DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama raked in $25 million for his presidential bid in the first three months of 2007, placing him on a par with front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton and dashing her image as the party's inevitable nominee.
"We've exceeded all of our hopes and expectations," Obama said in an e-mail to supporters Wednesday. "You've sent an unmistakable message to the political establishment in Washington about the power and seriousness of our challenge."
The donations came from an eye-popping 100,000 donors, the campaign said.
The figures were the latest evidence that Obama, a political newcomer who has served just two years in the Senate, has emerged as the most powerful new force in presidential politics this year. It also reinforced his status as a significant threat to Clinton, who'd hoped her own $26 million first quarter fundraising total would begin to squeeze her rivals out of contention.
The campaign reported that the figure included at least $23.5 million that he can spend on the highly competitive primary race. The Clinton campaign has yet to disclose how much they can use for the primary verses money that is designated for the general election.
While Clinton has honed a vast national fundraising network through two Senate campaigns and her husband's eight years as president, Obama launched his bid for the White House with a relatively small donor base concentrated largely in Illinois, his home state. But his early opposition to the Iraq war and voter excitement over his quest to be the first black president quickly fueled a powerful fundraising machine.
Since he formally declared his presidential campaign in February, Obama has been traveling the country with a focus on urban areas where he could build his momentum and bring in new donors. He attracted big-money Hollywood and Wall St. executives along with families who came out to his stops in places like Oklahoma that sometimes are neglected by other candidates.
More than half the donors contributed via the Internet for a total of $6.9 million, the campaign said.
"It's been a truly historic response," Obama said in his e-mail, "a measure of just how hungry people are to turn the page on this era of small and destructive politics and repair our American community."
Donors are limited by law to contributions of $2,300 for the primary election, but Clinton, Obama and some other candidates also have been raising money for the general election. That allows them to take another $2,300 from each donor, but the money has to be returned if they don't win the nomination.
Clinton's campaign often solicited the $4,600 donations, while Obama's campaign focused on recruiting small dollar donors. In the coming months, he can return to those donors and ask those who haven't maxed out to give more.
Unlike Clinton, Obama says he doesn't take money from the lobbyists or political action committees that are frequent contributors on other campaigns.
Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle said, "We are thrilled with our historic fundraising success and congratulate Senator Obama and the entire Democratic field on their fundraising, which demonstrates the overwhelming desire for change in our country."
Obama was visiting Iowa Wednesday, holding an evening rally at a community college in Mason City.
Among the other Democratic candidates, aides to former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards said his $14 million in new contributions included $1 million for the general election.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said he had raised $6 million and had more than $5 million cash on hand.
Aides to Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd said he raised more than $4 million and transferred nearly $5 million from his Senate campaign, for a total of $9 million in receipts and $7.5 million cash on hand. Delaware Sen. Joe Biden lagged behind, with his staff reporting that he had total receipts of nearly $4 million, nearly half of which was transferred from his Senate campaign account.
Edwards, speaking to Davenport, Iowa, television station KWQC, complained that the pressure to raise huge sums was distorting the political process.
"We should actually be publicly financing these campaigns," Edwards said. "We shouldn't be doing these money contests. They're not healthy, they're not good for democracy. Public financing is the answer.
"While we still have this system, you have to compete the best way you can. What's clear is I think we're going to have at least three candidates on the Democratic side who have plenty of money to run a very serious campaign."
Among the Republican candidates, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was the top money-raiser with $23 million, another eye-catching sum that place him in the same league with Clinton and Obama and left his GOP rivals in the dust.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani raised $15 million for the quarter, while Arizona Sen. John McCain posted $12.5 million. Giuliani leads the GOP field in national popularity polls, followed by McCain.

Skip to comments.White House: Immigration and gun control are happening. Soon.
Posted on 01/02/2013 7:59:37 PM PST by SeekAndFind
Certain parties may be taking more political heat than others, but I think it's safe to say that nobody but nobody is going to walk away from the fiscal cliff deal completely unscathed --- and we only have even more similarly piddling but surely melodramatic standoffs on deck for the near future. Ergo, no doubt the White House will be eager to have a few bright-'n-shiny political items on hand with which to tout President Obama's go-gettin', even-handed know-how. It would be a darn shame to miss the chance to lament what amazing victories President Obama could achieve, if only those silly hostage-taking Republicans would let him, so why not start preparing some liberal red meat to conveniently keep on the back-burner, via HuffPo:
Despite a bruising fiscal cliff battle that managed to set the stage for an even more heated showdown that will likely take place in a matter of months, President Barack Obama is planning to move full steam ahead with the rest of his domestic policy agenda.
An Obama administration official said the president plans to push for immigration reform this January. The official, who spoke about legislative plans only on condition of anonymity, said that coming standoffs over deficit reduction are unlikely to drain momentum from other priorities. The White House plans to push forward quickly, not just on immigration reform but gun control laws as well.
The timeframe is likely to be cheered by Democrats and immigration reform advocates alike, who have privately expressed fears that Obama's second term will be drowned out in seemingly unending showdowns between parties. The just-completed fiscal cliff deal is giving way to a two-month deadline to resolve delayed sequestration cuts, an expiring continuing resolution to fund the government and a debt ceiling that will soon be hit.
Well, who are we to let the fact that our country is on a self-inflicted path to decline distract us from Obama's legacy-building? If we find ourselves standing in smoking fiscal ruins someday, at least we can look back and take comfort in President Obama's many attempts to skirt Congress, the latest of which already went down today. Who's getting excited for the second-term agenda?
The Obama administration eased the way Wednesday for illegal immigrants who are immediate relatives of American citizens to apply for permanent residency, a change that could affect as many as 1 million of the estimated 11 million immigrants unlawfully in the U.S.
A new rule issued by the Department of Homeland Security aims to reduce the time illegal immigrants are separated from their American families while seeking legal status, immigration officials said.
Beginning March 4, when the changes go into effect, illegal immigrants who can demonstrate that time apart from an American spouse, child or parent would create extreme hardship, can start the application process for a legal visa without leaving the U.S.
Once approved, applicants would be required to leave the U.S. briefly in order to return to their native country and pick up their visa.
Bonehead must go or tighten up in a way he never has or the
GOP will get routed on this, as well.
Bingo. Write, call, e-mail your Republican COngresscritters and DEMAND that Boehner go OR ELSE!
He will give Obama ANYTHING he wants. He (Boehner) is a TOTAL moral coward - a REAL crybaby!!!
Raise taxes, seize guns, invade the nation with illegals, all within a few weeks.
Recipe for what?
As far as illegal immigration goes, the GOP must take its share of blame for allowing this to happen. Reagan granted amnesty. Bush 41 and 43 did nothing to stop it. I thought after 9-11 that the borders would be sealed, but no.
Big business wants cheap labor, and the GOP is the party of big business. As long as big business supports the GOP in the form of campaign donations, nothing will change.
Well, I guess all the PhonyCon cheer-leading for Marco Rubio being one of the few senators to vote against the Fiscal Cliff Bill....is going to come to an end...as Obama is going to appease La Raza Rubio and give some more illegals amnesty
The GOP will cave on both Illegal Aliens and Gun Grabbing...you can be sure about that...and the PhonyCons will continue to whine their "A Third Party vote is a vote for a Democrat" nonsense
Gun control?
Use both hands on your pistol.
Coming soon to a city near you.
Oh, yeah. Like the sun coming up in the morning.
I wonder if the Whigs said the same thing?
If/when the GOP caves (and make no mistake, they fear an armed population as much or more than the Dems), they will end as a party.
When speaking of the GOP caving to Democrats, It is always "when" and never "if". GOP caving is a given, like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.
What the AntiChrist wants the AntiChrist gets. I, for one, cannot see his downfall come fast enough. Where is Caesar's Brutus when you need him?...; )
IL will be the test case for the gun grabbers. As long as congress rejects gun control, any 0bama EO will not be enforced in red states. But look for another exploited event or Reichstag incident to give him momentum.
Damn, why do we have to be the ones to suffer the absolute worst president in US history?
Yes, it's not fair — we got the TWO worst presidents.
Fortunately all immigration laws DONT expire automatically and all guns are NOT outlawed automatically on a certain date or we would be going through the same circus we did with the automatic tax increases.
Best to not bring any of these up in the House, they are lose-lose.
guess cwii he wants it to begin quickly.
two bills in the republik of illinois, hb815 and hb 1263, will seek to drive gun ranges out of business and ban all semi auto hand guns, rifles and shotguns including all pump action shotguns and rifles. all are subject to confiscation by the state police. they will avoid taking all chicago gang bangers and drug lords guns.
Possibly, but things are trending in the right direction here at the moment. The state is getting backed into a corner on being the only holdout on conceal carry. Quinn wants to do some gun control measures but is not finding the votes in the legislature. We've even had a state's attorney in McClean County declare he won't enforce any IL gun laws he believes are inconsistent with Heller. This is all good. Gun grabbing is not going well here. And frankly, even the potentially Reichstag false flag moments are beginning to have the inverse effect from that allegedly intended. This isn't 1939 anymore.
Obama writes his own laws and Congress just sits back an lets him get away with it. I've never seen such cowardice in my life.
Yep, just saw that. More here:
I'm still optimistic. Local discussions are suggesting this is preemptive strike on conceal carry, which is now inevitable here. If passed, the ban measures would become effective right around when the state has to pony up a plan for cc. So the thinking seems to be this: If they have to let us carry, they will only let us carry Barny Fife one-bullet pop guns. Or less. It will amount to a de facto denial of the right, which would mean it will probably eventually be defeated in court, if it passes the full assembly. But I doubt it will.
You don't realize that we now have a one party system. The GOP morphed into Democrat lite over the past 4 years.
Time to take out the trash and install a new party.
There are over 300 million privately owned guns in our country.
There is no way those will be confiscated. There would be a revolution and a lot of dead federales.
President Reagan was able to nudge his programs through a reluctant opposition controlled congress using charm, wit, and persuasion. Obama wouldn't recognize these methods even if they were written on large font bold face type on his teleprompter. His two victory laps on winning the tax increase while rubbing the noses of the Republicans in the dirt are proof of this. Somehow I don't give his chances of achieving many more milestone successes that high. He has created too many enemies. He had few legislative successes even when he controlled both houses of congress. He could barely persuade Democrats to vote for his programs.
Exactly, there are simply not enough feds to do the job. They can try but it will fail quickly. Military will split and be neutered and local LEO's will stay home and protect their families. If the blue helmets come that will be a dream come true. Target rich environment.
My sympathies for you guys south of the border, I sure hope you can avert this crisis. If you get into a bind, you might want to rent some warehouse space for your extra semi-autos up here in WI. I wonder if some of your fellow citizens in Chi-town store some of their extra stuff in more hospitable environs.
You might also want to think of some covert storage systems at home just in case. If you have any good ideas, let me know.
True. The Whigs however had a big government approach to things.
Our Founders did not have that approach.
Acknowledged. Thanks.
We're getting a state sponsored invasion and your guns taken at the same time so you can't object!
Welcome to the reservation, Natives!
An Obama administration official said the president plans to push for immigration reform ..More like Obama will bypass congress and say every reform is but a new immigration rule change..

Delta to Buy ConocoPhillips Refinery for $180 Million
Delta Air Lines Inc. is bringing some jet-fuel production in house, breaking with U.S. carriers' reliance on outside providers, by acquiring a refinery that Phillips 66 had targeted for shutdown.
The world's second-biggest airline will pay $180 million for the complex in suburban Philadelphia, according to a statement yesterday. Pennsylvania's state government is putting up $30 million in assistance to defray the expense.
An airline-owned refinery is an experiment in the U.S. industry, said Ray Neidl, an airline analyst at Maxim Group LLC in New York. Atlanta-based Delta estimated the accord will save $300 million on its annual fuel bill, which was $11.8 billion last year, or about $32 million a day.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained," said Neidl, who has a buy rating on Delta shares. "Delta likes to try new things and I'm sure they studied this for months and ran the calculations. Nobody has done something quite like this before."
Delta is buying the refinery in Trainer, Pennsylvania, through a subsidiary called Monroe Energy LLC, a nod to the airline's original headquarters in Monroe, Louisiana. Trainer will add to earnings, boost margins and allow the airline to recoup its upfront investment in the first year, Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said in the statement.
Delta fell 1.5 percent to $10.80 late yesterday in extended trading. Phillips 66 begins trading today after the pipeline-and-refining company's spinoff from Houston-based ConocoPhillips. The new company also will be based in Houston.
$100 Million Upgrade
Trainer can refine 185,000 barrels of crude per day, and Delta said it will spend $100 million to convert the refinery to maximize production of jet fuel, of which the airline consumed 3.86 billion gallons last year.
The plant had been idled for months, and without a buyer it would have been closed by the end of May because tighter profit margins are squeezing East Coast refineries. Sunoco Inc. and Valero Energy Corp. are among companies also shutting or planning to sell refineries along the U.S. East Coast, in Europe and the U.S. Virgin Islands as oil prices rise and demand wanes.
BP Plc will supply crude oil to be refined at the Trainer refinery, and Delta said it will exchange gasoline and other refined products for more jet fuel through multiyear agreements with BP and Phillips 66.
Delta estimates that refining costs account for $2.2 billion of its fuel bill, and those production-related expenses are the fastest growing at the airline, Chief Executive Officer Richard Anderson told reporters yesterday on a conference call.
Delta Fuel Access
The deal also will help ensure jet-fuel availability at important Delta hubs, including New York's John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia airports, Anderson said.
"We have had this matter under study for the better part of the year," Anderson said. "It was clear we needed to exert much more control over the supply chain."
Delta's purchase was also "driven somewhat by the alarming rate of shutdowns" of refineries in the northeastern U.S., President Ed Bastian said.
Fuel accounted for 36 percent of Delta's operating costs last year. Delta has hedged 70 percent of this quarter's fuel needs pegged to prices at $3.05 to $3.40 a gallon, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Jet fuel for immediate delivery in New York Harbor rose 0.2 percent to $3.30 a gallon yesterday. The average price in 2012 before today was $3.23 a gallon, 6 percent more than for the same period a year earlier.
Profit Challenge
One challenge for Delta may be showing that it can operate the Trainer refinery more profitably than its previous owner did.
"You do have to question a little bit Delta management's thought that they can run it better than ConocoPhillips," said Kyle Cooper, director of research at Houston-based consultant IAF Advisors. "They've hopefully done their work and their analysis that says that this hedging cost is going to be lower than their current hedging cost."
Cory Garcia, an analyst at Raymond James & Associates Inc. in Houston, said letting the Trainer plant close might have been a better outcome for the oil industry, which is adding refining capacity outside the U.S.
"What you need to see is these less-profitable refineries come out of the market, shut down in order to rationalize or balance the overall supply-demand equation," said Garcia, who rates ConocoPhillips as market perform.
Trainer will be run by Jeffrey Warmann, who has 25 years of experience in the industry, most recently as refinery manager for Murphy Oil USA Inc.'s plant in Meraux, Louisiana, Delta said.
Delta's longer-term commitment is to invest $350 million at the facility, including acquisition costs, and keeping at least 402 full-time workers for five years from the date of occupancy, Steven Kratz, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, wrote in an e-mail message.

Chine Mobile, the world's largest mobile carrier, began offering the iPhone to its subscribers in mid-January. Recently, China Mobile Chief Executive Li Yue confirmed the carrier added one million iPhone users last month—an impressive number for both China Mobile and Apple.
"We added 1.34 million new 4G users in February and most of them are iPhone users. We are happy with the progress as we are still building our 4G network and the coverage is only available in some major cities," China Mobile Chairman Xi Gouhua told The Wall Street Journal.
China Mobile has a user base of over 700 million customers. Before the launch, several analysts predicted the availability of the iPhone in China could turn out to be a good thing for Apple, and suggested the number of units sold will land between 15 to 30 million. Apple revealed it has sold 472.3 million smartphones in total as of January 2014, with the number residing at 51 million for the Q1 of 2014.
Rumors have been circulating that Apple is working on a new iPhone 6 with a bigger form factor, which is expected to see the light of the day later this year, possibly in September.

Arcadia Wisdom and Knowledge Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene)
Quote #7
Hannah: Is there anything in it?
Valentine: In what? We are all doomed? Oh yes, sure – it's called the second law of thermodynamics.
Hannah: Was it known about?
Valentine: By poets and lunatics from time immemorial.
Hannah: Seriously.
Valentine: No. (2.5)
While Valentine may be joking in mentioning "poets and lunatics" here, Hannah later quotes a Byron poem that bears an eerie resemblance to that second law. Perhaps literary knowledge and scientific knowledge aren't entirely in opposition after all.
Quote #8
Hannah: Don't you see? I thought my hermit was a perfect symbol. An idiot in the landscape. But this is better. The Age of Enlightenment banished into the Romantic wilderness! The genius of Sidley Park living on in a hermit's hut!
Valentine: You don't know that.
Hannah: Oh, but I do. I do. Somewhere there will be something . . . if only I can find it. (2.5)
While Hannah is often the voice of reason in the play, insisting on more evidence than a CSI investigator, here she sounds much more like Bernard. Is she succumbing to bad thinking? Is she suggesting that knowledge doesn't have to be based on hard evidence to be valid, at least for the person who believes it? What?
Quote #9
Hannah: It's all trivial – your grouse, my hermit, Bernard's Byron. Comparing what we're looking for misses the point. It's wanting to know that makes us matter. Otherwise we're going out the way we came in. That's why you can't believe in the afterlife, Valentine. Believe in the after, by all means, but not the life. Believe in God, the soul, the spirit, the infinite, believe in angels if you like, but not in the great celestial get-together for an exchange of views. If the answers are in the back of the book I can wait, but what a drag. Better to struggle on knowing that failure is final. (2.7)
Here we get Hannah's manifesto: if she had a Facebook page, this would definitely be in her profile. While Valentine is excited by the possibilities opened up by the unknown, Hannah goes a step further – for her, not knowing is the point. If we could know once and for all, for certain, that would take the fun out of it.

New insulin collaboration
Warsaw – Polish drugmaker Bioton S.A. and Iceland-based generics firm Actavis Group ptc announced in January that they are entering into a marketing and distribution collaboration agreement for Bioton's insulins and insulin analogs. Under the terms of an initial agreement, Bioton will be responsible for the development, manufacture and registration of the products in different markets. Actavis is set to take responsibility for marketing and distribution. The companies plan to share the costs of product development and sales profits equally. In September, Actavis opened talks with Bioton on the acquisition of 51% of Bioton's shares in Swiss Biopartners Holdings. Actavis said that it will decide on that option after having finished the insulin deal.

Deakin joins the space race
Nanotechnology has a huge role to play in future space travel according to Professor Ying (Ian) Chen, the latest recruit to Deakin University?s new Institute for Technology Research and Innovation (ITRI).
Nanotechnology has a huge role to play in future space travel according to Professor Ying (Ian) Chen, the latest recruit to Deakin University?s new Institute for Technology Research and Innovation (ITRI).
The ?small? science can be used to develop new propulsion systems and also to create effective shields against radiation, an area in which Professor Chen is a world leader, even a galactic one.
?When astronauts leave the protection of the Earth, they are exposed to ionising radiation,? Professor Chen said. ?This is in the form of charged atomic particles travelling at close to the speed of light.?
Long term exposure to this radiation can lead to cancer and also damage to an astronaut?s DNA however, research by Professor Chen offers the hope that shielding materials manufactured boron 10 will in future provide long-term protection.
?We have known about the ability of boron 10 to capture neutrons since the early 1930?s,? Professor Chen said.
?A major issue though has been the manufacturing of pure boron nanotubes in large quantities.
?My colleagues and I have developed a ball milling method that can solve this problem.
?I have also been working with researchers at NASA about the possible applications of boron nanotubes in space missions.
?Several years ago they asked me to prepare boron nanotube samples for tests on the space station.?
Professor Chen says there will also be more earthly uses for the boron nanotubes, including the production of electrical power.
?There is a lot of talk about developing fusion energy to feed an energy-hungry world,? he said.
?One of the challenges to developing fusion energy on a commercial basis is coming up with materials that can provide shielding from the high neutron fluxes produced by the fusion process. Boron nanotubes might just allow us to do that, too.?
Professor Chen comes to ITRI from the Australian National University (ANU).
?He really is a prize signing for us,? said ITRI?s Chief Director, Professor Andrew Parratt. He comes with an international reputation for research that is right out there at the cutting edge.
?As with Professor Kevin Nicholas, he is part of the exciting widening and deepening of our research capabilities at Deakin.?
Professor Chen gained his BSc at Tsinghua University in China.
He completed his PhD at the University of Paris-Sud in France.
His most recent appointment was that of Senior Fellow in Research School of Physical Science and Engineering at ANU.
He is also a program leader for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Functional Nanomaterials. Professor Chen?s research at ITRI will also research into nanomaterials for use in the storage of energy ? solar cells, batteries and capacitators ? as well as medical applications and environmental protection.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. � The state Department of Health on Tuesday approved the merger of Prospect Medical Holdings, a Los-Angeles for-profit company,� with Our Lady of Fatima Hospital, in North Providence, and Roger Williams Medical Center, in Providence.
The merger of Prospect Medical with CharterCare, which owns the two hospitals, received approval last week from Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin.
The nonprofit hospitals would assume for-profit status.
�I hope the implementation of these approvals . . . will strengthen the fiscal condition of these valued hospitals,� Michael D. Fine, director of the Department of Health, said in a news release.
Prospect Medical is a privately held corporation that operates several hospitals and primary care clinics in California and Texas.
Prospect�s proposal included a pledge to pay off about $34 million of CharterCare debts and also allocate money for improvements.
At the time the potential partnership was announced, Kenneth H. Belcher, chief executive officer of CharterCare, predicted that patients would experience no noticeable changes due to the merger.

First-year coach Paul Keplinger has high expectations for the 2011-2012 season with Moorefield returning two key seniors from last year's 8-11 team.
The Lady Yellow Jackets lost in the second round of the sectional playoffs against Potomac Valley Conference foe East Hardy last season.
Keplinger takes over for Joseph Sherman, who stepped down after last season. It will be his second stint as the Lady Yellow Jackets' mentor as he coached Moorefield from 1996 to 2002.

Members of the 2011-2012 Moorefield High School basketball are, front row from left, Katelyn Wills, Maebeth Fisher, Shayna Vetter; middle row, Taylor Zuber, Courtney Parker, Megan Crites; back row, Cheyenne Linder and Beth Cook.
"I'm really looking forward to getting back into coaching," Keplinger said. "I really missed it and when the job came open, I applied for it and got it. I'm glad to be back."
The Lady Yellow Jackets' two senior starters returning are Shanda Combs and Maebeth Fisher, who are both guards.
"These two are going to be our leaders this season," Keplinger said. "They've got good speed and they now what it takes to be out on the court."
Also returning with varsity experience will be junior guard/forward Katelyn Wills and junior Courtney Parker.
"Katelyn is a great hustler," Keplinger said. "Courtney is one of our top wing players so we are expecting good things from her this season."
Juniors Taylor Zuber and Shayna Vetter will both see time in the post area for the Lady Yellow Jackets.
"These girls will help us a lot underneath," Keplinger said. "We've have a lot to choose from down low in the post, which is good for our team."
Junior Meagan Crites is projected to be the team's point guard this season.
"Crites saw time at the junior varsity level and varsity level last season," Keplinger said. "She has great ball handling skills and can see the floor very well."
Sophomore Beth Cook and freshman Cheyenne Linder are both fighting for varsity playing time.
"It's been a good learning experience for the kids so far during the summer and through the first few days of practice," Keplinger said. "They're adjusting well so far to our new offense and that's what I've been looking for."
Moorefield's non-conference schedule includes Berkeley Springs, Petersburg, Strasburg, and Northern. The Lady Yellow Jackets will be playing in the Tip-off tournament in Petersburg. The other teams in the tourney are Petersburg, East Hardy and Pendleton County.
Moorefield will open the season with three consecutive home games starting on Nov. 29 when it entertains Berkeley Springs.
The Lady Yellow Jackets will then play host to Petersburg on Dec. 2 and Pendleton County on Dec 6.

We're not really sure why (need for updated content? lack of anything in the way of worthwhile ideas from their editorial staff? an obsession with lists?), but it seems like various online outlets are publishing their 'best bands' lists (are there really 40 great new acts this year Stereogum?) and the best of the first 9 months of 2011 just seconds after a best of the first half of the year… So, what the hell, that seems like a reason to chime in with some of what we see as the cooler musical moments to date (since we flaked on a mid-year summation), especially as some of the 'best of' ratings are populated with a fair share of clunkers (EMA, tUnE-YarDs we're looking at you), some that have been much covered but have generated medicore sales and others that we have to disqualify just because (The Head and the Heart really came out in 2010 more than once, and well, there was this too…) So drumroll please… a few of the musical bright spots of the year to date…
Cass McCombs "County Line" (Domino) – quite possibly the track of the year, and McCombs' finest moment to date. The full length, Wit's End, is his best yet, though peppered with a couple of jarring moments foiling any aspirations for album of the year (but then, there are more than a few other records in 2011 that seem to suffer from the same affliction)
Middle Brother Middle Brother (Partisan) – a 'super group' of sorts, but one that may well be greater than the sum of its parts. Dare we drag up the 'alt country' tag, but this trio from Dawes, Deer Tick and the Delta Spirit made an album full of sublime originals (exemplified by the rather superb "Wilderness") and a rather great Replacements cover (Portland) which will warm the cockles of any Whiskeytown or Ryan Adams fan's heart.
The Kills Blood Pressures (Domino) – Rock'n'roll at its finest. Guitars and more guitars. A cheap drum machine. And one of the sexiest and most engaging vocalists out there. What else do you need?
Caitlin Rose Own Side Now (Theory 8) – An album that is charming, full of personality and brimming with well crafted songwriting. The spirit of Emmy Lou Harris and Neko Case lives on in the next generation, and for that we are thankful. No wonder the Europeans were early adopters and embraced the talents of this diminutive Nashville singer-songwriter.
Yuck Yuck (Fat Possum) – yes it is derivative, and owes an awful, awful lot to the 90′s, and especially Dinosaur Jr. But hell, J Mascis hasn't made a truly brilliant record in years, and has headed into old(er)age by making acoustic records, so someone has to pick up the baton in the noise-rock stakes.
The War on Drugs Slave Ambient (Secretly Canadian) – The Bloomington, IN label collective does it again, with another great release – this time from the indie rock band from Philadelphia, who once featured Kurt Vile amongst its members. An album both dense and laid back, featuring the droll Tom Verlaine-esque vocals from A. Granduciel. It's been described in the media as Spiritualized meets Springsteen, and that seems an apt assessment of its dreamy psychedelic-tinged Americana.
Charles Bradley No Time for Dreaming (Dunham) – Both Otis Redding and James Brown may have left this mortal coil, but Bradley makes a brave effort to step in and at least partially fill their ample shoes on his debut album – released at an age when many of his peers are looking to take advantage of those AARP discounts. A slab of sweaty, wrenching soul. Excellent.
Adele Rolling in the Deep (XL) – yeah, so sue us… It doesn't matter how popular this track is, but it is an absolute monster. The same can't be said for the whole album, which can veer into schmaltzy mainstream territory, but just for this one song alone, Adele, we salute you!
WILD FLAG - Everything about them. The live show. The limited edition RSD 7″. The videos. The album on Merge. A band that just elicits pure excitement from devotees, both new & old. And they rock. Can't complain about any of that!
Flaming Lips – live at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. A spectacular light show, with strobe lights and lasers bouncing off the palm trees, gravestones and crypts, and playing their finest moment The Soft Bulletin front to back in one the best settings for an outdoor live show in Los Angeles. Three thumbs up!
TV on the Radio Nine Types of Light (Interscope) – thankfully ditching the more overt art-rock tendencies of their last 2 releases, the kings of Brooklyn return to form. And still may be the most unlikely act signed to a major label…
Beach Boys 7″ (free with MOJO 60′s magazine) – a fine taster from the upcoming Capitol issue of the Smile Sessions box set, and putting Panda Bear in his place, showing him who is the master, and making the point about what a real teenage symphony to god should sound like.
Warner Brothers Record Store Day 7″ series – a genius idea – pairing an original from their storied catalog with a cover by one of their newer acts, for example Jenny & Johnny covering Gram Parsons' "Love Hurts". The only fault is that in playing (on Warner Brothers or on other labels) a few of the originals such as Husker Du "I Don't Want to Know if You are Lonely" it only amplifies the sense that very few, if any, artists are making recordings even close to being this truly classic and long-lasting in 2011…
Bright Eyes The People's Key (Saddle Creek) – At the recent LA live show, the Nebraska combo played one track after another which made the listener think, "This is a great song. And so is this…" And many were drawn from the latest (and possibly final?) album from Conor Oberst helmed Bright Eyes. An album that has possibly the most elaborate packaging for a regular CD & LP release for the year. And we'll say 'thanks' for all of the above.

Those who pushed for renaming the Wichita airport, "Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport" are excited.
"I feel it's a victory for Wichita and the people of Kansas," petition organizer Jan Harrison said after the city council vote.
But, getting council approval is one thing. It's another thing to actually make the name change happen.
"I think it's an enormous task," advertising executive Susan Bowers of Media Partners Inc. says. "They'll have a lot of work to do over the next few months."
Bowers says when a name is so well-established--like Mid-Continent--it takes much more than the stroke of a pen. Not only is the name everywhere--from highway signs, to advertising, to wall placards--it's also what everybody is used to.
"The airport is still going to be the airport," Bowers adds. "They're really not changing who they are, they're just changing their name. But, it is a big deal because of the cost involved and the length of time it takes to accomplish something like that."
Airport director Victor White says signage is indeed a big expense, which includes designing a new logo. Though, he says the new logo may look similar to the old one in order to save on cost.
Still, the old logo won't be going away overnight. White says the FAA isn't likely to approve the name change until mid-summer. The FAA also has to issue the airport a new operating license. He says it's too early to say whether the name change will be slowly launched over time, or whether it will happen in a big splash when the new airport terminal is opened a year from now.

But is that system Andy Reids? And if so, what is it that Barkley has that someone a round later wouldn't? Is he just another Dalton?
I think it's fair to ask if it makes sense to use a pick that high on someone that's only going to succeed because the system is so QB friendly.

If the Labour leader is to be a consistent supporter of democracy and transparency, he cannot defend a system that allows unions to donate millions from their members without permission. Ed Miliband's decision to support a new opt-in system of trade union funding for Labour is by some distance the biggest gamble he has taken since becoming party leader. At present, members of affiliated unions merely have the right to opt-out of paying the political levy (a portion of which goes to Labour) but under the new system they would be required to give their explicit consent.

Dortmund's Grosskreutz eager to play in Premier League
Borussia Dortmund attacker Kevin Grosskreutz has revealed he is still eager to make a "dream" move to the Premier League amidst rumoured interest from Liverpool.
The 24-year-old scored seven goals in 26 league starts last term as Jurgen Klopp's men lifted the Bundesliga title ahead of Bayern Munich.
But, having seen his first-team action restricted this term following the arrival of Marco Reus and the continuing form of Jakub Błaszczykowski, Grosskreutz has conceded he is restless at the club.
He told Goal.com: "Of course I'm not happy. Whoever is happy if he doesn't play is in the wrong business. I'm totally unhappy. I want to play, that's all that counts for me."
Recent reports suggest that Liverpool could be set to offer Grosskreutz a January lifeline, but the midfielder remains relaxed about a move he admits he has been eyeing for some time.
"I have one-and-a-half year left. I'm taking it easy. We will see," he added.
"The dream was there three, four years ago - it was always my dream. But I do have a contract with Borussia Dortmund. Everything's possible in football but Dortmund is the first club to talk to."

BPC welcomes new members to Board of Trustees
MOUNT VERNON—The Brewton-Parker College Board of Trustees welcomed eight new members to its 31-member board Jan. 20, announced newly elected board chairman Dr. Tony Romans.
The new BPC Board of Trustees are Gary Campbell of Vidalia, Allen Canady of Savannah, Ken Dowling of McRae, Rev. Karl Hay of Mount Vernon, Tim Redding of Metter, Schel Paulk of Guyton, Russell Pierce of Warner Robins and Rev. Bobby Thompson of Vidalia.
Hay and Paulk will serve terms expiring in 2013 and Dowling's term will expire in 2014. The other members will serve terms expiring in 2015.
Gary Campbell is a returning member of the Board, serving as a previous board chair. He and his wife Debra live in Vidalia where he is president and COO of VNS Corporation. He and his wife are members of the First Baptist Church of Vidalia. A graduate of Georgia Southern with a B.S., Campbell is a member of Kiwanis, United Way and the Meadows Healthcare Alliance. His daughter, Leslie Campbell Wallace, is a BPC graduate.
"BPC is a special and valuable institution, both to higher education and to our area of the state. We are fortunate in that it has an unapologetically Christian focus," said Campbell.
Campbell was voted vice chairman of the Board during the Jan. 20 meeting.
Allen H. Canady and his wife Linda reside in Savannah where he is the Director of Treatment with the Chatham County Drug Court and a licensed professional counselor at Recovery Place, Inc. He and his wife attend Southside Baptist Church in Savannah, where he serves as a Deacon. A graduate of Regent's University (N.Y.) with his undergraduate and Argosy with his masters, Canady is a member of the National Association for Addiction Counselors.
"As a Brewton-Parker College trustee I hope to accomplish the spreading of the knowledge about the amazing and wonderful accomplishments of students and staff at one of our finest local colleges in Georgia," said Canady.
Ken S. Dowling is a former member of the board. He and his wife Marsha live in McRae where he is the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Security State Bank. He holds a BBA in Finance from the University of Georgia, class of 1962 and is a member of the McRae Rotary Club. His aunt, Delores Tifton, graduated from Brewton-Parker College.
"I hope to do I can to help Brewton-Parker College continue to grow and to attract students from our area and elsewhere because it offers them a quality academic education with a Christian world view. One great thing about Brewton-Parker is the small class size where students get to personally know their instructors and professors," said Dowling.
Rev. Karl Hay is a former CIO of BPC. He and his wife Laura both reside in Mount Vernon where he serves as the pastor of the First Baptist Church.
Hay received his bachelor of science in business administration from BPC in 1993 and earned his MBA from Georgia College and State University in 1994. His wife and their children, Curtis and Rebecca, also attended Brewton-Parker College.
"As a BPC Trustee, I hope that I can influence people within our local community to support BPC any way possible since it is the only distinctly Christian higher education institution in southeast Georgia," said Hay.
Tim E. Redding Sr. and his wife Pam reside in Metter, where he is president of Redding Motor Co., Inc. He and his wife attend the First Baptist Church of Statesboro. He is a member of the Rotary Club of Metter.
"I hope to make people more aware of the quality Christian education that is available right here in our backyard; how this college may be the right size or fit for students that want and need a smaller environment to learn with more one-on-one direction," said Redding.
Schel Paulk and his wife Terri reside in Guyton where he is CEO of a landscaping business. He and his wife attend New Providence Baptist Church of Guyton. After attending BPC from 1987 to 1990, he graduated from University of Georgia in 1992. His daughter Kimberly P. Healy also attended Brewton-Parker.
Russell "Russ" A. Pierce and his wife Kimberly live in Warner Robins where he is employed as an investment advisor for LPC Financial. He and his wife attend First Baptist Church of Centerville, and he serves as the assistant director of Ironmen Ministries. "As a Brewton-Parker College Trustee, I hope to accomplish a greater awareness of the abilities and benefits that Brewton-Parker can provide to the young men and women seeking a solid education from a school with a solid moral foundation," said Pierce.
Rev. Robert "Bobby" T. Thompson and his wife Susan reside in Vidalia where he is the pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church. He holds a bachelor of science degree in business administration from Newberry College and a M.Div. in Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth from the Billy Graham School of Missions and Evangelism at Southern Theological Seminary. Redding's father attended high school at Brewton-Parker Institute in 1944.
One of the most important investments that we make is in the lives of those who hold the future," said Rev. Thompson about his term on the board.
Brewton-Parker College is the only accredited four-year Christian college in South Georgia. Affiliated with the Georgia Baptist Convention, BPC's main campus is located in Mount Vernon and it has an external center in Newnan.

Technical Abstract: Soil clay mineral and organic components are responsible for pesticide sorption controlling transport in runoff and to ground water. This study assessed the influence of different components of soil clay fractions, montmorillonite, iron oxide, and humic acid and binary and ternary associations on sorption of imidacloprid. Sorption on soil clay fractions increased with increased percent OC and surface area. This indicates a contribution of surfaces of mineral components of soil clay for sorption. Imidacloprid sorbed on montmorillonite and humic acid, but sorption was low on iron oxide. Sorption Kd on montmorillonite increased when pH decreased, suggesting protonation of the imidazol ring. Sorption on binary and ternary associations of sorbents indicated that organic matter is the most important single component affecting sorption of imidacloprid.

The bar was raised yet again with this year's AyA Managers Weekend challenge. The managers came up with this year's theme – director's search and rescue, with a foot and canoe race to start, and a last minute orienteering challenge before rescuing a director and carrying them home to safety.
Four teams of three each selected a runner who raced to determine choice of canoe. From there each team had to canoe around the island and reach the designated start point on the mainland. The theatrics started early as one (not quite anonymous) team's canoe launch was spectacularly less than successful, but before long all teams were criss-crossing the great outdoors looking for the strategically place markers. Once all markers were found (and verified!) stretchers were assembled using only twine and found material.
The race concluded with a last paddle back to the island and 'sprint' to the point. Congratulations to Anya, Scott and Dan for their championship performance, and to Moose, Avtar and Tarek; the comeback kids.
The quick recap: the weather held out and despite the forecast turned sunny, the water was unseasonably warm, the food and drink copious and delicious, the jokes off-colour and the fishing fine.
Once again, another great weekend!!

A recent MSHA report raises safety questions about a Knott County miner's death earlier this year.
It was this past July when 28 year old Jason Mosley died in a surface mining accident. A 30 foot rock fell on to the cab of his high wall drill, at the Smith Branch Number One Mine in Knott County.
A mine safety advocate is now saying Mosley's death could lead to changes in the industry.
But those WYMT talked to say Mosley was more than just a miner.
Jason Mosley's death has not been easy on 6 year old Cody Baker or his sister Jade...
his mother Evelyn.
"Jason wasn't their biological father, but he was everything that a dad could ever be and they knew him as daddy," Evelyn Mosley said.
But their daddy won't be making it home for the holidays.
A recent MSHA report about the accident that took Mosley's life says "Inadequate onshift examinations were performed" and "Mine management failed to assure that the positioning of the highwall drill was in accordance with the ground control plan".
An accident one mine safety advocate says could have been prevented if federal laws would mandate surface mines to make pre-shift examinations, just as underground mines are required to do.
"In Jason's case, had there been a pre-shift requirement, hopefully the company would have observed the fact the high wall was unstable," Tony Oppegard said.
"If changes can be made to prevent this from happening to anybody else, I'll push it all the way," Evelyn Mosley said.
Oppegard says rollover protection on a highwall drill could also have possibly saved Mosley's life.
He hopes more mine safety legislation will be enacted to save the lives of other husbands and
other daddies.
Attempts to reach Leonard Hendrickson, the owner and operator of Hendrickson Equipment and Smith Branch Number One Mine were unsuccessful Tuesday night.

Visual Language
Our teaching philosophy is committed to the interrogation of the practice of photography through its history and relationship to culture. The program pursues a specific interest in how the photographic image has become a dominant visual language and how as artists we are using this language to explore.
You'll be exposed to a wide spectrum of contemporary fine art photographic practice, including narrative, landscape, portrait, documentary and expanded photographic works, such as installations and emerging relationships between the still and the moving image.
You will also explore aesthetic and conceptual perspectives in diverse areas of personal image making; learn to control the camera from 35mm to large formats, darkroom and digital workflow for all levels of production; and gain a strong grounding in professional lighting, the craft of the fine print and installation and display of your senior thesis project in a professional venue.
Experiential learning and the development of creative problem-solving skills provide the flexibility to adapt to the continuous changes in the discipline and prepare our graduates for thriving multifaceted careers.

Europe's Morning MoneyBeat: China Data Miss Puts Bulls On Defense
Good Morning Europe
Thursday could see a sticky start for European equity, thanks to yet more disappointing economic news out of China.
The preliminary version of HSBC's closely-watched Purchasing Managers Index for the country's manufacturing sector showed contraction in January. It fell to a six-month low of 49.6.
Investors have been fairly cheery so far this year, and why wouldn't they be? With the International Monetary Fund upgrading global growth forecasts, and better performances from around the euro zone's troubled periphery, the global economy arguably started 2014 in better New Year shape than it has since the financial crisis hit.
However, with China looking wobbly, ultra-loose monetary policy seemingly close to an end in many developed economies, and even the U.S. debt ceiling dragon stirring again, it seems that the bulls' New Year resolution could be sternly tested before January is out. The bulls will have to take solace in the approach of China's long Lunar New Year break, and hope it's skewing the numbers.
Market Snapshot: U.S. stocks (Wednesday close) DJIA down 0.3%, Nasdaq up 0.4%, S&P 500 up 0.1%. Nikkei (Thursday close) down 0.8%. FTSE futures down 0.4%, S&P futures down 0.3%. Brent crude down 33 cents at $107.94. Gold down $4 at $1234.60. EUR/USD now at $1.3550, just above $1.3547 late Wednesday in New York. USD/JPY at ¥104.33, below ¥104.53. Ten-year T-note yields 2.85%, Bund 1.76%.
Watch For: Manufacturing PMIs from around the euro zone. U.S. weekly initial jobless claims (13:30 GMT), U.S. December existing home sales (15: 00 GMT), U.S. December leading indicators (15:00 GMT), EMU January consumer confidence (15:00 GMT).

If things had gone according to plan, Nikhil Arora and Alejandro Velez would both be wearing ties to work. They almost certainly wouldn't be dressed in jeans, working in a hot, humid conference room with 48 experimental fish tanks lining the windows. And they certainly wouldn't be spending weekends doing product demos at grocery stores.

Adaptive LED Headlights.
The Adaptive LED Headlights essentially shape the unmistakeable appearance of the BMW 7 Series. The accent line with indicator function cuts into the top of characteristic light rings – thus redefining the expression of the entire front section.
The distinctive form of the new BMW double-round headlights follows intelligent function: daytime running lights as well as dipped and high beam shine from the three-dimensional rings. LED lights illuminate the road with daylight intensity and rich contrast, while the cones of the Adaptive Headlights dynamically follow every turn in the road.
When bends are taken slowly, the integrated cornering lights enclosed by an elegant chrome strip automatically light up the area at the side of the vehicle. The BMW Selective Beam (anti-dazzle High-Beam Assistant) offers best possible visibility for the driver without obstructing others. A mechanism inside the headlights intelligently masks areas with the potential for dazzling other road users.

Just today at ACR we started a petition to apologize for this childish irresponsible behavior to the Commonwealth and the rest of the world. People everywhere need to understand that the majority of Canadians do NOT see things in the same way our present government does.

text: According to villagers in Aneyoshi, in the region of the recent Japanese tsunami, it was warnings written in stone by their ancestors that saved their village of 11 households from devestation. The stone tablets planted on the forested hillside in an area where the recent tsunami rose to record heights, are warnings across generations telling descendants to avoid the same suffering as their ancestors. Some tsunami stones are up to six centuries old, but most were erected about a century ago when two deadly tsunamis killed 22,000 people. They warn where not to build houses, point to places of safety beyond the tsunami's reach or tell of previous disasters.
