owner/property manager purchased this cottage in 2005
I particularly love restoring older properties so when I came across the Burnham House & Cottages with all it's historic history it was impelling to want to restore and bring back to life all the workmanship so often found in these older homes.... It certainly is most rewarding now to sit back and have others enjoy what has been re-created. Being so close to the beach is also most delightful and certainly well enjoyed. With my years of running Bed & Breakfast Inns & my enjoyment to meet people from all walks of live it provided to be a perfect marriage. I love that I have a historic landmark that is only 2 blocks to the beach and that I have provided such an enjoyable & peaceful environment for anyone that wants to indulge. There are great spacious grounds with little cottages sprinkled amongst the grounds where you can snuggle up on a big garden wicker chair and read a book, a snooze in the hammock or an evening around the fire-pit snipping fine wine and eating a pork chop.... I love taking a long walk in the morning along the beach and watching the surfers & dolphins mingle & the whales migrating in March/April. ***The sunsets are amazing and truly lovely to enjoy...very relaxing***.

"Arrive as strangers and leave like friends" This saying is so true in describing our visit with Mike and Wendy. Check the other reviews and my wife and I endorse all of the positive comments. Burnham Beach Cottage was a real treat for us and we especially enjoyed the spaciousness and the clawfoot tub. It was wonderful to be only a block away from Redondo Beach and its many attractions and morning walks. If you're lucky Mike will make you one of his famous lattes. Mike and Wendy are accomplished and experienced hosts that will provide you with a wealth of insights and information for exploring the local area and Southern California. Hopefully we can return someday.
We really enjoyed our week at Burnham Beach Cottages. It was cosy and decoration was colourful. The garden area was lovely with potted flowers, there where garden chairs 2 fire pits, and an area to bar-be-cue. It was in walking distance to the beach, harbor and many restaurants close by to choose from.
The manager Lynn was extremely friendly and helpful. We will be returning one day in the near future.
Our Second stay at BBC and as good as the first time around. We really do feel part of the family and I have no doubt that Rosie and I will be back again
This is our second time staying at the Burnham Cottages. The cottages are decorated in a beachy theme with flowers in little cases everywhere. It's a mini house with everything you would need for an extended stay: a comfortable bed, nice living room, kitchen, bathroom and front porch. The grounds are beautiful with different sitting areas to enjoy a book or gather with friends. It's within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Plus, Wendy is awesome!!
A bicycle was made available for trips to the beach. I especially enjoyed the french press coffee pot. Additional towels, upon request, were left. Numerous friends and family visited me without incident at the cottage since I had formerly lived in Southern California. The cottage was quaint, cute, and comfortable. However, my only caveat is that during September I had to fight off mosquitoes because I wanted the ocean breeze and there were no window screens or ceiling fans. Also, I missed the convenience of having a microwave since many meals were at various restaurants nearby and I always had leftovers.
Our stay was great at this cottage. There was plenty of parking which is a rarity at beach places. You do have to make sure you park appropriatley to avoid street cleaning... but parking a bit far & getting exercise is never a bad thing. I loved the convenience of usage of bikes. You can easily ride to Hollywood Riviera (shops/resturants), Redondo pier, and the great strand that starts at Redondo and continues to Santa Monica Beach (for the serious cyclist!). Hosts were great, even letting me borrow a reading light. The only tricky issue was the TV which was so sophisticated, no one could figure it out.. but I would imagine the hosts have figured that out by now... besides with the great weather, one should not be indoors watching TV anyway !! Thanks Wendy.. great place, love the touches like fresh flowers, plenty of bathroom space, large kitchen garbage, & oh yes, the sharp kitchen knives (little things that matter to me !)
Michael and Wendy are delightful and very helpful. We had a wonderful weekend in the one bedroom cottage. Hopefully we will revisit in the future.
Bike path from Redondo Beach to Santa Monica and even Malibu if you are so ambitious!
Full/1/2 day sails from RB Marina-walking distance from cottage.
Whale Watching in March/April.
Farmer's Market every Thursday at the RB pier- a block away.
Redondo Beach Pier a block away- Also all within walking distance tide pools, Library. Seaside Lagoon. Wilderness Park.

The department store had been consistently busy but she had
come across a range of people saying they had not started
shopping, and others saying they had finished.
She believed customers were in a different mind-set, because
they had two full weeks of shopping available to them before
Christmas, and she expected the next 10 days to be the
Macklins manager Peter Dagg said the build-up to Christmas
had been "slow" but the last few days had been "encouraging".
"I think people are buying smaller gifts [and] generally
people are spending less."
This tighter spending is reflected in the amount of donations
the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal has received so far this year.
Gifts given to the appeal, which supports the Salvation Army,
are down 38% in Dunedin and 10% nationally, compared with the
same time last year.
Just 7610 gifts have been given so far, well short of the

Simac Can't Handle Her Own Budget
- Wednesday, Jun 29 2011
- Hits: 3859
If You Can't Handle the "Household Budget", You Have No Business Running for Public Office
The drumbeat of Wisconsin's GOP is that the state is like a household budget. We can't keep spending beyond our paycheck. If we have extra money, we must save it for a rainy day. Well, if that is so, then Governor Walker had best provide some serious financial counseling to Kim Simac, the Tea Party GOP candidate challenging incumbent Jim Holperin in the 12th District.
As you may know, Ms Simac and her "swapperoo" husband Arthur P. Simac (otherwise known as "Butch"…and, yes, there is a "Bubba" in there somewhere) own a horse ranch in lovely Eagle River, Wisconsin. Located at 3860 Kula Vista Drive on a vast 22 ½ acres in a busy tourist destination, Ms. Simac runs "The Great Northern Riding Club" and "Equestrian Facility" at http://www.gnaco.com. She's so busy with "business" that she can't even see fit to spend an hour or two debating opposition in front of her constituents. Perhaps Ms. Simac didn't want to answer tough questions about her personal "fiscal responsibilities".
You see, just like other Wisconsin homeowners, the Simacs received a bill for their 2010 property taxes. The amount billed was $1,992.45. According to the Vilas County Treasurer's office, the first half of their taxes was due January 31st with the balance due July 31st. If the homeowner misses the first half payment date, then the whole amount is due and the homeowner loses the option of paying property taxes in January and July "on the installment plan". The Treasurer's office even charges a penalty of 1% interest per month on the unpaid balance retroactive to February. All payments are updated nightly on the Vilas County Treasurer's website ( end of the month updates might take 2 days).
The Simacs paid nothing – not one thin dime -- on their property taxes until June 14, 2011. This means they were technically delinquent paying their taxes (50% of which was due by January 31st). That's 4 ½ months delinquent on their taxes. The Treasurer's office assessed a penalty of $99.62 of additional interest (which was paid according to the Treasurer's office, although the website was not update to reflect this information. This also means that the Simacs forfeited their right to pay their property taxes on the installment plan. We'll check back after January 31, 2012 to see if the Simacs have paid 100% of their property taxes and play by the "household budget rules" that the GOP certainly expects them to follow. It's only fair, don't you think?

Kusherbayev Appointed Deputy Premier in New Kazakh Government
Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev named Krymbek Kusherbayev as deputy prime minister as he forms a new government following the departure of the Central Asian nation's longest-serving premier.
Nazarbayev announced the appointment in a decree published today on his website. He said yesterday that Oil and Gas Minister Sauat Mynbayev, Finance Minister Bolat Zhamishev, Deputy prime minister Kairat Kelimbetov and most other members of the previous government would keep their posts. Karim Massimov resigned as premier on Sept. 24 after almost six years and was replaced by Serik Akhmetov.
Nazarbayev, who has ruled since 1989, has replaced top government officials and the head of state energy producer KazMunaiGaz National Co. after oil-rich western Kazakhstan suffered labor strikes and violent protests in December 2011 when workers demanded higher pay in the Mangistau region. Kusherbayev resigned as head of that region at the time and was named as an adviser to Nazarbayev in July.

International incidents are a prime opportunity to daydream about foreign leaders who'd make better presidents than Barack Obama, at least inside the conservative media bubble. David Cameron has now joined Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu on the right's list of foreigners they'd rather have in the Oval Office than the man the nation elected.
On August 28, President Obama delivered remarks on the U.S. military's approach to the rising terror threat from the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) and recent developments in Ukraine. Right-wing media figures responded with disdain, accusing the president of failing to view the Islamic State as a threat and even suggesting it's understandable to think Obama sympathizes with terrorists. Yet when Cameron delivered similar remarks on the Islamic State's threat to the United Kingdom the next day, the right's response was much different -- Fox News contributor Erick Erickson tweeted:
Can we borrow David Cameron? He fights.
-- Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 29, 2014
Cameron joins a select group of foreign leaders whom the right-wing media have determined to be better suited for the U.S. presidency than the man chosen by American voters.
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson responded to President Obama's press conference addressing the Islamic State by asserting that he understands why "so many" believe Obama "is a closet Muslim jihadist sympathizer."
On August 28, Obama held a press conference to deliver remarks on the Islamic State and recent developments in Ukraine. During his statement, Obama explained that U.S. airstrikes have allowed Kurdish forces to push back the extremists, but added that more needed to be done with allies to root out the "cancer" that is the Islamic State:
As I've said, rooting out a cancer like ISIL will not be quick or easy, but I'm confident that we can and we will, working closely with our allies and our partners. For our part, I've directed Secretary Hagel and our Joint Chiefs of Staff to prepare a range of options. I'll be meeting with my National Security Council again this evening as we continue to develop that strategy. And I've been consulting with members of Congress, and I'll continue to do so in the days ahead.
Despite Obama's strong condemnation of the Islamic State, Erickson said on his radio show that "I don't believe Barack Obama is a closet Muslim jihadi sympathizer. But I now - today, after this press conference -- totally understand why so many of you think he is." Erickson repeated the incendiary comment on Twitter:
Erickson's inflammatory remark is the latest in a long line of extreme rhetoric from the Fox contributor. In 2012, Erickson called Obama a "composite Kenyan" on his blog RedState. He also has a history of sexist and homophobic comments: Erickson labeled Texas state lawmaker and gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis "Abortion Barbie" and claimed that gay people need to "overcome" the "struggle" of homosexuality.
Charles and David Koch, brothers and the oil barons who are already shaping the 2014 midterm elections according to recently leaked audio recordings, are often portrayed as environmentally responsible advocates of the free-market that are unfairly targeted by Democrats. However, their political influence, which benefits the fossil fuel industry and their own bottom line, is unparalleled.
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson continued his pattern of championing anti-LGBT discrimination, warning that gay rights and Christianity are incompatible and asserting that a society that affirms LGBT equality "is a society bent on suicide."
In an August 7 Townhall.com column titled "Tolerate or Be Stamped Out," Erickson lamented the growing marginalization of anti-LGBT attitudes, charging that pro-equality activists are determined to purge Christians from American society:
In fact, enormous energy is being expended by the left in America to make Christianity and Christians unacceptable. A New York Times writer wants to stamp out those views "ruthlessly." He describes those with orthodox Christian views on marriage as unworthy of civility. Anonymous groups expose the home addresses of mostly Christians and subject them to harassment. This is not happening to orthodox Jews or Muslims, but to Christians.
It raises a serious question Americans must confront -- are gay rights and Christianity compatible? The answer appears to be no. As gay rights activists use the tactics of Bull Connor to push for what they declare civil rights, they are targeting churches, religiously affiliated groups and Christian businesses for harassment and lawsuits.
Across the country, the left has decided our sexual preference is something we are born with, but our gender is something we get to decide. Anyone who thinks otherwise is threatened and harassed. Several thousand-year-old pillars of society are being shoved aside in the name of tolerance. Those who speak up for sanity, tradition and faith are treated scornfully.
This will not end well for any of us. Despite surveys designed to show the contrary, children tend to do best with mothers and fathers. A society that willfully undermines perpetuating itself is a society bent on suicide. One thing is for sure -- a faith that survived its followers being used as torches to light the streets of Rome will survive a modern age hell bent on ruthlessly stamping it out. [emphasis added]
Erickson's latest apoplectic screed is par for the course from the Fox News commentator. Last month, he endorsed a Georgia congressional candidate's view that "the homosexual movement ... is destroying America." Previously, Erickson has written that gay people are on the "road to hell" and warned businesses that serve gay couples that they are "aiding and abetting" sin. Moreover, Erickson is a prominent supporter of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a right-wing legal group working internationally to help criminalize homosexuality.
Conservative pundit Erick Erickson, who once called a Supreme Court justice a "goat fucking child molester" and has been criticized by coworkers for sexist and incendiary remarks, is trying to become a Republican kingmaker. Many Republicans are happily promoting his endorsements, paying his site for advertising, and attending his events.
On August 7-9, Republicans such as Gov. Rick Perry, Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen. Ted Cruz, Rep. Jim Bridenstine, Texas gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott, and RNC chair Reince Priebus will attend Erickson's 2014 RedState Gathering in Fort Worth, Texas. Previous speakers at the annual event have included Sen. Tim Scott, Gov. Bobby Jindal, and Sen. Marco Rubio.
Erickson is a Fox News contributor and the editor-in-chief of RedState.com, where he, according to his biography, writes "candidly about and challenge the Republican establishment as well as rally conservatives to push their agenda at both the federal and state level." He believes that "conservatives must unite to clean up the Republican Party. If they don't, voters will keep rejecting Republican pseudo-socialists in favor of authentic socialists." His philosophy has led to fights with establishment Republican pundits like Karl Rove and GOP apparatuses like the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
That Erickson would want the Republican Party to tack even further to the right isn't surprising. This is the same pundit that cites Jesus to deny the threat of climate change, endorses homophobia, and believes Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" and death panels are real.
But his commentary goes beyond extreme conservative positions and into the realm of remarks that even his own colleagues find "boorish and obnoxious."
House Republicans pulled a bill which would increase funding for security at the southern border after conservative media and their allies voiced opposition to it.
The bill, pushed by House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was tabled after he and House Republican leadership faced "a rebellion among their most conservative ranks," according to the New York Times, who also reported that the failure to pass the bill "ensures that no legislation to address what both Democrats and Republicans call an urgent humanitarian crisis will reach President Obama's desk before the August break." After the measure failed, Republicans met to discuss whether they would bring up another bill before Congress goes into recess or to scrap the legislation entirely. Roll Call reported that "chaos reigned" as it became unclear what Republican leaders would decide to do.
Conservative media darling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was reportedly whipping votes in order to stop the bill the night before its introduction, according to a Washington Post report. Cruz appeared on Fox's On the Record with Greta Van Susteren that same night and attacked what he described as "President Obama's amnesty."
Weekly Standard founder and ABC News contributor Bill Kristol wrote a July 31 blog post demanding that the House "kill the bill." He described the bill as "dubious legislation" and argued that passing it would "take the focus off what President Obama has done about immigration."
Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt agreed with Kristol, writing that the House should "kill the fake border security bill and go home until the House leadership gets serious about passing a real border security bill."
The Drudge Report highlighted opposition to the bill at the top of the site with the headline "Hill Phones Melt As Boehner Pushes Border."
The Drudge headline linked to Breitbart.com, which has repeatedly opposed immigration reform efforts. The story by Matthew Boyle noted that "The American people have overloaded the Congressional phone lines yet again on Thursday, pressuring their members of Congress to vote against the House and Senate immigration bills."
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson argued at his site, RedState, that the bill was flawed because it failed to repeal the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which conservatives incorrectly blame for generating the surge in child migrants from Central America.
Erickson added, "The House GOP should be starting with closing DACA, not telling conservatives they first have to fund the President and then they'll get table scraps" and directed his readers to RedState's "action center" where they could call Congress and demand that "the House GOP must close DACA."
Daily Caller columnist Mickey Kaus promoted a campaign from the anti-immigration group Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) which urged readers to call the U.S. Capitol switchboard in order to speak to their member of Congress and demand "No New Laws" on immigration. Kaus also linked to a list of members and their direct office phone numbers.
Laura Ingraham, a talk radio host and Fox News/ABC News contributor, who has been an anti-immigration reform crusader for years, wrote on Twitter that Boehner had made a "supreme accomplishment" by pushing a bill that "manages to enrage both the political left and conservatives." She later celebrated its defeat.
There's a brewing conservative media war over whether to impeach President Obama.
Largely relegated to the fringe for years, the prospect of impeachment has been invigorated thanks to conservative media figures like Fox News contributors Sarah Palin and Allen West, who have spent recent weeks loudly demanding Obama's removal from office. But not everyone in conservative media is on board, with several prominent figures arguing that impeachment is ill-fated, politically toxic, and could severely damage Republicans' chances in the upcoming 2014 midterm elections.
Last week, Fox News polled on the question, finding that while a strong majority of Americans (61 percent) oppose impeachment, 56 percent of Republicans are in favor of it.
Over the weekend, impeachment got another boost thanks to Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the incoming House Majority Whip, appearing on Fox News Sunday and refusing "to take impeaching President Barack Obama off the table if Obama takes executive action to limit deportations." On Saturday, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) announced on Breitbart News Saturday that if the president uses more executive actions on illegal immigration, "we need to bring impeachment hearings immediately before the House of Representatives."
In June, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) introduced a plan to sue the president over the delayed implementation of the employer mandate in the Affordable Care Act. While Boehner has repeatedly dismissed impeachment talk, reporters like the New Republic's Brian Beutler have speculated that the lawsuit was designed to "serve as a relief valve for the building pressure to draw up articles of impeachment."
If Boehner's lawsuit was designed to cool impeachment fever, it's not working. Several conservative media figures have lashed out over his "political stunt" and continue to bang the impeachment drum. As November approaches, the fight over impeachment among conservative media is getting increasingly acrimonious with each side convinced the other is hurting the country.
Media Matters looks at where various conservative commentators currently stand on impeachment.
Wall Street Journal Editorial Board
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson endorsed a congressional candidate's assertion that "the homosexual movement" is "destroying America."
On July 22, Georgia Republican Jody Hice won the Republican primary to succeed Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) in the state's 10th congressional district. In the wake of Hice's victory, BuzzFeed's Andrew Kacynski highlighted 11 examples of Hice's history of inflammatory commentary on LGBT issues.
Erickson, who has endorsed Hice, responded to Kaczynski's post by tweeting that "most every conservatives [sic]" would agree with items "1, 5, 9, and maybe 10":
The passages Erickson endorsed included Hice's claim that "the homosexual movement is ... destroying America by aggressively seeking to destroy traditional families, religion, and marriages for the purpose of removing all societal moral boundaries":
The item Erickson thought most conservatives would "maybe" agree with concerned Hice's suggestion that gay people can change their sexual orientation:
Conservative figures have resorted to linking the 2012 attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, to the July 17 crash of Flight MH17, a Malaysia Airlines jetliner reportedly shot down by pro-Russia rebels as it flew over Ukraine, killing nearly 300 people.
This form of exploitation has become commonplace among right-wing talking heads, who have repeatedly attempted to link Benghazi to a variety of unrelated events such as the Chris Christie bridge scandal, Yom Kippur, Monday Night Football, openly gay NFL prospect Michael Sam, the weather, and even the still-missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370.
These media figures often invoke Benghazi to attack President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or to deflect scrutiny away from conservatives, and the deadly plane crash in Ukraine presented another opportunity.
Rush Limbaugh
Radio host Rush Limbaugh took aim at Obama's response to the plane crash by linking it to the administration's response to the Benghazi attacks. Criticizing Obama for not taking a harsher stance toward Russia and the pro-Russia rebels who reportedly shot down the plane, Limbaugh alleged on his July 21 show, "If we're not going to take action against Benghazi ... we're not going to take action here."
Right-wing media personalities took victory laps following the Supreme Court's decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, in which the Court ruled that closely held corporations cannot be required to provide health coverage for employees that includes contraception if the employer has a religious objection.
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson suggested that people might not be born gay, compared homosexuality to alcoholism and adultery, and warned that gay people who don't repent won't be "saved on the last day."
In a June 20 blog post for RedState.com, Erickson expressed his support for Republican Texas Governor Rick Perry, who was criticized last week after comparing homosexuality to alcoholism. In his post, Erickson claimed that the science around sexual orientation wasn't settled, warning gay people not to "give in" to their temptations and repent for their homosexuality in order to be "saved":
So, again, fewer and fewer voices are willing to speak up. Those of us who can, should speak up. So I will say it - I largely agree with Governor Rick Perry and appreciate him speaking up.
While most of my generation is pretty accepting of the idea that a person can be born gay, there is no settled science on the matter. There certainly is no settled science on pick your own gender adventures. But to say so is apostasy in this secular world. It really does not matter though. Whether one is born gay or not does not mean God made a person gay. And whether it is the unrepentant alcoholic, homosexual, adulterer, liar, or any of the others the Duck Commander listed, none are going to be saved on the last day without repenting.
No one said life was easy, but too many are too ready to give in instead of repenting. Too many tire of the struggle and decide the struggle is just another form of normal. And frankly, it is apart from God. That too is why so many want to drive God out of the public square. God gives us Hope to overcome the struggles of this world, including the flesh. Left to our own devices, Romans 1 tell us we get exactly what we are getting. But we are not creatures of this world -- none of us. We are passing through to eternity. YOLO is a lie and if it feels good it does not mean we should do it. The zeitgeist of the present age tells us otherwise, but the Holy Spirit calls us to a higher and better and more eternal purpose.
Gertrude Himmelfarb wrote, "What was once stigmatized as deviant behavior is now tolerated and even sanctioned; what was once regarded as abnormal has been normalized . . . .As deviancy is normalized, so what was once normal becomes deviant. The kind of family that has been regarded for centuries as natural and moral - the 'bourgeois' family as it is invidiously called - is now seen as pathological" [emphasis added]
From the June 4 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

Right-wing media greeted news of the release of the only U.S. soldier held captive in Afghanistan with claims that his freedom was timed to distract from the controversy plaguing the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Some in the media reacted to the killing spree in Isla Vista, California that claimed the lives of six victims with offensive or bizarre commentary.
On May 23, 22-year-old Elliot Rodger killed three people in his house with blunt or sharp objects before driving to a sorority house near the University of California, Santa Barbara. Outside that house he shot three women, killing two. He then shot to death a young man at a nearby convenience store. Rodger reportedly committed suicide with one of his guns, but not before killing six people and wounding 13 others.
Much attention has focused on a video uploaded by Rodger on YouTube where he describes his desire to kill women in a "day of retribution" against those who has refused his sexual advances and a 140-page manifesto that described his hatred towards the world and in particular women.
Media reactions to the killings included: A Fox News guest suggested the shooting was the result of "homosexual tendencies"; a Fox News contributor who blamed a "war on masculinity" for the killing spree; conservative commentators who lashed out at a victim's father who castigated the National Rifle Association during an emotional press conference; and a CNN reporter described Rodger's manifesto as "really well written" and compared it to a Dickens novel.
Writing at RedState.com, Fox News contributor Erick Erickson claimed that Rodger "lived the very lifestyle the cultural left thinks men should live" and that his actions were a consequence of a "war on masculinity." One of the features of this "war," according to Erickson, is that "[i]nstead of men and women complimenting each other, they're supposed to be perfectly equal even if they are not."
Best we can tell, Elliot Rodger lived the very lifestyle the cultural left thinks men should live and that is regularly glorified on the silver screen. For all the talk of a "War on Women," there has actually been a war on masculinity for a few decades. And more and more twenty-something young men are getting lost and acting out while society tries to find something new to replace the tried and true.
Society used to expect men to open doors, protect their families, and be champions of modesty and virtue. But chivalry is dead. Instead of men and women complimenting each other, they're supposed to be perfectly equal even if they are not. The hook up culture, instant gratification, and selfishness pervade our culture.
The conservative media got their candidate with the election of former Bush administration official Ben Sasse in Nebraska's Republican primary for U.S. Senate. Sasse was endorsed by Sarah Palin, Mark Levin, and Erick Erickson, and has been prominently featured on Fox News and in National Review.
Sasse's win capped a bruising primary between him and fellow Republicans Shane Osborn and Sid Dinsdale. Politico noted there was "back-and-forth mudslinging" over conservative credentials even though there "are no clear ideological differences between the candidates, and the 'establishment' and 'tea party' labels associated with the candidates are fuzzy."
Allies of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and a coalition of Nebraska activists supported Osburn, while outside national groups such as FreedomWorks, Tea Party Express, Family Research Council, and Senate Conservatives Fund backed Sasse.
Some of Sasse's biggest boosters were in the conservative media. National Review featured the Nebraskan on the cover of its January 27 issue, calling him a "health-care expert" and "rising conservative star." The Sasse campaign frequently touted the cover on the campaign, and promoted it in a campaign ad:

Strong wind, huge waves drag cargo vessel to wharf, 21 houses damaged—PCG
More News from Jerry Esplanada
MANILA, Philippines—Buffeted by strong winds and huge waves, a 362-ton cargo vessel on Monday drifted from the Zamboanga City wharf and hit a nearby residential area where it damaged at least 21 houses, according to the Philippine Coast Guard.
Citing a report from the PCG station in that city, the PCG headquarters in Manila on Tuesday said "fortunately, there were neither injuries nor casualties as a result of the incident" involving the steel-hulled ship LCT Tanag Tawi-Tawi.
"The owner of the vessel, Tawi-Tawi Gov. Sadikul Sahali, is willing to pay the damage," the PCG also said in a report posted on its website.
According to PCG-Zamboanga City, most of the damaged houses, located along the coast of Barangay Mariki, were made of light materials.
It reported that "on Monday morning, while the LCT Tanag Tawi-Tawi was docked at the Mendiva private wharf in Rio Hondo, Zamboanga City, the vessel's mooring lines were forcibly cut."
"The ship's crew tried to maneuver the vessel to safety, but due to the strong winds and big waves prevailing at the time, the ship drifted towards the seaside where the houses are located," it said.
Dario Ponce, the vessel's skipper, had asked the unnamed shipping company owned by Sahali to send tugboats to pull the ship back to the wharf "to no avail due to the prevailing low tide."
"Accordingly, they will resume the retrieval operation during high tide," the PCG added.

Promoter Don King has always been one for accomplishing firsts in the world of boxing. The world came to St. Louis and now the Worlds Greatest Boxing promoter, Don King will be taking St. Louis to the world as he steps into the future and starts his own television network via the internet at www.donkingtv.com on Thursday, March 27..
King presents a spectacular Meet Me in St. Louis championship doubleheader plus several special attractions free to boxing and sports fans worldwide on DonKingTV.com at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT live from the Scottrade Center.
St. Louis boxers Cory The Next Generation Spinks and Devon Alexander The Great will showcase their talents before their hometown fans in this pioneering extravaganza, Pride of St. Louis sponsored by Kelly Oil Co. Inc., Bentley St. Louis, Don King Presents Prizefighter Game on 2K coming June 10th and the Scottrade Center.
Spinks is a world champion, who will be joined by two former Heavyweight Champions, father Leon and uncle Michael Spinks ringside. His protégé Alexander is nearing his first world-title fight. The last time Spinks performed in his hometown, the second greatest attendance in boxing history was established as 22,370 fans were part of sold-out history.
Spinks (36-4, 11 KOs) will defend his International Boxing Federation junior middleweight championship against IBF mandatory challenger Verno Phillips (41-10-1, 21 KOs) in the main event at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
A second championship fight pitting undefeated World Boxing Council Continental Americas super lightweight champion Devon Alexander The Great (14-0, 8 KOs) opposing World Boxing Association FEDELATIN super lightweight champion Miguel Callist (24-6-1, 17 KOs) will also be featured during the four-hour webcast as Col. Bob Sheridan will deliver the blow-by-blow call from ringside..
This is another new and exciting adventure for us, said Don King. Like the Gateway to the West, we will be taking St. Louis and this trailblazing fight card worldwide via the internet. Fans will be able to see IBF 154-pount champion Cory Spinks take on Verno Phillips and undefeated 140-pounder Devon Alexander against Miguel Callist. We want as many people as possible to see just how great our technology is, so were making four exciting hours of action available free of charge.
"The Internet continues to be a driving force in revolutionizing how sports are consumed," said Brad Rinklin, vice president of marketing, Akamai Technologies. "Akamai is excited to collaborate with DonKingTV.com to deliver the live streaming for this premiere event, and to help bring this first-of-its-kind Internet channel to the world of boxing."
The webcast will not be available in St. Louis where fans can see the event live and in person at Scottrade Center. Tickets are still available for the night of boxing featuring nine bouts beginning at 5 p.m. Tickets priced at $200, $100, $50 and $25 are on sale now and can be purchased at the Scottrade Center Box Office, all Ticketmaster Ticket Centers, by phone at 314-241-1888 for an automated line or 314-421-4400 or 618-222-2900 for sales rep, or online at ticketmaster.com. A per-ticket facility fee will be added to all tickets purchased at all locations, including at the Scottrade Center Box Office. Additional Ticketmaster service charges and handling fees apply. For disabled seating, call 314-622-5420.
Spinks is the former undisputed welterweight champion who won the IBF 154-pound crown won in St. Louis on July 8, 2006, when he won a majority decision over Roman Karmazin. Phillips is a former three-time 154-pound world champion, a native of Belize now fighting out of Denver, Colo.
In his last appearance, Spinks moved up in weight to face then World Boxing Council and World Boxing Organization middleweight champion Jermain Bad Intentions Taylor at the FedEx Forum in Memphis on May 19, 2007.
Taylor experienced tremendous difficulty exerting his will over Spinks, who proved he could not only appear against a unified middleweight kingpin, but that he could compete at the weight. He darted within range to land punches and frustrated Taylor with his defensive skills throughout the fight.
It was difficult to find agreement on a winner among ringside observers after the fight concluded its 12 rounds. Rarely in boxing history have the disparities been greater between three judges. Dick Flaherty rewarded Spinks for his consummate boxing skills by the wide margin of 117-111. Gale Van Hoy favored the heavier-handed Taylor by the same score of 117-111. Michael Pernick favored Taylor by one round with a score of 115-113 to break the deadlock.
The road to retaining his junior middleweight crown will be no easier for the 29-year-old Spinks when facing the veteran Phillips, 38, who has won an impressive three world championships in his career, all at the 154-pound limit.
Phillips won his last world title in 2004 but dropped a close decision to Kassim Ouma in his next match.
Phillips has won his last three fights, most notably scoring a technical knockout over Teddy Reid and winning a unanimous decision over Juan Carlos Candelo.
Alexander has been a child prodigy fighting out of the Spinks camp. He made a significant move up in level of opposition in his last appearance, making a strong statement by winning a lopsided unanimous decision over respected former world champion DeMarcus Chop Chop Corley to win the WBC Continental Americas super lightweight championship.
Alexander will be in a championship unification match against Callist, who lives in Colon, Panama. At a just-turned 21, Alexander is believed by many boxing experts to be one of the top prospects in the sport. If he can defeat Callist convincingly, Alexander will edge closer to his first world-title fight.
Callist will certainly have the edge in experience. Hes 12 years older at age 33, and he has participated in 31 professional fights to Alexanders 14. Like Corley, Callist is a southpaw but appears to be on the rise while Corleys best days are probably behind him.
Callist has only lost once in his last seven matchesto undefeated Marcos Rene Maidana in 2006. In his last appearance, he won a unanimous decision in eight rounds over Charlie Navarro on Aug. 16, 2007.

'Star Wars' raffle raises $5M, drops new plot clue
J.J. Abrams/Twitter
#ForceForChange @starwars #EpisodeVII @omaze @UNICEF #uinnovate @UNICEFinnovate pic.twitter.com/pCAbhcjKxn
— Bad Robot (@bad_robot) August 11, 2014
See that robotic hand there? It looks very familiar to the one owned either by Luke Skywalker or Anakin Skywalker (aka Darth Vader). Rumor has it the missing appendage plays a role in enticing some new characters to find its original owner. We'll have to wait until either the first trailer or the movie drops in December 2015 to truly find out.
But back to the raffle: Abrams revealed the lucky winner as D.C. Barns, a Denver, CO native who has been a huge fan of "Star Wars" since the beginning. "I'm definitely a fan, or a geek or a nerd, all of those. I'll own it," he told 7News Denver. Barnes will next fly with a friend to London to receive a behind-the-scenes tour of the "Episode VII" set. He'll then be fitted for a costume and film a scene as an undisclosed character in the movie.
"I'm guessing it will be someone who walks by in the background but that will be totally worth it," he added.
With over a year still to go until the film's release - and anticipation continuing to mount - let's hope Disney and Abrams continue to take advantage of the interest to generate more good for charity. Something tells me the fans won't mind at all.
Check out video of D.C. Barns discovering his winning entry below.

After hitting a bump in the road with consecutive losses to West Virginia and Oklahoma it appears the Longhorns are back on track. Three straight wins have UT ranked in the top 20 again heading into a home game against Iowa State. If they top the Cyclones and TCU in the next two weeks, they'll be sitting at 9-2 heading into a showdown against Kansas State in Manhattan. Could the Longhorns make a BCS push at the tail end of the season? No, probably not, but at least they can hang their hat on the fact that they have some of the hottest Bud Light girls we've seen this season. That has to stand for something.

I read this book when I was a child, about 65-70 years ago, in German translation and loved it a lot. I now bought it for my younger granddaughter (8), an avid reader, at the occasion of the holidays. I have not yet received feedback from her, but I am convinced it will be a very valuable experience for her.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If you're looking to take long positions in health care stocks based on the Supreme Court's Obamacare ruling, you might as well select quality names.
The Supreme Court is expected to hand down its decision on a challenge to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on Thursday morning. The Act was signed by President Obama in March 2010, and includes an expansion of Medicaid and a mandate requiring individuals not covered by employer-provided or government-sponsored health insurance plans to maintain "minimum essential coverage" or face an IRS penalty, beginning in 2014.
For starters, the penalty for not meeting the individual health insurance coverage mandate requirement has no teeth. The penalty in 2014 will be $95, followed by a $350 in 2017, reaching $750 in 2015, subject to certain adjustments.
Gavin Magor, a senior analyst with Weiss Ratings, says "assuming that the individual mandate is declared unconstitutional and everything else is upheld, which is probably the most likely scenario, the insurance companies and the policy holders will actually be the losers, because of the cost issue."According to Magor, insurers' efforts to prepare for 2014 were "geared around the assumption that there would be a guaranteed growth of policy holders. They can't just hire in January 2014." If the individual mandate is thrown out, "the insurers will then have to look at how surviving mandated reforms can be paid for, in the long run, with a smaller policyholder base, so they will be looking at increased rates and they might have to look at more consolidation, and that's very likely." "This is a business where the margins are small, and you need to have the benefits of size to actually make money," according to Magor, who adds that "if the individual mandate is thrown out, health insurance stocks could drop sharply, but when investors realize that the larger players will eventually be the only ones left standing, we could see a sharp rebound in stock prices for the larger players." If you are already holding quality health care stocks, you probably already believe in the names, and may have a chance to build positions at lower prices before or after the ruling. If you are considering taking a long position, you might have a similar opportunity. If the Supreme Court decides to uphold the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Thursday could provide an excellent selling opportunity.
Citigroup analyst Carl MacDonald said back in March that "commercial managed care names have a lot more upside than downside on the Supreme Court individual mandate decision," and that "in all but one scenario, the stocks are going higher, and there's potential for significant upside if the entire reform legislation is struck." The analyst went on to say that "the perceived negative outcome occurs if the court strikes the mandate but upholds the rest of the bill, but fundamentally, this isn't so bad, since the penalty for not buying insurance is too weak to really matter. " MacDonald said last Thursday that following the Supreme Court's decision, the market will turn "its focus to the November elections, since a Republican victory could have an even more profound impact on the future of health reform than the court." While playing stocks based on news headlines is generally a recipe for pain, if you are going to take this approach, you might as well consider high quality names. TheStreet Ratings takes a very conservative approach to rating all stocks publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, AMEX and NASDAQ, that have at least five quarters of financial data available. The ratings emphasize long-term total returns, as well as revenue trends, capital strength and dividends, while also considering short-term performance, financial stability and volatility. A rating of B-minus (Good) or higher is considered a "Buy" recommendation. Here are the four U.S.-based health insurance or benefits management companies with the largest market capitalizations with "Buy" ratings from TheStreet Ratings:

Justin Hayward is one busy man. He's currently on tour with The Moody Blues, and that was right after he wrapped a solo tour. After this Moodys tour is over, he goes back out on the road to do the solo gigs again. Plus there was the Spring Moody Blues Cruise that not only featured the band, but several other artists along for the ride. I'm tired just thinking about it! His show here in Portland in June at the Aladdin was fantastic, and the new album and DVD "Spirits Live" is from his solo tour. We talk about his love of travel, the Moodies, the cruise plans, and more.

I've been going to their concerts since the early 70s, when Micheal Pinder had his Melotron. The literally earth & foundation shattering sound of that MAGNIFICENT INSTRUMENT THAT HE DESIGNED FOR HIMSELF & the Moodies was GOD sent. David Stamps. Grapevine,Tx. firstname.lastname@example.com

DERBY LINE, VT/STANSTEAD, QC. - The 108th Season at the historic Haskell Opera House opens the Weekend of May 13th.
The only International Opera House in the world that celebrates the arts in a variety of offerings, all listed on its website with ticket locations and prices (www.haskellopera.com and our new partner, www.catamountarts.org).
The big news for the season is that the Haskell will start showing movies as part of the Tech Upgrade integration. The Vermont International Film Fest will showcase their 2012 Season Kickoff at the Opera House.
CHARLESTON, VT— Lyndon State College (LSC) business students are stepping out of their classroom into the great outdoors to consult with NorthWoods Stewardship Center in East Charleston.
Professor Mark Hilton's students have developed a marketing strategy to help guide NorthWoods toward its 25th anniversary in 2014.
This real world experience for the Lyndon State students is a legacy of former College President Dr. Carol A. Moore. Moore was elected to the NorthWoods Board of Directors last year and facilitated a connection between NorthWoods and LSC's business program.
TROY – Missisquoi Valley Ambulance Service (MVAS) and Troy residents are at odds over money, which could leave Troy looking for a new ambulance service.
Scott Rappold, president of Missisquoi Valley Ambulance Service, asked for $23,460 two years ago, but voters turned it down. At this year's town meeting, he again asked for the $23,460, and was again denied.
"Our expenses are exceeding our revenues," said Rappold. I asked the towns to kind of help out and pay the difference. Where are we suppose to come up with that kind of money?"
Due to technical problems off site, the Newport Daily Express has been informed that today's paper - for Wednesday, May 2, 2012 - will be delayed. We will get the paper to you as soon as possible and apologize for any inconvenience.
DERBY – The select board meeting Monday quickly grew heated when the proposed Derby Line wind project was brought up.
Chair of the Derby Wind Committee, Sue Best, a town lister, attempted to explain to the select board that attorney Richard Saudek wants to know Derby's official stand on the wind project in order to move forward with the contract.
The guidelines for the contract at the current time are that it is supposed to be favorable to the town. But Best and the select board were continually interrupted by a couple of Derby residents.
DERBY – The Border Motel might be going up for tax sale. Derby Tax Collector MaryAnn Tetreault said that owner Christina Barch of Granby, MA, owes taxes for two years, about $26,830, plus attorney's fees.
She said that Attorney Robert Chimileski is working on having a tax sale for the Border Motel Property as well as some residential parcels. The Border Motel property will probably go on the action block in one to two months.
CAMBRIDGE, VT - Vermont State Police have identified Jonathan Martel, 40, of Stowe, as the suspect killed in a police pursuit in Cambridge earlier this week.
Based on evidence at the scene of the shooting, police believe Martel may have used his cell phone as if it was a weapon to possibly induce the officer to shoot.
NEWPORT CITY – This small border community has been in the spotlight at national conferences over the past few months.
Zoning Administrator Paul Dreher attended the New Partners for Smart Growth in San Diego, the National Main Street Conference in Baltimore, MD, and American Planners Association Conference in Los Angeles.
Trish Sears, executive director for the Newport City Renaissance Corporation (NCRC), also attended the New Partners for Smart Growth and the National Main Street Conference.
DERBY, VT/STANSTEAD QC. - Mayor Philippe Dutil of Stanstead, Quebec, says he would shut off the water valves to Beebe Plains, VT, if the Town of Derby supports the proposed Derby Line Wind Project.
The Canadians control the water that serves Beebe, a village in the Town of Derby, near the Canadian-U.S. border.
ORLEANS – Piñatas, the colorful papier-mâché containers, often used in Mexican celebrations, will soon adorn Habanero's Mexican Grill in Newport City. Fourteen Lake Region Union High School students made the piñatas over the past couple of weeks. The piñatas come just in time for Cinco de Mayo, a day during which Americans and Mexicans celebrate Mexican heritage and pride, and to commemorate the Mexican victory over the French military during the Battle of Puebla.
"Our Spanish class really wanted to do something hands on," explained Lake Region Spanish teacher Katie Kaskey.

One thing people don't talk about however is how bad the native mobile version is. It would seem that going forward, mobile is going to be one of the keys to Twitter's success and for me, and plenty of others I've talked to, its native m.twitter.com site just doesn't cut it. Sure, there are other 3rd party sites and apps out there that work just fine, but one would think Twitter itself would put a little more work into building a killer mobile interface. VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying marketing and personalization... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Outgoing members of Congress – even as they consider legislation in the lame-duck session – are preparing their exits through the revolving door to lucrative lobbying jobs, often with industries they assisted while doing the "people's business," as Bill Moyers and Michael Winship explain.
Obama Administration
Iraq War's Fallout in Syria
Repercussions from the disastrous Iraq War continue to reverberate through the Middle East, now with battle-hardened jihadists crossing into Syria and taking a key role in that civil war. A U.S. attempt to isolate them with a terrorist designation is likely to fail, says the Independent Institute's Ivan Eland.
The Right's 'Limited Government' Scam
Exclusive: Libertarians and Tea Partiers pretend they are the only Americans who believe in "limited government" as envisioned by the Framers, but that is a false conceit. The real history is that Madison and Washington devised a Constitution with broad powers to promote the "general Welfare," says Robert Parry.
An Inconvenient Truth: Israeli Apartheid
Israel and its apologists react in fury when anyone likens the oppression of Palestinians to South Africa's white supremacist system of apartheid toward blacks, but the comparison is growing harder and harder to dispute, a disturbing reality that ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar examines.
Dim Tidings of Political Disconnect
The insertion of false narratives is a powerful way to control populations, a technique that today's American Right has perfected in persuading much of the population that global warming is a hoax and "the market's invisible hand" is real, a dilemma of the human condition addressed by poet Phil Rockstroh.
Hijacking the Second Amendment
The American Right and the gun lobby have hijacked the original intent of the Second Amendment, which was designed for a system of citizen militias to provide for domestic "security" without the need for a standing army. But the amendment is now a dangerous relic, writes Joe Lauria.
Japan's Vote Shows Economic Anger
It may appear that Japanese voters have opted for a "back-to-the-future" election, reinstalling Shinzo Abe and his once-dominant Liberal Democratic Party to power. But the move reflects a desire to move forward out of Japan's economic rut, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Reflections on the Unimaginable
After each mass slaughter – usually inflicted by some high-powered assault rifle in the hands of a mentally unstable individual – Americans search for some explanation, some way to make sense of the madness. That was especially true of the latest massacre of children in Connecticut, writes Michael Winship.
How the GOP Promoted Gun Madness
Exclusive: When looking at the faces of the six-year-olds butchered in their Connecticut classroom, you should also see the faces of the politicians who pandered to the NRA and its obsessive opposition to commonsense gun control, the likes of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, writes Robert Parry.
Placing Blame for Gun Massacres
After each gun-related massacre, the U.S. news media waves its collective finger at politicians for permitting today's insane tolerance of gun violence, but the media lacks the courage to call out specific individuals who bear most responsibility. One of those people is the NRA's Wayne LaPierre, says Peter Dreier.

If you want to make a bigger level, you could use dynamic arrays. (It seems that all arrays in JavaScript are dynamic.) so basically:var sizeX = 100, sizeY = 100; var map = new array(sizeX); for (int i = 0; i < sizeX; i++) { map[i] = new array(sizeY); for (int j = 0; j < sizeY; j++) { map[i][j] = 0; } }
Would make a map 100x100 in size, and you access the values of the map this way: map[x][y]. All the values are initially set to 0.
Then I would perhaps make an array for the tiles:
var tiles = array();
tiles[0] = (Some reference to the image tile, attributes, etc that you need, 0 being 'nothing', 1 being 'grass', 2 being flowers, etc.)
Point is to make a list so that each value in the map array directly maps to the index of the tile table. Example: if map[10][10] returns '4', its tile is retrieved using tile[4].
Just to flesh out my immediate idea.
For your movement, you could have a position x, and y for your character. You also have values for the visible width and height of the visible position of the screen in number of visible tiles, and the top left corner position of this rectangle in the map.
You have a map sized 100x100. You are positioned at 30x60. The visible width and height is 21 tiles in each dimension, making you see 10 tiles ahead in every direction, not counting the spot you are on. This makes all my coordinates inclusive start and end, meaning that a range from 20 to 40 means 21 tiles. (20 = tile 1, 21 = tile 2 ... 39 = tile 20, 40 = tile 21)
You would then start drawing the map at positions x = 30 - 10 = 20, y = 60 - 10 = 50, and end at x = 30 + 10 = 40, y = 60 + 10 = 70, but you need to check the borders so you don't go past the size of the array in either direction in x and y.
You have to decide on:
1. The character must always be in the centre: this means the border of the map somehow must be allowed to move to the centre.
2. The character is allowed to move around on the map freely without being in the centre, and that moving beyond a certain point bumps the map one or more tiles. This allows the map border to never be drawn inside the visible area, and the character to move all the way to the edge of the screen, when the character reaches the end of the map.
3. Make enough bushes and mountains to never allow the border of the map to come inside of the screen.
Sorry if I am not clear enough, I just brainstormed a bit here. Just ask if anything is unclear.
Edit: I also think that reading about prototypes in JavaScript will come in handy too. That will allow you to do some class/object oriented-like kind of things that you can use for the tiles like:var tile = function() { this.fileName = 0; this.solid = false; this.somethingelsethatyouneed = something; } tile[0] = new tile; tile[0].filename = 'somefile';
I am not sure if this is the best way, but you get the idea. If you want to see the details how I did something similar, view the source code of:
I even started on a tile editor once that I never finished because I needed to do some major restructuring to make an effective GUI in JS:
(And I really consider myself a n00b...)
Ah Thx for the Replys Im very Thankfull for your feedback and im Sorry that i haven't replied back in such a long time. Been to busy with Work and my Personal Life.
Anyways to the code, i been trying out the things you been telling me and it seems to quite frankly work properly. I will continue evolving the game and will contact you if there are other types of questiones i have.

No.15 Vermont Catamounts 2 vs. No.5 Wisconsin Badgers 3
NCAA West Regional Semifinal (St. Paul, MN)
C/W Matt Marshall , UVM: Did not play.
Season Totals: 33 GP, 1-4-5, -4, 14 PIM
Vermont actually led this game 2-1 after the first period, but were then outshot 30-15 over the final two periods, being outscored 2-0. The Catamounts' season and impressive playoff run is now over. Marshall (pictured) was a healthy scratch for the fifth straight game after the sophomore only missed one regular season contest. His speed and defensive ability are assets to the Catamounts, and he'll likely be a fixture on at least their third line next season.
C/W Alexander Killorn, Harvard: Season complete.
Season Totals: 32 GP, 9-11-20, E, 26 PIM
Killorn, a sophomore, was one of the top prospects at the Lightning's 2009 summer camp and could be a signing target of the Lightning this offseason. Speculation from Harvard followers is he'll return to the Crimson next season, however. Stay tuned.
D Luke Witkowski , Western Mich. Univ.: Season complete.
Season Totals: 32 GP, 2-4-6, -13, 67 PIM
Witkowski gained valuable ice time as a freshman defenseman for the Broncos this season, though he went through his ups and downs in his rookie year. He is expected to be a big part of WMU's future on the blueline.
USHS Update
D Kirill Gotovets, Shattuck-St. Mary's
Season Totals: 44 GP, 8-19-27, 73 PIM
Gotovets, a Cornell commit, had five points after 14 games, but has 22 points in his last 30. Shattuck is 42-11-4 entering the USA Hockey Tier 1 National Tournament in Chicago on April 7. Shattuck's playoffs start following the Chicago tourney.
NCAA Playoffs Game Night: 3-13-10Submitted by chad on March 14, 2010 - 11:00
Harvard Crimson 0 @ No.9 Cornell Big Red 3
ECAC Quarterfinals – Game 2. Cornell wins Best of 3 series 2-0.
C/W Alexander Killorn, HAR: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Season Totals: 32 GP, 9-11-20, E, 26 PIM
Killorn (pictured) returned to the Crimson lineup, but it wasn't enough as Cornell completed the quarterfinal sweep of Harvard and ended their season. Killorn, a sophomore, was one of the top prospects at the Lightning's 2009 summer camp, and could be a signing target of the Lightning this offseason. He set career highs in games played (+2), goals (+3), assists (+3) and points (+6). He also nearly cut his PIM in half from his freshman year, 46 to 26.
No.19 Vermont Catamounts 1 @ No.11 New Hampshire Wildcats 0
Hockey East Quarterfinals – Game 2. Best of 3 series tied 1-1.
C/W Matt Marshall , UVM: Did not play.
Season Totals: 33 GP, 1-4-5, -4, 14 PIM
Vermont handed UNH their first home loss of the season when freshman David Pacan (Blackhawks 6/09) scored at the five minute mark of the third period. Vermont will try to complete the 8 vs. 1 upset Sunday night.
D Luke Witkowski , Western Mich. Univ.: Season complete.
Season Totals: 32 GP, 2-4-6, -13, 67 PIM

Big government is coming soon
We're in the middle of a financial crisis, but most economists say there is a broader economic crisis still to come. The unemployment rate will shoot upward. Companies will go bankrupt. Commercial real estate values will decline. Credit card defaults will rise. The nonprofit sector will be hammered.
By the time the recession is in full force, Democrats will probably be running the government. Barack Obama will probably be in the White House. Democrats will have a comfortable majority in the House and will control between 56 and 60 seats in the Senate.
The party will inherit big deficits. David Leonhardt, my colleague at the Times, estimates that the deficit will sit at around $750 billion next year, or 5 percent of GDP. Democrats had promised to pay for new spending with compensatory cuts, but the economic crisis will dissolve pay-as-you-go vows. New federal spending will come in four streams.
First, there will be the bailouts. Once upon a time, there were concerns about moral hazard. But resistance to corporate bailouts is gone. If Bear Stearns and AIG can get bailouts, then so can car companies, airlines and other corporations with direct links to Main Street.
Second, there will be more stimulus packages. The first stimulus package, passed early this year, was a failure because people spent only 10 percent to 20 percent of the rebate dollars and saved the rest. Martin Feldstein of Harvard calculates the package added $80 billion to the national debt while producing less than $20 billion in consumer spending.
Nonetheless, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promises another package, and it will pass.
Third, we're in for a Keynesian renaissance. The Fed has little room to stimulate the economy, so Democrats will use government outlays to boost consumption. Nouriel Roubini of New York University argues that the economy will need a $300 billion fiscal stimulus.
Obama has already promised a clean energy/jobs program that would cost $150 billion over 10 years. He's vowed $60 billion in infrastructure spending over the same period. He promises a range of tax credits – $4,000 a year for college tuition, up to $3,000 for child care, $7,000 for a clean car, a mortgage tax credit.
Fourth, there will be tax cuts. On Monday, Obama promised new tax subsidies to small business, which could cost tens of billions. That's on top of his promise to cut taxes for 95 percent of American households. His tax plans aren't as irresponsible as John McCain's, but the Tax Policy Center still says they would reduce revenues by $2.8 trillion over the next decade.
Finally, there will be a health care plan. In 1960, health care consumed 5 percent of GDP. By 2025, it will consume 25 percent. In the face of these rising costs, Obama will spend billions more to widen coverage. Obama's plan has many virtues, but the cost-saving measures are chimerical.
When you add it all up, we're not talking about a deficit that is 5 percent of GDP, but something much, much, much larger.
