WATCH: Lance Bass and fiancé discuss growing support for marriage in the South
March 13, 2014
As a born-and-bred Mississippian, musician and author Lance Bass knows what it's like to be gay in the South - and he knows that in the past few years, the change has been palpable. More and more, Southerners are coming to support the freedom to marry for same-sex couples and understand that marriage matters for all families. A poll from The Washington Post-ABC News last week actually demonstrated, for the first time, that 50% of voters in the South support marriage for same-sex couples.
Lance and his fiancé, Michael Turchin, explain more about that increasing support for the freedom to marry in Mississippi and beyond in a new video for Southerners for the Freedom to Marry.
"We're here; our feet are planted here in Mississippi, and we can tell you by experience that there's tons of support down here," Lance says in the video. "Growing up in the South and seeing how change is definitely happening down here way faster than I ever thought it would happen here, I think we have grown leaps and bounds … This is where we need to start taking it to the next level. We need to open the dialogue about this."
The video featuring Lance and Michael is the second in a series of web videos for Southerners for the Freedom to Marry, the $1 million campaign Freedom to Marry launched last month in partnership with 15 state and regional organizations dedicated to equality for LGBT people in the South. Lance Bass is one of 13 honorary co-chairs of the bipartisan program, which also include U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, Congressman John Lewis, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Mark McKinnon (chief adviser to President George W. Bush), and TV producers Harry Thomason & Linda Bloodworth-Thomason. The previous video, featuring Rep. John Lewis, is a moving reflection from a civil rights legend on why marriage matters for all families. Watch it HERE.

Video Demo: Conservation of Mass
How the heck do you teach the conservation of mass to 8th grade students? Lab activities are always good, but what lab activity can be done without the students getting super confused? Two components are required. First, a chemical reaction is needed. It must use simple chemicals, and it should be obvious that a chemical reaction took place. Second, it must be easily quantifiable. In other words the mass is easy to measure and it must show very clearly that mass was not lost during the chemical reaction. I think I may have finally developed a lab activity that addresses both components. Watch the video and download the student worksheet for more details.

Desi loves nothing more than a nap on Saturday afternoons. So while he's communing with the z's, I curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and whatever's cooking on public television. One of my favorite shows is Rick Bayless's Mexico: One Plate at a Time.
Mexican food is very vegan-friendly, notwithstanding appearances, and as I watch this show– and any other– my mind is constantly thinking of ways to swap out the meat for something delicious and plant-based. Recently, as I watched Bayless rave about quesadillas made with wheat tortillas and how pork fat added to the dough makes the most "savory quesadillas imaginable," I couldn't stop thinking, there has to be something to rival that– no, better that– in the plant world.
The answer was already in my kitchen, and even better, it was perhaps more Mexican than pork fat– avocado.
The buttery Avocado makes a perfect substitute for fat in breads. Some of you have already tried my Avocado Brioche, one of the early recipes to feature here on Holy Cow!, where the avocados stand in for the butter to create a flaky, buttery, butterless brioche. But the fat in avocados, unlike animal fats, is incredibly heart healthy. Avocados also contain multiple vitamins, potassium and folate. And just as you begin to think that they can't get any more virtuous, they go and surprise you by being one of the most delicious foods you will ever eat. Try and beat that, pork fat!
To make my quesadillas truly savory and bursting with sunny Mexican flavor, I pureed up the avocados with some mint and a jalapeno pepper before mixing them in with the dough. The result was flaky and crispy and supremely delicious. And the fun didn't stop there. I made some tomato chutney spiked with the fire of chipotle peppers and stir-fried some rainbow chard and red peppers to stuff into my quesadillas. To hold it all together, I topped off the fillings with some grated vegan queso. Yum.
One tip on grating the vegan mozarella: freeze the cheese for at least an hour before you attempt to grate it– it grates perfectly and melts easily when added to the quesadilla. You could, of course, leave out the cheese and still have an impossibly delicious quesadilla.
Enjoy, all!
Savory Avocado and Herb Tortillas
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour (this is important if you want a flaky, crispy tortilla. An all-wheat tortilla will be tasty but will be soft and not quesadilla-like)
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pit removed, then passed through a potato ricer or mashed smooth.
10 mint leaves
1 jalapeno or other fairly hot green pepper
Water for kneading
Salt to taste
Place the flours and salt in a bowl.
In a blender, process the avocado, mint and jalapeno until you have a fairly fine paste. Use water if needed to keep the blender blades running.
Make a well in the flour and pour in the avocado puree. Knead it in with your fingers. Add more water if needed to get a smooth dough. Place in an airtight box and set aside at least half an hour. (Instructions on how to roll the quesadillas follow)
Tomato Chutney with Chipotle
Chipotle is a very Mexican flavor, and here I used it to give an Indian-style tomato chutney a uniquely Mexican avatar.
6 medium tomatoes, perfectly ripe
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, with 1 tsp of the liquid. Chop the chili really fine. (If you are sensitive to too much heat, cut this down by half or less)
1 small onion, minced
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp garlic powder or adobo seasoning
Coriander for garnish
Oil to spray
Salt to taste
Spray a skillet with oil. Add the onions and the sugar and saute until they start to soften and brown spots appear.
Add the tomatoes and the chipotle chili and sauce. Stir well and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the juice from the tomatoes has evaporated. You don't want a soggy quesadilla, so it is important there is no visible liquid in your chutney.
Turn off the heat and add the chopped cilantro.
Rainbow Chard with Red Peppers
1 bunch rainbow or green Swiss chard (about 6 large leaves), washed thoroughly and then chopped into thin strips.
1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 tbsp sesame seeds
3 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
Oil to spray
Spray a skillet with oil. Add the sesame seeds and stir. When they turn a shade darker, add the garlic and toss together for a few seconds.
Add the swiss chard and stir until it begins to reduce.
Add the red bell peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, until the peppers are tender enough but are still bright red and have a bite to them.
Add salt to taste.
To assemble the quesadilla:
Heat a nonstick or cast-iron griddle and spray with some oil.
Divide the avocado tortilla dough into 10 equal pieces and shape each into a smooth ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into a tortilla, about 7 inches in diameter.
Place the tortilla on the hot skillet. When bubbles appear, turn over and cook until golden-brown spots appear on the underside.
Flip over again. Place some chard and then some chutney just off the center. Top with some vegan cheese, like vegan mozzarella, if you like.
Flip one half of the quesadilla over the top of the filling and press down with your spatula. Take off the griddle after about 30 seconds.
Cut the quesadilla into halves, or serve as is rightaway.
Friends and acquaintances sometimes ask me why I just give away my best recipes for free. My answer has always been this: I want to make it as easy as possible for people to eat and cook animal-free food, especially Indian vegan food. And I don't want them to have to go to the trouble of buying a cookbook to find delicious recipes that are healthy and meat-free.
But even when we are not in it for the profit, bloggers like me do trust and hope– sometimes against the odds– that our best ideas will not be stolen.
Happily most bloggers are scrupulously honest about giving credit where credit is due. Some are even conscientious enough to ask me before they post a recipe which, though not necessary, is a nice gesture. So imagine my shock when recently a blogger I thought I knew well not only used my idea of substituting avocado for butter in her version of a brioche, but also– cool as a cucumber– took credit for it. Now the reason I know this blogger did not coincidentally think of the substitution herself is because she had written to me more than two years ago about how inspired she had been by my avocado brioche recipe and made various versions of it.
I want everyone to try my recipes, and if you are a blogger you are free to post them to your blog so long as you don't forget to mention Holy Cow! as the source. When I cook from the recipes of other cooks and bloggers, which I do all the time, I never forget to credit them in my posts. To my mind, there is no shame in being inspired by someone else's originality. But stealing ideas– that's awful.

Panetta In Afghanistan To Meet With Karzai
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has arrived in Afghanistan on an unannounced visit to consult with top commanders and President Hamid Karzai.
The visit Wednesday comes at a difficult juncture in the Western coalition's efforts to shift more security responsibilities to Afghan forces so the combat mission can end in 2014.
While security has generally improved lately, the Afghan government's ability to effectively govern and to root out corruption is in great doubt. Peace talks with the Taliban are on a back burner.
Panetta said earlier Wednesday in Kuwait, where he gave a pep talk to U.S. troops, that President Barack Obama will decide within a few weeks how many U.S. troops to keep in Afghanistan beyond 2014.

Heather Corinna replies:I'm on the pill and when I have sex with my boyfriend, he comes inside me. Afterwards, I always let it run out and clean the outside of my vagina. The rest comes out in my underpants later and I wash inside with my finger when I shower. Should I wash it out straight away instead of leaving it for risk of infection, or does it clear itself sufficiently like having a period?
There is a risk of sexually transmitted infection simply because he's ejaculating inside you. You can't reduce that risk once it has occurred.
And trying to douche or wash out the inside of the vagina only inclines you to things like yeast infections and vaginal imbalances more: that's a harm, not a help. So, it's always better not to mess with the inside of your vagina: it's a self-cleaning organ, and it's healthiest when we let it do its job alone. You not only don't need to try and wash inside your vagina with your fingers, that's a habit you should stop.
So, if you want to reduce the risks of infections, your boyfriend needs to be using condoms. That's the only way we have to reduce those risks. If and when you've both been using condoms for six months, and being monogamous for six months, AND each have at least once, but preferably two full and negative STI screens each, then it's okay to start talking about going without condoms, because the risks at that point -- unless your monogamy status changes -- would be greatly reduced.

This weekend, I was preparing to fill this space with commentary about widespread tax increases across Chestnut Hill, a soaking of the neighborhood's well-to-do and about how that perception of Chestnut Hill as well-to-do influences so much of how we think of the neighborhood and is the source of many of our assumptions.
But then the numbers were crunched by the city and by the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Chestnut Hill's median tax bills appear to be going down – not up as expected. According to the Inquirer's analysis, the median property tax bill in Chestnut Hill will drop $112 or 3 percent, based on a median market value of $337,100.
Back in June, when the Actual Value Initiative was close to passage in City Hall, I wrote in this space that Hillers could expect a tax increase. City Controller Alan Butkovitz and Councilman Bill Green were saying the same thing.
So what happened to the dire warnings?
The most significant change is that the tax rate being discussed as likely is much lower than what was thought possible eight months ago. At that time, tax critics were sure the property tax rate would be set at 1.8. Now the expected rate is 1.25. It's safe to say those 55 tenths of a percentage did a lot to keep Hill taxes from being slight hikes instead of the small discounts they now appear to be.
So I wouldn't say that Hillers are out of the tax woods yet. The final rate passed by City Council could climb above 1.25. The other wild card is a number of proposed Homestead Exemptions that would directly reduce the market value on which each property is taxed.
The Hill's tax future, however, looks a lot better now than it did just a month ago. What was certainly going to be an apocalypse appears to be no more.
We are interested in hearing from you, though. If your tax bill is going up or you think your market assessment is unfair, tell us about it. I'm always reachable at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About that old well-to-do saw
A sharp reader, when I called Chestnut Hill generally "well-to-do," made the comment that he had no idea he was well-to-do. "No one sent me the memo," he said.
I laughed and replied: "It's all relative."
I know how the generalization works.
I'm from Connecticut, and when you tell someone you're from Connecticut most people assume you're from Fairfield County, the wealthy corner of the state. But Bristol, where I grew up, is a far cry from Greenwich. There's a lot more to Connecticut than the New York suburbs.
So yeah, it's relative. On the one hand, if you live in Chestnut Hill, you're well-to-do compared to someone else. Period. But on the other hand, the majority of people who live in Chestnut Hill are not wealthy.
They might live a stone's throw from the 1 percent, but are not there themselves.
So making a generalization or an assumption about Chestnut Hill's well-to-do is not only unfair, it's not all that accurate. It's as outdated an assumption as that Chestnut Hill is a strong Republican community, which it hasn't been in at least a generation, if not longer.

Not content to merely put BlackBerry App World in the black by buying $500 clock apps, CrackBerry.com found and Mobile Nations chief-of-chiefs Kevin Michaluk has now turned his attention to Google Play... and bought a $200 vuvuzela app.
What makes it worth $200 more than all the free vuvuzela apps littering the former Android Market?
Surprisingly enough, the answer to that question is that the app features a picture of an iPhone holding a Vuvuzela! Hilarious. The developers really should be ashamed of themselves for this one. I also found the app crashed a lot, and though it looked like there was a menu for more options, it never opened.
Lucky for Kevin, Google Play currently caps apps at $200, or he could have been out the downpayment for a Winnipeg house.
Can't wait to see what Kevin buys when his Mobile Nations World Tour hits iOS and iMore.

New 'Thor: The Dark World' Images Show The Movie's Full Scope
The first Thor movie did plenty of traversing from Earth to Asgard and back again, but if these 40 new photos from the second film, Thor: The Dark World, are any indication, the sequel will span even more of the universe when the movie opens on November 8.
Asgard and Earth are in the mix again, of course -- and from the looks of it, we'll be seeing a lot more areas of both. But there's also the titular Dark World, some outer space insanity, and even some travel in between the Nine Realms. Check out all the images after the jump, although be sure to brace yourself for potential spoilers, just in case.

43 East Union Street. In case that address seems familiar, it should.
Over the years, the storefront at 43 East Union Street has been home to Patakan Thai, Greco's Italian, Siena Ristorante, Quadrupel Brasserie — and now Kal's Bistro. (Or perhaps Kal's Mediterranean Bistro, depending on what part of the menu you look at.)
The dominant theme at the new incarnatiuon of the East Union Street spot, you'll notice, is Med, ranging from Cal-Med to Italian-Med, to what might be called Beer-Med. Kal's brings in more influences from the Eastern Mediterranean, but it's still Med — indeed, more than most.
When you consider that Kal's neighbors include a madcap burger joint called Slater's 50/50, a champagne bar called Pop and a moody bourbon bar called The Blind Donkey, it comes as a surprise to find an upscale, grownup dining room occupying 43 East. It's a room with dark wood walls, fine hanging lamps, nicely folded napery and a reasonable quantum of solace; it's quiet enough that you can actually hold a conversation without shouting, or holding a hand cupped to an ear.
It also comes as a pleasant surprise to find one of the best dining bargains in Old Pasadena, sspecially if you go for lunch, when Kal's offers a terrific blue plate special. The special is listed as a "Quick Lunch " for $11, where you get pita bread, tangy tzatziki (yogurt with cucumbers), a small chopped salad or soup and a choice of lamb lule kebab, a falafel sandwich, a chicken skewer, a shawarma-style steak sandwich or salmon salad in pita. Local business people get a discount to $10. This is hard to beat.
And if those items don't do it, there's also a prix fixe lunch of an appetizer and an entrée from the menu for $15 ($13 for local business people). This is a restaurant that's working hard to be loved — and there's much to love on the menu.
But a word is in order concerning the service, which is so affable and cheery. That comes as a surprise. We are used to a whole mess o' perfunctory in restaurants. That is not the style at Kal's, where the servers are so upbeat you may be tempted to invite them to join your table for dinner. Wander in off the street, and one of the managers (or is it an owner?) is busy finding you a good table, even if you've just dropped to get change for the meters. At Kal's, we're reminded that the dominant word in the phrase "hospitality industry," should be "hospitality," not "industry."
If there's a problem with Kal's, it's figuring out what to order. The lunch and dinner menus largely overlap, though there are more dishes at dinner time, as you might expect. Kal's may serve the most creative tabbouleh salad in SoCal, a dish often overwhelmed by lots of soggy bulghur wheat. In this case, the bulghur (more crunchy than soggy) is tossed with not just parsley and mint, but also with kale (the veg of the moment) from Underwood Farms. There's tomato too, and a lemony dressing. This is tabbouleh taken to a whole different level. This is tasty stuff.
They have a fine hand with salads at Kal's, especially pleasant this time of year. Try their heirloom tomatoes, served with radishes, herbs and "a unique balsamic reduction." There's a fine chopped vegetable salad, made more fun with a handful of blue cheese. And then, there's the salad called "roka." An odd moniker for a toss of arugula from Coleman Farms, Fuji apples, sweet onions and parmesan cheese.
And speaking of fromage, there's a selection of 11 cheeses that tilt the cuisine towards the western side of the Med, with a nice triple cream from France, a truffle cheese from Italy, a goat cheese from Spain and a blue cheese from Spain. (I like Spanish cheeses, a lot. We need to import more of them.)
Then, there's the entrée section of the menu, which meanders all over the globe. The mushroom pasta is made with Japanese udon noodles, tossed with portobellos and truffle oil. The sautéed blue prawns are tossed with Peruvian pio-pio sauce. There's Persian sumac on the Loch Duart salmon, along with saffron rice. The flat iron steak comes with Spanish patatas bravas. The Maple Leaf Farms duck breast with Japanese brown rice.
For desert, there's a Greek yogurt panna cotta with cucumber ice. There's Arabic kanafeh (an insanely sweet pastry) with orange blossom cream cheese.
The name of the place doesn't begin to express the cuisine's global reach. But it's there — just a block away from the nightly parade on Colorado.

More than four hundred people are without jobs after the closing of Fitzgeralds Hotel and Casino in downtown Reno.
Some employees had worked at Fitzgeralds for more than 30 years. Now, they're going to have to find new jobs during a struggling economy.
At around 4pm Fitzgeralds officially closed its doors. Employees grabbed one last pay check and said goodbye.
"I'm sorry it's going," said Kimberly Blasutta, a game's dealer. "And I'm sorry that all of the employees are out of work. We had great employees. Ones you don't find everywhere and I think it's sad to see this business close."
Two months ago, management told employees that the hotel would be shut down for redevelopment. But several regular customers had no idea the hotel was closing until they tried to open the locked front door.
"It's kind of unbelievable," said Richard Young, a Fitzgeralds regular. "I've lived in Lake Tahoe for 35 years and I've come to this place for all that time and it's hard to believe it's shutting down."
"I'm going to miss it," said John Arnott, another Fitzgeralds regular. "It's a good place to play."
Fitzgeralds president Robert Cashell Jr says the decision to close was a difficult one, but with a new ballpark and other nearby businesses popping up he believes redevelopment and a decreasing emphasis on gaming is necessary for the city's future.
"We certainly didn't make this decision lightly," said Cashell. "But given the status of the economy and where downtown redevelopment is headed, we think this property can play a strategic role in the future of Reno and now seems like the right time to undertake that direction."
But which direction the more than 400 employees will go is anyone's guess.
"(Our) situation is pretty bad right now," said Blasutta. "Right before Christmas and we're out of a job and right now the economy is so bad that it's hard to find a job. We're just going to be out of work and hoping to find something else."
Fitzgeralds Hotel & Casino opened in 1976.
A Boutique hotel will likely open in its place in about three years.

Comment on the blog or on Twitter for your chance to win "The Left-Handed Embroiderer's Companion" and "The Right-Handed Embroiderer's Companion," written by Yvette Stanton!
Book Description: In early 2010, "The Left-Handed Embroiderer's Companion: a step-by-step stitch dictionary" was released to great acclaim and to the relief of the 10-15% of embroiderers who are left-handed.
With over 170 embroidery stitches demonstrated step-by-step with diagrams and text for each step, left-handed stitchers finally have the stitch dictionary they have been craving. However with its huge popularity, right-handers felt left out, and so "The Right-Handed Embroiderer's Companion" was published to stop the jealousy!
Yvette Stanton is an Australian embroidery designer, teacher and author. She has written five step-by-step needlework books, and the Left-Handed and Right-Handed Embroiderer's Companions are her latest two. Yvette is passionate about Whitework embroidery, and loves playing with embroidery stitches. For more information, visit her website, and check out her daily blog, White Threads!
Until Tuesday, February 22nd, you can one of these truly informative books. One right-handed person and one left-handed person will be selected! To enter, answer the following question: What type of embroidery design would you like to create? Also, please mention if you are left-handed or right-handed! For some great inspiration, check out these great embroidery projects from members tincorin, asiamc and fleurdeternite
When submitting an answer via Twitter, be sure to include the @BurdaStyle tag and the hashtag #comment2win
Good Luck!

Following her coverage of the Tour de France this year, Lisa's Mum was approached by SBS to join Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen for their coverage of the Tour de France 2010. Mum was pleased with the opportunity to impart some wisdom to Phil and Paul, whom she says are quite nice boys but still learning the ropes.
The new face of SBS's Tour de France 2010 commentary team (Mum is the one in the middle)
So without further ado, Mum presents her preview of the Tour Down Under:
- Local media swarming around the Adelaide Hilton on the promise of meeting a Tour de France winning legend will be audibly disppointed when Oscar Pereiro rocks up at the press conference. Team Caisse D'Epargne subsequently announce their last-minute withdrawal from the Tour after organisers fail to invite Pereiro to their $250-per-head Cycling Legends Dinner. When lodging their complaint, team officials were told by organisers that 'Oscar's a great guy, but no one remembers 2006'.
- Mike 'Randy' Rann will announce the renaming of North Terrace to 'Lance Parade' and pledge a new annual public holiday ('Livestrong Day') to residents of SA as part of his upcoming election campaign. Lance insists that the two are 'just friends' but when pressed in a separate interview, Randy admits that he is looking into revamping SA's gay marriage laws in time for the 2011 tour.
- Allan Davis, returning TDU champion, reveals that he is much more relaxed and confident going into this week than he was at the Aust national road cycling champs last week as this time he won't have to contend with the awesome firepower of Jonny 'Long-Ks' Houston in the bunch with him. Davis stated, 'Yeah, to discover that Jonny has opted to skip the tour this year is certainly a weight off my mind. I'm not sure I could have handled his calm breathing and it really unsettles me when I am biting the handlebars up the climbs and Jon just wants to make conversation.'
- Cadel Evans announces that he is contemplating retirement after being pantsed going up the Kinglake climb by two non-professional cyclists in their 40s (reportedly from local outfit TE) who just wanted him to sign their book.
More updates to follow...

Debate Prep
But enough about me - let's talk about me. Just kidding. Seriously, for as good of a persuader I am, and as adept as I am with both the written and spoken word, it's all natural talent - no learned behavior. Sure, I have a skill set that was enhanced with academic and practical training, but my talent for writing and persuading (as modest as it is) seems innate.
Thus, I have a lack of schooling on the topics of logic and debate, and a question for you, my more sophisticated readers: what is the term or phrase to describe a fallacious argument made by someone who rejects a request or proposal by postulating that it will lead to an immprobable - no, an impossible - outcome? For example, let's say that I requested of my employer that I be allowed to work from home one day per week, but in denying my request, the firm postulated that if they gave me 9 hours of flex-time per week, it would be a short throw from my working at home, to my running a brothel out of my home. And therefore they couldn't grant my request. Even though there was no prostitution in my plans, and the only mention of a house of ill repute originated in their twisted minds.
Please, if you can advise, I'm all ears.

Are you still laying odds whether The Shack will make it to the Champs Elysees?
Anon, thanks for the feedback - and thanks as well to the guys who shared their thoughts via Twitter.ReplyDelete
Now that RS has started the Tour, I think the odds of their being thrown out are low. However, I will lay odds that the team does not continue into 2011...

Super Bowl
The Super Bowl — derisively called the "Super Subsidy" because taxpayers foot much of the expense, or the "Super Fleece" because the prices are such a ripoff — is the championship game at the end of each National Football League (NFL) season, featuring a half-time show that is increasingly liberal and sometimes even pro-homosexual. It is held in a different city each year and is also televised. The game is a tool of the liberal media in bullying states, which are scheduled to host the event, into rejecting conservative legislation. The over-hyped game is played between the winners of the National Football Conference (NFC) and American Football Conference (AFC), but most the viewers have no idea or interest in how the teams got there. For four straight years continuing through 2015, the number of viewers of the Super Bowl in the key demographic of 18 to 49 years old has declined. The media has been criticized for over-hyping the audience.[1]
The outcome in Super Bowls is increasingly the result of play-calling by non-athletic coaches, who use extensive business-like approaches to the game. Athleticism has become less important to this game.
The mayor of Glendale, Arizona, expected his city to lose money from hosting the 2015 Super Bowl: "I totally believe we will lose money on this," mayor Jerry Weiers told ESPN.[2] Despite this, and how independent economists have shown that the benefit to a Super Bowl host city is zero or nearly so, the taxpayer-supported NFL absurdly claims that a city receives benefits of $500 million just for hosting the Super Bowl.
The NFL was so harmful to local businesses and taxpayers of New Jersey in 2014 that 55% of business leaders who were surveyed afterwards said they did not want New Jersey to host the game again.[3] Part of the NFL's bilking of taxpayers was its demand for a $7.5 million rebate on sales taxes.[3]
The first Super Bowl ever played was in 1967 as a championship game between the top teams in the National Football League and the now-defunct American Football League (AFL). The teams that played in the first Super Bowl were the Green Bay Packers from the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs from the AFL. After the AFL's merger into the NFL in 1969, the Super Bowl became the championship game within the NFL pitting the top teams from the AFC and NFC. The winners of the Super Bowl are awarded the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named for the Packer's legendary coach during the 1960s.
Super Bowl XLV was played in Dallas, Texas on February 6, 2011 between the Green Bay Packers, the NFC Champions, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the AFC Champions. The Packers won Super Bowl XLV 31 - 25 (four converted touchdowns and one field goal to two converted touchdowns, one two-point converted touchdown, and a field goal). Aaron Rodgers, the Packers quarterback, was named Most Valuable Player.
The teams who contested Super Bowl XLV are two of the most successful in NFL history. The Steelers won six Super Bowl championships prior to Super Bowl XLV; the Packers have now won four Super Bowls and also hold the record for NFL championships in the pre-Super Bowl era.
Super Bowls are the most watched television broadcasts in history, but much of the audience simply uses the game as background noise during parties. Super Bowl XLVIII was the highest rated broadcast in history, with an average viewership of 112 million.[4] Viewership has been slightly increasing in recent years, but slightly less than half of televisions are tuned into the game.[5] Super Bowl LI is the first Super Bowl in the history of its existence to have a game end in overtime. Super Bowl LII is likewise one of the few games to have the Patriots team lose the game.

World Men's Curling Championship 2012 - Bronze Medal
Basel, Switzerland
April 8, 2012
Sweden and Norway played out a tense bronze medal game that went all the way to an extra end at the World Men's Curling Championship 2012 in Basel, Switzerland on Sunday morning. Sweden emerged victorious winning 9-8 and picking up the bronze medal for the second year in a row.
The Swedes dealt the first blow in the game, when skip Sebastian Kraupp played a tap-up to score two in the first end. Norway responded with a single point in the third end and, in the fourth end, Norwegian skip Thomas Ulsrud played a remarkable quadruple clear-out of Swedish stones. But even that could not stop the Swedes from scoring two points in the end and taking a 4-1 lead.
But Ulsrud brought his team right into contention when he hit for two points in the fifth end to narrow the Swedish lead to 4-3.
However, the pendulum swung in Sweden's direction again in the sixth end when Kraupp hit to clear out two Norwegian stones, score three points and take a 7-3 lead. Despite Sweden's substantial lead, Ulsrud fought back again and scored two points in the seventh end as he hit out a Swedish stone.
Ulsrud then stole a single point in the eighth end and finally managed to level the game for the first time in the tenth end when he drew a second stone into the house to force an extra end with the score at 8-8.
However, the Swedes had the crucial last stone advantage in the extra end and eventually, Kraupp used this to win the game and the bronze medals with a straightforward draw into the rings for one point and a 9-8 victory.
The Swedish team, which also includes Frederik Lindberg as third, Oskar Eriksson as second (vice-skip) and Viktor Kjaell as lead, have had to contend with injury to their regular skip Niklas Edin throughout the week. Afterwards, a smiling Kraupp said: "This medal shows how solid we are as a team. We've been up and down all week, so to have a medal here is excellent."
Speaking about the game itself, he said: "It's always tight when you play Ulsrud's team, but when we took three in the sixth, it was important. You have to focus for the whole game. I tried to stay as calm as I could in the eleventh end - I'm not used to playing in this position - but I figured out how to play the draw."
Thinking about his regular skip Edin, Kraupp said: "He has been in a fight all week with his back. It's been a long struggle for the whole team, and for him especially."
Norway, skipped by Thomas Ulsrud, with Torger Nergård as third (vice-skip), Thomas Løvold as second for this game and Håvard Vad Petersson as lead, finish in fourth position following this defeat. A subdued Thomas Ulsrud said afterwards: "It's the game you hate to lose, but it's to the Swedes credit – they played well." He added: "They played a good game from the start, we managed to fight back but in the end it wasn't enough. To play in an extra end without hammer, you have a slim chance, but against a good team on good ice, you'll lose eight out of ten times."
Bronze Medal: Norway 8, Sweden 9.
Standings after Bronze Medal game:
Canada 11-1 (to play gold medal game)
Scotland 9-4 (to play gold medal game)
3. Sweden 10-5 (Bronze medal)
4. Norway 8-5
5. New Zealand 7-5
6. China 6-5

Here are the highlights from news and events that took place in the General Assembly last week. For more information on any of these items, visit www.rilin.state.ri.us/News.
Senate unveils 'Moving the Needle' legislative package
President of the Senate M. Teresa Paiva Weed (D-Dist. 13, Newport, Jamestown), Senate Majority Leader Dominick J. Ruggerio (D-Dist. 4, North Providence, Providence), Senate Minority Leader Dennis L. Algiere (D-Dist. 38, Westerly, Charlestown, South Kingstown) and other senators unveiled a legislative package designed to improve Rhode Island's business climate and its position on national business-friendliness surveys. The legislation was developed from the recommendations of a joint report by the Senate and the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council called "Moving the Needle."
Senate passes Raptakis murder/parole bill
The Senate has approved legislation that will require individuals convicted of first- or second-degree murder and who have not been sentenced to life in prison to serve at least 50 percent of a sentence prior to being eligible for parole. The bill (2013-S 0361), introduced by Sen. Leonidas P. Raptakis (D-Dist. 33, Coventry, East Greenwich, West Greenwich), now goes to the House, where an identical bill (2013-H 5145) has been introduced by Rep. Patricia A. Serpa (D-Dist. 27, West Warwick, Coventry, Warwick).
Silva historic tax credit bill increases accountability, useful economic data
Rep. Agostinho F. Silva (D-Dist. 56, Central Falls) is sponsoring a bill (2013-H 5637) on behalf of Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee that will establish reporting requirements for each taxpayer seeking tax credits for rehabilitating certified historic structures. Tax agreements and annual reports regarding tax credits would also be available to the public under provisions of the bill. Sen. Maryellen Goodwin (D-Dist. 1, Providence) sponsored the companion legislation (2013-S 0733) as part of the Senate's "Moving The Needle" bill package to improve Rhode Island's economy.
Edwards, Metts renew fight to protect tenants' rights in foreclosure cases
In a resurging effort to keep more people off the streets and protect tenants' basic rights in the foreclosure process, Rep. John G. Edwards (D-Dist. 70, Portsmouth, Tiverton) and Sen. Harold M. Metts (D-Dist. 6, Providence) held a press conference to talk about their legislation (2013-H 5103, 2013-S 5103), which clearly defines "just cause" needed for foreclosing property owners to evict tenants. The legislation also lays out a fair and distinct notification process, which serves to protect tenants from unjust treatment and abrupt evictions.
Ackerman, Miller introduce AG Iran divestiture bills
Citing the Iranian regime policies to pursue nuclear weapons capability and state-sponsored terrorism worldwide, Rep. Mia A. Ackerman (D-Dist. 45, Cumberland, Lincoln) and Sen. Joshua Miller (D-Dist. 28, Cranston, Providence) filed legislation (2013-H 5620, 2013-S 0521) on behalf of Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin that require the state to divest any and all state pension funds from companies that directly or indirectly do business with Iran. The legislation also prohibits the state to enter into any contracts with companies doing business with Iran.
Bill bars property owners from requiring tenants to de-bark, de-claw pets
The Senate approved legislation that will prohibit property owners from requiring de-vocalization (de-barking) and de-clawing of dogs and cats as a condition of occupancy. The legislation (2013-S 0177) was sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Dominick J. Ruggerio (D-Dist. 4, North Providence, Providence). An identical House bill (2013-H 5426) has been introduced by Rep. Patricia A. Serpa (D-Dist. 27, West Warwick, Coventry, Warwick).
Senate, House bills aim to help disabled veteran business owners
Bills have been introduced in the Senate and House of Representatives that would waive corporate filing fees and the business corporation tax for those corporations whose majority owners are veterans suffering from a service-related disability. The Senate bill (2013-S 0633) was sponsored by Sen. Frank S. Lombardi (D-Dist. 23, Cranston) and the House bill (2013-H 5843) was submitted by House Majority Whip Stephen R. Ucci (D-Dist. 42, Johnston, Cranston).
Sheehan bill calls for Office of Inspector General in Rhode Island
Sen. James C. Sheehan (D-Dist. 36, Narragansett, North Kingstown) has introduced legislation (2013-S 0612) to establish an Office of Inspector General in Rhode Island, an independent administrative agency with the purpose of preventing and detecting fraud, waste, abuse or mismanagement in the expenditure of public funds. A similar House bill (2013-H 5363) has been introduced by Rep. Larry Valencia (D-Dist. 39, Hopkinton, Exeter, Richmond).

About fifty pages into the book, I came across the word: "Penitenziagite". And I cannot find a meaning for this word anywhere. I tried to Google it and the closest I found was the an instrumental song by that name.

I wrote something earlier but forgot to click send. Oh well. I agree with the others on this topic.
I'm an instructor and 4 hrs on a trainer is crazy, especially if it was windy enough for you to fly an inflatable. Well maybe it was a good thing in the long run.
Here's the good part, you spent a lot of time flying the kite. You flew different kites with an instructor and you have spent plenty of time with a small inflatable in 25 mph winds. The bad part is that in the 6 hrs with your instructor, you didn't attempt to water start or at least try to put the board on your feet to see how difficult it can be. At least you didn't say anything about water starts.
You owe it to yourself now to go back to some more instruction. You have a lot to bring to the table now. If you end up flying the kite some before taking another lesson, see if find yourself able to tell where the kite is without starting at it the whole time because your next hill to climb is flying the kite while trying to get your feet in the foot straps.
Your next instructor should be able to confidently have you flying the kite with one hand, board drag upwind in no time, and proceed to water starts very fast. In the long run you may have saved some money but taking just one lesson and flying yourself bored in your free time. Now you will be able to focus on primarily getting up to ride!
Contact Endless Windz, I think they are near Orlando. My buddy Mike who I coached in snowboarding and taught to kite and trained for teaching works for them. He's got a huge quiver to work with, all the way up to a 17meter. Send me a personal message on here if you want his contact info.
Sell the 2.5 to that other guy and put the money towards your lesson.
Have fun.

Christie: Choose "respect," not "love"
(CBS News) TAMPA, Fla. -- In remarks that touched more on his personal governing philosophy than the candidate he was chosen to promote, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Tuesday called on Americans to face the nation's "hard truths" this November, and embrace a "new era of truth-telling" when deciding the country's political future.
Speaking to a riled-up crowd of Republican delegates on the first night of the GOP convention, the famously outspoken Christie stuck mostly to the script, but he still managed to deliver a harsh rebuke of a political system he argued rewards politicians' "desire to be loved" above a desire to do "right."
"We need politicians to care more about doing something and less about being something," said Christie. "Tonight, we choose respect over love."
With recent polls showing Romney facing an empathy gap compared to Mr. Obama, the Romney campaign used its biggest headliners Tuesday to work the issue from two angles: In remarks directly preceding Christie's speech, Ann Romney, Mitt Romney's wife, stressed her "deep and abiding love" for Romney in an apparent effort to soften his image. Christie, meanwhile, suggested that voters should vote with their heads - not their hearts.
"Our leaders today have decided it is more important to be popular - to be popular! - to say and do what is easy, and say yes rather than to say no when no is what's required," he said. "I believe we have become paralyzed - paralyzed - by our desire to be loved."
Citing his experience as New Jersey governor, Christie argued that it's possible to speak hard truths and still earn the trust of voters. He called on voters to embrace a "new era of truth-telling."
"They rewarded politicians who led instead of politicians who pandered," he said, of his constituents' response to his own tough talk. "We shouldn't be surprised. We've never been a country to shy away from the truth. Our history shows that we stand up when it counts and it's this quality that has defined our character and our significance in the world."
"We have this leader for America," he said. "It's time to end this era of absentee leadership in the oval office and send real leaders to the White House. America needs Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and we need them right now."
He argued that finding the "right" solutions to the nation's woes would "not be painless."
But, he said, "our duty is to tell the American people the truth."
"Tonight, we choose the path that has always defined our nation's history," said Christie. "Tonight, we finally and firmly answer the call that so many generations have had the courage to answer before us. "Tonight, we stand up for Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States. And, together, we stand up once again for American greatness."

One approach to implementing RTI involves screening children for potential difficulties using the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy (DIBELS) to select those who are at risk of failure in reading. These children are given additional instructional attention. To ensure that no children who might need assistance are missed, children's reading progress is monitored from the middle of first grade on by measuring once each week how many words each child can read accurately from grade-level passages in one minute. The passages are standardized and norm-referenced, and reliability is emphasized. In kindergarten and the first half of second grade, progress is monitored by a measure of how quickly children can break a word into separate sounds and give a name and a sound for a letter. Trained aides, special education teachers, and the school psychologists complete most of the assessments in order to limit the testing time required of the classroom teacher. Students are given a comprehensive standardized reading test at the end of each year. Students who do not improve their reading speed and accuracy sufficiently, or at an adequate rate, after eight weeks are given a small-group instructional program taught by a trained teacher aide. Students who still do not increase their speed and accuracy receive an intensified intervention with increased time in a smaller group, taught by the literacy specialist. These interventions are referred to as tiers, classroom instruction being tier 1, and successive interventions as tiers 2 and 3.The instructional intervention is based on a program shown in experimental studies to be effective at increasing children's ability to read words with greater speed and accuracy according to the federal What Works Clearinghouse website. The program is a standardized intervention package with a set sequence of materials and a scripted instructional format. Fifteen minutes are spent on phonics, word recognition, and spelling regular and irregular words; five minutes on building speed with letter names, letter sounds, and word family patterns; and ten minutes reading short passages (3 to 4 words to over 40 words) based on sounds and words previously taught. During the ten minutes, comprehension questions integrating literal and inferential thinking are asked and strategies for locating answers are taught. Teachers are monitored by the school psychologist to ensure that they are implementing the program with fidelity—that is, as scripted.Before initiating a new tier of intervention, a committee—directed by the school psychologist and including a classroom teacher, a parent (or surrogate), the principal, and a special education teacher—meets to decide whether the next phase is appropriate, given the assessments. Parents are kept informed using the graphs and norms of reading speed and accuracy. Those students who do not benefit from these interventions are referred by the committee to special education for individual instruction (tier 4) and classified as learning disabled. Failure to benefit from a validated form of instruction is seen as evidence of a learning disability.
This approach to RTI also involves layers of instruction, screening, and monitoring. On entering kindergarten, children are screened for their knowledge of the alphabet, and those with limited knowledge are given extra instructional support from the start on the assumption that limited alphabet knowledge reflects a limited literate history. Progress is monitored with an agreed upon portfolio of indicators including dated pieces of writing; an alphabet record for recording cumulative knowledge of letters, sounds, and related words noticed during classroom learning and one-on-one conferences; records of children's reading processes (strategies and accuracy); book difficulty level data; and anecdotal records. Some of these data are replaced in first and second grade with rubrics for judging writing, including writing stemming from reading. Comprehension is assessed through book discussions (small group, large group, and individual).These portfolios are examined in monthly collaborative grade-level meetings led by a literacy coach who has 20% of her time designated for such administrative work. The coach is part of the school's commitment to improving instructional quality to reduce the need for additional interventions. At the end of each quarter, children's learning is evaluated at grade-level meetings led by the literacy coach and the principal in terms of end-of-grade expectations. These meetings include instructional planning.The core classroom program has differentiated small-group instruction with the classroom teacher providing additional support for the lowest group. The school has a highly trained literacy coach who works with teachers 60% of her or his time to improve tier 1 instruction. Tier 2 is a small-group intervention with group size, amount of time, and teacher expertise determined by the students' needs, but with the framework consistent with tiers 1 and 3. Each is focused on interactions that support meaning making and independence. Tier 3 is a 1:1 intervention with Reading Recovery in first grade or a 1:2 group or reading/writing conferences in upper grades. (According to research and the federal What Works Clearinghouse website, Reading Recovery is a program shown in experimental studies to be effective at increasing children's ability to comprehend and to read and spell more accurately and to reduce the number of children becoming learning disabled.) The small-group interventions are carried out by Reading Recovery teachers and by special education teachers trained in the approach, and the literacy coach spends 20% of her or his time teaching these interventions. Tier 4 includes, as part of the referral process, close examination of the teaching interactions in tier 3 by an expert coach with collaborative attempts to change instructional interactions of students who are not adequately accelerating their ability to handle more difficult texts.At the beginning of first grade, those children in the bottom half of the class are assessed using the Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement, a standardized procedure that offers instructionally useful information regarding literacy concepts, knowledge, and processes. This assessment is used to allocate students to tier 2 or 3. The intervention teachers keep daily records of writing, word work, and reading processes, and classroom teachers continue to accumulate portfolios of children's writing and running records of their reading. There is a comprehensive assessment at the end of each grade.Before initiating a new tier of intervention, a committee, directed by the principal and the literacy coach and including the classroom teacher and a parent (or surrogate), meets to examine progress and next steps. Parents are kept informed of progress using half-year reports for all students and monthly descriptive feedback by intervention teachers using, for example, writing and text-level examples.

Log Cabin Republicans Give Anti-Gay Sen. Scott Brown "Spirit Of Lincoln" Award
Later today, the Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) will be presenting Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) with the organization's highest honor — the "Spirit of Lincoln award — commemorating his vote in favor of repealing the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy last December. In a recent press release, Log Cabin president R. Clarke Cooper explained the decision to honor Brown:
Since his election to the United States Senate, Senator Scott Brown has been a principled advocate for the people of Massachusetts, a tremendous addition to the Congress and an insightful voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee… Senator Brown has proven himself to be an ally to our community whose service should be recognized, and Log Cabin Republicans are proud to call this warrior-citizen a friend.
Certainly, it's important to thank Sen. Brown for joining the overwhelming majority of the American public and supporting an end to DADT. After all, the policy could not have been repealed without the support of handful of Senate Republicans. Still, calling Sen. Brown an "ally" to the LGBT community is, to put it lightly, a bit of a stretch.
Throughout his political career, Brown has proven himself to be a close and reliable ally to some of the country's most vile anti-gay groups, opposing LGBT equality at nearly every turn.
Opposes Recognizing Same-Sex Relationships. Brown has voted against marriage equality and in favor of a state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage. Brown claims to be in favor of civil unions, but he voted against a state constitutional amendment that would allow for civil unions in 2004. Last year, he voted in favor of allowing a referendum to overturn marriage equality in Washington, DC.
Opposes Supporting LGBT Youth. Brown was the only state senator to vote to uphold Governor Mitt Romney's veto of the creation of a commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth in 2006. He co-sponsored the Massachusetts Parental Rights Bill, which would have allowed parents to pull their children out of any lesson relating to LGBT people. He was the only member of the Massachusetts congressional delegation not to appear in a recent video for the "It Gets Better" Project. As Think Progress' Zack Ford pointed out, he hasn't signed on to support either of the two major anti-bullying bills currently before Congress.
Opposes Same-Sex Couples Raising Children. In 2001, Brown argued that it was "just not normal" for his colleague, State Senator Cheryl Jacques, to raise children with her domestic partner, though he later clarified that he should have said "non-traditional" instead.
Opposes Non-Discrimination Legislation. Brown has consistently opposed legislation to prohibit discrimination against LGBT Americans. He is on the record as opposing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and did not support the Massachusetts Transgender Civil Rights bill or Hate Crimes bill.
Anti-Gay Hate Groups Love Him. Brown has benefited from the strong support of MassResistance, a group that has been labeled an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The group labeled him the "best pick" for Senate in 2009, explaining that Brown "does not support the homosexual agenda and is not afraid to go against the homosexual lobby." Brown has accepted support from a number of anti-gay groups.
To be fair, the LCR are in a tough position. When it comes to highlighting pro-gay Republicans, their choices are few and far between.
Still, that's no excuse for honoring someone who has spent his career campaigning against basic LGBT equality. If taking money from anti-gay hate groups, opposing non-discrimination laws, and refusing to participate in anti-youth suicide campaigns makes you an "ally" to the LGBT community, I'm curious what LCR's enemies look like.

Ratings & Reviews
Director Barry Levinson follows up the low-budget An Everlasting Piece (2000) with another comedy, this one of the homegrown variety from former Twin Peaks (1990) TV series writer Harley Peyton. Bruce Willis stars as suave bank robber Joe, who has escaped from prison with his hypochondriac buddy Terry (Billy Bob Thornton). Together, the two men have devised a clever scheme to take a bank officer hostage the night before a heist, then simply escort the executive to work early the next morning when they clean out the vault. Their ingenious methods have led to the men becoming media darlings dubbed "the Sleepover Bandits," but all Joe and Terry want is to make a nice pile of money before crossing the Mexican border to a life of freedom and legitimacy. Their quest gets more complicated when Terry is struck by a car driven by Kate Wheeler (Cate Blanchett), a bored housewife who's then forced to join their crime spree. Soon both Joe and Terry are in love with Kate and she with them, realizing that the two friends put together pretty much equal the perfect man. Bandits co-stars Troy Garity, son of actress Jane Fonda. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi
