No, they do not. The German Shorthaired Pointer does not have spots on its body. What you most likely saw was a Dalmatian cross or some other type of cross -- possible for it to be a German Shorthaired pointer/English Setter cross. 3/16/2015 3:25:52 PM
Yes they do come gray with black spots although they are very rare they are from Germany I had a black and White one that was beautiful. You can research and see them online. 3/16/2015 4:17:15 PM

Exercise, exercise and more exercise. Throwing in a little bit of mental stimulation as well. The German Shorthaired Pointer needs an average of 2 hours of hard running exercise a day. An hour in the morning and an hour at night. Raw meaty bones and antlers are the best for your dog to chew on through-out the day so she doesn't get bored and chew on your things. As well as enrolling her with Positive Reinforcement Training classes to help teach her boundaries through-out the house inside and out.12/19/2014 4:13:57 PM

Your GSP puppy is 5 months old. She needs structure, exercise and obedience. Do not allow her to be rambunctious inside the house, tether her to you, crate her, or pen her into a specific area. Give her appropriate things to chew on and make sure other things such as shoes, blankets and children's toys are out of her reach. Things to give her to chew on include raw/meaty bones, antlers, bully-sticks and rope toys.9/30/2014 10:15:03 PM
As for your GSP digging, make sure her nails are trimmed short, and watch her when she is outside. Do not allow her to be alone outside. If she has already dug a hole, bury her poop in the hole. When she tries to re-dig the hole, she will find poop and not want to dig anymore. She is also old enough to go on at least a 45 minute leashed walk, or 30 minutes off leash (in a fenced area) romp. Puppy obedience class is also a good thing to attend now, as this will give you the tools to control and communicate with your dog as she grows. Contact your local positive reinforcement trainer for available classes.9/30/2014 10:15:10 PM
Every morning you can, take your Pointer outside to the dog park and let her run around for a while. Also take her for long walks in the evening. To calm nerve muscles, massage and brush your dog at night.
Your pup may be teething. Give your dog many durable toys, and a few soft ones to ease and relax her mouth and gums. (This is my second reply to this ?, I have more said.) -vet2b12/16/2014 1:25:47 PM
There is no average weight for a German Short Haired Pointer at that age. But when you got your pup, you should have gotten vet paper's as well. The vet paper's would tell you her weight the last time she was at the vet, as long as it is within 7 pounds of that weight (the pup should have gone in anytime between 7 - 8 weeks old), then your pup is fine. But consulting your vet is the best bet to make sure your pup is well nourished and at a healthy weight.7/24/2014 10:25:57 PM
The height and weight of a puppy all depends on the linage of the pup. Contact your breeder and look at the parents. If the parents are slightly below average, average or above average on either height, weight or both; then you'll have a good idea at where your puppy should be. Food is also a consideration. A high quality, grain-free puppy food is the best thing you can give your puppy and will help him grow healthy, with lean muscle. But on average, he is at a good size. Although, contacting your breeder first, and vet second will conclude as to where your puppy should be with size at his age. If you are also able to get in contact with the people that have his litter mates, you could compare sizes there as well.6/17/2014 2:04:49 PM
Hi, my male GSP pup is 18 weeks and weighs just over 30lbs and the vet said he is a good weight. Don't know if this helps? 9/21/2014 5:57:05 AM
The German Short haired Pointer reaches maturity at 1 year old. So at 6 months, the dog should be of relative size, maybe an inch or so less then the average. The average height of the adult female G.S.H.P is 58–63 cm.7/11/2014 11:29:13 AM
We adopted a 7 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer who bonded with us immediately and fit quite well with the other three shorthairs and cats we had. We also babysat a 6 yr old female for several weeks at a time while her family was out of the country and she fit right in too. Later when our children came along they were all wonderful with the kids. Shorthairs have been called "velcro" since they tend to stick close to their owners and that has absolutely been our experience whether adopting them as pups or older dogs. They are incredibly smart but are also very strong willed and absolutely must have lots of room to run. What I love about them is they never realize they're old and will push themselves to remain active and playful till the end. As far as house training, from our experience they can learn anything quickly with firm and consistent training. At 9 she may have urine leakage (ours did as do many fixed older dogs) which is easily cleared up with a daily pill from the vet.10/7/2012 10:33:45 AM
Never too old to bond and love. Giving your German Shorthaired Pointer ample attention and accepting her into your family she will thrive. They are smart and love to learn but don't get in an argument or use a heavy hand ... Invest in a crate for when you are going to leave the home, and she cannot come, it can also prevent accidents. But know that at 9 she isn't young - and a little more patience may be required. And until you really know any dog - regardless of breed, do not leave her with your 3 year old, that just common sense. 10/8/2012 12:03:19 AM
Wow your German Shepherd is HUGE! Most males don't break 70 lbs. Are you sure she is purebred? Sounds like there may be a lab mixed in.2/24/2014 5:41:54 PM
My male GSP is 91 lbs and as beautiful as any picture. People that know the breed say hes a monster sized GSP. He was given to me at a year old the vet flipped out on his size.1/6/2015 10:28:18 PM
The underbelly hair is sparse. Extreme cold, throw a jacket on them and limit exposure because of their ears being big, thin and exposed.9/1/2012 12:01:50 PM
Grain is horrible for dogs, and living on a horse farm, mine have gotten into it, and usually gives them an upset stomach. Stay AWAY from grain or foods with grain, premium is the best.
Instead there are better ways to go about this, try peanut butter on a peice of bread ever after afternoon. Or putting scrambled eggs in your dogs food a courple times a week. In the end it may just be her/his build. 10/7/2012 11:04:58 PM
I had a female GSP that would howl when I asked her too. They make a range of noises and each dog has a different 'voice' just we do. Having said that many people use a bark collar to stop unwanted barking. It is voice activated and gives a low voltage electric shock providing negative feedback to the unwanted behavior. It does not harm the dog.12/14/2012 12:06:56 PM
yes pointers are pack dogs and get along with others well8/13/2012 3:09:11 AM
They are sweethearts and are a loving gentle breed. They are very patient with kids8/13/2012 3:10:47 AM
GSP's love to jump and lick faces so kids struggle with the over jealous affection but they are great with kids.9/1/2012 12:03:26 PM
I am surprised to hear you have a puppy that is only 6 weeks old!!! Most breeders would not think of taking the puppy away from the litter until at least 8 weeks of age-- that could be most of the problem. I got both of my GSP at the age of 8 weeks old. They were both super easy to potty train and they both only got up one time during the night to go to urinate (for about 4 days), then they both slept right through the night. They both were completely potty trained in less than 2 weeks-- no issues at all!8/27/2014 12:25:48 AM
My GSP is 3 and still eats everything, and there have been no problems with her health. I've learned that it helps if you give them lots of chew toys, rawhides work best for me. Avoid flavored bones, my dogs like to rip of chunks and eat them, which is often followed by puking.5/19/2012 11:35:42 AM
AGree with the first respondent about flavored bones. Also, Greenies are a problem. They swallow big chunks that get stuck in their throat, and then they puke. We buy lots of chew toys, which in turn are destroyed, but at least it's not your furniture. Experiment to see which ones they like best.5/22/2012 10:44:25 AM

You probably saw a weimaraner, which is a closely related breed. They are a great breed, equally good with children. My second weim was the best dog I have ever had.4/25/2012 10:08:22 PM
yes the GSP can be grey in color - solid, ticked or patched). It is a result of a mutation in the MLPH gene and is known as Dilution. A dilute grey pup carries two copies of this recessive allelle and its parents must both be carriers. Since its unlikley anyone would knowingly breed two carriers of the gene, the parents are likely of the liver and white phenotype. there is now a test for the gene so breeders can test parents before breeding them but its a new test and not all breeders do genetic tests so you might occasionally see a grey GSP.The grey pups can be registered with the AKC but the grey color is considered a disqualifying fault in the show ring. 9/12/2013 11:46:06 AM
Another possibility is that GSP that you saw was a black roan GPS. With the mix of black and gray all over in the roan shading, most black roan GPS like gray. I have a black roan GPS that is 8 months old, and sooo many people refer to him as being gray or blue.8/27/2014 12:37:34 AM
Hair... as the name implies German shortHAIR. 4/17/2012 11:17:00 PM
As an owner of a 10 year old female GSP, I can't recommend having her outside all the time. She could be outside while you were gone, but when you're home, they want to be with you. They're very attached and tuned in to their people and need to be by your side when you're home. I do realize they are quite rambunctious and with two young kids, can be part of the riot! Playing ball inside or out will get her energy needs taken care of. And lots of walks, off leash if there's a place locally.1/29/2012 9:01:07 PM
If you want your gsp to be a complete animal when indoors, by all means leave her outside. A gsp is a type of dog that has certain personality characteristics you learn to tolerate. It is part of the family and should be treated like one your children. she wants to be at your side at all times. Learn to accept her as your shadow.9/1/2012 12:08:21 PM
This is why - people should research breeds before buying. No she will not do "okay" outside. My gsp mix, is my shadow. If I left him outside, he would get angry, and probably distructive. Much like my boarder collies I fostered.... And I can tell you first hand - if a dog is social and loving, and you leave it outside and treat it as un-wanted... It will have socialization issues - and more than likely you will pass it off to someone else, and eventually it will or could end up in a shelter. I have seen it, in many breeds. So before you ruin your dog, try contacting a rescue group, and explaining, you didn't researh before you bought a dog. --- Just think, would you put your kids outside, because they made a mess, or would you teach them acceptable behavior ?? -10/7/2012 11:13:18 PM
I find it sad that you would buy a puppy and then want to leave it outside because your house is not big enough-- you really should have thought that through before purchasing the puppy. Puppies need love and socialization and GSP are one of the most loving breed that is very close to their owners-- you will completely crush that dogs spirit if you put it outside.8/27/2014 12:34:14 AM
I live in MIchigan, which has similar weather. If you take your GSP on streets that are salted, you might want to get boots. Also, they get ice inbetween their toes and being that they're webbed, she will start biting at them if you don't reach down and clean them out. She will LOVE running but start with fewer miles until she's a little older and can handle the distance (8-9 months). Once she's older, she'll outrun you, I guarantee it! She should be okay without a coat unless it's in the teens. I put a coat on mine when it's below 25 or so and/or windy. They have some that are waterproof that just clip underneath.1/29/2012 9:06:50 PM
You can't take your GSP puppy running until she is fully grown at 1 to 1 1/2 year. Running before can seriously damage her joints. A coat is definitely a good idea for the winter and in order to protect her paws against salt on the streets you should consider boots or a special wax for dog paws.
Nadine1/30/2012 5:23:59 PM
GSP's will out last you by far but take into consideration her ears in extreme cold. When they are about a year to a year and a half is when you'll witness their boundless energy.9/1/2012 12:10:54 PM
We live in the same type area,on 2 acres. Started training our dog at 6 mo. of age on a in ground fence. It's been approx.a month, and I'm confident she is contained at this point. We haven't experienced letting her out with wild life in the yard, where I'm sure when she's out wild life would not approach.1/22/2012 10:26:19 AM
I put my GSP on the invisible fence at 4 months. She was a quick learner and really only went thrugh to greet the neighbor and his kids. She didn't take interest in other animals and birds until she was about a year old and she barks and chases birds constantly but respects her boundaries even when the collar is off. She may test them every few months bush I suggest a remote e collar to train her to respond to your call because they will tune you out if not trained of a consequence for not responding to you. I take mine everywhere and she knows her boundaries based on the lawn mower trails in the yards without ever being there before!!!9/1/2012 12:17:23 PM
I have an 8 month old male GPS and a 18 month old female GPS. They were both trained on the invisible fence at about 4.5/5 months old. They learned in 2 days not to test the boundaries anymore. I have never had any issues with my male ever trying to leave the yard (even if he is chasing the decoy and it rolls past the shock point, he will just stop dead in his tracks and sit until I get the decoy-- he won't even try to test the boundaries. My female went through it 3 times (in over a whole year period) because we went next store to the neighbors and she got sooo excited she ran over...Once you bring them back through and they get the shock coming back in, they learn real quick not to try that again! She had not even dare try in a long time! We really love the invisible fence-- we have it at home and up at our camp on 3.5 acres-- the dogs respect the boundaries8/27/2014 12:47:56 AM
As long as the GSP is not fully grown you have to be careful not to over exercise. Ours is 3 months old and a 2 mile run seems to be fine. I wouldn't walk longer than that though until at least 6 or 7 months of age. 1/30/2012 5:28:23 PM
I beleive the English Pointer has a heavier looking body.3/30/2012 11:39:14 AM
A german shorthaired pointer has much more bone then a english pointer. They also have a more square head peice a true pointer will have a slight dish face 11/12/2012 12:23:16 PM
The English pointer also usually has a long skinny tail and a GSP usually has their tail cropped.8/27/2014 1:02:55 AM
I do not believe your GPS will get any heavier. At 12 months, they are most likely at there max height and usually weight as well ( they might fill out a little in the chest after that) but mine was about 48 pounds at 12 months-- three months later at 15 months she was 51 pounds and now at 18 months she is still 51 pounds. So, it is likely that he is at his maturity growth now.8/27/2014 12:52:13 AM
This is just a guess, but ask your vet if the spot could be a button tumor or puppy strangles. I was told by my vet that both of these are somewhat rare conditions, but my pup had one of these. We used cortizone cream twice a day and it cleared up. Good luck. 11/25/2011 2:52:19 PM

I don't think you would have any problems if you get a puppy...10/11/2011 10:52:05 AM
I have an English pointer/ walker coonhound mix and he has never attacked anything makes lots of noise "points" but doesn't attack4/3/2012 9:36:08 AM
I have three registered GSPs and are excellent hunters, but will only hunt when I say Hunt em up. we also have a African Grey Parrot and a Large Greenwing Macaw and anything you introduce to them they will except as part of the heard and will even protect them. I have pictures of my MaCaw standing on top of my one GSP. They all were intruduced to our outside cats and they play and except them, but let a different cat enter the yard and they will chase it away.7/11/2012 3:55:51 PM
GSP's do demand alot of attention and affection. I don't think I would leave one in the crate for 8 to 9 hrs. Maybe if you could come home at lunch to let it out and exercise it a bit...Just a suggestion.10/11/2011 10:51:08 AM
My vet told me a good rule of thumb is that a puppy can be crated for 1 hour longer than however months old they are...so for an 8 week old (2 months) old puppy, you can crate for 3 hours-- a e month old puppy for 4 hours-- a 4 month old puppy for 5 hours--etc... By 7 months old, the puppy should be able to hold his bladder for an entire 8 hour work day. I crate both my GPS puppies and I only had one accident one time and I think that is because I didn't watch to make sure he urinated before I put him in. I would not recommend putting an 8 week old puppy or even a 4 month old puppy in a crate for an entire day-- either let them out at lunch or maybe a neighbor or family member can until he/she is old enough to hold it for 8 hours.8/27/2014 1:01:01 AM
The older a dog is, the more laid back that it is.The close they are to the German lines, the more laid back that they are.They were initially bred by German peasants to hunt with on the masters land & were hidden in their hits with them.They love their people and are known as "velcro" dogs, they love to be with their people.They MUST have exercise, preferably with you, like running, rollerblading or lots of catch,& then snuggle on the couch! 9/18/2011 10:23:38 PM
gsp german short haired gwp german wirehaired pointer11/24/2011 12:42:46 PM
Yes, I have two GSP's and a bunny. The bunny as of now is in a cage, but I know people who have trained their dogs to be accostumed to them, and sometimes the dog lets the bunny sit on it's head :) it's so cute.8/1/2011 9:35:17 AM
Although I do not know why I also have a GSP that wants to carry all his toys or balls at once. My concern is that his favorite ball is smaller and he picks it up 1st which scares me he may get it lodged in his throat.He is 3 yrs old now and so far never gotton choked. Amazing how much they can fit in their mouth at once.7/19/2011 9:35:51 AM

Past Research
Jamaican Lexicography Project (Jamlex)
The Jamaican Lexicography Project (Jamlex) aims to produce for Jamaican (Creole) an electronic dictionary on historical principles.
The Jamaican Lexicography Project (Jamlex) aims to improve on and update the work of Frederic G. Cassidy, Robert B. Le Page, and other researchers who have documented the lexicon of Jamaicans. The overarching goal of the project is to create a dictionary of Jamaican (possible title: Jamaican National Dictionary) on historical principles. Owing to the lack of resources, the project's initial phase will be essentially a contrast lexicon, but hopefully as it grows, Jamlex will be able to provide a more complete coverage of the lexicon. Taking advantage of recent trends in the field of lexicography, Jamlex's output will be chiefly electronic, with print publications being secondary in nature. The route of eletronic publishing offers several advantages, e.g. low or no cost to the end user, and speedy updates, just to name two.

Kent State Sociology Professor Ranks Influential on TwitterPosted Apr. 2, 2012
David Purcell, assistant professor of sociology, is influencing his colleagues in the field of sociology and his followers – one tweet at a time.
WorldWideLearn.com, a directory of online, campus and training courses and degree programs, recently recognized Purcell as one of the Top 50 Influential Sociology Professors on Twitter.
Purcell says he is surprised by the recognition and he is pleased that his influence is being recognized. Purcell uses Twitter as a tool to spread scholarly information to the public.
"It's important to communicate outside of the academic arena and for the public to know more about our research, so I try to reach out to everyone," Purcell says. "I am fortunate that my career allows me to engage people in the field. Twitter has also enabled me to communicate with academics at other universities and in other disciplines that I might not have met otherwise."
He says he mainly posts ideas and links to articles regarding his specialized area of sociology, including inequality in social class, gender, race, neighborhoods and culture. Purcell posts information about his personal interests, such as sports and music, too.
Department of Sociology Chair Richard Serpe explains that Twitter is an effective form of communication, and he thinks Purcell is successfully using the social media tool.
"In education, we are always trying to legitimate the relevance of our analysis. Like many, and a growing number of young faculty within higher education, Dave Purcell has found that using social media is one effective modality," Serpe says. "Obviously, given the number of people who follow him on Twitter, his ability to communicate sophisticated ideas in this form is exceptional, just like his classroom teaching."
Purcell ranks among professors from prestigious universities, such as Duke University, Harvard University, Columbia University and Northwestern University.
WorldWideLearn.com chose the top sociology professors based on the following criteria:
- The quality of their tweets;
- The college or university they work for;
- Their number of followers; and
- How actively involved they are
The professors are not ranked chronologically from 1 to 50; it is just a comprehensive listing.
Serpe says Purcell is included with major sociologists who are at major universities and who are considered among the best in the field, making this a proud moment for the Department of Sociology and the university. "Kent State University is lucky to have such a dedicated faculty member who thinks teaching is not only honorable, but something that goes far beyond the walls of the university," he says.
With this designation, Purcell has gained 50 additional followers giving him more than 1,130 followers.

Softball Battles to Conference Split with Lees-McRae on Sunday Afternoon
March 7, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Lees-McRae College and Pfeiffer University battled to a split in a Conference Carolinas softball doubleheader on Sunday afternoon at Jack Ingram Field. The Lady Bobcats used a six-run fourth inning in game one en route to an 8-2 victory while the Lady Falcons benefitted from a complete game shutout by Allison Braswell (Asheboro, NC) in a 3-0 game two win. Pfeiffer evens their record at 10-10 overall, 3-3 inside conference play. Lees-McRae also squares their marks at 7-7, 1-1.
GAME ONE: Lees-McRae 8, Pfeiffer 2
Pfeiffer struck first in the initial inning on a Sarah Waylock (Cary, IL) single that scored Mariah Chalk (Hickory, NC). The Lady Falcons would hold that lead until the fourth when the Lady Bobcats blew game one open with a half-dozen runs.
Anna Carter (Hurdle Mills, NC) and Nicole Baxter (Denver, NC) traded one out doubles to even the contest at one apiece, before Jessica Travers (Fletcher, NC) belted her first of two long balls in the game with a blast to straight-away center field. Magen West (Whitney, TX) had the other pair of RBI with a two-out single to right while Lees-McRae also took advantage of one Pfeiffer miscue to tally another run.
Travers struck again in the fifth with another round-tripper to center while Pfeiffer's Heather Nobles (Angier, NC) hit her team-leading third homer in the seventh. West earned the win in the circle tossing all seven frames allowing two runs, one earned, on six hits with three strikeouts.
GAME TWO: Pfeiffer 3, Lees-McRae 0
In the nightcap, Braswell surrendered just six hits with four strikeouts in the complete-game shutout. Pfeiffer's first run came again in the first as Amber Johnson (Spokane, WA) notched the RBI with a single to center that brought home Kylee Nichols (McMinville, OR), who began the frame by reaching on an error.
The final pair of runs would plate in the fifth as Waylock drove in Nichols with a fielder's choice while Kirsten Patterson (Anthem, AZ) would later double in Johnson. Johnson and Sam Taylor (Surrey, British Columbia) each had a pair of hits in the game two victory with Nobles and Johnson each having three for the twin-bill. Paula Fryar (Clinton, NC) had a couple of hits in game two, leading the Lady Bobcats with her three total hits on the afternoon.

|ACH Surgeons Begin Clinical Trial to Evaluate Xiao Procedure
All Children's has begun a clinical research trial of a surgical procedure that holds promise for treating neurogenic bladder in children with spina bifida or spinal cord injuries.
The three-year, blinded, IRB-approved study will involve children with spina bifida or spinal cord injuries. It began in mid-March with eight children who underwent surgery. Seven were spina bifida patients who were already undergoing surgery for spinal cord detethering; half also underwent the "Xiao procedure" that All Children's physicians are evaluating. The eighth patient, whose bladder dysfunction was a result of surgery during his infancy to remove a spinal cord tumor, had surgery specifically to undergo the Xiao procedure.
The Xiao procedure was developed by Chuan-Guo Xiao, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Urology at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, People's Republic of China. The Xiao procedure, developed during NIH-funded research in the U.S. and China, has been performed on some 1,500 adults and children in the People's Republic. Pediatric urologist Yves Homsy, M.D. became interested in the procedure last year after meeting Professor Xiao at an International Children's Continence Symposium in Hong Kong.
Dr. Homsy and pediatric neurosurgeons Gerald Tuite, M.D. and Luis Rodriguez, M.D., subsequently visited Professor Xiao to review his results and learn the technique. They are working together in the clinical research trial at ACH.
The Xiao procedure involves an intradural re-routing of lumbar to sacral nerves to provide a new pathway for voluntary bladder emptying. After the "skin-CNS-bladder" reinnervation procedure, the bladder and bowels are activated when the patient vigorously scratches a spot on the thigh. Following surgery, neurological healing and nerve regeneration take at least eight months.

Dynamics of Population Aging in Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) Countries, Census Microdata Samples: Bulgaria, 1992 (ICPSR 2200)
Principal Investigator(s): United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Population Activities Unit
The main objectives of this data collection effort were to assemble a set of cross-nationally comparable microdata samples based on the 1990 national population and housing censuses in countries of Europe and North America, and to use these samples to study the social and economic conditions of older persons. The samples are designed to allow research on a wide range of issues related to aging, as well as on other social phenomena. The Bulgarian 1992 Census dataset provided information on the type and size of dwelling units, amenities such as flush toilets, baths/showers, and kitchens, and the type of utility systems that were available. Also covered are the characteristics of the buildings within which these dwelling units were located. Demographic and socioeconomic information on household members includes age, sex, ethnic background, household size and composition, marital status, disabilities, education, religion, employment status, and occupation.

A personal sartorial dilemma—shopping for jeans—prompted Fisher to open his first casual-clothing store in San Francisco with his wife, Doris, in 1969. The company grew fast, went public in 1973, and expanded through a mix of acquisition (Banana Republic) and organic growth (Old Navy.) A breakout "Who Wore Khakis?" advertising campaign in the 1990s cemented The Gap's status as a culture-defining brand. The New York Times observed that, at its peak, The Gap "as ubiquitous as McDonald's, as centrally managed as the former Soviet Union and as American as Mickey Mouse." In his later years, Fisher became a preeminent collector of contemporary art, much of its on display in The Gap's San Francisco headquarters.
With the idea of offering healthier foods made with little processing, Bernard established Cape Cod Potato Chips in 1980 in an 800-square-foot storefront in Hyannis, Massachusetts. To prepare, he bought an industrial potato slicer for $3,000 and enrolled in a week-long course on potato chip making at Martin's Potato Chips in Thomasville, Pennsylvania. The brand took off, in part because of its exposure to summer tourists who first discovered the snack food on the Cape. Bernard sold the company, bought it back, and sold it again before starting a new venture—Late July, another snack company—with his daughter, in 2001.
A local celebrity commonly known as "Miss Antoinette," this New Orleans pub owner acted a spokesperson for Hands on Network, a volunteer organization dedicated to Hurricane Katrina relief. Antoinette, who was herself was rescued from the Mother-in-Law Lounge after being stranded by flood waters for seven days, was a passionate advocate for rebuilding of her city.
After graduating from agricultural college in his native Australia, Scott went to work at a fertilizer company and hated it so much he decided he never wanted to work for somebody else again. He hitchhiked across multiple continents opening a jewelry store in Denmark before moving to California in the mid-60s. There he used his knowledge of thermodynamics to start a business building brick ovens for homeowners at between $5,000 and $10,000 not counting materials costs. He went on to co-author a book promoting the use of brick ovens for cooking breads and pizza and a small, but loyal, community of enthusiasts was influenced by his ideas and innovations surrounding baking.
Geeks everywhere mourn the passing of Arneson who, with Gary Gygax, created the popular fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons, in the early 1970s. Arneson later went on to start a second career as an educator with a focus on using gaming as an instructional tool. (Gygax died in 2008.)
Dubbed the "Spice Queen," Wilder was almost 50 when she found her calling. She was helping a friend teach some cooking classes and they began making herb and spice blends for their students. A bulk-spice vendor keyed Wilder into the commercial potential of obscure spices such as ajowan seed, grains of paradise, and powdered sumac. Wilder ultimately traveled the globe in search of quality growers and processors and she helped introduce innovations like an environmentally-friendly method for steam-cleaning spices. Among other customers, she made private-label products for Zabar's, Dean and DeLuca, and Martha Stewart.
A classic serial entrepreneur, Anderson had a healthy list of failed ventures under his belt before he found success. He paid for his tuition at Gettysburg College by repairing the school's furniture and building do-it-yourself paddle kits for fraternities. He met with less success with his early water slide invention, his idea for a trampoline park, and a wolf whistling pantyhose dispenser. His breakthrough came when he invented a Rube Goldberg device that created mini-doughnuts. The contraption became popular among mom-and-pop stores by adding pomp and circumstance to the process of doughnut production. The 13-employee company now sells in 76 countries.
A college dropout who built a car-dealership empire, Miller was known for a management style characterized by hard work and attention to detail. Miller bought his first dealership in 1979 and expanded to 39 dealerships across six states. His company, the Larry H. Miller Group now controls about 80 companies, which employ 7,000 and have sales of more than $3 billion. Miller also bought and revived the Utah Jazz NBA franchise.
Arguably America's preeminent social entrepreneur, Fuller dipped his feet in finance at the age of six selling fattened hogs, rabbits and chickens at a profit. He became a successful businessman and was a millionaire by the age of 29, but his preoccupation with wealth almost scuttled his marriage. Consequently he reevaluated his priorities and started Habitat for Humanity, which signs up volunteers to build homes for low-income families. The homes are sold at no profit or interest; but Fuller frowned on hand-outs and insisted that future home buyers help with the construction. Habitat has built more than 300,000 homes worldwide.
Barry had a simple, two-part business strategy: Make it simple, and make it all-purpose. When he took over the Rocket Chemical Company in 1969, the firm made rust-fighting lubricants but had less than $1 million in annual sales. Barry slashed the product line to one—WD-40—and refused to position the product as being a fit for any particular industry; it was consequently adopted for a wide range of purposes. Barry was his product's biggest fan: He once threw a fit during a visit to his company's ad agency upon discovering a squeaky gate untreated by his product, which brought in $317 million in revenue in 2008.
From a humble start mailing 3,000 fliers people on the New Yorker's subscription list, Talbot's retail business cornered the market on preppy women's apparel, churning out argyle sweaters, sensible skirts, and tweed jackets. The red Colonial door from the company's flagship store in Hingham, Massachusetts, became, among members of its target market, an iconic brand. Talbot and her husband sold the business to General Mills in 1973, but she remained on as a vice president for another decade. The company topped $1.5 billion in revenue in 2008, largely from the 55 million catalogs it mailed out that year.
And one of the pioneers in the field of mergers and acquisitions, Wasserstein played a key role in many of the big deals of the last few decades, from Kohlberg Kravis Roberts' takeover of RJR Nabisco to Kraft's more recent bid for Cadbury. He sold his firm to Dresdner Bank in 2000 for roughly $1.4 billion and he took the helm of Lazard in 2002. He also owned New York magazine.
Batten's fascination with weather dawned at age 8, when he rode out a hurricane in a seaside cottage; it deepened after he took up competitive sailing, and prompted him to create one of the most idiosyncratic and successful cable networks around. Batten started his career at the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, which his uncle owned. He took over as publisher in 1954 and, from that nucleus, built up Landmark Media Enterprises. Recognizing how much people depend on daily weather forecasts, Batten launched the Weather Channel in 1982; at the time critics joked that the Time Channel would come next showing a battery of ticking clocks. The channel owed its success to its local coverage and its supplementation of traditional advertising with cable subscriber fees. Batten retired in 1998 but remained a constant presence at Landmark until his death. Last year, Landmark sold the Weather Channel to NBC Universal for a reported $3.5 billion.
The pitchman behind household cleaners such as Kaboom and OxiClean, Mays was known as much for his distinctive voice and fast-paced exuberance as for having one of the best weapons in any businessman's arsenal: a strong conviction in his products. He once told the Associated Press that he gave away OxiClean to every one of the 300 guests at his wedding and burst into his TV pitch during the festivities. Mays first honed his craft on the boardwalks of Atlantic City and his first chance at a TV pitch in the mid-90s shilling Orange Glo on the Home Shopping Network.
An autodidact who schooled himself in computers after dropping out of college, Hipp got his start in the business in the mid-1990s selling powerful supercomputers, servers, and other equipment made by Silicon Graphics. When he got the idea for blade servers, which allowed for much smaller servers that also trounced the energy efficiency of the machines that preceded them, he struck out on his own to form RLX Technologies. Five years later, in 2005, HP bought the company, though the entrepreneur barely made any money from the sale since many rounds of venture capital had diluted his ownership stake. Now, however, blades are a major segment of the server market, representing $5.4 billion in revenue last year.
Grass, a depression baby, first saw the sparkle of entrepreneurial opportunity when the Supreme Court ruled that manufacturers couldn't force retailers to charge a particular minimum price. Armed with experience working in his in-laws' regional grocery distributor he bought a Scranton, Pennsylvania Thrif D Discount Center in 1962. Six years later, the chain had changed names to Rite Aid, jumped to 50 locations, and completed an IPO. But all did not go smoothly at the company: Grass was ousted as chief executive in 1995 by his son Martin; afterward, he dabbled in other business ventures including a sports card company. This year, the chain reached revenue of $24 billion at 4,900 locations.
Rejected from five New York medical schools, Kaplan started his tutoring business out of his parents' Brooklyn basement with an aim to help students excel on merit and hard work as opposed to some intrinsic scholastic aptitude. His test preparation courses began to grow in popularity and, when he learned that a UC Berkeley student was flying across the country to attend, he undertook a national expansion. By 1984, Kaplan's "poor man's private school" had 95,000 students attending over 700 full- and part-time locations and he sold it to the Washington Post Company for $45 million. Donald Graham, the chairman of the Post Company's board, eulogized Kaplan this way: "He invented an industry, and not a small one. He was a highly principled leader of his company, and a very generous man."
In 1959, after fleeing Iraq with his family due to the political upheaval there, Hovnanian founded a construction company with his three brothers. The New Jersey-based business became well known for its sprawling suburban developments and for its Spartan approach to construction. Hovanian believed in skimping on amenities to offer first-time home buyers a better price; in that way, it grew into the sixth-largest home builder in the country. Though his son succeeded him as company president in 1988, Hovnanian remained on the board until his death in September.
Smith was proof of the fact that you don't need a stellar idea to be a successful entrepreneur; you can just popularize somebody else's. The Oklahoma native was driving along one day when saw a greasy spoon with a car-to-kitchen intercom, which he reproduced and made the focal point of the root beer stand he ran at the time, called the Top Hat. The Top Hat turned a consistent profit, but in 1959, Smith started to think bigger, launching the first of his drive-in establishments under the name Sonic Burger. The chain became known for waiters on rollerskates and for pumping radio hits into the parking lots via speakers. Smith retired from the daily grind in 1983 but he sat on the company's board until his death. Today it runs 3,600 locations in 42 states.
A maker of popular Scandinavian-style kitchen accessories, Nierenberg started Dansk out of his garage with his wife Martha after a trip to Europe exposed the couple to the work of impressive industrial designers. He came back to the states with the idea of mass-producing the sleek implements made of exotic wood and stainless steel and, when he waltzed into a fancy Fifth Avenue boutique with a prototype one day, the executive he pitched ordered several hundred units on the spot. The excitement went to Nierenberg's head as he promptly stepped off the curb and was almost hit by a bus. In the mid-1980s the couple sold the company the Lenox Corporation now owns it.
A pioneering entrepreneur in the field of data storage known for his hyper-competitive personality, Egan started EMC in 1979, though the company initially sold office furniture before graduating into computing equipment and finally data storage. The company went public in 1986 and according to one analysis, it had the top-performing stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the 1990s. Last year, EMC's annual revenue topped $14 billion and the company currently employs more than 33,000 people in offices around the world.
A pioneer in casual dining, Brinker got his start in the restaurant business in the 1950s with a dinky group of San Diego eateries called Jack in the Box; the franchise grew so rapidly under his care that he became president of the company in two years. He then started Steak and Ale in 1966 with the aim of providing a full-service sit-down meal that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Ten years later, when he sold the chain to Pillsbury, it had 109 restaurants in 24 states. He followed that up with Chili's, a powerhouse chain that he built under the umbrella of his company, Brinker International. At Brinker's death, Ellen Koteff, editor of Nation's Restaurant News said of the entrepreneur: "He was the most influential person in the restaurant industry. This is not even debatable."
After her husband died, Raymond took charge of the family toy business, and served as its chief executive for more than 20 years. When she initially took the helm, the company's bank balked because she was a woman. She eventually secured a new bank but she continued to make waves by hiring fashion industry artists to retool toy packaging, refusing to sell toy weapons, sticking to products made in the United States, and scoring licensing deals with big-name athletes and celebrities. Her biggest hit: Creating toy Doctor and Nurse Bags intended to demystify medicine for children.
One of the inventors of the concept of a members-only discount warehouse, Price initially targeted small business owners in search of supplies. The positioning was too narrow and Price suffered a $750,000 loss in the store's first year. Business improved once he opened membership to the general public. Price's philosophy was a no frills approach to supplying consumers: his selections were slimmer than those of other stores, he wouldn't take credit card payments, and many of his stores were in out of the way locations to save on real estate. By 1993, when Price Club merged with Costco, the chain had $6 billion in annual revenue from a mere 94 stores across North America.
Following his discharge from the Army, Simon got a job as a leasing agent for suburban shopping malls. He eventually went out on his own and invented a strategy that is now common practice among mall owners: to attract big tenants like department stores with a lowered rent in order to secure funding from a bank. He then charged the other stores proportionally more in rent. Another innovation of his was to add movie theaters to his malls after noticing that their parking lots were languishing, empty in the evenings. His company had its IPO in 1993 and, today, it owns malls around the globe. He also owned the Indiana Pacers.
Eschewing his family's garment business, Pincus got a master's in business administration at Columbia and joined the investment firm Ladenburg Thalmann & Company where he became a partner by the age of 29. In 1964 he had set up shop for himself and a couple of years later he merged firms with Eric Warburg. Their investment fund backed companies such as Mattel very early, and Pincus became a leader in the field, helping to found the National Venture Capital Association. He also advised the government on easing federal regulations that allowed pension funds to become substantial investors in private equity and venture capital funds.
As a young man, D'Lugoff drifted around the country holding an eclectic series of jobs, from driving a cab in Los Angeles, to serving as a tree surgeon's assistant, and later a union organizer. When he returned to New York, he set out on a career as a concert promoter eventually buying his own venue. The Village Gate, though most often associated with jazz, was a general artistic hotbed that hosted actors, comedians, and musicians of all genres; D'Lugoff had a keen eye and ear for picking the acts the public would flock to see. The club closed it's doors in 1994—a victim of skyrocketing rents in Manhattan.
After finding themselves in need of a secretary in a hurry to file an urgent law brief, Winter and his brother-in-law realized the potential of providing a broader range of employees to other companies. They borrowed $7,000 to carry out their idea and built Manpower into the world's third-largest provider of staffing services with offices in 82 countries. Fun fact No. 1: Despite the name, most of the company's early employees were women. Fun fact No. 2: Winter's indulged an eccentric hobby—he loved to craft artwork from car bumpers.
As events such as airplane hijackings grabbed headlines with greater frequency in the 1960s, Cover—a physicist and aerospace scientist—decided it was time to try to invent and market a non-lethal device for police to use in emergency situations. More than 13,000 law enforcement agencies now use his invention, which came to be known as the Taser.
A Civil Rights lawyer who represented Malcolm X among others, Sutton was also a confirmed capitalist.

The LA Galaxy Academy's Under-18's and Under-16's went undefeated this weekend in a pair of matches against Temecula-based Arsenal FC.
The U-18's roared to a 4-0 victory over Arsenal on Saturday with Andrew Murphy, Raul Mendiola, Sebastian Velasquez, and Justin Dhillon bagging goals.
Meanwhile, the U-16's fought to a 3-3 draw with Arsenal as Christian Chavez notched two goals while Alex Ramos added a third. Jonathan Umana tallied two for Arsenal with Martin Ruiz rounding out for AFC.
Both sides return to action this weekend with both teams taking on their counterparts from De Anza Force at The Home Depot Center on Saturday before ending the week on Sunday at The HDC against Santa Cruz Breakers Academy.
The LA Galaxy's March 3 regular season opener against the Chicago Fire is less than a week away and advertisements are beginning to pop up across Southern California.
On Monday, LA unveiled a 30 second commercial for the match.
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. – Mike Magee and Tommy Meyer were both absent from LA Galaxy practice on Monday, but the club is optimistic that at least one of them will be ready for the regular season opener against the Chicago Fire on March 3.
Magee started LA's preseason finale against the Colorado Rapids and went 75 minutes before exiting the match with an apparent knock on his left knee. Following the match, head coach Bruce Arena told reporters that Magee was simply "kicked" and on Monday, he reiterated his diagnosis after stating Magee received a day off from training.
"He's fine," Arena said. "He just got kicked the other day."
Robbie Keane, Magee's partner up top was just as optimistic about his status for Sunday.
"I think that he'll be okay. He just got a knock in the game the other day," Keane told reporters. "He'll be okay."
LA may be optimistic about Magee, but Meyer's case is a little different. The second-year defender has been nursing hamstring strain for two weeks and missed LA's last three preseason matches.
Hamstring injuries are particularly temperamental and change from day to day, but Arena attests that his condition is improving.
"Tommy is doing fine. He's moving along. It's a week to week type of thing so we'll see how he's moving along during the week," said Arena. "If he isn't [available], life is going to go on and we're going to have to try to survive. We'll know a little bit more during the week."
GOLETA, Calif. –Jack McBean has floated around the periphery of the LA Galaxy lineup for the first two seasons of his professional career, but after a stellar preseason, McBean seems primed for a larger role.
Nine minutes after coming into the match, 18-year-old scored the game winner in the 80th minute as the Galaxy defeated the Colorado Rapids 2-1 to end the preseason with a 5-1-1 record. McBean was awarded for his efforts, not simply with the game-winning-goal, but also a couple of high-fives from a pair of his former teammates from Corona del Mar High School who rushed the field after the goal.
After a successful preseason that saw him notch four goals in seven games, McBean admits that is confidence is high.
"I knew that I was going to get some opportunities during the last couple of games because some other forwards are out right now," said McBean. "There's always room for improvement for sure, but as games have gone on I've done better in each game so I'm pretty happy with that."
Against Colorado, McBean provided a fitting compliment to Keane as his willingness to mix it up with forward allowed the Irish playmaker to open up chances for the youngster. Although the pair are still learning how to play with one another, Keane has been impressed with the young forward.
"He's looking strong and it's always nice to get goals when you're that young as well because it gives you a lot of confidence. He's certainly done well and it gives us a few different options up top," said Keane. "These few the last games are the only times that I've played with him, but the more that I play with him, the more that I can help him as much as I can."
If on Sunday, McBean was asked to start or play an important role off the bench, the teenager believes that he's ready to deliver.
"I'm definitely ready," said McBean. "I played against an MLS starting back four [on Friday] and I definitely think that I'm ready."
GOLETA, Calif. – In Friday's preseason finale, LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena got a look a lineup that –aside from defender Omar Gonzalez—could be the club's starting XI for the MLS regular season opener.
One potential starting partnership for the match against the Chicago Fire places Sean Franklin at right back and Michael Stephens in right midfield. Throughout the preseason, Mike Magee was pressed up top alongside Robbie Keane allowing Stephens to slot into a starting role with Franklin directly behind him.
Against the Rapids, Franklin and Stephens started strong, repeatedly putting Rapids' left back Brian Mullan under pressure. However, as the match wore on, Colorado's left flank accounted for the Galaxy pair and limited their effectiveness, but LA still ended the preseason on a winning note with a 2-1 victory.
With the regular season opener a week away, Franklin believes that establishing a solid partnership with Stephens is "all about repetition."
"We've played a couple games together like that. It's all about just talking and making sure that I'm putting him in the right spots. [Against Colorado], it worked well. If he comes in then I take the space and get behind him," said Franklin. "It worked pretty well in the first half as we got behind their left back. He found me in good spots and it's good to work with different players out there because sometimes it is Hector [Jimenez] or Mikey. It's good that whoever is in that position that we're able to talk and work well together."
GOLETA, Calif. -- The connection is there between central midfield partners Marcelo Sarvas and Juninho. The two Brazilians are best friends off the field and have an uncanny connection on the field, but whether they can drive the Galaxy attack for an entire season still remains to be seen.
The pair were tested greatly in LA's preseason finale on Friday as the Galaxy notched a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids. LA's midfield duo battled with Colorado's Pablo Mastroeni and Hendry Thomas who clogged the midfield at times, making it difficult for the Brazilians to move the offense along. However as the match wore on, Sarvas and Juninho began to take charge as the Galaxy began controlling possession and finding spaces behind the Rapids defense.
"I think we did pretty well [against Colorado], of course there are moments in the game that you lose position or you lose your spot, but generally, I think we did very well. We gave our players chances to go forward and create some space and win balls in midfield. Also we kept the shape pretty well," said Sarvas. "We spoke before the game today and said that today was important to see where we are. I think we are confident and ready to start and of course, we're not 100 percent because that comes with games and during the season. But we are in a good position to start the season."
On Friday, LA Galaxy Homegrown forward Jose Villarreal scored the game-winning-goal as the U.S. Under-20's defeated Costa Rica 1-0 to win Group A in the CONCACAF U-20 Championship.
U.S. will now face Canada in the quarterfinals with a berth in the U-20 World Cup on the the line. A recap of the match from Fox Soccer is below.
Reaction from Villarreal, Luis Gil, Danny Garcia, and head coach Tab Ramos courtesy of U.S. Soccer is below..
GOLETA, Calif. –The LA Galaxy ended their preseason with a victory as they defeated the Colorado Rapids 2-1 at Harder Stadium on the campus of U.C. Santa Barbara.
The Rapids took the lead in the 12th minute off a goal from defender Drew Moor after a defensive miscue from the Galaxy, but LA roared back. Marcelo Sarvas tallied the equalizer in the 35th as he slotted a rebound off a Steward Ceus save on Robbie Keane into the back of the net. LA went ahead for good in the 80th minute when Jack McBean cleaned up a scramble in the box to give LA the win.
The Galaxy ended the preseason with a 5-1-1 record.
LA started the match in the following lineup:
*Odds are if you insert Omar Gonzalez into the lineup for Leonardo that will most likely be the Galaxy's opening day lineup on March 3.
*Gonzalez and assistant coach Curt Onalfo did not make the trip as they are currently at a Herbalife event in Colombia with former Galaxy forward Juan Pablo Angel and the MLS Cup trophy. The pair returns to the U.S. on Saturday.
*Marcelo Sarvas and Juninho seemed to have an issue in the center of midfield with Pablo Mastroeni, but as the game wore on, the two midfielders found space to create scoring opportunities.
*Mike Magee took a knock and came off in the 71st minute after a kick in the left leg. Following the match, Bruce Arena affirmed that it was just a knock and nothing serious.
*After McBean's goal in the 80th minute, a few of McBean's friends from Corona del Mar High School charged the field. Could McBean have earned himself a larger spot in the Galaxy rotation this preseason?
*LA ended the match with the following lineup
*Franklin offered the following thoughts on the exercise: "It was good. This was our last game in prep for Mar 3…I think it helps builds our confident going into our home opener."
*Keane offered the following on the preseason: It's been good. We've done well. It's always nice to get the result, but for me the most important thing is fitness. Today I was trying to run as hard as I can because that's the last game before next week. Tonight was more about your fitness than quality, obviously the field didn't help as well, which is why there wasn't much quality out there."
Was LA's preseason a success? What lineup do you expect for March 3?
Share your thoughts below.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy have arrived at their final preseason match of the year and starting goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini is hoping to see further improvement from his squad.
Since joining the club, Cudicini has earned rave reviews from his teammates for his experience and leadership that he has shown throughout the preseason.
After sitting out Tuesday's preseason victory over Club Tijuana, Cudicini admits that he expects to go 90 minutes against the Colorado Rapids.
"We're feeling pretty good. We have our final match tomorrow against MLS and then we have a week to prepare ourselves for the opener. But we're still working. I think that it'd be wrong to have a team ready 100% now because the season is long, "said Cudicini. "It's not a short process. It takes a bit more three weeks, but I've been doing this job for 20 years so of course that helps, but it takes time to know the players and the style, but the more we play together, then the better it will be."
Jose Villarreal scored the only goal as the U.S. Under-20's defeated Costa Rica 1-0 to win Group A at the CONCACAF U-20 Championships.
The match was an evenly played affair until the LA Galaxy forward broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute by nodding home a cross from Luis Gil past the Central American goalkeeper. The U.S. had already earned a berth in the quarterfinals, but will now face Canada, who defeated Nicaragua 5-1 on Friday.
The winner of that quarterfinal match up will qualify for the U-20 World Cup in Turkey later this year.

I ordered both xs and s after reading reviews. I have fairly small quads but found the xs too restrictive even though the material has some give to it. I am 5'-4" and 118lbs, the small fit great in the legs leaving the waist a tad too big but the waist has built in drawstrings that allowed me to tighten down the waist to a perfect fit.

Comments about Yeti Cycles Yeti Womens Norrie Shorts:
Just got'em; Shorts seem very good quality and have a beautiful fit. Although sizing indeed runs small. However, I think tight fit combined with thick fabric will not be compatible with California weather ever, not even winter. The shorts are so nice that I'm contemplating keeping them for casual street wear, but I think I'll return them anyhow. Bummer!

Comments about Yeti Cycles Yeti Womens Norrie Shorts:
Really awesome mountain biking shorts for women. Love the way these fit... they are pretty fitted so they arent "baggy" like the typical short. Very flattering fit. They dont make me look like a boy! Only thing is they run very small! I am always a size 4-5 in jeans and I decided to go with the size medium per reviews. Thank god I did! I dont have overly muscular legs and these fit my legs just right. The waist was a bit big, but the shorts have little draw strings on the sides to pull the waist in snug. MAKE SURE YOU GO BY THE MEASUREMENTS NOT YOUR PANT SIZE! Pretty awesome shorts if you ask me. And the blue color is killer!

Really well made product so I bought 3 pair.
Yeah Yeti for putting out a bomber product!

Comments about Luxurious Chenille Bedspreads Collection:
I have 2 cats who sleep on my bed and I have previously always had comforter sets, and I think I do laundry more often than most people, just for the pet hair, which I am weird about. I found the comforters to be such a chore to launder, so I basically wanted this bedspread to fit into the washer easier and to actually dry in the dryer. I ordered pink, which is more mauve, which was okay with me. The design is attractive. I washed it twice before drying it even once and noticed clumps of fibers all over in the washer, and the dryer vent was caked several times before the bedspread was dry. I put it on the bed and it looked like maybe it needed to be ironed, because the base material (under the tufting) is like a thick bedsheet. But it fits my bed good and it looks nice. There is nothing "luxurious" about it on my bed. I live in Colorado, so this will not keep the 3 of us warm for about 9 months out of the year and we'll be piling on the blankets. But my goal was to get a non-thick bedspread that fit my bed and was easy to launder as often as I wanted due to the pet hair, and so it makes me happy for those reasons. I just don't think the quality of fabric was worth the price, and I don't think it will last me that long.

Most Helpful Positive Review
These are my first pair of sebago's and I have to say that I disagree with the comments below about the leather being too hard to break in. After 2 wears the shoes were perfect to wear without socks. The leather is good quality, very supple and smells amazing! No blisters at all. Size was also good for my slightly wider than avg feet - and adjusts with the laces. I could happily wear these shoes everyday. I ordered them in merlot colour and they turned out to be slightly redder than in the picture. Still love them none-the-less. Highly recommended purchase. Worth the money.

As the horse race aspect of this year's presidential election ramps up, it's interesting to look at the various scenarios of how each candidate can reach the magic number of 269 electoral votes.
Wait! Astute readers are screaming: What a terrible error the newspaper just made — a candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win!
Who said anything about winning?
Much like NASCAR fans secretly root for wrecks, political and news junkies dream of an Electoral College tie.
It's not as farfetched as you might think. Take this year. Let's give Obama:
See anything crazy in those lists? Each candidate is, at worst, in a dead heat in those states.
If that were to play out, we would be tied at 269.
That's when things get fun — and serious.
Fun because we would be looking at weeks of jockeying as the process plays out in the Electoral College and then, presumably, Congress.
Serious because it would reveal the Electoral College and our presidential election process for the sham that it is.
Here's how it works:
First, the Electoral College would meet and vote. Now let's stop right here. This puts immense power in the hands of these electors. Any one elector could subvert the will of the state he or she represents and change their vote. Does anybody think this is a good idea?
Now, let's assume all the electors remained loyal. The election would then be thrown in to the U.S. House of Representatives. Each state delegation would caucus and vote internally on a candidate. Whichever candidate wins becomes that state's single vote for president. This gives
Finally, the new Senate would elect the vice-president. So, would a Democratic-controlled Senate feel obligated to elect Paul Ryan if Romney wins in the House, or would they stick Romney with Joe Biden?
As fun as all this would be for politicos, it sure seems to us that the process could and should be simplified. First of all, the human factor could be removed from the Electoral College — whatever electoral votes a candidate receives is what he gets.
Second, the entire ticket should be elected by Congress, not the president in one chamber and the vice-president in the other.
Finally, there should be a more representative way than "one vote/one delegation" for having the House elect the president.
Of course, some will argue that the entire Electoral College process should be scrapped in favor of a pure popular vote election. We would not go that far.
But while we're arguing that point, we will keep checking those electoral map projections.
Could be interesting.
