In what has to be great news for Mayor Rahm Emanuel's re-election prospects, a new study by the Brookings Institutions finds that the number of poor people living in Chicago's suburbs has increased 99 percent in the past 10 years.
That means they aren't living in Chicago, where they might be inclined to vote against the mayor in 2015. A Tribune survey conducted earlier this month found that voters earning over $100,000 a year are the only demographic group in which a majority said Emanuel is "in touch with people like you" — and even that figure was only 55 percent.
African-Americans, who have a disproportionately high poverty rate, are particularly disenchanted with Emanuel. But that's exactly the population the city has been offloading to the south suburbs over the past 10 years, as a result of gentrification and destruction of housing projects. Chicago's black population declined by 200,000 between 2000 and 2010.
Here's a list of suburbs with higher poverty rates than Chicago. They're all in that region known as "out South."
Robbins — 37.9 percent
Harvey — 30.9 percent
Markham — 24.5 percent
Chicago Heights — 24.4 percent
Riverdale — 23 percent
According to a Tribune story on the study:
More poor people moved to the suburbs, pulled by more affordable homes or pushed by urban gentrification, the authors said. Some used the increased mobility of housing vouchers, which used to be restricted by area, to seek better schools and safer neighborhoods in suburbia. Still others, including immigrants, followed jobs as the booming suburbs demanded more workers, many for low-paying, service-sector jobs.
Among the communities spotlighted in the book are suburbs in southern Cook County: Blue Island, Dolton, Lansing, Park Forest and South Holland.
The poor population in Park Forest has grown by more than 125 percent since 2000, and the poverty rate has jumped from 7 percent to 15 percent, according to the book. In South Holland, the poor population also more than doubled and the poverty rate jumped from 5 percent to 10 percent.
As long as Emanuel is mayor, you can bet that trend will continue.

Who doesnt want to be free of having to work?
If youre like me, the dream of reaching the point of not having to work crosses your mind weekly and on some Mondays, multiple times.
The amount of money youll need to save for this type of freedom will vary based on your lifestyle, hobbies and goals. An excellent target is 10 times your annual income.
So, if your household income were $60,000 a year, accumulating $600,000 would likely give you a secure financial future because a combination of the investment income plus Social Security income will provide the 85 percent of your working income in this example $51,000, youll need to live on.
I know, achieving such a goal might sound as likely as winning a gold medal.
Fortunately, your chances are much better than the about 22 million-to-1 odds of striking Olympic gold. In fact, the research firm Hearts & Wallets reports that 64 percent of power-savers reach the security benchmark of saving 10 times their annual pay.
You can become a power-saver with these four easy-to-follow steps: follow a realistic, written monthly budget; pay off all non-mortgage debt, begin living on 85 percent of your take-home pay, avoid lifestyle inflation.
Your budget, of course, must include basic necessities, such as food, shelter, transportation and debt payments.
You also must plan for expenses that occur less consistently, such as car repairs, school supplies and insurance payments.
Living on a budget doesnt mean you give up all rewards. Plan a few nice-to-have items such as restaurants and entertainment.
Once you have a budget in place, its time to accelerate paying off your debt. Some of the keys to rapid debt reduction include:
Focusing on small debts first and paying them off one at a time.
Selling things on which you have a loan such as cars, boats and other luxuries.
Using tax refunds and bonuses to pay down debt.
By squeezing your budget, you can eliminate your debt. For most people, the debt-payment process will take just 12 to 18 months of dedicated effort.
Once youre debt-free, boost your power-saving by saving and investing the money you were using to reduce your debt. Remember to bank at least half of any pay raises, bonuses and tax refunds.
This disciplined approach to managing your increasing income will help prevent excessive lifestyle inflation.
Lifestyle inflation is the natural tendency to spend your raises and bonuses on: bigger houses, fancy new cars and more expensive food.
Mary Beth Franklin from Kiplinger reports that you should be on track to 10 times your income if you have saved the following multiples of your income by these ages.
Age 30 0.3 times your income.
Age 35 1.1 times your income.
Age 40 2.0 times your income.
Age 45 3.2 times your income.
Age 50 4.5 times your income.
Age 55 6.2 times your income.
Age 60 8.2 times your income.
Age 65 10.6 times your income.
Remember, the sacrifice today is worth financial freedom to come.

Talk:20.109(F12) Pre-Proposal: Engineering Viral Magnetic Nanoparticles for Magnetic Hyperthermic Cancer Therapy
From OpenWetWare
- This is a brainstorming page.
You are very welcome to write any crazy / non-crazy / inventive / conventional / knowledgeable ideas or information you may have about our project.
Some key words:
- Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNP)
- Viruses - M13 bacteriophage
- Magnetic Hyperthermia
- Bioengineering
What is Magnetic Hyperthermia?
Current Work
Current Limitations (This information will help us shape and define the problem.)
(1) To achieve the necessary rise in temperature with minimal dose of MNP.
- In other words, this means:
- High specific loss power (SLP) of the MNP.
Biomedical potentials of MNP
Current Work in MNP-M13 Bacteriophage Attachment
What we propose to do
Potential Issues
"The actual rotations of the nanoparticles are disordered because the microviscosity of the local environment in cancer cells is not constant, and effective elasticity depends on the binding conditions between nanoparticles and membranes."

-- Mary Elizabeth Dallas
THURSDAY, Oct. 17 (HealthDay News) -- If fear of kidney stones is preventing you from using vitamin D supplements, a new study could ease your mind.
Taking vitamin D does not increase the risk for kidney stones, the study found. People's age, gender and weight, however, may play a role in developing the condition.
Previous research suggested that adequate levels of vitamin D might help protect against a number of diseases, including certain forms of cancer.
"Our results may lessen concerns by individuals about taking vitamin D supplements, as no link was shown between such supplementation and an increased risk for kidney stones," study leader Cedric Garland, of the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, said in a university news release.
The new study used data on more than 2,000 adults of all ages. After following the participants for 19 months, researchers found that only 13 people reported being diagnosed with a kidney stone during that time.
The study, which appears Oct. 17 in the American Journal of Public Health, did show that being older or having a higher body-mass index (BMI) were both risk factors for this condition. BMI is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight.
Men also are at greater risk for kidney stones than women, the study found. But vitamin D users are not, it suggested.
"Mounting evidence indicates that a vitamin D serum level in the therapeutic range of 40 to 50 [nanograms per milliliter] is needed for substantial reduction in risk of many diseases, including breast and colorectal cancer," said Garland, an adjunct professor with the division of epidemiology in the department of family and preventive medicine.
Garland added that supplements typically are needed to achieve this blood level of vitamin D. People with a higher BMI need more vitamin D to gain its health benefits, he said.

Me: Worf has a scar.
The Federation builds big black ominous looking Starships of death in at least one timeline.
William Shatner is Jewish.
Adam from The Way to Eden and General Denning from Little Green Men are the same actor.
Dorn is a vegan.
If you had a spine transplant, youd probably have a scar too....
Posting here I've found out that most people here hate Star Trek.
As in the franchise, the Original Series or the 2009 movie?
That Franz Joseph, creator of the originial Star Trek Technical Manual and Enterprise Booklet of General Plans, designed Federation Credit notes!!
The new film is out soon. Seriously, I had no idea! I thought it was next year some time. *hands back fan card*
courtesy of reddit...
EaF--The memorable and feisty female officer giving directions to Riker, and then gives his ass the once-over as he turns away. Yeah, her.
She's Evelyn Guerrero and she's done a Playboy photoshoot that's quite attractive.
Twenty-six years since she stuck in my mind with that Farpoint scene and I never knew...
The franchise.
The TOS Enterprise turbolift floor is green (and I started watching Trek in the early 70s)
She's also done porn videos. Sometimes the acting thing just doesn't pan out.
At least we know why Gene cast her!
Apparently, it's not a show about a USO tour.
That some fans have been incredibly adept at CGI with original Star Trek, to make something like THIS. And that was 2 years ago!
That Star Trek (2009) is rated as the Best of the Star Trek feature films...
Still shaking my head over it... Of course I investigated the IMDB site and learned that most of the people who voted it great were males in their teens, so...
Apparently Patrick Stewart is doing the voice over on those awful National Rental car commercials
"Yes you could, Business Pro. Yes you could"
There is no Star Trek show called "Keeping up with the Cardassians"
Separate names with a comma.

Air Force scrapped top secret 'bat bomb' project in Carlsbad 70 years ago
By JESSICA ONSUREZ | Carlsbad (N.M.) Current-Argu | Published: May 28, 2014
CARLSBAD, N.M. — A military experiment involving a dentist, a famous chemist and some Mexican free-tailed bats sputtered and died 70 years ago, but not before making an indelible mark on Carlsbad's military history.
On May 15, 1943 an enraged Col. William C. Lewis, commander of the Carlsbad Air Force Base, stood outside the gates of his auxiliary field with fire engine equipment and watched it burn. The commander, who was turned away by visiting Army officials, was even more aggrieved when asked to supply a bulldozer which could grind the burnt evidence into the ground wrote Jack Couffer, a young private visiting the airfield as part of a top secret project, in his book "Bat Bombs".
"It was a small field, maybe about five miles from the base. But it was used for training runs and so would have been a sore loss for them," said Bobby Lee Silliman, an amateur historian with an interest in the Carlsbad Army Airfield Base.
In the official report, base fire marshal George S. Young reported that the total loss was estimated at $6,838, listing the cause of the fire as "explosion of incendiary bomb materials."
"In-as-much as the work being done under Lt. Col. Epler was of a confidential nature, and everyone connected with this base had been denied admission, it is impossible for me to determine the exact cause of the fire, but my deduction is that an explosion of incendiary bomb material cause the fire," wrote Young to the base commander.
That was the day the top secret program, meant to turn the tide for the U.S. in World War II, came to a screeching halt.
Called the Adams Plan unofficially and Project X-Ray officially, the $2 million project proposed using "bat bombs" to force an end to the armed conflict that had spread worldwide.
Project Beginnings
In January 1942, a leading military operative received a note from President Franklin D. Roosevelt with the explicit order to follow up on what would later be called an "idea so idiotic it could possibly work." That idea, proposed by Dr. Lytle S. Adams, was to attach incendiary devices to the species Chiropera — bats — and drop them on the Japanese mainland. Adams, a dentist from Pennsylvania by trade, modeled himself a scientist and inventor. A previous inventions, a rapid air-mail drop process, had gained the respect of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt who acted as the intermediary between Adams' new proposal and her husband. "This man is not a nut," read the missive sent by Roosevelt to Col. W.M. J. Donovan, who forwarded Adams proposal to the staff of the National Research Defense Committee.
Although having gained the president's tentative approval, the military's grudging interest and a nod from Harvard University bat specialist Donald Griffin, Adam's proposal was dealt a blow when technical personnel from the Chemical Warfare department of the National Inventors Council determined that no bat species would be able to support the weight of even the smallest incendiary invented at the time. Adams, who was dedicated to his plan to defeat the Empire of Japan, would not rest on the opinion of the NIC.
Adams would gather a rag tag bunch of scientist and military privates in his own "bat unit" to continue with the development of the "bat bomb" according to Couffer. The bomb, Adams postured, would drop hundreds of hibernating bats strapped with miniature incendiaries in Japan's airspace. The bats would wake from their suspended animation and roost, igniting hundreds of small fires; a tactic creating maximum damage with minimum loss of life.
The Mexican free-tailed bat is a medium sized mammal that they can weigh between 11 to 14 grams and have a wings span of 12 to 14 inches. But the attractiveness of the free-tailed for this mission was its ability to carry four times its weight efficiently — something that biologist Jack C. von Bloeker Jr., part of Adam's motley project crew determined would satisfy the naysayers.
The NIC's concerns over developing a lightweight incendiary device were eased when chemist Louis Fieser was assigned to the problem. Fieser brought to Project X-Ray a new, powerful incendiary called napalm.
Test Gone Awry
While collecting millions of free-tailed bats near Bandera, Texas, Adams got a letter from the head of the Army Air Force pledging to provide the "bat unit" with 14 stratoliners — pressurized, heavy bomber planes — and their pilots for test runs.
The first test run in Muroc, Texas, however, was a disaster. The container devised to hold the hibernating bats, made of heavy cardboard and glue, disintegrated in mid-air.
Adams promised a secondary test run at a small air field base in Carlsbad would provide better results to military officials who had begun to turn their attention to another top secret New Mexico-based research mission which would be come to called the Manhattan Project.
Still wrestling with problems of hibernation, but sporting a new mechanical payload design, Adams' team proceeded to the southeastern desert May 1943 in hopes of proving their project still had merit. Joining Adams and the "bat unit" was visiting Gen. Louis DeHaven, in addition to an Air Force captain and chemical warfare service colonel. Much to everyone's surprise the mechanical payload worked as designed, releasing a wave of free-taileds, freshly caught from the nearby Carlsbad Caverns, carrying dummy napalm bombs. Two more test flights gave similar results — thus the decision to try a small live payload was made, Some attribute the mistake to Fieser, who wished to visually record the live detonation of his clever new device.
In his book Couffer writes that as a few bats in hibernating state were being fitted with the live napalm device, some began to wake for unknown reasons and escaped their handlers.
"Fieser underestimated the desert heat's ability to warm and wake the bats from their torpor," writes Michael Barnhart, amateur historian. The incendiary device which had been constructed with a 15-minute delay gave Adam's team little time to recover them. However, the effectiveness of the time-delayed bomb was proven when 15 minutes later the combination Operations and Crew Chief building burst into flame.
Napalm, a mixture of a thickening substance, napthehenic and palmitic acid, had been developed by Fieser and used successfully throughout WWII. It fueled the flames that engulfed the 30-foot tower, pushing them toward the visiting Gen. DeHaven's car and other structures on the field. Couffer would call this the beginning of the end.
While the destruction of the base had been viewed as a disaster, the ultimate potential of Project X-Ray had been proven. Mexican free-tailed bats could deliver a timed incendiary device that would cause maximum fire damage. Ultimately, Adams would be pushed out of the project when it passed to the US Marine Corps for further testing. Fieser would inherit Project X-Ray — and the bat unit. In December 1943 official word from military commanders in the Marine Corps brought development of the bat bombs to an end, and the project was completely de-constructed by 1944. While the project's termination would be blamed on time-constraints and budget, history shows that a more destructive device, the atom bomb, had become the lead project and single hope of an American military determined to end a war which cost millions of lives on both sides of the fight.

Back To The Future
45-Minute Spinal Surgery Resolves Nearly Two Decades of Back PainBy: Roxanne Jones
In 1994, then-23-year-old Gloria Sotomayor injured her back at work.
"I used to work serving banquets at a hotel, lifting those big trays," she relates. "I had a herniated disk and was told I needed surgery to fix it. I had heard bad things about back surgery so I was reluctant to have it. So I just went to [physical] therapy."
Over the years, however, Sotomayor's back issues worsened.
"I was in a lot of pain, sciatic pain, and my back would go out," she says. "I was taking painkillers and after awhile, even the medications didn't work. I tried a chiropractor, but that didn't help."
By the end of 2012, Sotomayor was in so much pain that she was confined to bed, getting up only to use the bathroom. She'd been unable to work at her much-loved job as a retail manager for three months.
"I had to go to the emergency department for pain management," she says, referring to epidural steroid injections. "But it just wasn't working anymore."
Because her injury was work-related, Sotomayor had received a settlement that provided for medical treatment for as long as she needed it.
"I got in touch with the Division of Workers' Compensation about needing medical treatment and they said they'd send me a list of doctors I could see," she says. "Before I received the list, I got on the Internet and started researching orthopedic surgeons, their credentials and what patients had to say about them. When I read about Dr. Tahernia, I decided that he was the one I wanted to see. Fortunately, he was on the list."
A. David Tahernia, MD, is a Board Certified, fellowship-trained Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon and director of the Comprehensive Spine Center at Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Center.
"When I first saw Gloria, she was very debilitated," Dr. Tahernia recalls. "She was in severe sciatic pain from a herniated disk. As a result of the pain in her leg, she'd developed a limp and had essentially become non-functional."
"She had failed every other form of conservative treatment including physical therapy, medications and epidural steroid injections," he continues. "Surgery was really the only option at that point because she was getting progressively worse. In fact, progressive worsening is an indication for surgery independent of any conservative measures tried."
"When I saw Dr. Tahernia, he explained everything about the surgery and educated me about after-care and not hurting myself," Sotomayor says. "I had a fear of back surgery, wondering if I'd continue to limp or even be able to walk afterward. But he was very professional and caring. and I felt very comfortable."
At the end of January 2013, Sotomayor underwent a procedure called a microdiscectomy — surgical removal of herniated disk material that presses on a nerve root or the spinal cord.
"We make a small incision a couple of centimeters in length, expose the appropriate segment of the spine, and remove a little bone and soft tissue to access the herniation, using an operating microscope," Dr. Tahernia explains. "There were no surprises once we got in there — just a big herniated disk."The procedure took about 45 minutes.
Once she healed from the surgery, Sotomayor participated in three weeks of physical therapy. On June 6 she returned to work full time, which for this self-admitted workaholic is 50 to 60 hours a week.
"I have a mortgage and need the benefits," the Cathedral City resident says of her desire to get back to work as soon as possible. "I live with my parents but pay half the mortgage. And I love my job. "The first couple of weeks were a little rough because I'm on my feet nearly all day, but my body adjusted," she continues. "I take precautions with lifting and I think I'm doing well; I'm no longer taking strong painkillers…no steroids or opiates…just Tylenol® with codeine at bedtime sometimes."
"Patients tell me that the nerve pain from a herniated disk is so much more severe than an arthritic hip," Dr. Tahernia says. "And the relief of that pain with spine surgery really is remarkable." Was there anything that could have been done for Sotomayor when she first hurt her back in 1994 that might have prevented the progressive worsening of the pain she experienced?
"The first thing is to intervene to control the pain," he says. "It could be medication and a short period of rest, then a slow resumption of activity and a good exercise program with core training. With many patients, there's a good chance they'll do well with this regimen. Physical therapy is a big piece of it."
"Surgery is appropriate when there's a mechanical problem that requires fixing," he continues. "You have to be clear about the diagnosis and have imaging studies that corroborate it."
"The vast majority of patients we see don't need surgery; they need properly directed care in a timely and efficient manner," he adds. "Unfortunately, workers' compensation patients can get lost in the shuffle; their disability stretches out and, like Gloria, they get worse over the years."
Dr. Tahernia commends Sotomayor for her commitment to getting back on her feet.
"She was a great patient and did very well," he says.
"I felt real peace of mind putting my back in Dr. Tahernia's hands," Sotomayor says. "When I first met him, I felt confident I was going to be OK."

Elisabeth Murdoch's Heroic Tale Of Struggle
Elisabeth Murdoch—the daughter of News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch, owner of all currently operating media outlets—has a personal story that Horatio Alger would appreciate. Sure, today she's the CEO of her own production company. But she started with nothing. Absolutely nothing. Elisabeth Murdoch was once a lowly, unappreciated "broke acquisitions executive" on the bottom rung of the ladder, according to Elisabeth Murdoch. In a recent speech to a crowd of other wealthy entertainment executives [Hollywood Reporter], she delivered a tale of woe and triumph that will serve as an inspiration to people who, like Murdoch, had to work their way up with pure grit:
As a buyer for the FX channel in the early nineties, Murdoch said she had virtually no acquisitions budget and spent time wandering the lower reaches of the Palais convention hall seeking out foreign formats.
"Ultimately it seemed that I was always being chatted up by quite elderly Teutonic broadcast executives who could tell how green I was by the titles on the one-sheets that I was clasping."
The young executive learned the ropes, she told the SRO hall, "through endless meals at the Majestic and drinks at the Carlton, while dreaming of one day staying in a hotel that was anywhere near the Croisette."
Through copious amounts of blood, sweat, and tears—combined only with her own inherent talent—she slowly rose through the ranks of the meritocracy.
It was not until she took over as BSkyB's content head that she secured the coveted balcony meetings with "actual Hollywood studio executives."
But when she began her own production venture, Shine, in 2001, it was back to the "bottom rung of the ladder," this time as a struggling indie producer.
"It was back to anonymity faster than you could say Martinez," she said. "I am not sure which was worse — the early days as a broke acquisitions executive or as an unknown producer peddling my wares."
You can say "Martinez" almost as fast as you can say "Murdoch."

Beautiful and sexy. A lot of cuties in that group. I like that the focus is on the women -- their faces and their naked bodies -- as they jerk it out. It's not just dicks, hands and cum. This one is better to stroke to, for me, than other handjob compilations.
Excellent points you make. The focus on the women 9as wellas the nice cocks) made this one better for me to stroke to also.
By far the best hand job music score I've seen, great jerk-off compilation as well!

The girl in pink tights is called Monica (there were 2 or 3 girls with this name on their website). If anyone finds her videos, that would be nice.

The music instantly ruins it. When will people who make compilations learn not to put background music? It ruins the video.
Didn't like the music but love the video. Nice balance between showing off the big (and genuinely aroused-looking) cocks and the hot, sexy, natural naked women. Great JO material here!
Sorry, but background music in porn is not cool!
Why do all these compilation vids have SHITTY MUSIC? Damn.......
As red hair is Alexa May
Who is the really busty brunette??
I DEMAND A PART 2! Great Vid.
A good handjob is great but nothing beats slipping into a nice juicy pussy and pumping your cum deep inside it.

Skip to comments.In case you care: Barney Frank is engaged
Posted on 01/26/2012 4:42:52 PM PST by SeekAndFind
What — did you think that because he is retiring from Congress you wouldn't have to hear about him ever again? Very sorry to bring him up, but here's a shameless bit of salacious gossip for y'all:
Engaged: Barney Frank, 71, and longtime partner Jim Ready, 42, the congressmans office confirmed for us Thursday, following a report by New England Cable News. Where? In Massachusetts, where gay nuptials were made legal in 2004. When? Sorry, thats all the details theyd give. Frank is set to leave Congress next winter after 32 years, and hes said the rigors of the job and the desire to devote more time to his relationship were factors. I have a partner now, Frank told Charlie Rose in an interview a couple weeks ago. Im in love for the first time in my life.
There's so much in that paragraph that I don't like (nor do I want to contemplate the report that Frank's partner is practically a Todd Palin lookalike), but if this Ready guy is one of the reasons he's retiring, well then … I offer a weird and conflicted "yay!" to this news. (We all know redistricting is the real reason for Frank's retirement — and, honestly, the definition of marriage is too important a cultural issue to make light of, but sometimes I laugh so as not to cry.)
Anyway. Let's move quickly to a more relevant related question: What was Mitt Romney's role in the legalization of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts in 2004? You might already know the answer, but I was fuzzy on the details, so I just spent a bit of time researching and am satisfied Romney's not to blame for Barney Frank's impending wedding.
As with so much of his political record, Romney's part in the Massachusetts marriage drama was constrained by certain inalterable parameters. In other words, the excuse for his participation in gay marriage legalization is the same as his excuse for many of the sketchier parts of his past: He was the governor of the blue-as-blue-can-be Bay State, remember?
As a quick refresher: In 2004, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ultimately determined that a ban on same-sex marriage was contrary to the constitution of the state — and gave the legislature 180 days to change the state's marriage laws accordingly. The legislature hadn't taken action by May 17, the fixed deadline, but, that day, then-Gov. Mitt Romney nevertheless ordered town clerks to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples so as to comply with the SJC's decision. Later, though, he fought to ensure that the Massachusetts legislature at least granted a vote to a voters' initiative to amend the state constitution to ban same-sex marriages. It was Gov. Deval Patrick who signed the repeal of a 1913 law that made it illegal for Massachusetts to grant a marriage license to non-resident couples if the marriage would be invalid in their home state. Deval's signature opened the floodgates for non-resident same-sex couples to receive marriage licenses from Massachusetts. So, Mitt had nothing to do with that.
On this, Mitt Romney's record is conflicted only because he demonstrated commitment to abiding by the state constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Judicial Court.
IBPUFTER (In Before Prayers Up For the Engaged Rockers)
EVERY time I see this headline today, up comes a visual image of Barney Frank in a wedding dress.
I wonder who will be specially invited to the occacions..
"...aw jeeeezzzz, the rest of the evening is wounnnned, such images floating around in utterwise delightfully empty space......wounnnnnnnned"
Who's going to be the best man, Matt Fudge?
I am sure that during the nuptials both will think of Romney with gratitude as they 'toast' each other.
By the way, which gets the chocolate cake? The pitcher or the catcher?
As Governor, Romney Said "I Do" To Gay Marriage AT Least 189 Times
As a gay-marriage proponent, I was pleased to learn that then-Governor Willard Mitt Romney (R Massachusetts) issued at least 189 special-issue, one-day marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2005 alone.
While Team Romney argues that the SJC forced it to give gay couples conventional marriage licenses, the special, one-day licenses are a strictly gubernatorial choice, as Massachusetts law unambiguously states:
Scott Helman and Scott S. Greenberger reported in the January 2, 2006 Boston Globe that The applications Romney approved from same-sex couples included at least four from state legislators, including Jarrett T. Barrios, a state senator from Cambridge, members of the clergy from out of state, family members, and friends.
If Romney truly opposed gay marriage as fervently as he claims, he could have exercised his discretion and refused to grant these one-day licenses to same-sex couples. A tougher-but-fairer policy would have denied such licenses to everyone gay or straight. Instead, under no obligation to do so, Romney chose to give these particular licenses to gay couples.
Fans of gay marriage should thank Romney for these 189 or more instances in which he voluntarily used his gubernatorial authority to unite these same-sex couples so they might live happily ever after.
Foes of gay matrimony should ask Willard Mitt Romney if he really meant it when he said, I have never supported same-sex marriage. If so, why did he use his discretionary power to do just that at least 189 times?
Now that there is funny!
I don't care that he is pretending to be engaged, nor will I care if he eventually pretends to be married. I just wish he would stop spending my tax dollars, because that's not pretend, and it's harming my children and my (eventual) grandchildren.
Barney's best is behind him.
RE: Theyll probably get married on February 19...
Is there anything special about that date?
Did they invite Dick Assman to the wedding?
The McGreevey defense with a twist; a gay marriage!

Treaty of Accession to the European Union [Official Journal L 236 of 23.09.2003]
In its July 1997 Opinion the Commission took the view that it was too early to decide on Latvia's participation in the euro area immediately upon its accession. Its participation in the third stage of economic and monetary union (EMU) while not being a member of the euro area continued to pose problems. It would be necessary in particular for the legislation on the central bank to be made compatible with Community requirements. As for the movement of capital, Latvia had already achieved almost complete liberalisation, and the removal of the remaining restrictions should not present any major difficulty.
The November 1998 Report noted that some progress has been made in preparing for accession to economic and monetary union.
In its October 1999 Report, the Commission observed that Latvia had made important progress in preparing for accession to EMU, especially as regards the independence of its central bank.
The November 2000 Report noted that no new legislation had been enacted since the last regular report.
In its November 2001 Report, the Commission noted that, overall, Latvian legislation was broadly in line with the acquis.
In its October 2002 Report, the Commission found that, since the last regular report, Latvia had made progress in adopting the acquis.
In its November 2003 Report, the Commission found that, overall, Latvia is fulfilling the commitments and requirements arising from the accession negotiations and will be able to apply the corresponding acquis from the date of its accession.
The Treaty of Accession was signed on 16 April 2003 and accession took place on 1 May 2004.
The third stage of EMU began on 1 January 1999. This date will entail far-reaching changes for all Member States, even those not taking part in the euro area from the outset.
In the economic sphere, the keystone is the coordination of national policies (national convergence programmes, general economic guidelines, multilateral surveillance and excessive-deficit procedure). All countries are required to comply with the Stability and Growth Pact, to refrain from direct financing of the government deficit by the central bank, to prohibit privileged access by public authorities to financial institutions and to have liberalised capital movements.
Member States not taking part in the euro area conduct an independent monetary policy and participate in the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) under certain conditions. Central banks must be independent and must have price stability as their primary objective. Lastly, exchange-rate policy is regarded as a matter of common interest by all Member States, which must be in a position to participate in the new exchange-rate mechanism.
Even though accession entails acceptance of the objective of EMU, compliance with the convergence criteria is not a precondition. However, since those criteria are indicative of a macroeconomic policy geared to achieving stability, all Member States must, in due course, comply with them on a permanent basis.
Latvia did not gain its independence until 1991. It has had to rebuild a market economy and establish new institutions. The reforms therefore began late and moved at a fairly slow pace. Latvia made significant progress in establishing a stable macroeconomic framework and a market economy up to 1998. It is on course to being able, in the medium term, to withstand competitive pressures and market forces within the EU. The 1999 Report considered that Latvia could be viewed as a functioning market economy. In Latvia the economy is very open and its commercial integration with the EU is progressing steadily. Per capita gross domestic product (GDP) stood at 33.1% of the EU average in 2001.
As regards economic activity, GDP growth of 6.5% in 1997 was particularly high. The Latvian economy was seriously affected by the Russian crisis as of the second half of 1998. GDP growth consequently fell to 3.6%. The economic recession after the 1998 Russian crisis was followed by a vigorous recovery. Led by exports, investment and private consumption, GDP increased to 6.6% in 2000 and 7.7% in 2001 despite a slowdown in the global economy. The annual increase in real GDP averaged some 6.1% in the period covered by the Commission's reports. The 2003 Report finds that economic activity has remained firm despite a weak external environment. GDP growth remained strong in 2002, at 6.1%. It gathered further momentum in the first quarter of 2003 and amounted to 8.8% over twelve months.
As regards the public finances, the Government's general budget showed a surplus equivalent to 1.8% of GDP in 1997. In 1998 the general government budget showed a financial surplus equivalent to 0.3% of GDP. The subsequent stagnation of economic growth produced a general government deficit equivalent to 4.2% of GDP in 1999. The deficit fell to 2.8% in 2000 and continued to fall in subsequent years, reaching 1.6% of GDP in 2001. The Finance Law 2002 provides for an increase in the budget deficit to an anticipated 2.75%. Since 1999 budgetary policy has been aimed at attaining a balanced budget in the medium term. General government average gross debt throughout the period in question is, in comparison, fairly low, equivalent to 13.6% of GDP. It has increased each year and in 2001 it rose by 2.1 percentage points to 16% of GDP. The 2003 Report finds that the budgetary reform process has stalled and that budgetary policy became more expansionary in 2002. As a result, the general government deficit increased to 3%. The general government debt, however, remains relatively low and was equivalent to 15.2% of GDP in 2002.
Since mid-1997 there has been a steady resurgence in inflation. In August 1999 the year-on-year rate of inflation was 2.1%, compared with 3.5% in September 1998. Throughout 1999 inflation remained low in Latvia, averaging 2.4%, but rose to 3.7% in April 2000. Price increases averaged 2.6% in 2000 and 2.5% in 2001. The figure for the period covered by the Commission's reports was 3.9%. Inflation fell to 2% in 2002 but nevertheless rose to 2.5% in April 2003.
On the exchange-rate front, the main objective of Latvian monetary policy is to maintain a fixed parity against a basket of currencies. During the summer of 1999 the currency had to cope with strains resulting from concern over the growing budget deficit. However, the central bank considers that it is technically able to link the currency to the euro at any time. In 1999 the lat rose by 4.7% against the currencies of Latvia's main trading partners. The 2001 Report considers that the central bank's monetary policy, involving a currency peg that has helped to secure price stability, has been successful. The 2003 Report notes that monetary conditions remain favourable to a currency peg and have therefore contributed to macroeconomic stability.
Latvia's current-account deficit is still large and is tending to widen with the acceleration in growth. In 1997 it amounted to 6.3% of GDP. Since the onset of the Russian crisis in August 1998, exports to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) fell by almost half. Since the end of 1999 the current-account deficit, while remaining significant, has improved slightly. Reflecting the satisfactory export performance, it narrowed sharply to 9.6% of GDP in 1999 and to 6.8% in 2000. In 2001 it rose to 9.7%. It averaged 8.6% of GDP in the period covered by the Commission's reports. The 2003 Report finds that the current-account deficit has been reduced to 7.7% of GDP, which nevertheless remains a relatively high figure.
Regarding structural reforms, Latvia has made considerable progress. According to the timetable that was fixed, 95% of former state enterprises were to be privatised by 1 July 1998. The privatisation process is being implemented and the private sector now accounts for 65% of GDP and for 69% of employment in Latvia. In 2000 the government continued to make good the structural deficiencies in the economy. Substantial progress has been made in the financial sector and initial steps have been taken to reform the pension system. The restructuring of the Latvian banking sector has been practically completed. The 2001 Report notes that the level of unemployment, although high, is fairly stable. The level of education in Latvia is relatively high. The structural development of the economy has been considerable but has slowed recently. The Government has pursued a policy of privatisation. Restructuring plans are being implemented for state enterprises that are not to be privatised. Pension reform is being implemented as planned. Progress has been made in applying active labour market policies but several structural rigidities remain.
As for the independence of the central bank, legislation enacted in 1998 prohibited the granting of short-term credit to the State. Latvia has made substantial progress in its preparations for joining EMU next year. The central bank no longer has the right to buy state loans on the primary markets and the public authorities no longer enjoy privileged access to financial institutions. Nevertheless, the 2000 Report demanded that the definitions of public debt and public deficit be brought into line with the requirements of the acquis. However, the legal instrument establishing the Bank of Latvia still contains grounds for dismissing its effects that may well be contrary to the acquis. In June 2002 new legislation on the Bank of Latvia was adopted in order to bring it more in line with the provisions of the acquis relating to the requirement of the Bank's independence, particularly where the grounds for dismissing members of its governing board are concerned. The 2003 Report finds that Latvian law is in accordance with the acquis except for one area: Latvia still needs further amendments to the law on the central bank in order to guarantee the personal independence of the members of the board.
Regarding the state of negotiations, Latvia has indicated its readiness to accept the acquis relating to EMU and to comply with it fully. It has achieved a high level of compliance with that part of the acquis and has established the necessary administrative capabilities. Negotiations concerning the present chapter were concluded in December 2002. Latvia has not requested a transitional regime. In general, it is complying with the undertakings given in the accession negotiations in this area.

Jorge Soler has official signed his nine-year $30 million deal today. With the signing the Cubs have officially added him to the 40-man roster. Jed Hoyer said he will start in the minor leagues as a right fielder. He will report to Mesa, but where he will go after that is yet to be decided. There is no timetable on how quickly he will move through the system, but one thing is for sure the Cubs have added a top prospect, with big power potential to the club and hopefully in the next couple weeks we can add first round pick Albert Almora into the fold as well.
Thanks for Reading,

text: I'm on record as believing that the over-saturation of Trek during the late nineties lead to it's downfall. I'm worried that the same thing is happening again. Currently we have HD season one of ENT, HD season three of TNG and the Nu-Trek all vying for our money. I could afford to buy all these things but I do not have the time to watch them. I have a family, my time with them is precious, so I will choose to see the new movie this month (I am only halfway through season two of the HD TNG and ENT was never big on my list anyway). But I got thinking - I hope my (and other peoples) decision does not affect any possible future remaster of DS9. Why the big rush to get it all out anyway? They rushed season two TNG and look how that turned out. Surely we'd be happy with two releases a year, done well? Think of the parable of the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Nebraska improved to 3-0 on the season on Saturday after the 51-38 win over Washington.
Here is the final report card grade out from Saturday's win over the Huskies.
Rushing offense: A
Nebraska dominated this aspect of the game, rushing for 309 yard on 55 carries to go along with four touchdowns. Maybe most impressively they grinded it out on the ground with consistent runs of 4 to 6 yards. In the third quarter alone NU rushed for 131 yards highlighted by a nine play 86 yard scoring drive that featured eight running plays. This was the consistency that has been missing the last two weeks and the offensive line did a great job of opening up holes the entire game. Rex Burkhead led the way with 120 yards and two touchdowns, while Taylor Martinez had 83 yards. Freshmen running backs Aaron Green and Braylon Heard combined for 70 yards on 10 carries off the bench. It was good that Tim Beck was able to get these guys going after not seeing the field last week against Fresno State.
Passing offense: B-
Martinez missed some guys open down field today and had a couple of moments that made you hold your breath, but the bottom line is he got the job done. Martinez was 10-of-21 for 155 yards, but he didn't throw a single interception. On the game's opening play he connected with Kenny Bell for 50 yards and he also threw a perfect ball to Green on a wheel route for a 25 yard touchdown. This offense continues to take steps in the right direction and I thought Martinez took a step forward in the passing game today. I still think he needs to work on being more consistent on his short routes and also not locking in on his first read down field.
Rushing defense: C
It was a so-so performance for Nebraska's rushing defense. Chris Polk finished with 22 carries for 130 yards and a touchdown, which was right around his average going into the game. Polk is a talented running back and maybe the best back NU will see all season. He's going to get his yards, and for the most part Nebraska kept him in check when it mattered. Defensively the Blackshirts did a great job of setting the tone in the third quarter by forcing Washington into a key three-and-out, which fueled NU's 27 point scoring run.
Passing defense: D
Senior corner Alfonzo Dennard was close to playing Saturday. He went through some of pregame warm-ups and Carl Pelini said he's 95 percent right now and the 5 percent for him is probably more mental than anything. The bottom line is NU's secondary desperately needs Dennard back. Keith Price threw for 274 yards and four touchdowns, as Washington was 7-of-14 on third downs. Andrew Green continues to struggle at times in coverage, while there were also multiple missed tackles in space. Austin Cassidy and Lavonte David came up with big interceptions though to help seal the deal for the Huskers on defense.
Special teams: B
Mistakes and penalties on special teams were the story of this game on Saturday. Nebraska made a couple of mistakes on special teams, but Washington made several that ultimately played a huge hand in the final outcome of this game. Ameer Abdullah had a 66 yard kick return and averaged 41 yards on four kick returns. Brett Maher shanked one punt, but still averaged 40.8 yards on four attempts and was perfect on three field goal tries. Eric Martin made his presence felt on kick coverage for the first time this season.

At this point in the season there's very little left in the free agent pool, but looking at our lineup we might want to look at a late addition.
With Jeffries out and I believe Jordan currently in the D-League (probably will be recalled soon), our lineup is very small.
Chandler, Jorts, "Novak" are our only 3 available bigs right now possibly Jordan when he comes back but he's very very raw.
Would you rather take a gamble on Jordan/an FA or do you think Mike Woodson will prefer to go small?
Potential lineups:
And that's if Melo even manages to play after the groin tweak. We all know what happened last time the groin took him out.

The summer is winding down and those awful sunburns are slowly fading into golden tans.
Here at AMP Radio, we've spent many weekends at the Santa Monica Surf Hut, cheered on runners in the Irvine Mud Run, had bonfires at Dockweiler Beach, and watched fireworks at the Belmont Pier.
We're looking forward to the remaining backyard BBQ's and trips to the beach, so we came up with a few songs to enjoy these final weeks of uninterrupted sunshine.
10. "Party Rock Anthem" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]LMFAO [/lastfm]
This is undeniably the hit of the summer.
[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]LMFAO[/lastfm] reminds us to keep shufflin' all day, every day whether it's on the beach or in the club!
9. "Circus" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Britney Spears[/lastfm]
No matter what the temperature is outside, Britney always keeps it hot.
"Circus" is the perfect song for laying out on your beach towel.
While you're busy catching some rays, "all eyes" will be on you!
8. "Summer Love" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Justin Timberlake[/lastfm]
Aren't summer romances the best?
You've had your fun and before you know it, it's time to go home and tell all your friends all about the hottie you met during your summer vacation!
7. "Beautiful Girls" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Sean Kingston[/lastfm]
Summer can be pretty intimidating when everyone is showing off their beach bods, so [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Sean Kingston[/lastfm] is here to give us that little confidence boost!
Sigh…now all we need to do is meet a REAL boyfriend instead of crushing on Kingston and his adorable love songs!
6. "The Lazy Song" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bruno Mars[/lastfm]
Summer vacay is all about kicking back and doing absolutely nothing, so clearly Bruno was onto something good when he wrote this relaxed track.
All we need is a pool, a bikini, and a fruity drink and we'll be set!
5. "Where Them Girls At" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]David Guetta[/lastfm] feat. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Nicki Minaj[/lastfm] & [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Flo Rida[/lastfm]
"Where them girls at?" At the beach, obviously!
This fun little summer jam is perfect for a party with all your favorite girlfriends.
Just imagine yourself strutting on the sand to this beat!
4. "I'm In Miami, Trick" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]LMFAO[/lastfm]
South Beach, the Bahamas, or LA: it doesn't matter where you're vegging poolside this summer.
You gotta rep your hometown and this anthem gives great instructions for doing your city proud.
Plus, who doesn't look cute rocking a polka-dot bikini?
3. "Temperature" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Sean Paul[/lastfm]
When the thermometer nears triple digits, sometimes all the sun and sweat can get to us.
Luckily, this old [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Sean Paul[/lastfm] single reminds us of how hot and sexy summer can be.Vodpod videos no longer available.
2. "Hot In Herre" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Nelly[/lastfm]
This song never seems to get old.
It's so catchy, it makes us forget it that it's almost too "hot in herre" to breathe.
Plus, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Nelly[/lastfm] has a point; taking off some clothes might cool us off a little bit, by getting in the ocean, of course!
1. "California Gurls" — [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Katy Perry[/lastfm]
When it came to choosing our #1 song, California native [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Katy Perry[/lastfm] immediately came to mind!
She reminds us that we live in the best state there is, especially because of our daisy dukes and bikinis on top.
That must be why people across the globe flock to LA, all the pretty girls!
- Do you have a favorite summer song you like to blast at the beach? Give us your suggestions in the comments!

The Naked Justin Bieber Pic Is Probably Not Justin Bieber (UPDATE)
The internet has been freaking out over the possibility of a Justin Bieber sex tape since Bieber revealed that a camera and computer with his "personal footage" had been stolen.
So far, there's no video, but a supposed nude photo of Justin is floating around Twitter and Tumblr. Before you get too excited, the naked guy's head is cropped out of the photo, so there's no way to prove anything. But in case you're interested, a quick Google search will get you there.
OK, let's talk about this. Justin Bieber does have a bird tattoo on his hip. Of course, that's exactly the kind of detail that even a Photoshop novice could add to the pic. Also, closer inspection of the tattoo — hey, I'm just doing my job — reveals that it doesn't quite match. It could be the quality of the nude pic, but it's more likely just not the same tattoo.
Is Justin Bieber uncircumcised? That's tougher to say. According to the quite possibly reliable A Gallery of Famous Intact Men, he is, in fact, uncut. Their source: "My nephew went to school with him." Good enough.
But the most damning evidence against this being an actual photo of Justin's junk is that the same pic apparently existed on Tumblr before anything was stolen. Amelia McDonell-Parry at The Frisky says she saw it in a blog post from 10 months ago.
To conclude, all we really know is that it's a penis, and that Justin Bieber's "personal footage" was stolen. Also, Justin Bieber has a dumb tattoo.
UPDATE: As many commenters have pointed out, the bellybuttons do not match, so we can say conclusively that the naked guy is not Justin Bieber. Because some people were concerned about the age of the person in the nude photo, it has been removed.

No worries about Kimbrel at start of spring games
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- While pitching in foreign situations and strengthening their arms, baseball's most dominant closers often encounter some rough outings during the Grapefruit League season.
But it was still somewhat odd to see Craig Kimbrel allow a pair of hits and a run in the third inning of Monday's 7-6 win over the Marlins at Champion Stadium. The All-Star allowed just one hit and worked eight scoreless innings in Grapefruit League play last year.
"You don't worry about that stuff," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "You worry about them getting their arms in shape and getting ready for the season."
Kimbrel surrendered a ground-rule double to Chris Coghlan to begin the third inning and a two-out RBI single to Joe Mahoney. Still, his command was better than it was on Friday, when he issued a pair of walks in his Grapefruit League debut.
Kimbrel will make two more appearances before leaving camp on Sunday to compete with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.
Medlen admits to butterflies under calm exterior
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Kris Medlen has never understood why he has been described as a fun-loving, unflappable individual who is never unnerved by any situation.
"Everyone is like, 'Kris walks around and he is all relaxed,'" Medlen said. "I'm like, 'No, I think I'm just deflecting how nervous I am by sitting and talking to whoever and about whatever else.'"
Medlen captured the attention of the baseball world when he went 9-0 with a 0.97 ERA in the 12 starts he made after moving from the bullpen to the rotation last year. That stands as the lowest ERA produced by any Major League pitcher with at least 12 starts in a season.
Still, he admits that before he made his Grapefruit League debut in Monday's 7-6 win over the Marlins, he was battling some nerves. He responded by extending his therapeutic practice of eating a peanut butter-and-honey sandwich before the game.
"First time every spring, you just get the nerves, because baseball is back," Medlen said. "You've thrown bullpens and live BPs, but it's not really the same."
Making his first appearance since taking the loss in last year's one-game Wild Card playoff, against the Cardinals, Medlen surrendered a pair of first-inning singles and then did not allow another hit in his two scoreless innings. He recorded a pair of strikeouts and threw 19 of his 31 pitches for strikes.
"I felt pretty good," he said. "I didn't throw many changeups. I threw more curveballs and fastballs more than anything. That's all I really focus on this early."
Chris Coghlan began the game by hitting a 2-0 fastball to right field for a single. Joe Mahoney added an infield single before Medlen escaped the first inning unscathed. Dan Uggla's inability to field Adeiny Hechavarria's grounder served as the second inning's only blemish.
If the Braves keep their projected starters on a strict schedule of pitching once every five days through the end of March, Medlen would be lined up to make the April 1 Opening Day start, against the Phillies. But he believes the honor should go to the veteran Tim Hudson.
"I haven't even done the math on that," he said. "I'm just going out there getting my job done and just trying to execute my pitches. I'm not worried about that at all. I said a couple of times that Huddy deserves it. He's our leader, and he's our guy."
Worth noting
• Yohan Flande nearly made the Opening Day roster last year after allowing just one run in 12 1/3 Grapefruit League innings. But things might be different this year, as he allowed five earned runs and six hits in just one inning on Monday.
• Uggla has committed two errors through his first three games of the spring.
