While gay-rights advocates are celebrating President Obama's conversion on gay marriage, not everyone is happy.
Unsurprisingly, longtime opponents of gay marriage are speaking out against the president's comments, which he made today in an interview with ABC News.
In the latest ABC News polling, 52 percent of respondents said gay marriage should be legal, while 43 percent said it should be illegal. That leaves a large swath of the country, including the politicians and interest groups that represent it, that will not agree with the president's remarks.
Opponents voiced that displeasure in written statements emailed to reporters on Wednesday afternoon.
The president was also criticized by one group that does support expanded gay rights. The Log Cabin Republicans, a group of gay and gay-rights-supporting Republicans, called the timing of Obama's comments "offensive and callous":
"That the president has chosen today, when LGBT Americans are mourning the passage of Amendment One, to finally speak up for marriage equality is offensive and callous," said R. Clarke Cooper, Log Cabin Republicans executive director. "Log Cabin Republicans appreciate that President Obama has finally come in line with leaders like Vice President Dick Cheney on this issue, but LGBT Americans are right to be angry that this calculated announcement comes too late to be of any use to the people of North Carolina, or any of the other states that have addressed this issue on his watch. This administration has manipulated LGBT families for political gain as much as anybody, and after his campaign's ridiculous contortions to deny support for marriage equality this week he does not deserve praise for an announcement that comes a day late and a dollar short."
Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., the tea-party-backed congressman who won election in 2010, accused Obama of a calculated political move. He tweeted:
"Pres failures are masked by irrelevant pandering as a collectivist who does not respect individual sovereignty. More of the same politics."
National Organization for Marriage's Brian Brown suggested Obama has just made gay marriage the central issue of the 2012 presidential campaign:
"President Obama has now made the definition of marriage a defining issue in the presidential contest, especially in swing states like Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Nevada," Brown said. "Voters in all these states, and over two dozen more, have adopted state constitutional amendments defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. President Obama says that although he personally supports gay marriage, he still supports the concept of states deciding the issue on their own. However, that is completely disingenuous. His administration is already trying to dismantle the nation's marriage laws by refusing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court. All the state marriage amendments and laws are at risk under a president who actively wants to change the definition of marriage. NOM will work ceaselessly in these swing states and across the nation to preserve traditional marriage because it is profoundly in the public good to do so. God is the author of marriage, and we will not let an activist politician like Barack Obama who is beholden to gay marriage activists for campaign financing to turn marriage into something political that can be redefined according to presidential whim. The definition of marriage was already headed for the ballot in four states this fall; now it will be one of the defining issues of the presidential election. No state in this country has every voted for gay marriage. Just yesterday, North Carolina voters sent a clear message that America wants to preserve marriage. We intend to win the marriage debate this November."
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, a prominent culture warrior on the right, suggested Obama's comments finally match his actions:
"The president's announcement today that he supports legalizing same-sex marriage finally brings his words in sync with his actions. From opposing state marriage amendments to refusing to defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DoMA) to giving taxpayer funded marriage benefits to same-sex couples, the president has undermined the spirit if not the letter of the law.
"As demonstrated by yesterday's overwhelming vote in North Carolina, redefining marriage remains outside the mainstream of American politics, especially in the critical battleground states and among minority voters. In North Carolina, the amendment received more than 60 percent of the vote in majority-black counties.
"Considering that 10 of the 16 battleground states have marriage amendments that could be overturned by the president's new policy position on marriage, today's announcement almost ensures that marriage will again be a major issue in the presidential election.
"The president has provided a clear contrast between him and his challenger Mitt Romney. Romney, who has signed a pledge to support a marriage protection amendment to the U.S. Constitution, may have been handed the key to social conservative support by President Obama."
Ralph Reed, founder of the Faith Freedom Coalition, called Obama's evolution a broken promise:
"Four years ago, [in] 2008, Barack Obama promised if elected not to raise taxes on those making less than $250,000, pledged to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term – and made clear his support for traditional marriage. All those promises are now broken. At a time of high unemployment and severe economic distress, President Obama chose the week he launched his re-election campaign to flip-flop on same-sex marriage. Combined with his administration's opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act, it reveals a president who is tone-deaf and out-of-touch with the time-honored values of millions of Americans. This is an unanticipated gift to the Romney campaign. It is certain to fuel a record turnout of voters of faith to the polls this November."
Focus on the Family President Jim Daly called Obama's comments "disappointing":
"President Obama's announcement that he has changed his position and now personally supports same-sex marriage is disappointing. This is obviously a hot-button political issue on which there is much disagreement nationwide, and people of good faith will come to different conclusions. But the presidency comes with a bully pulpit that ought to be used with respect for the will of the people – and the will of the people on this issue is crystal clear.
"North Carolina on Tuesday became the 32nd state – out of 32 that have voted — to protect marriage by a vote of the people. Every time the issue of protecting traditional marriage (31 times via constitutional amendment) has been put before the people, it has passed — in 'conservative' states like Mississippi, Utah and the Dakotas; 'liberal' states like California and Hawaii; and those more ideologically up-for-grabs states like Florida, Michigan and Ohio, which routinely prove to swing presidential elections.
"The role of government – from the White House to the State House to City Hall – is to do what is best for its people: all its people. … Traditional marriage is that best chance of ensuring the well-being of children and creating a building block for a thriving society."

I was thinking of buying Phyllostachys aureosulcata f. Spectabilis as a screening plant for against my neighbors. I was wondering how quickly does it grow and how much work would I need to keep it contained?
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
That's a pretty bamboo and is much like any running bamboo in its growth habits. After you plant it, it will probably spend the first two years putting up a few new culms, but will be establishing itself underground and sending out some runners. In the third year you will get more substantial culm growth and it will be spread out from the main, original planting. It's hard to predict how much it will run, although it will keep wanting to spread out. I've had one in the ground for 5 years. This year it sent up growth about 3' out from the center in a coupe of directions. I have seen it spread out further and faster, though. I don''t think it's much work to maintain it, but there will be some. You have two choices: 1) You can buy a specialty product called bamboo barrier, which is a hard plastic that comes in rolls and is anywhere from 40-80 mils thick by 30"-36" wide. You would have to dig a trench around your bamboo at least 24" deep, put the barrier in the ground, secure the plastic where it overlaps with a stainless steel bar, and then bury it. It will stop the rhizomes from expanding beyond that perimeter. 2) You can do what I do, which is to rhizome prune every year at least once. This means digging into the soil all around your bamboo to find any rhizomes that have gone further than you want and to chop them off before they send up new growth. I generally use a pickaxe for this, and just chop in a circle around the plant. Most rhizomes don't go more than about 10" deep in the ground and it's not necessary to dig a big trench...just get the pick end into the ground so you can see if it encounters resistance where a root might be. If there is a root, cut it off with the pickaxe. Newer rhizomes that are chopped off generally die, but I tend to pry out the chopped off piece just to be safe. If, by chance, you miss a rhizome and you see some growth coming up in your lawn, it's not a big deal (unless you have a perfect lawn): you can just trace the rhizome back in a roughly straight line from the nearest aboveground growth, decide where you want to stop the plant and chop the rhizome; then pry the severed section out of the ground. You don't have to get every tiny piece...just the main root. This process can take me anywhere from 2 minutes to a half an hour per bamboo plant depending on what growth has occurred underground, how big I want to let that grove get, and how mature the plant is. It also helps if you plant the bamboo in a slight mound. I put many of mine in a mound about 6"-12" high and about 6' in diameter. This tends to keep rhizomes nearer the surface, and sometimes they will even be along the top of the ground for a bit and this all helps make it easier to spot them. Lastly, and, I hope, obviously, don't plant the bamboo right on the property line or next to a fence, as that will complicate your efforts to contain it and to keep it from getting into your neighbor's yard before you can catch it. |
I just planted 2 spectabilis next to a fence, BUT there's no house on the other side of the fence, just an empty lot. I want to get some shade from these bamboos. Hopefuly, they don't damage the fence with their growth. Great advice, thanks! |
newgen- Bamboo won't damage a fence...they'll just send up shoots around it. However, someone must own that empty lot, and could be annoyed if they end up with a grove of bamboo on their property some day. |
My housing community is fairly new, the lot next to my house is not suitable to build a house on, so it'll remain empty for the foreseeable future, unless the developer wants to build a playground/park like they originally wanted to, until the recession set in. No worry, I'll just cut off any shoots that become too much. Thanks, |

Like most FOAF tools, FOAF Explorer is still somewhat limited and does not deal well with arbitrary RDF that just contains some FOAF statements.

- Piggy Bank is a browser extension for Firefox available at http://simile.mit.edu/piggy-bank/. Semantic MediaWiki refers to a page's RDF specification within its HTML header so that Piggy Bank can find it. In effect, Piggy Bank will collect RDF of all visited articles during browsing. Of course, the further use of this RDF, as in all applications of Piggy Bank, is left to the user.
- KAON2 is a reasoner and ontology management API for OWL DL and SWRL. It can be used to check the validity of the exported OWL specifications. In conjunction with ow:OWL tools, you can also transform the exported RDF into ow:LaTeX sources that show the according DL statements (which tend to be more readable for humans, or at least for DL-aware humans).

Bizarre Kris Humphries interview on 'GMA'
The Kardashian reject doesn't want to talk about it
Bizarre Kris Humphries interview on 'GMA'
Good Morning America promoted the heck out of its interview this morning with basketball player Kris Humphries, better known as Kim Kardashian's blink-and-you-missed-it husband. The ABC News morning program ran a graphic at the bottom of the screen: "His Life With Kim" as Josh Elliott peppered Humphries and his mother Debra with personal questions.
It was like watching a guy trying to open an oyster with a wooden spoon. The closest Kris came to answering a marriage/annulment/divorce query was, "Certain things happen."
Take a look at the verbal bull fight.

pay scale for boston RN's?
0Feb 15, '10 by surferbettycrockerhi y'all-- looking for recent approximate pay rates for RN's with just under 5 years experience. it is difficult to find pay rate info for boston hospitals. do hospitals in the city pay more or less-- any info would be greatly appreciated.
thanks! -
2Feb 16, '10 by simonsezMassachusetts nurses have enjoyed some of the highest salaries in the United States, which is typical of states with strong nurses unions. The average salary for a nurse in Massachusetts was $79,000 in 2008, up from $57,000 in 2003, and second only to California, said Judith Shindul-Rothschild, a nurse and professor at Boston College. Massachusetts nurses also enjoy some of the best working conditions in the country and are among the most highly educated, she said.
Boston Globe 2/12/10 -
0Feb 16, '10 by surferbettycrockerthanks pexmex. that's quite a jump in salary if this article is accurate. i also heard mass. is going to implement nurse/ pt ratios. anybody out there have any updates? i heard as early as summer of 2010..
1Feb 16, '10 by surferbettycrockerI just read the article from the globe and i was outraged at the justification given to increasing the patient ratio for bedside nurses in boston. hire more ancillary staff to 'free up nurses from duties that take away from pt.care is BS. not all ancillary staff are created equal, and RN's will ALWAYS be chasing down food trays and the like! i really hope MA RN's stay strong and block this.
coming from a teaching hospital with 5-6 REALLY SICK pts to each nurse is a nightmare.sweettreat521 likes this. -
0Feb 16, '10 by surferbettycrockerhave you applied anywhere yet? if still in school can you work as a CNA? it seems that is
how many new nurses get hired. -
0Feb 16, '10 by surferbettycrockeri have some experience and i feel like doors are being shut left and right in boston and the surrounding towns. it's very disheartening
1Jun 22, '12 by KelRN215, BSN, RNQuote from ivyleafWhat kind of updates are you looking for? Pay scales in Boston depends on a lot of things. Nurses at many Boston hospitals (basically all but MGH, Children's and BI) are represented by the MNA and their pay scales are determined by the union contract. A new grad at any of the union facilities makes more than I made as a nurse with nearly 5 years of experience at the non-union hospital I worked at. I am making significantly more than I ever made in the hospital now working in home health (like my check today was $600 more than it ever was working in the hospital). Nurses in Boston are well paid but the cost of living is also pretty high out here.Any updates on this topic?Jessy_RN likes this.

I am ready to make my reservations for the next retreat.
This retreat was amazing...mind-blowing. I am ready to make my reservations for the next retreat. I am definitely coming back it was well worth it!
Tish Times takes everything to a whole new level!
This retreat was an AMAZING experience! I learned that it's not just about business. When you come to a Tish Times' retreat or an event, you are not just given numbers or fed information. You are given things that you can implement immediately and you are going to know why. You are going to touch on things that may be affecting your business that you thought had nothing to do with business. You learn how it all goes to together. It's something that you can't get reading a book or going to a seminar here or there. Tish Times takes everything to a whole new level!
This retreat was eye-opening.
It gives me the opportunity to really see where I'm at, which is not were I want to be, but having other people speak into my life and show me that this is possible allows me to see beyond myself, beyond my obstacles and limitations. It helped me to see that it is possible!
I definitely feel empowered to grow my business with Tish. She is awesome!
I was using networking & a couple of other sales techniques for years to try & build my business, but had no idea what to do next or how. After a friend invited me to Tish's book signing, immediately I knew I had just met the person who could help take my business to the next level & beyond! As I continue to implement insightful ideas Tish has given me - through her innovative techniques, guidance, mentorship, & support – my business continues to expand. I have been able to secure more new clients in this year than in the past 5 years. I definitely feel empowered to grow my business with Tish. She is awesome!

African-American family films finding big audiences

Fort Worth Star-Telegram
The most satisfying movie in theaters right now features no elaborate computer-generated special effects and no talking polar bears. It doesn't star any scenery-chewing actors gunning for an Oscar. And — thank heaven for small favors — it doesn't have six people playing Bob Dylan at various stages of his career.
Instead, Preston A. Whitmore's surprise hit "This Christmas" — which opened last month and has grossed more than $40 million — tells the story of a large and bickering African-American family reunited for the first time in four years for the Christmas holiday. What makes the movie so refreshing is its unabashed old-fashioned sensibility. In this age of newer, bigger, better and louder, Whitmore has offered up a kind of minirevolution, with a plainspoken, warmhearted comedy-drama about recognizable people overcoming everyday problems.
"I wasn't surprised at all that it opened so well," Whitmore says. "Look at the social landscape: We have a war, there's less money, gas prices are astronomical. People want things that make them feel good."
But here's the really exciting thing: "This Christmas" is just one of a number of accomplished, affecting African-American-centered films we've seen recently. Earlier this year, the writer-director-actor Tyler Perry served up his two most accomplished movies yet: "Daddy's Little Girls," about the budding relationship between a working-class mechanic (Idris Elba) and a wealthy lawyer (Gabrielle Union); and "Why Did I Get Married?," a study of three young couples falling into and out of love. "The Perfect Holiday," is a slight but charming screwball fairy tale about a wealthy single mother (Union, again) who falls for a struggling songwriter (Morris Chestnut) who lies to her about his true identity.
These movies are all modest and funny. They reckon with universal issues of faith, adultery, money and love. Best of all: They don't feel the need to remind us, at every step of the way, of their own singular importance. (Witness just about every third movie that's opened this year, from "Zodiac" to "I'm Not There" to "American Gangster" to "Atonement.") By trying to capture and reflect the lives of African-American families on screen, these directors have achieved something unexpected: They've served up movies that far transcend boundaries of class and race, and that hearken back to the glorious and simple pleasures of Hollywood's Golden Age.
"More often than not, the Hollywood studios are behind the curve of what audiences actually want to see," says Narcel Reedus, assistant professor of film at University of Texas at Arlington. "They're still caught in the 'New Jack City' era, with movies that have a lot of rap music and violence. ... Or they rely on the sort of minstrel-show comedies that we typically see starring African-American performers.
"But occasionally the audience will say, 'I don't want to see that anymore. I want to see 'Why Don't I Get Married?' And it's not just a black audience, either."
Credit Tyler Perry
Indeed, if you ask anyone to explain why we're seeing a burst of family dramas with primarily African-American casts, it won't take long before Perry is cited as a hugely influential force. The Atlanta-based playwright and drag performer shocked everyone when his first film, "Madea's Family Reunion," opened atop the box office in February 2005. Since then, Perry has served up three more titles, all of which have earned considerably more than their modest budgets.
"There was no outlet for this type of entertainment," says Whitmore, who says his own movie was green-lit only because of the success of Perry's. "He put it into place. He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that there's an audience for these kinds of movies."
"It's the changing face of America — people want to see themselves reflected a little more," Union says. As a writer and director, Perry probably isn't going to be confused with Martin Scorsese (or, for that matter, Spike Lee) anytime soon: His fondness for soap-opera-style plotting, didactic speechifying and contrived happy endings has been widely noted. But he's also reintroduced important elements into contemporary movies — things that are increasingly absent in our postmodern culture.
For one thing, he shows us characters who are religious and for whom faith is a regular part of their lives — a stark contrast to most Hollywood movies, which bend over backward to offend no one. For another, Perry is an old-school showman, a man who has little use for irony and hipsterism, and instead just wants to make you laugh, make you cry and send you home with a lump in your throat.
These very same qualities are gratifyingly on display in "This Christmas." The characters feel lived-in and human — people you might encounter on your next trip to the Tom Thumb. (Indeed, this is the first holiday movie in ages where the characters actually go to church on Christmas Day.) When the proceedings stop cold so that the wonderful Chris Brown — who plays the youngest member of this family — can belt out a ballad, you're too busy exulting in the music to care that the scene makes little sense in the larger context of the story.
Will the trend end?
So are we witnessing a renaissance in African-American filmmaking — or is this just another passing trend, likely to fade into oblivion as soon as the next Tyler Perry or Preston Whitmore movie fails to perform at the box office?
Depends on who you ask.
"Unfortunately, in the African-American-cinema world, if in fact one thing is successful, they make 10 of them," says UTA's Reedus. "And that's what burns out the audience. Right now everyone is looking for something like 'This Christmas,' whereas they should be probing other African-American stories."
Union, however, takes umbrage at the question. "I think it's kind of like asking Steven Spielberg if people are going to get bored with seeing his movies," she says. "People have been making black-centered movies for a long, long time. As long as there are people of color, I don't think it will ever go out of style."
Whatever direction black filmmaking heads next, a few things are certain: These movies are providing a terrific platform for a new generation of African-American talent, including Union, Brown, Regina King and Columbus Short; and they're reminding us that, whatever the color of our skin, our concerns in life usually tend to be pretty similar.
Best of all (especially after a fall season filled with turgid, dreary efforts like "Lions for Lambs," "In the Valley of Elah" and "Margot at the Wedding"): These movies are making it a joy to go to the multiplex again.

RWJF Scholars in the News: Cesarean sections, hospital readmissions, nurse practitioners, and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast, and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows, alumni, and grantees. Some recent examples:
RWJF Clinical Scholar Chileshe Nkonde-Price, MD, shared her experiences with the medical system during the last week of her recent pregnancy in a video featured on Nasdaq.com. Despite have given birth via Cesarean section earlier, Nkonde-Price wished to deliver vaginally with this pregnancy if she could do so safely. C-section has become the nation's most common major surgery, the piece says. It examines some of the factors behind the sharp increase in the number of women delivering via C-section in the United States.
In a Health Affairs Blog, José Pagán, PhD, analyzes Medicare's Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP), which penalizes hospitals with excessive 30-day readmissions for conditions such as pneumonia and heart failure. While Pagán says that not all readmissions can be avoided, hospitals can improve their performance through effective discharge planning and care coordination. With more incentive programs on the horizon, Pagán suggests that health care organizations "seek and monitor collaborative partnerships and, more importantly, strategically invest in sustaining these partnerships" so they can survive and thrive. He is an RWJF Health & Society Scholars program alumnus and recipient of an RWJF Investigator Award in Health Policy Research.
A study led by RWJF Nurse Faculty Scholar Lusine Poghosyan, PhD, RN, looks at how Nurse Practitioners (NPs) rate their work environments. It finds that those working in Massachusetts fared better that those working in New York on every topic in the survey: support and resources, relations with physicians, relations with administration, visibility and comprehension of their role, and independence of practice. The survey also found that NPs working in community health clinics and physicians' offices rated their work experiences better than NPs working in hospital-affiliated clinics. Poghosyan told Science Codex the findings suggest "the practice environment for NPs in New York can improve once the state's NP Modernization Act," which will expand NPs' scope of practice, takes effect.
As the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented, there are growing concerns about shortages of primary care providers, according to a Health Affairs Blog co-authored by RWJF Executive Nurse Fellows program alumna Debra Barksdale, PhD, RN, FAAN. "Physician shortages can be addressed by the rapid growth of nurse practitioners (NPs), trained in primary care, along with the redesign of primary care to include teams that can be led by both physicians and NPs. But our nation's primary care needs can only be met if states allow NPs to practice to the fullest extent of their training," Barksdale and her co-authors write, noting that "it is time to remove barriers and support a collaborative dialogue about the needed changes in the U.S. primary care health system."
A study by Sarah Burgard, PhD, MS, MA, an RWJF Health & Society Scholars program alumna, and colleagues seeks to reconcile previous research that found unemployment increases probability of death, but recessions decrease it. Health Canal reports on the study, which found job loss is associated with a 73 percent increase in the probability of death; however, this increased risk affects only the unemployed and is outweighed by the ways economic slowdowns affect the health of the entire population through such factors as drops in traffic fatalities and reduced pollution. Laboratory Equipment and Red Orbit are among the outlets also covering Burgard's work.
Seeking mental health care may not help people who are lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) who are experiencing depression, Edge News reports, citing a study by Ilan H. Meyer, PhD, that found seeking treatment from a mental health or medical provider did not reduce the odds of a suicide attempt for this population. "Public health officials and health service providers ought to ensure that LGB individuals who seek mental health treatment, whether it is in medical or religious settings, receive competent mental health services that is relevant to their needs," said Meyer, recipient of an RWJF Investigator Award in Health Policy Research.
How long parents live may be associated with their children's educational attainment. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports on a study article co-authored by Esther Friedman, PhD, that found parents of college graduates lived about two years longer, on average, than parents of children who did not complete high school. Better-educated children may influence their parents to adopt healthier lifestyles, the authors suggest. Friedman is an RWJF Health & Society Scholars program alumna.
