Raleigh, N.C. – Tom Barrett would be the front runner if he decides to seek the Democratic nomination for Governor of Wisconsin in the upcoming recall election. He leads Kathleen Falk 46-27 and David Obey 42-30 in potential head to heads. He also gets 26% to 22% for Falk, 21% for Obey, and 11% for Tim Cullen in a hypothetical four way contest.
If Barrett doesn't end up throwing his hat in the ring, it looks like Obey would have a better chance at the nomination than Falk as well. He leads her 43-28 in a head to head contest.
Barrett has the best favorability numbers of the candidates at a +30 spread (53/23). He's followed by Obey at +20 (43/23), Falk at +8 (36/28), and Cullen at +6 (25/19).
Barrett may have greater name recognition than Falk, but that's not the reason for his early advantage. Among likely primary voters with an opinion about Falk, whether it's positive or negative, Barrett's lead remains pretty much unchanged at 47-33.
There's a great deal of interest in the potential primary beyond the Democratic base. We find that 30% of likely voters for it are independents and 11% are even Republicans.
Core Democrats prefer Barrett over Falk 53-25, Barrett over Obey 44-32, and Obey over Falk 48-27. In the four way contest 31% say they'd support Barrett to 25% for Obey with Falk slipping into third at 18% and Cullen at 9%.
"Tom Barrett would be the top choice of Wisconsin Democrats to take on Scott Walker," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. "If he doesn't run they'd prefer David Obey. Kathleen Falk is not at the top of voters' lists."
Opponents of Scott Walker are submitting the signatures for a potential recall election today. A primary to pick his opponent will likely be held sometime this spring.
PPP surveyed 522 likely Democratic primary voters on January 16th. The margin of error for the survey is +/-4.3%. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews. PPP is a Democratic polling company, but polling expert Nate Silver of the New York Times found that its surveys in 2010 actually exhibited a slight bias toward Republican candidates.
Topline results are below. Full results, includings crosstabs, can be found here.

This is a traditional recipe for pumpkin pie, which begins with solid pack canned pumpkin. Make sure you don't use pumpkin pie filling or the recipe won't work. Serve it with whipped cream flavored with sugar and a bit of cinnamon. It's the perfect recipe for the holidays, to serve after Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
There's nothing as wonderful as a simple and basic pie. There's a reason recipes like this one have lasted for decades; it is delicious and perfect. I wouldn't fiddle with this recipe too much; it's meant to be eaten just as it is, celebrating the fall harvest.
What You'll Need
- 1 (9 inch) pie crust
- 1 (15 ounce) can solid pack pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare the pie crust and set aside.
- Place the pumpkin, eggs, cream, brown sugar, and spices in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, or combine and beat well with mixer in a large mixing bowl. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell and place on a baking pan to catch any spills.
- Bake the pie at 375 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until the custard is set and the pie crust has browned, although the center will still look wet. A knife inserted about 1" from side of pan will come out almost clean.
- Place the baked pie on a rack to cool. Then cover and store in the refrigerator until serving time. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream made by whipping 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 3 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board and I disagree about almost everything, including the legacy of the late Robert Novak.
The op-ed page, however, is a different matter. And on Tuesday the Journal ran a guest commentary by Andy Kessler that says what many of us have been thinking about AT&T's (t) role in Apple's (aapl) rejection of Google's (goog) Google Voice app -- the universal telephone number and voice mail system the telcos should have offered us years ago. (See here.)
Like most observers, Kessler, a former hedge fund manager, blames AT&T for forcing Apple's hand, and he doesn't mince words. [UPDATE: In letters to the FCC, Apple and AT&T make it clear that it was Apple that decided not to accept the app, no AT&T. See here.]
"What this episode really uncovers," he writes, "is that AT&T is dying ... cling[ing] to the old business of charging for voice calls in minutes."
Unlike, we imagine, the Journal's editorial board, Kessler welcomes the intervention of the FCC and its new Chairman Julius Genachowski, arguing that the United States can't just rethink its communications policy -- even that is obsolete. What we need, he says, is a new national data policy, and he offers four suggestions:
<!-- more -->
- End phone exclusivity. Any device should work on any network. Data flows freely.
- Transition away from "owning" airwaves. As we've seen with license-free bandwidth via Wi-Fi networking, we can share the airwaves without interfering with each other.
- End municipal exclusivity deals for cable companies. TV channels are like voice pipes, part of an era that is about to pass.
- Encourage faster and faster data connections to our homes and phones. It should more than double every two years.
"Data is toxic to old communications and media pipes," Kessler writes. "Instead, data gains value as it hops around in the packets that make up the Internet structure."
He's calling for nothing less than the end of the 135-year-old Alexander Graham Bell era. And not a moment too soon.

John Hendricks' adventures in curiosity
On the eve of the launch of his Curiosity Project — the first of two five-night events begins today — Gateway Canyons founder John Hendricks spoke about his latest educational initiative, which he believes will allow audiences to "dive deep" into the topics of science, technology, civilization and "the human spirit."
His lecture on Earth history today launches a series of Curiosity Retreats.
Cost to attend the lectures can be as much as $6,000, but the retreats are limited to 70 attendees. The fee, an obvious demonstration of supply and demand, helps sponsor the work and travel of experts.
Future speakers include:
■ Dr. Vint Cerf, vice president and "chief Internet evangelist" at Google, who will discuss the "The Future of the Internet."
■ Author and physician Dr. Deepak Chopra, who will speak on "Journey Into Enlightenment."
■ Dr. Michio Kaku, professor of theoretical physics at City College of New York, who will speak on "The Future of the Mind and Beyond."
Experts in the fields of the Middle East and global security, China, nanotechnology, particle physics and "The Science of Happiness" are also slated to hold forth among the red rocks at future retreat events.
The next five-day intellectual adventure will be July 20-25.
As a bonus, Tesla Motors will capitalize on the scenic and beautiful byway that is Colorado Highway 141 by creating a special display and driving experience for the 2014 attendees, according to the resort.
Beginning in 2015, Hendricks said, he will be working with universities to customize future retreats featuring top faculty experts whose presentations and "deep dive" interviews will be captured on video and made available online, he said.

Attached are my photos-I have extremely thin and skeletal legs, and i have a LOT of fat in my upper body. I have researched and found a doctor with extensive experience since 1996 performing fat transfer for calf augmentation. He claims fat can be placed anywhere in the lower leg, including shins/ankles, and the results are permanent. In fact, his representative told me she has never seen a patient of his in which the fat has dissolved. I just wanted some other opinions on these claims. Thanks.
Is Fat Grafting for Skinny Legs (Calves, Shins, Ankles) a Reasonable Option? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Is Fat Grafting for Skinny Legs (Calves, Shins, Ankles) a Reasonable Option? (photo
I would say it is possible but I would have low expectations as to how natural it looks after and keep in mind you would need several treatments for longevity.
My advice would be to forego this option.
Dr. Malouf
Skinny legs fat transfer
Very interesting. I'm sure it can be done but I don't know anyone who has done it. I presented many years ago to the ASAPS all the less common areas for fat grafting. I'm sure with careful googling you can find a doctor who does this

LL Cool J joins Best Damn Show 9 lineup
If you were thinking about going to Wild 98.7's Last Damn Show 9 to catch T.I., you can forget all that. Not only is the rapper facing federal gun charges (and serious time), he's no longer headlining the annual show.
But kickin' it old school is LL Cool J, who is joining the lineup as the new main event, the station's Web site says. He'll be a part of a group that includes Lil Wayne, Fabolous, Three 6 Mafia and Plies.
Don't forget that the show has moved to Nov. 2, but it's still at the Trop. Tickets are still available at the Trop's box office or through Ticketmaster (with an added inconvenience fee).

|James William
was born at Charlesworth, near Glossop, Derbyshire in 1862, youngest
of stone mason Peter Ingham (1821-1874) and his wife Hannah. When
his father died in 1874 - James was only twelve - his mother and a
Eliza opened a draper's business on the High Street in nearby
Another sister, Mary Jane, became a teacher, while his two brothers,
and Peter, were stone masons like their father.
After finishing school James too went to work in the draper's shop. This business continued until at least the early 1900s. In 1912, however, probably after the death of his mother, his unmarried sister Eliza was running the shop. A directory for that year shows her as a dressmaker at 71 High Street West, Glossop. James was at the same address, but described as a picture frame maker. It seems likely that he took up photography at around this time, and that the business was fairly short-lived. Adamson (1997) states that he was operating as a photographer in 1912 and 1913. By 1926, James may have moved to New Mills, as a directory for that year shows "J & A Ingham, tailor, 25 New Road."
The only example of his work seen so far (below) is a standard postcard with a simple maker's stamp on the reverse.

Not pregnant, but I love to hear your opinions :)
Our first daughter's middle name will be Adeline after my grandmother. (Unless we use Adeline as a first name, and then her middle name will be Alice after both of my husband's grandmothers).
Our last name sounds like March, but starts with a B.
Feel free to let me know if you'd change something up or just really don't like any of them. I won't mind!

No. 2: Johnny Cash, 'Folsom Prison Blues' – Top 100 Country Songs
A locomotive backbeat and prison wall lyrics defined the career of Johnny Cash. A strong argument could be made that this sound was built first on 'Folsom Prison Blues,' the No. 2 Song on the Top 100 Country Songs list.
Cash first released the song in 1955, but it wasn't a hit until 13 years later, when it became a No. 1 single in the U.S. and Canada. It's amazing how strong and confident the Man in Black sounded on this early recording. He helped make famous an outlaw style that would forever be imitated, duplicated and replicated. There's no arguing that the man, like this song, was a true original.

SOURCE: Dallas Observer

Alice Cooper
Verizon Theatre, Grand Prairie
Tuesday, February 10, 2015
When it comes to Alice Cooper, there are two indisputable facts. 1.) His Miliii-wau-kee cameo in Wayne's World was one of the best and most memorable cameos of all time; and 2.) The man knows how to put on one hell of a live show.
Neither of those facts were tested last night on Cooper's Dallas stop on the Raise the Dead tour at Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie. But what was surprising was just how fresh the show could still feel after all these years, in all its campy, over-the-top glory.
Because Cooper has always secretly been the polite, albeit mascara-laden, rocker, he opened the show very shortly after the 8 p.m. start time. (Don't want to keep the fine paying folks waiting, do we?) From the moment the aging shock-rocker stepped onstage, it was obvious that not much has changed him, and especially his vocal abilities, over the years.
He jumped right into classic rock staples like "No More Mr. Nice Guy" with the ease of a seasoned vet. At 66, his voice still sounds eerily similar to what it did on those old albums. It almost feels unnatural.
When you really think about it, Cooper has been scaring children (and conservative parents) for so long, it doesn't seem plausible that he'd still be up there, kicking goth-rock's ass. But somehow, he does it. And he does it quite well.
Cooper plowed through the first half of the set with staples like "I'll Bite Your Face Off" while snapping bullwhips and grimacing menacingly as the audience, generation after generation of Alice Cooper fans, all watched intently.
While I am admittedly not a die-hard Cooper fan, I have to give it to him: He certainly knows how to put on a show for his fans. After all, putting on a "show" has always been at the heart of what he does. And interestingly, the musicianship in Cooper's shows is on par with the camp.
There were incredible drum solos and rockin' guitar riffs layered in with those giant, novelty-sized coffee cups, and the aging rocker perpetually pumped his fist, vacillating between singing and hate-flirting with the audience.
He even gets killed a few times during the show — a part the very enthusiastic Cooper fan next to me kept waiting for. Repeatedly.
"Oh, man. I think he's gonna get killed now. Ooh — he's totally gonna get killed now," proclaimed my seat mate. "See the giant guillotine? Cooper gets killed about three times in each show. Check it out!" he urged, gleefully.
And indeed he was right. Cooper was, in fact, preparing himself to be beheaded, with the help of a blood-thirsty nurse. His severed head was carried around stage like a campy trophy, and the whole thing was gory and awesome.

NEWLY crowned Football Association of Wales player of the year Joe Allen is determined his side will reign supreme in Friday night's 'Battle of Britain' clash with Scotland.
The Liverpool midfielder is one of the few Wales players to enhance their status on the international stage in the last 12 months.
Manager Chris Coleman has yet to lead his team to victory in five matches and they were hammered 6-1 in Serbia last time out.
That defeat last month, coupled with a 2-0 loss at home to Belgium in the first 2014 World Cup qualifier, means Wales are again in danger of their campaign ending before it has really begun.
But Allen says the whole squad is confident of getting their first points against the Scots at Cardiff City Stadium.
"Everyone is hungry to set the record straight after Serbia," said the 22-year-old playmaker.
"The biggest disappointment from that game was that we gave it everything but it just didn't happen.
"We shoulder that responsibility and there are no excuses from now on.
"We've got to make sure that every game we perform to the best of our abilities."
Allen insists that the players are to blame for recent poor results and not new manager Coleman.
"When it comes down to it, when we cross the white line, it's down to us players and in recent times it hasn't been as good as it can be," he admitted. "We're going to strive to change that.
"You reflect on games like that and the most important thing is that you can learn things from it.
"We've had the time to analyse the Serbia match and we saw what wasn't right on the night.
"But you look at the talent in the squad and we've got some top players who are capable of getting points in this group," he added.
"It makes it difficult when you lose your first two games but we are determined to qualify."
The former Swansea City ace says also backed the manager's decision to install Ashley Williams as captain in place of Aaron Ramsey.
"Aaron has been a fantastic captain for us and Ash is going to be great for us as well," he said.
"It makes no difference to us players, we'll go out there with the same approach.
"The manager knows best and if he thinks it will help Aaron then I'm sure it will.
"He's been playing well for Arsenal and I'm sure he's looking forward to bringing that form to the international stage.
"I know Ash is a natural leader. You can see that at club level with Swansea and there were no worries about him getting the armband."

I think anyone in the medical field has to learn to put their personal beliefs aside, pro life is no different. There are people who choose bot to get blood transfusions due to religious beliefs, or who turn down chemo because they believe in crystal healing therapy.
What you believe as a medical practitioner is far less important that your ability to keep quiet when your patients beliefs don't match your own. (I know a lot of nurses and I know their opinions on a lot of the things their patients do, they somehow manage to bite their tongues every day and avoid getting fired, I'm sure the op will be no different if she chooses this field)

Teddy Roosevelt was a sickly rich kid who grew into a little man with a high voice, and spent the rest of his life in the relentless pursuit of bad-assery. While in public office in Washington, he decided it was time to kill some people. So he went to San Antonio—at the time, a middle-of-nowhere cowboy town—and posted up in the Menger Hotel. He recruited the toughest-looking dudes who walked through the door, then took them to Cuba to start a war. He compared firing a gun to having an orgasm in terms of pleasure and necessity. Even his signature policy accomplishment as President, the "trust-busting" of monopolies, has a tough-guy name. He would scoff at Obama for issuing a "kill order" instead of personally going to Pakistan to carry it out himself. For his sheer mythic ruggedness alone, Teddy Roosevelt is the sort of President to whom candidates in both parties routinely compare themselves. But when it comes to a simple foot race, the 26th President of the United States just can't win.
At every home game, the Washington Nationals have the President's Race, where the heads of Mount Rushmore—I'll save you the Google search: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and TR—run around the field. They have giant heads, and maneuver with the toddler-ian gracelessness generally associated with humans in giant felt mascot outfits. It's amusing. Except, Teddy never wins. No, really: not ever.
This means that Teddy Roosevelt has a Bobcats-like 456-game losing streak. He has been prevented from winning most races due to unusual circumstances, such as Washington and Jefferson mounting a tandem bike. At other times, Teddy's decision to don a makeshift cosmonaut helmet has critically impaired his vision; when he boarded a Segway, he wound up getting disqualified.
To dig deeper into an ongoing injustice that tarnishes the image of perhaps the truest American Badass, I spoke with Scott Ableman, founder of Let Teddy Win, a site dedicated to documenting this true American tragedy. He shared some thoughts on what the race has meant to the Nats since they moved to DC in 2005, and why now is the perfect time to let Teddy win.
In the early days at RFK, the Presidents Race often got more attention than the Nationals. Did you ever feel like the race was bigger than the game?
I've been a loyal season ticket holder since the team first came to DC in 2005. I share tickets with a group of other fans and bloggers. When the Presidents Race was created, I saw pretty quickly that for some people it was a bigger draw than the product on the field, which unfortunately wasn't very good at that time. When the Nationals came to town, my son was ten years old and had never had a local baseball team to root for, so he wasn't really a baseball fan. If you want to cultivate those future fans, you need things to bring them to the ballpark. The junk food and the stadium entertainment is a big part of the draw for kids, especially when a team is losing 103 games. Now my son is 17 and pays attention to every pitch. On May 1, he and his schoolmates sang the national anthem, but you can be sure he raced back to his seat to take in Bryce Harper's first home game. It still bothers me that the Presidents race is introduced as "the main event." It should not be and is not the main event.
At the same time, I saw the potential for the Presidents Race to bring fans to a struggling team, and was surprised that the Nats didn't even have standings on their website. When I created Let Teddy Win, I certainly didn't expect it to be such a big thing, but the community really embraced it. People in this town see the injustice, they want to raise their voice on behalf of this great president, and they want to know every day what happens in the Presidents race.
With Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg, the Nats now have two legit stars on the team that draw national attention, unlike the RFK days. They're also currently leading the division. Now that the team is actually good do you think the race won't be the "main event" for long?
A lot of fans hope they stop introducing it as "The Main Event," and I hope the Nats will listen. It's not like this is the first year there's been compelling baseball at Nationals Park. It's been fantastic watching the Nats slowly build a nucleus. They're doing it the right way, and it's unbelievably exciting to see.
I grew up in Ohio and rooted for the Reds when Rose and Bench and Morgan were young. I lived in New York City when Davey brought up Gooden and Strawberry. I lived in Chicago when the Bulls drafted Michael, Scotty, Horace, and company. As a sports fan, I've been blessed to see this movie a few times, and let me tell you, it's happening in the nation's capital right now.
Let's talk about Teddy. Was the irony in Teddy being the lovable loser what made you start the site, or would you have started it even if it was "Let Tom Win" or "Let Abe Win"?
That's an interesting question that I've never been asked. Certainly George, Tom, and Abe were among our countries greatest leaders, and if their image were being tarnished systematically by conspiracy, I would likely have been just as motivated to do something about it. That being said, Teddy is unique among presidents. He was a boxer and had a black belt in jujitsu for crying out loud.
It should be noted that George Washington was something of a badass himself, and I don't want to malign the father of our country. But is there any doubt Teddy Roosevelt would be kicking the butts of these other guys in a real race? We can't raise a generation of Washington children who think Theodore Roosevelt was a lovable loser. It's the 100th anniversary of Teddy Roosevelt's Progressive Bull Moose Party. What better time to let Teddy win?

Iron Man 3 opened bigger than even The Avengers with $195.3M from its first weekend in theaters. The Marvel/Disney actioner starring Robert Downey Jr already has surpassed the entire run of Captain America in one weekend and looks like it will knock off all the previous Marvel films in no time. The first Iron Man took in $266M internationally, the second took in $308M, and last year's Thor took in $269M.

Iron Man and Avengers were really good movies. Iron Man 2 was OK but still some parts were enjoyable.

[bold]'Iron Man 3' Takes Off with Second-Highest Opening Ever[/bold]
Kicking off the Summer movie season this weekend, Iron Man 3 lived up to sky-high expectations with an estimated $175.3 million haul. That ranks second all-time behind last year's The Avengers ($207.4 million), and is way up on the previous Iron Man outings. The movie also continues to do phenomenal business overseas, and is on its way to earning well over $1 billion worldwide.
Iron Man 3's $175.3 million debut is a huge leap over Iron Man 2's $128.1 million. That's a remarkable achievement given the dodgy history of three-quels—nearly all of them decline from their predecessor—and Iron Man 2's questionable reputation. The main reason for this is simple: audiences viewed Iron Man 3 more as follow-up to The Avengers, which is almost universally beloved, than as a sequel to Iron Man 2.
The Avengers was a cultural phenomenon, though, and it took an exceptional marketing effort from Disney to retain so much of that movie's audience. The centerpiece of the campaign was the destruction of Stark's Malibu home, which managed to up the personal stakes while also showcasing some impressive action. The marketing also emphasized Stark's conflict with the elusive Mandarin, which is typically a good strategy with superhero movies (a hero is most interesting when juxtaposed against a strong villain). Add in a marketplace devoid of competition, and this was a perfect recipe for a blockbuster opening.
It's worth noting that the other Avengers follow-ups (Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier) aren't going to earn anywhere close to this—from a box office perspective, Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man is the cornerstone of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the entries that don't feature him are going to gross noticeably less.
Compared to The Avengers, Iron Man 3's audience skewed a bit older (55 percent over 25, compared to 50 percent) but was about even gender-wise (61 percent male vs. 60 percent). 3D ticket sales accounted for 45 percent of the weekend, which is noticeably lower than The Avengers (52 percent). Thanks to an increased screen count, though, Iron Man 3's $16.5 million IMAX haul was a slight improvement on The Avengers.
While some fanboys aren't thrilled about the movie's twists, general audiences dug it, giving it an "A" CinemaScore. From here on out, if Iron Man 3 performs like Iron Man 2 it will close with $427 million; if it holds up like The Avengers, though, it could earn over $500 million. While word-of-mouth will be more Avengers and less Iron Man 2, a particularly competitive May could keep it closer to Iron Man 2.

Both Iron Man, and Iron Man 2 did about $318 Million domestically.
The first Thor did $181,030,624.
He's just not as well known or as cool a character, or as relatable.
It's likely Thor 2, if reviews are good, will do batter than Thor 1. It'll likely get a fair boost from Avengers exposure. If the reviews are average or worse, it'll be lucky to do as well.

They aimed the movie for the Asian market. Asians like action movies and that's what the movie was. Very little character, a bad constructed story and lost of action, CGI and explosions to distract from the fact that the movie was actually pretty dumb. Even IM2 was more interesting and had a better developed story than IM3.

That is Marvel's plan to pass the torch if negotiations with Robert Downey Jr falls through. He was paid $50 million for Avengers and now his contract is up and he's asking for more money. They're not willing to pay more than $50 million to him for Iron Man 4 or Avengers 2. Gwyneth, on the other hand, will work for cheap, $5 million as opposed to $50 million.

Charges that the Jews in Mexico are being made the victims of anti-Semitic propaganda spread throughout that country by Adolf Hitler's Nazi agents were made in a letter received by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency yesterday from the Jewish Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Mexico City. During the last week, the letter stated, Mexican newspapers have printed articles calling Jews "an undesirable element" and asserting that not only have they declared a boycott against Germany but also against Mexican merchants who deal with Germany.
The Israelite Chamber of Commerce denied that it declared a boycott against Mexican firms dealing with Germany, but admitted that while Jews did business with these firms they refrained from buying German articles which some of these firms sold.
"As a matter of fact," the letter stated, "Jewish merchants in Mexico do not deal with Mexican importers because the articles they (the Jewish merchants) need were always sold mostly by German firms in Mexico. The danger for us Jews is that all this propaganda, which is well paid for, can make an impression on the Mexican government and Mexican public opinion."
The letter stated that certain elements in Mexico, inspired by Nazi agents, had demanded from the authorities the closing of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce and Industry, arguing that there is no reason why the chamber should exist since, they say, it is no more than a religious sect. Nazi-paid agents, the letter declared, had also demanded that the Jewish Chamber be expelled from the Mexican Confederation of Chambers of Commerce, to which it belongs.
The Confederation of Chambers of Commerce has asked the Jewish Chamber to instruct its members to end the anti-German boycott because "it is not compatible with the hospitality Jews enjoy in Mexico." The Jewish Chamber replied to the Confederation in a letter, pointing out that it was impossible to accede to this request.
Listing all the anti-Jewish deeds perpetrated by the Nazis in Germany, the Jewish Chamber concluded that until such a time as Hitler would publicly announce a change of heart regarding Judaism the boycott in Mexico would continue. The Jewish Chamber, however, pointed out clearly that Mexican firms dealing in non-German products would in no way be affected by this decision.
The receipt of the letter from the Jewish Chamber follows a report cabled to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency yesterday that Walter Zechlin, German minister to Mexico, had formally protested to the government against the anti-German boycott. Herr Zechlin contended that the action of the Israelite Chamber violated the sovereignty of the Mexican government. The boycott is estimated to have caused a ten percent decrease in German trade throughout Mexico within the last three months.

PCS Reports Strong Quarter, Mobile Phone Stocks Rise
The mobile phone companies are moving today, boosted by a strong earnings report from one of the sector's smaller fry, MetroPCS Communications.
MetroPCS added a record number of customers in the first quarter and profits more than doubled. Its shares are up more than 7% at 17.69.
In a conference call, MetroPCS said it hoped AT&T's proposed acquisition of Deutsche Telekom's U.S. T-Mobile business would result in the combined entity divesting some badly needed spectrum to smaller players like MetroPCS. The company said it will need more spectrum to accommodate growth in the next couple of years.
The strong results could indirectly help boost AT&T's merger prospects. Rival Sprint Nextel has complained that the combination would create a mobile phone duopoly with Verizon Wireless. Backers of the proposed deal counter that consumers still have good choice, pointing to MetroPCS and Sprint Nextel. But those two, with market caps of $6 billion and $15.5 billion, are minnows next to AT&T, which has a market cap of $184.5 billion, pre-merger.
AT&T is up about 1% at 31.48, Verizon Communications, which partners with Vodafone on Verizon Wireless, is up 0.5% at 37.73. Sprint Nextel is up 0.4% at 5.22.

Hoopa Valley and Trinity Valley elementary schools recently received just over $130,000 in supplemental funding from the state for after school safety programs, which will serve about 160 students.
Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District Grants Officer Jennifer Lane said the funding comes from the After School Education and Safety grant that provides constructive, creative and fun activities for children to participate in rather than be home alone or roaming the streets.
"The program serves two meals – one is a supper that is quite substantial and one is a snack that is lighter – and both are nutritious and help after school cravings that growing children have," Lane said. "The ASES grant also provides a literacy/enrichment component as well as a homework component. This year, teachers at the school sites were contracted to work with the children one hour per day for the enrichment and homework components."
Humboldt County Office of Education After School Program Coordinator Beth Chaton said the funding comes through Proposition 49, which offers assistance for everything from tutoring to homework to hands-on experience to field trips.
"After school programs are an extension of learning, and its meant to offer a time for students to learn and try new things," Chaton said. "The programs are meant to be structured based on the students' needs and what they're interested in. The ASES funding is awarded based on free and reduced lunch rates and a need to serve students."
Lane said the district has received the regular after school funding since 2002, but this is the first year it received the supplemental funding.
"This year's ASES allocation to KT is $214,000," Lane said. "The supplemental grants will augment that figure for HES and TVES, specifically."
Chaton said that for a school to qualify for the funding, it needs to provide the free or reduced lunches to at least 50 percent or more of its students.
After school programs are essential for providing safe, caring environments, she said.
"Data shows that when kids are unsupervised, they tend to engage in high-risk activities," Chaton said. "These programs are free and no child can be turned away, and assure parents that children are in a safe environment. We've found that when students participate in these programs, they have better attendance and tend to do better academically."
With the funding, Lane said the district will be able to offer a summer program in 2015, something that is greatly needed.
"This expansion of the ASES Program has been needed for quite some time now," Lane said. "I am glad to be a part of its growth and development, as well as its oversight and compliance. I am happy that something positive is happening in our area."

Yankees GM Cashman Not Surprised By Cabrera or Colon Suspensions
It was a rocky road for former Yankees the past few weeks. First Melky Cabrera tested positive, and then pitcher Bartolo Colon. Now, Yankees GM Brian Cashman says it doesn't surprise him.
While on the Michael Kay show, Yankees GM Brian Cashman was asked about the current situation with former Yankee players, Melky Cabrera and Bartolo Colon. His answer is a bit surprising.
Unfortunately, not surprised – You see some spike in performance, you hope it's not the case, but you scratch your head and you wonder at the same time.
– Brian Cashman
The reason why he said he's not surprised by Bartolo's positive test is because he's an older player coming off of surgery. As far as Melky goes, Cashman said that when the team originally traded him in 2009 he was a fourth outfielder, and now a candidate for the National League MVP. Obviously there had to be something going on.

The Brief Operation of Tennessee's Confederate Courts
In May and June of 1861, the Tennessee state government took the legal steps (or illegal steps, depending on one's point of view), to declare Tennessee independent of the United States of America and align the state with the Southern Confederacy. The General Assembly passed measures repealing all laws requiring attorneys, members of the legislature, and other public officials to take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States. Cases involving indebtedness and other money issues were declared suspended for 12 months, and with the exception of Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland (all slave states), no suit by any citizen of the "late United States" then "adhering to the Government of which A. Lincoln claims to be President" would be entertained in Tennessee courts. Further, the section of the criminal code relating to offenses that were treasonable to the United States was repealed.
At that time, the Tennessee Supreme Court was constituted of three judges, each representing one of the three Grand Divisions. The East Tennessee justice, Robert J. McKinney, had served on the court since 1847. An emigrant from Ireland who had practiced law in Rogersville, Greeneville and Knoxville, McKinney opposed secession and was a reluctant adherent to the rebel cause. Far more loyal to the Confederacy was large-bodied Archibald Wright of Memphis, a close ally of Gov. Isham G. Harris, who had appointed Wright to his seat on the court when Harris's brother, Justice William R. Harris, had vacated the seat by his death from injuries in a steamboat explosion in 1858. The Middle Tennessee representative on the court was one of the most illustrious names in Tennessee legal history, Robert L. Caruthers. On the bench since 1852, Caruthers had been clerk of the Tennessee House of Representatives, attorney general for his circuit, served in the legislature and in Congress, and took a leading role in founding Cumberland University in Lebanon, and a few years later, the Cumberland University School of Law. Caruthers was also pro-Confederate.
Tennessee's secession almost immediately disrupted the activities of the Supreme Court. Caruthers resigned his seat to take one in the Confederate congress and was replaced first by Edwin Ewing and then, after an election in October 1861, by William F. Cooper. The December 1861 term of the court was actually the only term of court where the justices sat together as the Supreme Court of Confederate Tennessee. In February 1862, Union forces won victories at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, which in turn led to the dissolution of Confederate authority in much of Middle and West Tennessee. Judge McKinney showed for a special term in Knoxville in early March 1862 and adjourned the court after a week of his being the only justice present. None of the judges showed up for the April 1862 term in Jackson, which was by then behind federal lines. Again, none of the justices showed for the September 1862 term in Knoxville. A clerk opened court each day for a week, to no avail. There were no further efforts to conduct a Confederate Tennessee Supreme Court.
The inferior courts probably functioned on a very limited basis. In addition to the 12-month suspension in effect until May 1862 (when only a reluctant East Tennessee remained under Confederate control), in early April 1862, Confederate President Jefferson Davis suspended the writ of habeas corpus in East and Middle Tennessee, which severely curtailed civil and criminal jurisdiction in those areas. While a concerted effort was made in mid-1863 to keep the last vestiges of Confederate government intact in East and Middle Tennessee, Union military victory at Knoxville and Chattanooga later that year made all those efforts moot.
Of the three justices at secession, it appears McKinney kept a low profile until his death in Knoxville in 1875. Wright, like Gov. Harris, made his home with the Confederate army, and on at least one occasion served as a sort of unofficial attorney general. One of his sons was killed at Stones River, the other, Luke E. Wright, served in the rebel artillery and survived the war to himself become a prominent lawyer and public servant. Wright died in 1885, working to restore the fortune swept away in the war 20 years before. As for Caruthers, in 1863 a special convention was called in Winchester to elect a Confederate governor to replace Harris, who was term-limited. Caruthers was selected, but could not take office because the constitution of 1834 required that he do so in the presence of the General Assembly, which could not assemble because of the federal occupation. Caruthers focused his post-war energies on Cumberland University, which itself was left in a bad condition as a result of the war. He died in 1882, having once remarked to a friend that the "happiest moments of his life were those employed in legal practice when he had a large bundle of papers on his table, making up a chancery record to read and investigate and ascertain what were the principles that governed and controlled it."

We recently overheard an opinion that Washington D.C.'s K-12 schools have had the greatest improvement in National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores of any jurisdiction in the U.S. in recent years. We've also heard Wyoming legislators heap praises on Wyoming's school system for its improved NAEP scores. Let's compare them, shall we?
Bob Nelson talks with Glenn Woods about Wyoming school staffing.
On March 17th staff member Robert Nelson had the opportunity to sit down with KGAB host Glenn Woods. They discussed topics based on education such as Wyoming's education budget and the upcoming work of the recalibration committee. They also discussed the recent legislative session and it's most engaged legislators.
Here is a question often heard since the extent of Wyoming's K-12 funding shortfall has become widely discussed; "Is Wyoming education top-heavy with administrative staff?" The short answer would appear to be yes.
Popular Wyoming radio host Glenn Woods has recently joined KGAB radio here in Cheyenne. CEO Jonathan Downing sat down with Glenn on Friday March 3. They discussed a variety of topics including a post-session rundown. Click play now to listen to this great conversation!
The purpose of Wyoming's K-12 education system, according to the Wyoming Supreme Court, is to provide education that is "the best we can do"[1] as well as "unsurpassed" and "visionary"[2] A growing body of evidence shows that those characteristics are achieved, primarily, by having great teachers.
Ever wonder what it's like to testify in front of a committee? Watch as our very own Robert Nelson testified to the Wyoming House Education committee last January.

by Amorim Corks Out (http://www.corksout.com) has reopened with a new concept store featuring a modern wine bar with a new seating area and menu.
Struggling to make enough money at the London Road store, owner Ruth Yates decided to innovate and look for new ways to offer her customers a point of difference – rather than shut up shop.
Three years ago Ruth Yates, owner of Corks Out, installed Enomatic taste machines in store to offer customers the opportunity to come out of their comfort zone when it comes to wine. Deciding that the taste concept was not enough she brought the drink in concept alongside the machines and mixed the retail/bar experience.
Ruth has now taken this one step further and turned the concept around a little by having a wine bar, selling a large range of Champagnes by the glass including top names such as Krug and Dom Perignon, as well as some of the Corks Out Cocktails and a range of quality wines to sample through their tasting machines.
