Potential political pitfalls of Barack Obama's support for same-sex marriage

President Obama speaking to ABC |
Despite the reality that marital relationships are governed by state law so that presidential pronouncements on the subject are practically immaterial, this is a watershed moment. Symbolism matters in politics.
Moreover, President Obama and his administration – Vice President Joe Biden's earlier expression of support for same-sex marriage was not another "Biden gaffe" – deliberately chose to take a stand on this controversial issue at this pivotal moment. The president had long asserted that he still believed that marriage was reserved for a man and a woman, but endorsed the right of gays and lesbians to enter into civil partnerships. He also noted that his views were "evolving" on an ongoing basis.
All Americans, regardless of what their own views are on same-sex marriage, should respect President Obama for candidly announcing exactly where he stands in the highly-charged context of an election year. It took guts. A lot of observers, including this one, didn't think he would do so.
Some of his advisors surely counseled him not to do so.
In the short time since President Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage, political analysts of every hue have been pondering the impact that definitively "taking a side" will have on his re-election chances. One view, which has been prominently articulated, is that Obama's bold move will have little or no impact on his re-election prospects.
The logic behind this view is as follows. Voters who have a problem with same-sex marriage would not have supported President Obama's re-election anyway. His stance will fire up wealthy donors on the coasts, activists, young people and other elements of the left-wing coalition who helped him defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primary and then win the presidency. Many of these voters either were not active or did not vote in the 2010 mid-term congressional elections and Democrats suffered losses as a result.
Additionally, the logic goes, most floating voters won't make their minds up based solely on the issue of same-sex marriage. This is all largely true.
Furthermore, those who take this view can point to national opinion polls revealing that slightly more than half of the American people now believe in the right of same-sex couples to marry. This is a dramatic shift from opinion polls taken in the mid-1990s which showed that only a quarter of Americans felt that way. This seeming change in public opinion illustrates just how efficacious campaigners for same-sex marriage have been in winning over hearts and minds to their cause. So, is that it? Far from it.
The fact is that President Obama's stated support for same-sex marriage poses a real threat to his re-election bid. Here's why those who believe this to be a political zero sum game are wrong.
First, while there is no question that Obama's statement will energise the left and, most especially, younger voters, it will equally energise voters on the right, particularly evangelical Christians. These voters, who are sceptical about Mitt Romney for a number of reasons, finally have something to galvanise them around his candidacy.
Conversely, there was almost nothing that could have caused them to similarly rally around John McCain, the last Republican presidential nominee. The 2004 election evidences how this might play out. In that presidential election year, conservatives and evangelicals were enraged by a decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in 2003 that effectively mandated the introduction of same-sex marriage in that state. They feared what might lie ahead and mobilised to prevent it. Same-sex marriage bans were approved by varying, yet healthy, margins in 11 states, including Ohio. The heightened activism and turnout they generated on Election Day helped President George W. Bush to a second term.
Second is the issue of floating voters. The reality is that this campaign is going to come down to a relatively small number of floating voters. Although where their votes go is typically dictated by their economic fortunes, some, perhaps especially in Ohio, are heavily influenced by a candidate's stand on social and cultural issues. A significant percentage of these voters in Ohio may not be able to stomach the president's support for same-sex marriage.
President Obama's advisors know that their chances of prevailing in Ohio have taken a hit. Running against Mitt Romney, a former venture capitalist who oversaw the loss of high-paying manufacturing jobs there and throughout the "rust belt," has become more complicated.
Now, Romney can use President Obama's support of same-sex marriage, not to mention other social and cultural issues, to make the choice in November a lot harder for many Ohioans. It will only take a small number to turn the tide – the president won just 51.5% of the vote there in 2008. Losing Ohio would be a severe, and potentially deadly, blow to the president's re-election hopes.
Third is the Hispanic vote. Hispanic voters in the United States remain something of an unknown quantity. Much has been written and said in the media that they tend to be culturally conservative and that negative attitudes about homosexuality are prevalent among male and older Hispanics. Endorsing same-sex marriage could cost the president some hard-earned support in "new" battleground states, such as New Mexico and Colorado, where Hispanic communities are large enough to tilt the balance one way or the other. Victories in these two states would be essential if President Obama were to lose Ohio.
Lastly, and maybe most importantly, the opinion polls reflecting that a majority of Americans now support same-sex marriage are extremely difficult to reconcile with what has happened at the ballot box time and time again.
Just this past week, 61% of voters in North Carolina voted not only to ban same-sex marriage, but to forbid any kind of legal recognition of same-sex relationships whatsoever. North Carolinians voted to do by an overwhelming margin so even though opponents of the measure spent a tremendous amount of money to achieve a different result and utilised former President Clinton in an attempt to sway public opinion. North Carolina is the latest of dozens of states to enact same-sex marriage bans since 2003. In fact, on the historic night in 2008 when Barack Obama won the presidency, voters in Arizona, Florida and, notably, liberal California approved bans on same-sex marriage. These results simply do not comport with the opinion polls. There is certainly more buy-in for same-sex marriage in 2012, yet the polls may overstate it.
There is a precedent for this, known as the "Bradley effect." In 1982, all the late polls showed then-Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, an African-American, defeating his Republican opponent in that year's gubernatorial election. The polls, which prompted at least one newspaper to print headlines indicating that Bradley was the new governor, were wrong. The Republican prevailed.
Most analysts attributed the errant polls to a feeling among some white voters in California that, if they stated their support for the white candidate, they could be open to the charge of racism. This feeling skewed the polls. The very same phenomenon may be at work in 2012 on the issue of same-sex marriage. Supporting same-sex marriage is certainly regarded as the "politically correct" position to take. And again, the results of referendum after referendum would seem to indicate that what some people say publicly does not reflect what they ultimately do in the privacy of the ballot box.
In the end, not a lot of voters will decide whether to vote for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney on the basis of their views on same-sex marriage. It's still the economy, stupid. But a small number will, and that could be enough to be decisive in November. See more: Irish Politics

PART 4 (LAST): Through all this, both Jesus Christ and St Paul (and others) were preaching – just like the ancient Hebrew prophets - that despite the many sins afflicting the world, there was still God's love and forgiveness and freedom from the condemnation that awaits evil (i.e. salvation) IF AND ONLY IF people humbled themselves, repented of their sins and turned to God (Romans 8:1, &c).The fact that St Paul's writings are of singular importance and centrality to universal Christian doctrine, and that by his expansion upon the foundations created by JC very clearly places morality and holiness of character and action at the centre of Christian belief in a much more defined way, should unequivocally dispel any attempt to argue that JC was at least "indifferent" to homosexuality.
Perhaps though no statement more clearly condemns the present overturning of faith, family and morality in general, and the current push for complete "acceptance" of homosexual deviance in particular, than this chilling prophecy: "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away". 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV) [Upper Case added] Apologies for the length of the reply and for the multiple partial replies, but Eiriamach's claim needed to be comprehensively answered, and this website isn't conducive to in depth discussion. La fin.

PART 3: Eiriamach's comments are further contradicted by merely examining the context within which JC & others operated. Jesus was sent to be Redeemer ("Messiah") of the Jewish people, and through them the world (JC even stated to a gentile woman who kept asking for healing and deliverance for her daughter "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs", Mark 7:27); and this strongly suggests that the sins He specifically addressed were particular to the Jews of His day. That this by no means rules out the other sins is clearly indicated by the later condemnation of a wide range of sins by St Paul, who had been reared in the SAME moral code of the SAME strict religious society as JC. But whereas JC was ministering specifically to the Jewish people, St Paul's mission was to minister to the Gentiles, and as such the sins he addresses were those afflicting the societies to whom he evangelised – whether it be the drunken feasting of the Celts of Galatia, the widespread slavery of the classical world, the greed of the mercantile classes, or the (by then) pandemic sexual immorality of the Greeks. In this, St Paul (and others) explicitly and repeatedly mentions homosexuality (in pre-modern terms) as being sinful and/or perverse (Romans 1:26-7, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:9 and Jude 7 – which BTW reinforces the traditional understanding of Sodom's condemnation and destruction being at least partly for its homosexuality), and like ALL sexual immorality is deserving of God's judgement.

PART 2: This means that JC upheld the Jewish Law concerning sexual sin, including homosexuality (i.e. that it's an abomination in the eyes of God). That this remained the case with JC is indicated by His calling the adultery of the accused woman "sin", when He said to her "Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more" (John 8:11); as well as the fact that JC deliberately ministered to sinners and the outcasts of his society, saying in response to criticism "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance" (Luke 5:32). I.e. JC still upheld the very clear high moral standard of the ancient Hebrew prophets (who always stressed genuine inner holiness (necessarily incl. sexual purity) and compassion over outward religious ritual), but was however quick to mercy and to forgive the sins of others when genuine repentance was offered (such as the sinful woman in Luke 7:34-50), and heal, deliver and even resurrect when the desperate and/or needy acted and spoke in faith (such as the paralytic man in Mark 2:1-12). This was in line with JC's mission to save the sinners of this world (e.g. John 3:17, Mark 2:17, 1 Timothy 1:15).

Eiriamach's claim that homosexuality "seems to have been a non-issue with Jesus" and her(?) obvious attempt to minimise the NT condemnation of homosexuality is clearly a "furphy" and conveniently overlooks the many moral lessons the Bible teaches about holiness and (sexual) sin, which remain unchanged despite however much some deluded fools (like "Bishops" Spong and Robinson) seek to twist the Holy Scriptures in order to justify their own faithlessness and wickedness.
The first of these is the fact that Jesus Christ upheld the ancient teachings on morality. JC stated "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." (Matt 5:17-8, NKJV). The very clear inference is that He was (by extension) upholding the ancient moral institutions (such as marriage, which JC ONLY mentions as being between Man and Woman, e.g. Luke 10:1-12) and that He was addressing ALL sins condemned by the Law and Prophets, and including His support for the Law but that now He was "fulfilling" the Law (i.e. by His blood sacrifice as the spiritual Lamb for the Jewish people and all of Mankind, JC was/is saving from condemnation all who humble themselves before God and repent).

Eiriamach, I apologise for the delay and the length of my rebuttal to your claim that homosexuality "seems to have been a non-issue with Jesus", but it needs to be in some depth, and because of the formatting of the comms boxes here, has had to be broken up into parts.

Eiriamach: you claim that so-called "marriage equality" is about "justice and equality", but then fail to mention that homosexuals have the power to choose their immoral lifestyle (the so-called "Gay Gene" being dubious science and contested at BEST), whereas children – the inevitable and innocent victims of "Gay Marriage" and "Gay Adoption" – don't have the power of choice about the lifestyles of the families they're born or adopted into. Furthermore, there is evidence that at least some homosexuals are deliberately trying to bring their children up to be "Gay".
So tell me, where is the justice in having those who CHOOSE to have a lifestyle that naturally results in infertility, to have the power over the lifestyles of the innocent children who get placed into their care? And where is the justice in thereby forcing those unfortunate children to immediately grow up in a family that has NO hope of functioning like a normal Man-Woman household, where there is at least some hope (even if the marriage is dysfunctional and/or fails) that the child experiences healthy male and female socialisation and respective role-models? Short answer(s): there ISN'T justice in this – once again the innocent suffer from the self-serving ideology of the politically correct.
(And before you say "oh, but what about the extended family?", ask yourself what will be the impact of this revolution in social affairs after a few generations, when western society has continued in its atomisation and the ancient tradition of the "family" has collapsed further and there IS no "extended family").
BTW, it's interesting you claim "justice and equality", when paedophiles have also claimed the exact same thing, and in Amsterdam have even protested for their so-called "humans rights".

"It's still the economy, stupid," yes. But we now know enough about the economic crash to realize that our American "greed is good"/ "profit is the only good" ethos led Congress to eliminate the regulations that would have prevented, or reduced the impact of, the crash. We know that Obama's moral approach to domestic policy is far superior to Romney's profiteer's approach. We all intuitively know that Obama has the interests of all Americans in mind while Romney advocates narrow upper-class interests. I have no doubt that most voters, regardless of their views on same-sex marriage, will do the right thing in November. They will not elect a businessman who traded the jobs of many workers for the short-term, legal but immoral, profit of Bain Capital investors. That's our bottom line in "privacy of the ballot box."

Andrew007 conveniently overlooks the fact that JC never called same-sex relationships "sin," nor did he have anything to say about homosexuality. It seems to have been a non-issue with Jesus, as it is with most American young people as well as the majority of Catholics today. The NT writers' allusions to sexual morality almost always condemn adultery, yet latter-day Christians delight in focusing on the imputed "immorality" of gays and lesbians while turning a blind eye to the sexual immorality of heterosexuals-- which accounts for the largest share of the "secularization" of our society, about which RC are forever complaining! It is completely irrelevant --a blatant ad hominem --to claim that Obama had crass political motives in lending support to marriage equality. His remarks derive from his and Biden's shared concept of justice. That's the argument opponents must deal with, but they cannot because Obama and Biden are right about justice and equality. One can speak of the political *consequences* of Obama's remark, as Donnelly does, without stumbling into ad hominems, but it's crude indeed to suggest that only politics counts in such a moment.

@NYCsheridan: If you read your Bible you will find that Jesus Christ also had respect for the law and the Prophets, which includes traditional morality concerning sexual sin. Remember, While He stated "those without sin cast the first stone", he still called sin "sin", and instructed the woman accused of sinning in adultery to "sin no more". So yes, JC of course had amazing compassion but He also high standards and lived and taught accordingly. Something that you and many others would do well to remember.

Obama, whilst brave, has politically made a big mistake: all of the so-called "swing states" are against so-called "Gay Marriage", all of the southern and mid-western states are against it, and he has now infuriated all of the Black and Hispanic voters who traditionally vote Democrat, but have clung onto traditional Christian values far more than have many white Democrat voters (incl, noticeably, many Irish-Americans who've abandoned Catholicism for liberalism and are secular in all but name).
Additionally, judging by the comments of many of the pundits, to many people other than homosexual activists (and their supporters) this is seemingly just a 'red herring" to distract from the very real and severe socio-economic problems facing the USA at the moment which the Obama administration has either been unable to resolve or has been instrumental in causing or exacerbating: i.e. worsening astronomical debt levels, weak manufacturing sector with declining competitiveness, increasing entrenched poverty and homelessness, no clear economic vision from the Democrats, declining accountability for the GFC creators (Wall St) whilst the increasingly cynical and even restive US population ("Main St") is at having to pay for their debts, and worsening global economic instability and uncertainty with spiralling crises emerging from the EU.
Furthermore, the famed rag of US liberalism, the NY Times, has itself claimed that while few are surprised by Obama's public support for "Gay Marriage" the Obama (election) campaign has sought to capitalise upon this situation, with Obama's fund-raising manager (himself apparently homosexual) deliberately seeking to promote political donations based upon Obama's declaration.
Like the old magician's trick of smoke and mirrors, there is far more than meets the eye here methinks …

It was great, "Sky walk" is quite expensive but we're glad we did it! Cameras aren't allowed but the guide took great pictures that we bought. After all, you only go there once! Book it for the early afternoon and after you can enjoy lunch or dinner at the Sydney Tower restaurant Buffett (on another floor). The restaurant turns around, lots of variety in food. You are there for 1 hour 30 minutes, plenty of time to eat, take pictures and enjoy! After you can roam around the city, everything is near - parks, shopping, sights.

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch buffet at the Sydney Tower..one of the highlights of our trip to Sydney. The food was delicious, with an emphasis on Asian cuisine (at least on that day), but still many other choices that you may prefer. We recommend that you book the first seating on your given day, so that you may be seated at one of the tables closest to the window. We noticed that guests who arrived later were seated higher up away from the window, and consequently didn't get to fully enjoy the amazing 360 degree view as you rotate high above the city. Also, a souvenir photos is taken, which at 35.00 is quite pricey for one photo- before we filled our table with food, we simply asked a family next to us to take our photo next to the window, and we did the same for them- perfect. After the brunch, enjoy the Westfield shopping mall below...very high end, but a lovely place to browse no matter what your budget.

The food and the views were marvellous, even better than our previous experiences with Sydney Tower. The only small problem was we had a large party - viator was not able to book a large table, so we had to firmly insist when we got there so that we would not be split among several tables. But the waiter was very friendly, and even this issue was resolved.

I had never purchased an online ticket before and I must say my lunch at Sydney Tower was fantastic. The weather held out, I was very impressed with the food on offer as was my UK visitor. An hour and half was just perfect timing and I found the waitstaff very friendly and helpful. I think the only down side would be the 'photo pack offer'. I think its a great idea but the quality of the photo would never warrent $35. It was a special lunch overall and has no hesitation promoting amongst my network of friends and associates

We visited Sydney Tower Restaurant for my son's 11th birthday and had a great time. Food was so yummy especially the Thai Curry Prawns and the views were fabulous. The weather was beautiful on the night. Would suggest to take the 5.30 or 6.00pm sitting in winter so you see the sun go down. Received a phone call to confirm the booking the lady advised where to park just need the restaurant to stamp the ticket to get the cheap rate which was great. We had a great night and cant wait to go back in summer!

On a girls weekend away we finished with dinner at the tower. I was the only one of the four of us who had been before, for the others it was a huge surprise and they loved it. The views were of course gorgeous, it was fun working out what was what and which Sydney icons we could spot. To round off a great evening there were fireworks at Darling Harbour just as our table got to that side, and it seemed like a show just for us!
The food was fantastic, good thing the lifts were working because we could barely walk with the amount of food we ate. I got to try crocodile and emu and kangaroo meat, and all the other favourites as well. One of our group is gluten intolerant but still found lots to eat.
Overall, a fantastic night with great company and beautiful views as well. Thank you Sydney Tower!

The Sydney Sightseeing Pass is excellent value. The Aquarium must be one of the best in the world, the Harbour Cruise is a must for anyone visiting Sydney and lunch at Watson Bay was great, The Sydney Tower is fabulous and the Wildlife world is simply great for anyone wanting a close look at Australian wildlife. If your not in Sydney for long this Pass is a bonus.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 2:48 PM - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Over the years I've talked to a lot of victims of identity theft.
One thing many had in common... they weren't diligent about checking their credit and were blindsided when they learned someone had stolen their identities.
To protect yourself head to this site, www.annualcreditreport.com
It was created by the three major credit reporting companies... Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
In just a few minutes you can print out a copy of your credit report after inputting your name, address, date of birth, social security number, and other information only you would know.
You also can get a copy by calling a 1-877-322-8228, but that takes about two weeks to get back in the mail.
Since the three major credit reporting companies offer one free report a year, you can request stagger them every four months and stay on top of any inaccuracies.

CustomerCarl from Fairfield TX
There are eight guides that hold the rack rails in place. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the top two guides on each side in order to remove the rack from the dishwasher. The plastic axles on the rack and the rollers snap on. Use the hammer and punch to bend the metal clip on one end of the rail. Remove the plastic end piece then slide the rollers out. Place two new rollers in the rail and put the plastic end piece on. Use the hammer and punch to bend the metal clip back into place. Snap the rails on the rack and set the rack on the guides in the dishwasher. Replace the top guide using the screwdriver, you will have to twist the rails in order get them in between the guides.

Level of DifficultyReally easy

CustomerSharon from Southlake TX
Removed the white end of the top track. Pulled off the remnants of the rack roller. Slide the rack roller wheel into the track and popped the other end on the top rack (looked at the other rack rollers to see how it fit.) After that, I put the end back on the track.... Note what is the top and what is the bottom of the track end. Realizing that there is a wider area on the track to slide part of the white track end through to get it on without much effort.

Customersteve from Bedford IN
I had a slow drip under the dish washer that originated from the solenoid shaft. The replacement o ring fixed it up. While I had it pulled out I replaced all the door seals and top rack rollers.I ordered the parts on a Thursday evening and received them on Friday. WOW now that's fast! The parts came from Illinois and I live in Indiana so that might have helped but I was very surprised and glad for the quick service. I would defiantly order from Parts Select again. Thank you!
CustomerJanice from Murphysboro IL
I removed screws holding the rollers to the side of the dishwasher. I pried the end caps from the slide. I removed the broken part from the upper rack. I then replaced the broken rack roller, inserted into the slide and screwed the rollers which hold the slide into the sides of the dishwasher.
CustomerEmil from Ocean Isle Beach NC
Removed stops on top rack. Removed rack, removed all rollers, replaced with the new ones. replace rack in machine replaced stops.
Level of DifficultyEasy
CustomerRon from Int'l. Falls MN
I watched the Part Select video, and it was very helpfull.But next time I would watch the video before I ordered the parts, and think about other parts that I may break duing the repair.
CustomerLaurence from Clinton MA
My suggestion is to replace all four rollers at the same time since they are all the same age. Fortunately, four rollers come in each pack you order. You need to remove the end cap on borh metal rack rods which takes a little doing. You cannot just pull the caps off. You need to twist the end cap to free up the little catch at the rear of the end cap. Once the end caps are off, just pull of the old rollers and install the new ones, replace the end caps and you're done.
Time to do repair:15 - 30 mins
CustomerKenneth from Jamison PA
Took off the end cap- hardest part- took some twisting-be careful not to break it. After that slid out the old part and just popped the new one in. Then it took a little while again to put the end cap back in. No tools needed.
CustomerAlexander from Commerce Township MI
I pried out the slide stops (just twisted the little plastic tab on the stop). Slid the top rack out. Popped four roller assemblies off. Popped four new ones back on. Aligned the top rack with the slides and slid it back in place. Finally, rocked the stops back in place by inserting the bottom first and pivoting the top. Had to use pliers to move the little plastic tab stops into the upper channel. Done. Works like a champ.
CustomerBarry from Mohrsville PA
First I removed end caps of top roller rack. Caps have small squeeze tounge that must be squeezed and twisted to remove. Then simply roll out rack. plastic clips and wheels are easily removed and replaced.
CustomerBruce from Mahwah NJ
The trick in replacing the roller wheels is to remove the plastic/rubber "stop" that is attached to the front of the stainles steel track. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to bend the small plastic extension on the "stop" so it would be released and then remove the "stop" from both tracks. Once that is done then simply slide out the rack assuming some of the wheels are still attached to the tracks and/or the wheels. The next step is to install the new wheels onto the rack. Then, slide the rack/wheels onto the tracks. Then, snap the "stops" back onto the racks.You're done!!
CustomerFrederick J from Howell NJ
Used a small flat head screw driver to remove the rail end covers (2) and removed the rack. Used my thumb to push the snap on roller assembly off the rack. The new rollers snap right back on the rack with just fing pressure. Re-installed the rack and then just pushed the rail end covers back on.Very Simple Repair to a great machine. First problem in 13 years and still works great.
CustomerCAROL from ARLINGTON TX
Removed the plastic end cap on each roller guide , snapped off the existing four rollers and removed. Inserted the new rollers into the guide, secured them into their places and replaced the end caps.
CustomerRosemary from Washington DC
First, I removed the end caps from the rails on both side and slid the top rack out of the dishwasher. Then I removed the crumbled roller and clips with the pliers. Next I installed the new roller and clips, aligned the top rack with the rails and re-installed the top rack. It was incredibly easy and I am so pleased with the availability of the parts at Parts Select and the fast delivery. Thanks for the opportunity to share my experience. Rose
CustomerBrad from Olathe KS
Very easy, just twist the back 1/2 of the white tab that is in the end of the roller bar and pull out the front. Be sure to put back in the opposite when finished

Posted 6:10 AM 11/20/2012 : Thieves targeting Tucson limousine company
TUCSON- If you want a special ride for your wedding, graduation, prom, you name it, Limoport Transportation will pick you up for the party.
But these days, the company's owner, Dale Hulvey, has nothing to party about.
He says over the last couple of weeks, thieves and vandals have targeted his fleet. "They just took the mirrors and twisted them until they broke," Hulvey says.
He says they also stole the windshield wipers off all of his limos.
In the latest incident, three cars broke down in the middle of the road. "We have high suspicion that they broke down because of water being put in the fuel," Hulvey says.
He says all the crimes will cost him at least $15,000. "With everything added up it has become a major problem and it's time to prosecute," Hulvey says.
Over the weekend he filed a report with the Pima County Sheriff's Department, which is now investigating all of the incidents.
Deputy Tom Peine has a few recommendations for business owners, to make sure they're protected. "You want to have good lighting on the property and it's surroundings," Peine says. "Also, perimeter security, like a fence, is something that can prevent intruders from entering the property and then also surveillance video."
Hulvey isn't sure why anyone would target his company, but he doesn't want to let it happen again. "It makes us more than angry," Hulvey says. "That's why we're going after them with a vengeance."
Limoport Transportation is located at 7493 N. Oracle Rd.
Hulvey operates out of an office building owned by Hazen Enterprises. Brandt Hazen tells News 4 Tucson this is the first case of vandalism among his tenants in 15 years.
Hazen also says after hearing about Hulvey's case he has hired a security company to patrol the parking lot at night, seven days a week.

Detroit's Holmstrom makes retirement official
Tomas Holmstrom makes retirement official after 15 seasons with Detroit Red Wings
Tomas Holmstrom has made his retirement official after 15 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings.
Holmstrom's announcement Tuesday was no surprise, but the Red Wings held a news conference before their home opener to give the Swedish winger a chance to reflect on a career that included four Stanley Cups and over 1,000 regular-season games.
Holmstrom, who turns 40 on Wednesday, says he had the greatest job in the world.
Last season, Holmstrom had 11 goals and 13 assists in 74 games — the 24 points were his lowest total since 1997-98, his second season.
The gritty forward was known for his hard-nosed play in front of the net.

A New Energy Tribune
By Michael J. Economides
We have been around for almost seven years. This is not a small feat for me, an engineering professor that has written books such as Reservoir Stimulation and Petroleum Production Systems, to branch into the realm of energy, political and geopolitical journalism. Five years earlier I co-authored The Color Of Oil, which went on to become a national best-seller, trying to explain to regular people the nuances of energy and the role that it plays in modern society and life.
Towards the end of 2005 it was becoming abundantly clear that energy was to become an even more important geopolitical issue. At that time a "perfect storm" was brewing, joining events happening simultaneously in far flung parts of the world, a situation that eventually saw the price of oil escalate to $150 per barrel in July 2008, just before the economic collapse that still tortures the world.
- In Iraq those horrible pictures coming out of the Abu Ghraib prison, increased the fear factor in the Middle East to a crescendo. There was persistent speculation that Al Qaida had Saudi oil production facilities at the crosshair.
- In Russia, in what his own economic advisor Andrei Ilarionov called the "swindle of the century," Vladimir Putin re-Sovietized the Russian oil industry by expropriating Yukos and by throwing its boss Mikhail Khodorkovsky in prison where he is still left to rot to this day. In the meantime, Russia has evolved into a corrupt petro-state and Putin is back for another term as President.
- In Venezuela, socialist populist Hugo Chávez, threatened to re-nationalize the oil industry and eventually he did good to his threat. Venezuela today produces one third of its potential oil, lower than during the first nationalization of the 1970s. Chávez just got re-elected to another 6-year term.
- China went berserk exactly when these things were happening. There has never been a country in the history of humankind which increased its oil consumption by 20 percent per year and the Chinese did it then for three years in a row. Even when China is slowing down its rate of growth and energy increase are still horrendous. Just for natural gas, by 2020 China will have to quadruple its current consumption.
It was clear in 2005 that oil and energy would dominate geopolitics and local politics. It was also clear that a journal dedicated to de-mythologizing energy issues and presenting reasoned analysis from the technical to the economic and geopolitical would fill a niche.
The type of subject dealt in Energy Tribune became even more compelling because of the climate change debate, when an entire political class in many developed countries identified fossil energy as the "biggest threat to humankind" and embarked into a losing and extra-ordinarily expensive proposition for "green" energy. The debate, at times taking metaphysical and secular religious overtones, is still raging on in some countries, coloring entire political parties and weighing heavily on national budgets that have difficulty handling a lot more rudimentary things.
We are moving on and we are just marking a new milestone. Effective today and to emphasize emerging energy areas of the world with potential and voracious readership, the Energy Tribune will be issued in three languages, other than English: Spanish (Editor Andrés Cala), Greek (Editor Elias Conophagos) and Hebrew (Editor: Ayala Yarkoni Sorek). Articles in translation and freshly generated pieces in the respective languages will be offered daily.
Just click on the respective flag (if you speak the language you also know the flag) and you are transported to a different place and a different world view.

Nice enterprise switch.Pros: This 2400-24 is an enterprise-grade layer 2 switch with cisco style cli along with a web interface. It has the cisco-style feature of a running config and two saved configs. This is likely why one reviewer lost his settings. If you aren't familiar with cisco running-config behavior then you might forget to save the running config and lose the settings on reset. Cons: Not a cisco so the average tech won't be familiar with it. 5x8 support. You will need to keep a spare - no 4 hour replacement. Other Thoughts: Personally, I love these switches. You just need to keep spares - which is no problem since these are 1/4 the price of a cisco. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Better than most at this pricePros: Full command line interface available via serial port, telnet, SSH. Cons: Web interface and its help screens cryptic Other Thoughts: I have three of these, with two edge switches each connected over multiple links to the central switch with my servers. There are multiple VLANs and everything works as expected. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
YIKES - NOT SO SMART!Pros: Fatally flawed IMO Cons: De-powered the unit and moved it into my system - LOST ALL IT'S SETTINGS! Other Thoughts: So sorry I bought this. Out of return window. LAST time I purchase anything based on only two reviews. 1 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great DealPros: Lots of features. At the $200 sale price, outstanding bang for the buck. Cons: The manual is complete, and in real English (for the most part), but is overly verbose, and not particularly clear on the details of certain features. Not a big deal. Other Thoughts: I've had this installed for a week. No problems at all. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Very good bang for the buck. Switch has been running smoothly ever since setup with sustained gigabit traffic on several ports. Has more bells and whistles then anything else in this price range, even some L3 features. Also, the sfp ports are not shared/switched with copper ports, other mfgs would call this a 32 port switch. Cons: The manual is written towards a non network professional audience, though it is very detailed. Even though I am not a network professional, I feel that it insults my super network skillz , and I have an ego. Other Thoughts: Despite missing from the newegg product pictures, rack mount brackets are included. This was a major concern for me when ordering. 9 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

At that time, Bob Stevenson was a top aide to then-Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee. He described the threat then as an "action-forcing mechanism" that resulted in the creation of the "Gang of 14."
Stevenson warned if Reid employs the nuclear option now it would "dramatically change the very nature and culture of the Senate, spilling over into already poisonous partisan debates down the road and making resolution of those issues even more difficult."
He said he is hopeful, but not optimistic, that when senators meet Monday night, the seriousness of the potential consequences will lead to "cooperation and compromise."
A Democratic aide, who was also at the center of the 2005 fight and who asked not to be identified, said he hopes when the senators meet privately maybe "some of the more seasoned veterans of these battles" will come forward and say "'Isn't there a way to resolve this?' That's what happened in 2005."
McConnell said Sunday that he hoped an ugly fight can be avoided, as it was in 2005 when "cooler heads prevailed."
"We knew it would be a mistake for the long-term future of the Senate and the country. That's what I hope is going to happen here, David," McConnell told NBC's David Gregory. "We have an opportunity to pull back from the brink in this meeting we're going to have of senators in the Old Senate chamber Monday night. I hope we'll come to our senses and not change the core of the Senate."

Dream: Hometown TornadoSo last night, I had a rather strange dream. It started with my family going to my hometown and spending a night at my grandparents' house. The weather was a little cloudy at first, so I decide to just go for a run and went into town. When I got to the main street, I started to feel strong winds. Winds strong enough to push everything around. And the thing is, I really felt it. The wind, the pain of being blown against buildings and dragged along the ground. I felt it all, and it felt so real! And when I looked over to my left, I looked back to the neighborhood where my grandparents' house was and I saw a HUGEASS tornado the size of a colossus! I even heard laughing coming from the air. Sinister laughing that almost sounded like Jim Miller. I remember the one thing I yelled from that was "Ho...Holy...HOLY SHIIIIT!!!!" I saw a bunch of people acting like I was crazy and just seeing things and completely disregarded the tornado as if I was the only one who saw it. I woke up a bit later a

Dream: I Fought A Kangaroo And The Kangaroo WonSo last night, I had a rather strange dream. It started with me walking in a combination of nature and a city. Two conflicting enviornments. When I walked by what looked like my house I saw that a lot of stuff was being carried out of it. I noticed that a lot of it was my stuff! But it wasn't being taken out by a man or any machines. It was being taken by a kangaroo of all things. It was a female with an empty pouch. When I went inside, I saw that the house was almost empty! My family was nowhere to be found and the only humans that I saw were 3 people. Mykayla and Jenny, two friends of mine from High School and Tyler, a co-worker of mine at this one grociery store that I work at. For some reason they were singing a song that sounded like JAM Project's Transformers Evo. I had no idea why since they didn't even know each other. Nor did they know Japanese. Except Jenny and Mykayla. They did know each other. Anyways, I asked them what's up and they just pointed to the kangaroo. I realized

Psychology Final EssayJohnathan Benedict12/06/2012PsychologyWhy Am I Here?Why am I here? Good question, I will admit; it keeps me up at night sometimes. That's the kind of question that you'd expect to be able to answer in a few sentences at first, but then when I think about it, I come up with so many answers, I don't know where to begin. Well, I'll give it my best shot, though something tells me I'll be wrong about every single thing I say from here on. Nevertheless, here's my answer to that vexing question.Why I decided to take the psychology course is because I am majoring in art and education and this was one of the required courses to take for education. I also have a bit of a knack for helping people resolve problems by talking to them and playing the role of counselor. I want to be able to help people more with that kind of talent. I lost count how many times I've seen people fight and I was the one who stepped in to calm them down. That is one reason why I chose to take up psychology. So I can
English Final EssayJohnathan BenedictDecember 3rd, 2012EnglishCreative Writing EssayCreative writing is one of my favorite hobbies that I like to do on my free time. Whenever I write a story, essay, review, countdown, or script, I always feel like I'm in perfect control of myself and what I'm doing. I have put a lot of thought into my works and for the most part, they have received good feedback. To begin with this essay, how about a little trip back in time to when creative writing was a new thing. In fact, it goes back to the time when mankind first discovered its own intelligence.To be honest, it's very hard to pinpoint the exact date or time when mankind first started telling stories since they were originally first told with reading the markings on bones, paintings on the walls, looking at the stars and making constellations with their own imaginations in the sky. Before man started writing stories in written language, they illustrated them in pictures or told them vocally in their own language
Tiny Lady (Loki x Baby!Reader)"I vow that everyone here shall suffer if someone does not remove this fiend from my person!" Loki growls as he tries to untangle your curious fingers from the silken edge of his pants.Thor's laughter is booming as he steps forward to pick you up and hold you in one of his large arms."Now brother, this tiny lady is no fiend," Thor coos playfully, stretching out a single finger to tickle at your belly.You laugh giddily, small fingers wrapping about his finger, a large grin on your face."Yes," Sif says in that gentle baby voice everyone seems so keen on adopting when in the presence of an infant, "She's a lady."Sif wiggles her finger over your stomach and you watch her silently before laughing and reaching out to take one of her fingers in your hand."Agreed!" Fandral throws in, sauntering over to peer down at your face.You trill delightfully at the addition of third face, hands on a new mission as they stretch
Watch your step - Loki x Blind!OCWatch your step - A Loki x Blind!OC drabbleSummary: Having lost her sight during the New York attack, a young girl deals with living in large city. Returning home one evening, she bumps into a stranger. She was walking down the sidewalk, moving her walking stick in front of her to ensure that she wasn't going to bump into something or fall into a hole (not that it would be the first time it happened, anyways). She sighed lightly, feeling the chill evening breeze play in her hair. Pulling her jacket closer, suddenly her walking stick slipped, causing her to stop dead in her tracks. Listening closely, she tried to figure where it had fallen before she turned to the right, took a step and instead of bending down, she bumped into something.Or...someone. From what she could sense, a tall person was standing right in front of her. She assumed she had bumped into their back because she felt movement as soon as she touched them as then she almost

They all stopped for a moment, and then turned around, staring at her murderously.If a pin was dropped on the forest ground right now, she guessed she'd hear it. The silence was not very comfortable either, now that she could feel everyone's eyes on her."Sorry." She squeaked before s
Dave x Reader - Warm Up To MeYou slowly walked down the street, your left hand interlocked with the right of Dave Strider, your boyfriend. The two of you were heading home together, as you did everyday. Snow blew in the air around the two of you, and each wore light jackets - you were both pretty stubborn when it came to winter coats to face the winter weather. At least Dave was bright enough to wear a scarf, unlike someone who decided to leave their face exposed to the cold, wet snow.You squinted your eyes and let out a small achoo! and quickly shook it off. Dave chuckled and reached over, ruffling your [h/c] locks. Unable to hold it in, you sneezed a few more times. You rubbed your nose with your jacket sleeve, hoping it would sooth the burning pain.Dave glanced over at you. "You look cold, babe." He casually poked the tip of your nose.You frowned. "I am not cold," You muttered, trying to the sound of your chattering teeth. If he thought that you were cold, he would probably mak
AtC: OverprotectiveThe familiar squeak of the hinge as you pushed open Rivaille's door made you smile as you entered, watching as your husband looked up from the window he was standing at. He glanced at you for a moment without greeting before turning back to whatever has captured his interest down in the courtyard below. A playful smile danced on your lips as you strode over to where your husband stood, hands folded behind his back. "I brought you lunch." You declared, setting a small basket of groceries down on the surface of his desk. Rivaille did not look up. You paused for a moment, observing him. His brow was furrowed in an expression of frustration or mild anger, you weren't sure. His mouth was a taut line, his eyes half lidded as he stared down at the courtyard."What are you looking at?" You asked, though you already knew. You wandered over to the window, placing a small peck on Rivaille's cheek before gazing down into the courtyard. A young lady, with dark feathery
By Sheer Chance (2P Romano x Seamstress!Reader)Everyone knew the name Lovino Vargas. If you didn't that meant you were living a rock for the last few years. He was a famous fashion designer and some of his creations were seen all over the country, Europe, Asia, everywhere. He did what he did with pride and he was unisex and some of his creations cost almost nothing but some of his designs cost an arm, leg, and even spleen. Sometimes he would charity auctions, even a rumor that he once walked into a high school arts and crafts fair saw a that the drama and arts department were selling their costumes and other creations to keep the art programs open. He bought them out, gave them back and donated it all back within the same day. Everyone thought he was either genius or mad. There were other rumors too, that he was very difficult to work with. There's was story where he made models run out of his studio in tears. One model regaled how she he told her that she wasn't "It". She was accepted everywhere and w
Throwing Punches (Thor x Reader One Shot)The punching bag swayed slightly as you battered it with a barrage of sloppy punches. You hadn't spoken a word since the attack on New York, since you'd learned Coulson had died, and the Avengers were starting to worry. As a skilled tactician and a deadly martial artist, you'd been with the initiative from the start, a Shield agent paralleled only by Hawkeye and Black Widow.You attacked the punching bag angrily and without proper form, ignoring the pain it caused your unwrapped wrists and fingers. There was only one person who could get through to you when you were like this and it just happened to be the very man you were grieving. Coulson had been the family you had never had, the friend you always wanted, and the mentor that you desperately needed.The chains holding the bag up groaned as you landed a particularly forceful punch. You hated Fury for using his death as fuel for the fight. You hated Steve for not signing his trading cards before he died. You hated Lo
Hetalia Kid-Countrynapped Chapter 14"Take out her records..." Ludwig muttered. Matthew took out a heavy file, the countries glanced inside. No such thing had happened, no sudden illnesses , no nothing. They looked at each other. She hadn't even been to her country. (Name) looked in as well and blinked, she knew this wasn't hers. The countries looked at each other, had they gotten the wrong person?(Name) shuffled away from the medical records, she glanced at the people who were staring at her with a confused look on their face."Dude, how can the hero get it wrong?" Alfred asked looking shocked. (name) tilted her head, so if she wasn't who they thought she was they would let her go? She sighed."So why am I here again?" She asked slowly. The countries glanced at each other, an awkward silence filled the air."Well... oh dear" Arthur coughed glancing at everyone."The awesome me refuses to believe that I, the awesome, am wrong!"

Broken Family (Parent!England x Child!Reader) It was a cold day in London. The ground was blanketed with white. A day before Christmas, on a dreary and lonely night. Shouting could be heard, muffled by thick walls of a house. It was Arthur Kirkland, and his unhappy spouse. She snapped at him, the poor soft man. He could not answer, he could not understand. Why was she so angry? Why did she scream? He understood now, what her shouting could mean. Arthur was not a rich man. He did not have extra to give. But, he had enough, for the three of them to live. For this, the wife shouted. She grew with greed. She wanted more than he could possibly feed. The argument ended, the woman ran away. She left the poor British man, and the lonely child to stay. The child wept, confused as can be. "Why did mommy leave?" they asked, as they tried to plea. How did the woman not see that she left such two precious people behind? How could a fool be so very blind? Arthur felt empty within. He held the

Gunfighter Ballads & Trail Songs
List Price: $7.99
Your Price: $4.32-
Marty's contagious love for these Old West songs made this 1959 LP one of his best-and one of the best country albums of its time. You get Marty Robbins Sings Hank Williams as a bonus; the hits El Paso; Big Iron , and The Hanging Tree join Marty's takes on Kaw-Liga; Long Gone Lonesome Blues; I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry , and more!A lonely Westerner in Nashville, Marty Robbins salved his soul by cutting an album (in one afternoon) of mostly self-composed cowboy ballads. One of them was a four-and-a-half-minute epic, "El Paso," that broke every rule of Top 40 programming to become a No. 1 pop and country hit in 1960. Robbins was arguably the most surefooted and accomplished singer in all country music, and that was never more obvious than on

Immunological evaluations in nonhuman primate (NHP) models are essential for the advancement of vaccine research. In particular, vaccination and SIV challenge of macaque species is the best animal model for evaluating candidate HIV vaccines in pre-clinical studies. As a result, the Nonhuman Primate Immunogenicity Core (NIC) was established to support the research efforts of investigators at the VRC.
All studies that are conducted through the NIC are processed in a standardized manner using the same standard operating procedures (SOPs) for tissue preparation and T cell assays. For example, the NIC uses a qualified 8-color ICS panel and assay for the measurement of IFNg, IL-2, and TNF from CD4 and CD8 T cells. An 11-color variant that allows for the measurement of memory markers in addition to cytokines is also available. For ELISpot, the SOP that was developed and qualified for the NHP Core of the Collaboration for AIDS Vaccine Discovery is used.
The NIC manages basic, translational, and preclinical NHP studies. Basic research interests include lymphocyte trafficking, the generation and maintenance of memory responses in systemic and mucosal sites, and pathogenesis following simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection. Translational research studies are performed to optimize a variety of different platforms and vectors by studying the effects of different adjuvants, schedules, and delivery methods on immunogenicity. Finally, the data from preclinical testing of vaccines in NHP models is used to support moving clinical products forward to human testing and can be critical to regulatory filings. The responsibilities of the NIC include the following:
To perform these operations, the NIC uses state-of-the-art technologies available at the VRC including 18-color FACS analyzers, 18-color sorters (one in BSL-3 containment), reagent manufacturing capabilities, and the Fluidigm real-time PCR system for single-cell gene expression.

Chocolate, the internet and the BBC engage
I get sent a lot of press releases and I ignore almost all of them. Especially the ones that send me a top ten list and talk of a new groundbreaking methodology behind their results.
But I couldn't pass by on one that gave a list of brands in an order that isn't what you'd normally expect to see.
This particular list by Hall & Partners puts Cadbury and Google at the top and measures brands British people most engage with.
In the top five of this lis are a confectionary company, three new edia companies and the BBC.
Google takes the number one slot as the brand British people most engage with and personally I can see that – it's a lot of people's homepage, it is almost everybody's search engine and it's apps are becoming more prevelant in the mass user base.
Then there's Cadbury – most people love chocolate.
Amazon takes the third slot in this research and the BBC is in fourth with Facebook taking up the fifth – I thought Facebook may be higher than Amazon as Facebook sucks you in but I guess not.
The rest of the list includes more common consumer brands like Marks & Spencer, Sony and Dove.
But one surprise is Microsoft – I thought they would be a LOT higher, especially as they're the most used OS by a long way but I guess the 'average' user doesn't notice the OS.
Is it that MS Windows has become so much part of the furniture that people don't realise who it's by? Or is the fact that Microsoft is in the top ten and NOT Apple a sign that Windows does hit the mark in terms of user recognition but the iPod doesn't?
Or is this just yet another silly survey?
