Participants included the Miller Center's Oral History Program Senior Fellow and Editor Michael Nelson, Rhodes College, as well as Nicole Mellow, Williams College; Marian Currinder, Georgetown University; and David Mayhew, Yale University. The session was moderated by the Miller Center's Director of Democracy & Governance Studies, Sid Milkis. Read on for highlights of the session and watch the video for more in-depth analysis of the 2012 election. Nicole Mellow noted that even though Barack Obama was a very different candidate in 2012 compared to 2008, the election outcome was very similar. In 2008, he was the candidate that promoted "hope" and "change," but this time around he represented the status quo. Whereas in 2008, he critiqued the handling of the economy, this time he "owned" a middling economy. In 2008, Obama criticized the war presidency, yet he has continued many of the same policies. According to Mellow, this demonstrates stability in terms of partisanship and voting patterns. Very few voters were up for grabs in this election. The coalition that gave Obama success hinged in important ways on his ability to bring together two elements of the Democratic Party that haven't always been aligned and have often proved challenging for other Democratic candidates. Mellow argued that the coalition was built on two particular moments – the New Deal of the 1930s and the social justice mentality of the 1970s. In terms of the economic commitments, 63 percent of voters with family income under $30,000 voted for Obama, bearing out a class-based alignment of the parties that has spanned the 20th century. But she also noted that Democrats have had trouble in retaining middle class support. The Obama campaign also recognized that social justice and equality have increasing benefits for the party. Along the domain of education and educational attainment, Obama received a majority of the vote of those with a high school degree or less. But, the only other education group from which he received a majority was the post-graduate constituency. Obama also did remarkably well with young voters, who are more diverse and can be viewed as a sign of future party loyalty. Finally, Obama received strong support from African American voters (93% voted for Obama) and from Hispanic voters (71% voted for Obama), which was helpful to Obama in states like Nevada, Colorado and Florida, all three of which went to Bush in 2000 and 2004. Marian Currinder highlighted the role of campaign spending, emphasizing its limits. She pointed out that while election spending topped $6 billion, we still have the status quo. In this election we saw the big dogs/fat cats unleashed, with one particular individual – Sheldon Adelson – playing a prominent role. Thanks to the Speech Now vs. FEC decision, individuals can give what they want to an independent group and spend what they want on speech. We also saw a greater role for Super PACs and 501c4 groups that engage in electioneering and lobbying activities, providing a means for big donors to launder money to Super PACs. There was an astonishingly small number of donors behind the $1 billion worth of outside spending. The silver lining for some is that it didn't make a big difference – both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue still look the same. But outside groups are not going away and they're looking for more effective ways to spend money in 2014 and 2016. Currinder also noted that not all dollars are created equal and this was particularly evident in the presidential race. For Obama, fundraising was a tool for mobilization. Both presidential campaigns and their Party Committees raised about the same about of money, but they had very different bases of support and strategies. Currinder argued that the differences in who contributed to each campaign mattered. Obama's donors gave smaller amounts, but he could return to them over and over again, and use fundraising as a tool to get donors involved in grassroots efforts. On the other hand, Romney's donors maxed out after one or two contributions, so he was forced to constantly seek new donors. Romney's approach also did little to mobilize grassroots support. Obama had more control over the money he spent because it was coming from his campaign account, whereas more of Romney's money was spent by the party and outside groups. Finally, Currinder asserted there are limits to the effectiveness of outside spending. She acknowledged there is no doubt that outside spending played a role, especially in House races. But, candidates know their districts and know their states. Many outside groups are based in DC and swoop in at the last minute without knowing the contours of district and what people care about. David Mayhew emphasized that the 2012 election was about a perfect storm of incumbency and it was possible because there was little "edge" in the 2012 election (i.e. there was no Iraq War as in 2006, no big economic crisis as in 2008 and no voter blowback as in 2010). Thus, the 2012 election defaulted back to the normal conditions, the statistical incumbency pattern, of the last 20 years or so. At the presidential level, the pattern has been that if the party runs its same candidate again, then the party keeps the office 60% of the time. (If it is an open seat, it's a 48% chance that the same party holds the office). Why is this case? If you're in office, then you have no trouble raising money and you have a campaign organization that is in good shape. As president, you can also do things (e.g. appear with Chris Christie after a hurricane, fire drones, etc.). Voters can also be risk averse. The opposition can also face challenges in its nominating process and with its party base, a difficulty the incumbent party doesn't face. The incumbency advantage story of 2012 is also corroborated at other levels of government. Of the six governors running, all of them were re-elected. Of the 22 senators running, 21 were reelected. Scott Brown (R-MA) was the only senator who wasn't reelected, but interestingly, he was also the only one who never faced a November electorate before. In the House of Representatives, it's important to note that not all members were running in the same districts because of reapportionment. Yet, 94% of Democrats were reelected and 92% of Republicans were, giving the House a 93% total incumbency rate. Of the 63 House Republican Freshman who took Democratic seats in 2010, 86% were reelected (only 9 lost). This is a remarkable success rate considering that 2010 was not a normal election. Furthermore, whether the Republican in one of the 63 districts ran well was largely independent of who was doing the redistricting. Even without redistricting, the Republicans would have kept 224 seats, still retaining the majority. There were also eight states in which Democrats took a Senate seat while the Republicans took the majority of that state's House seats. Mayhew argued this was partially due to bad nominating by Republicans and partially the result of incumbency advantage. Mayhew also noted that divided party control is also a persistent feature of government. There is no instance of Republicans controlling just the Senate since Grover Cleveland was president. Since 1956, it is more common than not that one party will win the presidency and one party will win the House. Mayhew proffered that the likely explanation was the public individuation of candidates. Michael Nelson highlighted the adaptive behavior of the parties since Bill Clinton's presidency. Before Clinton, more presidents faced challenges from within their party (e.g. Ford, Carter) as a result of changes that opened up the nominating process in 1972. The adaptive behavior began with Clinton. He was both vulnerable and unpopular, but he figured out that just by being president, he could raise preemptive amounts of money and use his in-tact campaign organization to scare off potential Democratic challengers. It was a pattern followed by both George W. Bush and by Obama. Nelson also argued that second term presidents aren't likely to achieve much of their agenda. He noted that Obama has been pushing immigration reform, gun control and climate change as if he has a mandate to move forward on those issues, but none of them were election issues. The Elections of 2012, the book that provided the basis for the panelists remarks, will be published by CQ Press in March. More information on the book can be found here. Watch the full panel here.

The archery deer season opens on Saturday, August 18. Anglers who enjoy wandering up a creek or river course may wish to wear bright colors as a safety precaution.
Cool weather stimulates the appetite and aggressiveness of a trout. Traditionally, autumn offers some of the best fishing of the year. Now in effect is a fishing license requirement for 12- and 13-year-olds. The price is $5.
Bow hunters should take along their fishing gear for the daytime lull, when big game animals bed down, and archery hunting is least effective.
ABAJO MOUNTAINS: Conservation Officer Paul Washburn reports that Foy and Monticello lakes offer good fishing with traditional baits. Fishing at Recapture, Lloyd's and Blanding reservoirs was slow.
BENCHES RESERVOIR: Justin Burrup described fishing as good for anglers using worms and rainbow PowerBait. Fly fishermen should have a black gnat in their tackle box for evening surface feeding.
BLUE LAKE: (above Joe's Valley Reservoir) No anglers were present at the time of the creel survey. A week ago, worms or flies were recommended.
BLUE LAKE: (near Emerald Lake) Small (6- to 10-inch) grayling and 8- to 10-inch rainbow trout occur in this high elevation lake. Justin Hart recommends scuds or double renegades.
BOULGERS RESERVOIR: Fishing was good with rainbow PowerBait and worms.
CLEVELAND RESERVOIR: Success has fluctuated between poor and fair. A worm and orange PowerBait combo was the ticket. The best spinners have been Jake's or Panther Martins in yellow and black. Todd Munford reported fair fishing from a boat on the northwest side with nightcrawlers and yellow marshmallow. Tom Ogden has had luck with dark #8 wooly buggers or leeches.
COVE LAKE: (on the South Skyline Drive) Over the weekend, anglers caught rainbows up to 16 inches. Tiger trout were smaller. They used a fly and bubble.
DUCK FORK RESERVOIR: Aquatics Biologist Kenny Breidinger caught 6 tigers in 2.5 hours last weekend. The fish ranged between 10 to 17 inches. He used a brown beadhead nymph, which was pulled slowly through the water. Dedicated Hunter Bob Nichols rated the reservoir as fair. He recommended a Panther Martin spinner with a black body and gold blade.
ELECTRIC LAKE: Cory Winder reported slow fishing at Electric Lake. He caught one trout, trolling with pop gear and a worm. His dad caught two with a renegade fly. Dedicated Hunter Justin Burrup also described fishing success as slow, but a little better in the early morning. He recommended a gnat or mosquito pattern in the evening.
EMERALD LAKE: (on the south Skyline Drive) Aquatics Biologist Kenny Breidinger reported slow fishing for both grayling and rainbow trout. Fisheries Biologist Justin Hart recommends a scud or double renegade for the grayling, which range from 6 to 10 inches.
FAIRVIEW LAKES: Todd Munford of King's Outdoor World fished recently and reported great shoreline fishing. He recommends a two-leader set-up. Hook a nightcrawler to three feet of leader, and rainbow PowerBait to 18 inches of leader. Todd reported excellent fly-fishing from a pontoon boat or tube. Try a red crystal bugger or brown leech on sinking line, trolled slowly through the water. The lakes are low with the best fishing occurring on the west lake.
FERRON RESERVOIR: Fishing has picked up, especially from a boat. Put your bait on the bottom with a sliding sinker and allow it to float up a foot. The best lures are Jakes or Panther Martins. Conservation Officer Casey Mickelson recommends green wooly buggers or deer flies.
GIGLIOTTI POND: No recent report.
GOOSEBERRY RESERVOIR: Success has really picked up! Best fishing occurs in the early morning with a PowerBait/worm or marshmallow/worm combo. Avoid moss beds by fishing deeper water.
GRASSY LAKE: Fishing has ranged between fair and poor. No recommendations.
HUNTINGTON CREEK: Fly fishermen have had limited success with a number of patterns, including: San Juan worm, pheasant tail, beadhead hare's ear, hopper, elk hair caddis, or renegade. Browns are 11 to 13 inches.
HUNTINGTON NORTH STATE PARK: Last week, Calvin Grogan of Price landed a 27-pound, 36-inch catfish. This broke the record established a week earlier by Clifton Elliot of Price, who took home a 25-pound channel cat. Both men fished from the bank in the late evening. Calvin used raw liver and chicken meat. Clifton fished with a nightcrawler. They used 8- to 10-pound test monofilament line and let their baits sit on the bottom. The water level is extremely low, which has concentrated the fish, making the prospect of taking a trophy much more likely.
HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR: (also known as MAMMOTH RESERVOIR) Success has ranged from slow to fair. Fly fishermen have had moderate success with a black marabou bugger. Spincasters reported success with a gold Jake's Spin-a-Lure. For bait fishermen, try a worm/cheese combo, using orange glitter PowerBait. This reservoir has special regulations. Please refer to the proclamation.
JOE'S VALLEY RESERVOIR: Dedicated Hunter Bob Nichols saw and interviewed only one angler at the reservoir. He caught a 12-inch tiger trout with a worm. Special regulations apply at this reservoir. The limit is two fish. Only one may be over 22 inches. All trout from 15 to 22 inches must be immediately released.
LAKE POWELL: Visit www.wayneswords.com for the fishing report, provided by Wayne Gustaveson, DWR project leader.
LASAL MOUNTAINS: Aquatics Biologist Darek Elverud fished Ken's Lake recently and reported good fishing for green sunfish and fair fishing for bass. Small jigs worked best for sunfish. The bass were hitting spinnerbaits and plastic worms in deeper water. Darker colors, such as black or purple, worked best. The bass were mostly 8 to 12 inches. The Mill Creek Bridge remains under construction and will be impassable until November. Anglers wanting to fish Oowah must access the lake from the south end of the LaSal Mountain Loop Road. Warner Lake fishermen will need to come from the Castle Valley side.
LOWER FISH CREEK: Success ranges from fair to good. One spincaster reported good luck with a yellow Panther Martin with red dots. Todd Munford of King's Outdoor World recommends a #18 Griffith's gnat or #12 hopper.
MILLER FLAT RESERVOIR: Poor fishing continues. No recommendations.
MILLSITE RESERVOIR: Park Manager Dan Richards recommends trolling with Shad Raps or Roostertails at a depth of 6 to 12 feet. Pop gear and spoons have also been effective.
PETE'S HOLE: Dedicated Hunter Bob Nichols reported excellent fishing with rainbow PowerBait or nightcrawlers or a combination of the two. Most trout are 8 to 9 inches.
POTTER'S PONDS: Fly fishermen in tubes and pontoons experienced excellent fishing last weekend with wooly buggers or renegades. Silver Mepp's spinners with an orange blade worked best for spincasters. All colors of PowerBait were effective.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR: Fishing was best in the early morning. Fly fishermen have had best luck from tubes or toons with black wooly buggers or leeches. Bait fishermen have had the best luck with lime twist, green, rainbow or orange twist PowerBait. Boaters continue to have the advantage. They get beyond the moss beds. Good lures include a Jake's or black Panther Martin with yellow dots.
SOUP BOWL: Dedicated Hunter Bob Nichols described fishing as excellent. He watched a small party of anglers catch a trout every five minutes on cheese bait. Wooly buggers have been an effective fly pattern.
STRAIGHT CANYON: Try worms or a black Panther Martin with yellow dots.
WRIGLEY SPRINGS RESERVOIR: Slow fishing continues. There was a partial fish kill in recent weeks. Summer heat and low oxygen have caused a number of trout to "belly up."
WILLOW RESERVOIR: Fishing success was fair. Fly fishermen should try a green wooly bugger or deer fly. Spincasters should pack Jake's lures in the tackle box. Popular baits have included green PowerBait or live grasshoppers. Most trout are about 11-inches long.

Comfortable, nice quality
"I really like these boots - they are comfortable, stylish, and hold up well with a lot of use. The buckles are perfect and will allow you to narrow the calf if needed. They are great for those of us with a little wider calf. My only problem with them is that the leather is so butter soft that after a few wears that it bunches around the ankle a little. I would have given it 5 stars otherwise. Possibly the most comfortable boots I have ever owned."

Awesome Boot!
"Very comfortable and stylish boot. The zippers are a bit difficult to unzip, but once you find out where to hold them, they zip right down. Not that big of a deal. Calves are a little loose even when on the last hole, but again, it's not a big deal. Still cute and comfortable."

What if instead of killing that Vasto Lord she sealed it withing herself "Kushina style" so it was inside her while she was pregnant. The idea of killing a VL that even a captain couldn't beat seems a bit much but maybe using some ancient Quincy technique she could seal it.
Also I was wondering why Isshin aged but I guess it has something to do with the artificial body he was given
- On a side note Kukaku Shiba must be the younger sister of Isshin and I bet she lost her arm fighting that Vasto Lord thing.

The Sun Publishes Best-Worst Internet Trend Piece Ever
What a day for News Corp: First Rupert Murdoch is ruled by Members of Parliament to be unfit to run a major international company; then, The Sun publishes a press-halting exposé on the emerging trend of "wacky cat pics" allegedly "wowing the web."
It's true! Netizens from GeoCities to Angelfire are going absolutely pets.com for these cuddly, Cheezburger-crazy furballs and the "silly captions describing them."
Some, however, are not quite as smitten as they should be with these so-called "lolcats" (so named "after net slang for 'laughing out loud'").
Sun reader finaldj made this valid argument: "It would be funnier if it was in english 'can I haz' whats all that about crap." Indeed.
Luckily, Sun reader sunsAndy was on hand to set the buzzkill straight: "Its supposed to represent how the cat would speak if the cat could speak. It adds cuteness." It sure does.
What will the Internet think of next?

Swimming Stones / Isaac(squared)
A kinetic water sculpture fountain sculpted by internationally acclaimed artist Christian Tobin Isaac(squared) brings Aurora the most mysterious essence of both science and art. Here the hydrostatic force of water unleashing the kinetic energy of stone creates a work of compelling vitality inviting us to look and linger, talk and even dream. These four massive granite obelisks - 12 feet in height, weighing 4000 pounds each- feature top-stone segments, rhythmically rocking and swiveling, balanced on cushions of water. Each time a top-stone centers itself on the middle of its tower and is restored to equilibrium, the power of gravity is once more proclaimed: each turn of a stone replying to the center of the earth. The elemental effect of the force of water through each of these commanding rock pillars cascading onto the pedestrian walk below brings us together with the laws of nature and the transformational power of art.
This theatre offers affordable, live entertainment, comedy, concerts, dance and family shows. Group discounts/theatre rentals; perfect for meetings, performances, fundraisers and banquets.

Ron Salazar had a dream. He wanted to become a school principal.
As he grew up, he kept his dream at the forefront of his mind, continuing to believe that someday it would come true.
His dedication and focus have paid off in more ways than he ever expected, Salazar said. He has been a principal for 17 years and was recently chosen as the outstanding administrative employee of the year by the Adams 12 Hispanic Advisory Council.
"I was surprised by the award. I tend to be a pretty humble person, so knowing I was nominated by one of my teachers was special," Salazar said. "It was not expected, but it was a nice justification of the things we are doing here as a staff."
The Hispanic Advisory Council was formed to help Adams 12 Five Star Schools create pathways of success for Hispanic students. Each year the council hosts an awards ceremony honoring Hispanic students and staff. This year's event was on May 1.
Lillian Gutierrez, chairperson for the council, said there were a multitude of reasons that Salazar was chosen as the administrative employee of the year, including the work he's done for the past two years in a "challenging" school.
"Many of the students at Federal Heights Elementary are English-language learners, with many needing reduced-rate lunches, yet he manages to keep the staff interested in doing their very best," she said. "He encourages the staff by doing the work himself and making sure everybody knows that the kids are the most important thing."
This Salazar's 17th year in the district. Before coming to Federal Heights Elementary, he was an assistant principal at Silver Hills Middle School. He said his roots in Adams 12 run deep: his wife teaches in the district, and all of his children grew up in the district. He said he has worked hard, but the many teachers, coaches and administrators who have supported him over the years also deserve credit for his success.
"Many people helped me get to where I am today, and because of that I wanted to give back and really teach kids that the good they do now will come back to them in the future," he said. "I want kids to have the opportunities I had and tell them that is doesn't matter what race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status you are. You can be successful if you put the effort into it."
Although Salazar received the award, he credits the honor to his staff, of whom he said he couldn't be more proud. Every day students walk into school with a smile and leave with a smile because of the collective efforts and work of the staff, Salazar said.
Even though teaching can be exhausting, he said, his teachers are dedicated to creating a warm, happy place for students, always putting the children before themselves.
"I normally think I'm a pretty pragmatic guy, but I also know that where we are going, we are changing a ton of lives," he said. "I have never seen a staff be so supportive of the kids; they love them as their own. Next year will be even better, and the year after that."

Energy & Power
The Museum's collections on energy and power illuminate the role of fire, steam, wind, water, electricity, and the atom in the nation's history. The artifacts include wood-burning stoves, water turbines, and windmills, as well as steam, gas, and diesel engines. Oil-exploration and coal-mining equipment form part of these collections, along with a computer that controlled a power plant and even bubble chambers—a tool of physicists to study protons, electrons, and other charged particles.
A special strength of the collections lies in objects related to the history of electrical power, including generators, batteries, cables, transformers, and early photovoltaic cells. A group of Thomas Edison's earliest light bulbs are a precious treasure. Hundreds of other objects represent the innumerable uses of electricity, from streetlights and railway signals to microwave ovens and satellite equipment.

Survey boat GRAND
- Description
- Grand is one of four boats used to survey the "ruggedest" 300 miles of the Colorado River's Grand Canyon during the 1923 expedition by the U.S. Geological Survey. Led by Col. Claude Birdseye, the expedition's primary purpose was to survey potential dam sites for the development of hydroelectric power. Indeed, the survey party mapped twenty-one new sites.
- Grand is eighteen feet long, with a beam of four feet, eleven inches. Heavily built of oak, spruce, and cedar, the boat weighs about 900 pounds. Grand is one of three boats ordered in 1921 by the survey's sponsors, the Edison Electric Company, and built at the Fellows and Stewart Shipbuilding Works in San Pedro. The vessels were patterned after those designed by the Kolb brothers, who had based their boats on vessels used by trappers in the upper Colorado River canyons.

Bryant's New Showboat
- Description
- Bryant's New Showboat was built at Point Pleasant, W. Va., in 1917. Launched in 1918, it could seat around 880 people in its theater. Most of the shows put on for Bryant's patrons in small towns along the Kanawha, Ohio, Monongahela, Illinois, and Mississippi Rivers were vaudeville or follies productions.
- The ornate stage of Bryant's New Showboat was home to dozens of plays like Hamlet and Little Nell of the Ozarks, and even the antics of a trained bucking mule named January. Owner Billy Bryant offered $10 to anyone who could stay on the animal's back, but he had to retract that offer in mining towns, as the miners were strong enough to stay on.
- The vessel was sold to new owners in 1945, at the end of World War II. Movie theaters, personal automobiles and other developments had gradually ended the colorful showboat era on America's rivers.

Wow, 10 pieces for $7.50 - that adds a lot to cost of the MOSFET!
I live in Romania, so have 3 options:
Is Farnell expensive in Romania?For a part like this?I don't know what this price relates to in US dollars.http://ro.farnell.com/international-rectifier/auirf4905/mosfet-w-diode-p-ch-55v-74a-to220ab/dp/1865604
I have just tried Farnell. They sell it for about 2.5$, same as the Chinese eBay seller (which could be fake). They say it's coming from UK, so it would probably take less time. The problem is however, that they haven't got a user-friendly site and I just can't figure out how much the transport to Romania would be without trying to actually buy the stuff

Alexandra Baldwin, British Museum
Five years ago I, and my colleague Simon Dove in the department of Conservation and Scientific Research at the British Museum, joined a team from Wessex Archaeology in a field in Wiltshire to excavate what we thought were three small bowls. Two weeks later, in baking sun and torrential rain, we had lifted 10 – or 12 – rather large cauldrons.
Brilliant! 10 Cauldrons! Being extremely rare, this was an exciting find.
One would have been fantastic. Three would have been amazing. But 10-12, on the other hand, was a huge challenge. First, we had to excavate them. Then we had to store them and finally conserve them so we can learn from them and perhaps even put them on display.
With such a huge find, and with the conservation project alone estimated to take two of us two years, Jody Joy, British Museum curator of Iron Age Britain, and I decided to apply for funding to study the cauldrons properly and conserve them so that we could understand their wider significance and give them the attention they deserve.
Now we have the funding, work has started and over the next two years myself and a colleague, and Jody, along with scientists and other British Museum staff, will be unravelling the evidence of life in the Iron Age the cauldrons can provide us with.
In the coming months I'll be writing regular posts – as will Jody, and my colleague in the conservation team Jamie Hood – documenting the journey through the project and describing what goes on behind the scenes at the British Museum, revealing discoveries as we find them… and not to mention the challenges we face.

Skip to comments.In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)
Posted on 03/01/2012 6:00:33 AM PST by ImJustAnotherOkie
click here to read article
I am in shock! AB was a young man and one of our best and strongest voices. Prayers up!
Is this real?
Is this for real!???
No way. Nothing on Breitbart or his friend Drudge's web site.
Rest in Peace defender of liberty.
Unbelievable, tragic. A great loss.
Say it isn't so.....sigh...he will be missed
Natural causes? Nobody has died in the US from "natural causes" since the 1950's, when that was no longer accepted on death certificates. I'm curious as to "what" natural cause was the cause of his death.
I always wonder why at least ONE of the barbara boxers or barney franks of the world don't just die early, like happens occasionally to normal people.
If it's true it's mighty Ironic that he was about to drop a huge bomb regarding Obama's college days....
He is the one voice conservatives could least afford to lose right now. I am shocked and horrified.
I smell a hoax...or left wing hackers
I don't understand how a 42 year old can die of natural causes. This is horrible.
Heart attack?
Too bad he passed. He'll be missed. RIP
Mr. Breitbart was a tremendous force for good and a beacon of TRUTH and LIGHT in the dark days in which we live. His legacy and contributions to a free and honest media will live on, but he will be missed. Our condolences to the Breitbart family, may the God of all comfort, greatly comfort you in your time of loss.
If you click on http://bighollywood.breitbart.com it's on the main page.
So it's real.
RIP Andrew Breitbart.
The "natural causes" part is the big giveaway that this is fake.
I'll hold on to hope for just a bit longer.
Oh No. So sad. Prayers to his family. I always enjoyed hearing him speak. He was a true patriot. How sad.
Haven't seen this anywhere else and I've read four newspapers and Yahoo already this morning.
I am stunned. Yet I can't find anything besides this news item. Strange.
If it's true, I am very disheartened and sad. He is one of the fearless ones.
I sure as hell hope so. Nothing shows on any other site about this.
He was just on a local radio show this week and he sounded fine.
Oh no
So far this is the only link that has this information. Nothing on twitter, nothing on google news, or anything. So, I'm curious if this is a prank.
Yes, he said he had videos at CPAC.
It's not on Wiki yet................
Breitbart had a lot of enemies on the left. He passed last night of so called natural causes. One would suggest an in depth investigation. He was a fighter may God rest his soul.
We've lost an incredibly important piece from our side of the chess board.
Real shocker...I wouldn't believe it except it is on his web site. Very low key.
Very suspicious. I think his site has been hacked.
Already, I'm highly suspicious. How does someone aged 43 die "unexpectedly" of "natural causes?"
His courageous example will be sorely missed.
The devil is happy this morning.
RIP, Andrew.
—I dont understand how a 42 year old can die of natural causes. This is horrible.—
He can't. The term is not used any more as a cause of death. That is one reason this smacks of hoax.
It looks like it was only reported 10mins ago
That was my reaction too.
This is totally unexpected. Wow.
Any chance of him being taken out by unnatural causes?
>> I dont understand how a 42 year old can die of natural causes.
It's rare in someone that young, but it *can* happen. Example: ruptured brain, abdominal, or thoracic aneurysm. Death can follow within minutes, and there are often no warning signs beforehand.
This is devastating. Sooo young. RIP Mr. Breitbart :(
Wow, what a shocker. Out of the blue. We lost one of our best journalistic warriors.
Looks authentic to me. See too http://www.breitbart.tv/in-memoriam-andrew-breitbart-1969-2012/
Its on his own site unless someone hacked it
FOX hasn't mentioned this yet.
ABCNNBCBS would not care if he died and probably wouldn't report on it if he did..............
Stunned, simply stunned. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
We'll continue the fight, Andrew, you rest now in peace.

Afternoon Headshots: March 28th
Patrick Johnston
March 28 2013 06:41PM
Nice screen cap, Jason Rickey
And around and around and around we go...it's an afternoon headshots session. Come in from the sunshine and get yourself set for the big Avs vs Canucks showdown...
Today at CA, we've got a game preview, Drance looking back at the Hodgson/Kassian trade, what might be his last Strombabble (small tear) and Angus on the re-signing dilemmas that are Higgins and Lapierre,
So, EA Sports wants you to recreate the Schneids' shutout of the Kings last weekend. That's pretty cool, but look at that page again. First of all, they spell Cory as 'Corey'; second, look at the mask they've got on him. That just looks like a bizarre modification of the mask Lu used to wear. Huh. I guess 'It's in the game' just doesn't mean what it used to. [EA Sports]
Capitals dman Karl Alzner grew up a Canucks fan, but said he's sad to see Iginla leave Calgary. [CSN Washington]
Luongo's last Night in Vancouver wearing #Canucks jersey tonight? Canucks not home before trade deadline after tonight. #Änäri— Tommi Seppälä (@TommiSeppala) March 28, 2013
Good point, Tommi. This is going to be a weird weekend, because this really should be 'it'...
Dave B of NW Sports Beat does a bettors-breakdown of tonight's Canucks-Avalanche tilt. [NWSportsBeat]
Puck Daddy's fantasy weekly has Canucks as both studs and duds today. One isn't really that suprising, the other is definitely cause for concern (and we've written about him before). Hint: they have similar hair... [Puck Daddy]
More Swedes than ever in the building tonight:
Tonight we're heading to @rogersarena for #Avalanche vs. #Canucks. We'll be in the 100-level waving a Swedish and a Canadian flag.— Jonas Bolldén (@jbollden) March 28, 2013
The dastardly Harrison Mooney sings the praises of Jordan "Shredder" Schroeder. (What makes Harrison 'dastardly'? I don't know, but he *is* from Maple Ridge...) Could he be the third-line centre come playoff-time? [Pass it to Bulis]
Steve Ewen of The Province reports that Henrik says the Canucks' powerplay needs to shoot more. He must've gotten around to reading Drance's piece from three weeks ago. Henrik's right. [The Province]
Keith Ballard, solution to all the Canucks' problems, has a fractured foot. Conspirators, unite. [Vancouver Sun]
There's plenty more to come from CA ahead of next week's trade deadline, but here's a taster from Head to the Net about potential targets for the Canucks. There's a few names in there that we agree on... [Head to the Net]
Canadian Press put together a few best/worst trades for your consideration. The Canucks are in there twice. [The Province]
And, one more time, just for fun, Nick Jensen shoot out goal from last night's Chicago Wolves win over Oklahoma City... (Drance wrote about this last night)

What's up all,
Let's kick this holiday season up a notch by continuing our simulcast lineup announcements with Love Live! School Idol Project.
This brand new series from NIS and Sunrise, the same studio that brought you Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere and Accel World, will broadcast on Crunchyroll every Tuesday starting on January 8, at 8:00 am Pacific Time.
"Otonokizaka High School is planning to close within three years. However, nine (9) female students come together with one thing in mind—form a pop idol group to revive the school's popularity and keep it from shutting down. 'In order to protect our beloved school, there's only one thing we can do...become pop stars!'
Their goal is simple: Become an overnight sensation and use their nationwide media exposure to promote their school and bring in a wave of new students to the ailing area. A simple but solid plan, they figure. Naturally, they're nervous and wonder if this plan can really succeed, but for better or worse their new journey has begun..."
Love Live! School Idol Project will be available to Crunchyroll's audience in the following areas: USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Central and South America.
Also, don't forget that the console war battles will rage on with another episode of Aoi Sekai no Chushin de which is slated to broadcast on Crunchyroll very soon, so stay tuned in for that! More details on its broadcast date coming soon.

Your link is broken. Correct: http://www.crunchyroll.com/love-live-school-idol-project
The real reason why schools in Japan is because of the declining population, so instead of turning into an idol group, these girls should be making babies
On a more serious note, I hope this series is better than Idolmaster. It does seem that Love Live will have plot compared to the Idolmaster anime which is good.
Yay, Blast of Tempest is still ingoing!!! Aoi Sekai no Chushin de is the anime that comes out every 3months! LOL

A Kansas Community Dedicated to Providing Access to Locally Grown Food
Lawrence, Kansas has been building a local/regional foods movement since the early 1970's. In other words – they made local foods "cool" long before the local food movement and Farmer's Markets gained in popularity across the nation.
The movement started with the creation of a retail food cooperative called the "The Merc" in 1974. The cooperative started with four individuals and currently includes more than 6,800. The Lawrence farmers market has grown from a single Saturday morning market to four markets each week supported by regional producers that grow everything from asparagus to zucchini – from "A" to "Z" in the fruit and vegetable alphabet.

If the Benton Spring Flings are any indication of things to come, Harrisburg boys track and field, may be the team to beat in southern Illinois this season.
Despite not being a scored event, the Bulldogs brought home eight out of 18 overall events Saturday in Franklin County with D.J. Duncan carrying the torch for Harrisburg as the senior won the 110 high hurdles, the 300 intermediate hurdles and was a part of the 400 and 1600 meter relay teams that also took top prize.
Duncan won the 110's with a time of 15.1 and took home gold in the 300 with a time of 39.6. Duncan then anchored the 1600 meter relay team that won with a time of 3:32.
Also on the 1600 meter relay team was Luke Horton, Preston Boone and Capel Henshaw.
Duncan led off for the 400 meter relay team, along with Corbin Crim, Dylan Yates and Bryan Miller that finished with a top time of 45.7.
The Harrisburg 800 meter relay team also finished in first place with a time of 1:35.9 and featured Crim, Miller, Henshaw and Yates.
Isaac Ingram won the shot put for the Bulldogs with a toss of 49-feet-11 and Jacob Conkle won the long jump, clearing 20-feet-7.
Horton rounded things out by winning the 800 meter relay with a time of 2:03.
Other teams to compete Saturday in Benton included the host Rangers, along with Murphysboro, Herrin, Goreville, Sparta, Egyptian, Okawville and Meridian, just to name a few.
Late last week, Harrisburg participated in a Ohio Division conference preview type meet with fellow schools, minus West Frankfort.
It was a non-scored team meet, but the Bulldogs did win 13-of-18 events, including the 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 meter relays.
Duncan also won the 110 high hurdles and the 300 intermediate hurdles.
Snowy Bjornsson was a double-winner, along with Duncan, winning the long jump and triple jump.
Ingram was tops in the shot put, while Austin Lowry won the pole vault. Corbin Crim took the 200 meter race and Boone won the 400, while Horton won the 800.

Great boots!
"Just received my boots today and I am very pleased. The boots are comfortable enough that I can wear them all day. I wear a solid size 8 and these do slide just a bit but not enough to make me exchange or downsize. If you like to wear thin socks then I would suggest a half size down. I did notice the calve does run snug so if that's an issue for you, these would definitely not work. The leather is good quality, beautiful and soft. Can't wait for winter so I can wear them!"

Break them in first
"I love these. I had them on my wishlist for a while, and in an effort to find black flats for a late notice event, I found them on clearance at DSW. I tried them on and realized that they were not as comfortable as my other TH flats, but out of every black flat in the store (it was a smaller store), they were the cutest, so I bought them and wore them that night. My feet were fine for the first few hours, then I felt blisters forming and my pinkie toe swelling. Then I wore them to school the next day, and they hurt a little less. Since buying them, I've worn them about 20 or so times, and now they're great. The shoe just needed to be broken in, like all TH shoes. If you don't have the patience to break shoes in, I suggest putting insoles in them, using anti- chafing gel (which is great for all shoes if you're blister prone like me), and wearing toe guards."

Perfect fit
"I bought this pair for my niece (11 years old). Looks perfect, thinking to buy another pair for myself. Looks cute and comfy. Perfect colors and good with jeans as well as dresses, and skirts."

"I wore these shoes only once and ended up with the backs digging painfully into my heels. They were SO painfully uncomfortable and made me bleed."

much better than expected!
"I was looking for an animal print sandal that wasn't too high and this fits the bill. Cute and seems comfortable but I've only worn for few minutes around the house. Nice addition to my sandal collection."

"I received many compliments when I wore the shoe. Its stylish and sexy. I'm not one to where a heel over 31/2" but these were very easy to walk in."
