Law Restricting Paid Canvassers In Ballot Initiatives Awaits Lawsuit
Policy Advocates in Arkansas are planning to file a lawsuit challenging a new law which they claim restricts citizens from advancing ballot initiatives through a petition gathering process.
Act 1413 requires paid canvassers to register with the Secretary of State's office and would criminalize canvassers who solicit fraudulent signatures.
David Couch is an attorney for Regnant Populus and Arkansans For Compassionate Care, two groups that have used the petition process to try to put constitutional amendments on the general election ballot. He says the act violates both the Arkansas and U.S. constitutions.
"Amendment 7 of the Arkansas Constitution specifically states that you can't impose any additional burdens on the petitioning process other than those set in our own constitution. And this statute clearly imposes a lot of additional burdens and hurdles that petitioners have to go through," he says.
Couch says he plans to file a lawsuit next week in federal court against Act 1413. He says the groups he represents also plan to campaign against Senate Joint Resolution 16, a proposed constitutional amendment. It would require 75 percent of signatures for a ballot initiative to be valid before groups can receive extra time to collect the total amount of required signatures.
"They're are very few organizations that have a volunteer network great enough to actually collect signatures on a volunteer basis for either a initiative or a referendum. The vast majority of the people who want to do an initiated amendment or an initiated act are required to hire paid canvassers," says Couch.
Supporters of Act 1413, which passed overwhelmingly in both chambers of the state legislature, maintain that paid canvassers are incentivized to collect invalid or false signatures.
Couch says he expects other groups who have used the petition gathering process to join in the lawsuit.

History of advertising No 96: John E Powers' Wanamaker ads
Things you need to know
- Powers' candid approach sometimes caused tensions with his employers. Wanamaker fired him in 1883, rehired him the following year and fired him again in 1886.
- Powers said: "The first thing one must do to succeed in advertising is to have the attention of the reader. The next thing is to stick to the truth, and that means rectifying whatever's wrong in the merchant's business."
- By the 1890s, Powers was earning more than $100 a day as a copywriter.
Calling John E Powers the father of modern creative advertising is no hyperbole. Nor is it any exaggeration to proclaim him the pioneer of tell-it-like-it-is copywriting.
Born in 1837, Powers might arguably lay claim to being the world's first full-time copywriter. He was stern and reticent, with a penchant for plain speaking that didn't endear him to many people.
Even his one-time employer, the department store owner John Wanamaker, described him as "the most impudent man" he had seen.
His style was epitomised in one of his most famous ads for Wanamaker. Asked to create something to get rid of the store's surplus of "rotten gossamers" (light gauze-like fabrics), Powers simply wrote: "We have a lot of rotten gossamers and things we want to get rid of."
On the day the ad appeared, Wanamaker's customers had bought the store's entire gossamer surplus by noon.
Later, when hired by a near-bankrupt Pittsburgh clothing company, he told his client: "There's only one way out. Tell the truth."
His resulting ad read: "We are bankrupt. This announcement will bring our creditors down on our necks. But if you come and buy tomorrow, we shall have the money to meet them. If not, we will go to the wall." Impressed by the directness of the ad, people rushed to save the store.
The ad showed his passion for telling the truth at a time when advertising had little regard for it. He limited his copy to 100 words and used neither illustrations nor fancy adornments. "Fine writing is not only intellectual, it is offensive," he once declared.

Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- It took a visit by Henry Kravis to his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a trip to Japan, and one of KKR & Co.'s biggest deal teams to help seal the $7.2 billion takeover of Samson Investment Co.
Kravis, 67, traveled to Tulsa in July to meet Stacy Schusterman, chief executive officer of family-owned Samson, said people familiar with the talks. The trip eased her concern about outsiders moving the company's home base and laid the foundation for the biggest oil-and-gas buyout in history, the people said.
Kravis and co-founder George Roberts enlisted more than 20 deal makers, geologists and engineers to review the business and help obtain financing, said the people, who declined to be identified as the negotiations were private. Kravis pitched Itochu Corp. in Tokyo on becoming an investor, said the people.
"We needed to reach around the globe to build the partnership," Marc Lipschultz, KKR's global head of energy and infrastructure, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television yesterday after the deal was announced. "To evaluate all that and ultimately bring together this partnership, we needed a lot of people."
Jefferies Group Inc. began helping Samson seek possible buyers earlier this year and approached KKR about an offer, said one of the people. By October, they had started exclusive talks, the person said. To win over Schusterman, KKR pledged to keep Samson's headquarters in Tulsa, the city of Kravis's birth and where his brother still resides, people said.
"For Samson, Tulsa is home," Kravis said in a statement, where he identified himself as a native of the city. "It has always been a Tulsa company, and it will remain a Tulsa company."
Bidding Group
Kristi Huller, a spokeswoman for KKR, declined to comment. Dennis Neill, a spokesman for Samson, didn't immediately return a telephone call or e-mail seeking comment.
KKR and its group, which includes Itochu, Natural Gas Partners and Crestview Partners, have lined up $4.5 billion in committed financing from 11 lenders led by JPMorgan Chase & Co., said a person with knowledge of the matter.
Bank of America Corp., Barclays Plc, Bank of Montreal, Citigroup Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG, Royal Bank of Canada, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. provided financial advice to KKR, NGP and Crestview. Mizuho and Evercore Partners advised Itochu.
The deal gives KKR and its co-investors all of Samson save for the onshore Gulf Coast and offshore deep-water Gulf of Mexico assets, according to a statement yesterday. Samson, founded four decades ago by Schusterman's father, owns interests in more than 10,000 wells, including 4,000 operated in the U.S.
RPM's Help
"This company has vast existing resources and enormous resource potential," said Lipschultz.
To evaluate Samson's assets, Kravis and Roberts drafted employees from RPM Energy LLC, a Houston-based oil-and-gas producer created by KKR, said one of the people. The co-founders have already made oil-and-gas industry investments such as a midstream joint venture with El Paso Corp. and the acquisition of a stake in Colonial Pipeline Co. last year.
"Both have roots in the energy industry -- both of their families come from the energy industry," said Lipschultz.

Rocker panel replacement C30 crew cab dually
Ten years ago, I began to notice some bubbles in the paint on the rocker panels below the doors of my C30 Chevy dually- a sign of rust, that automotive cancer. Being caught up in building my house, and then the shop, I deferred the problem as the truck was perpetually in use dragging equipment on a trailer, hauling diesel fuel, or making endless runs to the lumber yard and home improvement stores.
The paint flaked. Holes appeared, and grew. Soon one of the doors became infected.
Last year, I ordered some steel repair panels and vowed to weld them in when I had the time – perhaps over the winter. As March wound down, I realized I had run out of winter months and excuses for not doing the job. I began work with the plasma cutter, cutting away the rusted areas and sprayed rust converter (stops rust) on the interior and now exposed metal.
The driver's side rear door was really in bad shape – not only rusted in the corner, but on the bottom interior toward the front. Perhaps a better solution would have been to source a door from a salvage yard from another truck or suburban. But, waste not, want not – I thought I could fix this.
I cut suitable oversized patches from some scrap 14 gauge steel (several times thicker than the body sheet metal) and slipped it between the inner and outer surfaces of the door and Mig welded it from both sides. Next I ground the welds flush and applied filler. Sand. Fill. Sand again. Sand some more. Prime and sand again.
In this view, we can see the forward area on the inside that needed attention. Behind the carpeted trim panel was a ragged, fist size rust hole. More patchwork with the Mig welder – and more filler and sanding, and the door was structurally sound.
Since the carpeted trim panel will cover this, I didn't worry that it wasn't completely flat. Smooth yes…flat, not quite.
I wound up repairing rust in both lower corners of the door. Here is the outside surface viewed from the bottom. There is white paint under the red, and factory dark grey primer under that.
So, on to the rocker panels…
Here is a stamped blank. I ordered 4 of these and then found that the fronts are not the same as the rear. Another catalog supplier had a different listing and while their panels were the correct length, they were not as complete, nor of the same quality.
I wound up doing some sectioning on the rear driver side to get the coverage I was after. I welded them in front and rear, and then drilled holes through the bottom, and folded and hammered the flange over as a wrap under the factory pinch weld, and then welded up the holes as plug welds and ground them down and filled them.
The front ones were able to be done with the doors on the truck, but I couldn't work the rear ones the way I wanted, so with help from a friend we stripped the interior and removed the rear doors taking the hinges with the doors. Here the driver's side welding is complete, then on to filling and sanding…
We took time to scribe around the hinges before we removed them. Upon reassembly, we were able to snug the bolts, close the door and then use a heavy drift (a 1″ diameter piece of stock) and a hammer to tap the upper and lower hinges up or down, back or front to adjust the door gap all around the perimeter and then tightened the bolts.
The passenger side went much the same, except no door repair needed, the door having been previously replaced.
More filling, sanding and prep work and then will send the truck off for professional sanding, prep and paint. We are freshening up the worn interior and as this has become more of a work truck and less of a 80's luxury hauler, I'm swapping out the worn carpet for some heavy duty molded black vinyl flooring over the factory insulation. The rear bench seat is in good shape. The aftermarket front seats are a bit worn, and I'll look for an opportunity to swap them out with burgundy buckets from a mid to late 80's suburban.
Why have I written so little in the last two years?
I began this blog about six and a half years ago as a vehicle to build experience and a personal understanding in support of a new chapter in my career. In my first post, I wondered aloud at what would motivate a person to share their thoughts, opinions and experiences with the world at large on a frequent basis. My initial outlook was that it must be a very narcissistic activity. Along the way, I found myself drawn in and motivated to write for a number of reasons. Sometimes it was simply to practice writing or an exercise to test out techniques and tactics. Other times, I had experienced something I want to share either because I thought it had value for others, or simply because I thought it was interesting to me and I was projecting a bit about my view of what it is to be me.
The last two years have passed and I've managed a scant single post each year in January, my motivations for doing so derived either from the shame of wordpress' annual report on your blog activity, or some addendum to my New Year's list of resolutions. So what happened? I spend much of my workday interacting with people online or working on aspects of the technology and business reasons for doing so and at the end of the day or on weekends, I feel a sense to do something tangible. At the same time, I've observed so many people becoming increasingly immersed in social networks, chronicling their lives nearly to the minute and this may be causing me to step back. Seemingly, every business, every media outlet advertises and implores the audience to "follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook". A colleague uploaded pictures of herself at a running event, and I was amused to see that her runner number also included her Twitter handle. "Social" is almost ubiquitous.
Toyota Autopsy
I'm helping replace the engine in a certain red Toyota pick up truck. This will be the fourth engine in the truck – the first replacement put in several years ago was a basic "reman" engine that just didn't hold together, the next engine was a high performance custom build, and while the engine builder had a lot of knowledge, it just wound up being plagued with valve train troubles that ultimately led to a catastrophic failure.
As Jim and I swapped out the very broken engine, transferring many of the external parts to the new one, I couldn't resist tearing into the old engine to see exactly what had failed. When we pulled the valve cover, careful inspection noted one valve was stuck down – a "dropped" valve that typically results in serious piston damage. As I began pulling the valve train and cylinder head, Jim remarked that perhaps I should have been a coroner as I was performing an autopsy of sorts.
Looking at the cylinder head with number 1 cylinder at the top, we can see extensive damage to the number 2 and number 3.
Seeing a close up, the intake (the larger valve on the left side) was the one which dropped, and the multiple impacts from the piston broke the stem, and much of the seat and pounded the valve back into the seat sideways. Certainly we can see why the #2 cylinder was toast, but looking at #3 we can see the intake valve is slightly bent and there is a lot of scoring and chipping of the combustion chamber around the valves?
So, what caused all the damage in number 3?
Taking a look at the block and the pistons. Number 2 has a hole smashed in the top of the piston – obviously damage caused by the collisions with the valve. But, look at the damage in number 3, and these odd pieces that were found inside. These 3 pieces are the valve stem and pieces of the seat from number 2 cylinder.
How did they get into the number 3 piston? My theory is that after the valve in number 2 dropped and was broken by the piston and driven sideways back into the intake port, the intake opening was now permanently open and the compression stroke pushed the broken pieces back up the intake runner. This force, coupled with the vacuum of the intake of the other three cylinders, drew the pieces up into the intake plenum and by luck and adjacency, they were then ingested by the number 3 cylinder on a subsequent intake stroke.
I remain amazed that the valve stem could have passed through the open valve. Perhaps even more amazing was the fact that the engine still ran, limping along on 2 of the 4 cylinders – enough to make it back home.
Brake job on Porsche Boxster S
After the last several months of travel, holidays, work, and family obligations, I found some time to get back to some projects that make use of my wrench collection. New year's day, Jim and I tackled the brakes and rear axles on the wife's 2002 Porsche Boxster S. Although now ten years old, the car has less than 50K miles on it and still had the factory brakes. Like many modern cars, the brake pads are now equipped with electronic sensors which indicate when the pads need to be changed – a big improvement over the mechanical "squealers" that were attached to the pads of cars in the past.
While we had the car on the lift, we noted that the rubber boots at both ends of each rear axle had split all the way through and were leaking grease. Torn boots not only allow the axle grease to escape, but dirt and water to enter and attack the CV joints. Left un-repaired, these would eventually start to wear and make clunking or popping noises while cornering, and would eventually fail. Best to replace them now.
We removed the wheels, brake pads, and then the calipers and rotors all the way around the car and hung the calipers from the struts using elastic cord. You could substitute wire, or some old coat hangers – anything that will support them and avoid damaging the brake hoses.
We then removed the brake rotors which were retained with two screws. We marked left and right rotors with soap stone and prepared them for resurfacing.
The rotors on the S model are cross drilled for heat dissipation and are pretty robust pieces and were not particularly stressed during my wife's commute to work, and occasional road trips. If the car were driven hard, or used in autocross or tracked, the rotors would likely have needed replacement at this point – from wear or potentially due to warping or cracking from excessive heat.
I inspected the surface of each rotor carefully and found no micro cracks. Checking the rotors on the brake lathe, I found about 10 thousands wear on either surface, and was able to true them up removing and additional 8-10 thousandths on each face. Resurfacing, trues the face of the rotor so that it is even and square and will mate properly to the new pads. After the final cut on the lathe, I finished each rotor with a fine cross hatch pattern to eliminate any spiraling from the lathe. This helps ensure quiet brake operation as the new pads are bedded in.
With the brakes apart, it was a good time to tackle the rear axles. Use of an impact wrench speeds removal of the 6 Allen head bolts that retain each axle to the transmission. I tried the first side by hand, and wound up a bit arm weary – if you have air tools, it really helps. Next, we disconnected the sway bar end link, the strut rod at the rear of the spindle, and the lower ball joint. Getting the lower ball joint to release was a chore, but once free the spindle and strut could be swung out and up, allowing the axle to slide inward and be released. (After removing the axle nut and tapping the end of the axle with a brass hammer).
Here, the new axle is installed, the spindle back in place, the strut rod and sway bar reconnected, and the caliper and rotor back in place.
My first android
I've just started to use Lenovo's new K1 tablet – and have had it for about a week or so. Since I work there, my decision to go with this device was partly in consideration for investing in my future and not somebody else's, but also to better understand the experiences of the customers that I talk to in our community every day.
Over the weekend, there was an update released which addressed a few minor bugs that inherently occur in any hardware / software product. Customers were sharing feedback about a few bumps they encountered during the install and I observed that when I told them that A) I had one of these too, B) Was by no means an "expert" on the product, and C) experienced a few of the same bumps they did and promised to share that with those involved in the release, the tone of the conversation changed.
I was suddenly human, not just an employee. I had just walked in their shoes. This was a moment where I could clearly see the difference in talking to someone vs talking with them.
So far, I really like the product and know I have a lot to learn about Apps and that whole ecosystem. My phone is woefully in need of an update – it can text, and could connect to the web under certain circumstances but hardly resembles anything we would now call "smart". Once I'm savvy on this tablet, I'll look into the expense of a phone and think that having one that can act as a portable wifi hotspot will be a key feature on my shopping list.
First time golf spectator
I'm not a golfer and I absolutely can't stand to watch golf on TV. My dad golfs, my brother golfs, my wife used to golf, and my best friend took up golf several years ago… and still golf eludes my interest. I never expected to find myself spectating at an event, and yet a couple weeks back, my wife and I had an opportunity to attend the Rex Hospital open for a day.
I started the day with nothing more than the expectation of a warm summer day out of the office and anything beyond that would be a plus. Disembarking the shuttle bus, I was immediately impressed by the scale of the event- the branding, featured event partners, and co-ordination of an army of volunteers busy shuttling players and staff about in extended golf carts.
The VIP Viewboxes provided excellent vantage points. I'll admit, I was quite impressed as the players dropped shots on the greens from hundreds of yards out. Quickly, I could see how important the short game was. Getting to the green – covering those vast distances without losing the ball into the woods, the rough, or any of the water hazards seemed like it should be the hard part, and yet the great seemed to separate themselves from the merely good once on the green.
I reflected on this a bit as I watched and considered how the short game in life – all the details in how well we do the things that we do, make a difference in the outcome – where we find ourselves on the leaderboard of our own profession. As the day wound down, I was surprised to find that I had really enjoyed my time and came away with a new appreciation for the game.
Returning from LiNC 2011
Level Up, the theme of Lithium's fourth annual customer conference was a nod to the underlying game theory within community and a challenge to attendees to take their personal and professional game to the next level this year. The "4" on the lower right corner of my conference badge this year denotes the 4 years I have attended, and what a change it has been year to year. I think progression of the size and quality of the event badges fairly mirrors the progression in scale and sophistication of the events themselves.
The first year felt big at the time, and now only seems slightly humbled by the scale of these last two years with hundreds of attendees and ballrooms packed to capacity.
Over the years, the client brand list is getting bigger, the sophistication of the client stories is growing richer – from Barnes and Noble's online book club, to HP's massive adoption of community across divisions, to Home Depot rolling out a comprehensive community backed by real in the aisles, orange apron wearing employees who engage customers to ensure their projects are successful.
Giff Gaff, a UK wireless teleco startup is growing by leaps and bounds with their game changing approach to completely base their support on community and not a call center. Tech support sans phones.
Hundreds of major brands are ramping up their investments. Social media is no longer a cottage industry, a small pilot experiment, but rather a rapidly scaling mainstream adoption as a channel to do business. In the last several years, we have seen stories of how companies have used social media to market their brand, drive sales, and support customers, but now we are starting to see the integration and adoption of these in a more sophisticated and organized manner.
As companies move toward a more comprehensive and integrated approach, we are seeing the social media technology providers building strategic partnerships and / or making acquisitions to position them to serve these needs. Last year, Lithium acquired Scout Labs, a social monitoring and analysis tool to expand their capabilities beyond community.
Companies have moved to embrace facebook and twitter in significant ways over the last 12-18 months, and the volume of twitter usage has risen from 30 million tweets per day to over 150 million tweets per day during this same interval. Clearly the usage is ramping, but a comprehensive and scalable enterprise social plan needs to effectively marry the viral reach of facebook and twitter with the depth of engagement of blogs, forum discussions, ideas and analytics of community.
Last year, Lithium completed twitter and facebook integrations as a first step in this direction, and announced new products for 2011 called "level up" which build greater depth, the ability to easily build and deploy multiple facebook apps that allow community participation types within the facebook pages and connect into a comprehensive set of metrics.
Equally exciting was the evolution of the engagement center into the new CIC which effectively embeds the scout labs capability within the community and provides a community data stream which can be analyzed against twitter, facebook, blogs, forums, and news for all the search topics which are set up. An engagement / assignment work flow is also evident. These represent the execution of the roadmap visions from LiNC 2010, last year's conference.
For those clients who have a desire to customize their tools, the concept of Lithium's developer nation will be welcome news.
But it wasn't all branding and roadmap. One of the things that is clear about Lithium is the focus on client and client success. The narrative is about their clients, and helping their clients be successful and celebrating that success. This principle was reflected in many fun ways, from featured customer presentations from Home Depot, Sephora, and Giff Gaff, to an SXSW styled cartoon wall that expressed a fun idea about various clients.
Cleo, our English community manager posed with Dr. Michael Wu .
Following in the tradition of last year, there were the Lithy awards…
Our community, along with RIM won the best community anecdote or story category based on the depth of engagement with our super users.
Perhaps a very practical demonstration of this, is that Jane was able to join us this year. Jane, one of our best and most stalwart advocates helped us plan, launch and manage our community with an eye toward meeting customer needs. It has been a win-win proposition and I enjoyed meeting her in person at the conference.
Level up. The conference theme was appropriate and applicable in many ways. The days and months of 2011 ahead of us are going to be challenging as we add depth, sophistication, and polish to our efforts and level up our ability to create a compelling and addicting experience as we serve our customers.

Synopsis: Eoghan is a sound recordist who is returning to Ireland for the first time in 15 years. His reason for returning is a job offer: to find and record places free from man-made sound. His quest takes him away from towns and villages into remote terrain. Throughout his journey, he is drawn into a series of encounters and conversations which gradually divert his attention towards a more intangible silence, one that is bound up with the sounds of the life he had left behind. Influenced by elements of folklore and archive, Silence unfolds with a quiet intensity, where poetic images reveal an absorbing meditation on themes relating to sound and silence, history, memory and exile.

Governor's Radio Address Touts 'Private Option'
Arkansas is moving forward with a new plan to implement part of the Affordable Care Act to pay for health insurance for the state's working poor now that the legislature has wrapped up its business.
Governor Mike Beebe used his weekly radio address to highlight the benefits of the state's new "private option" of expanding health insurance with money intended for Medicaid.
"Instead of using current Medicaid services, they will receive coverage from private companies competitively bidding through our new insurance exchange," Beebe said. "While still administered by the Medicaid program, our plan will give working Arkansans more choices and a greater range of available services. After three years Arkansas will decide whether to continue the 'private option' as the state begins paying its small share."
Arkansas's plan is contingent on federal approval which state officials say may take several months to get. They say they will begin setting up the plan in the meantime.

in children and teens, but observed that more studies would be needed to draw a stronger relationship.
The committee concluded that food and beverage marketing influences the diets and health of children and adolescents and that current marketing practices are out of balance with healthful diets. It also concluded that companies and marketers have underutilized the potential to devote creativity and resources to developing and promoting foods, beverages, and meals that support healthful diets. According to the report, achieving healthful diets will require sustained multisectoral and integrated efforts that include industry leadership and initiative. The report also notes that public policy programs and incentives lack the support and authority to address many of the current and emerging marketing practices that influence the diets of children and youth.
The IOM report includes recommendations in nine broad areas related to food marketing and children's diets. Drawing on two recent articles reviewing progress since the report was released (Kraak et al., 2011, 2012), Wartella reviewed these recommendations and assessed the changes they have inspired.
Products and Promotion
The IOM report recommends that food and beverage companies use creativity, resources, and marketing practices to promote and support more healthful diets and meals for children and youth. This recommendation has led to some product reformulations and new product development, Wartella said. Television advertising for unhealthy products also has been reduced in some areas. Wartella pointed out that questions have been raised, however, about whether product reformulations have led to changes in what is marketed to children and youth.
In addition, restaurants have made limited progress in expanding and promoting healthier meals and providing nutrition information at the point of choice and consumption. A study examining the meal choices of children and adolescents at the 12 largest restaurants in terms of sales and marketing to youth found that only 12 and 15, respectively, of 3,039 possible meal combinations met established nutrition standards for preschoolers and older children (Harris et al., 2010). Meals purchased by adolescents provided an average of 800 to 1,200 calories, 30 percent or more of which came from sugar and saturated fat, and healthy side dishes rarely were offered as a default choice (Harris et al., 2010).

Caribbean leaders in Brooklyn are throwing their support behind Mayor Michael Bloomberg as he seeks a third term in office.
Bloomberg received the endorsement during an appearance in Crown Heights Sunday.
Caribbean supporters credit the mayor with helping business owners receive grants, as well as improving healthcare and decreasing crime in their community.
Bloomberg says it has been a team effort.
"The work of the Caribbean community leaders and ministers, really has been a very big part of that success. But let me tell you, we are not done. We still have a lot of hard work ahead to keep all five boroughs moving forward in these tough times," said Bloomberg.
This is the mayor's third endorsement from Caribbean leaders.

Officials warn of dangers on the thinning ice
Like many other lakes in the area, the ice on Milton Three Ponds, especially near the shore and along the route of the Salmon Falls River, is disappearing in the warm spring sunshine. (JOHN QUINN/photo)
While ice still covers most of Sunrise Lake in Middleton, the waterway is starting to open up near the dam and dark spots can be seen scattered along the snow cover. John Quinn/Union Leader
That's the message from firefighters planning to conduct ice rescue training this week.
Rochester Fire Capt. Joe Burns said he hopes the training plunge into the Cocheco River will be the only time firefighters have to don cold water suits this year.
"We don't recommend anyone going out on the ice right now," Burns said.
Milton Fire Chief Nick Marique said parts of Milton Three Ponds are ice-free, especially along the Salmon Falls River.
"It's spring now, so it's not safe," Marique said.
Dover Fire Capt. Paul Haas said ice should be at least four inches thick for people to walk on it safely.
Lee Fire Capt. Scott Newett said firefighters are keeping a close eye on Wheelwright Pond, along Route 152, even though he hasn't seen anyone on the ice in the past week.
In the best of circumstances, Northwood Fire Lt. David Wakeman said it takes about a dozen firefighters to rescue a person who breaks through the ice. People sometimes get into trouble trying to rescue animals, he said.
"We go out for animals more often than people," Wakeman said.
While snowmobilers enjoy traversing Sunrise Lake in Middleton, dark spots are appearing in the ice, especially near the shoreline. John Quinn/Union Leader
While ice still covers most of Sunrise Lake in Middleton, dark spots signal the end of winter spots and herald the start of boating, fishing and swimming in warmer weather. John Quinn/Union Leader

Food Fight: Beer vs. Liquorby Toby Amidor in Food Fight, Healthy Tips, August 30, 2012
Labor Day is around the corner—should you grab an ice-cold beer or choose a spirits-filled cocktail? This battle is a tricky one…
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends no more than 1 drink per day for women and no more than 2 drinks per day for men. For beer, a "drink" is defined as a 12-fluid ounce bottle. Moderate alcohol consumption (as recommended by the Dietary Guidelines) can help reduce your risk of heart disease, reduce the risk of stroke, and lower the risk of gall stones.
The calories in a 12-fluid ounce bottle of regular beer vary from around 150 to 300. Lighter varieties usually run around 100 calories for 12-fluid ounces and are widely available in bars, restaurants and retail markets. However many bars offer pints (equivalent to 16-fluid ounces) with around 200 to 400 calories each.
If you're looking for nutritional goodness, dark beer is the way to go. A 2011 study published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture found that dark beers have more iron than both pale and non-alcoholic beer.
See the results of our light beer taste test.
Liquor or spirits is your vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and other "hard" alcohol. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, one serving is considered 1.5 fluid ounces of an 80-proof liquor like rum or vodka. For 100-proof spirits, the serving is 1-fluid ounce. This will run you about 100 calories.
Liquor is used to make a variety of yummy cocktails—that's where calories can get out of control. Combined with sugary mixers and regular soda or juice, they can run up to and above 500 calories each! Oftentimes, they contain more than one or two "servings" of liquor. It's also easier to over-pour one serving, unless you use a jigger to measure.
Healthy Eats Winner: Beer takes the trophy for this food fight – it's just easier to control calories. Unless you can enjoy liquor mixed with a non-calorie beverage (like seltzer) or over ice (love my whiskey on the rocks!) it's just too easy to go overboard in those mixed cocktails.
TELL US: Who gets your vote: beer or liquor?

National Organization for Marriage on the attack in New Hampshire
Republican Presidential hopefuls aren't the only ones going to New Hampshire to take down Democratic governor John Lynch: the National Organization for Marriage is launching a $425,000 ad campaign to oppose the governor. In June of last year, Governor Lynch signed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, which put him in NOM's crosshairs. NOM has also spent $235,000 attacking members of Iowa's Supreme Court, which unanimously decided that same-sex couples have a right to marry under the state constitution, who are up for a retention vote. Moreover, the group spent tens of thousands of dollars in unsuccessful efforts to defeat members of the DC Council that voted in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage.
Hopefully, their ads in New Hampshire will be just as "memorable" as their Gathering Storm ad. NOM will surely utilize the same deceptive tactics and bigoted rhetoric present in their other ads, especially since they are working with the New Hampshire group Cornerstone Action, the political arm of the state's foremost Religious Right organization. Cornerstone Action believes that adultery should be a criminal offense, and in 2007 their executive director claimed that same-sex couples are "unnatural" and worked to oppose civil unions as an "acceptance of a behavior that is jeopardizing the health of our children." Without a doubt, the gubernatorial race in New Hampshire will be another test of NOM's plans to defeat public officials who back LGBT equality.

ive built my fermentation chamber, 5'Lx3.5'Wx4'T. 2inches of R6 insulation all the way around. the heater in it keeps it a nice 73F. its time to start brewing again.
ive isolated on potato dextrose agar, an american heffe yeast from white labs, and its been transferred to gluten free wort in a test tube and its growing up nicely. soon ill transfer it again to a flask of GF wort and create my starter.
i would like to use this in my next brew.
im thinking a 5gal all grain batch using 70% oats and 30% corn
id like to use it in an all grain quinoa batch but that will be later down the road.
is there any thoughts in regards to mash temps, protein rests,
ill be tossing in enzymes to hopefully convert this
so my recipe is looking like this, but its still alterable
4# med toasted flaked oats
4# light toasted flaked oats
1 # med toasted millet
3#light toasted flaked corn
8-16 oz maltodextrin
1 oz cascade hops at 60min
.5 oz czech saaz at 15 min
Can you run it through one of the programs like Beersmith? Is there a commercial beer like this to bounce off a clone recipe?
nothing like a good shot into the dark. my trial of beersmith ran out and....well. im flat broke (good thing i have a hefty stash of brew supplies). i can adjust the ferm chamber temp, its up right now for isolating yeast on plates (thats the temp we hold the growth chamber at the microlab i work in).
i have no idea if there is an oat heffe out there on the commercial market, and it's not like i could try tasting if i wanted to
What enzymes are you going to mash with?
i have a alpha/ beta combo from crosby and baker.
i think im going to put the corn and oat recipe on hold till i can get a proper recipe worked out, in the mean time, i got me some hazelnut extract. so this is what ill be doing with it this weekend. tonight i toast me some millet!
7# tapioca extract,
>1# clover honey
2# med-dark toasted millet
? hazel nut extract at 15 or flameout
.5oz cz saaz at 60
.25 cz saaz at 30
.25 cz saaz at 15
10-14oz maltodextrin
1/2tsp irish moss @ 15
2tsp yeast nutrient
beersmith is locked out for me. so damn
this is a variation of my strawberry blonde that everyone went ape**** over. so im going to try this with hazel nuts, if this works according to plan, leeinwa should be expecting an order shortly for chestnuts to make a chestnuthazelnut something or other\
i think i got it from 'brewforless" but i cant remember its been a number of months since i got it. try a google.shopping/ froogle search for it. its out there and a 1.5oz bottle has lasted me quite a while.

Love Needs No Justification
What is the relationship between evangelism and social justice? The question is difficult to avoid as voices from all points of view fill conference stages, blog rolls, and even the pages of magazines like Leadership Journal. One side believes social action was unjustifiably divorced from gospel mission a century ago during the Modernist-Fundamentalist controversy. What God has joined together, they argue, we have wrongly put asunder.
Voices on the other side recognize the goodness of seeking peace and wholeness for the suffering, but not at the expense of eternal salvation. They believe social justice to be a byproduct of the gospel but not the essence of it. Failure to make such a distinction, they fear, leads the church astray.
As I encounter this debate, what surprises me is the lack of historical or global perspective. We seem to think this is a purely contemporary, and primarily American, question. And among my own generation of younger leaders, I sometimes detect a hint of smugness as we congratulate ourselves for rescuing social justice from an evangelical phantom zone where we assume it had been languishing until we came along.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The church has been addressing matters of mission and justice ever since Pentecost—the Book of Acts, after all, isn't just a list of evangelistic sermons. And the issue is repeatedly found among Patristic writings. But my own understanding of how evangelism and social justice intersect has been informed by a more recent church father—John Stott.
Stott, whose service to the Lord in this age ended last year, was neither American nor a Gen-Xer. He was English, Anglican, and a theological heavyweight of 20th century evangelicalism. Together with Billy Graham, he established the Lausanne Movement, and crafted one of the most respected and widely accepted modern statements of Christian faith and mission—the Lausanne Covenant.
But having witnessed the many horrors of the 20th century, Stott also wrestled with the question of evangelism and social action. And what he concluded has much to say to us in the 21st century. In short, Stott believed both sides of the controversy were in error.
In Christian Mission in the Modern World (IVP, 1975), Stott argues that most people try to make social justice either superior or subordinate to evangelism. The superior position diminishes the importance of calling people to be reconciled to God through Christ—something Stott found utterly incongruent with the New Testament. The subordinate position, however, he saw as equally untenable. It made social action into a PR device; a way to win favor in order to lead to conversions, a mere means to an end. Stott wrote: "In its most blatant form this makes social work the sugar on the pill, the bait on the hook, while in its best forms it gives the gospel credibility it would otherwise lack. In either case the smell of hypocrisy hangs round our philanthropy."
Stott recognized that forcing ...

Hackers Disrupt Burger King's Twitter Account

Originally published on Tue February 19, 2013 9:33 am
Good morning, I'm Linda Wertheimer.
Unknown hackers captured Burger King's Twitter account for more than an hour yesterday. They changed BK's bio, saying the company was sold to rival McDonald's because the Whopper had flopped. McDonald's sent the message: We didn't do it. The hackers did bring Burger King 30,000 new followers. BK recovered its account and tweeted: Interesting day.

Gov. Hassan's Attorney General: Why Joe Foster?
Foster is a successful and well-respected attorney for the McLane law firm, which bills itself as the state's largest (and best-connected) firm. But the resume that would open many doors for Foster should he seek employment at a bigger firm out of state poses some problems for him as an attorney general nominee.
Most obviously, Foster has no experience as a criminal prosecutor. His career specialty is bankruptcy law. That would be pretty good experience for the governor these days. But the attorney general is the state's top law enforcement officer. As such, he is in charge of investigating police shootings and prosecuting all homicides. Gov. Hassan wants to entrust all state homicide prosecutions to an attorney who has never prosecuted a pickpocket.
And as a business lawyer with numerous high-profile clients, who comes from a huge law firm with many more high-profile clients, Foster is likely to have to recuse himself from many, many cases to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.
None of this is to suggest that Foster is not a highly capable attorney. It is just that his selection makes one wonder whether Gov. Hassan is after the best possible attorney general or the closest political ally.

We're happy when we go for a run. We're even more happy when we go for a run in a gorilla suit — at least according to Roko Belic, director of the award-winning documentary, HAPPY. That's because some change is gonna do ya good. Which is one of the many reasons that we placemakers advocate for immersive urban environments, and not the monoculture of suburbia. And why we go as far as to argue that these sorts of diverse, character-rich neighbourhoods actually make us happier.
Black Friday: Get your gorilla on
Lessons Learned from Berlin Shopfronts
Like many European cities, Berlin teaches us myriad lessons in building successful shopfronts. While the exclusive international shops along Kurfürstendamm and Friedrichstrasse are elegant and effective, the more creative successes are found in neighborhoods and courtyards. Kaid Benfield's People Habitat describes in detail the reasons Hackeschen Höfe is so successful at the holistic level, and last week Hazel Borys discussed the diversity of uses, so here we'll just explore the interesting shopfront contributions. There are some very successful shopfront examples in the Prenzlaur Berg neighborhood as well.
Euro-Envy Reconsidered: Talkin' time, distance and change
When my wife and I headed to Europe for our first two-week vacation in 15 years, I don't think I realized how grouchy I was getting about change adaptation in the US. So much political paralysis. So little leadership. No sense of urgency on issues of huge importance. It was way past time for a getaway to be among grown-ups.
Let's Get Metaphysical: Considering the value of soul in redevelopment
Not so long ago, in a conversation about technology and green building, there was mention of some high-tech green building models coming out of Europe. Models that, according to reports, perform so well that even if you factor the embedded energy of a previous structure torn down to accommodate them, they still come out ahead.
That's a potential game changer, at least in terms of selling high-tech green, and I'm not sure it's one that I welcome.
Celebrating Public Art: Chicago in the summer
A recent trip to Chicago on the first weekend of summer reinforced the importance of great public art. After a particularly harsh winter, the welcoming parks, squares, and plazas of the city were burgeoning with people soaking in the sunshine.
Coming home to talk with my husband, who happens to be an art museum director, we had some interesting conversations about the differences between civic art and public art. For my husband, there really is no difference, however in my industry, there is.
Let Love Rule: Resilience in Mesquite
Crossing Campo Street from downtown Las Cruces into the Mesquite Historic District is like crossing between two urban worlds that are often misunderstood.
To the west is one of the country's textbook examples of everything that could go wrong with federally subsidized Urban Renewal, including the obligatory seas of parking, corporate CBD architecture, vacant properties, and a one-way loop that locals derisively refer to as "the race track." The stunning aerial view from 1974 shows the city after its failed open-heart surgery. Even today, after a heroic struggle to dismantle the virtually abandoned pedestrian mall and reinstitute automobile-access on Main Street, the pain of this flattening experience lingers on. The place is deserted on a beautiful September evening.
The Seeds of Permanence: Building a multi-century home
For the past 18 months, PlaceShakers has been covering the work of my friend, Clay Chapman, and his quest to build a near-permanent, structural masonry home for a price accessible to the middle class. I wrote this introduction when he was breaking ground and, later, when the shell of his test home was completed, I posted a follow-up.
That house, which launched his "Hope for Architecture" initiative, is now complete and Clay's been engaged to build a new house — a modest variation of the original HFA house — for a new client.
Get to Know the Awkwardly-Named "Terminated Vista"
Enjoying a serendipitous downtown walk this week, I was reminded of just how important this concept is. Seemed like a good opportunity to dust off this oldie-but-goodie.
I'll admit it: I wish there was a more user-friendly way to say "terminated vista."
Perhaps I'm more sensitive to it because, as regular readers here know, I'm not an urban designer. I just work with them. That means I'm more inclined to scratch my head like any other layperson when I hear wonky expressions that sound far too highfalutin for an everyday community.
That's too bad, because the terminated vista plays a pivotal role in good community design.
Cottage Simplicity: Keeping it easy, making it attainable
We talk often here on PlaceShakers about cottage living, as well as drilling down into how to make that happen at home, with conversations like Small Y'all: A Cottage Solution to the Housing Problem and "Pocket Neighborhoods": Scale Matters.
This weekend, strolling through Victoria Beach — an insightful cottage community in Manitoba, Canada — I was struck by many of the lessons learned through all the conversations we've had together here. And one of the biggest is to keep it simple. And in many cases, that means inexpensive. Victoria Beach does it with a dirt street grid and very simple architecture on the town square, which is really more of an oversized town ramble. Most of the lots on these dirt streets are not cleared keeping the costs lower and privacy higher.
Porchtastic: Living in Season
Living in season asks us to "entice people outside, where they get more acclimated to the local environment, needing less heating or cooling when they return indoors," according to Steve Mouzon via treehugger.
Howard Blackson dares us to live outdoors where "we can again connect with our climate and place — another step towards unsealing ourselves from our hermetic suburban environments."

(PETERBOROUGH) Allegations of overspending in the 2008 election have landed MP Dean Del Mastro in controversy.
The Liberals are calling for him to step down from his parliamentary secretary and Commons Ethics Committee roles while he is being investigated by Elections Canada.
It all stems from a $21,000 cheque paid to a voter-identification company that didn't show up on his official campaign expense form submitted to Elections Canada. The expense, if election related, would put him well over his spending limit.
The finances came to light through a small claims lawsuit against MP Del Mastro over non-payment for the services.
MP Del Mastro is standing behind his financial statements. The cheque, he says, was not directly related to the 2008 campaign and therefore does not belong in his election financial statements.
"The election wasn't called for some time after that," he says.
The cheque was dated Aug. 18, 2008. The election was called in September and voters went to the polls Oct. 14.
"They (his expense statements) are accurate, they have been professionally audited, and they have been signed off on by elections Canada," he says.
As for the investigation, he says it's news to him since no one from Elections Canada has been in touch with him regarding his expenses.
Elections Canada was unable to confirm or deny if there is an investigation into MP Del Mastro.
Writing large personal cheques is not uncommon, says MP Del Mastro, if that money is later reimbursed.
So far, he says he has not been able to get the Elections Canada investigation documents since he was told they are not publicly available, but he says he will be going through his financial records.
Frank Hall of Holinshed Research Group, the voter identification company operator, sent a letter to MP Del Mastro's official agent, Richard McCarthy, according to court documents obtained by This Week.
"Holinshed Research Group cannot bear any responsibility for your financial reporting nor do we have any accountability to Elections Canada," the letter reads. "Our only concern is that our company is listed as an expense in a reporting error on a public website. Please ensure this matter is rectified."
Holinshed was hired to conduct telephone voter identification for the riding and an election day "Get the Vote Out" campaign at a cost of $21,000 with GST. Mr. Hall points out the claim on the Elections Canada website makes note of a $1,500 expense to Holinshed. He says a $1,500 invoice was issued for additional work, but payment was never received.
Mr. Hall did not return calls from This Week Thursday afternoon by deadline.
Holinshed appears to be out of business since the phone number from the court documents is no longer in service and its website has been taken down.
The Liberals point out MP Del Mastro has been the Conservative Party's defender against allegations of election fraud due to alleged misleading phone calls made to voters last election.
"These are only allegations," points out local Liberal candidate Betsy McGregor.
However, she says having our MP involved in small claims court case alleging election overspending, she says, is an embarrassment to the community.
"No one likes a cheater," she says.
She acknowledges her rival won by more than 9,000 votes, but notes overspending by that degree could impact election results.
"Voter identification is core to a campaign. It's central to winning," she says.
In 2008, MP Del Mastro claimed $91,770.80 in election expenses and Ms McGregor claimed $83,805.43. All candidates were capped at $92,566.79.
Most of the court documents between MP Del Mastro and Holinshed involve a dispute over payment for services.
It comes to a peak as MP Del Mastro says he is severing his relationship with the company.
