Karl Rove was served with a subpoena Sunday, Oct. 24th, 2010, as he arrived at CBS studios to appear on "Face the Nation." The subpoena was to compel Rove to provide a deposition in a lawsuit that stems from the 2004 election in Ohio. Despite the fact that news crews from CBS and CNN taped Rove being served, neither have reported it or aired the footage.
I sat down with the attorneys who issued the subpoena, Clifford Arnebeck and Bob Fitrakis, who explained how their suit reached this point and what Mr. Rove's legal obligations are, considering his aversion to appearing under oath.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – A handful of McDonald's employees in northeastern Ohio received handbills in their most recent paychecks suggesting they vote for three Republican candidates.
"If the right people are elected we will be able to continue with raises and benefits at or above our present levels," the insert said. "If others are elected we will not."
The fast food chain's corporate headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill., quickly condemned the action by Canton franchisee Paul Siegfried, saying it violated company policy. Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, the Democratic elections chief, said she was launching an investigation because the action appeared to violate Ohio election laws. [Read more]
American business leaders are concerned about the pressure they feel to donate to political campaigns and the influx of large, undisclosed donations to third-party political organizations that are not required to disclose their sources of funding, according to a new Zogby poll commissioned by the Committee for Economic Development (CED).
The survey found that 60 percent of the over 300 business leaders polled say there is pressure to contribute to political efforts.
Seventy-seven percent of respondents believe that corporations should disclose all of their direct and indirect political expenditures, including money provided to third-party organizations to be spent on campaign ads. [Read more]
We hope you enjoy this issue of Public Citizen's e-newsletter about the intersection of money and politics. This is part of the campaign we developed following the disastrous Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v.

We'll update you regularly with select news stories and blog posts, legislative developments and ways to get involved.
On Sunday, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele took to the airwaves with his party's twin messages of corporate pandering and denial.
It was a remarkable performance.
Asked by Meet the Press host David Gregory if he was worried about the unprecedented amount of undisclosed special interest money being spent in this election, Steele answered, "I don't know what they're talking about. No one's produced one shred of evidence that any of that is happening."
Steele then proceeded to explain that he doesn't have any evidence of secretive corporate spending in elections because organizations doing such spending aren't required to disclose their donors: [Read more]
The Supreme Court sent a wave of corporate and union money flooding into campaign ads this year, but it did so with the promise that the public would know — almost instantly — who was paying for them.
"With the advent of the Internet, prompt disclosure of expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with the information needed to hold corporations and elected officials accountable for their positions," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote in January. "This transparency enables the electorate to make informed decisions and give proper weight to different speakers and messages."
But Kennedy and the high court majority were wrong. Because of loopholes in tax laws and a weak enforcement policy at the Federal Election Commission, corporations and wealthy donors have been able to spend huge sums on campaign ads, confident the public will not know who they are, election law experts say.
Corporate donors have been able to hide their contributions despite the opposition of shareholders and customers — the very groups cited by Kennedy. [Read more]
WASHINGTON — Democratic Rep. Dina Titus has outraised her Republican challenger, Nevada physician Joe Heck, by more than $1 million.
But the millions collected by the candidates in their battle to represent Las Vegas still fall well short of the nearly $6.8 million that special-interest groups and political parties have pumped into the race, making it one of the House contests attracting the most outside spending. Much of the money is flowing into negative advertising. [Read more]
WASHINGTON – A year ago, two top Republican strategists sat down for lunch at the venerable Mayflower Hotel, five blocks from the White House, calculating how to exploit the voter anger they had seen erupt at Democratic town hall meetings that summer.
Today, the money-raising success of the GOP-allied attack led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Karl Rove-inspired American Crossroads has stunned opponents and even its own architects. It's one big slice of the estimated $3.5 billion expected to be spent on this year's campaigning, a record for a midterm election.
Financed to a great degree by undisclosed donors — and helped by a new Supreme Court ruling — the deep-pocketed groups have become a dominant part of this election's narrative. They have reversed past pre-eminence by Democratic outside groups. And they have become a prototype for elections to come.
Their effort has been a major factor in the $264 million in spending so far in this election by outside groups — organizations separate from the political parties and candidates. [Read more]
As we reported earlier, European companies are using political action committees to spend quite a bit on lawmakers who have blocked climate legislation in the Senate. But as Wonk Room reported over the weekend, foreign oil and gas interests have also directed quite a bit of cash to the US Chamber of Commerce, which is running a $75 million campaign focused on ousting congressional Democrats.
Wonk Room notes that a number of foreign oil and gas companies pay their member dues to the Chamber of Commerce's 501c(6) account, which is the same account that funds its political ads. Those ads have included attacks on Democratic incumbents for supporting the House cap-and-trade bill (a.k.a. the "job-killing energy tax")—folks like Joe Sestak (D-Penn.), a House member currently running for Senate, and Reps. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) and Betsy Markey (D-Colo.). Among the groups paying into this electoral war chest, and the interests they represent:
– Avantha Group, India (at least $7,500 in annual member dues): power plants
– The Bahrain Petroleum Company, Kingdom of Bahrain ($5,000): state-owned oil campany
– Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company, Kingdom of Bahrain ($5,000): state-owned oil company
– Essar Group, Mumbai, India ($7,500): oil & gas, coal power
– GMR, Bangalore, India ($15,000): coal power, mining
– Hinduja Group, London, UK ($15,000): the Gulf Oil group
– Jindal Power, New Delhi, India ($15,000): coal power
– Lahmeyer International, Frankfurt, Germany ($7,500): power plant engineering
– Punj Lloyd, Gurgaon, India ($15,000): offshore pipelines
– Reliance Industries, Mumbai, India ($15,000): oil and gas, petrochemicals
– SNC Lavalin, Montreal, Canada ($7,500): mining, power plant, and oil & gas engineering
– Tata Group, Mumbai, India ($15,000): power plants, oil & gas
– Walchandnagar Industries, Mumbai, India ($7,500): power plant, oil & gas engineering
– Welspun, Mumbai, India ($7,500): oil & gas exploration
For nearly two decades, Lillian McEwen has been silent — a part of history, yet absent from it.
When Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment during his explosive 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearing, Thomas vehemently denied the allegations and his handlers cited his steady relationship with another woman in an effort to deflect Hill's allegations.
Lillian McEwen was that woman.
At the time, she was on good terms with Thomas. The former assistant U.S. attorney and Senate Judiciary Committee counsel had dated him for years, even attending a March 1985 White House state dinner as his guest. She had worked on the Hill and was wary of entering the political cauldron of the hearings. She was never asked to testify, as then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), who headed the committee, limited witnesses to women who had a "professional relationship" with Thomas.
Now, she says that Thomas often said inappropriate things about women he met at work — and that she could have added her voice to the others, but didn't. [Read more]
"The chamber's increasingly aggressive role — including record spending in the midterm elections that supports Republicans more than 90 percent of the time — has made it a target of critics, including a few local chamber affiliates who fear it has become too partisan and hard-nosed in its fund-raising."
So reports a headline story in the New York Times yesterday about the Chamber of Commerce's increasingly secretive and partisan fundraising and lobbying efforts. The Chamber, once an institution that supported small and family businesses, increasingly does the bidding of a few large corporations, and in the first part of our GRITtv Digs investigation, Harry Hanbury starts to open up the Chamber's secrets for you.

Prudential Financial sent in a $2 million donation last year as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce kicked off a national advertising campaign to weaken the historic rewrite of the nation's financial regulations.
Dow Chemical delivered $1.7 million to the chamber last year as the group took a leading role in aggressively fighting proposed rules that would impose tighter security requirements on chemical facilities.
And Goldman Sachs, Chevron Texaco, and Aegon, a multinational insurance company based in the Netherlands, donated more than $8 million in recent years to a chamber foundation that has been critical of growing federal regulation and spending. These large donations — none of which were publicly disclosed by the chamber, a tax-exempt group that keeps its donors secret, as it is allowed by law — offer a glimpse of the chamber's money-raising efforts, which it has ramped up recently in an orchestrated campaign to become one of the most well-financed critics of the Obama administration and an influential player in this fall's Congressional elections.
They suggest that the recent allegations from President Obama and others that foreign money has ended up in the chamber's coffers miss a larger point: The chamber has had little trouble finding American companies eager to enlist it, anonymously, to fight their political battles and pay handsomely for its help.

The publication of an invitation that Koch Industries sent to top conservatives for a private strategy session in January lifted the curtain, however slightly, on the deep-pocketed funders betting on the Republican Party's re-emergence.
Among the list of invitees were think-tank types, private equity titans, energy conglomerates, and media personalities — all partaking in a forum "to counter the most severe threats facing our free society and outline a vision of how we can foster a renewal of American free enterprise and prosperity."
But exactly how deep are their pockets? The good-government group Campaign Money Watch ran the names of those who attended Koch Industries' most recent gathering in June 2010 and found that they have contributed at least $35 million to federal candidates, parties, and political committees over the past 20 years.
Coming from a pool of roughly 210 attendees, the total is still a remarkable figure (only 36 on the list had no record of donating). That said, more than $15 million of the $35 million came from just ten attendees. Not all of the money went to Republicans. The Koch brothers, for instance, have given a small portion of their political donations to Democrats. But a vast majority was directed at the GOP. And in releasing its finding, Campaign Money Watch makes the assertion — not illogically — that Koch Industries and its guests are likely aiding some of the anonymous ad campaigns that are dominating the current electoral cycle. [Read more]
Earlier, ThinkProgress' Lee Fang revealed several documents outlining the details of one of right-wing billionaire Charles Koch's secret convenings of corporate political donors. As Koch revealed to the Wall Street Journal in 2006, the purpose of these meetings is to recruit "captains of industry" to fund the conservative infrastructure of front groups, political campaigns, think tanks and media outlets. Buried in this document, however, is a surprising revelation about the role two supposedly impartial jurists have played in these extended fundraising solicitations: "Past meetings have featured such notable leaders as Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas."
A Supreme Court justice lending a hand to a political fundraising event would be a clear violation of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, if it wasn't for the fact that the nine justices have exempted themselves from much of the ethical rules governing all other federal judges. Nevertheless, a spokesperson for the Supreme Court tells ThinkProgress that "[t]he Justices look to the Code of Conduct for guidance" in determining when they may participate in fundraising activities. Under that Code:
Fund Raising. A judge may assist nonprofit law-related, civic, charitable, educational, religious, or social organizations in planning fund-raising activities and may be listed as an officer, director, or trustee. A judge may solicit funds for such an organization from judges over whom the judge does not exercise supervisory or appellate authority and from members of the judge's family. Otherwise, a judge should not personally participate in fund-raising activities, solicit funds for any organization, or use or permit the use of the prestige of judicial office for that purpose. A judge should not personally participate in membership solicitation if the solicitation might reasonably be perceived as coercive or is essentially a fund-raising mechanism. [Read more]
If the Republicans take back the House and Senate on Nov. 2, America's richest brothers will be partly to thank. Oil billionaires Charles and David Koch's tremendous spending power and reach–what the media has dubbed the 'Kochtopus'–is unrivaled. The conservative nonprofit David founded, Americans for Prosperity, has said it plans to spend $45 million this election cycle, more than three times the $13 million the Democratic Governors Association has on hand as of mid-October. There's no way of knowing how much the Kochs have given to the AFP or any other group; new Senate legislation allows tax exempt nonprofits to raise unlimited funds without disclosure. Publicly, only about $3.9 million can be traced to the brothers, including a $1 million donation to the Republican Governors Association from David, a former vice presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party.
President Obama has come out swinging against the Koch brothers, referring to AFP in an August speech as part of "a corporate takeover of our democracy." The Kochs are no fans of Obama's either, and they're already strategizing beyond this election. Charles Koch recently sent a letter inviting potential donors to a four-day retreat in Palm Springs in January. He cited the attendees from his last meeting, which reads like a Who's Who of Forbes 400 power players: Phil Anschutz, Blackstone's Steve Schwarzman, Amway's Rich DeVos, Citadel's Ken Griffin, and Ken Langone, Home Depot's original investment banker. In his letter, Koch makes it clear that the retreat won't be "fun in the sun," it'll be formulating the next plan of attack.
Other right-wing groups are following AFP's lead: Karl Rove's American Crossroads has become the scourge of the left, publicly raising millions from billionaires including Public Storage tycoon B. Wayne Hughes, Texas investor Harold Simmons, TV mogul Jerry Perenchio and oil heir Robert Rowling. The group announced on Wednesday that Donald Trump has chipped in too. American Crossroads' sister group Crossroads GPS is also raising unprecedented amounts of money toward anti-Democrat attack ads, but it's not required to disclose its funding. Outraged liberal groups and Democratic politicians have asked the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the IRS to investigate. [Read more]
The Republican National Committee raised $9.8 million in September, far less than the Democratic National Committee's more than $17 million haul.
The party announced in a release the $9.8 million figure and said they raised $4.25 million during the first two weeks of October. The DNC raised $11.1 million during the first 13 days of October.
The RNC release noted it's a strong total historically given the GOP does not control the White House or Congress.
"Indexed for inflation, September's fundraising was $3.6 million more than the DNC raised in September 2006 and $1.7 million more than the RNC raised in September 1994," officials said.
RNC officials said they got a $2.5 million loan in September as part of an existing $15 million line of credit. "These resources will help provide our candidates with the best possible opportunity to win on November 2," the party said in a release. [Read more]
Pity the campaign finance reform activist. For years he's fought to wring big money out of politics and shine a spotlight on who's funding campaigns. But less than a decade after that shining moment for the campaign finance reform movement, the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (known as McCain-Feingold after its two chief Senate sponsors, John McCain and Russ Feingold), its successes are unraveling and its prospects look dimmer by the day.
The 2010 elections will likely see more than $300 million spent by conservative independent groups who disclose little or nothing about their donors. (Pro-Democratic unions will spend perhaps half that, though their funds come from rank-and-file members, not outside donors.) That comes on the heels of a January 2010 Supreme Court ruling in the Citizens United case, which declared that corporations and unions are entitled to spend their money on direct electioneering — meaning to help or defeat candidates — as a function of their free speech. Campaign reformers say the Citizens United decision has effectively served as a green light for a new torrent of corporate cash that's being funneled in the political system through intermediary groups, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which take advantage of legal loopholes to keep their donors anonymous. [Read more]
As promised, MSNBC's First Read gang releases its NBC/WSJ polling showing that voters do care about the secret cash funding attack ads, despite all the assertions you keep hearing to the contrary:
So how has the White House/Democratic campaign against the GOP-leaning outside groups that have been spending so much on TV ads this midterm cycle fared? Per our poll, 74% say it's a concern that outside groups have their own agenda and care only about electing or defeating candidates based on their own issues; 72% say it's a concern that these groups don't have to disclose who's contributing to them; 71% say it's a concern that the candidates who are helped by these groups could be beholden to their interests; and 68% say they're concerned these groups are funded by unions or large corporations.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – American Future Fund, a conservative nonprofit group pouring money into the 2010 midterm elections, appears to be violating campaign finance law, watchdog groups said in a complaint filed today with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The FEC should investigate whether American Future Fund must register as a political committee for its huge expenditures in the election, making the group subject to recordkeeping, reporting and disclosure requirements, Public Citizen, Protect Our Elections and the Center for Media and Democracy said in the complaint, available at: http://bit.ly/dA0LmP [Read more]

Handicapping Picks for 01/14/2012
What did we learn from Friday's races? Simon Callaghan is a beast with those Euro shippers! What a wonderful horseman.
I think the most intriguing race on today's card is the 4th... obviously Mayor Marv isn't the same (Turf Paradise) Derby-winning horse he was last year, as Bob sees fit to drop him yet again. We've seen this gelding regressing in works but if he's still got an ounce of that backclass, he should be able to beat this bunch.
He is vulnerable - and by no means a mortal lock for ShowVivor players - so I'm going to look to 1-Usurp (speed gets class relief for 29% at the meet Machowsky), 4-Square Deal, 3-Afleet Deal (absolutely toss the last), and 8-Slam Slew.
And with the G2 San Fernando usually an upset special, I'm going to look for 6-Spud Spivens to take it over 8-Tapizar (who may simply be the best looking horse in training anywhere in the world right now) and 1-Prayer for Relief
Best of luck an happy handicapping!

In the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) 5-element system, spring corresponds to the Wood element.

Causes of the War of 1812
Tensions between the United States and Great Britain increased during the first decade of the 19th century due to issues involving trade and impressment of American sailors. Battling Napoleon on the Continent, Britain sought to block neutral American trade with France. In addition, the Royal Navy utilized a policy of impressment which saw British warships seize sailors from American merchant vessels. This resulted in incidents such as the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair which were affronts to the United States' national honor. The Americans were further angered by increased Native American attacks on the frontier which they believed the British to be encouraging. As a result, Pres. James Madison asked Congress to declare war in June 1812.
1812: Surprises at Sea & Ineptitude on Land
With the outbreak of war, the United States began mobilizing forces to invade Canada. At sea, the fledgling US Navy quickly won several stunning victories beginning with USS Constitution's defeat of HMS Guerriere on August 19 and Capt. Stephen Decatur's capture of HMS Macedonian on October 25. On land, the Americans intended to strike at several points, but their efforts were soon put in jeopardy when Brig. Gen. William Hull surrendered Detroit to Maj. Gen. Isaac Brock and Tecumseh in August. Elsewhere, General Henry Dearborn remained idle at Albany, NY rather than march north. On the Niagara front, Maj. Gen. Stephen van Rensselaer attempted an offensive but was defeated at the Battle of Queenston Heights.
1813: Success on Lake Erie, Failure Elsewhere
The second year of war saw American fortunes around Lake Erie improve. Building a fleet at Erie, PA, Master Commandant Oliver H. Perry defeated a British squadron at the Battle of Lake Erie on September 13. This victory allowed Maj. Gen. William Henry Harrison's army to retake Detroit and defeat British forces at the Battle of the Thames. To the east, American troops successfully attacked York, ON and crossed the Niagara River. This advance was checked at Stoney Creek and Beaver Dams in June and American forces withdrew by year's end. Efforts to capture Montreal via the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain also failed following defeats at the Chateauguay River and Crysler's Farm.
1814: Advances in the North & A Capital Burned
Having endured a succession of ineffective commanders, American forces on the Niagara received capable leadership in 1814 with the appointment of Maj. Gen. Jacob Brown and Brig. Gen. Winfield Scott. Entering Canada, Scott won the Battle of Chippawa on July 5, before both he and Brown were wounded at Lundy's Lane later that month. To the east, British forces entered New York but were forced to retreat after the American naval victory at Plattsburgh on September 11. Having defeated Napoleon, the British dispatched forces to attack the East Coast. Led by VAdm. Alexander Cochrane and Maj. Gen. Robert Ross, the British entered the Chesapeake Bay and burned Washington DC before being turned back at Baltimore by Fort McHenry.
1815: New Orleans & Peace
With Britain beginning to bring the full weight of its military might to bear and with Treasury near empty, the Madison Administration began peace talks in mid-1814. Meeting at Ghent, Belgium, they ultimately produced a treaty which addressed few of the issues that had led to the war. With the conflict at a military stalemate and the reemergence of Napoleon, the British were happy to agree to a return to status quo ante bellum and the Treaty of Ghent was signed December 24, 1814. Unaware that peace had been concluded, a British invasion force led by Maj. Gen. Edward Pakenham prepared to attack New Orleans. Opposed by Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson, the British were defeated at the Battle of New Orleans on January 8.

Alright so I was going to check my fantasy scores when I came upon this. Key in on the links pertaining to the Dallas-Washington game and you tell me what's wrong.
I mean I'm not one to really call out people or websites/companies for that matter. But how are you going to mess something like that up? We all readily accept their is a media bias towards Cowboys. We also readily accept that the media is a gift and a curse. By curse, I also mean the sheer stupidity (sometimes) and pestilence (all the time). This is not directed towards Yahoo, or any other sports media outlet but just "the media" in general.
I think Dallas fans will agree, they tire of all the media hoopla (yes I said hoopla) that surrounds their team with every little thing they do from the whole. Likewise, I tire of the obvious and sometimes unwarranted attention that Dallas gets. Once more, Cowboy fans, this isn't a shot at the fans nor the Cowboys really. I think the Cowboys are good and will make some noise in the playoffs. But I distaste when week to week there is a Cowboy update and many times a preemptive crowning of their team as the best. I know judging biases are relative to each and every person; some fans will argue that Joe Buck doesn't hate Philly (lol). But with so much coverage and conversation of the same organization week in and out, don't you think it's a little...well... biased?
More importantly, when you are a media outlet that has a lot of traffic, shouldn't you present correct and concise information. That said, Yahoo, how are you going to crown the Cowboys before there is even a week 17 showdown with the Eagles? C'mon Man!

Motorcyclists rumbled through the panhandle today all for a good cause with the 'Make A Wish' foundation.
The Scottsbluff-Gering Eagle Riders hosted a benefit memorial for 'Make A Wish' foundation in honor of Michael Todd of Scottsbluff.
Michael died earlier this year at the age of 28.
Friends say Michael became a wish giver at the age of five for the foundation.
Today, bikers stopped in Bridgeport, Sidney, Kimball and Gering to fulfill Michael's wish; raising money for one family who helped him when he was younger.
"The young man died at a young age, 28 years old," said biker Lance Cline. "Just passed away this year and we're just paying it forward. That's what he pretty much just wanted to do was give a wish to somebody else. We're doing this for Michael Todd."
Michael's family came to the memorial event from Colorado.
"People have all come together in memory of Michael." Says his mother Linda Todd. "We are just absolutely elated about this event."
Friends and family say Michael was a huge Husker fan who also enjoyed shooting pool and karaoke.

One of the most stressful parts of hosting a large dinner party is figuring out how to time everything so all the food arrives at the table piping-hot and at its prime.
This is especially true of Thanksgiving — the dinner party to end all dinner parties! Getting everything timed right is a crazy juggling act, even if you make good use of the turkey resting time (that 30-minute period between when the turkey comes out of the oven and when it is ready to be carved) to finish prepping the other dishes.
Traditional mashed potatoes pose a special problem. You can try making them ahead of time, then reheating them at the last minute, but then they tend to taste stale. Theoretically, you can make them from scratch as the clock ticks down, but good luck pulling that rabbit out of a hat while you're simultaneously whipping up a pan gravy and finishing off your sides in a kitchen full of hovering relatives.
Here's my solution — cook and mash the potatoes without any seasonings or dairy the day before, then pop them in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve them, nuke them and add the dairy at the last minute.
Why does this work? Because it's the reheated butter and milk or cream that causes the off flavors. Leave those out until the potatoes are already reheated, and you're good to go.
Which potato to use when making mashed potatoes? Once upon a time, there was only one answer: the russet, widely known as the "baking potato," the most famous of which is the Idaho. It is high in starch and gets fluffy when cooked. In recent years, though, some folks have begun to swear by the Yukon gold, a medium-starch spud with a buttery hue.

Pakistan is the unfortunate heir of misconception. Often in the news for war and violence, very few people know of Pakistan's internal beauty, flanked by some of Asia's most astonishing landscapes, and an unwavering generosity. Travelers booking flights to Pakistan are heading to a country rich in culture, history and hospitality.
With Hinduism and Buddhism firmly planted in Pakistan, the pleasures of Pakistan are evident and ancient. Immediately upon leaving the Pakistan flight, tourists come across Buddhist shrines, Hindu temples, Islamic palaces and Muslim mansions. While Pakistan is a hospitable destination, it's wise for tourists to know the basic Pakistani laws. For example, dress codes are strictly enforced in the country. Long and loose clothing is common and any tourist visiting mosques or temples must be completely covered before entering.
While it's possible to find cheap flights to Pakistan and plan budget-conscious tours though the country, tourists are advised to pay special attention to travel warnings. Pakistani people are involved in various political demonstrations currently sweeping through the Middle East. Recent violence in Karachi, Islamabad, and Peshawar has resulted in chaos, and travelers are advised to stay with group tours and not travel off by themselves.

The pick of the FA Cup's fourth round fixtures is upon us - Manchester United travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool. Unlike today's other racist abuse derby, the two players involved aren't both on the pitch. Luis Suarez is suspended, but suspect some lusty booing to be directed towards Patrice Evra as he takes the pitch. Oh, and there's some sort of football match happening too, or so I hear.
Liverpool starting lineup (5-4-1): Pepe Reina; Jose Enrique, Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel, Jamie Carragher, Martin Kelly; Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson, Steven Gerrard, Maxi Rodriguez; Andy Carroll.
Substitutes from: Doni, Glen Johnson, Sebastian Coates, Dirk Kuyt, Charlie Adam, Jonjo Shelvey, Craig Bellamy.
Manchester United starting lineup (4-5-1): David de Gea; Patrice Evra, Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling, Rafael da Silva; Park Ji-Sung, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia; Danny Welbeck.
Substitutes from: Anders Lindegaard, Rio Ferdinand, Dimitar Berbatov, Fabio da Silva, Javier Hernandez, Michael Keane, Paul Pogba.

"That is a good idea, but it is a new one, and we fear it, so we must reject it." - Lothar of the Hill People
There are few things on heaven and earth that I am an expert on, and I will not suppose that health care is one of them. However, since the rest of the country seems to be weighing in on the subject with much the same credentials, I figured the time is right.
Perhaps this is no true coincidence, falling squarely on the day we all take a break from our work to go buy mattresses: Labor Day. National health spending is expected to reach two and a half trillion dollars in 2009, accounting for seventeen point six percent of the gross domestic product. Here are some more fun figures: Sixty-two percent of all bankruptcies filed in 2007 were linked to medical expenses. About one and a half million families lose their homes to foreclosure every year due to unaffordable medical costs.
Anecdotally, the company that I used to work for, an employee-owned corporation, had one of the most incredible health care and benefits package you can imagine. They would pay for your gym membership. They paid for acupuncture. They paid for substance abuse and rehab programs for a number of our employees. They picked up the tab for my son when he was born. We even got cookies every Friday. It was awesome. Now they're gone.
It would be simplistic to say that the cost of those Friday brownies and gym memberships were the only thing that did us in. But I know that, as my teachers' union continues to negotiate a new contract, the cost of health insurance is right at the top of the pile. Just as it is with just about every labor negotiation for the past twenty years.
Back when I owned a corporation, or a part of it, there seemed to be an obvious connection between the relative health and happiness of the employees and the bottom line of the company. Sick and injured employees aren't as productive as the healthy ones. Keeping them healthy is just getting too darn expensive.
Like many of our legislators, I have not read the entire health care bill, and even if I did I suspect that I would still need a certain amount of clarification and tutelage before I felt comfortable saying that this is the solution to all of our problems. But I don't think that I would feel comfortable crossing my arms and holding my breath and hoping that the whole mess would go away. I understand the reticence of some who would rather not pay for other's tumors. I can remember grumbling about the second time we all had to pony up and pay for one guy's second trip through rehab. I can also remember the relief I felt when I got food poisoning and had to go to the emergency room for rehydration after consuming "the last piece of lasagna." It's good to know that when you fall, there's somebody there to help you back up. America's Health Care System is broken. We need to fix it before the "death panel" shows up and pulls the plug on all of us.

You say you have a developer certificate. It is always restricted to a couple devices. However in this case you would get a "Constrained by the certificate" message.
if you have a developer certificate, it is only valid for the devices which IMEIs are included in it. So do check that the device you are trying to use is included in the certificate.

All Friday night, people stocked up on winter essentials at local grocery stores as the forecast calls for a dangerous winter storm.At Kroger at East 71st Street and Binford Boulevard, customers formed long lines in the aisles, waiting to check out with their groceries.It was the calm before the storm, if long checkout lines and empty shelves were your idea of calm."We trying to get it done now and it looks like everybody else wanted to do it too," said Charles Scott.
Scott usually drives a semi-truck during the week, but Friday he was driving a grocery cart down the aisles of Kroger, stocking up before Sunday's storm hits."We have milk, eggs, cheese, bread, fish, chicken, all the staples," said Scott. "You really should have everything you need and be inside. If you look around, all you had to do is go through the store and look at the meat counter, all the meat's gone."
"We actually came into get some meat for some taco salad and we came and this is the last meat left," said Kendra Edwards, showing a package of ground chuck.Edwards said she was in town to visit her sister and headed back to Memphis Saturday morning, ahead of the storm."I can't wait to get out of here," said Edwards.She may be missing Sunday's storm, but she found herself right in the middle of the shopping rush because of it. "I think it's crazy," said Edwards of all the people out shopping. "Oh my gosh, no more bottled water! It's really going down in Indiana. Wow."That's what the weather forecasts certainly have indicated. "I'll be gone," said Edwards, sighing relief.Charles Scott won't be, though. He'll just be staying inside with all of his groceries."I will be hibernating, thank you," said Scott, laughing.

Goodguys rolls into town this weekend
Original post made on Mar 29, 2008
Area gearheads and car lovers can partake in the largest two-day automotive event, featuring indoor and outdoor car shows with over 3,500 hot rods, custom cars, classics, trucks, muscle cars and street machines of all years, makes and models.

How come we can shut down Main Street for a parade of guys in skirts or chiropractors in tents, but folks proud of their hot rods are stuck at the fairgrounds? Wouldn't the owners showing their cars buy dinner on Main Street and lots of folks who wouldn't pay $15 admission and $8 parking would get to see them too?
Let's bring the classics & hot rods back to Main Street!!

"Guys in skirts and chiropractors in tents". WHOA! What have I been missing!!! I gotta get downtown more often!!!
Those Goodguys have some neat vehicles. When they were here last year I saw '32 Ford Sedan almost like the one I had as a teenager many years ago. Brought back fond memories of a carefree time that I probably shouldn't have survived......

I thought the hot rods no longer have Cruise Night on Main Street because the event got too big.

Very cool and extremely rare yearbook for the First Torpedo Boat Flotilla. The Wiemar navy at this time was very small and Germany was still heavily restricted in the size of its navy by the Versailles treaty. As many navies have figured out, it was quickly seen that with smaller torpedo boats it was possible to pack a lot of offensive punch into a small craft. This is a similar theory to the American PT boats...

No doubt the story of this famous naval personality was used as propaganda to encourage the German populace in their war effort. Von Mucke was famous for his impressive success in commerce raiding and quickly became a national hero. Obviously this book is written in German...

The sculpture was the idea of Mrs C Helen Plane who was part of the United Daughter of the Confederacy. They commissioned Gutzon Borglum to do the carving which he started it but then abandoned the project in 1923 to go carve Mt Rushmore. Augustus Lukeman continued until 1928 in which it went dormant for the next 30 yrs. In 1964 Walker Hancock began to carve again and in 1972 Roy Faulkner...Jump to full entry

A rare look into an historic past - Sunday, April 26 In 1864 General William T.

Standing in his path were the small town of Madison, Georgia and the larger city of Savannah. Sherman spared them both. Despite all the southern whining on the subject, Sherman liked the south and was their friend.

Our destination was Stone Mountain on the other side of Atlanta. The drive was short, and like most mountains this one was easy to find.

Separate juries will decide the fate of Andrew Lee Payne, who was 24 when his stepson died, and the boy's mother, Davia Damanique James, who was 22 at the time.
The toddler died of brain injuries Nov. 11, 2011 after being rushed to a hospital with a fractured skull, punctured lung, collapsed spine and lacerated liver and kidney.
James was originally booked on suspicion of child neglect because she failed to report the injuries or seek medical care for her son for more than two days after he was injured. Payne was booked on suspicion of felony child abuse. Murder charges were filed after the boy died.

The bodies of two foxes have been found on display near Epsom town centre, sparking fears that someone has started culling them.
The carcasses were discovered lying side by side behind a pay machine at a car park on West Hill on Sunday, December 18.
Liam Farrell, from Epsom, who was horrified to see them them there that evening said: ". Someone has murdered two foxes and left them for everyone to see. Looks like they have been shot in the head both of them. They had been laid out directly behind the machine. They appeared to be two very healthy foxes so I can only assume they had been poisoned or shot somehow."
Epsom and Ewell Council confirmed that its street cleansing team removed the dead foxes the following day but thought the foxes were 'more likely' to have been run over.
The incident comes just in the wake of a passionate debate on whether foxes should be culled following the death of a kitten in Ewell Court in a suspected fox attack.
A third of those who have taken part in a poll on epsomguardian.co.uk said they were in favour of culling foxes. It is illegal to poison a fox as no chemical is currently approved by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and to shoot a fox with an air rifle or a BB gun is also illegal under animal cruelty laws.
However it is legal to shoot a fox with a rifle, provided you have a firearms licence and permission from the land owner, but in built-up areas strict restrictions apply subject to the local authority and police. A spokesperson for The British Association for Shooting and Conservation said: "It would be pretty obvious if they had been shot.
"If it's an urban setting then it's most likely that someone has trapped these foxes, killed them and deliberately placed them there.
"That's something we would condemn as not being best practice at all.
"Every fox that is killed should be disposed of humanely and properly and there are various laws concerning the disposal of carcasses."

Kraft Food Groups is recalling more than 7,000 cases of cheese.
JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Prescription drug abuse and overdoses have risen by almost 400 percent since 1990, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Middle-aged women are now the most common prescription drug addicts.
"Unfortunately, prescription drug abuse has really reached epidemic proportions nationally, regionally and locally," said Dr. Shane Speights with St. Bernards Medical Center.
Dr. Speights said there are patients who legitimately need prescription pills for chronic pain, but those are few and far between compared to the number of addicts abusing them.
"These are great drugs and they do a good job of controlling pain, but there's also a high potential for these to be abused," Speights said.
Dr. Speights said many of these abusers do not realize there are multiple drugs in one pill. He said the painkiller could quickly become the killer.
"You may be taking two, three, four, five times the amount of Tylenol that you should be taking and not even know it," Speights said. "That can be severely damaging to your liver and the rest of your body."
CDC data shows 20 percent of prescription painkillers come from doctors. The remaining 80 percent comes from illegal street purchases, stealing, but mostly from friends or relatives who give their medications away for free.
"When a physician or provider writes a prescription for an individual, it's specifically for that person, based on age, health conditions, sometimes weight," Speights said. "It was not intended for someone else so it's really dangerous to start taking someone else's medications."
Dr. Speights said these patients should instead lockup their prescriptions and doctors could do a better job of policing their prescriptions.
"Do they really need this much pain medication, should they be taking this many at one time, do they really need three to four refills to where they can actually get 60, 90, 120 pills at once?," Speights said.
There are some safety measures to stop the spread of prescriptions painkillers. For example, if someone tries to copy a prescription, the copier prints a duplicate is covered in "void."
However, this still does not stop what Dr. Speights calls "doctor shoppers."
"They're getting two and three prescriptions for pain medications from multiple doctors," Speights said.
However, doctors are starting to catch on to them with the help of the Arkansas Prescription Monitoring Program, a state database that tracks patients and their prescriptions.
Dr. Speights hopes prescription painkiller abuse decreases as more doctors start monitoring this site on a regular basis.

The Whitworth Pirates are a perfect 4-0 on the season and will open the conference portion of their schedule this Saturday against Pacific.
The Bucs pulled out a 17-14 win over Chapman over the weekend. They credit their wins to working together as one unit – no matter who is on the field.
"We're thin right now but at the same time we have guys stepping up making plays, plenty of capably guys back there," said defensive back Paul Miller. "So, it's just a matter of them getting used to the speed and then just being comfortable making plays like they know how to."
"Especially with losing some players and other kids having to step up – we have two guys out here who really haven't had any playing time at all," said coach John Tully.
Saturday's conference-opener against Pacific will be in Forest Grove, Ore. at 1 p.m.

I have just bought a Nokia 6288 whose default clock numbers are too small for me to see without glasses. My old LG U8120 clock was very easy to see on the front and main screens.
One of the themes that came with the Nokia had clock numbers that were of a good size, but the font used was an outline font that made it still difficult to read.
How do I increase the size of the clock numbers and also put in a font that suits me?
Thanks. I have Nokia S40 Theme Studio 2.2 and the PC Suite.

Ovum's Telecoms In 2011 report predicts that Windows Phone 7 will be the fastest-growing smartphone OS. According to the site V3.co.uk, Ovum analyst Tony Cripps said the smartphone platform will grow quickly because of its "unique and very desirable take on the smartphone user interface". He added,
"Microsoft is finally managing to harness the evident design and user experience nous of its Xbox, Zune and Windows Live teams to create a proposition that is more than the sum of its parts."Of course, given that Windows Phone 7 has a miniscule market share, it's easy for it to be the fastest-growing smartphone OS; compared to the iPhone and Android phones, not many Windows Phone 7 devices have to sell to show a growth surge in terms of percentages.
Still, Ovum isn't the only analyst firm to believe that Windows Phone 7 sales will surge. IHS says that Windows Phone 7 will knock the iPhone from its number two spot in smartphones by 2015, jumping to 16.7% market share, squeaking by iOS at 16.6% and well behind Android's 58.1%.
Ovum also says that developers will start to flock to Windows Phone 7 this year. The company's recently released developer survey says that Windows Phone 7 will gain significant developer interest this year. Adam Leach, leader of Ovum's Devices & Platforms Practice, writes:
"The growing momentum behind Windows Phone indicates that Microsoft has managed to convince developers that its platform is worthy of investment; its challenge now is to persuade consumers."Keep in mind, though, that the report concludes that Android will become the most important platform for developers, and there's no evidence that Windows Phone 7 will come close to either Android or iOS when it comes to developer mind share.
If analysts are to be believed, it appears Microsoft is on track for Windows Phone 7 to become a serious alternative to iOS and Android. Given that Windows sales have falling over the last several years, it's vital for Microsoft that its smartphone OS succeed. It may well be that the company may be on track to make that happen.

The Dying Cowboy.
As I wandered down the lane one morning,
As I passed by the bar-room one morning in May,
It was there I spied a handsome young cow-boy
All robed in white linen prepared for his grave.
Go beat the drum slowly
And play the fife lowly,
And sing the death march as they carry me on.
Then take me to the grave yard
And place the sod o 'er me,
For I'm a young cowboy
And I know I've done wrong.
It was once in the saddly I used to be dashing.
It was once in he saddle I used to be gay
I first took to drinking and then to card playing
Was shot through the body ; so now In must die.
Go, call around me a crowd of young cowboys,
And tell them the story of their comrade so dear;
Then tell them another befor they go farther
To stop their wild roaming before it's too late.
Go write me a letter to my gray headed Mother
And break the news gently to sister so dear.
Then there is another that's dearer than Mother
Who'll weep bitter tears when she finds I am gone.
Some one go get me a cup of cold water,
A cup of cold water the poor fellow said.
But when I returned,his soul had departed
And gone to his Maker; the cowboy was dead.

Sex case jail warning
Updated 1:46pm Monday 13th January 2014 in News
A MAN who had more than 1,000 indecent images of children stored on his computer has been warned he could face jail.
Lee Groves was also found to be in possession of hundreds of pictures of extreme pornography when he was arrested two years ago.
The 52-year-old, of Upham Road, admitted nine counts of making and one of possessing indecent images of children and one of extreme pornography.
The court heard he had 1,368 pictures of children, accrued between 2006 and 2011, and 207 of adults engaging in sex acts with animals.
Stephen Leeke, defending, asked for the case to be put off so the probation service could compile a pre-sentence report on his client.
Judge Douglas Field, at Swindon Crown Court, adjourned the case to January 31 and released him on conditional bail .
He said: "The fact that you are being granted bail is not any indication of the final outcome of your case."

-- — The co-author of a failed bill that would have cut off cash assistance to welfare recipients who fail drug tests is working to revive the legislation in the next session.
Rep. Jud McMillin, a Brookville Republican, said he wants to re-introduce legislation that would require the state's Family and Social Services Agency to develop a drug-screening program for adults receiving cash payments through a program known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
The bill, which passed the House but was blocked in the Senate in the last session, was opposed by FSSA officials who questioned whether it was cost-effective or constitutional.
But McMillin, an attorney, believes there may be growing support for the proposal, and he's convinced that a bill can be drafted in a way that will stand up to a court challenge.
"The legislation is not punitive," McMillin said. "We're not looking to harm anybody who fails a drug test. This is about creating incentives for people to make good decisions."
The legislation wouldn't automatically cut off cash-assistance to TANF recipients who failed the drug test, but it would compel them to seek treatment to continue on the program.
McMillin and other supporters of the bill came under fire during the last session for proposing legislation tying drug-testing to welfare assistance. At one point during the session, opponents of the bill attached an amendment that would have required drug-testing for legislators.
But the bill earned some bipartisan support while it was alive. One of the earlier "yes" votes on the bill came from Rep. Scott Pelath, a Democrat from Michigan City. Pelath said his experience working for a mental health center influenced his vote. He said drug addicts have difficulty making good decisions. "To get people into treatment, some coercion may be needed," he said at the time.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs have completed a third of the 2010 season. Our record is 2-2 (1-2 in SEC), but as a team how are we really doing compared to last year? At this point last year our record was also 2-2 (1-2 in SEC). Considering the offense has almost always been our weak point, I tend to believe that is what most Bulldog fans wonder about. How do our passing and rushing stats stack up against where we were after four games last year?
Keeping in mind that we had a monster named Anthony Dixon as our workhorse last year, it's not a real big surprise that last years net rushing yards are ahead of this years. In 2009 at this point the Bulldogs had already racked up 816 yards in net rushing. After Saturday nights game against Georgia, so far we've gotten 632 yards net rushing. Once again keeping Anthony Dixon in mind, you would think that we probably have less rushing TD's this year than we'd had at this point last year. If you believe that, you're mistaken. We've already had 6 rushing TD's so far in 2010, exactly the same number we had after four games last year.
Tyson Lee and Chris Relf shared quarterback duties last year and by the end of that heartbreaking loss to LSU they'd put up 606 yards through the air (the bulk of that coming in that LSU game). It's nice to see that so far in 2010 we've improved on net passing yards. Between Chris Relf and Tyler Russell, the Bulldogs have already posted 765 net passing yards. Together they've thrown 7 TD passes as opposed to 5 TD passes after four games last year. One ugly spot in regards to passing is interceptions. So far Relf and Russell have already thrown eight between them. Last year at this point Lee and Relf had only thrown five picks. If you're concerned about fumbles, the news is sort of bittersweet. We've already fumbled the ball eight times this year as opposed to seven by the fourth game last year. However, the good news is out of the eight fumbles this year, only one of them resulted in a turnover. In 2009 the Bulldogs had already lost four fumbles.
Coach Dan Mullen seems to have a more disciplined team in 2010 than he had in 2009. This year the Bulldogs have received 14 yellow hankies for a total of 125 yards. At this time last year it was already double that number with 25 penalties for 291 yards.
What does all of this information mean? For me, I see a lot of improvement. We're still taking steps toward our goal of becoming one of the elite teams in the SEC. Mississippi State could very easily be 3-1 right now had it not been for a number of dropped passes in the Auburn game (one of them being an easy pick six by Corey Broomfield).
Of course the fans share some responsibility of making Davis Wade a difficult place for a visiting team to play. The average attendance at this point last year in Starkville: 53922. The average attendance so far in 2010: 55853. That's a great stat we need to keep going when Alcorn comes to visit this Saturday.

BETHEL, Vt. (AP) - The father of a 12-year-old girl who prosecutors say was sexually assaulted and killed by her uncle says he had seen the suspect's name on Vermont's sex-offender registry in the mid-2000s.
Jim Bennett told the Burlington Free Press he tried in vain to discourage his daughter, Brooke Bennett, from visiting Michael Jacques' home.
Bennett said he found Jacques' name when he was a Bethel constable and received training about sex crimes at the Vermont Police Academy.
Jacques was put on the registry following a 1993 conviction for aggravated sexual assault involving a female coworker at a West Rutland pizza business.
Jacques is expected to plead guilty Tuesday to charges stemming from the 2008 death of Brooke Bennett in exchange for a sentence of life in prison.
