At Manchester airport, security screening could easeFrom Staff and Wire Reports
September 09. 2013 7:39PM
MANCHESTER — Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is one of 60 airports targeted for a streamlined procedure that will allow low-risk passengers to board flights with shoes, coats and laptops untouched, officials announced.
Both a Manchester airport official and the Transportation Security Administration said they have no firm date when the program, dubbed Pre-Check, will be expanded to include the new airports. It is already in place in 40 airports, including Logan International Airport in Boston.
However, the TSA said it will be in place in Manchester by year's end, and some expect it to be in place by early October, in time for the busy Thanksgiving travel season.
Frequent fliers of qualified airlines will be eligible for the program.
Carry-on luggage will pass through screening machines and passengers will go through metal detectors. But several of the steps that slow lines and frustrate fliers — including removing shoes, belts and laptops — will not be required.
Deputy Manchester airport Director Brian O'Neill said Manchester travelers have been asking for the program because they use it when they board planes to return to New Hampshire.
"Manchester-Boston Regional Airport's inclusion in this emerging TSA security screening program is going to improve customer service while maintaining a high level of security," said Airport Director Mark Paul Brewer.
TSA said the program fits with the goal of Administrator John S. Pistole, who wants to redirect his agency's focus toward those who appear to pose the greatest threat.
"It's our philosophy that one size doesn't fit everybody," said Joseph Salvator, the TSA's deputy assistant. "When TSA was stood up after 9/11, we treated everybody the same. We're trying to move off that model and use a risk-based approach and the intelligence we have developed over the years."
Every Pre-Check flier will be checked against the no-fly list and the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center data base when they book a flight, the TSA said.
Three airlines that use Manchester are already enrolled in the program — U.S. Airways, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. Southwest is expected to join when operationally ready.
Also later this year, the TSA plans to make Pre-Check available to any flier who fills out an application, is fingerprinted and pays an $85 fee. The expansion includes New England airports in Hartford, Conn., Rhode Island and Portland, Maine.

Food Hospital – Channel 4 on WednesdaySeptember 22, 2012 at 9:40 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 2 Comments
Someone on the NRAS blogging site mentioned that Food Hospital, a programme on Channel 4 that aims to help people tackle their medical problems through food, was featuring someone with RA this week, so I gritted my teeth and watched it.
It' not something I've ever watched before and it exceeded my expectations; however, my expectations were spectacularly low! It's a typical 'magazine programme' where each week they have three or four different featured illnesses and dietary solutions, and some other features too, and they switch from one to another and back – which meant I had to watch it all and not just the RA bit!
I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had genuine hospital-based medical practitioners involved, and pleased to see that they did in fact explain the difference between rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, and had a reasonable explanation of rheumatoid.
The lady who they were helping had very severe rheumatoid arthritis and had already had a number of joints replaced. As she couldn't exercise at all she had become quite overweight, and I did feel that they didn't make enough of the fact that this hadn't caused her arthritis and indeed that many people with RA are not at all overweight. (I am, of course, not one of them, but that's another story.) I also strongly objected to the fact that they actually said that her diet contained 'a lot of red meat and processed meats' and then showed a picture of a counter-top (if I remember rightly) piled high with cakes, muffins, fried food etc.
I was chatting to a friend about it a couple of days later and she said, 'Gosh, her normal diet looked awful!' And I pointed out that there was no reason to suppose that that was her diet (apart from the red and processed meats comment). That was just a TV ploy: let's show a pile of fattening food because we're talking about being overweight, and of course if you're overweight you obviously must scoff cakes and fried bacon the whole time.
Anyway, they put this lass on a high omega-3 anti-inflammatory diet, with the side benefit that she would also lose weight, and hey-presto she lost quite a bit of weight and in ten weeks her ESR (erythrocite sedimentation rate, anti-inflammatory marker) had gone down from 28 (well above normal) to 20 (just within the normal range). Good news indeed. Good enough that I'm going to be increasing my oily fish intake, as any penguin should!
However, what they neglected to mention on the telly, although if you check out their website they do tell you, is that although the ESR went down during that period there have been "no clinical changes yet, in pain or mobility", but that is expected as this is a long-term approach.
They also say "Beth's rheumatoid arthritis will continue to be difficult for her but with continued weight loss she should continue to see slight improvements in her condition." So again, the emphasis seems to be on the weight, encouraging people (especially ones who don't think too hard – the majority?) to see this as a cause of her rheumatoid arthritis.
And the final bit on the website that I'm dubious about is the sentence: "Beth lost weight on the diet which has helped her ESR level drop within normal range." To me the way this reads is slightly misleading. I think they meant, "Beth lost weight on the diet. The diet helped her ESR levels to drop to within the normal range." However, the way it reads suggests that weight-loss has a direct correlation with ESR reduction. I've never heard that, and I've done an internet search to look for a link between the two and can't find anything at all. As I say, I think it's just the way it's written that's misleading, rather than that they're trying to claim there is a link, but it's just another little irritation in what was, all things considered, not too bad a programme after all!

I'm sorry I missed the programme, thanks for drawing our attention to it. I'll have to see if it's up on 4OD yet. Like you, I find it very irritating that you need to work so hard to separate what they're actually saying from what they're implying, and that you know most people will now think 'rheumatoid arthritis = who ate all the pies? = their own fault'. Still, whether or not it does any good, at least the diet advocated won't do any harm. Did you see the article in the Guardian last week by Ben Goldacre called 'The Drugs Don't Work'? Seriously worrying stuff..

Developers today will be increasingly aware of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which was passed in 1998 to protect children under the age of 13 as they use the Internet.
COPPA was revised in 2012 to extend its privacy protections to mobile apps and games with specific relevance to online data collection and behavioral marketing.
Newly established company AgeCheq has announced a free multi-platform API for developers looking for a way to adhere to the U.S. government's COPPA regulations to avoid costly fines and other penalties.
AgeCheq also gives parents unparalleled visibility and control over the mobile apps and games their children use. The basic AgeCheq service is completely free for both app publishers and for parents.
AgeCheq's COPPA compliance ecosystem promises to offer programmers a "frictionless path" to make their apps and games COPPA compliant, at no cost.
"The process of validating a parent's ID, providing complete disclosures that parents can understand, and gaining parental approval for a child to play an app are completely new friction points for app and game publishers," said Roy Smith, founder and CEO of AgeCheq.
"Implemented poorly, these friction points could reduce game play and limit monetization, yet they are required elements for COPPA compliance. If each publisher were to create their own verification system, parents would quickly tire of validating their identity over and over. As we've seen already from some of the early attempts at compliance, the 'disclosures' offered by publishers vary widely from unintelligible to acceptable. The mobile app industry requires a single, simple-to-use system that manages COPPA compliance for both publishers and parents, and that is exactly what AgeCheq is."
A December 2012 FTC study on mobile apps for kids stated, "most apps fail to provide any information about the data collected through the app, let alone the type of data collected, the purpose of the collection, and who would obtain access to the data. The results (of the study) showed that many of the apps shared certain information — such as device ID, geolocation, or phone number — with third parties without disclosing that fact to parents.

This was the summer of irresponsible three-day benders.
A few times, it was 4 a.m. and we said yes to just one more episode, even though the kids would be up in a couple of hours and we knew we'd be zombies at work the next day. But we couldn't stop.
We just had to know whether "Downton Abbey's" Matthew and Mary would at last be together.
We are binge watchers. The on-demand television culture — where you no longer wait a week for the next episode, it's all just one click away — has spawned a new drug and a new addiction.
We lost days and weeks. The house looked bad. We looked bad. Hours and hours were squandered with "True Blood's" Sookie Stackhouse and "The League's" Rodney Ruxin.
(Sorry this is so late, boss. Blame Benedict Cumberbatch, the guy who stars in "Sherlock.")
We swore off it, cold turkey. Then, I'd go on a solo bender and reel my husband back in with a new show. "Weeds," I told him. "Suburban mom turned drug dealer. Awesome." And we were off again.
Summer is almost over. We'll quit in the fall, we've promised ourselves.
But what about Bill Clinton? The former president admitted that he watched the entire "House of Cards" season in three nights, series star Kevin Spacey said when he was on "Charlie Rose" recently.
Leave it to the former president to validate our addictions. Love him for that.
In the past, television, like bars, had a closing time. There was that moment, no matter how bad your insomnia was, when the relentless infomercials — Snuggies, Ginsu knives, Don Lapre — forced you to call it a night.
But with Netflix and other on-demand services, just one more click of that seductive, yellow box gives you more, more, more. The bar never closes now.
My husband and I were never big television watchers. Newspaper deadlines don't allow us to join in polite society's prime-time routines. We were too disorganized to TiVo. And we'd drive around with the rented movies in the car for a couple days, racking up late fees.
But now?
Binge watching has changed us and changed our relationship with the characters.
The other day, I swear, I grabbed my phone to text something really funny to Taystee. It was a split-second impulse before I realized that the last three days spent with Taystee were a fiction. She's a character on the Netflix series "Orange Is the New Black." She is not my friend.
Addiction blurs your reality.
A decade ago, two professors wrote an often-quoted piece in Scientific American arguing that television addiction is a form of substance abuse; your brain chemicals react when you get hooked. That was when the drug was somewhat controlled, before the dealers — Netflix, Hulu, SideReel, Amazon Prime — actually moved into your home.
What's going on today? It's like the television version of the crack epidemic.
"Yeah, well, we tend to forget that although we develop technology to make our lives easier and more comfortable, it has side effects that must be dealt with or things get out of control," said Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a psychology professor at Claremont University in California and one of the authors of that article.
When I talked to the other author, Rutgers University's Robert Kubey, about my addiction he was genuinely worried.
"I think you may be insane," said the professor of journalism and media studies. "A little meshuga."
He asked me if I binge alone on TV episodes. I told him I do occasionally, but mostly my husband and I do it together.
He tried to be optimistic about that. "It's like some people like to drink with their drinking buddies, smoke with their smoking buddies or shoot up with their heroin buddies," he said. "You have this experience in common now."
It started, as all trends do, with our young people. College kids were the pioneer binge watchers.
"There is no experience quite comparable to getting a really good show and getting the box-set seasons lined up, locking your door, filling your freezer full of microwaveable food, turning off the telephone, turning out the lights and just going crazy," said Robert Thompson, founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University, in a Washington Post story about the college trend a few years back.
But, of course, youthful trends trickle up to us oldsters, and we wear them as well as we wear low-rise jeans.
I meet my colleagues at the Starbucks near the office, and they recognize the eye bags.
" 'Lost.' Half of season three. You?" one of my fellow bingers might say.
" 'Breaking Bad.' All of season one."
And we'd drag ourselves back to the office, red-eye coffee with an extra shot of espresso in hand, swearing, vowing that we're not going to do it again.

Capt. Brucato,
My name is Birk Thomas, I saw the pictures of the tug Sassafras alongside the OSG Vision. I used to be Mate on board the Sassafras and was wondering if I could obtain copies of the pictures to send to the guys on the boat, I think they would get a kick out of them.

The jury is still out on the new BlackBerry Z10 with a touch display, and the company strenuously denies analyst claims of high return rates. But the jury on BlackBerry overall hasn't even been sent to deliberate. First they need to get good look at the Q10, the new BlackBerry 10 with a physical keyboard.
Do you want a smartphone with a hard keyboard? You're not limited to BlackBerry.
Click here to see smartphones with physical keyboards from Samsung, Motorola and others.
The company says that we are approaching the release of the Q10. It is weeks away; Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint have all announced that they will carry it.
Is *this* the BlackBerry that matters? There's no question that many users who gave up their old BlackBerrys did so reluctantly and miss the physical keyboard. Would a BlackBerry with that keyboard and a modern OS hit the spot for such users?
Click here to see an image gallery with BYTE's first impressions of the Z10, the BlackBerry with a full-size touch screen.
If you were a BlackBerry fan because of the keyboard then you face a trade-off: keyboard vs. screen size. The Z10 has a 4.2-inch display with 1280 x 768 resolution (356 ppi). The Q10 has a 3.1-inch display with 720 x 720 resolution (330 ppi). These days people want those larger screens, and the Q10 gives up a lot of screen real estate in order to get you the hard keyboard.
I know at least one long-time BlackBerry user who has decided it's not worth the screen space anymore. There are going to be a lot of people making this same decision and BlackBerry knows it. That's why it put so much effort into its soft keyboard.
At least users will finally get to make a fair decision about whether the hard keyboard is worth it. In a few weeks they will be able to go into a store and try both of them in their own hands.
By the fall it will be clear if consumers and businesses are buying into BlackBerry 10 generally and whether the hard keyboard is a hit. I'm guessing it fades away over the next few years.
Below is a short demo of the Q10.

One in a series of stories about local manufacturing.
The largest food manufacturing employer in Adair County produces a variety of bacon and ham products, drawing its pork supply from the Midwest and sending products to grocery stores, restaurants and cafeterias across the nation.
The Kirksville plant employs about 550 full-time workers and has been in operation since 1986.
The largest manufacturing employer in the county, Kraft Foods/Oscar Mayer has a regional economic impact of more than $77 million a year in payroll, taxes, utilities and purchases of local goods and services, by the company's estimate.
The Kirksville plant purchases its bacon bellies from hog farmers located within about 100 miles of the plant and then takes the raw pork and turns it into products like Oscar Mayer Butcher Thick Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon and Center Cut Bacon. And while the bacon may be locally sourced, it gets sent across the nation and beyond.
These products are distributed from Kirksville nationwide, including some from the U.S. to parts of Canada and Mexico. Kirksville-made bacon could be found in both grocery stores and at restaurants as well as larger food service outlets including schools, universities and corporate cafeterias.

Is there anyone else who wants to see Plundor in the MOTUC?
Is there anyone else who wants to see Plundor in the MOTUC?
Good Journey
A custom here
I had no idea who he was until I did a search.
I know I've seen several threads on this topic in the past, but I'm still a big Plundor supporter. Let's hope one day we get to see lots of the Filmation characters in figure form.
It would be ok to get I suppose, I wouldn't buy it because it's too ridiculous for me, especially the episode he was in. It reminded me of a bad version of He-man meets Alice in Wonderland, or He-man and the Mis-Adventures of Peter Cotton tail.
Plundor ep was hilarious, one of the highlights of early he-man and quite creative.
By far my most wanted character out of the "unrealistic/off limits" group.
I would Reeaallyy like to see Plundor if Mattel only had the rights.
Bring on the juiced up pink bunny!! I like Plundor a lot.
No offence to anyone, but NO please. I want a Plundor figure about as much as I want a widget figure.
I'd love to see this guy released with a lighter flock than Moss Man, one of his robots and a big, BIG GUN! He's like He-Man's Mr. Mxyzptlk as far as obscurity goes and we've got Paul Dini to thank for him. I say that because Dini is a Mxyzptlk fan for the SUperman TAS commentary.
I would get the re-issue Plundor.
Do. Not. Want.
He was just lame as was the episode overall.

Plundor was hilarious! And he was one evil son of a bunny! If he ever got released, I would definitely buy him.
I think my Avatar and my Signature tell everyone where I stand on this subject. BRING ON PLUNDOR THE SPOILER! and a few of his Rabbots.
The Plundor episode was created and written by none other than the great Paul Dini. The man responsible for most of the writing on another great franchise, Batman: The Animated Series.

I would get one. He would make a perfect April bonus figure.
I would buy PLundor much sooner than I would Molarr that's for sure.
Hey Super7 I'm looking forward to what you do for Classics and I'm awaiting these figures!

Well, he's too cute to be a villain. Better off as Orko's sidekick. Really can't take him to be serious enough. But, I'd probably give in and buy him if they decided to produce him.
Don't hate me cause ... (I'm Da Man)!

"200X" Plundor could be awesome as demonstrated by that custom. Classic Plundor would be lame as all hel.
The MOTUC line without Plundor is like Christmas without Santa! Come on Mattel, the greatest villian shall live again!!!

I'd love to do that, and if I were still working the day job and had money coming in, I would, but right now, I gotta focus on paying work, and keeping it rolling, or I'm not gonna have a shop for the tools to live in.Originally Posted by VeeWee
That's just how it is. It sucks, I know, but I'm not gonna lie to you guys and tell you I'll get to them shortly, because I won't be able to.
If I can get a leg up long enough to do them without causing any trouble, and it appears in a time table not too far removed from delivery of the guns to you guys, I'll do them and send them along, but I'm not going to hold the project up waiting on them, because the wait could be very long.
I'd rather actually deliver 95% of what I promised, rather than make you guys continue to wait for perfection.
Like my old man told me when I was learning to fish, "Sometimes, you just gotta know when you cut the line and move on."
We're at that point with this project.
Better that you all get functional and beautiful markers that are somewhat heavier than advertised right now, instead of making more promises and extending the due date again (and again, and again, and again).
I've learned my lesson on this one, and now that we're within striking distance of the finish line, I'm not altering course any more than absolutely necessary.
I hope you guys will understand.
You all have been the best customers in the entirety of paintball (and I mean that literally) about this whole project, and I'd very much like for you to come out of it not feeling like the wait was totally wasted (like the Devilmag and GForce guys have).
I was shooting for perfection, but circumstances are closing in around me in such a manner that if I can finish this deal soon at 95%, I'd better do it, 'cause it may be the last window to do so that I get.

Spreading a message that dominated the opening day of this year's Western Conservative Summit, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker called Friday night for more optimism and broader outreach.
Walker, a Republican who garnered national attention during his state's fight over collective bargaining and his successful defeat of a recall effort, headlined the summit's first evening.
Walker said conservatives must do three things to produce an effective message: be optimistic, use relevant terms and go to where the voters are, instead of waiting for the people to come to them.
"The more they hear our message, the more it becomes their message," Walker said.
That message, Walker said, is one of self-reliance and reform from the state level.
Mayor Mia Love of Saratoga Springs, Utah, followed Walker and echoed his sentiment.
"I've often said, 'It's us, the people on the ground level, that are going to raise this nation — not Washington,' " she said.
Citing lessons from her childhood, Love said people need to learn to be independent from the government and work at a grassroots level to bring about change.
"We need to have the courage to tell people our stories, all of its downfalls and all of its successes," Love said. "Because I can tell you right now, the liberals are out there and they're telling their message."
More than 1,700 people filled the downtown Denver Hyatt Regency's 30,000-square-foot conference room.
About 2,000 people are expected to attend the summit throughout the weekend, according to event organizers.
The Centennial Institute and Colorado Christian University are hosting this year's summit, the fourth of its kind.
Former U.S. Sen. Bill Armstrong, president of Colorado Christian University, opened the summit by paraphrasing Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.
"Let me just say: Caution, you are about to enter the low-tax zone. You are about to enter the smaller-government zone. You are about to enter the repeal-Obamacare zone. You are about to enter the human-freedom zone," Armstrong said.
Centennial Institute director John Andrews said that while the summit will mostly attract far-right conservatives, part of the event's purpose is to bring more people into the conservative fold.
"I think the Republican Party has the right vision and the right message. It needs to sharpen that message and deliver it to a more inclusive audience of Americans," Andrews said in an earlier interview.
Andrews said the GOP needs to work on attracting a more diverse base of voters, such as those who are younger.
The three-day conference includes numerous workshops meant to train people in how to effectively deliver a conservative message.
Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is slated to speak midday Saturday, followed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg in the evening.
Former Florida U.S. Rep. Allen West will close the conference Sunday.

Lmao! You're so right! I unfortunately watched an esp of her reality show where she went to see some voice coach, and she said the voice coach told her she sounds like Tracy Chapman#dead# I felt insulted on Tracy chapman's behalf,I'm sorry, she shld stick to acting, she can't sing period! Her reality show sucks too! These celebs need to hear/read the truth not lies...Delete
ok,i hear you continued deceiving her,i sha hope you will buy it when it comes out then we ll see how dedicated a fan you really are
@ladun's biggest fanDelete
calling him grammy nominated won't hit the soundbites,she and her people know what nigerians like to hear and who will really bother checking anyway
that is the main issue i have with the lady…she is constantly encased in a cloud of delusions of grandeur constantly 24/7 if genevieve who has more star power and brand appeal was not able to push her atrocious single down her fan's throats how will omotola with her flat,off key voice sounding like a cat being slashed with a blade do the impossible? the good thing out of all this is that trust nigerians as big as it is they will just switch off and the market will tell her the truth her people have refuse to…look at 9ice who would have believed his career could go on an hiatus

Omotola we all know where your talent lies. Please stick to acting. If you are bored,work on developing the nollywood industry. All these side distractions with music cannot pay off cos ur talent isn't in singing. Please this is not hating, we just need to be honest with these our stars. Mediocrity is what is killing naija.ReplyDelete

Is that saliva in the sides of her mouth? I wonder what time this woman has for her family. Omotola I know u want to believe you can do it all but sweetheart u can't. On ur show yesterday u said your voice is similar to Tracy Chapman's! you're obviously one deluded woman.ReplyDelete
I'm so tired of this woman. Go away Omotola. Go away. Go away oooooo. So desperate for any kind of attention. From tight clothes to a dead show to forever being in our faces. Go away.

Morons like u called her a bad actor,but she does not depend on u to feed. Plus she puts food on ur table u fool.
She decides to do music,fools like ur broke ass r trying to ruin her reputation using all sorts of fear tactics to stop her! Unfortunately for u,u r d reason she makes lots of money!

You couldn't even spell well, cuz of the anger pouring outta ur system...its arm chair, not arm charm, rmeDelete
you reckon?Delete
there is a massive difference between jayz,kanye west and omotola….since its obvious that you have access to a computer google their story and how they started they had real,raw unbridled talent single mindedness bordering on obsessive and they kept at it for years honing their talents omotola has absolutely none!
i have an undergrad and a masters degree so i am better than tonto dike educationally..
i work hard and dont rely on handouts and money on the bedside table from series of partners to put food on my table and to achieve my objectives
i am actually good at the stuffs that i am and i have the good sense not to deceive myself that i want to be what i dont have the talent for
i am not coarse,local,with an abrasive personality and atrocious fashion sense
i am not as rich as she is but i am sure getting there and when i do i won't be judged by the moral standards that she is being judged
i could go on and on if you want

Professional Translator
Silvia Pannone (April 1964) has worked as a chief secretary for 18 years, where translations were part of her daily routine. In 1997 she moved from Italy to the Netherlands to study psychological astrology at a professional institute, where she graduated in 2000. As she deeply appreciated Liz Greene's astrological approach and vast knowledge, she decided, in the same year, to go for the core and began a three-year course at the Centre of Psychological Astrology in London. In 2003 she moved for a year to Bath to study for the Master's Degree in "Cultural Astronomy and Astrology"; she graduated in 2004 with distinction.

After graduating in Translation and Interpretation I specialized in
Technical-Scientific Translation, English and Spanish languages. I?ve always

deserves. I?m trying to develop my knowledge through Italian and foreign books
and web sites. I?m especially into karmic and predictive astrology. I?ve
recently realized I could combine my linguistic studies with my passion for
astrology, contributing in such way not only to the spread of astrological
issues but also to my spiritual and human growth.

Literatures with a specialization in English and Russian languages. Since
she was a child

and astrology and this is the reason why she has been working with some astrological
esoteric web sites for some years as a writer or as a translator. Two of
them are www.specchiomagico.net and

to blend her deep love for astrology and esotericism with the enlightening
course of humanistic and linguistic studies by which she has learned to enrich
a spiritual and professional trip around the world. As
a passionate explorer of human soul, she does not believe in coincidences
and considers astrology as a useful tool to cast light on personal affairs
interpersonal relations.

Polls Show Calif., R.I. Support of Gay Marriage at 60 Percent
A record 61 percent of Californians now approve of allowing same-sex couples to marry, according to a poll released Thursday.
The Field Poll found 78 percent support among people 39 and younger and a solid majority of middle-aged residents now back gay marriage - 56 percent. Even among senior citizens there is 48 percent support, compared with 42 percent against.
The overall results represent a reversal in views about the issue in the 36 years the Field Poll has been taking surveys on gay marriage. In 1977, when the first survey was conducted, only 28 percent approved of gay marriage, while 59 percent were opposed.
The most recent survey found broad-based support, with the majority of most subgroups within the survey - men and women, all racial and ethnic groups, and each major region of the state - saying they favor gay marriage.
Ninety percent of people who described themselves as liberal said they approved of allowing gay couples to wed. The survey found 53 of Republicans were opposed, while 39 percent approved. Just 25 percent of those who said they were conservative favored gay marriage.
The survey results come as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on gay marriage. The justices will consider whether California's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Twenty-nine other states have constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, while nine states and the District of Columbia recognize same-sex marriage.
The Field Poll of 834 registered California voters was conducted Feb. 5-17. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
60 Percent of Rhode Islanders Approve Gay Marriage
A Brown University poll finds 60 percent of those surveyed support legalizing gay marriage in Rhode Island.
The poll released Thursday finds that 26 percent of people asked oppose legalizing same-sex marriage. The remainder either didn't give an answer, said they didn't know, or it depends.
The poll conducted Feb. 21-23 surveyed a random sample of 593 registered Rhode Island voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Rhode Island is the only New England state where gay marriage is not legal.
The House of Representatives has passed legislation that would allow it. The bill is awaiting consideration in the Senate, where Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed opposes it.

Julie Hoffmann grabbed a gold medal in the women's compound division and Grace Kim won the women's recurve division.
The Lions dominated the recurve division placing five archers in the top 10, including all of the top four spots. Jennifer Zhu walked away with the silver medal, Tiffany Kim took the bronze medal, Sarah Bernstein placed fourth and Sara Lavenhar finished eighth respectively. The recurve team also took home the gold beating out James Madison.
Five members of the Columbia archery team were also named to the All-East Team for the 2013 season. Hoffman earned a spot on the All-East team in compound, while Tiffany Kim, Grace Kim, Bernstein and Lavenhar received All-East honors for women's recurve.
The All-East team is decided by an archer's combined scores from three of four major tournaments throughout the season: US Indoor National East Regional, Adam Wheatcroft Invitational, the Nanook of the North, and the Eastern Regional Intercollegiate Archery Championships (ERIAC).
Before heading to Williamsport, Pa., Columbia competed in the New England Collegiate Archery Tournament (NECAT) from April 12-14. In Storrs, Conn., the Lions continued with solid performances in the women's recurve.
Bernstein led the Lions dominance in the recurve with a first-place finish in the olympic rounds. Columbia swept the top four with Tiffany Kim (2nd), Grace Kim (3rd) and Zhu (4th).
In the compound division, Hoffman placed third with a score of 616 and Quien took fifth place at 521.
Up next, the Lions will cap the season with the USCA National Championships, which will take place Thursday, May 16 through Sunday, May 19 in Cedar City, Utah.

Authorities are trying to piece together the circumstances that led to Tony Rodriguez Jr. being found dead in a canal.
Authorities are trying to piece together the circumstances that led to Tony Rodriguez Jr. being found dead in a canal.
The 23-year-old Thibodaux resident was found Wednesday by fishermen in the Rocky Canal off Myles Road in Iberville Parish.
"Everything is still on the table," said Assumption Parish Sheriff Mike Waguespack. "This could be anywhere from a drug deal gone bad" to the circumstances another man reported.
Authorities said about 8 p.m. Tuesday, a man they will not identify called to report Rodriguez had been shot.
The man claimed he was driving with Rodriguez along La. 998 in Belle Rose when two men brandishing guns stepped in front of their car. The armed men Rodriguez and his companion to an abandoned house where they tried to rob them, he said.
At that point, the man claims a fight broke out and Rodriguez was shot. The man said he was able to escape to a nearby business where he called police.
When deputies arrived at the abandoned building, it was on fire and Rodriguez was nowhere to be found.
His body was found partially submerged in the canal about 10 miles away with a gunshot wound to the chest, Waguespack said. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday at the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office.
No suspects have been named, and no arrests have been made.
"We have a lot of piecing together on this," Waguespack said.
Waguespack said he couldn't comment on any other aspects of the case because it is "too early" in the investigation.
Court documents indicate Rodriguez was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana in 2010. He also had bench warrants tied to that charge.
Waguespack is asking anyone with information to contact the Detectives Division at 526-1627 or the Communication Division at 369-2912. Callers can remain anonymous.

"I was reading about vim the other day and found out why it used hjkl keys as arrow keys. When Bill Joy created the vi text editor he used the ADM-3A terminal, which had the arrows on hjkl keys, so naturally he reused the same keys." As interesting as that is, John Graham-Cumming goes even further back in history. "The reason that keyboard had those arrows keys on it was because those keys correspond to CTRL-H, J, K, L and the CTRL key back then worked by killing bit 6 (and bit 5) of the characters being typed." Truly fascinating stuff, even though it's from way before my time (I'm from 1984).

from arrowhead pride:
Peyton Hillis only has 16 yards rushing. After the game the media is ushered down to the locker room. We wait right outside the locker room door until Romeo Crennel addresses the team and the media can enter. Before Romoe came out, Peyton Hillis was seen walking out of the locker room. It was probably the fastest I've ever seen a player get changed and exit. I'm not sure what happened there but he probably wasn't happy with his seven-carry, 16-yard performance.

Organizers are gearing up for a benefit for a young child who is in the Freeman NICU in Joplin.
Organizers are gearing up for a benefit for a young child who is in the Freeman NICU in Joplin.
The benefit is for Kayden W. Cook and will be held from 1-5 p.m. Saturday, at the Neosho VFW Post 4142 on Waldo Hatler Dr. The event is open to the public.
"He was born at 26 weeks, weighed 2 lbs. 3 oz. when he was born," said Jo Bohannan, organizer of the event. "He is now up to 3 lbs. 7 oz., he is doing pretty good. He still has a long ways to go, but everything is looking pretty good right now, the hole in his heart has closed up. He will probably be in there until April."
The benefit will include a silent auction, bake auction, a 50/50 drawing and will be serving lunch. Lunch will consist of chili, chili dogs, hot dogs and potato soup, for a cost.
Kayden's parents are John and Kayla Cook, who also had a fire at their home recently.
"They had a house fire on Feb. 10, they didn't lose everything, but they lost all of the baby stuff," she said. "Of course because of smoke, so with Kayden being the way that he is, they won't be able to use any of that. And they also lost a twin-size bed that they had for John's son. They did find another house and they just got moved in it this weekend. But they are still needing baby stuff and stuff for the other little boy."
Bohannan said she wanted to do something to help the family because she knows them.
"John was at my house a lot when he was a kid growing up," she said. "And it was just like, I ran into him on and off through the years. But I ran into him [when] they were pregnant and I ran into him a couple of months later, he told me they had the baby and what was going on. It was just like it was fate, it was meant to be. They come over here going over stuff for the benefit. They are a very appreciative couple. John is a good kid."
The items for the silent auction include, but are not limited to, gift certificates to restaurants, gift certificates to beauty salons, oil changes and other items.
Bohannan said there is still time to donate items for this event.
"I am very pleased with our community, because it helps, it stands behind our local people and the businesses have been very, very good," she said.
The money raised through this benefit will help the family with medical expenses that are not covered. According to Bohannan, it also "will help them to basically get into this house and will also be used for gas going back and forth to the hospital and to help replace Kayden's clothes of course and anything else that Kayden needs."
She added the family is coping so far.
"Their faith in God is what has got them this far," Bohannon said. "And the thing that got me the most was, they had a plaque over the baby's room, a long piece of board and John showed it to me and on the back of it, it was just charred black. But on the front, it wasn't touched and it said, 'When times get hard, kneel and pray.' That was just amazing to me and like he said, wherever they will go, that plaque is going with them."
For more information, please call Bohannan at 455-0658.

The trustee overseeing Casey Anthony's bankruptcy case has filed a motion to sell the rights to her story so she can pay her debts.
In a motion filed Monday in federal court in Tampa, trustee Stephen Meininger asked Judge K. Rodney May for permission to sell the "exclusive worldwide rights" of Anthony's life story.
Anthony, who is now 26, was acquitted of murder in the death her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Anthony has never told her side of the story, despite intense media scrutiny of the case.
During a meeting with creditors in her bankruptcy case in Tampa on March 4, Anthony said she was unemployed and hasn't received any money to tell her story.
A call to David Schrader, Anthony's bankruptcy attorney, was not immediately returned.

Clearly in a world where tanks get hit more often, they would either need to be hit for less or get a lot more health. Traditionally tanks have had about twice as much health as their DPS counterparts after buffing. Sometimes it goes a bit higher, but usually not much. This is by design; this way heals for a tank can also heal non-tanks when they take raid damage without having some huge gulfs, and the heals are going to be (mostly) similarly effective. In other words, it's okay to do about 1/5th of the health in damage to a tank and also do 1/3rd of the possible health in damage to a DPS, since these are both around the same amount of damage.
So there are ramifications for tanks having significantly more health than they do now. But if you don't give the tanks more health, what do you do?
One option is to tone down the damage dealt to the tanks, as I mentioned previously. The problem with this is that the heals are still for the same amount. When a healer can heal for about 1/5th of the total health a tank has in basically one GCD, it's not particularly scary if that tank gets hit for 1/5th of their total health every GCD. That means one healer can basically keep up with the damage on a tank, and that's pretty boring from a healing perspective.
So if toning down the damage doesn't work, we'd have to up the stamina, right? Nope. The other option is to tone down the damage and tone down the healing done. If all heals did, say, half the healing they do now, tanks could still take less damage but would still require quite a bit of healing.
So let's go with that. We'll have healers healing for half as much (the Sunwell radiance aura part 2: mortal strike aura), tanks being hit for half as much, and tanks avoiding half as often as they did before. Now, it takes on average 8 hits to kill a tank. It also takes on average 10 GCDs worth of heals to heal a tank fully.
Is that fun? Maybe.
Is that scary? Does the tank run the risk of dying? I think so, yes. Why? Because healers aren't going to be able to catch up instantaneously in this system. They don't have to keep their tank topped off at all times, but they will need to keep heals going on them quite often. And while a GCD costs less than it did before, it still is pretty expensive. At the same time, you have the very real ability for some tank healers to actually heal big, efficient heals and spend some time doing it. It's no longer their most efficient heal that's quick.
But there's still a lack of risk, and there's no real reward for doing the 'right' heal. Which means we need one more variable: nerfing mana regen for healers. This really should be done; there needs to be a very concrete penalty between the healers that can manage their resources for a fight and the ones that can't. This is a dividing line, just like tanks and threat/mitigation is, and just like DPS and mobility is. It's not any more, but it should be. The benchmark for hard fights is that healers should basically be OOM at the very end of any fight, and if they messed up they'll be OOM earlier. This makes one GCD less important, but the overall performance of a fight moreso.
My wife brought up an interesting point as part of this - what the current healing model solves. Currently for tank healing the model is really simple: you assign 2 or more healers to heal the tank, and they all just spam heals on that tank in the most efficient, reasonable way they can. There's rarely coordination. There's little to no actual communication. It's just heal, heal, heal. In addition, the raid healers tend to throw heals on the tank too whenever they can - a hot, a pom, whatever. In addition to that, the tank healers do the same thing on the raid when they can.
Which means two things: coordination of healers is at a fairly big low, and (this is the important thing) healing can be made puggable. I hadn't realized this, but it's fairly true. In an environment where people are encouraged to spam heal the hell out of something, it doesn't matter if you have good communication and teamwork and rhythm. You just spam away. And because (for worse) healing is measured often by effective healing and meters, a lot of the time you're rewarded for this behavior.
So if the above things go in (and a bit more), you won't be able to spam heal; it's just not efficient enough. You won't be able to snipe other heals as well; you'll need to stick to your assignment, they'll need to stick to theirs, and you'll need to coordinate. But...that means that pug healers will be pretty disadvantaged. And that's true, but I think that's okay. That also likely makes me an elitist jerk, but so be it.
Let's first go to Shamad's comments:
You're getting into a world of chain reactions if you want to touch the current chances of tanks being 2shotted...lowering avoidance doesn't effect healing, other than to reduce overhealing(currently for paladins in the range of 70%). Now if you want to soften the blows from this, you've eliminated tank deaths completely and trivialized the content....Now you might reduce the amount tankhealers heal for. Except then they become redundant and you'd just have raidhealers heal everything. Unless you change how much raidhealers heal for. And now we're back to damage not being able to kill. And the content is trivialized.These are all good points (and he raised others that are good), but I think that this model can work. Why? At the very least, because this was essentially the model used in TBC. We had less avoidance at the start, and we had less damage intake coming in, and the heals that healers had were less as a percentage of the tank's health. Tank death was very real and very scary (especially with parry haste being a bigger deal, and especially with crushes existing). Very rarely did two damaging hits kill someone; at worst, it was something like Bloodboil, where multiple bloodboils damaging people killed people eventually as healers scrambled to heal too many people at once. Or a tank simply taking too much damage and the big heals not landing quite in time. Death was quite real - but a lot of times death was caused because a healer ran OOM or didn't get off a heal in time. That's a very different feel than 'people died because I didn't spam enough' . Basically, I think that right now the model is 'heal quickly or die'. I think the model can move to 'heal now and later or accumulated damage will put you too much in the hole and you'll die'.
Seleria commented as well, and I appreciate it:
Yeah, that's one of the big problems with the idea - that if you up stamina on tanks, does every tank class automatically become insane? Do Death Knights now become ridiculous beasts with a tank/pvp merge? Do ferals? Do warriors? I think that's a serious concern. I also think that the big problem is that you need all healers to be able to heal both raid and tanks as needed, and if you have the tools too different from each other, it won't really work out. If flash heal can't do both raid healing and tank healing, it makes it harder for a holy priest to tank heal if they're the ones assigned. If HoTs are best on tank healing, doesn't that make them insanely good on raid healing? Like I said above - tank health and raid health have to be within a reasonable percentage of each other, or the healing just gets too odd and bifurcated.
That being said... Patchwerk remains one of my most exciting bosses to heal. Maybe I'm crazy, but I spend Patchwerk spamming my heart out on my healing assignment (an OT most of the time). There's no moving around in the fight, there's no guesswork as to who in the raid is going to take damage. It's a pretty boring healing assignment, but it's one of my favorite fights to heal.
What Blizz, however, has taken from "healing is boring"... is "let's send damage everywhere! Woohoo!" There's more raid healing than ever. Let's say you have 7 healers (that's what we run in Ulduar) 4-5 of ours are generally on raid and 2-3 on tanks depending on the fight obviously.
So with your suggestions I guess the end result as far as I can tell is "have tanks take more consistent but weaker hits." Which as you said... means there's less healing that HAS to be done. So you propose that healing gets weaker/regen gets weaker to correspond with these weaker hits... but the raid damage hasn't changed in your scenario. Sure, the tanks can avoid magic damage, but that doesn't do anything for the 22 other people in the raid....
On the other hand--what if you kept the damage the bosses are doing now the same, kept healers the same, but increased the health of the tanks. Keeping your block solution idea, you'd still not be running into "2 hits and you're done," but healing doesn't have to be completely screwed around with that way. Then you run into the pvp issue. No mage wants a prot warrior to wander into a BG and have 3-4 times the amount of health they do.
So basically, I'd argue that all damage would need to be nerfed, all healing would be nerfed, and all regen would be nerfed. That's how big a change this would be.
I wanted to bring this one up specifically:
So I guess the dilemma I see is keeping average health values around the same as they are now (let's say tanks with 40k health) and they're taking less damage overall, that starts to make tank damage on the same order as raid damage so healing classes that are better suited to raid heal are suddenly the only class you want to have around--and homogenizing the healing classes even further probably wouldn't be a really good idea.That's a reasonable argument even if you do nerf all healing. However, I think that the tank healers would still have some quality in there. For starters, the big, slow heals can be used - and they're a lot more efficient than the raidwide heals tend to be. They're not good for speed or throughput, but for mana efficiency they're awesome. And in a world where healers can go OoM easily, that's where the tank healing niche will shine, I think - in being the efficient healer. Sure, the raid healer can heal the tank, but they'll go OoM a lot faster.
I guess in my world the raid healer would spend a decent amount of time Oo5R, and the tank healer wouldn't. And that's how you'd separate out the two.
Finally, Yi brought up the elephant in the room (and this goes for healing as well):
Tanking diversity is fun because it makes you shine in certain situations. I would argue that the classes are balanced enough as it is; any class can tank any fight in Ulduar if they choose(how painful it is on the healers is another matter altogether--but then again, weren't they complaining about being bored). But certain classes will stand out, like warriors on the screaming mimi or bears on Ignis. Further homogenization, I fear, would come at the expense of non-standard tank class popularity and the "gasp" factor when you do some amazing, class-specific thing.I really, truly agree. I think that class/spec homogenization really is starting to hurt things, and having more things like this will only be worse. I like the idea of block tanks trading block for avoidance, I like the idea that tank damage is less per hit than it is now, but I also long for the days that you wanted specifically a druid to tank a certain boss, or a paladin for another - because of their specific, unique mechanics. I kind of miss paladins rolling on specific odd pieces of gear and not wanting that tanking weapon because it had no spellpower. I miss druids and their big armor and that being an advantage. If "flavor" of a class really just means how it looks when it does things but all capabilities are the same, why really have that flavor?
I've suggested several times ways that Blizzard can retain tank balance while giving tank niches, but I don't think they'll do this until a large chunk of their populace express dissatisfaction in it. I've thought that healers should have a similar set of niches, and they're closer to it - but even then, they're becoming more and more homogenized. Really, above all I want them to force tanking niches as part of raiding; that you must cover certain tanking niches in 25-man or you will have a detrimental raid. This is fine for DPS and healing; why not tanking? But time will tell, I suppose.

Severe weather and emergency management have long fascinated University of Alabama student John Fleischauer. After a deployment to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the 19-year-old began his emergency management degree this spring through UA's New College.
Severe weather and emergency management have long fascinated University of Alabama student John Fleischauer. But the possibility his boyhood interest could be a career didn't sink in until he began volunteering with the West Alabama Chapter of the American Red Cross.
"I just got to the point I realized I enjoyed what I was doing," Fleischauer said. "I realized emergency management was pretty clearly the direction I want to go career-wise."
Fleischauer said he is interested in the possibility of working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, another government agency or on the national or regional level with the Red Cross.
Fleischauer can't pinpoint when his interest in emergency management began, but he said his parents trace it to a sixth-grade project on weather. He said he began volunteering with the Red Cross after seeing a display table in the Ferguson Center on campus.
The Decatur native, who serves as the volunteer coordinator for the Red Cross chapter, said the realization sunk in as he assisted with disaster-response efforts and became aware of the training and educational opportunities available through the Red Cross and government agencies such as FEMA.
After a delay caused by a deployment to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the 19-year-old began his emergency management degree this spring through UA's New College, where students have an opportunity to build their own curriculum as part of an individualized and interdisciplinary education program.
Fleischauer traded a defined degree track in management information systems for a college path he would have to help define. Emergency management is not a traditional major offered at UA, according to Fleischauer.
Currently, Fleischauer said, he is working on a broad overview of emergency management, but has interests in specific topics such as communications and mass-care issues like sheltering and feeding disaster victims. Fleischauer is able to pursue some of the topics through courses on campus, while others are explored through independent study and other opportunities such as distant learning or online programs.
New College academic adviser Margaret Purcell said Fleischauer crafted an independent study that includes FEMA courses, certification with the Alabama Association of Emergency Managers, and work with UA campus staff on projects such as planning emergency exercises.
Purcell said Fleischauer is self-motivated with a consistent vision of what he wants to accomplish, noting his extracurricular work with the Red Cross. Fleischauer was among volunteers at the West Alabama chapter who were recently recognized during an awards ceremony.
Self-motivation is a characteristic Purcell said New College students require to be successful. The college had a total of 781 students pursuing majors or minors last year.
"If you are designing your own degree, you really have to jump in and drive the cart. If you don't have that self-motivation, you can really get lost," she said.
