In recent years, many advances in pancreatic surgery have been achieved. Nevertheless, the rate of pancreatic fistula following pancreatic tail resection does not differ between various techniques, still reaching up to 30% in prospective multicentric studies. Taking into account contradictory results concerning the usefulness of covering resection margins after distal pancreatectomy, we sought to perform a systematic, retrospective analysis of patients that underwent distal pancreatectomy at our center.
We retrospectively analysed the data of 74 patients that underwent distal pancreatectomy between 2001 and 2011 at the community hospital in Neuss. Demographic factors, indications, postoperative complications, surgical or interventional revisions, and length of hospital stay were registered to compare the outcome of patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy with coverage of the resection margins vs. patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy without coverage of the resection margins. Differences between groups were calculated using Fisher's exact and Mann–Whitney U test.
Main indications for pancreatic surgery were insulinoma (n=18, 24%), ductal adenocarcinoma (n=9, 12%), non-single-insulinoma-pancreatogenic-hypoglycemia-syndrome (NSIPHS) (n=8, 11%), and pancreatic cysts with pancreatitis (n=8, 11%). In 39 of 74 (53%) patients no postoperative complications were noted. In detail we found that 23/42 (55%) patients with coverage vs. 16/32 (50%) without coverage of the resection margins had no postoperative complications. The most common complications were pancreatic fistulas in eleven patients (15%), and postoperative bleeding in nine patients (12%). Pancreatic fistulas occurred in patients without coverage of the resection margins in 7/32 (22%) vs. 4/42 (1011%) with coverage are of the resection margins, yet without reaching statistical significance. Postoperative bleeding ensued with equal frequency in both groups (12% with coverage versus 13% without coverage of the resection margins). The reoperation rate was 8%. The hospital stay for patients without coverage was 13 days (5–60) vs. 17 days (8–60) for patients with coverage.
The results show no significant difference in the fistula rate after covering of the resection margin after distal pancreatectomy, which contributes to the picture of an unsolved problem.

|Recovery pattern of motor reflex after a single bout of neuromuscular electrical stimulation session.

|We aimed at determining the recovery pattern of neural properties of soleus muscle after a single bout of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) session. Thirteen subjects performed an NMES exercise (75 Hz, 40 contractions, 6.25 s per contraction). Maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), H-reflex at rest and during voluntary contraction fixed at 60% of MVC (respectively, H(max) and H(sup) ) and volitional (V) wave were measured before and during the recovery period following this exercise [i.e., immediately after, 2 h (H2), 2 days (D2) and 7 days (D7)]. MVC exhibited an immediate and a delayed declines at 2 days (respectively, -29.8±4.6%, P<0.001; -13.0±3.4%, P<0.05). Likewise, V/M(sup) was decreased immediately and 2 days after NMES session (respectively, -43.3±11.6%, P<0.05; 35.3±6.6%, P<0.05). The delayed decrements in MVC and V-wave occurred concomitantly with muscle soreness peak (P<0.001). It could be concluded that motor command alterations after an NMES resistance session contributed to the immediate and also to the delayed decreases in MVC without affecting resting and active H-reflex excitability. These results suggested that spinal circuitry function of larger motoneurons was inhibited by NMES (as indicated by the depressed V-wave responses) contrary to the smaller one (indicated by the unchanged H-reflex responses).

Automating the world one-liner at a time…
In this blog I will try to explain different features of sort-object(Sort) cmdlet. For the purpose of this blog, I assume the following objects exist:
MSH C:\temp\monad> $a,$b,$c,$d
Score Name
----- ----
100 John
90 Henry
90 Tom
80 David
From the definition Sort looks like:
MSH C:\temp\monad> (get-command sort-object).Definition
sort-object [[-Property] Object[]] [-Descending] [-Unique] [-InputObject MshObj
ect] [-Culture String] [-CaseSensitive] [-Verbose] [-Debug] [-ErrorAction Actio
nPreference] [-ErrorVariable String] [-OutVariable String] [-OutBuffer Int32]
The basic usage looks like:
<expression> | sort <property>
Sort works on a collection of input objects possibly coming over from a pipeline. Sort will collect all the input objects from the pipeline and then sorts the objects based on other parameters like Property, Descending, Unique etc.
Example: To sort objects based on Score
MSH C:\temp\monad> $a,$b,$c,$d | sort score
----- ----
80 David
Example: To sort objects based on Name
MSH C:\temp\monad> $a,$b,$c,$d | sort Name
Score Name
Example: To sort objects in descending order based on Score
MSH C:\temp\monad> $a,$b,$c,$d | sort Score -Descending
Ok, this is all simple and you might yourself have already explored all this. Let us get into some tricky stuff. How to sort on Score (descending order) and Name (ascending order)
Example: sort on Score descending and then Name ascending
MSH C:\temp\monad> $a,$b,$c,$d | sort @{expression="Score";Descending=$true},@{e
Score Name
Notice the use of @{expression=…}. If you notice the definition of sort-object, the parameter Property takes in a object[]. Property parameter can take entries of form <string> or hashtable (notice @). If the input is a hashtable, then Sort cmdlet specifically looks for "expression","ascending","descending" keys. Ascending and Descending can take only Booleans ( i.e., $true or $false ). Using expression you can do many things.
For example, lets say Henry is very punctual and very dedicated and you wanted to give some additional marks (lets say 2 marks) to encourage him.
MSH C:\temp\monad> $a,$b,$c,$d | sort @{expression={if ($_.Name -eq "Henry") { $
_.Score += 2 }}},Score -Descending
----- ----
92 Henry
Notice the use of Script for expression. In the above example, I changed the original object itself by using $_ and then sorted on Score
MSH C:\temp\monad> $b
Using Script block you can do many things like computing Grades and then sorting on Grade.
MSH C:\temp\monad> $a,$b,$c,$d | sort Grade,@{expression={if ($_.Score -gt 91) {
$Grade="A" } else {$Grade="B" }; add-member noteproperty "Grade" $Grade -InputOb
ject $_}} -Descending
Score Name Grade
----- ---- -----
90 Tom B
80 David B
100 John A
92 Henry A
Sort in its simplest form is very useful. Using expressions effectively makes it more powerful.
One last thing, a number of you has asked how to sort a hashtable using Sort-Object cmdlet.
MSH C:\temp\monad> $hash=@{"Tom"=90;"Henry"=90;"David"=80;"John"=100}
MSH C:\temp\monad> $hash | sort value -descending
Name Value
---- -----
Henry 90
Tom 90
David 80
John 100
This will not work as there is only one object on the pipeline and sort-object does not have anything to sort. However use GetEnumerator() on HashTable to write all the hash entries to the pipeline and then use sort.
MSH C:\temp\monad> $hash.GetEnumerator() | sort value -descending
Henry 90
[Edit: Monad has now been renamed to Windows PowerShell. This script or discussion may require slight adjustments before it applies directly to newer builds.]
PSMDTAG:CMDLET:UTILITY: Sort-Object
PSMDTAG:FAQ: How do I do a multikey sort?
PSMDTAG:FAQ: How do I control the direction of sort?
PSMDTAG:FAQ: How do I sort on an expression?
first I want to take a text file which is a table of numbers and sort them first descending by the first column and then ascending by the 3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9th columns in that order. There are 9 columns of data. By the way the second column is the binary equivalent of the first column.
How do you sort a single object's properties? I have a cmdlet that outputs hundreds of properties and values and I cannot find any way to sort the output by the actual property values.
@Matthew McDondald at ION
$hash | Sort-Object Value
Try that.
@Alexander, I was never notified of your response so was unable to respond. At any rate, I tried what you suggested but that does not work.
[PS] C:\WINDOWS\system32>$hash | Sort-Object Value
Name Value
---- -----
John 100
Henry 90
David 80
Tom 90
On a side note... I'm not particularly interested in sorting a custom hash. My question was specifically regarding how to sort any object by its properties. For example:
Get-Process System | fl *
The properties here are seemingly in a random order, with no apparent way to sort them. I've found ways to do it by searching online, but they are very cumbersome. I'm more interested in why the Powershell team did not include a means to sort properties natively.

Victim loses $22K in cash in armed robbery
SEATTLE -- A woman carrying $22,000 in cash had it stolen by an armed robber last Wednesday while she sat in her parked car near the Rainier Playfield, according to the Seattle Police Department.
Officers arrived to find the victim parked near South Oregon Street and 38th Street shortly before 5 p.m. According to the police report for the incident, the victim appeared to be upset and was crying.
The victim told officers she had spent some time with a friend at the nearby playground. When the friend left, she went back to her car and rolled down the windows.
As she was sitting in her car, she saw a man walking by. She told officers she assumed the man would just keeping walking, but he came up to her open passenger window instead.
According to the report, the man pulled up his sweatshirt to show a gun, which he took out and pointed at the victim, saying, "Give me all you got."
The man then reached into the car, grabbed the victim's purse and ran off, according to the report.
The victim told officers she had $22,000 in cash and a cash card with another $7,000 on it in her purse.
Officers repeatedly asked the victim why she had so much cash on her, and she would only respond that she was going to deposit it, according to the report.
The victim reportedly had no answer for how she had obtained such a large amount of cash or why she didn't deposit it before meeting with her friend. She also wouldn't say whether or not she was meeting someone in the area to buy a car or other large item or if she had met someone online who was possibly trying to scam her.

Brant's charming and engaging tale will allow readers to immerse themselves in the magic and beauty of Europe along with the characters. Although the descriptions of the scenery are amazing, the development of the characters and their unique personalities are what really make this novel shine. What an enjoyable escape!
When Gwendolyn Reese turns 30, she has her practical life completely mapped out — until her eccentric Aunt Bea's sudoku and mah-jongg club gives her the gift of a month traveling in Europe with them over the summer. Since she didn't get the gift she was expecting — an engagement ring from her boyfriend — the time seems right to go away for a bit. At first, Gwen sees the trip as a roster of historic sites and vistas to cross off her life's "to-do" list. Yet as the summer progresses and she gets to know her travel mates — and herself — more, Gwen begins to discover that life is meant to be lived and explored in order to truly be fulfilled.

deggs - Your reasoning is flawed. Just because Acclaim published DD2 and DD3 here and they're now out of business doesn't mean another company could pick up the rights, which is what was done here to begin with (DD1 was published by Tradewest). The publishing license is not the same as the intellectual properties. The NES version of DD2 was recently ported to mobile phones in Europe FYI.

Anyone who says this is a poor man's Double Dragon is ignorant. This came BEFORE Double Dragon. It isn't really that bad for a first gen title, but it isn't that great. The game is near impossible on Lv. 3.
To Ronindennis - While Contra 4 for the Nintendo DS does feature both Contra games for the NES, they lack true multiplayer support. Instead, you control both characters at the same time. Its not a big deal to those who usually play Contra alone, but there are many like myself who like to play with friends. Just thought to point that out.

Difference Between HP and BHP
HP vs BHP
You are bound to have stumbled upon the term Horsepower, whether you own a vehicle or not. HP is a measurement which is used during ads for cars, and it's also something that you will often hear being used by those who work in machine shops, or even men who are car enthusiasts, but what about the term Brake Horsepower, or BHP? The difference between the two is what we will now uncover.
First, let's start with what HP is all about. Invented by James Watt, horsepower originally measured the amount of work, that a horse lifting coal out of a coal mine, could do in a minute. Back then, one HP equated to 33,000 foot-pounds. Today, you can easily convert HP into different units, like 1 HP that equates to 746 Watts. It can also be converted into British Thermal Units, or BTU, joules and calories.
However, the most common use of HP, as a unit, is to measure the power of an engine '" which you can determine by hooking it to a dynamometer. What HP actually measures, is the maximum rate of acceleration and the top speed of the car.
On the other hand, Brake Horsepower measures the HP of an engine without considering the loss in power that is caused by some parts of the engine, like the generator, gearbox, water pump and other auxiliary parts.
There are actually no other key differences between BHP and HP, other than the fact that when BHP is measured, the engine torque is determined by applying a break to the flywheel '" as opposed to using a torque converter, like in the case of HP.
To summerize, HP is measured with all the accoutrements attached to the engine, to determine its maximum rate and speed. BHP, on the other hand, is more of a theoretical calculation, which is made under lab-controlled conditions, and without having anything attached to the engine.
1. HP is the output horsepower rating of an engine, while BHP is the input brake horsepower of an engine.
2. B HP is the measurement of an engine's power without any power losses, while HP is BHP less the power losses.
3. HP is measured by hooking up the engine to a dynamometer, while BHP is measured in a controlled environment without anything attached to the engine.

I'd disagree with the descriptions used – much of it is closer in truth to the difference between gross power output and net power output.
While the use of BHP to denote measurement at a load, or brake (not break, as spelled in the article) is correct, it does not necessarily mean that this must be at the engine flywheel – power as measured at the wheels by a dynomometer is also BHP, as it is still being measured at a brake.
The article also omits certain erroneous uses of the term horsepower, such as the old British vehicle taxation system that rationalised HP as being related largely to cylinder bore in order to assign a levy – hence car models being known by numbers such as "seven" or "twelve", denoting their taxable classification. Interestingly, this also had the side effect of encouraging manufacturers to build small-bore, long-stroke engines for a given capacity, to minimise the duty rate attracted.
Agree with you Chris. Dave has no idea what he's talking about.
Dave is an idiot. Thanks for the article
I agree with both Dave and Chris….both valid. I didn't know about the taxation on the cylinder bores though. Ok so if I understand this correctly…BHP is in a controlled evnirnment with nothing attached to the engine except something such as a brake from an engine dyno, and the same can be said about "RWHP" rear wheel horse power……which is also considered a "break" or Brake lol ok now im confused again. All I do know is in the "real world" you loose power through the drive train= transmission, drive shafts, rear diffs, axles etc. these all play parts on "robbing" horse power or should I be more acurate and say Torque. Because the horse power is just the speed at which is turns…..not the force behind it kinda like volts vs amprage…….I do hear the term BHP and I have been in the auto industry for MANY years….in service depts and as a gear head growing up sooooo i need clarity here! lol
When car manufactures advertise engine power these days, it isn't BHP but HP. Or in other words net horsepower not gross horsepower.
Whilst I applaud everyone for taking the trouble to contribute, the above exchanges are littered with techno-rubbish, and it is reasonably clear that none of the contributors have ever been directly involved in engine or vehicle performance measurements. I have, and rather than try to put everything straight here, I would recommend, to anyone interested, the Wikipedia article on Horsepower. Some may find the more technical content a little daunting, but I strongly recommend reading all the way through as there are answers there for almost everyone. (I confess I have not been through the Wikipedia article with a fine toothcomb, but on a speed-read it is dramatically more accurate than the stuff above.)
BTW, Dave's comments are basically correct. And Chris, that is NOT a maybe.

…"applying a break to the flywheel…". Do you not mean a "brake"?
is bhp of a engine is greater than hp pls explian
Yes, BHP would be greater than HP of the same motor/engine.
Dear sir..
As I know , In diesel engine Induced Horse Power (IHP) = Brake Horse Power (BHP) + Frictional Loss
HP is LESS than BHP.
Take the Bugatti Veyron, a much disputed example.
Its BHP figure, before any losses, is 1001.
Its HP figure, taking into account that the power must go through the gearbox etc is 987HP; If you were to apply the breaks at its top speed, they would only need to stop the power of 987BHP, because that is all that is being transferred to the road.
That means 14BHP has been lost during the process of transferring power to the ground, meaning a 98.6% efficiency rating.
Any questions? I hope not.
@Nodnarb, nicely explained.
Example of car: Bhp can be measured at the engine output and hp can be measured at wheel out put. (bhp-transmission loss =Hp).
HP is called as Indicated Horse Power i.e.IHP means the Horsepower actually deveploped at the engine shaft. BHP means Brake horse power i.e. power actully used by the engine to perform the work. BHP is always less than IHP. IHP.-BHP.=FHP.FHP means power wasted in Engine friction.,it is also called as Frictional Horsepower.
This article confuses more than it explains. A much simpler and arguably more accurate explanation would be:
– HP = measured on the wheel, i.e. the power a vehicle will transfer to the road.
– BHP = measured on the crankshaft, i.e. the power of the engine alone without any other components of a vehicle that "rob" the engine of power.
One is a measure with everyday practicality. The other makes sense to engineers only, but is often used as a marketing gimmick to confuse the general public because it's always higher.
Neither measure the maximum rate of acceleration and are very different from torque, a measure that is thrown into this article for no good reason.
"It can also be converted into British Thermal Units, or BTU, joules and calories."
uhhhhh, no.
That's like saying you could measure a cup of water in units of Niagara falls.
No conversion can take away the time portion of a unit of power without defining time.
Yes you can, you just get both the time it takes to do the job, and the energy needed, so if you have a timeframe, you can tell how much energy you need in cal. or Joules to get there, and since all work takes time, it's the same as to say that the work you do and the sallery you get has nothing to do with eachother, since it is relative to the time you use doing it, you can still measure your work in it, you just have to include the factor of time.
Ok Mr Bugatti, knowing that no engine runs at 100% efficiency and considering that no self respecting company would sell a mode of transport that would have 1/2 hp to every bhp. My question is this, what is a reasonable % efficiency rating that I could use as a rule of thumb for figuring the hp or bhp when the other is given?
And is there a slope involved that I could factor size of engine or other notable variables?
Bottom line question- what is the formula for the hp and bhp?
I'll try google bhp-hp to see if I get anywhere.
Ps: for those who want to correct me, my autocorrect already beat me up
One very very important thing that has not been mentioned in this article is that horsepower has a different definition depending on where you are. A metric horsepower is 98.6% of the Imperial mechanical horsepower. I'm only mentioning this because the difference of bhp and hp is in the same category and sometimes car manufacturers use different definition of hp depending on where the engine came from.
Everyone, including the original writer of the article, who has passed comments on this page (except for Billy) is an idiot!
Yes, do try the Wikipedia article…

The competition for the new Chelsea Clock Seafarer Trophy will be hot. Trophies will be awarded in each division to the boat with the best combined results in the 2012 Bermuda race and the 2013 Annapolis-Newport Race. There are already nineteen entries that also sailed the Newport to Bermuda race last year. Below is the trophy and the scoring that will be used to select the winner in each of the Annapolis-Newport race divisions.
Chelsea Clock Seafarer Trophy
A keeper trophy, crafted by Chelsea Clock, will be awarded for each division sailing in the 2013 Annapolis-Newport Race (IRC, PHRF, D-H, Cruiser) to a boat and captain that also sailed the 2012 Newport-Bermuda Race. The award will be based on the combined performance in their class in each race. Boats that sailed IRC in both races will be scored using their IRC results in both races. Boats that sail PHRF in Annapolis-Newport will be scored using their ORR results in Newport Bermuda. Scoring will be low point normalized for class size. The formula will be: Score = (100 x N2B class position / number in N2B class) + (100 x A2N class position / number in A2N class).
The Chelsea Clock Seafarer Trophy, shown left, designed as a perpetual trophy for display at the Annapolis Yacht Club, is a special edition of the company's famed Mariner clock, first patented and produced by Chelsea in 1911.
Considered one of the finest nautically-inspired clocks ever made in this country, the Mariner is a true masterpiece of American clock making. The Seafarer Trophy features Chelsea Clock's renowned chiming Ship's Bell mechanism. The clock's dial is painstakingly crafted of deeply etched brass that is hand silvered and enameled. The wood base and back are crafted of solid mahogany, while the wheel's ring and base are finished using a proprietary hand-rubbed copper bronze-finishing process. The Chelsea Clock Seafarer Trophy measures an impressive 17 ½ inches high and weighs thirty-three pounds.

Back to the ballot in Maine?
June 28, 2011
By Adam Bink
I received this e-mail yesterday from Equality Maine:
Dear Adam,
By now, you've heard the inspiring news — our friends in New York have won the freedom to marry!
Congratulations to the coalition in New York that worked to secure this victory. EqualityMaine was proud to support this effort by mobilizing our volunteers to contact New Yorkers and urge them to call their legislators in support of the marriage bill.
This important victory in New York generates wind in the sails of the national movement to win marriage, and more specifically, of our efforts here in Maine.
Let the celebration of what New York achieved serve as a reminder that our movement is strong — and that state-by-state, we will win the freedom to marry for all Americans.
To that end, stay tuned later this week for an important announcement about winning marriage in Maine.
Word has it that advocates are expected to announce signature-gathering efforts (they need 57,000) to go back to the ballot in Maine to overturn the 2009 decision, which invalidated the law legalizing marriage equality for same-sex couples. The signature-gathering is not likely to be the toughest part, but rather the financial effort and actually winning at the ballot.

Oh no! I hope this mystery announcement won't force me to consume a celebratory lobster.
8. grod | June 28, 2011 at 11:36 am
@ dsc77 I will follow the announcement with interest. In 2009, Equality lost by 32,000 votes, having 268,000 supporters. No doubt Equality Maine better understands what could been done differently. Perhaps, the Catholic Church and NOM would not be so influential a second time, as was seen in NY. Because of NOM's refusal to comply with Maine's Commission on Government Ethics and Election Practices guidelines, maybe they will not be permitted to be a player. G

While I would normally agree, Ann, the fact that ID collapses replies & stops emailing comments after a certain maximum number of comments makes me "vote" on the side of keeping many posts. Also, until the emailed comments again give the context of any replies, with separate posts it's easier to figure out what a given emailed comment refers to.
12. Bill S. | June 28, 2011 at 11:43 am
Hopefully they'll use libertarian language in the ballot measure. Liberals already know why same-sex couples deserve equal protection, so the ballot language should reflect the conservative principals of small government. Something like: "The right to enter into a civil marriage shall not be denied or abridged by the government on account of sex."
It should also include some sort of a religious exemption clause for good PR.
13. dsc77 | June 28, 2011 at 11:43 am
If it were, they would just funnel the money into other organizations, such as ProtectMarriage and Yes on 1, etc. I believe.
I never really did hear what became of the Maine court's slapdown of NOM's funding and lack of reporting.
14. Nyx | June 28, 2011 at 11:44 am
In other news….
Tomorrow in Trenton NJ Garden State Equality and Lambda Legal will have a news conference announcing the next major step to win marriage equality in New Jersey.
15. dsc77 | June 28, 2011 at 11:46 am
In fact the bill that our former governor (the first in the country to sign such a bill into law!) was titled "An Act To End Discrimination in Civil Marriage and Affirm Religious Freedom." We did provide exemption for churches, as well as there should be, in my opinion.
16. James Sweet | June 28, 2011 at 11:46 am
It's probably a strategic mistake to go back to the ballot box so soon… but who knows, they might have a shot. I'd just worry that they'd get a lot of retaliatory "Not this again!" votes.
17. Sheryl_Carver | June 28, 2011 at 11:48 am
Excellent points, Bill.
The religious exemptions in the NY law seemed to be the key that allowed enough Republicans to justify voting for it, even though I've read that those exemptions were already covered by existing law. While the purist in me dislikes unnecessary redundancy, if that's what it takes to make people feel safe while ensuring we have equal civil rights, I'm OK with it.
18. Ann S. | June 28, 2011 at 11:55 am
Sheryl, those are good points.
19. dsc77 | June 28, 2011 at 11:57 am
Correct-it was in 2009 and it while we had record turnout, we could have done better.
There is another issue in this mix, now-the Republican led legislature passed a law that was signed by our TEA party backed Governor Paul LePage that will stop same-day voter registration. That affects democrats more than republicans and is now the law. We did push the same-day registration when talking to students and other young people and it worked pretty well. It used to be really easy to vote here and we had one of the highest voter turn-out rates with extremely few reported voter fraud cases. Oh, well, just have to work harder….

We could try "Really?? Gay marriage will turn children gay? Then how is it that thousands of years of straight marriage has not turned all children straight?"
(Sorry, I know that is not helpful, but I am still kind of giddy.)

most likely this will be a lawsuit filed to the state courts, and it will be perfect because theres lots of evidence showing civil unions are not equal

24. Sheryl_Carver | June 28, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Love that line, AnonyGrl! Actually, it makes an excellent rebuttal sound bite. And since NOM et al likes to campaign with sound bites (don't have to come up with rational foundations for their position that way), this is perfect!
25. Martin Pal | June 28, 2011 at 12:15 pm
B.) And convicted murderers are allowed to marry while serving life sentences. Like Richard Ramirez, the Hillside strangler did. Or the Menendez brothers did–they murdered their parents. Committed law abiding gay couples are not. Convicted mass murderers, killers, and rapists have more rights than I do. Are people who vote against marriage equality comfortable with siding with convicted murderers and felons over law-abiding citizens?

Would you mind replying to your previous post, instead of starting a separate thread, when posting something in multiple parts? Starting three separate threads means that any replies go in between the parts and make it hard to read all together. And there's a chance that somebody else could start a different thread between your parts. Also, if we get >100 replies on a post, your three comments would collapse to one of you port them as replies.
29. Justinn | June 28, 2011 at 12:58 pm
So, this may be an ignorant question, but…
Why has no one legally challenged the voter ban of gay marriage in Maine?
30. dsc77 | June 28, 2011 at 1:25 pm
Unfortunately this is not an issue. They are still men who want to marry women and that is the main point. Convicted murderers? As long as they're straight. I wonder, though, what they think about abortionists of opposite sexes marrying each other…..
31. dsc77 | June 28, 2011 at 1:27 pm
That's a interesting point…. But they said that the games don't cause violence. Watching it is okay. At the same time, there are accounts of violent negative reactions to court proceedings.
32. dsc77 | June 28, 2011 at 1:29 pm
The vote didn't ban same-sex marriage; rather it rejected the law that allowed it.
Dave in Maine
33. PoxyHowzes | June 28, 2011 at 1:34 pm
IANAL, but part of the Olsen/Boies argument was that CA had for a time allowed ssm, then allowed those couples to stay married after the "ban," thus creating multiple classes of citizen for no legally-defendable reason. A right in CA was taken away.
ME never has had ssm to take away — the voters "simply" second-guessed the legislature and (then) Gov. Technically, they (voters) prevented the "granting" of a right.
That may be part of the reason.
34. Alan_Eckert | June 28, 2011 at 1:43 pm
Neither can we nor our funds.
35. Alan_Eckert | June 28, 2011 at 1:44 pm
see Dave in Maine's response below, but this process is a normal part of Maine's referendum process.
36. Sheryl_Carver | June 28, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Excerpt from the above:
A longitudinal study that tracked 430 3rd through 5th grade American children found
a correlation between violent video game play and aggressive behavior at school (Gen-
tile, 2005). This study controlled for prior aggression, and used teacher and peer rat-
ings of aggression as the dependent measure. By measuring the students at the begin-
ning and end of the school year, they were able to determine that those children who
played more violent games early in the school year became more aggressive later in
the school year. In addition to developing more aggressive behavior themselves, chil-
dren exposed to repeated virtual violence via video games can become desensitized to
real world violence. In fact, exposure to video game violence, even for just 20 minutes,
was found to cause children to experience dramatically reduced physiological arousal
to real violence (Carnagey et al., 2007). In other words, violence began to feel like a
normal state of affairs and ceased to be upsetting.
37. David Henderson | June 28, 2011 at 1:56 pm
I've always been puzzled by the claim that allowing same-day voter registration benefits Democratic voters more than Republican voters. It seems to me that last-minute registration, or the lack thereof, is something that should affect people across the political spectrum equally.
Have there been studies to verify that claim? If so, what did those studies find as the reasons for the disparity? Was it that Republican voters tended to plan ahead better than Democratic voters? Were Democratic voters more apathetic than Republicans in the voting process? Did Democratic voters tend to only register because somebody offered drove them to the poll, while Republican voters were more motivated to vote?

With all due respect, the issue of the government forbidding the sale of "violent" video games to minors (and thus taking this decision-making process out of the hands of privately run stores, and most importantly, parents) is completely irrelevant to the right of same-sex couples to marry.
It's a false analogy and a red herring argument.
39. Bill S. | June 28, 2011 at 2:03 pm
Just out of curiosity, what does the makeup of Maine's Supreme Court look like? There must be a reason why a state-level lawsuit on equal protection grounds has never been attempted.
40. Phillip R | June 28, 2011 at 2:07 pm
I'll admit that I don't know much of what happened in Maine but I guess my question would be what's changed since then to think that a vote at the ballot would be successful? It wasn't that long ago.

It's my understanding that there's no voter initiative system in New York — or at least not one like California's.

no , New York has no voter referendum
43. Phillip R | June 28, 2011 at 2:21 pm
The problem with the ban is that game stores would just stop carrying them completely and avoid the liability. Also, I think it should be left up to the parents to monitor their children. Much like it already is done with TV programs, movies, etc.

There *are* exemptions for churches … it's called the 1st Amendment. I'm not one for redundancy in law, to be honest — but if that's what it takes for the religious zealots to get over themselves, so be it.
47. dsc77 | June 28, 2011 at 2:49 pm
I think that it is a perception with maybe some truth. I don't know if any studies were cited during the discussion of this same-day registration bill and the other bill that would require ID to vote, but people do believe that perception. I think that it's generally true that older and more conservative voters are less transient and more likely to prepare ahead of time and register long before election day. Younger people are viewed as more transient (flakey?) and might actually wait until election day to register and vote because they can. I don't think, though, that this would mean that they would wait until the last day to register to actually register.
The actual reasons for this law that the sponsor cited were voter fraud (not an issue) and that such registration is too much work for the town offices (it's their job).
But we DO know that almost 70,000 people registered on election day during the last two general elections (http://bangordailynews.com/2011/06/21/politics/same-day-voter-registration-banned-but-critics-vow-to-fight/).

And not just the zealots. I've spoken to many people in my canvassing who are regular church goers (mostly French Catholic) and don't know any gays and only hear what the other church people tell them. I can see how easy it is to believe that the gays will sue the Church if they can't have a wedding there just as they sued the florist and the baker or whatever story we've heard. But some of the people I've spoken to we glad to know that the protections are part of the law. At the same time, since it is clearly spelled out in the law, it's less likely that someone WOULD sue the church for discriminating in a church ceremony (and people need to know that when churches make their facilities available to the public, THEN they are not necessarily covered by these exemptions).

Yeah, I don't know how that got separated! Thanks!
We will be mounting a people's veto to reject the new law that stops same day registration. We (though not really the same crowd) used the people's veto to stop a new beverage tax in 2008. This veto does come in handy….

Outside of Japan there are no video games that feature rape. Please don't use enemy "arguments"
There is also curious distinction in America between sex and violence. If this had been about sex in games, the result would have been different. It was about violence, though, and killing people has always been ok in media
53. Steve | June 28, 2011 at 3:31 pm
There is actually one point in the court's opinion that applies to same-sex marriage:
The "think of the children!" argument.
"No doubt a State possesses legitimate power to protect children from harm, but that does not include a free-floating power to restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed. "Speech that is neither obscene as to youths nor subject to some other legitimate proscription cannot be suppressed solely to protect the young from ideas or images that a legislative body thinksunsuitable for them."
54. dsc77 | June 28, 2011 at 4:23 pm
No, but we are forgetting the NOM 4-Year Plan!!!
(Interesting that it sounds so easy! As if 1-the people of New York will care in 2012 and 2-the people will care in 2013 and 3- the people will care in 2014 and 4-the people will care in 2015. Also, it's well on its way to reversal in New Hampshire and Iowa? That's news!)
This just in from B. S. Brown: …..
We're putting together a 4-year campaign strategy that will reverse same-sex marriage in New York. We'll have many more details, and ways for you to get involved, in the days ahead but the overall plan will have three phases:
Elect pro-marriage majorities next November that will approve a marriage amendment in both the Assembly and Senate during the 2013 legislative session.
Protect pro-marriage candidates in the 2014 elections, so that the amendment can receive final legislative approval in the 2015 legislative session.
Successfully pass the ballot measure when it goes before voters in November 2015.
A 4-year process seems like a long time—and it is—but it's achievable. In New Hampshire and Iowa, they've had same-sex marriage for just 2 years, but are already well on the way to reversal. The key to success is electing legislative majorities who will answer to the people of their state, and not to special interests.

Subscribing &…..
Good As You points out two more "Moral" um "protect" marriage supporters with an affinity for violence towards LGBT people….but this time the word "extermination" is actually used by one while the other has a pretty thorough plan that includes a meat trailer & the Hudson river. These were comments on the Wall Street Journal's Metropolis blog……
I think the commentary said it correctly….. "HOLY SH*T SOME PEOPLE HATE US!"
These sociopaths are enabled by those like Brian Brown, Timothy Dolan, Ruben Diaz, Maggie Gallagher etc. who go on the air & appear in print demonizing/dehumanizing LGBT people….they give the murderers & bashers the ammunition they need to hurt innocent people, it fuels them…..

59. Waxr | June 28, 2011 at 5:16 pm
What the religious protections in the New York Marriage Equality Act left unclear is cases in which the religious body is receiving state money to perform what would otherwise be a state duty. This arose in Washington D.C. where the Catholic Church was running an adopting agency with taxpayers money. The Catholic Church opted to shut down its adoption agency rather than provide services for same sex married couples. The New York law looks as if the Catholic Church may be able to continue to receive taxpayers money while refusing to provide the service for single sex married couples. How you read it can make a difference.
60. Waxr | June 28, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Many young voters will be voting for the first time and have never registered before, or know where to go to register. A recent Gallop poll indicates that 70 percent of those between 18 and 34 support same sex marriage.

All right Prop 8 bloggers…here we go! I am from Maine. I, like all of you, experienced the rush of an apparent win for marriage equality in Maine. I, like all of you, came soon to understand that the defeat was due to incredible scare tactics superimposed by NOM and the Catholic Diocese of Maine on the less educated and the elderly. No matter that our very own Sec. of Education and Sec. of State said that there would be no influence on the teaching of gay sex to our kids. And as a veteran teacher of 35 years, I knew that no such teaching ever has taken place. So, here tonight, I pledge $100.00 to Equality Maine. I challenge all of you to join in this campaign. The signs are right, the polls are in our favor; I truly believe Maine citizens now realize that they were blind-sided by lies and innuendo. Let's send the Catholic Diocese of Maine and NOM a resounding message: you can't win with lies! I PLEDGE $100.00 TO EQUALITY MAINE TO DEFEAT NOM, THE CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF MAINE AND ALL WHO ARE HOMOPHOBIC WITH TRUTH, EQUALITY AND THE POWER OF CIVIL RIGHTS.
63. Waxr | June 28, 2011 at 6:13 pm
It's her decision. They can always find somebody else to do the job. A more serious problem is, how would a couple who are already married get her name taken off of their license?
64. Martin Pal | June 28, 2011 at 6:20 pm
Legally, yes, but I've found it to be useful to bring up when discussing this with those who don't think I should get married. I ask them why they feel my relationship isn't as worthy as people like that. It does get to some of them and make them wonder why.
65. Rich | June 28, 2011 at 6:22 pm
In Maine, the citizens are absolutely ready for a retake on Marriage Equality. Will there be blowback? Absolutely. But NOM and the Catholic Diocese of Maine (aka Marc Mutty) are terribly sullied and stuck with the imprimatur of hate, bigotry and lies. In addition to that, we have a tremendously unpopular Governor…you know him: "kiss my butt" ( to the local NAACP ) Paul LePage. The good citizens of Maine now know that, as a state, we sullied ourselves. The blowback will come from fundamentalist christians but they have worn thin their credibility. In just two years there has been a sea-change in attitude about marriage equality. In the State of Maine, a "Sea-Change" means all the difference between bringing in a good catch or coming home empty. As I gaze out upon the ocean, I see plenty of fish a' jumpin'.
66. Bstiles | June 28, 2011 at 6:36 pm
When my wife and I decided to get married (in CA) she was actually worried about our names being public record because of psychos like that. I think there was a 'not so public' version that we could have gone with. But we decided to go "public" with our relationship.

Does anybody know how long it will take for this New Jersey lawsuit to get to the state supreme court?
68. Waxr | June 28, 2011 at 8:39 pm
In Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1 (1947) the U.S. Supreme Court wrote:
"The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertain- [330 U.S. 1, 16] ing or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever from they may adopt to teach or practice religion. Neither a state nor the Federal Government can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups and vice versa."
And in ENGEL v. VITALE, 370 U.S. 421 (1962), the Court added:
"There can be no doubt that New York's state prayer program officially establishes the religious beliefs embodied in the Regents' prayer. The respondents' argument to the contrary, which is largely based upon the contention that the Regents' prayer is "non-denominational" and the fact that the program, as modified and approved by state courts, does not require all pupils to recite the prayer but permits those who wish to do so to remain silent or be excused from the room, ignores the essential nature of the program's constitutional defects. Neither the fact that the prayer may be denominationally neutral nor the fact that its observance on the part of the students is voluntary can serve to free it from the limitations of the Establishment Clause, as it might from the Free Exercise Clause, of the First Amendment, both of which are operative against the States by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment. Although these two clauses may in certain instances overlap, they forbid two quite different kinds of governmental encroachment upon religious freedom. The Establishment Clause, unlike the Free Exercise Clause, does not depend upon any showing of direct governmental compulsion and is violated by the enactment of laws which establish an official religion whether those laws operate directly to coerce nonobserving individuals or not. This is not to say, of course, that laws officially prescribing a particular form of religious worship do not involve coercion of such individuals. When the power, prestige and financial support of government is placed behind a particular religious belief, the indirect coercive pressure upon religious minorities to conform to the prevailing officially approved religion is plain."

I don't have an answer to that but a follow up point. Chris Christie already fired one Supreme Court justice for voting for SSM when this came up in 2006 and he basically 'threatened' the other three that are up for renomination during his reign. (that is, he never said it publicly but its been implied and inferred by the Newark Star Ledger). One of Christie's nominations (and his neighbor) just got approved to join the court in September so who do you think she's beholden too? She's replacing a Democratically appointed judge. The other judge who was fired, has yet to be replaced, there's a temp justice in the seat.
71. Steve | June 29, 2011 at 6:36 am
It's a BS argument and a typical case of faux moral outrage
There is no huge market for such games in the West. Period. It's a tiny niche at best. And people who are interested in sex games (which for the most part aren't about rape anyways) usually buy them online or rather pirate them.
72. Steve | June 29, 2011 at 6:45 am
It's really one the greatest flaws in the entire system. The idea of an independent judiciary directly conflicts with having it appointed along party lines. You'd think that this would have been obvious to the writers of the Constitution.
Judges shouldn't be appointed by the President or Governors, but selected by some kind of independent commission or committee. Then both chambers of the parliament should be involved in their confirmation.
73. Rich | June 29, 2011 at 7:11 am
Phillip, the campaign leading up to the vote was incredibly divisive and full of ugly accusations. While I'm sure that certain individuals (pro-ssm) hurled some ugly stuff in e-mails to the Church, on the surface the Equality Maine campaign stressed fair-play, committed relationships and…Equality through a series of beautiful ads. The opposition (NOM and the Church) spewed scare tactics (gay sex taught in schools was the biggest) to frighten the electorate. The day following the vote, the indications from so many opinion letters (and now seen in recent polls) was that Maine woke up feeling disgusted with itself. NOM and the Church had pitted Mainers against Mainers in ways we had never seen before. The sting is still there which is why I think it's timely to capitalize on this feeling before it gets lost in time. And, as stated previously, the Governor is hugely unpopular, Marc Mutty of the Church admitted the lies they used and already NOM has a black eye with its hiding of donors. Finally, every major newspaper in the state came out in support of Marriage Equality. I'd like to see us bring them on board again as they know how close this vote was, too close and divisive to leave alone. Just some thoughts.

Sorry, not-that-Dave! And thanks for the reply.
I think the 2009 mix in ME (as I've read about it) included some quiet French Catholic voters who didn't show up proportionately in the polls, but who pulled the "NO" lever as soon as they got into the voting booth. That doesn't account, to me, for the disappointing numbers in Portland and Orono (as I recall) and such other hotbeds of progressivity as Maine has. (I think we all expected "Mr. Potato Head" to vote against.)
I think you guys need some good (no, some GREAT!) political analysis before you go back to the ballot. You need to *know* that the NOM-side same-old same-old won't work, because the consequences of losing again, for the second straight time, are much worse (in my humble Marylander opinion) than delaying the vote for another cycle.

Demi Lovato is in mourning. As Us Weekly reported on June 23, the "Made in the USA" singer's biological father, Patrick Lovato, died at the age of 54, and Demi, who was estranged from him at this time of his passing, is doing her best to smile amid the sadness. Appearing on "Good Morning America" on Thursday, the "X Factor" judge opened up about how she's coping with the tragic news.
"I'm handling it OK," Demi, 20, said. "My father and I didn't have the most ideal relationship, but at the end of the day he's still my dad. I grew up with him and he's a wonderful person, but I'm handling it OK. It's difficult, but I'm handling it OK."
As hard as it was, the former Disney star is trying to find some good in the painful situation. "I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason," Demi said. "My father dealt with mental illnesses, and he wasn't able to function in society and that happens to a lot of people."
PHOTOS: Demi through the years
So in a tribute to her late father, Lovato has launched the Lovato Treatment Scholarship Program, which will help pay for treatment expenses at Cast Recovery for someone in need.
Besides focusing on the new program, Demi says she's been leaning on her dedicated fans to help her get through this tough time. "It's been a really rough week, but I've had incredible support from them and they can help me get through anything," she explained.
On June 24, the singer posted a picture of herself and her dad in a car, writing, "RIP Daddy. I love you. Love, your little partner." A day earlier, she also thanked everyone for the outpouring of support. "I feel so humbled to have had so much support from my fans, friends, family and complete strangers. God bless you all, thank you so much," she wrote on June 23.

This time we feature Deiz, one of the more recent contributors to join the team, but also one of the more productive recently. He's mostly been working on tons of smaller things that together have improved the game enormously, for example he's made improvements to walls and gates, the in-game chat, added the ability to resign and improved that, and a lot more. So, without further ado, let's get to the interview:
Tell us a bit about yourself?
I've been dabbling in free, open-source game development for the last four years or so. The main project I contribute to is Naev, a game similar to Escape Velocity (a series which many old-school Apple users ought to know), though 0 A.D. has usurped my free time as of late.
It's a much smaller project than 0 A.D., so although I'm primarily a programmer, I've ended up doing a little bit of everything along the way, from sound to art to web design.
What have you found most interesting about contributing to 0 A.D.?
The development team itself. Given my past experience, 0 A.D.'s development model isn't unfamiliar to me. What's new, though, is the team size. I'm used to working with a handful of other core contributors, where everybody knows what everyone else is up to, and adding a feature generally means implementing it yourself.
With 0 A.D., it's refreshing to work with a team numbering in the dozens. There's progress from others to be observed every day (whether through the SVN commit log, on the forums, or in the IRC channels). Not to mention the delightful laziness factor: It's sometimes nice to be able to file a ticket and rely on another contributor coming along, sooner or later, and fixing the issue.
Anything you want to add?
I'm really impressed by how quickly 0 A.D. has progressed. I remember hearing of it around the time of the initial source release, and finally ended up playing one of the early pre-alpha releases. As I recall, the game was extremely sparse at the time — It had nice visuals, but was missing AI support, multiplayer, and a host of other critical features.
I rediscovered 0 A.D. some four months ago, and was floored by how far the game has come over the last two years, especially for being a wholly volunteer-driven project. It speaks to an active, healthy developer community, which is largely what spurred me to becoming a contributor.

These words are music to my ears. So great to hear this from a new(-ish) contributor.
Two years ago we were afraid what might happen if key contributors would disappear but now we seem to have built a more durable system of development.
