Welcome to the Blog of Rich Samuels, Host of "Anything Goes"
Wednesday, 17 October 2012 | Rich Samuels
On the left is a photo of me (snapped by April 14, 2009, by Chicago Sun-Times photographer Brian Jackson) seemingly yelling at Rod Blagojevich. The former Illinois governor had just exited Chicago's Dirksen Federal Building where he had entered a "not guilty" plea to a wide variety of corruption charges, including the allegation that he had attempted to market, for personal gain, the seat in the U.S. Senate left vacant when Barack Obama was elected President.
I was part of the media scrum (a correspondent for the "Chicago Tonight" show which airs on WTTW, one of Chicago's public television stations) that pursued Blago that day: and, to be quite frank, I only appear to be yelling at the disgraced former governor: in reality, I was trying to locate my camera operator who had disappeared into the crowd, nowhere to be seen.
A month short of three years after that picture was taken (it's recently been recycled as the cover art for Natasha Korecki's book "Only in Chicago"), Rod Blagojevich began serving a 14 year sentence at the Federal Correctional Center Englewood near Denver. I wasn't around to witness the denouement of his prosecution: I retired from television journalism at the end of 2009 and, as Garrison Keillor once put it, "moved up to radio".
Since November of 2010 I've been hosting WORT's "Anything Goes" show, bringing my listeners classical music every Thursday morning between the hours of 5 and 8.
To the greatest extent possible, I try to feature the work of local artists and composers, especially those who are younger. When necessary, I have the capability of recording interviews and performances in the field.
I hope you'll be able to join me each week. I also hope you can continue to provide WORT with the financial support that makes this kind of programming (which is obviously not for everyone) possible.
When I'm not on the air you can follow me via this blog, via Twitter, Facebook or my personal website.

Friday February 22, 12:15 pm at the First Unitarian Society, 900 University Bay Drive, Madison. The Noon Musicale: Four Seasons Theatre presents The Great american Songbook-George Gershwin Friday February 22, 7:30 pm at the First Unitarian Society, 900 University Bay Drive, Madison. The Mosaic Chamber Players. Mosaic Chamber Players is a Madison-area group of musicians who love to perform chamber music together and who strongly believe in bringing this wonderful art form to the Madison community. Our programs, instrumentation, and venues change with each new concert. This time out the violinist Laura Burns and pianist Jess Salek are performing the complete works for Violin and Piano by Johannes Brahms, a German Romantic composer, who wrote some of the most beautiful and treasured Violin Sonatas in all the literature. The program consists of three complete Sonatas as well as a separately composed Scherzo movement. The recital is Friday February 22 at 7:30pm at First Unitarian Society located at 900 University Bay Drive. Salek will be playing on a rebuilt Steinway from the 1890′s that only has 85 keys! Our tickets prices are $15 adults and $10 for Seniors and children. Check or cash only please. There will be a reception afterward with food, drink, and a chance to mingle. Friday February 22, 8 pm at the Overture center Capitol Theater, 201 State Street. The Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra with Tasmin Little, violin. Tasmin Little's reputation for English music and contemporary works prompted Maestro Andrew Sewell to suggest the two solo works on this program. A rare treat in the repertory, Finzi's Introit, Op.6 was originally composed as a slow movement for a violin concerto, and remains as a stand alone work. Pastoral in nature, and similar to Vaughan Williams in style, it makes a complement to Prokofiev's robust Violin Concerto No.2. Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 with the famous Air on the G String prepares a nice segue into Finzi's world of Baroque harmonies. We conclude with Gounod's Symphony No.2, a time of decision in the composer's life between the church and the stage, when he broke away from his operatic work to write two symphonies "just for fun." Steeped in the classical tradition at a time when it was considered passé, his gift for writing beautiful melodies is evident throughout this work. Repertoire BACH Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068 FINZI Introit for Solo Violin and Small Orchestra, Op. 6 PROKOFIEV Concerto No. 2 for Violin in G minor, Op. 63 GOUNOD Symphony No. 2 in E-flat major In ….

Music of Bach, Biber, Vivaldi and Scarlatti Friday, February 8, 7:30 pm (repeated Saturday 2/9, 8 pm and Sunday 2/10, 2:30 pm) at Overture Center-Overture Hall 201 State St. , Madison. The Madison Symphony Orchestra and Alban Gerhardt Works by Prokofiev, Ravel & Beethoven. John DeMain and the Madison Symphony Orchestra (MSO) welcome German cellist Alban Gerhardt to the MSO stage to play Prokofiev's expansive Sinfonia Concertante at the February 8, 9 and 10 concerts. Ravel's Rapsodie Espagnole will open the concerts with four scenes of Spanish life and Beethoven's lyrical Symphony No. 4 will lift winter spirits as a conclusion. Full concert details, music samples and links to buy tickets can be found on the MSO website at madisonsymphony.org/gerhardt. One of Prokofiev's last completed works, the Sinfonia Concertante is also called a Symphony-Concerto, with an expanded role for the orchestra and many of the characteristics that define the work of one of the great 20th century composers. Soloist Gerhardt recently said of the concerto, "written for and partly by one of my great heroes, Rostropovich, this is for me the most impressive cello concerto because it combines pyrotechnics with gorgeous melodies, wit with drama, and poetry with sports. And…the last five minutes are just the best, with the most spectacular ending of any cello piece." This will be Gerhardt's third performance with the MSO, of whom BBC Music Magazine recently wrote, "this is cello playing of exquisite sophistication and bold imagination…Gerhardt has a honeyed, liquid tone all his own." MSO program annotator Michael Allsen best describes the closing work: "The Symphony No. 4 is one of Beethoven's shorter and more 'Classical' symphonies, particularly in comparison to the massive works that surround it…the third ('Eroica') and fifth symphonies." In this gem audiences will hear all of the composer's lyrical brilliance and his sly good humor. The concerts take place in Overture Hall at 201 State Street on Friday, February 8 at 7:30 PM, Saturday, February 9 at 8:00 PM and Sunday February 10, at 2:30 PM. Concert tickets are $16.50 to $78.50, available at www.madisonsymphony.org and through the Overture Center Box Office at ….

At the age of 15, he won an interregional competition for emerging artists, organized by radio stations in northern Italy. After studying with the concert pianist Elizabeth Muller Vivanti and the composer John Paynter, Gueresi was the keyboardist for the band "Supergruppo," and his single, "Never Fall in Love" was in the top ten charts in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in 1983. His music, which he describes as "evocative of distant and fantastic times and places," is rooted in the classical tradition, but also in the pop romantic-symphonic sounds of the seventies. His work was featured in fashion shows, ballets, concerts, and soundtracks. "The Gates of Twilight" inspired by the French poet Arthur Rimabud, was donated Rimbaud's birth city, Charleville-Meziers.

The 42-inch, 720p 42PQ6000 is a fantastic plasma TV at a relatively recession-friendly price. It's attractive, boasts beautiful menus and offers excellent standard-definition picture quality. Its high-definition performance is slightly less impressive, but good nonetheless. Overall, we love this set Read more

I've tried it and personally didn't care for it.
Hi All,
I'm looking to buy Moschino pour homme due to its leather note and haven't smelled it yet because its only available online. Does it have a prominent leather note? Can it be a blind purchase. I love Dior Jules, Rochas Lui and YSL Kouros. I also like Caron Yatagan.
Thank you.
I've tried it and personally didn't care for it.
Moschino pour homme is the furtherest thing from a leather scent.....imo
I quite like it. It is akin to Bel Ami/Hermes in its style.
And the leather note is prominent to my nose.
Snarky is as snarky does.
I don't feel much leather in it, while I do recognize it is a good scent, but especially pronounced on the near-gourmand spicy notes.

3rd time lucky: Ase Utra Silencers. Anyone?
On the off chance that no one has had experience with the Sako silencer that I posted about earlier, as well as the SAI model I first asked about, I am now asking about another Finnish brand: Ase Utra, and their Dual rimfire silencer.
This is cheaper than the other two I've asked about but, if the blurb is to be believed, then it is well made. As always, any opinions on
Any wisdom out there?

Press release
from UNC Asheville News Services"Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War," a national traveling exhibition, will open at UNC Asheville's Ramsey Library on October 15. The exhibit examines how President Lincoln viewed the Constitution as applied to three intertwined crises of the Civil War—the secession of Southern states, slavery and wartime civil liberties.
Local elements, including diaries, portraits, and slave deeds showing how slavery and emancipation impacted Western North Carolina, have been added to the exhibit for its stay at UNC Asheville. The exhibit is free and will be open to the public whenever Ramsey Library is open, through November 16.
An opening reception for the exhibition will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. Monday, October 15, at Ramsey Library. At 7 p.m. UNC Asheville Visiting Assistant Professor of History Darin Waters will present a lecture, "Emancipation: A Crime Against Humanity," in Humanities Lecture Hall on the campus.Read the full article

Catholics for Romney Leadership Team Formed: Six Former Vatican Ambassadors Lead the Effort
We urge our fellow Catholics, and indeed all people of good will, to join with us in this full-hearted effort to elect Governor Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States
We are all called to advance the moral teachings of Christianity in the life of our country. Where the stakes are highest - in the defense of life, liberty, and human dignity - we have a duty to act that is greater and more urgent than allegiance to any political party.In the election of 2012, this conviction has united all of us - each a former ambassador of the United States to the Holy See - in support of Governor Mitt Romney's candidacy for president.
Fellow Catholics, We are all called to advance the moral teachings of Christianity in the life of our country. Where the stakes are highest - in the defense of life, liberty, and human dignity - we have a duty to act that is greater and more urgent than allegiance to any political party. In the election of 2012, this conviction has united all of us - each a former ambassador of the United States to the Holy See - in support of Governor Mitt Romney's candidacy for president. Whatever issues might dominate the presidential campaign from now until November, our concerns lie with fundamental rights, beginning with religious liberty. While the current administration has brought our first freedom under direct assault by imposing government mandates that completely disregard religious conscience, Governor Romney believes that freedom to live one's faith is essential to liberty and human fulfillment. And he has pledged himself to removing those federal mandates immediately. While the current administration has now put its weight on the side of those who propose to redefine the meaning of marriage itself, Governor Romney has stood firm in defending this sacred institution. In the White House, just as he did in the Massachusetts State House, he will defend the institution of marriage before the Congress, the courts, and the country. Where the current administration has shown its sympathy for the pro-abortion lobby, Mitt Romney will be a faithful defender of life in all its seasons. And he understands the special duty of people of faith to serve in this cause. As Governor Romney recently said, "From the beginning, this nation trusted in God, not man. Religious liberty is the first freedom in our Constitution. And whether the cause is justice for the persecuted, compassion for the needy and the sick, or mercy for the child waiting to be born, there is no greater force for good in the nation than Christian conscience in action." These are the words of a man we believe can be a great force for good in this nation. We are Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, but on this question we are united in faith and in action. We urge our fellow Catholics, and indeed all people of good will, to join with us in this full-hearted effort to elect Governor Mitt Romney as the next President of the United States.Please join our team by visiting here.

Judy, Judy, Judy: Did you doubt me? LOL Technically, it IS true. SS and Medicare are entitlements. But the word entitlement indicates that someone has contributed to something. Like a savings account. i.e That's my money and I'm entitled to it. But to call handouts to people who have not contributed anything to the betterment of this nation entitlements, is misleading. We should call it what it is. A 'HAND-OUT." or charity. Maybe we should change the narrative like the libs do. They are always making up names to hide what it really is. i.e. Pro-choice, which is really pro-abortion., That's why I never say pro-choice. I call it like it is. As I said before, political correctness is killing this nation. It is because of that, that. the culture in this country has changed. If you "soften" your words, people won;t recognize the sin. Baby - "fetus" homosexuallity - "alternate lifestyle" in charge of women's reproductive healthcare - "abortion." mistake - "sin" Let's get back to calling things for what they are. Maybe then we can get back this country. God bless.

Tom: The radicals of which we speak were training in Iraq. Not to mention the atrocities Saddam was inflicting on his own people. Don't get me wrong, I was not for going into Iraq. Our Holy Father Blessed JPII pleaded with Bush not to do it. I stand with the Holy Father. But Bush did go into Iraq and crying over spilled milk doesn't help. You will not sway me on this. The muslims have been at war with the US and the whole world for that matter since Abraham decided to bed Hagar (at Abraham's wife's request) which resulted in Ishmael's birth. And when Abraham gave the inheritance to Isaac, all hell broke loose. Even Thomas Jefferson had trouble with them. War was/is inevitable. There was and is no way we can avoid it. The time has come. God has lost His patience and we are in for a very bumpy, ugly ride. Pray that we will have the strength to endure our punishment. God bless.

Judy: I agree. I believe we are "entitled" to our SS & Medicare since we are the persons who paid for it. To me entitlement means on government payroll without contributing. If you remember, SS was in a trust at first. When FDR started it, people weren't living as long as they do now. That's why the age 65 was determined. It was totally voluntary and it wasn't taxable. But leave it to the Dems. to get their hands on it some way. Lyndon Johnson took SS out of the trust to add to the budget, in an effort to hide the national deficit. Ever since then Washington has been stealing the money for God knows what and of course, now we are in the mess that we are in. So now, the Dems. want to tax, tax, tax to get money from us to cover up their errors. God bless.

A moment of clarity here. The Muslim radicals that you referred to did indeed have a country of origin but it was NOT Iraq, the country we attacked, rather it was Saudi Arabia. -

Jo Ann: When it comes to SS and Medicare, they are an entitlement to me, if one has paid into it. If one paid into SS for over 40 years their hard earned money, with the thought that that money would be there for them, (kinda like a savings acct.) at the end of retirement, by way of a monthly check, then I think that person is entitled to their money. It was not a tax. It was money set aside for said person, "as long as they paid into it". Carl Rove talks about that in one of his books at length. And the kicker is, that Obama "borrowed" so much from SS, that now it can't make it the way it is. Rove said SS would have been fine, if Obama hadn't touched it. My kids will fall under the 55 yr. and younger. All 3 have started something a long while back, thinking this "talk" would come to fruition. And its has. It's not easy for our kids, grandkids, etc,. Our time shall not come again. If you can have me see that I am wrong here, please do. A self-employed person has the right to pay into SS or not. If he/she does, they receive benefits, (which are frugal and we have to pay for supplements besides, so I really don't see how we come out ahead). I think we should have been the self-employed person, and set up an account of our own, instead of letting Obama get his hands on our SS monies. Which by "our" of course I mean everyone.

Vance, I totally agree. I just put something on Deacon Keith's, Romney/Ryan article, to about the same affect. I think we both interpret them the same way, but..just vocalize individually, which is Good. There is Something, a Block, a Closed-Mindedness, if you will, to where conversation becomes at an impasse, a dead-end. And you are left hanging on a fragment in outer space! They have totally done a complete 180 degree turn about, and yet, you are in the same room with them; the same (space), and yet you are not. It is indeed an uncomfortable feeling. But to get rid of that feeling...and move on, and Not to take anything personally is the Goal. "Feelings are neither right nor wrong, they just are". I think when one applies that saying, Life becomes easier. Of Course, it is ACTING upon those feelings, as you know, that can be the problem or not. Keep posting! Sunday Blessings...

Tom: I believe it was the muslim radicals that gave us this despicable war. I didn't see OUR airplanes flying into any of THEIR buildings. The sooner you accept the fact that we DID NOT start this war, the more you will be at peace. And the sooner you accept the fact that this war will never end until our Lord comes back the better. It is all Bible prophecy. It was meant to be. We have gone too long doing as we please, offending God in every aspect of our daily lives and God has finally said "ENOUGH." God bless.

Just to be clear the Federal Governments entitlement of an Entitlement Program seems to be at odds with some of your correspondents definition. . A Federal Entitlement is an obligation of the government which is mandatory and legally obligated. It includes, but is not limited to, military pensions, federal employees pensions and ABSOLUTELY INCLUDES MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY (which is self-funding). It should never be confused with or discussed as if it was some money you might receive from your aunt on a birthday..

I've been watching the discussion trying to figure out the DIY City's wavelength.
I think part of what we see emerging on the local (neighborhood) Issues Forums hosted by E-Democracy.Org fit your model of citizen problem-solving. My experience is that at the very very very local level people will pick shovels and do stuff, while up the chain people prefer their tax dollars to do the work so they don't have to be bothered.
On my local neighborhood Issues Forum - http://e-democracy.org/se - we've had people start community garden efforts, ask if people want to do a blood drive and then promote it, suggest and then organize a volunteer lake clean-up (only to run into trouble getting connected to the right person in the parks department for permission), buy flower bulbs in bulk for their homes with some left over for public space, etc. Recently, a mugging at a new local light rail stop generated a flurry of activity: http://blog.e-democracy.org/posts/355
Anyway, since a number of you will be at Participation Camp, I thought I should say hello. If any of you would like to talk neighborhoods online to gather tips from 15 years on the front lines of e-participation, check out the two sessions I'll be leading or virtually note - http://e-democracy.org/if - for an existing Webinar and some links here: http://pages.e-democracy.org/Social_media_in_local_public_life
Steven Clift
http://stevenclift.com - A personal intro
Executive Director, E-Democracy.Org
Cityleft has worked together with Travelsharing.netsons.org to develop an open source website for car pooling.
Carpooling (also known as car-sharing, ride-sharing, lift-sharing and covoiturage), is the shared use of a car by the driver and one or more passengers, usually for commuting (Wikipedia).
However Travelsharing.netsons.org extended this approach to other forms of mobility such as biking, hiking, and so on.
The website is still at its beta version. Users should join to the community in order to translate contents in local languages.
To take part to this Travelsharing.netsons.org project visit:
Following yesterday's presentation and working group session with the City's IT Manager at OpenWebVancouver09, Luke Closs has setup a Google Group specifically focused on the Open Data component of Andrea Reimer's "Open Data, Open Standards, Open Source" motion.
You can join the group at http://groups.google.ca/group/vancouver-data/
I'd like to know if there is some web downloadable open source software or free service allowing to manage a barter system.
Here in my city we have a place where periodically people meet to exchange stuff.
A web service where everyone can show the stuff who's going to bring on the programmed meeting, and users can say they're interested in something or another, specifying what they'll offer in exchange for that, and eventually receiving answers like "that will be ok", or "no way man".
Not a system to "place" a real order, just a system to show the stuff you want to give out, and attract potential users interested in it. The "real thing" is always the periodic live meeting.
I wonder if something ready could be used for this, supporting photos, tags, votes, etc.
After I saw the huge success of @TamaleTracker I thought, we can't be the only people who could benefit from a real time messaging service like this. Why not utilize what Twitter has provided for me, a common data source that people are becoming more and more familiar with, combined with this technology and make it available for anyone who wants to create their own tamale tracker or other service to aggregate their followers content. So I created the Spotd service to do just that.
Spotd and its a free service that listens for @replies sent to a Twitter account and then relays those messages through itself. It's the same functionality as the Tamale Tracker but this can be used for anyone and anyone can set one up. Simply register a Twitter account to the Spotd service and any reply sent to the account will be retweeted.
In addition to being a bot for Twitter accounts, Spotd also is my try at creating a real time communication device for cities and towns across the world. I spend a lot of time walking around Chicago and see interesting things happen all the time - people getting arrested, car accidents, buildings on fire, bank robbery, protests and other news-worthy things. I tweet about them, but I wanted to create something to give people a common source of communication throughout their city to stay on top of things that are happening right now without having to wait for major media outlets to cover them. That's where the Spotd news service comes in, it is an aggregated, user-submitted news feed for interesting things going on - so far, I created accounts for @SpotdChicago, @SpotdLA, @SpotdSF and @SpotdNYC; with more to come and any user can create their own Spotd news service for their own city.
I hope you can see the value in this as much as I do, if you'd like more information, have any suggestions or would like to help me work on this, please feel free to contact me.

Hi All,
Open Gov NYC is running a workshop on collaborative policy building:
It's process-focused for now, but will hopefully lead to application development in the future.
I wanted to let share with the group a new project I just started working on this week using the same technology as the @tamaletracker (twitter.com/tamaletracker). I spend a lot of time walking around Chicago and always notice interesting things going on – from people getting arrested, to celebrity sightings and news-worthy events. I tweet about these sort of things, but have always thought it would be nice to have something or someone to tweet these to, a common data source and place to go for this sort of information. That's where @Spotd (twitter.com/spotd) comes in, it is an aggregated, user-submitted news feed for interesting things going on, specific to the city you live in - Chicago for now.
I, like many people, always want to be on top of things going on in Chicago (from the standpoint of locals) – this is the perfect way for people to stay updated on what's going on, right now, in their city. This includes and is not limited to crime reports, breaking news, celebrity sightings, traffic incidents, etc. Best of all with the support of Twitpic users can get actual footage of things that are happening instead of waiting for the major news networks to get out and report on them.
The functionality is the same as the @tamaletracker system. Users tweet a reply to @spotd when they witness said arrests, celebrity sightings and news-worthy events. The system then will relay their message through the http://twitter.com/spotd user account.
In the next couple days(I hope) I am going to whip up a web page and some more descriptive text about the service and make it more extensible than the built in Twitter functionality. As of now I only created an account for Chicago, however this can easily be expanded in a manner of minutes.
I hope you can see the value in this as much as I do, if you'd like more information or have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me.

I see a few new people have joined the Milwaukee/Open Data group. If that's you, would you mind introducing yourself with a reply here, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com?
What would you like to see being done on the web in Milwaukee?
FYI, we are also at www.creamcitizen.org.
Our project, http://suddenly.org , uses print publications, visual art, public gatherings, and conversation to pursue the same political forms and futures that DIYcity catalyzes with newer technologies. We publish books, present visual art, invite people to gather, eat, and talk together, and then we write about it and bring the conversation to new places and people. This activity has taken shape across a huge geography. From Sergio Pastor's suddenly post 10/3/08 http://suddenly.org/?p=593 : "Suddenly is not only an inquiry, but also an attempt to enact a new urban form of gathering and dispersal — a deliberate form aimed at the creation of a public, a publication. This new urban form [is] a directed attempt to take inspiration from the models and possibilities of the organization of resources provided by new urban patterns in order to take these new patterns seriously." From DIYCITY: "How can these technologies — Twitter bots, aggregators, social software, mobile apps — be applied to transform urban spaces, changing them from the centralized, hard-coded things they are today into finely-tuned, fluid, user-operated systems that are efficient, sustainable and fit for life in the 21st century?" Suddenly asks the same question, but of the older technologies of printed matter and physical gathering and conversation. I think the awesome common path ahead for us is to bring these older and newer technologies together in a a big robust ecology of self-inventing, shifting, morphing cities.
Transit Television Network, a subsidiary of Torstar (owner of Canada's biggest daily newspaper), has filed for bakruptcy.
In Milwaukee and other cities where it set up on buses, TTV seems universally loathed for reasons mentioned by this LA blogger: http://metroriderla.com/2006/12/03/transit-tv-how-we-hate-thee/
Worst of all, TTV has been an infection in public space. As a local rider puts it, TTV content screams one message over and over: "You are a Bus Rider; You are a Loser. This xxxxxx will save you from your misery. $19.95 and operators are standing by." Or a free PC by giving up your phone number and checking account number. Or the scams that came to us with the SAME actor, different names for the scams, but just call 800 xxx xxxx and your life will be turned around -- $500,000 from your home in one month. No one in their right minds would call such a number but that shouting sent a clear coherent message: You Are A Loser. And that message has pervaded bus service for the last decade.
My question: is there any way the existing hardware might be repurposed by creative groups to have a more publicly edifying message?

Klopfenstein on board for 2000-01 baseball season
Huntington, Ind.—Wauseon High School shortstop Aaron Klopfenstein, son of Rose and Tom Klopfenstein of Wauseon, Ohio, made his decision to play baseball for the Huntington College Foresters official recently, signing a letter of intent for the upcoming 2000-01 season.
In 23 games this season, Klopfenstein hit .398 with 23 RBI and was named an all-conference selection for the second straight year. He has a career batting average of .354 and holds the school record for hits in a year.
"We are thrilled that Aaron has decided to continue his education and play baseball at HC," said Huntington College men's baseball coach Mike Frame. "He has obviously had an outstanding high school career and we are looking forward to his impact on our team."
Frame said he will test Klopfenstein at both shortstop and second base leading up to the season. Regardless of his position, though, Frame believes Klopfenstein's speed, ability to swing the bat, and overall work ethic will provide a successful college career.
Huntington College is a member of the Mid-Central Conference in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes (NAIA), Division II. The Foresters finished 29-18 this season, capturing the MCC Tournament championship to earn a berth in the Region 8 tournament.
HC is a private, Christian liberal arts college located in Huntington, IN, with an enrollment of approximately 1,000 students. The Foresters compete in 14 intercollegiate sports for both men and women.

More than a decade has passed since the vault cracked open and we started learning how credit scores really work.
For years, the creators of the leading credit scoring formula, the FICO, didn't want consumers to know the scores existed, let alone what went into them. In early 2000, however, E-Loan started letting customers see their FICO scores. That free experiment was quickly shut down, but the secret was out.
Pressure from consumer advocates and lawmakers finally persuaded the FICO creators -- a company named Fair Isaac, now known simply as FICO -- to reveal later that year the 22 factors, grouped into five categories, that went into creating its scores.
We've been adding to our knowledge ever since. But all these years later I'm still hearing many of the stupid myths about credit and credit scoring that prevailed more than a decade ago, plus some that have sprung up since.
(This story was updated in April 2013. See"Don't fall for these 7 credit myths")
These myths aren't just annoying. Their prevalence is keeping people from understanding one of the most important numbers in their financial lives. Credit scores are used:
- By lenders, to determine whether you're approved for loans or credit cards, along with the interest rates and terms you get.
Liz Weston
- By insurers, to set premiums.
- By cell phone companies, to see who qualifies for a contract and who doesn't.
- By utilities, to determine whether you need to leave a deposit and how much.
- By landlords, to decide who gets apartments and rental houses.
Failing to understand credit scores and how they work, in other words, really can put a dent in your financial life.
Here are the seven most dangerous myths that need to be dispelled:
Myth No 1: "If you handle your finances responsibly, your credit scores will take care of themselves."
Fact: A credit score is not a financial-health score. It doesn't measure your income, assets or financial savvy. There are some behaviors that may be good for your wallet that aren't good for your scores.
Keep in mind that credit scoring formulas have one primary purpose: to help lenders gauge the likelihood you'll default, based on how you handle credit. If you stop using credit or use it in a way the formulas don't like -- using only one card, shutting down a bunch of accounts or maxing out your cards, even if you then pay them off in full -- your scores could suffer.
Myth No. 2: "Checking your credit hurts your credit scores."
Fact: Checking your own credit reports and scores does not affect your scores. Period.
A credit check could hurt you if you asked a friend at a bank or car dealership to pull your credit reports. Such transactions probably would be coded as "hard" inquiries, or as applications for credit, which could ding your scores.
But checking your own credit is otherwise a non-event.
This persistent myth is particularly destructive, because it discourages people from knowing what's going on with their credit reports and scores. Many reports contain serious errors that result in your being turned down for a loan or paying a much higher interest rate than you deserve. You need to visit AnnualCreditReport.com at least once a year to view your free credit reports from the three bureaus and dispute any serious errors. If you'll be in the market for a major loan, such as a mortgage or an auto loan, you'd be smart to buy your FICO scores from myFICO.com to see how lenders are likely to view your application and get tips from improving your numbers.
Myth No. 3: "Asking for lower limits will help your credit."
Fact: Having sizable credit limits is a good thing for your scores, as long as you don't use them to run up debt.
Lenders like to see a big gap between your available limits and the amount of credit you're actually using. A lower limit reduces that gap, which can be bad news for your credit scores.
Of course, if you can't trust yourself not to use your available credit, the damage to your credit scores may be the least of your worries. Otherwise, though, you probably should leave your credit limits alone.
Myth No. 4: "You need to carry a credit card balance to have good scores."
Fact: You don't need to be in debt or pay a penny of interest to have good credit scores.
Your credit reports and scores don't "know" whether you're carrying a balance or paying it off in full every month. That's because the balance reported to the credit bureaus typically is the balance from your last statement, not what was left over after you got that statement and paid the bill. So you might as well pay in full and save yourself the interest.
This myth encourages people to carry unnecessary debt, putting them at the mercy of credit card issuers and eroding their financial security.

Georgia Softball Team Oklahoma City-Bound
Last Friday, the #6 softball team (44-10) swept #11 Ohio State (47-11) (ironically the same school that the baseball team hopes to defeat on Friday in Regional play down in Tallahassee, FL) in the best two-out-three Super Regional in Athens and earned a trip to the College World Series for the first time in school history.
Today, their championship quest begins against #3 Washington (46-11) at 1pm on ESPN.
For those of you who have never had the chance to see the team play this year/ever, now is the chance to see what the team is all about. No matter how well the team does over the next few days, (as an FYI, like the baseball College World Series, the softball College World Series is also a double-elimination tournament of 8 teams) this has been an unbelievable season so far and most certainly is another wonderful reminder of just how amazing our athletic program is here at UGA.

RALEIGH -- A Department of Transportation executive attempted to clear up confusion Wednesday surrounding two false letters urging lawmakers to put funding for two highway toll road projects on the fast track.
The DOT told lawmakers how the mistake happened and made it clear they do not want to move forward with the projects until 2013.
Senators launched an investigation to figure out how two letters with false information could have gotten in their hands.
The letters sought to move forward this year with the Garden State Parkway in Gaston County and the Mid-Currituck Bridge on the coast.
"It was his signature on the letter, or what we thought to be his signature when it was presented to members," expressed republican Sen. Tom Apodaca. "So that's the real crux of this inquiry at this point, who signed the letter and why."
NCDOT Chief Operating Officer Jim Trogdon, who's signatures are on the letters, was participating in a military training exercise and unreachable when the misunderstanding happened. Trogdon told lawmakers Gov. Bev Perdue's advisor Pryor Gibson insisted having his signature on the letters.
"The document was originally signed by the deputy secretary for me, or it was proposed to be signed by her for me, however Gibson stated that it had to come from my signature," Trogdon explained to the senators.
Under a tight deadline from Gibson, Trogdon's staff used his electronic signature on the documents.
"None of our staff had any desire or indication that they were trying to mislead anyone," said Trogdon. "They thought it was factual based on its face value."
When Trogdon realized his position on the projects had been changed, he recalled the letters. He's not sure if Gibson was trying to pull a fast one.
"I have no idea on individual's motivations," reflected Trogdon.
Sen. Martin Nesbitt maintains senators always wanted to wait until next year to shell out $63 million for the projects.
"Implied that we were trying to mislead the members into thinking that they needed to do the money now, that was simply not the case," said Martin Nesbitt, a Democrat from Buncombe County.
Despite the confusion, Trogdon believes everyone learned an important lesson.
"Speed cannot take priority over accuracy," said Trogdon. "So if you cannot verify the accuracy, you must delay the implementation."
On Thursday morning, state senators expect to hear from Gov. Perdue's advisor Gibson.
They may also ask other DOT representative to address the situation.

An endangered Florida panther rescued as a kitten and raised in captivity has made a rare run back into the wild.
The sandy-colored, 120-pound panther cautiously poked its head out of the crate that wildlife officials drove Wednesday from northeast Florida to Palm Beach County, then it trotted out onto a gravel road in the Rotenberger Wildlife Management Area.
It built up speed with longer and longer strides, sprinting several hundred yards before veering off into the brush and disappearing.
"To see him run straight like that for such a distance and running free off into the woods makes everything worthwhile," said Dave Onorato, a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission scientist who opened the panther's crate.

The 2-year-old male panther and its sister were rescued by wildlife officials in September 2011 in Collier County after their mother was found dead. They have been raised at the White Oak Conservation Center in Yulee since they were 5 months old.
Only around 160 Florida panthers remain, and it's rare for the big cats to be cared for in captivity and then released. Only about 15 kittens or injured adult panthers have been treated at the center and released since it began working with the cats in 1986.
"Having him in the wild with the potential to contribute to reproductive output really is what we need for panther recovery," Onorato said.
The rescued siblings were raised in a series of increasingly larger pens fenced into the forest surrounding the center in northeast Florida. Human interaction was extremely limited, leaving the panthers to hone their instincts hunting rabbits, armadillos and deer released into their pens. Once they got big enough to take down larger animals, they were deemed ready to try their luck in the wild.
The female panther was released in Collier County in February. Like her brother, she's wearing a collar that allows researchers to track her movements.
The measure of success for her release will be whether she produces a litter of kittens, Onorato said.
The bar is lower for the male panther: surviving at least a year in a competitive landscape. Young males can be attacked and killed by larger, older panthers securing their territory. The home range of a male panther is about 200 square miles, an area the size of Disney World.
Instead of releasing the male into the panther's core population in southwest Florida, researchers took him to Palm Beach County to the eastern edge of known panther breeding grounds.
"By putting him in areas where we suspect there's low numbers of male panthers, we're trying to give him a little bit of a head start," Onorato said.
Panthers once roamed the entire southeastern U.S., but development has limited their habitat mostly to southwest Florida.
Vehicle strikes are blamed for most of the more than two dozen panther deaths reported last year. Seven panther deaths have been recorded so far this year, including five caused by vehicles.
