Predicting the future is near impossible -- but that doesn't stop us all from having a red hot go. Human beings have been predicting the future since the beginning of history and the results range from the hilarious to the downright uncanny.
One thing all future predictions have in common: they're rooted in our current understanding of how the world works. It's difficult to escape that mindset. We have no idea how technology will evolve, so our ideas are connected to the technology of today.

Advertorial Feature
Thousands of music fans have been treated to an audio-visual extravaganza in a London square by one of the dance world's biggest stars.
Canadian DJ Deadmau5 put on the gig in Flat Iron Square to celebrate the launch of the Nokia Lumia smartphone.
And while 500 people were invited to the bash, thousands more showed up to watch the DJ perform in this trademark mouse head.
The 31-year-old, with the help of the stunning light show, brought the area to life with his electro-house music.
As he played his heart out from the rooftop of a building, a team of engineers transformed the street into a kaleidoscope of colours
The gig marked the arrival of the Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 in stores across the UK this month.
It followed last year's Lumia 800 event which saw the DJ bring Millbank Tower alive with a 4D light show in front of hundreds of screaming fans.
The DJ said: "Playing Millbank Tower was an incredible experience, so it's great to be back in London to team up with Nokia again. The new show was a totally different concept from last year, but equally inspiring and technically challenging."
Conor Pierce, Nokia vice-president, added: "We see the Lumia 920 as one of the most exciting phones we have launched at Nokia, it includes some truly ground-breaking innovations: Wireless charging, a screen that automatically adjusts its colour and brightness, depending on sunlight, a touchscreen that even works when you're wearing gloves and best of all it's a beautiful device; like the 'This is Lumia' event the 920 looks just awesome."
At last year's event at Millbank Tower, an unexpected 18,000 people showed up - causing travel chaos as the venue was only announced online at the last minute.

Enhancing police cooperation focus of first ever visit to Ecuador by an INTERPOL Secretary General
QUITO, Ecuador – INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble has met with senior police and government officials in Ecuador in the first ever official visit to the country by a head of the world police body.
The mission by Mr Noble recognized the work of INTERPOL's National Central Bureau (NCB) in Quito which provides the crucial link to ensure that the National Police of Ecuador can access INTERPOL's global tools to combat transnational crime and for national law enforcement officers to benefit from training offered by the world's largest police organization.
The INTERPOL chief recognized NCB Quito and the National Police of Ecuador as world leaders in fugitive apprehension, pointing to their strong contribution to INTERPOL's Operation Infra-SA (International Fugitive Round-up and Arrest – South America) earlier this year.
"Ecuador has repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to regional and global policing as shown by the role they played during Operation Infra-SA which has resulted in a number of arrests across the world of dangerous internationally-wanted criminals, taking them off the streets and protecting the public from harm," said Secretary General Noble.
During the mission, Secretary General Noble met with Homero Arellano Lascano, Minister of Coordination for Security, Dr José Serrano Minister of Interior, and Commandante General, Gral. Ing. Comm. Patricio Franco Lopez and other senior government officials to identify areas for enhanced collaboration and cooperation between INTERPOL and Ecuador in combating organized crime.
Ministers Arellano Lascano and Serrano offered to provide INTERPOL and police officials from countries in the region with state of the art training and capacity building facilities as part of Ecuador's millennium educational initiative. Secretary General Noble agreed that police in Ecuador and the region could benefit from INTERPOL's launching advanced police training as part of Ecuador's millennium educational initiative.
The mission to Ecuador is the first in a tour of the Americas by the Secretary General, who will also make first-time visits to Guatemala, Honduras and Belize where he will meet with top policing and government officials

From another AT fan comes this e-mail:
"I enjoy the 'batcasts.' The interview with the band could have been a little bit longer. I liked Jello's question/answer session a lot too. I'm a gigantic Jello fan.
I liked to hear what those guys from that Knight of the New Crusade band had to say and some of their music. I think they really have a good message. I'm a serious Christian and I think the ridiculous fundamentalist 'Christians' (we hate immigrants-love thy neighbor?, love the death penalty/war-thou shalt not kill?, etc.). I don't agree with them on some things like evolution and personal interpretation of the bible. I believe in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches are great sources of guidance in interpretation of the bible, but that it is all pretty clear if you just read the damn thing.I really appreciate that Alternative Tentacles and Jello have been able to make the distinction between "Christians" who let emotions and sentiments about their imagined 1950's God-fearing nation rule their lives. Real Christians are humble, and love people from other religions and nations as brothers and sisters. I believe that the conservative right that's giving us so much troulbe over its "Christian values" isn't full of people who are Christian because they believe the theology or love Jesus, I get the feeling they're just doing what mommy and daddy did because that's right and how could they possibly be wrong? The most devout Christians I have met are from place where the religion is persecuted and converts. People raised in somewhere like Central Pennsylvania where the different religion is some Catholics who live two streets over raises braindead hypcrites.CHALLENGE our thoughts CHALLENGE our beliefs. That produces people who can actually think instead of braindead fundamentalist zombies. I mean it for everyone else as well! I like when my liberal beliefs are challenged alongside my Christian ones.I'm going to buy a bunch of Altenrative Tentacles stuff soon, I love your label and how Jello has never given up. Keep on rocking against the corporate enslavement of our planet and corrupt governments!
-Dan E."
The order I received was perfect. Well within the shipping time. This is my second order with you guys, and I was very happy with my order. Please keep up the good work. I look forward to future orders with you guys :)- Ed G."
"Hi! My husband recently emailed you from Iraq and he told me that you sent him a box with tons of things! I cannot tell you how incredibly happy he and the other soldiers are! It was so great of you to send the CDs, stickers, sweatshirt, etc to him. I think that they believe most people don't support them (and it's not like they choose where they go or what they do) and your generosity made a ton of difference to him.Thank you sooo much!Sincerely, Michele and family"
"Hi! This is Daniel from Germoney. I am writing to you because IÇve just found the release of the band Knights Of The New Crusade on your hp. I could read that this band has sth. to do with christianity, so I would like to know whatÇs up with them exactly. I hope you do not release religious fucked ups on your label. This would makes you incredible in my eyes.
Love and peace, Daniel"
"It saddens me to write this as I have been a fan of the Dead Kennedy's for many years. The show Saturday was embarrassing; your new lead "Yuppie" singer is terrible. I only went to the show to see Flipper and the Avengers because I thought the DK's would be bad without Jello and it's true. My friends had never seen any of the bands and they had the same opinion as I. I suggest you put the DK's to bed where they belong and move on to separate projects because without the name Dead Kennedy's your new lead singer will suffer the terrible fate of selling used cars somewhere like Oroville.A former fan"
"Jesse The Mail Male doing the podcast totally ruins the mail order experience for me. Something about hearing a much younger voice than I'd expected; it somewhat destroys the image I had of him as a grizzled old hippie with an eye patch and a penchant for talking about The Dead. I had my image firmly set, based solely on scribbled notes he'd include in packages or the emails I've received from down AT way.- Richard"
From Ireland On-line:"In drawing the comparison to American military behaviour in Iraq to that of Saddam, [Osama Bin Laden] said: "The jihad is ongoing, thank God, despite all the oppressive measures adopted by the US Army and its agents (which has reached) a point where there is no difference between this criminality and Saddam's criminality."
... Bin Laden also denied Bush administration assertions that it was better to fight terrorists in Iraq than on US soil.
"The reality shows that the war against America and its allies has not been limited to Iraq as he (Bush) claims. Iraq has become a point of attraction and restorer of (our) energies," he said."
Stompin' Tom rocks. Even kd lang has got to admit that.
Stephen Harper blows chunks, on the other hand, but at least our Bush-Lite (and whoever thought you'd be able to say that? It's like Quayle-Light - the mind boggles) is thoroughly shackled by his weak minority.
/political ranting. Sorry. It's pretty much constant up here today. Thanks again for the prompt service. Much appreciated.
Thanks! Antti

Action Research Shows Writing Diminishes Test Anxiety
Research has shown that letting students write about their worries for 10 minutes before an exam substantially diminishes the link between test anxiety and test performance, according to a report published in Science Journal in 2011 by Gerardo Ramirez and Sian L. Beilock. University of St. Thomas recent graduate Susan Mathis researched a similar topic for her capstone project in the Master of Education program. Her data supported their report.
Over the course of two semesters, 975 students in the UST M.Ed. program researched topics relevant to their interests. Fourteen students with outstanding projects, including Mathis, were awarded Distinguished Action Research Study Awards as a culmination of the hard work in their capstone projects.
Dr. Catherine Barber, assistant professor and director of Research at UST, said these awards are a way to spotlight excellence in educational research within the School of Education and to promote graduate students' development as action researchers.
"The School of Education research faculty are proud of the accomplishments of all of our students, as the action research process can be long and arduous," Barber said. "The Distinguished Action Research Award recipients have produced work that is of the highest caliber, and I congratulate them on their success. We hope that many of the recipients will pursue publication of their work."
Students identified a topic of their choosing, reviewed the scholarly literature on this topic, wrote a research proposal, conducted the study, analyzed the data and reported the research findings. Winners were selected by a panel of faculty reviewers with expertise in research.
Mathis' project was titled "Exploring the Effects of Expressive Writing on a Student's Test Anxiety and Performance." Mathis tested the effectiveness of expressive writing before testing to diminish anxiety and achieve improved performance. She said students experience a number of high-stake assessments during their academic careers, and may experience test anxiety because their performance may impact not only high school graduation, but also future career goals, such as university acceptance.
"As an educator, I have seen an increase in student test and performance anxiety," Mathis said. "Although some level of stress may not hinder a student's performance and may lead to increased productivity, test anxiety may be debilitating to the extent that the student is unable to perform reflective of their ability."
Many students do research related to the schools where they teach and apply the results. Mathis' subject was a student of hers at The John Cooper School in The Woodlands, Texas, a co-educational, non-sectarian, independent, college preparatory day school. Data suggested an association between reduced anxiety and improved performance when the participant responded to an expressive writing prompt before testing. She was able to observe the benefits the student received from the study, and it has inspired her to move forward with her research.
"Because I chose a topic that interested me prior to beginning the program, the research and analysis were interesting, engaging and very personal to me," Mathis said. "This project followed a couple of years of reading and attending conferences related to the topic. It is an exciting and humbling experience to be selected for the award, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my results with colleagues."
Mathis, who lives in The Woodlands, was grateful to the UST master's program because it gave her an opportunity to complete the program in only two years, and the satellite location at The University Center campus in The Woodlands was very convenient for her. She also valued the face-to-face versus online instruction, which ultimately allowed her to focus more on studying and research and less on travel. The School of Education offers classes at 15 satellite sites around Houston, which provide face-to-face, online and hybrid instruction.
Other action research topics included "Comparing ESL and Dual Language Students' Reading Comprehension Growth through Vocabulary Strategies" and "Effects of Intensive Vocabulary Instruction with At-risk Student Populations."
The University of St. Thomas, dedicated to educating leaders of faith and character, is a private institution committed to the liberal arts and to the religious, ethical and intellectual tradition of Catholic higher education. St. Thomas is Houston's only Catholic University and was founded by the Basilian Fathers. "Like" us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter, @stthomashouston.

How Torque Converters Work
There are four components inside the very strong housing of the torque converter:
Transmission fluid
Transmission fluid
The housing of the torque converter is bolted to the flywheel of the engine, so it turns at whatever speed the engine is running at. The fins that make up the pump of the torque converter are attached to the housing, so they also turn at the same speed as the engine. The cutaway below shows how everything is connected inside the torque converter.
The pump inside a torque converter is a type of centrifugal pump. As it spins, fluid is flung to the outside, much as the spin cycle of a washing machine flings water and clothes to the outside of the wash tub. As fluid is flung to the outside, a vacuum is created that draws more fluid in at the center.
The pump section of the torque converter is attached to the housing.
The fluid then enters the blades of the turbine, which is connected to the transmission. The turbine causes the transmission to spin, which basically moves your car. You can see in the graphic below that the blades of the turbine are curved. This means that the fluid, which enters the turbine from the outside, has to change direction before it exits the center of the turbine. It is this directional change that causes the turbine to spin.
The torque converter turbine: Note the spline in the middle. This is where it connects to the transmission.
In order to change the direction of a moving object, you must apply a force to that object -- it doesn't matter if the object is a car or a drop of fluid. And whatever applies the force that causes the object to turn must also feel that force, but in the opposite direction. So as the turbine causes the fluid to change direction, the fluid causes the turbine to spin.
The fluid exits the turbine at the center, moving in a different direction than when it entered. If you look at the arrows in the figure above, you can see that the fluid exits the turbine moving opposite the direction that the pump (and engine) are turning. If the fluid were allowed to hit the pump, it would slow the engine down, wasting power. This is why a torque converter has a stator.

KeelyNet BBS Files w/bonus PDF of 'Keely and his Discoveries'
Finally, I've gotten around to compiling all the files (almost 1,000 - about 20MB and lots of work doing it) from the original KeelyNet BBS into a form you can easily navigate and read using your browser, ideally Firefox but it does work with IE. Most of these files are extremely targeted, interesting and informative, I had forgotten just how much but now you can have the complete organized, categorized set, not just sprinklings from around the web. They will keep you reading for weeks if not longer and give you clues and insights into many subjects and new ideas for investigation and research. IN ADDITION, I am including as a bonus gift, the book (in PDF form) that started it all for me, 'Keely and his Discoveries - Aerial Navigation' which includes the analysis of Keely's discoveries by Dr. Daniel G. Brinton. This 407 page eBook alone is worth the price of the KeelyNet BBS CD but it will give you some degree of understanding about what all Keely accomplished which is just now being rediscovered, but of course, without recognizing Keely as the original discoverer. Chapters include; Vibratory Sympathetic and Polar Flows, Vibratory Physics, Latent Force in Interstitial Spaces and much more. To give some idea of how Keely's discoveries are being slowly rediscovered in modern times, check out this Keely History. These two excellent bodies of information will be sent to you on CD. If alternative science intrigues and fascinates you, this CD is what you've been looking for...

'The Evolution of Matter' and 'The Evolution of Forces' on CD
Years ago, I had been told by several people, that the US government frequently removes books they deem dangerous or 'sensitive' from libraries. Some are replaced with sections removed or rewritten so as to 'contain' information that should not be available to the public despite the authors intent. A key example was during the Manhattan Project when the US was trying to finalize research into atomic bombs. They removed any books that dealt with the subject and two of them were by Dr. Gustave Le Bon since they dealt with both energy and matter including radioactivity. I had been looking for these two books for many years and fortunately stumbled across two copies for which I paid about $40.00 each. I couldn't put down the books once I started reading them. Such a wealth of original discoveries, many not known or remembered today. / Page 88 - Without the ether there could be neither gravity, nor light, nor electricity, nor heat, nor anything, in a word, of which we have knowledge. The universe would be silent and dead, or would reveal itself in a form which we cannot even foresee. If one could construct a glass chamber from which the ether were to be entirely eliminated, heat and light could not pass through it. It would be absolutely dark, and probably gravitation would no longer act on the bodies within it. They would then have lost their weight. / Page 96-97 - A material vortex may be formed by any fluid, liquid or gaseous, turning round an axis, and by the fact of its rotation it describes spirals. The study of these vortices has been the object of important researches by different scholars, notably by Bjerkness and Weyher. They have shown that by them can be produced all the attractions and repulsions recognized in electricity, the deviations of the magnetic needle by currents, etc. These vortices are produced by the rapid rotation of a central rod furnished with pallets, or, more simply, of a sphere. Round this sphere gaseous currents are established, dissymetrical with regard to its equatorial plane, and the result is the attraction or repulsion of bodies brought near to it, according to the position given to them. It is even possible, as Weyher has proved, to compel these bodies to turn round the sphere as do the satellites of a planet without touching it. / Page 149 - "The problem of sending a pencil of parallel Hertzian waves to a distance possesses more than a theoretical interest. It is allowable to say that its solution would change the course of our civilization by rendering war impossible. The first physicist who realizes this discovery will be able to avail himself of the presence of an enemy's ironclads gathered together in a harbour to blow them up in a few minutes, from a distance of several kilometres, simply by directing on them a sheaf of electric radiations. On reaching the metal wires with which these vessels are nowadays honeycombed, this will excite an atmosphere of sparks which will at once explode the shells and torpedoes stored in their holds. With the same reflector, giving a pencil of parallel radiations, it would not be much more difficult to cause the explosion of the stores of powder and shells contained in a fortress, or in the artillery sparks of an army corps, and finally the metal cartridges of the soldiers. Science, which at first rendered wars so deadly, would then at length have rendered them impossible, and the relations between nations would have to be established on new bases."

Justice Thurgood Marshall Distinguished Professor of Law
J.D., Columbia University School of Law, 2001
B.A., Yale University, 1997
Brandon L. Garrett joined the law faculty in 2005. His research and teaching interests include criminal procedure, wrongful convictions, habeas corpus, corporate crime, scientific evidence, civil rights, civil procedure and constitutional law. Garrett's recent research includes studies of DNA exonerations and organizational prosecutions. The research web pages below provide data related to those studies.
Garrett's recent book examining corporate prosecutions, titled "Too Big to Jail: How Prosecutors Compromise with Corporations," was published by Harvard University Press in Fall 2014. Translations are forthcoming in Spain and Taiwan. A new book examining the implications of the decline of the death penalty is in contract with Harvard University Press. In 2011, Harvard University Press published Garrett's book, "Convicting the Innocent: Where Criminal Prosecutions Go Wrong," examining the cases of the first 250 people to be exonerated by DNA testing. That book was the subject of a symposium issue in New England Law Review, and received an A.B.A. Silver Gavel Award, Honorable Mention, and a Constitutional Commentary Award. It was translated for editions in China, Japan and Taiwan. In 2013, Foundation Press published Garrett's casebook, "Federal Habeas Corpus: Executive Detention and Post-Conviction Litigation," co-authored with Lee Kovarsky. Garrett's work has been widely cited by courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, lower federal courts, state supreme courts, and courts in other countries, such as the Supreme Courts of Canada and Israel. Garrett also frequently speaks about criminal justice matters before legislative and policymaking bodies, groups of practicing lawyers, law enforcement, and to local and national media.
Garrett attended Columbia Law School, where he was an articles editor of the Columbia Law Review and a Kent Scholar. After graduating, he clerked for the Hon. Pierre N. Leval of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He then worked as an associate at Neufeld, Scheck & Brustin LLP in New York City.

Bailey McCann, Opalesque New York:
Assets under management for listed alternatives have ballooned to $550 billion since 2008, growing the group to more than double its initial size. Alternative UCITS funds are also growing at a similar rate in Europe, according to a new paper released by SEI. Not only are fund managers bringing more products to market, but investment advisors are using more alternatives in their portfolios since last year. The paper shows that nearly three-quarters of financial advisors are using some form of alternatives in their portfolios, with many saying they plan to allocate to more over the next year.
This trend is expected to continue, moving listed alternatives from what many thought was a fad to one of the fundamental tools for advisors. McKinsey &
Company, predict that alternatives' share of
the U.S. mutual fund market will double from
2010 to 2015, and they are expected to
account for nearly one-fourth of all retail
revenue by the end of that period.
Paper authors note that retirement plans, especially DC plans are likely to be the next big area of growth for private fund managers with listed alternatives. According to the report, DC plans had nearly $5.1tn in assets at the
end of 2012, about 60% of them managed via
mutual funds. DC funds have typically been out of reach to alternatives managers, but more plan sponsors are getting into real est......................

The changes lift a ban on part-time employment, ease limits on a company's ability to hire and fire, and to hire freelancers. Mexico's outgoing president says the measures will promote job creation.
MEXICO CITY — Violeta León, 34, has worked in various accounts receivables departments for years on a "semi-formal" basis, keeping regular office hours but getting no health, housing or social security type of benefits.
The use of such freelance workers, or contract employees, is common in Mexico, where labor laws make it next to impossible to lay off workers in a downturn or fire poor performers.
"It's really hard to get yourself established," says León, who was fortunate enough recently to find a formal job with full benefits.
An overhaul of the country's labor laws passed last week by the Mexican Congress may be the first step toward strengthening the formal economy. Mexico's outgoing president, Felipe Calderón, says the measure will promote job creation and improve working conditions in a country where about 30% of the population works in the informal economy.
The changes — the first major changes to Mexican labor laws in more than 40 years — ease legal constraints on a company's ability to hire and fire, lift a ban on part-time employment, allow probationary periods for new hires and cap the amount of money a company must pay to laid-off workers.
They also limit a company's ability to hire freelance workers as a way to get around the strict labor laws.
"Implementing labor reforms gives incentives to invest and promotes the incorporation of informal jobs into the formal sector, providing social security to workers and their families," business group Coparmex said in a statement.
Left-wing lawmakers opposed the changes, arguing they would weaken worker rights and protect powerful union bosses who often lead lavish lifestyles. No changes were made to rules that prevent outside audits of union financial records or union members from viewing the contents of union contracts.
"It's the worst of both worlds," says Cristina Auerbach, a labor lawyer working with coal miners in the northern state of Coahuila, of the recent reforms. "It strips away rights from workers and leaves union leaders untouched."
Mexico's unions are key backers of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which takes power Dec. 1 after being out of office for 12 years. The party has active union leaders in its congressional delegations.
Left-wing lawmakers in the Senate unsuccessfully attempted to add an article to the law so that labor leaders would have to consult workers before calling a strike. The article was an attempt to end "ghost unions," which organize work sites without the consent of the workers then demand the business owners sign contracts to avoid being shut down by strikes.
Luisa Alcalde, lawmaker from the Citizens' Movement party, says the unions are extorting from all sides under such schemes.
PRI lawmakers voted down changes that would have added full transparency to the union ledgers and required union leaders be voted in by secret ballot. PRI lower house leader Manlio Fabio Beltrones said the party is in favor of transparency but that unions should decide how to elect its leaders.
The provisions that did pass will allow unions to opt for secret-ballot elections under certain conditions and oblige them to make their accounts open to workers every six months.
Construction worker Ricardo Munguia, 30, has benefited from Mexico's labor laws in some ways, such as the Christmas bonuses all employees receive. But he knows little about the unions that have represented him on job sites over the years and even less about the way labor leaders have spent his dues.
"A lot of (money) gets diverted," he says.
The PRI resistance to the changes appeared to contradict the pledge of PRI President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto to promote transparency, improve access to information and create and anti-corruption commission. Analysts say the pledge will be difficult to keep.
"If you make unions more democratic, the PRI would lose one of its bases," says political analyst Fernando Dworak.
Manuel Molano, adjunct-director of the Mexican Competitiveness Institute, says the overhauling of labor laws is long overdue and benefits employers and employees alike.
Currently, cases of employees disputing terminations can take years to resolve in tribunals, and employers must pay back wages accrued during the proceedings if they lose. The "semiformal" employment offered to get around strict labor laws has left many without benefits, and the prohibition on part-time employment has hurt young workers.
"Many young people and women cannot find work because of a ban on part-time employment," says César Velázquez Guadarrama, professor of public policy at the Iberoamerican University.

DADT repeal gives progressive chaplains a chance to counter evangelical clergy in the military
DAVID TAFFET | Staff Writer
When a soldier recently came to Chaplain Chris Antal, a lieutenant in the Army National Guard in New York and a Unitarian Universalist minister, and asked if he'd pray with her even though she was a pagan, he said he replied, "Of course I will, but you'll have to show me how."
Several weeks later, when he saw her again, she told him that the day she had come to visit him, she had hit rock bottom. He had, she told him, saved her life that day.
But Antal said he was only doing his job — helping any soldier who comes to him.
"I've earned the nickname, the Catch-all Chaplain," he said, explaining that it means he takes everyone the other chaplains don't want to deal with.
Being there to help a soldier in need is what it's all about for a military chaplain, said Col. Paul Dodd, a retired chaplain who now lives in Austin.
"The duty of a military chaplain is to perform or provide," said Dodd, adding that he once sponsored an Islamic conference.
Dodd said that no chaplain can perform every service needed by every member of the military. But if a chaplain can't perform the service requested, he or she must provide that soldier with a referral to someone else who can.
Antal said that chaplains who enlisted knew what they were getting into — to some extent. But none of them really expected the repeal of the military's anti-gay "don't ask, don't tell" policy. And for many, that repeal was a game changer.
In October, a group of active and retired chaplains and military personnel and other people of faith, such as the Rev. Steve Sprinkle from Brite Divinity
School in Fort Worth, met at the Interfaith Peace Chapel at Cathedral of Hope to begin looking at ways of addressing the issues that arose for military chaplains around DADT repeal.
Dave Guy Gainer said The Forum on Military Chaplaincy is not exactly new. It formed in 2005 as a project of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network and worked under the radar until DADT was repealed.
Sprinkle said people in the Pentagon, up through Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, knew about their work and considered their statements throughout the DADT repeal process.
And now, with repeal complete, the group met to "come out." At their meeting in Dallas, forum members considered ways to become an independent organization helping to ensure newly out service members receive the pastoral care they need while serving in the military.
Susan Gore, principle of The Mentor Group and editor of the book Coming Out In Faith, moderated the Dallas conference. She said the group started with several retired military officers "who wanted to push back against the far-right skew."
Sprinkle has been part of the forum for four years and said he was recruited to participate because of his work on hate crimes.
Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Sprinkle said, more and more members of the Chaplain Corps have come from just one school — Liberty
University, founded by far-right evangelical Jerry Falwell. Today, Sprinkle estimated, one-third of military chaplains come from Liberty University.
"They instituted a program that barely meets minimum requirements," he said of the evangelical school. "It's an online course."
And, Sprinkle said, Liberty University's goal is to take control of the Chaplain Corps and use the military as a pool for religious recruits.
"This is fertile ground to bring people to Jesus at taxpayer expense," said Tom Carpenter, a retired Marine captain and one of the forum's founders.
"I've heard stories of them holding the hand of someone who's dying and trying to bring them to Jesus."
And although such actions contradict military policy, no one in the corps has been disciplined or dismissed for it.
"They give chaplains a lot of leeway," Carpenter said.
Gainer said the military is looking for well-rounded ministers who bring experience with them to the military.
According to the U.S. Army Chaplain Center and School in Fort Jackson, S.C., candidates must be endorsed by their denomination or faith group and be "sensitive to religious pluralism and able to provide for the free exercise of religion by all military personnel, their family members and civilians who work for the Army."
But Sprinkle said that Liberty University is transparent about its goals, and those goals do not line up.
"They're not committed to pluralism or serving all the troops," he said.
Gainer said that the greatest opposition to repealing DADT came from the Chaplain Corps because military chaplains answer to two groups — the military and their denomination. Those chaplains that didn't adhere to a strict stance of maintaining the ban on gays and lesbians were threatened with losing their accreditation from their endorsing religious body — and with it their livelihood and their pensions.
But that contradicts the stated goals of the Chaplain Corps.
"Someone has to say, 'Either you comply and serve all the troops all the time or get out,'" Sprinkle said.
Gore said that one of the goals of the newly public forum is to "rebalance the Chaplain Corps by bringing in more mainstream faiths." She said that for many who come from more liberal traditions, questions of what's a just war make it hard to serve in the military. Antal, for example, is one of just four Unitarian Universalists in the Chaplain Corps.
During its push for repeal of DADT, members
said, the forum had several successes working behind the scenes.
Despite the assumption of confidentiality between parishioner and clergy, that wasn't always the case between gay soldier and chaplain. Dodd said that a number of discharges under DADT occurred after a soldier talked to a chaplain and the chaplain turned them in.
In fact, he wrote a white paper on the practice. After he submitted it, the military tightened up on chaplain confidentiality, Dodd said.
Carpenter, an attorney, wrote an amicus brief for the Log Cabin Republicans' lawsuit against DADT. The court found in favor of declaring DADT unconstitutional, but Congress repealed the law before the decision could be enforced.
Carpenter said that the repeal allows gays and lesbians to serve with no protection. The legal decision, had it not been vacated upon repeal, would have allowed gays and lesbians to serve equally.
Now that DADT is gone, the forum is examining how to ensure LGB personnel receive the same services as other troops from chaplains.
Dodd said that right-wing chaplains charge that allowing gays and lesbians to serve in the military will force them to act in ways that go against their beliefs. Some have said they would be required to perform same-sex weddings.
Dodd called that ridiculous. Chaplains are never asked to perform duties that go against their religious beliefs, he said.
"I turned down weddings," he said. "An officer came to me who wasn't divorced."
He said the officer tried to pull strings and force the issue, but Dodd wasn't going to discuss marrying someone who was still married to someone else.
"But we're insisting chaplains have the authority, if it's in keeping with their faith, to marry same-sex couples," he said.
Because of the Defense of Marriage Act, the repeal provides no family benefits. For some issues, Dodd and Carpenter suggested work-arounds.
Issuing ID cards would be extremely helpful, especially to same-sex couples with children, Carpenter said, noting that "That way either parent could get on base to get a child to the hospital."
In another example, joint assignments can be offered at the discretion of a commanding officer, and married couples are often assigned together when they both qualify for positions that are available at the same base. Same-sex couples could be given the same priority.
As the forum looks ahead, rebalancing the Chaplain Corps with members from a more diverse background to reflect the membership of the military is a priority.
"And we need to take care of our trans brothers and sisters," Carpenter said.
The repeal of DADT did not address any transgender issues and does not allow transgender men or women to serve in the military.
Gainer believes representatives of the forum need to sit down with far-right members of the Chaplain Corps and agree to disagree. He said that before the repeal of DADT, they talked to people at Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. While both groups testified against the repeal, they met with some success.
"The president of the VFW in Pflugerville said it was the right thing to do," Gainer said.
That dialogue, he believed, would help chaplains perform or at least provide a useful referral, rather than doing more damage to a soldier seeking help.
Gore thought that the focus of discussion should be with the majority of chaplains "who want to do a good job and are part of the moveable middle."
"We have to convince administrators and educators in divinity schools to encourage some of their best and brightest to serve," Sprinkle said. "So many schools dropped what they were doing during the Vietnam era."
Antal thinks that gays and lesbians will gain more acceptance as they tell their stories in non-confrontational settings and others see "their identity as professional service members is primary."
While the work of the forum will concentrate on helping LGB military personnel, creating a more diverse Chaplain Corps may help a majority of service members. Recent polls show that a majority of troops find the chaplaincy irrelevant.
Sprinkle called the work of the forum a gift from the LGBT community to the nation.
"You wouldn't think we'd be the ones opening the doors so that all troops will be served with dignity, integrity and respect," he said.

Undergrad music programs offer classes in music history, style and improvisation, and teach methods for improving instrumental and vocal technique. Undergraduate voice programs include courses in musical expression in live performances, which helps students develop the ability to play music comfortably under the stress of a large audience. Educational and training requirements for music directors and composers vary, although most positions require related work experience, found by submitting recordings of their compositions to bands, singers, record companies, and movie studios. Composers may promote themselves directly through online video or audio of their musical work.
Musicians and singers need extensive training and practice to acquire the skills necessary for stage performances at a professional level. There's an old saying that you need to practice a song a thousand times before you begin to really hear what's inside. The best musicians typically begin singing or learning to play either guitar or drums by taking private music lessons at a young age, but it's never too late in life to pursue music just to enjoy playing. In addition, you must practice often to develop latent talent, and keep adding fresh material throughout your musical career. Beyond consideration for Glenville State College concert series, you may think about Oglethorpe University placement tests for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Four years after scandal derailed his political career, ex-Republican Gov. Mark Sanford once again holds a South Carolina political office, winning back his old congressional seat Tuesday after a race in which he battled his past and an opponent who outdid him in fundraising.
Sanford's resurrection was completed when he defeated Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert, in a district that hasn't elected a Democratic congressman in more than three decades.
"Some guy came up to me the other day and said you look a lot like Lazarus," Sanford told a crowd of more than 100 cheering supporters at his victory celebration, referring to the man who, according to the Bible, Christ raised from the dead.
With all precincts reporting, Sanford had about 54 percent of the vote.
"I've talked a lot about grace during the course of this campaign," he said. "Until you experience human grace as a reflection of God's grace, I don't think you really get it. And I didn't get it before."
Sanford, who turns 53 later this month, has never lost a race in three runs for Congress and two for governor. And he said before the votes were counted Tuesday that if he lost this one, he wouldn't run for office again.
He saw his political career disintegrate in summer 2009, when he disappeared for five days, telling his staff he was hiking the Appalachian Trail. He returned to admit in a tearful news conference he had been in Argentina with his mistress — a woman to whom he is now engaged.
Sanford later paid a $70,000 ethics fine, the largest in state history, for using public money to fly for personal purposes. His wife and political ally, Jenny, divorced him. They have four sons.
On Tuesday, he thanked his oldest son and his fiancee, Maria Belen Chapur, who stood near him after flying from Argentina. The woman he has called his "soul mate" left immediately after his victory speech.
Sanford's 1st District, slightly reconfigured from the one he held for three terms in the 1990s, is strongly Republican and Mitt Romney took it by 18 points in last year's presidential race. Green Party candidate Eugene Platt also ran.
Three weeks before the special election, news surfaced that Sanford's ex-wife had filed a court complaint alleging he was in her house without permission in violation of their divorce decree, leading the National Republican Congressional Committee to pull its support from the campaign. Sanford must appear in court Thursday on the complaint.
Sanford said he tried to get in touch with his ex-wife and was in the house so his youngest son would not have to watch the Super Bowl alone.
The seat became vacant when U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint resigned from his Senate seat late last year. Governor Nikki Haley then appointed the sitting congressman, Tim Scott, to fill DeMint's seat.
"We put up a heck of a fight, didn't we?" Colbert Busch told a crowd of supporters at a hotel in Charleston, across the Cooper River from where Sanford met his supporters. "The people have spoken, and I respect their decision."
Colbert Busch had said after she voted that she felt positive and encouraged. But in the end, Sanford took the race despite his tainted past being an issue for some voters.
Gabriel Guillard, 49, a massage therapist and teacher, said she liked Colbert Busch but would have voted for anyone but Sanford.
"I would do anything to make sure Mark Sanford doesn't get back in because of his past behavior," she said. "And I am so tired of South Carolina being a laughingstock. I'm so sick of it."
Others didn't let the past dictate. Marion Doar, 79 and retired from careers in the military and business, said he voted for Sanford.
"Sanford was a fine fellow," he said. "He still is a fine fellow. Following his heart as he did was foolish but it happens."
Sanford already has survived a 16-way GOP primary with several sitting state lawmakers and Teddy Turner, the son of media magnate Ted Turner. He also won the primary runoff. Colbert Busch defeated perennial candidate Ben Frasier with 96 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary.
Colbert Busch, 58, picked up the endorsement of The Post and Courier over the weekend. The Charleston newspaper called her "a welcome tonic" for those who suffer from "Sanford Fatigue — a malady caused by overexposure to all of the cringe-worthy details of his 2009 disgrace as governor, his ongoing efforts for redemption via the political process, his resurgent personal problems, etc."
Sanford, despite losing national GOP support, picked up the endorsement of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a tea party favorite who is well-known in the district.
