Q: I have taken many depression tests/quizzes and they say I may have sever depression. I don't think my parents will believe me. My close friends have also been saying I seem depressed and such. What should I do?
A: Bottom line is that you have to find a way to talk to your parents so they can help you get to a therapist. If you don't think you can do this on your own, maybe you could talk to another family member you trust such as a sibling or grandparent who then could help you tell your parents. You can also request to see your school counselor who can then guide you in the right direction. You might try writing a letter to your parents telling them how you feel and asking them for help. No matter what though, you have to talk to them before things get worse. Good luck.

Pembrokeshire badger cull appeal decision due
Protesters trying to prevent a cull of around 1,500 badgers in south-west Wales are to learn if their legal challenge has been successful.
The Badger Trust is appealing against Welsh Assembly Government plans for a trial cull to reduce TB within cattle.
The trust has questioned the cull's effectiveness, though farmers losing diseased stock are calling for action.
Three law lords are due to announce if the trust's appeal against a judicial review has been successful.
The cull is one measure of many, as compensation payments to farmers cost taxpayers £24m last year alone.
The assembly government outlined its plans for a pilot cull of badgers within a 288 sq km (111 sq miles) area of south-west Wales in September 2008.
The go-ahead was given in January.
The main focus in this Court of Appeal judgement will be how the three judges evaluate the science behind the proposed badger cull.
The Badger Trust brought the case on two grounds - how much benefit would come from a cull in terms of reducing TB in cattle in the long term, and that no proper balance of the expected benefit of the cull has been made in relation to effects on wildlife.
The Welsh Assembly Government conceded it plans to amend its TB Eradication (Wales) Order - the legal authority needed to cull badgers - from across the country, to just the proposed culling area.
Because of that the trust have already claimed this appeal has been won.
But the real focus will be on the two main arguments which are centred on the science of whether a cull is justified or not.
And even if the judges found on behalf of the assembly government, a new order will have to be laid to authorise a cull.
It may be the assembly government could be forced to more consultation, debates and an another vote to re-assess how much support there is for a badger cull.
It has not said when it will begin, or the exact area; but it is known to lie mostly in north Pembrokeshire, extending into Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire.
More than half the TB compensation paid out across Wales goes to farmers in the area.
Under the proposed five year cull, badgers will be trapped in cages and shot.
Leave to appealAnti-cull protesters, led by the Badger Trust, argue it has not yet been scientifically proven that badgers are implicated in the transmission of TB within cattle and it doubts a cull would help eradicate the disease.
On June 11, the trust won leave to appeal against the outcome of a judicial review that backed the assembly government's plans.
Three law lords hearing the case are expected to announce their decision after 1000 BST on Tuesday.
Tensions in the proposed cull area are said to be running high.
Some landowners have protested against the cull, arguing that they were not properly consulted and that the badgers should be vaccinated rather than shot.
Others who support the proposed cull say they are wary of speaking out about the issue for fear of reprisal.
Vaccination trialsIn England, Defra, the UK government department responsible for rural affairs, has begun trialling a programme designed to stop the spread of TB within cattle by vaccinating badgers.
Six trial zones for vaccinating were identified but only one remains, near Stroud, Gloucestershire.
The first badgers there were vaccinated and released on 5 July.
The Welsh Assembly Government said it would not be making any further comment on the cull until the court had made its judgement.

Nobody is quite sure how WWAY's John Rendleman got invited to play against the Harlem Globetrotters Friday night at Trask Coliseum, but once the invitation came, the Washington Generals' secret weapon said, "I had to accept it."
It was a wonderful night for everyone in attendance. Both young and old felt like kids as the Globetrotters worked their magic.
As for Rendleman, well he scratched the score sheet hitting a free throw after Big Easy fouled him, although he paid the price by taking a brutal spanking before stepping to the charity stripe.
It was a night most will never forget, including Rendleman. After all how often do you get to be on the same court as the Globetrotters?

A girl in our school committed suicide 8 days before the end of the school year. Everyone went to her funeral. But when we got back to school, the other girls just continued saying things like;
"She was useless anyway."
"and ugly too."
"She probably just wanted attention, but she took it too far."
"Leave it to her to make that mistake, she was a stupid slut in life, and she's still one in death."
I couldn't take hearing that, so I took the guys (Because I'd rather hang out with all boys than hang out with bitched like that.) and we walked down to the office, refusing to go back to our classroom until those girls got their punishment for saying such harsh and cruel things.
What's worse is I knew the girl, she was one of the only girls I hung out with, and it was only because she was a nice, and truly honest girl. She was far better than those hoes at our school will ever be, but they drove her to that. They're supposed to be women, but the have no compassion, or love for anyone. No matter how sad the story, they were never swayed.
I found out one of the girls payed her older brother and his friends to beat her, the boys went farther than that, and I'm guessing that's what pushed her off the edge. Those grls were expelled, they won't be allowed back into our school, the older brother and his friends were all in college, and this girl was only fourteen, so along with being kicked from their schools, they're facing criminal charges for the rape of a minor.
I cried at her funeral, I smiled when justice was served, and I did my best to make sure the boys and girls got what was coming to them. But one thing I did wrong, the one thing I'll always regret, is that I wasn't there for her, and even though I also went through this once, I didn't recognize it in her. When she faked a smile, I knew it was fake, but I went along with it, I didn't think she wanted to talk about it, I should've made her, I should've done all I could to help her, but I didn't. And for that, I'll never forgive myself.
~ Stevey.

Submerged Superstorm Debris Threatens Tourism
Crews in Hempstead, N.Y., have removed 379 tons of debris from waterways since Sandy hit. Neighboring Babylon has retrieved 50 tons, including two tool sheds fully intact, with tools still inside, and 24 destroyed boats.
Fairfield, Conn., needs to remove debris left in marshlands by the storm, including bicycles, picnic tables and backyard furniture, said First Selectman Michael Tetreau. The town is waiting to use special equipment from the state to remove the debris without harming the marshes.
Fairfield also saw significant beach erosion and needs to dredge its harbor and marina because sand was pushed into the waterways. Tetreau doubts the work will be done before Memorial Day, and said there may be limits on boat traffic.
In Brick, N.J., the lagoon on which Mayor Stephan Acropolis lives is filled with junk, including the front door and part of a wall from one of three houses that burned during the storm. Also in the lagoon are a kids' picnic table, a 50-gallon plastic barrel holding who-knows-what, and two docks from homes two blocks away.
Acropolis is counting on the state to quickly remove the marine debris to prevent even deeper economic losses from the storm. "Someone goes out crabbing; they buy gas for the boat, maybe they have to rent the boat in the first place. They buy bait, they buy lunch," Acropolis said. "It's a big economic impact. People live here because they want to be on the water, out on a boat. If we don't get this cleaned up, we're going to have a problem." ___ Associated Press writers Frank Eltman in Freeport, N.Y., and John Christoffersen in Fairfield, Conn., contributed to this report. ___ Wayne Parry can be reached at http://twitter.com/WayneParryACCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

I haven't had any problem finding bullets near me. Have you tried any 300gr hard cast bullets? I like them over the plated soft points.
im using a ruger 44 carbine semi-auto. i dont want the added hassle of cleaning the gas port which is not easy. i bought it for 150$ a few months ago from a guy that said it was crap cuz it always jammed and currently didnt cycle. he had been using lead bullets so i knew all it needed was a cleaning. i have 70 left which will be enough for deer season. will be the first year not using my model 70. hollow points leave too much meat damage. a couple of trips to the range and 300 rounds down range and i fell in love with this gun. currently have a nikon monarch 1.5-4 scope. here in se wisconsin only loading parts come from cabelas, gander mountain and one small shop called fletcher arms. all of em have limited stocks and i regularly clean them out of .429 and.458 300-350grn bullets.
I havne't had a problem at all, anything above 240 has been in ready supply. I've had a harder time finding the light 44 (185gr) bullets.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline... "the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
the online sellers i know of all out of stock no back order. the local shops dont carry much in the way of components was wondering if its local and it appears so. thanks
Jon I am really sorry to hear about the shortage. I normally buy some of my stuff online do googles for midway, midsouth and wideners shooting supplies. I live in a small town and the shops here can not keep up with demand so this is how i cure my itch. If you still have problems you can send me that rifle you can keep the scope we dont want it damaged. Thanks
I cast my 44 bullets. Have you ever considered getting into bullet casting? Patret

UN mulls drone use to monitor Central Africa conflict
Published on May 4, 2014 10:15 AM
BANGUI, Centrafrique (AFP) - The United Nations is considering the use of unarmed drones to monitor sectarian violence in the Central African Republic, a UN official said on Saturday, ahead of the deployment in September of 12,000 peacekeepers in the restive nation.
UN under-secretary-general for peacekeeping operations Herve Ladsous said he was thinking about the possible deployment of unmanned aircraft systems to see what is happening on the ground.
"I think this is a very useful instrument in this type of territory," he told a news conference in the Central African capital.
The UN force will be taking over from 2,000 French and 6,000 African Union soldiers already in place.

Treatment with combined estrogen/progestin doubles the risk of VTE in post-menopausal women and for obese women the risk is even higher, a recent study showed. However millions of women no longer taking HRT remain at risk of osteoporosis, which presents a huge market opportunity for non-hormonal classes in treating and preventing osteoporosis.

Limitations in the ability to optimize dose modification within the clinical trial setting represents a serious bottleneck in the drug development process. This barrier increases development time, causes the unnecessary early termination of valuable candidates and adds up to $300 million/drug in costs. Petra Biotek are set to knock down these barriers through their computer-based Cycle Dose Modification system. The positive impact that this technology is expected to have on the clinical developm

Recruitment is a very inexact science – the statistics in favour of making the right decision based on the traditional interview alone are horrifyingly low (the percentage is in single figures). This is a fact that has really only been acknowledged in recent years and, as a result, organisations have looked for ways to improve the success rate of their selection choices.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), caused by systemic atherosclerosis, is vastly underappreciated despite its abysmal mortality rates. With 5 and 10-year rates of 30% and 50% respectively mortality due to PAD is greater than that caused by coronary artery disease and stroke and is exceeded only by colorectal cancer. Better use of the pharmacological and interventional treatments available would dramatically improve the lives of the millions of PAD patients while at the same time ballooning the r

Letters to the Editor
Readers write about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Israel must defend itself from hostile Hamas
In regard to the Dec. 29 editorial, "Beyond bombs and rockets in Gaza": This editorial states that, "By moving so forcefully in Gaza, Israel appears to be putting immediate concerns ahead of long-term peace prospects." What other country in the world would tolerate daily rocket attacks on its civilian population without responding through military decisiveness?
After eight years and more than 8,000 rockets landing in communities near Gaza, Israel finally made the only logical decision to protect its citizens, namely eliminating strategic Hamas military targets through pinpointed strikes. Since Hamas has repeatedly vowed to fight until Israel is destroyed, "peace prospects" unfortunately can't be included in the current lexicon.
The editorial on short-term warfare sacrificing long-term hopes for peace misses a very important point: Hamas has no interest in any kind of peace with Israel. The Hamas Charter, in Article 7, calls not only for the extermination of Israel, but also of all Jews living there.
As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. It would appear that only Israel is on the dance floor at the present time. That being the case, Hamas should be crushed as soon as possible, before aid from Iran strengthens them.

- Did you know?
- Dustin Tokarski hasn't fared too well at the Bell Centre early in his career. In 6 home starts, he has a 2-2-2 record but a subpar 3.50 GAA and a .886 SV%.
When he signed with the Habs two summers ago, Jaroslav Spacek was expected to be an anchor on the powerplay but that hasn't been the case yet. With nearly half of the defence who suited up in the playoffs having moved on though, 2011-12 could be a year of opportunity for the Czech blueliner.
It was a season full of offensive struggles and injuries for Spacek as his games played total was his lowest since the lockout while his goal total (one) was a career low. He did, however, elevate his physical play compared to his first campaign in Montreal as he surpassed the one hit per game mark. He was also a non-factor with the man advantage as he had just three powerplay points (all assists).Season Stats: 59 GP, 1 goals, 15 assists, +9, 45 PIMS, 0 PPG, 0 GWG, 65 shots, 19:14 TOI
5-Year Averages
Goals: 5
Assists: 22
Points: 27
+/-: +9
Shots: 93
2011-12 Role
For the first time with the Habs, Spacek won't have fellow countryman Roman Hamrlik playing alongside him. That coupled with the returns of Josh Gorges and Andrei Markov will force him onto the 3rd pairing where he'll likely see time with youngsters Alexei Yemelin and Yannick Weber while also sitting the odd game in the pressbox. Assuming Montreal goes with the traditional three forward, two defenceman powerplay units, Spacek should still see some time, albeit limited, on the man advantage. Expect his average time on ice to drop considerably though, closer to the 16-17 minute range.
Projected Stats
As much as I'd like to be optimistic, I expect Spacek will put up similar production as he has in his first couple of seasons with the Canadiens. A likely reduction in ice time while playing with a rookie or near-rookie aren't generally recipes for a bounce back season. In standard points leagues, you'd be wise to stay away unless you're in a very deep league. However, he does hold a little more value in head-to-head leagues as he has been on the positive side in plus/minus for six consecutive seasons. As a late round pick in a deep league with that format, he brings a modicum of upside to the table.GP:
Goals: 3
Assists: 16
Points: 19
+/-: +6
Shots: 71

Own a gun and a marijuana card = OK
Carry a gun in public while "high" on anything, including marijuana = Not OK
This is a discussion on Medical Marijuana User Demands Gun Rights within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Own a gun and a marijuana card = OK Carry a gun in public while "high" on anything, including marijuana = Not OK KISS...
Own a gun and a marijuana card = OK
Carry a gun in public while "high" on anything, including marijuana = Not OK
Human Beings understand Reason, Compassion, and Dignity

I believe one of the key reasons marijuana isn't already legal is that there is currently no technology equivalent to the breath-o-lyzer(tm). They can determine if you've smoked some weed as far back as thirty days ago using a variety of techniques including hair samples. That said, there is no way to determine if someone is "high", and to what degree.
With alcohol, they use a very simple test that calculates blood-alcohol levels. It gives you a decent idea of how that person's motor skills are being impaired. Field kits for blood-alcohol testing are cheap and fairly accurate. Pot smokers are only arrested for possession, not for "being high". They can't really determine that with any accuracy.
I realize the last discussion on this topic was back in April and I wish I'd seen it back then. But, I have a question and maybe someone has an opinion or suggestion. I've been taking a pain relieving medication for several years for what's called "nerve pain" from an old injury. The medication I take is one of those you hear about people stealing from pharmacies all the time. (My doctor prescribes it and I buy mine at the pharmacy.) I take a medium dose and it helps with the pain. It doesn't work as well as it used to, but I haven't asked for an increased dose and I've been taking it for so long that I don't feel any side effects. It doesn't cause drowsiness and it doesn't seem to slow down my reaction time or cause problems with my thinking process. I don't have problems driving and I've never had a reason to operate heavy equipment
I've been carrying concealed for the past 4 years and I practice at a local range at least once or twice a month. Although I'm getting older, I can hit the center of the target pretty well.
My question is this, if I were in a situation where it became necessary to draw and fire my weapon to protect my life or the life of my loved ones, would a prosecutor or the bad guy's attorney make a big deal out of the fact I take this medication? I don't drink alcohol or use marijuana, but maybe that wouldn't matter in a court of law.
Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Yes Micah, the thread is rather old although I too was in your situation and eventually I decided to stop my regimen. After a few weeks I noticed a subtle improvement in my coordination and it continued to improve over time. Previously I did not feel I was compromised but the results were unmistakeable. Its just the insidious nature of certain meds over time. Personally, I feel it would be very similar for users of MJ.

If you are involved in a SD shooting it is in your best interests that you have no mood or mind altering substances onboard legal or otherwise,if it becomes known that you use drugs in any form and do so on a dauily basis a Prosecutor can use it to influence a jury,and if you get a jury of mom and pop retirees and business owners you could end up in a really bad place

I don't use drugs, unless prescribed, and I seldom drink...but I have to agree here. Legal is legal! One has to decide for himself or herself if guns and "whatever" should be mixed at a particular time.
Just because I've had a couple of beers in the hot tube, or some pain med after some surgery...I don't think my 2A rights should suddenly disappear.
I do believe that there is some value in the pot used as medication for some things (and I do realize that the ability to get med marijuana is highly abused), never-the-less...if an individual has the script for some meds, he/she should still be able to use his firearm for protection while exercising some common sense.OMOYMV

Have at it pot users. Goes for the alcohol users as well. Use your firearm and don't forget to turn the light out on your house and your belongings and your bank account once the "shootee" sues the iiving daylights out of you. Oh, did I forget if you are drunk or stoned, have a nice time in jail. You can do what you want but just be willing to face the consequences; seems to be lost in this country these days--everything is someone else's fault--ask George Bush.
I don't support the blaming of inanimate objects for the behavior of human beings.
Well, for once we agree on something MadMac.

Everyone is concentrating on the wrong thing I believe. They are not trying to take away her rights for being under the influence they are trying to take them away because she has been prescribed a drug. Having a prescription does not make you high.Willis is not only packing a concealed handgun permit in her wallet, she also has a medical marijuana card. That combination has led the local sheriff to try to take her gun permit away.
How many of us are forced to give up our rights when we are given a prescription for a controlled drug? Do you turn in your drivers license when taking drugs that specify on the label not to be taken when operating machinery?
It seems that some believe that because there is no reliable test to show that you're high on pot that the government should be able to assume you are high. The fact I cannot prove something should not shift the burden of proof onto the accused.
haha. That article is about a 54 year old gun toting, pot smoking granny?!
Are we talking bout Medea!?!
Nothing has yet to convince me there is any need for medical marijuana. When the California medical marijuana lobby listed "writers cramp" as enough reason to get a prescription for marijuana,well it just seemed to me to be a thinly veiled loophole so potheads would'ent get poped.
I say they can have there dope or a CCW-- NOT BOTH!
Some people feel the same way about guns and CCW.
The fact is some people will always misuse things. IMO, that's not a good reason to ban the use of such things by the responsible.
Of course this is a political issue and what's at the heart of what's wrong in this country. And what's wrong is narrow subsets of constituents are constantly lobbying and corrupting politicians for their way or the highway, or prison at taxpayer expense in this case.
I see nothing in the 2nd amendment that is an 'or' or a 'but'. Nor do I see any reference to a plant that up until 1937 was perfectly legal.

A Birmingham woman found guilty of reckless manslaughter was sentenced today. Jessica Branham was convicted of hitting and killing Randy Colburn with her vehicle last August. It happened in the parking lot of Cici's Pizza on Center Point Parkway. Branham told authorities she had used cocaine three times the day she hit Colburn. The last time was just moments before she ran over him with her Kia Aorento, according to authorities.
Today Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Teresa Pulliam sentenced Branham to 10 years in prison, but she will only have to serve three in jail. This is the result of Pulliam choosing a split sentence, in which the maximum prison term is three years. Another twist in the story may impact how she serves her sentence: Branham is pregnant. Pulliam asked Branham if she got pregnant in an attempt to sway Pulliam's decision. Branham replied "no," saying it was an accident and she wished she wasn't pregnant, but she added, "It's a blessing from God." Pulliam told Branham when she reaches eight months in her pregnancy term, she will be released to have her baby. After Branham gives birth, the judge will decide if Branham can finish her sentence through community corrections or if she must return to prison. Today's sentencing was very emotional for Randy Colburn's family. His then fiance, son, daughter, and sister told the judge what type of impact his death has had on them. After the hearing, Jessica Branham said she has learned a lifelong lesson. Branham's attorney says she's remorseful. Branham doesn't have to report to prison until December 28, but up until that time she has to have a drug test every day because she's already tested positive twice for an undisclosed drug since she's been convicted.

@candyquilt-- That's an interesting question. I'm sure you're not the only one wondering that. I'm actually not sure. I've never tried it although I'm sure there are people out there who have.
I have a friend who uses ultrasonic transmitter and other electronic devices to identify ultrasonic signals. He has done a lot of research on ultrasonic and electromagnetic signals. He believes that these signals are used for intelligence as well as mind control. He is normally a very logical person. So although all of this sounds a little crazy to me, I don't want to reject his ideas completely. Most people do not use ultrasonic transmitters for these types of things however.

Los Abel by Ana Maria Matute
Uniquely precocious within the Hispanic fiction -published when author Ana Maria Matute was 22 years old- «Los Abel» reached the finals of the 1947 Nadal prize. It was positively received, due both to the prestige of the prize and the surprise created by the rising of this feminine youthful voice that continued the disruption created by Carmen Laforet's «Nada». However the canonical critique proved unable to fully appreciate the originality of this novel that, baffling censors, trespassed the Spanish dictatorship moral order for women and set the Spanish novel within the trend of universal fiction. The struggle between good and evil, so vivid during and after the Spanish civil war, constitutes a recurring subject in Matute's novels.

Let's drink to Adelaide's capital claim
PUBLISHED: 11 Apr 2013 00:46:44 | UPDATED: 12 Apr 2013 00:05:24PUBLISHED: 12 Apr 2013 PRINT EDITION: 12 Apr 2013Tim White
What makes a wine town or city great? It's not something I think about much, I admit – you sort of feel when a place is a good one to be in after all. But a joint announcement by the South Australian government and South Australian Wine Industry Association (SAWIA) claiming Adelaide as Australia's wine capital has got me pondering the matter.
The association makes some strong points in its claim that Adelaide is Australia's wine capital. First among them is that South Australia produces 72 per cent of the premium wine in Australia. There's also the fact that wine contributes more than $2 billion to the state's economy and is a significant employer; that so many significant technological innovations have emanated from its wine regions, and that world-leading wine institutions such as the Australian Wine Research Institute are based in SA. No one could take issue with any of this.
The country's most famous wine, Penfolds Grange, comes from South Australia, and the state is also home to some of the country's oldest family wine businesses.
Perhaps even more meritorious is that the state's vineyards have never succumbed to the grape louse phylloxera, and hence have some of the oldest vines of their kind in the world. This last fact is indisputable and the envy of the world, with cuttings of old vine material having been re-transplanted back to the Old World.
Interestingly, there's no mention of Penfolds Magill Estate in the association's fact sheet Why Adelaide is the Wine Capital of Australia. Magill is a unique vineyard and winery well within Adelaide's city limits. Such places are rare in Europe and now almost unheard-of in Australia.
The fact sheet also points out that, "Adelaide is the only Australian city that has seven wine regions and 200 cellar doors within an hour's drive [McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Adelaide Hills, Clare]."
Now I'd take issue with this, because the fastest you can get to the Clare Valley, to Auburn, the southernmost township, and the first vineyards in Clare proper is one hour and 20 minutes. I'd also suggest that "within an hour" to Langhorne Creek is optimistic.
But, putting aside all these claims, what makes a great wine town? For this writer it goes way beyond what wine is produced, in what quantity, or quality and by whom. It is how wine is sold, traded, consumed and enjoyed, and how much it is embedded in the fabric of the place. Vienna, for example, is indisputably a great wine city, arguably the greatest. No other city boasts as many vineyards (hundreds of hectares) within its city limits, or the number of cellar doors just 30 minutes from the city centre. The city, which is of a similar size to Adelaide, is as imbued with wine as it is with music.
SA Premier Jay Weatherill, who conceded the capital brand was "ambitious", touched upon this in his speech when he spoke of the new licensing laws just gazetted in Parliament, allowing for a much easier entry into the market of smaller wine bars and eateries. This reform will have much the same effect as it did in Melbourne 20-odd years ago, and for Sydney wine lovers over the past few years.
There are already a number of new bars and eateries adding to the richness of the Adelaide weave, and this initiative will only encourage more. However you want to title it, Adelaide is a pretty good place to enjoy a glass of wine.

By MICHAEL FALCONE (@michaelpfalcone) and AMY WALTER (@amyewalter)
- EVOLVE AND EMBRACE: President Obama put to rest the speculation and publicly expressed support for same-sex marriage in a conversation with ABC's Robin Roberts at the White House yesterday. But, as ABC's Political Director Amy Walter points out, "This is a personal decision but one that doesn't come with a political agenda."
- HISTORIC INTERVIEW: Watch the full interview and read the transcript of Robin Roberts' sit-down with President Obama: http://abcn.ws/ILfug5
- OH, OHIO! It's going to be a roller-coaster of a presidential race in this critical swing state, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll that shows President Obama and Mitt Romney in a statistical dead heat. Would choosing Ohio Sen. Rob Portman as his running mate help or hurt Romney's chances in the Buckeye state?
- NOTE IT! ABC's Jake Tapper notes that there's no question about it – the White House is "irritated" that Vice President Joe Biden forced the president's hand on gay marriage and Rick Klein weighs in on why Mitt Romney's response to yesterday's news was "remarkably tame."
Instead of dancing on the head of a pin — and looking like the crassest form of a politician in doing so — President Obama said what friends and foes alike already believed was his true stance on the issue.
This was a shock to no one.
But yesterday, in an exclusive interview at the White House with ABC's Robin Roberts, the president offered support for same-sex marriage without specifics.
"I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," the President Obama told Roberts. http://abcn.ws/JZQFkq
This is a personal decision but one that doesn't come with a political agenda. No bill will be offered. No Department of Justice action will be taken. The fight does not get engaged.
There is bigger upside in motivating the base — especially younger people — than in motivating those on the other side. And, there's no incentive for presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney to push this. Any day that he's talking about anything other than "how bad the economy is under President Obama" is a wasted one.
African-American voters are much less supportive than any other segment of the Democratic constituency, but, this issue will not diminish their support for the first African-American president and their desire to see him re-elected.
This may only further alienate Obama from rural, older white voters. But, for the ones motivated more by the economy than social issues, gay marriage will not determine their vote in November.
The one state where some Democrats and Republicans believe it could hurt Obama is North Carolina. White voters already view him skeptically there and yesterday's announcement could push them over the edge.
But, the race for the White House is going to be won or lost in the suburbs of northern Virginia, Denver, and Philadelphia. And in these places gay marriage is a non-issue.
CAMPAIGNING ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE. The Obama campaign moved quickly to amplify President Obama's public support for same-sex marriage, starting with a fundraising message sent last night in the president's name: "I was asked a direct question and gave a direct answer: I believe that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry," he wrote. He also appealed to his supporters to "stand with me" by providing their names and e-mail addresses and donate to the campaign.
This morning the Obama campaign unveiled a new web video titled: "Mitt Romney: Backwards on Equality," which highlights the differences between Obama's stance on same-sex marriage and that of Mitt Romney, who has expressed support for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. The video features a clip of Romney at a Republican primary debate, saying: "Calling it marriage creates a whole host of problems for families, for the law for the practice of religion, for education. Let me say this, 3,000 years of human history shouldn't be discarded so quickly." The words: "President Obama is moving us forward," flash on the screen. "Mitt Romney would take us back." WATCH: http://bit.ly/J2Q510
So what does President Obama's support for gay marriage mean for 2012? ABC News Political Director Amy Walter surveyed a gaggle of smart pollsters — Democrat and Republican — and found the following: http://abcn.ws/K0jqxe
–Not Much: One GOP pollster summed it up this way: "Voters who are strongly against gay marriage — that is, voters who would allow a candidate's support for gay marriage to determine their vote — are not going to vote for the president anyway." A Democratic pollster said this: "From a purely political calculation … it is even or a slight net plus" for the president in 2012.
–Helps Fire Up the Democratic Base: "He should come out in support of gay marriage, and at least get some credit from his liberal base," said a Republican strategist. A Democratic pollster emails: "I do believe this is a great stroke for the base, insiders and funders."
–Hurts Obama in Southern/Rural States and With Working Class Voters: A GOP pollster says, "He fires up the left, writes off N.C., and makes Va. more problematic." A Democratic pollster who does a lot of work in the South agrees that it could hurt Obama's chances to win Virginia, Florida and North Carolina. It may also have a negative impact for Obama in Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
THE INTERVIEW: In the interview with ABC's Robin Roberts yesterday, President Obama described his thought process as an "evolution" that led him to this decision, based on conversations with his staff members, openly gay and lesbian service members, and his wife and daughters. http://abcn.ws/JZQFkq
'I THINK ABOUT MEMBERS OF MY OWN STAFF' "I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together; when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that 'don't ask, don't tell' is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," Obama told Roberts.
'THE KIND OF THING THAT PROMPTS A CHANGE' "It's interesting, some of this is also generational," the president noted. "You know when I go to college campuses, sometimes I talk to college Republicans who think that I have terrible policies on the economy, on foreign policy, but are very clear that when it comes to same-sex equality or, you know, sexual orientation, that they believe in equality. They are much more comfortable with it. You know, Malia and Sasha, they have friends whose parents are same-sex couples. There have been times where Michelle and I have been sitting around the dinner table and we're talking about their friends and their parents and Malia and Sasha, it wouldn't dawn on them that somehow their friends' parents would be treated differently. It doesn't make sense to them and, frankly, that's the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective."
–Obama Cites 'Winds of Change' in Same-Sex Marriage Shift: http://bit.ly/K4R56G
–Obama: Foiled al Qaeda Plot Not a Surprise: http://abcn.ws/JY6L9H
–Obama Calls Romney Auto Bailout Claim an 'Etch-a-Sketch Moment': http://abcn.ws/JY6zHv
Watch the full interview and read the transcript of Robin Roberts' interview with President Obama: http://abcn.ws/ILfug5
ABC's JAKE TAPPER on the White House's view of Joe Biden: "They are irritated; don't let anyone fool you on that. And gay rights groups are giving Joe Biden credit for the president's 'evolution' on as if he were Charles Darwin. But the fact of the matter is, the vice president — this is a gaffe by him." WATCH: http://abcn.ws/IEGsqS
ABC's RICK KLEIN: Among the flood of angry statements from Republicans yesterday, Mitt Romney's reaction — calling same-sex marriage a "tender and sensitive topic" about which "other people have differing views" — was remarkably tame. But that's likely to be the calm before the storm. Attacks on President Obama's new position are likely to come from outside groups; count the days until a SuperPAC organizes around the issue. This was one of those rare moments where the presidency allowed the president to look, well, presidential. But nothing bold in politics is truly risk-free.
ALL TIED UP IN OHIO. According to a new Quinnipiac University poll out this morning, President Obama and Mitt Romney are running neck-and-neck in the crucial battleground state with Obama receiving 45 percent support to Romney's 44 percent. Would picking Ohio Sen. Rob Portman to be his running mate help Mitt Romney? Here's what today's poll says: "The Romney-Portman v. Obama-Biden matchup compares to a February 15 survey in which Obama had 46 percent to Romney's 44 percent without running mates, moving to Obama-Biden at 47 percent to Romney-Portman at 43 percent. 'Adding Sen. Rob Portman to the Romney ticket produces no measurable change, despite speculation about Portman's potential for helping Romney carry the key state of Ohio,' said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling institute." http://bit.ly/JiIUVw
with ABC's Chris Good (@c_good)
ABC NEWS VIDEO: WHERE IS AMERICA ON GAY MARRIAGE? ABC's Jake Tapper reports on age and racial divisions: While Americans support gay marriage 52 percent to 43 percent, most over 65 and most African Americans don't. http://abcn.ws/LmOXsw
MIXED POLLING NUMBERS ON MARRIAGE. ABC's Elizabeth Hartfield revisits California's Proposition 8 vote: On the whole, younger people tended to support same-sex marriage by a considerably larger margin than older demographics. White voters between the ages of 18 and 29 voted against Proposition 8 67 percent to 33 percent. Latino voters between 18 and 29 voted against the measure 59 percent to 41 percent. http://abcn.ws/KoVCmn
NOTED: BUT NOT ON MILITARY BASES? Not if the House Armed Services Committee has a say. The Hill's Carlo Munoz on how the committee added language to the Defense authorization bill on Thursday: The measure, which prevents "marriage or marriage-like ceremonies" between same-sex couples from taking place at American military bases, was approved by a 37 to 24 vote along party lines." http://bit.ly/IZR3ld
OBAMA'S EVOLUTION TIMELINE. ABC's Devin Dwyer: FEBRUARY 1996: "I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages," reads a typed, signed statement from then-Illinois state senate candidate Obama in response to a questionnaire by the Chicago LGBT newspaper "Outlines." http://abcn.ws/IUkSlT
GAY MARRIAGE DIDN'T TURN '04 ELECTION. Some have said ballot initiatives stirred turnout for George W. Bush, but ABC's Matthew Dowd writes: The gay marriage initiatives in 2004 on the ballot in 11 states had no discernable effect on turnout among conservatives. Yes, that's right, none. Not even in Ohio, which was a swing state in 2004 won in a close contest by former President Bush. http://abcn.ws/IK5R1i
REACTIONS: THE CRITICS. Log Cabin Republicans called Obama's timing "offensive and callous"; Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., called it "irrelevant pandering"; the National Organization for Marriage and the Family Research Council warned that Obama has made gay marriage an issue for November. http://abcn.ws/J1BnXW
REACTIONS: THE CELEBRATORS. Gay-rights advocates lavished praise on Obama. Human Rights Campaign said Obama "made history"; Servicemembers Legal Defense Network called Wednesday a "great day for gay and lesbian service members." Follow the link for more statements. http://abcn.ws/LQsiaD
REACTIONS: THE DONORS. The Los Angeles Times' Joseph Tanfani, Matea Gold and Melanie Mason report that gay donors are "thrilled": "Today has focused attention and enthusiasm in an almost cathartic way," said Andrew Tobias, treasurer of the Democratic National Committee and a top bundler for Obama. "Within minutes, people were calling with their credit cards. They're thrilled." http://lat.ms/JgEsog
ROMNEY DOESN'T CALL IT A FLIP-FLOP. ABC's Emily Friedman: "I believe marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman," said Romney at an impromptu news conference following a speech in Oklahoma City this afternoon. … "I believe that, based upon the interview he gave today on ABC, it said that he had changed his view, but you're a better judge of that than I am," said Romney. "I just saw the reports that he had previously said he opposed same sex marriage and now, according to ABC News, he said that he supports it. So if that's the case you'll have to make that determination on your own." http://abcn.ws/JazZWL
BOEHNER: MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. ABC's John Parkinson: "I have always believed that marriage was between a man and a woman," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told Fox Business in an interview this afternoon. The speaker suggested the reignited debate over gay marriage is a distraction to other legislative business on Capitol Hill, especially considering the state of the economy. http://abcn.ws/LTq5eI
NOTED: COLORADO TO HOLD SPECIAL SESSION ON CIVIL UNIONS. The state's legislative session ended Wednesday as lawmakers sought to push multiple civil-union bills. The Denver Post reports: "Gov. John Hickenlooper said Wed nesday that he would call the special session to make sure there was ample time to debate a civil unions bill. House Republicans complained that Democrats were trying to push the bill through the House at the last minute, but critics said GOP lawmakers blocked the bill from coming to a vote by holding prolonged and sometimes-silly debates over lesser bills." http://bit.ly/LWyLB0
OBAMA: IN THE MONEY. President Obama heads west to Washington and California today for a day of fundraising that will net at least $9 million for the Obama Victory Fund and several state Democratic parties, according to figures provided by the campaign. ABC's Devin Dwyer reports that Obama will attend two afternoon fundraisers in Seattle, Wash. – a $17,900-per-person afternoon brunch with 70 supporters at a private residence and a concert fundraiser at the Paramount Theater with 1,800 fans. Dave Matthews will also perform at the Paramount event, where tickets started at $1,000 per person. The third and final event of the day is the mega-fundraiser at the Los Angeles home of actor George Clooney. 150 guests are expected, including one lucky winner of the campaign's grassroots donor sweepstakes. Most of the supporters will fork over $40,000 apiece or more.
GOP COUNTER-PROGRAMMING. In honor of President Obama's fundraiser with George Clooney, the Republican National Committee is circulating a memo titled: "A Day In The Life The Celebrity-In-Chief Fundraises With Celebrities." The memo features a series of press clips noting the glitzy nature of the president's West Coast fundraiser, including the fact that celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck will be catering tonight's high-dollar event at Clooney's home. The document also seeks to paint Obama as out of touch with real Americans — a turnabout on the argument Democrats have been using lately against Mitt Romney. http://bit.ly/JhRge1
ODD COUPLE: RON PAUL HAS BREAKFAST WITH BEN BERNANKE. It happened on Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal's Kristina Peterson reports: "The decision to meet for breakfast at the Fed was 'mutual,' said Mr. Paul, who last year introduced a bill to eliminate the central bank. The Fed chief and lawmaker had 'sort of an open discussion,' Mr. Paul said, while declining to provide any details of the conversation. 'It was off the record,' he said. The Fed declined to comment on the meeting." http://on.wsj.com/ILVcbh
GOP LEADERS SLOW CONTEMPT VOTE FOR HOLDER. Politico's John Bresnahan and Jake Sherman, on the plan of Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa, R.-Calif: "Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of California have decided to slow Rep. Darrell Issa's drive to hold the attorney general in contempt over the controversial Fast and Furious program, a move that could infuriate conservatives who have been calling for Holder's resignation. The delay could be a month or even longer, according to lawmakers and aides familiar with the issue." http://politi.co/J28KKf
SANTORUM CAN TAKE THE SUPER PAC REINS. ABC's Shushannah Walshe: The super PAC is becoming Santorum's PAC, while also remaining his super PAC. Yes, it's confusing, but it's a legal change that turns the Red, White, and Blue Fund into a hybrid political action committee that will also work as a traditional leadership PAC to push Santorum's message, support his political travel, cover administration costs and donate money to candidates he supports with similar views. … Now that Santorum is no longer a candidate or office-holder, he can coordinate with his super PAC, whereas that was forbidden when he was running for public office. http://abcn.ws/K4IErM
POST OFFICES TO STAY OPEN, CUT HOURS. ABC's Amy Bingham on the latest in USPS's ongoing financial woes: After 10 months of angst and outrage that spanned from rural Montana to Capitol Hill, the U.S. Postal Service announced Wednesday that the 3,700 post offices targeted in May for closing will remain open. Instead, USPS plans to reduce the hours of operation at 13,000 rural post offices from a full eight-hour day to between two and six open hours per day, a move that the struggling mail service claims will save about $500 million per year. http://abcn.ws/Jte6T3
@ZekeJMiller: Would we have a different GOP nominee if Obama had endorsed gay marriage in September?
@JimCourtovich: Avoiding Next Big Bailout http://on.wsj.com/JhGFl5
@PrestonCNN: Never too early: Marco Rubio will address the Greater Des Moines' Regional Economic Development Organization (visiting DC).

Sean Payton says he's confident an NCAA investigation which alleged wrongdoing by Reggie Bush and resulted in sanctions against Southern California won't be a distraction to the Super Bowl champion Saints.
The Saints' coach spoke after an open offseason practice Monday which Bush missed.
Payton says Bush had called to say he'd be missing the voluntary practice, but expected to attend practices later this week.
Payton says the NCAA probe spanned several seasons and adds that if it hasn't affected Bush or New Orleans to this point, it probably won't now.
Saints defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis, a former USC teammate of Bush, says he was saddened by the Trojans' punishment but says he still supports Bush and his school.
