This week brought us the season finale of Shedding for the Wedding. After three months of working out, dieting, and trying to lose weight at home, the final two couples – Sam and Brooks and Dawn and Adam – revealed their weight loss at a final weigh in that determined who would win their dream wedding.
First, we got to see how the six eliminated teams did after their individual eliminations. As each couple was revealed, it was very dramatic to see how much weight they had all lost. As Lindsey from Team Greek Week said, they all must have felt much more "sexy" and confident in their leaner and trimmer bodies. But, in the end, the couple that lost the most weight and, therefore, won the fantasy honeymoon at the Buchaneer Resort in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, was Team Big Band: Valerie and Dave.
Then it was all down to the Top Two Teams: Team Fun & Games and Team Eco-Lovers. When it was time for the couples to step up on the scale, it was obvious that both couples were very nervous. First went Dawn and Adam, who lost 112 combined pounds since they started the competition. Sam and Brooks jumped on the scale immediately afterwards, and had lost 161 combined pounds- making them the winners!
On this week's episode of Shedding for the Wedding, it was finally down to the toughest three couples: David and Allison, Sam and Brooks, and Dawn and Adam. Now, the competition is really fierce, and as one contestant said, they are all now transforming into athletes.
The episode started out with an emotional surprise for the couples. The couples were told that they would be seeing models showing them their bridal party attire for their weddings. Instead of strangers, the couples were greeted by their maids of honors and best men. It was an emotional and exciting moment for everyone as the couples were reunited with their friends and family for the first time in seven weeks. The couples then picked out their favorite designer dresses and tuxes for their wedding parties.
The second episode of Shedding for the Wedding began with a group trip to Beverly Hills where they met with their wedding planner, Brian, to discuss their wedding cakes. When the couples found out that they were going to have to taste the various cakes, some of the contestants were worried about the extra calories while others were excited about the opportunity to indulge in preparation for their weddings. Brooks and Samantha did eat some of the cake, because as Brooks said, "We can work out an extra half hour in the gym to work that little bit of cake off." At the end of the contest, Samantha and Brooks were not the only ones to have their cake and eat it too: Taylor and Peter also chowed down on cake.
Keeping to the original cake theme of the episode, this week's challenge was a cake walk. Each team had to carry their four-tiered cake through the mile and a half obstacle course. If they lose a tier, they get a time penalty, and the team with the longest time would lose privileges to work out with personal trainers Jennifer and Nicky. All of the teams lost at least one tier of their cake, except Laura and Austin, but their carefulness caused them to finish last. Allison and David finished first, and although they had a six minute penalty, they were the winners of the competition and their dream cake. The team the came in last with the time penalties and, therefore, lost privileges to work out with the trainers, was Team Gamers, Peter and Taylor.
The CW's newest television show Shedding for the Wedding premiered on February 23, 2011 among rave reviews. The show follows nine engaged couples who are overweight and want to shed that excess weight in time for their weddings. DietsinReview will be recapping this show each week as the show progresses to keep you updated.
The show began with a preview of what the season will entail and an introduction of the two trainers, Jennifer Cohen and Nicky Holender, who will whip the contestants into shape and the wedding planner, Brian Worley, who will help the couples make their unique dream weddings come true.
It was apparent right off the bat that Jennifer and Nicky mean business when it comes to getting these couples into shape. They start by putting the couples through an intense workout that draws tears from more than one contestant. While the couples are exercising, we are introduced to each team.
The newest reality show on The CW combines two popular themes: weight-loss and wedding planning. From the creators of The Biggest Loser, the first episode of Shedding for the Wedding airs tonight.
Hosted by Sara Rue, nine couples will compete to lose weight and win the wedding of their dreams. Over the course of three months, the competitors have the chance to win smaller components of their big day, from rings to wedding cake. They will be aided by expert trainers Nicky Holender (who trains Kendra Wilkinson) and Jennifer Cohen, and celebrity nutritionist Ashley Koff. The couples will also get help from wedding planner Brian Worley.

Man jailed, accused of stealing from Sanford demolition site
SANFORD, Fla. - A Sanford man is in the Seminole County Jail after police said he stole tens of thousands of dollars' worth of scrap metal from a place where he used to work.
Channel 9's Racquel Asa learned that the man's former employer said he caught the man as he was loading the goods into his truck and trailer.
Sanford police said an employee who came to change the locks at the complex took pictures of Otis
Police said each photo shows Wellon and others loading scrap metal into Wellon's truck.
"It was a crime of opportunity. It was for him until he was caught red-handed," said Shannon Cordingly of the Sanford Police Department.
Police say Wellon turned the trash to cash 13 times in July and August before his employer caught on.
Police said Wellon got away with scrapping $30,000 to
According to police, Wellon wasn't supposed to be on the work site when the alleged thefts occurred. They said he had been fired from the company doing the demolition work.
"It's great when you provide a photo and say, 'We know it's you, because we can see you in the picture doing it,'" said Cordingly. "It makes for a very quick open-and-closed case."
Police said charges against Wellon include trespassing on a construction site because he went on the job site without permission.
Police said they didn't have to search far for Wellon. He was already in the Seminole County Jail after a Seminole County

Nevertheless, few foreigners enter Rock Country on anything but business, and those that do are usually wise to avoid picking fights while doing it.

Chris Mittleman brings a private-equity mind-set to investing in public companies, with results that would be the envy of many private-equity managers. Accounts managed by his firm, Mittleman Brothers Investment Management, are up an annualized 20.6% since 2002, including a 40.7% gain in the first nine months of 2012. In contrast, the S&P 500 index has returned 7.3% a year over the same period, and 16.4% in this year's first three quarters.
The Locust Valley, N.Y.-based firm runs $115 million.
Mittleman, 44, does much of the research himself, helped by his brothers Dave and Phil, focusing on two financial measures: Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) and free cash flow, the two metrics favored by private-equity firms. He likes companies that trade for low multiples of Ebitda and generate lots of free cash.
"Virgin Media has used its free cash flow to buy back about 20% of its outstanding shares in just over two years, at a very attractive average price." -- Chris Mittleman Matthew Furman for Barron's
This distinctive approach has led him to some smaller stocks, including those of cosmetics maker Revlon and Carmike Cinemas, an operator of movie theaters. He also likes Avis Budget Group, CAR -3.1303848363009763% Avis Budget Group Inc.

Mittleman often buys shares in companies with sizable debt and thus resemble leveraged buyouts. The good thing is that Mittleman doesn't have to pay a control premium to make these equity investments. These stocks can be volatile. During 2008, Mittleman's accounts fell 64%, but they rebounded 150% in 2009.
Barron's : What appeals to you about Revlon?
Mittleman: Revlon rev -2.665589660743134% Revlon Inc. Cl A U.S.: NYSE USD36.15 -0.99 -2.665589660743134% /Date(1475182921525-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 46434 P/E Ratio 37.65625 Market Cap 1949775728.76099 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 337175 More quote details and news » [ticker: REV] sells cosmetics and beauty products in the mass market in over 100 countries, with 45% of sales from overseas. The stock is $15, and we think it's worth $26. The company's profitability and balance sheet have improved significantly since Alan Ennis took over as CEO in 2009. He has refinanced debt and cut costs. Revlon's Ebitda margin, at just under 20%—up from 16.5% in 2007—now matches that of its largest competitors. Free cash flow, which had been negative until 2008, should be around $100 million this year, or $1.91 per share. Net debt is down to 4.4 times estimated 2012 Ebitda from 6.4 times in 2007.
How does Revlon compare with its peers?

Revlon trades at an Ebitda multiple of eight [based on enterprise value, equity plus net debt] and a market-cap/free-cash-flow multiple of 7.9 times. Those other companies have much better historical growth rates, so Revlon probably does warrant a discounted valuation, but not the current gaping disparity.
How do you value Revlon?
Our intrinsic value estimate of $26 a share assumes a 10 multiple on estimated 2012 Ebitda of $280 million and 13.6 times free cash flow. One of the main reasons for Revlon's undervaluation is that Ron Perelman controls 76.3% of the shares. He has a deserved reputation for occasionally attempting to mistreat minority shareholders. Beside the Perelman factor, illiquidity in the shares and scant analyst coverage hurt the valuation. We endure those issues because of the high quality of the business and the large valuation discount to peers.
How about Carmike ckec -0.42813455657492355% Carmike Cinemas Inc.

It's the fourth-largest theater chain in the U.S., operating mainly in rural areas where competition is more limited. The company [CKEC] was a chronic underperformer and became a chronic outperformer under the direction of CEO David Passman, who took the reins in 2009. He used free cash flow to deleverage the balance sheet, refurbish run-down theaters, and close unprofitable locations. He also instituted innovative marketing techniques to drive midweek attendance, and trained staff to improve the customer experience and better exploit opportunities in high-margin concessions, which are 36% of sales, but the bulk of the profits.
How is Carmike valued?
It's now around $13, but we think its intrinsic value is $25. This estimate assumes a total enterprise value of seven times the $90 million in Ebitda it likely will produce in 2012, and 10 times the $40 million in free cash flow we estimate. That's about $22.75 per share. Carmike owns 20% of privately held Screenvision, the second-largest preshow movie-theater advertising company in the U.S. behind publicly traded National CineMedia ncmi -1.214574898785425% National CineMedia Inc.

We value that stake at $40 million, which adds another $2.25 per share in value.
And how does Carmike compare with its competitors?
The largest movie-theater chain in the U.S., Regal Entertainment RGC -1.0077874484654146% Regal Entertainment Group Cl A U.S.: NYSE USD21.61 -0.22 -1.0077874484654146% /Date(1475182847099-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 726000 AFTER HOURS USD21.61 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 22.510416666666668 Market Cap 3422783289.41329 Dividend Yield 4.072188801480796% Rev. per Employee 121405 More quote details and news » [RGC], trades for $15, or seven times Ebitda and 10 times free cash flow, with only a slightly higher Ebitda margin and probably inferior growth prospects to Carmike. The second-largest player in the industry, AMC, was recently bought out by a Chinese company for 8.2 times Ebitda. So we think our target multiples of seven times Ebitda and 10 times free cash flow are reasonable for Carmike.
Your view is that the rental-car stocks are underappreciated?
Avis Budget [CAR] is one of the largest industry players, with international sales at 40% of the total, after it bought Avis Europe for about $1 billion in 2011. Near-term concerns about weakness in the newly acquired European business have weighed on the share price recently. Avis also faces the prospect that strong used-car prices, a boon to profits since 2009, will moderate or decline and become a head wind. Those concerns are overly discounted in the current stock price
How is Avis valued?
With the stock around $16, the market cap is $2 billion, only 5.2 times the $380 million in free cash flow that the company should produce in 2012. That's a 19% free cash flow yield. We think the stock is worth $30, or 9.5 times free cash flow. Dollar Thrifty [DTG] trades today at 10 times its free cash flow.
The impact of Hurricane Sandy should be small, given increased one-way-rental demand, and demand from FEMA and the Red Cross should largely offset the decline in normal demand caused by the storm.
What about the industry?
It enjoys rational pricing because it's an oligopoly. About 95% of the U.S. market is controlled by the top four players: Enterprise, Hertz htz -3.650360069530668% Hertz Global Holdings Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD38.8 -1.47 -3.650360069530668% /Date(1475182916108-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1668525 AFTER HOURS USD38.8 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 46.617806079538624 Market Cap 3422346013.4819 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 267487 More quote details and news » [HTZ], Avis Budget, and Dollar Thrifty. And while the business is cyclical, it's generally growing, and down cycles are cushioned by an ability to quickly reduce fleet size to adjust to demand, something hotels and airlines can't do.
What about Virgin Media?
It's the largest cable-TV company in the U.K., a resilient business that actually grew straight through the great recession. The stock [VMED] is now about $32. With 268.4 million shares outstanding, its market cap is $8.73 billion, which is 8.7 times the $1 billion in free cash flow we estimate for 2012. Adding net debt of $9.17 billion gives a total enterprise value of $17.9 billion, or 6.7 times the Ebitda of $2.66 billion estimated for 2012.

We think fair value for Virgin is $40, which would be 7.5 times Ebitda and 10.74 times free cash flow.

BSkyB trades at 7.9 times Ebitda and 13.6 times free cash flow. Comcast is at 7.4 times Ebitda and 11.1 times free cash flow. Virgin Media has used its free cash flow to buy back about 20% of its outstanding shares in just over two years, at a very attractive average price of about $25.
What about management?
Neil Berkett has done an incredible job since he took over as CEO in March 2008. Virgin Media has reduced churn by bundling services in a quadruple play of TV, phone, Internet, and mobile. And the speed of their broadband network has proved to be a durable competitive advantage.

The stock last traded at $8.63, and we think current net asset value is $11.23, or $1.57 billion. Harbinger [HRG] is run by Phil Falcone, a billionaire investor with expertise in distressed assets.
Hasn't Falcone run afoul of the SEC?
In June, the SEC filed a civil suit seeking to bar Falcone from serving as an officer or director of any public company because of securities fraud alleged to have occurred at his hedge fund, Harbinger Capital Partners. It's important to note that Harbinger Group, the publicly traded company we own, is a separate entity and is not charged or involved in any way with that action, except that if the SEC suit is successful, Falcone would be forced to step down as chairman and CEO.
If that happens, it wouldn't change the value of what Harbinger currently owns and probably wouldn't impair its ability to continue growing its NAV [net asset value] at an above-average rate in the future because it has a deep bench of investment talent there besides Falcone, like David Maura, who shepherded the Spectrum Brands Holdings SPB -0.292525961679099% Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD136.34 -0.4 -0.292525961679099% /Date(1475182921596-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 304619 AFTER HOURS USD136.34 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 29.32043010752688 Market Cap 8123039859.40246 Dividend Yield 1.1148599090509022% Rev. per Employee 330600 More quote details and news » [SPB] investment
What's in Harbinger?
The largest component is its 57.4% stake in Spectrum Brands, amounting to $1.3 billion at the current price, or $9.52 per Harbinger share. [Spectrum is a diversified manufacturer whose products include Rayovac batteries.] The next-largest holding is 100%-owned Fidelity & Guaranty Life, a life-insurance and fixed-annuity company with a net book value of $845 million, or $6.03 per share. Then there's $415 million in cash and some securities, which adds $2.96 per HRG share, bringing the total assets to $18.51 per share. [Harbinger subsequently deployed most of that cash, as noted in the follow-up question below.]
We then subtract $500 million in debt, and $519.7 million in current value of convertible preferred stock, to get to the $11.23 NAV for Harbinger. There could be additional upside in Spectrum Brands, which recently announced an acquisition for $1.4 billion of a unit of Stanley Black & Decker SWK -1.4411788519148248% Stanley Black & Decker Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD121.73 -1.78 -1.4411788519148248% /Date(1475182814064-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1174531 AFTER HOURS USD121.73 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 18.990639625585022 Market Cap 18579114948.1146 Dividend Yield 1.9058572250061612% Rev. per Employee 220086 More quote details and news » that is highly accretive to Spectrum. There's also potential for further value creation at the company as they invest their $400 million in remaining cash.
Harbinger just invested most of that cash in an energy deal. Do you like it?
Yes. Harbinger is paying $373 million for 74.5% of a joint venture with Exco Resources [XCO] that will own 528 billion cubic feet of natural-gas reserves. It appears that this joint venture is likely to pay HRG dividends of around $20 million to $30 million per year, even at the currently low gas prices. That's a decent return on investment, with substantial upside should natural-gas prices rise.
Thanks, Chris.

Pop Rocks: Basic Cable Blues -- The 10 Movies You Will Always Watch When They Come On
You know the feeling: It's 11 p.m., you're lying half-conscious on your couch and thinking tonight -- tonight -- is the night you're finally going to go to bed before midnight and get a decent night's sleep. Maybe this will be the start of a new chapter in your life, one in which you no longer click channels aimlessly until the wee hours, allowing the idiot box to draw you in with its fluorescent tentacles and rendering you useless and nodding off at your desk the next day. By Jove, this could be the beginning of a whole new life!
But just in case, you scroll through the guide one more time. No, no...don't look at TBS or AMC, DON'T LOOK AT THEM.
Too late, you find yourself inexplicably watching heavily edited, commercially laden versions of one of your favorite movies. Next thing you know, it's 1:00 in the morning and you're covered in Dorito dust, brimming with just enough self-loathing to help you drift off into a fitful, wretched sleep that will come to an abrupt end when that alarm goes off in five hours.
What the hell is wrong with you?

They show this fucker every July 4th, sometimes in a 24-hour marathon, and I still can't not watch it when it's on. I own the 30th anniversary DVD, the Blu-ray and at least one VHS copy, and yet I cannot help sitting through 45 minutes worth of Chili's commercials and "Extenz" ads whenever it pops up in basic cable. Farewell and adieu to my goddamn common sense.
The Shawshank Redemption
I'm not sure what happened between the 1950s and today that turned our prison populations from decent-hearted fellows full of sage advice and homespun wisdom into tattooed psychopaths, but I'm sure Obama had something to do with it. And was there ever a more satisfying feeling than when Hadley beat the shit out of Boggs? Take that, you ginger rapist.
The Godfather
It's a special kind of stupid that makes me watch a 3+ hour movie...with commercials. I can't set aside 30 minutes to pay my bills, but I can somehow find five hours to watch a sanitized version of Sonny getting machine-gunned at the toll booth. I'm sure the folks at American Express will understand.
A Few Good Men
It took me a long time to warm up to this one, mostly because Aaron Sorkin's dialogue tends to throw me into spasms of buttock-clenching rage. Now, I'm a willing convert. Has Tom Cruise ever been as popular since? Has Demi Moore? Is it possible to watch the Col. Jessup scenes without growling along to every line ("Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg?")?
He really hated Lt. Weinberg, I guess. Or just Jews in general.
Deep Blue Sea
A.k.a. Jaws' bigger, dumber brother. I'm not sure it's "so bad, it's good" or it's just plain bad, but super-sized, hyperintelligent sharks chomping on respected actors like Stellan Skarsgaard and [SPOILER]Samuel L. Jackson[/SPOILER] never gets old. Nature is lethal, but it doesn't hold a candle to man. Or TBS.
Stay for the end credits, when you get to hear LL Cool J's "Deepest Bluest (Shark Fin)" rap!
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
What is our fascination with seafaring movies? Perhaps we all feel the pull of the briny blue, barely perceptible in genes that scarce remember our species' vagabond origins. Maybe it's the irresistible idea of leaving it all behind and setting out for the horizon, our troubles and responsibilities left on a faraway shore.
Or maybe we just like dudes in sailor outfits.
The Breakfast Club
I admit it; I hate The Breakfast Club. It's almost worth watching on TNT or the like just for the horrible editing: "F-damn you! F-damn you!"
And doesn't pot make you wanna dance?
Yeah, you thought Breakfast Club editing was bad. Every time I see this listed on AMC, I ask, "What's the [fucking] point?" And every time, I [fucking] watch it, my feet propped up on the chest containing my perfectly serviceable [fucking] HD DVD, chock full of every F-bomb and spray of Joe Pesci's arterial blood.
This is a pretty good approximation:
A Christmas Story
See also Jaws -- Here's the problem with A Christmas Story (and it's not that Darren McGavin was way too old for Melinda Dillon): You never get to see it all at once. The nature of the holidays is such that one rarely has the time to sit and enjoy a movie in its entirety, unless that movie is Die Hard. I'm still not sure I've ever watched this thing from beginning to end.
Honorable Mention: Fellowship of the Ring
I haven't braved this on basic cable, because I think it would clock in somewhere around seven hours on commercial TV. I've noticed, however, that Starz only ever plays Fellowship. Sure, it's the best one, but I'm now in a permanent state of mourning from watching Gandalf die 20 times.

Anyone know anything about layoff and downsizing plans with CECO?
Sentiment: Strong Sell
First off, I don't know the answer to the current layoff plan. The CEO is playing it close to the vest, and rightfully so. Secondly, no offense, but you might get a wider response without the "strong sell" sentiment. On the other hand, at least you're up front.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Yes, I also could have played it close to the vest, but that's not my style. Nothing against CECO specifically; I'm down on the entire FPE industry (APOL, BPI, CECO, COCO, CPLA, DV, EDMC, ESI, STRA, WPO, and Laureate Education). LOPE (Grand Canyon) is doing well, but we'll see if that holds in the long run (I'm skeptical of them too).
Sentiment: Sell

Beauty is leave for a distant and unexpected journey, or just go outside near home to eat an ice cream. Beauty is to understand what our hearts whispers, loving nature in all its forms, beauty is the wonder and wonder is the simplicity of a diary written by a child, the guardian of desires and hopes.

As a result of the IRS's recent acquiescence to a circuit court decision regarding the mortgage interest limitation, single individuals may be entitled to an enhanced mortgage interest deduction.

Resistance of avtripla vs. Sustiva
Nov 3, 2007
I have been exposed to a geno type of HIV that is resistant to Sustiva. I have no resistance to any drug before being exposed to this HIV . I do not know if i was reinfected yet. If i was ...will i be able to take Atripla or not. If this other HIV is resistant to Sustiva, and i caught it, Will i be able to take atripla once i start meds.. I am still not on meds to date.
Response from Dr. Young
If your virus is resistant to efavirenz (Sustiva), it will be resistant to the same efavirenz that is a part of Atripla (tenofovir/FTC/efavirenz).
Given that we have so many treatment options, there is no reason why I'd subject yourself to the unneeded risk of treatment failure on Atripla if your virus is already resistant to the efavirenz part of Atripla.

Packers live blog: Day 2 of the NFL Draft
Welcome everyone to Day 2 of the draft. One round down and two to go today.
For the second straight night we'll have a live blog running so you can keep up with every pick, every trade, every development and every wisecrack I make as the picks go flying by. I'll be answering questions and making predictions (usually not very good ones) as well as providing as much analysis as I can.
It was a pretty good time last night and I'm hoping we have the same kind of turnout with the same good comments and questions.
The second round begins at 6 p.m. and I'll get started 15 to 20 minutes beforehand.
The Packers have picks in the second (No. 49) and third rounds (No. 90).

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Australian drug discovery and development firm Bionomics bought San Diego-based biotech Eclipse Therapeutics in a scrip-based $10-million deal, to acquire the firm's CSC Rx Discovery™ cancer stem cell (CSC)-targeting discovery platform and pipeline, and gain a presence in the U.S. Founded in 2011 as a spin-out from Biogen Idec's oncology franchise, Eclipse is developing a pipeline of antibody-based therapeutics that inhibit the growth of cancer stem cells. Lead solid tumor candidate ET101 is expected to move into clinical trials in 2014.
Bionomics is focused on exploiting its MultiCore®, Angene®, and ionX® platforms for the discovery and development of drugs against cancer and central nervous system disorders. The firm's lead vascular disrupting agent, anticancer compound BNC105, is in Phase II trials against renal cancer, and is also in development against ovarian cancer. A Phase II trial evaluating BNC105 against metastatic mesothelioma has been completed. Bionomics CNS pipeline is headed by BNC210, which has completed Phase I trials as a potential treatment for anxiety and panic disorders.
"This acquisition elevates and expands Bionomics' oncology pipeline beyond BNC105, our primary cancer drug candidate which is now at advanced clinical stages," comments Deborah Rathjen, Ph.D., the firm's CEO. "The Eclipse acquisition will provide Bionomics with an important strategic base in the U.S., the world's largest pharmaceutical market."

Skip to comments.More Colleges Declare They Will Not Recognize Some Christian Groups
Posted on 06/13/2014 6:04:51 AM PDT by marshmallow
Citing concerns about discrimination, more colleges are declaring that they will no longer recognize Christian groups, especially evangelical groups, as official student organizations.
The trend is driven by the universities desire to rid their campuses of bias, particularly against gays and lesbians, according to The New York Times. In addition, the student organizations requirement that leaders be Christian has led to accusations of discrimination against non-Christians.
Colleges and Evangelicals Collide on Bias Policy (The New York Times)
Christian groups that oppose perversion, not OK.
The left wing bias is still OK though evidently.
Christians had better unite to take their country back from these militant perverts. It wouldn't surprise me if Islamic groups are behind this, threatening to withhold funding from colleges which allow Christian groups.
Human beings have an innate need for a religious belief system. Very few people percentage wise are comfortable with Atheism and Agnosticism. By killing off the major religion of the west, Christianity, the Muslims KNOW they are creating a fertile seed-bed for Islam.
Further, the mainstream Christian religions, primarily Anglicism/Episcopalianism, Methodism and Presbyterianism, have waffled on the Biblical prohibitions on homosexuality. These radical groups have been encouraged by their defections and hope they pry other Christian groups from their core principles, as the entire moral edifice of Christianity will then collapse.
And by doing so opens the university up to violation of civil rights violations lawsuits. Hope they have a large endowment.
Are the university dweebs going to pronounce a "Fatwa" against Muslim organizations, too? They are more vehemently against the sodomite lifestyle.
Somehow I think they won't...
No one should donate to alumni fund drives. This is typical of what the money enables.
. . . .and so it begins . . .
To accommodate the 3% deviants they must oppress the 90% Christians.
When do we start an actual shooting civil war.
If they can't exclude homosexual groups, then they shouldn't be able to exclude Christian groups. etc.
I wonder if this will be Supreme Court bound?
I suspect this attitude will all end when entitlements end, and the country has nothing to offer from the WH. It will just be too late to keep the doors open and pay the radical professors.
Given the anti-God attitude , it is way past the time that Christian groups start to refuse to recognize some of these secular institutions.
Remember that FR slogan that said something like "Guns defend against tyranny."
Well, tyranny is here.
Only college "educated" libtards could believe that banishing Christian groups is not in itself biased.
Christians need to vote with their feet.
Can you say: "RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE USA?"
I do not know why any Christian would want to go to a liberal arts college in the first place.
We can preach against prostitution but going to a whore house and paying the tuition is a bad way to do it.
"Christians need to vote with their feet."
NO and HECK NO.
Need to fight these people the same way they have gotten this far.
Sue them; call them intolerant, etc. We cant just hand over huge chunks of our culture and nation to them.
Christian organizations require that their members be Christians? Horrible! The Christians should sue.
And would the LGBT groups allow those who don't believe in their lifestyle to join their groups? Wonder if anyone has made this argument to these so-called educators?
Calling Jay Sekulow . . .
You betcha. They have played this game unopposed for decades.

These are the same college that rip-off our kids by giving them an inferior education at inflated prices. Most criminal groups aren't big on Christianity...seems colleges are no exception.
BIG difference, Americans are ARMED to the teeth. These radicals will have their rearends handed to them.
Yep, and these folks forget that many Americans Christians, unlike those in the Middle East are ARMED to the teeth.
The pro-homo heterosexuals are becoming just as bad as the militant homos.
"Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit."—Matt. 15:14
But bias against Christians is A-OK.
Sounds like a macro-aggression to me.
Christian groups should stop being general and start being denominational. At that point colleges will have to deny equal access to real religions even though they receive public funds and they will be discriminating against real religions purely on the basis of their religion.
Exactly right.
Colleges need to de-fund frivolous groups. In the name of controlling college costs and reducing college debt, they should cut off all support for clubs and groups on campus. It makes economic sense, and it will eliminate the discrimination against Christians - a double win.
Let me say this about that.
We might be a whole lot closer than we were twenty years ago.
...and it might just hinge on the 2016 election results as to how much closer we will be in a year and five and a half months.
Am I itchin, not when I know the devastation and history should not be repeated when we know the history.
Yep, and these folks forget that many Americans Christians, unlike those in the Middle East are ARMED to the teeth.
...hardly armed to the teeth as the US military is, which will be sent into swirling, SWAT team action at the first sign of any organized pushback from mere citizenry...think of Janet Reno, and multiply her actions by ten, and that's what will happen if you decide to exercise your rights by discharging a firearm at a gvernmental entity...
...and anyhow, being armed to the teeth hardly jives with the current Pope, what with his humbler and more socially conscious than thou posture...
Am I itchin, not when I know the devastation and history should not be repeated when we know the history...
...please translate...
Just go back and read the referenced comment #10 it should be obvious.

I wrote about Rebecca Artemisa's work on My Modern Met last week, and found it so delightful that I wanted to share it here. Aren't all of her details divine? Ghosts! Candles! Snakes! Stars! So much. I love it, and especially enjoy the symbolism that's inherent in all of her images.
Artemisa's work is colorful and sometimes cheery. Other times, though, it's not. It's filled with fear and sadness. Her paintings are a form of therapy for the mental stress that her chronic illness causes her. In her words:
i am still always painting. my paintings feel very dark to me but i think it is easy to sometimes dismiss them as sweet. sometimes my paintings get a little sweet looking, maybe as a way to cope with how bad i can feel. this isn't a sad thing to me though, quite the opposite. i'm glad i have something good to pour myself into when i am stuck inside so often, it keeps my life and my ability to be kind opened up.

Timothy Stanley: Why Should the Press Be Polite to Presidents?Roundup: Historians' Take
(CNN) -- The comedian Rodney Dangerfield used to complain, "I don't get no respect." Sometimes, it feels like those words ought to be printed on the presidential seal.
Last week, Barack Obama was interrupted by Daily Caller journalist Neil Munro while making a statement on immigration. Munro shouted questions at him until the president was forced to stop and demand silence. Many media outlets, particularly those with a liberal bent, were outraged....
[But] relations between presidents and press have always been fraught. President Theodore Roosevelt was the first POTUS to try to cultivate journalists: He assigned them a room in the White House. But journalists who put out reports without Teddy's consent (so-called "Muckrakers") were cut out of the loop, denied access to any federal department. Incidentally, Roosevelt's relations with ordinary voters were just as prickly. In 1912, he was shot while giving a speech on the campaign trail. With admirable sangfroid, Teddy calculated from the lack of blood that the bullet had not penetrated any organs and finished his oration, before being rushed to the nearest hospital. It puts Obama being told "You lie!" into perspective....

The stories are becoming all too familiar. A young child does something utterly harmless, and the "authorities" come down on him (or her) like a SWAT team. Or school administrators announce some outrageous new "rule" that 20 years ago would have gotten them fired.
Recent examples include:
Two 10 year-old girls running a lemonade stand suddenly find themselves confronted by armed police officers, telling them that they will have to "close it down" because it "violates health ordinances" - are you kidding me? A lemonade stand?
A 6 year old chases his friend around the playground, pointing his finger at him and yelling, "Bang! Bang!" And the school administrators suspend the child and convene a hearing to determine "what to do" about his "disturbing behavior."
A young girl brings a "Hello, Kitty" bubble maker to school and is suspended and "investigated" because the toy (which is pink and white) vaguely resembled a gun.
And in what is probably the most absurd case of all, a 6-year old is suspended after (are you ready) chewing his Pop-Tart into a shape that sort of looked like a gun!
Then there is the school that proclaimed that home-made cupcakes will be allowed ONLY if they are for the child's own use. They can no longer be brought to school to be shared with classmates - if treats are intended for distribution to other students, only "store-bought" bakery goods will henceforth be permitted.
Along similar lines, yet another school has forbidden students from distributing invitations to their birthday party. Why? Because, since typically only the friends of the student are invited, that might lead to (horrors!) "hurt feelings" among those who were not invited. Liberalism gone wild.
Finally, school administrators at one school have declared that hugging any child other than your own will now be prohibited, even for teachers and teachers' assistants. A child falls and hurts herself? Too bad. Don't you dare offer her even the slightest reassuring touch on the shoulder - you could be looking at accusations of "inappropriate touching" or worse, "child molestation."
Absurd? Of course. Outrageous? Without a doubt.
But the more disturbing question in every one of these cases is this: Where are the parents? Why are they not storming the school with (metaphorically) torches and pitchforks? After all, the parents clearly have the higher moral authority here - these are their kids. They also far outnumber the school personnel, and they pay the salaries of these snotty little bureaucrats. However you look at it, the parents have the right to demand accountability from "public servants" who have run amok.
Instead, most parents sit back and do nothing. Why? Some may be fearful of being targeted by authorities themselves. Others simply don't want to "make waves" or stand out from the flock of sheep. But tolerating tyranny only promotes more tyranny. You either fight it, or you are encouraging it.
And, no, I don't care if it was your child who was the target or not. My children are grown, but if any child in my kid's school had been the victim of this kind of quasi-fascist garbage, I would have stormed into the principal's office, finger in his (or her) face, warning them in the strongest terms that such nonsense will result in their sitting in a courtroom. I've done it.
So I ask again, when such obnoxious incidents occur, where are the parents?

The system will eventually extend to Sacramento and San Diego, totaling 800 miles with up to 24 stations. In addition, the Authority is working with regional partners to implement a statewide rail modernization plan that will invest billions of dollars in local and regional rail lines to meet the state's 21st century transportation needs.

Late-Breakers schedule Speaking of my schedule for posting updates to the Late-Breakers page, here is a summary for those of you who may have just joined MacFixIt recently:
Unless otherwise indicated, I update the Late-Breakers page every Monday, Wednesday and Friday - almost always before 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. On these days, I often add additional or revised postings later in the day. On other days, I may or may not post updates, depending on how much news there is to report and how much time I have. With the release of Mac OS 8, for example, I had postings every day last week.
And speaking of Mac OS 8, I have already received more email on the new OS than on any other subject ever covered in MacFixIt. As a result, I am more behind schedule than ever in reading my email and some worthy reports will likely never make it to the Late-Breakers page. Similarly, my ability to reply to email is temporarily near zero. Until things calm down, this situation is likely to persist. Thanks, as always, for your understanding.
