The 2008 Montana Republican presidential caucuses took place on February 5, 2008, with 25 national delegates.
The first caucuses were scheduled for midday in Sheridan County and Judith Basin County.

In spite of this change, only one presidential candidate actually visited Montana, Mitt Romney in June 2007. McCain, Romney, Huckabee and Paul each orchestrated last-minute conference calls with voters at caucus sites.

Endorsements
Former Senator Conrad Burns endorsed McCain. Secretary of State Brad Johnson endorsed Romney. Former Governor Judy Martz endorsed Huckabee.

Results

Primary
Montana held a non-binding Republican primary on June 3, 2008.  John McCain won the primary.

Alexander Goligoski (born July 30, 1985) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL). During his NHL career, he has also played for the Pittsburgh Penguins, the organization that drafted him in the second round, 61st overall, in 2004, the Dallas Stars and Arizona Coyotes. He was part of the Pittsburgh Penguins 2009 Stanley Cup championship team.

Playing career

Amateur
Goligoski was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round from Grand Rapids High School (Thunderhawks), 61st overall, of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. After being drafted, Goligoski played college hockey at Minnesota from 2004 to 2007, where he was assistant captain with Kellen Briggs. In 2004–05, he was named to the All-WCHA Rookie Team. In 2005–06, he was named to the All-WCHA Second Team.

Professional

Pittsburgh Penguins

He began his professional career with the Penguins' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in 2007. Goligoski was then recalled by Pittsburgh on February 5, 2008, and played his first NHL game against the Boston Bruins on February 13. After being returned to Wilkes-Barre, he again later recalled by Pittsburgh, registering his first point, an assist, on March 1 against the Ottawa Senators.

Due to injuries to Sergei Gonchar and Ryan Whitney, Goligoski began the 2008–09 season on the roster for Pittsburgh. He scored his first NHL goal in his first game that season against Alex Auld of the Ottawa Senators. On November 13, Goligoski scored on his first shootout attempt of his career; the goal won the game for the Penguins. He was a member of the 2009 Stanley Cup-winning Penguins team.

On June 15, 2009, Goligoski signed a three-year, $5.5 million extension with the Penguins.

Dallas Stars
On February 21, 2011, Goligoski was traded to the Dallas Stars in exchange for left winger James Neal and defenseman Matt Niskanen. He made his debut with the team two days later where he logged 23:34 of ice time and recorded one shot on goal. As the Stars began a playoff push, Goligoski saw increased ice time per game and often played over 30 minutes. Over his 23 games with Dallas, Goligoski averaged 26:04 of ice time per game and contributed five goals, three on the power play, and 15 points over that span. Following the 2010–11 season, Goligoski was invited to play for the United States at the 2011 IIHF World Championship in Slovakia. He declined, however, because he had not had much off-time in the past few seasons.

Goligoski returned to the Dallas Stars for the 2011–12 season, his first full season with the team. He began the season strong, quickly resuming his pace from the previous season. As the Stars maintained a winning 11–5–0 record, he ranked second among Dallas defensemen in scoring with two goals and four assists. However, after breaking his thumb on November 11, Goligoski was placed on injured reserve by the Stars. Despite missing 11 games, Goligoski still ranked third among Dallas defensemen upon returning to the lineup on December 8. By mid-January, Goligoski led all teammates in overall time-on-ice per-game as well as power play time-on-ice per-game. While logging these high minutes, he also compiled seven points through 11 games after registering one goal and one assist in the previous 13. His efforts during the season earned him a four-year, $18.4 million contract extension on January 23, 2012. He finished the season leading all Dallas blueliners with nine goals and 30 points although the Stars failed to qualify for the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs.

As a result of the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Goligoski and the Stars played a shortened season starting in January 2013 instead of October 2012. He struggled through the start of the season, tallying three points and a plus-two rating in ten games. As such, he was a healthy scratch on February 6 for the first time since his rookie season in Pittsburgh.  Goligoski later credited the early season scratch for helping him better evaluate his game. He returned the lineup the following game and played alongside Jamie Oleksiak as the Stars' top defensive pairing. As the season progressed, Goligoski played an integral role in improving the Stars' 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs chances. By early April, he had accumulated 22 points in 38 games and led the Stars in plus-minus at plus-5. Although he missed a few games in April 2013 due to a fractured bone, Goligoski finished the season with three goals and 24 assists. Goligoski also found good chemistry with Brenden Dillon in the final months of the season that allowed him to free up his own play moving the puck up the ice.

Goligoski improved during the 2013–14 season, finishing third on the team with 42 points.  He failed to impress the Stars coaching staff to start the season and was subsequently made a healthy scratch early in October. At the time of the scratch, he had been pointless through eight games and was a minus-10.In an effort to improve the Stars' playing record, Goligoski was tested out on the Stars' fourth line as another forward. Upon returning to the lineup, Goligoski was paired with Jordie Benn as Ruff did not want to change the other defensive pairings. He immediately bounced back following the scratch and maintained a plus-13 rating through November. The defensive partners later changed after Stephane Robidas underwent shoulder surgery in November. Although the team maintained a 12–9–3 record, they were 7–3–1 when Goligoski and Trevor Daley were paired together. Although this was shortlived, as Daley suffered a high ankle sprain in early December, Goligoski continued to see his ice time grow. Once Daley returned, Goligoski upped his scoring abilities and together they quickly set new career highs. Goligoski tallied 28 points over his final 40 games while Daley had 13 points over his final 40 games. From December 3 through April, Goligoski averaged .64 points per game and registered 32 points through 50 games. He finished the regular season third in team scoring behind Benn and Seguin with 42 points while also leading the team in ice time.

Prior to the start of the 2015–16 season, Goligoski was named an alternate captain alongside Vernon Fiddler and captain Jamie Benn.

Arizona Coyotes
On June 16, 2016, the Stars traded Goligoski's rights to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. The Coyotes had 30 days to sign him before he automatically became an unrestricted free agent. Goligoski was eventually signed before the exclusivity window closed, agreeing to a five-year contract with the Coyotes on June 21. Longtime Coyotes defenseman Shane Doan later specifically mentioned Goligoski as one of the reasons he decided to return to the team. Goligoski, Connor Murphy, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson were expected to be the Coyotes defensive core for the 2016–17 season. However, Goligoski and the Coyots struggled at the start of the season, with the defenceman tallying six assists in 11 games while the team maintained a 4–7–0 record. The Coyotes eventually improved to a 9–13–0 record while Goligoski tallied his first goal with the team to end their three-game losing skid on December 10. Goligoski and teammate Luke Schenn later played in their 600th career NHL game in a loss to the Vancouver Canucks on January 4, 2017. By April, Goligoski had tallied six goals and 28 assists for 34 points through 79 games to tie for fourth on the team in points.

During the 2017 offseason, the Coyotes traded for Jason Demers who was expected to man the second defensive pairing alongside Goligoski during the 2017–18 NHL season. Goligoski and the Coyotes started the 2017–18 season on a losing streak, going 0–10–1 in their first 11 games. Goligoski snapped this streak by scoring in overtime on October 30, 2017, to secure the 4–3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. He later scored another game-winning goal in his 700th NHL game to lift the Coyotes to a 2–1 win over the San Jose Sharks on February 14, 2018. At the time, Goligoski had collected three goals and seven points through eight games to match the longest points streak of his career. By early March, he was tied for fourth in team scoring with 30 points and first with 112 blocked shots. He later sat out of the Coyotes three-game road trip in order to accompany his wife while she gave birth to their second child. He returned to the Coyotes lineup on March 11 where he skated a team-high 21:39 and blocked two shots in their 1–0 win over the Canucks.

Goligoski's third season with the Coyotes proved to be one of his least productive as he tallied 27 points, his lowest total for a full season in his career. Goligoski later explained that during the month of December, he had begun to experience burnout and "lost his passion for hockey." Goligoski scored the first goal by an Arizona defenseman on October 26, 2018, while the Coyotes began the 2017–18 NHL season with a 4–5–0 record. The team continued to improve throughout October and by the end of the month, they were tied with the New Jersey Devils for the fewest goals allowed and tied for fourth for fewest goals per game. After suffering a lower-body injury during a game against the Vegas Golden Knights in mid-November, Goligoski missed five games before rejoining the team for a 5–4 loss to the Flyers on November 8. He missed one game in January due to an undisclosed illness and half of another in February due to an upper body injury. Although the Coyotes again failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs, they improved to 86 points overall which was 16 more than the previous season.

Goligoski returned to the Coyotes for the 2019–20 NHL season that was unexpectantly cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was given more responsibility on the ice during the season following an injury to Niklas Hjalmarsson and worked with the Coyote's new assistant coach Phil Housley to improve his efforts on the power play. With his assistance, the Coyotes quickly improved throughout November and tied the second-longest intra-division point streak in franchise history. Through this, Goligoski ranked second on the team in points with two goals and 14 assists. By mid-December, the Coyotes improved to 13–4–3 on the road and 13–4–0 in games following a loss. During a 3–2 loss to the Nashville Predators on December 23, Goligoski registered his fifth-multi point game of the season with two assists. When the NHL paused play due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Goligoski ranked second on the team in assists (28) and seventh in points (32) on pace to match his second-highest single season record.

When the 2020–21 NHL season began in January, Goligoski was named the teams' third alternate captain. He later played in his 900th career NHL game on March 22, 2021, against the Colorado Avalanche.

Minnesota Wild
Concluding his five-year deal with the Coyotes, Goligoski left as a free agent and extended his career by agreeing to a one-year, $5 million contract with the Minnesota Wild on July 28, 2021. He recorded three assists in six games before missing three games due to an upper-body injury. His fourth assist of the season, and 350th of his NHL career, came in a 5–4 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on November 7. In the nine games following his return to the lineup, Goligoski averaged a point per game, with one goal and eight assists. On November 13, he was fined $5,000 for high-sticking Seattle Kraken forward Jordan Eberle during a game. He missed five more games in January due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol but recorded two shots and five blocked shots in 21:38 of ice time in his return on January 17. By March, Goligoski had tallied two goals and 26 assists for 28 points through 58 games. He also ranked fourth among NHL defensemen and seventh in the NHL in plus/minus rating. As a result of his outstanding play, Goligoski signed a two-year, $4 million dollar contract extension with the Wild on March 30, 2022. Goligoski and the Wild qualified for the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs where they faced off against the St. Louis Blues in the Western Conference First Round. After a loss in Game 1, coach Evason replaced Dmitry Kulikov with Goligoski for Game 2.

Personal life
Goligoski and his wife Amanda have two children together.

Charles McDonald (born 11 June 1935) is an Irish former Fine Gael politician. He was a Senator from 1961 to 1973 and from 1977 to 1992, a Teachta Dála (TD) from 1973 to 1977, and a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1973 to 1979.

Biography
From County Laois, he was a farmer before entering politics, he was elected in 1961 to the 10th Seanad on the Agricultural Panel, and held his Seanad seat until the 1973 general election, when he was elected to the 20th Dáil for the Laois–Offaly constituency (which he had contested unsuccessfully in 1969). He lost his seat in Dáil Éireann at 1977 general election, and although he stood in the next four general elections, he never returned to the Dáil.

However, after his 1977 defeat, he was elected to the 14th Seanad (again on the Agricultural Panel), and remained in the Seanad until his defeat at the 1993 election, serving as Cathaoirleach of the 15th Seanad (1981–82) and as Leas-Chathaoirleach in the 16th and 18th Seanad. He stood again at the 1997 election to the 21st Seanad, this time on the Administrative Panel, but was not elected.

McDonald was appointed as a Member of the European Parliament in 1973, one of Ireland's first delegation of MEPs, who at that time MEPs were appointed as a delegation from by national parliaments. He was re-appointed to the second and third delegations, but at the first direct election in 1979, he did not win a seat when he stood in the Leinster constituency. He did not contest the 1984 European election, and was unsuccessful again at the 1989 European election.

Vézac (; ) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

The main attraction of Vézac is the garden surrounding the Château de Marqueyssac —classified as a remarkable garden by the French Ministry of Culture—which was built in the 17th century by Bertrand Vernet, counsellor to the king. The original garden was created by a pupil of André Le Nôtre, and featured gardens, terraces, and a kitchen garden surrounding the chateau. A grand promenade one hundred metres long was added at the end of the 18th century.  Beginning in 1866, the new owner, Julien de Cerval, who was inspired by Italian gardens, built rustic structures, redesigned the parterres, laid out five kilometres of walks, and planted pines and cypress trees.

The 2007–08 Tottenham Hotspur season was the club's 16th season in the Premier League, their 29th successive season in the top division of the English football league system and their 125th year overall.

Spurs had finished fifth in the previous season's Premier League, thereby qualifying for the UEFA Cup. They then progressed to the last 16 of the competition to face PSV. After the two rounds and one away goal each, Spurs were finally eliminated 6–5 on penalties.

In the FA Cup, Spurs were eliminated by Manchester United in the fourth round, losing 3–1. This was also the season where Tottenham won the League Cup, beating Chelsea 2–1 at Wembley Stadium. Their victory remains the team's last official trophy, as of 2023, although they've been close to ending the drought, most notably in the 2019 UEFA Champions League Final.

Pre-season and friendlies
During the 2007 summer transfer period Tottenham added centre-back Younès Kaboul from Auxerre for £8 million, followed by striker Darren Bent for a club record fee of £16.5 million. This was also the season that Spurs acquired Gareth Bale from Southampton for £5 million. Additional signings included Danny Rose from Leeds United and Kevin-Prince Boateng from Hertha BSC.

Departing the club was Egyptian footballer Mido. He initially arrived on an 18-month loan deal from Roma in January 2005 and in 2006 signed a permanent deal; on 16 August 2007, he was sold to Middlesbrough for £6 million. Also departing was Reto Ziegler, who was loaned out to Sampdoria in Italy for the second half of the 2006–07 season. Sampdoria subsequently signed him permanently from Spurs for an undisclosed fee.

Friendlies

2007–08 season
Tottenham started off their Premier League campaign away at promoted Sunderland with a 1–0 loss. Three days later they travelled to Everton, losing 3–1, then back at White Hart Lane recorded their first win, 4–0 against Derby County. After that Tottenham recorded four draws and three defeats in the Premier League, which included a 3–3 draw away to Fulham and a 4–4 draw against Aston Villa. In the UEFA Cup first round Spurs won 6–1 against Cypriot club Anorthosis, then followed up with a 1–1 draw away in Cyprus. Manager Martin Jol's final Premier League game was on 22 October, a 3–1 away loss at Newcastle United. On 25 October, in the UEFA Cup, Spurs hosted Getafe, losing 2–1. Following the match, it was announced that Jol had been sacked.

After one match with Clive Allen and Alex Inglethorpe in charge, Juande Ramos was hired as Jol's replacement, having previously managed Sevilla. Alongside Ramos, Gus Poyet was handed the assistant head coaching role. Marcos Álvarez, who worked alongside Ramos at Sevilla, also joined the backroom staff, as fitness coach. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was widely criticised for his treatment of Jol following revelations that Ramos was approached to replace Jol during the summer, which many thought undermined his leadership and ruined his credibility as an authoritative figure.

Ramos' reign began with a 2–0 win over Blackpool in the League Cup. Immediately following Ramos' appointment, it was made clear in the public forum that he was very unhappy with the fitness of the team and instigated a new diet and fitness regime. Tottenham's league form began to improve and their progress in the League Cup began with a 2–0 win over Manchester City, which ended City's unbeaten home record.

On 27 January 2008, Spurs went out of the FA Cup in the fourth round to a 3–1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United at Old Trafford. Tottenham took the lead through Robbie Keane but eventually lost to United to a goal from Carlos Tevez and two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, one of which was a penalty where Michael Dawson was sent off for a deliberate handball.

Tottenham's run in the League Cup continued with a semi-final first leg 1–1 draw against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium; a 5–1 win over Arsenal at White Hart Lane followed, resulting in a 6–2 Spurs aggregate victory. This booked a place in the final against Chelsea. Tottenham went on to win the match 2–1 thanks to a Jonathan Woodgate header in extra time, securing Tottenham's first trophy since 1999. It also guaranteed them UEFA Cup qualification for the third season running.

On 13 March 2008, Tottenham were eliminated from the UEFA Cup in the last 16 round by PSV. The first leg played at White Hart Lane was a 1–0 defeat for Spurs following a mistake from Gilberto. Dimitar Berbatov scored in the second leg away at the Philips Stadion to take the game to extra time and subsequently penalties. Here, Tottenham lost 6–5 when Pascal Chimbonda missed his kick.

On 22 March 2008, Spurs played Portsmouth, winning 2–0. Darren Bent struck the 100th goal of the 2007–08 Premier League campaign. Jamie O'Hara followed two minutes later with the club's 101st. BBC sport writer Ian Hughes noted that Tottenham have "an average of 3.63 goals in every Spurs game this season".

After earning a point on 19 April in a 1–1 draw against Wigan Athletic, Tottenham secured their mathematical safety in the Premier League after reaching 42 points. Berbatov's sixth-minute strike was Tottenham's 100th in all competitions that season, 64 in the Premier League and 36 in cup competitions. The season ended on 11 May 2008 with a 2–0 home defeat to Liverpool.

The 2008 Tennessee Republican presidential primary took place on February 5, 2008 (Super Tuesday), with 52 national delegates.  Mike Huckabee narrowly defeated John McCain to win the largest share of Tennessee's delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention.  Both McCain and the third-place candidate Mitt Romney received delegates along with Huckabee.

At of 10:15 PM ET on February 5, the Associated Press reported that with 44% of precincts reporting Huckabee and McCain were tied with about one-third of the vote each. Earlier, with 31% of precincts in, McCain had 34% support, Huckabee 31%, Romney 23% and Paul 6% support.

The City Paper reported that voter turnout could beat the state's record of 830,000 in 1988 when Al Gore was on the presidential ballot for the first time.

AP exit polls showed that Huckabee did well with born-again Christians and conservatives.

The 2008 West Virginia Republican presidential caucuses took place on  February 5, 2008, to select 18 delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention.  An additional nine delegates were selected in a primary election on May 13, 2008, for a total of 27 delegates to the national convention.  Mike Huckabee won the caucuses, and John McCain later won the primary.

Romney entered the caucus with the most pledged convention-goers, but delegates for McCain defected to Huckabee.  In the first round of caucusing, the results were Romney 464, Huckabee 375, McCain 176, Paul 118, Giuliani 0.  Since no candidate had a majority, Giuliani dropped out and the delegates took a second vote.  At this second vote, most Paul and McCain supporters, reportedly acting on commands from their coordinators, shifted to Huckabee, ensuring him the majority.  As a result of a deal with Huckabee's camp, Paul's delegates swung to Huckabee in exchange for 3 of the State's 18 national delegates.

The West Virginia caucus was the first of the 21 "Super Tuesday" contests to be counted, with the results being reported in the mid-afternoon.  Huckabee's win over the favored Romney was considered a major loss of momentum for Romney's campaign, while it revitalized Mike Huckabee's hopes for the nomination.

In the primary election, three delegates were awarded for each of West Virginia's three congressional districts.  The winner in each district was awarded all three of that district's delegates.  McCain, the presumptive nominee, easily won all three districts.

Results

February 5 Caucus

 As a result of the deal between Huckabee and Paul's delegates, 3 of the State's 18 delegates went to Ron Paul, although the election was technically a "winner-take-all."

Anders Nordberg (born 17 February 1978) is a Norwegian orienteering competitor. He received a bronze medal at the 2004 World Orienteering Championship, and again a bronze medal in 2007. He finished second in the overall World Cup 2007.

Biography
Nordberg was born in Skien, a small town of 50,000 people in Telemark county, Norway. An avid sportsman, he had competed in cross-country skiing, track and field athletics, and football. He started training in orienteering relatively late, at the age of 14, and had no orienteering competitors in his family. However, already the next year he won a silver medal in the Norwegian youth championship in Hovedløpet.

After finishing school in 1997 he served for a year in the Royal Norwegian Navy. Then he began his studies at Agder University College, first for computer engineer (1998–2001) and then changed to the business administration and economics program (Siviløkonom, 2001 — 2005). In 2005, Nordberg completed his studies and became a professional sportsman, occasionally doing various part-time jobs. Before the 2006 World Orienteering Championship (WOC), he moved from Skien to Oslo. During the preparation, he trained in three high-altitude camps — two in winter in South Africa and one in summer in Italy. However, for the next WOC in 2007 he trained in Norway only. In orienteering, Nordberg specializes in long distance events. He is a football fan and an avid supporter of Norwegian club Odd Grenland and British Liverpool F.C.

Nordic and national championships
Nordberg collected three gold medals out of total four at Nordic championship in 2005, and received a silver medal in 1997. He won a gold medal at the 1996 National "night" championship, a silver medal in 2003, and a bronze medal in 2004. He was first at the 2006 National championships, and again in 2007 was awarded the King's cup. He was elected Orienteer of the year 2007 by Norwegian sports journalists.

International championships
Nordberg had started competing internationally only at the age of 25 at the Nordic Championship 2003 in Sweden, but failed to win any medal. The next year, he finished third in Västerås 2004 World Orienteering Championship (WOC) in the middle distance run. He also got a bronze medal in Kyiv 2007 WOC in the long distance event. By September 2009, his best career achievement is a silver medal at Olomouc 2008 WOC in the long distance run. Nordberg also competed in other orienteering disciplines with the best results being 11th in sprint at Vasteras 2004 WOC and 4th in relay at Kyiv 2007 Championship. He had participated in several European championships, but never got onto the podium — his best European result was 4th in relay in Roskilde 2004, Denmark.

Martin Johansson 2009 WOC injury

At WOC 2009 in Miskolc, Hungary, during the last leg of the relay race Thierry Gueorgiou (France), Michal Smola (Czech Republic) and Nordberg were close behind the lead runner, Martin Johansson (Sweden), when Johansson suffered a 12 cm deep penetrating trauma from a stick in his right thigh. While Nordberg ran for help, Gueorgiou and Smola pulled out the stick, harnessed the wound using a shirt and a GPS tracking strap and then carried Johansson to a road where Nordberg brought a physician to.

Clubs
Nordberg has represented the clubs Skien OK (1993–1999), Kristiansand OK (1999–2005), Bækkelagets SK (2006–2007), Halden SK (2008-2011) and Vaajakosken Terä from 2011.

The Forest of Birse is a remote upland area in the upper catchment of the Water of Feugh, which forms the south-western portion of the Parish of Birse, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.  It also forms the western part of the community of Finzean, but has a separate, complex history of landownership relating to its status as a commonty, which has involved a large number of disputes since the 16th century.  In more recent decades, the forest has been a popular destination for people from Aberdeen taking picnics, as it is the closest area of Highland scenery to the city.

Description
The eastern boundary of the Forest of Birse is marked by the Finlets and Laird's burns; two minor tributaries of the Feugh (itself a tributary of the River Dee) which join the river about 1 kilometre upstream from Woodend.  Otherwise the boundary generally follows the watershed of the Feugh, which runs along the tops of the following hills (clockwise from the south):  Baudnacauner, Cock Hill, Hill of Cammie, Mudlee Bracks, Tampie, Gannoch, Hill of St, Colm, Craigmahandle, Hill of Duchery, Brackenstake, Lamahip and Corybeg.  The Forest of Birse extends to approximately 35 square kilometres, and reaches its highest point at Gannoch (731 m).

The underlying bedrock of the Forest of Birse is granite, from which most of the soil in the area is derived.  However, a thick layer of peat has formed over many of the higher hills, creating extensive areas of blanket bog.  Historically, a 'Forest' was an uncultivated area set aside for hunting and was not necessarily wooded, and indeed Heather moorland is the principal habitat in the Forest of Birse.  However, native pine woodland has regenerated across approximately 5 square kilometres of the northern slopes of the Forest of Birse since the Second World War, principally on the Finlets, Lamahip and Bogturk hills.  There are also fragments of riparian woodland along many of the watercourses of the forest, containing a diverse range of native trees including birch, hazel, aspen and holly.  Within the Forest of Birse there are two small areas of cultivated land at Auchabrack and Ballochan, which also contain the forest's only inhabited buildings.  These comprise Birse Castle and three other houses.

The rich wildlife of the Forest of Birse includes the mountain hare, red and roe deer, red grouse, black grouse, golden plover, hen harrier, merlin, peregrine falcons, crossbills and the area is occasionally visited by golden eagles and capercaillie. Part of the area was declared an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International and there was an unsuccessful attempt to have part of the area designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the early 1990s.

History

The earliest inhabitants of the forest were mesolithic hunter-gatherers about 8000 years ago.  However, the first evidence of settlement comes from the Bronze Age, about 3000 years ago, in the form of field systems, clearance cairns and hut circles, of which there are several good examples in the Forest of Birse.  At this time, cereal crops were probably grown on areas that are now covered with heather.  At the beginning of the Iron Age there was a climatic deterioration and these farms were probably abandoned at that time and gradually reclaimed by nature.  The Forest of Birse remained uninhabited from then until the 17th century.

By the 10th century AD, the Forest of Birse (along with the rest of Birse) had become the personal property of the King of Scots, and was used as a Royal Hunting Forest.  Kenneth II hunted here in 995 AD and Kenneth III in 1005 AD.  In 1170, King William the Lion gave Birse to Matthew, Bishop of Aberdeen. The charter associated with this transfer is the first reference to the uninhabited Forest of Birse as a distinct area from the rest of Birse, where most of the population lived.  Over the following 400 years the Bishops allowed the inhabitants of the wider parish of Birse the common right to use the forest for the collection of timber and peat and for summer grazing.

The Bishop of Aberdeen sold off their properties in Birse between 1549 and 1620, around the time of the reformation.  All of the new landowners (and their tenants) were also granted the common right to use the forest for timber, peat and grazing.  The forest itself was sold to William Gordon of Cluny in 1585 and in 1610 the Gordons enclosed the best part of the common grazing, brought in tenant farmers and built a castle.  However, after falling into debt, the Gordons of Cluny sold the forest to William Douglas of Glenbervie in 1636 and in 1640 the other landowners in Birse burnt down Birse castle and drove the tenant farmers out of the forest in order to re-establish their common rights there.  In 1666 the forest was sold to the Earl of Aboyne.

In 1724 the Earl of Aboyne enclosed the land around Birse Castle again and once more tenant farmers were brought into the forest.  At around the same time, the Farquharsons of Finzean enclosed another area of land in the forest at Auchabrack, which had previously been the site of a shieling for one of their tenants.  This encroachment onto the common grazing led to legal disputes with the other landowners with rights in the forest, which were resolved by the Court of Session in 1755.  The ruling allowed the two enclosed areas to remain as the private property of the Earl of Aboyne and the Farquharsons of Finzean respectively, but reconfirmed the common rights of everyone in Birse over the remainder of the forest.

During the 19th century, the rise in the popularity and economic value of grouse shooting associated with the Victorian era led to a series of legal disputes over the hunting rights in the forest that were not fully resolved until 1897.  The final ruling was that, while the Earl of Aboyne owned the land in the forest, the hunting rights were divided between the Earl of Aboyne and the neighbouring estate of Ballogie, which had been bought by the Nicol family in the 1850s.  The division of hunting rights (which remains to this day) follows a line from the summit of Gannoch, down the Allanstank burn, along the Feugh to the Forest of Birse kirk and then along a track which runs north to Glencat.  Ballogie estate have the hunting rights to the south and east of this line (the majority of the forest).

In the same year as the final ruling on the hunting rights, the Earl of Aboyne sold the Forest of Birse to Joseph Robert Heaven, who rebuilt Birse Castle.  After Heaven died in 1911, the Forest of Birse was bought by Weetman Pearson, 1st Viscount Cowdray and became part of his Dunecht estate.  In 1978, ownership of Dunecht estates (including the Forest of Birse) was passed by the 3rd Viscount Cowdray to his younger son, Charles Pearson, who is the current owner.  The farmland at Auchabrack was sold by the Farquharsons of Finzean to the Nicols of Ballogie in 1938.

Throughout most of the 20th century, the Forest of Birse was largely treated as an extension of the two estates which shared the hunting rights, as the older, common uses, such as summer grazing, peat cutting and timber had largely fallen into disuse.  However, in the 1970s the regeneration of woodland in part of the forest and the felling of a small area of mature woodland by Dunecht estate raised awareness of the ancient common rights held by all the inhabitants of Birse parish, as the use of timber was one of these common rights.

After several years of negotiation, a historic agreement was reached in 1999, in which the ancient rights over the forest held by all the inhabitants of Birse parish were vested in a body known as Birse Community Trust, which uses these rights to manage the 5 square kilometres of woodland that is regenerating in the north-east part of the forest.  Ballogie and Dunecht estates continue to manage the remainder of the forest primarily for grouse shooting, and all three parties have regular meetings to discuss matters of common interest in the forest.

Hughie Mack (November 26, 1884 – October 13, 1927) was an American actor of the silent era. He appeared in more than 190 films between 1910 and 1928.

He was born in Brooklyn, New York. He was working as a mortician when he paid a casual visit to the Vitagraph studio in Brooklyn. His large frame and comical facial expression made Vitagraph's star comedian John Bunny laugh. As Picture Play Magazine reported, "The Vitagraph people decided that, if he was funny enough to amuse their star, he could also entertain the public. So he was hired." He later became a prolific character comedian in feature films.

In late 1927 he suffered heart failure and died in his sleep at his home in Santa Monica, California.

Earth in Flower is a 2008 book, a historical analysis of Khmer classical dance formerly known as the Royal Ballet of Cambodia. Over the past millennium, the women performers were living goddesses, priestesses, performers, queens, concubines, hostages and diplomats.

Research history

A wartime twist of fate during Cambodia's tumultuous Lon Nol regime made University of Hawaii researcher Paul Cravath one of the only Westerners in history to gain full access to the formerly sequestered troupe of royal dancers, their teachers, theater and archives. Following primary research in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos, the author spent ten years doing archival and primary research in the United States. After submitting the study as his doctoral thesis, the paper was only seen by a handful of researchers on microfilm available from UMI.

The primary sources that the Cambodian Ministry of Culture made available to the author were themselves unique. Even more critical was the time he gathered the information; between January and April, 1975. The author escaped Phnom Penh on a military transport with his research intact on April 6, 1975; the city fell to the Khmer Rouge on April 15, beginning one of the most destructive genocides in human history. Under the Khmer Rouge, most of the people and archives the author accessed were destroyed. It is estimated that 90% of Cambodia's dancers and teachers perished.

Beginning in 2005, the publisher and author collaborated to issue a publicly available edition of this research to add to the cultural record of the Cambodian people. The book edition of Earth in Flower contains the complete original thesis with additional photos, new graphics, and supplemental information.

Cover

The Meadows Museum of Art granted permission to feature Jean Despujols's artwork on the cover of Earth in Flower.

In the 1930s, Saem was a dancer with Princess Wongat Say Sangvann’s royal troupe in Phnom Penh. The princess married the youngest son of King Sisowath Monivong, Prince Yong Kath, when she herself was a royal dancer. Saem’s skill impressed the princess, who adopted her as a foster child. In 1937, Despujols painted Saem on the Rainbow Bridge at Angkor Wat where special dance performances were held; she holds her right hand in the classic gesture symbolizing a flower.

The interior page layout concept for this book was designed and developed by Sue Balcer.

Saem's "Cinderella story" embodies the history of the Cambodian dance tradition and the hope of Cambodia’s future. In ancient times, girls from all levels of society pledged their service to temples and to learning the dance. Saem's devotion to the art led to her royal adoption. Her story speaks to the modern Spirit of Cambodia, empowering women and men from every level in society to participate in the Khmer Renaissance.

Maharajadhiraj Mirza Maharao Sir Khengarji III Sawai Bahadur  (23 August 1866 – 15 January 1942) was a progressive and one of the longest ruling monarchs and also the longest ruling king of the Princely State of Kutch from 1875 to 1942.

During the latter part of Queen Victoria's reign, Sir Khengarji came to be appointed as an aide de camp to the Queen-Empress in her declining years, which excited some jealousy amongst the officials of the Government of India. He often travelled abroad to Europe and was noted for his personal relations with the members of the ruling houses there. Khengarji III was one of the very few Indian monarchs to attend all three Delhi Durbars – in 1877, 1903 and 1911. He was raised to the hereditary titles of Sawai Bahadur on 2 March 1885 and Maharao on 1 January 1918 by British.

Gyrid Olafsdottir of Sweden, also called Gyritha or perhaps Gunnhild (10th-century), according to legends was a Swedish princess and a Danish queen consort as the spouse of King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark.

Biography
In the sagas, Gyrid was the daughter of King Olof Björnsson of Sweden and Queen Ingeborg Thrandsdotter.

According to several sagas, her brother, Prince Styrbjörn Starke, accompanied her to Denmark in order to arrange her marriage to Harald Bluetooth. Styrbjörn Starke in turn married Tyra (Tyri Haraldsdatter), who was a daughter of Harald Bluetooth.

After the death of King Harald (around 985), nothing more is recorded about Gyrid.

The Danish historians Arild Huitfeldt (1603) and Jakob Langebek (1772) record Gyrid/Gyritha as one of the two wives of Harald Bluetooth - the other being Thora (Tófa ?).

The 2008 Alaska Democratic presidential caucuses took place Super Tuesday, February 5, 2008. This was the first time that Democrats in Alaska participated in Super Tuesday, and the large turnout forced at least one caucusing site to delay closing its doors far beyond the 6 p.m. deadline. The state had a total of 13 delegates at stake. Barack Obama won the Alaska Democratic Caucuses and secured 9 delegates to the Democratic National Convention while Hillary Clinton took 4 delegates. However, the caucus was non-binding, and Alaska's Democratic State Convention in May awarded Obama 10 pledged delegates.

Process
The Alaska Democratic Caucuses were open to all Alaska voters. Non-Democrats and unregistered voters could register or switch party affiliation at the meeting. At the caucus, voters "fanned out" to groups of supporters of their candidate. Then delegates to the state convention on May 24, 2008, were selected from these preference groups. At the district caucuses, candidates required a minimum support threshold of 15 percent to win delegates to the state convention. The same threshold applied at the state convention; candidates needed a support threshold of 15 percent to receive delegates at the Democratic National Convention.

However, the district caucus results were not binding on the state convention delegates. Therefore, although Obama only won 9 delegate votes in the caucuses, at the state convention he secured 10.  Unlike many caucus states, the actual number of votes in the Alaska caucuses was disclosed. Many states only tabulate state delegates or state delegate equivalents.

The state convention officially allocated the 13 delegates to the national convention. In addition, the state convention chose five superdelegates to attend the national convention. Superdelegates officially were not pledged to any candidate. However, all of Alaska's superdelegates endorsed either Clinton or Obama.

Analysis
Barack Obama scored a major victory in the Democratic Caucuses, winning by more than a three-to-one margin over Hillary Clinton.

The 2008 American Samoa Democratic presidential caucuses took place on February 5, 2008, also known as Super Tuesday.  Caucusing began at 11:00 am local time. The early time ensured that results would be reported that evening in the mainland United States.  Hillary Clinton won the caucus, the smallest of Super Tuesday's nominating contests.

The caucus drew a record turnout for the territory. A record-setting 285 caucus goers, who voted for their candidates at a hotel in the capital, Pago Pago, turned out for the caucus.  The caucus selected six pledged delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention; however, each delegate received only half a vote, so the caucus essentially determined the allocation of three delegate votes.  Since the pledged delegates were awarded proportionally, Clinton secured 2 delegates, with the third going to her opponent Barack Obama.

Results

American Samoa also sent 6 unpledged superdelegates to the national convention; 4 endorsed Senator Clinton while 2 endorsed Senator Obama.

Analysis
Arkansas, the state where Hillary Clinton served as First Lady during her husband Bill Clinton’s tenure as governor, gave Clinton her largest victory during the course of the Democratic Primary. She swept the state among every major demographic – age, gender, religion, income, and educational attainment. According to exit polls, 80 percent of voters in the Arkansas Democratic Primary were Caucasian and they opted for Clinton by a margin of 79-16 compared to the 17 percent of African Americans who backed Obama by a margin of 74–25.

Clinton carried every county in Arkansas by nearly two-to-one margins with the exception of three counties won by Obama: Crittenden, which contains West Memphis and is a part of the Memphis Metropolitan Area; and Lee and Phillips counties, both predominantly African American and located along the Mississippi River Delta.

The 2008 Idaho Democratic presidential caucuses were held on Super Tuesday, February 5, 2008, with 18 national delegates at stake. For the first time, caucuses were held in all 44 counties, all of them open caucuses organized at the county level rather than the precinct level.

The Idaho Democratic Caucus was overwhelmingly won by Barack Obama, who won 15 of Idaho's 18 delegates, 44 of the 45 county-level caucuses, and the support of 79.54 percent of caucus attendees statewide, his largest margin of victory in any state during the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary season. A handful of caucus attendees pledged to support John Edwards on the first ballot even though he had dropped out of the race the previous week; this residual support was sufficient to give him a third-place finish.

Each of Idaho's 44 counties held its own caucus except for Ada County, which held two: one for the part of the county in the First Congressional District, and the other for the part of the county in the Second Congressional District. Collectively, both Ada County caucuses (which convened at Qwest Arena in Downtown Boise) were notable for the unprecedented mass public participation which made them the largest caucus gathering of Super Tuesday 2008: 3,075 votes were cast by the constituents of the 1st Congressional District and 5,215 votes were cast by those of the 2nd Congressional District for a grand total of 8,290 votes cast at a single venue. Thousands of freshly printed ballots were rushed to those caucusing outside the arena in frigid weather. Much higher than anticipated attendance was also reported at other caucus locations throughout the state. Statewide some 28,000 people caucused, an order of magnitude increase over the approximately 5,000 who had caucused throughout Idaho in 2004

Process

Since at the time Idaho residents did not choose a political party preference at voter registration, the 2008 Idaho Democratic Caucus was open to all individuals who were or would have been qualified to vote in the general election in Idaho on November 4, 2008, including those who were not registered or who were not yet legally old enough to vote (but were going to be legally old enough to vote at the national election). Caucus attendees were required to sign a pledge that they planned on voting Democratic in the county in which they were caucusing. After signing in, participants either marked their first presidential preference or declared themselves uncommitted.

As in past years, the caucuses employed a 15-percent support threshold at the county level. If a candidate failed to meet that threshold on the first vote, the candidate was eliminated from consideration at the county level. A second vote was then taken with all participants free to declare or re-declare their support for any remaining candidate or for "Uncommitted." In 2008, Barack Obama was the only candidate to meet the threshold requirement on the first vote in several counties, most notably in Ada County. Clinton won the caucus vote only in one county: Lewis County in the Northern Panhandle of the state.

After the second vote, county caucuses were broken up into groups by candidate support. These groups then selected county delegates and alternates to the Idaho Democratic Party State Convention who were pledged but unbound by the results. The 2008 Idaho Democratic Party State Convention was held June 12–14, 2008, in Garden City.

Campaigning
Senator Barack Obama made a campaign stop at Taco Bell Arena in  Boise State University before Super Tuesday and told voters that he would not take their guns away.

The 734 votes assigned to 'others' in the table were awarded to Keith Russell Judd, who ran his 2008 presidential campaign from federal prison in Texas.  He would run against Barack Obama again in 2012, still from prison, winning ten counties in West Virginia, and coming in second with 73k votes to Obama's 106k votes in that state's 2012 democratic primary.

Analysis
Idaho, one of the most staunchly Republican states in the nation, is difficult to analyze for Democrats. The state delivered a massive three-to-one victory for Obama, his largest victory in the course of the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary.

The 2008 New Mexico Democratic presidential primary took place on February 5, 2008, with 26 national delegates at stake.

On February 12, 2008, counting was officially finished and Hillary Clinton was declared the winner.

Process

Although mass media called New Mexico's nominating contest as a caucus, the format was that of a party-run closed primary. Eligible voters included all registered Democrats as of January 4, 2008. Voting occurred between 12 noon and 7 PM Mountain Standard Time. Absentee ballots were available to any voter and were required to be returned by January 28. Delegates were then apportioned based on the results of the primary at the statewide and Congressional district levels, and were formally elected at district and state conventions in April based on the primary results.

Wolves of the North is a 1924 American Northern drama film serial directed by and starring William Duncan. This serial is considered to be a lost film.

The working title was The Free Traders and the film featured a polar bear cub named Pluto. Pluto had been “captured by a whaler" and ended up at Los Angeles Harbor where he was acquired by the Universal City Zoo. He played a pet of the "queen of the fur traders" (Esther Ralston).

Plot
As described in a film magazine, Alan Gray (Duncan), free trader, beats up Dan Martin (Rice) and Pierre DuPre (Bonomo), fur pirates, who accuse him of poaching. Grimwood Mears (Comstock), manager of the powerful North Company post, nearly loses his job because of the inroads made on the company's business by the Chester Post, the free trading company operated by Madge Chester (Ralston). Bob Hunter (Woods), manager of the Chester Post, is fired for drunkenness, and tries to abduct Madge, but is beaten up by Alan, whom Madge appoints as Bob's successor. Dan and Pierre rescue Bob from the lockup, steal Madge's furs, take Helen (Johnson), the daughter of Grimwood Mears, and, pursued by Alan, canoe down the rapids. Unable to battle the current, all are hurled over a high waterfall. Alan rescues Helen from the mad torrent after a terrific struggle in the water, and gets her safely ashore. Her father has been reinstated as manager of the post to Henry Allardyce's (Cecil) chagrin. The latter, his repulsive advances having been spurned by Helen, threatens to have his way with her, come what may. Meanwhile, Madge has been unsuccessful in evoking any declaration of love from Alan, but has wormed from him the secret of his mysterious trips to the interior.

Later, Madge accuses Alan of trying to double-cross her by stealing her furs and re-selling them to her. Alan sets out the next day to buy some furs at a distant settlement. Helen hears of the project through underground channels and sets out to beat him to his goal. Her sled overturns and she is attacked by wild wolves. Alan rescues Helen Mears from the wolves and goes on to Eagle Bird's tepee, where he trades for the Indian's furs. Helen has an Indian girl put quinine in the tea Alan has traded for the pelts, the Indians think it is poisoned and attack Alan. Helen, regretting her underhanded trick, saves Alan, and they return to their respective Posts. Alan beats off two fur pirates who have attacked Helen, and they later steal his cached furs in revenge. Joe Peters, accused by Alan's tripper of stealing the furs, stabs his accuser and escapes, pursued by Alan. Helen follows to help Joe escape, but Alan overtakes the fugitive before she catches up. They fight in a small cabin, and, just as Helen arrives, a huge snow slide engulfs the hut. Alan, Joe, and Helen dig their way out of the cabin. Helen accidentally shoots Alan, who fakes a fall and takes her gun away so she cannot rescue Joe. Meanwhile, Madge has told Simon Blake (Homans), a "fence," that Alan Gray is an assumed name. Blake helps her recover the furs stolen from her by pirates. Mears and his men hold-up Alan and release Joe; but Alan pursues him until he loses the trail. He returns to the Post just in time to start off on a race with the rival Post's tripper to get Me Pa See's furs. Alan's sled gets beyond control and he and it top- ple over a steep cliff. Later episodes further describe Alan's adventures and the rivalry between the two trading posts.

The 2008 North Dakota Democratic presidential caucuses took place on February 5, 2008, one of the many Super Tuesday nominating contests held that day.  Barack Obama won the caucuses, securing 8 out of 13 national delegates.

Process

The caucus was a party-run primary, with over 100 locations throughout the state, held between 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm Central Standard Time. Eligible voters included all eligible voters who cast a ballot for a Democrat in the last general election or planned to in the next election, and would not cast a ballot in the Republican caucus. All voters were required to sign a statement of eligibility, but their status was not otherwise checked. All ballots were secret, and unlike most caucuses, North Dakota's featured no physical division into preference groups.

Actual delegates were apportioned at Legislative District conventions held in February and March based on the results of the caucuses in each legislative district. At the state convention in April, delegates from the Legislative District conventions selected pledged delegates to the national convention.  A minimum 15% threshold was required at the local caucus, legislative district, and state convention levels. A unique feature of the North Dakota Dem-NPL process was that delegates were elected from Preference Caucuses which may or may not relate to candidates. National convention delegates were elected by an Education Caucus; a Labor Caucus; the Prairie Campaign for Economic Democracy; and Uncommitted, among others. Any group wishing to affiliate and could secure 15% of the state convention votes was allowed to elect two national convention delegates. The delegation was supposed to give collective good-faith consideration to the Feb. 5 presidential preference caucus, which elected no delegates to the district or state conventions.
