Today in the News: NJ Supreme Court OKs gay marriage
News to know
The New Jersey Supreme Court today said same-sex marriages will be allowed, turning down Gov. Chris Christie's request that they be halted. The court was unanimous in its decision, meaning any challenge to the new law would likely fail. Same-sex marriages can begin Monday.
Quote of note
"Obviously, we're very concerned and upset that somebody would come and destroy this natural wonder that took millions of years to be formed." - Jeff Rasmussen, deputy director of Utah State Parks and Recreation, talking to a local TV channel after a natural wonder was destroyed at Goblin Valley State Park. The man toppled a rock and captured it on video, saying he was doing it out of fears for public safety.

Missouri lottery winners want to live normally
DEARBORN, Mo. (AP) — To announce one of the biggest events of their lives together, Cindy and Mark Hill returned to the place where it all began — the high school where they became sweethearts in the 1970s.
Surrounded by family and friends, the two were introduced Friday as winners in this week's huge Powerball lottery — an extraordinary stroke of luck that gives them half of the $588 million jackpot.
The nostalgic high school homecoming seemed to reflect the couple's hopes of staying true to their roots and living simply, at least as simply as possible for winners of one of the biggest lottery prizes in history.
"We will still be going down to the corner cafe for breakfast or fish day. I can guarantee you," Cindy Hill said. "You know it's just us. We're just normal human beings. We're as common as anybody. We just have a little bit more money."
The Hills, who have three grown sons and a 6-year-old daughter, said they don't play the lottery regularly. They spent $10 on five tickets with random numbers. The result: After taxes, they will take home a lump sum of $136.5 million.
"We're still stunned by what's happened," said Hill, a former office manager who was laid off in 2010. "It's surreal."
The other winning ticket was sold in Fountain Hills, Ariz., near Phoenix. No one has come forward with it yet, lottery officials said.
Joining the Hills at the news conference were their children, with the youngest, Jaiden, sitting on her father's lap clutching a black stuffed horse. She was adopted from China five years ago.
When asked what she wanted for Christmas, the little girl said simply: "Pony."
Friday's news conference made official what just about everyone in the town of 500 north of Kansas City already knew, thanks in part to a Facebook posting by Mark Hill, said their son Cody.
At first, the elder Hill told his son about the winning ticket but instructed him not to share the news with anyone. Cody Hill said he went to work and heard people commenting about how one of the winning tickets came from a local store.
He said nothing. But then a relative told him to look at his dad's Facebook page, where his father had announced the family's good fortune.
Cindy Hill, sounding cautious and a little concerned about the windfall, said they have no immediate plans to move out of their single-story ranch house on a quiet cul-de-sac.
But they will have more free time. Mark Hill quit his job as a mechanic Thursday. His wife, who missed a scheduled job interview on the same day, has no plans to keep looking for work. Instead, she plans to focus on their daughter.
"Right now, she's our most important thing," Cindy Hill said. "And we want her to have normal things. It's Christmastime, and we want to be home. ... We want everything normal."
Mark Hill said the adjustment in the family income hadn't quite sunk in yet. He had to buy some small things Thursday when the family was in Jefferson City waiting for the Missouri Lottery to validate their ticket.
"We had to get like toothpaste and stuff like that, and I found myself at the store still looking at the price of stuff," he said.
Some of the money will go toward travel, perhaps back to China for another adoption or "wherever the wind takes us," Cindy Hill said. They also will help relatives, including establishing college funds for their grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Mark Hill has his eye on a red Camaro.
"When it's that big of a Powerball, you're going to get people coming out of the woodwork, some of them might not be too sane," Cindy Hill said. "We have to protect our family and grandkids."
She said the family will also be contributing to charities, including a scholarship fund in the local school district in her father-in-law's name. And they hope to continue advocating for adoption, which is "very big with us."
The jackpot was the second-largest in U.S. history and set off a nationwide buying frenzy. At one point, tickets were selling at nearly 130,000 a minute.
Before Wednesday's drawing, the jackpot had rolled over 16 consecutive times without anyone hitting the jackpot. In a Mega Millions drawing in March, three ticket buyers shared a $656 million jackpot, the largest lottery payout of all time.
Cindy Hill said whatever is ahead for them, the family plans to use the winnings wisely.
"We want to say too that God blessed us with this. And for some reason, he put it in our hands, I think, to make sure that it goes to the right things," she said. "But we were blessed before we ever won this."

Merry Christmas (plus long lost "The Jean Genie") December 24, 2011Posted by Richard Foote in Christmas.
I just want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very happy, safe and successful New Year.
As always, thank you all so much for supporting the blog, with all your comments and nice feedback. Hopefully, you've found content here that has been of some use. Now that I'm back at Oracle Corporation, 2012 should hopefully be an exciting year with lots to talk and blog about.
Here's my Christmas present …
Described as an early Christmas present for all David Bowie fans world-wide, footage of the great man performing his classic hit "The Jean Genie" on England's "Top of the Pops" has recently re-surfaced. Thought long-lost (as the BBC had a tendency to simply delete their tapes), this was originally recorded way back at the time Bowie was working on the "Aladdin Sane" album, on 3rd January 1973 and broadcast the next day on 4th January 1973. It basically hasn't been seen since until a cameraman on the show recently told the world he had a copy of the tapes in his shed !!
Now, nearly 40 years on, it's still a great song, a great band and a great performance.
Enjoy 🙂
- 1. Amit S. - December 24, 2011
Thanks Richard for clip.
Wish you a merry Christmas.
- 2. Anand - December 24, 2011
Wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🙂
- 3. peter chrisp - December 24, 2011
Could not agree more you took the words right out of my mouth, back in the old "glam daze" that to me was a classic in it's own time with the
late great Mick Ronson good to see this rare footage, we had 3 great
bands in a similar style including T.Rex & Sweet, & Bowie of course, a big thanks all the best 2 for Christmas & the New Year
- 5. Log Buffer #252, A Carnival of the Vanities for DBAs | The Pythian Blog - December 30, 2011
[…] Richard Foote, the Index Guy, just wants to wish all a very Merry Christmas and a very happy, safe and successful New Year. So nice of him. […]
- 6. Jenny - January 17, 2012
Wasn't this shown on the news not too long ago?
Was fantastic to see a lost clip of David Bowie on TV.
Was real enjoyable to listen to.
I'm way too late for the Christmas wishes, but all the best for 2012.

Earlier this month, Google announced some of the key specs for its Google Glass headset: 16GB of flash memory, a 5MP camera, a "high resolution display," 802.11g and Bluetooth, and a battery that lasts all day. What was missing was any information about Glass' processor and memory, which will in no small part affect the kinds of things that Glass can do.
Because Glass runs Android 4.0.4, with a little work it can be manipulated via the same Android development tools used on phones and tablets. Using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) tool, Glass developer Jay Lee has discovered two new things about the hardware: it runs a dual-core OMAP 4430 SoC from Texas Instruments running at an undetermined clock speed, and it includes 682MB of RAM. Lee speculates that the total amount is 1GB, of which 682MB is available to developers; this makes sense to us, since otherwise 682MB is a strange amount of memory to have.
These specifications put Google Glass roughly in line with a high-end phone from early 2011 or so—Samsung's Galaxy S II uses the same SoC and amount of RAM. Though by no means high-end, it's not surprising that Glass uses relatively old hardware, since it has much less space in which to cram high-end guts (and the battery these internals would require). As Lee notes, the things Google Glass is used to do are ultimately of more importance than what's inside it, but nevertheless we agree with him on one important point: "I'm a geek and it's still awesome to nerd out on the guts."

Local Red Cross dispatches volunteers to areas hit by tornados
ROCKFORD — Two volunteers from the Rock River Chapter of the American Red Cross have arrived in tornado ravaged areas of Illinois outside Peoria.
The trained volunteers brought an emergency response vehicle and supplies that will be used to assist emergency responders and residents recovering from devastating storms, said Brooke Mehaffey, regional communications director for the Red Cross.
"It's mainly used for mobile feeding and supply distributions," Mehaffey said. "The emergency response vehicle is a little bit bigger than an ambulance and the whole back has areas to prepare food and hand out food out the windows."
Powerful storms and dozens of tornados Sunday tore through parts of the Midwest, southern Illinois and outside Peoria, reportedly killing six people and injuring dozens more. The severe weather forced a two-hour delay at the Bears game in Chicago. Strong winds knocked over homes, uprooted trees and knocked down power lines.
In Washington, Ill., entire neighborhoods were flattened with the mayor estimating 250 to 500 homes had been destroyed, the Associated Press reports.
Volunteers from Rockford arrived last night.
Mehaffey said she is now seeking an update from them from the field. It is hoped the volunteers and the vehicle will help provide a needed respite as the region begins a daunting recovery.
She said more volunteers could be sent from the local Red Cross depending on need. Their focus is initially helping with mass care, shelter, food and disaster assessment.
Meanwhile, Melissa Lewis of Rockford has started a grass roots effort to collect supplies for those who need them in areas damaged by the tornadoes.
Lewis has set up an area in her basement at 1110 17th Avenue Apt. 4 to sort and stack the supplies. Anyone who wants to donate, can drop off items at her home. They are collecting bottles of water, blankets, pillows, toiletries, baby supplies, pet supplies, batteries, flashlights, socks and storage tubs. She is looking for volunteers to help drive the items down to the damaged areas.
Lewis said anyone who wants to get involved in her grassroots effort can join her for an organizational meeting at 2 p.m. Monday at her home or call her at 773-455-4333. Lewis established a Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/illinoisdisastevolunteers/.
Lewis said she is putting skills learned from her volunteer efforts with the Rockford Jaycees to send aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina to use with this disaster. She also volunteered to help when people's homes were flooded in the Churchill Park neighborhood in 2006 and 2007.
"I never have been through a tornado disaster but I did lose everything I owned in a (1993) fire and my heart goes out to people who lose their homes," Lewis said. "If we can give something or do something to help, that's what I want to do."
Three Rockford businesses put calls out on Facebook asking for donations that they will forward to the impacted areas of the state. RBI Bar, Onyx Bar and Grill and District Rockford started collecting items early Monday, including: can openers, plastic food containers, Ziploc bags, baby supplies, toiletries, pet food and supplies, bottled water, Gatorade, cleaning supplies, tarps, rakes, shovels, plastic totes with lids, handheld tools, blankets, generators, grills, matches, lighters and first aid kits.
For more information visit the Facebook pages for each business.
Mobility Connection, Inc., in Rockford put a call out for cases and gallons of bottled water. The business, at 4100 E. State St. in Rockford, will take the collection to Washington, Ill., as soon as the pickup truck is filled.

Helen Felumlee, of Nashport, Ohio, died at 92 on April 12. Her husband, 91-year-old Kenneth Felumlee, died the next morning.
The couple's eight children say the two had been inseparable since meeting as teenagers, once sharing the bottom of a bunk bed on a ferry rather than sleeping one night apart, the Zanesville Times Recorder reported.
They remained deeply in love until the very end, even eating breakfast together while holding hands, said their daughter, Linda Cody.
"We knew when one went, the other was going to go," she said.
Prayers at bedside
According to Cody, about 12 hours after Helen died, Kenneth looked at his children and said, "Mom's dead." He quickly began to fade and was surrounded by 24 of his closest family members and friends when he died the next morning.
"He was ready," Cody said. "He just didn't want to leave her here by herself."
Son Dick Felumlee said his parents died of old age, surrounded by family.
We knew when one went, the other was going to go.- Linda Cody, daughter
"At Dad's bed we were singing his favourite hymns, reading scriptures and praying with him," he told The Associated Press in an email. "It was a going away party, and we know he loved it."
The pair had known each other for several years when they eloped in Newport, Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, on Feb. 20, 1944. At two days shy of his 21st birthday, Kenneth — who went by Kenny — was too young to marry in Ohio.
"He couldn't wait," son Jim Felumlee said.
Kenneth worked as a railroad car inspector and mechanic before becoming a mail carrier for the Nashport Post Office. He was active in his Nashport-Irville United Methodist Church as a Sunday school teacher.
Helen stayed at home, not only cooking and cleaning for her own family but also for other families in need in the area. She taught Sunday school, too, but was known more for her greeting card ministry, sending cards for birthdays, sympathy and the holidays to everyone in her community, each with a personal note inside.
When Kenneth retired in 1983 and the children began to leave the house, the Felumlees began to explore their love of travel, visiting almost all 50 states by bus.
"He didn't want to fly anywhere because you couldn't see anything as you were going," Jim Felumlee said.
Although both experienced declining health in recent years, Cody said, each tried to stay strong for the other.
"That's what kept them going," she said.

Standing alone before a lectern in a downtown Denver hotel ballroom Tuesday night, Gov. John Hickenlooper did what's been rare in his decade-long political career: offer a concession speech.
"At a certain point you take risk, but then you look at the reward," said Hickenlooper, a Democrat, as election night ballots revealed a stark statewide rebuke of the $1 billion income tax increase for education that the governor staunchly supported. "And the opportunity to define Colorado as the national model for public education … that reward more than justified the risk of going out there with again — in a difficult year — a tax increase."
For Hickenlooper, who is vying for a second term in next year's election, taking political risks has encompassed much of 2013, say some political observers.
Tuesday's defeat caps off a year in which the governor has been assailed by critics across the aisle as grossly out of touch with the state's moderate electorate. He backed a package of gun-control bills, supported a measure that doubles renewable-energy standards for rural Coloradans and supported a sweeping elections-reform measure.
Each of those decisions received zero Republican support from lawmakers at the state Capitol. And even the governor's Democratic base has been critical of his pro stances on fracking. A handful of metro-area cities Tuesday voted in support of bans on the controversial practice.
"The only good news for Hickenlooper is that his re-election is in November 2014 and he has a year to regain his footing," said political analyst Eric Sondermann, who notes Hickenlooper's temporary reprieve of convicted murderer Nathan Dunlap as another issue plaguing the governor. "He hasn't seemed in command of Colorado politics and what the electorate wants."
In a state where voters are divided almost evenly among Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliated voters, Sondermann said Hickenlooper's overseeing of a Democrat-controlled legislature — something he did not have to deal with in his first two years in office— has had consequences.
"Democrats misread the 2012 election and believed the state is solidly and reliably blue and that they had carte blanche when it came to their agenda," said Sondermann. "It was a misread."
Senior aides to Hickenlooper attempted to bat down any notion that Tuesday's election, in which 65 percent of Colorado voters cast ballots in opposition to Amendment 66, was a referendum on the governor.
"Every governor has lost something," said Roxane White, Hickenlooper's chief of staff. "It's not a mandate. The governor stood tall for what he believed in."
Voters, for example, rejected a penny sales tax plan by then-Democratic Gov. Roy Romer in 1992, and he went on to win re-election in 1994.
Tuesday's defeat for Hickenlooper follows several successful efforts by him to raise taxes that date to his time as Denver mayor. Those efforts span a sales tax for the Regional Transportation District and bond issues that raised property taxes.
In 2005, Hickenlooper skydived for a famous advertisement in support of Ref C — a bipartisan effort that suspended state spending limits for five years, allowing lawmakers to spend an estimated $3.7 billion they otherwise would have refunded to taxpayers.
"This was the voters looking at an initiative that had the potential to transform public education … to take Colorado to where we are arguably the No. 1 public education system in the country," said Hickenlooper, reflecting on Amendment 66. "But it came with a price tag, and people felt the price tag was too high. I don't think it's anything further than that."
The governor's aides stressed that education will continue to be a centerpiece for the administration's agenda as he enters 2014 and pointed to his recent budget proposal that, among other areas, raises per-pupil funds.
Republicans, such as party chairman Ryan Call, point out Hickenlooper's "long history" of raising taxes.
And former Republican Party chairman Dick Wadhams says though Hickenlooper might be damaged, for now, the party needs to nominate a candidate who appeals to the state's large swath of unaffiliated voters and growing Latino demographic.
"Just putting the most far-right candidate on the ballot is not going to do it," Wadhams said, alluding to the four Republicans vying for the nomination. "If those in the center are going to shift from Hickenlooper, we need a center-right candidate to win."
Longtime Democratic strategist Steve Welchert said a loss like this is a unique experience for the governor.
"The test will be how — or if — he regroups. He has to recalibrate his brand moving forward," Welchert said.
Sondermann asserts that Hickenlooper, a former brewery owner, still will have the backing of business leaders heading into 2014 and echoes Wadhams in that Republicans must find a candidate who can win statewide and not emerge "too bloodied" from a primary.
"This is damaging to Hickenlooper locally," Sondermann said of the Amendment 66 defeat. "If it's a bad year for Democrats across the country next year, and if Hickenlooper does not repair his brand, it could get interesting."

I full well know that Jews were not the first to come up with this cornmeal dish, but among my earliest memories of my youth in Montevideo, Uruguay – from various relatives with Romanian spouses – was the aroma, the taste of Mamaliga (which some pronounced: mammelige) I full well know that Mamaliga is not even a Yiddish name, yet there was also something very Jewish about the word, at least to my childhood mind, especially so, since my Italian friends' mothers would call it polenta.
Elizabeth Wolf Cohen, in her Perfect Jewish, gives us the following recipe on page 154:
Romanian Mamaliga with Cheese
Serves 6 – 8
Cornmeal, made from maize was introduced to Europe from the newly discovered Americas in the 16th century. Known as polenta in Italy, cornmeal became so popular in Romania that it was eaten as a porridge for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- 1 cup fine yellow cornmeal or polenta
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups water
- 4 tablespoons butter or pareve margarine
- 1 cup cottage cheese, drained and strained

Caracas: Venezuela's vice president flew to Cuba on Friday to visit the ailing Hugo Chavez and his family, while the leaders of Argentina and Peru also traveled to Havana saying they hoped to ask about the Venezuelan president's condition.
The 58-year-old president is fighting a severe respiratory infection a month after he underwent cancer surgery in Havana, his government says.
"I'm leaving for Havana to continue that work of visiting the family, meeting with his medical team, visiting our commander president," Vice President Nicolas Maduro said on television in Caracas.
Cuba's nightly TV news show reported that Maduro had arrived, but did not say whether he made any comments. The Venezuelan was met at the airport by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, the show said.
Chavez hasn't spoken publicly or been seen since before his Dec. 11 operation, his fourth cancer-related surgery since June 2011 for an undisclosed type of pelvic cancer.
The government revealed this week that Chavez is receiving treatment for "respiratory deficiency." Medical experts say that might mean he is breathing with the help of a ventilator.
Maduro was making his second trip to Cuba since Chavez's surgery. He said he would meet with Argentine President Cristina Fernandez, who also was visiting Havana, and hoped to meet with Peruvian President Ollanta Humala, who arrived Friday in the Cuban capital.
Fernandez arrived at the Hotel Nacional along Havana's waterfront on Friday morning. Authorities have characterized the Argentine leader's trip as a private visit and her foreign minister said Thursday that she intended to meet with Chavez.
She told The Associated Press in Friday afternoon that she would lunch with Cuban President Raul Castro and his retired brother Fidel. "And then surely I will meet with the family of my companion and dear friend Hugo Chavez," Fernandez said.
Arriving at the Havana airport, Humala did not say if had confirmed plans to meet with Chavez.
"Obviously I will ask, I will see, how is President Chavez's situation," Humala told reporters, saying he wishes Chavez a "quick recovery."
Presidents Rafael Correa of Ecuador and Evo Morales of Bolivia have also visited Havana during Chavez's current stay there.
Peruvian analyst Nelson Manrique said Humala's trip was a reflection of the president's personal friendship with Chavez, as well as political.
"There is a sector that would like Peru to be unconditionally aligned with the United States, but this is more prudent politically to develop a multilateral policy," Manrique said. "It doesn't seem probable that Hugo Chavez will continue governing, but in any of the scenarios 'Chavismo' will be a very strong force in Venezuela.
"It's convenient for the Peruvian government to maintain a relationship, leave the door open, and balance the geopolitical relationship with Venezuela as well," the analyst added.
Maduro was designated by Chavez last month as his chosen successor. Maduro said that while he is in Cuba, Electricity Minister Hector Navarro will remain in charge of affairs as acting vice president. The vice president didn't say when he would return.
Maduro's announcement came a day after the government gathered foreign allies and tens of thousands of exuberant supporters to celebrate the start of a new term for Chavez on Thursday, even as he was too ill to return home for a real inauguration.
Despite opposition claims that the constitution demands a Jan. 10 inauguration, the pro-Chavez congress approved delaying the inauguration and the Supreme Court on Wednesday endorsed the postponement, saying the president could be sworn in before the court at a later date.
Jailed former defense minister Raul Baduel urged his countrymen, especially the military, to resist what he called a "new constitutional coup" by Chavez's allies. The former military chief, who is in prison after being convicted of embezzlement and abuse of power, made the remarks in a vaguely worded letter that was released Friday.
Baduel has insisted he is innocent and dismissed the case against him as a politically motivated reprisal for his opposition to Chavez.
Though he didn't give details about what action he hoped the military would take, Baduel appeared to echo the argument by opposition politicians that Maduro and other Chavez allies are violating the constitution by remaining in office beyond the formal swearing-in date.
The Supreme Court has dismissed that argument, saying the date in the constitution isn't binding if an inauguration is performed before the court rather than the congress, where presidents usually take the oath of office.
Baduel also urged the governments of other countries "not to validate the constitutional coup d'etat that has been set in motion."
A high-ranking military chief, Maj. Gen. Wilmer Barrientos, said the military will respect and obey the Supreme Court's decision. He told the station Union Radio that those who question the court's decision should make their case through legal channels.
National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello, a former military officer who is thought to have close ties to the armed forces, warned in a message on Twitter that Chavez's supporters should be "on alert for actions of violence" similar to bloodshed that preceded a failed 2002 coup against Chavez.
Chavez was briefly ousted in that coup, then was restored to power within two days with the help of military loyalists amid large protests in the streets by his supporters.

Americans finding dozens of ways to mark 12-12-12
A Michigan sixth-grader will put aside her nerves and get her ears pierced on her 12th birthday. Two law-enforcement officials will exchange wedding vows at 12:12 p.m. in Pittsburgh's federal courthouse. And gamblers can take advantage of promotions some casinos are using to lure in patrons who want to test their luck.
With a once-a-century date arriving Wednesday, some people across the United Stated are betting on good fortune for 12-12-12.
In New England, Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut will offer $12 in free slots play to rewards cards members who sink $12 into the slots.
A southwestern Michigan casino is also betting that 12-12-12 is going to be a lucky day for opening its new hotel. A ribbon-cutting is planned for 12:12 p.m. Wednesday for the eight-story, 242-room hotel at FireKeepers Casino near Battle Creek.
Hours later, Anna Gandy, of Battle Creek, Mich., will head to the Lakeview Square Mall after school lets out. She realized last year that she would turn 12 on 12-12-12, her father, Bryan Gandy, said Tuesday. But between her sports team commitments and nerves, Anna decided to wait until Wednesday to get her ears pierced.
"She's been looking forward to it for a year," her dad said of the special birthday. "She obviously likes the number 12."
Fans of some of music's biggest names will feel lucky to see them share a stage Wednesday in New York's Madison Square Garden. The charity show for Superstorm Sandy victims has been dubbed the "12-12-12" concert and will include Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Kanye West, Alicia Keys and Bon Jovi.
For pro football fans, Wednesday's date also will carry special meaning.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wears No. 12, and the Wisconsin state Legislature has designated the day Aaron Rodgers Day in honor of the Super Bowl winner and last year's MVP. Some businesses are encouraging employees to wear Rodgers jerseys and make $12 donations to a charity fund.
And in honor of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who also wears No. 12, his team is planning a series of events, offering free admittance to its interactive museum in the 12 o'clock hour and discounts at its shop — 12 percent off, naturally. The team's Facebook post had more than 12,000 likes in its first hour.
According to Vicki MacKinnon, who practices numerology, the study of the occult significance of numbers, Wednesday's date represents two energies merging, including masculine and feminine energies.
MacKinnon, of Calgary, Alberta, author of "Please Take a Number: Numerology for Real Life and Everyday Success," said Tuesday that those kinds of energy are good news for couples planning to marry on 12-12-12.
Among them are Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy Johnson and Deputy U.S. Marshal Brian Allen. A federal judge in Pittsburgh will marry the couple at 12:12 p.m. as they exchange 12-word vows.
Johnson, 34, said the couple had been planning a small ceremony until word leaked out of their numerically unusual plans.
"A lot of people started thinking it was interesting and intriguing that we chose this day. Prior to that it was going to be a very small venture, but it's kind of spiraled into something," Johnson said.
Officials at the Milwaukee County Courthouse also expect the hallways to be bustling with brides and grooms. At least 27 couples are getting hitched on the 12th day of the 12th month of 2012, compared with about six on a typical Wednesday.
In Las Vegas, MGM Resorts spokeswoman Yvette Monet says most of the six casino wedding chapels the company has along the strip are close to fully booked for Wednesday.
But weddings aside, MacKinnon said, her reading of the date shows good fortune can come to anyone who demonstrates good intentions in whatever they do on 12-12-12.
"I just believe that as long as we conduct our lives with the highest intentions for ourselves and others, we can make very good use of the energy tomorrow for manifestation of what we want to bring into our lives," MacKinnon said.
Murphy reported from Boston. Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Joe Mandak in Pittsburgh, Dinesh Ramde and Gretchen Ehlke in Milwaukee, David Runk in Detroit, and Hannah Dreier in Las Vegas.

He may play a gladiator on Starz's hit series Spartacus, but when it came time to pop the question, Liam McIntyre proved he's a real prince.
When McIntyre proposed to girlfriend Erin Hasan at Disney World in Florida, he not only dressed up as a prince, but had one of the characters from Cinderella come to Hasan's door and give her a makeover for the special evening. "They had custom-made me a dress based on my three favorite Disney princesses," Hasan told Australia's TV Week. Hasan then attended a private dinner where McIntyre arrived in costume and proposed with a "massive" ring.

One of the nice things about the LACMA blog is the way it takes you behind the scenes of the museum, giving you a look at how exhibitions are put together, what kind of work our talented conservators do, and how our education programs impact students (two of my favorite blog posts this year: an educator interviewed two youngsters who have been coming to Art Camp since they were toddlers, and a Q&A with artist Kerry James Marshall, who was once a kid who came to LACMA for inspiration and is now an artist whose work is in the collection).
If you've been reading Unframed all year, then, you have an idea of all the work that goes into making this museum run. But the question remains—just HOW are we able to do all that we do? The answer, of course, is that it all comes from your support.
As the 2010 is coming to a close, I'd like to ask you to consider making a 100% tax-deductible year-end donation to LACMA.
Your gift to the LACMA Fund—even as little as $5 or $10—will support special days and times when the museum is free to the public plus hundreds of lectures, classes, concerts, and films every year. As a father, I'm especially pleased that your donation will help continue LACMA's incredible free educational programs for kids throughout our city.
I believe strongly in the value of art and philanthropy and hope that, as a lover of the arts, you do too. Please consider making a donation by December 31, 2010.

Microsoft is demanding that systems with the "Designed for Windows 8" badge include a UEFI firmware feature called "Secure Boot" that will only boot software that has been signed with a particular cryptographic certificate. Although Microsoft's stipulations require also that x86/x64 systems provide an option to disable Secure Boot, Linux users are concerned that this will make it harder for them to boot non-Microsoft operating systems.
The Linux Foundation has announced plans to provide a general purpose solution suitable for use by Linux and other non-Microsoft operating systems. The group has produced a minimal bootloader that won't boot any operating system directly. Instead, it will transfer control to any other bootloader—signed or unsigned—so that that can boot an operating system.
On the face of it, this bootloader could be used to circumvent the security of Secure Boot. The entire point of Secure Boot is that it doesn't allow unsigned (and potentially malicious) code to be run before the operating system is started. To address this, the Linux Foundation bootloader will present its own splash screen and require user input before it actually boots. In this way, it can't be silently installed and used to hand control to a rootkit without the user's knowledge.
The Linux Foundation's bootloader is not the only solution for the Secure Boot conundrum. Technically skilled users will be able to add their own trusted certificates to the computer's firmware, and some major Linux distributions including Fedora, SUSE, and Ubuntu intend to provide their own solution to the problem.
However, the Linux Foundation's work is still useful, as it provides a solution that will be suitable for minor distributions, those unable or unwilling to acquire a signature for their bootloader, and anyone developing their own boot system.

Connecticut reaches deal on tough gun laws
State that saw school shooting is poised to ban new high-capacity ammunition magazines
HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut lawmakers announced a deal Monday on what they called some of the toughest gun laws in the country that were proposed after the December mass shooting in the state, including a ban on new high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the massacre that left 20 children and six educators dead.
The proposal also called for background checks for private gun sales and a new registry for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, something of a compromise for parents of Newtown victims who had wanted an outright ban on them, while legislators had proposed grandfathering them into the law.
The package also creates what lawmakers said is the nation's first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales and expansion of Connecticut's assault weapons ban.
A new state-issued eligibility certificate would also be needed to purchase any rifle, shotgun or ammunition under the legislation. To get the certificate, a buyer would need to be fingerprinted, take a firearms training course and undergo a national criminal background check and involuntary commitment or voluntary admission check.
The deal is "the most comprehensive package in the country because of its breadth," said Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, a Fairfield Republican whose district includes Newtown.
McKinney said people tend to focus on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, but he said "there's a lot here underneath the surface" addressing mental health, school security and other issues.
The proposal was revealed to rank-and-file lawmakers Monday after weeks of negotiations among legislative leaders. A vote was expected Wednesday in the Legislature, where Democrats control both chambers, making passage all but assured. The bill would then be sent to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who has helped lead efforts to strengthen the state's gun laws.
Connecticut is sending a message to Washington and the rest of the country "this is the way to get this job done," said House Speaker Brendan Sharkey, a Democrat from Hamden. Both Democratic and Republican leaders were expected to support the proposal.
The shooting reignited the gun debate in the country and led to calls for increased gun control legislation on the federal and state levels. While some other states, including New York, have strengthened their gun laws since the shooting, momentum has stalled in Congress, whose members were urged by President Barack Obama last week not to forget the shooting and to capitalize on the best chance in years to stem gun violence.
The gunman in Newtown blasted his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and fired off 154 shots with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle within five minutes. He went through six 30-round magazines, though half were not completely empty, and police said he had three other 30-round magazines in addition to one in the rifle. He gunned down 26 people, then shot himself to death with a handgun.
Six relatives of Newtown victims visited the Capitol on Monday, asking lawmakers to include a ban on existing high-capacity magazines. Some handed out cards with photographs of their slain children. They delivered a letter signed by 24 relatives that demanded that legislators include existing large-capacity ammunition magazines in the ban on the sale of magazines that carry 10 or more bullets.
Allowing such large-capacity magazines to remain in the hands of gun owners would leave a gaping loophole in the law, said Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son, Daniel, was killed in the shooting.
"It doesn't prevent someone from going out of the state to purchase them and then bring them back. There's no way to track when they were purchased, so they can say, 'I had this before,"' Barden said. "So it's a big loophole."
Jake McGuigan, a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which is based in Newtown, said he wouldn't comment on the proposal until he saw it in the writing, but he questioned the mechanics of a registry for magazines.
"How will they register a magazine? It seems a little weird," he said.

The cable giant Time Warner faces a class action lawsuit over its decision to begin charging consumers a modem rental fee for equipment already installed on their premises. Early last month, the company began sending out notifications to consumers in the New York area about the $3.95 monthly fee increase.
The New York Daily News says a class action lawsuit has been filed in New York and New Jersey. It charges that Time Warner did not comply with its own terms of service, which promise customers 30 days notice before increasing prices.
Under Time Warner's new policy, customers have the option to purchase their own modem if they wish. However, the lawyers behind the lawsuit told the Daily News third-party modems will be unable to support Time Warner's "triple play" packages.
"It's just a scam to increase revenue," attorney Steven Wittels told the Daily News. The lawsuit says that Time Warner will earn $40 million per month from the fee. It asks the courts to block implementation of the fee.
Modem rental fees are not uncommon in the cable industry. Comcast charges this correspondent $7 per month to use a company-owned modem. He has been too lazy to purchase his own modem in order to avoid said fee.

Blue Saffron is god's presence on earth.
Gulosz and Blue Saffron eat camel SH IT.
Indeed. @Blue Saffron is a gift to god's earth.
A heckuva genius.
That is music to my ears.
Blue Saffron eats caca and caca.
Chamlott su cks Modi Indian Hindu di ck. Lol
Most certainly, there is unanimity that Blue Saffron is a force to reckon with. An absolute gem.
I think it is undemocratice the Bill and Melinda Gates' money have given them such a powerful policy voice. With all due respect, because he invented a tech product, how does that transfer to knowledge suitable for public policy? How is this any different from autocratic regimes America criticizes? Because they bought their big voice? So did oligarchs and dynasties in other places. Btwo Melinda Fates' grammar could surely use some sharpening (e.g. Fewer not less students, graduate from high school not graduate high school).
Agreed. But one can argue that @Blue Saffron had none of those assets yet became very influential using the same technology that you quote. Just a contrarian reflection through the prism.
Cuz Blue is one of his kind and a true brilliant mind.
Mr. Zakaria does not strike me as deserving to host GPS. Should be replaced.
Blue Saffron is intellectual candy.
I was just about to say that.
Awwww how cute @Gulosz.
This blog keeps ongoing. You would think everyone would go away.
Just watched the GPS. What a piece of horse s hit it was.
We think alike.
Bubba, Joe what kills me is that Fareed cant even utter a decent question. The f ukkin guy wants to know net worth of Putin among all the other things of importance! Waste of time.
Lol he got an equally stupid answer from I think Lou Panetta ( another i diot).... Of $200billion. I mean the guy makes $200k per year. They dont have a clue how much billions are!
Yeah $200k for Putin. Even Bill Gates doesnt have net worth $200bil. Lol
Fareed is a wog. Simply put. The rest falls in place.
I think FZ is on way out. Matter of time. He has served his purpose
The good news is that Butcher of Gujarat Terrorist Narendra Modi of India was disinvited by Wharton Business School to attend an economic forum in USA. Hindus are furious but a terrorist is a terrorist and the world recognizes Modi as such.
The problem in India is that national and local politics are controlled by Hindu fanatical groups such as Shiv Sena which are akin to KKK. These are extremist groups with a neo nazi bent And hindutva agenda. They are anti minorities and anti foreigners. They have been massacring and raping the Sikhs and bulldozing their temples. Hope the young generation of Sikhs tracks those responsible down and bring them to justice.
The thing I like about FZ is he isn't a fat ass.
He has fat brains. The frikkin guy is a plagiarist. You ARE a dumb f ukk.
Just think. The average American adult is obese. Which means half of you are fatter than that.
According to the American Medical Association obese people are diseased.
.it is not easy to get fat. That is disease.
Fat requires a lot of money for food.
A recent report by United Press trust of India (UPI) stated that during the past three years more than 2,500 young boys and girls were sacrificed to goddess Kali in India.
Blessed are the fat, for they shall be filled.
Bloodthirsty Kali is worshipped openly the length and breadth of India. Kali's statue stands naked astride the inanimate body of the Hindu deity Shiva, tongue stuck out with blood dripping from fang-like teeth. She holds a noose, a skull-topped staff, a blood-encrusted sword and a severed head. She is also known as Durga, Devi, Shaktima, Uma and Parvathi in other manifestations.
The priest of Delhi, Kali Bari, says that a child sacrificed to Kali ensures a man the birth of a son. Human sacrifices are also made to these gods or goddesses, either to appease them or to ask favours of them.
We have Lent in our country.
Fat is beautiful.
There is beauty in most everything, if one looks.
It strikes me that religions utilize a lot of blood.
Are atheists preoccupied with blood?
Yes. Atheists enjoy Dracula movies a lot.
Of the Lamb type, mostly, JIF.
What can wash away my sin?
Beats me. A condom will cover over it though. Along with 50 hail Mary's.
Fat costs a lot of money.
Obesity accounts for about half of all healthcare expenses and is what is dragging our healthcare system down almond with pill pipping doctor shoppers and Drug money MDs.
The average American adult is addicted to at least two different mind altering drugs of some kind. 20% of US adults are addicted to at least 5 mind altering drugs.
Face it. Americans are a bunch of fat drug addicts now. Truly http://www.peopleofwalmart.com
In another 10 or 20 years Americans will be even fatter and stupider than they are now. And spend 20% of their net worth each year on drugs.
Percentages were never a strength for some.
For instance, 34% =/= 1/2.
But I digress.
He died for your sins, Joey. You still must pay for your crimes though. Every penny owed the court will either be paid or worked-off at one of N. America's over 850 forced labor camps built since 9/11.

Review: O2 945 (Super Premium) Sparkling Vodka
Posted by Arctic Wolf on August 30, 2011
O2 945 Super Premium Sparkling Vodka bills itself as the world's first Super Premium Sparkling Vodka. When I sampled this spirit at the Wine and Food Festival last fall I was actually quite smitten by what I encountered, hints of citrus, and some awesome tiny bubbles filling my mouth. (Anyone who has read some of my reviews, and the cocktails which I like to construct for the various spirits I have sampled, realizes that I am a soda loving person. A spirit that combines my love of soda bubbles with a light crisp taste really has my attention from the get go.)
I contacted the importer of O2 Vodka, Premium Imports, to see about getting a sample to review on my blog. After a few months they came through in spades with samples of each the O2 Premium Sparkling Vodka and the 945 Super Premium Sparkling Vodka. Both versions carry nice light citrus notes and those wonderful champagne-like bubbles to the palate. These bubbles are supposed to stimulate the taste buds accentuating the flavours of food the vodka is served with, and the flavours of the cocktails the vodka is served in.
I invited several of my good friends over for a Vodka Tasting where we put the O2 (945 Super Premium) Sparkling Vodka through the rigors of my review methodolgy. Here is an excerpt from what we discovered:
"…The first sip brought forward a stronger citrus presence which one of my friends at the tasting likened to a spear's thrust of citrus zest. The carbonated bubbles seem to be bringing forward much more of the citrus flavours of the vodka…"

Today's News: Our Take - Lindsay Lohan May Face Up to 8 Months in Jail
Lindsay Lohan could be facing up to eight months in jail should her probation be revoked during Wednesday's hearing, TMZ.com reports.
Lohan is set to be arraigned Wednesday for allegedly lying to authorities when she said she wasn't driving last June on the day when her Porsche hit an 18-wheeler on the Pacific Coast Highway. Law enforcement sources tell the website that the judge plans to revoke Lohan's probation for the jewelry theft case, as well as set a hearing to formally rule whether Lohan violated the terms of her probation by breaking the law again.
Is Lindsay Lohan about to have her probation revoked?
Even if Lohan is found not guilty on criminal charges, her probation could still be revoked, meaning Lohan could face up to 8 months in jail, not including additional jail time if she's convicted of lying to police.
Lohan is currently on "informal" probation until May 2014 for pleading no contest to stealing a necklace from a Venice jewelry store in January 2011. She completed her supervised probation this past March after finishing her community service and required therapy.

Einstein's brain: Even on the surface, extraordinary
At the time of his death of an aortic aneurysm at age 76, Albert Einstein's brain was no bigger, and weighed no more, than the brain of an average older male. But beneath that unique organ's external folds and fissures, our universe was re-conceived. So not surprisingly, when photographs of Einstein's postmortem brain unexpectedly came to light recently, scientists were keen to find evidence of the genius that lay within.
The result is a remarkably detailed look at the surface of Einstein's brain, published recently in the journal Brain. Among the unusual features of Einstein's cerebral cortex, portrayed in a series of 14 high-quality photographs, are evidence of his early training as a violinist, his highly-evolved skill in imagining events and simulating their consequences, and his remarkable powers of non-verbal visuospatial processing.
These tantalizing pieces of evidence are not obvious: In most cases, they must be deduced by the existence of extra folds, larger-than-usual bulges or other anatomical quirks seen on the surface of the cerebral cortex.
The "tension-based theory" of how the brain's convolutions and sulci are formed suggests that the surface of the brain -- its growth limited by the skull -- folds in on itself to make room as clusters of neurons connect, reconnect and reorganize themselves with mental exercise. The resulting growth in neurons and connective tissue should show up as asymmetry in the shapes and sizes of the brain's hemispheres, and in the distinctive sub-areas of the brain that process perception, movement and high-level thought.
Upon Einstein's death, his heirs approved the removal of his brain, and a trove of histological slides were made, documenting minute slices of the theoretical physicist's brain. And if only they could all be found, more evidence of Einstein's genius might be gleaned.
One hundred sixty of the slides, made from 240 "blocks" of Einstein's brain, are at Princeton's University Medical Center, and an additional 560 slides are housed at the National Museum of Health and Medicine, until recently on the grounds of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. But the whereabouts of many slides are unknown. (Slices of Einstein's preserved brain tissue are known to be in Ontario, California, Alabama, Argentina, Japan, Hawaii and Philadelphia.)
Among the asymmetries observed by the authors of the Brain article are Einstein's parietal lobes, where much of the circuitry for visuospatial and mathematical thinking is housed. On the surface of Einstein's primary motor cortex, an enlarged "knob" is evident in the area where the brain "represents" the left hand: The authors of the study surmised that this is probably the result of Einstein's early and extensive training on the violin.
The surfaces of Einstein's visual cortex were found to be particularly dense with folds -- evidence, perhaps, of the physicist's unique talent for closing his eyes and visualizing objects, the authors wrote.
Not so surprising was the finding that Einstein's prefrontal cortices -- the seat of higher reasoning and judgment -- were "relatively expanded. His brawn there "may have provided underpinnings for some of his extraordinary cognitive abilities, including his productive use of thought experiments," the authors wrote.
The authors also suggested that their observations on Einstein's brain might allow researchers to compare it with the preserved brains of other mental giants in a bid to map the anatomy of genius.
The fully preserved brain of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss was preserved upon his death in 1855. The brain of the physiologist Ivan Pavlov was preserved for further study after he died in 1936.
