Associated Press
WASHINGTON — More than 6 in 10 Americans now favor allowing illegal immigrants to eventually become U.S. citizens, a major increase in support driven by a turnaround in Republicans' opinions after the 2012 elections.
The finding, in a new Associated Press-GfK poll, comes as the Republican Party seeks to increase its meager support among Latino voters, who turned out in large numbers to help-re-elect President Barack Obama in November.
Emboldened by the overwhelming Hispanic backing and by shifting attitudes on immigration, Obama has made overhauling laws about who can legally live in the U.S. a centerpiece of his second-term agenda. In the coming weeks, he's expected to aggressively push for ways to create an eventual pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already in this country.
The poll results suggest that the public overall, not just Hispanics, will back his efforts. Sixty-two percent of Americans now favor providing a way for illegal immigrants in the U.S. to become citizens, an increase from just 50 percent in the summer of 2010, the last time the AP polled on the question.
In an even earlier poll, in 2009, some 47 percent supported a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
Further boosting the president on the issue, Democrats have opened a 41 percent to 34 percent advantage as the party more trusted to handle immigration, the first time they've held a significant edge on the matter in AP-GfK polling. In October 2010, Republicans held a slight edge over Democrats, 46 percent to 41 percent, on the question of who was more trusted on immigration.
Much of the increase in support for a path to eventual citizenship has come among Republicans. A majority in the GOP — 53 percent — now favor the change. That's up a striking 22 percentage points from 2010. Seventy-two percent of Democrats and 55 percent of independents like the idea, similar to 2010.
The findings suggest that those GOP lawmakers weighing support for eventual legal status for illegal immigrants could be rewarded politically not just by Democrats and independents but also by some in their own party as well. This comes amid soul-searching in the party about how the GOP can broaden its support with Latinos, who backed Obama over Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, 71 percent to 27 percent, in November. Romney received less support from Latinos than Republican President George W. Bush did. But his slice was on par with candidates Bob Dole in 1996 and George H.W. Bush in 1992.
Some Republicans have concluded that backing comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship is becoming a political necessity. Many lawmakers remain strongly opposed, and it's far from clear whether Congress will ultimately sign off on such an approach. But in the Senate, a bipartisan group of lawmakers is working to draft immigration legislation, and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a possible 2016 presidential candidate, has offered proposals that would ultimately allow illegal immigrants to attain legal status.
One poll participant, Nick Nanos, 66, of Bellmore, N.Y., said that providing a way for illegal immigrants to become citizens would respect America's history as a nation built by immigrants.
"We act as if our grandparents got here legally. Don't want to ask a single Indian about that," Nanos said in a follow-up interview. "I don't think that most of us can solidly come to a point where our grandparents or great-grandparents or great-great-grandparents were here legally. What does that even mean?"
Overall, 54 percent in the poll said immigration is an important issue to them personally, a figure that's remained steady over the past couple of years.
Republicans aren't the only group whose views have shifted significantly. In August of 2010, just 39 percent of seniors favored a path to citizenship. Now, 55 percent do. Among those without a college degree, support has increased from 45 percent to 57 percent.

Jerry Mahoney's book, "How I Went From Mild-Mannered Geek to Gay Superdad" hit the shelves three weeks ago. The story,centers on Jerry and his partner Drew Tappon's journey to conceive twins. Are readers giving a thumbs-up to Mahoney's first crack at memoir?
Said Leslie Ward on Amazon.com, "What a fantastic, funny book! I couldn't put it down. Jerry tells his family's story with such honesty and humor, you will find yourself laughing out loud, crying commiserate tears, and generally falling in love with Jerry, Drew, and the entire Tappon-Mahoney extended family. Thanks Jerry for sharing this great tale with the world! Amazon readers -- BUY THIS BOOK!"
Engrossed in surrogate mishaps, Mahoney's backfiring practical jokes, and humorous insights, even slow readers have stepped up the page turning pace through Mahoney's fatherhood adventure.
"This is an amazing story. I often have a hard time reading books quickly, but I flew through this book in a weekend. It's hilarious, relatable and bittersweet. The author expertly tells his tale of his youth, his coming-out and his unique adventure becoming a parent. I can't recommend it enough. . ." posted C. Browne on Amazon.com.
Children are also giving the green light to Mahoney's book, an anonymous reader on Amazon.com revealing, "I was pleasantly surprised that the book was really good. It was more sweet than funny, but worth keeping in the bookcase to read again (and again) later. My kids recognized the cover from his blog logo and asked me to read it several times for a good half hour each time. That's darn good for 6, 4, and 2 yr olds! My kids were fascinated with hearing the birth story of kids they "know". Their only complaint was that the book didn't have any pictures, so the kids and I scoured the author's website for pictures of the individuals, especially the newborn pictures. My only hiccup was that I occasionally had to change a word slightly to make the grown-up vocabulary more kid-acceptable when reading aloud. Some words are fine for a book meant for adult readers but really don't need to be repeated in front of the Pre-K teacher."
Goodreads.com has readers gushing about Mahoney's LGBT parenting story. Who better to give a review than Mahoney's partner?
Said Tappon, "I know, I know -- I'm a biased reviewer since I am lucky enough to be married to the guy who wrote this book -- and I'm, perhaps, a little-too-close-to-the-subject-matter, but I'm also relieved because it just saved me years from having to try (on my own) to recount the story of how we decided to become parents relying on my dim-witted brain. (Jerry is a much more reliable witness to the process.) I think what Jerry has done was turn a very personal story and elevated it to a big, funny, messy, hilarious roller-coaster ride (which is saying something because I don't usually like roller coasters!). Even though I knew the outcome all-too-well, the book felt suspenseful, nerve-wracking, emotional and uplifting (and I like 'uplifting' about as much as I like 'roller coasters'). It's a fast, conversational read that reminded me of the best elements of Augusten Burroughs, David Sedaris, David Leavitt and Sidney Sheldon. And I mean that Sidney Sheldon piece as a compliment. . ."
I spoke with Mahoney last month, in anticipation of his new book. Our two part interview is available by clicking on Mahoney.

Karouzakis, E; Gay, R E; Gay, S; Neidhart, M (2012). Increased recycling of polyamines is associated with global DNA hypomethylation in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts. Arthritis and Rheumatism, 64(6):1809-1817.

OBJECTIVE: Global DNA hypomethylation in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASF) contributes to their intrinsic activation. The aim is to explore that an increased polyamine metabolism is associated with a decreased level of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), causing the global DNA hypomethylation. METHODS: RASF (n = 12) and osteoarthritis synovial fibroblasts (OASF, n = 6) were isolated from synovial tissues. The cells were stained for adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AMD), spermine/spermidine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT1), polyamine modulated factor binding protein 1 (PMFBP1), solute carrier3A2 (SC3A2), DNA methyltransferase1 (Dnmt1), integrin α9, and β1, were analyzed by flow cytometry. Nuclear 5-methylcytosine (5-MeC) was measured by flow cytometry, diacetylspermine (DASp) in cell culture supernatants and cell extracts were determined by ELISA and SAM was measured in cell extracts by fluorometry. RESULTS: SSAT1, AMD and PMFBP1 were significantly (p < 0.05) increased in RASF, compared to OASF. DASp in cell culture supernatants and SC3A2 were significantly elevated (p < 0.01) in RASF. The levels of SAM in cell culture extracts, as well as of Dnmt1 protein and 5-MeC were significantly reduced (p < 0.001) in RASF. Parameters of the polyamines metabolism negatively correlated with SAM, Dnmt1 and 5-MeC. Supplementation of RASF with SAM increased Dnmt1 and 5-MeC, whereas integrin β1 was decreased. CONCLUSION: These data clearly show that intrinsic elevations of PMFBP1 and SSAT1 enhance the catabolism and recycling of polyamines in RASF and suggest that a high consumption of SAM by this pathway is an important factor contributing to the global DNA hypomethylation in these cells.

She's got legs, she knows how to use them -- and here's how to GET THEM!
Gwyneth Paltrow's latest GOOP newsletter details her ultra-strict diet; pre-workout, post-workout, lunch, snack and dinner, as well as her workout plan.
She adds: "I am not a good dieter and I cannot ever do it for long, only when there is a goal in sight."
In Hollywood, people train for a movie, a photo shoot, etc. Their goals are short sighted, not a lifestyle change.
It depends on what the individual wants, their personal goals, and the willpower to get there.
In the video below, her trainer Tracy Anderson reveals some of the moves Gwynnie says she used to get "the butt and legs I had always hoped for."

The first thing that pops in my mind when I think of Spain is tapas. In the sleepy town of Carmel, on San Carlos Street and just a few minutes walk from Hofsas House, lies Mundaka. Named after a town in northern Spain, it's a cozy restaurant with three dining rooms and a few tables to dine al fresco. The European dining experience is apparent with the cozy tables and bustling atmosphere. If you're new to the tapas experience, don't be nervous. Your server is there to answer all your questions and explain the dishes to you – just relax, enjoy, and eat at your own pace. Chef Brandon Miller's creations have been dazzling foodies near and far since March 2009.
Boquerones are marinated white anchovies with fried garlic. These were a touch too vinegary but the fillets were perfectly pristine in color and texture. I would get them again, but maybe with some sliced baguette. Thumbs up!
Garbanzos are fried and tossed in truffle salt; a perfect snack while your main dishes are coming out. Not as crunchy as a corn nut, but much tastier. The truffle salt was fantastic and worked well with the garbanzo flavor. Thumbs up, way up!
Datiles are bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese and almond. This was the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The goat cheese was creamy, but its flavor was muted. Thumbs up!
Tartare is beef tartare topped with a 6-minute egg and served with house chips. The chili oil gave it a little spicy kick. The 6-minute egg was an interesting touch, but would have preferred a raw yolk. The house chips were fantastic – light, crispy, and golden brown. Thumbs up!
Hamburguesa is a mini lamb burger with pickled cauliflower and served with truffle fries. Wow! I love this lamb slider. The flavor was just right, without any gaminess. The bun was soft, yet held together with the juicy burger. The truffle fries were good, but would have cooked them a tad longer for a crispier outside. Order one for each person as one bite is not enough and you'll wish you ordered one for yourself. Thumbs up, way up!
Escabeche is duck breast escabeche served with local vegetables and tarragon crème fraiche. The duck breast was perfectly cooked. Perfectly executed and flavor balanced dish - rich duck flavor, pickled red onions, and creamy crème fraiche. Thumbs up, way up!
Ravioli stuffed with ricotta and topped with braised venison. Well balanced ragout of braised venison. An egg yolk topper cut the tanginess of the ragout making it a smooth, textured flavor on the palate. The venison was tender and had no gaminess. Thumbs up, way up!
Huevos is soft scrambled egg with wild mushrooms and white Oregon truffle. Since we had just experienced the Big Sur Foragers Festival earlier in the day, I wanted to have more of fungi! This would be a great brunch item. The woodsy mushroom and truffle perfumed this dish. It is so luxurious! This would be perfect with a sprinkle of Queso Manchego. Thumbs up!
Pescado is a sanddab stuffed with fideo pasta, chirzo, and shellfish. The sanddab was perfectly cooked. The bones peeled right off leaving perfect fillets. The fideo pasta reminded me of orzo pasta. The sauce underneath provided a nice kick of heat, not too spicy, but flavorful. I loved the whole-fish presentation. It was so beautiful! Thumbs up, way up!
The cool night breeze will help guide you back to your hotel. You'll dream of this dining experience again and again.

Ok so I'm putting off the aforementioned post one more day. Instead, I wanted to review Los Tios Grill, a Tex-Mex restaurant in Del Ray, Alexandria. Jake and I are both pretty fond of Del Ray. It's such a cute little town and the main street vibe is absolutely precious. It's also got a little bit of quirk, which provides a nice compliment to Old Town.
There are also some great little restaurants in Del Ray and since they are off the beaten path, they usually aren't as crowded as Old Town. We got takeout from Los Tios once, but had never eaten inside and thought it would be a fun place to try with out of town visitors we had last weekend. To be fair, it was a Saturday night, but this place was humming! It was packed and everyone seemed like they were having a great time. There is a really fun vibe the minute you walk in the door and the owner, wait staff, and hostess are all incredibly nice and friendly.
They brought baskets of free chips and salsa right away and kept them coming for as long as we wanted them. The guacamole appetizer was delicious and our food was amazing. It probably didn't hurt that we had spent some time at the gym Saturday afternoon and we were starving! But I thought the helpings were quite generous and tasted delicious. I may have scarfed my food a little bit. I ordered the tacos and Jake had fajitas and we loved both.
The drink menu is a bit interesting and quite fun, they offer two sizes, normal and large. And the large is ginormous. You won't need another drink for the rest of the night! I'm not sure this picture really does the size justice.
The bill was a bit more expensive than I was expecting – mostly the fault of the bowl-sized drinks, but the food wasn't exactly cheap. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't expensive, especially by D.C. standards, but in my head Tex-Mex is always really cheap. Which is probably not a fair assumption. Anyways, we will definitely go back again, especially in the summer when you can get a margarita and sit outside on the patio. That sounds like the perfect recipe for a summer night, if I've ever heard one!
I hope you all get the chance to swing by Del Ray at some point and while you are there, maybe stop by Los Tios!

Hey, you want the inside scoop on Wonder Woman? Come closer. Oh sure, we all know that she had super strength, unbelievable acrobatic powers and stamina to spare, but did you know that Wonder Woman was, above all...fastidious? That eye for detail is paid homage to in the MAC Wonder Woman Penultimate Eyeliner ($20). This liner creates a precise, smooth carbon-black liquid line in super-human speed.
While they may not be Wonder Woman endorsed, there are plenty of Other Eyeliners out there to consider.
Name fail on MAC's part! Penultimate means next to the last. Are we to take it that this eyeliner isn't the worst, but second from the worst?

Carnival Glory Cruise Review by Vrydr: First time cruisers.
Overall Member Rating
First time cruisers.
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
My wife surprised me with a cruise for our anniversary, booking an Eastern Caribbean cruise with our local travel agent on Carnival Glory. Having never been on any cruise we went with an OPEN mind and were NOT disappointed!
We flew in to Miami the night before and had a shuttle to the port, easy and painless to get there and get in line to embark. Sure there was a line and some waiting but what the heck, your on vacation relax and anticipate the pleasure! We boarded and went to our room and dropped off our carry on luggage, room steward was VERY accommodating from the first day to the last. We explored the Glory a bit had a drink and then went to unpack. Our balcony room was clean, quiet and very comfortable.
Food.. was abundant and good, not 5 star but we weren't expecting that either. I have no complaints on the dining room (excellent in my opinion) buffet is a buffet is there really a reason to complain about crowding? Go earlier or later, problem solved. At sea More days we lounged on our balcony or roamed the ship, sitting at the pool at the adults only area or cruising the decks. Our ports were all beautiful, only wishing we had more time in each one.
We came away with a wonderful memory filled trip that we will definitely do again! If your loyal to a cruise line I can understand the differences if you cruise on another line. My advice? Stick with the one you like! I have researched all the lines and for my wife and I we are COMPLETELY satisfied with Carnival. The Glory was fun, I would sail her again or we will use one of her sister ships. We can't wait to do the western Caribbean...SOON! Less

Cabin review: 9B Premium Balcony
Lido Deck 9B, great balcony but room noisy at night sometimes, sounded like pumps running or something. Very clean, staff excellent. We were mid deck close to the hallway to the pool area and Red Frog bar. WE liked the location, easy to get to food, bar, pool, etc. Would book again.Read All Premium Balcony (9B) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
Grand Turk was our last port, so we didn't schedule an excursion. Once there we browsed the shops bought some things, went to the Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville had a drink. We took our items back to the ship and then hit the beach for the rest of the day. The most beautiful and not overly crowded beach we found on the cruise. I would come here again and again. Talked to some of the people that took tours and snorkeling etc. They had a wonderful time. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. AAA+ in our book.

Although genetic screening does seem to help identify people at risk for type 2 diabetes, current methods are just as effective.
In a couple of new studies, researchers looked at newly discovered "genetic variants" for an associated increased risk for type 2 diabetes. Results for both studies showed that the risk for type 2 diabetes increased with the more genetic variants found in the volunteers.
However, the screeening did little to outweight the benefit of traditional screening methods, which include family history, obesity and impaired glucose tolerance, according to diabetes researcher James B. Meigs, MD, MPH, of Massachusetts General Hospital.
"The genomic revolution is here, and it is possible to predict risk for diseases like diabetes by assessing genetic risk factors," says Meigs. "But this field is in its infancy. The message here is, 'stay tuned.'"

Between the $uper Bowl and the $uperb Bowl – the crop$
Opening day for legal pot is July 1 and Seattle is under-stashed.
Some storefronts have already come forward with warnings: Short supply means small baggies.
"Sorry fokes. Only an eighth per person per day until crops come in" is overheard around the 20 or so shops approved so far by the Liquor Control Board working out all the kinks in the next 2 weeks.
Reduced supply in a hot market always creates pressure - upward pressure on price. Uh oh.
Prices for an eighth of an ounce of good pot are rumored to hover in the $60 to $80 range when the stores open, about twice the price of black market bud.
Delivered to your door 24/7
Fresh flowers, hot pizza, Amazon books and now – Killer buds.
When demand outstrips supply, expect the unexpected to come busting out across the prairie like wild Oklahoma Sooners, whippin' that team of horses into wide-open territory for the taking.
Cruising alongside the Yellow cabs today in Seattle, ride-share service providers like Uber, Lyft and Sidecar are meeting pent-up demands. Pot delivery is becoming quite lucrative too. Though operating beyond the current changing law, companies like Winterlife and Club Racoons that deliver pot to homes have enjoyed quite a booming business in the interim.
There's an app for that
Two students at the University of Washington have responded in true entrepreneurial spirit. In their spare time, they created an app - Canary - to connect a client with a nearby rover – a mobile mj store.
According to Canary creator Josiah Tullis, "I think a service like this is inevitable." He is practical and pragmatic in his perspective:"Millennials today are very tech-savvy and pro-legalization and they're used to app-based services like Postmate and Uber."
Tullis views the role of his Canary as cooperative and mutually beneficial. "We actually don't see the existing dispensaries as competitors, we see them as customers," reflects Josiah. "We'd bring a lot of value to them with the app and we'd be willing to partner with them to offer their inventory on the Canary marketplace."
Is legalization on the horizon?
As more states move toward opening the gates on pot stores, we face changes at every turn. On Denver streets a green food-truck now delivers hearty and uplifting lunches, loaded with pot. Traditional PB&J, mac and cheese with a side of tomato soup?

African Studies
The African Studies minor is designed to offer students an opportunity to study about the African continent and its peoples through varied courses across the curriculum. The wealth and the diversity of cultures and experiences of African peoples and nations is the focus of these courses. In taking these courses with a focus on Africa, students are encouraged to critically examine the connections between African phenomena and the heritage that was carried over to the African diaspora in the Americas and other parts of the world. As a program that embraces international experience, it also encourages students to take advantage of opportunities that the college offers to study abroad in an African country.
African Studies is an interdisciplinary field that engages the historical, political, social, economic, and cultural experiences of Africans and peoples of African descent, as well as the aesthetic dimensions of these experiences through their art and literature. In that, the program enhances the educational development of students and enables them to develop an appreciation for the contributions that Africans have made to world history and civilization.

In some applications, an object's state can change outside a user's control--even while the user is editing the object's property window.
If the state of an object changes while a user is editing that object, display an alert box if the user tries to apply changes to the object. In that alert box, inform the user that the object's state has changed.
In alert boxes for informing users of object-state changes, provide text at least as specific as this:
Replace Object Name with the actual name of the changed object. If your application can detect how the object changed, display text that describes the change precisely.

Armstrong Apologizes to Livestrong, but Not for Drugs
A source has told the AP that Lance Armstrong apologized to the Livestrong staff "for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk but he did not make a direct confession to the group about using banned drugs." That confession is allegedly going to come later, in the form of an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Armstrong spent years warding off allegations of a massive doping scheme before the Tour de France stripped him of his seven medals last year. He's continued to insist on his innocence but texted the AP, "I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That's all I can say." Time will tell just how much of a confession Oprah, afamed confession-wrangler, can extract from him ...

WHY would Lance Armstrong apologize to Livestrong, or anyone else for that matter, for "drugs"? He never took drugs. He utilized blood doping. Drugs are not involved in blood doping. However, freshly oxygenated blood, a potential advantage over other athletes who do not use such tactics, is involved. (Keyword: potential.)

Hair loss is usually considered to be a concern of men, but can affect men and women. Scalp and facial hair (eyebrows, eye lashes, beard in men) contribute to the "self" that one wants to present to the world. (See The Psychosocial Significance of Hair). While some people losing their hair is easy to understand and for others it causes much concern, anxiety and stress.
No matter the cause, hair loss is a sensitive subject. With hair loss there are often thoughts of how it can be avoided, or corrected by medical or surgical treatment to make it appear that hair loss never occurred.
Hair Loss and Chemotherapy
Hair loss caused by chemotherapy to treat cancer is often the first outward sign that a person is dealing with the disease. Until the last two decades, it was customary for a patient dealing with chemotherapy related hair loss to remain secluded from society or cover their heads as to not attract attention or make others uncomfortable. Over the last decade or two, some cancer patients, cancer survivors and the medical professionals who treat them have made hair loss as a side effect of chemotherapy symbol of courage in their battle and desire to beat cancer. It is often seen as a hopeful sign of the road to recovery.
Among the first to present hair loss as a symbol of the fight against the disease were breast cancer patients and survivors (see http://www.breastcancer.org). Cancer patients and survivors who proudly display their hair loss include those with a variety of soft-tissue cancers, bone cancers, and Leukemia. Children are cancer patients and cancer survivors, also, and similar efforts have been organized in their behalf by charitable organizations such as the Childhood Leukemia Foundation (see http://www.clf4kids.org). While the most visible side effect of chemotherapy is hair loss, other side effects can include weight loss, nausea, pain, fatigue and loss of appetite.
When cancer patients and cancer survivors began to proudly present hair loss as a symbol of courage in their battle against cancer, the public increasingly accepted this symbol of courage manifested by the children and adults who faced pain and death and intended to survive.
The Patient's View
A patient who is experiencing hair loss as a consequence of disease and a side effect of chemotherapy may not worry about their hair loss, may wear it as a symbol to motivate them in their fight against the disease, but they may also have reasons to moderate the esthetic effect of balding. Reasons to moderate the effect may be associated with family, occupation or inter-personal relationships.
When hair loss is due to chemotherapy, it is important for the patient to know that the hair loss will likely be temporary. Hair will grow back at the end of the chemotherapy treatment period, usually beginning a few weeks after treatment ends. The American Cancer Society offers comprehensive information regarding chemotherapy, its side effects, and how side effects can be ameliorated (see http://www.cancer.org.
Patients should be prepared for some differences in the appearance of their hair when it grows back. When hair begins to grow again after chemotherapy, the new hair may have a different texture or color for up to a year. In most cases, hair will return to its pre-treatment appearance.
During the period between hair loss and re-growth, the patient may choose to take measures that disguise hair loss. Consultation with a cosmetologist experienced in managing hair problems of chemotherapy patients may be helpful.
Interim measures between hair loss and re-growth include head coverings such as scarves, hats or caps. For some patients the appearance of a full head of hair during the treatment and re-growth is desired and wigs offer a good solution. A patient should check with his/her insurance plan to see if the cost of a wig will be wholly or partially covered. A patient who has adequate warning as to when chemotherapy is to begin may have a wig prepared in advance of treatment.
Hair is a salient element in the way we want to appear to ourselves and to others. Hair loss due to chemotherapy is now better understood and whatever the patient solution to this condition caused by the treatment of cancer, it is accepted as the appearance of a survivor and a champion.
