Very attractive girl who is often a leader in her field of life. She takes on projects of all interest and is hailed as someone who is successful and thinks outside the box. People tend to believe she enjoys being in the spotlight, when in reality she'd rather get the job done and blend quietly in the background. She has deep roots and beliefs in God and Family. Shes an extremely faithful friend but when betrayed struggles with forgiveness.

Soldiers, not civilians, need assault weapons
There was a report regarding the Connecticut school shooting that indicated a two-minute timeline from the moment the shooting started until it ceased. It took the shooter two minutes to kill 20 children and six adults. The coroner said the victims had multiple gunshot wounds. Other than a soldier in a military engagement, who needs that capability?
Do we love our guns more than we love our children?

LISBON - County commissioner candidate John Wargo filed a campaign finance report after all.
Oct. 25 was the filing deadline at the Columbiana County Board of Elections for pre-election campaign finance reports, and Wargo failed to meet the deadline. The News incorrectly reported Monday it was because he spent less than $1,000, and under those circumstances candidates are not required to file detailed reports.
The report was filed on Monday, and Wargo listed expenditures of $10,498 and a zero balance going into the final two weeks before the Nov. 6 election.
Wargo is running as an independent for the commissioner seat occupied by incumbent John Payne. The third candidate is Republican Tim Weigle. Payne reported spending $8,008 and Weigle $28,120.

Marcell Dareus says he doesn't grade himself until after the season.
The website Pro Football Focus doesn't wait that long, however, and the results aren't pretty through seven games for the Buffalo Bills' second-year defensive tackle.
Of 90 defensive tackles or nose tackles graded by the website – which grades every player on every snap of the season – Dareus has the worst score of any against the run, a rating of minus-9.0. He's had a negative grade against the run in five of Buffalo's seven games.
"It kills me every day. I pride myself on stopping the run," Dareus said. "We all pride ourselves on stopping the run, but things just keep happening."
It's been a nightmare start to the season for Dareus, the third overall pick in the 2011 draft. On-field events have been the least of his troubles. On the day the Bills opened the season last month in New York, Dareus' 19-year-old half brother, Simeon Gilmore, was found murdered in Alabama, a victim in a triple homicide.
Dareus put on a brave face in the days and weeks that followed, not missing any game time despite returning home to be with his family on two occasions. But such a senseless tragedy isn't easily forgotten.
"I really don't know anymore," Dareus said last week, when asked whether he thought his play had been affected by the circumstances in his personal life. "It's life. I really don't want to speak on that.
"It's just how things are right now. I still love football. Love everything about it. Love the people, love my teammates. It's just … I don't know."
Bills coach Chan Gailey similarly was slow to say whether he thought what's happened off the field has impacted Dareus on it.
"I can't speak to off the field," Gailey said. "You'd probably need to talk to him about off the field. He's had to deal with a lot but he's come to work every day and that's what I see. I don't know how he's handling all that other stuff.
"But the play on the field is, to me, in line with the other people on the football team. Can he be better? Can we be better? Yes, everybody can step their play up a notch and improve our defense and they all have to. I'm not going to talk about individual play one way or the other, it's a group thing. Everybody has to do what they're supposed to do."
Understandably, the 6-foot-3, 331-pounder hasn't been as gregarious as usual.
"I feel like I'm playing OK, but OK isn't good enough," he said. "I gotta find a way to get off these double teams and make some plays. That's how it is right now. I've just got to face it. I don't feel lost on the field, not by a long shot. Things come up and you've got to deal with them."
Dareus has two sacks and 13 tackles through seven weeks.
"Obviously we want him to play better," fellow defensive tackle Kyle Williams said of Dareus. "He wants to play better. I think that goes for everybody. It is not just him.
"There are 11 guys that are responsible for something – responsible for the way the defense is going."
Former Bills punter Chris Mohr has been selected to receive the 27th annual Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Distinguished Service Award for the 2012 season. Mohr will be honored during pregame ceremonies at the Bills-Jacksonville game at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Dec. 2 and at the Monday Quarterback Club luncheon at the Adams Mark Hotel the next day.
Mohr played in 160 regular-season games over his 10-year career in Buffalo, from 1991-2000. He was active in community service as a supporter and volunteer for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Women's and Children's Hospital in Buffalo.
He is the vice president of sales and product development for the Nviroclean Co. and lives in Thompson, Ga., with his wife and four children.
The Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Distinguished Service Award was established by the Monday Quarterback Club in 1986 to honor former players for long and meritorious service to the Bills. Mohr becomes the 32nd former Bills player to be selected for the award over the past 27 years.

Many have voted Showgirls as the worst movie of 1996 and of the '90s. Popular with drag queens and gay men, and horny college students. A funny movie not to be taking seriously. A must see!

Here's how to introduce your children to music, from early years music groups to learning an instrument at school.
- Early years music groups - what to expect
- Learning an instrument - what instrument and when is the right time to learn?
- Listening to music and dancing - how to nurture a love of music
- Do you run a class - or are you a music teacher?
Early years music groups
Children are never too young to enjoy an appreciation of music - why, even playing music to them in the womb is said to have therapeutic benefits! There are lots of ways to introduce your children to music, so as well as playing music around the house or in the car, or buying some cheap and cheerful instruments, why not see if there is a local tots music group that operates in your area? Not only are such groups a great way to develop your child's love of music in a fun setting, but they provide a chance for mums to get out of the house and meet other parents.
There's not really any lower age limit for early years music classes - starting around 4 months and upwards is usually the norm. It's nice if your child can sit up unaided as some classes incorporate things like rolling a ball as part of the session. Classes usually last no longer than 30 minutes and are limited to small numbers.
You'll probably sit in a circle, with your child in front of you or in your lap, and the session leader will usually sing a song at the beginning which introduces all the children in the class. There will be a chance to sing popular well-known songs, sing songs with actions, listen to a variety of different genres of music, dance with baby (or toddlers can dance independently, of course!) or play interactive games such as rolling a ball while reciting a rhythm, or playing percussion instruments/shakers to a piece of music.
What's really lovely about early years music classes is that they're a wonderful way to bond with your child - you can hold your child close as you sing and at the same time they'll be learning important developmental skills, such as shaking a shaker or handling another instrument. Furthermore, taking part in music classes can aid early speech development.

Learning an instrument
How many of us wish we'd learnt to play the piano when we were kids but never 'got around to it'? While you might assume you need specific skills to play an instrument the truth is anyone can give it a go, so whether your child has shown a particular ear for music or not, trying their hand at a musical instrument will give them real pleasure and a sense of achievement.
Obviously there are cost factors to take into account, but having a toot on a recorder is not prohibitive. Eventually your child will let you know if they want to pursue a particular musical instrument and if you both believe it's worth investing in lessons then go for it! The worse thing you can do is push your child into it, just because you want them to fulfill your childhood ambitions, but if your child seems a natural learning a musical instrument won't be a chore.
So, when to begin? When your child starts school they will probably be introduced to the recorder as a first instrument. Children can play as soon as their fingers can cover the holes. The recorder is a great introduction to the family of wind instruments, and might lead them on to discover instruments such as the flute, clarinet or oboe as they get older. Simple percussion instruments will also be something your child has a chance to play with at school (and earlier, at pre-school or playgroup).
If you are considering private lessons there are some age considerations you need to consider:
Piano - your child will need to comfortably be able to reach the keys and press down on them with adequate strength. You don't need to worry about the pedals at this stage, however.
Stringed instruments - you may have seen tiny children playing the violin on TV - in China and Japan, for example, children as young as three often learn stringed instruments via the 'Suzuki method'. However here at home it's not usually before the age of six that children are encouraged to try their hand at stringed instruments. Children will usually learn on a small-sized instrument.
Wind and brass instruments - apart from the recorder, wind and brass instruments should not be played until a child's second set of teeth are through due to the pressure put on teeth when these instruments are played. Also, due to the size of some of these instruments (particularly in the case of the tuba, for example) children need to be a little older so they can comfortably hold heavier instruments.
Guitar - for guitars you need to take into account the size and 'stretch' of your child's hands. Although guitars come in smaller sizes, in most cases children need to be around 8 years old to comfortably play the guitar.
Some experts say formal music lessons aren't really a great idea before the age of about 8. Children need to be equipped with adequate levels of concentration and 'pushing' children into timetabled, structured classes at an earlier age than this may have the undesired effect of actually turning your child off music. But if your child appears to have a natural aptitude and is keen to learn it really is up to you when you start formal musical instruction. If your child is ready for formal lessons you'll need to do some careful research to find a good teacher both you and your child are happy with.
Your school may offer instrumental lessons which take place either during school hours, in lunchtimes or out of school hours. If not, you could contact your local education authority who may hold a list of reputable teachers. As is often the way with child-related activities, word-of-mouth is an invaluable way of finding a good recommendation. It's always best to ensure you use someone with a recognised qualification, who has been teaching for some time and who can provide testimonials or recommendations. The Incorporated Society of Musicians holds a register of teachers with a recognised qualification, references and teaching experience. Lastly it's well worthwhile having a 'taster' session which you can attend - you'll know instinctively if you're happy with the teacher's manner and form of teaching, and will just know if anything doesn't feel right. Also, your child will have a chance to see if they really would like to pursue lessons before committing to what could be an expensive mistake!

Listening to music & dancing
An enjoyment of listening to music comes naturally to children. It's lovely to introduce your child to the music you like, as well as different types of music, from classical to rock 'n' roll to jazz and reggae - you'll probably find your child's musical tastes are very broad so don't limit the kind of music they listen to. Remember that different types of music do have an affect on your child's mood, though, so if you want to spend some calm time together you should choose something more soothing like a piece of classical music as more upbeat music will act as a stimulant and get them jumping around all over the place!
You may find younger children don't respond so well to music without any kind of visual context. If that's the case spend some time looking at pictures or looking at the CD cover before or while you listen to music. If you're listening to a classical piece you could try and find some pictures of different instruments and explain 'this is a violin playing right now - here's what a violin looks like', for example.
Children will also love providing their own musical accompaniment to the recorded music and this is certainly something to be encouraged. You may have some toy instruments at home but if you don't simply bashing away on a saucepan with a wooden spoon can have the same effect! Or you could make shakers to shake along to the music - all you need is something like an empty pot or small water bottle filled with rice or small pasta shapes such as macaroni. As your child bangs or shakes away try to explain the basic concept of rhythm and beats.
Dancing should also be fully encouraged! It's a great way for both you and your child to have a real giggle together, get that blood flowing and release some good mood-boosting serotonin. Seeing you dance in extravagant, silly style will truly delight your child and will show them just how life-enhancing music and dance can be.
Outside of the home environment there are lots of ways to expose your children to music. There are lots of music groups aimed at babies and children all over the country, such as Jo Jingles or similar, independently run groups. Sing and Sign is another popular type of music group that may operate in your area - this special programme helps babies to communicate before speech in a fun and informal setting, helping parents to understand their child before they can speak. Take a look at your local Music and Dance listings in the 'places to go' section to see what is available in your area. Experiencing live music is something that will really excite your child, so look out for free local music festivals or events in your area.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA Rulemaking
Update 7/31: After a week's delay and some additional minor amendments, the bill has now passed out of committee. We'll keep you posted as the legislation continues to wend its way through Congress.
Original post July 23, 2013:
The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold a markup session today for HR 1123, Chairman Bob Goodlatte's "Unlocking Consumer Choice" bill addressing the current (and wildly unpopular) ban on phone unlocking. Unfortunately, although Chairman Goodlatte has introduced a manager's amendment [pdf] that somewhat improves bill, this legislation still doesn't go far enough in bringing about sorely needed reform to a fundamentally broken section of copyright law.
Congress looks poised to create a new legal shield for mobile phone unlocking, making it clear that people who switch wireless carriers won't face civil suits or criminal penalties under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. That legal protection was taken away by a ruling from the Librarian of Congress last October. In a hearing tomorrow morning, a subcommittee of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee will hear from witnesses about a bill to bring it back - at least temporarily. It's a no-brainer that people should be able to use the phones they own on the networks of their choice, as everyone from the wireless carriers to consumer advocates to the White House agrees.
A new bill introduced in Congress today aims to resolve the restrictions that complicate phone unlocking, and it's doing it the right way. While other proposals would apply temporary "bandaid" fixes that fail to address the underlying problems behind the restrictions, this bi-partisan proposal from Representatives Zoe Lofgren, Thomas Massie, Anna Eshoo, and Jared Polis, gets to the root of the issue.
Contact your representative today to ask them to join in supporting this bill.
Today EFF joins a broad coalition of over 40 groups and individuals in sending a letter calling on Congress to create a permanent phone-unlocking exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and to start the process of reforming the anti-circumvention provisions of that law. The coalition represents not just public interest groups, but startup companies, industry organizations, academics, and others.
How the US Trade Rep Ratchets Up Worldwide Copyright Laws That Could Keep Your Devices Locked Forever
This month, the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce Bruce Lehman, sometimes referred to as the architect of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), spoke at a Silicon Valley conference that brought copyright experts together to discuss the impact of that law 15 years later.
At the conference, Lehman admitted the law was the product of a deliberate end-run around the democratic process. Lehman was an advocate for several hardline proposals to criminalize digitial rights management (DRM) circumvention. Unable to sell the proposals domestically, Lehman pressed the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to propose them at the UN World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) instead. Many have accused Lehman of using the treaty process to avoid Congress. What was Lehman's response to those accusations at the event? "I would say that they're right."

Deputies have named two persons of interest in a fatal shooting at a Chinese restaurant in Pine Hills in September.
Orange County homicide investigators are looking for Raymond Barnes, Jr., 22, and Calvin Washington, 20.
There is a $5,000 reward being offered for information leading to an arrest.
Ying Jie Sun, 53, was working at the China Wok restaurant on North Pine Hills Road when she was shot and killed.
Officials said she didn't understand the demands of a masked gunman when he burst into the restaurant at about 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 26.
The man also pistol-whipped another employee after demanding cash. That victim sustained minor injuries.
Investigators said the robbers made off with less than $100.

Halloween has always been very illustrative of a harvest's end.
In the old days in Trumbull and Mahoning counties, we would see corn shocks stacked up high, occupying endless fields on farmlands. Pumpkins, bright orange in the sunlight, seem to glow, and there's a cascade of colors produced by the leaves ready to fall.
This is so reminiscent of a grand finale of fireworks exploding in daylight instead of the dead of night. Nature seems to be putting on its last big show before the drudgery of winter sets in. During this time of a joyful harvest, Halloween just seems to fit in with the splendid scenery and colorful hues.
The Celts were people who lived in the area that became Ireland, Britain and Northern France some 2,000 years ago. As legend and history have it, their New Year was celebrated on Nov. 1. This day also marked harvest's end and the beginning of the terrible winter months.
They celebrated what they called Samhain on the night of Oct. 31. They believed that on that night, the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. The Celts held celebrations for this holiday. They wore costumes that were made from animal heads and skins.
By 43 A.D., the Romans took over much of the Celt's territory and initiated their own celebrations, combining the Celt's Samhain with their own version called Feralia, where the ritual of bobbing for apples was originated - so they say.
It seemed by the 800s, Christianity spread to the land of the Celts, and Pope Boniface IV redesignated Nov. 1 as All Saints Day, which was also called All-Hallows or All-Hallomas, which eventually became Halloween. They dressed in costumes of devils, angels and saints.
When English immigrants arrived on the shores of America along with their prized possessions, they also brought their prized Halloween customs with them. They, of course, celebrated their harvest, held parties, told frightening stories of the dead and ghosts. It seems that mischief making was also part of the criteria.
By the end of the 19th century, there was a flood of American immigrants, mostly Irish. They immediately seemed to popularize Halloween nationally with their beliefs and traditions of that sacred day. At this time, Americans began to dress up in costumes and go from house to house begging for food and money. Thus the era of trick or treating began.
At the turn of the 20th century, Halloween parties for adults and children became quite common. Those parties included games, food, cold cider and, of course, outlandish costumes that were usually judged and awarded prizes.
There seemed to be a change at this time, as parents were encouraged to take anything frightening out of Halloween celebrations and parties. By doing so, Halloween seemed to lose its luster and superstitious overtones. However, most of that has returned.
There have always been forms of vandalism during Halloween. Pranksters didn't know when to stop as damage to homes and property began to occur. In my day, we used to take shelled field corn and throw it at people's windows just to hear the sound. If a treat was not offered, their windows were soaped.
Halloween today mainly is for the young. Trick-or-treating is more popular than ever, and hardly ever is a trick performed. Parties have moved to classrooms and homes.
Different service groups have purchased old homes and transformed them into their own haunted houses, charging admission to people to get scared stiff. They raise funds that way for their causes and for their communities. Their array of scares includes ghosts, monsters, witches, goblins and that scary maniac with a chain saw who chases every one and is also a big hit.
A successful pre-Halloween event occurs in Warren called Ghost Walk. This year marked the 25th with a Civil War theme.
Of course, just like every other holiday, Halloween today is vastly commercialized. It is said that Americans spend an estimated $6.9 billion annually on Halloween. That's a lot of candy, costumes, brooms, black cats, witches, jack-o-lanterns and just plain pumpkins.

I am writing this to convince Truckee voters to vote no on Measure J. Every time the town of Truckee wants to build something, they want us taxpayers to pay increased taxes.
This is unfair to the taxpayers of Truckee taxpayers. You got Measure A passed for the schools, Measure C for the TFHD, and now Measure J to construct a new performing arts center and a new pool. Our taxes have been steadily increasing and I believe this must finally come to a stop, especially in these tough economic times. Tried to sell your house lately?
Have you ever thought who will really use the PA center and how much will it really be used, especially during our six month winter? In summer the kids are out of school and on vacation. Has anyone ever thought about who is going to run this facilities and who will pay them too. You are not going to make any money either.
Big acts avoid Truckee anyway - after all, we do have Reno just 30 minutes away. Look at all the concerts in the park we used to have here which have virtually disappeared.
In addition, just look around, there are so many buildings in Truckee standing empty now it is unbelievable. Reminds me of a ghost town.
An alternative would be use the left over millions of dollars you collected from us already in past measures and choose any one of the many empty buildings for remodeling. This would be cheaper than building a new one, and you have the money already anyway. No need to raise our taxes once again.
Please, Vote No on J.

And You Call Yourself a Film Buff?! – Blue Valentine
BY Alex Gibson
Blue Valentine may not be a classic like Casablanca or Star Wars, but when it came out three years ago, it set the indie film world a flutter with news of a festival darling that pleased critics and audiences alike. I just wasn't in any of those audiences, not even when it screened in the 19th Annual Philadelphia Film Festival. Consequently, I have had to hush up whenever people around me discussed the brilliance of the film. For the next three years, I kept meaning to watch it, but was never quite in the mood to be depressed.

Normally I am against line-swapping too but really Babs hands are tied here. He has tried almost everything this season and nothing seems to be working.
Playing Datsyuk and Zetterberg on one line= opponents are going to focus on that line because they know, other lines will be just that normal lines.
Seperate both = they have to carry each line by themselves so in the end less firepower but a more balanced lineup.
Looking at the state of this roster, there aren't many other options for Babs right now. Other players have to step it up and provide some help to Z and D otherwhise the line-swapping will continue, because like I said Babs doesn't have a lot to work with.

June 18, 1928 – Feb. 2, 2013
Despite his skills on the gridiron, Raymond J. Jacobi turned down a career as a professional football player, choosing instead to spend a decade working in his family's clothing business and later as an insurance agent. Mr. Jacobi died Saturday in his Williamsville home. He was 84.
Born in Buffalo, he was a star football player at both St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute and Canisius College, where he was a three-time member of the All-Little Three team and was chosen by area sportswriters as the most valuable player in 1947.
In 1950, he was honored as the "ideal Canisius man," for scholastic achievement, moral character and outstanding contributions to extracurricular activities.
Despite being recruited by the Los Angeles Rams while still a student at Canisius, Mr. Jacobi chose to remain in Western New York. From 1950 to 1960, he worked in his family's clothing business, Martin Jacobi Clothiers.
He then went to work as an insurance agent with Allstate Insurance, from which he retired as a senior account agent in 1995. During his tenure with Allstate, Mr. Jacobi earned numerous awards for his service to more than 5,000 clients.
Mr. Jacobi was elected to the Canisius College Athletic Hall of Fame in 1976 and was a part of the 1949 Canisius College football team at its induction in 2010.
He was elected to St. Joe's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004.
He also was a founding member and longtime volunteer at St. Amelia Catholic Church, Town of Tonawanda, where he served as Eucharistic minister, finance committee member and chairman of the School Board.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years, the former Suzanne Poortem; a son, Raymond J.; three daughters, Suzanne Franjione, Maureen Chambers and Deborah Jacobi-Rodriguez; and two brothers, Martin Jr. and Joseph.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10:30 a.m. Friday in St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church, 200 St. Gregory Court at Maple Road, Amherst.

Brianna Jordan and her friends visited the set of Hardy's new crime drama Animal Rescue during filming in Brooklyn on Thursday.
While Jordan and her friends "grabbed some coffee to stay warm," they ended up watching some of the shoot and "were lucky enough to catch [Hardy] between sets and got some pictures," she tells PEOPLE.
"He was super sweet and took time to get pics with all of us!" she says. "[He] told us to keep warm. Still don't actually believe it happened."
While in town, the actor has also been spotted dining at Italian hot spot, Antica Pesa, in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood.

Who's Who Among Students exists as one of the most highly regarded and long-standing honors programs in the nation, having earned the over-whelming respect of college faculties and administrations. For the students – the outstanding campus leaders of the year – national recognition by the Who's Who program marks a pinnacle of scholastic achievement.
Selections to Who's Who Among Students are made each spring by UTB. A Campus nominating committee, created to nominate the community college, upper-classmen and graduate students eligible for the program, is composed of representatives from the faculty, and administration.
This procedure of local nomination succeeds in highlighting the individual and diverse service to community and school. These are the young adults who enhance the positive image of American youth through their contributions to community and school. Because curricular and extracurricular programs at schools vary greatly, each college is assigned a quota of nominees. This quota is carefully calculated to ensure a well-rounded representation of the student body. All nominations must be endorsed by a college's faculty or administration.
It should always be remembered that college students are the reservoir from which our nation draws its leadership strength. This feeling about American students is the guiding principle behind the Who's Who Among Students program and our efforts to proudly continue to aid campuses in honoring students who demonstrate consistent excellence.
We invite you to apply to Who's Who at UTB. Please read the application requirements by clicking on the following link:

If President Obama wins Franklin County, Ohio – a critical locale in a critical swing state – on Tuesday, he might want to write a thank-you note to Ohio State's football team. The Buckeyes defeated Penn State last week, thereby enhancing Obama's chances of taking central Ohio.
This isn't a guess. It's science – social science. Research shows that voters in a college team's home county tend to reward the incumbent presidential candidate after the local team wins two weeks before the election. The effect is often significant.
When it comes to predicting voter behavior, academics, pundits and reporters tend to train their attention on the big stuff — party affiliation, incumbent approval ratings, the state of the economy. All good. But like all human behaviors, voting can't be entirely reduced to an abstract set of numbers marching across a PowerPoint display.
So, seemingly irrelevant things — where you vote, which team won on Saturday, what order the candidates' names appear on the ballot, etc. — all have small but measurable effects on voting outcomes, social scientists say. And in a close election, small things can turn into very big things.
Take football games. The performance of a team would seem about as important to a presidential vote as whether you burned your toast this morning. Which is why it was the perfect variable for a 2010 study entitled, "Irrelevant Events Affect Voters' Evaluations of Government Performance." Researchers at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and Stanford University's business school sought to test whether an otherwise random and seemingly arbitrary event – the outcome of college football games — showed any correlation with the results of presidential, Senate and gubernatorial elections.
And it did, consistently, in every election between 1964 and 2008. On average, the researchers found, a victory by a hometown team 10 days before the election resulted in incumbent candidates receiving an additional 1.61 percentage points of the vote in the team's county. A victory by an avidly followed, perpetual powerhouse team (like, say, Ohio State) had an even more significant effect, as much as 3.35 percentage points.
Why? The results suggest that the emotional state of voters is an important component in understanding their behavior, says Stanford professor Neil Malhotra, one of the study's authors. If they feel good, that can translate into how they vote. And if they feel good when they vote, they generally reward the incumbent, the embodiment of the status quo, he says.
Studies about the effect of a candidate's location on the ballot, for example, stretch back for decades. Generally speaking, having your name listed first seems to convey a marginal but important advantage, especially in elections in which the candidates aren't well-known.
Thomas Holbrook, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, said emotion is an important factor in an election. Holbrook is one of many academics who model elections to predict their outcome. The models typically use variables such as economic growth and presidential-approval polls. But at their core, those aren't much different as measures of sentiment than football games.
"Elections," he says, "are basically about how satisfied people are."

The 5 Creepiest Things Ever Done With a Fake Medical Degree
#2. Home Sperm Donors
If we're being honest with ourselves, we all recognize that Craigslist is a terrible repository of gross and terror. There's a corner of it where hipsters trade their sitars for kalimbas and organize poetry jams at organic tea shops, and then others sell their 32-inch Zenith televisions from 1991 for $10 (you haul it away), but for the most part, it's all murder and masturbation. That's a statistic -- you can Google it.
In keeping with this terrible theme, Jeffrey Graybill posted an ad on Craigslist in Phoenix. His ad said that he was a fertility doctor looking for sperm donors. Here's where you need to put on your Magnum, P.I. hat and look for clues that something ain't right. A good hint that you're about to embark on something awful is that you're answering a Craigslist ad for what you keep in your balls. No one on Craigslist needs what's in your balls for legitimate business purposes. All Craigslist nut farmers are, in fact, illegitimate.
Anyway, despite what logic dictates, some people answered this ad and went to Graybill's apartment, because why not donate sperm at a dude's apartment? Incidentally, while in Phoenix this may be known as sperm donation, in most circles it's known as "jerking off in front of a stranger."
Victims who went to Graybill's apartment were then subjected to extensive physical exams, inside and out, long and weird enough that the men involved felt the need to call the cops about it later. Because there comes a point, when getting fondled and probed by a strange man, in his house, that you start to think, "This doesn't seem legit at all."
I don't want to come off sounding too hard on these guys (I could have worded this sentence differently if I wanted to), so I will say that the fake doctor did have a black medical bag, a stethoscope, and a three-page FAQ about sperm donation. That's more official than most doctors you'll find in Europe.
Possibly the saddest part of this whole story is that this guy needed to run a scam to play with random dudes' junk. After perusing Craigslist for five minutes to research this, and having also been on Chatroulette once, it seems pretty clear that if you want to play with some random dude's junk, all you really need to do is ask and you'll be up to your ears in wiener, no felonies required. Maybe some ointment, but no felonies.
#1. Penis Pumping
Everyone enjoys a good penis pump now and then. That's what Granny used to say, and if you argued with her, it was two days in the cellar with the Gooch. But for all the good penis pumping has done for the world, there's a dark underbelly, or taint, if you will -- the pumping party.
The term "pumping party" sounds gross all on its own, but it's gross in a whole different way when you read up on it. It's when a bunch of people get together to have someone that everyone is reasonably sure is not a real doctor inject them with a wacky grab bag of random products in an effort to make whatever body part is being injected bigger. So those butt implants done with cement like before or, in this case, your wang. To clarify, you go to someone's house to let another person inject things into your penis. And why? Because it's cheaper than letting a doctor do it. I'm reasonably sure I could buy some pliers and perform my own dental work on the cheap as well, but I'm still not gonna do it.
At this particular party, a man allowed pretend doctor Kasia Rivera, maybe with a crowd of onlookers enjoying cocktail wieners and Fresca, to inject his dong with silicone. Industrial grade silicone, the kind of stuff you buy at Home Depot to seal your toilet.
In case you're wondering what a dink full of industrial silicone does to you, you die. The patient in question collapsed the following day from a silicone embolism and his weird, amorphous penis was not enjoyed by anyone.
If you're thinking maybe other substances are safer than silicone, it's worth noting that shady clinics in Thailand also offer a similar procedure in which they'll inject your unit with olive oil. Olive oil has to be safer, because Rachael Ray uses it and she would never endorse murderous penis grease, right? WRONG! So wrong. Rachael Ray hates your penis and wants it destroyed without mercy.
While I'm not sure if a greasy wiener ever killed anyone, at least one man in Thailand had to have his entire undercarriage Ken Dolled, thanks to some severe infection and cancer. Did the oil cause cancer? That seems odd at best, but on the other hand, so does injecting your penis repeatedly with oil to the point that it becomes infected. I'm no doctor.

Just A Start: W.Va. should not bow to education status quo
March 12, 2013
Improving public schools in West Virginia will not be easy and it will not happen overnight. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's proposal to accomplish reform is far from perfect....
"There is now way to know true intent."
Oh yes there is, if you're too thick to understand the words on the parchment, I'd recommend going and reading the federalist papers and the radification debates.

The Governors proposal is empty...
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
People need to start looking deeper into the education issue in WV. Start by reading the audit that the Governor is "supposed" to be responding to. The state has the 2nd largest administrative group at the state level of any in the U.S. While students enrollmenthas increased by 8% teaching staff increased by 60%, total staff 84% and non teaching staff 138%. People need to take the school back from the government and make them "public" schools again.

Majoritarian is correct that parents (one or both) or guardians must be involved in their child's education during their school years! Children look to their parents for guidance and mimic their parents behavior and attitudes. Because a parent worked a minimum wage job or in the mines does not mean that the children have to follow that route. And if that is the route the children want to take (nothing wrong with an honest day's work of any type) there is also nothing wrong with learning and gaining knowledge for personal use, to expand your world or to impart to others you meet in life. Parents should want more for their kids. Parents have the power to take a stand and make changes. Use your power; find your voice and help guide your children to all that there is out there in the world for them to learn and experience.

In addition there's no easy way to simply play back things from an AFP network share, and probably never will be. Apple hasn't crafted a pirate-friendly box with Apple TV, and until the Apple TV 3 gets jailbroken and XMBC port, it just isn't a fit for that crowd at all."

Doug Whaley remains the Buffalo Bills' general manager-in-waiting.
Just how long that wait will last, however, is something that neither Whaley himself, current General Manager Buddy Nix nor team president and CEO Russ Brandon was willing to specify Tuesday.
In announcing that Brandon will inherit the team presidency from owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr., and thus total control of the organization, the Bills drastically shifted their power structure. A similar shift from Nix to Whaley also will be made at some point.
"Our plan hasn't changed with Doug since the day we hired him. I said the same thing when we hired him," Nix said. "We're bringing in a guy that's very experienced. He's done some really good things on good teams. He's a smart guy. He's the kind of character we want, and he's gotten better every day. The plan's the same. We want somebody that the transition's going to be smooth. He can make the next step."
The natural follow-up question to Nix's answer, then, was "when?"
"We'll let you know when we announce that," he said.
In an interview with WGR Radio following Tuesday's press conference, Brandon said, "we're working on the parameters to keep him here long-term; Doug's not going anywhere."
Given the vast experience he has at a young age, the 40-year-old Whaley would be an attractive candidate for any of the five NFL teams with current job openings at general manager. But he said that's not his focus.
"Right now I accepted a challenge when I took this position, to get this franchise back to where we know it should be, and that's my focus," Whaley said. "I'm a competitor. ... There's nothing been promised to me, but to give me the resources to do my job to help those guys [Brandon and Nix] put this franchise on the right track. I love a challenge. That's what I signed up for, and I hope to be here long enough to see it completed."
Asked whether he had received any assurances from either Brandon or Nix that he'd be the next GM, Whaley said, "I look at it this way. They said it's a results-based business. And if we don't get the results, I may not even be here. As long as the results turn out to be positive, everything else will take care of itself. I'm not worried about that."
Whaley came to the Bills in 2010 after 11 years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he served as the team's pro scouting coordinator. He was promoted to his current position of assistant general manager and director of player personnel on May 6, 2011.
During the season, Whaley would typically spend the early part of the week scouring roster moves made around the NFL, then scout top college talent later in the week. He'd then evaluate the Bills on weekends.
"Basically, I try to give Buddy the most accurate information [for] what he needs to make his decision – be it personnel-wise, or scout-wise, or salary cap-wise, or anything," he said. "I'm here to filter information and give him the best options out there to make an educated decision."
That's a role that will not change, at least for the current time.
"I'm going to work my hardest to help Buddy and help this organization put a winning product on the field," Whaley said.
Eventually, however, with Nix being 73 years old, it will be Whaley's show to run.
"I think when you come in at 70 years old, you don't expect a 20-year run, or I don't," Nix said. "The whole thing when we started this thing is to get it on solid ground both in the personnel department and on our roster. We're going to continue to do that, but again, you're not talking about another 15 years.
"You have to have a transition into something. A man only has got so much of this in him seven days a week about 15 hours a day."
Whaley will join Brandon, Nix and senior vice president of football administration Jim Overdorf on the team's coaching search. The group was off to Arizona right after Tuesday's press conference.
"We're going to have to go from top to bottom with a new coach and see how far we are [from contention] and get some moves to make us relevant," Whaley said.

Check out PEOPLE's picks below for hot spots fit for a prince to eat, drink and be merry in The City That Never Sleeps.
Bounce Sporting Club
Prince Harry may be able to get into the sporting spirit with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill or Marc Anthony, who are all fans of the high-end sports bar, which boasts truffle mac and cheese, along with tuna nachos – and special guest deejays.
Courtesy of Bounce
"As an athlete, it is a perfect place for Prince Harry to enjoy the evening dining on gourmet food while watching his favorite sporting events," partner Cole Bernard tells PEOPLE. "There's not a bad seat in the house, but even in the VIP area where you have your private TVs, you still don't miss out on the fun and entertainment going on in the venue. You get the best of both worlds – royal treatment with a taste of the hustle and bustle of N.Y.C.'s riveting nightlife scene."
In case the prince is feeling a little homesick or simply just wants to take a breather from partying, DavidsTea (there are three N.Y.C. locations) offers more than 150 blends of fresh, unique flavors including forever nuts (made with almonds, apple bits, cinnamon and beetroot turns) and lime gelato – along with traditional flavors he's probably used to like English breakfast.
"NYC is too fast-paced for the traditional British teatime, but that doesn't mean New Yorkers can't enjoy an amazing cup while they rush to their next appointment," co-founder David Segal says. "If Harry is looking to bring back any souvenirs ... our Big Apple tea is a must-have."
Beauty & Essex
This Essex street locale is known for its lively brunch and around-the-clock menu created by Chef Chris Santos, which features decadent dishes like Asian spice rubbed pork ribs, salt and vinegar fries, grilled cheese, smoked bacon and tomato soup dumplings. Beauty & Essex hosts everything from big events to birthday parties. After a late night of partying, this hotspot is a perfect stop for Prince Harry – the kitchen is open until 1:00 a.m. nightly.
"On any given night, Beauty & Essex houses Hollywood royalty like Tom Cruise, Jay-Z and Beyoncé," the venue's general manager Jared Boles tells PEOPLE. "It would be a natural fit that Prince Harry would make a stop here during his New York visit."
Courtesy of Dream Hotel
PH-D Rooftop Lounge
The luxurious penthouse of the Dream Downtown hotel is not only where Robert Pattinson partied with his Cosmopolis cast in August, but also where Cameron Diaz and Diddy have sparked dating rumors.
"Prince Harry might want to start his evening at PH-D,where he can enjoy cocktails on the terrace and can have a nice conversation while taking in the view of the Empire State Building," Rich Thomas, partner at Strategic Group, tells PEOPLE of the 1500 sq. ft. outdoor terrace. "The world's hottest deejays spin a variety of today's most sought after tunes at PH-D every night."
Marquee New York
As one of the nightlife staples in N.Y.C., recently reopened Marquee has been home to many stars over the years, including Adam Levine and Jamie-Lynn Sigler. Since its January renovation, it has hosted some of the world's biggest deejays, including David Guetta.
"Prince Harry would probably enjoy a nice night out dancing and letting loose after what's already been a demanding year for him, [including his] deployment to Afghanistan," says Thomas of the venue, which has a Las Vegas counterpart. "Marquee has brought back the large dance club which has been missing from N.Y.C. for quite some time."

Hillary Clinton in Hospital After Blood Clot Found
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was admitted to a New York hospital Sunday after doctors discovered she was suffering from a blood clot related to a concussion she sustained earlier this month.
Washington Wire
Mrs. Clinton was being treated with anticoagulant drugs at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and would be monitored there for the next 48 hours, the State Department said. Aides didn't specify where the clot had formed. Philippe Reines, Mrs. Clinton's spokesman, said the blood clot was discovered during a follow-up exam that Mrs. Clinton had Sunday in New York.
"Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion," Mr. Reines said Sunday night. "They will determine if any further action is required."
She is scheduled to step down early next year as secretary of state. President Barack Obama has nominated Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.), to succeed her.
Her hospital admission is the latest in a health struggle the former first lady, 65 years old, has endured over the past four weeks.
Mrs. Clinton's aides haven't specified the date she suffered her concussion, or where she was at the time. She had to cancel her scheduled appearance Dec. 20 before House and Senate committees investigating the September attack on U.S. diplomatic posts in Benghazi, Libya.
On Friday, the State Department said it expected Mrs. Clinton to return to work this week, though they said her doctors had ruled out any foreign travel until at least mid-January.
Her condition could have political implications in Washington, as many Democrats and Republicans believe she may run for president in 2016, though she has denied such speculation.
Mrs. Clinton has been ailing since she returned from a European trip Dec. 7. Aides said she contracted a stomach virus on the trip. She canceled a Middle East trip the following week.
On Dec. 15, the State Department said she had suffered a concussion after fainting due to dehydration associated with her stomach virus.
If Mrs. Clinton is being treated with anticoagulants, as the State Department said, it is unlikely the clot is in her brain, said Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist at Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Krumholz has no direct knowledge of her case.
Anticoagulants are typically used to treat and prevent clots in blood vessels, including for a condition called deep vein thrombosis. This condition, which can result from prolonged bed rest and sometimes from airplane flights, involves formation of clots in leg veins. They can break away and travel to the lungs, causing what is called pulmonary embolism, a potentially dangerous lung problem.
Blood clots on the brain, called hematomas, may result from a broken blood vessel and they cause pressure to build up around the space where they form. That pressure often essentially seals off the injury and stops the bleeding.
Giving anticoagulants for such a clot would break the seal and "keep the clot growing instead of containing it," Dr. Krumholz said.
The website of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that in rare cases, a blood clot can form on the brain of someone with a concussion.
Lee Schwamm, vice chairman of neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, said clots could form in what are called venous sinus channels in the brain, structures that serve as "gutters" to drain blood from the brain back to the heart. Clots in those channels are "uncommon," said Dr. Schwamm said, but if they form, they could lead to seizures and other serious consequences and treatment with blood thinners would be appropriate.
Mrs. Clinton's illness has fed into the continuing political battle in Washington tied to the attack in Libya, which killed four Americans, including American ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens.
An independent probe into the attack authorized by Mrs. Clinton found that the State Department failed to respond to numerous warnings that the Benghazi mission was vulnerable to attack by local militants. It is also concluded that U.S. diplomatic security had provided adequate security for the American consulate there, and an associated annex.
Although Mrs. Clinton's illness forced her to cancel testimony on Benghazi, she said she planned to give testimony in January, after her health improved. The State Department didn't say Sunday whether Mrs. Clinton's hospital stay would affect her plan to testify.

When the Hatters dropped their conference opener in Fort Myers on Jan. 4, it certainly left a sour taste. However, Stetson head coach Lynn Bria was quick to keep the team focused on the larger picture.
"I told our players this is not the end-all be-all," Bria said after the game. "We would have loved to win here and start conference play off with a win, but there are a lot of games left. When you put too much of an emphasis on one game, you really get in trouble."
There were indeed a lot of games left. Sixteen, in fact, between then and now. The Hatters have won each and every one, and now face a rematch with Florida Gulf Coast next Saturday in DeLand with the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season title on on the line.
"It is a position I didn't expect to be in, I'll be honest," Bria said following Saturday's win over Lipscomb. "At the beginning of the year I thought we would be somewhere in the middle of the pack, and maybe have a chance at the end. So I am pleasantly surprised that we are in this position, and it is a great position to be in. We've earned it, there is no question about it. We have to continue get better this week and prepare for next Saturday's game."
While the Hatters will be aiming for their first-ever regular season title, the winner will also claim home court advantage throughout the Atlantic Sun Championship. Both FGCU and Stetson will host quarterfinal games on Mar. 11 (along with USC Upstate and either Mercer or Jacksonville), and the highest remaining seed will host the tournament's semifinals and championship game on Mar. 15-16.
"After we lost our first conference game of the season, we realized there were no more losses we could take," senior Sasha Sims said. "We put oursleves in the position we want to be in and now it is all about getting the job done."
Saturday will also be senior day for the Hatters as they honor Sims and recognize her illustrious career achievements.

Former Niagara County Treasurer David S. Broderick Sr. contacted Niagara County sheriff's deputies Tuesday after he found someone had opened a credit card in his name and tried to make an Ebay purchase of more than $600.
Broderick told deputies that his credit card company contacted him about the suspicious purchase and he was notified at this time that an identity theft had occurred.
Broderick told deputies that the suspect provided his name and an incorrect date of birth and Broderick said he would follow up with a credit check account to make sure no more accounts are opened by this person in his name.
