Tindall signs one year player-coach Gloucester deal

Article Published: Thursday 28 June 2012
England Rugby World Cup winner in 2003 Mike Tindall has agreed a new one year contract with Aviva Premiership Rugby club Gloucester.
The new one year deal will see England's 2011 World Cup 'bad boy' become a player/coach at the south-west side.
The 33-year-old has been at Kingsholm for the past seven seasons and recently-appointed Gloucester director of rugby Nigel Davies said Tuesday,"Mike has a lot of valuable experience and great loyalty to Gloucester Rugby and its supporters and understands what it means to be a part of this club.
"He will be operating as player and backs coach for me in the coming year. I think he has a very strong tradition and heritage with the club and a very good rugby brain.
"I think it's very important to have a certain amount of continuity at any club with your senior players and I see Mike providing that continuity," added Davies, previously in charge of Welsh giants Llanelli.
Tindall, a World Cup winner in 2003, won the last of his 75 caps during England's controversial World Cup campaign in New Zealand last year, where he captained the side early in the tournament while Lewis Moody was injured.
Midfielder Tindall was the most senior player involved in a series of drunken antics during a squad night out in the resort town of Queenstown.
Leaked security footage showed Tindall, recently married to Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter Zara Phillips, being kissed on the head by a woman in a bar.

Prostate Cancer and Genetics | mCancer Talk: Coping and living ...
One in six men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. Age and race are two of the most recognized risk factors, but some risk factors can be inherited. Large scale population studies of men who have brothers or fathers with prostate cancer have shown an increase in risk that is two to three times the general population.
Some clues to inherited risk within a family include:
- Cancer diagnosed at earlier ages than typically expected (under 40)
- Families with multiple individuals with prostate cancer
- Other cancers in family members including:
- Breast cancer
- Ovarian or uterine cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Colorectal cancer
People concerned about their families? history of prostate and other cancer may benefit from meeting with a genetic counselor in the Cancer Genetics Clinic to talk about cancer risk, possible genetic testing, screening options or research opportunities. Families who find that they are at a higher risk for prostate cancer and other cancers can benefit from increased screening and prevention options.
Approximately 5-10% of prostate cancers are thought to be related to high risk susceptibility genes, which can be passed from parent to child. Some genes are currently well known, while it is likely some still remain to be discovered. Some of these genes may also be linked to an increase in risk for additional cancers.
Research is ongoing at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center and elsewhere to learn and discover new genes associated with a strong family history of prostate cancer.

Is obesity a disease? Doctors disagree | Health and Fitness
By Rachael Rettner
MyHealthNewsDaily
Obesity puts people at risk for a whole host of conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep problems. But is obesity itself a disease?
Doctors are divided on the issue. Some say obesity is indeed a disease, with causes beyond eating too much and exercising too little, and consequences that harm the body like any medical condition. In addition, they say referring to obesity as a disease would improve care for patients, and ensure treatments are covered by insurance plans.
Others argue obesity is a risk factor for health problems, but not a disease itself. They say calling obesity a disease would stigmatize a huge population, and categorize some people as ?sick? who actually may be healthy.
?If we call obesity a disease, it would mean automatically, a third of Americans are in a diseased state or sick,? said Dr. Pieter Cohen, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a general internist at Cambridge Health Alliance, referring to the fact that about 35 percent of Americans are obese. ?That?s absurd,? Cohen said.
Last week, the American Medical Association (AMA) took up the question of whether to classify obesity as a disease at a meeting, and decided more research was needed on the topic, deferring the decision to a later date.
?You could make a case for calling it a disease, but right now we?re not there,? Dr. William Werner, president of the Illinois State Medical Society, said of the decision.
However, experts agree that obesity is a critical public health problem, and the medical system needs to change to better manage obese people.
Why some say obesity is a disease
A disease is generally thought of as an abnormal state, or a condition that prevents the body from functioning properly.
During the AMA meeting, doctors pointed out that in some cases, people have underlying abnormalities that cause them to be obese, said Dr. Thomas Madejski, chair of the AMA?s committee on medical service, and an internist in Albion, N.Y. For instance, a person?s genetic makeup or metabolism could make her body expend fewer calories than other people?s bodies, Madejski said.
And once people gain weight, the extra pounds can lead to metabolic and hormonal problems that increase the risk of diseases, said Dr. Scott Kahan, a preventive medicine physician at Johns Hopkins University.
Just as diabetes results from a malfunction of the body?s ability to regulate of blood sugar, obesity results from a malfunction of the ability to regulate energy balance, Kahan said.
?It satisfies all the definitions and criteria of what a disease and medical condition is,? Kahan told MyHealthNewsDaily. ?The one difference is that people who have obesity have to wear their disease on the outside,? Kahan said.
There is also concern some insurance companies do not cover obesity treatments, such as weight-loss medications or management programs, because obesity is not considered a disease. The AMA wants to learn more about why this problem happens, and how prevalent it is, Madejski said.
Only a risk factor
Others say that, while obesity is a risk factor for many medical conditions, carrying extra pounds does not destine people to develop those diseases. In fact, some people can be obese and healthy, and live a normal life, Cohen said.
?There?s no question that [obesity] is one of the most important public health problems facing America. It?s just labeling it as a disease is not going to move us in a positive direction,? Cohen said.
Others agreed.
?We did not want to make society more ill overall,? by labeling obesity as a disease if that label is not warranted, Madejski said.
Obese people may also be stigmatized, or may suffer psychological consequences if they are labeled as having a disease, Madejski said.
However, Kahan said referring to obesity as a disease may actually remove some of its stigma, because it could highlight the fact that obesity is not necessarily caused by a lack of willpower.
Improving care
Regardless of whether obesity is referred to as a disease, the care of obese patients needs improvement, experts said.
For instance, medical schools should change the way they teach students so they are better able to treat obese patients, Kahan said.
?When people get care, they get a lot of finger-wagging,? and advice to ?eat this, not that,? Kahan said. But obesity is a much more complex problem, Kahan said.
Obese patients should also be able to visit doctors who specialize in the condition.
?If you have diabetes or any other medical disorder ? you would be treated by people with appropriate background to help you,? Kahan said.

Saturn moon Titan may harbor ocean below surface

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Scientists reported Thursday on the strongest sign yet that Saturn's giant moon may have a salty ocean beneath its chilly surface.
If confirmed, it would catapult Titan into an elite class of solar system moons harboring water, an essential ingredient for life.
Titan boasts methane-filled seas at the poles and a possible lake near the equator. And it's long been speculated that Titan contains a hidden liquid layer, based on mathematical modeling and electric field measurements made by the Huygens spacecraft that landed on the surface in 2005.
The latest evidence is still indirect, but outside scientists said it's probably the best that can be obtained short of sending a spacecraft to drill into the surface ? a costly endeavor that won't happen anytime soon.
The research looks convincing, said Gabriel Tobie of France's University of Nantes.
"If the analysis is correct, this is a very important finding," Tobie said in an email.
The finding by an international team of researchers was released online Thursday by the journal Science. The scientists pored over data from the orbiting Cassini spacecraft, which flew by Titan half a dozen times between 2006 and last year and took gravity measurements for a glimpse of its interior.
They found Titan got squeezed and stretched depending on its orbit around Saturn, suggesting the presence of a buried ocean. If Titan were solid rock and ice, such deformations would not occur.
"Titan is quite squishy," noted Jonathan Lunine of Cornell University, who was part of the research team.
Scientists did not delve into the characteristics of the ocean, but previous estimates suggested it could be 30 miles to 62 miles deep and contain traces of ammonia. Titan is one of the few worlds in the solar system with a significant atmosphere, and the presence of an underground ocean could help explain how Titan replenishes methane in its hazy atmosphere.
Having an internal body of water would also make Titan an attractive place to study whether it would be capable of supporting microbial life. Other moons on the shortlist: Jupiter's Europa, where an underground ocean is thought to exist and another Saturn moon, Enceladus, where jets have been seen spewing from the surface.
"Any environment that has liquid water needs to be investigated carefully," said planetary scientist Jean-Luc Margot of the University of California, Los Angeles, who had no role in the research.

GOP convention delegation set
Two local residents were among those elected last month to join the West Virginia delegation at the 2012 Republican National Convention, set for Aug. 27-30 in Tampa, Fla.
Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie and Brian Long of Glen Dale - a former chairman of the Marshall County Republican Party - were among 19 delegates selected statewide in the May 8 election as "at large" delegates to the national convention.
In total, West Virginia will have 31 delegates at the convention, according to Chad Holland, executive director of the West Virginia Republican Party.
"It should be an excellent time," he noted. "The delegates should enjoy their time and enjoy the importance of nominating Mitt Romney to defeat Barack Obama. Unlike the Democrats, we won't have Republicans doing all they can to avoid saying who they support for president."
Holland made reference to last week's decision by U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-Beckley, as well as Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin not to attend the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., in September.
On the Republican side, sitting members of Congress are not considered "super delegates" who get automatic spots in their state's delegation, Holland continued. But he said he does expect U.S. Reps. Shelley Moore Capito, R-Charleston, and David B. McKinley, R-Wheeling, to attend the convention.
McKinley "doesn't know at this point" whether he will be present, said Jim Forbes, spokesman for McKinley. Capito spokeswoman Jamie Corley said Capito does plan to attend the convention.
Five of the 19 "at large" delegates elected on May 8 come from Kanawha County, and three from Monongalia County.
Gubernatorial candidate Bill Maloney of Monongalia County was the top vote-getter in the race, followed by former Secretary of State Betty Ireland of Kanawha County and state Sen. Donna Boley of Pleasants County.
Others selected, in the order of their finish, include Bob Ashley of Roane County, Michael D. Greer of Harrison County, Rachel Amrine of Marion County, Rick Barnett of Kanawha County, Daniel C. Amrine of Marion County, Mark W. Browning of Kanawha County, Bonnie Hersman of Lewis County, Jerry May of Berkeley County, McKenzie of Ohio County, Bill Phillips of Randolph County, Todd Gunter of Kanawha County, Tom O'Neill of Upshur County, Long of Marshall County, Cindy Frich of of Monongalia County, James C. Kline III of Kanawha County and Kris Warner of Monongalia County.
Another nine delegates - three from each of West Virginia's three congressional districts - also were elected on May 8. Elected in the 1st District were Del. Tom Azinger of Wood County, Robert "Bob" Harman of Mineral County and Frank Deem of Wood County.
Selected in the 2nd District were Charlotte Lane of Kanawha County, state Sen. Mike Hall of Putnam County and Chris Dodrill of Kanawha County.
In the 3rd District, winners were Rick Snuffer of Raleigh County, Marty Gearhart of Mercer County and recently selected state GOP chairman Conrad G. Lucas II of Cabell County.
As chairman, Lucas already is guaranteed a delegate spot, and the party's bylaws allowed him to select an alternate from the 3rd District for the delegation, according to Holland.
Lucas chose the man who finished fourth in the 3rd District race, David Richard Tyson of Cabell County.
Also having guaranteed spots in the delegation are state GOP committeewoman Donna Gosney of Boone County and committeeman Jim Reed of Kanawha County.

Lords of the Rings: Oldest Tree Species on EarthTrees are among the oldest living organisms on the planet. Some individual trees have lived for several thousand years, and connected groves of trees can sometimes live for tens of thousands of years. Living that long requires a combination of steady climate, solitude, luck and of course, genetics. Some tree species consistently outlive the others. Based on tree rings (which form at the rate of one per year), these are the longest-lived tree species.

Nokia's 808 PureView will not be sold by major UK carriers, time to save up some pounds
If you Brits were looking forward to utilizing the 808 PureView's 41-megapixel sensor while sipping Pimm's this summer, well, be prepared to pay a hefty price. We've heard from O2, Three and Everything Everywhere (the parent company of Orange UK and T-Mobile UK) that they will not be selling said Nokia device in the UK, and Virgin Media told us it isn't in the pipeline "just yet." Our friends over at Wired UK have also heard the same bad news from Vodafone and O2, with a source close to the latter laying the blame on Nokia's "outdated" Symbian Belle system. Ouch. So yes, this means all the major carriers in Her Majesty's backyard are out of the game; but until we hear back from Carphone Warehouse, there may still be a small chance for keen British mobile photogs to dodge the full £500 ($780) price tag on Amazon (in comparison to $699 on the US site), so stay tuned.

It's not just how many calories, but what kind, study finds
A calorie is a calorie is a calorie ? or is it?
Maybe not, a small study has found. Once the pounds are shed, the proportions of carbohydrates, proteins and fats you chow down on may determine whether you keep the weight off ? or slowly but surely pack on pounds again.
In an intensive, seven-month experiment during which 21 overweight men and women had their diets strictly controlled down to each last morsel, researchers showed that a traditional low-fat diet seemed to make the metabolism more sluggish than a high-protein one during the most difficult part of weight loss: keeping fat off once it's shed.
The preliminary work, which was published Tuesday in the Journal of theAmerican Medical Assn., provides support for a growing group of scientists who argue that what people eat may be just as key as how much they eat.
In a nutshell, "from a metabolic perspective, all calories are not alike," said study senior author Dr. David Ludwig, director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Children's Hospital Boston. "The quality of the calories going in affects the quantity of the calories going out."
Maintaining weight loss is a challenge that stymies the vast majority of dieters. Only 1 in 6 overweight and obese adults say they have ever held onto a loss of 10% body weight or greater for even a year, the team noted in its report.
Scientists knew that weight loss was accompanied by a slowdown in the body's metabolism. To test whether different foods might influence that, Ludwig and his colleagues recruited overweight and obese adults ages 18 to 40. From 2006 to 2010, they marched the volunteers through several controlled feeding studies.
The 13 men and eight women followed a 12-week weight-loss regimen that helped them shed 10% to 15% of their body weight followed by a four-week weight-stabilization phase.
After that, each subject was fed three different diets for four weeks at a time: a traditional low-fat diet (60% carbohydrates, 20% fat and 20% protein), a low glycemic index diet (with 40% carbs, 40% fat and 20% protein) and a very low-carbohydrate diet a la Atkins (with 10% carbohydrates, 60% fat and 30% protein).
At the beginning of the study and at the end of each four-week stint, the subjects were hospitalized for three days to undergo a battery of tests. Scientists measured their resting energy expenditure using indirect calorimetry, which assesses gases in the breath to calculate calories burned.
They also looked at all the energy burned by the subject in a day using stable isotope analysis, which examines how rapidly isotopes leave the body over days and weeks.
The researchers also screened participants' blood and urine to record insulin sensitivity and levels of cholesterol, key hormones and other substances that are linked to a risk for heart disease or metabolic problems.
For all three diets, the rate of calories burned at rest was lower than before weight loss. But over the course of a day, the subjects burned more than 300 additional calories on average when on the verylow-carbohydrate dietcompared with the low-fat diet.
"That's roughly equal to an hour of moderate physical activity ? without lifting a finger," Ludwig said.
Subjects burned 200 additional calories on the low glycemic index diet than on the low-fat diet. A low glycemic index diet is rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables and is designed to prevent sharp spikes in blood sugar.
Weight-loss experts not involved in the research praised it, while acknowledging its limitations.
"It's a small study, so I'd want to see it repeated. But I have no reason to doubt the result," said Susan Roberts, a professor of nutrition and psychiatry at Tufts University in Boston.
However, University of Minnesota nutrition professor Joanne Slavin said that though the calorie-burning differences could work to people's advantage, she worried that dieters would flock to low-carb diets that might be unhealthful.
"The Atkins-type diet [in this study] only had 11 grams of fiber in it," she noted. The recommended daily allowance for fiber in adults is at least twice that.
Ludwig also didn't recommend a very low-carb diet even though it offered the best metabolic edge. Some measurements suggested it could be risky for the heart, he said.
Blood samples drawn from participants in the low-carb diet phase contained elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol as well as C-reactive protein, which signals chronic inflammation in the body and has been linked to cardiovascular disease.
The low-glycemic diet ? which he has recommended for a long time ? did not seem to have these problems, he said, making it the best bet.
But Roberts discounted the significance of the blood tests.
"I don't make anything huge of it," she said. "You need many more subjects to make that significant."

Israel and Russia: Trade and restive Arab world outweigh differences on Iran
Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Israel today for a two-day visit that publicly emphasizes the dramatic reconciliation and galloping economic cooperation between Moscow and Jerusalem. In private, it likely featured some harsh words between Mr. Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Kremlin's political support for Syria and Iran.
Experts say that the geopolitical differences between Russia and Israel are not as deep as many people believe. With the exception of sharp disagreement over what to do about Iran's alleged drive for nuclear weapons, differences are greatly overshadowed by a growing array of commonalities.
Topping that list is a shared sense that Russia and Israel alone fully understand the menace of Islamist extremism. Israel believes it confronts extremism on a daily basis, and Putin sees it as a serious threat to Russia's territorial integrity emanating from the restive northern Caucasus region, whose population is mainly Sunni Muslim. Both feel increasingly isolated in the Middle East, with Egypt's new Muslim Brotherhood president hinting that he might revise his country's treaty with Israel, and Russia facing unprecedented hostility from Turkey and the Arab world over its continued support of Syria's strongman Bashar al-Assad.
QUIZ ? Vladimir Putin 101: How much do you know about Russia's president?
"The worse Russia's relations with the Arab world, the better they will be with Israel," says Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of Russia in Global Affairs, a leading Moscow-based foreign policy journal.
"Russia now finds itself at odds with almost all the Arab countries over Syria, and this could be a long-term trend. Syria is the last Russian client state inherited from the Soviet Union, and it's probably not going to last. New rulers will be far more mistrustful of Russia, and if they are Islamists the feelings will be mutual. At least when they're talking about the threat of radical Islam, Putin will feel mentally very close with Netanyahu," he says.
TOURISM, TRADE BOOST RELATIONSHIP
Putin's first stop after arriving in Israel today was the dedication of a monument to Soviet Red Army forces killed in World War II in Netanya. Putin told a crowd of about 600 people that the double-winged white dove erected by Israel "symbolizes the triumph of good and peace. May these values always serve as the basis for friendship between our nations."
Since the collapse of the USSR, the Russian narrative about World War II ? that the Red Army liberated eastern Europe from Naziism ? has been painfully challenged by many former allies whose new version of history sees the arrival of Soviet forces as the beginning of a new occupation.
"Israel is one of the few countries in the world that fully backs the Russian view on World War II, so for Putin the symbolism here is very important," says Dmitry Maryasis, an expert with the Israeli Studies Department of the official Institute of Oriental Studies in Moscow. "The role of the Red Army in liberating Europe is not often celebrated these days, so Russians will receive this signal very warmly."
During the cold war, the USSR supported rejectionist Arab states and the Palestinians against Israel, a position that had ideological roots in the competition between Zionism and Communism in 20th century Europe. But the ideological dimension disappeared with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the emigration of more than 1 million Russian speakers to Israel in the 1990s, even before Russia's ties with authoritarian Arab states were moderated by improving economic and political ties with Israel and the West.
"Everything has changed since the end of the USSR, and the relationship with Israel is totally transformed," says Yevgeny Satanovsky, president of the independent Institute for Middle Eastern Studies in Moscow. "In Israel, one in seven citizens is Russian-speaking. There are now many prominent Russian-speakers, even at high levels of power, who have feelings of closeness toward Russia. In Moscow, there is no more official anti-Semitism and leaders are pragmatic. In some ways, such as the attitude toward the threat from radical Islamism, we are even closer in our views than Israel is with the US."
Trade has burgeoned; Israeli exports to Russia grew almost fourfold between 2003 and 2008, reaching $3 billion. That may not sound like much, but the areas of economic cooperation under consideration include nanotechnology, energy, and joint military projects, including the production of unmanned drone warplanes. Russia's natural gas monopoly Gazprom is eyeing offshore gas deposits in Israel, while the state-owned Russian Railroads is hoping to participate in a new Tel Aviv-Eilat high speed rail link.
SUPPORTING THE 'DEVIL THEY KNOW'
Putin later met with Netanyahu for a full discussion about Syria and Iran that both leaders characterized as detailed and friendly. Experts say that on Syria, at least, the two sides may not be all that far apart.
"Israel supports the Western position that Assad must go, while Russia has been backing Assad," says Mr. Maryasis. "But they're probably much closer than you would think. Israel is not keen to see a big mess break out on its border with Syria ? along the Golan Heights ? which has been relatively stable for years. Israel might actually prefer the devil it knows, Assad, to what might follow him. There is a very palpable fear in Israel that radical Islamists might follow Assad, and everything will get worse."
Likewise, experts say, Russia's occasional contacts with Islamist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as its efforts to advocate for the Palestinian cause, are no longer viewed in Jerusalem as Soviet-style mischief, but merely the same sort of pragmatism practiced by other powers.
"Russia has always said that its participation is central to any future Middle East settlement, but in reality there's not much Moscow can do," says Georgy Mirsky, an expert at the Institute for World Economy and International relations, Moscow's most important official research center. "At the same time, relations with Israel are moving forward, powered by growing numbers of Russian businessmen and a flow of tourists ? Russia is the second biggest source of tourists to Israel these days ? and much improved dialogue on the official level."
Iran remains the single major sticking point. Experts say that Netanyahu will probably have given Putin an earful on the need for tougher sanctions and perhaps military measures to stop Iran's nuclear program, while Putin will have urged caution.
"Russia is deeply skeptical that military measures against Iran can have any lasting effect, and is very worried that a war could spread into Russia's own northern Caucasus," says Mr. Satanovsky. "Russia worries that it will cause regional disruption, refugee flows, and no one knows what else might come in the wake of an attack on Iran. This is the one big point on which Russia and Israel are doomed to disagree, and go on disagreeing."

Poll: Election winner won't affect economy much
WASHINGTON (AP) ? When it comes to the economy, half of Americans in a new poll say it won't matter much whether Barack Obama or Mitt Romney wins ? even though the presidential candidates have staked their chances on which would be better at fixing the economic mess.
People are especially pessimistic about the future president's influence over jobs, according to the Associated Press-GfK poll. Asked how much impact the November winner will have on unemployment, 6 in 10 gave answers ranging from slim to none.
Yet the candidates, the polls and the pundits agree ? the economy is the issue of 2012. Can either man convince voters that he would set things right?
James Gray of Snow Hill, N.C., is skeptical.
"It doesn't look to me like the economy or nothing gets better no matter who you've got up there," Gray said. "I don't know why it is."
A retired policeman, Gray plans to vote for Romney and thinks the Republican might win. But he doesn't have much hope that would improve things for people like him, living on a fixed income. "Every time you go to the grocery store the prices have gone up," he said.
Years of disappointing economic news following the 2007-2009 recession have deflated American optimism. And worries about financial troubles in Europe and congressional gridlock at home hang over the future. Two-thirds of people still describe the economy as poor. The same number ? 31 percent ? think unemployment will grow worse over the next year as predict it will ease up.
"Right now it's so bad," said Maria Fisher of Timber Pines, Fla. "I wish everything was better."
Fisher, a preschool teacher at the YMCA, favors Romney because he's a Republican and a successful businessman. She's ready "to give him the chance to fix all these problems." But she doubts there's much the president can do.
Lots of Obama supporters feel the same way.
"The office of the president as a single person doesn't have as much influence as we generally attribute to them," said Jeff Guertin, a mechanical engineer in Bedford, N.H., who backs Obama.
Guertin said a president is limited by Congress' willingness to go along with his ideas, as well as all sorts of other factors, including world events, that affect whether the U.S. economy grows or shrinks.
Despite the dominance of economic issues in the presidential race, Americans are evenly split over whether the man living in the White House in 2013 will bring significant change to the overall economy.
A majority of those surveyed ? 55 percent ? say the winner will have from "just some impact" to "no impact" on the nation's huge budget deficits.
Those with little confidence that the winner can fix things are also more pessimistic overall ? just 32 percent of them think the economy will improve in the coming year. In contrast, among those who expect a substantial impact from the winner, almost half think the economy will get better.
Republicans are more likely than Democrats to predict that the winner's imprint will be felt: 58 percent say the election's outcome will affect the economy overall. Yet fewer than half of Republicans foresee much impact on joblessness.
Everett Hickman, an Obama supporter, said both campaigns overplay how much a president can do.
"The federal government has some influence over the economy," said Hickman, a retired radio news reporter living in Charlotte, N.C. "It doesn't have the kind of push-pull, click-clack control that some people seem to think, or pretend to think."
The Associated Press-GfK Poll was conducted June 14-18 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,007 adults nationwide. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.0 percentage points.

Poll: 1-in-4 uncommitted now in White House race
WASHINGTON (AP) ? They shrug at President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney. They're in no hurry to decide which one to support in the White House race. And they'll have a big say in determining who wins the White House.
One-quarter of U.S. voters are persuadable, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll, and both Obama and Romney will spend the next four months trying to convince these fickle, hard-to-reach individuals that only he has what it takes to fix an ailing nation.
It's a delicate task. These voters also hate pandering.
"I don't believe in nothing they say," says Carol Barber of Iceland, Ky., among the 27 percent of the electorate that hasn't determined whom to back or that doesn't have a strong preference about a candidate.
Like many uncommitted voters, the 66-year-old Barber isn't really paying attention to politics these days. She's largely focused on her husband, who just had a liver transplant, and the fact that she had to refinance her home to pay much of his health bill. "I just can't concentrate on it now," she says before adding, "If there were somebody running who knows what it's like to struggle, that would be different."
John Robinson, a 49-year-old general contractor from Santa Cruz, Calif., is paying a bit more attention, but is just as turned off by both candidates.
"I'm just bitter about everybody. They just keep talking and wavering," said Robinson, a conservative who backed the GOP nominee in 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain, but is undecided between Obama and Romney. "There's nothing I can really say that's appealing about either one of them."
To be sure, many of the 1-in-4 voters who today say they are uncommitted will settle on a candidate by Election Day, Nov. 6.
Until then, Obama and Romney will spend huge amounts of time and money trying to win their votes, especially in the most competitive states that tend to swing between Republicans and Democrats each presidential election. Obama and Romney face the same hurdle, winning over wavering voters without alienating core supporters they need to canvass neighborhoods and staff telephone banks this fall to help make sure their backers actually vote.
"It presents an interesting challenge to the campaigns," said Steve McMahon, a founding partner in Purple Strategies, a bipartisan crisis management firm. "Moving to the middle means winning these voters, but it also means creating problems with your base."
Obama has sought to straddle both the left and the middle by announcing policies that expand access to contraception and allow immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children to be exempted from deportation and granted work permits if they applied.
Both issues are popular with his core supporters and centrist voters. The president also is promoting a list of what he says are bipartisan measures that would help homeowners, veterans, teachers and police officers, and he accuses Republicans of causing gridlock by refusing to act on them. It's a pitch intended for independent-minded voters frustrated by inaction in Washington.
Romney has broadened his tea party-infused message from the GOP primary and softened his tone as he looks to attract voters from across the political spectrum.
He abandoned the harsh immigration rhetoric on Thursday when he pledged to address illegal immigration "in a civil but resolute manner" while outlining plans to overhaul the green card system for immigrants with families and end immigration caps for their spouses and minor children. In doing so, he risked inflaming conservatives who make up the base of the Republican Party.
Overall, the poll found that among registered voters, 47 percent say they will vote for the president and 44 percent for Romney, a difference that is not statistically significant.
Those totals include soft support, though, meaning people who lean toward a candidate as well as those who said they could change their minds before November. The poll showed that these persuadable voters are equally apt to lean toward Obama, Romney, or neither, with about one-third of them in each camp.
The survey also showed that these voters are more likely than others to say they distrust both Romney and Obama on the major issues. They are far more likely to think the outcome of the election won't make a big difference on the economy, unemployment, the federal budget deficit or health care.
Party politics and wedge issues have dubious weight with this group. The poll found more independents fall into this category than partisans. The partisans who are persuadable are more likely to be in the ideological middle than either liberal Democrats or conservative Republicans. Seventeen percent of persuadables say they consider themselves supporters of the tea party.
The poll also found that demographically, they are more likely to be members of Generation X (between the ages of 30 and 49) than other registered voters. Many, 71 percent, have not graduated college. They are a bit more likely to have lower incomes than all registered voters. Fifty-two percent of persuadables have incomes below $50,000, compared with 44 percent of all voters.
On other characteristics ? gender, religious preference and race ? they're split similarly to other registered voters.
The Associated Press-GfK Poll was conducted June 14-18, 2012 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,007 adults nationwide, including 878 registered voters and 228 persuadable voters. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.0 percentage points. For registered voters it is 4.2 points and for persuadable voters it's plus or minus 8.3 points.

W.i.P. Nightclub to Tony Parker: Chris Brown and Drake Ain't Biggie and Tupac!
W.i.P. nightclub feels Tony Parker's lawsuit against them is baseless and that there is no way they could have predicted the melee that went down.
NBA star Parker filed a $20 million lawsuit this week, claiming the club is responsible for the Chris Brown-Drake fight in which he was injured.
Parker sustained a scratched retina from shards of glass flying after Brown, Drake, Meek Mill and threw down, requiring eye surgery as a result.
Tony says it's obvious "there was bad blood between Drake and Brown" (allegedly over Rihanna) and that W.i.P. staff should have known better.
Moreover, he says they fueled matters by selling their posses alcohol.
But sources close to the club, which has been shuttered, say Drake and Chris Brown are not prone to violence ... at least not toward other dudes.
The club feels the fight was out of its control, and as for the alleged bad blood, a source said, "Chris Brown and Drake are not Biggie and Tupac."
Parker also suggested that the club was way understaffed, which W.i.P. refutes, saying that 15 security guards were working the night in question.
So far, no charges have been filed related to the brawl, though the club was closed indefinitely and the case is still under investigation by the NYPD.

Toothy Expressions Grab Attention
60-Second Science |

People looking at a crowd more readily spot those faces that show teeth, whether smiling or snarling. Sophie Bushwick reports

More 60-Second Science

To make a big impression, you?ve got to grin and bare it?your array of teeth, that is. Because people gazing at a crowd find it easier to spot someone with a toothy facial expression, whether it?s a happy smile or an angry snarl, than someone with a tight-lipped mug. The finding is in the Journal of Vision. [Gernot Horstmann, Ottmar V. Lipp and Stefanie I. Becker, "Of toothy grins and angry snarls?Open mouth displays contribute to efficiency gains in search for emotional faces"]
We apparently evolved to spot people experiencing certain emotions quickly, a phenomenon called the emotional-face-in-a-crowd effect. Some studies indicated that angry-looking people jumped out at onlookers. Other studies said it was happy faces. The conflict may have stemmed from the type, or rather the toothiness, of the angry and happy faces used in the experiments.
To clear up the discrepancy, researchers created two facial expressions for each emotion, one with bared teeth and one without. They also created a neutral face. A dozen adults then had to pick out the target emotion from a group of faces. And they did it twice as fast when the target?s teeth were visible. The study thus fills a cavity in our understanding.

Hands-on: Maingear Shift running Saitek flight-simulation hardware (video)
Custom PC builder Maingear had something pretty nifty up its sleeve at Pepcom tonight: versions of its desktops configured to run Saitek's flight-simulation hardware -- in this case, with a full cockpit setup. In partnership with Mad Catz, the company developed configurations of its Potenza, F131 and Shift desktops optimized to work with the Saitek line of flight-sim systems.
Tonight we saw the Shift paired with some pretty heavy-duty hardware: we're talking 18 USB connections for the full Saitek cockpit. Maingear's pro-certified system packs a Core i7 CPU clocked at up to 3.9GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 graphics (with four GPUs), and with an experienced pilot behind the wheel, that translated into a smooth landing in Flight Simulator X. Maingear says the whole setup -- hardware controls plus the Shift desktop -- will go for $5,500 starting tomorrow. That's the top-of-the-line configuration, mind you; if your piloting aspirations are more modest, you could opt for the more affordable Potenza, which starts at $1,000. Check out a video demo below.
