Sunny von Bulow Dies
Martha "Sunny" von Bulow died this weekend at a nursing home in New York City, nearly 28 years after being found unconscious at her Rhode Island estate (and subsequently falling into an irreversible coma) in December 1980. Her husband Claus, who obviously became a controversial figure, was found guilty of her attempted murder (the alleged method being an overdose of insulin), but his conviction was overturned on appeal and he received a second trial in which he was acquitted. The sensational case, which featured testimony from many notables including Truman Capote, attracted worldwide publicity and rocked high society. It spawned numerous books, television shows and a 1990 movie.

Rep. Ron Paul's leadership will be greatly missedJanuary 4th, 2013, 12:25 am by Betty Talbert, letters editor
SANTA ANA, Timothy C. Mason: While most Americans are following and being mislead about the fiscal cliff, we are losing 12-term Rep. Ron Paul to retirement. A great loss to all Americans who understand what the "role of government" is under constitutional law. Paul has always honored the oath of office to uphold the Constitution while serving in Congress (sadly while most other members serve political parties or special interests).
In the early 1960s Paul earned a medical degree and served as a flight surgeon in the Air Force for five years. After military service Paul opened a medical practice and delivered more than 4,000 babies. Because of Paul's consistency of upholding the Constitution and refusing to "go along" with the bipartisan members and "compromising" our Constitution to pass "illegal" laws and spending bills. He is known as "Dr. No" on the House floor.
We need a lot more like him.
A quote from Paul sums up a "major" problem we face in America today. "Truth is treason in the empire of lies."Read the rest of this entry »

Rows of shops selling beach buckets and flip-flops line the seafront of Benidorm, the Costa Blanca's largest and liveliest holiday resort town, where hordes of tourists throng the streets 24 hours a day. Of the thousands who come to holiday here on the town's three miles (5km) of white sandy beaches each year, many have stayed and purchased apartments in the numerous blocks that now dot the skyline. Benidorm, north of Alicante, is the party capital of the Costa Blanca with an unrivalled nightlife and a daytime carnival-like beach culture.
Remnants of Benidorm's historic past are now well hidden, but tucked into the Casco Antiguo section are the ruins of a castle built in the 14th century to fend off Berber pirates. Benidorm's spectacular sunsets are best viewed from the castle's 'mirador' (balcony). The place to see and be seen in the town however is the Playa de Levante, a two-mile (3km) boardwalk lined with trendy cafés and bars
Resort Rating
Benidorm's major holiday attractions are its spectacular beaches. The two huge sweeping crescents stretch for over three miles (5km) and are known as Levante and Poniente - Spanish for sunrise and sunset. They are kept meticulously clean and are consistently voted among the cleanest and most popular beaches in Europe. All sorts of watersports can be organised from the beaches from swimming and diving off the man-made rafts to jet skiing, banana boat rides, parasailing and scuba diving. On the outskirts of town tourists can visit the water parks or Terra Mitica, Spain's largest theme park with a terrifying roller coaster. There are also loads of options for those wishing to escape Benidorm for a day; beautiful mountainous countryside surrounds the holiday resort and jeep safaris and cycle trips around this rugged interior are becoming increasingly popular. Alicante, 25 miles (40km) south of Benidorm, is the Costa Blanca's main city and has a number of interesting sights. Other good days out include a coach trip to the ancient mountain fortress at Guadalest, built by the Moors in 715, and the town of Altea with its delightful medieval cobbled streets and beautiful Mediterranean views, eight miles (13km) north of Benidorm.
Top-rated restaurants in Benidorm include Paneil's, China Garden, India Gate, Mme Butterfly, The Vagabond and Witches Bistro. All the major fast food restaurants are also available and the old harbour is the best place to try out the local cuisine.
Benidorm is one of the biggest nightspots on the Med with something to suit all preferences. There are loads of bars hosting live shows, quizzes, bingo, karaoke and drag shows& and lots of live bands playing everything from Abba to ZZ Top. Those looking for a party in Benidorm should go to Wheeltappers, Sinatras, the Palladium or the Stardust Benidorm.
The streets of Benidorm are lined with gift shops catering for people on holiday and the supermarkets are fully stocked with well-known brands. Prices in the holiday resort are cheap, particularly alcohol and cigarettes. There is an open-air market every Wednesday and a rastro(car boot sale) every Sunday next to the railway station. The town of Altea is worth a visit on Tuesdays for its outdoor market or simply for a leisurely stroll along the promenade, while Alicante is a good destination for shoppers in search of some more sophisticated shops.
Benidorm is not a good choice for those wanting an authentic Spanish holiday; it's a bit like Blackpool in the sun, but for those looking for entertainment and nightlife it can't be beaten. The resort abounds with hundreds of persistent touts trying to sell tourists everything from trinkets to timeshare apartments. There are also insistent promotions staff outside the bars and restaurants, but can be worth chatting up as they sometimes offer free drinks. However, as with any party destination there have been reports of drinks being spiked, visitors out on the town should be wary of leaving their drinks unattended or accepting drinks from strangers. Benidorm caters for all ages; older visitors may think there are too many youngsters while others think there are too many OAPs!

Very nice
Posted by Reviewer3345745 on May 26, 2008
Been using it daily, absorbs well and no scent.
No chemical stuff feeling
Posted by Reviewer3319467 on Jan 25, 2009
As you may know many sun care product has a specific chemical smell, film like texture. But it has no such a problems. Maybe the SPF is not enough for strong sun cut, but it is still OK to every day use especially winter or fall.
Great Veg Moisturizer!
Posted by Reviewer3278369 on Mar 24, 2009
This moisturizer is great; lightweight, non-greasy, has SPF-15 which is great....awesome product....my only 'gripe' is that it's a bit sting-y if you apply it too close to your eyes....but then again, I'd rather it sting my eyes temporarily than not sting at all and be tested on animals:) Also, they should make some in higher SPF's as well (even if it ups the sting-factor a bit).
Light moisturizer
Posted by Reviewer1068518 on Mar 29, 2009
I like this moisturizer because it is non-greasy and doesn't cause break outs.
Affordable everyday face care
Posted by Reviewer1054693 on May 26, 2009

I use this all over my body as I have very sensitive skin. It is so light nd hydrates my skin very nicely.
Loooove this facial lotion!
Posted by Reviewer2384579 on Apr 21, 2010
I started using this lotion because while pregnant with my son I could not stand the smell of any lotion. This lotion really is unscented, it absorbs beautifully into my skin without making it oily, it lasts for months because a little goes a long way and the SPF 15 and organic ingredients are the icing on the cake. I hve been using this daily for 3 years now and cannot say enough good things about it. I love it and will continue using it for as long as it's being sold!

I like the way this lotion feels on my skin and it really protects against the sun. I can tell the difference within just a week. Highly recommend it.
Works perfectly

This cream moistens the skin but is not greasy. It does not show at all. The combination of aloe, rose hips, and shea butter seems to be the best combination according to what I have read. The bottle is easy to use too.

Lars von Trier would probably be the first to tell you that beneath the well-mannered, cultured façade of Denmark, or anywhere for that matter, lurks the barbarity of the Dark Ages. It can be seen in the sodden, tribal bonding rites of a bunch of hunting buddies in "The Hunt," fellow Dane and Dogme 95 cofounder Thomas Vinterberg's harrowing but flawed study of an innocent man accused of pedophilia. The bearded, drunken men of a hunting party, bellowing and skinny-dipping, enact a bibulous macho ritual. It's a scene that could have happened 1,000 years ago, or might be an outtake from "Grown Ups 2."
Like his 1998 Dogme 95 melodrama, "The Celebration," Vinterberg focuses his new film on the pathology that underlies respectability.

Lone Oak Baptist Church Christmas Program "Christmas in Snowflake County"
Posted By Mark Haynes On Tuesday, December 25, 2012 @ 11:21 pm In Arts and Leisure | No Comments
Cunningham, TN – The Lone Oak Baptist Church held their Christmas Program "Christmas in Snowflake County" at the Montgomery Central High School auditrium.
The theme of the program was "Hope in a Humble Stable".
The seats were filled with church members and family waiting to watch their friends and children on stage. They were not disappointed as the kids did a wonderful job with the show. 47 children took part in the program.
The show is about a place that celebrates Christmas with an extravaganza each year. But this year, everyone is so worked up over their annual event, that it over shadows the real meaning of Christmas.
In the end, everyone realizes that the season is about Jesus' birth and not decorations and lights. The children did a wonderful job with the program. You could tell they were having fun putting it on.
"The kids did a really great job tonight," stated church program manager Beth Britt. "I am really proud of them."
Brit went on to say, "The children worked really hard getting ready for this. This was a big thing for them. They were all really nervous before the show started but seem to relax once the show started."
Lone Oak Baptist Church is located at 4445 Louise Road, Cumberland Furnace, Tennessee. For more information, visit their website at www.loneoakbaptist.com [2] .

Great breakfast. I love every ingredient and they went together very well. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper, KateL. Made for Photo Tag.
I didn't have mushrooms but this still tasted very good. Thanks.
Scrumptious breakfast. We loved the flavor combinations. Nothing was too overpowering, even though I halved the recipe, but used a whole serrano pepper. I'll be making this for breakfast regularly. Thanks for posting!

Nexus 7: does charging while using slimport damage the battery?
from what i have gathered, it is better not to use the tablet while it is charging.
so if i use a slimport to connect it a tv, it also needs to be connected to the power outlet. does that also charge the tablet at the same time?

Re: does charging while using slimport damage the battery?
I would say if the power draw from the slimport is more than what the charger is giving back to the Nexus, then, in my opinion, it wouldn't be all that great for the battery, If the the Nexus charger can get it to a full charge while running the slimport, then I think that's probably healthier for the battery. I've only ran my slimport with an external battery charger and while i'm streaming a movie from my seagate wireless plus to the nexus 7 connected by the slimport to the TV, the battery percentage actually goes down, albeit slowly even with the external charger, so I guess its not providing enough power to overcome the demands of what i'm doing on the Nexus. This can't be good for the battery. I've yet to try it when its connected to a wall socket, rather than with the external battery charger, to see if it can still charge the nexus fully even though its running the slimport as well as streaming from the seagate wireless hard drive.
Again, take this all with a grain of salt. I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing no damage or some damage to the battery in the long run, but so far, I'm not seeing any signs that the battery is taking a hit from the wear and tear.

Re: does charging while using slimport damage the battery?
according to "battery university", it is better to shut down the tablet when it is charging.
and from what i have read, if you use it while it is charging, you will "confuse" the battery, it won't last long.

Re: does charging while using slimport damage the battery?
someone answered my question on amazon, "I haven't used this with a tablet, but my experience with smart phones is that not enough power is provided when plugged in to this device to both charge the smart phone battery AND display HDMI video/sound. I believe the current on the device is too low to do both. If using HDMI on a smart phone long enough, the battery will run down."
i thought that this is a good device to use, but it seems that it is bad for the battery. but on the other hand, how much of damage will it do to the tablet itself?

Re: Nexus 7: does charging while using slimport damage the battery?
Not at all hogwash.
The line 'I've been doing this for years' explains why. Modern lithium batteries shouldn't be in a switched on device while charging, older batteries... not so important.
This is why a number of modern tablets actually refuse to charge while turned on.

Starting on July 1, we will discuss "The Suffocation Model: Why Marriage in America is Becoming an All or Nothing Institution" by Finkel et al. This appeared last summer in Directions in Psychological Science. The discussion will be less intense than a full blown book forum, but we will dedicate one or two posts to it. This article was suggested by Chris Martin.

happiness paradox
My colleague Johan Bollen and his colleagues have been working on a project that tries to measure and verify the "happiness paradox," which is an extension and elaboration of the "friendship paradox." From the MIT technology review:
The friendship paradox is straightforward to explain. It comes about because of the skewed way people collect friends on online social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. Most people have a small number of friends—a few dozen or so. But a tiny fraction of people have huge numbers of friends millions or tens of millions of followers in some cases.
This has two effects. First, it makes them much more likely to appear in a random person's list of friends. And second, it dramatically skews the answer when calculating the average number of friends that a person's friends have.
Bollen et al then explain the analogous happiness paradox:
Bollen and co begin by analyzing the most recent 3,000 tweets sent by some 40,000 Twitter users. They use a standard algorithm to analyze each tweet to determine its sentiment—whether positive or negative—and then assume this gives a sense of the user's happiness level. In other words, they assume that people who are less happy send more negative tweets. They also include in the analysis the number of followers and followees for each individual.
The results make for interesting reading. Bollen and co say there is clear friendship paradox at work in this network, as expected. But they also say there is a less striking but nonetheless significant happiness paradox at work, too.
Indeed, Bollen co say their evidence suggests that the more unhappy the individual, the stronger the happiness paradox they face. "Although happy and unhappy groups of subjects are both affected by a significant happiness paradox, unhappy subjects are most strongly affected," they say.
The original paper is here. Recommended.

let the children play! it's good for their mental health
Psychology Today has an article on a new analysis of play and the mental health of young people. The gist is that (a) recently, we let kids have less unstructured play and (b) unstructured play increases the belief that one has direct control over their life, which in turn has positive effect on mental health and various measures of well being. From the article:
The standard measure of sense of control is a questionnaire developed by Julien Rotter in the late 1950s called the Internal-External Locus of Control Scale. The questionnaire consists of 23 pairs of statements. One statement in each pair represents belief in an Internal locus of control (control by the person) and the other represents belief in an External locus of control (control by circumstances outside of the person). The person taking the test must decide which statement in each pair is more true. One pair, for example, is the following:
- (a) I have found that what is going to happen will happen.
- (b) Trusting to fate has never turned out as well for me as making a decision to take a definite course of action.
In this case, choice (a) represents an External locus of control and (b) represents an Internal locus of control.
Many studies over the years have shown that people who score toward the Internal end of Rotter's scale fare better in life than do those who score toward the External end.[2] They are more likely to get good jobs that they enjoy, take care of their health, and play active roles in their communities—and they are less likely to become anxious or depressed.
In a research study published a few years ago, Twenge and her colleagues analyzed the results of many previous studies that used Rotter's Scale with young people from 1960 through 2002.[3] They found that over this period average scores shifted dramatically—for children aged 9 to 14 as well as for college students—away from the Internal toward the External end of the scale. In fact, the shift was so great that the average young person in 2002 was more External than were 80% of young people in the 1960s. The rise in Externality on Rotter's scale over the 42-year period showed the same linear trend as did the rise in depression and anxiety.
[Correction: The locus of control data used by Twenge and her colleagues for children age 9 to 14 came from the Nowicki-Strickland Scale, developed by Bonnie Strickland and Steve Nowicki, not from the Rotter Scale. Their scale is similar to Rotter's, but modified for use with children.]
It is reasonable to suggest that the rise of Externality (and decline of Internality) is causally related to the rise in anxiety and depression. When people believe that they have little or no control over their fate they become anxious: "Something terrible can happen to me at any time and I will be unable to do anything about it." When the anxiety and sense of helplessness become too great people become depressed: "There is no use trying; I'm doomed."
Wow. Later in the article, they talk about how this shift correlates with mental health outcomes. So don't schedule them or boss the, let them play.

how to live a good life, the social science answer
This week, I will spend quite a bit of time discussing a book called The Triumphs of Experience by George Vaillant. I've written briefly about the book before, but I didn't appreciate the magnitude of the book until I assigned it for a class. Roughly speaking, the book follows a cohort of college men from the 1940s to the mid 2000s. Thus, the book tracks people from young adulthood to old age. It's a powerful book in that it uses enormously rich data to analyze the life course and identify factors that contribute to our well being. You won't find many other books that have such deep data to address one of life's most important questions – What makes us happy? What is the good life?
In this first post, I want to briefly summarize the book and then note a few drawbacks. Later this week, I want to delve into two topics in more detail: alcoholism and parental bonds. To start: the Grant Study of Human development randomly selected a few hundred male Harvard undergrads for a long term study on health and the life course. It's a biased sample, but it's well suited for studying long life and work (remember, many women became home makers in that era) while controlling for educational attainment. The strength of this book is an ability to mine rich qualitative data on the life course and then mapping the associations over decades. The data is rich enough that the authors can actually consider alternative hypotheses and build multi-cause explanations.
A few drawbacks: Rhetorically, I thought the book was a bit wordier and longer than it needed to be. Also, I wish that the book had a glossary or appendix where one can look up definitions. More importantly, this book will note be convincing to folks who are obsessed with identification. It is very "1960s" in that they collect a lot of data and then channel their energies into looking at cross-group differences. But still, considering that doing RCT with your family is not possible and the importance of the data, I'm willing to forgive. Wednesday: The importance of your family.

is there discrimination against conservatives in academia? comment on duarte et al. 2014
There's been a paper making round and a few folks have asked me for comments. It is called "Political Diversity will Improve Social Psychological Science." It is forthcoming in Behavioral and Brain Sciences and is co-authored by Jose Duarte, Jarett Crawford, Jonathan Haidt, Lee Jussim and Phil Tetlock. Duarte et al. make the following claims:
- Social psychology, like most academic areas, is politically homogeneous.
- Intellectual diversity is a good thing.
"The underrepresentation of non-liberals in social psychology is most likely due to a combination of self-selection, hostile climate, and discrimination."
My overall reaction is sympathetic, but critical. In my comments, I will start with evidence that is specific to social psychology, but also comment on the broader issue of professorial partisanship.
The lopsided political slant of academia is to be lamented. Since social scientists study human values and ethical behavior, we definitely lose something if only one side of the argument is represented. I also think that when sociologists move from disagreement to hostility, they do a disservice. All students should feel like it is permissible to disagree with an instructor and no one wants to be judged on their political views when it comes to graduate school admissions and appointment to the faculty.
On other points, I am more critical. For example, their coverage of the debate over discrimination is lacking. It is true that that many academics exhibit confirmation bias – they are more likely to approve of studies that support their ideological view. That is a logically consistent story for why, say, sociologists might be overwhelmingly liberal because we deal with lots of research that have social implications. But it doesn't really explain other facts, like that a majority of physical scientists vote Democrat (see page 29 of the Gross and Simmons' book on professors*). How would people possibly know the party preference of mathematicians? It's not on the CV and in the eight years I spent in math departments, I still have no idea what the preferences of my fellow students and teachers were.
Another point of criticism is that they take uncritically the evidence on self-reports of willingness to discriminate. They cover a number of studies showing that liberals admit they would discriminate, while others do not. They see this as strong evidence. I do not because of social desirability bias. The default response is for people to admit they do not discriminate. My hypothesis that overly zealous academic liberals are simply more motivated to admit personal fault, which means they deviate from the socially desirable answer at much, much higher rates.
One point that is never brought up is that liberal disciplines become noticeably more conservative if they try hard enough. For example, it is my impression that economics used to be dominated by Keynesians up until about 1960 or so. Now, there are many notable conservative and libertarian economists who are very prominent. Similarly, there are disciplines which have an even Republican/Democrat balance, such as engineering (see page 29 of Gross and Simmons). Those who think discrimination is the smoking gun in this story need to explain why economics has become more conservative over time, how discrimination is supposed to work in a-political fields like math, and why liberals never conquered other areas. Most of the story about liberal over-representation is about humanities and social sciences which, do indeed, have lopsided tendencies.
Perhaps the point that I always think about is one that Duarte et al. and others always seem to miss. A major finding of Gross's 2013 book on academic liberals is that there is indeed a self-image problems. And yes, much of it has to do with the fact that conservative students don't think they will "fit in" with liberal professors. But there is another very strong reason which Gross covers – money. Academia is a low paying profession and conservative students value income in jobs more than other types of students.
This finding dovetails well with an observation about professions. Liberals tend to dominate in areas that are low paying and focus on issues like education, learning, care giving, and culture. These include the arts, entertainment, academia, K-12 teaching, nursing, social work, and science. Once you add some high income, conservatives start appearing in large numbers (e.g., the Dem/GOP is way different for doctors vs. nurses; artists vs. art managers; lawyering vs. other humanities oriented work; physical science vs. engineering).
That summarizes my response to Duarte et al. 2012. The basic point is correct – social psychology, and other areas, by implication, are politically lopsided and it's likely not a good thing. On other points, I think they over read the evidence. I am certain that discrimination might occur, but when you look at a broad range of evidence, the story gets complicated very quickly.

letters of recommendation: still garbage
Long time readers know that I am a skeptic when it comes to letters of recommendation. The last time I wrote about the topic, I relied on a well cited 1993 article by Aamodt, Bryan amd Whitcomb in Public Personnel Management that reviews the literature and shows that LoR's have very little validity. I.e., they are poor predictors of future job performance. But what if the literature has changed in the meanwhile? Maybe these earlier studies were flawed, or based on limited samples, or better research methods provide more compelling answers. So I went back and read some more recent research on the validity of LoRs. The answer? With a few exceptions, still garbage.
For example, the journal Academic Medicine published a 2014 article that analyzed LoR for three cohorts of students at a medical school. From the abstract:
Results: Four hundred thirty-seven LORs were included. Of 76 LOR characteristics, 7 were associated with graduation status (P ≤ .05), and 3 remained significant in the regression model. Being rated as "the best" among peers and having an employer or supervisor as the LOR author were associated with induction into AOA, whereas having nonpositive comments was associated with bottom of the class students.
Conclusions: LORs have limited value to admission committees, as very few LOR characteristics predict how students perform during medical school.
Translation: Almost all information in letters is useless, except the occasional negative comment (which academics strive not to say). The other exception is explicit comparison with other candidates, which is not a standard feature of many (or most?) letters in academia.
Ok, maybe this finding is limited to med students. What about other contexts? Once again, LoRs do poorly unless you torture specific data out of them. From a 2014 meta-analysis of LoR recommendation research in education from the International Journal of Selection and Assessment:
… Second, letters of recommendation are not very reliable. Research suggests that the interrater reliability of letters of recommendation is only about .40 (Baxter, et al., 1981; Mosel & Goheen, 1952, 1959; Rim, 1976). Aamodt, Bryan & Whitcomb (1993) summarized this issue pointedly when they noted, 'The reliability problem is so severe that Baxter et al. (1981) found that there is more agreement between two recommendations written by the same person for two different applicants than there is between two people writing recommendations for the same person' (Aamodt et al., 1993, p. 82). Third, letter readers tend to favor letters written by people they know (Nicklin & Roch, 2009), despite any evidence that this leads to superior judgments.
Despite this troubling evidence, the letter of recommendation is not only frequently used; it is consistently evaluated as being nearly as important as test scores and prior grades (Bonifazi, Crespy, & Reiker, 1997; Hines, 1986). There is a clear and gross imbalance between the importance placed on letters and the research that has actually documented their efficacy. The scope of this problem is considerable when we consider that there is a very large literature, including a number of reviews and meta-analyses on standardized tests and no such research on letters. Put another way, if letters were a new psychological test they would not come close to meeting minimum professional criteria (i.e., Standards) for use in decision making (AERA, APA, & NCME, 1999). This study is a step toward addressing this need by evaluating what is known, identifying key gaps, and providing recommendations for use and research. [Note: bolded by me.]
As with other studies, there is a small amount of information in LoRs. The authors note that "… letters do appear to provide incremental information about degree attainment, a difficult and heavily motivationally determined outcome." That's something, I guess, for a tool that would fail standard tests of validity.

With New Poll, Ohio Group Continues Push For 2014 Marriage Equality Amendment
"[W]here voters have the amendment language and the 'right to refuse' language," regarding the right of religious entities not to marry same-sex couples, "support for the amendment grows to 56%, while opposition drops to 34%," two pollsters write. A fight over when to go to the voters in Ohio continues.
WASHINGTON — Only about one-third of Ohioans would oppose an amendment allowing same-sex couples to marry in the state if informed about what the amendment means, polling conducted for a group pushing for marriage equality in the Buckeye State shows.
Freedom to Marry Ohio — not affiliated with the national group, Freedom to Marry — is unveiling the polling showing a majority of voters support a marriage equality amendment at a news conference Thursday aimed at buttressing support for its effort to reverse the state's 2004 ban on marriage equality next year.
National groups, including Freedom to Marry and the Human Rights Campaign, as well as the statewide organization, Equality Ohio, have launched a more modest education campaign — Why Marriage Matters Ohio — that is looking toward going to voters in 2016 or later.
Less than 10 years ago, Ohio voters overwhelmingly amended their constitution to ban same-sex couples from marrying or obtaining similar protections, as in civil unions.
Ian James, through his organization, Freedom to Marry Ohio, is releasing polling today that shows the 62-38 passage of the amendment banning same-sex couples from marrying has nearly reversed in the past nine years.
The survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling of 1,011 Ohio voters from Dec. 6-8, 2013, concluded that 52% of voters would vote in favor of an amendment that "would allow two consenting adults to be married, so long as they are not nearer of kin than second cousins, are not currently married to someone, and no religious institutions will be required to perform or recognize a marriage." Thirty-eight percent would oppose the amendment, and nine percent were undecided.
Of the 38% who would vote against the amendment, however, PPP asked a follow-up question: "This constitutional amendment protects religious liberties by allowing any house of worship, such as a church or synagogue, to refuse to marry a same-sex couple. Knowing this, if the election were held today, would you vote in favor of this amendment to the Ohio Constitution to allow same-sex couples to marry, or would you vote against it?"
More than 10% of those initially against the amendment said that information would change their vote to supporting the amendment, which brought the total support up to 56%. Five percent of those initially against the amendment moved into the undecided camp, bringing the total undecided to 10%. Eighty-four percent of those opposed did not change their position with that information, bringing the total opposition down to 34%.
"In this latter scenario where voters have the amendment language and the 'right to refuse' language, support for the amendment grows to 56%, while opposition drops to 34%. The amendment language and 'Right to Refuse' moves voters across all demographic groups to support, and demonstrates the importance of specificity in amendment language versus concept," Jim Kitchens and Bob Carpenter, pollsters who conducted a "peer review" of the PPP poll, wrote in a memorandum to James.

Starting out
I started this journey from home at 10:15 am, being picked up by the Act II shuttle. After picking up another traveler, we headed for O'Hare airport, arriving about 2:30 pm. That trip and check-in were uneventful. Since my flight wasn't scheduled to leave until 6:20, I walked the concourses for a while, had a snack, then ...
Headed for Iowa!
Headed for the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch, Iowa. Passing lots and LOTS of corn fields. Reminds me of traveling in Iowa while working on research projects for Altarum Institute - but now I can just enjoy the scenery.
Last night we stayed at the Illiniwek Forest Preserve Campground in Hampton, Illinois. Very cool campground on the Mississippi River. I've posted a picture on this blog of the campground.
Mississippi Sighting
... the years.
We've turned back across the Mississippi to Hampton, Illinois to spend the night at a delightful county-supported recreational facility. With our senior discount, we paid $16 for the pleasure of watching the river flow by our front door. The 'water is wide, I cannot cross over'...but we will take a bridge over the muddy waters tomorrow for our first stop at the Herbert Hoover presidential library.
A Day With No Driving!
... much like the Science Center in Toronto. There were tons of hands on activities and experiments and ************e else there. We picked up a family pass that gives us entry into 290 other centers across the States so we are set for the rest of the trip. We watched an Imax movie called the Last Reef then picked up some groceries and had a nice homemade dinner on the Mississippi!
Got up this morning ready for our next leg of the journey. We should end up somewhere near ...
Working Out the Bugs!
... park, picked out a site and paid for it, we were putting up the tent trailer with flashlights in hand. The park was wonderful, treed, grassy sites, near the water and day use area had an amazing beach. We had no campers around us. We had a nice late dinner, shared a drink and went to bed listening to crickets and a hooting owl.....what a nice way to start our trip!
Started the day with a walk around the park, one of us sporting ...

2013 Instructional League: FAQ
The Indians 2013 Fall Instructional League kicks off on Thursday out at their spring training and player development complex in Goodyear, Arizona. Camp runs for a little over four weeks and time will be split between on-field workouts, intra-squad games, and games between other local Major League organizations before concluding on Monday October 14th.
For those new to the prospect game or that are curious as to what Instructional League really is, here are a few basic things you need to know:
- Commonly referred to as "Instructs", the camp is basically broken up into two camps, one for the Fall Instructional Program (FIP) and the other just a Strength and Conditioning Program (SCP).
- Deciding on who to send can vary, but it mostly involves new professional players as recent draft picks from the June draft make up a large percentage of the roster. The roster also includes a lot of draft picks from the prior year's draft as well as any recent foreign free agent signings that the organization plans to play stateside the next season or want to get an extended look at.
- The makeup of players involves the new elite level players who need to focus on a few specific areas to help finish them off, or the fringe prospects that the organization may experiment with in another role or get a lot of extra work with to maybe push them into the upper tier of prospects.
- There used to be a Fall Instructional Program and Fall Development Program (FDP), and in some ways this is still the case, but with many elite level first year prospects in Arizona for Instructs the two have for the most part been combined into one. Also, there used to be a Parallel League - or otherwise known as advanced Instructional League - but that was not brought back this year.
- The more advanced prospects who would have been in the FDP in the past will still only be there for about two weeks, but now are just participating to get ready for the Arizona Fall League.
- Those participating in strength and conditioning are not participating in games and are only there to really hone in on improving their physical makeup. While it is only two to four weeks, it is a program that helps provide a springboard for players to continue to work out throughout the rest of the offseason and come into spring training next year in top shape.
- The rosters can actually be very fluid in Instructs, but the only thing that is important is who is playing (FIP) and who is not (strength and conditioning).
- The purpose of Instructs is mostly to help the newly signed draft picks in their transition into professional baseball by giving them an early introduction into the daily routines of pro ball, what spring training will be like, and to begin to learn how to prepare for the day-to-day grind of a 140-game season. They also begin to learn about off-field things like nutrition, weight training, proper conditioning, and so on.
- In addition to all of this, Instructs provide an opportunity for very specific one-on-one instruction for many players to improve certain areas of their game that maybe were not available during the season. With the entire player development staff on hand as well as several other coaches, it is about a 3:1 player to coach ratio.
- What is worked on can vary, but mainly for pitchers it can be the addition of a new pitch, a change in their delivery, or a change in their role. For a position player it can be a permanent position change (or experimental) or some adjustments made to their swing mechanics.
- In some cases, Instructs serves as an opportunity for pitchers to throw some more innings or hitters to get more at bats because they need to make up for some valuable lost development time because they maybe missed a significant amount of games during the season due to injury.
- There is no media coverage or any media personnel present during Instructional League, so daily information is limited. You can't go to MiLB.com to view box scores or stats. That said, as always I should be able to provide daily summaries from each game that is played, so if you want any game info from Instructs this is the only place you will find it. I will also be out in Arizona the last week of Instructs and will provide some firsthand reports on the happenings in Instructs as well as the Arizona Fall League.
- The complete Instructional League roster and schedule was posted a few weeks ago. The first game is September 20th.

text: Here are some brief notes on using RHCS to cluster an NIS (ypserv) master. These are intended mainly as search-engine fodder, in case anyone is looking for info on the same process in the future. NIS was written long, long before HA clustering. The NIS utilities make assumptions about hostnames that conflict badly with RHCS. In particular, the use of a virtual IP (for example, vdirectory) to separate the NIS server from a single physical machine breaks because the name returned by gethostbyname (for example, "server1" or "server2") differs from the virtual server. There's no way to instruct the NIS processes (yperv, yppush, etc.) to communicate over specified interfaces. This difference between the VIP name that should be associated with the NIS service and the name of the physical server comes up in several places: [1] When running "ypinit -m" to initialize the NIS master, the hostname of the master server is queried by the yphelper program within /var/yp/Makefile and that value is encoded into the DBM map files. This means that, for example, "server1" would be encoded in the NIS maps. If the NIS (ypserv) process fails over to the other cluster node ("server2"), then NIS clients will refuse to accept updates, since they appear to come from the machine "server2", even if the VIP for the directory service ("vdirectory") also fails over to server2. This can be circumvented by editing the /var/yp/Makefile to avoid using yphelper, but to instead specify the name of the virtual server ("vdirectory"), as in changing from: DBLOAD = $(YPBINDIR)/makedbm -c -m `$(YPBINDIR)/yphelper --hostname` to: DBLOAD = $(YPBINDIR)/makedbm -c -m vdirectory.fqdn [2] The yppush program compares the value of gethostbyname on the server to the name of the master server encoded in the DBM files. Since they will not be equal, maps will not be pushed to clients. The /var/yp/Makefile can be set not to push maps to clients (which is actually the default), and NIS clients can poll the server to retrieve maps. In our case, I created a "ypxfr-all" script to enumerate and transfer maps using ypxfr, and modified /var/yp/Makefile to connect to each NIS slave and trigger the slave to request maps from the master. I hope this helps someone. Mark
