SAN DIEGO -- To benefit the important organizations, charities and groups that serve San Diego’s LGBT community, the Mo’s Universe family of restaurants has created Young Mo’s Being gAy (YMBA), a new employee-giving program.

The goal of employees of Mo’s Universe-branded restaurants – Urban Mo’s, Baja Betty’s, Gossip Grill and Hillcrest Brewing Company – is to raise $20,000 in the first year of the program for the Hillcrest Youth Center (HYC), which has been selected as the inaugural beneficiary.

Starting position

1. Start off by finding a suitable ball to use.
2. Next, place your legs on the ball and hold yourself up with your arms straight, your hands shoulder width apart, and keep the middle of your back raised.

Action

1. Once in position, maintain a neutral spine and begin to roll the ball toward your arms by bringing your knees to your chest.

2. Your tips of your toes should be on the ball when in the crunched position.

3. After you finish your first crunch, return to the starting position and repeat.

(Editor's note: House Republicans decided this week to incorporate ongoing counsel to uphold the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) into the new Congressional Rules. To date, the House Republicans had spend about $2 million in taxpayer money to defend DOMA in court. The Justice Department and the Obama Administration believes DOMA is unconstitutional and refused to defend the law in court. Ten courts have ruled that parts of DOMA are unconstitutional, and one case has now reached the U.S. Supreme Court for review in March.)

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The tables could be turning on anti-gay agitator Scott Lively, whose evangelical preaching and homophobic writings have demonized LGBT people the world over.
