Kirbx, Khaos is about 10x more entertaining than you have been or ever will be, so you're really not in any position to criticize his posting habits.
Right Mercutio!?
what does the eye meter entail about our opposing man's strength, stature, and ability to molest our plans that may seem quite malodorous and menacing to others, but benefit ourselves, in the form of tiers and gauges?

July 23, 2009 | Tom Tritton
By now most readers will have heard about the 9 July Pew Research Center report on the attitudes of Americans on science and scientists. At one level the news is good: Americans hold scientists in high esteem and believe science contributes to our economic well-being.
At another level, though, the Pew report reveals the seeds of future problems: scientists think other folks don't know enough about science, and all Americans become wary of one another on tender issues like evolution and climate change.
The latter point on ideological division mirrors the way contemporary society deals with all manner of challenges: draw a line in the sand, and line up people on one side or the other. The antidote is to resist the idea that everything can be reduced to simple categorization lacking in nuance, subtlety, and intricacies of understanding.
On the matter of general scientific understanding, you might like to try out the Science Knowledge Quiz administered by Pew as part of the study. My hunch is that anyone who reads Periodic Tabloid would likely achieve 100% correct answers, but take a look for yourself. The survey showed a broad scoring range among the citizenry at large, but please let me know if I'm overestimating how much scientifically educated people actually know.

Welcome all to the Snake Pit, home to an exotic, dangerous and occasionally sensual type of anthros. Take a look around and enjoy your visit.
Club Rules:
1.- Only anthropomorphic snakes or nagas will enter this gallery. This means, snakes with human characteristics or snake body and human torso.
Regular snakes and medusas (women with serpents instead of hair) do not enter.
Other animal anthros may appear in the gallery, as long as they are interacting with a snake one.
2.- Nudity is allowed, with the following condition: it must be tasteful. This depends mostly on the pose and attitude displayed by the character. Playfulness, comedic situations, naughtiness and even scenes portraying seduction are some examples. But I will not accept blatantly sexual behavior.
3.- Vore, swallowing people whole, is not permitted. I know this is one of a snake's characteristics, but I'd rather not display it in this gallery. And while I'm on the subject, the same goes for bulging stomachs. I'm not bothered by these two subjects, but I'm not too keen on them either.
4.- Battle scenes are ok, providing they are not too violent. This means, no excessive ammount of blood and absolutely no gore. Hunting is also permitted, after all, snakes are predators. Just as long as it doesn't break this rule.
Just send me a message on put a comment on my user's page. It's that simple
To submit, simply send a copy of your work to my e-mail address, either Yahoo or MSN, and I'll take care of the rest. Please include the picture's description when you send it.

On Saturday, January 11, 2014, New Orleans Saints' quarterback Drew Brees will lead his team onto CentryLink Field in the hope of avenging an ugly regular season loss against the Seattle Seahawks. The Saints limped out of town that day after suffering a humbling 34-7 defeat. That game was five weeks ago and the Saints have had ample time to regroup and focus on the core fundamentals of their game.
On that account, Drew Brees is no stranger to the importance of maintaining a strong core and began incorporating Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) into his workouts a few years back. "Think about what's working when you're on that board – in order for you to balance out on open ocean, everything has got to be working. Your lower extremities are working extremely hard just to balance. You're in this constant state of just flexion. Your glutes are working, your hammies, your calves, your feet, your ankles – everything", said Brees in an interview with Askmen.com last fall. As anyone who has paddled knows, SUP is a fantastic core workout. Your body burns calories at a much higher rate while paddling a SUP than it does while running. That along with the elimination of the chronic wear and tear on your lower body makes SUP more than just a healthy alternative. Brees went on to say, "If you actually get into the paddling, think about the rotational element with your core. If you go out and you paddle with some intensity for 30-45 minutes, the next day you are going to be hurting."
As the sport of SUP continues to grow in popularity the market has been flooded with a wide variety of products from which to choose. For true fitness enthusiasts, a board with a displacement hull is likely a better option as the shape will afford a better glide and greater paddling efficiency compared to a traditional surf shape. Some large corporate manufactures make a variety of water sports equipment in addition to SUPs. Others, such as rider owned 404 SUP, are small businesses designing and building boards specifically for the SUP market and are directly involved in furthering the sustainable growth of the sport. Whatever your choice and wherever you paddle, incorporating SUP into your regular workout routine is guaranteed to give you the results you seek. Drew Brees is known for embracing an active lifestyle and has wholeheartedly endorsed SUP as a way to stay in shape. He isn't the only NFL player to take up the sport, however… Members of the Seattle Seahawks were spotted cross training on SUPs in Redondo Beach, CA this past summer. No matter what the outcome is on the field in the game tomorrow, we already have a winner. Hurray for SUP!

Pixar is owned by Disney as of 2014, making it part of a behemoth of modern animation. It did not take long for Pixar to become as iconic as Disney. It is a name as synonymous with modern, top-quality animation as Disney is with nostalgia and old-fashioned family entertainment.
Since companies as iconic as Pixar do not come about very often, a look at the history of Pixar sheds some light on why the studio has been so successful.
The movie industry was in flux during the first few years of the 1970s. The old Hollywood studio system was no longer relevant, and major studios were not sure how to appeal to younger audiences. They also faced difficulties adapting to a changing culture. While this led to some great films from directors such as Martin Scorsese and Robert Altman, it did not take long for a new Hollywood blockbuster paradigm to emerge. This all began with "Jaws" in 1975 and "Star Wars" in 1977.
"Star Wars" was such a game-changer that director George Lucas became one of the industry's biggest figures. However, by the time "Star Wars" was released, the filmmaker already had his own production company, Lucasfilm, which he founded in 1971. Lucas correctly saw computer technology as crucial to the future of film, and he hired Edwin Catmull to run the company's computer division in 1979.
At the time, Catmull was the director of the New York Institute of Technology's Computer Graphics Lab, an entity that was gaining notoriety for innovating early computer animation techniques. After hiring Catmull, Lucasfilm became an industry leader in computer and visual effects. In 1983, former Disney animator John Lasseter joined the Lucasfilm computer graphics team. Along with Catmull and fellow computer animation pioneer Alvy Ray Smith, Lasseter helped produce the animated short "The Adventures of André and Wally B."
Produced in 1984, this cartoon featured complex, computer-rendered characters, environments and movement. The work gained attention from both the film and computer industries. In 1986, Steve Jobs made a deal to buy the computer graphics division wholesale from Lucasfilm for $5 million. At this time the company took on the name "Pixar" and produced the short "Luxo Jr."
This short, which featured anthropomorphized desk lamps, was the first film produced under the Pixar name. A huge hit at that year's SIGGRAPH computer exhibition, the Lasseter-directed "Luxo Jr." featured not only innovative computer animation but also boundless charm and humor. These elements quickly became hallmarks of Pixar's work.
In its early years as a company, Pixar continued to produce shorts. However, it focused on selling its high-end Pixar Image Computer. Marketed as a device to enable powerful and complex computer imaging for various industries, the machine cost well over $100,000, and this figure does not include the hefty price of additional necessary hardware. While the price went down drastically over the next few years, Pixar did not have much success selling hardware. Eventually, Jobs sold the computer division in 1990.
In 1991, Disney helped keep Pixar in business by contracting the small company to produce three animated features. Pixar produced "Toy Story" as its first feature. The movie was inspired by the 1988 short "Tin Toy," which was written and directed by Lasster. Although the production was lengthy and plagued by various problems, Disney released "Toy Story" in 1995 to enormous success. Its success was largely attributed to a fantastic script and the casting of actors who were perfect for their roles.
Over the next few years, Disney and Pixar continued to work together, producing hit animated features including "A Bug's Life" and "Monsters, Inc." The 2003 release of "Finding Nemo" saw unprecedented box office success for an animated movie. It also won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. All of these films managed huge box office success, but they were also met with ecstatic reception from critics. From "Toy Story" on, Pixar developed a reputation not only for groundbreaking visual work but also for crafting entertaining, poignant and timeless family pictures.
In 2006, Disney solidified its partnership with Pixar by purchasing the company. John Lasseter and Ed Catmull retained important positions at Pixar, continuing to guide the studio toward producing some of the best animated movies in history. After Disney's purchase of Pixar, the release of films like "Ratatouille," "WALL-E" and "Up" confirmed that the magic of Pixar is here to stay.

WICHITA, Kan. - Senior right-hander Justin Ziegler blanked Wichita State on four hits over 8.0 innings, but it still was not enough to break Bradley's road hex against the Shockers. Erik Harbutz drove home Tyler Baker with a 2-out single in the 10th inning, lifting Wichita State (31-22, 9-8 MVC) to a 1-0 victory against the Braves (25-21-1, 8-12 MVC) Saturday afternoon at Eck Stadium.
Wichita State has won 28 consecutive home games against Bradley and the Braves matched their longest skid of the season with their fourth consecutive loss. Bradley has either held the lead or been tied going into the ninth inning in three of the four losses in the current skid.
Ziegler turned in the best start of his career, scattering four singles with no walks and five strikeouts in the longest start of his career. The Shockers got only one runner to second base through the first seven innings against Ziegler and were 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position against the Bradley starter.
Wichita State starter Kris Gardner was equally tough, however, also allowing only four singles with one walk and four strikeouts in 8.1 innings. Cale Elam (5-4) earned the win by getting the final five outs.
Bradley's best chance to score came in the third inning when David Compitello hit a 2-out single, advanced to second on an outfield error then tried to score on a Chris Godinez single. Left fielder Mikel Mucha made up for his error one play earlier by gunning down Compitello at the plate.
Bradley reliever Rob Kennedy (0-4) worked around a 2-out single and 2-base fielding error by center fielder Max Murphy in the ninth inning, but could not escape a leadoff single in the 10th. After a base hit, failed sacrifice and ground out, the Shockers had a runner at second base with two outs. The base runner, Baker, advanced to third on a balk, then scored the walk-off run on Harbutz's single to left.
Bradley will try to avoid the weekend sweep when the Braves close out the series with a 1 p.m. game Sunday at Eck Stadium. Senior lefthander Tory Doerr (4-2) is expected to face off against Shockers freshman righthander AJ Ladwig (4-1) in the Sunday finale.

Dallas yesterday took it to the streets to express people's frustration with the Nigerian ordeal where more than 270 school girls, between the ages of 13 and 18, both Muslim and Christian, remain unaccounted for after they had been kidnapped by an Islamist extremists.
The rally in Dallas was on Mother's Day, where more than 100 people participated. Many were women, standing in solidarity with the Nigerian mothers whose daughters have been abducted a month ago from their school dorms while they were sleeping in the middle of the night.
The group who is accused of the abductions is "Boko Haram" which translates into "Western education is a sin." This militant group has made several announcements about the destiny of the girls who are still under abduction (more than 50 already managed to escape). It has announced that the girls are being sold in slavery. Its latest announcement today was that it was willing to exchange these girls with members of the Boko Haram who are in Nigerian prisons.
Hence, their so called Islamic ideals are only excuses for their ugly crime! Even though their original claim was that they were opposed to the Western education in Nigeria based on religious reasons, now it's clear that this group is like any other Islamist group, and has political agendas. Such people use the cloak of religion to commit crimes that the very essence of Islam opposes.
Many people around the globe have called for Muslims to condemn the kidnapping. As usual, Muslims are put under the spotlight whenever trouble makers use the name of Islam to stir fear and terror. But the same people never ask Christians, for example, to condemn every single crime committed by Christians every day. We get the picture, and I am not going to dwell on this point any further.
We Muslims do condemn all acts of terror committed with or without the name of religion. What this extremist group has done is not only contrary to Islamic ethics but is also a major crime that is punishable under Islamic laws. Kidnapping is a major offense in Islam. Human trafficking is another major crime that Islam has worked since the 7th century to stop it.
We are not here in a clash of civilization; what Islam teaches is the very same moral ethics that modernity and civility call for. Neither kidnapping nor human trafficking is accepted in either civilizations. So it is up to us, the global community, to reject these and similar crimes as one voice, beyond our theological and cultural differences.
This is what the Mother's Day Rally participants had in mind when they gathered yesterday holding signs that said 'bring back the girls,' and 'real men don't buy girls.' They voiced their opinions in the most civilized and fashionable way. People from different faith traditions participated, including three Muslims who stood at the podium and voiced their opinions on the matter.
Alia Salem, Executive Director of CAIR, mentioned after her speech, "I am so grateful to be allowed to be a part of so much good work!! Now the real work begins. Please call your state and federal representatives to take action on all cases of sex and human trafficking especially including this latest incident. Sitting on social media and sharing this stuff won't bring back any girls."
Salem echoed a deep Muslim American concern about human trafficking that other organizations like the Texas Muslim Women's Foundation have previously addressed. Hers reflects the Muslim American opinion that condemns any forms of violence and gender abuse. To this, I add our concern for the education of girls, Muslim and non-Muslims. Knowing what Nigeria gave birth to throughout history, I am deeply saddened to wonder about the future of these kidnapped girls.
Nigeria was the home of a famous Muslim woman in the 19th century. Nana Asma'u Fodio (1793-1864) was a scholar, poet, educator and advisor who was born in Degel (Nigeria today). She developed a practical and methodical system through poetry for the education of women in rural areas. Asmau' also formed a cadre of older educated women of good character that would be trained to use her poetry as lessons plans to instruct secluded women about details of Islamic worship/ manners. She influenced her community and many generations after her and beyond her geography. She became a hafizah of Quran. She was fluent in four languages. She became her brother's trusted advisor when he became caliph (religious leader of the state).
Another example of what the education of Nigeria resulted in is Dr. Ayesha Mje-Tei Imam, a Nigerian born sociologist who currently lives in Senegal. She is a researcher, educator, and advisor on women's rights, gender issues, and Islamic law. At the spirit of her activism is that "the spirit of Islam is the basic protection of women's rights based on the Quran and the prophetic tradition." She believes that the way Islamic law is currently applied is based on a misinterpretation of the provisions of Islamic law. These misinterpretations originate from pre-Islamic prejudices and deep rooted cultural beliefs which ultimately affect the process and implementation of such laws. Such misinterpretation undermines the legitimacy of the Shariah by being discriminatory against women. Dr. Imam has founded several women and feminist organizations in Nigeria. For example, BAOBAB for women's Human rights is an organization that empowers women by providing them with means to access their Islamic rights. It is worthy to mention that Dr. Imam is the daughter of Dr. Abubakar Imam, a prominent writer, journalist, and activist in the years leading to Nigeria's independence from Great Britain in 1960. She credits her father for teaching her to respect principles.
These Nigerian women made a powerful impact in their society, and so would the kidnapped girls have done if they were given a chance to finish their education. Bring back the girls…

Trans-Fat Free, Yeah Right!
A lot of food producers now claim their products are "trans-fat free," but health experts are still urging consumers to be leery of those nutrition facts. Amy Norton of Reuters explains:
Don't worry there's not a lot of deceptive labeling going on in the produce isle.
In a sampling of packaged foods at a local Wal-Mart, researchers at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis found that a majority of margarines and butters, cookies, cakes and snack foods had gone trans fat free.These shyster tactics are pretty typical, but don't take my word for it—again, I'm just a dopey blogger—Dr. Fuhrman's friend Jeff Novick, MS, RD explains. Watch and learn:
However, a number of products still had substantial amounts of the fat, the researchers report in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
For example, three of 40 brands of chips, crackers and popcorn contained at least 3 grams of trans fat per serving, according to the products' labels.
So, despite the food industry's move toward cutting trans fat, consumers still need to check labels, according to the researchers, led by graduate student Matthew J. Albers.
Trans fat has become notorious because it not only raises "bad" LDL cholesterol, but also lowers heart-protective HDL cholesterol. The main source of trans fat in the diet is the partially hydrogenated oil used in many commercially prepared baked and fried foods -- including cookies, crackers, chips, breads and french fries.
Don't worry there's not a lot of deceptive labeling going on in the produce isle.

Mobile industry giants to adopt universal chargers for phones by 2012
The GSM Association announced that it has gathered 17 important mobile companies in order to develop and implement a universal charging solution (UCS) for cell phones, by 2012.
More exactly, GSMA wants all mobile phones (or at least most of them) to be charged via a standardized solution that would use Micro USB as its charging interface. This should reduce standby energy consumption with up to 50%, and eliminate up to 51,000 tons of duplicate chargers.
And, needless to say, it would make our lives simpler, since we'll be able to charge our handsets with any charger – even if it's from a device made by a different manufacturer.
The companies that gave their endorsement for the UCS project are: Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, AT&T, Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, Telefónica, Telstra, Telenor, Hutchison's 3, KTF, Telecom Italia, mobilkom Austria and Qualcomm.
As you can see, Apple and HTC (to name just two other important companies) don't seem to be interested in using a universal mobile charger – for the moment, at least.

The Dalai Lama has over 1.2 million 'likers' of his Facebook page. It's probably maintained by assistants I'd guess, but it seems to be official in that it has inside information on his travels, schedule, and seems to be real messages from him.
Anyway, he wrote recently about the relationship between goodness and religious belief...
"My belief is that the various religious traditions have great potential to increase compassion, the sense of caring for one another, and the spirit of reconciliation. However, I believe that a human being, without religious faith, can be a very good person - sincere, a good heart, having a sense of concern for others - without belief in a particular religious faith."
We Humanists would agree! :)

Portrait of people I met during my 5 days in Nepal
Photography has always accompanied me on my travels. From my very first trip in Cuba in 1986, with my father's Olympus Camera I took my first steps, in this amazing creative experience. I have not yet found my personal style in photography. What interests me being a passionate photographer, is to continue to experience that strange and magic sensation which captivates me when I arrive in a new place in which I immerse myself, almost transported by a profound desire to listen and smell what surrounds me. Faces and forms which have the capability to make me feel at times far from reality, in a sate of lightness and alienation which favours the capability to capture that very special moment in time in the photograph. Exploring details, facial expressions, architecture, render my travels even more stimulating and enjoyable. Someone said that the people are the greatest show in the world and you don't have to buy a ticket !!

Hi All,
I'm new to protein backbone assignment by NMR, and my protein is about ~37kDa (about 400 residues). We've acquired a series of triple resonance spectra: HNCA, HNCACB, HNCOCACB, HNCOCA, and HNCACO. I also have an HQCS spectrum. While I know how magnetization is transferred in the above mentioned experiment, how do I start assigning my protein? I use NMRpipe to process the spectra and Sparky for assignment.
Thanks a lot!

Have a look on this good website: http://www.protein-nmr.org.uk/ - Yoan Monneau (Jun 29 '12 at 05:27)
Have you tried using PINE-SPARKY? I haven't used it myself (I do metabolomics, not protein structures), but I've come across it a few times looking for software. It seems to help you by doing semi-automated assignments.
Hope this helps!

College Hockey:No. 3 BU ties No. 7 Maine
Coyle's late goal is the equalizer
BOSTON — It may have been early November, but this matchup between two talented teams had the feel of a playoff game in March.
A crowd of 6,150 at Agganis Arena relished a see-saw 2-2 tie between seventh ranked Maine and No. 3 Boston University, which now finds itself alone with Yale as the only two unbeaten teams in the nation.
After squandering a 1-0 lead and falling behind 2-1, the Terriers tied it on an extra-attacker goal by freshman Charlie Coyle with 1:21 remaining in regulation.
Maine defenseman Jeff Dimmen had the only multiple-point game, notching a goal and an assist. Maine goalie Dan Sullivan and BU netminder Kieran Millan both had strong nights, with Sullivan making 28 saves while Millan made 34.
"If you were an innocent bystander, it was a great college hockey game to watch," BU head coach Jack Parker said. "It was really exciting; there were lots of great plays. There were a lot of good players showing what they could do and great goaltending by both kids."
While letting the win slip away was disappointing for Maine, getting a point on the road was still satisfying—especially given that top power-point defenseman Will O'Neil was lost to a lower body injury on the second shift of the game. Maine was already without forward Tanner House, and forward Joey Diamond missed much of the later portion of the game with an injury as well.
"We were proud of how the guys competed," Black Bears head coach Tim Whitehead said. " To come back down 1-0 was great. Tough bounce on the second [BU goal]—knocked off of a couple of shin pads—so we had to shake that off, and we did. We had a couple of good chances in OT. Overall, considering House and losing O'Neill on the second shift and losing Diamond in the third with an injury, we were pleased."
Maine went on a two-man advantage less than two minutes into the game, but the Terriers' penalty kills was resolute all night. In fact, BU has now killed off 22 straight penalties and 36 of the last 37. Maine ended up with an 8-4 shot advantage in the first, but that was deceptive: BU had a flurry of chances around the 14-minute mark, but many shots missed the net.
The Terriers also missed out on a highlight-reel goal late in the period when David Warsofsky and Coyle set up Chris Connolly on the doorstep, only to have Sullivan make the save.
The Black Bears dominated early in the second, outshooting BU 10-1 before Parker used his timeout at 8:44. "Even though we only got four shots in the first period, I thought were playing real well," Parker said. "In the first 12 minutes of the second period, I thought Maine was taking it to us and we were standing around watching. So it was 'Hey guys, let's pick it up here instead of waiting around for something bad to happen.'"
Maine nearly scored right after the timeout, when Brian Flynn set up Robby Dee for a shot that caught the underside of the crossbar. After that, though, BU picked it up. On a power play at 15:51, they took the lead. Adam Clendening fed it to Alex Chiasson in the slot, and Chiasson's decision to forego the shot to pass to Connolly in the left-wing circle surprised everybody.
"Alex created that whole play," Connolly said. "I don't know how he saw me with his back turned, but he did. The goalie thought he was going to shoot, so I had a wide open net. That made my job easy."
BU almost made it 2-0 on a five-on-three early in the third. In fact, co-captain Joe Pereira seemed adamant that the puck was in the net at one point, but it was ruled no goal after a video review. There was some sense that a Maine defender had covered a puck with his glove and that there should've been a penalty shot as a result. However, the review process can only be used to determine if a goal was scored, and that could not be confirmed.
Less than a minute later, Maine tied it up. Dimmen shot from the point, and Millan yielded a rare rebound. Gustav Nyquist pounced on it and buried it. Then Maine took the lead on Dimmen's goal at 6:12. "It just squirted out there in the slot," Dimmen said. "There was some pretty good traffic in the slot. I tried to get it off quick, and the puck had some eyes. It was nice."
Maine almost clinched it at 12:50 when Millan was stricken with wanderlust. While he seemed in no hurry to get back in the net, Flynn couldn't get it by a defender in the crease.
BU tied it at 18:39, shortly after Millan was pulled for the extra attacker. Warsofsky threw the puck into the slot for the right point. It appeared to carom off a Maine defender and a BU player before Joe Pereira nudged it to Coyle, who backhanded it in.
The Terriers looked spent in the overtime but hung on for the tie. "I was really impressed with Maine's defensive corps," Parker said. "They did a really good job in front of the net, and they were really good with the puck. Everybody talks about how good Maine is offensively, but I think their defense as a group is really underrated."
Parker eschewed the notion that BU should be the number-one team in the nation, but losses by Miami and Minnesota-Duluth could make that happen on Monday afternoon. The Terriers' eight-game unbeaten streak to start the season is now second only to the 1977-78 national championship team in program history. BU (6-0-2 overall, 4-0-2 in Hockey East) faces Merrimack in a home-and-home series next weekend, while Maine (4-1-3, 2-0-1) hosts Northeastern for a pair.

Eyes of Pomatiopsis lapidaria
The 1st detailed account of the little semi-terrestrial snail Pomatiopsis lapidaria was published by William Stimpson (1832-1872) in 1865. Stimpson's descriptions of the anatomy and behavior of Pomatiopsis lapidaria are surprisingly accurate. For example, he described the snail's eye as follows.
The eye is situated on the outer side of a rather prominent swelling out or protuberance of the head at the base of the tentacle. On the upper and inner side of these protuberances there is a conspicuous longitudinal fusiform spot of flake-white or yellow, which is a prominent character, probably, however, of specific importance only.When I first read this passage, I was on the train home. I put a note on the margin of the paper to remind myself to check this in my photographs of Pomatiopsis lapidaria. Sure enough, an elongated, yellowish band is clearly visible above each eye in the pictures showing the heads of the snails I photographed.
I don't know what exactly those spots are and what function, if any, they may have. The "pigment layer" lining the eye chamber of Pomatiopsis lapidaria that Dundee (1957) mentioned may have been the same structure. Davis (1967) referred to them as "glandular units".
Here is the entire picture showing the rest of the snail. The whitish oval plate on the snail's foot below the shell is its operculum.

Joel Sharratt is taking off from the head wrestling coaching position at one military academy to another.
Sharratt, who had been in charge of the Air Force Academy wrestling program the past eight years, will be taking the helm at the U.S. Naval Academy, Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk announced Friday.
It's a homecoming of sorts for former University of Iowa wrestling champ Sharratt, who served as an assistant coach at Navy for six seasons under former head coach Bruce Burnett, who had announced his retirement effective October 2013 after 13 seasons.
"Joel's leadership, respect by peers, extraordinary accomplishments, and passion for wrestling are reflected in every step of his career," said Gladchuk. "He returns to the Naval Academy a seasoned professional who is a proven master of his profession. Thirteen years of developing winners and leaders to serve our nation have given him a unique perspective of how to succeed at a service academy. He is a perfect fit for Navy and we have every expectation his tenure in Annapolis will be one of great academic and athletic success for our midshipmen."
"It's an honor to be back at the Naval Academy building leaders of character who are ready to serve our country," said Sharratt. "I want to acknowledge Mr. Gladchuk and the institution for their support of me and the Navy wrestling program. It's a great honor to take over such a historic program and after meeting with the team and staff today, I feel very excited about the opportunities the program has in the future. I look forward to reconnecting with the Naval Academy alumni base, former wrestlers and fans."
Sharratt became Air Force coach in the summer of 2006. Just two years later, Sharratt was named Western Wrestling Conference Coach of the Year. In 2012, Sharratt was named the College Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
This past season, Sharratt led the Falcons to an 11-6-3 record and a third-place finish at the NCAA West Regional, sending four Falcons to the 2014 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.
As a wrestler at Iowa for the legendary Dan Gable, Sharratt was a four-year letterman. The Bloomington, Minn. native was a three-time NCAA finalist, winning the 190-pound title at the 1994 NCAAs… and was crowned 190 champ at the 1995 Big Ten conference championships.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Andy Pettitte faced off against former AL
East rival Derek Lowe in another memorable pitcher's duel. Only
this time, they met in the serene setting of Dodger Stadium, not
the frenzied atmosphere of Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park.
Pettitte outdueled Lowe with eight stellar innings, and Craig
Biggio hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth to lead the Houston
Astros over Los Angeles 2-1 Friday night.
Pettitte and Lowe were integral components of the New York
Yankees-Red Sox rivalry in recent years, but this matchup had far
less drama with the Dodgers starting the day 6½ games out in the NL
West and the Astros fighting for a wild-card berth.
"I faced him a number of times when he was in Boston, so I know
he's a great pitcher and I knew he was going to be tough,"
Pettitte said. "He had it going tonight, also."
Pettitte and Lowe started against each other for the fourth
time, including Game 2 of the 2003 AL championship series, when
Pettitte's Yankees beat Lowe's Red Sox 6-2 at New York. They split
their other two regular-season matchups, with Pettitte winning 3-1
at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 4, 2002, and Lowe winning 4-3 at Fenway
Park on April 15, 2002.
"I wasn't thinking about that," said Houston ace Roger
Clemens, Pettitte's former Yankees teammate. "It's just good to
see Andy going strong. And he had just enough tonight, which was
good to see."
Pettitte (12-9) allowed one run and six hits while striking out
seven and walking one. Pitching a year and two days after elbow
surgery that ended his first season with the Astros, he lowered his
ERA to 2.60, the best in the majors among left-handers.
"It was not a reconstruction on the elbow, so I thought he'd
come back from it and pitch well this year, so I'm not surprised,"
Astros manager Phil Garner said. "What surprises me is that his
control had been is as good as it has been. Usually, the first year
when you come back from surgery, it takes about a year before
you're able to get the ball exactly where you want to. But he's
done a pretty good job of locating pitches."
Lowe (8-13) allowed two runs and seven hits in eight innings
with five strikeouts and two walks. The right-hander, who has one
more loss that he had last season with the World Series champion
Red Sox, matched Pettitte step for step until Biggio hit his 18th
homer into the lower seats in the left-field corner on an 0-1
changeup with one out in the eighth.
"It was a good pitcher's duel, but it would have been tough to
waste that pitching performance by Andy," said Biggio, whose homer
was only his second on the road. "The biggest thing with Andy was
getting his velocity back. Everybody in here knew that once he did,
you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that
cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it
then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he
started getting it up to 90-91."
Pettitte took a 1-0 lead into the seventh before Olmedo Saenz
led off with a drive into the pavilion seats in right-center on a
2-0 pitch for his 13th homer -- two more than his previous career
high with Oakland in 1999.
"I knew Saenz was a real good hitter and he's got some serious
power," Pettitte said. "I was just extremely frustrated after he
hit that ball out because I thought it was real good pitch -- a
two-seamer down and away. I fell behind, he probably knew I was
going away with it, and he squared it up good."
Brad Lidge got his 31st save in 34 chances and 15th straight,
striking out three in the ninth -- including pinch-hitter Ricky
Ledee with runners at first and second.
The Astros were held to fewer than three runs for the eighth
time in 13 games and stranded two runners at third base. But they
still managed to send Los Angeles to its fifth loss in six games
and fourth straight against Houston. The Dodgers a season-worst 14
games under .500 (57-71).
After striking out the side on 12 pitches in the first, Pettitte
gave up two one-out singles in the second. But first baseman Mike
Lamb went to his right to make a diving catch of Mike Edwards' line
drive and doubled up Jason Phillips at second with a one-hop throw
while still on his knees.
"It was a fun game to pitch in," Lowe said. "You could see it
early when he struck out the side in the first that Andy had his
good stuff."
Houston's starting rotation leads the majors with a 3.47 ERA.
The Astros began Friday with three of the top six in the NL:
Pettitte, Roy Oswalt (2.68) and Clemens (1.56), who leads the
majors with a 1.56 mark. All three are pitching in this series.<
"When you face the likes of Andy Pettitte, Roy Oswalt and Roger
Clemens, your guy has to be equal to the task," Dodgers manager
Jim Tracy said. "Derek Lowe was that, and then some."
Game notes
The Astros, who swept a three-game series from the Dodgers
last month in Houston, have given up the fewest runs in the majors.
... Pettitte is 9-2 in his last 13 starts.

Congratulations to Penumbra Theatre artistic director Lou Bellamy and his team for finding a way out of the financial morass that forced the cancellation of Penumbra's fall season. Bolstered by $359,000 in contributions from 1,400 individuals and corporations, the theater relaunches this month with SPUNK, a play by George C. Wolfe based on Three Tales by Zora Neale Hurston.
"All of our work will continue to have a social justice component," says Bellamy. "We do good work—acting, production values. But that's just the opening gambit. There has to be a deeper element. That won't change."
SPUNK is set during the Harlem Renaissance, but, he says, "There's a rural component to it. It's about the journey that came to be called the Great Migration [1910–1930, when 1.3 million blacks came north]. They changed city life and brought music. They even changed the language."
Directed by Atlanta-based director/ choreographer Patdro Harris, this mixture of storytelling, dance, and the blues features a roster of Penumbra regulars, including Jevetta Steele, Dennis W. Spears, T. Mychael Rambo, and Austene Van.
"Our work needs to become more multifaceted," Bellamy says about the challenges going forward. "We need to maintain our honest look at the world. But we have to make it more popular and sell it. That's the challenge with any social justice theater." March 14–April 7. Penumbra Theatre, 270 N. Kent St., St. Paul, 651-224-3180, penumbratheatre.org

Updated Miami Dolphins depth chart – half a draft version
In my humble opinion, Randy Starks can move mountains. I've seen him move plenty of them (NFL left tackles, the coaching staff's opinion of him) in the two seasons he's played for the Miami Dolphins.
That's why I'm buying what the Dolphins were selling in Friday night's disclosure that Starks will become Miami's starting nose tackle. It's a move that somewhat explains the team's approach in the 2010 draft.
It means Starks will be called on to hold down the fort for Jason Ferguson in the first eight games of the season, proving he's a good fit for the spot much like Jay Ratliff was when he took over for an injured Ferguson back in 2007, eventually transforming himself from a backup defensive end into a starting nose tackle.
It also means Phillip Merling will be elevated into a possible starter role he must earn by holding off Jared Odrick, the team's first-round pick, Tony McDaniel, Lionel Dotson, and others. But don't be surprised if the Dolphins add a few more defensive line pieces in the final day of the 2010 draft.
Before we pick apart what's left in this draft I think it's a good idea to breakdown a revised version of the Dolphins depth chart (while I'm waiting for the medication to kick in….and the wife's sleeping and can't scream at me for touching the laptop, which is forbidden).
QB (4) – Chad Henne, Tyler Thigpen, Pat White, Chad Pennington (injured).
Since Buffalo hasn't addressed their quarterback needs I'm figuring Thigpen is either moved today, or he's here to stay. And since General Manager Jeff Ireland said it would take a lot for him to do a trade within his division I suspect Thigpen can unpack.
RB (6) – Ronnie Brown (TENDER NOT SIGNED), Ricky Williams, Patrick Cobbs (injured), Lex Hilliard, Kory Sheets, Tristan Davis
FB (2) – Lousaka Polite, Rolly Lumbala (CFL import)
Because Brown hasn't signed his tender he can't be moved. The Dolphins will put him in a play-for-pay season, hoping he'll be inspired (and healthy enough) to produce another Pro Bowl season, making a dash for the cash. Williams is already wavering on the retirement talk and could receive a postit contract offer from Bill Parcells at any moment.
WR (8) - Greg Camarillo, Brian Hartline, Davon Bess, Taurus Johnson, Ryan Grice-Mullen (CFL Import)
WR – Brandon Marshall, Patrick Turner, Julius Pruitt
The Dolphins finally have a lot of good pieces at receiver. They have a No. 1 target in Marshall, a slot receiver in Bess, and a couple of possession receivers in Hartline and Camarillo. Turner is a wild card considering he needs to blossom to produce. But the talent is there. Grice-Mullen, Pruitt and Johnson are practice squad options. The Dolphins could use a dynamic college returner like Cincinnati's Mardy Gilyard, who happens to be a decent receiver.
TE (4) – Anthony Fasano (TENDER NOT SIGNED), Joey Haynos, Kory Sperry, John Nalbone
There are plenty of players at tight end, and all four could blossom and show drastic improvements, but the Dolphins still need a tight end like David Martin who can stretch the field. Dolphins have had their eye on BYU tight end Dennis Pitta, but would probably have to use their fourth-round selection to get him.
Offensive Line (14)
LT – Jake Long (injured), Andrew Gardner
LG – Nate Garner, Justin Smiley (on the trade block), John Jerry (third-round pick), Ray Feinga
C – Jake Grove, Joe Berger, Andrew Hartline
RG – Donald Thomas, Richie Incognito, Dimitri Tsoumpas (CFL import)
RT – Vernon Carey, Lydon Murtha
This is the Dolphins' deepest unit, even if Smiley is traded or cut. The Dolphins added to an area of strength by taking Jerry in the third-round. I found it interesting Ireland has penciled him in on the left side considering he's played on the right his whole career, and is viewed as a better run blocker, which is what teams need on the right side. The Dolphins are still shopping Smiley, but Ireland admitted it's possible he could be brought to training camp if he's not traded today (yes that's me clapping like a giddy school girl).
Defensive Line (10)
LE – Kendall Langford, Lionel Dotson, Ikaika Alama-Francis
NT – Randy Starks, Paul Soliai, Jason Ferguson (8-game SUSPENSION, Injured)
RE – Phillip Merling, Tony McDaniel, Jared Odrick (first-round pick), Ryan Baker
Moving Starks inside makes sense if he's onboard with the position shift. Merling, a second-round pick in 2008, again enters training camp with first crack at winning the starting right end spot. Last year he lost the battle to Starks, but the Dolphins have pushed him hard this offseason. However, Odrick will be given every opportunity to beat him out, and I've always been told Dotson is a force. Too bad I've never seen it.
Linebackers (11)
SLB – Cameron Wake, Quentin Moses, Brian Johnston
MIKE ILB – Karlos Dansby, Reggie Torbor, J.D. Folsom
MOE ILB – Channing Crowder (Injured), Tim Dobbins (trade)
WLB – Charlie Anderson, Koa Misi (second-round pick), Erik Walden
Considering Dobbins, a career backup whom the Dolphins acquired from San Diego on Thursday night, statistically outperformed Crowder last season in his limited opportunities, I'd say it's safe to assume the battle to replace Akin Ayodele as the starting mo linebacker will be a competitive one. Misi, who played defensive end at Utah, has strong side linebacker written all over him. The Dolphins probably need to add another pass rushing specialist (say Clemson's Ricky Sapp or Wisconsin's O'Brien Schofield) to this group to build depth.
CB – Vontae Davis, Will Allen (Injured)
CB – Sean Smith, Jason Allen, Evan Oglesby
FS – Tyrone Culver, Chris Clemons
SS - Yeremiah Bell, Nate Ness
If Will Allen's healthy he should help the young cornerbacks get better at recognizing what's going on, which was an issue late last season. Culver (smarts) and Clemons (athletic) have potential, but need to prove they can be more than stopgap pieces in a secondary that was troubling in 2009. But considering depth at the safety spot is an issue don't be surprised if one or more is added (draft or rookie free agent signee) today. The Dolphins are looking for smart [FSU's Myron Rolle], but athletic [Utah's Robert Johnson] options. The Dolphins also need to find a cornerback who will fill Nate Jones role as the nickel cornerback and special teams gunner.
P – Brandon Fields
LS – John Denney
K – Dan Carpenter
Returners – Davone Bess, Patrick Cobbs, Brian Hartline, Ryan Grice-Mullen, Taurus Johnson
The return options are decent, but not sexy. A guy like Gilyard, who destroyed Tony Sparano's Senior Bowl squad, and Clemson's Jacoby Ford, who has legit 4.3 speed, could add some sizzle.
So, what should the team's approach be in day three of the 2010 NFL draft?

I have installed Windows Server 2012 on a VM (ESXi) for testing/learning purpose and I also like to install DHCP Server as well but this will conflict with my ISP router and I don't want to disable DHCP from my router.
How do I create a separate network but still have access to internet?
I have two Ethernet ports on my server, Eth0 is connected to a switch via ISP router. Eth1 is not plugged.
- Eth0 - vSwitch0
- Eth1 - vSwitch1
The DC is set to Eth1 and I have created separate network on Windows network setting (IP: 10.0.0.5, subnet mask: 255.0.0.0).
However, when I tried to config the DHCP Server - it is asking me to enter the Gateway IP address from "New Scrope Wizard" - this is where I get stuck.
PS: I do not have vlan switch.

Female professional boxing gave three shots in the arm of competitive prizefighting in Las Vegas.
More than 800 fans including middleweight world champion Sergio Martinez and UFC president Dana White saw three women's boxing fights at the Texas Station Casino on Sunday. Two of the fights had world title implications.
In all three bouts there was fierce fighting especially in the main event that saw IBF junior featherweight titleholder Ada Velez retain her belt with a majority decision over Las Vegas prizefighter Melinda Cooper after 10 rounds.
All of the women bouts were televised both nationally and internationally which is a rarity in the sport. Several male bouts also took place with Sampson Boxing promoting the entire card.
Despite competing with NFL football on a Sunday afternoon, the lure of women's boxing was still able to grab a fair amount of fans to venture to the ballroom at the Las Vegas casino. Though another 400 fans could have fit, the crowd was still impressive and very vocal.
Cooper's support was the strongest of all. It had been almost five years since she last fought in her hometown and her fans attended in force. It was good to see that kind of support.
Though the hometown girl lost by decision against Puerto Rico's Velez, it was an impressive fight. I had attended their first encounter in Costa Rica and saw a completely different fight on Sunday. Velez made a lot of adjustments to win the rematch too and that showed off the skill proficiency of the sport.
In the other title fight Dominican Republic's Dahiana Santana made adjustments also in winning by unanimous decision against former champion Stacey Reile. They also had fought in Costa Rica earlier in the year with Reile winning the first meeting.
Seldom are female fight cards staged anywhere outside of New Mexico, where junior welterweight champion Holly Holm has tremendous backing. This past weekend female prizefighting got a boost in awareness.
In January, the amateur women's boxing program will have its final box offs to determine the representatives for Team USA that will participate in the 2012 Olympics in London. The Summer Olympic Games will be showing female boxing for the first time in its long history.
Women's boxing just took a leap over the weekend though the numbers don't reflect the impact. A slow gradual climb will take place over the next year.
These past few years other countries have discovered women's pro boxing and are benefiting from showing their fights on television. Mexico regularly puts female main events on its television sports programming. Mariana Juarez, Jackie Nava and Ana Maria Torres are the reigning sports figures in that country and are national figures. Peru has Kina Malpartida, Costa Rica has Hanna Gabriel, Argentina has Yesica Bopp and Panama has Chanttal Martinez. Germany has long been the center for women's boxing where a number of female world champions have served as gate attractions like flyweight Susi Kentikian.
Ana Julaton, who was born in the U.S. and still lives in Daly City, California, is one of the leading sports attractions in the Philippines. Only Manny Pacquiao is more popular than Julaton according to Philippine television ratings.
And only the United States has failed to recognize the attraction of female boxing. That will end next year.
I think not. Female boxing= special olympics of male boxing
Not so, Fighter4JC. I find, on a fight for fight basis, the women give you a more honest effort, more value for your dollar. I was in attendance for this particular fight card that David is referencing. It was held at the Texas Station in Las Vegas. I hadn't been back there for boxing since I managed a fighter who lost to Johnny Tapia in a title outing. It also happened that Floyd Mayweather, Jr debuted on that same card. Sunday afternoon's show courtesy of Sampson Promotions was the best top to bottom boxing card I've attended in the last half dozen years. And yes, unfortunately, that includes my shows as well.
I think maybe you're not taking into account the fact that the women fight a two minute round and almost all of them don't carry the firepower that the men do. I've been reading your entries for a while now. Certainly you'll agree it requires the exact same amount of courage coupled with the same inherent risks the males face. I'm a boxing fan. I LOVE different styles. Hey, not everybody can take you out with one shot. And that actually, is my favorite "type" of fighter. You know the type. "He couldn't bust a grape!". THAT'S MY POINT! How much moxie does it take to walk into the ring to challenge an opponent who's a big puncher and you're not? That's my fighter! "Well, he was backing up!" SO? That's why the ring is 20'x20' (Used to be 24x24) and not 5x5. Boxing to me is an art form. We are so fortunate to have three guys fighting today that have ridiculous skill sets. Money, Manny, and Juan Manuel. It sickens me (Really, really does!) when I go on THIS forum and read Scareweather, canvasback, and whatever the deragatory term of the day used to describe Manny. Here's what I read: I'm a moron and am completely clueless about what I'm viewing.
Sure, the Boxing IQ of the average fight fan has plummeted in the last 50 years, which is why you have no choice but to talk to a fight fan between the ages of 65 and deceased if you want a stimulating boxing discussion. Now I don't want to go off on a rant here, (Shades of Dennis) and I know that 99.44% of what I wrote here is not directed at 4JC, but...You know what, I'm getting all fired up now...I'm going to go start my own post. That's right. But first I have some errands to run. :-) And people, tell your family you love them. And not just on holidays. Peace.
Womens boxing is gaining support in a huge way... I just saw an article where the WBC is going to issue Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Emerald Thongs for the best fighters in each division. Seriously,.. I haven't seen to many matches,.. but Peter Eggs used to make it sound epic and honorable when he posted summaries of his favorite female fights.
F4JC - Davinci said it in a more civilized way than I would. I train with good female boxers, and good males. I see the work and the skill. I see tremendous skill, intelligence, courage and athleticism on the part of the women - most whom you yourself would not survive a round against.
Your characterization of female boxers as akin to the developmentally and otherwise disabled is not simply ignorant - it is both cruel, incorrect, and wrong, and again reveals you as a person who cannot distinguish his farts from his ideas. You are clearly not unintelligent, so I wonder what exactly leads you to make such a high proportion of indefensible posts? One thing for sure is that you are getting attention for it.
Hehehehehehe! WOW! "...cannot distinguish his farts from his ideas...." That was a diamond mine spit. I'm going to have to steal that from ya, mortcola. You ain't a meany, but you no doubt have a pure pugilistic killer instinct. WTF! You woulda, shoulda, coulda been one heck of a pro.
I know the mindset of a killa, thrilla, blooda spilla, when I hear and/or see da spit. Danggit! FISTICALLY nuking an arse, is all up in your DNA, I'm willing to bet BIG! Holla!
You said it Rad. Use it! And, yeah, for a health professional, I really like hitting people.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Women's Basketball Falls To Xavier, 68-55
Feb. 2, 2002
AMHERST, Mass. - Xavier University defeated the University of Massachusetts, 68-55, this afternoon in Atlantic 10 women's basketball action at the William D. Mullins Center.
The Minutewomen snapped a 9-2 Xavier run with a jumper by junior Caroline Nehls (Randolph, N.J.) at 14:39 in the first half. Freshman Katie Nelson (Ellicot City, Md.) hit a three-pointer at the 14:08 mark to bring UMass within two points of Xavier, 9-7, but it was as close as the Minutewomen would get as Xavier nailed three consecutive three-pointers to go up, 18-9, at 11:22.
Amy Waugh shot 4-for-6 from three-point range to lead all scorers with 15 points in the first stanza. The Musketeers shot 5-for-11 from three-point range and 43 percent from the field to lead, 31-21, at the break. Junior Nekole Smith (Ann Arbor, Mich.) had six points for the Minutewomen, while Nelson chipped in five.
Xavier opened the second half with a 20-9 run to extend its lead to 51-30 with 12:30 remaining. The Minutewomen then went on an 8-0 run capped off by an Ebony Pegues (Columiba, Ohio) jumper in the lane to cut the Musketeers lead to 51-38 with 9:22 remaining. Waugh ended the Minutewoman run with a three-pointer at the 8:11 mark.
The Minutewomen cut the Xavier lead to 10 with 2:22 remaining on a put-back by Jennifer Butler (Brooklyn, N.Y.), but could not get any closer as the Musketeers sealed the victory. Pegues led the Minutewomen with 13 points, while Nelson finished with 12. Butler finished with seven points and a game-high 12 rebounds.
Waugh led all scorers with 32 points on 6-for-9 from three-point range, and Aida Sarajlija chipped in with 12 and Shavon Bell had 10 points for the Musketeers. The victory improves Xavier to 8-14 overall and 3-7 in the Atlantic 10, while the loss drops Massachusetts to 6-15 overall and 4-6 in the A-10.
The Minutewomen return to action on Thursday, Feb. 7, when they travel to Fordham University to take on the Rams. The game is slated to begin at 7:00 p.m.

Utahns react with questions: What happens next?
Ravell Call, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Gay rights activists in Utah hailed the U.S. Supreme Court rulings on marriage, while supporters of traditional marriage called the outcome disappointing.
But how the high court's decisions Wednesday on the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8 will affect Utah remains to be seen, particularly when it comes to extending federal benefits for same-sex couples who marry in other states but live in Utah.
Attorney General John Swallow said he would "vigorously" defend Utah's voter-approved law defining marriage as between a man and a woman, though he doesn't believe Wednesday's decision will have much direct impact on the state.
"In a nutshell, DOMA will not affect us," he said, adding Utah still has the right to define marriage as it sees fit.
Former U.S. Attorney for Utah Brett Tolman said the attorney general is accurate in saying the Supreme Court is not forcing Utah to authorize gay marriage, "but he should not be comfortable."
Utah Pride executive director Valerie Larabee said the decision would begin to "wash away" laws that she says discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
"We look forward to the day when all the anti-gay legislation lies on the trash heap of history like Prop 8 and DOMA," she said.
The justices struck down the section of DOMA that defines marriage as between a man and a woman for purposes of federal law as unconstitutional. That means legally married same-sex couples are entitled to claim the same federal benefits that are available to opposite-sex married couples.
The court also ruled that the traditional marriage activists who put Proposition 8 on California ballots in 2008 did not have the constitutional authority, or standing, to defend the law in federal courts after the state refused to appeal its loss at trial. The decision leaves in place a lower federal court decision that overturned Proposition 8 and effectively legalizes gay marriage in California.
Michael Picardi, 62, and Grady James, 64, announced after a news conference at the Utah Pride Center that they intend to get married.
"We are going to California to do it so we can have all the federal rights that we deserve to have as a married couple," James said.
James and Picardi, who have been together seven years, said they're bugged that they have to file federal income tax returns as single people when they have a house, a car and checking and business accounts together.
"This is a dramatic day. This is Brown v. the Board of Education," said Sen. Jim Dabakis, D-Salt Lake, the Utah Legislature's only openly gay member, making the comparison to landmark school desegregation legislation.
But Dabakis said it will be "awkward" for gay couples who marry in other states because they may or may not receive federal benefits in Utah.
"This patchwork system is going to be a mess the next few years until it gets straightened out. And really, there's only one way to straighten it out, which is to not have a patchwork, to allow marriage for LGBT families all across the country," he said.
Traditional marriage
Utah lawmakers have stood firm for traditional marriage, and Utah Eagle Forum president Gayle Ruzicka expects that won't change.
"In Utah we have traditional marriage, and it's going to stay that way," she said.
Ruzicka said the Supreme Court rulings basically make marriage a states' rights issue.

Charles Bernsteinb. 1950
Poet, essayist, theorist, and scholar Charles Bernstein was born in New York City. He is a foundational member and leading practitioner of Language poetry. Bernstein was educated at the Bronx High School of Science and at Harvard University. In the mid-1970s he became active in the experimental poetry scenes in New York and San Francisco, not only as a poet, but also as an editor, publisher, and theorist. Bernstein's poetic work explores the wide-ranging uses of language within diverse social contexts. His poetry combines the language of politics, popular culture, advertising, literary jargon, corporate-speak, and myriad others to show the ways in which language and culture are mutually constructive and interdependent.
