If you plan on heading to a government office to do business in Nebraska today, you may want to change your plans.
Most offices will be closed for Arbor Day. The holiday is meant to encourage the planting and nurturing of trees. Many states around the country also recognize the holiday.
The tree-honoring occasion originated in Nebraska City in 1872, founded by Nebraska City native and U.S. Agriculture Secretary J. Sterling Morton. An estimated 1 million trees were planted that day.
Nebraska City residents will hold their 141st Arbor Day celebration Friday and will extend the festivities into Saturday and Sunday, with tree giveaways, a parade, races, home and garden and craft shows, a chili cook-off and commemorative tree plantings.

Sports Editor
Westside High School head coach Darren Thomas knew he had something special in sophomore tailback Mike Mullens. It just took some time for everybody else to find out.
Thomas was confident that once Mullens got on the field, his play would turn some heads. But early on, the only thing Mullens was turning was his ankle.
In the season opener against Liberty, Mullens suffered a high-ankle sprain early in the game, and he played only the first quarter, gaining 49 yards on four carries as his team fell 31-30. He was sidelined again the next week, only able to stand and watch as his team defeated rival Wyoming East 22-20.
Back for the third week against Man, Mullens finally got to show off, and he rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. He scored on a pair of 2-point conversions, and the Renegades won 44-20.
That was just the start. Against Independence, Mullens had 137 yards and a pair of touchdowns on just two carries, and even against then-Class AA No. 1 Scott, he topped the 100-yard mark and scored on a 52-yard touchdown run.
Still overshadowed some by another Renegades sophomore, talented two-way quarterback Justin Cogar, Mullens had his biggest night last Friday against Tug Valley when he was a part of a 34-point second-half explosion.
He ended the game with 246 yards and four touchdowns on just 19 carries, earning Register-Herald Player of the Week honors.
"He just adds speed to our backfield," said Westside head coach Darren Thomas. "He's a sophomore, and he worked in the weight room all winter. He's just a good tailback for us. He runs hard. He's strong. He's not that big a kid, but he adds a lot to our running game."
Which also adds a lot to the Renegade offense.
"We have a pretty good quarterback, we think, so we're able to throw the ball some," said Thomas. "With Mike being 100 percent, that gives us that outside running. We run a lot of option with him and a lot of off tackle stuff. When he's 100 percent, he gives us that burst of speed we'll need."
Thomas said Mullens still has a little soreness in his ankle from time to time, but it didn't show on Friday.
The Westside staff has seen the value of having the 165-pound Mullens in the lineup, and it's doing its best to keep him there. Unlike many of the biggest stars across the state, Mullens plays only on offense — aside from returning kickoffs, a spot where he hasn't had to exhaust much energy with opponents usually kicking in another direction.
"Right now, he only goes one way, and that cuts down a lot of wear and tear on your body, especially as a sophomore," said Thomas. "When you're a 15- or 16-year-old kid, playing one way gives you a lot of energy going down the stretch."
Thomas expects he'll eventually need Mullens, one of his top athletes, on defense, as well, but an offseason of work should get him ready for the assignment.
"He's going to be stronger," said Thomas. "He likes the weight room, and he'll live in it during the winter. I don't know how much bigger he'll get, but he'll work. So the potential's there. He's gifted with something that's hard to teach, and that's speed."
Westside, though, isn't worried about the distant future. It's concentrating on 2012, and the Renegades have some important games ahead. Westside (4-3) is tied for the No. 15 spot in Class AA this week, in perfect position at reaching its biggest goal, despite a difficult early schedule.
"We felt going in that we just wanted a chance to make the playoffs, and right now we do," said Thomas. "We knew with a young team we would take some lumps. We're just looking for consistency.
"When you get in the playoffs, you better be ready to play some of the toughest teams in the state. We just felt like we needed to up our schedule, and we figure down the road that will pay off for us."
Another difficult test stands ahead this Friday with Class AA No. 5 Bluefield (5-1) coming to Clear Fork.
"Bluefield's awful good, but we want to measure up and see where we stand," said Thomas. "We want to be in their category each year — be a threat to make the playoffs and a consistent football team."
With Mullens in the backfield for the next two seasons, the Renegades will certainly have a head start.

McALESTER — By all measures, McAlester High School alumnus Sabrina Burns has had pretty great start to her senior year at Stephen F. Austin University. She's earned Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Week and currently leads the Ladyjacks in attack percentage.
Burns also joined ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District VII volleyball team on Nov. 8, according to a press release available on the SFA Athletics website.
"It's exactly where I dreamed I would be as a senior, seeing the fruits of all my labors the last three years," Burns said Tuesday.
An accounting major at SFA, Burns currently holds a perfect 4.00 grade point average. She made the academic all-district team both her sophomore and junior years — freshmen aren't eligible — but jumped from the second team last year to the first team this year.
Burns was also selected to the All-Southland Conference second team on Nov. 14.

Lawrence County farmers, square dance teams and FFA members who attended the Pennsylvania Farm Show last month returned with honors.
The week-long event took place at the state farm show complex in Harrisburg. Dozens of Lawrence County residents traveled to Harrisburg to compete or cheer on participants.
The results are as follows:
•Shane Clark of Enon Valley exhibited the grand champion Limousin heifer named Valentine. The reserve champion Limousin heifer was shown by Dylan Clark of Enon Valley.
Ed Nicol of Enon Valley exhibited the premier Limousin and was the premier Limousin breeder at the show.
•Jeff Pennington of New Castle, was named as one of the top 10 auctioneers for a final round in the 34th Pennsylvania Auctioneers Association bid calling contest. Contestants were judged on voice timbre, microphone control, knowledge of products being sold and timing of calling out bids.
•State Sen. Elder Vogel of Beaver County, whose legislative district includes part of Lawrence County, placed eighth in the celebrity draft horse driving contest. His sponsor was the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau. The object was to drive a draft horse team through an obstacle course while being timed.
Three Lawrence County FFA teams competed at the farm show from Mohawk and Wilmington Area and Laurel high schools.
Mohawk's FFA, with advisor Cliff Wallace, placed first in the state with a demonstration on heating and cooling with geothermal energy.
A geothermal system uses groundwater to efficiently heat and cool the home with minimal electricity. A local heating contractor and two well companies located in the school district provided the team with information for its presentation.

The First Portable Lightning Connector/USB MIDI Interface for IPhone, IPad, IPod Touch and Mac/PC
Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) July 10, 2014
IK Multimedia, the leader in mobile music-creation apps and accessories, is now shipping iRig® MIDI 2, the first portable Lightning/USB MIDI interface for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch as well as Mac and PC. iRig MIDI 2 adds a whole new level of portability and connectivity thanks to its detachable and interchangeable cable inputs, standard MIDI connectors and pocket-sized form factor. It's the perfect mobile MIDI solution for the musician on the go.
Universal Connectivity
iRig MIDI 2's Lightning connector provides out of the box connectivity with iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPad Air, iPad (4th generation), iPad mini and iPod touch (5th generation). In addition, iRig MIDI 2 also works with all earlier generations of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with an optional 30-pin connector as well as Mac and PC via its included USB cable. iRig MIDI 2 is so flexible because all of its cables are fully detachable and interchangeable via its Mini-DIN connector: Users can swap out Lightning connector, 30-pin connector and USB cables on the fly, which allows for quick switching while on the move. All cables are bumper friendly, which means that iRig MIDI 2 can be plugged into mobile devices without having to remove any protective case.
Mobile MIDI Like Never Before
For musical instruments or other device connection, iRig MIDI 2 comes equipped with three standard-sized female MIDI DIN sockets: IN, OUT and THRU. These allow for full MIDI functionality and connectivity with any MIDI-enabled device: keyboards, hardware synthesizers, software sound modules, drum machines, drum pads, DJ controllers, pedal boards, DAW interfaces and more. iRig MIDI 2 sports two blue LEDs that provide at-a-glance monitoring of the MIDI data passing through the IN and OUT sockets.
Ultra-compact, Portable and Durable
iRig MIDI 2 is small - so small that it can be easily carried in a pocket to any gig, performance, studio or jam session. It draws its power directly from its host device, which removes the need for bulky power supplies. Lightweight and durable, it features a rubberized enclosure built to withstand the rigors of travel.
A Full Suite of Companion Apps
With iRig MIDI 2, there's more than just MIDI. It comes with a full suite of music creation apps that make it usable straight out of the box. iOS users get two of IK's most popular mobile apps via App Store download: SampleTank® free is a sound and groove workstation filled with hundreds of high-quality instruments and patterns. iGrand Piano free is a concert-quality piano app that puts world-class piano sounds at your fingertips. Both apps contain exclusive bonus sounds that are unlocked when iRig MIDI 2 is registered. Mac and PC users can enjoy the full creative power of SampleTank® 3 SE, a no charge, special edition of IK's next generation SampleTank® 3 desktop sound workstation. Beyond all that's included, iRig MIDI 2 also works seamlessly with all MIDI compatible Mac and PC software, plus the entire spectrum of Core MIDI apps for iOS; such as GarageBand, Cubasis, Music Studio, BeatMaker 2, Animoog, Korg Gadget and many more.
The SampleTank App is available for at no charge from the App Store on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at http://www.appstore.com/sampletankfree.
The iGrand Piano App is available at no charge from the App Store on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at http://www.appstore.com/igrandpianofree.
Superior Italian Design and Manufacturing
iRig MIDI 2 has been designed and manufactured in IK's own factory in Modena, Italy. Like all IK products, it's been through rigorous 100% quality testing to ensure the utmost in dependability and is made within the highest manufacturing and environmental standards. IK Multimedia uses only the best components, materials and processes to create solid, smartly manufactured products at an affordable price.
Pricing & Availability

---- — HAMILTON — Despite calls for snow today, the New England Sled Dog races planned for this weekend have been postponed until next month.
The races will now take place Feb. 2 and 3 at Appleton Farms, with organizers saying there needs to be at least 6 to 7 inches of snow.
The National Weather Service reports rain and snow for today, with the possibility of 1 to 2 inches of snow accumulating on the North Shore.
Organizers are hoping to run this year's races, since last year's event was canceled due to mild weather.
In the meantime, the nonprofit Friends of New England Sled Dog Inc. will host Shelley Gill, an Alaskan author, adventurer and dog musher, tomorrow at the Hamilton-Wenham Community House, 284 Bay Road, Hamilton.
The event begins at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Gill is one of the first women to race the Iditarod, the famous 1,100-mile dog sled race in Alaska. She has authored more than 25 books and has conducted research on humpback whales.
"Very few people have done what Shelley has done," said Belinda Recio, a board member of the nonprofit.
Recio said those who attend will be in for an inspiring evening as Gill speaks about her many adventures.
"It is a chance to meet an extremely interesting person," Recio said. "She has a great sense of humor and has great stories to tell."
Gill was friends with late Hamilton resident Norman Vaughan, who was the inspiration behind bringing the sled dog races to town in 2010. Vaughan was a dog sled driver and polar explorer who participated in Adm. Richard Byrd's first expedition to the South Pole, according to the group.
"She was very good friends with Norman and shared many adventures with him," Recio said.
Recio said the presentation is part of the group's goal to not only organize a race but educational programs, as well. There will be a meet-and-greet with Gill after her presentation.
This year's sled dog race course will begin and end on Highland Street at Lamson Field.
What: Alaskan author and dog musher Shelley Gill to speak about her many adventures
When: 7 p.m. tomorrow
Where: Hamilton-Wenham Community House, 284 Bay Road, Hamilton

Most employers that offer a menu of employee benefits have an annual open enrollment period - typically several weeks in the fall or early winter. During open enrollment, employees can enroll in benefits for the first time, change their current benefit choices or coverage amounts, or completely opt-out of their employer's benefit program.
Employee benefit decisions impact your family's overall financial strategy, so taking the time to do more than simply confirm the benefits you already have in place can be beneficial. It's important to weigh your options carefully, consider your choices in the context of your overall financial situation and weigh the risks and rewards that come with transitioning to more or less coverage.
What to Consider
As you review your employee benefits, make sure that your:
- Health and dental plans still meet your needs. Companies regularly change plans and premiums. Selecting plans that provide the protection you need, while minimizing the coverage you don't, may help you save money. Also, if you are married, look at the coverage options that your spouse's employer provides. Just because your employer's plan was the best fit last year doesn't mean that it will be the best choice this year. Compare deductibles, co-pays and premium contributions and make sure you are fully aware of any changes to your plan before you finalize your choices.
- Life and disability income insurance are sufficient to meet your needs. Do some research and consider consulting with a financial professional if you need help determining what kinds of insurance – and how much – you need to protect your lifestyle and your family given your goals and financial situation. This will enable you to make the most of your employer-sponsored coverage and to determine whether you need any supplemental coverage.
- Beneficiary designations are up-to-date. Stating something in your will isn't enough. Your beneficiary designations on a life insurance policy, annuity or retirement account — such as a 401(k) or an IRA — override what's stated in your will or trust. So if you have experienced a life-changing event like a marriage, divorce, birth, adoption or death in your family, make sure that your beneficiary designations reflect your current wishes.
- Retirement savings plan is still appropriately diversified. Start contributing to your employer-sponsored retirement plan now if you haven't yet. Many companies offer a match, so make sure you're getting the maximum amount of "free" money you can. If your familiarity and skill level with investing is more advanced than average, you may consider rebalancing your retirement 401(k) on your own, but for many people, an automatic rebalancing plan where the investment accounts are managed by professionals is easier. Other plans leave the investment choices and rebalancing up to you. In this case, consider consulting with a financial professional for help in choosing the investments best suited to your objectives.
- Tax withholding amount is on target. If you always receive a large refund from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or find that you owe the IRS money every April, you may be having too much or not enough withheld. To help avoid either extreme, consult with a tax professional to determine the best withholding amount.
Additional Considerations
The Affordable Health Care Act introduced health insurance reforms that will roll out during the next few years. Two of the reforms that will have the most impact on your employee benefits options are:
- Coverage for young adult dependents. Previously, young people would not be included as an eligible dependent unless they were a full-time student, but now that this provision is in effect, young adults can stay on their parents' group health plan until age 26 if they don't have access to health insurance through a spouse or employer. Though parents with an adult child on their health plan may have to budget for higher insurance costs, it may help more young people save some cash over purchasing an individual plan.
- Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) — FSAs allow you to save pre-tax dollars in an account designed to reimburse you for out-of-pocket medical expenses. (As of 2012, over-the-counter medications are no longer included unless your physician prescribes them.) Beginning in 2013, the maximum amount that you can set aside in an FSA will be $2,500 a year. Keep in mind that accurate planning is critical, because any money leftover in your FSA at the end of the plan year is lost.
To better understand all of the employer-sponsored benefits available to you, consult with your company's benefits coordinator or other human resources professional. Now is also a good time to meet with your financial advisor and tax or legal professionals. They can help you evaluate your choices and ensure your medical, dental, other insurance and retirement savings benefits, — such as your 401(k) and pension — are aligned with your needs and integrated with your short- and long-term plans in the most efficient and effective ways.

NORMAN — Surrounded by her loving family, Laverne Dueker Billman went to be with her Lord and Savior on Oct. 5, 2012, at the age of 85. LaVerne is preceded in death by her husband, Rev. Jim Billman, her parents, Clarence and Fern Dueker, her twin sister LaVonne and her brother Donald. She is survived by 4 daughters, Judi (Roy) Bendure, Peggy (Marin) Garza, Jamie (Bill) McGaugh, and Jennifer (Kenny) Green. She also leaves eleven grandchildren, Sean Roberts, Derek and Michael Bendure, Jamie Schmitt Jones and Jordan Schmitt, Matthew and Seth McGaugh, Mark, Tessa and Jenna Garza, Jared Cupples, 12 great grandchildren, and one sister, Norma Simmons.
LaVerne cherished her role as a preacher's wife and mother. Her dedication to both was untiring. She was always there to lend a helping hand or heart to anyone who needed it. She passionately enjoyed cooking and baking, and will be warmly remembered by many for both. She also enjoyed doing needlework and was an accomplished seamstress. In the later half of her life, she was able to put her talents to use by working as a bakery manager at Wrights IGA in Norman, Okla. Although she loved doing all of these things, her favorite job in life was just being "Mimi."
Pallbearers will be her 6 grandsons. Visitation will be at noon on Oct. 8, 2012 at Roller Citizens Funeral Home with services at 1:00 P.M. Burial will be in Blytheville, Ark. at Maple Grove Cemetery about 3 p.m.
LaVerne loved helping at Christian Wrangler Camp every summer in Wynne, Ark. and we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to them in her name. Please send to:

BRILLIANT - A must have if you have the Phillips Hue Bridge
I purchased one of these strip lengths to go under my breakfast bar, and i must say that they are absolutely amazing! The colour i I purchased one of these strip lengths to go under my breakfast bar, and i must say that they are absolutely amazing! The colour is much better that the in the Phillips Hue Bulbs.
However i do criticise this on two facts. One is the length. its not really long enough although the intensity of the lights them selves dose not show this when they are on, i had to have it in a couple of inches each side but the light reflects filling up the gap, secondly there is no off switch on the device its self, would of been nice to had a accessible switch.
I would defo recoomend these. I will be purchasing a few more to go under the units and around the plinths as they look fantastic! …

Can you run the LightStrips on 12 volt electricity, as in a boat or RV?
- Asked by David D from West Palm Beach
- 30-Apr-2014
If you use a power inverter, you should be able to use the lightstrips with a 12 volt power source. If you use a power inverter, you should be able to use the lightstrips with a 12 volt power source. However, none if the Hue lights (Lightstrips included) are rated for outdoor use. Thus, you'd have to use them inside the cabin, if you have one, not outside. …

The LightStrips use the hue/saturation color mode for producing their colors. To change colors the The LightStrips use the hue/saturation color mode for producing their colors. To change colors the app sends commands to the SmartBridge. You can send 65,536 hue values and 256 saturation values: 65,536*256 = 16,777,216.
In reality, it is very hard to distinguish hue or saturation values when they are very close. You can also dim the bulbs in 256 distinct levels. The current SmartBridge maps any 255 values to 254, so saturation and brightness really support 255 levels. Again it is hard to see any difference for values that are very close. …

My question exactly.....Can they be hardwired?
- Asked by Frank G from Danville
- 05-Mar-2014
These will indeed need a standard power outlet.
The power cable is a fixed length as well. Howev These will indeed need a standard power outlet.
The power cable is a fixed length as well. However, the light strip itself can be cut to length and the power supply can be mounted under a cabinet....so its certainly possible to hide fairly well. You could also have an outlet added underneath the cabinets so no wire shows at all. …

If I buy the light strips and the starter kit, will all bulbs have to work simultaneously?

Everything can be controlled independently. You can also group bulbs together to control them as 'on Everything can be controlled independently.

Trick-or-Treating wasn't on Halloween this year in Forks and Palmer townships.
Now it won't be Saturday either for Palmer Township.
Palmer Township officials announced Thursday morning that trick-or-treating will be "postponed until further notice" due to the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Officials said there were just too many downed trees and wires and power outages to have a safe Halloween event.
Palmer Township supervisors will discuss the issue at their meeting Monday night.
Due to power outages caused by Hurricane Sandy, Forks officials decided Tuesday afternoon to delay the community event, rescheduling it for 6-8 p.m. Saturday. Palmer made its decision Wednesday morning.
The chiefs of the Forks Township police and fire departments said they'll be out in full force for trick-or-treating, passing out candy and keeping an eye out to ensure the safety of township children.
Palmer and Forks were hit with a high number of power outages.

Usually when people hear the phrase Never Tear Us Apart, they think of that schmaltzy INXS ballad that was released in the late 80s.
Here in Ottawa, Kyle Turris should be employing the words as part of his recruiting pitch to encourage Alfie to play another season.
For years, the organization has tried to cultivate and develop an effective two-way center whose offensive skills lived up to the position. They had hoped that Mike Fisher would be that guy. He wasnt. He was an exceptional third line center who never elevated the play of his skilled linemates. The Antoine Vermette experiment was short-lived, maybe too short-lived.. He was eventually dealt to the Blue Jackets for Pascal Leclaire and a second round pick that became Robin Lehner.

The last contested Congressional race in the country officially came to a close on Wednesday morning when Republican candidate Randy Altschuler conceded .
Altschuler issued a statement Wednesday morning, and called incumbent Rep. Tim Bishop, D-Southampton, before issuing his concession statement to the press.
"Election Day was what, 38 days ago?" Bishop said on Wednesday morning, claiming he did not expect to receive the concession call.
"I was surprised," he said. "My understanding was that we were going into court today and begin a ballot-by-ballot challenge of the residency challenges. In fact, both sides will relinquish all of their challenges and we will count all the challenged ballots. I think that's the best outcome in terms of the democratic process - seeing that every legally cast vote is counted."
Suffolk County Supreme Court Judge Peter Mayer was expected to return to the Board of Elections in Yaphank on Wednesday after holding court at BOE headquarters last week. Altschuler's attorney, Vincent J. Messina, said he was going to either justify each of Altschuler's roughly 650 residency challenges, or give them up.
"It feels good," Bishop said. "I had a very gracious conversation with Randy Altschuler this morning so I am very pleased it's over and ended out with me coming out on top.
"I wished him very well, even though we went at one another in a very strenuous way in the course of the campaign."
In a statement, Altshculer said,"Although Newsday, The New York Times and the Bishop campaign have all called for a hand recount of all the ballots cast on Election Day, I will not support such an action as I feel its cost will place an unnecessary burden on the taxpayers of Suffolk County."
According to Altschuler's numbers, the St. James Republican was down 263 votes with approximately 977 ballots remaining to be counted.
Jon Schneider, Bishop's spokesman, had said for weeks that it was only a matter of time until Altschuler "accepted the reality of the numbers. The math speaks for itself."
Altschuler said he will "plan to stay active in politics and speak out on the issues that affect the residents of Suffolk County."
As for Bishop, he'll continue to serve as a Congressman without having to worry if he'll be back for a fifth term.
"It hasn't been easy – no one likes uncertainty in their life," he said. "But I have remained a member of Congress, and we have remained in session, so I have collectively stayed focused on that. It's been good to have things to stay focused on."

Obama Administration's Texas Decision Invites Voter Fraud
Voter fraud cheapens the value of the universal franchise.
There are few rights that are valued as dearly as the right to the universal franchise. Wars have been fought to secure it and wars have been fought to protect it. People have died defending it and they have died trying to make sure it was extended to others.
Voter fraud cheapens the value of the universal franchise. There are those, like the current president of the United States and his attorney general, however, who act like it's a fiction, some kind of right-wing fantasy that does not deserve our attention. And, as such, they are taking steps to oppose every reasonable effort to guard against it.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
In recent months a number of states have moved forward with changes to their election laws designed to minimize the possibility of voter fraud. These include the abolition of same-day registration and the requirement that voters show a photo ID before being allowed to cast a ballot. The Obama administration has staked out a position in opposition, telling the state of Texas, for example, that its new voter ID law is unconstitutional because it discriminates against Hispanics, African-Americans, the elderly, and others.
Texas is now the second state, South Carolina being the first, where the Justice Department has used its authority under the federal Voting Rights Act to block voter ID. "In regard to Texas, 'I cannot conclude that the state has sustained its burden' of showing that the newly enacted law has neither a discriminatory purpose nor effect, Thomas E. Perez, the head of the Justice Department's civil rights division, said in a letter to the Texas secretary of state," the Associated Press reported earlier this week.
[Peter Roff: Despite What Democrats Claim, Voter Fraud is Real]
Consider what the Justice Department is saying. That the requirement to show a photo ID before voting is too intrusive, too expensive, and discriminatory against a certain class of people when federal law already requires people provide proof of identity to board an airplane, get a passport, or start work at a new job. Photo ID is also required when renting a car, purchasing alcohol, cashing a check or entering a federal building. Do these regulations also discriminate? One would think the same Justice Department that has blocked voter ID would say "Yes," but they haven't.
Add to this the news that citizen-journalist James O'Keefe was able to demonstrate the potential for voter fraud is real in places like New Hampshire and Vermont, where someone working with him asked for and received ballots in the names of different people at polling places across the state and was given them without have to prove who they were.
If a citizen-journalist can do such a thing successfully just to prove a point, what might a well-organized political campaign by a third-party be able to do that would affect the outcome of an election? It is clear that additional safeguards are necessary but the Obama administration opposes them, not because they are constitutional questionable but, more than likely, because they realize they are more likely to benefit from voter fraud than be harmed by it.
[Washington Whispers: ACLU Leader Says Voter ID Law Akin to Jim Crow-Era Law]
Moreover, the harm is immediate and cannot be mitigated. Once a vote is cast, that's it. This has been the argument several times in recent years when the probability that voter fraud had occurred was high, as when felons have been found to have voted illegally—but, as no one can prove for whom they voted, there is no remedy available. The only way to guard against voter fraud is to prevent it from occurring in the first place.
There are plenty of problems at the polling places in every election, not all of which rise to the level of outright fraud. In truth, however, fraud itself is rampant—from harassment at polling places to the signing of false names to nominating petitions to people who actually vote more than once in a single election or who cast a vote in the name of another. Such actions cheapen the rights and representation of each and every legitimate voter in the United States. It is indeed a strange world when a presidential administration asks for an investigation into alleged irregularities in a foreign election but turns a blind eye to the possibility of irregularities here at home.

JOHNSTOWN — "This was a moving Nativity scene made by my father, James Schellhammer, about 50 years ago," wrote Ardie Brunetto of Johnstown. "It was a surprise for us. We didn't see it until Christmas morning. It took the whole width of our sunroom. That's how big it was. The wise men moved on a track to the stable and turned around and went back to the field. Camels went around the outside edge. The star and the angel on the stable went up and down on a pulley. We had people from everywhere coming to the house to see it. We treasured it and were brokenhearted when we learned it had been destroyed by renters at the house after my father had passed away."

The housing market in the U.S. is showing some signs of recovery and if the trend continues, investors will be looking for opportunities.
"The housing market is showing some evidence of stabilization and even improvement in the U.S.," said Dan Kelley, the portfolio manager of the Fidelity Trend fund ( FTRNX ). "And with a reduction in inventory and an appreciation of rental rates across many markets, investors are taking another look and recognizing the value proposition the sector can provide."
Unfortunately, finding those investment opportunities might not be so easy at the moment.
According to Jason Pride, director of investment strategy at Glenmede, many of the investments that will benefit from a recovery in the housing market will be found in private markets, not in the easier-to-access public markets.
In an interview, Pride said public market real estate investment trusts, or REITs, which tend to focus on commercial real estate, are not the place to invest right now. Nor are REITs that specialize in residential rental properties. Most of those, he said, are now trading at premium valuations "as investors have flocked to the space in their hunt for yield." And the same goes for homebuilders, such as Hovnanian Enterprises /quotes/zigman/229621/delayed/quotes/nls/hov HOV -3.50% , many of which have surged in value from the lows of last year.
Consider home-improvement retailers
Instead, the "one avenue that continues to make the most sense in the public markets has been the home-improvement retailers where valuations are reasonable and sales tend to go hand-in-hand with home sales," Pride wrote in his monthly report.
Home Depot /quotes/zigman/229488/delayed/quotes/nls/hd HD -1.36% is one of the retailers which is poised to benefit from improvement in the housing market.
"We still have a fundamentally positive view of the home-improvement retail market and believe it is still fairly early in the cyclical recovery," Peter Wahlstrom, an analyst at Morningstar, wrote in a recent report. "We plan to increase our fair value estimate to reflect the time value of money, [Home Depot's] overall outperformance in 2011, and management's encouraging 2012 outlook, which calls for low-single-digit comp growth and 50 basis points of margin expansion." Morningstar's fair value estimate for Home Depot, which trading at a 52-week high, is currently $49 a share.
Lowe's Cos. /quotes/zigman/232508/delayed/quotes/nls/low LOW -0.54% , which is trading at a four-year high, is the other big home improvement retailer to consider. Nomura Securities, for instance, this week upgraded its rating of Lowe's to a "buy" from a "hold". According to published reports, Aram Rubinson, an analyst for Nomura, said shares of Lowe's "have moved higher, but ample upside potential remains if our forecasts are correct... But by following HD's playbook we think it can find successes. Those in turn, can breed even more success. Risk remains, but momentum is more likely to turn positive than negative."
Don't forget home builders and banks
