Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and North Dakota U.S. Attorney Tim Purdon discussed the efforts of state and federal law enforcement agencies to combat telephone lottery scams, which they say have increased to "epidemic levels" in North Dakota.
The Consumer Protection division has received reports from across the state about these lottery calls. Despite several warnings, there have been several recent victims who have sent off hundreds, even thousands, of dollars in response to these phony prize notification calls.
There are dozens of variations of the lottery winner telephone scam, but all of them have one thing in common: The supposed winner is instructed to send money before the prize can be released.
"If you are asked to send money before you can receive your prize, it is always a scam. It doesn't matter what reason the caller gives, it is always a scam, every single time," said Stenehjem. "Don't make it easy for a thief to steal your money. If you get a call that you have won a lottery or sweepstakes, hang up immediately."
Last fall, Stenehjem warned about scam artists pretending to be from Publisher's Clearing House. In the current version of the scam, the caller claims the victim has won an international lottery with a cash prize of $2.5 million and a new Mercedes, but those prizes cannot be delivered to the winner until certain fees or taxes have been paid.
"Of great concern is the fact that these scammers often prey on the elderly. We all need to remind our older loved ones that there is never a valid reason for someone to require you to pay money up front before you can collect a prize," said Purdon. "We are asking all North Dakotans to talk to their elderly relatives, friends, and neighbors and make sure they are aware of the dangers of telephone lottery scams."
The U.S. Attorney's Office is coordinating with FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and Homeland Security Investigations in an effort to crack down on the international crime rings that are running these lottery scams. In March, the U.S. District Court in Bismarck unsealed indictments filed by the North Dakota U.S. Attorney's Office that charge fifteen individuals from the U.S. and Jamaica on allegations that they were involved in lottery scams that had allegedly targeted victims in North Dakota and South Dakota. Those cases are pending.
The scam artists identify themselves as lawyers, customs officials or lottery representatives, or even as federal officials, and tell people they've won vacations, cars or thousands — even millions — of dollars. The scam artist tells the individual to purchase one or more Green Dot, MoneyPak or PayPal cards to pay the fees, and then call the prize notification person with the identifying numbers on the card. Those numbers are all the scam artists need to drain the money off the card while the victim is still on the phone. Once the card numbers have been given to the scam artist, the money is gone and cannot be recovered for the victim.
Stenehjem said the scammers make use of technology in their scams, from auto-dialers which can place hundreds of calls a day and mapping programs to pinpoint the victim's exact location, to prepaid cards and online payment options that give them instant access to the victim's money. Scammers use Internet based applications such as Google Map to give them information about their targeted victim or where they live, to make the victim believe the caller is in the local area.
Stenehjem and Purdon urged North Dakotans to hang up on these prize notification calls. They offered the following reminders:
If you have responded to these calls, you are urged to contact the Consumer Protection division at 1-800-472-2600.

Texans LB Brian Cushing took a lie detector test to prove he did not take a performance enhancing drug, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Cushing has denied all along that he took a PED.
The results of his lie detector test, according to Schefter, demonstrated that he did not take a PED.
The NFL doesn't recognize lie detector tests so the suspension obviously still stands but this is Cushing's effort to avoid becoming the NFL poster boy for steroids.
Dating back to high school, Cushing has been surrounded by accusations that he was using steroids or other PEDs. Now that he's guilty -- whether that's because of a PED or a masking agent -- all those accusations have a new found validity.
Lie detector test or not, Cushing will be suspended.

It started as a meeting on Budget Public Policy but it ended with some Mecklenburg County Commissioners launching verbal attacks at each other.
"You go back to the old time as white men sitting in rooms making decisions for poor people" Commissioner Vilma Leake told one of her colleagues.
The meeting deteriorated when Commissioners George Dunlap and Dumont Clarke questioned the Chair of the Board, Pat Cotham, about recommending a consultant be hired to help the board with the recruitment process for a new County Manager, and also to examine the current management structure.
The two commissioners say Chairwoman Cotham didn't discuss it with all commissioners.
This is the first meeting Commissioners had since they fired long time County Manager Harry Jones last Tuesday night.
From accusations of ineffective leadership to sexism and racism, county commissioners didn't hold back.
"I want to make sure I get this right" said Commissioner George Dunlap. "Your leadership style is to talk to people who agree with you. Is that your leadership style?" Dunlap asked Chairwoman Cotham.
As Cotham paused, Dunlap demanded "answer the question."
"No" said Chairwoman Cotham. "That is not my leadership style."
Chairwoman Cotham said the consultant has not been hired, and she intends to have commissioners vote on the potential hire.
But the Board Chair acknowledged she didn't have preliminary discussions with Commissioners Dunlap and Clarke, and Vice Chair Kim Ratliff.
"Because you made it clear you were supporting the manager" Chairwoman Cotham said - referring to fired County Manager Harry Jones. "We're not talking about the manager" Dunlap replied.
Dunlap accused the Chairwoman of talking only to commissioners who support her agenda.
"I haven't had the pleasure of you calling me the way you call the rest of them" Dunlap told Cotham, who said "I talked to members of the board who have an interest in something new."
Commissioner Vilma Leake told the group "I'm listening to this dialogue. I hate that we have come to this juncture in the process and procedure."
Then Commissioner Leake said "I have never seen a male that sat in that seat to be harassed and dealt with as has happened here today."
When Commissioner Dunlap interjected "it's not harassment", Commissioner Leake fired back "I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the body. We didn't ask for any questions."
Leake told her colleagues "we need to respect each other in this process, even in our tone."
And to Commissioner Dunlap she said "although you may not like us as women, I've never seen this happen before. And it's not about Pat. I'm talking about what's going on."
Leake then turned her attention to Commissioner Clarke, who earlier in the meeting told Chairwoman Cotham he was "disturbed" that the Board had no discussion about engaging a consultant.
"I mean you feel like you have the support of sufficient number of commissioners to do what ever you want" Clarke said. "But I think you have to follow some process... code of ethics."
Commissioner Leake told Clarke "you are one who sits here all the time, never speaks to people and always talking about what we don't do as if you are law and order. You go back to the old time as white men sitting in rooms making decisions for poor people. I refuse to accept it."
During an earlier part of the meeting, interim County Manager Bobbie Shields gave a report on his 7 days on the job so far.
Shields told Commissioners he's focusing on three areas: employees, service, and relationships.
Shields said "there's a degree of stress within the organization" for employees. He said county workers are hearing a lot of "negatives and they feel they're painted with the same negative brush."
Shields says he wants to make sure the county is focused on high quality service and professionalism. He's also looking to building and maintaining relationships internally and externally.
At the end of the meeting, his words were apparently forgotten.

1) None of the three county commissioners is seeking re-election this year. Two are term-limited out and the third isn't up.
2) City council terms are staggered on an annual basis. So there is nothing special about an even-numbered year to councilors in Mac or other local cities.
My take is this: The Legislature's passage of the moratorium measure gave local officials an easy out, and a lot of them couldn't resist taking it.
Wait and see is always the safest political posture. If in doubt, the thinking goes, sit tight and stand pat.
Law enforcement anymore is the real opposition to cannabis use. The people are ready to move forward. The old policies of arrest and prosecution have had little to now effect on cannabis use and loss of revenue is no cause for hunting cannabis consumers.
We have lived with cannabis being illegal and have not much to show for it in my humble opinion. So lets try living with it being legal and see how she goes. At least humans will not be celled in cages.
I agree with you. The important part of your suggestion is identifying which drugs are helpful and used correctly. Any drug used improperly can create problems.

Village's evening bus service welcomed
8:30am Wednesday 30th January 2013 in News
VILLAGERS can now venture into Hereford for an evening out safe in the knowledge they can get a bus back.
The 453 service from Fownhope will now call at the Courtyard on Edgar Street and the city railway station after leaving the village at 6.44pm.
Every Friday and Saturday the same service leaves the Courtyard at 10.55pm, returning to Fownhope by 11.25pm.
David Clark, chairman of Fownhope Parish Council, said: "Not only does this new service benefit a cross-section of the community, it also provides an excellent demonstration of parish councils working together.
This service gives youngsters the freedom to socialise in Hereford without their parents needing to ferry them around."
He said villagers can now also enjoy monthly buses to Ledbury after the parish council teamed up with its counterparts in Dormington and Mordiford to apply for funding.
That bus link runs on the fourth Friday of each month.

For those of us poor souls, bereft of hope and the will to live who reside here in Hereford in this holding pen that Jarvis has created for Britains Got bloody Talent, it'd be nice to pop to Fownhope, walk about without fear of being given a fixed penalty ticket for some minor misdemeanour and being taser'ed by the Constable for howling our annoyance outside the bloody Town Hall.
Id urge Mr Clarke of the Fownhope Parish Council to watch the film 'Field of bloody Dreams, get some drink and food in co's people will come. I will most definitely journey to Fownhope and have some welcome respite from this place thats more akin to the Village of the Damned rather than my home Hereford.

Lesley recognized as a leader among institutions of higher learning for its community service work
Friday, March 08, 2013
The distinction recognizes Lesley's leadership among institutions of higher education for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning, civic engagement, and bettering communities through service.
Lesley has been named to the Honor Roll each year since the program began in 2006, and Lesley is among 690 schools honored this year.
Last year alone, Lesley students completed 6,800 hours of community service at 50 organizations, including the Cambridge Women's Center, Tutoring Plus of Cambridge, Waltham Community Farms, Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House, Columbia (SC) Habitat for Humanity, and Cradles to Crayons.
Through Lesley's Office of Community Service, students have the opportunity to make an impact in Cambridge and beyond.
"Our students not only participate in service, but they also take on leadership roles as they contribute to projects that make a positive impact in the community," said Sarah Chafe, Lesley's Community Engagement Coordinator/Massachusetts Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA. "We are grateful to our many community partners for their collaboration and support."
The Honor Roll is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service and the U.S. Department of Education.
"Communities are strengthened when we all come together, and we are encouraged that these institutions and their students have made service a priority," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in an official announcement of the award. "Civic engagement should be a key component of every student's education experience. Through reaching out to meet the needs of their neighbors, these students are deepening their impact, strengthening our democracy and ultimately preparing themselves to be successful citizens."

A good try of making a action Rpg \ Rpg.
by Prateek121191 on March 19, 2011
Pros: 1 Amazingly good battle scenarios and twists compared with dragon age :origins and its follow up.
2 The player based on his will can play it as a action game or a sort of rpg (you'll understand in the summary what i mean )
3 Graphics are good
Cons: 1 Rating of the story in comparison to origins is 3 out of 10
2 The dialogues are easy but don't have the effect of uncertainty that resembled more reality to the game
3 No good boss fights (combat is still good))but no new character types introduced
Summary: I'll start from the beginning.Well the first thing after u start a new game is the character screen. Now what were those bio ware folks thinking by introducing ...
Summary: I'll start from the beginning.Well the first thing after u start a new game is the character screen. Now what were those bio ware folks thinking by introducing only two type of characters a male and a female(Human).it only means that u cannot play the game again and again even wanted to because there are no alternate stories (no elves or dwarf---no character specialization like human noble or anything but instead just talent based specialization).
Instead of presets of characters there are only two types of characters only their talent is different.
The game starts after lothering is destroyed and the hero is fleeing with his family and accordingly his brother dies(sic).he finds refugee in another city and 10 years pass in the game and the hero still remains there and that is the end of the game.Now I wont go into the details of the story or all friend's who read this would lose the interest.
There is no link of the story to the greywardens or their joining or arch demon or drakspawn,although drakspawn and greywardens make special appearances as if they are guest in the game.
The combat system is good though.A player can play as he wants to play like a action rpg or pure dragon age style (pause and play combat).the fights often take place in the same places but the names are changed and as u grow stronger so do the enemies.its makes it a bit more challenging.but in order to make make it more simple or should i say like assassins creed they have completely destroyed the skill tree. Unlike the first game the skills are small in numbers and players don't have variety but just look at any game play trailer the combat is a visual feast.
The last and the brutal par tfor me.
I never thought i would be so much disappointed after playing it.I do not blame Bio ware for this until and unless they release its expansion pack or dlc/s so the story completes and joins to the cause of the Grey wardens and the threat of dark spawn.The story itself shows that the hero is being searched for but then the game ends and if thats what bio ware stops at so will trust of many.
For those who are new to the series a must try but to those who already have played and completed DA:o i don't recommend it.
Not the game that is expected as the successor of DA:O
by Verilee14 on March 12, 2011
Pros: Some dialogues, fast paced story
Cons: Design (e.g. Flemeth designed as a Domina in Manga style), missing almost all what makes an RPG an RPG
Summary: Oh my... I have never thought I had to write that... rather I was eager to play this game, but it's turned out differently.
RPGs... I did em all... ...
Summary: Oh my... I have never thought I had to write that... rather I was eager to play this game, but it's turned out differently.
RPGs... I did em all... from the first days with my Commodore Amiga (Bard's Tale, some AD&D RPGs), to PC games (also AD&Ds, Might and Magics, Ultima Underworld, those from Interplay, and all the classic Biowares, and Elder Scrolls Arena, Daggerfall and so on...), so I claim to have a vast knowledge about how RPGs were and how they are now. I found some better, some not so good, but most of them were quite solid RPGs.
It's of course a matter of taste, but to me, RPG means story, interactions and customizing the characters. DA:O is already streamlined compared to the Elder Scrolls Universe, but still classic RPG because of all those things that are still possible, and probably one of the best story and especially dialogues (which results in a great overall atmosphere) I have ever seen in an RPG.
Although, even in DA:O I miss being able to jump, or to access all those places that can be seen, from that point it's a bit limited, but still acceptable to me as there are other unique features.
Now DA2... I decided to first have a look, so visited a friend, and had a look, and have to say, I won't buy that game. I don't hate it, but I am not into Action-Adventures. Opponents spawning out of nowhere, 2 metres jumps in full armor, no thank you... to me that is more comic style gaming, jump and run even a bit... no, that's not RPG anymore to me.
Flemeth designed like a mixture of Manga and Domina, no, not my taste.
Not being able to equip my party... that is a no go for me in an RPG. I mean, I love to spend hours with so callled unimportant details like trying out clothes, armors, crafting, making potions... whatever. DA2 delivers nothing. A fast paced action game, not bad by itself, but not worthy of being named Dragon Age or even being regarded as its successor.
Some good things still, some nice dialogues, but it feels more like an interactive movie... hey of course not to the extent I had with Dragon's Lair on my good old Amiga... but still, too dictated for me. Everything is kind of chewed before we get it to eat.
I don't hate this game, but I don't think it is wise to distribute it as the successor of DA:O, and besides, Bioware to me was a synonym for great RPGs. Now, that does not seem to apply anymore. A pity.
Per se there is nothing wrong in offering variations or different style games within the same universe... other companies did that in the past too, Bethesda had some spin-offs (Elder scrolls series vs Battlespire, Redguard), 3DO had them (Might and Magic series vs Heroes), Origin (Ultima, and then Ultima underworld was different), and some more.
They could have opened a new spin off series, like DA Action Adventures or whatever, then the players can decide for themselves whether to try it out or not, without being fooled with wrong expectations, rising up when hearing the name Dragon Age, or even Dragon Age 2, which implies the continuation of the 1st game.
Dragon Age, to me, stood for RPG, like Elder Scrolls does, different, but great. I don't want to see an action adventure under the Elder Scrolls series label, and I didn't want to see that with DA:O.
It happened, and I think they didn't do themselves a favour. For me, this series ended with DA:O, and will start again, when they pick up on what they built with DA:O. Whether it was Bioware's fault, or EA's, it is an enourmous damage that has been done to Bioware's reputation, in rushing out such a game, and pretending it is the legitimate successor of DA:O.

Heard word today that Narragansett Sumer Ale has officially returned for the season. The beer, which debuted last year, is the first summer seasonal released by the company in its more than 120-year history.
It's going to be available in all New England states, eastern Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Florida.
Narragansett Beer has been a big favorite in these parts of southern New England for a while but this summer seasonal has a special connection to the area. A press release from Narragansett says the summer seasonal was brewed under the supervision of Brewmaster Sean Larkin at Trinity Brew House in Providence, Cottrell Brewery in Pawcatuck and North American Breweries in Rochester, N.Y.
I've never tried this beer but the release describes it this way: "The malt flavor is smooth and subtle, balanced out by a crisp hop bitterness that delivers natural notes of grapefruit and passion fruit. Summer Ale is 4.2% Alcohol by Volume and 24 IBUs."
So enjoy the summer and all the seasonal ales that come with it my friends!

NHS commissioning group cuts its deficit
7:40am Wednesday 4th June 2014 in News
The group which makes decisions on most county NHS spending has cut its projected deficit for this financial year to £1 million.
Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (OCCG) – set to spend £635.7m this year – had warned of a £7.5m overspend in the 12 months from April 1.
Yet this has been cut. The news comes after the OCCG reduced its overspend for the 12 months up to March 31 this year.

By JOE LoTEMPLIO
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Republican candidates for local office have heard firsthand from voters who say they may have been misled into casting absentee ballots this election.
"I am absolutely convinced that this is happening," Mark Dame, a Republican incumbent candidate for the Clinton County Legislature Area 8 seat, said after meeting with several voters in recent days.
"It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure it out."
Republicans cite an alleged effort on behalf of the Working Families and Democratic candidates to target voters who live in public housing or are SUNY Plattsburgh students who are registered voters but have a poor participation record in recent elections.
Republicans are concerned about the possibility that the voters were encouraged to submit falsified absentee ballots.
The effort, they claim, began with volunteers providing people with absentee-ballot applications, which is perfectly legal, and having the voters sign them. The volunteers, some Republicans claim, then filled out the rest of the form and returned it to the Clinton County Board of Elections.
The applications call for the voters to indicate why they need an absentee ballot and provides six reasons to choose from.
After applications are submitted, the absentee ballots are brought to the voter by the volunteers and are signed by the voter. In some cases, based on communication with those voters, it appears that the actual absentee ballot was not filled out by the voter, just signed.
That would mean that the votes on such a ballot might have been cast by the party volunteer and not the voter themselves.
If an absentee ballot or application is filled out fraudulently, it could result in a felony charge for the voter and the volunteer who assisted them, according to Plattsburgh City Police.
The Press-Republican spoke with several voters who said they did not fill out the application or the absentee ballot, but just signed them.
"I signed it, sealed it, and then they took it," voter Joanne Eagle of Plattsburgh said about her ballot.
During a recent trip to Underwood Mobile Home Park and to Plattsburgh Housing Authority units in the South End of the city, which encompasses Wards 1 and 2 and part of Area 8, Dame, accompanied by the Press-Republican, met with several voters who told them about their experiences with volunteers toting absentee-ballot applications.
Eagle, Nicole Seger, Susan Cooper, Billie Davignon and Glen Masella all confirmed that they were approached about absentee ballots.
Eagle said her application was marked that she was permanently disabled as the reason she needed an absentee ballot. Yet, she told Dame, she can walk to the polls without a problem.
Seger's had a box marked indicating that she would be out of town. But she said she will be here and could walk to the polls nearby on South Catherine Street.
Cooper also said that she will be to be in town on Election Day, even though her box was marked that she would be absent from the county.
Masella, who walks with a cane, said that although he is disabled, he would get a ride to the polls from his sister, like he always does. He declined to fill out an absentee ballot, despite heavy pressure, he said, from the volunteer.
All the voters questioned by Dame, except for Davignon, said they did not know the names of the volunteers who approached them with absentee applications. They did say that the volunteers told them they were representing the Working Families and Democratic parties.
Davignon said her application was brought to her by Betty Lou LaJoy, who reportedly said she was working on behalf of Mark Tiffer, a Democratic candidate for mayor of the City of Plattsburgh.
"She (LaJoy) asked me if I was working on Election Day, and I told her I was, and she told me that I could just fill out an absentee ballot and be done with it, and I wouldn't have to go to the polls," Davignon said.
"I had no idea it wasn't allowed."
Davignon said she just signed the application and did not fill it out before giving it to LaJoy.
The application indicates that Davignon has a temporary illness or a physical disability — neither of which is true, she said when she was told about it.
"I am nowhere near disabled. I work 40 hours a week," she said.
LaJoy returned a few days later with the actual ballot, Davignon said.
"She put it on a clipboard, said, 'Let's fill this out,'" Davignon said. "I told her that I preferred to fill it out myself, if I needed it, and she did not look all that happy."
Davignon said LaJoy told her that it was too late to mail the ballot to the Board of Elections and that she would come back in an hour, pick it up and deliver it in person.
Absentee ballots are accepted as long as they are received by the Board of Elections with a postmark the day of the election or earlier.
Davignon said she will go vote at the polls on Election Day rather than use the absentee ballot.
"She really tried to get me to fill out with her right there and didn't like it when I wouldn't," she said.
When a Press-Republican reporter knocked on Lajoy's door at her home on Cornelia Street, no one answered, and there is no telephone listing for her locally. A message sent to her on Facebook went unreturned.
Tiffer said he has not seen or had any contact with Lajoy since he was interviewed by Working Families Party representatives for an endorsement in the spring.
He said he does support efforts to help people vote.
"If a person has difficulty getting to the polls, and someone can help them vote, that's a good thing," Tiffer said in a statement.
"Voters have the right to file absentee ballots, and we need to trust their good-faith need for those ballots. We must trust that anyone who filled out a ballot did so honestly, believing that personal circumstances necessitated that application."
Tiffer said that if there was any misunderstanding and voters will be in town on Election Day, they should go to the polls, which would negate any absentee ballots.
"To those who feel threatened by voters' decision to exercise their rights, I say we all have the right to vote. Not just you and your friends."
Chad Rowe, who is a member of the Clinton County Republican Party Executive Committee, said his 77-year-old grandmother, Vina Beckwith, was targeted.
She lives in a Plattsburgh Housing Authority unit on South Peru Street and has not voted much in recent years, her grandson said.
Rowe said a man approached her with fliers for Democratic candidates and offered her the absentee-ballot application.
"He told her that she would not have to go to the polls and could vote this way," Rowe said.
"She hasn't voted much, but she never voted this way (absentee ballot) before."
Rowe said his grandmother signed the paperwork but did not fill it out.
"I think there is a lot of deception going on, and that is not right," he said.
"I don't care if it was Republicans, independents or whoever doing this, it is just not right, and it's dirty pool."
Rowe said he would drive his grandmother to the polls on Nov. 5.
Dame's opponent in the Area 8 legislature race, Democrat Robert Dolan, said he has not delivered any absentee-ballot applications, is not endorsed by the Working Families Party and had nothing to do with an effort to deliver applications.
"I expect to win on the votes cast at the ballot places," Dolan said.
Republican candidate for Ward 1 William Ferris said he delivered 29 absentee ballots but did not try to sway people on how to fill them out.
"I just dropped them off and said see you later," he said.
"There is a big difference between coercing someone and not."
"The Working Families Party has worked for months with a dedicated team of volunteers to elect progressive candidates in Plattsburgh," Khan Shoieb, the Working Families Party communications director based in New York City, said in an email to the P-R. "They're all grassroots folks who have been working in the community for years, so the notion that they are anything but expertly familiar with election law when they talk to voters is absurd."
He said the party supports anyone's efforts to get people to vote, as long as it is done legally.
"We're in favor of every effort to let folks exercise their right to vote in Plattsburgh, and the party has always been explicit that voters should be fully compliant with election law," Schoieb said.
Clinton County Democratic Party Chairman Martin Mannix said he supports giving people opportunities to vote, but he had nothing to do with the absentee-ballot efforts that Republicans are questioning.
"I don't believe anybody is doing anything illegal," he said.
"I haven't received any complaints."
Mannix said he doubts most of the races will be affected by the absentee ballots.
"I think this is an issue that some people jumped on to get some publicity to give their opponents a black eye," he said.
Dame said there could be hundreds of absentee ballots distributed that may be tainted, and it could impact the election. Legal action will probably be sought, he said.
"This is not the way to win an election," he said.
"Do it fairly and based on the merits. We will have to put our faith and trust in the hands of the informed voters of my district."

Finally, I never use the center point either. Why would I?
Just for amusement I thumbed through the first three pages of your Flickr stream to see what you shoot. I found it amusing that all but maybe 2 photos had the subject smack dab in the center.
This is just the stupid comment I was expecting from you. The faces are in focus right? They're faces aren't in the center. They are two AF points up the vertical set of AF points on my camera.
In other words, you're wrong. See ya.

Memo to Candidates: What to Do In Case of Voter Problems
by Matt Stoller, Tue Nov 07, 2006 at 06:23:55 AM EST
Here's some advice for Democratic candidates in tight races where there are electoral problems, such as Victoria Wulsin in OH-02. You need to be prepared for your opponent to steal votes using a mix of local operatives and national legal expertise. Here are some tips for what to do if you find yourself in one of these situations.
First of all, you will be dead-tired. It will be 10pm and there will be weird reports of voting problems, but you will want to sleep for a year. There will be people tell you that you should concede. Pick yourself up and realize that if it's close, you probably won this election, but that's not necessarily what the tallies are showing. This situation could continue for days. You will be able to rest in a week, but you have to fight for now. Don't concede. Your supporters expect you to fight for them.
Your most powerful opponent is corrupt or incompetent voting authorities who release incomplete numbers that are narrowly favorable to your opponent. Once numbers come out, even if they are shaky, incomplete, and/or uncertain, perceptions begin to form in voters' minds about who won and lost. Don't underestimate everyone's desire for a quick resolution. You must fight this desire if you think there is any chance that this election wasn't decided properly.
Here are some tips on how to do so.
1) Document bad faith acts
Usually election theft happens with campaigns that have already done shady things. Weird mailers, lying, FEC violations, voter suppression, etc. Most campaigns have trails of illicit dealings. These should be documented to show a pattern of misbehavior on the part of your opposition. This pattern is very important when telling your side of the story and delegitimizing your opponents' claims.
2) 'I'm confident of victory when all the votes are counted.'
Claim victory. Voters won't stand behind people who don't think they've won. The 'we must count every vote' line doesn't work, it doesn't work with the people and it doesn't work in courts. If you don't want to declare victory, say that you are confident of victory and want to make sure all the votes are counted.
3) Immediately Appeal to Authorities
If there are illicit activities (like robocalls or electoral irregularities), report them to authorities and file complaints. Be very loud and public about these complaints. This will help with the necessary narrative of unseemly activities on the part of your opposition.
How do you know whether there is real electoral theft?
You don't. In fact incompetence and corruption are often indistinguishable, because one way of stealing an election is to build incompetence into the electoral process before the election and then take advantage of it the day of.
Now, of course you don't want to pretend like there's voter theft when there's not. But realize that uncertainty is the main emotion you'll feel, because there is rarely clear proof of electoral theft the night of the election. Work through it. If there are problems, be very aggressive about pushing the message out that if the process is fully vetted that you think you will win. The worst that happens is some embarrassment if you are wrong. And if you don't do this, the Republicans will, and the worst that happens if you don't fight is, oh, war with Iran.

|Years played
|2011, 4th round, 2nd pick by Seahawks
Seahawks promote Giacomini, Robinson
The Seahawks released WR Ruvell Martin and C Chris White on Saturday, just three days after they had been added to the roster. The moves were made so the team could promote OT Breno Giacomini and QB Zac Robinson from ...
Hasselbeck out, Whitehurst to start vs. Giants
Charlie Whitehurst will make his first-ever NFL start on Sunday, as the Seahawks announced that QB Matt Hasselbeck is out with a concussion.
Loss of DE Bryant a big blow to Seahawks
With Red Bryant being placed on injured reserve after suffering an injury to his right knee in the Week Eight loss in Oakland, the Seahawks now find themselves with a real potential problem on the defensive line.
Seahawks add three to roster
The Seahawks signed three more players to their active roster on Wednesday.
Seahawks place Bryant, Hamilton on I.R.
The Seahawks placed DE Red Bryant (knee) and OLG Ben Hamilton (concussion) on injured reserve Tuesday. Both players suffered their injuries in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.
Seahawks licking wounds after rout by Raiders
In addition to getting beaten to a pulp by the suddenly red-hot Raiders in Week Eight, the Seahawks' already ailing roster was further depleted by a new rash of injuries, including a knee injury to DE Red Bryant.
Raiders roll past Seahawks 33-3
Jason Campbell threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns, and Oakland's defense did the rest to help the Raiders even their record at the midpoint of the season with a 33-3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Tatupu remains Seahawks' trusty traffic cop
Change has been a constant under Pete Carroll in Seattle, but one thing has remained the same: MLB Lofa Tatupu is still the defense's undisputed traffic cop.
Seahawks activate FB Ganther
The Seahawks elevated FB Quinton Ganther to the active roster on Tuesday and placed RB Chris Henry and OT Breno Giacomini on their practice squad.
Week Eight power rankings
Leading the NFC West with a 4-2 record, Pete Carroll's Seahawks are quietly creeping up in PFW's power rankings.

Seattle beats Arizona 22-10, takes division lead
Olindo Mare kicked five field goals, Matt Hasselbeck threw a 2-yard touchdown to Mike Williams, and the Seahawks took advantage of five Arizona turnovers in an unimpressive 22-10 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Lynch, Forsett enjoying reunion in Seattle
We hear the Seahawks couldn't be happier over the instantly apparent chemistry between RBs Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett in the team's newly revamped backfield.
Lynch starting, but Forsett still contributing in Seattle
Many thought the arrival of Marshawn Lynch in Seattle meant the end of Justin Forsett's fantasy value, but that proved not to be the case.

What's currently the best practice with launcher icons for J2ME applications, which can be installed on all Nokia's S40 and S60 devices with qvga or better? I guess several different jar files would need to be created for "native-looking" icons, is there any official documentation or recommendations on this?
There are guidelines for icon sizes and styles for full touch and touch and type S40 devices [1]:
Full touch:
Bitmap size 56x56 pixels, rounded rectangle background 50x50, white logo 30x30
Touch and type:
Bitmap size 43x43 pixels, rounded rectangle background 37x37, white logo with drop shadow 26x26
For non-touch, the recommendation is to use same icons as touch and type [2]. However, other resources such as [3] say, that the correct icon size for S40 qvga devices would be 46x48. How do touch and type icons work in practice on older devices? If scaling occurs, the rounded backgrounds of icons will probably look quite bad and also the backgrounds may look really small compared to icons where the picture fills the whole area. The touch and type style 43x43 icon looks unsymmetrical and too small compared to others at least on N81, which is qvga S60 3rd FP1 device, I don't have older S40 devices at hand to test.
From the above, at least 3 different jar files would be needed:
1) Full touch style
2) Touch and type style (perhaps used also for newer non-touch devices)
3) Everything else - 46x48 bitmap icon (with rounded corners but the rounded area filling the whole bitmap), with a svg using S60 template for newer S60 devices, which support svg
Is there another way to do this? Or is it better to just forget about the icon guidelines also for newer devices, make a single jar, and use a 46x48 icon, with no rounded rect background, for all devices?

Two reviews in one day? Wow. Thanks, Carlos!
Gushing over my counter, this beer is a mildly hazy blackish dark brown with reddish brown highlights. There's a thin, light brown head with pretty good retention and minimal lacing. The nose is great. It delivers all I'd want from a dunkel weizenbock. Banana bread esters, whole wheat bread, some chocolate, a little clove, this is a beautiful blend. A touch of cola is also present. Alcohol is shockingly well hidden.
The palate is initially way too fizzy, but once the carbonation settles down, this improves quite a bit. A nice, moderately sweet banana bread character along with some clove, yeast, whole wheat and dark caramel is present. The sweetness is moderate, probably a little overdone, but it works here. The mid-palate has a mild spicy phenolic character to go with a mild chocolate character. Sweet on the finish with caramel-drizzled banana bread, this beer nails the essence of the fruity banana bread character that weizenbocks are supposed to have. Medium in body and a little to carbonated early on, this really does shine once it warms up, quietens down and has had time to open up. Excellent.

750 mL bottle poured into a weizen glass.
Pours a cola brown color with a huge off white head that slowly fades. Smell is quite sweet with grapes and plums. Some malts as well. Taste is sweet and smooth. Very good tasting beer. Lots of fruits including raisins and plums with a malty finish. No alcohol is noticed. Great tasting beer. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and still great carbonation. Overall this is truly a great beer.

Bottle pour at the bottle share hosted by Adam Fine Wine & Liquor held at Sophie's Place in Redondo Beach, CA.
Pours a clear dark copper with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, brown sugar, yeast, spice, and some fruity aromas. Taste is much the same with dark fruit flavors and a spice finish. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with some solid aromas and flavors that is tasty and easy to drink.

Review from 3/2011 notes. Poured into a Black Raven pint glass. Pours a cloudy dark red-orange amber. Nice thick white head and lacing. Looks nice. Aroma is a strong blend of light fruit, banana, caramel and some phenolic components. A medium bodied creamy ale. Tastes great with dark and light fruit, caramel, light spicing and only a hint of wheat. Very nicely made. A somewhat astringent finish takes away from an otherwise superb bock.

Bottle courtesy of BeerWorld in a trade about a year ago.
Pours a semi-translucent brown in color with plenty of ruby red highlights and an average sized soapy khaki colored head that dissipates surprisingly fast.
The aromas begin quite muted but open up dramatically as it warms. A great deal of caramel candied maltiness with lesser amounts of toffee, light milk chocolate and an underlying dark fruitiness highlighted by ripe figs. There is an underlying banana bread yeastiness which is extremely mild and well integrated at this point.
The tastes follow the nose but with a bunch more dark fruitiness. Plenty of dark caramelized malts coupled with light sweet milk chocolate and light candy toffee. Really a ton of raisin fruitiness and caramel candy flavors, but it def not too sweet or anywhere near cloying despite my flavor descriptors. What keep it in balance is the nice lager weizen yeast. It adds a nice dryness and mild spice/clove balance which is awesome.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Finish is initially sweet and yet dry and clean thanks to the weizen yeast characteristics. Really a great balance which is always a plus in my book.
Overall this is the second best Weizenbock I have ever had. It is more malty than the traditional Aventinus example (which is top class for me), but this is a really nice American take on a style which is traditionally too yeasty and not a huge favorite of mine, but this was super. Still drinkable with zero alcohol which is always impressive for a lager of this ABV. Def recommended and absolutely well worth seeking out for fans of AleSmith or fans of the style.

Opened this for no good goddamn reason at all.
Alesmith Decadence 09. Malty, dark fruit!!!! There's a real strong sweetness that lingers on the finish. It's like sucking on a hard candy. Highly carbed and creamy. This could of easily been port barrel aged. It's so fruity with such a nice mild sweetness that it's more like a BSDA or Quad. A little heat still, this could age well for years to come.

Thanks for opening this gusher, Mike. Served into a snifter.
A: A gusher of a bottle exploded upon opening but made for a great looking beer in the glass. This beer poured a murky dark brown with a huge off-white head that faded into a great thick fuzzy film that left decent lacing.
S: I get dominant notes of sweet fruits including sweet berries and grape jelly.
T: Follows the nose with flavors of sweet grapes and raisins, spicy sweet fruits, dark fruits, plums, prunes and a bit of vanilla and chocolate. The finish is heavy and contains a bit of ripe banana.
M: Medium-full body, very frothy carbonation that bubbles up on my palate, and a tingly, airy mouthfeel.
O: Enjoyable flavors but the over carbonation took away from the mouthfeel and drinkability. Definitely worth a try though. Thanks again Mike.

'Looper' star Joseph Gordon-Levitt leaks some spoilers [VIDEO]
After first teaming up on the high school noir "Brick," actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt and writer-director Rian Johnson are back together for the mind-bending science-fiction flick "Looper." Gordon-Levitt stars as a man who works as a time travel-assisted hit man for the mob who one day is confronted with a challenging target: his older self, played by Bruce Willis. While the film doesn't reach theaters until September, the pair hit WonderCon — Comic-Con's younger brother — to begin the careful campaign of building interest in their new film.
You're bringing a movie like this to WonderCon, but obviously you don't want to give away too much about it. What's the fine line you walk to generate interest without giving too much away?
Rian Johnson: We were just having this conversation on the elevator, so we'll test it out on you. I don't know, it's weird because when you first start talking about a movie you have to figure out what to say and what to not say — especially with something like this. We're showing the first teaser trailer here and releasing a photo, and one of the big elements of the movie is how we made Joe into a younger version of Bruce Willis. I feel like that's kind of the first big thing we're showing people, how we attempted that. The two big elements of that were makeup and Joe's performance.
How much of a challenge was that for you, Joe, being turned into a young Bruce Willis?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt: It's kind of a dream. One of the things — if not the thing — I love about acting is becoming somebody else, and when you literally change your face that's a transition that's different from any other performance that I've ever done in my life. So there was the makeup, and then also just hanging around with Bruce, getting to know him, watching his movies and studying them, listening to his voice on my iPod all the time, developing that character. It was really fun. It's a really fun way to approach an acting job.
It must be interesting walking around with Bruce Willis' voice in your ear all day.
JGL: Interesting is maybe not the word I would use. (laughs)
Was the plan always to have two actors for the older and younger versions of the character?
RJ: Initially when I cast Joe, before we had cast Bruce, we were talking about the option of just either doing makeup or doing something…
JGL: And I, the egotistical actor, was going, "Let me do both! Let me do both!" (laughs) I'm so glad that's not what we did.
RJ: The reason I actually came down against it was twofold. First, aging makeup on younger actors — I don't feel like I've ever seen it completely work. There's been some tremendous work that's been done, but I feel like if you know what an actor looks like who's young, at least I as a moviegoer can usually see right through it. The bigger thing, though, a big part of the hook of the movie for was the idea of a young man sitting across from an older man who's himself. You can make someone up, Joe is a fantastic actor, but there is something about a span of 25 years between two people that you can't fake, that just buys you something that's intangible and very essential to what this movie is basically about.
OK, but why not go the other way and try to make Bruce Willis look like an older Joseph Gordon-Levitt?
RJ: We kind of figured Joe would be more up for three hours in the makeup chair than Bruce.

North Wales abuse victim's apology for accusing Tory peer Lord McAlpine
A man who was abused whilst living in the Bryn Estyn care home near Wrexham in the 1970s and 80s, has apologised to a Conservative peer for wrongly identifying him. Earlier Lord McAlpine had denied any link to allegations of child abuse and said that it was a case of mistaken identity.
Steve Messham, who made the accusations, is committed to co-operating with the new inquiry into sexual abuse in care homes around North Wales in the 1970s and 1980s, according to his lawyer Mike Gray.
This evening it remains Steven Messham's intention to co-operate fully with Keith Bristow's team conducting the inquiry announced by the home secretary . Mr Messham has spent many years living with the memory of abhorrent abuse perpetrated by individuals whom were never brought to justice.
Mr Messham contends that there were flaws in the original child abuse inquiry presided over by Sir Ronald Waterhouse and it is hoped that this new investigation will establish why this was the case and what lessons can be learned.

The case against an Arizona woman who spent two decades on death row in the murder of her 4-year-old son has been dealt a crushing blow.
A judge on Wednesday said former detective Armondo Saldate doesn't have to testify at Debra Milke's retrial.
Saldate has said he wanted to assert his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and does not want to testify. On Wednesday, the judge granted his request.
"After careful consideration of the totality of the circumstances, the court finds that it is not 'perfectly clear' that Saldate is mistaken and that his testimony could not possibly have the tendency to incriminate him," the judge's order stated.
Without his testimony on her purported confession, prosecutors can't use it at her retrial.
In other cases, the detective has been accused of lying under oath. If defense attorneys brought that up in the Milke retrial to try to hurt his credibility, he fears he could face prosecution in those cases.
Milke was accused of having two men shoot her 4-year-old son in 1989. She spent 24 years on death row. An appeals court overturned her conviction in March and she is free on bond pending a 2015 retrial.
