Should Republican Norm Coleman prevail in the U.S. Senate recount against DFLer Al Franken over the coming weeks, his reelection will be noteworthy in several respects.
First, at 42.0 percent, Coleman will have been elected by the lowest percentage in Minnesota in nearly 80 years and the second lowest in Gopher State history ever since popular vote U.S. Senate elections were instituted in 1912. Only Republican Thomas D. Schall would have been elected by a lower percentage of voters, at 37.6 percent in 1930.
Coleman would also join Schall as the only Senators in Minnesota history to be elected more than once without ever having received a majority of the vote.
Coleman would also be the eighth Senator in state history to have been reelected with a smaller percentage of the vote from the previous election cycle. Coleman's 7.5-point decrease in support from 2002 is the fourth highest decrease among reelected incumbents (behind Farmer-Laborite Henrik Shipstead's 15.5-point drop from 1928 to 1934, Schall's 8.9-point drop from 1924 to 1930, and Republican David Durenberger's 8.9-point drop from 1978's special election to 1982).
Coleman also performed 1.8 points off John McCain's pace at the top of the Republican ticket in 2008. Of the 11 U.S. Senate elections that have been conducted during presidential election years since the DFL merger in 1944, Coleman's 2008 showing ranks as the 5th worst performance by a Republican in terms of vote differential from the top of the GOP ticket. Five Republican U.S. Senate nominees have actually received a larger percentage of votes statewide than their GOP presidential ballotmates, with Coleman's 2008 performance ranking as 7th out of 11.
1988: Dave Durenberger; +10.3 points over George H.W Bush
1984: Rudy Boschwitz; +8.6 points over Ronald Reagan
1996: Rudy Boschwitz; +6.3 points over Bob Dole
1964: Wheelock Whitney; +3.3 points over Barry Goldwater
1952: Edward J. Thye; +1.3 points over Dwight D. Eisenhower
1948: Joseph H. Ball; -0.1 points under Thomas Dewey
2008: Norm Coleman; -1.8 points under John McCain
2000: Rod Grams; -2.2 points under George W. Bush
1960: P. Kenneth Peterson; -7.0 points under Richard Nixon
1972: Phil Hansen; -8.7 points under Richard Nixon
1976: Jerry Brekke; -17.0 points under Gerald Ford
On the surface, this data suggests that Norm Coleman was a weak candidate for the GOP in 2008 and turned in a lackluster performance on Election Day. But a deeper examination of the historical election data reveals this is not the case.
Coleman's low vote percentage is deceiving, as it is a direct result of the large third-party share carved out by Independence Party candidate Dean Barkley. At 15.2 percent, Barkley lays credit to the biggest turnout for a third-party U.S. Senate candidate in Minnesota since the DFL merger in 1944.
If you remove third party candidates from the equation, and only look at the two-party vote share between Republicans and DFLers in both the Presidential and U.S. Senate contests, Coleman actually performed 5.3 points better than John McCain in Minnesota. Coleman also turned in the third strongest performance by a Republican U.S. Senate nominee vis-à-vis the GOP presidential vote since the DFL merger.
Republican U.S. Senate vs. Presidential Candidate Two-Party Vote Share Differential, 1948-2008
Year | GOP Senate |
GOP President |
Difference |
1988 (Durenberger) | 57.9 |
46.5 |
11.4 |
1984 (Boschwitz) | 58.5 |
49.9 |
8.6 |
2008 (Coleman) | 50.0 |
44.7 |
5.3 |
1996 (Boschwitz) | 45.1 |
40.7 |
4.4 |
1964 (Whitney) | 39.5 |
36.1 |
3.4 |
1952 (Thye) | 57.1 |
55.6 |
1.5 |
1948 (Ball) | 40.0 |
41.1 |
-1.1 |
2000 (Grams) | 47.0 |
48.7 |
-1.7 |
1960 (Peterson) | 42.3 |
49.3 |
-7.0 |
1972 (Hansen) | 43.1 |
52.8 |
-9.7 |
1976 (Brekke) | 27.0 |
43.3 |
-16.3 |
The rejoinder to this argument is that Barkley was only able to score such a high number on Election Day precisely because of Coleman's (and Franken's) shortcomings as a candidate. That argument, of course, presumes votes for third parties originate in the Democratic or Republican camp and are thus 'taken away.' Smart Politics makes no such assumption for the purposes of this entry, and leaves that discussion for another day.

Fila Brazillia have been one of the most consistent and respected underground 'dance' acts of the 90s. Releasing six albums on the Pork Recordings label, they ended the decade by forming their own Tritone label (recently changed to 'Twentythree' due to legal reasons) and putting out the album 'A Touch of Cloth '. This release also saw them emerging from their self-inflicted hiding and into the glossy pages of the music press with their first ever interviews and photo shoots. They also hit the ...
"Every track has been worked to perfection...they're all excellent. Highly recommended."
"With a further six albums of their own, this just cements their legacy."

"Bloody good."
"The best remixers are electronic alchemists who transmute leaden grooves into golden wonders; on this evidence Fila Brazillia are magic indeed. DANCE ALBUM OF THE MONTH"
Matthew Colin, Mojo

"While other remix albums are frequently tedious and predictable, Fila don't ever resort to pushing tracks adding their own set of flavours."
Sarah Jane, Flipside
Sarah Jane, Flipside
"A value for money inventory of one of the consistently interesting remix teams going. A big thumbs up."
"Sliding smoothly between the most deep-frozen of chilled beats, chunky hip hop breaks and frenetic Latin rhythms to name but a few shape-shifting manouvres, Fila manage to match or outstrip the original everytime you recognise it and provide tracks so tasty in their own right that you couldn't really care less when you don't. (9/10)"
Tim Irwin, DJ
Tim Irwin, DJ
"Over the past few years, Fila Brazillia have been one of the most consistently interesting acts around. As live musicians and recording artists their skills are seldom disputed, however, it is when reinterpreting other's work that the boys really come into their own. This is a thorough inventory of the prolific partnership and a great way to bag all those tracks you either couldn't find or afford when they first came out. Winner."
Dave Stelfox, XLR8R
Dave Stelfox, XLR8R
"Much maligned of late for its tendency to favour a quick buck rather than an artistic look, it's sometimes easy to forget that when handled with the correct amount of verve and irreverence the deconstructive remix can help to reconstruct any number of flagging careers - just ask Everything But The Girl & Moloko. Lounging in the camp that eyes the remix as an extension of a group's armoury, Fila Brazillia have long been revered for their ability to transform with a serious infusion of Fila Funk. A warm and wondrous fascination with a beat-driven boogie and electronic expression is maintained throughout."
Jim Butler, Jockey Slut
Jim Butler, Jockey Slut
"One Hull of an album. Yes, there was good Sunday morning bacon sarnie music before Groove Armada and A:xus - and this collection of remixes from Hull's dub 'n' trip hop soul bros proves it. This is the nuts. ECLECTIC ALBUM OF THE MONTH."
"Despite lacking the media profile necessary to establish themselves as dance heavyweights, Fila Brazillia have quietly been producing consistently high quality remixes of more than 60 tracks, 18 of which are compiled here. Their sound is a loose, organic funk."
Music Week
Music Week
"Drawing from such a melting pot of styles, including drum & bass, sultry jazz, funk, dub, salsa and blues, this truly is a masterclass in the art of remixing."
Jez Torrance, Xfade
Jez Torrance, Xfade
"There's a nice, unreleased remix of Radiohead's 'Climbing Up The Walls' here, with FB's languid, shadowy approach providing an unusual counterpoint to Yorke's rueful warblings. Moloko's 'Lotus Eaters' is given a sparing, dubwise treatment, Lamb's 'Cotton Wool' is a pleasing exercise in electro-ecstasy and they do a fine rare groove restoration job on UNKLE's 'Berry Meditation'."
David Stubbs, Uncut
David Stubbs, Uncut
"Their crisp reprise of Radiohead's 'Climbing Up The Walls'is undoubtedly the pick of the bunch, reinventing Thom as the best singer Massive Attack never had. Equally it was Fila's drum 'n' space version of Lamb's debut single 'Cotton Wool' that was responsible for the initial excitement around a now barely memorable act."
Frank Tope, Select

According to Zeavin, these are just a few of the many examples that she says makes her and other women feel that they have tried everything short of federal intervention to try and improve campus life.
"At this moment we have exhausted all of our internal Yale resources to try and combat this," she said. "We feel like we must change the current Yale environment to one that is less hostile to women."
"We love our university and we want to see that change happen," she added. "We have simply asked the Office of Civil Rights to assist us in mediating that change."
Zeavin said that the next step in the investigation is for the agency to conduct a "climate check," during which it will send representatives to the campus to speak with the students and administration.
If Yale University is to be found in violation of Title IX, it could be denied federal funding.

Today's outfit is a mix of fall and summer staples - the temperatures here in St. Paul are getting cooler and I want to wear my favorite skirt a few more times before white eyelet is no longer seasonally appropriate.(I really hope Sealed with a Kiss makes this skirt style in fall and winter fabrics...are you listening, Sarah?) So I paired it with one of my new favorite fall tops- the black and red striped sweater from Forever 21. I'm also excited to be wearing one of my favorite pair of ballet flats, again. Let's hear it for transitional outfits!

Black and red striped sweater- Forever 21+
Black tank top- Gap

Seriously, Chuckrex does rock.
[edit] Regional Geohash
Someone brought that to attention in the IRC... You claimed a regional geohash for Washington some months ago. We don't think that counts, from the rules of the regional geohash. You probably just didn't read them well enough and made an error here... Point is, to earn the regional geohash achievement for the city of Washington you don't only need to visit coordinates in each graticule which has a part in the city of Washington, but all of those geohashed also need to be located within of the city. It doesn't really look like they do, or do they? So, go ahead and visit more geohashes until you really earn the achievement :) But in the meantime, it should be removed, to make it fair for those who go for a good effort to earn it by the rules. --Ekorren 18:43, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] June 20th at Arundel Mills
I'm heading through on Saturday, and the geohash is on the way. Want to meet up? -- Jevanyn 14:54, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Windshield washer fluid is stinky - what to do?
Asked by RocketGuy (7642
June 4th, 2012
The windshield washer fluid in my car has turned stinky. Smells like rotting sewer water. I have tried adding:
fresh biodegradable solvent (hint of ammonia)
fresh cold weather solvent (methyl alcohol)
apple cider vinegar
Nothing works. Is there anything else I can put in that won't destroy my windshield washer pump and/or hoses?

Bill Would Phase Out Boat Taxes in Kansas by 2016
Posted: February 12, 2013 | By: John Stearns [Wichitaw Business Journal]
Taxes on watercraft registered in Kansas would be phased out over the next three years under a bill introduced in the state House of Representatives last week.Voters in November approved a constitutional amendment clearing the way for the Legislature to change how watercraft are taxed. Currently, county property taxes are assessed on 30 percent of a watercraft's appraised value. Amendment proponents argued that Kansas' tax rates were far higher than neighboring states', resulting in boat owners registering their vessels out of state.

The staff who I dealt with today was extremely rude. Also didn't provide any helpful information to what I was enquiring about. Would not recommend this place at all!!!
I live locally and have often had my prescriptions filled at this pharmacy. It is conveniently located in the Westfield and has ample parking. About a year ago, the pharmacy often could not supply me with all my prescription items and asked me to return due to lack of stock. I believe during this time a lot of loyal customers like myself were upset due to lack of stock, however the staff were always very polite in situations were they could not supply me with my medicines and did all that they can for me including arranging stock at alternate pharmacies and calling me without fail when my item on order has come in. The staff were working to their ability to endure i had my medicines and i was really grateful for their service despite things that occur out of their control.
For the past several months I had been going to other pharmacies in the area and although the competitors are able to offer very low prices, they could not give the same shopping experience and professional advice from the pharmacists/nutritionist/ natropath i had gotten at Roy Young. I've since returned my loyalty and recommend my family and friends to shop there too as it seems like their stock shortages are no longer a problem. happy and healthy customer!

win8 activation trouble
i had to reinstall win8 last night cause the start button shell refused to work on the desktop.everything seemed normal, but i did notice in the bottom right corner it says "Windows 8 Pro with Media Center Build 9200." i did remember very briefly seeing this the other day when i first did the clean install, but this time it didnt go away. just a few minutes ago a screen popped up that asked for a key or gave the option to buy a new key. the part of the masked key that shows is not a part of the key i used. i tried to put the key in, but even though its pre-authorization check of the key said it works, it would not activate. so i went to control panel and tried it there, but the same thing. pre-authorization of the key said it works, but it wouldnt activate. seeing as how i did a clean install, but there are 2 other window OSs on the same hdd, but different partitions, i checked the regedit hack. it had a 0 like it should have to slmgr /rearm. weird that i didnt have this trouble the other day when i first clean installed, which tells me ms tweaked something to FORCE you to use install the win8 Pro upgrade on top of another older windows. the error window i get when i try to activate in control panel says "The product key you entered will not work with this edition of windows 8. ... You must either run windows 8 setup or enter a Windows 8 Pro with Media Center product key." WTH?! just cause i installed windows media center, it thinks that this is now a different version of windows 8?! is there a way to uninstall windows media center? i didnt see it listed on the program uninstall list. if not, i guess ill just have to try and run win8 pro upgrade from within itself and see if it will do an upgrade install that way, else ill have to put on winxp/7 first. apparently the old windows has to be on the same partition now. Last edited by ReverseHandedJO; 11-05-2012 at 08:36 AM.. This space for lease. |
For a limited time, get Windows 8 Media Center Pack for free **
http://windows.microso |
i googled and found out how to remove media center, but havent been about to restart just yet
removing media center worked, BUT win8 still showed 'window 8 with media center' in the lower right corner of the desktop and said the key was for the wrong version. so tonight i will reinstall for the second time and do an upgrade install over the top of the OS, but save nothing. Last edited by ReverseHandedJO; 11-05-2012 at 02:55 PM.. |
I have the same problem. Get the same error. I captured an image of a Win8 Pro w/ Media Center. I deployed the image to another PC. It wants to activate Windows. Fair enough. I plug in my Win8 Pro product key. I get this message: "The product key you entered will not work with this edition of windows 8. ... You must either run windows 8 setup or enter a Windows 8 Pro with Media Center product key." |
i believe what i did was nuke the whole thing and reinstall again. the second time around i made damn sure that win8 was activated (not just holding the entered key for win8) by going into control panel, then once i verified that i installed the WMC.
as others have taken note of, once you install WMC, win8 + WMC get a who different combination key. This is why it wasnt letting me activate win8. |
slui 4 at command line
Then do ROBO-CALL takes care of hanging activations |
Installing WMC with Win 8 Pro will change the Key to a new key that looks similar to the old key. I used Magic Jelly Bean Keyfinder to get the new key and save it for future re-installs. I think this is what your talking about...unless I am off base here.
I did have to do an automated phone activation...where you give them like 8 groups of numbers and then they give you a new set of 8 groups of numbers to activate. Last edited by repitall; 02-02-2013 at 11:28 AM.. |

Can you win the Super Bowl without a top 6 or 7 quarterback? It's a debate that's been transpiring on local sports radio for about a year now. The question has played out to perfection in the Divisional Round of the playoffs this year. With the rule changes in the NFL catering to offenses I was inclined to take the better QB in every game. Having the franchise QB means there is no deficit is too big to overcome and that one guy can single handedly win you the game. Being from around here and watching Tom Brady I know that having the right guy throwing the ball can mask almost every other deficiency on your team. Going back to Brady's first win in a Super Bowl there hasn't been a team to win the Super Bowl that didn't have a top 5 QB (except Brad Johnson in 2002).
Yesterday you had Peyton Manning who is an elite QB and got you to the number one seed when you were nothing more than a wild card last year with the same exact team. On a scale of great QB's in the NFL Manning would surely be up there and is definitely going to the Hall Of Fame when he hangs up the cleats. Just the addition of him alone got you from 8-8 to 13-3. On the other end of the spectrum you had a team in the Ravens led by the defense mostly and a QB that is not a top 10 guy. It truly was an example of QB verses the balanced team and for all of us that thought you needed the franchise QB to win in the playoffs we were stunned. The Ravens were balanced with a run-first approach, great defense and took their shots down field when they needed to.
In the next game you had Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers who is a top 3 QB and won the Super Bowl a couple years ago going up against the 49ers. On paper the 49ers have a much more balanced team being better on defense, special teams, running game and coaching, but the Packers have the stud at throwing the ball and the 49ers have the rookie QB. Once again the balanced team prevailed seemingly shutting the door on the debate.
I will be the first to admit I believed you needed that guy and if it came down to it I would pick the better QB in any game, but it seems that the flags come out less in the playoffs and defenses can actually shut down great QB's. Today is another pretty good example of this debate. The Falcons, with Matty Ice (who is a top 6 guy) verse the Seahawks and The Patriots, with Tom Brady verse the Texans. If it goes anything like yesterday's games the Pats might actually be in trouble. There is one slight difference and that is that I don't think the Texans running game is better than ours which gives us the complete edge on offense. Today is going to be another amazing day of football and another day the debate rages on; Would you rather have the elite QB or the more balanced team?

Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) January 04, 2013
Project Homeless Connect aided over 300 men and women, connecting them with health and social services including haircuts, the experience was as rewarding for the service providers according to Frances Fletcher of Belleza Hair Design. This was the first opportunity that Belleza Hair Design had to participate in the annual Project Homeless Connect a program of Milwaukee Continuum of Care.
Even with 15 years of experience, Frances shared that she learned new techniques and tricks not just from the other stylists, but the patrons of the event as well. The event was fast paced and there was sometimes a line while patrons waited their turn. Even with that pace, each client that sat in my chair I worked to connect with, "We laughed, we shared, we connected," shared Frances. After their haircut the men and women we served, were noticeably more confident and proud.
The goal of the event is to provide assistance to the growing population of homeless people with an opportunity to learn about programs, develop skills, and gain confidence to help them overcome their current obstacles.
Project Homeless Connect gave Frances the opportunity to serve the community through her craft and has left her wishing to give back again. Frances is looking forward to participating again next year. "I will be better prepared for the pace and some of the style requests," Frances jokes. Until then, Frances will focus on her current clients at Belleza Hair Design in Mequon. Belleza is a full service salon focused on precision hair design offering Brazilian Keratin Smoothing Treatments as well as Organic hair color line.

PENA = Present Explosive Nature Absent
I feel bad even writing anything without a positive spin about Tampa Bay Rays First Baseman Carlos Pena. It is painful to think that the Rays Republic might be headed for uncharted waters with Pena in the coming weeks if his bat doesn't respond in a surging manner. That we could even consider the collective thoughts of putting another body at his First Base position seems insane to me right now. Makes me almost sick to my stomach thinking that the charismatic Rays icon who had me all giddy with anticipation back in 2007 could possibly be spending his last season in a Rays uniform and surrounded in a cloak of offensive struggles.
Usually in a contract year you see the future Free Agent player hit for a higher average, or just blow you away with his overall abilities and you then do not even question not trying to sign the guy again. But right now, Pena is making a departure notice a bit easier with his slumping lumber and the Rays Front Office could be prudent in exploring unforeseen options for 2011. And that has me in a quandary trying to dissect and analyze his downward spiral this season. Pena's first class defense is still churning and burning on all cylinders, but the Home Run torque he once had in his might ash bat is slowing becoming….well expendable and unfortunately predictable.
It is difficult to consider this Rays team, that Pena has taken firmly under his long wingspan as his own, without seeing him firmly in the line-up every night. How long do we take the inconsistencies with the skyrocketing strikeout amounts and the rally-killing hitting into the shift with more regularity and look into another direction. It is difficult for me to think of another person or player even manning the First Base bag for the Rays, even on a short-term assignment. But that is why the Rays have power guys like Dan Johnson, Chris Richards and Leslie Anderson in our farm system…They are available explosive ammunition for the Rays offensive weapon.
When is enough, enough? Could Rays Manager Joe Maddon pull the plug on Pena in the coming days, or will Maddon wait until Pena himself or someone from the Rays Fourth floor brings the option up? Maybe what makes this idea seen remotely unfathomable is the fact Pena is truly one of the nicest and fan friendly guys in Major League Baseball. Pena is a Rays poster boy for giving back not only in the Tampa Bay community, but also to Haiti and his home country of the Dominican Republic with an undying regularity and vengeance.
Maybe it is the fact Pena is one of the best dressed MLB players who has an impeccable G Q mentality about himself and his wardrobe that I envy at times. Maybe it is the simple fact that his smile and his exploding dimples just makes the churning within me about his offensive frustrations all seem to melt away with a simple glance and head nod. Sometimes it just seems that you could pop Pena up at a podium during a National disaster and he could make it all seem a bit better with that great smile and those dimples doing that dance they do so well. Okay, maybe that last one is a bit far fetched, but you get my reasoning here. He is a likable guy who you want on your team.
The Rays currently have their former Gold Glove and Silver Slugger winner in a troubling slump where he is hitting at the sub basement level from the usually alarming Mendoza Line. Rays fans have not been as outwardly vocal towards calling out Pena for his recent unimpressive hitting level as they were with former Rays Vinny Castilla or Greg Vaughn. Some have mentioned it in passing, but no vocal storm warning or approaching turbulence has been sounded as of yet. But you can hear a few rumbles and grumbles in the background, and the storm clouds might be forming for Pena in the distance.
When is enough, enough? It is easy for Rays fans to Pena's past as ammunition to keep him in the Rays lineup because of the rationalization of how can you bench a star like Pena who less than a year ago celebrated his first All-Star gig just because his bat has suddenly become frozen solid? Next thing you know dogs and cat will be living together….total World anarchy! It has been a while since we have seen some masterful shots by Pena, who is currently mired in a 1-20 skid right now.
I like Pena as a person, a player and as a symbol to our community. He has been tall shoulders above any of our past Rays clubhouse leaders as a upfront, vocal and consistent positive influence to all who step within the Rays confines, but something is flawed right now within his baseball persona. Something is eating Pena's stroke away and his batting average is sinking quickly before our Rays eyes. His May monthly batting average was a paltry .120 ( 12 for100) with 3 Home Runs and 37 strikeouts and a sub par .250 Slugging Percentage. We have steadily watched his average hit a extreme landslide slope from a presentable .247 to a shocking .175 in the last 31 days.
With a decrease in your batting average has come other obstacles that block his forward progress. Pena currently leads the American League in strikeouts with 58, and his last homer against Boston starter Clay Bucholz on May 24, 2010 was his first within the home confines of Tropicana Field since April 28th. Last season, Pena was hitting Home Runs at a clip of one in every 12.08 at bats and became the first player in the live ball ear (since 1920) to lead his league in HR despite missing at least 25 games to end the season. The past accolades since Pena first put on a Rays uniform in 2007 are more than impressive. From his Roberto Clemente Award, to his first All-Star selection in 2009, Pena has always been a class act and a personable guy who always seemed to know what was right for this Rays squad.
It pains me to say it out loud, but maybe it is time for Pena to sit for a bit. Time for reflection, dissecting his hitting stroke and maybe re-adjusting this stance to hitting to the opposite field to take away this dang shift that is employed against him with regularity. Bunt the ball, half swing for a single through the hole at Third and Shortstop, anything to get the defense to play him honestly again. Maybe the Rays need to bring up Dan Johnson from the Durham Bulls to bring some extra power back into the fifth position in the Rays lineup. We are not giving up on Pena, just letting him reallocate his talents and focus full time on regaining his plate composure.
Great player know when enough is enough. And I truly think Pena knows he is struggling and not seeing the ball with extreme clarity right now. Pena is a fighter and might be trying to fight through this slump to keep his team in contention. But even with the most honest intentions here, something is lacking in the current Pena puzzle. Hopefully it is a phase that is nearing its conclusion because I would hate to see Pena go out like this because he has been a awesome class act for the Rays and deserves to go out with an loud explosive bang, not a single whimper.
Red Sox Dissect Rays Pitching for Win
here we are with the second half of the home and home series today in Fort
Myers. The Rays kind of put the Red Sox fans in the back of their seats
yesterday, but today's contest is a whole different ball game. Not only will the
Red Sox be in their home stadium, but they will have the multitudes of Red Sox
fans who love to cheer on their team. I do have to make a note that yesterday's
game had a total of 7,148 fans in and around the stadium, which is a new record
for this young stadium location. I do have to say that at some point in the
berms and the outfield it was total standing room
I do
have a huge suggestion to the Rays and the Sandcrabs for future games in this
stadium. It seems that we need a secondary speaker system throughout the
outfield section of the stadium. Maybe a series of those upside down speakers
that look like free standing light poles could be put in areas around the kids
area and near the boardwalk and Tiki Hut. You can hear the game, but you get a
delayed sight to sound response because of no audio out in that area of the
ball park. I play my game day audio from my laptop to hear it no matter where I
am in the stadium, but some games are not on the radio. Just a thought. Now
let's get back to our Sunday recap of the Rays versus the Red Sox
The Rays
sent Wade Davis, one of their top prospects from Triple-A to the mound today.
Davis has been tweaking a few of his pitches and has had a few outstanding
performances this spring. But he is penciled into be sent to the minor league
camp sometime in the near future to begin his season in Triple-A again for the
Durham Bulls. Davis will make his major league debut sometime in 2009 with the
club, but I do not see him winning the fifth rotation spot this spring. With
that said, another guy who might have pitched his way out of contention for the
fifth spot is Mitch Talbot. But if you really consider the top three pitchers
for the Rays at their Triple-A level in 2009 of David Price, Davis and Talbot.
There are club throughout baseball who would love to have that kind of
consistent staff starters in their
game got off to start with the Boston Red Sox sending Justin Masterson to the
mound. The wild thing about Masterson is that he can be in the same boat as Jeff
Niemann and Jason Hammel this year. He can be both a starter or a reliever for
the team and might make some heads turn with a great outing today. With Brad
Penny not throwing yet in Spring Training, he could get a start or two early in
the year, then settle into the Bullpen for 2009. Fernando Perez lead off for
the Rays today and quickly hit a grounder to Julio Lugo, who was
playing shortstop today for Boston. Adam Kennedy then struck out. Evan Longoria
then hit another grounder to Nick Green who threw out Longoria to end the
inning 1-2-3 for Boston.
Davis came out for the Rays and gave up a sharply hit single down the third base
line that eluded Longoria. Rocco Baldelli then came up and hit a ball to
Longoria that he quickly threw to Kennedy at second base to force out Lugo.
Jason Varitek then came up and struck out. J D Drew then walked to put me at
first and second base. Lars Anderson then hit a RBI single through the hole at
short into left field and the throw to the plate was cut off and Baldelli scored
to put Boston in front 1-0. Zack Deages then struck out to end the Boston rally
stranding two runners on base.
Masterson again came out for the top of the second inning and got
Carlos Pena to strike out to lead off the inning. Dioner Navarro then hit a long
fly ball to left field that Zack Daeges caught for the second out. Gabe Gross
then hit a single to right center field for the first Rays hot of the day.Morgan
Ensberg then came up and struck out to end the Rays chances in the
also again took the mound for the Rays and got Jonathan Van Every to hit a ball
down the first base line and covered first for a flip from Pena for the first
out. Green then took the first pitch from Davis and drilled it past the left
field fence and onto the adjacent field's dugout for a solo home run. Ivan Ochoa
then put a nice bunt down the third base line to get an infield single. Lugo
then came up and hit a screaming RBI double to left center field to easily score
Ochoa. Baldelli then struck out. Varitek came up and hit a single to left field
that split the outfielders, but Lugo tired to score from second base and was
thrown out at the plate by Ray Sadler in left field to end the inning. Boston
was ahead at that point 3-0 over the
Masterson came out for his third inning and quickly got Sadler to
hit a grounder to Lugo, who got him in time at first base. Elliot Johnson then
hit a fly ball to Drew in right field for the second out of the inning. Perez
then came up and hit a ball to the left of Masterson that he quickly picked up
and fired to first barely getting Perez in time. At that point, Masterson had
gone 3 innings and had given up only 1 hit, with 3 strike outs against the
came to the mound in the top of the third again for the Rays and got Drew to hit
a quick fly ball to Gross in right field for the first out. Anderson then
walked to give Boston their first runner of the inning. Daeges then hit a
2-run home run to right-center field. Van Every hit a foul pop-out to Longoria
and quickly the Red Sox had two outs in the inning. Green then came up and hit a
double to left field and after that Rays Manager Joe Maddon came out to make a
pitching change. The Rays brought in Calvin Medlock, who quickly gave up a RBI
single to Ochoa to right field. Lugo then came up and hit a double to left
field that scored Ochoa. For the day, Lugo went 3-3 against Rays pitching.
Baldelli then came up and hit a foul pop-up to first base to end the inning with
the Red Sox up 7-0.
In the fourth inning, the Red Sox sent closer Jonathan Papelbon to
the mound to face the Rays. He got Kennedy to strike out to lead off the inning.
Longoria then took his first pitch to right-center field for a single. Pena then
struck out to give the Rays one last out in the inning. Navarro hit a single to
left field, but Longoria stopped at second on the play. Gross then came up and
struck out to end the inning. Even though Papelbon gave up two hits in the
inning, all three outs were
Day came out for the Rays in the bottom of the fourth inning. He quickly got
Varitek to ground out. He then fooled Drew with a nice breaking ball for a
strikeout. Anderson then came on and hit a hard smash to Chris Richard, who was
now on first for the Rays. Day was backing up Richards on the play and Richards
tossed the ball to Day, who dropped the ball. Day was given an error on the play.
Daeges struck out to end the Red Sox
heralded prospect Daniel Bard then took the mound for the Red Sox. In a recent
game, Bard had thrown over 100 mph on the stadium's jugs gun. He got Ensberg to
strikeout for the first out of the inning. Sadler then followed with a
strikeout. Bard completed the trio as he got Johnson to also strike out to send
the Rays down 1-2-3 in the inning. At that point in the game, the Rays had
struck out swinging in six straight at bats, with only Gross being a called
third strike.
Day came
out again for the Rays and walked Van Every to lead off the inning. Green then
hit a fly out to Sadler that he easily caught for the first out. Ochoa was
fooled on a breaking pitch outside for a strikeout. Lugo then walked to give
Boston two men on base in the inning. George Kottaras then pinch hit and was hit
by the pitch to load the bases with two outs. With Varitek at the plate, Day
threw a wild pitch and Van Every tried to score from third base on the play.
Navarro quickly got the ball to Day, who tagged out Van Every before he reached
the plate for the third out of the
pitcher Junichi Tazawa then came on to pitch for Boston. Tazawa was the young
pitcher that did not go into the Japanese Baseball League before signing with
Boston this off season. He might not make the 25-man roster of the big club
this year, but this was the first time the Rays would see him pitch outside of
Japan. Tazawa's first pitch to Perez was rifled into center field for a lead
off single. Kennedy then hit a double into left center field that scored Perez
from first base. Longoria then struck out for the first out of the inning.
Richard also struck out, and Varitek threw a strike to third base to nail

Abreu then took the mound for the Rays. He got Varitek to quickly fly out to
right field for the first out. Josh Reddick, who came in to replace Drew in
right field then hit a fly ball to Johnson at shortstop. Anderson then hit a fly
to Longoria to complete the first 1-2-3 inning for the Rays today. But Boston
still lead 7-1 in the game. Tazawa came back out for the eighth inning and quickly got Reid
Brignac, who came in to play shortstop to strike out. He then got Ben Zorbrist,
who came in to play second base to fly out to center field, The Ensberg struck
out to give Boston a 1-2-3 inning against the

Daeges to lead off the inning. At that point, Abreu had gone 4-up, 4- down for
the Rays Maddon again came out and swapped Abreu for Chad Orvella with one out
in the inning. Orvella, who is fighting for a roster spot after coming back from
a shoulder injury gave up a towering solo shot to right field to the next
batter, Van Every. This is the second homer in two days against the Rays for Van
Every. Gil Velazquez then hit ball to Chris Nowak at third base. Nowak got off
a bad throw that seemed to two-hop before Richard dug it out at first for an out.
Ochoa ended the inning by striking
The Rays
sent Rule-5 player Derek Rodriguez to the mound for the 8th inning. Rodriguez,
who the Rays picked up off the Rule 5 draft from the Red Sox, quickly got
Argenis Diaz to fly out to right to start off the inning. Kottaras also hit a
long fly ball to right that Justin Ruggiano caught for the second out. Pinch

He then stole second base to put himself in scoring position for the Rays. Johnson then walked. The Rays then attempted a double-steal with Johnson and Ruggiano taking second and third base respectively. John Jaso the struck out for the first out of the inning. Jon Weber then hit a sacrifice fly to left field to score Ruggiano. Weber has no produced 7 RBI's in the last two games for the Rays. Chris Nowak then hit a pop-out to first base to end the rally for the Rays.
Jones took the mound to try and preserve the Red Sox victory. Jones is a
prospect in the Red Sox system who once broke his arm in three spots and had to
have multiple plates in his arm to heal the bones correctly. He gave up a
lead-off single to Richard to right center field. Brignac then struck out on a
nice called third strike. Zorbrist hit a ball to center that was easily caught
by Van Every. that left the Rays with one out to play with against the Red Sox.
Tim Beckham came up as a pinch hitter and hit a sharp ball to Diaz, but he
quickly threw the ball to end the game for the Rays. the final score was 8-2

Rays, the game seemed to bring out some impatience in the Rays batters. For the

the plate. Tomorrow the Rays will again travel to Fort Myers where they will

The Rip Chords
The Rip Chords were an American singing duo originally called the Opposites, composed of Phil Stewart and Ernie Bringas. This original twosome (Phil and Ernie) eventually expanded into four primary voices, adding Columbia producer, Terry Melcher and co-producer, Bruce Johnston best known as a member of the Beach Boys. The group came to be associated with the hot rod and surf genres of the day, although their first single release, "Here I Stand", did not reflect those styles. They recorded at Columbia Records in Hollywood from 1962-1965. The group placed five singles on the Billboard Hot 100. They are best known for their number four single, "Hey Little Cobra", one of the highest ranking hot rod songs of all time.
Bruce & Terry were Bruce Johnston and Terry Melcher. The pair were instrumental in the development of surf rock, recording under a variety of names and created the band The Rip Chords.
They began working together while Johnston was a well-known session musician and Melcher, the son of actress/singer Doris Day, had a minor solo career as Terry Day before becoming the youngest staff record producer in Columbia Records' history. Together, they began recording as Terry recorded and also helped produce the 1963 album "Surfin' Round the World," which is the first instance of the usage of the surf-rock sound.
Producing a 'surf-frat' band called The Rip Chords, whose "Here I Stand" had reached #51 in early 1963, they ended up taking over most of the vocal parts on that band's Beach Boys soundalike hit "Hey Little Cobra" in 1964 (along with Rip Chords band members, Phil Stewart, Rich Rotkin, Arnie Marcus and Ernie Bringas). The song was the first in a series of hit singles (most of which were released under the name Bruce & Terry), reaching #4 on the U.S. pop charts.
Johnston later joined The Beach Boys, whilst Melcher became a full time producer. On November 19, 2004, Melcher died at his home after a long battle with melanoma. He was 62 years old.

A Dual Disenfranchisement: 2013 Update
Voting Rates of Women of Color Have Increased Since 2008

Coming out of the 2012 presidential election, women's role in determining its outcome—the so-called gender gap—was a dominant narrative. Women played a large part in President Barack Obama's re-election, with 55 percent voting for him compared to 44 percent supporting his Republican rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
A parallel narrative last November was that of the potential of the rising electorate—the demographic populations that are increasingly becoming larger segments of the voting-eligible population—influencing election outcomes. Women of color are a particularly important demographic because they stand at the center of the intersection between the rising electorate and the women's vote.
In this brief, we update the numbers from our October 2012 report, "A Dual Disenfranchisement: How Voter Suppression Denies Reproductive Justice to Women of Color," which described how women of color are voting at increasing rates yet have been more at risk of disenfranchisement as attacks on voting rights have persisted. This update reflects the most recent data available from the Census Bureau on the voting turnout rates of people of color and women, focusing specifically on the voting power of women of color.
The gender gap
Much has been made of the historic gender gap in the 2012 election. Women were the majority of voters overall, as well as the majority of voters who supported President Obama. Indeed, the gap between the women who voted for President Obama and the men who voted for Gov. Romney was among the largest ever recorded.
The new Census data show that not only were women more likely to vote for the president, they were also more likely to vote overall, which further increased their influence in the outcome of the election.
The rising electorate
The rising electorate encompasses people of color, unmarried women, and young people. Over the past 12 years, members of the rising electorate, especially people of color, have steadily increased their electoral participation. They have become a growing segment of both the overall U.S. population and the voting-eligible population itself.
Reflecting on the Census reports, commentators have already begun to remark on the fact that overall, black voter turnout surpassed white voter turnout. While Latino turnout rates declined slightly from 2008, their share of the electorate grew, rising from 7.4 percent to 8.4 percent in 2012.
Women of color at the intersection
Women of color stand at the intersection of the rising electorate and the gender gap. They currently make up 18 percent of the United States population, and by 2050 the Census Bureau estimates that they will comprise 27 percent of the population. And while the gender gap was found to transcend race, it was sharpest among women of color.
In examining the exit polls from the 2012 election, it is clear that women of color provided the crucial votes that comprised the gender gap. While 42 percent of white women voted for President Obama, 96 percent of black women and 76 percent of Latinas voted for him, leading to a cumulative 55 percent of all women voting for him. Indeed, President Obama did not win white women and, in fact, would have lost the women's vote without the overwhelming support of women of color.
As we noted in our 2012 report, women of color have been voting at increasing rates since 2000, showing dramatic growth over time. In 2008 black women's turnout outpaced white women's for the first time, and their turnout only grew in 2012, breaking 70 percent—a new record. Particularly noteworthy is the steady growth of voter turnout rates of Asian and Pacific Islander, or API, women, which have nearly doubled since 2000, when the Census Bureau first started recording API voter turnout rates. In 2000 24.5 percent of API women voted. In contrast, 48.5 percent voted in 2012. According to Census Bureau data, APIs are the fastest-growing racial group in the general population.
And in 2012, for the first time, women of each race and ethnicity turned out both at greater rates and also in higher numbers than the men in their respective race and ethnic groups, according to the Census data.
So what does this all mean?
Women of color stand at the center of the rising electorate and were the driving force behind the gender gap. They are more likely to vote than the men in their communities, and they are voting at dramatically increasing rates.
This doesn't come as a great surprise, considering that women of color are disproportionately affected by a variety of critical issues. Some examples include:
- Reproductive rights: All women of color have experienced various forms of reproductive oppression, both throughout history and still to this day. From forced sterilization, childbearing, and removal of their children to restrictions on immigration visas based on hypersexualized myths to targeting of pregnant women of color for drug testing, the examples abound. Women of color are also disproportionately impacted by laws such as the Hyde Amendment, which restricts Medicaid coverage of abortion services.
- Pay equity: Women on average earn 77 cents for every dollar a man earns for comparable work. In comparison, African American and Latina women earn 64 cents and 55 cents, respectively, for every dollar a man earns.
- Immigration reform: Family reunification, protection for survivors of sexual violence and trafficking, and access to health care are all crucial issues that need to be addressed in immigration reform.
The votes cast by women of color were crucial to the outcome of the 2012 election, and the issues that matter to them should remain at the forefront.

In recent years almost everyone has been using some sort of a digital device to send info "back home" from the bivy. Everyone on this site can attest to the benefits of that. Most folks are tech savy enough to handle something like that. Having a choice of using an app on their crackberry or shyPhone to highlight their books and add exclamation marks may well be welcomed by some folks. The biggest challenge would be coming up with the device and making it good enough for the rigors of rally and desert racing. I truly believe that such a gadget can be developed with all the material and tech available to us. All of the safety aspects that Hog just mentioned would be huge pluses and you could make an argument life saving propositions. I mean it is all really good food for thought. The last paragraph in Hogs post pretty much sums it up. An aid which if developed properly could be come a lot more. cost is a big thing anywhere but a good product will usually be worth the price btw thanks for taking the time to read my loooong winded posts I have some time to type while waiting for things to RIP on my printer hehe (oh paper) ArthDuro screwed with this post 05-09-2011 at 08:24 AM |

Smoky cigarette plant fire-New York
HOGANSBURG, N.Y. (AP) - By the time a dozen firefighters put out
the blaze at a cigarette manufacturing plant, they were covered in
"When they came out, they were blacker than the ace of
spades," said Fire Chief Frank Lacaranza.
Firefighters were called to the Native Trading Post warehouse on
Christmas Eve after a night security guard noticed smoke billowing
out of the building.
Lacaranza said it appeared the fire started in the wiring of one
of the machines used to make cigarettes. The fire broke out
sometime after the plant closed for the day Wednesday, Lacaranza
"It was smoldering in there for a while, and when we got there
it was pretty intense," he said.
The plant was full of products used to make cigarettes including
tobacco, filters, paper and cardboard boxes.
It took firefighters about three hours to extinguish the blaze
that started on the first floor of the warehouse.
"We were able to contain it there, but the rest of the place
suffered extensive heat and smoke damage," Lacaranza told the

Shifting Losses: The Impact of Fannie's and Freddie's Conservatorships on Commercial BanksJulie Andersen HillUniversity of Alabama - School of Law April 18, 2012 Hamline Law Review (Symposium Issue), Vol. 35, p.343, 2012 U of Houston Law Center Abstract: In fall 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) placed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in conservatorship. As conservator, the FHFA has control over the operations of both companies, but it faces conflicting mandates. On the one hand, the FHFA is tasked with stabilizing the secondary mortgage market and providing access to mortgage credit. Achieving this task encourages Fannie and Freddie to absorb some mortgage-related losses. On the other hand, the FHFA is tasked with returning Fannie and Freddie to financial health. For Fannie and Freddie to return to financial health, they must minimize their losses, perhaps by passing those losses along to commercial banks. This Article examines how the FHFA as conservator resolves its conflicting mandates. The Article examines the FHFA's key loss-shifting decisions and the impact of those decisions on commercial banks. In particular, it inspects (1) the FHFA's decision to allow Fannie and Freddie to continue their activity in the secondary mortgage market, (2) the FHFA's decision to allow the Department of the Treasury to recapitalize Fannie and Freddie in a way that resulted in large losses for holders of Fannie and Freddie stock, and (3) the FHFA's decision to enforce Fannie's and Freddie's rights against sellers of mortgages and private-label mortgage-backed securities. The Article concludes that as a result of its conflicting mandates, the FHFA has allowed Fannie and Freddie to absorb losses — particularly when those losses would otherwise have been transferred to the large, systemically important banks. In other instances, the FHFA has shifted Fannie and Freddie losses to small community banks. Such loss transfer practices have the potential to cause undue consolidation in the banking industry and exacerbate the problem of financial institutions that are too big to fail. While such loss transfer practices may be consistent with the FHFA's conflicting mandates, they are troubling because the FHFA's decisions are often made behind closed doors with little opportunity for the public to determine whether the FHFA is striking the right balance between its market stabilization and loss prevention goals. This Article urges the FHFA to adopt disclosure practices that will allow the public to evaluate the Enterprises' loss-shifting policies.
