Huffington Post: Prison Quotas Push Lawmakers To Fill Beds, Derail Reform

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 08:54 AM PDT

After three violent inmates escaped from an Arizona private prison in July 2010, prompting a two-week, multi-state manhunt, state corrections officials demanded improvements and stopped sending new inmates to what they called a "dysfunctional" 3,300-bed facility.

Less than a year later, the company that runs the prison, Management & Training Corp., threatened to sue the state. A line in their contract guaranteed that the prison would remain 97 percent full. They argued they had lost nearly $10 million from the reduced inmate population.

State officials renegotiated the contract, but ended up paying $3 million for empty beds as the company continued to address problems, according to state documents and local news accounts.

Huffington Post: Victoria's Secret Model: 'I Think It's Sexier To Be More Full'

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 08:56 AM PDT

As lingerie models shrink beyond recognition, we're happy to hear about one stunner who'd rather fill up.

Victoria's Secret model (and HuffPost blogger) Lindsay Ellingson admitted to our friends at Fashionista that she prefers to have a fuller figure than the one her industry projects. While she preps for December's Victoria's Secret fashion show, Ellingson is not feeding herself cotton balls -- but fatty nut butters instead. Lindsay filled Fashionista in:

"I like to add curves, I think it's sexier and more feminine to be more full. So I add like almond butter, peanut butter, protein shakes to my diet, just to feel a little sexier and curvier."

Huffington Post: Dennis Kucinich: Fox News' Newest Journalist

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 08:56 AM PDT

Fox News's interview with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad may go down in the history books as one of the stranger episodes of journalism in recent memory -- mostly because of the role that former Democratic congressman--and current Fox News contributor--Dennis Kucinich played in speaking to Assad.

The sight of a very liberal man representing Fox News in the session was, to put it mildly, jarring. Maybe that's why the network worked so hard to disavow any connection it had with Kucinich, assuring viewers that he "was not there in the capacity of a journalist, nor was he representing Fox News in that role."

That's a strange statement, because it sure seemed like Kucinich was doing both of those things, as the Washington Post's Erik Wemple exhaustively documented on his blog on Thursday.

Huffington Post: Pope Francis: Gays, Abortion Too Much Of Catholic Church's Obsession

Posted: 19 Sep 2013 09:00 AM PDT

Pope Francis faulted the Roman Catholic church for focusing too much on gays, abortion and contraception, saying the church has become "obsessed" with those issues to the detriment of its larger mission to be "home for all," according to an extensive new interview published Thursday.

The church can share its views on homosexuality, abortion and other issues, but should not "interfere spiritually" with the lives gays and lesbians, the pope added in the interview, which was published in La Civilta Cattolica, a Rome-based Jesuit journal.

"We have to find a new balance, otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel," Francis said in the interview.
