Gov. Malloy to cut $170 million from budget
Social service agencies take big hit in governor's deficit reduction plan
HARTFORD -- As Connecticut grapples with its latest budget deficit, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Wednesday ordered $170 million in spending cuts that will affect just about everyone, especially the poor and those most in need.
The order includes a $63 million reduction in social service programs, such as mental health and addiction services, assistance to families and the Department of Children and Family Services.
None of the reductions announced involves cuts in salaries for the governor or his commissioners, said Andrew Doba, Malloy's spokesman.
Doba said the governor understands the "symbolic" message those types of cuts can represent, but pointed out that his office is already operating with far less funding than previous administrations.
Meanwhile, the University of Connecticut was told to find $10.3 million in savings and the Board of Regents for Higher Education must reduce its budget by $14.4 million. Funding for the state Department of Education, which sends most of its money to towns and cities, was cut by $8.4 million.
"There is no one reason for the projected shortfall," said Office of Policy and Management Secretary Ben Barnes, referring to a $365 million deficit in the current fiscal year.
"The sluggish national economy is part of the equation," Barnes said. "Revenue hasn't recovered, as it has in the past when Connecticut was working to climb out of a recession. The demand for services, particularly Medicaid, remains higher than expected. But we have faced larger challenges than this and done so responsibly. Nothing on that front has changed."
Closer to home, Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport lost more than $14,000 and the Discovery Museum lost over $15,000. State funding for the Stamford Center for the Arts also was reduced by $15,000, and money for firemen training schools in Stamford, Fairfield and Derby was slashed by thousands of dollars.
Republican leaders Wednesday offered some praise for Malloy's cuts while predicting that more reductions are coming as the General Assembly and the governor work to reduce an immediate $365 million deficit in the state's $20 billion budget and a projected $1.1 billion deficit for the next fiscal year, which begins in July 2013.
More InformationBudget cuts at a glance Here are some of the budget cuts ordered by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Wednesday to help fill a $365 million hole in this year's $20 billion state budget: Department of Social Services: $32.2 million Board of Regents for Higher Education: $18.3 million Department of Children and Families: $18.3 million University of Connecticut: $10.3 million Department of Education: $8.4 million Mental Health and Addiction Services: $7.7 million Temporary Assistance to Families: $5.3 million Cuts to local agencies include: Stamford Center for the Arts: $15,148 Bridgeport's Discovery Museum: $15,148 Derby's Fire Training Program: $1,856
Both Republicans and Democrats conceded the $170 million in cuts actually amount to about $123 million in savings, partly because of previous spending cutbacks and reductions in federal funding.
"But it looks like these are real reductions to spending and it's an important start -- but it's just that, a start," said Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield.
"We are still looking at $250 million in spending reductions this year," McKinney said. "It could be $2 billion for the next two years. There is a lot of work left to do."
McKinney said he is taking Malloy at his word that the governor will not seek to again raise taxes.
"Making cuts like these is never easy," said Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney. "However, given the current shortfall, they were unfortunately necessary in order to bring our budget into balance."
"Just as we did two years ago, when we worked to erase a $3.65 billion structural deficit, we are committed to working with Gov. Malloy to reduce spending and make the difficult but essential choices necessary to balance the state's budget before the New Year," Looney said.
The budget cuts for Executive Branch agencies total $161,694,693 and fall within the governor's authority to reduce spending without General Assembly approval. Legislative leaders agreed to $3 million in cuts and the Judicial Branch agreed to $5.75 million in reductions.
McKinney said Malloy's budget deal two years ago, which contained the highest tax increase in state history along with big concessions from union workers, was based on a guarantee that there would be no layoffs for four years. If payroll reductions are off the table, McKinney said cutbacks will have to come from places like social service programs because that's where there is money to cut.
"I'm hopeful the difficult decisions the governor made today is a signal that he understands the path we have taken is not working. Union concessions are a difficult discussion, but one that we have to have. We can have a balanced budget without raising taxes," McKinney said.
Asked about cuts in social service programs, Doba said all departments with a deficit were asked to reduce spending. "We don't like any of this," he said.
"Many of these cuts are very difficult to make, especially now when so many residents continue to struggle in a tough economy," Barnes said. "But as painful as they are, cuts are necessary to keep this year's budget in balance. State government needs to live within its means. And we should all remember that as difficult as some of these reductions are to make now, there are more, even tougher choices ahead."
Barnes pointed out that had the economic recovery been similar to the 2003 recovery, revenue from income and sales taxes would be $725 million higher. Several other states, including Massachusetts and New Jersey, now have similar shortfalls, he said.

Raised Doughnuts Recipe
- 3-3 1/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
- 1 envelope or 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2/3 cups whole milk, at room temp
- 2 large eggs, beaten lightly
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, softened but still cool
- 6 cups shortening or oil to fry in (I only used 3 cups in a flat bottomed skillet so that doughnuts were shallow fried, never completely covered and it worked just fine)
In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups of flour, the yeast, 5 tbsp sugar, and the salt. Set aside.
Place the milk and eggs in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed for 3 to 4 minutes, or until ball of dough forms.
Add the softened butter one piece at a time, waiting about 15 seconds after each addition. Continue mixing for about 3 minutes longer, adding the remaining flour 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary, until dough forms a soft ball.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temp until nearly double in size, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Place the dough onto a floured surface and, using a rolling pin, roll it out
Place the doughnut rings and holes onto a floured baking sheet. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temp until slightly puffy, 30 to 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, fit a candy thermomenter to the side of a large Dutch oven. Add the shortening or oil to the pot and gradually heat over medium-high heat to 375°F. Place the rings and holes carefully into the hot fat 4 or 5 at a time. Fry

When you're a working mother, there are plenty of times when you feel like you're going straight from one full-time job (at your office) to another (at home with your family). Single working mothers have to cope with the "second shift" on their own. Here are some strategies that can help.
- Consider your commute your "me" time. This is harder when you have kids in the car, of course, but at least part of your commute can be all yours. Catch up on the news, listen to books on tape, learn a new language — or just turn off the tunes and enjoy the silence.
- Carry portable stress relief with you. Dot some soothing Peace of Mind (from Origin's Sensory Therapy line) on your temples and feel the tension drain away. Stash a portable back massager in the car (or in your desk at work) to keep the stress from building up in your body; Life Fitness offers a lightweight, battery-operated one that you can strap around your back (you can find it at most CVS stores).
- Keep a snack in the car. Something healthy that can give you lasting energy — a fruit-and-nut mix, granola bars, an apple, a protein bar -- will help you get through the next several hours. Avoid energy drinks and anything high in refined sugars; you might enjoy a rush of energy for a little while, but the crash that comes afterward will just make your "second shift" more difficult.
- Change your clothes as soon as you get home. It'll help you separate work from home, and may remind you to keep your office issues from creeping into your time with the kids.
- Have dinner already ready. Cook in advance and freeze an extra meal or two, or prep everything and have it ready to assemble when you get home after work. Your stress levels will drop dramatically if you don't have to worry about what to cook for your ravenous crew the instant you get home. For some quick and easy dinner ideas, check out the Ordering Disorder blog!

Press Release: Safeway Announces Terms of Settlement
Safeway has released this statement about the settlement with College/Claremont neighbors:
We are pleased to announce that, on November 8, 2012, representatives of Safeway and a coalition of Rockridge residents representing RCPC, FANS and BPOD participated in a mediation conducted by Oakland City Councilmember Jane Brunner regarding Safeway's proposed project on College Avenue (the "Project"). At that mediation, the parties reached an agreement in principle to modify the Project. The primary changes to the project would include:
* Safeway store reduced to 45,500 square feet and placed at street level
* Sufficient parking on site for Safeway customers and patrons of new small shops.
* Parking on the roof, accessible via a ramp off College Avenue and a ramp off Claremont Blvd.
* Re-design of area near College/Claremont intersection to retail only (no sit-down restaurant). Retail shops reduced to 9,500 square feet.
The parties intend to work toward documenting the terms discussed at the mediation in a final, binding agreement. If such an agreement is reached, RCPC, BPOD and FANs would agree not to object to the revised project and project approvals. In order to allow sufficient time for the Parties to continue their efforts to structure a binding agreement to which all parties are amenable, the Parties have agreed to ask that the Oakland City Council continue to December 18, 2012 the hearing on the Project that currently is scheduled for today, Tuesday, November 13, 2012. While the Oakland City Council may still allow public comment on the project this evening even if the formal hearing is continued to December 18, we prefer that our supporters hold any comments until the hearing that we hope will be held on December 18. Thank you.

"Today, I Won"
I always caught feelings for someone, and hoped so much that one day there could a thing between the two of us. I'm usually the one that makes the effort to buy and/or make cute gifts, chats them every other day, and stays up all night with him.
When I was 16, my childhood crush suddenly came back into my life. We'd constantly send updates to each other, recommend favorite songs and talk even the most random things. He'd even text me as early as 6 to just greet me good morning almost everyday. I hoped so much that when I confessed, he suddenly stopped talking to me.
For short, he ghosted me. Those 6 months I spent talking to him, allotting my time for him, and staying up until 3 am for him - all gone in a simple confession. Although I had a few crushes before him, he's the only one that got me in real pain. It was the kind of pain that I never thought I'd experience. It was the kind of pain that I couldn't believe.
After 7 years (it happened back in 2017), I thought he came back into my life to stay, but I guess he's just one of the guys who distanced. I felt a complete loser that time. But during this quarantine, everything was different. I caught feelings for someone else, but he treated me with the best kindness yet.
It happened at 2 am, May 30, 2020, when I impulsively confessed my feelings through messaging him. After saying my feelings, he responded with genuine and kind words. We both even complimented each other. Although the feelings didn't reciprocate, I still found a connection that can't be replaced with any guy.
To my 16 year old self, here I am, 18 and happy. You may have felt that time was the biggest regret and loss, but I'm here to tell you, we won. Today, I won.
Why our high school barkada is the best?
Remembering our high school years entails quite a lot reminiscing of the things we all been through when we were younger. You've experience a lot of new things during those 4 wonderful years and did most of them with the few people you consider your barkada. And through a series of all the lunch breaks you had together, the walks you took on the way home, and taking the same classes, you never thought you'd survive, you have made your life's greatest friends.
Here are some of the reasons why your high school barkada is the best:
1. You figured out early teenage life together. The transition one have undergone from being a kid to a teenager wasn't easy. For a moment you are not sure whether you should have played with your friends during recess or you should have just sat down and ate your food because you were too old for games. But whatever it is you chose to do, having friends who were as clueless as you make everything feel easier because you know, deep down, you'd figure things out eventually. You just need good company.
2. They were with you during your "jeje" days. I bet you have pictures taken with Camera360 and Retrica. You also have pictures edited using Pizap with embarrassing captions and you somehow kept some of them so you could have something to post online during their birthdays.
3. They know all your exes. They will never EVER forget the name of an ex-boyfriend, an ex-fling, an ex-crush, and an almost you had. They will remind you of your every questionable love decision but you'll just laugh anyway while saying "Past is past".
4. They never judge you. They have welcomed you to their lives when you thought jelly shoes and checkered polos were the bomb! They were quick to have told your teachers that you were not feeling well so you could go home when you really just needed to poop. You tell them every embarrassing story you have and were fine with it.
5. You can always count on them. From the moment you first fell in love and the moment you first had your heart broken, they were with you. They were with you the moment you lost a parent and at moments when you thought you had nothing. Through every break-up and breakthrough, they were there to be your support system.
6. They are your family. Your high school friend's family is your own family's extension. Their parents are like your own. Don't you feel a little kilig whenever your friend's parents call you "anak"? And then eventually calling them mama and papa became so natural? I felt that, all the time.
7. They will always be your home. They are your place of refuge and security, the place who offers you their hands when you feel lost and the place you run to when you need saving. No matter how much time and distance separate you, they will be the one's that you always long for and they are the one's that you will always return to.
You're gonna bend and break and then at some point in your life, you feel like you don't want to fall in love again.
Not because you're no longer capable of loving but because you're so afraid to get hurt again that you don't want to take a risk anymore. And you're gonna wake up one day and realize that you're not the same person as you were yesterday. The heart aches, heartbreaks, frustration, you'll see, those will transform your whole being into something better.
Honey, move forward. Let go off all the things that are not meant for you. Let go of all the people who hurt you and take you for granted. Don't be stuck feeling miserable.
And don't turn that love into hate when you resent someone for hurting you or for breaking your heart. Just wish them well and let them go. Welcome the possibility of a beautiful love that will come your way. You're worthy of love that you keep on giving to other people. Keep that in mind.
I wish you well and all the happiness. You deserve it.
Here we are — with rough hands entwined, damned hearts at peace, broken souls resting with ease —savoring each passing moment before we part ways...hoping things will turn out to be okay. Here we are — standing still, keeping our earnest desire and ardent passion for each other at bay — hoping the Universe will finally grant us of the day that we no longer have to pretend... that things will no longer have to end.
Here we are — with crooked smiles, lingering touch that will last for a while -- gathering all the remaining courage to set each other free. Wishing for the day that our hearts will no longer have to worry. Here we are letting each other go. Even though we both know that the future is uncertain. Even though we're unsure if our paths will cross once again.

Via Scoop.it – Monetizing The TV Everywhere (TVe) Experience
Demystifying Agency Trading Desks: Power's In Analytics & Integration, Not Pork Bellies – 04/05/2012…
Last week at the 4A's "Transformation LA 2012" conference, I moderated a panel on "Agency Trading Desks and Demand-Side Platforms." To me, the online ad trading desk world is a confusing, algorithm-chocked sector where math geeks buy and sell digital display ads in computer-automated virtual "trading pits" not unlike the trading of pork bellies — so I was a bit apprehensive going into the session. I didn't come out of Wall Street, and never really worked around automated ad trading systems much.
The panel was a who's who of the space, with the four largest holding companies each well represented — by Quentin George, the Chief Digital Officer of Mediabrands; Josh Jacobs, president of Accuen; Brian Lesser, the CEO of Xaxis; and Kurt Unkel, EVP/GM-Audience On Demand, VivaKi Nerve Center. The sell-side ad network world was represented by Joe Apprendi, CEO of Collective, while JT Batson, president of Mediaocean, represented stewardship and billing systems. Once I started talking to the panelists to prepare for the session, I realized that many of my assumptions about agency trading desks were wrong. Here were my four big takeaways:

We did it. On Friday morning, I awoke to the emails that told me that our Fall Funding Drive had raised its goal, and even surpassed it a little bit. That means this site is funded for another year, and we can pay our columnists and contributors in the process. It's a principle that I think is very important in our community, one that I feel is necessary if we're going to build professional-level media organizations within our diverse and broad-based movement. My ultimate hope is that our success here points towards others replicating it. Though it may seem counter-intuitive, I crave the emergence of a real Pagan news ecosystem, because it is only within such an ecosystem that a larger ethos of journalism and commentary can emerge.
Sites like Pam Grossman's Phantasmaphile, Sarah Veale's Invocatio, Carl Neal's Pent O'clock News, and the eponymous A Bad Witch's Blog in the UK, along with seasoned journalistic campaigners like PNC-Minnesota, show that there are many topics and areas of focus that need coverage, that explore areas I can only skim the surface of. Commentary and debate, especially within a religious movement, is easy to come by, but for those conversations to progress, for us to move ourselves forward on any number of important (and contentious) issues requires basic informational reporting. Journalism is the launchpad of discourse, bother internally, and externally. Which is why other religions have devoted a lot of time and resources to journalistic vehicles that serve their own communities. To put it simply, journalism shapes how we interact with the world, and ultimately, how the world interacts with us.
So again, my deepest thanks to the individuals and groups who donated to make this happen. Not knowing how long it would take us to raise the needed money, I gave our site the full allotted amount of time, 45 days, which means the campaign will remain open for nearly a month to come. I'll won't plug the campaign any longer, but I will leave the links and side-banner up so that folks who haven't had a chance to donate can still participate if they wish. Once the campaign officially ends I will enact all the "perks," including the links. I will also remove all the links and underwriters who didn't renew (once their year is up). So again, if you want to be a part of this campaign, please do so during this window so we can work on an orderly schedule. We will, of course, be open to organizational ads and underwriters throughout the year, and we thank the amazing groups and companies who have pledged their support in previous months.
Before I close out this post, I want to touch quickly on raising money within the Pagan community. Over the past few years, as the rise of crowdfunding sites made the process of raising money easier, many Pagan individuals and organizations have tried their hand at raising funds. Everything from libraries, to plays, to albums, to tarot decks. Some have been wildly successful, and others not so much so. Under the aegis of The Wild Hunt, I have run several funding campaigns now, and I'd like to share some brief "tips" that perhaps go outside the general advice given to those embarking on a crowdfunding campaign.
- Expect a very small percentage of your followers/readers/members to donate. The Wild Hunt has a lot of readers, and a lot of traffic. Since leaving Patheos, my traffic has grown to a point where I've had to upgrade our hosting package, or else risk overage fees. On Facebook, we have over 16,000 "likes." You would think, with a huge profile like that, raising $10,000 dollars would be a day's work. A small amount from a tiny fraction of my readers. However, our campaign was successful because fewer than 300 groups and individuals decided to donate. Many of those donors gave above lower perk levels, and the last 10-15% came predominately from bigger donors. This is not to say that the $5 donations weren't appreciated, they were, but they weren't coming in large enough numbers to ensure a successful campaign. So when you plan a campaign, ask yourself, would it succeed if less than 10% of your readership/membership donated? If you are going to rely on small-dollar donations, will you have the stamina, donor perks, and engagement to reach them?
- Utilize social media. Practically everyone is using social media these days, and you need to have an active social footprint if you're going to engage with your broader readership. If you haven't already, start building a Facebook page, and an official Twitter account. Use them, grow them, and once you do, stay engaged with them. You may not like Facebook, but ignoring it severely limits your ability to do outreach with millions of people. Also, plan to spend money to make money. Social media these days is tweaked to make you pay to reach your full potential audience. Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and more, all have pay options that will bring you more "eyeballs" to your campaign pitch. If you're looking to raise a lot of money, you need to reach past your core engaged readership, and to the folks who maybe only check in with you on a weekly or monthly basis.
- Stay positive, always. I know that other campaign advice sites will tell you this, but I need to reiterate. Never, ever, ever, go negative on your readers. Don't guilt them, don't make them feel bad, don't get snarky, or start to make asides about how folks are enjoying your product/content but aren't supporting you. Don't decide to publish your rant about Pagans who buy expensive wands but won't support infrastructure/teachers/charity projects during your campaign. Take an attitude of gratitude. People are giving you money, their money, that they earned. Even if you only raise ten bucks, you thank whoever it was who gave it to you, stay positive, and redouble your efforts. Focus on what you do, focus on the positive impact that their money will bring. Again, don't guilt people, because it doesn't work. Running a campaign can be very stressful, and very tiring, you're going to be tempted to complain. Don't. Not ever.
- Consistently announce your campaign, don't feel guilty to ask for money. Many subcultural groups, and many religious communities, have some complex attitudes towards asking for money. As a consequence, many Pagans get bashful, they undersell their campaign, they feel weird about asking for money. Don't. If you are providing a resource, or a service, there is no shame in asking for people to support it. You aren't forcing them to donate, and if they support your project, they won't mind if you ask. In fact, many of my donors thanked me for reminding them, as they hadn't seen the previous announcements. People have stuff going on their lives, and sometimes it doesn't revolve around what you're doing. So don't be afraid to be consistent. Mention it every day, pitch it on your social networks. Do you think people stop listening to NPR because they have pledge drives? Most individuals understand that this is part and parcel of "free' resources. The money has to come from somewhere.
- Respect the power of your supporters, and ask them for their help. Fundraising is the art of causing change in conformity with your Will, or is that magick? Fundraising is a spell. One that you don't cast alone. You mobilize the spell of fundraising by making it a group effort. By asking people you know to be your supporters to help you. Asking for help is powerful magic, and you can never tell what it will bring you. I have been blessed in the people and groups who have chosen to help me, and I try to pay that back by sharing and supporting other fundraising drives. In fact, while this fundraising drive was going on, I donated to two others. That reciprocity is important, because it builds community, and it is through community that you will find enough people to help you in your goal.
- Finally, be reasonable in your expectations and your ask. The Wild Hunt asked for $10,000 dollars because that's how much we really needed. I broke that number down, and told people directly what I was going to spend it on. When people give, they know they are paying our columnists, our hosting bill, and yes, they are putting a little bit of that into my pocket. I would not ask for $50,000 at this point, as I know the Internet is not a magic wishing machine, and the magic of fundraising only works if you've built the network to sustain that kind of ask. Conversely, don't ask for too little, or else people won't think it's a big deal. There won't be a sense of urgency in what you're doing. Ask for enough, and think hard about what that means.
That's it, and I hope that advice helps some folks considering a fundraiser in our community out. My deepest thanks to everyone who has donated, and to everyone who might still donate. I truly appreciate it, and I hope that this success will continue my goal to build The Wild Hunt into a media entity that perseveres, even beyond my own participation.

It was supposed be a weekend getaway to Florida for President Barack Obama and his wife and daughters, an escape from the frigid weather and lingering piles of snow around Washington. But Russia's intervention in Ukraine has put Obama's plans in doubt, making it possible the family could end up at the White House.
The White House said late Thursday that Obama would spend the weekend in Key Largo, although that still could change.
"It is possible the president may return to the White House on Friday as events unfold in Ukraine," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said earlier in the day.
The weekend stay was tacked onto a visit Friday afternoon by Obama and his wife, Michelle, to Coral Reef High School in southwest Miami-Dade, where they are to address students on the importance of education.
This vacation would come on the heels of the holiday Obama spent at the Sunnylands estate in Southern California during Presidents' Day weekend last month, where he teed off on the desert property's 9-hole golf course as well as on a private, 19-hole course owned by supporter Larry Ellison, co-founder of the Oracle software company and one of the richest men in America.
Obama had gone to Sunnylands for meetings with King Abdullah II of Jordan.
The White House has not said where Obama will stay, but local media reports said it was the Ocean Reef Club, a private property set on 2,500 tropical acres in the Florida Keys. Obama is an avid golfer and the property boasts two 18-hole golf courses. There's also a swimming lagoon, tennis courts, a spa and fitness center, a private airport and more than a dozen restaurants among the club's varied offerings.
Every president gets criticized for the amount of time spent away from the White House, and Obama is no different. The Florida vacation, if it happens, would be his third for the year.
Besides Sunnylands, Obama and his family continued their tradition of spending Christmas and New Year's in his birthplace of Hawaii. The president and his daughters returned to the White House on Jan. 5, but Mrs. Obama stayed behind for another week to begin celebrating her 50th birthday later that month.

It's well known that Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan doesn't want to be in an actual leadership position; and it's also well known -enhanced by the campaign, and victory, of Donald Trump- that Republicans did not want to win the majority position and face having to reveal their true UniParty agenda.
The evidence of this UniParty positioning has been staring the electorate in the face, repeatedly and brutally, since candidate Donald Trump actually campaigned on key tenets of the Republican party and found himself being openly opposed by GOP leadership.
Now, a stunning discovery surfaces of Paul Ryan's Congressional Leadership SuperPAC, congressionalleadershipfund.org, actually campaigning for the Democrat, Conor Lamb, in the recent PA18 congressional race.
As evidenced by Big League Politics the Paul Ryan SuperPAC sent a mailer to Pennsylvania CD-18 voters touting Lamb's favorable position on gun ownership rights:
Now, there will be some who think this is just a bone-headed move by Paul Ryan because the Democrats already held a +50,000 registration advantage in the district and the SuperPAC didn't know this mailer would actually end up supporting Lamb. However, as mentioned, there's a history here that tells us "a mistake" is likely not the case.
The real motive, based on an honest review of history, is the professional UniParty apparatus knew that Democrat Conor Lamb needed a lift to offset the cross party voting that was reflected in the district voting (by over 20 points) for Donald Trump in 2016.
The DC Republican apparatus is quite comfortable losing their majority position so long as they are not forced to support Trump policies which are entirely against their financial interests. [How Mitch McConnell Crushed The Tea-Party]
Even before candidate Trump entered the 2016 presidential race, the agenda was visible for anyone who was willing to admit it. In 2014 the same Republican leadership paid Democrats to vote against the Republican primary winner of the Mississippi Senate race (Cochran -vs- McDaniel) simply because Mitch McConnell didn't like the idea of having an actual Republican in the seat.
Remember, this is the GOP wing of the UniParty who operate on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce {DEEP DIVE} and support: comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty; lax border security to allow cheap labor; Omnibus spending as reflected in their Obama budget-fulfillment votes; the retention of ObamaCare as mandated by the U.S. CoC; the expansion of federal common core education standards; the Wall Street trade agenda to include TPP. All of these "DC-Republican" positions are opposed by the current Republican President and the majority of Republican voters.
Enhancing and emphasizing my argument that this mailer as a deliberate effort to elect a Democrat, I would remind everyone of a few brutally obvious points: ♦the Republican controlled senate voted unanimously to block any Trump recess appointments (summer 2017); ♦and also the reality that both the House and Senate had no legislative constructs prepared for a Trump victory in January/February 2017; ♦and top off the cake of duplicity with the fact it was Republican controlled House and Senate committees who willingly opened ridiculous investigations against their own elected president claiming a 'Vast Planetary Russian Collusion Conspiracy'.
In short, both Republicans and Democrats want the threat of Donald Trump removed.
There is no desire on the part of Paul Ryan/Kevin McCarthy or Mitch McConnell/John Cornyn to actually win seats in 2018. These GOP "leaders" would just as soon lose their majority position so they can go back to the comfortable indulgences of remaining in leadership in the minority status.
In the minority the leadership of the GOP are no longer threatened by President Trump and can hide behind the smokescreen of loyal opposition.
Substantively nothing changes, and the GOP leaders are just as well compensated in the minority by the lobbyist industry within DC.
The only threat to the financial interests of the GOP is President Donald Trump remaining in office and having to actually face carrying out a conservative Trump agenda in 2019 and 2020. That Trump agenda is entirely against their "establishment republican" interests.
The Paul Ryan mailer to elect a Democrat is just another example of how corrupt the entire UniParty political apparatus is within Washington DC.
That truism is entirely why this MAGA graphic, from 2015, remains accurate:
Koch, Ryan, Koch, McConnell, Murdoch

Rear Admiral Francis J. Higginson (1843-1931) enjoyed a naval career that spanned the Civil War and a new century. He took part in the blockade of Charleston and the bombardment of Fort Sumter in the Civil War (1861-1865). One of the high points of his career was his commission as Captain of the USS Massachusetts in 1908. The Massachusetts was the first true battleship in the United States Navy. The Naval Department ordered Higginson to sail the coal-powered ship to Cuba during the Spanish-American War (1898). His actions in the war helped to earn Higginson the rank of Rear Admiral in 1899.

|Black squirrel in Santa Clara, CA.
Source: Wikimedia Commons.
I was purposely sarcastic about the squirrels in the beginning of this post to make a point. I feel like a lot of people look at science research being done, and are unimpressed with their return on investment. Granted, the squirrel research is in the UK, and I'm coming at this from a US perspective, but I can see a lot of people that I know reacting with the same level of sarcasm and disdain that I opened with in this post. Why squirrels? What is so interesting or important about squirrels? Do we really need to know if there are other differences between them besides color? Couldn't the resources and intellect of the researchers be better used elsewhere? Maybe. But, understanding the creatures that share this world with us, even the squirrels, IS important.
The squirrel research that caught my attention, according to the BBC, is an effort by researchers from Angila Ruskin University in the UK to try to figure out the rate of spread through the UK for black squirrels compared to grey squirrels, if the black squirrels also carry the "grey squirrel pox" disease, and also to build genetic profiles of the two mammals which though different in coloration due to a genetic mutation, are the same species and do interbreed. The project is being crowd sourced to the public (which I guess is the reason this was coverage worthy?) to help report sightings of the black squirrels to help track their locations. The public is also being called on to provide access to any black squirrel remains for genetic testing. That is the polite way of saying reporting roadkill so the researchers can take samples.
I'm not trying to say that this is groundbreaking, shocking, or even all that note worthy. I'm not sure why the BBC ran the story, aside from the public interaction angle. It isn't exactly flashy or eye catching. I'm still glad it is happening though. Questions matter. To me, it isn't even about the squirrels, really. If someone honestly wants an answer to a question about squirrels, why not inquire about them? Especially in this way, where public interaction will keep costs down? I support chasing the answer to a question, even if it isn't going to be Earth shattering. Curiosity is the basis of all the important breakthroughs, and who is to say what will be important in the future? We should be attacking all the questions. Ask, why? It can make all the difference. Even if you are just talking about squirrels.

Adrian Peterson's Toddler Dies After Alleged Beating by Another Man
The boyfriend of the child's mother faces charges in the beating
The 2-year-old son of football star Adrian Peterson died Friday after another man allegedly beat the child, authorities say.
Joseph Robert Patterson, 27, of Sioux Falls, S.D., who has dated the child's mother, remained jailed after his arrest Thursday on $750,000 bail on charges of aggravated assault and aggravated battery on an infant.
Police spokesman Sam Clemens says Patterson called 911 about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday to report that a 2-year-old was choking in Patterson's apartment, according to CNN.
Found unresponsive, the child was rushed to the hospital and treated for head injuries consistent with abuse, says Clemens.
Lincoln County State's Attorney Tom Wollman confirmed the death of the child, who had been in critical condition since Wednesday. The boy died at 11:43 a.m. at Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls after being removed from life support, Wollman said.
Wollman said he'll review police and medical reports before making further decisions about criminal charges for Patterson, possibly by early next week. A year ago, Patterson was given suspended sentences for simple domestic assault and violation of a domestic abuse bond, both misdemeanors, says Wollman.
Patterson was the only person in the apartment at the time, and the child's mother is not under investigation, police say.
Peterson, the running back for the Minnesota Vikings, missed practice Thursday to travel to Sioux Falls for what was called a personal emergency. He returned on Friday and in comments before the child's death was announced said he would play this weekend.
"I really appreciate all the support from fans and the Vikings," Peterson said, according to Sports Illustrated. "I ask y'all to please respect my privacy, and not ask at all about the situation."
Peterson also left a message on Twitter, writing, "God Bless everyone and thank u so much."
Kind words from fans followed. "I really wish I could give @AdrianPeterson a hug no one deserves to go through somthing [sic] like this," one person wrote. Others echoed his own words, adding, "Prayers are with you."

Women from Guilford, Essex charged in gifting table scheme (read the indictment)
HARTFORD -- A few years ago, Donna Bello, Bettejane "BJ" Hopkins and Jill Platt were allegedly raking in the dough through the Women's Gifting Table.
On Wednesday, the Shoreline trio stood before a federal court judge and pleaded not guilty to fraud charges as a prosecutor charged that the gifting table was an illegal pyramid scheme and that others who participated lost a total of $1 million.
Attorneys accompanying the women to the Hartford courtroom offered various defenses for the women, including ignorance of the table's illegality and participation for philanthropic purposes.
Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations agents arrested Bello and Platt at their Guilford homes and Hopkins at her Essex residence Wednesday between 7:45 and 8:45 a.m. A New Haven grand jury had returned indictments against the three Tuesday, charging each with conspiracy to defraud the IRS, four counts of filing a false tax return, 12 counts of wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
"The indictment alleges that the three defendants ran a pyramid scheme designed to enrich themselves at the expense of other participants," David B. Fein, U.S. attorney for Connecticut, said in a prepared statement. "In addition, the indictment alleges that the defendants tried to use the pretext of 'Gifting Tables' as a way to avoid paying taxes on the substantial illegal proceeds of their scheme."
The indictment also details the secretive nature of the tables, including how one woman referred to her earned money as "green beans" in an email to another member and how members needed to "keep silent and under the radar."
The investigation is ongoing and could result in more arrests.
State Attorney General George Jepsen's office also said its own separate investigation, which began under now-U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, is also continuing.
The indictment says that from 2008 to 2011, Bello, Hopkins and Platt were "leaders" in gifting tables. Bello was identified by Doug Morabito, assistant U.S. attorney, as the "ringleader" and had been previously labeled as such by women involved in Shoreline tables.
The scheme has run rampant on the Shoreline and even spread to other areas; tables with their own hierarchies and members have been operating around the state simultaneously. Participation is by invitation only, and women have often been invited by trusted friends and told they would be entering a "sisterhood."
New participants entered on the bottom leg of the table, called the "appetizer" level, while those on the second peg were the "soup and salad level," and those higher were "entrees." The woman at the pyramid's top was the "dessert" level.
To join, members each contributed a $5,000 cash "gift" to the woman at the top. Once that woman received money from eight members -- giving her $40,000 total or a profit of $35,000 -- lower members would move up and eventually reach the profitable dessert level. But eventually as there are fewer recruits and therefore less money coming in, members can't move up levels and lose their initial investment.
According to the indictment, Bello, Hopkins and Platt hosted parties, meetings and conference calls for new recruits and existing members, misrepresented the gifting tables and omitted facts. It goes on to say they told recruits the $5,000 gifts were legally considered "tax-free" and not to report the money on their tax returns. The document adds that they recommended women not deposit the money into bank accounts unless it was less than an amount banks report to the government.
The indictment includes excerpts of emails the women sent to others. In one, Bello allegedly told a participant she "believe[d]" the woman would make $80,000 within a year, and in another Bello allegedly wrote, "My goal was to come up with 80k GREEN BEANS this year. It is going to happen, it could also be 120k, who knows. This is awesome!" She also allegedly typed in an email to Hopkins, "keep bringing in new blood."
Platt allegedly wrote in an email, "It's sort of a joke that I refer to our freezer as the ATM." Hopkins also allegedly emailed Platt and Bello, saying, "We need to keep silent and under the radar."
The indictment mentions that after a New Haven Register article ran in March 2010 exposing the tables, Bello held a meeting and sent an email to participants stating the tables were legal. In May 2010, Bello, Platt and Hopkins allegedly attempted to intimidate a participant questioning if the tables were legal.
For their involvement, Bello, Hopkins and Platt face charges that each bring from three to 20 years in prison, fines of up to $250,000, years of supervisory release and assessments of $100. Each of the women was released after U.S. Magistrate Donna F. Martinez required their husbands to be their custodians.
But Morabito said the government was "concerned" about releasing Bello, 55, as she has a pending criminal case for allegedly assaulting a Branford police officer Jan. 1, 2011. Richard Marquette, who represented Bello Wednesday, said he agreed with releasing Bello to her husband, prominent New Haven businessman Joel Schiavone, but said Bello's version of her arrest is "very different" from the government's.
Bello was released on a $1 million secured bond with her 439 North River St. home, estimated at around $550,000, and another property at 71 Hidden Lane, worth around $300,000, as collateral.
Morabito said in court that Bello allegedly made around $400,000 from the gifting tables after cycling through 10 times, but Marquette disagreed with the prosecutor's portrayal.
"The government makes her out to be a profiteer, but she didn't profit whatsoever. She did it for philanthropic reasons and gave money to others," Marquette told court officials. Marquette declined to comment after court, while Bello told media she was "sorry" she could not comment.
Morabito called Platt a "principal overseer" of the tables. Martinez released Platt, 63, on a $500,000 secured bond that uses her 173 Whitfield home as collateral. It was estimated to be worth a minimum of $300,000 to $400,000, according to Jonathan Einhorn, who represented Platt.
"Anything Ms. Platt did, she did on advice of counsel," Einhorn said after the court appearance, explaining that Platt previously talked with attorneys who were both involved with and outside of the gifting tables. "That's her defense. We believe after a trial and jury hears that all that she did she believed was justified and legal, there'd be no criminal intent."
He added Platt retained him as counsel last year when she learned she was a target of the investigation and that she's "upset. She was tending to her mother, who is dying of cancer, when they came to her house this morning."
Martinez also released Hopkins, 66, on a $500,000 secured bond using Hopkins' 80 Walnut St. property in the Ivoryton section of Essex as collateral. Hope Seeley, who represented Hopkins, said the house has a value of about $400,000.
Hopkins volunteers at a hospital by offering hands-on healing before and after surgeries and at her church, Seeley said. Based on her ties to the community, Seeley asked that she be released to her husband, and declined to comment after court.
An alleged victim of the tables who says she was interviewed by the grand jury last year said she was "glad" to learn of Wednesday's arrests, but is still upset about her experience and loss of $5,000.
Blumenthal, reached by phone Wednesday evening, said he is "very pleased" the scheme has been exposed by federal authorities and cooperated with them when he was attorney general.
"This federal action sends a powerful message that pyramid schemes and scams are not victimless crimes and will not be tolerated," he said.

Union and supporters march in Rome to press for job creation in recession-plagued Italy
ROME – A union of Italian metal workers has led thousands of people in a march through the heart of Rome to press the new government for measures to spur job creation.
FIOM union leader Maurizio Landini said Saturday's protest was held because Italy is "going nowhere" in terms of signs of economic growth amid a stubborn recession. The union is aligned with a left-wing labor confederation.
After weeks of political paralysis following inconclusive elections in February, Italy now has a "grand coalition" government, including bitter rivals from the center-left and center-right blocs in Parliament.
Unemployment for young people is at about 39 percent, while the overall jobless rate is 11.5 percent.
The previous government used spending cuts and higher taxes to battle Italy's debt. Italians are demanding job creation measures soon.

The remarkable conservation of molecular and intra-/inter-cellular pathways underpinning the fundamental aspects of sugar partitioning in two evolutionarily divergent organisms – a non-vascular moss Physcomitrella patens and a vascular cereal crop Oryza sativa (rice) – forms the basis of this manuscript. Much of our current knowledge pertaining to sugar partitioning in plants mainly comes from studies in thale cress, Arabidopsis thaliana, but how photosynthetic sugar is loaded into the phloem in a crop as important as rice is still debated. Even less is known about the mechanistic aspects of sugar movement in mosses. In plants, sugar either moves passively via …

Game 1: Farmingdale State - 5, NYU-Poly - 2
Game 2: NYU-Poly - 8, Farmingdale State - 3
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State softball team split a conference double-header with NYU-Poly on Sunday afternoon to improve to 14-6, 5-1 in Skyline play. Rams freshman pitcher Taylor Tedeschi (Levittown, N.Y.) allowed just six hits in the 5-2 victory in game one.
In game one, NYU-Poly went up 2-0 in the fourth on junior first baseman Corine Fitzgibbon's (Brooklyn, N.Y.) RBI triple to right field, and a sacrifice fly from sophomore catcher Christi Bruin (Auburn, Wa.) scored the second run of the inning.
Farmingdale State jumped ahead in the bottom of the fifth with four runs. Junior second baseman Jennifer Jarczynski (West Babylon, N.Y.) led off with a single up the middle and freshman designated hitter Michelle Mongiello (Elmont, N.Y.) followed with a double to left. Junior catcher Lauren Nelson (Levittown, N.Y.) laid down a great butn and reached on an error, while Farmingdale's two runners scored to tie the game at 2-2.
Freshman right fielder Sam Johrden (Deer Park, N.Y.) bunted for a single and freshman centerfielder Patricia Johnson (Patchogue, N.Y.) sac bunted the runners over to second and third. Sophomore shortstop Hillary Genova (Brentwood, N.Y.) would knock in the go-ahead runs with a single to left and the Rams took the 4-2 lead.
In the bottom of the sixth, senior first baseman Aubrey Walker (West Babylon, N.Y.) doubled to left, before moving to third on a sacrifice bunt by senior left fielder Rebecca Richman (West Islip, N.Y.). Walker would score the final run of the game on a groundout by Jarczynski for the 5-2 score.
Tedeschi improved to 5-1 with the win, allowing just six hits with one walk and one strikeout. Genova finished 1-for-2 with 2 RBI's, Walker went 1-for-3 with one run scored and Jarczynski was 1-for-3 with an RBI and one run scored.
NYU-Poly took game two 8-3, behind 14 hits and a five-inning outing for sophomore pitcher Briana Feist (San Diego, Calif.), allowing just four hits and two earned runs with five walks and three strikeouts.
The Rams fell behind 1-0 and was able to tie it in the bottom of the second, but Poly scored seven runs over the next three innings to run away with the second game victory.
For Farmingdale State, Genova was 2-for-3 with a walk and one run scored. Walker, Jarczynski and Nelso each recorded one hit and one RBI in the loss.
The Rams will host Baruch College on Tuesday, April 3 in a non-conference doubleheader starting at 3:00 p.m.

Today is the start of RootsTech 2013. So in honor of the conference I will blog today about Genealogy, and Technology.
Last year Google announced it was getting rid of iGoogle and now this week it said it was getting rid of its RSS Reader (hence probably why they announced iGoogle was going away). So I have decided how I will replace these two tools in my portable genealogy toolbox. My Solution … the FlipBoard app.
The screenshot above (at the top) shows a portion of my iGoogle (still available until July). As you can surmise, I used it as a newspaper dashboard for keeping me abreast of the genealogy news in my focus areas. You may have noticed it is quite TEXTUAL. As such, it lacks appeal and ease of scanability. This is where Flipboard app comes in. Now Stanczyk was not using Google's Reader … that is directly. I think iGoogle probably was a tool that used its own Reader (RSS feeds). It gave me the ability to have a genealogy dashboard (or portal as we used to say). Flipboard will however import your Google Reader. There are other alternatives like Pulse or even WordPress that can import your RSS subscriptions for you. But this jester likes FlipBoard.
As you see, Flipboard is visually appealing and easily, quickly scanable. What you may not realize that these Flipboard "blocks" are the same feeds I had in the iGoogle tool. However, now my Eastman Online Genealogy and my GenealogyBlog are visual. Notice I was able to also get my Ancestry Member Connect Activity feed too! So I have everything I had before in a kind of retro "Life Magazine" visually appealing way updated for the Internet age ! I actually think of Flipboard as my Internet Magazine that is finely attuned to MY interests. But as you see, you can use it as your genealogy dashboard of what is going on currently in genealogy (or any topic you are interested in).
You may not have noticed in the Flipboard image, I have my own blog in the lower left corner. When you click on that "block" it takes to my "section". Where my own blog posts are very attractively displayed in the Flipboard magazine style. Very nice!
Flipboard runs on your smartphone or your tablet. I really like how it looks on the tablet (iPad in my case). Seeing my blog in Flipboard changed my style of writing a blog. I wanted my blog posts to look good and be visually appealing in Flipboard. So now I take some extra measures to make sure it will look good, but I have to admit that Flipboard does most of the work and it does make your blog look good.
Flipboard can take your Twitter feed, or Facebook or Blog or even a custom RSS Feed like my Ancestry Member Connect Activity. It even takes Flickr or LinkedIn or just about anything you may use in your social networking / media creation world.
So I am no longer sad that iGoogle or the underlying Google Reader are going away. I have evolved and I am using Flipboard and I am much happier. I can keep tabs and I can keep informed and I am frequently entertained too. What a great app!
Hey add "Stanczyk Internet Muse" to your Flipboard. Enjoy RootsTech 2013 too!

Regardless of what side of the global warming issue you take, the push for clean, renewable energy is gaining momentum in the auto industry. Turns out Southern California is at the tip of the spear.
But as we sit here today would you really want to trade your gas burning car or truck in for one that runs on electricity?
Horsepower and torque in our cars are of subjective importance. While one motorist might prefer the extra power they get in traffic from their traditional vehicles, another might be ready to sacrifice power for a more environmentally friendly rig. For those who would go the electric route the benefits don't end there.
Prices at the pump are well over $3 a gallon and the The U.S. government is offering incentives in the form of tax credits of anywhere from $2,500 to $7,500 on the purchase of a new electrical vehicle. Seems like a good way to tell the big oil companies just what they can do with their big oil.
With two new electric vehicles set to hit the market at the end of the year, San Diego county is taking the lead by putting an infrastructure in place to support their safe, efficient operation. On Tuesday the county announced the planned installation of more than 1,500 public charging stations. Backed by a grant of more than $98 million from the U.S. Department of Energy, San Francisco based ECOtality is taking the lead on what's known as the EV project.
Electric batteries, like gas tanks, have finite capacities and need to be replenished on a regular basis. Gas stations are everywhere, but when was the last time you saw an electric car charging station?
The new Nissan Leaf is fully electric and has a range of only about 100 miles. It's competitor, the Chevrolet Volt can go 40 miles on the battery before a gas motor kicks in to give it up to 300 more. The range issue is a problem and it's one of the lead topics of the EV project.
Believe it or not, a medical term has already been coined to describe the fear of your electric car running out of juice and leaving you stranded. It's called "range anxiety."
James Boyd, vice chair of the California Energy Commission predicts 1 million electric cars on the state's highways within the next 10 years. Numbers like that won't be reached without a large number of public charging stations made readily available to the public. The EV project will collect data on how the vehicles, batteries and chargers perform in various climates and geographies. That information should translate to more efficient ways to keep electric vehicles charged in efficient, convenient ways.
The electric cars are coming and so are the charging stations that will power them. Automakers will have to be patient as the public gradually embraces the new means and methods they'll have to adapt to.
In San Diego marketing for the new Nissan product might be a challenge. Since the late 90's San Diegans don't typically react well to things named "Leaf."

This is a book from the founders of 37signals. The book is full of simple commonsense advice for business and work. Yet these advice are also very fresh. How come?? Since we have been trying/inventing/pushing complex complicated rules & approaches for business and work in lieu of simple straightforward approaches, the simple commonsense advice in the book do come across as surprisingly fresh.
Just to give one example, for culture, the book says: "You can't build it, it occurs. Whatever you value and do (actions speak louder than words), it will become the culture of your company/workers overtime." Commonsense? Yes. But only after you take a step back and think, you say "Huh. That is obvious."
Another after-the-matter obvious advice: Try to underdo your competition, just do fewer things but better. You should stand for something. A strong stand is how you attract superfans. Covering everything means you don't have focus. Provide the main functionality as simple as possible, avoid the bells and whistles, and be unashamedly proud about this.
Maybe the insight behind this advice is you should necessarily have a transformational idea. And when you have that, the auxiliary stuff do not matter that much, and may even distract from your transformational idea.
This next advice is very interesting and stands out in controversial way. The book says: Don't accept outside money for your startup. You will find enough money yourself, if you implement the less is more principle. If you can't fund it yourself, and get it prototype yourself, it is not worth doing it. You are not thinking less is more. When you get outside money, you are bound to make the sponsors/vendors happy and lose your flexibility and freedom for the following reasons: you give up control; cashing out begins to trump building a quality business; spending other people's money is addictive; it's usually a bad deal; you start building what investors what instead of what customers want; raising money is incredibly addictive.
The book got my respect when it said writing is very important. The book says: Hire the guy who is a better writer. Clear writing is a sign of clear thinking. Great writers know how to communicate, empathize, and know what to omit and what to stress.
For the writing style, the books says: When you are writing, write with your own voice. This is also a matter of honesty. Honesty is the smart policy in business. So why come of like dishonest when you write artificially. The important thing is to communicate, and you should just focus on that.
The book has so many other commonsense, simple, yet refreshing and radical advice. The book is a very good very easy read. It is written in a conversational style, and you feel like you are having a discussion with Jason and David. And, it seems like the book got very good reviews from business and thought leaders.

One of the Year 7 students Ellie at school bought me this adorable felted penguin she made after getting the Kirsty Allsopp craft book for Christmas to see and I promised I would make her one of my guest crafters. How cute is he??
I also tried to persuade her that it really belonged on my desk, but she was having none of it!

Several professional and college sports teams were forced to rearrange their travel plans as a massive storm swept through the Northeast, dumping a few feet of snow in some areas.
The NBA's New York Knicks were stuck in Minnesota after playing the Timberwolves on Friday night, hoping to try to fly home sometime Saturday. The San Antonio Spurs were also staying overnight in Detroit after seeing their 11-game winning streak fall to the Pistons, awaiting word on when they might be able to fly to New York for their game Sunday night at Brooklyn.
"We can't get there tonight - we know that," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "So we're going to stay here tonight and try to get there (Saturday). Hopefully, we will be able to get there, but at this point, we don't know."
Airlines canceled more than 5,300 flights through Saturday, and New York City's three major airports and Boston's Logan Airport closed.
The Brooklyn Nets planned to take a train home instead of flying from Washington D.C. after losing to the Wizards on Friday night.
Knicks coach Mike Woodson said before a 100-94 victory that his team initially planned to fly home after the game, but the flight had already been postponed. New York is scheduled to play the Los Angeles Clippers at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
The NHL's Boston Bruins pushed back the start of Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning by six hours because of the blizzard. The game originally slated for 1 p.m. was rescheduled for 7 p.m., but Boston was expected to be one of the cities hit hardest by the storm.
The storm had dumped more than 2 feet of snow on New England by early Saturday and knocked out power to 650,000 customers. The National Weather Service said up to 3 feet of snow is expected in Boston, threatening the city's 2003 record of 27.6 inches.
The Bruins and Lightning each already had road games scheduled for Sunday night.
The New Jersey Devils were still scheduled to host the Pittsburgh Penguins at 1 p.m., while the New York Islanders were slated to play at home against the Buffalo Sabres at 7 p.m.
Two Ivy League men's college basketball games that were scheduled for Saturday night were moved back to Sunday because of treacherous travel conditions.
Dartmouth will play at Cornell at noon on Sunday in Ithaca, N.Y., and Harvard will visit Columbia at 2 p.m. Sunday in New York. Dartmouth played at Columbia on Friday night, and Harvard played at Cornell. Two other Ivy League games were still scheduled to be played Saturday night, with Yale visiting Princeton and Brown playing at Pennsylvania.
Aqueduct also called off Saturday's card because of the storm. The track and Belmont Park were expected to remain open for wagering on out-of-town races, with racing scheduled to resume Sunday.

text: You have a point there Tiger, the true terminally stupid people need someone to turn on a computer so they'd be relatively safe, unless they were so far out that they said, "I need to create a log in for my bank account. Can you help me, and give me a really secure password?" Although I know of some people that store their bank info on their comps (unsecurely) Would that be classified as borrowing if someone uses that info? Well, we could give new meaning to borrowing. Especially, to borrowing with no interest. Like Bill Engvall says, "Here's your sign".

And you thought Gregg Doyel's (silly) question was as rough as it could get in a postgame press conference.
After a 2-1 defeat at Kazakhstan's hands in a Euro 2012 qualifier, the Azerbaijani press corps decided to express their displeasure with some advocacy journalism.
Azerbaijan's national soccer team coach, German veteran Berti Vogts, was pelted with toilet paper at a news conference in Baku on Sunday by journalists angry about recent results.
The journalists — some of whom also gave Vogts a pitcher used for post-toilet washing in the mainly Muslim country — demanded the German's resignation after the team's Euro 2012 qualifier defeat to Kazakhstan on Friday.
Local media reported he intended to press charges against the perpetrators.
I suppose that green pitcher is a good example of the pitcher in question. It's Muslim custom—Azerbaijan is 99 percent Muslim, though its head coach isn't—to use such a jug after defecating in absence of a bidet. (We'll say, if possible, splurge on the bidet.)
Perhaps Vogts would be best advised to stop saying shit like this before losses to so-so teams: "Our aim for the next qualifier series will be to become the world champion in Brazil in 2014, win the European champion in 2016 (laugh in the hall). We have already become first in singing. We have already become one of the best in wrestling and judo. Now it's football's turn."
That is, of course, if he isn't fired before the next press conference. Azerbaijan plays Vogts' native Germany on Tuesday.

I decided to go with a nice bright pop of color for the inner border. And get this -- it's a matching game! For every I-Spy in the border, there is one to match in the center of the quilt! Ha ha, I love it!!
I decided this quilt needed to go to my nephew for Christmas. I ended up taking out a few squares that were originally in the quilt and replaced them with some squares that would be specifically fun for him. Not too much seam ripping -- I only took out four squares on the edges.
The bright turquoise-y blue came from my stash. It's four different prints, all in the same color. I even ended up with exactly enough left over to do the binding.
All in all, I spent $5 for the backing -- and had everything else on hand. Not too shabby -- especially for a quilt that I absolutely ADORE!!

I would love to:
- be able to bend down without groaning
- sleep all night without getting up to pee or having crazy leg cramps
- eat whatever I want
- drink whatever I want
Not that I don't want this pregnancy but I just want it to be over. I'm done already and I still have 10 more weeks. I have lots to keep me busy in the next 2 1/2 months but that's even more of the problem. I just can't go at the same speed I have been. I pay for it the next day for sure. So at this point I'm just tired. I need to do some major revamping of our lives and simplifying even more. My Lilla Rose business is taking off and while I'm excited it is tiring.... hoping to push now and then spend some down time once the baby comes.
Mr Micah is super active... for those who have had boys and girls - do you remember a difference in their activity level while in the womb? I sure do. Boys are WAY more active then girls.... and they hurt a lot more - just stronger with their kicks and punches... I'm pretty sure I'm bruised in one spot already. I passed my glucose testing which I almost always do but am still having some blood issues - my platelet numbers are jumping all over the place so that's annoying and frustrating.... researching ways to bring them back up naturally so that I don't have to have steroids or be induced. Two things I really detest!
I have to give a huge shout-out to my hubby though - we make such an awesome team and in his words 'we'd be screwed without each other'. :)
So we're plugging on and focusing on the end prize.... a sweet baby boy. How do I not wish these days away right now?
