Definitive Joe Calzaghe Interview
Steve Bunce, sport.independent.co.uk
When did you realise that the Sakio Bika world title fight earlier this month was going to be difficult? I realised long before I got in the ring. I had tapes of his previous fights and I knew that he could do two things: he could come and have a row and that would have suited me. Or, he would come and survive and hold and make it hard for me to look good. That is what he did. He was one of the toughest men that I've fought and the dirtiest.
Which victory are you most proud of? I'm split on that. I still remember the feeling I had when I beat [Chris] Eubank in 1997 to win the title. It was fantastic. But, beating [Jeff] Lacy this year is just in front of beating Eubank. I know there will be some more big wins. I'm not finished yet! I even said after the Lacy fight that "if I die tomorrow I will die happy". That was a bit over the top but you get the picture. It was an amazing feeling.
The win against the American favourite Jeff Lacy looked easy. Was it? Not easy but I knew in the first round that I had him beat. I kept telling people that I would make it look easy and I did. It was the first round. He caught me with a good right and it knocked me back. But I came back at him and hit him with combinations and moved out of range and then hit him again. The crowd was going crazy and at the bell to end round one he was finished - I had done his head in.
Have you ever been scared before a fight? Not scared of getting hurt and getting hit. Not scared of the man in the other corner. But I'm scared of losing. I hate the thought of losing. Hate it and that scares me before a fight. I even get scared that I will lose when I play my kids on the PlayStation. I just like to win.
What do you hate about boxing? What really annoys me is that the politics involved stop too many good fights from happening. Also, a lot of the so-called experts don't understand that it is hard to make fights, big fights, happen. I've been given a lot of stick for not fighting such and such a fighter because a lot of people don't understand how the business works. Some really big names have turned down big offers to fight me. They have said "yes" one day and "no" the next.
What would you do differently if you had a second chance? I would speak to more managers and promoters before turning professional. I won three ABA [Amateur Boxing Association] titles as an amateur and I only spoke to Mickey Duff [Calzaghe signed for Duff in 1993 and left in 1997 to join Frank Warren]. I wish I had spoken to other people. If I had done a deal with Frank from the start, I would be loaded now and retired.
First sporting memory? That is easy. It was my first goal for Pentwynmawr Under-10s. It was against Cefn Forest. We were losing something like 3-0 when I scored. I had been trying to score for weeks, no months actually. I was desperate to score. I celebrated for ages and the manager went berserk at me. We lost something like 7-1 in the end but it didn't matter to me. I scored my first goal. Great that was. I might go back to Sunday football when I retire.
What is your worst boxing memory? This is even easier. It was 1992, the year of the Barcelona Olympics. I was convinced that I was going to the qualification tournament. I was the best in Britain. I had won ABA titles at welter and light middle at the time. I remember my dad coming in from the selection meeting and I could tell from his face that I had not been picked. I really wanted an Olympic medal. That was a terrible low point.
How do you wind down after a fight? I like to go away for a break. Spend some time with my kids and do my best to just relax. Nothing excessive, just some quiet days. After the Lacy fight it took me ages to calm down. I think it was about a month but I loved every second of it.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career? My dad, Enzo. We argue and fight sometimes but he's my dad, ain't he? He is a great trainer and he doesn't always get the respect that he deserves. He's also a great judge of fights. I remember when Mike Tyson first met Evander Holyfield and nobody gave Holyfield a chance. I was with him in a room of about 200 people and he picked it perfectly. He was the only one to go for Holyfield and he described the end. It was brilliant.
Some people are talking about you beating the record of 25 world title defences held the heavyweight legend Joe Louis. Do you think you may be able to do that? Joe Louis is a great and I wouldn't want to take his record. I would probably stop at 25 but I'm not fighting to break records. I fight for myself and to be champion at the end of the day. I fight to stay unbeaten.
You have had a lot of injuries and watched a lot of fights collapse, so have you ever felt like walking away from boxing? Last year there was a point after the Evans Ashira fight. It was not a great win and I wasn't getting the recognition [I thought I deserved]. At that time I just couldn't see how the Lacy fight was going to happen. He was a world champion and a star in America and I felt like I was being overlooked. It was a bad time but I sat down with Frank and my dad and I knew that I could beat him. I had to believe it would happen.
Which fighter in history would you most like to share the ring with? Rocky Marciano. He retired as the undefeated world heavyweight champion. He was a great guy, a stand-up guy. I admire him because he made the most of what he had. I would love to mix it with him because he was not much heavier than me [Calzaghe's fighting weight is 12stand Marciano weighed just over 13st].
Italian or Welsh cooking? No contest. Italian! But, I'm mad for ice cream - Italian or Welsh, it makes no difference. I love them both.
Do people ever try and pick fights with you when you are out? Never, not now. When I was younger there was always somebody. It depends where you go and I like to go to the right places. I also keep my head down. I'm not flash. I don't have anything to prove when I go out.
What is the most extravagant thing that you have bought? Probably one of my cars. The Porsche, I suppose. But they are not that much money. If I buy something expensive I always think about when I didn't have any money and then it seem like a lot. I never grew up rich so I don't do stupid things with my money. Earning it is hard enough - I'm not really going to just throw it away.
Where is your ideal holiday resort and why? I like somewhere that is not too far from a bit of life. I like to get away from the crowds but not too far. I enjoyed Cancun in Mexico but the Seychelles didn't suit me. I don't like a place to be too stuck up - that doesn't impress me.
Do you have any superstitions before a fight? I never do my top lace up. I've never done it up. As a schoolboy in the finals in Derby in 1985 I never had it done up and I still don't do it.
If you could have any fight right now who would it be against? It would have to be either Mikkel Kessler, Jermain Taylor or Bernard Hopkins. All three would be great fights. Kessler holds a couple of super-middleweight world titles and everybody keeps telling me how good he is. Hopkins is a big name in America and he was the middleweight champion for 10 years. But, I think it would have to be Taylor because he beat Hopkins. That would be the fight.
And finally, what about the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year? Please, don't get me started on that again. Enough said.

Bet the farm that BC Liberals sold out the Agricultural Land Reserve
B.C. Premier Christy Clark. (QMI AGENCY FILE PHOTO)
Related Stories
(The Agricultural Land Reserve) functioned up until the election of this Liberal administration ... politics has interfered and land is being removed and that is a serious, serious mistake. — Ex-BC NDP Premier Dave Barrett on Voice Of BC, June 29, 2005
Don't believe the spin that the BC Liberal government will "protect farmland" or "help farmers" — its Bill 24 is all about continuing the attack it began on the Agricultural Land Reserve when first elected in 2001.
Dave Barrett wasn't fooled back in 2005 and neither should anyone else today with the nonsensical bafflegab spun by Energy Minister Bill Bennett, who introduced legislation that will carve up farmland for use by industry and developers while undermining the Agricultural Land Commission's independence from political interference.
Bill 24 would split B.C. into two zones with different rules on removing ALR-protected farmland in order to satisfy Bennett's long-held goal of using "economic, cultural and social values" decided politically by cabinet to plow ahead.
And like Russian President Vladimir Putin's takeover of the Ukrainian province of Crimea, Bennett is highly unlikely to stop with just one radical change to the ALR that only applies to Zone 2 of B.C. — the Interior, the North and the Kootenays.
Just wait for the other shoe to drop in Zone 1 — the South Coast, Okanagan and Vancouver Island — where B.C.'s most productive land that creates the vast majority of farm receipts is under enormous pressure.
Between 1974 and 2013, Metro Vancouver lost 5,910 hectares of farmland and the Fraser Valley 5,083 hectares, according to the ALC, while overall land protected has shrunk by 94,795 hectares since 1974.
But Bennett doesn't care, preferring to claim that the ALR is some bureaucratic nightmare, preserving useless land simply to penalize its impoverished owners.
"There is some land within the Agricultural Land Reserve that actually is useless to agriculture," Bennett said.
What horse manure.
And if Bennett isn't bad enough, Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm was admonished last year by the ALC for attempting to "politically influence" an attempt to remove protected farmland from the ALR to build a rodeo and recreational vehicle campsite.
Bennett and Pimm's legislation could soon pass — so support keeping B.C. farmland by letting your MLA know and signing a petition online at change.org/en-CA/petitions/christy-clark-hands-off-bc-s-agricultural-land-commission.

Oppose – we need more farmland in B.C., not less.

Not sure — nervous about losing farmland, but OK with taking swamps out.

Temperature guage not working
Hey Guys,
I did a search and couldn't find anything. I have an 03 LSV with the Indmar Assault 310 Tbi and the temperature guage is not working. I checked the wiring and replaced the sensor. Any suggestion? Thanks.

The gauge sensor is on the rear of the motor next to the water pump pulley not on top in the intake manifold, that one is for the computer. When mine acted up I found a bad connection in the main engine harness connector located under the main breaker on the front of the engine. I'd check like described above, verify the druids are right on the back of the gauge, verify the contact is good on the sensor then check the connector I mentioned. It doesn't like to come apart but it is like a giant 5 pin round trailer plug. Hope that helps

Fiscal Cliff Fears Cause One in Three Americans to Cut Personal Spending Over Past 30 Days
Dec 19, 2012, 08:00 ET from Bankrate, Inc.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- One in three Americans has cut back on personal spending over the past 30 days due to concerns about the looming fiscal cliff, according to new research published today by Bankrate.com (NYSE: RATE).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20040122/FLTHLOGO )
In a related development, the Bankrate.com Financial Security Index fell to a 2012 low of 95.6 in December (readings below 100 indicate that financial security has declined over the past year). For the second month in a row, all five components (job security, savings, debt, net worth and overall financial situation) dropped, and consumers are currently feeling worse about all five categories when compared with one year ago.
"The risks of going over the fiscal cliff are beginning to resonate with consumers much the way they have with businesses that have held back in recent months," said Greg McBride, CFA, Bankrate.com's senior financial analyst. "The combination of tax hikes and significant spending cuts would push the economy into recession, and one-third of consumers are already beginning to cut back on spending due to the looming uncertainty."
Americans are less comfortable with their savings now versus one year ago by a margin of more than three-to-one, the widest margin since November 2011, Bankrate found. And after reporting more comfort with their debt levels for most of 2012, consumers are now feeling worse about their debt relative to a year ago for a second straight month.
Those most inclined to have cut their spending over the past 30 days were households with annual income under $30,000 and those with no more than a high school diploma. Among age groups, people 65 and older were the most likely to have cut back and those under 30 were least likely.
The new survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International (PSRAI) and can be seen in its entirety here:
PSRAI obtained telephone interviews with a nationally representative sample of 1,001 adults living in the continental United States. Telephone interviews were conducted by landline (601) and cell phone (400, including 201 without a landline phone). Interviews were done in English by Princeton Data Source from December 6-9, 2012. Statistical results are weighted to correct known demographic discrepancies. The margin of sampling error for the complete set of weighted data is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

Beaumont police arrested a man they say went on an early-morning auto burglary spree Tuesday.
Beaumont Police Department spokesperson Officer Carol Riley said around 3:30 a.m. officers were called to the 2200 block of Broadway where a man was breaking into cars.
When officers arrived they said they heard someone breaking into a car. When they went to investigate, a man took off running and got into a maroon Chevrolet Suburban that was parked at 2215 Calder. Officers pursued the suspect. The suspect fled down Calder to 11th Street then turned back East on Calder.
Officers were able to spike the vehicles tires in the 2300 block of Calder.
The driver turned south on 4th Street and then west on South. He then stopped on South at 5th and fled on foot. He was caught and arrested at 5th and South.
The suspect is identified by police as Joseph Lee Martin, 34, of Beaumont.
Three auto burglaries were found in the area. The owners were notified. All three have file charges.
Martin was taken to Jefferson County Jail and booked in on 3 counts of felony auto burglary due to his previous convictions. He is also charged with evading in motor vehicle and evading on foot.
There was additional property located, but police do not yet know from where it was stolen

Obama has been taking heat for it since making the statement during in an interview on "60 Minutes" when asked about the Arab Spring.
McCain, Graham and Ayotte listed problems in seven Middle Eastern countries, countering that they're "not a bump in the road."
"It is not a 'bump in the road' when Al-Qaeda fighters and their terrorist allies have been gaining ground in Libya, a country the United States helped to liberate but has not sufficiently supported in its ongoing struggle against lawlessness and violent extremism," the senators said. "It is not a 'bump in the road' when the relationship between the United States and Israel has never been worse at a time when the threat from Iran has never been greater and when events in the Middle East have never been more tumultuous or uncertain."
The foreign policy hawks have accused Obama on the Senate floor of poor leadership in foreign affairs.
"None of these events are 'bumps in the road,'" Graham, McCain and Ayotte said. "They are failures of American leadership. And they call for the United States to begin leading more actively, rather than trying to lead from behind."
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney also criticized Obama's comment, saying it was insensitive and inaccurate.

Bobbie Darbyshire, British author of best selling novel "Truth Games",
Truth Games - Bobbie Darbyshire on Amazon
Description of her Book
After the hippies and before the yuppies, between the advent of the Pill and the onset of AIDS, between the 'summer of love' and the 'winter of discontent', the newest game in town was sex.
In mid-seventies London a group of friends play a dangerous game of open marriages, secrets and lies. "It's only sex, Ann. It won't hurt us," claims Lois, beautiful, talented and determined to get whatever or whoever she wants without being held back by her longsuffering husband, Hugh. Wherever they are, sex is there for the taking. But can love be free? 'Truth Games' bares all. It's fast, funny and sexy, but as the summer heat increases, stakes are raised and consequences have to be faced...
What readers say:
"It shows the deft touch of a psychologically astute social satirist"
"It leaves you with that taste in the mouth: a blend of loss, innocence and cynicism."
"I read this novel like a hog eats its share of strawberry tart."

For more than a decade, we have been at risk of cyber war and cyber terror due to political disputes or hacktivists bent on disruption. Our information, financial systems and critical infrastructures are the main targets. In 2012, cyber security became part of our popular culture due to the elections.
The Obama administration made the most significant advances in 2 ways: moving the discussion forward in creating minimum cyber security standards for all those responsible for critical infrastructure and moving forward in creating trusted identities in cyberspace. The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) envisions a cyber world – the Identity Ecosystem – that improves upon the passwords currently used to log-in online. It would include a vibrant marketplace that allows people to choose among multiple identity providers – both private and public – that would issue trusted credentials that prove identity.
And of course the Democrats and Republicans do not agree on next steps. The Republicans have stated Obama's plans cost too much and are ineffective. Both candidates disagreed throughout the campaign.
ABC News reports "The uncomfortable reality of our world today is that bits and bytes can be as threatening as bullets and bombs," Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told lawmakers.
Now it is up to this administration to follow through and get citizens properly identified and to properly protect our critical infrastructure.

More time for tiling
Typically, the spring tiling season ends when the last fields are planted. But that's not the case around Algona, Iowa, where veteran tiler Dick Manske and his son, Scott, routinely install tile in fields where corn and soybeans are already up and growing.
"We tile in crops into the first week of June almost every year," says Dick Manske. He says most of the corn in the tracks and trenches will survive. "If you had taken another picture of this field later in the summer, you'd have hardly seen the tile ditches. As long as the corn doesn't get much over knee-high, we don't do a lot of damage. The damage occurs when the corn gets over knee-high. Then we break it off, and it has no chance of coming back."
Matt Erpelding of Algona rents the farm where this picture was taken. He admits that before the tiling was done he was concerned about how much crop damage there would be and how rough it would be to farm over the trenches the rest of the year. Those concerns faded away as the season progressed.
"I was happy with it as far as the amount of crop it took out," he says. "Most of what was run down came back. Once the crop got up, you could hardly tell anything had been done."
Tiling continued
Erpelding hired a dealer to spray with a Hagie sprayer equipped with a 120-foot boom because it wouldn't have to cross the trenches as often as he would. "Harvesting wasn't an issue," he says.
Would he do it again? "If that was the option – get it done rather than wait a couple of years – I wouldn't hesitate to do it again," he says. "It was worthwhile to get it tiled. That outweighed the crop loss."
Lloyd Thilges, who farms near West Bend, Iowa, also had Manske Drainage install tile in growing crops last year, although he was hesitant at first. "But then I figured, if they have the time to do it, let's get it done," he says.
After the tile was installed in early June, Thilges smoothed the trenches out with a 10-foot-wide field cultivator. Then he tied up the two outer rows on his six-row planter and planted four rows of an 89-day hybrid over the tile lines. He harvested those rows separately. "The last thing you want to do is drop a snout down into the dirt," he says.
What Thilges had tiled last June was the bottom half of an 80-acre field. The top half had been tiled several years ago.
"I'm looking forward to this spring," he says. "Before, the top half where we had tile was dry, but I still had to wait for the bottom half to be ready. Hopefully, it will all be the same."
Ron Frideres of Algona has had the Manskes install tile in growing crops for several years, and he no longer has any concerns about the practice.
"When I let them do it the first time, I thought there would be all kinds of traps out there," says Frideres. "But after a while, I couldn't see anything except exactly where the tile lines went. Now I have come to expect that it is not going to be a big deal.
"I let him do it where we have beans planted," he adds. "It takes out about four rows. I figure it's wet there, so the next year is going to make up for it anyway."
He uses Roundup on the beans late to control weeds where the tile runs. "I've had many farmers tell me that, under normal growing conditions, they'll gain what they lose," says Manske. "You will gain (from drainage) what I ruin." Nevertheless, he does give farmers a small discount for in-season tiling.
Family business
Dick Manske's father, Bill Sr., started Manske Drainage (515/295-4262) in 1969. Dick was 14 years old then, and he's been tiling ever since. For several years, they installed clay and cement tile, then they switched to plastic during the 1970s. "Dad's goal was to lay 3,000 feet per day," says Dick. "Our goal is 10,000 to 12,000 feet per day." Dick's son, Scott, joined the business in 2000. They have used laser guidance for years. Two years ago they started using GPS to hold grade with the tile plow.

(Daily Mail) – Mitt Romney is ahead by a single percentage point in Ohio – the swing state that could well decide the election – according to internal polling data provided to MailOnline by a Republican party source.
Internal campaign polling completed on Sunday night by campaign pollster Neil Newhouse has Romney three points up in New Hampshire, two points up in Iowa and dead level in Wisconsin. Most startlingly, the figures show Romney and Obama deadlocked in Pennsylvania.
If the Romney campaign's internal numbers are correct – and nearly all independent pollsters have come up with a picture much more favourable for Obama – then the former Massachusetts governor will almost certainly be elected 45th U.S. President.
The internal polls show Romney trailing in Nevada, reflected in a consensus among senior advisers that Obama will probably win the state. Early voting in Nevada has shown very heavy turnout in the Democratic stronghold of Clark County and union organisation in the state is strong.
Romney is to campaign in Cleveland, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on election day, reflecting the tightness of the race in Ohio and the tantalising prospect of success in Pennsylvania, which has not gone Republican in a presidential campaign for 24 years. The stops were added to Romney's schedule at the 11th hour in large part because of the internal polls.
Despite the Romney campaign's optimism, a Washington Post-ABC News poll released on the evening before the election gave Obama a slim lead, with 50 per cent for the President compared to 47 per cent for his challenger.
Polls released by Gallup and Rasmussen, however, both gave Romney a 49 per cent of the national vote, ahead of Obama on 48 per cent.
Nearly all public polling put Obama ahead in Ohio by whisker at least. The RealClearPolitics average of polls there gives the president a 2.8 per cent advantage.
But the Romney campaign insists that pollsters have their models wrong and are overestimating Democratic turnout, oversampling Democrats and underestimating Republican enthusiasm.
The most dramatic shift in the Romney campaign's internal polling has been in Wisconsin, which has moved from being eight points down to pulling level. Obama is campaigning in the state on the eve of election day.
Despite the Obama campaign's insistence that Romney's late decision to contest Pennsylvania is an act of 'desperation', former President Bill Clinton – Obama's most valuable ally on the stump – is holding four eve-of-election events there.
A surprise Romney win in Pennsylvania, which has 20 of the 270 electoral college votes needed for victory, would almost certainly be a fatal blow to Obama's re-election hopes.
If Romney took Wisconsin, that would offer him a credible path to victory without winning Ohio.
The Romney campaign believes that both Florida, Virginia and North Carolina – all of which Obama won in 2008 – are 'done' for the Democratic incumbent, as one senior adviser put it.
Many Republicans party officials are less bullish about Pennsylvania and Wisconsin than the Romney campaign, believing their nominee will probably fall short there, setting up a showdown in Ohio, which has 18 electoral college votes and decided the 2004 election for President George W. Bush.
Based on conversations with the Romney campaign, including a frank discussion with a senior Romney adviser, here's how they see the Republican nominee winning.
Of course, campaign aides spin reporters because they want their optimistic scenarios to become part of a media narrative that helps drive voters. They are also part of a self-reinforcing campaign bubble in which belief in eventual victory is a prerequisite of getting through gruelling days.
But the adviser quoted here, who correctly identified to me weeks beforehand that the first debate would be a game-changing moment for Romney, has always predicted a very close race and is honest enough to identify states such as Nevada which Romney probably won't win.
If we look at the 2008 electoral college map, when Obama beat Senator John McCain by an electoral college landslide of 365 to 173 (and seven percentage points in the popular vote), we can view the terrain on which the 2012 contest is being fought.
Looking back at the 2008 electoral college map, when Obama beat Senator John McCain by an electoral college landslide of 365 to 173 (and seven percentage points in the popular vote), we can view the terrain on which the 2012 contest is being fought.
The distribution of electoral college votes (which are based on congressional districts and U.S. Senate seats) has changed slightly in 2012. Because of the changes, Obama's advantage has shrunk to 359 to 179 in the electoral college. The winner needs 270 votes. So for Romney to win, he needs to take 91 electoral college votes from the states that Obama won in 2008.
We can immediately give one vote in Nebraska (based on winning a congressional district) and 11 in Indiana to Romney. Obama is not campaigning for those. Next up is 15 in North Carolina. Obama won it by just 14,000 votes in 2008 and early voting patterns indicate he's probably going to lose there.
Then we have Florida – its 29 votes are a huge prize. The latest Miami Herald/El Nuevo Herald poll has Obama being crushed by six points there. That's the next state Romney needs. The Romney adviser was very confident, telling me: 'North Carolina's baked. Florida's baked.'
From there, it gets more difficult. Virginia, with 13 votes, is tighter than Florida but, again, early voting patterns suggest Romney will win it, though not by much. The Romney adviser said that 'Virginia's baked' though he added that it was 'much closer than Florida'.
At this point, the Obama campaign would be really sweating. But so too would Romney's team. We'd be down to Ohio, just as President George W. Bush was in 2004. This year, it has 18 electoral college votes.
If Romney bags Ohio, he's on 266 electoral college votes and has multiple opportunities to get the four more he needs. Colorado's nine, New Hampshire's four, Iowa's six and Wisconsin's 10 look most likely. It's very hard to see Romney winning Florida, Virginia and Ohio and Obama keeping the White House.
Romney's aides seem very bullish about Iowa – more so, even, than Colorado, where they say he took a hit in their internal polling with women independents after Obama's handling of Hurricane Sandy. The latest Des Moines Register poll gives Obama a five-point advantage. But the Romney campaigns that the same poll put Obama up 17 in 2008 and he won the state by 10 points.
Privately, the Romney campaign has effectively conceded Nevada, which has six votes. 'Nevada, we'll probably fall short,' said the Romney adviser. 'That's just tough.' Romney hasn't travelled there since October 24th, just as Obama has stayed away from North Carolina.
More remarkably, the adviser said that Minnesota, 10 votes, and Pennsylvania, 20 votes, were distinct possibiities. He even predicted a possible win in Minnesota.
Pennsylvania is intriguing. There's a Susquehanna poll that puts the two candidates dead level. Obama has to be a heavy favourite – no Republican presidential candidate has won there since George H.W. Bush in 1988
But the Obama campaign has sent Bill Clinton to do four events in Pennsylvania on the eve of election day. After Obama himself – and perhaps even ahead of Obama – Clinton is their most valuable campaign resource. There is clearly some worry there.
So that's the electoral college arithmetic. There is not too much difference between the way the two campaigns view it.
The more difficult case to make is how Romney's vote is lifted so that on the spectrum of Obama states to capture (the order in terms of confidence seems to be Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Iowa, Ohio, Colorado, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Nevada and Michigan) it is a tide that rises above the Ohio threshold.
For that, several things have to happen: the battleground polls have to be wrong; undecideds have to vote for Romney; Romney's turnout has to be very high; Obama's vote has to be depressed.
Can so many polls be wrong? The short answer is yes. It is worth remembering that in January 2008 virtually no one in the political world believed that Hillary Clinton could win the New Hampshire primary over Obama, fresh off his Iowa victory. But win it she did.
This year, apart from Gallup and Rasmussen, pollsters have consistently over-sampled Democrats compared to Republicans. The Romney adviser said: 'The samples that they're using are geared towards 2008 results. So you get Democrats plus four on Pew, you've got Democrats plus eight on PPP.
'It's going to be a Republican plus one or Republicans plus two election. It's not 2008, it's not 2004, it's not 2000. It's a new election. It's 2012 and a completely different dynamic. Every election we re-write history on turnout.
'Gallup looked at it a week ago and decided it was going to be a more Republican electorate and they had it right.'
The closer you get to an election, the more likely undecideds are to break against the incumbent. Romney will also have voter enthusiasm on his side. Whether that's enough, remains an open question but the Romney campaign thinks so.
Certainly, in Florida, North Carolina and Colorado, the early voting evidence is encouraging for Romney supporters. In Ohio, the picture is more mixed. The Romney adviser predicted a win in Ohio by as little at 20,000 votes. In 2004, Bush won it by 119,00 votes and in 2008 Obama won it by 262,000.
It appears that Romney was damaged by Hurricane Sandy – he was virtually absent from the television screens for four days, the discussion turned away from jobs and the economy and
Obama's double act with Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey burnished his bipartisan credentials.
But the Romney adviser said that this has been turned around. 'Sandy didn't flip us with independents but it narrowed. Then on Friday we got back in business with the "revenge" ad. Finally, we got back into business.
'Then Mitt just hit it in speech after speech and it got people back, particularly independents. Again saw Obama as divisive, petty, the negative partisan guy that they'd been seeing since the November 2nd debate.'
Can the Romney campaign envisage Obama winning? The adviser responded: 'I don't see it. But his easiest path to that would be Ohio.
'He takes Ohio because Democratic men, hardworking lower middle class men, we don't get the margin we think we're getting. He somehow ekes it out. He gets Nevada, he gets Colorado, he gets New Hampshire. That's probably the scenario.'
The Obama campaign believes that is indeed the scenario that will deliver them the White House. On Tuesday, we will know which of the two very different versions – almost parallel universes – of this race presented by the two campaign worlds will be the one that represents reality.

The goal, according to Sgt. Andy Steele with the Denton County Sheriff's Department is for everyone to "have a good time and go home" after a day on Lake Lewisville.
Steele said patrols from his department and others are out on the lake doing safety inspections, randomly checking boats to make sure there's a life jacket for every boater and there's no underage drinking.
They are also checking to make sure whomever is driving the boat is sober.
Capt. Darrin Murray is on the lake Wednesday and was on the lake Sunday to help recover a couple of drowning victims. He said he's never pulled a victim from the water who was wearing a life jacket.
"They may not know their own strengths in the water," said Murray. "A lot of times they get out beyond the point where they feel comfortable or the contour of the bottom (of the lake) will drop off suddenly and they're not a strong swimmer. Especially in water with no visibility, it's harder if someone does go down for someone to find them."
Murray said his department provides free life jackets to kids and adults they see out on the water who don't have them. He said the frustrating part is sometimes they cruise back by and the people they gave the life jackets to still aren't wearing them.

Signaling and Takeover Deterrence with Stock Repurchases: Dutch Auctions versus Fixed Price Tender Offers
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): JOHN C. PERSONS
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 1373-1402
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1994.tb02458.x
This article presents a model of repurchase tender offers in which firms choose between the Dutch auction method and the fixed price method. Dutch auction repurchases are more effective takeover deterrents, while fixed price repurchases are more effective signals of undervaluation. The model yields empirical implications regarding price effects of repurchases, likelihood of takeover, managerial compensation, and cross‐sectional differences in the elasticity of the supply curve for shares.

Yesterday I found my mom cutting the tops off of Icee popsicles with MY good sewing scissors. Couldn't find the other 800 scissors in the house so she goes into my room and takes mine!
Certainly nowhere near as bad as the time when I found my ex's step dad using them to cut off the callouses off his feet (I threw that pair away!). But still!
I'm positive I'm not the only one who has caught someone else using the good sewing scissors for anything other than sewing. What's the worst way you've seen your good scissors being mistreated or are there people in your house who can't get it in their head that those are meant for your quilting/sewing projects and nothing else?

Review for Home Port Alliance for the USS New Jersey, Inc., Camden, NJ, USA
I have been a volunteer on the Battleship New Jersey for approximately 2 years conducting daytime tours for visitors as well as tours for our encampment program. Last year we had close to 18,000 campers who ate, slept and went on tour on the Battleship.
I have participated in various programs honoring our past and present military such as the promotion of James H. Rodman Jr from Captain to Rear Admiral.
As is Gettysburg a memorial to our hero veterans, the Battleship New Jersey is a interactive, living memorial to our veterans and we strive to keep their memory alive by our programs and activities.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
promoting and describing the role the ship and the men that fought on her to our visitors.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
work to spread the word and promote support of the endeavors of our crew on the Battleship.
