Skip to comments.Tea Party Forces A Runoff in Mississippi: McDaniel and Cochran fail to win a majority
Posted on 06/04/2014 6:39:07 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Its the scenario that Republicans on both sides of Mississippis hard-fought primary battle had hoped to avoid: Neither candidate in Tuesdays primary captured 50 percent of the vote, sending the race into a June 24 runoff election.
It was a virtually unknown candidate, real-estate broker Thomas Carey of Hernando, Miss., who determined the outcome: With 99.5 percent of precincts reporting, he had captured 1.6 percent of the vote, keeping both incumbent senator Thad Cochran, with 48.8 percent, and his insurgent challenger, state senator Chris McDaniel, with 49.6 percent, under the 50 percent margin required to seize victory. Into the wee hours of the morning, Cochran advisers were predicting the senator will wind up with a lead when the last votes are counted. Regardless, it wont be enough to push him over the 50 percent mark.
A runoff election gives McDaniel a second chance to pick off the 76-year-old Cochran. He has the wind at his back: Turnout in runoff elections is historically low and tends to favor challengers, whose supporters tend to be more motivated.
Thats why, when McDaniel addressed his supporters in Hattiesburg, Miss., shortly after midnight Wednesday, he delivered what could easily have been mistaken for a victory speech.
Oh, my goodness, what a wonderful night, he said. The state senator from Ellisville, Miss., a city of approximately 5,000, has cast himself as the true conservative in the race and sought to characterize Cochran as a historical relic, an appropriator and a compromiser who has proved unwilling to take the fight to President Obama.
McDaniel declared the outcome of the race a historic moment in the states history. Cochran, by contrast, did not appear to address his supporters.
National Republican groups must now decide whether to redouble their efforts on Cochrans behalf and risk damaging McDaniel if he become the nominee in what has already been a highly personal race. The decision is made more agonizing by the fact that continuing to hammer McDaniel may have a high cost: Democrats recruited a potentially competitive nominee in the deep-red state, former representative Travis Childers, a pro-life, pro-gun legislator they believe can mount a credible campaign against McDaniel.
The outcome in Mississippi is unquestionably a victory for the GOPs tea-party wing. Many have argued that the overarching narrative of the 2014 election cycle is of the Republican establishment vanquishing the Tea Party. The partys insurgent forces, though, have put up a fight in only four major races: in Kentucky, where they tried and failed to unseat Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell; in Idaho, where they attempted unsuccessfully to oust representative Mike Simpson; in Nebraska, where they defeated the establishment-backed candidate, Shane Osborn; and in Mississippi, where McDaniel which a victory now hangs in the balance.
The 2014 cycle, says a top Republican strategist, is very comparable to previous cycles where the tea-party candidates win a relatively small number of races, which is what theyve always done in very tough primaries.
But McDaniel strikes fear in the Republican establishment and even among some of his supporters because he is relatively untested; comments unearthed from his time as a radio talk-show host evoked the specter of failed candidacies in winnable races, like those of Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana. In one exchange, McDaniel discussed the possibility of paying reparations to the descendants of slaves. If they pass reparations, and my taxes are going up, I aint paying taxes, he said, and urged listeners to move to Mexico. You know, a dollar bill can buy a mansion in Mexico.
The McDaniel campaign suffered a major setback and exacerbated those reservations when a McDaniel supporter was arrested last month for breaking into the nursing home of Cochrans bedridden wife in an attempt to produce a hit video on the senator. Three others have since been indicted in connection with the incident.
In the closing weeks of the campaign, though, and despite the Cochran camps attempts to tie him to the scandal, McDaniel rebounded.
If he emerges victorious later this month, he will have accomplished a feat that hasnt been performed in Mississippi in over six decades: defeating a sitting senator running for reelection. That last happened in the Democratic primary of 1942, when James Eastland defeated Wall Doxey, who had served in the Senate for just two years.
Picking off Cochran, who has served in the Senate for 38 years, would certainly be a more impressive accomplishment. If McDaniel pulls it off, he can thank an influx of money from outside groups that marked Cochran as the most vulnerable establishment-GOP incumbent. McDaniel received over $5.2 million from groups like the Club for Growth and the Senate Conservatives Fund, compared with approximately $238,000 in individual contributions, a ratio of more than 20 to one. Cochran also received support from out-of-state groups: Organizations such as the National Association of Realtors and the American Hospital Association spent over $2.7 million to support him, while he raised nearly $700,000 from individual donors. Cochrans ratio of out-of-state to in-state money was far lower approximately four to one but more than a third of Cochrans individual contributions came from registered lobbyists in the Washington, D.C., area, including those employed by the liberal Podesta Group, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics in late February.
Cochran created his own problems, too, frustrating national Republicans last year by wringing his hands over whether to retire and surprising many in the Republican establishment when he announced in late December, two months after McDaniel announced his campaign, that he would seek reelection to a seventh term.
I dont think Cochran was as prepared for this challenge as other incumbents who have dealt with similar challenges. He didnt have a lot of money or a real campaign infrastructure, says a strategist for the McDaniel campaign. Mississippi heavyweights like former governor Haley Barbour and his sons, Austin and Henry; the states current governor, Phil Bryant; and former Senate majority leader Trent Lott all stepped in to boost Cochran.
Cochran supporters worked to turn out Democratic voters, placing an ad in a Jackson-based newspaper with a largely African-American readership. (That strategy is limited in the next three weeks because Mississippi election law forbids anybody who voted in Tuesdays Democratic primary from voting in the runoff election of the opposite party.) In the end, though, even his strongest backers were expressing reservations.
Senator Cochran has a small lead, but the McDaniel supporters are absolutely going to turn out to vote, Henry Barbour wrote in an e-mail to supporters on Friday. I worry that too many Cochran voters think he has it in the bag. That is not the case. A low-turnout election would spell defeat for Senator Cochran.
In the runoff later this month, the turnout will be low indeed, and both sides are preparing for the fight. We grew up on runoffs in Ms. This will be fun. Lets go, Cochran adviser Stuart Stevens said in a tweet. McDaniel assured his supporters, Whether its tonight, whether its tomorrow, we will stand victorious in this race.
Eliana Johnson is a political reporter for National Review Online.
Mississippi, can McDaniel beat Childers?
Thad Cochran: Just another example of the corrupting influence of incumbency and of the permanent political class. Lamar, Miss Lindsey, McLame, Little Mitchie, Boner-the list is endless.
Article V. is the only answer.
76 years old? Let it go. It's time for fresh blood and new ideas.
"Cochran, by contrast, did not appear to address his supporters."
No surprise. It was after 10:00 PM.
Relic? He's been in Washington 42 years (and what has he accomplished?)! He's an effing dinosaur who needs to go!
Sick and tired of these long-term incumbents who think they are entitled to lifetime jobs on our dime(s). Cochran can go be a greeter at a casino in Biloxi for all I care (he's probably better suited to that work anyway).
"...Mississippi election law forbids anybody who voted in Tuesdays Democratic primary from voting in the runoff election of the opposite party..."
Does Mississippi have what it takes to enforce this? If not...it could be trouble.
NR long ago joined the GOPe/Rove wing of the RINO party.
this is pathetic... no one in the GOP should try to boost Cochran or any GOP candidate in a PRIMARY election who has been in office that long... it is sickening... if you cannot support new blood, then at the very least, stay out of it and let the chips fall where they may...
Really? Does he have inside info? Is he knowledgeable about the votes that haven't been counted? Does he believe there are votes remaining to be cast?
Or is he just talking out his ass?
Cochran first ran for the House after serving as AA to a Democrat member.
"insurgent forces, though, have put up a fight in only four major races: in Kentucky, where they tried and failed to unseat Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell; in Idaho, where they attempted unsuccessfully to oust representative Mike Simpson; in Nebraska, where they defeated the establishment-backed candidate, Shane Osborn; and in Mississippi, where McDaniel which a victory now hangs in the balance."
Patently false. We also have T.W. Shannon in Oklahoma who is likely to beat establishment James Lankford to take Coburn's seat. We lost in Alabama with Chad Mathis and in North Carolina where Greg Brannon lost. But we have forced a runoff in Georgia with Barry Loudermilk! And also Mia Love is heading to the House from Utah.
So who will the Carey voters go to? One would assume McDaniel since they didn't vote for Cochran buy it's hard to tell. Carey didn't have a website so we don't know a whole lot about his positions. He runs some sort of prison ministry. He's against Obamacare - so are both the other candidated. He's for flat tax, doing away with the IRS and EPS, and a couple of other things that might tend his supporters towards McDaniel. He's on record as saying he doesn't plan to vote for either of his opponents assuming they won, so maybe his people will just stay home?
NR long ago joined the GOPe/Rove wing of the RINO party.
I know...do any true constitutional conservatives actually still subscribe to the National Review? This piece is a perfect example of the GOPe propaganda that they specialize in putting out now—it is filled with lies and misstatements.
Wow, Stuart Stevens is advising Cochran's campaign? Good luck with that, Thad, lol.
Last nights McDaniel "win"..and he will win come 3 weeks from now has completely shaken the Mississippi Rove/Barbour/Bush entrenched, crony establishment machine...I'm loving every minute of it.
The TEA PARTY IS ALIVE AND THRIVING
Good assessment. And they "conveniently" omit any reference to Joni Ernst (who slaughtered the GOPe candidate Mark Jacobs last night in Iowa).
Yes. Childers is just a spook. He'll do better than previous Mississippi Dems, but he's no Joe Donnelly, and this isn't Indiana. McDaniel can just coast to victory.
Not only that, but Jacobs came THIRD! He was also beaten by conservative Sam Clovis. It is clear the establishment has lost its leverage in Iowa.
"...but Jacobs came THIRD!..."
I didn't know that. My, how the mighty have fallen. I watched some of a debate they had in Iowa and Sam Clovis was quite a character.
That he was, and this is really how a primary should go. I am happy with the result even though I endorsed Clovis. Ernst will be a great candidate and hopefully she'll keep the straight and narrow when she enters the senate.
Now awaiting Bruce Braley's dismissal of 'dumb farmers like Grassley and Erst'. That will play well with the floating voters.
Mississippi has tHAD enough ping Well half of us anyway!!!
( Cochran, by contrast, did not appear to address his supporters. )
It was way past his bedtime
Yes and it won't be close.
We have voter ID that went off went off without a hitch yesterday. If that helps.
Hell back then everybody in Ms was a Democrat.
Thad Cochran -- a prime exhibit in the museum of the fossilized Republican Party.
Thad really needs to Go! Turn the page with him.
National Review is doing their best to put this in a positive light for Cochran, but if you read between the lines here, it's clear that Cochran is bought and paid for by liberal lobbyists who could care less about Mississippi. What Cochran gets out of his support to liberals is a a bid wad of pork to distribute to the Haley Barbour insiders.
Uncle Joe: "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything."
That was on Friday so he was talking about opinion polls.
If McDaniels defeats Cochran in the primary run-off....which he will win, by a good margin.......Chris McDaniels in the next USA Senator from Mississipppi!!! End of story!!! Just take at look at the ballots cast for McDaniels & Cochran...over 350,000 and compare to the roughly 80,000-90,000 cast for low life, Obamabot, Democrat, Childers!!!
Take away, the low life, vermin Democrats that breached the Pubbie primary with their destructive votes, trying to defeat the Tea Party (they failed) and McDaniel wins...hands down!!!
McDaniel....do not up for one second.....destroy Obamabot lover, Thad Cochran in the runoff!!!
You do realize that MS has open primaries. Based on my observation at my own polling place yesterday, many of the Cochran votes were Obama voters. Cochran placed ad(s) in black owned/run papers begging for dim crossover votes. And based on my, and others, observations got them.
Now, whether they'll bother to get out and vote again, on jun 24 when it'll be warmer and even more humid is the real question.
That most of them will be voting dim in the fall is not in question, however.
All good, but that the TEA Party couldn't come up with a credible challenge to Lindthy Graham still rankles me.
I predict Lindsey Graham is forced into a runoff. Of the three polls done in that race, all before McDaniel's win last night, only one showed Graham over 50%
Have you all seen this:
@SenThadCochran: Welcome home, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. A grateful America thanks you for your service.
How out of touch can that old coot be?
If I were in ms. and on McDaniel's team, this stupid tweet by Cochran would be front & center of any run off strategy. Just sayin.

One GOP Group Hopes Thad Cochran Will Walk Away from a Mississippi Runoff
Abby Ohlheiser
All signs point to a three-week runoff battle between longtime Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran and his Tea Party challenger Chris McDaniel. The GOP can avoid what seems sure to be a frantic three-week scramble to secure the nomination if one of two things happen: 1) the precincts who haven't yet reported their election results manage by some miracle to bump McDaniel a few tenths of a percentage point above the simple majority threshold needed to win the primary outright, or 2) one of the two candidates steps aside. McDaniel's allies are hoping Cochoran will do just that.
It's easy to see why, for some, giving up early would not be the most shocking thing to happen in this midterm cycle. That's especially after Molly Ball's must-read Atlantic profile of Cochran on Tuesday painted a portrait of a candidate who was weary of the campaign trail, and who failed to recognize a reporter he met a half an hour ago. Cochran, 76, has said that the first thing he'd like to do after Tuesday's primaries, if he won, was "take a nap." He didn't even speak to his supporters last night at his campaign's election night party.
On Wednesday morning, the conservative Club for Growth released a statement calling for Cochran to save the GOP the pain of a runoff with a voluntary decision to discontinue his candidacy. Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said:
Yesterdays historic vote makes it clear that Mississippians are ready to turn the page to a new generation of bold, conservative leadership. Senator Cochran has served honorably, but the rationale for his candidacy ended yesterday. He said he didnt want to run again, but everyone asked him to. Well, a plurality of Mississippi Republican voters just proved that they dont want him to...He should do the honorable thing and decline to contest the runoff. Should he choose to persist, the Club for Growth PAC and conservatives throughout Mississippi will vigorously pursue this race to its conclusion, and we will look forward to the election of Senator Chris McDaniel.
Basically, people who think a Cochran pullout is a good idea are raising two points: first, Cochran didn't really seem to want to run for another term in the first place. And second, the votership for a primary runoff will be more conservative than it was on Tuesday, leaving many to wonder how Cochran, currently in second place, can win under that scenario. To add to the pain, a potential big GOP spender who'd be inclined to support Cochran Karl Rove's American Crossroads is going to stay out of any possible runoff in Mississippi.
On the other hand, the GOP establishment also believes that a McDaniel candidacy could make Cochran's seat an unexpected opportunity for Democrats to actually snag a Senator from Mississippi, during a midterm cycle when a GOP takeover of the Senate is within reach. McDaniel, who pitches himself as the most conservative Senate candidate in the country, is currently embroiled in a messy political scandal involving one of his allies.
I had not seen that. Thanks for the ping to it onyx.
What, and interrupt his Matlock marathon?
I heard on Rush thad reintroduced himself to a reporter 30 minutes after an interview
Gads! The GOPe needs to back down from this cliff.
That's what happens when he stays awake that long without his nap.
I think there is probably a great deal of truth in this observation; so I would favor McDaniel in the runoff election.
In many states, it would probably be a safer bet to go with the establishment conservative, in order to win the necessary swing votes. (After all, merely winning a primary is a phyrric victory if one cannot win the general election.) However, Mississippi is a deep red state; so I doubt that the Democratic challenger will prevail, in November, against either Cochran or McDaniel.
Rabid RATS will go out and vote for Thad. And they will bus in their inner city and plantation voters. I say this based on one friend who pushed voting for Thad in the last few weeks. He and his liberal private school supporting pals will go all out now. They don't have anything else to do.
Yes....I realize that MS is an open primary and that Democrat thugs will urge their vermin voters to support Cochran in the run-off......but supporting and voting for Cochran does the Democrat low life no good whatsoever, other then possibly besting a conservative. If Cochran wins the run-off , he will suely hold the Senate seat for the Pubbies.....even though he is "Turncoat" Obamabot RINO!!!
Bottom line.....Chris McDaniel must go after every single conservative vote at a 24/7 "breakneck" pace!!! It is as simple as that. And......the Republican leadership better give McDamiel "all' the support he will need!!! If Cochran had half a brain.....he would concede to McDaniel and withdraw from the race today!!! MS McDaniel voters....turn out in record numbers and get everyone you know to go along with you!!! A massive win by Chris McDaniel can change the course of the American Republic to a positive outcome!!!
I wouldn't put it past that old coot Cochran to go all bitter and refuse to endorse McDaniel in the general.
"Tea Party Forces A Runoff in Mississippi: McDaniel and Cochran fail to win a majority"
Headline wrong and misleading. The third candidate in the race forced the runoff as he got more votes than the differnce of the top wo candidates.

The viola d'amore part is not tagged for now; Grove does not have a complete list and instrumentation for Heinichen, and RISM does not list this particular sonata. The manuscript, which probably is a copy by Pisendel, does not list viola d'amore either. A tag including viola d'amore can be added it is confirmed that the original was for that, or used it as an option.
The manuscript by Pisendel contains a part for violin and a part for viola d'amore. See link to RISM. TW.

In the recent days there was lots of discussion about the versioning of the Ubuntu UI Toolkit. Finally we thought that the topic deserves a dedicated blog post to clarify the situation and resolve some misunderstandings.
Let's start with the background story.
The UITK releases, before we opened the 1.3 branch for development, was mainly targeting touch devices and their main objective was to offer more or less a complete API set for mobile application development. The versions prior to 1.3 were working on the desktop too, but they were clearly suboptimal for those use cases because for example they were missing mouse and keyboard capabilities
With the 1.3 development branch we set on a single goal. With this release the UITK will offer a feature complete API set for devices of all form factors with all kinds of capabilities. It means that applications built for the 1.3 UITK will work on a touchscreen device with a small display just as on a large screen with mouse and keyboard. It was a very ambitious plan, but absolutely realistic.
We have decided that we follow the "release early and release often" principle so developers will have time to adapt their applications to the new APIs. At the same time we promised that whatever API we release will be supported for at least one minor revision and we will follow a strict and developer friendly deprecation process if needed.
It means that even if the source code of the 1.3 UITK is not frozen, all APIs released in it are stable and safe to use.
So far we did keep our promise. There was not a single application in the store or in the archive that suffered functional regression due to an intentional API break in the UITK. True, UITK has bugs. True, one can argue about if changing the color palette classifies to be an API change or not. Not to mention the awkward situation when an application takes advantage of a bug in the UITK and loses that advantage when the bug gets fixed. Also we have seen broken applications because they were using private APIs and properties.
It is absolutely true that using a frozen API set is the safest for application developers. No doubt about it and I do hear the opinions that some developers wish to see a fully frozen 1.3 UITK. We do wish the same.
Now, let us visit this idea and check a bit around. I do promise that folding out the big picture will help everyoneunderstand why the UITK is developed in the way it is.
So, let us say we freeze the 1.3 UITK today. In that case we need to open the 1.4 branch plus we would certainly open a Labs space. Before going any further let me list what kind of changes we do in the UITK codebase:
Critical bug fixes. Right, I am sure that nobody argues the fact that once we found or reported a critical bug we have to push a fix to the supported releases as soon as possible. At this very moment we have a good number of open bug reports. About 80% of the merged branches and patches to the UITK code are bug fixes. With every OTA release we push out 10-20 critical bug fixes. It means that each bugfix needs to target both the frozen and the development branch, plus the labs space. From the point of bug fixes it is important that the supported branches of the UITK do not diverge too much. One may say 1.3 should be frozen, so no bug fixes should go there, eventually some showstoppers. However we have way too many of those fixes which we must land in 1.3 as well. Fragmenting the UITK and so the platform at this early stage might fire back later.
Feature gaps for convergence. As we have stated many times, the convergence features are not yet completely implemented in the UITK. We do wish they were, but sadly they are not. It means that almost every day we push something to the UITK codebase that makes that feature gap smaller. In case we freeze the 1.3 UITK we can push these convergence features only to the 1.4 and the labs space. That would mean that all core applications would need to migrate to the 1.4 UITK because they are the primary consumers of the convergence feature.
UITK uses dynamic styling of components. The styles are loaded from a specified theme matching the version of the UITK module the component is imported from. This is necessary because themes implement UX including behavior and looks, so just like functions in the API developers may rely on theming when designing their apps, or even adding custom components. We are using the property cache to detect the version of the module. As we are not planning any API additions to StyledItem, moving to 1.4 would require us to declare a dummy property just to be able to detect that the component is imported from the 1.4 version. Introducing a property just to be able to differentiate doesn't sound really professional. Yes, the version could be set in the component itself, but that would immediately break the symlink idea (second time) and beside that, noone guarantees that the version will be set prior to the style document name, so a dual-style loading can be eliminated. We had this API in the first version of the sub-theming, but was removed, and perhaps it was the only API break we did in 1.3 so far.
Unit tests are also affected. They need to be duplicated at the least when components in 1.4 diverge in behavior and features - but even bugs in superclass A altered in 1.4 may affect component B which is not altered and still fail test cases. On the other hand Autopilot is not so flexible. While the CPOs (Custom Proxy Objects, the classes that represent QML components in Python test cases) basically do not care about the import versions, they do have problems with the API differences, and it is not so easy doing differentiation for the same component to detect which API can be used in what context. We've been discussing to try to move as many tests as we can to QTest (unit tests), however there are still tons of apps using Autopilot, and we have to provide and maintain CPOs for those.
The upcoming Labs space will hold the components and APIs that we do not promise to be stable and are subject to change even in one minor version. We need this space to experiment with features and ideas that would not be possible in a stable branch.
If we look at this picture we will see immediately that the further we go with closing the feature gaps the more we diverge from the codebase of the frozen 1.3. Note that code change does not mean API change! We are committed to stable APIs not to stable code. Freezing code is a luxurious privilege of very mature products. Implementing new features and fixing critical bugs in two different branches would mean that we need to fork the UITK. And that itself would bring issues which have not been seen by many. A good example for this is the recently discovered incompatibility issue between the old style header and the refactored (to be implemented in C++) AdaptivePageLayout. To gain the performance improvements in 1.3 it's necessary to change the component completely. Furthermore if only 1.4 started off with a rewritten AdaptivePageLayout fixing bugs would consume considerable time in two entirely different codebases at that point.
It is important to note that the UITK comes in a single package in a single library. Forking the UITK package is clearly not an option. The applications do not have control over their dependencies. Also creating multiple libraries for different versions is not an option either. Providing the UITK in a single plugin has some consequences. Many of the developers asked why there are no more frequent minor version bumps. The answer is simple. As long as all the versions come in a single plugin, each and every minor release will increase the memory consumption of the UITK. Bumping the UITK version 3-4 times a year would end up in a 10-12 times bigger memory footprint in just two years. We do not want that. And most probably when we "release" 1.4, we will need features from Qt 5.6, which means we need to bump imports in all our QML documents to 2.6. So it is a nice theory but it is not a working one.
To summarize the whole story, we are where we are for good reason. The way the UITK is versioned, packaged and provided to the application developers is not accidental. At the same time we do admit that after measuring the costs and benefits of different paths, we had to make compromises. The present so called rolling 1.3 release is safe to use, the APIs provided by the UITK are all stable and supported. But as it is still evolving and improving it is a good idea to follow the news and announcements of the SDK developer team. We are available pretty much 24/7 on the #ubuntu-app-devel Freenode channel, on email@example.com mailing list, on Telegram and on all commonly used public platforms. We are happy to listen to you and answer your questions.

Vt. farmer charged in drug ringThe Associated Press | June 30,2013BURLINGTON A Vermont farmer has been charged in a large marijuana trafficking ring involving drugs that federal officials believe were smuggled across the U.S.-Canadian border.
Kirt Westcom of East Fairfield pleaded not guilty late last week to conspiring to distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana.
Westcom, who owns a 140-acre farm, is the fourth man to be charged in the case.
Jeffrey A. Donna, who owns T.J.s Country Store in Montgomery; Roy L. McAllister II, vice president of McAllister Fuels Inc. of Richford; and Jesse J. Soule, a Montgomery dairy farmer, pleaded not guilty on May 29 to marijuana trafficking conspiracy charges.
McAllister and Donna would often drop off marijuana at Westcoms property between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., a confidential informant told authorities, according to a police affidavit.
Westcom allegedly often hid the pot in hay bales in his barn, the affidavit said.
When the three other suspects were arraigned last month, federal drug agents searched Westcoms home and found evidence of marijuana and a marijuana grow room, court records show.
Law enforcement inquired about his source of supply, and Westcom suggested that he wanted to talk to a lawyer, the affidavit said.
Westcom was arrested on Thursday, the Burlington Free Press reported.

Update: Apple "stunned" at RealNetworks' hacker tactics
RealNetworks has responded to Apple's statement (below) saying "consumers, and not Apple, should be the ones choosing what music goes on their iPod. Apple has suggested that new laws such as the DMCA are relevant to this dispute. In fact, the DMCA is not designed to prevent the creation of new methods of locking content and explicitly allows the creation of interoperable software. We remain fully committed to Harmony and to giving millions of consumers who own portable music devices, including the Apple iPod, choice and compatibility.
Harmony follows in a well-established tradition of fully legal, independently developed paths to achieve compatibility. There is ample and clear precedent for this activity, for instance the first IBM compatible PCs from Compaq. Harmony creates a way to lock content from Real's music store in a way that is compatible with the iPod, Windows Media DRM devices, and Helix DRM devices. Harmony technology does not remove or disable any digital rights management system."
Apple today released a statement in response to RealNetworks' recent announcement that they had created a method to offer iPod-compatible song downloads through its new Harmony software. "We are stunned that RealNetworks has adopted the tactics and ethics of a hacker to break into the iPod, and we are investigating the implications of their actions under the DMCA and other laws. We strongly caution Real and their customers that when we update our iPod software from time to time it is highly likely that Real's Harmony technology will cease to work with current and future iPods."

I would like to start a membership site that has event listings, classifieds, and forums, etc. I am still debating on selling tickets to events, similar to Eventbrite on my site. I have read a lot about protecting yourself. I've already went through all the steps to get a FEIN, state and local business registrations and permits. I did not set up as an LLC, but will probably change over with this lastest online venture.
My biggest concern now is trying to find Cyber Liability Insurance. Can anyone recommend a low cost but quality insurance? I've found the Hartford has Cyber Liability but its hard doing a google search and get any well know insurance companies.
Btw, I do not plan on processing credit card payments from my site. I will be using PayPal. I will have all kinds of legal terms and policies listed. But hackers scare me and so do people who use classifieds and listing services to do illegal activities.

Hi Mike,
I really like this plugin and so does my current client! We both think it's way cool.
I noticed a small issue which occurs when changing to a different map in the drop-down menu. Initially, the window size is perfect for the default map, but when I change to a different map, the window is resized into a tall narrow column. I have to manually resize the window afterwards to see the new map.
Would it be possible to automatically resize the window to the proper size when changing to a different map?
Thanks for all your hard work in this plugin!

TV Ratings: Whitney Houston, Adele send Grammy numbers soaring on Sunday
Only ABC's 'Once Upon a Time' withstands the onslaught
The tragic passing of Whitney Houston and popular success of the unstoppable Adele sent ratings for Sunday night's Grammys telecast soaring for CBS, averaging roughly 39 million viewers in early returns, making it possibly the second most-watched Grammys in history.
Not surprisingly, CBS dominated Sunday night in all measures, though with these numbers you'll have to keep in mind that while the Grammys aired live for much of the country, CBS continued the antiquated tradition of airing them on three-hour delay on the West Coast, which makes all figures very subject to change.
Among adults 18-49, CBS averaged an 11.5 rating, crushing the competition in the key demographic. ABC was a distant second with a 1.9 rating, followed by FOX's 1.7 rating and the 1.5 rating for NBC.
Overall, CBS averaged an estimated 34.51 million viewers and a 19.1 rating.26 share. ABC was pretty far back in second with a 3.8/6 and 6.35 million viewers, beating NBC's 3.3/5 and 5.25 million viewers. FOX averaged 3.55 million viewers and a 2.1/3 for the night.
7 p.m. - The primetime sweep for CBS began in the 7 p.m. hour with 14.55 million viewers and a 2.9 rating among adults 18-49 for "60 Minutes." NBC's "Dateline" averaged 8.35 million viewers and a 2.0 key demo rating for second. ABC's "America's Funniest Home Videos" tied for second in the key demo and averaged 7.76 million viewers for a close third. FOX was fourth with a "Bob's Burgers" repeat (1.91 million viewers and a 0.7 key demo) and a new "The Cleveland Show" (2.73 million viewers and a 1.2 key demo).
8 p.m. - The start of the 54th Annual Grammy Awards averaged 40.68 million viewers and a 13.8 rating among adults 18-49. ABC's "Once Upon a Time" held up impressively against the Grammys onslaught, still averaging a 3.0 key demo rating and a respectable 8.635 million viewers. NBC was third overall with 5.195 million viewers and fourth in the key demo with a 1.2 rating. FOX was fourth overall and third in the key demo with new episodes of "The Simpsons" (4.33 million and a 2.0 key demo) and "Napoleon Dynamite" (3.81 million and a 1.7 key demo rating).
9 p.m. - The Grammys improved to 42.64 million viewers and a 14.9 rating among adults 18-49 in their second hour for CBS. ABC's "Desperate Housewives" drew only 6.35 million viewers for second overall and finished third with a 1.8 key demo rating. FOX was third with "Family Guy" (4.99 million viewers and a 2.5 key demo) and "American Dad" (3.54 million and a 1.7 key demo rating). On NBC, "Fear Factor" drew only 3.32 million viewers and a 1.3 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - CBS closed primetime in first with 40.17 million viewers and a 14.6 rating among adults 18-49 for the Grammys. NBC's "Fear Factor" averaged 4.14 million viewers and a 1.6 key demo rating. On ABC, a new episode of "Pan Am" drew 2.66 million viewers and a 0.7 key demo rating.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

I think here we have confusion about what "scheduler" means. With native OS threads - we do not have control over "scheduler" - the OS does the scheduling and we cannot control it. We do not know which thread will run next, when we are going to be preempted, etc. That's the whole point to have sync primitives. > > Of course it is possible to provide something like > > without-other-threads-running but this is the worst kind of > > synchronization possible.

Basically all threads are asked to "suspend" themselves (by waiting on a mutex). Threads should acknowledge this suspend request. They check for suspend request at certain points - heap allocation, explicit points (and are considered to have ack-ed it while they are in possibly blocking system calls. upon return from these system calls - they may wait more for resume). > > > I notice in particular that it contains something called > > > as-atomic-operation, which I gather (let me know if I'm wrong about > > > this) has the semantics described above -- nothing else can be going > > > on at the same time. > > > > Please check also the comments in: > > http://gbbopen.org/svn/GBBopen/trunk/source/tools/portable-threads.lisp > > about ClozureCL and as-atomic-operation (CCL also uses native OS threads). > > I don't understand this.

My point is that as-atomic-operation in portable-threads for native OS threading implementation as ClozureCL is implemented via simple lock (mutex), since without-interrupts from CCL does not have anything to do with thread-scheduling. And there is confusion here about what atomic is. By atomic I understand quite low-level simple operation as described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_operation Atomic operation are quite helpful in implementing some lock-free data structures. Can you explain what you mean by atomic operation?

So they tack on another late fee 1 week after that since I refused to pay the full amount and just made a payment of $20 which was my normal amount. I called again, got an Indian guy, so I figured I should just ask for a manager, lol, big mistake.
I got an English or Australian guy who was such a jerk. He refused to do anything about it. I told him either they take off the late fees and I continue to pay my normal amount or I pay nothing at all and they can mess my credit all they want since it's messed up enough as it is. So he just laughed and said "Sorry to hear that sir, but there's nothing I can do.
So, BEWARE this company and their online bill-pay system which is bugged and doesn't register your payments on time. I even went through my bank statements and the payments were taking out of my account. I wish this company would just die, I'm freakin burning with such hatred for this company as a result of their incompetence, poor customer service and their failure to do anything about it. This company has caused me so much stress and during Christmas time too!

The Israeli Embassy in Berlin said it is a European tradition to accuse the Jews of ritual murder before the Passover festival.

In a key defeat for NGO "Lawfare", the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on Tuesday decided that it does not have jurisdiction to begin an investigation over cases related to the 2008-09 Gaza War because "Palestine" is not a state.

It's important to separate the failure of elite French police units to apprehend murderer Muhammad Merah a week ago, from our estimate of the ability of French security forces to monitor radical Islamists within their borders. It turns out that France, which has been hit by terrorist attacks since the Algerian war of the 1950s, could teach the US a thing or two about controlling Arab terrorism.

HEALTH Summer is coming on fast, so it's time to plan how you will keep your dog safe and healthy through the lazy, carefree, warm days.
NUTRITION With the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.

New Zealand opener Peter Fulton scored an unbeaten century as England captain Alastair Cook was left to rue his decision to field on day one of the third and final Test match in Auckland.
Cook's gamble of bowling first on the drop-in pitch at Eden Park backfired horribly as New Zealand ended the first day with 250 on the board for a solitary wicket – that of opener Hamish Rutherford for 37 – after an unbeaten second-wicket partnership of 171 runs.
Fulton exploited a dead, flat track perfectly as he recorded his maiden Test century at the age of 34 in the final session to become the second oldest player to do so this millennium after India spinner Anil Kumble, ending the day on 124 not out and still in complete control.
Number three Kane Williamson also looked virtually untroubled throughout and was left unbeaten at the close of play on 83 as England's bowlers battled despondently through a chastening day in front of a sparse crowd at the temporarily converted rugby ground.
The tourists made just one enforced change for the series decider after two rain-affected draws in Dunedin and Wellington, with Jonny Bairstow selected to come in and replace Kevin Pietersen, who was sidelined with a knee injury.
The Black Caps persevered with the same team, resisting the temptation to hand Doug Bracewell a berth after his recovery from a gashed foot, and Brendon McCullum's side benefited greatly from losing the toss on another desperately dull surface.
England could comfortably count their clear-cut opportunities with the ball on a single hand: the centurion Fulton edged over third slip off a frustrated James Anderson to go from 12 to 16, but the chances were few and fleeting.
The solitary wicket the tourists claimed was that of Rutherford, who got himself out with a reckless attempted cut which saw him edge behind to Cook at first slip off a surprised Steven Finn. But that was as good as it got for the beleaguered tourists.
It was a dispirited England side that battled through the evening session as Fulton and Williamson continued to steadily accumulate runs without offering chances to a fielding team that were increasingly devoid of ideas.
It is a shame that a draw is already being highlighted as the most likely result after a first day that saw the bat dominate the ball in another one-sided contest, and it would be the third successive stalemate in the series if neither side is able to force a result on a lifeless wicket.
Cook was left shaking his head as he left the field with his players at the end of an exhausting day in the Auckland sunshine, and he will need to somehow inspire his players ahead of day two as they require quick wickets to arrest their slump.
But the day belonged to the veteran opener Fulton, who left the ground to a deserved standing ovation after an innings that he will never forget and which has seen his side assume a strong position in a match England are desperate to win with the series at stake.
