No Buffett Rule for OBY who paid less taxes than me
After lobbying Congress for months to pass the Buffett Rule, ie, higher
taxes for the rich, OBY cheated on his own system by claiming charitable contributions
to reduce his tax rates.
Warren Buffett said OBY doesn't qualify for the Buffett Rule this year.
One has to earn $1M to qualify for it. OBY came just under that
amount at $789,000 plus change. That's because he claimed 25% of his
income to charities so this brought it under $1M. Buffett probably influenced him on
that following another Buffett Rule - give your money away.
As a result of giving that money away, OBY ended up paying less taxes than his secretary and his VP, Joe Biden who paid 23% to taxes and less than me who paid close to 34% on a fixed income.
There will always be loop holes no matter what these DEMs propose as for
raising taxes.
BTW, OBY made over $5M in 2009 and $1M in 2010 before the Buffett
Rule talk and even if the Buffett Rule is passed, millionaires need not worry cause
there's still plenty of loop holes for them to hide their millions.
So it's business as usual. The tax codes will protect the very rich and the very poor
while those of us in between will pay for everything. The Tax Code definitely needs to
be fixed but this BR does not fix it. I understand OBY pimping it. He has a campaign to
run and has nothing to run on. He has no record. The Buffett Rule is perhaps his last
chance at something.
There's a lot of hypocrisy to these liberals like Buffett who says he should pay more
taxes but the bill containing his name still has loop holes for him to hide in.
He gave Goldman Sachs his own buyout when the market crashed in 2008 by buying
10% of the company. However, after Sachs got its money back after TARP was issued
they got the SEC to approve their buyout Buffett's shares back.
He made $1.4M PR DAY.
Buffett said if it took US armed forces 10 years to find Osama Ben Laden, it will take Goldman
Sachs longer to find me. He finally sent his investors a letter saying the gravey train just
stopped in ref to that $1.4M pr day. He bought one of the country's largest furniture
companies from a little old lady for $55M. It was worth $100M. She said he charmed her
into it.
And more hyprocisy. Buffett was the one who influenced OBY in not signing the Keystone
Pipeline bill. The only other alternative to get Canada's oil down to Texas is to ship it by
rail. Buffett owns the rail road that would ship it. A pipe would cost just a fraction of
shipping by rail plus a pipe would create about 20,000 jobs but Buffett used his
influence to stop it. He would have made billions more. And you thought it was the
environmentalists OBY caved in to. Brutal, just brutal.
His number 1 rule was never get into debt and he never did. When his daughter Susy asked
for a $30,000 loan to enlarge her kitchen he declined. His son Peter said the children get
none of the money from his will and why should we he says. Buffett says it isn't fair.
The bulk goes to Bill Gates foundation to feed 3rd world countries.
A great book to read is MAKING OF A CAPITALIST BY LOWENSTEIN.

Re: No Buffett Rule for OBY who paid less taxes than me
And on one more personal note, does anyone remember Hoschild Kohn Dept store in Bmore
back in the 50s and 60s? I got my first job as a kid working there in the shoe dept as a stock
boy. Worked all thru high school there. It was a great job for a teen and between that and
cutting lawns I had more money than any of my friends and bought a car in high school.
Well, that store was one of Buffett's earliest acquisitions in the 60s. After he bought it he
disbanded it and passed the assets to his partners. I was in college working down the
point by then but I would have lost a job, as everyone still working there did, if he bought it just two years before.
Brutal, just brutal and SCREW HIM!
Re: No Buffett Rule for OBY who paid less taxes than me
Re: No Buffett Rule for OBY who paid less taxes than me
You missed all the times I said I might not vote for him. I'm not voting for someone unless I
believe in him and Romney has lied so much I don't believe a damn thing he says but Anybody
will be better than OBY who will finish destroying the country with a second term.
You don't have much room to discuss unemployment Galen with OBY refusing the
Keystone Pipeline and thus denying jobs for 20,000 Americans and he even said we need
this TARP buyout to keep unemployment from reaching 9%. It went to 10% after TARP.
Also, throw in the 5 big coal plants that shut down (there's a least 106 on his hit list) with all those workers because of OBYs
pleadged destruction of the coal industry and it gets even worse with many more to come
as he continues to destroy the coal industry.
Pot meet kettle.

LONG BEACH - When Royal Clark assaulted and murdered Gail Long's 14-year-old daughter, it left "a hole in my heart that will never be filled."
That was Long's statement to Clark in court Thursday, when he was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to the 1989 murder.
Clark did not look at Long, who stood about 15 feet from the man who murdered her daughter, Wilson High School sophomore Danielle Marie Haddon.
The trauma caused by the death of her daughter more than 22 years ago has not lessened over time, Long said.
Long's mother and her daughter's father also struggled with the grief until their deaths in 2009 and 2005, respectively.
But Long was not entirely alone as she faced her daughter's killer.
With her was Kit Farkas, the mother of 15-year-old Laurie Farkas, a Fresno High School teen who was killed by Clark in 1991, less than two years after Danielle's murder.
Had it not been for DNA evidence, which was found by Long Beach Police Department's Cold Case Homicide Unit, Danielle's murder may never have been solved.
Outside of court, the two moms said they never would have dreamed they would one day share the same crushing grief as they tried to look into the face of the man who caused such devastation.
Their wish that he never walk free was granted Thursday by Long Beach Superior Court Judge Judith Meyer.
Clark avoided a possible death sentence by pleading guilty last week to all counts in Danielle's murder. He was already serving time on San Quentin's Death Row for Lauries' murder and attempted sexual assault, as well as the attempted murder of Farkas' best friend, Angie Higgins, 14, in the Fresno area.
As part of last week's plea, Clark admitted to using an electrical cord to strangle Danielle on the night of Oct. 30, 1989, in her grandmother's Long Beach home.
He also waived all rights to appeal the sentence.
"Mr. Clark, when you killed my only child, it hurt me deeply," Long said. "You destroyed so many lives that you deserve the death penalty."
The 50-year-old kept his head down while his attorney - Public Defender Jennifer Friedman - shielded him from a media camera. Friedman tried to have cameras barred from the sentencing, but was denied that motion.
Outside the courtroom, Farkas said Clark was much more disruptive in his 1992 trial, using his handcuffs and even a chair in an effort to block his face.
Though Farkas did not know about Danielle's murder at the time of her daughter's killing, she said she always believed Clark had killed others.
Her belief, shared by prosecutors and police, was based in part on his criminal past, which included the attempted murders of his sister and her friend, and the near killing of another man whose throat Clark slit during a robbery aboard a train.
The killings of Danielle and Laurie shared many similarities. Both girls were in their early teens, both were assaulted in the same manner, and both - as well as Angie, the friend who survived - were strangled.
Angie testified Clark did not rape her or Laurie, though he tried. She detailed the hours of abuse they suffered, with both of them tied to a toilet at the Lost Lakes Recreation Area, before each girl was choked with a rope and then dumped on desolate highways, one in Madera County and one in a rural area of Fresno county.
Clark had curled Laurie's body into a fetal position placed her in the middle of the road so that she would be hit by a car, Farkas said.
Since he thought Angie was already dead, he threw her from his Datsun 210. That likely saved her life, according to hospital staff, as the motion of her hitting and ground and rolling got her heart beating again and loosened the rope around her neck.
When she came to in the hospital, with her head swollen more than twice its size, she was able to say three words: "Laurie, Roy, cousin."
Laurie's cousin was Clark's girlfriend, and she was expecting her third child with Clark at the time of Laurie's murder. He had been welcomed into Laurie's home by her parents, she said.
Clark was on the phone with Laurie's father, asking about a Super Bowl party, when detectives told the victim's dad to keep Clark on the line as they raced over to his house.
"When they got there he had the bucket and the rope," and other items used in the slaying in his garage, Farkas said.
Both her ex and Angie chose not attend Thursday's sentencing, due to the emotional trauma.
Farkas said Angie will never be able to have children due to her injuries, and the scars still remain.
Even Clark's former girlfriend, Laurie's cousin, has found it difficult to keep up with the cases.
"She doesn't want to know details, she just wants him to get the maximum punishment he deserves," Farkas explained.
All three asked Farkas to give their love and condolences to Long.
The Long Beach mother said she had hoped, even after all these years, that her daughter's killer would be found.
"I remember they said there were a lot of fingerprints, a lot of evidence, so I wasn't surprised," when detectives called her last year, she said.
She recalled coming home on Oct. 31, 1989, and finding police tape blocking her path and officers everywhere. Danielle had been home alone, doing homework and talking to a friend on the phone, when she answered a knock at the door the previous night.
The next morning, Danielle's grandmother found her dead in her bed.
"I had just paid to have her hair done," Long said Thursday, gazing at a picture of her smiling daughter, who wore her long strawberry blonde hair permed into spiral curls.
In another coincidence, one of the LBPD Homicide Detectives assigned to review Danielle's cold murder case grew up in the Fresno area and lived there when the Farkas murder occurred.
"It's like (Danielle and Laurie) were up there working to bring us all together," Detective Todd Johnson said.
"I wouldn't be surprised," Farkas added with a smile.
Long chimed in and that she too believes both girls are in heaven, looking down on their moms.
"And they can both rest now, now that he's gone for good," she said.

TopShop's Newest TopMan Collection Ensures Wearers Will Never See A Vagina
Rarely does TopShop do anything egregiously wrong — on the women's side of its operation, at least. But on the men's side? Well, there's a reason why TopMan is lagging far behind its female counterpart in sales and hype. You can see what I mean by taking a look at TopMan's latest offerings — a smattering of '80s-inspired jam shorts and football tops styled in the most incomprehensible ways. It's not simply that the clothes themselves are unfortunate — it's that TopMan seems to think that its clients want to model themselves after nerdy gradeschoolers. As far as I can tell, that's not a recipe for success. But go ahead, take a look for yourself and tell us what you think.

Elie Wiesel
(Redirected from Wiesel, Elie)
Elie Wiesel (30 September 1928 – 2 July 2016) was a writer, professor at Boston University, political activist, Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor.
- They called him Moishe the Beadle, as if his entire life he had never had a surname.
- Night (1960)
- Time does not heal all wounds; there are those that remain painfully open.
- A Jew Today (1978)
- Some writings could sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the quality of deeds.
- A statement of 1968, as quoted in "How And Why I Write: An Interview with Elie Wiesel" by Heidi Anne Walker, in Journal of Education, Vol. 162 (1980), p. 57
- Variants:
- Some words are deeds.
- Souls on Fire : Portraits and Legends of Hasidic Masters (1982)
- Words can sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the quality of deeds.
- As quoted in "Nobelists, Auschwitz, and Survival" by Robert McAfee Brown, in Christianity and Crisis, Vol. 48 (7 March 1988), p. 58
- If you ask me what I want to achieve, it's to create an awareness, which is already the beginning of teaching.
- In a 1978 interview with John S. Friedman, published in The Paris Review 26 (Spring 1984); and in Elie Wiesel : Conversations (2002) edited by Robert Franciosi, p. 85
- What I don't like today is, to put it coarsely, the phony Hasidism, the phony mysticism. Many students say, "Teach me mysticism." It's a joke.
- In a 1978 interview with John S. Friedman, published in The Paris Review 26 (Spring 1984); and in Elie Wiesel : Conversations (2002) edited by Robert Franciosi, p. 86
- Miracles in mysticism don't occupy such an important place. It's metaphor, for the peasants, for the crowds, to impress people. What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically. You plunge into it. Philosophy is a slow process of logic and logical discourse: A bringing B bringing C and so forth. In mysticism you can jump from A to Z. But the ultimate objective is the same. It's knowledge. It's truth.
- In a 1978 interview with John S. Friedman, published in The Paris Review 26 (Spring 1984); and in Elie Wiesel : Conversations (2002) edited by Robert Franciosi, p. 87
- I rarely speak about God. To God yes. I protest against Him. I shout at Him. But open discourse about the qualities of God, about the problems that God imposes, theodicy, no. And yet He is there, in silence, in filigree.
- In a 1978 interview with John S. Friedman, published in The Paris Review 26 (Spring 1984); and in Elie Wiesel : Conversations (2002) edited by Robert Franciosi, p. 87

- Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil.
- US News & World Report (27 October 1986)
- The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of beauty is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, but indifference between life and death.
- US News & World Report (27 October 1986)
- Whenever an angel says "Be not afraid!" you'd better start worrying. A big assignment is on the way.
- As quoted in Spirituality and Liberation : Overcoming the Great Fallacy (1988) by Robert McAfee Brown, p. 136
- From time immemorial, people have talked about peace without achieving it. Do we simply lack enough experience? Though we talk peace, we wage war. Sometimes we even wage war in the name of peace. . . . War may be too much a part of history to be eliminated—ever.
- As quoted in "Is World Peace on the Horizon?", in The Watchtower (15 April 1991)
- No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.
- "Have You Learned The Most Important Lesson Of All?", published in Parade Magazine (24 May 1992)
- I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.
- As quoted in the International Herald Tribune (15 September 1992)
- An immoral society betrays humanity because it betrays the basis for humanity, which is memory. An immoral society deals with memory as some politicians deal with politics. A moral society is committed to memory: I believe in memory. The Greek word alethia means Truth, Things that cannot be forgotten. I believe in those things that cannot be forgotten and because of that so much in my work deals with memory... What do all my books have in common? A commitment to memory.
- "Building a Moral Society", Chamberlin Lecture at Lewis & Clark College (1995)
- Close your eyes and listen. Listen to the silent screams of terrified mothers, the prayers of anguished old men and women. Listen to the tears of children. Jewish children, a beautiful little girl among them, with golden hair, whose vulnerable tenderness has never left me. Look and listen as they walk towards dark flames so gigantic that the planet itself seemed in danger.
- From an address given at Auschwitz in occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Holocaust (27 January 1995)
- The duty of the survivor is to bear testimony to what happened . . . You have to warn people that these things can happen, that evil can be unleashed. Race hatred, violence, idolatries—they still flourish.
- As quoted in "Will Hatred Ever End?", in The Watchtower (15 June 1995)
- What is abnormal is that I am normal. That I survived the Holocaust and went on to love beautiful girls, to talk, to write, to have toast and tea and live my life — that is what is abnormal.
- After being asked "What does it take to be normal again, after having your humanity stripped away by the Nazis?" in an interview in O : The Oprah Magazine (November 2000)
- When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude.
- Interview in O : The Oprah Magazine (November 2000)
- For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.
- Interview in O : The Oprah Magazine (November 2000)
- I had anger but never hate. Before the war, I was too busy studying to hate. After the war, I thought, What's the use? To hate would be to reduce myself.
- Interview in O : The Oprah Magazine (November 2000)
- In Jewish history there are no coincidences.
- Interview in the BU Bridge (5 November 2004)
- I believe mysticism is a very serious endeavor. One must be equipped for it. One doesn't study calculus before studying arithmetic. In my tradition, one must wait until one has learned a lot of Bible and Talmud and the Prophets to handle mysticism. This isn't instant coffee. There is no instant mysticism.
- The most important question a human being has to face... What is it? The question, Why are we here?
- It's up to you now, and we shall help you — that my past does not become your future.
- Speech at the UN World Peace Day (21 September 2006) New York, Speech in UN Webcast (00:16:35)
- When a Jew visits Jerusalem for the first time, it is not the first time; it is a homecoming.
- There are victories of the soul and spirit. Sometimes, even if you lose, you win.
- Attributed in The Little Book of Romanian Wisdom (2011) edited by Diana Doroftei and Matthew Cross
Nobel acceptance speech (1986)[edit]
- No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from the kingdom of night.
- I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
- As long as one dissident is in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long as one child is hungry, our lives will be filled with anguish and shame. What all these victims need above all is to know that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their voices are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while their freedom depends on ours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs."
Hope, Despair, and Memory (1986)[edit]
- Just as man cannot live without dreams, he cannot live without hope. If dreams reflect the past, hope summons the future.
- A recollection. The time: After the war. The place: Paris. A young man struggles to readjust to life. His mother, his father, his small sister are gone. He is alone. On the verge of despair. And yet he does not give up. On the contrary, he strives to find a place among the living. He acquires a new language. He makes a few friends who, like himself, believe that the memory of evil will serve as a shield against evil; that the memory of death will serve as a shield against death.
- Waking among the dead, one wondered if one was still alive. And yet real despair only seized us later. Afterwards. As we emerged from the nightmare and began to search for meaning.
- It seemed as impossible to conceive of Auschwitz with God as to conceive of Auschwitz without God. Therefore, everything had to be reassessed because everything had changed. With one stroke, mankind's achievements seemed to have been erased. Was Auschwitz a consequence or an aberration of "civilization"? All we know is that Auschwitz called that civilization into question as it called into question everything that had preceded Auschwitz. Scientific abstraction, social and economic contention, nationalism, xenophobia, religious fanaticism, racism, mass hysteria. All found their ultimate expression in Auschwitz.
- For us, forgetting was never an option. Remembering is a noble and necessary act. The call of memory, the call to memory, reaches us from the very dawn of history. No commandment figures so frequently, so insistently, in the Bible. It is incumbent upon us to remember the good we have received, and the evil we have suffered.
- Of course some wars may have been necessary or inevitable, but none was ever regarded as holy. For us, a holy war is a contradiction in terms. War dehumanizes, war diminishes, war debases all those who wage it. The Talmud says, "Talmidei hukhamim marbin shalom baolam" (It is the wise men who will bring about peace). Perhaps, because wise men remember best.
- How are we to reconcile our supreme duty towards memory with the need to forget that is essential to life? No generation has had to confront this paradox with such urgency. The survivors wanted to communicate everything to the living: the victim's solitude and sorrow, the tears of mothers driven to madness, the prayers of the doomed beneath a fiery sky.
- After the war we reassured ourselves that it would be enough to relate a single night in Treblinka, to tell of the cruelty, the senselessness of murder, and the outrage born of indifference: it would be enough to find the right word and the propitious moment to say it, to shake humanity out of its indifference and keep the torturer from torturing ever again.
- We thought it would be enough to tell of the tidal wave of hatred which broke over the Jewish people for men everywhere to decide once and for all to put an end to hatred of anyone who is "different" — whether black or white, Jew or Arab, Christian or Moslem — anyone whose orientation differs politically, philosophically, sexually.
- We tried. It was not easy. At first, because of the language; language failed us. We would have to invent a new vocabulary, for our own words were inadequate, anemic. And then too, the people around us refused to listen; and even those who listened refused to believe; and even those who believed could not comprehend. Of course they could not. Nobody could. The experience of the camps defies comprehension.
- If someone had told us in 1945 that in our lifetime religious wars would rage on virtually every continent, that thousands of children would once again be dying of starvation, we would not have believed it. Or that racism and fanaticism would flourish once again, we would not have believed it.
- Terrorism must be outlawed by all civilized nations — not explained or rationalized, but fought and eradicated. Nothing can, nothing will justify the murder of innocent people and helpless children.
- Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair. I remember the killers, I remember the victims, even as I struggle to invent a thousand and one reasons to hope.
- There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. The Talmud tells us that by saving a single human being, man can save the world.
- None of us is in a position to eliminate war, but it is our obligation to denounce it and expose it in all its hideousness. War leaves no victors, only victims.
- A destruction only man can provoke, only man can prevent. Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures, it is our gift to each other.
- No human being is illegal.

Quotes about Wiesel[edit]
- It is the Committee's opinion that Elie Wiesel has emerged as one of the most important spiritual leaders and guides in an age when violence, repression and racism continue to characterise the world. Wiesel is a messenger to mankind; his message is one of peace, atonement and human dignity. His belief that the forces fighting evil in the world can be victorious is a hard-won belief. His message is based on his own personal experience of total humiliation and of the utter contempt for humanity shown in Hitler's death camps. The message is in the form of a testimony, repeated and deepened through the works of a great author.
- Official Press Release of The Norwegian Nobel Committee (14 October 1986)

NORWALK - He dreamed of joining the football team at Cerritos College.
But after the death of Mathew Tautolo, 20, who collapsed during the tryouts Jan. 10, his would-be teammates will now play in memory of the Long Beach student.
Students will also gather for a vigil today to mourn his death.
"On the first day of tryouts he was up and ready," said Iese Maiava, a friend who made the football team. "He already had his football jacket on from Cerritos College."
Tautolo was participating in a campus physical education class about 2:30 p.m. when he excused himself from class to retrieve a pair of athletic shoes from his car, the college said in a statement. While walking to his car, Tautolo suddenly collapsed on the athletic field.
Paramedics and doctors were unable to revive Tautolo. He was pronounced dead at 3:14 p.m.
Cousin Lisa Ua, 18, said Tautolo had a pre-existing heart condition and died of a heart attack.
She said Tautolo didn't let his heart condition hold him back from tryouts, but the activity likely weakened his heart.
"It was his dream to try out for the football team and make the team," she said.
A Long Beach native of Samoan descent, Tautolo was the good-natured jokester of his large, extended family, she said.
"He was always joking around and making light of tough situations," Ua said. "He was the best."
Maiava was on the field that day also trying out for the football team when Tautolo collapsed. Maiava said the players rushed to his side and called for help.
Paramedics arrived and administered CPR, but it looked as if Tautolo was in full cardiac arrest, he said.
"We kept yelling, `Is he gonna make it?' but they didn't answer," Maiava said.
Maiava, 20, said he and Tautolo bonded last semester when the two discovered they were distant relatives. Tautolo was passionate about football and pushed his new friend to try out for the team with him.
Students and family members will hold a candlelight vigil today in memory of Tautolo. The vigil is from 5-8 p.m. on the campus's soccer field. Cerritos College is located at 11110 Alondra Blvd. in Norwalk.

A Los Angeles police official relayed a message to Christopher Dorrner Tuesday afternoon during a news briefing regarding the mountain barricade.
"Enough is enough. It's time to turn yourself in and time to stop the bloodshed," LAPD commander Andy Smith said from downtown LA.
Smith offered few updates during the press conference, but confirmed that Dorner has barricaded himself inside a cabin in the 1200 block of Club View Drive near Seven Oaks.
"This is very early, very preliminary information," Smith said.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, who is taking the lead on this investigation, said about 12:20 p.n. there was a report of a stolen vehicle near the Club View Drive cabin and that the person involved looked very similar to Dorner.
When officials located the stolen vehicle, the suspect fled and barricaded himself in a nearby cabin.
There was an exchange of gunfire and two officers were injured. Those officers have been airlifted off the mountain to local hospitals.
Law enforcement officers are still watching the cabin. There have been reports that a bullet proof Bobcat is being brought to the area and fitted with a battering ram.
There are also three ambulances and fire crews nearby.
A lock down at three schools in the area, Big Hear High School, Baldwin Lane Elementary Schoolm and Chautauqua High School has been lifted as the attention has shifted away from Big Bear, officials said. A fourth school, Fallsvale Elementary, is still on lock down.
"We are hoping everything ends without further bloodshed," Smith said at the recent press conference, adding that the best thing now would be for Dorner to surrender.

LA County Sheriff Cuts Ties With Health Company
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca is distancing himself from a health products company whose products he promoted in online videos.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says Baca contacted the Irvine-based company Yor Health earlier this week to tell them he'll no longer publicly promote their product and to ask them to remove the videos from their website.
A KABC-TV report found that Baca has spoken at the company's annualconferences since 2010. In a 3 1/2 -minute YouTube video, Baca is seen running and then guzzling one of its drinks.
Yor Health donated $1,000 to Baca's election campaign in 2010 and reimbursed him for travel expenses from one speaking engagement. Whitmore says Baca doesn't know who contributes to his campaign. The company didn't respond to a request for comment.

If you think the antics at the State Republican Convention last spring were strange, you should have been at the Democratic State Central Committee meeting on Saturday.
You will recall the weird behavior of Eureka Mayor Milton Hanks, a mysterious candidate for the 2nd Congressional District who had made no effort to campaign and had little support. But he blew up the Republican convention with his speech by claiming a group of candidates conspired against Chris Stewart, whom he painted as a victim, then threw his support behind Stewart, who won the nomination.
Many Republicans to this day believe it was a setup to get Stewart the nomination. He eventually won the seat.
Saturday, when the Democratic Central Committee was choosing a vice chair to replace Jim Judd, who was killed in a motorcycle accident earlier this year, an eerie group of protesters suddenly showed up at the meeting and began chanting against one of the candidates, Jane Marquart.
Marquart, an attorney, businesswoman and an activist with Equality Utah, has been a stalwart in the Democratic Party. But the nearly dozen detractors began shouting her down when she gave her speech to the Central Committee members.
They interrupted her so many times, the Central Committee voted to have them removed so the meeting could continue.
Their apparent gripe against Marquart is that she is a partner in Management and Training Corporation, an operator of private prisons.
The group was described as a loose organization of protesters who have been involved with the Occupy Wall Street movement and other liberal causes.
They were not members of the Central Committee and, according to Democratic State Chairman Jim Dabakis, not representative of the party.
One of the eight candidates, activist Deb Henry, then used her speech to attack Marquart over the alleged evils of private prisons and later endorsed the eventual winner, Josie Valdez.
Marquart, who came in second, said Valdez had nothing to do with the attacks against her and that she and Valdez have a good relationship.
Other Democratic problems • The House Democratic Caucus announced the appointment of its new communications director Thursday.
The press release was written by the new hire, who noted that she had been the communications director for the successful Ben McAdams for Mayor campaign. But she forgot to put her name in the press release.
For the record, it's Ashley Sumner.
Here's an irony • Could Republican Mia Love have lost her congressional bid to incumbent Democrat Jim Matheson because of voter suppression in Utah County?
Some observers think that is possible.
It wasn't intentional voter suppression, mind you. But the Utah County Clerk's Office made the decision to limit the early voting locations and the hours they were open to save money. It could have cost Love the election.
Utah County was Love's best voting block, giving her 70 percent of the vote in the portion of that county that covered the 4th Congressional District.
But it had just five early voting locations for the two weeks leading up to Election Day, which was one location for every 45,000 registered voters in the county.
By contrast, Salt Lake County, which was Matheson's stronghold, had 21 early voting locations, which was one for every 20,000 registered voters. And while most Utah County locations were open only five hours a day, most of the Salt Lake County locations were open for up to eight hours a day.
The early voting in Utah County accounted for 14.5 percent of the total vote, compared to nearly 20 percent in 2008. Salt Lake County's early voting was 17.6 percent, but that meant more than 76,000 early voters 45,000 more than in Utah County.
While Utah County had a healthy voter turnout of nearly 80 percent of registered voters, Love only lost the election by 768 votes, and observers during the early voting period witnessed long lines at the locations, with some people giving up and leaving.
State Elections Director Mark Thomas said he witnessed defections from the voting lines at several places. Voters were getting so frustrated that by Election Day, Woodland Hills Mayor Steve Lauritzen offered his trained municipal election staff to help the overworked and understaffed Utah County election judges.
Did enough voters give up to make the difference in the outcome? No one will ever know.

Our global outlook continues to be cautiously optimistic.
We are seeing positive synchronization among major global economies, but growth rates will be uneven.
In the developed markets, the U.S.
economic recovery looks well supported
by consumer activity, healthy corporate
balance sheets and low inflation, while
positive trends in the euro zone and Japan
remain tempered by structural hurdles.
There's more uncertainty in the emerging
markets, but we don't expect a hard
landing in China and are encouraged by
reforms in a number of countries.
We believe the U.S. is in the midst of a
secular bull market. U.S. equity valuations
remain attractive in our view, especially
those of cyclical growth stocks.
We prefer convertibles and select highyield
issues over investment-grade bonds.
Entering 2014, we expect a good year for global equity and convertible markets
overall. The major global economies look positioned to show faster growth, although
this positive global synchronization is occurring at varying rates and supported by
diverging policies. Historically, the conditions we see today have benefited equities
and convertibles, especially cyclical growth opportunities. More importantly, we are
encouraged by the emergence of more fundamentally driven markets across asset
classes and believe that our active approach is well suited to this environment.
The S&P 500 Index rang out 2013 with a total return of 32%, its strongest year since
1997 (Figure 1).
The Nasdaq Index soared even higher to a 40% gain for 2013, on the
back of an increased appetite for risk assets, including smaller cap and technology
names. Developed markets outside the U.S. also advanced briskly, supported by
improved conditions in the euro zone and brightening sentiment on Japan.
In terms of market performance, the emerging markets (EMs) did not enjoy similarly good fortunes, as market participants struggled with the potential deleterious impact of a U.S. taper on countries with weaker currencies and deficits; these anxieties were exacerbated by concerns of slowing growth. Talk of a potential credit bubble and slowing growth in China was a focal point of investor apprehension.
As is often the case, good news for U.S. stocks was bad news for much of the bond market, and the 10-year Treasury sank 8% for the year. Gold declined nearly 30% as inflation remained contained and equities extended their rally.
For the year (Figure 2), consumer discretionary led, as companies continued to reap the benefits of the wealth effect provided by rising equity markets and recovering home prices. Health care and financials rounded out the top performing sectors.
For the quarter, cyclical growth sectors performed best, led by industrials and technology. Utilities and telecom posted the most muted gains for the quarter and the year, as investors turned away from more defensive names.
While improved global economic growth in 2013 was led by the U.S., we are starting to see positive global synchronization among major economies. Europe is coming out of its recession, and Abenomics has promoted economic growth in Japan. China's growth has decelerated, but it is delivering solid growth nonetheless, as are a number of lesser-discussed EMs.
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and euro zone turmoil, accommodative policy was good for the global economy. Recovery efforts didn't take firm hold until the U.S., the European Central Bank (ECB) and China aligned in an accommodative direction. Now, with the worst in the rear-view mirror, countries are following different routes to move forward as they address local issues.
The U.S. is tapering; elsewhere in the developed
markets, monetary policy remains highly
accommodative and fiscal policy has become more
stimulative. The ECB has indicated its willingness to
inject more money into the euro zone, and Japan
looks set to continue with its unprecedented stimulus
measures. China and other emerging markets will
likely be in varying levels of tightening as they work to
avoid credit bubbles while keeping inflation in check.
All in, we expect global growth slightly above 3.0% (Figure 3), with the U.S. and China making strong
contributions. As the two largest economies in the
world, their economic growth can offset the more
modest expansion that we may see in the euro zone
and in some EMs.
United States.
The U.S. economy looks to be in a "nottoo-
hot, not-too-cold" period, supported by improving
GDP growth and low inflation, upbeat consumers, good
corporate balance sheets, strength in manufacturing
and an improving trade balance. We expect U.S. GDP
growth of 2.5 to 3.0% in 2014, with inflation holding at
less than 2%. Against this backdrop, we anticipate that
the Fed will withdraw QE stimulus by the end of 2014,
while continuing accommodative policy through 2015.
Supported by a wealth effect of rising equity markets
and home values(Figure 4), the U.S. consumer is feeling
better and spending more, including on autos and other
discretionary items (Figure 5). Net worth is higher than
it was before the financial crisis, and the deleveraging
cycle may have well have bottomed out (Figure 6). This
willingness to spend and potentially take on debt should
sustain economic growth over the long term.
The U.S. Labor Department's report that only 74,000
jobs were added in December fell far short of
economists' expectations(Figure 7), but we expect the
number to be revised upward next month. The calendar was compressed with Thanksgiving coming late; the
weather was bad; and if one considers November data
(revised up to 241,000 jobs) along with December's
data, the average monthly job growth has been
respectable at about 160,000. The December numbers
are also inconsistent with the other stronger economic
data we've seen over the past few weeks, including
new unemployment claims and ADP's private sector job
growth report.
Businesses are also doing well. Capital spending
has begun its long-anticipated recovery, with total
expenditures at record highs. Corporate cash growth
and high cash balances suggest that this recovery
can be sustained over an extended period. Operating
earnings of S&P 500 companies continue to rise.
Small businesses are adding jobs and benefiting from
increased access to credit. As earnings season starts
again, we believe most sectors are likely to do better
versus reduced expectations. Retail and restaurants
may be an exception; like the employment numbers,
these sectors were similarly affected by the compressed
calendar and weather.
What could derail this recovery? We believe the most
significant threat to U.S. economic growth is inflation,
which would cause long-term rates to spike. At this
point, we believe the threat of this is low. Wage
inflation is not a problem, as unemployment is still
relatively high. At 1.5%, core inflation is well contained
today and looks to be so for the foreseeable future,
while the velocity of money, a primary driver of asset
inflation, remains subdued
( Figure 8 and Figure 9).
We also view government policy as a potential
impediment to a more robust recovery. We'd like to see
more favorable fiscal policy for business, which in turn
could stimulate job growth and GDP growth. It's our
hope that Congress will focus on this in 2014.
Euro zone.
We believe GDP growth is likely to turn
positive in 2014, led by stronger growth in Germany
and more stimulative fiscal policy. Stronger U.S. growth
should also benefit the region by creating demand for
European exports. While we expect regional expansion,
the growth will be uneven by country. Germany has
continued along the recovery trajectory. Spain, Ireland
and Greece have gone through painful austerity
programs and appear headed to brighter prospects.
Countries that have not undertaken reform may remain
or become potential problems. In France, manufacturing
has fallen significantly, public debt has soared to more
than 90% of GDP, and President Hollande's aggressive
tax agenda has discouraged private enterprise and
investment. Due to its size, even a relatively small
stumble from France could cause a large impact.
More broadly, structural issues across the euro zone
continue to create considerable headwinds to more
robust growth: money growth is slow, bank loans have
declined, and unemployment remains at more than
10% for the region, with youth unemployment even
higher at 23% (Figure 10).
So, while the Fed is ready to start weaning its patient
from its meds, the European Central Bank likely has
more to administer. While the exact prescriptions are
to be determined, the ECB has alluded to providing
liquidity exclusively to banks that commit to extending
those funds to businesses. In this case, attaching
conditions to banks' ability to access additional capital
would be a positive because we believe stimulating
business is the long-term route to economic growth.
Markets have loudly cheered Abenomics,
with the MSCI Japan Index (local) rising 55%. With
the printing presses working overtime, Japan has
doubled its money supply, and the yen is down 20%
since the outset of Abenomics. Economic growth was
strong during the first half of the year, but slowed
more recently (Figure 11). The trade balance remains
problematic, hindered by tepid exports. Ebbing
domestic consumer demand provides further cause
for concern.
In our view, the Japanese equity market may have
gotten ahead of itself in 2013, especially as the
sustainability of the recovery is contingent on
meaningful structural reform. Persistent overcapacity
issues and stagnant wage growth create significant
hurdles to more sustainable economic growth. We
expect consumers to pull spending forward before the
introduction of the value-added tax this spring; this
could lead to a near-term boost to economic growth,
but it's too soon to gauge the longer-term impact of
the tax.
Emerging Markets.
While we expect broad global
economic synchronization overall, the expansion will be
uneven. Most broadly, the secular growth trend of the
emerging market middle class consumer remains intact.
On a country level, we are seeing encouraging reforms
in China, Mexico, the Philippines, and South Korea—
reforms that have the potential to improve longer-term
economic growth prospects, including stimulating
foreign direct investment.
In regard to China, we are not anticipating either a hard
landing nor a significant acceleration of growth. Rather,
we believe the economy will slow to a still-healthy
6% range for the medium term. We are prepared for
bumps along the way, as the influence of state-owned
enterprises (SOEs) decreases and the role of private
enterprises expands.
In Mexico, President Nieto's "Pact for Mexico" has
unified opposition parties to implement structural
reforms. In the Philippines, economic prospects have
been bolstered by President Aquino's government's
successful strides against corruption, helping to level
the playing field and encourage foreign investment
and private enterprise. Moreover, since Typhoon
Haiyan, the Philippine government has also shown
greater momentum in moving forward public-private
partnerships to build infrastructure and promote private
(For more on Mexico and the Philippines,
read blog posts by Co-Portfolio Manager Nick Niziolek,
CFA, at www.calamos.com/viewpoints.)
However, the upcoming taper in the U.S. and the
aggressive monetary accommodation in Japan give
many emerging markets less room to navigate as
they attempt to forestall inflation without curtailing
economic growth. Saddled with a fiscal deficit and a
current account deficit ("twin deficits"), Brazil is in a
difficult spot as it seeks to combat slowing growth and
high inflation, a challenge made more difficult given
our expectation of softer commodity demand and
rising real interest rates in that country. For many similar
reasons, we're cautious on India's growth prospects, as
the government struggles with economic deceleration,
rising inflation, a twin deficit, the shadow of a potential
ratings downgrade of its debt, as well as a fractious
political environment.
Moreover, India and Brazil are two of the five major
EM twin-deficit economies with national elections
scheduled in 2014; the group is rounded out by
Indonesia, South Africa and Turkey. The outcomes will
likely lead to structural changes, but whether positive or
negative remains to be seen. We should be prepared for
more volatility along the way.
We see considerable upside in the equity markets in
2014, but at the same time, there could be significant
divergence between the winners and losers.
Developed market equities. As the U.S. equity
market has rallied, talk about a potential market top has
increased. However, steady 2 to 3 percent GDP growth,
low inflation and short-term rates, and rising long-term
rates have historically supported stocks. We don't see
much evidence of a bubble in the U.S. stock market
today. Instead, we believe we are in the mid-phase of a
secular bull market (Figure 12).
By many of our favored measures, U.S. equity valuations
are reasonable. If we consider the earnings yield of
stocks relative to 10-year Treasury yields, on the basis
of trailing earnings, the S&P 500 equity return premium
is 250 basis points over the Treasury (Figure 13). When
we consider forward earnings, equities look even more
attractive. Equity earnings yields of 6.3% (inverse of a
forward P/E estimate of 16.0x for the S&P 500 for 2014
and earnings per share of $115) provide a 340-basis
point advantage relative to 10-year Treasury yields at
about 2.9%. The return advantage offered by equities
over bonds thus ranks at one of its most attractive levels
over the past 60 years.
While we're most constructive on the U.S., our team is identifying increased opportunities within the euro zone. On the basis of valuations alone, euro zone equities look attractive. Still, structural uncertainties in the region remain far-reaching. This has led us to take a selective approach favoring luxury brands, staples with strong EM presence, and consumer-facing technology.
As noted above, Japanese equities soared in 2013, and valuations for many companies are higher than we like. And similar to the euro zone, the uncertainties surrounding the implementation of structural reforms heighten our caution. While we are underweighted to Japan, we have found pockets of opportunity in companies that would benefit from increases in consumer spending.
Emerging market equities. Fundamentals are also carrying more weight in the EMs. Correlations among emerging market country indexes have declined, with individual country and company fundamentals having a greater impact on performance. We believe we are well positioned for this environment.
From a regional standpoint, we are finding attractive prospects in emerging Asia. While we have tended to underweight China versus the broad market, our team is identifying more opportunities, particularly in industries unfettered by SOE competition—such as internet, gaming and consumer spending. We've been more wary of the financial sector, given bank participation in funding SOEs. In Taiwan and South Korea, we emphasize companies that export to both developed and other emerging economies. We're adding exposure to the Philippines, favoring consumer opportunities as well as companies positioned to benefit from infrastructure projects.
In regard to Latin America, we are cautious about Brazil, reflecting the macro outlook discussed above. We're more optimistic about Mexico. Because of its close ties to the United States, Mexico is positioned to benefit from U.S. economic growth versus those countries that are instead more vulnerable to the tapering. We have also diversified our Latin American exposure to include growth opportunities in the Andean region beyond Brazil.
As the taper approaches, the risk in U.S. investment-grade bonds and Treasurys has increased. The "safe haven" U.S. Treasury returned -3% for the quarter and -8% for the 2013.
Convertible securities. For investors who seek alternatives to bonds and those who are reluctant to allocate more to equities, the case for convertible securities remains compelling. As equity-linked securities, convertibles are generally less sensitive to interest rates, while providing the opportunity for upside equity participation with potential downside protection if equities decline. We believe these attributes may be particularly beneficial as long-term rates increase and given our expectation that after recent momentum, the equity markets may experience periods of volatility even as they rise.
As discussed in our past commentaries, global new issuance trends remain encouraging. In 2013, new convertible issuance of $93 billion (USD) reached its highest level since 2008 (Figure 16), more than offsetting redemptions. In 2014, we expect continued global economic recovery and rising rates in the U.S. to build upon this trend, while redemption activity is expected to moderately taper.
Fundamental research will be essential to identify the best ideas in the convertible market. For example, investment-grade issuance has declined significantly as a percentage of total issuance; in our view, this does not point to a reduction in overall opportunity, but rather the need for rigorous research. Often, convertible issuers with respectable fundamentals choose not to have their securities rated, which does not disadvantage us, because we rely on our proprietary comprehensive research. Moreover, the improving global macro environment allows us to consider a broader spectrum of credit qualities among the rated universe.
High-yield bonds. Although returns in the high-yield market may fall below long-term averages, there are still sufficient pockets of bottom-up opportunity. Supported by strong issuer fundamentals and an improving economic environment, default rates will likely remain low. However, valuations are stretched, especially with spreads below long-term averages. While we expect coupon income to largely offset the impact of rising interest rates, volatility caused by the taper will likely spill into the high-yield market at some point during the year. In this environment, our team believes the most compelling opportunities exist within the middle-credit quality tiers where we are focusing on upgrade candidates and those with enough spread to absorb a back-up in interest rates. The most speculative issues (those rated CCC and below) and those with the highest interest rate sensitivity continue to warrant caution.
As active, research-driven investors, we are encouraged by the more fundamentally driven markets that have emerged over recent months—a market climate that we expect will continue through 2014 against the backdrop of global economic recovery. We see compelling upside potential in equities, especially in a U.S. equity market that looks to be in the mid-phase of a secular bull market. However, although conditions look set to improve across much of the global economy, we do not see a rising tide lifting all boats from an investment standpoint.
In an environment with the potential for highly divergent returns, we believe our ongoing commitment to specialized fundamental research will serve us well. In 2013, we strengthened our team through internal promotions as well as by adding individuals to our investment organization, including 12 senior investment professionals (co-portfolio managers, global sector heads, risk management) and five analysts. We are pleased that these efforts are bearing fruit, and together our team looks forward to capitalizing on the opportunities of the global markets in the years to come.

From Wikiquote
Spirituality concerns itself with matters of the spirit, a concept closely tied to religious belief and faith, a transcendent reality, or one or more deities. Spiritual matters are thus those matters regarding humankind's ultimate nature and meaning, not only as material biological organisms, but as beings with a unique relationship to that which is perceived to be Reality beyond the bodily senses, time and the material world.
- Spirituality is much wider than any particular religion, and in the larger ideas of it that are now coming on us even the greatest religion becomes no more than a broad sect or branch of the one universal religion, by which we shall understand in the future man's seeking for the eternal, the divine, the greater self, the source of unity and his attempt to arrive at some equation, some increasing approximation of the values of human life with the eternal and the divine values.
- Sri Aurobindo in The Renaissance in India (1918)
- The contemplation of celestial things will make a man both speak and think more sublimely and magnificently when he descends to human affairs.
- Cicero, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 562.
- Politics and Religion are obsolete. The time has come for Science and Spirituality.
- Often quoted by Arthur C. Clarke as one of his favorite remarks of Jawaharlal Nehru, though some of his earliest citations of it, in Voices from the Sky : Previews of the Coming Space Age (1967), p. 154, indicate that Nehru may himself been either quoting or paraphrasing a statement of Vinoba Bhave.
- I would not expect religion to be the right tool for sequencing the human genome and by the same token would not expect science to be the means to approaching the supernatural. But on the really interesting larger questions, such as 'Why are we here?' or 'Why do human beings long for spirituality?,' I find science unsatisfactory. Many superstitions have come into existence and then faded away. Faith has not, which suggests it has reality.
- Ian Gray: They have two: smell and touch. Why?
- Sofi Elizondo: So, they live without any ability to see or even know about light, right? The notion of light to them is unimaginable.
- Ian Gray: Yeah.
- Sofi Elizondo: But we humans, we know that light exists—all around them, right on top of them, they cannot sense it. But with a little mutation, they do. Right?
- Ian Gray: Correct.
- Sofi Elizondo: So, Doctor Eye, perhaps some humans, rare humans, have mutated to have another sense—a spirit sense—and can perceive a world that is right on top of us, everywhere, just like the light on these worms.
- Dr. Ian Gray (Michael Pitt) and Sofi Elizondo (Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey) in I Origins (18 January 2014), written and directed by Mike Cahill.
- Whenever you wash dishes, cook, or clean, if you make no sound, this is smartness itself. A person who enters a house and makes a lot of noise is revealing a lack of spirituality; even cats and dogs do not make unnecessary sounds, and man as he naturally is does not make any either.
- Michio Kushi with Edward Esko, Spiritual Journey (1994), p. 4
- See the person's eating and cooking, and then you can judge his or her spirituality.
- Michio Kushi with Edward Esko, Spiritual Journey (1994)
- A physical man does not receive the things of the spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot get to know [them], because they are examined spiritually. However, the spiritual man examines indeed all things, but he himself is not examined by any man.
- These things we also speak, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by [the] spirit, as we combine spiritual [matters] with spiritual [words].
- I, at any rate, acknowledge only one master, not forty-five million two-legged sheep, or two thousand million, but simply and absolutely the spirit.
- Olaf Stapledon, Sirius (1944)

Great event.
I enjoyed it.
Saw the fight - looks unstoppable
MMA Officials London, Essex and East Anglia representative
What a fitting end to an incredible year for Cage Warriors. Last night was awesome - start to finish.
A personal highlight in the scrapbook of my mind.
if you think its easy stop now
no one achieved anything by doing nothing
never argue with a fool
if fighting is a pursuit rooted in pain, you will find the best teachers have often absorbed the most punishment themselves......and remained standing
Last nights Cage Warriors was outstanding, the climax to the event was electric and the atmosphere was incredible. What a way to end the year, well done everyone on the Team, every fighter, Coach and everyone involved throughout the whole year!

PA Abortion Doctor Spared The Death Penalty
(Philadelphia, PA) -- A Philadelphia abortion doctor convicted of first-degree murder will not face the death penalty. Kermit Gosnell agreed today to a pair of consecutive life sentences. It was part of an agreement not to file an appeal in the case to get prosecutors to drop the death penalty. Gosnell was convicted on three murder charges in connection with the death of three babies born alive during late-term abortion procedures.

- Details & Specs
Humminbird® 598CI HD SI High - Definition Side ImagingTM Combo GPS & Color Fishfinder. It's official: fish have nowhere left to hide.
Side ImagingTM for selectable narrow / wide sonar and true 180° coverage. Down ImagingTM for a clear view from the bottom of the boat straight down. Add it together, and you've got the most complete picture ever of what's going on under the surface. It's bad news for fish. And with full-color, high-def clarity, built-in GPS function, and pre-bundles maps included, it's one of the best performers on the water today!
Side Imaging Sonar - Get the best of both worlds with selectable narrow and wide beams for true 180° coverage. It's everything you need to master the lake or sea bottom
Down Imaging Sonar - Provides picture-like images of structure below your boat by combining a traditional down-looking sonar view with side imaging technology. Observe Down Imaging side-by-side on your screen with SwitchFireTM (explained below), or on a 3-way view.
DualBeam PLUSTM - 2 beams, best of both worlds! A narrow beam is optimized for bottom and structure detail below your boat, while a beam casts a wider net, searching for fish and structure around your boat. View them side-by-side onscreen or combine the images into 1 comprehensive view!
Built-in GPS Function - GPS track-plotting and chart-plotting made easier than ever before! With push-button simplicity, you'll be able to track GPS speed, mark 2,500 waypoints, chart 50 routes, and mark 20,000 points of interest.
SwitchFire - Gives you a real time, customized look below the water's surface with 2 different modes: "Max Mode" and "Clear Mode".
Max Mode detects even the slightest returns, displaying them on-screen in full detail, and helping you identify variables like thermaclimes, plankton and baitfish populations, structure and, of course, game fish. Max Mode is great for jigging, too, since its incredible detail allows you to see your jig on-screen. This complete picture of the action below your boat lets you tailor your approach to match the conditions and catch more fish.
Clear Mode offers a crisp, uncluttered representation of structure and fish...great for fishing in shallow water. Clear Mode filters out weaker returns like silt and debris, displaying only stronger signals like bottom contour, structure, schools of baitfish and individual game fish.
Pre-loaded UniMap - Includes UniMapTM bundle covering the continental U.S. coastline, inland lakes and rivers at 30 meters per pixel resolution. UniMapTM gives you an accurate chart almost anywhere you travel in the United States.More Advanced Sonar features:
- Split Screen Zoom increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together
- Split Screen Bottom Lock
- Wide / Narrow Cone Split Screen separates the sonar data using the two primary user selectable down-looking beams simultaneously in split screen
- Instant Image Update... the sonar chart updates in real time to show the latest information on the sonar screen
- Freeze Frame with the ability to mark structure on sonar. Inspect and mark submerged structure, bait fish, and underwater contours with special Sonar Cursor
- Selective Fish ID+ interprets sonar returns and displays a fish symbol when very selective requirements are met. When a fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return. 3 different fish icons represent intensity of the sonar return, and provide an indicator of relative fish size.
- X-Press Menu System provides quick access to the settings most frequently used
- 3D Chart View
- Large Digits View provides digital data in a large, easy-to-see format
- Custom View Selections allows you to see only the views that you want, giving you the flexibility to access the information you need quickly and easily
- Custom Digital Readout Selection allows customization of digital readout
- Temperature Alarm allows you to preset and display an alarm when a desired temperature is reached.

Drawing Day - Days away, get ready to draw!
As much as drawing on the day is what it's all about, please share links to your drawings with all your friends. Spreading the word is just as important on Drawing Day. The larger art communities will all take notice if they start to see a huge influx of drawings tagged with the words "drawing day" in their titles and descriptions so be sure to do that. Join our groups on Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, etc. - it really does make a difference!
We also would like to really encourage some of you to record video captures of you drawing in illustrator, photoshop, MS Paint, etc. and we will feature these videos on our YouTube channel. If you have a webcam, you can even record yourself drawing on paper.
Excited yet? We are!
