Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman still contends that the NFL's decision to emphasize illegal contact and defensive holding will not affect the Legion of Boom and the defending Super Bowl champions.
Recently, Sherman reiterated that sentiment on NBC Sports Radio with Josh Elliott.
"I don't think it'll affect our game at all," Sherman said.
"We've been playing at the line of scrimmage. And those rules have always been in place. I think they'll affect other teams a little bit more.
"If you look at the statistics, the way the preseason has gone, it's rarely ever affected us in a game."

BATON ROUGE, LA. -- The University of New Hampshire women's gymnastics team headed south to LSU this past weekend for a meet that was expected to be filled with some of the top collegiate gymnastics in the country. The Wildcats proved they belonged among the best after tying Michigan State with a team score of 194.125 and losing to the host team, which finished the meet with a 196.950.
UNH, now 13-3-1 on the season, had spent four consecutive weeks competing at home, and this past weekend it was time to return to the road. MSU and UNH had already met once this season, with the Wildcats narrowly edging the Spartans by .05 at their own invitational meet. This time the two teams made it even closer as they each produced identical scores.
Strong performances in three out of four events has been the trend this season for UNH and the squad hoped that trend would end on this trip. It did not, however, as the Wildcats struggled on beam, despite solid performances by senior Suzanne Poretz (Alexandria, Va.) with a 9.725 to lead the squad and senior Rose Kosowski (Whitesboro, N.Y.) with 9.7. According to head coach Gail Goodspeed, three of the counted scores in the event were sub-par for UNH and that held the UNH score down.
UNH rebounded back, to hit on the three remaining events, with floor being the highest score (49.025), a 48.475 on vault and a 48.75 on bars.
Leading the way on vault were senior Wendy Wheaton (Rockville, Md.) with a 9.775 and sophomore Michelle Harley (Collegeville, Pa.) with a 9.725.
On bars it was Wheaton (9.825) and Poretz (9.775) leading the way and strong performances on floor were turned in by Wheaton (9.85) and junior Bethany Wagner (Bound Brook, N.J.) with a 9.825.
Wheaton, who had an outstanding overall meet for the Wildcats was also celebrating her 21st birthday.
According Goodspeed, the floor judges commented that UNHís routines were the finest choreographed and performed routines they had ever seen.
The Wildcats continue their spring trip on Monday, March 12 when the squad competes at Texas Woman's University.

With the introduction of the iOS 4 firmware generation Apple brought about 256-bit hardware encryption for all iDevices. This move by Apple made their iDevices nearly 100% impenetrable; making all iDevices running the iOS 4 firmware safe for use in the corporate and government sectors. That is until now. You see, a Russian forensics firm, Elcomsoft, has discovered a method of cracking Apple's hardware encryption built into iOS 4.
This will provide law enforcement and other parties with a way to access the protected data provided they have physical access to the iDevice. While this may cause nothing to worry about for the average individual it just shows you how much more secure electronic devices will need to be in the future.
Elcomsoft offers a basic Phone Password Breaker for Windows priced at $79 for home use and capable of unlocking encrupted backups of BlackBerry and iOS devices. A much more advanced package for iOS 4 devices is available for government agencies, offering access to other information such as passwords, stored email messages, and deleted SMS messages and emails.
Let us know your thoughts on the situation in the comments section below…

By John Grabski - February 7, 2004
The NVIDIA Personal Cinema drivers install smoothly and correctly detect all
attached hardware, although I did find newer drivers later from NVIDIA's
website, which also installed correctly. NVDVD also installed without a hitch,
updated properly, and produced good results, almost as useable as PowerDVD XP.
Remote software also appeared to install properly. There were functionality
issues with some of the buttons, but that will be explained later.
The TV feature of this card still seems like it's an unmastered art, even 12
years after Hauppauge's ISA TV-cards hit the mainstream market. There's just
something about TV in a window on your pc that's so...wonderfully geeky. With
the TV-tuner under my scope, I installed WinDVR 2.0 which is a common standard for the
Personal Cinema line itself and also for many stand-alone PCI TV-tuner cards.
However, even with the newest Personal Cinema drivers installed, I could not get
the intuitive and comfortable feeling from it like I did with my previous
multifunction card (an ATI Radeon 8500 AIW-DV).
The basic functions are the same but with refinement. This is apparent during application
initialization, channel changing, and shut-down. I also could not get the
software to stop auto tuning into the first few channels and going through 10
seconds of static before the tuner reached channel 3. I also came to miss the
ability to adjust volume by clicking on the picture and using the mouse button,
another ATI feature that did not make it to the newer versions of WinDVR. I have
a Dish Network dish setup, so I really had no reason to switch channels. I wish
however that there was a bundled TitanTV-like program guide helper/scheduler for
dish users, as I've missed out on some features that many have said are quite
cool. On the good side of things, recording is easy, the quality options give
you many choices as far as audio/video quality, and the user experience is a
rather good one when using the base functions of the TV-tuner setup.
Present-generation NVIDIA Personal Cinema cards are bundled with Ulead DVD
Moviefactory 2 and Ulead Videostudio 6 SE DVD. Moviefactory is a DVD authoring
tool that burns ripped VOB files, imports Quicktime, MPEG and AVI formats, and
features loads of format output/compression control. It falls short in the menus
and transitions department, and it's output isn't the best among it's
competitors (noticeable artifacting), but it is a decent application that
definitely has a use for burning video to VCD or DVD. At times, I found the user
interface somewhat perplexing, but once I got the hang of it I was able to get
Alien Resurrection burned successfully to VCD. VideoStudio 6 SE DVD is a capturing
tool that is primarily meant for the VIVO functions of the card. Time
constraints prevented me from going the VIVO route, but I was able to capture
from the TV tuner and save in MPEG2 format successfully. It's user interface is
similar to DVD MovieFactory, which helped the learning curve substantially.
This card is not meant to be a gaming powerhouse, a conclusion easily drawn by
the fact that there are no ramsinks on the backside ram chips and the fact that
the memory runs at the effective speed of 500MHz. This seriously limits the
card's ability to keep up with fillrate demands, and also prevents the use of
higher levels of antialiasing and anistropic filtering. Rather than showcasing
the card's weakness by subjecting it to tests beyond its capabilities, I've
decided to include benchmarks of a few modern games at realistic levels. This (for all but one test) means 1024x768, 0xAA/0xAF and
2xAA/4XAF. The exception is the Soldier of Fortune 2 Demo test, which capably
utilized 1280x1024at 0xAA/0xAF and even 2XAA/4xAF. Results were recorded with
On to the benchmarks...
As seen in the performance chart, it's easy to surmise that this card is not
designed for higher resolutions and settings. Though compromises could be made in the
NVIDIA control panel by reducing texture and mipmap quality, doing so would not
be desirable for the majority of gamers. In Call of Duty, the card shows that it can at
least handle the highest detail settings with no AA or AF in the graphically
intensive Dawnville and POW Camp demos. Adding AA and AF brings the FPS to a
lower frame rates albeit still playable.
Savage, utilizing a
very advanced and modern engine, shows that the 5600 runs out of gas with the
vegetation (and yet is still fairly playable), but gives us a better showing
with the in-game detail set to medium. The game still looks impressive even when
set to medium.
With Tron 2.0 once again the card's inability to handle AA and AF,
put up good frame rates without, but dropped dramatically with both enabled.
"best possible score" 3DMark2001 result shows that this card is basically
between a GF3ti500 @ stock clocked and a stock GF4ti4200 in terms of DX7/DX8
performance. 3DMark2003 results will not be published in this review due to the
use of Forceware 53.03 drivers, which FutureMark has deemed to be invalid as far
as benchmark results go. But without advertising the scores (and seeing it run
with both 52.16 and 53.03 drivers) I can safely say that this card's DX9
performance is right in line with other stock 5600's, which basically means that
this card does not have the sufficient horsepower to run games at moderate
resolutions with DX9 shaders enabled. Switching to Pixel Shader 1.1 will
increase performance dramatically for this card for games that allow for Pixel
Shader version selection.
Wrapping the tests up is the Soldier of Fortune 2
Demo, which is quite a graphically intensive variation of the Quake 3 Team Arena
engine. There are many graphical options to modify, and enabling everything
possible and turning everything up all the way can still bring even a high end
card to its knees at higher resolutions. The Chaintech 5600 puts up a
good showing with all Non-Advanced menu options set to highest, and even pulls
playable frames with AA and AF enabled.Overall I'm satisfied with the card's gaming performance
but I'm left wishing for more so I attempted some overclocking. Well, right out of the box
the most it could muster was 360/520. This
is not much of an improvement, and did not help gaming performance. It did
create more heat though. I decided to investigate the quality of the heatsink
application, when I discovered that the heatsink was barely touching the core at
all, completely solving my "why is my core @ 77°" question. Reapplication of
proper thermal compound (a little more this time to allow for proper contact)
and re-installation brought my temperatures down to 60°~66°.
However, the overclocking
potential did not change. So, regarding performance it was
satisfactory but nothing to write home about.CONCLUSIONThe Chaintech 5600 Personal Cinema definitely proved to be a useful card, with
an abundance of features and accessories. The breakout box will definitely see
use. The TV tuner has made a part-time TV out of the PC and the nVremote has turned out to be a useful pointing
device and application launcher. The software package is comprehensive and
NVIDIA definitely has made strides in its WDM driver department to provide the
user with an easy way of getting drivers loaded.
Though the software was a
little clunky feeling it was functional and useful
enough to be used regularly. The gaming performance is sufficient for DX7 and DX8 games, and the potential for overclocking
is not very high. So, if you're not a huge gamer but you want to have
respectable gaming performance at 1024x768 and also having VIVO features with a TV Tuner, then
this card is for you. I give the card 3½ stars out of 5 for looks, 4½ for functionality (It's basically a
Swiss Army Knife Video Card), and a 3½ for value (this card does indeed have a
lot of features and software for the money).
My overall user experience was "enjoyable". My highest frustration level was
"mild" (installation, twitchy
encoding, volume control on nVremote). This card will serve well in an HTPC or
entry level digital media station. It includes enough gaming power to capably
handle the needs of any entry level or most midrange gamers.

When Ira Vishner's mother died two years ago, she left an unfinished sweater she'd been knitting for Vishner's wife. Being a practical man, Vishner, a Brookline consultant, did the logical thing. ''It was there and needed to be finished,'' he said. So he learned how to knit , and finished it himself. Men who knit. It has the comical ring of a one-liner, like, say, grandmas who parasail. Although men and women have been crossing each other's gender lines for years, knitting for the most part has remained a stubbornly segregated activity. Women knit sweaters. Men get to wear them. This seems to be less true than ever now. The roster of men who knit includes no less macho a male than Ethan Zohn, winner of the third edition of CBS's ''Survivor: Africa.'' He was shown knitting on the Survivor recap special two weeks ago. Network TV honcho Stu Bloomberg reportedly took up knitting during vacations on the Massachusetts coast. (He may well be knitting more than ever now, since being removed from his job earlier this month as the head of ABC's entertainment division.) Two local yarn shops, A Good Yarn in Brookline and Woolcott & Co. in Cambridge, run knitting classes taught by men. Men are showing up at knitting circles (or ''stitch and bitch'' sessions, in knitting vernacular). Teenaged boys are knitting, boys such as Michael Godin of Leominster, who will turn 16 next week. TAUGHT BY HIS MOTHER, HE KNITS FOR HIMSELF, HIS CHURCH, HIS COUSINS, AND HAS ALSO CROCHETED AFGHANS TO DONATE TO ROMANIAN ORPHANS. HE USED TO FEEL SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT KNITTING, HE SAYS, BUT NOT ANYMORE. ``I SAW (ETHAN ZOHN KNITTING) ON `SURVIVOR,' '' HE SAYS. ``THAT WAS SORT OF, LIKE, REASSURING.'' Conclusion: There are "tons" of men who knit, states Niki Bronstein, owner of Woolcott & Co. in a telephone interview. "I can think of probably 10 right off the bat. As a matter of fact, there's a man in my store right now."

History repeating itself? George Sands would be classified as a modern woman in the present. I think men and women are just getting to the point where they are going to do what they want and not worry about what someone may think. I find this especially true in the younger generation;post baby boomer.
Now if they would just report that men are RECLAIMING knitting - rather then act like men who knit are the social equivilant of George Sands in her time....or worse, treating male knitters like circus animals.

The JG seems to be hot topic on some MMT blogs at the moment. Peter Cooper asks whether a job guarantee or a basic income guarantee is preferable.
Read it at The heteconomist.com
The Transition to a Freer Society: BIG or JG?
An MMT site bringing you dogma-free economics without the pleadings of self interest
A JG would be viewed as less radical than a guaranteed income. I basically agree with Neil. Bill Mitchell also wrote a comparative between the two and why he preferred the JG.
If you're doing reform, the process involves transition through 'baby steps'.
My comment at Peter C.'s
A big plus for a BIG, in the US at least, is the very convenient fact that Milton Friedman and other prominent conservative and Libertarian economists have already proposed one, in addition to a bevy of liberal economists. A "negative income tax" is an economic policy idea that has legs in the US, whereas a JG is anathema to the right, who absolutely hate FDR's New Deal programs like the WPA and CCC.
Winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics who fully support a basic income include Herbert Simon[30], Friedrich Hayek[31][32], James Meade, Robert Solow[33], and Milton Friedman[34]. [Wikipedia-Basic Income Guarantee]
Most conservatives are fairly indifferent to policy, they just know they're against whatever liberals are for. Conservatives were against Job Guarantee and in favor of a NIT (inefficient bureaucracy vs efficient tax system) when the New Dealers were providing "make work" WPA jobs. But when liberals (or moderate Republicans like Nixon) suggest using an NIT to provide a basic income guarantee, then they switch arguments from efficiency to equity, advocating the value of earned wages vs unearned welfare.
That same dynamic is playing out with Republicans like Romney and Gingrich who once advocated "conservative solutions" like a payroll tax holiday or an individual mandate for health insurance having to sheepishly eat their own words once our Kenyan, socialist Democratic President adopting Republican proposals.
Why did Friedman support this?
I could see conservatives supporting this as a way to reduce the administrative costs of traditional welfare programs.

Former supporter files small claims action against KapturWritten by Kristen Criswell | | email@example.com
Marcy Kaptur's former memorial chairman, Nick Haupricht, has filed a claim against Kaptur in small claims court on Sept. 17.
Haupricht claims "misguidance by her staff" and is seeking $3,458.02 in the Toledo Municipal Court Lucas County Civil Division. The money covers advertisements in local papers, flyers as well as applications for memorial stones, he said.
Steve Fought, communications director for Kaptur, said the claim is without merit.
"He took actions that weren't authorized by anyone. He got out ahead of himself and is trying to find someone to blame," Fought said.
Hapupritch said he was just following the paperwork given to him by Kaptur's office.
In December 2009, Haupricht took a leadership role as chairman for the proposed veteran's garden at the new VA Clinic. In this role, Haupricht was in charge of arranging transportation and a temporary staging area of a memorial stone.
Haupricht sent fliers to more than 400 motorcycle clubs asking bikers to accompany the memorial to its final placement. He said Dan Foote, who is in charge of veterans' relations in Kaptur's office, authorized him to send out materials. Haupricht also purchased ad space in local papers.
Meanwhile, Haupricht had been working with Tony Chiaravalloti, who worked for Granites of America in Rhode Island, which housed the memorial, about moving it to Toledo. Chiaravalloti sent a letter to Haupricht stating, "We are reluctant to send the stones until we … can review plans."
Haupricht had a blueprint of the memorial made up and sent it to Chiaravalloti. Haupricht also began work on applications for stone pavers, or memorial stones, to accompany the memorial.
In May, Haupricht had also been hosting fundraising dinners with actress Chris Noel in attendance. He hosted two dinners at local VA locations; a third scheduled dinner was canceled by Kaptur's office.
On April 13, Haupricht received a letter from Steve Katich in Kaptur's office stating that the work on the memorial has been postponed and for Haupricht to suspend any activity promoting the memorial stone and any fundraising for it.
"The quarry owner whose stone it is has stated in order to give the mock up stones reverence they deserve he has offered the stones to communities which either already have a memorial or are currently building one. The completion of a veterans memorial on the campus of the proposed VA outpatient clinic site in Toledo is contingent on the completion of the clinic," Katich wrote. "Since the clinic completion has been delayed, a veterans memorial cannot move forward."
The letter also states that a design for the memorial would depend on a design of the clinic and would take "significant planning and organization." Katich said for Kaptur to participate in any way, House rules require the existence of a nonprofit organization to manage the funding portion of such an effort.
Haupricht said he hadn't previously been notified of any such stipulations.
Haupricht is currently working as a volunteer for the campaign of Rich Iott, Republican candidate for 9th Congressional District and Kaptur's opponent.
"Because I can't get Marcy to represent me in any shape of form, I thought it was time to get one in there that will be my representative," he said.
Haupricht began volunteering for Iott two weeks ago, he said.

Clack, clack, clack—the sound of wooden and hard-plastic swords striking one another spills out onto a quiet street in Sorrento Valley. Inside the nondescript Team Touche Fencing Center warehouse, a handful of students spar, getting pointers from three attentive instructors.
"And that, Tiffany, is why you don't want to get too close right there," instructor April Apperson-Farrell says to a young knight whose shining armor is jeans and a tank top. "More fights have been lost just by stepping on the opponent's sword tip."
In the Middle Ages, lead instructor Scott Farrell later tells me as he hands me my own heavy, wooden sword, a knight's brain was as important as his brawn. Courtesy and honor were as respected as sheer grit and bloody victories. Living by the Code of Chivalry was the ultimate goal.
Weapon in hand, I immediately want to swing my sword around like Penelope Cruz in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, maybe finishing my swordsmanship debut with a backflip into the splits. Instead, I listen to Scott. The guy knows a thing or two about chivalry: He's the founder of Chivalry Today, an educational program focusing on the history, literature and philosophy of the Code of Chivalry through monthly podcasts, interactive classroom presentations and articles and essays. Scott looks me in the eye and tells me what his "Swords of Chivalry: Historical Sword Combat" class is really about.
"What we're learning here, just to give you the basic rundown, it was a style of fencing that was taken from 14th- and 15th-century fighting manuals," he says. "So, it's a historically documentable style of fighting…. The purpose of doing this, in terms of integrating it with the rest of the chivalry program, is to bring into focus that sense of competitive activity with sensibility, restraint, control and respect for your opponents."
For example: When (or if ) I ever do get good enough to fence competitively, he says, it's up to me to acknowledge any and all blows from my opponent. There are no referees calling me out, only my own personal code of honor that, even in the heat of battle, should have me admitting a loss even when I really, really want to win. And when (or if ) I get good enough to battle an opponent to the ground, acting chivalrously means I'll have the wherewithal to stop myself from "killing" my foe if he or she surrenders.
"It's a good metaphor for anything you do in life," Scott says. "You never want to be so focused on winning or profit, or whatever, that you kind of lose your own sense of responsibility."
Point taken. I'm ready to swing my sword. But first, Scott drives home the chivalry thing by sharing a personal anecdote. He met his wife, a fellow instructor and lover of all things medieval, in a history-reenactment group. They fought each other—physically—before falling in love.
"And we still enjoy fighting in the style of combat," he laughs. "It's funny, though, a lot of people say, 'Oh, well, it must be a great way to work out your aggression.' Uh-uh. You do not take aggressions out onto the field when you're crossing swords with somebody else."
Got it. My anger tempered and my honor intact, I'm ready to fight. Scott slowly takes me through the five meisterhau (that means "master cuts" in German):
1. Zornhau (strike of wrath)
2. Krumphau (crooked strike)
3. Zwerchhau (thwart or cross strike)
4. Schielhau (squinting strike)
5. Scheitelhau (scalp or parting strike)
I'm no better than the kids who take his class in remembering my left from right. I keep swinging the sword as if it's a baseball bat, forgetting that it's extremely important to strike an opponent with the edge, not the face, of my sword. In short: I suck. But just holding the sword makes me feel kinda chivalrous. I begin to understand Scott's obsession.
"We still have a sense of honor in today's world, but there are an awful lot of people who fall short of it, right?" he says in between demonstrating the zornhau and the scheitelhau. "We have politicians who lie, we have business people who are corrupt and we have soldiers who are brutal, but that doesn't mean we don't try to live by that code of honor. And if we fail today, it doesn't mean that we can't try again tomorrow."

Description :
What is important to know when the time to buy yourself a domain name comes?
Nowadays, the world is all about being online. Most of the businesses are available completely in an online format and they are actually a lot more convenient as doing business online doesn't have to be in person which saves you the trouble of going somewhere.
Also, there is the factor that online businesses often promote themselves with the help of quite good discounts which actually makes them more than viable competition to the physical stores. Technology advanced quite a lot in the past few years and now having a website that is managed by your company is a pretty important thing as it really boosts up the profits for any business. The website of your company will be something like a gate that you will use to reach your clients and they will use it in order to seek your products or services.
One thing is clear - you need a website in order to be competitive in this Internet age. Whether your business available only online or you have a traditional business which seeks a little support from the web, having a website is quite important. Building a site in general isn't something that hard. However, deciding on the domain name that is right for your business might be quite tricky as there are some things which you need to keep in mind in order to get the best results from your domain name.
You might say that choosing a name shouldn't be quite hard. Well, you probably are right, but only partially. Surely choosing a domain name shouldn't be trouble, but think about the fact that that domain name will be used in the future for reference to your business. A good and successful name will lead to a good and successful business while if you choose second-rate name, people might end up not noticing your website and your business might fall behind the competitors despite its quality. The most important function of the domain name is to be catchy and to get you a good ranking in the search engines. Getting a good rank in these search engines (Google, Yahoo and etc.) will ensure that your business will be noticed and once someone searches for the merchandise or the service that you offer, your site will pop up and they will be able to purchase from you. Here are a few general tips that will help you choose the best domain name:
- Names that draw attention, are easy to remember and are catchy are preferable.
- The shorter, the better as it is quite easy to remember. In any case don't go over 12 characters.
- Try using a keyword that relates to your merchandise and company name in the domain name as that helps for search engine rankings.
- Have another option ready in case the domain name you have chosen is already taken.
- Get the '.com' extension. It's the most popular one.
Following those tips will help you choose the best name for your website that will not only bring many customers to you but will make you known amongst your competitors.
Jack Jameson enjoys sharing various online tips about domain names (interesting to know is that the Swedish term is domänen) and hosting. He even often advise young enterpreneurs on how to start successful web hosting business. The company he often uses as an example is called UnoEuro.

I sort of feel like I've outgrown this blog because who I was when I started it isn't who I am now.
Sure, I'm still sarcastic and I can be a complainer, but so much has changed since 2009.
Since that time when my family picked up, moved across the country with a 3-month-old baby and our lives were forever changed.
I'm finding a new home on the web. I hope to launch it in T minus 10 days and I hope you'll stick with me. This one will stay live, I apparently get lots of visits from people looking for letters to their best friend and Misoprostol use… that experience is still so fresh in my mind, I want to leave this up for them to have a place to read about my experience. Even if it's just a virtual fist bump. Been there. Done that. I feel your pain.
I hope, in my new home that I can continue to be candid.
I hope that I can continue to express myself and maybe even have my words resonate with some of you.
I hope, though, that things will be different as well.
Less cursing. Hopefully more reflective, thoughtful writing.
Hopefully more vocal about the things that I struggle with daily, not in a complaining manner, but in a "I'm there too, I feel you. Fist bump. "
I hope to have more conversations with you guys.
I hope to share more of my secret dreams and aspirations.
I've been really encouraged this year to step out and try new things. I hope you guys will see that and feel encouraged as well.
I have lots of hopes… and I want you to come with me.
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, I'll be announcing the new blog name in both of those places.
If not… stay tuned.
I'm not done yet.
Come on…don't copy- get your own material. Nobody likes a cheater! Original & Hand Written Plagiarism Will Be Detected. This site is being monitored by CopyGator. Mmkay? Thanks.

Vermont couples rejoice at rulingBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | June 27,2013Jeff Towsley said Wednesday was the best day of his life.
"It was pouring rain today, and I still could not wipe the smile off my face," said the 54-year-old mail carrier from South Burlington.
Towsley, 54, has been with his husband, Mike Bond, for 29 years. They married on their 25th anniversary, after Vermont passed same-sex marriage, and Wednesday they watched their marriage gain federal recognition as the Supreme Court overturned portions of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied national recognition of same-sex unions regardless of those unions' status at the state level.
"It has been an annoyance since 1996 when they passed this law," Towsley said. "To me, it looked like blatant discrimination from the beginning."
It also had real-world consequences, such as when Towsley recently spent time on worker's compensation.
"When I went to buy back my sick leave — you buy it back at a lower rate if you're married or have children," he said. "I am married. I have a marriage certificate. They denied me specifically because of DOMA. They said, no, you're not married because your husband's a man."
Towsley said he has an appeal pending, which he had to file based on a 2nd U.S. Circuit Court ruling.
"Now, I have a Supreme Court decision to uphold me," he said.
Rebecca and Sally Majoya of Proctor would have liked to have had federal recognition a couple years ago when their eldest son applied for financial aid before college.
The Majoyas file their state taxes jointly, but their federal taxes separately. So, they filled out their son's Vermont Student Assistance Corporation paperwork as if they were a family of four, but the federal FAFSA form as if Rebecca Majoya were a single mother.
"They all have to match, so it all got stuck," Rebecca Majoya, 49, said.
It took a number of conversations with state and federal student aid officials to straighten everything out.
"That first year, it was five months late and, or course, it's first-come, first-serve, so he got less because of the wait," Rebecca Majoya said.
Meanwhile, Sally Majoya was pursuing a second bachelors degree with enough of a course load to qualify as a part-time student. Had their marriage been federally recognized, that would have qualified them for more aid.
"She still owes student loans," Rebecca Majoya added. "I don't. If you still owe student loans, they look at that as part of your family's debt for figuring aid."
But not, she said, in same-sex marriages.
Rebecca Majoya said it will be a relief to no longer worry about what other gaps a lack of federal recognition might drop them into.
"Anything happens to me or happens to her, it's going to make it so there's no question who's entitled to what," said Heidi Eccleston of Clarendon, who has been with her wife, Diane Hamel, for 11 years. "It's going to give us the equality we deserve."
For Eccleston, a 45-year-old self-employed carpenter, one of the larger practical aspects of that equality deals with health insurance.
"Diane works for a restaurant," Eccleston said. "When she was a manager there, they offered her insurance, but they wouldn't give insurance to me because they were based out of state."
Wednesday's decision, she said, will keep others in her position from being excluded.
"I was excited that it had passed, that we were getting the equality we deserve, that we're not second-class citizens," she said. "We're no different than any other couple. We love each other and care for each other."

Paul Hyde jailed for Billericay Valentine's card rampage
Posted: July 04, 2012|
A JILTED lover has been sentenced to four-and-a-half years in jail after going on an axe rampage in Billericay.
Paul Hyde, of no fixed address, was sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to 18 offences, including two threats to kill and two counts of common assault.
Mr Justice (David) Owen-Jones said Hyde "simply lost it" in a drunken rampage through Patricia Gardens on the evening of Wednesday, February 15.
The court was told in graphic detail how Hyde, 46, launched an attack on his partner(Alison Hall), a neighbour and caused £48,820 of damage to neighbouring property by smashing doors, windows and cars with an axe.
Hyde and his partner, who had planned to marry, had ended their relationship after a dispute. over a Valentine's Day card.
Hyde had returned to his girlfriend's property, in Patricia Gardens, to collect his belongings. The court was told how hHyde had consumed tablets, including Paracetamol, and had started to drink whisky, when his partner returned home shortly after 5pm to discover he had smashed a drum kit she had given him.
Hyde smashed a bottle of beer against the wall, threw the microwave on the floor and took an axe from the kitchen and pursued his partner into the lounge.
In prosecution Michael Fraser described what happened next.
Prosecuting, Michael Fraser said: "[Hyde] pushed her on to the settee. He then leaned over her and said 'I am going to f****** kill you.' He then put his hands around her throat and said 'you and me are going to die in here together because I love you.'"
Hyde had locked the front door to the house preventing her from escaping. He then made a threat to pour petrol over the house and set it alight with the pair of them locked inside.
Hyde continued his axe rampage in the house smashing the TV, kitchen cabinets and the cooker with the gas turned on before his partner managed to make her escape.
The rampage then continued into the street as Hyde took out his anger on cars parked in the road.
He then smashed his way into the property of a neighbour, whom he hit across the face with the back of his hand before holding the blade of the axe against her throat and threatening to kill her if she did not tell him the whereabouts of her daughter.
She managed to escape into a neighbour's home.
The prosecution then read out five more witness statements from neighbours.
Hyde, wearing a turquoise polo shirt, sat motionless in the dock as the evening's events were related. laid bare
The court heard how armed police arrived on scene and fired two rounds of rubber bullets at Hyde who shouted at them to shoot him.
Both rounds missed, but a third knocked him to the ground and he was apprehended.
It was only when a letter from his former partner to the judge was read out in court that Hyde began to smirk while he sat in the dock.
The letter said both she and her daughter were "homeless and destitute because of the actions of this man", and that she had not been able to sleep or go out alone through fear since the incident.
In defence, Andrew Hope said his client had accepted "full responsibility" for his actions and had pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.
Mr Hope told the court how Hyde had met his partner shortly after the death of his father, at the end of March 2011, and that their relationship had "taken off with great speed".
"What seems to have happened is that perhaps rather than going through the process of dealing with a loss of a parent and going through a period of grief, [Hyde] threw all his emotions into this new relationship," said Mr Hope.
"Not having properly dealt with the passing of his father, his emotional reaction to her decision to end the relationship was way beyond what it normally would or should have been."
Passing down his sentence, Mr Justice Owen-Jones accepted Hyde's emotional state at the ending of the relationship and his remorse shown in the aftermath, but said: "It is unbelievable what you did to affect the equilibrium of these poor people."
Mr Justice Owen-Jones imposed a sentence of four-and-a-half years and restricting orders forbidding Hyde to make contact with his former partner and from entering Patricia Gardens ever again.

Press Release:
GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NASDAQGS: DECK - News) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
First Quarter Highlights
Net sales increased 16.2% to $155.9 million versus $134.2 million last year.
Gross margin improved 610 basis points to 50.0% versus 43.9% a year ago.
Diluted EPS increased 47.3% to $1.37 compared to $0.93 a year ago.
UGG® brand sales increased 14.2% to $104.4 million versus $91.4 million last year.
Teva® brand sales increased 21.4% to $43.2 million compared to $35.6 million last year.
Retail sales increased 66.1% to $23.1 million compared to $13.9 million last year; same store sales rose 28.2%.
Angel Martinez, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated: "Our first quarter earnings performance was much stronger than expected, driven by higher sales of the UGG brand combined with double digit growth of the Teva brand. Both our direct-to-consumer business, highlighted by same store sales growth of 28.2%, and our overall domestic wholesale business were above plan, as consumer response to the UGG brand's diverse assortment of spring boots, sandals, and new sneaker collection was very positive. At the same time, the Teva brand delivered its strongest quarter in several years, fueled by sales of our expanded spring line of open and closed toe styles. These results are a validation of Teva's resurgence as an outdoor market leader and underscore our efforts to lessen the brand's dependence on weather. The sell-through performance of our entire brand portfolio this spring has been very encouraging and has led to improved orders for the fall season, evidenced by our heightened outlook for the full year. We move forward with strong momentum across our business, and with $357 million in cash and no debt, we are well capitalized to execute our future growth strategies."
Division Summary
UGG® Brand
UGG brand net sales for the first quarter increased 14.2% to $104.4 million compared to $91.4 million for the same period last year. The sales increase was primarily attributable to strong sell-through of the spring line at company-owned retail stores, coupled with increased shipments of spring product to domestic wholesale accounts.
Teva® Brand
Teva brand net sales increased 21.4% to $43.2 million for the first quarter compared to $35.6 million for the same period last year. The increase in sales was the result of strong domestic and international demand for the expanded spring line of open and closed toe footwear, as well as from the Company assuming control of direct distribution in the Benelux region.
Other Brands
Combined net sales of the Company's other brands were $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $7.3 million for the same period last year.
Sales for the eCommerce business, which are included in the brand sales numbers above, increased 13.8% to $18.4 million for the first quarter compared to $16.2 million for the same period last year.
Retail Stores
Sales for the retail store business, which are included in the brand sales numbers above, increased 66.1% to $23.1 million for the first quarter compared to $13.9 million for the same period last year, driven by five new stores and a same store sales increase of 28.2% for those stores that were open for the full three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2010.
Full-Year 2010 Outlook
Based on better than expected first quarter results combined with higher projected sales for the UGG and Teva brands, the Company is raising its full-year outlook.
The Company now expects its full-year revenue to increase approximately 13% over 2009 levels, compared to previous guidance of approximately 11%.
The Company now expects its full-year diluted earnings per share to increase approximately 11% over the non-GAAP diluted EPS of $8.94 in 2009, compared to previous guidance of approximately 5%. This guidance assumes a gross profit margin of approximately 48% and SG&A as a percentage of sales of approximately 26%. The non-GAAP diluted EPS of $8.94 in 2009 excluded pre-tax non-cash impairment charges of $1.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, as discussed in the related earnings release.
Fiscal 2010 guidance includes estimates of incremental expenses of approximately $8.0 million, or approximately $0.38 per diluted share, associated with the transition to wholesale sales for the Teva brand in the Benelux region and France and incremental expenses and a shift in sales from 2010 to 2011 associated with the upcoming transitions in January 2011 to wholesale sales in the United Kingdom, the Benelux region and France. Fiscal 2010 guidance also assumes an effective tax rate of approximately 37% compared to 36.2% in 2009 due to the impact on international income from the aforementioned incremental expenses and shift in profit.
Second Quarter Outlook
The Company currently expects second quarter 2010 revenue to increase approximately 25% over 2009 levels.
The Company currently expects second quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share to be flat compared to second quarter 2009 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.26, which excluded pre-tax non-cash impairment charges of $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, as discussed in the related earnings release.
Second quarter guidance includes improved gross margins compared to 2009 due to a higher retail mix and improved brand margins. In addition, second quarter guidance includes higher levels of fixed overhead for new retail stores, international infrastructure and other general and administrative costs. Second quarter guidance also includes estimates of approximately $1.0 million, or approximately $0.05 per diluted share, for incremental investments associated with the distribution transitions. A significant amount of the Company's operating expenses are fixed and spread evenly on an absolute dollar basis throughout each quarter, resulting in the greatest impact on earnings in the lowest volume sales quarter, which has historically been the second quarter.
The Company's conference call to review first quarter fiscal 2010 results will be broadcast live over the internet today, Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 4:30 pm Eastern Time. The broadcast will be hosted at www.deckers.com and www.earnings.com.

The Sea and Cake flirt with the idea of a routine, but they've never really been motionless. The differences between each new effort of theirs may not be obvious, but close listens reveal a band that's always been allergic to making the same album twice in a row. Like a child growing in negligible increments every year, they may not initially sound much different in 2012 than they did on 2011's The Moonlight Butterfly, but a comparison between their present form and that of their outstanding 1995 sophomore album, Nassau, paints two very different pictures of the same group.
Runner, their tenth full-length, is an album that lives and dies by its prime cuts, which unfortunately occupy the minority of it. It's only a couple great songs away from bland redundancy, but it's these sparse moments – where everything clicks — that would motivate a band to keep trying new things after almost 20 years together. They may revert to old habits more often than risk making new ones, but if they can still strike gold here and there amid all the pleasant consistency, then it's worth it.
Runner is worth it. Aesthetically, it's one of the band's most synthetic albums, continuing along a path they started on near the turn of the century. Frontman Sam Prekop wrote these songs around synth and sequencer parts as opposed to guitar: a tactic that yields the ridiculously inviting lead single "Harps", which is not only the best song on here by far but arguably the best of any release in this heavily stacked September week. "That melody and structure [of "Harps"] could not have happened if I hadn't played off the sequencer right at the beginning," he said recently. "Having the pieces start in my home studio, I became quite cavalier with them, painting with a new fat sloppy brush."
Prekop's brush manages few other new and interesting strokes for his band – "The Invitations" is another electronically anchored highlight that shape-shifts from ambient to disco – but nothing else on Runner can touch "Harps". Given their age, it's tough to see The Sea and Cake deviating too far from their proven techniques, based in technical precision and the obsessive production and always-crisp drumming of John McEntire, or taking any risks radical enough to make things really interesting in the future. But if Runner is to stand for something, it's that The Sea and Cake are still delivering, and even after so many years, they're not yet re-gifting.
Essential Tracks: "Harps", "The Invitations", and "Harbor Bridges"

I expect Brouwers to play for one and maybe Heimeroth gets a start too.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce nominated for Manager of the Month award, but he faces stiff competition
Posted: March 13, 2014|
Hull City boss Steve Bruce has been nominated for the Manager of the Month award for February, which will be revealed tomorrow at 10am.
Bruce oversaw some great results for the Tigers in that time, having successfully seen off Cardiff 4-0 on Welsh soil and picked up a 2-0 win at Sunderland, along with a 1-1 draw against Tottenham.
He has also helped them to progress into the FA Cup semi-finals, having beaten Brighton in the qualifying month, before sending Sunderland packing last weekend.
Whilst some fans will fear him picking up the 'dreaded' award, he will have stiff competition for it from Jose Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers.

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce also turned a shaky start to 2014 into a month of magic for the Hammers, with four straight wins through February and three clean-sheets.

Strange email problem
Here's the problem ...
I am unable to send emails from a Macbook Air to domains which are hosted by Vodafone New Zealand.
I can send from any other computer (PC) or iPhone or iPad on the same local network using the identical settings and the emails go through.
When I send from the Macbook Air, they go out and are accepted and forwarded by the SMTP server but they are not received. I don't get a rejection email, they just don't get received at the other end.
I have tried using different SMTP servers and the same happens, i.e. emails go through from every device except the Macbook.
Same issue occurs using other internet access points, i.e. I have the same problem whether I try from my office or from home.
Not sure whether the problem is this specific Macbook or it is a generic Macbook problem.
Any one have any ideas?
If you're not getting a rejection it's something at the other end. Likely some mis-configured filter/spam rule etc.

Wetlands are a part of a larger watershed context. A watershed is an area of land where all of the water is somehow connected to each other (above ground or underground) in a water system made up of a tributary of headwater streams, different kinds of wetlands, lakes or ponds (or both), rivers, creeks and/or major streams, flowing into another water body, possibly a large lake, large river, or ocean. Often when wetland managers talk about protecting wetlands, they are also considering the watershed (streams, lakes, ponds, other waters, ocean) that are part of the bigger picture.
Mississippi River and Drought 2012 12
A record drought in summer 2012 for much of the U.S. had significant impacts on agriculture and lowered the level of the Mississippi River. It also improved the "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico, due to decreased farming, but left much of the coastal communities along the Mississippi unprepared for the historic storm, Hurricane Isaac, that would sweep through the Gulf and travel up the river in late August 2012. For articles and reports on the impacts of the drought onto wetlands and natural resources along the Mississippi River and connected ecosystems, please peruse the articles linked below.
Mississippi River, Wetlands and Hurricanes 27
Hurricane Isaac of August 2012, a historic storm, powered up the Mississippi River, unexpectedly going where water had not gone before. The impact was devastating on coastal communities along the river and in Louisiana, stranding cattle and livestock, drowning thousands of invasive nutria and eroding coastal wetlands. ASWM has posted a number of links to articles and resources, news reports and blogs on the impacts of Hurricane Isaac and other hurricanes on wetlands and the Mississippi River.
Natural Floodplain Functions Alliance 9
The Natural Floodplain Functions Alliance (NFFA) is an affiliation of nonprofit and private organizations, government agencies and individuals dedicated to the protection and preservation of the natural functions of floodplains, including coastal areas. As a founding member of the NFFA, the Association of State Wetland Managers is pleased to provide a place on its website, but ASWM is one of many NFFA members and these webpages represent the collective work and contributions of NFFA member organizations. These webpages provide information about NFFA, its activities and publications and reports useful to those interested in learning more about the importance of natural floodplains. NFFA was established to "promote, protect, and enhance the protection, restoration, and management of natural floodplain resources." Members share information and may elect to coordinate actions on issues of interest, but the Natural Floodplain Function Alliance does not take formal positions on matters of national policy, guidance or legislation. For a copy of the Natural Floodplain Function Alliance mission statement, goals and objectives click here.
For more information or if you are interested in joining the alliance, please contact Dave Fowler with the Association of State Floodplain Managers or Jeanne Christie (email@example.com) with the Association of State Wetland Managers.
Floods & Natural Hazards 41
ASWM has been involved with the discussion on wetlands in the context of floodplains, flooding events and other natural hazards for over 20 years. ASWM recently published its draft report, "Assessing the Natural & Beneficial Functions of Floodplains" here. In addition to the resources published here, please also visit the Association of State Floodplain Managers, a long-time partner and "sister" organization of ASWM's.

Watersheds 16
Wetlands are a part of a larger watershed context. A watershed is an area of land where all of the water is somehow connected to each other (above ground or underground) in a water system made up of a tributary of headwater streams, different kinds of wetlands, lakes or ponds (or both), rivers, creeks and/or major streams, flowing into another water body, possibly a large lake, large river, or ocean. Often when wetland managers talk about protecting wetlands, they are also considering the watershed (streams, lakes, ponds, other waters, ocean) that are part of the bigger picture. On this webpage, there are resources and publications related to watersheds.

Mississippi River Flood 2011 38
Since the events of the Mississippi River floods of 2011, ASWM has kept a finger on the pulse of important media coverage, valuable information, reports --especially as related to wetlands and floodplains management, and interesting blog posts. This page is updated regularly. The information is sorted below into groups to aid in finding information about the flooding events and subsequent coverage.
Mississippi River 2013 4
The record drought of 2012 continued in many parts of the Mississippi Basin at the beginning of 2013. With spring comes snow melt, rain and floods of varying degrees to the Mississippi watershed. Flooding is often regional so certain parts of the watershed may have too much water while others have too little. For articles and reports on the impacts of continuing drought, excessive rainfall and other climatic events along the Mississippi River in 2013, please review the articles linked to below.
