WHY IT MATTERS: Gay marriage
More News from David Crary
More News from Associated Press
(One in a series examining issues at stake in the US election and their impact on people—Editor)
The issue:
On one aspect of whether same-sex couples should have the right to marry, both sides agree: The issue defines what kind of nation the U.S. is. Half a dozen states and the District of Columbia have made history by legalizing it, but it's prohibited elsewhere, and 30 states have placed bans in their constitutions.
Where they stand:
President Barack Obama supports legal recognition of same-sex marriage, as a matter to be decided by the states. He's also repudiated the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal recognition of same-sex marriages and affirms the right of states to refuse to recognize such marriages. The administration no longer defends the law in court, but it remains on the books. Republican Mitt Romney says same-sex marriage should be banned with a constitutional amendment, not left to states. He also opposes civil unions if they are equivalent to marriage, and says states should decide what rights and benefits should be allowed for same-sex couples.
Why it matters:
The debate divides the public down the middle, according to recent polls, and stirs up passionate feelings on both sides.
Those who oppose it often invoke religious teachings, contending that their faith cannot condone legal recognition of gay and lesbian couples. They worry about conflicts between religious liberty and public policy if gay marriage spreads to more states and gains federal recognition.
Gay-marriage supporters cite examples of devoted same-sex couples — some partners for decades, some raising children — and say it's unfair to deny them the same rights as heterosexual couples.
"It's about what kind of country we are," said Lee Swislow of Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, a Boston-based legal group that has won several landmark court rulings. "Do we treat each other the way we want to be treated?"
The Maryland Catholic Conference recently summed up the views of many who oppose same-sex marriage.
"The average citizen of Maryland has enough common sense to know that marriage cannot be redefined; that a child comes from both a mother and a father; that marriage is the building block of society," the group said. "It is not discriminatory to reserve marriage for one man and one woman."
As things stand now, same-sex couples face a patchwork of conflicting laws and practices that vary from state to state.
Six states allow same-sex marriage; nine more have civil unions or domestic partnerships that extend marriage-like rights to gays and lesbians.
The federal government, however, doesn't recognize same-sex marriage, nor do the vast majority of states. Even with an out-of-state marriage license, gay and lesbian couples in those states face uncertainty, extra legal bills and rebuffs that straight couples avoid. Complications can arise with adoptions, inheritances and survivor benefits.
If legally married in their own state, same-sex couples still must file separate federal tax forms, with separate deductions, even when they're raising children together and jointly owning property.
This election won't get rid of that patchwork, but it could have a major impact given that four states have gay-marriage measures on their ballots.
In Minnesota, the vote is whether to put a ban on gay marriage in the state constitution. Voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington state are voting on whether to legalize gay marriage.
Thus far, foes of gay marriage have prevailed in all 32 states where the issue reached the ballot. If that streak is broken in the four states that are addressing it in November, it could provide momentum for supporters, and perhaps even influence the Supreme Court if — as expected — it takes up cases challenging the Defense of Marriage Act.

The State Dept. Was Right
To deny Tariq Ramadan a visa.
Oct 16, 2006, Vol. 12, No. 05 • By OLIVIER GUITTA
ON SEPTEMBER 20, the State Department denied a visa to Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan on the grounds that he had contributed around 600 euros to a French charity classified as a terrorist organization since 2003 because of its relationship with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. This latest exclusion follows on the revocation of Ramadan's visa to live and work in the United States while teaching at Notre Dame in 2004, a step taken at the express request of the Department of Homeland Security. While the American Civil Liberties Union and the leftist literary group PEN, among others, present Ramadan as a moderate and accuse U.S. authorities of intolerance, the background and views of Tariq Ramadan suggest the government's move was entirely justified.
For starters, Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, the highly influential Islamist organization born in Egypt in 1928. It was the Brotherhood that invented the now-familiar Islamist modus operandi of covert organization, assassination, and extremist theology. Its goal was to overthrow the Egyptian regime, install a fundamentalist Muslim government, and impose sharia (Islamic law) as the new constitution. Tariq's father, Said Ramadan, was a major figure in this organization, expelled from Egypt by Gamal Abdul Nasser for Islamist activity.
Said Ramadan took refuge first in Saudi Arabia, where he was a founder of the World Islamic League, one of the largest Saudi charities and global missionary groups. He then moved to Geneva, where in 1961 he created the Islamic Center, a combination mosque, think tank, and community center. The philosophy of the Muslim Brotherhood influenced a generation of wealthy Muslim kids, including Osama bin Laden. Interestingly, Said Ramadan also had U.S. connections: He had a close relationship with Malcolm X and was personal mentor to Dawud Salahuddin, a black convert to Islam who murdered an Iranian dissident, Ali Akbar Tabatabai, in Bethesda, Maryland, in 1980. After fleeing the United States, Salahuddin spent a few days in Geneva visiting Said Ramadan before taking refuge in Iran. Profiled in the New Yorker in 2002, Salahuddin confirmed that Ramadan remained his adviser and spiritual guide until Ramadan's death in 1995.
Said Ramadan was one of the most important Islamist thinkers of the 20th century. He is probably the author of "The Project," a 14-page document dated 1982 found by the Swiss secret service in 2001. "The Project" is a roadmap for installing Islamic regimes in the West by propaganda, preaching, and if necessary war. (It can be read here.)
Tariq Ramadan was born in 1962 in Switzerland. After toying with a career as a professional soccer player, he settled into the family business as an Islamic scholar. He became a teacher of philosophy and theology in Swiss universities. Most European secret service agencies are convinced that, at the end of the 1980s, the Muslim Brotherhood chose Tariq Rama dan to be their European representative. In 1991, he went to Cairo to study with Islamist professors. Upon his return to Switzerland, he founded the Movement of Swiss Muslims. His objective was to reach Muslim youth by Islamizing modernity rather than modernizing Islam.
Charming and smooth, Ramadan holds out Islam as the solution to all the problems of Muslim youth--in keeping with the slogan of the Muslim Brotherhood, "Islam is the solution." The first indication of his fundamentalism came in 1993, when he lobbied to outlaw a play called Mahomet, being produced in Geneva, which represented the prophet in a light that did not fit with Ramadan's views. In 1995, Alaa el-Din Nazmi, an Egyptian Secret Service agent assigned to watch the Ramadan family, was murdered in Geneva. No one has been arrested for the crime.
Ramadan is also a pragmatist. When he realized that his Swiss venture was leading nowhere, he turned to France. There he won the support of one of the main Muslim organizations linked to the Brotherhood, the UOIF (Union des Organisations Islamiques de France), along with the main Muslim youth organization, the UJM (Union des Jeunes Musulmans). His notion of Islam as the solution was favorably received by many French Muslim youths and partly explains the radicalization of this community. But his popularity really took off when he threw in his lot with the antiglobalization crowd. Rama dan is an opportunist, and saw the appeal of this growing movement. Thanks to this alliance, he quickly became a media star in France.
By 2004 Ramadan was de facto spokesman of the French Muslim community, spending most of his time in Lyon, France's second-largest city, instructing the young Muslim population. His charisma and gift for public speaking made him a hit in the French suburbs, where high-rise public housing projects have become Islamic ghettos. Ramadan cultivated a "moderate" reputation by taking part in interfaith seminars and sitting on a commission on "Islam and Secularism." Indeed, some view him as a brilliant intellectual preaching a modern and tolerant Islam. The European Union has made him an adviser on religious issues.
But not all who know him are buying. One of Ramadan's interfaith partners, Fr. Christian Delorme, had this to say in 2001:
For all his interfaith zeal, an examination of Ramadan's work fails to turn up any positive discussion of Christianity or Judaism. He calls Arabs "my brothers and sisters" while addressing all others as "madam," "sir," or without any honorific. When Ramadan faced off with Nicolas Sarkozy, the French interior minister and presidential hopeful, in 2004 on French TV, he repeatedly called the minister "Sarkozy" instead of the usual "Mr. Sarkozy" or, as the French say, monsieur le ministre. During this debate, Sarkozy pressed Ramadan to condemn the stoning of adulterers, a form of capital punishment endorsed by his brother, Hani Ramadan, head of the Islamic Center in Geneva. Tariq declined to go beyond his previous call for a moratorium on corporal punishment and the death penalty while Islamic scholars study the matter.
More to the point, Ramadan has multiple links to terrorism. In 1995, in the midst of terrorist attacks in Paris orchestrated by the Algerian Islamist group GIA, Jean-Louis Debré, French interior minister, denied Ramadan entry to France because of his links to the group. According to Roland Jacquard, who runs a terrorism watchdog website, Ramadan is not directly involved in terrorist activities, but many of his supporters are. For example, Ramadan greatly influenced Djamel Beghal, a French citizen arrested for plotting to bomb the U.S. embassy in Paris and sentenced to 10 years in jail in March 2005. Sylvain Besson of the Swiss daily Le Temps quotes court papers showing that Beghal "was a speechwriter for Tariq Ramadan." Ramadan denies ever meeting Beghal, although Beghal was living in Leicester in 1998 while Ramadan was studying there.
And Ramadan often speaks equivocally. Commenting on the September 11 attacks ten days after they occurred, he explained that one couldn't say for sure that bin Laden was behind them. He then asked, "Who profits from the crime?" noting that no Arab or Muslim cause was the better for it. This is an argument used by Islamist conspiratorialists who accuse Israel of perpetrating 9/11. In an interview with the French newsmagazine Le Point, Ramadan used the neutral term "interventions" when speaking of the major terrorist attacks in New York, Bali, and Madrid. And when asked recently by an Italian magazine whether car bombings against U.S. forces in Iraq were justified, he was quoted as saying: "Iraq was colonized by the Americans. Resistance against the army is just."
Ramadan's views about Israel are unsurprising: He strongly favors the elimination of the Jewish state. As one French DST (equivalent to the FBI) agent told the magazine Le Nouvel Observateur, Ramadan's long-term goal is to bring about the legal extinction of the state of Israel through a major Muslim lobbying campaign, first in Europe, then in the United States.
For her 2004 book Brother Tariq, Caroline Fourest, a French expert on Islamic fundamentalism, studied Ramadan's 15 books, 1,500 pages of interviews, and--most important--his 100 or so tapes, which sell tens of thousands of copies each year. Her conclusion: "Ramadan is a war leader." When an interviewer from the weekly L'Express asked Fourest how she could be so sure that Ramadan was indeed the "political heir of his grandfather," Hassan al-Banna, here's how she replied:
In response to her book, Ramadan calls Fourest an agent of Israel but doesn't refute her findings. Predictably, as soon as her book was published, an Islamist website threatened Fourest and posted her address and the pass code to get into her building.
Fourest is not the only one who has seen through Ramadan's game. Prominent moderate Muslims also accuse Ramadan of double talk. For instance, the head of the largest French antiracism association, SOS Racisme, Malek Boutih (an Arab Muslim), told Ramadan after talking with him at length: "Mr. Ramadan, you are a fascist."
But while the French have come to see Ramadan as one more Islamist, the British have honored him with a fellowship at Oxford University and, more important, a seat on the Blair government's committee tackling extremism. As one stunned European diplomat told Radio France Internationale, "It's like putting a diabetic in the middle of a pastry shop."
But Ramadan has learned from his mistakes and is taking ever greater pains to conceal his true identity. In fact, his writings over the past year have been almost above reproach: He has even gone so far as to criticize some of the excesses in the Muslim world after the pope's recent remarks about Islam.
Ramadan's stint in England has refurbished his credibility and given him a new start. This is handy, from his point of view, as the United Kingdom is the ideal launching pad from which to reach the main objective: For the Muslim Brotherhood, the big prize has always been the United States.

Two days after a minor Dalit girl was raped, murdered and hanged from a tree in Misrikh area of Sitapur district, no arrest has been made in the case yet, despite the fact that all five accused belong to the Benipur village where the incident happened, and have been named in the FIR.
After Akhilesh Yadav's insensitive comments on the steep rise in increase in rape cases in UP on Tuesday, his father Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav also appeared indifferent to the issue on Wednesday. Questioned by reporters here, he said: "You do your job, I will do mine."
Not to be left far behind was Akhilesh's uncle and SP's Rajya Sabha MP Ram Gopal Yadav, who said obscene and vulgar content being showed on television was corrupting the mentality of youngsters which had resulted in the sudden upswing in the rape incidents. "Young boys also have easy access to magazines with pornographic material and pictures," he added.
Casually dismissing reporters' questions about the deteriorating law and order situation in UP, he said the state government was doing a good job, and quick and severe action was being taken against those involved in crimes, especially in rape cases.
"A much larger number of rapes are being committed in neighbouring states like Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. In the north-east states, the incidence of rape in many times higher than in UP. But the media doesn't report that," he said.
On Tuesday, Akhilesh Yadav had also blamed the media for unduly hyping up the rape incidents in UP. "Rapes are not happening only in UP," he had said, and added: "If you search on Google, you will find many rape incidents in other states, too."
Meanwhile, whatever the SP leaders might say, the cases of rape in the state show no signs of abating. On Wednesday, too, four cases of rape were reported. While a young student was kidnapped and gang-raped in Pratapgarh, a minor girl was raped at gunpoint in Sambhal in west UP. A woman admitted in a hospital in Dhoomanganj area of Allahabad was raped and a six-year-old girl was raped by her cousin in Khukhundu area of Deoria.

Elegant, lovely program
I ordered 200 of these Something Blue programs for my upcoming wedding in Charcoal Damask and Classic Blue for the stripe. I received them in pristine condition and they are printed on somewhat glossy, thicker, high quality card stock. The printing was clear and crisp, from the few I've flipped through so far. Make sure you make a note of the color of your names in the upper right-hand corner bubble; I didn't realize that was customizable, and our names came in a subtle cranberry color (which I wouldn't have chosen necessarily, but it still looks nice). Also, I had envisioned the programs would be a little larger, but they are perfect keepsake size. Even with these tiny notes, I am thrilled with them and would highly recommend.
I love the color scheme and texture.
Very quick delivery and love the styles that were offered.
Beautiful Programs
The programs were beautiful and easy to personalize. They were shipped prompted too.
Love Peacock
This was a winner due to my love for peacock themed things.
Very Pleased with Product
I was able to personalize the text and colors nicely. I used the pearlized paper, which is lovely in person. It took me so little time to put together, and the price point was so good, that I definitely do not regret getting programs!

"I did extensive personalization with this invite. I had custom colors with the flowers and different font (also in different colors). I got my proof quickly and it matched what I envisioned in my mind exactly! When the invites were delivered they were beautiful and the colors were awesome. I just sent them out and have received lots of compliments on them!"
"Not only did I get my invitations within two weeks but everything was correct! So happy with the turn around of my order! Would use WPD again in a heartbeat!"
"My invites come out beautifully. I really fell in love with the design since it went perfectly with the fact I'm getting married in a park. It's great that design includes pretty much any paper goods you'd need for a wedding. You don't have to worry about finding invites to match the placeholders. The colors are so rich. The paper is a nice thickness. The simple fill-it-in format was definitely a plus. I saved myself even more time later on by having my return address printed on the envelopes too."
"We adore our wedding invitations and every part of the suite looks amazing together. We opted to make the text black and to have a black layer behind the invitation. Note: if you do this, you have to assemble the layers yourself. ASLO - IMPORTANT: We ordered a stamp from WPD to custom stamp our address on the back of the invitation. However, we ordered the pearlescent/shimmery envelope and the ink does NOT sink in. We even let them sit out overnight. At this point, there is nothing that we can do but pray that they get to our guests without too much smudging, but I really wish that we had known this before!!"
"I was a bit nervous about the outcome of the invitation because I had asked the designer to change some things but after receiving the new proofs in 24 hours I was so excited! Once the invitations arrived and I was able to see the finished product in my hands I was so happy! It fits perfectly with my vintage wedding theme."

Safety: Resolve to Assess Machine Guarding in 2013
In a presentation at the 2012 National Safety Council Congress & Expo, the deputy director of OSHA's Directorate of Enforcement Programs, Patrick Kapust, gave the full list of the top 10 most cited violations for federal OSHA standards in 2012 for both general industry and construction.
Each of the violation types show up every year, but it's may be useful to note that machine guarding went from being the 10th most cited OSHA standards violation in fiscal year 2011 (www.osha.gov/oshstats/commonstats.html) to the sixth most cited violation in fiscal year 2012. No one wants to be part of those statistics.
A documented machine guarding assessment can be performed to verify compliance, and numerous companies including Omron STI offer services that can help.
If you're not certain that your machines are guarded to relevant standards or whether or not your company has had an assessment, resolve to perform an assessment in 2013. Here is OSHA's list of the top 10 violations for 2012:
- Fall protection – 7,250 violations
- Hazard communication – 4,696 violations
- Scaffolding – 3,814 violations
- Respiratory protection – 2,371 violations
- Ladders – 2,310 violations
- Machine guarding – 2,097 violations
- Powered industrial trucks – 1,993 violations
- Electrical wiring – 1,744 violations
- Lockout/tagout – 1,572 violations
- Electrical (general) – 1,332 violations

(The Hosting News) – SmarterTools has recently announced that SmarterMail mail server can provide complete push services for email, contacts, and calendars for iPad users. The Exchange ActiveSyc protocol that SmarterTools licensed from Microsoft in 2009 is the key component in providing this seamless integration.
"With the release of the Apple iPad, the importance of mobile computing has never been stronger," said Tim Uzzanti, CEO of SmarterTools Inc. "When we originally made the investment to license mobile protocols from Microsoft, we anticipated platforms beyond the iPhone, such as Android, on both mobile phones and on tablet computers. We are very excited that Apple has decided to provide Exchange ActiveSync on the new iPad and that SmarterMail is one of the few premiere mail and collaboration servers to fully integrate this functionality."
PC World quoted Apple CEO Steve Jobs, "We want to kick off 2010 by introducing a truly magical and revolutionary product….the iPad." True push technology, full collaboration, superior antispam, and an industry-leading application interface make SmarterMail Enterprise an ideal complement to the iPad's revolutionary user experience and the leading application for mobile computing today.
Scalable and easy to manage, SmarterMail 6.x features a rich, webmail interface; reporting; events/notifications; throttling; message archiving; intrusion detection/prevention; advanced synchronization with Microsoft Outlook; over-the-air support for BlackBerry, iPhone, and Windows Mobile devices; and optional add-ons for Exchange ActiveSync, Commtouch Antispam, and Commtouch Zero-hour Antivirus. Enhanced antispam, antivirus, and security features provide superior protection out-of-the-box.
SmarterMail is available at the SmarterTools Web site and through authorized resellers.

Is a given instance of rape more likely to result in pregnancy than a given instance of consensual sex? This paper undertakes a review and critique of the literature on rape-pregnancy. Next, it presents our own estimation, from U.S. government data, of pregnancy rates for reproductive age victims of penile-vaginal rape. Using data on birth control usage from the Statistical Abstract of the United States, we then form an estimate of rapepregnancy rates adjusted for the substantial number of women in our sample who would likely have been protected by oral contraception or an IUD. Our analysis suggests that per-incident rape-pregnancy rates exceed per-incident consensual pregnancy rates by a sizable margin, even before adjusting for the use of relevant forms of birth control. Possible explanations for this phenomenon are discussed, as are its implications to ongoing debates over the ultimate causes of rape.

It isn't entirely clear if Games People Play is a spot-on but longwinded and excessively campy spoof of those TV "reality" game shows... or just a particularly ingenious and sleazy example of the genre.
This artless, unpolished venture adds a heavy sex-and-skin factor to a poorly defined game show, lurching awkwardly between exploitative voyeurism, maudlin confessions and self-consciously risque titillation.
A big-screen reality show that flashes plenty of t-- and d--- but little integrity.
Whitney takes having it both ways to new heights -- depths is perhaps more like it. He satirizes reality TV while showing total nudity and at times carrying sex to the verge of soft-core porn. As titillating and energetic as the film is, it is also rather sad because it reveals what aspiring actors will endure for what they apparently regard as an opportunity.
Rent a porno instead; it'll be less exploitative. God help us, two more of these things are planned.
The film doesn't know what it wants to be -- reality programming pushed to the max or a satire of reality TV? -- but it winds up as an exercise in the rankest sort of cynicism.
Sets a new nadir in the reality genre's race to the bottom. The price of sacrificing dignity for the amusement of the general public gets lower every day.
Whitney frames this as the pilot for a reality TV show, but if that doesn't pan out he can pitch it to al Qaeda as a recruiting tool.

The Starkey Hearing Foundation to Give the Gift of Hearing to 3,500 Patients in Four Countries.
"We are truly delighted to be able to start off 2006 by giving the gift of hearing to thousands of people in need," said William F. Austin, founder of the Starkey Hearing Foundation. "We thank our partners and sponsors who are truly changing lives by making these mission trips possible."

The Starkey Hearing Foundation completed six similar mission trips in November and December that resulted in 4,000 patients receiving hearing aids.

Ever dream of owning a professional sports team? Fantasy games are a way to live out that dream. Fantasy games are designed to replicate the experience of owning and managing a sports franchise. ESPN.com offers fantasy games for all the major sports -- football, baseball, basketball, hockey and even NASCAR. And, to make things easier, all fantasy our games are fundamentally the same -- real athletes and their real-life performances are used to generate points for fantasy teams in fantasy leagues.
For example, in a standard fantasy league, there is a set number of "team owners." The league uses a set of rules that determines everything from team roster size to scoring method to schedule. You and your fellow team owners hold a draft -- i.e., fill your fantasy roster with real-life football players, from Joseph Addai to Jared Zabransky (we don't actually think Zabransky will make anyone's roster on draft day, but if Big Ben gets hurt and Charlie Batch gets any older ... you never know).
Then, each week throughout the regular season, you will set your lineup based on how well you think "your" players will perform that week. The statistics your positional players generate in their real-life games are collected, and fantasy points are awarded based on these numbers. The better your players perform, the more fantasy points accrue for your fantasy team.
Ultimately, these points determine which teams enter their fantasy playoffs and who becomes the season champion. With the league championship comes the glory to boast about it until the next season rolls around, at which point the other teams can smell sweet revenge.
Welcome to the world of fantasy football -- ESPN style! ESPN.com Fantasy Football 2008 is the closest thing to buying your own professional franchise and becoming the team's coach, owner and president. All decisions are yours to make.
Professional football is a game filled with unbiased player-performance statistics. By using these statistics, you have everything you need in order to understand which players are performing well and which are not, week in and week out. You make all "team manager" decisions about who will help your team and who may hurt your team, all season long. Lucky for you, ESPN.com provides you with real-time stats, so you can recruit the players who will pave the way for your ultimate victory!
Once you join a league, you and your fellow team owners are supplied with all the necessary tools -- multiple draft methods, live box scores, waivers, trades, free agency, custom player updates, a commissioner, league bulletin boards, sortable stats for all players, etc. -- to ensure a terrific fantasy experience. ESPN provides you with everything needed to build the best possible team. So relax and let the fun begin! Whether you're a newbie or veteran, fantasy football fame, glory and bragging rights are just a few clicks away!
ESPN is always looking to improve the player experience in our fantasy games. 2008 fantasy football is no exception. We've listened to our game players and have made the following changes for the 2008 season:
In all leagues:
Auction drafts! In addition to the standard "snake draft" format, this year ESPN provides the most intense, challenging and fun draft format in fantasy sports -- the auction draft. All owners begin with an empty roster and a budget of $200. Then, one by one, pro football's top stars are put on the auction block and acquired by the team of the highest bidder. Sounds easy, right? Be careful -- spend too much on one star and your remaining roster may be filled out with second-stringers. Spend too little and your roster will be filled with nobodies, has-beens and rookie long shots. This is what makes auction drafts so much fun. Sure, you can have LT, but for how much money? How much is Peyton really worth? Only you know for sure.
Enhanced Point-and-click rosters: The quickest, easiest roster management system on the Internet.

I am a native of Finland, but now residing in Texas, in a small town near Dallas. Living in Texas has provided me wonderful opportunities for photographing wildflowers, landscapes, animals, and insects with the macro lens. I particularly love getting close and personal with nature and wildlife subjects no matter how big or small that they may be. I have always enjoyed viewing beautiful photographs of nature and travel. It wasn't until 2002 that I discovered photography as a personal hobby when I bought my first digital camera. Since then I have graduated from New York Institute of Photography. Also, I have attended numerous seminars and workshops, led by well-known instructors in the field, including Monte Zucker, Clay Blackmore, Sandy Puc, Rick Sammon, George Lepp, Eddie Tapp, Katrin Eismann, John Shaw, David Ziser.
I am fortunate to share the passion of photography with my husband, Jeff. He has inspired me immensely, and with his knowledge of photography and our shared love for the outdoors and nature, I have become the photographer that I am today. We are members and photography volunteers at the local zoo and we also volunteer providing pictures for our hometown website and publications.
My favorite equipment includes Nikon DSLR D7000 and D70 (IR conversion) and my favorite lenses the Tamron SP AF180mm F/3.5 Di Macro, AF200-500mm Di, AF70-200mm F2.8 Di, and the Tamron AF18-270mm VC. I use Photoshop CS5 as my primarily editing software.
Thank you very much for visiting my gallery! I hope that you enjoyed seeing the things that are important and interesting to me. If you have any questions or comments I would love to hear from you.

Gorham "Henry II" Sterling Silver Cocktail Fork
click for more pictures
$ 38
A turn of the 20th century design, Gorham's "Henry II" employs imagery evocative of English heraldry. The central element is an imperial looking lion's face surrounded by acanthus leaf detailing. Other elements include wings, a fish scale pattern suggestive of medieval armor on the stem of handle, and fruit or floral elements. This example is a three tine, 5 3/4" long, weighty at just over .7 T. oz., oyster or seafood cocktail fork. It has an Old English "W" monogram on the backside. The condition is mint. There is no wear or damage whatsoever and the finish is lustrous. Marks are lion, anchor, G, "Sterling," and "Patent 1900."

According to reports in the green blogosphere, Subaru, maker of fine, boxer powered all wheel drive cars, will soon be adding diesels engines to its range of engine choices, at least in the home market. Odd really, because Japan was never that into diesel cars. Sure, delivery trucks, but very few private individuals buy diesels.
Subaru introduced its first diesel engine in Europe in 2008, naturally, a boxer, and has sold over 30,000 examples, but that makes sense since oil burners are very, very popular there. So popular in fact that 54.1 percent of Legacy sales in Europe have been diesels.

Alabama Crimson Tide
South Carolina Gamecocks
This is the third straight horrifying NCAA football betting battle for the Alabama Crimson Tide, as they have already contended with the Florida Gators and Arkansas Razorbacks in back to back weeks. Now, they'll have to go to Columbia, where the South Carolina Gamecocks await off of their bye week, meaning they have had two weeks to prepare for this duel.
The Crimson Tide have simply been the best in the country this year, and there's absolutely no one out there that can deny that. Last week, even when the rushing game was stalled, it was a very young defense that came up big and kept the Gators out of the end zone for the entire game. The Crimson Tide rank in the Top 20 in the nation in total offense (464.0 yards per game), rushing offense (229.8 yards per game), and scoring (37.8 points per game), and they have the top scoring defense in the land (9.0 points per game). Needless to say, there are just no weaknesses in this team. The Heisman Trophy winner from a year ago, RB Mark Ingram, was held under 150 yards on the ground for the first time this season last week against the blue and orange, and he might find tough sledding once again against a stout Gamecocks front line. Still, Ingram found his way to pay dirt twice on the day, and if he does that again on Saturday afternoon, South Carolina is in a boatload of trouble.
Even though the Cocks lost their last college football betting battle with the Auburn Tigers two weeks ago, HC Steve Spurrier knows that this is the game that can make or break his team's season. A win over the Crimson Tide would set them up to go to 7-1 on the season, as the next three games should provide no problems. At that point, even with the one loss, his crew will finally be in a position to challenge for a BCS bowl game and for the SEC Championship. We can't get too far ahead of ourselves, though. QB Stephen Garcia has a history of folding up shop in big games in his career, and he doesn't have the tools around him to win if he doesn't play well. Garcia has had a good senior season, completing 69.1 percent of his passes with a 5/2 TD/INT ratio, but his numbers will have to improve even more, especially if RB Marcus Lattimore can't get anything going on the ground. South Carolina also hasn't been that great defensively this year at 368.5 yards per game allowed, but if the 'D' can hold the Tide anywhere near its 18.2 points per game scoring average against, SC might have a chance.
This is a totally different situation for the Crimson Tide to be in this week, as this is the first time that an opponent has had two weeks to prepare for them. They had better get used to it, as this won't be the last time that it happens this year either. The tests won't ever get harder than this, though. Don't be surprised if this week proves to be a bit much. We'll take the points for our NCAA football free picks and won't be overly shocked if Cocky pulls off the upset.
NCAA Football Free Pick: South Carolina Gamecocks +7.5

Magazine Editorial Assistant: Employment Info & Requirements
Magazine editorial assistants are responsible for many editorial and administrative tasks at a magazine. Read on to learn more about the training and skills requirements, along with the salary and employment outlook, to see if this is the right job for you.
Career Definition
Duties for magazine editorial assistants vary depending on the size of the magazine. But general editorial duties include proofreading, research, fact-checking, trafficking proofs, and assisting the editor. Managing electronic and paper files, working with freelance writers, and handling correspondence are a few of the administrative tasks a magazine editorial assistant may perform.
Magazine Editorial Assistant: Getting the Job
Required Education
To become a magazine editorial assistant, an associate's degree from a 2-year college or a bachelor's of liberal arts degree from a college or university is required. Employers also look favorably on candidates who are willing to work as interns to get on-the-job experience.
Skills Required
Being organized and a strong ability to multitask are required skills for magazine editorial assistants. Also, desktop publishing experience and excellent writing skills are expected and essential. Because many editorial assistance will be working on Internet publications, experience with online research and writing is an essential skill.
Career and Economic Outlook
While some print magazines are struggling to keep readers, their online counterparts are continuing to grow. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that there might be some job growth for editors working on internet publications, but there will be little or no growth for editors as a whole during the 2012 to 2022 decade. The BLS reported that editors made a median salary of $53,880 in May 2012.
Alternate Career Options
Writer and Author
A bachelor's degree is usually necessary to secure a salaried job as a writer or author who develops content publications such as magazines, books, ads and scripts. A slower than average increase in positions, with 3% growth from 2012-2022, was predicted by the BLS. In 2012, the BLS reported an annual median wage of $55,940 for writers and authors.
Technical Writer
Technical writers who prepare instruction manuals and journal articles normally have bachelor's degrees, in addition to experience with technical subjects like engineering or computer science. Faster than average expansion of 15% was projected by the BLS for this profession, during the 2012-2022 decade. The annual median salary for technical writers in 2012, according to the BLS, was $65,500.

Offered is a 5 3/4" sterling fork in the pattern, "Putnam" by Watson of Attleboro, MA. The fork has a hand engraved "M" on the end. It is marked Sterling and the Watson hallmark on the back. I don't know what this was used for. It reminds me of a sardine fork in length but it doesn't have as many tines as a sardine fork has. Maybe it's just the pattern and it's different. Anyway, a lovely piece in great condition. Perfect for canapes.

Does Acupuncture Work for Stroke Victims?
(Ivanhoe Newswire) "" Acupuncture is a new growing trend among healthcare treatments. It is used as treatment for nearly every ailment, disorder, and injury, but this study has shown acupuncture is not effective for treating stroke victims.
Acupuncture is usually used as an alternative form of rehabilitation for stroke victims, even though its effectiveness was always uncertain. The study was the most valuable knowledge to date about acupuncture and stroke. It included 10 studies, evaluating 711 stroke victims.
"Few randomized, sham-controlled trials have tested the effectiveness of acupuncture during stroke rehabilitation," Dr. Edzard Ernst, Peninsula Medical School, Exeter, England was quoted as saying. "The majority of the existing studies do not suggest that acupuncture is effective." The authors also said that the only two studies noting that acupuncture was effective were highly biased and had poor reporting, which made them nearly invalid.
"The evidence from rigorous studies testing the effectiveness of acupuncture during stroke rehabilitation is negative," the authors concluded.
