Please, Santorum, Don't Hurt 'Em
IF WE ALLOW GAY MARRIAGE NEXT THING U KNOW PEOPLE WILL BE MARRYING GOLD FISH, Miley Cyrus tweeted.
She was protesting news that the president of Urban Outfitters has contributed to former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, and taking some liberty with arguments Santorum's made about the importance of protecting traditional marriage.
Such is pretty much the media life of Rick Santorum. When Keira Knightley took Daily Show star Jon Stewart's advice to use Google to identify the Republicans who participated in the first primary debate last month, the British actress reported: "I just Googled Santorum. I feel like my innocence has been taken away."
Santorum has more than his share of outspoken, vitriolic foes. And the insults and injustices of the political arena -- and the 17-point loss he took in his last election, for re-election to the Senate in 2006 -- are not keeping him from running for the Republican nomination for president of the United States this year.
The question on the minds of many who are aware of Santorum's campaign: "Why would he bother?"
Well, he would bother because he believes, as so many who have showed up at tea party rallies in the last two years do, that America is in existential jeopardy if we fail to make some swift and hard choices, rooted in who we are and who want to be. He would bother because he has experience working in Washington, working with people of a variety of views, moving legislation forward that provides humane solutions to problems sometimes created by well-intentioned government programs. He would bother because he loves people and policy, and sees the connections between the two.
On marriage, by the way, he has said that: "If we do not, as a party and as a people, stand behind the institution of marriage and understand its essential role as the glue that holds the family together, we are going to destine our children and destine the future of this country for a lower standard of living and less free and prosperous country."
Santorum, who was a leader in truly changing the abortion debate in the 1990s, does not discuss issues like the dignity of human life and marriage to be divisive or intolerant but he because believes they're integral to our founding, our divinely ordained rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
They're essential, too, to why he bothers with politics at all; the dignity of human life, for him, is not a talking point, or confined to one issue.
Now, I'm an unabashed fan of Santorum, and he's a friend of mine. So don't take my word for it. Consider what David Brooks, not known as a so-called hardline conservative, wrote on the eve of Santorum's 2006 election loss: "If serious antipoverty work is going to be done, it's going to emerge from a coalition of liberals and religious conservatives. Without Santorum, that's less likely to happen."
U2 front man Bono, who, of course, is known for his work trying to help the long-suffering people of Africa, told Brooks: "I would suggest that Rick Santorum has a kind of Tourette's disease; he will always say the most unpopular thing. But on our issues, he has been a defender of the most vulnerable." Not through reckless, unaccountable, redundant and otherwise misappropriated spending, through but good and responsible stewardship.
On Friday mornings for the last two years, Santorum has regularly guest-hosted Bill Bennett's nationally syndicated morning radio show.
On one of the final shows before his presidential launch, a caller from Atlanta offered that he had not been particularly fond of Santorum before the radio stint, thinking he was "just another politician talking about conservatism." But, "listening to you, it has become obvious that you not only understand the issues, but you live the issues."
Given a fair shot, and a lot of hard work -- which anyone who knows him knows he's committed to -- it might not just be an Atlanta caller who re-evaluates Santorum.
But can he win? I think this is the Republicans' election to lose. Santorum has won elections in his time in a heavily Democratic state, where he outpolled Republicans on the presidential ticket. "When you look at his record and his biography, from the way he talks about social, economic, and national security issues, he stands for what Reagan Democrats liked in Reagan," his senior adviser, Seth Leibsohn, points out.
Since Santorum is bothering to run, for the sake of republic, he's worth taking a look at. (Conservative eminence grise George Will, by the way, has also said as much.) For his record. For his plans. For who he is and why he does it. For America.

Lots of people disagree with gay marriage

I believe Mr Santorum comparing it with marrying goldfish is kind of silly. From what I remember Mr Santorum has a problem with the act of homosexuality and is vague about if he would support anti sodomy laws which even many anti gay marriage activist find silly.

No thanks Kate. Seeing as you dislike Palin to the verge of PDS, I would have to say any one you endorse is the wrong choice.

Uber is here, bringing UberBLACK service to Milwaukee
"Bar Month" at OnMilwaukee.com – brought to you by Absolut, Avion, Fireball, Pama, Red Stag and 2 Gingers – is back for another round! The whole month of February, we're serving up intoxicatingly fun articles on bars and clubs – including guides, the latest trends, bar reviews, the results of our Best of Bars poll and more. Grab a designated driver and dive in!
It's been long rumored, and long awaited, but the car service app Uber is finally in Milwaukee with the roll out of its signature UberBLACK service.
The move was announced by the company with the posting of this announcment, which features Milwaukee Bucks point guard Brandon Knight.
In it, the company stated:
With UberBLACK hitting the streets this weekend, Milwaukeens now have a convenient, stylish, and seamless way to move around the city. With just the push of a button, Uber will connect you with the closest available driver in town, ready to pick you up in minutes. You'll be able to see a picture of your driver, the car they're driving, and can even track their progress as they drive toward you!
The app is in its testing phase, so expect some hiccups and lack of availability, but as someone who has used the UberBLACK service in Chicago, I can vouch that it's very convenient, and a great way to get to where you need to go. And, it makes you feel a bit special, too.
And, since it's bar month here at OnMilwaukee.com (and every month of the year in the Cream City), be sure to use it to get home safely, too.
UPDATE: On the same day of its launch, the city of Milwaukee is saying that UberBLACK is illegal.
According to this FOX6 report, Milwaukee City Clerk Jim Owczarski said Uber has "made it crystal clear they have no intentions of complying with those rules and regulations," regarding filing for proper permits.
Uber general manager Nick Anderson contends that's not the case.
"Every city we go to, we research the local requirements," Anderson told FOX6. "So they're licensed, they have the proper insurance, and it's fully legal."
Stay tuned!
LegallyBlonde | Feb. 13, 2014 at 12:42 p.m. (report)
Big fan of Uber. Can't remember cab service without it. Keep an eye out for UberX, lots of controversy about that south of the border. Not a fan of the name uberblack at all though.
Great for Milwaukee!

Brewers out of top spot for first time since April
Published Sept. 1, 2014
The Milwaukee Brewers fell out of first place on Labor Day with a loss to the Chicago Cubs, the first time the Crew has been out of the top spot since way back on April 4. Here's a look at some of the odd numbers in that streak, and some events that went on as the Brewers were taking over first.
5 Packers to watch in 2014
Published Sept. 1, 2014
Anyone who follows the Green Bay Packers has learned over the last handful of seasons that nearly every player on the active roster is an important one. Injuries tend to do that. But that doesn't mean some bear more attention than others. Here are five players to watch, and why, as the 2014 season begins.
Busting the bubble: Players state their case in Packers win over Chiefs
Published Aug. 28, 2014
In the final game of the preseason schedule, the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 34-14 Thursday night at Lambeau Field. It was also the last audition for players on the "bubble," those hoping to survive the 22-man cut that must come by Saturday afternoon. Jeff Janis, Myles White and Jayrone Elliott all flashed in the win. Was it enough?

Packers starters ready to begin the season
Published Aug. 27, 2014

Trust is in the details for Rodgers, receivers
Published Aug. 22, 2014
It's not all about physical ability, at least not in Green Bay. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers requires his pass catchers to be mentally sharp in order to gain trust in them. And that comes from studying up on the details of the position, and the offense.
Bostick poised for a breakthrough with Packers
Published Aug. 21, 2014
In the National Football League, it is rare that a player gets a chance to truly develop. Brandon Bostick has had that chance in Green Bay, beginning as an undrafted wide receiver who made the practice squad. Now, he's competing to become the starting tight end for the Packers. He feels his time is now.

Fort Pierce Magnet School of the Arts in St. Lucie, FL has been chosen to test StageNotes Live, a multimedia educational program created by Camp Broadway, an education company, and Panasonic. Students and teachers in grades 3 through 8 will take part in the five-day program that uses elements from the Broadway musical The Lion King to teach about African society.
"These days kids are more accustomed to seeing and much more apt to learn through visualization," said David Washington, principal at Fort Pierce. "Thanks to Panasonic technology and Camp Broadway's creative curriculum, our entire school has been converted into The Lion King. In the past it would have taken two [to] three weeks to cover the core curriculum that this program is enabling us to cover in just a few days."
The program is designed to use sets, costumes, props, and dance movements from the musical to teach about African culture and folklore. According to Panasonic, lessons will be interactive, and students will be encouraged to use what they learn from the course to create their own stories and props.
According to Panasonic, the program was designed to aid in teaching subjects such as social studies and language arts. A curriculum guide and downloadable video has been provided for teachers participating in the program.
Fort Pierce Magnet School of the Arts, located in Fort Pierce, FL, has 360 students currently enrolled.

Unfunding Terror: The Legal Response to the Financing of Global Terrorism (Paperback)

DescriptionThe September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of 2,973 innocent civilians required as much as $500,000 to stage. At the time, al Qaeda was operating on an annual budget of between $30 and $50 million. However, despite the obvious fact that terrorists need money to terrorize, preventing the financing of terrorism was not a priority for the United States or the international community prior to 9/11. Jimmy Gurule, former Under Secretary for Enforcement in the US Department of the Treasury, provides the first book-length, comprehensive analysis of the legal regime that evolved following the terrorist attacks. The book begins with a discussion of how shutting down the pipelines of funding is as important as dismantling the terrorist cells themselves. Next, the book covers the various means and methods used by terrorist groups to raise money, and examines how money is transferred globally to finance their lethal activities. The principal components of the legal strategy to disrupt the financing of terrorism are then discussed and evaluated. Unfortunately, the author concludes that the legal regime has met with mixed results, and finds that the sense of urgency to deprive terrorists of funding that existed following 9/11 has since dissipated. As a result, international efforts to freeze terrorist assets have dramatically declined. Moreover, the US Department of Justice has suffered several embarrassing and disappointing legal defeats in prosecuting major terrorist financiers. The author provides numerous recommendations to Congress, the Executive Branch, and the UN Security Council for strengthening the legal regime to deny terrorists the money needed to wage global jihad, acquire weapons of mass destruction, and launch another terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11. "Unfunding Terror" fills an important gap in the literature and will be essential reading for counter-terrorism experts, law enforcement and national security officials, policy makers, academics and all those interested in the global war on terror.

RBI's rate cut will help investment: Ahluwalia
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India's decision to cut rates will help revive investment in the economy, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission said on Tuesday, adding that the economy was beginning to bottom out after a long slowdown.
The country's central bank reduced its policy interest rate by a widely expected 25 basis points on Tuesday, taking comfort from cooling inflation to make the first rate cut in nine months to support an economy headed for its slowest growth in a decade.
The RBI unexpectedly also reduced the cash reserve ratio (CRR), the share of deposits banks must keep with the central bank by 25 bps to 4.00 percent, which will infuse an additional 180 billion rupees into the banking system.

Slain boy's mom leads push to create crime of domestic violence
Joshua Savyon, 9, was shot to death by his father in a supervised visit at the Manchester YWCA. His mother, Becky Ranes, will testify next week in favor of a bill establishing a separate crime of domestic violence in the state.. (courtesy)
The bill would not change existing state laws that usually apply to domestic violence crimes, but would group the statutes in one new section.
"I hope this doesn't turn into a gun rights bill," she said, "because it's not."
While he had just received a copy of the bill, he said he believes the definition of intimate relationship needs to be clarified.
He said people are just beginning to study the bill and its implications, and he noted it could pass the Senate before anyone can mount a case against it.
Federal law targets those convicted of misdemeanors involving physical force or the threatened use of deadly force against family members or those who have been in "intimate relationships."
By establishing the domestic violence crime, it is much clearer who should be on the registry, she said.
The bill has the backing of the Attorney General's Office, the Department of Safety, the N.H. Association of Chiefs of Police, Child and Family Services, N.H. County Attorneys Association, N.H. Legal Assistance and the N.H. Sheriff's Association.

City workers arrived just before 11 a.m. Thursday and started patching up the holes.Jennifer Kress with Franklin Welding Service said her boss, who owns the property, put the signs up. They are glad the City is doing something, but said it is just a temporary fix until it rains again.

Good .22lr target rifle?

Annies pretty much rule the 3-P target world. The least expensive ones that are set up for the game you want to play are still excellent. Check them out at: ChampionShooters.com . Watch out for sticker shock!!
The Kimbers from CMP are gone, except for "new" but RUSTY ones, which may also have rusty bores.
Triggers are important to good position shooting. I wouldn't try to use a Savage MKII for 3 Position shooting; they just aren't well set up for it. If someone wants to shoot informally, like in turkey shoots, plinking, or recreationally shooting from the bench, the Savages are great. I haven't seen many wins by them, even in (unsanctioned) Plinker divisions of IR50/50 benchrest.
CZs are very nice rifles, but also not in the 3P or benchrest league, at least without a lot of work.
The least expensive quality target rifles are probably
Rem. 540X or 40X. The 540X may need to be bedded for its best accuracy, but triggers can be replaced.
Others, including the Rem 513 are pretty good shooters, but the actions and triggers are not the best quality. I had a Rem 521 that was an excellent shooter, but the action had issues.
People are like rifles. Some are tried and true, having great eyes, personality, and fun to be with. Others never seem to hit the mark with you. Still others go off half-cocked. Still, it's nice to know most of them.

Upon their return to the states, African American servicemen continued to be treated as scum, especially in the South. The beatings and lynchings went on unabated. Black leaders decided they needed to become more proactive in bringing about change rather than simply assuming that patriotism in wartime was going to bring equality.
There was hope during the New Deal that President Franklin Roosevelt would be an instrument of change. He was sympathetic to civil rights, but was not a visionary. FDR was not going to "rock the boat" and risk having his New Deal legislation be filibustered by southern senators. Despite repeated calls by the African American community, he never endorsed a federal anti-lynching law.
The only reason FDR signed an executive order in 1941 banning discrimination in the defense industry is because black leaders threatened a march on Washington. Roosevelt didn't want to give the Nazis a propaganda device they could exploit. Even then, his executive order didn't insure compliance.
By the outset of WWII, respect for African Americans had not improved in either the military or civilian life. The status of blacks was so unequal that the Red Cross at first refused to accept the blood of African Americans. When finally forced to, the organization made sure to separate it from white donors. Heaven forbid that a white person would receive "inferior" blood!
In the movie "Tora! Tora! Tora!" depicting the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, there is a scene that shows a black mess-man, Doris Miller, taking over a machine gun and shooting at Japanese bombers. That is not fabricated. Miller manned the gun for 15 minutes and maintained his post despite enemy fire. It took an order from FDR to eventually force the Navy to present him with the Navy Cross, the department's highest honor.

The Journal provides analysis of the U.S. Open men's final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. The WSJ Sports team provides commentary from Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York.
- 3:17 pm (EDT)
- Prematch
- Carl Bialik
Monday's U.S. Open men's final won't just pit the two best players in the world today, in No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 2 Rafael Nadal. It will feature the two best players in the world over the last four years.
Their joint leadership of the tour hasn't always been clear-cut since the start of 2010. That year, Djokovic faltered as he struggled with his serve and forehand. The next year, after he shored up both shots, his domination of Nadal somewhat obscured that Nadal was beating everyone else. And over the last 14 months, the duopoly's dominance was threatened by Nadal's absence from tour for seven months, Roger Federer's ascent to the top ranking last summer and Andy Murray's two Grand Slam titles and Olympic gold medal.
But after today Djokovic and Nadal will have won 12 of the last 16 Grand Slam titles, splitting them evenly if Djokovic wins today. They've won 20 of 34 titles at Masters events, which are tournaments featuring fields as tough as the Slams. Each of Djokovic and Nadal has been in the top two of the rankings for more than two years since the start of 2010. And Nadal and Djokovic, in that order, have the highest winning percentage on tour since 2010, among players who have won at least 160 matches.
Despite having to contend with Federer, the all-time leader in Grand Slam singles titles; and Murray, who is among the all-time leaders in match winning percentage; Nadal, at age 27, and Djokovic, 26, stand up well to other top duos over the last four decades.
Jeff Sackmann, of the tennis-stats Tennis Abstract, compiled the combined records of the two top male players over each four-year period since 1973 -- defined as the two with the highest winning percentage among those with at least 160 wins. Among that illustrious group of duos, Nadal and Djokovic have a better-than-average combined winning percentage against everyone else, and against the rest of the Top 10. With a few big tournaments left this year -- and despite Nadal's seven-month absence from tour and two months off in 2010 -- they also have six more wins than average against the rest of the Top 5; are 20 wins shy of the average number of wins over the rest of the tour; and have 99 wins against the rest of the Top 10, ahead of every other dominant pair except Bjorn Borg and Jimmy Connors in 1976-1979 and 1977-1980. Through Monday's final, Djokovic and Nadal are well ahead of other famous duos. They have combined for an 88% winning percentage against the rest of the tour and a 75% winning percentage against the rest of the Top 10, two marks Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi never reached in any of seven four-year periods in which they were the tour's top dogs, from 1992 to 1998.
While Nadal and Djokovic have beaten everyone else consistently, they have been playing each other more evenly than ever. In their rivalry, which will feature its record 37th meeting on Monday, Nadal leads, 21-15; while Djokovic leads 11-6 on hard courts, the surface used at the U.S. Open. But since the start of 2010, Nadal has caught up on hard courts while Djokovic has gained ground everywhere else. If Nadal wins the U.S. Open title, they'll have even records on hard courts and off hard courts over the last four years. Monday's final is their 16th meeting during that period, including 14 finals, six of those at Grand Slams -- though none since Nadal beat Djokovic at last year's French Open. And most of the last 15 meetings have been close; in nine, the loser won at least one set, and none of their last five matches on hard courts were decided in straight sets.

A look at key concept and production vehicles introduced at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show this week.
The AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept was created by Mercedes-Benz designers for a leading role in the PlayStation 3 racing game -- Gran Turismo 6. But the car -- with an aluminum body, carbon fiber parts, V-8 power, and weighing just over 3,000 pounds -- will also play another big role. "This is the future of Mercedes-Benz design," Gorden Wagener, vice president for design at Daimler, said in introducing the car. "This car, or elements of it, will make its way into production."

George Will: A bipartisan abdication
- Jim Webb
As America tiptoes toward a fourth intervention in an opaque and uncontrollable conflict - now Syria, after Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya - Webb's words require two minor modifications: Obama has demonstrated a power, not an authority; only the Constitution authorizes. And as Webb understands, Obama has been able to do so only because Congress, over many years, has become too supine to wield its constitutional powers.
Webb, a Virginia Democrat who declined to seek a second Senate term, vents his dismay in the essay "Congressional Abdication" (in The National Interest), a trenchant indictment of the irrelevance of an institution to which the Constitution gives "certain powers over the structure and use of the military." The President, Webb says, is commander in chief but only in "executing policies shepherded within the boundaries of legislative powers." Those powers have, however, atrophied from a disuse amounting to institutional malfeasance as Congress has forfeited its role in national-security policymaking.
Webb, who was a Marine infantry officer in Vietnam and Navy secretary for Ronald Reagan, remembers when Congress was "fiercely protective of its powers." Webb vigorously opposed the invasion of Iraq before he entered the Senate, which he departed disgusted by Congress' self-made irrelevance.
In December 2008, in its final hours, George W. Bush's administration signed with Iraq a Strategic Framework Agreement that was, Webb says, "not quite a treaty" requiring two-thirds Senate approval, but neither was it merely implementing current policy and law. It outlined the U.S. role in defending Iraq from internal and external threats, in promoting reconciliation and combating terrorist groups.
For more than a year the SFA was negotiated and finalized, but there was no meaningful consultation with Congress, no congressional debate on its merits and none sought by congressional leaders. In contrast to Congress' passivity regarding policy toward "an unstable regime in an unstable region," Iraq's parliament voted on the SFA - twice.
In May 2012, Obama visited Afghanistan to sign "a legally binding executive agreement" concerning the structure of future U.S.-Afghan relations, U.S. commitments to Afghan security and an anticipated U.S. presence beyond 2014. The agreement calls Afghanistan a "Major Non-NATO Ally." Congress was not formally consulted about this, but Afghanistan's parliament voted on it.
Noting that in foreign as well as domestic policy Obama is "acutely fond of executive orders designed to circumvent the legislative process," Webb recalls that in 2009 the administration said it would return from the United Nations' Copenhagen conference on climate change with a "binding" commitment for an emission-reduction program. So Webb wrote to remind the President that "only specific legislation agreed upon in the Congress, or a treaty ratified by the Senate, could actually create such a commitment."
Webb notes that Presidents now act as though they have become de facto prime ministers, unconstrained by the separation of powers. This transformation was dramatized in the Libya intervention:
"Was our country under attack, or under the threat of imminent attack? No. ... Were we invoking the inherent right of self-defense as outlined in the U.N. Charter? No. Were we called upon by treaty commitments to come to the aid of an ally? No. Were we responding in kind to an attack on our forces elsewhere, as we did in the 1986 raids in Libya after American soldiers had been killed in a Berlin disco? No. Were we rescuing Americans in distress, as we did in Grenada in 1983? No."
Instead, "we took military action against a regime that we continued to recognize diplomatically, on behalf of disparate groups of opposing forces whose only real point of agreement was that they wished to rid Libya of (Moammar) Gaddafi. This was not even a civil war" because there was "no cohesive opposition facing a regime." The result? "Rampant lawlessness" perhaps related to the murder of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, and "the regionwide dispersion of thousands of weapons from Gaddafi's armories."
The question, Webb says, is whether in "a world filled with cruelty," Presidents should be allowed to "pick and choose when and where to use military force" by merely citing the "undefinable rubric of 'humanitarian intervention.'"
Imperial Presidents and invertebrate legislators of both parties have produced what Webb correctly calls "a breakdown of our constitutional process." Syria may be the next such bipartisan episode.

Crime and Punishment in America
Macmillan, Oct 15, 1998 - Political Science - 230 pages
There are five times as many Americans behind bars today as in 1970. The national incarceration rate in 1997 was twice that in 1985. California's prison system has become the third largest in the world. And despite some limited recent declines in crime rates, we remain by far the most violent industrial society on earth.
Though our massive investment in the prison system has not resulted in enduring public safety, politicians and the media continue to insist that America's unique problem of violence is the result of a lenient society "soft" on criminals; that incarcerating an ever-larger proportion of our population is a "social program that works;" and that all other approaches to crime--from prevention to rehabilitation--have failed. Nationally acclaimed criminologist Elliott Currie dissects these myths in a groundbreaking book that is already changing the terms of the current debate.

The Surf Sister Blog
Additional Info
Costa Mesa, USA February 7 – Rip Curl International announced today that the surfing brand has happily re-signed Hawaiian professional surfer and long-time team rider Bethany Hamilton. Per company policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Hamilton, who courageously returned to surfing after surviving the loss of her left arm in a 14-foot tiger shark attack while surfing off Kauai's North Shore in 2003, is the world's most recognised surfing figure, remaining a source of inspiration to millions of people around the world through her story of survival,
faith, determination and hope.
The 21-year-old [who tuns 22 on February 8] returned to the water a mere one month after the attack and has continued to compete amateur and more recently professional surfing contests in the eight years since. Her biggest results include winning the NSSA National Title in 2005 and a second-place finish at the ASP World Junior Championships in 2008.
Hamilton will spend a lot of time in the water in 2012, setting her focus on competing the ASP Women's World Tour and progressing her big wave surfing. She will kick off her competition campaign at next week's Australian Open of Surfing at Manly Beach, Australia.
"My surfing goals are to bring my full focus back to competing and finding the time to pursue bigger waves and tow surfing. I'm really looking forward to some surf-focused travel with the emphasis on barrels, fun and living the search."
Hamilton originally signed with Rip Curl in 1999 at age 9 after being scouted at a local Hawaiian junior surfing event.

This is fairly entertaining:
(AP) -- What can you do with pumpkins? The list is not all that long. You can make pumpkin pies and breads, carve jack-o'-lanterns or use them to decorate your front porch.
Or you can send them hurling into the autumn sky at 400 mph with a 30,000-pound cannon.
It's pumpkin-chucking season!
The World Championship Punkin Chunkin contest -- http://www.punkinchunkin.com/main.htm -- takes place November 2-4 in Bridgeville, Delaware, about 30 miles from Lewes and 90 miles from Washington. The event began in 1986 and bills itself as the oldest and largest competition of its type. Last year over 50,000 spectators turned out to watch 100 teams compete, organizers said.
Launching machines at the Delaware event will include air compressors, catapults, centrifugal machines that spin the pumpkins before hurling them, and trebuchets. (The trebuchet design dates to the Middle Ages, using a counterweight to power its missile.) There is also a "theatrical" category in which the rules state that "distance is not the goal; ability to ham it up is the goal."
"People start out thinking they have to see some idiot who's built a machine to throw a pumpkin a mile," said Frank Shade, president of the World Championship Punkin Chunkin Association. "Then, after spending a weekend grilling and cooking out with 70,000 of their newest best friends, they find out this is really a good time."
The contest's record for distance was set in 2003, when a pumpkin went 4,434 feet.
