FEATURE Colonial Athletic Association wrestlers battle for limited opportunities to qualify for NCAA ChampionshipsIt is conference weekend in Div. I college wrestling, and the qualifying meets for the NCAA Championships (except for the Pac-10 Championships) are being held across the nation. Of all weeks of the college season, this one may be the most stressful. These are the tournaments that determine which wrestlers qualify for the NCAA Championships.
In the "major" conferences, the name of the game is to qualify as many wrestlers as possible for the NCAA Tournament, in order to have a better chance for a high team placement a few weeks later. There are more qualifying spots in some conferences, based upon past performance by their schools at the NCAA event as determined by an NCAA formula.
In some cases, the pressure to perform may be higher at the less prominent conferences, which have fewer qualifying spots. Although the field may not be as difficult in these meets, there is less room for error. Each individual knows that he must have a peak performance in order to advance to the next level.
One such conference is the Colonial Athletic Association, which is holding its annual championships at Drexel Univ. in Philadelphia, Pa. The conference includes one nationally prominent program, Hofstra Univ., which ended the dual meet season ranked No. 21, led by a number of nationally-ranked individual athletes. Two of Hofstra's wrestlers who are considered favorites to become All-Americans this year are No. 5 Mike Patrovich at 174 pounds and No. 8 Jon Masa at 149 pounds. Coach Tom Ryan has built a program that is now consistently competing on a national level.
This is an 11-team conference, with a number of respected programs and some talented individuals. Currently, the CAA has 23 qualifiers for the NCAA Championships. The teams have decided that the top two athletes in this tournament will qualify for the NCAAs, plus three wildcards selected after the championships.
The dream of competing in the NCAA Championships is the same for every Div. I college wrestler, regardless of conference.
Every athlete knows that if he makes the CAA gold-medal match, he will punch a ticket to Oklahoma City, Okla. for the NCAA Tournament at the Ford Center, March 16-18. That means today, the first day of wrestling, a wrestler needs to end the day unbeaten. The high-pressure semifinals are held on Saturday morning, and anybody who does not win there has to go back into the wrestle-backs and work back for third place and a 30% chance at a wildcard selection.
Everybody expects the athletes from Hofstra to do well for coach Tom Ryan. A few other programs come into the meet with high expectations. Rider, under coach Gary Taylor, was the last team other than Hofstra to win this conference tournament. Drexel, with Coach Jack Childs, has shown great improvement, setting a season dual meet win record this year with 20 victories.
"We have nine wrestlers here and I expect to get nine qualifiers," said Ryan. "If we wrestle to our seeds, we will have nine."
Some of the other teams are pumping up their programs. Old Dominion has brought in nationally-respected high school coach Steve Martin from the famous Virginia Martin family, and has made waves in recruiting circles. Binghamton, which dropped wrestling a few years back, was revived through support from the governor of New York and has hired a top young coach in Tony Robie to rebuild the team. Other teams in the conference have respected coaches, including wrestling legend Carl Adams at Boston University and 2004 Olympic Greco-Roman coach Andy Seras at Sacred Heart. Things are looking up at within CAA wrestling.
The number of NCAA qualifiers at this tournament is a hot subject for the coaches in the conference, who have seen the number drop in recent years. At one point, when the current conference was formed with the combination of the old East Coast Wrestling Association and the CAA, there were 30 qualifiers. Last year, they had 24 qualifiers, and now are down to 23. This is happening at a time when the conference may be getting stronger in terms of competitive wrestling.
The NCAA allows only 330 wrestlers in the national tournament each year and the qualifiers are divided up based upon a formula that is designed to measure performance. A key to this is how many athletes each conference place in the top 12 at the nationals. However, many will point out that the conferences that have more qualifiers have a better chance to get their wrestlers in the top 12 and retain or expand their numbers.
"We are not in the worst situation as a conference, but the situation isn't good. It doesn't improve for the smaller conferences," said Ryan. "With the formula, it doesn't take into consideration that the teams are getting more scholarships here. Hofstra went from six to 9.9 scholarships. There are other teams in the conference that are getting more support, also. As the school gives the team more money, it takes awhile for the performance to go up. Last year, 20% of the kids from this conference were in the top 12 at the NCAA meet."
Seras believes that the number of qualifiers may be close to what it might deserve at this time, but notes that the teams and athletes in the conference are continuing to improve.
"It may take a few years but it is getting stronger. The commitment of the administrations in the conference is making a difference," said Seras. "Everybody is fighting to get better."
Adams, who serves on the Rules Committee, understands the challenge in deciding who gets to attend the NCAA meet, but has to deal with the reality that his team faces.
"The way I look at it, if I get two or three athletes through to the NCAAs, it is a good year. Hofstra will have eight or nine qualifiers, so that leaves 14 spots left for 10 teams. It's not anybody's fault. It is that the NCAA only allows 330 spots. In the CAA, you have five or six fully-funded teams, and others who have funding. You have a lot of quality kids. It is hard to get to the finals. And you must make the finals. You can't count on getting the the NCAAs if you don't make the finals with only three wildcards. It is just very tough to qualify," said Adams.
There are some hotly contested weight classes in this tournament, where some quality Div. I athletes may be unable to advance to the nationals based upon the sheer numbers.
Coaches concur that the 197-pound division is the most loaded this year, and has numerous quality wrestlers. There is one athlete who is currently nationally ranked, No. 19 Adam Wright, a senior from Old Dominion. However, TJ Morrison of Rider, Chris Weidman of Hofstra and Jon Oplinger of Drexel have strong records, and one or more of these wrestlers may not advance to the NCAA meet.
Childs uses his wrestler Oplinger as an example of how tough it is for an athlete to qualify for the NCAAs at a deep weight class here.
"He's seeded fourth in the CAA," said Childs of his 197-pounder Oplinger. "This year, he was ranked No. 19 nationally at one time. He beat the 16th ranked wrestler from Lehigh in the dual meet recently. That shows the depth of this conference."
Childs has issues with the way the NCAA allots its qualifiers, and how it affects the teams in his conference.
"The formula is inequitable," said Childs. "We have 110 participants and we take 23. The Big Ten has the same number of wrestlers and takes 76. We have to rework the formula. We want the Rules Committee to use their head and do what's right for wrestling. The NCAA won't relent on adding more qualifiers for the NCAAs, even if the teams pay their own way."
Once the CAA Championships are over, the intense rivalries between the teams goes away. The coaches and athletes will start rooting for each other at the NCAA meet. For the CAA to get back some of the lost qualifiers, the athletes who emerge from this tournament have to get the job done at the NCAAs in two weeks.
Consider Payam Zarrinpour of Sacred Heart, who is currently ranked No. 10 in the NWCA/Intermat national rankings. Zarrinpour is a junior who came to the United States a few seasons ago from Iran, where he was a national-caliber Greco-Roman star. Zarrinpour had to learn the American folkstyle wrestling when he came here. He had a strong NCAA Tournament last year, falling one match short of All-American honors. Zarrinpour was a third at the Midlands Championships this year and has improved. Sacred Heart has not had an All-American in its wrestling history, and Zarrinpour is hoping to become the first this year.
"He still has all the weapons he has always had, the upper body, explosiveness and the ability to pin," said Seras. "He has added much more. He has better fundamentals. He is more familiar in all positions, but especially on the top."
If Zarrinpour is able to place at the NCAAs this year, Seras says it will help his program tremendously.
"It would be getting to the promised land," said Seras. "It would mean that we can compete with the best in the country. Hopefully, then our administration would support our program even more. Once the ice is broken, everybody will feel it is attainable. It is just so tough to break the ice."
Drexel was able to crack that barrier two years ago, when it earned its first All-American after lightweight Rob Rebman placed at the NCAA Tournament. It was a cause for celebration at the college and big boost for the program.
"It showed we broke the ice, and that it was possible," said Childs. "Four times before, we were in the top 12 but did not get an All-American. It had a positive effect on the athletes in the program at that time, and in recruiting, it has brought many others into the program."
Regardless of what CAA teams take wrestlers to the NCAA Championships, it will be the 23 individuals who travel to Oklahoma City who will carry the banner for the entire conference.
Ryan indicated that the conference coaches are considering changing the way it picks its qualifiers, taking the 10 champions then selecting 13 qualifiers. They are watching how other conferences determine their selections and taking another look at their procedures. The coaches know that whoever gets to go to the nationals will have to do the job if the conference is ever going to get more qualifiers.
"We are trying to get the best 23 guys at the nationals," said Ryan. "That is the goal of this tournament."

Tiffin's Mast mystifies Eagles
ASHLAND - Karli Mast was having her best game of the season.
So, down by one with less than a minute left at Ashland, TU women's basketball coach Pam Oswald knew there was one person to turn to.
Mast hit her seventh 3-pointer of the afternoon, giving the Dragons a 79-77 lead with 20 seconds left. Ashland had a chance to tie following a foul on Ashland's Alyssa Miller, but Miller split the free throws.
From there, the Dragons went 4 of 4 from the line and won, 83-80.
Mast made two free throws with less than a second left to help seal the win. The pair of foul shots were her only points that didn't come from a 3-pointer. She finished with 23 points to go with three assists and a steal.
"She was on fire the whole game, wanting the ball, wanting to take that shot," Oswald said.
Mast wasn't the only senior to come up big. Jillian Adams had 16 points and 11 rebounds as the Dragons improved to 6-11, 3-10 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
"(The seniors were) playing hard and giving the rest of the team energy," Oswald said.
Bre Nauman had eight points and nine rebounds for Tiffin, while Katie Miller and Jordan Fraley had 10 points each.
"I thought our players did a really good job of maintaining discipline, sticking with the game plan," Oswald said. "The whole game we were patient and under composure."
Suzy Wollenhaupt scored 29 points for Ashland (10-8, 2-11 GLIAC).
Late comeback attempt comes up short for TU men
ASHLAND - Trailing Ashland by 14 points with about six minutes left in regulation, Tiffin went on a run, but was unable to finish it.
Ashland, behind Cole Krizancic's 20 points and 15 points from Wendell Davis off the bench, held on, beating the Dragons 78-72.
Tiffin started the game on a 12-4 run, and led for most of the game's first 15 minutes.
But even then, TU coach Jerry Buccilla said he thought the Dragons could have put themselves in a better position. But some turnovers killed that possibility.
"I felt we could have had them down and hurt them in the first 10 minutes of the first half," Buccilla said.
Then, Ashland went on an 7-0 run to end the first half, and went to the break with a 34-26 advantage.
"We should have been down five, but didn't handle that last last minute well," Buccilla said.
Still, the Dragons came back. After being down by as many as 16 in the second half, TU, led by Khaleal McCormick, cut the lead to four - 62-56 - with 2:59 left. The Dragons defense then played tough on the following possession, but with a second left on the shot clock, Ashland's Boo Osborne his a 3, extending the Eagle lead back to nine.
Tiffin got the lead down to four in the final minute, but Ashland made 10 of 12 foul shots down the stretch to hold on.
McCormick scored 23 points and added 16 rebounds to pace the Dragons, who fell to 7-11, 3-10 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Joe Graessle had 19 points in the loss.
Ashland improved to 8-10, 5-9 GLIAC.

In the event of a power loss, generators can be a priceless tool for the comfort and safety of home and business owners.
John Tracey, store manager of Tractor Supply Co. in Tiffin, said his store sells a variety of portable and whole-house generators to provide back-up power for everyday electric service.
Portable generators, he said, provide about 3,500-5,000 watts, and intermittently will power different appliances and other needs in a home in the event of a power outage. Portable generators, he said, cost between $200 and $1,000, depending on size, and are "very reliable."
Whole-house generators, Tracey said, can "power everything in the house," and 15 models are available through TSC.
Whole-house generators, he said, cost about $3,500, and must be installed by an electrician, which increases the cost.
Like the portable variety, whole-house generators are sold based on the kilowatt hour requirements of a household or business. For example, Tracey said, a 2,000-square-foot home typically would require a 12-15 kilowatt generator to provide for whole-house power needs.
Tracey said customers should not plan on purchasing a generator for one-time use and then returning it.
"It (the generator) will be needed again," he said.

Hi "Missionary Girlfriends" out there, finally a website for us!!! I have searched and searched for some information or some sort of support on being a " Missionary Girlfriend" and i have had no luck... So i decided to make a stand for all of us, I am giving us all some where to go when we are down in the dumps counting down the days for our elders to get home, when we feel like there is no one else in the world who could possibly understand what were going through- So sit back relax grab some chocolate and of course some "Letters" and lets chat about what its like being one of "US".
Well I am on month 3, not the most pleasent month but hey, its better then month 1... Right? I am still the typical "missionary girlfriend" I stalk the post man, I am the most loved customer at the post office, I am like a giddy child when THE LETTER is here, i still pick up the phone to call ???, i still do drive bys to just make sure he is still in texas, I have 3 countdown calendars and i dont miss a day, and I am just anxiously awaitng the day of his return!!! My favorite things now are watching sad movies just to get a good cry out, making fun packages, writing letters, stocking up on stationary, and eating all the junk food in the house till i feel like im going to be sick... Sound familar??? Well of course becuase at some point or another in this 24 month procces we have all been in this stage... Lets hope it gets better!!!
Well over the past couple months i have found some great talks, some cute quotes, and have stocked up on some great avice... So when your lonely heres some things that will help you stay strong and get through!!!
The typical 24 month Cylce-
Before- Emotional Rollercoaster for both of you...
1-3 Months- DIFFICULT!!! For both you and the missionary, remember to support him and let him know how proud of him you are...
4-6 Months- Time gets ticking, you feel amazing once you hit the 6 month mark
6-9 Months- Goes by pretty fast, Remember to stay close with you missionary, pray for them and write letters that are supportive and friendly!!! He will need reassurance- so will you!
9-12 Months- It all slows down... But once you hit a year you feel like its a peice a cake, untill you realize you still have one more!!!
12-15 Months- SLOW!!! Thats all i have to say...
15-20 Months- Flys by, your motivated to stick to it...
20-24 Months- Goes slower then ever, but you know you have made it, and nothing can get in your way!!!
here is a great poem about the classic missionary girlfriend...
The Missionary's Girl:
Somewhere between the whirl of teen-age dates and the responsibility of matrimony, we find a lone creature called the Missionary's Girl.
They come in two varieties... engaged and hopefuls. They come in assorted sizes, weights, and colors, blue being the most common.
The missionary's girl is found at home, missing parties (Just the parties that have overzealous RM's), staying away from dances (too depressing without ??? there), paying her own way to the movies, and buying stationary by the gross.
Missionaries love them, young girls look up to them, parents tolerate them, postmen hate them, and weekly letters support them.
A missionary's girl is a composite. She has the appetite of a hormonally unstable 18-year-old girl, the enthusiasm of a wet noodle, the patience of Job, the persistence of a stainless steel salesman and the imagination of Scherazade.
She likes letters from the mission field, invitations to his home, long distance telephone calls, items for his scrapbook, pictures of him, and other girls who are waiting (I LOVE my MGs!).
She isn't much for Saturday nights out on the town ; people who say, "Two years is a long time"; or "Don't waste your time" or the classic " so much can happen in two years" , new clothes with no one to wear them for; sad movies and music; movies with love scenes; knitting; wedding receptions; little sisters who date; calenders; and "Dear Janes."
A missionary's girl is an odd object: She can get lonesome, discouraged, and temporarily lose faith in the whole missionary system. No one else can write such cheerful letters in such a rotten mood. No one else can get such a thrill at the end of the day by the words, "Why yes, there is a letter for you." Nobody else is so early to bed and so early to rise.(More like....Nobody else is capable of writing such competent, lengthy, and entertaining letters in the wee hours of the morning.)
A missionary's girl is virtue with no chance to be otherwise, faith with twenty-four months to wait, prudence with 69 cents in her savings account, and beauty with no one to give a darn.
Yes, she is all this, but it will all be forgotten the day he receives his letter of release and, upon his arrival home she will probably utter the words she once considered trite, "It hasn't seemed like any time at all!"
~ Dan Valentine
Here are some great quotes that i found about waiting...
- We only part to meet again- John Gay
-How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard- Carol Sobieski
- Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of seperation- Kahlil Gibran
- The return makes one love the farewell- Alfred De Musset-
-The one good thing about not seeing you is that i can write you letters- Svetlanan Alliluyeva-
- Never cut short your waiting with compromise. simply put the waiting is not over until the waiting is done- Duke Rohe
Patience is waiting, Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow- that is patience- Unkown
- Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will. - Dr. Robert Anthony
- Waiting is a struggle against silence- Carlos Fuentes
-Loving is NEVER a waste of time- Astrid Alauda-
- Loving is missing someone whenever your apart, but somehow feeling warm inside becuase your close at heart- Kay Knudsen.
-Sometimes when one person is missing the whole world seems depopulated- Lamartine-
*** Missing someone gets easier everyday because eventhough its one day further from the last time you saw each other, its one day closer to the next time you will...*** Unknown-
There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because his conscience tells him it is right." -Martin Luther
***Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Hold out for the man that will fight for you, no matter the cost.Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends.Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."

Oatmeal with blackstrap molasses or grade B maple syrup most days, yams, and all the fruit I want. I eat what makes me feel good. Oatmeal makes me feel good, ice cream doesn't. Go figure. Anyway my hands are pleasantly warm all the time now.
One thing that has happened to me in the last few months is that the very tips of my fingers and sometimes my toes get cold.
From what I've read this is vasoconstriction due to a lowered metabolism. Possibly caused by eating VLC, electrolyte deficiencies, or Reynauds disease....
I thought that it might be a potassium deficiency and am taking a banana (with whipped cream, natch!) every second day and that seems to help a bit.
Is this normal for others out there? If you have had it, what did you do to treat yourself (if anything?)

Hm. Going low carb fixed my cold extremities issues. I used to sleep with socks on (sexy right?) but I'm comfortably warm now.
When I first saw the title I thought it was Icky VFF fingers.
Are you eating enough? I get cold when it's cold out and I'm fasting for a long time. The whole low carb destroys your metabolism thing is a crock of shit, by the way.

Do not allow yourself to become wrapped up in a food 'lifestyle'. That is ego, and you are not that.
I have had this my whole life. (Not Reynaud's; they don't go white, though they can go purple with orange spots if they're old enough.) I've always assumed it was part of me. the thing is that most of the time it doesn't bother me – they're cold to the touch but they don't feel cold to me. In fact, often if they're warm it's because the rest of me is uncomfortably hot!

MOBILE, Alabama – A 21-year-old man was killed early Friday morning in a single-car accident at the intersection of Dauphin Island Parkway and Duval Street, according to the Mobile Police Department.
In a news release, the department said officers responded to the wreck around 3 a.m. to find Jermaine Davis dead of his injuries and 2 passengers with serious injuries. The injured were transported to a local hospital.
The release said the white Mercury Grand Marquis the three were traveling in left the roadway and struck a power pole, and detectives are saying speed is believed to be a factor.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Mobile Police Department at 251-208-7211.

New Subtitle: Bacon
I have long been an admirer of bacon. I have also come across and increasing number of bacon related products and experiments lately, so I decided to jump in and spread the bacon love.
The most recent? Bacon Vodka. Yes! Bacon Vodka. How awesome is that? The only thing that makes it more awesome is you can make it yourself.

We live in tense and stressful times.
"But you can easily avoid adding to the turbulence," says Mike George, meditation teacher and author of 1,001 Ways to Relax. "In fact, you can become one of those people for whom the world has a great need; those who can stay calm in a crisis, cool in the midst of chaos and focused on the positive when everyone around you is inclined to reinforce the negative. If you can stay relaxed and calm, it helps others do the same."
Having spent 20 years researching stress and teaching meditation and stress management techniques, Mr. George is uniquely suited to suggest the following ways to avoid and deal with the stresses in your life.
Forget yesterday's mistakes. Today is a new day. Your mind has been refreshed by sleep, and there's no need to believe that yesterday's misjudgments or misfortunes will repeat themselves.
Decide to be happy today, no matter what happens or who does what. It's within your power to make this choice. "Happiness is the true condition of the self-aware, and its source lies within ourselves," says Mr. George. "To decide to be happy is a positive, self-fulfilling action, comparable to saying 'I do' in a marriage ceremony."
Create a personal affirmation and declare it 20 times to yourself each morning. "Affirmations are simple, positive 'I am…' statements—such as 'I am at peace,' 'I am a tower of strength'—that build self-esteem and a strong sense of self," says Mr. George. "They counter the negative messages we often give ourselves by reminding us of our intrinsic value."
Press the center of your palm with the thumb of your other hand to relieve nervousness in stressful situations, such as interviews. Increase the pressure steadily as you breathe out. Hold for three to seven seconds. Release the pressure as you breathe in. Repeat three times or until you feel your anxiety slip away.
Don't just do something, sit there! Contrary to the usual phrase, this is sometimes the best approach when emotions are running high, your problems seem overwhelming or your internal compass isn't giving you a clear direction to follow. Simply take a few moments to sit in stillness, gathering your strength. Give your mind and body permission to relax.
Unravel a problem. Most problems have a number of strands tangled together, often in complicated ways. If it seems impossible to unravel the knot, make a start by trying to name each of the different strands. Draw them on paper, with a word or two alongside each separate line to label it. You may find that identifying the pieces of the problem in this way leads to a breakthrough in working out a solution.
Think of reasons why you can do something, rather than why you can't—all it takes is a shift in attitude. Once you've broken the negative logic of your thinking, you create space in which positive approaches can appear.
Act "as if." Your mind is very suggestible. If you act as if you're calm, happy and free of stress, eventually you'll find it becomes a reality.
Really listen to people. By paying close attention to others, you stay in balance with them. Actively listen to what other people are saying.

Retailer Lists Ratchet & Clank HD Collection
Written Friday, March 02, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Sony's HD Collection juggernaut rolls on. Looks like we can add Ratchet & Clank to the list of PlayStation exclusive series to get a high def makeover.
Amazon France has a listing for Ratchet & Clank HD, claiming that the collection will be out on May 16th. The contents of the compilation are not detailed, but four Ratchet & Clank titles were released on PS2; the original, Going Commando/Locked and Loaded, Up Your Arsenal and Deadlocked/Gladiator.
Two PSP games were also ported over to PS2, in the form of Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank (2009).
It's worth noting however, that previous Sony HD Collections have contained a maximum of three titles, so perhaps this is the original trilogy? It's also worth noting that none of these details have been confirmed by Sony. It would seem inevitable though.

Make your own whimsical fairy, gnome garden
Gardens are home to many creatures.
Worms. Bees. Butterflies. Moles. Maybe even a few fairies.
That's right. Fairies. And gnomes, too.
These fantastical beings have inspired a growing trend of fairy and gnome gardens: miniature havens made specifically for fae folk that add a magical touch to any home or yard.
Making one is easy. All you really need is a container -- whether it's a shallow pot, tub or old tire -- potting soil, plants, whimsical d�cor and viola! Fairies and gnomes will be drawn to it in no time.
Not that you can actually see them, of course. Most fairy-tale critters can't be observed with the human eye.
But plenty of people believe. More than 50 people turned out for a Stan's Garden Center seminar on fairy gardens earlier this spring, said Josh Skarzenski, vice president of Stan's Garden Center.
"This has been huge in the garden industry for a long time," Skarzenski said. "It's just catching on here."
Fairy and gnome gardens have also captured the imaginations of younger, technology-driven generations less likely to garden.
"If you Pinterest it, it's crazy," he said. "It's very difficult to get them involved in anything garden-related and getting their fingers dirty."
But adults like them, too. Debbie Gast, owner of Le Jardin Florals & Furnishings in Edinboro, sells a wide variety of fairy garden d�cor -- from miniature chicken coops to teensy-weensy wineglasses -- to help create elaborate and customizable little gardens.
"They are lots of fun," said Gast, who likes to decorate her fairy garden to coordinate with the seasons or holidays. " I love mine, and I change it all the time."

President Obama said in a speech Wednesday night at the White House that homosexuals should be treated like all other Americans.
The president has gone on record opposing same-sex marriage, but he sought to navigate a middle position by saying the matter shouldn't be decided by the federal government.
Obama touted his administration's accomplishments on behalf of the gay and lesbian community, including doing away with the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy and refusing to defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
"I've met my commitments to the LGBT community," he said. "I've delivered on what I promised."
"Now that doesn't mean our work is done," he added.
CBN News spoke with political analyst Ford O'Connell about the president's commitment to the gay community and how it could impact 2012 elections. O'Connell is co-founder of ProjectVirginia, a group that specializes in using social media for political action. Click play for his comments.
The president didn't explain how his personal feelings about gay marriage have evolved, but he praised the process in New York that led to legalized gay marriage in that state.
"What gives me hope is the deeper shift that we are seeing," Obama said. "That's a transformation not just in our laws but in the hearts and minds of people. It's playing out in legislatures like New York."
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg praised Sen. James Alesi, R-Perinton, for being the first Republican state senator to back same-sex marriage.
"Senator, I think you will go down in history books as the legislator who helped turn the tide on marriage equality, not only here in New York state, but I think this is going to spread across the country," Bloomberg said.
However, traditional marriage supporters won't give up the fight.
The National Organization for Marriage has pledged $2 million to target seven state senators who switched sides.
"In order to change policy on marriage, we're going to have to change personnel in Albany - starting with the turncoat senators who made promises to their constituents on marriage and then voted the opposite way," NOM President Brian Brown said.
Meanwhile, it appears the president has changed his position on defending DOMA in court.
In February, he instructed Attorney Gen. Eric Holder to stop defending the law. Now government lawyers say he's instructed them to defend the law until Congress or a court strikes it down.

"Kamalama reminds local people of what we already knew, but lost" explained a graduate. Neighborhood Place of Wailuku's Kamalama parenting class utilizes time-honored values to help parents bring back the love and respect that traditionally
steered Hawaiian families but have often been lost in modern-day Hawaii.
Kamalama was designed by Neighborhood Place of Wailuku's founder and former Executive Director Venus Rosete-Medeiros, and we have graduated more than 230 parents in our Happy Valley facility and 150 inmates at Maui Community Correctional Center.
While our program for incarcerated fathers focuses on parenting, it is ultimately about relating to anyone. One participant, because of Drug Court and Kamalama, feels hopeful about the future for the first time in his adult life. His goal for when he gets out of jail is to lead a brigade of Native Hawaiians cleaning up Kahoolawe.
"Before Kamalama I always lashed out. I heard my 3- and 4-year-olds saying, 'Daddy doesn't love us.' My own babies didn't know that I loved them," lamented another participant as his wife stood by, tears streaming down her cheeks. These responses are common as participants regain a connection to their heritage through the parenting process.
In the MCCC fathers' class, the facilitator instructed the men to stand on a small carpet, which they then needed to turn over without stepping off. "I have full confidence that you will be able to complete this exercise within three minutes" he stated. The inmates used teamwork and communication to accomplish the task in record time.
While it appears to be only an exercise, learning to work together as a team sets the stage for working with others on the outside and developing positive self-esteem - which will ultimately decrease anti-social, illegal activity. Many people who end up in the criminal justice system have received very little positive feedback in their lives and thus behave according to expectations.
Often, simple parenting basics make all the difference.
"Kamalama class reminds me of my native culture, even though we were raised getting cracks. It reminds me of the real values of my culture, of tenderly caring for our children. I used to be angry all the time, about what American culture did to us. I've spent half my life in jail. But now, between therapy - which is also from American culture - and Kamalama parenting class, I've learned a new way to relate to my family," testified a graduate of our Happy Valley class.
The A'o Ikaika class explores appropriate discipline. The true meaning of the word is "to guide." Participants are asked how many received "lickings" when they were children. Virtually all raised their hands. The facilitator then told the legend of the splintered paddle: King Kamehameha was searching for human sacrifices for a heiau. He came upon two fishermen and began to chase them. His foot got caught in a fissure of lava and he tripped. One of the men hit him over the head with his paddle, breaking it. The man's companion then encouraged him to kill the (unknown to them) king. He replied, "Life is sacred" and spared him. This act of kindness so impressed Kamehameha that he put an end to human sacrifice with the saying, "Let the old men, women and children sleep in safety by the wayside."
What is most profound about this story is that Kamehameha abolished this violent practice and shifted from following the historic "das how" way of thinking to valuing care and compassion.
Kamalama encourages parent participants that even though we may have been raised a certain way, we too can make changes, and instead of complacently following the "das how" way of thinking, can create a safer, healthier and more loving environment for our children.
Programs such as Kamalama are prevention at its best. In order to decrease later costs in welfare, child abuse, drug abuse and incarceration, classes that have the trust of and are integrated within Happy Valley's Native Hawaiian community can immensely shift families' lives - which will have a positive ripple effect within the entire Maui community.
If you would like to participate in Neighborhood Place of Wailuku's Kamalama parenting class, call 986-0700.

Birthing Classes: Best Thing Ever or Total Waste of Time?Aela Mass
I never got as far as taking a birthing class. Not because I decided to not take one quite the opposite, actually; we were signed up for a Bradley Method class but I lost my twins at 17 weeks and the class never happened.
I had heard good things about birthing classes. They can help with labor. They can help your partner help you. Etc., etc. So we had signed up to give it a try.
It wasn't until I came across an article on The Stir that I first ever heard anyone say anything against birthing classes. Not that the author is totally against them. In fact, she admits the classes provided her with some valuable info. But, over all, she claims that all the time she spent in these classes was a total waste of time.
I never knew someone who had anything negative to say about birthing classes (except about their cost), so I was intrigued by this woman's experience. And, by the end of the article, I totally got it.
Giving birth is an amazing thing, sure. And it's work, yes. But it is temporary. It will end. What won't end is the care you now have to provide for this dependent little baby. At least, that's the author's point. And I think it's a good one.
Should we be spending more time focusing on what the heck to do when our Little Ones arrives into this world than on how to breathe during labor? What if all those hours spent in the birthing class were spent in a "How to Survive the First 3 Months" class? Would we be better prepared for those sleepless nights? Could anything prepare us for those sleepless nights?
What was your experience with your birthing class? Did you love it? Find it useful? Or was it a total waste of time?

Pete Hammond Remembers Ronni Chasen
Showbiz Publicists Help Ronni Chasen's Firm
R.I.P. Ronni Chasen
Oscar Publicist Ronni Chasen Shot And Killed In Beverly Hills Driving Back From 'Burlesque' Premiere In Hollywood
Of all my time in this business I can think of no one more dedicated to her clients, more doggedly determined to help them achieve their goals. In many ways, Ronni always reminded me of a sort of lost breed of press agent and she would always bend over backwards to help with a story. She also had the driest, most acerbic sense of humor. Yes she was no bullshit and very straightforward. She was persistent, yes, but also knew when to hold back. This is unbelievable to think I won't be seeing her anymore. There was barely an event, an awards show, a premiere, a party, or any number of press things where I didn't see her. The last was the Governors Awards Saturday. Recently we met in the Polo Lounge with her longtime client Dick Zanuck. She told me she couldn't think of three other times in the decades she had been working with him that he agreed to an interview like that. And then when the story ran, she emailed me from Paris where she was travelling to say he really liked it.
She always made me feel special. As a film music fan, I was particularly thrilled several years ago when she invited me backstage at the Hollywood Bowl to meet her client John Williams (she handled many of the A-list composers). She took a photo of us together and sent it to me. I still have it. More than anything she was a personal friend. Madelyn and I often had dinner with her (she wasn't afraid to be brutally honest with the waiters). We celebrated birthdays together. And there was always her annual Holiday party at her condo on Wilshire in Westwood. Such a great mix of people. One year when a guest inadvertently spilled red wine on her brand new white sofa pillow, she didn't freak out (okay, maybe a little) but quickly went into action with baking soda to try to salvage it. I have fond memories just this Labor Day riding with Ronni and her client Bonnie Arnold on the shuttle for the two hour ride from the Telluride Film Festival to the Montrose airport where we played Oscar trivia games in the back of the bus. I will be eternally grateful to have known Ronni and to have had her as a friend, a real friend. And now this. It's a sick world.
Very nice, Pete.
When there are no words, you find the right ones.
I find it difficult to express my grief and concern over this senseless brutal act of violence. I share your sentiments about Ronni completely. You describe her personality accurately. I always welcomed hearing from her because she was always kind and supportive word even in difficult situations.
Thank you Pete. Ronni was so special. She was a throwback to another time and yet was completely modern and immersed in the present. She loved this business with such zest and passion. She never let stupid things get in her way. She understood knowledge was power and with her clients she devoted herself tirelessly. I loved lunching with her on the patio at Orsos as she explained to me the who, what, where of this business.
My heart goes out to Jeff, her family and all who loved her so. She was the real deal.
nice tribute, pete. here at weissman/markovitz, we are staggering over this loss as we all have known ronnie for so long. 30 years, more or less. she was a classic and will remain a standard for the dedication and passion she had for her clients and this business.
Pete – my condolences go out to Madelyn and you…and of course the countless other people she left behind loving her.
Pete, Wonderful story, right on the money about Ronni. This is a tragic day for the entertainment industry that she loved so much. Such a violent,unecessary way for someone that cared for so many to die. She treated people with kindness(other than perhaps some waiters)advice and a helping hand. And as for her "dry & asceric" sense of humor, she would talk about retiring but that the "motion picture home would never work because their closets were too small for all of her clothes." A life well lived, shortened too soon. May her soul rest in peace.
Lynne Segall
Just lovely Pete. Was thinking about you and Mad in particular this morning. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story. It touched my heart. My heart goes out to her family and friends. It is super, super tough to experience the sudden loss that comes with death. It is even harder when the person was murdered.
Beautifully said Pete.
Beautiful and heartfelt Pete.
I certainly don't operate in the stratosphere that Pete glides thru, but Ronni always extended the same courtesy and professionalism. She treated us journalists with respect and earned coverage for her clients the old-fashioned way: through a clear understanding of the symbiotic relationship between the celebrities and those of us who cover them. It will be bittersweet going through the awards season without notes, soundtracks and phone calls from Ronni. She did her job superbly AND made friends. How rare is that? What a great legacy and what a tragic loss for all of us.
I had a message at 5 p.m. last night from Ronni on my phone this morning. I only wish I could have been in the office to speak to her.We were prepping for a star ceremony in December for one of her clients. I worked with her on many ceremonies and she always was so professional,determined and kind. Mr. Hammond your story about Ronni is wonderful and right on. She was truly one of a kind. My condolences to her brother and her family at Chasen P.R.
thanks, pete. hang in there…
Thank you for the heartfelt tribute. For over 20 years, Ronni was a friend to the USA Film Festival, serving on our National Advisory Committee. She was unfailingly generous with her ideas, knowledge and clients, and contributed to and shaped our organization in more ways than she knew. The chance to visit with her and experience her unvarnished candor, high-octane energy and glorious sense of humor was always a privilege. We learned from her, we admired her and we loved her. And how sad to say how much we will miss her.
Nicely written Pete. My heart goes out to you and Madelyn when I heard the news this morning, as well as Jeff Sanderson and her friends and family. What a tragic loss.
Well said and thanks for sharing.
Beautiful eulogy Pete, I'm sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to her friends and family. She was a legend and will be missed.
Warm and vivid piece, Pete, you captured her spirit and her humor.
Ronni was a fabulous publicist and more important a really decent human
being in a world which is not always so decent. She leaves a gaping hole.
Thank you Pete. No one will take her place. The world was a better place with her in it.
having known ronni for almost thirty years and seen her on the press line at "burlesque" last night, there are no words to help us comprehend this tragedy…..however, you, pete came as close as one could to describe the one of a kind woman that she was….a very sad day for all who knew her…..
Well said Pete. Ronni was one of a kind. A real passionate character who called 'em as she saw em. She will be missed and your words are a lovely farewell.
Thank you, Pete.
Thank you, Ronni.
It's wonderful to see all of these adulations. She surely deserves them.
What a gal.
You nailed her.
Thank you Pete. You said what a lot of us have not been able to express today. A very sad day indeed.
Thank you Pete for such a beautiful tribute.
Thank you Pete….my heart goes out to all her family and friends. She will certainly be
missed by all of her fellow publicists. Such a wonderful person. So sad.

Productive people most keenly feel the desire to be more productive.
But how do you get it all done...especially if your desk and files are in disarray?
How do you release the genie of a great idea from an organizational bottleneck?
Enter David Allen. More than an organizational expert, he is the guru of Getting Things Done
(which is also the title of one of his books). Big companies and big thinkers tap into his expertise.
At Levenger we've become converts, too, incorporating a number of his methods into managing our days.
Here's the short course on some of that methodology:
Mind Like Water
The allure of David Allen's techniques is that they speak to the mind and not just the stacks of paper moldering on your desk.
Mind like water is his motto. "Your ability to generate power is based on your ability to relax," says David. A black belt in karate,
he knows that the power of a punch comes not from muscle but from being focused and relaxed. "If your system is not keeping track of something,
your mind has to."
How to get your system to work as hard as your brain: clear up, focus and streamline. Mind like water.
Clear up. It's all in your headand it shouldn't be.
Corral those ideas, tasks and reminders into a controllable placelike an in-boxthat frees you
from mental fog. Then you can start to sort.
Define your projects and how to move them forward, as they come up.
Most of us focus well in a crisis. Focus appropriate attention beforehand and you may avert one.
Have everything you need together where and when you need it, and you'll save yourself from having to rethink why you had it in the first place.
It's as simple as clustering all actions that require a phone call.
What just happened: you collected data via your in-box and mentally processed it ("Is it actionable? Should I trash it?").
Now you're ready to organize it: offload it from in-box to Do, Delegate or Defer.
And in the process, you've freed your mind to do what it does best: think.
Three productivity tips that may surprise you

It seems like summer vacation just started, but really we're only a few weeks away from sending our kids back to school. It can be a time of anxiety and confusion for autistic students and a time of preparation and worry for their parents. But it's also an important time of planning for teachers. Here are some tips for parents and teachers that can ease the transition from a summer mind-set to a school year focus.
10 Tips for Families of Autistic Children:
Recognizing the transition in routine will likely trigger anxiety. Be prepared for meltdowns and negative behavior.
Start talking with your child about going back to school a few weeks ahead of time to help them with the mental preparation.
Invite your child to reminisce about positive things that happened the previous school year. Ask them about friends or old teachers they are excited to see again. You can even show them photos from the year before, artwork they created and tests they scored well on.
Write "First Day of School" on their calendar as a visual aid for them.
Discuss and create a morning routine chart with picture visuals. Invite your child to help you in creating this because it will give them a sense of ownership in the process.
Schedule a meeting or phone call with the new teacher(s). Discuss things they should watch for that might indicate the student is having an off day. If there is an IEP already in place, discuss the particulars of the plan with the teacher and other school administrators. Bring your child along to meet the new teacher and see their new classroom so the first day isn't such a shock.
Start back-to-school-night bedtime a few weeks ahead of time.
Go over the rules of acceptable school behavior. Make sure your child is aware of what to do if they become the victim of bullying.
Take a back-to-school shopping trip for supplies and let them pick the items so they are excited about using them.
Be encouraging. Tell them how proud you are of them and what a great student they are. Let them know how much you love going to their school events and seeing the great thing they learn.
10 Tips for Teachers of Autistic Students:
Be very specific when assigning tasks. If necessary, repeat instructions to ensure correct understanding.
Keep your language simple and to the point.
Give fewer choices to avoid confusion and avoid the student feeling overwhelmed.
If you are met with a blank stare, try to reword your statement in another way.
Be literal and avoid idioms. Sarcasm isn't understood by autistic children. If you say, "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," the child will likely envision you actually eating a horse.
Provide a clear structure of daily routine. In the event of a disruption in that routine, such as an assembly or an early dismissal, give as much advanced warning as possible.
Visuals are better than wordy instructions.
Recognize that a negative change in behavior likely represents anxiety over a task. If possible, give them a short break to calm their fears and try again.
Avoid overstimulation and remove distractions. Children with autism are highly sensitive and what sounds like minimal background noise to you can sound like a freight train to them.
Help prevent the student from being teased or bullied by educating and raising awareness in peers.
These suggestions were prepared by the Juniata County Autism Support Group. For more information about our group, visit www.juniatacoautismsupportgroup.webs.com or our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/JuniataCountyAutismSupportGroup. Our next event will be a reading day for autistic children and their families at 11 a.m. on Sept. 21 at the Juniata County Library.
