Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered new assurances to gay athletes and fans attending the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics next month. Yet he defended Russia's anti-gay law by equating gays with pedophiles and said Russia needs to ''cleanse'' itself of homosexuality if it wants to increase its birth rate. Putin's comments in an interview broadcast Sunday with Russian and foreign television stations showed the wide gulf between the perception of homosexuality in Russia versus the West.

Lawyers Are Killing Themselves—But Why? BAR ASSOCIATIONS TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON GRIM TREND By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff newser.com ( Are they suddenly realizing they're LAWYERS? ) Posted Jan 20, 2014 5:48 PM CST (NEWSER) – Overworked and burdened by a mix of worries unique to their profession, lawyers have a growing tendency to kill themselves—and bar associations are just beginning to grapple with it, CNN reports. Eight of the nation's 50 associations are trying to stop the pattern after South Carolina lost six lawyers in an 18-month period, Oklahoma had a spate of losing one a month, and Kentucky saw 15 commit suicide since 2010. "It's been primarily men," said the head of Kentucky's bar association. "To a large degree, it's been trial attorneys. The men are primarily middle-aged." The issues can begin in law school, where, according to one study, 40% of students are depressed and take that into their professional careers. Many don't seek proper treatment or take a career break, and hide their unhappiness from spouses—who are stunned when their husband commits suicide. "I never dreamed that I would be a widow at 58," says a wife in Ohio. "We were starting the best chapter of our lives." But all those innocent people imprisoned, all those lost hours and missed holidays with family, can take their toll, reports the Courier-Journal. "They become like a weak-kneed boxer in the 15th round," said a Kentucky Supreme Court justice. "They keep flailing away. But they lose purpose. They lose hope."
