Topics of discussion this a.m. — Peachtree Ridge, Lovejoy, Coffee, McEachern, Alpharetta, and the wild west that is Region. 8.
First, Peachtree Ridge.
It's been four years since the Ridge won a playoff game, five since it played in the state championship game against Camden County, seven since it won the state title.
The Lions stamped themselves as contenders again Friday with their 31-30 victory over fifth-ranked Mill Creek. They've matched their 2012 win total with a 4-0 start, burying the memory of last season's losing record, the program's first since 2004.
Peachtree Ridge running back Jordan Ellis, who has committed to Virginia, rushed for 143 yards and three touchdowns, and Mill Creek missed a potential tying extra point in the final two minutes.
- Now, to Lovejoy. The Wildcats, ranked No. 4, beat East Coweta 39-35 on a late touchdown pass after trailing 35-20. The week before, Lovejoy beat Alpharetta 24-23. Is this reason for concern? It might be that East Coweta is decent, too.
- Speaking of Alpharetta, the Raiders avenged their only region loss from 2012 and beat West Forsyth 31-14. They're probably the team to beat in Region 6.
- No. 2 McEachern beat Marietta 43-30 and helped justify their high ranking. Remember that McEachern hasn't made it out of the second round since 1999.
- Also remember this fact for future reference: Milton (4-0) has not won a region title since 1952.
- Coffee, ranked last week for the first time since 2008, struggled to beat Mundy's Mill 18-14. Recall that Lovejoy beat Mundy's Mill 41-12 despite sitting three defensive starters.
And finally, what might be our top story, but buried here because it takes some time to explain: What's up with Region 8?
Since 1993, Grayson, Parkview, Brookwood and South Gwinnett have won or shared every championship in Region 8 of Georgia's highest classification. The revolution continued Friday. The big four is now 2-13 on the season.
Here is how the state's most volatile region was turned upside down again:
- Parkview, a quarterfinalist last season, lost to Archer 27-7 and is 0-4 for the first time since 1986. Archer is a 4-year-old school that has never been ranked or won a playoff game but sits atop the region with a 4-0 record overall, 2-0 in region play.
- Grayson, the defending champion, lost 14-7 to Dacula, which was 1-9 last season and previously winless (0-5) against Grayson. Grayson is 1-3, and its streak of six 10-win seasons is endangered. Dacula, under new coach Tommy Jones, now shares the region lead with Archer at 2-2, 2-0.
- South Gwinnett, 9-3 last season, lost to cross-town rival Shiloh 21-14 and fell to 1-3. South Gwinnett had won 11 of the past 12 in the series, including 31-0 last season, a loss that sent Shiloh on an 0-7 slide.
- Berkmar lost 15-12 to Central Gwinnett. Berkmar entered the game 3-0. Central was 0-2. Central won despite less than 100 yards in total offense.
- Brookwood (0-3) sat Friday out. The Broncos play Parkview next week in the resumption of what formerly was metro Atlanta's best rivalry.

East is more than decent. They are a fine ball team. Region 1 better be ready in the 2nd season. Region 3 is looking more competitive than last season. The only thing Lovejoy needs is time. We are young. Not much is being said about that. Talk about other young teams is abundant but not about ours.
Concern? Yes. Worry, no. Isn't the name of the game is to win?
September 21st, 2013
10:09 am
One thing about it, this time next week either Brookwood or Parkview one will not be winless.
Lowndes won 63-0, again playing our BTeam the entire second half.
Speaking of running up scores, Valdosta led Newton 31-0 at the half last night, then opened the second half with an on-sides kickoff.
Some really big games this week in region 1-6A. They say it's hog killing time.
September 21st, 2013
10:43 am
Rush Propst was at the Lowndes game last night, according to FaceBook, with his trophy wife (you know, the one he had 3 kids with while still married to his 1st wife). He sat on the visitors side, on the 45 yard line on row three, directly across from the Lowndes coaches. He had a yellow legal pad and feverishly wrote down plays and alignments. Was that cheating? Was he "stealing signals?" Nope, he didn't have binoculars! Oops, my bad! Guess he was just publicly reminding the world how the Colquitt B of E sold their souls to win football games.
September 21st, 2013
10:59 am
I saw Propst last night, sideline observer. He WAS stealing signals though. But just like last year when he raised such a ruckas after Lowndes whipped his Hogs in Moultrie, it was not illegal!I did NOT see Buzz Payne last night though. But I'm sure he'll be cloned by several thousand binocular clad folks next week at Martin Stadium.
September 21st, 2013
11:08 am
All I have to say is keep an eye on Region 5 Teams. Especially Milton, Etowah, and Waltpn. Also What Region would play Region 5 teams in the 1st round of the playoffs?
September 21st, 2013
11:25 am
First, Peachtree Ridge : Since scrimmages don't count, I can't say what I think of the Ridge. It was the only time I have had an opportunity to see them. If they have the same personnel as when I saw them, and are doing the same things I saw, they are going to have problems. I know what I saw.
Played Alpharetta last week. If their Qb vs Lovejoy was their #2, they must have a screw loose. He is noy swift a foot but he gets the ball to a nice pair of receivers. Daniel Clements, #86, is a good one. Their tightend, #11 is also worthy of note.
I still like Mceachern. They look good on the field. They carry themselves like a team. It seems their mentality is just right. Put that with talent and coaching and you have a winner.
Although Coffee had to fight to take Mundy's Mill, a team we beat 41-12, I still like them in region 1. They may get some help from another but it is, in my opinion, theirs to lose. I know what MM brought to the table and that is no slouch. Those kids would be at Lovejoy now.
Region 8 == I'm Loving this. Always being the end of the soft, cupcake, mush, puddy, weak and sorry comments, I now get to dish. Looks like my earlier question about the possibility of certain teams representing this region just may come to pass.
September 21st, 2013
11:28 am
@ Region 5 Football == That would be Region 7.
September 21st, 2013
12:18 pm
@ Sportsnut, you are crazy if you think region 1 is Coffee's to lose. I admit that they are doing very well this year, but region play had not started yet. Coffee might be the fourth best team in the region behind Camden, Colquitt, and Lowndes. But I guess we shall see in the coming weeks.
September 21st, 2013
12:36 pm
I may just be crazy. I could be wrong though. I, for some reason believe it will come down to Camden or Coffee. I think Lowndes is not that good. That loss, to date, is Newton's only win. You are correct in that the region is just starting but you have to remember that all teams change each season and are not always what they were. Take a look at region 8.
I think many teams lost a ton of talent last year and this is an overall down year for the states elite. North Gwinnett is looking better by far than everyone else. That makes it more interesting for me. Many fans think their teams should do this or that but things change.
September 21st, 2013
1:14 pm
those who can coach should coach and the other should leave. you laugh when I said before the first game maybe win four or five games. wait till next year new coach.
September 21st, 2013
2:51 pm
The way it looks right now , it's NG and McEachern…..The only hope for the rest of 6A is if both NG and McEachern are on the same side of the palyoff brackets.
September 21st, 2013
4:18 pm
Reeze, if NG and Mac each hold serve, they would meet in the semis
September 21st, 2013
4:26 pm
@sports nut = I like the way u refuse to mention the only team from our region that has defeated u guys two times. U say Coffee is the team to beat in region 1AAAAAA wow. Honestly we are the only team in the region that could have defeated u guys last year and this yr but u think we don't have a chance at winning the region C'mon man. U are way too smart of a guy to think this way. Being salty is causing u to think this way so I get it.
September 21st, 2013
5:29 pm
I was at Coffee Mundy Hills game..Both teams played well but alot of flags on both teams . Mundy Hills has a very good young team and GREAT fans. Coffee is very young and has a true freshman QB …plays 3 or more 9th graders. They will get alot better but the Hogs, Camden and Vikings are the teams to beat.. But Coffee will never quit anymore they will fight till the end. Coach said it was Homecoming and they practiced bad all week..no excuses..Lets play ball.
September 21st, 2013
7:05 pm
Sportsnut, Coffee will not win Region 1 this year.
Colquitt- May not be explosive, but they know how to keep games close with that defense and close out close games.
Camden- Young team with speed to burn, but they have pedigree and know how to win. They have the backs to make that Wing T thing effective. If they can get that defense together.
Lowndes- A mirror image of Camden, may not be as explosive as Camden but like Camden they know how to win.
Valdosta-Look similar to Colquitt, relies on a defense to be effective. Unlike Colquitt, Valdosta can explode with the big plays.
Coffee- Young, but they have a never give up attitude. Very fast on defense and relies on that defense to setup their offense.
With that being said, hard to say who will win Region 1, Valdosta is in Camden Friday. Colquitt and Lowndes travel to Camden this year, so there will be 3 huge games in Camden this year. This may be an awesome year for Region 1, why? the disparity in the region. However I will not count any of the top 4 from making a run to state. Man I Love high school football.
September 21st, 2013
8:26 pm
What can I say ? I think they will win their share of region games and they will get help.
@ WildHawg2012 == I am not refusing to mention them. I like them. I may be fooling myself and I could be completely wrong. Just a feeling. Until someone knocks you guy's off, you are clearly the consensus favorites in region 1.
There are more teams this year capable of taking the crown. It will be a surprise to some when the 1st round is complete. You can not say this team or that team is superior. North Gwinnett looks the part but we still have a lot of football to play.
@ i'mjustsayinwhati'msaying == In line one, you say "Coffee will not win region 1″. In line 13, you say "With that being said, Hard to say who will win region 1″. So you admit Coffee has a chance?
September 21st, 2013
11:36 pm
i think if north can beat peachtree ridge and mill creek they will be state champions they will carry them big wins into playoffs go dogs
September 22nd, 2013
1:28 am
@ Sportsnut…Have you checked out the playoff brackets? Possible 3rd round rematch.
September 22nd, 2013
1:38 am
@ bighoss…Those games will be a challenge, but NG owns both of those teams. They are a combined (1-17) against NG since both of those schools opened. MC is (0-8) and PTR is (1-9) vs NG. North will be fine.
September 22nd, 2013
7:12 am
@ NGHS09 == A rematch would be nice. We both have much work to do first. North is heads and shoulders above the rest right now. Looking good. Lets hope we can do it again.
September 22nd, 2013
7:23 am
The Mundys Mill game was bizarre. If a flag was not thrown on every play, the officials would gather over the ball and confer for 30-45 seconds. Coffee never got their up-tempo going. Mundys Mill is a good team. They gave Coffee all they wanted and played clean and hard.
Does Coffee have a chance to get a play-off spot? Yes. Are they the favorite? No, They are a young team in uncharted waters but they did get a very needed wake-up call Friday,
We start finding out who's who this weekend, No one is talking about Tift who almost came back, it appears, against TCC,
Let's play some football!
September 22nd, 2013
7:39 am
NGHS09 yeah I think you need to know that what's happened in the past doesn't always happen in the present. MC and PR are both capable of beating NG. NG has a tendency to look OHHHHHHHHH so good then all of a sudden run into somebody that will hit them in the mouth and they slink away. Now there's some history you can examine.
September 22nd, 2013
8:17 am
@sportsnut = Alpharetta, back up QB is good, but starter QB has better arm, more accurate and mobile. Any of these two QB's could start in another school.
September 22nd, 2013
9:32 am
avikingfan Its called scouting your upcoming opponent look it up. Not stealing signals. Stealing signals is when you have a former coach next to the press box with binoculars relayin signals just in case you got confused @sideline observer how may times did propst get up and go potty or did he pick his nose too. GET OVER YOU SELF by the way im sitting in recliner in front of tv with computer in lap typing nonchalantly!
September 22nd, 2013
10:00 am
@ Alphafan == The guy that played against us was accurate enough for me. He was only off when we got pressure on him. He did a great job. Are they both in the same class?
@ CoffeeC100 == Imagine those kids from Mundy's Mill at Lovejoy. That is where they started. They were in trailers on Lovejoy's front lawn. Now they are about 5 miles to the north. It was built to relieve overcrowding at Lovejoy.
September 22nd, 2013
11:11 am
@CoffeeC100 I went to the Tift TCC game and Tift didnt look that good. The score should have been worse. Lets just say they will give Brunswick a run for there money. No offense! After the start that they had i was expecting way more.
September 22nd, 2013
1:05 pm
The Region 1 season starts this week. We'll start to see some separation pretty soon………RELEASE the…….Say it with me……..CATS!!!!
September 22nd, 2013
4:05 pm
FAN…tifton started out in similiar fashion last year…they started 2-1 and whipped houston last year and worth also. I wasnt buying it. Tcc is a pretty good team, not a great team.
September 22nd, 2013
7:53 pm
@BK – You may have wanted to wait and see how Valdosta makes out against Camden this week before saying TCC is just "Pretty good". I believe TCC turned the ball over 5-6 times and still put Tift away. Or maybe Tift may be a little better than you think. After all. Something usually causes turnovers. No. You know what? I think you're right after all. Why don't you tell the Vikes they can have a "let down" against Tift. You know. Rest up between the Coffee and Camden away games.
@ FAN – Thanks for the info. I read the game summary on the Tifton Gazette web page. Sounds like The Blue Devils benefited from a lot of turnovers by TCC. Or it could be Tift just had a bad night like Coffee. See you down in Tifton Friday night.
I am so excited about Region 1 play starting. The historic favorites are still the favorites. And rightly so. I do think Region 1 has six teams that can each win on a given night. Team defense may turn out to be very important this year. It could come down to tiebreakers to set the play-off seedings.
Considering the quality of opponents, I feel Coffee is very fortunate to have made it through the first four games with no serious injuries. The strength and conditioning program seems to really be paying off.
Again my condolences to The Packers on losing Pittman.
How is everyone else in the region doing health wise?
Let's play some football!
September 22nd, 2013
8:09 pm
@ole ram – Somehow I knew after not showing up last week when we won you would be here this week when we lost. Too bad you can't support your team when they are down as well as up. Awful quick to dis the coach and team. SMH. The team needs support especially after having our QB go down with a major concussion. Did you even know that?
September 23rd, 2013
1:54 am
@ Playoff Vet…Well you could look at it that way, but NG doesn't lose to either of those teams…and history shows that…so your comment is irrelevant, as well as your comment about NG losing once they get "hit in the mouth". Have you ever seen NG play? They are always the ones doing the hitting. Sphire and company have always had PTR's and MC's number. Oh yeah, one more thing…NG doesn't hardly lose in the regular season, and they've never played MC or PTR in the playoffs, so I like NG's chances in regards to your comment. Should be a good playoff race from here on out.
September 23rd, 2013
1:55 am
@ Playoff Vet… Note: PTR and MC are capable of beating NG every year…but do they? Speculate all you want.
September 23rd, 2013

@Sportnut= both QB's are Juniors.
September 23rd, 2013
8:20 am
Fall is finally here and now it's HOG KILLING TIME!
September 23rd, 2013
8:55 am
@ Applefan88 == Thanks. That bodes well for the future. I know Clements will be leaving but what about that # 11. He is a pretty good receiver.
September 23rd, 2013
8:56 am
**I think Clements will be leaving. Am I correct?
September 23rd, 2013
9:04 am
I carefully drove the "secret" way to get to Parkview High School for the Archer game last Friday night out of habit (one never travels on Five Forks Trickum or River Road to get there). I guess I did out of memory. There was no necessity. In 2002 there was a line of people double the length of the Parkview parking lot waiting to get into the stadium before it opened at 5 PM, two and one half hours BEFORE the 7:30 game to decide the State Championship. Such navigational capabilities were essential once upon a time to avoid waiting for what seemed like hours. Used to have to park in a neighborhood far away. Friday I just parked in the nearby elementary school lot. There were plenty of parking places. How times have changed. This Friday, Parkview will play Brookwood. Neither has a victory. Bring coffee and NoDoz.
September 23rd, 2013
9:35 am
@Sportsnut = Clemens is a senior. #11 is a Junior.
September 23rd, 2013
10:25 am
@ GwinnettDad == There are not many times like that around here. Although our first game at home was an exception. Mundy's Mill is not quite 5 miles from Lovejoy and many, if not all the kids know each other. The fire marshal closed the gates with about 200 or so trying to get in late in the first quarter.
I loved that. Since I live so close to the stadium, traffic is no problem but I like those type of games. The atmosphere is terrific. We don't play anyone else in the county but Morrow so we don't get the gates like we used to when we had Jonesboro, North Clayton, Riverdale and Mt. Zion in our region.
I'm sure it was a welcome relief, to a certain extent.
September 23rd, 2013
10:25 am
Thanks 88
September 23rd, 2013
10:36 am
@ 74 == Are you guy's ready? It's football time. The learning curve is getting straighter. It's time to get down to business. This is going to be an interesting season. Look at region 8 and you will see it already is.
September 23rd, 2013
11:37 am
Alpharetta is the team to beat in region 6 Their qb's are good the one that played in Lovejoy is more accurate and gets ball out quick to the open guy won't wow. The other has the bigger arm and measurables but doesn't make the best choices when the heat is on. Too bad both are juniors.
Ridge is for real athletes at skill position very good Rb Lovejoy is young all over but they still play hard so won't be an easy win for any team not named BG or McEachern. This should be an interesting season.
September 23rd, 2013
11:43 am
Arm won't wow* NG not BG*
September 23rd, 2013
11:48 am
Sportsnut……..From my info, they're about as ready as they're going to get. They'll continue to get better with each game. But right now, it's learning on the job. I expect a shoot out, with the team being more consistent on defense coming out on top. Camden's defense is a work in progress, but once things click, it's on! Just don't know how long that's going to take………RELEASE the CATS!!!!

September 23rd, 2013
12:47 pm
High School Football is in the air. Parkview vs Brookwood. Valdosta vs Camden. Tift vs Coffee. Lowndes vs Colquitt. I love this time of the year!
September 23rd, 2013
12:52 pm
@ 74 == I hope they are. We are also still learning. I think we are a bit apprehensive on D for some reason. We will put points on the board but we have to learn to hit better. Lots of attempted arm tackles have been the reason for the points allowed. They just don't have that "Lovejoy Swag" yet.
I hope they get it between now and Thursday.
September 23rd, 2013
1:06 pm
@ 74 == I am wondering about Valdosta and what they bring. They seem to be putting up a lot of points on people. We'll find out if they are that productive come Friday, I guess.

SPOKANE, Wash.-- Spokane County authorities arrested two people into believed to be involved in selling drugs.
On Thursday, a Spokane Valley Sheriff's deputy was observing a well known drug house near 300 N. Argonne when he called in for extra help. He observed multiple hand to hand transactions with people in the driveway of the home, he believed to be drug deals.
Deputies followed three cars as they left the home with drivers believed to have been involved in the transactions. As one deputy attempted to pull over Daymond Nearpass, 26, he watched him reach under the front seat. As he searched the car, he found a golf ball sized amount of methamphetamine. He also located a scale and plastic baggies commonly used to package illegal drugs to sell. Nearpass said he had no idea where the large amount of methamphetamine came from, according to authorities.
A second deputy attempted to stop Ronald Hanson, 29, but he failed to pull over his car. The deputy followed Hanson as he drove at a high rate of speed on Interstate 90 before getting off on the Broadway exit. A third deputy joined in the pursuit and successfully stopped the car using a pit maneuver.
Hanson was booked into the Spokane County Jail on the charge of Felony Eluding, as well as, an unrelated misdemeanor Driving While Suspended warrant. His driving status was suspended as well.
Nearpass was booked into jail on the felony charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver.

Individuals who have a concern for their personal safety and security in walking on the campus may call the University Police at 231-8998.

Escorts are conducted by NDSU police officers and/or public safety officers and may be performed by walk-along escorts or by vehicle transport. The University Police will reserve the right to refuse this service if it is deemed by the information obtained from the requestor that the reason is not justified for personal safety and security needs, that the requestor does not provide the necessary name and identification, or if the escort is not deemed to be either from NDSU facilities or property for which it has a responsibility or to a location which is not deemed to be in the immediate vicinity of the university responsibility. NDSU will try to accommodate locations for drop off which are in the immediate vicinity of NDSU's responsibilities with a general guideline being locations immediately adjacent to NDSU property lines, excluding any alcohol establishments.

Researching documentaries is huge work. I visit thousands of sites in researching a film, and there is a lot of good stuff out there. I picked a handful of some of my favorites that keep me informed on the stories that are not in the mainstream media, and sites that keep my creative juices flowing…
1. Sub-Media- "Good Morning Slaves!" There are few sites we crowd around at my house quite like Sub Media. We laugh, we cry, we get informed, we get angry, and we get organized. Sub Media videos are full of great interviews, timely coverage, and witty, right on analysis of the crazy world we live in. Sub Media is also the mastermind behind the END:CIV film, one of my favorite radical docs at the moment that "examines our culture's addiction to systematic violence and environmental exploitation…" http://submedia.tv/endciv
2. Montreal Media Co-op (http://montreal.mediacoop.ca), Vancouver Media Co-op (http://vancouver.mediacoop.ca), and Toronto Media Co-op (http://toronto.mediacoop.ca). This is where the real independent news from the grassroots is happening. This is where I turn when I want to get the low down on what is happening in this country that we aren't being told about. The co-ops haven't been around for long but they are really making waves. Tune in for what's going on in your city, get involved in creating the news, and support this amazing initiative to continue growing in a time when the information is often controlled by a very few corporate powers. In the same vein as the media co-op, I must mention The Dominion (http://www.dominionpaper.ca), the progressive grassroots national magazine with longer stories and diverse coverage and writers from across the country. A vital independent resource to documentary maker.
3. Oil Sands Truth: Shut Down the Tar Sands (http://oilsandstruth.org) This was an invaluable resource while I was researching H2Oil. Great information and analysis, maps and other useful links in understanding the largest industrial project in human history – right in our backyard. There is so much research and NGOs to wade through, Oil Sands Truth cuts right to the chase…I've also listed more links to oil sands research and websites on http://h2oildoc.com
4. Indigenous Environmental Network - This site has great information, analysis, and resources grounded in indigenous perspectives on environmental and economic justice issues. IEN is a great network and resource for any political work being done in a North American context. www.ienearth.org
5. Cinema Politica - If you want to know what documentaries people are making that are tackling some of the most relevant issues of our time, go no further than Cinema Politica. The offerings of public screenings with debate across the country (and now the world) are really incredible. An absolutely vital resource in the documentary world. www.cinemapolitica.org
6. Walking Turcot Yards (http://neath.wordpress.com) - I really enjoy this blog and read it frequently when researching St-Henri, the 26th of August. There is a huge span of information that has been accumulated by Neath since the 1990s on the south west of Montreal. Through his blog roll, I stumbled on some other great resources about Montreal, such as the amazing Under Montreal documenting those who explore our urban underground (www.undermontreal.com) and The Turcot Mobilization (http://mobilisation-turcot.info/en/index.html) the community project fighting for a sustainable and healthy direction for the eventual demolition of the Turcot interchange.
7. NFB/ONF's beta site. I know this has been mentioned before, but it deserves a second mention. I just can't get enough of this site. It was here that I watched the original St-Henri film a bunch of times (Saint-Henri le 5 septembre), and also dug around to see some of the cinema-direct films from the 60s and 70s that I hadn't seen yet. It's totally an amazing resource for filmmakers and for the public. Run don't walk if you have yet to see Quebec classics like Pour la suite du monde, La Lutte, Les aquetteurs, Golden Gloves, Rouli-Roulant… Or the great Challenge for Change films like The Ballad of Crowfoot, Encounter at Kwacha House, Cree Hunters of Mistassini, VTR St-Jacques… Or life-changing films like Rocks at Whisky Trench and Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance…There is so much great stuff… www.onf.ca
8. Kickstarter has become a site I wander around in, and check out what creative people all over the place are up to. There are some really great projects getting started here, and it's amazing to have direct contact with the artists, filmmakers and writers themselves. In these tough times models like this help us think out of the box about how to make and distribute our own work. www.kickstarter.com
9. Hot Docs Library- I'm really into this new offering by Hot Docs to watch films online. To my delight I finally got to re-watch the amazing film by Allan Zweig, I, Curmudgeon and plan to spend lots more time here. www.hotdocslibrary.ca
10. FRIENDS! What would a top hits list be without a few shout outs to those amazing artists, musicians, filmmakers and projects that make Montreal an incredible city to live and work in. Those I've had the pleasure to collaborate with include: Parabola Films (http://parabolafilms.ca), Little Scream (www.littlescream.com), La Moustache (www.lamoustache.ca), Loki Design (http://lokidesign.net), James Braithwaite (www.thebathwater.com), Wide Open Exposure (www.wideopenexposure.com), Kaveh Nabatian (http://kavehnabatian.com), Constellation Records (http://cstrecords.com), Patrick Watson (www.patrickwatson.net), Clea Minaker (http://cleaminaker.wordpress.com), Les projections libérante (http://casaobscura.org)… And, and, and, so many more…

From the time I was 9, to the time I was 13, my favorite show in the world was Avatar: The Last Airbender.
If you had put a gun to my head, or a million bucks in my hand, I wouldn't have admitted it.
When I was a kid, cartoons were looked down on, seen as something only for small children. Transitioning from a kid to a tween usually means leaving behind beloved childhood interests as fast as possible. Your life becomes various ways of proving your adulthood and maturity, and cartoons usually don't fit in with that. Because of that I found myself growing frustratingly in love with a series that kids my age were just starting to look down on. Of course, I had seen Teen Titans, Batman Beyond,JL and JLU, Spongebob, and Disney, all of which nurtured my early love for animation. But there were also a lot of shows out that talked down to kids, and cared less about the integrity of the stories because they were aimed at children. Because of this, a lot of people got it into their heads that: Cartoons= for kids, and for kids=bad writing.
Avatar proved all of that to be totally wrong. Here was this show that had kids around my age, growing up and changing the world, making mistakes and making up for those mistakes. It was funny, heartbreaking, poignant, and beautiful. I found myself obsessively watching and re-watching the show, all the while obsessively making sure nobody knew how much I loved it. ( I tried to keep it from my parents, but when I was 9, I think I was pretty transparent. I clearly remember practicing my airbending by sticking my hands out of open car windows, and practicing my waterbending with a hose or a pool in the summertime) I had a secret-keeper in the form of my little sister, and I swear we never got along better than when we were watching Avatar together.
Avatar totally changed the way I looked at cartoons, stories, and life in general. It was a huge part of my formative years, and definitely had a hand in me growing up.
I see Green Lantern: The Animated Series as being a successor to that excellence in animation.
GLTAS never condescends to children, and in the same vein never excludes them. It excites and delights, it teaches and it entertains. I've seen the eyes of the children I babysit light up the same way mine did when it comes on, just as eager as I was to see a new episode.
They laughed when Kilowog pranked Hal with Ch'p, they cheered when Hal fought back against Atrocitus,they gasped while Razer choked, and they grew to love Aya as she grew herself.
GLTAS is special. Not only is it well written and thought out, it's beautiful to look at, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It isn't just an excellent children's cartoon, it's an overall excellent show in general. It defies stereotypes; Ilana wears a hijab garment with no fuss or negative connotation, and Carol and Aya are not prizes to be won, but strong independent female characters with their own important narratives. Hal, Kilowog and Razer are great male role models, who behave in masculine and feminine ways, never question the power of their female peers, and each go through a journey and react to the world in their own unique way. Characters make mistakes and are allowed to grow, they fight on and hold onto hope.
This show is so, so beautiful, and watching made me feel like I was experiencing Avatar as a kid all over again. Just like back then, I always make sure I never miss an episode, and I love talking about it and thinking about the characters. And somewhere out there, I know there is a little girl or boy on the edge of their teens who is hesitant about watching a cartoon, and GLTAS is changing their lives. It'll change them like it changed me, and they'll leave the story with a new love and appreciation for stories and cartoons.
Kids and adults alike deserve a show like GLTAS. A show with excellent themes, character progression, with a gentle humor and clever dialogue.
This show takes people to new planets and shows them the beauty of a different world, and it stays grounded and shows the truth about how people love, and how messages and causes can be misguided. It has so much heart, and is worth every view it gets.
I really want to thank the creators, from the bottom of my heart, for making GLTAS. If it's really goodbye, I couldn't have asked for more from the show, and if it was up to me, it would run however long you guys needed it to. I really loved it, and I know a ton of fans, old and young agree with me. What you made was truly special, and proves to audiences yet again that cartoons can tell great stories, and that stories aimed at children can be enjoyed by everyone.
I know that I'll never forget this show, and the way that it managed to tell such a beautiful story.
GLTAS means so much to me.

If you have NEVER been to Africa, when someone mentions "Africa" or you hear "Africa", what is the FIRST thing that comes into your mind?
People associate different regions/continent based on media, informational material, myths, stereotypes and such. The main idea of this discussion is to find out what people who never had "first hand experience" think about the continent. Thanks for your contribution.

Mar 22 2013: Hello Mary- "Carpetbaggers" (a plural term) is a contemptuous term describing persons who journey to an area which is in turmoil in quest of easy money, or power. They travel without much luggage so they can disappear quickly if need be, thus the term carpetbag. They are opportunists and exploiters who use questionable ethical methods to get what they want. They have no true desire to bring improvement. You are correct that the African people suffer because they are unaware of how life can be improved with cooperation, education and good, hard work. I tried to avoid stereotyping the African people, I hope you are not offended by my observations. Welcome to TED Conversations and thank you for a relevant question.
Mar 23 2013: Thanks for warm welcome. Wish we had virtual coffee we share.
Oh ...Great insight Edward. If now I think one of my brothers is trying to exhort cash from me..i.e hiking school fees, I will use the big word.."Carpetbaggers" and I bet it will work. Jokes aside, I am grateful for a clear, concise explanation.
To answer your concern; I am not offended at all. I am open minded person and I appreciate your observations, in fact in my experience there is to much truth to what you have said.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|This article is part of a series on the
|United States Senate
|History of the United States Senate
|Politics and procedure
A recess appointment is the appointment, by the President of the United States, of a senior federal official while the U.S. Senate is in recess. The U.S. Constitution requires that the most senior federal officers must be confirmed by the Senate before assuming office, but while the Senate is in recess the President may act alone by making a recess appointment to fill "Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate." To remain in effect, a recess appointment must be approved by the Senate by the end of the next session of Congress, or the position becomes vacant again; in current practice this means that a recess appointment must be approved by roughly the end of the next calendar year. Recess appointments are authorized by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which states:
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
According to Henry B. Hogue, of the Government and Finance Division of the Congressional Research Service,[1]
Recent Presidents have made both intersession (between sessions or Congresses) and intrasession (during a recess within a session) recess appointments. Intrasession recess appointments were unusual, however, prior to the 1940s. Intrasession recess appointments have sometimes provoked controversy in the Senate, and there is also an academic literature that has drawn their legitimacy into question.
It has been argued that as the clause was originally understood, it was expected that if the Senate was in session when an office became vacant, the president would make a standard advice-and-consent appointment at that time.[2] In Federalist No. 67, Alexander Hamilton wrote:[3]
The ordinary power of appointment is confined to the President and Senate jointly, and can therefore only be exercised during the session of the Senate; but as it would have been improper to oblige this body to be continually in session for the appointment of officers and as vacancies might happen in their recess, which it might be necessary for the public service to fill without delay [ ... ]
Another argument maintains that recess appointments were only to be made during intersession recesses, which during the early days of the country lasted between six and nine months, and were therefore required to prevent important offices from remaining unfilled for long periods. The current interpretation, this view holds, allows appointments to be made during recesses too brief to justify bypassing the Senate.
Historically, presidents tended to make recess appointments when the Senate was adjourned for lengthy periods. Since World War II, presidents have sometimes made recess appointments when Senate opposition appeared strong, hoping that the appointee might prove himself or herself in office and allow opposition to dissipate. Most recently, however, as partisanship on Capitol Hill has grown,[4] recess appointments have tended to solidify opposition to the appointee.[5]
There is currently a split among the circuits of the United States Courts of Appeals on the validity of intrasession appointments and on what vacancies can be filled using the Recess Appointment authority. Following the 2003 intrasession appointment of William H. Pryor, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, a small number of criminal defendants whose appeals were denied by panels including Pryor appealed on the basis that Pryor's appointment was invalid. The Eleventh Circuit, in an en banc decision in Evans v. Stephens[6][7] held that the Constitution permitted both intrasession recess appointments and recess appointments to fill vacancies that "happened" prior to, rather than during, the congressional recess.
However, National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning, Circuit docket 12-1115 in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit appealing a decision made by National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) members appointed in what the President determined was an intrasession Recess was decided in a 3 member panel decision on 25 January 2013 that intrasession appointments were unconstitutional because the word 'the' before the word Recess in the Constitution was determined to mean to limit it to only the intersession Recess and it further limited the power by limiting it to only those vacancies that 'happen' to occur during the intersession break and not to vacancies that existed prior to the Recess.[8] Also, on March 16, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit joined the DC Circuit and held that the March 2010 appointment of Craig Becker to the NLRB was invalid because he was not appointed between sessions.[9]
Presidents since George Washington have made recess appointments. Washington appointed South Carolina judge John Rutledge as Chief Justice of the United States during a congressional recess in 1795. Because of Rutledge's political views and occasional mental illness, however, the Senate rejected his nomination, and Rutledge subsequently attempted suicide and then resigned.
New Jersey judge William J. Brennan was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956 through a recess appointment. This was done in part with an eye on the presidential campaign that year; Eisenhower was running for reelection, and his advisors thought it would be politically advantageous to place a northeastern Catholic on the court. Brennan was promptly confirmed when the Senate came back into session. President Eisenhower, in a recess appointment, designated Charles W. Yost as United States ambassador to Syria.[10] Eisenhower made two other recess appointments, Chief Justice Earl Warren and Potter Stewart.
George H. W. Bush appointed Lawrence Eagleburger Secretary of State during a recess in 1992; Eagleburger, as Deputy Secretary of State, had in effect filled that role after James Baker resigned.
According to the Congressional Research Service, President Ronald Reagan made 240 recess appointments, President George H. W. Bush made 77 recess appointments, President Bill Clinton made 139 recess appointments. President George W. Bush made 171 recess appointments, and as of January 5, 2012, President Barack Obama had made 32 recess appointments.[11]
Sometimes, especially when both houses of Congress are not controlled by a different party than that of the President, the Senate or House leadership will seek to block any potential recess appointments by not allowing the Senate to adjourn for more than three days, blocking a longer adjournment that would allow recess appointments to be made.[12] For example, during the last two years of the George W. Bush administration, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid prevented any further recess appointments. Bush promised not to make any during the August recess that year, but no agreement was reached for the two-week Thanksgiving break in November 2007. As a result, Reid did not allow adjournments of more than three days from then until the end of the Bush presidency by holding pro forma sessions.[13][14] Prior to this, there had been speculation that James Holsinger would receive a recess appointment as U.S. surgeon general.[15]
Over what would have traditionally been the 2011–2012 winter recess of the 112th Congress, the House of Representatives did not assent to recess, specifically to block Richard Cordray's appointment as Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.[16] As therefore required by the Constitution, both the House and Senate held pro forma sessions.[17] Regardless, on January 4, 2012, President Obama claimed authority to appoint Richard Cordray and others under the Recess Appointments Clause. White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler asserted that the appointments were valid, because the pro forma sessions were designed to, "through form, render a constitutional power of the executive obsolete," and that the Senate was for all intents and purposes recessed.[18] Republicans in the Senate disputed the appointments, with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stating that Obama had "arrogantly circumvented the American people" with the appointments. It was expected that there would be a legal challenge to the appointments.[19] The first such challenge was announced in April 2012, disputing a National Labor Relations Board ruling made following the Obama appointments.[20][21]
On January 6, 2012, the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion regarding recess appointments and pro forma sessions, claiming that "[t]he convening of periodic pro forma sessions in which no business is to be conducted does not have the legal effect of interrupting an intrasession recess otherwise long enough to qualify as a "Recess of the Senate" under the Recess Appointments Clause. In this context, the President therefore has discretion to conclude that the Senate is unavailable to perform its advise-and-consent function and to exercise his power to make recess appointments." [22][23] However, this was widely disputed.[24][25] On January 25, 2013, in the first circuit case to rule on the validity of the January 4, 2012, appointments, Chief Judge David Sentelle, writing for a unanimous three-judge panel for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, wrote "an interpretation of "the Recess" that permits the President to decide when the Senate is in recess would demolish the checks and balances inherent in the advice-and-consent requirement, giving the President free rein to appoint his desired nominees at any time he pleases, whether that time be a weekend, lunch, or even when the Senate is in session and he is merely displeased with its inaction. This cannot be the law." [26] There are about 30 other cases representing nearly every Circuit Court of Appeals around the United States pending as of 2013, trying to invalidate the actions of these appointees.[27]

This page provides information and advice on dealing with the eradication of fleas from your home or workplace.
Whilst the type of fleas which crop up in the average British household do not tend to be disease carriers, their intensely irritating bites can make life unpleasant for people.
Fleas are also extremely hardy and show remarkable persistence.
Fortunately, there are steps which you can take to avoid your home or workplace being infected.
Fleas are persistent
Nobody likes a parasite, but the flea shows remarkable persistence. Whilst they prefer certain host animals (hence cat flea, dog flea, human flea), they are not fussy when it comes to the next meal and will hop aboard any passer-by (man or beast) for a free lunch.
Cat fleas are the most common household variety, but not owning a cat does not guarantee you immunity.
Fitted carpets and central heating provide ideal conditions for fleas to develop quickly through their life cycle. Eggs laid on the host animal readily drop off wherever the animal goes, especially where it sleeps.
The larvae (1.5mm) hatch and feed on any organic debris they can find, after which they spin a silken cocoon from which they emerge as hungry adult fleas - all of this time is in the space of 4 weeks!
Fleas bite!
Whilst cat fleas are not implicated in the transmission of disease, their intensely irritating bites demand our urgent attention!
Cat fleas will attack the lower portions of the legs, especially the ankles, but it is not uncommon for some members of the family to receive more bites than others.
Preventing an infestation
Regular cleaning/vacuuming especially around carpet edges, under furniture and anywhere pets go will help towards control by denying fleas their breeding sites.
Pet bedding should be regularly cleaned as well as any favourite chair, sofa, etc.
Allied to this, regular grooming of your cat using a flea comb will alert you to a problem before it gets out of hand, and various contact insecticides are available to treat your pet.
It is important, however, to use only approved veterinary products and to read the instructions carefully before application.
Where a problem has developed beyond this stage, you will likely require help to eliminate it. This is where a professional pest control service is required such as provided by the Council - telephone 01737 276000.
Having arranged a visit what should you do in readiness?
Preparing for a treatment - what you need to do
In order to achieve the best results, all rooms will need to be treated with insecticide; therefore floors and carpets throughout the house should be as clear as possible. Furniture does not have to be removed but anything that can be picked up off the floor should be as this will certainly help to improve the efficacy of the treatment.
Children's soft toys, clothing and bedding should be well clear of the floor otherwise spraying will not be possible in those areas (see repeat treatments).
There is no need to lift carpets as these need to be treated but it is important that you give them a thorough vacuuming beforehand as you shouldn't vacuum for at least 14 days after the treatment.
This is to allow the insecticide time to deal with any larvae or adult fleas emerging over that period. Remember also to dispose of or empty your vacuum cleaner bag following the pre-treatment vacuuming as the contents will be infested.
Where there is a family cat or dog, it is important to
treat them at the same time as your home.
Only an insecticide approved for use in domestic dwellings is ever used. Mixed with water, it is applied through a pressure sprayer onto floor surfaces and carpets. After spraying, floors should be allowed to dry thoroughly before rooms are reoccupied.
This is especially important where there are small children and/or pets in the household.
The pest control operative will take all reasonable precautions so as not to damage property and the insecticide itself is non-staining but if you have any sensitive electrical equipment, or other items of particular value or concern, you should take advice beforehand.
Repeat treatments
Where the above advice is followed it should not be necessary for any further treatment to be given.
Regular cleaning around the home and the proper care and attention of any pets should be enough to prevent re-infestation.
When treatment is unsuccessful, this is sometimes due to inadequate preparation beforehand, i.e. where floors could not be sprayed thoroughly enough because of not having been cleared sufficiently. In such cases, no guarantee can be given and any further treatment requested will only be considered upon the payment of a further fee.

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) The Packer defense says it has all the respect in the world for Adrian Peterson. But it doesn't mean they'll hand him the N-F-L season rushing record on Sunday, when Green Bay plays at Minnesota in their regular season finale.
Both teams will start practicing for that contest today.
Peterson needs 208 yards to break Eric Dickerson's season mark of 21-hundred-five. And the Green Bay defenders know how possible that is, after he had 210 yards against the Pack on December second.
It was a year ago when Peterson tore an A-C-L knee ligament, and Packers' linebacker Clay Matthews says you'd love to see a player who overcame so much go on to break the rushing record. But his team vows not to be the ones to do i
t. The Packers and Vikings both have a lot to play for on Sunday. A Minnesota victory would put the Vikings into the playoffs – while a Packer victory would give Green Bay a first-round bye in the post-season.

Think you can walk in a straight line, blindfolded? Guess again.
Here's a fun experiment to try next time you find yourself in an open field. Close your eyes (or wear a blindfold) and set off walking, taking care to walk in as straight a line as possible. Have a buddy monitor your route (and warn you of obstacles). Sounds simple enough, right? Turns out it's harder than you think. »

"Dirty Jobs is a very personal show, and it's difficult for me to imagine a future that does not involve exploding toilets, venomous snakes, misadventures in animal husbandry, and feces from every species," he wrote. Rowe uses the piece to say thank you to his family, friends, crew and fans, ending with "Thanks again, and Happy Thanksgiving."

Late Surge Gets Panthers Past Youngstown State, 9-5
May 14, 2006
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee baseball team scored eight runs in the final three innings on Sunday, defeating Youngstown State 9-5 to take the final game of the weekend series. The Panthers (27-22, 15-12 Horizon) outhit the Penguins (24-27, 14-13 Horizon) by a 15-13 count in a game that featured a rain delay of 2:05 in the top of the eighth inning.
Senior Rick Cavaiani (7-1) won his sixth-consecutive decision, allowing just two earned runs in 6.1 innings of work. He walked two batters and struck out just one.
The Penguins did get to Cavaiani for two runs in the first and led 3-1 in the seventh before UWM got back in the game. The Panthers did it in a big way, scoring five runs in the frame on the strength of three hits and two YSU errors. An error and hit batter put two runners on for junior Rob Brockel, who knocked in a run with a single to right field. Senior Zak Rivera followed with another run-scoring single before junior Kyle Silver added a sacrifice fly. The team added two more runs on the second fielding error of the inning to give it a 6-3 lead.
Senior Mike Goetz scored on a passed ball in the eighth and sophomore Jesse Hart and senior Joe Nowicki both had RBI-base hits in the ninth to extend the lead to 9-5.
Rivera finished with a team and season-high four base hits. Hart was 3-for-6 with two runs scored and Nowicki had two hits and two runs batted in. Goetz had a hit and scored a run, extending his team-record hitting streak to 29 games. For the Penguins, Brandon Caipen led four players with more than one hit with a 5-for-5 effort.
The Panthers return home for one final time this regular season, playing host to Chicago State at Henry Aaron Field at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

GENERIC NAME: ticlopidine
BRAND NAME: Ticlid (Discontinued brand in the US)
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Ticlopidine is an oral drug that inhibits the ability of platelets to clump and form blood clots. It prevents blood clots by binding to the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, preventing adenosine diphosphate (ADP) from activating platelets. It belongs to a class of drugs called P2Y12 inhibitors. Other drugs in this class include clopidogrel (Plavix), ticagrelor (Brilinta) and prasugrel (Effient). Clopidogrel is similar to ticlopidine (Ticlid) in chemical structure and in the way it works. Blood clots that form within the arteries of the brain or pieces of blood clots that break off from clots in other parts of the body and lodge in blood vessels in the brain cause strokes. Similarly, heart attacks occur when blood clots block an artery in the heart. In both cases the blood supply to part of the brain or heart is blocked, and that part of the brain or heart is damaged or dies. Ticlopidine works by making the blood less likely to clot, therefore, reducing the likelihood of a stroke or heart attack. The FDA approved ticlopidine in October 1991.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 250 mg
STORAGE: Ticlopidine should be stored at room temperature, 15 to 30 C (59 to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Ticlopidine is used for preventing strokes in patients who have a history of stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs or "mini-stroke"). It also is used for preventing blood clots in stents placed in the arteries of the heart. Non-FDA approved (off-label) uses include prevention of heart attacks in patients with unstable angina (that often precedes heart attacks) or who have experienced prior heart attacks; in combination with aspirin for preventing blood clots in stents; and for intermittent claudication (due to blockage by clots of blood flowing to the legs). Ticlopidine is most often used when aspirin has failed, is not tolerated, or cannot be used for other reasons. It is rarely used otherwise because of a serious side effect that can reduce white blood cells and platelets.
DOSING: The recommended dose is 250 mg twice daily with food for stroke prevention. For preventing blood clots in stents, a single 500 mg loading dose is administered several hours before stent placement, and then 250 mg is administered twice daily for 10-14 days after successful stent placement.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Combining ticlopidine with other drugs that promote bleeding increases the risk of bleeding. Examples include aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and heparin. Ticlopidine may increase duloxetine (Cymbalta) levels by reducing the break down of duloxetine in the liver and thereby lead to side effects from duloxetine. The combination may also increase the risk of bleeding because duloxetine can interfere with platelet function. Ticlopidine may increase pimozide (Orap) levels by reducing the break-down of pimozide in the liver. Increased pimozide levels may cause abnormal heart rhythms.
PREGNANCY: Ticlopidine has not been adequately studied in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known if ticlopidine is secreted in human breast milk.
SIDE EFFECTS: Common side effects of ticlopidine include diarrhea, nausea, rash, stomach upset, and vomiting. Ticlopidine has been associated with a severe reduction in white blood cell count. Ticlopidine also causes a condition called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). TTP is a serious condition in which blood clots form throughout the body. Blood platelets, which participate in clotting, are consumed, and the result can be bleeding because enough platelets are no longer left to allow blood to clot normally.
