For a long ttme we did not suppon it , on the ground that civil unions would adequately protect the rights of gay couples. We changed our view when we saw so many of those couples living together in loving loyalty - and practicing the values that critics · of gay righls ·say they are protecting.

Joining that majority does not turn Warren into Satan. In a recent interview with Beliefnet.com, the pastor softened his stance, saying there's "no doubt" that divorce is a bigger threat to the American family than gay, marriage. He s1rongly endorsed "full equal rights for everybody" and said "pannership benelits" for gay couples are "not a problem with me."

OPlNION Obituaries Sunday, December 28, 200$.' The magic of this country In 2006. the evangelical pastor Rick Warren invited Barack Obama to address a conference on HIV/AIDS Cokie at his church in Southern and California . Conservative Steven ' Christians were outraged, Roberts because Obama - a freshman senator contemplating a run for president favored abonion rights . A group of 18 pro-life case of equal-op)Jorti.Jnity activists signed a letter intolerance . The conservadeclaring. "If Senator tives who criticized Warren Obama cannot defend the for inviting Obama were most helpless citizens in dead wrong.

For a long ttme we did not suppon it , on the ground that civil unions would adequately protect the rights of gay couples. We changed our view when we saw so many of those couples living together in loving loyalty - and practicing the values that critics · of gay righls ·say they are protecting. But Obama himself does ·not endorse same-sex marriage. And the voters of California, one of the nation's most progressive states, rejected the concept last fall. Joining that majority does not turn Warren into Satan. In a recent interview with Beliefnet.com, the pastor softened his stance, saying there's "no doubt" that divorce is a bigger threat to the American family than gay, marriage. He s1rongly endorsed "full equal rights for everybody" and said "pannership benelits" for gay couples are "not a problem with me."

' Johnson, a 21-year big league . veteran who ·spent the past two seaso'ns with lhe Arizona Diamondbacks, was born in Walnut Creek. .Calif., about 30 minutes from the Giants' waterfront ballpark. He grew up in nearby Livermore. The five-time Cy Young Award winner has 295 victories after going Il-l 0 with a 3.91 ERA in 30 starts last season.

The Giants offered sever-· al things on Jqhnson 's wish list: spring training in the Phoenix area, and a chance to stay on the We ~ t Coast and in the NL West so he can pitch near his current home in Arizona .

' . The Ohio River boat access opened at long last with little fanfare on December 12 . Indeed, the only sign that the ramp was finally open was that the gate leading to the parking lot off State Route 124 was unlocked and open. A formal dedication will be held rater. Now that the ramp is open. it will undoubtedly be popular with local anglers or others using the Ohio River for boating and fishing. It's a project that has been nearly 10 years in the making with a pri~e tag of $2 million and rising. Like the bridge, it was comp leted late and over budget. One· of the holdups in the project involved the discovery at the site of American Indian artifacts namely earth ovens and hearths . Construction was put on hold pending a detailed archaeological survey and remediation of the archaeological sights (one wonders if peopJe in the future will be requi~ed to give as much consideration to our artifacts probably not). Also, according to the Ohio Department of Natural .Resources, the . project was plagued due to high water. .At first impression, the facility is impressive with . a huge parking lot with room for 73 trailers and pickup trucks, automobile and handicapped parking and ramps.

"This might be a depressed area, but people make use of the money they have by being very knowledgeable about the products they buy." The DNR 's Taylor believes hardworking West Virginians will alway s need some form of recreation. "Hunting and fishing are some of the cheapest activities you can engage in ," he said. "For what it would take to travel to one West Virginia University football game, a fellow can hunt for practically a whole year.

The facility is also well-lit. · ,· · The lines on the parking lot will be painted this upcoming spring. It has been evident for many years that the old launch ramp at Racine was inadequate with little more than a gravel bar with a one-way access lane and narrow concrete ramp. Theoret,ically the old ramp may find new life - it would be ideal for launch ing canoes or kayaks .or other small watercraft. The new ramp will be open 24/7 except during periods of high water.

' . The Ohio River boat access opened at long last with little fanfare on December 12 . Indeed, the only sign that the ramp was finally open was that the gate leading to the parking lot off State Route 124 was unlocked and open. A formal dedication will be held rater. Now that the ramp is open. it will undoubtedly be popular with local anglers or others using the Ohio River for boating and fishing. It's a project that has been nearly 10 years in the making with a pri~e tag of $2 million and rising. Like the bridge, it was comp leted late and over budget. One· of the holdups in the project involved the discovery at the site of American Indian artifacts namely earth ovens and hearths . Construction was put on hold pending a detailed archaeological survey and remediation of the archaeological sights (one wonders if peopJe in the future will be requi~ed to give as much consideration to our artifacts probably not).

Avoiding the painkilleroveruse rut in nligraines BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP MEDICAL WAITER WASHINGTON Those pain pills you think help your migraines') Take too many and you could make them worse. Overusing painkillers can spin migraine patients into a rut.· spurring more headaches that in turn require more pain medication . A very unlucky fraction even get what's called chronic migraine. where they're in pain more days than not. and new research suggests certain prescription painkillers. including narcotics, increase that risk. Don't misunderstand : Treating migraines, properly. is important. The bigger message is to try migraineprevenling medicines if the tenacious headaches strike regularly - so that you don't fall into the painkiller rut like Rena Cerbone did . " It was a double-edged sword ," Cerbone . 41, of Montclair, N.J .. says of a period when only one pain reliever dulled her migraines and then invariably triggertld rebou.nd headaches a day or so later. "I was taking Fiorinal on a daily basis just to function." The caution is timely, as the estimated JO million Americans who suffer migraines - migraineurs. they 're called - often find the holiday season a time of increased pain. Lack of sleep. tempting treats and the stress of'travel are common triggers. The head throbs. usually on one side , anywhere from · a few hours to three days. Nausea and sensitivity to light ·and sound are common . Moving makes it worse. Some peopl e can sense them coming with visual disturbances like seeing pinpoints of light. although lacking that class ic "aura" doesn 't mean you don't have a migraine. Fortunately for most patients , migraines are every-so-often mi seri es. Studies suggest that aboul a third of migraine sufferer' have them often enough to be candidates for prevention medications that can cut the frequency in half. Yet onl y about 10 percent use them . And depending on acute painkillers more than a few· days a week can signal overuse. "Most people outside the specialty community are not aware., of the concept ," said Dr. Stephen Silberstein of Thomas Jeffe rson University, a spokesman for the Ameri~an Academy of Neurology. ''I think there's an epidemic in the U.S. of patient s having frequent headaches, taking their pain pills over and over' again ," and winding up in more pain . . Oven1sing any pain medication, over-the-counter or prescription , can cause a rebounu headuche once it's stopped. ' But occasionally in frequent migraine . sufferers, the brain gradually becomes more sensitive to pain so they worsen even more. When they're having pain a stunning 15 or more days a month, it's called chronic migraine or "transformed migraine." No one knows exactly how many people get that bad , although migraine specialist Dr. Richard Lipton of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine says some esti mates suggest there could be as many as 5 mi Ilion. ;'Chronic migraine is a condition we should be trying to prevent .'' says Lipton, who a) so heads New York 's Montefiore Headache Center and studied \vhether particular medicines are linked to this worst-case pain. The studv tracked 8,200 · episodic . migraine sufferers for a year, and found 2.5 percent worsened to a state of chronic migraine . Those who took two classes of prescription medications drugs containing narcotic s, such as Percocet, or drugs containing harbiturates , such as Fiorinal ~ were most likely to worsen, Lipton .and colleagues reported in the journal Headache . Ri sk increased with higher doses. Ove r-the -counter standbys, from plain acetaminophen 'to the anti inflammatorics called ibuprofen , NSAIDS napro xen and their cou sins - weren't li11ked to chronic mi graine. The NSAIDS even showed a hint of proted ion . Mi graine-specific painkillers called triptan s likewise showed no risk at low to moderate use , becoming a risk factor only after I0 pai.n days a month . Some patients wi II need the stronger narcotic > or barbiturates, especially for severe uttac k.s, Lipton ac knowl edges. But , "the reality is they' re overused" in mi graines, he says, advising that patients who truly need them limit weekly dose, .

The number of paint shaucs available on the color wheel is enough to make any homeowner's head spin . To get your bearings , remember. as a rule. darker colors look best in the biggest rooms with the most 'light. whereas lighter.colors . can brighten up a small, dark space Iikc a nmtow hallway or half bathroom . Maybe red is your color. Or blue. If you're decision averse. choose only one color you like and use a little of it, painted in different shades or techniques. through the entire house . The key is to think of your house in its entirety and not just each room by itself, advises Sara Ruffin Costello, creative director at Domino magazine and co-author of "Domino: The Book of Decorating ," says it's important - · . "Otherwise it's like you· have these abrupt starts and stops · from room to room," she says . "Direct the whole play, not~ust one scene." If you re using just one color, try it on an accent wall in one room. Take it irito the kitchen on the backsplash. In another room , the entire ' room is painted that color. While it's the same color, it will look different in different spares, Costello says, because of the lighting and architecture . This works especially well in smaller houses or apartment' where one color might become ove1whelming. Or branch out and incorponite all the shades of one color on the paint swatch. For example. use the darkest blue in a more formal room like a dining room or living room that receives plenty of light. The medium blue, which may seem brighter; might work in a family room or kitchen where it's 'always bustling with activity. The lightest shade , say a powder blue which feels soothing, could fit well in a master bedroom or bathroom . Try a Iitt le spice and add stripes of blue in the kitchen, a glazing finish in the dining room .and textured walls in the bedroom , all in different shades of the same color. Take the entire project.one step further and get inspiration from a favorite rug in the ·foyer, an original piece of a11work in the living room or a unique wallpaper in the dining room. Carry the col~ ors from your in spiration throughout the house . Remember: the colors don 'I · have to be an exact match. If you want to be a trendsetter, go for dark, rich, jewel-toned colors, a backlash against the pale , neutral colors of the last decade, Costello says . Soak in eggplant, green oregano, scarlet red or Moroccan blue. Want to really stand out? Try black. , "Instead of bein~ the color of Halloween, wh1ch is a bit spooky and evil, a black wall is sophisticated and calming," Costello says. "It translates into simple elegance." If black or any dark color is too much, try painting just the trim , ceiling or doors. To test any color in a room, p'aint a large enough square, like three feet by three feet, on one of the walls. See how it looks against the furniture. Watch it during the day to see how the lighting changes the color. What does it look like in the morning, in mid-afternoon, at night' against lamplig)lt? Try a ~hade lighter and darker to compare. • One tip to keep in mind: Make sure all · the ,colors you use have all warm or Let Me Show You How To Increase The Size Of Your Retirement Account By I 0 % J"h I~ "'lt••tlfl \11 t , tlllp<~lr' tIll 'ltlllf•~0\1 L;~ loll f 111 I -S ...

Avoiding the painkilleroveruse rut in nligraines BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP MEDICAL WAITER WASHINGTON Those pain pills you think help your migraines') Take too many and you could make them worse. Overusing painkillers can spin migraine patients into a rut.· spurring more headaches that in turn require more pain medication . A very unlucky fraction even get what's called chronic migraine. where they're in pain more days than not. and new research suggests certain prescription painkillers. including narcotics, increase that risk. Don't misunderstand : Treating migraines, properly. is important. The bigger message is to try migraineprevenling medicines if the tenacious headaches strike regularly - so that you don't fall into the painkiller rut like Rena Cerbone did . " It was a double-edged sword ," Cerbone . 41, of Montclair, N.J .. says of a period when only one pain reliever dulled her migraines and then invariably triggertld rebou.nd headaches a day or so later. "I was taking Fiorinal on a daily basis just to function." The caution is timely, as the estimated JO million Americans who suffer migraines - migraineurs. they 're called - often find the holiday season a time of increased pain. Lack of sleep. tempting treats and the stress of'travel are common triggers. The head throbs. usually on one side , anywhere from · a few hours to three days. Nausea and sensitivity to light ·and sound are common . Moving makes it worse. Some peopl e can sense them coming with visual disturbances like seeing pinpoints of light. although lacking that class ic "aura" doesn 't mean you don't have a migraine. Fortunately for most patients , migraines are every-so-often mi seri es. Studies suggest that aboul a third of migraine sufferer' have them often enough to be candidates for prevention medications that can cut the frequency in half. Yet onl y about 10 percent use them . And depending on acute painkillers more than a few· days a week can signal overuse. "Most people outside the specialty community are not aware., of the concept ," said Dr. Stephen Silberstein of Thomas Jeffe rson University, a spokesman for the Ameri~an Academy of Neurology. ''I think there's an epidemic in the U.S. of patient s having frequent headaches, taking their pain pills over and over' again ," and winding up in more pain . . Oven1sing any pain medication, over-the-counter or prescription , can cause a rebounu headuche once it's stopped. ' But occasionally in frequent migraine . sufferers, the brain gradually becomes more sensitive to pain so they worsen even more. When they're having pain a stunning 15 or more days a month, it's called chronic migraine or "transformed migraine." No one knows exactly how many people get that bad , although migraine specialist Dr. Richard Lipton of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine says some esti mates suggest there could be as many as 5 mi Ilion. ;'Chronic migraine is a condition we should be trying to prevent .'' says Lipton, who a) so heads New York 's Montefiore Headache Center and studied \vhether particular medicines are linked to this worst-case pain. The studv tracked 8,200 · episodic . migraine sufferers for a year, and found 2.5 percent worsened to a state of chronic migraine . Those who took two classes of prescription medications drugs containing narcotic s, such as Percocet, or drugs containing harbiturates , such as Fiorinal ~ were most likely to worsen, Lipton .and colleagues reported in the journal Headache . Ri sk increased with higher doses. Ove r-the -counter standbys, from plain acetaminophen 'to the anti inflammatorics called ibuprofen , NSAIDS napro xen and their cou sins - weren't li11ked to chronic mi graine. The NSAIDS even showed a hint of proted ion . Mi graine-specific painkillers called triptan s likewise showed no risk at low to moderate use , becoming a risk factor only after I0 pai.n days a month . Some patients wi II need the stronger narcotic > or barbiturates, especially for severe uttac k.s, Lipton ac knowl edges. But , "the reality is they' re overused" in mi graines, he says, advising that patients who truly need them limit weekly dose, .

The number of paint shaucs available on the color wheel is enough to make any homeowner's head spin . To get your bearings , remember. as a rule. darker colors look best in the biggest rooms with the most 'light. whereas lighter.colors . can brighten up a small, dark space Iikc a nmtow hallway or half bathroom . Maybe red is your color. Or blue. If you're decision averse. choose only one color you like and use a little of it, painted in different shades or techniques. through the entire house . The key is to think of your house in its entirety and not just each room by itself, advises Sara Ruffin Costello, creative director at Domino magazine and co-author of "Domino: The Book of Decorating ," says it's important - · . "Otherwise it's like you· have these abrupt starts and stops · from room to room," she says . "Direct the whole play, not~ust one scene." If you re using just one color, try it on an accent wall in one room. Take it irito the kitchen on the backsplash. In another room , the entire ' room is painted that color. While it's the same color, it will look different in different spares, Costello says, because of the lighting and architecture . This works especially well in smaller houses or apartment' where one color might become ove1whelming. Or branch out and incorponite all the shades of one color on the paint swatch. For example. use the darkest blue in a more formal room like a dining room or living room that receives plenty of light. The medium blue, which may seem brighter; might work in a family room or kitchen where it's 'always bustling with activity. The lightest shade , say a powder blue which feels soothing, could fit well in a master bedroom or bathroom . Try a Iitt le spice and add stripes of blue in the kitchen, a glazing finish in the dining room .and textured walls in the bedroom , all in different shades of the same color. Take the entire project.one step further and get inspiration from a favorite rug in the ·foyer, an original piece of a11work in the living room or a unique wallpaper in the dining room. Carry the col~ ors from your in spiration throughout the house . Remember: the colors don 'I · have to be an exact match. If you want to be a trendsetter, go for dark, rich, jewel-toned colors, a backlash against the pale , neutral colors of the last decade, Costello says . Soak in eggplant, green oregano, scarlet red or Moroccan blue. Want to really stand out? Try black. , "Instead of bein~ the color of Halloween, wh1ch is a bit spooky and evil, a black wall is sophisticated and calming," Costello says. "It translates into simple elegance." If black or any dark color is too much, try painting just the trim , ceiling or doors. To test any color in a room, p'aint a large enough square, like three feet by three feet, on one of the walls. See how it looks against the furniture. Watch it during the day to see how the lighting changes the color. What does it look like in the morning, in mid-afternoon, at night' against lamplig)lt? Try a ~hade lighter and darker to compare. • One tip to keep in mind: Make sure all · the ,colors you use have all warm or Let Me Show You How To Increase The Size Of Your Retirement Account By I 0 % J"h I~ "'lt••tlfl \11 t , tlllp<~lr' tIll 'ltlllf•~0\1 L;~ loll f 111 I -S ...
