A North Carolina voting law was struck down Friday by a federal appeals court, finding that Republican lawmakers intentionally discriminated against African-Americans, NBC News reported.
According to the federal appeals court, the measure's provisions "target African-Americans with almost surgical precision." The court found that African-American registration and turnout rates reached parity with those of whites by 2013.
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican, signed and championed the law, which imposed a voter ID requirement, cut early voting opportunities, eliminated same-day voter registration and banned voting from outside precincts.
U.S. & World
A district court upheld the law, but the appeals court found it erred in its decision by seeing the law's goals as partisan rather than race-based.
"Before enacting that law, the legislature requested data on the use, by race, of a number of voting practices. Upon receipt of the race data, the General Assembly enacted legislation that restricted voting and registration in five different ways, all of which disproportionately affected African-Americans."

"Never has there been a bigger hive of old age pensioners"
Hampton is a small part of Evesham located more or less pershore way. It's name has been derived from pretty much nothing at all except maybe the words "Ham" and "Ton." The Ham part was probably derived from Evesham's history whereas the ton? Lord only knows, probably because the place is a ton of uselessness but hey, someone has to live there. Hampton is the home to MANY old age pensioners, a bridge, a Farm Shop and a Spar shop (Seriously there is NOTHING there.) We would play football in the streets a la Evesham but theres nowhere to play, and the only place TO do so has a "No Football" sign...bloody pensioners.
Hampton is located along the River Avon much like Evesham is (funny that considering how its part of the town itself.) We have our own Ferry across the avon for a measly 50p. Many people have expressed their desire to take up the position of ferryman but none have succeeded thus far. Perhaps the guy is immortal..who knows?
Access to Fladbury and Charlton are one of two reasons to live or go through Hampton...but seriously..who the hell wants to go there, ever?
Hampton is home to: 5% Young British 25% Chav 70% Old British
Hampton's Spar shop tends to have a congregation of that 70% at any one time...go to the town already! Use your cars you've driven for longer then the rest of us for gawd's sake!
The Farm shop tends to have an same said congregation of old people...what is it with Hampton and old people? Seriously...go somewhere else already!
Local Government[edit]
Hampton has no government, its a free for all which tends to be won 99.9% of the time by the old people due to the much larger percentage of them in the village. Bit like the world war really. Funny story involving a war. A Farmer barricaded his home after some pensioners tried to lynch him. He was eventually over run and the survivors declared themselves the government. Every year new people try to take their place. This has come to be known as "I WANNA BE LEADER" day. Probably the only thing that ACTUALLY ever happens around here, quite popular in fact.
Local Landmarks[edit]
We have Hampton Bridge, an Idyllic piece of construction with every piece of filth running in its water that you can think of, tyres, car doors, bollards the lot!
The Spar shop is the only place we can go without having to walk far to get food, hence why it is always crowded.
The Farm Shop has fresh produce (YES FRESH) being as its situated next to lord knows how much farm land.
Oh...and we have a school, somewhere, I haven't been able to find it yet.
Little known Facts[edit]
- We have a school.
- We are emo-free.
- Bus services DO cover our village surprisingly.
- We were hit by the great flood of '96 nd 2007 just as bad as Evesham cutting us off from a lot of stuff, man the Spar has never seen so much business ever.
- A man tried to free fall over the village and ended up splatting everywhere, this added up to 3 years of meat for the local butchery which never really sees much business.
- We DO sell Oreos in small quantities.
- William Shakespeare almost lived here but then decided it was too old for him and went to Stratford.

Richard M. Stallman invented the Texinfo format, wrote the initial
processors, and created Edition 1.0 of this manual. Robert J.
Chassell greatly revised and extended the manual, starting with
Edition 1.1. Brian Fox was responsible for the standalone Texinfo
distribution until version 3.8, and originally wrote the standalone
makeinfo and
info programs. Karl Berry has
continued maintenance since Texinfo 3.8 (manual edition 2.22).
Our thanks go out to all who helped improve this work, particularly the indefatigable Eli Zaretskii and Andreas Schwab, who have provided patches beyond counting. François Pinard and David D. Zuhn, tirelessly recorded and reported mistakes and obscurities. Zack Weinberg did the impossible by implementing the macro syntax in texinfo.tex. Thanks to Melissa Weisshaus for her frequent reviews of nearly similar editions. Dozens of others have contributed patches and suggestions, they are gratefully acknowledged in the ChangeLog file. Our mistakes are our own.
In the 1970's at CMU, Brian Reid developed a program and format named
Scribe to mark up documents for printing. It used the
character to introduce commands, as Texinfo does. Much more
consequentially, it strove to describe document contents rather than
formatting, an idea wholeheartedly adopted by Texinfo.
Meanwhile, people at MIT developed another, not too dissimilar format called Bolio. This then was converted to using TeX as its typesetting language: BoTeX. The earliest BoTeX version seems to have been 0.02 on October 31, 1984.
BoTeX could only be used as a markup language for documents to be printed, not for online documents. Richard Stallman (RMS) worked on both Bolio and BoTeX. He also developed a nifty on-line help format called Info, and then combined BoTeX and Info to create Texinfo, a mark up language for text that is intended to be read both online and as printed hard copy.
Moving forward, the original translator to create Info was written
(primarily by RMS and Bob Chassell) in Emacs Lisp, namely the
texinfo-format-buffer and other functions. In the early 1990s,
Brian Fox reimplemented the conversion program in C, now called
In 2012, the C
makeinfo was itself replaced by a Perl
implementation generically called
texi2any. This version
supports the same level of output customization as
texi2html, an independent program originally written by
Lionel Cons, later with substantial work by many others. The many
additional features needed to make
texi2html a replacement
makeinfo were implemented by Patrice Dumas. The first
never-released version of
texi2any was based on the
texi2html code. That implementation, however, was abandoned
in favor of the current program, which parses the Texinfo input into a
tree for processing. It still supports nearly all the features of
The new Perl program is much slower than the old C program. We hope
the speed gap will close in the future, but it may not ever be
entirely comparable. So why did we switch? In short, we intend and
hope that the present program will be much easier than the previous C
implementation of
makeinfo to extend to different output
styles, back-end output formats, and all other customizations.
In more detail:
texi2html for years. Thus, in effect two independent
implementations of the Texinfo language had developed, and keeping
them in sync was not simple. Adding the HTML customization possible
texi2html to a C program would have been an
enormous effort.
makeinfo, it
would have been tantamount to rewriting the entire program. In Perl,
much of that comes essentially for free.
makeinfo code had become
convoluted to the point where adding a new back-end was quite complex,
requiring complex interactions with existing back-ends. In contrast,
our Perl implementation provides a clean tree-based representation for
all back-ends to work from. People have requested numerous different
back-ends (LaTeX, the latest (X)HTML, …), and they will now
be much more feasible to implement. Which leads to the last item:
See Reference Implementation, for more on the rationale for and
role of

Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge dedicated; significant delays expected tonight, Saturday as span opens (photos, video)
NEW HAVEN -- This weekend, the web of highways around New Haven Harbor will be tougher to navigate than usual.
Lanes will be shifted and merged. Getting from one place to another may mean a detour that takes you out of your way and then back again. "Expect significant delays" is the mantra from the state Department of Transportation.
Gov. Dannel Malloy and several Pearl Harbor survivors helped dedicate the bridge in a ceremony this morning.
The payoff: By Sunday night, whether you're traveling from Milford, downtown New Haven or Hartford, if you're crossing New Haven Harbor on Interstate 95, you'll be driving across the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge.
Photos: Halfway there - the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge - an aerial view
"Our expectation is, Saturday morning at 6, traffic will be there," said Brian Mercure, assistant district engineer for the highway and bridge project.
But that is really only the beginning, because there are three roads merging onto the bridge. "When it's all said and done ... from beginning to end -- and my end is 6 a.m. Monday -- we can do it," Mercure said. "We have plenty of time in that weekend to do it."
"It" is connecting three highways -- Interstate 95 northbound, Route 34 eastbound and Interstate 91 southbound -- to the new Q bridge. And "it" is not simple.
See details of the traffic shifts here on an interactive map.
Of course there are caveats. The weather is the biggest uncontrollable factor. But Mercure has contingency plans even for that, assuming the weekend isn't a washout.
"If we're looking for weather Saturday night to be bad ... I may choose to move the closure" of the I-91 ramp to I-95 north, scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday "up to some hour ... so I can get it done earlier," Mercure said. "Or I may delay it, moving further into Sunday."
The weekend will start with ceremony. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy will cut the ribbon on Friday, accompanied by as many as six survivors of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. A wreath will be placed. The gilded lettering with the name of the bridge and the date, "December 7, 1941," will be visible from afar.
Once the dignitaries leave, the builders will get to work.
Traffic on I-95 north will be reduced to one lane starting at 8 p.m. Friday so the barriers to the new roadway can be removed. By Saturday evening, the new bridge will be open, not only to I-95 traffic, but also to vehicles coming in from Route 34.
"It's all going to happen Friday night going into Saturday. Everything will be going onto the new bridge then," Mercure said.
One detail that shows how complex the project is: The new roadway to the bridge is only temporarily being used for I-95 traffic. When the project is finished, that road will be the ramp from Route 34. The eventual approach has to wait for the old road to be torn down.
Once traffic is moved onto the new bridge, the next step actually involves a change of plans. Originally, the next week was going to be used to bring I-91 to the new bridge. After all, workers will have to cut through the just-abandoned section of I-95 to connect the road. But that has been moved up, to Sunday.
Most of the remaining work for the I-91 ramp consists of paving. But moving part of I-95 out of the way is no small task.
"It's all got to be taken out, it's got be graded and the proper material put back," said Mercure. "Plus drainage that we have to put in ... Before you can put a road on top you've got to put the drainage structures and pipes under the road."
To get this all done, some exits will be closed and detours will be set up. The Long Wharf Drive ramp to I-95 north, the Exit 50 off-ramps in both directions, the I-91 connection to I-95 northbound and the Wooster Street on-ramp to I-95 north will all be closed for part of the weekend.
Mercure points out that opening the new bridge marks a halfway point in that project. A second span of the Q bridge still has to be built. That will open in 2015.
The entire project, including reconfiguring the interchange of the three highways, which will cost $1 billion, will be completed in 2016, he said.
Here are the details of next weekend's traffic shifts:
8 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Saturday
- I-95 northbound will be reduced to one lane between Long Wharf Drive (Exit 46) and Woodward Avenue (Exit 50). This includes the I-95 northbound off ramp to I-91 North (Exit 48).
- I-91 south traffic to I-95 north will merge into a single lane of I-95. Expect significant delays getting to I-95 north.
- I-95 north Long Wharf Drive on-ramp will be closed until 8 a.m.
Detour to go to I-95 north will go down Long Wharf Drive, left on Water Street, right on Chestnut Street, right on Franklin Street to the on-ramp at the end of Wooster Street.
Detour to go to I-91 north will go down Long Wharf Drive, straight on East Street, left on Ives Place to I-91 on-ramp.
- I-95 north off-ramp to Woodward Avenue (Exit 50) will be closed until 8 a.m.
Detour to go to Woodward Avenue via South Frontage Road (Exit 51), North Frontage Road and Forbes Avenue/Route 1.
8 p.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Saturday
- I-91 southbound will not have access to Exit 50 (Woodward Avenue/Port Area) from 8 p.m. Friday until after 6 p.m. Saturday.
Detour to go to I-95 south to Exit 45 (Ella T. Grasso Boulevard), left on the Boulevard, then back onto I-95 North to Exit 50.
8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday
- I-91 south traffic to I-95 north will merge into two lanes. Expect significant delays accessing I-95 North.
6 p.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday:
- I-91 south ramp to I-95 North will be closed until 10 a.m. Sunday.
Detour to go to I-95 south to Exit 45 (Ella T. Grasso Boulevard), left on the Boulevard, then back onto I-95 North.
- Wooster Street on-ramp to I-95 North closed until 10 a.m. Sunday.
Detour to go north on Franklin Street, right on Chapel Street, right on East Street, left on Forbes Avenue to South Frontage Road.
10 a.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday:
- I-91 south ramp to I-95 north reopens at 10 a.m. Sunday, but traffic will be restricted because of lane closures on I-95 north until 6 a.m. Monday

this is all based on a cruise that I found in Chicago called the Chicago Supernatural Cruise http://www.ghosttours.com/cruise.htm It is a terrible website but a successful concept. We are going to be going down a similar path telling the ghost stories of Boston Harbor on a harbor cruise boat. It is 10:30PM on a Saturday night, 10 dates through the summer.
Boston Ghost Cruise
I have looked at every ghost tour website and most are pretty cheesy. I know what they are going for but I am not looking for cheesy, scary fun for everyone is the subtitle but I don't expect families. I am not hiring a ghost hunter but actors so it will be similar to the premier event in the area http://www.ghostsandgravestones.com…t-tour.htm but I can't copy them but you'll get the idea
- Hard to do a list but this is going to be a 1 - 3 page website tied into a ticketing company called Zerve, see here for an example https://www.zerve.com/Sandlapper/Ghost As you see, much of the activity is described on this page. This will have to have a cruise feel to it but not in a seasick way. This is the boat we are using http://www.functionsafloat.com/ourf…ndence.htm
- I don't want cheesy, big typeface, loud colors, I don't want much of what you will see on ghost tour websites if you search google. I want classy and fun with a little bit of scary

An area of the brain called the vomiting centre controls nausea and vomiting. Nausea or vomiting happens when the vomiting centre is stimulated. It may be stimulated by:
- nerves in the gut (stomach)
- another part of the brain called the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ)
- the inner ear, which is caused by body motion
- our senses, for example, taste, smell and pain
- our emotions, for example, if we're scared or nervous.
There are several reasons why someone with cancer may have nausea and vomiting. These include cancer treatments, physical changes in the body and emotional reasons. Some of the reasons why someone with cancer may experience nausea and vomiting are listed below.
Treatments that can cause nausea and vomiting
Cancer treatments that may cause nausea and vomiting include:
- chemotherapy
- radiotherapy, if given to the brain, stomach, bowel or close to the liver
- hormonal therapies
- targeted therapies
- morphine-based medicines, which are used as painkillers.
Physical causes of nausea and vomiting
Sometimes, nausea and vomiting can be caused by the following reasons:
- Changes in the body chemistry – High levels of calcium in the blood can cause nausea and vomiting.
- Pressure in the brain – If the pressure in the brain is raised, it can affect the vomiting centre and cause you to be sick.
- Damage to the liver – If the liver isn't working properly, waste products can build up in the blood, leading to nausea and vomiting.
- Constipation – This can sometimes cause nausea and vomiting.
- Bowel obstruction – Some cancers, especially cancers that affect the pelvis or abdomen, can cause the bowel to become blocked (bowel obstruction), making you vomit.
Emotional causes of nausea and vomiting
In other cases, there are emotional reasons for nausea and vomiting. Examples of these include the following:
- Anxiety – Feeling anxious about the cancer or your treatment may cause nausea and vomiting.
- Feelings of nausea and vomiting before treatment (anticipatory nausea) – Sometimes, feelings of nausea and vomiting can be triggered by a situation that reminds you of when you were feeling or being sick in the past. This is called anticipatory nausea. It can occur with chemotherapy and other cancer treatments.

Chinese news sites are leaking pictures of the newest version of the Lexus ES, a.k.a. suburbia's favorite luxury sedan. Set to debut at the Beijing Motor Show in April, we're getting an unexpected view of the posh Camry's less boring new skin and interior.
If you look closely, you can see the Lexus shares its bone structure with the pedestrian 2012 Toyota Camry, like it always has. Toyota still is trying to fool you that you're getting something really special by giving the ES gets Lexus' Predator-grade corporate face and a more swoopy rear.
Also, the headlights and taillights get fancy new LEDs and there are dual exhausts out back.
Even if we don't get the ES250, our ES350 could sport the same look but with the 3.5 liter six-cylinder engine/ six-speed auto combo that you get in a Camry, because, this Lexus ES is just a Camry dolled up for the reserved parking spaces in front of the dentist's office.

Kask helmets are seriously comfy. I ended up with the cheaper (next down the range) Mojito which I preferred over the Vertigo.
If I had to sum up the Kask Vertigo in one word, it would be this one: quality. There's no doubt that £165 is a serious wedge to pay for a helmet, but whereas some bike kit seems to get more ephemeral the more you pay, this helmet feels every inch a dependable, pro level piece of kit.
Kask, for those who don't know, are Italian and Sky's helmet sponsor; this is the lid you'll see perched atop the heads of Wiggo et al, though you'll have to pay £20 extra if you want it in the team colours. As top dog in the road range the Vertigo has some neat features. Structurally it's the usual high-end deal: an EPS layer formed around a skeleton (polycarbonate in this case) with an in-moulded shell. There's plenty of attention to detail and it's good to see a protective shell layer all around the base of the helmet.
The retention system pivots from the side of the helmet and there's a second pivot nearer the back to allow for plenty of height and angle adjustment. A nice big clicky dial allows you to adjust the fit on the go. The pads on the retention system are a very grippy silicone which feels a bit odd first time round and can pull your hair, but you get used to that. The upside is that once on and fitted this is the most secure-feeling helmet I've ever tried. That may be partly down to it fitting my particular head shape but everyone who's tried has agreed: if you fall off, your helmet's not going to. The Vertigo is certified to the European EN-1078 standard.
It's not uncomfortable with all that security either: there's big pads at the side and a waffle-profile one in the top that's supposed to help with air flow, and the straps are imitation leather instead of the usual nylon. That doesn't sound like a big difference until you've tried them. The 24 vents do a good job of keeping you cool and the skeleton system means there's two big channels all the way across the top of your head to funnel away hot air.
Weight-wise it isn't light: 280 grams is a hundred more than the lightest lids out there, so if you're a weight weenie it isn't for you. If you like a bit of quality and have the readies for it though, this is the kind of thing you'll be wanting to buy. If it's good enough for Team Sky and all that... If you don't have the requisite pocket depth then it's worth looking at the K-10, which carries a lot of the features over to a slightly cheaper lid.
If you want to splash out on a pro-level lid then the Vertigo gets top marks for quality. It's comfy, too.

Make and model: Kask Vertigo C50 helmet
Size tested: White, M
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
The Kask website (possibly via Google translate) says:
Protect ourselves is the worldwide bicycle password, both on the road practice and on impassable paths, any respectable keen cyclist in terms of safety looks for the maximum effectiveness.
This means more peace in giving the best of ourselves, more fun into any contest, more self-confidence and the certainty that at the arrival someone will envy you, regardless your performance.
This is KASK's continuous commitment: each your personal success is also a KASK's one, which by Vertigo gives you the best of itself:
• The cap is made by the in-moulding innovative system
• Vertigo is provided with a reinforced frame as a guarantee of product with greater mechanical resistance
• 24 symmetrically arranged air intakes on the complete helmet surface for excellent ventilation and top aerodynamic qualities
• Up'n'down adjustment system for a precise and comfortable fitment due to a central knob and to two lateral winglets
• Nylon thermo fixed holding system with quick release micrometric buckle, provided with soft lateral spacers which, in contact with the skin, enable excellent ventilation as a result of their curvilinear outline
• The anallergic and washable chinstrap is made in imitation leather to improve the wearing comfort and avoid irritation
• High visibility stickers for maximum safety even in poor visibility conditions
Nothing is left to the chance and Vertigo is the tangible proof: KASK wants to spoil his keen cyclists because respects and loves the sport and those who practice it at any level.
No matter if it is the first time that you ride a racing bicycle or if you haven't won the Giro d'Italia, the important is that enjoy yourself by increasing the value, as well as KASK does with Vertigo, love for freedom and challenges.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? No, a bit salty for me
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes, the well-heeled ones anyway

How to Use Up a Whole Lemon
This may sound absurdly simple. And why would you want to use up the whole lemon anyway? Why not just use half of it and then let the other half turn wrinkly and dry in your fridge? (I know you know what I'm talking about ... )
Ok, I'm resorting to sarcasm - a sure sign that I'm too tired to be doing this. But it'll be a short post, so I'll keep at it.
1. Buy organic or spray-free ones. Wash them well.
2. Use a peeler to peel the zest from your lemons. Try to avoid the white pith - just get the lovely yellow peel.
- Dry the peel out and save it for another day.
- Chop up the peel and make cookies. Or cake.
3. Now your lemon looks ridiculous. Nude. Put it out of its misery by juicing it.
- Use the juice in baking
- Add it to a pitcher of icy-cold water (with a sprig of mint)
- Add a couple of spoonfuls to a mug of warm water. (Many consider this to be a good liver-cleanser first thing in the morning)
- Use it however you like to use lemon juice. The options are pretty limitless.
- And if you have extra, do as Steph does and pour the juice into ice cube trays and freeze it.
4. Finally, all you've got left is the hollow shell of your lemon. What more could you possibly do with it?
- Use the shell to wipe down your sink. There'll still be some lemony goodness in there that will cut through any residues. Plus lemon in your sink smells nice.
- Then, if you've got a garbage disposal - grind up the shell in it ... that's what Kelly does ...
5. Now you have to bin your lemon, because if you have worms in your compost they don't like citrus. And too much citrus in a worm-free compost can acidify your soil.
But that's ok, because you've used all that you could.
Now to celebrate with a nice lemonade ...

I love a cup of warm water, some lemon juice, and a little honey, and I am good to go. If it is too hot, cold water will do. Sometimes I use the leftover half for a quick salad dressing, mixing it with some mustard, a littlle olive oil, salt and pepper. Good in toasts, in salads, in sandwiches ...
And what a good excuse for a lemony cake or cookie, huh? ;)
Um beijo!

Instead of throwing out the lemon, if you have a garbage disposal you should grind it up! It makes your sink smell nice!

I like to pour the leftover lemon juice into the icecube tray and then once they are frozen, pop them into a freezer bag for a rainy day. Thanks for all the other hints x

Something to do with your hollow shell of your lemon... clean and exfoliate your nails! I learnt this from my Omi (Grandma):
Put a teaspoon of sugar or salt in each half of the lemon shell.
Place your fingers into the hollow shell and twist for a minute or so on each hand.
Rinse your fingers. They will feel great.

I put my empty citrus shells in a bowl of water and microwave for a couple of minutes. The citrusy steam helps to loosen the gunk inside your microwave and makes it easy to wipe out, plus it deodorizes and sanitizes your microwave. THEN, dump the cooked, soft shells in your garbage disposal and run lots of hot water as you grind them up. That will clean and deodorize your sink drain, help remove greasy gunk, and make your kitchen smell fresh!

The Virgin Suicides takes place in a bare Detroit suburb in the 70's and Twin Peaks in a secluded Washington industrial town at the time it was made in the 90's. Neither towns distract from their sadness with pastels and picket fences, as they slowly give up on holding up an illusion of a friendly town. They are yellow and gray and chipping paint and bags under their eyes. It's the perfect place for the kind of tragedy no one can figure out how to justify. Laura Palmer was murdered at 17, and the Lisbon sisters, 13-17, all killed themselves.
The show and movie are both known for giving extra camera time to the details of the ways their characters live, keeping specifically with the middle-of-nowhere feeling. But the moments spent on details of material memories of the girls align with this feeling most perfectly, combining the mixed pain and comfort of remembering someone who is now gone with the mixed pain and comfort of living in a place so secluded. The point that both Twin Peaks and The Virgin Suicides make to focus in on seemingly minor details -- a photo on a mantle, an eyelash curler -- when the larger story is so tragic gives pathetic tchotchkes and tiny memories significance. Depressing details of boring houses in boring towns become weirdly beautiful when they end up the only remnants of people who are now dead, leaving the neighborhood boys to smell the Lisbons' stolen lipstick with wistful desire and Mr. Palmer to dance in the living room with Laura's photo to keep from crying.
These are the only memories we get of these girls, too. Laura is found dead in the first episode, occasionally recalled throughout the series with flashbacks and dreams, primarily remembered with the homecoming photo that always ends the show. But a video tape of her dancing at a picnic with a friend that's shown in the pilot is when we first fall in love with her spirit, and first notice that something is at work underneath her joy as a muffled voice begs "help me" over a close-up on her eyes.
Though the Lisbon sisters actually are alive for the majority of the movie, we hardly know them any better than the boys across the street do, and join them in their search for any clues or contact. Half of the idea of the Lisbons is definitely a teenage boy fantasy about blonde unicorn fairies, but the moments we get to witness of them all spending time together -- lying strategically like Tetris pieces on the same bed, fixing their hair for the spring dance, smoking together in the school bathroom -- indicate a kind of unspoken bond they've created amongst themselves out of colors and songs and stares. Along with being the total babes the neighborhood boys fawn over, they're complicated and human, mysterious and intriguing, already thinking about things you're not supposed to consider until you've exhausted the world of your bedroom and school and want more answers. As it goes, not all answers are as dreamy as the world the Lisbons had previously pieced together. One scene focuses in on Lux Lisbon in a class photo while one of the boys recalls the tips the school administration had told them to look for in their possibly troubled peers: "Were the Lisbon girls' pupils dilated? Had they lost interest in special activities, in sports and hobbies? Had they withdrawn from their peers?"
It's strange to feel strongly about characters who are talked about more than they're shown, but Laura and the sisters have turned into faces for me that feel less like fictional characters celebrated in the outside world and more like local legends, personal legends, combinations of various teenage figures I watched avidly when I was little, of my sisters' friends and dad's students and cool and weird and pretty babysitters, who I so desperately wanted to be friends with, if not be.
The "little things in life" aren't supposed to be this morbid, but right now I'm more affected by ugly living room decorations than by flowers. I'll take a few extra moments to look at a tacky ceramic on a thrift shop shelf or someone else's school photo hanging in their stairway or a friend's older sibling's souvenir of adolescence left on the dresser of her old room. All of a sudden there can be something really endearing and personal about a pitiful trinket, and I've become more nostalgic for all those small bedside table objects my sisters and their friends once held to such importance. As another person who fell in love with Laura Palmer and the Lisbon sisters, I feel compelled to nurture my own memories of the girls, paying close attention to any cheesy iconography or vomit pink figurines or crackly ashtrays or shiny stickers I may come across. Even if it is more about a romanticized idea of this age that ended up less true than a younger me had hoped. Even if it is less for the sake of paying respect to fictional characters and more for my own fantasies.

OK, so how many of you out there are thinking, "Why don't I take a picture of myself now surrounded by my crap so that 31 years from now I can see what I was interested in back then? Or what my hair looked like? And maybe let thousands of perfect strangers see?" Ah, I thought so. Well, none of that was going through my mind back then; this is another from a series I took to send to a friend who'd moved out of state. Obviously, I was (and still am) into film, about two years after I'd started to collect them by taping them off TV - which, unless you collected actual film prints, was the only way to do it. No DVDs, not even laserdiscs, and hardly any pre-recorded tapes that weren't porn. A couple of Atari cartridges indicate my slight interest in video games, plus there's a bunch of comic books in polyethylene bags (the carton on the middle shelf contains a supply of empties), and up on the top shelf some paper models that my friend who helped assemble them and I liked to call "Bogens." Look it up. This was taken in

Ballet by Pyotr Tchaikovsky
Libretto by Vladimir Begichev and Vasily Geltser
Premiere at the Estonian National Opera on April 15, 2016
Choreographer and Stage Director of the new redaction: Thomas Edur
Original choreography: Lev Ivanov, Marius Petipa
Conductors: Vello Pähn, Lauri Sirp, Kaspar Mänd
Designer: Thomas Mika (Germany)
Lighting Designer: Steen Bjarke (Denmark)
As one of the quintessential ballets of all time, "Swan Lake" offers an unforgettable experience of romance, virtuoso dancing and Tchaikovsky's magnificent music. Despite the poor reception of the premiere in 1877, it has become one of the most loved and frequently performed pieces. The technically demanding double role of Odette/Ottilie poses a challenge for any prima ballerina. Although "Swan Lake" has been restaged in many versions throughout the ballet's history, most companies rely on the 1895 version by Lev Ivanov and Marius Petipa. Thomas Edur's version combines beautiful dance classics with a beloved story of romance, sorcery and the struggle between good and evil.

Seraphim of Livadeia
Saint Seraphim of Livadeia, or Lebadeia (b.1520- May 6,1602), was an ascetic from the area of Mount Dombos of Livadeia[1] in Greece who is commemorated by the church May 6.
St Seraphim is unknown to the church Synaxaristes but is documented in a service in Aigina in 1828, conducted by Bishop Talantios Neophytos Metaxas, that was later published in Athens in 1855 and revised in 1885.
His parents were respectable and raised Seraphim in a pious life. From a young age, he had a calling to the monastic life and left the world early to pursue his ascetical vocation living in a cave at the Prophet Elias on Mount Karkara. There he built a chapel dedicated to the Saviour and spent his time in ascetism. However, he had frequent visitations from family and friends so he left this beloved cave and fled to the monastery of the Holy Unmercenaries Anargyroi.
He did not spend much time at this monastery for the same reasons and left for the Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Savior, located between Thebes and Evia. At this monastery, his ascetical works made him shone as a spiritual star and the abbot of this monastery quickly made him a monk and this is where he was given the name "Seraphim".
With the permission of the abbot, he left this monastery in order to avoid the reputation he was developing for his virtues and moved further west to a place called Domous. There he built another temple dedicated to the name of the Saviour, and some cells, and a community of monks quickly formed.
Seraphim stayed at this location for 10 years, working on virtuous projects, teaching students lessons in salvation and the Gospel.
He spent the rest of his life as a hermit and foretelling his own death, he died peacefully May 6, 1602 halfway through Pentecost. He was 75 years old when he died. It is said that he performed many miracles during his life.
Απολυτίκιο. Ήχος γ'. Θείας πίστεως.
Θείον βλάστημα, της Βοιωτίας, έμπνουν όργανον, της εγκράτειας, ανεδείχθης Σεραφείμ άξιάγαστε· συ γαρ Όσιων βαδίσας τοις ίχνεσιν, άρτιφανώς εν τω κόσμω έξέλαμψας· Πάτερ Όσιε, Χριστόν τον Θεόν ικέτευε, δωρήσασθαι ημίν το μέγα.

EV takes NAMM to the next level!
This year's Winter NAMM trade show broke attendance records, with over 95,000 registered attendees from across the globe gathering in Anaheim, California to experience the latest product offerings for the musical instrument retail marketplace from over 1,400 exhibitors.
The Electro-Voice booth was once again a standout destination at the show, thanks to its 400 square-foot soundproofed demo room, dubbed the Audio Arena. Whereas most other loudspeakers on display at NAMM sit silently on shelves, the EV demo room allowed customers to hear our new portable loudspeakers in action as part of a dynamic, synchronized audio/visual presentation unlike any other at the show. Add the booth's stylish design and relaxed vibe to the equation, and it's no surprise that EV made the top of many pro audio professionals' must-see short lists.
"Expect even bigger things next year!"
EV's commitment to its retail partners and their customers was made very clear at the busy press conference that kicked-off day one of the show, with a central theme being the global sales success achieved by the Live X family of loudspeakers launched at the previous NAMM, and the steady stream of products planned for the retail market, including the brand-new ZXA1-Sub launched at the show -- the complementary subwoofer for the popular ZXA1 two-way powered loudspeaker.
And the press coverage didn't stop there. Electro-Voice was presented with four ProSoundWeb Readers' Choice Awards at the booth, along with a coveted "Best in Show" award from Pro Sound News and Pro Audio Review for the new ZXA1-Sub. Not a bad way to start a year with a front-and-center focus on the retail market!
The buzz at the EV booth quickly extended itself to the internet, with video coverage from magazines and websites from all corners of the industry being quickly syndicated on social media sites around the world, with particular interest from the DJ and mobile entertainment segment. Interest in EV was also reflected in a 22% increase in leads taken at the booth over 2011.
It felt good to be in the thick of it at the busiest-ever NAMM show, and we hope everyone who visited the EV booth got a first-hand sense of our dedication to the world of MI retail. Expect even bigger things next year!Check out the video version of this press release here.

1997 National Resources Inventory: Highlights (PDF; 0.5 MB)
The National Resources Inventory (NRI) is a statistically based survey that has been designed and implemented using scientific principles to assess conditions and trends of soil, water, and related resources on non-Federal lands in the United States.
The NRI is conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service in cooperation with the Iowa State University Statistical Laboratory. It is a compilation of natural resource information on non-Federal land--nearly 75 percent of the Nation's total land area.
The 1997 NRI captures data on land cover and use, soil erosion, prime farmland soils, wetlands, habitat diversity, selected conservation practices, and related resource attributes at more than 800,000 scientifically selected sample sites.
Data used for the NRI were collected using a variety of imagery, field office records, historical records and data, ancillary materials, and a limited number of on-site visits. The data have been compiled, verified, and analyzed to provide a comprehensive look at the state of the Nation's non-Federal lands.
The following highlights cover the 48 conterminous States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Federal land totaled about 402 million acres in 1997. Non-Federal land amounted to just under 1.5 billion acres, most of it rangeland (27 percent) and forest land (27 percent), followed by cropland (25 percent), pastureland (8 percent), and developed land (6.6 percent).
Land use is not static, however. It is surprisingly dynamic, with annual shifts in and out of different uses. In agriculture there are constant shifts in the use of land among cropland, pasture, range, and forest land to meet production needs, implement rotations of land in and out of cultivation, and maintain and sustain soil resources.
Since 1982, cropland and land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) declined 11 million acres, pastureland 12 million acres, and rangeland almost 11 million acres. Forest land increased by 3.6 million acres. The largest increase in acreage by land use was for development, about 25 million acres, from 5 percent of the land area in 1982 to 6.6 percent in 1997.
Although not considered a threat to the Nation's food production overall, land development and urbanization is a critical issue because it can lead to fragmentation of agricultural and forest land; loss of prime farmland, wildlife habitat, and other resources; additional infrastructure costs for communities and regional authorities; and competition for water.
In 1997, developed land totaled a little over 98 million acres, about 6.6 percent of the U.S. non-Federal land area. However, in the 5-year period between 1992 and 1997, the pace of development (2.2 million acres a year) was more than 1-1/2 times that of the previous 10-year period, 1982-92 (1.4 million acres a year). Over the 15-year period, 1982-97, the total acreage of developed land increased by more than 25 million acres, or one-third (34 percent).
In 16 States, 50 percent or more of the acreage that had been developed since 1982 was developed between 1992 and 1997. Non-Federal forest land is the dominant land type being developed. Combined, forest land and cultivated cropland have made up more than 60 percent of the total acreage developed since 1982.
Between 1992 and 1997, more than 3.2 million acres of prime farmland were converted to developed land, on average more than half a million acres (645,000) of prime farmland per year overall. Over the 5-year periods 1982-87, 1987-92, and 1992-97, converted prime farmland made up about 30 percent of the newly developed land.
The number of irrigated acres continued to decline in the West and South Central States, while increasing in the Midwest, Northern Plains, East, and Southeast. States with the largest decreases in irrigation since 1982 were Texas, California, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Idaho. Largest increases since 1982 were in Arkansas, Nebraska, Mississippi, Missouri, Michigan, Montana, and North Carolina. Regional decreases were greatest in the Southern Plains, Pacific, and Mountain farm production regions. The greatest increases were in the farm production regions of the Delta, Northern Plains, Corn Belt, Appalachian, Northeastern, and Great Lake States.
The biggest shifts in redistribution of irrigated acres occurred between 1987 and 1992; they continued, but slowed, during the period 1992-97 in every region except the Southeast (driven by decreases in Florida and Georgia). Competition for water, the economics of production agriculture, and risk management to ensure crop production to compensate for shortages of rainfall have driven regional shifts in demand for irrigation.
In the future, continued severe and prolonged droughts may lead to concerns about surface and groundwater withdrawals in irrigation growth areas. This may lead to water supply issues in areas where they have not been major concerns in the past.
Since 1982, erosion on cropland and CRP land has been reduced by 38 percent. Stewardship by agricultural producers and private landowners on the Nation's working lands hit an all-time high with successful implementation of the 1985 and 1990 Farm Bills.
Since 1995 though, erosion has leveled off at about 1.9 billion tons per year, and 108 million acres (29 percent of cropland) has been determined to be excessively eroding at rates of 1.3 billion tons per year.
Excessive erosion continues to be a serious problem in many parts of the country. More than 57.3 million acres of fragile highly erodible cropland was determined to have excessive erosion, and nearly 50.5 million acres of non-highly erodible cropland was determined to have erosion that exceeded the tolerable soil loss rate.
Excessive erosion of 1.3 billion tons per year leads to concerns about sediments, nutrients, and pesticides impacting water quality, as well as air quality in wind erosion areas of the West, Midwest, Northern Plains, and Southern Plains.
Excessive erosion rates indicate where there are opportunities to improve soil quality, sequester carbon dioxide, and reach goals to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Maintaining and improving the amount and condition of grazing lands is important for sequestering greenhouse gases, protecting water quality and quantity, providing vegetation for livestock and wildlife, as well as enhancing wildlife habitat and the landscape.
The Nation's grazing lands total 588 million acres on non-Federal land and include pastureland, rangeland, and grazed forest land. Together, pastureland and rangeland amount to nearly 526 million acres, or 35 percent of non-Federal land.
Since 1982, total pastureland and rangeland has declined by 23 million acres. From 1992-97, because of changes in land use, the combined decline in pastureland and rangeland acreage was nearly 7.5 million acres; 24 million acres were converted from pastureland and rangeland to other uses, while 16 million acres were converted to pastureland and rangeland. Development accounted for nearly 14 percent of decreases in pastureland and rangeland. Shifts in usage from pastureland and rangeland to development and cultivation cause dramatic changes in condition and hydrology.
Most of the decreases and increases in pastureland and rangeland acreage involved conversion from or conversion to cultivated cropland. Twenty-six percent of decreases in pastureland and rangeland resulted in increases in the amounts of cultivated cropland. And 45 percent of the increase in pastureland and rangeland came from cultivated cropland.
Wetlands are a vital natural resource that provide flood protection and enhance water quality, wildlife habitat, and air quality.
The 1997 data indicate that an annual average of 101,000 acres of wetlands was lost from 1992-97 with almost 69,000 acres gained, for an overall average annual net loss of 32,600 acres per year. Development was the reason for 49 percent of the total losses; agriculture accounted for 26 percent of the losses; silvicultural practices, 12 percent; and miscellaneous, 13 percent-over half of which was due to natural climatic variations, such as drought. Programs designed to restore or enhance wetlands, such as the Wetlands Reserve Program, as well as State, local, and private initiatives on agricultural lands, have resulted in reduced losses.
Nearly 59 percent of wetland acreage is on forestland and 16.5 percent is on agricultural cropland, pasture, and land in the Conservation Reserve Program.
By region, just under 31 percent of wetland acres are in the Southeast, 24 percent in the Midwest; 17 percent in the South Central; 13 percent in the Northeast; 9 percent in the Northern Plains; and 6 percent in the West.

If you are thinking of holidaying in La Jolla, you are going to have a lot to keep you busy during your visit. With so much to see and do in the immediate vicinity, it is a great idea to think about renting self-catering holiday accommodation. Whether you choose to stay in a modest apartment, a family rental home, or perhaps a luxury villa with private pool, sauna and more, you will find this the best way of freeing up your time, making the most of everything La Jolla and its neighbouring locales have to offer and ensuring the perfect family holiday.
The coastline of La Jolla affords a wonderful contrast of features. Particularly where your chosen holiday rental is close to the shore, you will have easy access to a dizzying array of sandy beaches, cliff faces and caves to explore. Visitors to La Jolla who enjoy their golf will have the choice of a number of world class courses on which to play. The stunning Torrey Pines course is penned in by mountains on one side and on the other, by the Pacific Ocean. The Spindrift Beach and Tennis Club allows seasoned golfers to introduce family novices to the sport on the nine-hole course and practise facilities, as well as incorporating tennis courts and refreshment and dining options.
If you are in La Jolla purely to relax and pamper yourself, you may wish to avail yourself of the services of the Gaia Day Spa in La Jolla Village. Alternatively, you may wish to browse one of the local art museums, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, or gaze upon the architecture of the Grande Colonial Hotel. Climbing up to the Mount Soledad War memorial affords magnificent views of La Jolla, San Diego and beyond. When it comes to dining in La Jolla, choice is to be had from a wide variety of restaurants selling local produce, to those specialising in international cuisine. You may also wish to consider, however, visiting the Sunday farmer's market and buying fresh local produce to prepare at your leisure within your rental accommodation.
One of the biggest benefits of any holiday rental accommodation is the freedom it affords you to come and go as you please. This means that you may wish to rent a car in La Jolla and visit the nearby city of San Diego. There are many seasonal events to entertain you and your family but year round attractions such as San Diego Zoo, the huge aquatic themed Mission Bay Park and Seaworld San Diego are likely to provide thrills for all the family, while the Gaslamp Quarter is the place to go for refined shopping, entertainment and fine dining to satisfy the most discerning of palates.

Why the Avs should make a play for Sheldon Souray
At this point to the season, I think it's become clear what one remaining weakness of the Avalanche is, and one that needs to be addressed if it wants any shot at making and/or going deep into the playoffs: the power play.
Specifically, the Burgundy and Blue lack a point man with great PP quarterback abilities, one with a huge slap shot that makes the D back off and creates more garbage rebound goals for the forwards in front. The Avs currently have the 14th best PP in the league, at 18.4 percent. Not horrible, but not good enough, now is it?
The guy with the hardest slap shot on the Avs on D is probably Kyle Quincey, but lately he hasn't even been on the first PP team. Usually, it's been Kyle Cumiskey and John Liles, with Wojtek Wolski sometimes manning another point.
Cumiskey and Liles prefer to pass the puck instead of shoot it, and neither has a booming slapper that scares the opponent. Liles has been better of late, and Cumiskey has had something of a step-up year in his career development. But I just can't see either guy effectively leading the power play the way, say, a Sheldon Souray could.
This is why I think the Avs should make a serious pitch for Souray, the Edmonton veteran. Yes, I know Souray is having a bad year and has had some off-ice drama as well. I know he's 33 and a bit slow and doesn't make a great pass out of his own zone. But I do know he still has one of the most feared slap shots in the game, and he can really play a mean, physical game down low. The Avs could use another guy like that, too.
Souray has a no-trade deal and a cap hit at $5.4 million, with two more years left on a deal that will pay $4.5 million each yeear. Guess who also has two years left on his deal, with a cap hit of $4.1 million and $9.75 million due him over the next two years? That would be Liles.
Therefore, I submit that the Avs should offer Liles to the Oilers, straight up. The Avs would have the cap room to afford Souray's contract, and they get what they most need at the moment. The Oilers get rid of a guy who wants out of Edmonton anyway, and get a younger D-man at a lesser cap hit. What, they can't sell that to their fans, a guy with some proven track who is still young and may blossom with a change of scenery? Yes, I realize that Liles has a limited no-trade contract (which was really foolish of the Avs to agree to), and I'm going to guess that Edmonton isn't on his list of allowable teams to be traded to. But I almost never pay attention to no-trade contracts for players. Because, if a team makes it known it doesn't want you anymore, but you veto any trade, you don't think life isn't going to be made miserable for that guy? That's why players usually waive the no-trade when a team comes to them. I mean, does Liles really want to become the next Tom Preissing around here?
Now, Edmonton probably just wants to unload Souray's salary for a draft pick or two, without taking on a lot of salary in return. But in today's NHL, such deals are so much harder to make, with the salary cap. Deals have to be much closer to a dollars-for-dollars proposition than they used to be.
We all know that Liles was a healthy scratch a couple games late last month. It just seems that the Avs have lost a little patience with him. Maybe a change of scenery is what would be best for his career right now. He's a stand-up guy, a real character guy. But this is a business.
If Liles isn't good enough for the Oilers, maybe I throw in a draft pick, but nothing better than a third-rounder. Let's face it, there are risks in taking on a Souray, and his market value is such that nobody should overpay. But I think he'd work out well here. Besides, the Avs have two young offensive D-men on the way, who could be playing here as early as next year: Boston University's Kevin Shattenkirk and Colby Cohen. They also have Stefan Elliott, the '09 second-round pick, in junior who is having a Norris Trophy type season in the WHL. They effectively replace a guy like Liles in a couple years anyway, and maybe Souray rejuvenates his career here in the meantime.
Think about it, Avs and Oilers. My phone is on for further consultation.

BCA Celebrates Diversity In Hospitality And Culinary Industries
This year, the BCA will be honoring a roster of highly influential industry professionals and restauranteurs.
[Business: Fine Food]
Former New York Knicks shooting guard John Starks will deliver the keynote address-"Getting Back on Track: Eating Healthy and the Urban Community"-at the BCA's Cultural Awareness Salute and Black Tie Gala on Saturday, April 10th, 2010 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City.
Now in its 17th year, this event honors the achievements of people of color in the hospitality and culinary business, provides a space for industry networking and dialogue about the advancement of diversity, and gives culinary students from around the country the opportunity to cook alongside nationally renowned chefs.
This year, the BCA will be honoring a roster of highly influential industry professionals and restauranteurs. Charmain Sithappah, CEO of the Seasoned Pot Company, will be presented with the Jefferson Evans Award for culinary excellence.
The Heritage Award for life-long achievement will be presented to Melba Wilson, owner of Melba's Restaurant and Catering. John Starks, former NBA Knicks shooting guard and President of the John Starks Foundation, will deliver the keynote address and receive the Chairman's Award. The evening will also include special presentations by the Food Network, Drew Nieporent (Owner, Myriad Restaurant Group), and the South African Consulate General.
The gala will begin with a VIP and cocktail reception, followed by a multi-course dinner, Viennese reception, and dancing and entertainment throughout the night. The gala dinner will give a taste of the future of the industry with four courses and wine pairings prepared by students from Johnson & Wales University, South Bronx Job Corps Academy, Prince George Community College, Cordon Bleu Dallas, the Culinary Program at Brooklyn Job Corps Academy, Monroe College, Hudson County Community College, Foodservice Training Academy, Hospitality Management High School's Culinary Arts Program, Career Academy of NY and LI, Culinary Training Institute, Newark Vocational High School, the Academy of Vocational Careers, the University of North Texas, and the Culinary Institute of America. "Students from different schools and different backgrounds come together in the same kitchen and cook in a non-competitive environment," says Alex Askew, President of BCA.
"Those of us who attend are honored to witness the promise of future leaders and work together towards a more diverse industry."
Tickets for the BCA's 17th Cultural Awareness Salute are $200 per person ($300 per person for the VIP reception) and are available by contacting BCA at (212) 643-6570 or via online ticketing at the BCA website: www.bcaglobal.org.

Rolling up to the biggest set of presidential nominating contests so far – Super Tuesday with 10 states voting – Mitt Romney clearly has "Big Mo" on his side, that ephemeral momentum yearned for by anyone who's ever run for office and seen their fortunes ebb and flow.
He's won five events in a row – Michigan, Arizona, Maine, Wyoming, and now Washington State. He's ahead in the delegate count. And he's picked up a long string of endorsements, most recently Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, a leading congressional conservative and number two Republican behind House Speaker John Boehner.
"What I have seen is a very hard-fought primary. And we have seen now that the central issue about the campaign now is the economy," Cantor said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday. "I just think there's one candidate in the case who can do that, and it's Mitt Romney."
To be sure, any assertion that Romney's nomination is inevitable may be perched on wobbly legs.
Delegates won so far are a very small portion of the 1,144 needed to be nominated. (Romney has 180, Rick Santorum 90, Newt Gingrich 29, and Ron Paul 23.)
It's hard to tout your congressional endorsements when you're trying to distinguish yourself from "Washington insiders" Santorum and Gingrich. (Romney has 81 endorsements by lawmakers, Gingrich has 11, Santorum has 4, and Paul has 3.)
And as for his latest caucus victory in Washington State, it was strictly a straw poll in advance of the real delegation selection exercise, which comes later. And even then, as Seattle Times columnist Danny Westneat put it, "There was some real passion on display at the GOP caucuses Saturday. Just not for the winner."
But there's no denying Romney's Big Mo.
[Let us pause here for a point of political trivia: "Big Mo" is the phrase most closely associated with George H. W. Bush, who used it to crow a bit after he had won the Iowa caucuses in 1980. "Now they will be after me, howling and yowling at my heels," he said. "What we will have is momentum. We will look forward to Big Mo being on our side, as they say in athletics." Bush may have had Big Mo at that point, but he had to settle for second place when Ronald Reagan won the nomination and then the presidency.]
Romney won Washington State's beauty contest convincingly, taking 38 percent of the vote while Santorum and Paul duked it out for second place with about 25 percent and Gingrich was an also-ran. Romney is 9.4 points ahead of his GOP rivals in the Real Clear Politics national polling average. And the Intrade prediction market gives him an 85 percent chance of becoming the Republican presidential nominee.
But he'll have a real fight to keep his Big Mo through Super Tuesday.
He's very likely to win Massachusetts (where he was governor), Virginia (because Santorum and Gingrich failed to get on the ballot), and Idaho (where one-quarter of Republican caucus-goers are Mormon). But beyond that, all bets are off.
Gingrich has said Georgia – the state he represented as House Speaker – is a must win for him, and anything but a convincing first place likely would end his campaign. (Five Thirty Eight blogger Nate Silver at the New York Times gives Gingrich a 96 percent chance of winning Georgia, and the Real Clear Politics polling average there has him ahead by 16 points.)
Nate Silver's projections have Santorum ahead in Oklahoma and Tennessee.
For Romney, a strong second in Georgia (which is where most polls have him) and in other states, plus winning Ohio, could be the key to maintaining momentum and strengthening a sense of inevitability.
Although Georgia has more delegates than Ohio, the Buckeye State is seen as the most important among the Super Tuesday contests. It's a Rust Belt swing state, and as the Associated Press points out, no Republican nominee has ever become president without winning the state, making it "a powerful proving ground for the men trying to show they can take on President Barack Obama."
Santorum had been leading in Ohio polls, but the latest voter survey finds the former Pennsylvania senator and Romney dead even there.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Sunday, Romney and Santorum are tied with 32 percent support from likely voters in the Ohio Republican primary.
"This race could really go either way between now and Tuesday," said Ipsos pollster Chris Jackson. "If Mitt Romney is able to close this out and win this race, that gives him a leg up in going all the way to the convention and winning the Republican nomination."

Drove the cage from work to home ( Kokomo-Wabash) tuesday night 25-35 mph, freezing rain and icey. Parked in the drive (I can't park in the garage, too many toys and projects). 1/2" of ice on the drive and very slick. Get up in the morning to just rain, look out to find the car has slid 10' down the drive to the curb at the street. Went out and moved the car back up the drive, went out to get the mail later and saw it slid back down the drive again. Later in the day it warmed to 41 degrees with scattered rain. Just typical Indiana weather.
Merry Christmas!

The conjoined twins who were separated at Medical City Children's Hospital in Dallas have left the hospital for an inpatient rehabilitation center.
Owen and Emmett Ezell left the Dallas hospital eight months after their surgery and a day after turning 9-months-old. Video of their departure from Medical City Children's Hospital appears in the player above.
"I am so excited. I am shaking I am so excited. We have been waiting months for this and it's finally here," said the twins' mother Jenni Ezell, earlier this week.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Doctors hope that the boys can go home for good sometime this summer.
The boys were born in July and were connected from the chest to the belly button. They shared a liver and intestines until doctors at Medical City Dallas Hospital separated them a month later.
They've lived in the neonatal intensive care unit ever since and have each had multiple surgeries and setbacks. Through it all, the boys' parents never lost faith.
"Back when the struggles were the hardest and the struggles were the biggest, basically the way we would keep pressing on without losing it was to talk about having all four boys together," said the boys' father Dave Ezell. "When this is over, we're going to have 4 boys, we're going to be a family."
In the past the hospital had said the boys had to pass three major hurdles to go home -- eating and breathing on their own and fully healing from their surgical wounds.
The hospital said Monday the twins are breathing on their own through trachea breathing tubes and are no longer being fed through an IV, but they continue to be fed through tubes in their abdomens.
While at rehab, the boys' parents will learn to manage those tubes until the boys can eat on their own.
"It's been a dream. We've made it and it's been really hard. I feel like that first 9 months, it's all been emotional, it has been very difficult emotionally," said Jenni Ezell. "But from here out it's going to be very difficult physically. We are going to be exhausted taking care of these boys but it's going to be totally worth it!"
Jenni and Dave Ezell call the twins their "little miracles" and say each step has been part of a greater plan.
"They wouldn't be here if it weren't for God. It's the truth," said Jenni Ezell.
To celebrate the twins' health and success, a small celebration is being planned on Wednesday prior to their departure. Ahead of that celebration, the hospital and Ezell family released new photographs of the now 9-month-old boys on Tuesday.
The family has been chronicling the boys' progress, since their separation surgery in August 2013 on The Ezell Twins blog.
The Ezells are selling T-shirts through their blog that read, "The Works of God Displayed in Them, John 9:1-3."
The funds donated go into a trust fund set up for Emmett and Owen and their direct care.

Several months ago, I found myself on the precipice of committing a crime. I was crouched in darkness with a bunch of Greenpeace activists, preparing to occupy a Shell drilling ship bound for the Arctic. I was suppressing the urge to run for the hills, to leave these greenies to it, to go back to being a mother in the 'burbs. But that very fact – that I am a mother – was also the reason that I was there.
So I went ahead, and in the Auckland District Court this morning, I pleaded guilty to the charge of Unlawfully Boarding a Ship. In fact my activist colleagues and I stayed on that ship for four days doing our utmost – by hanging banners, doing media interviews, or writing blogs - to tell the world that Shell has to be stopped from going to the Arctic.
This afternoon, as I write this, I am a free woman. I've been remanded on bail, to be sentenced in September. For a while, we were all facing burglary charges. This wasn't because we took anything, but because technically, under New Zealand law, by boarding a ship without permission you can be charged with burglary.
No one in their right mind would want to be labelled as a burglar. But had the Police insisted on my being tried under that charge, I would still be just as proud of what I did. When the law allows a company like Shell to flagrantly and knowingly ignore the realities around the impossibility of cleaning up oil in the Arctic environment, or the fact that - thanks to mankind's burning of fossil fuels - there may be no Arctic sea ice by the summer of 2030, then my fellow activists and I had a moral right to (peacefully) break that law.
The Arctic ice cap acts as the world's air conditioner. Scientists warn that without it our children will certainly inherit a world blighted by increasingly frequent extreme weather events, amongst the other many and varied effects of climate change.
Thus, Big Oil's desire to profiteer from its destruction could be termed 'anti-human' - not good business, I would have thought.
And make no mistake; Shell going into the Arctic is a game-changer. It is the first of the big oil companies to move on extreme Arctic oil. It plans to go through with its plunder, even though estimates are that there is only another three years worth of the global oil supply down there. It is clear that we have to move away from fossil fuels anyway, so let's do it while there is still an Arctic to save.
It's time for everyone with an interest in the future – which of course includes all of us - to tell those who would perpetrate these crimes against us, themselves, and all the world's other species, that they must stop. The oil supermajors must stay out of the Arctic, and must stop their rush into deeper and deeper waters around the world.
We must tell the oil companies that their survival depends as much as ours on a shift to clean energy. Anything else is a poisoned cup for our children.Please send your own message to Shell now.
