Why is a Law Degree a Prerequisite for the Presidency?
by Nonpartisan, Wed May 02, 2007 at 08:41:15 PM EDT
Below, compiled from Politics1, are the terminal degrees of the announced Democratic and Republican candidates for President:
Law Degree (JD):
- Hillary Clinton (Yale, 1973)
- Barack Obama (Harvard, 1991, magna cum laude)
- John Edwards (UNC, 1977)
- Joe Biden (Syracuse U., 1968)
- Chris Dodd (U. of Louisville, 1972)
- Rudy Giuliani (NYU, 1968, magna cum laude)
- Mitt Romney (Harvard, 1975, cum laude; Romney also has an MBA from Harvard, 1975)
- Sam Brownback (Kansas, 1982)
- Duncan Hunter (Western State U., 1976)
- Tommy Thompson (Wisconsin, 1966)
- Jim Gilmore (Virginia, 1977)
Master of Arts (MA):
- Bill Richardson (Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts, 1971)
- Dennis Kucinich (Case Western, 1973)
Bachelor of Science (BS):
- Mike Gravel (Economics, Columbia, 1956)
Bachelor of Arts (BA):
- Tom Tancredo (U. of Northern Colorado, 1968)
Medical Degree (MD):

Military Degree (BS):
- John McCain (West Point, 1958)
Religious Degree:
- Mike Huckabee (BS, Religion, Ouachita Baptist University, 1975, magna cum laude, and certification as a Baptist minister)
Anything stand out about this list to you? How about from a historical perspective?
According to the American Bar Association, the following are America's lawyer Presidents:
America's Lawyer Presidents
- John Adams
- Thomas Jefferson
- James Monroe
- John Quincy Adams
- Andrew Jackson
- Martin Van Buren
- John Tyler
- James K. Polk
- Millard Fillmore
- Franklin Pierce
- James Buchanan
- Abraham Lincoln
- Rutherford B. Hayes
- James A. Garfield
- Chester A. Arthur
- Grover Cleveland
- Benjamin Harrison
- William McKinley
- William Howard Taft
- Woodrow Wilson
- Calvin Coolidge
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
- Richard M. Nixon
- Gerald R. Ford
- William Jefferson Clinton
I would personally dispute the inclusion of Woodrow Wilson on this list, as he had a higher terminal degree (Ph.D. in Political Science) and spent many more years as a professor of history and political science than as a lawyer. On the other hand, the ABA excludes James Madison, arguing that he only "dabbled" in the law; in my opinion, Madison's "dabbling" was the direct cause of the U.S. Constitution, so I'd include him. Considering that these two balance each other out, we are left with the following:
Percentage of Presidents with Law Degrees as their Highest Terminal Degrees Or Who Practiced Law as Their Main Career
59.5% (25/42)
Percentage of Declared Presidential Candidates with Law degrees as their Highest Terminal Degrees
61.1% (11/18)
Cripes, those numbers are similar.
Okay -- let's look at this in more detail. Some of the lawyers on both these lists clearly made it because they were lawyers. On the current candidates list, John Edwards won landmark cases against abusive corporations; Barack Obama was elected president of the Harvard Law Review; Rudy Giuliani put the Gotti family in jail as City Attorney for New York. Similarly, in the Presidents list, John Adams defended the British officers in the Boston Massacre; Abraham Lincoln's judicial exploits are legendary; Benjamin Harrison, according to Harry Lambeth, was possessed of a "brilliant mind, extraordinary memory, unusual power of analysis, and great speaking ability." To be fair, too, lawyers have been some of our greatest Presidents (Lincoln, FDR), while the non-George-Washington practitioners of our other great Presidential pastime, military service, have fared much poorer (Ulysses S. Grant, Dwight D. Eisenhower).
But to get back to the candidates at hand, what does Chris Dodd's law degree have to do with his qualifications for President? Are they the reason he's in politics, or is it because of his father's political history? (And before you jump down my throat, tis isn't a hit on Dodd -- he's done a fantastic job in thirty years in the Senate, but he got his seat partly because of his father's name, as did Bob Casey and Beau Biden and Mitt Romney.) Speaking of Romney, what does HIS law degree have anything to do with? He was elected because of his famous father, because he saved the SLC Olympics, and because he has gobs and gobs of money.
Romney's vast wealth points to one reason that lawyers continue to be successful politicians: money. High-powered lawyers can make enough money to completely self-finance their campaigns (as John Edwards did in his 1998 Senate race); more importantly, it's a profession where a LOT of people make a lot of money and do a lot of networking. That money is always at the fingertips of a prominent and popular lawyer, a ready-made network of funds and fundraisers.
Another, and more lamentable, reason so many successful candidates have law degrees is that most of them are essentially career politicians. Brownback was a Senator four years after he got his JD; Biden was elected to City Council in literally the first election in which he was eligible to run after receiving his law degree. These people don't get law degrees because they want to be lawyers, they get them because they want something respectable to do while they wait to come of age and run for political office. A JD is the easiest graduate degree to obtain, so they choose that path.
It wasn't arbitrary that most of our first Presidents had legal expertise. Many of them were involved in the Critical Period of American democracy -- the period from 1781-1791 when the Constitution and Bill of Rights were formulated and passed. A law degree is exceedingly important when your main job is writing and tweaking the law. But today that's not the primary job of any President, and a law degree simply isn't necessary, or even necessarily desirable, as Presidential training.
To put it another way, despite the legal failings of the Bush Administration, I'm not convinced Bush would have been a better President if he'd earned a law degree instead of an MBA. Frankly, it's not his job to write laws, or even to figure out their legal ramifications after he signs them. He's got staffers galore with JDs who can keep him up to speed on those things. Instead, Bush lacks three things that aren't taught in law school: common sense, a dextrous grasp of foreign policy, and a sense of his presidency in history.
I'd love to see some Presidents with terminal degrees in political science (like Woodrow Wilson), history (though PLEASE GOD not Newt Gingrich) or foreign policy (like Bill Richardson). But I'll settle for having a campaign that, for once, isn't dominated by those people all Americans love to hate: lawyers. Let's instead elect Presidents who have expertise or experience in a field that has actual relevance to the job they'll be doing in the White House: maintaining a fragile world order, developing new policy proposals and ideas, and making life-and-death decisions.
Heck, even the Brits are doing it.

A Lee County Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Manager has resigned his position after it was discovered he had a business American Express card and the sheriff's office was listed as a liable party, according to internal investigation reports.
The investigation began when the Lee County Sheriff's Office received a summons regarding a civil suit from American Express on November 22, 2011. The summons showed Harry Balke and the Lee County Sheriff's Office as liable in the civil suit.
Balke had applied for the card in 2005 and said he did not know the card was strictly for businesses or that the sheriff's office was the responsible party for the credit card, reports said.
Balke paid the credit card bills for several years, but got behind on the payments. That's when Balke and the sheriff's office were issued the court summons for the civil suit.
The investigation revealed no one at the sheriff's office knew of the credit card.
The internal investigation was completed in late January. Balke turned in his resignation on January 31, 2012.

Tag-Board tAds
Tag-Board.com is putting ads on people\'s individual tagboards to make money. Tagboards used to be free and clean of ads or pop-ups. Now, they owners are short a couple dollars and decided to put ads on everyone\'s board unless you pay to get it upgraded. Nobody likes ads. Nobody clicks on ads. Why bother polluting personal tagboards with pointless ads!!! Instead of putting up ads, they had other options. Instead of hosting the tagboards from their site, make people download their own into a cgi-bin!! Maybe they\'re not that advanced!! Tell all your web friends about this petition so they can sign it too! As soon as I get enough signatures, I will forward it to tag-board administration.

The 2012 Miss Mississippi pageant is now in the history books. Marie Wicks came to Vicksburg last week as Miss Dixie, she now holds the title of Miss Mississippi 2012.
We talked with the 23-year-old contestant a week ago about her hopes and plans for this year's Miss Mississippi pageant.
"I've been in this pageant since my freshman year of college and it has given me a lot of scholarship money to continue my education and it has also been just an amazing journey and I've grown so much just through this experience," said Wicks.
After a week of events that included the parade of contestants and preliminary competition, Wicks made the top 10 Saturday night.
"I want just to thank the Lord. I'm just so very blessed I truly think God has a plan for my life."
The new Miss Mississippi made the top 10 twice before and was 3rd runner up to Miss Mississippi last year. She says winning this time was a dream come true.
"Oh my goodness, what I thought? I thought thank the Lord, it is still surreal. Maybe tomorrow morning when I get up I will realize, yes I am Miss Mississippi," said Wicks.
Wicks held her first news conference Sunday in Vicksburg. Preparation for the Miss America pageant is already underway.
"I intend to pour everything I've got into this job as Miss Mississippi and to aim for consistency as I go to Las Vegas and Miss America," said Wicks.
A homecoming is in the works for Ocean Springs. Wicks will make appearances around the state while preparing for the annual trunk show when supporters and fans will cast their vote for their favorite outfits for the Miss America pageant.

Its overall score is 3.1 points lower than last year, reflecting declines in seven of the 10 economic freedoms, especially investment freedom and labor freedom. Egypt is ranked 13th out of 15 countries in the Middle East/North Africa region, and its overall score is below the world and regional averages.Given its challenging political and economic transition, the Egyptian economy has been experiencing an extended period of instability and uncertainty. Much-needed improvements in economic policy have been delayed, and the effectiveness of reforms that might have helped to open markets and improve productivity has been undercut by the fragile rule of law and the legacy of Egypt's socialist past. A new, higher top tax rate of 25 percent applies to both individuals and corporations.Deeper institutional reforms are critically needed to spur lasting economic growth and development. Those reforms include strengthening of the judicial system, better protection of property rights, and more effective action against growing corruption. Read more about Egypt Economy. Close Background The Egyptian army ousted President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011 after massive protests and violent police responses destabilized his government. Mubarak had been in power since 1981. Following his ouster, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces assumed power and promised to prepare for free parliamentary and presidential elections. Parliamentary elections were held in January 2012, but the parliament was dissolved in June 2012 after the Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that one-third of its members had won their seats illegitimately. Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party won the June 2012 presidential election, but his authority has been limited by SCAF edicts. Domestic instability and continued political uncertainty depress tourism revenues and foreign investment, both of which are important sources of foreign exchange. Despite efforts to make the economy more market-oriented, socialist policies continue, and the government heavily subsidizes food, energy, and other key commodities. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 35.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 29.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The rule of law has been unstable across the country, and the judicial system's independence is poorly institutionalized.

CAPE CORAL: A driver was killed and seven others injured when an SUV collided with a truck, triggering a chain-reaction crash in Cape Coral Friday.
According to the Cape Coral Police Department, the driver of a Jeep Cherokee was traveling westbound on Veterans Parkway just before 9 a.m., when he clipped a truck, causing the Jeep to jump the median and travel into the eastbound lanes of traffic.
At least seven vehicles were involved in the crash.
The driver of the Jeep died at the scene. His identity has not yet been released.
The seven other drivers only suffered minor injuries.
Veterans Parkway was shut down for several hours after the crash as crews worked to remove the wreckage.
The roadway has since been reopened.

Whit's Picks: Three sesame, sweet potato and carrot soup.
The humble carrot doesn't often play the starring role in main dishes, but carrot soup is one of the best exceptions. And yet… most carrot soups fail to satisfy. They are often either too bogged-down by heavy cream and butter to even taste like carrots or they are so light and refreshing that they don't really work as a meal. I'd like to think this recipe is the perfect compromise of the two. The soup has a nice, creamy consistency and a thick body thanks to the sweet potatoes and the addition of tahini. Soy sauce gives it a complex, meaty "umami" flavor. In contrast, it is still a nice, light soup with plenty of refreshing ginger and lively heat from the Sriracha.
I would highly recommend investing in all the Asian ingredients that are called for because they are great staples, are found in lots of different Asian dishes, and make this soup incredibly flavorful and unique.
Three-Sesame, Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup
serves 8
2 T olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1/4 cup fresh ginger, minced
1/4 cup mirin or white wine
8 cups vegetable stock
1/4 cup tahini
2 T soy sauce
black sesame seeds
Sriracha sauce
toasted sesame oil
In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the onions in olive oil until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots and ginger and cook until ginger is fragrant, about two minutes. Deglaze the pan with mirin, then add stock. Raise the heat to high and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally until potatoes and carrots are very tender, about 40 minutes.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, add a little of the hot liquid to the tahini and stir to dissolve. Add mixture to soup and puree with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy (alternatively, you can puree the soup in stages in a food processor or blender). Serve with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and a drizzle of oil and Sriracha sauce to garnishTags: marczyk, marczyk denver, recipe | 2 Comments »

Dolphins fans are obviously upset about Ronnie Brown's injury, but not just because the hurt foot puts Ricky Williams back in an uncomfortable every-down role, and not just because any injury is bad news. No, it's especially sad for Brown, whom The Phinsider calls one of the NFL's "good guys":
This means that Ricky Williams will suddenly be thrust back into the workhorse role – a role he isn't exactly a big fan of. Expect to see some opportunities for Lex Hilliard and Kory Sheets as well.
You also can't help but wonder about Ronnie's future in Miami. If a new CBA is not reached between the players and the owners, then Brown is under contract in Miami for one more season – with a salary of $5 million. But if a new CBA is reached prior to the start of the 2010 "league year" – meaning that the uncapped season does not happen – then Brown is a free agent.
It's a tough break for Ronnie, no doubt about it. And it's sickening to me as well – as one of the NFL's "good guys" suffers his second season-ending injury in three years. Talk about bad luck.

Hey, I am fairly new to this forum but I think this question needs to be asked.
Who is Robert Guerrero ? Have you ever heard of him ? What has he done in his career to even put his name in the same sentence as Floyd Mayweather's ? I said the same thing about about Amir Khan but it seems to be touching plenty of fighters. How can these people become relevant like that ? They just talk. Don't get me wrong, Guerrero - cool guy, great story but Mayweather ? Really ?
Saddest part is that people are actually thinking about him being a suitable opponent for Floyd.
So, can you please open my mind or at least explain to me, what makes Guerrero THE guy ? Thanks !

He's been in jail for seven months now, but former San Francisco network administrator Terry Childs says he's going to keep fighting to prove he's innocent of computer crime charges.
Childs was arrested on July 12, charged with disrupting the City of San Francisco's Wide Area Network during a tense standoff with management.
[ InfoWorld's ongoing coverage of the Terry Childs case includes the jaihouse interview. And Paul Venezia asks: Has Childs' attempt to protect the network password gone awry? ]
In his first interview since the arrest, given a week ago, Childs contended that he did nothing illegal while working for the city and argued that his actions, depicted as criminal by prosecutors, were in line with standard network security practices. The criminal court case before him prevented him from commenting in much detail on the case, but he outlined his defense in recently filed court documents, describing a tense July 9 stand-off with police and city officials.
That afternoon Childs "unwittingly" found himself in a surprise meeting in the city's Hall of Justice, where Childs maintained network facilities. At the meeting were his boss, DTIC chief operations officer Richard Robinson, San Francisco Police Department Chief Information Officer Greg Yee, and human resources representative Vitus Leung. On the phone were engineers, listening in to confirm whether the passwords he gave were correct.
They were not, and within days Childs was charged with disrupting computer services and faced further counts of unauthorized network access. He faces seven years in prison if convicted.
The July 9 meeting was the culmination of a long-simmering dispute between Childs and his managers, who had been seeking administrative passwords to the network since at least February. Childs had refused to provide the passwords, apparently because he feared that they would be shared with management or outside contractors, according to court filings.
Even though it went against the orders of his supervisors, Childs was doing his job by refusing to hand over the passwords to a roomful of people, his attorney Richard Shikman argues in the filings. "The response to suspend him was arguably legal. The response to prosecute him is not," he wrote.
The Terry Childs case can seem like a cautionary tale of the power wielded by the people in charge of computer systems. Or it can seem like a poignant reminder of how dedicated employees can be thwarted at the whim of management.
Childs is no angel. He has already served four years in Kansas prison on aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary charges, stemming from an incident that occurred when he was a teenager.
Three of the charges against Childs in the San Francisco case stem from modems that were found in his office.

We love arts and crafts. Who doesn't? but for most people that want to get involved and take up this fun hobby, knowing where to start can be more stressful that its worth and can have people giving up before they even begin. That's where we come in. We help you navigate through the world of arts and crafts in such a way that we make it fun.
There's no reason to start a new hobby if its only going to give you stress. With so many things to choose from and so many roads to take it can confuse even the most zealous hobbyist.
The first step in this endeavor is to first determine what is your preference of medium. Do you want to paint and glue, work with fabrics, cut outs, beads, zippers? are you into animals, houses, colors, shapes? you can also be into all of that. By combing mediums into a project you can easily find what it is that makes your project stand out or pop. You might be surprised to find that the simplest items can really make a craft come to life.
Next I recommend you take a troll through arts and crafts super stores such as Micheal's (found in New York and New Jersey) as that will give you a good idea of where to start. most folks will pick up a stencil, some paint, some glue and some buttons and they are off to design. Plenty of crafts start from just doing. If you spend too much time trying to make the perfect craft you will hinder your progress and might never get there.
So the best advice we can offer is to get get going. Pick anything and start. That is the hardest part taking action. once you begin a simple project you will find that it gets easier as you go along.…

With the big success of the game Super Mario Brothes on the WiiU, there was going to be a sequel. Well, sort of. In New Super Luigi U, you get 80 more levels that feel like the original levels shrunk down by at least half. And with good reason, too. Your time limit is 100 seconds per level – and...more

NORMAL, Ill -- It's been one year since the law preventing electronics from going in the trash went into affect and if you need to recycle your old electronics, the town of Normal has got you covered.
The Town of Normal Public Works facility offers an electronics recycling drop off area. t's the only Public Works facility in McLean County to offer the service.
People can stop by and drop off anything from computers and TVs to microwaves and vacuum cleaners.
The drop off is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and every first Saturday of the month from 8:00 a.m. to noon.
Tom Ramirez of Normal Public Works said that the electronics need to be kept out of landfills because of the risk of ground water contamination.
Ramirez said, "We are one of the few places that is a licensed drop off center for electronics to be recycled. It really tripled our volumes that we hadn't been seeing."
The Town of Normal Public Works facility recycles almost 20 tons of electronics a month.

The storm may be over, but the patients have just begun piling into local hospitals.
There were three basic snow circumstances that packed ERs Friday. One of them was due to shoveling – it's a harder workout than people might think when they start plowing through it.
Michael Thomas tackled his sidewalk with vigor.
"It's a pretty good workout," he said.
He's done triathlons, but even he was panting. Many people waited until Friday to get cracking on the task and a number of them ended up in the ER.
"I think people think it's no big deal because, as a kid, you go out and shovel and you think it's just fun, but it really actually is a lot of work," said Dr. Sara Cross with the Shawnee Mission Medical Center.
The wait for non-trauma care at Shawnee Mission Medical Center was eight times the usual, up to 4 hours.
Another culprit for ER visits was slick spots with both people slipping and cars crashing. The roads were worse on day one, but a snow bank has a lot more give than another car.
"Yesterday everyone was going very slow and they were kind of the slide-off-the-road-type of injury - this is more serious car accidents," Cross said.
There's also still a day three impact anticipated as visitors move from ankle sprains to back pains – that is unless people use the technique Michael Thomas does.
"Try to use my legs. That's not the easiest to do over and over again but try to minimize the strain on my back," Thomas, of Prairie Village, said.
Saturday people may be visiting the ER because that's when they'll feel the effects of Friday's work.

"We're not expecting extremely bright. We're aiming glow-in-the-dark, stars-on-the-ceiling-type light. The first batch is not going to replace your bedroom light, but in the longer term that's the goal," Evans said.
That kind of future thinking was why the Glowing Plant Project's Kickstarter fundraising campaign, which officially began in April, was wildly popular from the start. While the company had hoped to raise a modest $65,000, it brought in $484,013 in just 44 days. A typical comment from a donor: "My dreams of having a greenhouse rose garden/glowing Avatar-like wonderland will soon be realized!"
The project soon ran into trouble, however. Deeming it "a new biotech threat coming from Silicon Valley," the environmental watchdog ETC Group started an online petition calling on Kickstarter to shut down the project. Nearly 14,000 people signed it.
In August, Kickstarter responded to the debate by announcing that it had amended its rules to ban all genetically modified rewards for donors, putting such gifts in the same category as drugs and firearms. While donors who supported the Glowing Plant Project would still get their genetically modified seeds, they would be the last. Kickstarter said it recognized it had sparked discussion within the scientific community about whether its platform was the best place to release synthetic or genetically modified organisms.
The Glowing Plant Project is at the forefront of an emerging field known as synthetic biology. Known as genetic engineering on steroids, the research aims to create new life-forms for practical purposes. The definition is still evolving, but the science — which lies at the intersection of biology, engineering and computational bioinformatics — usually involves modifying organisms to transform them into miniature factories for producing things such as medicine, food flavorings or even biofuels.

jQuery: fadeIn problem
Hello there x)
I'm new in this forum & in jQuery's world!
Before starting, I'd like to apoligize for my english, it's not my native language.
My knowledges in html/css are good, but i'm a novice in Javascript (but I already played with lightboxes using jQuery, modifying values and trying to make it fits to my websites).
Well, I received today the book "Novice to Ninja - jQuery" and I arrived to the page 60. That's... an amazing and passionnate book, I readed and practised 6 hours in a row, and I can't even sleep until I find why the fadeIn function doesn't work while the fadeOut is working o.O I tried it on buttons, to hide/show selections, it worked. But it doesn't when I apply it to a div or a paragraph :/
Here is my source code:
And in the HTML page:

Welcome to StarTrackr! the planet's premier celebrity tracking and monitoring service. Need to know where in the world the best bands, musicians or producers are within 2.2 square meters? You've come to the right place. We have a very special special on B-grade celebs this week, so hurry in!

So... what's the prob? :S

The fadeIn method find that the element is already fully visible, so it has nothing that needs to be done.
Shouldn't the element first be hidden, so that the fadeIn method has something that can be faded in?Programming Group Advisor

Comfort in labor comes in many forms. A very easy way for nearly anyone to help comfort a laboring woman is to talk to her. These kind words really help and work wither she is having an unmedicated birth or a birth with an epidural.
Hang in there!
A note of support without a lot of pressure.
You're doing a great job.
She may not believe you even if it's true. Her experience of what is going on feels much differently than what you're seeing. Meaning she may feel out of control while she looks calm and collected.
I love you!
Need I say more?
Think of the baby...
For a mother who wants to be reminded of the baby in labor, which is easier than you think to forget about, this can be helpful. You might also use a similar phrase agreed upon in labor.
You're going to be a great mother.
Sometimes laboring women have fears, including what kind of a mother they will be. If she's concerned about it, be sure to ask ahead of time to find out what her fear is and use an affirmation like this to help ease that.
A nice quick word to whisper in her ear when she's got very low concentration levels.
Keep going...
A nod of approval during a long labor, as in "I know you're tired, but you're doing great, so keep going..."
I'm here for you.
You're not leaving her side, be sure she knows that.
Just a bit more...
Use this one only if you're reasonably sure that it's true. Otherwise, you lose your credibility. Ask a nearby professional for some help here and know they are guessing too.
- You are doing it!

Willow Grove residents who like to enjoy a Footlong from Subway can rest assured that sub will in fact be 12 inches, according to a new pledge from the fast food chain.
Earlier this week, news spread of a lawsuit filed by two New Jersey men who said they measured 17 Subway Footlongs and all of them came up short.
Subway has responded to the allegations, pledging it will work to ensure all sandwiches are in fact 12 inches.
Subway provided the following statement to the Chicago Tribune:
"We have redoubled our efforts to ensure consistency and correct length in every sandwich we serve. Our commitment remains steadfast to ensure that every Subway Footlong sandwich is 12 inches at each location worldwide."
To see how Subway is improving its "Footlongs," head over to a Subway in Willow Grove:

Could Cape Coral Parkway be the next big destination in Southwest Florida? The Community Redevelopment Agency for the city hopes so. And right now they are in the process of taking steps to draw you and new business in.
The CRA says lighted trees in the medians could be a big step in drawing people to the city and soon you could see multiple trees lit up along Cape Coral Parkway.
With these trees, CRA chairman Rick Greer believes it will make you want to be here.
"You look up at the trees with lights wound through the branches and the uplighting, it makes you want to be there," he says.
For the past nine months, business hasn't been the best for Bobby Mimmo at Fat Fredo's Pizza on Cape Coral Parkway.
"We stopped opening in the daytime because it was so slow. We now open at four," Bobby says.
But even with the reduced hours, Bobby says he still isn't seeing any increased business.
"We don't have any walk-ins, or at least not many. If someone isn't specifically coming here, they aren't coming here," Bobby says.
The CRA is hoping their plan will change that. On Tuesday night, they'll discuss enhancing the medians with the lighted trees, as well as how to bring in more development and create more outdoor seating.
It's part of their plan to transform the parkway into a destination where people will want to walk and drive down.
But with that, Greer says traffic would need to be slowed down on the parkway to become pedestrian friendly, which will also be discussed as part of their vision plan.
"There's widening of sidewalks, posting slower speeds, many ways to do it to create the town everyone where wants to be," he says.
And while there is no definite cost or time frame of when this all could happen, Mimmo is happy to see they are actively taking the steps so he can open his doors a little sooner.
"Anything to liven this place up again would be great," he says.
The CRA wants you to help make the decision that you want a downtown destination - They will be discussing the enhancements at their meeting on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.

Double Fine Productions
PAR tries to get a story about Double Fine's second Kickstarter up before the damned thing is funded
Double Fine Productions, the independent game developer behind the industry's first multi-million dollar Kickstarter, announced today that they are launching a new crowdfunding campaign for a game created by the designer of Iron Brigade (originally released as Trenched on XBLA), Brad Muir.
The game is called Massive Chalice, and it will draw inspiration from roguelikes and games like Infinity Blade with randomly generated characters cast as descendants in your family's bloodline.
Muir describes the game as "tactical fantasy on an epic timeline" and namedrops such classics as Final Fantasy Tactics and X-COM as being analogous to Massive Chalice's style of gameplay. Unfortunately, they do not show the game in motion, and instead resort to doodling the ideas behind the game on a dry-erase board.
"The game is structured into two main layers: strategy and tactics," reads the Kickstarter page. "In the strategy layer, you oversee your kingdom, arrange royal marriages, conduct research, and make the far-reaching decisions that will determine the fate of your legacy. In the tactics layer, you fight brutal turn-based battles to defend your kingdom using small squads of customizable heroes."
The project will be developed by a team at Double Fine that is not related to the company's first Kickstarter title, Broken Age. Funding is currently set at $725,000 and has progressed rapidly, with $200,000 already pledged within a matter of hours.
Double Fine appears to be leaving no stone left unturned in their pursuit of alternative means of funding themselves. Having already seen huge success with their $3.3 million Kickstarter they also experimented with the free-to-play model, as well as their own Paypal-based funding system.
This experimentation with alternative sources of funding is something that has become important to indies in the Kickstarter age. Without the regular sources of funding like publishers and royalties, it's become crucial to maintain a consistent flow of income, even if it means running more than one largescale Kickstarter.
The game is slated to be released on Windows, Mac, and Linux, with an "estimated delivery date" for the backer reward tier that includes the game being set at September 2014.

What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
March 8 -- 10" of snow overnight. Lots of snow piled up from the winterstorms. Back by the trellis post all the way to the last shove...snow. I make a point of it to go at the snow bank whenever the temperatures rises and the snow will stick together when pushed. That way I can get the pile higher and leave a few feet of room for the next snowstorm.
Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
Snowfall totals all over the block. You have the right idea.
Need to get out and play around myself. I think we have around 14" here in southwestern Stafford, CT.
From a local weather service;
As of 10 a.m. more than 17 inches of snow had fallen in Staffordville in northern Tolland County. About 15 inches had fallen in Tolland and a foot in Glastonbury. Manchester had 14 inches and Marlborough 13inches. By contrast, only four inches fell in East Hartford and 6.5 in Enfield. West Hartford has 5.5 inches. Wethersfield had seven.
Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
I have a foot now, the radio news says its only 1-3", the weathermen are right on the ball like normal
Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
4 inches of heavy, wet snow here. Still coming down. 32 degrees. (11:20am). I'm hibernating! After 40+ years of being "essential personnel", I'm enjoying the non essential life! Ed

Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
Wow. Here in Rochester NY people are already starting to wear flip-flops.
Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
No snow here, headed into the fifties for the week end. 42º and sunny in the barnyard right now.
Me too. It seemed like everytime our building was closed due to weather or budget cuts, I had to be there. Now I am where ever I wanna be
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
Way too warm here for any accumulation.... guess I should have taken the chains and snow plow off the Cub if I wanted to plow?? But too early to think about mowing or dirt plowing, so I just left it.

Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
No it's not. I am plowing under the sustainablity garden at UMass as soon as the snow melts and the ground dries out. Crazy kids are planting their cool weather crops April 6th! Right around the corner... They have a huge group of students who spend their Saturdays clearing trails, gardening and helping out the grounds crews. The campus is a short trek up a back road, so I can drive the tractor up the road and go on campus through a fire road. The Cub will come in very handy helping out. Plowing, harrowing, making raised beds, hauling out debris from Winter Storm Nemo which wrecked havoc with the trees.
If anyone else would like to get some seat time in helping out they would be more than welcome....some great trails ideal for some seat time on a Cub,too!
Some nice scenery up in the Bershires there Dick
Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
I leave my chains on year round. Found out it works best for me that way--usually out in the field or in the woods hauling out trees and never ever on paved roads...well not usually. I like the traction.
How do you make raise beds with your Cub? I could not do it, so would like to know.
We will start seeds soon, even with the snow, in the greenhouse. Little greenhouse is part of the barn and it is all pure havoc in the barn. A mink gnawed around the summer trap door to the chicken coop and got in -- feathers everywhere. But I got the mink the next night. Trap now set with feathers on it right next to the Cub just in case there's more than one. Ordering chicks now, and buying eggs.
Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
Uggh....sorry to hear about your chickens. I had a fox lay down some havoc here. I found lost 20 chickens the first day. Heads chewed off and laying about waiting for him to retrieve the bodies. 2nd day more dead, but I pulled in the driveway as he was trotting off with one. I got my dog and followed him into the woods...followed his tracks in the snow. Never saw him again...probably didn't like having a Bull Terrier on his tail.
Hope you got a good mink pelt at least.
Am gonna attempt making raised beds with the hillers. Seen it done, will give it a shot.
Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
Final total for us is 20". Staffordville, about 7 miles northeast of us got 23", tops in the state.
Heavy sticky snow, very greasy.
Cub did OK, but I need to modify the chains so they stay on top of the lugs.
This was my truck at about 10am this morning;
Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
There are a number of ways to make raised beds or hills as they are called here. We use them for all of our truck gardening. Larger farms don't as it can be labour intensive ... so drill seeders and such are used instead.
Here is a thread discussing hilling. I am trying to find other posts that show how we do it here. ??? about using the Cub for gardening
Hilling is done with a horse hoe ... which is what locals call a horse drawn set of moldboards. Normally that is what we use, and still do. But I had a bee in my bonnet at one point and decided that I wanted to build a hiller to pull behind Ellie. So I did - Rudi's Hiller Project. This particular permutation didn't live up to my expectations, but it did solve a lot of issues for me. I now know what to do and I will be redoing this project over the next while or so.
The Cub-144 Cultivator has both moldboard and disk hillers which will accomplish this task nicely. I prefer the moldboards to the disk hillers though. Cub-144 Cultivator 11-30-50

Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
Rudi, Thanks for info. I was seeking a wide (36" or more) raised bed and that's what I'd never figured out how to do with the Cub. Don't know if hillers would do something so wide. As is, I use a walk-behind rototiller to make beds. Don't think the hillers or whatever would do it. Do you?
Re: What a Cab cn do, and do, and do....
I don't know. I have never seen 3 foot wide raised beds/hills in a garden anywhere except in my wife's flower garden. Those I did with a shovel and a rake plus my ride on with a trailer.
