Quote:

Emlyn Culverwell‚ 29, and Iryna Nohai, 27, were reportedly arrested after a doctor discovered Ms Nohai, who had stomach cramps, was pregnant.

They were arrested for sex outside of marriage, which is illegal in the UAE.

Just as creepy is that apparently doctors in the UAE don't have doctor/patient confidentiality.

Organizers of the Boston St. Patrick's Day parade have decided to bar any LBGT and OutVets veterans from the parade. Uh, oh.

- Mayor of Boston calls for an all out boycott of the parade.
- Anheuser-Busch is threatening to pull their sponsorship and not include their clydesdales in the parade.
- Mass Fallen Heroes Executive Director Dan Magoon said in a statement he was withdrawing as chief marshal of the parade this year because he can’t support the council’s decision.
- Republican Gov. Charlie Baker also said he would not participate, while Democratic U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton called for a boycott of the parade. Moulton, who served four tours of duty in Iraq, has marched with OutVets previously.

Boston + St. Patrick's Day Parade = massive party with lots of drinking. One of the most profitable days for bars and pubs in New England of the year. Huge Irish community back there.
