Here's how RW members rated this race (311 votes).
In short: Excellent organisation and fantastic atmoshpere - friendly marshalls, friendly runners and home made cakes at the end!In full: I was a last minute entry to this (thankyou Brian) after enjoying the Surrey Spitfire 20 last Sunday and wanting more of the same - and wasn't disappointed!Once again the two things that make this event really enjoyable are the clockwork organisation and the fantastic friendly atmoshpere. Plenty of easy to find parking, lots of toilets, excellently marked course and enthusiastic friendly marhsalling. The 9-6-6 helped the mental count-down and I didn't even need to use my IPod (which is rare!)A speacial mention to the marshall who shouted before the last killer hill (at mile 20!) - "one last hill and then its all downhill to the finish"... I wouldn't have made it up without that mantra in my head!p.s. lovely homemade cakes!Date of review: March 27, 2012
In short: So much more than just a marathon warm-up!In full: Cranleigh is a lovely race - nice scenery, really well marshalled (thanks guys!!) and challenging in places without being painful.Nice medal at the end, good value, nice friendly atmosphere. Can't really fault it.Date of review: March 27, 2012
In short: Excellent Spring Marathon PreperationIn full: I did this race 2 years ago and cut off at 15 due to a heavy cold. Heading back this year I was determined to do the full 21 and with the glorious weather it was a most rewarding race. The marshalls were brilliant, the course is very scenic and the atosphere was very friendly.Definitely a must do in the lead up to a spring marathon, the hills really make you work and the icecream van at the finish was most welcome.Loved it!!!!Date of review: March 26, 2012
In short: What a nice race.....In full: Nearly didnt run this as my knee was playing up but so glad I did...even if I had to call it a day at 15 miles while i could still walk. Lovely scenery and undulating but never too steep (albeit I didn't have to do the second hill twice!) Will definitely be back next year to do the whole thing. Well done to the organisersDate of review: March 26, 2012
In short: Well organised low key raceDate of review: March 26, 2012
In short: Excellent training run for a spring marathonIn full: The 9/6/6 format is a brilliant idea; the last 6 mile section flew past (in the mind only...)Date of review: March 26, 2012
In short: Pleasant running with good support from other competitorsIn full: I enjoyed the route across the slightly undulating surrey countryside in the lovely sunshine of a spring morning with good banter from other runners. The 9 / 6 / 6 mile loops made it easy to segment the course mentally. The only major downsides, which would have been out of the control of the organisers, were the challenges around the start / finish. Despite the first two miles of the route being closed, a UK Cycle Event had to share the same road and cyclists were having to plough their way through the running field. Then, to reach the finish line, I had to dodge a few cars turning out of junctions immediately beside me.Date of review: March 26, 2012
In short: Even better 2nd time round! In full: Did this last year and enjoyed it as pre-marathon training, came back this year knocked a minute and half-ish off my time, even in hotter conditions! Very friendly marshalls and staff! And I did the whole thing without any music as I dropped and lost my headphones before I even started the race, which filled me with dread initially, but do you know what, it was such a nice atmosphere and plenty of scenery I actually was fine without them!Think I maybe back next year even if I'm not training for a marathon!Date of review: March 26, 2012
In short: Friendly, low key, great course.In full: Park near the start, race began on time, mile markers, drinks stations, jelly babies, nice route, friendly atmosphere.....What's not to like. A good spring marathon build up event. Oh, by the way, £1.50 for a cup of tea and a slice of very tasty coffee & walnut cake was a bargain.thanks to the organisers.Date of review: March 26, 2012
In short: well organised and friendly raceIn full: Agree with other posts - easy to park, friendly marshalls and great support from other runners made it an enjoyable run. The hill at mile 15 and 20 miles keep you focused! Well done to all involvedDate of review: March 26, 2012

Attorney general: SBHE open meeting violations 'pervasive'
State Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said Friday that the embattled State Board of Higher Education's violations of the state's open meetings laws have been "pervasive."
Stenehjem ruled on April 18 that the board had violated open meetings laws when they met Jan. 16 at the home of Chancellor Hamid Shirvani in Bismarck. The board failed to post the location of the special meeting at Shirvani's house or at the board office and failed to give specifics about what was discussed at the meeting in the minutes released following the meeting.
In the same April 18 opinion, Stenehjem wrote that the board had not violated the open meetings law at a March 6 dinner attended by a quorum of the board because board members told him they had not discussed public business at that meeting. However, according to the opinion issued Friday, Stenehjem said further investigation determined that the board did, in fact, violate the open meetings law in March and substantive public business was discussed during that meeting.
According to Stenhjem, Janice Hoffarth, the board's staff adviser, contacted him after the April 18 opinion was issued and disagreed that the March meeting was a purely social occasion. According to the opinion, Hoffarth, who is employed by the state university system at the University of North Dakota, was concerned that contacting Stenehjem could affect her job, but she put her duty as a board member ahead of any concern about her job.
Following his conversation with Hoffarth, Stenehjem contacted three board members about the nature of the March 6 dinner social "and it became clear that the initial response from the Board was neither accurate nor forthright," he wrote. "Moreover, other than Ms. Hoffarth, no other Board member took any action to correct the inaccuracy."
Stenehjem then required board members and Shirvani, who was also present at the dinner, to individually answer a series of questions about what was discussed at the meeting. Stenehjem advised them that anyone making a false written statement in a governmental matter would be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. Stenehjem said the responses made it clear that substantive board business was, in fact, discussed at the March 6 dinner social though "some members of the SBHE appear to believe that by merely labeling the meeting as a 'social dinner' in the agenda, they were relieved from any obligation to adhere to the requirements of the open meetings law."
"Although each SBHE member has … a slightly different recollection of the March 6, 2013, dinner meeting, most SBHE members recall discussing a recent letter to the editor from SBHE president Duaine Espegard that was published in several newspapers," Stenehjem wrote. "The letter discussed various SBHE issues and the SBHE's position on supporting Chancellor Shirvani. Some SBHE members recall the conversation getting quite heated and questions were raised about who represents and speaks to the media on the Board's behalf. Others recall conversations involving an open records request for SBHE member Sydney Hull's e-mails, text messages, and/or phone records; Mr. Hull's accusations against Chancellor Shirvani; and, the controversy surrounding construction of the information technology building at the University of North Dakota. One member summed up the conversation saying 'no formal agenda but there was a discussion on some of the agenda items of the meeting the next day.' "
This, Stenehjem wrote, was a clear violation of the state's open meetings law. Though some board members said they were confused about what discussions are public business, Stenehjem wrote that the board's lawyer has frequently explained the open meetings law and that it applies to discussions that take place in informal as well as formal gatherings and at all steps of a decision-making process, so long as a quorum is present.
"I will not tolerate the circumvention of the open meetings law due to actual or feigned ignorance of the law," wrote Stenehjem. "In the context of the open records law, I have explained that every state official and the employees of any public entity should know what records are subject to the open records law."
Also in the opinion issued Friday, Stenehjem wrote that there have been several instances where a quorum of the state board of higher education has discussed public business via e-mail or by telephone, also a violation of the state's open meetings law.
"The e-mails provided to this office illustrate that the SBHE frequently provide opinions, gather information, engage in substantive discussions, and attempt to build support and consensus for certain positions with each other," wrote Stenehjem. "Oftentimes such e-mail exchanges were prompted by Chancellor Shirvani, who, as the chief executive officer of the Board and a public employee is under the same obligation to adhere to the open meetings law. This practice of using e-mails to circumvent public discussion on public business violates the open meetings laws and must cease immediately. Although the number of violations is difficult to determine, it is my opinion that the series of e-mail exchanges among a quorum of SBHE members were intended to avoid the open meetings law, and were "meetings" required to be open to the public and preceded by public notice."
Stenehjem also ruled that the board also violated the open meetings law on Feb. 26 when a quorum of board members met with university system employees in Fargo.
As a remedy for the open meetings violations, Stenehjem is ordering all board members to attend a training seminar in conjunction with his office within the next two months. Within seven days, they must also create minutes for the March 6 and Feb. 26 meetings. The minutes for each meeting must include a list of all people present and the written recollections of all those who were present. The minutes and recollections must be provided free of charge to any member of the public who asks for them.
Espegard, contacted on Friday, said the board will comply with the remedy proposed by the Attorney General.
Both the state board of higher education and Chancellor Shirvani have come under criticism in recent months. Several groups, including the North Dakota Student Association as well as Minot State University's faculty senate and student association, have approved votes of no confidence in Shirvani, whose management style has been criticized. Shirvani has said he is doing as asked and is attempting to improve the state's university system, including boosting low graduation rates. The Board of Higher Education has expressed its support for Shirvani, who began work last July. North Dakota voters will vote in November 2014 on whether to replace the board of higher education with a three-member, full-time commission.

So we know now that Setoguchi's back is against the wall; he's clearly on the trading block, he's been moved up and down the line chart, and he's about this close to being a healthy scratch. He's been counted on to provide scoring, and he hasn't done that- and even though he's sporting a healthier physical game than in year's past, defensively he's consistently out there hemmed in his own zone. So as you can tell by the four-letter celebration he had after scoring the game winner in Overtime, he must feel like there's been some weight lifted off of his shoulders. Will that translate into more free-flowing production though?
- Here's the issue with Setoguchi though; he can't create his own shot. Even though he's had five or six grade A scoring chances the last two games, it was because he was able to fire off someone else's feed. I wonder if he'll be able to proactively use his speed and newfound physical element to start to make things happen by himself, but as of now it looks like he's got to be stapled to a playmaker because he can create space for himself to shoot.
- That said, Seto had seven shot attempts- which is good for third on the night. A good sign for sure that the Second line at least had a pulse.
- I know I harped earlier about breaking up Koivu and Parise, but what about putting Setoguchi up with those two? I'm not saying that he deserves it (although he's been pretty good the last three games) but I like the notion of putting him with two guys that work their asses off.
- That would mean you have Dany Heatley with Charlie Coyle and Mikael Granlund; plenty of size to offset Granlund. Also, if you take a look at Granlund's face off numbers (4/11, 36%) its become evident he should move to wing. Coyle, even though he's being groomed at wing, has some position flexibility, or at the very least take the draws.
- Minnesota has a winning record when Nate Prosser is in the lineup. Just saying.
- That said, send Marco Scandella back to Houston once Jared Spurgeon returns. Besides, Scandella always seems to respond to those demotions- he was positively brilliant after his last "wake up call" last year.
- Or you look at possibly dealing him- do you honestly put him in the lineup over a Clayton Stoner, or a Justin Falk, or even Prosser? Hell, I'd argue Spurgeon would have to fight just to get some playing time when he's finally healthy.
- 60 shot attempts, and 16 were blocked. They outshot Nashville by a healthy margin at even strength, but that doesn't say much, considering The Preds are just about Minnesota on the attempted shot totem pole.
- Finally...it's nice to see a win, but this team needs to do it on the road. Plain and simple.

A new internet campaign for the IKEA PS 2006 collection launched today with clips on the web tracked by the viral chart. The movie called Roadrage was shot by Måns Nilsson and Valdemar Westesson in Malmö... Now, it might just be me, but what does the "what if.." idea have to do with anything? I'll see your "what if" and raise you a "wtf was that about?"
Those interested may de-construct the funny* film here.
what the...?
* subjective, humor is, as we all know.
Wow, that was a really crap attempt at "humor".
honking at old women is funny, but the ad is crap.
I love it since it sells nothing more than the idea of IKEA PS. The skaters is so damn bad and it all pull back to all the amateurvideos that Fark and Fazed use to show up. It's fun and the lady is cool, and the pink-shirt is a looser.

Thanks for sticking around
To the editor:
Thanks to the man driving the BMW convertible outside Bremer Bank over Labor Day weekend. There had been a suspicious looking man walking from the opposite direction when I was approaching the ATM. The man in the BMW convertible had just driven up to the ATM. I walked and stood a distance behind the BMW to wait my turn to use the ATM. It was Sunday so there weren't any other people around at the bank. I felt really uncomfortable when the man, who was kind of scruffy and unkempt, walked by.
So, as the man in the BMW got done I asked him to stick around for a bit while I used the ATM and that I felt uncomfortable when "that man walked by." He said, "sure." Then I used the ATM and I told him, "Thanks so much. I really appreciate it." He said, "Have a nice and safe day." Then he drove off and I walked toward home.
Your help was appreciated. It's nice to know there are kind and helpful individuals out there.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Were really fun and easy to use for fishing. However, cant get them wet, frame broke and cracked when switching lenses, seemed to take a long time to start filming. Also, you have to look below whatever you want to film. Used these one entire summer and at the end the polarized part peeled off and they no longer recorded video just audio. Not really comfortable either. Really wanted to like these glasses and may even get a second pair if I find them on sale. Wouldn't pay full price, but fun well they worked.
From: Andrew: Stevens Point, WI
Comments: Overall I would give this Item grade of a B.
Objective Part: Recordings/sound has the quality of a video camera circa 1999-2002, it will definately appear dated to you, but its not terrible in any way. It just is what it is. Dont expect HD quality.
Good: Its simple to work, and it does the job as advertised. Customer service was excellent in replacing my broken pair
The Bad: It is a small fit for some guys. If you wear a hat size bigger than like 7-3/8 or 7-1/2 this will be tight to wear, too much bigger and they would be unwearable
The Ugly: They are fragile, treat them like a camera, and not sunglasses. I dropped mine once and got a huge crack in the frame.
From: Matt: Indiana
Comments: They are convenient and take decent video, but they break and fall a part easy
Comments: Wow.......for as small a camera this is, the picture and sound come out amazing. The only thing is you might need to either look directly at what u want to record or angle the glasses a bit to get the best angle shot.
From: Dan: Ontario, Canada
Comments: best recording glasses ever must get

5 to be inducted into 'Pride' Hall of Fame
MARSHALL – Five people who have made a major impact on Marshall Public Schools and the surrounding community will be recognized for their efforts next month.
Carol Purrington, Sandi and Brian Hoffman, Lowell Ziemann and Jeff Kruse will be inducted into the Pride in the Tiger Foundation Hall of Honor during a 5:30 p.m. dinner Saturday, April 6, in the banquet room at TK's Steakhouse in Marshall.
Every two years, the Pride in the Tiger Foundation selects individuals for its Hall of Honor. Honorees can be nominated in three categories: faculty/staff, alumni and community.
The Pride in the Tiger Foundation awards scholarships to Marshall High School seniors and helps support projects/initiatives in Marshall public and parochial schools. The Pride in the Tiger Foundation will award more than $90,000 in scholarships to Class of 2013 members this year.
2013 inductees:
Carol Purrington
The Philip, S.D., native was head coach of the Marshall High School speech team for 22 years. She coached 158 state speech tournament qualifiers and of those, 14 were crowned state speech champions.
"I enjoy seeing students develop poise and confidence," she said. "You can see what it does for them as individuals, and it gives me a great deal of satisfaction to feel I had a part in that success."
Purrington began her teaching career in Marshall in 1979 and taught and coached the speech team until 2001. She was elected president of the Minnesota Speech Coaches Association (MSCA) from 1991-93, served as the Fine Arts representative on the Minnesota State High School League Board of Directors from 1992-96, was named MSCA Speech Coach of the Year in 1996 and received the Communication and Theatre Association of Minnesota's Outstanding Individual in Communication and Theatre Award that same year.
"I've known Carol for a long time," said Bill Swope, the Pride in the Tiger Foundation executive director. "She's been an educator for as long as I have. She's a solid English teacher. She put the speech team on the map. She was instrumental in putting together the Schwan Speech Spectacular, which is now a nationally-renowned speech tournament."
Purrington has two sons, Rick, a teacher and the current speech coach at Marshall High School, and Rob, who also lives in Marshall and who helps with the speech team as well.
Purrington continues to be a substitute teacher in the district.
Sandi Hoffman
Hoffman, a Mountain Lake native, began her educational career as an English teacher and librarian in the Marshall School District in 1967. When the new high school (current Middle School) was completed, she worked as the middle school librarian until her first child was born in 1971. She worked part time at West Side Elementary and later, from 1981-95, one or two days per week as librarian at Hendricks High School, which would become Lincoln HI.
Former Marshall Superintendent Tom Tapper then approached her to head up the new Mentor Program, which paired high-achieving students with mentors within the community. The program catapulted many promising students to earn college and post-graduate degrees. She headed that program from 1996-2003.
"Sandi has been employed at Marshall Public Schools in various capacities," Swope said. "She directed the Mentor Connection, an excellent program which paired seniors who were interested in a specific area with mentors who they would shadow. She was a very successful cheerleading coach and was active in the Minnesota State High League."
Hoffman began working with Marshall cheerleaders in 1994. Two years later, she approached the administration about adding a competition cheer team to the Marshall program. She worked with the Marshall cheer team through the 2006 season and earned Minnesota State Cheer Coach of the Year honors during that time.
Sandi and husband Brian, also a 2013 Hall of Honor honoree, are the parents of three grown children: Megan Donovan, Allison Hoffman and Michael Hoffman.
"I was privileged to work with so many hard-working, high-achieving students over the years," she said. "They wanted to do their best, and it's a privilege to have worked with them. I am truly honored, and humbled, to be selected to the Hall of Honor."
Brian Hoffman
Hoffman is a Marshall native and a 1962 graduate of Central Catholic High School. After earning an undergraduate accounting degree at St. Thomas and an MBA at St. Cloud State, he returned to Marshall to work at his father Lee's accounting business for several years. He teamed with John Brobst to form the accounting firm Hoffman & Brobst, PLLP, in 1972. Brian worked there for 40 years until his retirement last year.
Hoffman spent two years on the Marshall Planning Commission, eight on the Marshall City Council, four on the Economic Development Committee and 10 on the Economic Development Authority. He was one of four co-chairs of the fundraising committee that built the YMCA.
Hoffman is married to Sandi, another 2013 Hall of Honor recipient.
"Brian grew up in Marshall," said Swope. "He worked with the school district as an auditor. He is involved in many areas; he's on many committees. He is very committed to Marshall Public Schools. He and Sandi have three children who graduated from Marshall High School and are very successful."
Lowell Ziemann
Lowell Ziemann knew he had big coaching shoes to fill.
He came to Marshall as a math teacher and head boys' basketball coach in 1964, the year after Marshall won its only state basketball title. Turns out, he filled Glenn Mattke's shoes nicely.
Ziemann coached from 1964-1976, compiling a 180-84 record, including state tournament trips in 1970 and 1974. The Tigers lost to Sherburn in 1970, the final one-class state tournament, and were beaten by the Mark Olberding-led Melrose team in 1974. He taught one more year before getting into the investments and insurance business.
His Tiger teams were known for tenacious man-to-man pressure defense that capitalized on opponents' turnovers.
He taught and coached in Paynesville for four years before coming to Marshall. He was also head golf coach at Marshall for several years.
He is especially proud of former players who have gone on to become great coaches.
"Rick Manke up in Detroit Lakes, Tom Doyscher (in Waconia and Norwood-Young America) and Terry Culhane in Marshall have all been very successful coaches. They're good guys," he said.
"This nomination was supported by the most letters," said Swope. "They wanted to see him in the Hall of Fame. He was the basketball coach from 1964 to 1976 and many of those players will be at the banquet from all over the United States."
Ziemann is semi-retired now and lives in Happy Jack, Ariz. He recently had a book of western short stories published.
"I really enjoyed my time in Marshall. The community was very supportive of the program," he said.
Ziemann and his wife Jean are the parents of two children: Jay, and Suzanne Schultz.
Jeff Kruse
Kruse is a longtime Marshall resident who served on the Marshall School Board from 1988-2002. He worked a good part of his professional career with the Schwan Food Co. and was a corporate trainer and a human resources manager for the route system. He teamed with Linda Nelson to form a human resources consulting firm, Customized Consulting.
Kruse was on the Marshall Community Services Advisory Board for several terms and was a key player on the Southwest Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission board of directors, whose efforts resulted in Marshall becoming the eighth regional amateur sports center in Minnesota.
"I said when I first came to town that if anyone asked me to do something I'd say 'yes.' I don't know if I'll be any good at it, but I'll say 'yes,'" he said.
Always ready to lend a hand, "that's Jeff," said Swope. "When he was on the school board he was critically important to getting the new school."
Kruse has been active in the larger community as well.
"He's been on the (Prairie Home) Hospice board," said Swope, "the Marshall Community Services advisory board, he's active with amateur sports and very active with the Methodist church as a lay leader."
Kruse has been active in the Methodist Church, and his faith has carried him during his recent challenge. He has been fighting cancer for the past three years and underwent a second stem cell transplant in late March. The Veterans Administration determined that the cause of the cancer can be traced to Agent Orange, which he was exposed to while serving in Vietnam in 1968.
"I am blessed to have the support that I do," he said. "God will call me for this, or something else. I am almost 66 and have had significant opportunities in life to do things people haven't done. I'm thankful for that."

PNC wraps up rollout of new features at 3,600 ATMs
The Columbus Dispatch - August 29, 2013 10:48 AM
PNC has wrapped up the installation of new features to 3,600 of its ATMs that make it easier to deposit checks, cash checks and complete other transactions.
The bank began the rollout out the program in 2012.
The new features allow customers to cash checks and deposit stacks of money or checks without an envelope. Cash will be available immediately from check deposits made by 9 p.m.
The ATMs also can dispense one-dollar bills, allow customers to set preferences for their transactions, and if customers want a receipt, a picture of the check that they deposited will be printed on it.

Delivering modernized business systems is at the heart of the Department of Defense (DOD) efforts to transform its business operations. These systems include timeworn and duplicative systems that support DOD business operations such as civilian personnel, finance, health, logistics, military personnel, procurement, and transportation. Since 1995, GAO has designated the department's business systems modernization efforts as high risk. One key to effectively modernizing DOD's multibillion dollar systems environment is ensuring that business system investments comply with an enterprisewide strategic blueprint, commonly called an enterprise architecture. For DOD's business systems modernization, it is developing and using a federated business enterprise architecture (BEA), which is a coherent family of parent and subsidiary architectures, to help modernize its nonintegrated and duplicative business operations and the systems that support them.
DOD reports that its business systems environment includes about 2,300 investments, which are supported by billions of dollars in annual expenditures and are intended to support business functions and operations. As GAO has previously reported, DOD's business systems environment has been characterized by (1) little standardization, (2) multiple systems performing the same tasks, (3) the same data stored in multiple systems, and (4) manual data entry into multiple systems. According to DOD, one purpose of the federated BEA is to identify and provide for sharing common applications and systems across the department and the components and promote interoperability and data sharing among related programs. Because DOD spends over $10 billion each year on its business systems and related information technology infrastructure, the potential for identifying and avoiding the costs associated with duplicative functionality across its business system investments is significant.
To accomplish this, DOD has developed an automated tool to map each system's functionality to the BEA operational activities and business functions that the system supports. Using an enterprise architecture in this way offers significant dollar savings potential, as it provides an authoritative frame of reference against which to analyze proposed investments and collect the information needed to identify where a given investment may overlap with other investments and thus unnecessary duplication of effort can be avoided. However, GAO has previously found that much remains to be done in extending and developing DOD's BEA and ensuring that disciplined management controls are applied at the institutional and program-specific levels. Without sufficient rigor in its business systems modernization, GAO found that DOD programs were at increased risk of being defined and implemented in a way that does not sufficiently ensure interoperability and avoid duplication and overlap. To adequately ensure that DOD business system investments are defined and implemented within the context of the federated BEA, GAO recommended in August 2008 that DOD use the program-specific data in its architecture compliance tool to identify and analyze potential overlap and duplication and thus take advantage of opportunities for reuse and consolidation among programs. DOD agreed and stated that it plans to update its investment review board process guidance to require use of program-specific data for certification decisions on business systems compliance with the BEA. However, it has yet to establish a date for doing so.
More broadly, GAO has recommended steps DOD needs to take to further improve its business systems modernization efforts. At the institutional level
Furthermore, DOD needs to ensure that its business system programs and projects are managed with integrated institutional controls and that they consistently deliver benefits and capabilities on time and within budget.
Between 2005 and 2008, GAO reported that DOD made progress implementing key institutional modernization management controls in response to GAO recommendations as well as to statutory requirements. For example, the department had continued to develop updates to its BEA that addressed important elements related to statutory requirements and best practices that GAO previously identified as missing. In addition, DOD defined and began implementing investment controls, such as the Business Capability Lifecycle, which is intended to streamline business system capability definition, acquisition, and investment oversight processes, to guide and constrain its departmentwide systems modernizations. However, notwithstanding this progress, additional actions are still needed.
In May 2009, GAO reported that the pace of DOD's efforts in defining and consistently implementing fundamental business systems modernization management controls (both institutional and program specific) had slowed compared with progress made in previous years, leaving much to be accomplished. To this end, GAO's work has highlighted challenges that DOD still faces in aligning its corporate architecture and its component organization architectures, leveraging the federated architecture to avoid investments that provide similar but duplicative functionality in support of common DOD activities, and institutionalizing the business systems investment process at all levels of the organization. In addition, ensuring that effective system acquisition management controls are implemented on each business system investment also remains a formidable challenge, as GAO's recent reports on management weaknesses associated with individual programs have disclosed.
Because of these limitations, DOD programs continue to be at increased risk of being defined and implemented in a way that does not sufficiently ensure interoperability and avoid duplication and overlap, which are both goals of the BEA and the department's related investment management approach. If these limitations are addressed, DOD and its components could have a sufficient basis for knowing if its business system programs have been defined to effectively and efficiently support corporate business operations. Congress can play a critical role by continuing to provide focus and oversight.
At the request of the Senate Armed Services Committee, GAO is initiating two engagements focusing on (1) the status and progress of the military departments' enterprise architecture programs and (2) prior GAO recommendations pertaining to the department's and the military departments' investment management processes, and the effectiveness of the department's investment review boards in approving and certifying business system investments in accordance with applicable criteria.
The information contained in this analysis is based on the related GAO reports listed under the "Related GAO Products" tab.

I currently have a KA artisan mixer but I have been thinking about getting the pro 600 because of the spiral hook. Or maybe the DLX. I normally make enough dough for (2) 12" pies, about 23 oz total dough size. Is this dough size too small for these mixers?Thanks, Tony

About the Author: Christopher R. Hill serves as Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs.
We just wrapped up the last event on the last leg of Secretary Clinton's travel to Asian capitals: Tokyo, Seoul, Jakarta, and now Beijing over a week. We got a lot of business done in our meetings with government leaders, but we also learned a lot during the town halls and roundtables the Secretary held at each stop.
I'll admit that as the father of two daughters (including a Wellesley grad) and as former ambassador in the Republic of Korea, I especially got a kick out of the town hall at Ewha University in Seoul. Thousands of students showed up -- despite the fact that they're on winter break -- to ask the Secretary everything from what her priorities were as Secretary of State to how she's managed to balance the demands of career and family. Korea's future women leaders clearly appreciated her wise counsel on all fronts.
A trip like this can be exhausting, but I'm heading back to Washington inspired by the tremendous energy and excitement we've seen in Asia.

I am so grateful to have finally discovered DIPNOTE and the State Department website. Every State Department writer in DIPNOTE gives me a little glimpse into the country to which they've been posted. Their writings also help one to understand the changes that are occurring around the globe. It is wonderful to know that we Americans have so many gifted and creative individuals representing us throughout the world.
It has also been exciting to watch the videos and read the transcripts of the Secretary of State's visits to Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan.
Thank you for the great job you all do.

To keep freedom needs strong power to fight those who try to destroy it. That's why strong relationship between U.S. and S.Korea must be kept as have been, I think.

Thank you so much, Secretary Hill, for this nice post. This blog has been a blessing during the tour. It provided the best coverage for the "netizens" back home. It's wonderful to see such energy going into positive channels of diplomacy. Secretary Clinton did a fine job of setting her own style (one that many of us here recognize very well), but real success depends on teamwork and many people behind the scenes. Dipnote gave us the glimpses behind the curtain. I certainly enjoyed the stories, and more importantly, appreciate the hard work on the part of the U.S.A. and the woman who is our face abroad. I cherish her and my country. Great job, everybody!

I've read a lot news about you when you served your term as Sec. of State for East Asia and the Envoy in the Six Party Talk . As a fabulous diplomat, you did a terrific job in Rice's term, preserving the benefits of your country, promoting the processes of this constructive talk system and keeping a power balance in this territory.On the other hand, you showed your special charm to our Chinese. Although the denucleariztion of DPRK still has a long way to go, you've done your best in these several years.
I've learn the gossip said that you'll be sent to Iraq as the Ambassador,and this is your last trip to Asia as the Assistant. I appreciate the diplomatic performance you've done in East Asia and look forward to seeing you in your next position. Good luck!
Dorotea in Italy writes:
Mrs Clinton, how would you speak about womens rights in a European, civilized, educated, artfull countru like Italy? I mean, in some countries all over the world unfortunately there are evident violations of womens rights and I do agree with the need to condemn them but when these violations happen because of cultural habits, because in a latin country women are "something" men own, because "you cannot have the same career as a man because you're a woman" what would you say? And would we (Italian women) do?
Thanks a lot

Dr. Cameron resigns from Hospital Board
By JIM ANDERSON
News Editor
IRON MOUNTAIN – There is a vacancy on the Dickinson County Healthcare System Board of Trustees following the resignation of Dr. Ray Cameron, whose otolaryngology practice is now part of the DCHS-owned Dickinson Physician Services.
With Cameron no longer eligible to serve on the hospital board, DCHS will move soon to name a replacement, said William Edberg, board chairman. "His connection with the medical community will be sorely missed by the board," Edberg said.
Edberg was named hospital board chairman earlier this year, succeeding Richard Berlinski, who had served eight years in that capacity. Berlinski remains on the board, having served as a trustee since 2002.
Susan Tracy is the board's vice chairman, succeeding Edberg, and Sally Blom remains secretary. Other members are Alice Lemieux, Steve Zurcher, Dr. Alan Fulks and the newest appointee, Adam St. John, mill manager at Verso Paper in Quinnesec. St. John was named to a four-year term in December.
Under a change in state law that became effective a little more than a year ago, the DCHS board makes its own appointments, subject to the consent of the Dickinson County Board of Commissioners. Formerly, the county board made the final selection from among nominees selected by the hospital board.

For two decades, the Labrador retriever has topped the American Kennel Club's list of most popular dogs. Now that's something to bark about.
Why so popular? Gentle, intelligent and family-friendly — those are the three character traits the American Kennel Club and the 100,000-plus American Labrador owners use to describe this breed. Throw in an aptitude for pleasing its master, its usefulness as a hunting companion, its ability to serve the blind as a guide dog, and usefulness as part of search and rescue teams, and it's no wonder the Labrador retriever dominates the list of most popular dogs.
The right dog for you? Just because the Labrador is the most popular dog doesn't mean it's the right dog for you, however. The Labrador retriever is best suited for active families and thrives as a trusted hunting companion. If your family doesn't have the time or ability to keep the dog active, a Lab may not be the best breed for you. The Labrador's family friendliness and gentle nature may, however, provide motivation for each family member to take the dog on regular walks and trips to the park.
What do Labradors look like? Labs fall into the medium-sized dog category. The American Kennel Club notes its "short, dense, weather-resistant coat; an 'otter' tail; a clean-cut head with broad back skull and moderate stop; powerful jaws; and its 'kind,' friendly eyes, expressing character, intelligence and good temperament" as its most distinguishing features. Labradors may be black, yellow or brown (chocolate) and typically weigh between 44 and 75 pounds.
They can act, too? A Labrador's willingness to be trained combined with a likable personality extends their popularity beyond just families. They're commonly seen working alongside medical or military personnel or visiting children or the elderly as therapy dogs. They've also hit Hollywood. A Labrador retriever became the star of one of 2008's most popular movies, Marley & Me, based on a book by John Grogan, who chronicles the life of and his relationship with a misbehaving Labrador.

Cyclones prevail over rival dogs
Third penalty kick is a charm for the West boys soccer team
Coming off a huge upset win over the state's No 2 team, it would have been understandable if the young Cyclones boys soccer team had a letdown against the perennial contenders from Pueblo Centennial.
But that did not happen.
Instead, the gritty Cyclones overcame oppressive heat and two costly hand ball penalties to beat the Centennial Bulldogs 2-1 in overtime last Tuesday at Pueblo West High School.
The Cyclones struck first, just seven minutes into the game when Enrico Annaloro set up a pretty volley from the right side. It proved to be a huge early goal, because the players from both sides wore down quickly in the 100-plus degree temperatures.
West held the one goal advantage going into the second half, but then things turned a bit dicey as they were called for not one—but two—hand ball penalties in the box.
The Cyclones keeper, Trevor Emond made a great save on the first penalty shot to keep the score at 1-0. But the Bulldogs connected on the second penalty kick, and tied the game with 10 minutes remaining in regulation.
Then, as Coach Rex Harriman put it, "good ole Karma came a calling for the Cyclones."
The tables were turned three minutes into the golden goal overtime when Centennial was called for a handball in the box. The Cyclones turned to their team leader and best goal scorer, Jaydon Moreschini to take the penalty shot. Moreschnini did not disappoint. His shot scorched the back of the net, giving the Cyclones a thrilling 2-1 victory.
Coach Harriman said he is very impressed by his young team's start to the new season. "Going 2-0 against two high quality teams has built our confidence, and every day I see the cohesiveness building amongst our players," Harriman said.
And while the Cyclones are hoping for a serious cool down in the weather over the next few weeks, they certainly hope to stay red hot in the win column.

Mike- with all respect-
Paul has probably pissed off 15% of his fans, not 50.
Simple stat: 14% of people believe Obama was not born in the U.S.
http://world-news.newsvine.com/_news/20 ... orn-abroad
Thems your hard core teabagger crowd.
Bush's final approval rating was 22%.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/01/ ... 8399.shtml
Now, some of them teabaggers (maybe most) are included in that group.
I'd also venture that a solid percentage of the aforementioned group are not big Beatle/Rock Music fans-- probably close to 50 to be generous.
I'd also venture that a majority of Paul fans are closer to him on political issues than not. Does it surprise anyone where Paul stands politically? John certainly could have said something like that. Didn't he tell the royals to "rattle their jewelry?"
So really, claiming Paul pissed of 50% of his fans is not accurate.
You should use approval ratings of Bush as a benchmark at all. Many non-Bush supporters and voters of Obama are also against what Paul said. Remember that almost half (50%) did vote for Obama and what is forgotten is that almost half, did not. From the public reaction in the news, on sites and in blogs, I think it is very safe to say the number is much closer if not higher than my 50% than it is to your 15%.

Ample cargo and hydration capacity for a 3-hour to a full-day hike.
Air Director™ Back Panel Features: Foam pods covered in soft mesh create multiple ventilation channels.
Antidote™ Reservoir Features: Quick Link™ System, 1/4 turn - easy open/close cap, lightweight fillport, dryer arms, center baffling and low-profile design, patented Big Bite™ Valve, HydroGuard™ technology, PureFlow™ tube, easy-to-clean wide-mouth opening
Key Pack Features: Hike essentials organizer pocket, four-point compression straps, tool attachment, side pockets
Designed to Carry: Extra layers, food, head lamp, trail maps, trekking poles, media, sunglasses
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
We recommend wiping your pack with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If the pack is extremely dirty and needs a deeper cleaning, soak it in cool or warm water with a very mild soap. Rinse the pack thoroughly with cool water. If soap residue remains in the fabric, it may create suds if exposed to water or sweat.
DO NOT wash your pack in a washing machine. Machine washing may damage the pack or affect the integrity of the fabric and fasteners, and will void the Got Your Bak™ Guarantee.
The best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops:
1. Use hot water and a CamelBak Cleaning Tablet. Or use 2 tablespoons of baking soda or bleach instead of CamelBak Cleaning Tab. Mix the solution inside your reservoir and elevate the reservoir above the tube and Big Bite Valve. Pinch the bite valve, allowing the solution to flow into the drink tube and fill the bite valve.
2. Let the reservoir and cleaning solution sit in the reservoir and drink tube for about 30 minutes.
3. Wash the reservoir with hot water and mild soap. Be sure to completely rinse away the cleaning solution in the reservoir and drink tube before using again. You can also use CamelBak brushes from our Cleaning Kit to scrub your reservoir and drink tube. Brushes are the best way to ensure you are scrubbing all of the areas of the reservoir clean.
4. Once the reservoir is clean, be sure to air dry overnight so no moisture is trapped inside, which can cause mold to grow.
These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

Comments about CamelBak Rim Runner™ - Discontinued:
I've had this pack for about a year and a half now, and have taken it up and down Mt. Shasta and used it as my school pack every day since I bought it. It feels and looks incredibly well made, and stands up to continued use excellently. The only thing that's broken about it now is that it's missing the waist strap, but that's only because the buckle got locked in someone's locker, so I cut the strap!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love it. Best backpack of my life
By Jay
from Milwaukee, WI
Best Uses
I have had this for 3 years now and its the best backpack I have owned. I actually have an older model of the current one yet I used to go through one back pack a year until I go this one. I rock climb, camp, backpack, run half marathons, and cycle Its a beast. I dont worry about busting a zipper or tearing any part of the material. Its a tank and I love it. Its a little bit smaller than a regular school bag but it is great.

Great Day Pack
By Jeff
from Denver,CO
I use this to go on day hikes as well as mountain biking. This pack allows for serious water storage as well as many other things. I always carry extra food, weather protecting gear, first aid, etc. This pack allows me to carry all this comfortably and not need to stop and take my water out to have a drink. I can store everything needed for a safe adventure and drink as I go. I love it. The only downfalls I experienced were my water hose freezing (granted I was hiking in 20 degree weather) and the hip straps are not cushioned which can cause discomfort. I was able to replace the hose with a more weather appropriate Camelbak and solved the problem. Overall, it is a fantastic backpack and well worth the money.
Excellent Day Pack
By A new hiking fan
from St Augustine, Fl.
Bought this pack to use as a day pack for hiking in North Carolina. I carried a rain jacket, first aid kit, multi tool, lighter, lunch, and a few cliff bars along with a full reservoir of water, and a wool sweater. The pack cinched tight to my back and felt great for the 5 hour hike up and down the mountain. Good job, guys.
By Elfugo
from Gainesville, FL
I run to and from work from time to time and i need to be able to pack a change of clothes, lunch, cash, etc. It's great and the water is more than enough for any other long distance run i plan. Always ready.

Great Daily Commuter Bag
By tinyD
from Oakland, CA
As a CamelBak employee, I get to try a lot of gear. I've found the Rim Runner to be a great daily backpack. My 15" Macbook pro fits easily and seems fairly protected. The fabric is durable and lightweight.

Hi there. I recently purchased a second hand M1 passive for my Martin 000-16GT. Love the sound of it but am having problems with the strap end pin connection between jack and guitar lead. It's quite loose and the guitar cable jack won't connect properly. It just feels loose and doesn't have a snug fit. I have tried with several different leads - Planet Waves circuit breaker, Switchcraft lead with SC plugs, all with same problem.
Any ideas on how to tighten up this connection?

My Inspirational First Month at SBA
One month ago, I took my oath and was given the opportunity of a lifetime to be a champion for America's small businesses.
In my first public statement after my swearing-in, I talked about my intention to support our job creators and build the U.S. economy from the middle out; to promote lending that reflects the diversity of America by getting capital to the areas that need it the most; and to use technology and best practices in customer service to make it easier for borrowers to borrow and lenders to lend.
Then, I immediately embarked on a listening tour to send a signal to entrepreneurs that I wanted a robust dialogue and open lines of communication to understand the range of challenges that America's small businesses owners face.
It has been an exhilarating first month. On my third day on the job, I defended our FY15 budget before the Senate. I went to to the Pentagon to meet with transitioning service members taking an SBA course on how to apply their military skills to civilian entrepreneurship. And I visited Washington state to accelerate the deployment of disaster aid to businesses and families impacted by the devastating mudslide.
I testified at a field hearing that explored how small business R&D can create more high-growth, high-paying jobs. Then, I met with military leaders to make sure the Department of Defense is making procurement decisions that harness the incredible innovation happening at small firms. I traveled to Baltimore and Boise to talk to emerging leaders and women-owned businesses about how to plug into federal contracting opportunities and earn business from the world's top buyer of goods and services: the United States government.
I sat down with women and minority entrepreneurs to hear about their challenges in getting access to capital, and I shared their stories this past week at two major lending conferences to explain SBA regulatory changes that will make it easier to get capital to neighborhoods the recession left behind. We dropped the so-called "wealth test" and "nine-month rule," and we announced more collateral flexibility for our borrowers. These important technical changes will all increase the number of small businesses that qualify for SBA assistance.
At each stop, I've evangelized the SBA message of "three Cs and a D" – our work to deliver capital, contracts, counseling and disaster assistance, which comprise the core of this agency's mission.
My listening tour continues Monday with the kickoff of National Small Business Week at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco. Soon, I'll sit down with our exceptional SBA staff and begin the process of taking the insights gleaned from my time on the road to develop an action plan to take our agency to the next level.
But as I reflect on an eventful first month, the word that stays in my head is "inspirational." As our field team knows so well, our work does more than help America's small businesses succeed and our economy grow. So often, what we're really doing is empowering our entrepreneurs to give back and lift up entire communities.
We're helping women like Dr. Carla Thomas serve generations of families in her hometown of Inglewood, California. Less than four percent of this nation's dentists are African American, but with a real estate loan backed by SBA, Dr. Thomas now has her own building and a thriving practice three miles from the house where she grew up. She stayed "home" to provide dental care to local children and generations of families who need her. Dr. Thomas calls her practice "The Smile Studio." Watch the video above, and you'll see why her unique commitment to give back in Inglewood gives us all a reason to smile.

Skip to comments.CBS: At what point does this become a story beyond Fox News? [EXCLUSIVE: CIA operators denied help]
Posted on 10/27/2012 3:29:53 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
At what point does this become a story beyond Fox News?
Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later was denied by U.S. officials who also told the CIA operators twice to stand down rather than help the ambassadors team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11. ....
[SNIP of events reported by Fox News]
....What. in the hell. was going on?
Woodss father, Charles Woods, alluded to all this in his interview with Glenn Beck. This story puts more meat on the bone.
It seems like an extraordinarily important story to me. Is it just me??
(Excerpt) Read more at markets.cbsnews.com ...
It becomes a story 'beyond' when the all-glorious MSM finally reconciles to themselves the fact that Obama is going to lose and they must somehow begin to rehabilitate their credibility.
For criminals, acts of contrition only begin after they are caught.
The MSM will NEVER cover this story because their IDOL, Obama and Hillary have BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS!
Someone at CBA Money is going Rogue.
Good find!
CBS = Communist Broadcast System
Media Hacks
It becomes a story beyond when all the alphabets realize all their viewers are watching Fox!
If I'm not mistaken, it was Sheryl Adelson (?) from CBS who first broke the story, then Fox picked up on it. If my information is wrong, please correct me.
I don't see how this story stays out of the mouthpiece media forever. I don't think Pravda in the 1970s was this bad.
The accusation by the Left was that the only reason this is a story is because of right-wing politics.
In reality, the only reason it ISN'T a story, is because of Left-wing politics.
If this is not being coveed on NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, PBS etc., then it didn't really happen. /sarc>
If we had such a "data base" it would be easy to send the link to journalists in the MSM and bloggers.
Remember, apart from political bias, the one thig that stops a journo from writing about a story like this is the many fact he/she will have to gather - not least to be able to withstand the blow-back from the WH.
Hillary? Just turn that over in your mind.
Shamefully it won't be covered. And that should scare the living daylights out of all of us....because it means there is no freedom of speech or freedom of the press.
OK, we will gather the FACTS and put them in their inboxes.
I think it's a good idea, but, honestly, most of the MSM are even too lazy to go grab and cite even such a centrally located cache of truth as that.
They prefer to mingle and chat amongst themselves, propagating the same lies and chat, spouting the WH talking points precisely because it offers no peer blowback. The very last thing they want is to invite the wrath of David Axelrod or that Jarrett 'woman'.
Sorry, that's the way it works (and not only in the US). I have been involved in a number of election campaigns here in Sweden, and believe me there is nothing the journalists love as much as a ready made story - they can actually improve it, package it, and sell it very well, but they need someone to feed them (and explain) the facts....
What if they pulled a Torricelli and put another name at the top of the ticket? We already know they think they can do anything.
Especially for the way the father Woods, and the Mother Smith have been slighted by the Obama adm.
The MSM is NOT going to be able to cover up for Obama on Benghazi.
How is Sweden? WOrth seeing?? We are looking at cruises that stop there.
I only do front page news...CBS:
"Admin. rejects new claim about Libya attack"
at least it was mentioned.
If your are a so called journalist working for these propagandist news outlets you will realize that to step out into the light has consequencese unless of coarse you have plans on working somewhere else. Fall in line comrade. You have to also ask yourself why black on white crime is not reported at all across this nation. While white on black is national news out of a small town of 15 people in bumf## Iowa. The media outlets not on the side of all things American they see themselves as quasi new world order propagandists against the capitolist society THAT FEEDS THEM. It is time we put these bastards on a diet
That's life!
Sweden - well worth a visit, but depends on time of year and weather. Please, Freep-mail me, but don't expect an answer before Monday.
ABC has two stories posted.
CNN has a denial posted.
Mostly ignored.
There was a story out that stated Bill tried to convince Hillary to spill the beans. I believe he convinced her and "Stand Down" is the result!
Obama is not answering the question on who ordered the stand down, he's gonna have to BEFORE the election.
Fortunately for Obama, hurricane Sandy is taking over the headlines. The aftermath of the storm will dominate the news until election day.
I'm sure he & his handlers are all high-fiving each other over that stroke of luck.
"If we had such a "data base" it would be easy to send the link to journalists in the MSM and bloggers."
Info sent to the MSM would be useless. They have the info; they know as much about the subject as we do. But if they disseminated the info to the public it would counter their liberal agenda.
The only way people will hear about it is if conservative organizations buy time on TV and broadcast the info in short, info-packed, 30-second clips. (Libs have an attention span as long as a gnat.) Put out a few clips of the interview of Tyrone Woods' father by Megyn Kelly.
More : 4 LINKS to info.
And More:
.....The American special operators, Woods, Doherty and at least two others were part of the Global Response Staff, a CIA element, based at the CIA annex and were protecting CIA operators who were part of a mission to track and repurchase arms in Benghazi that had proliferated in the wake of Muammar Qaddafis fall. Part of their mission was to find the more than 20,000 missing MANPADS, or shoulder-held missiles capable of bringing down a commercial aircraft. According to a source on the ground at the time of the attack, the team inside the CIA annex had captured three Libyan attackers and was forced to hand them over to the Libyans. U.S. officials do not know what happened to those three attackers and whether they were released by the Libyan forces.......
We won;t be going until next summer, but I'll write you...thanks!
Not to worry, the Stasi media will regain its journalistic integrity once Romney is elected. They will be 'free at last' to print the truth again with a republican administration to hunt down.
You would think they would welcome republicans in power because it makes 'journalism' so much fun.
The truth will eventually emerge after The Traitor has been swept out of office and the 'tell all' books that the media hacks have been saving for their personal gain start showing up on store book shelves. Suddenly there will be Pulitzers galore to spread among their own. None for Brett Baier though.
And the second the hurricane makes landfall, the regime will pour all kinds of assistance into the area to appear responsive.
"And the second the hurricane makes landfall, the regime will pour all kinds of assistance into the area to appear responsive."
Yup - anything they can do to keep it in the headlines and Benghazi off the front page.
Not a mention of this on MSNBC website....the Propaganda Ministry (MSM) are all working hard to keep it that way!
Not a mention of this on MSNBC website....the Propaganda Ministry (MSM) is working hard to keep it that way!
Not a mention of this on MSNBC website....the Propaganda Ministry (MSM) is working hard to keep it that way!
How do we accomplish this before we fire Obama's sorry, loser, irresponsible ass?
NBC, CBS, CNN et al have been told to stand down by the Ministry of Praise and Propaganda. They are waiting for their marching orders on how to spin this to the benefit of the lawless one.
". waiting for their marching orders on how to spin this to the benefit of the lawless one."
Funny you should observe that......the RinoCracy is pushing this out right here...this am
Hoping, I'm sure, this will keep anyone in DC from having to public ally demonstrate a backbone and balls....
Tin foil hat time. Would Petraeus really tell agents only a mile away from the consulate that they couldn't help Stevens and the SEAL's? What if this entire story is false and was created by say, MSNBC (or someone else) as bait to make Romney jump on it and make Foxnews look like clowns? After the bait is taken, it's revealed the story is a hoax (without MSNBC admitting it was them who created the story)and Romney and Foxnews are totally humiliated only 9 days from the election.
"The only way people will hear about it is if conservative organizations buy time on TV and broadcast the info in short, info-packed, 30-second clips. (Libs have an attention span as long as a gnat.) Put out a few clips of the interview of Tyrone Woods father by Megyn Kelly."
I agree with the sentiment and like the idea, but you have to consider that the leftmedia probably won't run the ads. That's why Randall Terry ran for President; so the leftmedia couldn't refuse to show the (anti-abortion) ads they wanted to pay for and run.
What LAZY journalists we have if WE have to do their work for them and they STILL won't write about their little man-child President!!
It's not laziness. Look how well they dug things up on Palin. And if Romney is elected? Woo-hoo! They will be reporting everything from when he takes his morning dump to when he falls asleep at night. No scandal will be too small for them to investigate, including jaywalking. The media will make it absolute hell for Romney.
The author of that story will be fired.
If Bush were president, the interview with the father of the murdered soldier would be all over the news, on the front page of every paper for weeks.
The mainstream media is doing this deliberately, intentionally, with full knowledge and awareness of what they are doing, and the full extent of the effect of their actions. It is not an oversight. It is not an error in judgement.
I would say the media would cover it if Romney mentioned it, but they would only slap him down with the canned answer and say "for shame exploiting this tragedy — jumping the gun ahead of the facts!" So I do not know who else could end-run the media firewall.
I think it is going to take a local media person to ask the hard questions and pin the president down when he talks about "we will hunt them down" instead of narrating who knew what, when, who turned down requests for extra security prior to 9/11, who turned down the requests for help in real-time, and why didn't we respond effectivley in real time. Someone will have to ask: "Did you underestimate the amount of violent turmoil you had helped unleash with the Arab Spring? If so, who is to blame for the failed intelligence? If not, why was insufficient security provided for our Ambassador?"
Actually, someone needs to write down a list of about 20 questions, in logical order, and walk him through them until he gets up and walks off, and catch that on camera.
Beyond that, protests at his appearances would help, if phrased pointedly ("Who was in charge in DC while our embassy was under attack? Where were you when our nation was under attack? What happens in Benghazi stays in Vegas.")

Spice up your work attire or casual wear with the Dansko Professional Black Patent Leather Women's Shoe. These women's clogs are precisely made for those who require quality cushioned shoes with arch support for periods of extended standing or walking. Plus, the slick, polished appearance adds a dash of class to any scrubs, pantsuit or pair of jeans.
Dansko Professional Black Patent Leather Women's Shoe Features:
Dansko Professional's stapled outsole has been awarded the Seal of Acceptance from the APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association) and has been verified by SATRA in the United Kingdom and Precision Testing Laboratories in Nashville, Tennessee.
I have been wearing Danskos for years. Being a teacher, I'm on my feet most of the day and these clogs are always comfortable. I also have a wide foot and they work perfectly. Will buy another pair soon!
Everyone raves about Dansko shoes, so I finally decided to give them a try. I am an avid MBT user, but sometimes they hurt my feet, so now I wear those every-other day. I was hoping Dansko would be as amazing for me as the MBT. So far I have found them to be "just okay." I thought this particular color would be more charcoal grey, but it really is prism-ey! I'm not going to rush out and buy another pair of Danskos anytime in the future.
These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had! I bought them for work but they are so cute and comfortable I wear them with jeans. I have had so many compliments!!! I highly recommend them.
This is my first pair of Danskos. I love them with jeans or work attire. When you first put them on, you may think they are "stiff" with not alot of cushion but don't let that fool you... they are VERY comfortable to wear for extended periods of time while standing. I wore while volunteering recently and had MANY compliments, and my back and feet felt GREAT afterwards. Because of the comfort, I've ordered a 2nd pair!
I usually do not like to sacrify style for comfort so I got them in black patent. Very trendy if you know what to wear with. Feet stay very warm in it. Very comfortable, go half size up

Special MTOC 2015 Only U-12 & U-14 Roster Adds
The following policy has been rescinded by BAYS President Dick Penta on 6/7/2015 after review by the Leagues Committee on 6/3/2015.
One Year MTOC Roster Addition Rules for MTOC 2015
This year the Leagues Committee scheduled MTOC for June 26-28 so as to not have any potential conflicts with school attendance. The BAYS Competition Committee is concerned that many teams will have player conflicts with players' summer time activities – vacation, camps etc. To alleviate this concern, the Competition Committee again this year voted to allow "MTOC only rosters" for U-12 and U-14 teams for 2015 ONLY. High School aged teams (U-16 and older) will continue to use their expanded roster option as they have for the last few years. For U-12 and U-14, you may add players from lower teams to your MTOC only roster to replace any regular players that will not be able to attend MTOC. Note that all rosters including regular season and MTOC only needs to be certified by the BAYS Registrar before use and the last time a roster may be altered is at the BAYS Roster Freeze Date of Wednesday May 27, 2015. No changes to any rosters in MTOC sections after that date. Please ensure you poll your team in sufficient time to meet these dates. Below are the rules and procedures for taking advantage of adding players to your MTOC only roster.
1. League rosters are to be used throughout the regular season and the BAYS playoffs. Should you need to use your MTOC only roster for the playoffs, the club needs to petition the BAYS Competition Committee for permission. Email must be received by the BAYS 3rd VP by June 1 to request permission. Be sure to include the detailed reason why the club wishes to use the MTOC only roster for the playoffs. The Competition Committee may allow or diasallow the request at their discretion by a majority vote.
2. Players are added on a one for one basis, they must replace a player and not be a roster add.
3. Players added to the MTOC only roster must play for your club on a lower team. They continue to be a member of their original team through the end of the regular season. If you have multiple teams in a division, the movement is only upward, a player on a 2B team can not be added to replace a player on a 2G team for example but a 2G player could be added to the 2B MTOC only roster. Lower team can also mean younger age group, e.g. a U-11 player from any division can be pulled up onto a U-12 MTOC Only roster.
4. Players may only be on one MTOC only roster, if your club has div 1 and div 2 teams and you wish to bring up a player from div 2 to take a spot on the div 1 team, they can not be on the div 2 MTOC only roster, they would have to be one of the deletions on your div 2 team MTOC only roster.
5. Players added to any MTOC only roster must be age appropriate – no age waivers are allowed at MTOC (i.e. a division 3 player with an age waiver may not be promoted to the MTOC only roster in the same age group).
6. MTOC only rosters need to meet the Leagues Committee requirements for residency. If adding players with residency waivers, please ensure that the roster still meets the 75% rule (75% or more of the players must not have residency waivers).
7. This is optional. If no MTOC only roster is filed by the Roster Freeze of May 27, the League (regular season) roster is your MTOC roster.
Submission requirements:
Submit your roster to the BAYS Registrar by the roster freeze date. Delete any players unable to go to MTOC and add the new players in the appropriate location (alphabetical order). Game Jersey numbers must be included. Include in the email submission message that it is an MTOC only roster. In the body of the message include the changes – each change on a separate line - deleted player name, replacement player name, team that the replacement player played on during the season (age group, division and section). Note that if a player protests deletion, the player will be re-instated and the replacement player removed – this is for players unable to attend – not for any other reasons. The BAYS register will return the roster as well as forwarding to the Playoff committee and division director for their use.
Additional Notes:
Every player will require a player passcard for use at MTOC. This passcard will be inspected with the team during the BAYS Playoffs so ensure the player attends and brings the game jersey to the check in. The BAYS playoff committee will be conducting the check ins and will notify the coach as to the scheduling of the check ins.
