Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) was quick to point out that the Bush name carries the baggage of the Iraq war which the congressman called, “a complete debacle.” [...] “When George W. Bush left office, Iraq was safe and peaceful,” Kristol lectured Ellison. “Thanks to the surge..” at which point Ellison cut Kristol off, shaking his head and saying, “Nah, nah. There was always rumblings and dangers in that place.”

Dr. John C. Willke, an obstetrician who helped establish the modern anti-abortion movement—and whose idea that rape victims could resist conception was widely challenged—died on Friday at his home in Cincinnati. He was 89. [...] Several experts said there was no reliable data to support Dr. Willke’s claim. In 2012, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said the assertion “contradicts basic biological truths.”

A Catholic priest in Northern Ireland warned that those who enjoy yoga and Indian head massages are taking risks with their "spiritual health"—opening themselves up to "Satan and The Fallen Angels".
Over the last century, the oceans have become about 30 percent more acidic, a faster rate of change than at anytime in the last 300 million years. That's really bad news for any sea creatures that live in hard shells (shellfish) or have bony exoskeletons (i.e., crabs and lobsters), and for coral. Fish larvae and plankton can also be affected. And since many of these organisms are food for bigger fish and mammals, ocean acidification puts the whole marine ecosystem at risk. Of course, humans depend on these critters as well, especially in coastal communities whose economies are deeply tied to the fishing industry. In the last few years, the threat to oyster harvests in the Pacific Northwest has been well documented. But every bit of the US coastline bears some level of risk, according to a new report in Nature. The study offers the first comprehensive projection of which parts of the US coast will be worst off, and when ocean acidification could reach dangerous levels there.
