Law named for local EMT signed by ObamaBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | January 03,2013BENNINGTON - Named for a Bennington emergency medical technician who died on duty in June 2009, the "Dale Long Act," which will provide benefits for EMTs killed or injured in the line of duty, was signed into law on Wednesday as part of the defense authorization act.
The Dale Long Emergency Medical Service Providers Protection Act had been strongly promoted by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who wrote the legislation.
Long's brother, Rich Long, said on Thursday that he thought his brother would be humbled by the law and pleased that his legacy would aid other EMTs. Long said he and his wife, Colleen, had become EMTs themselves in Colchester after being inspired by Dale's death.
The new law will extend a federal benefits program to paramedics and emergency medical technicians and their families, in cases where the EMT works or volunteers for nonprofit ambulance services. Previously, the benefits were only provided for EMTs working for government-related ambulance services.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER With just days to go before the Democratic primaries, and a sitting governor and...

Capitol Peak is one of the most challenging fourteeners in Colorado, and yields some good technical routes including the Northwest Ridge. Standing at 14,130', it is one of the most impressive mountains in the Elk Range with its amazing north face. Unlike some of the other mountains in the Elk Range, Capitol has very solid rock which can make the climbing very enjoyable, and the views from the summit are very rewarding and spectacular.
Getting There
Capitol Peak can be approached from either the Capitol Creek Trailhead or the Snowmass Creek Trailhead. Both of these trailheads can be reached off of Colorado 82 south of Glenwood Springs. For detailed directions to these trailheads refer to either Dawson's or Roach's fourteener guides.

@FGCUEagles Continue To Excel in the Classroom with Record Success
FORT MYERS, Fla. - With the 2013-14 year about to commence, FGCU student-athletes will look to build off a record-setting academic performance during the 2012-13 year in which they posted a 3.31 term GPA for the Spring Semester and 3.29 cumulative GPA.
FGCU student-athletes exceeded the overall FGCU undergraduate mark (3.01) for the ninth consecutive semester and 13 of the past 14 semesters. Additionally, over the course of the 2012-13 academic year, nearly every team established a record for either term or overall GPA.
"We are extremely proud of our student-athletes for the terrific effort they continue to put forth in the classroom while undertaking the demands of a Division-I schedule," said Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh. "Their devotion to succeeding in the classroom, in athletic competitions and in the community is a source of pride for not only the department but for the entire University.
"In particular, I would like to recognize former Assistant Athletic Director for Academic and Regulatory Affairs Brynn Richter and the rest of her extemporary athletic academic advising staff. These significant results remain a byproduct of the diligent efforts of the fine young men and women in our program, as well as the daily contributions by our coaches, academic advising units and FGCU's quality faculty."
Among the overall population of 233 student-athletes, nearly 80-percent (185) posted a Spring GPA of 3.0 or higher, and more than 45-percent (107) had a GPA of 3.5 or above. Additionally, 75-percent (175) of FGCU's student-athletes earned Atlantic Sun or Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association All-Academic honors, the greatest number in the school's six-year Division-I history.
In another testament to the student-athletes, coaches, support staff and faculty at FGCU, 55-percent of (128) student-athletes improved their term GPA from Fall 2012 to Spring 2013, with the average improvement being just above .35.
Thirteen of FGCU's 15 team or individual sports had a Spring Semester GPA of 3.0 or higher, led by a 3.6 mark for the women's basketball team and an FGCU best-ever 3.78 showing by the women's tennis team. Men's basketball had its second-highest term GPA recorded in 12 semesters, including seven returning student-athletes and four starters who improved their term GPA by an average of .39.
More than half (8 of 15) of FGCU's teams posted record-setting term GPAs in the Spring, including: men's golf (3.2), men's soccer (3.2), women's soccer (3.42), softball (3.49), swimming and diving (3.5), women's tennis, volleyball (3.41) and sand volleyball (3.43). Additionally, three other teams – women's golf (3.67), women's basketball and aforementioned men's basketball – had the second-highest term GPA those programs have ever recorded as a D-I member.
The baseball team (3.08) had 17 student-athletes maintain a 3.0 or better overall GPA – including an impressive 22 during the Spring season – and women's cross country (3.16) had 12 of its 14 members maintain at least a 3.0 GPA during the same semester.
Additional academic highlights included women's basketball standout Sarah Hansen (McKean, Pa./General McLane HS) being chosen as FGCU's first Division I Academic All-American selection. Furthermore, Hansen and her teammates' cumulative 3.62 GPA landed the Eagles fourth on the final 2013 Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Division I Top 25 Team Honor Roll. Not to be out-done, the swimming and diving squad earned College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Team Scholar All-American honors.

They're issued every day in Black Hawk County: No-contact orders promise a person protection from a potentially dangerous situation.
But the piece of paper can only do so much.
Last week, Marlene Buss placed a no-contact order on her former boyfriend, Kevin Ambrose. According to police reports, a few hours later, Ambrose shot Buss and shot and killed her mother, Kay Straw.
Waterloo's Director of Safety Services Dan Trelka explained the prevalence of domestic abuse cases in the county is troubling -- but it's a reality they deal with every day.
And up until 6:52 p.m. Wednesday, the situation between Ambrose and Buss was a routine call.
"If we can't articulate imminent danger, we would spend thousands of hours in these situations," said Trelka. "We just don't have the resources to do that."
After 6:52 p.m., the danger became all too clear -- and the family started asking why someone wasn't there to protect Buss and her mother.
"She wanted the cops to wait and the cops told her they weren't babysitters," Tammy Barnes said.
Trelka explained that officers did go with Buss, and they told her what they tell every person who issues a no-contact order: They would wait while she got the essential items out of the home.
"Just grab a few things, what you may need overnight. And we'll stand by while you get that stuff," Trelka said. "But on occasion, people will say, 'We want to get our TV out, our couch out.' We just don't have the man hours available to stand by in a situation like that for several hours."
Trelka said this was one of those situations. But even though officers couldn't stand by, at least one checked in on the house frequently, he said.
"He stayed in the neighborhood. He had other calls he needed to respond to, but he did frequently go back to the residence," Trelka said. "And sadly, within minutes after he had been at the residence one time, the shooter came to the house and engaged in the criminal act."
Police are devastated that this crime happened on their watch, but Trelka is confident their actions were the correct ones to take.
He said, ultimately, the responsibility for Straw's death and Buss' injuries lies with the man behind the gun. Trelka believes Ambrose is that person.
"If we could predict that things like this were going to happen, we wouldn't need cops," he added.
Since 1995, at least 235 Iowans have been killed in domestic disputes.
In light of the crime last week, Seeds of Hope is reminding women and men in the area of their services. For confidential help or information, call 1-888-746-4673.

How-to recover from checksum mismatch errors in SVN
January 25, 2009, 5:17 pm · 12 comments · Filed under: Coda, Subversion (SVN), Web Development
You know Coda, the text editor I sometimes rave about? Like many text editors, it has this handy feature for doing global searches and replaces. But, unlike any other I've ever seen, it will happily, and without prompting for an administrator password, let you replace text in files for which you don't have permission to write. You know, like Subversion repo copies. D'oh!
Don't get me wrong. I love Coda. I love it enough to choose to spend most of every day with it front-and-center on my screen. But, for the life of me, I can't imagine why it allows me to replace, without prompting me for an administrator password, text in a file with the following permissions:
For the uninitiated, the distinct lack of w's in that line is supposed to mean that the file is read-only.
Enough, already! Show me how to fix it!
Whatever the reason, Coda changed the files, which just happened to be the Subversion (SVN) reference versions of some of my repository files. The next time I tried to commit changes to my repository, I got an error message something like the following:
svn: Checksum mismatch for '.svn/text-base/blah.ext'; expected: 'f8d45250f7df5561635854165862fdd8', actual: '644f85c4befa671150c5c6ec5fad9885'
The above is actually taken straight from an article called "subversion checksum mismatch - easy workaround." I'm glad I found the article because it helped me fix the problem. Contrary to the title of the blog post, however, I didn't find Chris's instructions all that clear, so I thought I'd take a shot at explaining it in a way that is maybe a little easier to follow.
A side trip down Background Lane
Feel free to skip this section if you are familiar with how SVN works or are just in a hurry to fix your issue and get on with life!
SVN is software that helps you track revisions to files. As such, it is very important for SVN to know when a file changes. SVN stores information about every change made to files under its control locally in plain text files inside hidden
.svn directories. Trust me, you don't want to edit those files directly.
Before committing (saving) a file, SVN compares the latest revision of the file in the repository with the corresponding, locally saved, latest revision. Actually, it doesn't compare the files directly. Instead, it compares the checksums. A checksum is a shortened hash that represents the contents of a file. If the checksum for a file changes, you know it has been altered.
Once you change a file, it's really hard to get it back to its original state for the purposes of this check. Directly putting back the text that was changed didn't work for me. I don't know exactly how checksums are calculated, but it could be that they're based on the contents of the file plus some meta-data (like the last modified date) or else I just missed some of the changes.
In any case, I was having a bugger of a time with this, until I discovered the above-linked article. Then, I was, to quote The Proclaimers, on my way from misery to happiness. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Enough, already! Show me how to fix it!
The process we will follow to restore the repo to a state where we can commit entails the following steps:
- Check out the latest revision of the corrupted directory into a temporary directory
- Delete the munged SVN revision files
- Copy the correct SVN revision files into the working directory
As you can see, it's not difficult. You just have to know where to look for the correct files to swap out.
A benefit of my way over other procedures I've seen described is that I didn't have to do anything special to get back to a state where I could commit the latest changes I had made. After doing the above, SVN told me I had changes to commit. I committed them, and I was done.
Ominous disclaimer: what I am describing worked for me, for text files. It may not work for you. It should work for binary files, but I haven't personally tried it. Following this procedure, you may lose your life's work, putting you on an irreversible path to destitution and despair. You have been warned.
OK, now that you're too scared out of your wits to try them, know that these steps have face validity and worked in my case. If that's enough assurance for you, let's get this road on the show.
The following are the commands I used to restore my repo. The paths and filenames have been changed to protect the innocent. Also, I am describing the process for Mac OS X, so if you're on a different operating system, make the proper adjustments.
- Open Terminal.app or your command line interface of choice
- Change to a directory that is not under version control.
/tmpworks nicely:
$ cd /tmp
- Checkout the latest revision of the corrupted directory:
$ svn co svn://me@myserver/path/to/directory
- Change into the directory that holds the SVN revision files:
$ cd directory/.svn/text-base/
- Open a second terminal window and change into the directory with the corrupted revision files:
$ cd /path/to/working/directory/.svn/text-base/
At this point, if you were to list the contents of the
text-basedirectories in both windows, they should be identical and consist of a list something like the following:
$ ls -la

- In the second window (the one with your working copy), delete the corrupted revision files. If you know which one(s) they are, just delete them. Otherwise, you can delete everything in this directory:
$ sudo rm *
(Note for the paranoid: you could backup this directory before performing this step if you want. I figured why bother since it's corrupted already and I had a backup in the form of the newly checked out version in
- Back in the first window, copy the contents of the

$ sudo cp * /path/to/working/directory/.svn/text-base/
That's it. You should now be able to commit to your heart's content.

for the record, i think andrew does give a much clearer set of instructions than mine :)
Found this page while trying to fix my own problem, so hopefully my solution will help others…
My working copy is in windows and it was only one file causing the mismatch problem.
I made a copy of the problem file, then used TortoiseSVN to add this copy and delete the original.
Checked that in, then renamed the copy back to the original name. Checked in again.
Worked for me, and no need to mess about with the repository on my Linux server.
This is a silly way.
Why not just check in the files you can, move your working copy dir somewhere, do an update to get a new working copy, and finally copy the remaining files into the new working copy. Delete old working copy. Done. No need to worry about .svn directories.
Why be married to a busted working copy? Just ditch it.
I agree, it's overkill if you have a small number of files in modified states and you know which ones they are. In my case, I had a large number of files and wanted to make sure I didn't miss any, so it made more sense to do it this way.
This didn't work for me because it turned out that the text-base file was right but the directory/.svn/entries file was wrong. I had to replace the directory/.svn/entries file using the same method and it worked for me.
Similar to Joe Smoe, I was able to fix w/ the following svn diff > ~/modifications.diff [check out a new working copy, cd to new working copy] patch -p0 < ~/modifications.diff [proceed as before]
I agree w/ Joe Smoe. If your working copy is borked, why continue using it? Just delete it and check out a fresh one.
On *nix you can do:
( cd extracted_copy ; find . -name .svn | xargs tar -cvf - ) | (cd ../badtarget/ ; tar xvf - )
This creates a tarball in the directory that you extracted where the .svn directories are ok and extracts them in the directory where things went wrong.
Many Thanks :)
Thanks a lot - works perfectly
thanks it helped me.
Coda wrote to the file with read only permission was that you owned it. Nothing to do with Coda, it's got to do with Unix FS permissions.
Hehe — while there probably are "better" ways of doing this, I got some confidence that your convoluted method worked (since you did, indeed, try it out and it worked for you!), so I followed it and, aye, it worked flawlessly :)
Also, thanks for your detailed explanation! I'm a fan of Coda too, even more so that it also supports Git. But I have so many projects still on Subversion (namely, everything still under Google Code…), so I still use svn a lot…

In a surprise move, RFA Teemu Hartikainen has signed with Ufa of the KHL.
Take a look at Stadium Journey's 2013 NHL Arena Rankings! Jobing comes in at No. 8
According to Elliiotte Friedman of CBC, the NHL notified teams today that the idea of 4 conferences has been dropped, replaced by two conferences, each with two divisions. The teams in the divisions are the same as the conferences, so nothing changes there, although it's safe to assume that it impacts the schedule, reducing travel from the West to East and the other way around. More details at Friedman's blog
The NHL Board of Governors has ratified the CBA, announcement coming soon. Gary Bettman will be holding his billionth press conference of the season live on TSN 690 in a few moments.
So I think we can all assume that this is no longer worth a full article, but a writeup must be done. We're used to the NHL canceling games by now, but this time it comes with an assumed drop date for the league. What does that mean? Well it means that if no CBA is reached by January 15th, the NHL is going nuclear and taking out the season. All the legal stuff that's been going on the past couple weeks seems to make that deadline a hell of a challenge to meet, so the doomsday sayers can begin their chanting now. Well, the doomsday sayers in regards to the NHL. People who think the world is going to end tomorrow (today in Australia and New Zealand) are still really, really stupid. 625 games have been canceled thus far, over 50% of the NHL schedule.
After news broke that not all Flames players would be attending the team's annual charity golf tournament, NHLPA player rep Matt Stajan has said that a number his teammates will instead be traveling to New York in a final effort to influence CBA negotiations before Saturday's deadline. "It is unfortunate we all can't go, but, obviously, getting a new CBA is our No. 1 focus because we want to play hockey. We don't want to be locked out and have a bunch of other charity events cancelled . . . or can't attend because we're locked out," Stajan told the Calgary Herald.
That's the title of a new opinion piece of mine at The Daily Caller, in which I argue that fans should harness the power of the Internet to make our voices heard in the current CBA negotiations. Media outlets too often focus solely on the struggle between labor and management in these disputes, and we fans get overlooked. So it's up to us to make sure people know what we think. Click the link above to read, and feel free to share with friends!
Best line in Lance Hornby's report. "Bettman and union executive director Donald Fehr couldn't even agree on who decided to end the talks Friday, Bettman insisting he was free to chat and Fehr offering to talk about minor CBA points." Coming Soon: "Bulldogs and Nailers Eyes on The Prize"
The Reddit hockey community is trying to create a new NHL fan census map. I link here to the Lightning Reddit group post about the subject, which links to both the survey and the original fan census map they are trying to replicate. The census survey only asks a bare minimum of questions (your zip code, your team). lets try to get more than a handful of Lightning fan responses on this, shall we?
So we can silence the Scott Gomez to Columbus thoughts, as the Rick Nash saga appears to be over. This afternoon, the Columbus Blue Jackets traded their captain to the New York Rangers. Minor league rearguard Steven Delisle and a conditional third-round selection in the 2013 NHL Draft also go to New York. In exchange, Columbus gets forwards Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov, defenseman Tim Erixon and the Rangers' first-round selection in the 2013 draft. Columbus will regain its third-round pick if the Rangers make it to the 2013 Stanley Cup Final. Nash waived his no-movement clause prior to the trade, which is conditional on all players passing a physical by 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Barring injuries, or further transactions, the Rangers forward lines should look something like this. Carl Hagelin - Brad Richards - Rick Nash Chris Kreider - Derek Stepan - Marian Gaborik Taylor Pyatt - Brian Boyle - Ryan Callahan Mike Rupp - Jeff Halpern - Arron Asham More foillow-up from our SBN counterparts at Blueshirt Banter and The Cannon For those asking, BJ's GM Scott Howson has said nothing on Twitter over the deal. For that matter, he's tweeted nothing since February, the same time Nash made it clear he wanted out of the Buckeye State.

Things I liked:This mount firmly grabs the grooves of any air gun. The droop compensation is vital for maximizing scope usage.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.

Things I liked:I bought 2 of these for my Hatsan 95 and Hatsan 125 they took care of my barrel droop problem Good product.
Things I would have changed:Not much you might say that it should work well on most springers.
What others should know:Before I bought this my Hatsan 125 had so much recoil that the scope mounts would get loose after just a few shots but this adapter fixed that problem too.
Things I liked:Solid easy to mount, very effective for correcting barrel droop.
Things I would have changed:Maybe it cold be a little lighter
What others should know:Great value

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Titans coach Mike Munchak, general manager Ruston Webster and owner Bud Adams' top executive in Tennessee have taken off in the team's private plane headed for a meeting with Peyton Manning.
Where the meeting will happen remains a closely guarded secret.
The trio flew out of Nashville around 12:15 p.m. EDT with the flight plan showing the plane headed to Atlanta and not Raleigh-Durham, the destination under a flight plan for Tuesday afternoon. That changed back to Raleigh-Durham after the flight took off.
Adams told WSMV-TV on Tuesday night the meeting with the four-time MVP would happen Wednesday with plans for a full day together.
The quarterback's suitors include Denver, Arizona and Miami. He reportedly visited with the Dolphins Monday night in Indianapolis.

The Spartans won a share of the Big Ten crown in 2010 and captured the Legends Division title in 2011 before falling to Wisconsin in the inaugural Big Ten title game. Some heady accomplishments under Mark Dantonio. But something is missing—a trip to a BCS bowl, which is a destination that Michigan State never has enjoyed. In fact, the Spartans haven't been to the Rose Bowl since after the 1987 season.Read More »

The Pediatric Rheumatology Shortage: What's a Juvenile Arthritis Patient to Do? – by Ashley Boynes-Shuck

Collins misses two flights; Chance to Resign
So uh, I'm not even really sure what to think about this. Apparently we were going to resign Collins, and arranged two flights for him to fly from his home back to Charlotte, but he missed them both. So now instead we've signed Garrett Temple to a 10-Day contract.

Singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles already has several hits under her belt, including the hugely popular "Love Song" and "King of Anything," but her new single might be our favorite yet.
The track, "Brave," from her upcoming album to be released on July 16, was co-written by Jack Antonoff of the band fun. and was penned for a friend of Bareilles' who was struggling with coming out of the closet (see the lyric video above).
"Watching that process made me consider how much of ourselves we feel the need to hide from each other on a daily basis," Bareilles tells The Huffington Post. "It made me want to express support and encouragement for the idea of speaking out for your authentic self... whomever that may be."
In a webisode interview (see below), Antonoff says that "Brave" is "a civil rights anthem in a time when there are no civil rights anthems and there's a giant need for [one]."
Responding to his vision of the song, Bareilles says, "Music is the ultimate unifier. It has a way of elevating and giving voice to what can be found in the collective consciousness and in its best moments, it encourages people to come together."
She adds, "When people find common ground with each other, we come closer to seeing how similar we all actually are. That breeds understanding, compassion, love. That's the kind of change I would like to see."
To find out how you can participate in a special "Brave" campaign that lets you share your own story of being brave, click here. For more on Bareilles, visit her official website and follow her on Twitter.
In the midst of the United States Supreme Court's review of California's Prop 8 and the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA) Beyonce sounded off on marriage equality via Instagram with a handwritten note that said, "If you like it you should be able to put a ring on it #WeWillUnite4MarriageEquality."
Willie Nelson
During an interview with Texas Monthly's Andy Langer in late March 2013, Nelson showed his support for marriage equality. He told Langer,"Gay people should be just as miserable as the rest of us," before noting that he finds the ongoing debate over same-sex marriage "ridiculous...in this day and age." "For same-sex couples, taxes are different, benefits are different, survivor benefits are different," Nelson notes. "It's crazy ... I never had a problem with any of it. I've known straight and gay people all my life. I can't tell the difference. People are people where I came from."
Snoop Lion
As the United States Supreme Court heard cases from California's Proposition 8, Snoop Lion had no qualms about discussing marriage equality with Huff Post Entertainment. He told Kia Makarechi, "People can do what they want and as they please. Satisfy yourself accordingly. I have no issues with nobody, I live for me and I live my life doing what I do, so you should have the right to do whatever you want to do."
Stephen Amell
In late March, Stephen Amell showed his support of marriage equality and urged the United States Supreme Court to rule in favor of marriage equality during the review of California's Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The "Arrow" star posted a message to his official Facebook page in support of gay rights.
Kenneth Faried
Kenneth Faried, who has two moms, spoke out about his support of marriage equality and his mothers. "A lot of people [are] saying civil union," Faried told KDVR. "I don't like it being called that because I can get married to a female and it can be called a marriage. Why can't a female be married to a female and male be married to a male and it be called a marriage? You still have the same thing, same love and happiness."
La La Anthony
Before attending her first gay wedding, La La Anthony discussed gay marriage on her reality show, VH1's "La La's Full Court Life" in March 2013. When asked about whether or not she's afraid to be seen at a gay wedding, Anthony replied, "No, not at all. That's something that I would definitely stand up for. I think about Dice, I think about Po. I think about everybody in my life and it's like. I'm just happy to know that we've come this far."
Lena Dunham
Creator and star of HBO's hit series "Girls" is no stranger to controversial topics and at the 2013 Golden Globe awards, Dunham unsurprisingly admitted her support for same-sex marriage in response to questions about her possible engagement to Fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff: ""I don't want to get married until all gay people can get married."
Susan Olsen
Actress Susan Olsen, famous for playing Cindy on "The Brady Bunch," showed her support of same-sex marriage while the United States Supreme Court reviewed California's Prop 8 and Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in March 2013. She posted a cover photo to her Facebook page that show Cindy Brady praying and has the caption, "Please God, let the Supreme Court know that you think it's OK for gay people to marry."
A$AP Rocky
During an interview with Interview Magazine in March 2013, the rapper sounded off on the "gay thing in Hip-hop." The Harlem native said, "So now that I'm here and I've got a microphone in my hand and about 6,000 people watching me, I need to tell them how I feel." He added, "For instance, one big issue in hip hop is the gay thing. It's 2013, and it's a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It's crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip hop is small-minded or stupid -- and that's not the case." Rocky said that he treats everybody equal and he wants his listeners and followers to do the same. "We've got people like Jay-Z. We've got people like Kanye. We've got people like me. We're all prime examples of people who don't think like that. I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they're gonna represent me. And if I'm gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way."
Macklemore, the breakout hip hop artist of 2013, is the man behind the gay rights anthem "Same Love," along with Ryan Lewis, that took the 2013 Video Music Awards by storm. Macklemore is an outspoken supporter of gay rights, saying in an interview: "I think that looking at the hip-hop community, and holding myself accountable in the hip-hop community, was what I cared about. That's my community; that's who I see to be oppressing gay people...Homophobia is still rampant in the hip-hop community and it just gets the co-sign."
Anna Wintour
Editor-In-Chief of American Vogue and style icon Anna Wintour publicly stated her support for gay marriage by taking part in the Human Rights Campaign's "New Yorkers for Marriage Equality." During the 30-second clip, Wintour beautifully states: "As far as I'm concerned, having the right to say 'I do' is as fundamental as the right to vote. The time is now, please join me in supporting marriage equality for all New Yorkers."
Jay-Z showed his support of President Barack Obama's endorsement of marriage equality. The rapper said, "What people do in their own homes is their business, and you can choose to love whoever you love. That's their business. It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination, plain and simple."
Chris Kluwe
Kluwe wrote an open letter to a Maryland legislator who spoke out against the supportive views of Brendon Ayanbadejo. He also recorded a video supporting marriage equality."Excluding gay couples from marriage is a meaningless and reckless restriction of individual freedom and basic human rights," said the Vikings punter. "To deny an entire group of people the ability to be legal couples is anti-American and anti-freedom. As a devoted husband and father of two, I can't imagine the state of Minnesota not recognizing my love for my wife Isabelle. We would welcome and respect the equal rights for gays to experience the same joy and privileges of marriage that we do."
Kathy Griffin
Kathy has been a long-time supporter of the LGBT community, using her blunt wit and comedic nature to make her opinions heard. The moments where she has shown support for marriage equality are too numerous to pick one example, but they range from her marching with advocates of same-sex marriage to telling reporters that we need a lesbian president (she nominates Suze Orman).
NeNe Leakes
The star of Bravo's "Housewives of Atlanta" showed her support of gay marriage during an interview with the Advocate. "To me, same-sex marriage is like the new normal. I don't give a sh*t. If two gay people want to get married it doesn't bother me. If two people say they love each other and they want to be together, they should be together. Don't you think?," the reality star and actress told the Advocate.
Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway, who's been outspoken about her support for her gay brother, told Chelsea Handler in Interview, "The other thing I want to say about Jersey is they need to get on the New York bandwagon and legalize gay marriage." She continued, "But I think everybody should do that. It's not a specifically Jersey thing."
Brad Pitt
Though it was revealed recently that Pitt and longtime partner Angelina Jolie are now engaged (they previously said they would not get married until marriage was an option for all people), the actor has been a staunch supporter of the LGBT community. In 2009 he donated $100,000 to fighting Proposition 8, the California law which made same-sex marriage illegal in the state. Pitt said:
"Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8."
 Pitt also recently starred in a production of Dustin Lance Black's play "8," based on the Prop 8 trial.
Kelly Osbourne
Having served as Grand Marshall of the 40th annual Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade in Hollywood alongside her mother, appearing as a guest judge multiple times on "RuPaul's Drag Race," and campaigning heavily against California's Proposition 8, Kelly Osbourne is in many ways considered a gay icon. While serving as Grand Marshall, Osbourne repeatedly shouted "My God loves gays!"
Carrie Underwood
The queen of country originally came out in support of same-sex marriage in 2012, receiving backlash from her largely-christian fan-base. She then reaffirmed her stance in a February 2013 interview, stating, ""I'm in favor of acceptance...and I am a Christian person, and I do love the Lord, and I feel no matter who you are, what you believe, how you live your life, it's not my place to judge."
Brendon Ayanbadejo
The Baltimore Ravens player spearheaded submitting a brief on behalf of professional athletes and celebrities in favor of marriage equality before the United States Supreme Court reviewed California's Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). He was also one of the first NFL players to welcome gays to come out while playing professional sports.
Cyndi Lauper
Lauper launched her Give a Damn Campaign to raise awareness for the struggles of gay and transgender youth. "For far too long, dogma and fear have torn apart too many families," she wrote in The Huffington Post in 2011. "It is a time when the heart must lead the way when your child shares this personal and life-changing moment with you."
Clint Eastwood
In a 2011 interview with GQ Eastwood said: "These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don't give a f*** about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of. They go on and on with all this bulls*** about "sanctity" -- don't give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want."
Charles Barkley
During an interview on SiriusXM radio, Barkley was asked how he felt about gay players in the locker room. Barkley responded that a gay player would only be judged based on "whether he can play or not. If somebody is gay, that's their own business. But it bothers me how people try to say that jocks are not going to like a gay. ... I think gay people should be allowed to get married and God bless them, that's their own business. Listen, if a guy can't play that's the only time we don't want to play with him. We don't care about all that extracurricular stuff."
Kate Winslet
"I like the diversity that my children are exposed to every day," Kate Winslet told V magazine in 2011. "I love the way their brains work. Joe [her son] turns to me the other day and says, 'One day, I will have a girlfriend. But I might have a boyfriend. If I'm gay.' He's 7! And I said, 'You might have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, darling.' And he said, 'Which would you prefer?' And I said, 'My love, that would be entirely up to you, and it doesn't make any difference to me.'"
Sean Avery
Not only has the New York Rangers hockey star come out in support of gay marriage (see the video above), when asked about what he'd do if there were a gay player in the locker room he said:
"I'll stand beside him in the dressing room while he tells his teammates he is gay. Maybe if Sean Avery is there, they would have less of a problem with it."

Daniel Radcliffe
The "Harry Potter" star has long been an advocate for LGBT causes including The Trevor Project, which helps LGBT youth who are dealing with suicidal thoughts. Radcliffe, who was featured on the cover of gay men's magazine Out with transgender musician and friend Our Lady J, will play gay poet Allen Ginsberg in an upcoming biopic.
Julianne Moore
"I think it's a very basic human rights issue," Moore, who played one half of a lesbian couple in 2010's "The Kids Are Alright," told Women's Wear Daily. "Everybody has the right to marry the person they love and be represented as a couple and family....It's something that people will look back on in years to come and say, 'I can't believe it took so long for us to recognize this.' It'll be like segregation and giving women the right to vote."
Steven Spielberg
Brad Pitt wasn't the only one to donate to the fight against Prop 8. In 2008 Steven Spielberg also plunked down $100,000 in hopes of defeating the anti-marriage equality bill. Spielberg, who made the donation with his wife Kate Capshaw, said: "By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation. Such discrimination has NO place in California's constitution, or any other."
Miley Cyrus
In August 2011, Cyrus tattooed a small "equals" sign on her middle finger, in support of same-sex marriage. She later told Glamour that the idea of not being able to marry the person you love more than anything in the world makes her "feel sick to her stomach."
Sean Penn
Penn played the role of slain gay rights activist Harvey Milk and was awarded an Oscar for his incredible portrayal. During his acceptance speech Penn said:
"I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way of support. We've got to have equal rights for everyone."

Pink chose to set the video for her 2010 hit "Raise Your Glass" at a gay wedding. "I threw my best friend's wedding in my backyard -- [she] is gay and she married her wife, and it was absolutely beautiful," she told MTV News. "At the end of it, her mom said, 'Why can't this be legal?' and started crying. It was just the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen, so that's why I'm doing it in my video. "
Russell Simmons
The entertainment mogul has long been an ally to the LGBT community. In a 2009 Huffington Post blog written as an open letter to then NY Governor David Paterson, Simmons said:
"You have recently done this in showing support for the legalization of gay marriage. History will show you are right and will we support you on this issue."

John Stewart
"The Daily Show With John Stewart" has a long-standing history of showing support for the LGBT community. In fact, President Barack Obama received a lengthy round of applause on the show for supporting LGBT rights. Stewart has repeatedly slammed anti-LGBT pundits and situations, including the GOP's argument against marriage equality leading up the the repeal of DOMA.
Daniel Radcliffe
The "Harry Potter" star has been very outspoken about his position on gay rights, having done a PSA in 2012 for the Trevor Project. In fact, the Trevor Project even acknowledged his advocacy with he the hero award in June 2011. In his PSA, Radcliffe stated that, "Gay people should have equality in law everywhere. If you grow up as a young gay man knowing you don't have the same opportunities as everyone else, you're going to feel victimized and massive prejudice towards you."
Natalie Portman
Portman and husband Benjamin Millepied were among the stars who signed Freedom to Marry's "I Do" open letter, which called on President Obama to declare his support for marriage equality.
Zach Wahls
The son of two lesbians, Wahls gave an incredible pro-gay marriage, pro-gay parenting speech in front of the Iowa House of Representatives in February of 2011. The speech was so inspiring that it went viral on the Internet not just in February of 2011 but then again nearly 11 months later in December of 2011. Up next, Wahls will serve as co-chair for "The Outspoken Generation," the Family Equality Council's national youth advocacy initiative involving the young adult children of LGBT parents. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/06/zach-wahls-outspoken-generation-ella-robinson-gay-parents_n_1408703.html
Jennifer Aniston
Following New York's historic passage of a same-sex marriage bill in June 2011, Jennifer Aniston told MTV News: "It's great! I thought it was unbelievable. So exciting in this time and that it happens to be Gay Pride weekend. What a great weekend."
George Clooney
In a recent interview with "the Advocate," the longtime LGBT ally, addressed rumors about his own sexuality and affirmed his dedication to supporting his gay friends:
"I think it's funny, but the last thing you'll ever see me do is jump up and down, saying, 'These are lies!' That would be unfair and unkind to my good friends in the gay community," Clooney said. "I'm not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I'm very happy in it. Who does it hurt if someone thinks I'm gay? I'll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don't give a sh*t."

Hudson Taylor
The wrestling star and Division I wrestling coach recently launched Athlete Ally, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which aims to educate and empower straight allies in sports to speak out against homophobia and transphobia.
Rev. Al Sharpton
Rev. Al Sharpton, who has blogged for HuffPost in the past, is a powerful ally in the fight for LGBT rights. He regularly goes to bat for the LGBT community, despite his ties to the baptist church, and has previously stated that "there's a reason why Blacks, Latinos, Asians, gays, immigrants and other groups overwhelmingly voted with the Democrats during the last election -- mainly that we vote with those who fight for greater equality."
Josh Hutcherson
Hutcherson is the youngest person to ever be honored by GLAAD with the Vanguard Award for his work with the LGBT community, which includes the founding of Straight But Not Narrow, a campaign that "is primarily directed to the young, straight male by using comedy and their peers to positively influence their views on LGBT teens." The teen, who filmed a video for SBNN (see above) told SamaritanMag.com, "...[the campaign] hits close to home for me. I have a lot of gay friends in Los Angeles. My roommate's gay and I lost two uncles when I was young to AIDS, so it's an important cause in my family."
Carly Ray Jepsen
"Call Me Maybe" singer Carly Ray Jepsen cancelled her performance at a summer Boy Scouts concert prior to the Boy Scouts repealing their anti gay stance for members (but not scoutmasters). In a tweet she branded herself as "artist who believes in equality for all people."

text: I have a site with some flash animations and rolovers on the startingpage. One of the flash animations is an animated menu. The problem is I still have a normal dail-up internet account. Soon i'll get cable. The problem is on a dail-up account the loading time of the page takes a little time. Not too much but the problem is that the flash animation is already starting before ther rest of the page and the animation are completely loaded. This makes the animation quite shaky the first time you see it. What i wanna do is first load all the images and all other files including the flash animation and when everything is loaded i want the animation to start. Then it'll go smooth the first time you load it. Is there a way to do this.
