Uniting American Families Act reintroduced in U.S. House

Nadler, House champions of immigration reform introduce the Uniting American Families Act to provide equal LGBT immigration rights
WASHINGTON, April 14 — Today, U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, and Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Jared Polis (D-Colo.), Mike Honda (D-Calif.), Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), and Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) announced the reintroduction of the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA). This overdue legislation would allow Americans to sponsor their same-sex permanent partners for legal residency in the United States, a right currently enjoyed only by married opposite-sex couples under immigration law. Because the U.S. does not legally recognize same-sex couples and their children as families, many binational same-sex couples are torn apart. U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) also introduced UAFA today in the Senate.
"Today, thousands of committed same-sex couples are needlessly suffering because of unequal treatment under our immigration laws, and this is an outrage," said Nadler. "Our Constitution guarantees that no class of people will be singled out for differential treatment — and LGBT Americans should not and must not be excluded from that guarantee."
"It's appalling that the United States government forces families to separate," noted Lofgren. "As a nation, we should be encouraging the cohesion of American families, not forcing the deportation of partners and parents. This is about discrimination, and in America we are all equal regardless of color, race, creed or sexual orientation."
"There is simply no place for discrimination in America," said Baldwin. "LGBT families are being torn apart by inequitable immigration laws that deny same-sex married couples and domestic partners the same rights and obligations as their married heterosexual neighbors. It's imperative that we end discriminatory laws that hurt couples, their children and extended families, and their communities and employers."
"I am proud to stand with Representative Nadler and leaders from the LGBT, civil rights, religious and business communities in supporting the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA)," said Honda. "As an American who was uprooted from my extended family and community during World War II because of my Japanese heritage, I know first-hand the trauma that is caused when family members are forced to separate because of something so fundamental as who we are. We need to ensure that our immigration laws protect the civil rights of LGBT Americans by allowing them to reunite with their loved ones."
"Immigration Equality Action Fund is proud to stand with Congressman Nadler, and our congressional champions, as they reintroduce the Uniting American Families Act," said Rachel B. Tiven, the group's executive director. "American families that are working hard, paying their taxes, raising their children and contributing to their communities should be celebrated and encouraged — not threatened with separation. Every day, Immigration Equality hears from families who are facing separation and exile because of our country's broken and discriminatory immigration system. UAFA is the legislative solution for those families, and we are committed to building support for its passage as quickly as possible, before more families are torn apart."
"U.S. immigration policy is supposed to be based on the principle of bringing and keeping families together, but the system is broken. Instead of unification, the policy often results in painful separation of loved ones," said Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. "This must change. Thousands of binational same-sex couples and their families have been kept separated or forced to live abroad. This discriminatory practice is unfair and inhumane. No one should ever have to choose between their partner and their country or be denied the freedom to be with their families. The Uniting American Families Act will change this inequity."
"Our nation's discriminatory immigration laws force binational same-sex families to decide between breaking up or living in exile. No American family should face this decision," said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign. "Binational same-sex partners must often leave family and friends, sell businesses, and abandon the community and country they love in order to keep their families together. We stand with and applaud Representative Nadler for reintroducing the Uniting American Families Act to remedy this injustice and ensure that our nation's laws treat committed binational same-sex couples with dignity and respect."
UAFA would add the term "permanent partner" to sections of the Immigration and Naturalization Act that apply to married opposite-sex couples. "Permanent partner" is described as an adult who is in a committed, intimate relationship with another adult in "which both parties intend a lifelong commitment." This legislation would afford equal immigration benefits to permanent partners as exist for married opposite-sex couples, and it would impose the same restrictions, enforcement standards and penalties as are currently in immigration law.
Joining the members today were Rachel Tiven, executive director of Immigration Equality; Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force; Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign; and, Shirley Tan and Jay Mercado, a same-sex California couple, and their children Joriene and Jashley. The recent immigration plight of the Tan/Mercado family drew national attention and dramatically highlighted the urgency to pass UAFA.
At least 25 countries currently allow residents to sponsor same-sex permanent partners for legal immigration, including Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

State officials say no decision has yet been made on what form Medicaid recipients will be asked to share in the costs of their care.
Health and Human Services Director Mike Willden told members of the Senate and Assembly money committees Wednesday that while Gov. Brian Sandoval's budget assumes a $3 co-pay for doctor visits, the figure was a place holder while proposed federal regulations released last month are reviewed.
Willden says a public comment period on the proposed regulations ends tomorrow, and it could be weeks before final rules are adopted.
Under the federal health care aw, Nevada's Medicaid enrollments are projected to swell from 313,000 to about 490,000 by 2015.
Willden warned lawmakers they could be grappling with the Medicaid budget toward the end of the legislative session. (AP)

Quit smoking, you've heard it from your family and friends for many years but you neglect to truly listen to them. If you have family and friends that you love then you should take the advice from this article seriously so that you can stay on this planet for years to come.
I wanted to share some research I found from celebrities. Check out the image below. Now not only are celebrities smoking the Solar Cigarette.. this electric cigarette is the only one I know to help smokers lose weight and in fact infuse vitamins in your puffs.. Crazy Right..? Check it out below.
Don't be afraid to let guilt be a motivation for quitting smoking, especially when it comes to those around you. Your loved ones, whether you want to admit it or not, are inevitably going to be affected by your smoking habit if you do not quit now. Not only does the cost take away from things you could be doing for your family, but you are also exposing them constantly to secondhand smoke.
Don't stop taking smoke breaks at work. Keep going outside at your normal smoking times, but instead take a brisk stroll and get some fresh air. These moments away from work might be why you smoked in the first place, so keep taking them, just without the part that kills your health and wallet.
Think specifically about how quitting smoking will improve your life. Think of all the health conditions you can worry less about. Think about how much money you can save. Think about how the whiteness of your teeth and the smell of your home will improve. Most importantly, think of how much less likely your children will be to smoke.
If you're trying to quit smoking, try chewing gum instead. Often times when you try to leave a bad habit behind, you must replace it with a more positive one. Chewing gum allows you to use your mouth and jaw in some of the same ways that smoking does. It is a healthy way to keep yourself busy while you're working toward quitting.
You should seek out support in your neighborhood. While online support is great, face-to-face support can help you relearn how to socialize without tobacco. Tobacco cessation support groups are wonderful places to do this, as the people there will understand your unique emotional challenges when it comes to quitting smoking.
One of the best things you can do if you are trying to quit smoking is get support. At times, family and friends are not present or are not able to provide support. There are other resources available including live instant messaging chat, telephone counseling, and support groups. Do some research and find the support that you need.
To help you quit smoking, you should go to use a stop smoking aide. There are many aides available on the market which you can purchase at your local pharmacy. These aides can help relax your cravings while you are going through the quitting process. With the use of help, more than likely you will continue to smoke.
To quit smoking, you may want to think about going through hypnotherapy. During a session, the therapist will put you into a relaxing, dreamlike state and tell you not to smoke. Also, he or she may repeat certain reasons for you to quit so that you have this in your head when you wake up.
To help you continue to stop smoking in the few days after you quit, you should avoid drinking beverages that you associate with smoking. Caffeine for instance, as many smokers are usually coffee drinkers. By avoiding these smoking triggers and replacing it with something you normally don't do while smoking, this can help you to remain smoke-free.
Once you commit to quitting smoking, give your home, car and other personal spaces and effects a thorough cleaning. Smelling smoke will only make you want to smoke. Likewise, your sense of smell will improve the longer you go without smoking, and cleaning will give you a chance to appreciate just how bad the smoke made your items smell.
If the fear of gaining weight is the only thing holding you back from quitting, you should know that gaining weight is not inevitable. Many former smokers never gain any weight when they quit. That said, gaining a few pounds is still far healthier than continuing to smoke. With a bit of exercise and mindful snacking, this fear should play no part in keeping you from quitting.While part of the idea of quitting smoking is to save money, treat yourself to a reward now and again with the money that you haven't spent on cigarettes. These treats give your something to look forward to and serve as a reminder of the things you may not have been able to buy as a smoker.
Starting an exercise program can help you quit smoking. It is extremely difficult to follow a rigorous exercise program as a smoker. If you are able to find a program that you are enthusiastic about, it can be a strong motivator for quitting smoking. In addition, exercise can help repair the damage done to your lungs.
Don't give up if you slip up. Anytime someone tries to give something up that they have been doing for years, there will likely be a struggle. When that struggle exists, slip ups often happen. If you do slip up, get right back on track and try again. The worst thing you can do is turn a slip up into an excuse to keep smoking, so don't do it.
Using all of the advice from this article you now have a great idea of what it takes to quit smoking. So go ahead and read through this article again if you need to or share it with someone else that you know that could benefit from learning how to quit smoking once and for all.

If you're a sports fan, this weekend will offer almost continuous entertainment.
Four local teams play important games, starting Friday afternoon at 5 p.m. with the Braves playing a do-or-die wildcard game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Turner Field. Kris Medlen, who has been unbeatable this year, starts for the Braves against the Cardinals' Kyle Lhose, who was great this year against almost everybody except the Braves, who battered him for nine hits and five earned runs in five innings the only time they faced him. 5 p.m., TBS.
If the Braves beat the Cards, they'll start a five-game series against the Nationals at 3:07 p.m. Sunday at Turner Field.
Georgia plays its biggest game of the year Saturday night when the No. 5 Bulldogs face no. 6 South Carolina in Columbia. Georgia's hoping to remain unbeaten and end a two-year losing streak against Coach Steve Spurrier and the Gamecocks.
It would be the first time in history Carolina has beaten Georgia three times in a row, a point UGA Coach Mark Richt said he's made to the players this week. "We don't like to make history in a negative way," said Richt. 7 p.m., ESPN.
Georgia Tech, meanwhile, is hoping to gain some respect after an embarrassing 49-28 loss to Middle Tennessee State at Grant Field.
The Jackets go on the road to face No. 15 Clemson, which has a prolific offense that averages more than 40 points a game. "If we play like we did Saturday, they may not have enough lights on the scoreboard for Clemson," Coach Paul Johnson said this week. 3:30 p.m., ESPN.
On Sunday, the 4-0 Falcons travel to Washington to take on the Redskins, who feature sensational rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III. Washington is averaging just over 30 points a game behind the dual-threat Griffin. Fortunately for the Falcons, who also average over 30 a game, the Redskins' defense has given up just as many points and they've scored, 123. 1 p.m., Fox.
Even the Hawks are in action, playing an exhibition game against the Miami Heat at 2 p.m. Sunday at Philips Arena. No television.
In other games, Georgia State plays New Hampshire at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the Georgia Dome, Georgia Southern plays at Western Carolina at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Morehouse plays Tuskegee at 2 p.m. Saturday in Columbus, and Clark Atlanta plays Miles at 4 p.m. Saturday in Fairfield, Ala.

Madmax – A little off subject, but I do agree. Atlanta had some good radio around 40 years ago, in the infancy of FM stations. I rarely try to tune in Atlanta stations anymore, but when I do it seems as though all I can find is country music and "ethnically oriented" music. I've gotten to the point that I can handle country music but I don't speak Spanish or ebonics.

After thirty years of business, a nursing home in Northern Michigan has suddenly closed its doors. The closure has left local residents in shock.
ELK RAPIDS — A Northern Michigan nursing home has shut it's doors after 30 years in business.
Art and Mary Watt, the owners of Northwood Village on US-31 in Elk Rapids, were tight lipped about the reason for the sudden closure. The Elk Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, Township Officials, and residents were shocked to hear the news.
Chamber President, Barb Mullaly says, "It has taken everybody by surprise. In a small town things like this usually rumbles through."
Northwood Village has gone through several owners over the years, but the Watt's say they've owned it for the past eight years. Elderly residents who are currently receiving care at the facility, packed their belongings Friday, and will now have to find new places to live.
Elk Rapids resident, Sarah Ward says, "I'm bummed because had we known ahead of time, maybe we could… continue reading

Controversial FAA regulations that would impose numerous new requirements on air-tour operators are one step closer to publication. The rulemaking, proposed in October 2003, is now under review at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The OMB's review and approval is the last step before the FAA can publish the regulations as a final rule.
AINalerts » September 7, 2006
The FAA extended to September 22 the public comment period for a draft reevaluation of a proposed centerfield taxiway at Boston Logan International Airport. The FAA deferred its decision on the proposed centerfield taxiway until the taxiway operations north of Runway 15R/33L were assessed. If approved by the FAA, the centerfield taxiway would be a 9,300-foot parallel taxiway between Runway 4L and 4R.
Aviall, one of the largest independent distributors of new parts for business aircraft, said the European Commission "has not raised any antitrust issues" related to its proposed acquisition by Boeing, and "therefore cleared the transaction to proceed." Antitrust clearance in the U.S. was received in June and all other regulatory approvals that are needed have now been obtained, said Aviall.
The FAA is requesting public comments on the usefulness of airport advisory services now available part- or full-time at 20 airports in the continental U.S. In the notice, the agency does not give a reason why it's asking for comments, but it could be collecting data to help decide whether the cost of continuing the service is justified.
After 15 years of auditing charter operators only at the behest of the companies or individuals who hire them, Wyvern Consulting, on Tuesday, announced that Part 135 operators can now request audits of their own operations. "It's about time we did so," Wyvern founder and president Walter Lamon told AIN.

He hit .474 (18-for-38) with four doubles, five RBIs and five runs in nine games at Colorado, Minnesota and Boston.
• Pitching: Stauffer, a No. 4 overall pick in the 2003 draft, has allowed only one earned run in 22 innings over his past three starts but won only once, 2-0 vs. the Rockies, due to a lack of run support…Luebke makes his first start of the season after spending the first three months in the bullpen. He went 1-1 with a 4.60 ERA in three starts last September.
• Miscellaneous: The Padres snapped a six-game losing streak by winning two in a row over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. The Padres are only 14-26 at home this year, 18-18 on the road.

I am amused by the showing of individual and team records against each other.
For example, what does it matter that Lowe is 5-3 with a 2.76 ERA in 16 career starts against the Padres?
Most of those starts are against teams that had a completely different lineup than this year's team, and even with different managers.
It's like saying that he does better/worse wearing a blue uni than a red one.

We just won 4 in a row, have the 2nd best record in the NL and the 4th best in the majors and all you can do is whine. Grow up and recognize the team when they are playing well. Do you guys wait around all day waiting to b*tch about things?

It may be true but are just starting to get healthy and it may not be the way that we want it but they arr winning. If you were told we would be ten games over at this point before the season started you would take it in a second. Just keep some perspective. Yes, guys are struggling more than we would exoect offensively but our pitching has been much better than we could have hoped. IT'S A LONG SEASON.
June 24th, 2011
12:24 am
Is this the back end of the Padres rotation? Dang, those are some lousy records.
I really wonder how much Lowe has left in his tank. Braves should seriously consider trading him if they can.
Jair is strong. Huddy is inconsistent. Hopefully, we can get a start like his last one.
Why are the Braves making TWO trips to Petco Park? I can't recall the last time ATL took two different trips to a NL West location since realignment.
June 24th, 2011
3:13 am
GCS…check the schedule, we made 2 trips to petco in 06 I believe. It aint that rare, and anyone who complains about 2 trips to SD in one season is f***ed in the head. So figure it out you pile of meat and stop whining like there was some injustice done to us you dickrider.

Deedle Nick,
A couple of my favorite most obvious or irrelevant stats:
"When leading after 7 innings our winning % is…"
EVERY team has a significantly higher winning % when leading after 7 innings!
"When his team scores 4 or more runs his W/L record is…"
EVERY pitcher that gets 4 or more runs in a game has a very impressive W/L record!

By the way, alex, did your mommy not give you enough attention so that you feel it necessary to attack others with inflammatory comments on every single post?

Braves batting order / lineup should be:
Schafer, CF; McLouth, LF; McCann, C; C. Jones, 3B; Heyward,RF; Freeman, 1B; Uggla, 2B; Gonzalez, SS; P.
Lots of leftys, but at least the 2 worst offenders of poor pitch selection and wasted at-bats are at the end of the lineup.

Personally, I'm loving all these trips to the west coast. Saw 4 w. Dodgers, 2 w. Padres, 1 w. Angels, and went to ATL for the opening series. Two more this weekend, and then they won't be back….ah well. Not too bad for an LA fan.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
Benjamin Brewton was very honest and up front with us from the start of our case. He worked on our case and had it resolved very quickly. I feel he helped all involved to reach a fair, beneficial solution. He kept us informed along the way. I hope to never need a lawyer but would choose him again.
Mr. Brewton was the consummate professional - timely, efficient, knowledgable, and PREPARED. He would readily listen and was trustworthy. His communication skills in the courtroom were excellent. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Brewton to my family and friends.
I too was dismissed from a medical malpractice case. Being named as a defendant in a case is disruptive to ones practice, emotionally devastating, and creates great strains on relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
But Ben and his staff exceeded my expectations given my experience with lawyers in other matters. Ben returned phone calls promptly every time. I was updated with detailed letters and phone calls of any new developments within days. When I thought I had enough and was ready to give up, he listened and responded with nothing but kind words of encouragement that kept me from unhealthy decisions.
With Ben, you get a lawyer that knows his way around the legal system, is incredibly gifted, hard working and knowledgeable; couple that with a lawyer that understands the devastating effects a lawsuit has on a practicing physician and the implications it could have on their future. You will have a hard time finding one better than this lawyer if your looking for impeccable representation.
Mr. Brewton has helped me with 2 alleged medical malpractice cases and as a result of his efforts both cases were dismissed with no payment made on my behalf. Mr. Brewton is reliable, hard working, keeps you informed, gets the job done and has excellent office staff.
I have worked with Ben Brewton for almost 10 years now. The ratings I have given Ben speak for themselves. While I checked "litigation" as the type cases I have hired him for, he contributes far more than trying cases for our Company. I have used him in mediations, appeals and briefs of some of our other cases he is not directly involved with, as well as other general legal requests. Ben is very confident and knowledgeable in what he does as one can tell from the outcome of his work. I have worked with many other lawyers as well Ben in the southeast and I would certainly consider Ben one of the best if not the best. He is a sensational trial lawyer and I would highly recommend him.

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI (WSAU) - An 18-year-old Minnesota man will be in court today on animal abuse charges. 18-year-old Nong Vang told Wisconsin Rapids officers it was his puppy and he could do with it whatever he wanted. Prosecutors say he cut off a puppy's ears with a razor blade.
The animal survived the attack but was severely disfigured and lost a large amount of blood.
The alleged mutilation of the 4-to-5 month old puppy happened in June of 2009 when Vang was 15.
Vang is expected to enter a plea in Wood County court at 2:00 p.m. He could get up to 3-1/2 years in prison if convicted. Vang is currently free on a $2,000 cash bond.
Cropping dog ears is common for some breeds and is done by trained professionals. In some cases, dog ears are cropped for the purpose of illegal dog fighting, so the opposing dog has less to hang on to during a fight. Vang was charged with mistreatment of an animal after investigators had a veterinarian examine the puppy.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported that the puppy did not survive the incident. A corrected story is now posted. We regret the error.

Tweedy Browne's Top Stocks (Part II)
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In my previous article, I wrote about Tweedy Browne's two largest positions: Johnson & Johnson and Cisco Systems. Those two stocks seem to be qualified for investors to hold for the long run. In this article, I will cover two oil/gas stocks that Tweedy Browne is bullish about. One is Devon Energy Corp (NYSE: DVN) and the other is ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP). Those two stocks combined accounted for 10.8% of its portfolio. Let's look closely to see whether or not we should buy those two stocks for our own portfolios.
Devon- The Cheapest and The Most Profitable
Devon Energy is one of the leading energy company in the US with the operations in different North America onshore areas in the US and Canada. The majority of its revenue, $7.15 billion, or 75.3% of the total revenue, was generated from the sale of oil, gas and natural gas liquids (NGL). The second biggest revenue source was the marketing and midstream segment, with nearly $1.66 billion in revenue in 2012. Devon Energy generated a loss of $206 million in 2012 as it incurred more than $2 billion in asset impairments. In December 2012, Devon had estimated proved reserves of around 3 billion BOE.
Devon didn't employ huge amounts of debt in its operation. As of December 2012, it had $21.3 billion in total stockholders' equity, $7 billion in cash and short-term investments, and nearly $11.65 billion in both long and short-term debt. The company generated around $5.2 billion in EBITDA, thus the Debt/EBITDA ratio stayed at around 2.24x. At the current trading price of $54.15 per share, Devon's total market capitalization is nearly $22 billion. The market is valuing Devon at around 5.13 times EV/EBITDA. The company is paying investors a dividend yield of 1.5%.
Compared to its peers Encana Corporation (NYSE: ECA) and EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG), Devon has the cheapest valuation. Encana, with a trading price of $18.23 per share, is worth $13.42 billion on the market. The market is valuing Encana at 7.86 times EV/EBITDA. Among the three, EOG is the largest company with nearly $34.5 billion in total market cap. At the current price of $126.90 per share, the market is valuing EOG at 8.96 times EV/EBITDA. What makes me interested is that although Devon is valued the cheapest, it also the most profitable company among the three. It enjoyed 26% operating margin, while the operating margins of Encana and EOG were only 5% and 12%, respectively.
As of December 2012, Tweedy Brown owned nearly 3.74 million shares, with the total value of about $194.5 million, representing 5.7% of its total portfolio. Devon was the third largest position in Tweedy Brown's portfolio.
The Largest Independent Oil & Gas Company
The fourth largest position was ConocoPhillips. It had nearly 3 million shares in the company, with a total market value of more than $173.2 million, accounting for 5.1% of its total portfolio. ConocoPhillips is considered the largest global independent exploration and production company, with worldwide operations. As of December 2012, it had 8.6 billion BOE in proved reserves. ConocoPhillips also had a quite conservative balance sheet as well. It had nearly $48 billion in total stockholders' equity, more than $27 billion in cash and investments, and nearly $21 billion in debt. With the current trading price of $58.20 per share, ConocoPhillips is worth more than $71 billion on the market. It is valued quite cheaply, at only 4.24 times EV/EBITDA. ConocoPhillips is paying to investors a decent dividend yield of 4.6%.
Foolish Bottom Line
Indeed, both Devon and ConocoPhillips are worth holding for the long run as they are quite profitable, valued quite cheaply on the market, and employed reasonable amount of leverage. In addition, both of them might fit well with the portfolios of income investors, as both are paying sustainable and increasing dividends over time.

No Allusion About Auralex
Dec 1, 2011, By Sarah Benzuly
When Allusion Studios (Tucson, Ariz.) head engineer Jim Pavett made the call to overhaul the space—including the control room, live/drum room, vocal booth, iso spaces and lounge—he logged onto Auralex's site to fill out the Room Analysis Plus service. This program allowed him to download an audio file with a swept sine signal from 20 to 20k Hz. Pavett then recorded the sweep with an omnidirectional measurement mic and forwarded it, with the Personalized Room Analysis Form, direct to Auralex for examination. ...

Oct 1, 2011, By Tom Kenny
Dave Lichtenstein is an avid surfer, so it's not really in his nature to feel the pressure to do anything too quickly. But he's also an artist, so he knows what he wants and he cares about quality sound. After nearly 30 years in and around the recording industry—as an engineer, writer and performer, with various sidetracks along the way—Lichtenstein knew he wanted to build a big room that was comfortable for musicians, a place where a band or a small orchestra could come together to play. Now he's got one, and it's a beauty. ...

The week that we telephoned Blade Studios (Shreveport, La.), co-owner/producer/drummer Brady Blade and chief engineer Chris Bell were in Studio A with videogame developers Rob Atkins and Adrian Carmack (Doom and Quake Series) scoring the Fallen Shadows II videogame. Action in the second Fallen Shadows game takes place in New Orleans, and Blade says the score is generally "creepy." Over the phone, Bell played back some music from the "All Saints Morgue" scene; it's an eerie sequence of tones and percussive sounds, built around the ominous thump of a heartbeat. ...

Tastes and technology evolve, but the principles of acoustics remain the same. Another immutable reality: "Sooner or later, you need some kind of facility to create content," as 40-plus-year studio designer John Storyk says. And though the music recording industry has never seen stranger times, there seems to be no end of public demand for "content." ...

We're taught from a very young age that hard work pays off, that if we practice, put in the hours and hone a skill, we will find success. Parents tell us this almost before we can talk, then teachers, Little League coaches, instructors of private music lessons. Then later we hear it from college professors, who tell us that with good grades we will get a good job, if we do the work and do it well, we will be rewarded. ...

Penn State Harrisburg was ready to face a Washington Adventist team that was coming off a massive win over Division II Shippensburg, ranked 17th in the nation at the time.
The clash between the Lions and the Shock was nothing short of spectacular – if you're a Lion fan.
Penn State Harrisburg scored three first-half goals to beat Washington Adventist, 3-0, on Sunday, Sept. 21 in Middletown.
The intensity and effort of the Lions (5-1) were evident from the start against the Shock (4-2-1). Fortunately, teamwork was the theme of this game, as every pass seemed to find its target.
The Lions' domination started with a crafty pass from Ricardo Quintana that led to a cross from Victor Weaver that found Alex Panuccio, who scored the first goal of the day.
The goal seemed to open the floodgates for Penn State Harrisburg. Austin Katz blew past five Adventist defenders and found Aaron Kline, who scored the Lions' second goal.
Ten minutes later, a foul by Lion defender Mike Jones that stopped a Shock breakaway earned a red card, forcing the Blue & White to play a man down for the remaining 65 minutes.
Penn State Harrisburg's defense was up to the challenge, however, led by Jon Willingham and Deven Gerhart, who shot down any kind of attack from Adventist. The Lions kept control of the game all the way.

Alyssa Crowley scored her first two goals of the season to lead Penn State Harrisburg to a 3-2 victory over Albright on Saturday, Sept. 6 in Middletown.
The Blue & White (2-1) played their best half of soccer so far this season, moving the ball smoothly up the field to create scoring opportunities.
Crowley got things started when she finished off a Leann Kazawic near-post cross just 13 minutes into the game.
Penn State Harrisburg needed a solid save or two from goalkeeper Mackenzie Gates and some quality defensive work from center back Danell Engle but overall played quality soccer in the first half and held a major advantage in time of possession.
The game evened up in the second half with both teams going end-to-end. Penn State Harrisburg's Morgan Gates broke the game open with a left-footed rip from 25 yards out to give the Blue & White a 2-0 lead.
Albright responded in the 71st minute when a corner kick bounced off a Penn State Harrisburg player and into the Lions' net for an own goal.
But minutes later, Mackenzie Gates got an uncommon assist from the keeper position when her long punt bounced the length of the field to Crowley, whose goal made it 3-1.
A lightning strike caused an hour delay at the 73rd minute - and allowed Albright to regroup. Albright pushed hard to start a rally, and its efforts paid off in the 86th minute with a goal.
But the Lions kept their composure and stayed behind the ball until the final whistle to hold on for the win.

Penn State Harrisburg used two second-half goals to pull away from Mt. Aloysius en route to a 3-1 victory in the Lions' home opener on Wednesday, Sept. 3 in Middletown.
Freshman Matthew Vaz put the Blue & White on the board first, while captain Malik Cameron netted the game winner and Jimmy Bilger put the game out of reach in the final minutes.
"I am very proud of the lads' performance tonight," said Penn State Harrisburg Coach Seamus Donnelly. "That was a very physical challenge and it is not the type of game we try to play here. We had to earn the right to play our game, and I think we did that."
Vaz, playing in just his second collegiate game, put the Lions ahead late in the first half when he made a great move to his left and struck a ball into the upper half of the Mounties' goal from 20 yards out in the game's 41st minute.
Mount Aloysius evened things up 12 minutes into the second half when Kevin Ouellette headed home a shot off an assist from Xavier Cardona.
When presented with a golden opportunity nearly 20 minutes later, Penn State Harrisburg (2-0) took full advantage. Freshman Victor Weaver found Cameron off a corner kick from the left side. Cameron made the finish in traffic and gave the Lions a 2-1 advantage in the 76th minute.
Bilger capped the scoring when he gathered a loose ball in the Mounties' half of the field, shook loose of a defender and fired a tremendous shot that found the right side of the Mounties' net in the 84th minute, ending any threat of a late-game Mount Aloysius equalizer.
Physical play was the name of the game, as the two teams combined for five yellow cards and 28 total fouls.
The Lions outshot the Mounties 14-1 and took control in the game's final 15 minutes thanks to four shots and two scores in a 10-minute span.
"We defended very well, as we always do," said Donnelly. "We passed the ball as well as we ever have and we looked dangerous in the final third. Still very much a work in progress, but so far I'm very happy."

Penn State Harrisburg kicked off its 2014 campaign with a 1-0 shutout victory over former North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) rival Lancaster Bible on Friday, Aug. 29 in Lancaster.
Senior Jon Willingham netted the contest's lone goal off an assist from sophomore Austin Katz in the game's 74th minute.
"I thought it was a very tough, intense game," said Penn State Harrisburg Coach Seamus Donnelly. "Full credit to Lancaster Bible – they threw everything they had at us and we were a little lucky to survive in the end."
Lucky or not, the Lions were able to exorcise some of 2013's demons by reversing a discouraging trend that saw them drop seven one-goal decisions last season. It was only a matter of time before the ball bounced the way of the Blue & White.
The difference maker came when Katz found Willingham off a corner kick late in the second half. Willingham headed Katz's offering into the left side of the Lancaster Bible net to give the Lions a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
"Going forward, we know we need to get better in some areas, but our outlook for the season remains very positive," said Donnelly.
The Lions' third year head coach was pleased with the work of midfielders Matt Vazand and Alex Panuccio in their first collegiate outings as Penn State Harrisburg players.
Lion goalkeeper Brandon Hoover turned away five Charger attempts, including a highlight reel-worthy, full extension save in the first half.
"We had to withstand some scary moments but it was exactly the start we needed," said Donnelly. "It was a real test for sure.''

For much of the season, it's seemed like Penn State Harrisburg has been one bounce of the ball, one fortunate break, one key run away from picking up crucial victories.
Instead, the Lions have ended up on the wrong end of those situations more times than they would have liked this year. The Lions' matchup against Southern Virginia on Saturday, Feb. 8 was no different.
After falling behind by as many as 18 points, the Blue & White made it a one possession game late in regulation. Unfortunately, the Lions failed to get a decisive defensive stop when it mattered most and ultimately fell to the Knights, 74-67 in Middletown.
Will Doyle continued his recent string of stellar outings for Penn State Harrisburg (7-14), dropping a game-high 16 points on Southern Virginia (5-13). He also dished out a game-high five assists. Sophomore Jared Deibler, a Middletown Area High School graduate, added 12 points and a team-high six rebounds off the bench. Teammate Rayshaun Anderson-Brown was also strong, posting 11 points and five boards.
The Lions were strong out of the gate, jumping out to a 12-5 lead when Joey Farthing converted a layup at the 14:42 mark.
The Knights regrouped and kept things close during the game's opening 10 minutes. Southern Virginia's Wesley Evans connected from beyond the 3-point arc with 7:06 remaining in the first half to tie the score, 20-20.
From there, Southern Virginia ended the half on a 12-4 run and took a 32-24 advantage into the break.
After both teams struggled to get going offensively to begin the second half, Penn State Harrisburg scored 6 unanswered points to cut the deficit to 32-30 on a layup by Winton Lyle with 15:22 left to play.
But just as quickly as the Blue & White climbed back into the game, Southern Virginia increased its lead thanks to a 12-0 run over the next two minutes.
Trailing 52-34 with about 8:00 left to play, the Lions made one last push.
Penn State Harrisburg traded buckets with the Knights before getting stops on the defensive end that allowed the Lions to cut into Southern Virginia's lead. The Lions put together an 18-8 run over a stretch of 4:30 to bring them within 4 points, 62-58 with 2:06 left in the game.
Unfortunately, that's as close as the Lions would get.
Doyle and Anderson-Brown did their best to keep the Lions in it, but every time the Blue & White made a big shot, Southern Virginia had an answer.
The two teams shot nearly identically from the field (43.5 percent to 42.1 percent), but Southern Virginia held the edge in shooting from distance, knocking down nine 3-balls compared to just three by the Blue & White.
The Lions also struggled from the foul line, shooting just 58.8 percent.
Lions 75
Frostburg St. 65
Behind a career-high 22 points from freshman Logan Stovall, Penn State Harrisburg upended Capital Athletic Conference foe Frostburg State on Thursday, Feb. 6 in Frostburg, Md., ending the Lions' six-game losing streak.
Three other Penn State Harrisburg players reached the double-digit scoring mark: Doyle netted 14, dished out a game-high five assists and pulled in a team-best five rebounds; Kenny Stone dropped 15 on the Bobcats; and freshman Marquese Daniels added 13 points.
The Lions fell behind 9-2 in the early going before putting together a 7-2 run that got them back into contention.
After Frostburg (2-19, 1-12 in the conference) jumped back out in front 20-13, the Blue & White again fought back, cutting the deficit to 20-17 thanks to Doyle's trey at the 7:09 mark.
A Stone jump shot pulled Penn State Harrisburg (4-8 in the conference) to within 1 point, and the Lions grabbed their first lead of the game, 23-22, when Stovall converted a layup with 4:26 left in the first half.
Both squads traded the advantage over the next several minutes until Stovall knocked down a shot from beyond the arc to put Penn State Harrisburg out in front 35-32 heading into halftime.
Doyle connected for another triple just seconds after the break to increase the Lions' lead to 38-32, but the Bobcats battled back over the next 4:00, with a pair of Torrell Goodman free throws drawing Frostburg to within 1 point, 43-42 with 15:17 left to play.
Over the next few minutes, however, the Blue & White steadily began to put distance between themselves and Frostburg State.
Deibler converted two free throws to put Penn State Harrisburg ahead 50-44 at the 12:24 mark and Doyle flushed another 3-ball to push the Lions' advantage to 53-44 with 11:41 remaining.
Free throws by Stone and Lyle extended Penn State Harrisburg's lead to 61-51 with 7:13 left to play, and Stone's layup at the 6:03 mark kept the Blue & White advantage in the double-digits.
Frostburg cut the deficit to just 5 points when Nick Smoot connected from downtown with 2:19 remaining. That's as close as the Bobcats would get the rest of the way.
Frostburg was forced to foul and Daniels and Stovall converted their free throws down the stretch to keep the Bobcats at bay.
The game's most telling statistic came in the form of reserve play. Penn State Harrisburg got 52 points from its bench compared to just 10 by he Bobcats' backups.
The Lions also shot a stout 58.1 percent from the field compared to just 38.8 percent for Frostburg.
The Blue & White shot 55.6 percent from beyond the arc. Frostburg managed just 26.7 percent shooting from distance.

First step: Stop thinking of it as a job. Done correctly, oral sex can be satisfying for both of you.
By Anna Davies
Take control
For established partners, oral sex "can be one of the most empowering things to do because you're taking charge of his pleasure," say Mark Michaels and Patricia Johnson, authors of Bedded Bliss. "That can amp up your own arousal." It's also a time to be exploratory, playful, and fun. With that in mind, do what feels best for you—and by all means request that he return the favor. Once you're ready, start slowly and maintain eye contact as you begin to move your hand up and down his shaft. If you'd like, prep the area by adding a bit of flavored lube that's safe for consumption, like Babeland's Babelicious line, which can make the act a little more palatable and help any initial hand actions go more smoothly.

If you can't stand the cold, head to Anchorage, Alaska, because it's warmer there than here.
"It's absolutely crazy," Gary Lessor, a meteorologist with the Western Connecticut State University Weather Center, said Wednesday, a day that saw temperatures creep into the 20s. "It's 40 degrees in Alaska. Unfortunately, for the next two to three weeks, thanks to the polar vortex, we will be seeing temperatures way below normal."
Lessor said in layman's terms, the polar vortex simply means that the coldest air in the Northern Hemisphere is locked in the northeast quarter of the country, making it unseasonably cold.
The snowstorm that began Tuesday afternoon and ended Wednesday morning brought about 8 inches in Groton, although Lessor said that accurate snowfall totals would be hard to figure because the wind compacted the fluffy snow.
The National Weather Service reported that Colchester received 7.5 inches of snow, Norwich 7 inches and
Ledyard about 6 inches.
Most school districts in the region closed in response to the overnight snow.
Jason Gallup, whose family owns Professional Grounds Maintenance in Waterford, was shoveling the sidewalk on Eugene O'Neill Drive in New London at about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
He said his crew had been working almost nonstop since about 2 p.m. Tuesday. He said the fluffy snow is easy to shovel so it isn't terribly taxing on the back.
"This is about the eighth storm that we had to respond to," he said. "It's getting pretty tiring. I'm about done and looking forward to spring."
But Lessor said thanks to the polar vortex, winter will be long and drawn out and miserably cold, with temperatures at some points dipping below zero when the wind chill is factored in.
He said temperatures are running about 15 degrees below normal.
Today, we can expect a high of 20 degrees, but with the wind chill it will feel as low as minus 12 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
"This is the weather for southeastern Canada, not Connecticut," Lessor said. "It's just going to be extremely cold."

Love those dish towels!
That blue kitchen cart will be mine. I don't care if it becomes the next Expedit and everyone has it --- I LOVE IT!
Griffin, I've been wanting one of those for a while too and I've finally got a spot that needs one: holding plants (and, on the lower shelves, stacks of slab-like art books) in front of a window.
I need EVERYTHING from this post!! Too cute!!
Too bad I have a roommate who owns the place and our kitchen looks like a sad early 90's country kitchen.
Great roundup, Tara!
I need that World Market jar. It'd be perfect to hold notions in my sewing room!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Amazing quality of printing services and most importantly, the designer was patient with my 5+ changes to my proofs. They were extremely courteous and listened to all my requests. My only complaint is that the postcard is slightly smaller than I expected - smaller than a normal postcard. Also, I cut my photo exactly to the specs they listed for the card and it never fit! Something is not right on the dimensions. But, I can't complain about the service and overall quality, plus the customization with multiple fonts/colors was excellent. I will definitely be using WPD for my printing needs to all things wedding!"
"I personalized our save the dates in aqua, one of the main colors of our wedding, and added photos from our engagement shoot. They arrived quickly, and the quality was amazing, especially for the price. Everyone loves them, and I know they're hanging on more than a few refrigerators! I am always recommending wedding paper divas to anyone for all their printing needs, and will be coming back for my college graduation invitations!"
"I was very impressed with the design and the quality of the paper. It's very sturdy for a postcard. I am getting married in November, so I was looking for an elegant Fall design. The text is clear and to the point. Very easy to read and to post for an easy reminder. Also the customer service was excellent! They were very helpful when I called the next day when I needed to edit words before printing. I highly recommend this design for a fall wedding or any wedding paper diva product."
"Our experience with WPD was wonderful! The delivery was fast and efficient. We were thrilled with the simple, yet delicate design and the colors available. The only thing we would have liked as an option were rounded edges for the postcards. Otherwise, we were 100% satisfied with our choice with WPD."
"I liked this design very much and customized it with a yellow color in the center (keeping the white text and fonts). Although the proof looked good (I realize now I should have viewed it as actual size and not enlarged), the finished product was very difficult to read and I was not comfortable sending them out without knowing if our guests would be able to read the wedding date and location! I can't say enough about the customer service I received from Wedding Paper Divas. They let me return my first order for a full refund and customize a reprint with darker text and a different font. I've included the finished product here, it looks much better and I am very satisfied. Just a note to potential buyers - if I did it again I may opt to go with the flat card/envelope rather than the postcard. I am worried the postcards will get damaged in the mail and about the postmarking the post office will add. This is just a practical consideration and not a reflection on WPD."

Treating Heavy Oil Wastewater for Beneficial Use by Integrated Technology of Bio-Oxidation and RO
Heavy oil exploitation wastewater is characterized by its high concentration of emulsified oil, high salinity, high temperature and complex chemical components. This paper discuss a successful pilot-scale demonstration application of a unique technology integrating heat exchanger, gas floatation, biological contact oxygen, filtration, ultra-filtration, reverse osmosis at Chenzhuang oilfield. The scale of the process was about 360 m3/d, and the performance of the treatment process, the effectiveness of the technology for removal of oil and for controlling RO membranes fouling, and the economic effect are also discussed. Operation results show that the biological contact oxidation--ultra filtration process can reduce the oil contents to less than 0.5 mg/L and TDS to less than 3. The conductivity of RO effluent is below 456 μS·cm-1, the treated water can meet the required standard for steam-injected boiler, and it can also be used to prepare polymer solution for viscosity keeping.

I see nothing wrong with mixing your drinks. To be honest, the headache you're dealing with isn't because you've had wine then beer then whisky, it's because you've had wine and beer and whisky (with a couple of cheeky tequilas thrown in for good measure). It's excess, not the booze's fault.

Harlem residents call Loreen Reynolds the Energizer Bunny: giving, efficient, selfless, even bossy.
For all those reasons, she was named on Thursday as the Harlem Woman's Club 2011 Citizen of the Year.
"I do a lot, but there's a lot of people that do it with me," said Reynolds, when surprised with the award.
Harlem United Methodist Church Pastor Tom Drake, in a letter read at the ceremony, said Reynolds has a heart for serving others.
Harlem woman arrested for leaving children
Authorities arrested a Harlem woman Monday after a neighbor found two of the woman's young children in the street.
Kaneesha Yevette Johnson, 21, of the 6400 block of Campbell's Way, was charged with contributing to the deprivation of a minor.
As more people are choosing texting as a primary source of communication, the Columbia County Recreation and Events Department is joining the trend.
Residents can now sign up to receive text messages informing them of upcoming county events, recreation game cancellations and sports registration.
"It's just a quicker way to get the word out about those kinds of things," said county Recreation and Events Manager Stacie Adkins.
Adkins first proposed the idea in November at a Community and Leisure Services Committee meeting.

The pair are young male beagles, who work for U.S. Customs and Border Protection after going through intensive training at the National Detector Dog Training Center in Newnan, Ga.

We've heard the cliché hundreds of times in our lives: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Like most of us, Larry Chalker has had his share of difficulties and disappointments in life, but he has never let those hardships keep him down. He readily credits learning to get tough when circumstances are tough to his mother, Ellen Kennedy, and his coaches.
The Thomson City Council voted Thursday to approve variances on the football stadium property to allow for the installation of new bleachers and a press box.
The new, larger bleachers will create more seating at the Thomson High School stadium, but will be pushed closer to the property line. The stands will also sit higher to allow for dressing areas to be built underneath.
A love of basketball led Clayton Parrish to his current position as principal of Briarwood Academy.
At 23, he thought he wanted to manage a textile mill. He had already earned his bachelors in industrial management from Clemson University, but his mother suggested he apply for a job as Briarwood's basketball coach. They needed one badly.
"I thought, well, I'll give it a try. I said I'd do it for one year," he said. "I absolutely fell in love with it."

Columbia County authorities arrested a 12-year-old girl Friday for writing a bomb threat in a Columbia Middle School bathroom stall.
The girl was charged with making terroristic threats or acts and disrupting a public school, both felonies, Columbia County sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris said.

Garlic Clove Italian Eatery in Evans is moving less than a mile away to a larger space at 4534 Washington Road, according to owner Jeff Freehof.
The space in the Eagle Pointe shopping center was formerly occupied by Mi Rancho, which recently moved to a new location in Riverwood Plantation.
Freehof said the new building offers a bar area and two private meeting rooms, something the 4461 Washington Road location did not have.

Gartner kicked off its Infrastructure & Operations Management Summit last week with a top 10 list of the most significant emerging trends that will impact data centers and information technology used by businesses and government from now into the next four or five years.
The list was presented by Gartner Chief of Research Dave Cappuccio in a keynote address, in which he explained there's often a cascading effect as one trend such as employee mobile devices and cloud use affects others such as help desk operations.

The top 10 trends are:
1. Consumerization and the tablet: Widespread use of tablets, such as the iPad, and other mobile devices in business isn't seen as replacing the traditional computer desktop entirely, but the tablets trend will bring about "more specific applications to do specific things," Cappuccio noted, and "the days of monolithic suites" of applications seems to be going away because of it. Companies using them, including for BYOD (bring your own device) use, should recognize there's a lot of unmanaged storage in tablets and smartphones they should be managing.
2. Infinite data center: The movement toward smaller size but greater density in data centers, combined with a trend to analyze performance per kilowatt, is leading to energy management as a newer type of discipline, even for "moderately energy-intensive organizations," by 2017, said Cappuccio, where a focus on energy-management information systems is apparent.
3. Resource management: Virtualization of servers is well along but businesses still haven't gotten the maximum performance benefits they can get in workload management. And water use as a coolant in data centers is another trend to know about. He said data center information management vendors should be evaluated to see if they can bring anything to data center resource management.
4. Mobility and the personal cloud: "The whole concept of PCs is going away," said Cappuccio, noting that employees, who today often carry multiple mobile devices, may want to use some of them under BYOD conditions in the enterprise. Not only should enterprises immediately evaluate BYOD for their own situations, and consider a "self-service culture for users," but acknowledge that mobility is going to have a cascading effect on how internal physical infrastructure is built -- or not built at all -- in the future.
