It's not enough that Ryan Murphy and the gang over at American Horror Story have been sadistically torturing out actress, who's also playing a lesbian, Sarah Paulson week after week in the name of edginess in an over-the-top package of faux sensitivity and meta hyper-awareness of the treatment of women, specifically gay women, in the 60s. Now, Murphy, a gay man, and the rest of Glee staff, pretty much bid a fond fuck you to Glee's lesbian fan base with a self-reflexive screed from his bisexual character Brittany (Heather Morris), who's recently been dumped by out lesbian Santana (Naya Rivera) and who is contemplating a relationship with Sam (Chord Overstreet).
The writers at Glee clearly anticipated a maelstrom of hate mail over the show's bisexual character dating a boy – and let's face it, there are likely disappointed Brittany and Santana fans of every ilk out there – and they attempted to circumvent it by using Brittany as a mouthpiece to warn lesbian fans of how they'll be perceived as one big unidentifiable mass of angry dykes should they fail to get on board with Brittany's new relationship.
Here's some set up to the offending speech that follows. Sam lures Brittany into the choir room so he can tell her that he's had a thing for her since forever and that he wants to sing a love song with her --we'll just try to overlook the sudden randomness of the storyline for now. The pair croons a perfectly sweet rendition of "Something Stupid" and Sam attempts to kiss Brittany when it's over, but alas, she protests. But she doth protest too much not because it's "too soon" after Santana, or because she and Sam are such great friends that a relationship would ruin things. No. She protests because she fears for his safety, because an acknowledgement of dating him would incite the ire of all of those angry lesbos out there who're still faithful fans enough to watch the mess that is Glee season 4. But don't let me tell you. Here it is.
"I like you too much to put you in danger," Brittany says. "All the lesbians of the nation—and I don't know how they found out about Santana and I dating -- but once they did they started sending me Tweets and Facebook messages on Lord Tubbington's wall. I think it means a lot to them to see two, super hot popular girls in love."
Did that grab your attention a little? Well, here's the really shitty part.
"And I'm worried that if they found out about you and I dating they they'd turn on you and get really violent and hurt your beautiful face and mouth," Brittany adds.
"I'm not scared of them," Sam replies, and attempts to kiss her again.
Like Ilene Chaiken before him who once said, via her The L Word character Alice that "Lesbians eat their own," Ryan Murphy and his scribes have employed ridiculous intellectual hubris and superiority to send a message to lesbian fans that they had better not get too uppity or they'll be called out on national television as the implacable, man-hating losers that they are. At least that's how I'm perceiving Brittany's speech. And sure, I fully expect to be eviscerated as one of those implacable, man-hating losers but I just don't see it any other way.
Part of Glee's appeal was built on its characters employing a bully pulpit with each other to illuminate stereotypes and character flaws of the bully – Jane Lynch's acerbic Sue Sylvester being one and Rivera's Santana being another – but this thinly veiled warning to the loyal lesbian fans who loved seeing two "popular" girls together is just hateful and unnecessary. Murphy, who seems set on fulfilling the old stereotype of the lesbian-hating gay man, must surely, on some level, understand the impact that positive representation of queer characters has on its viewers, particularly its young viewers -- gay and straight. This is, after all, the man who launched an antibullying storyline on this same show that revolved around one of its gay male characters Kurt (Chris Colfer).
more on next page...
For invested fans of any couple or storyline there are bound to be people who are disappointed with a break-up, and yes, it is nice to see representation in happy, and even popular, couples. But Murphy and the gang missed the real point with their trigger-happy anticipation of lesbian outrage. Lesbian fans of Grey's Anatomy stood by Shonda Rhimes and the Callie / Arizona / Mark triangle because it was a thoughtful and sincere story that didn't thumb its nose at Calzona shippers. And fans of Pretty Little Liars' lady-killer Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell) watched and waited while Emily flirted with possible attraction to a male character this season because her search was plausible and real. Guaranteed, lesbian fans would have come to love a Brittany and Sam (Bram) coupling if the storyline were thoughtful, heartfelt and true and best for the characters but Glee's writers, who must surely have a collective God complex, couldn't allow the narrative of the response to happen organically.
The writing team at Glee couldn't wait for the story to unfold before issuing a reprimand to lesbian viewers most certainly creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. While a Brittany and Sam coupling could have unfolded with little incident were it told sincerely and well Glee's fuck you of a rebuke to its lesbian fans was hateful, cynical and unforgivable.
But it's easy to understand Murphy's need to control. He was taken to task years ago for a couple of half-assed lesbian storylines on Nip/Tuck, and rather dig deep to see if he was telling those stories with truth, sincerity and plausibility, even in the wacky world of Nip/Tuck, he turned his paranoia outward to use a beloved character to villify the entire lesbian community as "violent" when faced with a boy/girl romance for a bisexual couple.
Last year when a fan Tweeted at Grey's showrunner Shonda Rhimes that she was pandering to the gay community Rhimes replied, "Isn't love universal? Isn't that the point? That you can watch a straight couple in love or a lesbian couple in love and what you see and feel is the LOVE? How is that pandering? Maybe I've been pandering to straight couples all this time."
Pretty Little Liars showrunner Marlene King once told AfterEllen in an interview that she was "honored and proud" to bring Emily's storyline to life to help others "know that they aren't alone."
With showrunners like Rhimes and King who're supportive of their lesbian fans, who needs the bitter old crumbs that Murphy tosses to the lesbian community?

By Paulist Father Tom Holahan
One in a series
ROME — The recent announcement that the Vatican will allow Anglicans to continue their "traditional spiritual practices" in the Catholic Church has started people thinking: Catholicism now has a formal way to accommodate a married priesthood for a very specific group of people. What more might unfold? Whatever the long-term outcome, this announcement is a milestone in the Year for Priests.
It's no coincidence that next year's beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman, Gordon Brown's invitation to the pope to visit Britain and easing the journey to Rome for interested Anglicans have all come about together. Work in many departments of the Vatican has converged, setting the stage for a spectacular new era in ecumenism.
On the far horizon is the speculation that Cardinal Newman could be named a doctor of the church, underscoring his contributions to "development of doctrine" and conscience. Whether Europe is ready or not, plans for its re-evangelization are on track.
Rome, in its way, is a 500-year-old evangelization machine. The buildings and art created as a response to the Protestant critique still call to people who are searching and create a mood of reflection. Just before I arrived in Rome, I met an industrial psychologist who was a Christian but now follows a Native American practice. He told me that, when he went to the Vatican, sunbeams from the dome of the church hit Michelangelo's Pieta and brought tears to his eyes.
A week ago I heard from two nuns, dressed in habits, who were stopped on the street by a Japanese tourist. She wanted to know, could they possibly spare a few moments to explain Christianity to her? Yesterday a Syrian found his way to our English-speaking church (he knew no Italian) asking the same question. He told me he had no particular faith, but he had been impressed with the Syrian Orthodox while in his own country and now, before he had to leave the country because of a document problem, he wanted to find out more. He asked his questions urgently, "And, so, Jesus was the Son of God?" "He promised eternal life?" Searching Americans approach the faith issue differently. One recently told me he "gave up on God" when the Supreme Being did not cure his depression and taking a little pill did. I said there may come a time when something can't be fixed, then what?
Rome Diary
Oct 3 – A wedding in a secret chapel of the Pantheon brings me within range of the seventh-century icon that is preserved there. The dark, rough plank has the serene Mary holding, with both hands, a child who looks out upon the world with wonder and apprehension. Later icon painters would have to follow strict rules on portrayal but here the artist was free to express exactly what came from his heart. The image has survived so much danger and destruction — what better image to have before two people ready to put their lives in each others' care? When emperor Phocas agreed to give the church ownership of the Pantheon (609) it was a way both of saving the most complete remnant of the Roman Empire and also a dramatic statement of Christian triumph – the building formerly dedicated to the gods would now be dedicated to Mary and the Christian martyrs. As I leave, the sacristan reminds me it is the 1,400th anniversary of the Pantheon as a church and the pope has offered a plenary indulgence to all who attend Mass here during the month of October. The building is so old and well-loved, this seems the perfect anniversary gift – complete forgiveness of punishment for past sins.
Oct. 3 – Today at school the second grade is learning about the Eucharist. Some of them are, that is. The Muslim children are out of the room at another activity, except for one boy who carefully explains to me that he does not have to answer any of my questions because he is Muslim. My lesson is based on a picture of the sanctuary. I point to something and ask the class what it is. I go through one or two things and on my third question the Muslim boy can stand it no longer. "That's the tabernacle!" he declares. And he is right.
Oct 8 — It's been almost a year since a group of pilgrims from Sardinia visited the Church of Santa Susanna. This devotion goes back to the time when slaves of Susanna's household fled to Sardinia to find a new life as workers in the island's silver and salt mines. Today a group arrives from Torre Santa Susanna (near modern Brindisi), the town where the freedmen and guards of the same household took refuge 1,700 years ago. Sometimes, young Susanna seems an insignificant saint among the city's so many other accomplished luminaries. These pilgrims bring me back to the fervor of unwavering devotion as I recall that our Sardinian visitors had even sung a hymn to Santa Susanna handed down to them over the centuries.
Father Thomas J. Holahan, CSP, was ordained for the Paulist Fathers in 1977. Since 2006 he has served as vice-rector at the Church of Santa Susanna in Rome. This church was designated for Americans in Rome by the Vatican in 1922. He is also chaplain to Marymount International School. Previously, he has worked in campus ministry at the University of Colorado (Boulder), the University of California (Berkeley) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has also served as communications director for the dioceses of Austin, Texas, and Columbus, Ohio.

Better than your average November
Yesterday was generally dry and warmer than normal. The biggest issue for some near Puget Sound was that the fog held around in some areas into the afternoon. Other places cleared out by noon and climbed into the upper 50s. Take a look at the graph of our temperatures versus the normal highs and lows (light red..normal highs, light blue...normal lows). Over the past few weeks the low temperatures have been consistently above normal...some days more than 5F higher than usual. And a number of days have had maxima well above the usual. The plants know about this....at my house annuals are not dying off and some of the bushes are still growing.
Today and tomorrow should continue this trend and the next major system will not come in until Thursday am--a very wet front. Another system passes through on Friday and could bring strong winds. Amazingly, it looks like another unseasonably nice weekend...and we are now getting towards the stormiest period of the entire year. The key issue for us is the persistence of a ridge of high pressure aloft over the western U.S.---how long this will keep up, I can't tell you.

A large presence of law enforcement vehicles. A Panda Parade is often observed on the news when a feckless individual decides that he can evade the police after commission of a crime. This event was popularized by OJ Simpson in 1995 with a slow-speed chase and has subsequently been imitated by many unimaginative and/or inept law breakers.
I switched channels to a rerun of Leave It to Beaver because every major channel on TV was airing the latest Panda Parade.

During the 2012 season, the Lions took issue with receiver Calvin Johnson's contention that he had suffered a concussion and nerve damage. Johnson has now given the team another reason to be nervous.
According to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News, Johnson has confirmed that he played with three broken fingers during the 2012 season. Johnson said surgery won't be needed, and that he's trying to straighten them out. (Torry Holt and Brian Baldinger think that's cute.)
In February, McCosky reported that Johnson had played with at least two broken fingers. At the Scouting Combine, coach Jim Schwartz declined to comment.
"I am not going to comment on any of our players' health," Schwartz said at the time. "But that's not uncommon for a wide receiver. . . . We don't have any injury reports this time of year. And you know how I am about injuries."
Yes, we know. Because we've looked at the Lions' injuries reports for every game of the 2012 season, and there's nothing about broken fingers. Twice — in Week 13 and Week 15 — Johnson is listed with a "thumb" injury. Presumably, three broken fingers would result in a different description, and it would show up more than twice, in non-consecutive weeks.
It's the kind of development that should have folks like Ravens coach John Harbaugh calling the league office and complaining. Harbaugh's team was fined $20,000 last year for failing to disclose an Ed Reed shoulder injury. The Lions apparently failed to disclose Johnson's broken fingers.
This gets back to something we mention about from time to time. If the rules aren't going to be enforced consistently, the NFL needs to change the rules, and enforce those rules consistently.
Regardless, the broken fingers make Johnson's accomplishments from last season even more impressive. And they finally give the Maddencursers something tangible to which they can point and exclaim, "A-ha!"
UPDATE 1:53 p.m.: A source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that Johnson did not actually break any fingers.

With over 25 years experience in designing and manufacturing precision wafer bonding equipment, EVG wafer bonding systems are well recognized in setting industry standards for the MEMS production industry. Besides supporting wafer level and advanced packaging, 3D interconnects and MEMS fabrication, the EVG500 series wafer bonding systems can be configured for R&D, pilot-line or volume production.
Permanent Wafer Bonding: The introduction of EVG's wafer-bonding approach, which separates the bond alignment from the bonding step, immediately revolutionized the market. Utilizing high-contact forces under elevated temperatures and a controlled atmosphere, this novel approach is today's process standard, with EVG holding the dominant market share for both semi- and fully automated wafer bonders and a growing installed base of more than 500 chambers. EVG's wafer bonders offer manufacturers manifold benefits, including optimal total cost of ownership (TCO), as well as a real wafer-wedge compensation unit to maximize the bonding yield. Its bond alignment systems, such as the SmartView Aligner, can be integrated into a fully automated GEMINI production wafer bonder, which can support sub-micron alignment accuracies even with non-infrared (IR) transparent wafers. As it did with MEMS manufacturing, the company is now leveraging its technology strengths to accelerate the success of 3D wafer stacking. In support of this technology transfer, EVG developed chip-to-wafer bonding tools for high-yield heterogeneous 3D integration schemes and was the first to market with 300mm wafer bonders.Temporary Wafer Bonding: Building on its success in permanent wafer bonding, EVG introduced automated, temporary bonding and debonding technology to address compound semiconductor and 3D IC manufacturers' immediate need for high-yield processing of ultra-thin and fragile wafers. The EVG technology temporarily mounts a wafer onto a carrier by applying thermal or UV-release intermediates (e.g., spin-on polymers, waxes, resists and dry-film laminates), providing manufacturers with several key benefits. These include optimal design-process flexibility, high yield (via the rigid carrier support), ease of integration into an existing fabrication infrastructure, and a highly reliable debonding step following complete front and backside processing.

Listened to this interesting guest, Mitch Feierstein, on SGTreport today. Just seemed very good to me.

Mitch Feierstein returns to SGT report with an urgent warning, get ready for the free fall collapse. We are in a euphoric bubble blow off top, Mitch says. "I've been talking about the Swiss national bank intervening in the equities markets along with the European central bank buying corporate bonds, which allows companies to buy their stocks back, which pushes the markets even higher, inflating the bubbles. it's a bubble machine. How could anything go wrong in an environment like this when you have unlimited money printing going on? Bad things happen when you print money."
Thanks for so much for tuning in. Here's the link to the SD Bullion silver at spot offer:

Central Banks An EXPLOSION Heard Round The World
Mitchell Feierstein, the author of Planet Ponzi and proprietor of PlanetPonzi.com kindly submitted this original article exclusively for SGT Report readers.
by Mitchell Feierstein, PlanetPonzi.com, via SGT Report:
Why global central bankers great monetary experiment is about to explode.
During the past ten years, we have witnessed unprecedented manipulation of stock, bond, and property prices by global central banks. The inflation of these grotesque asset bubbles will not end well as indicators in the USA point towards an economic recession. SNIP
I like the host of SGTreport but I noticed what I perceive as one tragic flaw in this show. When explaining what happened to Building 7 on 9-11 he referenced an article by Kevin Ryan who promotes the false notion of "explosive nanothermite", Dr. Steven Jones' nonsense theory.

The Conservatory Theatre Company kicks off its 2010-2011 season with the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie, with a cast of 28 student performers.
Point Park University's Conservatory Theatre Company kicks off its 2010–2011 season with Thoroughly Modern Millie, winner of six Tony Awards.
It's 1922 and Millie Dillmount certainly isn't in Kansas anymore. Perhaps the first feminist musical ever, Thoroughly Modern Millie is the high-spirited tale of a young ingenue's arrival in New York City. She comes of age as the flapper era does, when she discovers a big city full of intrigue, jazz and a society that's rules of love and behavior are in the midst of a dramatic change. Forever. With a bouncy score, this quintessential Tony Award-winning musical will have you tapping along long after Millie's story is told.
"It has something for everyone," said Jessica Ernest. Ernest, a senior musical theatre major, plays the role of Millie. "Music, dance, comedy, danger - a little something everyone will enjoy."
For Ernest, one of the most important aspects of the character is the journey Millie goes on as she learns to trust and accept herself. Millie came to the city with preconceived notions that she has to re-evaluate and experience emotions she wasn't expecting.
"I just love being this character," she said. "Lots of people can relate to Millie because she's open and willing to accept that she might be wrong."
Another thing that Ernest loves about this show is the learning process of working on a production. The styles and methods she uses in rehearsal reinforce her lessons in class.
"I know I'm going to learn about the show and my character, but also about acting in general," she said.
Thoroughly Modern Millie is directed by Scott Wise, assistant-directed and choreographed by Jeremy Czarniak and music-directed by Doug Levine. They lead a cast of 28 student performers.
Thoroughly Modern Millie opens Friday, Oct. 29 and runs through Sunday, Nov. 7. For more information, visit www.pittsburghplayhouse.com.

It all starts with the soil. Whether you're gardening 10 sq ft or farming thousands of acres, smart growers know that soil tests pay for themselves with the increased productivity and targeted fertilizing made possible by a specific diagnosis of the soil's strengths and weaknesses. Many years of soil audits on hundreds of different soils across the country have given us the expertise to develop a unique soil analysis package, appropriate for all sizes of farms and gardens.
With your soil test results we provide our booklet "Understanding Your Soil Analysis Report" that provides the information you'll need to address your soil's needs organically. It is a practical, condensed education in soil fertility and field-proven organic techniques for achieving it. The booklet explains the readings given on the lab test and includes organic recommendations to remedy any levels of deficiency.
To order, just request our soil test information and you will receive a soil test bag with instructions for taking your soil sample. Return your sample, with payment enclosed.
Within two weeks, we will send you your Soil Analysis Report which includes lab readings for organic matter, nitrate-nitrogen, 2 types of extractable phosphorus, exchangeable potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium, soil pH, cation exchange capacity, % of saturation by major cations, sulfate-sulfur, zinc, soluble salts, excess lime and electrical conductivity.
If all these terms confuse you, don't worry! The booklet will explain everything. In fact, it is so comprehensive that you will be able to use it to interpret all your future soil tests. Please note that our information applies only to the levels found using this lab's analyzing process. Readings can vary greatly from lab to lab, depending on their methods and procedures.

Glitter lips - Diamond in the Buff
Crimson Catz are official stockists of Beauty Boulevard's fabulous GLITTER LIPS range of products.
This brand new, innovative product will revolutionise lip colour as you know it. With an unbelievable staying power – one application can last up to 8 hours – you will be bowled over by its colour, shine and durability. The entire GLITTER LIPS range is waterproof and smudge proof. It can even last through an entire 3 course meal without the need to re-apply.
You can drink, eat and generally party without losing any of your sparkle. GLITTER LIPS has more staying power than any other lipstick on the market currently. Don't believe it, try it for yourself. You won't be disappointed. Oh, and by the way, prepare for an enormous amount of attention when you wear a GLITTER LIPS shade…… you have been warned!
We've tried and tested 'Glitter Lips' and although the application is supposed to last up to eight hours, the colours lasted beyond 8 hours...we LOVE it!
Application techniques
1) Apply the gloss bond to clean, dry lips, (one at a time) carefully following the lip line. Keep lips parted and allow the gloss to turn from white to clear.
2) Slightly dampen the pad end of the brush with water, squeezing out any excess, Using the pad, dab the glitter over the gloss, ensuring an even coating. Check for any sticky patches by gently patting with your finger over the glitter and apply and apply more glitter to those areas should it be required.
3) Using the brush end of applicator, dust off the excess glitter and you're ready to go.
Removal techniques
To remove glitter lips, we recommend using an oil based make-up remover as it is kinder to the lips, Soak a cotton disc in the remover and press this onto the lips and hold for 30 seconds, this allows the oil to penetrate the glitter and gloss bond, then gently rub in a circular motion for easy removal.
You can also use baby wipes, but this requires a lot of rubbing and may irritate the lips. Moisturise lips well afterwards. In fact, why not buy our vegan and animal cruelty free approved Crimson Catz Lip shield, number 8? It works as a superb intense natural lip moisturiser.
Although the gloss bond is water based, we do recommend a skin allergy test be carried out 24hrs prior to use. Excessive use can cause dry lips, not for consumption, not to be used on cracked or sore skin. This product can be used on children aged 3+ but must be applied by an adult. When storing Glitter Lips, please ensure it is kept out of reach of children. Store in a cool dry area and away from direct sunlight.
Warning: Discontinue use if skin irritation develops or increases. If irritation persists, consult a health care practitioner.

First Intel Xeon Phi-based supercomputer to launch 7 January
On 7 January 2013, the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas in Austin will deploy the Stampede supercomputer, which is the first large-scale deployment of Intel's Many Integrated Core (MIC) technology in the world.
Stampede is the result of a $51.5 million grant from the US National Science Foundation (NSF), and is intended to support the nation's scientists in addressing the most challenging scientific and engineering problems over four years.
The new system, built by TACC in partnership with Dell, Intel and Mellanox, will have a peak performance of more than 2 petaflops from the base cluster of Intel Xeon processors and more than 7 petaflops from the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors (based on the MIC architecture).
Altogether, Stampede will have a peak performance of 10 petaflops, 272 terabytes of memory, and 14 petabytes of disk storage. It will therefore be the most powerful system in the NSF's eXtreme Digital programme and the seventh most powerful supercomputer in the world.
At the Dell World conference in Austin last week, Techworld was given a tour of Stampede as it was prepared for deployment at TACC. First impressions are, it's very big, very loud, very windy, and you can almost feel the power when you walk into the room.
When completed, Stampede will comprise 6,400 Dell PowerEdge C8220X "Zeus" servers, with each server having dual 8-core processors from the Intel Xeon processor E5 family and at least one Intel Xeon Phi processor (in some cases two).
Additionally, Stampede will offer 128 next-generation NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) for remote visualisation, 16 Dell servers with 1 terabyte of shared memory and 2 GPUs each for large data analysis, and a high-performance Lustre file system for data-intensive computing.
"Computers have become the most important general purpose instrument of science. The computational techniques complement theory and observation in every field of science and the percentage of research that's using computing continues to grow," said TACC Director Jay Boisseau.
"In fact, the percentage of research that uses supercomputing as a competitive advantage as well as a scientific capability continues to grow."
He added that, as long as the universe is governed by fundamental equations, the IT industry will be helping scientists predict what will happen in various scenarios and various physical processes through modelling and simulation.

Fox News is doing its best to help Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican Party's nominee for the U.S. Senate in Missouri, recover from the growing firestorm over his statement that it is "really rare" for women subjected to "legitimate rape" to become pregnant. As analysts predict that Akin's remark could put a winnable seat for the GOP at risk, the network is trying to downplay the comments.
In their first and as of yet only report on the comments, America's Newsroom anchor Martha MacCallum neither played Akin's comment nor read it, describing it only as "what he said about 'legitimate rape'" and adding that he "had to do some serious correction on that comment over the weekend." Viewers unfamiliar with the story would have absolutely no idea what Akin had said.
MacCallum did not give Akin's remark its own segment, but rather highlighted it along with a Politico article about a GOP congressman skinny-dipping in the Sea of Galilee. She also framed the discussion as a media analysis story, noting that the two topics are "getting a lot of attention around some of the other media outlets" and asking "how significant" the stories are and whether "they deserve the attention they are getting."
Indeed, both CNN and MSNBC have devoted multiple segments to the controversy this morning, in most instances airing Akin's comments in full.
As MacCallum referenced Akin, Fox suggested that the discussion over the comments is illegitimate, airing the caption, "Will the media seize on Rep Akin's (R-MO) comments & GOP 2011 behavior in Israel?"
Notably, Fox political analyst Karl Rove, to whom MacCallum turned for analysis on Akin's remarks, has founded organizations that have spent more than $5 million to win the Missouri Senate seat for Republicans.*
From this morning's America's Newsroom:
According to Politico, Crossroads has pulled its ads from the Missouri Senate race following the controversy over Akin's comments:
The group had originally booked a new round of ads to start Wednesday but began canceling them earlier today. The decision comes in the wake of comments by Missouri Rep. and GOP Senate nominee Todd Akin questioning how often women can get pregnant from "legitimate rape."
Contacted about the decision to withdraw its resources from Missouri, Crossroads spokesman Nate Hodson responded: "The act speaks for itself."
* As originally written, this post undercounted the amount of money Rove's groups had invested in Missouri. It has since been updated.

Coroner says 5 deaths in Pa. cabin were caused by improperly vented heater following party
ELIMSPORT, Pa. – The deaths of two adults and three children in a small cabin in north-central Pennsylvania were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning caused by an improperly ventilated propane heater, a coroner said Sunday.
State police continued interviewing people about the tragedy, which followed a Friday night party that investigators said was attended by five or six adult friends.
The man who hosted the party, identified only as a relative of the cabin's owner, discovered the bodies Saturday. He had slept in his truck outside the cabin, police said.
The adult victims were identified as Jacqueline R. Stackhouse, 23, of New Columbia, and Nathan L. Reece, 30, of Muncy. The child victims were Stackhouse's 3-year-old son and two girls, ages 9 and 4. The relationships among the victims remained unclear Sunday.
Trooper Angela Bieber, who is leading the investigation, said there was no indication the victims tried to escape and that all five apparently died in their sleep.
Lycoming County Coroner Chuck Kiessling said both of the adult victims had consumed alcohol, but that blood-alcohol tests were inconclusive. He said he ordered further toxicology tests, which could take several weeks to analyze.
Kiessling said the mother of the two girls left the 10-by-16-foot cabin with another woman at around 5 a.m. Saturday, before the tragedy was discovered.
State police were alerted by a 911 emergency call at 11:48 a.m. Saturday, said Bieber, who declined to discuss the girls' mother.
"It's just a tragic situation," Kiessling said. "It certainly would have been better if she'd taken the children with her. At this point, we don't believe there are any criminal charges to be filed."
