47 Skidoo
Uh-oh, Romney's lost the election again.
"What is 47?" asks the FAQ page at the website of the 47 Society. Answer: "In short, 47 appears to be the quintessential random number of the universe. In other words, when a number appears randomly, more often than not, that number is 47."
Barack Obama was 47 when he was elected president, and Mitt Romney was born in 1947. Eerie, isn't it?
Anyway, if you believe the mainstream media, Romney has lost the election again. That's the third time in as many weeks, notwithstanding that the election won't actually happen until 47 days after the day after tomorrow. Last week it was his statement criticizing the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, and we forget what it was the week before. This week's fatal kerfuffle is all about--you guessed it--the number 47.
Here's what Romney said at a private May fund-raiser, which Mother Jones has just gotten around to reporting: "There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. . . . These are people who pay no income tax."
The Daily Caller reports that the video was found online and provided to Mother Jones by James Earl Carter IV, whose grandfather had a 47% approval rating in a 2011 poll. The young Carter is described as "out of work"; we're glad he was able to find something to do in this rotten economy.
As to Romney's comment itself, it is a highly flawed bit of political analysis. He is making an apples-and-oranges comparison between the percentage of voters who will cast ballots for the Democrat "no matter what" and the percentage of households that have no income-tax liability. The latter is in fact currently about 47%. The former is impossible to determine with precision, but 47% is a plausible guess, if perhaps a tad high.
In truth, while there is no doubt significant overlap between the Democratic base vote and the voters in the income-tax-nonpaying 47% of households, the Democratic base includes many voters who do pay income taxes: well-heeled social liberals, middle-class and affluent blacks and government employees, to name three obvious demographics that lean heavily donkward. If Obama could count on the votes of every adult citizen in the Romney-identified 47% of households, the election really would be over already.
But Romney's description of the 47% as consisting of--our paraphrase here--a bunch of freeloaders is inaccurate. Forbes's Janet Novack reports that in 2011 more than 60% of such households paid federal payroll taxes. That means that somebody in the household was working for at least part of the year, but the household income was either not high enough to be subject to the income tax or offset by the Earned Income Tax Credit and similar subsidies.
Of households that paid neither income nor payroll taxes, more than half "were headed by a senior–in other words, by someone who paid payroll taxes and likely some income taxes too, in the past." Some additional fraction presumably consisted of the unemployed, of businessmen or investors who showed a loss for the year, and of affluent earners who donated most of the year's income to charity.
So the actual proportion of Americans who fit Romney's description--"who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled"--is considerably less than 47%.
Romney's comment has been compared with Obama's infamous 2008 remark, also at a private meeting with donors, about Pennsylvania voters who get bitter and cling to guns and religion. To our mind the difference is that those people, traditionally Democratic voters, could easily tell that Obama was referring to them. Most of the 47% will not see themselves in Romney's description--and those who do, would probably not have considered voting for him anyway.
Which isn't to say that this may not hurt Romney. For one thing, the Obama campaign has already jumped on it as a base-arouser: "You won't believe this" was the subject line on an email last night from campaign manager Jim Messina: "The man who spoke these words--who demonstrates such disgust and disdain for half of our fellow Americans--is the other side's choice for president of the United States."
And it does reflect a certain intellectual incoherence that has characterized the Romney campaign. Reader Steve Thompson puts it well: "I'd maintain that what are being reported as unfortunate blunders are actually points that Romney could adopt and run with, pulling American voters along with him. But he backs off, because he lacks an ideology to bring continuity and confidence. He's still a technocrat, moving from one consulting gig to another."
Is College Worth the Money?
The New York Times's Catherine Rampell says yes, citing a study finding the average return on investment for a bachelor's degree is over 15%, higher than stocks, bonds or real estate.
But we're not so sure. The study is based on "the average earnings of a college graduate compared to the average person with only a high-school diploma"--a correlation that leaves some question as to causation. How much of that earnings differential results from the value added by the college degree, and how much from the college graduates' superior innate intelligence?
Also, averaging out all bachelor's degrees masks the possibility that some may be considerably more lucrative than others. We'd bet, for instance, that an engineering graduate gets a lot more bang for his buck than someone who majored in feminist basket weaving.
Lucky 13
Yesterday we discussed the possibility that media presidential polls are systematically overestimating the number of Democrats in the electorate relative to Republicans. Breitbart.com's Mike Flynn finds an especially glaring example:
Friday's CBS/New York Times poll . . . uses a D+13 sample of registered voters. This is absurd.
In 2008, an historic election wave for Democrats, the electorate was D+7. In 2004, when George W. Bush won reelection, the electorate was evenly split. In other words, D+0. . . .
CBS does apply a Likely Voter screen to the head-to-head match up. The LV sample is D+6, similar to the make up of the 08 election. In that, Obama leads Romney by just 3 points, 49-46. In the RV sample, which more than doubles the proportion of Democrats to D+13, Obama leads by 8 points, 51-43. See the simple relationship there?
Flynn insists that "given the well-noted enthusiasm edge for Republicans this year, the electorate is going to be far closer to the 2004 model than 2008." Let's wait and see about that. But the Rasmussen poll of party identification had it as R+4.3 in August, up from R+0.9 in July. If Romney pulls off a victory, this will explain why so few saw it coming.
Next He'll Claim He's Too Big to Jail
An Ohio murderer is trying to escape execution on grounds of obesity, reports the Columbus Dispatch:
Ronald Post, who shot and killed a hotel clerk in northern Ohio almost 30 years ago, said his weight, vein access, scar tissue and other medical problems raise the likelihood his executioners would encounter severe problems. He's also so big that the execution gurney might not hold him, lawyers for Post said in federal court papers filed Friday.
"Indeed, given his unique physical and medical condition there is a substantial risk that any attempt to execute him will result in serious physical and psychological pain to him, as well as an execution involving a torturous and lingering death," the filing said.
And here we thought obesity led to early death.

Old Vulcan Proverb
When people have harsh disagreements, Harvard law prof Cass Sunstein writes in a New York Times op-ed, an effort to "provide balanced information to people of all sides" can actually polarize them even more. It turns out people have a bias toward information that confirms their preconceived point of view. Who knew?
But never fear, there is a solution, according to Sunstein, who finally gets to it at the end of his 800 words:
Our initial convictions are more apt to be shaken if it's not easy to dismiss the source as biased, confused, self-interested or simply mistaken. . . .
It follows that turncoats, real or apparent, can be immensely persuasive. If civil rights leaders oppose affirmative action, or if well-known climate change skeptics say that they were wrong, people are more likely to change their views.
Here, then, is a lesson for all those who provide information. What matters most may be not what is said, but who, exactly, is saying it.
Which is an awfully long-winded way of saying only Nixon can go to China.

A 22-year-old Jackson man was shot and sent to the hospital this afternoon after a confrontation with two men.
Police responded to the scene about 2:30 p.m. at Shahan Apartments, off Blackstone Street and Moorman Drive.
The victim told police he did not know the two suspects or why they started arguing with him, said Lt. Elmer Hitt of the Jackson Police Department.
One of the suspects showed a gun and shot the victim in the back area, Hitt said.
The victim, who police believe did not live at the apartment complex, was sent to Allegiance Health with non-life threatening injuries.
Police have not yet located the suspects.

The 50-70 squad dropped its second game in World Series play against Collier Township, Pennsylvania, by a 4-3 margin. That loss eliminated Georgetown from double-elimination play in Livermore, California.
"I don't think we ever led in this game," Georgetown manager Nathan Chylek said. "We had guys at first and second with one out in the bottom of the seventh, but we grounded into a double play."
Collier Township scored twice to take a 4-2 lead in the top of the third, this after both teams scored two runs each in the first inning.
Carter Chylek had three hits and a walk and scored one run, and Preston Fawcett pitched 5 2/3 innings with six strikeouts. Ian Ross drove in two runs.
Despite the bad ending, Nathan Chylek enjoyed the entire experience of traveling out to California for a World Series. The team will stay there through Tuesday and take part in all other ceremonies revolving around the tournament.
"It's an experience I'll never forget," Nathan said. "Playing in front of 3,100 people is an experience these kids have never had before. The whole experience will make them better baseball players. Livermore (just outside of San Francisco) is so great for the hospitality, and we couldn't ask for anything more."

The 26-City DADT Repeal Tour: Your Chance to Meet America's Hottest Discharged Gays
[flv:http://flash.video.worldnow.com/klkn/KLKN_2903201021580230994_7085048B.flv http://queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com/wp/docs/2010/03/unldadt1.jpg 650 400]
Oh, we found something the Human Rights Campaign is doing! Teaming up with Alex Nicholson's Servicemembers United, HRC's "Repeal DADT Now" campaign is on a Voices of Honor tour, which at this point feels like Cher's final Final tour, 'cause hasn't this been going on forever? (To be fair, Voices of Honor has been going only since 2005, and there have been just three of them.) The first stop, of 26, was the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and HRC's supreme defender Jarrod Chlapowski was there!
Okay, for all our shit about hactivism, taking these messages on tour is actually pretty crucial. And while audience members may already be on board with repealing DADT, these events deliver the crucial arguments any repeal supporter needs, to be able convince just one other person to call her legislator and pass it on.
But couldn't there at least be a smoke machine or a strobe light or two?
Dan and Jarrod and me should make a video. It would be AWESOME!
This might be more helpful if there was actually a link so we can see where it's touring? Kinda hard to support it when I can't find a date/time local to me.
@DR: AGREE. I live near 3 large military bases in the Heartland (Oklahoma) and I would love to get the word out about these tours.
Queerty's lame joke comparing this to Cher's farewells probably led people to believe that Voices of Honor is a lecture tour. Based on a quick examination of the HRC pages for it, I can tell you it's not. The tour is about putting a face on DADT by having discharged service men and women travel the country doing press conferences and similar events.
@DR…ask and you shall receive….http://goqnotes.com/6139/national-dadt-repeal-tour-announced/
Also check out SU's website….servicemembersunited.org. It's a gay advocacy group working to repeal DADT.
Why does Queerty makes this sounds like the tour of some reality show's go-go boys?

News Releases
/ It's Not Too Late to Apply for 2013 NRCS Programs
Loading Tree...
Wade Biddix
Richmond, March 15, 2013 – State Conservationist Jack Bricker announced today that the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service in Virginia is adding two new signup periods for agricultural producers interested in improving the health and productivity of their land this year. The extra cutoff dates for 2013 Environmental Quality Incentives Program funding selections are April 19 and May 17, 2013.
"The additional funds we received for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Initiative translate into more opportunities for producers in and out of the Bay watershed," said Bricker. "It only seemed fitting to keep the window of opportunity open by extending our EQIP signups to coincide with the batching periods for CBWI."
Eligible producers operating in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed can sign up for specific practices under the CBWI. Technical and financial assistance is available for animal waste, cropland and pastureland practices to reduce nutrient and sediment runoff and improve Bay water quality.
All Virginia farmers can apply to install soil health practices such as cover crops, crop rotation, nutrient management, and rotational grazing. They can also receive funding for wildlife practices, seasonal high tunnels, aquaculture, and organic farming techniques. Payment options are available for farmers interested in developing conservation activity plans, which can help producers better manage animal waste, grazing lands, fish and wildlife habitat, pollinator habitat, and energy consumption.
Farmers can sign up for conservation programs throughout the year. If you are interested in Farm Bill programs, contact your local NRCS office to identify and plan the conservation measures you would like to implement on your land. The NRCS Conservationist can help you develop a plan, identify recommended practices, and pursue funding through one of the many Farm Bill program options available.
USDA service center locations are listed online at http://offices.usda.gov or in the phone book under Federal Government, U.S. Department of Agriculture. General program information is available on the NRCS Virginia website at www.va.nrcs.usda.gov.

Give a Gift Membership
With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
Rachel McAdams and Ben Affleck at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve near Pawhuska, OK in To The Wonder, a Magnolia Pictures release.
"Two hooves up! For being free-roaming wild animals, these charismatic mega fauna really know how to work the camera," said Bob Hamilton, Tallgrass Prairie Preserve Director.
The To The Wonder cast and crew spent several days at the preserve in November 2010 shooting different scenes on the prairie and with the bison.
"We really lucked out with the timing of everything. We had just wrapped up our annual Bison Roundup and all 2,100 bison were in a 1,500-acre holding pasture when the film crew called to shoot," said Hamilton. "Only once a year are the bison all together like that in a relatively small area. The rest of the year, they roam free on 24,000 acres."
The preserve staff worked with the cast and crew to position the bison by sprinkling range cubes on the ground and using a siren to call them in. The bison associate the siren with the range cubes which they get once a year during the roundup as a treat to lure them in to the corrals.
"The cast and crew were captivated by the bison. We really enjoyed getting to share our work with them and vice versa. It was an educational experience for us all," said Hamilton.
This may be the Tallgrass bison herd's first appearance on the big screen, but it isn't their first rodeo. You may have seen them in television shows such as National Geographic Explorer: Fire and Thunder and PBS's Scientific American Frontiers with Alan Alda.
Oklahoma's newest and furriest celebrities can be seen on the big screen at one of the following upcoming showings:
4/12/13 - Bartlesville, OK: Bartlesville Community Center
4/26/13 - Tulsa, OK: Circle Cinema
5/09/13 - Oklahoma City, OK: Oklahoma City Museum of Art
Although the bison are not available to sign autographs, the public can capture photos of the bison in person at the preserve. Visit nature.org/oklahoma for directions and important rules for visiting the preserve such as "stay in your car".

|Learn Pysanky: Basics for beginners, tutorials, featured designs and links.
|Buy a pysanky-making kit from Ukranian Egg-Cessories or Ukranian Gift Shop.
|Pysanky photo slide show
Forget lavender, floppy-eared bunnies hopping through quaint pastoral scenes. The original Easter eggs were talismans dyed in baths made from berries and bark and portrayed symbols of eternal life, bountiful harvests, gods and goddesses.
In Ukraine, the decorated keepsakes are called pysanky (PI-sahn-kee). The word is derived from pysaty (pe-SA-tay) meaning "to write," as in to "write" symbols on the egg. Intricate, multicolored, geometric designs are created as wax, dye and fire play a game of hide-and seek on an eggshell.
Making pysanky was originally part of springtime festivities celebrating the return of warm weather, new life and fertility. The cultural and religious objects were thought to bring good luck and were often traded.
The Christianizing of Slavic countries gave pysanky symbols new meanings. Pictographs with pagan significance, such as triangles, harvested grapes and symbols representing the sun god, were adapted to tell the story of the church, the Holy Trinity and Christ's resurrection from the dead.
Keep reading for instructions on making your own Old World Easter eggs.
Here are some tips, culled from the Ukrainian Museum in New York, for creating your own Old World Easter eggs.
1. Prepare your materials
Soak a raw egg in highly diluted vinegar to clean the eggshell's surface. Create dye baths. The best colors to use are yellow, orange, red and black; other colors may intermix. Get some beeswax, a candle and a kistka (the stylus for the wax), available in online craft shops. You'll also need a pencil, some paper towels, a design idea and some newspaper to protect your work surface.
2. Plan your design
Lightly trace your design onto the dry egg with a pencil. Do not use an eraser to correct mistakes; the rubber will affect the egg's surface.
3. Seal it in wax
Heat your kistka over the candle's flame, then scoop wax into the open end of the kistka and reheat to aid the melting process. Wax will flow through the kistka's point as through a funnel. Apply wax to the bare egg to seal in all parts of your stenciled design that are to remain white. If a blob of melted wax falls onto the egg, creatively work it into the design -- it cannot be corrected.
4. Dye slowly
Place the egg in the dye bath containing the lightest color, yellow. Let the egg sit for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until the desired brightness is achieved. Remove the egg from the dye and gently dab it dry with paper towel. Next, apply wax to seal in all portions of the egg that are to remain yellow. Continue the process from lighter to darker dyes, using the orange and red baths next. Use black last to dye all portions of the eggshell's surface that remain bare.
5. Melt away the wax
Hold your egg sideways against a candle's flame to melt away all of the wax and reveal the colored pattern sealed beneath. Use a paper towel to wipe away the melting wax. Do not place your egg near the tip of the flame or it may scorch the shell. A simple varnish can be used to give the egg a glossy finish.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Coastal Clinical Research is looking for children between the ages of 1 and 8 to test a pediatric vaccine for the H1N1 virus -- commonly referred to as swine flu.
The Mobile-based research group was selected, along with several others across the country, by a pharmaceutical company to test the vaccine in August, said Appie Head, patient recruiter with CCR.
"Without vaccine research trials, there won't be a vaccine on the market," Head said, noting that parents wouldn't be able to have their children immunized against the seasonal flu or other viruses if previous studies hadn't been done.
Compensation for taking part in the local clinical trials varies, Head said. Last year, CCR paid participants between $35 and $100 to take part in four different seasonal flu vaccines.
How much will be paid to those who try the swine flu vaccine had not yet been established, Head said.
The number of confirmed and probable U.S. swine flu cases has surpassed 40,000, with more than 260 deaths reported, according to numbers released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
As of last week, there were 547 confirmed cases of novel H1N1 influenza in Alabama, according to the state Department of Public Health. Children 18 or younger account for 70 percent of the confirmed cases in Alabama with a known age.

A new travelling exhibition highlighting the Mi'kmaq history of Prince Edward Island is set to open at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery on Aug. 15.
The exhibition, titled "Ni'n na L'nu," brings a broad look at the Mi'kmaw history, from the most ancient archaeological record to today.
Five wigwam-inspired structures have been set up, showcasing evocative images and texts. Inside each wigwam is an audio environment aimed at drawing viewers into the world of Epekwitk's Mi'kmaw Elders through stories and music. Also featured are interactive exhibits with original and reproduction artifacts.
The show was developed by the Mi'kMaq Confederacy of P.E.I. through extensive research, input from elders and the guidance of an advisory committee. Funding and support also come from the Department of Canadian Heritage, Parks Canada and the Government of P.E.I.
A companion book, also entitled "Ni'n na L'nu: The Mi'kmaq of Prince Edward," will also be released this month. It is co-authored by Francis and A.J.B. Johnston and published by the Acorn Press.
The opening will get underway at 6 p.m. and run through to December 22.
In 2014, the exhibition will be featured at the Canadian Museum of Civilization and at the Greenwich Interpretation Centre at P.E.I. National Park, and has garnered interest in touring museums across North America.

Ryan James Thomas (born 10 June 1984) is an English actor best known for playing the character Jason Grimshaw on ITV's Coronation Street.
Thomas has been nominated for various "Sexiest Male"-type awards.[citation needed] He also won the award for Rear of the Year in 2008.[1]
Besides playing Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street, Thomas has also taken part in many programmes related to the soap opera. In 2012, Thomas took part in a documentary called Corrie Goes to Kenya, with Brooke Vincent who plays Sophie Webster in the soap, Sue Cleaver, who plays his on-screen mother Eileen Grimshaw and Ben Price who plays Nick Tilsley.[2] He said that his time in Kenya changed him as a person and made him realise how much he has in life.

PHILADELPHIA -- San Francisco's in for a treat. The Giants are heading to the World Series.
Juan Uribe hit a tiebreaking homer off Ryan Madson with two outs in the eighth inning and the Giants held off the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Saturday night in Game 6 of the NL championship series.
Surprise star Cody Ross and the pitching-rich Giants reached the World Series for the first time since 2002 and will host the Texas Rangers in Game 1 on Wednesday night. The Giants have never won the championship since moving to San Francisco in 1958.
Slumping Phillies slugger Ryan Howard looked at a called third strike with runners on first and second to end it. San Francisco closer Brian Wilson got the final five outs, finishing off the Phillies' bid to become the first NL team in 66 years to win three straight pennants.
"Right now it's heaven, but it was torture for that final strike," Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff said.
Giants ace Tim Lincecum struggled in the eighth inning, pitching in relief on one day of rest after losing Game 5. But Wilson took over and got Carlos Ruiz to lineout to Huff for an inning-ending double play in the eighth.
Benches cleared in the third inning after Giants starter Jonathan Sanchez hit Chase Utley with a pitch and then yelled at the All-Star second baseman for tossing the ball back toward the mound on his way to first base.
No punches were thrown and nobody was ejected, though Sanchez was pulled. San Francisco used six pitchers, including four lefties.
The Giants are seeking their first World Series title since 1954 when they were still in New York. Led by Barry Bonds, they came within six outs of winning it in Game 6 against the wild-card Angels in 2002 only to lose in the deciding seventh game.
It's been quite a wait for a franchise that moved West in 1958. Even with Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry, the Giants couldn't bring a title to the Bay Area.
Now it's up to the Freak, Kung Fu Panda, Pat the Bat, an eccentric closer with a bushy beard that's dyed black, a journeyman outfielder who aspired to be a rodeo clown, and a rookie named Buster.
Those are nicknames that would make the Say Hey Kid, the Baby Bull and Stretch proud.
The Giants overcame a 2-0 first-inning deficit, tied it in the third and went ahead when Uribe hit an opposite-field drive that barely cleared the right-field wall.
Uribe hit a game-ending sacrifice fly off Roy Oswalt to give the Giants a 3-1 series lead in Game 4.
Roy Halladay outdueled Lincecum in Game 5 to send the series back to Philadelphia, where a frenetic, towel-waving crowd -- the 136th straight sellout at Citizens Bank Park -- wasn't ready for "Red October III" to end.
But the Phillies are going home early after leading the majors in wins for the first time in franchise history.
Wilson came in after Lincecum allowed consecutive, one-out singles. He got Ruiz on a liner to escape the inning.
Wilson had to bat in the ninth after Brad Lidge intentionally walked Buster Posey to load the bases. He took three pitches before bouncing out to first base.
Oswalt pitched six effective innings, masterfully working out of trouble throughout the game because he allowed nine hits and hit a batter. Oswalt gave up two runs -- one earned -- three days after losing Game 4 in relief. The three-time All-Star righty -- the 2005 NLCS MVP with Houston -- threw eight superb innings to earn the win in Game 2.
Sanchez lasted just two-plus innings, allowing two runs and three hits. Sanchez, the Game 2 loser, had dominated the Phillies before this series, not allowing more than four hits in his five previous starts against them.
Rookie Madison Bumgarner, a 21-year-old lefty who started Game 4 and pitched the NLDS clincher Oct. 11 at Atlanta, pitched two scoreless innings in relief on two days' rest.
Bumgarner pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth, retiring Shane Victorino on a bouncer to the mound to end the inning. He escaped trouble in the sixth after Raul Ibanez doubled and was sacrificed to third. Bumgarner struck out pinch-hitter Ben Francisco looking and retired Jimmy Rollins on a fly to center.
The Phillies jumped ahead 2-0 in the first on a RBI double by the slumping Utley and Jayson Werth's sacrifice fly.
Placido Polanco drew a one-out walk and scored on Utley's liner to right. Utley came in hitting .200 (6 for 30) in the postseason. Howard followed with a single. Utley scored on Werth's fly to deep left.

Red Wings assistant GM Jim Nill never really takes a break from looking for the next under-the-radar Red Wings draft pick. As such, he told NHL.com's Mike G. Morreale that the league's decision to have top prospects for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft take part in its "Research, Development and Orientation Camp" offered him an opportunity to observe tweaks to the game while keeping an eye on the future:
August 19, NHL.com: "We're here to really look at new rules, but the added attraction and added bonus to it is it's an opportunity to identify a bunch of the kids coming up for the draft," he said. "You've got to be careful what you do. It's not like we're making final decisions but it gives you a chance to identify them and it's great exposure for them and for us as we get to see new rules."Update, middle of the night: Morreale also noted the presence of two Californian prospects on the Hitchcock team in Shane McColgan and Matthew Nieto, and as the Red Wings have drafted two Californians--Max Nicastro and Mitchell Callahan--that came as no surprise to Nill:
Nill felt the prospects did a fine job considering the circumstances.
"They had to think a little differently, they couldn't ice it or had to be careful on the line change," he admitted. "They're used to taking it easy coming off. It makes them think, but I think it's a great experience. They're young kids and getting exposure to media, crowds, scouts while playing great hockey against great players is a positive experience. You're dealing with the best players for this year's draft -- these kids all have great skill sets."
August 19, NHL.com: "This is kind of the result of that Wayne Gretzky to L.A. trade and we're reaping the rewards from that now," Nill told NHL.com. "It just shows that if you have a good product in an area, even though it might not be a solid hockey market, you can groom hockey players. We're starting to see that in California and Texas."

Holiday Nights in Greenfield Village in Dearborn
Cast off the holidays' modern commercial buzz for a few hours and transport the family to a simpler time at Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, returning to the popular outdoor historic area Dec. 6-28, 2013. Times are 6:30-10 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Touted as a "step into a Christmas card from the past," this annual transformation warms up the chilly evenings with a well-measured mix of nostalgia and good cheer, complete with candlelit pathways, carolers and other entertainers in old-fashioned garb – and Kris Kringle, who suitably sets up shop at the Robert Frost House through Monday, Dec. 23.
Ever tried real chestnuts, hot off a roasting fire? Get a real taste of the well-known Christmas tune, or try other tasty options at seven total food stops. Bonfires also dot the landscape to get you feeling toasty. Rather feel the frosty air? Hop aboard a horse-drawn carriage, Model T or rent some skates to take a spin around a bonafide ice rink.
The Rockwellian scene also features five holiday vignettes prime for family photo ops, as well as non-stop entertainment happening on four stages, featuring heaps of carolers and a fife-and-drum corps – and that doesn't even include the strolling presenters and artisan demos you'll happen upon. Sneak in a bit of shopping, too, at six holiday vendors. It's all topped off by a spellbinding fireworks display and rousing sing-along.
Word to the wise: Be sure to get your tickets in advance! This event does wind up with sold-out dates. The cost is $22/adults ages 13-plus and $16/kids ages 5-12 – kids ages 4 and under get in free. Got a membership to The Henry Ford? Costs are a bit less (check out its website for details).
For further details on the 2013 Holiday Nights event at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, visit Metro Parent's calendar listing.

This is a glimpse of an evacuation. It is raining. The town of Adrianople, in the midst of mud flats, boasts religious towers--minarets. Carts are lined up and jam-packed. Water buffalo and cattle are towing the carts, led by old men and women. The river is running yellow. The Greek cavalry kept the people and animals in line. There is one woman having a child as a young girl holds a blanket over her and cries. This scene is a frightening one.
Another glimpse into the life of a soldier in World War I. Probably this story follows "Indian Camp" because the women giving birth ties the two scenes together. There is a great deal of repetition in this passage. The narrator is attempting to emphasize his overwhelmed feeling by overwhelming the reader with the same description repeated many times. In addition, because the line "Scared sick looking at it" has no subject, this passage also lets the reader join in the feeling and experience the sickness rather than just to be told about it.
Sparknotes' commentary for On the Quai at Smyrna seems to have quite a few historical errors. The commentary states that the narrator is likely talking about the Greek evacuation of Thrace, but the title is On the Quai at Smyrna. Smyrna is a city in modern-day Turkey (now called Izmir). The Christian (mainly Greek and Armenian) part of Smyrna was burned in 1922 after the Turks recaptured the city from the Greeks. Hemingway was actually in Turkey just after the Great Fire to cover the Greco-Turkish War as a correspondent for the Toronto Star.... Read more→

Minot native Amy Leonard recalls now that she was a little intimidated when she began work on her master of business administration at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., in the late 1980s.
Leonard, a 1982 graduate of Bishop Ryan High School and a 1986 graduate of Minot State University, had wondered if she'd be able to compete against classmates who had graduated from far more prestigious school. She was pleasantly surprised when she was able to more than hold her own and learned that Minot State had prepared her well.
Now Leonard is the senior vice president of product development and sourcing at Levi Strauss & Company for Levi's Global Men's. In this role she leads a team of 150 men and women based in San Francisco, Hong Kong, Bangalore and Brussels. She represents the company in public and educational forums speaking on sustainability and has spoken on Capitol Hill to representatives on the impact of climate change on their supply chain. She serves on the board of directors for the Levi Strauss Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the company and in June 2011 was voted one of the top 150 Most Influential Women in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Business Times.

Andrea Johnson/MDN • Amy Leonard was the keynote speaker for the Minot State University graduation.
She recently received an executive certificate in sustainable leadership from the Presidio Graduate School where she focused her studies on the social, cultural, economic and environmental sustainability impacts that the oil and gas boom has on communities in western North Dakota.
"Be curious," was the advice Leonard had for graduates at Minot State University when she gave the keynote address during the MSU graduation on Friday, and that is advice she passes on to her own children and to her employees.
"I didn't know what I was going to be do when I left Minot State," said Leonard, but she wondered if there was more out there and was curious enough to go looking for it.

She responded to an ad in a college newspaper and took a job as a nanny for a family in Connecticut following her graduation from MSU. After her year at Sacred Heart University, she went to work at Revlon, Inc. in Manhattan as a marketing services manager. After three years in the east she drove cross country with a friend in November 1989 and landed in San Francisco, which had just had an earthquake. She began working at Gap, Inc. in production, which set her on the path for a supply chain career. She spent 14 years at the Gap, Inc. in different positions, working her way up to eventually become vice president of sourcing.
At one point she took a position leading the sourcing and production organization at J. Jill in Boston, only to return to San Francisco two years later. Leonard said she and her kids enjoyed the four seasons in Boston, but her San Francisco-born husband missed home.
During her varied career, Leonard said she's learned the importance of having an open mind and not being afraid of making the wrong decision.
"I look at everything I've done as a learning experience," said Leonard, who said she has few regrets.
In her position, she works with people from varied cultures, who speak different languages. Leonard said a smile translates across cultures, though, and she has learned how to work with people from all over the world. Today's graduates will also have to learn how to work with people from all over the world and to learn how to operate outside their comfort zones, she said.
Leonard said she also takes a pro-active approach in her life. One oft-repeated saying is "What did I do to earn my seat today?" She has little patience with complaints unless her employees also present a possible solution to whatever the problem is. That's a message she tries to pass along to her three teenagers, she said, along with the need to be curious and to find something in life they are passionate about doing.
Leonard said she's fortunate that her husband, Michael, is able to be home on a regular basis with their three young teenagers since her own job requires frequent travel. Leonard also tries to get home to Minot a few times a year and has been struck by how much the oil boom and the flood have changed her hometown.
One message she'd like Minot State graduates to take away is that there is nothing they cannot do if they set their minds to it. They can go as far as their curiosity and their passions take them.

I will attach a shovel to the mower, and push it with that
Push at an angle, backdrag, then repush at angle, not that bad...
You aren't going to win this one.
I was just teasing. I'd be out there using anything I could to make a few bucks if I were you.
I never really invested in the snow removal part of my business until 4 years ago when I bought a new plow for my Silverado. Yeah I had a beat up old plow truck, but it was a rusty old 1985 that was originally intended for yard use, dump runs and plowing my own driveway. I got tired of spending hours before every storm putting bandaids on it and evicting the mice. And laying on a tarp under your truck in your driveway during a blizzard isn't much fun either. Plowed half my route with only rear brakes one time. Another time no wipers. Another time no heat/defrost...put a portable propane heater in it but it kept turning off due to the tip safety. And every time I got out and closed the door I left some of it in my customers driveways. The last time I drove it I took it for a ride on my back acreage. My wife took a walk back there some time later and came back with an armfull of pieces/parts that fell off it.
I don't have a plow...
I will put a bard on the front of the mower, and push it with that
A 30 foot driveway is an average sized driveway for snowblowing, you said about hitting the garage, I showed how to plow with out hitting the garage, plow is more efficient
thanks for the input
I have a plow truck and for smaller driveways I'll just snowblow or shovel them instead...did that yesterday in fact. All I would have done with the truck is hardpack it.
Looks good. Love the snapper. Best push mower made. Where about in NJ are you from
Thanks PineyPower! We are in Ocean City.
We like our snappers so much, we are getting s 2nd one.

In celebration of the Walters' 10th Anniversary and made possible through a grant from Cultural Coalition of Washington County, funded by the Oregon Cultural Trust - the Walters Cultural Arts Center, at 527 East Main St., will present the last of four free Saturday matinees. Tears of Joy Puppet Theatre brings a 60-minute performance for all ages on Saturday May 10, at 2 p.m. Seating is on a first come, first served basis and doors open at 1 p.m. For more information call 503-615-3485.
In Malika, Queen of the Cats, skilled puppeteers from Tears of Joy Theater bring to life a traditional Palestinian fairy tale that simultaneously introduces audiences to Middle Eastern folk culture and reinforces the power of giving to others. Adapted from the book "Sitti and the Cats" by Sally Bahous, this show delves playfully into the consequences of both greed and good-deeds when Malika, queen of cats, rewards a good Samaritan for her selflessness but confounds a selfish neighbor who tries to trick her way to fortune. Be prepared for twists and turns in this fun and fantastical tale of magical cats, whirling dervishes—and even pet chickens!
Based in the Portland / Vancouver metro area since 1973, Tears of Joy Theatre is recognized as one of the nation's outstanding puppet theatres, known internationally for its commitment to innovative puppetry and arts education. For more information visit www.tojt.org.
The Walters Cultural Arts Center is conveniently located just two blocks off the MAX Blue line in historic downtown Hillsboro.

Claims of Argentina-Iran deal on Jewish centre bombing case
Hundreds were injured when the AMIA building was bombed
Israel has demanded a response from Argentina's foreign minister to allegations that he agreed to abandon the investigation into Iran's role in the deadly 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre, in return for favourable trade links.
According to an Iranian cable from January quoted in an Argentine newspaper, Argentina's Foreign Minister Hector Timerman offered to halt the ongoing investigation so as to improve "economic relations with Iran".
More than 80 people were killed in the explosion, which was triggered by a car bomb, in the Buenos Aires Jewish-Argentine Mutual Association building.
The terrorist attack reduced the seven-floor building to a pile of rubble and prompted one of the most complex and long-running investigations in the country's history.
In October 2006 the Iranian government and Hizbollah were formally charged over the blast, and the former Iranian president and eight other suspects indicted. Argentina's president at the time, Nestor Kirchner, later publicly denounced Iran for its involvement at the UN.
However in a case marred with allegations of bribery and false testimony, nobody was charged. The Argentine Supreme Court voted to re-open the investigation in 2009.
A spokesman for Israel's Foreign Ministry, Yigal Palmor, called on Mr Timerman to confirm or deny the allegations. He said: "If this is true, then it would be a display of infinite cynicism and a dishonor to the dead."

I'm not really that poor actually, i'm lower middle class..oh, also, .. neither of my parents went to college... Anyway, ironically, i live in a very wealthy town and go to a very good/tough public school in MA. I have appx. a 90 W GPA(w/senior year grades so far... Freshman: 93 Sophomore: 84 Junior:90, Senior:100) I've taken the SAT I's twice and have a 1400(800m 600v).. SAT IIs: Physics 710, WR 640, MIIC 750... I showed my essay(s) to several people(teachers, friends, family etc..).. they all thought it was excellent.. I really put my heart into it and made it as unique and honest as possible(without going overboard, also you may not believe me because i only got a 640 on writing. Although that score was low, i did well on the essay portion and was feeling sick that day because of this medication i was just put on). Anyway, i'm babbling...
I'm fairly involved at my school... i played baseball for 2 years, outdoor track for 2, indoor track for 3.. I'm on the math team, science team, chess team... i was in other clubs like photo club, italian club, etc...i did 50 hours of community service in Russia for this trip i went on during the summer after freshman year, and two summers ago did 180 hours at a summer camp... I don't really have many awards... just two for the AATSP Test(some National Spanish Test) I'm in a few APs this year(Physics, Calc, Economics) i've taken mostly honors classes throughout hs... and thats all i can think of...
So, i'm applying to Cornell(yeah right) Carnegie mellon, Brandeis, Mcgill, Grinnell, Case Western, Rochester Institute of Technology, Pitzer, and U NH(actually i just received an acceptance letter a week ago in the mail along with a generous scholorship which makes me consider going here).. .
What are my chances at these schools? Any feedback will be appreciated
|By defenestrated on Sunday, December 22, 2002 - 03:42 pm: Edit
actually, i am begging for any feedback

okay, your SAT is good and you SAT II's are good also cept for the writing. Im not sure how your GPA scal works and so maybe you could explain that for me? Cornell and Carnegie Mellon might be a reach but the others i would say are definitely in reach. But please explain to me your GPA scale and what each grade gives you.
|By defenestrated on Monday, December 23, 2002 - 11:42 am: Edit
oh, sorry, rather than explain my gpa scale(its kinda confusing) i'll tell you i'm ranked about 38 out of 188 in my class. My GPA seems low but its really not bad because my high school is supposedly pretty tough

Cornell - not very likely, CMU - a bit better but still less than 50%, the rest more likely.

I went to see the Willie Wonka Show at FHS last night, and I loved it!
It was so much fun, from the preshow tunes, to the finale, we (the group I was sitting with) had an amazing time.
We were there to cheer on quite a few friends who were in the show, like the kid playing Charlie, the kid playing Augustus, the kid playing Grandpa Joe, and the kid playing Mr. Salt.
Yes, we favoritize! We cheered, but then again, so did everyone else who was there, for their awesome friends.
The show was full of life, colorful, exciting, and great dance! There was always life on stage when Charlie appeared. He gave it the excitement to keep it flowing.
The grandparents were ok, and mostly there to make the teens in the audience laugh.
The kids who were in the yard with Charlie brought a fun vibrancy to the beginning of the show.
The kid who won the golden tickets were just like the movies, very fun, very colorful and very loud!
The set looked so much fun, and probably fun to build. There were lots of great techincal things in the show, my favorite being the TV that Mike Teavee ended up in, and then got scooped up by his mom, I LOVED it!
I really wanted to see Grandpa Joe and Charlie fly in the Fizzie lifting room, but they didn't have harnesses. Also it would have been cool if the boat actually would have moved for the psychedelic boat ride to the other side of the factory. They used lots of fun lights and the kids leaned in the boat to simulate moving around, but it was on wheels, so I thought playing the Amoeba game would have worked out pretty well.
The show was amazing, my 3 year old and her 6 year old friend right next to us LOVED it, and so I recommend if they do a fun musical again next year, and I don't see why they wouldn't, do 5 days of it!!!

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The winter blast that sucker-punched Ohio has hit its casinos, causing two of the 24-hour-a-day businesses to close down, and industry analysts disagree over the extent of the financial strain.
The Horseshoe Casino Cleveland shut its doors at 3 a.m. Monday and was scheduled to open at 4 p.m. Tuesday. The freezing temperatures caused a water pipe to burst overnight at the business, affecting the food court on its second level.
The Hollywood Casino Toledo closed at 6:30 p.m. Sunday before re-opening Monday afternoon. It closed again at 4 a.m. Tuesday and did not open by early afternoon.
ThistleDown Racino and the Hard Rock Racino Northfield Park remained open.
Shannon Mortland, a spokeswoman for the Cleveland casino, said she is unsure of the effect the winter weather will have on the business. A spokesman at the Toledo casino could not be reached.
Gaming experts agree the casinos will lose revenues, but they disagree about the extent. They say it is not uncommon for weather to close casinos, especially for those in the South and the East Coast.
"This will dramatically impact them,'' said Alan Silver, an assistant professor at Ohio University who teaches casino management and marketing. "Any time you lose a couple of days of revenues, it is going to affect the bottom line.''
Silver said he had worked as the vice president of marketing at three tribal casinos in Minnesota, and he said there is a correlation between bad weather and a casino's business. He said that businesses could be hindered by the weather, even after they re-open, as many players might not want to venture out.
But others aren't so sure.
"It will have a negative impact, as they won't have revenues for a few days,'' said Randall Fine, the managing director of the Fine Point Group, a casino consulting firm in Las Vegas. "But once they re-open, they should be OK. They might even see a surge, as some people might have cabin fever, and they want to get out.''
Roger Gros, the publisher of Global Gaming Business Magazine, said the closings will affect the businesses a bit in the short term, but it won't hurt them overall.
"It could even be a good public-relations move,'' Gros said. "Your employees don't have to go out, and you can save yourself a lot of problems that could happen. People could get stranded, there could be other problems there as well.''
David Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, agreed: "It's really a fact of life: You're going to lose a couple of days because of the weather. It happens. But they'll bounce back.''

ALLENDALE — Prosecutors say the owners of a New Jersey-based biotech products company misused more than $2 million of its investors' money to fund a lavish lifestyle.
Agencies under New Jersey's attorney general office have filed suit against Energex systems; its top executive Thomas Fagan; his wife, Candace, and two other business entities they control — Arbios Acquisition Partners and Arbios Systems. The Allendale-based companies were registered or formed in Delaware.
Attorney General Paula Dow says the company defrauded nearly 800 investors out of roughly $9.5 million. The suit claims Thomas Fagan wasn't registered with the state Bureau of Securities when he sold unregistered stock and notes and allegedly misused invested funds.
A man who answered Thomas Fagan's phone said he wasn't immediately prepared to comment but planned to make a statement.
