Despite knowing Clint Massie was abusing girls for years, church leaders never reported him to police.
It felt like “a group of people who are not just trying to protect someone — but something,” the DA said. “They have enabled something awful here.”

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.
The policy similarly downgrades the classification of nooses and the Confederate flag, though display of the latter remains banned.

I'm very curious if you track anything clinical about your health: blood pressure, heart rate, peak flows, blood sugar, sleep, exercise, diet, etc. If you track, what do you track? How do you track it (ie, device, paper, spreadsheet, etc)? Do you share it with your doctors?

I use Outlook for Mac and have for many years. There are several meetings from committees I was a part of from 2012 and 2013 that keep returning to my calendar. Everytime they show up, I go to the series and delete it... only to have them show up again a few weeks or months later. Tips, anyone?
