On the Orphic and Pythagorean Underworld and the Pythagorean Pentagram
Johan August Alm
1st 2013 264pp Three Hands Press hardback in d/w. Ltd. ed. 625 copies.
The magical doctrines of the ancient Orphics and Pythagoreans are poorly understood by modern scholars, in part because they were secretive in their own time. Well-known for speaking in riddles and complex ciphers, its adepts were bound by strict taboo and silence, the breaking of which was punishable by death. The enigma of the cult's teachings was further shrouded by centuries of suppression, and, in some cases, appropriation or misrepresentation, by the growing forces of Christianity. What remains today are the fragments of its lost books, together with the words of those who, for good or ill, wrote about them. In an original interpretation and synthesis apt for today's student of ancient mysticism and the occult, August Alm advances a new conception of these ancient mystery-cults and their sublime doctrines of Chaos, Darkness and Light.
A foundational part of these ancient Greek mystery-cults was the concept of Tartaros. As the abyss of primeval darkness and chaos, Tartaros was, in its most ancient conception, the birthplace of the human soul and the cosmos itself. This vast and incomprehensible dominion held at its center a great fire, an Axis Mundi about which the universe was arranged. In later eras, it passed into myth as a vast and voidful underworld; a place of binding for condemned souls and the enemies of gods, sealed fast with barriers of bronze and iron. Christians later appropriated it as a partition of their own concept of eternal punishment, a division of hell which constrained no less than the fallen angels.
An equally enigmatic Pythagorean cipher is the symbol of the Pentagram, or five-fold star, whose form has been revered in western magic for some three millennia, but whose origins and original attributes are shrouded in mystery. Its attribution to the four elements, joined together with aither, was popularized in the middle ages and is its best-known meaning in modern occult sciences. However, its earlier Pythagorean usage was related to health and well-being, and almost certainly adumbrated another retinue of arcana, one which was ancient even at the time of Pythagoras.
Exhuming the scattered fragments of these two elder doctrines of Tartaros and the Pentagram, Alm examines their reverberation as occult –and occluded-- concepts through centuries of philosophical thought, in a line connecting the shadowy teachings of such 'dark traditions' as the Orphics and the Pythagoreans, later penetrating the adyta of Neoplatonism. Arguing for a new undertanding of the Pentagram, he connects its fivefold mystery to the great powers of Tartaros, and also to such terrifying gods such as Hecate, Nyx, Erebos, Typhon, Cerberus, and the Erinyes. This strand of mystery touches upon such related concepts as the high theogony implicit within the Platonic Solids, the shadowy influence of the Cult of the Idaean Dactyls on Pythagoreanism, the Light which is rooted in Darkness, and the magical pathology of the 'Unrooted Tree'. £39.99
A Study of Ordeals and the Making of Compacts
Peter Hamilton-Giles
1st 2013 176pp Three Hands Press h/b in d/w. 10 Illustrations by Carolyn Hamilton-Giles. Ltd. ed. 666 copies.
A shared feature of genuine magical practice and religious experience is the impression of 'Otherness', an entic arena of alienation and unfamiliarity. Contrasted with the more comfortable and known spheres of the Self, this 'state apart' provides not only inspiration and wonder, it is the dwelling-place of the gods and the prime source of gnosis, direct experience with the divine. The Afflicted Mirror, based on a research paper presented at the 1996 AAA Anthropology of Religion inaugural conference in Kansas, suggests that for the metaphysical domain to become significant it must distort its appearance so as to attract our attention. This leads not only to validating the existence of the 'Other' but also illustrates its influence on how we shape the world. Providing groundbreaking insight on the magician's actuated relationship with spirits and Gods, The Afflicted Mirror offers a pioneering examination of a topic often overlooked by scholars. As an original phenomenological model, Peter Hamilton-Giles' The Afflicted Mirror unites such diverse spiritual states as the mysticism of the Seer, the religious ecstasy of the Saint, and the spirit-conjurations of the sorcerer. £39.99

"Water, I exhort you olansgält. Lucifer, I exhort you with all your company, that you will bring my belongings back again. May the thief never come to peace, neither at night nor at day, sleeping or awake, riding or on foot or by any means, until he returns what he has stolen..." - From A Spell To Catch Thieves
Amid the great genres of European magical books are the Scandinavian Svartkonstböcker or 'Books of Black Arts', the privately-kept practical manuals of magic used by rural charmers and practitioners of folk magic. Incorporating charms, prayers, and curses, as well as medicine, alchemy and physical experiments, many of these books survive today in universities and private collections. While bearing some relationship to the corpus of European grimoires which feature angelic and demonic magic, the Svartkonstböcker as texts of magic are in a class all their own.
Salomonic Magical Arts consists of two such volumes, originally handwritten in the early eighteenth century. Named The Red Book and The Black Book by one of their owners, they passed through the hands of priests and cunning men before coming to rest in academic institutions. Invoking a variety of spirtual powers ranging from Christ to Beelzebub, its magical formulae, numbering in excess of 450 individual receipts, serve as a testament to the endurance of sorcery in the early modern era. The book will also be of interest to students of magical herbalism, alchemy, folk medicine, and animal husbandry, as many of these currents intersect in the pages of this magical manual. Published in Swedish in 1918, Salomonic Magic Arts is here made available in English for the first time.
Introducing the work is a substantive introduction by the translator, which places the book in its cultural and magico-historical context, including Swedish cunning-folk traditions (trolldom) the European grimoire tradition, traditional magical healing, pagan belief, and the relationship between folk magic and the church. £49.99

"You ketch a hopping toad and carry that in your bosom till that's rotted right away to the back-boon. Then you take and hold that over running water at midnight till the Devil he come to you and pull you over the water… and then you be a witch and you kin dew all mander of badness to people and her power over 'em."
So spoke Tilly Baldry of Huntingtoft, an English wise-woman of the 19th century, describing the ritual of obtaining the witches amulet known as the toad-bone. Known to rural folk magicians and secret societies such as the Society of the Horseman's Word, the exacting ritual of killing a toad to obtain the bone of power has been documented in various forms and cultural milieus for two millennia, though its origin is likely far older. Focusing on extant forms in Britain and Europe, Chumbley traces the metamorphosis of the toad-bone amulet from its beginning as a talisman for controlling animals to its ultimate manifestation as a conduit of diabolic power of the 'Toad-Witch'. The first academic study of this little-known aspect of folk magic, The Leaper Between is here presented in unabridged form, newly typeset in several fine bindings worthy of its fascination. It will be of interest to students of comparative religion, magic, and folklore alike. £12.99

We might symbolise the process of oneiric spiritualisation as a "siderealisation" — a translation of the flesh to the stars — back to the domain of the Gudean goddess, back to the domain of the primordial smaragdine book.
Written as an undergraduate as SOAS University of London in 2001, Mysticism: Initiation and Dream would foreshadow the concerns of Andrew Chumbley's later doctoral research on the transcendental nature of the magical dream. In the course of his exposition, the concepts of the Initiatic Dream are traced to furthest antiquity, epitomized by the participatory nature of the Mystic within the Oneiric Realm. The axiomata of Dream Reification and Rarefaction are introduced as defining processes of this twilight pilgrimage, both of a gnostic and illuminative character. At the time of his matriculation, Chumbley had already established a solid reputation as an occult author and practitioner of widely varying spiritual disciplines. His highly-acclaimed books Azoëtia (1992) and Qutub (1995) arose not only from the solid foundation of magical practice and theory, but also from a highly complex mystical dream-praxis, perfected for many years. Though forming the core of his coursework, Mysticism - together with the bulk of his SOAS essays - were written in a transcendent dialogist style altogether in concord with the body of his occult work. Drawing upon sources as diverse as the dream-vision of Christian saints, Sufic oneiric texts, and Bonpo termas, Chumbley here presents an arcane cartography of the dream as the eternal vessel for the perichoresis of matter and spirit. £34.99
THE DEVIL'S RAIMENTS: Habiliments of the Witches' Craft (OCCULT MONOGRAPH NO. 2)
Martin Duffy
1st 2012 96pp Three Hands Press h/b. in d/w. Ltd. ed. 1000 copies.
Clad in the black robe, or daubed in black unguent as a consecration of wisdom, we are one with the hidden and secret realm of Night, and when so enveloped become the fertile void wherein we may receive the inspiration of the Muse or Genius.
In occult literature, the Vestments of the Art Magical are poorly understood, principally because few save the body of initiates behold them. The robe, mask, hood, mantle, garter, and veil, constituting the exterior arrayments of the witch, trace their pedigree to a number of magical sources, each constituting a mystery of form and function.
These mystical underpinnings often possess a deeper arcanum, being both emblematic of specified witch-powers and serving a hidden ritual purpose. In The Devil's Raiments, Martin Duffy examines the relationship of the sorcerer to that which clothes him, with particular emphasis on the witch-cult. Also explored is the modern perception of the witch as the Naked Enchantress, as well as the some of the older historical rationales for the portrayal of nudity in witchcraft. The text is illustrated with five original drawings by Sussex artist Steve Damerell. £34.99

With the center of the circle as a starting point, orientation can take on precise meaning in the context of its ritual, which was designed to secure spiritual knowledge and material dominion in the world through the agency of spirits, stars and cabalistic arcana.
Magic Circles have been depicted in popular expressions of magic and witchcraft as well as detailed with full rubrics in traditional manuals of magic such as the Clavicula Solomonis or Liber Juratus. Using narrative, visual and textual material available from European grimoires and manuscripts, the author discusses the various forms and functions of this important piece of apparatus employed by magicians in the Western Esoteric Tradition, including their role in providing authority and protection to the operator, as well as examples of their use in divination and treasure finding. Additionally, contemporary examples of the magic circle at work in modern esoteric praxis are provided and discussed in light of the traditional approaches they exhibit. This monograph serves to explicate this important tool of ceremonial magic and is valuable to practitioners of the art magical with its technical data, while also providing context in historical settings for the merely curious reader of occult subjects.

The Praxis of the Otherworldly Journey to the Witches' Sabbat
Michael Howard
1st 2013 56pp Three Hands Press hardback in dustwrapper. 6 illus. Ltd. Ed. 1000 copies.
Three Hands Press Occult Monograph No. 4
The Devil read out a roster of those present from a black book. A fire was then lit and the Horned One sat on a throne to receive the worship of his followers. At his side was the leading female witch, a woman known as the Queen of the Sabbath. The witches saluted the Devil by means of the osculum infame or 'obscene kiss', which was given under the tail…
As has been established by historians such as Dr. Carlo Ginzburg and Éva Pócs, the topological elements of the medieval Witches' Sabbat –the ecstatic nocturnalia of the lamiae — carry relics of the ancient spirit-cults and localized folk-beliefs of Europe. Elements haunting witchcraft-practices included the night-roving denizens of the Wild Hunt, the exteriorised or shapeshifted spirit-double, and the profaned sacraments of Christianity itself. Of particular interest in the present essay is the phenomenon of nocturnal spirit-travel and its connections to present-day occult practice as manifested within the Sabbatic Cultus of traditional witchcraft.
In this fourth book in the Three Hands Press Occult Monograph Series, British folklorist Michael Howard casts an eye over such elements as the ancestral horde, the flight of the Furious Host, and the entheogenic Witches Salve, each of which played a unique role in the Sabbat of the Witches. The mythos of the Sabbatic conclave, containing infernal and diabolical elements, is taken beyond its Christian pathology to connect it with actual practices in folk-magic. £34.99

Written in the great tradition of the medieval bestiaries, Robert Fitzgerald's long-awaited new work Arcanum Bestiarum re-imagines the animal menagerie in the context of bestial mystery and atavistic power. Written for the modern magical practitioner and zoophile, the 272-page volume examines the occult virtues and totemic majesties of fifty animals, theriomorphs, and their kindred. Correspondences with deific powers, atavistic wisdom, and mythopoetic emanation are examined, especially in light of the tutelary powers all animals possess.
The Tetramorph – essentially an animalic 'crown of creation' – is here transformed into the far broader and innovative concept of the 'Theriomorph', or, the Zodiak Entire of Creation as an apotheosis of the animal form and zoötype… One of the greatest of virtues possessed by the Human is its bestial heritage, both spiritually and genetically. These attributes are often seen as primitive, chaotic and dangerous to civilized culture by the custodians of moralism and religion today, but the fact remains that it is our animal heritage that makes us what we are, or, more accurately, what we should and can be.
Special attention is given to the zoomorphic aspects of alchemy, which historically used the bestial emblemata as veils of the stages of the Great Work, as well as shamanism and witchcraft, bodies of knowledge particularly rich in the lore of animals as spirit-helpers. The work is an emergent strand of magical investigation long part of the author's private life, where he has worked in the ecological field of wildlife rehabilitation, especially raptors.
The text is graced with fifty-five original woodcut illustrations by artist Liv Rainey-Smith, prepared especially for this title in close collaboration with the author. Amongst the more ambitious renderings in the work are the occult cryptofauna Homunculus, Manticore, Ouroboros, and Basilisk, as well as animals prominent in the ancient dawn of magick: the Bear, Goat, Viper, Peacock, and more. Completing the design elements is an original typeface designed for the work by calligrapher Gail Coppock, serving to illuminate this grimoire of the Magician's Primal Eden. £49.99
A Study of Modern Traditional Witches
Michael Howard
2011 344pp Three Hands Press h/b in d/w. Illus. inc. colour.
The mid twentieth century witnessed the birth of popular occultism in the West, including an interest in witchcraft. At the forefront of popular witchcraft was Wicca, a recension of ceremonial magic and nature worship advanced by Gerald Gardner and Alex Sanders, now widely regarded as a religion. However, lesser known streams of the witch current thrived in the shadows, having older historical roots, and linked to an ancient body of practice – witch bottles, knotted cord spells, curses, exorcisms, sexual magic and charms ranging from the conjuration of angels to protection of livestock and hearth. This was Traditional Witchcraft, whose origin in part lies with the corcery of the cunning folk of Britain and Colonial America. Though largely avoiding the popular occult limelight, from 1970 onward, elements of Traditional Witchcraft experienced a partial emergence into the public through such publications as Paul Huson's Mastering Witchcraft, the writings of Robert Cochrane and Evan John Jones, and Andrew Chumbley's Azoetia: A Grimoire of the Sabbatic Craft. Based on over forty years of research and private collaboration with practitioners, Michael Howard's Children of Cain is the definitive history of Traditional Witchcraft and its key operatives in Britain and the United States. Supplemented with diverse photographs and illustrations, many appearing for the first time, th book artfully encompasses the unique legacy of Traditional Witchcraft – those who bear the Mark of the Exile as a sign of hidden power: the Children of Cain. £39.99

The widespread belief in witches and wizards in Wales reflects a land steeped in legend and myth since ancient times. The witch's power to harm people, livestock and crops was greatly feared; for this reason country people consulted with so-called 'cunning men' and 'wise women' who had the power to negate their spells with counter-magic. Cunning-folk practitioners were also consulted for love spells, to find lost property or missing persons, exorcise ghosts and banish evil spirits. The figures of both witch and wizard form part of a broader folk-magic continuity in Wales. This popular belief in witchcraft bears little relation to modern neo-pagan Wicca, and there is little evidence of its linkage to a nature religion based on a pre-Christian fertility cult.
This book describes the historically-attested Welsh practitioners of folk magic and witchcraft – the Dark Sisters and the Toadmen, the Druids and Wizards, the Cunning Men and Faery Doctors – and the charms and spells they used. Also examined are surviving pagan beliefs associated with holy wells and the cult of the sacred head, and the mysterious and sometimes sinister 'creatures of the night' such as faeries, lake monsters, dragons and Black Dogs. It will be of interest to students of the occult and folklore, as well as those who have followed Mr. Howard's fascinating work over the years. £15.99

In 1930 a correspondent writing to the Western Morning Post newspaper confidently asserted "We live in an age when those old twilight beliefs are disappearing". The beliefs in question were various aspects of popular superstition and the supernatural once widely accepted by people in the West Country. In response to this assertion, a correspondent called Padely Silvanus said he lived on the border of Dartmoor and could introduce the previous writer to a haunted bridge that nobody would cross at night. He could also take him to a dell where faeries were still seen to dance, a place on the moor where an earthbound spirit dwelt and caused terrible accidents, introduce them to a well-known and universally respected lady who had seen a pixy and heard the Wish Hounds in full cry, and take them to visit a witch in her cottage, but at the risk of them being 'overlooked' (ill-wished or bewitched). Silvanus' letter encompassed the surviving belief in ghosts, faeries and witches that for centuries has given the West Country its reputation as a place where the paranormal is an everyday event.
This second volume of Michael Howard's Witchcraft in the British Isles series examines the sorcery and witchcraft of Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset. Rich in magical lore and folk traditions, the West Country has always had an aura of mystery and magic, reflected in the various races and their spiritual beliefs who have occupied it down the centuries. £15.99

In the village of at Cullen in Forfarshire, an arrest warrant was served in January 1657 for one Margaret Philp, accused of practicing witchcraft. Her servant, Isobel Imblaugh, testified she had seen her mistress have dealings with a spirit taking the form of a talking hare. Imblaugh said she had seen Philp put out a bannock, a jug of beer and a piece of meat for the sprite, and the next morning all was gone. On another occasion the spirit-hare allegedly entered the house through an open window and drank beer left out for it in a bowl. Far from an isolated account, magical traffic with such spirits was well-documented into the 19th century, when Highlanders left offerings of milk at prehistoric burial mounds and standing stones for the faeries known as brownies. Magical intercourse with fairies was but a small part of Scottish witchcraft belief, which also held that witches stole milk from their neighbor's cows, raised storms to drown those at sea they disliked, produced wasting diseases to make their enemies fall ill or die, keep a baby inside its mother's womb beyond her normal term, and transform themselves into animal forms so they could roam the countryside causing mischief and mayhem.
Scottish Witches and Warlocks examines the folk beliefs and magical practices of early modern Scotland, constellated especially around witchcraft. Treating matters of spirit-conjuring, herb-magic, and the Diabolical pact itself, it includes accounts of such peculiar personages as Isobel Gowdie, the Aberdeen Witches, Dr. John Fian and the North Berwick coven, Sir Robert Gordon of Gourdeston, and the Witches of Auldearn. Containing a number of illustrations, it is the third book in Michael Howard's Witchcraft in the British Isles series.

Witchcraft and the Imaging of the Divine
Daniel A. Schulke
1st 2013 96pp Three Hands Press h/b in d/w. Illus by author. Ltd. ed. 396 copies.
The translation of magical power to image is a matter well understood in so-called 'primitive' sorcery, where there occurs a mutual embodiment of re-presentation and the represented. The Fetish, for example, apprehends a reciprocal process between Object and Creator that often begins long before chisels and adzes are set to wood. Many of these eldritch forms of image-making were concerned with accessing power, and it was only later, in the context of religious devotion, that their forms densified into 'mere' idols. With increasing levels of religious control over art, a Moiré pattern arises between the Artist and the forces of the Divine, which may either suppress individual visionary power in favour of canonised icons, or, correctly accessed, give rise to an 'heretical creativity'.
Witchcraft, because of its syncretic nature, partakes in multiple infusions of traditional image-making lore, including not only sorcery and religious iconography, but also science, craftsmanship, and the fine arts. However, because much of its images are used privately, and indeed created for a limited set of observers, they participate in a concentrated alembic of exposure wherein all who experience them do so in the context of magical practice and devotion. This intensity of private magical interaction provides a locus where the image transcends its medium, and indeed the fetish known as 'icon' and generates living numen. First published as an essay in the British folklore quarterly The Cauldron in 2009, Idolatry Restor'd drew upon the experiential arenas of magical practice and Image-Artistry which came to inform Schulke's book Lux Haeresis (Xoanon, 2011). Here substantially expanded with illustrations prepared especially for the work, Idolatry Restor'd is a book of engaging fascinum for both Artists and Beholders alike, and strikes at the heart of magical image-aesthesis. £39.99

Curse tablets, defixiones, were formed from sheets of lead, inscribed with the ill intent of the curse, and the name of the victim. The tablet would often be rolled, or folded, before being stuck through with a nail; a magical act of defigo; 'pinning down' or 'fixing' one's will and intent upon the target of one's work. Such an act is not isolated to malefic working, and is cognate with the 'creative act' and fertility; giving life unto the magician's will. In curse magic however the act embodies the triune powers of torment, fixing and intent-enlivenment. The completed defixio was then, in further conjuration of the Underworld virtues and dark intent upon the victim, buried in the ground, or dropped into the chthonic waters of a well.
The sheer diversity of popular magic connected with sacred wells and springs is remarkable. Inseparable from the ancient cults of saints and spirits of place, the natural springs and wellheads of the British Isles have come to be famed loci of healing, divination, and spiritual revelation. Some, possessing long traditions of votive and sacrificial offerings, have assumed powers of spirit-guardianship, or, indeed, divinities of water. Other such wells are the repositories of eldritch lore connected with the cult of the skull and the Holy Head. Additionally, bodies of magical practice have developed around some wells, serving a variety of magical purposes, including blessings and curses, healings and the dispensation of prophetic power. In almost every case, there is a specific magical relation between the waters as a medium of spirit, and the surrounding feature of the land. £34.99
The History, Astrology and Magic of the Decans
Austin Coppock
1st 2014 336pp Three Hands Press h/b in d/w. Illus. Ltd. ed. 432 copies.
There is a thread that runs through over four millennia of astrological and magical history, a cord that binds ancient Egypt with the Hellenistic world, the Arabian empire, India, the European Renaissance and even touches the present. That thread is the Decans, a division of the earth's sky into 36 sections. These 36 'Faces of Heaven' are more than just a curious footnote in the history of archaeo-astronomy. First emerging in ancient Egypt, they have moved with the corpus of Hermetic material, reincarnating in the starry wisdom of culture after culture.
Ostensibly a gear in astrology's encompassing clockworks, the Decans have also long been a key to accessing legions of spirits. For several millennia and in multiple cultures, magicians have looked at these 36 faces and seen gods, choirs of angels, hordes of demons, and a host of daimones staring back at them, each with its own unique powers. Far from going undocumented, this gallery of faces has been painted and drawn by a host of astrologers, sorcerers and artists, and they can be found on walls of Italian villas as well as in the pages of grimoires.
Weaving together astrology and magic, divination and sorcery, time and sky, this thread of esoteric history deserves more than the footnotes it has so far received. In this work, Austin Coppock follows the Decans through history, charting their trajectory through time and culture. Using the ring of keys which history provides, the 36 doors are flung open, revealing their mysteries to magician and astrologer alike. Each decan, its image, and its specific powers are examined in detail, as well as its permutations in the planetary aspects. Featuring original images specially created for each Decan by Bob Eames, 36 Faces is an invaluable resource for magicians, astrologers, and historians. £32.99

Now I use patched version of 177.82. Why patched? Because without patch it doesn't compile and work along with 2.6.28 kernel. The solution to this is to fix what has been screwed up between 177.82 and first 180 beta release because neither 180 beta nor 180.44 work.

|Printable auction results for all items in the 2011 April Dallas Signature Sports Collectibles Auction.
1954 Dave Bancroft Single Signed Baseball. At eighty years old, just a year before his 1972 passing, "Beauty" Bancroft finally realized his dream of Cooperstown enshrinement, ensuring that future generations of collectors would swoon at the sight of pieces such as this. It's arguably the finest Bancroft single on earth, though admittedly it's not much of a competition. Only three examples appear in our comprehensive database of major auction results dating back to 1999. But make no mistake, this is a Beauty on any terms. The full blue ink inscription rates at 9/10 and extends from the western panel to the sweet spot, reading "Superior, Wis. 3-15-54, My best wishes to Arnold Baseball Museum, Dave Bancroft." Some mild toning on the southern panel causes no real distraction on an otherwise clean and marvelously white relic. Yes, it really is as pretty as it looks in our photos. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.

Failing Obamacare Co-ops Give Execs Lavish Pay, And May Violate The Law
Taxpayer-funded Obamacare health insurance co-op's may be running afoul of the law by giving extravagant paychecks to their top executives, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation.
More than a million Americans have enrolled in the 23 non-profit Obamacare co-ops since they began in 2011. The co-ops were intended to be consumer-operated non-profits focused on delivering healthcare to the working poor and others needing health insurance.
Eighteen of the 23 co-ops paid their top executives prodigious salaries ranging from $263,000 to $587,000, according to 2013 IRS tax filings.
The high take-home pay for the "nonprofit" executives appears to violate both federal law and Obamacare rules prohibiting "excessive executive compensation."
The co-ops were originally funded in 2011 with $2 billion under Obamacare in an experiment to provide tax-paid competition to private sector health insurance providers.
Most of the Obamacare co-op executives are paid more than members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, U.S. cabinet secretaries and the governors of all 50 states.

DERBY, Kan. (AP) _ The Daily Reporter in the Wichita suburb of
Derby is shutting down after 47 years.
GateHouse Media Inc. owns the newspaper and announced the closing in a story posted Thursday on the newspaper's Web site and
in its Thursday-Friday edition.
The story said ``market forces, challenges specific to the newspaper industry and the loss of a major revenue stream have overwhelmed the newspaper's ability to continue with a profitable business model.''
The Daily Reporter's final edition will be published Feb. 17. The company said the closing will directly affect six employees.
GateHouse Media Inc. is based in Fairport, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester. The company is one of the nation's largest publishers of community newspapers.

"This card fit perfectly with my daughter's dance party theme. The card is adorable and such high quality. They arrived in just the right time and have only heard rave reviews from my daughter's friends."
"Perfect card for my daughter's Rockin' Sleepover. We opted for the shiny paper and they look awesome. It was great to be able to personalize all the wording to describe the party details!"
"Ordered this for my daughter's Sweet 16. We were thrilled with the quality when it arrived. The card has a texture and is thick. Ordered the white rectangular envelopes that are fitted so that you don't incur extra postage and they look fine with it. It really is a beautiful invitation and makes a classy statement."
"The invitation turned out beautifully. I loved the colors and design. Your designers helped with the text. I was just great."
"We rec'd the order quickly. It looks beautiful and I love the paper texture/thickness. We did the banner design on the back and it look great! I'm very happy with my order and will order from Tiny Prints again."

Real Signal
* This is a diagnostic monitoring tool
* This does not increase reception
* Custom signal bars need time to calibrate or need to be manually set
* Please read all the description and please don't leave "It don't work" comments; email me....
Displays a persistent customizable signal-bar in your notification area (5-bar). It also records signal statistics and graphs for monitoring.
### This uses Android's raw GSM or CDMA signal values directly! ###
How many times have you had 3 or 4 signal bars yet couldn't make a call or even check your email? Many vendors (or carriers) intentionally pad or incorrectly display the real signal power using the devices built in signal-bar graph. This is where Real Signal's power comes in to help...
Real Signal can be adjusted manually or automatically to report a better and more accurate bar-scale. What Real Signal displays is your dBm signal in truth, but I leave the graphic bar-scale control in YOUR hands to manipulate to YOUR needs (with some help)! Great huh!
*** Instructions ***
I've included a general default CDMA and GSM bar-scale which works well for Samsung and HTC devices(probably others too), but Motorola signals seem different than other vendors. You can use the defaults and adjust the thresholds to properly display a 5 bar-signal graph in your notifications or you can use Real Signal's built-in (auto)signal threshold algorithm to set the 5 bar-scale ranges based on your recorded signal strengths. To use this to its best ability, make sure you calibrate Real Signal by traveling through known WEAK and STRONG signal areas before applying the (auto) signal thresholds. Once you get some decent and accurate thresholds, tweak them as needed or leave them as they are. It's your choice!
For general signal monitoring, DO NOT keep GPS tracking enabled. This will kill your battery quickly! It's not Real Signal that is killing your battery, its the GPS receiver.
Signals strengths are scaled from low numeric values to high numeric values. This could be negative values from a low of -120 to a high of -65 or something more simplistic as a low of 1 to a high of 31. Just remember, its always low to high on the number scale, including negative number ranges.
**!! This does NOT increase actual signal strength. !!**
Please use the FEEDBACK TOOL in the app for questions or problems. I can't really help if you leave feedback in the Market comments. Thank you!
Add some customization to your screens! Choose from a dozen built in fonts or install your own true type fonts (ttf). Special color picker (AmbilWarna library by "yukuku") allows you to choose from millions of different colors and shades!

Want more fonts? Just download them from UrbanFonts.com or anywhere else just as long as they are "ttf" fonts. Just install them to "/sdcard/banner/fonts". You can also install Market apps that contain fonts (ie: font packs) then do a 'scan' from the help screen.

AutoPay Planner (Recurrence)
Do you have auto-payments taken out of a bank account? Do you also have a Direct Deposit going into this same account? Have you ever tried to manually forecast how much you "may" or "may not" have to cover these payments? If so, this is a perfect app for you!
This app is a "simple" planner which easily allows you to forecast your recurring/autopay payments and direct deposit balances. Though it's designed for automatic payments and deposit forecasting, it can also be used as a general budget planner too. There isn't any complicated graphs, only a good solid balance forecast
This is NOT a fancy or overly complicated budget planner with digital access to all your bills and personal accounts. This is NOT a complicated "Bill Management Integration Analysis of Monthly Expenditures" app that takes weeks to learn and use. This is just a super-simple, easy to use, easy to manage, and stress free program to help you plan your money.
This is the 1st release. I'll have updates over the next few months to tweak and add some features, but my goal will always be "simple"

Meeting with SSgt tomorrow
I'll let you all know how it goes.
Good luck! Thoughts are with you.
Alright basically i met with him and it went well. I passed that stupid test to qualify. Then we talked for 2 hours.
Im considering becoming a marine. Its taking a lot of thought. Theres a subconscious fear that i don't know what is going to happen. I don't like that feeling too much. At the same time however, i will be the proudest human being to walk the face of the earth once i have that title. Marine... that is so appealing.
Good luck, Alex. Hard life, hard work but the long term benefits can pay off. Be prepared to be deployed often unless the scenerios of the world change. That in itself can be deeply impacting on any family life. I have enjoyed it all but the continual deployments.
In my humble opinion, Alex, there is nothing more rewarding nor more honorable than serving your country.
Good luck with your decision.
Look at the unknowns as an adventure to experience, not something to be leery of!
ive deployed twice in my 2 yearsin the AF. honestly, its not easy family wise, but youll enjoy it. steady paycheck (hopefully... congress can shove it) and good medical benefits. haha and dont judge me, my deployments werent the cushy back office type us airforce types usually get accused of.
Hey man if you have any additional questions feel free to p.m me. I am also a Marine recruiter and I would be more than happy to help you out. I'm also a no bs type of guy so you don't have to worry about my answers being untruthful (I know the reputation recruiters have). Not to mention that you wouldn't be my enlistment to loose so It really wouldn't affect me if you enlist or not aside from knowing that I possibly helped another person out. Good luck with your decision hope to have another brother join the family soon.
I like my cushy 12 hour days on the flightline myself ;)

HBO should really try to enforce and encourage fights between Top Rank and GBP.. as others have alluded to already… we will see what this leads to.. thus farm this has been a decent year for boxing and there are a few other good fights on the horizon in just coming months.. so we will see where this lands us by years endPosted March 19, 2013 12:21 pm
Bye bye HBO boxing.. bye bye top rank.. both are going down the drain in the next few years.. if not by the end of this year tbh.. that being said, I really thin Broner should sign with SMS…. it would be a beneficially neutral promotion that could give him a neutral and diverse career.. instead of being stuck in the monopoly known as Golden Boy… but that being said if he does sign with GBP.. he can still fight the likes of Garcia, Matthyese, Malginaggi, Peterson, Khan, and others…. so it wouldn;t be the worst move.. if Brandon Rios was smart, he would leave Top Rank and join GBP or SMSPosted March 19, 2013 12:15 pm

Well at least HBO mabey will have Bernard Hopkins next world title fight, but that is only becouse Hopkins is not bound to any channel and Hopkins mabey will only fight 1 or 2 times more before retireing and NO ONE in years have deserved a retirement more then himPosted March 19, 2013 11:19 am
GOOD!! this will give a chance to the smalltime promoters to get HBO dates.Posted March 19, 2013 11:05 am
Right Kornerman..most people do just continue to let megacorporation have it their way with sneaky over charges and program purchases that they dont actually want and yes most of you do tend to just sit back and let their favorite boxers get bullied by the same powers that be. But Maracho aint like most people.Posted March 19, 2013 10:01 am
maracho blah blah blah blah blah- who cares we just wanna watch great fights.Posted March 19, 2013 3:53 am
stupid loser
maracho – deep, you sure you are on the right board. This is where, in the name of boxing, we call each other names and debate the most trivial details about a fight, who is the best/worst and our perception of great fights/fighters. The one thing in common is the passion for boxing. You may have mistaken this for a Rush L or Bill M board.Posted March 19, 2013 1:36 am
HBO is already a promoter so cutting out the middle men could leave more money for the boxers. Moreover, less bureaucracy often means less corruption since the powers that be have less opportunity to pass the blame. Now of course a monopoly can and will be corrupt but in this situation the fans have to much voice and financial power. Thus, I say a high profile parliamentary administration could be worth a try.Posted March 18, 2013 11:17 pm
Well I can't cancel because HBO shows good movies. Plus I work for the phone company so I get 50% off my bill anywaysPosted March 18, 2013 10:55 pm
I'm cancelling MY HBO subscription right away. They should have demanded Golden Boy and Top Rank collaboration not cut ties with Golden Boy. Real businessmen deliver what the customer wants. HBO Head of Boxing is a certified IMBECILE. Making emotional moves because his SISSYFIED feelings got hurt. IF you can't take the heat then get the F out the kitchen.Posted March 18, 2013 10:12 pm

HBO has always had 2 major flaws: 1.obviously biased commentators being a little to giddy for their money fighter. Not even attempting to remain neutral. 2. They do not show ring girls which is a major part of the sport.Posted March 18, 2013 9:22 pm
Arum puts a lot of stops on great fights and that is why we can't get certain fights. They don't need to stop dealing with GBP they just need to be more critical of the fights that they do buy. It is annoying constantly seeing fighters in give me fights. This also goes for Arum also.Posted March 18, 2013 9:17 pm
Golden Boy is running boxing these days, Showtime is now the leader HBO take a back seat. This is one reason the Mares Nonito fight didn't happen, Golden Boy an Showtime offered more money for the fight but Arum an Nonito are with HBO.Posted March 18, 2013 8:13 pm
HBO trying to flex their muscle and drop GBP and Haymon down a notch for their machinations. I for one hope they succeed. Don't want these promoters and managers continuing to con the networks into doing their bidding. Plenty of talent outside GBP to keep things interesting on HBO and hopefully Schaefer and crew will pull their heads out of their asses and begin negotiating like grown-ups.Posted March 18, 2013 7:47 pm
This has got to be facade by the satellite and cable services to get boxing fans to buy both networks. besides that Time Warner and CBS have many joint ventures and marketing schemes. They do their best to hide it though because they know the people hate mega-monopolies.Posted March 18, 2013 7:27 pm

Cannot be good business for HBO. Canelo and Mayweather gone……I see a lot of payc uts for HBO commentators like jack ass Max Kellerman, he better hope he has a nice contract signed already.Posted March 18, 2013 7:20 pm
Whoever is running HBO Boxing will be fired in NO time. They're so angry at Mayweather that they shoot THEMSELVES in the foot and drop one of the Fighters with the Highest ratings because he's becoming too valuable. They should have smartened UP and offered Broner a Contract instead of just releasing him. Dummies. SO long to HBO Boxing!!!Posted March 18, 2013 6:12 pm
Showtime has been catching an now passing HBO for awhile now, they are not to committed if they don't keep Golden Boy an Mayweather. lt has something to do with a former Golden Boy employee now running boxing for Showtime.Posted March 18, 2013 5:02 pm

What a stupid and horrible move by HBO. Golden Boy has the deepest roster of fighters and to just abandon making fights with them is just plain stupid. Instead HBO wants a relationship with Top Rank who not only has a much thinner roster of fighters, but it has an aging 81 yr old man at its head who will not be in the business much longer. This a bad strategic business decision by HBO which comes down to the question of why on earth did HBO hire Ken Hershman in the first place?
Ever since Ken Hershman was hired HBO boxing has gone downhill. He needs to be replaced immediately. I never understood why they hired him in the 1st place. His record at Showtime was one of limited growth and continued status quo. He did not bring any great innovation or changes to Showtime during his tenure there and Showtime Boxing never grew, its just remained there in a sort of suspended animation. When he was at Showtime, Showtime boxing never could compete with HBO Boxing, and they constantly put on poor fights. But once Hershman left and Showtime hired a new Sports director they have leaped past HBO putting on good fights all year long. Their viewership has gone up and now they have Mayweather. This compared to HBO, since Hershman's hiring, poor match-ups, bad deals, losing Mayweather, and now refusing to deal with Golden Boy fighters. Hershman has now backed HBO into a corner. Losing Mayweather and now Broner, whom they had a lot invested in already. I see them courting Andre Ward, but Ward does not bring in big numbers and is not a pay per view attraction, and not too exciting to watch either. All the great fights at 168 have already been done by Ward and done on Showtime. Hershman has been a complete and absolute failure who needs to be fired before he ruins HBO Boxing for the next decade.Posted March 18, 2013 2:40 pm
I guess Broner and Canelo weren't that good of a draw for Boxing Fans..Posted March 18, 2013 2:30 pm
Awwww. Looks like HBO got their feelings hurt by Mayweather leaving and Arum probably pounced on the opportunity to bad talk Golden Boy and now they're off HBO. You're afraid that Showtime will out bid you for the Future GOAT so you throw in the towel??? What cowards!!Posted March 18, 2013 2:27 pm
It would be a big mistake to sign with 50. That goes for any fighterPosted March 18, 2013 2:23 pm

The 28-year-old was arrested in the Drumchapel area of Glasgow today in connection with an alleged breach of election law, Police Scotland said.
He has been reported to the procurator fiscal over an alleged contravention of Schedule 7 of the Scottish Independence Referendum Act 2013.
An investigation was launched earlier this week after a number of people apparently attempted to sell their votes for September 18 on internet auction site eBay, which has since removed the items.
An eBay spokesman said at the time: "The Electoral Commission has an agreement in place where we remove upon request any items posted on eBay that relate to an individual's vote where the commission has concerns that this could lead to the law being broken.''

The Jodhaa Akbar controversy distorts the glorious legacy of Rajput-Mughal syncretic culture,
Filed Under: Lifestyle, Opinion | Posted: 03/02/2008 at 11:54PM
Comments | Region: Pakistan
The controversy created by the film Jodhaa Akbar and the opposition mounted mainly by sections of young Rajputs in Rajasthan raises a number of issues related to historical facts, poetical license of a creative and imaginative work of cinema or art, modern Rajput identity and the rising intolerance in the country.It is true that factually the name of the Rajput princess married to Akbar probably was not Jodhabai, but it is not disputed that Rajput a princess from Amer-Jaipur was married to Akbar and other Rajput princesses from various Rajput states except Mewar or Udaipur were married to successive mughal emperors, often the marriages being arranged by Rajput mothers of mughal princes. This was part of a political alliance begun by enlightened and secular Akbar and by Rajput kings who were discerning enough to accept the realpolitik which could promote peace so that the kingdom and its people could flourish economically and be socially harmonious.These marriages were genuine and mutually beneficial alliances and it was not the case of conquered kings being forced to offer their daughters and sisters as a recent article in Outlook magazine suggests. History is witness to the subsequent flowering of composite and secular mughal culture in which the Rajput wives played a part, until the time of Aurengzeb. Noted historians like Satish Chandra would agree with this version. Rajput princesses were marrying emperors and into the highest royalty (which in those pre-Hindutva times) could be trans-religious and they lived as respected wives. Akbar had an affectionate childhood connection with the Rajputs which he must have surely remembered while marrying a Rajput princess. His father Humayun, while fleeing from the Afghan invader Sher Shah Suri, was given refuge by the Soda Rajput Raja of Umarkot now in Sindh, where Akbar was born and taken care of.Jodhabai has become a part of the popular imagination, mythology and cultural folklore as Akbar's wife after the classic film Mughal-e-Azam, persisting as an "imaginative reconstruction of reality," as Max Weber defined art. One of the latest words in the oxford dictionary is 'faction' which is a mix of fact and fiction. Historical characters and events can be authentically woven into a story or film as long as it does not distort and demean the spirit of those characters, events and social relations. By all accounts and reviews, the film Jodhaa Akbar does not distort the spirit and may even be inspiring, but a disclaimer that the name of characters and incidents may not be accurate even though the story is based on history, could have helped. The Rajputs should have seen the film before demonstrating and the producers should have arranged a special screening. Hopefully this is still possible. The Rajput groups are quibbling over historical accuracy of a name, but sadly the hidden agenda may well be to thwart the celebration of the glorious Rajput-Mughal, Hindu-Muslim syncretic culture and intercourse and the Din-I-IIahi discourse Yet the opposition of the Rajput groups has its own peculiar politics of identity. As Ramchandra Guha says, it is religious intolerance masquerading as historical scholarship, but it is not ordinary intolerance but an intolerance born of belief in purity of blood just as the Brahmans believe in ritual purity. I remember as a young Rajput, one of the most common exchanges during weddings and family gatherings went like this. My relatives from Udaipur would half jokingly taunt the Jaipur relatives that they were meek enough to give their sisters and daughters to the Mughals. The Jaipur relatives would completely deny and insist that the lady who was married to Akbar was actually a maid servant and not of Rajput blood at all. Perhaps the inferiority complex inflicted by Mewari Rajputs on Jaipur Rajputs is compensated by denial and by angry protests against any story which emphasises the blood connection between them and the Muslim MughalsPurity is even more at issue when community women are involved. It is a common saying among the community that for a Rajput man three things are a matter of the greatest honor in the following order: women ,sword and horse. Rajput women had deeply internalised these values and heroically committed jauhar, so that they do not fall into the hands of the conqueror and face dishonour. Even though the political and matrimonial alliance with the secular Mughals was honourable it is perceived by some Rajputs to be a matter of dishonour and the only way to deal with it is to deny history. Incidentally there are hardly any Rajput girls or women demonstrating against the movie.Patriot Rana Pratap fought valiantly against Akbar, but the fight was not between Muslims and Hindus. Akbar's army was led by Raja Man Singh of Amer-Jaipur and on the other side was the Afghan Hakim Khan Suri as commander of Mewar army. As Ashis Nandy has pointed out, fifteen percent of communities in India are followers of more than one religion, like the Meos in Rajasthan who practice both Islam and Hinduism. Baba Ram Dev, a popular folk deity of Rajput lineage in west Rajasthan is worshiped by both Hindus and Muslims who call him a pir, with a pundit and maulavi in attendance at the shrine in Ramdevra in Jodhpur. Similarly Goga Ji shrine in Ganganagar is another diety worshipped jointly by Hindus and Muslims. The Ajmer Dargah of Sufi Gharib Nawaj receives "hazri" and "chaddar" not only from Muslims but also large number of Hindus. This is the same dargah where Akbar prayed to be blessed by a son from a Rajput wife and Salim was born.Leading social scientists Iqbal Narain and PC Mathur in their book Rajput Hinduism argue that historically Hinduism in Rajasthan was more liberal and broad minded because the absence of strong Brahmanical religious influence was compensated by Rajput cultural leadership. This inclusive and fine old Rajput legacy is under threat by the new narrow identity mobilisation. So is the case with UP maulavis coming to Rajasthan and teaching the pure Islam of Arabia asking Muslims to keep away from their traditional grassroots mixed shrines. A senior maulavi at the hard line Deoband Islamic academy, UP, whom I interviewed did not hesitate to declare that the Sufi philosophy of Moinuddin Chisti who is worshipped at Ajmer Dargah was not Muslim enough and did not meet the test of pure Islam.Surname, Shekhawat, is derived from a Sufi saint Sheikh whom both Muslims and Hindus revered, and who blessed my ancestor Shekhaji with child and heir. In respect we don't eat pork. But recently some "pure" revivalist Rajputs are revising history by connecting Sheikh to Sanskrit lineage. There is a historical denial and the opposition to Jodhaa Akbar is actually an expression of the acute anxiety felt by some Rajputs in reconciling the two selves of a modern secular Indian self on the one hand and a post Hindutva "proud Rajput of pure blood" self. One of the worst words of abuse among the Rajputs is "gola" which means someone born out of "pure" Rajput and lower status "impure" Rajputs.Rajputs in Rajasthan, being small in numbers, are politically marginalised and divided. Many young people are unemployed and poor while other castes and communities like the Jats and Meenas have become more economically and politically powerful and have secured reservations, sometimes unjustly. These Rajput youth are trying to mobilise and express their anger by rallying to causes of honour and purity which gives them solace through a sense of identity and superiority in difficult times of transition.Unless the young people in the country get proper education, employment and a wise leadership they will continue to rally around communal, regional and caste causes of narrow identity, past hurt and imagined purity of honor. The rich legacy of a composite, diverse and tolerant cultures is under threat. The threat is based on the false equation of a rich and complex cultural intercourse with impurity which is than translated as dishonour. The threat is projected as shrill moral policing as in the case of Jodhaa Akbar, as in the case of Raj Thackerey's exclusivist Marathi 'son of the soil' pride, as in the hounding of Tasleema Nasreen by Muslim extremists. We Indians need to know that there's only a thin dividing line between honor and intolerance, between pride and prejudice.

Schematic for constructing metagenomic read trees and the simulations framework used to evaluate their accuracy. (a) Construction of a phylogeny with leaves labeled solely by metagenomic reads. A reference database of full-length sequences is used to build a profile model. Metagenomic reads are aligned to the full-length reference sequences via the profile model. The alignment is used to build a phylogeny from which reference sequences are then pruned to create a read tree. (b) Schematic for the simulations framework used to evaluate the accuracy of read trees. For each gene family, we used MetaPASSAGE to sample two sets of full-length sequences: a simulated reference database and a sample of source sequences from which shotgun metagenomic reads were generated. We built read trees and then measured the accuracy of each read tree by comparing it to a source tree, labeled by the full-length gene sequences corresponding to the reads. Both branch-length errors and errors in topological relationships were assessed.

U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer was in Baldwinsville Monday to tour the Anheuser-Busch brewery.
As InBev prepares to take over operations of Anheuser-Busch, the senator urged InBev to continue full operations and maintain full benefits for current Anheuser-Busch plant employees.
The plant plays a critical economic role in Central New York, providing more than 800 jobs to the region. Currently, employees at the Baldwinsville Anheuser-Busch facility and across the country are safeguarded against unaffordable health care premium hikes due to their current contracts in the job. The InBev takeover could threaten these benefits, as well as the jobs of the current employees at the Baldwinsville facility and the 11 other breweries and Anheuser-Busch facilities across the country.
In an effort to protect the jobs, benefits and economy of Central New York and beyond, Sen. Schumer and several other US Senators penned a joint letter to InBev CEO Carlos Brito. The letter seeks to ensure employees at brewing plants across the nation keep their jobs and maintain full health and retirement benefits without unaffordable spikes in premiums.
"There are no two ways about it -- we have to make sure that Anheuser- Busch employees in Upstate New York and beyond keep their jobs and full benefits. The Baldwinsville facility lies at the heart of the local economy and it should stay that way," Schumer said. "I urge InBev to keep its pledge to continue operations at all 12 breweries across the country and to promise to keep affordable health benefits for its employees. The Anheuser-Busch employees are dedicated workers who deserve affordable health care and the benefits they have earned."
InBev and Anheuser-Busch agreed to a $52 billion buyout in June. At the time of the takeover, InBev pledged to maintain operations at all 12 of Anheuser-Busch's brewing facilities across the country but with InBev currently preparing to take over operations, many questions remain unanswered on their plans.

recently as Bellah and colleagues (1985) have described Americans' penchant for forming voluntary associations as a way of coping with social problems. As de Tocqueville said (1835-1839 [1945:115-116]): "Americans of all ages, all conditions, and all dispositions constantly form associations … associations of a thousand other kinds, religious, moral, serious, futile, general or restricted, enormous or diminutive. … I have often admired the extreme skill with which the inhabitants of the United States succeed in proposing a common object for the exertions of a great many men and inducing them voluntarily to pursue it". AIDS has been no exception. Community-based organizations are a key component in the care of persons with AIDS. In many communities they play an important role in reducing the length of hospital stays for persons with AIDS by enabling them to be cared for at home by friends and family to the greatest extent medically appropriate.
Little of the research on the costs of providing care for persons with HIV disease or AIDS has looked explicitly at the contribution of volunteers. Arno's studies (1986, 1988) are among the few exceptions. In the 1985 fiscal year, Arno (1986) estimated the value of AIDS-related volunteer labor to be $1.2 million. Some researchers have attributed a drop of more than two-thirds in the annual cost of caring for persons with AIDS in San Francisco (from $150,000 to $40,000) to the contribution of volunteers. According to Arno (1988:57):
[An] important reason to determine the value of volunteer labor is that it is not equally available in all regions of the country or to all groups at risk. Further, as the nature of the epidemic shifts, the supply of volunteers may prove inadequate. Thus, full market value may have to be paid if services now provided by volunteers are to be available, and it is therefore vital to know what those services actually cost.
The volunteer and community-based organizations that formed in response to the epidemic appear to have reached a crucial crossroads as the epidemic moves into its second decade. Doubts have arisen about whether CBOs will be able to meet the needs of increasing numbers of persons with AIDS and about whether the needs of intravenous drug users, their sexual partners, and their offspring can be addressed in ways that replicate the response of the more affluent and organized gay community from which the volunteer movement arose.
It is often said about AIDS that it shines a harsh light to expose the cracks and flaws in the U.S. system of delivering and financing health care.

First, the obvious: running a successful campaign is EXPENSIVE.
The legitimacy of a candidate is directly proportional to the size of his coffers. If you are the candidate, out of political necessity, fundraising is and should be your priority at the beginning, middle and end of your campaign.
And at every stage in between.
However, as most of us learn from our parents at a very young age, asking for money is not as easy as it sounds. When designing a fundraising strategy, a candidate must consider: who to ask, who should be asking and how to ask.

There are many different ways in which a PAC or grassroots campaign can test the effectiveness of a message. Whether you are looking to gain a monetary edge, build your base or inform your members of upcoming legislative activities; it is crucial to know the effectiveness of your message.

Whether you fancy a grassroots advocacy campaign or a PAC fundraising effort, don't put the cart before the horse.
First things first: Establish a goal and refrain from being too hasty to flood the market with a broad, oversimplified message. There is a time and place for broadening a brand; however, when you are in the market for a targeted campaign, I suggest diving into your data!
Politics and technology are more intertwined than ever. A new proposed bill, the Real Time Transparency Act, introduced in the Senate by Angus King and in the House by Beto O'Rourke, would allow for real time disclosure of hard-money contributions to candidates, committees, or political parties that receive a donation of $1,000 or more.
Ask Early and Ask Often: the Benefits of an Effective Early Bird Fundraising Campaign
For all the PAC and political fundraisers out there… as you well know, 2014 is an exciting year – it's an ELECTION YEAR! (For those of you who are not in the political sphere, this is like Christmas for fundraisers and politicos, the excitement is contagious!)
One item to add to your 2014 New Year's resolution list is to develop an "Early-Bird" fundraising campaign today!

You've gotten your Political Action Committee (PAC) off the ground. Your fundraising is working like gangbusters and you've even planned all of your federal giving for the next election cycle. Now what?
No matter where your business or organization is located (or where they're active), there is no doubt that there's a local issue, state legislative bill or campaign that you feel strongly about. What many people don't realize is that you are able to make contributions to state or local candidates, committees and parties from your federal PAC. However, before creating your fifty state success plan, there are some things you should keep in mind.

I've seen this before: two large entities fighting for control of their industry, both working towards the same goal but instead of cooperating, they end up sinking themselves in a fight for supremacy.
Fundraising and technology have long been at odds. Fundraisers have generally worked amongst the people, using social skills to foster success. On the other hand, data experts usually hold the position that clean, advanced technology will foster success. Both are valid points, which is why it is vital for fundraising and technology to work together, highlighting each other's strengths.
"If the question is: Does the aggregate limit [on contributions] to candidates and party committees stop someone from spending all the money they want on politics? The answer is clearly no," said David Mason, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission and senior vice president at the political software and compliance firm Aristotle.
But that's not the question before the court, Mason said. The justices must instead decide whether they agree with McCutcheon that the aggregate contribution limit poses no corruption risk to candidates or parties. McCutcheon, who's been joined by the Republican National Committee in his challenge, argues it's no more corrupting for him to give the maximum $2,600 to 17 candidates than, say, 18 candidates…
