Thanksgiving Scene
November! Sweeping winds—brushing
the grounds with gusts of omni-colored
leaves! Frost — biting finger tips and
painting bloom upon cheeks! Trees—un-clothed!
Dancing snowflakes — playing
with eyelids. Color. Charm! Vivacity!
When autumn has stroked her brush
across the canvas of earth and sky, the
mind's eye instinctively muses upon the
faded year of 1620. Retrospection of
that memorable year radiates anew,
thoughts of a cold-bitten day when the
Pilgrims, kneeling before their Maker on
the shores of old New England, gave
thanks for His precious guidance and
safe deliverance on this—their Thanks-giving
"The observation of Thanksgiving
Day," writes Dr. Henry Cassell Davis,
"has been common in America ever since
the days of the Mayflower, when the
self-exiled band of devoted Christians
reached the shores of Cape Cod, where
they rejoiced in in the goodness which
had preserved them while they crossed
the ocean in search of religious freedom.
How often our hearts have thrilled as we
have sung or heard others sing of the far
off Pilgrim days, when the heroic men
and women of that pioneer company lift-ed
their hearts and voices in thanksgiv-ing
and praise."
Above the sea the hill-tops fair—
God's towers—began to rise,
And odors rare breathe through the air,
Like balms of Paradise.
Through burning skies the ospreys flew,
And near the pine-cooled shores
Danced airy boat and thin canoe,
To flash of sunlit oars.
"Pray to the Lord with fervent lips,"
The leader shouted, "Pray!"
Then prayer arose, and all the ships
Sailed into Boston Bay.
The white wings folded, anchors dawn,
The sea-worn fleet in line,
Fair rose the hills where Boston town
Should rise from clouds of pine:
Fair was the harbor, summit walled,
And placid lay the sea.
"Praise ye the Lord," the leader called;
"Praise ye the Lord," spoke he.
"Give thanks to God with fervent lips,
Give thanks to God today,"
The anthem rose from all the ships,
Safe moored in Boston Bay.
Our father's prayers have changed to

Sophomores Frolic
The Sophomore class party was held
on Tuesday evening, November 22, at a
barn near the Ford bridge. The building
was decorated with corn stalks and re-sembled
an outside scene in late Novem-ber.
Games were played centering around
the Thanksgiving theme and a Professor
Quiz skit was presented with Francis
McOlash acting in the presiding role.
The president of the class, Truman
Halvorson, lead the devotions at the
close of the entertainment.
The party was strictly limited to soph-omores
with the exception of the married
men, who were allowed to bring their

College Classes Elect
The two classes in the Junior College
have chosen class officers to lead each
respective class for the present year.
The freshmen elected Glenn Anderson,
president; Karl Karlson, vice president;
Elaine Youngquist, secretary; Runo
Palmquist, treasurer. Miss Enid Platts
was selected as class advisor.
Truman Halverson leads the sopho-more
class. The other officers are Wy-man
Hanson, vice president; Ruth Olson,
secretary; and Delbert Kuehl, treasurer.
The opening of Thanksgiving recess on
Wednesday afternoon, November 23, will
find the Bethel family scattering to va-rious
places and perparing for numerous
activities. Many who do not live too far
away, will take advantage of the holiday
and spend the day home with parents
and frienpds.
Students Hold Special Meetings
Most of the student pastors will go out
to their fields and conduct special
Thanksgiving services and visitation
work. At several places special series of
meetings are planned. At the Ebenezer
Church, in Duluth, Bruce Fleming will
conduct services each evening, and dur-ing
the day make an extensive canvas of
the community. To help in this work are
William Hagstrom, Kermit Johnson and
Paul Lundgren. Virgil Olson will also be
in Duluth assisting Rev. Anton Sjolund
and Rev. Linus Johnson as song-leader
and soloist in the meetings being held at
the Temple Church. At Isle, Ned Holm-gren
has 'been arranging for special
Thanksgiving services with J. Gordon Pe-terson
assisting with the music. The
Girl's Trio, and John Valine, Earl Sher-man
and Frances McOlash will also
spend Thanksgiving week-end in Isle. Mr.
and Mrs. Raymond Martin will be in
charge of the services at the Lakeside
Church, Wentworth, Wisconsin.
New Bus Makes First Trip
The first to make a trip in the newly
purchased gospel team bus is ai group go-ing
out to South Dakota to hold services
in several churches. Besides the driver,
John Bergson, those 'on the team are
Ethel Tederman, Henrietta DeCamp,
Ethel Ruff, Ruby Swenson, Rawlin John-son,
Robert Persons, and Runo Palm-quist.
Many of those remaining in the city,
will find opportunity for service in and
among the Twin City churches. Thanks-giving
week is a busy season for Bethel
students and faculty.

Student Opinion
The most natural question of discus-sion
amongst at least a part of the stu-dent
body is, Who will be Rev. R. Nel-son's
successor? Various candidates are
being put through their paces, each re-ceiving
support from some and attacks
from others. Upon the basis of that
which is barely speculative opinions are
From one view point to even consider
this may seem rather ridiculous because
we, as students, know that we have
about as much to do with the chosing of
a successor as with the use of W. P. A.
funds. But on the other hand, I feel that
these judgments, of necessity hasty and
based on scant evidence, are of great sig-nificance,
because whoever it is that re-ceives
the appointment, he will have to
enter the work having to do with a di-vided
student body. And opinions, though
they be erroneous and proven so, are not
easily erased. These preconceived ideas
could make for a difficult and unhappy
I am not suggesting that we make a
concerted attempt to stop this stream of
thought and talk, but that we allow it to
go on in the open and seek to keep our
balance, acknowledging that we know too
little about any possible candidate to
form judgments concerning him. Fur-thermore
let us earnestly seek to give
the one who is chosen our most willing
cooperation. —Ed. Nelson.
The Clarion staff wishes for all
faculty members and students an
enjoyable Thanksgiving.
Student Opinion
The column under the mast head of this page is to be used for student opinion.
It is an aim to make the Clarion the students' paper, and in order to adhere to that
ideal, we must depend upon the student body for writing their ideas. There is no
doubt but what there are many improvements that can be made, and a progressive
institution is never deaf to creative thinking.
What of compulsory chapel? What is your opinion of these choruses so fre-quently
sung? Should attendance to classes be religiously regarded? What of the
etiquette so nobly' displayed at the boarding .club? Should a college girl pay her own
way on dates? These questions and a host of others are open for discussion.
There is one word of caution. Should a pen name be desired, that is legitimate,
but one's own name should also be included on the manuscript.
Just this last week an article came in and was signed "Anonymous". This is
not enough. If you do not want your name printed, sign your correct name and then
add what you wish to have in the Clarion.
cAt Random
And to think that one had to be brought in mind of Armistice Day, by attending
the news reel on Wednesday, about five days after the day had gone by.
Tribute is paid to Miss Constance Swanson for the art work done for the Clari-on.
Notice the vignette above the editorial column and the sport page.
Bethel is sadly in need of an enthusiastic cheer leader. Basketball is just around
the corner. Is there a cheer leader in the crowd?
The colored bulletin board is commendable. It is strange that religious centers
are slow to recognize the "attraction of the eye" in advertising. We prefer, it seems,
to have dull, drab advertising.
"Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory
of god." 1 Cor. 10:31.
Every dream, plan, or objective in life may be likened to an amphora—a
beautiful, costly vase.
Vases may be treated in one of two ways; they may either be smashed to
pieces or adorned with living, beautiful flowers. Have you ever had a broken
vase in your life—a lovely plan, suddenly shattered by your-own wilful action?
Young Moses visioned himself as the redeemer of his own nation. This became
his amphora. But thru the slaying of an Egyptian his first attempt to realize
his amphora was broken. With the hammer of his own self-power he smashed
the sacred vase to bits and fled the country. Have you beheld with joy the un-broken
amphora—a great objective which is gloriously transformed into reality
when God takes control? Joseph's dream that the eleven sheaves of his broth-ers
bowed before his sheaf prophesied his future leadership. This became his
unbroken amphora as he later found himself ruler of Egypt.
What makes or breaks a treasured plan, ideal, or objective? It is motive!
Upon every amphora of life, therefore, let this motive be inscribed: Whether
I eat or drink, or whatever I do, I will do all to the glory of God.

Thanksgiving Scene
(Continued from page 1)
As David's treasures old
Turned, on the Temple's giant arms,
To lily-work of gold.
Ho! vanished ships from Yarmouth's tide,
Ho! ships of Boston Bay,
Your prayers have crossed the centuries
To this Thanksgiving Day!
We pray to ,God with fervent lips,
We praise the Lord today,
As prayers arose from Yarmouth ships,
But psalms from Boston Bay."
—Hezekiah Butterworth.
The Metronome
One perhaps would come into ill-repute
-to speak not in favor of the Jubilee Sing-ers.
Oh yes, it was an entertaining pro-gram,
and the type of music appealing.
But what of the type? You are asked - to
compare the reception of the Singers
with that of the appreciation.
We always appreciate that type of mu-sic
for which we need not put forth an
effort to grasp. The challenge of a real
musical appreciation is easily within our
reach, but indolent creatures which we
are, it is too easy to accept musical en-tertainment
and call it a musical appre-ciation.
The depth of musical contents
cannot be reached until the skim of lazi-ness
is overcome.
Lift me up to higher ground!
Chapel Notes
No matter how religious we may be,
or how much we may pray, or how much
we may read the Scripture, if we do not
live an upright life, we live in vain.
The pastor has a definite obligation to
his church to use his time right.
Religion and ethics are divorced in
Mohammedanism—and that is sometimes
true in Christianity.
—Prof. Olson.
"In your study, study as if you were
doing it for God"—Rev. Waifred Holm-berg.
"Man is-never periodically spiritual or
secular but always one, and that entire-ly"—
Rev. Reuben E. Nelson.
"Christ went a little farther into the
Garden of Gethsemane; our duty is to go
a little farther in our prayer life, our
service, our consecration" — Evangelist
Alphin C. Conrad.
"Greetings from the field! These
churches have hope in the young people
of Bethel and 'Great things are expected
of you' "—Rev. Ragnar A. Arlander.
The need of the Word of God in our
desire (1) to be as sinless as possible
(2) to have constant answer to prayer
(3) to love and be loved, and (4) to be as
happy as possible were stressed by Rev.
Gordon Meyer.

You see a beautiful girl walking down
the street. You walk across the street,
changing to verbal, and then become

We had been wondering for some time
why Glenn quit the bakery job and went
into the hamburger business. Our curi-osity
got the better of us and we finally
got up enough courage to inquire into the
matter. From Glenn himself, we received
the following answer: "When I started
working, they told me that I was to make
only cakes, but when they put me to
bending pretzels I quit, because my con-science
wouldn't allow me to make
"crooked dough".

Really, we didn't mean to write the
history of the Anderson .family, but we
just have to put down the happenings as
they occur. It seems that Bernice is al-ways
late to Bible Outline, and her ex-cuse
is, "I had to work." The other day
she popped into class, late again, and
Professor Nordstrom said, "Bernice, I
believe that you will be late to your own
funeral!" Said Bernice, "I probably will
if I have to work."

The prize for intelligence (?) this week
goes to none other than that famous boy
from St. Paul, John Warren Johnson.

words for his dictionary, he said, "Web-ster
and his wife were having an argu-ment,
and one word just led to another."

make more wise-cracks, my typewriter
and I will bid you, Cheerio.

Varsity Takes Alumni
On November 4, the Bethel basketeers
signified the opening of the 1938 season
by trouncing the alumni team 38-39. The
game, being loosely played and very rag-ged,
did not present any real team play
as compared to individual starring. The
varsity jumped into an early four point
lead only to see the alumni with Lloyd
Magnuson and "Bill" Adams sinking
shots to put the alumni ahead - 11 to 8.
Raymond Applequist and Stanley Paul-son
pulled into the lead never to be head-ed
again. "Bill" Adams, Lloyd Magnu-son,
Paul Dahleen, Alvin, "Shorty," Con-rad,
and Stanley Rendahl played for the
alumni. The freshmen showing the pos-sibility
were Donald Johnson, Delray Pe-terson,
Bob Hovinen and Don Erickson.
With these freshmen showing great
promise in addition to the seven return-ing
lettermen, Carl Young, Gordon Peter-son,
Gustave Ferre, Stanley Paulson,
Raymond Applequist, Wilbur Sorley, and
Arvid Edblom, the outlook is very bright
for a banner season.
Bethel Conquers Minnehaha
Crossing the enemy's goal line in the
last quarter, enabled Bethel's Trojans to
conquer Minnehaha by the score of 6-0,
in a wide-open game. The game was
played as part of an Armistice Day pro-gram
and also homecoming at the Minne-apolis
The lone score was made on one of the
few trick plays used by the Trojans.
With Applequist leading the interference
charging hard to the right, Halvorson
took a lateral from Pearson on a fake re-verse
,and went down the left side of the
field to score. The try for the extra point
Volleyball Scheduled
In Dorm
The dormitory boys have formed a vol-ley
ball round-robin tournament. Games
are being played every Monday and Pri-day
in the Seminary gym.
The three classes in the Seminary con-stitute
the teams and they are: the "Hu-dor
Ballous" (seniors) captained by Cliff
Dickau; the "Blues" (middlemen) led by
Orville Johnson; and the "Challengers"
(freshmen) headed by Alrick Blomquist.
The "Hudor Ballous" and "The Blues"
have won two games each, while the
"Challengers" have dropped two tilts.
Stars Shine Successfully
Suspended streamers tipped by stars
characterized the setting in the college
Chapel for the ninth annual Bethel
Homecoming, November 4th.
The afternoon was spent visiting and
reminiscing over the by-gone days at
Bethel. A comic German skit and various
exhibitions were shown. To round up
the afternoon's events, a basketball game
between the varsity and the alumni was
played, honors going to the school.
Preceding the banquet, the school or-chestra
under direction of Gordon Peter-son
rendered several selections. Dr. C.
R. Wall, alumni president, acting as
toastmaster, introduced the various par-ticipants
for the evening's entertainment.
Maurice Lawson, represented the student
body; Carolyn Nelson, the individual stu-dent;
Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, the admin-istration;
Rev. H. F. Widen the parents;
and Rev. R. A. Arlander, the denomina-tion.
Intermingled with the above
speeches were selections by the male
quartet, the girls' trio and an ensemble
composed of the quartet, the girls' trio
and Folke Ferre as soloist. A skit depict
ing dormitory life of a typical college
freshman was presented by several semi-nary
In addition to the above mentioned ac-tivities,
a business session was conduct-ed
when new officers for the ensuing
year were elected. Rev. William Tapper,
of Duluth, was elected alumni president
for the coming year; Mrs. H. Peterson
(DeBorah Johnson), vice president; Ma-rion
Berglund, recording secretary; Ed
Nelson, treasurer; and Rev. W. Ma1m-sten,
alumni secretary.

Chaz Frank completed his season as a professional baseball player recently and — not surprisingly — it has to rate as a big success.
Chaz Frank completed his season as a professional baseball player recently and — not surprisingly — it has to rate as a big success.
The former Central Davidson and University of North Carolina standout hit .282 with 16 RBIs in 49 games for the Vancouver Canadians, the short-season Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Frank was taken in the 20th round by Toronto and began his pro career shortly after the College World Series.
What followed was a solid first season as a professional and one that is certain to propel Frank to at least the Blue Jays' full-season Single-A level if not Advanced-A. The batting average was impressive and Frank had eight stolen bases in a row after being thrown out on his first five attempts. That showed he could make adjustments. An outfielder, Frank did not commit any errors.
On top of that, Frank helped lead the Canadians to their third consecutive Northwest League championship.
Again, the season was a success for Frank and he's sure to have more. Nobody works harder.
Former North Davidson and UNC star Levi Michael is the county's highest profile baseball player, having been drafted in the first round by the Minnesota Twins in 2011. Michael just completed his second season at Fort Myers, the Twins' Advanced-A affiliate. No doubt he would have preferred to have been at the Double-A level in the just completed 2013 season. But after hitting .246, the Twins assigned Michael back to Fort Myers.
Michael's progress stalled in 2013 as his average fell to .229. The former Black Knight was slowed by a pair of injuries and North Davidson coach Mike Meadows said the organization is still high on him. There were positive signs toward the end of the season. Michael's average had fallen to .218 at one point but he hit .409 over the last 10 games. Michael was also second on the team with 21 stolen bases and was only caught twice. The Twins could be grooming him as a leadoff hitter.
As a first-round pick, Michael will get more time to develop and the Twins have a lot of money invested in him. But it's unusual for a player to spend three years in a row at the same level in the lower minors with the same organization. It would make sense for the Twins to assign him to their Double-A affiliate in New Britain, Conn., especially if he shows continued improvement in spring training.
Former Ledford and UNC-Wilmington pitcher Justin Livengood made enough of an impression for the San Diego Padres to take him in the 10th round of the draft. The big right-hander made a good early impression at the Padres' short-season Single-A team in Eugene, Ore. Livengood had three consecutive scoreless relief appearances for the Emeralds before ending up 0-1 with a 5.87 ERA. He struck out 13 in 72⁄3 innings before the Padres shut him down on June 30 to protect his arm.
In about five months they'll all report to 2014 spring training to resume pursuing their dreams of reaching the major leagues.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - John Bourne scored in overtime to lead Brown Univeristy to a 7-6 victory over MIT, Wednesday night at Zesiger Pool. With the loss, MIT falls to 12-9 overall and 4-4 in the Collegiate Water Polo Association.
The Engineers found themselves in their second overtime game of the season versus the Division I Brown Bears. Paced by Dave Lohrey's three goals in regulation, Tech and Brown found themselves knotted at five at the end of the fourth quarter.
In the first overtime period, John Rogers scored his second goal of the game off of a counterattack to give MIT a 6-5 advantage. MIT held that lead up until the senior Paul D'Avino scored a goal for Brown with 13 seconds showing on the overtime clock; thus sending the game into a sudden death overtime period.
In the sudden death overtime, MIT miss fired on two offensive possessions with the latter breakdown leading to a counter attack goal by Bourne that sealed the victory for Brown. The Engineers are back in action this weekend at the Division III Eastern Championships in Washington, Pa.

This cartographic study of musical incest started out as a personal (and let me add, super nerdy) project of mine. I was trying to map out how the bands I'm in (Disclaimer: I'm in a few bands around town, including Partman Parthorse and Butts), and my friends bands, were interconnected. Kind of a 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon thing… only with the Seattle Music Scene and not Kevin Bacon (although if anyone can figure out how to connect any Seattle Bands to Kevin Bacon you'll be my hero).
The map started out looking like this:
There was just 20 or so bands on the first draft, all connected via shared band members.
Then… well… it became an obsession. I quickly realized that just about every band I knew was connected to dozens of other bands via shared band members. I started talking to friends about it. Other KEXP DJs, music nerds, etc.
You should have seen my apartment. There were literally scraps of paper strewn about everywhere. Maps taped to the wall. Piles of CDs everywhere.
Fast forward a few weeks: the first version of the map is finished. Suddenly, there was almost 300 bands on the map, connecting everyone from Fleet Foxes to Botch to Nirvana to The Intelligence to the Fastbacks.
It looked like this:
I showed my friend, a local poster designer, the map, and he offered to re-draw it.
It's now 8 FEET TALL. Here's a small corner of it:
At this point, in an unrelated twist of fate, KEXP asked if I could put together a podcast and I thought, I'm already working on this crazy project, might as well turn it into a podcast. So that's what happened. I created a podcast with 30 local bands, each band connected to the band before via shared band members.
The podcast starts off with The Shackles. The Shackles (who are playing KEXP's Audioasis live Broadcast December 6th at the Sunset) share a bass player with the now defunct band, The Charming Snakes, which is the next band on the podacst. The Charming Snakes went on to form the Coconut Coolouts. A member of the Coconut Coolouts is in the Lamborginiz. And so forth.
You can download the podcast today and take a listen here:
There's hundreds of other bands I would have loved to include on this podcast (And believe me, the original podcast was twice as long, but due to technological restrictions, I had to pair it down to it's current length).
It's my hope that in listening to this podcast, and looking at the map, you'll get a sense not only of Seattle's vibrant music scene, but how even when folks don't realize it, we're a lot closer to each other than we may think.
The map in its entirety (all 60 sq ft of it) will be on display at Cairo Art gallery on November 20th at 8pm as part of their Expo 87 music festival.
I'm excited to hear your feedback (yes, I know there's mistakes, and bands that have been left out. Email me about them! firstname.lastname@example.com).
Also, if you're in a different city, I'd love to challenge you to do the same… see if you can connect the scene you're a part of, and let me know how it works out.

Welcome to Orthodoxy! ... why is your question limited to "converts" alone?My advise for you and for me is to not dwell on this matter too much since we can perhaps presume certain things about "joyfull" out pourings that may lead our soul into temptation and also the same goes with dry periods ... so, merely enjoy and persevere through all that God permits, in gratitude and without fear ... since, the journey starts the moment that Christ knocks on the door of our hearts ... and He is always there for all eternity!
God is never farther away from us than our own hearts. He answers all our prayers for spiritual growth.
Hi - I am brand new here. I just found this site yesterday, I didn't know it existed. I'm so thrilled. Anyway... even though I converted many years ago, I wanted to say yes, those periods of dryness absolutely come.

This article, entitled "Home Canning Safety," comes from Carolyn O'Neal at BestFoodFacts.org.
Have you noticed that home canning seems to be making a comeback? Well, according to Martha McMillan there's not a comeback, it's been pretty hot all along.
"I liken it to pearls or a little black dress, they never go out of style but they do have resurgences every now and then. We take fruits and we preserve them and then we also we take vinegar using ball mason jars to get a good seal and be able to have shelf stable food that you can eat at home any time you want to enjoy what you put in it," Martha says.
Obviously it's very important to follow directions in canning.
"You should always use a good recipe; the Ball Blue Book is a good one because those are tested recipes. You want to use hot water bath canning method, you don't want to bake it in the oven, you don't use the old fashioned way where you use wax on top. We use the approach that the FDA takes."
Do you think when folks take a home canning class or start doing home canning it gives them a greater appreciation of the canned goods you see in the super market?
"You realize how much work goes in it, how many different steps of the process, and the quality control that needs to be in place for the food to get on the shelves."

MIAMI (AP) - The presidential candidates are capping a history-making campaign with a dash from Florida through a half-dozen other crucial states as John McCain tries for an upset over Barack Obama.
With little sleep, McCain was darting through seven swing states Monday, arguing that victory was virtually at hand despite national polls showing otherwise.
"My friends, it's official: There's just one day left until we take America in a new direction," the Republican Party's choice to succeed President Bush told a raucous, heavily Hispanic rally in Miami just after midnight.
Obama, comfortably ahead in national polls, was getting a later start with a rally in Jacksonville at midday and a swing through longtime GOP bastions that might go to his Democratic Party this time.
"I feel pretty peaceful," Obama said on the "Russ Parr Morning Show."
"The question is going to be who wants it more," he added. "And I hope that our supporters want it bad, because I think the country needs it."
It has been the longest and most expensive presidential contest ever-featuring for the first time an African-American as a major party standardbearer.
Asked in an interview broadcast Monday morning what most displeased him about the nearly 2-year-long contest, Obama cited attacks launched by Republicans against his wife, Michelle.
"There's a Republican or right wing media outlet ... that went after my wife for awhile in a way that I thought was just completely out of bounds," Obama said on CBS's "The Early Show."
"I would have never considered or expected my allies to do something comparable to the spouse of an opponent," he added. "They support their spouse, but generally they really should be bystanders in this process, even if they're campaigning for me. ... I mean that's what you'd expect. And that doesn't make them suddenly targets."
All that's left now is for the campaigns to make sure people vote, unleashing an unprecedented get-out-the-vote campaigns.
Surrogates for both men, including Democrat Caroline Kennedy and one-time Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, hopped from morning show to morning show urging voters to get to the polls if they haven't already cast ballots. More early voting is happening than ever, a process that changes the meaning of Election Day somewhat, with some 27 million votes cast in 30 states as of Saturday night. That's more than ever. Democrats outnumbered Republicans in pre-Election Day voting in key states. political desk
While in some previous elections the incumbent president has served as surrogate-in-chief, Bush is so unpopular that he hasn't been seen in public, except for climbing on and off helicopters, since a Thursday speech at the FBI Academy. And that won't change until after Election Day. White House press secretary Dana Perino said the incumbent's invisibility is by design-because "the Republican Party wanted to make this election about John McCain"-and even understandable.
"We're realistic about the political environment that we are in," Perino said. "I'm not saying that he doesn't recognize that there are people out there who want change, they've been looking for something new. ... What keeps him going is knowing that he's done the right thing."
All told, the election will have cost $1 billion, and the candidates together will have spent about $8 per presidential vote.
The candidates were sprinting across time zones and states in eleventh-hour bids to get to the magic number of 270 electoral votes-the total needed to seal the presidency.
McCain's journey stretched from Tampa through Tennessee, whose media market reaches into the much-coveted state of Virginia, which is trending Democratic for the first time since 1964.
McCain also was scheduled to hit Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada before ending early Tuesday with a rally in Prescott, Ariz. He was scheduled to finish the day-and the campaign-at home in the Phoenix area.
Obama was set to make a quick trip to Virginia and Indiana before returning to Chicago for a massive rally in Grant Park.
McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, was racing through five Bush states-Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada-in an effort to boost conservative turnout. The Alaska governor has been a popular draw for many GOP base voters.
Joe Biden, Obama's running mate, was to campaign in Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Polls show the six closest states are Florida, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Nevada and Ohio. The campaigns also are running aggressive ground games elsewhere, including Iowa, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Colorado and Virginia.
Obama exuded confidence Sunday at events in three cities in the bellwether state of Ohio, which voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 but is trending Democratic this year as it struggles against an anemic economy.
"We cannot afford to slow down or sit back or let up," Obama told voters at an evening rally in Cincinnati. "We need to win an election on Tuesday."
In New Hampshire, McCain held his last town hall meeting of the 2008 campaign-something of an exercise in nostalgia, as he conducted dozens of such freewheeling affairs in the months leading up to his victory in that state's primary.
McCain took voter questions on issues like illegal immigration and paying for college while thanking New Hampshire for rescuing his campaign in 2008 and in the 2000 Republican primary, when he briefly upended George W. Bush.
"I come to the people of New Hampshire to ask them to let me go on one more mission," McCain said in Peterborough, where he was introduced by Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.

2011 Ford F-250/350 Super Duty - First DrivePosted in Vehicle Reviews on July 1, 2010
We just returned from testdriving Ford's newest incarnation of the Super Duty pickup, and we have to admit, we're still trying to make sense of it. Not that we sensed anything wrong with the vehicle-far from it: Its on-road ride is far more compliant and forgiving than any previous version of this truck, and it's surprisingly wheelable in the dirt, given its size and girth. There's simply so much that's new and utterly mind-boggling about the new Super Duty from a technology standpoint, we barely know where to start to describe all of its many useful and functional features.
But we'll start with the engine, the direct-injection 6.7L Power Stroke turbodiesel V-8, rated at 390 hp and 735 lb-ft (yeah, that's no typo) of torque at 1,600 rpm. The new engine uses a composite graphite-iron block, which is stronger (and weighs less) than the cast-iron block it replaces. For 2011, the turbocharger has been relocated directly atop the block, which along with two-stage injection helps to reduce a great deal of underhood noise and clatter. Backing the B20-compatible diesel (a 395hp 6.2L gas engine is also available) is the brand-new six-speed "TorqShift" automatic transmission. Both components were designed, engineered, and built in-house by Ford and work almost seamlessly together to provide brisk acceleration (for an HD truck) and exceptional mileage. In our brief testdrive, we logged a combined 22 mpg (highway, street, towing, and trail), which marks a quantum leap over the old 6.4L engine, which was literally choking to death on its own EGR componentry.
Now, some folks have taken Ford to task for not offering the new SD with an old-school grindbox (with the kind of schoolbus-length shift throws that manly men prefer), but the way we see it, it would be a largely superfluous option. See, the new six-speed has a manual-shift ("M") detent that allows you to hold any gear as long as you like, and shift up or down at will via a toggle on the stalk. In addition, there's also a "Select Shift" function that allows you to essentially "lock out" any combination of gears on demand-say, when towing, when you don't want to engage Overdrive and would prefer to stay in lower gears.
The new SD is still plenty "old-school" underneath, however, where solid axles-a Dana 60 front and a Sterling 101/2-inch rear-are located by coil springs up front and leaves out back. The NVG 271 transfer case is back as well, though the case housing was narrowed to accommodate the extra length of the new transmission. Standard ring and pinion gearing is 3.31:1, with 3.55:1s an option. (You can get 3.73:1s on a dually version, but nothing numerically higher unless you buy an F-450/550.) You can also order a rear E-locker from the factory, and for what it's worth, it really helps the massive SD on loose and slippery surfaces without being overly intrusive.
Other good stuff for 2011? There's Hill Start Assist (i.e., hill hold), which works very well, even with a 20,000-pound trailer behind it, and Hill Descent Control, which is a great deal more sophisticated and unobtrusive than some similar systems we've tested recently in other vehicles. (And if that's not enough, the SD's integrated engine exhaust braking adjusts backpressure automatically to provide additional compression on long grades.) Side airbags and air curtains are now available as an option, Trailer Sway Control is now standard, and a tailgate-mounted backup camera displays on the Nav screen automatically in Reverse, with "track lighting" to assist with trailer hitch-ups. The onboard integrated trailer brake controller, telescoping side mirrors, and tranny-actuated "Tow-Haul" mode are still available, and you can now monitor all manner of vehicle functions with the new 4.2-inch LCD "productivity screen" located directly in front of you beneath the gauge cluster.
Built in-house by Ford engineers, the new 6.7L graphite-iron turbodiesel V-8 utilizes eight-hole piezo injectors to spray fuel directly into the piston bowls at a rate of five events per cylinder per cycle, at line pressures exceeding 29,000 psi. The turbocharger is a single-sequential design using a double-sided compressor mounted on a single shaft, which aids in NVH reduction and allows the benefits of a twin-turbo design in more compact package. Also check out the "flipped" exhaust manifold layout, which relocates the pipes inside the valley of the V-8 while the intake resides outboard. Why? Better underhood heat management, for one, and quicker delivery of exhaust gases to the turbo, resulting in quicker spool-up and reduced lag times. Peak torque is a mind-boggling 735 lb-ft at a tow-friendly 1,600 rpm, and while EPA mileage figures weren't available at press time, our combined test mileage for a day spent blazing on interstates, towing on backcountry roads, and whompin' in the dirt was a hair over 22 mpg. Impressive.
But that's only the beginning. Ford knows that a big chunk of SD buyers intend to subject their trucks to some serious work, so they've rolled out the newest model with plenty of job-related factory options. Want a diamond-plate toolbox for your truck bed? Ford's got one ready to install at the dealership. Want a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch installed? Ford can prep your truck at the factory with an additional frame-mounted crossmember, seven-pin connector, and five laser-cut holes in the bed for attachment points for a fifth-wheel hitch, and a 25/16-inch gooseneck ball is available as a ready-to-install option. Both hitches are rated to pull 25,000 pounds of gross trailer weight. This option will only set you back about $400, and if we were buying one, it would be one of the first things we'd check off at the dealership.
Ford also offers a "Work Solutions" option that can turn your Super Duty's Nav system into an onboard workstation, with high-speed wireless Internet access and printer compatibility. There's a programmable "Tool Link" tracking system that uses radio-frequency identification to tell you whether you've accidentally left behind any tools at the jobsite, or any other gear you wish to catalog. There's a "Crew Chief" option, which employs onboard telematics to relay information regarding location, mileage, maintenance requirements, and other needed data to a fleet manager or other remote location. Back in the bed, you can get a MasterLock cable lock to help you secure valuable gear such as compressors or generators. Oh, and did we mention that you can order the six-speed with a power take-off (PTO) option, too?
Suffice to say that Ford hasn't rested on its laurels, and only three years after significantly redesigning the Super-Duty for 2008, they've upped the ante with an all-new version that's more sophisticated and refined than any other HD pickup truck that's come before it. It's available in regular-cab, Super Cab or Crew Cab configurations, in five different wheelbases, and with tow ratings ranging up to 20,300 pounds. Pricing wasn't available at press time, but we'd guess you can expect to spend anywhere from the mid-$40s to the mid-$50s for a nicely appointed F-250 4x4. Even at a rarified price point, it's an amazing amount of truck for the buck, and we can hardly wait to get behind the wheel of one again at our 2011 Pickup Truck of the Year test, coming up a few months from now.
What's Hot:
Fuel-efficient powertrain, 735 lb-ft (!), rear locking diff, 20,300-lb max towing, can be factory-prepped for a fifth wheel/gooseneck, PTO an available option.
What's Not:
Barrage of electronics could pose steep learning curve to new buyers, 3.73:1 gears only available on dually version, all that technological wizardry won't come cheap.
Our Take:
Long the HD segment leader, Ford again ups the ante and sets the standard for other HD trucks to emulate.

Just got off a conference call with Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson. Johnson, who once ran a 4.24 time in the 2008 Indianapolis Combine, is obviously quite fast.
And that speed leads to a lot of conversations.
And the conversation today involved questions about how he'd do in a match race against Ted Ginn Jr., Miami's resident speed merchant.
"That's not even a legitimate question," Johnson responded.
Allllllrightie then. How would you do in a match race against track star Usain Bolt, Johnson was asked.
"That's a better question," he said.
Johnson then told the story of being at a pool party on South Beach in the offseason and several Dolphins, including Joey Porter and Ginn were present. He said Ginn and him got to talking about a race and Ginn actually challenged him to a race.
Johnson was apparently all in. To hear him tell it, he told Ginn to meet him on Ocean Drive and they'd run right there, right then.
"I showed up," Johnson said. "But he didn't."
[Update: Ginn talked in the locker room and confirmed the story is true. But he had no desire to get into a tit for tat with Johnson.
"It's nothing that relates to football," Ginn said. "That right now is not really my main agenda. I just want to go out and play football. It's not like I play defense and he play offense or he play defense and I play offense. We both on the same side of the ball. It's not a benefactor to me at all. I just want to talk about, you know, something else than that."
The best man may win. It's all up to the man upstairs. I know he's pretty fast and I'm fast and it would be good for both of us to run one day. But until that happens, I don't think this week is the week to really go into details about it."
Aside from it seeming as though Ginn had insurance on his mind before his interview, -- thus the inappropriate use of the word benefactor -- he did exactly as the Dolphins wanted him to do. He didn't stir any controversy that might motivate an opposing player. So that's that.]
Newswise today, Reggie Torbor (hamstring) did not practice. Jake Grove (ankle) practiced full for the first time since he suffered the high ankle sprain against Carolina Nov. 19. Grove worked primarily with the second unit.
Joey Porter (right knee) and Vernon Carey (back) were limited in practice.
For the Titans, Vince Young (hamstring), Keith Bulluck (non injury), Kevin Mawae (back), David Thornton (shoulder), Tony Brown (knee), and Eric Bakhtiara (concussion) did not practice. Nate Washington (ankle) was limited.
I asked coach Tony Sparano if any college has asked permission to interview any of his assistants for a job. This based on speculation the Virginia Cavaliers are targetting Miami oustide linebacker coach Jim Reid as a defensive coordinator candidate.
"No," Sparano said, before explaining now is the time for coaches to concentrate on winning games for the Miami Dolphins.
I'm told this doesn't necessarily eliminate Reid from a possible move to Virginia. It does mean he will not interview for anything prior to the end of the NFL season.
By the way as I reported on my twitter earlier today, the Dolphins cut Nevin McCaskill from the practice squad and added OL Ray Feinga, formerly of BYU.
Check back soon, I'll have more updates as news happens.

High Waisted Vintage Bikini
Added Aug 29, 2012
by heatherlou
Montreal, Canada
This is my second swimsuit this summer. My first was a workable muslin I self-drafted based on a Norma Kamali suit. For this effort, I modified the pattern to work as a high waisted bottom, and drafted the top based on a vintage bikini pattern from my stash.
It's made from a pricey Italian matte tricot and all the seams were reinforced with clear elastic. I used rubber around the waist and leg openings. The bikini top is lined with the same fabric – I used a nude lining for the bottom. Came together super easily; if you want more details you can find photos and further info at my blog.
Material Notes
matte stretch tricot, nude lining, rubber elastic, clear elastic, polyester thread

love it, that top style is awesome!
Aug 31, 2012, 06.34 AMby lauriana
Do I see it correctly and do the bottoms have a skirt front? I love that vintage detail! I've made a bikini myself last month (not on Burdastyle, just here) for which I had some similar ideas (but not the skirt front this time). High waistline, gathers in the top…

That is darling!!! Very flattering.

Go For The Gusto Garland: 10 DIY Ideas
Yesterday I wrote about Not Your Average Christmas Trees and it really opened our minds to making this holiday as DIY as possible. We've already decided that my tree will be on the wall this year, so now I'm looking for some garland to hang up there with it.

However, we're also really drawn to the idea of parchment paper garland — an irresistibly easy and inexpensive way to get really romantic strings of garland to hang all over the house. Once again, we can't make up our mind so we'll be making several of these go for the gusto garland:

Harris pleaded not guilty. Chief Deputy Dist. Atty. Karen Guidotti told the San Mateo Daily Journal that Harris and the alleged victim had been in a romantic relationship but were not involved at the time of the incident. Harris� attorney, Alin Cintean, told the newspaper the two "were previously involved." Harris and Dimitri Geier were having dinner before Harris was to drive Geier to San Francisco International Airport. During dinner, Geier poured soy sauce on a plate of rice, angering Harris. When the two went to get Geier's belongings from Harris' car, Harris accused Geier of stealing his underwear and tried pulling his pants down. Geier tried to get away, and Harris allegedly shook him and punched him in the face. Geier had to have surgery to repair broken orbital bones in his face. Harris claims Geier punched him first. �This really is a pure self-defense case. He was attacked,� Cintean said. Harris was a first-round pick of the 49ers in 2003. He played in 86 NFL games before retiring after the 2008 season. http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-kwame-harris-gay-20130129,0,2165097.story Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Korean Job Discussion Forums Forum Index -> Off-Topic Forum All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1 Jump to: Select a forum Forums:----------------FAQJob-related Discussion ForumGeneral Discussion ForumOff-Topic ForumTravel ForumCurrent Events ForumTechnology ForumBuy/Sell/Trade Forum You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum This page is maintained by the one and only Dave Sperling.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – The European Tour has announced a 45-tournament schedule for 2013 that reflects ongoing financial difficulties in countries like Spain and the potential for new markets in Russia and South Africa.
For the first time, there will be six tournaments in South Africa, including the season-opening Nelson Mandela Championship next month. Other new tournament venues include Russia and Turkey.
But the tour will have six fewer tournaments in Spain than two years ago and won't feature the Czech Open. It is also dropping the Singapore Open and adding the Hong Kong Open next season.
The Race to Dubai will remain in place, despite criticism this year when top-ranked Rory McIlroy won it with two tournaments remaining. It will, however, provide bonus points for those taking part in the final three events.

NEWTON, Mass. – Mount Ida College honored 13 members of their football team on Saturday who were playing in their final home game while wearing the Green and White. Despite the emotional proceedings and the strong home crowd at Alumni Field, the Mustangs fell 38-19 to Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) rival Norwich University.
Norwich (5-3, 4-1 ECFC) held the Mustangs to under one hundred yards rushing for the first time since October 5th, and got three interceptions from junior Dane Pallotto (Westbrook, Conn.).
Mount Ida senior Jordan Hyman (Middletown, Conn.) caught five passes for 116 yards, going over 100 yards receiving for the third consecutive and fifth game this season. Hyman attempted to spark a second-half comeback when his 85-yard touchdown catch made the score 31-13 with ten minutes left in the third period after Norwich had jumped out to a 24-0 lead.
However, the Mustangs were done in by a multi-headed rushing attack of the Cadets, who gained 344 yards on 55 attempts (6.3 yards per rush) and scored five touchdowns on the ground. Junior Al Georgio (West Greenwich, R.I.) rushed for 136 yards and four touchdowns, including a 60-yard burst with 9:11 remaining in the second half to cap an opening 21 minutes that featured three Norwich touchdowns and a field goal.
Joining Georgio in the rushing attack was junior quarterback Keyen Foley (Hemet, Calif.), who gained a game-high 157 yards on the ground, and sophomore Sam Chaves (Alfred, Maine), who busted a 65-yard rush to set up Georgio for a five-yard score in the fourth quarter to take back the momentum for Norwich after Hyman's grab.
Junior quarterback Jawad Yatim (Shrewsbury, Mass.) threw for 271 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw the three costly interceptions for Mount Ida, who also lost a fumble on one punt and committed a roughing the kicker penalty on another to twice more give the ball back to the Cadets.
Georgio opened the scoring with a ten yard run with 11:54 left in the first after an opening drive for the Cadets that went 66 yards on seven plays. Wesley Medeiros (Gilford, N.H.) added a 35 yard field goal later in the quarter, set up by Pallotto's first interception of the game, which came on Mount Ida's first play from scrimmage after a Norwich punt.
The first quarter ended with a 39 yard rush by Foley for Norwich and on the other side of the break it took six plays before he punched in an 8 yard score on a quarterback keeper.
Melquan Pinkney (Springfield, Mass.), who led Mount Ida with 63 yards rushing, burst for 32 yards on Mount Ida's next possession, but the drive stalled a few plays later and it took just two Norwich plays for Georgio to find a hole up the middle for a sixty-yard score that made it 24-0.
Junior linebacker Kayln Smithson (Vilseck, Germany) provided the biggest spark for the Mustangs in the first half when he picked off Foley in stride and went 36-yards untouched to the end zone to put Mount Ida on the board. Smithson timed his jump perfectly to coincide with the pass rush of freshman Sean Chinova (Watertown, Conn.), who got a hand on the ball as it left Foley's hand.
The Cadets, however, took back the momentum before the break, as Foley rushed for 41 yards to the Mount Ida 11 and Georgio punched it in from four yards out with under four minutes left in the half.
Hyman's touchdown was the only scoring of the third quarter, and it was negated by Georgio's five-yard scamper to his fourth touchdown of the day with 9:27 left in the fourth quarter.
Mount Ida went no-huddle mid-way through the fourth quarter and were able to move the ball 72 yards on nine plays in just 2:20. Yatim found freshman Matt Greenman (Portsmouth, R.I.) with an 11 yard screen pass, with Greenman flipping over the defensive back and into the end zone, but that would be the final scoring of the day for either team.
Freshman D'Andre Smith (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) led Mount Ida with nine tackles and had three break-ups, while senior Jon Proto (North Haven, Conn.) had seven tackles, two and half for a loss of 19 yards.
Senior Carlous Julien (Fort Pierce, Fla.) was also a menace in the Norwich backfield, picking up three tackles for a loss of yardage, while junior Anthony Sanders (Meriden, Conn.) had eight tackles.
The other seniors honored by Mount Ida on Saturday included Calvin Claiborne (Dorchester, Mass.), Frank Greene (Hamden, Conn.), Xavier Snipe (Brockton, Mass.), Zach Siegenthaler (Parkland, Fla.), Ned Cassidy (Brockton, Mass.), Frank Civitello (West Haven, Conn.), Nick Voss (Schenectady, N.Y.), Mike Babich (Franklin Square, N.Y.), Kenny Jean (Dorchester, Mass.) and Greg McEnroe (Babylon, N.Y.).
Juniors Nael Pierre-Louis (Cumberland, R.I.) and Matt LeFevre (Milford, N.J.) co-led the Cadets with seven tackles apiece, with LeFevre also adding Norwich's only sack of the game.
The Mustangs (4-4, 3-2 ECFC), who see their three-game win streak snapped, were just two of twelve on third down conversions and 1-3 in their red zone opportunities.
Norwich converted just 4 of their 14 third downs, but tacked on points five of the six times they were in the red zone.
The Mustangs have their final two games on the road this season, starting next Saturday when they travel to the Bronx, N.Y. to take on SUNY Maritime at 1:00 pm.
Norwich returns home for their final home game of the season, next Saturday at the same time against Husson.

That was the epiphany, or "stu-piphany" as she calls it, that Los Medanos College professor Myra Snell came to while trying to make algebra more bearable for students in 2009. Despite all her work to bring relevance to her algebra students, only 17 percent finished the series of classes.
"I was devastated. I went back and kept thinking what would it take to get the needle moved," said Snell, a 22-year professor at the Pittsburg campus.
The idea became simple: Shorten the process.
Snell created Path2Stats, a one-semester course that streamlines multiple semesters of algebra classes into a single class that focuses heavily on statistics. The course has no prerequisite, and the goal is to engage the students and get them to use critical thinking to analyze data, communicate with each other and work in teams, Snell said.
"Math does not have to be the burial ground for students' dreams of a college degree and the opportunities that come with it," Snell said.
So far, the program has been a success. In the five years since it started, Los Medanos student completion of transferable math has been three times higher than the traditional curriculum, officials said. Other schools around the state that use the program have seen the students who complete a transferable math class climb almost sixfold.
That's a big reason why Snell's class was recently chosen as one of 24 finalists selected for an award from the American Association of Community Colleges. Los Medanos was the lone California school picked as a finalist for the Awards of Excellence, which recognizes innovation and promising practices at the community college level.
Winners will be named April 7 at the association's convention in Washington, D.C.
"Myra's just an amazing professor. She's been at the forefront in seeing that we were losing the majority of those students by requiring all these layers," said Katie Hern, who cofounded the California Acceleration Project with Snell.
That project has helped bring the class to 20 other community colleges in the state. Hern, an English professor at Chabot College, and Los Medanos president Bob Kratochvil nominated Snell for the award, which is recognizing faculty innovation for the first time.
"Myra's work has helped make great progress in student completion of transferable math and helped accelerate learning," Kratochvil said.
Most students do not plan on going into math-intensive fields and need to just satisfy lower division requirements in statistics. But, based on placement testing, students can wind up with one to four semesters of algebra. Snell, who worked on addressing achievement-gap issues before becoming a professor, points out the algebra levels particularly affect minority students, as more than half of African-American and Latino students are placed three or more levels below college math.
A national study by the Community College Research Center found that 90 percent of students who begin below college math disappear before completing the college-level course. Hern says that Path2Stats is a solution to those hurdles.
The Path2Stats difference is clear to Los Medanos student Elizabeth Chavez. Chavez, 19, of Antioch, says she didn't care for her algebra class last semester and "didn't learn."
"I pretty much just sat in the back and was on Facebook," she said.
But in class Thursday, Chavez worked with fellow student Yvette Castanada, 28, of Oakley, by discussing approaches to solving a hypothetical question about the mean and median salaries for the New York Yankees' payroll given a few pieces of information.
"There's a lot of interaction in the class, where we share how we got answers," Castanada said.
In addition to her work at Los Medanos, Snell speaks nationally on remediation reform and served as a key adviser to Colorado's redesign of its mathematics curriculum. She also worked as a curriculum writer for the Carnegie Foundation's Statway initiative.

A hip, exciting and punchy track with electric guitars, piano, pounding drums and a catchy vibraphone riff. An organ and some tremolo guitar add flavour. Strutting and confident, it tells you to grab the bull by the horns. A soundtrack for tequila shots at 3am and stripping off to jump in the pool. Seize the day and have some fun!
Included are WAV and MP3 versions of both the full track and a 32 second edit. You can hear the short version on the preview after the full one.

Michelle Evans Drake, Billy Berg and David Christian of The Law braved the early morning cool weather, yet flat, beautiful seas to go wahoo fishing at the Blackjack Hole. The 64 lb wahoo they came back with made the trip worth while.
Everyone who has made the ride to the Blackjack on a cool morning knows how good it feels to bundle up in a bean bag chair and catch some z's. Man that is some goooood sleeping!
There is a video, but I can't post it because you can hear Michelle layn' down the law to Billy!

This order will control the conduct of the trial in this case. A. SCHEDULE
A jury trial is scheduled to commence on June 18, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. This is a day-certain trial date which will not be adjourned.
Counsel must notify this Court immediately if a pretrial resolution of this matter has been reached. The Court encourages the Government to set a deadline for disposition of the case by plea. This will allow for the orderly disposition of cases and avoid needless effort and expense of counsel and the Court.
A pretrial conference is scheduled for June 12, 2012 at 2:30 p.m. The attorneys who will actually try the case must be present at the pretrial conference.
At the pretrial conference, the Court, together with the parties, will determine the trial schedule. It is the general practice of the Court to start each day of trial at 8:30 a.m. and run until 1:30 p.m. without a lunch break. In some cases, though, circumstances may dictate that trial be conducted all day, from 9:00 a.m. until approximately 4:30 p.m. B. PRETRIAL SUBMISSIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, the following pretrial submissions MUST BE FILED with the Clerk of the Court and served on opposing counsel at least TWO WEEKS before the pretrial conference. THESE REQUIREMENTS ALSO APPLY TO ANY ADJOURNED TRIAL DATE OR ADJOURNED PRETRIAL CONFERENCE DATE.
1. Voir Dire Preparation
All parties must submit, on a separate page, the name, firm name and business address of the attorney or attorneys trying the case and the names of any assistants that will be in court at counsel's table.
Each defendant must submit, on a separate page, the full name and address of the defendant.
The Government must submit a list of its prospective witnesses.
Each defendant must submit a list of witnesses that he expects will testify.
For proper identification to the jury, the parties' witness lists should include the following:
(A) The full name of the witness.
(B) The occupational association of the witness, e.g., FBI, Monroe County Sheriff's Department, victim teller at bank.
(C) The address of witness - city and state will be sufficient.
(D) A brief statement of the general subject matter expected to be covered by the witness (e.g., John Doe, chemist who analyzed drugs; Mary Smith - victim teller at Marine Midland Bank).
The Court will conduct voir dire by asking a standard list of questions of the panel. The parties may submit a list of proposed questions they wish the Court to ask the panel. Failure to do so constitutes a waiver of any requests by that party. Depending on the circumstances of the case, the Court may allow counsel to make brief inquiry of the panel.
2. Jencks Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3500
It is in all cases preferable and advisable that § 3500 material be exchanged according to a schedule previously established, but no later than TWO WEEKS before the pretrial conference. This practice avoids lengthy delays during trial and affords the defense a reasonable opportunity to review this material.
3. Exhibit Lists and Exhibits
The Government must file an exhibit list on forms supplied by the Clerk's Office that briefly describes each proposed exhibit. This list must include all exhibits that the Government intends to use in its case-in-chief.
Defendant must file an exhibit list containing those exhibits he/she expects to introduce in his/her direct case.
Exhibits that the attorneys anticipate will be used during cross-examination for impeachment, to refresh a witness' recollection or otherwise must also be included in the exhibit lists.
ALL exhibits shall be denominated by number. The Government's exhibits shall use numbers 1 through 399; defendant shall use numbers 400 through 699. All exhibits on the exhibit lists must be physically tagged and marked with the appropriate stickers prior to commencement of the trial.
4. Stipulations
The parties should consider appropriate stipulations concerning undisputed facts or testimony. It is especially troubling to force custodians of business records and chain-of-custody witnesses to appear.
If the Government wishes to present proof by stipulation, it must submit to opposing counsel proposed stipulations of fact or proposed stipulations of testimony at least TWO WEEKS before the pretrial conference with a request that the defendant agree to the stipulations.
Defendant shall notify the Government as soon as possible, but no later than ONE WEEK before the pretrial conference, whether it will agree to the proposed stipulations.
Proposed stipulations do not have to be filed with the Court as part of the pretrial submissions.
5. Impeachment of Witnesses Under Fed. R. Evid. 608 and 609
Both the Government and the defendant must file notice if they intend to impeach any witness, including the defendant, should he/she choose to testify, by evidence of his/ her character or specific instances of conduct, under Fed. R. Evid. 608, or by evidence of prior conviction, under Fed. R. Evid. 609.
The notice should include the specific nature of the proposed impeachment evidence, including the dates of the prior acts or convictions, and citation to relevant case law that may assist the Court in determining admissibility. Copies of any relevant exhibits sought to be introduced should be attached to the notice.
6. Evidence of Other Crimes, Wrongs or Acts Under Fed. R. Evid. 404(b)
The Government must file notice if it intends to introduce evidence of other crimes, wrongs or acts under Fed. R. Evid. 404(b), whether in its case in chief or as rebuttal evidence.
The notice must set forth the specific nature of any such evidence, including the dates of the prior crimes, wrongs or acts, the specific purpose(s) under Fed. R. Evid. 404(b) for which the evidence is being introduced, and citation to any case law that would assist the Court in determining its admissibility. Copies of any relevant exhibits sought to be introduced should be attached to the notice.
7. Tapes and Transcripts
Absent an order to the contrary, the Government must submit to the Court and opposing counsel the final version of any transcripts of tapes of electronic eavesdropping or monitoring that it intends to submit to the jury. Transcripts do not have to be filed with pretrial submissions.
Defendant must file any objection to the transcripts or move against them by following the procedures set forth in paragraph 9, infra.
8. Expert Testimony
The parties must comply with all of the expert disclosure requirements listed at FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(G) [Government]; 16(b)(1)(C) DALE R. RICHMOND. Failure to comply may result in preclusion of the testimony.
9. Evidentiary Issues and Motions in Limine
At least TWO WEEKS before the pretrial conference both the Government and the defendant must file any motions in limine concerning any potential evidentiary issues or procedural problems that may arise during the trial. The parties must advise the Court of any significant evidentiary problems or anticipated proof problems that could arise.
All motions in limine must be accompanied by a memorandum of law which includes citation to relevant case law to assist the Court in resolving the issues.
The opposing party must file a response ONE WEEK before the pretrial conference.
Surprises and gamesmanship have no place in a trial and benefit neither side. It is in your interest that the Court be aware of potential problems so that careful consideration can be given to your respective positions. Some issues cannot be anticipated but many evidentiary issues can be anticipated. Examples of such issues include: the potential of witnesses to assert the Fifth Amendment; impeachment of witnesses or the defendant by character evidence, specific instances of conduct, or by evidence of prior conviction; the admissibility of other crimes, wrongs or acts to prove intent and motive, etc. under Fed. R. Evid. 404(b); authentication of tapes and voice identification; obvious hearsay problems; prior inconsistent statements, objections to expert testimony, etc.
The Court may resolve in limine motions at the pretrial conference or schedule argument on a separate date.
10. Jury Instructions
The Court gives standard jury instructions in every criminal case, and the parties are not required to file proposed instructions concerning these matters. The Court's standard instructions include:
Province of the Court and Jury
Evidence in the Case
Direct and Circumstantial Evidence
Questions are not Evidence
Jury's Recollection Controls
Court's Questions to Witnesses
Objections and Rulings
Indictment not Evidence

Separate Consideration of Each CountVerdict Unanimous
Jury Deliberations: Availability of Exhibits, Tapes, Testimony and Instructions
The Government must file proposed jury instructions on the substantive offenses charged in the indictment. The Government may file any other proposed jury instructions that it has reason to believe will be necessary (e.g., use of accomplice testimony; impeachment by prior bad acts or felony conviction).
Each proposed jury instruction must be consecutively numbered and each instruction must be set forth on a separate page. An index or table of contents for the instructions must be included. Legal authority or the source for the instruction must be set forth at the end of each instruction. If the instruction comes from a form book, the parties must advise the Court as to whether the instruction as presented has been modified from the instruction that appears in the form book.
Defendant may file any objections to the Government's proposed instructions and/or defendant's own proposed jury instructions, in the form set forth above, at least ONE WEEK before the pretrial conference.
The Government may file objections to the defendant's proposed jury instructions anytime before the pretrial conference.
Any other proposed jury instructions from either party, based on events occurring during trial, must be filed as soon as possible.
11. Courtesy Copies
Each party should bring to the pretrial conference one (1) courtesy copy of all pretrial submissions filed pursuant to this Order.
An additional courtesy copy of the pretrial submissions required in paragraphs 1. (Voir Dire Preparation) and 2. (Exhibits and Exhibit Lists) of this Order must be provided to the court reporter on the day of the pretrial conference. C. JURY SELECTION
In most cases the Court will pick a twelve-person jury plus two alternates. The Court will use the "struck-jury" system.
At the pretrial conference, we will discuss the number of peremptory challenges permitted by Fed. R. Crim. P. 24.
Under this struck-jury system, the clerk will select a venire panel that equals the total of the number of petit jurors (12), plus the combined number of peremptories allowed to both sides (normally 16), plus the number of alternates selected (2), plus the peremptory challenges available for the alternates (2). In the normal single-defendant case, a venire panel of 32 jurors will be selected.
The Court (and under certain circumstances counsel) will then conduct voir dire of the entire panel. The Court will give an opportunity to counsel, outside the presence of the jury, to make challenges for cause.
Counsel for each side then exercises peremptory challenges, on an alternating basis, usually in three or four rounds, against the initial panel until they have either exhausted or waived the allotted number of peremptory challenges. The first twelve panel members remaining will constitute the jury and the next two will be the alternates.
The Government will strike first by writing the name and juror number of its challenges on the strike sheet that will be provided. The strike sheet will then go to the defendant who will see the Government's peremptory challenges and will then make his/her own strike by writing the name and number of the juror on the sheet. The strike sheet will then come to the Court and I will announce those jurors that have been excused. The Government will have the final strike.
If you do not exercise a challenge during a particular round, you lose only that peremptory challenge and you may make other peremptory challenges in later rounds.
Keep in mind that the first twelve jurors remaining will constitute the jury.
Generally, the courtroom is set up with three rows of nine jurors facing defense counsel (27) with five other jurors seated together in the well of the court near the rail.
At the end of this process, which has been described in United States v. Blouin, 666 F.2d 796 (2d Cir. 1981), a jury of twelve plus two alternates (or more) will be selected in one proceeding.
Sheets for filling in juror information during voir dire are available from my courtroom deputy. D. TRIAL
The Court will advise counsel of its daily schedule so that arrangements can be made for witnesses, etc. Counsel are responsible for having witnesses available as needed.
The evening before each day's session, counsel will advise the Court and opposing counsel of the witnesses expected to be called the following day.
I expect the parties to cooperate in scheduling witnesses. The Court is not adverse to taking witnesses out of turn to accommodate experts and other non-party witnesses.
Jury time is valuable time and the Court will not tolerate squandering of this time with bench conferences and conferences in chambers concerning matters that could be resolved before the jury is summoned, during breaks, or in the evening.
If the Court recesses to 8:30 a.m., for example, it is expected that we will begin proof at that time. If counsel expect problems or need to see the Court, they must make arrangements to meet with the Court at a time before the jury is scheduled to arrive or in the evening after the jury has left. Nothing aggravates jurors more than waiting without explanation for long periods of time while counsel resolve matters that could have been resolved sooner.
The Court may set time limits for opening statements and closing arguments and it is expected that counsel will adhere to those limits.
Exhibits that have been marked and received into evidence will be kept during proceedings on the counter next to the court reporter. In the evenings, each side will be responsible for maintaining custody of its exhibits and returning them to court the next day (unless other arrangements are made with the Court).
So that the Court, jurors, all parties and the public can hear the proceedings, counsel should address questions to witnesses from podiums in the courtroom. I will allow some peripatetic questioning as long as you can be heard.
Counsel need not ask permission to approach a witness with a document, but otherwise questioning should be done from no closer than the podium.

For more than a century, We the People have been marching on D.C. in the hopes that federal politicians would see the light and limit federal power. We have been suing in federal courts in the hopes that federal judges would limit federal power. We keep "voting the bums out." But every federal election cycle we end up with new bums that expand federal power!
Asking, demanding, hoping – that the federal government will limit its own power – just doesn't work. So why not try something new? Nullify Now!
Thomas Jefferson wrote that when the federal government "assumes undelegated powers…" a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.
NULLIFICATION – has a long history in the American tradition. It is happening across the country RIGHT NOW. And YOU can help this growing movement go mainstream.
How? Attend Nullify Now! – our multi-city tour to educate and activate in support of massive state resistance to unconstitutional federal laws, regulations and mandates.
GET TICKETS NOW! – starting at just $10.00!
$10. This week only, General Admission ticket prices are about the price of a movie!
Ten bucks – if you act right now. We're launching the tour in less than two weeks in Ft Worth, Texas, and while hundreds of people have already confirmed attendance in our various locations, we want to send a message – and full houses in support of the 10th amendment, the constitution and your liberty – will tell not only the media, but your state legislators too – that you want action now.
The time to get your Nullify Now! tickets is not next month. It's not next week. Today. Not Tomorrow. Now.
Your Help – joining us now – will make the tour a huge success – and will allow us to expand and bring these events to more cities soon! (see below for our announcement on a new location already!)
Here's what you will learn at our events:
- What IS Nullification?
- What is the historical and constitutional basis?
- Where is nullification happening RIGHT NOW? (hint – dozens of states around the country)
- What can YOU do today to help make it happen – to enforce the Constitution in your lifetime
Speakers, Speakers….and more SPEAKERS!:
Here's just a few of our headline speakers at our various locations (see < href="http://www.nullifynow.com/" href="../">http://www.nullifynow.com for specifics on each event)
- Thomas E Woods – Best-Selling Author of Meltdown, The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History and Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century.
- Jack Hunter – "The Southern Avenger" – American Conservative Magazine
- Gary Johnson – Former Governor of New Mexico
- Jim Babka – President of DownsizeDC.org
- Debra Medina – Founder of WeTexans, and former Texas Gubernatorial Candidate
- Randy Brogdon – Oklahoma State Senator, author of the OK 10th Amendment Resolution and Health Care Freedom Act
- Leo Berman – TX State Representative
- Kim Russell – Founder of People United for Medical Marijuana
- Wayne Christian – TX State Representative, Founder of the Texas Conservative Coalition
- Phil Russo – Host of Tea Party Patriots Live Radio Show
- Tom Mullen – Author of A Return to Common Sense
- Charles Goyette – Best-Selling author of The Dollar Meltdown
- Michael Boldin – Founder of the Tenth Amendment Center
- William Greene – creator of the Constitutional Tender Act
- Joe Wolverton II – Professor of American Government, Journalist for The New American Magazine
- Darla Dawald – National Director, ResistNet.com
- Sheriff Richard Mack – Author of The County Sheriff: America's Last Hope
While most events of this quality level would be at least $50 or more, we're not doing this to make huge profits – we're doing it to educate and activate.
This is a big project for us at the Tenth Amendment Center and WeRefuse.com – but we wanted to start out modest in scope. Four cities are already booked and scheduled – and as long as you help us make these a big success, we'll be able to bring the tour to more cities, more states, and more people…
- September 4th – Fort Worth, Texas – http://www.nullifynow.com/ft-worth/
- 10-10-10 (at 10am) – Orlando, Florida – http://www.nullifynow.com/orlando/
- October 23rd – Chattanooga, Tennessee – http://www.nullifynow.com/chattanooga/
- January 29th – Phoenix, Arizona – http://www.nullifynow.com/phoenix/
- JUST ADDED – April 20th – Los Angeles, California – http://www.nullifynow.com/losangeles/
We're working on more dates in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Missouri, Kentucky and elsewhere. So help us spread the word of the events – let all your friends and family know about it – and at each milestone, we can add new cities like we just announced today (08-21) about the new tour date in Los Angeles.
We need your help. Help is what we need, and help is what you can give. Get your tickets today!
So while it might be important to call, petition, demand, march, sue and vote bums out, because they're all bums, there's much more we're supposed to do. When the federal government violates your rights, you're not supposed to wait four years for new politicians in the hope that they'll fix it. You're not supposed to wait two, or four, or more years for some black-robed judge to pronounce that they've violated your rights. You are supposed to resist those violations of your liberty as they happen – and it is your state's solemn duty to do the same.
