Skip to comments.Rand Paul announces 2016 campaign

8 minutes ago Rand Paul announces 2016 campaign
Posted by CNN Political Unit
(CNN) - He's running.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul announced Friday he will be on ballots in November 2016, but he told voters in his home state that they might be the only ones with a chance to vote for him.
The freshman Republican senator was returning to Kentucky from visits to a trio of states that hold sway in the presidential nominating process, visits which further stoked the speculation about his presidential interests. He indicated his intention to be on the ballot for re-election that year, but downplayed any White House ambitions.
"For now, (what) we know for sure is we're going to run for the U.S. Senate," he said, according to a report from The Independent. "The other decision can come later."
Paul posted online a link to a separate report on his appearance at the Woodford County Republican Dinner, one which did not include the quote. Both articles noted state law allows him to run simultaneously for the White House and re-election to his Senate seat.
Earlier this week he spoke at a GOP fundraising dinner in New Hampshire and before that appeared at events in Iowa and South Carolina.
He has been upfront with his interest in potentially running for the White House, but at the dinner in New Hampshire focused his attention on the party.

Keep shilling for amnesty, Rand, and that might well be the case.
Wonderful, dumbass number 1.
Do the Republicans have anybody to run in 2016? It's early but I'm getting concerned already. We cannot afford to run another stiff or a washed-up "my turn" old man like a Dole or McCain.
Shocker. /s
Title is misleading.
The field will be more conservative than in years past, and will have more powerful debaters.
I honestly think the debate cycle for our 2016 primary will be the most interesting in recent memory.
1) Sarah Palin.
2) Ted Cruz.
3) ... let's get this started.
I stay away from libertarians of any stripe.
He won't get my vote.
I certainly hope so. I guess one positive to take away from the last election is that watered-down conservatives did poorly and there were some true conservatives that won some key local races. Let's hope that the lessons have been learned for 2014 and 2016.
Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum, __________?
Jeb Bush, Chris Christi
The first four would present themselves as conservative, whether or not they are. But again, we have a possible field that would split conservative votes and allow blue state Republican primary voters to pick our candidate.
Conservatives and non-RINOs need to settle on one or two conservative candidates before the primaries, or we'll have another RINO.
Paul Ryan
Hubris. Wanton, unabashed hubris. Get yourself elected Governor of Kentucky for a term. You might be ready to run for POTUS afterwards.
Of the last crop I would vote for Bachmann, Cain, or Santorum again.
I have a suspicion that he will be like his Daddy and run every 4 years.
Some of his talk does sound pretty good, and his filibuster made waves.
He is more preferable than JebB, Christie, Rubio, Ryan.
I'll say. Very odd, given the quote from Sen Paul on which the article is based:
"For now, (what) we know for sure is we're going to run for the U.S. Senate," he said, according to a report from The Independent. "The other decision can come later."
Those are good choices, but the "retread factor" would hinder them I think.
Nah. Looking for someone who did not support Romney. In the end, they are all Republicans. Maybe a third party conservative who will restore America's economy and end world policeman role.
There is absolutely no way Sarah Palin could stand up to a debate with Ted Cruz. None.
Newt said that all illegals should go home and then be issued 'blue cards' upon their return. In between they can be fingerprinted and not allowed to vote. Check and see if those fingerprints show up at a crime scene. Furthermore a draft board-like panel of local citizens should interview each and every one. That would and should be the starting point. Anything less would be kow towing to the left.
You failed to mention that probably NO ONE could stand up to Cruz in a debate. He is that damn sharp.
Paul Ryan endorsed homo marriage a few weeks ago. He'll never get my vote under any circumstances.
No offense, but there are a number of FReepers who could, the only problem being that we'd likely end up agreeing. :-) OTOH, Sarah Palin has (to my mind) done little to correct what is quite evidently a deficient education.
I'll take that bet. :D
Either way, it's good.
That's why I left no comment........
Actually, to correct myself, it was "homo adoption," not marriage, that Ryan embraced. Just as bad, if not worse.
I am also still wondering about Cruz' eligiblity. Freepers have made compelling arguments on both sides.
It is a legitimate concern. Yet instead of elevating Cruz (he can quite evidently do that on his own), we need to be finding and elevating more like him.
Becoming a very common habit, it seems
She's a nice lady, strong, conservative and would be a wonderful President ... but she ain't gonn'a run.
Neither Sarah Palin nor Ted Cruz will get the Republican presidential nomination, although I much admire and like both.
I shall propose two R governors as possible nominees:
Bobby Jindal
Mike Pence
That's how I've always described Ron Paul.
Take your pick.......
PPP's monthly look at the 2016 Republican field for President finds essentially a 4 way tie at the top- Marco Rubio has 16%, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie 15% each, and Rand Paul 14%. Paul Ryan at 9%, Ted Cruz at 7%, Rick Santorum at 5%, Bobby Jindal at 3%, and Susana Martinez at 1% round out the potential candidates we tested.
1. Marco Rubio: 2. Chris Christie: 3. Bobby Jindal:
4. Paul Ryan: 5. Jeb Bush: 6. Rand Paul:
7. Mike Pence: 8. John Kasich: 9. Rob Portman:
10. John Thune:
Candidate Odds Chris Christie 7/1 Marco Rubio 8/1 Sarah Palin 10/1 Paul Ryan 12/1 Rand Paul 15/1 Jeb Bush 18/1 Mike Huckabee 18/1 Eric Cantor 20/1 Mike Pence 20/1 Bob McDonnell 25/1 John Kasich 28/1 John Thune 30/1 Jon Huntsman 30/1 Bobby Jindal 30/1 Luis Fortuño 35/1 Jim Demint 35/1 Scott Walker 35/1 Scott Brown 35/1 Ken Cuccinelli 40/1 Rob Portman 40/1 Rick Santorum 40/1 Tim Pawlenty 40/1 Nikki Haley 40/1 Susana Martinez 40/1 Kelly Ayote 45/1 Rick Perry 45/1 Mitch Daniels 50/1 Julian Castro 75/1 Newt Gingrich 100/1 Pat Toomey 100/1 Herman Cain 200/1 Condi Rice 500/1 Mitt Romney 500/1 Donald Trump 500/1 Field 18/1
Yup, they start strong, then they keep talking and wander wildly off the rails. (Not to mention claiming successes that don't really belong to them)
The only way the GOP will ever manage to sway me back into the fold is via Palin, Cruz, or someone strongly in that clean-government, reformer vein... someone who would be willing to actually tackle the whole corrupt system, the "professional political class," the money-drenched nexus of government-media-big business. The whole repellent cesspool. Someone that will give Karl Rove and the scumbag GOP-E nightmares.
Sounds like you're describing Rand ;)
Only knock on Rand is immigration but he will come around before the primaries. Rand will coalition build with libertarian/constitutionalist conservatives, social conservatives and fiscal conservatives. In other words, he can bring the oalition that Reagan brought together in 1980.
Rand is easily better than any of the so called "front runners" right now. Only Cruz can best him and he may not even be eligible.
Sounds as pie in the sky as moon bases in 2012. Sorry....
"The field will be more conservative than in years past, and will have more powerful debaters.
I honestly think the debate cycle for our 2016 primary will be the most interesting in recent memory."
The presidential debates will be more interesting too...providing the GOP learned its lesson re: the Candy Crowley fiasco.
Ha! Sarah can kick 0-hugging Crispy and Amnesty-loving MarcoPhone Rubio right off deck, handily.
Cruz is the reason why I am still fervent on Obama Eligibility.
If we are able to confirm Obama was foreign-born...and he is not removed by Congress or the courts...they could not do same to Cruz...legal precedent would have been set with Obama. Cruz could become President
More reason to pursue Obama's Birth Certificate
Not only Rand will have problems with his pro-Amnesty stand....a lot of his supporters were also his Dad's supporters...and they are PO'd with Rand for supporting Romney before his Dad dropped out of the '12 race.
The GOP will have to run a conservative in the primary to keep that seat....Rand will not get the support like he did his last run
I do not support amnesty, I support legal immigration and recognize that the country has been enriched by those who seek the freedom to make a life for themselves. However, millions of illegal immigrants are crossing our border without our knowledge and causing a clear threat to our national security. I want to work in the Senate to secure our border immediately. In addition, I support the creation of a border fence and increased border patrol capabilities.
Immigrants should meet the current requirements, which should be enforced and updated. I realize that subsidizing something creates more of it, and do not think the taxpayer should be forced to pay for welfare, medical care and other expenses for illegal immigrants. Once the subsidies for illegal immigration are removed, the problem will likely become far less common.
I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.
Millions crossing our border without our knowledge constitutes a clear threat to our nation's security. Instead of closing military bases at home and renting space in Europe, I am open to the construction of bases to protect our border.
Cruz stated on Hannity's show the he "would let others decide" on the subject of his eligibility. At least he is honest about the controversy unlike Rubio.
Just a couple of weeks ago you were posting, over and over again, that Ted Cruz is definitely not eligible. Do you think there's a chance he might be eligible after all?
Thanks for noticing! I think he is not. That said, I don't think our side will care so much though and will be willing to overlook his ineligibility using Obama as example. I don't think this is the right way but whatever. I don't believe that winning anything is so important that the rules should be sloughed off, even if the other side has already done it. Just my two cents.
Anyway, I predict that we will only get Rand or Cruz, not both, they are Texas Wackobird friends after all :)
I think if Cruz is it, Rand will support him right from the start and vice versa. With the current batch of GOP hopefuls we have right now, only Rand or Cruz cuts the mustard.
Which is why I won't go for Rand "Immigration Reform" Paul.

With more than 70 acres of park space as a backdrop, the Arapahoe County commissioners distributed $12 million in open-space sales tax revenues to local cities, towns and eligible special districts during the Open Spaces Shareback and Grant award ceremony, held each June.
Awards ranging from $7,000 to $5.9 million and were shared among 12 cities, towns and special districts, based on population.
"Arapahoe County is home to some of the best parks, trails and recreational areas in
the Denver metro area," Commissioner Rod Bockenfeld, who serves as board chair, said at the June 28 event. "These amenities are what make our county so special, and thanks to the open-space tax, they continue to get better each year."
The City of Centennial received $2.09 million.
"There are several neighborhood improvement projects we're looking at, many of which are with our partners such as South Suburban Parks and Rec," said Allison Wittern, city spokesperson. "Other projects we're looking at also include improvements to Centennial Center Park, as well as some trail improvements, too."
The Plains Conservation Center and West Arapahoe Conservation District received the prestigious "Our Progress Takes Flight Stewardship" award, which recognizes an individual, local government or organization demonstrating leadership, cooperation and stewardship that ensures outdoor conservation and protection.
Both were recognized for working together to protect more than 10,000 acres of rangeland along the edge of Aurora and in the West Bijou Basin through a series of land acquisitions, master planning and permanent conservation easements.
Since the program's inception in 2004, the Arapahoe County Open Space program has distributed more than $85 million, conserved more than 31,000 acres of open space, built more than 51 miles of new trails and created and enhanced neighborhood and regional parks.
Funding for projects is made possible through the voter-approved Arapahoe County open-space sales and use tax, which returns 50 percent of the annual tax revenue to incorporated cities and towns to enhance local parks, trails, recreation and open space.
During the November 2011 election, residents voted to continue the Arapahoe County Open Space program that extends the quarter-penny sales and use tax to Dec. 31, 2023.

"With the growing number of travel products on the market today, travel sites need search technology that allows visitors to find the best products quickly and easily," said Stephen Kaufer, CEO and Co-founder of TripAdvisor. "Many travel sites have rich inventory and content, but it is increasingly difficult for consumers to find the travel information and products that match their preferences. SiteSearch for Travel(TM) has an in-depth understanding of travel products, web site structure, customer travel preferences and travel search terms. This enables the product to effectively answer tough, multi-dimensional queries like `biking tours in France'."
Current search technologies typically search solely on destination or limited keywords. For example, searching on "Golfing in Arizona" on many popular travel sites returns irrelevant results or results focused on one or the other criterion--but rarely will you receive results that match both criteria. When integrated into a GDS or travel e-commerce site, TripAdvisor's SiteSearch for Travel(TM) parses the query "Golfing in Arizona" and analyzes it across multiple dimensions, such as geography (Arizona), activity (golfing), profile (the customer prefers small, luxury hotels) and popularity (what are the most popular golf courses).
For each destination suggested, TripAdvisor shows all appropriate packages/products and content available in the partner's database, ranked by popularity and relevance to a customer's profile. "Presenting customers with personalized product offerings that match their needs and preferences will increase the conversion rate of `lookers to bookers' and the profitability ratios of TripAdvisor partners," said Langley Steinert, Chairman and Co-founder of TripAdvisor.

DETROIT -- Seattle Mariners manager Eric Wedge has been talking about how his young team has to combine development with winning.
Well, the winning is starting to come.
Chone Figgins hit a two-out, tiebreaking double in the seventh inning that was misjudged by right fielder Brennan Boesch, and Seattle completed a three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers with a 5-4 victory Thursday.
"It's all about development, don't get me wrong," he said. "But part of that development, the biggest part of it, is that we're coming to the ballpark and trying to find a way to win."
|More on Mariners-Tigers
|Related links
|More MLB Coverage
Figgins' drive to right-center scored Brendan Ryan, who reached on a two-out walk from Rick Porcello (1-2).
"Just a pitch middle in. I thought I hit it real good," Figgins said. "But when I saw him coming in, I thought I didn't hit it that bad.. Good thing it worked out for us."
Justin Smoak hit a three-run homer and Miguel Olivo also connected for the Mariners, who took a 4-0 lead in the fourth before the Tigers tied it.
"They came back and we were able to counter punch," Smoak said. "That's what you've got to do."
Figgins, who has struggled early in the season, was 3 for 4 with a run and a stolen base from the leadoff spot to help Seattle reach .500 at 10-10.
"I was a little more aggressive today. And the results will bear it," Figgins said.
Wedge said the sweep especially helped the confidence of his young players.
"It makes you feel better, especially on the road, to get a sweep," Smoak said.
Miguel Cabrera hit his sixth home run for the Tigers, who have lost six of seven after a 9-3 start.
"We're not getting big hits late in the game. We're not making some plays, we're not pitching real good, we're not managing good enough, we're not coaching good enough," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "We're all involved in this together, that's just the way it is. You just gotta get aggressive and take charge and get after somebody."
Former Tigers reliever Charlie Furbush (1-1) pitched a perfect inning.
"A little different. It was fun though. Being in this ballpark after being up here for a while last year, I had some familiarity," said Furbush, who came to Seattle in the deal that sent Doug Fister to Detroit last summer. "I know the guys and know some of their tendencies as hitters. Kind of felt a little at home."
Brandon League induced Alex Avila's double-play grounder to escape a first-and-second, one-out jam in the ninth and get his seventh save in eight chances.
Mariners starter Hector Noesi, acquired from the Yankees along with Jesus Montero in the deal that sent Michael Pineda to New York, allowed four runs and five hits in five-plus innings.
Porcello gave up five runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings.
Noesi held the Tigers hitless for the first 4 1/3 innings, allowing only Delmon Young's one-out walk in the second before Don Kelly's single.
Seattle took an early lead, as it did in the first two games of the series. Smoak broke an 0-for-16 skid with a three-run homer in the first on a 2-2 pitch. The drive landed deep in the right field stands for Smoak's third home run.
Olivo homered in the fourth, his first since Sept. 9.
Ryan Raburn singled in a run in the fifth, his first RBI this year. But with runners at the corners, Gerald Laird grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Andy Dirks tripled leading off the sixth, Boesch singled and Cabrera tied it with a two-run homer that chased Noesi. Furbush retired the next three batters.
Detroit put runners at the corners with one out in the seventh before Dirks and Boesch grounded out against Lucas Luetge.
- Seattle also swept Detroit in a three-game series at Comerica Park last April 26-28.
- Laird was called out by first-base umpire Mike DiMuro on a slow roller to second base with one out in the third. Laird and Tigers manager Jim Leyland, who sprinted across the diamond, both argued the call. Replays showed Laird beat the throw.
- Detroit recalled RHP Brayan Villarreal from Triple-A Toledo and selected the contract RHP Luke Putkonen from the same team. The Tigers also optioned RHP Thad Weber to Toledo.
- Dirks returned after missing eight games with tightness in his left hamstring.
- Seattle heads to Toronto for a three-game series. The Mariners' Blake Beavan (1-2) will face Toronto's Ricky Romero (3-0) on Friday. Detroit travels to New York for a three-game series with the Yankees. AL Cy Young Award winner and MVP Justin Verlander (2-1) pitches against Ivan Nova (3-0).
- The Tigers released slumping third baseman Brandon Inge. Inge was batting .100 (2 for 20) with a home run and two RBI this season. The 34-year-old Inge is in his 12th season in the majors, all in Detroit.

Skip to comments.Bush Ten Points Down!!!
Posted on 09/04/2004 10:35:58 PM PDT by sixxiron
Nowthat the convetions are over, now that both candidates are out in "battleground" states, it is critical that we do not get over-confident in the commanding lead from our commander in cheif. I, like most of you are as bumped as I have ever been, but I am forcing myself to think of Bush as 10 POINTS DOWN! I am calling on all of you to take this stand and to work as hard as we possibly can to make sure that we close the deal on election day.
On the day after the election, when we have "come back" from this 10 point "defecit", we can all take pride in fighting to the end like a true champion. We are showing America and the world how to run a right, true, honest but fierce campaign and for this we should all be proud, but not until after election day. Let's finish this!!! Sixx
Crap! We've crossed links. That whole space-timeshare-condominium thing is going to get out of whack...McCain will win the election.
I owe you one. If you want great humor search for the latest buchanan threads. Last week on the Michael Medved show, pat buchanan stated that Islamic Extremists DO NOT pose a threat to our nation. Then to top it, it proudly proclaimed how a whole chapter of his new book is dedicated that that bit of wisdom.
Visit the buchanan threads and watch his few remaining loyal tools try to step around that unpleasant fact.
And they wonder why they make no impact whatsoever on the political process.
I am going to get real mad here in a minute
and take your side for the sake of balance,
and I have NO idea what y'all are arguing about.
His post is a good one and I'm sure he will find himself right at home here.
Hey, I mispell, sometimes, but some mispellings tend to pull at my funnybone.
Bookmark the following, and use it when you write. It's quick and easy.
And although it's good to avoid complacency, avoid stepping over the line with headlines that appear to be from the opposition. We've seen quite a few polls that showed the President to be less popular than he was. Your headline was an attention getter, but something more plain like "We're up, but avoid complacency" might have been better.
And for now, another tactic is also in order, although the one you mention is relevant. We should react to the current real polls with much published glee and smugness in order to demoralize the opposition. Most of the more casual Democrat voters will pursue more personal activities than voting on election day if they believe that their candidate will lose. It's the most powerful use of poll reports.
That is the beauty of some of these folks, you just need to wind them up then sit back and watch the show.
My message was just to you guys and the base.Who guys?
Sealawyer. Definitely.
Yo buckwheat, we're fighting the War on Terror. I know you still haven't been able to complete your holy dope crusade (ain't it a darned shame that Soros is putting so much money into the Kerry campaign instead of the dope issues) but most folks are a little more concerned with that pesky little terrorist problem.
You notice no mention of the WOT but a whole lot of anquish over the WOsD (War on "some" drugs)? Give me liberty or give me meth!
Or a pogeybait sailor I bet.
Heck, I don't know what a pogeybait sailor is.
Yeah, so in other words, you want to smoke pot.
You were a ground pounder type right?
Hmmm...I feel I may have been misled....
Hmmmmmmmm. Strange priorities there buckwheat.
This just keeps getting better. LOL!
"'innocense (sic)'"
1 definition found for innocense
From WordNet (r) 2.0 :
n : white and lavender to pale-blue flowers grow in perfect
rings of widely spaced bands around the stems forming a
kind of pagoda; California [syn: purple chinese houses,
Collinsia bicolor, Collinsia heterophylla]
Context defies your definition. Next...
Our nation is facing perhaps the most decisive vote in the last 60 years. Not the least to that election is the War on Terror and the face of the Supreme Court for the next 10 or 20 years.
Florida is currently being hammered by the second Hurricane and Tropical Storm Ivan is building up and could follow.
The we have a slaughter in Russia, freedom for Iraq and other serious issues to think about.
Sometimes it's relaxing to just kick back and have some fun.
Not at all. Pogeybait doesn't imply you're gay, you can vote so you're obvious not a child by legal definition...the rest stands on it's own merit.
Of course I do, I already said you weren't gay, or legally a child, I didn't disagree with your claim to being an idiot! I support your right to be an idiot and to openly declare yourself.
I like it...when munchies strike!
The narrowness of Bush's 2000 victory gave the 'Rats their rationale for bashing him blatantly for the last four years. We need a clear landslide this year if we hope to get some good judges appointed, progress on an energy policy, and get a sharp drop in the amount of aid and comfort to our enemies that is emanating from DC.
Of course the words are pointless. We're having fun playing with a quasi-troll who thinks he's delivering an argument in front of the Supreme Court.

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our Principal Horn player, Joan Watson, on Thursday, March 12. Joan was a mainstay of the COC Orchestra for over 20 years, bringing her immense talent and indomitable spirit not only to the orchestra, but to the company as a whole. Her fortitude and strength was visible to the very end, even playing the first rehearsal for the company's performances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music earlier this month. Unfortunately, she was unable to participate in the tour. All of us at the COC offer our condolences to her husband, COC tuba player Scott Irvine, her family, and her many friends and colleagues. She will be greatly missed.
"Joan's sudden passing is a great shock and loss for all of us. It is hard to imagine, that she won't be sitting in the Principal Horn chair any more - a chair she gave special distinction and authority to. She was a great force full of energy. Her passion for everything she was doing was exemplary. Interested in passing on her vast experience to the next generations, made her a highly estimated mentor and motivator for so many young musicians. It was her idea to bring our own COC Orchestra Academy into being. Until the very end of her life she was working on that project committedly. We hope that this project will further grow and blossom, giving us all an opportunity to keep her memory alive." — Johannes Debus, COC Music Director

The last time the Jeffco Public Library saw a tax increase, the Internet was still a gleam in Al Gore's eye. Nor had DVDs been invented. E-books? Forget it. "Portable" computers that didn't result in a hernia? Surely you jest.
In fact, the last time our library saw a boost in taxpayer support was some 29 years ago, and since then in Jefferson County, demand for services that the library offers has exploded:
• The county's population has grown by 130,000 people.
House District 25, with Evergreen and Conifer at its center, has long been distinguished by distinguished representatives at the state Capitol.
From John Witwer to his son Rob, and to the current incumbent, Cheri Gerou, our district has enjoyed more than a decade of dedicated, thoughtful and reasoned representation in the state House.
But while the Witwers and Gerou are Republicans, the Courier would like to strongly recommend that voters in the November election send Democrat Janet Doyle of Evergreen to the legislature.
By Jeffco Sheriff Ted Mink
As my term in office approaches its final days, I'm experiencing a great deal of personal reflection. I'm sure everyone goes through a similar process of recounting how they reacted to a situation or event, sorting out in their mind if they could have done something different — while recalling the successes and failures along the way.
Olli Maatta, a 20-year-old hockey player from Finland, was living the dream. A year ago, he broke into the Pittsburgh Penguins' lineup as a teenager and became one of their regular defensemen, and he was widely recognized as being among the National Hockey League's top rookies.
Maybe they just got tired of being called the new conservative majority.
How else can you explain school board members Ken Witt, John Newkirk and Julie Williams voting to pay, including performance incentives, new superintendent Daniel McMinimee almost 40 percent more than his predecessor and to give him a five-year contract despite the fact that he's never been a superintendent before? The decision doesn't meet any definition of conservative I've ever heard.
Six hundred and forty-three thousand. That's more than half a million.
And those are more than enough reasons that two longtime incumbents on the board of the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District should be challenged aggressively in this May's election.
Zero is another number of note in this disturbing saga: That's the number of non-incumbents who had filed to run, as of Tuesday, for the four board seats up for election.
The flooding that hit Evergreen and parts of Jefferson and Clear Creek counties on Friday the 13th in September presented our four newspapers with the same challenge we face on a daily basis: Trying to cover stories that often overwhelm our resources in their scope and impact.
An early giant in the journalism trade was fond of saying that practically every political story boils down to two issues: conflict and cash.
And while our members of Congress continue to clash over cash, the Jeffco school district is cramming our news columns with conflict, both ideological and, now, physical.
The months-long controversy over the district's plan to test the inBloom system for storing student information boiled over last week when shoving broke out between a resident and two district staff members at a school board meeting.
Six years ago two members of the Evergreen Fire Protection District board were recalled in an election that divided the community and left bad feelings all around. Their opponents charged that they were unresponsive to the community.
Today, four members of the EFPD board face a recall election April 23, engineered by opponents of the district's intention to construct a training building at Station 2 in Bergen Park. The board members' detractors charge that they have been unresponsive to the community.

Huntington City held a special public hearing and special meeting to discuss and possibly adopt the water and sewer rate structure. When Mayor Jackie Wilson opened the meeting, the first item was to clarify and amend the May 27 meeting minutes. The correction was deemed necessary following the review of the tapes of the meeting.
The proposed ordinance, which the mayor and council members had reworked, was presented and read to those attending the hearing.
The changes included the same overage rate and fee schedule as for private houses.
As the property owners listened to the new proposals of the council, many remarked that the council and property owners are not that far apart.
Sharon Earl, trailer park owner, explained to the council that she had met with Darrel Leamaster of the Castle Valley Special Service. Leamaster had explained to her that of the $10 that Huntington City bills the water users, the special service district receives $6.75. The other $3.25 is retained by the city for the administrative costs of handling the billing. Earl stated that for the trailer park, one bill is sent, so in all fairness, the $3.25 that the city is charging per occupied unit in a trailer park is not right.
Earl read the state statute with regards to occupied trailer park spaces and utility billings. The statute says that a municipality may not profit from the billing of utilities. She stated that $3.25 per occupied unit is remaining in the city coffers which is against the statute.
Huntington City council members discussed several options with the trailer park owners concerning the billing and the process for accounting for occupied spaces in each park every month. The approval was made to charge the owners of the parks $10 for the first residence and $7 for the remaining occupied spaces in each park. This amount reflects the removal of the administrative fees as each park is issued only one bill for the entire park.
Following the public hearing, the council met in a special meeting and approved the acceptance of the resolution amending Huntington City's monthly water and sewer service fees.

Bath put in an impressive performance as they overcame West Country rivals Gloucester 31-25 at the Recreation Ground on Friday.
Bath put in a strong performance as they overcame West Country rivals Gloucester 31-25 at the Rec on Friday.
The home side got off to a flying start as an early Tom Heathcote penalty was swiftly followed by a penalty try when Charlie Sharples tugged back Tom Biggs just as it looked like he was in a position to touch the ball down.
It turned out to be a double blow for the Cherry and Whites as well as Sharples was sent to the sin-bin. But they didn't let that faze them and they halved the deficit before they were back to their full complement as Henry Trinder charged down Nick Abendanon's kick and picked the ball up off his toes to dot it down.
And the visitors took the lead midway through the first-half as Freddie Burns and Trinder laid the ball on a plate for Jonny May to score in the corner and Burns slotted over the conversion from the left-hand touchline.
The game continued to swing back and forth though and Bath stormed back into the match as Heathcote knocked over a penalty before bursting through a couple of tackles and finding Kyle Eastmond on his shoulder to finish the move off.
Rob Cook, who took over the kicking duties from Burns after several misses, and Heathcote then kicked two penalties apiece to leave the game finely poised as the second half developed.
Gloucester's task looked to have been made almost impossible on 50 minutes as Darren Dawidiuk was given a straight red card for a dangerous tip tackle but a yellow for Carl Fearns not long afterwards made it 14-a-side for a 10-minute spell.
The match looked to be over moments later as slick handling from Eastmond and Abendanon put Biggs in the left-hand corner for the killer try but Gloucester responded admirably.
Cook outpaced Rob Webber with ease wide on the left-hand side and gave May the opportunity to score his second of the evening and set up a tense finish to the game that had not looked likely when Dawidiuk was sent off.
And the Cherry and Whites battled bravely until the end but Bath held on with the benefit of the extra man to move to within three points of their near neighbours in the Aviva Premiership table.
The scorers:
For Bath:
Tries: Penalty, Eastmond, Biggs
Con: Heathcote 2
Pen: Heathcote 4
Yellow: Fearns (58 mins)
For Gloucester:
Tries: Trinder, May 2
Con: Burns, Cook

Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Will Spencer, 20 Mat Gilbert, 21 Michael Claassens, 22 Sam Vesty, 23 Semsea Rokoduguni.

Program in Studio Arts
In the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Rochester, the studio arts program focuses on the production aspects of visual studies. Our program is focused on contemporary approaches to art production; it strives to produce technically adept students with an understanding of art's place in culture.
The program is housed in the Sage Art Center, a place where art is produced, analyzed, and exhibited; it provides access to all the materials, supportive resources, faculty and staff necessary for a rich studio experience.
Program Highlights
- We recognize that liberal arts students have a wide range of experience and interests. We invite, accommodate, and engage experienced artists as well as individuals with little or no previous art experience; at the same time, we provide a rich environment for thoroughly intensive study.
- Studio art majors are vital participants in the activities of the department and the art community in general. Majors are expected to establish a presence at Sage Art Center that promotes an environment conducive to rich, creative art production. By the senior year majors should be seen as valuable resources for the students in all introductory level courses.
- Any material or approach is possible. While our introductory level courses provide a foundation built on more prevalent art media—such as photography, painting, sculpture, video, collage, and drawing—the advanced level courses make available the experimental and interdisciplinary approaches often used in contemporary art production.
- Off-campus study opportunities are available for majors and non-majors alike. The Art New York program provides students with the opportunity to live and learn in New York City. A semester of internships and coursework in this culturally rich environment is structured for any individual who wishes to enhance his/her knowledge of the world of contemporary art and culture with firsthand experience.
- You can also study abroad during a fall or spring semester in the University's European Arts Internship program which is also encouraged for majors and non-majors alike. In Europe, there are opportunities to work in institutions, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum of London, and internships can be arranged in Paris, Brussels, Bonn, and Madrid.

Great Sandal
"Love this sandal. Love it so much I got them in black and brown. Provides a great balance between dressy and casual but not too casual, which I sometimes feel happens your regular open toe sandal. Gotten many compliments wearing these because they're cute and simple, but not boring. Yet at the same time, they're unique in its own way. Not much support, if any, in the arch, so if that's a concern for you, probably avoid."

Last night after the trade show madness, DT took to the skies (or at least, close to the sky) for ENK & William Rast's rooftop after party at the Dream Downtown Hotel. As waitresses in back and gray dresses fluttered around with cocktails and smoked salmon/avocado sandwhiches (yum), guests snapped photos and talked style against a backdrop of sunset & skyline. We saw cut-off shorts, a denim cocktail dress, and incredible dapper denim styles Feast your eyes!

|In response to Re: septic tanks & drainfeilds
: do you believe in the over the counter products for slow draining, or restoring your drainfeild. please reply asap, having a problem. thank you
I am not an expert in this field but have been recently faced with a similar problem. A drain expert told me that he had rooted out many of them but had never had good results in doing so. He further proposed installing a new drain field material which had been used in other parts of the US but was just recently approved in certain counties of California. It is a "crown" shaped pvc material which when completed is about 4 times as efficient as the old rock and drain pipe system. I have just posted a request for more information on this material via this service. I will contact you when I find out further info. Cordially firstname.lastname@example.com

A comforter is a decorative top layer that usually comes with coordinating pillow shams or accent pillows. Comforters are filled with layers of material, often polyester batting, cotton batting or feathers. The comforter is stitched to keep the filling in place and evenly distributed. The thickness of the filling material determines the weight and the warmth of the comforter.
Duvet & Duvet Cover
Duvets are filled with layers of material. A common fill is down feathers, but other options are polyester batting or wool. Duvets are commonly plain white and are used as inserts for a colored or patterned duvet cover. Duvet covers are decorative and protect the duvet from stains and spills. Duvets are usually sold separately from the duvet cover. If you change bedding for the season or you like to change up your style, a duvet and duvet cover may be a great fit for you.
Quilts are commonly made with three layers: a top and bottom layer of woven fabric with batting in the middle. The three layers are stitched together in a decorative pattern. The top layer of quilts is usually constructed from many different fabrics, while a single piece of fabric is used for the bottom layer. Quilts can also be used as throw blankets and/or hung on walls as decorations.
Coverlets are lightweight bedding that can be used as a decorative layer over thicker or warmer bedspreads. Coverlets with a thin layer of batting make them warm enough to use on their own. They are usually quilted with a stitching technique that creates ornate patterns, such as geometric or floral designs. Often, coverlets are sold with coordinating shams.
Blankets are usually made of one or two layers of fabric with no fill or batting between the layers. They are usually made to fit the bed.
Throws are usually made of one or two layers of fabric with no fill or batting between the layers. They are used on sofas and beds for decoration and warmth. Many throws have decorative trim, such as fringe or bound edges. Measurements are usually 60" x 50" but can certainly vary.

My, doesn't Kristen Stewart look all grown up these days? Well, she certainly looks it on the November issue of Glamour Magazine, which hits newsstands on October 11. Wearing a striped Bottega Veneta top and Current/Elliott jeans, Twi-hards are certain to sink their teeth into this issue. Believe it or not, Kristen (aka KStew) and her co-star Taylor Lautner are actual Twilight Saga fans: "It's fun to watch with him because we actually sit and watch it. Me and Taylor are actual Twilight fans, so we can sit there and be totally into it! Whereas I sit there with Rob [Pattinson]…he likes it, but he has just such a different energy."

Jim Baron brought Canisius College basketball back to life this season. Now we'll see if the revival continues into the post season.
The Griffs are the fifth seed in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament and will meet fourth seed Iona in a quarterfinal matchup Saturday at 4:30 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Canisius is 18-12 overall, the most wins for the program since the 2000-2001 season.
The Griffs went 11-7 in MAAC equaling the most league wins for Canisius since the conference went to an 18 game schedule 15 years ago.
But this group hasn't experienced any success in the MAAC tournament and that is a concern of Baron's.
Canisius is led by Billy Baron(son of the coach), who earlier this week became the first Griff to be named First Team All MAAC since Darren Fenn in 2000. Baron leads the team in scoring and is fifth in the MAAC, averaging 16 points a game. The junior guard leads the league in assists.
Senior guard Harold Washington, who was named Third Team All MAAC, is second in scoring at 13 points a game and is second in the conference in three point shooting, hitting on 41% of his shots beyond the arc.
The Gaels are 17-13 overall and like Canisius, recorded an 11-7 league finish. Iona is one of the most explosive teams in the country. The Gaels average 81 points a game, third best in division one.
Their star player is senior guard Lamont Jones, who began his career at the University of Arizona and transferred to Iona two two years ago. Jones' 23 points a game tops the MAAC and is third best in the nation.
The teams split the season series with Iona prevailing 97-87 back on January 13th in New Rochelle. Canisius came out on top 77-74 at the Koessler Center on February 2nd.
The winner of the Canisius-Iona game will play in the semifinals on Sunday afternoon against either Niagara, Marist or Siena. Niagara is the top seed and awaits the winner of the Marist-Siena pre-quarterfinal game.
The Purple Eagles, who were picked to finish fifth in the pre-season poll, won the league for the first time since 2005, with a 13-5 record.
Niagara is led by a pair of super sophomores and both Juan'ya Green and Antoine Mason were named First Team ALL-MAAC earlier this week. Green was third in the MAAC in scoring, averaging 17 points a game. The Philadelphia native was second in the league in assists, and third in steals. Green rarely left the court as he averaged 37.8 minutes a game, fourth most in the country.
Mason was second in the MAAC in scoring with an average of 18 points a game. He and Green were the only sophomores on the first team and they're just the second duo at NU to make first team in the same season.
Niagara hasn't advanced all the way to the championship game since 2009 and they last won the tournament in 2007.
The Purple Eagles swept the season series from both possible quarterfinal opponents. Niagara beat Marist at home 94-72 and in Poughkeepsie 57-54 in a game where Mason was sidelined by an injury.
NU trounced Siena at the Gallagher Center 87-64 and were victorious in Albany 78-69.
You can listen to Niagara's quarterfinal matchup Saturday at 2:30 on WGR.

Are Printers Investing in Professional Services?
Published: February 13, 2017
Pat McGrew, Director of Production Workflow at InfoTrends, discusses recent InfoTrends research that reveals that printers are not so willing to pay for Professional Services, but rather, expect the vendor to support them with services as part of the purchase. The fact that vendors see services as a growth area reflects a disconnect that will be important to watch play out. She provides advice to both parties.

In an October 7, 2010 letter, CFP Board provided the IRS with comments on proposed modifications to regulations governing practice before the IRS. CFP Board applauded the IRS proposal to hold all tax return preparers meet strict ethical guidelines and suggested that the IRS should tailor the continuing education requirements to ensure competency of registered tax return preparers while providing flexibility in meeting those requirements. Finally, CFP Board urged the IRS to exempt CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals from the competency testing and continuing education requirements established for registered tax return preparers, given the substantial income tax-related education and examination required to attain and maintain CFP® certification.
