GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I recently withdrew my children from Hunters Glen for several reasons. 1.) My son's teacher was a portrait of discouragement. She was constantly telling me of all the ways he didn't fit the mold and went into a lengthy tirade to my husband IN FRONT OF MY SON about all the many ways he was failing as a student. 2.) The principal doesn't seem to like children. This is a problem if you are a principal of an elementary school. 3.) Common Core is ruining how kids learn math, and when my son's teacher explained how they now teach math, and even I couldn't understand, I'm not sure what hope there is for my son. We switched over to a charter school that does not teach the Common Core curriculum. 4.) My once-energetic, constantly-happy kindergartner completely lost his sparkle the minute he started at Hunters Glen. The minute we pulled them out, he was back to his happy self. 5.) My kids would cry every morning, beg me not to go to school, and even feign illness to get out of going to school. Now, my kids love school, this is not like them. Again, since we switched them to a charter school, they are happy, excited about learning, and never ever ask me to miss school.
Hunters Glen has been a great school for many years...the last year however have been a struggle. The new principle is nice, but he doesn't seem to connect with anyone, teachers, students or parents. I believe he was brought into the school to increase outcomes and create a cohesive school, which I don't think has happened. While I think both my kids recieved an adequate education and they are prepared for Middle School, I believe the school has gone down hill. Our last teacher was not good and unfortunately created a situation where our whole family couldn't wait to be done with 5th grade. It is really to bad.
Awesome school! Great teachers and staff. We have been in this school for 3 years now and my boys love it. The teaching standards are superb. Both of my boys struggle with reading and writing and they have received excellent assistence from teachers. Highly recommended. Great principal who truly tries to make a difference.
my son loves this school and they have great staff!! we are blessed to attend this one!!
My son is a transfer from out of state. He found the classword difficult and well above that of the Ohio school we transfered from. With help from his teacher and hard work at home he's now on track again. Great school with great staff.
Hunters's Glen Elementary has many opportunities for parent involvement and a very strong PTO. Both the BASE program and the after school activities are excellent. All the teachers my son had were very good. The only down side for us was the very large size of the school. My child felt a a little lost and just managing that many kids is difficult. The lunch room is not large enough to feed so many kids during the lunch hours available.
I loved this school!.. My childhood was given chances and gave me that push to my future. This school has always been my second home and i miss it.
My child is a kindergartner at Hunters Glen. We have had great experiences and interactions with the staff. Good opportunities for parent involvement. Communication with after school program has been a little difficult, but that is my only complaint. The school stresses academic achievement and makes the families feel welcome.
Hunter's Glen Elementary has great focus on academics. Their CSAP scores are some of the best in the district. They also offer before and after school activities such as science club, hockey, wall climbing, knitting, and Typing. They also have a great music program outside of class. Parent's are very involved in this school and they have a great PTO that fundraises well for the school. This is a closed school however, you have to live within the boundaries to go there(currently-it could change.)
Hunter's Glen is a decent school...but much is dependent upon which instructors your child ends up with and your child's learning style. Many classes are still quite large and span the learning abilities from those who are challenged by the basics to those who excel and are easily bored. As with any school, the parents must take a very active role in their child's education if Hunter's Glen is to work for them. A highly recommended aspect of Hunter's Glen is their newly hired music teacher who will likely bring many opportunities and musical challenges to the students. Their physical education teacher is also willing to take time from his schedule to offer several 'mini-camps' for various activities. These opportunities are definitely high points.
This is a great school with very committed teachers. The school focuses on working as a community with the parents' involvement and teachers are very concerned about their students.
Great school with a very involved parent body. Teachers are extremely committed to their kids.
Love this school. Excellent place fro your children. The summer fun program is very fun for the kids. The staff for the program is very friendly. Lisa Hart is a great person to trust with the kids. I think the school is a very clean and welcoming place. I also love the after and before school programs so I dont have to worry when I am going to have to work early or late.
Excellent school considering how large the student body is. Great teachers and staff. Wonderful programs for the children to participate in, especially the Accelerated Reader program. A safe environment for your children to be in. Has a top notch PTO.

Hello Marilyn,
Thank you so much for all the information about Julia. Its very interesting. I have cousins from new Jersey who have been researching the Fought family for many years and I don't think they even had this information. How would we go about getting the information about Julia and her family. I know Jacob Fought had a Mill in Union County. He was a very influential man in the Union County area around Mifflinburg. There is a sign on 45 West that makes mention of the Fought Mill. The Fought family lived on the Western end of Union County. My gg grandparents settled in Hughesville,Pa. in the early 1920's. They owned 2 grain mills in that area. The mill ran from the 20's till it burnt in 1984. If you would like any other information, Just let me know.
Thank you again,

Tuesday, July 21, 2009
Apple Inc., the closest thing the tech industry has to a luxury brand, said Tuesday its profit jumped 15% in the most recent quarter despite the recession. iPhone revenue surged and reduced prices pushed laptop sales higher, even as the rest of the PC industry shrank.
The company, which recently welcomed CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs back from medical leave, said earnings in the quarter that ended June 27 rose to $1.23 billion, or $1.35 per share. Apple's profit was $1.07 billion, or $1.19 per share, in the same period last year.
Sales increased 12% to $8.34 billion from $7.46 billion in the year-ago quarter, which is the third in Apple's fiscal calendar.
Apple beat Wall Street's forecast on both counts, which helped send its stock higher in extended trading. Analysts were expecting Apple to earn $1.17 per share on $8.20 billion in revenue, according to a Thomson Reuters survey.
"In a better economy I think we would have sold even more," Apple Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said in an interview.
Apple said it sold more than 5.2 million iPhones in the quarter, more than seven times what it sold in the 2008 quarter, thanks in part to a newly released version of the device.
Apple also sold 4% more Mac computers than a year ago, with a 13% rise in laptop unit sales offsetting a 10% drop in desktops. Meanwhile, researchers recently reported a 3% to 5% decline for the overall worldwide PC market in the same period.
Apple's decision to cut laptop prices during the quarter helped Apple buck the industry trend, even though the move dragged laptop revenue down 2%. Tim Cook, Apple's chief operating officer, said Mac sales picked up after the company announced the cuts, its first major price reductions in the recession.
Cook said laptop revenue was also hurt as businesses that typically buy more expensive models continued to put off technology spending. Other computer makers, such as Dell Inc., have also said customers are holding on to their existing machines for longer than normal.
The main weak spot was Apple's iPod line. Even though iPod Touch sales more than doubled, total iPod unit sales fell 7% as sales of what Apple considers its traditional MP3 players — iPod Classic, Nano and Shuffle — dropped. Oppenheimer told analysts on a conference call that such declines are to be expected as Apple "cannibalizes" iPod sales by offering similar features on the iPhone — the cheapest of which is now $99, plus a monthly service contract.
Apple's revenue increased in every region, including the U.S. and Europe. Average revenue in each of Apple's retail stores was $5.9 million, lower than the $6.8 million Apple reported at the same time last year.
Shares of Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple jumped $6.52, or 4.3%, to $158.03 in after-hours trading, after slipping 91 cents to close at $151.51.
For the current fourth quarter, Apple said it expects to earn $1.18 to $1.23 per share on $8.7 billion to $8.9 billion in sales. Analysts are looking for a stronger performance — profit of $1.30 per share on revenue of $9.1 billion — but Apple's guidance is typically conservative.

Bacon Grease - Shelf life?
- WhatsEatingYou Jun 5, 2013 07:31 AM
I saved the fat when I fried up some bacon a few weeks ago and have been using pats here and there for eggs and sauteing but am using sparingly since I do not make bacon often. How long can the fat last in the fridge (its in a foil wrapped bowl)? Is it better to just freeze it?
I have a jar that's been around for at least 6 months to a year and it's fine. I just keep it in the fridge. I'd check it when you open, if not rancid it's probably OK
re: julesrules
That's what I do too - I've never had it go rancid.
re: julesrules
Me too! I thought i was the only crazy one.
My mother had a grease can, she kept it on the cooktop and never refrigerated it. She would just dip a spoon in and take what she needed and when frying bacon she would top it up with that batches grease.
None of us got sick, she is going strong at 90. She does not have the can any longer and has quit cooking. I still will save bacon grease and use it to grease cornbread/stick pans, in greens, greenbeans, etc.
Take a look at this chart, http://www.porkbeinspired.com/Nutriti... you will see that pork fat is not as bad as it has been portrayed. It is better for you than butter.
Hi, WEY:
Let your nose be your guide. Purely rendered animal fat takes a *long* time to go rancid, and you will be able to tell. My mom and grandmothers kept their bacongrease in small, speckled enameled steel dip-pots by the stove for months at a time.
Worry not.
PS Storing in the reefer/freezer is not a panacea--there is an exchange of odors that happens--sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Lard can last for a long while especially in refrigerator. I would the bacon grease in a small container and then place it in the refrigerator for long term storage.
I suspect that the salts help to preserve it. I keep mine in a Mason jar in the fridge. I've only been keeping it since November, and I have run out once and broken the jar once.
I wouldn't be comfortable leaving it to sit on the counter, but in the fridge I suspect you will use it up before it spoils. The key is to use it! I use it for frying eggs, searing meat, etc.
I do think you should put it in something with a lid, otherwise like anything it can pick up fridge flavors and get gross.
re: reptilegrrl
I would guess that its longevity would be due to a lack of water. Bacteria and mold cannot grow without moisture.
Bacon grease doesn't go bad. It stays good forever in the fridge, but you can also freeze it.
Like so many, I have never had it go bad on me. I keep most of the fat that renders from what I cook, BUT I keep it in smallish cans and jars. I use them on a first-in-first-out basis and label with the date I started collecting in that container. It's probably more work than needed, but it keeps things fresher than continually adding to a jar that you never get to the bottom of. 2 cents. ;-)
I vacumm seal it in a jar and keep it in the fridge. Been in there over year and does not smell rancid.

Bipartisan group of mayors and judge-executives ask for local option taxing
Republican county judge-executives from northern and western Kentucky joined the mayors of Kentucky's two largest cities to rally Tuesday for local option sales taxes to pay for large projects and for pension reform.
The Metropolitan Alliance for Growth, which includes Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and Lexington Mayor Jim Gray along with judge-executives from urban counties, to highlight a plan for a constitutional amendment that would allow communities to vote to increase the sales tax in their area to pay for a specific project. They're calling the measure LIFT for "Local Investments For Transformation." Once the project is finished, the tax increase goes away.
Currently the Kentucky constitution does not allow for local governments to levy a tax via referendum. Fischer, and the Metro Alliance are making a lap around the state in 2013 seeking to build support for the idea before making a push for legislation. Fischer said that legislation was in the process of being drafted.
Amending the constitution requires the approval by three-fifths of each legislative chamber and the ratification of voters. But it can only be put on the ballot in even-numbered years making 2014 the earliest it could be voted on.
Daviess County Judge Executive Al Mattingly, a Republican, said there is a difference between a tax increased levied by elected officials and one agreed to by the electorate.
"Anyone who would say, 'Yes it's another tax increase,' it is. But it's not a tax increase put on by elected officials. It's a tax increase that is agreed to – agreed to by the very people that would pay that tax increase," he said.
The group also applauded the state Senate for passing a bill aimed at fully funding the state pension system – SB2. And the local officials asked that legislators take a close look at the long-term cost estimates to fully fund the cash balance plan for retirees.

Mariah Carey
You may not think Mariah Carey is ridiculous, but her demands certainly are: she demands gold faucets be installed in her hotel suite before checking in, requires a specific type of mineral water be provided to bathe her and her dog on a daily basis, needs an attendant available to remove her used chewing gum, and also has a crowd of puppies and kittens brought to her rooms.

Purcell is wonderfully responsive to the text, expressively illustrating the elegance of Corinna, whose shape is 'easy' and 'soft her air'. But this paragon of beauty has, to Purcell's author, wasted her charms and 'sullied' her looks, for she 'threw' her own heart away. In the second stanza, lilting in its triple metre, the poet likens her wasting her 'treasure' to exotic Eastern delicacies whose subtle flavours are lost before they can reach our shores – an imaginative way of an author truculantly expressing his jealousy that someone else has proved to be the lucky one!

Tax prospects for 2013November 26,2012In just over a month the 2013 Legislature will convene, and a large question will as usual be where will we get the money to pay for all this?
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding has tasked the agency secretaries to submit General Fund budget requests that maintain current services, and add on any new initiatives separately. Unlike, say, rebuilding the Champlain Bridge, General Fund expenditures just keep rolling on year after year, growing with more people, depreciated dollars, new political demands, and governors thinking up new things to spend tax dollars on. Those agency requests are likely to produce a FY2014 budget gap of $50-70 million
Five years ago Senate President Peter Shumlin, already marching toward the governorship, repeatedly declared We are spending too much, and have used up our tax capacity There is no more money in the bank . We are tapped out.
Since that time Shumlin has nonetheless discovered all sorts of General Fund tax capacity, and proposed or enacted all sorts of new taxes. Heres a partial list: Higher taxes on hospitals, nursing homes, and visiting nurse services; tobacco; electric bills (Efficiency Vermont); health insurance claims; and the $21 million pilfered from the CVPS ratepayers to finance his favorite renewable energy subsidy programs, notably the Clean Energy Development Fund..
This list does not include the $27.5 million penalty tax on the Education Fund, because local voters failed to heed the Governors urging to restrain their school budgets. Nor does it include the two cent increase in both school property taxes, to raise the education money to compensate for the penalty tax.
So the tightfisted Senate leader of 2007 has since found lots more tax capacity, and numerous new ways to spend it, if he can get the bills passed by his hitherto largely compliant Legislature.
There is plenty of pressure to accelerate General Fund spending. The entire Vermont labor movement and their many allies, chanting Put People First, are vocally demanding that state government spend lots more to meet every persons need for health, housing, dignified work, education, food, social security and healthy environment.
This is clearly impossible, but Shumlin himself has committed to single payer Green Mountain Care in 2017.
Reducing state spending, aside from completed Tropical Storm Irene repairs, is not an acceptable option for a liberal majority. So where can Governor No More Tax Capacity go to find the money to fuel all the states obligations and his ambitions?
Raising income taxes on the rich is not a good bet. The Tax Foundation reported last month that Vermont in 2010 had the 13th highest state and local tax burden, a finding that the Shumlin administration concedes is pretty close to the truth. Taxing the incomes of people who make a lot of money is an obvious stimulus for them to make and spend it somewhere else. Also, Shumlin himself has boasted of reducing income tax rates in 1999 and 2009 (in both cases disproportionately benefiting high income taxpayers, although he never mentions that).
The short list of potential new taxes comes down to some form of carbon tax on fossil fuel energy (proposed by Shumlin in 2008), extending the sales and use tax to services (offered earlier this year by Speaker Shap Smith, who is now backing off), and a General Fund penalty tax of up to $276 million on the Education Fund, that translates into higher school property taxes. Green Mountain Care, if and when it happens, will almost certainly require stiff new payroll taxes, so that source cant be tapped now to meet other demands.
Of course the Shumlin administration, staring the facts in the face, could relieve a lot of people by telling them and the union red shirts that 2013 will be the year of Putting Solvency First. That thought brings to mind that popular Buddy Holly song of 1958, Thatll Be the Day .

new page of footloose online!
Regardless, maybe Fructose just prefers to avoid talking about her age at all.
If airquotes denote sarcasm would "airquotes" denote sarcastic sarcasm? Would that just cancel itself out and be a form of sincerity?
Does Fructose use airquotes when she says her age?
each magical girl plays on a specific anime trope- Fructose if all those creepy Loli animes where men fetishise young girls and they always tell you she's 18 so its less supposedly creepy? It's still creepy.
Magical Jailbait Insipid Fructose is "18" for legal reasons. Magical Girl Extreme Makeover Rainbow is "18" for vanity reasons, and will likely remain "18" even when she's married with two kids of her own attending the dojo.
My guess would be she's much older than 18. Somewhere along the line, she realized how little she'd done with her life and adopted a defense mechanism.
shes "18" at least thats what she'll tell you.
I cannot remember and the cast page ish out. How old is Fructose?

Dominant Canadians in first place
Outscore rivals 24-2 in three games to finish ahead of U.S.
OTTAWA -- A pair of Canadian forwards breathed sighs of relief in Canada's 8-0 win over Finland at the women's world hockey championship Friday.
Bailey Bram scored her long-awaited first goal with Canada's national team. Meghan Agosta-Marciano, Canada's the top goalscorer at the 2010 Olympics, scored her first, second and third goals of the world championship in Canada's final preliminary-round game.
"Playing in the world championships, it's always a battle" Agosta-Marciano said. "Doesn't matter who you're playing against. To get that first goal of the tournament is always a good feeling."
The Ruthven, Ont., forward smacked her stick on the ice in triumph after scoring the first goal of her hat trick.
"It's always hard to get that first goal, but once you get it, you gain that momentum," she said. "For me, it really helped."
Canada finished first in Pool A with eight points ahead of the U.S. with seven. Both countries secured berths in Monday's semifinals.
Russia, Finland, Switzerland and Germany will play in Saturday's quarter-finals. The Czech Republic and Sweden will play a best-of-three relegation round.
Bram scored her first goal and Canada's first of the game in her 15th appearance with the national team. She was held scoreless in her world championship debut in 2012.
But it was worth the wait for the 22-year-old from Ste. Anne, Man. The announced crowd of 18,013 at SBP Arena set a single-game record for attendance at a female hockey game, according to Hockey Canada.
"To see it go in and get the monkey off my back was very exciting," an elated Bram said. "The fans were going nuts so it was great.
"I was hoping to get it playing Switzerland. Thirteen goals and I didn't get one and I was like 'oh, it's never going to come.' To start it off today was great."
Brianne Jenner contributed a pair of goals with Jennifer Wakefield and Sarah Vaillancourt also scoring for the defending champions.
Marie-Philip Poulin, Catherine Ward and Haley Irwin each had two assists. Shannon Szabados earned the shutout with 16 saves.
Finnish goaltender Noora Raty made 30 saves on 36 shots before she was replaced by Meeri Raisanen in the third period. Raisanen allowed two goals on seven shots.
In what is the second year for this tournament format, the top four countries in the world are grouped in Pool A and the fifth to eighth are in Pool B.
Canada and the United States move onto Monday's semifinals as the top two teams in their group. Finland was third with three points and Switzerland fourth with zero in Pool A.
Russia went undefeated to top Pool B and Germany was second with four points. Russia faces the Swiss and the Finns take on Germany in Saturday's quarter-finals.
The Canadians meet the winner between Russia and Switzerland in their semifinal. The Americans await the winner between the Finns and Germans.
The U.S. shut out Switzerland 5-0 on Friday. Russia blanked Sweden 4-0 and the Germans doubled the Czech Republic 6-3.
Canada was without captain Hayley Wickenheiser for a second straight game. Canada's all-time leading scorer suffered an upper-body injury in a 3-2 shootout win over the U.S. to open the tournament Tuesday.
She left that game in the second period and did not play in her team's 13-0 win over the Swiss the following night.
"We're encouraged. She's improving," head coach Dan Church said earlier Friday.

Giving Citizens Numbers They Can Understand
'Citizen-centric' financial reporting is a way for governments to improve transparency and accountability. It isn't hard, so why aren't more jurisdictions doing it?
As Jonathan Walters pointed out recently in Governing, hardly anyone understands Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, the audited financial statements that governments produce. This is a problem that auditors and accountants long have struggled to deal with. On the one hand is the urge to be complete and accurate and to hedge or qualify every assertion, which leads to hundreds of pages of mind-numbing detail. On the other hand is the need to report financial information in ways that allow citizens to hold their governments accountable.
The Association of Government Accountants (AGA) has tried to deal with this through its "citizen-centric" financial reporting initiative. In 2006, the AGA came up with a formula for distilling the most important financial and performance information about a jurisdiction into a four-page document. About a hundred or so jurisdictions now are doing citizen-centric reporting, including huge governments such as the state of Texas and smaller ones such as Scottsdale, Ariz. In an era when journalists and public officials are united on the need for transparency, it's surprising that more governments have not embraced citizen-centric reporting.
Brent Stockwell, Scottsdale's director of strategic initiatives, says citizen-centric reporting is working well for his city, giving it a way to synthesize and streamline information that it already has produced and providing the basis for a deeper conversation with citizens. The report is, he says, a beginning and not an end.
Texas was one of the early states to adopt citizen-centric reporting, producing its first report in 2008. Phillip Ashley, who directs the effort out of the state comptroller's office, was familiar with the program because he'd been involved with the AGA for years and thought citizen-centric reporting would align well with Comptroller Susan Combs' emphasis on transparency. Besides, he points out, citizen-centric reporting doesn't take a lot of effort: A couple of staffers pull the information from other reports the office does.
The AGA's guidelines for content and design of citizen-centric reports are very specific. They call for the first page to present the mission of the jurisdiction and demographic information. Page two should provide performance measures on key mission or service areas, and citizens should be consulted in deciding what service areas should be reported on. Page three is to present the costs of services and the sources of revenue to pay those costs, and page four should present the major challenges for the jurisdiction going forward.
Several federal agencies, five states, about a dozen cities, eight counties and a small hodgepodge of other governmental units have posted completed reports on the AGA's website. Despite the AGA's fairly rigid guidelines, the reports vary widely in form and content. Some seem to be not a lot more than standard government propaganda, while others provide useful information in a manner that is clear and accessible without being dumbed down.
One of the best reports is Nevada's, which is produced by state Controller Kim Wallin. I was especially impressed with the fourth page, entitled "What's Next? Future Challenges and Economic Outlook." A section on that page, labeled "Intergovernmental Financial Dependency and Related Risks," details the amount of money the state gets from the federal government and points out that federal funds will likely be shrinking. Clearly Wallin doesn't think Nevadans need their government financial information sugar-coated.
The concept of citizen-centric reporting is sound, the need is clearly there and the accountants driving this thing are passionate about it. One tireless advocate is Johnson County, Kan., Auditor Bill Miller, who is chairman of AGA's accountability workgroup. He says that the governments that are doing citizen-centric reporting see the value of it and that the idea is making headway. I'm not so sure about that, but I hope Miller's right.

US Presidential Election 2012
The United States' 57th quadrennial presidential election took place in November 2012. Incumbent President and Democrat Barack Obama won election and is running for a second term. His major challenger was former Massachusetts Governor, Republican Mitt Romney. From January to June, Americans voted in nationwide state level primaries and caucuses, which serveed the purpose of selecting party representatives of states to be sent for the party convention. The key issues in this race for the White House were social issues including the state of the economy, abortion and contraception, gay marriage, and immigration.
Obama ad targets Romney's threat to end Sesame Street producers' subsidy
Campaign misfires with bid to exploit Big Bird, but downward turn in polls spurs donors
Most Popular
A day after some national polls showed US President Barack Obama's edge over Mitt Romney evaporating, he responded with an attention-grabbing commercial featuring Big Bird of Sesame Street and Romney's debate-night vow to end US government funding to producers of the hit children's television show.
It did not exactly take flight.
Sesame Street creators have asked Obama to leave Big Bird out of it. And even some Democrats said the advert, suggesting that Romney would be tougher on Sesame Street than on Wall Street, was not what nervous party activists and volunteers were looking for.
"The right message is that on Friday, we saw great economic news," said Brian Moran, the Virginia Democratic Party's chairman, referring to new data which showed that the national unemployment rate had fallen to 7.8 per cent last month. "Things are moving in the right direction. That's where the focus should be, and not on the debate."
Big Bird was just one element of a broader effort by Obama and his team on Tuesday to reassure supporters - many of whom were confident a week ago that his re-election was all but assured - that his campaign had not lost its intensity or focus.
Later in the day, Obama delivered a spirited campaign appearance in Ohio, and his aides were reaching out to big donors with a calming message that they always expected a tight finish.
The Big Bird advert may not have inspired universal confidence among Democrats. But if nothing else, they said, any sense of complacency was now gone.
"Certainly, you're not hearing anyone out here saying this is in the bag, and you were beginning to get that sense," Colorado governor John Hickenlooper said. "Dire is the wrong word, but I do think it is a wake-up call."
At Obama's Chicago headquarters, senior advisers had already worked to calm younger staff members by counselling them to tune out the natural, if jarring, gyrations of a closely fought presidential race.
Its ranks of supportive Democratic governors were doing the same on Tuesday. "Did we forget no-drama Obama?" Montana governor Brian Schweitzer asked in an interview, reprising Obama's 2008 go-steady slogan.
Polls in battleground states appeared to show that the race had reverted to where it was before Obama went on a run and Romney stumbled after their party conventions, with Obama for the most part holding slight but shrinking edges in surveys.
"I wouldn't use the word 'panic', but there is a sense that everything the campaign told us about the need to continue the fight is absolutely true," said Justin Buell, a member of Obama's national finance council in San Francisco.
He and other members said there was at least a bright spot in that the latest turn in the campaign appeared to be driving a new round of donations.
"After the initial 24 hours where people recognised that it wasn't our best night, they seemed to double down and dig in," said Andy Spahn, a Los Angeles public relations executive who helped organise a fundraiser there last Sunday. "People who were watching and feeling him to be comfortable ahead, and not writing those last checks, they have felt the race tighten, and they are coming through."
Some Democrats questioned just how much Obama would gain from his Big Bird commercial. "I don't think anyone would argue this ad will make any sort of contribution to the decision in this race," said David Doak, a Democratic advertising strategist. But he said it could be more effective in getting free attention from the news media, which it did.

New event fees delayed
Date: September 23, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
After public outcry from St. Armands Circle and downtown event organizers, city commissioners voted Monday to delay implementation of a new special-event fee schedule that those organizers said would put their events at risk.
"I'm not just threatening that these events will go away — they will go away," said Diana Corrigan, executive director of the St. Armands Circle Association, which organizes 20 annual events on the Circle.
At the meeting, the City Commission decided to discuss the fees further with Corrigan and downtown event organizers. It will then hold another hearing on the issue in December and possibly implement the fees in January.
Corrigan said with the new fees, her group would be charged between $15,000 and $20,000 for the use of St. Armands Circle Park.
"We pay to keep the park clean, and now they're going to charge us to use it," she said.
City Manager Bob Bartolotta had hoped to recoup about $40,000 of the more than $200,000 he said it costs in man hours to process special-event permits each year, which he said was just 10% of what the county charges.
"Those costs don't go away," he said. "We had to choose — do we charge the event organizer or do we charge the taxpayer?"
Bartolotta commissioned an analysis that estimated that the St. Armands Circle Association would only incur costs of about $10,000 to put on its events.
But Corrigan said that estimate did not include all of her events and did not account for the full setup and tear down time.
"The city manager is not giving the commission all the facts," she said. "He's trying to snow them."
Bartolotta proposed exempting 10 events each year from paying the fees. But Corrigan suggested only charging the out-of-town event organizers who don't pay local taxes and take their profits with them.
"I understand they're grasping at straws, looking for revenue," said Corrigan. "Charge the (event organizers) coming from out of town to use the parks. Don't charge us."
