Letters to The Editor: Church doesn't dictate to all; 'bridge to nowhere' fraught with danger; and more

Catholic Church doesn't dictate to all

This is in response to a recent letter to the editor regarding the Catholic Church.

Contrary to the letter, the church does not infringe on anyone's rights. The rules against contraception, "morning after" pills, abortion, and stem cells taken from aborted babies are the rules for Catholics to follow (although millions of liberal Catholics do not).

These and much else are the dogma of the church, and have been for centuries. This is called religion. We assume religion is well-covered under the Constitution, but if President Obama doesn't agree with that, maybe the thing to do is fire all non-Catholics from our hospitals, etc. and just hire Catholics.

I'm sure there would be many unhappy non-Catholics in this country at that point.

To conclude, how do the letter writers' reason that our religion is infringing on their rights, when they belong to a completely different one (or none at all)?

City teachers make most of 'staycation'

Springfield Public School students and teachers rose to the occasion last week when they showed up for school as usual – even though it was supposed to be February vacation.

Although there was no rise in absences by teachers or students, it was not business as usual in many of the schools. Many principals "shook things up" in their building with fun, week-long activities. Washington Elementary School, for example, staged a "staycation" complete with Mardi Gras, Cruise Day and of course, a most popular Hawaiian theme day.

Black History Month was highlighted during the week at Warner School, and culminated with a performance Springfield musician Jo Sallins; Dorman Elementary Students highlighted the joy of eating with everything from Cool Cookie Day to Fruitty Friday.

Imaginations soared throughout the district as many principals seized the occasion to celebrate "School Spirit Week" with a different theme every day. To name just a few, there was Ells School T-shirt day, Sports Day at Harris School, Crazy Hair Day, Pajama Bottom Day and much more!

'Bridge to nowhere' fraught with danger

I had to shake my head when I read the front page story about the lack of a handicap exit ramp on the West Springfield end of the Memorial Bridge sidewalk. (Feb. 22).

It seems officials deemed it too dangerous. Therefore it has become the bridge to nowhere for wheelchair users. Apparently the alternative, which is to ride your wheelchair in the road with the fast moving traffic, is a safer option.

Krugman unmasks purpose of book

Columnist Paul Krugman's recent critical assessment of Charles Murray's book, "Coming Apart" is a well-reasoned and devastating expose of the contemporary conservative sociological imagination.

Far from relying on "many unrelated statistics," as one critic has claimed, Krugman simply turns Murray's own – statistically rooted, deeply simplistic – argument against itself.

Murray's various pronouncements on the causal link between alleged moral declension and social inequality thus turn into nothing more than an etiolated version of an old, reactionary, fig leaf, long advanced to justify ruling class prerogatives in the face of challenges from below.

It is precisely in times like these that the received wisdom regarding the fundamental nature of our society is questioned by those who bear its heaviest burden: Those of us (of all creeds and colors) who are forced to pay the bill for a crisis that we certainly did not invite upon ourselves through our dissolute living and immoral ways.

Murray and his ilk merely provide a useful patina of intellectual respectability to the savage inequalities of modern American life, somberly declaring that this is (sadly) the best of all possible worlds, nonetheless. How revolting.

Lost 'Star Trek' Script Wasn't Really Lost, Says Former Editor

John Ordover, a former editor of the Star Trek novels for Pocket Books, said that Norman Spinrad's lost screenplay, "He Walked Among Us," which recently resurfaced after 45 years, wasn't actually lost…Ordover had a copy of it in his office during his 1992-2003 tenure at Pocket Books.

Ordover said of the screenplay, "Had I known it was 'lost' I would have happily sent Norman a copy."

"He Walked Among Us" was a story about a serious violation of the Prime Directive. The late comedian, Milton Berle, was to have starred, however, massive rewrites forced Spinrad pull the episode. Spinrad, who wrote his script on a typewriter, never kept a version for himself.

In fact, that wasn't the only unproduced Star Trek material that Ordover had access to. Ordover also had two treatments by writer Theodore Sturgeon, who had written the episodes "Amok Time" and "Shore Leave."

Ordover said, "One was called 'The Joy Machine.' I can't recall the name of the second, but it had 'Bell' in the title."

Were they good? "I haven't read them in 15 years," Ordover said, "so I have little memory of what they actually contained. But of the three, I thought it would be the easiest to turn 'The Joy Machine' into a novel."

Screenplays and novels are been frequently "lost" and then rediscovered. Often the people who have them are unaware that anyone is for looking them. In fact, the last book Ordover acquired for Pocket was just such a manuscript: Robert Heinlein's unpublished first novel, For Us, the Living: A Comedy of Customs.

Ordover left Pocket Books in 2003. He has no idea if the Spinrad script or the Sturgeon treatments are still in the office.

 

‘Discriminating’ Nesbitt collection brings major artists to Bucknell - SunGazette.com | News, Sports, Jobs, Community Information

& & & & By C.A. KELLER - Sun-Gazette Correspondent & & & & ,& & Williamsport Sun-Gazette& & &

LEWISBURG?- Walk into the Bucknell University's Samek Art Gallery, past the giant sculpted skeleton heads perched on vibrant red pillows, past the giant, Plato-inspired geometric cloud. Walk down the hallway, a little further back, into the warmly lit room where you'll be met by a surprise.

Cassatt is here, Cezanne, Matisse, Albrecht Durer and Fairfield Porter. There's Rembrandt over there and in that corner, Miro.

Famous painters all, but while their names are familiar, the method being practiced here is not - not as much.

Because paintings are not hanging on the Samek Gallery walls. Through March 29, the gallery, located on the third floor of the University's Elaine Langone Student Center, is hosting "The Sandy and John Nesbitt Collection: The Discriminating Eye at Work," a collection of prints by artistic giants, some known for their work as printmakers, some not.

It's the first comprehensive exhibit of the Nesbitt collection and it's an elegant one, thoughtfully crafted by curator and Bucknell University art history professor Christiane Andersson. The works themselves, selected by students in Andersson's Popular Culture and Prints class, are impeccable, precise, practically photographs but not quite. Others have the delicacy of a simple sketch, illuminated by soft expression. The exhibit demonstrates printmaking and lithography's depth and range as it developed from the early 1500s to the present day.

That they all belong to one couple, Bucknell class of '64 alumni Sandy and John Nesbitt, is slightly mind-boggling. But yes, as Andersson assures, people do own Rembrandts. And the collection results from a very simple drive on the Nesbitt's part.

"When they got out of college, they got married and they wanted to put some art on their walls. The rest is history," Andersson said.

The prints on display are striking representations of the artists who created them. The Durer, a 1497 woodcut of "Christ Carrying the Cross," is dramatic, muscular and bold; Rembrandt's "Fourth Oriental Head" is softer, more textured, elegant and somehow elusive. And then there's the Miro, abstract of course, vibrant and playfully surreal, with its hanging moss and Barcelona black cats.

Other names are not as well known, but the works astonish. Giovanni Battista Piranesi's giant etching of Rome's famous Piazza Navona is remarkable for its sense of life and sharp detail - the latter of which is a hallmark of printmaking through the ages.

"It's completely amazing," Andersson said. "You're looking at works from some of the world's best printmakers. This is the top of the world."

Of course, she added with a dry slice of bemusement, "there are lots of bad prints out there, but the Nesbitts weren't interested in collecting those."

The works hanging in the Samek Gallery are just a sample of the Nesbitt's expansive collection that represents years of the carefully considered art-collecting that merits the exhibition's name. Printmaking allows for a greater economy in art collection - when more of a work exists, the more affordable it becomes.

"We liked being able to purchase fine art by historically significant artists, works that were within our budget," the Nesbitts wrote in the gallery's accompanying book, which carries the same name as the exhibit.

But the art form does not sacrifice quality and the elegant collection now adorning the Samek's walls is of considerable value. While not one of a kind, the prints on display were nonetheless reproduced by the artists' own hands, in a limited run, using the etching, engraving, woodcutting or lithograph that the artists themselves created. They are meticulously crafted and quite rare.

According to Andersson, the Nesbitts' willingness to loan their works to Bucknell shows generosity, but also a love of Bucknell commonly found among alumni.

"At the end of each year, we have reunions and the entire Bucknell campus is overrun with alumni," Andersson said. "I think the quality of the education and the very high level of professorial attention that students get here is responsible for the alumni's great attachment to their alma mater."

That quality and attention is reflected in a very particular aspect of the exhibit's genesis.

Eleven students enrolled in Andersson's Popular Culture and Prints class in the spring of 2010 played an integral role in creating the exhibit as visitors see it in the Samek.

Through Andersson's connection to the Nesbitts, whom she first met years ago at an inaugural dinner for a former university president, students looked at photographs of the Nesbitts' collection and selected two prints each to research for a semester-long process that culminated in a term paper and in the descriptive labels that hang underneath each of the works in the exhibit. The subjective selection was surprisingly varied; no guidelines or demands produced the collection's range of time, style and taste that ultimately encompasses printmaking's history.

Of course, that range is inherent to the collection's source and after the exhibit opened on Jan. 27, the Nesbitts returned to campus Feb. 7 to speak with students in Andersson's current classes about their collection.

A hands-on experience is typical of Andersson's classes.

"I'm an art history professor who believes very strongly in the importance of students studying and working with original works of art," Andersson said. "I think that is much more important than giving lectures with power point slides in the classroom. So on every occasion that I can possibly think of, I set up a seminar so my students can do the same thing."

The value of that endeavor extends far beyond the Bucknell community.

As Andersson said, "You've heard of all of these artists. So I think many people will walk in to the gallery and say 'Oh, Rembrandt made that?' It's very exciting to make those kinds of discoveries."

The Samek Art Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, with additional weekend hours from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

In addition to the Nesbitt exhibit, the gallery is also hosting "Influx," a sculpture, video and digital print series by Joe Meiser, and its permanent Kress Collection of Renaissance paintings.

Lance Armstrong Gives Ironman Impetus for U.S. Television First

By Mike Buteau -

World Triathlon Corp. is in discussion with Comcast Corp. (CMCSA)'s NBC network about televising live part of its 2012 Ironman World Championship in Hawaii as Lance Armstrong targets a spot in the race.

Andrew Messick, World Triathlon's chief executive officer, said he'll be "much more aggressive" in getting television coverage for its marquee race because of Armstrong, a seven-time winner of cycling's Tour de France. NBC currently televises the annual championship race in Kailua-Kona on tape-delay about two months after it takes place.

"We want to investigate opportunities to be able to potentially put parts of the race live, something that has never been done in the U.S.," Messick said in an interview yesterday in San Diego, California, where he is attending the Triathlon America Business of Triathlon conference. "Lance brings a spotlight to our sport that's brighter perhaps than anything that has ever happened."

NBC Sports is "happy our long-term relationship with Ironman runs through 2018," spokesman Chris McCloskey said in a telephone interview. He declined to comment further.

Armstrong, 40, finished second in his first 70.3-mile half Ironman race on Feb. 12 in Panama City, Panama, an initial step in his quest to qualify for triathlon's World Championship. Armstrong was overtaken in the final two miles by New Zealand's Bevan Docherty, a two-time Olympic medalist.

The race, which consisted of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile run, wasn't televised and there was no live video stream on the Internet. Text updates of the event drew 150,000 unique visitors to Ironman's website, Messick said, up from about 7,500 for similar races a year earlier.

"The race in Panama came about at the 11th hour and we made a decision that it probably wasn't the right thing to do to put a ton of audio and video resources behind it," Messick said. "We had very little time to talk about it and get ourselves organized and do the kind of job that we felt we needed to."

Armstrong, whose Livestrong cancer charity foundation has a sponsorship agreement with World Triathlon, will also compete in half Ironman events in Texas in April, Florida in May, and Hawaii on June 2.

For those races, Messick said Ironman plans to increase its online coverage to include video and audio to spotlight Armstrong's participation. Armstrong competed as a professional triathlete at age 18 before focusing on cycling.

"Our opportunity as a sport is to use the fact that we have an athlete like Lance and use it to bring more people into triathlon," Messick said. "There's going to be a lot of opportunity for people who successfully embrace that."

Armstrong will race his first professional 140.6-mile full Ironman event June 24 in Nice, France, as he seeks to earn enough points to qualify for the Oct. 13 World Championship in Hawaii. He currently ranks 58th with 1,200 points. The top 40- ranked professionals by July 29 will qualify.

“Dancing with the Stars:” Can Donald Driver keep up with Hines Ward? - The Early Lead

One of the toughest things in sports is repeating as champion, which raises the question: what are the chances that an active NFL wide receiver will again be the "Dancing with the Stars" champion?

Can Donald Driver of the Green Bay Packers step into Hines Ward's sparkly shoes and hoist the moderately-coveted Mirror Ball Trophy?

Athletes typically do well on the show, with six jocks winning, so that bodes well for Driver. (Or, perhaps, Martina Navratilova, who also is competing.) Another football player, Emmitt Smith, has won, although he was retired at the time.

Frankly, if this were the New York Giants' salsa-swiveling Victor Cruz, the judges would just have to hand him the ball on the first night of the show March 19. But Cruz said no and, because Driver has yet to strut his stuff, we'll just have to make a few football comparisons to Ward in order to assess his chances.

Both stand 6 feet tall. Ward is 35, Driver 37.

Overall career yardage: Ward, 12,083; Driver 10,060.

Experience: Ward, 14 seasons; Driver 13.

Career touchdowns: Ward, 85; Driver 59.

Super Bowl championships: Ward leads, 2-1. But note that Driver's Packers beat Ward's Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl in 2011. Ward caught seven passes for 78 yards and a touchdown in that game; Driver caught two passes for 28 yards.

Super Bowl MVP awards: Ward, 1-0.

All of which means nothing on any given ... Monday.

Report: London No Safer for All Its CCTV Cameras

London is considered the most spied-on city in the world, courtesy of its ubiquitous CCTV cameras, purportedly there to reduce crime. But according to a recent report, there's been little or no change in London's crime rates since they were more widely installed in the mid 1980s.

Privacy activists are worried that Britain will become the bleak totalitarian society George Orwell painted in his classic novel "1984," where citizens were spied on and personal freedom sacrificed for the benefit of an all-powerful state.

"We are sleepwalking into a surveillance society where we're watched from control rooms by anonymous people, says Emma Carr of the BBW. "The worrying thing is that we don't actually know how many CCTV cameras there are out there."

How well do you know Europe? step right up and take our quiz to find out

In the report released this week, civil rights group Big Brother Watch revealed that local councils spent £515 million (about $807 million) on new cameras over the past four years, the equivalent of 4,121 police officers. Birmingham, England's second most populous city, has spent the most: £14.3 million ($22 million) over past four years, followed by Westminster at £11.8 million ($18.5 million), and Leeds at £8.7 million ($13.6 million).

BBW estimates there are now some 51,000 police-run cameras watching British citizens in urban areas, not including private cameras or cameras situated in other public buildings like train stations or bus depots.

A common figure cited is a total 4.2 million cameras across the Britain based on a working paper published in 2002, by academics Michael McCahill and Clive Norris but research last year by Cheshire Police puts the figure closer to 1.85 million.

But Ms. Carr says that without official registrations and research it is impossible to calculate.

The civil rights group Liberty estimates that the average Londoner is captured on camera around 300 times a day while BBW claims Britain has 20 percent of the world's CCTV cameras and only 1 percent of the world's population.

There is a perception that the cameras reduce the crime rate, but there is no evidence for that, say activists. "The Met police have said that in 2008, only one crime was solved for every 1,000 CCTV cameras," says Carr.

Charlie Masson Smith, a spokesman for Wandsworth Council, which covers the south London suburb of Balham, disagrees.

"They do help the police solve crime – in 2010, 841 cases in Wandsworth were brought to court using CCTV camera footage. But it's not just crime, they can be used for traffic congestion or other ways like the time they helped rescue someone from the Thames when they had fallen in the river. We think it is money well spent."

He says cameras are only located in mostly urban areas and where residents or businessmen have requested them. His local authority has 1,158 CCTV cameras and spent £4.7 million ($ 7.4 million) over the past four years making it No. 8 on the list of big spenders.

"Most cameras are in shopping areas or near to Tube stations, we don't put them in Acacia Avenue," he says. "We try and strike a balance with civil liberties but a lot of the time we are reacting to what people are wanting.

There are nearly 70 cameras on display on lampposts, sides of buildings and in the underground and mainline and train stations in a half-mile stretch of main road in Balham.

To be sure, at least some residents here don't seem to notice or mind.

Bluebeard buried wife in valley

May 5 1920, EL CENTRO, CALIF. - The body of Mrs. Nina Lee Deloney was located yesterday by her husband William B. Huirt, who is said to have admitted that he killed her and hid the body in the unfrequented valley in the mountains near El Centro, Calif. When the officers who were escorting Huirt, or Watson, as he is now called, told him that they had found the body, he collapsed. Watson is charged with murder. The picture is that of Mrs. Deloney.

As the hour approached for the officers to place Watson on the train for his return to Los Angeles tonight, after he had located the grave of Nina Lee Deloney and calmly testified at the inquest that he had killed her, a growing mob gathered at he railroad station and threats of lynching grew so loud that Sheriff Applestill and the Los Angeles deputies spirited their prisoner to another station by automobile, concealing their destination.

The mob had not learned of the change of plans and was still waiting at the depot at 9 o'clock.

CHARGED WITH MURDER

The alleged bigamist-murderer was formally charged with murder here late today, when a coroner's jury which held an inquest over the body on Nina Lee Deloney, which was recovered this morning from is hidden burial spot in Western Imperial country, returned a verdict that "death was caused by a blow on the head by James Watson." The latter is another name by which the prisoner is known.

The verdict also recounted the long period the body had lain in the lonely spot near Coyote Wells, where Watson piloted a party of official searchers from Los Angeles and added that the blow which caused death had been by a "blunt instrument, presumably a hammer, and by Watson, he having admitted it."

Watson was the principal witness at the inquest. He identified the body as that of "my wife, Mrs. Deloney." He also told the jury he had killed her and had buried the body in the lonely grave in a gulch in the mountains, 30 miles west of El Centro.

AT NEW WESTMINSTER

In answer to Sheriff Cline of Los Angeles who appears very anxious to obtain more information as to the visit of Huirt to New Westminster last summer, Chief of Police Bradshaw yesterday sent him the following additional information, secured by himself in this city:

It was July 8 last year that Huirt, known by the chief's information as Watson, came to the express office with a woman whom he interfaced as his wife. He stated that they were stopping at the Russell Hotel and had wired to Edmonton, Alta., for a tent and tire covers for which they were waiting. The tent and tire covers arrived at the express office, on the 14th of July and were addressed to Mrs. Kate Watson, New Westminster. Watson, or Huirt, signed for this article and stated that they were going south to California via automobile. He left the tire covers with the express agent until November 18, when he returned alone an stated that he and his wife were going to Vancouver.

Mr. Labadins, the chief's informant, did not see the woman on this second visit, but of course, at that time thought nothing of it.

It was not until he saw the story and photograph in the Vancouver Sun that he connected this Watson with Huirt, the alleged bluebeard.

Last Sunday he positively identified the photographs of Huirt as Watson, from the sheriff of Los Angeles, and which Chief Bradshaw had just received. The woman on the first visit of Watson to the express office told the express agent that they had been married in Proctor, a little place just ousted of Nelson, B.C. She was about 30 or 35 years of age, jovial disposition, and wore glasses.

WHERE IS BEATRICE LEWIS?

Winnipeg, May 4. - The name of Beatrice M. Lewis, a Winnipeg woman, was added today to the list of missing wives of James B. Huirt, Los Angeles bluebeard, who has confessed to murdering several of his 27 "help-mates."

Huirt, according to a telegram received from Los Angeles, married the Lewis woman in Winnipeg about 12 years ago. She has dropped from sight and police believe she is another of the wives whom Huirt says he is not sure whether he murdered her or not.

Another woman whom Huirt married in Winnipeg was Mrs. H. L. Gordon, now residing in the city.

Angelina Jolie’s Magic Leg Pose At Oscars ‘Totally Unplanned’

INF/Pacific Coast News

By Jen Heger - Radar Legal Editor

Just a day after stealing the Oscars with a sexy pose showing off her right leg, A-lister Angelina Jolie was shopping in Beverly Hills with her twins Vivienne and Knox, and RadarOnline.com has learned the impromptu leg show was completely unplanned!

PHOTOS: Angelina Jolie Enjoys An Afternoon With The Twins And Brad's Mother

As we previously reported, Jolie made international headlines at Sunday's Oscars, when she struck the now-famous pose while presenting an Academy Award, and an insider tells RadarOnline.com exclusively Jolie was simply vamping it up for the audience -- and oblivious to the controversy.

PHOTOS: Angelina Sizzles On The Red Carpet

"Angie was vamping it up, no more, nothing less," the source said. "There was no hidden meaning in what she was doing. The photographers went crazy for her on the red carpet and were screaming for her to 'Show some leg,' and so she did.

PHOTOS: Angelina Jolie Hits The Shops With The Twins & Brad's Mom

"It was totally unplanned for Angie to do it again when she was presenting, she was having fun, living in the moment, like she always does. She is absolutely oblivious to the controversy and attention the sexy pose has created."

As we previously reported, the Internet has been abuzz following Angelina's onstage Oscars appearance, as she made sure everyone could see when she flashed her gorgeous leg -- including her partner Brad Pitt, who was sitting in the front row.

The striking provocative pose wasn't the only reason why Jolie was making news, as Angelina's pin thin arms also made headlines.

PHOTOS: Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Bring Hollywood Glamor To Berlin

"Yes, Angie is thin. She has a lot going on with the kids, Brad, and work. Angie understands that going to award shows is part of the business, but it's not at the top of her list of favorite things to do. She is relieved that it's now over," the insider said.

In Beverly Hills Monday, little Knox was dressed in a black motorcycle jacket and sweatpants while Vivienne rocked a beige trench coat, white dress and cute pink shoes.

PHOTOS: Oscar Winners Show Off Their Academy Award-Winning Gowns

Not to be outdone, mama Angelina looked super-stylish in a black pant suit and white shirt, with her hair pulled back in a knot and large sunglasses firmly in place. (This time, however, Angelina's arms and legs were covered.)

Also along for the trip was Brad's mom, Jane.

Andre Agassi Prep School Sued -- Allegations of Racism

Andre Agassi Prep School Allegations of Racism

The Nevada prep school named after and founded by Andre Agassi has been sued by a former biology teacher who claims he was treated like crap and FIRED because he's black.

TMZ has obtained the lawsuit filed by James Holmes Jr. -- who claims he was hired to teach 9th and 10th grade biology at Andre Agassi College Prep Academy in 2005.

According to his suit, things went smoothly for the next 3 years ... until the school hired a new principal in 2008 ... who allegedly favored white teachers.

James claims the principal refused to let him travel to a science conference ... blaming it on budget restraints. But James claims he later discovered the school head DID have funds reserved for other teachers who wanted to attend conferences ... and they all happened to be white.

James also claims the principal denied his request for new lab materials due to budget restraints ... only to find out the lab materials were ordered for two white teachers instead.

According to the suit, James says he filed a complaint with the school ... but officials retaliated by firing his ass and replacing him with a substitute elementary school teacher who wasn't certified to teach science courses.

James is demanding at least $75k in damages. Andre is not personally named in the suit.

A rep for the Academy tells us, "We will aggressively defend the suit because the case is baseless and without any merit."

Michigan Primary Results 2012: Live Updates

All eyes are on Michigan as the results roll in for the state's primary election.

Mitt Romney was projected the winner in the Arizona primary on Tuesday.

The latest polls on the race in the Wolverine State signaled the contest was headed for a photo finish. HuffPost's Mark Blumenthal reports:

The final round of polls in Michigan has yielded one of the closest forecasts yet for the 2012 Republican primaries. Collectively, they give Mitt Romney a laser-thin margin over Rick Santorum, one that falls well within the real-world margin of error for a primary election. Either candidate could come out on top of Michigan's popular vote tonight.

In the Michigan contest, 30 delegates are at stake.

(From delegates to Twitter followers, click here for a rundown on who's ahead in the primary race.)

Check out the live blog below for the latest developments out of Michigan and the Grand Canyon State.

Following up on Santorum strategist John Brabender's statement, "So we may have won Michigan," let's dive into how the numbers look thus far in each of Michigan's 14 congressional districts. Romney and Santorum will each take a delegate for earning more than 15 percent of the statewide vote. The rest of the delegates are handed out to whoever wins each congressional district -- the winner gets two for every one they win. & 13;

That means all the delegate action is spread out across the state, and thanks to the Detroit News, we can get a snapshot of how the map looks so far. It's important to note that we've a long way to go before all the results are in. The 9th Congressional District hasn't reported any results yet. (Though Romney is doing well in each of the adjacent Detroit Metro congressional districts.)& 13;

So when Brabender looks at the map, he sees that so far, his guy is leading in nine of the 14 districts. Now, some of those leads are quite close and there's no guarantee that his lead will hold, but the potential exists right now for Santorum to take home 18 of these delegates. Add the one he splits with Romney on the statewide vote, and Santorum could leave Michigan winning delegates 19-11.& 13;

& 13; @ CarrieNBCNews :& 13; Michigan Dems statement on Romney: "no amount of affection for our trees will save him come November." TreeZing& 13;

Dave Weigel reports on Twitter that Santorum campaign strategist John Brabender "says they may have bested Romney in delegates." If you recall, winning the statewide vote only entitles the winner to a share of the the available at-large delegates. There are only two at-large delegates. The remaining delegates are awarded to the winner of each of Michigan's 14 congressional districts. There is a possibility that Santorum may win enough of those congressional districts to come out of Michigan with the larger share of the state's delegates.& 13;

I'd have called those chances small an hour ago. Brabender, however, is more confident, saying, "So we may have won Michigan." If that's true -- and one would hope that Brabender wouldn't stick his neck out like that if there weren't a solid hope that it was -- the challenge for Santorum's campaign will be convincing the Keepers Of The Political Narrative to show favor to that result.& 13;

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ howardfineman :& 13; Santorum was outspent 5/6 to 1 -- at least -- in Michigan, and finished 3 points behind a winner who could get no higher than 41 percent.& 13;

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ howardfineman :& 13; Santorum campaign tells me he'll be in Dalton, GA on Thursday at largest carpet factory. Jobs have been lost there. S talks manufacturing& 13;

Mitt Romney made his first public plea for donations during a major campaign speech while speaking Tuesday in Michigan -- not coincidentally at a time when his campaign is burning though money. & 13;

"I need your support," Romney said after winning primaries in Michigan and Arizona. "I'm asking for you to get out and vote and I'm asking for you by the way to go on MittRomney.com and pledge your support in every way possible. I'm asking you to join the fight for our freedom."& 13;

The Romney campaign spent a whopping $18.7 million during the month of January, averaging $603,225 per day. The candidate took in only about $206,451 per day during that period. & 13;

& 13; @ DWStweets :& 13; In MI, Romney had to double down on his incredibly out-of-touch position that we should have "let Detroit go bankrupt."& 13;

Update On Natasha Loder's Arrest:& 13;

Per Chad Livengood, Natasha Loder, the Economist reporter who was briefly detained at Romney's event in Novi, sat in the doorway in protest over the way her colleagues were being treated at the event. He tweets: "Just to clarify... Natasha Loder and other reporters did not have credentials to be inside the ballroom, but there was plenty of space," adding, "One reporter started demanding to speak with a Romney campaign official [and Loder] sat down in the door way in protest of the closing."& 13;

Livengood also reports that Loder was released from custody after being led away from the event in handcuffs.& 13;

Our earlier report:& 13;

A reporter for the Economist was arrested at Mitt Romney's campaign victory rally during the Michigan primary on Tuesday, according to a local Michigan reporter. Others said that the reporter was detained, not charged.& 13;

Chad Livengood, a reporter at the Lansing bureau of the Detroit News, tweeted that Natasha Loder, a Midwest reporter for the magazine, was arrested for sitting in a doorway at the crowded event, which reporters were being blocked from entering.& 13;

Livengood also snapped photos which showed a woman sitting on the floor, surrounded by police.& 13;

Richard Adams, a reporter for the Guardian, tweeted that Loder was "briefly handcuffed" by Secret Service agents.& 13;

And Toby Harnden, the U.S. editor for the Daily Mail, said that Loder had been detained and then released.& 13;

Mitt Romney addressed supporters Tuesday night after winning both the Arizona and Michigan GOP primaries.& 13;

"Thank you Arizona, great victory in Arizona tonight," Romney said. "And thank you Michigan. It was just a week ago that the pundits and the pollsters -- they were going to count us out."& 13;

After thanking various supporters, Romney launched into his usual attack on Obama. He targeted the president for the housing crisis, the national debt and the Keystone Pipeline.& 13;

"Obama thinks we can't wait, to which I say, 'oh yes we can,'" Romney said to much applause.& 13;

Romney said Obama "thinks he's unchecked by the constitution" and that he'd be "unrestrained" if he spent another four years in the White House. The GOP hopeful even hit Obama over the much-debated Keystone Pipeline.& 13;

"I'll get us that oil from Canada that we deserve," Romney said.& 13;

Romney acknowledged that the win in Michigan was "particularly special" because it is his home state.& 13;

"Tonight is also particularly special for me because this is the place where I was born, this is the place where I was raised," Romney said. "Michiganders in this room, we consider you all family."& 13;

"We didn't win by a lot, but we won by enough and that's all that counts," Romney said.& 13;

Romney issued a special thank you to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and Senator John McCain, who endorsed the former Massachusetts governor and campaigned for him. "They were tireless," Romney said.& 13;

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ ZekeJMiller :& 13; In case you were wondering, Romney is using a teleprompter& 13;

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ samsteinhp :& 13; Mitt Romney criticizes Obama for not tackling the housing crisis, which he himself has said should hit rock bottom first& 13;

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ mckaycoppins :& 13; Don't think Romney was expecting call-and-response from the crowd, but it's working for him. Good energy tonight.& 13;

"The right height."& 13;

That's according to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who mentioned his home state's trees several times during recent campaign events.& 13;

Romney won Michigan's Republican primary Tuesday, though he faced a close challenge from former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.& 13;

No one has yet unravelled Romney's mysterious affection for the height of the Mitten State's trees, but the candidate made another subtle tree reference in his victory tweet Tuesday night:& 13;

According to the state Department of Natural Resources, only half of Michigan's 36.4 million acres have trees. Michigan was a center for the lumber industry and saw many of its old-growth forests chopped down before the turn of the last century. & 13;

But the Department of Natural Resources notes, "Although the lands that remain forested have changed a great deal in the past 150 years, they are still very special. Romney would agree."& 13;

& 13; @ DanaBashCNN :& 13; Source tells me rick santorum called romney to concede cnnelections& 13;

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who endorsed Mitt Romney earlier this week, dismissed the notion on Tuesday that the candidate's immigration rhetoric could hurt him in the general election. & 13;

"A lot of the pundits have said that," Brewer told Fox News. "But the bottom line is that we are a nation of laws and we believe in the rule of law, and any American that believes in our country understands that we have to have laws." & 13;

Brewer signed the first in a wave of state laws designed to drive undocumented immigrants out of the U.S. That law has been challenged by the federal government and is widely disliked among Latinos, the fastest-growing segment of the electorate. & 13;

Brewer said "it's probably not a good thing" that the GOP race seems likely to go on, but the campaign is "ready for the long-haul."& 13;

Rick Santorum addressed supporters on what he called "an absolutely great night" Tuesday. & 13;

Santorum had already lost the Arizona primary to rival Mitt Romney when he began his speech. As Santorum spoke to supporters, NBC News projected Romney as the winner of the Michigan primary as well.& 13;

After thanking his supporters, Santorum took the opportunity to talk "more specifically about three people" -- his mother, his wife and his daughter Elizabeth.& 13;

Santorum touted his 93-year-old mother's higher education and work experience, calling her an "unusual person for her time." & 13;

"She's someone who did get a college education in the 1930s and was a nurse, and got a graduate degree even as a nurse and worked full time," Santorum said. "She was a professional who actually made more money than her husband. I grew up with a very strong mom. Someone who was a professional person who taught me a lot of things about how to balance work and family and doing it well and doing it with a big heart and commitment."& 13;

Santorum also shared stories of his wife Karen, who he met "when she was just about to start the practice of law":& 13;

"I recruited her in more ways than one, to my law firm. Karen was a professional and worked for a nurse for nine years and then after that she -- we got married and she walked away. And she decided to stay home and raise her children. But she didn't quit working... raising seven children is a lot of work, but she found time also to be an author of two books. Those books that really went to the heart of the family, and something that she knows a lot about. She too has been that rock that has been beside me and has been a great example of how it's important to balance that work and family and do so committed to making sure that you are the best at both that you can be."

He rounded out his personal stories by thanking his daughter Elizabeth for her help on the campaign trail.& 13;

"She goes out on her own and campaigns, and the feedback I get is, 'you stay home, just send Elizabeth out,'" Santorum said. "I've been very, very blessed. Very blessed with great role models."& 13;

Santorum then launched into an attack on Obama's health care law. Santorum said his health care approach would differ from "RomneyCare" and "ObamaCare" to be more like "YouCare," because "it's based on you."& 13;

-- Paige Lavender

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ DavidChalian :& 13; Wow. This Santorum speech is fascinating how it directly responds to the damage he feels has been done to his image in last 2 weeks& 13;

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ jonward11 :& 13; lotta people in Romney room watching santorum on the TV. can't hear him tho. "more than a feeling" is roaring through the loudspeakers& 13;

One aspect of the Republican primaries has been extraordinarily consistent: In every contest so far in which the television networks have conducted exit polls, Mitt Romney has done best among the wealthiest Republicans.& 13;

In Michigan, according the exit polls currently posted by CBS News, Romney runs strongest with Republicans who report incomes of $200,000 or more per year, running 26 percentage points ahead of Rick Santorum (55 percent to 29 percent). He runs ahead but by a much smaller, seven-point margin among those earning $100,000 to $200,000 per year (44 percent to 37 percent) and trails Santorum by four (35 percent to 39 percent) among those earning $100,000 or less. & 13;

In Arizona, the pattern is similar: Romney is leading Santorum by a whopping 48 points (63 percent to 15 percent) among those earning $200,000 or better and by smaller margins among those in lower income groups. Santorum only comes close in Arizona among voters earning less than $30,000 per year, trailing Romney by just two percentage points (32 percent to 34 percent). & 13;

This pattern has been remarkably consistent, as shown in the following table, based on the seven states for which National Election Pool exit polls are available. In each case, Romney's vote is much higher among voters earning $100,000 or better than among voters earning $50,000 or less.& 13;

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney was projected the winner of Tuesday's Michigan Primary by NBC News.

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ howardfineman :& 13; Insider's insider question: when does the infighting overtake friends and staff of Mitt Romney? The longer it takes the nets to call Mich..& 13;

& 13; @ electionate :& 13; With Romney's margins getting bigger in Detroit, I think there's almost no way that west Michigan can get Santorum over the top& 13;

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ evanmc_s :& 13; Hard to express how surreal and staged and quiet it is in Santorum HQ right now. GrandRapids& 13;

& 13; & 13; & 13;

& 13; @ daveweigel :& 13; They've taken out the big TV screens at Santorum party, to spare us the indignity of the coming Romney call MIprimary& 13;

Union members and their relatives who voted in Tuesday's GOP primary in Michigan broke for Rick Santorum over Mitt Romney by a wide margin, an indication that the state's labor community probably views the former senator from Pennsylvania as less hostile to union interests than the erstwhile frontrunner.& 13;

According to CNN exit polling, 45 percent of voters who identified themselves as union members cast their ballots for Santorum, compared with 26 percent for Romney. Among voters who said someone in their household was a union member, 45 percent went for Santorum and 27 percent for Romney.& 13;

Unlike in many other states, labor issues figured prominently in the GOP primary in Michigan, where the United Auto Workers union looms large and where residents have strong opinions about the government-financed rescue of the auto industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 17 percent of the state's workers belong to unions, one of the hightest rates in the country.& 13;

While in Michigan, Romney stood by the anti-labor message he's crafted throughout the primary season, and he tried to tar Santorum for what he described in Michigan as an "unapologetic defense of big labor."& 13;

In particular, Romney had recently been knocking Santorum for past votes he cast in the Senate against a national right-to-work law and in favor of the Davis-Bacon Act, the prevailing wage law supported by unions. Romney may have paid a price Tuesday for those sharp attacks.& 13;

Michigan union members who voted may also have been attracted to Santorum's economic plan, which stresses a robust manufacturing sector, as well as the fact that he's voiced support for private-sector unions recently.& 13;

The polling data on union members will likely stoke speculation that Santorum and unions had colluded in Michigan to tip the vote away from Romney. On Tuesday, Romney accused the Santorum camp of "teaming up" with unions to robocall Democratic voters and encourage them to vote for Santorum. Michigan is an open primary in which anyone can vote, regardless of party affiliation. & 13;

Despite the wide margin in union-member votes, Michigan voters who had strong support for the auto bailout were generally split among the two candidates, with 41 percent of voters who approved of government support voting for Romney and 38 percent for Santorum. Neither candidate supported the $80 billion rescue plan for America's automakers at the time, but Romney was the only one who penned an op-ed in The New York Times against the idea in 2008, entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." & 13;
