As Tornadoes Become More Frequent, The Hanover Suggests Ways To Prepare
WORCESTER, Mass., July 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Most people take fire safety seriously and have fire extinguishers handy and escape routes pre-planned should a blaze threaten their home. Yet while tornadoes and the violent storms surrounding them are far more common than homeowners realize, many homeowners don't take the necessary steps to prepare for these destructive storms. On average, some 1200 tornadoes appear each year in the U.S.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20051031/NEM023LOGO )
With the possibility that the 2012 storm season will be a long and challenging one, The Hanover Insurance Group today provided tips to help home and business owners in tornado-prone states to prepare and minimize damages.
While tornadoes can occur in the United States during any month, weather conditions produce a peak season that runs through October. In areas of the country subject to the harshest storms, winds can far exceed those of even the strongest hurricanes, averaging between 110-205 mph.
"Tornadoes can form in every state east of the Rockies," said Mark Desrochers, president of The Hanover's personal lines business. "Preparing for a tornado is a practical safety precaution that should be taken by all households in these states. With proper preparations, home and business owners can significantly reduce the risks of injury to their family and pets, as well as damage to their property. This also enables them to recover quicker." To help prepare for a tornado and respond in the event one strikes, The Hanover suggests the following 10 tips: 1) Make an action plan. Prepare in advance so that when a tornado watch is issued, you already have an existing plan of action. Unlike hurricanes, which tend to be closely monitored for days, tornadoes can spring up quickly. In many cases, you will have to take shelter within minutes in your own home or a below-ground storm shelter. Experts advise never trying to outrun a tornado by car. Instead, move to the basement or to an inner windowless room or interior hall. Protect your head and neck with your arms and hands. Ensure everyone knows the action plan. 2) Create a survival kit. After a storm, it may be impossible to use roads for several days. You may be forced to live in your home for a while even if it is wrecked or you're without electricity and water. So, it's wise to assemble a survival kit containing a week's worth of non-perishable food, bottled water, paper plates and cups, eating utensils, medicines, first aid handbook and bandages, blanket, a radio, batteries, flashlight, soap and toiletries, bleach for disinfecting, and spare clothing. Store the kit in the basement or other safe area. 3) Have debris removal tools on-hand. There may be a significant amount of debris following a tornado that will have to be moved just to exit your structure. Some of this will be splintered wood and glass. With this in mind, store helpful items -- including heavy soled shoes, gloves, eye protection and a small shovel to safely move debris. This should be kept in the same area as your survival kit. 4) Create a home inventory. Tornadoes can destroy your home and its contents, making it difficult to document your property losses, which can impede your recovery. With a proper home inventory you will have an acceptable means of documenting ownership and value in the event of a claim. Photograph or shoot video of your entire home or business, including the contents of each room, and store these with a written inventory and serial numbers in a fireproof safe or safe deposit box. Automate the process using a free online inventory tool available at www.hanover.com. 5) Ensure you have proper coverages in place. It is always a good idea to review your homeowner's policy with your independent insurance agent, ensuring you have enough coverage for your contents and the physical structure as well. Also ask about other coverages that may be of value to you in the event of a tornado loss, such as reimbursement for temporary living expenses. 6) Create and share contact info. All family members should have the personal and business contact information (phone/email) for quick communications. Also ensure you have your agent and insurer's claims office numbers stored in your mobile phone. After a storm, cell service may be more accessible than local land lines. Have important numbers on hand to help expedite your recovery after the storm. It's important to keep your cell phone charged in advance, as power may be out for days. 7) Wait for official notice before returning home. If there is an evacuation after a storm, wait for official notice that it is safe to return to your home. When returning to your home, be cautious when entering a damaged structure. Stay away from damaged or weakened walls. 8) Take photographs and/or video documenting claim damage. Should your home or business be damaged in a tornado, take pictures of the entire scene and document all damage -- provided it is safe. Try not to remove items until an insurance adjuster has had an opportunity to visit the property and assess the damage. 9) Keep an accurate record of any temporary repairs or expenses. If you do need to make temporary repairs to help preserve the remains of your home or personal property, keep all records to ensure that they may be considered in your claim. 10) Engage with an Independent Agent. With careful preparation and planning -- and assistance from your insurance professional -- you can rest assured that you have the right coverages to meet your needs and a good plan of action in place. This will reduce the time and effort required to recover from a tornado and other major weather events. While no one can tell you for sure whether a tornado or other weather event will strike your area, they are occurring with increasing frequency. So it is a good idea to consult with a local Independent Agent, have the right insurance carrier to meet your needs, and to be as prepared as you can in advance of such events.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Unless your racing, in which case you most likely are not in a plastic boat, why bother? I paddle for exercise as much as anything, so a little extra drag is a good thing. My bottom is really rough, with gouges and every thing else and I really don't care. In fact, my ability to just run it up on shore and not have to worry about it is probably half the reason my fiberglass boat gets paddled so little. As in 3 paddles out of my last 190 paddles has been in my fiberglass boat! Want to buy a very little used Assateague reasonable?

The Demography of an Equitable and Stable Intergenerational Transfer System
PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) transfer schemes may take different forms. In this article I classify those proposed in the literature in three main classes. I present a new variant, labelled ES, or ?Equitable and Stable?, and discuss some of its distinctive features, with special regards to its demographic rationale. There are two main innovations in the proposed system: 1) its use of a reference, instead of the current, age structure, with the implication that, in each period, the system may incur deficits, or accumulate assets, that even out in the long run; 2) its use of average incomes of age groups (the young, adults, and the elderly) instead of average incomes of social groups (workers and pensioners). These novelties, combined with the use of relative (as opposed to absolute) incomes, create an original mechanism. Theoretical arguments and computer simulations indicate that ES differs from, and compares favourably with, other versions of PAYG.

Ten Fútbol Songs to Get You Pumped for the 2014 FIFA World Cup
6. New Order - "World in Motion"
Another Keith Allen collabo, this time with the much revered New Order. And am I the only one who thinks it riotous that this song would become their sole number-one hit? Seriously. It doesn't seem too fair, does it?
5. Los Mentas - "La Vinotinto"
This song by Los Mentas is an ode to the hard work that has happened with the beautiful sport in Venezuela, a nation traditionally linked to baseball. As a sign of solidarity while that country continues its woes and armed strife against the communist dictatorship of "President" Nicolás Maduro and because, even if your team does not qualify for the Cup, you can still sing and dream. Here's a little fun fact: Did you know that Vinotinto captain Juan Arango is by the numbers the best left-footed direct free kicker right now?

Could Shiloh be a GSD mix ?
Hello We adopted Shiloh he is originally from north central LA and is now home with is in WA. He is 5 years old and regardless if he's mixed or not we are so in love with him. He is our first GSD so I'm no expert on the breed but to me his ears are a shorter then most GSDs and the space between them is wider also his tail doesn't curl but he carries it high when he walks not straight up but compared to GSDs in person it's odd maybe a a little husky in him ?I'm just hoping to get a second opinion thank you

I see a purebred white GSD. He probably just has a "gay" tail. Some GSD's do. Doesn't make them a northern breed.

I believe he does have a "gay " tail as they say after doing some research on it. His ears are noticeably smaller compared to other GSDs that we know when you compare side my side so it makes him stand out but that's a good thing 😄 here is a full body shot of him his tail is down because he is standing still it raises when he walks

Looks a lot like my dog (minus the fact that my dog has a pink nose and big ears). My dog is also a rescue, so I also can't say for sure my dog is 100% GSD, but if nothing else, I am sure that he is high percentage GSD by both looks and behavior... of course the only thing that really matters to me is that he is a great dog and I love him to bits.

Dealing With Self-employment Income From Fellowships
Even if your student needs to report a portion of his scholarship or fellowship to the IRS, chances are good that any income tax liability on that money will be minimal; after all, students are not famous for being high-bracket taxpayers.
Unfortunately, if your student receives a fellowship or stipend in the form of payment in exchange for research or teaching in excess of $400 (as opposed to tuition reduction), and if that student is not treated as an employee of the organization paying the money, she's also subject to self-employment tax, the tax that any individual pays for Social Security and Medicare plus the matching amount that an employer would be required to contribute if you were employed by someone else.
And this tax really hurts — it's a flat 15.3 percent (the 7.65 percent you always pay for Social Security and Medicare taxes plus the matching 7.65 percent your employer would normally pay) of 92.35 percent (your full self-employment income less the 7.65 percent employer match that you now have to pay) of your self-employment income. No itemized deductions or exemptions are allowed (although valid expenses incurred in the process of earning this money can be deducted). The self-employment tax isn't graduated to be kinder to lower-income individuals, and you aren't allowed to apply any credits against it. So a graduate student who receives a $500 stipend in exchange for creating the index for a professor's
may well not pay any income tax on that money, but would have to cough up $70.65 to the IRS in self-employment tax. Your starving student will, no doubt, appreciate the fact that, 45 years down the road, she'll be entitled to receive Social Security and Medicare because she's made this payment now.Claiming The Hope Credit, Lifetime Learning Credits, And Tuition And Fees Deductions
If your student has to pay some tax on a scholarship, fellowship, or grant, he may also be eligible to take advantage of the Hope Credit, the Lifetime Learning Credit, or the tuition and fees deduction on his income tax return.
The precise rules of who may, or may not, use these credits and deductions, and to offset what expenses, are somewhat complex. The general point of all of them, however, is to give some tax relief to parents and/or students (depending on who is actually paying the education expenses) for the taxable income they're using to pay tuition and required fees at a qualified college. You aren't allowed to use expenses for room, board,
s, supplies, and living expenses in order to qualify for the credit, and income limitations exist for all three — if the person trying to claim the relief is making too much money, the credit or deduction will be limited or eliminated altogether.The basic outlines of these credits and deductions are as follows:
- Hope Credit: This is a $2,500 credit (100 percent of the first $2,000, and 25 percent of the second $2,000) against qualified tuition paid per student in the first two years of postsecondary education leading to a degree. You may claim this credit for only two years for each student, and you may not also claim a Lifetime Learning Credit for the same student in a year in which you claim the Hope Credit.
- Lifetime Learning Credit: This is a credit of up to $2,000 against the cost of qualified tuition payments at a rate of 20 percent (you need $10,000 worth of tuition expenses to claim the full credit). You may claim this for as many years as you have qualified expenses, but the credit is per tax return, not per student.
- Tuition and fees deduction: Up to $4,000 of qualified tuition and fees paid to a qualified postsecondary educational institution may be deducted from gross income if you used taxable funds to pay for those expenses and if you don't use those same taxable funds to claim either the Hope Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit. You may claim this deduction for as many years as you like, the courses for which you're paying tuition don't have to lead to a degree, and tuition for all members of your family for whom you claim a dependency exemption qualify.
Just as you do with almost every other tax provision, be careful not to double dip and use the same expenses to try to qualify for both a Hope or Lifetime Learning Credit and the tuition and fees deduction. On the other hand, many people pay tuition expenses far in excess of what is covered by any one of these credits or deductions. If you have enough qualified tuition expenses for enough people in your family, you could be eligible for both credits and the tuition and fees deduction in a single year.

Singaravelar lived on Kamarajar Salai in Chennai between 1860 and 1946
A public interest litigation petition has been filed in the Madras High Court with a plea that a memorial and a statue for Ma.Ve.Singaravelar, an advocate and freedom fighter, be erected on Kamarajar Salai here.
A.Gowdhaman, an advocate, submitted that Singaravelar lived between 1860 and 1946. He was an advocate practising in the High Court, a freedom fighter, a thinker and philanthropist. He took part in the Non-Cooperation Movement. His residence was on Kamarajar Salai, the present campus of the Lady Willingdon Institute of Advanced Study in Education. The then Governor took over the property and the training school was declared open on December 19, 1922. The takeover was protested, but in vain. A partition deed in 1904 showed that a property was purchased by Singaravelar and he lived there.

Dear farmer, those of us who don't make a living from the good earth need you. And we need to feel connected to you because we rely so heavily on your work.
The 2008 survey and report, "Place Matters," found a substantial majority of respondents in all rural regions would advise a teenager to leave for opportunities elsewhere. That's a sad statement. We must find the vision and political will to reverse that reality. We must find a way to bring rural America back to life.
Chrysler's Super Bowl ad narrated by Clint Eastwood reminds us that we — Americans — are gritty and resilient. We're the wet-behind-the-ears upstarts still writing our young country's first chapters. It also reminds us of what's so great about this country: the freedom to fail and the freedom to reinvent and the freedom to change.
Humane Society of the United States? Still don't trust 'em!
If we don't tell the public about agriculture, who will? You know who will. So are you ready to start talking yet?
"2012 will bring an added emphasis to a different kind of food celebrity — the farmer."
Why do bad things happen to good people? And what are the rest of us supposed to do now?
This year's Sports Illustrated's Sportswoman of the Year developed her ball skills in the hayloft of her family's barn. And the farm work ethic helped build Pat Summitt's eight NCAA championships with the Lady Vols of the University of Tennessee.
Purdue's Otto Doering: "We have a tendency in the U.S. to socialize losses and privatize gains." Don't expect to see much of that in the next farm bill.
The gospel song All Good Gifts, from the Broadway musical Godspell, is one of my favorite songs at this time of the year. I think it's because it marries the gratitude of the season with a grower's perspective. Planting a seed each season is simply an act of faith. We can do everything we can […]

"The beautiful floral postcards we ordered for our save the date announcements were absolutely perfect. The paper and color quality was fantastic. We are so happy with our order and are definitely using Wedding Paper Divas for our wedding invitations and thank you cards!"
"I was extremely satisfied with these cards. The quality is excellent and I was so pleased with the editing and customer service. These are exactly what I wanted, I will definitely be ordering my invitations through Wedding Paper Divas!"
"The printing quality and consistency is great. It's a simple yet elegant card. The only suggestion I would make is to have an option to exclude the wedding paper divas name on it (a pay option)"
"ordered these because we needed have save the dates out yesterday and didn't have time to wait for a picture. yes, there are cuter, trendier save the dates but these were printed perfectly, delivered quickly, and are great quality. super excited. wouldn't change a thing!"
"I love the simplistic design of the card. I chose to write a bit about our love story on the back and had a professional proof done. The Wedding Paper Divas teams was great. Morgan did a great job of proofing the cards and suggesting that we keep all text lowercase to match the design. So far I've shown my family and bridal party and they love the paper, design, and think they're modern and cute."

Willmar notebook: Boxing club has a Diamond in the rough
Not too long ago, the Hockey State considered the puckish sport the boys' domain. That changed irreversibly in the 1990s.
So it is with boxing. The Willmar Golden Gloves Club has long been integrated with regard to the sexes.
But bouts are still hard to find.

While James Lipton is best known for hosting Bravo's "Inside the Actors Studio," a recent interview with Parade magazine proves there's more to him than quizzing thespians. Specifically, he was once a pimp.
Lipton, 86, explained that in the 1950s he held that position in the Paris sex trade, thanks to a recommendation from a prostitute friend of his.
"I had to be okayed by the underworld, otherwise they would've found me floating in the Seine," the host told Parade.
Lipton recalled, "It was only a few years after the war. Paris was different then, still poor. Men couldn't get jobs and, in the male chauvinist Paris of that time, the women couldn't get work at all. It was perfectly respectable for them to go into le milieu."
Added the "Actors Studio" host, "The great bordellos were still flourishing in those days … I did a roaring business."
Of his job title, which certainly has different connotations nowadays, Lipton said, "The French mecs didn't exploit women. They represented them, like agents. And they took a cut. That's how I lived."
"I was going through my rites of passage, no question about it. It was a great year of my life," he reminisced.

In our fast-paced, consumer-driven society, we often believe — wrongly — that more choices are always better. But as we've shown time and time again, too many choices is just as bad as too few choices.
Nowhere is this more true than in the world of dating, where previous research has demonstrated the downsides of too many online dating choices. That's why online dating websites like Match.com work hard to try and limit your choices (although they don't always do a good job at it). And that's why eHarmony makes a big deal about using personality characteristics to match you at a "deeper level" (there's no research to back eHarmony's claims — it's just marketing).
Today, we add yet another study to the pile of research demonstrating the downfalls of too much choice.
Before posting, please read our blog moderation guidelines. The comments below begin with the oldest comments first. Click on the last comments page to jump to the most recent comments.
"level of education, their type of job, and whether or not the person smokes"
Hmmm, decisions based on these attributes are considered "deeper" than shallow decisions based on physical attributes? Thankfully, I am not in the dating market.
To Mark:
Yes, those are deeper than just looks alone. "Job" gives insight to intelligence/motivation/earning power, "education" gives insight to the same and smoking is just a deal breaker for some.
Returning to the dating scene as an educated, motivated and a financially responsible adult is FAAAAR different than when we were teenagers and your decision making process was different.
Want a good scare? Cruise the dating sights and see how many (single, 30-something) women are looking; 1) to be struck by lightning on the first meeting, 2) want somebody tall (5'10″+) and 3) have never been married and yet want all these qualifications. Gee, why have you not been married? It's lovely that you have a graduate degree, yet your profession is listed as Retail, Beauty and other jobs that seem far below the grasp of a graduate degree.
Too much choice is definitely a bad thing here. There is always a better opportunity around the corner with all these profiles…
It's sickening and really shows how shallow some people can be. Go to Plenty of Fish and see how many women, in the section describing the first date/meet-up, want to be able to make a fast exit. They're done before they even get started… why bother with them?
Matt wrote: "and 3) have never been married and yet want all these qualifications. Gee, why have you not been married? It's lovely that you have a graduate degree, yet your profession is listed as Retail, Beauty and other jobs that seem far below the grasp of a graduate degree."
I wasn't aware a failed marriage was a prerequisite for dating… oh, and there's a thing called the job market, where one's value is determined via interviews, another kind of speed dating, but apparently here being, for instance, a single mother significantly reduces your chances for a 'date'. Too much choice, you know…
Matt, please leave the woman-bashing at home, I don't think anyone has unpacked the 'men want a 5'5", 98 pounds, D-cup, skilled cook'-cudgel yet. There's a difference between stating your wishes and actually expecting to get it all – and in my experience, we all have good reason to place the bar a little higher on the internet. It goes both ways, you know?
I think it's easier to find a job online than it is to find a date…
Let's all be adults her, please. As in every selection process, whether a job or a potential mate, their are WANTS and then their are NEEDS. If we admit it, we ALL compromise on our WANT list, but shouldn't compromise on our, hopefully shorter, NEED list! Hopefully, the more substantial, deeper qualities, that bode well for a long-lasting, successful relationship are on our NEED lists. If not, we have no one to blame for our failures but ourselves, don't we? Again, adult responsibility for self-knowledge and making mindful choices.
Have you ever had a friend who married someone who is nothing like her known "type?" Well, maybe her new husband had all the qualities on her NEED list, but was shorter, fatter, balder, poorer, older, younger etc. then you thought her choice would be.

The following information should not replace the assessment and advice you have been receiving from your physician (cancer specialist, obstetrician, or any other healthcare provider).
It is offered for your information only.
Presently, there is no evidence of long term damage to sperm in humans. However, it would make sense to follow your pregnancy with detailed level 2 ultrasound. Also, it is reasonable to consider amniocentesis, which can detect chromosomal abnormalities.

Top-ranking Democrats appear on political talk shows, advocate for a limited missionRepublicans, meanwhile, are advocating a far more aggressive stanceAs the U.S. continues limited, targeted airstrikes for the third day in Iraq, political divisions around the scope of U.S. involvement are emerging in Washington. Top-ranking Democrats who appeared on political talk shows Sunday advocated for a limited mission and insisted that the Iraqi government must respond to the growing threat of the extreme militant group ISIS, which calls itself the Islamic State but formerly was known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Republicans, meanwhile, are advocating a far more aggressive stance, insisting that ISIS poses a direct threat to the U.S. They urged President Barack Obama to do more than the limited airstrikes he announced Friday. ISIS, which obtained sustained power in parts of Syria, has expanded its deadly grip on parts of Iraq, especially the Kurdish north, where tens of thousands of Yazidi minorities had been forced into mountains, where they're stranded without food and water. Up to 60 children are among those who have died from the extreme conditions.Thousands of Yazidis rescued, Iraqi Human Rights Ministry spokesman saysDehydration or massacre: Thousands caught in ISIS chokeholdThe militant group executes civilians who don't adhere to its version of Sunni Islam. Its goal is to create an Islamic caliphate, which it claims it has already done, calling the regions they control in Iraq and Syria the Islamic State.Just WatchedIraq: the risks to American livesreplayMore Videos ...Iraq: the risks to American lives 03:17PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedGen.: 'Time is not on our side' in IraqreplayMore Videos ...Gen.: 'Time is not on our side' in Iraq 01:36PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedMedia-shy Obama steps into the spotlightreplayMore Videos ...Media-shy Obama steps into the spotlight 03:54PLAY VIDEOObama announced airstrikes to protect the hundreds of Americans working in the region and said humanitarian assistance to Kurdish minorities would be part of a limited mission that he described as a "long-term project."But in Washington, Republicans harshly criticized the President and his mission, saying it is too little, too late. The U.S. role"ISIS continues to make gains everywhere," Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."Obama's approach to protect military and diplomatic personnel in the area, McCain said, is "narrow" in scope and "clearly very, very ineffective, to say the least.""That's not a strategy," he said, calling for additional airstrikes in Iraq and Syria to dismantle ISIS and to provide additional military equipment to the Kurds and the Syrian fighters who oppose ISIS. Officials: U.S. airstrikes pound ISIS militants firing at Iraq's YazidisThat sentiment for an expanded involvement was echoed by Rep. Peter King, R-New York. "I am saying we should do whatever we have to do," the House Homeland Security Committee member said on NBC's "Meet the Press," including, "we take nothing off the table." On Sunday, Democrats, however, expressed support for the President's targeted airstrikes and cautioned against any broader involvement. "Escalating it is not on the cards," Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, said on "Meet the Press." "We cannot send the troops. We must not send the troops."But King insisted his support for a broader operation, which includes "massive aircraft," does not involve U.S. combat troops back into the country after nearly a decade of war and three years after the troops left. "Let's not set up the false argument that there have to be troops on the ground," he said. The role of IraqisDemocrats said Sunday that the U.S. can do little beyond provide humanitarian assistance and protect American personnel. They said it is ultimately up to Iraqis to address the crisis engulfing their country. "Only Iraq can save Iraq," Durbin said. "If Iraqis come together, al-Maliki put in power someone in power with the Shias and Kurds, perhaps they can do it themselves."The U.S. relationship with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has deteriorated. He has been blamed for escalating tensions between religious and ethnic sects within Iraq between the Shia majority, the Sunni minority, the Kurds and smaller groups of minorities, causing the destabilization of the country. The Iraqi Parliament is expected to choose a new prime minister soon, and Democrats say that the new leader should unite the shattered country. Democrats say that political reconciliation in Baghdad would be able to address the crisis, which Sen. Ben Cardin, D- Maryland, called a "civil war." "The real cause is that the Iraqi government has not performed the way it should to protect the rights of all Iraqis," Cardin said on "Fox news Sunday."Sen. Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, agreed that the U.S. is not responsible for repairing a country fraught with political divisions. "This has to be a political strategy that takes place in Baghdad and not in Washington," he said on CBS News' "Face the Nation."But King lambasted the Democrats, saying they are providing a limited view of Iraq and the threat of ISIS. He insisted that the problem is much deeper than intra-Iraq turmoil. Threat to the U.S.He called the Democrats' position, which is similar to the one Obama expressed this past week, a "shameful abdication of American leadership." King said ISIS is a threat beyond Iraq and Syria, calling the group more powerful than al Qaeda was on September 11, 2001, when the U.S. was attacked. "I want to hear what he says when they attack us in the United States," King said of ISIS. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, offered a similar, dire sentiment of the threat from the militant group shunned by al Qaeda because of its extreme, violent tactics. "I think of an American city in flames because of the terrorist ability to operate in Syria and Iraq," he said on "Fox News Sunday." "Whatever you want to call these guys, they are coming here."Mideast spiraling in war and terrorMore from politicsElection 2016: Jeb Bush makes his first Iowa forayIran's hardliners skeptical of nuclear talksPowered by Livefyre

Help Petition For A Weird Al Super Bowl Halftime Show!
By Merrill Barr on August 7, 2014
One of the live event staples of any year, the Super Bowl halftime show is infamous for performances by some of the music industry's hottest performers including Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Prince and Madonna. But, if fans have their way, another name could be added to the list, that of Billboard chart topping artist and our dear friend, Weird Al Yankovic.
In a not-at-all bizarre twist, given the rabid fanbase the musician has gained over the decades, a fan campaign has been launched to make Weird Al the featured act at 2015's NBC-hosted Super Bowl. The Change.com petition already features over 79,000 signatures since launching earlier this week, with the following message being sent to the NFL:
Have Weird Al Yankovic headline the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show.
[Your name]
Clean, simple and to the point.
Honestly, there's nothing we want to see more than Weird Al headlining the most watched television event in history. It'd be a real opportunity for the NFL to cater to all demographics because, as his new bestselling album Mandatory Fun indicated, Weird Al speaks to anyone and everyone, especially after his #8videos8days campaign that took the internet by storm last month.
So please, NFL, for all of us, take these signatures seriously as a real opportunity to speak to the masses at large. Make "Weird Al" your featured act at Super Bowl XLIX's halftime show, for the betterment of mankind.
How much do you want to see a Weird Al Super Bowl halftime show? Let us know in the comments below, and sign the petition brethren!
What's funny is that one this petition was first submitted that person was drunk, then it just took off…
it was submitted by the guy that wrote this article
Uh… no, the author of this article linked to the petition created by the drunk guy, whose name is Ed Ball. Get out from under the rock you live under please.
I will sign only if he promises to perform All About the Pentiums. Some of the dopest rhymes ever put on wax, for real.
Where do I sign?!?!?!?!?! That is one half time show I'd actually watch!!!
Weird Al has been a pop icon for 30 years. The Super Bowl deserves HIM.
I'll vote for that! Wish he would perform even if for a min "Eat It" in memory of the great Michael Jackson may he RIP…
His top 10 videos are on YouTube, awesome, I just watched them the other day.
He should do a duet with Beyoncé.
At least the 'wardrobe malfunction' will be funny as hell!!
My thoughts: HE MUST DO IT… but he must also parody other famous halftime shows like PRINCE… while singing all of his classics like the Smells Like Teen Spirit cover… man, it all has to happen.
I hope they ask him. And I hope he says a very public no on account of the NFL's horrid misogyny.
I love weird al

Peppermint Meringues
From Good Housekeeping
triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Cathy Lo, assistant to the food director, made these pretty meringues with her mom, Jeanne Chenalloy, every Christmas in Bronx, NY. Jeanne learned how to make them at her mother's side in Port of Spain, Trinidad. The family called these melt-in-your-mouth puffs soupirs, the French word for "sighs," because of their light-as-air texture.

Serves: 12
Total Time: 3 hr
Cook Time: 2 hr
Oven Temp: 225
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
- 1 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) peppermint extract (see note below)
- Red and green food coloring
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with foil.
- In small bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form, gradually sprinkle in sugar, beating until whites stand in stiff, glossy peaks. Beat in peppermint extract.
- Transfer half of meringue mixture to another bowl. Add enough red food coloring to meringue in 1 bowl to tint it a pale red. Add enough green food coloring to remaining meringue to tint it a pale green.
- Spoon red meringue into large self-sealing plastic bag, cut 1/4-inch opening at corner. Repeat with green meringue in separate bag. Fit large decorating bag (we used a 14-inch bag) with basketweave or large round tip (1/2-inch or 3/4-inch diameter opening). Place decorating bag in 2-cup glass measuring cup to stabilize bag, fold top third of bag over top of cup to keep top of bag clean. Simultaneously, squeeze meringues from both plastic bags into decorating bag, filling decorating bag no more than two-thirds full.
- Pipe meringue onto cookie sheets, leaving 1 inch between each meringue. If using basketweave tip, pipe meringue into 3- to 4-inch-long pleated ribbons, if using round tip, pipe meringue into 2-inch rounds. Bake meringues 2 hours. Turn oven off. Leave meringues in oven at least 30 minutes or overnight to dry.
- Let meringues cool completely before removing from foil with wide metal spatula. Store meringues in tightly covered containers up to 3 weeks.
Tips & Techniques
Note: Do not use peppermint extract containing peppermint oil -- the meringue mixture will quickly deflate. We had good results using imitation peppermint extract.

IT Governance & Advisory Groups
The CIO reports to the President and is a member of the President's Cabinet. In addition to the President's Cabinet and the IT staff, the CIO also receives input from three official campus advisory groups. A schematic drawing of the reporting relationships of the three groups appears below:
- The BCT, Banner Coordinating Team, consists of key staff who provide advice on the use and optimization of our administrative computing systems such as Banner.
- The ITC, Information Technology Committee, consists primarily of faculty (voting) and staff (non-voting) members. Their focus is on academic technology issues.
- ITAC, Information Technology Advisory Committee, is composed of faculty, staff, and students plus representatives from both the BCT and ITC.The ITAC takes a broad look at information technology across campus and fosters communication among the respective groups.
