3.5 percent is solid growth. But given the prolonged period of increasing unemployment, the growth of the population during that period, the ongoing growth of the population, and increases in productivity, you'd have to sustain growth at that level for quite a few quarters before the labor market returns to good health. Another way of looking at it is that given the high unemployment rate and the recent contraction in output we should be able to sustain a period of abnormally high "catch-up" growth without sparking any inflation at all.
While noting the shortcomings of stimulus-boosted GDP growth, Yglesias explains why it's economically essential to maintain the stimulus if employment is to grow. Yglesias also somewhat glibly lays out the political challenge. "The key question going forward is will policymakers continue with growth policies until unemployment falls and wages are growing, or will they give in to demands from coupon-clippers and goldbugs to put the breaks [sic] on?" he asks. The political challenge, then, is to neither give up on the stimulus nor to declare victory prematurely.

PS3 Slim rumors rebuffed as price cut rumors swirl

What we heard: Amid the flurry of earnings reports, NPD figures, and preemptive game announcements last week, two rumors about the PlayStation 3 emerged--one credible, the other less so. The latter came in the form of a series of photos on a Chinese hardware blog of what looks like a new slimline 120GB PS3.
Though they have since been removed, the shots (pictured) caused quite a stir by showing a drastically slimmer console with an even more minimalist control scheme and matte-black finish. It also featured some convincing-looking internal circuitry and packaging, replete with all the appropriate Sony logos and a new PS3 logo font.
As is their policy, Sony Computer Entertainment America reps declined to comment on the matter. However, their traditionally chattier cousins at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe had no problem telling CVG, "We currently don't have any plans for a redesigned PS3."
If true, the SCEE statement means the device shown by the Chinese blog is the latest in a long line of Chinese game-console knockoffs, such as the now-infamous Vii.
The PS3 scuttlebutt gumbo was also stirred up last week up by CNBC, which was recently ridiculed for perceived deficiencies in its reporting of the global financial crisis. Here, though, the financial news outlet's correspondent and source are both rock-solid. Chris Morris, the well-regarded correspondent behind CNNMoney's now-defunct Game Over column, quotes none other than Sony corporate executive officer Nobuyuki Oneda.
Oneda was speaking to reporters following Sony's earnings report, in which the electronics company posted its first annual loss since 1995. When asked about what method the company would employ to boost yearly PS3 sales 30 percent, the executive said, "Well, I think you have to guess what will be our pricing strategy."
The official story: See above.
Bogus or not bogus?: A 99.99 percent chance of not bogus that a PS3 price cut is coming sometime before March 31, 2010--the end of Sony's fiscal year. As for the slimline PS3, Sony said reduced manufacturing and shipping costs were a major factor for introducing the slimline PlayStation 2 in November 2004.
Were the company to enjoy similar savings with its current console, a cheaper PS3 would be a more palatable proposition for the cash-strapped company. Hopefully Sony's E3 2009 press conference will definitively confirm or dismiss the conjecture on the morning of June 2.

San Francisco Border Wars
from the Merc
Instigating what one Peninsula politician said would be a "border war," some San Mateo County officials said they would try to implement a toll to enter the county from the north during rush hour if San Francisco enacts a similar entrance fee for its city. The threat by Peninsula leaders is an effort to persuade San Francisco leaders to shelve their plan.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors, acting as the city's transportation authority, will vote Tuesday on whether to launch a study of the toll program that, if later approved by city and state leaders, would take effect in 2015.

food safety law to close farmers markets?
Forage SF sent out an urgent letter last night about the new The Food Safety Modernization Act (Senate Bill 510) wich would be one of the most comprehensive reforms of food-safety laws since 1938.
update, Forage SF has updated their message with the following, some of which was already posted here, but that's not quite the whole story either. The Senate did pass the bill last week, but it's not law yet and they actually screwed up and have to do it again, because for this type of bill, the House needs to pass it first
Comedy Central's John Stewart even takes a swipe at the Congressional goof
Washington Post has details on the goof but the issues on the local SF Forage scene and farmers markets and community gardens are described below
Since this is a national bill, you can be sure the debate is raging all over the country, and it is, and there also a lot of scare tactics being used on both sides. One of the better blogs to take it apart comes from Grist

Washington Post has details on the goof but the issues on the local SF Forage scene and farmers markets and community gardens are described below
from ForageSF today
some new information has come to light since I sent that email about SB510. The food safety and modernization act:
1. I got it wrong. Yesterday I emailed people about speaking out about this bill, since I felt it could endanger the underground food movement by hurting small producers. Turns out the bill was already voted on last Monday, a week before I sent the email, and I really didn't have all the information being making a decision. The articles I was reading did not give a date, and for some reason I got it into my mind that it was this Monday. Feeling a sense of urgency, I sent an email without realizing that it already passed, as well as not knowing the finer points of the bill, my apologies.
2. Another fact I failed to realize is that the bill had been very much improved with the addition of the Tester-Hagan amendment. With Tester-Hagan, local growers and sellers are given a pass on some of the more onerous measures of the bill. As I understand it, the amendment exempts food producers making less than $500,000/year, those that sell directly to consumers, and to customers within 275 miles of their farm. It also exempts producers that are already inspected by a local government agency (such as the health department). Further, the idea that back yard gardeners being prosecuted for giving away veggies seems to be a media fabrication.
The more I read about this bill the less sure I am about any position. It seems people fall into two camps:
One believes this bill signals the end of small food production as we know it. By placing undue burden on small producers in the form of extra paperwork and record keeping, the cost of which large scale producers can more readily absorb. This camp sees the bill as an Orwellian overhaul of the way we relate to food, criminalizing even the simple act of giving backyard veggies to your neighbor. They imagine hoards of FDA swat teams knocking down the doors of every small farmer in the county that doesn't file the necessary paperwork.
The second camp thinks this is a positive bill, but perhaps doesn't go far enough. Although it does give the FDA more power, and require more regular inspections of facilities (up to once every 5 years from once every 10), as I understand it, it doesn't give them the necessary budget to do much more than that. It does seem to give the FDA new powers to track and inspect food facilities, and to force food recalls, which is a positive step given the recent spat of tainted eggs etc. What it means for producers such as me and the other vendors at the Underground Market, I don't really know. At the moment we seem to be experiencing (at least locally), a thaw on the puritanical idea that food produced at home is totally unsafe. People are beginning to realize that not every jar of jam made outside a stainless steel clad facility is dangerous. I would like to see that continue and grow. We can only hope that the new regulations achieve their stated purpose of making our food safer, rather than being yet another weapon for big business to use against local food.
This is what I understand from my research, but for an in depth discussion of the bill, check out Grist's coverage:
And this from PoltiiFact: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/dec/01/blog-posting/food-safety-law-regulate-your-backyard-garden-no-i/
From ForageSF last Friday
There is a bill being voted on tomorrow (Monday) that could completely destroy what we are all trying to build in the SF food community. I don't usually speak out against congressional bills, I think that more good is done focusing on building locally rather than getting angry about what is happening on the federal level, but this bill needs to be stopped.
SB510 is a food safety overhaul that authorizes fines up to $250,000 for doing exactly what we do at the Underground Market. Selling food made in home kitchens. Killing small food producers, while allowing big business to thrive. It even makes it illegal to give away food from your own home garden.
Food safety is very important, but we need a bill that will protect small scale businesses, rather than the large scale producers to who are often behind major food borne outbreaks.
This bill would theoretically make every vendor at the Underground Market liable for a quarter million dollar fine for selling you a jar of jam. It could also make you liable for those same fines for giving away your backyard veggies to your neighbor.
This won't just affect the Underground Market, but all the small scale food projects going on in this city and around the country. It would give government officials unprecedented authority to fine and imprison small scale food producers.
I know most of us (and I include myself) often think that our voice has no impact, but this is too important not to act. If you have anything to add, or if you made a call or wrote a letter, let us know on our facebook page here.

Since this is a national bill, you can be sure the debate is raging all over the country, and it is, and there also a lot of scare tactics being used on both sides. One of the better blogs to take it apart comes from Grist
Judith McGeary, founder and executive director of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance: First, the simpler issue: GAPS, or good agricultural practices. You won't find that term anywhere in S. 510, but the basic substance is in Section 105, which authorizes FDA to issue "produce safety standards" that tell farmers how to grow and raise crops. Page 51 of the bill includes the Tester-Hagan language and exempts farms that gross under $500,000 (adjusted for inflation) and that sell more than half their products directly to individual consumers, local restaurants, or local retail food establishments. There is no requirement for the farm to submit paperwork to the FDA or to register.
The more complex issue is the one with "facilities." First, let's sort through the existing law:
"Facilities" are any business that processes, manufactures, holds, or stores food. Under the 2002 Bioterrorism Act, all facilities must register with the FDA. Those regulations have been in force for several years, although enforcement has been very lax.
"Farms" are not "facilities." BUT, if the farm processes or manufactures food, it becomes classified as a facility.
"Retail food establishments" are also not facilities. Retail food establishments are entities whose primary purpose is to sell to consumers, specifically those businesses that sell more than half of their products directly to individual consumers (not businesses, so the direct sales does not include sales to restaurants, etc). BUT there is also a catch on the retail food establishments issue, namely that the Bioterrorism law is based on each location registering. So, if a business processes food at one location and sell at another -- such as someone who makes jams in their kitchen and then sells it at the local farmers market -- the existing law is unclear as to whether or not they would be a retail food establishment. FDA has made conflicting statements over whether such operations would have to register under the EXISTING law.
Second, we look at the issues of S. 510 and the Tester-Hagan amendment. S. 510 would layer extensive HACCP-type requirements on every facility that has to register under the existing law. The Tester-Hagan amendment's purpose was to try to mitigate that harm for small-scale producers. Politically, it was not going to be able to undo the existing Bioterrorism Act.
Even so, the Tester-Hagan amendment DOES fix one of the problems with the existing Bioterrorism Act requirements. The amendment directs FDA to clarify its definition of "retail food establishment" to include businesses that sell more than half their products directly to consumers at locations such as roadside stands and farmers markets, and through CSAs. (See pages 11-12 of the bill.)
So, under existing law, the farmer who makes a few jars of jam from his produce and sells them at a farmers market may have to register with the FDA under the Bioterrorism Act because he doesn't qualify as either a "farm" or a "retail food establishment." The same is true for the small-scale bread-maker or cheese-maker. And under S. 510, that farmer/bread-maker/cheese-maker would have to go through the full HACCP-type process. Under the Tester-Hagan amendment, that farmer/bread-maker/cheese-maker would now be exempt from both the registration requirement and the HACCP process as a "retail food establishment."
Make no mistake --- this was a hotly negotiated provision.
That didn't end the issue, though, because the question is, what about food producers who sell their products directly to local restaurants, co-ops, and other local outlets that are very important to the growth of the local foods movement? The "retail food establishment" exemption, even as broadened by the Tester-Hagan amendment, requires a majority of sales to individual consumers, not businesses.
That's where the Tester-Hagan amendment kicks in again. A business that is a "facility" (i.e. that doesn't qualify for the exemptions for farms or retail food establishments) can avoid going through the HACCP-type process by showing that it qualifies, i.e. that it has gross sales under half a million and sells more than half directly to qualified end users (individual consumers, or local restaurants and local retailers). Yes, that will require some paperwork. I would have preferred that it didn't, and that the onus rest with the agency, but this is what was politically achievable.
Final results under the Tester-Hagan amendment:
1. Farms that grow fruits and vegetables will NOT have to comply with the produce safety standards (often referred to as "GAPs") if they gross under half a million (adjusted for inflation) and sell more than half their products directly to consumers, local restaurants, or local retailers. The farms are not required to register. They do have to either put label on or display a sign with the farm name and address. And if FDA directly links the farm to an outbreak, the exemption can be withdrawn for that farm; the onus to prove the basis for the withdrawal is on the agency, not the farm. See pages 51-53 of the bill.
2. Businesses that process foods and sell more than half their products directly to individual consumers (not businesses) will not have to register with FDA nor comply with the HACCP-requirements. See pages 11-12 of the bill.
3. Businesses that process foods and sell LESS than half their products directly to individual consumers may have another option if they qualify (i.e. gross under half a million and sell more than half their products to individual consumers, local restaurants, and local retailers combined). They can produce paperwork showing (1) that they qualify and (2) that they comply with any applicable local and state laws. If so, they still have to register because of the existing requirements under the Bioterrorism Act, but they do not have to go through the extensive HACCP-type requirements that will be added on under S. 510. Again, there is withdrawal provision that places the onus on the agency. See pages 19-24 of the bill.
As for the study (pages 24-26 of the bill), the bill directs FDA to conduct a study that would, for the first time, look at the issues of scale and type of processes in relation to food-borne illness. It does not mandate that any individual person hand over the information to the government. Also, FDA is directed to provide a report to Congress within 18 months. Regardless of the agency's motivations, it would be logistically impossible for it to send agents to every small farm and food processor in the country in that time period. The most feasible course of action is for the agency to use existing data on food distribution (from the census) and outbreaks (from CDC and state health departments), and do follow-up investigations on the source of the outbreaks. And, as is always the case for local foods producers, we need to stay informed and be ready to respond if the agency does try to overstep.
And there's a positive reason behind this study. In arguing that local foods and small farms are safer and should not be regulated by FDA, we don't have a lot of hard data to back us up. The directive to do a study is the first attempt to make a get data to show that smaller-scale producers who don't commingle their products and who do less processing and transportation produce safer food.
None of this is a perfect solution -- S. 510 and the Tester-Hagan amendment involved very ugly sausage making. The Tester-Hagan amendment ultimately fixes some of the existing problems caused by the 2002 Bioterrorism Law and a very significant part of the problems that would be caused if S. 510 passes.
But it is, at its heart, damage control. That isn't the fault of Sens. Tester or Hagan or any of the people who advocated for this amendment. It's due to agribusiness's capture of FDA and much of Congress -- a problem that has developed over decades and that we will need to spend the next decade fighting.
Gumpert: I appreciate the optimism most have here about the FDA's good intentions. That has not been its hallmark for small food enterprises, but I suppose there's a first time for everything.
Also, I definitely would use Judith McGeary for my lawyer if I was a food producer. Unfortunately, I think lots of them will need her. In that vein, if I was advising entrepreneurs about whether to start a business in the food production arena (and I've advised a fair number over the years), I would tell them to avoid this entire morass ... unless they are prepared to go entirely private, and never register for a single permit.

On Sunday in Oceanside, Calif., Junior Seau's life was celebrated with a public paddle-out, a gathering at an ocean spot where Seau enjoyed surfing.
Gretel C. Kovach, U-T San Diego:
Surfers tossed flower leis into the water during the hourlong memorial, in a Polynesian tradition drawing on Seau's Samoan ancestry. Amid their cheers, splashing toward the heavens and arms raised with fingers splayed in a double-five salute to number 55, salt water also mixed with tears.
Drew Brees, a former Charger who said Seau "was the greatest teammate a young guy could ask for," attended the event.
Just got back from paddle out at Jr's surf spot in Oceanside. Thousands of people on land and in the water to honor Jr. Unbelievable site
As influential as Seau was in the San Diego area as an athlete and philanthropist, he could prove just as influential in death.
From around the Web:
Peter King, SI.com: Seau's death could be a turning point in player safety.
(Also in King's column: Redskins linebacker London Fletcher said players should have mandatory counseling after retirement.)
A friend in San Diego told a CNN affiliate that Seau had indicated that he wanted to give his brain to science to study the impact of concussions.
But the Seau family is reconsidering its decision to donate his brain for research.
Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall wrote about his struggles with mental illness and its stigma in an op-ed in The Chicago Sun-Times.
Nick Canepa, U-T San Diego: Bill Walton, a former San Diego sports star, regrets that he wasn't able to help Seau.
Cam Inman of The Bay Area News Group quoted the former Chargers linebacker Gary Plummer as saying:
"In the 1990s, I did a concussion seminar. They said a Grade 3 concussion meant you were knocked out, and a Grade 1 meant you were seeing stars after a hit, which made me burst out in laughter. As a middle linebacker in the NFL, if you don't have five of these (Grade 1 effects) each game, you were inactive the next game.
"Junior played for 20 years. That's five concussions a game, easily. How many in his career then? That's over 1,500 concussions. I know that's startling, but I know it's true. I had over 1,000 in my 15 years. I felt the effects of it. I felt depression going on throughout my divorce. Junior went through it with his divorce."
Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com looked at one of the N.F.L.'s challenges: "The NFL is in an extremely difficult spot. In order to keep itself alive, it may have to lower the level of violence dramatically, but it is that level of intense violence that draws many fans."

These days, it seems like all the bad guys in the world have it in for America. Thankfully, someone is always looking out for us, whether they're dynamic marionettes or top-secret teenagers. Both these films have lots of fun with the spy movie genre. D.E.B.S. (Sony; Movie •••, Picture/Sound •••½, Extras ••) is aimed squarely at family audiences.
If something scared an audience the first time, it should work again, right? And the third, fourth, and fifth times, yes? Well, House of Wax (Warner; Movie •½, Picture/Sound ••••, Extras ••) steals its title from a Vincent Price vehicle, but it's little more than an amateurish excuse to slice and dice attractive teens.

Health Care Management student Lynn McVey has been appointed Acting President and CEO of Meadowlands Hospital. In announcing her appointment, the Board of Directors cited her expertise on evidence-based management as timely in today's turbulent healthcare climate.
Ms. McVey will receive her master's degree in Health Care Management from the College of Saint Elizabeth in 2012. "With only 7 HCM credits un-der my belt," says McVey, I was promoted to Assistant VP from Radiology Director. Thankfully, my CSE education was in perfect synch with my career. For the past five years, HCM was right next to me as I navigated the foreign waters of two more promotions. Now as Acting CEO, I hope to design my port-folio around the education I received from HCM and from my career. It has been the perfect storm of education and advancement. Thank you, CSE!"

I wanted to show off some red for Valentine's Day. Actually, I'm going to show off some red, white, and blue.
Here is a Tino Martinez certified autograph that I recently picked up. It's a 2004 Upper Deck USA auto and #'d to 360. I grabbed it on eBay, and I love it. I wish the auto wasn't on a sticker, but the card is super cool. My Tino RC is from 1988 Topps Traded, so this almost serves as a bookend on my Tino collection.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. Slowly I'm coming back. So here is my lame attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

Moms With Trainers...Let's Get Physical
Five Haddonfield moms work out with a personal trainer at home to achieve individual fitness goals.
Mornings before school are busy times in households with young families. They begin and end in a flash of brown bags, water bottles, books and backpacks. Within an hour, many kids and parents are up and out the door to drop-off at school and take on the business of the day. Patch recently caught up with a group of enterprising moms who are experimenting with a new way to carve out some productive "me" time somewhere between the busy school day drop-offs and pick-ups, sports, clubs, homework and dinnertime of busy Haddonfield families. The moms: two business owners, two Ph.D.s and a doctoral candidate at University of Pennsylvania, meet up for a workout in a small group exercise setting in someone's basement once a week.

Jesse Lee Soffer's acting career began at the early age of six when he landed a Kix cereal commercial. At age eight, Soffer made his feature film debut opposite John Goodman and Cathy Moriarty in "Matinee." Soon after, he was cast as Susan Sarandon and Sam Shephard's son in the family drama "Safe Passage," as well as the iconic character "Bobby Brady" in both "The Brady Bunch Movie" and "A Very Brady Sequel."
Soffer starred as runaway-turned-sleuth "Jamie Kincaid" in the made-for-television movie "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler," in which he appeared with the legendary Lauren Bacall. Additionally, Soffer worked with acclaimed director Richard Shepard in the cable movie "The Royale." In 1998, Soffer was cast as a series regular on "Two of a Kind," starring Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. When the series ended, Soffer returned to the East Coast and immediately took on the role of "Max Nickerson" on "Guiding Light."
After only four months on the show, Soffer decided to focus solely on his studies and put himself through The Gunnery boarding school in Connecticut. Upon graduation, he realized that he still yearned to act and, once again, began to actively pursue a career in front of the camera.
Within months, Soffer landed a major contract role on the daytime drama "As the World Turns." His portrayal of troubled youth "Will Munson," earned him three consecutive Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series in 2006, 2007 and 2008, as well as a Soap Opera Digest Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Lead Actor in 2005.
Soffer made his return to the big screen in Davis Guggenheim's independent feature film "Gracie," playing the son of Elizabeth Shue and Dermot Mulroney. In the film, Soffer was able to combine his real-life passion for soccer as a star high school player and older brother to the title character. Soffer most recently has landed roles in the feature film "In Time," starring Justin Timberlake, as well as guest roles on the TV series "CSI: Miami," "The Mentalist" and "Rizzoli & Isles."
From Ossining, NY, Soffer currently lives in Chicago.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Corker, R-Tenn., today delivered remarks on the Senate floor urging Congress to use Medicare savings to help restore the solvency of the Medicare system and not to pay for a new government-run health care entitlement program.
Excerpts from his speech are included below.
"This is a momentous time in our country's history as all of us in both bodies on both sides of the aisle find ourselves focused on the issue of health care reform. Madam President, in the middle 1990's I had the tremendous honor of serving the state of Tennessee in a position that allowed me to oversee the state's Medicaid program and many other programs in our state that focused on the needs of many of the underserved in our state. Since that time, I have been convinced we, all of us, have a moral responsibility, to do everything we can in this country to ensure Americans of all walks of life have the opportunity for affordable, quality, private health insurance."
"It's my hope we will end up with a bipartisan solution. I have been very disappointed in the results, though, of legislation that has come forward thus far. My sense is that the House of Representatives is promoting a bill that to me does not meet the mark. The HELP committee just passed out, on party-line vote, a bill that, again, does not meet the mark."
"I think all of us understand that our biggest obligations exist in entitlements with Medicare and Social Security, and I think that most of us thought as we came into this Congress one of the major focuses we would have would be to get our entitlements under control."

On Tuesday, North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple (R) signed into law three of the nation's strictest anti-abortion laws, banning all procedures after six weeks, prohibiting abortions due to genetic abnormalities, and adding more hoops for doctors working at the state's one abortion clinic. On Wednesday, the libertarian-leaning Mercatus Center at George Mason University unveiled its annual "Freedom in the 50 States" report, ranking each state's fiscal, regulatory, and personal "freedom."
Guess who's number one?
The Center's rankings are quite thorough—you can see where each stands based on dozens of variables, including taxation, tort reform, fireworks laws, same-sex partnerships, happy hour regulations, the legality of raw milk, and whether or not the state bans salvia. But one thing is pointedly happy from the methodology, despite its seemingly obvious consequences for individual and economic liberty: reproductive rights.
Congratulations, North Dakota. This award will look nice up on the mantle next to the anti-choice March Madness championship trophy.

So much for that.
On Wednesday, actress and public health activist Ashley Judd ended months of public speculation about her political future and announced she would not challenge Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) next fall. Judd, who lives outside Nashville and would have had to establish residency in the Commonwealth, cited family commitments in an announcement on Twitter:
The case for Judd, on its surface, was pretty straightforward. She is young; capable of raising vast sums of money; and sufficiently beloved in the Bluegrass that Steve Beshear, the state's Democratic governor, calls her "Kentucky's first daughter." McConnell, a fifth-term Republican, is the least popular senator in a chamber that currently includes Robert Menendez. His approach to legislating often seems like a manifestation of his own tortoise-like features—a plodding process that reached its apotheosis last December when he filibustered his own bill.
After hinting in January that she was seriously considering entering the race, Judd quickly became a conservative target. Karl Rove's American Crossroads launched a web ad mocking her Tennessee residency and liberal views, and Republican organizations touted her previous statements on mountain-top removal coal mining and the human rights abuses associated with Apple products. Judd, a three-time rape survivor whose international work deals with victims of sexual abuse, also became a subject of conservative mockery for her frequent discussion of rape—a cautious reminder that, a year after Todd Akin, Republicans still have trouble keeping their feet out of their mouths when they talk about the issue.
With Judd out of the picture, Democrats' best hope may be Kentucky secretary of state Alison Lundergan Grimes, a 34-year-old first-term officeholder with close ties to the Clintons. (The former president has reportedly encouraged Lundergan Grimes to consider running.)
Marriage equality is ascendant, you may have heard. But Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas), for one, believes the question of who can and cannot marry is a settled issue in his state. "In Texas, it is fairly clear about where this state stands on that issue," Perry told the Dallas Morning News on Tuesday. "As recently as a constitutional amendment that passed—I believe, with 76 percent of the vote. The people of the state of Texas, myself included, believe marriage is between one man and one woman."
But Perry is, like many opponents of same-sex marriage, relying on some fairly dusty data sets. The constitutional amendment he's referring to passed in 2005 (it's 2013 now) and it banned same-sex civil unions in addition to same-sex marriages. Texans were really opposed to marriage equality then. James Henson and Joshua Blank of the Texas Politics Project have been paying a bit more attention to the numbers recently, though, and noticed a trend:
When we went back to examine the trend lines in the polls that included the gay marriage item, it became evident that overall opposition to same sex-marriage has been on a slow and steady decline, with some internal patterns of change among particular age, gender and partisan subgroups, including young people and suburbanites.
Perry would do well to consult this handy chart, from the TPP:
Gay marriage is trending up, opposition to any legal recognition has trended down. Texas probably isn't going to go the way of Maryland and Washington anytime soon, but legal recognition of same-sex unions—which is prohibited under the 2005 constitutional amendment—is now the preference of six in ten Texans. And a majority of young Republicans now support full marriage equality, suggesting that this trend is only going to continue, even if Texas doesn't start turning purple. Oops.
More Mother Jones coverage of gay rights and marriage equality
Ruben Diaz, a 69-year-old Democratic state senator from the Bronx, was one of the best-received speakers at the National Organization for Marriage's March for Marriage on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. His message, shouted out in two languages (with a sidekick yelling the English), was fairly succinct:
"One man! Un hombre! One woman! Una mujer! One man! Un hombre! One woman! Una mujer! One man! Un hombre! One woman! Una mujer! One man! Un hombre! One woman! Una mujer! One man! Un hombre! One woman! Una mujer! One man! Un hombre! One woman! Una mujer! One man! Un hombre! One woman! Una mujer! One man! Un hombre! One woman! Una mujer!"
You get the picture. Diaz is the Edith S. Childs of the anti-equality movement.
Though NOM's rally features the loud music and chants of a pep rally (also: bagpipes, grown men dressed like Buckingham palace guards, and dudes wearing red sashes), it has a different vibe: that of coping. With public opinion swinging wildly in favor of marriage equality, dozens of politicians in both parties following suit, and the Supreme Court poised on the brink of one (if not two) landmark decisions, the once dominant campaign against gay marriage is up against the ropes. Even a majority of young Republicans now believe same-sex marriage should be legal. The movement that conservative columnist George Will noted is "literally dying" decided to hold its rally in front of the Museum of Natural History—just a few paces, that is, from actual fossils.
NOM is attempting to convince its political allies, the media, the public, and perhaps itself that, despite appearances, it has been a good year for the anti-equality movement—that its argument is still a winning one.
On the National Mall, this happened in several stages. The first was grief. Diane Hess of Maryland was standing stage left with a sign that left little room for ambiguity. "Same sex marriage + the liberal media + Obama = the new Axis of Evil." From her perspective, the nation is totally screwed. "I do see us in a worse place, in a more godless place in 20 years," she said. Same-sex marriage is here, and it's only the beginning. "There is going to be a persecution of the Christian church." Sarah Stites, a student at Grove City College and one of the few actual young people at a rally was only a bit more bullish. "It seems to be heading that way," she said, when I ask about marriage equality. "I feel like people my age aren't getting all the information. They're being swayed by the media."
"Eventually there is gonna be a backlash," she remarked, "but I do think think we're going in the direction of same-sex marriage."
The second stage was doubt. As this line of thinking goes, everything you've been told about support for marriage equality should be questioned. "The Field Poll only said there was [38] percent support for traditional marriage," said NOM president Brian Brown, referring to a poll of Proposition 8 in California. "And guess how that turned out!" (Never mind that the survey was taken five years ago.) Martha Marsh of Maryland told me much the same thing: "First of all, I don't think the majority of Americans are behind same-sex marriage—I think a lot of politicians are for it." Wei Feng, who drove down from Rochester, New York, with his two daughters for the march on the Supreme Court, insisted that there's a "silent majority" that still opposes marriage equality. They'll speak up; just give them time.
The last stage of coping set aside the skepticism entirely and fixated on a fact-free assertion: young people really are on our side. "They are perpetually telling you in the media that young people are supporting same-sex marriage," Brown said at one point. "I'm gonna tell you something: That is not true." Never mind that the Pew study last week found that 70 percent of adults born after 1981 support marriage equality. Brown had something more powerful than a scientific survey: an anecdote. That is, a child: Grace Evans, an 11-year-old from Minnesota who became the next great hope of the anti-equality movement earlier this month when she testified before the Minnesota legislature in opposition to same-sex marriage. Evans, after explaining why her parents were awesome, posed a question to the lawmakers: "Which parent do I not need—my mom or my dad?"
On Tuesday, Brown showed a two-minute video of Evans' testimony on the big screen. When the audience had settled down, he got to the point: "The next time someone tries to intimidate you or they call you a name because you oppose gay marriage, think about that 11 year-old girl."
Just try not to think of all the others.
—By Tim Murphy and Dana Liebelson
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of California's ban on same-sex marriage. On Wednesday, the court will hear oral arguments on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, which for the last 17 years has prohibited the federal government from recognizing same-sex couples. With new polls showing a significant majority of Americans endorse marriage equality—and three new Senators announcing their support in the last week—it's tough to shake the sense that attitudes about the once-polarizing issue have shifted irreversibly. Even RNC chairman Reince Priebus now suggests that support for marriage equality may no longer be a deal-breaker for conservatives.
Over the last three years, dozens of politicians have, to use the phrase du jour, "evolved" on marriage equality, starting with a trickle of mostly progressive politicians and culminating in recent months with mainstream figures in both parties calling for an end to the marriage wars. (Maybe it was all that sushi.) Here's a look at how it went down:
Update: The article original stated that Gov. Chafee came out in support of gay marriage in 2009. It has been updated with new information.

So, its 2 in the morning and I just got back from Stagecoach and what a day!!! So much to see, so much to do, so many artists to hear!
Let's start with a cool thing to do, the CMT Duet booth. This is basically a place where you and a friend can go into a mini "recording studio" and sing a song and get a free CD of it. Some good, and some well not so good.
Now let's talk artists. Topping off the night in the smaller stages, Craig Morgan and the one and only Glen Campbell. I took in booth of these shows and they were great. I have seen Craig a time or two, but this was my first time to see Glen and all I have to say is WOW! Even in my youth of 24 years, I can still appreciate what he brings to the table. And Craig Morgan, an energetic show as usual.
Cool about this weekend is the VIP passes that I have! So with the VIP wristband I get some special access. More food choices, a room that is air conditoned (which I'm sure will come in handy on Saturday and Sunday), and lots of bathrooms with no wait. Nice to have that.
Trisha Yearwood and John Fogerty rocked as usual. But the crowd came apart at the seams as The Eagles took the stage. They started their set with, surprisingly, How Long and then followed that up with Busy Bein Fabulous. And just a song later, rocked the house with Hotel California. From there they continued hit after hit. They closed the show with a classic, Desperado.
It's time for me to get into bed. Gotta get some sleep, got another 2 hour drive back to Stagecoach in the morning! Enjoy!

Your example made me smile (in an ironic way). When we first moved into our current house, after expecting to find hardwood under the carpets, we found hideous faux-wood vinyl glued to the beautiful old fir floors with some hideous thick black adhesive. If you already have wood floors, why on earth would you cover it up with ugly, fake wood-effect vinyl tiles?? We had to scrape up the black adhesive by hand with a chemical stripper before the floor refinisher would sand them. It took us a solid couple of weeks on our hands and knees scraping that nasty stuff up. Our hands still hurt when we look at the photos all these years later. But it was worth it!

The doorknobs are phenomenal, but a big part of why they work is the contrast of scale with the larger metal disks (where do people find such cool stuff?? At our local salvage yard, the door knobs would still cost a fortune even when broken, and I've never seen anything like the metal disks). Outdoor DIY: Surprising Salvaged Transformations Sunset |
I love that you gave thought to the view from the inside out to the garden, so it can be enjoyed even when the weather doesn't allow you to be outside. It's a beautiful and unique space, and so enjoyable to see the imprint of the gardener (as opposed to many generic spaces that could be anywhere). This is what a garden should be!

A couple years ago a friend mentioned that her daughter had a case of intestinal worms after working in their veg garden without gloves. Her doctor told her that soil can be infected with organisms from animals using the garden as a litter box, and those organisms can pass through the skin to give you intestinal parasites.

I used to bring my pillow with me, until I became aware of the bedbug problem.

Tips for Feeling at Home in a Hotel |
I used to have a kitchen with a drawer just the perfect height to hold spice jars - I labeled the lids and it was super quick and easy to find just what I wanted and kept the spices out of the sun. The drawer was wider than I needed for herbs and spices, so I fitted it with a divider to make room for towels, foil, etc. 10 Practical Ideas for Better Spice Storage |
@mediocrates, thanks so much for all the info on how you did the corner sink cabinet - really appreciate it! Before & After Remodel: Keeping the Best of the Past |
I rather swooned when I saw you did a corner sink with Ikea cabinetry. I would love to do this exact configuration in my kitchen to take advantage of a corner window overlooking the garden, but your double sink looks wider than the width of the cabinet below (so that it overhangs the cabinet and dishwasher flanking the sink). I loathe the separated bowls of Ikea's "corner sink" option, and I'm pretty sure I'll only be able to afford Ikea cabinets (as opposed to doing something custom to give me a corner sink option). Seeing this has given me new hope! Before & After Remodel: Keeping the Best of the Past |
One thing to keep in mind if you use strategy #2, using the complementary colour of existing tiles/fixtures (the opposite colour on the wheel) is that it will make the colour of the existing fixtures look even stronger - complementary colours bring out the most in each other. So if you really hate the colour of your tile, a complementary scheme will intensify it and may make you dislike it even more. 3 Color Directions for Vintage Bathrooms |
My favourite winter shrub is Viburnam bodnatense 'Dawn'. It has lovely pink blossoms that open around December and keeps going until February/March (it stops just before the earliest spring bulbs start). When a harder frost hits, the blossoms close up to protect themselves, and when it warms up a bit, they reopen like nothing happened to them. You'll Thank Me Later: Planning For A Winter Garden |
I had a neighbour on one side (duplex so every little sound traveled through the walls) who fancied himself a musician, but was way too stoned all the time to play very well - he'd practice his electric guitar (turned all the way up) for hours every night. Only every time he made a mistake, he'd have to start again from the beginning. Hours and hours of the first 5 or 10 notes of the same song. Over. and. over. and. over. All night long. In the 2 years he lived there, I don't think he ever got through a song to the end. Get Off My Lawn: Neighbor Pet Peeves |
I think it's safest to have drainage holes (it can be tricky to know exactly how much water is enough without overdoing it and risking root rot). Instead of watering plants while they're hanging from the ceiling, I like to take the plants down and water them in the bathtub. They get enough to drink, they drain safely without ruining your floor or furniture and you can wash down the foliage to keep the dust down (they'll be healthier for that too). Hanging Planters for Stylish Homes |
iam_kayak, we once lived in a rental with no outlet in the bathroom, which was really inconvenient (I need a hairdryer in my climate). We were told by the guy at the hardware store we could replace the light switch with a combo light switch and socket box. It didn't require any fancy new wiring, just connecting the existing wiring to the new outlet/switch box, so my husband was able to install it, but I think it would be relatively inexpensive to hire an electrician or handyman with electrical knowledge to wire it. Though the location of the outlet at the doorway was a little inconvenient, it was totally worthwhile since it added so much functionality. What Drives You Crazy In Your Bathroom? Reader Survey |
e10 - it depends on how your original tiles were installed - in mortar or thinset (which is better for longevity, but harder to remove) or mastic (which is basically glue - not good in a wet environment). If your tiles were set with mortar or thinset, the tiles will be harder to remove and chances are your walls will come down with the tiles. Around a bath/shower you want to ensure you have the proper sub-strata, so you'd want to take down the walls and put up cement board anyway. Drywall or plaster under tile is just asking for trouble - if it should get wet for any reason, it will distintegrate. Cement board will stand up to the rigours of a wet environment. Subway Tile In The Bathroom |
I love Japanese anemone too - it just blooms and blooms and blooms in my garden. I've read it can be invasive in some environments but I've never had a problem with it getting out of hand (have grown it for 10 years in the PNW). A Nationwide Roundup of Garden Designers' Favorite Plants The Gardenist |
I think colours with a browny-yellow undertone would integrate the stove into the rest of the room. Something like an avocado green with accents of pale gold and brick red would be a very warm but vibrant combination. The stove wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb but would blend into a complementary palette. Paint Colors To Accent Mustard Yellow Stove? Good Questions |
Living in a construction zone for an extended period of time can really contribute to that sense of moribund inertia when it comes to daily cleaning chores, regardless of the size of the space (though with a larger space, the size of the mess can get much bigger). I find that, even after I clean a room, if things are still torn up and in disarray from the reno (or if things are just worn out awaiting the savings to build up to pay for the next reno), there's no positive reinforcement from cleaning - the place still feels like a disaster no matter how much you clean, whereas when you clean up a pristine, finished space, your surroundings look great and you really get a payoff from the cleaning that makes you want to keep up on it. On Why My Large Space Makes Me Feel Lazy |
We splurged on a Miele which does a fantastic job with cat hair, and can cope with both hardwood and area rugs, but it is not a space-saver, storage-wise, in a tight space. Because the hose sections that attach the cannister to the attachments are hard (rather than pliable hose that some cannisters have), it is tall and takes up as much storage space as the average upright. Recommend A Quality Canister Vacuum? Good Questions |
I look at the reposting of popular topics as being similar to cable tv channels that repeat the same program several times during the week - yeah it can be boring if you've already seen the episode earlier in the week, but if you missed it the first time around, you have another opportunity to catch it later.

Renesas Electronics Europe announced that it has received VDE certification for its IEC60335-compliant self-test software for the RX200 family of microcontrollers. In addition to the on-chip hardware safety features, the self-test CPU software makes it easier for manufacturers of industrial, motor control and home appliances to meet IEC60730-1 class B safety requirements. The safety standard requires software running on an MCU to be able to detect any safety critical failures according to specific fault models. The RX200 MCU family integrates on-chip key advanced peripherals like the cyclic redundancy check engine, while the analogue/digital converter includes a self-diagnosis function - to ensure plausibility checks - and a hardware clock monitoring function. Finally, the RX200 offers the unique Data Operating Circuit (DOC) module which reduces the RAM March X algorithms testing time and frees up the overall CPU load.
Renesas' self-test software has been successfully certified for its periodic test routines for CPU registers and program counter test, stack test, RAM tests (using March X & C algorithms), Flash check (using cyclic redundancy check engines) and clock monitoring tests. These routines are easy to integrate in any existing software and can be called after Reset and periodically during run-time. The software enables the developer to easily design safety relevant software and to meet certification requirements quickly and with less effort. It can reduce development time and the test harness process by up to 3 months, and the cost of certification by 15%. The software source codes in C and ASM for RX200 is now available on the Renesas website, with detailed timing of routines, application notes and the VDE certificate.

Britvic's Irish revenues decline
Revenue at Britvic's Irish operations fell by 2.8 per cent in the first quarter of the year, lagging behind growth in its UK and France operations.
But the company attributed the decline to third party products it distributes, with its own brands outperforming the market. Britvic grew its brand revenues, with average realised price rising 7.6 per cent but volume down 2.4 per cent.
That compared with data from Nielsen claiming that the Irish take-home soft drinks market declined by 7.6 per cent on a volume basis and 5 per cent in value in the last quarter.
Group revenue rose by 4.8 per cent to £303.2 million during the quarter, with GB revenue up 5.4 per cent and France growing 4.3 per cent.
"The performance in both France and Ireland has been encouraging," said chief executive Paul Moody.
In the GB unit, volume rose by 2.1 per cent, with average realised price 3.2 per cent higher.
Carbonates revenue grew by 9.2 per cent, with volumes up almost 5 per cent compared with a year earlier. Still revenue was 0.7 per cent lower as supply levels of its Fruit Shoot product were limited. Excluding the impact of that product, still revenue grew, Britvic said.
The drinks group's international revenue was 35.6 per cent higher, with ARP up 17.5 per cent and volumes rising by 15.4 per cent as Fruit Shoot was reintroduced to the Netherlands.
Meanwhile, the company has reached an agreement with PepsiCo Americas Beverages to distribute the Fruit Shoot products to 30 US states by summer, and a second agreement with PepsiCo South West Europe will see the brand distributed in Spain from early spring.
"The second quarter has started more slowly reflecting the continuing challenging economic and trading environment," Mr Moody said. "However, overall we are confident that the business is well positioned to meet these challenges."
