Canadian Tire sees permanent shift in online shopping habits in wake of COVID-19 pandemic [Video]
The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the approach to e-commerce at Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd., as executives believe a surge in online spending portends longer-term changes to the retail business.
"We believe COVID-19 has permanently shifted the shopping behaviour of many," president and chief executive Greg Hicks said on a conference call with analysts to discuss the company's first-quarter earnings on Thursday. The company is now "going to pour gas on" an existing project to upgrade its e-commerce sites, he said.
Canadian Tire took an earnings hit owing to the effect of the pandemic on the global economy. On Thursday, the Toronto-based retailer reported a net loss attributable to shareholders of $13.3-million, or 22 cents a share, in the three months ended March 28, compared with a net profit attributable to shareholders of $69.7-million or $1.12 a share in the same period last year.
While the company saw a decrease in …

I thought doing an FAQ segment would be kind of fun. Just some questions I asked myself. Just to give you a little more of a background of who I am.
I'm sharing my journey from the bad ugly and darkness to now searching for purpose direction, and light. Now I'm on the road to success and I feel I see light at the end of the tunnel. I'm working on becoming a published author and as much as it scares me, we all have a unique story and something to share. It's time I stop hiding in the shadows and share my life with the world. The only way I know how to do that is to be open and share everything that I have kept bottled up in me over all these years. Well maybe not quite everything yet, I'll warm up to it haha.
If you could live anywhere, where and why?
I have never been to Hawaii but I feel like that would be up there for everyone or any exotic location along that nature. If I had to pick a location in the states, I would probably pick Lancaster or Detroit. I love Lancaster, its where I was born and raised. As cheesy as it sounds Lancaster is where I went through everything and it will always be home to me. Some people always make statements like, Lancaster is boring there is nothing to do. Its true its not New York or California. Those people that make those statement's, my guess is they didn't try hard enough to make the most of this area here why they can. Besides they also forgot we are all different, some like the city some like the country, it's funny how these little nuggets slip their mind and not to mention all the history Lancaster and PA have.
As far as Detroit, my parents and first two sisters were all born and raised there. Almost all of my mom's side still lives in Detroit. With traveling up there almost once a year my whole life. That's why it has become my second home.
If I could be any animal in the world, what and why?
I have a few I really like, but I would have to pick a Lion. Besides being beautiful and the king of the jungle, that definitely doesn't hurt haha. The way they are feared and just their presence is intimating and brings fear to others around them. The way they carry themselves, and that roar is so intimating and powering. They just have this presence to them that is so powering and intimating, but yet at the same times its respectable from everyone else.
Well, I'm more a brunette fan but for years it was always Jessica Alba. Now I would say, Jenna Dewan Tatum, or Blake Lively.
I have a few, when I was a kid it was always a Dodge Viper. As much as I love that car now I would probably pick.
For years and years growing up, it was always a professional basketball player. Play for Duke and under Coach k and then go on to the NBA. Now it's to have the career I'm pursuing and have been chasing after and working towards for the last few years. Become a published author, share my stories with the world and show them anything is possible. If you make a goal and have a dream, it is possible to accomplish them and even do more than what you had pictured and envisioned. I want to help people not make some mistakes I did, and help kids find purpose and direction and motivate them to keep going. We all have our battles and ups and downs, you just have to keep moving forward and keep battling.
I want to help people not make some mistakes I did, and help kids find purpose and direction and motivate them to keep going. We all have our battles and ups and downs, you just have to keep moving forward and keep battling.
That's easy MONEY, haha I'm just kidding. Sure I love money and always have been fascinated by money, I'll admit it I want to be rich, I won't apologize for that. Yes, with being rich and having money you feel a lot safer if situations come up and not to mention all the good you could do with it by donating and helping others and giving back.
For me its family and YOU, I'll explain. For my family being the only boy and having three sisters, going back to being young I thought it was my responsibility to take care of them with being the only boy. With the only one in my immediate family passing on my last name, I just took it as a pride thing. With all of these successful people ahead of me that started with nothing and did so many great things and taking care of their family and others. If they can do it, why can't I be successful and make a difference and follow their footsteps in helping others?
Again going back to us all having a unique story and something special to share. One of the main things that pushed me is the kids that I don't know that are growing up. I was lucky having both parents and a big family, besides my LD problem I had an easy life I won't deny it. There are kids with one parent or in foster care, growing up with no parents starving on the streets or in way worse situations than me. I want to help them find the light at the end of the tunnel that I'm finally starting to see myself. Help realize that no matter what situation you can turn your life around, and turn it from bad and ugly, too beautiful and a masterpiece.
I will be 32 and 37, crap that sounds horrible haha. It already feels weird saying I'm 27 now. As much as I'm a family man and can't wait to be married and have kids, it scares the CRAP out of me. I'm still trying to find myself and figure out what I'm doing with my life. By 32 I hope I will be at least married and have my own home. On the business side, by 32 I hope to have published all three of my books that are done and have the final book of my trilogy done. By 37 hopefully building my name and growing my following, and have a household name. People will know Peter A Harrower and I will be sharing my story with thousands of people. Helping people, mostly kids who were down and be the light to them and help them find the confidence that they need and help them figure out whats next. I don't want them to be sad, angry and depressed with that dark cloud over them for all of those years like what I had. I want to show them that you are just wasting time, and no good can come from it. I can't get that time back from pouting and feeling sorry for myself no good can come from it.

I want to show them that you are just wasting time, and no good can come from it. I can't get that time back from pouting and feeling sorry for myself and no good can come from it.
If I could change one thing in the world, and money would be no object what would I change? Example, finding the cure for cancer, hunger, clean water things along that?
With this question I don't think there is a right or wrong answer, we all have our own opinions to this. So as much as curing cancer and hunger and everything else would be amazing and huge no doubt about it. For me I feel like I would take a different road, I would give my resources to the schools and help the kids that were just like me. From their perspective, the outsiders, losers the kids that feel dumb and different and just trying to fit in. You might not agree with my answer, that's fine that's why it's my answer, not yours.
I know first hand growing up with this kind of mindset what it can do to a kid and the damage and aftermath that can happen after and be carrying that mindset for years. No kid should feel like this, it should be a safe environment for teachers trying to help them. Dealing with this disability is a big enough handicap, to begin with, let alone with all of the other side effects.
With that the way the world is heading anyway, these kids need our help. They need that push in the right direction and guidance and tuff love. I'm not saying do the work for them, that won't do any good for anyone. If people could understand Learning Disabilities more and Dyslexia, and realize what we're dealing with. Just imagine if we all get the right help and care?
When you take your last breath how do you want to be remembered?
When I take my last breath, I want to have a legacy and leave something behind and be a part of something that's bigger than Peter Harrower. I believe 100% that my story can make a difference in peoples lives and have an impact in their life. You know what, so can yours you just have to be willing to work for it? I want to be the best son, brother, uncle and friend, and if I'm lucky enough down the road husband and father also. Am I at the place now, no I don't think so. Then again that's just my opinion, I feel like I'm always going to have higher standards from my point of view that others have of me. Maybe I am the best I can from everyone else perspective, maybe I just need to adjust mine?
Am I at the place now, no I don't think so. Then again that's just my opinion, I feel like I'm always going to have higher standards from my point of view that others have of me. Maybe I am the best I can be from everyone else perspective, maybe I just need to adjust mine and fix my attitude?
Being a Christin I know there are more important things in life than money, success, and book sales things like that. I know God says we can't take anything with us when we die, I get it and this life is temporary. I realize that now and completely agree with that. In the meantime, till he needs me to come home, and when we do take our last breath. Why can't we try and make the most of our life here on earth why we still can? After all, we only get one life to live, shouldn't we stop wasting time and live it up and make the most of it?
I was born March 25, 1990, and a goal to me was doing my best to try and play my part and make the world a better place by the time I die. At 27 that could be anytime and anywhere. Shouldn't we be working hard now and helping others and doing the best we can now, why we still can and why we are still breathing?

Why Is the Cloud More Physically Secure than On-premise Computing?
Insights Cloud Computing Hosted Desktop
Last Modified: Tuesday, 16 February 2021
Published: Wednesday, 15 February 2017
The thing about data security…
Uncertainty about the security of the cloud has often been the deciding factor that has made some businesses retain an on-premise approach to provisioning technology to support operations.
High profile, security breaches involving large volumes of data, typically hackers stealing account and password and other personal information from online businesses, have created much doubt and distrust about the cloud, not to mention anxiety for those that have had their information stolen.
In the largest ever cyber-attack of its type on a UK bank, Tesco Bank was hit in a spectacular attack which resulted in 9000 customers being collectively relieved of £2.5 million, in November 2016.
In the TalkTalk data breach of October 2015, the personal and banking details of up to four million customers is believed to have been stolen, with some TalkTalk customers being targeted and defrauded by cyber criminals.
The Ashley Madison attack in July 2015 must rank as one of the most serious, with almost 40 million accounts compromised, including the theft of some very personal details and private communications with other website users.
However, such leaks ignore the other side of the IT security coin, that of physical security. All the firewalls and complex passwords that guard network access are useless if someone is able to copy server data onto a device in a data centre and walk off with it.
Data centres are more secure by design
If we consider the design of the physical security of a data centre, there are industry standards and legal requirements for companies in the data centre market relating to hosting and safeguarding sensitive or confidential data.
Correctly implemented and maintained in compliance with BSI ISO 27001, or international equivalents such as SSAE16 in the US, means data centre computing is far more secure than on-premise computing`.
To implement the regulatory requirements and guidelines effectively, the principle of layered security is used.
Perimeter Security
The role of the first layer is all about the three Ds: deter, detect and delay an attempt at unauthorised entry to the data centre site.
Facility Controls
The objective of the second layer of protection is to restrict access if a breach has occurred at the perimeter. Preventing access to buildings and indoor CCTV surveillance for identification and monitoring, as well as multiple access control measures are essential.
Computer Room Controls
The role of the third layer of physical security is to restrict access by using multiple forms of verification and access control measures. Turnstiles, biometric and video analytics may all be deployed the boundary to this layer because access is generally restricted to a small team.
Cabinet Controls
The fourth layer restricts access to the racks and cabinets which physically house the data centre servers and storage. Locked cabinets and audited access are designed to prevent authorised persons that have access to the physical layer from accessing servers and equipment for which they may not be authorised. This helps defend against the insider threat of authorised persons wilfully breaching security.
Secure cloud computing with HTL Support
The vast majority of business sites and offices where on-premise computing is conducted are unable to meet the physical security criteria set out above.
HTL Support data centre facilities conform to Tier 3, one below the fourth tier which is used by organisations for whom IT is deemed mission-critical, such as NASA. These are quite complex specifications, but essentially it means Tier 3 data centres are able to provide availability for 99.982% of the time or near-continuous operation.
Indeed, when considering migration to the cloud, it should be worth noting that the three attacks above and the vast majority of similar ones are more likely to result from poor digital IT security practice by the company itself, rather than a data centre service provider.

Exploring Safe and Secure Access to Microsoft Outlook
by Adelina Ryder October 24, 2022
What is Microsoft Outlook?
Top Authentication Methods for Safe and Secure Access
Biometric Authentication
SMS One-time Passcode
Tips for Preventing Outlook Attacks
Outlook is a desktop email and calendar application developed by Microsoft. It was first released in 1987 as part of the Windows 3.1 operating system. Outlook has since been expanded to include task and contact management, social networking features, and a blog subsystem.
Microsoft Outlook ships with several built-in security features that protect against unauthorized access to your email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes. In this article, we'll describe how to configure Outlook to protect your data using the built-in security features.
Outlook offers a variety of different types of accounts to accommodate the needs and preferences of different users. These accounts include personal, team, and shared accounts.
Source: bleepingcomputer.com
A personal account is the default account type in Outlook. This account is used to access Outlook's email, calendar, contacts, and tasks features. A personal account can be associated with one or more email addresses. Team Accounts
A team account allows multiple users to share access to a single Outlook instance. This type of account is ideal for small businesses that need to share a single Outlook instance among several employees. A team account can also be helpful for sharing resources such as calendars and task lists among co-workers. Shared Accounts
A shared account is similar to a team account in that it allows multiple users to share access to a single Outlook instance. However, shared accounts are less flexible than team accounts because they do not allow users to share individual contacts or calendars. Shared accounts are best suited for organizations that need to centrally manage contact information and calendar events among multiple employees.
A common denominator in cybersecurity and user experience is the authentication method used during the login process. You want an authentication method that is both secure and offers a seamless user experience.
Authentication can be described as a process of identifying a user that is requesting access to a particular service or application. Until now, a username and password were good enough to protect yourself however, since the pandemic and a rise in cyber attacks, one authentication method is not enough. Microsoft Outlook 2FA is a strong authentication method that can be paired with additional authentication.
Different businesses have different industry requirements in terms of a multi-factor authentication method. User experience and satisfaction plays a big part when it comes to choosing which MFA solution for your business. The authentication method you choose to pair with your MFA solution needs to offer convenience while having the most security available.
In order to have safe and secure access to your organization's private information, you want to make sure that you choose an authentication method that is tailored to your business's unique needs.
Two-factor authentication as we know is authentication beyond a username and password and can be categorized into three categories: knowledge, possession, and inherence.
Source: auth0.com
Biometric authentication relies on the physical traits of a user in order to validate their identity. Biometrics is one of the most secure options when it comes to authentication. It is easy to use and creates less friction between users and the login process.
The most common forms of biometric authentication is facial and fingerprint recognition. Biometric authentication is difficult if not impossible to spoof as a hacker would need the unique biological trait of the user.
The login in process is pretty straightforward as a user will not have to memorize PINs and passwords. It also is less time consuming and is a more seamless process than other authentication methods.
Source: investopedia.com
QR code authentication, while not popular, is still a secure method of authentication. It's typically used for user authentication and transaction validation. When a user tries to login to their account, they are prompted to scan the QR code on the screen with their authenticator application.
Without the authenticator application, a hacker will not be able to access the user's account. QR code authentication is a simple to use and easy to follow process. It is easily combined with other forms of authentication for increased security.
On the other hand, QR code authentication is not familiar to the general public as it is not commonly used which can result in poor user experience. Each user will also need a smartphone that has a correct QR code reader software capable of scanning the QR code which can be costly.
Source: iphoneincanada.com
SMS passcodes are the most common authentication method. Since many users already have their own smartphone, it is easy to register their phone number for authentication. This simple yet very effective authentication method is the process of sending an SMS message when the user prompts it, that contains a one time passcode to finalize the login process and authentication.
If there were to be suspicious activity to a user's account, only the user who has the device in their possession can verify the login validity by entering the one-time passcode. The general public is very familiar with this type of authentication making it super easy and affordable for organizations.
There have been issues with SMS authentication in the sense that there may be delays in sending the message which results in a possible expiration in the code byt the time the user receives it. There is also the concern that if a user loses their device then a hacker can access their personal information.
At the end of the day, the authentication method used to secure your organization needs to be safe, secure, and provide a seamless user experience.

One of the most important ways to protect yourself from Outlook attacks is to make sure your passwords are strong and unique. Always use different passwords for each account, and never use the same password for more than one account. You can also create a password manager to make it easier to remember all of your passwords.
Don't open unsolicited emails or attachments from unfamiliar sources
If you don't know who sent you an email, don't open it! Unsolicited email messages can contain malicious content that could harm your computer or even expose personal information about you or your company. If you need to receive emailed materials from outside sources, be sure to set up your email client so that it sends a warning before downloading any attachments.
Keep up-to-date on security updates for Outlook and other software packages used in your office
Outlook is constantly updated with new security features and bug fixes. Make sure you're installing the latest updates so that you're protected against potential threats. Also keep an eye out for security patches for other software in your office, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat, which may improve the overall security of your system.

Matt Owsley knows a thing or two about how students behave. That's because this Scottsdale, Arizona, principal has seen a thing or two as he pushes his rolling desk around the Black Mountain Elementary School campus.
"I kept hearing about these ideas—to be present—and what it does culturally for your campus and how it helps behavior," Owsley said. But a desk (and stool) on wheels, complete with his nameplate? Claiming temporary office space in the cafeteria, on the playground or in a dance class? Why not, thought Owsley. Why not try something new, fun and unexpected to be visible.
And visible he is. You might find Mr. Owsley working at his desk on the field during a game. Or seated under an overhang along the school's paved path. Or on the lawn, listening to a group of smiling children gathered around his desk. Or on the playground near the swings, with a desk phone to his ear (unplugged of course) while pretending to talk.
Simply standing in the hallway as groups of noisy students walk to the cafeteria did not cut it for him. Students are used to seeing Mr. Owsley around campus and so it takes more effort to get their attention, he said. "While sitting at the desk in the cafeteria the kids came up to me and were so confused and curious, they kept asking, 'What's he doing right now? What's going on? Why is your desk here?'"
"Why are you in my office?" Owsley replied.
Relating to students in a positive way, most often with smiles and high-fives, is paramount for Owsley. With his worldview and personality, "positive" does not translate as stodgy. Positive means building and maintaining relationships with students as the conduit for improving behavior and grades, even acting goofy at times. (Did we mention snowball fights, dressing up as an elf or a leprechaun?)
But back to the rolling desk, which addressed two big concerns for Owsley. One, he wanted to capture the imaginations of the students. And two, he had been taking his office home, via the desk work and emails on his phone, and spent nights and weekends checking emails "just in case" he was needed. It consumed his life.
His solution: remove emails from his phone, keep them on a laptop computer and do his work during the day, at his desk in the field. "I thought if I can make it really like my desk it would catch the eye of the kids' and be functional for me."
On the January day that he (literally) rolled out his new office on a sidewalk, students and teachers smiled, laughed and took pictures, but soon they recognized that this was not just a one-day stunt.
Although he still conducts classroom visits and observations, his understanding of school and student needs deepens by being outside and available, in the moment. Kids with discipline issues rarely act up in class, he said. The bully, the loner, the leader and the followers reveal themselves on the playground, while coming out of the cafeteria or in the halls outside classrooms. With just over 500 students in grades K-6, Owsley has a chance to know them all.
"When you look at what kids want, they want relationships and we're providing something they come to school for." He never misses a moment to notice and recognize a student and is convinced that positive relationships change behavior. On those days that he's out and about, he gets fewer disciplinary referrals.
Owsley maintains a second, stationary room with a door that closes for meetings, conferences and one-on-one conversations to communicate with parents, community members and students, who may require additional attention. From his experience as a teacher and now eight years as principal, he's seen that his positive approach carries over into the classroom.
And the reactions from his staff? Some probably have thoughts they don't share. Others are used to his antics, so much so that on the day he dressed as a leprechaun—in an outfit that had no pockets—people only commented that he was wearing a fanny pack. "Really?" he thought. "That's the only thing you pointed out?"
His advice for someone who wants to try this? Just go for it. Staff from his facilities department welded the desk and wheels to ensure that it would hold up on the hilly campus terrain. But Owsley suggests experimenting with any desk. Too many ideas get lost in the blur of trying to achieve perfection.
He admits that although he bought into The Breakthrough Coach methods after attending his first workshop in 2013, and again after a second stint, his addiction to habits such as controlling emails and a less-than-pristine office may require multiple sessions to change. But one message resonated loud and clear: The limited time one has during the day.
"Unfortunately, we are too willing to take our lives and split the difference between work and home. I did it for 20 years, beginning with grading papers as a teacher late at night and on weekends, and now trying to run a school from anywhere on the planet. We don't stop to be present in the places where we should be.
"I can now refocus my time wherever I am, to focus on the people who are with me, and know I will be productive wherever I am." Even while working, anywhere on campus, at a desk with wheels.

Years ago I used to tell clients- "Keep everything on your website, videos, pdf's, presentations, etc- We want them on your website!" Although we still want people coming to your website, we just can't ignore that people spend more time on other websites than yours! There are so many ways to get your content and contact information in front of prospects where they hang out most.
I'm here to tell you that over the years, I've evolved along with our constantly changing Internet. The goal now is to have your content found everywhere your prospects spend their time online. That can be many, many places.
Let's step back and see how Businesses want a prospect to find them.
People will search industry keyphrases to find what they need- like Las Vegas Commercial Real Estate, Las Vegas Auto Insurance or Stupid Bumper Stickers. They'll eventually narrow down the results to businesses they'd like to deal with. When they want to go back to one of the businesses they've picked, they're going to type your company name into a Google search bar as opposed the exact url into the url address bar.
Before they click your company (which should be result #1), what else do they see? Do they see some not so flattering newspaper articles about your company? Maybe where you've worked previously? How about the oh-so-common Ripoff Reports that all businesses just love? Your mission, if you choose to accept it is to take control of page 1 of Google when someone enters your company (or your personal name).
There's no question, you want to be on the first page for your targeted keywords and phrases, but just as important is when the searcher looks up your company, or your name.
Now, do the search. Results are differnt, huh? This is a better example of what someone who doesn't have your search habits will see.
If you've ever looked at your Analytics, you'll see that many people search for many different mind boggling things. Now with all the social sites, you have to incorporate into your thinking that many people spend their time on many different websites/social networks. From YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and the new Google Plus.
Start a Blog. Google changes their algorithm all the time – (500+ times in the last year), but the thing that will always help is good, original, industry relevant content. You can easily contribute good content with a simple Blog on your website. I always say, Social Media starts with your Blog. Are you a resource for your industry? No? Then be one. Be the go-to-person that people automatically think of when they think of your industry. Contrary to popular belief, knowledge isn't power. It is the use of knowledge that is power. Very easy- Post good content on your website on a consistent basis.
Get Social. There's big controversy about Google having/not having access to Facebook and Twitter's data, but one thing is for sure, Social Profiles show in Search. Get them. Claim your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and especially Google+ accounts. Track down profiles on Social Media sites that list your business- like Avvo which is for lawyers, doctors and dentists. These websites will find your business, have it listed and show it as unclaimed. Claim it and fill out the profile. At least you'll have a bit of control over it.
I always bring up a Realtor friend Dru Bloomfield.I know Dru through other connections and now keep in touch on Social Media. Dru loves taking pictures and uploading them to Flickr, which is a social media photo repository website. She had someone contact her about buying a home on a golf course in Arizona. She said, "I just uploaded pictures of that golf course to Flickr". The prospect then said, "I know… how do you think I found you?" Fill out your profiles, include your website.
We all know people that would rather watch a quick video on a subject as opposed to reading about it. Get a YouTube video channel and ask yourself: "What would I do if I had a 24/7 cable channel?" YouTube is now serving an insane 60 hours of video uploaded per minute and 4 billion video views a day. It's the second largest search engine (behind Google, the company who owns both). Attache a video camera and mic to your computer and record away. The videos don't have to look professionally produced. It'll actually be better if they're informal as people can relate better.
Google realizes that people have different channels where they like to get their information. That's why they use them in their search results. Make use of the profiles on these social media websites and link them up to your website. So when people find them on page 1 when searching for you… you'll have your best foot forward.
What online channels do you like using for your business?

The Coca-Cola sign on the east wall of Young Brothers Pharmacy in downtown Cartersville has been authenticated by the Coca-Cola Company as the first outdoor painted-wall advertisement for Coca-Cola. It dates back to 1894, when an industrious Coca-Cola syrup salesmen named James Couden put down his order pad and picked up a paintbrush to create the first-of-its-kind sign. This sign received the 1990 Georgia Trust Award for Preservation – 25 layers of paint were removed during the restoration to reveal the original sign. Open Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-6:30 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Sunday 1:30-3:00 p.m.
Tip: Bring your camera for an excellent souvenir photograph each morning as the sun illuminates the sign from the east.

Sonu Sood joins PM Modi's Swachh Bharat initiative!
loksJuly 16, 2016
Cleanliness, like charity, begins at home, and Sonu Sood strongly advocates that!
The fitness enthusiast, who has always been at the forefront of noble causes and has contributed to the society in his own ways, has decided to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat initiative thereby creating public awareness about hygiene.
Recently, while Sonu was on his way back to home from international airport, he was aghast to see waste and garbage loitering around the streets, especially during the monsoon season. That's when the fitness enthusiast thought of creating awareness about hygiene and clean environment.
Doing so, the handsome hunk will be working closely with the people residing in his society and also his friends to clean his building premises. The actor will also be hiring a team of people who will help him to create a healthy environment.
Sonu says, "Personal hygiene is important, as is staying mentally stimulated, but one thing we don't often think about is the relationship between our health and keeping a clean environment. A good environment is essential for our health and wellbeing."
"A major factor for people being happy is the quality of life they live. Many factors contribute to a quality life and cleanliness and hygiene is one of those," Sonu adds.

Beyond Trump's Dismal Approval Rating, Polls Show Some Troubling Republican Trends
GOP Rep Submits Bill To Require Birth Certificates From Prez Candidates
By Eric Kleefeld
March 13, 2009 8:36 p.m.
Rep. Bill Posey, a freshman Republican from Florida, is now putting forward a bill that should be good news for a particular demographic that cares a whole lot about their issue: Those folks out there who insist that President Obama hasn't offered a birth certificate to prove he's a natural-born U.S. citizen.
CNN reports that Posey has submitted a bill to require all presidential candidates to submit a birth certificate — which Posey says is needed in order to remove this issue as a reason to question any president's legitimacy.
"Opponents of President Bush used the 2000 election results and the court decisions to question the legitimacy of President Bush to serve as President," Posey said in a statement. "Opponents of President Obama are raising the birth certificate issue as a means of questioning his eligibility to serve as president. Neither of these situations are healthy for our Republic."
Posey's spokesperson told CNN that Posey takes President Obama's word for it that he's a citizen: "This was not meant as an insult to the president. It is simply meant as a way to clarify future election laws and to dispel the issue so we can move on with doing business for the country."
A quick check of the Library of Congress' Thomas site shows the bill does not have any cosponsors yet. But Posey only introduced it on Thursday, so he's just getting started.

Many travellers are searching for Japan Shopping Mall In Bangkok,Bangkok can well be described as a city of humble beginnings. In fact around 200 years ago, it was simply a small trading center and port community. Despite the fact that the city had grown rapidly and become renowned for being a modern and vibrant place, it has impressively retained its splendid and enchanting glory. That's why a visit to Bangkok should be on everyone's bucket list. You can find Japan Shopping Mall In Bangkok travel information.
Also called Wat Chetuphon, this can be a temple which was designed for King Rama in Bangkok countless yrs ago. It really is regarded as a location where people can receive feelings, and was considered among the first pharmacies in most of Bangkok. It is additionally the positioning of the first university that was started from a descendent of King Rama, an area where you could now get not simply traditional medicine but a foot massage at highly affordable prices. It can be known mostly to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha that is a Buddha that is resting perched on his arm. It is enormous, roughly 15 m high by 45 m long, and will just be viewed in sections simply because of its size. There are lots of beautiful gemstones that have been in lead from the soles in the feet, a total number of 108 stones total. It is a number associated with procession, the wobble in the earth, an issue that is created into most of the temples throughout Thailand.
This is an absolutely beautiful structure which includes a large amount of history, and is also the home of what exactly is called Wat Phra Kaeo. It is here that this emerald or jade Buddha are available, in this particular palace internal 1782, the residence of the royalty that have been in charge of the continent at that time. This palace includes a couple of hours of not simply the palace itself but also the Wat Phra Kaew Tour. Our recommendation is that you start out early in the morning to take full advantage of everything that you will be able to see, or simply just perform a half day sightseeing tour to view either one.
You will see an attractive representation in the ancient battles that employed to occur between Burma and Siam. This is actually a combination of Royal Palace and Chapel, and if you are able to climb to the very top just before sunset, you will observe direct sunlight setting into the Chao Praya River, a lovely sight to behold.
Before exactly what is called Wat Suthat is really what the locals call the giant swing. It is a 27 m high structure, use for religious ceremonies, as well as its purpose is to pass through a ritual that requires teams of three people seeing the top and walking across for the narrow board. There have been a tremendous number of fatal accidents during the 1930s which cause them to not use this being a ritual again. However, this is a beautiful sight to find out, especially facing Wat Suthat.
This is literally something out of the movies, a true floating market that may be about one hour away from Bangkok. It can be considered by some to be the Venice of your East, just like the way the people in that element of Italy do it many things in the water. Additionally it is a tourist trap due to how people are planning to check this out market which is completely floating on boats manned by people selling their goods. However, once you do go, you may be treated to many of the most delicious food that is absolutely fresh, served in a authentic way.
When you have time, it is possible to pay a visit to Lumpini Park which is a literal oasis in the middle of the architecture and buildings of Bangkok. There are many lawns that one could hang out at, Chinese pagodas, and there is a small lake that one could go on a boat on. Is ideal for relaxing for the reason that park is indeed tranquil, despite all the skyscrapers which are surrounding it in most directions. The park is a place where antigovernment protests have occurred, so just be sure that if you decide to go there, it's just people hanging out to rest.


Canva was proud to host Frontend Engineering Sydney for the third time earlier this month. Kyle Simpson, open web evangelist and author of "You Don't Know JS", Cathy Lill of Data61 and Canva's own Damon Oehlman spoke about different aspects of functional programming for frontend development.
Kyle began his talk with the "world's quickest functional programming primer", covering pure functions, higher order functions and closure, partial application and currying, composition and iterations in five slides. He then talked about two Functional libraries he has written, FPO and fasy.
FPO (pronounced eff-poh) stands for "functional programming in object style", and allows you to name arguments instead of juggling argument order. Fasy (pronounced like "Tracy") allows you to apply functional programming concepts like map and reduce to asynchronous programming. Both were initially written as teaching tools, but Kyle and many others have since used them in production code.
Kyle Simpson came to us courtesy of the Web Directions Summit conference, and his latest book, "Functional-Light JS" went on sale this month and is also available on github.
Picture yourself drinking from a bubbler - you turn the bubbler on, and you drink from it as fast as the water comes out. That's like getting data from a traditional node stream. Pull streams are more like drinking from a straw. You can determine the pace that you consume the data at.
Damon took us through the basic structure of pull streams and the top-level logic of a couple of examples he wrote, including a demo that pulls images from Flickr.
Many thanks to everyone who attended! Keep an eye on @canvatech on Twitter for details of the next Frontend Engineering Sydney event, and remember to tag #frontendsyd.
Fantastic talk last nite by @DamonOehlman at the @CanvaTech meetup, about "pull streams". These seem very similar to observables, need to research more to understand similarities/differences.

Blast More Powerful Than Tunguska May Have Devastated Ancient City
By Jessica Hall on September 22, 2021 at 7:45 am
(Image: Ted E. Bunch et al/Nature)People have been in the valley of the Jordan River for a long, long time. Long enough, in fact, that we're aware of a strange gap in the physical record of human history there, beginning with the mass abandonment of almost every city, village, and settlement in the area, around 3,600 years ago. When the entire population of a twenty-mile-wide metropolitan center just vanishes all of a sudden, there has to be some cause. Now, as the culmination of fifteen years of work, an interdisciplinary team of experts has presented an exhaustive catalog of evidence for a mammoth cosmic airburst over the plains of Jordan, not far from the northern shore of the Dead Sea.
The explosion would have been bigger than the Tunguska event, on the order of a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima. It may also explain that strange lacuna in Near Eastern history, called the Late Bronze Age Gap. The study authors also believe it to be physical evidence of a cataclysm that became the source for the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
For perhaps thousands of years, there had stood a city named Tall el-Hamaam, on the plains just northeast of the Dead Sea. "Tall" is an Arabic word for "hill," in the sense of "a city on a hill." It was more than just a city; it was the fortified, urban core of a city-state that arose nearly seven thousand years ago and flourished nonstop for three millennia straight. It was larger than Jerusalem or Jericho, and it was a metropolis in the classical sense. It had a four-story palace, a temple, a ring road (we call these beltways when we build them now), and thirty-meter-thick city walls with defense towers. Outside the city's fortifications, it had urban sprawl. But everyone left the region, all at once, after Tall el-Hamaam was destroyed in ~1650 BCE. The mass abandonment included Jericho, which was destroyed and burned at about the same time. Normally, people rebuilt after their cities are razed, but this time, they packed up and left for good.
(Image: Ted E. Bunch et al/Nature)
The destruction at Tall el-Hamaam (TeH on the map above) was complete and terrible. Buildings were sheared off at ground level, their mud bricks blasted into gravel or melted into bubbling foam. Globs of bubbling molten salts melted into the surface of the paving bricks. Melted titanium and iridium splattered into the pottery and roof tiles, whose outer surfaces bubbled like boiling caramel, then vitrified into greenish soda-lime glass. Do you know how hot it has to be to make clay foam and bubble like spaghetti boiling over? Hotter than it takes to fire the clay. Hotter even than it takes to wreck stoneware by baking it into melted slag. Material has to be nearly a free-flowing liquid to make bubble structures like these.
Scanning electron micrograph of shocked quartz. (Image: Ted E. Bunch et al/Nature)
No stone was left standing upon another, save for a few courses of masonry in the impact shadow, northeast of Tall el-Hamaam's namesake central hill. Most of the debris, in fact, lies along the same axis, pointing from southwest to northeast. Even the pottery shards are blown into lines that all point in one direction. It has taken fifteen years of excavation and detail work down to the level of electron microscopes, but ultimately, the authors conclude that it was caused by an airburst explosion, caused by an impactor that broke up at an altitude of just a few kilometers above the plains of Jordan, southwest of Tall el-Hamaam. To create the melting conditions seen at the site, the authors argue, it would have required an apocalyptic thermal blast that lasted nearly thirty seconds, followed by a pressure wave sufficient to produce the shock quartz embedded in the minute glass droplets permeating the debris. Wood and vegetation were first carbonized, then blasted into fragments of diamond. The splatters and globs of molten metal are a close match to the composition of a chondritic meteorite, or perhaps a comet. Taken together, they suggest that the impactor was an aggregation of ice and metal-rich rock, perhaps sixty meters in length.
When we found the remains of reindeer and shepherds killed by the Tunguska event, they were terribly burned, but not literally blown to centimeter-sized pieces. That's why the authors specifically think this explosion was bigger than Tunguska. The human toll was unimaginable. It is estimated that 90 percent of the victims here were simply destroyed beyond recognition. There were naked, charred bones splattered with melted tin, silver, and glass. There are fragments of pulverized bone, too many to count and too small to identify, buried in among the shattered bricks and charcoal debris. Farther out, some skeletons were buried in various states of disarticulation and dismemberment. One skeleton was found buried in a crouching position with hands over its face, like some skeletons at Pompeii.
These scholars position the destruction of TeH as a source of the Biblical story of Sodom because the story is awfully specific. The Bible paints a bleak picture of annihilation by way of fire and brimstone, a burning stone hurled from the heavens by an angry god that turned all life to salt and ruin, sparing not even a single blade of grass.
The specific callout of salt, in conjunction with a terrible burning rock flung from the sky at a city that no longer existed when the Bible was written, is the unifying element here. There are globs of molten salt flung around and a thick layer of salt-laden ash sometimes more than half salt by weight blanketing the ruins at TeH, but the soil above and below is less than 1% salt. An explosion on the order of Tunguska would literally have salted the earth with hypersaline water and caustic sediment dredged out of the Dead Sea.
This is also in line with where Genesis mentions the destroyed vegetation. A blast of this magnitude would have totally carbonized any plant matter. Furthermore, salting the earth at the levels found in the Tall el-Hamaam blast site would have prevented any freshwater plant from germinating there for centuries thereafter, until the salinity was finally leached away. Based on the archaeological record, humans did not return to this area for between 300-700 years.
Archaeologists are always very careful when linking real-world places they discover to any form of spiritual or cultural knowledge passed down to us over thousands of years. With that said, we also know that stories passed down through oral traditions predating the written word can maintain narrative integrity over hundreds, possibly even thousands of years. The geological and archaeological records of Tall el-Hamaam tell a story of cataclysmic devastation that may have shaped the history of the Middle East for centuries. It left a scar in human history and literally rubbed salt in the wound.
Note: This study presented an absolute barrage of data. It's like a bullet-hell game but with sixty pages of high-density archaeology. If you're interested in the fine detail, of which there is much, do check out the free and open-access paper, published in Nature Scientific Reports.

'American Pie' singer McLean takes plea in assault case
Associated Press / 11:18 PM July 22, 2016
This Monday, Jan. 18, 2016 file booking photo provided by the Knox County Jail shows Don McLean. "American Pie" singer McLean admitted to domestic violence assault against his estranged wife, and will avoid jail time. AP
CAMDEN, Maine— "American Pie" singer Don McLean has admitted to domestic violence assault against his estranged wife, and will avoid jail time.
The singer-songwriter pleaded guilty in court Thursday to the charge and related counts. His lawyer says the punishment will be a $3,000 fine if he stays out of trouble for a year.
McLean, of Camden, Maine, was arrested in January and initially pleaded not guilty.
A lawyer for Patrisha McLean said in March that his client was filing for divorce and that the legal papers cited "adultery, cruel and abusive treatment, and irreconcilable differences." The two had been married 30 years.
Don McLean's divorce lawyer denied those characterizations on McLean's behalf at the time.

We are trademark lawyers. A good portion of the time when clients come to us, they have already picked out a name for their business. They've spent a ton of time coming up with a name for their new business or product. They fall in love with one particular name. They go to Legal Zoom or wherever and form an LLC with the name. They buy the domain name, fire up social media accounts, buy business cards, and tell everyone the name of their business. Then they come to us to get a trademark.
The problem is that most of the time, those names are really bad from a trademark protection perspective. Best case scenario, a bad trademark is just not protectable. Worst case scenario, a bad trademark can get you sued. We frequently need to tell people that they need to change the name, which is frustrating to say the least.
There are tons of articles about picking a business name and getting a trademark. In fact, we've blogged about trademark strategy for years now. These articles just aren't long enough to cover the trademark process from start to finish, with the detail you need as small business owner to craft a solid trademark strategy.
but don't want to screw up their trademark.
The goal here is to keep you from screwing up your trademark by giving you a one-stop-shop to find the knowledge you need to make smart business decisions about your trademark strategy. It's free and available online so you can read it whenever and wherever you want. It's filled with tips on how to save money.

Dear Advertising: Young Talent our Most Precious Resource?
Young Talent our Most Precious Resource?
In the last couple of months I have been witness to too many examples of how Agencies, and specifically our leaders, are failing to prepare, mentor and nurture rising stars in our industry. Perhaps my perspective is jaded, but it seems to me that there is a serious lack of training and support available to young creative and account people in our industry, and with shrinking budgets, and emphasis on short term profitability, I don't see this trend improving any time soon. Now don't get me wrong, I think there are plenty of young, curious and talented advertising professionals out there, who on their own time are reading blogs, taking courses, and generally expanding their knowledge but it certainly isn't formally encouraged (or rewarded) by many agencies.
At the very least, I think we owe it to our industry to actually help our account people learn how to approach writing a brief – what makes an insight an insight? What makes a brief powerful, and how can is it used to inspire a creative team? Basic stuff, but we can't expect our account coordinators and AE's to learn through osmosis. Someone might want to walk them through this important part of their future role. For the creative folks – they need to take an active role in selling the work, and please, we need to help them figure this out sooner rather than later. If we continue to have account people writing bland, uninspiring briefs, and creative people who are unable to articulate their ideas and relate them to an overall strategy, then surely we are all doomed.
We are a creative industry, and we thrive on big ideas that challenge the status quo, but I think it is time we bring a little bit more rigor into our training – after all, how are we supposed to improve the way we approach our jobs, if we never learn the fundamentals?

Great post. Sadly, the industry has been paying lip service to training and then whining about 'lack of talent coming into the industry', 'flight of talent', 'lack of respect from clients' etc.

James "Doc" Lynn
Home → All → James "Doc" Lynn
Doc graduated from Wallace High School in 1950 where he lettered in football and basketball. It was in Wallace the he developed his competitive, caring, hard working nature. He attended the University of Idaho then off to St. Louis to begin his master's degree in dentistry graduating from the University of Washington in 1959. After serving as a Captain in the United States Army and working as an Army dentist he arrived back in Wallace to start his dental practice. Doc devoted most of his time to the youth of his city.
Doc coached 8 years in Little League then 8 years in Babe Ruth Baseball serving as president of the baseball league for 8 years. He served as president of the Idaho Ski Club at Lookout Pass and president of the Mighty Mite Racing Team for 12 years. He was president of the Wallace Youth Association for 30 years and a Cub Scout leader. Doc was president of the Wallace High PTA, and Wallace Gyro Club. Of all the hats he wore he was the most proud of the 30 years he spent as the youth activities leader at the Wallace Elks Lodge where he organized and directed the Hoop Shoot, Drug Awareness, Teen of the Month, Youth Scholarships, and Drug Stompers Club for local 6th and 7th graders In 1990 Jim started the Hall of Fame for Wallace High School.
Jim was awarded Honorable Lifetime Membership to the Idaho State Elks Club where he was also appointed Grand Tiler. . While in Wallace he served as Exalted Ruler twice, and was a trustee. He was state president and a state trustee. Doc served on many state and national lodge committees. Doc served on the Elks Rehabilitation Hospital Board and was a Chain of Hospital Board Trustee for two years.
In 2000 Doc was asked by Carl Kiilsgaard to take over the reins for the Idaho Athletic Hall of Fame and the North Idaho Sports Banquet. His hard work and dedication has transformed the annual sports banquet into the largest such banquet in Idaho.
These just scratch the surface of the contributions Jim has made over the years. His civic endeavors are unsurpassed. A remarkable part of his legacy is that through all the work he had fun. He changed people; he helped a community and he loved life. Along the way he always had the support of his now deceased wife, Marietta and his four children, John-Laurie-Amy and Ken. He enjoys his grandchildren Jimmy, Christina, Aliah, Danny, Kimberly, Aaron, Mariah, and Jake and attends all their many events. Jim currently lives in Hayden with his new bride Marion.
As the saying goes "You can take the boy out of Wallace, but you can't take Wallace out of the boy"…this is so true for Jim, who continues to do all he can to support the Wallace Elks and other Valley endeavors.
So this is Doc's bio, but it really doesn't capture the true essence of Jim "Doc" Lynn—his motto was and still is, "How can I help? What do you need?" Not for praise like this award, but because that's just who he is; one of the good guys, a true Wallace and Idaho hero.

A dinuclear complex [Dy(m-MBA)3phen]2-H2O was prepared by the reaction of DyCl3-6H2O, m-methylbenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline in a 1:3:1 molar ratio, where m-MBA = m-methylbenzoate and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline. The complex was structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, UV and IR spectroscopy, molar conductance and TG-DTG techniques. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc with a =15.962(16), b = 18.505(18), c = 22.547(2) Ǻ; a = 90 °, β = 97.9820(10) °, y = 90°; z = 4. The unit cell contains a dinuclear molecule of the title compound. Each Dy(III) ion is eight-coordinated to one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule, one bidentate carboxylate group and four bridging carboxylate groups. The carboxylate groups are bonded to the dysprosium ions in two modes: chelating bidentate and bridging bidentate. The thermal decomposition process of [Dy(m-MBA)3phen]2-H2O has been followed by thermal analysis.

The Holy Martyrs Theopemptus and Theonas suffered in Nicomedia in the year 303. St Theopemptus was bishop in Nicomedia in the time of Diocletian. Speaking out against idolatry, he defended the faith in Christ. Because of this, he became one of the first victims of the Diocletian persecution.
The saint refused to obey the emperor's order to worship an idol of Apollo. St Theopemptus was thrown into a red-hot furnace, but by the power of God he remained alive. The emperor came to the furnace by night with a detachment of soldiers, and there he saw the saint alive and praying to God. Ascribing the miracle to magic, Diocletian thought to exhaust St Theopemptus by depriving him of food and drink for twenty-two days, but the martyr was preserved by the will of God.
The emperor brought the famous sorcerer Theonas to overcome Bishop Theopemptus' supposed magical power. Theonas prepared a poison for St Theopemptus, put it into a little cake, and offered it to him to eat. The poison did no harm at all to St Theopemptus. Then Theonas tried an even stronger poison on the martyr. Seeing that St Theopemptus remained unharmed, he came to believe in Christ. They threw him into prison together with the holy bishop, who taught and baptized him, giving him the name Synesios (which means "full of understanding").
At dawn Diocletian summoned St Theopemptus, and again tried to turn him to pagan impiety. Seeing that the bishop remained firm in his faith, he subjected him to many grievous tortures, after which the saint was beheaded. The holy martyr Theonas refused to offer sacrifice to idols, so he was buried alive in a deep ditch. This occurred at Nicomedia in the year 303.
Your holy martyr Theopemptus, O Lord,Through his sufferings has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God.For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries,And shattered the powerless boldness of demons.Through his intercessions, save our souls!

He is also (since 1999) Head and Professor of the Department of Social Anthropology in the Far-Eastern National Technical University. Nikolay Kradin's major contributions belong to three fields: Among other things Kradin has demonstrated that an alternative to the state seems to be represented by the supercomplex chiefdoms created by some nomads of Eurasia the number of the structural levels within such chiefdoms appear to be equal, or even to exceed those within the average state, but they have an entirely different type of political organization and political leadership; such type of political entities do not appear to have been ever created by the agriculturists. Kradin has written over 8 books and 300 articles dealing with his research interests. These include Nomadic Societies (1992 in Russian), The Hsiung-nu Empire (1966, 2001, 2002 in Russian), Political Anthropology (2001, 2004 in Russian), Chinggis Khan Empire (in co-authorship with T.Skrynnikova) 2006 in Russian), Nomads of Eurasia (2007 in Russian). ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=15432982 ...

Governor Deluxe makes no apologies
http://www.jeffjacoby.com/292/governor-deluxe-makes-no-apologies
NOTE: This column is available through the New York Times Syndicate. For permission to reprint it, please contact [email protected] or call 800-535-4425.
SOME PEOPLE care nothing for luxury, money, or the trappings of power. Others crave them. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, it is becoming clear, falls squarely in the second category.
Patrick's inaugural festivities in January were the most lavish in Bay State history, a four-day, $1.3 million affair. Soon after taking office, he began using State Police helicopters -- which are intended for searches and safety-related missions -- as a personal shuttle service. Closer to earth, he replaced the staid Crown Victoria in which former governor Mitt Romney had been driven with something more flashy: a $46,000 Cadillac DTS, the largest luxury sedan in the General Motors fleet.
He broke with his Republican predecessor in another way, becoming the first governor since Michael Dukakis to put a "chief of staff" for his spouse on the public payroll. Amy Gorin, who co-chaired Patrick's campaign finance committee, will be paid $72,000 a year to schedule interviews and public appearances for Diane Patrick, a partner at one of Boston's largest law firms.
Now, it does not exactly come as news that Patrick likes the finer things in life. He and his wife own a home in Milton's posh Columbine neighborhood. Estimated value: $1.8 million. They are building a 24-room mansion on 77 acres they own in the Berkshires. As Patrick acknowledged during the campaign, he and his family have "been very blessed."
But those blessings don't seem to have dispelled a certain grasping, gotta-get-mine streak in Patrick's approach to perks and privilege. No one faults him for not forgoing the salary that comes with his office, as Romney and former lieutenant governor Kerry Healey did. But did he really have to help himself to $200,000 from his campaign account -- partial repayment of a loan Patrick made to his campaign committee -- before other creditors were repaid? (Campaign manager John Walsh claims the payment was made in error.) With the state budget a billion dollars short and Patrick himself calling for higher taxes , was this really the right time for pricey helicopter jaunts and a sumptuous new limousine?
To his credit, yesterday Patrick agreed to reimburse the state for the added expense of the car, citing the "tough choices" cash-strapped agencies are being asked to make. Still, should it really have taken so long?
"What Kerry Healey doesn't understand is that leaders set the tone," Patrick scolded during the campaign. "Organizations take their lead from the person at the top." For one moment, the person at the top of the current administration seemed interested in setting a tone of accessibility and inclusiveness. Moving the inaugural ceremony outdoors sent a nice populist message. So did the symbolism of removing the red velvet rope from the entrance to the governor's office and re opening to tourists an elevator that had previously been reserved for Romney.
"This is a conscious decision to have an administration that is open, inclusive, and cooperative," said Patrick's press secretary. Alas, the rope and the elevator were as far as the new openness went.
In fairness, Patrick is hardly the first politician with a taste for the good life. Kevin White's "Mayor Deluxe" reputation didn't prevent him from winning four terms as Boston's chief executive; it will take more than chopper rides and a Cadillac to derail Deval.
But his tone! That brittle, self-righteous petulance with which Patrick has dismissed all questions about his gold-plated governing style is not the best way to win public approval. "When I consider the balance and the range of decisions I have to make," he sniffed when asked about the opulent new car, "this is not one I would spend too much time on."
Worse was Patrick's scornful answer to questions about the helicopter trips, one of which was to the funeral of a soldier from Cape Cod. "You should call that family from Hyannis that lost their son in Iraq and see if they have a problem with me using the helicopter," Patrick snapped, apparently seeing nothing wrong with exploiting the grief of a fallen soldier's family for his own political needs. And why didn't he just drive to the Cape? "I have a really crowded calendar and a very ambitious agenda so I'm going to use every resource available."
That's pretty much the excuse Lieutenant Governor Jane Swift used in 2000 -- "It's not always easy and convenient for me to just pop in and out of errands like it is for everyone else." Voters didn't like that attitude when it came from Lady Jane. They're not likely to appreciate it much more if they keep hearing it from Cadillac Deval.
(Correction: Jeff Jacoby's column yesterday misstated the number of rooms in Governor Deval Patrick's vacation home in the Berkshires. The house and a connected carriage house will have 13 rooms and seven bathrooms.)
