Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn is giving himself a little breathing room on proposing a state budget.
The Democrat signed legislation Tuesday that delays until March 6 his annual address to a joint session of the General Assembly.
State law required him to propose by Wednesday a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. But he would have had the ear of only half the Legislature. The House is in session Springfield this week, but the Senate isn't.
The law has been changed in each of the three previous years to accommodate changes in budget scheduling.
Quinn will likely focus on the still-unsolved public-employee pension crisis. The state also has $9 billion in overdue bills.
The bill is HB156.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Wu-Tsus Buffalo Passes Through the Window
Wu-tsu said, It is like a buffalo that passes through a latticed window. Its head, horns, and four legs all pass through. Why cant its tail pass through as well?
Wu-Men's Comment
If you can get upside down with this one, discern it clearly, and give a turning word to it, you can meet the Four Obligations above and give comfort to the Three Existences below. But if it is not yet clear, pay close attention to the tail and you will resolve it at last.
Wu-Men's VersePassing through, falling into a ditch;Turning beyond, all is lost.This tiny little tail What a wonderful thing it is!
This case is famous for being one of the most difficult of all koans, so I thought Id begin by talking about what it means to say that a koan is difficult. What kind of difficulty are we talking about?
Superficially, a koan seems to have the form of a riddle, and unfortunately they are all too often approached that way. We imagine that we can find the trick or the gimmick that will unlock its meaning. Perhaps the most famous riddle in Western literature is the one the Sphinx is said to have posed to Oedipus, What walks on four legs in the morning, on two legs in the afternoon, and on three legs in the evening?When we get it, suddenly it makes sense. But although answering the Sphinxs riddle supposedly saved Oedipus life, it only re-confirmed his confidence in his own cleverness and in the power of his reason to solve any problem. The real problem of who he was remained untouched, and if anything, his arrogant self-confidence was increased. If were not careful, we can learn to understand koans in this just this superficial sort of way, and come away with nothing but increased sense of our own cleverness.
Another kind of difficulty is the sort we encounter in poetry whose structure is complex and highly allusive. Ezra Pounds Cantos is a good example. This long poem opens with the words, And then... Why does it seem to be starting in the middle? And it goes on with a translation from that section of Homers Odyssey where Odysseus goes down to the Underworld, and offers a blood sacrifice to the ghosts of the dead who gather around, so that they can drink their fill and momentarily be re-animated and answer his questions. Why is Pound re-telling that particular story at the beginning of his own poem? As we read on, we encounter allusions to more classical literature, as well Renaissance and Chinese history and the Provencal troubadours. In order to understand whats going on we need to familiarize ourselves with a vast cultural heritage that weve probably only been dimly aware of, and in studying Pounds sources, we make them our own, and see them in a new light. We realize how we were like those hungry ghosts who needed to drink deeply of what the poet was offering up for us. Working through this kind of difficulty makes us learn and be changed by what we learn. So were getting warmer.
Then theres the difficulty we face when we sit with our pain. Of course nobody likes pain. But do we try to master it and become so tough that we can endure anything? Or do we shrink from it, afraid we wont be able to stand what life throws at us? When we treat pain as a koan, we go beyond these habitual ways of coping. We sit with the pain, without thoughts of mastery or escape, without judging how well or how badly were handling it. We just let our experience be our experience. In that moment, our whole notion of difficulty dissolves along with our strategies for dealing with it.
But this koan goes further, and reminds us that even this experience of being just this moment is not the end of the story. That tail remains. We cant use such experiences to transcend our problems, or go eyond our difficulties. Heres another example: how do we face aging? So many people spend their lives feeling at one time or another that theyre either too young or too old. We number our years. How many do you have? Too many? Too few? As we get older, how do we cope with the changes in our bodies, the joints that get stiffer, the muscles that get weaker, the stomachs that no longer can enjoy the same foods? When we sit, all that judgment drops off. We realize that we are no age at all, we are just who we are at this moment. The buffalo has stuck his head through the window. But when we get up from our cushion, we still must take our medication, watch our diet, and exercise in a way suited to our age and strength. That tail never disappears. Striking a balance between these two perspectives is the practice of a lifetime, and all of us are in danger of leaning too far in one direction or another at various points in our practice.
What kind of ditch do you fall into? Do you try to use practice to become above it all, rather than engaging with life? Or do you worry that after all these years of practice you still havent gotten it, or blame yourself for still having problems in your life? (Shouldnt I have gotten over that by now?) Do you turn practice into a lifetime of self-improvement, forgetting your essential perfection.? Or do you turn a glimpse of our essential perfection into grounds for self-congratulation and complacency? When this koan turns us upside down, we can truly say with Wu-men, What a marvelous, difficult life I lead!

Keeps PO4 in check By danny on 7/31/2014danny would recommend this product to a friendVery low dust unlike other types of GFO & you use less of it to achieve the same results which reduces stress on your pump. My PO4 levels are around 0.03 ppm using the HANNA CHECKER.
Best GFO on the market By Sean on 5/26/2014Sean would recommend this product to a friendThis is the best GFO I have used before. It lowers my Phosphates better than any other product on the market. The corals have noticeably become more colorful as well. Good product!
Regular vs Hi-Cap GFO By Drew on 5/11/2014Drew would recommend this product to a friendI goofed and ordered Regular GFO instead of the Hi-Cap that I normally order.
YES.... there is a difference.... My Phosphate levels have reacted accordingly.
I have double the PO4 than I normally have when using the Hi-Cap.
High Capacity GFO. By Śruba on 5/10/2014Śruba would recommend this product to a friendI would buy it again because this media works very well for me. Try it yourself and see what I mean.
Thank you BRS.
Look no further! By MUSBFRANK on 4/30/2014MUSBFRANK would recommend this product to a friendLet's just say I had a serious phosphate problem and tried several other medias. I put the recommended amount of GFO in a nylon sock and pumped water through it with a powerhead. It's a 750gal reef tank and the phospates had soared up to 2.0, after putting the GFO I tested the water roughly 3 days later and they were barely detectable. Can't say enough about this stuff and I will never use anything else!
Works Great!!! By Andy on 4/4/2014Andy would recommend this product to a friend2nd time ordering & works great with fantastic results..ie perfect water parameters.
Very good at removing phosphate By KEVIN on 4/2/2014KEVIN would recommend this product to a friendWorks great. It's a little pricey but it does what I need
great stuff By Chicago on 3/25/2014Chicago would recommend this product to a friendnice and clean. I use in my reactor. With other brands took like 15 gallons until clean and clear water was following. With this high capacity only takes like 5 gallons to run clean. Love it and would recommend for all phosphate issues. Of course you cant beat the BRS service and price.
Best way to keep my phosphates low By Michael on 3/18/2014Michael would recommend this product to a friendI run this GFO in my 90 gallon mixed reef tank. Have it running in a 2 Little Fishes reactor and it works great. Replace every 4-6 months and my phosphates stay at zero. Highly recommend.
great product By angelo on 3/17/2014angelo would recommend this product to a friendbeen using this product since i started my tank. never had an issue with phosphates. lasts a long time and only have to use a little bit.

Men's soccer falls to DePaul 2-0

Aug. 31, 2007
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The JU men's soccer team dropped its 2007 regular season opener to DePaul, 2-0, Friday afternoon at Wish Field.
Eric Hermosillo opened the scoring in the 25th minute for the Blue Demons after being assisted by Alex Mangan and Steffen Vroom. Mangan and Vroom linked up again in the 80th minute with Vroom getting his second assist after feeding Mangan.
The Dolphins came close to changing their fortunes in the second half as Ramak Niakan safi's header went just wide of the left post in the 64th minute. Less than two minutes later Riley Butler's header hit off the crossbar.
"We were a few missed opportunities away from making this a different contest," said JU head coach Mike Johnson. "We knew this was going to be a tough stretch to start our season and now we have to get ready for another tough opponent on Sunday."
The game marks the first of a six game road trip to open the season. The Dolphins will return to action again on Sunday against Loyola-Chicago at 2 p.m.

This great eatery plus beer bar is definitely a must if you live in Portland, or if ever you visit this great city. The small size and subtle music help create a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Bartender was alert and helpful, but never overly friendly. The selection of beers on tap is small, but they offer only outstanding brews, mainly from the Pacific Northwest. Their food is very good - I heartily recommend their wonderful bread with olive oil, and especially the mushroom barley soup. I'm sure the other fare is at least as good.

My wife and I spent a weekend in Portland, and went to Higgins for a dinner with old friends.
Based on the rating system I can see why this place gets the rating it does, but it's not as good as it sounds.
Atmosphere is great. White table cloths, subdued lighting, it's well furnished and quiet.
Quality of both food and drink is quite good. The beer, wine and liquor are all very good quality.
Selection in terms of beer is more limited than a lot of places. Good quality, but only about a dozen taps . Nothing you couldn't get elsewhere in Portland probably at a better price.
Food it where the place really runs off the rails. They are too busy trying to be trendy with things like dandelion leaves, duck and kale, at the expense of the basics. We ordered 3 flatiron steaks and none were cooked as ordered. All undercooked, and I am medium rare steak man. Not a single chicken entree, which disagreed with the ladies. Everything on the place was the same color (dark) and same texture. Sauteed beets, kale and dandelions. The plate would have benefited from a splash of color. Carrots, asparagus, green beans. From the previous reviews it sounds like lunch may be a better time to visit Higgins.
The place is over-trendy and overpriced.
Again, based on the criteria. even my review makes the place sound better than it really is. The food is better in concept that in execution. Given the prices, I'd fire the chef and expand the tap selection. Next time I go to Portland I'll likely skip Higgins.

Higgins is my favorite place to enjoy a meal and a beer in Portland. Specifically, the back bar. The servers are all knowledgable about local craft brews, belgians, and the like. They have several regular taps including Guinness and Chimay, and always feature the best seasonal beers from the area.
I would avoid anything IPA from the bottle menu. We found that they have bottles of Pliny the Elder that are more than a year old.
The lunchtime sandwich and salad special is the best in town.
Highly recommend Higgins!

We walked into this place on a weekday evening after walking down from the Pioneer Courthouse Square area. At first we were a bit confused, because it appeared to be a quite fancy restaurant. We asked for the bar, and a helpful employee directed us. The bar is in a completely separated room, and has almost a ship-like feel. It's dark with lots of wood and yellow lighting. They were playing some pretty bad music. Mostly 70's easy listening type stuff.
We grabbed a spot at the small bar and perused the selection. It's actually a relatively small draught selection. About 9 on tap, and nothing crazy-good. But the Belgian bottle selection was amazing. The selection merits a 4.0 on the strength of the Belgian bottle list alone. Of course, it doesn't come cheap. This is probably the most expensive beer in Oregon. Even the stuff on tap was at least double the price it should have been. Everything appeared to be really high quality though, and served in appropriate glassware. Our server was very friendly and nice.
Overall it gets high marks, but the cost can be prohibitive. This is an excellent stop for those who live in the area and are looking for Belgians, but tourists are better off somewhere else to try Oregon microbrews at lower prices.

Ah, my bi-annual (give or take) visit to Higgins...as is often the case, these trips coincide with a rainy/sunny spring day and are unplanned. No exception here, an ambling stroll from work in a steady drizzle. A happy early birthday present to me...
Higgins, as mentioned a time or ten in prior reviews, is as classy a 'beer bar' as you'll find. It's not necessarily glitzy or glamourous, just comfortably elegant. In a dozen or so visits over the years, only once did we enjoy dinner in one of two small dining rooms that face SW Broadway; every other visit has been for a lunch, taken in the cozier bar around the corner on SW Jefferson.
The bar's space is dominated by a shelved backdrop, laden with glassware and booze bottles, garnished with faux-vintage(?) beer/wine placards and posters. South-facing windows ensure plenty of natural light, although the looming Ladd Tower condos across the street keep things much more shady than they once were. In front of the shelving is a thick slab of a bar, functional if not really ornate, and a gathering of 10-12 sturdy stools. Floors are of warm, but well- worn wood, walls are paneled in light tones and the ceiling has a vintage feel, adorned with pressed tin.
A barman (often Charles - I've seen him most every time the last 6-8 visits) offers a friendly greeting and seamlessly recites the day's specials. The cheapskate in me knows I can rely on the daily sandwich/salad special; a paltry $9 (compared with other lunch entrees in the $12-18 range) buys an exemplary portion of Higgins fare. On this latest visit it was a duck/pork terrine, garnished with quince chutney, spiced mustard, dried cherries, greens and hazelnuts layered between slabs of pumpernickel aside a heap of chunky potato salad and varied pickles...pair that with a 0.5l Hacker-Pschorr Weisse (my choice, but affirmed by the bartender as the best option) and you have something approaching the Divine. I could try to list other dishes I've had from memory, but would fail...suffice to say the food here will range from the 'merely' very good to the outstanding. As cliche as it sounds, I've not had a bad dish yet.
I've made it this far and have barely mentioned beer! Yesterday, I counted 11 taps & a cask handpump - two were out, though (Affligem Blond and HotD Greg ~ damn!). The others were: Chimay Tripel, Lindemans Framboise, Reissdorf Kolsch, the H-P Weisse (see above), Dogfish Head 60 Minute, Hopworks DOA, Double Mountain Hop Lava, and Guinness (nitro, of course); the cask was Beer Valley's Pigskin Pale. As I recall some of these are mainstays on the menu (the imports mostly) while the locals tend to rotate more (though Greg - named for restaurant owner/chef Greg Higgins - is one they keep on hand as often as possible).
A perusing of the bottled beer list (2 sides of a printed card) once seemed jaw-dropping; now only the prices seem so. It's not that the list is bad whatsoever; there's an excellent range of styles from Belgium, Germany, the UK and other points abroad. Belgians dominate the list, with about 50 bottles ranging from wits to lambics to quadrupels; the other categories have maybe 12-15 bottles each. The US collection of 20-25 is mostly comprised of Oregon locals (Rogue, Deschutes, HUB, Hair of the Dog) with a scattering of others (of note: Russian River, Jolly Pumpkin, Ommegang, Stone). Expect prices to be about double what could be found at a bottle shop and expect pints to run at least $6. A couple interesting notes: I saw Hair of the Dog's Michael and Cherry Adam from the Wood (both 12 oz. bottles) listed for $20 each; I also spotted PBR tallboys (Portland's ubiquitous hipster fave) for $4...had to laugh at that one.
With all the great new beer bars popping up throughout the metro area, it's easy to forget about Higgins. It was, is, and will remain more of an upscale restaurant than a bar...but it's still a place I enjoy on occasion and is certainly still at the top of it's game food+drink-wise. A (splurge)worthy destination - though follow my lead and try the lunch special, neither your belly or wallet will be disappointed.
Disclaimer: To review this place for food and beer in 2010, one must set aside some of what he/she knows of the craft beer 'explosion' in recent years. When Higgins first arrived on the dining scene, well over a decade ago, it was revolutionary. Fresh, local ingredients were the standard there well before the idea caught on elsewhere; local wineries were featured, too, and the beer list was among the widest ranging to be found anywhere. A 'beer steward' (the equivalent of a sommelier for the wine drinkers) is on staff now, acting to guide diners toward ideal pairings with their meals; for the educated beer drinker, the service may seem unnecessary and the tone may even be condescending - still it's an admirable gesture toward elevating beer to a much higher status at the dinner table, something this restaurant should be proud of. Kudos.

I was excited to be able to stop by here during my latest visit to Portland. Higgins is located on the busy corner of Broadway and Jefferson. There are two dinning rooms on the Broadway side and a bar room in back.
White tablecloths, hardwood floors, tasteful artwork, two tone cream and green paint scheme and tin ceilings set the tone.
11 draft choices and a great bottle list with a heavy emphasis on Belgium choices. I didn't count, but I would guess they offer in excess of 100 bottles. Believe me, you will find something you like. Drafts come in glasses and pints.
Service was very informed and friendly. It was a trifle slow, but I was in no hurry. Also, their cuisine seems well suited for a more leisurely pace.
The menu contains lots of salads and starters. Two soup choices and a small but varied selection of main courses. There is lots of emphasis on PNW ingredients. They offer very nice homemade pastrami.
All-in-all, a great spot for good food and good beers.

I come here from time to time and can grab a unique draft and/or decent bottle. The place has a nice location right by the park blocks and good atmosphere inside
The bar side is a bit small but has a nice aura to it and the bar/bar-top itself is classy, much like the staff. I have had nothing but good experiences with the staff and one barkeep in general is always super nice. The selection is fair and the bottle list does not change that much, it might be nice if they had a few more taps, not bad though
If any quarrels exist it is with price. The place is kinda upscale and more of a restaurant than a bar or pub. I have not had the food but I hear it is banging
Swing in if your in the area and get some tasty brews

Through a quick review of the prices on the menu during my first visit to Higgins, I decided that I'd just dine on beer.
I wasn't really that hungry anyway; although I did take notice that several of the dishes passing before me en route looked wonderful and smelled quite good. In fact, one couple at the booth closest to me seemed enthralled with their selections. But I was here for beer...
My bartender was good, but almost too good. He was engaged in several conversations at the opposite end of the bar and just couldn't get up to me.
When he finally did arrive, I was ready. I'd made my selection and I was ready to go but no, no, no - that was too easy for him! He had to make some small talk and then make suggestions for beer. ... ... ... Well, I don't really need small talk - that's just to help bolster his tip - and I don't really need suggestions (I've been brewing professionally for close to two decades and I'd already made up my mind about my selection) but he started into it. So, OK, you know about beer! Great! So do I. I'll still take the same beer I ordered the first time, thanks. He wasn't snooty, but he seemed like a salesman. I politely declined food as well, although he did put a good sell/spin on that.
Otherwise, it's a nice looking place. It's kind of old school looking out onto the street. It's got a tin ceiling, a wood floor, wood paneled walls, and a wood topped bar (it's a very nice big block with cubes of darker wood cut-in).
And getting back to the beer, there are ten taps (a hand pump for cask?) and about a hundred beers in bottles.
It's a decent place, but not one that I would frequent much if I lived there as it's kind of expensive.

All three people arrested and charged with obstruction of justice after last week's fatal shooting at the Moody Manor apartment complex are self-proclaimed members of the "Manor Boys" gang.
The shooting killed 1-year-old Keondra Hooks and seriously injured her 2-year-old sister Leondra.
A music video posted publicly on YouTube features lyrics about the complex and shows people wearing clothing with the words "2200 Kent", the address of the complex.
The video also appears to show Keshawn Jennings, one of the men arrested in the case.
Jennings and the two other suspects, Antwoine Jones and James Moore, all have tattoos similar to those featured in the video.
Moore's Facebook page contains posts saying "I'm that same dirty a** manor boy" and "stop snitchin... That's a real bad thing cause you might die too early".
All three men have been arrested at Moody Manor in the past, but none of them live there.
Since the shooting Toledo Police have stepped up policing at Moody Manor and say they are cracking down on gangs like the manor boys.
An anti-gang initiative introduced in the spring called T-CIRV is targeting people like the three suspects.
The ultimate goal of T-CIRV is to bring more serious charges against the worst offenders.
"It's a long term program that measures its effectiveness in years and not months," said Toledo Police Sergeant Joe Heffernan.

Town Square
Impeachment Not Appeasement
Original post made by Carol Brouillet on May 30, 2007
Activists wrote books, staged demonstrations and rallies, spelled out "IMPEACH" upon beach after beach to pressure the media into covering the issue and members of Congress into upholding their oaths to defend the Constitution against all enemies- foreign and domestic. Representative Cynthia McKinney, who courageously introduced the first articles of impeachment before leaving office last year, was crucified by the press and by her own Democratic Party for daring to champion truth and justice and failing to toe the "party line."
Last month during the national shopping boycott for Impeachment for Peace, prior to the national day of action for impeachment, Dennis Kucinich introduced HR 333 ( Web Link) which would launch impeachment proceedings against Vice President Richard Cheney. The grounds are basically- 1) actively and systemically misleading citizens and Congress about the threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq undermining the genuine security interests of the United States, 2) manipulating public opinion about the relationship between al Qaeda and Iraq in order to gain support for a war, 3) threatening aggression against Iran in violation of international law, in a manner that destabilizes the region and harms the genuine national security interests of the United States.
Many who would otherwise join in the widespread calls for impeachment fear that removing Bush is pointless because we would only be stuck with Cheney. Kucinich's resolution reflects the concern that there might be another false flag event or fabricated incident or manipulation of intelligence to justify an expansion of the war into Iran. Kucinich has only three co-sponsors at the moment. Just in the past week, large "Impeachment Rallies" were held when Bush spoke at the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut, hundreds representing an array of impeachment, ant-war groups rallied to protest Cheney's address at West Point last Saturday, in Maine a hundred citizens rallied to present over 11,000 signatures to Maine's Senate and their Congressmen to urge them to impeach Bush and Cheney.
Resolutions for impeachment have already been passed by the Green Party, but are now being passed by the Democratic Parties in various States- California and Massachusetts, as well as by numerous cities, most recently Detroit, the mayor of which is married to Rep. John Conyers, chair of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee.
In Palo Alto, we demanded pre-emptive impeachment of Bush in January 2003 (as well as investigations back in 2002), in hopes of exposing "the fraudulent (and irrationally named) 'War on Terror,'" preventing the Iraq War, and reversing the disastrous policies bulldozed through Congress. Public awareness of these issues is much elevated since then, the ripening fruit of the grassroots efforts to demand justice and accountability from our government. We will continue our monthly impeachment rallies and marches in downtown Palo Alto until Congress moves forward with the impeachment process.
Our next Impeachment Rally will be on June 13, 2007, beginning at 1:00 pm in Lytton Plaza with KPFA's Flashpoints News magazine host, investigative journalist, Dennis Bernstein. 2007 Heroic Citizens' Awards will be presented. Superheroes- Superman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman and Yoda will lead a 2:00 pm march up and down University to Congresswoman Eshoo's office, encouraging her to support HR 333 and impeachment.

I loathe President Bush and he must be impeached and jailed, but he is the epitome of America: tyrannical, morally hysterical, anti-intellectual, bigoted, wealthy, powerful, self-absorbed, and violent.
Look at our popular culture with its mainstay of celebrating violence as the only "masculine" option in resolving male emotional stress; mainstream rap that ruthlessly condemns women, girls, and homosexuals for their inherent "immorality," justifying brutal oppression; "torture porn" in film that glorifies, essentially, gruesome misogynistic killings of young women; and our love affair with "shock jocks" whose sole "entertainment" value is callous hate.
Mind you, our popular culture refuses to even be bothered with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Our nation is not distressed by the wars but horribly bored by them, as we casually dismiss the rising death toll of our soldiers (never do we concern ourselves with Iraqi civilians).
Bush is the first president to make us pay for our national sins, by embodying them to the extreme. Not until we do a major overhaul of who we are as a people will we recapture the moral authority necessary to lead the world.
on May 31, 2007 at 7:10 am
The most frightening characteristic of the current administration is not its incompetence, but rather their methodical dismantling and recasting of the U.S. Constitution. When third-world strongmen, such as Chavez or Mugabe, rewrite their constitutions to give themselves more power, there is public outcry and condemnation in this country. Why, then, can we not recognize that a similar Constitutional coup is taking place here? Why do we so readily accept into our vocabulary such terms as the "unitary executive," as if we all learned about it back in high school but just forgot? Why do we sit back and accept as standard operating procedure the president's grotesque use of "presidential signing statements" that place him above any law passed by Congress? The public, aided by the media, act as if these kinds of actions are normal in American governance.
My father, an arch conservative all his life, shuddered at the election of Bush in 2000. He told me at that time that the United States was witnessing the rise of its first American emperor. I'm glad he's not around to see this.
on May 31, 2007 at 7:20 am
I do believe that we, as citizens are complicit in how we are viewed in the world.
Yes, most of the nation supported the war, but it was under false pretenses, under the great duress of a country that was attacked in the heart of our greatest city. This was a sleeping nation shaken awake from a deep sleep. The animals in the White House knew only too well how to use this against the people of America and Iraq.
There is a solution. It is, us, the people. We have to rid ourselves of the thugs in the White House. Bush and Cheney must be led out of the building by the will of the American people. The trick is how to get our cowardly and now complicit politicians to stand up and do the job.
We recognize the fatal error. We must fix it if we are ever to gain respect in the world again. Without our input are we much different than Hitler's Germany?

Saturday ended the 24-hour Chittenden County Above the Influence Retreat. It took place at the Marriott Courtyard in Burlington.
40 teens from 6 different high schools attended the event, discussing ways to prevent substance use among teens and promoting healthy lifestyles. Organizers say "Above the Influence", which is a national campaign, is the best way to hear teens' opinions on helping communities fight the temptations of drugs and alcohol.
Tian Berry a student at Burlington High School commented Saturday why she thought it was important to connect with her peers, "To see that they are in the same boat as me, they want to be healthy and live a good life."
Retreat Organizer, Mariah Sanderson explains, "This is just a chance for them to connect with other teens that are making those same healthy choices and show that kids in Chittenden County are living above the influence of drugs and alcohol."
Organizers hope to do this retreat annually.

A SpaceX space craft exploded in the air during testing on Friday at a Texas test site.
Police are investigating a shooting that happened about 1:50 p.m. Friday.
The shooting was reported in a business at East 35th Street and Prospect Avenue on the city's east side. The area was shut down for about three hours while police investigated. It reopened about 4:30 p.m.
Police said they believe the shooting happened along Prospect, between 35th and 36th streets. Witnesses reported seeing two gunman chasing a man down the street, shooting at him. Officers said they found dozens of shell casings in the street.
Police also reviewed surveillance video from a barber shop at the intersection, and it shows people get into a verbal altercation inside the shop, then go outside where the fight continued.
There was gunfire outside the barber shop and then police believe one of the gunmen went back inside, which is where a black male in his early-to-mid 20s was shot. The victim is listed in critical condition.
Police also believe through eye-witness accounts that there is a second victim. They are checking with area hospitals, but have not been able to locate the second shooting victim.
Authorities said it's fortunate the outcome wasn't worse.
"35th and Prospect is a very busy area, lots of vehicles driving through here, lots of pedestrian traffic. We're very fortunate that more people weren't struck," said Capt. Derek McCollum.
Police are looking for two suspects.

Principles of economics should be applied more readily to sexual interactions of attraction.
I'm not an economist, but through the course I became friends with the professor. Through discussion he would distill and pick out important material he felt I should learn. One of the principles he taught me was, if everyone is out selling apples, you should sell oranges. Idea behind this clear. Applied to interactions of attraction think about it like this; If every guy is being a 'nice guy' then be a bit of a jerk. Channel your inner James Dean – Rebel Without a Cause.
This is a very powerful tool to have in your arsenal. I think the power of this concept comes from standing out in an attractive way. I don't have studies to reference, but I would wager if you dressed 9 guys in black and 1 in white, women would rate the man in white more attractive than the others on account of wearing a different color.
Still to the principle of playing to your strengths but don't be afraid to switch things up. If you and everyone plays guitar, you might be the best guitarist but you're advantage is diminished by the fact that everyone else plays. Instead, show off your photography skill at taking artistic black and white photos.
Lastly, don't take this too far. You might be a house party drinking where everyone is telling drinking stories, but telling a girl about your Avant Garde writing skills is not going to help you. Don't leave the preverbal Conversation Neighborhood, just walk down a more interesting avenue than everyone else.

Many people feel an indescribable urge to follow in the footsteps of celebrities long passed?hoping that a connection to their genius or charm still lingers in the air of their apartments and favorite pubs. The guides of Esotouric understand and share this urge, though they prefer to roam the paths of history by bus. After scouring the famed neighborhoods of Los Angeles in search of interesting and outlandish locations, they share their findings on bus adventures that retrace the trails blazed by local artists, filmmakers, writers, and actors.
Esotouric's odysseys wind through haunts such as Raymond Chandler's favorite breakfast spot and the salon Charles Bukowski visited for his weekly knuckle-hair perm. Coloring their tours with anecdotes about the films adapted from his noirish stories, guides also visit locales captured in the cinematic landscapes of James M. Cain. Various tours explore Southern California?s culture, literature, and architectural sides, giving history hounds the chance to sniff out sinister deeds in old-time tattoo parlors, burlesque shows, and crime scenes.
Ghostly Tours in History's passionate guides unlock a portal to the paranormal, leading visitors to haunted and eerie sites around San Diego's Old Town district and Gaslamp Quarter. Depending on the tour, stops include Victorian mansions, the Whaley House, known graveyards, and even unknown graveyards, below which lie the bodies of restless souls. Featured on both the Travel Channel and the Fodor's Top 400, the company offers walking tours as well as bus and limousine tours for guests tired from giving their assigned ghost a piggyback ride.
In keeping with the historical nature of the tours, each guide dons a period costume and alter ego, ranging from reformed vagabonds to pioneering entrepreneur cowboys. In reality, the cast of guides is equally as diverse, encompassing trained actors, students, a Navy serviceman, and past and present members of the San Diego Historical Society.
At KWM Tours, guides with photographic expertise take tour groups out on all-day jaunts to extremely photogenic local sites.
While speedboats are as fast as their name suggests, no vessel on San Francisco Bay is faster than the RocketBoat. It flies across the Bay's waves to the high-energy guitar riffs of a rock-?n'-roll soundtrack. The RocketBoat is just one of Blue & Gold Fleet's 17 vessels, all manned by expert captains and crews that ferry about 2.5 million passengers annually. On their sightseeing cruises, passengers drink in panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and PIER 39, where sunning sea lions occasionally can be seen rubbing sunscreen on each other's backs. Meanwhile, Blue & Gold's ferries carry patrons to Sausalito, Tiburon, and other waterfront locales?including AT&T Park during baseball season?whereas their motorcoach tours chauffeur landlubbers to Northern California landmarks. All their services adhere to award-winning sustainability practices, which safeguard local ecosystems more effectively than arming every tree with pepper spray.
Starlite Lounge toasts to the night with a trifecta of evening attractions: drinks, food, and entertainment. The charmingly kitschy lounge plays host to late-night parties throughout the week, with live DJs, musicians, and karaoke setups stationed across two floors. Starlite's menu is designed to keep dancers going, with shareable flat-bread pizzas, zucchini cakes, and hearty burgers. The kitchen closes at 9 p.m. on weeknights and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The bar holds up its end of the bargain with specialty cocktails, including one sweet creation aptly named the lemon pound cake.
Green grassy slopes, white-sand beaches, and gently waving palm trees give way to the cerulean surf of the Pacific Ocean. Along the sun-soaked highway, convertibles and SUVs topped with surfboards change lanes to make room for an English double-decker bus. Big Red Bus?s drivers lead their tours from the helm of either an open-topped or close-topped bus with a converted lower-level bar. All buses are outfitted with stereo systems and painted bright red, signaling to monster trucks that they?re poisonous.
Drivers may take passengers on tours of local breweries, pubs, and wine bars, excursions to kayak or surf along the beach, or tours of southern California?most often driving along the coast to offer unobstructed, panoramic views of the ocean and city skyline. They also let passengers customize their own excursions around topics such as special event shuttling, weddings, or beer and wine tours.

Amarillo, Texas - Retailers are now allowed to charge extra fees for credit card use.
As of Sunday, store owners in most states will be able to charge shoppers a surcharge of up to three percent of the bill for using a credit card.
But ten states are already banning the extra charge, including Texas and Oklahoma.
If retailers do impose the fee, they are required to notify customers at the store entrance and at the point of sale.

This may not surprise you, but some Arizona residents want to secede from the United States following the outcome of the Presidential election.
The petition has already kicked off on the White House's web site stating that Arizona wants to withdraw from the nation to create its own government.
It states, "The citizens of the great state of Arizona have the right to stand for their principles. That man is granted unalienable rights, which are not the dispensations of the government, but find their beginnings in God and come from God alone. These are the principles that our forefathers stood for, the principles upon, which our Constitution is based, and those in which we firmly place our belief and resolve."
According to the web site, the creator of the petition is "Nicholas M" of Gilbert, Ariz. and it was posted on November 10th.
The petition has nearly 15,000 signatures and needs 25,000 by December 10th for the White House to consider the issue.
Kate Jones of Gilbert gladly signed the online petition for Arizona to secede from the United States. Obama's win has this mother of two thinking Arizona should just go it alone.
"I think we would do just fine if we made our own sets of rules, that we would be just fine," says Jones.
Former Arizona Attorney General and Romney supporter Grant Woods finds the whole idea of secession nutty.
"They view themselves as patriots and that's unpatriotic, that's not what it's all about. What it's about is you fight for your candidate and work hard and if the candidate loses then you support the candidate who won," says Woods. He says the petition is a waste of time and is divisive.
Even Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who obviously is not happy President Obama was elected to a second term, doesn't support going it alone.
"I believe the states make up the best country in the whole wide world and that's the United States of America. I believe in the United States. So we're not seceding this week, no I don't think so," Brewer says.
Woods says he would rather see people put their energy toward improving the state's education system or something that would make a difference in people's lives.
People in more than 30 other states have apparently made the same request -- to secede from the union.
Online: http://1.usa.gov/XB44qE
On November 12, a follow-up petition was started by "Joshua L" of Birmingham, Alabama: "Deport Everyone That Signed A Petition To Withdraw Their State From The United States Of America."
It also needs 25,000 signatures for White House consideration.

***Video: Post-game report from Assembly Hall - click here***
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WDRB) – This is what the Indiana University basketball team did to earn the Number One ranking at the start of this season: Not much.
The Hoosiers beat New Mexico State in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. Then they handled VCU, winning on their final possession. Then they scored 90 points in a 12-point loss to Kentucky in the Sweet Sixteen.
I remember when I broke the news to Tom Crean that USA Today was going to rank his team Number One to start this season. He was amused.
"We hadn't done anything," Crean said.
This is what the Hoosiers have done to position themselves to be voted Number One again on Monday: Flashed the offense, defense and poise to beat Michigan State, Purdue and Michigan over the last seven days.
That's scoring 75 points against a Michigan State team that can defend against anybody. A 37-point road win against an in-state rival. And then an 81-73 victory over a flashy Wolverines' team that followed Duke, which followed Louisville, which followed Duke, which followed Indiana as the Number One team in the nation.
Now the Hoosiers have won eight of nine games in the Big Ten. Now they have shown they are more than simply a one- or two-man team. Now they have shown they belong with Florida, Kansas, Michigan, Louisville, Duke or whatever team you believe should be considered the best team in the nation. The deck will continue to be shuffled. Just deal Indiana in.
"I've got two brother-in-laws (the Harbaugh brothers) going in the Super Bowl (today)," Crean said. "And their mantra for the team is, 'The team, the team, the team.'
"It was Bo Schembechler's. It was Jack Harbaugh's. It's those guys. We've got the same thing in the Cook Hall gym. To me, one thing I heard a long time ago was that the star of the team is the team."
His guys are grasping that. This is not the same Indiana team that defeated Georgetown and North Carolina in November. It's not the same group that lost to Butler in December.
In the victories against Michigan State and Michigan, they didn't look like the same team that was beaten in this building by Wisconsin Jan. 15. They're defending, sharing, gaining a bit of swagger. A Michigan team that normally makes 51 percent of its shots made only 42.9 percent against Indiana. It's not just offense, although the offense had five guys who score 11 or more points.
"We're unselfish," said Jordan Hulls, IU's senior guard. "We don't care who scores. If we do that, we can be pretty good."
Cody Zeller played like he intends to make his way back on a few more magazine covers. He started this season as the frontrunner for the Wooden Award. Then he watched Michigan guard Trey Burke, Doug McDermott of Creighton, Russ Smith of Louisville and several others push him out of the headlines.
Zeller returned to the conversation against the Wolverines, playing a persistently efficient game. He took 10 shots and made eight. He scored 19 points. He grabbed 10 rebounds, his fourth double-double in his last six games. He blocked two shots. He chased down the most important long rebound of the game in the final minute and a half. His hands spent more time above the rim than they had all season.
But Indiana is more than Zeller. Much more than Zeller. The Hoosiers have been for several weeks – and will have to be for the next nine games if they intend to win a Big Ten championship, which would be the program's first in 11 season.
Add Michigan coach John Beilein to the list of guys who believe that Victor Oladipo belongs in the discussion for a spot on the all-American team. Oladipo's 15 points were critical, but not as critical as the way he chased Burke, Michigan wing Tim Hardaway Jr. and two others across the court.
How is this for a stat? ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said that Oladipo guarded four different Wolverines over 45 possessions -- and allowed four points.
"I don't know if I have seen one quicker or faster, more athletic player than Oladipo," Beilein said. "It's tough to stay in front of him.
"Several times when we were making those runs, he would get to the basket. He may miss, but that's where Zeller was cleaning up."
But those two guys are not the growth in Crean's team. The growth has come from Christian Watford, Yogi Ferrell and Hulls, the other three starters.
For more than three years, Crean has urged Watford to become more than a three-point shooter. Against Michigan, only one of Watford's four baskets came from the three-point line. He carried the Hoosiers with 10 rebounds and scored 14 points, muscling his way to the line for five free throws. Indiana is better when Watford plays like a power forward, not a shooter.
Hulls forced nothing, scoring his 11 points on only five shots, turning the ball over one time in 30 minutes. Ferrell, the freshman point guard, did not shoot free throws line a freshman. He shot eight. He made eight, six in the final 39 seconds as he finished with 14 points and five assists. That's a rookie handling a veteran's job
Said Crean, "The more that guys like Cody and Victor and Christian and Jordan understand that, the more they understand they are the product of their teammates, the better we are."
The last three teams voted Number One in the Associated Press poll have not stayed there longer than a week. Will the Hoosiers be any different?
It won't be easy. It's not a wise bet. They face a pair of road games this week – Thursday night at Illinois, Sunday afternoon at Ohio State. Indiana has not won in Champaign or Columbus since 2008. In other words, no players or coaches know the way
But on Monday, they should be Number One – and a different, more legitimate Number One team than they were in November.

FCAT scores are plummeting; school grades are lower — why? The love for learning begins at birth, not the first day of kindergarten. Research shows that children attending a center-based school have better early literacy skills than children that didn't attend a preschool program.
With the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten program, all 4-year-olds are eligible to attend a preschool of the parents' choice for free.
Besides enhancing academic skills, children develop much-needed social finesse to interact with others. It's also good to build up their immune system at this age so they don't miss school because of illness in kindergarten.
A warm and loving school environment, combined with a family willing to devote time to read and discover the magical world in books, is the best way to foster future FCAT skills.
If children never see parents open a book, magazine or newspaper they won't be motivated to try it. So put down the iDevice and share the knowledge of a book. Your child's future teachers will thank you for it.

Chapter 27 UTILITIES*
Section 27-56 Customer's water installation.
(a) The customer's water installation shall extend from:
(1) The discharge of the water meter, where the meter is located at or near the property line.
(2) The property line, where the meter is located elsewhere on the property.
(3) The water main tap, where an unmetered fire protection or sprinkler system serves the property, or where a private water main is extended from the city water main.
(b) The customer assumes all responsibility for the construction, maintenance, and any necessary relocation of the customer's water installation; he shall make every effort to keep this system free from leaks. Apparent leaks in the customer's water installation, whether registered on the water meter or not, shall be repaired by the customer within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice by the department. If repairs are not made, the department shall issue written notice of disconnection, and five (5) days thereafter may discontinue water service until the leak is repaired. If, in the judgment of the department, an apparent leak in the customer's water installation endangers public safety, constitutes a serious nuisance, or wastes a considerable amount of water, the department may discontinue water service without previous notice to the customer. Hidden leaks in the customer's water installation shall be repaired, after discovery, under the same provisions as apparent leaks. If any leak is known or suspected to have registered on the water meter, and if the customer, upon discovery or notification of the leak, has promptly repaired or caused to be repaired such leak, the customer's water and sewer charge (if affected) for a period not exceeding three (3) months, including the billing period during which the leak was discovered and two (2) previous periods, shall be adjusted downward in the amount of one-half the normal charge for the excess water.
(c) If any customer fails to promptly repair apparent leaks or hidden leaks after notification, or to take other measures to eliminate the wasting of water through leaking installations, no adjustment of monthly charges will be made.
(Code 1964, § 15.330)

The Oklahoma linebacking corps took a serious hit on Monday as Travis Lewis went down with a broken foot early in the Sooners' fall camp. Lewis was injured sometime during Monday's practice, and x-rays revealed a broken bone in his left toe. Lewis is expected to miss eight weeks as he recovers from the injury.
Kenny Mossman passed along word of his injury and a peek at the Sooners' plans to fill the void left by Lewis' injury.
Travis Lewis will miss 8 weeks after suffering broken bone in toe of left foot. No surgery required. Corey Nelson to move into the pos.
Lewis started all 14 games at outside linebacker for the Sooners in 2010, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors for his efforts. His 109 tackles led the team and his three interceptions were third-best as he anchored the Sooners' defense throughout the year. Nelson, a sophomore, saw rotational action last season, with his most significant role coming on special teams.
For more on the Sooners, head over to Crimson and Cream Machine.

When you visit Hilton Head Island, one thing on your must-do list is ride your bike! The island offers more than 50 miles of paved bike paths, and just within Palmetto Dunes alone there are plenty of places to ride your bike from the beach and the Dunes House open to resort guests to the General Store and Shelter Cove Harbour.
Our very own Hilton Head Outfitters is our resource for all things bike related on the island. They offer Hilton Head bike rentals and bike equipment rentals and can help you navigate the many bike paths within the resort and beyond.
To make it even easier to rent your bikes in Hilton Head, we've created a new program that allows you to rent them right from your mobile phone! You can book your bike literally from anywhere whether you're lying at the beach, playing a round of golf or eating dinner.
There are a variety of options for renting your bike via our mobile program. You can text BIKE to 843-627-0007 to get access to our mobile website; alternately, you can scan a QR code which will be posted on a sign at Hilton Head Outfitters within the resort.

We hope you like our new Need a Bike mobile booking option. Try it and let us know what you think!
Here in Hilton Head where most days the skies are blue and the weather is mild, there is plenty to do to keep active during the winter months. Here are our top 10 winter activities on Hilton Head Island:
1) Polish your golf game – Our Hilton Head golf academy offers a variety of classes for golfers all winter long. Learn to play more carefree like Bubba Watson, improve your mental golf game or enjoy daily 50-minute clinics on different skills. See our winter golf academy schedule. Or just head out for a round with some pals. Winter is a great time to play golf in Hilton Head, as the crowds of summer are long gone, making for better pace of play, and temperatures are mild.
2) Ride a bike! – With some 50 miles of paved bike paths on Hilton Head Island, there's no excuse not to get out and enjoy the beauty of our island. Hilton Head Outfitters offers Hilton Head bike rentals for every member of your family, including cruisers, kiddie carts, tag-a-longs and child seats.
3) Get in a cardio workout by playing tennis – Tennis gets the blood pumping for sure and the milder weather makes for more comfortable outdoor play. Try a Hilton Head tennis lesson from our Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center or take it up a notch with our Cardio Tennis class offered during the winter months on holidays.
4) Shop! – There are plenty of unique boutiques and stores on Hilton Head to make sure you head home with a one-of-a-kind souvenir of your Hilton Head vacation. Try Shelter Cove Harbour waterfront shops or shop our Hilton Head golf pro shops and tennis pro shop for some great finds.
5) Kayak or canoe the lagoon – Plan to rent a kayak or canoe from Hilton Head Outfitters and head out mid afternoon, when the weather should be at its warmest. Enjoy a peaceful tour of our 11-mile inland lagoon system, take in the wildlife and see Palmetto Dunes in an entirely new way.
6) Take a walk on the beach and look for shells – With fewer people visiting Hilton Head in the winter, you'll enjoy a quiet stroll and have a better chance of finding some great shells. Keep your eye out for dolphins in the surf and see what kind of treasures have washed ashore. Here are more tips on beachcombing in Hilton Head.
7) Catch a redfish! – Fall and winter are some of the best times to catch a "big red" and our team of fishermen can help you do it. Whether you take an offshore or inshore Hilton Head fishing charter, learn to fish from the pros and see if you can earn bragging rights to a trophy red.
8) Eat oysters – Here in the south, we say that months ending in "r" are the best ones to eat oysters, so before December winds down, take this last opportunity! There's a fine art to eating an oyster (or you can just slurp it down, of course J) whether you enjoy it with a touch of lemon, hot sauce or just plain!
9) Go birdwatching – The birds are out in winter, and in fact, during Hilton Head's last Christmas bird count they totaled up more species than ever before! Grab some binoculars and head out on a kayak in the lagoon or a Hilton Head boat tour to Daufuskie Island or Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge for some great birdwatching. More Hilton Head birdwatching tips in the Hilton Head Outfitters blog.
10) Do nothing! After you've done our top 9, why not relax, unwind and do nothing :)? Kick back in your Hilton Head vacation rental from Palmetto Dunes and enjoy an ocean or palm tree view. Grab a good book, a cup of coffee and rest. Ahhh….
Palmetto Dunes offers plenty of packages to help you work in all of these things from our Monthly Stay & Sports Membership to our Spa Packages to Hilton Head tennis packages and Hilton Head golf packages. If we can answer any questions or book you a stay or tee time, please give us a call at 866-744-7558.
How cool would it be to tell friends and family you learned to surf while on your summer Hilton Head vacation? Maybe even throw around a little lingo, "The waves were waist to head high and glassy."
The experts at Hilton Head Outfitters at Palmetto Dunes will teach you everything you need to know during a week-long Surf School, from how to paddle and pop-up, to picking the right wave and finding your balance while riding a frothy white wave into shore.
With an emphasis on safety and the basic fundamentals, Hilton Head Outfitters' surf school is held throughout the summer. The Hilton Head surfing school specializes in teaching kids to surf, but the camp is open to all ages. Entire families have even signed up!
Each day, you'll spend one and a half hours on the beach in a small group session ($80 p/p). You also can choose from a private lesson for one-on-one instruction ($125 p/p). The staff will help you choose between 7-foot and 9-foot soft-top boards, which are better for learning than a hard fiber glass board.
While on the sand, instructors like Captain Logan will help you learn the basics of paddling out and popping up on the board. They'll show you the perfect positioning for your feet and work on your balance.
When you're ready to hit the waves, rest assured, the camp is held in shallow water, which is perfect for youngsters. Wipeouts are totally part of the experience, but when you get in the zone and ride in that first wave, it will be an experience you'll never forget … and a story you'll probably tell for ages. Recent surf campers have even been doing headstands on paddleboards and riding tandem together!
Registration is required, but you just need to call (866) 650-4132 to reserve your spots. Need a little more information and inspiration? Watch this fun video below about the camp. You'll be ready to hang 10 for sure!

Listen to Samples
What would happen if you had a musical gumbo with Dillaesque Hip Hop Funkadelic Grooves and the soul of Motown in its glory days? You would end up with the newest addition to Om Hip Hop's roster, called simply, The One.
With The One on vocals and Goeffrey on production, the outcome is some of the most satisfying evidence to prove that hip hop isn't dead. But don't make the mistake of just believing that this is just a soul vocalist or Hip Hop artist.
"SuperPsychoSexy" embodies the love of all musical genres in such a funky sexy manner that an orgy or two may pop off at any moment when songs like "Milk Shake Thick" or "Pistol Whipped" blast from the speakers.
Not much is known about The One and with good reason. Being an artist's artist, he believes that the music should speak in ways that casually speaking about it wont do it justice. Coupled with the production synergy of Goeffrey, who The One admits is his "evil twin", comes an artist not afraid to expand past any musical boundaries. The secret? He figures they don't exist in the first place.

SALISBURY, Md. - Locals are reacting to the fiscal cliff deal.
Most told us they weren't very optimistic or happy that Senate and House leaders waited until the last possible minute to come to a consensus. Others said the government is just stalling, and that it seems like being elected is more important to lawmakers than getting the job done.
"The average citizen doesn't understand this - the politicians do. And there are few that can really grasp it to make an honest evaluation on it. But what the average citizen does see is government taking it's time or playing it's party preferences. It's another disappointment - it just shows how slow the bureaucracy is and self serving it is," Jeff Pittinger said. "I do feel relieved, but it's not over," Marsha Downing said.
Senators Barbara Mikulski, Ben Cardin and Chris Coons all voted in favor of the bill. But Senator Tom Carper voted against it. He released this statement explaining why: "While I commend the work of Vice President Biden and others in finding a way for us to avoid some of the bad elements of the fiscal cliff, there was a better way to solve this problem and we should've seized the opportunity to do so."
President Obama is now back in Hawaii for vacation with his family. The White House had no immediate update on when he would receive and then, sign the bill.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney are showing the urgency of the campaign's final stretch. The incumbent alone is set to cover 5,300 miles Wednesday in the busiest single day of his re-election bid.
Both men are claiming a growing advantage even as voters show little give.
From Iowa to Colorado to the ever-important Ohio, bigger crowds and late October scenery offer the feel of a campaign starting to finally crackle.
Obama has centered on a closing theme that voters simply cannot trust Romney, while the challenger warns of the bleak times four more Obama years would bring.
Setting up for a frenetic finish, both campaigns sought to show they had enthusiasm and organization on their side.
Obama set himself up to campaign nearly around the clock Wednesday.

Thanks for accepting the GasBuddy request.
See you on the boards.
Thanks for the website. I found a few stations near me.One is a boat marina so the pump would be at the water & really high but a couple of the others are regular stations & I will check them out.
Hi I did get your message about the MGs, but I accidentally deleted it while cleaning house
Welcome aboard buddy have a nice weekend
Thanks for becoming my newest buddy. MGs are always great and I'm sure that the old 62 A model would be worth a fortune. It was so much fun to tool around Dallas in it and I even enjoyed hand washing and waxing it. Now we drive a '06 Audi with a 2.0 liter, four cylinder, turbocharged engine. Don't tell my wife, but I got it up to 140 on a deserted frontage road once. She still had some power left, but a red light was coming up very fast. Have a great weekend there in Miami. Warren {:-D
