U.S. U-17 MNT QUALIFIES FOR SECOND ROUND OF WORLD CUP WITH TWO 1-0 VICTORIES IN NIGERIA: The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team has qualified for the Round of 16 of the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria after defeating Malawi and United Arab Emirates, both by a 1-0 scoreline. The U.S. will face Italy in their second round game on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 10 a.m. ET in Kaduna, Nigeria. Wilmer Cabrera's men bounced back from a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Spain to record a 1-0 win against Malawi thanks to an Alex Shinsky strike in the 54th minute. With qualification on the line, the U.S. defeated UAE 1-0 in their final group match behind a Jack McInerney goal in the 35th minute. The two wins gave the U.S. six points and a spot in the quarterfinals as second place finishers in Group E where they will face Group F winners Italy. Fans can follow the match at ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and www.twitter.com/ussoccer. In addition, the game will be shown live on ESPN360.com.

U.S. WOMEN'S NATIONAL TEAM DEFEATS GERMANY 1-0 IN AUGSBURG: Abby Wambach scored her 101st career goal on a header in the 34th minute and a world class performance by the U.S. defense made sure it held up for a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Germany in front of a sold-out crowd at Impuls Arena. Impuls Arena, a new venue which will host matches of the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, was sold out last week and 28,377 singing and chanting German fans filled the stadium to cheer for their defending European and Women's World Cup champions against the defending Olympic champions. It was the first international match at the stadium and also set a record for the largest crowd to see a match at the venue in its young history. The crowd was also the largest to see a stand-alone U.S. WNT friendly match outside of the USA, and the third-largest home or away crowd for a stand-alone friendly.
U.S. FORWARD ABBY WAMBACH ON SHORT LIST FOR 2009 FIFA WOMEN'S PLAYER OF THE YEAR: FIFA has announced the names on the short list for the 2009 FIFA Women's World Player of the Year and U.S. forward Abby Wambach is one of the 10 players so honored. Wambach, who scored the USA's lone goal in a 1-0 win against Germany on Oct. 29 in Augsburg, Germany, finished tied for second in scoring in Women's Professional soccer with eight goals, led her team to a strong finish down the stretch and a third-place finish in the regular season. Wambach scored her 100th career international goal in July against Canada in her hometown of Rochester, N.Y. The winner will be decided by a vote from the captains and head coaches of women's national teams from across the globe. The captains and coaches cannot vote for a member of their own team. Five finalists will be chosen according to the top vote-getters and FIFA will reveal the winner on Dec. 21, 2009, at the 19th FIFA World Player Gala in Zurich, Switzerland. The list of 10 candidates for the prestigious award includes five players who participated in the inaugural season of WPS, including three-time winner Marta of Brazil and the Los Angeles Sol, as well as three members of Germany's 2009 European Women's Championship team.The following ten women (in alphabetical order) are in contention for the title of 2009 FIFA Women's World Player 2009: Nadine Angerer (Germany), Sonia Bompastor (France), Cristiane (Brazil), Inka Grings (Germany), Mana Iwabuchi (Japan), Simone Laudehr (Germany), Marta (Brazil), Birgit Prinz (Germany), Kelly Smith (England) and Abby Wambach (USA).

STUDY SHOWS HOSTING WORLD CUP COULD BRING $5 BILLION TO U.S. ECONOMY: The USA Bid Committee released a study conducted by an independent consulting firm that estimates a conservative domestic economic impact of $5 billion if the United States is chosen to host the FIFA World Cup™ in 2018 or 2022. The analysis also estimates that between 65,000 and 100,000 total new jobs would be created in the various host cities during the preparation and operation of the tournament in the year of the event. The study was undertaken by the Economics practice at AECOM, formerly Economics Research Associates (ERA), the world's leading international sports and entertainment attraction consulting firm. The research firm previously conducted the economic and community impact analyses for the 1994 FIFA World Cup™ in the United States and multiple studies for the Olympic Games, beginning with the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

"Katharine's understanding of national and global media platforms as well as the importance of a sound, effective message is a welcome addition to an already strong board of directors for the USA Bid Committee," said Sunil Gulati, the Chairman of the USA Bid Committee and President of U.S. Soccer.

VETERAN PLAYER BALLOT ANNOUNCED AT THE NATIONAL SOCCER HALL OF FAME: Two FIFA Women's World Cup champions, two men from the 1990 FIFA World Cup squad, five North American Soccer League alumni, and a 7-time winner of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in the 1920s and 1930s are featured on the Election 2010 Veteran Player Ballot the National Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum announced today. Detailed information about each veteran player candidate is available on the Hall of Fame's website here.
PEAK PERFORMERS: The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team qualified for the second round of the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria. The team amassed a 2-0-1 record and collected six points en route to finishing second in Group E. In addition the team only conceded two goals and recorded two shutouts in its three group games.
MARQUEE MATCHUP: As a result of their qualification, the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team takes on Italy in the round of 16 of the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup. Italy won Group F with seven points finishing ahead of South Korea, Uruguay and Algeria. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. ET in Kaduna, Nigeria. Fans can watch the match on ESPN360.com or follow on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and www.twitter.com/ussoccer.
SOCCER SHOCKER: Even after losing to the U.S. in its final Group E match of the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria, UAE still advanced to the Round of 16 as one of the best third place teams – by the smallest of margins. UAE, Brazil and the Netherlands all finished group play equal on points, overall record, goals scored and goals against. The tie-breaker used to determine that UAE advanced was the "fair play rating" in which the number of yellow and red cards is evaluated. This is the last tie-breaker before the tournament organizing committee must resort to the final method of drawing lots.
QUOTABLE: "The Germans were very dangerous in their attacking runs, making smart runs and getting crosses in, but we did well. We were aware of where our players were and tried our best to always be touch-tight and marking in the box. Overall, they did have a few chances here and there, but we did very well with such a strong attacking force." –U.S. Women's National Team defender and Woman of the Match Rachel Buehler(aka, die Buehldozer) on the team's performance in Augsburg, Germany

Bread capitals
Anna Louise Batchelor:
I'm just back from a trip to Norfolk where I enjoyed travelling and eating my way round the beautiful county. I walked along stunning coastlines, visited pretty market towns and was bowled over by bread. Yes bread! 'Real Bread' made with only four ingredients; flour, water, yeast (or sourdough) and salt. This is bread with crusts on, with flavour but without artificial improvers, E numbers or a whole long list of words that you can't even pronounce.

A website to watch
Lynda Brown:
I'm not the biggest fan of websites - I skim them when I need to, get infuriated when I can't click on instantly to the only bit I want, can't bear banal chit chat, and actually much prefer thoughtful, joined up writing that gives me interesting information written in an engaging but focused way. My pet hate are food websites with no real content, written in simpering prose, padded out with snippets gleaned from press releases or gushing recommendations from some press trip or other, not to mention all those "delicious", "simple " fake recipes full of ingredients you haven't got and you're never going to make. Moi, cynical? You bet.

Press Statement On Commemorating Ten years of the ICC in Uganda
1st July, 2012
Kampala, 1st July 2012 – Today marks an important day for international criminal justice. The ICC Field Outreach Office, Uganda Coalition on the International Criminal Court (UCICC) and Avocats Sans Frontières (ASF) join the rest of the world in celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Rome Statute and the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Since its establishment in 2002, the ICC has symbolised a commitment on behalf of the international community to end impunity for gross violations of human rights and provide justice to the victims of such crimes.
On 17th July 1998, the Rome Statute was adopted at a diplomatic conference in Rome, and entered into force on 1st July 2002. The Statute provides for the Court's jurisdiction, which is primarily to investigate and prosecute the core international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression where states are unable or unwilling to do so themselves. Over 121 states are signatories to the Statute and 32 countries are still to ratify it.
In 2004, the ICC's Office of the Prosecutor initiated an investigation into the situation in Uganda. Warrants of arrest were issued for the highest-ranking Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) commanders. The LRA operated in Northern Uganda since 1986, and the conflict has since spread to South Sudan, Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), causing instability in the region.
The 10th anniversary of the Rome Statute comes at an important time for the ICC, as this year also marked its first verdict against former commander Thomas Lubanga who was convicted of enlisting and conscripting child soldiers and using them to participate in hostilities in the DRC. The UCICC, ASF and ICC Field Outreach Office commend the ICC for its work thus far and for the steps it has taken to ensure that justice rather than impunity prevails in the world.
We continue to call upon;
1) All State Parties to the Rome Statute to proactively support the International Criminal Court in the exercise of its mandate to fight against impunity in the world.
2) All State Parties to the Rome Statute to prioritize their obligations under the instrument and assist the Court to execute all outstanding arrest warrants in the different situation countries.
3) All supra natural bodies such as the African Union and the East African Community to support the work of the Court on the African Continent and take steps towards ensuring that the African Region champions the fight against impunity.
4) All State Parties to the Rome Statute to align their national investigatory, prosecutorial, judicial and legal systems with the aspirations of the Rome Statute system so as to demonstrate their national commitment towards bringing perpetrators of grave crimes to justice.
5) All States Parties to domesticate the Rome Statute into their national laws to ensure that those who are responsible for perpetrating heinous crimes can and will be held accountable.
6) All Governments who have yet to ratify the Rome Statute to do so in order to ensure justice for victims of grave crimes.
Dated at Kampala this 1st day of July, 2012

Last week, in the course of my daily folk art search on Etsy, I stumbled upon something exciting: something better than old needlework, more interesting than your typical duck sculpture. This was a cache of the most amazing rings I'd ever laid eyes upon, and there had to be a story behind them.
I wrote to the shop owner, Constance, in the hopes of finding out more info. The story just got better. In fact, it went back over seventy years, to the days when the rings' handy creator, Bob Dodd, was a sailor. According to Constance:
Bob said that when he started as a sailor in 1937, making rings from celluloid was a crafty thing to do, but few people made more than one or two because the process was so time consuming and labor intensive. Each of these intricate rings was made by hand — without the use of molds or melting — by cutting up raw materials such as old celluloid toothbrushes, hand mirrors, vanity trays, combs, piano keys, guitar picks, umbrella handles, pocket knife handles, accordion pieces. (Bob said he once even used a piece from the windshield of a helicopter or small plane.) These pieces are then filed, pieced together, and filed again. This process can take a master craftsman a day or more to complete.
Today Constance is selling a portion of her collection of Bob's rings, in the hopes of funding efforts to make them herself. Bob was a true folk art hero, and I can only hope to own one of these elaborate pieces someday.

A virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses can also replicate themselves. All computer viruses are manmade. A simple virus that can make a copy of itself over and over again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and bypassing security systems. Some people distinguish between general viruses and worms. A worm is a special type of virus that can replicate itself and use memory, but cannot attach itself to other programs. Source/Reference got feedback? by redxii edited by nozero

A new housing project will bring 60 new senior apartments to Henrietta by June 2013. Sheen Housing held its groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for Calkins Corners. As aging baby boomers near retirement, there's an increasing demand for senior housing.
Jean Cain has her eye on a new senior apartment.
"I love Henrietta, I've been here all my married life, I'm used to it, I want to stay here," she said.
Like many other seniors who attended Wednesday's groundbreaking ceremony, Jean is looking to trade in a home that no longer fits her needs,
"I just want to be on one floor because of the stairs."
All while maintaining the freedom of independent living.
"You have the freedom to come and go, I still drive my own car, so it's nice."
Sheen Housing, a non-profit foundation, is constructing a 60-unit apartment building for independent seniors. It will include 48 one-bedroom units, 12 two-bedrooms, and an easily accessible community and laundry room.
"There's actually a substantial need in Henrietta for this type of housing," said Patrick Cusato, Sheen board member.
It's a need shared not only by seniors, but the children who worry about their safety.
"She fell down the stairs about a year ago and no one was there, and it took a while for her to be able to call me. We do worry about her so we want her around other people," said Linda Diamond, Henrietta.
The housing project, led by Henrietta based LeChase Construction, will offer subsidized rates.
"These units will rent from $570 and up and really dependent upon the income level of the senior," said Cusato.
With 150 seniors already on the waiting list, the units are going to fill up fast. Calkins Corners is located right behind the Wegmans Plaza, providing seniors with the accessibility and freedom to live and shop on their own.
"I'd rather be in my own place," Cain said.
The blueprint alone was enough to get Jean on the wait list. Since losing her husband, Jean has embraced the independent life and prefers not to live with her children.
"I wouldn't want to intrude, they have their own life but I don't mind being alone."
But developers say with the close-knit design of this project, she will be in good company.

Serves four.
The classic Chinese technique of velveting (marinating in a cornstarch-egg white mixture and then blanching in oil or water) keeps the chicken or shellfish tender and juicy. Assemble all of your ingredients for the stir-fry before you start the velveting process. Serve the stir-fry with rice or with Chinese egg noodles or fettuccine. If using noodles, cook a half pound until al dente before you begin to stir-fry. Toss the hot noodles with a little salt and a tablespoon of oil to keep them from sticking; stir them into the stir-fry just before adding the sauce.
In a small dish, combine the garlic, ginger, scallion, and chile flakes; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, zest, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and stock; set aside
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 2 Tbs. oil; swirl to glaze the pan. Reduce the heat to medium high. Add the aromatics and stir gently until fully fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds, adjusting the heat so they foam without browning. Add the onion and leek and toss until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat so they sizzle without scorching and adding a bit more oil if needed to prevent sticking. Add the asparagus and bell pepper; sear and toss until just half-cooked, about 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and toss just until it wilts. (If serving with noodles, add them now.)
Stir the lemon sauce and add it to the pan. Toss to combine, raising the heat to bring the sauce to a simmer. Fold in the velveted chicken or shellfish. Stir the cornstarch mixture to recombine and pour it into the pan. Continue stirring until the sauce turns glossy, about 15 seconds, and then turn off the heat. Serve immediately on a bed of rice (unless you've added noodles).

by Jason123, 3/22/2009i really liked the velveting technique which produced a very succulent chicken, however, the sauce was overwhelmingly tart and lemony for my taste, and didnt have an authentic asian flavour.
by Rawfish, 10/17/2008This is the recipe where I learned velveting. I can't imagine not velveting chicken for my stir fries. The difference is astounding. BTW use water, not oil for the blanching; it tastes better. The rest of the recipe is excellent although the prep is more tedious than usual for a stir-fry, and the cooking parts should be followed faithfully. For this dish actually works best; my usual just toss it all in and cook as little as possible isn't as good. Great job on this one. I must have made it 100 times in the last 10 years.

Describes the faculty mostly as:
Overall, class sizes at Maryville are small. Teachers will get to know you well, especially in your own major. Most students commute. However, small class sizes, and limited sections of upper level courses make it easy to get to know people in your same major. Female students outnumber males by a ratio of about 6 to 1, although this is beginning to even out. The student population is pretty homogeneous, but people are friendly enough. Nursing, PT, and OT programs are good, and very popular. Campus is nice, but tiny.
Professors will help you make job connections, but you will need to keep bugging them about it. I was required to do an internship to get my degree. I used my faculty connections to find one, and that organization went on to hire me part-time.
I had a somewhat happy experience at Maryville. If you are applying as an undergrad, please note: there aren't many student organizations/activities offered. Residents find little to do on campus during weekends. You'll find everything you want in St. Louis, but you will have to drive 20 minutes from campus to find it. If you don't have a car, good luck to you. Options for public transportation in the suburbs are scarce.

When the Kroger store opened at Northgate shopping center in Frayser 58 years ago, the store gave away a Shetland pony.
When the store closed Tuesday, Feb. 18, it was the last of the original tenants in a center whose changing fortunes mirror those of the blue-collar suburb still feeling the loss of its blue-collar jobs.
By the end of this year, Kroger will have spent between $150 million and $200 million on upgrades, fixes and renovations at its Memphis-area stores.
That investment is one example among many in the Memphis area of how the stiff competition among grocers and similar retailers is playing out as they make grabs for bigger slices of the customer pie.

NEW YORK (AP) – Ducking into a dollar store to pick up some a soda and bag of cookies might save you time and effort, but will you save any money?
Since the start of the downturn, major chains such as Dollar General Corp. and Family Dollar Stores Inc. have accelerated their growth by transforming stores with wider aisles, better lighting and more name brands. The result is that they're shedding their image as depots for misfit merchandise and pulling in a wider range of shoppers.

CINCINNATI (AP) – Tyson Fresh Meats Inc. is recalling about 131,300 pounds of ground beef – including some sold in the Memphis area and other parts of The Kroger Co.'s Delta Division – because a family in Ohio fell ill after eating meat produced by the company that was contaminated with E. coli, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported Wednesday.

Optimism is in the eye of the beholder in the commercial real estate industry. In a city plagued with high vacancies and scarce speculative development, investors have Memphis on its radar – and Memphis should too.

Retail sales are looking bright this year, a sign that the pendulum of consumer confidence is swinging back in the right direction.
Holiday sales are anticipated to increase a modest 3.3 percent this year – adjusted from 2.3 percent in November – according to the National Retail Federation (NRF). This year's uptick follows 2008's 3.9 percent decline and also tops the 10-year average holiday sales increase of 2.5 percent.
A recently approved plan for a Family Dollar development on Highland could very well set the tone for peer retailers looking to come to the area.
Marketplace Development LLC purchased the northeast corner of Highland Street and Spottswood Avenue for $525,000 for a proposed freestanding 8,100-square-foot Family Dollar Stores Inc. development. A $1.2 million construction loan was taken out at the time of the sale.

NEW YORK (AP) – Dollar stores, which now sell everything from beauty products and turtlenecks to peanut butter, soft drinks and ice cream, are increasingly popular and can be rewarding places to shop, but they also can be overwhelming.
From its days as a horseracing track in the latter half of the 19th century, the Mid-South Fairgrounds has a long and captivating history, including a fair share of disputes over the best uses for the sprawling property that sits in the middle of Memphis.
Whether a building is flat, sloped or steep, be it shingled or rubberized, Harrison Wholesale has the materials to roof it.
This Binghampton business at 2680 Broad Ave. specializes in shingles and anything else needed for a roof, including some guidance for the do-it-yourselfers.
The Dollar General Literacy Foundation plans to award $4.9 million in grants to 327 nonprofit organizations in an effort to fight illiteracy.
This year's grants will serve about 75,000 individuals and families in 35 states where Dollar General operate stores.
Matthew Threadgill describes himself as a salesman who slipped through engineering school.
His education background makes that seem hardly the case - he graduated in 1991 from the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University, a program often ranked high by U.S. News & World Report. Threadgill, who is the general manager of Liberty Building Systems, does admit that sales and engineering are an odd combination.
Fred Montesi III, a member of the well-known Memphis grocery family, was one of the first Blockbuster franchise holders in the United States.
He opened the video rental company's first store in Memphis in the late 1980s, later growing his Blockbuster franchise operation into one of the largest in the country.
Memphis' Main Street has a lot going for it. The Pinch District on North Main has history. The South Main Arts District is hosting the Vesta Home Show. And the block of Main from Union and Gayoso avenues, often referred to as the New Main area, also is seeing a flurry of development.
There were stirring speeches, appeals to patriotism, roars of approval and a massive call to arms. But last week's large-scale, well-coordinated immigration rally Downtown was just as noteworthy for the things that weren't said during the afternoon spectacle.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — One night after an emotional homecoming for their coach, the Golden State Warriors used all their physical reserve to pull out a third straight win on the road.
David Lee had 24 points and 17 rebounds, Klay Thompson added 23 points and the Warriors beat the Washington Wizards 101-97 on Saturday night. Golden State has won the first three games of a road trip for the first time since February, 2003.
"Physically playing in this league is draining. Fatigue sets in and the good teams have a way of telling their bodies: 'hold off until later. We've got to find a way to get a win,'" Warriors coach Mark Jackson said.
Golden State led for nearly all the game, but the pesky Wizards kept challenging.
Stephen Curry scored 22 points for Golden State, which has four more games on its longest road trip of the season. The Warriors are 13-7 overall, the first time they've been six games over .500 since the end of the 2007-08 season.
That doesn't matter to Jackson, in his second season with Golden State. He claimed not to take any special joy in winning in Brooklyn just a few blocks from where he played high school ball. Jackson is trying to change the culture of a team that's won more than it lost just twice in the last 18 seasons.
"I understand the fans and the organization and the history of this team, but that's not my history, so this team — our history is last year and this year," Jackson said.
Washington (2-15) was led by Jordan Crawford, who had 22 points, seven rebounds and eight assists, tying a season high for points and assists. Bradley Beal scored 17 points, Kevin Seraphin and Cartier Martin both had 14. All of Martin's points came in the second quarter. Martin did not attempt a shot in the second half.
The Wizards lost their first 12 this season, then won two of three, including an improbable victory over Miami on Tuesday before a flat performance at Atlanta on Friday.
Washington sustained another injury to a point guard. Playing all this season without John Wall because of a left knee injury, backup A.J. Price fractured his right hand four minutes into the game and will be lost four to six weeks.
"I knew I hurt myself right away, but I was going to try and play through it, came down I think the next possession and tried to throw the crosscourt pass and really couldn't get anything behind it," Price said.
"I figured if I can't pass, then I'm just going to hurt my team."
The Wizards have none of the four point guards they began training camp with. Wall, who was originally supposed to be back in late November, has yet to practice. Two others, Jannero Pargo and Shelvin Mack, were cut.
Unless Washington makes a roster move, Crawford and Shaun Livingston are the only point guards around.
The biggest concern for the Wizards was rebounding. Golden State had a huge 57-37 advantage.
"I think really the big difference obviously tonight being we got just hammered on the boards," coach Randy Wittman said.
The Wizards pulled into an 84-all tie when Chris Singleton hit one of two free throws with 4 minutes to play, but Golden State outscored Washington 9-1 on five points by Thompson, a jumper by Jarrett Jack and a layup by Lee to take a 93-85 lead with 2:19 to play.
Beal hit a 3-pointer with 8.2 seconds left to allow Washington to pull within 97-96. Curry hit two free throws, and Beal was fouled with 4.2 seconds to play. He hit the first, deliberately missed the second, Nene tipped the ball to Beal, whose shot missed badly. Carl Landry hit two free throws with 2 seconds left to seal it.
"We have one agenda — to win and make a deep run in the playoffs," Thompson said. "Last year we talked about playing defense. This year, we're actually out there doing it."
The Warriors, winners of 10 of their last 12, are now 6-1 against the East.
NOTES: Wizards F Trevor Ariza missed his second straight game with a strained left calf. F Trevor Booker his seventh straight with a right knee injury. When asked before the game if there was an update on Trevor, Wittman joked: Which one?" ... Golden State F Richard Jefferson, who missed his 10th straight game with a strained right calf, says he's nearing a return. ... Warriors rookie F Draymond Green fouled out with 16.1 seconds to play. It was Golden State's second disqualification of the season. ... Thompson tied his career high with five 3-pointers.

Military Bastions
December 18, 2012
The election is behind them and the holidays are here, but Americans are in a dour mood about the future, particularly where the economy is concerned. More than half of them, 53%, think the country is headed in the "wrong direction" and more than a quarter, 28%, say they expect the economy will be worse next year than it is now, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC poll.
Those numbers won't likely bring smiles to the White House, but what they actually mean and represent requires a little digging.
Four years of economic ups and (mostly) downs seem to have taken a toll on the traditionally sunny American perspective. And, as one might expect, there is subdued enthusiasm for a year ahead that essentially returns an unpopular status quo to Washington to govern.
But there are also deep partisan divides in evidence in this poll. And there is at least some evidence that those attitudes are having an exaggerated effect on how those people perceive the...
December 6, 2012
Over the past few decades the Republican Party has been a kind of three-legged stool, supported by three key elements – an abiding belief in cutting government and taxes, a strong advocacy of social conservative issues and a solid commitment to a strong national defense. Those issues helped build a winning coalition that included tax-cut favoring suburbanites, Christian conservatives and defense hawks.
But the last few elections suggest some of those legs may be getting a little rickety – particularly the one built on national defense.
In Patchwork Nation, the shift has been particularly noticeable in the counties we call Military Bastions. Those counties tend to be located near military bases and have large numbers of soldiers, veterans and military contractors. And in the last two elections now – elections that might be considered largely post-Iraq War – the GOP has seen its advantage in the Bastions shrink from double digits to low single-digit...
November 19, 2012
Hyperbole is a staple of Washington political discourse – particularly on the negative side. Speeches are full of references to "disasters" and "catastrophes" that are lurking just around the corner. But sequestration, the much-discussed "fiscal cliff," is the rare case where the hazards on the horizon look very real and very far-reaching.
The impact of the cuts that would come if the government cannot reach a compromise on a debt reduction plan by January – more than 8% in discretionary funding by estimates – would stretch far beyond the Beltway.
When voters think of government austerity, the talk often centers on the halls of congress or the federal agencies that line the Mall in Washington, but that misses the point. The money that comes out of the capital finds its way into cities and towns across the country — and cutting it sharply would affect not only the national macroeconomy, but thousands of smaller...
November 5, 2012
Of all the toss-up states left in the 2012 campaign, Virginia may be the most difficult to get a read on. Driving across the complex mix of communities, economies and politics is like driving through several different states.
The growth and increasing power in the moderate, left-leaning suburbs of Washington, D.C., has pushed the state more firmly into the battleground column in the past few elections. But it doesn't take long to get into territory dominated by socially conservative evangelical voters or to reach the state's socially liberal college center and the large pockets of military and veteran voters on the southern shore.
Somewhere in that mix is a formula of support, turnout and enthusiasm for President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney that will determine who will carry Virginia and its 13 electoral votes. But as polls have shown, figuring which way the state will break is not easy and with just...
October 19, 2012
The story of Mitt Romney's gender gap issues are well-known to most by now. Since he locked down the Republican nomination this spring, the former Massachusetts governor's struggles with winning women voters have been chronicled in a slew of polls showing he has nearly a double-digit deficit with them.
But as we have noted in this space, it's not really as easy as saying that Mr. Romney has a "women problem." Women represent more than half of the U.S. population and more than half of the electorate. They are hard to characterize as a single voting bloc.
When you look at the gender gap through the filter of Patchwork Nation's breakdown of 12 different kinds of counties, it dissolves – or at least grows murkier.
In counties where Mr. Romney does well overall, he wins the "women's vote" – by large margins in some places. In places where he generally struggles, he loses among women badly. But he also has a...
October 15, 2012
Every few years America's major political parties get very interested in getting people registered to vote – or maybe more accurately, in getting the "right" people registered to vote.
It's a lot easier to come up with a winning hand on Election Day when the deck is stacked in your favor. So, for months now, supporters of President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney have been knocking on doors and standing corners trying to register like-minded people. In a close election every vote may count, particularly in the swing states.
To get an idea of who's ahead in the registration game, Politics Counts looked at the tallies in key states where voters register as Democrats or Republicans – Colorado, Iowa, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. We then compared those figures to previous voter registration counts in 2008 and 2004.
Who's winning? That depends on the state you look at and the...

Since the beginning of the Great Recession, unemployment has driven much of the national conversation, and with good reason. Even as the stock market has recovered, the struggles of ordinary Americans in the job market continues, with the latest unemployment report showing the jobless rate finally dipping below 8 percent for the first time since early 2009.
But what does the unemployment conversation look like?
While the national media and campaign rhetoric often boil the issue down to numbers or anecdotes, it is a much broader topic that carries with it a host of different concerns and fears in people — losing one's pension, losing one's home, losing one's future.
To get an understanding of just how different those conversations are, the Jefferson Institute analyzed 20 months' worth of blogs, news stories and story comments in communities around the country, focusing on three crucial presidential swing states: Florida, Ohio and Virginia. We combed...
May 29, 2012
With Memorial Day on everyone's minds, veterans and the military vote have become a more serious focus in the 2012 campaign. In the last few weeks, President Barack Obama has reached out to military voters on the Web and on TV with the aim of slicing away pieces of what has been a reliable part of the Republican base.
Since the Cold War, the GOP's reputation for being the party of a "strong national defense" has generally won it loyal and crucial support from active duty soldiers and veterans. In 2004, President George W. Bush won the veteran vote by a solid 16 percentage points and that was campaigning against a decorated Vietnam veteran in Sen. John Kerry.
But in 2008 that margin shrank. Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain still won the veteran vote, but by only 10 percentage points. And in 2012 Mr. Obama looks eager to cut into that difference even more.
The most recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll shows that presumptive Republican...

HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. | Memorial Day weekend will feel a little different this year than any in the past decade in this small town in southwestern Kentucky.
After years of seeing thousands of local soldiers deployed from nearby Fort Campbell, Memorial Day 2012 finds most of the community's transient citizens home, present and accounted for. And that has had some big impacts on the area emotionally and economically.
The recession that has rocked the nation is playing out a little differently in Hopkinsville, a Military Bastion in Patchwork Nation's demographic/geographic breakdown of counties.
The effects of the economic downturn were accentuated in some ways by the upheaval of a steady stream of troop deployments and re-deployments, as tens of thousands of soldiers were often missing from the area's population -- and its retail establishments. In recent months, the economic recovery has been reinforced and sped along with the return of those men and women from overseas...

If you were searching for a one-word description for the American electorate in 2012, or even in the past few elections, "volatile" would almost certainly be on your short list. Looking at the results from the recent elections is enough to give you a case of whiplash.
Big Democratic wins in 2006 and 2008 gave way to a GOP landslide in 2010 and it all sets the table for what most believe will be a close presidential race this fall.
Those are some serious mood swings, but they're not completely surprising when you consider the economic troubles that have been rocking the U.S. in recent years. Volatile times make for volatile voters – and that is particularly true it seems for some places.
Working with data from the Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, Patchwork Nation has broken its 12 county types into three broader groups – Core Democratic Counties, Core Republican Counties and Competitive Counties. Month-to-month numbers slow fluctuations in all...

Bobby Brown crashed – with his feet firmly under him – into the freeskiing world by winning a 2009 Dew Tour stop in his hometown of Breckenridge. Since then he has risen as one of the best slopestyle freeskiers around. (Sarah Brunson/U.S. Freeskiing)
It was a U.S. podium sweep at the historic debut of men's slopestyle skiing in the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games Thursday, when Joss Christensen took the first-ever gold medal with Gus Kenworthy earning silver and Nick Goepper bronze.

Gus Kenworthy claimed a spot on the first-ever U.S. Olympic team for slopestyle skiing Saturday with his second-place finish at the final event of the Visa U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix Tour at Park City.
Alex Schlopy landed two incredible runs in front of his hometown crowd to take the victory Friday at the fourth slopestyle Olympic qualifier at the Visa U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix, while Bobby Brown finished second and secured his Olympic team spot.
A potent storm at the Sprint U.S. Grand Prix at Breckenridge forced a jury decision to cancel Friday's Visa U.S. Freeskiing slopestyle skiing finals, resulting in wins for Bobby Brown and Keri Herman based on qualifier results.
The nation's leading freeskiing athletes continue the battle for Olympic team spots Jan. 8-12 when the Visa U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix presented by The North Face heads to Breckenridge for the third of five Olympic qualification events.
Nick Goepper sealed the top spot and took home the Dew Cup at the first-ever slopestyle skiing Olympic qualifier final at Dew Tour iON Mountain Championships on Sunday.

C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Regatta preview
Wed, 8 May 2013
The C. Thomas Clagett Jr. Memorial Clinic and Regatta will be held from June 27-30 2013. Building on a decade of success in providing training and competitive racing opportunities for sailors with disabilities the Clinic and Regatta will be held for the 11th consecutive year at Sail Newport's facility in Fort Adams State Park.
Collectively, six medals have been won at the Paralympic Games (2008 and 2012) by veterans of The Clagett, which has a well-earned reputation as North America's premier event for sailors with disabilities. As additional confirmation of the event's significance for US sailors, this year The Clagett has been designated as the qualifying event that determines the four SKUD-18 sailors (two teams) that will become members of the 2013 US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider. Open to both U.S. and foreign competitors, the clinic and regatta utilize the same equipment chosen for the Paralympic Games: the three-person Sonar, two-person SKUD-18 and the singlehanded 2.4 Metre. As sailing is one sport that provides a more balanced playing field, both the Sonar and 2.4 Metre classes accept able-bodied sailors to compete in The Clagett. Having able-bodied sailors in the fleet intensifies the level of competition which translates to better training opportunities for the Paralympic hopefuls.
The Clagett has not only succeeded in its core mission of providing sailors with disabilities the tools to improve their skills and the opportunity to test them in competition, it also has proven to have a positive impact on the participant's quality of life by assisting each individual in achieving their personal competitive goals.
The event's signature pre-race clinic (Thursday, June 27) is run by world champion and Olympic sailors who share their expertise on boat handling, sail trim, strategy and racing rules, and is followed by racing Friday through Sunday, June 28-30. Spectators can watch the competition – racing takes place between Rose and Goat Islands – from the western shore of Goat Island.

Mr. and Mrs. Leon D. Price recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at a catered picnic hosted by their daughters, Leanne, Laura, Jean and Janell, and their families, held at the home of Jean and John Mahaney. A special feature of the event was "The Star Spangled Banner," sung by 3 1/2-year-old Daniel Herring and his brother, 2- year-old Matthew Herring.
The former Frances Koch of East Islip, Long Island, and Leon Price of Dunkirk met at Fredonia State Teachers College in 1957 and married at St. Mark's Church on Long Island on Aug. 20, 1961. Wedding attendants included David Price of Dunkirk, best man for his cousin; matron of honor Helen Bracciale of Bohemia, N.Y., sister of the bride; William and Richard Koch, brothers of the bride; Jo Bracciale, flower girl, and Donald Koch, ring bearer, niece and nephew of the bride, respectively.
The couple began their teaching careers in Norwalk, Calif. After receiving their master's degrees from the University of Oregon at Eugene, they relocated to Laramie to continue post graduate work at the University of Wyoming, while working for the Albany County School District. In 1969, they and their two daughters moved to Dunkirk, where Mr. Price was an elementary school principal until his retirement in 1995. Two more daughters were born at Brooks Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Price was a substitute teacher in area schools until becoming guidance counselor in the Silver Creek Central School District in 1983.
