04.04.2011 | DKSH Group, market leader in the sector of Market Expansion Services with a focus on Asia, has appointed Bernhard Schmitt as new CFO and Martina Ludescher as a member of the Group Management.
Zurich, March 31, 2011 – Switzerland's privately held DKSH Group, market leader in the sector of Market Expansion Services with a focus on Asia, appointed Bernhard Schmitt as its new CFO effective March 31, 2011. He succeeds Stuart Davy, who is retiring from active business for personal reasons. In his six years as CFO and a total of 13 years with DKSH, Stuart Davy has had a decisive impact on the successful development of the Group. Under his leadership, the finance function at DKSH has seen significant professionalization. Not least the extremely solid balance sheet of DKSH facilitated the Group's rapid rate of expansion in recent years. Today, the Group is net debt free and consequently ideally positioned for further dynamic growth, both organic and through strategic bolt-on acquisitions.
Joerg Wolle, President & CEO of DKSH comments: "It is extremely satisfying that we have been able to fill the position of CFO from within our own ranks. Bernhard Schmitt has been with DKSH for seven years now, of which five as Country Finance Manager of our biggest country operation, Thailand, and the last two years as the member of the Group Management responsible for country organizations, business process optimization, and supply chain. Joerg Wolle goes on to say: "With his in-depth understanding of our complex business model, Bernhard Schmitt is a safeguard for professional process and risk management, including efficient cost controls – key success factors for a rapidly growing and transaction driven Group like DKSH".
At the same time, DKSH is strengthening its management structure with the newly created function "Corporate Development", to be held by Martina Ludescher, who has been appointed a member of the Group Management effective March 31, 2011. Corporate Development covers the areas of Human Resources, Strategy, Corporate Communications, and Branding. "With Martina Ludescher, we are very proud to promote a young executive from our own in-house talent pool and the first woman to be appointed to the Group Management of DKSH", comments Joerg Wolle. Martina Ludescher has been with DKSH for eight years, holding the position of "Vice President Strategy & Corporate Communications" since 2007. "In that time she has made a significant contribution to the strategic repositioning and establishment of the DKSH corporate brand. For a services organization such as DKSH, the caliber and commitment of our 22,500 employees are crucial to the successful implementation of our growth strategy", emphasizes CEO Joerg Wolle.
Since the merger in 2002, DKSH has seen an average increase in profitability of 17%. Based on a clearly defined growth strategy, the company is continuously extending its position as the leading provider of Market Expansion Services throughout Asia
CV Bernhard Schmitt
Bernhard Schmitt, 51, was appointed CFO of DKSH effective March 31, 2011. After joining DKSH in 2004, he held the position of Country Finance Manager in Thailand, DKSH's biggest country operation, for five years. For the past two years as a member of the Group Management, he has been responsible for country organizations, business process optimization, and supply chain. He brings over 16 years of Asia experience to the table, gained in various countries throughout the region. He holds a degree in Economics from the University of Mannheim in Germany. Bernhard Schmitt is a German citizen.
CV Martina Ludescher
Martina Ludescher, 33, was appointed Head Corporate Development of DKSH effective March 31, 2011. Previously, she held the position of Vice President Strategy & Corporate Communications. She joined DKSH in 2003 and holds an MBA from the University of St.Gallen (HSG). Martina Ludescher is a Swiss citizen.
About DKSH

In another thread the discussion turned to "fan favorites" getting title shots instead of fighters that may not be as exciting, but are more deserving of the title shot.
I thought a tournament style that would mimic a season would work out best.
Start with an 8 man tournament for a specific weight class.
The card would be the 4 elimination fights plus a title defense against the current #1 fighter.
Next month you have 2 eliminations fights plus three exhibition fights.
Third month is the final elimination fight plus the start of another weight class tournament (keeping with the 5 fights per PPV)
Fourth month isa the title defense plus 2 elimination fights and 2 exhibition fights.
Basically, you would keep this pattern going each month.
I guess I like having a more concrete way of ranking fighters instead of depending on human influence.

Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by laliteto the world needs more NO NONSENSE swimwear this is the only swimsuit top that has ever truly fit me. I have absolutely no boobs. i'm 5'4'', ~105lbs, pretty small/average height. I like it that way. but unfortunately, I cant run around topless at the beach with my fam/in public. thisis the best $50 i've ever spent on a swimsuit. Please make more swimsuit tops for people with no breasts. I'm sick of stupid triangle tops and bandeau's that try to make it "seem" like you have more than you do. Why bother? I have no boobs, i'm proud, and I just want a top that's simple, non-frilly, and going to let me do whatever I need to do. too many swimsuit tops are crippling and meant for laying around on the beach. this is the perfect, stylish, no nonsense swimsuit top. I love that it has less coverage than would be required for larger boobs, because it makes it look less like i'm 12 trying to wear mommy's bra. 10.9.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by juz8 nice I usually wear a 32a and got the xs. it's nice, and good for a smaller chest, but I found that it squished down what boobs I do have. that's fine for the beach, but not so great for wearing around under clothes as a bra 12.11.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by dallasdiva Not a bra I ordered this because a reviewer said it would double as a bra... The triangles are too small and the material too thin for this to be something sturdy enough to double as a bra. Maaaaaaaaybe if you are an A cup. I'm only a B and the triangles weren't sufficient. Size up if you get this. 12.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by seavintage cut little bathing suit top I, like another reviewer, am not very large chested so most bathing suits just don't fit right. This one is perfect. It doesn't have those annoying pads that make it look like you have something you don't have. not into that. But this is the perfect little top for our little boobies. :) 11.21.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by freeshan bathing suit and a bra I have four of these. I am a 34B and I get the Large. I use them as a bathing suit top and a bra since they are very comfortable. Any larger than a 36 B might not be the best top for you. 11.9.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by LSM1TH Runs small This top fits more like a bra then a normal swim top... and it definitely runs small. I am a 34C and I tried a medium and ended up giving it to my sister who is a 34B ... and I had to order a large which barley fits. Its a really cute piece and I think its meant to be more revealing, but i am afraid it will not stay where I want it to. 7.7.2012

We didn't win!
Monday, June 14, 2010 at 10:56AM
Just to let you know that we didn't win the Visit Chester and Chester Best Bed and Breakfast award on Friday night. Although we were disappointed not to win, it was a good process to go through, as we updated and quite a few things in the rooms, and they are both looking great! We had a fun night out anyway, got home very late, and then I had to get up to serve breakfast in the morning!! Anyway, just so long as our guests have a great time when they come and stay with us, that's the main thing!!

This is an interesting video in which Aikikai Shihan Hayato Osawa demonstrates a variety of "Go no Sen" techniques where uke takes the initiative. Due to the late response, there is no margin for error and nage must act quickly and precisely to take over control of the technique. For this reason, Osawa Sensei's techniques are executed with great speed and lightness to absorb uke's attacking energy…

The Junk Drawer Trip
Everybody has one. That drawer full of odds and ends that are all invaluable in their own right, but too small and insignificant to have a place of their own. So they all get lumped together into one big beautiful menagerie.
That's how this trip went down. No one big destination worthy of designation, but a whole lot of missed odds and ends left over from previous trips out West. Just 9 days, 4000+ miles by myself in this great big country of ours. You just can't go wrong in Colorado and Utah - the riding and scenery are just soooo good.
But to say these destinations aren't worthy of designation is a damn mistake. I take that back.

Just like my CDR Trip, there is one major problem in the way:
Ohio and Colorado have 1 thing in common. They are separated by a 1400 mile sea of CORN. We must eat a LOT of tortilla chips or something. Bonus this year was near 100 degree heat indices, and sweltering humidity. I think I may have bought equal amounts of gas and water on the trip out.
But all whining aside, two 700 mile days brought me to Colorado Springs, and the base of Pikes Peak. But let's talk about Denver college girls for a minute.
Heading down I-25 past Denver, I'm getting gridlocked in unexpected Sunday traffic. It's moving OK I guess, but it's beginning to be a bad ending to some long, hot days on the highway. But some errant driving on my immediate right catches my attention. I look over to see 4 very nice things in the rear seats of this vehicle.
Fresh, young college boobs being flashed for my viewing pleasure!
Dammit - I have to keep my eyes forward on the changing vehicle speeds ahead of me - but seconds later I see the same thing happening in to my left! But this car it's the front seat passenger and 2 in the back. What the hell! My heart sank as my lane slowed and they drifted forward out of viewing range. Why, why, why couldn't this happen back in Nebraska where there was nothing for miles?
I'm guessing it was some type of college prank or sorority dare thing - or they are just really big fans of ADV bikes or something. Maybe just pure drunkenness. Does it really matter?
FWIW, the 'equipment' on the right was more to my liking. A bit more, ummm ... perky, with more defined 'features.'
I really, really need a GoPro.

So, after a Sunday night replenishment session consisting of a gigantic plate of Mexican food, and some Fat Tire Ales – I was ready to have some fun after the drone.
Woke up and rolled out of the Mecca Motel . Love hotels like this. Small, family owned, clean. Park right in front of your door. Oh yeah, almost forgot the most important part – cheap!
Today's first destination looming in the background. Pikes Peak.
Headed up the access road, and paid my fee to the man. There was a cyclist behind me at the entrance, and I asked if he had to pay to ride up. Same fee as me. I think if a cyclist makes it to the top, they should get refunded when back at the bottom. Just sayin'.
I was riding pretty sketchy for the first dozen or so turns, as the last 2 days of straight miles had rotted my skills. But this road is a hell of a lot of fun, not easily captured with photos. As I progressed upward, the wind was getting stronger and stronger. To the point where each time you came around a corner, you had to be ready for a 2-3 foot shift in your lane position as the gusts pushed you from an ever changing direction. It wasn't long after timberline when I saw the group of 20 or so motorcycles stopped on the next ridge. Uh oh.
Damn. They were stopping bikes from continuing up any farther. I knew the wind was getting out of hand, but just chose to deny it. But the roadblock didn't give me much choice. But I made the most of it, by careening back down the mountain with an ear-to-ear grin. The aforementioned cyclist was not looking all too happy about the wind situation BTW. So, Pikes Peak goes back into the Junk Drawer.
Almost forgot. Tropical Storm Ivo. I was running 48-72 hours behind the worst of this storm system that came up from Mexico and made a mess out of sections of CO and UT. All things considered, I made it through with mostly success. But a few things, like PP, got fouled from the unsettled atmosphere.
Next part of the day was a fast road ride up to Como to pick up where I left off on the CDR in 2011. I was downright giddy to be back on dirt and enjoying the sunshine.
But the bumpy road and my vigilant rehydration got the best of me, so I pulled over to take a whiz. I then realized that I was pissing at an 'intersection' of sorts.
Really? What the hell is this road sign doing out here? This is the 'road' leading to the West away from that intersection:
The sign just seemed so out of place. Little did I know that a major douching was on the way. But not from the sky.
I misjudged this crossing by a longshot. I saw the rock poking out on the left (right in the pic) and shrugged it off as shallow. Holy shit was I wrong. That rock must be sitting on a dam ledge or something. As I plopped in it was immediately apparent that this is deeper that it looked! My knees were pushing the wake, and water splashed up an onto my arms, chest, and shield. I couldn't see a damn thing! I just gunned it and churned through and up the other side. The rut is pretty visible. Luck prevailed on that one. Damn you Ivo.
Salida is down there somewhere:
Through Salida for some lunch and gas, and onward toward Lake City via Marshall Pass.
It was fun to meet several Divide cyclists taking a break up on top of the pass. Hats and helmets off to those adventurous souls willing to do the CDR on bicycles. I'm a lifelong cyclist, and have done lots of crazy long distance stuff on bikes – but I think a motor is good equipment to have along on this route.
Shortly after Sargents, heavy rain cock-blocked me from taking my intended dirt route to Lake City. (Thanks Cannonshot, at least I was prepared!) But in CO, a road detour is still always a great time, and it left me with some time to chill and look around before calling it a night in perhaps the best moto camp spot I have ever scored.
Traveler's note: Listen to the campground host if there is one. I missed that site, as it was a walk-in. I had the whole place to myself, so he suggested that spot as the best view in the place.

Tuesday, part one.
Tuesday was a loooooong day. Since the weather looked cooperative, I really put the hammer down to get some dry ground covered. I putted back down to Lake City, devoured a gnarly breakfast burrito, and then headed up Cinnamon Pass.
Don't screw up to the left, thats for sure.
You will notice a lack of pictures from here to the top. Cinnamon Pass is from my knowledge considered an easy pass. With only a few years riding under my belt, solo, a loaded pig, and far from home – it was definitely at the upper range of my skill set. As each section passed, I was like "shit, I hope it doesn't get any harder…" but then it would. But I kept at it, and only dropped it once. I stalled right as I crept over a moderate rock step. Farts. I saw stars after I picked piggy up by myself! Minor pannier carnage – a little memento of my journey was the only evidence. But then it just lets up, and lets you motor to the top easy peasy.
Put 'er in gear and started creeping down to Animas Forks:
I really dug Animas Forks. The fact that you are allowed to explore the buildings on your own accord is amazing to me. No warning signs, barricades, etc.
Time to backtrack across that bridge…
…and head down to civilization.

Mo Tuesday
And speaking of ghost towns, its pretty quiet in here all by myself. Oh well, I will keep moving on .
I absolutely raged down 550 to Durango. The Million Dollar Highway is one fine piece of blacktop. No pics buddy. I had clear road ahead and some RVs behind, so no way was I stopping to take photos!
Soon the Western foothills give way to arid conditions as you head toward Utah.
An onward towards Mexican Hat. I love how the roads just hug the landscapes out West.
Hang a right, and head out onto Valley of the Gods Road:
I was pretty happy to see how quick the road had dried out. I wasnt sure if it was going to be doable.
But you did have to keep an eye on the road though. The recent rains had left some of the washes a bit gnarled:
And then this. GPS showed me being about a mile from the end of the loop. I hopped off, and gave it test in a few spots. Pure mush quicksand no way to ride through I could find. I was just about to head back out the long way, when a small singletrack go-around caught my eye. Literally a tire track width, and it looked a like it had been used a few times. I went around carefully, and continued on nice and dry.
Next up: Were gonna ride up this:

Tuesday, again.
It's pretty wild to be riding right into a rock cliff, with no real clear way up visible.
But of course there is, and it's one of the wildest easy access public roads I've been on. Kind of like a mild version of the Schafer Trail in Moab:
Valley of the Gods, and the road you took to get here trailing off in the distance below…
Then hang another left, and ride 1000MPH* out to Muley Point:
*edit: I want to add a little more here. I missed this comment in my notebook about Muley Point Road ... "Baja 1000 motherfucker!" This road had been graded/repaired in the day or two before I got here. That was clear form the condition and fresh action on the stubs used for turnarounds, etc. It was packed solid, and slightly damp. Tractiono mucho. It may not have been 1000MPH, but I was cookin'. The road just undulated up and down, with the suspension compressing in every dip - and extending on every peak. So simple, yet so fun. Damn I love times like this.
I want to find THAT road next time:
Bike in this one for scale.
I've never seen Utah like this. Damp roads, water in the washes, and standing water.
I told, you – this was a looong day. And I'm lugging the f*ck out of my bike taking this pic. Idiot.
Toward Natural Bridges:
Long day in the saddle, temps from near 40 to almost 100. Not a drop of rain on me, but it was nearby almost all the time. Love Utah.

I was in neutral, idling right at the turnoff for the track section you gave me from Sargents to Lake City - - and the sky was pure black to the South and West.
I can't complain too much. I was able to do much of what I was after, but Ivo definitely boogered up the plans.
Thanks (again) for the route help!

A `Night Out' of a different sort
By kbender
Monday, August 4th, 2008 at 9:52 am in Uncategorized.
Tomorrow night it is expected that more than 35 million people nationwide will leave the lonely glare of their television sets and walk outside and meet their neighbors.
Tuesday is the 25th anniversary of National Night Out. The idea is to get people, police, community groups, businesses, elected officials and civic groups to come to block parties and events in an effort to "meet and greet" and heighten crime, drug and prevention awareness. That type of thing is always needed, but 2008 has been a particularly bloody year in Berkeley and Oakland, with eight homicides already this year in Berkeley and 81 in Oakland to date.
The idea is to also strengthen neighborhood spirit and police and community partnerships. Again, always needed.
Events in Berkeley will run from 6:30-9:00 p.m. with the bulk of events getting going around 7:00 p.m. Last year's National Night Out celebration involved community members, city, town and county employees and staff, law enforcement agencies, fire personnel, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood groups and local officials from more than 10,000 communities in all 50 states and U.S. territories.
"National Night Out is truly a feel good" event," said Sgt. Mary Kusmiss in Berkeley. "It began as a crime and drug prevention event, but has evolved into an overall celebration of community."
Come out and join em. Your TV will be there when you get back.

That Brussels Declaration describes and launches a systematic 'Brussels Process,' designed to stimulate public debate on the conflict between sharia and liberty; to provide a counterweight to the efforts of the OIC to impose blasphemy laws in Europe and other countries; to re-establish standards of good governance and reasonable foreign relations based on the UN Declaration of Human Rights and national constitutions; and to reject the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam as a basis for any discussions on human rights and civil liberties. (Read More)
Working Groups for the Brussels Process were organized to develop legislative initiatives and briefings for policymakers and the media, in order to work to implement the Brussels Process as a moderate and prudent approach to protect free expression and human rights. The Brussels Declaration was developed with ongoing consultation with legislators in several countries.
To Preserve Free Speech, Civil Liberties, Human Rights and Democracy, against all efforts to injure and usurp those universal principles, we call upon leaders in all nations to support this 2012 Brussels Declaration to Safeguard Individual Liberties and Human Rights:
Reasserting that Human rights and liberties are universal, individual, equal, inalienable, and self-evident irrespective of philosophical, cultural or religious considerations, as a matter of long-held principle;
Considering that any honest defender of Democracy has the right and the duty to uphold and defend free speech, civil liberties and human rights;
Affirming the irrefutable fact that sharia law as articulated and applied is incompatible with and destructive to free speech, civil liberties and human rights and as such is incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy (as stated in the 13 Feb 2003 judgment of the ECHR);
Acknowledging that the declaration known as "Cairo Declaration of Human Right in Islam" also commonly referred to as the "Cairo Declaration" curtails all human rights under sharia law and sharia normative behavior restrictions (CDHRI Articles 22, 23, 24)on the pretense that "All human beings form one family whose members are united by their subordination to Allah"(CDHRI Article 1);
Observing that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), being the creator of Cairo Declaration and its current main proponent has, by its continuous and single-minded activity, proven to be the principal international politico-religious organization working to restrict free speech, civil liberties and human rights and to enforce sharia in the world;
Asserting that any official endorsement or promotion of the Cairo Declaration or any cooperation with OIC that leads, by the test of consequences, to more enforcement of sharia anywhere in the world identifies its perpetrator as an active opponent of Democracy, freedom of speech, civil liberties and human rights;
Noting that such an identification renders illegitimate any attempt by the perpetrator to discuss or negotiate matters involving freedom of speech, civil liberties and human rights in any local, national or international forums;

Similarities Between Children And Their Parents
The Similarities and Differences Between Parents and Their Children
The transition from childhood to adulthood is a journey undergone by all, but all in a different way. While some people believe that the maturation process is a time for one to develop one's individuality and uniqueness from one's parental figures, others believe that growing up is a fine-tuning of beliefs, morals and ideology passed down from generation to generation. The old saying A chip of the old block in most cases applies to every human, regardless of how different one may seem from one's parents. Qualities are inherited that cannot be suppressed and will always prevail despite how much one may want to differ form one's parents. While protruding into this topic, valuable issues must be discussed; moral ideology, lifestyles, social influences, and physical attributes are all factors in the distinction between a child and his/her parents.
Morals are one of the key ingredients in raising a child. These thoughts are passed from the parent to the youngster from birth and possibly even as far as death. Parents are always helping the development of morals weather intentional or through actions displayed by the parent. Although a parent may not even realize that morals are being taught, the idea of good and bad are presented even in the act of disciplining a child. Kids grow up learning how to handle situations from past experiences and the lessons that have bee...

Will high court hear eBay appeal?

eBay seeks patent ruling from Supreme CourtJuly 27, 2005
eBay wins stay in MercExchange caseMay 13, 2005
Jury: eBay guilty of patent infringementMay 27, 2003
The court on Monday is expected to announce whether it will hear an appeal in the case of eBay v. MercExchange. A conference on the matter was scheduled for Friday, according to the court's docket.
Two years ago, a federal trial court found eBay guilty of infringing networking-systems developer MercExchange's patent for the "Buy it Now" feature on fixed-price sales; it slapped the company with $25 million in damages. But a federal appeals court granted a stay on the case earlier this year, while eBay sought Supreme Court action.
The broader question eBay wants the high court to address is whether companies held liable for patent infringement should be readily subject to injunctions--that is, prohibition from using the patent in question--while their cases are on appeal. According to an existing statute, courts are supposed to award such injunctions with discretion. But over the past several years, they have made them almost automatically, said Sharon Barner, a patent lawyer at Foley & Lardner in Chicago.
"That's a very, very powerful weapon for most businesses, because at the end of the day, you have a product to get out, a business to conduct," Barner said in a morning conference call with reporters.
Even so, Barner and colleague Stephen Maebius, a former patent examiner and a partner at Foley & Lardner's Washington, D.C., office, said they were doubtful that the high court would take the case.
That's because the court tends to look for situations where there's a clear conflict in the law, Maebius said, and in this case, "it's pretty clear that the body of case law has always said that you're allowed to get an injunction regardless of whether you practice the invention."
Maebius said there was a far greater chance that the high court would take a case on appeal involving two somewhat obscure companies, KSR International and Teleflex, and a patent for a vehicle accelerator pedal. The question in that suit surrounds the idea of "obviousness" in patents--specifically, whether it's legal to secure a new patent on an invention created from a combination of old ones.
The answer to that question could have broad implications for technology companies. Microsoft and Cisco Systems were among corporations that filed a joint brief with the Supreme Court in the case, arguing that they have been sued multiple times for "questionable" patents. Cisco said it has had to obtain hundreds of "defensive" patents so that it can "neutralize the effect of these obvious patents."
"For that reason, you might see the court grant certiorari and say we need to raise the bar a little bit for obviousness, and we need to make it tougher for people to get patents issued," Maebius said. The Supreme Court's docket did not indicate when a decision on whether to take the case may emerge.
Whether the court accepts the cases--and if so, what it ultimately decides--could influence congressional action as debate continues over a controversial plan to overhaul the patent system. That measure, however, has seen no action since hearings in September.

- Ebay is one of the newer IP bullies.
- YES, there is little doubt that Ebay is one of the newer IP bullies, and like most young punks they stepped far out of line.
Ebay has been drunk on their success, and felt omnipotent...that is until they joined the select group of bullies who have been caught with their hands in other's patent cookie jars.
They and other like minded companies are promoting a host of changes to our patent system which would allow them to take other's inventions without compensation in the future. It is important that we stop this bald faced attempt to socialize inventions for the benefit of a few unsavory companies who care nothing for the fact that America's patent system is the engine which drive our economy.
Inventors found new companies, often whole new industries. They create jobs and tax base for their communities. When companies like Microsoft and Ebay get away with taking an inventor's work the community loses far more than the inventor.
If Ebay and their allies have their way America will cease to be the land of opportunity. We need your help to stop this outrageous attempt to subvert our patent system. Check out the web site.

- eBay the Internet Bullies.
- I have mentioned in other forums, that Patents are designed to protect the inventor, or creator, of their intellectual rights.
It does not matter that it is over words or phrases or designs, a Patent [if granted] gives that person [or corporation] protection for what they have created.
eBay is an Internet bully, as they [in my opinion] have two rules of operation...
Rule 1. eBay is always right. and,
Rule 2. If in doubt refer to Rule 1.
They just think that due to their size they are above the Laws of any country.
This is evident with the way inwhich eBay has designed their own website, to be so complicated that the layperson has difficulty in communicating with them.
When one has a problem, or complaint, and it is not listed in eBay's Operations Manual, all the sender gets is a stupid computer generated response that treats the writer with distain, and it always take months to even partially resolve the original complaint or problem, and meanwhile eBay steadfastly refuses to grant any 'stay' to the members' registration whilst their is a debate occurring.
In Australia, eBay's offices in Sydney must be automated, because when one attempts to telephone them on their number listed in the directory, all one gets is yet another computer generated voice telling you that they only correspond by email or letter, and do not speak directly to 'members'.
Furthermore, eBay must be running scared, as they have implemented steps to hire a debt collection agency to retrieve their deliquent accounts, and I can bet that they will be charging the 'members' obscurely for doing so.
In the event that eBay is unsuccessful; what happens to one of the largest auction sites on the Internet?
I will be very interested indeed to hear the resultant judgement from the US Supreme Court.
Let Justice Prevail.

Defining Public Humanities
The Brown Center for Public Humanities defines public humanities through our teaching, projects, and publications. This is an important, ongoing, project as we change the field and the field changes us.
Brown was the first university to offer an M.A. program in public humanities, and so constructing a curriculum required identifying the methods and topics that are central to this emerging field. The program aims to produce thoughtful, skilled public humanities practitioners who can get the jobs they want when they graduate, and who will possess the knowledge and understandings they need to shape the profession in significant ways.
Our curriculum has three parts: theory, content, and practice. Theory includes considerations of community, commemoration, and representation. Content covers the whole of the humanities, giving students a strong background in their chosen academic areas. Practical skills include techniques of recording, presenting and interpreting, from oral history to museum collections and exhibits; ways of working with communities, from cultural policy to measuring impact; and ways of working in organizations, from governance to management to fundraising.
Part of the challenge of defining public humanities is striking the right balance of theory, content, and practice. For one recent consideration of that balance, see Steven Lubar's talk to the entering class of 2014.
Our programs and projects manifest our definition of the public humanities. Students and faculty have reinterpreted historic houses, worked with communities to preserve and present their past, curated artists in site-specific work, organized museum exhibitions, and helped reshape government cultural policy. Through such projects, participants enact public humanities on a local level and shape the larger field by exploring the methods and impact of community-based cultural work.
In addition to exhibitions and public programs, the Center uses digital and print publications to disseminate findings from its educational and hands-on initiatives and to help shape best practices in the field. Faculty and fellows of the Brown Center for Public Humanities regularly present at professional conferences and publish in Oral History Review, Curator: The Museum Journal, Museums, Public Historian, and History News, as well as other journals. The Center's blog addresses these issues; so too does Steven Lubar's blog, On Public Humanities. The Center circulates a weekly paper with news of interest to public humanities students and professionals, the Public Humanities Weekly.
The Center is a cosponsor of a new book series, Humanities and Public Life, published by the University of Iowa Press. The Obermann Center for Advanced Studies at the University of Iowa also supports the series; The Obermann Center's director, Teresa Mangum, and Anne Valk from the Brown Center for Public Humanities serve as series editors. The Humanities and Public Life series spotlights the work of artists, scholars, and activists immersed in publicly engaged projects in which the humanities, arts, and culture inspire community building and civic change. The Humanities and Public Life series meets a pressing need of current and future publicly engaged scholars and partners: documentation of projects that model rigorous work, critical thinking about best practices, and strategies for assessing the value and impact of public art, design, and scholarship.
Working with others to define the public humanities
In affiliation with the national organization, Imagining America, the Center has joined with twelve university-based centers and one state humanities council to understand the varied approaches that are shaping the public humanities. Since 2010, Anne Valk has served as a facilitator of the Public Humanities Institutes & Centers Working Group. The group is examining the missions, activities, and potential of public humanities centers and initiatives to support and inspire a range of publicly engaged practices, from research grants and residencies for students and faculty to lectures, workshops, exhibits, and collaborative research projects.

Wife, 44, shot dead by husband who learned of affair - court told
Posted: July 03, 2012|
A husband shot and killed his wife after learning of her secret affair, a court heard.
David Leeman, 60, murdered his 44-year-old wife Jennie by shooting her five times with a semi-automatic pistol in a barn at their farm in Devon, Exeter Crown Court was told.
Their marriage was already on the rocks when Mrs Leeman, who had two sons and two daughters with the defendant, started seeing another man, Norman Laramy, 40.
In July last year – after just a month together – Mr Laramy moved into a converted barn at the Leemans' farm at Parracombe, near Barnstaple, and continued seeing Mrs Leeman.
When the defendant found out about his wife's affair – just six days before he shot her – she left Higher Cowley Farm and moved in with Mr Laramy. The jury of seven men and five women were told that Mrs Leeman was shot dead at around 5.30pm on September 18 last year.
Leeman, of Higher Cowley Farm, Parracombe, North Devon, denies murder but has admitted manslaughter through loss of control – a plea rejected by the prosecution.
He has, however, pleaded guilty to possession of a prohibited weapon – the gun he used to shoot his wife.
Jurors were told Mrs Leeman had gone to the farm, accompanied by Mr Laramy and two of his children, to return her eight-year-old daughter to her father.
Leeman had asked his wife to accompany him to his office for a two-minute chat and they were then seen walking towards a barn.
Mr Laramy then heard raised voices, Mrs Leeman screaming and then gunshots.
Geoffrey Mercer QC, prosecuting, said: "He (Leeman) shot her (his wife) with a semi-automatic pistol.
"The magazine was loaded with five bullets and the defendant shot her five times – emptying the magazine – at close range to her chest area.
"She would have died very quickly. The prosecution say that this defendant is guilty of murder.
"This happened against the background of the breakdown of their marriage and Jennie Leeman forming a relationship with another man."
He said Mrs Leeman started having a relationship with Mr Laramy in about July, adding: "By that stage there were clearly difficulties in her marriage to the defendant and there were clearly difficulties with her relationship with her two sons."
He said Mr Laramy moved into a converted barn on the farm and his relationship with Mrs Leeman developed or continued without the defendant's knowledge.
"Jennie Leeman had told the defendant that she was leaving him and they agreed that she would move to Bratton Fleming with the two daughters," Mr Mercer said.
He explained that matters came to a head in the week running up to Mrs Leeman's death when one of her sons overheard a telephone conversation between his mother and Mr Laramy and realised they were having an affair.
"Emotions were running high," Mr Mercer said.
"The defendant said that Jennie had not been happy for a number of years and if it had not been him it would have been someone else."
The court was told that Leeman's solicitor wrote to Mrs Leeman about a divorce and proposals for a financial settlement.
Mr Mercer said that Mrs Leeman died when she returned to the farm on the Sunday afternoon when her husband asked her for a quick chat.
"She went with him into the barn, and in fact to her death, unaware he had a loaded gun with him," the prosecutor said.
"Mr Laramy heard arguing and screaming, then a gunshot and then further gunshots."
Mr Mercer said Mr Laramy told his two sons to run to a neighbouring house to raise the alarm and he then ran to the barn. The defendant came out of the barn with the gun in his hand.
"Mr Laramy went into the barn and saw she was dead. When he came out he was confronted by the defendant. The defendant pointed the gun at him and said: 'It should have been you first'."
Leeman's eldest son, Rene, from his first marriage, pushed the gun away and Mr Laramy ran off to call the emergency services.
When Leeman was arrested, he told police: "I did it. She would just not listen.
"I shot the woman I loved because she didn't do what I wanted."
The court heard the family moved to the farm from Northampton in the late-1990s.
But Mr Laramy, a father-of-four, said that Mrs Leeman told him she wanted to leave her husband after discovering Mr Leeman had cheated on her 14 years ago when she was pregnant, Mr Mercer said.
Leeman had bought the gun illegally for "protection" and when he moved to Devon he hid it in a wall inside the farmhouse.
During the week of Mrs Leeman's death, Leeman had gone and found it.
"The prosecution's case is that when he went into the barn with Jennie he had this gun loaded with him," Mr Mercer said.
"He had armed himself with it and he took it out of his pocket and shot her repeatedly."
Mr Mercer explained that Leeman's defence centred on "loss of control" at the time he killed his wife.
"The prosecution case is that the defendant shot her having armed himself with a loaded gun, intending at the time he did it to kill her," Mr Mercer said, adding: "He is guilty of murder."
The trial continues.

Buenos Aires - An Argentine legislator has proposed building a monument to honour Diego Maradona, whose future as Argentina coach has been uncertain since the team was eliminated by Germany in the World Cup quarterfinals.
Juan Cabandie, a member of the lower house of the Argentine congress, sponsored a bill on Tuesday to honour Maradona "as an icon of popular Argentine culture."
One of Maradona's assistant coaches has publicly urged him to stay in the job after the team was thrashed 4-0 by Germany on Saturday. A senior member of the Argentine Football Association has said the decision rests with Maradona, who has yet to make his plans clear.
Maradona has also received encouragement from Argentina President Cristina Fernandez, and on Tuesday two of his players – starting midfielder Angel Di Maria and substitute goalkeeper Mariano Andujar – offered their public support.
"The Argentine people have shown that, when it comes to Maradona, the results are not important," Cabandie said. "Having been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in South Africa, in a lopsided loss, thousands of people came to the streets to meet him and his 23 players."
Maradona is reported to be shut away in his house in the Buenos Aires suburb of Ezeiza. Some newspaper reports suggest he is depressed and wants to quit.
But his unpredictable nature leads few to say for certain he will step away, with the South American continental championship – the Copa America – just a year away and Argentina the host nation.
Building a monument would officially place Maradona in the pantheon of national icons, joining former President Juan Peron, his second wife Eva, and Carlos Gardel, the most important figure in the history of tango.
Maradona led Argentina to its last World Cup title in 1986, the centerpiece of a career in which he was the greatest player of his generation. The career also had many lows, including the 1994 World Cup where he was banned after testing positive for a cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs.
Maradona was appointed national team coach in October 2008 by AFA president Julio Grondona. The tenure has also been a roller coaster.
Argentina struggled to qualify for the World Cup, absorbing embarrassing losses against Bolivia (6-1) and Brazil (3-1). But the team seemed on course in South Africa for a third World Cup title after group-stage wins against Nigeria, South Korea and Greece.
It defeated Mexico 3-1 in the round of 16, leading Maradona to boast about the team's scoring prowess. Then came the humiliating loss to Germany, which again led many to question Maradona's tactical knowledge.
Though 20 000 fans greeted the team's arrival on Sunday, an online poll by the newspaper Clarin showed 63.1 percent wanted Maradona to quit. Other polls showed similar results.
The last major title for Argentina was the Copa America in 1993. The team also won the World Cup in 1978.

text: Hello all. Just wanted to start a thread (not sure of the protocol in the "Greetings" room) introducing myself. I have been a fan probably since Marino to Johnson in '85 (I was about 4) but didn't really get hooked until around 88/89. I lost touch (and faith) when JJ ran Marino out of town; gained some of it back with Saban, was betrayed, but once again I am back with hope. I love this site but am often intimidated (soccer and hockey are my sports, personally). So, that is my hello, perhaps I will contribute, but mostly I will enjoy the quality posts. Cheers!

Tulsa Women Use Late Run to Get Past San Jose State, 66-56
Feb. 28, 2004
Tulsa, Oklahoma - Tulsa's sophomore tandem of Kara Pongonis and Megan Moody drained back-to-back three-pointers to spur a 10-0 run late in the game and lead the Golden Hurricane past San Jose State, 66-56, in the final home contest of the regular season at the Donald W. Reynolds Center.
Tulsa (17-9, 10-6 WAC) was clinging to a three-point lead with 4:13 remaining in the game when sophomore Emily Jaskowiak rebounded a missed jumper by junior Becky Heidotten and banked in the put-back to give TU a five-point cushion. After several missed opportunities by San Jose State (14-11, 6-10 WAC), Moody and Pongonis put the game out of reach with a pair of treys in the span of 1:10 to build an 11-point advantage with 1:06 remaining in the game. Pongonis then connected on consecutive free throw attempts to increase the lead to 13 points, which gave TU its largest of the contest.
With the win, Tulsa recorded its 17th win of the season and tied TU's 2001-02 squad for the most single season wins in school history. The Golden Hurricane also registered the most home wins in one season with a 10-5 home mark this season.
For the second straight game, Moody came off the bench and spurred TU to victory with a hot hand from behind the three-point line. After hitting 5-of-6 treys and finishing with 17 points in TU's previous game against Hawaii, Moody picked up where she left off and nailed 5-of-7 three-pointers against San Jose State to finish with 15 points. She was 2-of-2 in the first half and 3-of-5 from beyond the arc in the second half. Pongonis also finished with 15 points, and recorded four three pointers on the day. Tulsa was 10-of-22 from long range for 45.5 percent.
Along with Moody and Pongonis, senior Candice Brewer chalked up 10 points and eight assists in her final collegiate home game. TU out rebounded the Spartans, 45-34.
Cricket Williams led three Spartans into double figures with 15 points, but managed to hit just 5-of-21 field goal attempts. Teoma Taylor added 14 points, while Lamisha Augustine contributed 10 points.
The first half featured two ties and three lead changes. Brewer gave Tulsa the lead for good with three-pointer at the 16:30 mark in the first half. However, TU was unable to break away from the Spartans and led by seven points, 32-35, at intermission.

The Mount Allison Faculty Association will be holding a strike vote next Monday and Tuesday.
SACKVILLE, N.B. – The Mount Allison Faculty Association, in the midst of labour negotiations with the university, is pleased the provincial government has decided not to appoint a conciliation board to help both sides come to an agreement.
"We are very pleased with the news. This marks a turning point for labour relations in New Brunswick," said MAFA president Loralea Michaelis after hearing the news last month that the Minister of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Jody Carr had issued a decision not to appoint a board in the negotiations.
Michaelis said also last month, the minister decided not to appoint a conciliation board in negotiations between the University of New Brunswick and its academic staff union.
Conciliation boards are allowed under New Brunswick labour legislation but were rarely used until the previous government, the Liberals under Premier Shawn Graham, began appointing conciliation boards in the university sector. Conciliation boards are controversial because they can prolong negotiations, said Michaelis, and can also be expensive for both parties, as well as the government.
"We firmly believe that the best agreements are reached through free and unconstrained collective bargaining," she said.
"We applaud the Alward government for reconsidering what was beginning to look like a new policy on collective bargaining in the university sector. We would like to offer particular thanks to our provincial organization, the Federation of New Brunswick Faculty Associations, for their hard work in making the case for free collective bargaining."
The Mount Allison Faculty Association has been negotiating with Mount Allison University since June and filed for conciliation on August 8. Despite numerous sessions at the table, with the assistance of a conciliator, the parties have been unable to reach an agreement.
The conciliator filed her report on Dec. 9. Now that the minister has decided not to appoint a conciliation board, a countdown begins – as of Dec. 29, MAFA was in a legal position to call a strike vote and the employer was in a legal position to impose a lockout.
However, both sides agreed before the holidays to put the possibility of any labour action on hold until early January and the minister has appointed a mediator to assist the parties through the next stage of the process.
"We look forward to continuing negotiations with the employer in the New Year," said Michaelis. "There are some very serious issues yet to resolve. We are committed to maintaining Mount Allison as one of Canada's leading undergraduate universities and we are confident that the administration will recognize the importance of faculty and librarians to this mission."
MAFA represents 160 full-time and 50 part-time academic staff. Both full-time and part-time collective agreements expired on June 30, 2013.
UPDATE: Michaelis reported yesterday that MAFA will be holding a strike vote next Monday and Tuesday (Jan. 13-14). If supported by a majority, this will allow the executive to call a strike if deemed necessary. Further updates will be posted on MAFA's negotiation website at www.mafanegotiations.ca.

Big East Power Rankings through Week 12 of the regular season
1. Rutgers (9-1, 5-0)
My, oh, my, how the Scarlet Knights must be kicking themselves for that late-October loss at home to Kent State. Had they won that day, they'd be gunning for 12-0 and a spot in the BCS champion—wait, check that. They'd have utterly no shot to get to Miami.
2. Louisville (9-1, 4-1)
Charlie Strong can't be happy about his regular season-ending schedule. The Cardinals host Connecticut on Saturday—then have to play their biggest game of the season, at Rutgers with the Big East title on the line, five days later. That's a real bear of an assignment when you factor in the travel from Kentucky to New Jersey.
3. Syracuse (6-5, 4-2)
Just look at the Orange's performance over the past five weeks: a 4-1 record; an offensive explosion; a three-touchdown beatdown of Louisville; and, most recently, a win at Missouri—which (technically) happens to be an SEC team. Mighty impressive.
4. Cincinnati (7-3, 3-2)
Bummer of a home loss for the Bearcats vs. Rutgers, but Butch Jones wisely points out they can still get to 10 wins. All it'll require is beating South Florida and UConn and finishing things off with a bowl victory. In other words, all it'll require is a bowl victory.
5. Pittsburgh (4-6, 1-4)
To say the Panthers have played up or down depending on the level of their competition would be an understatement. Clearly, any team that's capable of dominating Virginia Tech, going toe-to-toe with Louisville and nearly knocking off Notre Dame in South Bend has a shot at home vs. Rutgers this weekend.
6. Temple (4-6, 2-4)
After five straight games without exceeding 17 points, the Owls had to feel great about that 63-32 win at Army. Syracuse on Friday will present a much tougher challenge. An upset here would put a pretty bow on a drab season.
7. Connecticut (4-6, 1-4)
The Huskies have three players—Yawin Smallwood, Trevardo Williams and Sio Moore—in the Big East top five in tackles for loss. Paul Pasqualoni's defense is best in the league vs. both the run and the pass and leads the way in sacks, to boot. The one thing the D doesn't do hardly at all: create turnovers.
No disrespect to Miami, but that 40-9 loss to the Canes merely proved the Bulls have packed it in. This team is far too talented to perform so poorly. Of course, that's been the story of the season.

"I'm all right, Joey. You go home to your mother and father and grow up to be strong and straight. And Joey ... take care of them, both of them."
The summer after George Stevens Jr. graduated from high school, his father, Oscar-winning filmmaker George Stevens ("A Place in the Sun," "Giant"), hired him to peruse material for his next project for Paramount. One of the books he read was "Shane," Jack Schaefer's 1949 elegiac western novel about a boy named Joey who idolizes a mysterious gunslinger who arrives in his small town while it's in the midst of a battle between homesteaders and a cattle baron.
"I think as a 17-year-old, I probably identified with the little boy a bit," said Stevens, an award-winning producer/director/writer best known as the first director of the American Film Institute and co-creator of the Kennedy Center Honors. He received an honorary Oscar last year.
"I went to see him that night and he was in bed reading," he said. "I had the book with me. I said, 'This is a really a good story; you ought to read it.' He said, 'Tell me the story.' So I walked around his bed telling him the story."
PHOTOS: Behind-the-scenes Classic Hollywood
His father, Stevens said, fell in love with "Shane" because he had been the cinematographer on the 1926 western "The Devil Horse," starring Rex the Wonder Horse.
"I think he saw in it a chance to realize the western world he was very close to and had feelings about since his days as a silent cameraman," Stevens said.
And more important, the carnage his father had seen in Europe during World War II — the elder Stevens had documented the horrors of the Dachau concentration camp — had an indelible effect on him.
"He also saw in it, having just come back from the war, this opportunity to show the power of a .45 pistol," his son said. "He came back and saw these westerns where people shoot and shoot and shoot and get up again and shoot some more. He wanted to show the power of a single bullet, which he had seen in the war."
Released in 1953, "Shane" is considered one of the seminal westerns of the 20th century. It stars Alan Ladd as the enigmatic gunman; Brandon De Wilde as the impressionable Joey; Jean Arthur (in her last feature) and Van Heflin as his parents, Marian and Joe; and Jack Palance as the psychopathic hired gun Jack Wilson who is out to kill Shane.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
Shot primarily on location in Jackson Hole, Wyo., the film won the Oscar for Loyal Griggs' breathtaking Technicolor cinematography. "Shane" also received five other Oscar nominations, including best film and director.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the masterpiece Monday evening at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater with a screening of the new digital restoration of the film. Director James Mangold ("The Wolverine"), who directed the 2007 remake of "3:10 to Yuma," will introduce the film.
"The kind of scope of the film is majestic, and the craftsmanship of the movie is impeccable," said Mangold, who first saw "Shane" on TV when he was young.
"All of that excellence is also married to a story that is so profoundly moving," he continued. "The masculinity of the film is braided with tremendous heart. I think what is universal for adults watching the film is the incredible complicated moment where, as a young child, you begin to understand the profound, shadowed nature of adult life."
"I think it is also a movie that has such directed violence," noted Randy Haberkamp, the academy's managing director for programming, education and preservation. "It's not like the whole thing is one big, giant shoot 'em up. There is this tension and suspense throughout, so when the violence comes it is much more intense because it has been so long coming."
PHOTOS: Fall movie sneaks 2013
Though the film is impeccably cast, Ladd and Heflin were not the first choices to play Shane and Joe. Montgomery Clift was set to play Shane with William Holden as Joe. But Clift, who had worked with Stevens in 1951's "A Place in the Sun," dropped out.
"I don't know the reason," said the younger Stevens. "When Monty dropped out, Holden dropped out and they started from scratch."

Actress and producer Rosario Dawson best known for her film roles in Rent, Death Proof and Eagle Eye takes a trip down memory lane to give t5m an insight into her childhood and how she came to be a movie star.
From humble beginnings, Rosario was discovered at fifteen years old sitting on her stoop and asked to be in a film, Kids, which would ultimately change her life. Rosario tells us how she fell in love with the play 'Rent' because she understood it so well in relation to her own life, and although she had never sung or danced professionally she got the part.
Rosario's story is one of inspiration, ambition and determination – and is not to be missed.

SAN JOSE, California (3/3/09) Weather played havoc at the Juli Inkster Spartan Invitational this week as heavy rain forced the competition to be canceled. The 16 teams attempted to play Monday but managed to complete only seven holes before rain forced a delay of the first round. After a two hour wait the completion of round one was delayed until today while Monday's second round was canceled.
Unfortunately, the weather did not improve much today. Like Monday the teams attempted to complete round one this morning but after two hours play was suspended once again. A decision was then made to cancel the competition all together as the weather forecast saw no immediate improvement and the teams needed to make their return flights home.
The Bronco women's golf team will get a week off before returning to action March 16-18 when they travel to the islands to compete in the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational in Kaneohe, Hawaii.

New centre to mark life of Sir Humphry?
Posted: September 26, 2013|
THE life and work of the best-known son of Penzance could be celebrated in the very same shop where he trained to become an apothecary surgeon.
A group of local people have unveiled ambitious plans to create an exhibition space, shop and café dedicated to Sir Humphry Davy in the historic Peasgoods Pharmacy, right opposite his statue looking down Penzance's Market Jew Street.
The pharmacy operated continually as a chemist from the 1700s until its closure in June 2011.
Best known as the inventor of the miners' safety lamp, Davy was also this week hailed as 'probably a genius' by Professor Brian Cox in his new TV series Science Britannica (see full story on page 7).
The Humphry Davy Project group received the initial backing of the town council at its meeting on Monday and hopes to start applying for funding before the end of the year.
Penny Young, who started the group with Dawn Walker, said she had been in talks with the owner of the Peasgoods' site in Market Jew Street about the possibility of taking out a long lease.
"We would like this to be a centre with links into local schools and community groups, as well as having plenty to appeal to tourists and we hope it will be there for a long time," she said.
"He is such an important figure for the town and there is so much material which we could put on display, yet apart from the statue and a little notice in the shop, there's not much to celebrate him in Penzance.
"There are any number of different avenues to his life which we could explore – for example, he wasn't just a brilliant scientist, he was also a poet with links to the Romantic Poets' movement."
In the four-storey building, the group has plans to create interactive areas where visitors can replicate Davy's experiments and they hope that other organisations will assist in loaning exhibits.
There are also hopes to reintroduce a Humphry Davy Day to the town – a custom not held in Penzance for many years – as well as organising other events such as guided walks and lectures.
As it prepares to start applying for funding, the group is also seeking the backing of the local community to demonstrate the viability of the scheme.

Where's My Heat??January 13th, 2013 at 8:31 am by Jeremy Wheeler under Weather
Yesterday lots of folks were asking that very same question…. Where's the heat? Well what looked like a simple slam-dunk forecast turned into a slightly complicated bust! The forecast was for a warm front to move in and then north.
Well a warm front did move in on Friday. It was headed north, however, it lost its steam yesterday. A weak area of low pressure formed offshore. So the front ended up getting pushed back south all the way into North Carolina as a cold front. This was not forecast by any of the models.
This morning many areas had a lot of moisture and cool temperatures. So widespread fog formed. I did notice though that the winds were out of the south this morning. Also, it looked like the fog was already improving in the metro area as of 8am. Today the front is forecast by many a person and model to head north. So I am pretty optimistic that we will get some clearing and some warming later today, but it's not clear how far northeast the warm front will move. It may not clear the Northern Neck and Eastern Shore by the end of the day. So folks may not warm up as much in those areas. Overall many will see high temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. You'll just need a little more patience.
Tomorrow a cold front will be approaching from the west. We will warm up quite a bit before it gets here. By tomorrow afternoon highs will rise into the low/mid 60s. Possibly upper 60s. That depends on how soon the rain will arrive. If it gets here by late afternoon, then we'll be more in the low-to-mid category. If it arrives in the evening then upper 60s. Temps are expected to drop sharply tomorrow evening. So on Tuesday behind the front, highs are only expected to be in the upper 40s. The front will probably stall out just to our south. So rain will continue from tomorrow night through Wednesday. We could see a couple of inches of chilly rain in the next 4 days. The details and timing of the fronts will probably change a bit so stay tuned.

Sen. Marco Rubio on Why He Thinks President Obama Will Lose in Florida
With less than 24 hours until the polls close in the battleground state of Florida, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined Sean Hannity to give his Election Day predictions. Sen. Rubio noted that in comparison to 2008, early voting margins in terms of more Democrats than Republicans voting is down by half this time around.
Based on those margins, the senator said President Obama doesn't have nearly enough of a lead when it comes to the registration gap going into Election Day. He said with certainty, "They're going to lose."
He assessed, "All the polls show the Independents in Florida are trending towards Romney. […] It's very possible that tonight as we go into Election Day, Romney could actually be up by two to three hundred thousand votes."
