Skip to comments.Karl Roves prediction: Romney 51, Obama 48
Posted on 11/01/2012 8:26:06 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
A shot of optimism after a day of eeyorish state polls. How does Rove arrive at this result when eight of the last nine Ohio surveys have O ahead? In two steps: (1) He clearly trusts the national data over the state data, and (2) he cites historical numbers showing that incumbents recently have tended to overperform their national polling on election day by only one percent or so. Obama's tied with Romney in the RCP national average tonight at 47.4. If, per the historical data, O's ceiling is therefore at 48 percent, then it follows that most everyone else will break for Romney and that his national advantage will carry him to narrow wins in the states he needs.
As for Ohio:
Adrian Gray, who oversaw the Bush 2004 voter-contact operation and is now a policy analyst for a New York investment firm, makes the point that as of Tuesday, 530,813 Ohio Democrats had voted early or had requested or cast an absentee ballot. That's down 181,275 from four years ago. But 448,357 Ohio Republicans had voted early or had requested or cast an absentee ballot, up 75,858 from the last presidential election.
That 257,133-vote swing almost wipes out Mr. Obama's 2008 Ohio victory margin of 262,224. Since most observers expect Republicans to win Election Day turnout, these early vote numbers point toward a Romney victory in Ohio. They are also evidence that Scott Jennings, my former White House colleague and now Romney Ohio campaign director, was accurate when he told me that the Buckeye GOP effort is larger than the massive Bush 2004 get-out-the-vote operation.
Democrats explain away those numbers by saying that they are turning out new young Ohio voters. But I asked Kelly Nallen, the America Crossroads data maven, about this. She points out that there are 12,612 GOP "millennials" (voters aged 18-29) who've voted early compared with 9,501 Democratic millennials.
Are Democrats bringing out episodic voters who might not otherwise turn out? Not according to Ms. Nallen. She says that about 90% of each party's early voters so far had also voted in three of the past four Ohio elections.
In other words, the dam that O's built among early voters simply isn't tall enough to hold back the red tide next Tuesday. One caveat to Rove's point about the national numbers, though: According to RCP, Obama's either tied or ahead in seven of the last 10 national polls taken. Romney still leads in Rasmussen and Gallup, and in only three of those 10 does Obama reach 49 percent or higher, but things have evened out a bit after Romney's post-Denver debate surge. Case in point is the new Fox News poll tonight, which has the race dead even at 46 after Romney led by a point in early October. The topline number is not so good for Mitt, but the fundamentals are:
Independents give the edge to Romney by seven percentage points (46-39 percent). Thats down from a 12-point advantage in early October…
Among the subgroup of most interested voters, those who are extremely interested in the election, Romney leads Obama by 53-42 percent…
Romneys supporters continue to be more enthusiastic: 69 percent say its extremely important he win, while 59 percent of those backing Obama feel that way.
Romney also leads on this metric, which will hopefully influence a lot of undecideds next week:
How is Obama even when the numbers look that rosy for his opponent? Partly because the partisan split has moved from D+1 in the last poll taken in October to D+5 in this one, which strains credulity as a prospect for election day. This is why it's so hard to make guesses based on the polls right now — even some of the ones that are in sync, like the national polls showing O inching into a tie, have obvious weaknesses that may make the results questionable.
Rove's other prediction, incidentally: At least 279 electoral votes, which jibes with Romney political director Rich Beeson telling reporters today that he thinks the campaign can win a few other midwestern states besides Ohio. Exit question: Second look at Karl Rove?
So now we're all supposed to come running back to KR just because he says something (rather late, BTW) encouraging?
Not me.
I'm lookin' more for a bit of a landslide. But that's just me I guess.
KR lives inside Sean Hannity's lunchbox.
What Rove doesn't point out is the massive over-sampling of Democrat groups in these national and state polls. If you back that out, I don't see how the Messiah breaks 47%. My take: Romney 53-46, about 330 EVs.
what time on election day will Obama Zombies take to the streets ?
Romney 51, Obama 48 is good enough!!
"Romney 51, Obama 48 is good enough"
Even to overcome voter fraud?.............That's what most worries me.
I'm thinking it is more like 53% (Romney) to 46% (Obama), and maybe 54% to 45%, with a Romney electoral college total of around 310, maybe 315.
5 day to go before Fundamental Restoration returns to America!
Rove's just being cautious. I'm seeing it 54% / 45%. With much of NY, NJ, and East PA turnout depressed, and with turnout the way it is, I predict wild gnashing of teeth on the networks by 10PM on Tuesday.
I hope Menendez loses his seat too.
lol no fraud can make up hundreds of thousands of votes. If Romney had a 1 pt or .5 lead then yea..fraud would come into play.
I would be very curious to see how his past predictions have come out. The 'toe sucker' is predicting a landslide but we know his predictions have never been correct.
Call me paranoid, I'm not taking anything for granted this election!
Me too, 52-47.
Worst Case Romney Win:
Likely Case Romney Win:
Best Case Romney Win:
" Im thinking it is more like 53% (Romney) to 46% (Obama), "
Same here.
As long as Romney wins the EC vote, I want Obama to get 47%.
I worry Rove hasnt calculated in the 10% fraud factor
Just five more days until we begin to fundamentally transform America!!!:
In your best case scenario, don't forget about Oregon. It's close there and trending Romney.
When Romney wins the margin has got to be way bigger than that, the win must be huge.
Should be more like 60-38 (2 for everyone else)
What's that I hear off in the distance?
(It's the plaintiff wail of the Rovian DoDo Bird trying to cry out for relevancy.)
Personally, I'm listening to more sensible pundits. Like Jeff Head, for example.
Your "worst case" has Romney winning Wisconsin. I think a "worst case" scenario would have Romney losing there.
Tho I think you're being too pessimistic .. but we'll know / rejoice in 5 short days !
And it'll be SOOOOOO good to see / hear no more of polls for a long while !
Will we hear a concession speech from Obama on election night even if it's obvious he's lost? What tone will it have?
I don't believe it will be that close.
Just a few more days and all the speculation ends.
That map has my mistake on it...the Washington was supposed to be Oregon...hehehe...maybe we will get both!
LOL! Love that graphic...going to post it far and wide! Outstanding!
My 26 y/o daughter has volunteered to be a poll watcher at our polling place for the first time. She's a bulldog. I am counting on her to not let anything untoward get past her. She is rabidly conservative, I am proud to say.
I agree... Except for the fact that he was very accurate in 2008. Called the Obama blowout while some here were still saying McCain would pull it out.
hard to imagine WA going against the Messiah with all the
KoolAid drinkers west of Lake Washington.
But we on the Eastside will do our part. I hope and pray that the Architect is right on this..
I would probably flip Oregon with New Mexico if looking at best case scenario. New Mexico seems unobtainable for Romney.
Which is something we've been stating here for at least a month. More likely back into August.
Not to get into nitty-gritty, but I don't think 0 can win without both PA and OH (numerically, maybe, but realistically?). Romney could, but it'll be a longer night waiting.

It has to be O47 on election day. That will show that mittens was right about the minds he would never change, and be a clear mandate.
Oh, OK : )
" (Its the plaintiff wail of the Rovian DoDo Bird trying to cry out for relevancy.)"
I'm predicting 47.0% for Obama in the popular vote.
Jeff, on your last map, the Best Scenario, you need to flip Oregon and Washington. I see Romney winning Oregon as possible, but never Washington.
Puget Sound libtards are just too numerous. Portland, OR, has mass quantities, too, but not as such a big percentage as Washington state.
Never mind my previous post then.
I think 51 to 48 includes voter fraud - without it it would be 53 to 46.
Philadelphia will be 120% for Obama this time, but that still might not be enough to save Pennsylvania for him.
blah on Rove.
Since you are a longtime Freeper I am encouraged by your optimism. Would love to share it. In a rational world, this would be a cakewalk for Romney (despite his flaws). But I'm deeply concerned!
Thinking about going to LA and finding a Korean grocery store to voluneer my services.
Have a new Burris scope on my FNAR 7.62x51mm and would love to try it out.
Have to find some 10 rd mags to make it legal.....
You leave off the 1 from Maine for Romney.
its the other way around....Rove keeps Hannity in his lunchbox, when he needs a snack (publicity).

Nuggets 112, Lakers 105January 6th, 2013, 9:04 pm by KEVIN DING, OCREGISTER.COM
The chant seemed to have been pushed into the Lakers' past when Mike D'Antoni guided the team to win six of seven games recently.
As the third consecutive loss since then was winding down Sunday night, there it was from Lakers fans at Staples Center: "We want Phil!"
The Lakers lost to the Denver Nuggets, 112-105, delivering another flimsy effort on team defense despite an energized Dwight Howard tying his career high in rebounds with 26, plus four blocks and 14 points. Howard aggravated his right shoulder strain late in the game and will undergo an MRI on Monday.
D'Antoni, the Lakers' priority in November to hire as coach over Phil Jackson, said before the game that improved transition defense and limiting second-chance points were the Lakers' top priorities: "If we just cure those two things, we're OK."
The ability of the Lakers' coach to get through to his players looked sketchy after Denver took a 34-26 lead entering the second quarter. How? The Nuggets outscored the Lakers in fast-break points, 9-0, and in second-chance points, 8-2.Read the rest of this entry »

The $211.11 rate was up 12.2% from the prior January. Revenue per available room rose even faster, growing 17.5% in a year to $174.26, second in the nation after Oahu Island, the research firm reported.

These students are passionate about hockey
January 9, 2013
While the rest of their classmates were sleeping in and going on dates over Christmas break, two Greeley high school boys were traveling across America chasing dreams they say are much more important than the customary high school events.
Northridge High School sophomore Brian Brink and Greeley West High School junior Gavin Paczosa spent their Christmas break much like they spend all their free time, playing hockey for the Tier I Elite League, AAA, U16 RoughRiders from Westminster — this time in St. Louis, Mo.
"You don't really have a social life," Gavin said. "You don't really have a high school experience."
The team is one of only 24 teams playing at the highest level a midget hockey team can play. To make the team, it takes dedication and passion for the game so intense one looks past the missed events, commitment and cost, both teens said.
We are playing with guys that will likely be in the NHL one day.
— Gavinpaczosa, Greeley West junior
"Sometimes you'd like to be there, but then you go, 'Oh, this is what I really want.' It's all worth it in the long run," Gavin said.
Five boys on the team are from as far away as Canada, living with other families during the season, which runs from September to April, to be able to play.
Brian and Gavin have been playing hockey on and off together since they were very young because Brian is a year younger than Gavin, but some years — such as this one — Brian makes the older team.
It helps having someone close by who goes through the same things, they said, because despite being sanctioned by the Colorado High School Activities Association, the sports is offered by only a handful of schools statewide. Without their hectic schedule, it would otherwise be impossible to compete for the handful of college opportunities available, as hockey in East Coast and northern states is sometimes parallel or even above football in importance.
"Everyone plays hockey in Minnesota," Gavin said with a laugh. "It is way different. We are playing with guys that will likely be in the NHL one day."
To make sure they don't fall behind in school, the league has an academic adviser who checks grades and works with players to make sure they are taking the right courses for college.
So far Brian and Gavin haven't let their hectic six-day-a-week practice and game schedules in the Denver area get in the way. Brian carries a 3.9 GPA while Gavin's is a 3.0. But they both said completing their homework takes some creativity.
Gavin finishes his in off blocks during the school day because if he doesn't, it doesn't get done.
"I do all mine in leadership class," Brian said. "It's the only time I have. When I am home, all I'm doing is sleeping."
The teens' schedule consists of meeting two northern Colorado teammates, including Windsor High School sophomore Sean O'Leary, immediately after school at Centerra to car pool to Westminster for either practice or a game. They don't get home until around 10:30 p.m.
Weekends they are on the ice or doing dry land exercises for most of the day. The only day they are supposed to have off is Monday, but even then the two said they are usually working together on something hockey related.
Brian's mother, Denise Brink, said it has been an adjustment for the family, and many of her friends and colleagues think she's nuts to put up with the expense and travel — seven out-of-state tournaments in three months this year alone — but she said it's one they have been willing to make so Brian, the oldest of three children, can follow his dreams.
"They have a passion that overrides everything else," Brink said. "Christmas and birthday gifts are hockey equipment."
Brian, a defenseman, hopes to continue playing in college, Gavin, a goaltender, has his sights set on the NHL, and for at least Gavin, this could be the make or break year. Brian will get one more year at 16s.
"This is the year where most of the scouting is done for college and junior hockey," Gavin said. "Hopefully next year, I'm playing at a higher level. I'd like to be playing either in the (Western Hockey League) or the (United States Hockey League)."
Both are major junior hockey leagues for 16- to 20-year-olds.
Most importantly, perhaps, they both said hockey has taught them to be well-rounded athletes and students.
"You can't just run and be in good shape," Brian said. "You have to skate and be in good shape and still be able to take on the physical demand of the sport. It's a lot of work, but it develops good work ethic."

– Mike Reitz, CEO
When the Affordable Care Act kicks in next year, some consumers and small businesses will find that while it delivers on care, it falls short on affordability. It's just not realistic to think that you can create a system in which every American has top-of-the-line health insurance no matter what their age or health issues, without raising costs.
So let me paint you a more realistic picture of how some of the ACA's provisions will play a part in raising health insurance rates for many.
New taxes and fees. The ACA contains eight new taxes and fees that will affect individuals, employers and health insurers. The health insurer tax alone will add an estimated $100 billion to healthcare costs nationwide over 10 years.
These new government taxes and fees will directly impact premiums and drive rates up.
New benefits, new costs. The new healthcare law mandates that all insurance plans now include a standard package of deluxe benefits. These "essential benefits" as they are called, come in 10 different categories. These extra benefits will add greater coverage and greater cost to policies. Bottom line: More benefits, more cost.
New formulas for what you pay. The ACA creates new formulas or rating systems to determine how much your health insurance policy will cost. For example, rates will no longer change due to age or health status. Under the new ACA system, older, sicker people, who use more medical services, will pay less. And younger, healthier people, who typically use fewer services, will pay more. So, now more than ever, the young and healthy will help subsidize the cost of covering older, less healthy individuals.
Given the new formulas for determining cost, the new taxes and fees and new, mandated benefits, many Americans will pay more for health insurance.
But this bitter pill might be a little easier for some Americans to swallow. In some cases, rate increases might be offset somewhat by government subsidies that will be available to individuals in certain income brackets. Some small businesses also are eligible for tax credits from the IRS to offset health insurance costs. And finally, those employers who were able to grandfather their plans should not be heavily impacted by the ACA - for the moment. Grandfathering status won't be easy to maintain over the long run.
Expanding coverage to millions of uninsured citizens is a commendable goal. But we must remember, this expansion, as designed by the ACA, comes at a cost. It is important to understand that the promise of affordability is one that the administration cannot keep for everyone. And this might be the hardest pill of all to swallow.

This is just about enough of a theory that I thought it best to put it in the Theories board instead of the main board. Recently, I've been re-reading some of the manga, and was startled by the top left panel of this:
Tobi says the Sage of the Six Paths created a sealing jutsu that has been passed down, with which he sealed the Jyuubi.
Sounds simple enough, but could that have been the same seal that was used to seal the Kyuubi into Naruto? Here's my reasoning.
As we know, the Dead Demon seal allows its user to seal something either into oneself or into someone else, but the user must pay the price with his soul.
The Dead Demon seal responsible for creating Naruto's seal, after a little tweaking, became what the Kyuubi acknowledged was the Sage's sealing jutsu:
Could the Dead Demon seal be a rudimentary version of that original sealing jutsu? When performed by someone who isn't the sage, it maybe that the user's soul has to be eaten, but what it might mean to perform it while possessing the Rinnegan. Quite frankly, I'm not even convinced the Death God summoned by the jutsu is even a living being. It seems to me to be more of an alternate dimension, one where, as its users claim, the sealed and the sealer will battle for all eternity. The Sage could have turned this dimension into the means by which he harnessed the Jyuubi's endless power.
If the Death God is actually the opening to a dimension, a number of possibilities open up. A new Rinnegan user (likely Naruto or Sasuke, I suppose) could open that dimension without dying, allowing for such things as:
-the restoration of the Kyuubi's power
-the freeing of the previous Hokages
-some badass battles involving the above
It just wouldn't make sense to have the Death God eat them up, but never poop them out, AMIRITE??
This is, by no means, a complete theory, and my pressing need to go to the bathroom prevents me from adding more right now, but it's something I'd like all your great minds to discuss.

When shopping for your family's 2013 federal health plan, even as you enter year three of a pay freeze, there are a couple of things to keep in mind.
Whichever "average" you believe, don't try to wade from Indiana to Kentucky, especially with a brick-filled backpack. It won't work out.
On September 6, this column's headline was, Health Premium Surprise, and reported despite skyrocketing medical inflation, there was a good chance the health premiums for feds, postals and retirees would be lower for 2013 than they were this year. On Thursday, the Office of Personnel Management announced that nonpostal premiums next year will be going up an average of 3.4 percent. This year the average increase was 3.8 percent.
Sponsored content: Agency managers surveyed, many unsure about data storage or how to improve it. Learn more in our next generation data center survey.
Sponsored content: Agency managers surveyed, many unsure about data storage or how to improve it. Learn more in our next generation data center survey.
The average increase in federal health premiums tends to be less in years divisible by four, when we hold our national elections. The FEHBP covers 8.2 million people and a lot of them live and vote in big electoral-vote states like California, New York, Texas and Illinois. Also in states that are up for grabs, according to many experts, but are must wins for whoever wants to win the presidency. They include Virginia, Florida, North Carolina and Ohio, which all have large numbers of federal workers and retirees.
The averages are both useful and confusing. Mostly confusing because if you are like most feds you never change plans. The vast majority stay in the same plan year after year. So unless there is a dramatic increase in premiums, people — and especially retirees — stay put.
Knowing that the average premium is going up only 3.4 percent isn't worth much if your plan is going up 6 or 8 percent.
People should also be aware there are two averages. One is what the government (which picks up more than 70 percent of the total nonpostal premium) will pay. The other is how much your share of the premium is going up — or in some cases down. While the average FEHBP premium will go up 3.4 percent in January, the average increase for nonpostal feds and retirees will be 3.7 percent. Not a deal breaker, no sleight of hand. But worth knowing.
The Sept. 6 column generated lots of comments — 56 to be exact. These were from people who took the time and trouble to sound off. To see how politically supercharged the health premium issue is to some people, click here to check out the entire range of comments when you have time.
Then sound off on this one.
Meantime, to look at your health plan choices (and new premiums) for 2013 click here. The tables show new premiums for federal workers and retirees as well as for postal workers. They also show the changes for both fee-for-service (nationwide) plans as well as for local HMOs. The benefits open season will run from November 12 to December 10.

Canned tuna took off in the United States in the early part of the last century because of — what else — El Niño. According to Slate:
The California Fish Company, which popularized canned tuna in America, originally specialized in sardines. A change in the weather in 1903, however, pushed the tiny fish out of San Pedro Bay, forcing the company to experiment with substitutes like halibut and rock cod, eventually settling on albacore.
What would a second term for President Obama mean for feds? What the Obama administration hopes to accomplish in a potential second term rests on three factors: Making sure it has the right people in place to devise and communicate the best strategy possible and who also have the skill and the will to see it through; employing the most relevant technology tactics to accomplish the goals and committing the funding resources necessary for both.
Romney's private-sector approach to government includes realigning pay, downsizing workforce It's no secret Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney envisions broad changes to the federal government and its workforce. Many of his supporters hope the former governor and business executive will bring his private-sector experience with him to the White House and run the government like a business. But what does that mean for feds?
Photos of the amazing, moving, important and amusing things happening in the federal community.

For the first time in our state's history, we elected a woman to serve as Speaker of the House. Representative Rebecca Lockhart of Provo will occupy this important position. She is joined on the leadership team by Representative Brad Dee of Ogden, Representative Greg Hughes of Draper and Representative Ronda Menlove of Garland, in Box Elder County.
I will chair the Judiciary Committee and serve on Higher Education Appropriations and the public Education Standing Committee. These are areas of personal interest and are of great importance to the citizens of Utah. Two'thirds of every dollar we budget goes to fund the education of our children. Finding the resources to adequately fund education and other necessary services will be a major challenge. For the last three years we have filled budget gaps with federal dollars. That appears less likely in the future. Fortunately, we have prepared better than about any other state in the nation. We still have some "rainy'day" savings and we have experienced modest growth during the last year. I will report more on this as we move forward.
During the early days of the session, bills are advancing in one of the two legislative bodies. Those that are successful go to the other body where they may be approved, amended or rejected. If they survive in some form, they go to the Governor. If he approves and signs, they become law. Even after this process is complete, a bill must pass a constitutional test if it is challenged in court.
The system is full of safeguards. It is far less efficient than dictatorial rule, but it protects the people and was set in place by good and wise men who cherished liberty and self rule. We shall forever stand in their debt.
Next Week, I will highlight a few bills that are beginning to make their way through the system. Some will be generally accepted, some highly controversial. Compromise will be essential, as it has been since the constitution of the United States emerged from the convention in Philadelphia in 1787.
It's a privilege to serve. I welcome your input and invite you to visit the "peoples' house" if you happen to be in Salt Lake City. Alert one of the Sergeants At Arms and they will attempt to locate me or my intern. You may also reach me at email@example.com.

Italian brand Emam? hit us with two new swimwear designs this season, and they're at opposite sides of our spectrum. One, the denim bikini, we believe to be an insult to retail. The other, the beaded denim kaftan, is actually awesome, and though it might not be the most breezy thing you can wear on the beach, it does one thing right: it covers up the vile bikini. But seriously, the detailing and strategically ripped hems work well with the bohemian cut on the kaftan. In the case of its far skinnier counterpart, we believe this: there is no point in destroying, detracting from, or otherwise deducting the surface coverage of a garment that literally only covers about 1 foot of your entire body when you finish your calculations.
None the less, both are available now at Net-A-Porter.

Cute Shoe!!!
"I finally decided to purchase these shoes after constantly coming to the site viewing them every other day. When I got them in the mail, I was really excited to see that they looked as good in person as they did on the site. I wore these on a casual day to work and received so many compliments, but there was one secrete I was hiding...the shoes were killing my feet! As cute and fashionable as they are, the shoes are really tight in the toe area and this is coming from a person with narrow feet. I would recommend buying these shoes if you are a fashion shoe lover, but stay away if you are all about comfort. As for me, I'm a fashion shoe lover!"

"I like the look of these shoes on my feet for sure! Very stylish and will stand out...however they are quite tight on the top of the foot area and are not comfortable just after trying on so I am wondering if I should go a half size up but then they would be too long. Still not sure if I will keep them yet."

So Everybody. Who wants to guess what exactly Sasuke wants to know from the Hokages, and Why do they have to be at the Uchiha hideout for it?
Sure the Hokages were witnesses and participants to history, but what could they possibly say that could enlighten Sasuke to affect his lust for Konoha's destruction?
Unfortunately I am not able to deduce what Kishimoto is up to, and I'm wondering what you guys think.

"Love my new Vans! Lots of sparkle! Laces are a really long but I tied them behind the tongue and tucked them into the sneaker which allows the tongue to stand up. Even if you lace them all the way up the laces are still too long and that only hides the tongue. That's the only reason why it got a 4 out of 5 stars. Comfy and cute!"

The Western Athletic Conference
Mass Rebuilding
by Ken Pomeroy
The term "rebuilding" gets thrown around a lot, but it's not applied, usually, to a conference. In 2008, though, the WAC is rebuilding. None of the top 11 conferences loses as many player-minutes as the WAC does, more than half. Every team in the conference loses at least two starters. Nevada's Nick Fazekas and Ramon Sessions, along with Fresno State's Dominic McGuire, were selected in the second round of the NBA draft.
At the same time, there is reason to believe the quality of the conference won't be that far off from where it was last year, when Nevada was ranked for the entire season and New Mexico State played its way into the NCAA Tournament. There are a few stars to take the place of the '07 headliners. Utah State's Jaycee Carroll and Nevada's Marcellus Kemp should get a lot of national press. Assuming he becomes eligible, New Mexico State's Herb Pope should have an impact as a freshman. The WAC may not produce an at-large quality team this season, and it almost certainly won't produce a shoo-in the likes of Nevada in '07, but whoever represents the conference in the postseason will have the chance to pull off a win or two.
The Aggies suffered the single most significant off-season loss of any WAC team when the Sacramento Kings hired head coach Reggie Theus away from Las Cruces in June. In just two seasons with the Aggies, Theus put together a case for being one of the best coaches in the country. If he should fail at the pro level, like so many others who have tried to make the college-to-pro jump have, he'll be in heavy demand for another college gig. The Theus hire was so successful that New Mexico State went back to the same well--the University of Louisville--for his replacement. Rick Pitino's top assistant and lead recruiter, Marvin Menzies, will take over the Aggies' program. Menzies inherits some talent, but more importantly a highly regarded class of newcomers, although three of them are still sorting out eligibility issues.
The most notable freshman is the 6'9" Pope. Theus was able to sign him when a handful of power conference schools were scared off by what can be described as a checkered past. After committing to NMSU, Pope was shot four times at a party near his home in Pennsylvania. He has apparently made a full recovery, but has yet to be declared eligible to play by the NCAA, which is investigating his high-school coursework. The past two seasons of New Mexico State basketball have featured a bruising offensive style relying heavily on the two-point shot and oodles of free throws. If Menzies wishes to maintain that team personality, he'll have the services of seniors Martin Iti and Hatila Passos up front. Passos actually took more shots from the free-throw line than from the field in '07, one of just four players in the country to do so while playing at least half of his team's minutes. The Aggies will also have an all-senior backcourt in Fred Peete and Justin Hawkins. Neither is much of a long-range threat, which was fine last season because the Theus system was built around attacking the basket.
Jaycee Carroll returns for his senior season after undergoing the obligatory test of his draft stock last summer. Carroll's game took a step forward last year, moving him beyond just being a three-point specialist. He's able to score off the dribble effectively and get to the line a respectable amount of the time. In addition, he grabbed about eight percent of his team's missed shots, an offensive rebounding percentage that ranked eighth among the 278 D-I players at Carroll's listed height (6'2"). Ignoring the strength of the competition (as usual, the Aggies' non-conference schedule was weak), Carroll had one of the best offensive seasons in the country in 2007. He'll be joined by three other seniors in the starting lineup-–6'2" point guard Kris Clark, 6'7" C/F Stephen DuCharme, and 6'6" forward Nick Hammer. Neither Clark nor DuCharme was very involved in the offense last season. Coach Stew Morrill has a track record of producing teams that are effective, if deliberate, offensively, so expect more of the same this year even though the Aggies enter the '08 season with a bunch of new players. Despite the fact that Carroll gets a lot of press as a sharpshooter-–he is a 45% career shooter from beyond the arc--Morrill's offense doesn't rely on long-range shooting very much.
The Wolf Pack suffers the most severe player losses of anyone in the league, in part because it had the most to lose. Nevada returns just one starter, 6'5" guard Marcellus Kemp. Considering Nick Fazekas and Ramon Sessions had their names called in the NBA Draft, it might come as a surprise that Kemp was more involved in the Nevada offense than anybody else. The concern for Nevada is that it was a team that won wth offense, its offense was almost entirely supported by three players, and two of those guys are gone. Most likely to fill the scoring void is seven-foot sophomore JaVale McGee. McGee came off the bench last season, and like everybody else on the team, stayed out of the way on offense. When he did assert himself, he made 60% of his shots and was a very good offensive rebounder. He was also the best shot blocker on the team. He'll probably see quite a few minutes alongside 7'1" senior David Ellis, who is much less skilled offensively and on the boards. The size should give Nevada some defensive presence, which is a necessity on a Mark Fox team that won't force many turnovers. If this team is going to get back to the NCAA Tournament, it'll need an improvement in its defense to compensate for the inevitable loss of offense. Replacing Fazekas' rebounding will be a necessary part of that equation, and the return of 6'9" senior Demarshay Johnson, who redshirted last season while trying to shore up his grades, could be a solution.
The formula for success at Fresno State this season is simple: find some guys who can make shots. Because Steve Cleveland's offense doesn't attack the offensive glass, it relies heavily on making shots, and Cleveland hasn't suited up too many who can do that in his first two seasons at Fresno. Thus, the Bulldogs have been relegated to WAC mediocrity. Fresno State took 48% of its shots from three-point range last season, after taking 44% of its shots from beyond the arc in Cleveland's first season at Fresno State in 2006. Ignoring Cleveland's inaugural season at BYU in 1998, his Cougars teams never took more than 35.4% of their shots from long range. A more effective offense will be the reward if Fresno State can find some balance.
The Bulldogs lose two key players from last season--6'6" Quinton Hosley and 6'8" Dominic McGuire. McGuire was one of the more unique individuals in the college game last season. He assisted on 22% of his teammates' made baskets, a rate that some point guards are unable to achieve, yet he also blocked 10% of opponent's two-point shots, ranking him 22nd in the nation. McGuire and Hosley were the team's top two scorers, but like the team as a whole, they suffered from settling for too many threes, so the offense may not miss them as much as people think it will.
Broncos basketball hasn't shared the meteoric rise of the football program since joining the WAC for the 2002 season, as Boise State has experienced just one winning campaign in its six in the league. The Broncos will rely on 6'6" forward Reggie Larry and 6'9" post Matt Nelson. Both are seniors, and both were consistent scorers and rebounders last season. There may be some questions at point guard, where the departure of Coby Karl, a four-year starter, leaves a hole. Karl was actually less involved in the offense last season than in his junior year due to the emergence of Nelson and Larry. The starter at the point will be '07 WAC freshman of the year Anthony Thomas, who has a bright future in the league based on what he did in 15 minutes per game last season.
For the first time in two decades, Hawaii has a new coach. Riley Wallace somewhat reluctantly announced his resignation last season, and longtime assistant Bobby Nash will take over. Nash will have to deal with the departure of guard Matt Lojeski, who was the team's bright spot in an otherwise dysfunctional offense. Hawaii also loses center Ahmet Gueye, who was one of the WAC's better rebounders and the anchor of a defense that was often dominant, finishing 30th in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency. Hawaii will have experience, as it will likely start five seniors. But with Lojeski gone, it's hard to imagine the offense improving very much, which means that the Warriors will likely be relegated to the middle of the WAC pack.
Six of the Bulldogs' top seven players were seniors last season. The lone returnee is 6'2" Drew Washington, who used just 13.9% of Tech's possessions in '07, so the success of Kerry Rupp's first season as head coach is going to rest on what the newcomers bring to the table. Rupp managed to secure a couple of late commitments that should have an immediate impact in 6'7" Olu Ashaolu and 6'7" DJ Wright. Both were among the best Canadian prospects in the class of '07. Rupp also has LSU transfer Magnum Rolle in the pipeline for the '09 season, so while Louisiana Tech may take its lumps this year, its future looks attractive.
The best thing going for the Spartans the last couple of seasons is that Idaho has been in the WAC. The Spartans have gone 2-24 in regular season play against the rest of the league over that time but 4-0 against the Vandals. Their last WAC road win over somebody other than Idaho was a win at Hawaii on February 15, 2003. Even though San Jose State has won just 11 games in two seasons under head coach George Nessman, its defense has been respectable. It's the offense that has caused the losses to pile up. Last season the Spartans ranked 301st nationally in three-point accuracy and 317th in two-point shooting. Only one player on the team had an eFG% of better than 46. That player, 6'9" center Menelik Barbary, was the team's leading scorer, but was also a senior.
The Vandals were asked to join the WAC two seasons ago, and have proceeded to provide most of their conference brethren with two wins each season. Idaho won two games against WAC opponents last season, including one in the WAC tourney--and both were by a single point. Even though Idaho was young in '07, head coach George Pfeifer has to deal with a lot of turnover. Among returnees, the scoring load will fall on 6'10" senior Darin Nagle. Pfeifer has stocked his roster with junior college talent to try and jump-start his program.
It remains to be seen whether all of the turnover will change the top of the WAC. Nevada has won the last three regular-season titles by multiple games each season. The loss of Fazekas and Sessions makes Nevada more beatable, but there's enough uncertainty at the top of the league for it to hold out hope of another title defense.

Cultural competency - What is it? Three members from the Carbon and Emery Domestic Violence Coalitions attended the first statewide conference for "Cultural Competency in the Delivery of Domestic Violence Services" at Snowbird, Sept. 27, to find out the answer.
What makes immigrant or refugee women vulnerable to abuse by their partners? Shirley Coyne, Paula Wellnitz, and Debbie Warrington learned some of the problems associated with meeting the needs of culturally diverse and/or physically challenged victims of abuse.
Immigrant, refugee, and physically disabled women have added burdens to bear when it comes to an abusive situation. The Justice Institute of BC summarizes some of the challenges faced by immigrant or refugee women as: "disorientation - not knowing their environment or what is expected of them, which can lead to isolation.
Dependence - women may lose their status within the family because they have to rely on their children for information or advice. Language skills - Lack of adequate verbal and/or written language skills frequently results in isolation and restriction." Lisa Welze from the International Rescue Committee related a story of a refugee wife that had been abused by her husband. She couldn't speak English so her husband acted as the interpreter for the police. The husband changed the story she gave and told police he'd been the one abused by his wife.
She was immediately taken from the home and separated from the family. Other problems faced by immigrant and refugee women include not knowing the legal system, lack of employment skills, threat of deportation, and discrimination.
Tina Johnson R. N. was a presenter at the Snowbird conference with a different perspective on abuse - that of the disabled. Tina has a debilitating form of MS that has left her partially paralyzed , she requires a feeding tube,and is in a wheelchair. She is a survivor of domestic violence and a strong advocate for the disabled with the legislature.
Johnson pointed out some of the problems of the disabled like herself trying to leave an abusive situation. She stated that she had called 52 percent of the shelters in the state to see what kind of help was available for someone in her condition. None of the shelters she called could accomodate her. She strongly urged those present to look for ways to update the present shelters and make them accessible to the disabled.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. To enlighten the community and everyone, there is a free lunch and program on Domestic Violence at the Castle Dale City Park at noon on Oct. 16 with special guest speaker Daniel Detton. On Oct. 22, from 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at the College of Eastern Utah in Price there will be a free program with lunch included. For information call 381-4730. "Cultural competency isn't merely about recognizing our differences but it is in celebrating those differences I.E. religion, skin color, or language that we find their humanity and by doing so find our own humanity." Forrest S. Cuch, Director for Utah Division of Indian Affairs.

Pretty Sandal
"The silver area on the shoes looks like metal medallions in the promotional picture. They are not. That is why I am only giving 4 stars. I am a size 8 with a very narrow heel and a wide toe area. I have a terrible time finding comfortable, stylish shoes. These were exactly what I wanted and they are quite comfortable on my always aching feet."

House of God

Rev. Thomas Fitzgerald
"Let the Christian consider well when he enters the church that he is entering another heaven. That same majesty of God which is in heaven is also in his church, and on this account the Christian must enter with reverence and awe."
An icon is a holy image which is the distinctive art form of the Orthodox Church. In actual practice the icon may be a painting of wood, on canvas, a mosaic or a fresco. Icons depict such figures as Christ, Mary the Theotokos, the saints and angels. They may also portray events from the Scriptures or the history of the Church, such as Christmas, Easter, etc. Icons occupy a very prominent place in Orthodox worship and theology. The icon is not simply decorative, inspirational, or educational. Most importantly, it signifies the presence of the individual depicted. The icon is like a window which links heaven and earth. When we worship we do so as part of the Church which includes the living and the departed. We never lost contact with those who are with the Lord in glory. This belief is expressed every time one venerates an icon or places a candle before it. Many Orthodox churches have icons not only on the iconostasion but also on the walls, ceilings, and in arches. Above the sanctuary in the apse, there is very frequently a large icon of the Theotokos and the Christ Child. The Orthodox Church believes that Mary is the human being closest to God. This very prominent icon recalls her important role in the Incarnation of the Son of God. The icon is also an image of the Church. It reminds us of our responsibility to give birth to Christ's presence in our lives. High above the church, in the ceiling or dome, is the icon of Christ the Almighty, the Pantocrator. The icon portrays the Triumphant Christ who reigns as Lord of heaven and earth. As one gazes downward, it appears as though the whole church and all of creation comes from Him. As one looks upward, there is the feeling that all things direct us to Christ the Lord. He is the "Alpha and the Omega," the beginning and the end. This is the message of Orthodoxy.
TREASURES OF ORTHODOXY is a series of pamphlets written for the non-Orthodox, especially those who are considering becoming members of the Orthodox Church and who wish to deepen their appreciation of her faith, worship and traditions. The pamphlets are authored by Fr. Thomas Fitzgerald, a faculty member of Hellenic College-Holy Cross School of Theology. The pamphlet titles are as follows:
- INTRODUCTION - Introduces the non Orthodox to Orthodox Christianity.
- HOUSE OF GOD - Describes the interior of the church building.
- WORSHIP - Discusses the form and characteristics of Orthodox worship.
- LITURGY - Describes the meaning and celebration of the Eucharist.
- SACRAMENTS - Describes the meaning and importance of liturgical life.
- SPECIAL SERVICES AND BLESSINGS - Describes the non-sacramental services which contribute to spiritual life.
- TEACHINGS - Outlines the salient points of doctrine and basic credal affirmations.
- SPIRITUALITY - Discusses the meaning of theosis as the goal of Christian life.
- HISTORY - Sketches the great epochs of Orthodoxy.
- THE CHURCH - Outlines the procedure for becoming a member of the Orthodox Church.

"I bought the Audrey Brooke Peter Sandal for a wedding that I was in. Since I waited until the last minute I did not have time to break in the shoes or try them on before the wedding day. I slipped the shoes on first thing in the morning and didn't take them off until late into the night. My feet were happy all day long. I plan on ordering another pair in a different color (I have silver)."

Pretty Sandals
"These are so pretty, and I literally received compliments on them the very first time I wore them from a total stranger. Comfortable, but not to walk around in all day. Better for wearing with a maxi dress, casual shorts or dress. They definitely work if you are trying to get away with no heels on a summer evening. More narrow of a show, which is good for me since I have a narrow foot."

"I wanted a pair of boots with the back zipper, and I am so glad I chose these! The shaft is the perfect height (hits right at my knee), love the side zip (easier when wearing thicker socks), and the back zipper is awesome! The straps and buckles really punch them up, too. I own 2 pair of Frye boots and neither fits as well or are as comfortable as these are. Love them!!"

The 3rd one, Kuszek's suggestion gets my vote.
Last edited by Kushieda; 07-31-2008 at 03:48 PM.
Does this really matter? Aren't we all subject to the will of Bluds?
And why am I not surprised Asce wants the scanlators in pink?
Troll Tagged by Uzumaki_Tim
dang it, stop voting for green..... the whole point was to remove us from green... *goes in a corner*
I shouldn't be posting
Darkgreen -1
...Why are people who aren't scanlators voting???
Also, Kuz's color is too close to the contest winner one, Blud won't use it.
♥ Ravona
Ever wonder why one of your particularly bad posts has been deleted? Feel free to contact me!
If Kuszek's color isn't chosen, then i'd say the present one is the best
I removed the 1st and 3rd colors from the poll. Red is the administrative color and blue is the contest winner color.
Anyway, the votes of non-scanlators will just not count in the overall tally. Can be done easily by human hand.
Hey Blud, if you check back here (Or a mod if you can add options) could you add in the current color as an option. If a majority of the people don't want it changed their vote should count too.

Palomino Valley Center Public Workshop
The Wild Horse and Burro Program brainstormed ideas about shade and cooling to ensure the welfare of wild horses and burros at the BLM's Palomino Valley National Wild Horse and Burro Center. The workshop was held in Reno, Nev., and as a webinar.
The BLM received additional comments from the public through August 9, 2013. The comments were evaluated and a decision was announced on August 26, 2013. The BLM completed three different shelter structures in September and UC Davis began their evaluation. Due to the cooler temps, UC Davis was unable to gather enough scientific data to help BLM make a final decision at this time.
Therefore, the BLM and UC Davis will continue to gather data and evaluate the structures during the 2014 spring/summer season. Following that evaluation, the BLM anticipates making a final decision based on the results of the new scientific evaluation.
To see photos of the structures, please click this link.
Materials from the PVC Tour and Public Workshop

On August 6, Joan Guilfoyle, Division Chief for the Wild Horse & Burro Program, welcomed the public and explained why the BLM was using a new collaborative process to increase stakeholder involvement. Presentations were provided by: Jeb Beck, Asst PVC Facility Mgr.; Dr. Rich Sanford, DVM, for PVC; and Dr. Kathryn Holcomb, PhD and Dr. Carolyn Stull, PhD, researchers from UC Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine.
