a blog about music, visual arts, entertainment and everything in between
by tamara hilmes, intern
Rain, rain, go away, the sun'll come out tomorrow, don't you rain on my parade...is anyone else getting sick of this weather? After spending last week at home in the Midwest (some of you may have noticed my brief hiatus from the blogosphere), "where the sky is not cloudy all day," I have to say, it's quite depressing to return to the extremely cloudy and rainy state that Vermont has become. Despite the gloomy scene framed in my window, I refuse to let this influx of gray put a damper on my summer activities. And I'm not the only one--the folks over at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival taking place at Kingsland Bay State Park this weekend aren't throwing in the towel just yet. The three-day music festival begins this afternoon, Friday, July 31, and continues through Sunday. With over 127 separate events including musical acts, contra dances, workshops and sessions, so much planning has gone into this festival that a raincheck is simply not an option.
Vermont has always harbored a strong folk music tradition, and this weekend Addison County will celebrate this melodically symbiotic relationship with three days devoted to fiddlers, accordion players, banjos pluckers and more. But with 127 different events to choose from, how will you ever decide which ones are worth your while? Though you will likely not be disappointed regardless of which you choose to attend, this Addison Independent intern has decided to create a guide to ease your decision-making process, a little something we like to call
from the Champlain Valley Folk Festival
Rather than merely posting the overly complex and stress-evoking grid-like schedule found on the Festival web site, check out the calendar below for times and locations of all festival events, listed by day. And for the really faint of heart, just take a peek at the following suggestions for how to make the most of this fabulously folksy festival:
This Boston-based trio blends three strains of traditional folk music into one melodic mix of Grand Isles meets Quebec with sounds straight from the Appalacian trail. Along with weaving together a number of influences, the band also threads a wide array of instruments through their music. From ba njo, to cittern, to flute, accordion, banjo, piano, cello and fiddle, these three seem to do it all.
Check out their myspace here.
with Paula Bradley
5:00-5:30 p.m., Lakefront
12:00-12:45, Champlain
Robert Resnik, host of "All the Traditions" on Vermont Public Radio, sho ws off hi s accordion skills along with N. Williams and D. Barthiaume. If you thought you were great at multitasking, just wait until you see these guys pushing buttons, playing keys, creating separate rythyms with both hands, all while moving the bellows in and out.

Look at these quotes below, from anti-gerrymandering opinions in the previous case. It's 'sometimes it does not', 'is sufficiently demonstrable', or 'sole motivator'. They are looking at degrees.
They are all accepting that partisan considerations are allowed in the process, but they are (in different ways) trying to pin down when it becomes too much in a way that a court can rule on,by tieing it to equal protection.
The use of purely political considerations in drawing district boundaries is not a "necessary evil" that, for lack of judicially manageable standards, the Constitution inevitably must tolerate. Rather, pure politics often helps to secure constitutionally important democratic objectives. But sometimes it does not. [...]
However equal districts may be in population as a formal matter, the consequence of a vote cast can be minimized or maximized, Karcher v. Daggett, 462 U. S. 725, 734, n. 6 (1983), and if unfairness is sufficiently demonstrable, the guarantee of equal protection condemns it as a denial of substantial equality.
In my view, when partisanship is the legislature's sole motivation—when any pretense of neutrality is forsaken unabashedly and all traditional districting criteria are subverted for partisan advantage—the governing body cannot be said to have acted impartially.

A previous version of the chart on long-term joblessness had an incorrect label.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said Monday that the recovery still feels like a recession to many Americans, which is why the central bank will keep its "extraordinary" support for the economy for "some time to come."
In a speech to a Chicago community reinvestment conference, Yellen also provided evidence why there's still slack in the jobs market, and weighed in on the hot issue of why the participation rate is so low.
The speech may come as a bit newsier than the market expected. Yellen expanded on the reasons she believes there are significant more people willing and capable to filling a job than there are jobs for them. Read related blog: just how dovish was the speech?
Yellen also provided three real-life examples of people impacted by the jobs crisis, and emphasized that "although we work through financial markets, our goal is to help Main Street, not Wall Street."
She noted there are 7 million people working part time but who would like a full-time job. "This number is much larger than we would expect at 6.7% unemployment, based on past experience, and the existence of such a large pool of 'partly unemployed' workers is a sign that labor conditions are worse than indicated by the unemployment rate." Further, the number of people who voluntarily quit their jobs "is noticeably below levels before the recession."
Yellen also said that the decline in unemployment has not helped raise wages for workers as in past recoveries — saying it's averaging only a little more than 2% a year since the recession. "The low rate of wage growth is, to me, another sign that the Fed's job is not yet done," Yellen said.
She also pointed to the "extraordinary large share" of the unemployed who have been out of work for six months or more. Yellen thinks this pool of labor might return to the jobs market, given that they share some of the same characteristics in terms of occupations and educational attainment as short-term jobless do. "This fact gives me hope that a significant share of the long-term unemployed will ultimately benefit from a stronger labor market," Yellen said.
Finally, Yellen weighed in on a hot topic in economist circles — the reason for the drop in the labor-force participation rate. While the aging of the population is one factor, Yellen said it was not "the only or overwhelming reason for falling participation."
Some retirements are not voluntary, Yellen said, and some of these workers may rejoin the labor force in a stronger economy.
"For the many reasons I have noted today, I think this extraordinary commitment is still needed and will be for some time, and I believe that view is widely shared by my fellow policy makers at the Fed," Yellen said.
That still leaves an opening for the Fed to gradually tighten. In the very next sentence, Yellen said: "In this context, recent steps by the Fed to reduce the rate of new securities purchases are not a lessening of this commitment, only a judgment that recent progress in the labor market means our aid for the recovery need not grow as quickly."
The Fed has gradually reduced its bond purchase plan from as much as $85 billion a month to $55 billion a month.
She said the combined impact of cutting interest rates as far as they can go and buying bonds has lowered longer-term rates. "There is little doubt that without these actions, the recession and slow recovery would have been far worse," Yellen said.

Baseball ready for foes' best shot
News editor
The Marion High School baseball team advanced all the way to the state tournament last year, and because of that experience coach Roger Schroeder expects every opponent to be fired up as the Warriors try to improve on their 2013 season.
"We're going to get everybody's best shot," he said.
Schroeder said his goal for the season is that Marion gives every opponent their best shot in return. He said he wants to win the Heart of America League, regionals, and state, but all of those depend in part on other teams, but the Warriors can control their effort every time they take the field.
The Warriors are an experienced team, with many juniors and seniors in the lineup. Some of the seniors will have played 80 varsity games in high school by the end of the season.
"There's not a thing they haven't seen the past two years," Schroeder said.
They have won big games and lost big games, blown opponents out, and been blown out, he said.
The team lost a lot of pitching experience with the graduation of Jacob Harper, Ethan Hett, and Austin Pedersen, but senior Grif Case has pitched since he was a freshman and has been among the team leaders in innings all three years. Along with Case, Luke Steele and Taylor Heidebrecht will form the core of Marion's pitching.
They don't have the arm strength to strike opponents out with a steady stream of fastballs, but that shouldn't be an issue.
"We don't need to strike everybody out," Schroeder said.
He coaches the pitchers to pitch to contact and count on the team's good defense, which is based on a combination of situational awareness and athleticism.
Steele and Caleb Williams will split time at catcher.
"They call their own games," Schroeder said. "They manage the game from behind the plate."
Steele and Williams will also spend time at third base. Shortstop Dylan Seacat and second baseman Zach Robson have played side-by-side long enough that they have a good rapport on the field.
Case, Heidebrecht, Bret Voth, Jacob Baldwin, and Zac Lewman will handle most outfield duty. Schroeder said they have good speed as a whole, although the team is missing great speed for centerfield. They all have average or better throwing arms to keep base runners honest.
On offense, don't expect the Warriors to hit a lot of home runs. Their home field makes hitting home runs difficult, so the team focuses on hitting line drives to the gaps. The team had 40 doubles and a collective .350 batting average last year, and Schroeder thinks it can hit for even more.
"I think we have a chance to be the best offensive team we've had since I've been here," he said.
The Heart of America League will be challenging, with Inman and Ell-Saline having experience at 2A state last year and a good Sedgwick team. Schroeder also expects the league to be deeper with more competitive teams this year.
The Warriors begin their season Tuesday at Herington. If the season goes according to plan, they'll finish the year May 29 and 30 at Washburn University's Falley Field.

Kevin, can you put me out of my misery, ...
What we now need is for that camera to be found, Leni. And then we need good close-ups of the "rose" canes
Now, shall I make another comment? Yeah, ok ... from the photos of the top and profile views, I suspect the weight has been reground and perhaps quite a bit. The top view shows the design as off-centre, which may be just the way the photo was taken or it could have been a less than decent setting of the canes during the making. But the profile view does show an uneven dome shape with one side being lower than the other.
I'm not sure the camera (or the operator :oops: :roll: ) can manage a good enough close-up! Leni

03 October 2012
Intermodal (road/rail) transport in Europe has grown by 6 % in 2011.
Outlook for 2012 and 2013 is bleak.
UIRR combined transport companies have recorded in 2011 a growth in traffic of 6 % and have come within 3% of their pre-crisis peak of 45,9 billion tonne-kilometres (2008). In terms of consignments shipped (one consignment equals 2 TEU), traffic volumes in 2011 were 7.3 % above the corresponding levels in 2008.
In 2011, international traffic increased by 10% compared to 2010, while national (domestic) traffic stagnated at around (+1%). Unaccompanied traffic increased by 8%, whereas accompanied (RoLa) traffic showed a decline of 5%.
In 2012, overall traffic volumes are expected to decrease due to a slowdown in economic activity in Europe and as a result of traffic interruptions along important North-South intermodal transport corridors across the Alps, i.e. on the Brenner and the Gotthard routes affecting, in particular, national accompanied traffic in Austria.
The charts below provide information on traffic trends in intermodal (road/rail) transport over the past 15 years (from 1.86 Mio consignments in 1997 to 3.2 Mio. consignments in 2011).

The annual �BBQ in Blue Jeans� reaches a 10-year-milestone Friday night at the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center, with proceeds again going toward the relocation of the New Bern Firemen�s Museum to the old 1928 Central Fire Station on Broad Street.
The annual �BBQ in Blue Jeans� reaches a 10-year-milestone Friday night at the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center, with proceeds again going toward the relocation of the New Bern Firemen�s Museum to the old 1928 Central Fire Station on Broad Street.
Entertainment for Friday�s event is provided by local bands �3-Day Weekend� and �Cold Biscuit.�
�Cold Biscuit� members include Dennis Albertson, Laura O�Neal, John Parker, Ray Rouse, B.C. Smith and Landy Spain.
�3 Day Weekend� is comprised of Mark Caraway, Dean Debone, Josh Overby, John Thomas and Les Wetherington.
The doors open at 6 p.m., with dinner being served an hour later, catered by Moore�s Barbeque, one of the presenting sponsors, along with the Sun Journal.
As always, everyone is urged to wear comfortable blue jeans and enjoy a dancing and a bar dinner including ribs, chicken, sides and dessert. Tickets are $25 in advance, or $30 at the door, and can be purchased at the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center, New Bern Firemen�s Museum on Hancock Street, Mitchell Hardware on Craven Street and the New Bern Fire Department Headquarters.
For more information, call 636-4087.
Richard Blythe, a Friends of the Firemen�s Museum board member and the last volunteer fire chief in New Bern, said the museum is filled with artifacts that are invaluable and stories abound.
The move to the old firehouse will provide a venue with authenticity and needed space, as well as a prime location on Broad Street.
The front of the old fire house has been outfitted with period doors of the 1920s, a heating and air conditioning has been installed and after electrical work is completed, cosmetic labor on doors, walls and floors will leave the facility nearly ready for occupancy.
Two major items that remain on the list are installation of an elevator in the �fire hose drying tower.� It will cost $50,000-plus and will have a Plexiglas ceiling for riders to look up and view the hanging hoses.
The building also must have an outside fire escape, which was not a requirement when the original New Bern firemen were housed there.
That will cost about $15,000, which is part of the $100,000 to $200,000 that remains in the project fundraising.
Already in hand is more than $100,000 in interactive displays, many targeted toward a young audience on themes of history and fire safety.
Blythe and Sabrina Bengel, the former alderman and longtime leader of the renovation project, estimate that the total project will be about $1 million.
Blythe said community donations, events such as the BBQ in Blue Jeans and grants from foundations such as Harold Bate have fueled the project.
Bengel, the event chairman for the BBQ on Friday, said overall fundraising has been under way since 2007, but that it hit several stumbling years when the economy took a nose dive.
�We have thought many years that next year would be the year,� she said, adding that 2014 should indeed bring the opening of the new museum.
She said the BBQ event has been a great success over the years, adding more than $15,000 annually toward the project.
In 2003, the city of New Bern turned operation of the museum to the not-for-profit Friends of the New Bern Firemen�s Museum.
For information, visit the museum at 408 Hancock St. or call 636-4087. The museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Ancient Bedrock
Bedrock exposures only occur in a few locations along the lower Rouge and Little Rouge Rivers. The local bedrock, the Whitby Formation, is a 450 million year old shale formation. The Whitby shale contains fossils of trilobites and other pre-historic creatures that once lived in a shallow inland sea covering much of east central North America during the Ordovician period.
Deep Glacial Deposits, High Bluffs and Hidden Fault Lines
In most places, the bedrock surface is buried by sediments up to 100 metres in depth deposited during the last glaciation. The Wisconsian glacier receded 12,000 to 13,000 years ago depositing the Halton Till which covers much of the Rouge Park. The limestone and sand-rich Halton Till has stones and large granitic boulders (glacial erratics) carried south from the Canadian Shield.
Two-thirds of the Rouge Park south of Steeles consists of gently undulating tablelands falling from a maximum elevation of 175 metre A.S.L. at Steeles Avenue to 75 metres A.S.L. at Lake Ontario. Streams, floodplains, terraces and slopes of the Rouge River and Little Rouge Creek valleys occupy the remainder of the park.
In some places, the Rouge River has eroded 40 metres below the surrounding tablelands creating impressive bluffs. Large riverside bluffs at the Finch Meander (Finch & Sewells Roads), and Twyn Rivers Drive (beside Rouge River), reveal many different layers of glacial deposits. The Twyn Rivers Drive bluff has a sediment fault line associated with a hidden bedrock fault extending into Lake Ontario in Pickering.
Internationally Important Don Beds
In a few deep locations, sediments from earlier glaciations have been preserved in bedrock valleys and exposed in riverside bluffs. The exposed Don Beds found along the Rouge Valley are of international importance because they are rich in fossils which enable the reconstruction of past climate, vegetation and fauna data.
Finch Meander ANSI
The Finch Meander is a designated Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) because of its geological and ecological importance.
South of Steeles, the surface features include nine drumlins, up to 30 metres high and 300 metres to 1,000 metres long, and a number of flutes, long linear ridges separated by shallow troughs. Tableland tributaries often follow the troughs. At right angles to this trend are occasional parallel series of low ridges that are presumed to be created by seasonal pushes along the glacial front.
Halton Till and Peel Ponds
Small clay or sand filled depressions up to two metres deep in the Halton Till also provide evidence of local ice-dammed lakes, the Peel Ponds, which were formed about 13,000 years ago. These small clay plains are found east of Little Rouge Creek around Steeles Avenue, around the CPR tracks and Reesor Road, the east side of the Rouge River south of Steeles Avenue, and south of the Rouge west of Sewells Road. A small sand plain occurs on a knoll at the Finch Meander.
Lake Iroquois Shoreline
The southern part of the park was flooded between 12,500 and 12,000 years ago by Lake Iroquois, an ice-dammed, ancestral Lake Ontario that had water levels up to 60 metres above present lake levels. The old Lake Iroquois shoreline passes through the Metro Toronto Zoo and the Beare Road landfill. Most of the shoreline has been removed by aggregate extraction or covered by landfill. The shoreline consisted of shingle beaches, sandy bays and a shore terrace cut into the Halton Till.
Swamps, Marshes and Beaches
Former Lake Iroquois embayments are found around the Townline Swamp, the cattail marsh at Finch Avenue and Reesor Road, and the Beare Road woodlot. A five metre high terrace survives between Little Rouge Creek and Beare Road, and a shoreline is also present on the west side of the Core Woods in the Metro Zoo. South of this shore, a Lake Iroquois beach extends for up to two km across the Metro Zoo, the interfluvial tableland south to the hydro line, around the Beare Road landfill, and south of the confluence of the Rouge River and Morningside Creek.
The beach consists of coarse sands and gravels and bouldery lags up to five metres deep over the Halton Till. With the exception of the swamps south of the Beare Road landfill, these beach deposits have largely been extracted for aggregate in the 1950s.
A locally recharged shallow aquifer discharges water along the base of these beach deposits, maintaining swamps on the tablelands south of the Beare Road landfill and, at one time, south of the intersection of Sheppard Avenue and Meadowvale Road. A small remnant of this latter swamp still exists in the Centennial Forest and Swamp ESA (City of Scarborough, 1983).

YORK, PA – The York College baseball squad posted an 8-4 non-conference win over Elizabethtown College on a sun-splashed Monday afternoon at Jaquet Field in York. The Spartans, winners of three of their last four, improve to 9-15 overall while the Blue Jays fall to 10-10 for the season.
After a scoreless first inning, the Spartans jumped on the board in the bottom of the second. Senior CT Stanley started the inning with a double to right center. He advanced to third on a ground out and then scored when senior Rob Klinck hit a towering double off the left field wall just inside the foul pole. Klinck scored when sophomore Jimmy King flicked an opposite field single to left as the Spartans seized the early advantage.
York increased the lead in the third as junior Steve Tretter launched his second home run of the year, hitting a laser beam out to right centerfield as the Spartan lead grew to 3-0. Senior Kyle Cook followed that with a beautiful bunt single down the third base line to ignite a secondary Spartan uprising. Sophomore Justin Cohen hit a double inside the first base bag and down the line to move Cook to third. Senior Devin Harbold walked to load the bases. Stanley then looked like he cleared the bases when he ripped a shot down the left field line that just curved foul, negating the possible grand slam. Instead, Stanley plated Cook with a sacrifice fly. Klinck then singled up the middle to score Cohen as the Spartan lead grew to 5-0.
The Blue Jays reached freshman starter David Walker for a run in the top of the fourth. Walker walked Matt Reade to lead off the inning and Reade eventually came around to score on a Brian Verdelli RBI single to left. Walker stranded a pair of runners in the inning as he minimized the Blue Jay damage.
Elizabethtown added another tally against Walker in the top of the fifth but York responded with two in the bottom of the fifth. Senior Joe Doyle had an RBI single while King also had a run scoring hit in the frame.
Both teams scored single runs in the eighth and Elizabethtown scored a single run in the top of the ninth to provide for the final four run margin.
Walker earned the win as he improves to 1-1. The freshman threw five innings, allowing two runs on five hits with four walks and a pair of strikeouts.
Joey Seremula suffered the loss as he allowed seven runs on 11 hits with two walks and a strikeout in his five innings of work. He falls to 1-4 with the setback.
Stanley paced the 14-hith Spartan attack as he was 3-for-3 with three runs scored and an RBI. Klinck was 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored while Doyle also had two hits with an RBI and a run scored. Cook and King were the other Spartans with multiple hits as Cook was 2-for-4 with a run scored while King was 2-for-5 with two RBI.
Verdelli led the Blue Jays as he was 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored. Andrew Gordon was 1-for-3 with a run scored and RBI while Mark Minisce was 1-for-1 with an RBI.
The Spartans step back into conference play on Tuesday as they host Wesley College in a Capital Athletic Conference make up contest. Game time at Jaquet Field is set for 3:30 pm.

Experience Methven - the perfect escape no matter what your taste or budget
Tranquil yet exhilarating, relaxing yet vibrant, Methven offers a perfect escape on Inland Scenic Route 72.

Tom Cafarella necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 13 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a relatively simple 5 to 6 page website design for an online accounting marketing website. The website will help individuals and business owners find the perfect accountant for them by searching our database of accountants and matching their needs with the appropriate accountant.
My company is called CPA Seeker, http://www.cpaseeker.com. The company helps businesses and individuals find the accountant that is right for their business. We have a database of accountants and seek to match the specialties of the accountants with the needs of the individuals who come to our website. Two other competing companies are Accounting Aisle, http://www.accountingaisle.com and Good Accountants: http://www.goodaccountants.com. The website of accounting aisle is the site that I would like to use as a template for the layout of this website. Not so much the colors or style, but how the content is layed out. The concept is very simple and the visitor on our website has to be able to figure out what service we provide immediately upon reaching the site or else they will leave and go to another site. Two major things need to be on this first page: first our phone number needs to be prominetely displayed on the upper right hand corner, as it is at http://www.goodaccountants.com. Secondly, a fill out form needs to be displayed, also at http://www.goodaccountants.com so that the website user can fill in their contact information if they do want us to help them.
- 1. Five or six pages of content that is mainly text.
- 2. The first page needs to explain what exactly it is that my company does, and the benefits that my company provides. If you go to http://www.accountingaisle.com or http://www.goodaccountants.com, this initial page should have the same sort of concept where it explains the benefits of working with us.
- Every page should have something in the upper right hand corner that says request a quote, like at http://www.accountingaisle.com, that when they click it, it takes them to the first page which allows them to fill out the contact form.
- All of the web pages should have our logo at the top just as the accounting aisle website has their logo at the top of every page in the upper left hand corner. In order to get my logo go to: https://portal.secure256.com/Public…inID=5931. Then enter firstname.lastname@example.com for the email, and 123456 for the password. Then click secure file exchange link. You will be able to download the logo from this page.
- Second Page: I would like the second page to be a frequenly asked questions page that has similar content to this page: http://www.goodaccountants.com/faq. I am not fond of the style of this page, but the content should be very similar.
- Third Page: the third page should be the services page which lists out all of the services that we provide similar tho this page:http://www.accountingaisle.com/services/
- Fourth Page: called benefits which lists all of the reasons why it makes sense for someone to use a CPA for their accounting needs such as this:http://www.accountingaisle.com/help/
Last page: the last page should be a contact us page with our phone number, email, etc. The email that I would like used is email@example.com The contact page should also have a fill out box in case someone wants to leave comments similar to this: http://goodaccountants.com/contactus/
- Once the website is created, I would like to leave the format the same, but be able to change the wording if need be. I would like to be able to edit the words and so I'd like to have it set up to allow me to make changes in a simple manner, if possible.
- If there is any confusion as to the style, etc. of the site use http://www.accountingaisle.com as a template. I would like the site to be very similar in style and function to that site.
- If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- 1. For the most part, the website should be fairly conservative, no crazy colors or highlighed sections or all capital letters.
- Although the site has to look clean enough and well designed enough to catch someone's eye, the site should not appear to be salesish with any exaggerated or misleadign information.
- do not want any flash design on the website.
- do not want any music on the website, or other sounds

Malaysian authorities today lifted the ban on Tamil movie Vishwaroopam, much to the delight of ethnic Indians in the country.
Malaysian Film Censorship Board had initially approved the movie – directed and produced by Kamal Haasan – for public screening in the country and it was shown in local cinemas on January 25 However, the approval was withdrawn the next day, in accordance with a directive from the Home Ministry following concerns from the public that the film portrays Islam in a negative light.
The ban had led to the circulation of illegal DVDs among ethnic Indians here keen to see the movie.

Raul Oaida, 18-years-old, attached a LEGO shuttle, a video camera and a GPS tracker, to a huge helium balloon and sent them into space. Oaida says flight time was just about three hours and the shuttle reached an altitude of 115,000 feet before heading back to Earth. According to Oaida, designing the spacecraft wasn't so hard (compared to the jet engine he designed and built before this) but getting a flight clearance was.

Wow, sounds like you had a lot on your hands at the time. I am in the same boat as you, 2.9/146. I am going to retake in February, and if I do poorly, I am going to study for 6 more months and then retake and apply for 2006. Have you thought about retaking the test in Feb, and applying to schools that take the higher LSAT? I don't know what schools you want to apply to, but if you can't retake in Feb, at least try applying to some tier 3 and tier 4 for 2005. You could maybe explain your GPA in an addendum as well. If you don't get into the school of your choice, get some work experience, study for the LSAT, and re-apply for 2006. Good luck!
Is it possible for you to wait a year, re-take the LSAT, as well as take some more classes to help out your gpa? Maybe even at a JC? If you were to do that, there's a very good chance that you could bump up your gpa above the 3.0+ threshold, which would improve your chances considerably, I would imagine.

(CNN) -- Two very high profile surrogates will be campaigning for President Barack Obama in the crucial battleground state of Ohio next week.
The Obama campaign announced Saturday morning that former President Bill Clinton and rock star Bruce Springsteen will team up in Parma, Ohio on Thursday to stump for the president.
"Bruce Springsteen's values echo what the President and Vice President stand for: hard work, fairness, integrity," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement. "His appearances will help with our get out the vote effort in these critical swing states and we are thrilled with his ongoing support
Springsteen appeared, and performed, at rallies in 2004 for Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, that year's Democratic presidential nominee, and in 2008 for Obama. But he had said as late last month that he wouldn't be performing in the 2012 election.
The appearance of the former president is no surprise though. He's been a very high profile surrogate for Obama this year.
Both campaigns have been spending a lot of time and money battling for Ohio's 18 electoral votes.
Ohio was the state that put President George W. Bush over the top in his 2004 re-election. Four years later Obama carried the state by five points over Sen. John McCain. But the Republicans performed well in the Buckeye state in the 2010 midterm elections, winning back the governor's office and five House seats from the Democrats.
A new CNN Poll of Polls that averages the three non-partisan, live operator surveys in Ohio conducted entirely after the first presidential debate indicates a very close contest, with Obama at 50 percent among likely voters and Romney at 47 percent.

As former educators with Canton City Schools, we encourage all citizens of the district to vote for Eric Resnick on Nov. 5.
Resnick is a candidate for the at-large seat on the Canton City Board of Education and has previously served on the board. We believe he is very qualified to hold the seat and is more
worthy of that position than his opponent is.
Resnick attended Canton City Schools for his K-12 education. He is knowledgeable about the community and its students. While on the board, he demonstrated the determination to serve all of Canton's students.
To be more effective as a board member, he attended training sessions offered by the Ohio School Boards Association and the National School Boards Association. He is also an inaugural member of the Ohio Urban Schools Association. Resnick is currently the board's appointee to the Canton Joint Recreation Board.
Resnick's initiative to develop an anti-bullying policy in Canton City schools is particularly impressive.
During his service, he demonstrated a professional rapport with his colleagues and has
been cooperative. He worked diligently with the administrative team to achieve positive
outcomes for many district problems.
He asks questions and does research before speaking or making a decision. He is watchful of the financial matters of the district and will consider the needs of all students in his decisions. Having a seat on the board is a top priority for Resnick.
If elected, Resnick will work to promote student learning and achievement. We believe his presence on the board will provide the stability and cooperation necessary for success.
Eric Resnick will watch district's spending and consider needs of all students
As former educators with Canton City Schools, we encourage all citizens of the district to vote for Eric Resnick on Nov. 5.

Peter I, Russian in full Pyotr Alekseyevich, byname Peter the Great, Russian Pyotr Veliky, (born June 9 [May 30, Old Style], 1672, Moscow, Russia—died February 8 [January 28], 1725, St. Petersburg), tsar of Russia who reigned jointly with his half-brother Ivan V (1682–96) and alone thereafter (1696–1725) and who in 1721 was proclaimed emperor (imperator). He was one of his country's greatest statesmen, organizers, and reformers.
What were Peter the Great's accomplishments?
What was Peter the Great's childhood like?
Who were Peter the Great's wives?
How did Peter the Great die?
Peter was the son of Tsar Alexis by his second wife, Natalya Kirillovna Naryshkina. Unlike his half-brothers, sons of his father's first wife, Mariya Ilinichna Miloslavskaya, Peter proved a healthy child, lively and inquisitive. It is probably significant to his development that his mother's former guardian, Artamon Sergeyevich Matveyev, had raised her in an atmosphere open to progressive influences from the West.
Youth and accession
When Alexis died in 1676 Peter was only four years old. His elder half-brother, a sickly youth, then succeeded to the throne as Fyodor III; but, in fact, power fell into the hands of the Miloslavskys, relatives of Fyodor's mother, who deliberately pushed Peter and the Naryshkin circle aside. When Fyodor died childless in 1682, a fierce struggle for power ensued between the Miloslavskys and the Naryshkins: the former wanted to put Fyodor's brother, the delicate and feebleminded Ivan V, on the throne; the Naryshkins stood for the healthy and intelligent Peter. Representatives of the various orders of society, assembled in the Kremlin, declared themselves for Peter, who was then proclaimed tsar; but the Miloslavsky faction exploited a revolt of the Moscow streltsy, or musketeers of the sovereign's bodyguard, who killed some of Peter's adherents, including Matveyev. Ivan and Peter were then proclaimed joint tsars; and eventually, because of Ivan's precarious health and Peter's youth, Ivan's 25-year-old sister Sophia was made regent. Clever and influential, Sophia took control of the government; excluded from public affairs, Peter lived with his mother in the village of Preobrazhenskoye, near Moscow, often fearing for his safety. All this left an ineradicable impression on the young tsar and determined his negative attitude toward the streltsy.
One result of Sophia's overt exclusion of Peter from the government was that he did not receive the usual education of a Russian tsar; he grew up in a free atmosphere instead of being confined within the narrow bounds of a palace. While his first tutor, the former church clerk Nikita Zotov, could give little to satisfy Peter's curiosity, the boy enjoyed noisy outdoor games and took especial interest in military matters, his favourite toys being arms of one sort or another. He also occupied himself with carpentry, joinery, blacksmith's work, and printing.
Near Preobrazhenskoye there was a nemetskaya sloboda ("German colony") where foreigners were allowed to reside. Acquaintance with its inhabitants aroused Peter's interest in the life of other nations, and an English sailboat, found derelict in a shed, whetted his passion for seafaring. Mathematics, fortification, and navigation were the sciences that appealed most strongly to Peter. A model fortress was built for his amusement, and he organized his first "play" troops, from which, in 1687, the Preobrazhensky and Semyonovsky Guards regiments were formed—to become the nucleus of a new Russian Army.
Early in 1689 Natalya Naryshkina arranged Peter's marriage to the beautiful Eudoxia (Yevdokiya Fyodorovna Lopukhina). This was obviously a political act, intended to demonstrate the fact that the 17-year-old Peter was now a grown man, with a right to rule in his own name. The marriage did not last long: Peter soon began to ignore his wife, and in 1698 he relegated her to a convent.
In August 1689 a new revolt of the streltsy took place. Sophia and her faction tried to use it to their own advantage for another coup d'état, but events this time turned decisively in Peter's favour. He removed Sophia from power and banished her to the Novodevichy convent; she was forced to become a nun after a streltsy rebellion in 1698. Though Ivan V remained nominally joint tsar with Peter, the administration was now largely given over to Peter's kinsmen, the Naryshkins, until Ivan's death in 1696. Peter, meanwhile continuing his military and nautical amusements, sailed the first seaworthy ships to be built in Russia. His games proved to be good training for the tasks ahead.
External events
At the beginning of Peter's reign, Russia was territorially a huge power, but with no access to the Black Sea, the Caspian, or to the Baltic, and to win such an outlet became the main goal of Peter's foreign policy.
The Azov campaigns (1695–96)
The first steps taken in this direction were the campaigns of 1695 and 1696, with the object of capturing Azov from the Crimean Tatar vassals of Turkey. On the one hand, these Azov campaigns could be seen as fulfilling Russia's commitments, undertaken during Sophia's regency, to the anti-Turkish "Holy League" of 1684 (Austria, Poland, and Venice); on the other they were intended to secure the southern frontier against Tatar raids, as well as to approach the Black Sea. The first campaign ended in failure (1695), but this did not discourage Peter: he promptly built a fleet at Voronezh to sail down the Don River and in 1696 Azov was captured. To consolidate this success Taganrog was founded on the northern shore of the Don Estuary, and the building of a large navy was started.
The Grand Embassy (1697–98)
Having already sent some young nobles abroad to study nautical matters, Peter, in 1697, went with the so-called Grand Embassy to western Europe. The embassy comprised about 250 people, with the "grand ambassadors" Franz Lefort, F.A. Golovin, and P.B. Voznitsyn at its head. Its chief purposes were to examine the international situation and to strengthen the anti-Turkish coalition, but it was also intended to gather information on the economic and cultural life of Europe. Travelling incognito under the name of Sgt. Pyotr Mikhaylov, Peter familiarized himself with conditions in the advanced countries of the West. For four months he studied shipbuilding, working as a ship's carpenter in the yard of the Dutch East India Company at Saardam; after that he went to Great Britain, where he continued his study of shipbuilding, working in the Royal Navy's dockyard at Deptford, and he also visited factories, arsenals, schools, and museums and even attended a session of Parliament. Meanwhile, the services of foreign experts were engaged for work in Russia.
On the diplomatic side of the Grand Embassy, Peter conducted negotiations with the Dutch and British governments for alliances against Turkey; but the Maritime Powers did not wish to involve themselves with him because they were preoccupied with the problems that were soon to come to a crisis, for them, in the War of the Spanish Succession.
The destruction of the streltsy (1698)
From England, Peter went on to Austria; but while he was negotiating in Vienna for a continuance of the anti-Turkish alliance, he received news of a fresh revolt of the streltsy in Moscow. In the summer of 1698 he was back in Moscow, where he suppressed the revolt. Hundreds of the streltsy were executed, the rest of the rebels were exiled to distant towns, and the corps of the streltsy was disbanded.
The Northern War (1700–21)
When it became clear that Austria, no less than the Maritime Powers, was preparing to fight for the Spanish Succession and to make peace with Turkey, Peter saw that Russia could not contemplate a war without allies against the Turks, and he abandoned his plans for pushing forward from the Sea of Azov to the Black Sea. By the Russo-Turkish Peace of Constantinople (Istanbul, 1700) he retained possession of Azov. He was now turning his attention to the Baltic instead, following the tradition of his predecessors.
The Swedes occupied Karelia, Ingria, Estonia, and Livonia and blocked Russia's way to the Baltic coast. To dislodge them, Peter took an active part in forming the great alliance, comprising Russia, Saxony, and Denmark–Norway, which started the Northern War in 1700. This war lasted for 21 years and was Peter's main military enterprise. In planning it and in sustaining it he displayed iron willpower, extraordinary energy, and outstanding gifts of statesmanship, generalship, and diplomacy. Mobilizing all the resources of Russia for the triumph of his cause, constantly keeping himself abreast of events, and actively concerning himself with all important undertakings, often at his personal risk, he could be seen sometimes in a sailor's jacket on a warship, sometimes in an officer's uniform on the battlefield, and sometimes in a labourer's apron and gloves with an axe in a shipyard.
The defeat of the Russians at Narva (1700), very early in the war, did not deter Peter and, in fact, he later described it as a blessing: "Necessity drove away sloth and forced me to work night and day." He subsequently took part in the siege that led to the Russian capture of Narva (1704) and in the battles of Lesnaya (1708) and of Poltava (1709). At Poltava, where Charles XII of Sweden suffered a catastrophic defeat, the plan of operations was Peter's own: it was his idea to transform the battlefield by works of his military engineers—the redoubts erected in the path of the Swedish troops to break their combat order, to split them into little groups, and to halt their onslaught. Peter also took part in the naval battle of Gangut (Hanko, or Hangö) in 1714, the first major Russian victory at sea.
The treaties concluded by Russia in the course of the war were made under Peter's personal direction. He also travelled abroad again for diplomatic reasons—e.g., to Pomerania in 1712 and to Denmark, northern Germany, Holland, and France in 1716–17.
In 1703, on the banks of the Neva River, where it flows into the Gulf of Finland, Peter began construction of the city of St. Petersburg and established it as the new capital of Russia in 1712. By the Treaty of Nystad (September 10 [August 30, O.S.], 1721) the eastern shores of the Baltic were at last ceded to Russia, Sweden was reduced to a secondary power, and the way was opened for Russian domination over Poland.
In celebration of his triumph, the Senate on November 2 (October 22, O.S.), 1721, changed Peter's title from tsar to that of emperor (imperator) of all the Russias.
The popular revolts (1705–08)
The peasant serfs and the poorer urban workers had to bear the greatest hardships in wartime and moreover were intensively exploited in the course of Peter's great work for the modernization and development of Russia (see below Internal reforms). Their sufferings, combined with onerous taxation, provoked a number of revolts, the most important of which were that of Astrakhan (1705–06) and that led by Kondraty Afanasyevich Bulavin in the Don Basin (1707–08). These revolts were cruelly put down.
The Turkish War (1710–13)
In the middle of the Northern War, when Peter might have pressed further the advantage won at Poltava, Turkey declared war on Russia. In the summer of 1711 Peter marched against the Turks through Bessarabia into Moldavia, but he was surrounded, with all his forces, on the Prut River. Obliged to sue for peace, he was fortunate to obtain very light terms from the inept Turkish negotiators, who allowed him to retire with no greater sacrifice than the retrocession of Azov. The Turkish government soon decided to renew hostilities; but the Peace of Adrianople (Edirne) was concluded in 1713, leaving Azov to the Turks. From that time on Peter's military effort was concentrated on winning his war against Sweden.
The Tsarevich Alexis and Catherine (to 1718)
Peter had a son, the tsarevich Alexis, by his discarded wife Eudoxia. Alexis was his natural heir, but he grew up antipathetic to Peter and receptive to reactionary influences working against Peter's reforms. Peter, meanwhile, had formed a lasting liaison with a low-born woman, the future empress Catherine I, who bore him other children and whom he married in 1712. Pressed finally to mend his ways or to become a monk in renunciation of his hereditary rights (1716), Alexis took refuge in the dominions of the Holy Roman emperor Charles VI, but he was induced to return to Russia in 1718. Thereupon proceedings were brought against him on charges of high treason, and after torture he was condemned to death. He died in prison, presumably by violence, before the formal execution of the sentence.
The Persian campaign (1722–23)
Even during the second half of the Northern War, Peter had sent exploratory missions to the East—to the Central Asian steppes in 1714, to the Caspian region in 1715, and to Khiva in 1717. The end of the war left him free to resume a more active policy on his southeastern frontier. In 1722, hearing that the Ottoman Turks would take advantage of Persia's weakness and invade the Caspian region, Peter himself invaded Persian territory. In 1723 Persia ceded the western and southern shores of the Caspian to Russia in return for military aid.
The campaign along the parched shores of the Caspian obviously put a great strain on Peter's health, already undermined by enormous exertions and also by the excesses in which he occasionally indulged himself. In the autumn of 1724, seeing some soldiers in danger of drowning from a ship aground on a sandbank in the Gulf of Finland, he characteristically plunged himself into the icy water to help them. Catching a chill, he became seriously ill in the winter but even so continued to work; indeed, it was at this time that he drew up the instructions for the expedition of Vitus Bering to Kamchatka.
When Peter died early in the following year, he left an empire that stretched from Arkhangelsk (Archangel) on the White Sea to Mazanderan on the Caspian and from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean. Though he had in 1722 issued a decree reserving to himself the right to nominate his successor, he did not in fact nominate anyone. His widow Catherine, whom he had crowned as empress in 1724, succeeded him to the temporary exclusion of his grandson, the future Peter II.
Internal reforms
At the beginning of Peter's reign, Russia was backward by comparison with the countries of western Europe. This backwardness inhibited foreign policy and even put Russia's national independence in danger. Peter's aim, therefore, was to overtake the developed countries of western Europe as soon as possible, in order both to promote the national economy and to ensure victory in his wars for access to the seas. Breaking the resistance of the boyars, or members of the ancient landed aristocracy, and of the clergy and severely punishing all other opposition to his projects, he initiated a series of reforms that affected, in the course of 25 years, every field of the national life—administration, industry, commerce, technology, and culture.
The towns
At the beginning of Peter's reign there was already some degree of economic differentiation between the various regions of Russia; and in the towns artisans were establishing small businesses, small-scale production was expanding, and industrial plants and factories were growing up, with both hired workers and serfs employed. There was thus a nascent bourgeoisie, which benefitted considerably from Peter's plans for the development of the national industry and trade. The reform of the urban administration was particularly significant.
By a decree of 1699, townspeople (artisans and tradesmen) were released from subjection to the military governors of the provinces and were authorized to elect municipalities of their own, which would be subordinated to the Moscow municipality, or ratusha—the council of the great merchant community of the capital. This reform was carried further in 1720, with the establishment of a chief magistracy in St. Petersburg, to which the local town magistracies and the elected municipal officers of the towns (mayors, or burmistry; and councillors, or ratmany) were subordinated.
All townspeople, meanwhile, were divided between "regulars" and "commons" (inferiors). The regulars were subdivided between two guilds—the first comprising rich merchants and members of the liberal professions (doctors, actors, and artists); the second, artisans (classified according to their vocations) and small tradesmen. A merchant belonged to the first or to the second guild according to the amount of his capital; and those who were also manufacturers had special privileges, coming under the jurisdiction of the College of Manufactures and being exempt from the billeting of troops, from elective rotas of duty, and from military service. The commons were hired labourers, without the privileges of regulars.
Thanks to the reforms, the economic activity and the population of the towns increased. Anyone engaged in trade was legally permitted to settle in a town and to register himself in the appropriate category, and there was a right of "free commerce for people of every rank."
The provinces and the districts
In order to create a more flexible system of control by the central power, Russia was territorially divided in 1708 into eight guberny, or governments, each under a governor appointed by the tsar and vested with administrative, military, and judicial authority. In 1719 these guberny were dissolved into 50 provintsy, or provinces, which in turn were subdivided into districts. The census of 1722, however, was followed by the substitution of a poll tax for the previous hearth tax; and this provoked a wave of popular discontent, against which Peter decided to distribute the army regiments (released from active service by the Peace of Nystad) in garrisons throughout the country and to make their maintenance obligatory on the local populations. Thus came into being the "regimental districts," which did not coincide with the administrative. The regimental commanders, with their own sphere of jurisdiction and their own requirements, added another layer to the already complex system of local authority.
The central government
In the course of Peter's reign, medieval and obsolescent forms of government gave place to effective autocracy. In 1711 he abolished the boyarskaya duma, or boyar council, and established by decree the Senate as the supreme organ of state—to coordinate the action of the various central and local organs, to supervise the collection and expenditure of revenue, and to draft legislation in accordance with his edicts. Martial discipline was extended to civil institutions, and an officer of the guards was always on duty in the Senate. From 1722, moreover, there was a procurator general keeping watch over the daily work of the Senate and its chancellery and acting as "the eye of the sovereign."
When Peter came to power the central departments of state were the prikazy, or offices, of which there were about 80, functioning in a confused and fragmented way. To replace most of this outmoded system, Peter in 1718 instituted 9 "colleges" (kollegy), or boards, the number of which was by 1722 expanded to 13. Their activities were controlled, on the one hand, by the General Regulation and, on the other, by particular regulations for individual colleges, and indeed there were strict regulations for every branch of the state administration. Crimes against the state came under the jurisdiction of the Preobrazhensky Office, responsible immediately to the tsar.
A secondary purpose of Peter's Grand Embassy to western Europe in 1697 (see above The Grand Embassy) had been to obtain firsthand acquaintance with advanced industrial techniques, and the exigencies of his great war against Sweden, from 1700, made industrial development an urgent matter. In order to provide armaments and to build his navy (Russia had virtually no warships at all), metallurgical and manufacturing industries on a grand scale had to be created; and Peter devoted himself tirelessly to meeting these needs. Large capital investments were made, and numerous privileges were accorded to businessmen and industrialists. These privileges included the right to buy peasant serfs for labour in workshops, with the result that a class of "enlisted" serfs came into existence, living in specified areas and bound to the factories. The methods of other countries were further studied, and foreign experts were invited to Russia. The overall result was satisfactory: the army and the navy were supplied with their material needs; a great number of manufacturing establishments were founded (mainly with serf labour); the metallurgical industry was so far advanced that by the middle of the 18th century Russia led Europe in this field; and the foreign-trade turnover was increased sevenfold in the course of the reign.
The armed forces
Peter established a regular army on completely modern lines for Russia in the place of the unreliable streltsy and the militia of the gentry. While he drew his officers from the nobility, he conscripted peasants and townspeople into the other ranks. Service was for life. The troops were equipped with flintlock firearms and bayonets of Russian make; uniforms were provided; and regular drilling was introduced. For the artillery, obsolete cannons were replaced with new mortars and guns designed by Russian specialists or even by Peter himself (he drew up projects of his own for multicannon warships, fortresses, and ordnance). The Army Regulations of 1716 were particularly important; they required officers to teach their men "how to act in battle," "to know the soldier's business from first principles and not to cling blindly to rules," and to show initiative in the face of the enemy. For the navy, Peter's reign saw the construction, within a few years, of 52 battleships and hundreds of galleys and other craft; thus a powerful Baltic fleet was brought into being. Several special schools prepared their pupils for military or naval service and finally enabled Peter to dispense with foreign experts.
Cultural and educational measures
From January 1, 1700, Peter introduced a new chronology, making the Russian calendar conform to European usage with regard to the year, which in Russia had hitherto been numbered "from the Creation of the World" and had begun on September 1 (he adhered however to the Julian Old Style as opposed to the Gregorian New Style for the days of the month). In 1710 the Old Church Slavonic alphabet was modernized into a secular script.
Peter was the first ruler of Russia to sponsor education on secular lines and to bring an element of state control into that field. Various secular schools were opened; and since too few pupils came from the nobility, the children of soldiers, officials, and churchmen were admitted to them. In many cases, compulsory service to the state was preceded by compulsory education for it. Russians were also permitted to go abroad for their education and indeed were often compelled to do so (at the state's expense). The translation of books from western European languages was actively promoted. The first Russian newspaper, Vedomosti ("Records"), appeared in 1703. The Russian Academy of Sciences was instituted in 1724.
Beside his useful measures, Peter often enforced superficial Europeanization rather brutally; for example, when he decreed that beards should be shorn off and Western dress worn. He personally cut the beards of his boyars and the skirts of their long coats (kaftany). The Raskolniki (Old Believers) and merchants who insisted on keeping their beards had to pay a special tax, but peasants and the Orthodox clergy were allowed to remain bearded.
The church
In 1721, in order to subject the Orthodox Church of Russia to the state, Peter abolished the Patriarchate of Moscow. Thenceforward the patriarch's place as head of the church was taken by a spiritual college, namely the Holy Synod, consisting of representatives of the hierarchy obedient to the tsar's will. A secular official—the ober-prokuror, or chief procurator—was appointed by the tsar to supervise the Holy Synod's activities. The Holy Synod ferociously persecuted all dissenters and conducted a censorship of all publications.
Priests officiating in churches were obliged by Peter to deliver sermons and exhortations that were intended to make the peasantry "listen to reason" and to teach such prayers to children that everyone would grow up "in fear of God" and in awe of the tsar. The regular clergy were forbidden to allow men under 30 years old or serfs to take vows as monks.
The church was thus transformed into a pillar of the absolutist regime. Partly in the interests of the nobility, the extent of land owned by the church was restricted; Peter disposed of ecclesiastical and monastic property and revenues at his own discretion, for state purposes.
The nobility
Peter's internal policy served to protect the interest of Russia's ruling class—the landowners and the nascent bourgeoisie. The material position of the landed nobility was strengthened considerably under Peter. Almost 100,000 acres of land and 175,000 serfs were allotted to it in the first half of the reign alone. Moreover, a decree of 1714 that instituted succession by primogeniture and so prevented the breaking up of large properties also removed the old distinction between pomestya (lands granted by the tsar to the nobility in return for service) and votchiny (patrimonial or allodial lands) so that all such property became hereditary.
Moreover, the status of the nobility was modified by Peter's Table of Ranks (1722). This replaced the old system of promotion in the state services, which had been according to ancestry, by one of promotion according to services actually rendered. It classified all functionaries—military, naval, and civilian alike—in 14 categories, the 14th being the lowest and the 1st the highest; and admission to the 8th category conferred hereditary nobility. Factory owners and others who had risen to officer's rank could accede to the nobility, which thus received new blood. The predominance of the boyars ended.
Personality and achievement
Peter was of enormous height, more than six and one-half feet (two metres) tall; he was handsome and of unusual physical strength. Unlike all earlier Russian tsars, whose Byzantine splendours he repudiated, he was very simple in his manners; for example, he enjoyed conversation over a mug of beer with shipwrights and sailors from the foreign ships visiting St. Petersburg. Restless, energetic, and impulsive, he did not like splendid clothes that hindered his movements; often he appeared in worn-out shoes and an old hat, still more often in military or naval uniform. He was fond of merrymaking and knew how to conduct it, though his jokes were frequently crude; and he sometimes drank heavily and forced his guests to do so too. A just man who did not tolerate dishonesty, he was terrible in his anger and could be cruel when he encountered opposition: in such moments only his intimates could soothe him—best of all his beloved second wife, Catherine, whom people frequently asked to intercede with him for them. Sometimes Peter would beat his high officials with his stick, from which even Prince A.D. Menshikov, his closest friend, received many a stroke. One of Peter's great gifts of statesmanship was the ability to pick talented collaborators for the highest appointments, whether from the foremost families of the nobility or from far lower levels of society.
As a ruler, Peter often used the methods of a despotic landlord—the whip and arbitrary rule. He always acted as an autocrat, convinced of the wonder-working power of compulsion by the state. Yet with his insatiable capacity for work he saw himself as the state's servant, and whenever he put himself in a subordinate position he would perform his duties with the same conscientiousness that he demanded of others. He began his own army service in the lowest rank and required others likewise to master their profession from its elements upward and to expect promotion only for services of real value.
Peter's personality left its imprint on the whole history of Russia. A man of original and shrewd intellect, exuberant, courageous, industrious, and iron-willed, he could soberly appraise complex and changeable situations so as to uphold consistently the general interests of Russia and his own particular designs. He did not completely bridge the gulf between Russia and the Western countries, but he achieved considerable progress in development of the national economy and trade, education, science and culture, and foreign policy. Russia became a great power, without whose concurrence no important European problem could thenceforth be settled. His internal reforms achieved progress to an extent that no earlier innovator could have envisaged.Leonid Alekseyevich Nikiforov The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

Continuing my Facebook Hold-Out people had been asking us to put our updates in a GMG Facebook Fan Page so that they could get their GMG updates through FB. There was no way for me to start a GMG Facebook Fan page without signing up for a Facebook account so new contributor (more about this soon) Beth Swan put one up for us. I guess you need to have 25 or more people who "like" you before they will give you the shortened http://www.facebook.com/GoodMorningGloucester URL without a whole slew of numbers and letters after it. Within a day the page had the required number for us to have the URL. So if you are a Facebooker, you can go to the URL and do whatever it is you do to get the updates to show up on your wall.
I think that's what it's called-a wall. I'm pretty much clueless as to the ins and outs of FB. But if it were Twitter it would be your timeline. Sample below-

IT'S PERSONAL: Who Will Drive Tomorrow?
A few days ago, I posted a blog originally published on Rebel Metropolis entitled "Every Car a Murder, Every Bicycle A Love Affair." The anonymous author speculated on why the current generation of 18-35 year-olds are driving less and owning fewer cars. In response, Steven Forth, shared a personal piece of anecdotal information that, while admittedly not scientific, should give carmakers pause. He writes," I have three kids in their mid to late 20s. One has two children. Two have good jobs, one is doing a Masters in Los Angeles. None of them owns a car. Two do not have drivers licenses. Less than half of their friends own cars. More than one-third do not have drivers licenses. There is a values shift happening and it is important to understand this. It is unevenly distributed for sure. And as William Gibson once said, 'the future is here just unevenly distributed.'"
Then I came across a revelatory graph that shows the dramatic decline in 16-19 year olds in America with a valid drivers license. From a peak of more than 70% in the early '80s, it has plunged to 50% in 2010.
Maybe, as Steve suggests, there's a shift in values taking place here, or maybe they just expect cars will be driving themselves by 2020, so who needs a license?

Drooling is saliva flowing outside the mouth.
Salivation; Excessive saliva; Too much saliva; Sialorrhea
Drooling is generally caused by:
Some people with drooling problems are at increased risk of breathing saliva, food, or fluids into the lungs. This may cause harm if there is a problem with the body's normal reflexes (such as gagging and coughing).
Some drooling in infants and toddlers is normal. It may occur with teething. Drooling in infants and young children may get worse with colds and allergies.
Drooling may happen if your body makes too much saliva. Infections can cause this, including:
Other conditions that can cause too much saliva are:
Drooling may also be caused by nervous system disorders that make it hard to swallow. Examples are:
Popsicles or other cold objects (such as frozen bagels) may be helpful for young children who are drooling while teething. Take care to avoid choking when a child uses any of these objects.
For those with chronic drooling:
Call your health care provider if:
The health care provider will do a physical exam and ask questions about your symptoms and medical history.
Testing depends on a person's overall health and other symptoms.
A speech therapist can determine if the drooling increases the risk of breathing in food or fluids into the lungs. This is called aspiration. This may include information about:
Drooling caused by nervous system problems can often be managed with drugs that reduce saliva production. Different drops, patches, pills or liquid medicines may be tried.
If you have severe drooling, the health care provider may recommend:

Every year I've put the FastWorks system on sale. Up in Canada we still have a lot of snow and temperatures are still below freezing so I like to call it a "Snow is finally melting event!" The sale runs from March 15th to March 31st.
What is the FastWorks ECU Upgrade?
It is definitively the most popular ECU upgrade for the 4G Eclipse and 4G69/6G75 series Galant. The system integrates tuning/logging/flashing in the same package produced in-house. It comes with a base tune that is tailored specifically to your modifications. It also comes with modifications to the factory programming that adds other features not available from Mitsubishi.
How is FastWorks different from other reflashes?
I was the original person who cracked and developed a way to tune this series of ECUs. With this knowledge I re-wrote sections of the factory program to add new features. Since I am the original author of the software and programming changes I don't have to rely on any 3rd parties for editing definitions, accuracy or support.
The differences are in the new features and in the support you get. I've got 15 years of tuning experience, 15 years of engine building, diagnostics etc. My specialty is in engine management so you get support that is backed by experience and technical know-how.
What new features does FastWorks give me?
All vehicles get extended datalogging. This allows access to items you need to tune properly but Mitsubishi did not make visible.
MT cars can have 2 stage rev-limiters, also known as launch control.
All vehicles have additional changes available to allow turbochargers or superchargers to run.
As new features are added they are available to all licensed FastWorks users. There are a number of new ones being developed.
What does the tune give me?
A GS will have 8-10hp more at the wheels and a GT will gain 12-15hp. Depending on your modifications many cars will make larger gains. Most do make more but I like to quote numbers I feel everyone will achieve rather than fiction that "sounds good".
Most cars will gain a minimum if 10% in fuel economy. This means that the upgrade will generally pay for itself in a year of driving. The harder you drive your car the more fuel it saves you.
How long does it take to get a tune?
For most people the tune is delivered within 1-2 business days.
Rarely, I encounter a calibration I have never seen before. With these I must build and verify an "editing template" or definition so your ECU can be edited. I also have to build the changes to add new features. This takes time, generally a week. With a big sale like this it can take a bit longer but I do put in a lot of hours to try and get things out the door as fast as possible.
How do I buy the system?
Contact me via email (firstname.lastname@example.com). Pay for the product using paypal (firstname.lastname@example.com). Purchase an OpenPort 2.0 cable from http://www.tactrix.com. Register on support.fastworks.com (for product support and to download the windows software - sorry no OSX but it can run in parallels).
What does the system cost?
Naturally Aspirated cars. Regular price: $449.99. On Sale $249.99
Turbo/Supercharged cars: Regular price $599.99. On Sale $349.99
All prices quoted in USD. Sale pricing valid on all purchases from March 15th through March 31 2015.
As an additional bonus I will be giving a $100 surprise refund to the 10th purchaser. Lucky #20 will get $150 back and #30 will get $200 back. Winners will be announced by the end of the sale.

In January, Houma musicians Todd Adams and Steve Junot put on what they thought would be a one-night-only performance together.
The event turned into such a successful collaboration that the duo decided once was not enough.
On Saturday night, the piano-playing Adams and guitar-ripping Junot will perform together again at Vino!, 656 Corporate Drive, Houma.
General admission costs $5 and is standing room only. The show begins after the conclusion of the Alabama-LSU game, approximately 10:30 p.m.
The pair said they have added new features to this nonstop three-hour show and raised the level of production.
"The people who came last time — a lot of them have already reserved tables and bought tickets early — they're going to see some of the old show, but they're going to see some new things as well," Adams said.
"We've included more visual and lighting elements. It's really hard to describe unless you see it," Junot added. "We have lots of surprises and fun in store. You might have seen stuff like we're doing in Vegas, but you've never seen it in Houma."
Adams and Junot will perform everything from '70s rock and R&B to contemporary hits and a little hip-hop for good measure. When they combine forces they will use seven different instruments in their set.
"We are going to swap out a lot," Adams said. "You're going to see Steve play guitar, drums, piano, the ukulele and harmonica. I play piano, drums, bass guitar and accordion."
For Adams, who plays the piano at Vino! three nights a week, five hours a night, the wide-ranging and ever-changing requests from the audience keeps the performances exciting.
"That's what makes it fun is that it's so spontaneous," he said. "Someone will step up and ask you to play Lil' Wayne. Then you turn around and someone will ask you to play some Nat King Cole. You're like, 'Whoa. That's extreme.' "
The pair has an extensive playlist in their repertoire to draw from. Separately, they have played with numerous genres of bands: country, Cajun, zydeco, heavy metal, R&B and Motown.
It is rare that they get a song request that they don't know. Even when that occurs, they usually roll with the punches.
"When people ask for something you don't know, it gives you something to learn, to keep your audience happy, let you know what they are into," Junot said. "It's fun flying by the seat of your pants like that. Most of the time the audience just appreciates the effort, even if you screw it up."
Adams and Junot have been friends since the second grade at the former East Park Elementary School. They played together one year in the Terrebonne High School marching band (Adams in the drum section, while Junot played trumpet). For a time, they played in Nicholls State University's jazz band.
Professionally, they never had the opportunity to perform together until this year. From 2001 to June 2011, Adams spent five nights a week playing the piano at Aficionados in downtown Houma. Once he came over to Vino! last fall, Adams and Junot decided it was a good time to team up their musical talents.
With one positive show in the books and Saturday's event looking to be another success, a third one-night concert may be on the horizon.
"We still have a lot of ideas we wanted to do for this show we couldn't do because of time constraints," Adams said.
"The goal is to each time bring something different to it, not to do the same thing," Junot added. "Houma's not prepared for what we're going to lay on them."
Musicians' spotlight: Houma's not ready
In January, Houma musicians Todd Adams and Steve Junot put on what they thought would be a one-night-only performance together.
