A REFUGE FOR ORANGUTANS PRESENTS A QUANDARY FOR ENVIRONMENTALISTS
"Isolated acts of kindness by bad actors like PT Sawit Sumbermas Sarana (a major Indonesian palm oil company) don't erase that history and current pattern of destructive behavior, and they won't save the Borneo orangutan from destruction."
Baby steps are important. The next step is much bigger. Decrease and then ultimately cease destroying natural habitat. Figure it out. Keep their human feet to the human fire.

BUILDING A CULTURE OF RECONCILIATION, 2 DECADES AFTER RWANDA'S GENOCIDE
"In 1994, Ms. Mukamana was 17. Her father, six brothers, five sisters and nine uncles were killed that April. She fled to Burundi. When she returned, her family home was destroyed.
Mr. Sendegeya was among the group that killed her father and four other members of her family, a fact that both speak about frankly but without much detail.
'He confessed and asked for forgiveness. He told me the truth,' Ms. Mukamana explained. 'We forgave him from our hearts. There is no problem between us.'"
Speechless.

PRESIDENT TAKES FORCEFUL TONE AT HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL
"'Those who deny the Holocaust are complicit in it,' the president said."
Your grandchildren are Jewish. Why is your "Chief Strategist" a jew-hater?

LIFTING KIDS TO COLLEGE
"When Sierra Williams was in the sixth grade, teachers spotted her potential and enrolled her in the Neighborhood Academic Initiative, or N.A.I., a program through which U.S.C. prepares underprivileged kids who live relatively near its South Los Angeles campus for higher education.
Sierra, 20, just finished her junior year at U.S.. An engineering major, she's already enrolled in a master's program. 'My end goal is to get my Ph.D.,' she told me when I met her recently."
Good luck, Sierra. The entire world is rooting for you. Well, maybe not the ones who are pushing for a 15% corporate tax rate -- but most of us are!

11 PLAINTIFFS MAKE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT FOX NEWS
"'When it comes to racial discrimination, 21st Century Fox has been operating as if it should be called 18th Century Fox,' the plaintiffs' lawyers said."

POLICE BLAME PASSENGER DRAGGED FROM UNITED JET
"'[T]he subject started swinging his arms up and down fast and violently.'"
Imagine it is you. You got to the airport three hours early and went through the TSA torture and now you are in your seat, ready to make it to your daughter's wedding with a few hours to spare.
Do you not think you might instinctually flail your arms around a bit in frustration?
Shame on you, United and aggressive Chicago cops.

JEB BUSH AND JETER SAID TO BID FOR MARLINS
"The Marlins have not reached the postseason since their 2003 championship, and their current playoff drought is the longest in the National League."
Jeter always did like a challenge.
Two unsolicited pieces of advice for Derek:
- No more 13-year, $325 million deals like Stanton's, a .267 career hitter. (Okay, he does average nearly 30 HRs a season. But will that hold up in the last few years of this long long-term contract?)
- Remember, kid -- no DH!
FOOD D1
"Practice the wrist wag to get used to the way the salt falls from your hands; experience the illicit thrill of using so much of something we've all been taught to fear."
This recipe looks yummy and easy (3 ingredients):
