WASHINGTON (AP) -- A senator touted as a possible running mate for Mitt Romney says President Barack Obama's administration treats religious freedom as "a second-class right."
Ohio Sen. Rob Portman told the Faith and Freedom Coalition that conscience rights were "treated as a mere afterthought or inconvenience" in the mandate forcing employers to provide insurance coverage for contraceptives and sterilizations.
Portman said it's particularly objectionable that religious exemptions only apply if charities turn away people of other faiths.
Another Republican vice-presidential prospect, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, said people of faith aren't trying to impose their religion on others, but want to live out their faith without government interference.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said the government must be stopped from "purging faith from the American way of life."

Cow Eye Anatomy:
1. Sclera - Tough, white outer covering of the eyeball.
2. Optic Nerve - A bundle of nerve fibers carrying information from the retina to the brain.
3. Cornea - Covering the iris and the pupil, the cornea is a tough and clear covering that begins bending light to make an image.
4. Aqueous Humor - Clear fluid that helps the cornea maintain its shape.
5. Pupil - A dark circle in the center of the iris which allows light into the inner eye. This cow pupil is oval, however the human pupil is round.
6. Iris - Controlling how much light enters the eye, this muscle can change shape to focus on near and far objects. The iris is suspended between the cornea and the lens.
7. Blind Spot - Lacking light sensitive cells, this spot in the eye is the place where the optic nerve leaves the retina.
8. Retina - A layer of light sensitive cells covering the tapetum. Connected to the brain through the optic nerve, the retina detects images focused by the cornea and the lens.
9. Tapetum - This shiny, pearl - looking material located behind the retina reflects light back through the retina.
10. Lens - The lens makes images on the eye's retina; it is usually clear and flexible, however it has hardened while this cow eye was preserved.
11. Vitreous Humor - Clear, thick jelly that maintains the eyeball's shape.

Yo Adrian! T-Paw says he's Rocky Balboa [VIDEO]
The real Italian Stallion
Tim Pawlenty made another trip to New Hampshire over the weekend, putting in an appearance at a Republican picnic, laying the groundwork for his I-haven't-decided-whether-to-run presidential campaign. And he told a funny story: He's Rocky Balboa -- the Italian Stallion.
As the locals noshed, he related a story about not wanting to run for governor at the end of Jesse Ventura's second term in 2002.
"It's time to move on," he told his wife. "Mary came across the room. She grabbed me by the lapels, literally, and looked at me. She said, "You can't quit!"
(The trumpets sound. T-Paw yanks on his running sweats. He heads for the steps at the Capitol in St. Paul.)
"You can't quit! Everything we've worked for. Everything we stand for!"
(Growing strong now!)
"You've gotta get in there and fight! You've gotta move forward for Minnesota and for the conservative cause!"
(Won't be long now!)
I thought, wow," T-Paw tells the smiling New Hampshire folk, "I'm Rocky Balboa!"
(Yo Adrian!)
It's a great line. The crowd laughs. Here's the video.
And here's Sly:

I went to an amazing vegan beer and food festival a couple weeks ago. I've found that people get the food part. No meat: check. No eggs: check. No dairy: check. But beer? How can you have beer that isn't vegan?
The fact is, there are many non-vegan products and ingredients that are often used in the production of beer. And wine — but that's a separate post; we'll stick with beer. A few of the most common?
- Fish bladder
- Gelatin, from the skin, connective tissue, and bones of animals
- Charcoal, a portion of which is usually produced from animal bones
- Insects, made into dyes and used for coloring
- Pepsin, used to control foam and sometimes derived from pork
- White sugar, often whitened using animal bone charcoal
- Water soluble protein; the most common type in brewing is serum albumin, which is taken from animal blood
- Lactose – Beers labeled as sweet, milk, or cream stouts may or may not contain lactose. Sometimes the description refers to the texture and not the ingredient. It's best to double check these to be sure.

Take 10 Minutes for Breakfast
A whole grain cereal with fruit and skim milk adds up to a healthy dose of fiber, loads of calcium and antioxidants, and protection against weight gain.
Take 10 Minutes for Lunch
You'll save not only money by making a sandwich at home but hundreds of calories over the typical fast food fare. And you'll gain a big nutritional boost.
Take 10 Minutes for Dinner
Believe it or not, research suggests it takes on average only ten minutes more of hands-on time to prepare an evening meal from scratch compared with using only prepackaged dishes.

Verve 2010
Intermedia Arts is host to the only spoken-word grants in the United States, and better proof of Minnesota's dedication to supporting spoken-word development is hard to find. This Saturday, winners of the 2009 VERVE grant come together to demonstrate what that investment in the arts can do. The showcase features poets, hip-hop artists, and activists. Kyle "Guante" Myhre uses his rough voice and simple, eloquent symbolism to bring working-class issues to the stage. Tou Saiko Lee, a preeminent Hmong hip-hop artist, threads images of injustice and refugee experience through a Midwest hip-hop beat, shedding light on Minnesotan immigrant experiences. Tish Jones is an outspoken organizer for youth voice whose raw renderings of social issues and personal struggles pop with wordplay. Khary Jackson brings the same dramatic and comedic talent that has had him in the top 10 slam poets in the world for the past three years, including his spiritual edge and crooked, nerdy humor. The group is rounded out by Poetic Assassins, a duo who represent a transcendental hip-hop style. Check out Intermedia's website for more information, and to see these performers coming together to form POETRON, some sort of 1980s children's superhero. (Pictured: Kyle Myhre)

Kelly not paying attention to NFL teams
By RALPH D. RUSSO
Associated Press
MIAMI — Brian Kelly says leaving Notre Dame "isn't an option." Alabama's Nick Saban says he has no "unfinished business" in the NFL.
While Oregon coach Chip Kelly ponders which NFL job — if any — he wants, the coaches getting ready to meet in the BCS championship said during media day at Sun Life Stadium that they have no interest in jumping to the pros.
Brian Kelly is in his third season with the top-ranked Fighting Irish and has led them to an undefeated season. Notre Dame will try to win its first national championship since 1988 by beating No. 2 Alabama on Monday night.
The 51-year-old Kelly has steadily climbed the coaching ladder, from Grand Valley State to Central Michigan to Cincinnati to Notre Dame, winning big at every stop along the way.
The next logical step would be the NFL, but for now, he said he has no desire to give it a try.
"Leaving is not an option. I don't even think about it," he said Saturday.
Chip Kelly is being courted by the Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills. There haven't been the same type of rumors and speculation about Brian Kelly.
He said even if an NFL team was interested in talking to him about a job vacancy, he wouldn't know.
He said there is a strict protocol in place and any NFL team would have to speak with his agent first, and that information wouldn't be passed along to him until after the BCS championship game.
"I think from my perspective I've got the best job in the country, NFL, college, high school, whatever," Kelly said. "I just look at the place that I'm at and thankful for the opportunity that I have."
Saban, who did a two-year stint with the Miami Dolphins before taking the Alabama job in 2007, doesn't seem to have any interest in going back. But the rumors about NFL teams being interested in the Crimson Tide coach come up just about every year.
"I don't have any unfinished business in the NFL," Saban said. "It's not something I'm concerned about. It's not even anything I want to do."
It's getting easier to believe the 61-year old Saban with every passing year, but the way he left the Dolphins will always leave some doubting what he says.
"I guess I have to say it. I'm not going to be the Alabama coach," Saban said on Dec. 21, 2006, two weeks before he became Alabama coach.
Saban has a chance to win his third national title in the last four seasons with the Crimson Tide, and fourth championship overall. He also won one in 2003 with the LSU. He left the Tigers for the Dolphins after the 2004 season and went 15-17 in two seasons with Miami.
"I'm not looking for new challenges," he said. "I'm just trying to take advantage of helping the challenging situation that we have and continue to be successful."

Not enough for my dry skin
Posted by Reviewer3319467 on Jun 27, 2012
This lotion may work well for someone who has a normal to oily skin. Feeling of use is very light. I have used this lotion in the past winter, and it is not enough to moisturize my dry skin.
We liked it
Posted by lonelywe on Nov 03, 2013
Moisturizes great, smells lovely but for me the smell was too sweet and finally it starts to bother. But in general this lotion is one of the best we have tried.
very good!
Posted by JuliaTi on Jan 04, 2014
Non-greasy, well moisturizing lotion. Helps to prevent dryness even after 12 hours after use. Nice smell.
Pretty good
Posted by Reviewer3165449 on Dec 16, 2011
This is a pretty good lotion. It has a nice clean scent that seems to go away after a few seconds of using it and it moisturizes pretty well on dry skin. I am still looking for a lotion that does well on wet skin after a shower, but this is better than Nature's Gate, in my opinion. Would be better if it had a pump dispenser.
Strong smell
Posted by Reviewer1097777 on Dec 26, 2013
Claims there's natural fragrance but smells like chemicals to me and for the price which is cheap for a big bottle I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't real natural fragrance. I say if the price is too good to be true for something so natural must be something wrong with it.

Herald rating: * *
Verdict: Jolie is way OTT in a glum overblown drama.
The second film in two weeks from veteran Eastwood does more than plead with Academy voters to pick Jolie as best actress; it browbeats them. A vote for anyone else, her tearful performance seems to tell us, would be a vote for child abuse.
In a film that calls itself "a true story" (no "based on" disclaimers here), she plays Christine Collins, a solo mum in LA in 1928 whose nine-year-old son, Walter, disappears while she is at work.
The initial condescending indifference of the police - the little scamp will show up, they say - foreshadows a later response much more malevolent. But when they announce that they have found Walter in Illinois and stage a public reunion amid press fanfare, things get really messy.
In short, Christine knows the boy is not her son and her objections are treated as deluded, then hysterical and then dangerously lunatic.
It's a story dramatic enough to tell straight, but Eastwood shoots it as a horror movie, full of dark shadows and ghostly thugs in white coats, and it's gloomy, glum and depressing.
Malkovich plays a crusading priest dedicated to exposing corruption in the LAPD but his monotones and too-steady stare make him more scary than the villains and we keep wanting to scream at Christine to get away from him.
She wouldn't have heard us above her own noise. Her overblown act, which relies on bellowing "What have you done with my son?" in a variety of locations, has all the nuance of her work as Lara Croft, Tomb Raider. It's a shrill, one-note performance which makes us wish they would give her kid back so she would shut the hell up.
Worst of all, when the film reaches some sort of resolution, J. Michael Straczynski's ponderous, opaque script launches into an entirely new narrative, a police procedural in which a good cop (Kelly) wants to find out what happened. Not as long as Ben Hur, but it sure seems like it. Lovely costume and production design, though.

Not sure if they're being literal or not w/the 'vampire' reference (lotta gamer-goth's do actually tend to work nights, true to form), but yeah - nightshift work in this city kind of bites (no pun intended). I worked nights a few years (wrecked my sleeping patterns and general health as a result) and found that the only places to really go were Minnies (blah), The Hurrican (blech!), and the 5pt (ok). The places that really were favored were those that served just after 6am. Toward the end, a few hotel bars were hip to serving, but again, you're kind of chased out by the 'brunching tourists'. I guess everyone who works nights somehow thinks it'll be all Edward Hopper Diners with few patrons, cheap prices and endless time to read and write your great novel while the world sleeps. Doesn't quite work that way.
Even St. Paul, MN has us beat on the late night eats. Man, I miss Mickey's Dining Car.
I like Mike Lewis. Personable guy and he doesn't smell terrible. Oh, and the writing's good, too.
when i was working nights i was part zombie, don't know if that helps
I too work night shift (including tonight, blech!) and I have noticed my canine teeth getting longer and i want to bite people's necks more than i used to before i went to night shift. also, the bus service is totally useless at night getting to work.
I'll miss Minnies....having gone there on each of my visits to the fair city
Mr. Poe is a vampire.
Minnies blows.
I too work nights. CC Attle used to be nice to go to in the AM for steak and booze, even if I did get funny looks for being straight. It's not what it used to be though.

I've just read this useful thread from last year. It's sort of what I want to do, but not quite: I'm trying to create an internal blog only available to registered users. This means sharing registered user info between each set of tables. Looking at this bug ticket it is possible, but I can't find any details on how to do it.
Any help appreciated!

Right now, I'm reading:
Joe Hill's NOS4A2
My favorite story of all time is:
Alice in Wonderland.
In bed I like to read:
mindless teen novels that I've read a thousand times. The plots make me laugh.
If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about?
I got involved in a thousand activities, and, consequently, haven't slept in four days. Or I broke my computer.
What six words would I tell my teen self if I could go back in time?
I still am my teen self.
The song that encapsulates the soundtrack of my life is?
"Be Yourself" by Audioslave
If I could have one person read my writing on SMITH it would be?
Someone it would impact. I strive to change lives.

AbstractThe effects of structural design parameters on the performance of nano-replicated photonic crystal (PC) label-free biosensors were examined by the analysis of simulated reflection spectra of PC structures. The grating pitch, duty, scaled grating height and scaled TiO2 layer thickness were selected as the design factors to optimize the PC structure. The peak wavelength value (PWV), full width at half maximum of the peak, figure of merit for the bulk and surface sensitivities, and surface/bulk sensitivity ratio were also selected as the responses to optimize the PC label-free biosensor performance. A parametric study showed that the grating pitch was the dominant factor for PWV, and that it had low interaction effects with other scaled design factors. Therefore, we can isolate the effect of grating pitch using scaled design factors. For the design of PC-label free biosensor, one should consider that: (1) the PWV can be measured by the reflection peak measurement instruments, (2) the grating pitch and duty can be manufactured using conventional lithography systems, and (3) the optimum design is less sensitive to the grating height and TiO2 layer thickness variations in the fabrication process. In this paper, we suggested a design guide for highly sensitive PC biosensor in which one select the grating pitch and duty based on the limitations of the lithography and measurement system, and conduct a multi objective optimization of the grating height and TiO2 layer thickness for maximizing performance and minimizing the influence of parameter variation. Through multi-objective optimization of a PC structure with a fixed grating height of 550 nm and a duty of 50%, we obtained a surface FOM of 66.18 RIU−1 and an S/B ratio of 34.8%, with a grating height of 117 nm and TiO2 height of 210 nm.

An attempt has been made to determine the best fitting distribution to describe the annual series of maximum daily rainfall data for the period 1966 to 2007 of nine distantly located stations in North East India. The LH-moments of order zero (L) to order four (L4) are used to estimate the parameters of three extreme value distributions viz. generalized extreme value distribution (GEV), generalized logistic distribution (GLD), and generalized Pareto distribution (GPD). The performances of the distributions are assessed by evaluating the relative bias (RBIAS) and relative root mean square error (RRMSE) of quantile estimates through Monte Carlo simulations. Then, the boxplot is used to show the location of the median and the associated dispersion of the data. Finally, it can be revealed from the results of boxplots that zero level of LH-moments of the generalized Pareto distribution would be appropriate to the majority of the stations for describing the annual maximum rainfall series in North East India.

Ding, Dong, the Cultural Witch Hunt Is Dead
Published: February 24, 2002
(Page 3 of 4)
What makes history that seemed ugly at the time play like farce now is the almost unending hypocrisy of so many of Brock's circle in journalism and politics. Those who led the charge against the morality of Anita Hill, Bill Clinton and the rest were almost to a man and woman living in glasshouses of their own, whether pursuing sex, alcohol, abortion or some combination thereof. The checkered ''family values'' of the likes of Gingrich, Scaife, Dan Burton, Henry Hyde, Bob Livingston and The Wall Street Journal's anti-Clinton polemicist John Fund, among many others, are now part of the historical record. Clarence Thomas's history of regularly renting pornography in the 1980's -- documented by the Wall Street Journal reporters Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson (Abramson is now the Washington bureau chief of The Times) in their book ''Strange Justice'' -- also stands virtually unchallenged, now that Brock has withdrawn his previous rebuttal of it. It's particularly hilarious that The Washington Times was the paper of record (and of frequent employment) for this whole pious crowd, given that its owner, Moon, with his mass weddings of mostly strangers, probably took more direct action to undermine the institution of marriage in America than any single person in the 20th century, the Gabor sisters included.
For a political movement that wanted to police sexual ''lifestyles'' and was pathologically obsessed with trying to find evidence that Hillary Clinton was a lesbian, the New Right of the 90's was, in Brock's account, nearly as gay as a soiree in Fire Island Pines. Even before Brock publicly acknowledged his own homosexuality at the height of his fame, he tapped into a Washington subculture of closeted conservatives that seemed to hold forth everywhere from The American Spectator to the closest circles around Gingrich and Kenneth Starr. There is, of course, a long history of usually closeted gay men, some but not all of them public homophobes, on the American right, including Roy Cohn, J. Edgar Hoover and such top Reagan-era operatives as Terry Dolan, Marvin Liebman and even Jesse Helms's political consultant, Arthur Finkelstein. The same goes for such intellectual patron saints of conservatism as Chambers and Allan Bloom. But that's just the short list. When Brock revealed his homosexuality, he expected to be hit with bigotry from his publicly antigay allies, but to his surprise was at first more often hit on instead. At a party at his Georgetown home, ''the house that Anita Hill built,'' he had to eject a conservative columnist ''after he pushed me onto a bed, into a pile of coats, and tried to stick his tongue down my throat.'' There is also, among others, ''the closeted pro-impeachment Republican congressman, who had pursued me drunkenly through a black-tie Washington dinner offering a flower he had plucked from a bud vase, condemning Clinton for demeaning his office.'' It all plays like slapstick out of ''The Birdcage.''
Why would a conservative movement so obsessed with vilifying homosexuality as a subversive ''lifestyle'' contain so many homosexuals? Looking at his own past, Brock writes, ''The doctrinaire absolutism, the thunderous extremism, the wildness of expression -- these qualities were not uncommon among other closeted right-wing homosexuals I had known. . . . At the bottom of my rage there must have been a loathing not of liberals, but of myself. By giving voice to their hatred of Anita Hill, I was trying to force the conservatives to love a faggot whether they liked it or not.'' Certainly after reading Brock's account, you're left feeling that too many of those protesting about homosexuality are protesting too much -- not necessarily because they're gay themselves in the manner of the cliched militaristic neighbor of ''American Beauty'' but either because they may be angry to discover that their children are (as in the case of Phyllis Schlafly) or, most conventionally, because they may be politically jealous of the clout of the tight-knit cliques of gays on their own team. (The numerous gays in ''the seniormost ranks of the Reagan administration called themselves the 'laissez fairies,''' writes Brock.) A similarly self-destructive overcompensation -- the eternal Jimmy Swaggart syndrome -- seemed to be at work among the straight right-wing womanizers, like Gingrich, who led the charge against Democratic hedonism while engaging in their own.
What's clear now is that David Brock's mea culpa for this era may also be its epitaph. The holier-than-thou cultural profiling used by Gingrich, Brock and their peers in the Hill-Thomas-Clinton era is in serious decline as a political tool. The proximate causes of its demise can be found in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11. The televised testimony by Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson to the effect that America was attacked in part because it gives safe harbor to ''the pagans and the abortionists and the gays and the lesbians'' was renounced by virtually the entire country, up to and including Rush Limbaugh and President Bush. Cultural profiling took an equally dramatic hit when the first leader to emerge in the postattack aftermath proved to be a walking compendium of the attributes that horrified the lifestyle police of the Clinton years: Rudolph Giuliani, a married man who publicly abandoned his wife for a mistress and chose to live in the household of a gay couple. He was a Republican, besides. So was one of the attack's first heroes -- Mark Bingham, a gay rugby player believed to be one of those who fought the hijackers for control of Flight 93 before it crashed in Pennsylvania. Suddenly the pre-Sept. 11 game of ''gotcha'' with Gary Condit (another hypocrite who piously supported the impeachment inquiry) seemed to belong to a vanished age.

Gedney Foods to rename "midget" pickles in response to mother's anti-"M word" campaign
Chelley's one-mom campaign compelled Gedney Foods to take action.
In December, Chelley Martinka, a 28-year-old Rhode Island mother of a baby girl named Adelaide who has dwarfism, was "shocked, appalled, and hurt" when she went grocery shopping and saw Cains "Kosher Dill Midgets" pickles on the shelf.
SEE ALSO: The new Green Giant looks like he just took a bong rip [IMAGE]
In a letter to Chaska-based Gedney Foods, the company that manufactures the pickles, Martinka wrote: "I know that as times change it is hard for a company to keep up. But for the equality of all children I hope you consider renaming this product for 2013."
Martinka kept the pressure on with a YouTube video and on her blog. And much to her surprise, earlier this month, Barry Spector, president of Gedney, called Martinka and delivered news she was very excited to hear. From her blog:
Mr. Spector began telling me that the person or people who named the pickles never meant harm, it was just a word when the marketing was done for the pickles. He agreed that in these times that same word is offensive, and he and the company would never want to offend anyone. Because of this, he sent my video to the company's board who voted to... CHANGE THE LABEL! There's about 6 months of stock already packaged and labeled, but the unused labels are going to remain as such: unsued. New labels are be designed now- currently waiting on a new name. Mr. Spector pointed out some companies use "baby", but he didn't seem sold on it. I think "lil' bits" would be fun, but I didn't say that! He did promise to send me the new label in goodwill! I am SO excited to see it! I plan on buying one jar now to a) get them off the shelves faster and b) have a comparison for the future.
I want to brag: I am proud of myself.
Mr. Spector noted that he realizes consumers have more power over companies (I'm assuming he meant due to social media outlets, etc.), and that he, like every company, needed to listen and respond. I was shocked he had said that. Many companies don't listen to their consumers, especially if it's not something that personally touches them. Many times, a company simply doesn't want to change- they think there is too much cost and hassle, but not this one. This company assures me that change is good and keeping with with the times is important to them.
Gedney owns their own brand, as well as Cains' and Del Monte. I do hope that all of these brands will be renamed, but we did not (regretfully) discuss that. As a final closing, Mr. Spector said (AND I QUOTE VERBATIM) "I promise, what I've told you is what we're gonna do."
M-word pickles, BE GONE!
In a statement, Gedney representatives said the company simply views the name change as "doing the right thing."

Do not visit on a saturday
we stayed for a short break on a friday and saturday night in an executive sea facing room.
the hotel is very warm and we neeed to keep the windows open. This was not an issue until saturday night. There is a bar in their basement that plays extremely loud music which kept us awake until late even though we were situated on the 3rd floor. This spoilt our stay. I would suggest people consider this if a booking includes a saturday night.
