Take it to the Limitless One More Time
To briefly return to yesterday's post, I spoke of how scripture and revelation can be thought of as a reflection of the eternal within time. The genius of scripture -- something which no human could have accomplished, at least without divine assistance -- is that it speaks to men of all gifts and capacities, at whatever level. The other day, Petey made a cheap shot at one of those vacuous TV preachers, but don't get me, I mean Petey, wrong. Religion must meet a man where he is. It would be as absurd for me to appear on TBN as it would be for Joel Osteen to be the keynote speaker at the annual Raccoon Lodge convention.
But someone must speak the language of eternity in terms the average man can grasp. It's something that is actually quite critical to both the salvation of the individual and to the harmony of society, and is one of the things that makes America great -- i.e., its basic religiosity. I certainly relate to a simple person of faith much more than I do to a sophisticated yahoo such as Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins, who actually have far more soul-deadening limits than those they mock. They truly "don't get it," but are nevertheless enormously proud of their spiritual autism -- technically known as Assburger's Syndrome.
I'm getting sidetracked. This post was actually inspired by a couple of comments made by Frithjof Schuon in reference to the painful struggles of his youth. For a time he was employed in a meaningless occupation that had nothing to do with his true vocation, which he had yet to discover. In dealing with a typical coworker, he had the sense that the coworker was "hemmed in by all the objects and mental images that surround him. I feel that these people adhere flatly to their mental images with all their soul, without any freedom of movement and without any possibility of taking up an objective attitude towards them."
He also observed that "When I speak with people I have the feeling that I can perceive their limitations physically; I see their limits almost tangibly before me and feel oppressed by the awareness that there is no entry and no key to their darkness, and that for them there is no exit, that with dull eyes like fish they bump against the glass walls of their mental horizon.
Now, one thing you must immediately bear in mind is that neither of these comments were intended to convey contempt. Far from it. Rather, they were expressions of a familiar kind of pain that apparently has no name, and which I myself had never adequately articulated until reading these passages. A decent person will not automatically blame the world for the fact that he doesn't fit into it. Rather, in the absence of some kind of emotional support from like-minded people, he will naturally blame himself: the world is right. There's just something wrong with me. I am a misfit. I need to change myself so that I can be like the others. But this is no solution. Rather, it will simply exchange one kind of existential pain for another. A lion can try to fit in with the other sheep by eating grass all day, but that is far from the ideal solution. But what can you do if you've never even met another lion?
The human world is an interpersonal world. It is a tapestry of humanness that comes at us from every possible angle, high and low. Each of us must find our place within this tapestry, but it is much easier for some than for others. An "average" person apparently feels "at home" in the world, for the simple reason that the world was made for him. But if you are far from average, the world is going to literally be an alien place. It is going to be much more painful -- even bizarre. To take a mundane example, the world was made for righthanded people. If you are lefthanded, you are going to have to deal with all kinds of trivial inconveniences for the simple reason that the world literally wasn't made for you. In the not too distant past, parents would even force lefthanded children to be righthanded, which would cause real damage, similar to "enlightened" parents who try to raise their children without a strong sexual identification.
The world was also made for heterosexuals. If you are homosexual, we can only say tough luck. We are not going to overturn the order of the cosmos just so you can feel more comfortable in it. This is such a narcissistic demand. Yes, the homosexual is "different," but not nearly as different as I or my fellow Raccoons are. And yet, we do not expect the world to conform to our needs. I don't expect that a certain percentage of television characters must be Bobbleheads, or that special accommodations should be made for us, or that ballots must be designed so that we can understand them, or that closed-captioning be furnished so that we can understand what the hell is going on on TV.
No, it is enough that we have found each other: a little community of the limitless. Back to Schuon's comment above: When I speak with people I have the feeling that I can perceive their limitations physically; I see their limits almost tangibly before me and feel oppressed by the awareness that there is no entry and no key to their darkness, and that for them there is no exit. I am eager to know how many readers have also felt this, for I certainly do. In dealing with someone, there is a sort of instantaneous -- and oppressive -- intuition of the exact limits of their horizons. Interestingly, it has nothing to do with education. More often than not, the highly educated person has simply internalized an officially sanctioned set of limits, beyond which their minds cannot venture. They are hemmed in by their education, not liberated by it. Imagine the frustration of dealing with the typical New York Times reader or NPR listener -- just incredibly narrow limits masquerading as sophistication.
This also has nothing to do with basic intelligence. Many intelligent people have drifted in and out of this site who have no idea what I'm talking about. People routinely leave comments that make it clear that they not only do not understand my post, but even the point of the blog. Often they will take something I wrote and merely fit it into their existing framework -- in other words, they place me within their own limits.
Let's take an obviously intelligent person, say, Christopher Hitchens. He is a good example, because he is clearly gifted in a sense, and yet, the iron bars within his soul are truly tangible. His gift has ended up sharply limiting his horizons, probably because it also happens to be in the service of a fair amount of narcissism. I would no more get into a debate with him about religion than I would debate my dog, because in both cases I would lose.
One of the persistent misunderstandings of my critics is that the people who agree with me are "followers" -- or that I could even have such a thing. Obviously, the "Bobblehead" designation is always used both ironically and affectionately, for the people who most agree with me are the ones who are probably the most fiercely independent, and who have spent their lives winning their personal insights from the formless infinite void in a world that was either indifferent or even hostile to them.
I met one of our regular readers several months before I started this blog. We engaged in a correspondence that was intensely stimulating on many levels, and now I know why: I had found a fellow Raccoon, a person with no limits! Just as I can instantly sense someone's limits, I now realize that I could sense her freedom. No matter where I went, she could follow -- and vice versa. A particularly brilliant psychoanalyst, Christopher Bollas, refers to this as "the erotics of being," because there is such a tangible joy involved in connecting with someone on this level.
This morning I received an email. I hope he or she will not be embarrassed, because they shouldn't be. But in a perfect synchronicity, it articulates exactly what this particular post is about, and the cosmic service I wish the blog to provide. This person wrote, "The last week or so's posts have been giving me the sense that you were a couple steps ahead of where I've been wanting to [go].... [W]ith today's post I was sure with each word that you were about to completely say what I've been trying to get out and then some.... [It] really sent the neurons a-swirling. A strange thing this blogosphere, a very strange and wondrous thing -- the distance of entire continents is no obstacle for thoughts to bounce off each other and spark still other thoughts afire."
In fact, a couple of days ago, another emailer expressed it this way: "What do I see when I go to your blog? It's like traveling on a dark night, towards a bubble of light on the horizon. You know that once you are there, you can refresh yourself, rest, be edified, and continue the journey." You see? I cannot be a "leader," just a useful bloglight on the horizon of being.
Now, just as I do not have contempt for the person who does not understand me, I do not draw any kind of egoic gratification from these kinds of comments. For one thing, these people are my equals, undoubtedly gifted in certain areas I am not. The point is the same as with the correspondent alluded to above: the erotics of being, the liberating joy of finding another person to play with in hyperspace! We're not alone after all!
So if I am going to have "followers," it can only be in this sense: to help people vault themselves beyond their own limits in their own unique idiom. This is what my most esteemed teachers have done for me. I will always be their humble student but never their follower, or I will have both insulted them and learned nothing in the process. For there is none good but One; and to quote Schuon again, this One "wishes to be worshiped by every man according to the nature He gave him."

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
JD - how are you? Sorry been running around the OP chasing steel
PR is fun. There aren't too many bones but the ones that are there are big. Quality not quantity.
The island of Culebra has some tucked-away bonefish spots I really enjoy and am thinking of going back there even there there are many more productive spots to choose from. With a few more trips to work out the mysteries of the place I am pretty sure I could be consistent hooking 8 pound + bones every day. Places with lots of small bones can be fun but there is a certain funkiness about this little town that is charming. There are also huge permit there.
PR main island has lots of tarpon, but most of the areas are inaccessible without a boat or a guide. The only population that is regularly fished is the huge resident group in the San Juan lagoon system. It was all I could do to hook one about 40# on a fly, but they eat live pilchards every cast as the guide Pete hired was bent on showing us every 10 minutes.
There are both open ocean tarpon and resident tarpon on PR. Open ocean tarpon are move around for two reasons - to follow bait, and to spawn. I don't think anyone knows much about the spawning migration there (compared to the Keys for instance) and the pilchard swarms are unpredictable. You basically need to know someone who lived there to know when it's happening.
Residents probably inhabit every lagoon on the entire island but you need a boat to get into them. You will find residents at any fish cleaning dock on the island and if you are not at a tourist trap who wants them around to draw crowds no one cares if you hook them. In fact the locals will laugh at you for even trying
Any more specific tarpon info will have to be off-line. When are you going? I am thinking early March (?).
"Earth to Juro, come in Juro ...."
Seriously, there is some great material in the archives including places that are good, places that look good and places that are good, look good and also serve great food and beer
Puerto Rico
Does anyone have any experience fly fishing Puerto Rico? I get down there about once a year. Like a lot of of people, to escape winter. I've run across Caribbean Outfitters in San Juan. Is there anyone else? Are there any DIY opportunities? Bones, Snook, baby Tarpon, whatever?

Welcome to Captain Freeman's Blog Our first blog in this learning experience is thoughts to come back to in the future. Comments will be turned on and we welcome any and all responses.
Word press says they have suggestions for your first post. OKAY ?!!?
- You can find new ideas for what to blog about by reading the Daily Post. Really ??? I think we can do better than that, especially since we want to highlight Cape Cod.
- Add PressThis to your browser. It creates a new blog post for you about any interesting page you read on the web. Okay ?!!? surely we can step up to home plate with something besides a styrofoam bat. Right ?? Right ?? Okay.
So I go on a search and come up with ??The ugliest blog with the best information? ?? It showed up first in the google search for bed and breakfast blogs. Okay, well that is a lot of information that is pretty darn dry, but the lesson is that they wrote a page that ranked high, probably because of the specificity, the number of elements, basically good content. Okay, we know that we will come back to this on another day.
Then, the number two link in the search is for bed and breakfast dot com which makes a lot of sense since they are a money making machine of the first order and certainly do not need a link from little old Captain Freeman. They already have more money than anyone else in the industry and ,,,
And then, the number 3 link is someone to follow definitely!!!! So MakingABandB gets a link. It will take me a while to get facebook, twitter, website, living SOcial, linked In, and the twelve other social networking sites up and running that the people in the know say I just have to have. They seem to have their act together and I can deeply appreciate that.
So, send me tips, ideas, wishes to be a guest blogger, a computer that writes great blog posts with out my having to help it and any other help you can think of. Oh, no psychiatrists, or psychologists, or other mental health professionals, do not have the time to get my head on correctly just yet.
Well, not being terribly well organized and just loving to jump into the middle of the murky pond, we start with a blog and a post appropos of everything and specifically lost.
Cheers from,
Captain Freeman and Harrison Too

We All Miss the K-1 World Grand Prix, So Return to Its Roots
- Written by Dave Walsh
The K-1 World Grand Prix will not happen for the first time since 1993 this year. Sometimes you have to make a sacrifice for the good of the sport and a promotion like K-1, and having this time to re-organize and re-group and kick off next year with FIKA is vital. This, of course, means that over the past week or so many of us who have been following K-1 for years were sorely missing the K-1 World Grand Prix. If you are like me, then go ahead and watch the Finals to the very first World Grand Prix, held in 1993. If you have the time, check out K-1's official YouTube channel that still features the 1993 - 1999 World Grand Prix events, which you should be studying for the holidays.

Deputy court clerk files discrimination complaint
Billings, MT - A former deputy in the Yellowstone County clerk of court's office has filed a complaint claiming the clerk discriminated and retaliated against her because she supported the clerk's opponent in last year's election.
The Billings Gazette reports Barbara Klang filed the complaint with the Montana Human Rights Bureau on Sept. 3 arguing clerk Kristie Boelter subjected her to an "uncomfortable and hostile" work environment and favored those who supported her candidacy.
Klang first filed a complaint with the county's human resources department in March saying Boelter had given her more work and took away her office. After that, she says Boelter took away her printer and reprimanded her for demonstrating unacceptable demeanor.
Klang resigned on March 14. A consultant said she found evidence to support Klang's complaints.

relax - News: relax version 2.2.1.
[Submit News]
[79 news in archive]
relax version 2.2.1.
Item posted by Edward d Auvergne <bugman> on Sat Feb 2 08:42:04 2013.
This is a quick bugfix release solving a number of issues uncovered since the release of relax 2.2.0 last week. Upgrading to this newest version is highly recommended.
The new relax versions can be downloaded from http://www.nmr-relax.com/download.html. If binary distributions are not yet available for your platform and you manage to compile the binary modules, please consider contributing these to the relax project (described in section 3.6 of the relax manual, http://www.nmr-relax.com/manual/relax_distribution_archives.html).
Full list of changes
- Replaced a reference to freshmeat with Freecode in the Release checklist document. Freshmeat no longer exists and is now called Freecode (http://freecode.com/projects/nmr-relax).
- Created the Mf.test_bug_20464_missing_ri_data system test to catch bug #20464. The data comes from the bug report submitted by Stanislava Panova (stpanova att gmail dot com).
- Created the Structure.test_bug_sr_2998_broken_conect_records system test. This is to catch the bug reported as service request #2998 (https://gna.org/support/?2998) and is for corrupted PDB files with broken CONECT records.
- Created the Structure.test_bug_20469_scientific_parser_xray_records system test. This is to catch bug #20469.
- Created the Structure.test_bug_20470_alternate_location_indicator system test to catch bug #20470.
- Created the Structure.test_alt_loc_missing system test. This is to test that the internal relax PDB reader raises an error when a PDB file is encountered with alternate location indicators but the alt_loc argument has not been specified.
- Created the Bmrb.test_bug_20471_structure_present to catch bug #20471.
- Modified the bmrb.read documentation to make it clearer that the data pipe must be empty.
- Python 3 fix for a print statement in the metal_pos_opt.py N-state model system test script.
- Python 3 fix for the part of ScientificPython distributed with relax (for the PDB parser).
- Python 3 import fixes for the GUI.
- Python 3 fixes for the list sort() method - this has been replaced by the builtin sorted() function.
- Fix for bug #20464 - the model-free analysis failure with missing relaxation data. The problem was the previously missing data had a value of None whereas now the dictionary element can be missing. Checks have been added to make sure the spin specific relaxation data structures have the key corresponding to the data.
- Fix for the N_state_model.test_monte_carlo_sims system test. On certain systems, the chi2 check is too stringent.
- Fix for the bug reported as the support request sr #2998 (https://gna.org/support/?2998). CONECT records pointing to non-existent atoms can now be handled.
- Fix for bug #20469. This is the Failure in reading X-ray PDB files using the ScientificPython parser. The ScientificPython Geometry.Transformation module is now distributed with relax. Some linear algebra imports in the Geometry.TensorModule in newly used code paths have been fixed as well.
- Fix for bug #20470. The structure.read_pdb user function now accepts the alt_loc argument for specifying the alternate location indicator to read. This is used by the internal PDB reader. The bug was caught by the Structure.test_bug_20470_alternate_location_indicator system test.
- Fix for bug #20471 - the is_empty() AttributeError when reading BMRB files. The problem was that the data pipe is_empty() method was not handling structural data correctly. The is_empty() method now belongs to the MolContainer objects rather than cdp.structure, and the object cdp.structure is not always present.

By Dennis Seid/NEMS Daily Journal
Renasant Corp. will become the state's fourth-largest bank by deposits with its acquisition of First M&F Corp.
The deal, announced Thursday, is a $119 million stock transaction, with First M&F shareholders getting 0.6425 shares of Renasant stock for each share of M&F stock.
Both companies' boards have approved the deal, which still must meet shareholder and regulatory approval. Renasant expects to close the merger by the third quarter of this year.
However, the bigger question will be how the merger will affect overlapping operations of Renasant and M&F branches.
Seven of M&F's 36 branches are within a mile of a Renasant branch, and 13 are within 5 miles.
Renasant has 75 offices in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. First M&F's locations are in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee.
"During this transition, we'll look at every location and carefully review several factors to determine their strategic fit," said John Oxford, Renasant's director of external affairs.
The merger is expected to result in cost savings of $12 million a year.
Remaining M&F locations will adopt the Renasant brand.
With the merger, Renasant said it will double the size of its insurance operations and strengthen its mortgage and wealth management divisions.
"This merger creates a stronger Renasant franchise that allows for not only new market entries and additional branch locations within our legacy markets, but provides the realization of significant cost savings through strategic branch consolidations and future earnings growth by combining two strongly competitive community banking institutions," said Renasant Chairman, President and CEO Robin McGraw.
First M&F Chairman and CEO Hugh Potts Jr. will remain in a management role after the merger, Renasant said.
The combined company will have $5.8 billion in total assets and $4.9 billion in total deposits. Renasant accounts for the bulk of the figures, with $4.2 billion in assets and $3.5 billion in deposits.
Renasant said the merger would grow its market share in Birmingham and Memphis, as well as "key" Mississippi markets in Tupelo, Oxford and Starkville.
In its home base of Lee County, Renasant already has the largest market share with 36 percent. Adding First M&F's operations will give it a 43 percent slice.
Renasant (Nasdaq: RNST) shares closed Thursday at $18.96, down 48 cents.

Trending in Big D: unusual lamb cuts. Pot de crème? That's so 2010.
My friend S. Irene Virbila, restaurant critic at the Los Angeles Times, wrote an interesting post on that paper's food blog over the weekend. Unusual lamb cuts, she writes, are trending in L.A.: "…not just lamb sirloin or scottadito (tiny chops to pick up by the bone and nibble) but lamb belly, lamb tongue, lamb brains and a cut I'm seeing more and more, lamb neck."
Funny — lamb cuts are trending in Dallas, too! Maybe not the same cuts — lately I've come across lamb breast at both Central 214 and Campo Modern Country Bistro, and lamb sweetbreads at Campo, too.
S. Irene also mentions two other L.A. trends: pots de crème and Canadian poutine. Ha! — We've got L.A. beat on the first. A year and a half ago we were seeing sumptuous pots de crème everywhere — I wrote about it in a Table Talk column in November, 2010. As for Canadian poutine — french fries and cheese curds smothered in gravy — it's not exactly all over Dallas menus. Yet, anyway. Next big food trend of 2012?

Wildlife Department Adds Newest WMA thanks to Legacy Permits and State Wildlife Grants
Oklahoma's sportsmen will soon have access to an all new wildlife management area (WMA) in western Oklahoma thanks to funds from fishing and hunting legacy permit sales and the State Wildlife Grants Program. The new tract, to be known as Cimarron Bluff WMA, is located about 15 miles east of Buffalo and comprises 3,402 acres of prime mixed grass prairie habitat adjoining the Cimarron River in eastern Harper County.
The property was purchased with money earned through the sale of fishing and hunting legacy permits and State Wildlife Grants funds. The fishing and hunting legacy permit is a $5 permit required of most annual license holders who hunt, fish or trap, or attempt to take fish or wildlife in any manner. Funds derived from the sale of legacy permits are used by the Department to purchase or lease property for public fishing and hunting.
The State Wildlife Grants program is a federal cost-share program that was initiated in Congress in 2000. It provides funding to state wildlife agencies like the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation for distribution among universities, conservation groups and other state agencies in order to develop more effective conservation programs for rare and declining species.
"Up to this point, most of the money allocated to Oklahoma through the State Wildlife Grants program has been used for wildlife surveys," said Russ Horton, lands and wildlife diversity supervisor for the Wildlife Department. "And while these things are a necessary part of sound wildlife management, this purchase represents an on-the-ground approach to acquiring and restoring wildlife habitat. A number of wildlife species, including some identified in Oklahoma's Wildlife Action Plan as a species of greatest conservation need will directly benefit from the habitat on Cimarron Bluff WMA."
Unique species for which the purchased land can provide habitat are, among others, the Texas horned lizard, lesser prairie chicken, western massasauga snake, long-nosed snake, Bell's vireo, long-billed curlew, loggerhead shrike and western big-eared bat. In all, over 50 species of special management concern in Oklahoma will benefit from habitat management activities at Cimarron Bluff.
The property adjoins the Cimarron river, providing potential habitat for an additional variety of species such as the Arkansas River shiner, Arkansas darter, interior least tern and whooping crane.
"This purchase reflects the Wildlife Department's commitment to broaden our scope of management and actively manage for all wildlife species," Horton said.
In addition, hunting will be offered, more than likely in the form of controlled hunts for deer this fall, and spring turkey season will be open starting in 2009 with a one-tom limit. The area will be open to small game hunting (including quail) during the fall of 2008. At it's April meeting, the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission approved emergency rules to establish hunting seasons on the area, and complete regulations will be outlined in the "2008-09 Oklahoma Hunting Guide."
Cimarron Bluff consists mostly of gently rolling hills covered with native mixed grass prairie. Grasses like bluestem, Indian grass and sideoats grama along with sand plum, sand sagebrush and sumac cover the area, as well as a range of forbs. These upland sites provide habitat for a number of traditional game species such as deer, turkey, quail and furbearers. Deer and turkey hunting will be limited to controlled hunts and will have a one-tom limit during turkey season, and quail hunting will end at noon each day during quail season.
"Harper County produces big deer," said Alan Peoples, chief of wildlife for the Wildlife Department. "All hunters know that, and there is potential to harvest a quality deer on the area. I expect turkey and quail hunting opportunities as well. Regulations and more information will be included in the Wildlife Department's '2008-09 Oklahoma Hunting Guide,' which will be available this summer."
Several ponds, including one 12.5-acre pond that offers excellent fishing opportunity, dot the area for a near 30 acres of ponds. The habitat associated with the adjacent Cimarron River provides crucial habitat for numerous species.
Regulations for using the area will be available in the future. Keep up to date by regularly logging on to the Department's Web site at wildlifedepartment.com. The Web site also offers a full listing and description of wildlife management areas across the state.

Rant mode.. bgeiger: about 'chicks digging assholes'. Lots of so called "nice guys" claim this in complaint ("why does nobody like meeee?"), and it's a particularly unpleasant thing to say about a whole gender. I've always been annoyed by the statement. If some women really prefer assholes why care about these women enough to even talk about them? They'd be idiots if they deliberately seek out people who will hurt them; we're not saying 'chicks are idiots', though, are we?
Many women like confidence of course, just like most people do in general. May it be that some people perpetuate the myth of women liking assholes because they're envious of these confident men? Sometimes too it takes a second glance to make the distinction between confidence and self-centeredness (if a guy is with a new woman every night, perhaps this is because the women keep dropping him like a stone?). But most women are not idiots!
Note that I'm not trying to imply that you (bgeiger) reason in such ways, you just set off my rant. My only goal is to eradicate this annoying myth from the planet. :) Well, at least to make people reading this think about this a bit more.
Some interesting analysis, rants (if you haven't had enough with mine), perspectives and perhaps even enlightenment on the whole topic can be found here. Fascinating site by the way; the 'weak of the week' section in particular is hilarious and demonstrates how astoundingly nasty and stupid some individuals seem to be...(and to get back to the original topic, slashdot is another good place to learn about these :)

'I Hate Hamlet': Barrymore's ghost haunts CSF this summer ... with laughs
June 6, 2014
You might say the ghost of the great Shakespearean actor John Barrymore is haunting the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. Twice, actually—but in a good way.
For one thing, the ghost of Barrymore—the iconic 20th-century film and stage actor whose portrayals of Hamlet are among the greatest in history—is a central character in Paul Rudnick's comedy, I Hate Hamlet, which opens June 13. In the play, Barrymore's ghost hilariously haunts, torments and instructs a slick young actor from Hollywood who has accepted the role of Hamlet at New York's Shakespeare in the Park.
For another, a CSF dramaturg researching the play this winter stumbled upon the world's largest collection of Barrymore letters, photos and artifacts, all but forgotten for decades in the special collections at the University of Colorado Boulder's Norlin Library.
"This a remarkable find about a remarkable man," says Tim Orr, CSF's producing artistic director, who is directing I Hate Hamlet. "This is a truly serendipitous discovery."
The tale begins in the dark days of December, when Roxxy Duda began doing her dramaturg thing—researching background to provide context for the play to the director, actors and audiences. She happened across a throwaway reference to some Barrymore materials donated to the university by theater write Gene Fowler, the actor's friend and first biographer, and thought she'd check it out.
When she visited Norlin's special collections, she found that the collection was no trifle. There were some 40 boxes of invaluable archival materials. The boxes contained everything from the actor's birth certificate to the contents of his wallet when he died in 1942, to financial records, hundreds of photos, personal writing and sketches, and original correspondence to such 20th-century artistic luminaries as George Bernard Shaw, Zane Grey and Greta Garbo.
"It's a treasure chest of primary sources that make the life of Barrymore come alive," says Duda, a graduate student in the Department of Theatre and Dance. "Many of these boxes hadn't been opened in decades and in some cases it was the first time they had been touched by someone other than the archivists since their donation."
Although Barrymore had no notable Colorado connections, Fowler was a Denver native who attended CU-Boulder in 1910-11 and was awarded an honorary master of letters in 1947. He worked for many years as a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post, and befriended Barrymore after interviewing him for the New York American in 1918. In 1944 Fowler published "Good Night, Sweet Prince: The Life and Times of John Barrymore."
Fowler died in 1960 at age 70. His family donated his personal papers, including the long-hidden Barrymore archive, to CU-Boulder in 1962.
"This is a marvelous rediscovery of a jewel of a collection," says Bruce P. Montgomery, director of archives and special collections.
For the director, actors and designers of "I Hate Hamlet," the find is more than just a curiosity. The cast attended a special exhibit on the first day of rehearsal in May, coming away with a deeper understanding of a complex man—he smoked, philandered, divorced and drank often—who also was a quintessential Shakespearean artist.
"Seeing all these personal documents, sketches and letters offers incredible, helpful insight to who he really was," says Sam Gregory, who will portray Barrymore this summer. "You might expect to find this in New York or L.A., so it's amazing to have found all this in Boulder. This is going to really make his story come alive for me, and for audiences."
"This is like the frosting on top of the cake for us, with a million cherries," says Alex Esola, who will play Andrew, the young actor. "We are so lucky to have this right here."

As the janitor of RTF, I'm sure that it comes as no surprise to users that I do not care for much of the dialogue that takes place on this subforum.
Due to my lack of interest in political debate, I don't read this subforum like I do the main board. It has been brought to my attention, and I've also seen evidence during my occasional viewing of POTUS Place, that there's a false perception among some of RTF's users.
POTUS Place does not have a different standard, regarding acceptable culture, from the main RTF forum. Respectful, non-attacking exchanges are still required on this subforum. Defamatory, profane, demeaning, pornographic, and similar content is still outside the RTF limits on this subforum.
RTF and its forums are not about me or my personal preferences. RTF is for the use of its members to respectfully exchange information and viewpoints. It was for this reason, that the POTUS Place subforum was created. It is a spot for those of you who enjoy discussing political issues in the gallery, to do so while still in the confines of good ol' RTF.
Those crossing the line (the stuff referenced in bold print above) are prone to account locking and usage privelege termination.
Please, all, have fun on RTF. But please refer to others here as you yourself would like others to address yourself.
Sincere thanks,

LAS VEGAS — A top aide to Mitt Romney said President Barack Obama's new emphasis to describe his agenda for a second term is a sign of panic.
Briefing reporters aboard Romney's plane en route to Las Vegas where Romney is holding a campaign event, senior adviser Kevin Madden declared it a "glossy panic button."
"I would say that it is a glossy panic button," repeating the phrase for effect, when asked by reporters about the 20-page booklet released by the Obama campaign this morning with sections like "Building an Economy from the Middle Class Out" and "Moving America Forward."
Romney aides have grown more confident of victory in recent days, as recent polling has put the campaign on the rise in several must-win swing states, as well as nationally.
As for the Romney plan for the next 14 days, Madden said Romney would be visiting the key battleground states over and over again.
"You know where we feel like we've got some really great momentum and where you know we need to make sure we turn out as many voters as possible that are supporting the governor," he told reporters. "So we're going to be in places like Colorado, Nevada, Iowa. We'll be back to Florida I expect. Virginia. You know these next 14 days we're going to be very busy. We're going to be in multiple states in single days. I think the governor right now is really focused. I think he's really energized and he's looking forward to it."
Asked about Florida turning in Romney's direction, Madden said the campaign believes it's theirs to stay.
"Florida's one of those states, it's like a freight liner, and once it turns – and I think it's turned – it's hard to turn back," he said.
- Thousands of people hit the streets Saturday to participate in the People's Climate March, a protest against Trump's environmental policies.
- Today is Trump's 100th day in office. We found an average of about one false statement per day from him and his aides so far 💯
- Turkey's government has blocked users in the country from visiting Wikipedia, in yet another crackdown on free speech.
- Will Ferrell showed up to a special taping of Samantha Bee's "Not The White House Correspondents Dinner" as George W. Bush.

Treat yourself to a taste of Bavaria with this slow-cooker beef roast, which calls for just 15 minutes prep time. Sauerkraut, caraway seed and stone-ground mustard play into the tasty theme.
Prefer tangy sauerkraut? Use the regular flavor instead of the sweeter Bavarian-style.
Create a full German menu with this roast, spaetzle (the traditional German dumpling) or buttered egg noodles, a spinach salad with bacon dressing and crusty rolls.
Serve the sliced beef on pumpernickel bread spread with hearty German mustard and topped with the sauerkraut mixture.

Itawamba AHS did as it pleased in a 48-13 win at Corinth last Friday to open Division 1-4A play.
Division play continues Friday night for the Indians against visiting Shannon. The Red Raiders are 2-4 overall but 1-0 in the division.
"They've played a tough early schedule and I think some people have kind of written them off because of their record," IAHS coach Toby Collums said. "I watched film Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and every time I watch them, they get better."
Shannon operates a two-quarterback system with John Thomas Peugh and Duane Gilleylen.
The two have combined for 952 passing yards and 13 touchdowns.
"You don't go with two different game plans but you respect different things about both of them," Collums said. "The big sophomore running back they've got, he's good. He's legitimate and both linebackers are good. Gilleylen is in on every tackle. You've got to know where that kid is at all times. Plus coach (Darryl) Carter does a good job. With that much speed and good leadership, it makes things difficult."
Shannon sophomore Diamante Pounds is nearing 1,000 yards with 879 on 127 carries.
Turning the corner
Carter likes what he sees happening. The Red Raiders had more than 500 yards of offense Friday and have recently averaged more than 400. Shannon is trying to fight off a turnover bug that hit early.
Itawamba (6-0, 1-0) is giving up 12 points a game. Leading tackler Reginald White has three sacks.
The Indians use one quarterback, Tyler Dossett, but two in the backfield with Ashton Shumpert and Charles Moore. Moore (811) and Shumpert (590 in three games) have combined for 1,401 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Dossett has seven touchdown passes. Brico Burgess has a team-high 203 yards on 12 catches for a pair of touchdowns.
"We're not focused on one kid or two kids," Carter said. "My main concern is us getting lined up and trying to get a division win. They're doing a good job over there and we're trying to get it going. We've been doing some good stuff."

Updated on 8 January 2013
With big pharma already reducing its R&D budgets to fight the patent cliff and rising costs, the budget cut for government bodies could make the situation worse in terms of new and innovative research taking place in the field. University labs will be forced to work on shoe-string budgets halting research programs. It could also hugely affect clinical trial programs with demand rising for faster and more efficient trials.
The upside of Obamacare Act
Even as medical devices and drug companies fight pricing pressures due to increase in taxes and reduction in R&D budgets, the promise of an increase in the number of patients, as the US government expands its health insurance cover, will offset some of the losses to be incurred by the industry. The companies, however, are not hopeful that it would mean any kind of windfall gain for them.
The new Act is also expected to boost the sale of generics which in turn could mean a boon for the generics companies located in Asia, especially India, that are exporting to the US.
US President Barack Obama has hailed the deal reached as "just one step in the broader effort to strengthen the economy". Only time will tell if the US economy will avert another downward slide at the beginning of March 2013.

chinese democracy
I was never really a huge Guns N' Roses fan, except for maybe a two week period around the time I first heard "Sweet Child O' Mine", which is still one of my favorite 70s pop songs to not come out in the 70s. Still, I spent enough time waiting for My Bloody Valentine to put out the successor to Loveless to develop an appreciation for musicians disappearing off into the woods to labor, forlornly and obsessively, on some envisioned magnum opus that may never come together.
So I felt obligated to check out Chinese Democracy, and my conclusion is that it's worth checking out. It's a magnificent folly, where by "folly" I mean something like the Winchester Mystery House. It's overstuffed, clearly a product of overweening ambition and a prodigious amount of labor, and in the end it's inevitably unsatisfying. I guess the real news is that Axl Rose was able to produce something listenable and interesting after working and reworking it so many times over the year: the songwriting is uniformly strong and he still has one of the finest singing voices in hard rock.
My favorite thing about it is probably something that drives a number of other people crazy: he's had a multitude of guitarists work with him, and random little squiggles of soloing pop up all over the whole album. Since many of these ornaments come out of the fevered imagination of Buckethead – in my opinion, one of the best guitarists of all time – they often overshadow the rest of the music, but speaking as someone who was, for years and years, bored to death of guitar solos, I pretty much love how excessive it all is.
Also, Axl still hasn't gotten over his crush on 70s Paul McCartney, so gratuitous string sections and piano bridges and syrupy, sentimental verses abound. We're about 10,000 light years from Appetite for Destruction here, but given how this is pretty much an Axl Rose joint, that seems appropriate to me. It's not 1989 anymore.
What I most emphatically do not love is the mastering of the record. Whomever mastered this thing was clearly thinking of car stereos and iPods, because the dynamics are veritably crushed into a brick wall. It's weird hearing all this (over)detailed music so brutally flattened, and it definitely sabotages the good-time 70s AOR vibe Rose seems to be reaching for in many places.
Anyway, like a lot of long-delayed projects there's no way Chinese Democracy can live up to all its crazy hype, but at least it doesn't suck. One should be thankful for small favors.

"Taking back" Wisconsin's unused medications
Saturday marked drug "take back" day
MONONA, Wis. - There's a nationwide push to get old prescription drugs out of the home, and pharmacists and police are teaming up in Wisconsin to do the same.
Saturday marked Drug "Take Back" Day, and The Medicine Shoppe in Monona opened its doors to people wanting to get rid of their unused medications the right way.
"Every time we do it, we get at least two cardboard boxes full of loose medications that are basically taken off the streets, out of people's homes," pharmacy manager Eric Hewitt said.
On top of organizing the set up of those collections, Hewitt said the store participates in a program that reaches out to students, parents, and the community's elderly to educate them about the dangers of prescription drug use.16793482
"It may start with a prescription medication," Hewitt explained. "Not only might you become addicted to that medication, but then it can go to more illicit street drugs."
Hewitt would like to see more people take advantage of the drug drop-off events, but said it's tough for a business to front the money to market something with no profitable return.
"We do what we can to get word of mouth," Hewitt said.
Hewitt also referred to a number of recent studies that show the conventional method of flushing drugs down the toilet can contaminate the environment. He said traces of those medications have also been found in drinking water.
Monona Police officer Adam Nachreiner stood by as people dumped out pills and tossed bottles. Law enforcement is required to be at this kind of event, and is charged with taking care of the drugs once collection wraps up.
"High school kids to college are abusing more and more," officer Nachreiner said.
Nachreiner said the way those students are getting high makes it even more dangerous.
"There's a lot of what they call 'pharm parties' now where they get pharmaceutical pills and throw them into a bowl. You see this at high school, college parties," Nachreiner said. "That's what they're starting to trend to. And they don't even know what they're taking."
The Wisconsin State Council on Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse put out a report earlier this year which criticized the inconsistencies in accessible medication disposal across the state. The report cited some communities with drop boxes, others with annual or bi-annual events, and others with mail-back programs. It goes on to recommend a "coordinated statewide system" for drug disposal as a part of a more large-scale set of suggestions.
Hewitt puts at least part of the blame on doctors, who he said often prescribe much more of a medicine than a patient actually needs.
"People don't want to go back to the pharmacy to pay another co-pay, so the doctors are more likely to maybe prescribe a few more pills so they don't have to go," Hewitt noted.
Hewitt also notices people keeping old, sometimes expired medications around the house in case they may need it in the future. He said that is a bad idea.
"The best thing you can do is just get it out of your homes," Hewitt explained. "Self-prescribing, self-diagnosing is not a practice that we, you know, recommend or suggest is a good idea. And so, taking these medications out of the homes avoids the potential for doing that."
According to Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, the Drug Enforcement Administration reported 18.7 tons of prescription medications across Wisconsin for the last "Take Back" Day in April. That made Wisconsin the third largest contributor of unused drugs in the country.

Thread: Bristlenose and Betta
I can't for the life of me keep plecos alive in my tanks. I haven't had an issue with any other fish, but every single plec I've purchased has died within days. Something about my water simply doesn't agree with them.
If your water levels are good, I would recommend upping your corydora numbers (they do better in groups of six or more) and getting rid of the glofish (too active for your tank). For the algae, do you have a planted tank? if you find the right balance between light, CO2 and nutrients, it won't be a problem."The Dumpster Tank" 26g flat back hex - Bolivian rams, Checker barbs, Harlequin and porkchop rasbora, neon tetra, SAE, otocinclus

"Electric Blue Acara Tank" 75g - Giant danio, tiger barb, Bristlenose pleco
I am afraid to add more cories as I I don't want to over load...
Tank is planted but not all fancy. I'm not brave enough to do CO2 and the only ferts I've gotten so far was LeafZone and I use it very sparingly on occasion that I see the need or feel like it. I don't even does that at fullest dosing . I plan on getting rid of glos, although the 3 I have left get along and just bug each other. Basically I am waiting on them dying. Which two of them are getting old (apparent by the slow drop of their backs) If I get down to one I'll give it to mom since she still has a few left but 3 would overload her.
My plants are Java Ferns, Christmas Moss and anubius... maybe something else in there because two of them do not look like Javas but I forgot what I tried ... I killed Wisteria I know. lol I do have a marimo ball stretched out over my driftwood. That driftwood with the anubius hanging over it gives just enough room for my cories to hide in... but I have it weighted down with rocks that ended up staying because I liked the look so I doubt I'd have space for that many cories to have a spot.
On the plus side: I was double checking temps late last night after turning light out due to crazy ups and downs in house... so I ended up turning on a light to see temps. Suddenly my oto flies around the tank- you could actually hear it plinking on glass! Poor thing, didn't mean to scare the crap out of it. But then to my surprise... 3 more went flying around. Once they stopped I counted 4 which is what I thought I had. Mom had bought me 5 a few months back and one died within days. 4 out of 5 surviving I felt was good because otos can be very hard to keep alive. I though that again due to my lack of maintenance that I had lost all only to recently find one alive after losing the bristle. So you can imagine how shocked I was to see all 4 last night! I must have done something right and my water must be fairly good if they lived!
To be safe I picked up some Prime today just in case I miss a WC. Petsmart did say that my water was good when I took it in.Decided against adding any new fish as the tetras were not on sale and I got a bit gun shy since my niece just bought some (in Wy) and got ick so yeah... Though I found out they got some beautiful and very tempting bloodfins. They had Cherry barbs on sale I thought about but I looked and couldn't see any in the tank. Otherwise I would have had some of them-- $1 a piece! lol Probably good they were out. :-)Define busy ~

As for pregnancy being stressful- you have no idea. I still have to make decisions from day to day though- pg is no longer a disability .. just makes you forgetful and moody. :-) This one has been hard due to infections and things plus I have two toddlers to deal with. Life doesn't stop- just have to figure out best way to rearrange it. Its almost over - 16 wks left!Define busy ~

What lighting do you have?
Plecos are super messy and if you don't add one, plus get rid of the glofish, you'll have plenty of room to up your corydora stock.
If you don't mind little white dots all over your tank, nerite snails make excellent algae eaters and take up very little bioload."The Dumpster Tank" 26g flat back hex - Bolivian rams, Checker barbs, Harlequin and porkchop rasbora, neon tetra, SAE, otocinclus

For now, all we can recommend is to make water changes as easy as possible for yourself unless you are able to get DH to help you out.
BTW it's not the best thing to rely upon Petsmart to tell you how good your water is because you could bring in tap water and they'll tell you your parameters are fine. The one nearest me said that anything up to 1.0 ammonia is fine - no way Jose! However, if that's all you have at this point, then ask for exact readings the next time so you know if your water changes have been doing the job.
No More SNAILS! Tried mystery snails and I can't keep them alive because of lack of calcium. If my oto's survived then something must be right in there.
Stock lighting btw I forgot what it is but it works on my plants
I do not plan to add anything right now.
I hate to say it but people really don't read around here.
MY MOTHER bought the bristle. I did not. It was a birthday present.
I have tested water before to have it perfect even with a missed change because of my plants. I was not asking WHY the bristle died.
I asked if he was ok with a betta so that IF I ever get another one I know it wasn't the betta or anything else.
So to those who actually read and helped, Thank you. Those that keep skipping and condemning me for not having water testers RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT - Bug off... with all respect. Seriously? Are we all a bunch of lonely adults that Have NO OTHER responsibilities but can just buy 100's of tanks, test kits, and everything else? I have ONE tank. ONE. I take care of my animals but MY CHILDREN COME FIRST. This time around for baby I am doing drop in bottles so I'm stocking on them, diapers, new clothes because I've never had a summer baby, and my oldest is going to school this fall and needs new clothes. We get by but its not always easy. With me being sick and stressed it's REALLY not easy. So to be honest I am tired of having to defend myself on here just because I didn't test my water. Fish DIE ALL THE TIME... its not always something we did.. it sometimes just happens. The Bristle lived 3 days to my knowledge-- stress from store? Didn't eat? Was old? was sick? Who knows for sure? I am not tried to be rude here but seriously people need to get a grip on what's more important. I'm not making excuses for not doing tank when I should have. Or not having a test kit when I just had Christmas and 3 birthdays to deal with along with being in pain 24/7.
So again, thanks to those who are understanding and truely helping. My algae isn't oh so bad and I did do a black out for a few days and that helped me get front cleaned. I leave back and sides for otos.
BTW- I managed to get a test kit. Ammonia - 0 nitrite- 0 nitrate under 5Define busy ~

A one-of-a-kind cheesecake featuring the bright, fresh flavors of a favorite fruit!
Key limes, grown in Florida, are smaller and rounder than the common, more familiar green--or Persian--limes, and their color is more yellow than green. Although Key limes are less widely available than common limes, bottled Key lime juice is generally available. Either lime works well in this recipe.
Be sure to beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until it is completely smooth before adding the remaining ingredients.

Family: Vireonidae, Vireos view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has a black hood, and white lores and mask surrounding red eye. Back and rump are greenish, dark wings have two pale wing bars and pale fringes to inner flight feathers, and underparts are whitish, palest on throat with buff wash on flanks. ADULT FEMALE Similar, but hood is dark gray. JUVENILE Recalls adult female, but has browner plumage overall and dull eye.
Dimensions Length: 4 1/2 -4 3/4" (11-12 cm)
Endangered Status The Black-capped Vireo is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered throughout its range in Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. In recent years this vireo has become rare, mainly because its nesting has been disrupted by cowbirds. These notorious nest parasites remove eggs from a vireo's nest and deposit their own eggs in their place. The young cowbirds are so much larger than the host bird's young that they crowd and starve them out. The loss and alteration of its habitat, mainly by humans, has also affected this species. Programs are underway in Texas and Oklahoma to prevent cowbird parasitism, by trapping the birds and removing their eggs from other birds' nests.
Habitat Local and endangered summer visitor (mainly Apr-Aug) to scrub-covered rocky ground with sumac and oaks in Texas; dense, ungrazed new growth is ideal. Habitat destruction and nest parasitism by Brown-headed Cowbird have aided decline. Winters in Mexico.
Observation Tips Listen for the distinctive song.
Range Texas, Plains
Voice Song comprises warbling phrases such as fzz-ch'ch'ch-chee with pauses between; calls include a harsh zrree.
Discussion Distinctive vireo. Forages among foliage and gleans insects while hovering. Sexes are dissimilar.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Eligible Northeast Mississippians in most of our region's municipalities vote in primaries for city offices on Tuesday, the first ballot in a three-step process leading to new administrations for the next four years, starting in late June or early July.
Runoffs by party primary for all elective positions, as needed, will be held May 21, and the general election is set for June 4.
Municipal elections are intensely local because participation is limited to a relatively small geographic space, and subdivisions like wards often approximate the equivalent of a neighborhood political system, especially in smaller towns.
The rise of a competitive two-party system statewide in some instances has increased the number of candidates seeking nominations, which broadens voter appeal. However, even in larger municipalities like Tupelo some candidates face neither primary nor general election opposition.
Municipal elections bring the priorities of governance close to the people. Nowhere are decisions about the future more important than in towns and cities that feel the impact of every current of change, positive or negative.
The past is not recoverable, but every community's future is malleable.
History proves that towns and cities seeking only the status quo doom themselves to decline.
Voting helps make progress possible.
It's never inappropriate to remember that full voting rights for all eligible citizens have been attained only in the past century, and for thousands of African-American Northeast Mississippians, less than 50 years ago.
History won voting rights. Voting empowers the future.
President Lyndon Johnson, in his famous 1965 voting rights speech to a joint congressional session, said, "Every device of which human ingenuity is capable, has been used to deny this right."
Today, the most common device disempowering voting is not voting by personal choice.
The Daily Journal believes in the power and compelling necessity of voting. We make a major commitment to coverage of campaigns and election results across Northeast Mississippi.
It important, too, to see voting rights as an evolving constitutional and legal process.
Colorado, for example, is on the cusp of approving a voting rights expansion bill that would implement same-day registration and voting, automatically send mail-in ballots to every voter, and create a real-time statewide voter database to prevent fraud. Proponents view the bill, written by a bipartisan group of county clerks, as a national model for other states, published stories noted.
Those promoting the changes said the state could take the lead nationally on making elections more convenient to voters.
Colorado election clerks said switching to mail will mean buying less equipment to operate and maintain for an ever-shrinking number of people who still vote in person. That could save millions of dollars in some counties over a longer period.
Mississippi, moving forward, should at least consider what it can do to make voting easier and more accessible because conditions influencing voting or not voting change, and adaptation is often the better course.

Anyone noticed how hard it can be to collect star wars figures? Especially if you are a 13 year old kid like me. I know that there aren't that many hardcore Star Wars fans that are 13. My collection of unopened figs is about at 100 now, I recently started not opening them. So my loose figure count is very high.
It annoys me so much how hasbro can distribute so many figures that are practially the same. For example there is normal Anakin, then there is Anakin with podracing gear, then there is Anakin with Naboo Starfighter gear, etc. And I know that no one is forcing me to buy these figures, but I get this feeling like my collection is incomplete without them, and then I buy them.
I have started to hold back on these figures more now, and I think that after I have gotten all of the figures from the POTJ series that I like, I am done collecting.
Well, let me rephrase that, I am done collecting figures from previous lines. I will be saving up to get all of the Episode II figures, but I am not holding back, I am buying a product the day or week it comes out. This way I can get a fresh new start!
And one other thing, does anybody agree with me that hasbro should come out with a classic trilogy line? I mean nothing HUGE, just a line of the basic figures from the original trilogy, re-sculpted, and better than ever. Any thoughts, and does anyone have suggestions on my new collecting strategy?

Took some Benadryl last night due to a headache and random ailments, probably some allergy or something... Knocked me out hard until noon, and I had weird dreams about fist-fighting Rush Limbaugh. I won. If I don't get up by 11:00, Rush comes on the radio, and then I have to either turn off the alarm and get up, turn it off and go back to bed, or just go back to sleep. This morning I went back to sleep. It's funny how much outside stimuli can affect dreams. I'll have to experiment with looped tapes of random things some day.
Wow, big old flamewar on g-h. I guess my opinion is that widgets and so forth should be put where they belong. Gnome-Canvas is a widget that doesn't contribute to GNOME policy, so it should go in Gtk+. Gnome-dialog does, so it should stay. Libgnomeui is about policy, from what miguel says. Gtk+ is about widgets. Oh well.

The Eco Challenge race has always been an event that draws my attention. It is a test of outdoor skills and endurance.
The race in 2008 is right here in my backyard… The HQ for the Challenge is in my hometown of Troutdale, OR. The event will take place from Mt. Hood, Oregon to Astoria, Oregon on both Bike and Kayak.
You can learn more about Eco Challenge, the Race, and competitors here.
This year all of the competitors are women. 3 of them are from the Portland area. They will compete in 2, 4 women teams.
Great quote from the Eco Challenge Website:
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors…we borrow it from OUR children"- native American proverb (courtesy meet the planet)
While I do not agree with EVERYTHING the Eco Challenge organization stands for, I appreciate their zeal for the outdoors and our wilderness areas, I love their passion of outdoor back country skills, and I like that they turn it into a competition.

Reality Check: TV ad calls Falk 'best' choice for governor
Ad focuses on Falk's time as Dane County executive
MADISON, Wis. - The independent group Wisconsin for Falk is running a TV ad calling Democrat Kathleen Falk the "best" choice for governor.
Falk and three other Democrats are vying for the party's nomination to take on Republican Gov. Scott Walker in a June recall election.
The information in the ad casts a rosy light on Falk's time as Dane County executive.
"Kathleen Falk, the first woman to become Dane County executive," the ad says. "She balanced the budget 14 years in a row."
WISC-TV found this needs clarification. Falk was the first woman to hold this office, but Falk, or any county executive past, present or future, is legally required to balance the budget every year.
People may agree or disagree with how Falk balanced the budget, but simply balancing the county budget is something any county executive would have to do.
"During tough times Falk brought in 26,000 new jobs," says the ad.
WISC-TV found this needs clarification. The ad doesn't say when this happened, or how Falk attracted the jobs.
When Wisconsin for Falk was asked to back up its claims, it pointed to state labor numbers showing there were 26,000 more people working in 2011 when Falk stepped down than when she entered the office in 1997. But there were 10,000 more unemployed people, too. The county's total population grew over those 14 years. A more accurate picture is the unemployment rate, which started at 1.6 percent in 1997, rose to around 3.5 percent for seven of her years in office and ended around 5 percent.
How did she "bring these jobs in"? While the group didn't point to any specific initiative, it said that employers are "attracted to a county with good fiscal management."
"She worked with unions and saved taxpayers $10 million without taking away workers' rights," the ad says.
Although it's not stated in the ad, for this claim the ad is citing a period of three years where Falk negotiated pay cuts and changes to insurance plans that led to about a $10 million savings in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
