TUCSON - Pima County election workers are preparing for a push to complete counting the remaining provisional and early mail-in ballots within the 10 -day deadline.
Arizona state statute gives county recorders 10 days to verify and count each remaining ballot after the polls close, but as that deadline near, Pima County Recorder F. Ann Rodriguez said it's more of a "goal" than an actual deadline.
Think the election is over? Well, think again. It's been nine days since the polls, but thousands of ballots are still being processed.
Each provisional and mail-in ballot must be thoroughly checked by the county recorder's office before being sent over to the elections center for those voted to count.
Elections officials said there are roughly 10,000 provisional ballots that still need to be verified and 138 early ballots that need to be counted in Pima County.
"The issue that we had is that we got a really late start on the provisionals because so many early ballots were dropped off and not mailed as they normally do," said Rodriguez.
The provisional ballots go through a two step checking process. Most of the remaining ballots, officials said, have gone through the first step and are awaiting a second check.
With close races still undecided, such as in Congressional District 2, attention to detail is a must.
However, it's that process that could force the counting to continue well into the weekend.
"We feel really comfortable we'll make our goal but we really don't know until we get into each individual packet what happened in each individual voting area what's going to go on," Rodriguez told News 4 Tucson.
Cochise County officials reportedly finished their counting today, while Pima County elections staffers took the day off from counting. They are planning a big push tomorrow afternoon, finishing up their remaining early and provisional ballots.

The Maroon A Loyola Tradition Since 1923 • "For a greater Loyola" | V 01.90, No. 16 www. LoyolaMciroon. com m Friday, February 3, 201 2 Student loan interest rate scheduled to double in July By SCOTT O'BRIEN Senior Staff Writer The interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans are expected to double in July, an increase that could heap thousands of dollars on top of an undergraduate student's debt. President Barack Obama addressed the issue in his Jan. 24 State of the Union speech by urging Congress to prevent the increase from happening. Obama's proposal would extend the current rate for one year. Cathy Simoneaux, director of the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, said the interest rate on subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduate students is 3.4 percent. "Congress, a couple of years ago, cut the interest rate on student loans for undergraduate students, and so if Congress does nothing, the interest rate goes back to the statutory maximum of 6.8 percent in July," Simoneaux said. Sociology sophomore Mary Cassibry said she is paying for college on her own with the help of financial aid and federal loans. She said her biggest fear is that the PRECIOUS ESIE/THE MAROON Online program receives top national ranking By HANNAH lANNAZZO Assistant News Editor The U.S. News and World Report Education ranked the best online graduate programs in the country, and they named Loyola's School of Nursing online program one of the top in the nation. The online program was ranked number one in student services and technology, second in faculty credentials and training, and seventh in student engagement and accreditation. According to a Loyola press release from Jan. 16, Loyola was one of five nursing schools in the country and the only Jesuit university to be honored with this ranking. Loyola ranked ahead of Loyola University Chicago, Duke University, Arizona State University, University of Florida and St. Louis University. Luis Miron, dean of the College of Social Sciences, said the ranking is a benefit to the university. To my knowledge, few, if any, degree programs at Loyola have achieved a top-five national ranking as measured by U.S. News and World Report," he said. Thus distinction benefits not only the College of Social Sciences, but indeed, the university." Ann Cary, director of the School of Nursing, said the ranking brings recognition to the program s faculty. "I know the faculty arc delighted that the program acknowledges the reputation of the school, college and university," Cary said. "It reinforces our vision of excellence here at the school and our commitment to student learning." University President the Rev. Kevin Wildes, SJ., said being University cuts two frat pledge seasons By HANNAH lANNAZZO Assistant News Editor The university has canceled recruitment efforts of its two largest fraternities after university officials say they violated the rush policies. Phi Kappa Psi and Sigma Phi Epsilon will not be allowed to invite new members to join their fraternities this semester in a process known as rush. Pledge season will continue as planned for the Beggars and Sigma Alpha Kappa, the two other fraternities in the Inter Fraternity Council. Mass Comm professor accepts Dux Academicus By MARY JAMESON Staff Writer Robert Thomas has a new addition to his collection of jarred turtles in formaldehyde, stacks of environmental books and maps of Louisiana on his office wall: the Dux Academicus award. Each year Loyola recognizes one staff member "for excellence in teaching and scholarship. Recipients demonstrate an ability to impart knowledge and wisdom of the humanities, sciences, or the professions to students in a manner consistent with the unique philosophy of Loyola as a Jesuit institution of academic excellence."

This one looks really good, too! Yummy!
I don't know if anger is ever justifiable in my life. I believe we allow it in as a way to punish someone who has wronged us, but it really only hurts us, in the end.
Anger really has no benefits. - 3 July 2012 20:02
- Paula Martin said...
Thanks, Jen!
Daphne, he certainly thinks he has every right to be angry!
Jo - good point, and in this excerpt, Paul definitely thinks he has been wronged. Later he's going to realise that ... but I can't tell you that without giving away the rest of the story :-) - 3 July 2012 20:18

I think anger can be justified and does actually have a place in our lives. It's how we act on it that is the hard part. Great excert and I look forward to reading the rest of it Paula!

Good comment, Amy. As you say, it's how we act on it that's important. - 4 July 2012 22:23

Tweet burning Olympic transport questions tomorrow
9:32am Thursday 5th July 2012 in Bromley By Sarah Trotter
THE CHANCE to tweet your burning Olympic travel queries is on offer tomorrow.
Transport Commissioner Peter Hendy CBE will be on Twitter between 10.30 to 11.30 am to answer questions - from how commuters can avoid transport hotspots to how businesses are preparing for the Games.
Tweeps can use the hashtag#AskPeter to fire their questions on the Get Ahead of the Games Twitter feed @GAOTG.
The debate will be hosted by the official London 2012 and Transport for London and a transcript can be viewed later on GetAheadoftheGames.com
London's Transport Commissioner Peter Hendy CBE said: "During the Games, London will be turned into a massive sporting and cultural venue.
"Parts of the transport network are going to be exceptionally busy, so we're urging people not chance it.
"Talking to people directly on Twitter is just another way that we're offering people advice and support to help them plan ahead to avoid the travel hotspots."

People come in all shapes and sizes, but the average shape and size of most Americans has increased to the point where there is cause for concern. More than 1/3 of all adults in our country are obese and that statistic just keeps growing - like our waistlines. Excess fat not only contributes to a higher number on the scale, it also increases your risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Fat is an essential, complex organ of our body that helps to protect bones and organs, and it regulates hormones and the immune system. It even sends messages out to the body when it's time to eat, and when the body is satisfied. Issues arise when our bodies have stored too much fat, particularly in the abdominal area.
Subcutaneous Fat - fat that can be pinched with the fingers, located close to the surface of the skin. It might not be the most cosmetically appealing for some, but more importantly, it's not associated with any major health concerns.
Visceral Fat - fat that is located deeper in the abdomen, surrounding internal organs. Visceral fat is less visible to the eye, but is associated with many health concerns, including:
It's not just the type of fat we have that matters to our health. Where that fat is stored in the body is also important. Each body is different, but there are two common classifications of body shape: the "Apple" and the "Pear".
For years, it was thought that more health risks were associated with the apple shape, but recent studies show that pear shaped bodies have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome. In other words, too much fat is harmful - especially visceral fat - no matter where it's stored.
Obesity rates are continuously rising, and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Instead of focusing on which fruit we most resemble, it's time to start eating more of them! Regardless of our body shape, exercise, going to the doctor regularly and eating a balanced diet are the best ways to achieve optimal health.

However, many do choose to register. Benefits include the possibility of purchasing a British-style Consular registration certificate and having a permanent record of the birth held at the General Register Office in the UK.

What are smallpox symptoms and signs?Symptoms develop seven to 17 days after exposure. Fever is the most common initial symptom and can be quite high. This is accompanied by body aches. Often, the patient is too unwell to get out of bed. Within 24 to 48 hours, a rash begins to appear everywhere on the body but especially on the legs, arms, mouth, and face. The eyes may also be affected, leading to potential blindness among survivors. Symptoms in children are similar to adults. The rash also appears on the palms and soles and goes through stages as the disease progresses. At the beginning, the rash consists of red dots that become raised. The lesions (see Figure 1) rapidly fill with fluid resembling a blister or cold sore and are known as "vesicles." The fluid in the vesicles may turn yellow, resembling pus. Rarely, the rash may start to fill with blood (hemorrhagic smallpox), which is a poor prognostic sign. After one to two weeks, the lesions scab over and eventually fall off, leaving deep scars. One of the defining features of smallpox is that all the lesions on the body are always at the same stage of development. This is in contrast to chickenpox where new lesions form while old ones are healing. Approximately one-third of people with smallpox died from the infection. People who had an extensive rash were at higher risk to die. People who had only a few lesions or a milder rash had a lower risk of death. Infections caused by the variola minor strain were less severe and death occurred in only approximately 1% of cases. |

A Capitol Vision From a Self-Taught Architect
In 1792, William Thornton designed America's defining monument, where a new visitor center opens in December
- By Fergus M. Bordewich
- Smithsonian magazine, December 2008, Subscribe
In the torrid summer of 1792, William Thornton, the 33-year-old son of wealthy planters on the Caribbean island of Tortola, labored over a set of architectural drawings. Thornton, who had been trained as a physician but was now trying his hand at architecture, seemed unaware of the oppressive heat. As his sheaf of sketches grew, Thornton's thoughts were focused on the nation that had inspired his endeavor—the fledgling democracy of the United States, whose shores lay more than a thousand miles distant. When he looked up from his desk, Thornton gazed out across the plantations of Pleasant Valley, where slaves toiled in the terraced fields. Since the 1750s, Thornton's Quaker family had prospered on 12-mile-long Tortola (today part of the British Virgin Islands), where sugar, cotton, tobacco and indigo were grown. By the 1790s, export crops carpeted the island's deep valleys and razorback ridges, bringing great fortunes to many and guilt to a few, including Thornton, who abhorred slavery.
As Thornton refined his drawings, the air was thick with the pungent scent of sugar cane being refined into molasses and rum; the cooing of mountain doves mingled with the thud of waves onshore in nearby Sea Cow Bay. Gradually, a magnificent building—the United States Capitol—took shape on Thornton's papers. The structure, he believed, would rise as a shrine to republican government. (On December 2, 2008, the most recent addition to the nation's defining monument—the $621 million Capitol Visitor Center—will be inaugurated when it opens to the public after six years of construction.)
"I have made my drawings with the greatest accuracy, and the most minute attention," Thornton wrote to federal commissioners charged with selecting a design from more than a dozen submissions. "In an affair of so much consequence to the dignity of the United States," he added, it was his hope that "you will not be hasty in deciding."
Several months earlier, in the spring of 1792, the government of President George Washington had begun soliciting designs for the Capitol. The intention was to create a structure that would embody the lofty ideals of the new nation and serve as a defining landmark in a new federal city that was to rise on the banks of the Potomac River. According to historian Kenneth R. Bowling of George Washington University, our first president well understood the significance of the national capital's location. By siting the city "in the Middle States," says Bowling, President Washington envisioned that future city would play "a fundamental role in the survival of the Union, by uniting the North, South and West." The Capitol building, Bowling adds, would serve as the city's political anchor—a physical counterpart to the Constitution and a kind of temple to the secular religion of republican government.
Heated competition for the site of the capital city had raged for years, reaching its height during the First Federal Congress, which met in New York from 1789 to 1790. Fierce backroom negotiations went on for months. In the end, factions advocating for Philadelphia and New York were outmaneuvered by those who argued for a location on the Potomac River, equidistant between North and South, easily defended and naturally attractive to international trade. Southerners also feared that establishing a capital in the North—where those in bondage were already being emancipated—would help to undermine slavery. (As a conciliatory gesture to Pennsylvania, Philadelphia was named the temporary capital until Congress could take up residence on the Potomac in 1800.)
By mid-1792, the "city" existed as little more than a speculative if magnificent plan, mapped out by French-born engineer Pierre Charles L'Enfant. (Washington had first met L'Enfant at Valley Forge during the terrible winter of 1777-78, when L'Enfant served under the commander in chief.) Only a handful of streets had been laid out, designated by surveyor's stakes and lines of felled trees radiating across landowners' forests and pastures. Washington and his allies wanted buildings that would embody the nation's hoped-for future. "In our Idea the Capitol ought in point of prosperity to be on a grand Scale, and that a Republic especially ought not to be sparing of expenses on an Edifice for such purposes," wrote the three recently appointed commissioners overseeing creation of the new capital city.
The commissioners also solicited designs for an official residence to be known as the President's House. The winners would receive $500 and, in the case of the Capitol, a city lot as well. For the President's House, Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, the administration's resident aesthete, had expressed a desire for something "modern," perhaps, he suggested, resembling the Louvre or another Parisian landmark. For the Capitol, however, Jefferson had in mind the architecture of classical Rome: "I should prefer the adoption of some of the models of antiquity, which have had the approbation of thousands of years."
Indeed, it was Jefferson who had come up with the name Capitol Hill, consciously invoking the famous temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline Hill in ancient Rome. (The tract of land slated for the Capitol had been known as Jenkins Hill.) Jefferson was also appropriating the mantle of the Roman Republic, with its political freedoms and popular government. "Jefferson didn't want to take any chances with the Capitol and the public buildings," says William C. Allen, architectural historian in the Office of the Architect at the U.S. Capitol. "He wanted them based on buildings that were already famous and admired. Basically, he wanted the Europeans to stop laughing at us."

Some years ago I purchased a subscription of The Smithsonian at the local desk in D.C. I received a wonderful edition which included workshops, local events, and was especially interesting. Do you know about this edition? Several times I have subscribed and asked for the local edition. Please let me know if there is such an edition. I am 73, do not work anymore and love your city. I would go to work shops if I knew about them.
Thank You,

I just completed reading Scott Berg's book called, "Grand Avenues" about L'Enfant being the original architect and planner of the federal city. The same commisioners and Jefferson who supported and praised Thornton's design were also the ones who brought about the demise of L'Enfant. Jefferson took L'Enfant's plan for the city, have it tweeked and put in Andrew Ellicot's name on the engraving, which left L'Enfant devastated for the rest of his life. Only in the early 1900's was his plan enacted by the more advanced nation and his name finally credited. The politics behind the design and making of the federal city seem to come down to Jefferson. Your story of Thornton's process of approval seem very simple, whereas L'Enfant's was rifed with struggles and as if Jefferson had some enmity towards him. Why? And do you know if L'Enfant himself, along with his plan for the city, also had a design of the Capitol building which upon the departure of L'Enfant Jefferson and the commissioners began soliciting new designs for it?

A Fayetteville auto dealer who was raising money to promote a parks referendum is returning the donations.
Mike Lallier is the treasurer of Vote for our Parks municipal referendum committee, which he created last summer when the City Council was contemplating a $45 million parks and recreation bond package.
Lallier, a member of Fayetteville's Public Works Commission, was going to spearhead an effort to get people out to vote in favor of a referendum, originally set for Feb. 26. He is friends with Mayor Tony Chavonne, a key proponent of the bond package.
In November, however, the council was deadlocked 5-5 on whether to hold the referendum, which required a public hearing first. The tie vote meant no action could be taken.
Now, politics has doomed any chance of having a bond package this year because municipal elections will be held, Chavonne said.
Last week, Cumberland County Commissioner Billy King withdrew his request to have his board discuss whether to rejoin the parks bond effort, citing "some of the City Council's internal political struggles."
The proposed $45 million referendum was part of an overall $54.6 million plan to build new parks, athletic fields, pools and recreation buildings, including a combined field house, senior center and indoor pool at Mazarick Park.
If passed by voters, city property taxes would have risen by almost 5 percent to pay down the general obligation bonds.
The referendum committee had raised $11,500 through the end of last year, according to the most recent public report made to the Cumberland County Board of Elections in January.
Two donors gave $5,000 apiece. One was Fayetteville developer Murray Duggins, who is partnering with local officials in the Hope VI redevelopment on Old Wilmington Road. The other was H&H Constructors Inc., whose chief executive officer is Ralph Huff. He won council approval last fall to build Park View Manor at the former Days Inn site on Bragg Boulevard.
George Breece, a Fayetteville political insider and executive director of a national prosthetic association, gave $500.
According to public documents, the committee reimbursed Duggins all of his donation Nov. 26.
Lallier said he's returning Huff's check, too.
"They are willing to help us if the plan comes back," Lallier said.
After expenses, the committee had $3,633 left in the bank Dec. 31.
Lallier doesn't plan to close out the committee. By law, he can keep it active as long as he makes regular financial reports with the Board of Elections.
"We are waiting to see what the council might or might not do and what the county decides," Lallier said.
Spring Lake's first-term mayor, Chris Rey, plans to seek re-election this year.
He took to Twitter to make this announcement on Feb. 6: "November 5, 2013 is election day. I cant (sic) believe it has almost been two years. #MayorRey2013."
Rey, 35, soundly defeated 10-year incumbent Ethel Clark in 2011. Last year, Rey campaigned for President Obama.
At last Monday's work session, Fayetteville City Council members talked about the various federally funded programs that a lobbyist will go after. They are programs in transportation, public safety and workforce development.
Councilman Wade Fowler, a conservative Republican, said the federal budget is running trillion-dollar deficits annually, and he wondered aloud if the council's quest for more money from Washington wasn't emblematic of the problem. He acknowledged he was raising an esoteric point.
Mayor Tony Chavonne said Washington was going to spend the money, regardless if Fayetteville and Cumberland County go after some it.
City Manager Ted Voorhees agreed.
"It's a nice philosophical question," Voorhees said.
But, Voorhees added, an argument can be made that the presence of Fort Bragg gives Fayetteville a disproportionate need for federal help.
Since 2005, the city, Cumberland County and the Fayetteville Regional Chamber have partnered with The Ferguson Group, a Washington lobbyist.
U.S. Rep. David Price, a Democrat for the 4th District, recently opened his first district office in Fayetteville.
The veteran congressman from Chapel Hill was in Fayetteville and on Fort Bragg on Jan. 28 to mark the occasion. He stopped at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Methodist University, Fayetteville State University and Cape Fear Valley Medical Center.
The office is at the U.S. post office in downtown Fayetteville, 301 Green St., Suite 315. The district office's temporary phone number is 910-339-9798, but by the end of this week, it's scheduled to change to 910-323-0260.
Price's district is new to the Fayetteville area. The boundaries were redrawn in 2011 to include parts of Cumberland County. He is on the Appropriations Subcommittee's Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Subcommittee. He is also on that committee's Transportation and Housing Subcommittee.
U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina, is one of two senators to receive the Edwin C. Whitehead Award for Medical Research Advocacy from Research!America, a nonprofit education advocacy group. The other winner was Sen. Bob Casey, a Pennsylvania Democrat. They will receive their awards March 13 in Washington.
The Cumberland County Democratic Party will hold a precinct organization meeting today from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the Pate Room at the Cumberland County Headquarters Library, 300 Maiden Lane. The meeting is open to precinct chairmen or their representatives, and to all registered Democrats. Precinct chairmen who are unable to attend are asked to contact party Chairwoman Vikki Andrews at 964-5828.
The Fayetteville Republican Women's Club will meet Thursday at Morgan's Chop House at 201 S. McPherson Church Road. The program will feature Carolyn Justice, who is retiring from the N.C. House of Representatives after 10 years. Lunch buffet starts at 11:30 a.m.; the meeting is at noon. For reservations or information on costs for the meal or beverage, send an email to email@example.com or call 864-0335.
The Cumberland County Republican Women's Club membership meeting will be Thursday at Highland Country Club. The social begins at 6:30 p.m., and the business meeting at 7. Wine, cheese, finger sandwiches and dessert will be served. Among the guest speakers will be state Rep. John Szoka and his wife, Laurie; former state representative candidate Diana Carroll and her husband, Bob; and City Councilman Wade Fowler and his wife, Kim. They will discuss the challenges of running for political offices and its effect on their marriages. To make a reservation or inquire about the costs for the food and wine, call Sue Dennis at 425-4353 or send her an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cumberland County Progressives will meet Saturday from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at Spinners Pizza, 2805 Raeford Road. For more information, call 960-7048 or go to cumberlandcountyprogressives.com.

Mob wars are ugly things, but not all ugliness is created equal. Things are going bad in Bangkok, and one Yakuza leader named Shinoda Yoshinori has been receiving a series of unsettling messages: bodies of other members of his gumi, packaged and delivered in a decidedly unique fashion.

The Sharks are Circling
When the great dragon Hestaby leveled Saeder-Krupp's arcology in Dubai, a lot of people wondered if the success of her act meant that Lofwyr & co. were off their game.

Shadowrunners have a lot of rules, and each and every one of them can be overruled by the proper amount of nuyen.

How Long Until Billy Buffalo Does This To Dick Jauron
Fans aren't the only ones who take Turkish soccer losses hard. Mascots do as well. However they don't just get mad, they get even. Manager Mustafa Denizli took one the hard way when the mascot turned himself into a human torpedo after a Turkish loss.
We're going to assume that he kept the cigarette in his mouth when he executed the flying head butt. Far be it for us to suggest fans or mascots resort to violence but if they do, Tom Cable, Eric Mangini and Manny Acta should keep their heads on a swivel. There's nothing like getting a flying headbutt from a morbidly obese man wearing a dog mask.

Who The F#@k Is Irv Da Phenom?!
Brian Sliggs said:
Who's irv da phenom?*Zb
Hence, WTFIIDP (Who The Fuck Is IRV Da Phenom)
great, great
sick potluck brings it.
how can people listen to STRANGE and not recognize the names: Irv Da Phenom/Nesto the Owner/Oobergeek/JL OR B Hood/Craig Smith/Paul Mussan/Ron Ron/Popper, etc?? I have over 20 different albums/mixtapes of those artists, plus there are many others I didn't mention...and unlike so many others, I actually supported all those artists.
All of those them have been featured on official Strange CDs (not just n9ne) and their albums/mixtapes are much better than anything on MuchMusic/MTV/BET,etc. [IMO] Of course, not everyone will enjoy those artists, but there is a reason why, Tech, Kali, Kutt, Scoob, etc. are featuring them & they certainly deserve a lot more attention!!
& thanks SHX for the update...i was on bandcamp last week and got irv's: Dream Big Hustle Hard CD and this song wasn't released yet. Muchly appreciated!!
great collabo with Humboldt's Finest!! I wish it was May.8th already...haha...can't wait to hear the new album!! & with Gritters Gospel around the corner, this is going to be a GreaT 2012!!
irv da phenom' said:
I really enjoyed the first and last verses. The second verse was pretty average, but it didn't affect the overall quality of the song. The chorus sample was pretty catchy, pleasing to the ears. The instrumental definitely seems to be Reggae influenced and quite frankly it suites this joint well (no pun intended). I'm looking forward to Irv Da Phenom's new LP, should be pretty epic from what I've had the chance to hear thus far.
