Donald Trump: Genius, Patriot, or Idiot? by Lyda Loudon
(Today's article is written by Dr. Gina daughter, Lyda Loudon, founder of the Youth for Romney and Tea Party Youth. Editor)
Monday, Donald Trump announced that he had "something very, very big concerning the President of the United States," that he planned to release Wednesday. Immediately, a firestorm erupted of predictions, responses, thoughts, opinions and otherwise among bloggers and the press.
As a staunch "birther," many predicted that Mr. Trump's announcement would be related to President Obama's citizenship status or birth certificate. On numerous occasions, Trump has spoken out requesting President Obama release his birth certificate to the public, as they have a right to know that their President is constitutionally qualified to hold his office. The President has spent millions in legal fees to keep his birth certificate and other documentation hidden. Mr. Trump simply believes that citizens have questions and deserve answers. When President Obama finally did release his birth certificate (which some claim to have evidence is a product of photo editing or CGI), Trump took credit for its release. Although, several other powerful figures from both sides of the aisle had spoken out with concerns regarding President Obama's lack of transparency about his past, there could be some legitimacy to Trump's claim, as he did cause quite an uproar by utilizing his powerful positions as a successful businessman and influential figure.
As promised, Mr. Trump released this video with his announcement on Wednesday. He simply requests that President Obama release his college records and passport applications. In return, Mr. Trump will give five million dollars to any charity of the President's choosing within one hour of receiving the documents he requests. The rule, however, is that President Obama must take advantage of this opportunity prior to the evening of the 31st of this month.
Mr. Trump's offer has many people in the media and blogsphere touting that the announcement was built up as something much larger than it actually is. Some people from both sides of the aisle see the information Mr. Trump is requesting as irrelevant. The way I see it, this is Mr. Trump's way of doing his patriotic, civic duty. One of his most famous quotations is, "If you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big." He is giving the President an opportunity to become a slightly more transparent public servant, as he should have been from the beginning of his political career, and definitely his presidential term. To top it all off, Mr. Trump is prepared to give five million dollars of his money to a charity. That is not selfishness or arrogance; all he gets out of the deal is the peace of knowing that he did something for his country. Who has a right to criticize that?
The left, the bloggers, the media, and whoever else can criticize Donald Trump all day long. He is probably doing a heckuva lot more for this country than any of them are. The question is, does President Obama have the guts to take the offer, release his information, and allow Trump to give that five million to charity? Maybe he will simply dismiss it like it's a cabinet meeting, important briefing, or a request for additional security at an embassy and go do something cute, like hit up on The View instead.

Poverty saps the brain – US-India study
WASHINGTON – From a shopping mall in New Jersey to the farm fields of India, experiments show that poverty saps people's brainpower and may lower IQ by 13 points, scientists said Thursday.
The findings in the US journal Science suggest that being poor can drain a person's mental resources, leaving him or her less capable of focusing on other things, like solving problems and controlling impulses.
"Because you have all these other things on your mind, you have less mind to give to everything else," said co-author Sendhil Mullainathan, a Harvard University economist.
Rather than blaming poverty on the individual or the environment, the study suggests that the state of being poor exerts the same effect as losing a full night's sleep or having lower intelligence.
"We're arguing that being poor can impact cognitive functioning, which hinders individuals' ability to make good decisions and can cause further poverty," said co-author Jiaying Zhao, a professor at the University of British Columbia.
Researchers sampled some 400 people with incomes ranging from $20,000 to $70,000 at a shopping mall in New Jersey.
The shoppers were asked how they would respond to a hypothetical scenario in which their car had broken down and would cost a certain amount to fix.
The question was meant to evoke thoughts of a person's own monetary condition. Some shoppers were told the fix would cost $150, others were told $1,500.
Then they were given a series of cognitive and impulse control exercises to complete, such as putting shapes in order or clicking on the correct side of a computer screen.
The people whose incomes were on the lower end of the scale did the worst when they were told the cost of the hypothetical repair was higher.
When they were thinking about a cheaper, $150 repair, they performed as well as the people with higher incomes.
"These pressures create a salient concern in the mind and draw mental resources to the problem itself. This means we are unable to focus on other things in life that need our attention," said Zhao.
Researchers also gave tests to 464 sugar cane farmers in India, both before their once-yearly harvest when they were short on money and after the harvest when they had more.
They found that the same farmers did better on the tests when they had cash on hand.
"IQ goes up, cognitive control, or error, goes way down and response times go way down," said Mullainathan.
Researchers said the findings suggest that financial assistance is too simplistic of an answer for the problems associated with poverty.
Instead, targeting the concerns that consume the working poor – such as childcare— may be more effective.
"Rather than simply looking at these challenges as a lack of money very broadly, if we could break it up and simply target the biggest concerns and deal with them, we might begin to solve other problems as well," said Mullainathan.

All dogs bark. Is that true? Well no. Not all dogs bark, but most do. Owners of a Basenji, an Alaskan Malamute, and an Afghan Hound can take it easy and enjoy the silence around them. However there are dogs that are typically big barkers and these include the Jack Russell, Yorkshire Terrier, Maltese, Mudi, Vizsla, Shetland Dog, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Dachshund, Beagle, West-Highland Terrier, Toy Poodle, Doberman and the Schnauzer.
So what to do when you have to listen to incessant barking? Not only your sleep, but your neighbors' nerves will also be affected. Although one understands that barking is natural for dogs, there comes a time when enough is enough. What to do then? Training might help…but an anti-barking dog collar might do the trick as well.
What is an anti-barking dog collar you ask? Well this is special type of collar that triggers a reaction out of a dog…and after repetitively negatively stimulating the dog with every bark, the dog slowly but surely learns not to bark. There are different types of anti bark collars available. There are dog collars that deliver a light shock to your dog as a reaction to barking. There is also a type of dog collar that sprays mists of citronella. This smell is not welcomed by dogs and they sooner stop barking than continue smelling the fumes of citronella around them. This is a more humane solution because it does not inflict pain to the dog.
So how effective is an anti barking dog collar, you ask?
Paul McCartney of the Beatles included a dog whistle into one of his songs "A Day in the Life". The ultrasonic whistle could only be heard by dogs and was meant for his Shetland Sheepdog.
At first glance, a Shetland Sheepdog resembles a Colie. However, they are much smaller, and this makes them great pets for those living in Apartments.
They are remarkably healthy, and make very loyal companions. Observations show that they are very good around children too. They are noted for their Intelligence. Ranking 6th out of 132 breeds according to Stanley Coren, they are one of the most intelligent dogs around.

Do you think KSing is a big deal?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
I have yet to come across someone who's raged at KSing. Probably one guy who was kinda frustrated but that's it. When people 'KS' me they always go 'sorry for the ks dude' and I usually respond like 'nah, don't even worry about it'. I feel like as long as someone on my team gets the kill I'm happy cause after all it's a team sport right? I feel like that flies over people's heads and they get caught up in their personal glory.
team game
so no
though if it's something scummy like ksing an easy kill for someone else's penta then yeah that's bm
In a bot game, if I work hard to get the kill, ks-ing is heavily annoying. If it's a PVP team game, then no, a kill is a kill.
Most of the times I agree. There are however situations where legit killstealing (as in, jumping in and actually stealing it) could be an issue. A support taking kills from his/her ADC is not good. If you have to blow some cooldowns to steal the kill it might put your team at an disadvantage later on.
Then there's the "never put all your eggs in one basket" situation where the killstealer might steal so many kills he has almost all the power of the team. If he dies you're in a very bad situation.
Normally tho, ks is not something to worry about and in some cases might just give the team more gold (in the form of assists).
"homer the lord only asks for one hour a week" -Marge
"in that case he should have made the week an hour longer..." -Homer (GF)
If it's an easy kill for your ADC to and there's no chance of it getting away (say, exhausted with flash down under your tower with no HP), then try to let your ADC have it. If there's any chance of anything going wrong tho, kill kill kill.
Funky Strong
"Date vuelta. Veras el color rojo cuando termine contigo..." - Vega
Usually no. Problem is if you're Darius or stuff, and you have to watch out and think "do I ult this guy for the reset?", and end up 8/3 while the score is 12/9 and their adc does have most kills and... Well you see where I'm going. Or if you're Leona and end up 7/0/2 because W is a PAIN.
To Carl Barks.
Well generally whoever is the adc or mid should get the kill. If someone like ults or something to take from either of them, then it's a little annoying, but still nothing to get mad over.
XBL GT: Jester was good
Is there a reasonable chance the foe might get away if you don't attack? Are you not 99% certain your teammate will be able to get the kill? If so, then it really isn't kill stealing to me. Go for it.
If they clearly have their foe on the ropes, and you just come out of nowhere and last hit. Then yes, you basically just denied your teammate gold. Not cool.
I'm not at liberty to discuss things involving random users I've never heard of. Sorry . :) - Allen's wife, speaking about Luster
The extra second a support spends not auto attacking a 100% dead teemo to try giving a kill to the ADC is not worth giving 150 extra gold to them. Time is better spent pushing or recalling.
So don't ever worry about it, it just affects the amount of kills on the final scoreboard, which you want going to you anyways.
Make exceptions for draven, dat passive too stronk.
KS just stands for kill secured, imo
Your Life *SPOILERS!* -- The main character dies at the end.

Leroy Lita may have played his last game for Reading after slamming his manager Steve Coppell.
The forward, who has been linked with a £5 million transfer to Sunderland, was accused by his manager last week of not wanting to play in the 2-2 FA Cup draw with Tottenham Hotspur nine days ago.
"The gaffer has come out and said I didn't want to play at Spurs, which I wasn't happy with at all," Lita said. "I said to him if I am going to move on he might as well play the lads who are here because otherwise I will be cup-tied. I didn't say I didn't want to play. It was frustrating and a bit personal. I didn't like that."
Portsmouth and Middlesbrough have also expressed an interest in signing Lita since he fell out of favour at the Madejski Stadium.
"I spoke to the manager two months ago and he said if my agent wants to sort me out something better, he is not going to stand in my way," Lita said. "From then I haven't played."

Remembering Willie
Star scholar and athlete from Lincoln slain in '94 is still touching lives
More than 1,500 people attended Jones' funeral, including top city officials and students from throughout San Diego. Cornell's wrestling coach was there, even though the teen never got to compete with the team.
"It was just like a part of you was really snatched away," said Richard Miner, 63, a Lincoln High booster. "You just can't find the words to express how the community as a whole felt at the time."
Five gang members were later convicted in connection with the killing.
Less than two months after the slaying, the city renamed Ozark Street to Willie James Jones Avenue. Yet the three-block stretch, which includes the eastern flank of Lincoln High, has seen much mayhem since.
So has the rest of southeastern San Diego.
"The sad part about it is I wonder why it's still going on," said Elijah Gentry, who wrestled with Jones at Lincoln High and now helps run a popular barbershop. "How many street names are we going to have to change?"
Three teens have been gunned down in the past three months alone. Monique Palmer, 17, and Michael Taylor, 15, were shot in December in Valencia Park. Hannah Podhorsky, 16, was killed in February in Mountain View.
The violence persists in spite of reminders of Jones that dot the landscape. Miner displays a memorial to the slain teen on the south wall of his sporting goods store. Jones' portrait is included in a group of murals in Market Creek Plaza, off Euclid Avenue.
Another portrait will be hung in the Lincoln High library next week. Across the street, a monument that honors high school seniors from southeastern San Diego bears his name.
Precious Jackson's name was the second to be etched on the wall after Jones'. The Lincoln graduate, 26, joined the school's teaching staff two years ago and gives a lesson about Jones to her students. She persuaded two other teachers to do the same.
"I want the students to understand that the struggles we were fighting back in '94 when Willie was killed are the same struggles that we're fighting now," she said. "I also want my students to take responsibility for their part of what's happening in the community."
Bass, 58, points to Jackson as an example of the impression Jones left on people. Bass came to know Jones while serving as an assistant principal at Lincoln.
A year after Jones died, Bass became Lincoln's principal. When Army Pvt. Devon Jones – a 2002 Lincoln graduate who is not related to Willie Jones – was killed in Iraq in 2003, Bass' daughter, Joanna, summed up his loss this way:
"He was our Willie Jones."
A father's commitmentFor Willie Earl Jones, Willie James Jones was neither beacon nor symbol. He was his child.
The father of three surviving children will retire in June following a 37-year teaching career. His office at Valencia Park Elementary School contains photos of his son flipping a wrestling opponent and a T-shirt from a tournament named for the teen.

I made this bread the first time round staying true to the recipe and it was a bit bland but still yummy toasted. I followed the advice of an earlier reviewer and added some nutmeg. I also added some cardamom--much tastier and spicier. Even my mother-in-law enjoyed it!
Husband really liked this bread. Made it again the next day and doubled the recipe with good results. Smooth pumpkin taste with added "kick" of tart cranberries. Great toasted for breakfast. Also, whips together in a jiffy.
This recipe is nice because it is easy and versatile. I excluded ginger and cloves, and added pecans and extra cinnamon (cassia preferrably). I also used my own pumpkin puree from our Halloween pumpkins. Make sure you cook it through or it will be pasty. I also tried the recipe substituting mini choc chips for cranberries, and made them into muffins. They were delicious.
Decent. Cranberries are a nice addition. Lacks the flavor of a far superior pumpkin bread - "Spiced pumpkin loaves with whipped cream" from Bon Appetit, Nov. 1997.
I made this bread for Thanksgiving this year. I received many raves, and they haven't stopped yet!
I've made this at Thanksgiving since 1997. I double the recipe, using one loaf for the Pumpkin Bread Pudding, and the second loaf for munching. We slice it, and toast the slices in a toaster oven. Then butter it lightly like toast. So good.
This bread is very rich and moist, wonderful! I substituted a little nutmeg instead of cloves and it turned out fine. Using fresh cranberries gives this bread an extra tart twist.
i've made this recipe every year since it was published. It gets rave reviews every Thanksgiving!
This is a fine bread, our cook from Georgia forgot the baking soda,it is in the recipe!
This is one I will be making for the holidays as gifts. It's a keeper!!

Adviser says Bachmann out of race; Romney on to NH
DES MOINES, Iowa An adviser says last-place Iowa caucus finisher Michelle Bachmann is ending her presidential campaign. That leaves her supporters up for grabs as Rick Santorum tries to establish himself as the conservative heavyweight in the Republican race.
Santorum's near-tie with caucus winner Mitt Romney topped a rise from deep in the polls to contender for the presidential nomination.
Like Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry took a blow in the caucuses - finishing fifth - and he was flying home to decide whether to stay in the race.
Meanwhile, a smiling Romney jetted off to New Hampshire, telling reporters that landslides are terrific but he'd settle for his eight-vote margin of victory.
The Bachmann adviser spoke on condition of anonymity before her expected announcement Wednesday morning.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A squeaker of an Iowa victory in hand, Mitt Romney headed into the New Hampshire primary insisting that staying power sets him apart from runners-up Rick Santorum and Ron Paul and the rest of the GOP presidential field. Two rivals already looked shaky - last-place finisher Michele Bachmann canceled a campaign trip Wednesday and Rick Perry was heading home to Texas to think things over.
Romney shrugged off the promise of sharper criticism from his GOP rivals and President Barack Obama's re-election team now that he's narrowly carried the first contest of the nomination.
"I've got a big target on me now," Romney said Wednesday, adding that doesn't faze him. "I've got broad shoulders. I'm willing to handle it."
Fourth-place finisher Newt Gingrich got the attacks off to a quick start, saying the Iowa caucus results show "three out of four Republicans repudiated Mitt Romney. How can you take seriously somebody after that kind of campaign?"
The former Massachusetts governor was declared the winner in the wee hours Wednesday - by just eight votes - bringing down the curtain on an improbable first act in the campaign to pick a candidate to challenge Obama in the fall.
Romney and Santorum each collected almost a fourth of the vote. The Iowa GOP said Romney got 30,015 votes, to 30,007 for Santorum, whose late surge carried him to a near win after months languishing in the depths of opinion polls.
"Game on," declared Santorum, jaw set. He easily outdistanced most other contenders to emerge as Romney's top challenger and the conservative of the moment.
Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman who finished in a distant sixth, canceled a campaign trip Wednesday to South Carolina, where she had hoped to court Christian conservatives and tea partyers. Instead, she planned a news conference late Wednesday morning, campaign manager Keith Nahigan told The Associated Press.
Nahigan would not say whether Bachmann intends to drop out. Low on money, her campaign appeared in disarray. But Bachmann told supporters Tuesday night she would carry on.

1987 Volkswagen Jetta Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 12 reviews
A budget compact sedan, available as a 2-door or 4-door, the Jetta easily conquered the U.S. market, winning over customers with its blend of optimal performance, reliability, safety, and price. With great gas mileage and few repairs, the Jetta adds up to a practical family car or personal sport compact.
The biggest change in the 1987 Volkswagen Jetta is a new and improved and more powerful engine in the performance-oriented GLI. It gets a 16-valve, double overhead cam 1.8, with 123-hp. Coupled with the already supportive Recaro racing seats in the front, the family sedan Jetta becomes a true road rocket. The 1.8, 4-cylinder, 85-hp engine in the base and GL sedans remains the same.
What makes the 1987 Jetta stand out from other compact sedans is the Volkwagen engineering that combines stiff suspension with tight cornering and an engine that never quits. Combined with the light weight of the car, it handles breezily, but stays firmly planted on the road. Owners of all Jettas, not just the GLI, praise its performance and how fun it is to drive. They also mention the spacious trunk, and that it's very easy to do your own repairs or modifications. Mostly, those who have owned their 1987 Jetta for almost 20 years now are amazed how neither the engine or the exterior ever shows how hard it's been driven. Drawbacks include the plain styling, cheaply-made interior materials, and an uncomfortable driver's seat.

Chapter One
At two-thirty, Mitford's Main Street Grill
had fed the breakfast and lunch crowds and
was officially closed. However, due to pressing
business, three regulars and owner Percy Mosely
were still hanging around.
"Four inches an' more comin'!" announced Percy,
who was waiting for a sausage delivery from down
the mountain. He squinted through the steamy front
window at the swirling snowfall. The flakes were
large and powdery, reminding him of when he was a
kid living in Piney Cove.
"I'm goin' to step out a minute," he said, grabbing
his green jacket. "If th' phone rings, call me."
Father Tim Kavanagh, J. C. Hogan, and Mule
Skinner would have been glad to get back to work,
or even knock off early and go home, but the mayor
had recruited them as an advisory committee on the
expansion of downtown parking, and their report
was due tomorrow.
J.C., the editor of the Mitford Muse, wiped his face
with a paper napkin. He was sweating this one; he'd
never been on an advisory committee before and he
wanted to think smart and look good. It wasn't
every day that a newspaper editor had a chance to
be splashed across his own front page.
"The ballpark is the only answer," said J.C.
"Given its central location on Main Street, it'd bring
traffic in from th' whole county. Besides, it's crazy to
Now off retail dollars to maintain a hokey little ball-park."
"Hokey?" said Father Tim.
"You leave th' ballpark alone!" Mule felt his
blood pressure shooting through the roof. "I don't
want to hear ballpark again in this dadgum conversation!"
"Stop acting like a bunch of old women!" said J.C.
"We can always get land for another ballpark, but
we'll never get another chance like this for downtown
parking. It's time to expand our infrastructure."
"Infrastructure?" said Mule. "Gag me with a forklift.
Where's Percy? Percy's th' oldest business on
th' street and do you think he'd go for tearin' down
th' ballpark to get a few more warm bodies in here?
Nossir, and nobody else will, either."
Mule got up and sprinted to the door, opening it
to a blast of cold air.
"Percy! Can you step in here a minute?"
"Tell 'em I'll call back!" Percy was hunkered
down at the edge of the sidewalk, building a snow,
man. "Come out here and help me knock this thing
out, there's a contest on th' street!"
Mule looked south on Main Street. Somebody
was working on a snowman in front of the Collar
Button, and down at Winnie Ivey's Sweet Stuff
Bakery there was a whole hive of activity. He peered
at Happy Endings Bookstore next door and saw
Hope Winchester rolling out the midsection of a
snowman as if her life depended on it.
Mule shivered in his knit golf shirt. "Is there a
prize in this contest?"
"Somebody said maybe a snow shovel from th'
hardware an' a dozen doughnuts from Winnie's."
"Split th' doughnuts and I'll give you a hand."
"Step on it!" said Percy. "An' get th' father an'
J.C. out here."
* * *
Uncle Billy Watson slogged to the Grill with his
pant legs stuffed into his galoshes and his wife's felt
hat jammed onto his head. He also wore gloves with
both thumbs missing; under an ancient coat of his
own, Rose's deceased brother's military jacket displayed
a variety of tarnished war medals.
"I was hopin' you'd have a
loaf of bread a feller could take
home," the old man told Percy.
Uncle Billy's arthritic fingers
clutched three dimes, a nickel,
and two pennies, which he thought
was a fair price. "I'll pay cash money, don't you
"Go on in an' take it offa th' shelf," said Percy. To
tell the truth, he was tired of Bill Watson gouging a
loaf of bread out of him every week for the last hundred
years, but he wouldn't fret over it now, being
the time of year it was.
"What y'uns doin'?" asked Uncle Billy.
Father Tim scooped another shovelful of snow.
"There's a snowman contest on Main Street, and
Percy wants to nab the prize for the Grill." He was
huffing like a steam engine and had lost feeling in
most of his fingers and toes.
Uncle Billy surveyed the creation in front of
him. "Only thing is, hit's naked as a jaybird."
"Right," said Father Tim. "Needs two eyes, a
noseyou know, the basics."
"Needs a hat is more like it," said Uncle Billy.
"What's th' prize?"
"Doughnuts. Maybe a snow shovel, but definitely
"Doughnuts!" said Uncle Billy. "Would that be
plain or glazed?"
Mayor Esther Cunningham parked her SUV in
front of the post office, pulled on a crocheted hat
that was gathering dust in the glove compartment,
and marched across the street to Happy Endings.
Having noticed that small groups of people were
gathered up and down the sidewalk, she intended to
investigate the commotion.
"What do you think?" asked a beaming Hope
Winchester, flushed and frozen.
"I think it's terrific!" said the mayor, peering at a
snowman with a book on its head. "What's its
The mayor stood back and
looked again, thoughtful,
then foraged in her
pocketbook. "If that snowman's
goin' to read, he needs a
decent pair of glasses. I was goin' to run Ray's old
specs up to Hope House, but see what you can do
with these."
"Mayor!" bawled Percy. "Come on over!"
The mayor trotted next door to the Grill. "Why,
look here! A whole caboodle of snowmen!" Three
snow figures stood proudly in the space between
the bench and the newspaper box.
"Who does this 'un look like?" asked Uncle Billy,
who was now minus part of his clothes and lacking
a hat.
"I hate to say it, but that's Rose Watson made
The old man grinned. "Hit's her spit image!"
"I helped," said Father Tim, feeling proud and
modest at the same time.
"An' who d'you think this is?" asked Percy.
The mayor squinted at the next snowman. "Let's
see, now ."
"Here's a clue," said Percy, jerking his thumb toward
himself. He wished he could quit grinning like
an idiot.
"It was my idea to put the pot on its head," said
J.C. "Now lookit! Who's this?"
"Shoot, I'd recognize that face anywhere! It's
Bill Sprouse over at First Baptist."
"No ma'm," said Uncle Billy, "hit ain't Preacher
Sprouse, hit's J. C., don't you know."
J.C. blew on his red hands. "We figured tree
lights were kind of different, a little somethin' to
catch the judge's eye."
"Who's th' judge?" asked the mayor, feeling out
of the loop. Wasn't this her town? How did these
things happen without anybody saying doodley-squat
to her? Next thing you knew, they'd be running
the place themselves and doing a bum job of it.
"Hope, who's the judge of this thing?" the mayor
"I don't know," said Hope, adjusting the eyeglasses
on her entry. "I saw everybody else doing it,
so I thought I would, too."
"Mule, go find out who's the judge!" commanded
the mayor. Mule hated how the mayor got
her way on nearly everything.
In three minutes, he was back, panting from the
"There's not a judge. People saw everybody else
doin' it and that's how it happened. Winnie down at
Sweet Stuff, she started it. Somebody asked her to
be th' judge, but she didn't want th' responsibility."
"Then I'll be the judge!" boomed the mayor.
"Don't even fool with goin' down th' block," said
Uncle Billy. "They ain't no use to judge anybody's
but our'n." He brushed snow off the bench so the
mayor could have a seat. "You got your top winners
right here."
"As judge of the First Annual Mitford Snowman
Jubilee," proclaimed the mayor, "I declare every entrant
a winner, with free doughnuts and hot chocolate
for everybody on the street!"
At the sound of whistles and cheers, she
launched two fists into the air with thumbs up, a
campaign tactic she'd always favored.
The heck with her penny-pinching
council, she thought, storming
along in her fleece-lined boots
to the Sweet Stuff Bakery. As
the happy crowd fell in behind
her, she calculated how she'd gouge the money out
of the Parks and Recreation Committee. If that
failed, she'd find the measly few bucks somewhere;
after all, wasn't this her town, and wouldn't such a
gesture be good for business in general? She drew
herself up proudly as she advanced toward the bakery.
Bottom line, didn't Mitford take care of its own?
She was still huffing from her block-and-a-half
gallop as the twenty-six people in her wake formed
an excited but orderly queue at Sweet Stuff Bakery.
Mule opened the door. "Age after beauty," he
said to the mayor. "You go first!"
"I'll do no such thing," she pronounced, grabbing
the door and holding it open herself.
Just then, the town Christmas lights switched
on at their appointed hour. And suddenly, the
whole of Main Street was softly illumined against

SDG&E picks eastern route for high-voltage lines
Staff Writer
San Diego Gas & Electric Co. unveiled its long-awaited plan Friday that if approved by state regulators, would string high-voltage power lines and towers through Wine Country and draw opposition from the city of Temecula.
The route SDG&E chose to propose to the California Public Utilities Commission runs through Temecula Valley Wine Country and could cross just southeast of the heavily populated Redhawk community, between the development and the Pechanga Indian Reservation.
"It's just crazy," Roberto Ponte said Friday. "They're going to scar this place, they're going to ruin a lot of homes, ruin the valley, and for what? An energy company down in San Diego?"
Ponte, who owns the Temecula Valley Vineyards and has served as Wine Country's main liaison with SDG&E, said a portion of the proposed route for the "Valley-Rainbow Interconnect," as the line is dubbed, runs along Anza Road between the Van Roekel and Wilson Creek wineries.
SDG&E spokeswoman Jacqueline Howells said the project "would just skirt the edge of Wine Country," but Ponte said the proposed route is exactly what the folks in Wine Country have feared since word of the project first came out.
The route for the 500,000-volt transmission line begins at Southern California Edison's substation near Romoland. From there it travels about 31 miles in a general southeastern direction to connect with a yet-to-be-built SDG&E substation near Rainbow in North San Diego County. When the line was first proposed last summer, utility officials said it was necessary to keep the San Diego region from facing blackouts as soon as 2004. But in recent months, a dozen proposals have emerged for power plants in northern Mexico and San Diego County.
Instead of killing the Valley-Rainbow project, SDG&E officials have used the anticipated generation to strengthen their argument, saying electricity can be sent to Riverside County just as easily as to San Diego, should Riverside County consumers need it. Edison officials have not forecast a Riverside County shortage beyond that which plagues the rest of the state, but could not be reached this week for comment.
"At first, they were playing on our sympathies for the San Diegans who wouldn't have power," said Loma Bosinger, who co-chairs Save Southwest Riverside County, a grassroots organization formed to prevent the Valley-Rainbow project from going through. "But it's becoming more and more clear that they want to export the power instead, onto the open market."
Bosinger said the area's along the proposed route are "just not unpopulated enough."
"Our credo since the beginning has been: Do not put this in populated areas," said Barbara Wilder, SSRC's co-chairwoman. "We're still prepared to go to the PUC with our intervening and our protests. … We hope that there will be support for this with the city and everyone else because this is a terrible thing to do to Wine Country."
Temecula Mayor Jeff Comerchero said he hopes the PUC will do all it can to make sure every alternative has been exhausted before approving the project, which a spokesman for the commission said is the intention.

By Frank Lewis
Portsmouth City Council voted Monday evening to pay legal bills from Portsmouth Attorney Steve Rodeheffer for services obtained by then-Vice Mayor Kevin W. Johnson, after council was challenged by City Solicitor John Haas to obtain outside legal assistance.
Third Ward Councilman Kevin E. Johnson moved to pass the motion.
"My issue would be, had this come to council first, whether he would have the majority," Sixth Ward Councilman Jeff Kleha said. "Whether we would get a benefit from it; whether there was a need or we thought there was a need to do this. It is truly a moral obligation if it would have been approved, and here we are coming back saying on a procedural technicality let's not approve it. But if it would not have been approved then we could argue would it be moral to approve it now. Each person would have to determine whether we derived some benefit from that or whether Mr. (Kevin W.) Johnson had reasonable belief that he really needed to contact Mr. Rodeheffer."
Kevin W. Johnson took the action when Haas virtually recused himself from dealing with a possible ordinance to go before the voters to ask them to change the positions of solicitor and city auditor to appointed rather than elected. Haas said, since one of those items dealt with his own job, he could not act on council's behalf. That is when he urged them to obtain outside legal help.
Johnson contacted Rodeheffer who eventually sent an invoice, listing his services, asking for $500 for those services.
Johnson did not comment much during the discussion, choosing to stand on the documentation he had previously provided to Council.
"I believe that I am one-sixth of the vote," Kevin E. Johnson said. "I would like to have had something to say. But I also believe that we, as council, if we hire somebody outside, we have the obligation to see that they're paid. I don't know Mr. Rodeheffer but I believe that he needs to be paid because he felt that he was acting on behalf of the whole body of council. So I believe that we need to pay him."
Second Ward Councilman Rich Saddler's comments began with his saying he partially agreed with Kevin E. Johnson.
"I don't think that he thought that he was working for all of council. There was no discussion whatsoever. There was no discussion amongst council to actually say that council would like for Kevin W. to go out and find legal representation," Saddler said. "I don't feel that that is necessary."
Saddler said some things that should have been done were not done, and some things that should not have been done were done. He said he does not assess blame to anyone in the situation.
"I really don't think it was an act of council as a whole," Saddler said.
City Auditor Trent Williams inserted into the conversation that if council approved the motion he would need to be instructed as to where to get the money. City Manager Derek Allen said the money would come from the Professional Services account.
Fourth Ward Councilman and Acting Mayor Jim Kalb said expenditures should be approved before being incurred.
"This was never discussed. I feel I never had representation. I was never contacted," Kalb said. "This was just an individual councilman that was seeking the advice without having the approval of all the other councilmen. Another concern I have that if council should decide to pay this, are we setting a precedent that, in the future if a councilman needs something or feels he needs legal advice besides our city solicitor, he seeks that advice, has a tab and expense account and has it paid, I don't know what argument we would have."
Fifth Ward Councilman Gene Meadows said changing rules in the middle of the game has never stopped council before, so he did not see Kalb's point as valid, and said he believes council benefited from seeking outside counsel, so the invoice should be paid.
The motion passed by a 4-2 vote with Saddler and Kalb casting the only two dissenting votes.

How to attract prospects to your offering, build a relationship with them, and persuade them to purchase.
Source: Flickr
Content marketing is a narrative form of marketing focused on consumers' needs while telling a story. Without being a thinly disguised promotion or advertisement, its conversational, human voice gently persuades prospects and helps buyers and the public provide consumers with useful information to aid purchase decisions, improve product usage, and entertain them.
Think content marketing doesn't matter? Then, look at Man of the House, Celebrations, and Amazon to see how different companies, namely P&G, 1-800-Flowers, and Amazon, support their brands and products while driving sales.
To maximize its effectiveness, develop your marketing plans around the four pillars of content marketing: context, channels, connections, and commerce. (Here's help for keeping your content marketing on track.)
Context. Provides the basis for branding and message relevance. It draws prospects in and engages them.
Channel. Distributes messages one-to-many, one-to-one, and many-to-many.
Connections. By its nature, content marketing engages prospects, buyers, and others. Marketers' goals are to encourage engagement and build relationships over time. Of course, it's critical to respond and keep the conversation going.
Commerce. Supports sales at every step of the buying process. Content marketing effectively answers prospects' and buyers' questions about your offering in a variety of formats because they don't trust advertising.
By integrating the four pillars of content into your overall marketing, you can attract prospects to your offering, build a relationship with them, and persuade them to purchase. Used effectively with an appropriate call-to-action and unique tracking code, content marketing delivers measurable bottom line results. As a result, content metrics can be more easily tracked.
Is there anything else that you'd add to these four pillars of content marketing? Alternatively, is there anything that you'd change? If so, what would it be?
Happy marketing,

The New York Knickerbockers were one of the first organized baseball teams which played under a set of rules similar to the game today. The team was founded by Alexander Cartwright, considered one of the original developers of modern baseball.
In 1849, the New York Knickerbockers wore the first ever recorded baseball uniforms
Origins and rules
While a member of Knickerbocker Engine Company No. 12 of the New York City Fire Department, Alexander Joy Cartwright became involved in playing town ball (a similar game to baseball, and an older one) on a vacant lot in Manhattan. In 1845, the lot became unavailable for use, and the group was forced to look for another location. They found a playing field, the Elysian Fields, a large tree-filled parkland across the Hudson River in Hoboken, New Jersey run by Colonel John Stevens, which charged $75 a year to rent. In order to pay the rental fees, Cartwright organized a ball club so that he could collect the needed money. The club was named the "Knickerbockers", in honor of the fire company where Cartwright was a member. The Knickerbockers club was organized on September 23, 1845. The first officers were Duncan F. Curry, president, William R. Wheaton, vice-president, and William H. Tucker, secretary-treasurer.
Creating a club for the ball players called for a formal set of rules for each member to adhere to, foremost among them to "have the reputation of a gentleman". Cartwright formalized the Knickerbocker Rules, a set of twenty rules for the team:
- Members must strictly observe the time agreed upon for exercise, and be punctual in their attendance.
- When assembled for exercise, the President, or in his absence, the Vice-President, shall appoint an umpire, who shall keep the game in a book provided for that purpose, and note all violations of the By-Laws and Rules during the time of exercise.
- The presiding officer shall designate two members as Captains, who shall retire and make the match to be played, observing at the same time that the players opposite to each other should be as nearly equal as possible, the choice of sides to be then tossed for, and the first in hand to be decided in like manner.

It is likely that Cartwright picked some of his twenty rules based upon his previous experience in town ball play in Manhattan. The original rules of play at the vacant lot in Manhattan were not documented so it cannot be said which rules were Cartwright's own invention. Most likely, Cartwright's rules are based upon the Manhattan rules that he converted at his own discretion. The twenty rules differed in some respects from other early versions of baseball and from rounders, the English game commonly considered the immediate ancestor of baseball. "Two of these rules — the one that abolished soaking [putting a runner out by hitting him with a thrown ball] and the one that designated a foul as a do-over — were revolutionary, while the others gave the game a new degree of uniformity."[2]
First "officially recorded" game and subsequent history
The formation of the Knickerbockers club across the Hudson River created a division in the group of Manhattan players. Several of the players refused to cross the river on a ferry to play ball because they did not like the distance away from home. Those players stayed behind and formed their own club, the "New York Nine".
The first "officially recorded" baseball game between two different teams was played on June 19, 1846 at the Elysian Fields in Hoboken. The two teams, the "Knickerbockers" and the "New York Nine" (also known as the New York Baseball Club), played with Cartwright's twenty rules. Cartwright's team, the Knickerbockers, lost 23 to 1 to the New York Nine club in four innings. Some say that Cartwright's team lost because his best players did not want to make the trip across the river. Cartwright was the umpire during this game and fined one player six cents for cursing. The lineups for the teams:
However, there were several other recorded games prior to this. On October 6, 1845 the Knickerbocker Club played a 3 inning game between its own members, and on October 22, 1845 the "New York Club" beat the "Brooklyn Club" 24 to 4, with the box score included in the next day's morning newspaper.
Over the next few years, the rules of baseball spread throughout the country. Baseball was becoming a popular sport with Americans and drew spectators by the thousands. Cartwright's rules would soon become part of the rules of the National Association of Base Ball Players in 1857. These rules slowly evolved into today's rules of baseball.

Background of Ice Hockey in Ladakh[edit]
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2015)
The history of ice hockey in India dates back almost 100 years, when ice hockey was a favourite pastime for the British in Shimla, Punjab. The Shimla Ice Skating Club is still very active in promoting ice sports in India. In the early '70s, the Ladakh Scouts, a battalion of the Indian army posted in the high border regions, took up the game. The high Changthang Plateau's frozen streams and high altitude lakes make the region an ideal place to play ice hockey, and as a result the game spread amongst the army. The game gained more widespread popularity exhibition matches began taking place in Leh in the winter. With little to do during the region's harsh winters, locals began to play on a small irrigation pond in Karzoo, Leh.
Ice hockey gear was not and is still not available to buy in Ladakh. The few locals who have contacts outside Ladakh have requested friends to get ice hockey skates. The Ladakh Scouts are well equipped as they get their gear through the army. The Jammu & Kashmir department of tourism also has a full set of equipment, but is reluctant to spare any. The only place in India where ice sports equipment is readily available is Shimla, a small hill station in the northwestern part of India, where two Chinese brothers began making skates that are still used today.
Due to the lack of accessible equipment, Ladhakis began to improvise, with the first teams obtaining ice skating blades from Shimla and nailing them to army ammunition boots. Roller skates and ground hockey sticks were also used. To create pucks, locals cut the thick, rubber heels of army boots into a rounded shape. Goal keepers wore ground hockey pads but lacked helmets; neither helmets nor knee and elbow pads were used by other players. Despite injuries due to this lack of protective gear, the game has continued to grow in popularity in the region.
Adam Sherlip is the coach of the India national ice hockey team.[1]

Kat uses Dusty, a cat, to manipulate gravity and shift perspectives. Both Coles manipulate lightning and convert them into grenades and other various forms. Raiden is a cyborg with inhuman reflexes and precision that owns a blade that can slice through buildings. Fat Princess is a fat princess that can generate minions out of thin air.Isaac is an engineer that travels through space killing aliens with weird weapons. So realistic.

Pardee Homes announced Friday that their new LivingSmart home project in Fair Oaks Ranch has been certified as the first in the state to meet national green building standards.
Pardee officials gathered with representatives of the National Association of Home Builders Research Center, as well as state and local government officials for the announcement.
"The National Green Building Standard offers builders and product suppliers a nationally recognized standard definition of green building. It sets an important benchmark for our new home quality goals—and it's a natural fit for the continuous evolution of our green building commitment, which began 13 years ago with our first energy-efficient homes in California and Nevada." Michael McGee, President and CEO, Pardee Homes

Santa Clarita City Councilman Bob Kellar praised the company on its project.
"Protecting the environment is a high priority for the City of Santa Clarita," he said. "We are fortunate to have a great business partner in that effort with Pardee Homes. And, today, we are very pleased that Santa Clarita is the first community in California to receive new homes built to the highest green standards in the country."
Michael Luzier, president of the NAHB Research Center, announced Pardee's commitment to the Gold certification level for all homes of LivingSmart®Homes at Fair Oaks Ranch. He commented on what a strong message Pardee Homes' certification commitment conveys to homebuyers.
Joining him in the announcement were LA County Supervisor Michael Antonovich; California Assemblyman Cameron Smyth and California Senator Sharon Runner. Also attending were representatives from Pardee Homes; the Building Industry of California and ConSol, California verifier for NGBS.
McGee said that NGBS certification provides credible verification of a homebuilder's claims about green building. He noted that NGBS home certification goes beyond individual home performance to consider how the location adds to homebuyer's green lifestyle.
Among sustainable attributes that will help the designs of LivingSmart Homes earn Gold certification are the walkable neighborhoods of Fair Oaks Ranch; its proximity to Metrolink, schools, shopping and recreation; its water-savings measures and its open space preservation. The LivingSmart Homes neighborhood includes four floor plans with approximately 1,846 to 2,432 square feet of living space. Pricing is from the low $400,000s for these detached homes.
