Treat yourself to a collection of Sugar Bowl tidbits
Treat yourself to a collection of Sugar Bowl tidbits
Louisville linebacker Preston Brown vs. Florida running back Mike Gillislee
Brown has been a solid performer all season for the Cardinals and led the team in tackles. Florida is going to try to establish the running game the way it did all season and Brown has to keep Gillislee from breaking runs to the second level.
Gillislee became the first running back in eight years at Florida to rush for more than 1,000 yards and the Gators are not shy about pounding him into the middle. He suffered a rib injury late in the FSU game, but is ready to go Wednesday night.
"They play with a lot of confidence," said Louisville defensive coordinator Vance Bedford, a former UF assistant under Urban Meyer. "Gillislee is playing lights out. He's playing extremely well. So we're very concerned about that running game."
Brown isn't the only player who will be trying to tackle Gillislee, but the defensive system run by the Cardinals is based on freeing him up to make plays.
The five Florida bowl records that are the least likely to be broken:
1. Fewest passes completed — Three, vs. Maryland in the 1975 Gator Bowl. On a rainy night, the Gators' wishbone offense was shut out.
2. Most yards of total offense by an opponent — 629, vs. Nebraska in 1996 Fiesta Bowl. And 524 of those yards came on the ground on an ugly night for the Gators.
3. Completion percentage — 88.6, vs. Cincinnati in 2010 Sugar Bowl. Tim Tebow set a record for BCS bowl games in his final game at UF.
4. Most passes attempted — 58, vs. Notre Dame in the 1992 Sugar Bowl. Steve Spurrier abandoned the running game, especially when the Irish took control in the fourth quarter.
5. Most yards for both teams — 1,019. vs. Maryland in 2002 Orange Bowl. Florida accounted for 659 of those yards in throttling the ACC champions.
1996 — Florida 52, FSU 20
So how many of you out there have this score as your password for something? The Gators won their first national title in the sweetest way imaginable by beating their rivals soundly in New Orleans.
The Seminoles, who had beaten Florida at the end of the regular season, hit a big pass play on the first play of the game, but Florida stopped a fourth-and-1 run by Pooh Bear Williams to set the tone.
Still, UF led only 24-17 at the half and 24-20 early in the third quarter before blowing the game open.
Danny Wuerffel threaded the needle on an 8-yard touchdown pass to Ike Hilliard for the first of four straight touchdowns for the Gators, then scrambled for 26 yards and another score. Terry Jackson put the exclamation point on the night with a clinching 42-yard touchdown run and added a 1-yard score later after an FSU interception.
A month after Spurrier complained about FSU's late hits on Wuerffel the teams combined for 217 yards in penalties.
Key stat: Florida doubled the number of first downs for FSU 26-13. As much as this game was about Wuerffel and the offense, the Florida defense played really well.
MVP: Wuerffel.
"This is a big game for us and a lot of people aren't giving us a chance to win. We have to go out and prove that we can play with anyone."
— Calvin Pryor, Louisville safety
This will be the last game of the college careers of Florida's seniors. Each day we'll take a look at the career of one of those players.
XAVIER NIXON — The 6-foot-5 tackle has seen it all at Florida. He came to UF after the Gators won a national title in 2008 and worked his way into the starting lineup as a true freshman at South Carolina blocking for senior Tim Tebow.
He struggled as a sophomore, then had an illness during his junior season that caused him to lose so much weight he was dominated at times during the 2011 season.
But Nixon bounced back to have a strong senior season after getting back to more than 300 pounds and is a big reason why Florida is back in the Sugar Bowl.
Nixon is going to play in the Senior Bowl in Mobile and it will be interesting to see where he is drafted. He has a lot of the tools NFL teams are looking for but his up-and-down career may be an issue.

Late last week the president told reporters he would name his nominee to succeed Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court on
Monday, July 9
, shortly before leaving for Europe for meetings with NATO allies and then with Vladimir Putin. It is, to put it mildly, a
Rodeo shoulder bag Black Thomas Wylde PyAOk73Y0
that will almost surely trigger a loud and divisive confirmation fight and, assuming Republicans win it, a major change in the balance of power on the Court.
So unsurprisingly, there's already massive speculation about Trump's choice. What makes it all a bit easier than is usually the case is that the 45th president put together an
official list
of 25 SCOTUS prospects (issued last November) who have been vetted by the conservative legal activists of the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. The integrity of that list has been
extremely important
to Trump's relationship with the conservative movement and particularly with conservative Christian leaders. It is very unlikely he will even think about going beyond the list (despite Senator Susan Collins's
Aloe Sunglasses in Neon Pink and Navy Blue Acetate and Metal Mykita SgiYhkpPUc
that he expand it to include a pro-choice option, which is even less likely since it would be immediately denounced as a huge betrayal by the anti-abortion lobby that gave Trump crucial backing in 2016).
But given the vast amount of time conservatives inside and beyond the administration have had to peruse the list, and the speed with which confirmation needs to proceed if the new justice is indeed going to be approved before the next SCOTUS term begins in October, a shortlist has probably been in place for months. Trump himself has he's got somewhere between five and seven names in mind (depending on the particular moment he spoke), "including two women." Two very confidently expressed "shortlists" have come from Fox News (Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, Amul Thapar, Joan Larsen, and Raymond Kethledge) and from The Weekly Standard 's Fred Barnes (the same list without Larsen and with Thomas Hardiman).
All six of these "most mentioned" SCOTUS prospects are, of course, from the White House list of 25, which means they have been carefully pre-vetted to detect any heresy from conservative legal orthodoxy (including the belief that the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion was an abomination from a constitutional if not a moral point of view). It is a safe bet that none of them would arouse the kind of conservative backlash that, for example, met George W. Bush nominee Harriet Myers, forced to withdraw on purely political grounds before she even reached confirmation hearings. They are all relatively young by SCOTUS standards, ranging in ages from 46 (Barrett) to 53 (Kavanaugh), reflecting the conservative/Trump desire that this appointment place a stamp on the Court for decades to come. And so far as we know at this point, all six are free of the kind of personal or professional skeletons-in-the-closet that have ensnared some SCOTUS nominees in the past (including, most notably, the sexual harassment allegations that nearly brought down current Justice Clarence Thomas).Subscribe to receive weekly Gallup News alerts.

To be frank, although he's not ill or feeling particularly poorly, Charles White is hardly guaranteeing that he'll be around for Christmas a year from now.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — To be frank, although he's not ill or feeling particularly poorly, Charles White is hardly guaranteeing that he'll be around for Christmas a year from now.
It's not like he wants to go, but in August the retired physician turned 107 — older than he ever imagined he'd be.
So .
"I don't think so," he said recently, smiling wryly in his Mission Hills, Kan., home, his wits sharp, voice a bit quavering. "You know, numerically, how do you expect it? I just think — the numbers, you know."
What he can do as he approaches his 108th Christmas is to offer a couple of small gifts in the way of advice from a man who — like the many people today who are facing hard times — has seen his share of troubles and triumphs through a lifetime that began when airplanes were new, rocket ships were dreams and there were still more horses and carts on the roads than motor cars.
His advice:
"Just live life to its fullest and live it honestly," he offered. "Always do the right thing. You learn from the time you're a small child what's right and what's wrong."
When times get rough, as they are now and will be again, remember: This, too, will pass.
"I learned that from my mother."
He learned it from life, too, he said, knowing that the way his own unfurled is not something he ever planned or could have conjured.
He was born in 1905, the son of a Disciples of Christ minister, a man he remembers blowing a horn on Christmas Eve nights as a signal that boys and girls should be in bed because Santa was on his way.
He was only 8 when his father was killed in an elevator accident, leaving the family to fend for itself.
They knew want. They knew economic hardship, living through the deep rationing necessitated by World War I, witnessing the mourning of deaths in the pandemic flu of 1918.
At Westport High School in Kansas City, Mo., his boyhood pal and partner in adventure was Edgar Snow, who later gained international fame as a journalist for his work on communist China, including the book "Red Star Over China."
To White, he was "Ed." He remembered one Ed Snow adventure in 1922, a trip they took with another friend after graduating from high school.
"The three of us drove to California in an old 1917 Ford," White said. "The car was a wreck. The third boy, his parents were real strict people, and they literally went out to California and brought him home and left Edgar Snow and I penniless and wondering how to get back home."
How did they?
"Bumming trains, all the way," White remembers.
White concedes that he never really had a solid plan for his life. Whatever plan you make, the universe often has others.
"I didn't set any goals," he said. "I just wanted to make a living, and when I wasn't working, to travel."
While studying at the University of Missouri, White thought of becoming a physician only because his sister dated one. When he wasn't in medical school, he taught himself saxophone, listened to Charlie Parker play live and paid his $650-a-year medical school tuition, room and board by playing in his own jazz band. On a summer cruise ship his band toured the Orient.
As a family physician in the Great Depression, he again saw great suffering. "You traded. You bartered. Like I'd deliver a baby and be paid in groceries," he said.
At the outbreak of World War II, White was already in his middle 30s when he sought to enlist and go overseas. Instead, the U.S. Army Air Corps said he could be more useful stateside and, in time, trained him at the Mayo Clinic as an anesthesiologist.
After four years, he left the corps as a lieutenant colonel, but not before traveling to Peru with Harry Truman's physician to help in an operation on the hand of then-President Manuel Odria.
Over the years, White has honed a simple philosophy.
"Our whole life is really a summation of happiness with the occasional breaks, like a death or sickness," he said. "Your whole life structure is essentially positive. The negatives just go along with it."
He has had his own. His first marriage lasted 17 years and ended tragically when his wife took her own life after suffering what is now recognized as bipolar disorder, and for which there were essentially no treatments.
His second marriage lasted 10 months.
"We just disagreed," White said.
He was in his mid-50s when he married a third time, to a widow with three children of her own. His marriage to Madelyn Lois White lasted 38 years, until her death 17 years ago. Together they had two more children and raised the five in the Mission Hills home where White continues to live today. His youngest child, Madelyn White Dalgleish, 52, lives directly across the street.
She said that when she was young, she was constantly explaining her father's age to classmates.
"All the time," Dalgleish said. "At all the back-to-school days kids would ask, 'Where's your dad? Why did your grandpa come?' I'd say, 'That is my dad.' He retired when I was in junior high. But I didn't think about it. He never acted old."
At age 91, her father still felt strong enough to take the first of two trips to Haiti on a medical mission.
Now, although he has difficulty walking and seeing and his hearing is going, he also has a companion whom he has known for decades. She is the widowed wife of a late friend and medical colleague who also is the mother of Academy Award-winning actor Chris Cooper from Kansas City.
"He really enjoys her company," Dalgleish said. "When they get together, it's like looking at two high school kids."
Dalgleish credits genetics for her dad's longevity. An aunt lived past 100. But she also thinks it goes beyond biology.
"I think a lot of it is attitude. I think he chooses to look at the positive. Any negative, he will look at it and say, 'This will pass. It will pass. No worry.' He believes it. I believe it, too."

Brookline seeks help in its war on milfoilBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
March 17. 2013 10:17PM
BROOKLINE - For the past few years, the town has been successfully running a Lake Host Program to help keep the invasive milfoil plant from taking over Lake Potanipo. A dry season last year gave the plants a head start for this year, however, and a lack of volunteers to run the program is putting it at risk.
Now the town is reaching out to the public for help.
"We had a really, really good couple of years," said Kristen Austin, secretary for the Brookline Conservation Commission. "But with the lack of volunteers, if we have a Lake Host Program at all this year we'll be lucky."
The Lake Host Program, funded by the New Hampshire Lakes Association, posts folks at boat ramps around the state to ensure that their vessels aren't carrying any milfoil or other exotic plants that can quickly invade a body of water, killing off native species and altering the habitat of the lake.
"Exotic aquatic plant infestations in lakes and ponds are undesirable because they make recreation in and on the water dangerous and unpleasant, disrupt the ecological balance of these water bodies, reduce shoreline property values, and are difficult and expensive to control," Austin said.
The lake hosts, as they're called, are trained to identify exotic plants, which they bag and tag and send to laboratories to identify. By knowing what's growing in New Hampshire's lakes, programs to eradicate invasive species can be implemented. Brookline will be actively treating the milfoil problem this year, said Austin, but what the program needs right now is a leader who will volunteer to take over the management of the program.
"We had a group that was really, really gung ho, but lives changed and it fell off the side of the mountain," said Austin. "We really need someone to come and run the program."
The management position is unpaid, although there are stipends paid to the lake hosts who do the sampling, said Austin. So ultimately, the manager position would need to be someone with a strong sense of community service and desire to help the environment.
The position requires a lot of paperwork and documentation, sending samples to the lab and making sure the lake hosts are following instructions.
This year is really important for the Lake Host Program because the dry season caused a major setback in milfoil eradication last year.
"The weather just created the perfect environment for the milfoil to spread, so even though we treated it, we're still back to where we were when we started the program three years ago," said Austin. "Our lake is being overrun with milfoil."

Dalai Lama set to visit Oregon
By STEVEN DUBOIS
Of the Associated Press
PORTLAND — Portland seems like a natural place for the Dalai Lama to visit.
City leaders infuriated the Chinese government three years ago when they approved "Tibet Awareness Day" and a city commissioner raised the Tibetan flag in front of City Hall. Residents, meanwhile, have a reputation for environmentalism and a desire for self-development. They are spiritual, not dogmatically religious.
But the red-and-saffron-robed spiritual leader, despite frequent U.S. tours, has not been to Portland since he told a sold-out Memorial Coliseum crowd that humanity appeared to have learned its lessons from the violent 20th century, and expressed hope for a more peaceful next 100 years.
Terrorists brought down the Twin Towers four months later, triggering a century that has so far been defined by war, fear and heightened security.
Now, as the country reels from a bombing at the Boston Marathon, the Buddhist monk known as His Holiness finally returns to Oregon. A May 10 speech at the University of Oregon, where $20 tickets were reportedly being re-sold for more than 10 times that price, is sandwiched between environmental-themed events in Portland.
"The topic is really cool and it fits well with the place," said Katrina Brooks, who is studying the Tibetan language at Maitripa College, the Buddhist institution in southeast Portland that is hosting the visit.
Though big for the city, the Dalai Lama's appearance is huge for a college that was founded just seven years ago and has one classroom, a meditation room, roughly 60 students and an endowment of less than $1 million.
School president and professor Yangsi Rinpoche said he approached the Dalai Lama about visiting Portland when he saw him in Madison, Wis., in 2006. His Holiness was agreeable to the idea, Rinpoche said. Five years later, in southern France, he got up the nerve to remind him.
"I had met him several times, but I didn't want to bug him all the time. But, of course, I bugged his secretary all the time," he said with a laugh.
Rinpoche said the Dalai Lama probably does not come to Portland regularly because — though naturally beautiful — it's not as politically strategic an area as New York or Washington D.C. to pursue his goals of greater autonomy for Tibetans and the protection of their traditional Buddhist culture.
The 77-year-old spiritual leader was chosen as the 14th Dalai Lama in 1940. Believed to be the reincarnation of his predecessor, he has lived in India since 1959, when he and thousands of other Tibetans fled following a failed uprising against Chinese rule. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
Rinpoche said "everybody wants a ticket" to next month's events, but the demand has yet to translate into a surge of people seeking to enroll at the tiny college that, even with its name attached to the Dalai Lama's visit, is virtually unknown in Portland. Despite its low-profile, the school has attracted students from as far away as Romania and Australia.
"Somebody who is looking for something, they will find it," he said cryptically.
One Maitripa student, Don Polevacik, took a break from his work as a social worker and therapist to study under Rinpoche in the Master of Divinity program. He is eager for his first opportunity to be in the Dalai Lama's presence.
"I'm one of the few at the school who hasn't seen him yet," he said. "I'm relatively new to Buddhism, at least in this life, and I'm really, really excited about this incredible opportunity, not only for our school but for Portland.
"It's the joy of having a world figure come to our city and spread the word of peace, compassion and really caring for other people first."

All Optessa solutions, whether high level plans or detailed production schedules, will be of even quality. The term "evenly favorable" is also used, indicating that the solution is equally good across the entire horizon. More importantly, the last part of the solution will be as good as the start. Optessa technology optimizes the entire solution at each step of the solution process, which ensures the even solution quality
Very often, other planning and scheduling systems make the best choices at the beginning of the horizon. For example, in a weekly schedule, the schedule for Monday might appear to be good. Having made good choices early on, the system finds itself restricted, and forced, to making lower quality decisions in the later parts of the schedule. By mid-week, the schedule is of lower quality and, by the end of the week, the schedule could degrade to an essentially "unbuildable" state – i.e. it cannot be implemented.
Why does this happen with other systems? Simpler "heuristics" used by other systems favor good choices upfront. Sometimes, these systems solve a subset of the problem by "relaxing" constraints to generate an intermediate solution and then try to get back to applying the original constraints. Or, the problem is divided into smaller bins, like a day, and the solution for each bin is separately generated.All of these approaches can generate uneven solutions. Or, techniques such as Linear Programming (LP) or Integer Programming (IP) are applied but scheduling problems are neither linear nor of integer type.
On the other hand, Optessa technology, which is built around modern and patented techniques, produces even quality solutions. The benefits aresignificant:Less frequent rescheduling or replanning necessitated merely by uneven solutions Fulfill sales orders rather than pulling in low priority stock or forecast orders to resolve schedule problems Balanced product mix Maintain high throughput Balance and level workforce Example
Optessa MLS has generated even quality schedules for problems as large as the following and can do so for all sizes of production scheduling problems, from a weekly basis down to an hourly basis.

Both games were closer than the previous matchups, but Augusta's boys and girls basketball teams lost to Winfield on the road Friday night.
The girls team was down three points with 1:38 left in the fourth quarter. The Orioles created good shots three different times, but couldn't get any of the 3-pointers to fall. Winfield made free throws to clinch a 37-30 win in a low-scoring contest.
Bre Burkett and Casady Marlnee both had six points to lead the Orioles.
In the boys game, Connor Hurst made a 3-pointer in the second quarter to cut Winfield's lead to two at 15-13. The Vikings then went on an 8-0 run to take control.
Every time the Orioles came close to tying or taking the lead, Winfield had the answer. Several times, the answer was Landon Fox, who drained four 3-pointers and scored 15 for the game. Hurst scored on a steal and pass from Chase Winter to get the Orioles within two at 53-51 before Fox nailed a 3-pointer that proved to be the clincher.
Augusta will be off Tuesday and will play Circle at home Friday, Feb. 8 for the Orioles' homecoming night.

The complaint filed this week with the state Public Utilities Commission about new electricity rates charged by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association is so fresh that it hasnt gone anywhere, the newest commissioner said Friday.
Pam Patton, speaking at a League of Women Voters gathering at Durango Public Library, said one early decision by utilities commissioners will be whether to hear the matter themselves or assign it to an administrative law judge.
Its just arrived at our door, Patton said of the three-person Public Utilities Commission. It wont move along quickly.
The complaint was filed Monday by La Plata Electric Association, two other electric cooperatives and several heavy hitters in the energy field BP, Kinder Morgan, Exxon-Mobil and Encana Oil & Gas. The topic is Tri-States switch from time of use rates to a system that charges for average usage.
The change will cost ratepayers more, the complaint says.
Patton said the number of the complaint is 13F-0145E if anyone wants to track proceedings.
At the end of her 45-minute presentation, Patton answered questions about matters in Southwest Colorado regulated by the Public Utilities Commission. As backup, she asked Jim Dyer, a commissioner from 2001 to 2004, to stand beside her at the rostrum.
Among her comments were:
Since 1950, six PUC commissioners have come from locations other than the Denver metro area.
PUC regulations attempt to assure reliable service, reasonable costs and environmental protection.
In the field of transportation, a dozen commercial carriers charter buses, taxis, towing companies and moving companies are regulated.
The PUC has five inspectors who keep tabs on 24,000 miles of natural-gas pipelines.
Propane is not regulated unless it involves a system with 10 or more distribution units such as in a housing development.
In a 30-minute ceremony prior to Pattons talk, League of Women Voters members paid tribute to Susan Herbst, a dynamo credited with breathing new life into the local chapter in the late 1990s.
The event was the anniversary of the Sue Herbst Day proclaimed by the Madison, Wis., City Council on March 8, 1994, to recognize her.
Herbst died July 2, 2012, at her home in Durango.
Daughters Stephanie Herbst of Durango and Anne Herbst of Boston were present Friday.
Friday also was International Womens Day.

Good food guide
A balanced diet
Despite what you see in some diet books and TV programmes, healthy eating can be really straightforward.
A diet based on starchy foods such as rice and pasta, with plenty of fruit and vegetables, some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish and lentils, and some milk and dairy foods (and not too much fat, salt or sugar) will give you all the nutrients that you need.
When it comes to a healthy diet, balance is the key to getting it right. This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions.
But achieving that balance in modern life can be tricky. After a long day, it can be tempting to grab the first ready meal on the supermarket shelf, which is OK occasionally. But the nutritional labels on these foods show that many ready meals contain high levels of fat, added sugar and salt. If you eat ready meals too often, they'll upset the balance in your diet.
The eatwell plate
- To help you get the right balance of the five main food groups, take a look at the eatwell plate (PDF, 609kb).
- To maintain a healthy diet, the eatwell plate shows you how much of what you eat should come from each food group.
All the food we eat can be divided into five groups. In a healthy diet you eat the right balance of these groups.
They are:
- Fruit and vegetables.
- Starchy foods, such as rice, pasta, bread and potatoes. Choose wholegrain varieties whenever you can.
- Meat, fish, eggs and beans.
- Milk and dairy foods.
- Foods containing fat and sugar.
Most people in the UK eat too much fat, sugar and salt, and not enough fruit, vegetables and fibre.
1. Fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables are a vital source of vitamins and minerals. It's advised that we eat five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables a day.
There's evidence that people who eat at least five portions a day are at lower risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers.
What's more, eating five portions is not as hard as it might sound. Just one apple, banana, pear or similar-sized fruit is one portion. A slice of pineapple or melon is one portion. Three heaped tablespoons of vegetables is another portion.
Having a sliced banana with your morning cereal is a quick way to get one portion. Swap your mid-morning biscuit for a tangerine, and add a side salad to your lunch. Add a portion of vegetables to dinner, and snack on dried fruit in the evening to reach your five a day.
See 5 A DAY for more tips to help you get your five portions of fruit and veg.
2. Starchy foods
Starchy foods such as bread, cereals, potatoes, pasta, maize and cornbread are an important part of a healthy diet. They are a good source of energy and the main source of a range of nutrients in our diet. Starchy foods are fuel for your body.
Starchy foods should make up around one third of everything we eat. This means we should base our meals on these foods.
Try and choose wholegrain or wholemeal varieties, such as brown rice, wholewheat pasta and brown wholemeal bread. They contain more fibre (often referred to as 'roughage'), and usually more vitamins and minerals than white varieties.
Fibre is also found in beans, lentils and peas.
3. Meat, fish, eggs and beans
These foods are all good sources of protein, which is essential for growth and repair of the body. They are also good sources of a range of vitamins and minerals.
Around 15% of the calories that we eat each day should come from protein.
Meat is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc and B vitamins. It is also one of the main sources of vitamin B12. Try to eat lean cuts of meat and skinless poultry whenever possible to cut down on fat. Always cook meat thoroughly.
Fish is another important source of protein, and contains many vitamins and minerals. Oily fish is particularly rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Aim for at least two portions of fish a week, including one portion of oily fish. You can choose from fresh, frozen or canned, but canned and smoked fish can be high in salt.
Eggs and pulses (including beans, nuts and seeds) are also great sources of protein. Nuts are high in fibre and a good alternative to snacks high in saturated fat, but they do still contain high levels of fat, so eat them in moderation.
4. Milk and dairy foods
Milk and dairy foods such as cheese and yoghurt are good sources of protein. They also contain calcium, which helps to keep your bones healthy.
But some dairy products are high in saturated fat. Eating too much saturated fat can raise blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. To enjoy the health benefits of dairy without eating too much fat, use semi-skimmed milk, skimmed milk or 1% fat milks, lower-fat hard cheeses or cottage cheese, and lower-fat yoghurt.
5. Fat and sugar
Most people in the UK eat too much fat and too much sugar.
Fats and sugar are both good sources of energy for the body. But when we eat too much of them we consume more energy than we burn, and this can mean that we put on weight. This can lead to obesity, which increases our risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers.
But did you know that there are different types of fat?
Saturated fat is found in foods such as pies, meat products, sausages, cheese, butter, cakes and biscuits. It can raise your blood cholesterol level and increase your risk of heart disease. Most people in the UK eat too much saturated fat, which puts us at risk of health problems.
Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, can help to lower cholesterol and provide us with the essential fatty acids needed to help us stay healthy. Oily fish, nuts and seeds, avocados, olive oils and vegetable oils are sources of unsaturated fat.
For more information on fat and how to reduce it in our diets, see Fat: the facts.
Sugar occurs naturally in foods such as fruit and milk, but we don't need to cut down on these types of sugar. Sugar is also added to lots of foods and drinks such as fizzy drinks, cakes, biscuits, chocolate, pastries, ice cream and jam. It's also contained in some ready-made savoury foods such as pasta sauces and baked beans.
Most of us need to cut down on the foods with added sugar. Instead of a fizzy drink, for example, have a 100% fruit juice diluted with water. Make a pasta sauce yourself instead of buying a ready-made one. Have dried fruit for a snack instead of a chocolate bar.

Try to purchase the freshest possible catnip for your cat and rub it between your fingers to release warmth, aroma and the essential oils that catnip-sensitive felines love.read more
Name: Black-and-White
Age: 4
Breed: American Shorthair
Owner: None - a community cat
Hometown: Fremont, CA
Likes: Love and Food
Dislikes: Other male cats
None - a community cat says:
Black-and-White came along in 2008, apparently one of the new additions to our small, managed feral colony. Â Once he was neutered, however, he blossomed into a very loving, affectionate cat. Â He came to my porch and at least one other neighbor's porch 1 or more times per day for love and food (in that order). Â He actually lived across a little street in a condo complex where I believe he was born. He probably did not belong to anyone. He had a cute swagger to his walk and had the most pitiful low-pitched meow (but it was a happy meow)! He disappeared about 6-8 months ago for about a week-and-a-half and came back very skinny with an injured paw. On 5/2/12, he disappeared again. Â I looked all over for him, even contacting the junior high school behind his home area. Â I later found out this last Saturday that he had actually walked into a classroom at that school at least once that year...he was a very friendly cat. Saturday I was at the shelter looking for him and was starting to fill out a lost cat report, when I noticed the dead animals binder. Â I looked in there and there was a report of a dead black and white cat picked up on 5/2 on my cross streets. Â It is 98% sure that it was him, since he had to cross the small street 1-3 times per day. Â There's a 2% hope that it was another black and white cat who I don't know, and that he will return one of these days, recovering from another small injury. He is very much missed, probably by at least one other person besides me, and maybe several more people!
Cats reach full skeletal development when they are this old:

The Holistic Vibe at L'Auberge
There is something special about the ambiance of working and being at L'Auberge Del Mar as a massage therapist. Working isn't really an appropriate word, as practicing massage for me, is a calling and a passion.
Many of our providers were in other professions before realizing that we could not ignore the call to help others heal from everyday stress through the power of touch. But healing is an experience that comes from many approaches that rejuvenate the body, mind and spirit. The beautiful surroundings and people of the hotel are essential to creating the space for rejuvenation. Having been able to stay at L'Auberge as a guest before coming to work here, I enjoyed being able to walk down to the beautiful beach here. In the shadow of L'Auberge on the cliff, I practiced my Tai Chi on a picture-perfect Christmas morning as the full moon was setting, and on the opposite horizon, the sun was rising. As if scripted, dolphins were rolling in the waves offshore. Now I have the pleasure of working in this beautiful setting. It is an experience I know our guests experience, receiving one of our luxurious body treatments, or enjoying dinner while watching the sunset from the terrace.
When you come visit us, bring your intention as to what you desire to experience and we will help co-create that experience with you. Perhaps it's just a shift in perspective that comes from taking a time out. The relaxed and congenial atmosphere here helps me to act as a conduit of chi energy. When guests come in feeling overwhelmed, over-stressed and under-nurtured, it is gratifying when they leave with smiles and an aura of renewed energy. The Resort has a relaxed, but attentive, atmosphere that gives me the flexibility to make adjustments to our treatments that add not only relaxation, but memories.

Although application prices usually range from $50-100, you still should apply to six schools. Applying to just one or two schools is much too risky. Applying to more colleges gives you a better chance of being accepted somewhere, and may give you options. The cost is well worth it.
You should apply to two schools that you think are a little above your level. These schools should be ones that usually accept people with a higher GPA or SAT score than you have. It is really worth a shot to apply to "reach schools" because a lot of times, there is something about your application that is attractive to them. If you played the tuba faithfully all through highschool, and the college you are applying to just lost the only tuba player in their marching band, you have a good chance of fitting nicely into that niche.
Also, apply to two schools that could really go either way. You think you could get in, and you want to get in, but you aren't completely sure. You have as good of a chance as any.
Lastly, make sure to apply to two schools that you can certainly get in. Applying to "safety schools" is really important in case your other four fall through, you will still have a place to go come September. You can always transfer if you feel these schools aren't challenging you enough.

Sesame Seed Oil by La Tourangelle
According to La Tourangelle President Matthieu Kohlmeyer, "Our mill slowly roasts the sesame seeds using lower temperatures. The result is a lighter colored, more richly flavored oil with a subtle, toasted taste. Most Asian Sesame Oils available in the United States derive their dark, amber color and sometimes burnt flavor from the rapid, high temperature toasting of the sesame seeds."
The production of Sesame Oil begins with sesame seeds harvested from South America or Africa . The seeds are toasted and then expeller (machine) pressed to extract the oil. This oil is filtered several times and then bottled. The quality of Sesame Oil varies depending on the quality of the seeds and the length and temperature of the toasting process. While nearly all the Sesame Oil now available in the U.S. is produced in China or Taiwan using methods that involved certain production shortcuts, La Tourangelle's Japanese partner uses only the freshest, highest quality seeds that are painstakingly cleaned and slow toasted. Japanese craftsmanship in the production of sesame oil is recognized as superior throughout Asia.
American cooks may want to use Sesame Oil to flavor an Asian stir-fry or noodle dish or as a marinade for meat or fish. Sesame Oil makes a delicious dressing for a Chinese Chicken Salad. Sesame Oil, rice vinegar, fresh grated ginger, and mustard is a delicious dressing for any combination of salad greens.

Install the Gentoo Image
Using this method, you can install an entire Gentoo image complete with portage and overlay 20060216 in about 15 minutes. This image was created on 5/30/2006 immediately following a deep world update. I will periodically perform a deep world update and replace the image located at www.kurobox.com/downloads/gentoo/gentoo-image.tgz. If you are aware of a major update that should be included in this image please email dtaylor at kurobox dot com with a description of the update and I will put it on my very long list of things to do.
Preparing for Install
Start by using any FTP client to upload EM_mode_binaries.tar.bz2 (you can download it from http://kurobox.com/downloads/gentoo to /tmp on the Kuro (hint: Windows may change the extension of the file when you download it from the internet). Then login to the kuro using a telnet client
Kroutoshikou KURO-BOX (IETSUNA) kernel 2.4.17-kuro-box on ppc KURO-BOX-EM login: root Password: kuro (kuroadmin on HG)
Lets see what we've got
# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/ram0 9677 5102 4575 53% / # ls /tmp EM_mode_binaries.tar.gz
Install EM mode utilities
Change to the root and untar the binaries.
# cd / # tar xvzf /tmp/EM_mode_binaries.tar.gz bin/
bin/sfdisk bin/fdisk bin/bzip2 bin/date bin/chroot #
Check and set the date.
# date Fri Feb 1 12:37:03 JST 2006 # date 02032238 Thu Feb 3 22:38:00 JST 2006
Partitioning & Formating the HDD
Note: The /etc/fstab file that comes with the Gentoo image is configured to work with this hard drive partitioning scheme. If you want to use a different partitioning scheme you must edit /etc/fstab accordingly. The flash contains the standard visual editor, vi. instructions for using vi are available at http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html .
We run fdisk and create partitions. I use four partitions: hda1 for /, hda2 for the swap space, hda3 for /var, and hda4 for data storage (/datafiles). This section from the Gentoo Handbook explains how to prepare your hard disk (create partitions). For most users, 10gb each for / on hda1 and /var on hda3 is adequate. 512mb is good for a swap space on hda2 and use the remainder for /datafiles on hda4. However, you can decide which way you want to break up your hard disk. Remember you need to mount all of the drives (except the swap and /datafiles) before you untar the image (More on that later).
# fdisk /dev/hda
Once the partitions are created we format the partitions. Here we format the first partition on /dev/hda (the hard drive is /dev/hda).
# mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 mke2fs 1.22, 22-Jun-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 1251712 inodes, 2502115 blocks 125105 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 77 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16256 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (8192 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 29 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. #
We do this for all of the partitions we plan to use.
# mke2fs -j /dev/hda3 . . . # mke2fs -j /dev/hda4
# mkswap /dev/hda2 Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 518184960 bytes #
Install Gentoo Image
Mount new partitions
This will allow us to create the gentoo system on the hard drive instead of in the flash ram disk. We will create the directoy /gentoo mount /dev/hda1 there, then create /gentoo/var and mount /dev/hda3.
# mkdir /gentoo # mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /gentoo # mkdir /gentoo/var # mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /gentoo/var
Extracting the Image
We now use our FTP client to upload gentoo-image.tgz from http://www.kurobox.com/downloads/gentoo to the /gentoo directory on the kuro.
We then change directories to /gentoo and untar the image in what will be our root directory
# cd /gentoo # tar zxvf gentoo-image.tgz
Once the image is untarred we can delete the image from /gentoo.
# rm gentoo-image.tgz
Next we change the GENTOO_MIRRORS and SYNC lines in /etc/make.conf to suit your location. Pick the three nearest sites listed at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml for your GENTOO_MIRRORS line. For Your SYNC line, your choices are namerica, samerica, europe, asia and au (australia) in place of namerica in my SYNC line.
# cd /gentoo/etc # vi make.conf
Configure Network
Next we configure the network. If you want to use DCHP, you can skip this step as the image is configured for DCHP.
# cd conf.d # vi net
If you want a static IP address you need to uncomment a couple of lines. Scroll down to the section INTERFACE HANDLERS and uncomment the following lines. In the example I have set the IP address to 192.168.0.9, the network mask to 255.255.255.0, and the gateway to 192.168.0.1. Do not uncomment the default via 4321:0:1:2:3:4:567:89ab". You will want to change the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address to suit your network.
config_eth0=( 192.168.0.9 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ) routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.0.1" # "default via 4321:0:1:2:3:4:567:89ab" )
Clean up and Reboot
Unmount everything
# cd / # umount /gentoo/var # umount /gentoo
Set the box to boot to the new system. By the way, that device is FL3 in lowercase.
# echo -n "OKOK" > /dev/fl3
and then restart the system
# shutdown -r now
Wait a few minutes and then log onto your kuro with putty. The first time the system boots it will take about 3 minutes as it needs to generate the certificates used by sshd.
Login as root with the password: kurobox.
Post Installation Tasks
First we set the root password and create a new user who is a member of wheel so they can su to root.
kurobox ~ # cd / kurobox # passwd New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully kurobox # useradd dtaylor -m -G users,wheel -s /bin/bash kurobox # passwd dtaylor New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully kurobox #
Now would be a good time to update everything. This shouldn't take too long as an emerge -uD world was run on the image prior to creating the tarball on 5/30/06.
kurobox / # emerge --sync && emerge -uNDv world
Last, if anything was updated and portage says we need to update our config files we run etc-update. Don't do this blindly as you can easily break your brand new system. You need to understand what the configuration files mean and choose what lines you want to edit.
kurobox / # etc-update
That's it. You're done. You should consider going to the Administrate Your Gentoo System page and installing some system utilities.

LHC set to see beyond Higgs
Next run of proton collisions seeks signs of new physics
When researchers operating the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, outside Geneva discovered the Higgs boson, it ended a decades-long effort to fill the final gap in physicists' catalog of matter's particles and forces. Now comes the hard part. Physicists know that their catalog is only a start; there's far more to the universe that needs to be explained. But the LHC's first round of results offered no clues, no roadmap for delving beyond.
"We don't know how to link what we know to what we don't," says Tara Shears, an experimental physicist at the University of Liverpool in England.
As an upgraded LHC begins collecting data from high-speed proton collisions on June 3 after a two-plus-year hiatus, physicists are anxiously wondering whether the machine's second act will lead to discoveries of new particles and forces that add pages to the catalog. "I'm cautiously optimistic," says Nathaniel Craig, a theoretical physicist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. "There's a significant likelihood of something happening."
Researchers say hints of new physics could come in the form of strange behavior of particles, a slightly peculiar Higgs or mysteriously disappearing energy. Those developments could show up soon after the machine restarts, or they may require a decade or more of painstaking analysis.
In the 1970s, physicists devised the standard model of particle physics, which described a set of puzzle pieces — particles and forces — and showed how they could fit together to form a coherent picture that describes nature. By the time the LHC started its first experimental run in the spring of 2010, physicists had discovered all the puzzle pieces except one: the Higgs boson, which was needed to explain how some other particles acquire mass. Within a little more than two years, LHC physicists found the Higgs and completed the standard model puzzle (SN: 7/28/12, p. 5).
The standard model beautifully describes ordinary matter, but it has no explanation for the vast majority of the universe's composition, which includes mysterious stuff like the dark matter that dominates the mass of galaxies. Any strange finding at the LHC, such as an unexpected property of the Higgs or an oddly behaving set of particles, could have provided clues to particles and forces beyond the standard model. Yet the Higgs discovery was arguably the only highlight of the LHC's inaugural three-year run, disappointing physicists who expected more surprising discoveries. "The fact that the Higgs was the only exciting thing is a little disturbing," says Boston University theoretical physicist Kenneth Lane.
The lack of non-Higgs developments after more than a million billion proton collisions may seem to portend the same outcome once the LHC returns to action. Yet the revamped LHC is not a retread of the old one. During a May 20 test to prepare for the restart, LHC physicists collided protons at a record-setting energy of 13 trillion electron volts, or 13 TeV, nearly doubling the energy of the machine's first collisions in 2010. Higher energy translates into an improved ability to produce and detect more massive particles. For example, the gluino, a proposed particle beyond the standard model that could weigh in at between 1 and 2 TeV, should stick out like a sore thumb if it exists.
In addition to the energy upgrade, protons will also collide about a billion times a second, versus about 600 million collisions per second five years ago. The increased collision rate will allow experimentalists to more rapidly separate the signatures of new particles from the inevitable noise that comes when tracking a maelstrom of subatomic shrapnel.
Thanks to the dual improvements, over the next three years the LHC should produce about 10 times as many Higgs bosons as the roughly 500,000 churned out by the first-generation machine (only a fraction of those Higgs were actually detected). The boosted efficiency will enable physicists to meticulously probe every property of the particle and compare the measurements with standard model predictions. A discrepancy in, say, the rate at which the Higgs decays into photons would suggest that a particle or force new to physics is interfering with the process.
The Higgs could reveal new physics in other ways, too. Perhaps Higgs bosons are produced by yet-to-be-discovered heavier particles, says Matt Strassler, a Harvard University theoretical physicist. Or the Higgs might decay into lighter particles never seen before. Based on the limited number of Higgs bosons observed so far, Strassler says, "as many as 1 in 10 decays could be to something the standard model does not predict."
Physicists aren't just praying for hints of new physics, Strassler stresses. He says there is very good reason to believe that the LHC should find new particles. For one, the mass of the Higgs boson, about 125.09 billion electron volts, seems precariously low if the census of particles is truly complete. Various calculations based on theory dictate that the Higgs mass should be comparable to a figure called the Planck mass, which is about 17 orders of magnitude higher than the boson's measured heft (SN Online: 10/22/13).
As a remedy to this problem, many physicists have proposed new particles that essentially cancel out the influences that would otherwise cause the Higgs' mass to skyrocket. Those theories come in many forms and go by many names, including twin Higgs and supersymmetry (SN Online: 10/17/13). Despite the plethora of options, all these proposals hinge on the existence of particles with masses not much higher than that of the Higgs — a mass range that the supercharged LHC is optimized to explore.
Other physicists have high hopes that new physics is hiding in seemingly minor blips in measurements from the LHC's inaugural run. Lane and other theorists are eyeing decays of particles called B mesons. Some decays produce, among other things, electrons and positrons; other decays produce muons, which are about 200 times as massive as electrons but otherwise identical, and antimuons. According to the standard model, the B decays should produce muons just as often as electrons. Yet Lane says that multiple measurements suggest that only three muon/antimuon pairs are produced for every four pairs of electrons and positrons.
No single measurement meets physicists' strict statistical criteria to qualify as a discovery, Lane warns. But he says it's worth pursuing whether a new particle or force interacts preferentially with muons over electrons. Along with Nobel laureate Sheldon Glashow and another colleague, Lane also proposed that a B meson could decay into combinations such as one electron and one antimuon that are banned by the standard model. "That would be exciting as hell," Lane says.
Finally, the LHC could present a pivotal piece for the puzzle of dark matter. Physicists know dark matter exists because of its gravitational influence on galaxies (SN: 5/16/15, p. 10), but nobody knows what this mysterious matter is made of because it rarely, if ever, interacts with ordinary matter. Some theories of supersymmetry predict that the LHC should produce dark matter particles. While no detector would sense those particles, they could leave their mark if energy seems to mysteriously disappear following a collision. Strassler says that dark matter or related particles could decay into detectable matter. It's probably a long shot, but such a detection would offer that invaluable, elusive link between what physicists know and what they don't.

Passengers are reminded that when flying in economy class the hand luggage allocation is no more than one piece weighing 8kg and two pieces of 8kgs each in business class.
The dimensions of each bag must not exceed 115cm.
Weighing scales have been placed at strategic security points to weigh hand luggage after check-in. If hand baggage is in excess of the 8kg limit, or in excess of the number of pieces allowed, passengers will be sent to check the bag in before proceeding to board.
"To avoid missing your flight, it is in each passenger's interest to ensure they comply," says Tsimane.
Baggage information flyers are available at all SAA check-in counters as an added resource for passengers on all related restrictions.
Passengers are also reminded that if they are requested to check-in hand luggage due to it not complying with restrictions, all valuable items must be removed for the bag.
A recent trial run by SAA of the new security measures for hand baggage showed a marked decrease in flight departure delays, another benefit passengers can look forward to when complying with restrictions.

Starting with this one that makes a cute cake shaped like a gigantic chocolate bar! This pan came with a magazine I bought and I never saw them selling anywhere, so I guess I was lucky! Isn't it cool?
I love my springform pans, I have beside these ones a few more normal round ones. I really like square cakes, they're much easier to cut. I like to make square cheesecakes or in heart shape as well. The round one is 5 inches (12.5 cm), so it's pretty good when I do half recipes. I've used it to do this Filbert cake. The ring mold is not technically a cake pan, but it was a present from a dear friend and it's the best thing to make mousse based cakes.
The first one is my newest pan, it's a half ball, that I've used to do this world cake for my cousin who's going to Australia! The moon and the shell make sweet looking cakes and the last one is a miniature tube pan, perfect to make 1/4 portions of recipes .
This is probably the strangest one of my huge collection. It's a tube pan to bake the cake on the stove top. This was my best friend when my oven was broken, I specially loved looking at the little window on top to see the cake rise! I don't use it anymore but I just love to have it!
So after the cakes are baked, the best thing to have is a CAKE LIFTER.
This is the GIVEAWAY part! I have 2 of these cake lifters that are a great help when decorating cakes. The holes are great for when pooring an icing over a cake and also double as a stencil when decorating with icing sugar or cocoa powder. And of course the little handle is very handy to transfer cakes to their serving plates.
I'll randomly pick 2 winners, so if you'd like to lift your cakes, just leave a comment until August 15th (next friday). Tell me what's your favourite cake pan!
And speaking of giveaways...
This is the great book I received from a Zen Chef's giveaway. Merci Zen! I've allready used it to make Roasted Bananas with Coconut Syrup to thank you, but since you never came I had to eat them all by myself. They were really good!
Also thank you Adam, Noor, Dawn and Shelby for the Brillante Weblog award! You are great! I'll pass it to 2 talented Spanish girls: Morgana and Cookemila!
Now don't forget to check next week to see if you won the Cake Lifter. Good Luck!

When Julia Baumel decides to "pull" for a cause, she doesn't mess around. This Kennett High School junior and NRC varsity rower used the club's MLK Day event, the "Million Meter Marathon," to attempt to break the World Record time for the lightweight junior women's indoor rowing marathon (42,195 meters), while at the same time to raise money for her charity, Kids Pitch In.
And break the world record she did-shattering the old mark that stood for nearly 9 years by almost 6 minutes. Her official time, 3hrs 09:04.4 minutes, was confirmed by Concept 2, the world sponsor of indoor rowing events and records.
In addition, her record-breaking row raised more than $5000 for the charity she founded in 2010, Kids Pitch In (KPI). KPI has partnered with Philadelphia Phillies pitcher, Cole Hamels, his wife Heidi, and The Hamels Foundation (THF) and has been organizing fundraising projects for The Hamel's Foundation Namunda School, a school for orphaned girls in Southern Malawi. In 2010, KPI organized, "Kennett Pitches In" as a community project that raised $10,000 for the building of the "Kennett Classroom" at the Namunda School. In May 2011, Cole and Heidi Hamels visited the Kennett schools to thank Julia, Kids Pitch In, and the entire Kennett community for their generous support of the Malawi project.
Julia, who has rowed for 3 years, has been training for nearly 12 months straight, both on the water and indoors, for her world record-breaking marathon attempt. "Rowing an indoor marathon is a top endurance test for any competitive rower," said Julia. "As physically challenging as it is, few want to do it again. So I decided to go for it, and use the effort to benefit Kids Pitch In."
NRC coaches John Cohn and Samantha McDonald guided her training. "We're incredibly proud of Julia," said Cohn. "Her accomplishment is not only a product of her physical fitness, but of the determination and focus we see from her daily."
NRC Executive Director, Susan Smith, added, "Though this is an extremely difficult achievement, I was confident that Julia would accomplish her goal. She is a very focused athlete, and when Julia sets her mind to something, there's no stopping her. I couldn't be more proud. She's an inspiration to us all."
Providing support to Julia during her more than three hour row were her coaches and team mates, including impressive rows from the Carr sisters, 13 year-old Rose from Newark Charter and 15 year old Tara of The Conrad School, logging times of 3 hours 18:16 minutes and 3 hours 23:17 minutes, respectively.
Also rowing a marathon was NRC novice rower and Salesianum sophomore, Bill Watkins, who has been rowing just a season with the club. Bill completed his marathon in 3 hours 19:26 minutes.
So how do you keep the athletes distracted from the monotony of a marathon row but focused on their goals - by watching a season of ABC's hit show "Modern Family," that's how!
Overall first-time rowers, junior athletes, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, young and old rowed more than 964,000 meters during the 12-hour event.
Added Susan Smith, "We're extremely proud of the way our athletes and the community got behind this first year MLK Day celebration. Now that it's over we can't help but look ahead to next year's event to benefit even more charitable organizations."

For the first time in four decades of polling, a majority of Americans support legalizing the use of marijuana.
A Pew poll released today found that 52 percent of those polled said marijuana should be legal. Forty-five percent said it should be illegal.
Pew reports:
"Support for legalizing marijuana has risen 11 points since 2010. The change is even more dramatic since the late 1960s. A 1969 Gallup survey found that just 12% favored legalizing marijuana use, while 84% were opposed.
"The survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted March 13-17 among 1,501 adults, finds that young people are the most supportive of marijuana legalization. Fully 65% of Millennials –born since 1980 and now between 18 and 32 – favor legalizing the use of marijuana, up from just 36% in 2008. Yet there also has been a striking change in long-term attitudes among older generations, particularly Baby Boomers."
This isn't terribly surprising, of course. Back in October of 2011, we noted that in Gallup's poll, support for legalizing marijuana had reached 50 percent for the first time ever.
The Washington Post reports that a November Post-ABC News poll found "the public split 48 to 50 percent on" the issue. "And 51 percent of registered voters supported legalization in a December Quinnipiac University poll."
We'll leave you with an interesting graph showing support by generational group. Notice that support from boomers is the highest since the '70s.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
A majority of Americans now support legalizing marijuana. That's according to a new survey out today from the Pew Research Center. The study found that attitudes toward marijuana have changed dramatically in just the past few years. Not surprisingly, young people are driving that change. But there's also been significant movement among older generations.
Joining us to talk about the findings is Pew Research Center director Michael Dimock. Michael, welcome.
MICHAEL DIMOCK: Hi, thanks for having me.
CORNISH: So help us understand just how significant this shift is, that the majority of Americans now support legalizing the use of marijuana.
DIMOCK: Right. This is the first survey we've done where we've seen more than half. It's 52 percent. So not a big majority, but a majority of Americans saying they'd like to see marijuana legalized. That trajectory has been ticking upward for most of the past couple of decades, but really has taken a steeper turn in the past three or four years. The survey we did three years ago, in 2010, it was 41 percent. That's an 11-point gain in just three years.
CORNISH: One of the fascinating parts of the study is looking at the baby boom generation. They started out in the, I guess, '70s with some measure of support. Then is numbers shift. What happened there?
DIMOCK: Well, it is an interesting trend. You know, in the '70s when most of the baby boomers were themselves in their 20s, they were very much at the very front of thinking marijuana ought to be legalized, about half of the time. But as they got a bit older, their attitudes turned sharply against marijuana legalization. By 1990, when most boomers were in their 30s going into their 40s, they were pretty deeply against it, 17 percent at the time favorite legalizing marijuana. But now that they're in their 50s and 60s, their attitudes have shifted back to pretty much where they were back in the 1970s.
CORNISH: There's also been a shift across the board in terms of how people view the moral issues with marijuana. And what do you think is behind that?
DIMOCK: Well, you know, people are seeing marijuana legalized in a number of states. And people are clearly thinking about marijuana in a different way than they used to. Just seven years ago, we found half of Americans saying that using marijuana was morally wrong. That's fallen down to 32 percent just in the past seven years.
: But other attitudes about marijuana have also shifted. How risky people see marijuana has also declined. Surveys in the '70s found vast majorities, 60 percent, saying that using marijuana led to the use of hard drugs. This idea that it was a gateway drug. Now only a minority, 38 percent, hold that view.
CORNISH: At the same time, legalization of marijuana would likely lead to more people using it out in the open. And how do people really feel about that?
DIMOCK: You know, they're mixed. About a little more than half, 51 percent, told us they'd be uncomfortable if people were smoking marijuana around them. I don't think this is a sense that a lot of people are eager to see marijuana widely used. But they are questioning how risky it is, whether this is something the government should be involved with.
In fact, there is a great deal of skepticism about whether enforcing marijuana laws are really worth the cost. We're seeing somewhere around 70 or more percent, across party lines, saying that it's just not worth it.
CORNISH: And as you mentioned, states obviously are our passing legislation around this. We saw Colorado and Washington both passed measures for legalization. But is this a trend you expect will continue based on what you found in the survey?
DIMOCK: Well, public support for this idea is certainly growing. And often as it starts to become legalized and normalized, unless there are really clear negative consequences to that, that normalization can often increase the trend.
One interesting fact in here is that support for marijuana legalization is no higher in the states that have done it than in the states that haven't. It's as prevalent across all sectors of the country - north, south, east, west, urban, rural. Marijuana use and marijuana attitudes don't have a very geographical nature to them, which is kind of interesting.
CORNISH: Michael Dimock is director of the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. Thank you so much for coming in.
