Don't blink, you might miss the first meteor shower of the year.
The high-powered Quadrantid meteor shower should peak just before dawn Thursday with a maximum number of meteors per hour of about 80.
The meteor shower is expected to "last only a few hours," according to NASA.com.
The meteors are believed to be a piece of comet that broke apart centuries ago. The fragments will enter the Earth's atmosphere at 90,000 mph, burning up 50 miles above Earth's surface, according to NASA.
But Mother Nature and mankind are working against would-be Quadrantids viewers in the greater Los Angeles area.
If the lights of the city don't outshine the meteor shower, the glowing moon could. The meteor shower is peaking while the moon is in its bright gibbous phase, according to Space.com.
The shower could be best spotted ar Will Rogers Beach and Will Rogers State Park, or Temescal Canyon.
Viewing tips from NASA:
- To view Quadrantids, go outside and allow your eyes 30-45 minutes to adjust to the dark.
- Look straight up, allowing your eyes to take in as much of the sky as possible.
- You will need cloudless, dark skies away from city lights to see the shower.
Like most meteor showers, Quadrantids is named for the constellation from which it appears to radiate. However, Quadrantids' constellation no longer exists. The constellation Quadrans Muralis, or Mural Quadrant, was created by the French astronomer Jerome Lalande in 1795 and was located between the constellations of Bootes the Herdsman and Draco the Dragon.
When the International Astronomical Union devised a list of 88 modern constellations in 1922, it did not include Quadrans Muralis. So the meteor shower retained its name, though the constellation was rendered obsolete.
These days, Quadrantids radiates from an area inside the constellation Boötes, near the Big Dipper.
If you can't get to a dark enough location in the city, you can watch a Ustream feed of the meteor shower on Jan. 2-4 on NASA.com. According to the National Weather Service we can expect clear skies tonight, though it may get a little cloudy heading into tomorrow.
From NASA:
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration website
gives this description of the history of the Quadrantids in astronomy:
"Like the Geminids, the Quadrantids originate from an asteroid, called 2003 EH1. Dynamical studies suggest that this body could very well be a piece of a comet which broke apart several centuries ago, and that the meteors you will see before dawn on Jan. 3 are the small debris from this fragmentation. After hundreds of years orbiting the sun, they will enter our atmosphere at 90,000 mph, burning up 50 miles above Earth's surface—a fiery end to a long journey!
"The Quadrantids derive their name from the constellation of Quadrans Muralis (mural quadrant), which was created by the French astronomer Jerome Lalande in 1795. Located between the constellations of Boötes and Draco, Quadrans represents an early astronomical instrument used to observe and plot stars. Even though the constellation is no longer recognized by astronomers, it was around long enough to give the meteor shower—first seen in 1825—its name."
Adolphe Quetelet of the Brussels Observatory discovered the shower in the 1830s, and shortly afterward it was noted by several other astronomers in Europe and America.
Spacedex.com says the annual Quadrantids shower has one of the highest predicted hourly rates of all the major showers, and is comparable to the two of the most lively, the August Perseids and the December Geminids.
More from Spacedex.com:
While the plus side of this annual shower is its ability to produce fireballs, and its high hourly rates, the downside is its short peak. Quadrantids has an extremely narrow peak, occurring over just a few short hours. The Quadrantids are also well known for producing fireballs, meteors that are exceptionally bright. These meteors can also, at times, generate persistent trails (also identified as trains).
Those living in the northern hemisphere have an opportunity to experience a much better view of the Quadrantids, as the constellation Boötes never makes it above the horizon in the southern hemisphere. This is great for those living in North America, much of Europe, and the majority of Asia.
Unfortunately, those of you living in Australia and lower portions of South America will have a difficult time observing the Quadrantids. Observers in higher latitudes will have better gazing conditions, but nevertheless will need to be wary of cloud cover, as conditions are typically cloudy during this time of year.

VIDEO: "Words With Girls" Episode 7: Refusal
Hannah Hart and Lauren Neal star in episode 7 of "Words With Girls," written by Brittani Nichols and featuring caffeine kisses.
Hannah Hart and Lauren Neal star in episode 7 of "Words With Girls," written by Brittani Nichols and featuring caffeine kisses.
Here's a new episode of Words With Girls for your eye holes. It's called "Beard." Do you see where this is going?
This video party is all about the ladies. Ladies doing stand-up, ladies giving advice, ladies shooting arrows, ladies wearing lingerie. All ladies, all the time. Get into it.
Brittani did Dinah again and was much more successful in her own never humble opinion.
During SXSW, an equally awesome and certainly more queer festival will be happening in Austin. On March 9th at as part of OUTLander's Spring Festival, Main Screen will show episodes of Words With Girls, Unicorn Plan-It, and Gay Street Therapy along with a live performance from Haviland Stillwell.
Tegan and Sara bring the funny, 25 ways to piss off your girlfriend, and 2 new lesbian web series. There are lots of real life lesbians in this video party. You're gonna love it.
In which the term "reverse toaster" is coined.
Episode 4 of "Words With Girls" is out and Hannah is not happy with there being lesbians at a lesbian party.
Words With Girls' third episode, "Token" is on the interweb. Brittani's not the only black person at a party and she is not happy about it.
Remember that webseries Brittani created and Sarah Croce directed? It's back. Words With Girls Episode 2 now available for your face with some surprise Hannah Hart action.
As much as I love to complain while not doing anything to change the way things are, I put that aside to create a new comedy webseries about words and two girls that love them.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Ryan Stevens has been a swimmer for much of his life. This weekend, he plans to swim across Lake Erie for a cause dear to his heart.
The Maumee triathlete's passion for swimming was almost taken away four years ago.
"Back in 2009, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease," he explained. "I lived for about two years on my couch."
In two years, Stevens dropped from 185 pounds to 120.
"My life shut down, basically," he said. "I was at the Cleveland Clinic and they said, 'You really should not leave here with your colon.'"
In 2011, Stevens' colon was surgically removed. Two years later, he's not quite ready to do a triathlon, but that isn't keeping him from doing something only 14 other people have ever done.
"The Canadian-American answer to swimming the English Channel," he said. "It's Long Port, Ontario, Canada, and then we're going to go straight south to northeast Pennsylvania. And that's about 24 miles."
Stevens knows he can make the swim in about 12 hours, but it's the weather that has him worried. Either way, it's the reason he's doing it that matters most.
"There are a lot of others who have the same diseases and they are just far worse than I ever was, so I want to try and give back by raising awareness," he said. "I know people who have had 30 surgeries because of Crohn's. It's never-ending, but I'm hoping it will inspire some to say, 'We can still live and go out there and do the things we want to do.'"
Stevens' goal is to raise $10,000 for research at the Cleveland Clinic. To donate to the cause, visit his website here.

Harris was not vilified
At the board of trustees meeting on Tuesday, May 29, Mr. Potriuks of Greener World made an intense defense of pesticide use on Doubleday Field. In doing so, he asserted that we who are questioning the frequent use of pesticides in this village have vilified Mr. Joe Harris for his use of chemicals to keep Doubleday Field a model field for the many who come each summer to see it and to play on it. Mr. Potrikus' defense of pesticides extended to the point of his making the NYS Child Safe Playing Field Act, effective in 20011, seem no more than legislative folly.
I feel it important out of respect for Mr. Harris, who does an outstanding job in caring or Doubleday Field, that he know publicly that neither I nor anyone I know locally has ever vilified him. He is doing his utmost to carry out his assignment in the finest way and uses pesticides simply because he believes they are safe and do the job that is needed.
I believe Mr. Potrikus made the accusation of vilification to discredit those of us who are alarmed about the wide-scale infusion of our environment with chemicals, the long-term consequences of which are not entirely known.

Share your seeds
I love butternut squash so it's always grown in my garden. However, I only use six to eight seeds from the packet and have many left over to share with families who come to the food pantry. The pantry encourages its clients to grown nutritious veggies if they have a small plot of ground or planters.
Perhaps those of us with leftover seeds could share them with families coming to the food pantry. If anyone would like to share extra seeds, they would be most welcome.
The food pantry, at 25 Church St., is open 10 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. each weekday.

Cooperstown Food Bank IPM challenges board's decision
In reference to last week's story: "Village sets policy against use of chemicals," I wonder what the Sandlot Kid would think of the $8,000 Integrated Pest Management grant announced last week for Doubleday Field.
He would wonder where the money came from, how it appeared so quickly and why it is necessary.
The IPM program was initiated by the pesticide industry 20 years ago in response to rising public alarm over the praying of chemical weed killer.
I attended one of their seminars in Syracuse in 1993, and the presentation was all about "targeting" the use of pesticides, not eliminating their use.
I asked about the problem of a golf course using large amounts of chemical weed killer on the shore of drinking water lake, referring specifically to the Leatherstocking Golf Course at the Otesaga Hotel. When I suggested that there should be a total ban on that particular pesticide use, the moderator said a ban "Would be out of the question" and the IPM program was the best we could hope for because "they have a huge investment in that golf course."
This is contradicted by the public health concerns associated with the application of pesticides on the shore of a drinking water lake, as evidenced by the Otsego Lake Watershed Committee's recent decision against the NYS Department of Transportation's spraying weed killer along the west shore of Otsego Lake.
A decision to stop using pesticides on Doubleday Field has already been made. This $8,000 grant should be seen for what it is: a challenge to that decision and transparent attempt to continue the use of chemicals.

Crews responded to the scene of a house fire that broke out Friday morning on Hill Avenue in Jackson.
We are told that the flames were nearly 20 ft in the air and that power lines were sparking.
Isable Elementary students have evacuated to Jim Hill High School.
A 2nd fire for Jackson firefighters has broken out at 4321 Welota Drive.
Residents say they saw smoke coming from a bedroom and called 911. Flames spread to attic and were quickly extinguished by firefighters.
Chief Investigator Greg Travis with the Jackson Fire Department says, "Right now as we gather additional information, try to talk to as many witnesses as we possibly can regarding both of these fires, were looking a bit closer to see if there is any malicious intent, based on the information we collect that will give us a little more leeway on what direction we need to go."
One firefighter suffered minor injuries while fighting the fire on Hill Avenue.Neighbors say the house was empty.
We will update you with more information about these fires as more details become available.

AAJ Statement on House Passage of SPILL Act
Washington, DC—The U.S. House of Representatives today passed crucial Gulf Coast disaster liability legislation, the "Securing Protections for the Injured from Limitations on Liability Act" (SPILL Act / H.R. 5503). The following is a statement from American Association for Justice President Anthony Tarricone:
"The House's quick passage of this bill shows how current maritime laws desperately need to be updated if the negligent corporations responsible for the tragedy are to be held accountable. The families of workers who died aboard the Deepwater Horizon, as well as those affected by other maritime disasters, are now one large step closer to receiving justice."
The SPILL Act, sponsored by Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-La.), amends DOHSA to allow recovery of noneconomic damages for maritime death victims' families, starting with the 11 workers that died in BP's current disaster.
The SPILL Act also updates several other outdated maritime liability laws that significantly restrict the accountability of Transocean by:
- repealing of the Limitation of Liability Act, the antiquated 1851 law which allows Transocean to claim it is only responsible for $27 million in damages, the current worth of its now-destroyed rig, despite receiving over $400 million from its insurance company, and;
- amending the wrongful death claims falling under the Jones Act to provide the noneconomic damages of loss of care, comfort and companionship to surviving family members from seamens' employers

FLORENCE COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – A school principal is recovering in a local hospital after attempting to intercede in a fight between two of his students.
Lionel Brown, assistant superintendent for Florence School District One, tells WMBF News that the fight broke out between two students at the alternative school Wednesday morning.
The Assistant Principal was injured as he stumbled backwards and hit his head while he was trying to break up the altercation and was transported to a local hospital as a precaution.
School district spokeswoman Pam Little-McDaniel comments that one of the students involved in the fight was turned over to law enforcement and that the assistant principal is expected to be back at work Wednesday afternoon.
Florence Police spokesman Carlos Raines says the 19-year-old student, Zyquan Jackson, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. The other student, a 16-year-old, was charged as a juvenile with disorderly conduct and released to his parents.

The Cincinnati Bengals have something to be afraid of, and it probably isn't the St. Louis Rams. Following a field goal by St. Louis, the Bengals set up at their own 26-yard line. After a short gain and then a big loss on the sack, Andy Dalton threw a deep pass to A.J. Green, who fell down and drew the pass interference penalty. It went for 25 yards, but on the replay, it was clear that Green did a small push-off and then simply tripped.
Other than the fact that it led to absolutely nothing for Cincinnati, getting no points out of the drive, Green immediately took to the sidelines with an apparent shoulder injury. On the sidelines, he looked like he was in pain with a grimace or two, and eventually left for the locker room. He landed directly on the shoulder.
According to ESPN's John Clayton, it's a right shoulder injury and his return to the game is questionable. Here's a .gif of the play he was injured on:

Smolinski earned first team honors while McGayhey was named to the second team.
Earlier this week, Smolinski was named Capital One Academic All-American® of the Year. She was selected as the top player in the nation, in terms of both athletic and academic accomplishment as the Communication Sciences and Disorders major currently owns a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average.
She was also named an American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division III Second-Team All-American for the second-straight year. The New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Women's Volleyball Athlete of the Year has had another remarkable campaign, totaling a team-best 370 kills on a .316 clip. She led the team with 328 digs and has added 29 aces and 29 blocks and reached a significant milestone this season, becoming just the fourth player in program history with 1,500 kills. Smolinski also garnered NEWVA All-New England First Team honors this season.
McGayhey had a breakout sophomore campaign for the Pride on the right side, earning AVCA Division III Honorable Mention All-America accolades. This season, she accounted for 266 kills while hitting .373, including 13 matches where she hit .500 or better, and ranked third on the team with 49 blocks. McGayhey was also named to the NEWVA All-New England Second Team this year.

Town President Larry Dominick can remain on the Feb. 26 ballot, an election board ruled unanimously Wednesday, the Sun-Times is reporting.
The three-member panel ruled against challengers who were trying to get Dominick tossed off the Cicero ballot for unpaid license and permit fees.
Those challengers, including Juan Ochoa, alleged Dominick was a partner in a plumbing company owned by George Hunter, and that the company owes the town for years of business licenses.
The challengers also alleged that Dominick built or expanded a new garage at his home, but didn't have permits and didn't pay the permit rate to the town.
Dominick testified last week that he and Hunter — who have known each other for more than two decades — have never done business together.

This Inn may be out of the way, but its outstanding. Rooms are large, clean, fresh and well appointed. The room price includes use of a canoe or kayak on the quiet, unspoiled reservoir. The breakfast in the beautiful show kitchen upstairs by "Chef Frank" was the best. Jackie and Frank are the Tops in Innkeepers. A terirfic value for the price.

A truly fantastic location for relaxation and time in the great outdoors! We started each day with a tasty, hearty mountain breakfasts and assorted homemade muffins & breads followed by kayaking on the reservoir taking in the many sights and sounds of nature. Local eateries for dinner offered a wide variety of menu items to meet any appetite and budget. We relaxed at night in the private, in-room whirlpool bath. A great place to visit...again and again.

It's a disease that is becoming more and more common in the United States, Multiple Sclerosis. While there is no cure patients in Aberdeen now have access to state of the art technology that can better identify and treat their condition.
For 17 years Pat Carson has been living with Multiple Sclerosis.
"It's just a limiting thing I don't have any pain or anything like that but the length of time that I can stand or the distances that I can walk." Said Carson.
Everything we do, whether it's taking a step or simply breathing requires the proper brain function. For someone with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) the layer of protection surrounding the nerves is inflamed which can make simple functions extremely difficult.
"It's kind of like the insulation on a power cord as you lose the insulation things just aren't conducted as effectively so people start to notice that their sensation or things that they're trying to do with their muscles aren't working quite the same because of that loss of the sheath that protects those nerves." Said Dr. Daniel Fritz, a radiologist at Avera St. Luke's.
Doctors still don't know what exactly causes MS and there is no known cure. To treat the disease doctors need to know what areas of the brain are affected, which means annual MRI screenings for patients like Pat.
"The MRI lets us see if things are staying about the same or are they really starting to progress and it can also give us an idea of which of these lesions are actively causing problems and that can help them decide whether or not they want to get more aggressive with the treatments." Said Dr. Fritz.
MRI scans are essential for treatment but they can also be unsettling for patients.
"Initially I didn't really have claustrophobia, it was an uncomfortable feeling but it wasn't terrible." Said Carson.
Pat was never afraid of the cramped MRI tube but eventually her body developed spasms from having to lie still for the 45 minute sessions.
"Every time I would twitch they have to repeat the imaging but that would take longer the last time I had an MRI it was almost an hour and a half inside and so I'd been really dreading having another one."
But that was until Avera St. Luke's got the state of the art 3 Tesla Magnet MRI. Now pat can relax while doctors work to correct her disease.
"It has a better image and it's faster and it's more open and they took me to look at it and immediately when I saw it I knew that it would be a lot easier to lay there and get the procedure done." Said Carson.
"In the past it used to be that if you had a scanner that had a bigger size and was more comfortable for the patient often times the image quality suffered but with our scanner today we are having a better scanner and a better scan experience for our patients and we have the best quality images that are available right now so we're really fortunate to have this machine." Said Dr. Fritz.
To get this before, Pat would have to travel to Sioux Falls, a car trip that would only aggravate her condition. Instead, she can stay here in Aberdeen and focus all her energy on staying healthy.
"I try to keep active because I found that's very helpful as far as staying on your feet and even continuing to work is a good thing too because it gives you a reason to get up every morning." Said Carson.
While it may just be a walk down the hall, for Pat, these are several little footsteps that are keeping her ahead of her MS.
Multiple Sclerosis already affects more than an estimated 400,000 Americans. While it can be diagnosed at any age, the early it's detected the more treatment options are available. For more information about MS just call 877-AT-AVERA.

Southern Gothic
Southern Gothic is a subgenre of Gothic fiction unique to American literature that takes place exclusively in the American South.
Common themes in Southern Gothic literature include deeply flawed, disturbing or eccentric characters who may or may not dabble in hoodoo,[1] ambivalent gender roles and decayed or derelict settings,[2] grotesque situations, and other sinister events relating to or coming from poverty, alienation, crime and violence. While the tales in literature can be set among various classes, the decay of the southern aristocracy and the setting of the plantation are the usual settings for southern gothic tales in the popular mind.
Elements of a gothic treatment of the South were apparent in the 19th century, ante- and post-bellum, in the grotesques of Henry Clay Lewis and the de-idealised visions of Mark Twain.[3] The genre came together, however, only in the 20th century, when Dark Romanticism, Southern humour, and the new Naturalism merged into a new and powerful form of social critique.[4]
The southern gothic style is one that employs the use of macabre, ironic events to examine the values of the American South.[5] Thus unlike its parent genre, it uses the gothic tools not solely for the sake of suspense, but to explore social issues and reveal the cultural character of the American South - Gothic elements taking place in a magic realist context rather than a strictly fantastical one.
Warped rural communities replaced the sinister plantations of an earlier age; and in the works of leading figures such as William Faulkner, Carson McCullers and Flannery O'Connor, the representation of the South blossomed into an absurdist critique of modernity as a whole.[6]
Authors and music[edit]
- Anne Rice, particularly Feast of All Saints and The Witching Hour
- Michael McDowell, author of several Southern Gothic novels written during the 1970s and 1980s horror paperback craze. Stephen King once described him as "the finest writer of paperback originals in America today." Several of these take place in rural southern Alabama and Florida.
- Harry Crews, who has been called "the Hieronymus Bosch of Southern Gothic"
(Some have included Eudora Welty in the category but apparently she disagreed: '"They better not call me that!" she abruptly told Alice Walker in an interview.') [8]
A resurgence of southern gothic themes in contemporary fiction has been identified in the work of figures like Cherie Priest, Joe Lansdale,[9] and Barry Hannah.[10]
Southern Gothic in music[edit]
Southern Gothic (also known as Gothic Americana, or Death Country) is a genre of music characterized by a fusion of alternative rock and classic country/folk. The genre shares thematic connections with the Southern Gothic genre of literature, and indeed the parameters of what makes something Gothic Americana appears to have more in common with literary genres than traditional musical ones. Songs often examine poverty, criminal behavior, religious imagery, death, ghosts, family, lost love, alcohol, murder, the devil, and betrayal.[11]
Photographic representation[edit]
The images of Great Depression photographer Walker Evans are frequently seen to evoke the visual depiction of the southern gothic, Evans claiming that "I can understand why Southerners are haunted by their own landscape".[12]
Another noted Southern Gothic photographer was Surrealist, Clarence John Laughlin, who photographed plantations, cemeteries, and other abandoned places throughout the South (primarily Louisiana) for nearly 40 years.
Film and television[edit]
A number of films and television programmes are also described as being part of the Southern Gothic genre. Some prominent examples are:[13]
Postmodern pastiche[edit]
William Gibson took an ironical look at the cult of 'Southernness' in his novel Virtual Light. Rydell, the stolid, southern antihero, is looking for a job at an LA shop called Nightmare Folk Art - Southern Gothic. The (northern) owner finds him unsuitable. "'What we offer people here is a certain vision, Mr. Rydell. A certain darkness as well. A Gothic quality....The Mind of the South. A fever dream of sensuality'".[15]
Put out to find himself not southern enough for this New Englander, "'Lady,' Rydell said carefully, 'I think you're crazier than a sack full of assholes.' Her eyebrows shot up. 'There,' she said. 'There what?' 'Color, Mr. Rydell. Fire. The brooding verbal polychromes of an almost unthinkably advanced decay.'"[16]

Nothing lasts forever, and thatĺs certainly the case in politics.
Ryan Fishman, a candidate for the state Senate, has left the Republican Party.
The 25-year-old Birmingham resident, who previously identified himself as a lifelong Grand Old Party affiliate, has aired his concerns on various op-ed pages, urging Republicans to refocus their efforts on fiscal conservatism Ś not the route the party has taken in recent years with social rights.
ôEliminating waste, cutting taxes and enabling entrepreneurship to create jobs and industry once stood as the pillars of the Republican Party,ö Fishman wrote in a recent column. ôNow, we canĺt negotiate a balanced budget or end sequestration because we canĺt stop worrying about what two people might do when they go home at night.ö
Seeing no change or evolution in the partyĺs stance, Fishman left. Last month, when he submitted paperwork with the Department of State to set up a campaign committee for the 13th Senate District, he filed as a Democrat.
ôThe Republican agenda has abandoned the concept of limited government to embrace a social agenda, abandoned fiscal responsibility and business by threatening to takes us over a new fiscal cliff and drag us into a recession worth than 2008, and, frankly, it doesnĺt reflect my values,ö Fishman told The Oakland Press.
ôI donĺt think Iĺve changed, I think the labels have changed and I believe many Americans find themselves now without a party.ö
Fishman said he sees Democrats as ôthe new big tent party.ö
ôThereĺs room for people who are moderates,ö he said. ôAnd thereĺs room for people who value the issues I value Ś creating opportunity, being fiscally responsible, and being socially compassionate to champion civil rights.ö
The idea of running for state Senate began after a conversation with a mentor about his future, he said.
ôI explained I no longer felt I had a party,ö Fishman said. ôHe suggested thinking about whether there was space on the left for a voice like mine coming from the center.ö
After discussing the 13th District race with local officials and community leaders, ôI decided it was the right thing to do,ö he said.
ôöThe last few weeks have demonstrated that the leadership we need in this moment...is centrist, moderate, and capable of engaging people on both sides of the aisle in a discussion about solutions to our problems, rather than rehashing the problems that got us to where we are today,ö he said.
The new 13th District that takes effect in 2015 represents Rochester, Rochester Hills, Troy, Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, Clawson, Royal Oak and Berkley.
Fishman currently stands as the only Democrat in the race. Term-limited state Rep. Tom McMillin and former state Rep. Chuck Moss from Birmingham filed to run for Troy Republican Sen. John Pappageorgeĺs seat, who is also term-limited.
Fishman works as an executive for West Bloomfield-based Steward Media, a management consulting firm, and is currently awaiting his Bar Exam results.
Heĺs never sought a political office, but has experience in campaigning. Last year, he served as campaign manager for Troy Mayor Dane Slater. And, Fishman said, heĺs been assisting in Detroit mayoral candidate Mike Dugganĺs campaign.
ôI think we have had a culture in Lansing and in Washington and in probably every capital over the country that has bred from, ĹIf Iĺm a Republican, a Democrats idea must be a bad idea,ĺö Fishman said. ôItĺs gone the other way, too.ö
And in Michigan, partisan bickering has led to a stalemate on some issues he says heĺd focus the most attention on: roadways, civil rights and public education.

Despite Hurricane Sandy's devastation on the Northeastern United States, projections show national voter turnout will be lower than 2004 and 2008 totals.
Gallup indications of voter turnout, collected before Hurricane Sandy, suggest voter turnout will fall short of that in the previous two presidential elections. Registered voters report giving less thought to this year's election and are less likely to rate their chance of voting as a 10 on a 10-point scale compared with 2004 and 2008.
However, voter turnout is projected to be higher than in 1996 and 2000.
These results are based on Gallup Daily election tracking form Oct. 15-28. Voters tend to give more thought to the election and voting intentions the closer it gets to Election Day. However, hurricane-turned-superstorm Sandy has overshadowed the election and campaign efforts over the past week, and that could affect how voters perceive the election and campaigns, as well as how much attention they give to the election.
Because of that, Gallup has suspended its election tracking because of concerns about the ability to accurately represent the U.S. electorate with so many people displaced by the storm.
How Sandy will affect voter turnout on Nov. 6 is unclear, particularly in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic where effects such as flooding and power outages may linger through Election Day. Sandy could also continue to affect early voting.
Some parts of West Virginia saw anywhere from a couple of inches to a couple of feet of snow caused by Sandy. Secretary of State Natalie Tennant suspended early voting in several counties for Oct. 30. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has declared a state of emergency and is seeking a major federal disaster declaration.
Snow and high winds resulted in power outages for many parts of the state. Power companies are estimating power may not be restored for seven to 10 days.

The Turkish team Besiktas has officially placed a hold on their pursuit of Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, according to overseas reports. As of Monday night, Turkey's NTV Sport reported that the team's available basketball funds have been siphoned off by a match-fixing scandal that is tearing across the Turkish soccer landscape.
Any further acquisitions by Besiktas will be reliant on procuring an affluent new team sponsor, according to NTV Sport. Though, Bryant's sponsorship through Turkish Airlines does add an interesting outside caveat to the discussions.
Before the onset of the scandal, the Turkish club was in talks for a contract that would pay Bryant a monthly salary of $500,000. However, the Lakers' All-Star was said to have been holding out for an estimated salary of $1 million per month.
Besiktas famously signed New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams earlier this month. Williams' contract is reported to pay him $5 million over two years.

Cooperstown Crier
---- — You've read correctly, elephants! At last I've come face-to-face with one, and what an experience it proved to be. As a native of upstate New York, a place with no mammal larger than the average hibernating black bear, there was all the room in the world to fantasize about the wonder and eminence of the elephant. That being said, on the opposite end of the spectrum, the residents of Northern Thailand and the hill tribe I was visiting are as familiar to the gentle giants as any upstater is to dairy cows.
I was in a very small settlement that belonged to a Karen hill tribe, an ethnic group native to the Thai/Burma region far in the north of Thailand. However spare the commerce of this village, there did happen to be a simple elephant reserve that offered free rides right in the center of town. Climbing a short staircase to what could have been a tree house I carefully boarded the slightly swaying carriage fastened to the back of the elephant.
There aren't very many things I can equate with the physical sensation of riding an elephant. I think Hobbits ridding in an Ent — Tolkien's smallest characters lodged in the high branches of his giant tree characters — is the closest allusion I can make. There is an interval of about two seconds between each step and when the foot lands on the ground the seat and everything in it (Me!) drops abruptly to one side and then to the other after the succeeding step. It wasn't particularly comfortable and was certainly not a camera friendly perch, but it was awfully hilarious to me as I clutched the guardrail, grinning wildly.
As the elephant plodded down the local highway I watched as moped drivers waited for the procession to pass while checking messages on their cellphones as if at a stop light. Much like a Cooperstown tourist gawking at the site of dairy cows and silos in Milford, I was taken aback by the indifference Khana, the elephant, was receiving from the locals. That's culture shock.
Elephants are easy to fall in love with. In fact, they are impossible not to fall in love with. Upon sighting one, you'll think "ELEPHANT!! Awwww," then up close, an unwanted timidity washes over your excitement as the rough, probing trunk of the animal callously investigates you, your clothes and your face with a bristly, dripping tip. The eyes of the elephant, much like the eyes of a learned Thai monk, speak nothing but the highest wisdom and patience and are intoxicating in their integrity. As you try to shy away from the invasive trunk and the massive flat feet of the animal, you can't help but linger a few more uneasy minutes because of your sheer elation to be in its presence.
The elephant is a national symbol of Thailand and its image can be found on nearly all tourist apparel, exaggerated with exquisite, flowing carpets of the finest Thai silk; gliding through purple clouds and ethereal heavens on coin purses and bracelets. They deserve as much embellishment for they are undoubtedly some of the most majestic, solemn creatures in the world, yet when all is said and done Khana and the rest of her kin are just animals. They eat, breathe, sleep and poop. That great, rough, curious trunk that is so iconic was, I'm sure, just concerned with the three bananas I was hiding behind my back.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Hollywood legend Edith Head holds the distinction of the most Academy Award nominations ever: 35, for her work designing costumes for some of the great pictures and stars of cinema's golden age. (She won eight, and you can see her work in Sabrina, To Catch a Thief, Vertigo, The Ten Commandments, All About Eve, and Funny Face, which she co-designed with no less than Hubert de Givenchy.) And even with all of that, she found time in the late sixties to pen a how-to guide to style. Next week, How to Dress for Success gets the full reissue treatment ($19.95, abramsbooks.com). Some of Head's wisdom may seem a little retrograde to the reader of the aughts, but her salty wit and curlicue prose hold up quite nicely. (Not to mention her original black-and-white line drawings, complete with helpful suggestions: "Too big! Too much! Too heavy!")
Here's Head on "How to Dress to Get a Man…And Keep Him": "The contents of this chapter may be a shock to the woman who feels that the less she wears in pursuit of a man the better. To her we can only say that while the boys ogle and applaud the charms of Venus Unadorned in art galleries, night clubs, and between the covers of some magazines, it's the covered girls rather than the Cover Girls they invariably marry." It's what you might expect the typing pool at the Mad Men office to tell one another—although Edith, unlike them, goes into more detail concerning each specific type of man you might hope to land, from the football fan ("dress warmly! There's nothing more revolting to the rugged gridiron enthusiast than a shivering, complaining female whose only comment about the game is 'I'm freezing!' ") to the far-out intellectual ("What would be the shy man's chloroform is this man's meat").
And, despite the occasional feminist-riling bit of man-trapping, there are also plenty of celebrations of all women, great and small (and charts for how to dress either, and everyone in between). "One of the few fallacious quotations ever attributed to our beloved and revered forefather Benjamin Franklin was, 'With a pillow over their heads all women look alike,' " begins the chapter on "How to Analyze Your Figure." "Knowing women's figures as I do, I would have to tell dear old Ben to go fly his kite. If he were alive today, I'd take him into my designing room where stand hundreds of white cotton and fabric torsos which are replicas of the figures of famous movie stars whose wardrobes I create. There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter." She should know—she dressed them all.
Thanks for the great article. I have the privilege of helping to keep Miss Head's legacy alive in my play A CONVERSATION WITH EDITH HEAD – http://www.edithead.biz. She was really an original!
This book is so well written and totally stands the test of time. Edith Head was a genius and her contribution to fashion is epic!! I will purchase this book for my young niece, we can all learn from her legendary insight!! Thanks for this article!

Condon gets prison time for drug charge
A 37 year old Scottsbluff man has received three to five years in prison after pleading no contest to delivery of cocaine charges in a plea agreement where other drug charges were dismissed. Glenn Condon was given credit for time served in jail Friday by Scotts Bluff County District Judge Randy Lippstreu.
Condon was stopped by Scottsbluff Police regarding a theft from the Wal-Mart parking lot December 1st. Court documents say Police detected a strong odor of raw marijuana coming from the pickup and began a search of the vehicle. They seized over four grams of cocaine, a dozen oxycodone pills and 193 grams of marijuana, most of it in a brick form.
The documents say Condon is a convicted felon and he admitted while being booked into the jail he had been "selling marijuana for a while now."

San Juan County, NM – On 11/18/2011 at approximately 1925 hours, San Juan County deputies were called to the scene of a head on collision near mile marker 124 on US Highway 550.
A 1982 Chevy Van driven by Howard Haceesa Jr (age 36) of Nageezi was heading south on Highway 550 when it crossed over into northbound traffic. It then collided with a 2002 Isuzu SUV driven by Circia Fernandez-Lopez.
Haceesa was not alone in the van. His front passenger was a Galvin Dennison who was air lifted from the scene, his condition is unknown at this time. The rear passenger was a Clifford Commanche (42 years old) who was pronounced dead at the scene.
There were also several passengers in the Isuzu SUV struck by Haceesa. This vehicle was carrying seven people in it at the time it was struck. The front passenger is a Natalia Fernandez (50 years old) who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Salinger: A Biography
Paul Alexander
Publication Date:2011
J.D. Salinger was one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. He was also one of its most elusive. After making his mark on the American literary scene, Salinger retreated to a small town in New Hampshire where he hoped to hide his life away from the world. With dogged determination, however, journalist and biographer Paul Alexander captured Salinger's story in this, the only complete biography of Holden Caulfield's creator published to date. Using the archives at Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, NYU and the New York Public Library as well as research in New York and New Hampshire, Alexander has created a great biography of Salinger that's further enriched by interviews with some of the greatest literary figures of our time: George Plimpton, Gay Talese, Ian Hamilton, Harold Bloom, Roger Angell, A. Scott Berg, Robert Giroux, Ved Mehta, Gordon Lish and Tom Wolfe.

Creating Debian packages for Maemo 5 Qt applications and showing in the application menu
Note: Qt SDK produces Debian package for you, so this is not mandatory to read and follow this article. This article shows how to build a .deb package for a Qt application on Maemo. The other problem that this article will address is how to put the Qt application at Menu of Maemo Device. The proposed strategy does not use dh_make to create the basic debian package structure, as described in Qt for Maemo Developers Guide.
Debian Packages In Brief
.deb is the extension of the Debian software package format and the most often used name for such binary packages. Like the Deb part of the term Debian. Debian packages are used in distributions based on Debian, such as Ubuntu and others.
You need to have libqt4-dev and Maemo 5 SDK installed on your Computer and libqt4-dev installed on your Scratchbox ARM target. For more information on Maemo 5 SDK Installation follow the link.
Creating the Application
You need to create a simple Qt HelloWorld Project on computer. I created a project with two labels how is showed below. Remember of to set the size of QWidget to 720 of Width and 420 of Height because the resolution of Maemo Device.
Copying the Application to Scratchbox
First , copy the sources files of application to a folder at Scratchbox. In general the address is /scratchbox/users/username/home/username/. I do this:
flavio@flavio-desktop:~/workspace$ cp -r HelloWorld/ /scratchbox/users/${USER}/home/${USER}/
Compiling the Application at Scratchbox
At Start, you need login at Scratchbox:
~$ /scratchbox/login
If necessary select the ARM target using sb-conf se FREMANTLE_ARMEL . To compile do this :
[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~] > cd HelloWorld [sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~/HelloWorld] > qmake [sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~/HelloWorld] > make
Creating the Debian Source Package
The method of creation Debian packages is described in an external article Packaging a Qt application. Maemo is derivative of Debian Linux distribution, thus, should you have a question, feel free to consult Debian documentation Debian New Maintainer's Guide.
Sample source Debian package containing a very simple Qt application File:Sample-0.0.1.zip.
Building the Debian Package
To build both source and binary packages with checking build dependencies use the following command
[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~/HelloWorld] > dpkg-buildpackage -i -rfakeroot -D
Append "-nc -b" keys to avoid cleaning the source tree. This will speed up building a binary package. This is relevant for huge packages like Qt libraries, which are being built for several hours.
Sending the Debian Package to Maemo Device
I used the scp command with the IP address of device. The IP address of device is searched at Settings->Connection Manager , after that , click at Connection Manager at left-Up-Corner->internet connection->IP address.
[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~/HelloWorld] > scp hello-world-application.deb firstname.lastname@example.com:/home/user/
Installing the Debian Package at Maemo Device
[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~/HelloWorld] > ssh email@example.com dpkg -i /home/user/hello-world-application.deb
Now, the application is installed at Maemo Device.
You will need to click at More... Menu and you will can see the HelloWorld Application with a icon of N900 :

Written for voice and percussion, these musical fables with no clearly defined moral serve as question marks, featuring mythical animals, geniuses, and gods. Danielle Palardy Roger revisits Sokolović's Sirènes, amongst other works. An iconoclastic tribute, Palardy Roger also celebrates Gauvreau, Vivier and Jutras, in an evening devoted to the unexpected and a thousand curiosities.

Fervent supporter of all music marginalized by academic convention, SuperMusique presents concerts devoted to new music, improvisation and sonic experiments.
The SMCQ has been moving in step with the lively rhythms of new music for almost fifty years. With its regular concert season, its Série hommage (Homage Series), an international festival, and a young listener's programme, the society has served both as a platform for today's composers and as a window on creative works for everyone.
