Samaritans Feet is a non-profit humanitarian aid organization that has become a community of more than 70,000 volunteers who have joined together to make a difference in the lives of children in need in every corner of the world. From a dream to the reality of over four million impoverished children and adults in more than 60 nations being served by having their feet washed, receiving a new pair of shoes, and hearing a message of hope.
Spearheaded by Duke senior Maddie Salamone, the recently elected chair of the Division I National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Duke will encourage fans to donate money for shoes for those in need. A $10 donation is equal to a new pair of shoes.
The Feb. 12 wrestling match with the Tar Heels begins the weeklong fundraiser and Duke head coach Glen Lanham will be coaching barefoot to raise awareness for the organization and the need for shoes for those impoverished in the United States and around the world.
Three days later, the women's lacrosse team takes to the field against Richmond donning orange shoelaces in support of the foundation. Finally, in conjunction with its annual Play 4Kay game Feb. 17, the Duke and Wake Forest women's basketball head coaches will coach in bare feet for Samaritans Feet.
Students will be able to donate the $10 by simply swiping their Duke ID card at any of the three events. All proceeds go directly to the Samaritans Feet organization. Other fans looking to support the cause can make a $10 donation in cash.
Samaritans Feet was started by Emmanuel Ohonme after his life was forever changed when a stranger gave him his first pair of shoes as a boy in Lagos, Nigerian. Ohonme went on to earn a Division I basketball scholarship and became inspired to fulfill his vision of putting 10 million pairs of shoes on the feet of 10 million orphans and impoverished people a reality.

DURHAM, N.C. – After posting an opening round nine over-par 297, the 25th-ranked Duke men's golf team rallied in the second round to post a season-best seven under-par 281 to conclude the day tied for fifth place at the fourth annual Rod Myers Invitational, held at the Duke University Golf Club. The Blue Devils seek to claim their third consecutive title at the Rod Myers Invitational as they trail clubhouse leader Northwestern by 15 shots entering Sunday's final round.
Northwestern owns the lead at the event after carding a blistering 13 under-par 563, while North Carolina, Baylor, Liberty and Duke round out the top five, respectively. Northwestern's Matt Fitzpatrick holds the individual lead at the event after carding a nine-under par 135, while teammate Jack Perry, Baylor's Kyle Jones, North Carolina's Davis Bateman and Liberty's Chase Marinell concluded the day in the top five. Sophomore Boo Timko of Ohio State tied a course record with a second-round, seven under par 65, and currently sits in a tie for sixth entering the final day.
Sophomore Motin Yeung led the way for the Blue Devils after carding a two-under par 142, on the day. Yeung opened the 2013 Rod Myers Invitational by recording six pars before birdieing the par-five seventh. A native of Beijing, China, Yeung made bogeys at No. 8 and No. 10 and double-bogeyed No. 12 before battling back with birdies at the par-5 14th, par-4 16th, and par-4 18th to record an even-par 72. In the second round, Yeung tallied birdies at No. 8 and No. 9 to card a one-under par 35 on the front nine. On the back side, Yeung continued his solid play with a birdie at the par-4, 14th before dropping a shot at the par-5 14th. Yeung rallied to string together three pars before closing his day with a birdie to put him in a tie for 10th.
Freshman Max Greyserman opened his tournament with bogeys on three of his first four holes before making a crucial birdie at the 399-yard, par-4 fifth hole. After closing out the front nine in 39, Greyserman made bogeys on No. 10 and No. 11 but responded with birdies at the par-5 14th and par-4 18th to post a first round 76. During the second round, the Short Hills, N.J., native made five birdies en-route to a two-under par 70, giving him a two-round total of 146. Greyserman has now recorded a team-best three under-par rounds this season.
After registering an opening round six-over par 78, senior Yaroslav Merkulov began the second round with birdies on the first and second holes before stringing together six consecutive pars. On the 493-yard, par-five ninth hole, Merkulov made an eagle to close out the front nine in 32, and continued his outstanding play on the back side by birdieing the par-5 11th to pull to five-under par for the round. After making a bogey on No. 12, the Penfield, N.Y., native, birdied No. 14, but dropped shots at No. 17 and No. 18 to record a season-best, three-under par, 69. Merkulov enters the final round in a tie for 28th.
Alexander Matlari, a native of Leimen, Germany, posted a three-over par 75 in the first round after recording two birdies, 13 pars, three bogeys and a double bogey. The freshman opened his second round with a double bogey on No. 1, but responded by stringing together three consecutive birdies at the seventh, eighth and ninth holes respectively to card an even par 36 on the opening nine. On the back side, Matlari dropped shots at No. 12 and No. 16, but converted crucial birdies at No. 14 and No. 18 to post a second round 73, leaving him in a tie for 28th place with a two-round total of three-over par, 147.
Junior Turner Southey-Gordon carded a two-over par 74 in the first round after making three birdies, three bogies and a double bogey in his opening 18. In the second round, the Toronto, Canada, native made a double bogey six at the par-4 second, but recorded back-to-back birdies at No. 9 and No. 10 to bring his round back to even. Despite the rally, Southey-Gordon dropped shots at 11 and 12, finishing the day in a tie for 37th place, with a four-over par, 144.
In addition, senior Austin Cody, junior Michael Ricaurte and freshman Andrew Bieber competed in the event as individuals. Cody, a native of North Charleston, S.C., carded a 162, while Ricaurte opened his day with a two-under par 70, but was unable to maintain that momentum in the second round, carding a five-over par 77. After posting an opening round 79, Bieber recorded his first collegiate even-par round with his second round 72 and enters the final round in a tie for 48th place.
While Northwestern (563), North Carolina (575), Baylor (575), Liberty (576), and Duke (578) make up the top five, four other schools – East Carolina (578), Charlotte (579), Ohio State (580) and Pacific (584) – are within six shots of the Blue Devils. Pacific (584), Iowa (590), and Tulsa (592) conclude the day in ninth, 10th, and 11th respectively.
The Blue Devils will tee off at 8:10 a.m. Sunday for the final round of the event. For live scoring, tee times, recaps, tournament history and additional Rod Myers Invitational information is available at www.goduke.com/rmi. Live scoring will also be available at www.golfstat.com.

Jason La Canfora analize the situation on many teams .. among them .. KC Chiefs.. what're your toughts?
Kansas City Chiefs: It's all gone horribly wrong there, there are no signs of life and I cannot imagine a way that Scott Pioli and Romeo Crennel are back next season. Owner Clark Hunt looks for hands-on people, as he is not around the team on a daily basis (which could lead to a GM like Bill Polian being the next man there). This team thought it had playoff potential and now it's jostling for the first overall pick. The fan revolt is palpable there, forcing changes.
Possible replacement: The Chiefs need to start over with a new quarterback and I can't help but wonder if Mike Sherman, who has worked closely with them and who has won at this level, gets a chance there. This hasn't been a big-paying job and I have a hard time projecting "A-list" guys there.

A Boulder County District Court judge has struck down Longmont's fracking ban but said the ban can remain in place while the city considers an appeal.
Judge D.D. Mallard issued the summary judgment Thursday. In the ruling, she said Longmont's charter amendment clearly conflicted with the state's regulations and its interest in the efficient development of oil and gas deposits.
"While the court appreciates the Longmont citizens' sincerely held beliefs about risks to their health and safety, the court does not find this is sufficient to completely devalue the state's interest," Mallard wrote.
Mayor Dennis Coombs said he was disappointed that Mallard ruled against the ban, which was added to the city charter as Article 16 by Longmont voters in 2012.
"I have been pleased with our vigorous defense of Longmont's charter and we are considering all our options moving forward," Coombs said in a Thursday evening statement.
The case had been scheduled for an evidentiary hearing in April. According to city officials, Longmont has spent $116,324 defending the ban as of June 30.
The ban forbids the practice of hydraulic fracturing, which uses high-pressure water, sand and chemicals to crack open hard-to-reach oil and gas deposits. Also known as "fracking," the practice is considered standard in the industry but has been criticized by a number of environmental groups.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Association, the state's largest industry group, sued in 2012 to overturn the ban. It was joined by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission — the state agency that regulates the industry — and TOP Operating, the principal oil and gas company active in Longmont.
"The ruling today is not just a win for the energy industry but for the people of Colorado," said Tisha Schuller, COGA's president and CEO. "The decision demonstrates that the rule of law will prevail in how Colorado oversees one of the most important industries in this state."
She added that COGA valued the role of local governments and wanted to work with them "harmoniously."
The COGCC also has sued Longmont over tightened oil and gas regulations the City Council passed in 2012. That lawsuit is still pending.
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers praised Mallard's decision, saying that the law allowing state regulations to preempt local drilling rules was clear.
"The court got it right," Suthers said. "Under the current law, local governments can't ban fracking."
The city was joined in the suit by the Sierra Club; Food and Water Watch; Earthworks; and by Our Health, Our Future, Our Longmont, the local group that first put the ban before voters.
Kaye Fissinger of Our Longmont said Thursday that the group intended to appeal the case, all the way to the Colorado Supreme Court if necessary. City officials have not yet said if they will file an appeal.
"We need fresh eyes," Fissinger said. "We knew from the start that no matter how it was ruled, it was going to be appealed. If the ban was upheld, the industry would have appealed just as quickly."
Under Colorado law, cities cannot ban drilling entirely but can regulate aspects of it that don't cause an "operational conflict" with state law. To decide if there's a conflict, judges look at whether there's a need for uniform statewide rules, whether local rules have an impact beyond local boundaries, whether the issue is traditionally regulated by state or local governments and whether the Colorado Constitution explicitly gives authority to the state or the local government.
Mallard also looked at whether the matter was mainly of local or state interest, deciding in her ruling that it was a mix. When both sides have an interest, the two sets of rules can sit side-by-side, but if any conflict rises, the state rules take precedence.
In its case, Longmont argued that the state had no rules on fracking, beyond requiring operators to give 48 hours notice and to disclose the chemicals used. In particular, no permits or permissions were required.
"The COGCC's rules amount to non-regulation of hydraulic fracturing," attorneys for the city wrote in May.
Mallard, in her decision, said she wasn't convinced. The COGCC regulates the industry, she wrote, and fracking is one of the practices of that industry.
"Longmont complains that the Commission does not issue permits to frack, it does not tell operators whether to frack a well, it does not tell operators how often to frack a well. ... Instead, these decisions are left to the operators and the professionals who advise them," Mallard wrote. "The court does not see a problem with this arrangement. The purpose of the agency is to provide oversight of the industry, not to micromanage it."
The city and the environmental groups had also argued that much of the case law on drilling was developed before modern drilling practices, and that more weight needed to be put on the effects to health, safety and welfare — a goal that is also part of the COGCC's charter.
Even if that were the case, Mallard said, her courtroom wasn't the place to establish a new public policy.
"Whether public policy should be changed in that manner is a question for the legislature or a different court," Mallard wrote in her decision.
Under the law as it stands, she said, "There is no way to harmonize Longmont's fracking ban with the stated goals of the Oil and Gas Conservation Act. ... The conflict in this case is an irreconcilable conflict."
Fissinger said she did want to see health issues given a greater priority and hoped a higher court would agree.
"We're sorry that the judge didn't give a stronger emphasis to health, safety and welfare," she said. "But she did bring it up and invited other courts to address this."

Nebraska Defeats Baylor At ITA Indoors
Charlottesville, Va. - The No. 17 Huskers (7-1, 1-0 Big Ten) defeated No. 15 Baylor (3-4, 0-0 Big 12) 4-1 in their final match of consolation play at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships hosted by the University of Virgina at the Boar's Head Sports Club. Nebraska faced off against former conference adversaries emerging victorious to finish their stay in Virginia.
The Bears had no duo to compete at the No. 3 position for doubles so the win by default went to Nebraska's Maggy Lehmicke and Izabella Zgierska. Needing only one match victory, the Huskers sealed the doubles point at the No. 2 position where Janine Weinreich and Stefanie Weinstein defeated Baylor's Megan Horter and Alex Leatu 8-3. The No. 1 doubles match didn't finish with the point already decided as Mary Weatherholt and Patricia Veresova were leading the Bears' Ema Burgic and Kiah Generette 6-3.
Leading Baylor 1-0 going into singles, the Huskers extended the lead to 2-0 when Stefanie Weinstein ousted the Bears' Victoria Kisialeva 6-3, 6-1 at the No. 3 position. Baylor grabbed their only point soon after at the No. 6 singles when Alex Leatu defeated Maike Zeppernick 7-5, 6-2.
Nebraska led the match 2-1 but soon finished the match with two quick victories at the No. 5 then No. 1 positions. At the No. 5 spot Nebraska's Janine Weinreich dropped a set to Baylor's Kiah Generette only to sweep the next two for a final of 4-6, 6-0, 6-1. Huskers' Mary Weatherholt edged past Baylor's No. 16 Ema Burgic 6-1, 7-5 at the No. 1 spot to secure the victory at 4-1.
The last two matches went unfinished with Nebraska's Patricia Veresova leading Baylor's Megan Horter 7-6, 4-1 at the No. 2 position and the Huskers' Maggy Lehmicke trailing the Bears' Jordaan Sanford 6-7, 5-6 at the No. 4 spot.
The Huskers return home to face Illinois State at the Nebraska Tennis Center on Friday, Feb. 15 at 4 p.m. before hosting Colorado State two days later on Sunday, Feb. 17 at 11 a.m.

The most wonderful time of the year could also be the least secure.
The most wonderful time of the year could also be the least secure.
Dave McCracken, Neosho police chief, said the number of thefts and burglaries in Neosho are usually highest in December.
"It's pretty normal to see some elevated numbers," McCracken said. "Especially with stealing from vehicles at shopping centers."
To avoid this, he recommends parking in a well-lighted area where there is plenty of foot traffic. It is also recommended that gifts be locked in the trunk or hidden from view when leaving them in the vehicle.
Though he couldn't put a number to it, he said the amount of house burglaries also reaches its highest number in December.
With expensive new gifts wrapped under the tree, or setup somewhere in the home, more thieves tend to act on the opportunity, McCracken said.
He recommends that Neosho residents take a few precautions to avoid becoming the victim of a theft this holiday season.
"The main thing is lock up your valuables, lock up your house," McCracken said. " I don't care if you're just running to the convenience store for five minutes."
He said a locked door can often be the difference between a person's house or their neighbor's home being burglarized, and that most thieves will move on from a locked door.
He also recommended that packaging for new, expensive items, such as for a computer or a television, not be put out on the curb with the rest of the trash, where anyone can see it.
Instead, it is recommended that the packaging be cut up and concealed in the trash can, or taken to the Neosho Recycling Center, at 4700 Bush Dr.
"If they have something that attracts them, that's when they become a victim," McCracken said.
He said thefts and house burglaries during the holidays are not carried out only by career criminals, but many times by those given an opportunity, who act on an impulse.
"A lot of crimes are crimes of opportunity," McCracken said.
While McCracken asks that Neosho residents take extra security precautions this season, he said the Neosho Police Department is also on the lookout for holiday criminals.
"What we normally try to do is get into the residential areas," McCracken said. "To get in the neighborhoods and be seen."
He said when officers regularly patrol the neighborhoods they begin to notice those who are out of place in the area.
"That's one of the advantages of a small town," McCracken said.
Those who need to report a crime or suspicious activity can do so by calling the Neosho Police Department at 451-8012 or 451-8333.

As a stay at home mom, I not only play the role of mommy, but I also play the role of teacher for my kids. During the day, when my daughter is at school, it is my responsibility to keep my son active. We go over many skills that he will need for school during the day, like math and English. On top of that I have to keep my little man going or else he will get bored and a bored 3 year old boy, means trouble, lol. So during that time I make time for play time and physical activity. We might go for a walk and he will ride his bike or we might walk to the park so he can play, but there are days that we can not do that, when the weather is bad or when I am not feeling too hot. On those days, I have to find ways to keep him active in the home, which can be quite a challenge. Recently I was sent some DVD's that have become a solution for me on those indoor days. I was sent some of the Move With Me Action Adventures DVD's to review. I was sent the Monkeying Around at the Zoo DVD.

Rated 29th by WalletHub Report: 2014's Best & Worst Cities for 4th of July Celebrations, Jersey City intends to fill in the gap left by the Macy's by holding its own fireworks for the first time since 2008.
The rating is based on location, nearby accommodations and local quality eateries in the area surrounding the fireworks event. Jersey City was ranked first in the cities reviewed for the most food services per capita and third for most arts, entertainment, and recreation establishments.
Through support from Suntex Marinas, Budweiser, and Fox & Friends, along with a strong assist from the State of New Jersey and the superintendent of Liberty State Park, this year Jersey City will host the Freedom and Fireworks Festival, a free concert followed by a large fireworks display in honor of the 4th of July. The festival will also feature a Taste of Jersey City with food offered by local establishments, children's rides, and local musicians. The event will run from noon to 9 p.m.
The all-day event will start with a festival that includes food trucks, vendors, carnival rides, games, live music, a Budweiser beer garden, the Budweiser Clydesdale Show, and more.
For Budweiser the event will conclude a national campaign to raise money for the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides assistance to the families of military personnel killed or wounded in service. The nonprofit organization also gives scholarships to children and spouses of fallen soldiers. The fireworks are being done by the famous Grucci family. The full cost of the show will be paid by corporate sponsors.
"This will be the largest display in New Jersey," said Mayor Steven Fulop.
Fox News Channel's morning show, "Fox and Friends" is apparently planning to broadcast from some of the events.
This will be the first time Jersey City has held a fireworks show since Macy's moved their show to the Hudson River in 2009. In the past, Jersey City paid as much as $150,000 to hold their show. This year the city pays nothing.
Secaucus, Union City, Bayonne
Secaucus has an event earlier in the week that's open only to residents.
The band Alotta Colada will perform at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 2 at the town pool. The event is free to all town residents and their guests. Rides, food and refreshments will be available. Fireworks will take place after dark.
Union City will not hold fireworks, but has events planned for residents on Wednesday evening, July 2, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
On Palisade Avenue, from Ninth to 15th streets, they will host live music, activities for children, and free hot dogs and soda. Free transportation will be provided starting at 5:30 p.m. from nine stops in other areas of town.
In Bayonne, the holiday will be celebrated on Tuesday, July 1, as part of the inauguration of the new mayor, James Davis. The festivities will take place on the lower level of DiDomenico-16th Street Park, beginning at 7p.m., weather permitting. The park is located between Avenue A and Newark Bay.
John Christian and Soiree will provide musical entertainment from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The musicians cover popular music from the 1940s to the present. The band will play at the municipal amphitheater, which is located at the southwestern corner of the lower level of the park, near Newark Bay.
The City will offer free children's inflatable rides from 7 p.m. to 8:45 p.m and fireworks start at 9:45.
At the Meadowlands fair
The State Fair Meadowlands, next to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, will shoot off fireworks on July 3 and 4 from 10:30 p.m. onwards. This year's fireworks will be put on by Garden State Fireworks, a company run by the Santore family of New Jersey for over 100 years.

David Axelrod, President Obama's political strategist, has what appears to be — from outside the president's re-election campaign, at least — a problem.
Back in early 2009, when the Obama presidency was still brand new, the president gave that NBC News interview in which he talked about his administration being a "one-term proposition" if the economy didn't snap back in time for his re-election.
Three years later, and the U.S. economy, while improved, still feels to too many Americans like it's still in recession. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, keeps reminding voters of Obama's "one-term proposition" comment every chance he gets.
In an interview scheduled to air Friday, Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep asked Axelrod how the Obama campaign intends to deal with what seems like the president's 2009 argument against his own re-election.
Axelrod indicated that the campaign's argument for a second term will be that the president's policies have helped improve the economy significantly since that 2009 interview — though the recovery is still a work in progress.
Axelrod: "I'm saying that the president said we need to turn the economy around and show a real improvement in three years, and I think we have shown a real improvement. I am not in any way suggesting we don't have more work to do, nor is he.
"But it took years to get into this mess, Steve, and it's going to take a while longer than anybody would want to get out of it.
"The question is, are we moving in the right direction and do we think going back to the same politics that created the crisis are somehow a wise way to go? I don't think the American people believe that."
In other words, the Obama campaign argument will be a variation of the "it could have been much worse" argument. That isn't necessarily the most promising case for a president seeking a second term — which Steve pointed out to Axelrod.
INSKEEP: "You're a pro. Isn't this a tough argument to make?"
Being the pro that he is, Axelrod side-stepped the question.
AXELROD: "Look, first of all let's set aside the politics for a second and understand this has been a tough time for our country ..."
Axelrod, who exited his job last year as a top White House aide to return to his native Chicago, left little doubt that Romney's track record as a top executive in the private-equity industry will be grist for the Obama campaign. Romney himself has made that experience central to his candidacy.
Asked if he would be recycling charges made by Newt Gingrich against Romney in the Republican primaries, Axelrod said:
"I don't like to think of myself as recycling anything that Newt Gingrich does."
As if to prove that point, Axelrod made an argument against Romney that Gingrich would be very unlikely to make, because it has growing income inequality at its heart.
Romney doesn't get it, Axelrod said: The problem with the economy is that in recent decades, increasing amounts of the national income have been swept into the bank and the investment accounts of those at the very top of the income distribution; meanwhile, he said, American workers, more productive than ever, got the short end.
Obama's strategist said he recently listened to Romney tell a woman at a televised campaign event that higher productivity equals higher income.
AXELROD: "In that one sentence, he misses the whole problem. Productivity hasn't equaled income for a long time. Income has been flat. Productivity has been rising precipitously. The gains have been captured by the people at the top, but most Americans haven't progressed. We need to build an economy in which most Americans capture those gains themselves, and we see a growing middle class, and our standard of living improves, and the future for our children have bright prospects. That is the economy we're fighting for."
He expects the general-election campaign to be nasty, Axelrod said, given the presence of superPACs. Voters would prefer to hear an uplifting message from a presidential candidate, he said.
AXELROD: "I can only tell you from our standpoint we believe that the president, or anybody who wants to be president, has to project a positive vision about where they want to take this country, has to give people a sense of that path forward. And if all you're doing is running down the other candidate and, also, running down America, I don't think you're going to be successful. And that's not the kind of candidate and that's not the kind of president Barack Obama has been or will be."
President Obama's senior campaign adviser lobbed a dig at Mitt Romney this week. David Axelrod tweeted a photo of the president with his dog Bo. It shows Mr. Obama sitting with the animal in the back of a plush-looking car. The caption: How loving owners transport their dogs, a perhaps not-so-subtle reference to the story of Romney putting his Irish setter in a crate tied to the roof of the family car years ago for a vacation road trip. With Republicans on his mind, David Axelrod talked with Steve Inskeep about the presidential campaign.
STEVE INSKEEP, BYLINE: Welcome to the program again.
DAVID AXELROD: Great to be here, Steve.
INSKEEP: I want to ask you: if Mitt Romney becomes the Republican nominee, are you likely(ph) to recycle negative campaign ads that Newt Gingrich has used in the last few weeks?
AXELROD: Well, I don't like to think of myself as recycling anything that Newt Gingrich has offered here in that way. But look, there are legitimate arguments that have been raised, legitimate questions that are obviously going to be part of this. Governor Romney's running on his record in business. Seems to be running away from his record as governor. That's the nature of presidential campaigns. Everything gets scrutinized and everything gets debated.
INSKEEP: Republicans, of course, have very much enjoyed noting that this week is the third anniversary of the president's remark on television regarding the economy: If I don't have this done in three years, then this is going to be a one-term proposition. How can your guy win if a majority of Americans continue to disapprove of his handling of the economy, which has been the case for quite some time?
AXELROD: Well, I think if you look at where we were when he made that comment and where we are today, it's a vastly different situation. Remember, when we came to office, we lost almost 800,000 jobs - the worst period of the recession. And if you look at what happened in the months after and the years after his policies took effect, we've had 22 months of positive job growth. I don't think there's anyone who can argue that we should go back to where we were before - anybody, I should say, other than all of these Republican candidates.
INSKEEP: Although, I mean the president's words, if I don't have this done in three years, then this is going to be a one-term proposition. You're saying he doesn't have it done after three years.
AXELROD: I'm saying that the president said that we need to turn the economy around and show real improvement in three years, and I think we have shown improvement. I'm not in any way suggesting that we don't have more work to do, nor is he.
INSKEEP: Well, what do you think has happened in states that the president, somewhat unexpectedly in some cases, won in 2008 where he seems to be in deep trouble now - Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia - all states that he won in 2008 and it would be hard to find an analyst who is certain that the president is going to win all three of those states again.
AXELROD: Well, look, I think certainty is a hard thing to come by in American politics.
INSKEEP: I think it'd be hard to find an analyst who thinks he's got a good shot.
AXELROD: We're closely divided. All of the polling I've seen lately from North Carolina, Virginia, shows the president holding his own and doing well. But believe me, Steve, I anticipate that every one of these states is going to be hotly contested, and we're not taking anything for granted at all.
INSKEEP: Indiana, which maybe was the most unexpected win for you in 2008, you expect to contest that seriously in 2012?
AXELROD: Well, I'm not ruling any states in or out. Obviously, Indiana was the first time that Hoosiers had voted for a Democratic candidate, I think, since 1964. So we recognize that that is a challenge and it's, you know, to replicate it would be a real feat. But at this juncture I'm not ruling anything in or out.
INSKEEP: I want to come back to the Florida primary, where you had two principal candidates, was a brutally negative campaign on both sides. It actually depressed voter turnout. Is it reasonable that that is going to be the shape or at least part of the shape of the fall campaign? You're going to have two candidates, it's going to be a brutal campaign, and a lot of people may be disgusted by it by the end.
AXELROD: I can only speak for out campaign, Steve. You know, I'm not very encouraged by what I see on the other side. Take Governor Romney, for example. He has his superPAC and they were the major players in all these early primary states. The superPAC is run by the guy who created the Willie Horton ad back in 1988. It's funded in part by a fellow who was the major funder behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Troops, so called, in 2004 that slimed John Kerry in an inexcusable way.
INSKEEP: Although we have to point out that Democratic groups have already been running negative ads and it's not even the general election yet. Surely it is going to be a pretty harsh campaign this fall.
AXELROD: Well, any closely contested race in American politics can become edgy. And I, you know, and I'm not Pollyannaish about that. I understand that. But at the end of the day, the candidate who's going to win is not the candidate who is the most negative; it's the candidate who has the most compelling vision for the kind of country and the kind of economy in which the future is brighter.
INSKEEP: Final thing - and I have to ask this because the president sang a few lines of an Al Green song the other day, Mitt Romney sang "America the Beautiful" at a campaign stop the other day. How would you compare President Obama and Governor Romney as singing talents?
AXELROD: Well, let me say this about Governor Romney's singing. He likes to sing "America the Beautiful" but he always omits one verse that I think is one of the more meaningful verses. It's not as well-known a verse but it's: America, America, God shed His grace on thee, 'til selfish gain no longer stains the banner of the free. I think he should not only sing that verse but contemplate the meaning of it.
INSKEEP: David Axelrod, presidential adviser. Thank you very much.
AXELROD: All right. Great to be with you, Steve. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

looks good to me.

now I can finally start my pump mag project
Can't wait, this will go perfect on my pump.........
Sexy. So Very sexy. I need one.
I worked on finalizing (and tested) a tool path today that was bugging me some, it worked before but the machining was not as clean as I wanted. I believe both grip designs (programming) are now fully tested and ready for production. All materials and tooling is in house and ready to go. Materials are cut and machined for fixtureing so I do have a small jump start there. Once we get going the wait will be short as all the time consuming work is now finished.
I sent the double frame out for a second opinion a few days ago, just waiting to hear back on it. I do not anticipate any problems, I just wanted a second opinion and wanted someone else to have a look see first hand in case I missed anything.
I believe I will machine all the grip panels over next few days while I'm waiting on the final word on the frame being tested. Plus I need to get a sale thread up (Hopefully tomorrow) to see if you guys are still interested in purchasing one. The pre order is just to help me get the initial numbers somewhat close between the two designs before I machine anything. Plus it will help me figure out what triggers I need to machine. Everyone is welcome to wait until the production is done to make a purchase but I cant guarantee the correct inventory to go around.
That's all for now…
I just came

Suspect also charged with criminal threats and possession of stolen property
A Derby Acres man free on bail from an oilfield theft arrest was arrested again this week for more serious charges, including threatening his girlfriend and their young child and even threatening to burn his house down with his child in it.
The investigation into that case linked Jones to more oilfield theft charges, and allegations that he stole a truck found burning several days earlier in a remote area near McKittrick.
William Jones III, 34 was arrested at his Derby Acres home Monday on charges of attempted arson, child endangerment and criminal threats as well as vehicle theft and possession of stolen property.
Sgt. Martin Downs said deputies were sent to a home on the 23000 block of Arnold Avenue in Derby Acres for a report of domestic violence, including information that the suspect was breaking the windows out of the house he shared with his girlfriend and child.
Sgt. Martian Downs said Jones had poured gasoline around the house and was threatening to set fire to it. The child was in the house at the time.
They contacted Jones and placed him under arrest. They also noticed numerous items in the yard, and, since Jones was already out on bail for a prior arrest for stealing items from the oilfields, detectives from the Rural Crimes Investigations Unit, who were in the area investigating a theft from Gene Watson Construction on Henry Road, investigated. They located items that were subsequently linked to a truck that had been stolen from KSI on March 1 and found burned in a remote area behind Melody Hills Ranch in the McKittrick area. Those items included an air compressor and tools.
Jones was charged with attempted arson, willful cruelty to a child, threatening with intent to terrorize, vandalism, and two counts of possession of stolen property.
Downs said gasoline was stolen in the theft at Gene Watson Construction but it is not known if Jones was involved in that theft.
Court records show Jones is on probation for a 2012 stolen property conviction and was also on bail for a Feb. 19 arrest for illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.

Perforce Software has announced Insights, an analytics solution designed to reveal valuable information on code and software development inside projects.
Built into Perforce products, Insights reveals information that isn't available in bug tracking or traditional work planning tools. The product enables development teams to measure their performance so they can tune and optimize their delivery pipelines.
Insights gathers metrics and presents them in ways that are meaningful to developers, team leads, and QA and release managers. For example, while a burn-down chart might show user stories only as closed, Insights assesses and displays the cost of code stability related to the closure.
NOTE: Insights is ready to consume data from other tools and/or publish it to third-party reporting tools through standard integration mechanisms — the browser-based user interface is customizable to individual customer needs.
What Developer Does What?
Insights works to provide an overview across a series of projects, deep-dive views of single projects, and "hot spot" reports such as most edited files or top contributors across the repository. A standalone server dashboard provides performance metrics for systems administrators monitoring the overarching Perforce versioning service.
"We worked side by side with our customers to design a tool that reveals the data they need to truly understand their development processes and release cycles," said Mark Warren, marketing director at Perforce.
Perforce insists that Insights Stability Index is a "pragmatic measure" of the stability of code in a project, analyzing the Raise and Fix rates for bugs, the amount of code that is changing in a project, and the amount of code that changes repeatedly. Tracking the index trend across a project's lifetime shows if stability goals will be met prior to release or if there is an unexpected destabilization in projects where stability is a priority.

Rangers - 000 000 300 - 3 7 0Buchholz (6.2-6-3-1-10, 114) had allowed only three baserunners through the first six innings, but was hit hard to start the seventh. Two doubles and a single in the span of nine pitches put two Texas runs on the board. The 10 strikeouts was a career high.
Red Sox - 000 000 000 - 0 6 2
Boston could do nothing with Wilson or the two Darrens (O'Day and Oliver). Only one Red Sox runner got to second base -- that was Victor Martinez (who had two singles and a walk) in the seventh inning.
Buchholz has pitched quite poorly in his two starts this year. He has a 1.80 ERA, because only two of his seven runs allowed have been earned. In 10 innings, he has given up 10 hits and walked six batters. (And yet his 1.600 WHIP is second best among the starters, which is pretty clear evidence of how shitty the starters have been.)
