Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
A new archery range at Dodge County Public Fishing Area [1] (PFA), located near Eastman, is now open. This range is one of 12 archery ranges currently available on public land in Georgia.
"This new range will serve as a nearby resource for area archers and bow hunters as well as local school groups participating in the National Archery in Schools Program," says Matt Stewart, shooting sports coordinator for Wildlife Resources Division.
The archery facility at Dodge County PFAconsists of two ranges. The first is a static range with eight lanes from 10 to 50 yards in length. Here, archers can shoot into large "bow butt" targets that are secured into freestanding target sheds or at 3-D deer targets. The second range is a one-quarter mile 3-D trail with realistic targets, which include both native and exotic animals.
The range was developed and constructed using Federal Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration funds. These funds are generated through an excise tax on firearms, ammunition and archery equipment. Funds are granted on the State level based on several factors, including the number of paid sporting licenses in Georgia.
Users of the range (age 16 and up) will be required to have one of the following licenses in order to use the facility: wildlife management area, Georgia Outdoor Recreational Pass (GORP), sportsman's, honorary, lifetime or a valid three-day hunting and fishing license. To purchase a license, visit www.georgiawildlife.com/licenses-permits-passes [2]. Users need to bring their own gear. To reduce impact to targets, broadheads are not allowed.
The new range at Dodge County PFA is located four miles south of Eastman off U.S. Hwy. 341 on Dodge Lake Road and will be open sunrise to sunset, Wednesdays through Sundays. For more information on archery ranges available in Georgia, visit www.georgiawildlife.com/hunting/archery-shooting-ranges [3].

Say I've briefly lived somewhere but now I want to return and stay there longer. Here is a paragraph of how I express it. Please suggest improvements.
The new development looks really awesome. I had a brief stint (1 year) in town XXXXX in 2003 -2004 at Great Bears development, shortly after it had been built. Loved it, but decided to move. With the emergence of this development, I just might sojourn to XXXXX once again, hopefully, for longer term.

419 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
One of my favourite Eating Well recipes ever! I get bored when every bite tastes the same and the balance of ingredients in this dish is perfect - every bite tastes a little different than the one before. Don't skimp on the onion, garlic or spices or overdo it on e liquid. The recipe is great - my new go-to meal for when the cupboard is "bare".
To any one turned away by the 2.5 star rating, ignore it. This recipe is absolutely delicious. And not just that, it's really good for you too. Both my husband and 11 year old scarfed it and wanted more.
I think this is the only vegetarian meal I've ever made that my husband liked. The tomatoes give it a hearty, filling flavor, and the gnocchi is a satisfying texture. We use canned tomatoes--fire-roasted with Italian seasoning to kick up the flavor a little, and add just a shake or two of red pepper flakes while it's cooking. This became a staple, much to my delight, because it's really easy to make and you only have one pot to clean afterwards! Ours looked exactly like the photo here.
I've made this according to the recipe with the exception of using gluten free gnocchi which I boil first. My husband loves this recipe even though he doesn't like tomatoes or onions. If you can make someone eat something they don't like and love it that is a good recipe.

[CLOSED]Chart Numeric Axes label customization
For a numeric axis, it would be nice to allow users to customize the labels. See the attachments for an example. Ether the charts could be set up to handle units ( MB/s ) and number formatting. Or at the very least give us a formatting option where we get passed the numeric value and we return a formatted string for the value.
Current axis labeling:
Desired axis labeling:

You can set a renderer for the labels where you can change it to whatever function you wish (defaults to just returning the value).

I did not see that option in the Docs or in the source code. Could you please give me a pointer?

Pete Morton performs live in studio
Pete Morton claims he can play The Ramones songs faster than The Ramones. At least, he claims it in one of his songs. His background is in rock-and-roll, but he's a busker now: a singer-songwriter from England, living and writing songs on the road. His latest record is "Flying an Unknown Flag."
He passed through Minnesota this week and found time to visit with Dale and Jim Ed on the Morning Show and even premier a new song ... finished the morning of the interview.
Songs performed: "Great Gold Sun," "Good Enough For Me," and "Harvest."

Goths - they seem to be in every school and neighborhood. Kids, and sometimes adults, dress completely in black with pale faces and dark make-up. The all black attire usually means one of two things, either it's Halloween, or you're looking at a Goth.
Typically speaking, Goths dress in black or other dark colors and tend to favor romantic styles of clothing. Long skirts, ruffles, or frills are true of some Goth girls, while clothing styles more commonly defined as Punk might better suit others.
In the early 1980s, some bands spun off into a slightly different sound and appearance and became known as Gothic or death rock bands. Over time, new bands without the same style of music began to call themselves Goth, and the term no longer held any musical value, but rather described appearances and attitude.
Of course today, thirty-five years of Goth have evolved into any number of �normal� Goth appearances. Just like everyone else, Goths dress as they please and may look nothing like the Goths of the 80s and 90s. Movies, books, and bands have all put a new twist on what is cool within Goth circles, so there is not really a right or wrong way to be Goth. Really, all you have to do is say you're Goth, and nobody will be able to say otherwise.
Are you a Goth? Find or practice your own unique Goth style here at the Doll Palace, or see if perhaps it's time to put away your preppy clothes and take on a whole new, darker persona.

Dori Farthing, assistant professor of geological sciences, addresses Geneseo's student convocation.
GENESEO, N.Y. - - SUNY Geneseo welcomed 998 new freshmen to campus this week as students moved into their residence hall rooms, attended Weeks of Welcome activities and met their professors for the first time in class.
"We continue to see new students with strong academic credentials and well-rounded backgrounds," said Kris Shay, director of admissions.
The academic profile confirms the observation: The mean high school average for the class is 94; the mean SAT score (composite of critical reading and math) is 1333. For the past several years, Geneseo's average has been about 300 points higher than the national composite average for all U.S. college students taking the test.
"These students are not only academically strong but bring backgrounds as government leaders, talented athletes and accomplished writers and performers," said Shay. "We are so fortunate on this campus to see such diversity."
Geneseo's admissions committee selected the entering class from more than 9,000 applications. Total estimated enrollment this year will be 5,560 (5390 undergraduates and 170 graduate students).
Once again, the applicant pool was so strong that the college reluctantly denied admission to many highly-accomplished students. Rather than turning them away, Shay identified the top group of applicants from the waiting list and offered them admission to the spring term. Last year, more than 100 students accepted the offer and joined the Class of 2015 in January, taking the place of students graduating at mid-year or studying abroad.
"This year, 24 of the students that will be joining the Class of 2016 in January are spending the fall term studying abroad in Siena, Italy, through the college's abroad bridge program," said Shay.
First-time students are joined by a strong class of transfer students and 45 international students from 15 countries.
During student convocation Aug. 26, Geneseo faculty member Dori Farthing, assistant professor of geological sciences, addressed "It Is My Great Pleasure to Recommend...," providing valuable advice to new students about the importance of starting early in their college careers to nurture the letters of recommendations they will need to succeed.
"Think about each professor or staff member as a potential recommender, and also remember that recommendation letters are bigger than grades," said Farthing.
She also recommended that students make sure recommenders are aware of their work outside of the classroom.
"Don't be merely a biology major or an English major," said Farthing. "Be a global citizen-volunteer and seek service opportunities here. Also be a scholar of the liberal arts. These experiences enhance your classwork and enhance your soul."
At the opening faculty convocation Aug 25, Geneseo President Christopher C. Dahl recognized recent 2012 award recipients:

Is it true that Martin Luther was calling in his books for killing Hebrew people and that the Lutherans of the USA in 1983 officially recanted this part of Luther's writings?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Alright I might be one of the few people on this earth that 1) loves the Jewish people, 2) Has married a true Jew by descent, who converted to Christianity after our marriage. 3) Will publish the worst dirt on Luther that can be found. 4) Will then be so crazy as to defend Luther, not against his sin here but in how it should be viewed in context and as still being a man of God.
Note: It is not possible for me to be brief on handling this question.
First the prosecution of that nasty Luther
Here is the worst of Luther's writings which is naturally seized upon by any wanting to portray Luther as personally hating the Jews if they refused to accept Christ and it is pretty offensive in deed:
Then Luther goes on to suggest what should be actually done by the government.
Note: He does suggest they be allowed to live like gypsies in barns or group hostels and thinks the money in 'safekeeping' is there to be returned at least in part if they stop ridiculing the Christian faith and join the national religion, but the rest of these statements can pretty much be understood as is.
He only tones his ranting down slightly to distinguish between government treatment of blasphemers under law and personal vengeance by saying regular persons should not curse them are harm them, just see them as wicked while continuing in their blasphemy. He does also offer reverse sentiments and thinks they ought to treat them as 'brothers' if any become Christian, but these sentiments seem much too little and much too late to excuse his fiendish hate:
Summary Prosecution statement: Luther was a hateful man that hated the Jews (among others, the Pope being the most hated). Although he did not want people to personally injure them he supported the murder of good Rabbis who refused to stop publicly teaching and supported the heinous inhumane crimes of confiscating or destroying virtually all their livelihood and culture, offering Jews no more than meager slavery in near inhumane conditions. It is simply inexcusable on all accounts, and any Christian worth the name should denounce this part of Christian history forever. In fact Luther might properly be said to have planted early seeds of the Nazi regime, with his attitude leading to the more recently unparalleled crimes of Hitler during the holocaust.
The defense of that oh so lovable Luther
First, as deplorable and terrible as this is we should keep in mind at the time in history this was fairly standard treatment throughout the world for heretics and blasphemers. Before modern history, religious crimes were mixed with civil criminal codes and as a consequence Catholic governments burned Protestant heretics at the stake, and some later Protestant governments did similar evils, not to mention what the Turks and Christians did to each other. There was no proper division of church and state.
Second, this is the worst of Luther's writings and I would not equate his sins herein as necessarily worse than the low points of many godly men. He did not personally make love to his neighbor's wife and then personally orchestrate his murder as King David, the man after God's heart, for example. The truth is that we are so evil, even as Christians, which are still so much more righteous than unbelievers, that if our lives are analyzed by the morals of future generations none of us will smell like roses.
Third, although the Jews still believed in the Laws of Moses, Luther did not go so far as to cruelly propose that they be applied to them. If under the law a person simply picking up sticks on the Sabbath, or a child who is rebellious to their parents should be publicly executed. If under the law idolaters should be killed, their land burned, their houses burned, their woman turned into slaves etc., what would the Law prescribe for those who continued to reject their Jehovah in Christ? No, Luther did think, as every nation did at that time, that some of the Laws of Moses were useful for the state to apply, but he even at his worst held the Christian belief that the full extent of the Law of Moses should not be applied to those who owned it.
Fourth, most of his sentiments came from the common belief that Jewish people were getting unfair favorable treatment from the government, while others were being criminally prosecuted for blasphemy and the like, or other injustices, on smaller matters. This was believed to be due to their great deal of wealth and it did not seem right that foreigners to the country should take advantage of the poor German people through high interest rates, while the poor were being often treated so harshly by the rich. I find this to be a weak point of defense but it must be observed that the German people were prone to racism not 'out of the blue' or from mere religious grounds, but out of general jealousies that the poor often have against the rich, who often oppress them. As Christians are also with many sins, it is not surprising that the world's jealousies of the unbelieving German people, would creep in to some degree into the thoughts of Christians.
Fifth, once the faith of Luther was almost fully stomped out of Germany, the secular majority of Germans (who were never really Christian to begin with) eagerly received humanistic philosophies in the place of professed faith. The result is just like Christ's parable who said that if a demon is cast out (by natural religious reform) seven worse spirits will come back. That is what literally happened. National fake belief in Christ, like any national faith, was replaced with the belief of 'the survival of the fittest'. This lead to the idea that killing the weak was supported by nature. This lead to Hitler and the holocaust. The rejection of the faith of men like Luther resulted in actual mass murder of the Jews. Whereas Luther's momentary rantings did not actually result in anything. Luther may have been expressing the popular view at that time with the greatest amount of charity, so while accused on great sins, he may have actually been the salt that postponed the eventual racism that possessed the nation.
Summary Defense statement: Luther never pretended to be politically correct. He expressed his views quite emotionally. Like most religious leaders of that time in history, he felt some part of Old Testament law could be applied to society that most Western countries no longer believe, or comprehend at all. It is hard for us to understand but we would have probably acted poorer than Luther if we had lived at that time. When looking at all of Luther's writings as a whole, he held out the most loving, peaceful and truthful message that could be found anywhere else in the world. Luther was a man of God, and it is difficult to find anyone in history more worthy of the title. Luther was a man after God's own heart.
Was it true he was calling for the murder of Hebrew people? Yes in a weak sense. He positively lobbied for the charge that preaching the rejection of Christ in the synagogue should be considered to be as bad as heresy or blasphemy. No, in that he did not support personal hate or the harming of their persons. All in all I would say, no. Even in the case of blasphemy as a capital crime, the Bible never considers capital crimes, which people are all equally warned of before enacted by the state, as murder.
Is Luther's attitude in these passages excusable? I would say not at all. There is nothing in them that is consistent with the volumes of sentiments in the rest of his writings, or much more importantly in the New Testament. His attitudes here are not Christian to me. Do I think Luther was a man of God? Yes, without doubt. I can only say that without blinking for about half a dozen people I have read about.
I have found something quite unexpected that has somewhat lessened my shock of Luther's point of failure. In quite a shocking discovery I have been surprised to find that Luther's basic fault was not breaking free of a well established common prejudice of his time. Not only did the German people and all of Europe have these intolerant views but Luther's recommendation to the government is actually more or less a repetition of a previous Jew converted to the Catholic faith in Germany just under forty years earlier! He actually thought this harsh and biting attitude would help him reach his fellow Jews as a form of a missionary effort. As nonsensical as this is it shows the public view of how conversions and influence could take place is far different from how we see things today.
The recommendations were first published by the Jew, Johannes Pfefferkorn in 1507.
It is hardly objective to consider this subject without considering this unusual historical context. Something very hard I admit to even try to comprehend.
Yes, it is true that Luther published anti-semitic writings -- writings that were even used by the Nazi Party in support of its horrendous treatment of Jews. The case that Luther's writings were terribly anti-semitic was, in fact, made by the Luthern Church Missouri Synod itself, seeking to distance itself from that hot potato. On the FAQ section of the Synod's website, it states:
Did Luther expected "Hebrew people" to work and sweat after they have been killed?
Therefore it is nonsense to think he called for their killing.

Suppose we have a lattice path in 2D starting at the origin, in which north, south, east, and west steps are allowed. For a given path $L$, let $\max(L)$ be the maximum value of the $y$ coordinate achieved by $L$ over the length of its path. For example, the path NENWSWW would have $\max(L) = 2$.
What is known about the distribution of $\max (L)$ over all paths of length $n$?
(It seems like this problem would have been studied, but most of the results on lattice paths I've found allow only north and east steps. Perhaps I'm not using the right search terms.)
Clarification: My question is that if we list all possible paths of length $n$, and sort them by the value of $\max (L)$ for each path, how many are there with $\max (L) = 0, \max (L) = 1,$ etc.? If we think about this from a random walk perspective, it's equivalent to imposing a uniform distribution on the four possible steps at each point.

Most authors I read write in small chunks of time (1hr~40min). I wonder if this is a writing technique. I always find myself writing for 3 to 4 hours straight (taking 5 minutes breaks). The thing is that when I start writing I want to put all my ideas into the paper (I mean screen) as fast as I can. I wonder if this is bad for writing. Is it a bad idea to write too many hours straight?
Is it better to divide writing time for a 'many short times' approach instead of 'one long session'?
Different writers have different writing disciplines. Mark Twain said that his discipline was to write a certain number of pages per day, but he wrote in longhand and as he got older he began to write in a larger and larger hand, so that his actual output was less. He was, he confessed, a profoundly lazy man.
I read that Stephen King used the "pages per day" method as well, and this is not uncommon. The important thing in a longer work is the preparation — start by reading twenty or so pages back from the point you stopped the previous day. This lets you edit what you wrote as well as brings you back into the feel of the piece, so that when you get to that blank page you already have a full head of steam. Another nice thing about the "PPD" method is that it forces you to write something. If you write crap one day — and we all do — you can simply edit or delete it. But you will have at least gone through the exercise.
However long your daily session, another important consideration is not to write yourself out in a single day. Writing a longer work (which I assume is what you are talking about) is like running a marathon: you have to pace yourself. If you sprint too soon you will wear yourself out. Leave something for the next day, even if it is a juicy bit that fairly begs to be written. Especially if it is a juicy bit that begs to be written. That will give you something to look forward to. If you have ideas you are afraid you will forget, write them as notes and use them in the next day's writing.

A Campbellsville man is facing nearly fifty counts of animal cruelty to his saddle bred horses. Friday, ranch owner John Humphress was in court about a hearing to determine where his horses should stay.
Two weeks ago Taylor County Animal Control seized the horses and started taking care of them after finding them in dire need of food, water, and shelter. Three of the horses were found dead and 47 others almost starving to death.
Horse owner, John Humphress, says he has been feeding the horses and that they just had a bad case of worms. The trial for the case is set for the middle of April.
In the meantime animal control will be taking care of the horses at another ranch they've been transported to in Campbellsville. So far they have received several donations but need more to feed and take care of the horses.
If you would like to donate money you can send a check to:

Was my treatment a waste of time? What do I do now? You may feel fearful, shocked, angry, overwhelmed and out of control. Turn to those who gave you support during your first battle with cancer. Don't hesitate to seek out help and support- social workers, therapists, support groups. Both in person or online, family, friends and clergy can all provide support during a recurrence. But keep in mind, you have done this before- you know much more now than you did at the time of your original diagnosis. Use that knowledge to guide your treatment decisions and help you put into place the support you need to get through this battle.
A recurrence can mean different things to different people- each situation is unique. You may want to start aggressive treatment right away. Maybe this isn't your first recurrence. Perhaps you just aren't sure you want to go through more chemotherapy or surgery. There is no "right" way to respond. Just as the initial treatment decisions are a balance of pros and cons, so is treating- or not treating- a recurrence.
Ask your treating physician what are all of your options and what treatment does he or she recommend and why? With the help of your support people, weigh the pros and cons of your treatment options. Consider your goals and how each treatment will impact them and your quality of life. You may want to consider seeing another physician to get a second opinion. Getting a second opinion does not mean you have to switch doctors; you are just getting input from another perspective. You may also want to research what clinical trials are available to you.
While surgery, chemotherapy or a clinical trial of a new medication may be the best option for some, others may feel that they don't want to pursue aggressive treatments again. And that is okay. It may not be a decision family and friends will understand, but it is the patient's decision to make. Read more about stopping treatment and the philosophy of hospice care.
Palliative care may be an option for some who still wish to pursue active treatment, but could use additional help with managing symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath, nausea, etc. Palliative care is a medical specialty (like oncology or cardiology) focused on the relief of pain, stress and other debilitating symptoms of serious illness. Palliative care differs from hospice in that it can be used at the same time as curative treatment. Not all hospitals have palliative care specialists. Visit getpalliativecare.org to find a specialist in your area.

Charbay: Handcrafted spirits from Northern California
American Wines is pleased to announce the statewide distribution of the Charbay family of distilled spirits. The brand features small, handcrafted releases of vodka, rum, pastis, black walnut liqueur and whiskey. Charbay's flagship fruit-infused vodkas taste just like the real fruit. Rind, pulp, juices – it's all there.
A family business
Marko, following a classical European apprenticeship with his father, is the family's 13th generation to carry on the tradition of winemaking and distilling. Marko's vision was the catalyst for Charbay Vodka and Charbay Whiskey. His revolutionary style, using only 100% real fruit and tea has set Charbay apart from the huge world of flavored vodkas. Made only once a year when the fruit is ripe, making them "vintage vodka", they taste "better than the fresh fruit they are made from" – Bon Apetit Magazine.
Blood Orange Vodka – ripe in spring
Deep-red color, with all the aromas and spicy sweetness of this Sicilian-native fruit. Fruit source: Porterville, California. Cocktail example: Blood Orange Cosmo or Blood Orange Drop.
Raspberry Vodka – ripe in summer
Flavored with whole raspberries from Oregon. Cocktail example: On the rocks or Raspberry Drop.
Meyer Lemon Vodka – ripe in winter
A rare crop; considered the sweetest variety of lemon. Fruit source: Porterville, California. Cocktail example: Meyer Lemon Drop or Meyer Lemon Bloody Mary.
Pomegranate Vodka - ripe in summer
With an earthy, floral and spicy flavor from the Wonderful variety. Fruit source: Visalia, California. Grown organically (*non-certified), these are the most beautiful pomegranates we've ever see n! Cocktail example: Pomegranate Cosmopolitan or Moroccan Martini.
Alambic Cane Rum
Triple Copper Pot Distilled sugar cane from Hawaii and Jamaica, unaged and unbeleivably smooth! 100 points given to Charbay Rum from Wine Enthusiast last year – it will not dissapoint!
Tahitian Vanilla Bean Rum
Bittersweet with cocoa bean nuances. Suffused with vanilla but not cloyingly sweet. Luscious sugar cane taste. "A must-have for serious rum fanatics" (Wine Enthusiast Best of Year 2004).

Cookies - Plantain Coconut Raisin Oatmeal Spice with Pecans
From all-creatures.org
Vegan - Vegetarian Recipe Book
How Mary and Frank and Friends Eat
"We are dedicated to cruelty free living through a vegetarian - vegan lifestyle."
"Let no animal die that we may live!"
| Home Page | Recipes Table of Contents |
Cookies - Plantain Coconut Raisin Oatmeal Spice with
(Recipe makes 24 cookies)
1 cup Spelt or Whole Wheat
3 cups Rolled Oats (oatmeal), quick
2 tsp. Cinnamon, ground
2 tsp. Allspice, ground
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg, ground
1/2 tsp. Cloves, ground
1 cup Coconut, shredded, unsweetened
3 cups Raisins
2 Plantains, ripe
1cup Apple Juice
Pecan Halves
(To enlarge the photo of the plantain coconut raisin oatmeal spice cookies, click on the photo or link)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C.)
Place the spelt, or whole wheat flour, and the quick rolled oats (oatmeal) in a bowl and mix together. Add the cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves and mix well. Add the coconut and 2 cups of the raisins and mix well to ensure that the raisins are not sticking together, and that they are thoroughly coated with the flour mixture.
Place the apple juice, peeled plantains, and the remaining cup of raisins in the container of a high speed blender. Cover and run at high speed until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended and smooth.
Add the plantain-raisin mixture (liquid) to the flour mixture (dry) and mix thoroughly with a stiff spatula or spoon. After adding all the blended, liquid ingredients, if the cookie dough is too stiff you may add a little more apple juice. A thinner dough will make a flatter cookie. A stiff dough will make irregular, thick cookies like the ones shown in the photo. (To test for dough stiffness, we stick a soup spoon upright into the dough. If the dough is stiff enough, the spoon will remain upright.)
On a non-stick or lightly oiled baking sheet, place the cookie dough in 24 equal sized "mounds." Smooth and shape each cookie with a spoon or spatula, as desired. (To enlarge the photo of the plantain coconut raisin oatmeal spice cookies, click on the photo or link)
Place the pecan halves on the top of each cookie and press lightly into the dough.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes. Various ovens bake differently, so we suggest that you begin checking the cookies after 15-20 minutes of baking. The cookies should be firm, but still soft enough to be a little "springy." Be careful not to over-bake. When the plantain coconut raisin oatmeal spice cookies are baked, remove from the oven, cool, and enjoy.
The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live! (d-24)

Just wanted to share my current mani with you guys, 'cause it's AMAZEBALLS. This is Layla Hologram Effect nail polish in Ocean Rush.
With flash:
Indoor lighting (our bathroom has these mysterious light bulbs that make every nail polish look incredible - it's magic - and yes, that's my shower curtain in the background):
Outside on a cloudy day, the holo effect is much weaker but still semi-visible:
I used Nfu-Oh Aqua Base as a base coat (a necessary step under any linear holo polish!), then three coats of Ocean Rush. I topped it off with one coat of Barielle Manicure Extender and then one coat of Seche Vite top coat. (I've been layering Barielle ME over Seche Vite for all my manis lately - it increases the glossiness factor and my wear time by DAYS.) Of my 5 Layla holos, this one was actually the biggest pain to apply, but I was still able to get it smooth with three coats. I'll try to post swatches of the other four as time permits! :)

Patriots' practice field has new look
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tim Tebow is back on the field with an NFL team — the New England Patriots. The Patriots announced the signing of the former Jets quarterback on Tuesday, six weeks after he was cut by New York and just in time for the start of the three-day Patriots minicamp that runs through Thursday.

To the editor:
I watched the first presidential debate Wednesday, and Mitt Romney came off as very rude, very brash and interrupted President Barack Obama constantly. He always lies about what he could do, but he couldn't do it if in office.
He doesn't know what he is talking about and he's lying on top of it. That's Mitt Romney. The president's bearing was entirely appropriate faced with a pathological liar lying from the start.
Romney is lying every time he opens his mouth, he was sputtering around as the president was speaking. You can't talk, negotiate, nor debate with a liar.
He came off as a very self-asserting bore. He thinks he knows everything but he doesn't. He is rude, he puts everybody down who isn't a billionaire. We are nothing in his eyes.
Romney gave so many answers that are proven untrue and lies from his own former position of just three weeks ago, which in itself is bad, but the worst is it is in contradiction to what he said weeks, months, years ago. That's a typical pathological liar, say anything to win the argument and get his way by saying anything.
When did you start to enjoy being lied to? This is masochistic behavior and will continue our path into poverty. Wise up and vote for the middle class with a vote for Obama.
Do you remember Tricky Dicky Nixon? The Republican party has not changed, but we have changed and our position in the world has changed because the rest of the world is changing faster than we are. We still have a chance to change all that by voting to continue our path of growth with stability for the middle class by voting for another four years of Obama.
If you want your sons and daughters home from war, vote for Obama and Biden. If you want impartial Supreme Court justices to be appointed, vote for Obama.
Remember, Romney doesn't know what he is talking about and he's lying on top of it. The president won on substance and grace.

Abortion and Planned Parenthood seems to be a hot issue right now but the problem with it is how much propaganda republicans spout about it.
Planned Parenthood has not once received federal money to perform abortions. Any federal funding they have received went towards the other services they provided. Instead you have many people believing the Republican propaganda about Planned Parenthood who in turn spread it even further. Not only is it a flat out lie it would also be completely illegal if Planned Parenthood did use federal money for abortion. Why do so many people believe the propaganda? Is it because Planned Parenthood provides abortion services so they want to believe the slander?

When we move our vehicle, we "feel" the speed of it. However, when stationary, we still are moving,but moving by quiet a speed. We know that earth moves with
X speed, our own solar system moves at
Y speed. etc.
Why do we not feel this speed? Even sitting at my home, my mind must be gyrating at an incredible speed.
When we move our vehicle, we "feel" the speed of it. However, when stationary, we still are moving,but moving by quiet a speed. We know that earth moves with
In a car, you have a perception of speed because of (a) the "wind" passing by as you rush through the air which is not moving at the same speed as the vehicle, and (b) you perceive the stationary objects nearby as "moving" off into the distance behind.
As the earth moves in its orbit, you don't notice any "wind" from the planet rushing through space, as the atmosphere of the earth is moving along with the planet. There isn't any substance to the space around the planet to create an impression of "wind". The car is surrounded by air, so when you move through the air, you have an impression of moving because of the air rushing past. Because the planet isn't moving through an especially gaseous medium, there is no impression of movement, no "wind".
Also when it comes to our planet, there is nothing "nearby" to create a reference point that would make it appear as if we are moving relative to that reference. Even the closest of objects, such as the moon, are sufficiently far off that the only obvious impression is that these move and we are still. Hence the reason why the geocentric view of our world was dominant for so long.
Even sitting still at home, your entire body is moving at the same velocity as the rest of the planet, so your brain isn't being jostled or 'gyrated' at all. If someone shook you, then your velocity would be changing and your body would feel the effects of acceleration, and then you would be jostled and gyrated. But that is because you are perceiving sudden and rapid changes in velocity, accelerations.
From a (more) physics standpoint our acceleration on earth is basically zero from what we can feel. Just like the others that posted about cars traveling at a certain constant velocity, you won't feel a change. If a car is traveling at a constant velocity there is essentially no feelable force acting on your body. Therefore you you don't feel any effects of the speed in which you are traveling. But on the other hand if you slam on the breaks or accelerate rapidly, you would feel the respected motion on your body (so will the loose items in your car).
In a plane, it's the same thing: you feel the lift off and the altitude rise due to an increase in acceleration to meet a certain altitude in which it's safe to fly. Same with the descent of an airplane: you decelerate to a point in which it's safe to let friction and the planes mechanisms to land timely and in a matter to reach your gate for off boarding.
Another example would be elevators vs. Free falls at a theme park. Most of the time elevators decent without much acceleration but at a somewhat constat velocity so that you don't feel like you're free falling due to gravity (this isn't ALWAYS the feeling we get in elevators though). But if you were to go to a theme park which suspends you in the air and drops you close to the rate of gravity, you know you are plummeting and have that feeling in your stomach.
The earth is the same way as the examples previously described. Same as the others but hopefully in a more explanatory physics way.
When you sit in a car, and you suddenly brake, you feel the change in velocity. On earth, the change in velocity of the earth is too small for you to be noticed.
If you're big enough and fluid enough, like an atmosphere, you would feel acceleration do to the Earth's motion. Hadley cells are patterns of warm air rising in the tropics, flowing north, and sinking at higher latitudes. The Earth's rotation causes this north-south flow to curve, causing storms to have that distinctive spin you see in in hurricanes.
Alternatively, if you are an exceptionally long pendulum, you'd try to oscillate in the same plane. However, the Earth's rotation would make that plane appearto rotate with respect to the surface of the Earth. Called a Foucault pendulum, it was the first proof the Earth rotates visible from the surface.

I am interested in the asymptotics, as $x$ tends to $0$, of $$f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n}\frac{1}{(e^{nx}-1)^2}$$ This function is well defined for every $x > 0$ (for example, use $e^{nx}-1 \geq nx$).
Furthermore, Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem shows that, $$ f(x) \sim \frac{\zeta(3)}{x^2} $$ as $x$ tends to $0$, where $\displaystyle\zeta(3) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^3}$ is Apéry's constant.
Could you help me get a more precise asymptotic expansion of $f(x)$ as $x$ tends to $0$ ?
(best would be with $o(1)$)

You can't. You need one of three things to change HTML structure semantically
In theory it's possible to implement this with HTML and CSS alone but that's going to a be a nightmare.
Why don't you just add a link to a google document with a sortable table in it, in your email.
Of course using JavaScript to implement a sortable table isn't hard.
Just implement
Check this one at Matt Kruse's Javascript Toolbox.
Also you can find DHX DHTMLX very useful.
Use XML not HTML, XML is meant to hold data, HTML is meant to create a webpage. Using XML also allows you to use XSLT to manipulate the stored data. Though depending on your definition of large amount of data it may be best to allow access to a database with the information, or import the information to database on their end.
You Can achieve this easily by using the following,

As long as you're feeling in good health, try to work into the last month of your pregnancy. It can be particularly frustrating if you finish two months before, only to find that your baby is born later than expected. Working as late as possible may also allow you to spend some time with your replacement. If you're finding work tiring, try to adapt your working day and avoid traveling during rush hour, if possible. Whenever you start your leave, colleagues may hold a party and want to buy gifts for your newborn. If you're asked what you want, suggest gift certificates since these will allow you to purchase some of the more expensive baby equipment, and prevent duplication of gifts. Many stores also offer baby registries, which are a good way to choose the items you want.
One of the most common pregnancy complaints, back pain is generally a reaction to your increased weight and the laxity of the joints that are an integral part of pregnancy. There are some ways to alleviate this, and anecdotal evidence suggests that women who exercise are far less likely to suffer from extreme back pain than those who don't.
It is best to try to avoid back pain by exercising your abdominal muscles which will give your back support, and keep your legs and arms strong too. See Abdominal Exercises for an effective abdominal workout.
Carrying does not end when you have had your baby. You will have a car seat, baby bag, and perhaps groceries to carry, as well as your newborn. So it's best to keep your muscles strong throughout your pregnancy to prepare for this. Here are five top tips to avoid back pain in the third trimester:

The greatest virtue of science is that it uses irrefutable facts, data, and evidence to force us to accept the harsh truths that we, flawed humanity, may wish to ignore. Like the fact that children are—scientifically speaking—small bundles of misery.
We, of course, love children, and think they are just magical and all of that, particularly the children of our friends and family members. It's just that, you know, science seems to find that having kids will cause your life to sink inexorably into a pit of despair. Let's start with the most positive findings: a study in which researchers combed through data from millions of Americans, controlling for as many as variables as possible, in order to isolate only the effect of having children. From the LA Times:
"We find that in terms of life evaluation, people with kids and people without kids are not very different," said Arthur Stone of Stony Brook University. "But people with kids have more joys and happiness as well as more negative emotions, like anger, worry and stress."
In the rest of the world, the survey results told a different story: People with kids — at least those outside the rich English-speaking world — tended to be less content with their lives.
"Our results for the world as a whole, as well as for Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia are consistent with the most common finding in the literature, that those with children have lower life evaluation," said the study.
Without the cosseted comforts of a first world lifestyle, children are a definitive drag on happiness. Well, shoot. At least you have your spouse, right? Let's roll that final study of the day, via the New York Post:
The fact that having children has made you a stressed-out manic-depressive who's well on the way to divorce should in no way be interpreted as a sign that we don't like your kids. They're great.
The authors of the report by the UK's Open University say they looked at numerous factors that make happy relationships... the survey of 5,000 came to the conclusion that "childless married and unmarried participants are happier with their relationship and their partner than parents."

Sony is enhancing arsenal of its BD-Live features with the introduction of movieIQ, which connects viewers with a live real-time movie database powered by Gracenote.
Onkyo announces its latest Blu-ray player, the DV-BD507, and despite its $450 price, it offers a basic feature set without any additional streaming content.
We look at a couple of Sony's hot topics of 2008 that have yet to make an impact in 2009.
Warner Bros and Facebook have formed a superhero team-up to fight crime -- well, to let people chat to their Facebook friends while watching Watchmen, anyway
You'll have to wait for a firmware update to the refurbished Samsung BD-P1500, but in the meantime, you're still getting a solid deal on a Blu-ray player.
Sony reports that the company's BD-Live servers are nearing one million visitors, indicating that BD-Live may be catching on despite criticism.
Iron Man's BD-live servers were overwhelmed last week, which only puts more attention the fact that the extra content could fit on the Blu-ray Disc, instead of forcing buyers to download it.
BD-Live functionality on certain Blu-ray movies makes it easy for content makers to add features after a movie is released, but it can also make it more annoying to access the content.
Sony has updated the BDP-S350 to add BD-Live (Profile 2.0) compatibility, and--for a limited time, at least--lowered the price to $300.
Sony has sold some 238,000 PS3s in Australia since its launch, and plans to keep that number ticking over with new games, community features and a TV recorder.

I have a website with the following categories:
- Videos
- Pictures
- Stories
And I have a lot of tags like: Funny, Awesome, Mind Blowing, Crazy, etc.
Is there a way I could filter lets say: Videos tagged as "Crazy"?
I know you can do:
But that would retrieve ALL content tagged as crazy, I just want "Videos".
I've searched WP documentation without luck.

7 Dogs That Accomplished More Than We Ever Will
If television has taught us anything, it's that heroes can come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they're dog-shaped.
In fact, despite having a lifespan shorter than an average Mazda 626, some dogs have managed to accomplish more than most of us could ever hope to. Dogs like...
#7. Sergeant Stubby
Stubby, a terrier mix, was found on the Yale campus in 1917 and smuggled aboard the USS Minnesota by his owner, John Robert Conroy, to fight in WWI, making Stubby the only thing from Yale to ever contribute anything to society.
Fuck you, Eli Whitney, and your cotton gin.
Stubby officially entered service February 5, 1918, and fought in the French trenches for 18 months, presumably because the Army's recruiting quota was desperately behind schedule. He was one of the many war dog of WWI, which were used to keep morale up in the trenches by being adorable.
"You know what this war needs?"
"Ooh a puppy!"
"A puppy! Yes, I was just gonna say."
Not content with merely joining the Army and surviving a World War, Stubby the dog also managed to become a bonafide hero. You see, "Sergeant" wasn't just some cutesy name he was given, oh no. He actually earned that rank, meaning a cadre of superior officers decided he was eligible for promotion over other qualified, battle-hardened human beings. Why?
One, he was able to warn his unit of incoming artillery attacks thanks to his dog-hearing, and after being hit by a chlorine attack he became very sensitive to the smell of gas. So much so that he could accurately detect it in the air before it hit lethal dosage, barking like a maniac until the soldiers put their masks on.
Stubby also managed to save many people from "no-mans land," the open stretches of land between trenches, by listening for people shouting in English and then either leading medics to the wounded or guiding the wounded back to their trench. If they were speaking German he would presumably stab them with a bayonet he had clenched in his jaws.
All he asks for in return is your support. And snausages.
Most amazingly, Stubby managed to capture a German spy single-handedly, uncovering the bastard hiding in a bush in no-man's land and making a map of the Allied trenches. Stubby started barking to alert the Allied soldiers, and when the spy ran, Stubby chased him down and bit the shit out of him, subduing him until the Allied soldiers arrived. Not to take anything from Stubby's accomplishment, but we feel this must have been the worst German spy in the history of the world.
#6. Togo the Siberian Husky
Togo was the lead sled dog of a team owned by a man named Leonhard Seppala, a Norwegian that worked for a mining company in Alaska presumably because Norway wasn't providing enough different ways for him to freeze to death.
"Just put the A/C in the corner by the ice block. Oh and don't look, I'm naked."
In 1925, a huge outbreak of diphtheria erupted in remote Alaska, and since there weren't exactly a whole lot of roads available, the only way to deliver medicine was by dog sled. Togo was made the leader of a trip to cross the frozen tundra of Alaska to deliver the antitoxin, braving -35 (Celsius) degree weather with a -65 (Celsius) degree wind chill and a terrible selection of satellite radio stations. And he did it across 84 miles in a single day.
That night, Togo slept for just six hours before heading out again at 2am in a balmy -80(Celsius) degree headwind, journeying along an ice-laden shoreline that was breaking beneath his feet before finally giving the serum to the next team, a plucky group of huskies led by a dog named Balto.
Yes, even though Togo traveled a much longer distance under more extreme conditions, Balto got the cartoon because he happened to be the one that brought the medicine the rest of the way. Fuck him.
#5. Smoky the Yorkshire Terrier
Smoky was a Yorkshire Terrier that was found in an abandoned foxhole in New Guinea in 1944 by American soldiers, who made the logical choice of taking him with them because fuck it, dogs are cute.
He outranks you too... IN CUTENESS!
But seriously, he's your superior officer.
More noteworthy than surviving three years in a war-torn jungle as one of the least threatening animals on the planet is how Smoky managed to do it with approximately the same level of resources as a Dickensian orphan and still avoid being bombed to death 150 times.
"I don't care if it takes 300 bombs, we are killing this dog."
Because Smoky was not an "official" war dog, the Army would not feed him or even give him medical aid if he got shot, possibly due to fact that Smoky was a loose cannon and was making the department look bad. So his owner shared his rations and kept Smoky in his tent, which worked out for the owner's benefit. While on a transport ship, Smoky guided his owner to cover after hearing the whistle of incoming artillery shells over the booming of the ship's cannons.
Smoky also took part in a parachute jump which history has chosen not to explain.
Yep, it's official. This is the greatest picture we've ever run on Cracked.
Actually, looking at that picture, we're not sure an explanation is needed. We're picturing a room full of military men, saying nothing, just nodding to each other and quietly strapping a parachute to a dog. The only possible objection would involve whether or not the camera was in the right position.
#4. Saint Guinefort
Guinefort was a greyhound owned by a French knight in the 13th century and, just to be clear, is an actual saint, despite the Church's insistence that dogs have no souls.
One day, the knight went hunting and left his infant child in the care of Guinefort the dog, which is exactly the kind of decision French people usually make. When he returned, his house was torn up, his baby was missing, and Guinefort's face was covered in blood like Al Roker at a meat packing plant.
Assuming Guinefort had eaten his kid, the knight chopped the dog's head off, only to find the baby safely in a corner of the room next to the mutilated corpse of a viper.
The knight and his family were so distressed about killing their faithful friend that they buried him in a well and built a shrine around it, and Guinefort became a saint for infants, protecting them from the evils of the world. However, a disturbing cult sprang around him with insane rituals that seem to confuse "protecting infants" with "setting infants on fire" as described in a book called De Supersticione: On St. Guinefort:
... mothers took the baby and placed it naked at the foot of the tree on the straws of a cradle, lit at both ends two candles a thumbs breadth thick with fire they had brought with them and fastened them on the trunk above. Then, while the candles were consumed, they went far enough away that they could neither hear nor see the child. In this way the burning candles burned up and killed a number of babies, as we have heard from others in the same place.
"We have excellent day care facilities."
So to recap:
Dog: Performs selfless act that saves a human life.
Human: Kills dog for its trouble.
Other humans: Kill babies in dog's memory.
Yeah they really should be keeping us as pets.

from desktop/extjs project to touch/mobile with architect?
I'm full of questions today!
so, I've spent weeks/months...etc, developing a desktop style app with architect. I've got stores defined, models, grids, etc...
is there an easy way to use some of these components to get a jumpstart on a mobile app?
Any way to export the stores for use in sencha touch, or are they completely incompatible?
11 Oct 2012 3:46 AM #2
I'm also interested in this topic as I'm making a web app we would like to see also on mobile devices, without too much additional development. Are there ways to make components behave a bit differently depending on screen resolution, or do we have to make almost different apps?

I came across some graphs depicting the delta of a down-and-out call. They show that, if the risk free rate of return is 0, the delta is constant at 1. However, if the rate of return is for example 5%, the delta rises as the stock price approaches the barrier. I can't figure out why.
You can find an accurate delta graph on page 62 of the following document:
What you wrote is definitely incorrect. With a down and out call delta drops as the stock price approaches the barrier, it reaches zero smoothly as it approaches the barrier for close to expiration options and exhibits much more of discontinuous jump from values around 0.5 down to 0 at the barrier level for longer dated options.
I am not sure if any numeric comment about the dynamics could be made without knowing the relative strike and the barrier. In general, however, you would expect delta to approach zero as you are approaching the barrier and delta approaching one as you go away from the barrier and deep into the money. In general, CDO and PUO are fairly easy to manage, since as the underlying approaches the barrier, the delta is already fairly low and the discontinuity is small. For obvious reasons, the discount to vanilla is fairly small and these products trade far less frequently then CUO/PDO and PDI/CUI.

I have a web application written in the Struts2 framework. I want to host the application with another company. Is there any way to hide the code which is hosted on the server? What I want is to hide the code from anyone who has access to the server. Using the application would be allowed, but viewing the code prohibited.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Nov 12 '11 at 16:05
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
By hiding code i assume that you want to restrict others from seeing your business logic which includes you struts2 Action classes any other configurations and Business logic or other potential algorithms business routines you have written in your application.
When we deploy our application on a web-server we generally give only class files along with any JSP,CSS java-script etc.
though there is no certain or 100% way to d-compile java classes but there are potential so many d-compiler out there which can help to d-compile the code.
So if some one want to really see your code he can get an idea about it.
regarding securing JSP/HTML/CSS etc
If you want to protect you HTML and javascript code then there are tools like Googles Closure compiler that optomise the javascript and in the process render it difficult to reverse engineer.
If your code is written in java then there are open source tools like Proguard. It is likely there are similar tools for other languages. Retrofitting obfuscation can be a be a bit tricky, especially where interfaces are concerned but does provide a degree pf protection.

The Elections Performance Index, or EPI, tracks 17 distinct indicators of election administration effectiveness. A state's overall average is calculated from its performance on all 17 indicators, relative to all states across comparable federal election cycles—either presidential or midterm. A state with an average of 100 percent in a presidential year, such as 2012, would have the best value of any state on every indicator across all presidential years (in this case 2008 and 2012), and a state with an overall average of zero in any given presidential year would have the worst value of any state on every indicator across all presidential years. This holds true for midterm years as well, which currently include only 2010 but will be expanded when the 2014 election is added in the next EPI update. Because these averages are based on the performance of all states, even if a state had a 100 percent average there still is room for improvement in future elections.
Further, because the overall EPI average is an average of 17 values, improvement on any one indicator, relative to other states, will not change the number much. A state that performs well on one indicator but close to average in every other will not, overall, perform significantly different from the national average. Consequently, for a state's overall average to increase from one year to another, that state must do better across many indicators, relative to other states.
Presidential and midterm elections are not comparable using this interactive report because of significant differences in electorates, available data, and baseline scales. For more information, please see the methodology.

Antigay Watch List: Why Do Voters Love Our Villains?
Michele Bachmann, U.S. House of Representatives, Minnesota, 6th District
RESULT: Reelected
Michele Bachmann yet again eked out a win in her Minnesota district and returns to Congress with severely antigay views. With 100% of districts reporting, Bachmann had 50.6% of the vote in the sixth district, compared to 49.4% for Democratic challenger Jim Graves. Only 4,207 votes separated them.
The title of queen (so to speak) of the country's antigay congressional candidates had to go to Bachmann. The failed presidential candidate had described being gay as "bondage" and "part of Satan," and her husband Marcus's counseling clinics offer so-called reparative therapy, a widely discredited practice aimed at turning gay people straight. The Bachmanns have denied the clinics provide this type of therapy, but undercover investigations indicate they do. (Read More About The Race)
Steve King, U.S. House of Representatives, Iowa, 4th District
RESULTS: Reelected
Ultraconservative and antigay Iowa congressman Steve King has been elected to a sixth term in the U.S. House, beating back a tough challenge from Christie Vilsack, the wife of former Iowa governor and current U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. King faced a difficult reelection campaign after redistricting, but emerged the winner nonetheless.
King is one of the National Organization for Marriage's closest allies. He said he feared his state would become a "gay marriage mecca" after a 2009 state Supreme Court decision struck down barriers to legal marriage by same-sex couples. And yes, that's him with Missouri senate candidate Todd Akin, who he worked with in Congress to try and ban same-sex marriages on all military bases. More on Akin later. (Read More About The Race)
Janice Daniels, Mayor of Troy, Michigan
RESULTS: Defeated
The mayor of Troy, who first landed in hot water for antigay comments made on Facebook, has been ousted by voters who were sick of her bumbling.
Before Janice Daniels was elected mayor, she made headlines by responding to New York State enacting marriage equality in June by saying on Facebook, "I think I'm going to throw away my I Love New York carrying bag now that queers can get married there." Then once in office, during a discussion at Troy High School about establishing a bullying and suicide prevention forum, Mayor Daniels said she wanted to invite "a panel of psychologists who would testify that homosexuality is a mental disease," according to one of the leaders of the school's Gay-Straight Alliance that was organizing the event.
The Detroit Free Press reports that the recall passed by 52% to 48% — and that Daniels blames the media for her defeat.
Allen West, U.S. House of Representatives, Florida, 18th District
RESULTS: Too Close To Call
It's still not for certain that Tea Party favorite Allen West has been voted out of office, but his LGBT-supportive opponent is claiming victory. With 100% of precincts reporting, Patrick Murphy leads West, 50.4% to 49.6%. Separating them are only 2,456 votes. West is demanding a recount.
West is running for a second term and is known for his outlandish statements. He once said that people don't get fired for being gay, so antidiscrimination laws are unnecessary. (Read More About The Race)
Virginia Foxx, U.S. House of Representatives, North Carolina, 5th District
RESULTS: Reelected
Antigay Republican Virginia Foxx has won a fifth term in the U.S. House of Representatives from North Carolina, defeating Democrat Elisabeth Motsinger.
Most of America met Virginia Foxx in 2009 during the debate over the expansion of the federal hate-crimes law. "The hate-crimes bill that's called the Matthew Shepard bill is named after a very unfortunate incident that happened where a young man was killed, but we know that that young man was killed in the commitment of a robbery. It wasn't because he was gay. … It's really a hoax that that continues to be used as an excuse for passing these bills." The bill passed despite her unfortunate statement, expanding the federal definition of hate crimes to cover those based on sexual orientation or gender identity, allowing greater resources for investigation, prosecution, and prevention of such crimes.
Marsha Blackburn, U.S. House of Representatives, Tennessee, 7th District
RESULTS: Reelected
Antigay congresswoman Marsha Blackburn has been reelected from Tennessee's seventh district, defeating two challengers, Scott Beasley and Pat Riley.
Blackburn, a Republican, was one of 39 members of Congress who attempted to overturn marriage equality in Washington, D.C. And Blackburn cochaired the committee that drafted this year's national Republican platform, considered the most antigay in history. (Read More About The Race)
Todd Akin, U.S. Senate, Missouri
RESULTS: Defeated
Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill has defeated antigay Republican Todd Akin for U.S. Senate from Missouri. Akin, a U.S. House member seeking to move up to the Senate, became infamous this year with his remark about women's bodies being able to prevent pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape," but his antigay rhetoric is just as mind-boggling. He said expansion of the federal hate-crimes law would actually "increase hatred," and he referred to repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" as "an eclipse of reason." (Read More About The Race)
Tom McClintock, U.S. House of Representatives, California, 4th District
RESULTS: Reelected
Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2008, Tom McClintock was reelected Tuesday. His returns one of the more antigay politicians to Congress. He still takes an interest in California legislation; on his campaign website he has promoted the effort to repeal a California law mandating the inclusion of LGBT people and accomplishments in public school curricula. The law, he said, represents "a gross overreach by the state Legislature to usurp the parental rights of Californians" and "exposes young children to curriculums and textbooks promoting objectionable lifestyles." (Read More About The Race)
Linda Lingle, U.S. Senate, Hawaii
RESULTS: Defeated
Mazie Hirono, an LGBT-friendly U.S. representative from Hawaii, will move up to the Senate with her victory over Linda Lingle, who as the state's governor had vetoed civil unions legislation. In a recent debate, Democrat Hirono took Republican Lingle to task for her veto, which she made in front of LGBT activists she had called to witness it. They had expected her to sign it. (Read More About The Race)
George Allen, U.S. Senate, Virginia
RESULTS: Defeated
Former Virginia governor Tim Kaine, a Democrat, has defeated Republican George Allen in the race for a U.S. Senate seat from the state. Allen, who was a former senator from the state, lost his reelection bid in 2006 after being caught on tape using a derogatory racial term. He has a record of opposing marriage equality and, in a flip-flop, LGBT-inclusive hate-crimes laws. His website also noted that he "does not support same-sex couples adopting children" and thinks the Defense of Marriage Act "does not fully protect the institution of marriage," so he supported an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to keep gay couples out.
Mark Clayton, U.S. Senate, Tennessee
RESULTS: Defeated
Republican Bob Corker, as expected, easily defeated antigay gadfly Democrat Mark Clayton in the U.S. Senate race in Tennessee. While Corker, an incumbent, is no friend to LGBTs, with a 0 rating from the Human Rights Campaign, Clayton, who was disowned by his party after a surprise primary win, was perhaps even worse on our issues.
The party declined to support Clayton because of his volunteer work with Public Advocate, an antigay organization designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. And The Washington Post, which had dubbed Clayton "2012's Worst Candidate," notes that his "policy ideas set him apart from many other Democrats: He is unusual in opposing abortion rights and same-sex marriage, but he's downright exceptional in saying that the Transportation Security Administration 'mandates [transsexuals] and homosexuals grabbing children in their stranger-danger zones.'"
Roy Moore, Alabama Chief Justice
RESULTS: Reelected
After being fired in 2003, Roy Moore handily won reelection on Tuesday as Alabama's most powerful judge. Moore bested two other opponents and received more than 50% of the vote. Since he was removed from his position nine years ago after refusing federal orders to take down his a monument to the Ten Commandments, Moore hasn't had a change of heart about the separation of church and state. His victory party on Tuesday featured a cake shaped like the tablets of the Ten Commandments, the Los Angeles Times reports. Moore also has no qualms about airing his biases of LGBT people. While campaigning earlier this month, he told a crowd of Tea Party supporters that "same-sex marriage will lead to the ultimate destruction of our country." (Read More About The Race)
