5 Marriage Myths, 6 Marriage Benefits
by Linda J. Waite
Linda Waite is a professor of sociology at the University of Chicago. This is an edited version of her remarks delivered on 14 November 2000 at Brigham Young University. Dr. Waite had recently published a book titled The Case for Marriage (Doubleday, 2000) with co-author Dr. Maggie Gallagher of the Institute for American Values.
. . . The book [The Case for Marriage] began more than five years ago as a study that I was doing for the National Institutes of Health with Lee Lillard, an economist now at the University of Michigan. We studied the relationship between marital status and mortality-the chance that someone will die. We used a large national survey and followed people over eighteen years. Some started out unmarried, and got married, and then got divorced. We could look at how the risk of dying changed for that same person when he or she was became married or unmarried.
What we found was dramatic. We found, to summarize briefly, that married men and married women are much less likely to die than otherwise comparable unmarried men and women. Our results implied that in a group of one hundred 48-year-old men, about sixty-five of them would be alive at age 65 if they were unmarried. In the same group of one hundred men, almost ninety would be alive at age 65 if they were married. For married women, we found the same gap, but smaller. So for unmarried women about eighty of one hundred would be alive, and for married women about ninety of one hundred would be alive at age 65. For both men and women, there were large, consistent effects after taking into account all the other characteristics of the individual.
This being an academic project, I had to figure out what was going on-why married people were less likely to die. I found a lot of literature on health and health behaviors suggesting that married people were less likely to die in part because married people live healthier lives. At about that time I gave a presidential address for the American Population Association in which I looked at some of my own and others' work about marriage. I think scholars working in many areas knew, in the little areas they worked on, that married people were better off, but nobody had put it together. I stepped back and had one of those "Voila!" moments; you know, where the bell rings and says, "Look, there's something big here." It's much bigger than the little things that we scholars tend to focus on, and I wanted to take these often obscure research results to the general public. The federal government had funded almost all of our research, and I think that taxpayers almost never get anything back directly. Therefore, this was a story that I felt obligated to tell.
I also knew, because I've been trained as an academic, that my writing skills, if they'd ever been fabulous, had been distorted and perverted by my graduate training. I could only speak in jargon, so I probably wasn't the person to do all the writing. I joined forces with a writer, a nationally syndicated columnist, Maggie Gallagher, and together we wrote The Case for Marriage, which brings these research results and our interpretation of them to the general public.
What I want to do now is to tell you about five myths concerning marriage that are common in American culture and to tell you why they're all wrong. First I'll just run through the myths and then I'll demolish them.
The first myth is that divorce is usually the best answer for children when their parents' marriage becomes unhappy. When you ask people in attitude surveys like the General Social Survey, "How much do you agree with the following statement: When a couple is unhappy, divorce is often the best solution even if they have young children," about 70 percent of the American public says they agree or strongly agree with that statement. It's become almost a moral imperative to divorce if you're unhappy, and as we'll see, there's something wrong with this picture.
The second myth is that marriage is mostly about children-if you don't have kids it doesn't matter if you marry, stay single, or cohabit.
The third myth, which I hear all the time, is, "Isn't marriage good for men and bad for women?" I'll tell you where that myth arose and why it probably never was right, and why it certainly isn't true now.
The fourth myth is that promoting marriage and marital obligation puts women at risk for domestic violence. In fact, the first objection I heard to the Population Association talk was "What about domestic violence?" In the book I did analyses on domestic violence and I can show you that this myth is wrong, too.
The fifth myth is that marriage is essentially a private matter-just between the two people involved; that it's an affair of the heart between two adults and that no outsider, not even the children of the marriage, should be allowed to affect or interfere with it.
Some of the research I did for The Case for Marriage shows that in many cases, staying together is the best solution if the marriage becomes unhappy. I used the National Survey of Families and Households to gather data. Thirteen thousand adults were interviewed in late 1980s and again five years later.
At the first interview, one of the questions asked was how they would rate their marriage on a scale of one to seven, "one" being just awful and "seven" being fabulous. I analyzed the people who had rated their marriages as bad in a couple of different ways. First, I looked at those who said, "On a one-to-seven scale, my marriage is a one." I then found the data for almost all those who had said their marriages were awful and looked at the same question when they were interviewed again, five years later. I found that only about 10 percent of the people who had said that their marriages were terrible had divorced. The vast majority had stayed together. Of those who said in 1987 that their marriages were awful, 87 percent said five years later that their marriages were either pretty good or very good, either a "six" or "seven."
I did the same analysis looking at people who said "one," "two," or "three"-anything bad-in 1987, and five years later, three-fifths of them were in the top two categories in marital satisfaction. We don't know if they got therapy, but most of them probably didn't. Most of the marriages that were bad became much better. I think in a lot of cases when marriages are unhappy it's sort of a bad patch, and it doesn't last. One reason divorce is relatively high in our society is because now either person can leave, and we are more willing to leave than we used to be if we hit a bad patch. We're less likely to work it through. But there's evidence that dramatic turnarounds are commonplace. They're the typical experience.
Even in 1972 she found, as everyone else had, that married women were happier than single women. She reported the findings for men in the text of the book and reported the findings for women in the appendix. She discounted the positive results for married women with reasoning that, "Well, women are happy only because they are meeting a socially valued goal [marriage]. So, they're just doing what they're told. And that's why they're saying they're happy. But in fact, their psychiatric symptoms are at such a high level that we have to think they are just deluding themselves." She asserts in the book that some societies bind girls' feet, but in our society, we bind girls' psyches, and marriage actually makes women crazy.
She did no original research for the book and there were critiques when it was published, but the book and her message that marriage was bad for women came at a time when the women's movement was just beginning. Politically it caught a wave and entered the general culture as accepted wisdom. You still see her ideas in marriage textbooks, as if they were established fact-the earth is round and marriage is bad for women. I don't think the case for that conclusion was ever good.
In the meantime we've developed much better measures of psychological well-being and much better analytic measures. The world has changed in ways that have made marriage different for women than it used to be. The most recent research, which again uses the National Survey of Families and Households, looks at measures of emotional well-being when people were interviewed in the late 1980s. It follows them over the next five years and uses the same measures of emotional well-being again. During that period some of the people stayed married, some got married, some got divorced, some stayed divorced, some got married, divorced, and remarried, some became widowed-you can compare changes in emotional well-being, because you have the same measures for people in these different groups.
This research shows that if you take people who were married the whole time as the comparison group-the baseline-then all the others basically do worse on almost all nine measures of emotional well-being. The sole exception is people who got married for the first time-they did better. What is really interesting is they found no differences between men and women on any of the measures. For both men and women, the married did the best and everyone else did worse, except those who got married for the first time.
What's also interesting is there's an argument in the literature that divorced people are often upset, unhappy, and emotionally troubled because divorce is a strain. But, according to this argument, once you get through that transition, basically you're fine. It's just the transition that's tough. In fact, what they've found is that those people who were divorced during the five years from one interview to the other did substantially worse than the married people. So being in the transition created by divorce wasn't a risk factor for poor emotional well-being, but being divorced, possibly several years after the transition phase, was related to poor emotional well-being when compared to that of married people.
Jessie Bernard's conclusion that marriage is good for men and bad for women was based only on psychological well-being, but we've taken that message and applied it, or thought it applied, to marriage more generally. There was never evidence on any other dimension that marriage was a good deal for men and a bad deal for women, and there are lots of other dimensions to consider.
What's interesting is that the rates of interpersonal violence are also lower for married men. The same things that put people at risk for violence generally put people at risk for intimate violence-being poor, being poorly educated, being relatively young, being black, and being unmarried. Again, the National Survey of Families and Households asks people the extent to which arguments between them during the last year had become physical. And then, if they had become physical, whether one partner had hit, kicked, or shoved the other partner. And then, if that had happened, who had done it. "Did you kick?" "Did your partner kick?" Given that you know the gender of the respondent you can figure out male-to-female violence and female-to-male violence.
I looked at rates of violence for married couples and for cohabiting couples taking into account their characteristics-how old they were, how long they'd been together, their education, and their race. I found that for married couples, rates of domestic violence male-to-female are about the same as female-to-male. Therefore, when couples are violent, generally both are violent. Women are as likely to initiate violence as men are.
Now that's only part of the story because obviously the size difference means that if someone is seriously hurt, it's generally the woman. And this ignores serious violence of the kind that sends people to shelters and emergency rooms-which is almost exclusively man-against-woman. In addition, the proportion of people who said there had been violence in their relationship was about twice as high for cohabiting couples compared to married couples, and with cohabiting couples the male-to-female violence was higher.
The literature argues that there are different types of cohabiting couples, one being the engaged couples who are just waiting for their hall to be rented (e.g., they rented the hall for October and it's March), but on lots of dimensions they look very much like already-married couples. Then there are what I call the uncommitted cohabiters, who have no plans to marry and who look, on almost every outcome we can measure, worse. In looking at domestic violence I found that, although levels of domestic violence were lower for engaged cohabiting couples, they were still much higher than for married couples. So, if you had to make an argument against domestic violence, you'd say either never have a relationship with a man if you're a woman, and never have a relationship with a woman if you're a man, or you're better off married. If you're going to have a boyfriend, an ex-boyfriend, a husband, an ex-husband-someone you live with-you're better off to be married to that person. The argument is that when you get married, you become socially connected to a whole set of people who have an incentive to help you reduce violence. You have your wife's brothers, you have the people at work, and that actually helps-it inhibits violence in married couples. Also, because married couples have more to lose if the relationship ends, their commitment to the relationship reduces violence.
Married people produce more so they have more. But, and this is a really important point in my view, the specialization does not have to be a traditional, gender-traditional, specialization. I'm not saying that women should only work in the home and men should only work in the market, and that men should never diaper a baby and that women should never earn any money. How you specialize is not so important. You pick some things and the other person picks some things and you
I haven't talked about sex-the sex part of my book is work that I did using a large study of sexual behavior done at the University of Chicago; it was on the cover of Time magazine in about 1994. I looked at sexual satisfaction for married, cohabiting, and sexually active single couples. I took into account their other characteristics, attitudes, sexual practices, how long they had been together, health, whether they had kids, education, and how religious they were.
What I found was that both married men and married women reported higher emotional satisfaction with sex than otherwise comparable cohabiting men and women. Among the sexually active singles, the only people who reported the same high levels of satisfaction were people who expected to be with their partner for the rest of their lives-the engaged singles. Something about being married, especially for women, increased their emotional satisfaction with sex. I would argue that marriage changes women's sexual behavior for the better-certainly toward more sexual exclusivity.
Assume that you accept my argument, that you buy my case for marriage, that married people are healthier, they live longer lives, and they're happier. But popular culture or American society believes these erroneous myths, which are unsupported by research-what do we do? What I did was write this book to get the evidence out to the general public. But I think we need to start a conversation about marriage. In Washington, D.C., people in the marriage movement talk about marriage as the "M word." Listen to politicians talk about marriage. They say family values. They rarely-I would say never-say, "We need to support marriage." I think we have to talk about marriage. It's not the same as any other family arrangement. It doesn't bring the same benefits. Pretending that it does is not doing anyone a service. I'm not making a moral argument; I'm making a public health argument-what's good for you. It's not the only argument you can make, but it's a powerful argument. We have to talk about marriage. We have to talk about it as an important institution, and hope that as a result of that conversation people will become more aware of the benefits of marriage. So, can I count on you to spread the message? Thank you.

McCartney Launches Tour This Weekend
Paul McCartney kicks off his 2013 Out There world tour at Belo Horizonte, Brazil's Mineirao Stadium. The trek, which will stretch though the August 14th closer in Regina, Saskatchewan, will take in stops throughout the U.S. and Canada — along with shows set for Poland, Italy, and Austria. Unconfirmed rumors and fan reports have McCartney recently dipping into his Wings catalogue for a reprise of such fan favorites as the classic opening medley "Venus And Mars/Rock Show/Jet," "Letting Go," "Magneto And Titanium Man," "Listen To What The Man Said," his first-ever live version of Wings' 1978 chart-topper, "With A Little Luck," along with George Harrison's 1970 solo classic, "All Things Must Pass" — which McCartney last performed live in 2004.

fibrinogen (cont.)
What should I discuss with my health care provider before using fibrinogen (RiaSTAP)?
You should not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it, or if you have ever had any other life-threatening allergic reaction.
If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use this medication. Before using fibrinogen, tell your doctor if you have a history of stroke or blood clot.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether fibrinogen is harmful to an unborn baby. Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
It is not known whether fibrinogen passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Fibrinogen is made from human plasma (part of the blood) and may contain viruses and other infectious agents that can cause disease. Although donated human plasma is screened, tested, and treated to reduce the risk of it containing anything that could cause disease, there is still a small possibility it could transmit disease. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.
How should I use fibrinogen (RiaSTAP)?
Fibrinogen is given as an injection through a needle placed into a vein. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection. You may be shown how to use your medicine at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of needles, IV tubing, and other items used in giving the medicine.
You will need to mix fibrinogen with a liquid (diluent) before using it. If you are using the injections at home, be sure you understand how to properly mix and store the medication. Do not mix fibrinogen with any other medicines, or give other medicines through the same IV line.
Fibrinogen contains no preservative. Once you have pierced the rubber top of a vial with a needle, you must use that vial right away or throw it away.
Do not shake the medication vial (bottle). Vigorous shaking can ruin the medicine. Do not draw your fibrinogen dose into a syringe until you are ready to give yourself an injection. Do not use the medication if it has changed colors or has any particles in it.
After mixing fibrinogen with a diluent, use it right away or store the mixture at room temperature and use it within 24 hours. The mixed medicine should be clear or slightly colored. Do not use the mixed medication if it has changed colors, is cloudy, or has any particles in it.
Each single-use vial (bottle) of this medicine is for one use only. Throw away the vial after one use, even if there is still some medicine left in it after injecting your dose.
To be sure this medication is helping your condition, your blood may need to be tested often. This will help your doctor determine how long to treat you with fibrinogen. Do not miss any follow-up visits to your doctor.
Use each disposable needle only one time. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
Store the unmixed dry powder in a refrigerator or in a dark cool place. Keep the medicine protected from light and do not allow it to freeze. Throw away any unused vial after the expiration date on the label has passed.

Pantene Pro-V Protecting Damage Defender Spray
Pantene Pro-V Protecting Damage Defender Spray Reviews
A pretty decent drugstore heat protectorWhile i scanned the Walmart shelves of my drugstore to find a good heat protector to replace my Matrix one for my hair straightening routine every morning i notice theres not many to choose from. So i choose Pantene due to its claims of protecting your hair from heat damage due to heat styling. It was about 4$ so very inexpensive. I sprayed the pleasant smell of Pantene on my damp hair and straigh...read moreten it when it dried. It made my hair shiny soft and smelled nice. My hair was touchably soft and i got compliments. Beware though an overload of this can weigh down your hair and make it fall flat. So fine hair people go LIGHT. Otherwise an okay drugstore buy. — 8 years agoTweetybird11000 | 97 reviews

I use this before flatironing, blowdrying, and morning styling as well as right before bed. Great conditioner between washes....I love that it doesn't leave buildup in my hair. — 9 years, 1 month agoNewWife08 | 29 reviews

So, Old Guys Don't Love Remote Control Cars?
Basically, two guys are wanting to mess with some older fellas, so they got a remote-controlled car to drive out on the green.
What happened next is very "Jackass"-y.
NSFW audio, via Devil Ball ...
I have watched this thing like five times and have laughed every time. I love that the kids are so pissed, I love that the old guy took his club to it, I love that they almost went to blows, and I love that the old guy ran after them the whole time. Love is in the air, indeed!

Im sorry but that was not funny to me. Those two old farts can be very lucky i was not one of the two kids because i would have broken both their legs.
To go after a kid with a golf club is atempted MURDER. They should go to jail. Stupid old men who probably cant get it up anymore and decide to take it out on two kids, how is that funny?
The kids played a harmless prank and the guy wants to KILL HIM with his club??
Again i have to applaude the kid for laughing at it, if it was me, I would have made sure the old stupid men have to eat their food thru a straw for the resto of their days.
Rarely have i been upset over a video like this. The kids should press charges

" Product Type: Air Nailer "
When my husband and I purchased our new home it was definately what you'd call a 'doer upper'! It literally needed everything new, new kitchen, new bathroom, new windows and doors, floors, the lot. So to make it a bit easier for us we bought some tools which would make jobs quicker and simpler (we only had a month to make it livable) and also would last us. We bought an electric handheld sander, a workbench, and a few other items including this Stanley Bostitch GBT7850K-U.
We purchased it from Screwfix when they were running a sale and we puchased it at the great price of £250 including VAT, this is amazing as usually it's £320 ish. It sounds a lot considering most people for DIY would use a good old hammer and nails but we knew we had a LOT of work to do far beyond the usual call of everyday household DIY.
We went for Stanley as a brand as it's a british brand and it's well known, we felt we were getting some quality with a decent name behind it. There is a manufacturer's warranty included.
The Stanley Bostitch GBT7850K-U fires 15 - 50 mm nails so it's suitable for a variety of jobs from light work and flat packs to harder jobs like putting up our shed and hanging the kitchen cupboards. At 1.8kg it's not too heavy considering the two lithium ion rechargable batteries (we leave it to charge overnight and it lasts a good 4 hours of continued use) and it has a decent rubberised grip so you can keep a hold of it. It has a sequential firing action so you can nail as fast (or as slow) as you need to and always feel in control. Each magazine holds 100 nails and they are loaded into the side of the nailer rather than into the top. The head is easily and safely removed for fast jam clearance, but after six months of labour intensive use we have never encountered a jam.
It comes complete with 100 nails, a recharging cable (3 pin mains) and a carry case which is hard and durable. It also comes with a car charger, it must be our car or maybe it's just the power it needs but after a 1 hour charge the nailer would run for maybe five minutes. It's far better to charge it via the mains, I think there is limited power from a car charger.
I have to say that this was a great buy. OK it's a bit on the pricey side for occasional use but if you have a lot of DIY to do, a house refurb, or you're in the trade, then this is a great tool to have. It really does do the job well and it's saved us so much time and effort over manual nailing. We put our shed together in just over an hour, there must have been 250 nails all told, this would have taken the best part of a day by hand! It's just so easy to use and I can see this lasting us for a long time. It's something you'll only buy if you really need it but I highly recommend the Stanley Bostitch GBT7850K-U, it's a great tool and well worth the money.

We went to the beach Saturday for the first time this summer, and from that you might normally expect pics of the waves, sand, shore, maybe family shots. I did take a few of those, but these nature shots interested me more. There are storm sewer outflow pipes on the beach where we go to swim, and covering them are massive colonies of two shellfish species: barnacles (the lighter ones above) and mussels (the darker ones below). Each seems to have it's particular comfort zone and habitat.
Here's a closer look at the boundary. One can almost imagine a very slow turf war here between light and dark, an epic struggle.
Scattered along the beach were about a dozen large jellyfish, I believe the species "Lion's Mane," though I could well be wrong. The top part is a mushroom-like cap. Looking down into this one I can imagine some kind of dying alien intelligence looking back.
On the underside, in this case torn away from the cap, is a collection of anemone-like pseudopods, looking rather like a half-melted ice sculpture.
Sunday evening we went to the beach again for a fireworks display, in a different shore town this time, after a nice Mexican dinner. We brought our beach chairs and enjoyed the pleasant temperatures, also walked to the town hall to hear part of a classical music concert before settling in for the fireworks show. Here the fireworks are set off from a barge out in the water, and the show was typical, but quite fun. Who doesn't love fireworks, other than animals and war vets perhaps? And who can resist trying to photograph them, even when the results will mostly be poor. This one is the most in-focus attempt.
This one was the most colorful.
Today, July 4th, we're staying home to avoid the crowds. On our porch, Tigger and Leo are on Chipmunk watch, searching high and low, and we all saw the beast at lunch time. Other distractions like bugs are always welcome. Leo uncovered a HUGE horned beetle hiding in a crack at the edge of the porch yesterday, inside, and I greatly regret not getting a picture of it, but I have to admit I was a little freaked out myself. It must have measured at least two inches long, and I was anxious to get it outside quickly!
A few images from our holiday weekend, hope yours is good as well!

THE MEDIA BUSINESS: ADVERTISING; This year, Super Bowl advertisers are hoping to stand out while not stepping over the line.
By Stuart Elliott
Published: January 10, 2005
NEITHER the outcry over the content of Super Bowl commercials last year nor the fallout from the episode involving Janet Jackson during the halftime show have deterred a lengthy list of blue-chip marketers from signing up as sponsors this year.
Still, the advertisers, which are paying record prices to appear during the game to be broadcast by Fox on Feb. 6, are paying close attention to the tone and tenor of their commercials. The marketers, which include Anheuser-Busch, Ford Motor, General Motors and McDonald's, are anxious to avoid a repeat of the vociferous complaints generated by last year's spots. Some were centered on erectile dysfunction, while others featured characters like a flatulent horse, a crotch-biting dog, a Scotsman who wore nothing under his kilt, a male monkey wooing a human female, an elderly couple fighting over a bag of potato chips and a man who mistakenly underwent a bikini-wax treatment.
''When you try to do something that stands out in a game full of advertisers trying to stand out, you have to walk a line,'' said David Lubars, chairman and chief creative officer at BBDO North America in New York. ''And some people walked over it last year.''
BBDO North America, part of the BBDO Worldwide division of the Omnicom Group, is creating campaigns for several sponsors of Super Bowl XXXIX next month, including FedEx and Visa. ''I don't think anybody goes in saying, 'Let's do spots in bad taste that will offend everyone,''' Mr. Lubars said, adding: ''Last year, people thought their spots would be funny like they were in past years. But they just didn't work out.''
One reason could be that the controversy caused by Ms. Jackson's ''wardrobe malfunction'' during the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII last February seemed to have amplified the reaction against commercials deemed to be tasteless. They included spots for two prescription drugs, Cialis and Levitra, that treat erectile dysfunction, as well as for products like Bud Light beer, Lay's potato chips and Sierra Mist soda.
''You won't see some of the more 'out there' creative you saw last year,'' said Rick Dudley, president and chief executive at Octagon Worldwide in New York, a sports marketing agency owned by the Interpublic Group of Companies.
''This is going to be a big 'G for general rating' Super Bowl,'' he added. ''Long term, people will loosen up a little, but short term, they'll pull in their reins.''
That attitude is reflected in the approach being taken by several Super Bowl sponsors.
''We're not going after stupid jokes or bad humor,'' said Martin Lee, vice president for marketing at Olympus Imaging America in Melville, N.Y., a division of the Olympus Corporation that will run two commercials during the game for a new product, the m:robe 500 digital music player and camera.
''We're looking for our ads to be engaging and entertaining,'' he added, ''and maybe get people to get up and dance a little.'' The commercials, by the Martin Agency in Richmond, Va., owned by Interpublic, carry the theme ''Let your pictures groove'' and are styled like music video clips. They are the first Super Bowl spots for Olympus since 1981.
One first-time Super Bowl advertiser, the MBNA Corporation, is featuring in its commercial an old-school singer, Gladys Knight, whose performance is highly unlikely to evoke comparisons to Ms. Jackson's.
''Nothing about our campaign would raise those concerns'' that plagued advertisers last year, said Mark Levitt, senior executive vice president and director for brand development at MBNA in Wilmington, Del.
The MBNA commercial, by the Helm Agency in New York, part of the WPP Group, will carry the theme ''If you're into it, we're into it,'' referring to MBNA's specialty of issuing affinity credit cards cosponsored by charities, universities, clubs and organizations.
Other marketers making their Super Bowl debuts include CareerBuilder.com, a job-search Web site; the Ciba Vision unit of Novartis; and GoDaddy.com, which registers Internet domain names.
''There's no doubt this year the advertisers, and the halftime performers, are on a short leash,'' said Bob Parsons, president at GoDaddy.com in Scottsdale, Ariz., part of the GoDaddy Group, whose commercial is being created by the Ad Store in New York.
''But that works for us as much as it works against us,'' he added, because ''people are going to be very interested in watching how this year is going to compare'' with last year.
Mr. Parsons said he was also not deterred by the record price for commercial time, averaging $2.4 million for each 30 seconds, up 4.3 percent from the average price of $2.3 million that advertisers paid CBS for Super Bowl XXXVIII.
''People who don't do business with us don't know us, so we're stepping up to an aggressive marketing program to reach those people,'' Mr. Parsons said. ''And we thought, what better way to kick it off than the Super Bowl?''
Mr. Parsons recently made a similar argument in comments he posted on a Web log, Brand Autopsy (brandautopsy.typepad.com), which had urged him not to advertise on the Super Bowl. In his posting, as in his interview, Mr. Parsons said the Super Bowl spot would be only the beginning of the GoDaddy.com campaign, not the entire campaign, as was the case for so many busted dot-coms in 2000.
For every GoDaddy.com, there is an America Online, H&R Block or Monster Worldwide, advertisers that are sitting out Super Bowl XXXIX after buying commercials last time.

Why are people so hyper-sensitive when somebody says something that they don't like? The CEO of Chik-fil-A came out against same-sex marriage. He never said that he would not hire homosexuals or that he would not serve them in his restaurants.
Everybody has a right to say what they believe, yet it seems like people get so worked up when they hear something they don't like. Mr. Cathy responded the way Jesus would. We all could learn how to express our views as Mr. Cathy did, without being hateful.

Georgia, as well as the rest of the nation, continues to slug through this economic down turn. It is absolutely imperative we continue to maintain a governing philosophy that looks at scrutinizing each agency to determine if tax-supported services and agencies are still needed. Furthermore, I have demonstrated a commitment to reduce the size of government and its unnecessary intrusion into the lives of Georgians.
This past legislative session, I voted to pass HB 456, also known as the Georgia Government Accountability Act. This bill would allow the state to determine whether there is a continued need for existing state-run programs and agencies. This would be done through the Joint Legislative Sunset Advisory Committee, which would evaluate state agencies and entities based on their productivity, efficiency and responsiveness. The committee would then submit its findings to the General Assembly with a recommendation for legislative action that could include privatization, consolidation or elimination of the state program or agency. This law has been enacted in other states like Texas and has proven to save millions of dollars to state government.

text: There are a few problems with IC production testing. One is test time. Jitter testing, and PLL testing, can be slow. Every additional second you spend testing an IC, is a second you could have spent testing another IC. If you take 5 minutes testing each and every part, you'll never ship in volume. So it's not uncommon for IC vendors to sample-test some of those characteristics that take longer. Again, the hope is that the other tests you do on every part, will catch 99.99% of problems; but the assumption is that most PLL or jitter problems, also manifest themselves as something else measurable (like out-of-spec delays or Iddq, etc.). Off-hand, I would guess that test gear like the Wavecrest are used for exhaustive tests done on random samples and not every part. The other problem is at-speed testing. Often, for various practical reasons, the testing must be done at slower than normal or maximum speeds. As long as the test engineers have properly characterized the devices so that the slow speed testing catches most speed related problems, it may be deemed acceptable. It's a trade-off. As a simple example, you may not really need to test a NOR gate that has 50ps delays, and is capable of handling 2GHz, at 2GHz; when a single non-repetitive delay test on a rising edge and a falling edge may suffice (in addition to the usual DC tests). But unforeseen problems can happen that don't get caught, especially if they are limited to narrow frequency ranges only. What if your IC vendor tested his parts at maximum and minimum frequencies, but it only has the jitter problem at nominal? But if the IC vendor's parts are primarily digital -- and, oh, by the way, they also have a PLL in them -- they may not have considered problems like this. Their test engineers may not be well versed in analog characterization. I should also mention that a lot of ICs being bought and used, even by big companies, are grey market ICs that failed their manufacturer's testing. Said parts were probably sold as scrap to be disposed, but the folks they sold them to were unscrupulous and turned around and sold them onto the grey market, which these days seems to include normal distributors and resellers. This is not a small problem. You don't know what you're getting unless you buy direct from the manufacturer. (Someone on another list is giving away a batch of bad grey market ICs that he bought through a distributor.)

Pork producer margins declined $0.76 per head, but margins remain positive at $19.89 per hog marketed, according to the Sterling Pork Profit Tracker. Negotiated cash hog prices declined $0.61 per hundredweight last week to $101.03. Pork packer margins declined $6.12 per head for the week, resulting in losses $6.12 per head, According to estimates developed by Sterling Marketing, inc., Vale, Ore.
Cattle feeders suffered through another week of heavy losses. Margins improved $7 per head, but losses remain in excess of $187 per animal, according to the Sterling Beef Profit Tracker.
Beef packers had what would be called a bad week, except their near $20 per head margin decline left them with profits of $64 per head, according to Sterling Marketing.
A year ago cattle feeders sold cash cattle at $114.70 per hundredweight, resulting in losses of $243.06 per head. Last year cash hogs fetched $96.65 per hundredweight, resulting in profits of $27.68 per head.
The Sterling Beef and Pork Profit Trackers are calculated using actual weekly prices for both cattle and hogs, feed costs, beef and pork cutout prices, drop credits and other factors that influence profit margins.
The Sterling Beef Profit Tracker for the week ending July 13:
- Average feedyard margins: -$187.36 per head.
- Average packer margins: $64.17 per head.
The Sterling Pork Profit Tracker for the week ending July 12:
- Average farrow-to-finish margins: $19.89 per head.

Anyone has do some testing? Is it easy?Thanks guys
Uhmm.. what's the problem? I believe you should only use appropriate flags in Application.mk, specifically
APP_ABI := x86
and that's all.
For Android — that's all. I am not having trouble targeting x86 for Android, Windows or Mac OS X.
I have run into several issues with NDK bugs, specifically in the Cortex CPU stuff under Android.
Great place to test is under HAX emulator, for Android at least.

A nugget of Gold.
|metallic yellow
| ˈɡoald
|Atomic number (Z)
Gold is a shiny metal that looks good, as its rare gold became valuable and people decided to use it as money. Gold is yellow or orange and a bit like the colour of the Sun, therefore for peoples as different as the ancient Egyptians and the ancient Americans gold represented the sun. The colour of the metal gold is also called gold.
Dirty goldEdit
Groups such as Oxfam are concerned about gold which is mined and processed in irresponsible ways that damage the environment and harm Third World poor people. [1]Mining for precious metals can damage environments, sometimes pristine environments where Endangered species are found. Toxic chemicals used to extract precious metals from ore can be left to poison Human and animal life, the poison, cyanide can be used. Those who want to buy gold, silver or jewellry based on precious metals should research first where the metals come from. [2] In Costa Rica irresponsible industrialists want to dig an opencast mine in a biosphere reserve which would threaten Endangered species from parrots to monkeys. Dirty gold can also effect rich countries, even the United States, there is a problem in Alaska where a proposed mine could pollute Bristol Bay and devastate Inuit salmon fisheries [3] [4][5] [6]

THE Princess Royal said she hopes Hereford's Livestock Market will 'serve the county for years to come' when she officially opened the site today.
Princess Anne, the only daughter of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the market on Roman Road this morning, which opened in 2011 when it moved from its previous location in the city centre.
The Princess Royal also visited the headquarters of West Mercia Women's Aid (WMWA) to learn about their work and that of West Mercia Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre (WMRSASC).
Jan Frances, chief executive of WMWA, said: "We were delighted to welcome HRH The Princess Royal. Her visit offered us an excellent platform to showcase our valuable work with survivors of domestic violence and abuse to an individual who so tirelessly supports charitable ventures.
"We were also pleased that she met some of our service users, who continue to inspire us with their courage and determination every day. We'd like to thank her very much for visiting us and supporting our work."
Jocelyn Anderson, chief officer of WMRSASC, said the visit 'recognised the exceptional work' of the organisations in supporting survivors of rape, sexual abuse and sexual violence
"It takes tremendous courage for survivors to come forward and talk about their experiences and our dedicated team are able to offer support towards healing and recovery," she added.
The Princess Royal also visited the Town Hall to meet Herefordshire Carers Support and Family Drug Support.
During her visit the Princess met staff and Janet Fellows, chair of Herefordshire Carers Support Trustee Board said the visit was 'a tremendous boost'.
Susan Hall, founder and family drug support co-ordinator, said: "The more that can be done to raise awareness and understanding of the suffering of families dealing with a family member's drug or alcohol misuse can only be of great benefit.
"The interest and support shown by the Princess Royal has been a boost to us all."
For more on this story, including pictures of the visit, see tomorrow's Hereford Times.

Reforming Social Security in a Transition Economy: The Case of Lithuania
This paper points out a number of problems associated with the existing pension system in Lithuania. Reforms are proposed, including (i) a substantial increase in the basic pension benefit rate, financed on a pay-as-you-go basis, provided universally, and regulated according to wage/price indexation; (ii) a significant cut in the tax contribution rate to the public pension system matched by a rise in the VAT; (iii) a rise in the retirement age to 65 for both men and women; and (iv) a gradual conversion to a private, funded, mandatory pension system to replace the earnings-related part of the current pension system.

Changes between Version 21 and Version 22 of DynamicByDefault

v21 v22 200 200 It would still be possible to compile programs using the "static way" by giving ghc the `-static` flag, and users would be able to configure `cabal-install` to do so by default if they wish. Then programs would be exactly the same as they are today. However, this would have the drawback that `cabal-install` would need to be configured to install libraries for the static way as well as the dynamic way, so library installation would take twice as long. 201 201 202 203 204 205 202 206 == Questions == 203 207 … … 213 217 8. For platforms using dynamic by default, should Cabal also install static libraries by default? 214 218 215 For 1 and 3, the performance impact appears negligible and some bugs will be fixed, so we would suggest that the answer should be yes. 219 For 1 and 3, the performance impact appears negligible (or perhaps even negative) and some bugs will be fixed, so we would suggest that the answer should be yes. 220 221 For 2 and 4, there would be a considerable performance impact, but there is again a negligible impact if you instead switch to using x86_64. We believe that this would be feasible for the vast majority of users for whom performance is a concern, and it would greatly simplify the code base, so again we would suggest that the answer should be yes. 222 223 For 5 and 6, we will first have to get it working. Windows already uses different code paths quite a lot, so even if we end up deciding not to go dynamic-by-default on Windows, a lot of the ugly, buggy code will be removed. However, there are some known bugs in it on Windows, so we are hopeful that we will be able to do dynamic-by-default here too. 224 225 For 7, this makes the difference between being able to use ghci and not being able to use ghci, and performance is already compromised for unregisterised platforms. Therefore this looks like a definite yes. 226 227 For 8, this is a trade-off between the convenience of always having static libraries available (which may be important for people for whom performance is critical), and doubling the time needed to install extra libraries. On balance, we'd suggest that the answer should be no. If we go for yes, then we'd probably want a little extra intelligence in cabal, which checks that e.g. there is a static version of base installed before trying to install the static way, as development compilers in particular may only be built with the dynamic libraries available.

Frontier Fictions:
In Frontier Fictions, Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet looks at the efforts of Iranians to defend, if not expand, their borders in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and explores how their conceptions of national geography influenced cultural and political change. The "frontier fictions," or the ways in which the Iranians viewed their often fluctuating borders and the conflicts surrounding them, played a dominant role in defining the nation. On these borderlands, new ideas of citizenship and nationality were unleashed, refining older ideas of ethnicity.
Kashani-Sabet maintains that land-based conceptions of countries existed before the advent of the modern nation-state. Her focus on geography enables her to explore and document fully a wide range of aspects of modern citizenship in Iran, including love of homeland, the hegemony of the Persian language, and widespread interest in archaeology, travel, and map-making. While many historians have focused on the concept of the "imagined community" in their explanations of the rise of nationalism, Kashani-Sabet is able to complement this perspective with a very tangible explanation of what connects people to a specific place. Her approach is intended to enrich our understanding not only of Iranian nationalism, but also of nationalism everywhere.
"Thoroughly researched, eloquently written, and objectively presented, Frontier Fictions is a valuable addition to contemporary Iranian historiography."--Choice
"Frontier Fictions is an outstanding work of historical interpretation. . . . A book that lays bare the making of Iranian identity and physical and cultural borders. A work of real subtlety and elegance."--Fouad Ajami, Middle East Studies Program, Johns Hopkins University

Joe Satriani Wants to Get a 'Couple More Records' Out of Chickenfoot
Sammy Hagar has his doubts about the future of Chickenfoot, the hard rock supergroup he fronts alongside bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani and drummer Chad Smith.
Sammy Hagar has his doubts about the future of Chickenfoot, the hard rock supergroup he fronts alongside bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani and drummer Chad Smith.
The soft market for new albums from veteran rock acts may have put an end to one of Sammy Hagar's many projects, but he'll never say never when it comes to reuniting with Van Halen.
Joe Satriani says that a new Chickenfoot record will happen.
Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chickenfoot drummer Chad Smith has finally had enough of someone else cashing in on his fame and good looks -- and he's taking strong action to make it stop.
Members of Chickenfoot, Night Ranger and Mr. Big will appear during a special sold-out benefit concert for Sammy Hagar's drummer, David Lauser, whose wife is battling a deadly form of cancer.
Recording the new Chickenfoot album is on Joe Satriani's calendar. The guitarist has just finished a solo European tour, but he's also been working on new music for the Sammy Hagar-fronted group. 'Chickenfoot III' was released in September 2011.
After a break of a mere 30 years, HSAS are back -- sort of. Sammy Hagar and Journey guitarist Neal Schon have reunited for a few songs on Hagar's upcoming CD, and they recruited Hagar's Chickenfoot rhythm section of Michael Anthony and Chad Smith for the three tracks.
Chickenfoot fans will be able to celebrate the band's entire output with a very special box set early next year. The group have announced the 'I + III + LV' collection, which will encompass both of their first two albums, plus the limited-edition live album they put out.
The last time Michael Anthony was on 'That Metal Show,' his former Van Halen (and current Chickenfoot) bandmate Sammy Hagar didn't feel his friend went into quite enough detail about his departure from one of rock's most famous and successful bands.
Like you, Van Halen's former bassist Michael Anthony heard David Lee Roth's explanation for why the band pulled 30 dates from their current tour schedule. Roth said the group "simply bit off more than we could chew," but Anthony isn't quite so sure.

Be kind to smokers, they already have a short life.
In Belgium Snow (a division of LG&F) launches a national campaign (TV, print, online) against smoking. The campaign is very funny and uses a different approach, depending on the medium. Also banners with different messages are created for online media (depending on the topic of the site they are placed on).
It's a powerfull campaign that focusses on smokers but also on the non-smokers which can become buddies to help people stop smoking.
On the campaign website you can send in tips and tricks for the people in need (smokers).
I am sure this is a campaign that will stick in peoples minds.

Alexander Rossi: "We were able to complete most of the run plan and for me and the team this was good. "
A productive opening day at the Young Driver Test in Silverstone saw American driver Alexander Rossi take the wheel of the Caterham F1 Team CT03.
Despite being unable to put in a performance run towards the end of the day due to a mechanical issue, Alexander ran all the programmes the team asked of him and produced consistent feedback throughout, coming away from the test session with 69 laps under his belt.
"After the installation lap we were straight into the test program, running through a number of test items in both the morning and afternoon sessions. We didn't have any reliability issues until late in the day when we had a hydraulics problem and that unfortunately meant I was unable to log a performance run.
However, the pace on all the test runs was very consistent and good through the whole program, delivering very good data for the team. We were able to complete most of the run plan and for me and the team this was good.
"I was easily able to determine what the pros and cons from the 2012 car. I was comfortable in the car, the controls and the work performed with the engineers. My Caterham F1 Team has good trust in me and I'm very thankful for each opportunity for me to deliver for them.
The energy amongst me and the team is fantastic. This test was confirming to me that I know I'm ready for an F1 race seat."
Alexander Rossi

New shooter/reloader 38spc. Lee Classic Loader
I'm new to the shooting sports, and TFL has been kind enough to share its collective knowledge with me on a number of other issues, and I was hoping that I could get some help here as well.
I guess this is a typical n00b question with the added fun of a Lee Classic Loader kit.
I've got around 200 spent cases of 38 special lying around, and a Lee Classic Loader, and being too poor to continue to feed my gp100 with new factory ammo I figured I'd reload some via the Lee kit.
I've read the For the
New Reloader: Equipment Basics -- READ THIS FIRST
Thread several times, but its talking about using fancier stuff than I have, like a press, and as the Lee kit is the only "experience" I've had reloading I'm left a little confused.
1.)If I follow the instruction exactly as they are given in the Lee Kit, use the proper bullet weight and type, the small pistol primers, the powder given for said bullet type and weight, and the prescribed dipper what are the chances I'll blow my hand off when I cycle this stuff through my Gp100?
2.)What tools in addition to the Lee Classic Loader will I absolutely need? Keeping in mind that I'm poor:
Will I need a set of calipers to make 100% sure that they're in Lees Minimum overall Length? Do I need a good scale to check the weight?
I'm thinking of making the 148 grain wad cutter with the .5 lee dipper using IMR 800x.
4.) My Bing shopping search gave me several different kinds of small pistol primers. Do y'all recommend any particular type or brand?
Again I've had a great experience here at TFL and I'm so appreciative of all the help I've received. Being that this is such a well educated and well mannered forum if there is anything that I should do better, or am not doing please let me know. Its very important to me that I am a member in good standing, and that my name here is worth something, and not a synonym for silliness or rudeness.
Thanks in advance
Hoppes No 9 and spent powder just overtook fresh baked cookies on my list of favorite smells. Don't tell my wife!

So you all know that this weekend has been the big event for Blazing Minds and covering the 2013 SciFi Weekender has been an amazing time spent I'm Pwllheli.
We were working from 10 in the morning right through to the early hours during the event that we went to on Thursday afternoon, in preparation for event to kick off on Friday.
Thursday was for the early birds, with loads of stuff going on throughout the weekend we had decided to go down for the early bird to get to grips with the events areas and schedules for the weekend.
Now as I mentioned earlier we crammed in so much over the days we were in Pwllheli, that I've decided to use the next few days to bring you a collection of articles bringing you some amazing exclusive photos and what was happening at the 4th SciFi Weekender.
What Is The SciFi Weekender
Back for a fourth year in 2013, the The SciFi Weekender (formerly the SFX Weekender) promises the ultimate sci-fi experience. It's a festival of fun and activities for people who love science fiction and fantasy
The SciFi Weekender is packed with activities for fans: big-name guests, interviews, Q&A sessions, movie screenings, comic workshops, videogaming, music, book readings and plenty more. It's all about bringing like-minded people together for a weekend structured around four pillar events: the entertaining Imaginarium cabaret, the sweeping Maskerade party (with awesome DJing from Craig Charles), and the fiendish Blastermind pub quiz.
The SciFi Weekender attendees will get the chance to fully immerse themselves in sci-fi culture. Fans can discover how comics are made, discuss burning issues with their favourite author, or be among the first to see exclusive screenings of films and TV shows. There are also many autograph opportunities: the full line-up will be revealed over the coming months. Above all, though, it's a chance to hang out with like-minded people and enjoy a few drinks in a safe environment with other fans.
So today's post is a little bit of teaser of some of the stuff that we will be bringing you on this colossal event that has moved from Prestatyn to Pwllheli for an event that SciFi fans are mad to miss.
Over the next few days, there will be exclusive shots with the likes of @WhoFrazer, @BrianBlessed, @ChaseMasterson, @ManuIntiraymi and loads more. Even shots and reviews of some of the shows that were put on for the guests.
So part 1 of this exclusive feature will start on Blazing Minds tomorrow, with exclusive shots from my event going partner @RealLeeHoward and believe me they are awesome, I've seen the portrait shots and they are to die for.
Sit tight and subscribe to Blazing Minds so you don't miss out on this collection of articles about the greatest SciFi event in North Wales..

Superstar Mahesh Babu is okay with '1 Nenokkadine' flop as the movie gave him more liberty to showcase his mammoth acting skills. Even some of his fans are contented for their favourite star choosing an experimental film. Though they are not expressing out, many are dissatisfactory with Nenokkadine output and other factors. Mahesh Babu lost charisma in his face and newbie Kriti Sanon botched the opportunity with weak performance at places. Gautam Krishna was not used for movie promotions and makers made a blunder by releasing the movie with lengthy runtime. They even failed to cash on sentiment aspect as they released mother sentiment teaser later after movie arrival. Here are other things disappointed Mahesh Babu fans:
* Complexity in screenplay
* Boring narration
* Lack of entertainment
* Entire movie appeared dull with special light effects used to preserve seriousness
