Skip to comments.Chabot: Dems scramble to help Jeanne Shaheen (NH)
Posted on 04/07/2014 5:48:49 AM PDT by cotton1706
Nervous Bay State Dems are scrambling to bolster U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheens struggling re-election campaign in New Hampshire with local top-tier fundraisers and political heavyweights rushing to help her battle Republican Scott Brown.
Its all hands on board, said one top Massachusetts Democrat, who said the former governor is going to need, a boatload of money, to fight off Brown. The former Bay State Republican senator is a proven fundraiser and will likely get thousands from third parties looking to topple the Democratic majority in the Senate.
Everybody feels that Jeanne Shaheen is vulnerable, said the Dem, who noted that U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Gov. Deval Patrick have offered help. Her main challenge will be money.
Shaheens team recently brought on Massachusetts-based Democratic fundraiser Jon Patsavos, who has worked for Patrick and U.S. Sen. Edward Markeys campaigns. The move highlights that Shaheens team values the true-blue state especially as she battles with Brown in the more bipartisan New Hampshire.
Local Democratic heavyweights such as Alan Solomont said the fact that Brown refused to agree to a ban on outside money in the nationally watched campaign means outsider groups will flood the airwaves.
Its going to be a tough race, but voters in New Hampshire are too smart to be boondoggled by a lot of money from out of state, said Solomont, a former top Massachusetts fundraiser who now serves as the dean of the Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University.
Im not doing any fundraising these days, but Im certainly supporting people I believe in. Im certainly contributing and I certainly believe in her candidacy, he said.

Bob Smith is a has been and does not poll well with women. Brown polls well with women, especially independent women. This is the key to the election. NH is 1/3 independents. They always swing the elections. People like me will always vote for the conservative. My vote is a given in NH. I think I have received 3 Brown emails in the last week and one letter. Shaheen is extremely vulnerable because of her vote on Obamacare and her on statements regarding the unpopular law.
<><> Ask Shaheen why she voted to subsidize O/Care by decimating Medicare Advantage for seniors.
<><> Ask Shaheen why White House calculatedly kept the gruesome details to itself while egging on loyal lock-stepping Democrats to vote for O/Care.
<><> Ask Shaheen why the WH lied to Americans in a way so specific, it showed they knew exactly what to spin and how......via the infamous "If you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan, period."
<><> Ask Shaheen after she voted for it why she carried on for the next three years Democrats would carry making believe she'd actually read the ACA bill and pretending she understood its implications.
<><> Ask Shaheen why she was taken aback by complaints about O/Care from her constituents.
Shaheen and her coterie of lock-stepping Dummycrats are gonna
find out real soon: NH voters did not just fall off a turnip truck.
I sincerely hope you're right. But Brown will run as a worthless moderate as he did here in 2012. I'd rather see him lose the primary, because he'll likely lose the general.
Bet the traditional Democrat ballot-stuffing operation is wheezing into battle one more time. "Bring out your dead! It's time to vote for more Big Government"
Who can have a shred of respect for Northeastern Libs when we know they are anti-freedom, except in the causes of homosexual "marriage" and aborting future Americans.
HOTAIR.COM reported Jeanne Shaheen backed Obama's position in 99 percent of her votes.
According to Congressional Quarterlys 2013 analysis, every single embattled 2014 Senate Democrat voted the Obama line at least 90 percent of the time including Sen. Suckup Mark Obamacares an amazing success story Pryor.
A hotair.com video records the dramatic Christmas Eve roll call on Obamacare, in which every single Democrat in the chamber cast the deciding vote.
That kind of lock-stepping party loyalty has not been seen since 1940's era Europe.
Kinda reminds me of Peter Sellers trying to subdue
his natural instincts to salute smartly to der leader.
great so ya gets Brown who is a terrible RINO poser
"Even if he is a moderate he still caucuses as a Republican. If the Republicans can get a majority, then Harry Reid is toast. Plus the Pubies control all the committees."
Whoop dee damn do!! He'll caucus with the republicans as long as he gets something out if it. Like Jim Jeffords before him, he'll easily switch if it's best for him.
I want the seat to change to republican but Brown shouldn't be trusted.
Sometimes you have to pick between the lesser of two evils.
We do not ALL get to vote for Ted Cruz for Senator. Do not get me wrong. I am not enamored with Brown. I know what he is. Bob Smith can not win. Brown can. IF I have to choose between Brown and Shaheen, I will definitely vote for Brown.
And I can tolerate a moderate Republican from New England.
He'll vote the right way 80% of the time which is a lot better than Shaheen.
Even when we thought we were getting a true conservative woman in Ayotte, we still got someone who was questionable on immigration. Brown is not perfect, but he is far better than Shaheen.
"I know what he is. Bob Smith can not win. Brown can. IF I have to choose between Brown and Shaheen, I will definitely vote for Brown."
I had the same choice in 2012 and left my ballot blank. I couldn't abide voting for him again and couldn't reward his treachery with my vote.
You're in NH so you would know, but why do you think Smith can't win when he's won before while you think Brown can win when he just lost.
Am I the only one that sees these statements as they don't consider Massachusetts to be "out-of-state"?
"Am I the only one that sees these statements as they don't consider Massachusetts to be "out-of-state"?"
It's a little iffy since so many people live in NH and work in MA.
I'm surprised by the many people on this forum who are proud that they didn't vote in the 2012 election.
Thank you for Obama and Elizabeth Warren and Harry Reid et al
NH can not be confused with Idaho or Oklahoma. Even most conservatives in NH are more Libertarian. There are not a lot of Southern Baptists here. This is the Live Free or Die state. To most that means do whatever you want as long as you are 18 years or older. Also, don't tread on me. We want small government. This is the state with the largest house of representatives that make $100.00/year plus mileage. Our towns are mostly run by a unpaid board of selectmen. We have ballot voting where a 60% majority has to approve bond items like $6 million dollar school expansions.
My point is NH is fiscally conservative, socially liberal, ie LIBERTARIAN.
Last year, in the Massachusetts special Senate election, Ed Markey won the seat with less than 14% of registered voters. Brown probably could have won that race but his standing with the 30-40% who always vote conservatively here were simply too unreliable for him.
I hate to cede the Senate to the Democrats again, but Scott Brown is his own worst enemy and I think that he is a real long shot in New Hampshire even though the carpetbagger charge is spurious as he apparently has seriously long term family ties there.
"Im surprised by the many people on this forum who are proud that they didnt vote in the 2012 election.
Thank you for Obama and Elizabeth Warren and Harry Reid et al"
I voted. I just left my ballot blank for US Senate. I don't vote for democrats but I'm not voting for somebody just because they have an "r" next to their name either. Brown loved the democrats and independents so much, I let him go after their votes, since he didn't want mine (and probably thought I would vote for him because I had no other place to go).
But contrary to all the talking points, moderates do not attract democrat and independent votes. Without conservatives, moderates lose, as was demonstrated. And now Brown is moving on to NH to try to attract moderates and independents there. Good luck to him. We're glad to be rid of him.
Often overlooked:
If the GOP gains a majority in the USS, no matter how "moderate" or "RINO" a handful of New England and Midwestern 'Pub Senators might be, then Jeff Sessions will become Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
But if the Dhimmis keep the majority, the Chairman of Judiciary will continue to be Patrick "Leaky" Leahy.
In other words, the choice is very easy.
Therefore, Go Scott Go!
"Last year, in the Massachusetts special Senate election, Ed Markey won the seat with less than 14% of registered voters. Brown probably could have won that race but his standing with the 30-40% who always vote conservatively here were simply too unreliable for him."
Scott Brown totally screwed us over last year. He got his crony elected to be head of the MA Republican Party by saying that if she wasn't elected, then he wouldn't run for the senate against Markey. Then once she was elected, THE VERY NEXT DAY Brown announced he wasn't running. THEN his crony endorsed and funded Gabe Gomez, who was in third place. And surprise, surprise, Gomez lost to Markey. Brown and his ilk did what they had to to prevent a conservative from getting the senate nomination, to keep the meme going that "conservatives can't win in New England so we're not going to even try, we want moderate nominees only because in our distorted reality, moderates win elections (there just isn't any evidence to speak of)"
NH was much more conservative when Smith won 20 years ago. Now, even conservatives think he is a joke.
Gordon Humphrey probably could not win in NH today either.
The person I would like to see run is our current NH Republican chairwoman Jennifer Horn from Nashua. I think she would have won against Kuster in the general last time. She came in second to Bass in a three way primary battle where the conservative vote was split. Bass is another has been that needs to just go away. Retire to Blatherboro and never be seen again. Horn is a conservative well spoken Tea Party supporter and a mom. She speaks well in public. She was a radio DJ on a local station for years. She is also not bad looking. That does not hurt.
Out of state money is OK for the Dems, but always bad when it is for a Republican. God forbid it is especially bad when it comes from the EVIL KOCH brothers.
Carpetbagger will be the mantra for the dems in this election. It will be repeated over and over. It was OK for Hillary and Bobby Kennedy but not for Brown.
Again, thank you getting Elizabeth Warren elected.
"Again, thank you getting Elizabeth Warren elected."
Keep pushing that phony line. My vote is my own. And I'm not playing the "lesser of two evils" game. Because it's a one way street with these moderate and establishment types. They twisted Santorum's are in 2004 to endorse Specter but Specter was nowhere to be seen in 2006 when Santorum was up for reelection. Lisa Murkowski would not endorse the republican nominee in 2010 and instead ran as an independent with democrat help to keep her seat. Dede Scozzafava endorsed the democrat to prevent a conservative from winning a house seat in New York. Charlie Crist has become a democrat. Lincoln Chafee has become a democrat. Jim Jeffords became an independent to sieze control of the senate from a republican majority. Richard Lugar just endorsed the democrat in Georgia. John Warner just endorsed the democrat in Virginia.
For decades, the establishment types counted on conservatives voting for them because "well, the democrat is worse" but when push comes to shove, in contests between a conservative and a democrat, the establishment types back the democrat because in their eyes, the democrat is the "lesser of two evils."
I'm not playing the game anymore. Brown didn't want my vote, didn't deserve it, and didn't get it. I am not to blame for Warren getting elected. He is.
That's great. You should e-mail that to the Brown and Smith Campaigns.
Bet the traditional Democrat ballot-stuffing operation is wheezing into battle one more time.
I think the "stolen elections" thing is way over-blown. For there to be election fraud, the order has to come down from the higher-ups (like in Chicago). The little ladies at the polling place and in the County Clerk's Office, are not rigging elections.
great so ya gets Brown who is a terrible RINO poser
Yeah, but we know who, and what, he is going in. He's not a back-stabbing, hypocrite b**ch like Mitch McConnell, John McCain and Lindsey Graham. And, with Brown, we get control of the Senate and we get to say goodbye to Dirty Harry Reid.
Apparently you live in NH. Can you tell us how the everyday, average Joe seems to be leaning with regard to Shaheen or her GOP opponents?
Re: Your Post #14: I was thinking the same thing.
"I hate to cede the Senate to the Democrats again, but Scott Brown is his own worst enemy and I think that he is a real long shot in New Hampshire even though the carpetbagger charge is spurious as he apparently has seriously long term family ties there."
I don't get why by attempting to oust Shaheen by any means is "ceding" the Senate. Brown is about as good as it gets for a Republican in Commiechusetts or New Hampshire. If he takes out Shaheen, it will simply be a plus, because the ability to retake the Senate doesn't rest on taking Shaheen out. It pisses me off to listen to these "principled voters" who decide to "show em" who's boss by staying home and not voting because the "right candidate" isn't on the ballot.
You shouldn't be surprised, while the donkey is the mascot for the demonRATs, the jackass is the mascot for the purists that would rather lose than compromise.
If our purists had the vote in 1776, there would be no USA because they wouldn't have agreed with slavery, and the RINO's were in favor of slavery, so they would hold their breath and join the british.
Same logic, different times.
So cottonpicker and swamprat and the rest of the purists can scream and holler and denigrate me, but they can't disprove the logic.
I have not heard or seen any recent polls. However, the initial polls that were done 3-6 months ago showed that Brown could/would beat Shaheen in a head to head matchup. Obviously, these were polls that were made public. The paid for scientific polls done for the parties must be showing that Brown could/would win or Brown would not be running.
Shaheen had been a popular governor and relatively popular in the state until recently. This Obamacare vote and support may just kill her career. That is OK with me. Plus her husbands law firm is one of the biggest in the state. I was a potential juror(never picked) on a case his firm won against a pharmaceutical company. The settlement was $20 million. They are part of the problem driving up the cost of healthcare.
I'm for Andy Martin.
Scott Brown can crawl back to MA where he belongs.
Where is Andy Martin from? I have never heard of him.
Sounds very much like Colorado.
My brother lives in NH and would agree with what you've said.
The place to push the full on Conservative line is conservative States.
Holding the line is the best we can hope for in NH for now.
Demographically, NH is probably very similar to CO.
I think most NH people want the government to balance the budget, keep the roads paved and mind your own business.
He was born in Middletown, CT, but his family is all from Manchester, NH, and he's spent a lot of time here.
When you read all of his bio, here:
You'll see why the media want's to make sure you never hear about him.
There's also the beginnings of his campaign website here:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "New Hampshire born and bred" Jeanne Shaheen from Missouri?
"I think that he is a real long shot in New Hampshire even though the carpetbagger charge is spurious as he apparently has seriously long term family ties there.
I used to think that school superintendents were the highest paid "migrant workers" in the country, but as you point out there is a similar "picture" in politics today. The one thing that is true is that the "political effluent" that has "migrated" all over the country has had it's "roots" in the Northeastern States.
Same with Colorado except maybe a bit more pro-guns than NH but it might be a toss up.
NH is really pretty and full of nice people who don't want to be told what to do.
Other than Boulder, CO is very similar.

One can test drive a platform preview of Internet Explorer 9 which is offered with a number of IE9's capabilities. According to Microsoft, the browser will be able to provide speedy performance and users will be enabled with much-improved support for Web standards.
The strongest side of the browser is HTML5, due to which IE9 will be able to move beyond resource hogging browser plug-ins, such as the ubiquitous Adobe Flash to show multimedia content online.
The Preview is regarded as a way used for Web developers in order they could test their sites and also they will be able to understand the way to implement HTML5's capabilities. It is also planned by the company to offer a new Preview version every 8 weeks.
One should mention that the Platform Preview is not regarded as a fully-functional browser. It lacks a back button as well as address bar. But still some of its features can or cannot be presented in the releasing version of IE9, everything depends on feedback from Platform Preview testers.
The company launched several technology demos that showcase IE9's improved handling of JavaScript, capabilities of HTML5 as well as its back-up for hardware-accelerated graphics.

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Benedict is urging Christians to pray
"that baby Jesus in the manger might inspire" Israelis and
Palestinians to immediately end the bloody conflict in the Gaza
Benedict's appeal for peace Sunday is the latest of several he has made since Christmas. The West Bank city of Bethlehem will observe Orthodox Christmas later this week.
The pope told pilgrims in St. Peter's Square on Sunday that the conflict in Gaza "shows how the refusal of dialogue leads to situations that place unspeakable burden on people who are, once again, victims of hatred and war."
The Vatican has said Pope Benedict hopes to visit the Holy Land in the spring.

Standards development organizations ("SDOs", including consortia) increasingly collaborate with one another, both domestically and internationally, with respect to the development of technical specifications/standards. These collaborative efforts (commonly referred to as "liaisons") exist in various forms, ranging from (1) an informal, but coordinated effort involving some type of structured cross-communication, to (2) a formal, written agreement between the SDOs establishing each organization's rights and obligations, to (3) one SDO "normatively referencing" the specifications/standards of a second SDO as a required element of the referencing organization's own standards.
When successful, liaison arrangements can serve many useful purposes, such as reducing duplication, expediting standards development and adoption, and promoting the interoperability of standards. On the other hand, if not clearly understood and defined at the outset, such liaisons can create real risks and problems not only for the SDOs, but also for the SDOs' members and for any implementers of standards that are developed by the SDOs.
One of the most common and most problematic liaison scenarios occurs when specifications created in one SDO are subsequently used (in whole or in part) to develop specifications/standards in a different SDO. In particular, while SDOs often own the copyrights in the standards they adopt, they generally do not own the patent rights that may be infringed by implementing the standard. Instead, it is common practice for the SDO members to retain their ownership rights in their patents and only to commit to licensing their patents to implementers of the specific standard under the terms of the patent policy of the SDO that developed the standard. Thus, when an SDO contributes a standard to another SDO's standards development effort which results in a new and/or different standard, the patent commitments that were made with respect to the original standard may not extend to the newly developed standard effort. With this background in mind, consider the following hypothetical (yet fairly typical) scenario:
SDO 1 develops a technical specification. At some point, however, SDO 1 wishes to hand off this specification to SDO 2 for completion, adoption, promotion, and/or to further ensure the commercial deployment and success of such specification. Even assuming SDO 1 has copyright ownership in the specification and thus has the ability to hand it off to SDO 2 for such further processing, various patent issues and risks may exist. Suppose that there are five key contributors to the specs developed by SDO 1 that are not members of SDO 2. Unless SDO 1 and SDO 2 establish a clear understanding beforehand as to the rights and obligations of these five key contributors, there is the potential for confusion and derailment of SDO 2's objectives. What if one of these key contributors was only willing to make its original contribution of essential patented technology to SDO 1 because it could do so on a reasonable and non-discriminatory ("RAND") basis including the ability to charge reasonable royalties, but is unwilling to extend use of such essential patented technology to SDO 2, whose intellectual property ("IP") policy requires all essential patent holders to commit to royalty-free licensing to all implementers of SDO 2's standards? Further complicating matters, what if SDO 2 only wants to include a portion of a specification developed by SDO 1 in an SDO 2 standard? Even assuming the two SDOs' IP policies are similar (i.e., both allow for RAND royalties), if the contributors to SDO 1 agreed to certain licensing terms based on implementation of the SDO 1 specification in its entirety, the partial implementation of the SDO 1 specification by implementers of the SDO 2 standard may give rise to the argument that SDO 1 contributors would not have any obligation to license their essential patented technology to SDO 2's implementers. In either case, the negative impact on the success of the SDO 2 standard could be significant.
As this hypothetical illustrates, it is essential that SDOs understand the key issues surrounding their collaborative relationships with other SDOs in the development of standards and address them before pursuing the adoption and promotion of such standards. This paper provides an overview of the risks and core issues that are generally at stake when creating these types of liaison relationships.
More specifically, this paper (1) describes the various ways in which SDOs collaborate with one another on the development of specifications/standards (including through normative references), (2) identifies the principal legal risks associated with such collaborations, and (3) suggests key issues for SDOs to consider as they contemplate the creation of a liaison and/or normative referencing policy to minimize such risks.
It is important to stress at the outset that all SDOs are different, serving different constituents often with unique needs and requirements. As such, it is not possible to design a generic liaison or normative referencing policy that is suitable for each and every SDO. As the discussion below indicates, different SDOs have approached these questions with different points of emphases, undoubtedly driven by the particular needs, characteristics, and operations of their own organizations. This paper does not endorse any one approach or suggest that one is better or worse than the others. Rather, the purpose and hope of this paper is that SDOs will recognize that before they form liaisons with, or normatively reference the standards of, another SDO they should first put in place clear written policies, customized to their organization, that govern these relationships and references so as to avoid ambiguity and legal risks to the SDO and its members/contributors, as well as to implementers of their standards.
The overall formality of a liaison arrangement between SDOs can vary greatly. However, roughly speaking, there are generally two types of liaison relationships that may arise when SDOs wish to assist one another in the joint development of standards – (1) informal liaison arrangements, and (2) formal liaison agreements. Each is discussed below.
SDOs will sometimes collaborate for extended periods of time on the development of a specification or standard without any written documentation as to the applicable rules of governance, IP policy, etc. For example, SDOs like IETF (http://www.rnp.br/ietf/internet-drafts/draft-iab-liaison-mgt-00.txt) that traditionally operate on an informal basis are less likely to have detailed liaison policies and may prefer to retain that informality, to the extent possible, in a joint development arrangement. While such informal collaborations can certainly streamline standards adoption, they also present the greatest potential for legal risks and problems.
Specifically, if there are no written guidelines or rules explaining how such joint standards development will work, a number of fundamental and complex questions will go unanswered, such as the following: (1) how will IP contributions to the joint effort be treated and licensed? (2) what patent disclosure obligations, if any, will apply to the contributors to, and participants in, the collaborative effort? (3) who will own and be in charge of future updates to the jointly developed standard? (4) what licenses will implementers need to create compliant products and what are the permissible terms for such licenses -- royalty-free? RAND? Particularly if the separate IP policies and other governance documents of the collaborating SDOs differ, the absence of a clear document explaining how their collaborative work will be done and how any resulting intellectual property and other issues will be handled can lead to significant confusion and legal problems, thereby undermining the potential efficiency benefits of the informal arrangement.
Recognizing the pitfalls associated with undocumented, informal liaisons as discussed above, some SDOs (such as ANSI, ITU, ISO, OASIS, W3C, OMA, and others) have established formal written procedures and guidelines as to how, with whom, and under what circumstances they may form formal liaisons with other SDOs in order to jointly develop a specification or standard. One of the most common ways such joint development is done is through the establishment of a joint technical committee staffed by members of each respective SDO which operates under policies and procedures specifically designed for such joint effort.
For example, ITU Study Groups engage in active collaboration with ISO, IEC, and JTC1 working groups, as well as with other outside entities, to develop certain standards. Typically, these joint efforts are governed by formal written policies (including IP policies and IP disclosure forms) unique to such joint efforts. In fact, the ITU and JTC1 have developed a "Guide for ITU-T and ISO/IEC JTC1 Cooperation" (http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/80718.html), which specifies the procedures to follow when ITU-T and JTC1 collaborate to develop an International Standard. ITU and ISO have also adopted a joint patent disclosure form (http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/dbase/patent/index.html) that is to be used for disclosing patent information for common texts developed through these collaborative efforts. One such collaborative effort is the "Joint Video Team" ("JVT"), comprised of members of the JTC1/SC 29/WG 11 and the ITU-T's SG-16, to develop MPEG-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding (AVC). Special guidelines, called "Terms of Reference," have been established to govern this joint standards effort (see http://www.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/sc29/29w12911jvt.pdf).
Again, the point of such examples is not to endorse any particular liaison arrangement, but instead to identify key issues that should be considered by SDOs when contemplating similar collaborative efforts. The next section discusses in greater detail a number of the key issues that SDOs should consider addressing, in writing, as part of any such joint standards development effort.

Have heard, via an NFL agent, that Patriots coach Bill Belichick has made offers to some of his free agents � in particular, wide receiver Julian Edelman � but the proferred deals won�t be on the table for very long.
Word is that what Belichick is saying is: Here�s what we�re offering. Take it � and take it quickly � if you want to stay in New England. Otherwise, take the next flight out of town.
Belichick clearly knows in which direction he wants to go. Patriots fans have to hope it will lead to a Super Bowl, following the frustration of losing back-to-back, AFC championship games.

About Capt. Dave's Dolphin and Whale Watching Trips
Aboard Captain Dave's Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari there is never a dull moment, always a learning opportunity, and guaranteed a thrill. On our dolphin and whale watching trips you can be close enough to smell their breath! And we see whales and dolphins all year long. Take a look at our whale watching sightings to get an idea of how often we see whales and dolphins on our trips.
Our boats are safe, stable, and designed especially for you to get up close and personal with the awesome dolphins and whales of Southern California.
We leave from Dana Point Harbor daily and take you on an unforgettable ocean adventure. Dana Point is located not too far from San Diego (approximately 60 minutes away). And we're a short drive south from Disneyland in Anaheim. Our Dana Point whale watching trips serve all of Southern California including Los Angeles, Long Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and San Diego.
Captain Dave is an experienced marine naturalist who has been leading dolphin and whale watching tours from Dana Point since 1995. He has also created and produced the award winning documentary, Wild Dolphins & Whales of Southern California and wrote an award winning book, Lily, A Gray Whale's Odyssey.
A few reasons why we're so different:
• Our high-tech catamaran sailboat, "Manute'a", has the world's only Eye to Eye Underwater Viewing Pods. You can feel what it's like to swim with dolphins and BE one of the pod!
• Capt Dave is THE dolphin and whale expert! A marine naturalist, award winning filmmaker and author, photographer, conservationist, whale watching Captain, and frequent guest speaker, he spends more time with these animals than anyone we know! Did we mention, he's also a really great guy?
• Our specially designed whale watching boats can get you UP CLOSE!
• Venture out on our Eye-Spy Dolphin Nets aboard our catamaran sailboats Manute'a and DolphinSafari for a really close encounter! See dolphins, sometimes whales, and other wildlife swimming just under your feet.
• Whale watch in luxury aboard our power catamaran Lily, which features cushioned seating and wind protection on the bow.
• Enjoy an intimate (12 passenger max) and high-speed whale watching adventure aboard our new Coast Guard certified rigid hull inflatable catamaran Fast Cat.
• We offer true eco-tours! We do not offer sportfishing, which does cause the unintended death and injury of animals such as sea lions and marine birds.
• On the way home, our naturalists will teach you about the animals. You can learn first-hand how these animals eat, sleep and live.
• Mrs. Capt. Dave's famously yummy triple fudge brownies are served on every whale watching trip (that's the real reason some folks come on our trips!).
Don't take our word for it. Read what other whale watchers have to say about our safaris!
Questions? Contact us to learn more about our dolphin and whale watching safaris or to make reservations.
A couple of our favorite videos taken during our regular whale watching safaris:
This whale headed straight for us and turned aside just seconds before contact. Capt. Dave shot the surface footage and a passenger, Leslie Jeanne Morava, shot the underwater footage while she was in our Underwater Viewing Pod. WOW!!!
A pod of 7 transient killer whales attacked and killed a California seal lion. Whale Watchers on board Capt. Dave's Whale Watching Safari were amazed by this rare display. Some passengers were able to witness the event underwater from the vessel's two underwater viewing pods.

Catamount is a really nice small full-sized ski station, with surprisingly long runs through really pretty glades and is a great challenge to your technique.
Brilliant for good intermediates and below, it is very close to the beautiful and cultured towns of Great Barrington and Stockbridge and if you were planning to stay for a while, there's plenty of variety in skiing if you include a visit or two to Catamount with visits to a couple of other very nearby skiing areas (Butternut and Mohawk, maybe).
The mid-week deals are amazing for anybody up to high intermediate, $84 for lift ticket/rentals and lesson, which may turn out to be private with great instructors. Instructors discussing the economy and international trade – as I said, it's a cultured area. And very friendly lodge and booking staff.
A few other reviewers have complained about the ice/hard snow and the limited skiing. Well, if you are an expert, that's probably true of everywhere except the big mountain resorts a few hours north.
The snow in New England does seem to be icier than elsewhere, but with an instructor, is an amazing way to improve your technique – I was amazed at how many skiers where really good technically. I found it really hard to grip for turns, but later in my second day, I could really feel I'd improved.

Bayesian sample size determination for binary regression with a misclassified covariate and no gold standard
Covariate misclassification is a common problem in epidemiology, genetics, and other biomedical areas. Because this form of misclassification is known to bias estimators, accounting for it at the design stage is of high importance. In this paper, we extend on previous work applied to response misclassification by developing a Bayesian approach to sample size determination for a covariate misclassification model with no gold standard. Our procedure considers both conditionally independent tests and tests in which dependence exists between classifiers. We specifically consider a Bayesian power criterion for the sample size determination scheme, and we demonstrate the improvement in model power for our dual classifier approach compared to a naïve single classifier approach.

When I try getting the Path from the IStorageItems passed back to me from a Share Target's GetStorageItemsAsync() call when sharing from the Windows 8 Photos app, the Path property for all items returned is empty. The Name (filename) is properly populated. However, I need the actual Path, and there doesn't appear to be a way to get it.
Is this a bug in Windows 8's Photos app, or am I doing something wrong?
My code to get the list of items:

So I know that Christmas was yesterday and all that, but here I got some after holidays present for all of you guys that were dying to see some celebrities on Christmas and of course in a sexy way.
Here we got a little collection of pretty sexy celebrities on Christmas on really hot Santa's Costumes and with a Santa like any of these one we could wait forever at the fireplace waiting for her to come down.
Anyways, we here expect that you had a merry Christmas and see these sexy celebrities on Christmas photos as our present for you, and expect that you will give them good use on these cold December nights.
It has become a trend seeing naked celebrities advertisements, for famous Peta organization, apparently almost every hot chick on the planet is or will soon be a vegetarian, cause as they say "Animals also have a heart".
It seems pretty funny that naked celebrities try to make all of us go vegetarian with an ad showing some human flesh, cause c'mon who gets the time to read the messages, all we do is to look at those sexy curves completelly naked.
The first thing we do is to look at the naked celebrities ass, tits and if they tease us with more even better, so the bottom line is, I don't think any of us are interested in going vegetarian but we can always use some visual estimulation with this ads, a naked woman can be a lot of help for any matter.
This time we have a surprise for you, and we have decided to make a combo of several pictures of some of our favourite celebrities exposed. We will give some upskirts, sideboobs, nipple and ass wink, etc.
Our list has another O.C. Star, is the adorable Rachel Bilson who gave us an upskirt, too bad that it wasn't like Lindsay's or horrible Britney, but let's think that she did it with class, not bad for our first on the list of celebrities exposed.
Next we have our crazy friend who is back on L.A., yeap it's Lindsay Lohan that gives us a great sideboob, we all know that she has some nice juggs, and to end the list of celebrities exposed, we have the hottie Uma Thurman that we gotta say it's like the wine the older the better, here we have some see-through dress with some nipple and ass flash. Enjoy!

The days when ambitious teens could get jobs sweeping factory
floors, stocking shelves or working checkouts in the school
holidays, appear to be ending.
Dunedin recruitment agencies say secondary school pupils
looking for the traditional summer holiday job may be out of
luck this year.
Select Recruitment managing director Karen Bardwell said the
company had a couple of clients with job vacancies which
would suit school leavers, but there was nothing for those
wanting short-term jobs over the school holidays.
''Going back a few years, we would have had about a dozen
jobs suitable for secondary school students over the summer,
but those seem to have dried up.''
There were ''temping jobs'' where secondary school pupils
could be assigned a different job at a different business
every day of the week.
Some days they could be working, and on other days there
might be no work and no pay, she said.
She said it was good for school pupils to have traditional
holiday jobs because it prepared them for the workforce by
giving them work experience and a good work ethic.
''Since the economic downturn, there has been less holiday
work. Companies are tightening their belts.''
Ms Bardwell said supermarkets used to be one of the best
businesses for employing school pupils in the holidays, but
had dried up as a source of those opportunities.
''I was surprised that not even supermarkets are giving as
much work to school students now. They are more focused on
employing university students.
''It's because they have to pay minimum wage now and they
want more experienced workers in their jobs for that kind of
''It's a significant downside to the change in legislation.''
Tradestaff Southern area manager Steve Aydon agreed many of
the holiday jobs that used to be available, had disappeared
since companies started reining in labour costs.
He believed many businesses were getting existing staff to do
the jobs a holiday worker would normally do.
He said some of the jobs available required manual labour and
were just too strenuous for most senior secondary school
''A lot of them aren't strong enough or mature enough to do
some of the jobs available.''
Often, teens were overlooked in favour of university
students, he said.
And if there were any jobs that were suitable for teens
during the holidays, they were given privately to pupils who
had family connections at the workplace, he believed.
''The jobs just aren't there any more. If the work was there,
we would be able to put them in there.''
Adecco Personnel southern area manager Teresa Moore said
fruit-picking in Central Otago was still a holiday job option
for teens, but for those wanting work in urban areas, choices
were sparse.
''It's hard enough to keep mums and dads in work, what with
all the closures, layoffs and restructuring going on in the
city. It's sad.''
She said in the past the recruitment agency had a lot of
holiday work in factories for teens, doing simple
Given that Dunedin has very few factories left, those jobs
were rare.
However, the news was not all bad.
Miss Moore, Mr Aydon and Ms Bardwell said there were
definitely still full-time jobs for school leavers -
particularly if they were ambitious, focused and had a
positive attitude.
''That's the trick,'' Mr Aydon said.
''If they've got the right attitude, we can get them a job.''

Informative benchmarks are crucial for optimizing the page segmentation step of an OCR system, frequently the performance limiting step for overall OCR system performance. We show that current evaluation scores are insufficient for diagnosing specific errors in page segmentation and fail to identify some classes of serious segmentation errors altogether. This paper introduces a vectorial score that is sensitive to, and identifies, the most important classes of segmentation errors (over, under, and mis-segmentation) and what page components (lines, blocks, etc.) are affected. Unlike previous schemes, our evaluation method has a canonical representation of ground-truth data and guarantees pixel-accurate evaluation results for arbitrary region shapes. We present the results of evaluating widely used segmentation algorithms (x-y cut, smearing, whitespace analysis, constrained text-line finding, docstrum, and Voronoi) on the UW-III database and demonstrate that the new evaluation scheme permits the identification of several specific flaws in individual segmentation methods.

2. is tiger back?: everytime he wins, he's back. everytime he loses, he's done and will never win again. sports writers who think this story is fodder for a column straight up suck.
3. jeremy lin to the ????: seriously, has a borderline starter ever gotten this much press over who they sign with? outside of ny and houston, the rest of us are sick and tired of hearing about this. talk to me when he's on the court and doing something again.

Week 6 Day 3 of C25k completed 25minute run without stopping ran some decent inclines on the sidewalks i ran tonight and did 2.15 miles running in 25min and 2.55 with warm up and cool down in 32 minutes.
Started C25k 5-1-11
Begining Weight - 263
Goal Weight - 200
Goal to run a 5k on July 4th
Today I did W8D2 attempt 3 and made it--actually running for 32 min+, whick was 2.25 miles!! I put off my run until evening--I was just too tired when I got home from work this morning. The 4-hour sleep days finally caught up with me. Slept all day and into the eveing, with only one wake-up call during the day. Man, did it feel good!! Got up and went out for a 2.5 mile run--the 28 min run part of it was the easiest yet, and my pace was abt 30 sec/mile faster than my usual training pace. I am planning a short run tomorrow--only an easy 1.5 miles. (Hmm--never would have thought 6 weeks ago that I would call a 1.5 mile run "easy" ), then my next 5K on Saturday. It should be a relatively flat course. The last time I did this particular race was 28 years ago... I am hoping to break 42 min on this one, but anything less than 45 will make me happy!!
When I finish the C25K program, I want to re-do weeks 7-9 for distance. I made the decision today that I will be soing a half-marathon in October. It will be the first running of the Empire State Marathon and Half-Marathon in Syracuse, NY. It's close to home, I know the roads, and it is a nice, flat course. There's something to participate in the first running, too. So...I will be looking to all you guys for your support when I get whiny, sore, and wonder if I can do it.
Looking to do a 10K in August. I can do this!!!!

I'm nearing the 50 mile mark and I am getting pretty excited about it. Looking forward to getting there and beyond. I just wanted to say thanks so much for the inspiration that all of you have given me thus far in my journey! I'm planning on getting myself a little gift to celebrate perhaps a couple of new workout items. Congrats everyone on their achievements I know I'm really excited to get to 50 miles.
Starting Weight 5/16 309 lbs
Current Weight 6/27 294 lbs
Total Miles (Began May 16, 2011)
As of 7/13/11 - 71.99 Miles
Ran three days this week, which I haven't done in forever. Was just shy of 3 miles with the warm up. Used 5d2 for intervals again and managed to push through another 2 or 3 minutes at the end of the second 8 minute run. I think I'll be able to pull off three reps on Sunday, which would be nice to accomplish. If I can get through that, I'll try my 15/5/15 Tuesday and Thursday and then add another 5/15 on Saturday. Based on my Nike+ pace from runs segments today, that would have be at just over 5 miles.
Ok- first Skirts- Im not exactly the "skirt type". I would rather run in jeans than a skirt, HOWEVER, I see their merits and they can provide a nice breeze....
I dont care for them as a clothing article because I, as I have said, don't have the factory air and I prefer seperation between church and state (my colorful reference to parts of my anatomy that I care not to detail). As a "Skort" (which seems like it should be an adjetive for the sound made my some device used for suction- "My vacuum makes this skort sound") comes with built in drawers, the frilly seems decorative and I prefer not to draw more attention to my looming backside. But thats just me.
I am taking the day to relax in preparation for the mud bash tomorrow where I see it as an excuse to play with dirt and drink beer in public. Finally I need not blame my behavior on my child.
I'm a slow moving creature but at least you have someone to pass!
In the quest to lose my backside I may have lost my mind!

I am trying not to beat myself up -- there is something about Friday morning where I just cannot motivate. All week I get up early and work out, whether it's running 3 miles or doing yoga. Once/week I even drive 90 minutes to go to my advanced yoga studio. But Friday I tend to oversleep. It doesn't help that one of my dogs decided she would keep us up all night and I have some random bug bites all over my backside and took 2 benedryl which knocks me out. (After the dog finally calmed down, I fell fast asleep at 4am)
So, I missed today's run. That, of course, doesn't mean I can't run tomorrow or even tonight. I'm not going to get all out of shape because I missed one 3 mile run today.
Anyway, just posting my frustration with myself. It isn't too hot out today, so running this evening isn't out of the question.

Hey everybody! Hope everyone has a great Friday and a great weekend!!! Work is a little bit stressful today so cannot wait for it to be over! I am thinking about doing a 15 or so mile bike ride tonight after work but my body is kinda tired. This is the point where I question.. do I give my body a rest or man up and go ride? I would rather bike than run i suppose, that would give my shins a break till tomorrow when I hit the pavement to practice on the triathlon course and the pool in the morning. Ahh the life of a triathlete in training!!! It's exhausting and wonderful!

Val... you are killing me.. laughing out loud at my desk!
Much happiness for me... went for a hike yesterday after work, did about a mile on the trails in rolling hills etc... legs felt great. Then after dinner I went for a walk around the neighborhood. Ended up doing 2.25 miles barefoot. Did a few very short running intervals... a couple one phone pole length, two for two poles and one three pole stretch... a tiny bit of tightness in that calf, but massaged and seems fine today. So at least I'm back out. legs feel good to have a workout under them even if it was just 3.5 MPH walking.
Fingers crossed, I'm hopeful. :-)

Good afternoon to all, and I hope you guys are enjoying your friday! I have a dilemma and I am feelin very discouraged. I began the C25K program in March, I completed it in May, and I have continued training to get my guts up to race. Overall I feel healthier, happier, and have noticed a few changes in my physique, but my serious issue is...NO WEIGHT LOSS!! I have cut back on my eating dramatically and still no success. I do eat candy and sweets quite a bit (about 3-4 days per week), but in moderation. Does anyone think I should knuckle down on my diet and only eat what is good for me? like lean meats, vegetables, and water only? I really love sweets, but if they are hindering my weight loss, I have no problem cutting them out cold turkey.I also am not a fast food eater or soda drinker, I gave those up about a year ago (well, every now and then). I also picked up strength training a couple of weeks ago and lost about five pounds, but I weighed myself to day and they were back!! It is very upsetting and I was planning on entering a 5K tomorrow morning, but I am starting to think running is not what works to lose weight for me. I do it for fun, but what else can I do to speed up this weight loss progress. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!! SOMEBODY!!!! I REALLY NEED A SERIOUS PICK ME UP!! I'll be posting this is each community I have entered so I apologize in advance for the repeats. THANKS!!!
I would strongly suggest you consider joining Weight Watchers. I've been doing it for a while and it definitely works (or will, as long as you follow the program and have no hidden medical issues that could cause you to not lose weight.) The biggest thing for me was learning just what a correct portion of food should be (hint: for pasta a serving is ONE cup. that's IT. Measure that out sometime. Most of us eat 4x that at one meal...) I also learned how not to over do things. coping strategies to deal with real world things like vacations and etc, and about making better choices.

... I may be slow, but I'm still lapping everyone on the couch!
I was there were you are now. The thing that changed for me is I started logging in everything I ate. When I did, and was honest about it, I was shocked at all the calories I was eating at restaurants and late night snacks.
I started using www.myfitnesspal.com which allowed me o determine how many calories I should be taking in to maintain my weight, and how much calories I should be taking in if I wanted a healthy weightloss.
We tend to make weightloss complicated. It can be if we make it so. I learned that our weight is determined by three factors:
What we eat
Our metabolism
Our physical activity.
If we want to decrease our weight we need to make a constant shift in the balance. I used to say that I didn't drink sodas (most of the time) and I didn't eat sweets (except once in a while). The trouble Is when I started logging my intake I found those odd beers and occassional sweets and once-in-a-while late night snacks often turned into 1500 calorie binges.
I started logging everything I eat and it keeps me accountable and responsible. More important I am keenly aware of what I need to do if I want to work towards my goal. I'm not a saint - I drink alcohol (occasionally) and have sweets (sometimes) but each time I do I now exactly how many miles I need to run to keep my weight loss goals in play. It is a lifestyle change.
It's like feeling sick and popping some aspirin. Will they help? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on what is causing the problem. All fof us who have had weight issues have had a problem - normally not taking the time to really look at our situation fully and honestly. How much ativity do we really do. how much food do we really eat. What are we doing to sabotage the things we want to do.
Just running won't do it. Just dieting won't do it. You have to make an effort to educate yourself about your needs and make some choices.
Since November I have gone from 295 pounds to 243 pounds. I've gone from barely gasping through a 60 second run to tomorrow running an 8-mile long run. Mostly I've changed the way I eat so I have an awareness of how my caloric intake effects my body. I'm no eating because I'm hungry, i'm eating because i want to do things and my eating right makes those things possible.
I did it. You can do it.
Like Yoda says:
"Do not try. Do, or do not."
You can do it. just do it.

Richard: Loved your advice on weight loss, etc. Absolutely on the money. And I love My Fitness Pal! That is an awesome site. I actually started double logging (already a Weight Watchers member) because I had been in a plateau for 6 months. Now, I"m back to losing 1/2 to 1 pound a week - not a lot but I"ve only got 17 more to go to goal! As you say, I love what My Fitness Pal does for you in the statistics and logging department. Logging every day is a huge part of being accountable. And congratulations, by the way, on your weight loss and all your accomplishments!
It is profoundly amazing to me that, on becoming a runner, I really started caring what I eat - some because I know how much it takes to run it off - and part because I don't want to "dishonor" my hard working body! I mean, this is a high performance engine now - it's like putting regular gas in a Ferrari when I eat crap!
I'm running my first 8K race tomorrow - the Durham Running of the Bulls (love the name!!) but heat and humidity are back up so I'm not sure how fast I'll be. I'd rather not have a stroke. hahahahaha. Earlier this week, when weather was delicious and cool at 5 a.m., I was having my fastest speeds ever and was on target for possibly placing in top 3-5 (based on last 2 years) but ..... I'm not going to risk it if it is hot and sticky. Still, it is my first 8K so it will be personal best already, right?! hahahahaha
Good luck to everyone running this weekend. Run safe and smart in the heat, though.

Saints progress to the last four, while the Wolves will have to wait to find out who they must beat if they are to join them in the last four.
"We did not attack as well as we needed to. We were impatient and did not ask enough questions of Saints when we had them in their area," Smith said. "We let them off the hook. It did not flow for us."
He added: "We were good defensively for much of the game. But they took advantage when we slipped up. We were not at our best and need to be at this stage of the competition.
"You have your good days and some not so good. It was not disastrous but you need to be at your best. The players are responsive, we will work hard this week and now we get to play another game."
Saints boss Mike Rush was delighted with the win that takes his side 80 minutes away from a seventh consecutive Grand Final appearance.
He said: "Defensively we were outstanding playing against a quality side with some smart players. We withstood 20 tackles on our goal line and that was a true reflection of the determination this squad has got.
"Others have doubted our forwards this year but it was nice to prove people wrong. When questions are asked the players take it and come back a little bit stronger and hopefully that little bit better."
He saved particular praise for the effort of man of the match Sia Soliola.
He said: "Sia was enthusiastic and charged around at 3,000 miles an hour at first. But every time he goes on to the field he plays for the club and the town and I don't think you can ask any more of a player."
