A Look at Our Listeners
Well, we've been collecting Listener Surveys since the show started and even though I've not mentioned them for a while, they've accumulate at a nice pace. So who's listening? What type of folks are interested in Old Time Radio Detectives? A few quick facts:
- Men make up a solid majority of our listeners: Our listener base is 64% Male, but this is quite a bit less than the 71% male listener base over on Dragnet.
- The Audience is well-educated: 60% of the Audience has at least a Bachelor's degree with 29% having post-graduate degrees.
- The Audience is a mix of ages: One would expect that most listeners would be people reliving the days they'd heard radio. While some are, the numbers suggest that there are plenty of younger listeners. 47% of the listeners were under 45 and 96% are under 65. This means we're bringing old time radio to a new generation, as well as a few who are reliving it. This would seem to suggest that there's a future in the past.
- Where in the World: Blubrry tracks where our downloads are coming from. Most (90.6%) come from the U.S. However, our neighbors to the North contribute 6.2% of the downloads, followed by the U.K. at 1.8%, also showing up for downloads this month are Australia, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, and Sweden,
- Popular Shows: The shows rank as follows: 1) Johnny Dollar, 2) Box 13, 3) Jeff Regan, 4) Let George Do it, 5) Sherlock Holmes.
The Big List of Detective Shows
I get asked a lot about what shows we're going to play as replacements in the line up become necessary, so I decided to make a list of the shows I would like to do, the shows I'm not going to do and those I'm not sure about. If there's another detective show that's not on the list, please leave it in the comments or call the show at 208-991-GR8D (4783).
The only shows that I will consider are either American made shows or shows made for American syndication that were produced before February 15, 1972.

Our New #1 Show
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar has overtaken Sherlock Holmes as the most downloaded show on our podcast. Here are the current standings:
1) Yours Truly Johnny Dollar
2) Box 13
3) Pat Novak for Hire
4) Sherlock Holmes
5) Let George Do It
Who in the World: November 2009
Last month, we took a look at who downloaded the pilot episode. 6 out of 7 downloads originated in the U.S. and 6.3% came from Canada.
Now after a whole month, our downloads are up significantly. The first episode of the month (an episode of Box 13) has been downloaded 1,254 times with the first episode of Sherlock Holmes uploaded 3 days laters garnering another 103 downloads, for a total of 1357. This makes Great Detectives about 1/3 as Popular as the Old Time Dragnet show, and after only 5 weeks of existence.
Our downloads have risen, and so have the percentage of downloads coming from outside the U.S. At this point, 76.4% of our downloads are from the U.S. as opposed to 86.1%. The big surprise this month is which country has emerged as a clear #2 in downloads: Germany.
Yep, 15.3% of downloads come from Germany, more than four times the percentage of Canadians who are listening. In addition to the U.K., France, and Australia, which are shown on the graph, we also got downloads from the Netherlands, China, South Korea, and Switzerland.
Other findings:
- The percentage of downloads from Itunes was down significantly as Itunes downloads only accounted for 61% of the total number of downloads in November v. 86% of October. Zune (16.4%) and Juice (16.3%) accounted for the bulk of other downloads.
- In terms of which show is the most popular, the answer seems to be "elementary." Over time, Sherlock Holmes seems to outdraw all other shows. Every week's shows that have been in circulation for three weeks shows Sherlock Holmes the preferred choice. Yours Truly Johnny Dollar is second. The battle for third and fourth is neck and neck between Box 13 and Pat Novak with Box 13 having the edge. Finishing 5th is let George Do It. The differences between the shows aren't hugely significant and may be partly explained by when people download shows. Being stuck in the middle of the Week as Let George Do It is may be a fairly significant challenge.
Show Popularity Ranking
Here's a ranking of which shows are most popular based on downloads of the first episode, one week after release:
1) Pat Novak for Hire
2) Box 13
3) Yours Truly Johnny Dollar
4) Sherlock Holmes
5) Let George Do It

Milan Fashion Week: Bottega Veneta S/S 09
Someone had to do pared-back minimalism during this (ongoing) economic downturn and it happened to be Tomas Maier at Bottega Veneta who did. Most of the collection was made up of no-fuss dresses albeit with plenty of volume and attention-to-detail (which created garments that looked like they had been sculpted from clay), while only a few lonely separates managed to make their way down the catwalk. However, just because there was a "no muss, no fuss" approach, didn't mean total luxury was forsaken: luxe fabrics and handcrafted leather reeked of extravagance, although Maier told Style.com backstage: "It's not a time to be ostentatious with clothes". Pumpkin orange, mustard, terracotta, grey and lemon made up the spring/summer '09 colour chart while the metallic signature woven bags were just as glam as ever.

As investigators learn more about the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings and what Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan allegedly did, the initial theory is that "these two young men were working on their own," NPR's Dina Temple-Raston said Tuesday on Morning Edition.
Authorities continue to question 19-year-old Dzhokhar, who remains hospitalized in serious condition. He's being treated at a Boston hospital for a variety of injuries he sustained during gun battles with police on Friday. It's also possible he tried to kill himself before he was captured Friday evening in the Boston suburb of Watertown, Mass.
Tamerlan, 26, died of injuries he sustained early Friday.
Investigators say they are hearing from Dzhokhar through notes he's writing in response to questions. Other than one comment from the magistrate who presided at his hospital bed arraignment Monday, there's been no indication that Dzhokhar is able to speak more than a word or two at a time. The magistrate reported that Dzhokhar said "no" when asked if he could afford a lawyer.
According to law enforcement sources Dina has spoken with, the information they've gotten from Dzhokhar leads them to suspect — so far — that Tamerlan was the "driving force" behind the bombings at the marathon (which killed three people and wounded more than 200).
The information Dzhokhar has been giving to investigators, Dina added, has them theorizing that the attack was "in a sense a homegrown plot with a little bit of an international flavor." Tamerlan, who reportedly had grown increasingly interested in an extremist form of Islam in recent years, traveled to Russia at least once. The family has Chechen roots.
CNN says investigators also believe the brothers were influenced by things they read on the Internet, and may have learned about bomb-making there as well.
An important reminder: The investigation is still in its early stages. Authorities will uncover much more evidence. The picture of what led the brothers to allegedly plant bombs at the marathon and then, allegedly, kill an MIT police officer and engage in a harrowing gun battle with authorities, could change substantially.
We'll be following Tuesday's developments and will update as news comes in.
Meanwhile, here are some of the morning's related headlines:
— If Convicted, Tsarnaev Could Face Death Penalty. (The Washington Post)
— "Bedside Transcript Of Boston Bombing Suspect Hearing." (The Boston Globe)
— "Officials Say They Had No Authority To Watch Older Suspect." (The New York Times, which limits the number of stories that can be read for free.)
Note: As happens when stories such as this are developing, there will likely be reports that turn out to be mistaken. We will focus on news being reported by NPR, other news outlets with expertise, and statements from authorities who are in a position to know what's going on. And if some of that information turns out to be wrong, we'll update.

Hot Box Grill reviews from OpenTable diners
- DisappointmentSonnyDined on 11/22/2014To expensive for not thing special!!!! Sorry for the poor review however how can you charge $21. for chicken strips on cold corn---// $40. for lamb- this is not Morton's Steak House! I hope this is taken constructively!
- Warning: New Ownership and Not the SameOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/22/2014Not having been to Hot Box Grill in over a year, we decided to return last night. Though the staff was attentive and the new owner quite eager to please, we were extremely disappointed. The limited menu was quite expensive for such a casual restaurant (the special, Filet of Sole was $35). My husbands flat iron steak was tasty but only average. My chicken paillards, were too thin, had too much panko crust and tasted like dry, chicken fingers. Served with a small amount of kale, this was more like an appetizer than an entree, so I ate half of my husband's fries. The best part of the meal was the dessert, a warm bread pudding. We wish the new owner luck, but in such a small town as Sonoma with consistently good restaurants, he will really need to up his game in the kitchen.
- Change is not necessarily bad....UnclbarVIPDined on 11/15/2014We'd been to Hot Box Grill a number of times under the old regime. The new people changed both the kitchen and the front of the house. We found the kitchen's output was every bit as good as the prior regime's--though we did not test the desserts--and the front of the house change seemed pretty good to us. Now, there used to be a s'mores tart in the old days. Bring that back, and watch the crowds flock--though it was quite full when we were there last Saturday, even without the stellar dessert!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hot Box is a great find!theshort1Dined on 11/12/2014Hot Box was recently sold to new owners but it definitely does NOT disappoint. It is small but the food is excellent and so is the service. The "cowboy" steak and the Cornish game hen are just a few of the items you must try! We will be returning on a regular basis.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 3dcjDined on 11/2/2014Service was excellent. Did not find much ambience, very blah. Food was very good. Over priced for a Chicken Entrée. Specials of the day were over priced, i.e., lamb chops. Don't know what came with the lamb chops, but $40 for this entrée????
- need to work things outPandDDined on 11/1/2014although the food was very good, the service was just OK. new ownership needs to tighten up the wait staff and food preparation. side dish came out 5-10 minutes after main course served. although they took the cost of side dish off the bill, went to the inefficiency of the operation at this point. wait staff also needed to apolologize to other patrons about delay in food deliveryI would recommend this to a friend.
- New ownership has ruined the experienceSfdineVIPDined on 11/1/2014Terrible service from the beginning to the end. Food came out at random times--entrees before appetizers and at different times for me and for my husband. It was suppposed to be a special birthday dinner without the kids and it couldn't have been a less impressive meal. Food was of varying temperatures and staff was stressed beyond comprehension. We watched them physically run into each other twice while we were there!! Table rocking for half of the meal before someone finally fixed it. Multiple requests for water and then bread (no food for a long time!!) were met with attitude then delays and then finally, two small pieces of bread and water cups that were never refilled. This place has everything wrong!!!
- DissapointingwcfoodieVIPDined on 10/29/2014The specials were described to us by a host then described again by the server. Trouble was that the description of the fish was completely different depending on who was telling us about it. ordered it only to get a dish that fit neither discription. Turned out that the chef decided to use a sauce that was featured last week but they would take it back if we didn't want it! The food was good, but we were on edge the whole time just wondering what was going to happen next. Can't support this restaurant when there are so many great options in Sonoma.
- PriceyAndreVIPDined on 10/24/2014Over-priced for ambience, quality of food and service.
- Hello Again, Hot Box Grill!JanKVIPDined on 10/24/2014We discovered Hot Box Grill a year ago when we first moved to Sonoma and loved it. The restauarnt has re-opened and is under new ownership. It is as great as ever, if not even better! Daniel has kept most of the original menu (which is a good thing!), has nightly specials, and has an energetic crew working for him. What they lack in polish, they make up for in their energy and exuberance to make your dining experience as wonderful as possible! And the fact that Daniel works the dining room, introducing himself and lending a hand with the service only adds to the dining experience. We're so glad Hot Box Grill is back and we can add to our 'favorites' list!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as expectedfreddyperryDined on 10/23/2014The beet salad was good. My wife had the ribs which were not hot, barely warm. I had the mussels which tasted old. I didn't finish them. Will no go back again!
- Great Potential........MickeyLDined on 10/18/2014We were disappointed in our lamb chop entrée. Extremely fatty! They did not seem prepared for the large crowd. The wine from CLine was excellent.Special Features:
- sonomalisaVIPDined on 10/11/2014This is one of the homiest most pleasant & friendliest neighborhood restaurants in Sonoma- in feel and ambience- great food fresh & wonderfully prepared. We have been coming here since the original opening, and the new owner, Daniel is the most pleasant host imaginable. My favorite is the fried game hen with the BEST hot sauce, slaw and mac & cheese on the side. It is delectably juicy and hot every time-nowhere else in Napa or Sonoma can compare. The crust is to die for Chicken paillard also very good, the devilled eggs are yummy appetizers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- devronVIPDined on 10/10/2014The staff and cooks are trying very hard and the food keeps getting better. It is a reliable good meal that we and our guests consistently enjoy.
- High Marks on EverythingFoodieFoolsDined on 10/10/2014Husband happened upon an ad online for Hot Box Grill .., showcasing an incredible, mouthwatering menu. At 6:30 pm he made the reservation for 7:30 via his handheld device -- all very convenient and easy. I dont know which was better: the food or the staff! We were greeted with wide smiles and seated immediately. Various staff members checked on us every 20 minutes or so. Husband had delicious rack of lamb while I ordered prawns provenciale with rice piloff -- both dishes cooked to perfection. The chef is a gem! No room for dessert but did ask to see the menu. Wide range of tempting desserts offered; hope we can save some room next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great PlaceOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/10/2014This restaurant was wonderful! The food was delicious, and the service was very good. The new owner made a point to come by our table and introduce himself. We will be back...Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/26/2014One waitress for the whole restaurant, after waiting for some time, she brought me the wrong meal.
- What a gem.SueseaQDined on 9/21/2014Daniel has opened the next great Sonoma restaurant. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it is phenomenal. Exceptional food. Cowboy steak perfectly paired with a local red can't be beat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Promising but not quite there yetJJMVDined on 9/21/2014Five weeks after new ownership, Hot Box shows promise with an interesting menu in an unpretentious setting. Service was a bit spotty but adequate and friendly. The owner was trying hard to greet each table. The skirt steak was delicious and tender; chicken paillards crispy as advertised with a nice corn sauce. Deviled eggs as a starter was disappointing (the egg yolk stuffing was rather plain, relying on a sprinkling of bacon and parmesean chips to elevate the dish). To our disappointment, some menu items weren't available. Looks like a simple neighbor diner but much more innovative. Worth trying and watching as it develops.Special Features:
- excellent experience with new ownerdevronVIPDined on 8/29/2014This is a new owner who is trying very, very hard to make everything as good as can be and succeeding quite well. Service is superb, food is the same as prior owner with same suppliers. He is waiting to alter menu, but for now as good as it ever was and that is excellent. We have eaten here several times with a uniformly good experience. No negatives we have seenSpecial Features:
- Comfort food to the next levelyumseekerDined on 8/28/2014Duck-fat french fries did not disappoint. The daily specials lighten up/round out the menu well (enjoyed the roasted carrot soup and frisee salad with quail), but I'm gonna have to try the "Western" Burger with bacon next time. It looked too good to miss.Special Features:
- Ordinary food and long waitBridgeDined on 4/27/2014The erver was verynice but the food was not that good. I had the steak and my oyfriend the burger. We both asked for it to be ccoked medium but it was rare. It was dissapointing because it took an hour to get the entree. They redid them but it was not tasty at all. It lacked spices, salt, pepper. We were on vaaction and looking forward to eating here based on the reviews that we read on the internet but I would not recommend it.Special Features:
- hot box grillOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/11/2014Our party of four had the same entrees which the Cowboy Steak. One couple ordered steak well done and the other ordered medium rare. Unfortunately, our steak was also well done and a huge disappointment. Our waitress asked how our dinner was and we showed her the steak which wasoverly chewy and overcooked for our taste. She returned and said that the chef was very sorry and comped us two deserts. We very much enjoy this restaurant, but I think the chef needs to learn how to do two entrees being cooked differently.
- Chicken promoted to Cornish henMysterheeVIPDined on 4/9/2014If you want an upgrade on your fried chicken, try this little diamond in the ruff. Located off the well-beaten path of Sonoma Square, this 'little box' holds an abundance of flavors. From fish to pasta to the delectable fried Cornish hen, there's nothing fancy going on except the food. The service was attentive and pleasant. If you need a view, choose another spot, but if you wanna eat, need I say more?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steady As It GoesHandsontechDined on 4/2/2014I think this restaurant has been open for a couple of years now. It remains steady with good food, service and ambiance.Special Features:
- Food is awesome - tiny quirksIntoGreatDiningVIPDined on 3/22/2014Hot Box Grill hit it out of the ballpark again. Last time the chicken, this time the melt-in-your-mouth sweet Mahi Mahi on a kale and farro salad. Beautifully, perfectly executed. There was a bit of attitude too. Usually when we ask for something a bit off the menu, our servers act interested and imply that it would be their pleasure to check with the chef if what we asked is possible. In our case all we wanted was a serving of the kale and farro salad as a dish in its own right. Our server seemed bothered by our inquiry. In the end it was fine with chef. We also strongly suggest adding non-carbonated non-alcoholic alternatives to wine. Lemonade, apple juice, iced tea would be fine and shouldn't seem to be a hassle.Special Features:
- Disappointed in SonomaEllieDined on 3/22/2014Not great food...was surprised for Sonoma! Steak was under seasoned and not tender. Appetizer was a chicken wrap, no flavor! Would not go back......
- Great everything butBigfoodogVIPDined on 3/22/2014Our waitress could have been a little more pleasant and friendlySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not greatVdfdfsDined on 3/21/2014We live close by and really wanted to like this place. Most things were good, although key items were off. What we ordered: Duck Fat Fries, Deviled Eggs, Cowboy Steak for 2 and a Boston Cream pie thing.
- Unassuming, but exceptional!atowens67Dined on 2/26/2014The Hot Box Grill is unassuming from the street view, but the food and service were outstanding! A must when in Sonoma. Be sure to try the beet grapefruit salad, duck fat fries and homemade ice cream. Well worth indulging on this night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a Find!BicoastalGirlVIPDined on 2/26/2014There are a lot of great places to eat in the wine country but Hotbox really stands out for fabulous food. It was pouring rain and the night we went and the night's menu was just the right mix of comfort food and more adventurous options. Starting with warm from the oven sweet potato rolls we had a great meal. The tuna tartare timbale was amazing - whatever the spice was, it was addictive. The pot roast with a drop of horseradish creme fraiche served with potato pancakes was lick-your-worthy. My husband raved about his crispy chicken paillard. The weekly ice cream specials are to die for. Spiced coffee the night we were there and I hear next up is bourbon salty carmel. Yum, we will back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing fishtravelconstantlyDined on 2/23/2014Just had dinner - restaurant under new ownership - just reopened last week. Had series of tasty appetizers - deviled eggs, avocado gazpacho, beet salad, padron peppers - delicious, then a fresh caught salmon for main course. Reasonable prices, good portion size - only problem was that we couldn't finish it all!Special Features:
- Food was great. The tuna appetizerLisaDined on 2/22/2014Food was great. The tuna appetizer was amazing and I am already craving more!. We had the flat iron steak and fried Cornish game hen and everything was delicious. The homemade ice cream was also very good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good local foodvacationerDined on 2/15/2014Ribs were great, steak tough, fries could have been thinner cut and more tasty, aoli ok, a bit too much vinegar for my taste. Service great. Ice cream great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We have a new winner!IntoGreatDiningVIPDined on 2/14/2014Quirky and delicious. We have heard wonderful things about Hot Box Grill and decided to treat ourselves for Valentine's Day. It's a small place and in a modest neighborhood not far from the Sonoma Mission Inn. Walk inside and look to the left. The entire wall is one big chalkboard with the day's specials. The menus come clad in retro plastic sleeves. Friendly, willing servers are quick to respond, happy to explain and don't hover. At first the menu seems pretty straightforward, but read the descriptions. The chef/owner's high end restaurant experience turns the common into the exquisite. We each ordered one of the chicken dishes and absolutely loved them. Servings are generous. Wine list is good too. Looking forward to the leftovers.Special Features:
- Good but staleOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 2/14/2014We live nearby and have eaten here every six weeks or so. The core menu repertoire is a great selection of comfort food peppered with some specials on the blackboard wall at the end of the room. All this is good but it'd be nice to see something new. The tasting menu hadn't changed in 6 weeks (big disappointment) and the special main seemed overly familiar. Service is indifferent, and a little variable. Hot Box is a good restaurant but seems to have lost its way in the creativity department.Special Features:
- Great modern comfort foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/14/2014This is a foodies place. The ambiance is okay and the service is pretty good, but the food is the main attraction. Simple, fresh ingredients prepared well. Never had a bad meal here. I recommend the Ahi tuna tartar, the deviled eggs, and brussels sprouts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Danny Welbeck hopes a successful 2013/14 season with Manchester United will help him realise his dream of representing England at next summer's FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The Reds striker once idolised Samba stars Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho as a teenager playing in the street, and having starred for the Three Lions in recent years, is excited to travel to their homeland for the most grandiose tournament in football.
However, two obstacles stand in his way. Firstly, England still need to progress from an increasingly difficult qualifying stage and secondly, the Longsight lad must earn his seat on the plane by excelling for United under new manager David Moyes.
"It is vital that we qualify for Brazil," Danny explains. "It is a stage everyone wants to be at and every footballer wants to be in a World Cup. No one wants to miss out.
"My England career is coming along pretty well and I have coped with the step up in international football. Obviously it helps playing at United, where there is always going to be pressure. But you can't afford to look back. My view is once one game has gone you look to the next one.
"I want to make sure I stake a strong claim to be vying for a striker's role at the World Cup and to do that I know I need to have a good Premier League season first. I need to be playing regularly for United, scoring goals and playing consistently."
As Welbeck acknowledges, scoring goals is absolutely pivotal and having only converted twice during the last campaign, he is more than aware that his tally must improve next term.
But rather than shying away from the matter, perhaps by referencing the fact he played as a winger for much of last season, the United forward is bullish when tackling the issue.

Diverticulitis Symptoms And How To Reverse It
Diverticulitis Symptoms
The complete guide to understanding Diverticulitis symptoms, and diet information that can help reverse and cure Diverticulitis click here.
Understanding Diverticulitis Symptoms.
Diverticulitis symptoms can occurs when one or more diverticula has become inflamed or infected in your digestive tract in your digestive tract . Diverticula symptoms are small, bulging pouches can form anywhere in your digestive system, also including your esophagus, stomach and small intestine. However, the most common place is in the large intestine.
Diverticula is common, and especially if you are over the age of 40. When you have diverticula, the condition is known as diverticulosis. You may never even know you have these pouches because they very seldom cause any problems, such as diverticulitis.
Sometimes, however, diverticulitis symptoms occur, causing severe abdominal pain, this can lead to a fever, or nausea and a noticeable change in your bowel habits. But mild cases of diverticulitis can be treated with rest, click here to find out how changes in your diet will rapidly help or even cure your Diverticulitis symptoms. But serious cases of diverticulitis may require surgery.
In alot of cases, diverticulosis symptoms can manifest unknown due to its mostly slight effects. The condition sometimes can result in constipation, mild cramping, and bloating (distension of the abdomen). Diverticulitis symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the condition.
They include the following:
* Abdominal pain and tenderness (particularly on the lower left side)
* Loss of appetite
* Constipation
* Nausea and vomiting
* Fever
* Bleeding from the rectum (usually microscopic)
* Diarrhea
Diverticulitis may be more severe in younger patients (often due to late diagnosis), in patients who have a compromised immune system, and in patients who have other conditions (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease).
Acute diverticulitis symptoms can cause a number of complications. An abscess is an infected area that can result in swelling, tissue damage, and small tears (perforations) and blockages in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
When an abscess develops, pus from the infection can leak into the abdomen, causing the infection to spread into the abdominal cavity. This condition, called peritonitis, is a medical emergency that requires immediate surgery. Spread of the infection to the bloodstream (sepsis) and shock also can occur.
A fistula can develop when an abscess heals. This condition occurs when infected intestinal tissue comes into contact with nearby organs or tissue and heals into an abnormal passage or connection. The most common type of fistula that develops as a result of diverticulitis occurs between the colon and the bladder and can cause severe urinary tract infections (UTIs). Surgery often is performed to remove the fistula.
In some cases, diverticulitis can result in scarring of the gastrointestinal tract that can cause partial or complete blockages in the tract. Total obstruction would require immediate surgery

MCALLEN - The U.S. Postal Service says the mail processing center in McAllen will stay open. The major announcement is expected to save jobs here in the Valley.
About 100 postal workers are breathing a bit easier Thursday. The workers at the McAllen mail processing and distribution center were worried their jobs would be moved to Corpus Christi. The postal service confirmed Thursday that will not happen.
The McAllen workers were circulating a petition fighting for their jobs. Congressman Ruben Hinojosa got involved and asked the Postal Service not to shut down the McAllen operation.
The USPS spent several months studying the situation. This decision is about more than just the jobs. It means your mail won't have to be shipped through San Antonio or Corpus before it comes to your mailbox. Some had suggested that process would have slowed down deliveries. The Postal Service has seen a 25-percent decrease in First Class Mail in the past six years.
Although the McAllen facility will stay open, the Corpus processing center will close. Mail from the Coastal Bend will be sorted in San Antonio. Congress has to sign off on the changes by this May.

I have a question. I don't live in a good area for radio. I don't listen to it any way. I was wondering if the new songs on the Bad 25 cd got or are getting airplay. I'm not sure. I don't read Billboard either. So what's up with that?
oh, and don't be scared of the floor being plastic. That's what's so cool about Michael Jackson. He dances like the floor is slippery.
Hey baby. I just had this great idea to redecorate your dance studio. So we close off all the windows. Imagine metallic silver paint -- the entire room. Door too. Then, all the walls, floor and ceiling are completely covered in crystals. (it could probably be cut glass). Of course, on the floor there is a plastic cover so you can dance on a flat surface. The mirrors can be where ever you want or need them; they will be perfect in there. DIsco lights. Perfect. What do you think? I say we do it.
So anyways, my nephew Noah (9years old very cute) was at Video Technology camp at the tv station this past week. He and the kids made a video that is going to be on tv in September. Isn't that cool? Anyways, he came home doing a zombie moonwalk and the kids were doing the Thriller dance at camp today. how cute. I'm sure this is happening every where and I love it. muah

What's the Cost?
"What is the cost?" -- the question on the tips of many lips. The costs of a study abroad program depend completely on the program you choose. For some, it could be the same as a semester at IIT, plus flights and, of course, personal travel; for others it could actually be cheaper if the tuition at a partner institution is considerably lower than that of IIT (which can often be the case in Europe).
Costs will also be affected by whether you can bring your current financial aid with you, and this is again dependent on the program you choose. Access to study abroad-specific scholarships can also play a huge role in finances and we can help you try and find one that matches your needs and abilities.
Faculty-Led Programs are regular IIT courses, so regular tuition will apply, dependent on the semester in which your selected program takes place. Sometimes there are additional program-specific fees, which include field trips, etc.
Global E3 and Exchange Programs
You pay IIT tuition for the term you will be abroad. Minor administrative costs may also be required at the host university, much like those that usually would have been paid to IIT. You will pay housing costs directly to the host university, NOT IIT.
Partner University Programs
You pay the host university tuition fees, housing costs and other minor administrative costs. Tuition in Europe or Asia is often considerably less than IIT tuition, though tuition in Australia can be quite comparable.
External Programs
Similar to a partner program, you pay the host university tuition fees, housing costs and other minor administrative costs. However, you will have to do a bit of legwork on your own to be sure you are eligible to apply, and to see if there are additional fees added by the host university for not going through a partner program.
Third Party Provider Programs
Published fees for Third Party Programs can include tuition and fees, housing and meals, field trips/excursions, insurance and occasionally international airfare. Other programs simply list the tuition cost. Make sure that you obtain the complete cost information from your program provider.

¹ These awards are only offered if you have completed FAFSA for the academic year of the study abroad program or exchange program. If you haven't done so already, be sure to work with your parents to complete the FAFSA. Even if you don't typically qualify for federal financial aid, you should still complete the FAFSA. While there are many affordable programs, a study abroad semester may cost a bit more than studying on the IIT campus, which may allow you to qualify for federal aid.
² You must have eligibility in your budget to apply for this loan.
Remember to renew your FAFSA application while abroad (if abroad for the spring semester only).
Financial aid for summer semesters can vary significantly. Check with the Office of Financial Aid to see how your financial aid is set up for summer.
For external and third party provider programs, federal financial aid eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. No IIT institutional scholarships will be applied to these programs.
Check how this affects your package by filling out the Study Abroad Worksheet. For more information, please visit the Financial Aid Office page for study abroad.
Whether or not you qualify for financial aid, there are many study abroad scholarships available for both undergraduate and graduate students.
- Check with your department chair to see if any departmental scholarships exist;
- Search international education scholarship databases, such as IEFA, studyabroad.com, and internationalscholarships.com.
- If applicable, research your Affiliated Program Provider's website, as they too could offer scholarships to their participants.
External scholarships and grants offer an opportunity for students to offset the costs of studying abroad. Some scholarships and grants are highly competitive while others have very early deadlines. Read through the descriptions and websites carefully before you submit an application. If you need help with an application, do not hesitate to come up to the Study Abroad Office for assistance.

Urginea scilla
Botanical Name:
Urginea scilla
Plant Part Used: Bulb, cut into slices, dried and powdered.
Description of
Urginea scilla:
It is a very variable plant, the bulb differing greatly in size and colour, and the leaves of the flower presenting similar varieties, which has led to the formation of several species, about twenty-five species having been described. Two varieties of Squill, termed respectively white and red, are distinguished by druggists. In the first named, the bulb scales are whitish or yellowish in colour, whereas the red species has deep, reddishbrown outer scales and yellowish white inner scales, covered with a pinkish epidermis, intermediate forms also occurring. No essential difference exists in the medicinal properties of the two kinds.
Constituents---The chemical constituents of Squill are three bitter glucosidal substances Scillitoxin, Scillipicrin and Scillin.
Medicinal Uses:
The mediaeval reputation of Squill was originally as a diuretic, the older authorities attributing its diuretic action to a direct stimulant effect upon the kidney.
Squill stimulates the bronchial mucous membrane and is given in bronchitis after subsidence of the acute inflammation. It is generally used in combination with other stimulating expectorants, its effects being thereby increased, and is considered most useful in chronic bronchitis, catarrhal affections and asthma. The tincture is administered combined with other expectorants, especially ipecacuanha and ammonium carbonate. Vinegar, Oxymel and Syrup of Squill are also common constituents of expectorant cough mixtures.
It has also been given as an emetic in whooping-cough and croup, usually combined with ipecacuanha, but as an emetic is considered very uncertain in its action.
In poisonous doses, Squill produces violent inflammation of the gastro-intestinal and genito-urinary tracts, manifested by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pains and purging, and, in addition, dullness, stupour, convulsions, a marked fall in temperature, enfeebled circulation and sometimes death.
The powdered drug and extracts made from it have been largely used as rat poisons and are said to be very efficacious, the red variety being preferred for this purpose, although there would not seem to be sufficient evidence of its superiority

Now add a tablespoon of sherry vinegar, a tablespoon of water and a tablespoon of butter to the pan and swirl it all around until the butter is melted and you've stirred up some of the delicious little bits and drippings from frying the egg. Now drizzle this over your egg in a hole and toss on some chopped parsley and a little fresh ground pepper.
Take a bite. Now you feel like this…
Yes you do. Fancy egg in a hole – we all need one every once in a while!

Sarah DiGregorio is the latest writer to visit Hudson Valley Foie Gras to see if its as bad as animal-rights advocates suggest. Its not, she writes in the Voice today. I was at the farm for five hours, all told. I saw thousands of ducks, but not a drop of duck vomit. I didn't see an animal that was having a hard time breathing or walking, or a duck with a bloodied beak or blown-open esophagus. I did see one dead duck. So if youre not opposed to the notion of ducks being force-fed, continue eating their delicious, fatty livers. And if you are, not even a visit to Hudson Valley Foie Gras will ever change your mind.

At least 12 people killed during overnight clashes in northern Mexico
TAMPICO, MEXICO (BNO NEWS) — At least twelve people were killed on late Monday evening during overnight armed clashes in northern Mexico, officials said.
The deadly clashes involved civilians armed with grenades and AK-47 assault weapons. The violent act took place in the Petrolera neighborhood of Tampico at around 11:00 p.m. local time. Neighbors reported that the armed confrontation took place outside a residence in the area.
Preliminary reports indicate that a group of men traveling on board several vehicles were attacked by gunfire from other individuals. The men got out of their vehicles and took refuge in a residence.
As a result, police forces found dozens of cartridges from the assault weapon and recovered ten bodies. On Tuesday morning, the bodies of a man and a woman were located a few blocks from the shooting place, tied with wire and execution-style gunshots.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the clashes as well as the identities of those involved.

Stunning View & Great Host!
My husband and I stayed at Pau Hana for our 5 year wedding anniversary in 2013. We were greeted by the owner, Carol, upon arrival and she gave us a nice walk around of the guest quarters and offered snorkel gear for us to borrow. The room had simple, but adequate necessities with a bed, TV, microwave, coffee maker, and a beautiful bathroom. Carol also left us some of her coffee to try and it was to die for! The view from our room was absolutely stunning. As the sun rose behind the house, you could see the light dance across the plantation making its way down to the coast. After adventuring all day, my husband and I would come back and take a nap to the sounds of the Hawaii afternoon showers. At night, we would sit out on the deck and stargaze in the clear late night skies. We dream of Pau Hana often and can't wait to go back!

The third grade Our Lady of Mercy Boys Basketball Team got off to a strong start Sunday, Nov. 17, in front of a packed house at the OLM Gym in Hicksville.
The boys took on a tough Saint Killians squad from Farmingdale. Johnny Sullivan led the way on offense, scoring six points for Mercy. Liam Toner did an outstanding job running the offense, and scoring four points of his own. RJ Ivers was tough to defend as he also dropped four points. Nicholas Soliman played great on both sides of the court scoring two points of his own. Evan Glusic hit a clutch freethrow. Joe Sayers played his usual tenacious defense, and hustled on every play. Danny W. was a force on defense, and Lucas Spector, and Tyler B. were also playing great on both sides of the court. It was a great game that ended in a 17-17 tie.This was the boys first ever CYO game, they have been playing in the Our Lady of Mercy Basketball Clinics since kindergarten.

Dear Respected Vaisnavas,
Hare Krishna!
I would like to give you some good news from Turkey. We are now working on our new project in Istanbul. By the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Syamasundara we are opening our "Govinda Istanbul Cafe" in Taksim square, in the heart of the city very soon. At the moment we are renovating our newly rented place. Here are some pictures from our cafe. We plan to make the place running full time for a trial period within 2 weeks and we will do an official opening after a month or so. It is a very happy event for us because we are in many ways limited in our public preaching activities but from now on we will be able to have a public place where we can distribute Sri Krishna prasada!
Please pray for us so that Srila Prabhupada's family will go on developing nicely in the future in Turkey. I will keep you posted about the developments soon.
You are welcome to take part in the happy opening event. You may contact me for further details.
Your humble servant,
Nrsimha Krsna das

The anticipation that has been growing steadily since a drizzly mid-March afternoon at Twickenham can finally cease, as the first chapter of England's enthralling three-Test series against South Africa gets underway tomorrow afternoon in Durban.
Heyneke Meyer's Springboks have a transitional look to them but, even with three debutants in their ranks, they will pose a hugely abrasive challenge to the tourists as they look to banish memories of an underwhelming Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
Thanks largely to the influence of new head coach Stuart Lancaster, England have put last autumn well behind them and, boasting an impressive second-place finish in this year's RBS 6 Nations, are primed to make significant strides on the road to 2015. This fascinating encounter is not to be missed.
When? Saturday, June 9
Where? Kings Park, Durban
Kick-off? 5pm local time, 4pm BST
South Africa
15. Zane Kirchner, 14. JP Pietersen, 13. Frans Steyn, 12. Jean de Villiers (c), 11. Bryan Habana, 10. Morné Steyn, 9. Francois Hougaard; 1. Tendai Mtawarira, 2. Bismarck du Plessis, 3. Jannie du Plessis, 4. Eben Etzebeth, 5. Juandré Kruger, 6. Willem Alberts, 7. Marcell Coetzee, 8. Pierre Spies
Replacements: 16. Adriann Strauss, 17. Coenie Oosthuizen, 18. Flip Van Der Merwe, 19. Keegan Daniel, 20. Ruan Pienaar, 21. Pat Lambie, 22. Wynand Olivier
15. Mike Brown, 14. Chris Ashton, 13. Manu Tuilagi, 12. Brad Barritt, 11. Ben Foden, 10. Owen Farrell, 9. Ben Youngs; 1. Joe Marler, 2. Dylan Hartley, 3. Dan Cole, 4. Mouritz Botha, 5. Geoff Parling, 6. Tom Johnson, 7. Chris Robshaw (c), 8. Ben Morgan
Replacements: 16. Lee Mears, 17. Paul Doran-Jones, 18. Tom Palmer, 19. Phil Dowson, 20. Lee Dickson, 21. Toby Flood, 22. Jonathan Joseph
Morne Steyn v Mike Brown: The hosts will look to settle into the series by employing a regimented kicking game and a fierce, disciplined chase. Steyn, quite simply, is the best in man in the world to implement these tactics. Expect a gratuitous peppering of the touchline and plenty of high-balls, where Mike Brown, having forced his way into the number 15 shirt, lies in wait.
The front row: South Africans love scrummagging – this is one of world rugby's most well-worn clichés. It also happens to be very true and though Meyer has chosen to blood three forwards, his front line has a very familiar feel. 'The Beast' – Tendai Mtawarira – joins Jannie and Bismarck du Plessis – his Sharks clubmates – in a formidable trio who share 104 Tests between them.
On the opposite side of the experience scale, Joe Marler makes a bow on England's loosehead, while Dan Cole and Dylan Hartley continue their burgeoning allegiance. The set-piece will, as always, be pivotal and the battle between these six men will go a long way towards deciding which team wrestles ascendancy in Durban.
A new-look lock combination of Juandre Kruger and Eben Etzebeth is thrust in the South African boiler room and charged with replacing the immortal second-row partnership of Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield. However, after strong starts to the Super 15 campaign for the Blue Bulls and the Stormers respectively, they are unlikely to be perturbed. 21 year-old Sharks flanker Marcell Coetzee also makes his maiden Test start.
Both of England's debutants also earn recognition on the back of continued domestic excellence – Marler honoured for a key role in the capture of the Aviva Premiership with Harlequins and Tom Johnson following another superb season with the Exeter Chiefs. Exciting backline prospect Jonathan Joseph can open his account from the replacements' bench.
Heyneke Meyer (South Africa head coach): "I believe in only two kinds of rugby – the winning kind and the losing kind. We're going to aim to play the first one using traditional South African strengths such as having great, big forwards and skilful backs."
Stuart Lancaster (England head coach): "I've always picked the best possible side to win the game, picked players on form and we'll do that again this time. The players are fresh, ready, looking forward to the game and we'll certainly be giving it our best shot."

Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses? Those shirtwaists aren't going to sew themselves!
I find that an interesting choice of words. Children need to learn how to play? I wonder if the children were from Beacon street the comment would have been, "Children of New England denizens learn to play..."
Was that building a former prison or something similar?

Campaign contributions
Public campaign records tally the following contributions from the Tennessee Walking Horse industry to Tennessee and Kentucky political candidates and from 1989-2014.
Lamar Alexander — $19,799
Rep. Marsha Blackburn — $16,400
Rep. Chuck Fleischmann — $0
Rep. Scott DesJarlais — $0
Sen. Mitch McConnell — $38,800
Source: Sunlight Foundation, OpenSecrets.com
Certainly at this year's 76th annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration special honor should be accorded to Tennessee's congressional delegation — especially Sen. Lamar Alexander and Rep. Marsha Blackburn, Rep. Chuck Fleischmann and Rep. Scott DesJarlais. Kudos also would be in order for Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell. And, yes, there has been something of a pay-off for them — something along the lines of at least $75,000 in campaign contributions over the past 25 years.
All of these Republicans are helping the walking horse industry hold onto a tradition of pain and abuse for a beautiful breed that provided a smooth-gaited, high-stepping ride for aristocrats surveying their plantations.
The abuse, known as "soring," has turned the final days of the walking horse Celebration in Shelbyville, Tenn., into a sadistic parade of horses with over-sized, padded front hooves and a "big lick" gait exaggerated into something akin to a tortured lunge.
Soring techniques include caustic chemicals, chains or pressure shoeing under those tall hoof pads. Those physical injuries make the horses' stretch to keep their legs in the air as long as possible because it hurts when they hit the ground. Michael Blackwell, former dean of veterinary medicine at the University of Tennessee, has likened the "excruciating" pain to biting into something with an abscessed tooth.
By all rights, this abuse shouldn't still be happening. Soring has been illegal under federal law for more than 40 years, but the law is weak and its enforcement is even weaker because there is no funding for it. The result is that the walking horse industry largely polices itself, and problems go unresolved.
There is proposed reform legislation, the Prevent All Soring Tactics Act, that would toughen the law and restore the natural gait of Tennessee's walking horses by banning the pads, chains and soring practices that have corrupted this beautiful breed. The bill, known as the PAST Act, also would end the industry self-policing. The bill, introduced by Republican U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield of Kentucky and Democratic U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, is co-sponsored by 305 other representatives and 57 senators.
That's where our lawmakers come in. Especially Alexander, whose 2014 finance chairman is Stephen Smith, president of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association. In January, Smith said he expected to raise $3 to $4 million for Alexander's re-election campaign.
Our lawmakers and Senate Minority Leader McConnell not only opposed the PAST Act reform legislation, they continue to hold it hostage in committees, even introducing their own decoy legislation.
In April, Alexander, saying he wants to save the $3.2 billion walking horse industry, offered up his softer bill that really would just add a layer to the industry policing itself.
"In baseball, if a player illegally uses steroids, you punish the player – you don't shut down America's national pastime. … Our goal is to find a way to preserve the Tennessee Walking Horse tradition and stop the cruelty to horses," Alexander said.
McConnell is said to be blocking the tougher PAST Act in the Senate where it is three sponsors short of the number needed to overcome a filibuster.
In the House, Blackburn had penned a similar bill, and she keeps the PAST Act bottled up in the House Energy and Commerce Committee, of which she is vice chairwoman. Her bill has only 12 co-sponsors including Republicans Fleischmann and DesJarlais.
Only in the past two years has anyone been federally convicted of the soring abuse, and that happened only after secret videos were made by the Humane Society of the United States and turned over to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Celebration Hall of Fame trainer Jackie McConnell pleaded guilty in Chattanooga to 22 counts of animal cruelty. He agreed to a sentence in 2013 of one year of house arrest and three years' probation, as well as a $75,000 fine. He is prohibited from owning and training horses for 20 years.
Previous fans and exhibitors in the Celebration can't vote in Congress, but they are voting with their feet and their horses' feet. Celebration officials recently announced that 2014 show entries (1,784) are down a whopping 33 percent from 2012. Meanwhile, the all-flatshod WHOA International Walking Horse Show held recently in Murfreesboro had a record 1,913 entries — a 22 percent increase.
The All American Walking Horse Alliance and this editorial page have urged a boycott of the Celebration.
If you're also wondering how to register your disgust with Alexander, Blackburn, Fleischmann and DesJarlais, don't give to their campaigns. And don't vote for them.
If they can't have concern for animals, they probably don't have much for us either.

Managed security service provider market to grow 17.7 percent as SMBs cut IT costs
Cloud enabling companies to outsource security
The UK managed security service provider market is set for substantial growth, according to an analyst report.
Analysts at TechNavio predicted that the UK MSSP market will grow by a compound annual growth rate of 17.7 percent from 2011 to 2015, as SMEs look to cut spending on IT security.
Like many other markets, cloud is impacting on security providers, leading to growth in managed service offerings. This is set to benefit some of the larger ISPs and service provider vendors including Symantec, Hewlett Packard, Orange Business Services, Integralis and Computacenter, the report claims.
According to the report, many of the large MSSP companies are now offering cloud services due to demand from customers for low cost security with easy installation and less maintenance requirements.
This is helping customers lower IT investments, while providing security against increasing threats, with outsourcing becoming more popular. In addition MSSPs often provide security experts for advice on securing against complex threats, allowing customers to focus on their core business

Danielle McGuire arriving at the Melbourne Magistrates Court. Photo: Penny Stephens PKS
A Melbourne magistrate has rebuked Danielle McGuire – the former girlfriend of drug boss Tony Mokbel – for what he deemed her "dummy spit" in his court.
Ms McGuire had just heard magistrate Franz Holzer tell her that if guilty of a charge of handling stolen electrical goods worth about $86,000 he would convict and put her on a community corrections order.
Ms McGuire, whose lawyer had earlier indicated she did not want a sentencing indication, suddenly stood up from her seat in Melbourne Magistrates Court as if to leave before she sat down again.
Mr Holzer told her that there would be "no dummy spit in my court" and when she mumbled some inaudible words he asked: "I beg your pardon?"
He asked Ms McGuire to "just remember where you are" and reminded her there was a process to be followed.
It is alleged Ms McGuire, 41, of Port Melbourne, who appeared at a contest mention hearing, committed the offence at Essendon in September, 2012.
Sergeant Geoff Adams, prosecuting, said in a summary that at the time of the alleged offence Ms McGuire was proprietor and sole controller of the business The Nursery Cafe in Mt Alexander Road, Essendon.
Sergeant Adams said the victim of the alleged offence was a company that imported electrical goods that were supplied to retail chains throughout Australia.
When police searched the premises on September 13, they saw large, hand painted signs at the front of the business advertising "electrical household appliances for sale below cost".
Inside the premises, it was alleged, police found "vast" numbers of electrical goods, that included hair dryers and air conditioners, in boxes and on tables.
Sergeant Adams said a representative of the company identified the goods as from his warehouse.
Defence lawyer Sam Andrianakis said his client's defence centred on her knowledge of the goods which he submitted she was not in control of at the time they were obtained.
Mr Andrianakis told Mr Holzer that his client's fingerprints had not been found on any of the boxes but that those of a prosecution witness who had implicated Ms McGuire had been.
There was also a dispute over who was the managing director of the importation company at the time, he said.
In adjourning the case to a contested hearing in May, Mr Holzer ordered that the prosecution provide particulars of the cost of the goods and a statement from a witness said to have been attached to the company at the time.
Ms McGuire gave birth to Mokbel's daughter in Greece where he had sailed to from Australia after skipping bail during a drug trial in Melbourne.
She was for a time associated with bikie enforcer Toby Mitchell, who has had two attempts on his life.

"Women and girls enslaved to fetish priests in traditional African shrines." When I read those words while living in Ghana in 1999, my feminist, western & anthropological mind clicked on. The following day I read an article defending the practice and calling the women and girls fiasidi, "wives of the god." They said they are the queens of the town and the objectors are Christian missionaries trying to eradicate traditional religion. I had to see for myself.
I went to the town in the Volta Region of Ghana with the most prominent shrines. Following the sandy roads lined with coconut trees to the center of town, I bowed before the the priests and chiefs and asked permission to stay and learn from them. A lot of false information had been published about the traditional religious practice (including reports published in BBC, Marie Claire and a documentary ). Media had obtained access to the shrines through Christian based non-profits supposedly purchasing the freedom of the women and girls and "liberating and rehabilitating" them through Christian counsel. The media stay for a few hours, grab their footage, make their assumptions based on western mindset and go. They were not welcome back. To my surprise, I was granted full access to the shrines, the priests, the women and families. Their only request was that I speak the truth.
That was 14 years ago. In 2005 I returned for four months from a grant from Ohio University Graduate Student Awards where I was getting a masters in Visual Communications. I teamed up with anthropologist Julie Jenkins who specializes in religion, gender and ritual slavery in West Africa. Together we returned this past July commissioned in part by The Revealer – NYU's Journal of Media and Religion. We live in the homes of the wives, drink gin with the priests (often starting at 7:30am), eat with the families and carry water in buckets on our head (sometimes not so successfully). We have unprecedented access to the shrines and aspects of traditional african religion, have established deep friendships and feel very much like this is our second home. I even have a namesake, Romanoff, who was born to my good friend and fixer my first trip.
To see more images and find out if the women are truly slaves of the shrine or queens of the town, view the short multimedia documentary I created in 2005 (with the help of the talented multimedia producer Rob Finch & editor Mike Davis).
A heartfelt akpe (thank you) to the women and families we live and dine with as well as our friends and translators Ojukwu Azemati, Oscar Dudicorff, Francis Fiamavor and father Dale Massiasta (RIP). ***(Atsimene!!)

NASHVILLE — Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron Ramsey's 2002 vote for a 1 cent state sales tax increase as a Tennessee legislator isn't sitting well with voters: 52 percent say they are less likely to vote for him because of that.
But a new Mason-Dixon Polling & Research survey of 625 likely voters indicates most are swallowing Democrat Mike McWherter's ownership of a beer distributorship with far fewer reservations. Only 13 percent said it will make them less likely to vote for the Jackson businessman in November.
The poll, conducted for the Tennessee Newspaper Network, examined various lines of attack used by candidates vying in the Aug. 5 Republican primary and Nov. 2 election. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.
The survey found attacks by Lt. Gov. Ramsey, R-Blountville, and U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp, R-Tenn., on GOP primary front-runner Bill Haslam over a 2008 episode were having some effect.
Forty-six percent of voters said they were less likely to vote for Knoxville Mayor Haslam over allegations of gas-gouging by the Haslam family's Pilot Travel Centers in the wake of Hurricane Ike.
Pilot settled with the state on overcharges at four stations but never admitted deliberate price-gouging.
Similarly, 37 percent of voters were less likely to vote for Rep. Wamp because he voted for the 2008 bank bailout legislation known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.
Candidates answer
Lt. Gov. Ramsey, the state Senate speaker, said there's more to the story of his support for a penny sales tax in 2002 that amounted to the largest tax increase in state history.
He said Republican Gov. Don Sundquist and legislative allies were determined to pass a state income tax. The sales tax became opponents' alternative, he said.
"I'm convinced that with that vote we literally drove the stake through the heart of an income tax forever coming in to the state of Tennessee," he said.
"There's not a soul out there when you explain to people ... who doesn't think we did right on that," he said.
Mr. Haslam said Pilot's problems came out of a "timing error" involving deliveries. He said there were only four problems in 1,500 loads during the time of scarcity. The company installed a new computer program "so it won't happen again," he said.
Tennessee Newspaper Network
The Tennessee Newspaper Network is a collaborative news-gathering venture of the state's four largest newspapers — the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the Knoxville News Sentinel, the Memphis Commercial Appeal and The Tennessean — to provide coverage of the 2010 gubernatorial campaign.
