Largest ever study finds abortion increases risk of severe mental health problems by 81%
"….the largest quantitative estimate of mental health risks associated with abortion available in the world literature." The research revealed that abortion was associated with a 34% increased risk for anxiety disorders; 37% greater risk of depression; 110% greater risk of alcohol abuse and 220% greater risk of marijuana use/abuse. Abortion was also linked with a 155% greater risk of attempting to commit suicide.
I have said it before….abortion is bad for women.
Perhaps you are unaware of this study, which :
A) more clinically valid
B) more scientifically stringent
C) more comprehensive
D) less biased
E) produced using the proper methodology
F) published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and
G) points out that your "study" is full of shit.
Has it crossed your mind to wonder why a "researcher" in Bowling Green, OH had to go to the British Journal of Psychiatry to get her "study" published?
Do you have a theory as to why you had to go to Life Site "News" to obtain this "information?"
Are you aware of how the process of getting a study published works?
Did you bother to research Priscilla K. Coleman, whose work is "logically inconsistent" and potentially "substantially inflated" by faulty methodology?" Did you know that "other researchers have been unable to reproduce Coleman's results on abortion and mental health despite using the same dataset?"
Did you know that, per the APA, "the studies by Coleman, and her co-authors have "inadequate or inappropriate" controls and don't adequately control "for women's mental health prior to the pregnancy and abortion?"
Do you understand causation? Correlation? Proper research methodology? Basic psychology? Basic math?
The only thing in this post that is bad for women: anti-choicers like yourself and "Dr." Coleman, who continue to spread false information and stick your fingers in your ears yelling "LA LA LA LA LA" when confronted with science, math, and reality.
foradayofsky drops the mic, exits
I cheer and lol @ anti-choicers
I am wholly embarrassed that this woman is allowed to teach at a university near me. :( BGSU, I expect better of you. :/
Nng, I don't expect BG to do any better. I'm surprised I haven't heard about this before, actually.
So many conflicting feelings on this topic, though. Abortion is a traumatic event and will have psychological repercussions, and I feel that this is a fact. However, I feel that those could be minimized by a lot if we didn't demonize the process in our society, and didn't guilt women so much about the choices they made. If we, y'know, didn't stigmatize the right to do with your body what you feel is best.
The same people hailing that abortion is bad for women's mental health are over half the reason WHY it is bad for women's mental health. There is enough guilt and sorrow going on there that no one really needs your help, conservatives. Seriously. And if I ever meet the woman who did this study I may become violent.
I have spoken to many women who have had abortions and, in general, they do regret it…
But less because they did, and more because they had to for whatever reason.
Whoever did this study needs to never talk to me because I may break their face.
Re the bolded part of happyvegetable's response:
Abortion is a traumatic event and will have psychological repercussions, and I feel that this is a fact.
No, no, no, no.
Okay, so you "feel" this is a fact.
Congratulations, you have feelings. You are equal to every other random person on the internet.
That does not make your opinion any more a fact.
Because that's all that bolded statement is. You feel that abortion is a traumatic event with inherent psychological repercussions. The key words here are YOU and FEEL. You see, that whole "I feel" part means it's your opinion and you cannot just treat it like a blanket statement of fact that applies to all people.
Having an abortion is a traumatic event for many people. Whether because it was a wanted pregnancy gone wrong, or because they would have kept it if only circumstances were right, or because the pregnancy was a result of sexual violence and so the abortion is associated with that event for them, or for any number of other reasons. And for these people, there may indeed be psychological repercussions, and they deserve access to nonjudgmental help and care should they want it.
However, there are also many people for whom abortion is not traumatic in the slightest and who have no particular psychological repercussions. I am one of them. Oh, sure, abortion is traumatic for everyone, sure…mine was so traumatic I have to stop and calculate to even remember what year it was or how many years it's been. (Actually right now I do know it off the top of my head, but only because I got a 5-year IUD two months after the abortion and I had to have that replaced this summer, so it's a useful benchmark.) For me, abortion was annoying, time-consuming, cranky-making, a pain in the ass, and an unexpected expense. Afterward, the only emotions I felt were relief and gladness that it was over and I could go on with my life. Psychological repercussions? Eh, not so much.
Look, I agree with the rest of your response - the only negative emotion I experienced post-abortion was guilt for not feeling guilty, which was a weird experience and directly related to anti-choice shaming around the issue far more than it had anything to do with the fact of having had the abortion itself, so I definitely agree that they are themselves a lot of the problem.
But statements like yours, using an ostensibly pro-choice framing that uncritically present abortion as an inherently traumatic experience for everyone, without taking into account the range of human experiences and emotions around the issue, were ALSO a huge part of my guilt-trip-trigger. I mean, fuck, if my own side is buying into that narrative, maybe there really *is* something shameful about having an abortion, something bad, maybe I *am* a bad person for not being at all bothered by the experience.
The only thing you or anyone else can ever say an abortion inherently does in every case, is end a pregnancy. The amount of difficulty or ease, emotional disturbance or positive emotion, will vary depending on the person and the circumstances. You don't speak for every person affected by an abortion situation, any more than these people with their "I regret my abortion" signs do. If you experienced psychological repercussions and trauma after an abortion, I'm truly sorry, but all that means is that YOU have that reaction. If these women regret their abortions, I feel bad for them, but all that means is THEY regret their abortions. The experience of having an abortion is highly individual, and I absolutely cannot stand ANYONE, our side OR theirs, making blanket statements about how abortion affects people because those kinds of statements have no basis in reality.

Excellent blend of flavors - fresh ginger made the recipe great. Good way to add more fiber to your diet. Used feta cheese as that's what I had on hand.
Wheat Berry Salad with Raisins and Pistachios

Loved the salad. The only change I made was to use walnuts as thats what I had on hand. The flavor was terrific and this would make a wonderful addition to a picnic or potluck menu. I'm also sharing with one of my friends who has a vegetarian child. Thanks again!
jexica Posted: 04/08/10
I had been looking for ways to use my wheat berries, and this was delicious! Very filling, too.
Eggcellent Posted: 02/08/11
We loved this. I didn't have lemons or the juice so I used lime. I also forgot the fresh ginger so used powdered and it still was so good that my husband doesn't even want to try it with lemon juice. It is a frequent do over in our house. I especially loved the chewy quality of the wheat berries.
happychopper Posted: 05/02/11
This was a wonderful dish! I didn't have fresh ginger or coriander, so I used a pinch of ground ginger and a dash of nutmeg. I also added a little more sweetness to the dressing with stevia extract. Also, mixed in some currants. The complex flavors and textures made this a winner!
GayleR Posted: 04/06/11
I was looking for a recipe to use up wheat berries, and loved this one. I used regular raisins and feta cheese and omitted the cilantro. I'll make this again. It would be pretty with dried cranberries and fresh parsley.
Carlyn1 Posted: 07/26/11
I made this salad with cranberries instead of raisins and served it without the goat cheese (because I didn't have it on hand) and it was fabulous! What a delicious side dish.
Emscot20 Posted: 01/20/13
Absolutely delicious. One of my friends made it for our Cooking Club and it was outstanding. She used cranberries instead of raisins though. Will definitely make it for the next family BBQ or picnic.

Beyonce performance during halftime was flawless.
Beyonce wowed the crowed starting with "Love on Top," then transitioning to "Crazy in Love," "End of Time," and "Baby Boy". I was in awe to see Destiny's Child reunion Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland joined Beyonce and started with "Bootylicious" and worked through "Independent Woman" then ended with collaborating on "Single Ladies".
What did you think of her performance?

The news about the world's economies continues to vacillate: faster growth, slower growth — the situation seems to change daily. In the United States, the reason for this is the slower speed of the economy compared with other periods. We are not struggling at "stall speed," but we are not in a robust expansion either. The result is a constant flow of mixed messages – good news, then bad news, then more good news, overall balancing each other out to create a growth rate of around 2%. But is that bad news or good news?
This past spring, the manufacturing sector showed a disturbing slowing trend. But that current reversed direction in June, as manufacturing indices in the US all moved forward.
In another example, new home construction gained ground steadily all spring. Then suddenly housing stocks fell and new orders dropped. The consumer cycle, though more consistent, has also shown vacillation.
Do not overreact
The first lesson is that one should not overreact to either the good news or the bad. Rather, the watchful investor needs to look at the driving trends of income from paychecks, corporate cash flow and the affordability of products, keeping these fundamental drivers in mind.
This summer, we are seeing what appears to be the same pattern of volatility in Europe. We saw weakening economic data in June, followed by news in August that the eurozone is now out of recession. In the emerging world, the news from China, for example, has been mostly bad this whole year. But now, suddenly, it has thrown up a couple of leading indicators that seem to suggest that its economy is poised to accelerate.
It is as if the world were operating on alternating, not direct, current. One explanation may lie in the nature of this particular business cycle, now four years old. In the United States, cycles often begin to take on a "growth fury," as growth expansions encourage rising confidence, which soon begets rising credit demands. Then, credit standards are loosened and all boats seem to rise with the incoming tide. In these historical cycles, the US real growth rate has sometimes hit 5% or 6% for individual quarters. This cycle, however, is decidedly different, with no 5% or 6 % growth in sight. It is an expansion with crosscurrents that balance each other out to create a mediocre run rate. We have seen a distinct, alternating pattern of good news, then bad news. This mixed picture may provide investors with important, positive information, rather than confusion.
A longer cycle?
A second, more important, lesson may be that this particular cycle is going to be longer, more durable and more organically sustainable. This cycle is distinctly different from the euphoric periods of recent decades. There's a noted absence of the hyperexcitement of companies borrowing to expand their businesses and consumers rushing out to spend more and more with their credit cards and home equity loans. Those cycles ended badly. If this is truly a slower, more measured economic pace — and it seems to be — then the biggest threat to stocks would be a correction, rather than an imminent recession. It may be that the next horrid recession is farther in the distance than previously thought.
Wealth effects help the economy, and we can see that consumer net worth is rising faster than consumer debt. The same is true for S&P 500 companies. A debt cycle has not yet formed. Typically, business cycles ride a wave of credit expansion, and a period of hyperactivity occurs, in which credit leads the charge. This is followed by a severe pullback, as the US Federal Reserve pulls money out of the system and raises rates, usually to halt inflationary pressures. A lot of growth in previous cycles was not organic, but driven by debt and fueled by confidence and speculation. Right now, the tepid 2% US growth rate is organic, not speculative. Further, it is not leading to bubbles that are threatening the system.
Outside the United States, China's growth rate is receding as its leaders try to engineer a fundamental economic change toward the Chinese consumer while trying to rein in a borrowing binge that has created excesses that have not yet been worked off. In Europe, growth seems to have resumed after the second of two recessions in five years. Predictors for Euro growth see better times coming in late 2013, but a much more muted recovery seems likely, as government debt problems persist.
The US currently shows no signs of entering another recession. The country took its medicine in 2009, fixing the banks, allowing prices to reset and permitting labor costs to fall relative to foreign competition. This allowed the healing forces of low rates, population growth and an innovative business climate to take hold.
Going slow might not be a bad thing. The US economy is on a cautious Sunday drive, slowing down here, picking up speed a bit there, guardedly rounding the next bend. No decisive breakout in either economic direction seems to take hold for long. One sector seems to accelerate and offsets another sector that is slowing. All in all, the US is balancing out into a sustainable, sober rate of growth that could last for years, well beyond the length of a typical business cycle. It is this environment plus any good news from abroad that will make investors look twice at stocks and less lovingly at long-term bonds. When the cycle moves to the manic phase, this will change. And reverse. Then we can worry. For now, the alternating currents seem to be keeping things in balance.
No forecasts can be guaranteed.

Engeyum Eppothum Sangeetham Santhosham - cover by Hari
Lyrics & Chords
My humble rendition of this 'psychedelic' rock song from my guruji S.P. Balasubrahmanyam from the movie Ninaithale Innikum. A true Kamal/Balu combination along with Rajni sir. Thought i'd upload it before my business trip to US Virgin Islands :)
This song is every singers dream to perform however I was always reluctant to try it out, but if not for Mr. Prasad Rajaraman, I wouldn't have even attempted it. Thank you Prasad for encouraging me to sing this song. I dedicate this rendition to you.
This song has always been special to me, more so when I had a once-in-a-lifetime experience singing this song with my Guruji watching. He was here in toronto for a show and I was helping the local band for the practice session. This was one of the last songs we had to do, but guruji was tired out and asked me to sing it instead. After the song was over, he said, Thank you Mr. Hari! well done!. and patted me on my back. This down to earth wonderful person is my God!. Long live Balu sir and his music.
Song: Engeyum Eppothum Sangeetham Santhosham
Movie: Ninaithale Innikkum
Singer: S.P. Balasubrahmanyam
Music: M.S. Viswanathan
Hope y'all like it.

ஹரி! கலக்கிட்டீங்க!! I always felt your comfort zone was in delivering melody songs. I feel in this song you went outside your comfort zone and still gave a terrific performance. I used to sing this song in bathrooms and whenever I thought I am as good as SPB in singing( This is when I was in school). Now, I know where I belong to ;).
I am not even able to upload a song in Muziboo. I cannot sing a full song which is shareable.
I know and understand how difficult this song is. Thanks for doing this song for me. As always, you have shown special affection towards me.
Beautiful delivery. As your fans say….your voice is very close to SPB's. For me you are SPB of North America.
Overall an excellent delivery.
மீண்டும்………அழகான பாடலை சிறப்பாக வழங்கியதற்கு நன்றி சொல்லி நீங்கள் என் மீது வைத்திருக்கும் அன்பை சிறுமை படுத்திட விரும்பவில்லை.

Hari, very good singing and very good voice. You've done the raaraa ree part very well, which is the hardest in this song. Kudos for that. I liked the chorus aah aah as well. You are lucky to sing this song in front of thalaivar SPB. SPB is a very nice gentleman, down to earth for all his achievements and always encourages other singers. This is one song I always sing in my live concerts. This song is in my to do list as well :)) I liked your rendition.

This movie I remember came with the caption "Idhu oru Thenisai Mazhai"….such were all the songs in this movie. This song in particular has a sweet memory for myself….I played this song in my keyboard with my band in a local competition….and got applause for playing the opening trumpet piece nicely. Still cherish those moments…Competed with professionals and managed to get 3rd place, though.
Your singing is awesome as usual and flawless. Carried the energy and pep throughout. That too performing in front of SPB….Ketkum podhe pullarikudhu…Envy you for that.

Ants are insects and like all insects, the body has three main parts - the head, the thorax (middle section), and the abdomen.
Insects have six legs that are attached to the thorax, three to each side.
The head is made up of the jaws, the eyes, and the antennae. The eyes of ants are made up of many lenses and are called compound eyes. Compound eyes make it possible for ants to see movement very well.
An ant's head showing antennae
The antennae are special organs used by the ant to smell, touch, taste, and hear.
In the abdomen are the ant's stomach and rectum. Many species (kinds) of ants have poison sacks and/or stingers in the end of the abdomen for defence against predators (enemies).
Ants breathe through tiny holes all over their body. The ant's heart is a long tube that pumps colourless blood from the head back to the abdomen and then back up to the head again.
|Did you know?
There may be as many as 20 000 different species (kinds) of ants in the world.
Ants live in large colonies or groups. Their home is a nest. There may be up to a million ants in a large nest. In each colony there are three types of ants: the queen, the female workers, and males. The male ants' job is to mate with queen ants so that they will be able to lay eggs. Male ants don't live very long.
A male and a female queen ant mate. The female is the larger ant
The queen grows to be an adult, mates with a male, then spends the rest of her life laying eggs. In a colony there may be only one queen or there may be many queens, depending on the species of ant. Worker ants do all the work in the nest. They build it and clean it, gather food, look after the queen, the eggs, and the young ants. Worker ants also defend the nest.
Life cycle
Ants go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
The larva hatches from the egg and is cared for by the worker ants.
During the pupa stage the larva is in a sleep-like state, as it changes into an adult ant.
Worker ants moving a larva
Different kinds of ants build different types of nests. Some build simple mounds of dirt or sand. Others use small sticks mixed with dirt and sand to make stronger, waterproof mounds. Inside the nest there are many chambers (or rooms). The chambers are connected to each other by tunnels. Chambers are used for different things, for example as nurseries for eggs and young ants, for storing food, as resting places for the worker ants and a there's a special chamber just for the queen.
Ants communicate (talk to each other) by touching each other with their antennae. They also use chemicals called pheromones (say ferra-moans) to leave a trail of scent for other ants to follow.
Ants have lived on the Earth for more than 100 million years and can be found almost anywhere on the planet.

This presentation explains the ISS Burn Rate methodology, the ISS 2014 Burn Rate Caps, and provides a historical perspective on the ISS Burn Rate Caps from 2009 through 2014:
Since ISS released its updated Burn Rate Caps table for 2014 on December 19, 2013, I have updated the Burn Rate Calculator to reflect the caps for 2014. The calculator will enable you to calculate your ISS burn rate and traditional run rate for 2014 with just a few inputs. The Burn Rate Calculator is kept under Reference Materials / Excel Tools and can be accessed at:
On November 21, 2013, ISS posted its final policy updates for the 2014 proxy season.[1] While the updates were not as numerous as prior year's updates, they were significant. The updates impact ISS's vote recommendations on directors and say-on-pay (SOP) proposals.
Director Vote Recommendations
On the Director Vote Recommendations policy update, ISS basically implemented the policy it announced for 2014 as part of its 2013 policy updates, but with a few revisions to account for feedback it received. ISS will make director vote recommendations on a case-by-case basis after considering a number of factors. For 2014, if a board fails to act upon a shareholder proposal that received majority support during the prior year's vote, ISS will consider:
- The board's outreach efforts to shareholders in the wake of the vote disclosed in the proxy;
- The board's rationale for the level of implementation of the proposal;
- The subject matter of the shareholder proposal;
- The level of support for and opposition to the proposal and the board's/company's engagement with shareholders;
- The continuation of the underlying issue as a voting item on the ballot either as a shareholder or management proposal; and
- Other factors, as appropriate.
Say-on-Pay Vote Recommendations
With regards to ISS quantitative tests to assess a company's pay-for-performance (P4P) alignment with respect to developing the ISS vote recommendation on say-on-pay proposals, ISS only revised one of the three quantitative tests, Relative Degree of Alignment (RDA). ISS introduced RDA for in 2012. Under the old RDA formula, ISS took a weighted look at the company's percentile rank of total shareholder return (TSR) and CEO pay against the ISS-selected peers on a 1- and 3-year basis. The old RDA formula weighted 1-year TSR and pay ranks at 40% and 3-year TSR and pay ranks at 60%, which effectively caused the most recent year to have a disproportionate impact on a company's overall RDA score. For 2014, ISS is eliminating this weighted approach and will look solely to 3-year TSR and pay ranks. However, ISS will utilize an annualized 3-year TSR to determine TSR rank and 3-year average CEO pay to establish pay rank. This shift in the policy can hurt or help companies depending on where their recent performance has been relative to the prior two year's performance.
ISS did not address whether the concern thresholds for the RDA test would remain the same or be revised for 2014. Given that ISS appears to be trying to grade companies on a curve, I would not be surprised to see the concerns levels for RDA be revised for 2014.
Effective Date for 2014 Policy Updates
ISS will apply the 2014 Policy Updates to shareholder meetings on or after February 1, 2014. ISS will release a complete set of updated policies in December 2013 (likely to include the Burn Rate Caps for the 2014 proxy season as well as other revisions, perhaps even updates to the RDA concern levels).
[1] Institutional Shareholder Services Inc., ISS's U.S. Corporate Governance Policy, 2014 Updates, November 21, 2013, available at: http://www.issgovernance.com/policy/2014/policy_information
On November 27, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the agenda and panelists for its December 5, 2013 roundtable on proxy advisors. The roundtable will be broken into two sessions.
The first session will explore the current use of proxy advisory services, including the factors that may have contributed to their use, the purposes and effects of using the services, and competition in the marketplace for such services.
The second session will explore issues identified in the Commission's 2010 concept release on the U.S. proxy voting system, including potential conflicts of interest that may exist for proxy advisory firms and users of their services, and the transparency and accuracy of recommendations by proxy advisory firms.
For more information, please see: SEC Announces Agenda, Panelists For Roundtable On Proxy Advisory Services, available at:
Last week, Equilar announced that it had opened up its peer group update process for companies. Russell 3000 companies and Canadian companies in the S&P/TSX Composite Index can provide updated peer groups that will be disclosed with their next proxy covering pay decision made for this current fiscal year (i.e., calendar year companies that changed their peer group for 2013 pay decisions which will be disclosed as part of the company's 2014 proxy).
Companies will be able to provide peer group updates until December 31, 2013. The updated peer groups will be used by Equilar in Equilar's Pay for Performance Analysis and Glass Lewis' (Say on Pay) pay for performance quantitative analysis. If a company does not update its peer group, Equilar will use the peer group the company disclosed in its 2013 public filing (proxy).
Companies that want to submit peer group updates can do so at the following Equilar website set up to take such submissions:

Louisville Water's "Pure Tap" Campaign Receives National Recognition
Friday November 16, 2012
The Louisville pure tap® campaign, Louisville Water's signature public education effort has received the Award of Distinction as part of the inaugural Growing Blue Award. The award recognizes individuals, organizations and government entities for advancing public understanding of how water is as essential to economic and social growth as it is to sustaining the environment.
Louisville Water was recognized along with the Growing Blue Award winner Milwaukee Water Council at the 2012 American Water Summit in Chicago. The event, in cooperation with summit host Global Water Intelligence, was based on a live vote by summit attendees that included leaders from the public and private sectors.
Louisville Water was recognized with distinction for its grass-roots campaign, Louisville pure tap®. In 1996, Louisville Water became the first utility to trademark what comes out of the faucet. Since then, the pure tap initiative has grown into collaborations with schools, community and government organizations, businesses and customers to promote the quality and value of tap water.
"It's really a simple concept – get back to the tap," said Greg Heitzman, President and CEO of Louisville Water. "Louisville has a rich history of water innovation and we're known for outstanding water quality and taste. The pure tap campaign is at the heart of our customer education efforts, helping to bring recognition to something that's often taken for granted."
Nine organizations were nominated for the award by the executive committee of Growing Blue, a collaboration of 11 diverse organizations active in the environmental and water fields. The four finalists included Ceres, Louisville Water Company, Milwaukee Water Council and the Water Environment Federation. During the summit, each finalist presented its program results to the audience. Once all presentations were completed, audience members selected the winners via handheld voting devices.
"Since the inception of the Clean Water Act 40 years ago, public awareness of how water impacts the environment has rapidly grown," said Laurent Auguste, President and CEO of Veolia Water Americas and founding member of Growing Blue. "Meanwhile, awareness of water's value to our economic and societal well-being is growing but requires much more effort as we are all truly required to work more closely together to make smarter decisions for our collective future. The nominees presented highly notable work from very different perspectives, and the members of Growing Blue are very proud to have the opportunity to recognize each of them for their many accomplishments."

What is the best way to spread awareness of human trafficking in suburban areas?
At 27 million people and 32 billion dollars a year, the modern slave industry is at an all time high. It affects every country and community in the world in some way or form and any person could become a victim. There is not set "type" of group or person that becomes a part of this industry. Anyone can be a victim. Age, gender, socioeconomic status, language, country of origin, none of that matters.
And yet it seems that very few communities are aware of this problem. It does affect every community in some way and so few people seem to consider it more than a problem that happens in poor urban areas or third world countries.
What would be a good way to spread awareness about the issues of human trafficking to a community? What would be a good way to inspire awareness and involvement in the efforts to eradicate this scourge? How would one go about doing this?
The answers I'd find most helpful are creative ideas, examples of past communities working together to help in a global problem, examples of what you would do in this situation or possibly what you have done in this situation, if you had ever before been faced with this or something similar.
Thank you!

Jan 26 2012: we have a register of csc people it is easy to use look up you area and find out who lives around you. we could do something like this a data base of missing people you could look up by photos put in it things like age, size, sex, hair color, langue type of region, race type of searches. you could also pull up geo coding of where people have disapeared from and what ages, sexes ect.. also when people are found. we could locate those on the maps showing where they were found and where some one might want to look for others that are missing. once the data base is created then get non profit or donations to advertise on tv or internet. in poorer cummites where they do not have these avuenes posters and a local spot to use the inter net like a police station, town hall, school would be the most impact full i would think. it wiould help the kids to help with things like "stranger danger"

The Oconee County dive team has recovered the body of a 77 year old Salem man on Lake Keowee. Coroner Karl Addis says the death Saturday night appears to have happened while Robert Bruce Graffis was in the process of launching his fishing boat near the ramp located at Marina Drive within the Keowee Key development.
Addis says the Graffis was reported missing around 6:45 p.m. by his family after he was reported missing. The coroner's office says that Graffis left his home around 2:00 p.m. Saturday to return his fishing boat back to a boat slip at Keowee Key marina. The car with the boat trailer attached was found by his wife parked at the boat ramp where investigators estimate he had launched the boat between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m.
Crews on the scene located the boat along the shoreline at 9:25 p.m. Saturday. The dive team discovered Graffis' body at 10:15 p.m.
An autopsy will be performed Monday to determine the cause of death. The coroner's office reminds boaters and those working on the water that it is important to wearing a life jacket. Related

From One Survivor to Another
i'm always skeptical when i see "grassroots organizing" anything
Because in my entire life, as a broke-ass, genderqueer person of color, I have never, not even once, had some "grassroots organizer" (a real one— not the representatives with ridiculous names like "ben jealous" in those Moveon.org emails) come up to me, or call me on the phone, or send me a postcard, or give me a survey on the street, or email me, with some kind of call to action that actually mattered to my existence.
Like apparently all of this "grassroots organizing" is happening everywhere these days, but it has somehow passed over me every single time. So either I'm doing something wrong or a lot of important people think that I don't have any political potential. Maybe it's that I'm lazy— I struggle with multiple disabilities and school and family and just trying to survive every day. But uh, isn't this kind of organizing supposed to reach people like me? Maybe I need someone in charge to guarantee for me that if I go to X rally or participate in X fundraiser, then I will not have to worry about being triggered by creepy people, or about social anxiety, or about getting sick because I am allergic to everything. It may be a lot, but damn if dealing with all of this shit hasn't given me some great analytical and writing skills. I can give back if needed.
I am sure that there are other people out there with similar issues. We want to do tangible, physical activism, but the fancy "grassroots" folk are just not there. I have literally never seen anyone take any political interest in my extremely marginalized voice. So what are people like me supposed to do when we can barely make it through the day?
And then there's the problem with the issues rarely ever being directly relevant to my life. Why would I care about demanding a retraction and an apology from X middle class company when I can't even afford bread and milk at the store? And so on. It's so clear to me that there's a bunch of people running the show who don't have much interest in actually helping me out. If I am going to do something political, it needs to be about something I really really care about— because if I don't care about it, I'm not going to give that extra push to get out of my often precarious existence. It's about risk vs. reward, and helping out privileged, heterosexual, middle class, cis gender, able-bodied white folks is not very high in terms of reward.
Just letting everyone know— it's not that people of color and people of other groups don't care about the world around them. It's just very hard to find people that care about us.

The identity of nicotinic receptor subtypes sufficient to elicit both the acute and chronic effects of nicotine dependence is unknown. We engineered mutant mice with a4 nicotinic subunits containing a single point mutation, Leu9' --> Ala9' in the pore-forming M2 domain, rendering a4* receptors hypersensitive to nicotine. Selective activation of a4* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with low doses of agonist recapitulates nicotine effects thought to be important in dependence, including reinforcement in response to acute nicotine administration, as well as tolerance and sensitization elicited by chronic nicotine administration. These data indicate that activation of a4* receptors is sufficient for nicotine-induced reward, tolerance, and sensitization.

I can't attest to being a Hot Wheels fanatic as a kid, but I most certainly had my fair share of the miniaturized toy cars. In fact, I wonder what happened to them? I believe I had them squirreled away in a storage box that was very much like a lunch box. Odds are that they got sold at a yard sale, which in retrospect is probably the stupidest thing I could have done with them.
So if you're anything like me, and miss your toys from a childhood that is no longer, you'll probably dig Hot Wheels just released Retro Entertainment series. And while I could pass on the Muppets School Bus, I'd gladly scoop up the A-Team Van, the Ghostbuster's Ecto-1 car, Kit from Knight Rider, and the Class TV Series Batmobile.
Prices start at about $8.

We ordered all 3 deserts for our wedding and every single flavor was delicious (I think we had a mix of at least 10 flavors). We brought inspiration pictures and they knew exactly what to do - no hiccups and all of the food was perfectly decorated - looked good in pictures too!! But most importantly, everything was delicious and moist. Absolutely perfect!!
Wedding: 9/28/2013
Thank you VBS for your excellent service! Our Wedding Cake was delicious and our guests loved the decor. We will definetly will come back for future events.
Vanilla bakeshop did a awesome job with our wedding cake and dessert bar. From the tasting to the day of, their services were impeccable, especially the catering consultant Yuko. She helped up design our cake and choose our dessert bar choices. During a time where your wedding planning can be so stressful, Vanilla made everything so easy for us. I love going back and getting desserts there. They are so tasty and remind us of how awesome the desserts were at our wedding!
Wedding: 9/6/2014
We used Vanilla Bake Shop for our wedding cake on 8/30/14. They did not disappoint. We brought some inspiration photos to our first meeting and they were able to transform our ideas into a beautiful cake. (Almost too beautiful to eat!) All of their flavors were so delicious! We went with the triple berry cream and chocolate truffle for our cake. The wedding cake was just as delicious and moist as the cake in our tasting. Yuko was available to answer all of our questions and was a true pleasure to work with. We would certainly recommend VBS for anyone's dessert needs and plan on using them in the future!
Wedding: 5/21/2013
We ordered a shell-themed, customised seven layer chocolate peanut butter cake for our Santa Monica beach wedding at Shutters in May. We were not disappointed! The ordering process was easy, even though it was all done from the UK, as Yuko sent photos of suitable cakes, which she beautifully tweaked to our specifications. The cake was delivered on time and was visually stunning. We were thrilled with the colour and finished design, and the cake itself was so delicious and unusual that our guests are still talking about it! Highly recommended.
Wedding: 7/12/2013
We loved our vanilla bean/vanilla lemon berry tiered cake from Vanilla Bake Shop! Yuko is a pro--this was probably our easiest vendor for the whole wedding since they take care of everything and you don't have to manage it at all. The cake was beautiful and delicious.
Wedding: 7/28/2013
They got my cake exactly right! It was beautiful, and exactly what I asked for! The cake tasted amazing! They were very easy to work with, and everything came out perfectly!
Wedding: 7/24/2013
Vanilla Bake Shop made a gorgeous and DELICIOUS wedding cake for my wedding. I was able to have three flavors and everyone would not stop talking about how good it tasted, which can be a rarity I've found for wedding cakes. I provided to them a pictures of what I was looking for and they were able to make it look exactly as I had envisioned. We are so grateful for the delivery too, particularly because it required transportation up a hairpin turn to the site! They worked with me cooperatively all through the process and were affordable for what you got. I'd highly recommend them to any future bride or for any event.
Wedding: 6/29/2013
Taste was great! I was a little disappointed onm the design
Wedding: 6/8/2013
The wedding cake was absolutely amazing - it was definitely a work of art! We received so many compliments on the taste and look of the cake. The cake was so moist and delicious - probably the best wedding cake I've had. Also, the cake looked beautiful and fit our spring wedding theme so well! We are so looking forward to our first anniversary to eat the cake again!
Wedding: 4/27/2013
We had already been to 3 other cake shops before we found this gem. From the first bite we knew this was the one! The cake to die for and every floor was delicious (so delicious that i couldn't choose and ended up with 4 cake flavors and 4 mini-cupcake flavors). The mini cupcakes were a hit!!!
Wedding: 2/23/2013
Unbelievable. So damn good. I let my mother and grandmother handle this part. I didn't really have an idea of what I wanted and they did. So they did all the tasting, chose the cake and the grooms cake. They either have impeccable taste or this is the best bakery in town. I am not kidding. Simply yummy.
Wedding: 4/20/2013
Great cake!! Yuko helped us pick a style we liked and matched our colors perfectly. The Dulce de Leche cake was so yummy and the cake was absolutely adorable. We coupled a small wedding cake with tons of baby cupcakes and two additional round cakes. You probably only need to order 1/2 to 2/3 or the recommended servings. We had tons left over, but it was absolutely delicious.
Wedding: 4/6/2013
We had a small cake and mini cupcakes. Everything from the tasting to the wedding day was fun, easy and yummy!
Wedding: 10/28/2012
Vanilla Bake Shop make my wedding cake and they did a fantastic job. I scheduled an appointment with Yuko to do a cake tasting and also discussed cake styles and prices. She has binders full of photos of different wedding cakes they've made. I told her what I had in mind and she drew some sketches.
Over the next few months, we e-mailed back and forth until we decided what we wanted and finalized a contract. On the day of the wedding, the cake arrived on time and looking beautiful. I chose the red velvet cake and it tasted amazing. The price was very reasonable and we couldn't have been happier with our cake.
Wedding: 10/27/2012
Got referred to this Bakery through my venue, they indicated them as prime vendors. Other than going to the tasting and pick the cake I wanted I barely had to do anything. Bakery and venue people work together on confirming details of delivery together, saving a bunch of headache for me. My florist delivered some flowers to them and they just decorated my cake at the venue. Easy, simple, no pain and it looked beautiful. Also it was delicious, they have a great selection of wedding cakes and they are also open to come up with solutions that fits best to your budget. Most of their cakes are fairly complex but if you want to save money just ask to simplify either the decor or the cake itself and they work with you till they make you happy.We have been married for 10 month now and some of my friends still talk about how delicious our cake was. I have chosen chocolate truffle cake with raspberry spread, white butter cream icing. It was amazing. Also brought in ribbons in my wedding color and they have decorated it with those and flowers from my florist. It was a very budget friendly and beautiful solution. I can only recommend this bakery, they are able to serve anybody's needs, real professional staff with extremely high level of expertise.
Wedding: 9/16/2012
I initially had a hard time with getting my order finalized, but everything turned out great in the end. Their fudgy brownie cupcakes are the best!!
Wedding: 8/12/2012
After trying numerous bakeries, Vanilla Bake Shop ("VBS)") was definitely one of my favorite. I wanted cupcakes for my guests instead of a wedding cake but we also ordered a six inch cake placed on top of the tower. Most cupcakes we've tried at other vendors didn't taste extraordinary but I knew we had to go with VBS after their cake tasting. I usually don't care for the density in most cupcakes but the cupcakes from VBS were light, fluffy and fresh. It was definitely a bit more pricier compared to other vendors but since we had under 100 guests, we wanted quality and VBS delivered.
Wedding: 9/15/2012
We love cake and we were discouraged when we tried out so many bland and dry cakes! Then we found Vanilla Bake Shop and our worries were over. People are still talking about how delicious our various flavors were. Definitely give this place a try!
Wedding: 8/19/2012
Delicious cake. We had a combo of the espresso for the bottom layer and the triple berry for the other 2 layers. The cake came with the package deal at Shutters so I do not know the price

New Movie Trailers This Week: Ain't Saints, Dinosaurs, Death Band
Last week, we showed you new trailers for Jennifer Aniston's "We're the Millers", Joseph Gordon Levitt's "Don Jon", Vince Vaughn's "Delivery Man", George Clooney's "Gravity" and apocalypse comedy, "Rapture-palooza". This week, we've got funky fresh promos for the other Affleck's latest effort, dinosaurs, monsters, liars, the Battle of the Year, and A Band Called Death. Grab a bucket of popcorn, avoid the nachos, and watch, comment, share the top new trailers to hit Dailymotion in the past seven days.
Ain't Them Bodies Saints via MyFilm-GR
"The tale of an outlaw who escapes from prison and sets out across the Texas hills to reunite with his wife and the daughter he has never met."
This indie drama stars Rooney Mara, Ben Foster, and Casey Affleck. It premiered at Sundance where it won a Cinematography Award and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. IFC Films will release it on August 16th.
Walking with Dinosaurs 3D via Teaser Trailer
This upcoming computer-animated dinosaur film is inspired by the 1999 BBC miniseries of the same name. According to Variety, it follows two brothers looking to follow in their father's footsteps that end up in a showdown with dinosaurs in the Arctic. The "star" or lead dinosaurs are Pachyrhinosaurus with the Gorgosaurus (a T-Rex like creature) as one of the supporting dinos.
Disney's Planes Trailer #2 via FanReviews
"Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook) is a cropdusting plane who dreams of competing in a famous aerial race. The problem? He is hopelessly afraid of heights. With the support of his mentor Skipper and a host of new friends, Dusty sets off to make his dreams come true."
The rest of the voice cast include Val Kilmer (ICEMAN!!!), Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Teri Hatcher, Brad Garrett, John Cleese, Anthony Edwards, Sinbad, Cedric the Entertainer, Gabriel Iglesias, and Brent Musburger who voices Brent Mustangburger. You ever have a Mustangburger? It's known to increase virility, so that name is very fitting for the ogling broadcaster.
Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters – Trailer #2 via AddictoMovie
"In order to restore their dying safe haven, the son of Poseidon and his friends embark on a quest to the Sea of Monsters to find the mythical Golden Fleece and to stop an ancient evil from rising."
To be honest, it's so hard to find a Golden Fleece that fits. I got a weird body.
Liars All via ScreenPlay
"On New Year's eve in London, a provocative game spins out of control and ends in murder, the true killer remains elusive amidst conflicting testimony and hidden motives."
This is why I never play spin the bottle. Someone's getting a Diet Coke to the eyeball.
Scenic Route via Teaser Trailer
"The relationship between two old friends is tested as they are stranded in the desert."
This dramatic thriller stars Josh Duhamel and Dan Fogler. Fogler in a non-comedy? Something smells fishy. My gut says it will be like Gus Van Sant's "Gerry" or "127 Hours" with more hijinks.
Crazy Kind of Love via MyFilm-GR
"A broken family finds their relationships to one another changed by a new arrival in the household."
I liked this the first time around when it was called, "Son in Law". I miss you Pauly Shore.
A Band Called Death via MyFilm-GR
"A documentary on the 1970s punk trio Death, and their new-found popularity decades after they disbanded."
The documentary also features Alice Cooper and Henry Rollins and is set to release June 28th.
Battle of the Year via Teaser Trailer
"Battle of the Year attracts all the best teams from around the world, but the Americans haven't won in fifteen years. Dante enlists Blake to assemble a team of the best dancers and bring the Trophy back to America where it started."
I don't get the appeal and success of these dance movies. My guess is it's a simply a hotbed for teens to hook up and parents are like, "Those kids sure do love to dance!" Yeah, no pants dance, Mom.
The Best Man Holiday via ScreenPlay
"Set 15 years after The Best Man, old college friends who reunite over the Christmas holiday discover just how easy it is for long-forgotten rivalries and romances to be ignited."
My 15 year high school reunion is coming up. Can't wait to repeat history.

Every known Pokedex 3D AR code, compiled by GBATemp. If you point your 3DS camera at this image, the app will a) freak the hell out, b) find three new Pokemon for your Pokedex, and c) fill your sticker book with unknown Pokemon (the result of already having found three in a day). Fun!
You can also explore this code generator by Ravenworks, which seems to come across some "unknown" Pokemon as well, like this one. These, I think, are actually "unknown," as in, currently unimplemented… or something.
