Where to Start
The Library has numerous electronic databases that provide full text access to articles in magazines, newspapers, trade publications and scholarly journals.
Where to start will depend on the research you are doing and the type of information you need to find.
To search for information on a broad topic:
Click the DATABASES tab from the box on the homepage, this defaults to the Databases by Subject Page. You may find your topic falls under more than one potential category (e.g. Philosophy or Religion).
- Or, if you know the name of the specific database, use the A-Z Listing.
- Use a Multi-Subject database if you don't see anything in the Subject Listing.
- Searching for broad topics (i.e., a paper on "sociology") will overwhelm you with non-specific sociology articles from any given database. In order to determine a more specific subject within Sociology (and therefore, appropriate keywords), consider the following strategies:
- Check your notes: Did your professor either mention or provide a list of pre-approved topics?
- Browse through a general reference or subject specfic encyclopedia on Sociology to get a better idea of the various topics
- Write about something you either know about or have an interest in
- Ask a Librarian!
To search for news, newspapers or current events:
- Select Newspapers from the Subject Listing menu.
- Consider popular print or online magazines. Most popular magazines can be found in our databases with full text access (e.g. Time, Newsweek, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Economist, Black Enterprise, Hispanic, etc).
If you know the title of a specific magazine, newspaper or journal:
- You can search for Print & Electronic Journals by Title or Subject. Note: this will restrict your searching to within one title only and is not recommended as a general search strategy.

(From: Lane Wilkinson, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga)
No Hits on Your Search?
In a library catalog or database, remember research is more an art than a science. So, if you receive zero results when you think you should've gotten something, CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
- Did you spell all your words correctly? Most catalogs and databases are very unforgiving of misspelled words and will not return "did you mean?..." suggestions.
- Did you try using alternate keywords? A good practice is to make a list of terms first. A terrific place to get the correct terminology or concept is from your Professor's syllabus or the table of contents from your textbook.
- Are you sure you're in the right resource? Particulary in subject specific databases, make sure you are in resource that will have information relevant to your topic. For example, if you are searching for articles in business management, you aren't likely to find as many relevant results in a heath sciences database.
- Are your terms too specific? Try starting with the highest level of whatever concept you are going for and stay away from entering phrases or entire sentences. If you are conducting a 'phrase search' and the results don't make sense, try putting those terms in "quotes" (e.g., "urban waste") or separate your concepts. More on advanced techniques and boolean searching...
- Are you including nonessential words? Library searches do not retrieve results in the same way Google does and as stated above, often do not perform well processing sentences. Library systems also generally ignore capital letters, acronyms and words such as 'a' 'an' 'of' or 'the' and do not understand symbols such as colons (:), semi colons or dashes. Acronyms, however, can be very effective if you are in the right subject specific database and resources such as EBSCO will guide you with subject suggestions as well.
- Did you try a subject search? Often it is best to let the catalog or database "do the driving" for you. Once you find a single relevant item, try clicking on the subject hyperlink(s) for more results.
- Still not getting what you want? Ask a Librarian!

Continuing an unexpected and incredible career renaissance, Welterweight Robbie Lawler (21-9, 1 NC) took a close split decision (29-28 x 2, 28-29) over Rory MacDonald (15-2) at UFC 167. Lawler remains undefeated in 3 fights since returning to the UFC following the Strikeforce merger. MacDonald has only lost twice in 7 fights inside the Octagon.
The bout started out slow through the first round with neither fighter really getting much off. Rory came out in the second round. He outlanded Robbie and landed a takedown later in the round. In the final round, Lawler took over. He landed some brutal punches that had Rory reeling. MacDonald ended the round on top, but it wasn't enough and he gave up the fight on two judges' cards.
What was the high point of the fight?
All of the third round. Most didn't give Robbie a chance outside a first round knockout, but he stayed strong throughout and poured it on in the final frame.
Where do they go from here?
Had the main event ended less controversially, Lawler would be in prime position to argue for being the next contender. As we take time to find out with Georges St-Pierre will take time off, retire, or jump right into a rematch with Johny Hendricks, Robbie will have to stay active. Carlos Condit is facing Matt Brown soon and the winner of the fight makes a lot of sense for Lawler.
Rory's back to the drawing board after this one. He'd have been in a precarious position regardless as he's always held he'd not fight St. Pierre for the belt. Now, he's fallen against someone he was heavily favored to defeat in Lawler. Him and BJJ ace Demian Maia are both coming off losses now and I'd like to see that fight.
Watch it now, later, or never?
I loved this fight and there's no reason not to go watch it.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- University of Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops says that No. 20-ranked Florida presents an uphill battle because of its downhill running.With starting quarterback Jeff Driskel out for the season, the Gators have turned to dual-threat quarterback Tyler Murphy. He showed poise and mobility in the pocket in Florida's 31-17 win over Tennessee Saturday, completing 8 of 14 passes for 134 yards and a score, while rushing for 84 yards and another touchdown. He just adds to an attack that already is heavily ground-oriented."With them, they're quite physical when they want to be," Stoops said at his weekly news conference today. "So when they get under center, it's a lot of downhill running. They're not getting away from that. I know Will (Muschamp) and how tough he wants to be and how tough his team is on offense and on defense. So they're going to get under center and they're going to run the ball downhill."Stoops used the word "physical" several times in his remarks to reporters. It's not hard to figure out that it will be a theme for the week for the Wildcats, who turned in a dogged defensive effort in a 27-13 loss to Louisville last time out.Louisville is a more potent offensive team than Florida. If Kentucky can put together a similar defensive effort, it would figure that the Wildcats would be in the hunt. But only, Stoops said, if they can match the Gators physically."They want to be physical," Stoops said. "They're very good defensively; as good as maybe anybody will play this year. . . . They want to control the football, keep the time of possession and be physical in the run game, and, again, take their shots off of that."Stoops said quarterback Maxwell Smith expects to participate in practice today, but under a "pitch count," in which his reps will be limited. As for Jalen Whitlow, Stoops said the emphasis will be on getting him off to a positive start and hoping he feeds off it."We need to get him off to a fast start," Stoops said. "Once he settles down he gets into the game and makes some very good throws at times and has the proper reads and all of that. So we've just got to make sure we get him settled down and get him off to a fast start."There were two issues that Stoops didn't want to get into. He said he didn't think Joker Phillips' return to Commonwealth Stadium (as a wide receivers coach at Florida) was a significant factor."I wouldn't think that would be any extra motivation for us," Stoops said. "We ought to be pretty motivated as it is."Stoops also isn't spending much time dwelling on UK's 26-game losing streak to Florida. It hasn't beaten the Gators since 1986."I think it's motivation, I do. I think it needs to be talked about," Stoops said. "But that can't be the focal point. We have to get better each and every day, each and every game. And that's what we're worried about and that's been our message since I've been here is just to get better."Copyright 2013 WDRB News.

NEW YORK — For the second year in a row, there weren't that many movies jostling behind the velvet rope to get onto my 10-best list. Maybe that's because I felt ambivalent to negative about several films this year that seemed to resonate powerfully with other viewers. "Looper," "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Django Unchained" are three examples of movies I tried to feel passion for and finally couldn't — much as I may have admired, respectively, Rian Johnson's imagination, Benh Zeitlin's community spirit, and Quentin Tarantino's adamantine cojones. Still, when it came down to distilling a whole year's worth of viewing into just 10 titles, I found with relief that it was impossible to remain stingy with my accolades: There were enough films that genuinely thrilled me this year to fill up a list, and then some. Forthwith, in alphabetical order, my 10 favorites of the year, plus five runners-up:
I've sometimes felt queasy about the Austrian director Michael Haneke's relationship to his audience: In movies like "The Piano Teacher" or "Funny Games," his merciless commitment to showing us the worst human beings are capable of can feel manipulative and sadistic. But in the admittedly hard-to-watch "Amour" — which bears agonizing witness to the decline of a Parisian octogenarian (the astonishing Emmanuelle Riva) before the eyes of her devoted but ultimately powerless husband (the equally great Jean-Louis Trintignant) — Haneke goes beyond facile nihilism to create a soul-wrenching portrait of love at the extreme edge of life.
"How to Survive a Plague."
If its essence could be bottled, David France's fierce, heartbreaking documentary about the very early days of AIDS activism could serve as a tonic for demoralized political organizers, a bracing reminder that change is possible when a group of committed people come together to fight injustice, indifference and prejudice. Even if you think you've seen every documentary you need to about the early days of the AIDS crisis (last year's "We Were Here," which focused on a small group of San Francisco activists, was exceptional as well), don't miss this cathartic, inspiring film.

Awesome DTRA season start at Leicester.
For the first round of the 2014 season Frank Chatokhine enjoyed the friendly DTRA circus mood and did really well with his his Rickman Metisse Flattracker. First place in all Vintage Class races and victory for the final at Leicester Speedway last week end.
Defying the weather forecast the UK dirt track season started with an explosive race meeting at Leicester Speedway. The 85% chance of rain turned into a 100% chance of exciting racing across all classes in round 1 of the DTRA National Championships.
For his very first Dirt Track championship race Frank Chatokhine was quite well prepared and tested a brand new home made steel shoe which helped to go a bit faster allowing a better feeling while cornering on the Rickman Flat Tracker.
The Leicester Speedway was also hosting a nice event Saturday night which Frank enjoyed a lot:
"We arrived Saturday night and had the good surprise to discover a Speedway race at our arrival at Leicester Speedway. We bought entry tickets and enjoyed couple of beers watching the race between the Lions and the Eagles. A really good way to get prepared for the first DTRA round on Sunday !
The Leicester race track is just perfect: well groomed and quite wide. The Rickman final transmission ratio was a bit short but it works well again. I had really good fun for this first races of the season.
I just can't wait to meet all participants and organization crew again to enjoy these good times together. Many thanks again for the special vintage trophy which will have a very special place in my workshop !
See you for the round 2 at Coventry Speedway on may 18th !"
Frank Chatokhine thanks again all his sponsors who did help him to enter this year DTRA championship: Ateliers RUBY, Edwin Europe, Café Racer, Castrol, FTWco, Sideburn and Seurat 3.

Dr. Patrick J. Kelly Honored at 2/25/2002 Reception for Receiving the Olivecrona Award
Dr. Patrick J. Kelly
|Margaret and Martin Tuchman were delighted to join Consul General of Sweden Olle Wästberg and Mrs. Inger Claesson Wästberg at a reception in their beautiful Manhattan home on Monday, February 25, 2002, to honor Dr. Patrick J. Kelly for receiving the 2001 Olivecrona Medal, his profession's highest honor.
The Olivecrona Medal is bestowed upon an internationally outstanding neurosurgeon in recognition of excellence and innovation. This Medal is named after the Swedish scientist, Dr. Herbert Olivecrona, one of the fathers of modern neurosurgery, and is traditionally presented by the Ambassador of the awardee's home country on behalf of the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm. The Medal is awarded annually during the Nobel Prize ceremonies.
The Manhattan reception was co-sponsored by The Brain Tumor Foundation and Re-Wired for Life Foundation, both founded by Dr. Kelly to benefit his patients. Over 100 people attended the reception. Since most of the attendees were patients of Dr. Kelly, the atmosphere was charged with admiration, gratitude, and love for the honoree.
Margaret Tuchman is one of the fortunate patients that Dr. Kelly has operated on. In 1999, Margaret underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, which significantly improved the quality of her life. Margaret had the distinction of being one of the speakers able to thank Dr. Kelly for his extraordinary surgical skills and humanity. Margaret invites you to the Re-Wired for Life Web site where you can learn more about the operation.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
Add beautiful mood lighting at outdoor gatherings. Why not craft up a set to use this summer.
Make it easier for them to connect with new friends by creating these fun "business cards" to share with friends so the moms can easily contact one another to schedule play dates, car pooling, and other fun activities. Using patterned paper scraps, rolling rubber stamps and ink, and border punches, these cards are a fun end-of-summer project.
The Continuous Stamp™ Wheel is an easy way to add background patterns to solid paper or additional embellishment to patterned paper. I used it on Darby's card to add an extra bit of brown vine to the faint existing gray design. I limited the stamping to the corners and edges so that the printed text would be easily read. I also used the Continuous Stamp™ Wheel on Cody's card to add some fun circle designs to the green paper I punched for the tree canopy.
For the main designs, I used Lever Punches and Border Punches to create flowers, trees, grass, and sunshine. To create the sun, I printed the card information on patterned paper and punched it out with the XXX-Large Circle Lever Punch. Cutting the circle so that about two-thirds of it would be the sun and the remaining one-third would be cut to create the sun's rays.
To add even more fun flair, I added some self-adhesive rhinestones to the flower centers and some machine stitching. There's so much you could do here, depending on how many you want to make and how big your pile of scraps is!
1. Print name, phone number, and other information onto cardstock-weight patterned paper.
2. Cut card base to 4 inches wide by 4 inches tall. Decorate with Continuous Stamp™ Wheel, punches, and machine stitching.

It may have been 1:00 a.m. when the final recommendations were made, but the message was loud and clear: the Belmont Planning Commission cannot recommend in favor four of the five items associated with for a new middle school on Davis Drive to the Belmont City Council.
Five items were under consideration for recommendation to the city council—the Mitigated Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment, Planned Development Rezoning, Conceptual Development Plan, and —for the development of the approximately 60,000 square-foot private middle school for 240 students.
After a review of the project by the city's community development director, Carlos de Melo, and a presentation by Amy Richard, commission chair Kristen Mercer opened the public hearing on the proposal that has drawn a mix of and strong support from members of the community. Of the 15 or so members of the community who addressed the commission, the majority favored the project.
Belmont resident and soccer coach believes the project would be fiscally neutral, and that the traffic concerns would be mitigated by CSUS. "And the use of the sports fields would also be good for the community, especially since we've lost fields at Fox and Ralston," Snider said.
Another speaker added that CSUS would be "A nice addition to Belmont's educational eco-system."
But for Belmont resident Bob Carrillo, the project doesn't make sense financially, "It doesn't benefit Belmont whatsoever. It's going to cost our school district $80,000 cumulatively. Belmont is Belmont—people didn't buy here to subsidize some rich people's school."
And , one of the project's most outspoken opponents reiterated his concerns, "Traffic, noise, light pollution, loss of tranquility, loss of open space and loss of wealth to Belmont."
At the close of the public hearing, the commissioners, under the direction of DeMelo, and with the support of the staff report and zoning maps, delved into the five items under consideration for recommendation to the city council—the Mitigated Negative Declaration; entitlements: General Plan Amendment, Planned Development Rezoning, Conceptual Development Plan; and Development Agreement.
On the Mitigated Negative Declaration, which is the environmental document associated with the project, six of the seven commissioners recommended in favor, with Commissioner Kenn Parsons being the dissenting vote.
"The noise study is deficient and new things keep popping up," said Parsons.
The commission then packaged the three entitlements into one discussion since all related to the city's General Plan. Of the General Plan Amendment , Planned Development Rezoning, and Conditional Development Plan, the majority of the commission recommended against on all three. However, commission chair Kristen Mercer stated that with some changes to the Conditional Development Plan, she would support it.
"Financially, this is a no brainer," said Mercer.
"However, there are a few sticking points--traffic, parking and pool noise," Mercer added.
Mercer made a case for keeping the actual tax revenues from the property in perspective, noting that now, only 10 percent of property taxes go to Belmont.
On the final item, the Development Agreement, the commission voted 6-1 not to recommend the project on the basis that it is not consistent with the city's General Plan. Commissioner Eric Reed was the lone vote in support of the Development Agreement.
"This is a phenomenal deal for the city," said Reed, making a case for a "bird in the hand."
"The property will be dumped if this project doesn't go forth, and the city will lose out. The notion that some other developer will come in here and give us what CSUS is giving us is preposterous," added Reed.
Commissioner Parsons said he can't support the Development Agreement as written.
"People don't move to Belmont because we have high-priced schools, they move here because we have good public schools," said Parsons.
Mercer added, "I can't exactly recommend it, but I hope the city doesn't entirely walk away from the project."
"Be careful what you wish for," Mercer cautioned.
"You just might get it."
DeMelo reminded the commission that the approval of the project is a legislative act that can only be decided upon by the , and that the commission's role was to take action on making recommendations in favor or against the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the three entitlements and the Development Agreement.
"We will transmit your proceedings to the city council," said DeMelo as the clock struck 1:00 a.m.
The recommendations will likely be presented at the August 14 meeting of the Belmont City Council.
Belmont Patch will update this story as information becomes available.

With election day just two days away, American's are wondering who will be the next president of the United States.
While the national polls still have the race too close to call, many voters are excited to know who will be the next leader of the free world.
"I am new to the state of Georgia and one of the first things I did as a new resident was get my driver's license so I could register in time for the election," said Kristen Trottier, Voter.
"I have sent in my absentee ballot two weeks ago," said Jim Mattingly, Voter.
Jim Mattingly knows firsthand the struggles American's have been dealing with in this economy, the same struggles both candidates discuss while campaigning.
"I experienced a lot of the things that have been coming up in the debates," said Mattingly.
Like many Americans, Mattingly was laid off in 2010.
"It was tough, and to be honest with you, all the help that I always heard that was out there for people who are unemployed, I didn't really see any of that, I about lost my house, didn't have any insurance coverage," said Mattingly.
He has since then gotten back on his feet and is working.
After years of not paying attention to the issues surrounding past elections, this election has sparked intrigue and he is not alone.
"One thing in particular that I am interested in seeing is the end to the gridlock in Congress, whoever is voted into the presidency, I hope that congress will support," said Trottier.
"I don't know that one man can change it, but I just pray that whoever gets elected can put their differences aside and come together," said Mattingly.
And many people are eager to have their voices be heard. Almost 1.5 million Georgians have already cast their ballots.

|Open enrollment impacts local schools
|Tuesday, March 05, 2013 7:39 PM
By JOE SHOUSE • Progress Correspondent
It's been nearly 25 years since the Ohio legislators created open enrollment as a pilot program. Four years later in 1993 the inter-district open enrollment policy took effect in Ohio. In short, open enrollment is when a certain school district allows a student to attend their district who lives outside their regularly assigned school at no cost to the student.
Most Ohio school districts have open enrollment with 64 percent offering statewide open enrollment while 14 percent allow open enrollment with adjacent districts only.
In Paulding County, all three districts (Paulding, Antwerp, and Wayne Trace) allow statewide open enrollment opportunities.

The last time Mos Def was on any screen, big or small, was in 2009, when he costarred in Next Day Air, and an episode of House M.D. most notably. Since then, he returned to the stage to work with Jeffrey Wright and Nicole Beharie, amongst others, in the John Guare play, here in New York City, titled, A Free Man Of Color, which I saw, and reviewed on the old S&A site.
It's was announced earlier today that Mr Def will be returning to the small screen - specifically, the Showtime Network - to join the cast of the hit series that centers on a bloodstain pattern analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who moonlights as a serial killer; aka Dexter!
THR says Mos will be featured in a multi-episode story arc during the shows upcoming 6th season, playing a " hardened ex-con who claims to have found religion yet seems to continually find himself surrounded by violence. Michael C. Hall's Dexter will reveal the truth of who he really is.
Oooh... so does he get sliced up?
I haven't watched Dexter since getting through all of season 1, which I thought was great, and halfway through season 2, which I didn't care for as much. So, I'm obviously far behind; but I don't expect to catch up. I thought the first season was really all that was necessary. It was wrapped up nicely, and I was satisfied. Successive seasons just seem like clear attempts to cash in, and thus exploitative. But I might check it out next season, to see what Mos Def's involvement produces.
Marissa | May 12, 2011 1:13 AM
Wow this is great news!!! I don't normally watch this show but will have to tune in to catch Mos Def!!! He is a criminally underrated actor!!!
Tovah | May 11, 2011 8:20 AM
This relevant to my interests. I've read that there won't be too many big bads this season, so I wonder how Mos will figure into that. Funny, I don't seem to recall Dexter killing any brothers. Aside from, well...never mind. I know nothing will top the Lithgow season, but I'm still optimistic. This show rarely disappoints.
Kris | May 11, 2011 8:02 AM
If you haven't watched Season 4, the Lithgow Season, you're missin' out, lemme tell ya. That was one of the best seasons of television ever. Seasons 1, 2 and, arguably, 3 were great, but Season 4 was excellent. I don't think the show will ever top the work they did that season.
Mos Def is a brilliant actor and I'm ridiculously excited to see what he brings to the show this upcoming season. Michael C. Hall and Mos Def together will certainly be some amazing stuff.
Jug | May 11, 2011 5:45 AM
Great for Mos. Been missin' him of late. Season 3 was a beast, at least when they started having a main nemesis per season, so Jimmy Smits started it off & was great. I checked out after that, mainly because Netflix wasn't agreeing with me & my lady, but I heard John Lithgow killed it (no pun intended).
Thought he was gonna play the new cop, Chicago Mike, but whatever. A true actor who can rap, not a rapper "trying" to act. Good shit!

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The Salathe Wall is an incredible route with lots of infamous wide cracks. The climb might be the longest route on El Cap at 35 pitches. There are many great ledges on this route, so consider leaving the portaledge at home.
Follow the El Cap trail to the base of the Nose. Head uphill to the left a short ways to the base of the route. The route starts up easy climbing to a ledge, then a finger crack above.
This route amazingly has very little fixed gear. There aren't even fixed anchors in many spots. 2 sets of nuts, including small HB offsets. Required cams are debatable, but a single black and blue alien (offsets useful too), double to triple set of green through red aliens, a triple set of .5 camalots through #3 camalots, two #4 camalots, and a single #5 and #6. A second in this big size would be useful, but is a tradeoff in weight.

Family and friends will be honoring the life of a local hero this weekend as Sgt. Daniel Lee's body will be returning home to Fort Wright.
Lee died Jan. 15 at the age of 28 after enemy forces in Afghanistan attacked his unit. The 2003 Dixie Heights graduate had been deployed since September as a Green Beret in the Army Special Forces.
Lee's body arrived at St. Agnes Church in Fort Wright this morning, where a visitation will be held tonight from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. A Mass will be held at St. Agnes tomorrow at 10 a.m. followed by a burial at Covington's Mother of God Cemetery.
Army officials say Lee's family will be awarded his Purple Heart. He is survived by his parents, wife and 6-month-old son.

A highly targeted mail campaign helped Democrat Bev Perdue win a key Republican district in North Carolina
The formula had worked consistently since 1992, and the 2008 race seemed to be shaping up the same way. In May, Democrats nominated two-term Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue, a former Senate Appropriations chair who called New Bern, the birthplace of Pepsi cola, home. Her campaign touted her job as a public school teacher and her commitment to education. Following the May primary, most Democrats were con%uFB01dent.
A strange thing happened, though, along the I-85 corridor. Republicans nominated Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, a moderate who had earned the respect, and envy, of Triangle progressives for pushing through light rail and even raising taxes to do it. He could compete for the urban/suburban vote that more conservative Republicans had historically lost to Democrats.
In a twist of fate, McCrory also bene%uFB01ted from Obama's campaign for change, since he could position himself as the outsider running against an establishment that had been plagued by recent scandals. McCrory's rhetoric began to echo that of the Obama campaign, calling for new leadership and a new direction. He accused Perdue of being too close to big donors who served on the Department of Transportation Board and had been accused of con%uFB02icts of interest.
By mid-summer, polls showed the race tightening and, by early fall, several had McCrory leading.
Enter Service Employees International Union (SEIU). North Carolina is one of the least union-friendly states in the country, with laws prohibiting collective bargaining by public employees and a history of brutal repression of union organizers. In May, though, the State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC) formally affiliated with SEIU, making it the largest public employees' union in the South.
After years of serving as the whipping boys of state government, with few pay raises and reduced bene%uFB01ts, SEANC retaliated in the early part of this decade with hardball political tactics—attacking its opponents and heavily supporting candidates it considered friends. Now, with the backing of a national powerhouse, the union hoped to pursue an aggressive agenda for state workers. Its top legislative priority is to repeal the law that bans collective bargaining. Labor leaders know that it's a tough %uFB01ght in the state's relatively conservative legislature, but it will be an impossibility if the governor wielding the veto
pen is a Republican.
With Perdue's numbers falling and McCrory's spiking, SEIU jumped into the fray. It spent heavily with a contribution to the Democratic Party to boost the ground campaign, it joined an independent expenditure with the National Education Association and the Democratic Governor's Association, and it put together its own direct mail campaign. By mid-September, the TV war was raging, with both sides pounding on each other and large sums of money being spent by independent expenditures. SEIU was looking for a way to make a serious and strategic impact on the race. Our polling from mid-summer showed a tight race, with Perdue leading McCrory 47 percent to 40 percent. But by Labor Day, new polls showed the race tied and some had McCrory leading.
Polling Suggests a Surprising Target: The State's Rural West
SEIU originally wanted to focus a mail campaign in the Charlotte area. The Queen City was McCrory's base and polling showed he held a large lead there. Perdue would have to cut into that margin substantially to win. In addition, other IEs and the Perdue campaign were spending heavily in that market. A targeted mail effort could support the television that was running.
However, as we delved into the crosstabs of the poll, a new target emerged: western North Carolina. The region was essentially tied, with McCrory holding a 1-point lead (44 percent to 43 percent) over Perdue. We also found that the region held the largest percentage of undecided voters (15 percent). And among unaffiliated voters, almost a third had yet to make up their minds. In addition, the voter %uFB01le revealed an efficient mail universe that %uFB01t the budget: 75,000 unaffiliated voters living in 62,000 house-holds in the western media markets.
We also knew McCrory needed a big win in western North Carolina. The region is overwhelmingly rural, white and conservative and has traditionally served as a base for Republicans. Every Republican who won statewide in recent years racked up large margins in the west. In 2000, the last time the governor's race was open, Democrat Mike Easley lost the region when he was %uFB01rst elected governor.
A series of poll questions gave us a clear path to de%uFB01ne McCrory. As mayor of Charlotte, he had been in several scuffles with rural legislators over funding issues; he had supported diverting state transportation money from western North Carolina to fund light rail for Charlotte; he was too close to the Charlotte business community; and he took large sums of money from developers. On each question, the reaction of western voters was much stronger than the state as a whole, with at least 72 percent saying the issue discussed made them less likely to vote for McCrory.
What emerged was a picture of a big city mayor who had little understanding of the needs of rural citizens. While western North Carolinians are conservative, they are also %uFB01ercely independent and proud of their humble lifestyle. They would have no use for a governor who put the interests of urban areas before the interests of rural values.
So although Charlotte was the initial target, we felt strongly that unaffiliated voters in western North Carolina provided a better target for a mail campaign. As a narrowcast medium, direct mail works because it can move a very speci%uFB01c audience with a very speci%uFB01c message. The polling provided both the message, "Pat McCrory is a big city politician who does not care about rural areas," and the target universe, 75,000 unaf%uFB01liated voters in western North Carolina who responded to that message.
We outlined our %uFB01ndings in an in-depth memo and presented it to SEIU. After a brief discussion, their staff agreed with our analysis. We settled on a %uFB01ve-piece mail plan that %uFB01 t the budget and was strong enough to impact the overall election result.
Creating Our Five-Piece Mail Program
We used the 11th Congressional District to target the mail. The district incorporates virtually all of the three media markets that serve western North Carolina. The district is 41 percent Democrat, 34 percent Republican and 25 percent unaf%uFB01liated. The goal was to ensure that the unaf%uFB01liated voters who have traditionally voted Republican would give Perdue enough support that she could stay even with McCrory. Early voting in North Carolina started Oct. 16, almost three weeks before Election Day on Nov. 4. With the Obama ground machine in full force in the state, we needed to reach early voters before the %uFB01rst polls opened.
Analysts predicted that 30 to 50 percent of the people would vote prior to Election Day. We began dropping mail on Oct. 14 and continued every third business day until the Wednesday before the election. Armed with an effective message and a solid target of persuadable voters, we started out with a piece called "Fabric" that tapped into the region's rural character. Focusing on the sentiment that the rural areas and small towns across North Carolina make up its foundation and character, we showed that McCrory, through his own words and actions, did not value or respect these aspects of the state. This piece set the stage for the rest of the mail program.
Voters in this region have a %uFB01rm belief in hard work and earning your keep, and the polling showed they didn't take kindly to McCrory befriending and bene%uFB01ting from big business while mayor of Charlotte. So, the next two pieces provided a one-two punch that wrapped McCrory around the Charlotte business community. One was a straight-forward depiction of the more than $80,000 in campaign contributions he had taken from Charlotte developers. The other was an eye-popping piece called "Big Perks" that illustrated favors the business community had done for McCrory, including sending him to Paris free of charge.
Throughout the campaign, McCrory touted his light rail initiative as an example of his progressive approach to governing. However, in the rural mountains, people equate transportation funds with money for better roads to give them easier access to economic centers. So the fourth mailer highlighted McCrory's attempt to divert state transportation funds to pay for Charlotte light rail even though the service would have no impact in western North Carolina.
The %uFB01nal piece we created argued that McCrory was more interested in helping developers than helping public schools. In an area where public schools have long suffered and development is often associated with second homes owned by out-of-state residents, education and overdevelopment topped the concerns of western voters. The mailer reinforced the idea that the mayor was out of sync with western North Carolina values.
The Results Were Overwhelming
When the votes were counted, the success of the program exceeded our expectations. Not only did Perdue win the 11th District, she won by more than 20,000 votes, by far the largest margin of any non-incumbent Democrat in a statewide race, and the largest margin for a Democrat in an open gubernatorial race in a generation. Her margin in the target area was twice as high as her margin in the state as a whole. She also received more votes than any other non-incumbent Democrat— including 2,288 more than Kay Hagan and 11,775 more than Obama/Biden, even though 1,354 and 3,906 more people voted in the U.S. Senate and presidential races, respectively.
The race between Bev Perdue and Pat McCrory was the closest governor's race in the country. In a year of Democratic change, in a state that is changing demographically, a Republican gubernatorial candidate ironically emerged as the candidate of change. While this twist helped make McCrory competitive in much of the state, in western North Carolina, traditional values trumped change and a highly targeted mail program told that story to the people who cared.

One of the golden rules of politics these days is "stay on message."
But when everyone has a different idea of what that message should be, well, then you get what we experienced last week during the NATO Summit.
The right to protest is one of the most important and cherished principles of democracy. But tell me this, what exactly were all these people protesting last weekend?
Here's just part of the laundry list: NATO, NATO involvement in Afghanistan, wars in general, the use of drones, Wall Street, the banking bailout, cuts to health services, the closure of mental health facilities, President Obama, Mayor Emanuel, Jon Burge, Chicago police in general... and that's just some of the signs and causes I witnessed marching around town.
True story, I actually saw a nasty verbal fight break out between some of the protesters who had just gotten off a bus from New York. One group wanted to protest the police, another: cuts to mental health.
So if the protesters can't even agree on what they're protesting, how are we supposed to get the message?
Give the '60s this-- at least they could agree on Vietnam. Seems to me the protest movement is badly in need of someone like Karl Rove, or David Axelrod. Yes, the very types they're protesting, to help them get on message.

Tanana Valley Railroad operates Engine No. 1, an 0-4-0 ST steam locomotive built in 1899, on selected dates during the summertime. Steam engine was the first locomotive that operated in Fairbanks, Alaska in 1905. The Friends of the Tanana Valley Railroad is a non-profit organization of volunteers that began restoration of the engine in 1997. A series of run dates can be found under the Operations Schedule. Engine No. 1 is on exhibit, and in occasional operation, at Pioneer Park (name changed from Alaskaland in 2002). Theme train rides include a Spooky Train and a Santa Train during the holiday season.
Called the "Scenic Railway of the World, this Alaskan scenic train ride is an experience of breath taking panoramic mountains, glaciers, gorges, waterfalls, tunnels, trestles and historic sites all from the comfort of vintage passenger coaches. The White Pass & Yukon Route was built in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush. The narrow gauge WP&YR climbs nearly 3000 feet in just 20 miles with steep grades of up to 3.9%, cliff-hanging turns of 16 degrees, two tunnels and numerous bridges and trestles, including a steel cantilever bridge built in 1901.

November is National Adoption Month.
Several organizations came together Sunday in hopes to encourage people to help children in need.
People interested were able to stop at the Marion Public Library to find more resources when it comes to adopting.
About a dozen organizations were on hand, ranging from adoption opportunities to even help for children in the community.
"Help families either keep children in their homes or to come along side children that need families and be able to provide a loving home for some of those children whether that's through foster care or through adoption," said Nicole Herr, event organizer.
Kim Hofmaster adopted her six and a half year old girl from China about a year ago. She says there is a need for adoption in Iowa and across the world.
"Most of the kids in orphanages are considered very unlucky. They're special need. They age out at 14 and no longer eligible for adoption and their life at that point is very bleak," said Hofmaster.
Sunday's event is in conjunction with the national movement, "Orphan Sunday."
"Orphan Sunday" started in Africa when a church pastor expressed the need for his community to adopt.
Now it's been recognized nationwide.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

Second-half defense propels Defiance to 62-46 win over Beavers
The Beavers had a solid first half and controlled the scoreboard for a majority of the period. Junior Will Pope (Somerville/Preble Shawnee) dumped in a layup for the first tie of the game. Twenty seconds later, junior Josh Johnson (Ottawa-Glandorf) buried a triple try, giving the Beavers the lead. The Yellow Jackets wasted no time in tying the game back up less than a minute later. Junior Dustin Kinn (Alvada/New Riegel) put the Beavers on top by two at the 15:56 mark but eight seconds later Defiance again tied the game.
The Yellow Jackets went up by three for a few minutes before sophomore Ryan Ebbeskotte (Fort Jennings/Delphos Jefferson) and Kinn both converted to put the Beavers back in the lead. The visitors stayed in control until late in the stanza with their largest lead being five after a 3-pointer from senior Tyler Neal (Bluffton). Defiance used a 10-2 run to take the lead but Johnson dialed long distance with 19 seconds left in the half for a 28-28 tie at the break.
Defiance wasted no time taking control to start the second half. The home team went up 40-31 at the 16:13 mark and kept the lead for the entire half, outscoring the Beavers 34-18 for a 62-46 final score.
The Beavers were led by Kinn who had 11 points and 11 rebounds for his first career double-double. Johnson added nine points from three triples. Freshman Thayne Recker (Arlington) pulled down six rebounds.
A commanding 45-28 Bluffton advantage on the boards was offset by eight more turnovers (13-5) and a miserable 6-of-17 (35.3%) shooting night at the stripe. The Yellow Jackets were 10-of-12 (83.3%).
Bluffton could not overcome a cold-shooting first half after jumping out to an early lead on a Taylor Whitaker (Mansfield/Lexington) three. When Defiance finally found the range, the Yellow Jackets put it into overdrive as they built a commanding 34-9 lead at the break.
The second half started with the Beavers going on a 9-2 run to close the gap to 36-18 with 16 minutes left. However, Defiance answered back and held off Bluffton's rally en route to a 54-32 win over the Beavers in the Weaner Center.
Sophomore Rachel Debord (Lebanon) led the way offensively with 10 points and she pulled down five rebounds. Brooke Ruffer (Stryker) hauled in seven boards and added four points. Taylor Knight (Perrysburg) chipped in with four boards of her own.
Bluffton hit just 13-of-47 from the field (27.7%), including a paltry 18.2 percent in the opening half (4-of-22). The Jackets also pounded the boards, outrebounding the visitors 48-28.
The Beavers return to action on Saturday when they head to Hanover College. The tip is set for 2 p.m.

(01/31/13) - A local family is offering a $1,000 reward for anyone who can
help find their therapy dog, who works with local elementary students.
Brody is a 2-year-old Bernese Mountain dog.
He was last seen Monday night in Flushing Township, and since then,
countless volunteers have been searching at all hours, looking for him.
Brody helps autistic students at Central Elementary School in
Flushing and sits in on reading sessions at Seymour Elementary, so students are
missing him, too.
Brody's owner remembers one special time he worked his magic.
"Couldn't get the words out, was struggling, and Brody just reached over and put
his paw right on his lap. And you know, to me, that was his, 'It's OK, take a
breath and we'll get through this,'" said Brody's owner Charissa Hope.
Hope tells ABC12 the dogs tracks go into a street, but then stopped, so the
family fears someone picked him up.
Anyone with information on the dog's whereabouts has been asked to call Hope
at 810-922-0106. She also want people to know he is allergic to regular dog

Poured a 341-ml bottle into a tulip glass.
Appearance - bright straw yellow beer with decent foamy white head, gently subsiding with respectable lacing on the slopes of the glass. Notable carbonation.
Smell - fresh cidery-malty aromas with a slight corny cooked-vegetable element.
Appearance - very full flavour and in fact a nice taste profile from start to finish. Matches the aroma with a cooked veggie subtlety with the grainey crispness throughout. Malt is sweet but not overbearing.
Mouthfeel - bright carbonation but overall well balanced.
Drinkability - this is fairly expensive but this is also a highly drinkable beer that I could easily pack away quite a few of these.

Appearance: Clear 195ml bottle. Very light, clear pour with a "bubbly" white head. Looks like a sparkling wine without the carbonation.
Smell: Moderatley hopped. Very floral and light.
Taste: Light hoppiness. Corn-like and grainy. Almost vegetable-like qualities. Medium body w/some maltiness. Bland finish.
Mouthfeel: Fuzzy like a gingerale. Not crisp but a more "soapy" mouthfeel.
Drinkablilty: I would probably buy this beer again. While i didn't fall in love with it, it was different enough to make me crave another sample.

Pale in colour with little thin head, a promise of flat watered down beer. Smells acidic and flat, no indication of floral flavours. Taste strange and metallic. The malty taste catches on early but leaves the tongue with a aftertaste of metal and annoying sourness. This taste reminds of homebrew of questionable quality. No floral notes. Hardly bitter at all or enough. One good thing about the beer is that it is not heavy, for those who thinks its a good thing.
Another drinkable beer for the summer. I will settle for their coffee porter instead.

Poor example of a pilsner, surprised how this beer makes it out of thebrewery. Lots of off flavours, both in the nose and aroma. Clarity is not good either, unless they are shooting for a kellerbier which this does not taste close to.
I enjoy other mill st beers but this one is sub par. It could be a great beer but needs more attention in the brewhaus.

A 20oz pint at a St. Louis Wings something-or-other in downtown Toronto, after an emergency lunchtime phone-call to head office. Good god, beer me.
This beer appears a clear, rather pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat soapy eggshell white head, which leaves a pleasantly thorough array of layered cloudy lace around the glass as it evenly melts away.
It smells of pale grainy malt, breakfast cereals, a hint of tart lemon, and fairly skunky, grassy hops. The taste is more semi-sweet pale cereal malt, faded citrus tones, a subtle hard water minerality, and tame floral, grassy hops.
The carbonation is average - as in just frizzy enough - the body moderately weighted for the style, a tad oily, and generally, unassumingly smooth. It finishes off-dry, the malt hanging on, and a certain vegetal character arising, amongst some lingering floral hops.
A fairly refreshing quaff, but not really anything remotely near a German Pils. That bit of pedantry aside, it went well enough with some decent chain restaurant pulled pork. Also, no booze essence swirling about me when I head back to the client's offices.

Pale straw body with 2-3 fingers of tight white head. Decent retention. Some lace left bhind. It's extremely fizzy looking.
Faint sweet grain and hop aroma. Kind of hard to pick up.
Cereal and grassy hops, both very mild. A lemony note in the middle.
Light bodied and gassy. It's a thirst quencher on a hot day, but that carbonation is a bit much.

An Ok beer. Pale with above-average carbonation. More promotion of organic term and the 195 ml. size than quality beer. Hint of honey and lemon mid-sip but like a light taste beer. Low carb too? Aroma is a negative - could be apple cider. Thin mouthfeel. Could get a lady to try a beer.

M - good carbonation level, watery thin, bready and a little dry finish
D - very one dimensional, easy drinking but only because it's thin and generic, one of their poorer offerings, i suspect they are simply capitalizing on the whole "organic" buzz, which people don't even understand

Poured from a clear 222 mL bottle a pale straw colour with a one-finger white head sitting on top of an effervescent body. The head had good staying power and left sticky lace on my glass. The smell was bready malt with a hint of sweetness, grass and grain husks. Overall, the taste was unremarkable malty up front with a only a faint bitter bite from hops and a bit of a rough grainy finish that gave it some character. The small bottles and low ABV make it a nice alternative to a gawdawful light macro, but there are so many other beers I'd rather have.

3.8/5 rDev +20.3%
Pours a clean, pale-yellow with a fairly dense bright-white head. The head settles down to a thin blanket over the surface and then to just a ring around the glass. No retention and only the smallest bit of lacing.
Wheat, yeast, and a little bitter astringency: smells a lot like your average lager, only much fresher.
It's quite sweet for a lager, but in a nice way. The taste is light and well-balanced. Clean wheaty taste with some background hops to round it out; that's about it! But I'm sure this is what they were going for. They want this beer to sell, not to scare people away. The bottle is dated J22 09. I'm not familiar with their dating system, I suppose this could be any of January, June or July. Regardless it tastes very fresh, could this be the organic quality? I'm really not a fan of this style of light lager but in terms of the style, this one is probably one of the best I've had. Way better than any similar macro, that's for sure. Clean finish, as described on the back of the bottle.
The feel is better than average for this type of beer. Smooth and moderately carbonated. I like it.
Not bad! This is quite drinkable. I actually bought a six of this to use in making pizza dough but would potentially buy it in the summer to drink ice-cold on a scorching day; it's that kind of beer for sure.

YAZOO CITY, MS (WLBT) - Six former MDOT workers have pleaded guilty in a fraud scheme run through the vehicle mechanic shop at the Yazoo City MDOT facility.
Joseph Gallagher, Gene Taylor, Clarence Shelton, James Malone, Ivory Luckett and Dennis Pierce all admitted their involvement. The fraud ran the gamut from using false invoices to embezzle money, to using MDOT to pay bills for private parties, including work on some of the employees' personal vehicles.
The penalties included fines, probation --and in one case, house arrest. Check out the link to the MDOT press release for more details.
