Community Sanitation Overview:
Wells have proven unsuccessful in Kivalina. Water is drawn from the Wulik River via a 3-mile surface transmission line and is stored in a 700,000-gallon raw water tank. It is then treated and stored in a 500,000-gallon steel tank. Residents haul water from this tank. One-third of the residents have tanks, which provide running water for the kitchen, but homes are not fully plumbed. The school and clinic have individual water and sewer systems. Residents haul their own honeybuckets to bunkers. A new landfill and honeybucket disposal site was completed. The business plan is completed. Work started on the wastewater treatment plant last summer but encountered human remains and artifacts; the community had to bring out an archeologist, which slowed the project down. Only the foundation and bin walls were completed before they ran out of funding. Construction is approximately 50% complete. ANTHC and the city applied for an $850,000 CDBG grant but fell below the funding line. ANTHC and the tribe submitted an ICDBG grant for supplemental funding. A direct grant to USDA has also been prepared and submitted. The Water Treatment Plant Upgrade project is complete. In addition, funding from the State of Alaska FY 2012 Captial Budget for a $150,000 sanitation improvements master plan was approved. The City of Kivalina has recently signed a cooperative project agreement for a project to fund the construction of the interior components of the wastewater treatment plant. The ANTHC sent a project superintendent to the site in March 2012 to begin this work. The city is still pursuing funding for construction of the exterior portions of the plant. The ICDBG program did not select this project for funding. There is still the possibility that USDA might fund this work.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
Kotzebue staff has been involved with the State Emergency Management Specialist and the borough coordinating with the City of Kivalina who ran out of water. The State emergency services has been gathering information to provide a fact sheet to the State disaster cabinet committee who reviews all disaster declarations and makes a recommendation to the Governor. The Governor declared Kivalina a disaster on September 7, 2012. Kotzebue staff provided the State emergency management specialist with figures they request on the amount the city expects to receive for their State revenue sharing. Kotzebue staff reported that $162,682.00 was direct deposited on August 24, 2012. The borough reported that they also are eligible to receive 39,000.00 from the borough revenue sharing which the borough has decided to use to pay to hire local labor to assist the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium to pump water into the raw water tank if needed. A teleconference on August 28th the State emergency services called, had members from the Northwest Arctic Borough (NAB), Northwest Arctic Borough School District(NWABSD), Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium(ANTHC), Maniilaq Environmental Health, and the Divison of Community and Regional Affairs (DCRA). Items discussed were: Potable Water System, Waste Cleanup and Public Health. After the meeting it was agreed by the NAB would take the lead to get a team together with resources to get water to Kivalina. It was decided that John Spriggs of Maniilaq, Margaret Hansen of DCRA meet with Bobby Schaeffer and Wendy Schaeffer of NAB to formulate an immediate plan. Kivalina has been on boil water notice since August 6th. The project has been shut down since they do not meet their RUBA essentials nor did they agree to join ARUC.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
Staff will continue to request information needed to document progress to come into compliance with the RUBA assessment. RUBA staff is available to travel to provide training and assistance as requested.

Kotzebue RUBA has received monthly financial reports for July and August 2012. Council meeting minutes approving this report are not yet submitted so they have not been submitted to the council yet.

Santorum's K Street crew - Obama adjusts fundraising numbers as caucuses rage - Naomi Wolf to launch citizen lobbying website - Republicans join fundraising deluge
SANTORUM'S K STREET CREW: Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum finished just eight votes behind Mitt Romney in the Iowa caucus after a sustained grass-roots campaign in the Hawkeye State, but that doesn't mean he's an unknown commodity inside the Beltway. Former Santorum staffers-turned-downtowners include: Mike Hershey of the National Association of Broadcasters; Mark Rodgers of the Clapham Group; Wayne Palmer of AstraZeneca; David French of the National Retail Federation; Tony Fratto of Hamilton Place Strategies; and Drew Cantor of Peck, Madigan, Jones & Stewart. Jennifer Vesey Rossman, who previously worked at places like Jeffery J. Kimbell & Associates, is back on the Santorum staff, serving as his presidential campaign's senior policy adviser for health care policy and entitlement reform. Vesey Rossman and Keith Schmidt, former Western Pennsylvania state director for Santorum and founder of Bridge Connections, were both spotted on stage with Santorum in Iowa Tuesday evening.
French said that Santorum "executed the game plan he laid out for a bunch of his former staffers about 15 months ago." French, who doesn't have an official role within the Santorum campaign, said he expects Santorum to do well in New Hampshire because he's "a very smart campaigner" and "likes doing retail campaigning."
OBAMA ADJUSTS FUNDRAISING NUMBERS AS CAUCUSES RAGE: The middle of the ridiculously anticipated Iowa caucuses, when only the Republican affair is contested, is about the best time in America for a Democrat to get himself ignored. So be it a coincidence or cleverness, Barack Obama's presidential campaign picked last night's GOP-fest to amend its second- and third-quarter campaign finance reports. It adjusted downward its contribution and cash-on-hand figures by a few thousand dollars, according to a filing submitted tonight to the Federal Election Commission. More details from Dave, including an explanation from Obama's spokesman, here: http://politi.co/w7JXCq
PI SCOOPLET … NAOMI WOLF LAUNCHING CITIZEN LOBBYING WEBSITE: Author and political consultant Naomi Wolf is leading the launch of a new website, DailyCloudt.com, which is planning a formal launch on Jan. 17. "Any citizen now has the power to build a political movement, become a pundit or have the power of a lobbyist," an invitation to a launch party in New York City reads. Lisa Thomas, James Marcus, Stephanie Berger and David Fenton are also listed on the invitation for what's billed as "a new marriage of democracy + technology." Matt Everett, an official at D.C.-based Berger Hirshberg Strategies that's helping organize the launch event, declined to comment on DailyCloudt.com's purpose or goals. As of early this afternoon, the website did not function.
A wild Wednesday to you, as last night's Iowa caucuses have successfully driven Rep. Michele Bachmann from the Republican presidential race and sent Rick Perry high-tailing back to the Lone Star State to ponder what appears to be the only viable path toward leading a nation: summarily announcing Texas is again an independent republic.
As you nurse your caucus hangover and gird for New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary, be sure to send us a tip, lead or hint about any and all lobbying, campaign finance and political influence issue. We're at email@example.com and email@example.com. Please follow us on Twitter at @apalmerdc and @davelevinthal. Some of our recent followers include: @JimCourtovich @mjbeckel @Roarty_NJ @DonMcDowell @GlobeKranish @PowerInPearls @GOPTaylor and @NolteNC.
Now back to the news on this particularly newsy day …
GILLIBRAND HUNTS FOR CASH IN EUROPE: Sure, it's illegal to accept federal political contributions from most foreigners. But that's not stopping Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) from fundraising in foreign nations: she's slated to swing through Paris, London and Geneva this weekend in a hunt for campaign cash from Americans abroad. "We would appreciate any suggestions of people that you think Kirsten should be connecting with on her trip," Gillibrand's finance director, Ross Offinger, wrote Tuesday in an email to supporters.
The Paris event, at the home of Constance Borde, calls for a $1,000 "host" contribution and $500 to attend. Passage to a Monday night reception at The Arts Club in London ranges from $250 (guest) to $5,000 (host). The Geneva affair, Tuesday night at the home of Anne-Shelton Aaron, costs between $250 to $2,500.
DEMS GEAR UP FOR EVENTS BOOSTING WOMEN CANDIDATES: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is gearing up for a Monday breakfast to plan details of a March 5 fundraiser in New York City that's headlined by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and highlights several female congressional candidates. They include incumbent Reps. Kathy Hochul of New York, Lois Capps of California, Loretta Sanchez of California and Betty Sutton of Ohio, and challengers Val Demings of Florida, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Ann McLane Kuster of New Hampshire and Christie Vilsack of Iowa. "I encourage you to join the Host Committee and commit to contribute or raise $1,000," writes Sally Minard, the event host and president and chief executive officer of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park in New York City. See the invitation here: http://bit.ly/xmCtng
REPUBLICANS JOIN FUNDRAISING DELUGE: GOP lawmakers and fundraisers are also back dialing for dollars now that the holidays are firmly in the rear-view mirror. Even if the event isn't for a few months — for example: Rep. Kevin Yoder's (R-Kan.) fundraisers sent out a solicitation for a breakfast with special guest Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on March 28 at Art & Soul. Cost: $2,000 per PAC and $1,000 per individual to host. Meanwhile, GOP fundraiser Bill Oorbeek sent out an email earlier this week with the subject: "Want to go somewhere warm with 14 Members of Congress?" The solicitation for a weekend fishing getaway with House Financial Services Chairman Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) and NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas), along with 12 GOP freshmen comes at quite the cost — $20,000 for PACs and $10,000 personal money to be on the host committee and $10,000 for PACs and $5,000 in personal money for a ticket.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORMERS CALL ON CONGRESS TO SMACK SUPER PACS: Super PACs are helping "restoring the system of legalized bribery that existed in our country in the pre-Watergate era," a new, 20-page report by campaign finance reform organization Democracy 21 concludes. "It is the responsibility of Congress to enact legislation to stop candidate-specific Super PACs from serving as vehicles for evading and circumventing the campaign finance laws and thereby to protect the integrity of our democracy," the report continues. Read it here: http://bit.ly/Ax0JjP
FSI ADDS MEMBERS: The Financial Services institute has brought on Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services and all three of its subsidiaries — Securities America, Triad Advisors and Investacorp, as well as its 2,700 affiliated independent financial advisers as FSI members for 2012. FSI President and CEO Richard Lampen said of the move "with Triad, Investacorp and the recent addition of Securities America, Ladenburg has approximately $70 billion in client assets and is in a leadership position in the attractive independent brokerage and advisory space, one of the most vibrant areas in the financial services industry." He added: "By enrolling all of our 2,700 independent financial advisors in the FSI, we're helping to ensure that our advisers' voices are heard in Washington and the states in which they operate as we continue to grow the Ladenburg franchise."
STEPTOE & JOHNSON FIRM ADDS FORMER FEDERAL OFFICIAL: Law and lobbying firm Steptoe & Johnson has hired former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Commissioner Marc Spitzer as a partner in its D.C.-based electric power group. "As the electric industry is in a state of transition, with FERC leading the way on a number of public policy initiatives, Marc's tenure as a FERC commissioner, where he garnered a sterling reputation as a team player, will be an invaluable resource to our clients as they address new challenges in the industry," said Roger E. Warin, chairman of Steptoe & Johnson.
WIKIMEDIA LOOKS TO K ST. ON SOPA, PIPA: The Wikimedia Foundation has hired new K Street help, our colleagues at Morning Tech reported this a.m. The foundation has brought on Dow Lohnes Government Strategies just as Congress is working on controversial bills that would crack down on illegal online content. MT writes that "folks at the Wikimedia Foundation have grappled with SOPA, in particular, over the past few weeks — and it's possible that Wikipedia could go dark in protest of the bill."
BILBRAY TAPS NEW D.C. FUNDRAISER: Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.) has hired Reid Political Consulting of Alexandria, Va. The firm "will handle his D.C. fundraising and outreach," Ashlee Reid Morehouse wrote to colleagues Tuesday. Reid Morehouse continues: "Rep. Bilbray is a member of the NRCC Patriot Program (incumbent retention) and your support in the upcoming months will make a big difference towards his general election challenge! … We are planning several industry-specific events, if you are interested in serving as a host to your colleagues, please let me know!"
ENERGY ALLIANCE TAPS NEW PRESIDENT: Trade association Western Energy Alliance named Tim Wigley as its new president. "We have great confidence that his experience in public outreach will help us further educate the public and policymakers on the real potential of western oil and natural gas, and the solutions producers provide to our nation's most pressing economic and security challenges," said Tom Sheffield, chairman of Western Energy Alliance's board of directors. Formerly known as the Independent Petroleum Association of Mountain States, Western Energy Alliance typically spends between $70,000 and $85,000 each year lobbying the federal government, federal records show. Wigley comes from PAC/WEST, where he managed the firm's D.C. operations.
GLEN ECHO GROUP EXPANDS: Rebecca Mark has joined the Glen Echo Group as senior director of media affairs. The former press secretary to Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), will lead media relations and strategic media efforts for the firm. Glen Echo Group President Maura Corbett said of the hire: "We created Glen Echo Group with the goal to provide highly customized strategic communications to an elite group of clients, and we've been very picky about when and with whom to expand our team. Rebecca's experience, drive and relationships with the media, along with her campaign and Capitol Hill experience, will add a valuable component to our team, and her unique perspectives will help our clients communicate with thought leaders both in the private and public sectors."
HOSPITALS' K ST. PROWESS TO BE TESTED: Health care reporter Matt DoBias has an interesting piece looking at whether the powerful hospital lobby has lost its mojo. While the hospitals were able to stave off cuts early in 2011, the year ended on a more uncertain note over the debate on the "doc fix," which was eventually put on hold. "Questions about the hospitals' clout will likely be answered early — and potential often — as the American Hospital Association and its allies pick up a lobbying agenda that starts largely where last year left off: fighting about the Sustainable Growth Formula," DoBias reports.

Readers' Comments (2)
James Dobson, Donald Wildman, Paul & Nancy Pressler, Gary Bauer, etc., all claim to be Republicans. They may be, ...or they may be RINO's.
Since the currrent primary run-off system is a popularity contest, oblivious of the candidates' innate abilities, if they have any, to be President, it falls far below what a selection process for a Presidential candidate should be
But what process should be utilized to select a candidate?
The previously mentioned individuals have decided to run that same popularity contest solely among themselves. Some of us would call this "elitism," even if we are Republicans.
America was not created to either create, nor support aristocrats, aka "elitists."
So, the best we lazy, uninformed, superstitious, self-centered Americans can come up with is a popularity contest, since rather than admit we don't know how to pick a Presidential candidate, we do NOT want to forgo our right ot vote (no matter how dumb the results of our voting are)..
If we weren't so stolid, however, we'd wonder how the US has become such a debacle in just 100 years, (since it certaintly wasn't our fault).
Could it be that while we were voting away our Constitutional rights and privileges in exchange for unions that overpay government workers, forming sociological safety nets for doctors and lawyers, doing away with all but a minor part of our military officer corps, creating the fiction of Medicare, destroying Social Security, reversing equal rights, reopening diplomatic relations with the Vatican, encouraging CIA terrorism, overfunding the DOD to poke its nose into the foreign affairs of our world neighbors, giving up our market based banking system, surrendering our civil rights for the Patriot Act and the Defense Authorization Act (because we're sensitive about what the Haquanni say about us), etc., and in one instance, assassinating our own President, we never noticed that only one person in public office who had a legitimate solution to these illegal acts?
That "one person" was Ron Paul. He worked for more two decades as a diligent and responsible Federal Legislator, and we were all so accustomed to letting criminals run our government, and being criminals ourselves, that we never even considered his advice: "follow the law in government." Paul suggested keeping the operation of government coincident with its "blue print," the Constitution.
In 81 years Ron Paul is the only public official to announce the glaring problem with the Federal government (which is performing 80% of its tasks on illegal activities), and even more commendably, to provide a solution to the present state of Federal socipathic psychopathy. Today, he is the only Presidential candidate to have any solution to the US crash dive into oblivion.
Wouldn't it make sense to make Ron Paul our President, since he has the answer, and his competitors are without any solution, so they will just continue the American crash dive into oblivion, if they are elected President?
The REAL reason Santorum lost his senate seat-
Rick Santorum named MOST CORRUPT SENATOR ….go look it up!
That's the reason he lost his seat! And the MSM trying to upsell this corruption to the American public. Disgraceful!
The fact is, Rick Santorum does have a long history of supporting gun control.
In the 90s, he voted to support the Lautenberg Gun Ban, which stripped law-abiding gun owners of their Second Amendment rights for life, simply because they spanked their children or did nothing more than grab a spouses wrist.
He voted for a bill in 1999 disguised as an attempt to increase penalties on drug traffickers with guns… but it also included a provision to require federal background checks at gun shows.
And then he voted with gun-controlling Democrats Dianne Fienstein and Frank Lautenberg to mandate locks on handguns in 2005.
But worst of all, Rick Santorum has a storied history of bailing out anti-gun Republicans facing reelection.
Rick Santorum came to anti-gun Arlen Specter's defense in 2004 when he was down in the polls against pro-gun Republican Pat Toomey. Specter won and continued to push for gun control during his years in the Senate.
He also supported and openly campaigned for anti-gun New Jersey governor, Christine Todd Whitman.
The evidence is clear. Not only is Rick Santorum refusing to reveal where he stands on important Second Amendment issues, he has a long record of supporting anti-gun legislation and politicians. http://www.nationalgunrights.o...
Rick Santorum is going to get us all killed by starting WW3. China has already said they will back Iran. We can not afford to go to war with China, let alone the fact that it may end up taking place right here on American soil once China joins them.
It's puzzling to some that Major General Zhang Zhaozhong, a professor from the Chinese National Defense University, said China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a third World War
CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief Endorses Rep. Ron Paul
The trouble with my uncle, Rick Santorum
Rick Santorum, like most Republican candidates, fashions himself the one true conservative running in 2012. If the thought of big, intrusive liberal government offends you, he might just be your man. And if you favor a big, intrusive Republican government, he's unquestionably your candidate.

Holy Cross Stays In The Hunt For 2006 Patriot League
The Crusaders enter this week's game in second place in the Patriot League with a 4-1 mark in conference games so far this year, just a half game behind Lehigh. If Holy Cross can defeat Colgate, it has a good chance to claim at least a share of this season's Patriot League title. The Crusaders have won five Patriot League championships in their history (all of them outright), but have not captured the conference title since 1991. Holy Cross also won league titles in 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1990. Earlier this season, the Crusaders won their first three Patriot League games for the seventh time in school history, and the first time since 2001. During five of the previous six seasons in which Holy Cross opened Patriot League play 3-0, it went on to win the conference title with an unbeaten league record. Now in their 21st season of play in the Patriot League, the Crusaders own an all-time record of 60-54 (.526) in conference action.
Crusaders Look To Reach Eight Wins
If Holy Cross can post a victory in its regular season finale against Colgate, the Crusaders would finish the regular season with an overall record of 8-3. With eight victories, Holy Cross would post its most wins since the 1991 squad ended the year with a perfect 11-0 record. In the 111-year history of Crusader football, Holy Cross has previously reached eight victories in a season on 20 occasions: 1903 (8-2), 1923 (8-2), 1925 (8-2), 1930 (8-2), 1934 (8-2), 1935 (9-0-1), 1937 (8-0-2), 1938 (8-1), 1945 (8-2), 1951 (8-2), 1952 (8-2), 1982 (8-3), 1983 (9-2-1), 1984 (8-3), 1986 (10-1), 1987 (11-0), 1988 (9-2), 1989 (10-1), 1990 (9-1-1) and 1991 (11-0).
Randolph Leads Crusader Offense
Sophomore quarterback Dominic Randolph (Amelia, Ohio) has developed into an excellent leader for the Holy Cross offense so far this season, and was recently named the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week in four consecutive weeks, becoming the first player in conference history to accomplish that feat. In last week's victory over Bucknell, Randolph completed 19 of 33 attempts for 277 yards and two scores. The previous week against Lehigh, he hit on 26 of 53 attempts for 309 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Earlier in the season at Lafayette, Randolph completed 34 of 46 passes for 352 yards and four scores, in addition to rushing for a touchdown. He broke the school single game record with his 34 completions (Brian Hall previously held the record with 32 against Lafayette in 2001), while his 352 yards were the most by a Crusader quarterback since Hall threw for 366 yards against Fordham on Nov. 9, 2002. Randolph also had a huge game against Brown, when he connected on 30 of 39 attempts for 329 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. Randolph's 30 completions were the fifth-most in school history in a single game. Some of his other top performances this season have come against Dartmouth (20 of 32 passing for 259 yards and a touchdown), Fordham (completing 19 of 27 attempts for 263 yards and three touchdowns, in addition to delivering a key 48-yard rush in the fourth quarter to secure the victory), Marist (hitting on eight of 12 passes for 101 yards and a score) and Georgetown (connecting on 10 of 15 attempts for 79 yards). Overall this season, Randolph has completed 166 of 257 attempts for 1,969 yards and 17 touchdowns with only five interceptions, despite missing two games due to injury. In addition, he recently had a streak of 160 straight passes thrown without an interception.
Crusaders Show Outstanding Depth At Wide
Holy Cross has shown that it has a number of other weapons in the passing game this season, as five different wide receivers have already recorded over 20 receptions on the year. Junior wide receiver Ryan Maher (Boca Raton, Fla.) leads the team with 65 catches for 739 yards and six touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Thomas Harrison (Wilmington, N.C.) has caught 43 passes for 524 yards and four touchdowns, while sophomore wide out Brett McDermott (Mansfield, Mass.) has added 36 receptions for 478 yards and four touchdowns. In addition, senior wide receiver Matt Fanning (Marlborough, Mass.) has posted 31 catches for 394 yards and three scores, and sophomore wide out Jon Brock (Acworth, Ga.) has brought in 23 receptions for 247 yards and three scores. All told this season, eight different Holy Cross wide receivers have already caught at least one pass.
DeSantis Kicks Crusaders To
Senior placekicker Mike DeSantis (Belle Mead, N.J.) continues to show why he is one of the top placekickers in the Patriot League. In the victory at Lafayette, DeSantis hit a 20-yard field goal and all five of his extra point attempts, including the 124th extra point of his Holy Cross career to break the school record for career extra points made. Earlier in the season at Dartmouth, he made three of four field goals and his only extra point try for a total of 10 points, including a game-winning 18-yard field goal in overtime. Following the Dartmouth contest, DeSantis was named the Patriot League Special Teams Player of the Week. Through 10 games played this season, he leads the team in scoring with 47 points, making six of nine field goals and 29 of 31 extra points. DeSantis, who was a second team All-Patriot League selection in 2004, has now hit on 24 of 34 career field goal attempts and 130 of 142 career extra points for a total of 202 points. He holds the school records for career field goal percentage (70.6 percent) and career extra points made, while standing third in career field goals made. In addition, DeSantis has become only the sixth player in school history to score 200 career points.
The Last Meeting With Colgate
Bob Turkovich had a career-high six receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown, but it was not enough as Holy Cross was defeated by Colgate 27-14 on Family Weekend at Fitton Field. On Colgate's opening possession, the Crusaders stripped the ball from wide receiver Erik Burke and John Markus Pinard recovered the fumble to give Holy Cross the ball at the Raiders' 48-yard line. On the very next play, John O'Neil threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Turkovich, giving the Crusaders a 7-0 lead. Colgate came right back down the field to tie the score at 7-7 on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Mike Saraceno to Burke. The Raiders then went up 14-7 early in the second quarter on a two-yard run by Jordan Scott. But Holy Cross would tie the score before the intermission, with O'Neil tossing a 19-yard touchdown pass to Sean Gruber. Both teams struggled to move the ball during the third quarter, before Colgate's Jacob Stein hit a pair of short field goals in the fourth quarter to put the Raiders up 20-14. The Crusaders then drove into Colgate territory with under five minutes left to play, before Jared Nepa intercepted a pass and returned it 62 yards for a touchdown to conclude the scoring. O'Neil completed 21 of 38 passes for 252 yards on the day, while Steve Silva posted 10 receptions for 63 yards. Scott led the Raiders by rushing for 222 yards and a score on 45 carries, and received the Dr. Edward N. Anderson Award as the most valuable player of the Family Weekend game. Dan Adams led the Holy Cross defense with a career-high 21 solo tackles, while Nepa totaled eight tackles, a tackle for loss, and interception and a pass breakup for Colgate.
Gough Steps Up In The Secondary
Senior cornerback Casey Gough (Hinsdale, Ill.) is once again among the top defensive backs and kickoff returners in the Patriot League this season. In the victory at Lafayette, he ranked second on the team with seven tackles, in addition to posting a fourth quarter interception to end the Leopards' final drive. In the previous game at Dartmouth, he posted seven tackles with one tackle for loss and a key pass breakup in the fourth quarter to prevent a touchdown. Earlier in the year against Fordham, Gough recorded six tackles, four tackles for loss, a sack and a key interception, to win the Johnny Turco Memorial Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of Holy Cross' Homecoming game. He also had a strong game at Marist, where he totaled five solo tackles, two tackles for loss, a forced fumble and an interception to earn Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week honors. Through the first 10 games of the year, he has now totaled 49 tackles, eight tackles for loss, three interceptions and five pass breakups. Gough is also enjoying a solid season as the Crusaders' top kickoff returner, averaging 20.9 yards on 28 returns. Prior to the start of the year, Gough was named a preseason honorable mention All-American as a kickoff returner by Don Hansen's Football Gazette. A year ago, he was named second team All-Patriot League, after posting a team-best three interceptions, 45 tackles, three tackles for loss and six pass breakups. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Gough has now totaled 142 tackles, seven interceptions and 19 pass breakups. He has also totaled 1,324 yards and a touchdown on 52 career kickoff returns, to rank third all-time at Holy Cross in career kickoff return yards, and second in career kickoff return average (25.5 yards per return).
Defense Continues Impressive Play
Through the first 10 games of the 2006 season, the Holy Cross defense has developed into one of the better units in the Patriot League. The Crusaders have held four of their opponents to less than 300 yards of total offense, with Holy Cross posting a victory on each of those four occasions. Last week against Bucknell, Holy Cross gave up just 252 total yards and 10 points. On Sept. 30, Fordham managed just 245 total yards, while completing only eight of 27 passes and scoring just 13 points on offense. Previously at Marist, the Crusaders won 27-0 to post the second shutout during Tom Gilmore's tenure as head coach (to go along with a 24-0 win at Dartmouth on Oct. 16, 2004), while holding the Red Foxes to just 265 yards of total offense. In the season-opening victory at Georgetown, Holy Cross allowed just 248 total yards and 13 points to the Hoyas. Since the beginning of the 2004 season, the Crusaders have now held their opposition to under 300 yards of total offense eight times. Through the first 10 contests of the 2006 campaign, the Crusaders are holding their opponents to just 20.6 points, 16.8 first downs and 321.7 yards per game, with a 103.4 pass efficiency rating.
Nielsen Enjoying Another Big Year
Senior linebacker Chris Nielsen (Center Line, Mich.) is one of the top players for the Holy Cross defense this season, having totaled 40 tackles with nine tackles for loss, a team-high six sacks and a pass breakup through 10 games. In the victory over Brown, he posted a career-high three sacks, while recording four total tackles, to earn Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week honors. Previously against Fordham, Nielsen made four solo tackles with a pair of sacks for eight yards. Last year he was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District I first team, for his outstanding work both on the field and in the classroom (3.43 grade point average in mathematics). During the 2005 season, Nielsen ranked second on the team with 72 total tackles, including 61 solo stops and a team-best eight tackles for loss. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Nielsen now has 134 total tackles, 110 solo tackles and 19 tackles for loss.
Adams Keeps Racking Up Tackles
Senior linebacker Dan Adams (Springfield, Va.) is once again one of the top defensive players in the Patriot League this year, and has led Holy Cross in tackles in nine out of 10 contests this season. In last week's victory over Bucknell, he totaled 13 tackles, with 11 solo stops, two tackles for loss, a sack and a pass breakup. The previous week against Lehigh, Adams totaled 14 tackles with 11 solo stops and a tackle for loss, while in the victory at Lafayette, he posted 11 total tackles, including 10 solo stops. Previously he ranked second on the team with 10 total tackles at Dartmouth (including six solo stops), posted a game-high 11 tackles against Brown (including 10 solo stops), while recording nine solo tackles at Harvard (including one tackle for loss). Earlier in the season against Northeastern, he led the team with 10 total tackles, including eight solo stops and two tackles for loss. In the season opener at Georgetown, Adams totaled eight tackles, with three tackles for loss, an interception, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup. Following the Georgetown contest, Adams was named the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week, and received the Boston Globe Gold Helmet award. Through 10 games, he has now totaled 98 tackles, including 80 solo stops and a team-best 11 tackles for loss. Prior to the start of the season, Adams was named the 16th-best linebacker in all of Division I-AA by the Sports Network. A year ago, he led the Holy Cross defense with 115 total tackles, including 97 solo stops, four tackles for loss and one sack. He finished the season as the national leader in solo tackles with an average of 8.8 per game, while ranking 21st in the country in total tackles. Adams' top game in 2005 came against Colgate, when he set an NCAA single game record with 21 solo tackles (since tackles became an official statistic in 2000). Over the course of his career as a Crusader, he has now totaled 306 total tackles, 246 solo stops and 17 tackles for loss. Last week, Adams will became just the ninth player in school history with 300 career tackles.
Head Coach Tom Gilmore
Tom Gilmore is in his third season as head coach at the College of the Holy Cross. Gilmore enters this week's game with an overall record of 16-16, as the Crusaders have won 16 of his last 27 games. Earlier this season he led Holy Cross to a five-game winning streak, the longest by the Crusaders since the 1991 season. Last year, Gilmore guided Holy Cross to an overall record of 6-5, with tailback Steve Silva earning first team All-America honors. On Oct. 8, 2005, Gilmore led the Crusaders to their first victory over a ranked team since 2000, with a 13-10 win at No. 10 Lehigh. Gilmore came to Holy Cross after serving as defensive coordinator at Lehigh for four seasons, during which the Mountain Hawks were one of the finest defensive teams in Division I-AA. In 2001, he was named as the American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year, after molding a young and inexperienced defense into a unit that allowed just 15.8 points per game and 86.6 yards rushing per game. Gilmore previously spent time as an assistant coach at Dartmouth (1992-1999), Pennsylvania (1986, 1990-1991) and Columbia (1987-1989). An Academic All-American at Pennsylvania, Gilmore graduated in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in computer mathematics. He was the Ivy League Player of the Year as a senior and helped lead the Quakers to four consecutive Ivy League titles.
Gass & Kielt Head Up Ground
The Crusader offense has displayed a solid rushing attack in 2006, running for 109.5 yards per game with 10 rushing touchdown. Sophomore tailback Terrance Gass (Sicklerville, N.J.) currently leads the team in rushing with 450 yards and four touchdowns on 107 carries this season, in addition to catching 15 passes for 137 yards and two scores. Gass' top game of the season came against Fordham, when he ran 21 times for a career-high 102 yards and a touchdown, in addition to catching five passes for 56 yards and another score. Some of his other top performances this year have been against Dartmouth (18 carries for 79 yards and a score), Brown (18 rushes for 65 yards and a touchdown) and Georgetown (15 carries for 56 yards and a score). Sophomore tailback Mike Kielt (Southbury, Conn.) is also enjoying a strong season with 441 yards and four scores on 93 carries, to go along with 13 receptions for 69 yards. In last week's victory over Bucknell, Kielt ran 26 times for a career-high 149 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while catching three passes for 32 yards. His other top games in 2006 have been against Northeastern (14 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown) and Marist (11 rushes for 71 yards).
McManaway Keeps Kicking Away
Senior punter Ryan McManaway (Ferdinand, Ind.) is enjoying another solid year as one of the top punters in the Patriot League. Through the first 10 games of the 2006 season, McManaway has averaged 36.1 yards on 40 punts. He has placed nine of his 40 kicks this year inside the opponents' 20-yard line, while forcing the opposition to call 15 fair catches. In addition, McManaway has led Holy Cross to a net punting average of 34.2 yards per kick, a mark which ranks second in the conference and 30th in the nation. McManaway, who was named second team All-Patriot League in 2005, has averaged 34.8 yards on 195 punts during his collegiate career, while placing 36 kicks inside the opponents' 20-yard line. He enters this week's game ranked third all-time at Holy Cross in career punts, and fourth in career punting yards (6,788).
Defending The Home Turf
Holy Cross has enjoyed great success at Fitton Field over the years. The Crusaders, who played their first game at Fitton Field in 1903, have posted an all-time home mark of 345-163-27 (.669). Fitton Field is the second-oldest stadium still used for Division I college football, behind only Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania (opened in 1895). Holy Cross' best decade at home occurred from 1980-1989, when the Crusaders recorded a 41-12-1 mark.

UNI opened their conference season with a 1-0 victory over Indiana State and then went on to tie the Drake Bulldogs, 1-1 in double overtime. The 1-0-1 start to MVC play marks the best start in conference play in program history. The Panthers will look to continue their success against Missouri State on Sat., Oct. 6, at the Cedar Valley Soccer Complex. First kick is set for 2:00 p.m.
Scouting the Opponents
Missouri State is off to a 6-6-2, 0-1-1 MVC start this season. The Bears offensive attack features a trio up front with three players tallying three goals or more on the season. Michelle Sommer and Rachel Weimer have four goals apiece while Shelby Stewart has three scores credited to her name. Molly Brewer has four assists on the season for Missouri State and has chipped in with two goals. Two-time MVC player of the week honoree Nia Williams anchors the Missouri State defense that has allowed one goal or less 10 times this season. Chelsea Voet has played every minute in goal for Missouri State this season, posting 57 saves and six shutouts. Head Coach Rob Brewer is entering his 17th season at the helm of the Bears.
Starting Conference on the Right Foot
UNI is 1-0-1 in MVC play this season. It is the first time in program history that UNI is unbeaten in its first two MVC matches. UNI has never started out conference play unbeaten in three consecutive matches. The Panthers will attempt the feat vs. Missouri State on Saturday.
Balanced Attack
Nine different Panthers have scored this season with sophomore Charlotte Jones leading the way with four. Nine Panthers also have an assist credited to their name including senior Melissa Hagan and junior Claire Clark with two apiece.
Getting to Extra Time
Extra time has been something the Panthers have thrived on throughout this season. To date, UNI is 3-0-1 in extra time with victories over Eastern Illinois, North Dakota State, and St. Ambrose. The lone draw came against MVC-foe Drake.
Posting Zeros
Junior goalkeeper Erin Zaideman posted her fourth shutout of the season over St. Ambrose. Zaideman is closing in on the program record for shutouts in a season at UNI (5).

THE FOOD It's difficult to pinpoint where Carlyle's loyalties lie when it comes to cuisine. At the core, however, most of its dishes are inspired by French technique, Italian rusticity, and American innovation—a combination that's become quite common in Portland restaurants but is rarely executed with as much precision as it is at Carlyle.
Here, each combination contains one or two delightfully surprising elements, ones that chef Jake Martin doesn't choose for the sake of gimmickry, but rather to elevate the main ingredient. A roasted fillet of Alaskan halibut set atop a tender summer-bean ragout might sound boring, but when paired with the saltiness and the smokiness of shredded, braised ham hock and the sweet earthiness of a sweet basil jus, it's elevated to a kind of delicate and refined surf-and-turf. A single square of velvety ravioli filled with liquefied summer corn and drizzled with a tart saba (a sweet and thick wine vinegar that hails from Italy) provides just the right amount of piquancy needed to cut through the richness of seared Sonoma foie gras.
But when it comes to classic dishes like risotto, Martin doesn't mess with what he knows has worked for centuries: Made with Carnaroli rice, which contains more starch than other risotto rice varieties, Martin's rendition is flavored with large chunks of sweet lobster and a concentrated lobster broth; a decadent goat-cheese butter is folded in at the end. It's simple, as risotto always should be, but the flavors are undeniably extravagant.
THE CHEF When it comes to the brains behind Carlyle's kitchen, the restaurant has gone through a bit of an identity crisis since owner Bruce Goldberg opened it in 2003. Indeed, three head chefs have passed through its doors, and while each continued to elevate Carlyle's menu, what ended up on the table often suffered from a lack of soulful execution and consistency. That is, until September, when chef Jake Martin took over, fresh from his post as chef de cuisine at Seattle's lauded Veil restaurant. Before that, he teamed with Ethan Stowell at Union and with Maria Hines at Tilth—both Seattle restaurants that, were they located here in Portland, would certainly appear in our list of favorites. At Carlyle, Martin matches the modern, sparse atmosphere of the dining room with his delicately plated works of minimalist culinary art. But when it comes to the flavors on the plate, Martin achieves flavors and textures that are not only sensual but downright elegant in their restraint.
THE ATMOSPHERE Walk in around 5 o'clock and there'll likely be a dozen folks sitting at the classy bar—all of them staring right at you. Don't take it personally. Carlyle happens to be located in the oddly quiet no-man's land that lies just underneath i-405, northwest of the Pearl District, and its regular patrons are often curious as to how you might have stumbled onto the place. While the bar exudes an upscale happy-hour charm, the dining room is slightly stiffer. That's not a bad thing. But compared to all the exposed wooden beams and rough-hewn Douglas fir tables gracing just about every other restaurant in town, Carlyle's rectilinear dining room, with its polished marble floors, may feel to some diners quite modern in its formality. As far as we're concerned, Portland could use a little more of that kind of refinement.
THE SERVICE Carlyle is one of the few restaurants in Portland with true professional servers, as opposed to employees who consider waiting tables merely a way to fund their rock-band fantasies. In the details: black pants, button-up shirts, and crisp aprons. In their demeanor: cordial and helpful, but not overwhelmingly so. They are articulate about the caramelized summer squash tortellini you're about to order without waxing overly poetic.

Are there any other ways to destroy variables other than = nil?
The reason I ask is that certain badly coded cheats(*************** etc) do crap like nil = "point/to/script.sqf";
Which when someone comes on the server using that shit, causes more destruction to the running mission than the actual bloody cheat itself by starting to point variables to scripts and crap..
Is it maybe possible to do this?
In init.sqf
myownnil = nil;
Then use destroythisvariable = myownnil;
without myownnil being affected in case nil gets overwritten?

Shutdown averted? FEMA has enough disaster money
September 26, 2011 at 10:18 am in The Daily Republic
WASHINGTON (AP) After weeks of political brinkmanship in Congress, the threat of a partial government shutdown appeared to ease Monday with the disclosure that money to aid victims of natural disasters may last through the end of the budget year after all. Continue Reading

I understand that electrolytic capacitors with vents should not be mounted upside-down.
I read that the vent may not function properly and the electrolyte may leak out.
Smaller electrolytic capacitors often do not have such a vent, instead having a scored top.
I don't see any reason to expect a problem in this case. Is there any restriction on the mounting orientation of this style of capacitor?

CLEVELAND—Jamal Lewis isn't the only one who knows the Ravens' weakness now.
A less-than-sellout crowd at Cleveland Browns Stadium witnessed the Ravens expose their greatest flaw of the season -- no sense of urgency.
Quarterback Steve McNair couldn't make plays in the red zone. The Ravens' once-feared defense got pushed around up front and allowed big plays in the secondary.
The special teams had untimely lapses, from returner Yamon Figurs' fumble to a costly offside penalty on a missed field-goal attempt by the Browns. Even the usually automatic Matt Stover, fresh off a game-winning kick last week, missed two field-goal tries.
One of their poorest all-around efforts in recent memory dropped the Ravens to 2-2 overall (0-2 AFC North) and tied with the Browns (2-2) in the division behind the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1).
"This is a pretty low point for us," said tight end Todd Heap, who is unsure about his status after injuring his hamstring at the end of the third quarter. "You think how the game went, and not a whole lot went our way. Those are the most frustrating games when you don't even put ourselves in position to win."
The Ravens had the top-ranked defense last season but they continue to lose their aura of dominance on that side of the ball. They gave up three touchdowns on the Browns' first five drives, including the game's opening series (a rarity over the years for this defense).
The Ravens ran the ball only 20 times against the NFL's second-worst run defense and scored a touchdown once on four trips inside the Browns' 20-yard line.
The Ravens' third loss in their past four trips to Cleveland was best summed up by coach Brian Billick.
"We just got our butts beat, plain and simple," he said. "What happens when you get your butt whupped like that, you try to correct it and move on to the next game. There's no [more] magical answers than that."
The turning point came in a four-minute span in the first quarter.
After Derek Anderson's 2-yard touchdown pass to Joe Jurevicius on the first drive, the Ravens answered by marching to the Cleveland 27-yard line. But McNair was intercepted while throwing to Heap, who was double-covered.
One play later, Browns receiver Braylon Edwards soundly beat cornerback Chris McAlister for a 78-yard touchdown catch, putting the Browns up 14-0. When Edwards caught the ball, he had 5 yards on McAlister.
"I just didn't play my man," McAlister said. "He made the better play."
The teams traded field goals in the second quarter before the Ravens messed up mightily again.
Figurs, who scored a touchdown on a punt return last week, fumbled a kickoff after a hit by former Raven Darnell Dinkins, giving the Browns the ball at the Ravens' 31.
The Browns eventually missed a field-goal attempt, but McAlister was called for a neutral-zone infraction.
Given a first down and a second chance, the Browns increased their lead to 24-3 when Jamal Lewis scored a questionable touchdown on a 1-yard dive. Replays seemed to indicate Lewis didn't reach the goal line when he stretched his arms to hold the ball out over the pile.

Background information
Increasing agricultural productivity, climate resiliency, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions are triple imperatives. The global food system will encounter an unprecedented convergence of pressures over the next few decades. On the demand side, global population will increase from nearly 7 billion currently to over 9 billion by 2050; many are likely to be more affluent, creating demand for a more varied, high-quality diet requiring additional resources to produce. On the production side, competition for land, water and energy will intensify significantly, while the effects of climate change will become more and more evident. The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate will also become crucial. Over this period, globalization will further expose the food system to the vagaries of economic and political forces.
To achieve food security, agricultural production must increase by 70% to feed over 9 billion people by 2050 – whilst conserving the natural ecosystems. Agricultural activities are highly sensitive to climate and weather conditions, and the accelerating pace of climate change adds to the challenge of meeting the food security needs of the growing population. Farmers will be affected by an increasingly uncertain climate in the years ahead with more frequent and severe droughts, more floods and decreasing potential yields of most crops in most developing countries. We cannot address climate change without addressing emissions from the agriculture sector. Agriculture, livestock and deforestation/forest degradation together account for around thirty percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But agriculture is also part of the solution. With better agricultural, land and water management practices, the sector could sequester 13% of current annual GHG emissions.
Agriculture is the only sector that offers a
triple win
of enhanced productivity and food security, increased climate resilience and reduced greenhouse gas emissions growth. Achieving this triple win may require a redesign of the whole agricultural system to bring sustainability to the fore.
Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) addresses the challenges of food security, climate adaptation and mitigation in an integrated fashion, rather than in isolation. CSA seeks to sustainably increase agricultural productivity, increase agro-ecosystem resilience (adaptation) to climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by agricultural production systems and enhance the achievement of national food security and development goals. The CSA transition requires transformations in the management of soil, water, landscapes, technologies and genetic resources to ensure sustainable higher productivity and resilience while reducing the greenhouse gas footprint. Achieving the needed level of growth on a lower greenhouse gas emission trajectory requires maximizing synergies and minimizing trade-offs between productivity and emissions per unit of agricultural product.
There is increasing recognition of the links between agriculture, food security and climate change, and a number of important processes are under way to advance this agenda. The CGIAR (Consultative Group on Agricultural Research) has launched a major five year program on agriculture and climate change. The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases brings together more than 30 countries to collaborate in research and development of technologies and practices to produce more food with fewer emissions. The Commission on Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change will launch a major report on agriculture, food security and climate change prior to COP17 in Durban in December 2011. The Commission is led by Sir John Beddington, the UK Chief Scientist, and includes imminent scientists from 13 developed and developing countries. And agriculture, food security and climate change was the subject of a high level event in the margins of last years' climate change negotiations in Cancun. The proposed scientific conference in Wageningen builds on these processes, and provides also the knowledge and science link between the November 2010 Global Conference on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change in the Hague and the African conference in Addis Ababa which preceded it in September 2010, and following global conferences including the 17th UN Climate Change negotiations in Durban, the official follow-up of the 'Down2Earth conference' in Vietnam and the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, RIO+20. During the The Hague Conference more than 60 Ministers discussed the so-called
Roadmap for Action
, highlighting the critical role of agriculture to achieve global climate change and food security goals. The current conference builds on this roadmap.

Added new new poster, stills and videos for the upcoming Korean documentary "Red Maria"
Character 'Jong-hee'
"Red Maria" (2011)
Directed by Kyung-soon
In Korea, Japan and The Philippines, there are many women with diverse jobs and her stories. Among them, this film focuses on women who are called housewives, sex workers, dispatched workers, migrant workers, comfort women, homeless and so on. The camera tracks them as they go about their everyday lives. These women have never met one another, and their lives look quite different from one another. However, their lives are connected across national borders by the one thing they have in common. That's their bodies and labor. How can such different forms of labor be linked to the women's bodies in such a similar way? As we search for answers to this question, we are forced to confront another question: 'the meaning of labor' as an ideology that is reproduced in society.
Director's statement
This documentary is about women's bodies and labor. In global capitalism, many women are expelled to the peripheries of society, where they are labeled housewives, sex workers, dispatched workers, migrant workers, homeless and so on. In the marginalized world of women, their bodies have special meaning. A woman's body becomes a means of labor or a commodity itself. However, sometimes, it is regarded as tainted, hence subject to moral judgement. aims to document these women's bodies that support the existence of global capitalism in the lowliest place, thereby raising the question - from the perspective of women and labor - of what it means socially to "work hard".

As a writer, I enjoy penning tales that celebrate male beauty, mind, body and soul. As doctors and researchers, the folks in the psychology department at McGill University are concerned with how men evaluate certain features of their genitals.
In fact they are conducting research on this very subject in the form of an Internet survey, which I found to be an interesting piece of research in this era of size matters.
Enlightenedmale2000 currently gets around four thousand hits a day, most of which, I assume, are from men. And since men, gay straight, bisexual or otherwise, are critically conscientious of their genitals, this survey sparked my curiosity about what you would change about yours.
The following image is my perception of perfection. Not too much pubic hair or too little. The penis is not too big or too small and is accompanied by a nice low hanging scrotum, nearly hairless and weighted with a pair of well-defined testicles, all of which has appealing shape and color. I would trade with this guy.
So, given a chance to change something about your genitals, what would it be? A longer or thicker penis? More or less pubic hair? A straighter erection? A harder erection? Want your foreskin back, or get rid of the one you have? Larger or smaller glans? A mole or wart in the wrong place? Or maybe you're among the fortunate few who are completely satisfied by how everything is hanging down there.

Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps
9th Grade Center
7616 S. Garnett
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma 74012-8705
Main Number: 918-357-4324
The objectives of the AFJROTC program are to educate and train high school cadets in citizenship and life skills; promote community service; instill responsibility, character, and self-discipline through character education, and to provide instruction in air and space fundamentals. Enrollment is open to all young people who are in the ninth grade or higher, physically fit, and are citizens or nationals of the United States.
Since its formation in August of 2002, the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps
(AFJROTC) program at Union Public Schools has grown into one of the most decorated and most respected units in Green Country. Union's color guards conduct nearly 100 flag ceremonies each year and its competitive drill and fitness teams have won trophies in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri and Kansas.
Union's AFJROTC program was the only organization of any kind to represent the state of Oklahoma in the Presidential Inaugural Parade in 2009. It conducts formal military ceremonies and volunteer services for community and veteran's groups throughout the area massing in excess of 2,000 hours of community service annually.
The program was selected as one of 90 units to receive the 2009-2010 Air Force Junior ROTC Distinguished Unit Award. This award recognizes Air Force Junior ROTC units that have performed above and beyond normal expectations, and that have distinguished themselves through outstanding service to their school and community while meeting the Air Force Junior ROTC mission of producing better citizens for America.
Cadets learn self-discipline, planning and goal setting, military skills, physical fitness and self-defense during a four-year academic program. The program is designed to build the character and confidence in each student so they can face the challenges of the modern world.
Cadet Organization
The Corps of Cadets is organized in the same manner as an active duty Air Force Group. It is comprised of a group commander and group staff, three squadrons each with two 12-person flights.

Keith Olbermann is ticking through the polls and remarking on the Martha Coakley "free fall." He is subdued, if not despondent, as he reviews the finger-pointing festival that has broken out among the Democrats. But Rachel Maddow is nearly catatonic. "It is remarkable to see the blaming going around," she muses before a single vote is counted. "Something went wrong in the Democratic strategy," she intones.
Now, the MSNBC folks know no more than the rest of them, but if the body language of loony liberals equates to vote totals, it'll be a bad night for their favorite party.

Leigh Mulley
I have a massive soft spot for any artistic endeavour that glorifies places, objects, people, and their preoccupations that might seem a bit mundane to an outsider. Add in a healthy mix of nostalgia and I'm even more smitten, so Folkestone-based painter Leigh Mulley – take a bow. These hyper-realistic paintings of childhood staples like sweets, cakes and seaside holiday ephemera are really well-executed, but more than that they evoke a whole host of memories that make me feel warm, fuzzy and proud of my background.
