Skip to comments.Low GOP Turnout Keeps California in Democratic Hands
Posted on 11/15/2010 6:56:02 PM PST by Korah
On Tuesday, November 2, voters across the country turned out in droves to give Republicans control of the House of Representatives GOP wins in the U.S. Senate trimmed the Democratic majority, and over 675 State legislative seats were taken from Democrats nationwide. So historic was the win that the Minnesota Senate will be run by Republicans for the first time in that state's history, and Alabama will be in GOP hands for the first time since reconstruction.
But what happened to California?
Are Californians really so liberal that they would elect a man who was once known as "Governor Moonbeam" back into the highest position in the state? Is Barbara "Don't call me Ma'am" Boxer so revered that she would win as easily as she did?
The results in California left many across the country scratching their heads wondering what happened in the Golden State. Was it something in the water? Was it negative advertising?
A careful analysis of numbers from the California Secretary States office may reveal the true reason California remains in Democratic control.
(Excerpt) Read more at ChicoER
Well yesterday when I went to the Doctor, I found out that the my Doctor's Secretary did not vote. darn it, she goes to my Church even. Well I gave her a piece of my mind.
Then this a afternoon I was talking to my neighbor and she told me that she and her husband forgot to vote. Forgot?
Well I gave her a piece of my mind also, because just a Month ago I was standing out front talking with both her and her husband about the election. They told me they are Republican and that they agreed with me about everything and that they couldn't wait to vote Boxer out.
Her husband even told me that he remembered when Jerry Brown was governor and that he could not stand the idea of him being elected again.
Then I read this article, and now I am real angry. What is it about Republicans in Ca? Why would any republican not vote?
There aren't enough Republicans in California to win elections without unaffiliated voters. Most of the unaffiliated in the state lean to the left in one way or another.
Low GOP turnout equals voter fraud
Looking at the Secretary of State numbers there are more than enough Republicans that they should have won if they just voted
Instead of the usual dem trick of producing votes out of thin air (and cemeteries) maybe they figured out a way to disappear a bunch of republican votes.
I saw a story earlier today about Connecticut that made me think of this.
There shouldn't have been any area where Republicans were not enthusiastic to get out and vote. Even if you didn't like the GOP candidate in Cali the chance to bounce Boxer should have brought republicans out in droves.
The major shift in votes in seniors should have helped as well.
I am hoping some sharp Freepers can dig in to it.
The GOP missed a good opportunity in California. 86,000 of the commie 'RATS from over there were in Arizona casting "provisional" ballots for the "medicinal" marijuana crowd.
When the choice is to vote for a liberal with an R behind their name or a liberal with a D behind their name whats the point.
California is the only state that had no Democrat incumbent lose. Every other state had Democrats losing all the way down to the city levels. Ca is the only one that did not.
As I said, I know three registered Republicans WHO did not vote!
Where is the voter fraud there?
They were lazy, and so they did not vote. Multiply that by all of Ca, and this article is correct. Republicans did not vote!
What is it about Republicans in Ca? Why would any republican not vote?
You said it in the first sentence. If I were a Californian I wouldn't have bothered to vote for Carly Fiorina or Meg Whitman either. Party loyalty is hardly the bottom line for evaluation of the principles, character, and competence of a candidate.
Thus the Tea Party.
There are two million more registered Dems than Pubs in CA. That's a hard margin to overcome.
This is what happens when the GOP Leadership is Democrat-Lite and the candidate at the top of the ticket is only slighly GOP
Why vote for the faux Democrat when you can have the real thing?
THe failed logic driving the Pete Wilson wing of the CA GOP will continue to drive the GOP into the ground here until some conservative(s) wrest control of the party back where it belongs.
A Pox on them all!
I know many will claim that the candidates the Republican party had were not all that great. I would agree with that, well except for Carly Fiorina. But to not vote is to vote for a Democrat.So where did I say what you say I did?
It's unbelievable how Reagan won in 1966. Did he charm the electorate or did all of the "good people" in CA leave the state?
Republicans who did not vote, just ended up helping the Democrats win. All those who did not vote should not complain.
1. The party establishment is run by the libs. It doesn't promote or support conservative candidates. This drives down conservative turnout in the primaries.
2. Because of (1), both of the party's candidates at the top of the ticket were the more liberal of the two top contenders. This reduces the difference between the party candidates and leads to voter indifference.
3. Because of gerrymandering congressional and state legislative races are uniformly non-competitive. If you are in a democratic district, the democrat wins. If you are in a republican district, the republican wins - usually with 70% of the vote. This doesn't exactly encourage high turnout or grass roots participation and both parties are equally guilty of working to protect "their" safe seats.
4. As a result of all of the above, a lot of conservatives have just given up on the republican party. Between Whitman and Brown for instance you had two liberals running against one another. I used to be a solid Republican voter. This time I ended up splitting my vote about equally between the republicans, the libertarians and the AIP. If the Republicans want my vote they'll have to run candidates who don't turn my conservative stomach.
But Jerry brown was OK for you because you voted for him by not voting for Meg.
Now what was your reason for not voting for Fiorina?
Then what about Damnon Dunn? He is a Christian Conservative I know because I met him and he never talked like a lib.
Actually did vote for her but not Meg. I do believe Carley would have gone into the McCain Gramnisty camp once she got there though.
And your right she was pro life vs the abortionist loving boxer
Republicans who did not vote, just ended up helping the Democrats win. All those who did not vote should not complain.
Whats to complain about? After Arnold put the smell of feces on "R" in the state might as well go for the real thing.
And he was such a darling of the "R" establishment.... wanted to modify the constitution they did so he could run for prez.
Most of the land mass of CA is not liberal but the high vote blocks are in LA, SF, Sac, Mt View etc..where the larger populations are.

Since they say my "Text entered was wrong", I'll post it here instead:
The problem may be at least in part something else entirely different than voter apathy. We moved out of California in part because of the blatant vote fraud which happened to us in a previous election.
After years of voting without incident, the polling place was changed for our voting precinct. When I arrived to vote and presented my same voter registration card and California driver's license that had beeen valid for a number of previous years and elections, the poll officials very rudely denied me the right to vote and threatened me with police arrest by the Sheriff's Deputies if I did not immediately leave the polling place. They did all of this without giving me any chance to speak or even react with anything but momentary confusion about what was taking place.
As I walked out of the back porch where the polling booths were setup, I stopped as I walked by the garage door where the computer printout was posted for the public to view with all of the names and addresses of voters registered to vote at this precinct polling place. In all of the previous elections my name and address appeared on this report. For this election, my name and address as a registered voter was missing. In their place, however, were the names of illegal aliens registered as voters at my home's address.
How do I know they were illegal aliens? Some months prior to the election, the California Department of Motor Vehicles mailed letters to my address, and they were addressed to the same Hispanic names which appeared in place of my name on the registered voters list months later. The DMV used window envelopes for these letters, and you could not help but see that the contents were California driver's licenses issuedd to Hispanics using my private home's address as their legal address. Since they certainly did not live at my address or in my home, I tried to report the violations of the law to the law enforcement officers.
As I attempted to report the illegal activity, my telephone calls were transferred from one office to the next, often with the government worker expressing hostility at my attempting to report my complaints. The California Department of Motor Vehicles denied having any jurisdiction. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department denied having any responsibility and referred me to the district attorney, but they did suggest they might want to investigate me for tampering with the U.S. Mail. The district attorney denied having any responsibility and said to contact the California Attorney General. The California Attorney General's representative was scathingly hostile, refused to help me report the illegal activity, and once again suggested they might be interested in pursuing some kind of legal action against me for opening someone else's mail. They slammed the phone down before giving me any opportunity to respond with the explanation that the letters remained unopened and had not been tampered with by anyone.
After being unlawfully denied the right to vote while fictitious voters were allowed to cast ballots in the election, I once again made the rounds of attempting to report the vote fraud and make my complaints. Once again every office from the voting authorities to the California Attorney General's office refused to take a report of the crimes and attempted to intimidate me with suggestions I could be investigated and arrested for interfering with the criminal activity I was trying to report.
My problems are not at all unique in California. When talking with other people, they described their own experiences with vote fraud. The Republican Party in Orange County has complained about vote fraud in their county for decades and filed a number of lawsuits. Even when they managed to get a favorable verdict, the Democrats on the Appellate courts overturned the case/s on controvrsial technicalities they claimed existed.
In other states around the nation we have seen convictions and reports of massive vote fraud being commiitted by the Democratic Party's members and/or supporters too numerous to detail here. Among the vote frauds being reported have been the destruction of absentee ballots and vote by mail ballots that favored candidates other than the Democratic Party candidate. Especially repugnant has been the extensive efforts of the Democratic Party to invalidate absentee ballots and deny the right to vote for the men and women serving in the armed services overseas in combat and here in the United States. You really have to wonder just how many California voters were denied the right to vote or had their votes unlawfully invalidated and destroyed to commit vote fraud on behaldf of the Democratic Party's candidates? Were many of their votes not counted because of vote fraud? It happened to me.
I hate to state the obvious but having lived in many california locals, one can only conclude that the bulk of californians are simply gut wrenchingly STUPID.
Inhabitants have done everything possible to destroy their own state. There is nothing - no business, no landmark, no institution - nothing worth saving. Any sane individual should jump to the eastern side of the San Andreas. Split the west side off and give it to China in return for our debt.
"California is the only state that had no Democrat incumbent lose. Every other state had Democrats losing all the way down to the city levels. Ca is the only one that did not."
Wrong, Mass. reelected all their imcumbents. Mass is another brain dead state.
The Gop voter was too busy employing workers and not growing marijuana to sell to other liberals.
The base of the voters hat have kep the Gop going have been crapped on spiton, and then told they are the problem.. and then you slam those same folks here..
a couple comments down thread make you sound like others who were here chastising anyone here that didn't support the moderates that ended up as the candidates and got their clocks cleaned everytime..
nothing new.. most of us have clothes pins and voted for the ones we were sold and are not the ones you need to be challenging here.. aRnie didn't need my vote and he didn't get it, ever.. Meg and Carly don;t have TEA party bone in their bodies, so what do the party faithful do? pick them over conservatives, in the primaries, like I said nothing new.
Oh, and did I forget to mention the CaGoP leadership is a bunch of losers, losers with connections to the 19th hole country club elites.. they saw the TEA party coming and turned their backs on them, much as the ational leadership, concidence?
The California GOP needs to learn the lesson or keep suffer the same outcome over and over again. Repubicans gave Rino Arnie a chance and he was just as bad as any other flaming socialist in the State.
Mealy mouth, liberal Rinos are not inspiring voters. Either stand up to the Left or sit down and don't waste the time and money. The GOP effictiveness of urging people to vote for the lessor of two evils is gone. Evil is Evil when it comes to killing the middle class and freedom.
No, improbably high Democrat turn-out equals voter fraud (logically). This sounds more like Republicans are dispirited and psychologically beaten-down. Not surprising, given the venue.
And what about the other 100 issues a Senator deals with?
Carly was not a conservative when you look at the total package. Carly bragged about favoring the repeal of DADT, was pro-amnesty, pro-DREAM Act, pro-green energy and "green jobs", talked of more regulation and meddling by the feds, would not renounce global warming and touted cap and trade during the presidential election. She said she was pro-life but would not consider it a litmus test for judges and was for states rights -- and that California had already decided that it favored abortion so she would respect their wishes. The same for offshore drilling: she supported it but since the people didn't want it, she wouldn't fight for it. Anti-tax? Not really. She wanted more handouts for big business (see her plan for "special economic zones".) The list goes on.....
Carly ran TV ads saying how she would oppose Republicans "when they were wrong" (see issues above). Her ads trying to paint Boxer as arrogant exemplified her own arrogance. Is Boxer worse? Sure! But Carly certainly did not give folks much to vote FOR.
The campaign hacks who ran botched campaigns are reiterating the mantra of California being a Blue State, how the demographics will never allow a conservative (or Republican) to get elected, if only more "moderate" candidates ran (and on and on, ad infinitum). Well of course they will say that - how else can they excuse their miserable performance in terms of candidates and the campaigns they ran. Mike Murphy was the worst -- he tries to blame his own incompetence on everything but himself.
Look at the numbers -- people say that the Dems have a higher registration (true) therefore the GOP should move leftward. They use this to justify forever chasing the non-existent "middle" and completely ignoring that three-fifths to one-half of the electorate didn't even bother to show up and vote. Conservatives won't get excited about electing liberals, even when they put an R next to their name. And why would Democrats vote for a Republican when they have a liberal in their own party to vote for?
But year after year, the idiots "leading" our state party give us the same non-choice choices. Which makes me believe they are not "idiots" at all, but utterly corrupt at the core.
Ping to above post
>> This is what happens when ...
The GOP voters in CA and AZ are getting too many excuses for their absurd choices and inaction.
I hope Californians enjoy 6 years of Boxer while they wait for the perfect conservative. The time to pick the perfect conservative was during the GOP primary.
Think what you will of human behavior - but it is what it is. Give people something to vote for and they will.
And nobody is talking "perfection." That sounds like the same tired line from the incompetent "moderate" leaders.
The polls, right up to election eve, had most every significant statewide race within 4 points, many with the Republican leading. Then on election day we lose every one of these races by ten points. Bullshit!!
Until illegals are marched out of this state back to where they came from, the state will be hopelessly democrat/socialist.
Won't matter to me much longer, cause the 'missus' and I are starting to make our plans to exit.
With prop 32 (greenhouse gas initiative), and newly passed props that allow state legislature to raise taxes with simple majority vs. 2/3 previously required, this state is doomed!! The next four years will show the rest of the nation what one-party rule looks like. $25 billion in the red will quickly grow to $40 billion while the state looks for federal bailouts again and again.
Simple economics says you can't drive away business after business while growing government services year after year. Jerry Brown campaigned to the right of Ronald Reagan. Let's see how 'Moonbeam' governs. All too soon we will be saying,
Adios muchachos...
You have it wrong on the latter. The 2/3 requirement to raise taxes is intact. What was dumped was the 2/3 requirement to pass a budget.
On the other hand, I suppose, with one-party rule, the legislature and/or the Governor will find many 'creative' ways to increase taxes anyway.
How'd that work out for Lt. Governor McClintock? Oh right.
However flawed the candidates, this election I voted straight ticket Republican. As demonstrated up thread, there are enough GOP registered voters to have won the day against Boxer, even Brown. They chose to stay home.
Where have you been? "Fees" have just been grouped with taxes as requiring a 2/3 vote as well. What scares me is that they will go to "fines" instead. Those could become an outrage (they already are on matters related to "the environment").
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a lot of those Registered Republican voters who didn't vote had already moved out of the State.
That's the long and the short of it.
Sadly, people don't really understand this. It's easier to chalk California off as a "red state" (I'll never buy into the idea the Democrats are true blue). California is temporarily a red state.
Our candidates don't provide an alternative message compared to the left, and can't grasp why the Left rejects them.
A man that is offered a Coke and a cola, will most often choose Coke. If you want them to choose an alternative in large numbers, you provide an orange drink or Seven-up.
I'm sick and tired of being asked to vote for generic colas.
All of the most Conservative people I know voted 3rd party - not Republican. I think this is going to be normal from now on. If the GOP wants half a chance to win California, they are going to have to run conservative enough candidates to try to energize their base. I don't know if that will do any good as there are 4 registered Dems for every 3 registered GOP. But is it painfully obvious now that running RINO Socialist lites doesn't work, because the GOP base won't vote, leaving the Dem voters to elect the Dem candidate.
All summer I heard GOP insiders say how they have to appeal to mainstream moderate Californians and not run candidates too far to the right. I have no faith the incompetent CA GOP will see the proof that is false and try running right wing candidates next time.
IMHO, California is done. It is over. It is doomed. Only a backlash from economic bankruptcy hs a chance to wake the middle class into rejecting socialism, and they may not awaken even then.
California is doomed. I'll leave as soon as I retire.
Left the state many years ago and am glad I did. Moonbeam was governor then and was a total joke. What deja vu.
The Republicans could have stopped the last massive tax increases, but three or four Republicans joined the Democrats to raise taxes.
Republicans in California and nationwide have to learn that if elected Republicans fail to stop the Democrats when it's in their power, they are largely useless to us. Why would we bother voting for them?
Your usual carefully reasoned (and correct) analysis as to why California keeps electing one political weasel after another. Your last paragraph says it all.
Give a Tom McClintock or Chuck DeVore 1/10th the support that the state GOP gave to any of their "moderate" candidates in this election and we'd have winners. Instead, they will be meddling more in the primaries thanks to their fair-haired-treasonous-liberal-lapdog, Abel Maldonado. I hear they're gonna push Whitman to run against Feinstein. And I don't think we've seen the last of the Democrat that Rove recruited to run for SOS, either. If you expect conservatives to vote for these people just because they have an "R" by their name, you are sadly mistaken -- and you haven't taken to heart the election results for the past decade.
But, I'm sure that we'll have the moderates of the party running to be first in line to trash any conservative candidate. With the open primaries, folks like you will be here during the primary to tell us "conservatives are unelectable" and "we must vote for the democrat"... errrr moderate because "they are the only ones that can win."
BTW, McClintock (45%) did better than Meg Whitman (41%), despite her $150 million dollar boondoggle.

Cody Field Office
|Release Date: 02/04/13
BLM Cody Reopens Spirit Mountain Cave
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cody Field Office has reopened Spirit Mountain Cave after a collapse last year made it unsafe to visit.
BLM Range Management/Cave Specialist Bryan McKenzie said the BLM couldn't have reopened Spirit Mountain Cave without the assistance of volunteers and the USFS. "Blasting and working inside a cave comes with unique challenges so we certainly appreciate their efforts," said McKenzie.
Spirit Mountain Cave is located on public land on Cedar Mountain, approximately three miles west of Cody. More than 1,000 people visit the cave each year.
The BLM reminds the public to not enter any cave unless all clothing and equipment has been de-contaminated to help prevent the spread of White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) to Wyoming. WNS is a fungal disease that has killed more than 5.5 million bats in the eastern third of North America during the past six years and continues to spread south and west. Hibernating bats are especially vulnerable because underground caves provide the cool, moist conditions favorable for the fungus to thrive. Do not use any clothing or equipment in Wyoming caves that have been previously used in states where WNS occurs.
A permit is required to visit Spirit Mountain Cave. For more information or to obtain permits to visit the caves in the Cody Field Office area, contact McKenzie at 307-578-5900 or at email@example.com. For more information on WNS, visit www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/programs/Wildlife/wns.html.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

In response to concerns expressed by members of the campus community .the President's Senior Executive Team (PSET) recently reviewed the issue of posting on the College Web site the anonymous comments submitted as part of the budgeting process.
It has always been the intent of this administration to foster free and open communication. Through the very difficult financial times of recent years, soliciting ideas and comments from across the campus has been an important component of the budgeting process. While there are many communication opportunities through departments, committees and other official paths, some individuals are uncomfortable voicing views in these venues. In response, for the past two years, an anonymous e-mail account and physical suggestion boxes have been available for those who wish to provide input or otherwise express thoughts and opinions about the budget and the budget process. All of those anonymous comments, submitted by e-mail or paper, were reviewed by PSET as one of the many sources of data used in ongoing budget considerations.
As part of identifying budget considerations, PSET worked within the established governance structure to establish expectations for the budgeting process. One result of that work is a set of guidelines about process transparency. An expectation set out in those guidelines is that all data used in determining the College budget would be shared with the campus. The anonymous comments are part of that data. Other data were also used and shared, including legislative mandates, internal and external costs, contract language and more. In addition, the question of sharing the anonymous comments was reviewed and approved at least twice by College Council, once on Feb. 16, 2010, prior to posting, and again on March 16, 2010, after the posting.
All of the data shared publically, including the anonymous comments, are public records. As a public agency, Shoreline Community College is required by law to disclose public records upon request. However, the College can determine how those records are made available and this is the point of discussion that PSET is reviewing again.
As of March 23 2010, the anonymous comments will be removed from the College Web site. A printed copy will be available at the library circulation desk for review. Printed copies of the comments will also be available for review in the Human Resources office upon written request, following the established public records disclosure process. Copies of the comments will also be made available to representatives of both Faculty and Classified unions, and employees may request to review those documents through their respective union representatives.
Through April 30, the College will continue to accept anonymous comments to provide relevant information for budget and organizational planning. Guiding language recommended by College Council at the March 16 meeting has been added to the online form as well as the suggestion boxes. Moving forward, it is hoped that this communication channel will be used as originally intended, to gather thoughtful input toward the goal of making Shoreline Community College a better place to work and learn.

Health Care Informatics (HCI), offered online, is a discipline that integrates information science and computer science into the health care professions, gaining the ability to combine resources, devices and methods required for the acquisition, storage, retrieval and use of collected information and data in health sciences and biomedicine. HCI provides a tremendous advantage to health care practitioners through the combination of health care concepts and information technology management that is an integral part of the health care industry.
The HCI certificates increase practitioner knowledge and skills that are required to aid in the reduction of health care costs, expanding access to quality care and improving the quality of services.
Health Care Informatics is a selective admission program. Enrollment in HCI program courses requires a minimum of an associate degree in health care or a related field, or by program coordinator/instructor consent.
Most students may complete the HCI Certificate in two semesters and the HCI-PM Certificate in three, provided students enroll in the recommended number of credit hours per semester, in the suggested order of completion.
Health Care Informatics is an expanding field that is rapidly becoming an excellent career option for many health care professionals. Health Care Informaticists work in a variety of environments including hospitals, clinics, physician offices, public health agencies, technological firms/vendors, research facilities and insurance. The typical salary in the health care informatics field ranges from $35,000 to $50,000.
In addition to MCC's general admission requirements, the HCI certificate program requires a minimum of an associate degree, or instructor consent, prior to enrollment.
MCC's online coursework is delivered through Blackboard. Our knowledgeable Help Desk is available to answer your questions about your online class. Contact the KCTCS Online Technical Help Desk at any time 24/7. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact Mike Wilkerson (firstname.lastname@example.com) for assistance.

Love this bag
"I love this bag! It's not too small, so I can fit my cel, makeup, keys, etc, but it's not super large either. The only not-so-good thing I can say about it is that even empty, it weighs a bit, so when you put a couple things in it, it may get bothersome after a while of carrying it around. Other than that, it's a great purse"

Kiwi's Coca-Cola Addiction Likely Killed Her
Excessive consumption of Coca-Cola likely contributed to the death of a New Zealand woman who suffered a fatal heart attack two years ago.
30-year-old homemaker Natasha Harris would regularly drink over two gallons of Coke a day, according to her partner Chris Hodgkinson. "The first thing she would do in the morning was to have a drink of Coke beside her bed and the last thing she would do at night was have a drink of Coke," Hodgkinson said. "She was addicted to Coke."
A pathologist who testified at an inquest held yesterday said Harris's Coke habit likely led her to suffer from a condition called hypokalemia, wherein the concentration of potassium in the blood is dangerously low. Additionally, toxic levels of caffeine may have also played a critical role in her untimely demise.
Coca-Cola Oceania released a statement saying they concurred with the coroner's office assessment that "the grossly excessive ingestion of any food product, including water, over a short period of time with the inadequate consumption of essential nutrients, and the failure to seek appropriate medical intervention when needed, can be dramatically symptomatic."

Black Magic: a closer look at the new Everton away kit by Aaron› 28 Jul 2014
After being unveiled on Friday, the new Everton 2014/15 away kit was worn for the first time yesterday in a pre-season friendly in Thailand. Now, as we get even closer to the start of the new season, we thought it was the perfect time to take a closer look at the club's new all-black outfit.
The colour, inspired by one of the first kits Everton ever wore, was personally praised by manager Roberto Martinez for its smart, stylish look. The lightweight shirt has a subtle micro shadow stripe across the body, with raglan sleeve shaping offers enhanced fit and movement. There's a splash of white thanks to the fabric overlay that sits over the displaced side seams. On the back of the shirt, laser-cut ventilation holes help to keep the wearer cool, with two shaped like the famous Toffee Tower.
The classic crew neck collar is accompanied by a v-stretch rib insert, which adds an extra layer of comfort and design detail. The back-neck taping is in the club's Everton blue home colour, meaning that wherever fans or players travel, they'll always have a bit of Goodison there with them.
The club's new crest and the Umbro double diamond are embroidered onto the chest of the shirt, completing what we think is one of the smartest shirts in the Premier League this season.
The shirt is accompanied by a smart pair of black shorts, which feature white mesh insert panels on the side for enhanced breathability. A shaped inseam adds a fitted shape to keep the wearer comfortable, while the club crest and Umbro logo are again embroidered onto the fabric.
The kit is completed by black socks, which are crafted to ensure comfort and performance. Anatomical footbeds, Y heels and a double welt cuff with white trim ensure that the wearer is comfortable and can concentrate on their game.

The American Philosophical Society,[1] the oldest learned society in the United States, was founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1743. By 1746, however, it was no longer functioning and was not revived until 1769 when it was merged with the American Society for Promoting Useful Knowledge.[2]
Jefferson was elected to the APS in January 1780 and the following year was elected a Counsellor. In his letter to Timothy Matlock, secretary of the Society, accepting this new postion he expressed a desire "...to contribute any thing worthy the acceptance of the society."[3] At that time, Jefferson was compiling data on the state of Virginia in answer to a questionnaire from the secretary of the French Legation, as the French sought to gather more information in the various states of this new republic they were supporting against England. In December of 1781 Jefferson wrote to fellow APS member, Charles Thomson, "In framing answers to some queries which Monsr. De Marbois sent me, it occurred to me that some of the subjects which I had then occasion to take up, might, if more fully handled, be a proper tribute to the Philosophical society." In a return letter Charles Thomson noted that, "This country opens to the philosophic view an extensive, rich and unexplored field," and encouraged Jefferson in his "philosophical researches."[4] With the added motivation of making a contribution to the Philosophical society, Jefferson's answers to Marbois' twenty-two questions on his native state grew into his only published book, Notes on the State of Virginia.
During his long association with the APS, Jefferson served on many committees. He chaired the committee to study the hessian-fly, which was doing great damage to the American grain industry. When he made his 'botanical' tour of the Northern Lakes with James Madison in 1791, his most lengthy journal entries resulting from that tour were on the hessian fly.[5] But despite these notes and several meetings of his committee, a final resolution was never presented to the APS.[6] Jefferson served also on a committee referred to in the Society Minutes of 16 June 1797 as the "Bone Committee" (more often referred to as the Antiquarian Committee) which had as a priority "to procure one or more entire skeletons of the Mammoth."[7] In 1807, when he financed William Clark to head a dig at Big Bone Lick in Kentucky, of the over 300 bones which Clark shipped back, Jefferson offered to the APS fossils not already in their collection.[8]
The exploration of the West to the Pacific Ocean was of interest to Jefferson for many years. He used his membership in the APS as a logical resource to support exploration which could provide information on flora and fauna, native inhabitants, and geography. In 1793 Jefferson initiated a subscription within the Society to finance an expedition by French botanist, Andre Michaux. This expedition was never completed, but in 1803 Jefferson again turned to the society as he called upon the knowledge of fellow Society members in the preparation of what became the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Jefferson connected Meriwether Lewis with Caspar Wistar, knowledgeable in anatomy and zoology, botanist Benjamin Smith Barton, mathematics professor Robert Patterson to consult in astronomy and Dr. Benjamin Rush to advise on medical practice.[9] In return the Society became the repository for many of the objects along with original journals from the expedition.[10]
On March 3, 1797 Jefferson was installed as President of the American Philosophical Society, and on the following day as Vice President of the United States. He would serve as the Society's president for the next eighteen years even though he offered his letter of resignation on three different occasions, when the government moved from Philadelphia to Washington and then when retirement to Monticello moved him an even greater distance from the "seat of the meetings." The Society refused his offers of resignation and the minutes indicate that Jefferson remained active through correspondence even though the last entry listing Jefferson present at a meeting was May 2, 1800. The Society finally accepted his resignation at the meeting of January 20, 1815 "with great reluctance."[11] Following death on July 4, 1826 members of the APS voted that the President's chair, which Jefferson had occupied for so many years, be draped in black for six months. The official eulogy was delivered before the Society by Nicholas Biddle on April 11, 1827.[12]

Great Training Shoes
"I wear these shoes 5 times a week when I'm training. They're great for weight training and cardio workouts. They're very stylish and the quality is awesome. They are a snug, supportive fit. They are heavy enough to be supportive, but light enough when it's time to get moving. I plan on picking up another pair in a different color, if available."

Exhibit by Hans Tutschku. The exhibit is in the first-floor gallery of Byerly Hall at 8 Garden Street, Radcliffe Yard, Cambridge, MA 02138.
There will be a fellow's presentation by Hans Tutschku at 4 p.m. on Monday, March 10, followed by the exhibit opening at 5:30 p.m.
From March 11 through March 28, the exhibit will be open on weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This exhibition unites a series of photographic installations, interactive sound sculptures, and performance videos.
I believe that stimulating curiosity is one of the most important aspects of education, human interaction, and art.
Since the 1980s, I have been working with oil painting. In Klang-Farbe-Bewegung (1989), I projected images of my paintings on dancers. I then started to take still photographs of the dancers in the image projection and incorporated them into interactive sound panels for Tell Me! . . . a secret . . . (2007). In the dance piece Polyvision (2009), I transferred the image world into video and experimented with the relationship of moving paintings and choreography.
This installation, The Other Side, is a collaboration with the Harvard University Dance Program. Harvard students developed poses and characteristic expressions through improvisation.
—Hans Tutschku
Hans Tutschku is known for his groundbreaking work in contemporary electronic music. Tutschku also investigates the integration of technology in many other art forms and media and has experimented with oil painting, photography, theatre, choreography, pottery, and video art. This experimentation has become an important source of inspiration for his music. His upbringing in communist East Germany was characterized by intense artistic collaborations and a constant yearning for "the other side"—for the ability to express his ideas freely. The intensity of Tutschku's works has not faded since the political change in 1989.
Many thanks to Jill Johnson, the director of the Harvard University Dance Program, and the following dancers who are featured in the exhibit: Lauren Balbus, Irineo Cabreros, Melanie J. Comeau, Stella Gaitani, Naze-a-ru Gonzalez, Bex Kwan, Megan Murdock, Sofie Rose Seymour, Tsung-Yun Tzeng, and Rossi L. Walter.

The newly renovated Red House Inn provides comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation in downtown Brevard, NC. The Inn is a short walk from many shopping and dining opportunities and within easy driving distance to Brevard Music Center, Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State forest. It is ideally situated for exploring the North Carolina mountains, visiting waterfalls, hiking, mountain biking and fishing.
The Red House Inn has operated as a bed and breakfast for the last several years, but the house was built in 1851 to serve as a general store. Since that time it has been the county's first courthouse, a railroad station, a school and a family home.
In January 2007 Daniel and Tracie Trusler purchased The Red House Inn as a home for themselves and their daughter Emily. They have renovated the guest rooms and furnished them with luxurious beds, high quality bedding and modern conveniences such as satellite television and high speed wireless internet. The bathrooms have been updated with ceramic tile showers and floors, new fixtures and improved plumbing to ensure a plentiful supply of hot water.
After a good night's sleep, guests can start the day with a selection of cereals, juice and fresh breads along with a cooked English breakfast that includes bacon and sausages produced in Lumberton, eggs from Madison County and coffee that is freshly roasted in Brevard.
After breakfast guests can explore the area and take advantage of exclusive Red House Inn discount coupons they receive at check-in for special offers at local shops and restaurants.

A Taxonomy of Privacy
Daniel J. Solove
George Washington University Law School
University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Vol. 154, No. 3, p. 477, January 2006
GWU Law School Public Law Research Paper No. 129
Privacy is a concept in disarray. Nobody can articulate what it means. As one commentator has observed, privacy suffers from an embarrassment of meanings. Privacy is far too vague a concept to guide adjudication and lawmaking, as abstract incantations of the importance of privacy do not fare well when pitted against more concretely-stated countervailing interests.
In 1960, the famous torts scholar William Prosser attempted to make sense of the landscape of privacy law by identifying four different interests. But Prosser focused only on tort law, and the law of information privacy is significantly more vast and complex, extending to Fourth Amendment law, the constitutional right to information privacy, evidentiary privileges, dozens of federal privacy statutes, and hundreds of state statutes. Moreover, Prosser wrote over 40 years ago, and new technologies have given rise to a panoply of new privacy harms.
A new taxonomy to understand privacy violations is thus sorely needed. This article develops a taxonomy to identify privacy problems in a comprehensive and concrete manner. It endeavors to guide the law toward a more coherent understanding of privacy and to serve as a framework for the future development of the field of privacy law.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
It's off and on continuously. I had a severe infection in my foot almost 3 years ago. I had to have a partial foot amputation and was in hospital for 12 days. Now my balance is almost non-existant and I have a bad limp which causes pain in my leg. Such is life!

Retail Sales Jump
Americans are spending more.
February saw retail spending surge 1.1 percent compared with January, the biggest jump in five months.
The sound of cash registers, like the new economic data, is music to the ears of retailers.
"Obviously the numbers are good for our retailers," says Bill Thorne of the National Retail Federation. "We're very excited about the continuation of how retail is driving this economy forward."
Higher gas prices contributed to the jump, but even excluding the pain at the pump, retail sales still rose .6 percent.
Still, analysts say there is room for improvement.
"We anticipate that they will continue to be positive as long as the head winds continue to diminish and those headwinds consist of economic uncertainty, gas prices and and overall concern about the way the economy is moving," Thorne notes.
Strong online sales are also driving the positive numbers.
The National Retail Federation predicts they'll increase 12 percent over last year.
The improved retail sales picture came as something of a surprise, hitting at a time when this year's payroll tax increase has cut into workers' take-home pay.
Analysts attribute the rise in spending to an improved job market.
Employers have added an average of 205,000 jobs a month since November.

Toulson and Harvey
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2006
Luke Toulson and Stephen Harvey return to the Edinburgh festival after last year's debut show garnered them Perrier Best Newcomer and Dubble Act Award Nominations. This year, with an appetite for the surreal and absurd, they explore the treatment of foreigners by the British, and the foreign policy of the Americans.
The show opens with an Astronaut and a Cosmonaut returning
to earth after being lost in Space since the end of the Cold
War. The former is hailed an American hero, the latter discovers
his country no longer exists. Together they embark on an astonishing
journey, encountering Islamic Nativity plays, Christian Land
Theme Parks, and the band whose song, We're Winning The War On
Terror, is about to go platinum.
, Stephen Harvey
Original Review:
Last year, Toulson and Harvey were nominated for the Perrier best newcomer award for their sharp, pacy media satire to the chagrin of those who thought this genre had already been overspoofed.
Well, this time around they've chosen even more widely covered topics: the war on terror, how politics has become a branch of entertainment, how George Bush sometimes says dumb things and added nothing to the body of opinion on any of them.
It's a shame, as Luke Toulson and Stephen Harvey are hugely gifted performers, able to take on the mantle of any character without props, wigs or costumes. They subtly catch accents and physical mannerisms of everyone from a seven-year-old schoolboy to Daniel Kitson, who they envisage as some mystical shaman able to transcend space.
All these figures play their part in a rather convoluted non-linear story about two astronauts who return to Earth after 11 years adrift in the Mir space station to find the world is not as they left it. The Russian cosmonaut's life falls apart, he's forced to emigrate to the UK, take menial jobs and winds up in the gutter; while his American counterpart is hailed as a hero, elected President or Emperor as well as hosting his own late-night chat show. Read that again: Emperor and chat show host? You'd have thought that at some point one of them might have realised that, as a satirical idea, that's immature rubbish.
That's indicative of the main problem underpinning the entire hour: that the concepts are blunt and broad, and played out with very little insight or opinion.
What they are good at is creating theatrical texture, with
off-the-wall ideas and a distinctive structure making the intertwining
sketches stylistically interesting. It's just the writing and
the concept that let down this talented duo and they're
fairly major failings.

These guys are excellent, they deserve a big break. I much prefer these imaginative sketch spoofs to the usual "and another thing" stand up but fear the latter will always get the exposure. They have very innovative ideas, good script and above all else timing. Comedy actors not comics
Kari - 15/08/2006
Enjoyed this show immensely. Original, challenging, fast moving and well acted.
Kat - 31/07/2006
This show is fantastic, if you could only see one show in Edinburgh this year, see this. Entertaining all the way through with plenty of hilarity thrown in, you'll be left breathless by the end
Zeps - 30/07/2006
Absolute quality personified, I love these guys take on politics. Edgy but never overindulgant. Extremly well balanced in script as well as performance. A must watch

Comments: These shoes are definitely different. I purchased them after watching a number of karhu's videos and I have to say that "efficient" is definitely the word to describe them; however being an experienced forefoot striker these shoes weren't for me. I really liked the wide toe box on the shoe, and the minimalist upper that was very breathable. There is also a lot of cushion under the forefoot, but this cushioning system is very firm. After putting 30 miles in them the cushion showed no signs of breaking in, and was just to firm for my liking. Also when my stride would get lazy and I would land more mid foot, the fulcrum insert would feel like it was punishing my arch with how hard it is. It's no wonder you'd want to stay toward your forefoot. If you like a firm ride with a shoe that sort of guides your gait cycle, then this shoe my work for you.
From: Charles, Helotes, TX
Comments: I bought these on a friend's recommendation, he couldn't say enough good things about them. I put about 30 miles on them the first week, alternating days with my go-to trainer at the time, and have about 90 on them now. The next week they were the new go-to's, there's something really smooth about them. I am a mid-foot striker who gets lazy and sometimes hits the heel and it seems regardless of position these shoes help transition my foot through the whole motion. They almost propel you forward. Upper fits well, I have only worn them with socks as I don't run without them so I can't comment on how they would be sockless. The only con is that I had a couple blisters after my first run, but it was a one-day (7 mile) break-in and it really could have been due to the heat and humidity. Plus the color, the scream/blue, is fantastic, it's awesome. I liked these so much I bought the trail version and was just as happy.
From: Mic, West Hartford, CT
Comments: These are one of those shoes that hooks you a few miles into your first run with them. They are firm, but not punishing (like, say the first NB MR10s), with a nice bit of resiliency added. The fulcrum "technology" actually seems to function really well. You find yourself seeking out a midfoot strike - and when you do the footfall is silent and very smooth. The denser material that the fulcrum is made of adds a bit of stability that this neutral runner found rather pleasing. It's hard to describe, but your feet just feel solid and still as they go through the gait. The upper is nice and smooth on top of your foot, with nothing in the way of hotspots. Most people will want to hook a lace through the rearmost spot if you don't want slippage. Overall, this is a wonderful shoe - particularly if you want something that's no-nonsense, in the range of firmness of a Mizuno, and brings a unique sensation to the table in terms of the fulcrum-affected footstrike (very pleasing when you're running economically). An impressive effort from a company that hasn't even warranted being on my radar in the past. Check out the trail shoes built on the same platform as well!

Customer Reviews
Comments: Very pleased with these baits. The colors were what drew my attention to them. I bought a metal flake shad and natural shad. Been doing quite well with them along the dam at my local lake.
From: Caleb: IN
Comments: Nice bait. It has a good action and takes it down deep. I set this up along a Spro Fat Papa 70 to whack them in the deeper waters.
From: Joey: Phoenix, AZ
Comments: Did anybody order the rootbeer? These are great baits that won't break the bank. I only use Bandit and Spro crank baits
From: mark: Spokane, WA
Comments: I purchased 2 to try and was very pleased with the product. First day out cought 8 fish on the Charteuse Fleck. The crankbait ran true all day. This is the 1st time I have used Bandit crankbaits but was impressed. I was able to get the bait down to about 13' on ten pound test.
From: Fishbell: Fort Mills, SC
Comments: Generally I think Bandits colors/patterns suck. I find them to cheap looking especially in the face of so many "real" designs out there now. I am however VERY pleased with these lures. They have some new colors that seem to be a real upgrade (in the 250 and other sizes too) as well and this is a nice fat lure, and upgrade in size. I am very excited to toss this lure out. I am glad Bandit is doing some upgrades and making some great changes !!! Keep up the good work.

At least I know the routine, thanks to the Buffalo Bills. When all hope is lost in a season, start reading up on the draft. That's where the Sabres 4-0 home ice loss to the New York Islanders left me.
Good news Sabres fans. If they turn out to be one of the worst teams in the NHL this season, there should be a silver lining in the form of an impact player in the 2013 draft.
The top three prospects are considered by many to be cornerstone pieces for a franchise. One team's head of amateur scouting told ESPN.com's Craig Custance there might be six guys that could change the fortunes of a team.
Another scout said he thinks there will be ten impact players in the draft.
The prized trio of the group are Nathan Mackinnon, Seth Jones and Jonathan Drouin.
Mackinnon is a 5-11, 179 pound center who plays for Halifax in the Quebec Major Junior League. He has 28 goals and 69 points in 41 games. Last season Mackinnon recorded 31 goals and 78 points in 58 games.
The hype machine on Mackinnon has been in full force for the last couple of years. He is considered a franchise center with tremendous skating ability and a combination of skill and grit. Some scouts believe he is strong enough, quick enough and powerful enough to play against NHL competition right now.
Drouin is a teammate of Mackinnon's in Halifax. Drouin is 5'11", weighs 176 pounds and plays left wing. He comes from NHL stock, as his Dad Jude played more than 600 games with 4 different teams in his NHL career.
Drouin has absolutely exploded this season, leading with Quebec League with 36 goals and 93 points in just 42 games. Last season the Quebec native had just 7 goals and 29 points in 33 games.
Even though he's a winger, Drouin is considered a tremendous playmaker, as evidenced by his 57 assists this season. He has sky rocketed up the draft boards while exhibiting a high skill level and making numerous highlight reel plays.
The other player in the big three is defenseman Seth Jones, who plays for the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Hockey League. A native of Plano, Texas, Jones is a big dude, standing at 6'4" and weighing 206 pounds. He has 9 goals and 41 points in 43 games this season. He missed some action to play in the World Junior Championships, where he was a member of the gold medal winning USA club.
To go along with his size, Jones is said to be at an elite level with his skating and skill. He comes from an athletic background as well. Jones' dad is former NBA player Popeye Jones.
Keep in mind the NHL draft lottery has changed in the new CBA. All 14 teams that miss out on the playoffs are eligible for the first overall selection. Under the old rules a team could move up no more than four spots so the only clubs that could have gotten the first selection were the ones that finished with one of the five worst records in the league.
Under the old system, the team finishing with the worst record had a 48% chance of winning the lottery. Now the odds have dropped to 25%.
