Right-Wing Christian Group Tried to Convert This City's Kids — But They're Fighting Back
"Child Evangelism Fellowship® is a Bible-centered worldwide organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living."
One of their key tools is an after-school program called the Good News Club, which takes place in public grade schools across the country. Good News Clubs mix snacks, games, art projects and stories with upbeat moral lessons and the theology of blood sacrifice.

Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion (Point of Inquiry)
Richard Dawkins, considered one of the world’s most influential
scientists, is the first holder of the Charles Simonyi professorship of
the public understanding of science at Oxford University and the
recipient of a number of awards for his writings and for his science,
including the International Cosmos Prize, the Kistler Prize, and the
Shakespeare Prize. He is also a fellow of the Royal Society. In a recent
poll in the United Kingdom, he was named Britain’s leading public
intellectual. He is the author of a number of critically acclaimed
books, such as The Selfish Gene, The Blind Watchmaker, Unweaving the Rainbow, The Devil’s Chaplain, and The Ancestor’s Tale.
The New York Times Book Review has hailed him as a writer who
“understands the issues so clearly that he forces his reader to
understand them too.”
In this discussion with D.J. Grothe, Dawkins talks about his new best-selling book, The God Delusion, addressing challenges from his critics to his assertion that it is very unlikely that there is a God, and that religion is a form of child abuse, among other topics. He also addresses the question of whether science and religion are really at war.

Week In The News: Iraq Shakes, SCOTUS Rules, US Advances In World Cup (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)
Iraq still crumbles this week. No bottom yet to the crisis. And
President Obama now asking for half a billion dollars in aid to

searches. On abortion protest. On recess appointments. John Boehner

Mississippi. The US takes a World Cup loss – and still wins! This hour

The Rise of the DIY Abortion in Texas
A pill that revolutionized reproductive rights in Latin
America is now gaining ground on the black market in South Texas.
The Dirty Politics Behind The Supremes Decision To Limit Recess Appointments
"In a rebuke to President Barack Obama, the Supreme Court struck down three of his recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board as unconstitutional.
The decision Thursday gives the Senate broad power to thwart future recess appointments, but did not go as far as some conservatives hoped to undercut the president's ability to fill vacant executive branch posts and judicial slots.
The court ruled 9-0 that Obama's appointments were unconstitutional because the Senate was not truly in recess when he made them during a three-day break in pro forma meetings of the legislative body."

Supreme Court's Shameful Hypocrisy On Abortion Clinic Buffer Zones
"The Supreme Court ruled on McCullen v. Coakley Thursday, striking down a Massachusetts law requiring protesters to stay at least 35 feet from an abortion clinic's entrance and walkways.
In a unanimous opinion, the court held that such buffer zones violate First Amendment free speech rights.
Chief Justice Roberts delivered the opinion of the court. "It is no accident that public streets and sidewalks have developed as venues for the exchange of ideas," Roberts said. "Even today, they remain one of the few places where a speaker can be confident that he is not simply preaching to the choir. With respect to other means of communication, an individual confronted with an uncomfortable message can always turn the page, change the channel, or leave the Web site.""

Evolutionary biologists shocked by what they discover about the electric eel
Researchers
on Thursday unveiled a genetic blueprint of the electric eel — a
fearsome denizen of South America that can zap you with an electric
field of up to 600 volts — as well as detailed genetic data on two other
types of electric fish. Even though six groups of electric fish have
evolved independently in far-flung locales like the muddy waters of the
Amazon and murky marine environments, they all seem to have reached into
the same "genetic toolbox"...

Grief Beyond Belief Now Has a Website
Founded by school counselor Rebecca Hensler following the death of
her son, Grief Beyond Belief has been operating on Facebook for three
years, providing grieving atheists, Humanists and other Freethinkers
with spaces in which to share compassion and advice without the
uncomfortable intrusions of prayer and proselytizing. From the page’s
much-welcomed launch on Facebook in June 2011, to its surprising growth
following glowing coverage in USA Today in Spring of 2012,
to its expansion to a confidential Facebook support group the following
fall, the community has continued to serve the growing secular
population’s need for grief-support appropriate for those who do not
believe in a higher power or an afterlife.

Use reverse security questions to avoid scams
"I just got a call from someone claiming to work at my bank, She was
offering to send me a new credit card with a great reward program but
before she could run my credit, she wanted to know my mother’s maiden
name. She was taken aback when I asked her to first verify specific line
items from my bank transactions. I told her I'm not about to give you
my personal info based on a single cold-call. If you are really who you
say you are, you can tell me the date/amount of my last electric bill
and the auto-insurance bill.
She said I was the only customer to make her answer security questions in the last 6 weeks she has been doing this. She did answer them correctly and also confirmed some other things (related to the physical bank location she claimed to be at) that she wouldn't know if she was a scammer.
While this one was a legit call, I have had people hang up on me in the past as soon as I asked them to verify something specific from my account / history. I have had smart friends fall for very sophisticated scams because the caller knew their address and last 4 of their social. My advice has been to (1) make them answer specific questions that only the right people will have and if still suspicious (2) tell them to make a note on my account (with their name/extension) that I will call back immediately and then I find the 1-800# from Google and ask the agent to transfer me back to whoever called me..."

Rand Paul Pisses Off The Wrong Dick Cheney - Meow!
"Former vice president Dick Cheney sought Sunday to draw a sharp distinction between his position on Iraq and Sen. Rand Paul's, marking the latest fight over foreign policy in a Republican Party torn between military hawks and those who are far less keen on intervening abroad.
Appearing on a pair of Sunday morning news shows, Paul (Ky.) argued that turmoil in the Middle East is at least partly the result of U.S. involvement in Iraq and Syria. Cheney, a leading advocate of military action in Iraq during the presidency of George W. Bush, hit back sharply against Paul's warnings about too much U.S. military action overseas."
