Tulane Head Coach Lisa Stockton
Opening Statement
"First of all I think Tulsa did a tremendous job. I thought they were really aggressive. In the last five or six minutes, they did a really good job of getting to the free throw line, attacking the basket and making their free throws. I'm very disappointed in our defense. I thought there were a lot of really good things we did today. We out-rebounded (Tulsa), we didn't turn the ball over a lot, and then just really did a bad job of playing defense."
On the opportunity to perhaps play in the postseason
"We feel pretty confident that we'll have another opportunity to play. I feel so bad for our seniors. I thought of Olivia Grayson, who gave everything she had today and this game was so important for her. I'm disappointed for her. I think that we go into next week and we take on whatever we've got and it's been a great season and we just need to make the most of it."
Tulsa Head Coach Matilda Mossman
Opening Statement
"It's fun being the coach at Tulsa right now. It's fun to coach people like Taleya Mayberry and Tiffani Couisnard. We have talked with these guys a lot about leaving a program better than you found it and them leaving a legacy. That game was them wanting to leave a legacy.
"We had to fight, fight really hard, especially in the first half. Tulane was really, really good. They rebounded like crazy but we came back out in the second half and fought. This team played with a lot of heart, a lot of passion and played like we wanted to keep playing."
On second half spurt
"It better to have a second-half spurt than a first-half... I think it comes down to rebounding and moving in transition. They (Tulane) were stuck on 44 for a really long time and we weren't gaining a lot of ground, but enough. We were able to get enough rebounds at the end to hold on."
On emotions of the game
"I never felt like we lost control of the game, even when we were down 11. We just needed to keep fighting. In the first half I felt we weren't getting loose ball but in the second half I thought we did a better job."
On team balance today
"We had four people in double figures. Mariah Turner and Kadan Brady came off the bench to score in double figures. Taleya and Tiffani were in double figures. This goes back to us really playing well together as a team."
Tulsa Senior Taleya Mayberry
Where's that fight coming from
"It's been there for a long time and now that we've got an opportunity to win that first round game it just provided us with more fuel and momentum into the next game.
On leaving a legacy
At the beginning of the game coach told us it's all about leaving a program better than you found it. One thing me and Tiff (Couisnard) keyed on is to leave it better and something for the future to feed off of is what we're aiming for. This is by far the best year I've ever had and I'm just ready to play some more game."

Incisional Hernias
Incisional Hernias - Diagnosis
Incisional hernia is a clinical diagnosis and tests are seldom required to further substantiate the diagnosis.
Reviewing the patient's symptoms and medical history are important in establishing the diagnosis of incisional hernia.
Detailed case records, of prior surgeries, is required with emphasis on postoperative period.
The surgeon should establish the amount of pain or discomfort the patient is experiencing and if it has grown in size since it was first noticed.
The hernial area is touched (palpated) to feel for any abnormal lump and if it increases in size when the patient coughs or strains or when they bend.
If in doubt about the diagnosis - radiological tests such as an ultrasound examination or in a complex case a computed tomography (CT) may be performed. This will tell the surgeon the extent of the hernia and the contents in the bulge.

I did express my concerns to my surgeon but there was no recommendation. Also I was told that if you could have a Cosmetic Surgeon join in with your Surgeon you may have much better results. Is this true?

Good old Texas, where I grew up. You can always count on the Lone Star State to do things with an in-your-face swagger. This time it's the audacious rewriting of history by conservatives on the Board of Education, which sets the curriculum for the state's schools.Texas schools buy so many textbooks that the book publishers often write textbooks to Texas' standards, however outrageous or deranged those standards might be. Those texts, alas, are bought, not just by Texas schools, but by by school districts around the country.
As the state has veered politically to the right, so has the elected Board of Education. Modesty is not an admired quality in Texas, where citizens are raised on triumphal notions of Texas exceptionalism. In Waco, where I spent my youth, a fiery Southern Baptist religious fervor is part of the air one breathes. Combine that with the pervasive attitude reflected in the state's unofficial motto, "Don't Mess with Texas," and you get an aggressive polticial/religious conservatism. So it's not a surprise that the Board of Education's right wingers were only too willing to rewrite history according to their own lights, colored by religious and political bias as they may be.
Texas students will be taught, for example, that the Founding Fathers really didn't believe in separation of church and state. This is a curious stance, because they will also be taught that Thomas Jefferson wasn't one of the inspirations for other 18th century revolutions. He's not well-liked by the conservatives, because he coined the phrase "separation of church and state." These are only two of the more than 100 curriculum changes made in service to an abridged history that stresses Christianity, capitalism and the influence of conservative ideology in our history. None of the board members, by the way, is an historian.
The only good news in all this is that, thanks to technological changes in the publishing industry, it's now easier and less expensive to publish multiple editions of textbooks for different markets, lessening the national impact somewhat. That doesn't help the poor students of Texas, who will be indoctrinated of with a bizarrely warped view of this nation's history.

Marine refuses plea in NY gun case
OORAH he may just be the hero to shoot down the illegal NY gun laws! :up:

Marine refuses plea in NY gun case
OORAH he may just be the hero to shoot down the illegal NY gun laws! :up:
Illegal NY gun laws?
Unfortunately, at present, NY's laws, while certainly Draconian, are not illegal. With luck, this case will get to define them as illegal (unconstitutional), but they are not presently.
At this point, I am thinking we just cut our losses and consider selling New York City back to the Native Americans for a handful of wampum.
That or release about 10,000 screaming Marines on the city and see if maybe they can change their stupid gun laws.
Either works just fine for this Texas.
What did they mean by registered? Where is the registration? He should not have gone to the Empire State building while carrying. If he was there for work I agree he needed to protect himself and the $15,000.00 in jewelry. Once you go site seeing that changes the situation.
Another story from a rag mag.
They do have stupid gun laws there. No reason for me to ever go there.
Jerome screwed up.
"Before coming to New York, Jerome had looked at a website that described which states he could legally bring his gun to -- but was confused by how the columns were formatted on his screen and sincerely believed that his Indiana license was sufficient here."
Ignorance is no excuse. I realize his mistake was unintentional but you shouldn't "be confused" when it comes to carrying a gun around. Especially the Empire State building. Come on man...use your head or ask someone.
Option 1 leave post haste.
Option 2 retreat to a close by gun friendly state, drop off gun and return for the tour.
None of these are realistic options PERIOD, and thanks for the correction, unconstitutional draconian NY gun laws, hence illegal gun laws, are only good until challenged in a proper venue.
We the people of the US trusted this Marine with far more dangerous weapons than a hand gun, and now NY has seen fit to charge him as a common criminal for nohthing more henious than wanting to stay alive in the murder rape capital of the NE. Go after the true criminal like Bloomburg.
I wish him luck. Although stupidity is no excuse in violating this stupid law.
I wonder if bloomturds army of private security has to declare their weapons.... oh wait, he is a king not a peasant and lives by a different set of rules.
I have served as a Police Officer in the Commonwealth of Virginia for over 17 years and I could never be a Cop in a Place like Libtard New York City. No way are any of their gun laws Constitutional.
What everyone has to remember, is that as of now, it has been ruled by SCOTUS that states can apply "reasonable" restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, and that they have not yet declared that we have a constitutional right to carry those arms concealed.
Many states have permit systems that prohibit out of staters or enters reciprocity agreements with select few other states. If this were a state that had a permit system, but did not honor the IN permit, and this guy carried there and got busted would we be singing the same tune? If I carried in MN with my IA permit, I would be doing so illegally. Where is the outrage against MN?
He carried in a state that does not honor his permit. Illegally, which is within the parameters of SCOTUS rulings regarding the right to keep and bear arms. PERIOD.
As for "We the people of the US trusted this Marine with far more dangerous weapons than a hand gun" I get sick and tired of seeing this argument. We the people of the US trust Marines with far more dangerous weapons than a handgun...when on the range, and in theater. Stateside we weren't trusted with a knife greater than 3" in a barracks room or a glass bottle of orange juice for that matter. Where's the outrage over that?
Are NY gun laws "wrong"? Yes, but claiming ignorance of those laws as a defense is just as wrong.
I can't see how pleading not guilty of this when he clearly was is going to pan out in his favor...

College Hockey:Tigers edge Colonials, 4-3
Brenner's late goal downs Robert Morris
PITTSBURGH — The Rochester Institute of Technology extended their conference winning streak to four games and firmly established their grasp on the top spot in the standings with hard fought 4-3 win over Robert Morris in a game played at the Pittsburgh Penguin's Consol Energy Center Thursday night.
The Tigers got two goals from junior forward Tyler Brenner including the game winner late in the third period and goaltender Shane Madolora remained unbeaten this season by stopping 32 Colonial shots in the win, played in front of 6,957 fans.
"It didn't feel like a first-place type of game tonight" RIT head coach Wayne Wilson said. "I thought our special teams did not play great tonight, but we got goals when we needed them."
The pregame buzz and excitement surrounding the contest wore off very quickly after the drop of the puck, with both teams attempting to get a feel for the flow of the game, but the Tigers acclimated much more quickly to hockey after the holiday break and was the more prepared side early on.
The Tigers got on the board at the 4:57 mark of the first when forward Cameron Burt jumped on a rebound left in the slot, and pushed it past Colonial net minder Brooks Ostergard. The Tigers refused to be content up by the early lead, as they mounted an early shot and territory advantage. The Tigers also dictated the style of play, and kept the Colonials bottled up for most of the first period, causing numerous icings as well.
Brenner put the Tigers up by a pair at 11:28 of the first by slicing his way through the Colonial defense and then beating Ostergard with a wrister, but the goal didn't deflate the RMU side much at all. The Colonials had developed a reputation as a team that can climb out of holes so far this season, and they found themselves in another tight spot.
Colonial forward Furman South slashed the Tiger lead in half when he blew a one timer from a perfect James Lyle pass past Madolora at 14:28 of the first, on RMU's third power play of the game, it was South's fifth goal of the season.
Any momentum from the goal was almost short lived though, as just a minute later, RIT appeared to score their third goal with a deflection by Adam Mitchell. However, the goal was deemed touched by a high stick and subsequently disallowed. The Colonials then sent traffic to the front of the Tiger net, and forward Joseph Harcharik tipped a shot that beat Madolora at 17:42.
The scoring frenzy then came to an end in the second frame as the pace slowed and the scoring chances diminished. The Tigers kept controlling the play though, and while they couldn't score as often as they liked, their fore-check stole valuable time and opportunities away from the Colonials. Then at the 15:03 mark, Mitchell put the Tigers back in the drivers' seat with a rising shot from the left circle that whistled past Ostergard.
In the third period the Colonials wasted little time drawing even, using a power play from an RIT penalty assessed at the end of the 2nd period, Colonial forward Trevor Lews knocked in a rebound off Adam Brace's original shot just barely a minute into the final frame. For the remainder of the third, the team's traded chances at a conservative pace, but with much more energy and passion, the intensity ratcheted up a notch.
And then, a seemingly harmless shot from Tyler Brenner squeezed through Ostergard at 18:41 of the third, giving the Tigers the go ahead tally with his 9th goal of the year. The Colonials couldn't muster another comeback in the final minute and 19 seconds, and at the end of 60 minutes, the Tigers found themselves all alone atop Atlantic Hockey with games in hand as well.
"I think for two periods, we were still on Christmas break" Colonial head coach Derek Schooley stated in post game. "I give a lot of credit to RIT. They came out with a lot of energy, enthusiasm and passion. They (RIT) came in and used their size to their advantage."
RIT (10-7-2) will next host Merrimack on Saturday, while RMU (12-5-2) will travel to North Dakota for games on January 8 and 9.

The Portrait of a Lady
by Henry James
The Portrait of a Lady Identity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"I don't agree with you. I think just the other way. I don't know whether I succeed in expressing myself, but I know that nothing else expresses me. Nothing that belongs to me is any measure of me; everything's on the contrary a limit, a barrier, and a perfectly arbitrary one. Certainly the clothes which, as you say, I choose to wear, don't express me; and heaven forbid they should!" (19.17)
Here, Isabel argues with Madame Merle, showing the essential difference between them – Madame Merle believes in the importance of outward show and appearance (under which anything can hide), while Isabel believes that people can only express their own individual identities, regardless of everything they try to show on the outside.
Quote #5
"Take things more easily. Don't ask yourself so much whether this or that is good for you. Don't question your conscience so much – it will get out of tune like a strummed piano. Keep it for great occasions. Don't try so much to form your character – it's like trying to pull open a tight, tender young rose. Live as you like best, and your character will take care of itself." (21.7)
Ralph, with his eternal wisdom, attempts to get Isabel to just relax and go with the flow; he hopes that she'll let go and allow herself to develop without being so hard on herself.
Quote #6
Isabel was the attraction, and in all conscience a sufficient one. Osmond was a critic, a student of the exquisite, and it was natural he should be curious of so rare an apparition. (26.1)
It's as though Osmond's very character and identity draw him inexorably to Isabel – he can't help but desire her.

Verizon LTE iPhone Rumored To Be in Testing Phase?
Ready for another Apple rumor? It's easy to imagine that Apple has more rumors floating around about its R&D projects than any other company on the planet. As I post this, there are rumors floating around about an iTablet, new iMacs, Mac Mini, iPhone Nano, a new FM iPhone app, not to mention countless patents that get filed on Apple's behalf weekly. Apple's got a lot of good things going.
It's time to officially throw another rumor into the mill. This one comes from Mashable, which reports that Apple is currently undergoing tests on a Verizon iPhone equipped with LTE 4G capabilities.
LTE is the next generation cellular service after the current 3G standard, which is supposed to significantly increase the speed of the data service and increase the capacity of the current networks. Three of the four major networks in the US are planning on deploying this service in the upcoming years.
There is some confusion as to where this rumor came from, or if it's entirely speculation. But hey, if something gets rumored enough, that must mean it's going to come true. If we click our heels three times and tell ourselves the iTablet is true, it will actually come out tomorrow.
No? It doesn't work like that? Darn.
The speculation stems from Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam making regular trips to Mountain View to supervise the company's collaboration with Google in creating the Droid, its premier Android device. Since Apple is headquartered just a few miles away, it would make sense for Lowell to pay Steve a visit. Add to that the fact that Verizon has confirmed LTE will be launched in 2010.
Personally I would not be surprised if a 4G Verizon iPhone is really being tested within the walls of the top secret labs in Cupertino, but that doesn't mean it will actually happen — much less does it guarantee we'll see AT&T exclusivity end and welcome a Verizon iPhone this upcoming summer.
I'm quite certain, rather, that there is a LOT of testing for a multitude of rumored products going on underneath little black blankets in front of several surveillance cameras. It doesn't mean they'll actually come to market though. It would be silly to imagine Apple doesn't test the latest technologies to stay ahead of the curve and be ready for the next latest and greatest trend that comes our way.
With that said, it certainly would be quite exciting to see a 4G iPhone come out as early as next summer. If one does come out on Verizon, we do have to express our confusion on why exactly the number one carrier in the US is completely trashing the product to hype up the Moto DROID. They may have to eat their words in the very near future.
But hey, with the introduction of such an iPhone to the Big Red network, there would be no stopping Verizon. We'd be seeing a huge transition from having the weakest smartphone lineup to having the absolute strongest — in a matter of months. At that point we'll see top of the line Android phones, Palm Pre, several WinMo 6.5 phones and the newest revolution of the iPhone all available on Verizon.
More questions to ponder: if Verizon picks up the iPhone (thus bringing an end to exclusivity at AT&T), will AT&T still be selling the newest iterations of the iPhone as they come out? Will AT&T be able to compete against a 4G LTE iPhone without having a LTE network of its own yet? Or will AT&T try to rush things and deploy 4G in the nick of time?
There is so much speculation to be had at the moment, it's exciting to be a part of it. Just remember though — that's all it is. Speculation.

Geocaching Treasure Hunts
It's every kid's dream: navigating an unknown trail with a secret map to discover hidden treasure. Only with geocaching, the map comes from GPS coordinates and the treasure is a logbook where you connect with previous explorers. According to Geocaching.com, more than 6 million people are searching 2 million-plus geocaching sites around the world. Caches range from traditional sites that include a logbook and a bit of booty (etiquette directs that you leave something of equal or greater value) to EarthCaches (teaching about geology) to Event Caches (geocachers parties). It's fun, free and accessible to all ages. All you need to join the fun is a GPS device or a smart phone app. Here are some places to get started.
Eugene Cascades & Coast GeoTour
To date, 143 cache sites are hidden along this 200-mile route, which includes the McKenzie River area, Oakridge, Florence and Oregon's historic Territorial Highway. Routes lead explorers to some of the most beautiful and off-the-beaten path locations in the region — hidden waterfalls, coastal vistas, covered bridges and historic landmarks. Some of the most popular include Waldo Lake, Sahalie Falls, Cape Perpetua and Dee Wright Observatory. Molly Blancett, public relations and social media manager for Travel Lane County, says the GeoTour really sets her region apart for geocaching. "We strategically placed the caches at places that we know people will find interesting and beautiful. There are only 39 official GeoTours in the world, which means cachers know that we went to great lengths to make Eugene, Cascades & Coast a geocaching destination."
Eastern Oregon
Geocaching in Eastern Oregon brings the kind of payoff you might expect. "Wide open spaces," says Ontario Mayor LeRoy Cammack. "We've got a lot of room, and there is a great variety of terrain." Cammack, who's been a geocaching enthusiast for 10 years, estimates that there are several hundred caches scattered around the mountains, valleys and desert near Ontario. And you can pick your poison. "You can find them right in the downtown area in parks," he says, while others may take all day because of the rugged terrain. Cammack's favorite, Dry Creek in Malheur County, is of the latter variety. Way out in the desert, where you've seen nothing but "sagebrush, rocks and rattlesnakes," you'll come upon a gorgeous steep-walled canyon with a creek flowing through it. Cammack likes that one can explore alone or with a group.
Willamette Valley
The Willamette Valley has more than 13,000 caches within a 60-mile range, according to Don Bacher, a geocacher from Albany. Bacher organizes the Arts & Air Challenge — a geocaching event that goes on during the Northwest Art & Air Festival. The challenge, which takes place on August 22, sends participants to 20 different locations, including 15 businesses, with a puzzle to solve. Bacher and his wife, Judy (who've geocached in all 50 states and more), have also created a set of 40 challenge caches on country roads outside Albany called the DJBach Challenge. Bacher says the hobby connects people from around the world and all ages in a spirit of exploration. "Caching takes you places you didn't even know existed even around your home," he says.
Mt. Hood
Summer brings new geocaching challenges to communities across Oregon's Mt. Hood Territory. The first one will launch in mid-June in Estacada, which is fitting because the world's first geocache took place just outside its city limits. Canby and Molalla are marking major anniversaries with geocoins, including the Canby Ferry's 100th anniversary and Molalla's year-long centennial celebration. Other summertime challenges will also out in Government Camp, Clackamas and West Linn.

Academic Affairs and Dean of the College
In the tutorial every entering student explores a topic of interest to the student and the instructor in a small group, discussion-intensive setting. The objectives of the tutorial are to illuminate methods of inquiry rather than to cover topics comprehensively, focusing particularly on writing, critical reading, oral communication, and information literacy skills. In addition, the tutorial initiates the process of planning for a liberal education at Grinnell through advising conversations between students and their instructors.
MAPs at a Distance
A pilot group of MAPs directed from a distance was conducted in summer 2012. We will continue accepting proposals so the Curriculum Committee can formally evaluate the effectiveness and success of the program after sufficient data has been gathered. Summer MAP applications that require the faculty director and the student be separated for a significant amount of time during the standard 10-week period will be evaluated, but the guidelines below will be strictly enforced.

UPDATE: Originally reported in Morgan/Maumelle area. Title corrected.
These two dogs have been found following the Arkansas tornadoes that devastated much of the state last night. This Facebook thread posted April 28.
Angie Taylor reported these two dogs were found in the Morgan/Maumelle area by a friend of hers on Facebook. At this time, Angie is trying to get a contact number. If owners identify, they can contact via Facebook.
This Facebook group page is assisting, with information on rescue groups, where to have pets scanned or treated and other up to date information. Residents who find an animal are asked to hold onto it until it's owner is located.
Please leave a phone number where you can be reached. Don't depend on people being able to reach you on Facebook if at all possible.
Also remember to be very careful who you release a "found" pet to. Sadly, in other disasters, people have taken advantage of the situation and taken custody of pets that did not belong to them.
People who have lost everything don't need to deal with nefarious folks also.. These disasters bring out people who scam, so please beware.
If a pet is reunited with its owner, please post the story I've done on my Facebook wall saying we were successful.

Roberts Bank Rail Corridor
Roberts Bank Rail Corridor wins Premier's Award, Promoting Innovation and Excellence, in the Partnership category.
The Roberts Bank Rail Corridor Program is an unprecedented collaboration of 12 funding partners representing provincial, federal and local governments, and private industry. The partnership delivered eight rail overpasses and a rail siding project along a 70-kilometre trade corridor. The route carries increasing volumes of international freight between B.C, Canadian and economically vibrant Asia Pacific countries, by connecting terminals at Roberts Bank, in Delta, with the North American rail and road network.
The improvements have boosted efficiency and safety for rail and road users alike. Separating rail and road traffic has enabled the expansion of the Deltaport terminal, enabled longer trains to operate and improved truck access at the terminal. The projects developed by the partnership have also enhanced quality of life in the five communities along the corridor, by eliminating train whistles, reducing vehicle congestion and idling, improving access to industrial sites and removing barriers to emergency response.
Canada's Pacific Gateway moves people and goods easily between North America and the world. Marine ports, railways, roads and airports provide efficient, reliable market access.
British Columbia is the preferred gateway for Asian trade to North America and the world. Transportation is a key support for economic growth and development. That's why it is singled out for special focus in the BC Jobs Plan. More than any other sector, it serves the dual purpose of generating direct employment and underpinning job creation, development and progress throughout B.C.

After much speculation, the plans for Whitney Houston's funeral have been set. The fallen pop diva will be laid to rest in her native Newark, New Jersey, a week after her death in a Los Angeles hotel room.
A Houston family rep confirmed to MTV News that Houston's invitation-only funeral will take place at New Baptist Church at noon on Saturday.
Los Angeles County coroner officials completed Houston's autopsy Sunday, and her body was released to her family the very next day and then flown back east, according to CNN. There have been rumors that there will be a public memorial at Newark's Prudential Center with a ceremony similar to Michael Jackson's high-profile farewell, but USA Today is reporting that such a plan was never in place and as of right now, the funeral is the only scheduled sendoff for the 48-year-old star.
As a youth in Newark, Houston attended New Hope Baptist Church. In a statement issued to MTV News on Sunday, the Houston family expressed their grief in this trying time. "We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Whitney. This is an unimaginable tragedy, and we will miss her terribly," the statement read. "We appreciate the outpouring of love and support from her fans and friends."
The cause of Houston's death is still unknown. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office continues to quell any speculation. "I know there are reports that she maybe was drowned or did she overdose, but we won't make a final determination until all the tests are in," he told CNN.
Share your condolences with Whitney's family and friends on our Facebook page.

'Last Dance' for Former Teen Disco Queens
For the history books, Donna Summer was queen of the disco era.
For teen girls in the '80s, she was queen of our adolescence.
"Bad Girls," "Hot Stuff," "Dim All the Lights," these were the songs on the radio my sister and I would sing along with from the back seat of our parents' car, the songs we danced to at Bar Mitzvah parties. "Enough is Enough"? I'm sure I was flitting around my room with a deodorant microphone when Casey Kasem called it number one.
Summer's music wasn't just for the dance floor.
"On the Radio" was a favorite shared by my cousin, sister and me – we belted it out on vacations in Florida. I know somewhere I have a cassette we recorded of our own rendition. To this day, as a devoted radio listener, I continue to love the romantic notion of a love connection via the radio.
As for "MacArthur Park," did I ever understand why someone was writing about a cake left out in the rain? Of course not, But do I always sing along? Of course.
What tribute can do justice to "Last Dance"? Its slow, shimmery windup leading into the powerful disco punch made it truly perfect for any and all last dances. It never fails to deliver for the occasion. It captures the joy and energy of the moment.
That's what Summer was to me and I'm sure so many other teenage girls. Joy and energy. RIP.

Pony car revolution
The book tells about Mustang's introduction to the car buying public at the opening of the New York World's Fair in April 1964 and the development process that led to the creation of the a brand new class of vehicle, the "pony car." The Mustang inspired imitators like the Chrysler Barracuda, Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. Mustang is the only "pony car" car to remain in continuous production.
The book is published in softcover and contains 200 B&W photographs. Cover price is $21.99, and can be ordered here.

- April 19 from 8-11 a.m. at Pasteiner's in Birmingham, MI

The decision by the National Park Service to terminate a partnership with local groups for managing the Pearson Air Museum signals an unwarranted abandonment of three long-standing principles. If federal officials cannot restore the partnership as it has thrived for years, Congress should intervene. U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, on Tuesday adamantly declared she is willing to pursue such action.
The first principle to be abandoned is found on the NPS' own website: "We are proud that tribes, local governments, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and individual citizens ask for our help in revitalizing their communities, preserving local history, celebrating local heritage, and creating close to home opportunities for kids and families to get outside, be active and have fun." Yet, by denying permits to multiple groups to use Pearson Air Museum, the NPS — specifically, Fort Vancouver National Historic Site Superintendent Tracy Fortmann — has turned its back on that very guideline.
Pearson Air Museum has been essentially evicted from the building where Fort Vancouver National Trust staff and volunteers have provided superb management and stewardship skills for years. Current plans to move museum exhibits and other equipment to a nearby hangar are unacceptable.
Second, the agreement among the NPS, the city of Vancouver and the Fort Vancouver National Trust for management of Pearson Air Museum has splendidly served all stakeholders since it was signed in 1995. Yet the NPS now suddenly says many local events that have long been held at the museum do not fall within federal permit guidelines.
Third, the principle of smooth collaboration between federal and city agencies, which in this case has thrived for 18 years, now appears at risk. We cannot find a single reason for this partnership to be threatened or drastically altered. Skeptics who doubt that multiple layers of government cannot work well together now find fuel for their cynicism. This is a classic example of a problem that never existed until it was created by federal officials.
The preferred solution is for the NPS and the National Historic Site officials to re-establish their emphasis on public access, managed by local entities. Herrera Beutler said on Tuesday she has discussed the matter with the House Resources Committee, and a congressional hearing is possible for the Park Service to explain its stance. She also has scheduled a meeting with the chair of the House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee and NPS officials.
If those efforts do not succeed, we urge Herrera Beutler to follow this strategy: "I'm also drafting a bill to turn management of the Pearson Air Museum and surrounding land over to the City of Vancouver and Fort Vancouver National Trust."
It doesn't have to come to that, but Herrera Beutler said in an email statement: "While I've been working diligently to foster a local solution, the Park Service's actions are now leaving me little choice but to pursue a Congressional initiative."
The path to resolution may appear murky, but this much is crystal clear: The federal badgering of Pearson Air Museum must stop, and local public access must be returned to its former high levels.

Top email marketing info sources: 2010 edition
Latest posts | By Mark Brownlow | 24 Comments | Licence this content
Once a year I update my guide to the best people and places to get good, solid, reliable email marketing information from.
This is not exclusive. There are so many great email marketing resources online right now that the final cut is necessarily subjective. Ultimately, it's a selection of personal favorites based on around ten years watching the space.
Please feel free to plug your own favorites in the comments, of course…if there are enough, I'll publish a "reader's tips" follow-up post.
Media sites
1. MediaPost's Email Insider is probably my favorite media site, hosting various excellent columns written by experts with strong backgrounds in the subject area.
If I was forced to name a top column, I'd go for Loren McDonald's, which probably comes closest to the way I think about and use marketing email.
2. ClickZ was one of the first marketing media websites to publish an email marketing column. They now have five, featuring many long-time industry stalwarts.
All are good value, but my particular favorites are anything written by Derek Harding, Ed Heinrich, Stephanie Miller or Simms Jenkins.
3. MarketingProfs offers many great resources, but the email newsletter "Get to the Point: email marketing" is perhaps best. You get summaries of email marketing articles at the main site, plus highlights of useful posts from other sources. The summaries are often better than the original articles.
4. Other broader marketing venues with useful email marketing sections include Econsultancy and eMarketing & Commerce.
5. iMedia Connection has slipped down my personal rankings of late, but you can still get good stuff from their email regulars, like Wendy Roth, Chris Marriott and others. Watch particularly for articles by Dylan Boyd.
Stats and studies
MarketingSherpa's Email Marketing Benchmark Guide has achieved iconic status in the industry. The main Sherpa site is also a good source of case studies and other reports.
The EmailStatCenter.com website is the place to start looking for public stats. It's the brainchild of Simms Jenkins (mentioned earlier).
[N.B. This page lists 30+ sources of email marketing data and benchmarks.]
Keep an eye out for studies published by ExactTarget. Their Morgan Stewart is one of the few experts out there with an understanding of email, wider marketing channels and statistical analysis. I value his blog posts very highly.
Blogs and newsletters
There are hundreds of relevant blogs/newsletters out there, but the following account for most of the links I share through my Google Reader.
Don't forget that many of the below provide various ways to access their content (feed, email, Twitter etc.)
- The Email Guide's Jim Ducharme does a great job of highlighting the best of the email marketing web in his daily buzz roundup. The site's also a great source of service listings and hosts email radio.
- Chad White operates the Retail Email blog which is a super public source of insight into what the big retailers are doing with their emails.
- The MailChimp blog often comes up with great insights and stats.
- eROI's Dylan Boyd has a super perspective on email marketing in a wider context, which he brings us through The Email Wars.
- The Bronto bloggers impress with their concerted effort to bring useful, hype-free info to the community. Probably one of the best around at the moment.
- The Blue Sky Factory blog stands out because the people there are also very clued in to social media and the implications for email. And because it features DJ Waldow, social superhero.
- Three design-focused blogs to throw at you: Smith-Harmon (lots of examples with commentary), Style Campaign (very detailed, focus on mobile design) and Campaign Monitor (chock full of useful email design resources). Check this post for lots more top design sources.
- Deliverability blogs are listed here (personal favorite is Word to the Wise, which is about as objective as you'll get online).
- AWeber's Inbox Ideas is very educational and especially useful for small business (see also below).
- J-P De Clerck writes wisely and regularly on social media, email and the interfaces between the two at Social Email Marketing and Conversionation.
- Experian CheetahMail's blog has caught my attention recently. One of the contributors is Jordan Lane, who also has a good blog at EmailMoxie.com.
- The Alchemy Worx newsletter takes common topics and offers a new perspective or advice that challenges what we all thought was true.
Most of the resources mentioned above are for people dealing regularly with email marketing. Here I'd like to point out some resources that address small business and those dealing intermittently with email marketing…
- If you write an email newsletter and haven't read the articles by Michael Katz, you should.
- Janine Popick's blog posts at Vertical Response take a small business focus and go beyond the mechanics of email marketing to cover other business aspects relevant to the "small" emailer.
- Constant Contact has a huge small business user base: see their Learning Center for blog posts, articles, webinars etc.
Twitter accounts
Most of the names scattered throughout this post are worth following on Twitter. However, I'd like to pick out a few extra folk who stand out for being excellent spreaders of useful info or who don't fit some of the other categories.
Good info hubs:
John Caldwell, Shannon Holato, Andy Thorpe, Jordie van Rijn, Remy Bergsma, Email Institute, The Email Guide, Chris Donald, J-P De Clerck, newzapp, Noah Fournier, Fred Tabsharani, Scott Hardigree…
Andrew Kordek, Scott Cohen and robinteractive are three active twitterers from the client side of the equation: always a good perspective to have, since most content producers in this space are vendors.
(I'm sure I forgot many great Twitter accounts to follow: remind me in the comments!)
Asking a question
Finally, the Email Marketer's Club is probably the biggest networking site out there for email marketers and includes a forum and many other useful resources. It was founded by the wonderful Tamara Gielen.
Now over to your suggestions…

It's an honour to be included Mark! Thanks for making our day!
Hi Mark, I'm not the kind of guy that Google himself but Noah Fournier just sent me a nice tweet saying I was mentioned here. Thanks for the honour. I now post more on my blog Conversionation using my personal @conversionation account since I'd like @socialemail to be a group blog but I guess I'm my own worst competitor. LOL.
Thanks for the shout out! It's time I start doing some myself
Cheers mate
Thanks Mark for another great list – this will be useful for many folks.
PS thanks for including me & EmailStatCenter.com
Thanks so much for the mention Mark, really appreciate it.
I also have @getintheinbox which only tweets about email and digital marketing and not all of my other social quirks, if that's what people want
Thanks a ton for the mention, Mark. I am blown away that you have included me as someone to follow on Twitter, along with the likes of John Caldwell, J-P, The Email Guide and Chris Donald (and all the others). It's truly an honor.
Mark: I really appreciate the shout-out as one of your client-side folks to follow on Twitter. Kordek must be pleased he's not the only voice on our side anymore.
Thanks again for the honor!
Great list Mark – really enjoy your posts.
Great list and resource as always – thanks for the call out. But not just tit for tat as they say, but your blog and articles are always #1 on my list. Lately, for some strange reason I feel we've been thinking about the exact same topics – I'm adopted…perhaps we are brothers???
Kudos also for mentioning some client-side email marketers!
Cheers – keep up the great content.
Mark, What a great resource you've put together here. I agree with Loren about kudos for the client-side mentions. Your blog is one of my favorites!
Thanks for the shout-out, I'm humbled.
Cheers, Chris
Thanks Chris!
Loren, I always felt my parents were holding something back from me. That might explain it. The AC/DC test will confirm it. For no logical reason, I always wanted to be Angus Young. If you ever felt that yearning, then we must be related.
Mark –
Thanks for the love, dude. Great to see my former company (Bronto) as well as my current company (BSF) on the list. I would have liked to see BSF AHEAD of Bronto, but hey. Ha ha. Just kidding (kinda).
Not sure I've ever been called a "social superhero" but I'll take it. I have been naming many of my talks Batman (Email Marketing) and Robin (Social Media) so I guess it's fitting.
Echoing what Loren said, you are also on my list – #1, #2, #3. I find myself constantly referencing you and this blog in nearly every webinar or talk I give. Certainly a top resource. One of these days we'll meet face to face, right?
Thanks again!
DJ Waldow
Director of Community, Blue Sky Factory
Cheers for the mention Mark, lots of my favorite bloggers/twitter folks mentioned here and I'm chuffed to be included
Thanks DJ, Anna.
DJ – last year I described you as irreverent, before realizing I wasn't sure if that was a good thing. So I played safe this year
Great list- very spot on
I'll join the chorus of folks saying thanks for the mention, glad to be included on the client side Twitter list (@robinteractive).
And, from the client side, thanks to you and everyone you listed. These resources are the tips and tricks that keep us on the client side moving forward, alert us to new trends and concerns we don't have time to research on our own, etc.
All of you help us on the client-side build our knowledge and expertise, especially those of us in one-person or otherwise "small" e-mail/social shops within companies.
Thanks robinteractive. Ultimately, whatever reasons many of us have for producing content, it has to help marketers do their job better. So glad to hear it's helping.
Thanks for the great list Mark. It will be a great resource for me. Especially for new-hires!
Thanks for the mention man..I truly appreciate it. I love what you do and appreciate all of the valuable insight you provide.
OMG, how could you forget to mention John Arnold who wrote email marketing for dummies. It's a great book and I've gotten a lot of good results from the content.
Thanks for the article Mark Brownlow – It's very informative
Email marketing is really coming around and I enjoyed these tips. It seems like email marketing is working great with social media, something I like to call social email marketing. Thanks again for the blog post.
Only just found this, gives a good insight

Playoffs or regular season, New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist has been absolutely perfect the past three times he has faced Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.
So what if the Rangers were struggling under first-year coach Alain Vigneault? Lundqvist felt good about his team's chances Wednesday night, then backed that up with his 46th NHL shutout in New York's 2-0 victory against Washington.
"I felt like we came in here with a lot of confidence that we can beat them," the Swedish goalie said, "even though we've had a rough start."
It was his third shutout in a row against familiar postseason foe Washington, including Games 6 and 7 of the teams' first-round playoff series in May. New York and Washington have met in the playoffs four times in five years, splitting those series.
"The games against the Rangers are always tight," Capitals forward Brooks Laich said. "We knew that going in. We knew it wasn't going to be a shootout."
Lundqvist only needed to make 22 saves, thanks in part to 22 blocked shots by his teammates. By the end, Rangers fans in the crowd were chanting, "Hen-reek! Hen-reek!"
"Tonight Hank was on, and we didn't give them a whole lot," said Brad Richards, who assisted on goals by Ryan Callahan and John Moore less than two minutes apart in the second period.

- Line another large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. On a lightly floured surface roll puff pastry into a 13x9-inch rectangle. Use a sharp knife or pastry wheel to cut a 1-inch strip off each side of the pastry. Place pastry rectangle on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl combine egg and the water. Brush edges of pastry rectangle with egg mixture; place pastry strips on edges of rectangle, trimming to fit. Brush pastry all over with egg mixture. Prick bottom of pastry with a fork. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. If bottom is puffed, gently and carefully press down with the back of a long-handled spatula. Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Transfer pastry to a storage container; cover and chill overnight.
- In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup salad dressing, and the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon parsley. Cover and chill overnight.
- To serve, spread cream cheese mixture over bottom of pastry (let mixture stand at room temperature for 30 minutes if too firm to spread). Top with tomato and onion slices, overlapping as necessary. Sprinkle with basil and/or additional parsley. Cut tart into 16 pieces. Return tart to storage container; cover tightly.
- Tote tart and, if desired, additional salad dressing in an insulated cooler with ice packs. Serve tart with the additional dressing.

In my last article, I mentioned that I've begun to dabble in self-publishing, and I went over a few of the really great resources that are out there. When I first began to investigate self-publishing, it didn't look good "out there", but as I grew more knowledgeable and confident in my choices, I realized that this is definitely the right course for authors who have something to give the world but can't find the proper platform.
Most mainline publishers, e-book publishers, and mass market paperback publishers must believe that your book can sell thousands of books (if not millions) to make that book worth publishing. They gear their selections to what they believe sells well. They cannot afford to take every book submitted to them and run with it, so they look for authors with a great "voice", excellent narrative and characterization skills, and finely honed writing skills. So don't feel terribly bad if you just got a reject letter from St. Martin's or Harlequin. Your book just didn't "fit". It doesn't mean it isn't good enough to be published. It just means that the publisher didn't love it enough to want to invest big bucks to edit, create a cover, promote, and market your book.
And that is exactly why so many authors are turning to self-publishing. The up front costs are minimal.
A couple of years back, an extremely high number of self-published books for sale on the large retail bookstores were sadly lacking in professionalism and quality, but boy, has that ever changed! With the resources now available to those who wish to publish their own books, we are no longer at the mercy of sorta-publishers who prey on newbie authors. Oh, they haven't gone away, but fewer talented newbies are falling into their clutches.
Today, I'm going to show would-be authors some of the excellent resources available to them to help create and promote their books. I will go over a different resource each week through May.
Covers, graphic arts, and promo resources are what get your books noticed.
I love to create my own covers from royalty free photo stock shots, but I hate to spend hours and hours going through all the available sites, just to buy a couple dozen good ones (when I can find them at a price I can afford). After I find the photos that I think might fit, I create the title and the credits with Photoshop. But sometimes the photos I can find don't fit the book, and I need someone with a larger gallery and better resources, so I use my go-go-girl.
I mentioned in my last article that there are numerous royalty-free photo sites on the web, and that you can purchase many cover-ready photos at reasonable rates. If you are the proud possessor of a great photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop, you can do a credible cover for your book.
Today I am writing about one of my favorite graphic arts resources...the woman I have referred to over the past five years as "the Cover Goddess"...
Syneca Featherstone of ORIGINAL SYN.
But when I absolutely need something professional and perfect, I run to the Cover Goddess and ask her to help me out. And I never regret it. Her prices are low, and her work is impeccable.
Her fabulous Facebook banners and Twitter banners make a statement that no amount of improvising can. (And believe me, I've tried!)
I am attaching a slideshow of a number of covers that Syneca has created for my books and for others. A picture is often worth way more than the proverbial thousand words.
I have created cover trailers for my books just by using the delicious covers she has created, and adding text. Using royalty free music. You can check them out on my YouTube Channel.
She also helped me to design my new website, using a free resource that gives me a more professional looking website than my prior site. I decided that I had to share my cover goddess with the rest of the world, because your self-published book deserves the very best.

Hi I want to show that the equation $2=2 \cos(x)+x \sin(x) $ has no solution in $(0,2 \pi)$. Since it is algebraically impossible to solve this equation for $x$ I wanted to ask you whether one of you has an idea how to show this

This might help you.
Let $f(x) = 2 \cos x + x \sin x$. Then $f'(x) = - 2 \sin x + \sin x + x \cos x = x \cos x - \sin x$ and $f''(x) = - x \sin x + \cos x - \cos x = - x \sin x$.
HINT: Note that for $\theta =x/2$, $$2x\sin \theta\cos\theta = x\sin x=2(1-\cos x)=4\sin^2\theta$$ Hence $\tan\theta=\theta$. Now look at the graphs of $y=\tan x$ and $y=x$ and try to show that they intersect only at $(0,0).$

A writer for a prominent technology-and-culture magazine recently contacted me about a piece he's writing on the politics of MOOCs in American higher education. He's asking some quite provocative questions about the language of "innovation," "revolution," and "disruption" surrounding the emergence and spread of MOOCs over the last two years, particularly as it touches on the peculiar controversy around on-line education during the leadership crisis at the University of Virginia in 2012.
During our back and forth I made the point to him that most critical coverage of MOOCs has largely ignored the experiences of the many thousands of students actually taking these on-line classes. It might be interesting, I suggested, to ask the students themselves how they view what they're doing in relation to the controversies attending the proliferation of these courses. Are these controversies all "inside baseball," or have they influenced the public perception of what universities are up to in their often flailing attempts to get on line in new ways? We came up with three sets of questions to pose to the students in "Plagues, Witches, and War: The Worlds of Historical Fiction." I'm hoping students will post their responses in the "MOOCS and Online Learning" discussion forum on our Coursera site (the link will work only if you're enrolled in the class), though anyone who wishes is also welcome to post responses in the Comments section below this post. Do with these questions what you will, and thanks for your interest!
- To what extent are your feelings about and experiences of MOOCs influenced by the conversations around them in journalism, higher education, etc.? Do you see MOOCs as "disruptive" or "revolutionary" to universities, whether in the United States or your own country/region?
- Do you see MOOCs as an example of "digital innovation"? In your experience, are MOOCs described (and marketed) as such an innovative technological solution that "online education" refers mostly/only to MOOCs?
- Do you believe that the time, energy, and expense universities are investing in MOOCs are justified by the supposedly experimental nature of the medium? ("It's an experiment. We'll see what happens.")

Omaha community activist Walter Brooks is calling for justice for two imprisoned Black Panther leaders. Brooks is speaking out in behalf of Edward Poindexter and Mondo we Langa (formerly David Rice) who were convicted for the April 17, 1970 bombing murder of Patrolman Larry Minard, Sr. The two men in prison were leaders of the Nebraska chapter of the Black Panthers called the National Committee to Combat Fascism.
J. Edgar Hoover, then director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, oversaw a massive, clandestine counterintelligence operation codenamed COINTELPRO that targeted domestic political activists for dirty tricks to "disrupt" their efforts. Hoover oversaw the counterintelligence actions against thousands of individuals from 1956 to 1971, when the program was formally abandoned. The Black Panther Party came to be the principal COINTELPRO target and Hoover went after Black Panther leaders all over the country.
Hoover had been hounding Paul Young, the FBI Special Agent-in-Charge in Omaha, to get Poindexter and Mondo off the streets. In a December 10, 1969 counterintelligence memorandum, Hoover told Young he needed to produce results and get "imaginative" against the Black Panthers. Half a year later when Minard was killed, Paul Young sprang to action and took over the investigation into the identity of the 911 caller who lured Minard to his death. Young told FBI Crime Laboratory director Ivan Willard Conrad to not issue a laboratory report on a recording of the 911 call. Hoover concurred and ordered Conrad to not issue a written report.
Ed Poindexter and Mondo we Langa were convicted without the jury ever hearing the voice of a killer, the 911 caller. Although the Eighth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ordered a new trial for Mondo because of an illegal search of his house, Mondo never got his day in court because of a procedural limitation on the appeal rights of state prisoners in the decision Stone v. Powell by the United States Supreme Court.
Walter Brooks says the trial court was manipulated by COINTELPRO actions, including the withholding of the FBI lab report. Brooks says that modern judges need to relook at past mistakes of the courts in order to have a just society. Brooks is now seeking help for the Omaha Two to gain a new trial and is reaching out around the country exploring justice resources.
"All these guys need is another day in court and these cases fly out the window," Brooks said. "It's never allowing them to get back into court that keeps them chained till death."

Okay, here we go…
MARYLAND! –baton pass–
The Governor-backed marriage amendment in the land of crabs, Ravens and shitloads of crack has a long road ahead, as The Washington Post reports today. The area is seen as a natural soft spot for Marriage Equality. It's adjacent to what is rapidly becoming the 13 colonies of equality (Most of New England and Maryland-sharer D.C. are currently enjoying marriage freedom). The state is also Democrat-controlled in both senate houses.
However, Maryland grows their Democrats fussier, and the Maryland Equality bill (which looks to be formally introduced next week), could be committeed to death. A bill usually goes through a single committee, then to each of the houses, then to the governor's desk, and then it's a law!
What the writers Schoolhouse Rock failed to convey was that a bill could be split into two committees, doubling the length of the bill's fine-tooth-combing and ultimately delaying the bill's passage. The show's producers figured that animating that part of the legislative process would be too "disappointing" and "emotionally taxing" for impressionable Gen X children.
In Maryland's defense, um…they're bothering to try at all? No, the idea is to avoid last year's Maryland Equality crib death and split the decision over to the Health and Government Operations Committee as well, which congressional aides have admitted is friendlier to civil rights issues. So, this could be a longer wait but a surer bet. Longer wait or surer bet?
Why is always "or" and never "and"? Sigh.
–baton pass!– NORTH CAROLINA!
North Carolina is prepping a marriage discrimination amendment that for at least a handful of hate groups is proving to be as eagerly anticipated a summer event as whether or not Anne Hathaway's Catwoman will be stupid. However, these hate groups, led by Americans for Truth About (Against?) Homosexuality, don't like being called hate groups. At least as classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
That's why the groups and their "rent-a-reverends" loaded up a van the day after observing Dr. King Day and headed to Montgomery, Alabama to protest outside the SPLC to say that they aren't hate groups…
…and that gay men mix sperm and poop and will kill us all.
North Carolina pastor Patrick Wooden of the (I'm not kidding) Upper Room Church of Christ in God went on RightWingWatch Radio on January 14th with his fellow rallyer Pete LaBarbera of ATAH, and said this– (I have included this picture of Alfred the Butler from Batman: The Animated Series because I want you to imagine Pastor Wooden saying all this to his unchanged face:
Doesn't he sound like the crazy guy you try to ignore at a McDonald's?
Let's revisit the text:
"WOODEN: The God of the Bible made the human sperm, the God of the Bible designed it and it was not designed to be emptied into an area that is filled with feces, there is nothing for it to germinate with, it will most certainly mean the extinction of the human race. My belief is that if the medical community would just step forward and just would share with the American people what happens to the male anus, the problems that homosexuals have with their rectums, the damage that is done, the operations that are needed to sew up their bodies if you will, and how many of the men don't even give these stitches time to heal before they are back out there practicing that wicked behavior. Some are bleeders, men who are not turned off by ingesting the feces of other men. …If the truth was told, people would literally gag and no one would want to be in a lifestyle like that. Who wants to practice anything that is going to ultimately lead a grown man to about the time he's in his 40s or 50s, or what not, having to wear a diaper or a butt plug just to be able to contain their bowels?"
Yes, medical community, why are you hiding this evidence of rectal prolapsing? Why aren't you coming forward and pointing your finger at us? Could it be that you don't want us to smell where that finger has been? HMM?
Or is it simply that there is no evidence? Is it simply that many factors contribute to this, including constipation, age and childbirth? Is it simply that anyone who does claim to have a collapsed poopshoot because of anal sex is #doingitwrong?
Oh, medical community, you make me sick.
–baton pass!– WASHINGTON STATE!
Speaking of SPCL designated hate groups, NOM, the National Organization for Marriage, is preparing to spend $250,000 to unseat Republican congresspeople who vote for Washington's gay marriage bill. Wow, and they're spending $500,000 in New Jersey! NOM has really been saving up their tooth fairy money this year. I'm just kidding, they're using the money you gave them when you shopped at Wal-Mart, Chick-Fil-A and theaters showing Twilight movies.
Anyway, it's standard issue NOM scare tactics, but we'll see if it works this time. We only need 2 more votes in Washington.
2012 is a make or break year for marriages, if you will allow me to reinterpret this (mountingly panicky) comment from NOM's leader Brian Brown, who must have been a used car salesman in a former life:
"Already this year, major new pushes to legalize same-sex marriage have erupted in Washington State and New Jersey. And with just days left before the South Carolina primary, we are at a critical moment in the race for the GOP nomination for president. NOM is committed to making sure voters have a marriage champion who will stand as a clear alternative to President Obama this November. Remember, we are fighting to stop a small group of zealots from discarding 3,000 years of human history and redefining our country's biblical traditions on sex and marriage as the equivalent of bigotry. If we lose, the result will be the absolute destruction of marriage in America…in your state, in my state, in all 50 states!"
Yeah, well, Brian, 3,000 years of human history could use a little tidying up.

Nintendo revealed the Wii U Pro Controller during its pre-E3 event, showcasing an Xbox 360-like gamepad that it says will appeal to core gamers.
I'm still personally lost as to what "core" gamer means, but going by what Nintendo has brought forth with this controller, it's clear that I'm well within that target demographic.
That's because I love it: I love its simplicity, I love its traditional look, and I love the fact that it looks almost exactly like the 360's controller.
Admittedly, I've never been a massive fan of Wii. I was insanely intrigued about the 'Revolution' Nintendo was promising with its Gamecube successor, although I'd argue that "Revolution" was nothing more than a buzz term, considering anything but a revolution was caused by Nintendo's admittedly innovative and fascinating Wii remote.
I wouldn't say I feel let down by Nintendo, but I do miss the Gamecube days. It seems that Nintendo was quite intent on making some ground and dominating the market, which it knew it could do, and so it ditched the same market Microsoft and Sony are still fighting over to give gamers something completely different. I admire them for that, and that's why we love them.
But what I've seen and heard about Wii U so far has me very excited, more than I ever was with Wii. I predict that the Wii U tablet (or "Gamepad", as has been officially revealed) will offer portable console gaming like we've never seen before, and you can bet that both Microsoft and Sony will follow suit, if they aren't already in the process of. Rumours swirling around the LA Convention Center at the moment suggest that Microsoft may be bringing an Xbox Live Companion app to iOS and Android devices, allowing the playing of specially-designed Xbox 360 content to be played on-the-go. That sounds a lot like what Nintendo might be offering with Wii U.
The Pro Controller, though, has me especially excited about the software. I might not jump at the opportunity to play Call of Duty on Wii U, but I would absolutely love for the console to have a thriving online community of the CoD-variety. Also, think about the possibilities for a Metroid FPS and a Super Smash Bros. The controller seems perfect for those games.
You might ask how this new controller will allow such a community to grow, and it has a lot to do with how the games will play -- which we can assume would be similar to how first-person shooters currently play on Xbox and PlayStation 3 -- and what sort of online network the Big N brings to the table. I'm confident they can hit a homerun in both cases.
I like what Nintendo has given us with this controller, because it reminds me that tradition and innovation don't necessarily have to be two seperate components for technology. As long as Nintendo can continue to evolve on its brilliant first-party lineup, the Pro Controller may be what Wii U needs to attract the blockbuster third-party titles.
What do you think of the Wii U Pro Controller? Join Nintendo gamers in the forums to talk about it!
By Gaetano Prestia - Bio
Tyrus said: A Metroid Prime sequel with that controller would be bliss. I hated seeing the third entry on Wii being used with the Wiimote.

text: Hendrik CronjéBloemfontein – Griquas will not underestimate the scrumming power of Western Province in spite of the scrumming lesson dished out to the Stormers in their recent Super Rugby semi-final against the Crusaders.The Griquas camp is simply of the belief that the Stormers' scrummagers had an off day against the Crusaders and that they will be out to put things right straight away in the Currie Cup.Two of the players that will pack down in Griquas' front row against Western Province at Newlands on Saturday – hooker Ryno Barnes and tighthead prop Lourens Adriaanse – played Super Rugby for the Cheetahs this year. And they know exactly what to expect against the Cape side."I think the Stormers have scrummed very well through the years. We certainly won't underestimate WP in the wake of the Stormers' scrumming performance against the Crusaders," said Barnes.Griquas worked particularly hard on their scrumming at training this week out of respect for WP's scrummagers, who include fiery hooker Tiaan Liebenberg as well as props Brok Harris and Wicus Blaauw.However, WP will struggle to get Griquas into reverse gear as the visitors can call on the experienced Barnes, Adriaanse and Steph Roberts.Forwards coach Pote Human will also not allow the Griquas pack to take a beating."I think Lourens did well when he got game time for the Cheetahs (in this year's Super Rugby tournament). We learned a lot from Os du Randt (Cheetahs scrum coach) and hope to utilise that knowledge on the field."Griquas will have to cope without scrumhalf Sarel Pretorius. He will know on Wednesday for how long he will be sidelined with his knee injury.The Griquas team is: Riaan Viljoen, Richard Lawson, Wilmaure Louw, Barry Geel, Rocco Jansen, Monty Dumond, Shannon Rick, Jonathan Mokuena (capt), Davon Raubenheimer, Justin Downey, Martin Muller, Hendrik Roodt, Lourens Adriaanse, Ryno Barnes, Steph Roberts Substitutes: Matt Dobson, Jean Botha, Frikkie Spies, Jaco Nepgen, Matt Rosslee, Earl Rose, Fabian Juries
