Fox News has repeatedly promoted GOP-led efforts to implement voter ID laws, but yet another conservative media figure acknowledged on Fox's own airwaves that there is no widespread voter fraud problem in the country.
Voter ID laws have long been a priority for right-wing media outlets even though experts say that such laws burden the voting rights of millions of Americans, particularly minorities, the poor, and the elderly.
In the last two days, Fox has picked up the torch for voter ID laws again, pointing to a story of a dog in Virginia who apparently received a voter registration card by mail. The group that sent the card said that the registration card went astray because of an error that occurred with the mailing list they received from a vendor and that it is unlikely to be a widespread problem because of the steps the group takes to ensure their lists' integrity.
Furthermore, no new voter ID laws are necessary to deal with this case. No vote can be cast in the dog's name because the Help America Vote Act already requires voters who register by mail to show identification such as a driver's license, a utility bill or the like, in order to vote.
But while pushing voter ID laws, one conservative media source went off-message yesterday. When Democratic strategist Christopher Hahn noted on Fox Business' Lou Dobbs Tonight that there is no evidence of "broad-based voter fraud," Wall Street Journal editorial board member Mary Kissel agreed, saying that "nobody's alleging" that broad-based voter fraud exists.
Experts also agree that there's no widespread voter fraud. Moreover, Kissel is not the first right-wing media figure or conservative to make such an acknowledgment. Fox News host Megyn Kelly has said that while there have been some instances of voter fraud, "it's not overwhelming." And even pro-voter ID activist Hans von Spakovsky acknowledged that there is no "massive fraud in American elections." And according to Fox News correspondent John Roberts, Republican Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann supports voter ID laws but "admits that there's not a whole lot of voter fraud that he's aware of in Mississippi."
None of this has daunted Fox, however. Here's Fox News host Brian Kilmeade attacking the Department of Justice for not rubber-stamping voter ID laws on the basis of the dog story.
Voter ID laws burden the rights of people to vote. The people who are most burdened are minorities, the elderly, and the poor. Experts say that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could be cured by voter ID laws. Right-wing media figures actually agree with the assessment that there's no widespread voter fraud. Yet Fox continues to act as if voter fraud is a huge problem and voter ID laws are the solution.

Why do I eat plastic bags?
I also eat the sheets from sticky rollers (lint rollers).

in Swallowing Foreign Objects
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Some cats just do. For 15 years, I had to lock away all plastic or my Emily would create her kitty ventilation system. Which would then be puked back up right where I would find it with my feet the next day. I can't tell you how many times I almost fell and broke my neck cause I slipped on cat barf. When I got my three kids now, I tried to be just as cautious. But they don't ingest it, they just like to bat it around (which gets REALLY old at 3:30 in the morning). What I'm trying to say is it is a cat quirk. Hide the things he likes to chew, they will make him sick, and only cause problems.
Emily answered on 8/7/09. Helpful? / 0
I've heard that plastic grocery bags contain animal fat, and since cat's senses of smell are so much more refined than ours are, they can smell it. If this bag contained food, they'll also be able to smell that. Cats can also have a condition called "pica", which also affects people. This condition causes cats to eat non-food items. It can be caused by stress or a health concern. Since eating non-food items can cause serious blockages in their intestines that can cause death or thousands of dollars to cure, it might not be a bad ideato take Jester to the vet's to make sure he's OK. The vet may recommend a dietary change for him that will stop him from eating non-food things.
Izadore (Izzie) answered on 8/8/09. Helpful? / 0
I don't know why exactly they do it, but restrain Jester from doing it. One of my cats used to chew on the plastic that was wrapped around water bottles and got a fat lip. We took her to the vet and he told us that was why and it was extremely painful for her. :(

HENRY COOK, an ecologist with the Australian Museum, dangled a cricket in front of a crack in the wall. But his quarry, a relatively rare native lizard still found on the Glebe foreshore, was not biting. Camera shy, perhaps.
Mr Cook and his colleague Glenn Muir are part of a team of museum ecologists working to identify all the native animals and plants living in the inner city.
The work can be slow, a good part of it must be done at night and animals rarely appear on cue, but the professionals are being helped by residents who have completed an online survey about unusual spottings in their backyard or local park.
''Often there's things hanging around in people's sheds or backyards that can be more interesting than what you see in the parks, as a lot of the parks are quite manufactured and open,'' Mr Muir said.
The city had lost most of its native fauna to human habitats, he said, but there were a few species - such as the common brush-tailed possum - which thrived in urban life.
Ring-tailed possums and native water rats are also among indigenous mammals the ecologists expect to find, along with about 60 indigenous bird species and several reptile and frog species.
They already know of two endangered species within the council area: a population of green and golden bell frogs hidden on private land, and the Botanic Gardens' colonies of grey-headed flying foxes.
''We'll be collecting bat calls via sonar on a little device called AnaBat,'' Mr Muir said, ''and people can identify the genus and sometimes the species from the calls recorded on that.''
Mr Muir and Mr Cook were focused on reptiles yesterday as the first stage of survey work got under way but they seemed to be having more luck with birds, spotting a family of four tawny frogmouths nestled high in a tree in a backyard in Glebe.
The City of Sydney council is funding the three-month study, the first big biodiversity survey conducted in its boundaries.
It is spending $100,000 on the project, which will inform an urban ecology strategic action plan to conserve indigenous plant and animal species and identify ways to improve their habitats.
The survey results are due in the middle of next year.

"These invitations and the collection as a whole are absolutely beautiful. My husband and I were already married, but hadn't had our wedding yet so there was only one last name on the invitation and I had to change the wording to state vow renewal. The designers did an excellent job with those changes. I quality of the paper is unique and the printing turned out perfect. I had many complements from my wedding guests!! Highly recommended."
"I absolutely love my invitations. I was able to customize them easily and add specific instructions that were carried out precisely. The quality is superb and the design is so crisp. I only had 3 people looked at them so far and everyone bought they were gorgeous."
"-Pearl-white shiny paper -Changed the font on the names to be more legible -Paper quality and printing are top notch -My family loves it, we used the pocket-fold envelopes to put the whole thing together, easy to assemble and look great"
"I have loved this choice! Once I saw it, I knew that it was perfect for our wedding! It is gorgeous and elegant. The artists made our names fit and I love it!"
"This was our first order through wedding paper divas but we had ordered from tiny prints many times in the past. As usual the customer service was superb and the invitation was perfect. The most challenging part of ordering from this company is deciding on just one design. These invitations are simple but classy, we couldn't be more pleased!"

17 to 16 rims for the winter? and more...
Hypothetically speaking, would my 33d allow me to go to 16 rims for the winter or will it not fit over the brakes? Also, besides the speed correction calc, is there a good place to check what the max safe width reduction would be? Would stock 225 to 205 be ok on 17? What about on the 16? Also, the 17 rims are 17x8, as I understand. What 16, if they fit, also need to be 16x8?

Since Apple doesn't provide any official manual for their iMovie app, I had relied on their basic tutorial video to learn the basics of navigating and using the app. However, with this new version and revamped UI they have not provided any means of figuring out how to use it!
How is a person supposed to figure out how to use the app, especially brand new users, without any instruction to speak of?!?!? I know Apple's software is easy to use, but it's not THAT easy!

Verizon Wireless Spectrum Buy Said to Raise U.S. Concerns
Verizon Wireless's $3.6 billion plan to buy airwaves from cable providers has raised concerns with U.S. regulators that the purchase may harm competition in the wireless market, three people familiar with the matter said.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission and Justice Department are examining whether the acquisition would make it harder for Verizon's rivals to expand wireless networks, said Steven K. Berry, chief executive officer of the Rural Cellular Association, a critic of the deal, and two other people who weren't authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
The government concerns may prolong reviews of a purchase that analysts initially predicted would be approved easily, said Paul Gallant, a Washington-based analyst with Guggenheim Partners. Verizon, the largest U.S. mobile provider, may have to sell off airwaves to satisfy the government, he said.
"The deal is more likely than not to get approved with some additional concessions," he said in an interview.
Both the FCC and the Justice Department's antitrust division must approve the airwaves agreement. Regulators say they are trying to make sure the market remains competitive to preserve consumer choice and prevent a monopoly that could lead to higher prices.
Neil Grace, an FCC spokesman, declined to comment, as did Gina Talamona, a Justice Department spokeswoman.
Benefit to Consumers
Ed McFadden, a Verizon spokesman, declined to comment on specific issues under consideration by regulators. The company is cooperating with the agencies' reviews and provided written comments to the FCC explaining why the deal won't hurt competition, McFadden said in an e-mail.
Verizon has said consumers will benefit from its purchase of spectrum because the company will be able to provide improved wireless service. Verizon expects the purchase to be approved by the FCC and Justice Department by "mid-summer," McFadden said.
The agencies' concerns have been discussed by staff during meetings over the deal, said Berry, whose Washington-based group represents more than 100 rural and regional wireless companies. The agencies are examining the impact of the deal on Verizon rivals T-Mobile USA Inc., MetroPCS Communications Inc. (PCS) and other competitors, he said. Berry's group has said the deal shouldn't be approved without divestiture of airwaves.
Joint Agreements
Also under Justice Department antitrust review are joint marketing agreements between Verizon and cable companies that were announced the same day as the airwaves sale. The review is examining whether the agreements between Verizon and Comcast Corp. (CMCSA), Time Warner Inc. (TWX) and other sellers of the airwaves may harm competition, according to Berry and one of the people who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The regulators are examining whether competition will be hurt by Verizon acquiring airwaves that it doesn't plan to immediately use, said Berry and the two people who spoke on condition of anonymity.
In a May 2 filing with the FCC, Verizon rejected the concerns, which also were raised by T-Mobile, a Deutsche Telekom AG (DTE) unit based in Bellevue, Washington.
Verizon's airwave purchase will lead to a reduction in high-speed "capacity available overall and reduced competition," according to a petition T-Mobile filed with the FCC in February opposing the purchase.
T-Mobile has said that it couldn't submit a bid to the cable providers because it was in the process of being acquired by Dallas-based AT&T Inc.
Meeting Demand
In a statement filed with the FCC, Verizon said it has enough capacity "to meet increased demands in many areas until 2015." In the May 2 filing, Verizon said the agency has never required a company to show it would use acquired airwaves immediately.
Yesterday, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said the agency has discouraged the holding of unused spectrum, in a speech in New Orleans, without mentioning the Verizon transaction.
Executives of Consumers Union told Genachowski during a May 3 visit to the advocacy group's headquarters in Yonkers, New York, that they oppose the deal because it may increase prices and diminish competition for wireless, video and high-speed Internet service.
High-Speed Service
Wireless providers are seeking to add airwaves to accommodate high-speed service for smartphones and other mobile devices, using fourth-generation technology called long-term evolution, or LTE.
Earlier this month, the FCC added 21 days to an informal time limit for considering the bid by Verizon Wireless, saying the companies involved were slow to provide documents.
This is the second time in as many years the agencies have questioned a major deal in the wireless phone market. The Justice Department, with the FCC's backing, last year successfully blocked AT&T (T)'s $39 billion bid to buy T-Mobile, arguing that the acquisition would hand control of the market to Verizon and AT&T Inc., the No. 1 and No. 2 U.S. mobile providers.
If Verizon sells other airwaves to win government approval, the most likely buyer would be AT&T, further extending the gap between the industry's top two providers and their rivals, said Harold Feld, legal director of Public Knowledge, a Washington- based consumer group that opposes the deal.
The marketing agreements under Justice Department review say the cable companies and Verizon will sell each other's products. Over time, the cable providers will have the option to sell Verizon service on a wholesale basis.
Verizon Wireless, based in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, is 55 percent-owned by Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) and 45 percent- owned by Vodafone Group Plc (VOD), based in Newbury, England.

We're excited to welcome you to SAW in the next couple of weeks. We want to share with you John and Ron's list of materials you may want to bring and/or brush up on.
So far, John's materials list is pretty small:
"I think the students should bring whatever they feel most comfortable drawing with.
–various pens, pencils, erasers, brushes, inks
–preferred drawing paper
–notebook (could be combined with sketchbook)
–laptop if possible for research at library
I don't think it has to get much more complicated than that."
Ron's pre-workshop curriculum however, is much more complicated. Please see this link:
There's a good art store, Central Florida Office Plus, near SAW. I imagine you should bring any tools you're normally happy to work with.
Here's a map of the near-SAW area. Click for larger view.

It's was my 17th birthday and second birthday at the bridge yesterday and I want to thank everyone for all their wishes.
Mum nearly forgot my birthday and said on facebook she was a bad kitty mum for almost forgetting. Mum I'm here to tell you no you're not. I know lately you've had another things on you're mind and I know you talk to me every day via those photos of me you have on your bed room wall and when you hear the wind chimes your lovely CCL friends send you as memorial gift in my honor. I do hear you and I know I will be forever loved.
Banjo my earth brother is turning out to be quiet the little man. I was watching from the earth window this morning and I never thought a cat could be more scared of the vacuum cleaner than me.
When Mum got close to her room where Banjo was hanging out with Grandma he ran straight under the bed. I never did that and he made mum feel really guilty. Banjo keep up the great work you're doing with looking after mum.
I do have some news that I need to tell you with a very heavy heart. My Grandpa joined me at the bridge three months ago after losing his battle with liver cancer. It's nice to have him here but I know Grandma is really missing him. I want her to know that Grandpa is still keeping everyone laughing here.
Sorry it took so long to write this entry. With catster having fleas all the time it been hard to get on here and write my diary. I hope to do it sooner all being well.
Purrs and hugs your Aussie angel mate.
Ka - zar.
I been trying to get on the net here at bridge for quiet some time. My last diary entry was 20th September last year. I find it really difficult to type it myself and the motivation just isn't there anymore.
Doing my diary was something that I shared with my mum when I was on earth. I really miss being with her. Especially with all the stuff that been going on with my earth family lately.
My Grandpa was told last year that the chemo they were giving him for liver cancer didn't work. So they are trying to find a drug trial that will help him. I don't want him up here so please purr for him that they find something.
My Grandma was diagnosed with central nervous system non Hodgkin lymphoma last September and after three months of intensive chemo. I am happy to say it has gone. The nervous system part was a fancy way of saying it was in the brain.
Banjo my kitty earth brother has grown like a little weed and this week celebrates his 1st birthday. I am so proud of him for the way he taken up the duties of looking after the family. My heart ached that I couldn't be there for them when all this was going on but Banjo did a great job in my place.
Mum will post some more current photo of him on his page when the site will allow her to.
I have nothing else to write. I will try and make my next diary entry a lot sooner than this one.
Purrs and hugs your Aussie angel mate

I am not sure if this will post but I am going to try anyway. Since there has been a lot of fleas on catster the last thing I posted about my Grandpa was that he had the liver tumor removed.
Well the surgery went well for that and Grandpa came home about 10 days later to recover. Then he had another scan 8 weeks post surgery and they found that the liver had grown back with cancerous lesions on it 6 of them to be exact.
They are doing chemo once every 2 weeks and then doing a CT scan every 8 weeks to keep an eye on what's going on and to see if the lesions have shrunk once they have Grandpa might have to go back to Melbourne for more surgery. As mum reckons that not the worst thing in the world.
Please keep my Grandpa in your prayers and purrs as we all love him and I don't want him up here at the bridge anytime soon I know if anything happen to my Grandpa my Grandma would be lost and devastated.
I help with greeting the new angel as they arrive at bridge. I think we're going have to make a deal with God to stop calling them home there are two many for us to keep up with.
A message to Caoin's mum he got here and he well again. I will take good care of him as he gets used to life at the bridge he came here too soon but we will love and care for the little guy.
Better go since I have gone to the earth window to see what mum and Banjo my earth brother are up to.
Purrs and Hugs your Aussie angel mate

These supplements may come in big packaging and look aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but when all in said and done, the reason why so many scoops are required is because the product is weakened by ineffective, pointless fillers. These fillers serve no real purpose to today's athletes other than to negatively impact on their calorie intake.
Rant over. Supplement giants Nutrex Research have come up with a solution to this problem by introducing Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate to the pre workout market. This is quite literally an ultra concentrated, super potent 1 scoop only pre workout formula. Quite simply, it's like comparing a shot of whiskey to a pint of beer!
Nutrex Research Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate relies on just 7 ultra pure and super concentrated compounds to get the job done; these being Creatine Monohydrate, Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate, CarnoSyn Beta Alanine, Taurine, Caffeine Anhydrous, Methylhexaneamime, and Huperzine A. Sound like another language to you? Don't worry, a selection of these ingredients and their effects will be considered shortly.
Make no mistake, this ultra concentrated, super dosed supplement is going to hit you hard and fast. Just one scoop will prepare your body and mind for a pre-workout experience like no other. You can guarantee a combination of extreme raging energy, skin bursting pumps, freakish blood-engorged vascularity, tunnel-vision like mental focus and clarity coupled with record-shattering strength gains that will help propel your physique to new heights.
What more can you possibly want? This supplement does everything for you bar lifting the actual weights. It even comes with its own health warning informing individuals; this formula is not your typical pre-workout product. It may be way too strong for some individuals!
Let's breakdown a selection of these 7 super compounds which go to making Nutrex Research Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate a step ahead of the rest:
In no particular order, Nutrex Research Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate contains taurine. Taurine is an amazing muscle hydrator, making it a popular ingredient for both bodybuilders and endurance athletes. The last thing you want or need during an intense session is for your muscles to become dehydrated, taurine takes care of this.
Second up on the list, providing an energetic side to this supplement is Caffeine Anhydrous. The effects of caffeine are quite commonly reported and recognised, allowing that pre workout buzz and energy required to conquer the gym.
Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate is an essential amino acid which enhances the level of nitric oxide in the bloodstream. Nitric oxide dilates blood vessels, allowing an increased supply of oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to the working muscle. This has a dual benefit of allowing a greater intensity performance whilst also reducing recovery times.
Last but by no means least on our brief ingredients review, Nutrex Research Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate contains Creatine Monohydrate. Creatine feature heavily in the majority of all pre workout supplements due to its ability to enhance the production of ATP. ATP is the main fuel source for the body during high intensity workouts and is broken down in order to power the working muscles. This enhanced level of ATP allows a greater weight or repetitions to be achieved before exhaustion. Both of which are required for creating a growth response in muscle.
Nutrex Research Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate is likely to be stronger than any other pre workout supplement you've ever experienced so please follow directions for use strictly. Nutrex Research Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate directions for use: stir 1 scoop with approximately 4-5 ounces of cold water and consume 30 minutes prior to commencing exercise. Due to extreme potency of this supplement, it's highly recommended to assess tolerance by using a 1/3 scoop measurement serving before consuming full dose, especially if you are sensitive to stimulants. Nutrex Research Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate should only be used on training days and under no circumstances should you exceed the stated maximum dose.
As Nutrex Research Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate is a pre training energy supplement it does contain numerous stimulants which will cause focus and alertness. This is perfect for the gym setting but is not ideal when trying to sleep! Always consider your sleep pattern and avoid taking Nutrex Research Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate after 6pm if possible. If you can only train late at night then you may wish to reduce the serving size in order to allow rest and relaxation following your gym session, but again this will be dictated by personal preference and sleep patterns required.

allergic to an ingredient in suave naturals
i stopped using suave naturals (all flavors) in my hair because they were drying it out. so i decided to use them as shaving creams. my skin was irritated and inflamed like you wouldn't believe. i had noticed my scalp was dry and itchy as well after using the products. but i thought that was just the drying factor.
what ingredient could be causing this reaction? i used the aloe and waterlily to shave my legs.
Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Fragrance (Parfum), Distearyldimonium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Tocopheryl Acetate [Vitamin E Acetate], Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Propylene Glycol, Honeysuckle Extract, Methylisothiazolinone, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice [Aloe Vera]\, Yellow 5, Blue 1.
When Suave made me itch, I blamed the propylene glycol. I now avoid it in all my products, but who knows!
thanks. and thanks for sharing that glycol sensitive link! i did notice that ingredient was missing in the tres nats that i'm using now.
guess i have to do more research and talk to my allergist.
alternative names for propylene glycol
apparently, this chemical has several different names.
1,2-Dihydroxypropane; 2-Hydroxypropanol; Methylethy Glycol; 1,2-Propanediol; Propane-1,2-Diol.
Oooh, I hadn't read about these! Eek. :shock: This is why I'm sticking to all natural products lately... Not interested in getting a rash! Thanks for sharing, monipearl!

Attic venting
Ok, I'm sure someone will want to give me grief about putting this here, but I saw several threads about soffit venting, etc.
1950-esque vintage house w/ no eaves and no soffits, like this:
The roof has a ridge vent and louvered gable vents in two locations, one w/ a fan.
Now, it seems to me that the attic isn't going to expel hot air well in summertime because there isn't much in the way of venting for the air to draw through, and any air sealing I do will only exacerbate the problem. Having a gable vent fan running would just pull it in from the peak wouldn't it? At least it would interfere with any convection flow up-n-out the peak.
So, just commonsense (what little I might have) would suggest that the entire arrangement would benefit from additional air vented in lower to feed the existing ridge vent/fan. Am I correct in this? And what might be the most effective way to do that? Note I didn't say easiest, I am willing to consider more work or outside the box suggestions that would yield better results. I have been mulling over the thought of drawing air up from the crawlspace to feed cooler air to the attic, how loopy is that idea?
Thanks Sly, that's an interesting option I have never seen before. Looks like it would involve a considerable amount of work tearing and replacing the lower roof though.
It is a lot of work.
You can determine rather or not it's feasible to do now or later by inspecting your current/existing roof and determining it's remaining expected life span.
If it's a newer roof that you expect to be intact for many years to come than installing the lower roof intake ventilation is a good investment.
If it's an older roof that will need replaced in the near future then it would be more feasible to wait and have it installed at the time of the re-roof.
This [cobra -r- fascia flow -tm-] is a fairly new product, whose design I think makes more sense than the vents slotted into the decking 3+ feet from the eave.
Sweet, I knew people here would come up with answers. That might work better for my purposes since I plan on replacing sheathing and siding.
great timing I was just about to post a very simular question... mine is a 1 1/2 story 1940 bungalow and my roof ends with a flat board just like that. I haven't got to dig into the upstair crawl spaces to see what is there for sure yet but does any one have an idea what kind of vent system they might have been going for? Is air suppost to seep in where ever it can? As far as I can see there are 3 gable vents and thats it as far as roof venting. As you can guess the upstairs get really hot in the summer. When I re-shingle I plan on fixing the roof venting but I'm planning on doing some major insulating soon so how far out can I insulate? Typically your told to insulate all the way to the outside wall and not to block the soffit but since I don't have them where do I stop? Oh ya I currently get ice dams he really surprised my gutters haven't come down...
I just think that none of this was ever an issue back in the good ole days of house construction. Nothing was ever airtight enough, people had no AC and spent the summers outside in the shade and heat cost pennies. Now that we need to pinch those pennies it changes the whole equation.
I like the look of the Cobra FasciaFlow but then you have to attach the gutters to it, kinda wondering how that'll work out.
Read around the board Banana, there are several threads on related topics and some outstanding advice and suggestions here.
I like the look of the Cobra FasciaFlow but then you have to attach the gutters to it, kinda wondering how that'll work out.
You could use the hidden screw-in type of gutter hangers to augment the ferrules.
or you could go with a compact roof and no venting
I have a hip roof. What's the best ridge vent out there?

Exclusive: Romanian expert believes three artworks from Dutch heist destroyed
By Radu Marinas
BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romanian experts believe that three out of seven paintings stolen last year from a Dutch museum, a haul that included works by Picasso and Monet, have been destroyed by fire, the team's head told Reuters on Monday.
Their findings appeared to back testimony by the mother of a Romanian suspected of leading the robbery that she had burnt the paintings to protect her son as police closed in.
"We gathered overwhelming evidence that three (of the seven) paintings were destroyed by fire," said Gheorghe Niculescu, head of the team from Romania's National Research Investigation Center in Physics and Chemistry, which has been examining ashes found in the police investigation.
However, he could not say which of the seven paintings had been destroyed and did not explain how he was certain that the remains originated from works stolen from Rotterdam's Kunsthal museum last October, rather than other paintings.
Also among the stolen artworks, estimated to be worth tens of millions of euros, are pieces by Matisse, Gauguin, Lucien Freud and Meyer de Haan, a 19th century Dutch artist.
In one of the most dramatic art thefts for years, the thieves broke into the Kunsthal building, somehow evading its sophisticated alarm system. None of the seven works has been found.
Romanian police said this year that they had detained members of a gang they suspected of carrying out the robbery. Soon after, Olga Dogaru, the mother of the alleged ringleader, told prosecutors she had burned the paintings to destroy evidence that could incriminate her son.
Prosecutors said they did not know if Dogaru's testimony was true or a trick to throw investigators off the scent and could not reach any conclusions until experts had completed tests on ashes recovered from an oven at Dogaru's home. Continued...

Catching Up with Guard Josh Bartelstein
Following the success of last season's blog, junior guard Josh Bartelstein is back to give an inside look all season at the 2011-12 version of the Wolverines.
What is up everyone?!
The blog is back!
I had a great four-month vacation from writing, but it is time to get back at it. It seems like yesterday I was writing on the plane back from Charlotte, N.C., about what a special season we had. Four months later, so much has changed with Michigan basketball, and at the same time, our core had become even closer.
First up, Darius Morris got drafted by his hometown Lakers. We all were so happy for him and it is almost surreal to see a teammate and good friend make it to the NBA. Darius is in a perfect spot in L.A., and we all know he will do great things there.
The next bit of big basketball news of the summer came with Tim Hardaway Jr. Tim played for Team USA this summer and was a huge part of its run to a fifth-place finish in the FIBA World Championships. He was a major contributor on both ends of the court. We even noticed that because Tim has spent the last two summers in Europe, he has a little more "Euro Swag" to him. However, I am pretty sure we don't have to worry about Tim moving across the pond any time soon as the European way and him are not exactly one. We are just happy to have him back in Ann Arbor.
Everyone asks me what's going on with the construction. Well that is the next big change in A2, as Crisler Arena and the Player Development Center are under major construction. You can see how good they are going to look when they are done. There are plenty of cool construction photos on the Michigan Basketball Facebook page. Check them out!
It seemed like the construction crew just kept digging deeper and deeper into the ground without any progress, but now the PDC looks like a real building. From all that I have heard, there will be no better basketball facility in the country.
Every week we hear something new will be added in the PDC. It has taken on mythological proportions of its own -- from iPads to underwater treadmills to recently even a helicopter pad. Yes, that is what I said: a helicopter. Let's just say everything has been thrown in the rumor mill and is churning. As a team, we are all just excited to have a court to practice on.
With all the construction we have had to find different places to get ready and work out. As I have always said, what makes this place special is that all the sports here are really good at sharing without even blinking an eye. So our locker room is at the baseball facility, we lift at the wrestling center and we play basketball at the IM, the CCRB or the sports Coliseum. There will be a quiz later. The good thing about the IM is that it is literally 150 degrees in there every day so getting a good sweat is easy, just tie your shoes.
Summer basketball camps at Michigan will never change. Coach B loves having his camps and they are one of the special things the program does to reach out to kids. They have great instruction and most of the players get to coach a team.
I think Coach B just wants us to see how hard of a job he really has. Tim is very serious about his team and has a set offense. It surprisingly works. Corey (Person) lets his team "just play," which isn't surprising, and (Zack) Novak doesn't like losing (very surprising). Anyone who follows our team knows that was a joke. Really? Did you see the footage from Michigan State?
If you asked any of the kids what their favorite part of the camp was they will say the dunk tank. Travis (Conlan) and C.J. (Lee) had the brilliant idea of letting the campers throw balls at a dunk tank while we fell in the water. It feels good the first time, but after the 50th time it gets a little old. Despite being soaked to the bone, Jordan (Morgan), Evan (Smotrycz), Novak and I just kept sitting on the ledge and falling in. It turned out to be a blast. We have the pictures to prove it.
It feels really good to be back with all of you. I am looking forward to updating you again with the ins and outs of the season. I think I will write again in a week or two.
As always, if you have any questions send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Until next time take care and Go Blue!

It will take hard work and extra effort from the entire community, especially from parents, but there is hope that bullying can be reduced in Polk County. That's the message a panel featuring some of Polk's top officials gave Thursday night to a room of about 75 concerned parents and community members.
WINTER HAVEN | It will take hard work and extra effort from the entire community, especially from parents, but there is hope that bullying can be reduced in Polk County.
That's the message a panel featuring some of Polk's top officials gave Thursday night to a room of about 75 concerned parents and community members.
"There are no magic bullets because we are dealing with people, and everyone is different and every circumstance is different," Winter Haven Police Chief Gary Hester said. "But not to sound like a broken record, it does start at home and it does start with the socialization of that child since the day they're born."
The forum, "Bullying: A Search for Solutions," was sponsored by The Ledger and Polk Vision and followed a four-day series of articles that started Sunday.
Kevin Drake, publisher for the Ledger Media Group, introduced the forum, which was held at the Polk County Sheriff's Office Operations Center in Winter Haven.
The eight panelists — Polk Sheriff Grady Judd, Lakeland police school resource Sgt. Richard Rose, Winter Haven Police Chief Gary Hester, local psychologist and Ledger columnist Dr. Berney Wilkinson, Superintendent of Schools Kathryn LeRoy, Assistant Superintendent for Learning Support Nancy Woolcock, Jesse Keen Elementary School Principal Joe Griffin and Lake Gibson High School Principal Tami Dawson — each gave perspectives on Polk's bullying.
Ledger Media Group Editor Lenore Devore moderated the forum and thanked everyone in the room for taking a step toward ending bullying.
"I was delighted to see so many people come together to help find solutions to a problem affecting our youth," Devore said. "Our distinguished panelists shed light on various aspects of the problem and provided their thoughts on how we can work together to gain ground in combatting bullying."
Although the panelists offered differing thoughts, they agreed on two things: Children are the most important things in our lives, and parents play the most crucial role in ending this unwanted behavior.
The overwhelming idea that the panelists shared was that parents need to set good examples for their children, model the behavior they want to see and support their child by offering positive outlets for them to confide when they're upset.
Many of the panelists agreed that it can be difficult for children to talk with their parents about serious issues, but getting children involved with church groups, youth sports, a counselor — anywhere they feel safe — will help.
And it's vital for parents to know everything they can about their child, Judd said.
"The most important thing we can do as a parent is be all up in our children's business."
But just because a child is labeled a bully, doesn't mean there's bad parenting, Rose said. It takes effort, time and a level head to gather all information about why the child is acting out, and what steps parents should take to stop the behavior.
Precious Mills of Auburndale brought her 16-year-old daughter to the forum to get answers as to why her teen continues to be bullied — and what she as a parent should do.
She said it was helpful to learn the different steps the school takes and how law enforcement officers approach bullying complaints.
Micheisha Hayes, an 11th-grader at Auburndale High School, attended the forum with a teacher and classmates. She said the panel offered great insight from an official view, but she wished there would have been a student, too.
"They really don't know what's going on," she said. "Students keep it to themselves."
She said there needs to be a change in behavior among the students, officials and parents to start working toward putting a stop to bullying.
And with a lot of help from parents, more support for schools and an understanding of the children's feelings, bullying can be reduced.
"We've got to break that cycle, and we've got to be committed to it," Hester said. "And we're going to have to stand up for what we believe and be counted because if we sit silent along the wayside, we're still going to continue to see our kids deteriorate and our society deteriorate."

The 80-mile sweep of land known as the Côte d'Azur is a necklace of towns strung along a rocky coast. Sun-worn locals sip pastis while rubbing elbows with international boldfaced names; yachts share the docks with broken-down fishing boats; Rolls-Royces and Bentleys are considered "city cars"; and well-heeled ladies pedal rusty bicycles to market. The French Riviera means the casinos and cafés of Monte Carlo, Nice, and St.-Tropez, to be sure, but it also includes dozens of slow-paced villages wedged tightly between mountains and sea.
Traffic comes to a near standstill in the high season, July through August; however, it's possible even then to find a reasonably priced room with at least a few frills—a powdery beach, candles at turndown, a memorable meal. As temperatures drop at summer's end, so do the rates, but until they do, here's the best of the coast for less.
A playground for European nobility and the super-rich, Monte Carlo means the Grimaldis, the casino,
the Monaco Grand Prix (June 1), and limitless luxury. Grab a seat at the Café de Paris, order some
Veuve, and enjoy the show: couples in black tie strolling, coiffed blondes trolling, uniformed
chauffeurs in dark cars idling—and T-shirt-clad tourists loving the spectacle of it all.
HOTELS Monaco's Fontvieille neighborhood may be the town's business hub, but its Columbus hotel (23 Ave. des Papalins; 377/92-05-90-00; www.columbushotels.com; doubles from $250) takes leisure
seriously. Beige linen couches and lacquered wenge wood invite guests to linger in the lobby; earth
tones, leather couches, and Frette linens in the suites contribute to the understated grace. Laze
under an umbrella by the pool, or hop on a water taxi to a secluded nearby beach.
RESTAURANTS Alain Ducasse vowed he'd earn three Michelin stars in just three years at his restaurant Le Louis XV (Hôtel de Paris, Place du Casino; 377/92-16-29-76; www.alain-ducasse.com; prix fixe lunch for two $198). He did, becoming at 33 the youngest chef to earn haute cuisine's highest honor. Here, in a Versailles-style dining room, women's handbags rest on upholstered stools, vermeil Christofle silver pings softly against Limoges, and two people can easily spend $500 on dinner. So, come for lunch instead. The three-course prix fixe menu, with a starter (stuffed sardines or asparagus risotto), an entrée (peppered sea bass with Swiss chard), and a dessert runs $99 a person. • Around the corner from the Columbus, Stefano Frittella has been interpreting Italian classics for 15 years at La Salière (14 Quai Jean-Charles-Rey; 377/92-05-25-82; dinner for two $88). Antipasti are served tapas-style (crisp pizzas, eggplant parmigiana, lightly fried mozzarella), while main courses, such as veal Milanese or pappardelle with fresh tomato sauce, stick to the basics. • In La Turbie, a few miles above Monte Carlo, chef-owner Bruno Cirino runs Michelin-starred Hostellerie Jérôme (20 Rue Comte de Cessole; 33-4/92-41-51-51; prix fixe dinner for two $110). With a $35 prix fixe lunch on weekdays and a three-course $55 menu nightly, a meal in this vaulted 13th-century room is the best deal around. Order truffled risotto with lobster and cèpes, roasted cuttlefish with cannellini beans, and a country peach tart.
SHOPPING This season's pieces from top designers—Escada, Pucci, Prada—are slashed to Loehmann's prices at Stock Griffe (5Bis, Ave. St.-Michel; 377/93-50-86-06). The store is tiny (and so are the sizes), but the discounts can be huge, as much as 90 percent. Stop in often to peruse the older marked-down merchandise, or snap up the newest garments.
With its Italian flavor, the cobblestoned streets of the 17th-century Old Town, and palm-lined
Promenade des Anglais, Nice is an ideal base for exploring all of the Riviera. France's fifth-largest
city has world-class museums, a symphony and opera, high-end shopping, access to wide beaches, and a
battalion of gardeners who keep the greenery lush. Cars mire in traffic in summer, so ditch your rental and get around town on foot, or by cab or bus.
HOTELS A few blocks from the beach and the chic boutiques of Rue Paradis, Hôtel le Grimaldi (15 Rue Grimaldi; 33-4/93-16-00-24; www.le-grimaldi.com; doubles from $104) melds style (Provençal checks and Riviera stripes) with service and location. Request a view of the gabled Church of the Holy Spirit, which is lit dramatically at night.
RESTAURANTS L'Âne Rouge (7 Quai des Deux-Emmanuel; 33-4/93-89-49-63; www.anerougenice.com; prix fixe lunch for two $57), overlooking the Old Port, earned its first Michelin star last year. Chef Michel Devillers buys directly from local fishermen and can turn a simple langoustine into a lobster risotto with truffles. • At tiny, timbered L'Escalinada (22 Rue Pairolière; 33-4/93-62-11-71; dinner for two $44), owner Henri Cagnoli seems to know every one of his customers by name. They keep coming back for his eggplant and sardine beignets, Swiss chard-filled gnocchi, and pine-nut tourte de blette swimming in rum—not to mention Henri's convivial company. • Nadim Bérouti gave up a career in finance to pursue his passion for olive oil at Oliviera (8Bis Rue du Collet; 33-4/93-13-06-45; www.oliviera.com; dinner for two $55), where you can sample and buy 26 varieties of it. You can also choose among casual Mediterranean menu options, such as steak tartare with rich, garlicky potatoes. • At Fenocchio (2 Place Rossetti; 33-4/93-80-72-52), ice cream and sorbet come in unusual flavors: violet, lavender, ginger, olive, tomato-basil, fig, rose, and beer.
SHOPPING Not an inch of space is wasted at Nirvana (10 Rue du Collet; 33-4/93-62-65-88), a jewel box filled floor to ceiling with treasures from India and Asia. Wicker baskets sit by the entrance, ready to be loaded up with intricately beaded bracelets, necklaces, and jewel-toned cotton scarves and sarongs (most for less than $20).
MARKETPLACES Peruse the stalls and pack a picnic at the daily fruit, vegetable, and flower market on the Cours Saleya (6 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday). It's the easiest place to sample three traditional niçoise specialties: pissaladière (onion tart with olives), zucchini-blossom fritters, and the famous chickpea pancakes called socca (about $2 each). Once the sun sets, the booths are taken over by vendors peddling jewelry, artwork, and clothing while musicians and painters put on an open-air show. On Mondays, the Cours Saleya morphs into one of the best antiques markets in the south of France, with an endless array of period furniture, vintage jewelry, and collectible porcelain.
No European resort has gone through more popularity shifts than seductive St.-Tropez. It's sizzling
right now, so if you're looking for serenity, go somewhere else: streets and beaches are crowded, and
the port is cluttered with yachts. But while this former fishing village attracts a serious jet-set
crowd, there's a relaxed "anything goes" attitude to which visitors quickly succumb.
HOTELS The busy cafés and throngs of tourists roaming the port can make the Old Town overwhelming. A few blocks from all that—but worlds away, psychically—stands the Hôtel de la Ponche (3 Rue des Remparts; 33-4/94-97-02-53, www.laponche.com; doubles from $165), occupying a group of cottages in the
fishing neighborhood of La Ponche. The rooms have a restrained elegance, with hand-painted furniture,
pristine matelassé bedcovers, and marble baths; some have views over the rooftops. • South Pacific meets the south of France at the Hôtel Tahiti Beach (Quartier du Pinet, Ramatuelle; 33-4/94-97-18-02; www.tahiti-beach.com; doubles from $138), where Polynesian statues stand guard at the entrance and a wilderness of orange-and-white-striped chaise longues populate the beach. Slip off your chair and up to the bar, sandy feet and all; then treat yourself to an alfresco pedicure at the hotel spa. • If you prefer the action of the port, stay at the 28-room Hôtel Sube (Quai Suffren, 33-4/94-97-30-04; doubles
from $99). Besides its seaside location, the Sube has an artistic pedigree: Raoul Dufy was a regular
for more than 30 years.
RESTAURANTS At the dining room of the restaurant at Hôtel de la Ponche (33-4/94-97-02-53; dinner for two $55), the aroma of shallots caramelizing, mushrooms sautéeing, and butter melting wafts through the air. Chef Christian Geay prepares Provençal dishes, such as roast pork with rosemary, rabbit with mustard sauce, and duck breast with figs, while customers gaze out to sea. • Fresh fish is wheeled up from the port and grilled with simplicity at Le Girelier (Quai Jean-Jaurès; 33-4/94-97-03-87; dinner for two $88). Regulars order the poutargue de cabillaud, or cod roe, followed by the morning's catch. • Late in the afternoon, slide into one of the scarlet chairs at Le Sénéquier (Quai Jean-Jaurès;
33-4/94-97-00-90), the town's most revered pâtisserie, for coffee and a creamy tarte Tropézienne. • After sunset, join the evening revelers in line at the Crêperie Grand Marnier (10 Rue des Remparts; 33-4/94-97-07-29; crêpes about $3 each). White-toqued chefs wrap orange-flavored pancakes around chocolate or cherries; it stays open until 2 a.m.
SHOPPING Clemenceau Street is lined with one-of-a-kind boutiques chockablock with clothes, jewelry,
linens, and tableware, and everything's priced to sell. A must-stop shop: Au Ribier (36 Rue
Clemenceau; 33-4/94-97-10-88), for red-lacquered serving pieces crafted from compressed bamboo (from
$20). • A few streets over from Clemenceau, Le Dépôt (5 Rue Quaranta; 33-4/94-97-80-10) sells secondhand designer clothes and handbags from Chanel, Hermès, Gaultier, and Moschino. Some items still have their original tags, and prices are so low, shoppers often suffer from sticker shock—in the best way.
This month, hordes of Hollywood types descend upon Cannes to attend its annual film festival. But
there's action here year-round, on and off the Croisette. To avoid it, stay at the 24-room Villa de
l'Olivier (5 Rue des Tambourinaires; 33-4/93-39-53-28; www.hotelolivier.com; doubles from $135). Built 118 years ago as a private residence, it sits on a quiet street. Then make the pilgrimage to Roger Vergé's Le Moulin de Mougins (Ave. Notre Dame de Vie, Mougins; 33-4/93-75-78-24; www.moulin-mougins.com; prix fixe lunch for two $96; doubles from $154). This 16th-century olive mill has a shop, a world-famous cooking school, and a small inn, but it's the restaurant—serving tuna carpaccio with eggplant caviar, lamb chops with olive polenta, fig-and-raspberry shortcake—that draws food lovers from around the world.
The French Riviera Museum Pass (33-4/97-03-82-20; www.cmca.net; $11-30) grants entry to as many as 65 museums, including the Matisse and the Chagall in Nice, and the Picasso in Antibes. The Nice Museum Pass (sold at museums; $6) gives unlimited seven-day access to the town's galleries; they're free, however, on the first and third Sundays of every month.
For a group or family—or a stay longer than a few days—a villa rental can be the best
bargain. New York Habitat VLF (212/255-8018; www.nyhabitat.com) lists around 300 Riviera dwellings, from small studios to rambling villas. Weekly rentals in high season range from $440 for a studio on the Old Harbor in Nice to $4,753 for a four-bedroom, three-bathroom Antibes villa. For good value, reserve Habitat's three-bedroom, two-bath villa (with a pool) near Mougins for $2,743. Wimco (800/932-3222; www.wimco.com), another Riviera specialist, has 100 villas, all between St.-Tropez and Èze. A five-bedroom, five-bath villa overlooking Cannes goes for $5,750 per week in July and August. Chefs, car rentals, massage, yoga instruction, and nannies can also be arranged by Wimco.

Travis Cheeseman, a 31 year old male from Bloomington, IND. asks on October 23, 2004,Ok, this is my project: I have put roughly two cups of rice in a sock and threw it in the microwave for four and a half minutes, it kept its warmth for roughly two hours. Do you know of anything that is as cheap and safe, but will hold heat longer then that!!
viewed 15384 times
One way to hold heat for a long time is to use a material with a high specific heat. The specific heat of rice is about 1.8 kJ/kg.K. Pearl barley is better, with a specific heat of about 2.8 kJ/kg.K, and buckwheat is better still, at 3.2-3.8 kJ/kg.K. (Water has a specific heat of 4.2 kJ/kg.K.).
To do much better than this, you would need to use a material that changed state from solid to liquid at about the temperature that you want to maintain. You proabably won't find such a material in your kitchen, but physiotherapy stores may carry packets of a specially formulated gel that changes state at a little above body temperature, for use in heat treatment of sprains. This gel can stay hot longer than rice, since it stores the latent heat associated with its change from solid to liquid in addition to the heat associated with its elevated temperature.

PetMatch Searches For Adoptable Pets That Look Just Like Your Old Ones
A new service uses visual-recognition technology to pair potential owners with their ideal four-legged friends.
Looking to adopt a cat or dog that resembles your deceased companion – or one who resembles an internet meme? Thanks to the wonders of 'machine vision' – the automatic collection and analysis of visual data – there's now an app for that. PetMatch is the first app from Israel- and Palo Alto-based Superfish, a $20 million-funded startup devoted to extracting meaning from images, and promisingly, it's for a good cause. The platform uses information and images from PetFinder to get pets adopted. "Many of the folks at Superfish are pet lovers," said spokeswoman Liz Scanlon. "In fact there are several dogs in the office every day running around."
You can use any image of an animal, even the outlandish likenesses of internet memes like Doge and Grumpy Cat. If you're a new pet owner or fresh out of ideas, the app even has a set of stock images for you to choose from. Superfish then does a geometrical analysis of whatever image you choose, analyzing the distance between the animal's facial features, as well as the shape of its eyes, mouth or face as a whole. Coat color is also a factor, with a search for 'Doge' turning up similarly orange animals. A weirdly angled photo can throw the app off, but it's perfect if you're looking for a mutt with that certain je ne sais quoi. Pet results can be arranged by similarity or location – helpful if you're looking to adopt a pet who doesn't have to be driven across state lines.
So how does Superfish turn a profit? Not through apps like this, which sadly cannot solicit fees in the form of rubs around the legs and soft licks on the nose. Instead, Superfish, which has been around since 2006, has a browser extension and iOS app that allows its 100 million monthly users to find similar-looking inanimate products – and generates a healthy profit. Apps for a good cause like PetMatch will soon join more pedestrian ones that can find matched pictures of jewelry and furniture.
Visual search services are becoming a hot commodity in Silicon Valley, with Slyce, a comparison-shopping service that also offers visual recognition, raising $10.5 million this year, and Pinterest buying VisualGraph, another company that has invested resources in machine vision services. But what other company can say they'll help hundreds if not thousands of puppies and kitties? Maybe Colenso BBDO's project for the Pedigree Adoption Drive Doggelganger, which now appears to be offline.
However, there's more to the relationship between humans and pets than appearance; maybe the next step is an app that intuitively pairs us based on personality and habits.

The Japanese central bank has refrained from promising more stimulus for the world's third-largest economy despite equity and bond market turbulence in recent weeks.
The Bank of Japan said the rise in Tokyo's long-term bond yields since the beginning of the year was yet to pose any threat to the economy's recovery prospects. The decision helped to send the Nikkei share index down by 1.45%, following yesterday's 4.9% gain.
SoftBank raises bid for Sprint to $21.6bn
Softbank, the Japanese mobile operator controlled by billionaire Masayoshi Son, has upped its offer for US firm Sprint to $21.6 billion (£13.9 billion) in a bidding war with rival billionaire Charlie Ergen's Dish Network.
Son has won the backing of Sprint's board and second-largest investor Paulson & Co. He wants to expand SoftBank in America, where Sprint is the third largest mobile player behind Verizon Wireless.

'Tis the Season for Charitable Giving
December 14, 2012
THE TALK... | Management
Every business owner knows that a successful corporate social responsibility strategy can do a lot for both your business and your community. During the holiday season, especially, many businesses put an emphasis on finding ways to give back, either by supporting a national cause such as Toys for Tots or by acting more locally and contributing to a local nonprofit or family in need.
The holidays are a great time to enlist both employees and customers to get involved by appealing to the general feelings of generosity and good will that seem to permeate the atmosphere during November and December every year. However, a true CSR strategy involves much more than just aligning your business with a cause during the holiday season and writing a check.
At Power, one of our major priorities is identifying philanthropic and community relations opportunities that are not only in line with our overall mission, but that strike a chord with our employees, inspiring them to get involved all year long. Since founding the company 20 years ago, we've contributed time and money to organizations such as YouthBuild USA and Habitat For Humanity, among several other smaller organizations looking for sponsors for anything from youth baseball teams to races for various charities.
In 2011, we were given the opportunity to make an even bigger contribution to an important cause when we became a National Corporate Sponsor for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a leading organization dedicated to pediatric cancer research. Our annual commitment to this foundation includes the promise of one dollar per window, per square foot of siding and per square foot of roofing installed throughout the year, as well as related initiatives, such as Power Month for Alex's, a company-wide, month-long initiative aimed at raising money, and awareness, in each of the markets Power does business.
Making the decision to make charitable giving a priority throughout the year can be a daunting endeavor for any business. Here's a few recommendations for how to make sure your CSR strategy achieves more for your business than just the warm and fuzzy reaction elicited by doing a good deed during the holidays:
- Make your employees a part of the decision. In an era when free time feels exceedingly scarce, and in an industry where the traditional work week often creeps into the weekend, even employees with the best intentions can feel reluctant to give up free time to volunteer, especially if they don't feel connected to the cause. Take a survey or ask around the office to ensure the charity you choose is one that resonates with the majority and compels more employees to take interest.
- Offer incentives, in addition to volunteer opportunities. Power Month included volunteer opportunities for our 1,200 employees, such as hosting lemonade stands in the office and at home, as well as special events like Power Night at the Philadelphia Union's PPL Park, where we hosted employees, their families, and several Alex "Hero" families at a tailgate and in our suite to watch a Major League Soccer game. Employees that raised the most money for the foundation were also awarded individual cash prizes they could keep or donate back to the charity. By creating a balance of time spent volunteering with time relaxing alongside coworkers and family members, we were able to both increase participation and thank our employees for sharing in our commitment.
- Spread the word among employees and customers. Implementing a charitable outreach program, no matter the size, can foster feelings of loyalty and pride among employees and customers alike—provided they are aware of the company's commitment to the project. Utilize tools like blogs, social media and customer communications to spread the message to your audience and you'll likely ensure a greater level of participation, ultimately increasing both the final donation amount and the pride everyone feels from supporting a business that gives back.
Perhaps most importantly, set a realistic goal for yourself and your company when embarking on your first charitable outreach initiative. It's OK to start small and work toward growing the program each year, especially if that means making manageable and sustainable contributions throughout the year, not just during the holiday season.

He could have simply driven away.
Idaho Statesman, Thursday 20 August 2009
BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho Republican Party leader who helped oust the state GOP chairman in 2008 faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after an altercation escalated while he photographed a home with a delinquent mortgage.
Challis McAffee, 33, the GOP chairman from the Boise suburb of Garden City and one of 231 voting members of the Idaho Republican Central Committee, was in Ada County jail after being accused of pointing a gun at the homeowner.
McAffee works for a contractor hired by Wells Fargo & Co. to document the condition of homes where mortgages are past due or in foreclosure.
McAffee, a backer of libertarian-leaning former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul and an activist in this year's anti-big-government "Tea Party" protests, helped organize Paul backers who aligned at last June's Idaho State Republican Convention in Sandpoint with other foes of then-state GOP Chairman Kirk Sullivan. Sullivan was voted from office in favor of Norm Semanko.
According to police in the Boise suburb of Meridian, resident Robert Lutes called officers just before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to report McAffee had pointed a .357 Magnum handgun at him during a verbal confrontation. McAffee acknowledged he pointed the gun at Lutes, according to the police account.
"I'm unarmed, I'm an old man," Lutes, 51, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I'm trying to find out why he's taking pictures of my house. I said, 'Knock on my door, let me know what you want.' Then, I think he's reaching for his business card and he pulls out a concealed weapon and I think he's going to blow my head off."
Lutes said the gun was beneath a cloth on the floor of the passenger side of McAffee's vehicle.
The Idaho Republican Party said the arrest of one of its southwestern Idaho leaders was a "personal matter."
"It's not a party matter," said Jonathan Parker, state GOP director in Boise.
McAffee couldn't immediately be reached in jail.
Ryan Davidson, another Paul supporter who has gained attention by pushing pro-marijuana voter initiatives in the central Idaho town of Hailey, said McAffee told him a different version of the altercation in a phone call from jail:
Lutes confronted McAffee, becoming increasingly hostile, Davidson said. When Lutes struck McAffee's Ford Escort with his hand, McAffee brandished the weapon to de-escalate the conflict, Davidson said.
"Challis is one of the most mild-mannered, good-natured guys," Davidson said. "The conversation wasn't going anywhere, the guy smacked the car window. At that point, he (McAffee) felt threatened enough, he picked up the firearm in front of the seat that he carries for protection. The nature of the job is, you're going to run into some unhappy people."
Davidson has sent messages via Ron Paul e-mail lists in hopes of collecting the $50,000 needed to post bail for McAffee, whose arrest was originally reported in the Idaho Statesman.
"There will certainly be a lot of work to do on this case in order to help clear Challis' good name, but right now, the most pressing concern is to get Challis out of jail," Davidson wrote.
Tony Schewmaker, the Wells Fargo contractor who hired McAffee, knew him through libertarian-leaning groups such as We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education.
Schewmaker objected to the $50,000 bond, saying the steep figure resulted from 4th District Magistrate Judge Kevin Swain's objections to the weapon. Schewmaker also keeps a handgun in his vehicle, in particular for business in isolated, rural areas.
"Apparently, we can't use a gun in our own protection," Schewmaker told the AP. "You can have it to look pretty. But if somebody is attempting to attack you, you can't pull it out of the holster. That's what I'm gathering from this."
After a call from the AP, Wells Fargo spokeswoman Julia Tunis Bernard in San Francisco said the company would look into the incident.
Meanwhile, Lutes, who concedes he's fallen behind on mortgage payments, said he may hire a lawyer to pursue a civil complaint against the bank, McAffee, and Schewmaker's company.
"The contractor is liable, he (McAffee) is liable and Wells Fargo is liable," Lutes said. "He wouldn't have been there if it wouldn't have been for Wells Fargo strong-arming people."
