Would You Rather Be 'Right' Or Realistic?
from the being-right-in-fantasy-land-doesn't-help-much-in-the-real-world deptWe recently wrote about the excellent comic from Matthew Inman's The Oatmeal to highlight how companies turn would-be buyers into infringers by not making the content available. Here's a snippet.
The world does not OWE you Season 1 of "Game Of Thrones" in the form you want it at the moment you want it at the price you want to pay for it. If it's not available under 100% your terms, you have the free-and-clear option of not having it.I was going to write a rather long response to why this is kinda silly, but Marco Arment did a better job than I ever would in explaining the difference between being "right" and being "pragmatic." You really should read the whole thing, because it involves a rather detailed example involving the physical layout of a restroom. I'm going to skip over that part and highlight the summary point, but it's worth reading the full thing:
I sometimes wonder if this simple, grown-up fact gets ignored during all of these discussions about digital distribution.
We often try to fight problems by yelling at them instead of accepting the reality of what people do, from controversial national legislation to passive-aggressive office signs. Such efforts usually fail, often with a lot of collateral damage, much like Prohibition and the ongoing "war" on "drugs"....This point could be seen as the central theme of many of the 40,000 plus posts that have been made on this blog: dealing with reality is always going to be a more effective way to go about things than taking some "moral" stand on how things "should" be. And, if you can deal with the realities and it actually solves the whole moral "I'm right!" part at the same time, what good is it to not deal with realities?
Relying solely on yelling about what's right isn't a pragmatic approach for the media industry to take. And it's not working. It's unrealistic and naive to expect everyone to do the "right" thing when the alternative is so much easier, faster, cheaper, and better for so many of them.
Taking the point even further, there's a simple fact of today's world, which is that consumers have power. Ihnatko's entire point seems to assume that this consumer power is "entitlement." I tend to think of it as consumers making their will known -- and that tends to lead to better products that should make everyone better off. What Ihnatko ignores is that a market is not determined by just one side. It's the interplay between buyers and sellers, and if the buyers aren't happy, they express that to the sellers in certain ways -- and infringement is one of those ways. It's a market signalling method. I'd argue that it's just as much an "entitlement" mentality by the "sellers" to pretend that only they get to decide what the consumer should be able to get, without listening to what the consumer wants.

David Wineke
David "Rocky" Wineke, 66, died Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at University Hospital in Madison after a brief illness.
He lived his life on his own terms – and those terms were pretty good.
They led him to serve his country in Vietnam and to serve his community for 31 years as a Madison police officer.
They led him to 42 years of fortunate marriage to his wife, Susan, to proud parenthood of his sons, Tony and Steven and to be the doting grandfather of Wyatt and Nolan, sons of Tony and Lisa Basile, and to Olivia, daughter of Steven, who, while not literally born into the family was always a treasured granddaughter.
They led him to a lifetime of loyal friendships with high school buddies, professional colleagues, golfing partners and, even, his own seven brothers.
But David's terms were his own terms. For years, he resisted being promoted on the police force, explaining with somewhat rolling eyes that he had no desire to return to working nights and weekends away from his family. His years of service gave him the opportunity to expand patrol to include motorcycle, and was on the original bike patrol, and finally to his dream job of Hit and Run Investigator, which he held until his retirement. When a Dane County coroner was murdered several years ago, David was the first officer through the door to offer help, and continued his life and career with willingness to help others. After years of building a cabin (with no plans on paper) he arrived one day to learn it had burned to the ground, though this was a tragic loss, he almost immediately purchased a mobile home, without ever looking back, it became David and Susan's new vacation home. Enjoyed with family and friends.
He loved to play golf with buddies Rick, Rob and Fred, loved to drink brandy, loved to go on annual "muskey hunts" with buddies Nick and Mike, loved to smoke tiny cigars, loved to drink, loved to smoke and loved to be with his family.
David and Susan Clements were married on June 19, 1971 in St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Madison.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward Wineke and Jennie (Lanigan) Wineke; by Susan's parents, Edwin and Lily (Storteig) Clements; by a brother, Jim; and by an aunt, Dorothy Wineke.
In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by siblings, William, John, Daniella, Michael, Thomas, and Joseph; and an aunt Helen Wineke.
The family expresses gratitude to the staff of the UW Hospital Coronary Intensive Care Unit, the hospital's Palliative Care Unit, and to Dr. Sara Johnson and her staff.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, February 25, 2014, at ST. DENNIS CATHOLIC CHURCH, 413 Dempsey Road, with Fr. Randy Timmerman and the Rev. Bill Wineke presiding. A visitation will be held from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Monday, February 24, 2014, at RYAN FUNERAL HOME, 2418 N. Sherman Ave., and also from 10 a.m. until the time of Mass at the church on Tuesday.

No. 2 UConn women rout Colgate
Recommended Video:
HARTFORD (AP) -- Brianna Banks scored a career-high 20 points and Stefanie Dolson added 18 and No. 2 Connecticut beat Colgate 101-41 on Wednesday, keeping the Huskies undefeated in November for the eighth consecutive year.
Banks hit four of her five shots from 3-point range for UConn (6-0). Kelly Faris also had 17 points, to go along with five rebounds and five assists.
Jhazmine Lynch led Colgate (2-4) with nine points.
The Huskies again dominated down low, outscoring the Raiders 50-2 in the paint. UConn has scored 261 points in the post this season, compared to 54 for its opponents.
UConn has won 45 straight games in the month of November since a 71-65 loss at North Carolina on Nov. 21, 2004.
UConn led from the start, holding Colgate scoreless for the first 3 minutes, jumping out to a 12-0 lead led by three layups from Dolson, who hit seven of her first eight shots.
Faris had 15 points before halftime. Dolson and Banks each had 14. A Faris 3-pointer with 7:30 left in the half gave the Huskies their first 20-point lead at 37-15. They led 49-22 at the break.
The Huskies have not been challenged this season, coming into the game with an average margin of victory of just over 46 points per game.
Connecticut played without sophomore forward Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, who suffered a concussion late in Saturday's win over Purdue. Mosqueda-Lewis had been UConn's second-leading scorer, averaging over 16 points a game.
Coach Geno Auriemma said he hopes to have her back for next Monday's matchup with No. 11 Maryland.
Bria Hartley started in her place. UConn's junior guard was playing in just her fourth game this season after missing a month of practice and the first two games with a left ankle injury.
The win gives UConn president Susan Herbst some family bragging rights. Herbst's brother, Jeffrey, is Colgate's president and was in Hartford to watch the game with his sister. The two exchanged jerseys at midcourt before the tip.
Breanna Stewart, who led UConn in scoring in four of the team's first five games, had 12 points and led the Huskies with eight rebounds. She came in averaging almost 18 points and just over six rebounds per game.
The game was just the second at home for the Huskies this season and the first in the 16,000-seat XL Center. It starts a four-game homestand, which includes matchups against the Terrapins and No. 6 Penn State next week.

Focus on the Global South, November 25, 2012
The Link between Emission Cuts, Right to Development and Transformation of Capitalist System
Humanity is running out of time. If there are no deep and real cuts in the next five years the impacts of climate change will lead to a situation ten times worse than what we have seen with hurricane Sandy and other climate change related events in India, Russia, Philippines and Africa in this past year.
That's what happens with 0.8ºC of global warming, and the current climate negotiations are leading us to a 4ºC to 8ºC scenario.
More than two-thirds of coal, oil and gas should be left under the soil
Different studies say that to limit the increase in temperature to 2ºC, all countries can only emit 565 gigatons of CO2 between 2010 and 2050[1]. At the current rate of 31 gigatons of global CO2 emissions per year, we are going to expend that budget in 15 years.
According to the International Energy Agency, two-thirds of the known reserves of the world's coal, oil and gas should remain underground to have 50 percent chance of staying below the 2ºC limit.[2] If we want 75 percent chance, we have to leave 80 percent of these reserves under the soil.[3]
To not surpass the limit of 565 gigatons of CO2 until 2050, less than 200 gigatons of CO2 can be sent to the atmosphere from 2010 until 2020. Given this calculation, it is unacceptable and illogical to have a "new" agreement that will only be implemented in 2020, while during this decade, when deep cuts are needed, there will be a "laissez faire" situation in emission reductions with a Kyoto Protocol that is much weaker and has shrunk.
Climate negotiations should agree to leave under the soil more than two-thirds of fossil fuel reserves and negotiate mainly how countries are going to exploit and consume the available reserves taking into account a) their historical emissions and b) their per-capita emission in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibility.
The United States, as the main historical emitter, has to reduce its emissions more than the others. All developed countries called Annex 1 parties should cut, until 2020, between 40 to 50 percent of their emissions based on 1990 levels. These commitments should be translated into concrete targets in coal, oil and gas usage per year
The right to development must not be used to promote more consumerist and capitalist societies
The right to development should be understood as the obligation of the states to guarantee the basic needs of the population and their right to enjoy a fulfilled and happy life in harmony with nature, and not as free ticket for a capitalist consumer society that only caters to the excesses of the few while causing the critical financial, social and ecological situation that we are facing now.
China, Brazil, South Africa, India and other emerging economies should also have targets for emission reductions because at present they are becoming great emitters of greenhouse gases. These binding targets should be lower than the targets of Annex 1 parties, following the principles of historical and common but differentiated responsibility.
Developed countries must immediately transfer funds and technology to assist developing countries to undertake mitigation action and to adapt to climate change. Their contributions should be assessed according to their historical and current contributions to GHG emissions and represent at least 10 percent of their military budget for 2013. These funds are necessary not only for GHG emission reduction but also for adaptation and for prevention of damages and losses in developing countries permanently suffering from the effects of typhoons, cyclones, hurricanes, floods and droughts.
Stop the false solutions
Ending subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and limiting fossil fuels use, although key steps and very important, will not be enough. We also need to stop the advancement of all kinds of false solutions that are equally detrimental to humans and nature like: agrofuels, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), Synthetic Biology,deadly nuclear power, and Geo-engineering, land and forest grabs by big business in collusion with governments in the name of forest protection, and carbon credit trading schemes that traders and polluters love.
The corporations behind these inventions are arrogantly and irresponsibly playing with nature and the planet. The goal of Synthetic Biology to create more life forms than those that exist in nature will have catastrophic consequences. The plan of Geo-engineering to pollute the atmosphere with a different gas to counter balance the effect of greenhouse gases will only worsen the situation of the whole Earth System.
No more speculation with carbon markets
Emission cuts have to be real, without loopholes like carbon markets, offsets or hot air. The European Union ETS (Emission Trading System) has demonstrated that the financial sector does not care about climate change. Carbon credits from ETU, CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) or REDD (Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation of forests) are in reality permits to pollute that allow those who are actually contaminating our atmosphere to renege on their obligations. The development of new carbon mechanism for forests, soil and coastal vegetation will only worsen the climate crisis and create new financial bubbles. It is unacceptable that rich countries use climate funding to promote carbon markets through REDD and CDM.
Joint social and environmental struggles to change the balance of forces
The climate crisis caused by the capitalist system is going to be amplified now by its current financial/economic crisis. The capitalist system is seeking to get out of this economic crisis through a process of reconfiguration that implies a new process of exploitation of humans and nature through: a) reduction of social benefits and wages that workers have won through long history of struggles, b) grabbing by corporations of the remaining material part of nature (land, water, forest, minerals, etc.), c) financialization and commodification of the processes and functions of nature (payment for environmental services like REDD, compensation for biodiversity loss, and others), and d) development of technologies to control, patent and profit from biodiversity and ecosystems (e.g. Synthetic Biology and Geo-engineering).
Corporations have captured governments. To confront the interests and power of corporations, our struggle must have as starting point the daily life of the people affected by climate change and not the UNFCCC negotiations. The right to food and water is key component of this fight. A new, intensifying food and water crisis is being triggered worldwide because of climate change. Corporations are seeking to make more profits through food derivatives, GMOs, agrofuels, public-private partnership arrangements in water and other resources, and through other measures. It is only possible to address the issue of food and water if we join social and environmental struggles.
Grassroots mobilizations against coal plants, fracking, tar sands, big dams, land grabbing, water privatization, agrofuels, GMOs, REDD are already showing the way. We need to strengthen these fights, link them and find connection with the social struggles against austerity plans.
Transforming the unsustainable capitalist system
The big challenge of putting a process in place for collective and gradual transformation from fossil fuel-addicted system of consumption and production towards a low carbon society requires also the transformation of the unsustainable capitalist system. The carbon, oil and gas sector can't be led by the logic of private profit. The power of fossil fuel corporations has to be dismantled and societies, not the state-bureaucrats, have to take control over these resources and enterprises.
To change the patterns of consumption and production we need to move beyond the all-dominating, profit-driven and unsustainable capitalist system that exploits people and ruin ecosystems. We need to keep a livable planet—this planet!
The alternatives to cool the planet come from below
A "one size fits all" model like neoliberalism or centralized bureaucratic socialism is not the answer. Instead, diversity should be expected and encouraged, as it is in nature.
Social groups around the world have a series of alternatives that can help cool the planet. Alternatives like food sovereignty and agro-ecology instead of agro toxics and agribusiness; public transport instead of unsustainable production of cars; durable goods with less use of energy and natural resources instead of products designed for over consumption; local production and consumption to avoid the waste of energy in global transport; de-globalization for the people instead of globalization for the corporations; new balance between agriculture and industry as well as between countryside and city to reverse massive urban slums of rural refugees; social and not private management of the fundamental services. Many of these living alternatives have already been tested to work, while some need the space to be implemented and prove their superiority over the proposed false solutions.
To reestablish balance in the Earth System, we need to abandon the anthropocentric vision of capitalism and recognize that we are only one component of nature and that in order to live a healthy life we need to respect the vital cycles, the integrity and the interdependence of nature by recognizing and upholding the rights of Mother Earth.

[3]The current proven reserves of oil, coal and gas all together have a potential of 2,795 gigatons of CO2, which is five times more than the 565 gigatons budget. This implies that at least 2,230 gigatons of CO2of proven reserves of oil, coal and gas should be kept where they are and not be burned. http://www.carbontracker.org/carbonbubble

Derek Hough Talks DWTS, Shawn Johnson and Photography
I think this was meant to be mainly a plug for Derek's involvement in a Nikon campaign,
Derek recently teamed up with Nikon to be part of the company's "Small Moments Are Huge" Facebook campaign, and has been using his Nikon 1 camera to capture daily life at home and on the job. See his photos on Facebook HERE.
But of course ET Online got him talking about DWTS and Shawn. Sooooo….brother/sister but he wants to get some "tension" involved. 🙂 Since he follows with the fact that she's grown up and 20 years old, I think he's talking sexual tension. Walk a fine line, Derek, walk a fine line. 🙂
Those blue eyes!! Amazing.

Which are fossil plants? main content.
The large black slab shows late-Middle to Late Pennsylvanian (~308 to 300 million years old) plants from the famous St. Clair fossil beds of Pennsylvania. The leaf fronds are from the genus Alethopteris, and although they look like ferns, they are actually seed ferns. Seed ferns are not closely related to ferns and went extinct long ago.The small rectangular slab is from the famous limestone fossil quarries of Solnhofen, Germany where Archaeopteryx comes from. But these marks are not fossils. They are what are called manganese-oxide dendrites. These are naturally-forming features that occur when minerals in solution percolate into tiny fissures in rocks and are deposited in a tree-like form. This beautiful plant-mimic grows along fractures in the bedding planes of Solnhofen rocks, and since this is also where the fossils are found, dendrites are often found radiating out from a genuine fossil making it look like it's covered in moss.

Taylor Swift Wins Your Fave International Artist or Group Award at 2013 MuchMusic Awards [Video]
Taylor Swift won her first MuchMusic Video Award tonight (June 16), nabbing the honor for Your Fave International Artist or Group.
Swift likely has a wing of one of her pads dedicated to housing all of her honors and awards, but there's nothing quite like "the first time."
Upon taking the stage to accept her award, T. Swizzle said, "This is my very first MMVA, so I am so excited. I want to thank MuchMusic for playing music videos and giving us a reason to put a visual element to our music." Whoa, was that a bit of a dig at MTV, which barely and rarely plays music videos anymore? Sounded like it!
Congrats, Tay, on taking home your first MMVA.

Dandy Lion: (Re) Articulating Black Masculine Identity, the photography exhibition at Hammonds House Museum is curated by Shantrelle P. Lewis and organized by the Museum of Contemporary Photography. It examines global black dandyism, men with a penchant for color and a taste for refined fashion. Black dandyism originated in England's Age of Enlightenment slave culture and has continued for generations in black cultures around the world. Now, set against the backdrop of hip-hop culture, the newest iteration of dandies is redefining what it means to be black, masculine, and fashionable. Dandy Lion will be on display through May 31 at Hammonds House Museum, 503 Peeples Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30310.
*Note that hours are Wed-Fri from 10am-6pm and Sat-Sun from 1pm-5pm.

The reason for a city's youth rioting for days are no doubt complex and many. But, hey, let's blame video games, because that's exactly what rocker Noel Gallagher is doing.
"We live in this age of violence—and I don't care what other people say: Brutal TV and brutal videogames are a reason for this pointless violence as well," Gallagher told Bang Showbiz. "The people are immune to violence, they are used to it. And if they get caught they aren't punished the right way. The prisons are already full? Then build new ones!"
Meanwhile, a Malaysian student got his jaw broken when his PSP was stolen from him (the suspect has since been arrested). So...not sure how that factors in when you have an innocent gamer getting brutally attacked and has his PSP stolen. It's all a wash.
Gallagher was the former singer songwriter for UK band Oasis; he's now gone solo. This isn't the first time that Gallagher's pinned video games for crime. In 2008, he thought that video games could be behind UK knife crime.
Gallagher does like some video games! He once said that Guitar Hero was "better than two goblins trying to fuck a donkey up the arse with a laser beam."
I like Noel Gallagher better when he talks about stuff he knows and understands and less so when it sounds like he's parrotting the London Evening Standard.

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Mar 19, 2013 / 04:05 pm MT (CNA).- Archbishop Emil Paul Tscherrig, apostolic nuncio to Argentina, celebrated a special Mass of Thanksgiving to offer gratitude and prayers for Pope Francis as he begins his papacy.
The March 17 Mass at the Cathedral of Buenos Aires began a three-day period of prayer for Pope Francis that culminated on March 19 with the official inauguration of his Pontificate.
The hundreds of faithful gathered for the Mass broke out in applause numerous times to express their affection for Father Bergoglio, as he was often called, for his devotion to the Church in Argentina.
The initial applause lasted for more than a minute after Archbishop Tscherrig began his homily recalling those "moments of excitement and waiting" when the name Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio rang out from the loggia overlooking St. Peter's Square.
He offered thanks to God "for the great gift He made to the Church in the person of the Archbishop of Buenos Aires and Primate of the Church," adding that the year he has served as nuncio in Argentina has been sufficient time for him to "admire and appreciate the great human and spiritual charity of this intelligent and lucid archbishop, who is a simple and humble man of justice close to the people."
Archbishop Tscherrig underscored that when Francis asked the people to pray for him before bestowing the apostolic blessing, it was "an unusual gesture of humility aimed at receiving the blessing of the Lord through the intercession of the faithful."
"Who doesn't recall the incessant request he would make at each greeting and at the end each one of his letters? 'Pray for me, pray for me,'" the nuncio said.
"Today dear brothers and sisters, we wish to promise to continue praying for our Pope Francis and accompanying him in the difficult mission that the Lord has entrusted to him with our love and friendship," he added.
"We also send him in Rome our profound gratitude for all the good he has done for the Church in Argentina, for his pastoral goodness and exemplary life," he said.
Archbishop Tscherrig continued: "Each time the Lord gives us a new Pope, He also offers us as a Church a new beginning, and He reminds us that we are also a pilgrim people journeying towards the definitive goal of our lives, which is not in this world."
"On this journey, the Pope is our guide and he has the role of confirming us in the faith," he said. "In his first message to the cardinals Pope Francis pointed out the way. To always walk in the presence of the Lord."
Archbishop Tscherrig also recalled the Holy Father's warning that if the Church does not confess Christ, she will be just another non-governmental organization, but not the Church.
"Let us walk together with the Pope with the light of Jesus Christ" and bear witness by seeing the face of Christ in the poor, the nuncio said.
In conclusion, he read a phrase Pope Francis wrote when he was a young student, shortly before his ordination to the priesthood.
"I believe in my own personal history that was pierced by the loving gaze of Jesus, and I await the surprises of each day that will manifest the love, strength, temptation and forgiveness and that will accompany me until the definitive encounter with this marvelous face."

Depiction of a fetish in South Africa by the London Missionary Society, circa 1900. [Wikipedia]
8-9 June 2012

Material Religion in Modern Britain and its Worlds
This two-day symposium will explore material cultures of religious belief and faith in modern Britain. As Birgit Meyer, David Morgan, Crispin Paine and S. Brent Plate have recently pointed out, studying material objects provides us with an alternative evidence base in the study of modern religious belief (Birgit Meyer et al; 2011). Yet few attempts have yet been made to do so. While many scholars now concede that Britain's religious landscape is more varied and rich than the narrative of secularisation allows, a tendency remains in the historiography of religion to privilege written sources over material manifestations of religion. This means that all sorts of belief practices have been overlooked. Analysing the material past, we propose, will provide scholars with new and exciting ways of understanding the apparently fraught relationship between modernity and religion.
As Jane Bennett points out, objects are culture constructions and lead active lives in our social and cultural landscape. Religious historians have too often been guilty of adopting an implicitly Protestant binary (set up in opposition to Catholicism) in which words are privileged over objects. Yet everyday cultures of Protestant belief in Britain relied on all kinds of material cultures which sustained religion in an age of uncertainty.
Despite Britain's 'official' Protestant past, we are nonetheless keen to encourage papers which explore religious denominations or groups beyond the official canon and which made up Britain's multi-faith landscape in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Papers are welcome which consider either formal or informal aspects of religious materiality. We would especially like to encourage papers that consider 'Britain's worlds', including investigations of religious objects in the Empire or commonwealth or geographical locations inhabited by British people.

Franklin and Whitefield as Opposites
In the most cynical, unsympathetic, and misleading biography I have ever read, there is a magnificent paragraph about Benjamin Franklin and George Whitefield.
The Deist and the Calvinist were best friends. "Franklin became Whitefield's best American friend and, reciprocally, Whitefield was Franklin's only evangelical friend" (The Divine Dramatist, 220).
Here is the diamond paragraph:
Here we see the greatest difference separating the religious worlds of Franklin and Whitefield. For Franklin, the experience of personal friendship could not be translated into an experience of personal faith. The result was profound pessimism. Ironically, Franklin's personal religion was more serious and filled with a sense of ultimate depravity than Whitefield's Calvinistic—but ultimately optimistic—Methodism. Franklin, the outwardly jovial humorist, and Whitefield, the outwardly stern Calvinist, were at heart opposites. In all his activities, Whitefield was forever buoyed by the hope of a caring God, while the unceasingly active Franklin felt forever tortured by the fear that no one took note of his petty "little affairs."

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) � South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier could earn himself another statue if his 13th-ranked Gamecocks defeat No. 12 Clemson this weekend.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) � South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier could earn himself another statue if his 13th-ranked Gamecocks defeat No. 12 Clemson this weekend.
South Carolina (9-2) could pull off its fourth-straight victory in the rivalry, something the Gamecocks have accomplished once in the series that was first played in 1896. Spurrier can also become the program's all-time wins leader with 65 victories, surpassing Rex Enright's mark he tied a week ago.
�I hadn't thought about that too much lately, really,� Spurrier said Tuesday. �Us against them is big enough to talk about, probably.�
Spurrier has joined Paul �Bear� Bryant, as the only coaches to hold such marks at two Southeastern Conference schools. Bryant is the career leader at Alabama and Kentucky.
�Those are one of those where when your coaching days are over you look back and say, �What was his record?�� Spurrier said. �At the moment, I don't think it's that big a deal. The bigness of this game is who wins between us and them.�
With another series win over Clemson (10-1), the Gamecocks will match the feat only accomplished from 1951-54. And it would certainly mean Spurrier's name would replace Enright's on the outside of the spiral ramp at Williams-Brice Stadium, where such achievements are honored.
It took some work to gain control of the rivalry since Spurrier replaced Lou Holtz after the 2004 season. Clemson had won seven of eight before Spurrier's arrival and the head ball coach lost three of his first four matchups with the Tigers.
The past three years, it's been all Gamecocks � and by decisive margins. South Carolina won 34-17 in 2009, 29-7 in its last visit to Clemson and 34-13 last year.
Spurrier believes the turnaround is a result of improved players, better coaches and mistake-free play.
�All that kind of stuff,� Spurrier said. �Every year, you try your best to beat everybody you play. It works out that we've played well the last three years.�
The Tigers are playing well offensively. They've averaged more than 535 yards and 44 points a game this season. They've surpassed 700 yards of offense in two of their past three games, including a 754-yard effort to beat North Carolina State, 62-48, last Saturday.
Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd is seventh national in total offense at 348 yards a game and leads the nation in point responsibility. He's thrown 33 touchdowns and rushed for eight more.
Spurrier knows a thing or two about offense and is very impressed.
�If they could have held on down there at Florida State that game, we'd be talking about these guys playing for the national championship,� he said. �Tajh Boyd would be up for the Heisman Trophy.�
The difference in Clemson's stretch run, coach Dabo Swinney said is Boyd's growth. He's better at managing the system, improved his running skills and maneuverability and makes fewer mistakes than other seasons.
�I don't know of a quarterback in the country playing better than Tajh Boyd,� Swinney said. �I can't imagine a player who means more to his team than this guy.�
The Gamecocks chances could hinge on a couple of lingering injuries. Quarterback Connor Shaw, who accounted for 317 yards in last year's game, won't practice much this week with a recurring foot problem. The injury could have kept him out of last week's game against Wofford had Shaw told the coaches how much it hurt.
�He kept saying he was alright and he'd finish out,� Spurrier said.
Star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, already dealing with a foot problem, had an MRI that uncovered a bruise beneath a kneecap. Defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward expected Clowney, third in SEC sacks, back in the lineup after missing the Wofford game.
If it's a rivalry week, count on a zinger from Spurrier. This time, the head ball coach played off Swinney's rant following last year's defeat that �Carolina is in Chapel Hill and USC is in California. The university in this state, always has been, always will be -- Clemson.�
Spurrier said Tuesday those words didn't bother him much.
�I guess Dabo, I found out he loves Southern California and the University of North Carolina,� Spurrier cracked. �That's the only thing I know about him.�

One lucky commenter from each day's hop will win the sets and dies featured that day, so be sure and leave a little love in the Divasphere! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize details and deadlines.
I saw a photo, the other day, of a bowl of dried sprigs, and immediately the new leafy sprigs images and coordinating die came to mind. I thought, why not duplicate that image with paper. It's so fun and easy with the Leafy Sprigs die. All I did was stamp the Leafy Sprigs images, from the set Sunny Days, with French Roast pigment ink from Amuse, diecut them with the Leafy Sprigs Die Set, and crinkle them up a bit to give depth and texture.

Pre-Law Advisement Program
Mission of the Program
The ultimate goal of the program is to provide students who are interested in law and plan on attending law school with an academically-rigorous and well-rounded understanding of legal concepts and the practice of law. From a springboard of several law content courses offered through the department of political science, students can also sample within the minor from similar law-related courses in criminal justice, history, philosophy, and sociology. Together, the minor provides the student with exposure to the topics, rigors and analytical approaches needed by the successful law student, attorney and legal advocate.

The team of OEnavigator,Cacheslayer, Cardinal and myself found this cache on 3-1-08,it's been nearly three years since a find.We loaded it

hike and adventure. Red Ink
Red ink, cacheslayer, cardinal and OEnavigator, I admire your abilities and determination. Actually, I'm a little jealous. A 5 mile hike on flat ground is enough to do me in.
It seems to me that leaving 11 trackables in a cache that requires a 5-6 mile hike and 1899 ft. elevation climb with cliffs to scale and no trail to follow is not a wise thing to do. How many people are going to make a hike like that these days? At the rate it get's visited, how long will it take all 11 trackables to be moved? Possibly years. I'm trying to look at it from the owner's standpoint who like to see their trackables move around a lot. Let's hope that the next person who does make the hike will retrieve all 11 and get them back in circulation.
I hope that leaving the trackable there would encourage some one to go get them.Originally Posted by Geezer_Veazey
Out of the 11 trackables 7 were jeeps and 1 was my personal coin. By
the way we met two benchmark hunters at the summit,and I've had
emails on waypoints to the top.
i'm with Geezer on this one. i dont usually move trackables at all, but out in colorado i would always 'rescue' one or two every fall from caches that werent likely to be visited again for months because of winter snows. neither would i like to have my own TB stranded for months in a cache. i would prefer that it kept moving. and some trackables have missions, places to go, races to win, etc.
Here in N.W. AR. trackables are becoming missing at an alarming rate.I would rather see my trackables sit in a more remote area than on a display table . I've come to realizr by dropping them in a harder cacheOriginally Posted by HikerRon
they will have better care. I have had to contact many people about my personal coins and such,I usually give them about two months or so before I email them, the most common answers are as follows:
I retrieved from the depths of my car seat.
I found it in the bottom of my daypack
Someone grabbed it off of the display trackables table.
It's only been 4 day's since they were dropped SugarLoaf,so let's give them a chance. Just my opinion on the subject. Red Ink
hey, no harm intended. to each his own, so to speak.
i've had bad luck with TBs myself. i've lost 3 of the 4 i've launched. the only one remaining took off to Europe right after i placed it, and it's been bouncing around over there for almost 3 yrs now! currently, it's in England.
i've never gotten into the geocoin thing...but apparently they are worse than TBs about disappearing. collectors, i guess.
No harm taken,Originally Posted by HikerRon
everyone has their own opinion and I respect your's and Geezer's to the utmost,and am glad you posted your thoughts.Red Ink
Since I had the FTF on this cache and I was smart and used a 4 wheeler LOL if they sit there too long I'll take the 4 wheeler bc I found an easier way up and go rescue them.
If your not living life on the edge your taking up too much space!!!!!!
I know you had the ftf on the cache,and it was impressive,especially doing it alone! a four wheeler would be handy now because of the gate issue causing the extra hike, the road in is extermely bad shape,If we could have gotten past the gate, I would not have taken my jeep much past the waypoints given for the 2wd parkings, you need a good rock crawlerOriginally Posted by arkansas_stickerdude
in two places, you might make it to the 1100' mark at best on a four wheeler,I hope that there is an easier way but the five of us couldn't
find it, and we researched it for a month. Red Ink

Based on research in 2012 by a California-based Web app security company, 99 percent of tested Web apps used by both the public- and private-sector are vulnerable to attack.
Cenzic, a California-based Web application security company, released these findings in its February 2013 report, which also details why these vulnerabilities aren't getting better.
Technology is available to help developers test their software during development and production so creators understand the flaws before releasing these products to public- and private-sector customers, but budget constraints often prevent them from completing these assessments.
"Ultimately I've heard many stories of organizations saying they don't even want us to scan their applications because they don't have the budget to fix what they find," said Scott Parcel, chief technology officer of Cenzic, which offers such a tool.
This alarming trend has continued for a while, according to the company, which also found that 99 percent of Web applications tested in 2011 had vulnerabilities, though one significant difference was in the median number of vulnerabilities found per application: 13 vulnerablities found in 2012, down from 18 in 2011.
Cenzic touts these findings as a warning to information security and application development personnel that hackers can easily exploit what's built.
Vulnerabilities detected include the following:
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) – 26 percent
- Information leakage and session management – both 16 percent
- Authentication and authorization – 13 percent
- Cross-site request forgery – 8 percent
- SQL injection – 6 percent
- Web server version – 5 percent
- Remote code execution – 5 percent
- Web server configuration – 3 percent, and
- Unauthorized directory access – 2 percent.
The report didn't disclose the number of Web applications tested, and a Cenzic spokesperson wouldn't disclose the number of apps tested for security and proprietary reasons – but the spokesperson stated that it was in the thousands. The report also states that Cenzic's managed security team gathered the data during an analysis of applications in production.
Parcel said he feels that the public sector could play a role in fixing some of these problems, but he's unsure if the government will act.
"Government efforts around cybersecurity [are] to try to invest in improving things for the whole country, not just for the government," Parcel said, though he didn't name any specific actions the government has taken or attempted. "And that, I see, is woefully mis-coordinated and really just not tackling the problem. They keep making all kinds of bold announcements, and then not doing much in the realm of Web application security."
Dan Lohrmann, Michigan's chief security officer and director of cybersecurity and infrastructure protection, mostly agreed with these comments.
"The CTO of Cenzic is probably correct, but similar things could also be said on many other aspects of cybersecurity across most governments," Lohrmann said via email. "I do agree that Web application security lags behind other security areas."
But according to Lohrmann, the public sector is at a disadvantage when it comes to cybersecurity in general, and he referenced a 2012 study by Deloitte and NASCIO to support this point.
"As the NASCIO-Deloitte study indicates, state and local governments struggle to get the resources and buy-in to do a long list of 'priorities," he said. "I don't believe this is uniquely true of Web application security."

1 - LM's newest thing is to practice longboarding on the driveway (which she can still do because this winter weather is crazy mild. Where is all the snow?!). It's fun to watch her grow in her abilities and confidence the older she gets. It seems just like yesterday she was a toddler and I would sit her on this board and push her back and forth across our old driveway.
2 - I wish I could bottle Lark up right at this moment. She is my independent, hilarious child who can do so many things for herself and makes me laugh all day long, but she is also still my baby girl who will wrap up in her "purple blankie," ask me to sing her a song and fall asleep in my arms. The best of both worlds.
3 - Tommy has entered the next stage of baby hood and now sits up and eats solid foods. He is the happiest little dude. I am enjoying this active, but non-mobile stage while it lasts because I know the next stage is going to be busy!

Police: Owings Mills mom sought help before death
Officials: Katie Hadel afraid of suspected killer Jeffrey Shiflett
Baltimore County police said a woman who was found slain in her Owings Mills apartment on Tuesday had sought police help because she was afraid of the man who has since been arrested and charged with killing her.
Katie Hadel, 33, was found stabbed to death in a bedroom in her apartment on Wellhaven Circle around 10 p.m. Tuesday. Police said two young children, including Hadel's 3-year-old daughter, were in the home with her, but were unharmed.
On Wednesday morning, police arrested Jeffrey Shiflett, 33, of Annapolis, after he was found walking in the Reisterstown area. He was charged with first-degree murder in Hadel's death and is currently being held without bail.
Police said Hadel and Shiflett were acquaintances from several years ago, but they don't believe the two had anything romantic going on between them.
Detectives said Shiflett was just released from prison in December and that there have been several warrants out for his arrest since then. Officials said Hadel had told police that he'd threatened her by phone numerous times.
Police said they met with Hadel and her mother five days before she was killed to come up with a plan meant to keep her safe. Investigators said Hadel had agreed to stay at her mother's home in Reisterstown -- but she didn't follow that plan.
"Police agreed to make regular stops several times a day to check in at the mother's house to make sure everything was OK. This is where we believed that the victim was; however, without notifying police, she returned to her home in the Pikesville precinct, where the suspect knew that she lived," police spokeswoman Elise Armacost said.
Family members told 11 News that Hadel went back to the apartment in Owings Mills on the night she was killed because she'd agreed to babysit there.
Hadel was married, but her husband was out of town at the time of the slaying, police said.

>For military and commercial diving, a cardiac pacemaker is invariably considered a disqualification.
>For sport divers, however, the limited medical literature available on the topic takes a more rational, but defensive approach. Each diver or dive student must be evaluated individually. The two most important factors to take into account are:
>1. Why is the individual dependent on a pacemaker? and
>2. Is the individual's pacemaker rated to perform at depths (i.e., pressures) compatible with recreational diving, including an added margin of safety?
>As with any medication or medical device, the underlying medical problem determines one's fitness to participate in scuba diving after a cardiac pacemaker is implanted. Having a permanent pacemaker in place usually indicates a serious disturbance in the heart's own conduction system. If this is due to damage of the heart muscle itself, as is often the case when an individual suffers a large heart attack, the individual may lack the cardiovascular fitness to safely perform in the water.
>Some individuals, however, depend on a pacemaker because of an identified rhythm disturbance or chronic abnormality in the conduction system. The area of the heart that generates the electrical impulse (resulting in the mechanical contraction that moves blood) may function inconsistently or inadequately.
>Alternatively, the circuitry that conducts the electrical impulse to the rest of the heart may be faulty, resulting in improperly or irregularly conducted signals. Without the assistance of a pacemaker, the individual may suffer syncopal (fainting) episodes. Other individuals may have suffered a heart attack with minimal residual damage to the heart muscle, but the heart's conducting system remains unreliable.
>If a diver's cardiologist determines that his/her level of cardiovascular fitness is sufficient for safe diving (i.e., exercising to a level of 13 mets or greater on a standard treadmill test) and the pacemaker is rated to function at 130 fsw equivalent pressures or greater, that individual may be considered fit for recreational diving. It is essential, however, that divers with cardiac issues check with their doctor before diving.
>A cardiac pacemaker is implanted in the individual's subcutaneous tissue and will be exposed to the same ambient pressures as the diver. For diving, an adequate pacemaker must be rated to perform at least a maximum depth of 130 feet / 40 meters and must operate satisfactorily during conditions of relatively rapid pressure changes - e.g., ascent and descent.
>All that being said, the most common reason people depend on pacemakers is underlying ischemic* heart disease. A significant number of recreational diving fatalities each year are attributable to coronary artery disease. Diving often takes place in remote locations far from facilities that provide emergency cardiac care.
>While each individual's health status must be considered on a case-by-case basis, divers or dive students with significant cardiovascular disease and less-than-optimal exercise tolerance should be discouraged from participating in scuba diving. Remember, the individual must not only have adequate exercise tolerance for safe diving under routine conditions, but must also possess enough cardiovascular reserve to safely perform at the higher level needed in emergency situations.

An intrauterine device (IUD) is a method of birth control that is
placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is not clearly understood how
the IUD prevents pregnancy, and different types of IUDs may prevent pregnancy
in different ways.
All IUDs have a plastic string that extends through the opening of
the cervix into the vagina. The string allows a woman to check that the IUD is
in place. It also allows a health professional to remove the device at the
woman's request or at the end of its effectiveness (usually anywhere from 5 to
10 years, depending on the type).
The IUD is very effective at preventing pregnancy.

Over 200 entries were submitted to the Fort Bend Star's photo contest. When the dust had settled we had chosen one winning entry for each of the six categories. These winners and several runner's up in each category have 60 days to pick up their prizes. Each category winner will get a certificate for a FREE 2-night stay at the Victorian Condo-Hotel on Galveston Island. These winners should pick up the certificate as soon as possible and plan their trip as the Summer weekends book up fast. Certificates must be used before December 31, 2011 and are not valid during Galveston or National holidays. The runners up printed in today's newspaper will receive a gift certificate to either Las Haciendas or Outback Steakhouse. It was very tough judging these quality entries. Some category winners and runners up received "extra points" for including other category criteria, either realized by them or not that may have pushed them over the edge. You can visit our web site for all finalist entries.

According to www.thebakertrail.com ,The trail will stretch from Gondokoro, the location of the modern day capital of the new nation of South Sudan to Baker's View overlooking Lake Albert in western Uganda. Fisher will be in Uganda in June 2013 to start placing historical markers at locations where Sir Samuel and Lady Florence Baker camped while on expedition in the Central African region during their two expeditions in the 1860's and 1870's.
In January-February 2013, during Phase Two of The RailRider's 2012-16 Great African Expedition, Fisher and his team that included David Baker, the great-great-grandson of Sir Samuel Baker were accredited with correcting maps of Uganda by establishing the true location of Baker's View, the location where Sir Samuel Baker became the first European to see Lake Albert and to subsequently name the lake for Prince Albert.
The concept for 'The Sir Samuel and Lady Florence Baker Historical Trail' evolved out of Fisher's two year research of Sir Samuel Baker in preparation for Phase One & Two of 'The RailRider's 2012-16 Great African Expedition'.
Quoting David Baker from Chirton, Wiltshire, United Kingdom, "Sir Samuel Baker and Lady Florence Baker's achievements are to be commemorated by the establishment of a trail through South Sudan and northern Uganda to Baker's view of Lake Albert.
The trail follows the shoreline of Lake Albert northwards to the Victoria Nile and the mighty Murchison Falls and up the river to the Karuma Falls. This is the bold vision of Julian Monroe Fisher who, in early 2013, travelled along the trail in the footsteps of Sir Samuel Baker. It will take energy, determination and resources to achieve this; our example is Sir Samuel Baker, so we are sure it will come about!"
Quoting Fisher, "The Bakers are respected in South Sudan and Uganda for their 1860's and 1870's expeditions and their effort to abolish the slave trade. Today South Sudan and parts of northern Uganda are emerging from years of conflict. In South Sudan the population is struggling to clean up the landmines of the conflicts of the past in order to move forward to a bright future. The future of the region lies in the success of projects like 'The Sir Samuel and Lady Florence Baker Historical Trail'.
With the support of Honorable Minister Maria Mutagamba, Executive Director Dr. Andrew Ggunga Seguya the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the Baker Family, RailRiders Adventure Clothing and Costa Del Mar Sunglasses, the Uganda portion of 'The Sir Samuel and Lady Florence Baker Historical Trail' will be launched in January 2014 to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Baker's expedition. This will be a visual sign of the region, expressing to the world that northern Uganda and South Sudan are "open for business".
During the announcement of the project in Vienna, Austria, Fisher said, "The beauty of the people as well as the landscape should be reasons enough to visit the region sooner than later. 'The Sir Samuel and Lady Florence Baker Historical Trail' provides the adventure traveler a route through a spectacular scenery and to historical places, that can be accessed by 4 x 4's, mountain bike and also by hiking and will some day be recognized similar to the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Trail in the USA.

Atom Factory CEO Troy Carter manages artists — most famously, Lady Gaga — and invests in tech founders like those at Uber, Fab, Spotify and Summly.
"My portfolio is schizophrenic," said Carter, "but the common denominator is dynamic founders." At that moment, he was talking tech, but he may as well have been talking music — where he also manages John Legend and new sensation Lindsey Stirling, who plays violin over dubstep.
At D: Dive Into Mobile, Carter described the evolution of the music industry as a continuing power shift from labels to artists to fans.
Now artists find relationships with their fans across different mediums, be it on Twitter or YouTube or by touring the world.
Carter agreed that everything is going mobile — though it's not there yet. Lady Gaga's next album will be released in the form of a free app with in-app music downloads, as well as on iTunes and CD.
"The physical CD will take a while to go away," Carter said — but not really that long. "The whole experience will be mobile within three to five years," he said.
Carter described a balance between artists using larger social media services and creating their own online spaces for diehards to connect (which is what his other company, Backplane, does).
"The likes are cheap, and it doesn't really mean it's a real relationship," Carter said. "The way we're looking at it is how do we own that relationship … [But] they're complementary. You don't live on an island."

Mercy, Unbound
Antieau, Kim. 2006. Mercy Unbound
Mercy is a fifteen year old girl with an eating disorder; she's on the verge of starvation when her parents send her to a treatment facility in New Mexico. But these facts, clearly evident to the reader, allude the patient in question.
Kim Antieau has created an incredible novel narrated by Mercy. Seen through her eyes, her warped, diseased perspective, Mercy is not sick. She doesn't need treatment. Her problem? No one believes what she holds to be true. Mercy is an angel-in-disguise whose wings are always days away from sprouting on her back. She feels the wings itching beneath the surface. She sees the world differently. She feels that once she is an angel she can help people...she could help ease some of the world's pain. As a human, she's useless...but as an angel there's endless possibilities for her to change the world. Food just stands in the way of her destiny. Angels don't eat. And she is almost there. If only people wouldn't pressure her, they would see the truth...
Mercy's breakthrough from almost-insanity to recovery leads the reader on an exciting, realistic journey of the psychological impact of eating disorders.

Artist + George DolgyFollow this artist
I was born in the USSR in 1960. I graduated from college and worked for a few years as an architect in my Ukrainian hometown. In 1989, I came to Philadelphia as a political refugee, and went back to school. I graduated from the architectural program at Temple University in 1992, and I've been working as an architect ever since.
My professional work was unable to satisfy my creative urge. I wanted to express myself freely, without constraints of the budget and building codes. I attended private painting classes for seven years and worked in my own studio in Philadelphia for eleven years. It was there that I developed my own unique painting style.
For the last four years, I have lived and worked in New Orleans. I create my paintings at Studio Inferno at 3000 Royal Street in the Bywater. I love New Orleans and hope to contribute to its diverse and growing artistic community.

Dear friends,
I'm new here and I'm not sure if my question might seems so dummy to you so excuse me if it's not a right place to ask it.
I used nikto for a site (not mine). I paste some lines here:
+ OSVDB-0: GET /scripts/samples/details.idc : See RFP 9901; www.wiretrip.net
+ OSVDB-396: GET /_vti_bin/shtml.exe : Attackers may be able to crash FrontPage by requesting a DOS device, like shtml.exe/aux.htm -- a DoS was not attempted.
+ OSVDB-0: GET /cgi-perl/handler.cgi : Variation of Irix Handler? Has been seen from other CGI scanners.
+ OSVDB-0: GET /cgi-perl/finger.pl : finger other users, may be other commands?
+ OSVDB-0: GET /cgi-perl/get32.exe : This can allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands remotely.
+ OSVDB-0: GET /cgi-perl/gm-authors.cgi : GreyMatter 'password' file, that controls who can post. This contains login and password information and is installed mode 666 by default. See http://www.attrition.org/~jericho/wo...reymatter.html for more info.
+ OSVDB-0: GET /cgi-perl/photo/protected/manage.cgi : My Photo Gallery management interface. May allow full access to photo galleries and more. Versions before 3.8 allowed anyone to view contents of any directory on systems.
+ OSVDB-0: GET /cgi-perl/wrap.cgi : possible variation: comes with IRIX 6.2; allows to view directories
+ OSVDB-0: GET /firstname.lastname@example.com : PHP Config file may contain database IDs and passwords.
and much more.....Now think that the site is:www.mmm.biz
I tried:www.mmm.biz/cgi-perl/gm-authors.cgi after I saw this result:
"+ OSVDB-0: GET /cgi-perl/gm-authors.cgi ....."
but the site says:
"The page you requested could not be found...
Click here to continue"
Now my question is that what's the interpretation of nikto results? Where did he get /cgi-perl/gm-authors.cgi if it does not exists? or where can I access to this directory or others?
I searched a lot for an interpretation example of nikto results but I didn't found anything. Please let me if you know any.
Thanks a lot

Scout's life celebrated with Beatles song
NEWTOWN -- Benjamin Andrew Wheeler was remembered by family and friends Thursday at a packed funeral service here as a rambunctious Tiger Cub Scout who loved the Beatles and lighthouses.
Wheeler, 6, was an inspiration to his parents, who thanked members of the community and Trinity Episcopal Church "who cared for him in that `wipe that nose kinda way.' "
Two congregants, Mary Birdsong and Kimberly Ann Evans, sang the Beatles song, "Here Comes the Sun," to tearful eyes and drawn faces in the wooden pews and along the church walls.
Wheeler's life was taken in the unfathomable tragedy last week at Sandy Hook Elementary School that stunned the nation.
"This has been a time that none of us have lived through before. It is inexplicable in human terms," the Rev. Kathleen Adams-Shepherd told an overflow crowd at the church that included Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
She remembered Wheeler as a boy with inexhaustible energy, and gathered children in the church at the railing before the altar to hand out lighthouse-shaped Christmas ornaments as a remembrance.
The reverend told the congregation that Wheeler's life was cut too short by a "sick young man with access to weapons that should never, ever be in a home."
Born in New York, Wheeler was growing up in Connecticut where he attended Sandy Hook Elementary School and was active in Scout Den 6.
Scout leaders from Connecticut and New York attended the funeral for Wheeler, one of two Scouts killed in the shooting last week. A funeral for Jack Pinto, 6, was held Monday.
The Scout leaders, holding banners, stood stoically, lining the front entrance of the church.
Those attending the funeral openly wept throughout the service, held in the stone structure erected in 1870.
An overflow of people stood on the lawn outside. Across the street was a throng of media and cameras.
A private burial followed.
A large number of relatives were joined by friends of the family as they shared their grief on a day when five memorial services were held for victims of the massacre.
"Gracious God, we come before you this day in pain and sorrow," Adams-Shepherd said. "We grieve the loss of Benjamin, a precious human life."

Marital bliss may bulk up your well-being but it also tips the scales when it comes to weight, according to a new four-year study.
Reporting in the journal Health Psychology, researchers find that relationship satisfaction is linked with an increase in body mass index over time. By contrast, when couples are less satisfied in their marriage, or even contemplating separation, they're significantly less likely to incur the weight penalty of their happier counterparts.
"It's pretty well-established that marriage is associated with weight gain, and divorce is associated with weight loss," said Andrea Meltzer,assistant professor of psychology at Southern Methodist University in Texas. "But the extent to which satisfaction plays a role hasn't been examined until now."
The outcome of the study was uncertain from the start.
Prior research has found that satisfying relationships are actually helpful in promoting good health practices. But Meltzer notes that those studies focused more on behaviours – such as taking medication on time or getting an annual physical – than weight.
Literature on mating, meanwhile, has shown that weight-maintenance is motivated primarily by a desire to attract a partner. From this perspective, it makes sense that keeping svelte could be a function of dissatisfaction, and a desire to get back on the market.
To test which of these models held true, Meltzer and her co-authors tracked 169 newlyweds (married within the previous six months) for four years, checking in biannually to assess such measures as height, weight, marital satisfaction, stress, steps toward divorce and so on. Upon analyzing the results, they found that more satisfied couples gained more weight – even controlling for confounding factors such as pregnancy.
"It was a relatively small amount of weight," said Meltzer, who used changes in body mass index to assess this. "But we only looked at a snapshot of the first four years; if you take one of those happy marriages that go on for 20, 30, 40 years, it could potentially become unhealthy."
In fact, a 2007 study of nearly 8,000 people found that over a five-year period, married men gained six more pounds than their same-aged bachelor buddies, while wedded women gained nine more pounds than their single counterparts.
As for why a happy marriage is correlated with a heavier physique, researchers can only speculate.
"What I think is happening is that people are thinking about weight-maintenance in terms of appearance as opposed to health," said Meltzer. "The individuals who were buffered from weight-gain were the ones who were considering going back into the mating market and having to find a new partner, which suggests it has something to do with looks."
The sheer stress of a breakup is also known to make the poundsmelt off. And in a recent study out of Rutgers University, it was found that women in low-quality relationships were more likely to crash diet.
Meltzer suggests that happy couples who consider weight in terms of health, as opposed to appearance, may be able to avoid the costs at the scale. But she also cautions that happy couples whose pants-size has crept up over the years can't discount the effects of, say, eating a quarter-pounder every day.
"There's more than just relationship satisfaction accounting for increased weight over time," she said, laughing.

Satellite galaxy orbits versus cold dark matter
Observed orbits of satellite galaxies around host galaxies continue to be inconsistent with simulations based on the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) model. Mainstream scientists believe that approximately a quarter (25%) of the Universe is made of an invisible and as-yet detected substance called "dark matter". Dark matter supposedly explains not only the rotation of stars within galaxies but also the rotation of satellite or "dwarf" galaxies around other larger host galaxies. According to the […]

Meet your newest nerd crush: "Cowboys & Aliens" star Ana de la Reguera.
The alluring actress has probably already caught your eye in one format or another: she's been a top star of telenovelas, TV series and films in her native Mexico, she's been a commercial face for Cover Girl and Kahlua, and she was Kenny Powers' love interest in the latest season of HBO's "Eastbound and Down." But it's her role in director Jon Favreau's highly anticipated sci-fi/Western mashup this summer that's likely to get you seriously Googling her this summer.
"Just being there, I never got used to it, to be honest," de la Reguera tells PopcornBiz. "Every day waking up and thinking that I was going to work with Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Sam Rockwell and Olivia Wilde –it was crazy! I never got used to it, to tell you the truth. Every time I was looking at them acting, I was like, 'Oh!' – and I was in the same scene."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"I play Sam Rockwell's wife," she reveals. "It's like a period film with aliens, so it's very interesting. We own this saloon and we're pretty much in love. My husband, Sam, he's like the sweet guy, the sensitive guy, and I always worry about him because in the saloon there's always a lot of danger."
De la Reguera admits that while her fangirl side almost overwhelmed her while working alongside the iconic Indiana Jones and James Bond, she was thrilled to discover a simpatico side of Ford she hadn't expected. "I was surprised that he has a very good appetite," she laughs. "Every time he was eating next to me he put a LOT of spice on his food. So I was happy for that because I'm Mexican. I was like, 'Yeah. I like that!'"
The off-screen side of Craig also revealed something unexpected. "He's just goofy and he's always laughing and has a great sense of humor," she says. "Also, his behavior is like a James Bond. He's naturally an action guy. He's an amazing actor and can play everything, but at the same time when you see him doing those scenes he's just perfect for that. I was surprised because sometimes you think it's the camera and they cut a lot – No. He does the whole thing, and it's amazing."
