Women and Politics: The Power of Spouses in Presidetial Campaigns
In 1920 — the year women gained the right to vote — Florence Harding became the first woman to vote for her husband in a presidential election. Her action also marked the first attempt by a political campaign to "sell" a candidate's spouse. The Republican National Committee used Mrs. Harding's adroit social skills to attract female voters. She cultivated a friendly relationship with the press and was instrumental in creating some of the first staged photo-ops.
"Mrs. Harding is the only candidate's wife who came more than half way to meet newspaper reporters," The New York Times reported.
In previous campaigns, candidates' wives were mostly props, standing beside their husbands, surrounded by children. But Mrs. Harding took a more aggressive stance, helping to create images that humanized the couple and set the standard for future campaigning couples.
Today, the private and public lives of candidates' spouses — who are just as likely to be men — receive almost as much media scrutiny as the candidates themselves. And their appeal to voters is often just as important.
Eleanor Roosevelt was perhaps the first candidate's wife who was as politically active as her husband. She joined the League of Women Voters in 1920 and later accompanied Franklin D. Roosevelt on the presidential campaign trail. Her outspokenness and promotion of racial equality garnered enemies, but she remained her husband's trusted adviser until his death.
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was pregnant with her second child during her John F. Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign. Young, glamorous and a fashion trendsetter, she participated in TV and newspaper interviews and taped radio commercials in foreign languages. Mrs. Kennedy, who worked at a newspaper before marrying, also wrote the nationally syndicated column "Campaign Wife."
When Bill Clinton ran for president in 1992, his promise that voters would get "two for the price of one" with his Yale-educated wife Hillary Rodham Clinton polarized voters. Some revered Hillary as a role model; others reviled her as an assertive career woman. In 2008, President Bill Clinton's star power helped presidential candidate Hillary raise millions as she sought the Democratic nomination.
Elizabeth Dole was considered Bob Dole's secret asset during his 1996 presidential campaign. The former White House official and two-time cabinet member was better liked than both her husband and his running mate. She used her down-home star power to help bridge the gender gap and get women to vote for her husband. As the first spouse to have a full-time campaign travel operation separate from her husband's, Mrs. Dole appeared in places the candidate could not.
In 2008, Michelle Obama connected with voters through her campaign speeches focusing on her working-class roots and family life. The celebratory fist bump she and Barack Obama shared on the campaign trail prompted praise and criticism and was in constant rotation on YouTube and news shows. As first lady, her approval ratings were consistently higher than the president's.
The story about the role of candidates' spouses is featured in "Every Four Years: Presidential Campaigns and the Press."
"Every Four Years" was made possible through generous premier sponsorship from the American Association of University Women.

More than 9,000 golf enthusiasts have so far volunteered to help Scotland host the Ryder Cup - five times the required number.
Organisers of the 2014 Gleneagles event, who just launched the appeal, said half of all applications are from people in Scotland.
The remainder comes from 46 countries including the US, Iceland and Equatorial Guinea.
The process to find 1,800 people to fill roles such as scoreboard carriers, safety marshals and buggy drivers ends at midnight on April 14.
Ryder Cup Europe director Richard Hills said: "We are extremely excited by the prospect of bringing the Ryder Cup to Scotland and this demonstrates the strength of interest and excitement in the event, particularly amongst the Scottish public."
Cup organisers have been criticised by trade union body the STUC for "exploiting goodwill" by charging successful applicants £75 for their food, drink and clothing at the event.
The STUC said it would prefer to see young people given the opportunity to work at the tournament instead of "middle-class golf fans" who would probably pay to go to watch the tournament anyway. Around 250,000 spectators are expected to descend on Perthshire for the event next September.
The Scottish Government has said the Ryder Cup will generate an estimated £100 million for the local economy in the week of the tournament.
A Ryder Cup spokesman said: "Registration fees are common to Ryder Cup volunteering programmes both in Europe and the US. They make a contribution to volunteers' food and beverages as well as clothing for the event."
Prospective volunteers can apply at the official website: rydercupvolunteers.com.

Baths is the stage name of American electronic musician Will Wiesenfeld (born 1989). He was born in Tarzana and was raised in Woodland Hills. He currently resides in Chatsworth, California. Wiesenfield is a classically trained musician, and began learning the piano at the age of four "to compete with his brother". By twelve he had "completely abandoned it," but continual musical experimenting lead him to record his first piece of music at age fourteen.

Daylight: ward off insane spirits with a cell phone
Zombie Studios sent word last December that it'd licensed the powerful Unreal Engine 4 for an unnamed "psychological thriller game." Now, the studio behind Blacklight has a totally-non-ironic name for its project: Daylight, a horror-wanderer of Amnesia: The Dark Descent ilk set in a decayed, procedurally-generated insane asylum.
With no name and no memory of unceremoniously arriving at the asylum, players piece together the events of the past while seeking escape from the building's tangled ruin. The procedural generation tech, Zombie claims, means no two playthroughs will be the same. The studio says each session lasts around half an hour, which suggests a need for multiple runs to figure out the full story.
"Different players will have a totally different experience," Creative Director Jared Gerritzen says. "You're essentially a rat in a cage, but the cage is an asylum and it's scary as hell. You need to find your way out, and each time you do it it's completely different."
Instead of weapons, you're given a cell phone that warns you when psycho phantoms are lurking nearby and acts as a compass and makeshift flashlight. It also occasionally becomes "possessed" to play snippets of expository video or show images. This is the true power of 4G LTE.
Contemporary torches like as flares and glowsticks stave off ghostly foes for a short duration, but Daylight's clear directive, like Amnesia, lies in avoidance and moments of panicky cat-and-mouse chases. And with an expected 2013 release date and $20 price on Steam, it should be one of the first Unreal Engine 4 games you'll get your hands on.
Below, a couple exclusive screenshots Zombie shared with us:

Budget Billing
Even out your monthly payments
Budget Billing is a free option that helps level out seasonal high and low payments throughout the year. Your energy usage from the previous year is divided into 12 equal amounts, which in turn becomes your baseline monthly payment.
I would like to...
Enroll in Budget Billing
You can select either a
option with Budget Billing.
With the
option, the difference between the cost of energy used and amount paid on Budget Billing will continuously roll over.
option allows you to "settle up" the difference between the cost of energy used during the previous 11 months and amount paid on budget billing. "Settle up" happens once every 12 months.
Discontinue Budget Billing
Will my billing amount ever change?
A review is performed on the fourth and eighth month after your enrollment in Budget Billing to help keep your payments levelized throughout the year. If the new amount is higher by $3.00 or more, the new amount becomes your new Budget Billing payment. This helps keep your amount close to your actual usage, which is shown next to the budget billing amount on your bill.
Who is eligible?
Residential customers are eligible for Budget Billing in most circumstances. Most business customers who receive a postcard bill and are on a 2M rate are also eligible. Examples of what could cause an account to be ineligible are:

New construction (no usage history)

Property that has been vacant long enough to affect the monthly average

A past due balance

Will I ever owe a balance or get a credit on my bill?
During your settlement month, you are billed your actual usage for that billing period as well as the difference for the year compared to the amount billed for budget billing. This could be a credit or a debit depending on your actual usage amount.

 If a budget billing plan is stopped without going through a full 12 month cycle, the account may not have had a chance to equalize and therefore left a balance.
Easy billing option with roommates
Sometimes dividing up monthly expenses between roommates can be challenging - and no one wants the surprise of a higher utility bill. Use the Budget Billing option, and you and your roommates can pay the same amount every month!

Students classified as undergraduate are required to include their parents' information on the FAFSA, and must answer "no" to question 49 on the FAFSA form.

Cardio Fitness May Slow Brain Atrophy In Early Alzheimer's
A new US study found that increased cardiorespiratory fitness was linked to reduced brain atrophy in people with early stage Alzheimer's Disease, suggesting that either this directly caused the slow down in brain deterioration or some other unidentified disease related factor impacted both brain atrophy and cardio fitness. This was the conclusion of Dr Jeffrey M. Burns, of the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City, and colleagues, who published their work in the July 15th issue of the journal Neurology. "People with early Alzheimer's disease may be able to preserve their brain function for a longer period of time by exercising regularly and potentially reducing the amount of brain volume lost. Evidence shows decreasing brain volume is tied to poorer cognitive performance, so preserving more brain volume may translate into better cognitive performance," said Burns.

The second installment in Kresley Cole's best-selling steamy Immortals After Dark series is now available on audio for the first time!
Centuries ago, Sebastian Wroth was turned into a vampire - a nightmare in his mind - against his will. Burdened with hatred and alone for ages, he sees little reason to live - until an exquisite, fey creature comes to kill him, inadvertently saving him instead.
When Kaderin the Cold Hearted lost her two beloved sisters to a vampire attack long ago, a benevolent force deadened her sorrow - accidentally extinguishing all of her emotions. Yet whenever she encounters Sebastian, her feelings - particularly lust - emerge multiplied. For the first time, she's unable to complete a kill.
The prize of the month-long contest is powerful enough to change history, and Kaderin will do anything to win it for her sisters. Wanting only to win her, forever, Sebastian competes as well, taking every opportunity - as they travel to ancient tombs and through catacombs, seeking relics around the world - to use her new feelings to seduce her. But when forced to choose between the vampire she's falling for and reuniting her family, how can Kaderin live without either?
©2012 Kresley Cole (P)2012 Penguin Audio
A mom, a wife, a friend, a happy ending addict, an audiobook junkie, a wine lover and geek wanna -be. I'm constantly looking to be blown away.
I???m so glad I got a chance to re-visit one of my favorite books in the series, and the one that clinched my fondness for IAD.
Have I mentioned how much I love a perfectly timed romance? Yes, I love, love that, because that means we get sexual tension.. And I luuuuve sexual tension, and with the scorching hot chemistry between Sebastian and Kaderin we get plenty of it.
Kaderin the Cold Hearted Valkyrie, finds herself in a vast dilemma; unable to feel any emotions for the past thousand years, now has to contend with her attraction to the very vampire she???s intending to kill, plus the fact that she can???t forget that a dead leach like
Sebastian Roth was responsible for the horrible death of her two sisters.
On the other hand, Sebastian is tired of being something that he never chose to be, and when Kaderin comes to his castle to deliver the death blow, he welcomes it with open arms, but in that moment, he discovers that Kaderin is his bride and his fate....And that changes everything.
And so... The adventure begins with mind blowing action, and suspense that won't let you pause for a minute.
Kaderin and Sebastian enter the world competition for supernatural creatures, a brilliant setting for all the action and suspense. They both enter for very different reasons but equally important to them.
For Kaderin, the final prize is a key that can give her the possibility to go back to the past and save her sisters.
For Sebastian is the chance to help her fated bride achieved the victory, and in the process win her heart.
As the competition heats up, so does their romance; and we get one hell of a hot, steamy and perfectly developed romance.
I know a lot fans of the genre have already enjoyed this series, but if you are one of the few that has not, don???t miss out on the opportunity to discover why Kresley Cole is so highly regarded. This is the book where Ms. Cole???s talent begins to shine, with perfectly balanced heroes, heroines that don???t take crap from nobody, and are some of the strongest, funniest and entertaining little biaches in the paranormal realm.
Once again Robert Pefkoff takes the novel to a higher level.
I love the way he reads these books, I know that his female voices could be better, actually, I wish they would have two different narrators, and frankly, I always have a hard time with male narrators and their female voices, but the way Robert brings the story to life with the perfect pace, ambiance and the right amount of drama, in my opinion, makes up for the not so perfect but tolerable female voices.
I???m more likely to forgive and overlook a flawed female voice from a male narrator, than bad male voice from a female narrator, and no, I???m not being sexist, it???s just the nature of the genre, these guys are often described as having the best male attributes (in every sense of the word) and their voices are a big part of the fantasy. It???s as simple as that.
Genre: Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy
Sensuality: Scorching HOT

"Immortals After Dark Finally the Time has Come"
I read and listen to all kinds of books but Kresley Cole and Robert Petkoff make a winning team. This was a joy to listen to it was action packed, funny, well written as well as well read. The mood of the series is wonderfully captured in this audio version. The characters, setting and the ambiance are world class. I recommend any and everthing by this author. It is a very good romance and a great story.
"Petkoff is a God"
Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series are great reads, and Robert Petkoff adds a whole other, wonderful dimension! This book is equally action packed as it is romantic, and Petkoff practically brings it to life. I was amazed at all the different accents and voices he used in this book, including the hero's Estonian accent, which I'd never even heard before. You can tell a lot of effort is put into making this audiobook great, which I very much appreciate. Fans of Kresley Cole's should not miss out on these audiobooks! I sincerely hope Petkoff narrates the entire IAD series. This is one of my very first audiobooks, but it certainly won't be the last!
"Outstanding Narration"
I've read all Kresley Cole's books, at least twice, and Sebastian is my favorite vampire. I am so happy with the choice of narrator for her books. Robert Petkoff's portrayal of the vampires with their Estonian accents was perfect, as was the Scottish brogue of the werewolves, and he even caught the sassiness of the Valkeries. Not overdone. Thank you for putting these books on audio, and for using such a talented narrator.
I will listen to this again Great Story all of Immortals are Awesome
Sebastian He started off shy then he took what he wanted
Robert must remake The War Lord Wants YES YES HE IS PERFECT TO DO THE ENTIRE SERIES OF IMMORTAL!!!!!! PLEASE DONT CHANGE
Please go back and redo The Warlord Wants Robert thanks
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"Great 2nd book in this series!! Loved it"
This installment of the Immortals after Dark series is excellent. I love this new world and the use of all the mythological creatures. I am looking forward to the next one.
Sebastion Wroth is the brother of Nikolai from A HUNGER LIKE NO OTHER. Nikolai forced Sebastion to drink his blood and become a vampire. Sebastion has spent the last several hundred years hating his brother and wishing he were dead. He has no hope until he meets Kaderin the Cold-Hearted, a Valkyrie who is lost in guilt over the death of her two sisters a thousand yrs ago.
Kaderin showed mercy to a vampire who repaid her by killing her sisters. She mysteriously received the blessing of no emotions, that has allowed her to live with the guilt. But when she meets Sebastion all her emotions come back. She has entered the Hie, a scavenger hunt, to win the key of Thane. A key to time, if she wins she can go back and save her sisters.

There will be another book and I am so ready for it. The teaser at the end sounds marvelous.
Don't miss this one, if you like romance and fantasy.
Voracious reader/listener: I usually have one ebook and one audiobook going at a the same time. I'm a very eclectic reader so I tend to switch genres after every book. I'm open to most genres but my favorites in audio are mystery and fantasy (epic and urban both).
"The narration made the book"
This narration was so delicious that I was 67% into the book when I realized that if I'd been reading it, I'd probably wouldn't have finished it. The plot was exciting and the main characters were not terrible but the dialogue was sometimes corny and the romance was not at all the kind I enjoy (man chasing woman while they bicker constantly.)
Before I stumbled upon the audio, I had serious reservations about continuing the series. Like the previous book, we have in this one a man with an instinctive compulsion to be with a woman but this is not reciprocated. He has NO CHOICE and if he's not with her, he suffers tremendously. She, however, can leave him whenever she wants without suffering. Maybe some women fantasize about having a man completely in their power but I'm not one of them. I want a man who chooses to be with me, not a slave without any choice in the matter.
To be fair to Kaderin, if a stranger shows up one day to tell me I was his fated bride, I would run in the other direction too. I don't object that she had misgivings about the situation (who wouldn't?) but that he had not alternative but to pursue her or be deeply unhappy forever (and in the case of an immortal, this is a terrible thing indeed.)
You would think that with so many issues against the plot, I wouldn't have enjoyed it but I was so enthralled by Mr. Petkoff's yummy narration that I had a ball with it. His performance of the characters - specially the men - was perfect and his accents were so freaking good that I had heart palpitations the first time I heard a (male) Scottish character. Mr. Petkoff didn't demure from performing the love scenes as they were written - there was moaning, groaning, gasping, panting, you name it. His interpretation was so well done that most of the time I was fanning myself as I was listening.
So you can bet the farm that I'll continue this series as long as Mr. Petkoff is the narrator. I wonder how bad the books will have to get before I stop listening!
"Kresley Cole Book 2"
Not really. It took me three times to finally finish the first book. This one I was a little more involved in the book and the characters.
I am going for book 3 now.
In the cave with the fire serpant.
If it was, it would look like a B movie. The characters are not deep enough in this book for a movie or TV series. The first book, yes. Not this one.
I am in love with pararomance and am always trying to find new series with a great story and sizzling hot spots!
"Talisman's High, Hell Yes!"
Kaderin trying to deal with "feeling" again... when her feelings awaken for Sebastian in the beginning is so awesome.
The back story with both characters, and Kaderin's struggle to overcome her hatred for vampires is awesome.
EVERYTHING, he is my fav male voice!
I am not good at these things...Will love overcome the ultimate prize?
If you have read any of these up until now, you already know these are wonderful books in this genre.
Audible OBSESSED!
After listening to the first book in this series I was eager to listen to the next; however, in all honesty book 2 threw me for a bit of a loop. The emotional and sometimes physical battles that ensued as the two lead characters stumbled through their blossoming romance bordered on exhausting at moments. Cadaren, the main female character was such a tough nut to crack. I wanted to know how things would ultimately unfold and culminate in her relationship with Sebastian, but, I was impatient to get there. I quickly tired of her dismissing and being semi-cruel to Sebastian, as I was totally endeared to Sebastian's character. Despite all this, it was still a good book. As are Kresley Cole's books, this was hot and sexy for sure, which was well depicted by Robert Petkoff who seriously deserves an award for all the passion he's delivering! Although I have somewhat conflicting feelings about this one, I'm not deterred from the series or the author, and I'd recommend it to others looking for an interesting twist on romance of the paranormal kind.
"No Rest for the Wicked"
The development of the relationship between Bowen and Meriketa. The growth from dislike to love and then abandonment is very well written.
The narrator does an excellent job. The difference between male and female voices works very well. He maintains the accents and has enough emotional range to enhance the story.
I did read book 2 in this series and this is book 3, sadly the first hour of this book is a rehash of the end of the story in book 2, I very nearly gave it up as a bad job but after the first part the rest of the book is very good and a good listen.

Ubisoft DRM Troubles Hit The Settlers 7; Splinter Cell PC Delay Not Due to DRMGamePolitics reports that gamers, specifically in Australia, are experiencing issues with The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom, which utilizes Ubisoft's controversial DRM scheme. The DRM requires a persistent Internet connection, even for singleplayer.
Assassin's Creed II PC and Silent Hunter 5 PC both had downtime for legitimate customers after repeated denial of service attacks were made against Ubisoft's authentication servers. Ubisoft maintains that the DRM scheme has not been cracked.
Meanwhile, Eurogamer has learned that the delay hitting the PC version of Splinter Cell: Conviction, which releases 2 weeks after the Xbox 360 version and will use the same DRM scheme, is to polish the game and not due to its DRM.

Lee throws gem, Papelbon earns save as Phillies top Red Sox 3-1
BOSTON — Before the game one would have expected the Red Sox to be at a distinct disadvantage going up against Cliff Lee with Ryan Dempster on the mound, coming off of his worst three starts of the season. This wasn't the case as the two went toe-to-toe in a pitcher's duel in which Lee was simply outstanding as the Phillies defeated the Red Sox 3-1 at Fenway Park Tuesday night.
Lee pitched eight innings allowing one run on four hits and struck out eight. Even more impressive was he needed just 95 pitches to do so. Dempster went seven innings allowing two runs on six hits while striking out four. It was the first time he pitched past the fifth inning since May 7.
"Tonight was a classic pitchers duel," manager John Farrell said. "Ryan Dempster was much improved over his three previous starts, much like we saw prior to that three start stretch where he was down in the zone and had good secondary stuff. We ran into a very good pitcher tonight. Cliff Lee was outstanding and stayed out of the middle of the plate. He didn't waste many pitches."
The game was tied 1-1 in the seventh inning before Dempster allowed a one-out RBI single to No. 9 hitter Erik Kratz to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead, one they would not relinquish with old friend Jonathan Papelbon coming in to earn the save in the ninth.
Offensively the Red Sox finished with just four hits and scored their lone run on a Dustin Pedroia RBI single in the first. Craig Breslow threw a scoreless eighth inning before Junichi Tazawa came in and allowed a solo home run in the ninth to Domonic Brown for the third Phillies run.
The four-game series now shifts to Philadelphia for the final two games with John Lackey taking to the hill tomorrow night (7:05, NESN) going against Kyle Kendrick.
What they'll be saying: There wasn't much the Red Sox could do in their loss tonight as Lee was at his best. He became the first pitcher to throw eight or more innings while limiting the Sox to four hits or less at Fenway Park since James Shields in April of last year. The Red Sox just couldn't get anything going offensively and were unable to drive up Lee's pitch count, something they've done all season … Despite suffering the loss, Dempster still pitched very well and was effective despite only getting four swings and misses on his pitches all night. Overall, despite his 2-6 record, besides the three previous starts he has been pretty good this year holding opponents to two runs or less in six of his 11 starts this season.

Five High-Yield Dividend Stocks with Significant Insider Buying
Karin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Insiders are the best barometer of a company's future prospects, right? But insider selling can be for any reason – taxes, portfolio diversification, personal reasons. So it's hard to judge a company by its insider selling (unless there's an enormous wave, then it probably means you should get out of the way!). But there's only one reason for insider buying – the insiders think the price is going higher.
I took a look at 25 companies listed by Dividend Channel as having insider buying over the past six months, and I came up with five high-yielders that had over a million dollars' worth of insider buying. With numbers like those, I decided to take a closer look at these five.
I know these companies aren't going to be the stable, reliable dividend champions with many years of consistently paying and raising dividends. But I'll look at other factors, which may or may not make them a good candidate for my portfolio.
The first company on the list, with $5 million in insider buying, is Javelin Mortgage Investment Corp (NYSE: JMI). This is a REIT that has only been trading since October, but note that it is externally managed by the highly successful Armour Residential. The stock is currently trading at approximately $18 per share and yields 15.5%. 4 insiders, including the Chairman of the Board and a Director, have bought a total of 250,000 shares, worth nearly $5 million. Since its debut, Deutsche Bank and Citigroup have initiated coverage with Buy ratings, and a Neutral at Credit Suisse.
Given the lack of history with this company, this stock is definitely a risky play, but the 15.5% dividend is certainly tempting.
Newcastle Investment (NYSE: NCT) is a REIT that has not been adversely affected by QE3. It is trading at the top of its 52-week range, at $8 per share, and yields 10.7%. There were two insiders who made large purchases: the CEO/President, and one Director, who together purchased 450,000 shares for a total of $3.0 million. These insiders bought back in July, however, when the price was significantly lower; they paid an average cost of $6.70 per share. Newcastle's share price is up 67% for the year, with an additional 13% in dividends paid out.
I like Newcastle for a small position in a stable dividend portfolio.
CYS Investments (NYSE: CYS) another mREIT, CYS trades at $14 per share. It is currently yielding 14.1%, and was recently purchased by two insiders: the President/CEO and one of the Directors bought a total of 125,000 shares worth $1.6 million. This company has suffered this quarter, like other mREITS, due to the effects of QE3 on long-term interest rates, by focusing on agency mortgage-backed securities. QE3 contributed to a decline in net interest margin for the mREITs, and has affected all of their share prices negatively. The insiders have taken advantage of the price decline and have purchased in the $12.75-13.00 range.
Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY), another mREIT, had only one insider buy, but it was the company's President, Kevin Keyes, and he purchased 100,000 shares on Nov. 15 at very nearly the 52-week low, for a cool $1.4 million. Annaly is trading at $14 per share and yields 13.7%. The company's shares are down at the lower end of its 52-week range, due in part to QE3. The company has also reduced its dividend payouts twice in 2012.
This is a company that I will keep on my radar and watch for a few more quarters. The yield is tempting, and the conviction of the President is reassuring, but I would like to see some payout stability before I jump in.
And the final company on the list is KKR Financial Holdings (NYSE: KFN). KKR also had only one insider buying its shares, but it was a Director who purchased 110,000 shares at $9.16 in August, for a total of $1.0 million. Since then, KFN is trading 13% higher, near its 52-week high, at $10.32. It yields 8.0% and is up 19% in the past twelve months.
In conclusion, I would look deeper at Javelin, Newcastle, and KKR Financial. All of these look good for a small position emphasizing higher reward with higher risk. I'll keep CYS and Annaly on the back burner and check on them over the next six months or so, to see if they stabilize.

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry Fraser wants to answer your emails at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Last night watching the Bruins-Lightning game, Tim Thomas lost his mask but play went on. I am curious what the official ruling on this is, as I have seen play stopped much quicker earlier in these playoffs even and twice was for Dwayne Roloson having loose straps on his mask. I understand the play is only supposed to be whistled down if it has a potential to injury the goalie in question, but Thomas scrambling to be in position as a shooter is preparing to aim for the back of the net seems to fit this scenario, and Thomas did end up taking it off his head after it deflected it appeared. How would you have handled this call?
Steven MacDonald, Nova Scotian in Texas
I have a question about what the call should be when a goalie's helmet comes off during play. I've seen refs blow the play dead when this happens. Last night in the Bolts/Bruins game, Tim Thomas' helmet came off. The ref did not blow the play dead. The puck was actually then shot off of Thomas' exposed dome and into the net. What was the appropriate call? By the way, what seemed like a makeup call against Tampa came a minute later when one of their players was called for goaltender interference when it was actually a Bruins player who drove into Thomas.
Best, Rick Tolstrup - Ipswich, MA
Hello Kerry,
In Game 2 of Boston/Tampa Bay in the third period, Tim Thomas' mask gets knocked off inadvertently. The referees/linesmen never blew the play dead. The referees are supposed to protect the goalies when this situation occurs. Play is to be blown dead immediately. Unfortunately the commentators don't understand the rules as they claimed "Boston has to have control of the puck before they blow it dead". How is that protecting the goalie? That's like saying Tampa could have blasted a slapshot at the net. Ironically earlier in the TSN broadcast, the commentators mentioned how Roloson is notorious for "knocking off the net, mask falling off, just to get a whistle".
Please clarify that rule as it was a definite missed call by the referees.
Thanks - Louie from Whitby
We got a whole lot of net and goalie crease questions regarding Tim Thomas having his mask knocked off when his own defenceman (Adam McQuaid) fell directly on his head. The fact that Tim's own player's actions caused him to lose his mask is immaterial as to if or when the referee should stop play.
Here are some of your questions and the answer.
First, let me assure you that the referee absolutely made the correct decision to allow play to continue in this case. While stopping play when a goalie loses his mask is designed to provide safety the rule is very clear in when the whistle must be blown by the referee.
Rule 9.5 Protective Equipment states that all players shall wear an approved helmet but allows a player that has had his helmet knocked off to continue to participate in play until he goes to his players' bench. At that point he is not allowed to return to the game without a helmet.
Pertaining to the goalie losing his mask this is what the rule clearly states:
"When a goalkeeper has lost his helmet and/or face mask and his team has possession of the puck, the play shall be stopped immediately to allow the goalkeeper the opportunity to regain his helmet and/or face mask."
Now comes the portion of the rule that is pertinent to last night: "When the opposing team has possession of the puck, play shall only be stopped if there is no immediate and impending scoring opportunity." There you have it, gang. Tampa had possession of the puck at the side of the net and still in the act of completing a reasonable scoring opportunity. If Tampa had the puck in the corner or even behind the net play would have been stopped due to the lack of an immediate or impending scoring opportunity. Some of you might choose to argue that the side of the net does not constitute an immediate/impending scoring opportunity. I beg to differ with you - it is.
While it might add insult to injury that the puck was banked off Tim Thomas' head (eyebrow) but I have seen many times when a goal is scored when a shot or rebound deflects into the net off an attacking player's face. The goal was good. The referee showed patience in not blowing the whistle quickly and in utilizing the correct application of the rule. I wouldn't have handled any other way.
Other specifics of your question:
Rick Tolstrup from Ispwich, MA: I didn't like the goalie interference penalty called on Ryan Malone either. Malone was giving way to the goalie while attacking the net and the Bruins defenceman ran out of real estate and made contact with Thomas. Malone did not bump the D-man into Thomas so no penalty should have resulted. The referee was on the opposite side of the net and from his view would have thought Malone made contact with the Boston defenceman and/or Tim Thomas. It all depends on the vantage point but none the less a tough call at a key time in the game.
Louie from Whitby: Dwayne Roloson is a cagey veteran goalkeeper and playoff performer. He knows when and how to use his "faulty" equipment to gain an advantage. It has to be blatantly obvious that he removes his mask before a penalty would be assessed but here's what is also found in Rule 9.5.
"When a goalkeeper deliberately removes his helmet and/or face mask in order to secure a stoppage of play, the Referee shall stop play as outlined above (possession/immediate scoring opportunity) and in this case assess the goalkeeper a minor penalty for delaying the game."
If "Rollie the Goalie" was to deliberately remove his mask (I think a head flip would apply here) in the course of a breakaway a penalty shot would be awarded. If it occurred during a penalty shot or shootout attempt (regular season) a goal would be awarded.
I am going to veer off the specifics of Tim Thomas' mask coming off last night and share with you a play I had in the mid '80s that resulted in a lost scoring opportunity and ultimate rule change with regard to the concept of immediate or impending scoring opportunity. This might lend some credence to play continuing last night; if not I hope you enjoy the story.
The Edmonton Oilers were playing the Blues in the old St. Louis Arena. Late in a tie game (but with more than two minutes remaining) the Oilers were all over the Blues in the end zone. Mike Liut was sliding side to side and made one stop after another during the barrage of shots. As Liut made another sliding save from close in, the rebound kicked out to the low slot and right onto the stick of Glenn Anderson. Liut's slide on the save had taken him completely outside his goal crease and left his net totally unguarded.
Just as Glenn Anderson was about to shoot the puck into the open net Blues defenceman, Tim Bothwell grabbed hold the goal frame, removed it from its moorings and shoved the entire net past Liut and into the corner. A confused look came over Anderson as shuffled his skates in the direction of the net as it continued to slide out of range. I blew the whistle and gave Bothwell a delay of game penalty for his very creative play (Had there been insufficient time to serve the delay of game penalty - less than two minutes remaining or by reasons of penalties already imposed - a penalty shot would have resulted).
This rule didn't seem fair not only to Glenn Anderson; it didn't seem fair to me. At the end of the season I submitted a rule change recommendation (which officials are entitled to do) and it was accepted and put in the book. It has evolved to be part of rule 63.6 Awarded Goal which allows for a referee to award a goal if the goal post is displaced, either deliberately or accidentally, by a defending player, prior to the puck crossing the goal line between the normal position of the goalposts.
The rule says, "In order to award a goal in this situation, the goal post must have been displaced by the actions of defending player, the puck must have been shot (or the player must be in the act of shooting) at the goal prior to the goal post being displaced, and it must be determined that the puck would have entered the net between the normal position of the goal posts."
Now you have the case history as to where this rule came from.

Whether you're a weekend recreational runner or a marathoner training for your first adventure endurance race, Nike has a performance shoe that perfectly fits your needs. When looking for a running shoe it's important to access your running biomechanics to determine the type of shoe you need before you focus on finding a shoe for the terrain you cover.
Stability and Cushion
Finding the right footwear size and proper width is only the beginning. If you examine footprints at the beach, you'll see that some barefoot beachcombers leave curved footprints formed by high arches and others leave fully-shaped prints created by flat feet. Beyond the beach there are countless men and women who have feet somewhere between a raised arch and a flat foot. Runners with flat feet should consider shoes with plenty of upper stability, dense midsoles and rigid motion control innovations that minimize pronation (that nasty inward turn that sometimes results in rolled ankles). Women and men with raised high arches should gravitate toward shoes with a cushioned neutral stance with a yielding midsole that absorbs plenty of repeated impact. Runners with neither flat nor raised arches can cover the widest range of technical shoe sizes, but should consider staying away from the design extremes of too much motion control and too much cushion. Once you know your foot type and size, matching Nike shoes to your terrain is the easy part.
Nike street and track running shoes remain one of the most sought-after brands on the market for men and women runners. While the Nike Air Pegasus remains the leader among Nike running names, one of the newest innovations is the Nike Shox series, a running shoe that uses spring cushioning in the heel and sometimes sports an Air Sole unit in the forefoot midsole. The Nike Shox 2:40 is lighter and features minimum stability while the Nike Shox FSM maximizes motion control throughout footstrike. Like other footwear throughout the running shoe industry, stiffer, motion-control oriented Nike street running shoes weigh a bit more than shoes with a neutral fit, but flat-footed runners will find that they're less susceptible to rolling ankles on training runs. Exceptional support and firm cushioning is one of the key reasons that the Nike Air Kantara enjoys an extensive following among pronation-wary runners. No matter which street running shoe you choose, many of Nike's newest designs have a special BRS 1000 carbon rubber sole for optimal grip on asphalt and gravel without a lot of excess wear.
Trail Running Shoes
Finely tuned for navigating off-road environs, Nike trail running shoes offer more protection and weatherproofing features than conventional road running shoes. Beefed-up with toe-bumpers and big lugs, Nike trail running shoes tend to combine softer rubber sole compound for better sticky grip on rock, gravel and dirt, and often rely on thinner midsoles to save ounces. Unless you run exclusively on boulders, you won't notice the missing cushion. Nike's men's and women's waterproof Air Teocalli GTX remains one of the top-selling shoes for runners who cover alpine terrain or wet wilderness in cool conditions. If you need a trail running shoe that adapts to concrete paths without compromising performance, Nike's Air Zoom Terra Ridge running shoe is a perfect pacesetter. This innovative design combines a supportive TPU cage along the upper for moderate support with an extended Zoom Air unit in the midsole for medium cushioning.
Training Shoes
If you mix and match your running fun with other sports, a specialized training shoe might be the most cost-effect approaches. An important factor to keep in mind is that some training designs are intended for short workouts, so you won't find as much midsole cushion as you would in a Nike endurance running shoe. Consider where and how you'll use your Nike training shoe before you make your purchase. That said, one of the newest shoes on the market is the Nike Impax 45, a moderately cushioned training shoe with medium motion control specifically developed for stamina-building 45-second interval work. Nike developed this shoe in two versions--leather or mesh uppers--to comfortably conform to climates and workout conditions.

The Continuing Adventures of Icarus Elck (Part 2)
This post is a continuation of two previous posts http://scotteagle.tumblr.com/post/29136155648/the-continuing-adventures-of-icarus-elck-part-1 that describe the process used to create the environment for The Continuing Adventures of Icarus Elck.
To create the images of the man used in the Existential Crisis Series like Anonymous and A Mid Level Bureaucrat Contemplates Power I borrowed a leaf blower and took a video of myself pretending to blow leaves on a hill in front of Minges coliseum. I then dragged the movie into iMovie and picked out the best still frames. The image below is a screenshot of the film in iMovie.

Police say they have arrested the 18-year-old boyfriend of a murdered New Franklin couple's daughter.
Shawn Eric Ford, Jr. was charged Thursday with murder, robbery and grand theft for the brutal attack on his girlfriend's parents.
New Franklin Police say Ford beat Jeffrey and Margaret Schobert to death with a sledgehammer.
The couple was found murdered in their Rex Lake Drive home Tuesday afternoon by a construction crew. The Schobert's had been dead in the home for several hours.
Ford lives in Akron, but was in the Portage County jail on unrelated charges when charged with the murders.
Jeffrey Schobert was a highly regarded lawyer with an Akron law firm. His specialty was defending doctors and hospitals against malpractice suits. His wife was active in several civic organizations.

The Haylor Song (Trouble Parody)
**Disclaimer: Not trying to be offend anyone or insult their opinion! Just a joke I wrote in 5 minutes in response to all of the mayhem on my dashboard!**
Verse 1:
once upon a time, once albums were debuted
Haylor was concieved, we panicked and we knew
She'd hurt him, she'd hurt him, she'd hurt him, him, him, him, him.
at first we didn't care, we figured she'd back off
she'd always got around, we thought she'd take a walk.
and desert him, desert him, desert him, him, him, him, him.
But she's still here, in the city.
now we realize, and we can agree.
We knew she was trouble when snagged Styles.
how could we allow
Taylor to get him with her fake smiles
it seems he's her's now.
We knew she was trouble when she got Styles
so shame on us now
this fandom's gettin' kind of hostile
she's gonna throw him in her "ex boy" pile.
oh oh oh trouble trouble trouble.
oh oh oh trouble trouble trouble.
Verse 2:
now harry's got it bad, they're walking in times square
the fans can see it all, he doesn't even care.
he's blinded, he's blinded, he's blinded-ed-ed-ed-ed.
We heard they're "so in love" from whispers on the street
but all she really wants, is a track for her cd
i hope he sees, i hope he sees, i hope he see see see see sees.
She's so anal, a control freak
when he'll realize, he'll dump her next week.
CHORUS x Hook
and the saddest fear, comes creeping in.
that we'd be pissed off, if he loved anyone, or anything,
yeah yeah yeah
and now we're gettin' angry cause she snagged styles
my dashboard hates her
let's just say this shit better be worthwhile
cause if he dates her
she's gonna put harry through some tough trials
and write an album with his name on file….
the best part of this is that you almost sound like taylor
I love Niall. I love all members of 1D.
I quit.
this is the kind of shit I have to deal with.

Disappointed at new Kirkland dog park rules | LETTER
Send your letter to: email@example.com
Like many Kirkland residents, I was looking forward to taking my dogs to the new off-leash park in Kirkland.
My boys love to go to other off-leash parks in the area and enjoy interacting with other dogs.
Unfortunately, I recently learned that the Kirkland park will not allow unneutered male dogs regardless of their breed or temperament. I have never heard of such a restriction in a dog park and am disappointed that KDOG decided to go this route.
At least we can still go to Redmond.
Jim Boril, Kirkland

Beck 's earning some of the best reviews of his career with his forthcoming effort, Morning Phase . That's got to do a lot for a guy's confidence, something Beck confesses he's sometimes got in short supply.
"I think that's probably my Achilles' heel," he tells Billboard . "My instinct has definitely gone awry; I could give you many examples." Chief among them: he was offered the chance to write the theme to the AMC hit drama Mad Men , and turned it down. More than once.
Beck recalls thinking, "It's about ad executives in the '60s? They're going to make a show about that? Really? Um, I don't think so," then says, "Yeah, just like the best show ever made!"
Mad Men producers ultimately went with RJD2 's "A Beautiful Mine" for the theme.
Morning Phase is out February 25.

Public meeting stresses importance of trail linking Blaine, Birch Bay
Published on Wed, Oct 5, 2011 by
Jeremy Schwartz
Read More
The proposed walking and biking trail between Blaine and Birch Bay could prove beneficial to both communities if the local parks district has the money to fund it.
That was the feeling at the last of two public meetings Northwest Park and Recreation District 2 commissioners hosted to gather input on how to improve recreational opportunities in the area. The boundaries of the parks district
mirror those of the Blaine School District, minus Point Roberts.
The trail connecting Blaine and Birch Bay, along with any other improvements the park district is proposing, is dependent upon the passage of the six-year levy appearing on the November 8 ballot. The levy would raise $350,000 for the park district and cost 10 cents per $1,000 of a home's assessed value per year, or $14.70 for a $147,000 home. Park commissioner Richard Sturgill said this levy will hopefully be the start of a pattern of community members consistently voting to support the park district.
"When we get this [levy] in the bag, we'll have enough history that it will become perpetual," Sturgill said.
Birch Bay resident Jeff Carrington, who is running unopposed for the park commissioner position being left vacant by Terry Johnston, said tying the two communities together with a easily accessible trail is vital. He said he would like property owners to realize their property values will increase with the addition of the trail and the other improvements the parks district is proposing, such as an off-leash dog park in Birch Bay.
Though Morris said he is close to reaching agreements with property owners near the radio station – where the trail would cross private property – he said trail construction between Blaine Road and Drayton Harbor could be costly and time-consuming due to the wetlands mitigation that would be required. Despite the trail's construction costs, meeting attendees agreed the trail should be the park district's next large project.
"It needs to be done," Carrington said.

Dundee company helps make Glasgow greener
Motorists will be able to test-drive and hire electric vehicles at a new dedicated facility which is set to open in the heart of Glasgow.
The facility will open alongside a permanent renewable energy exhibition at power firm SSE's Scottish Hydro Centre for Renewable Excellence.
Cars, electric scooters and bikes will be available to rent from the centre, close to Glasgow Central train station. The Greenway electric scooters and Freego electric bikes used were supplied by Electric Bikes Scotland who are based in Dundonald Street Dundee.
The facility will be next to an interactive renewable energy exhibition run by SSE.
The Power of Now exhibition will include a display showing how a hydroelectric dam works and a simulation of the electricity network, showing how renewable generation connects to the transmission network and is then transported into the home.
There will also be a visual display of a "smart home", featuring the latest technology in heat pumps, electric heating and boilers.

Jan 2013
The way you make it sound, your relationship breaks down into 1. She's nuts. 2. She's amazing in bed. Nothing about how well you get along, how much you care for each other, anything like that. Sounds like you're freaked out, maybe even a little scared. You don't sound like you're particularly happy in the relationship, and that the only thing you're getting out of it is sex.
Well, are you in it for long-term? Where do you want the relationship to go? Where does she want it to go? Are you little more than buddies who also screw, or are you a genuine pair? The way you make it sound, you want to screw her, then get out and have nothing to do with her. If she's fine with that (which I doubt, since few people are) then more power to you. Otherwise, you're using her. And if you are using her, then apparently her paranoia is at least partially justified- because here you are sneaking behind her back and talking about her while you have no interest in anything about her but her body.
People have sex all the time, bless 'em. But if you think you are in anything approaching an emotional relationship, it behooves you to treat your girlfriend with the same level of respect and dignity that you would wish. And part of that is honesty with both her and yourself. This does not mean being a nasty idiot. If you decide to break it off, you do it in as gentle a manner as possible. But unless you are in a clearly defined purely physical relationship, then sex as the only reason to stay together is a terrible basis for a relationship.

I am short on time and literally ate peanut butter sandwiches for lunch and dinner. I actually came home from Portsmouth late this morning and then this afternoon started one of my part time jobs cooking for someone.... and spend 4 hours cooking.
When I cook for other people all day long, I don't really want to cook for myself... and my fridge is VERY bare right now since I was in Portsmouth all weekend.
Tomorrow I will go shopping and stock up on some veggies so I can cook some great food... I still have a tiny bit of kale, onion, garlic and daikon for veggies (although not enough kale for a proper serving.) I also have some white beans in the freezer and a tiny bit of leftover pasta and red sauce mixed with white beans in my freezer... oh and I have some sprouted bread ...
I found a reduced produce bin in Chinatown last week... and on Friday morning I am going to hit up Haymarket ..
