Oiler fans love the Finns. The Republic of Finland sent us their best children back in the 1980′s, and we adopted Risto and Jari, and did our best to understand Esa. We're like family, Oiler fans and Finns. Connected at some basic level, where brilliant hockey, an appreciation of it, and the love of life lived fully intersect–it's a bond we could never have with a nation like England. Not enough sunshine, not enough good hockey players. Finland? It's like someone visiting from Saskatchewan for the weekend–comfortable, satisfied. Home.
And so it gives me no great pleasure to identify Lennart Petrell as the redheaded step child. Honestly, we're going to have to send him back. Sorry.
Lennart Petrell 11-12
- 5×5 points per 60: 0.83 (11th among regular forwards)
- 5×4 points per 60: nil
- Qual Comp: 11th toughest faced among regular forwards
- Qual Team: 10th best and worst available teammates among regular forwards
- Corsi Rel: -16.1(14th best, worst on team. 355th out of 368 in NHL>40 games)
- Zone Start: 48.7% (9th toughest among regular forwards)
- Zone Finish: 41.5% (14th best among regular forwards)
- Shots on goal/percentage: 36/11.1% (7th best among F's >35 shots)
- Boxcars: 60, 4-5-9
- Plus Minus: -10 on a team that was -26
Lennart Petrell 12-13
- 5×5 points per 60: 1.36 (8th among regular forwards)
- 5×4 points per 60: nil
- Qual Comp: 12th toughest faced among regular forwards
- Qual Team: 14th best and among regular forwards
- Corsi Rel: -18.2(14th best, 2nd worst on team. 383rd out of 395 in NHL)
- Zone Start: 35.8% (2nd toughest among regular forwards)
- Zone Finish: 45.2% (14th best among regular forwards)
- Shots on goal/percentage: 23/13.04% (3rd best among F's >20 shots)
- Boxcars: 35, 3-6-9
- Plus Minus: -4 on a team that was -15
- What do these numbers tell us? He improved year over year. Petrell had a tough zone start and still managed to post a 5×5/60 inside the top 9, and posted the same number of points as one year ago in basically half the games.
- But there's a problem? Well, yes. He's not very good at even strength. His CorsiRel ranks him at the very back of the line again this season, and we've seen this twice now. I think improvement means getting rid of pretty much the entire 4th line, and Petrell is part of that group.
- Name the wingers you'd keep ahead of Petrell. Hall-Eberle, Yakupov-Hemsky, Paajarvi-Jones, Hartikainen-Brown, Rajala.
- All of them? Yes, except Eager and Hordichuk.
- BROWN? You'd keep Brown? Sure, the Oilers like to have one guy who punches people and Brown's fine by me.
- Will he get picked up by another team? I don't think it matters. Petrell has played almost 1,000 NHL minutes now, and he had a nice penalty killing season in 11-12. He can hit people (63) and block shots (22) and he can skate well and he can score once in awhile, but Petrell is kind of the poster boy for that MacT quote last month.
- The one about non factor? Yes. The entire quote was: "We have to add some role players. In today's NHL, even marginally, you have to be a threat to score. We had a lot of guys that the best they were going to be in any given game was a non-factor. The few times that they did (produce), we ended up winning those games. We've got to get more of an impact from them and add some complementary pieces."
- That's harsh. After the last 7 years, I'll take a bushel of harsh over ten miles of inertia.
- You should say something nice about him. He's a throwback as a checker. Aggressive on the forecheck, backchecks like hell and isn't afraid to lift the stick and steal puck. Plus he's a solid positional player, he'll hit the opponent–not to knock his teeth out, but to take him out of the play–and change the on-ice equation. And he doesn't back down plus he can handle the puck and has nice passing skills. Petrell has this thing he does on the PK where he goes stealth in the neutral zone and then darts into the play when the puck carrier hits center ice. It's very effective, old timey too. Used to do that a thousand years ago.
- Well, that sounds good. It doesn't work, the puck the puck the puck.
- You know what I've seen before? A headline that read 'Oilers sign Petrell! Confuse Hundreds!' It was thousands.
- So we're sending Finland one of their own. With love and a wish for a warm summer.

DiPinto Mach IV Electric GuitarDesigned to be flashy and versatile, the Mach IV electric guitar offers more than just eye appeal; it doles out a good variety of tones and boasts good workmanship. A flipped over body, sweet finish, pearloid and chrome components, and groovy racing stripes (except on the all-white model) make it look like a cross between a '50s dining set and a classic sports car. The star-shaped inlays match the pearloid overlays nicely. The solid stop tailpiece bridge is adjustable for intonation.The construction is good, with a tight four-bolt neck joint and lustrous finish. The electronics assembly and components are solid, especially for an instrument in this price range. The tone controls and output jack are grounded via a metal-foil plate attached to the pickguard's underside, and the Mach IV is quiet.Basic in its tone-shaping components -- a tone knobs, a volume knob, and pickup selector -- the Mach IV is surprisingly versatile. The neck-pickup is placed at an angle only about 3/8" away form the end of the slanted fingerboard, yielding a good variety of sounds. The Mach IV sounds slightly boxy with a prominent midrange and grinding top end. Blending pickups results in a full-bodied tone that works well in many styles.The Mach IV is the perfect 'attitude guitar' for surf, punk, or just about anything that requires being noticed. Flashy? You bet. Good-sounding? That too. Make sure your chops and wardrobe are up to it, you're going to be in the spotlight.Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
Sorry, but how cool it looks isn't enough info.
It's a good solid guitar, pickups are great. Not very high gain, humbucker sounds really powerful, lots of drive, single coil sounds very crisp and clear. I've played lots of different guitars. I don't think I'll play anymore, this is the one.
Pretty good guitar - I'll admit, I bought it for its weird vintage look, and was taken with its versatile tone. In the lead position the highs are very pronounced - goes great with distortion and can provide a "shredding" tone, for lack of a better cliche. Switched to rhythm, it can have a very full bluesy tone that sounds amazing. Throw distortion on this, and its a full tone with little hum, contrasting other guitars. Neck has very quick action and is a comfort to play on.
My only problem with the guitar is that the high frets (13+) are tiny and clumped, which makes it very hard to play your high wailing, dramatic and over the top solos. Great look and feel, good price and craftsmanship, compared to those big name staples. Comfortable body, too.

Working class pays more for auto insurance
Study by Consumer Federation of America shows that those with less education and lower level jobs pay higher premiums.
The study compared how much minimum liability insurance -- the least allowed by law -- would cost for a factory worker with a high school degree vs. a supervisor at a plant with a college education. In Seattle, one insurer quoted a rate 45% higher for the factory worker. The worker also would pay 40% more in Hartford, Conn.; 33% more in Oakland, Calif.; and 21% more in Chicago.
Another insurer quoted a 33% higher rate in Baltimore for the factory worker. Other than their education level and income, based on their jobs, the rest of the information to get the price quotes was the same, the CFA said.
"Auto insurers charge high premiums for minimal coverage to most working people, even those with perfect driving records, who live in urban areas," said CFA Executive Director Stephen Brobeck. "Since most Americans need a car, and almost all states require the purchase of auto insurance, many lower-income workers are faced with the choice of paying these high -- and often unaffordable -- prices, or breaking the law by driving without insurance."
The CFA has long championed the idea of insurance rates not being influenced by economic factors. In January, the group released another study that showed an executive with a poor driving record who owns a home more often than not will get charged less than a receptionist who rents an apartment but has a perfect driving record.
The group cites a survey conducted last year that showed most Americans don't think education or income should play a role in insurance rate setting. Many insurance companies have maintained that these factors, and an applicant's credit score, have proven to be reliable predictors of the likelihood a policyholder will file a claim and therefore are relevant and should be considered when quoting a premium.
The CFA dismisses the industry's arguments and, based on the national survey, says American consumers do, too.
"The American public knows that it is unfair for auto insurers to use factors like education and occupation in setting rates," said CFA Insurance Director J. Robert Hunter. "In effect, auto insurers are discriminating on the basis of income and race. States should prohibit the use of these demographic factors that bear no logical relation to insurer risk."

So let me see, A teacher or manager or some other managerial position person that makes $60K and thinks everyone around them at work or on the road should realize that they deserve more of everything including a break on their insurance. Simply because their circumstances allowed them to finish college and obtain the position they now hold.
Even with an atrocious driving record.
I had to struggle a bit more to earn my skills and keep my driving record clean. Yet it appears many believe that I should not qualify for better discounts. Oh by the way I earned 6 figures last year and have for the past several years. I don't struggle to get discounts, but I remember when I did.
As for insurance assuming risks well That's their business. From the looks of the buildings that harbor them and the bonuses the executives receive, I do not believe that they are in danger of bankruptcy.
The thing that offends me more than anything else is the assumption that anyone not fortunate enough to be highly successful will file a claim. The arrogance of a bunch of duffusses should outrage every person that has insurance, even those with better rates than others. Maybe your rates are still over priced.... Hmmm.
I Love America. Even though we may disagree, we have that right. I am fortunate, but I never look down upon anyone. I'm thankful that someone runs that little store where I get my overpriced gas and the guy that cuts my grass. The other millions of people that do jobs where the pay is less than stellar. Some of those people had no choice, family sickness/death or financial breakdown in their home as young people and they had to go to work. Their struggle reminds me how fortunate I am.
Those of you that think you are better than anyone else because of your circumstances, have just proven you are not.
Inspire, Encourage and always be a Beacon Of Hope to others.
or if you are so dismayed by how insurance companies rate their customers, go start your own insurance company take all the risk and do it your way ,i have a sneaking suspiscion that in a very short period of time when your house and car and family is at risk for your decisions you will start to understand why they rate people the way they do.
Not surprising, since most Americans aren't well-educated. As a retired teacher, the total premium on my near-Cadillac, BCBS health insurance, including prescription, dental, and vision coverage is $620 per month. The reason it's so cheap is because educated teachers take better care of themselves and incur less health costs. The copay for all tests is $0 -colonoscopies, blood tests, 3-day heart stress tests, etc.- because BCBS knows most teachers learn from and take action from the tests and save BCBS more than they'd pay if the test was never done.
Similarly, well-educated people have better driving records. I do agree that if you're a high-school dropout and haven't had an accident or ticket in 15 years you should get the best rates, but if you're going offer insurance to a young driver, statistics show you win by offering the better educated the lower rates.

Former Anderson County Councilman Ronnie Wilson was sentenced to 19 years in prison Tuesday for his role in a Ponzi scheme that bilked investors out of $60 million.
Wilson, 65, pleaded guilty to two counts of mail fraud in July as part of a plea agreement as president of Atlantic Bullion and Coin, based in Easley.
Authorities said Wilson duped more than 900 investors across 25 states into thinking they were buying silver and making big profits. They said Wilson never bought any precious metals and was paying investors' lofty dividends with other investors' money.
He was released from jail on $1 million bond after his arrest, but he appeared in federal court in Greenville on Tuesday for sentencing.
At the hearing, Wilson said that his sins started small, but the theft eventually became so bad that he even stole money from his daughter and brother.
In addition to the 235-month prison sentence, the judge ordered Wilson to pay $57,401,009 in restitution and serve three years probation upon his release.
A crowd in the courtroom clapped when the sentence was read.
Wilson was not the only arrest in connection with the Ponzi scheme.
In early October, FBI agents arrested Wallace Lindsey Howell, 60, in connection with the same scheme. He was charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud. According to an indictment, Howell worked with Wilson to defraud investors of nearly $3.5 million.
To date, an attorney has taken possession of the assets of Atlantic Bullion and Coin. He will liquidate the assets and distribute the proceeds to the victims of the scheme. A website has been set up by Ashmore to assist in working with the victims and distributing Wilson's assets.
Ashmore spoke at the sentencing, saying they don't know where all the money went.
"We do not have an accounting of all the money that went through Ron Wilson's hands," Ashmore said. "We've gone through all the books and records but if a transaction is not on the books and records the ability for us to find those assets is quite a challenge."
Part of Wilson's plea allows for his sentence to be cut short if he helps in the prosecution of others and helps in the recovery of the missing money.

text: content LE Magazine September 1999 PRODUCTSThe Life Extension Foundation regularly profiles and evaluates important new products on the market, often making them available directly to you, as well as to Foundation members at a discount via the Life Extension Buyers Club. The Multi-PurposeCompoundMSM(methyl-sulfonyl-methane), also known as dimethyl sulfone, is a naturally occurring sulfur compound, found in human diets and those of virtually all other vertebrates. In its purified form, it is an odorless, slightly bitter tasting, water soluble, white, crystalline powder containing 34% elemental sulfur. Its chemical formula is (CH3)2SO2. Some atmospheric chemists have suggested that MSM and its related compounds, DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), and DMS (dimethylsulfide) provide the source for 85% of sulfur compounds in all living organisms. These naturally occurring compounds begin in the ocean where phytoplankton convert inorganic sulfur present in the sea water to terniary dimethyl sulfonium salts. These salts are later broken down, by enzymatic action, into the volatile compound called dimethylsulfide (DMS), which escapes the ocean as a gas, rises into the upper atmosphere to be oxidized there in the presence of ozone and ultraviolet light to its chemical cousins, DMSO and MSM. Unlike DMS, both DMSO and MSM are water soluble and are returned to the earth in rain. Plants rapidly absorb the two compounds, concentrating them up to a hundred-fold. Animals eat the plants and the distribution of these sulfur compounds is then complete. MSM has been found in the blood and adrenal glands of cows. Cows' milk contains between two and six parts per million MSM. MSM occurs naturally in the human body as a result of the food we eat. It is a normal component of fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat. It has also been found in tea, coffee and chocolate. It has been detected in normal human urine. The amount of MSM present in the circulatory system of an adult human male is about 0.2 parts per million. Normal adult humans excrete from four to eleven milligrams of MSM per day in their urine. In vertebrates, the concentration of MSM decreases with age. Some research suggests that there is a minimum concentration of MSM that must be maintained in the body to preserve normal function and structure. Experiments using MSM that contains radiolabled sulfur (35S) have shown that after ingestion, MSM gives up its sulfur to the essential amino acids methionine, cysteine and other serum proteins, eventually finding its way into the collagen of skin, joints and blood vessels. It is also incorporated into the keratin of hair and nails. MSM is rated as one of the least toxic substances in biology. It is so inert and nontoxic that aqueous solutions can even be used as a blood diluent. In mice, no clinical changes were observed at oral doses of 2000 mg per kilogram of body weight. The lethal dose (LD50) of MSM for mice is over 20 grams per kilogram of body weight. Hundreds of patients have been treated at the Oregon Health Sciences University with oral MSM at levels above two grams daily for many years without serious toxicity. Scientists don't yet know all the functions of MSM in the human body, but at the Oregon Health Sciences University the following conditions have responded well to supplemental MSM: Allergy Response to pollens and foods is sharply curtailed. Medication may be reduced or eliminated. Control of hyperacidity. Patients who have used antacids and histamine-receptor antagonists to control hyperacidity can employ MSM with excellent results. Relief from constipation. Patients with chronic constipation have had prompt and continuing relief with a daily supplement of MSM. Research done at Ohio State University College of Medicine showed that oral MSM can protect rats against the onset of breast cancer. Rats bred to be susceptible to breast cancer when given certain carcinogenic compounds were fed a diet containing added MSM for eight days. Following this period the rats were given 15 mg doses of 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene by oral gastric intubation. The health of the rats was monitored for nearly one year and compared to a similar group of carcinogen-dosed rats that had not received the MSM diet. Although there was no statistical difference in the number of tumors developing in the two groups, the MSM diet rats developed their first tumors 100 days later than the non-MSM diet rats, and these tumors became cancerous about 130 days later than those in the control group. The same researchers from the Ohio State University College of Medicine also studied the protection that dietary MSM provided rats injected with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, a compound that induces colon cancer. One group of rats received MSM as a 1% solution in their drinking water during the experiment. The control group received only tap water. One week after the start of the dietary regimen, all rats were injected with the carcinogen. At two-month intervals the rats were examined under anesthesia for tumors. Rats without any appearance of tumors were returned to the experiment. Again, the number of bowel tumors occurring in the rats was statistically the same for treated and untreated rats over the entire nine-month experiment. However, the time of appearance of the first bowel tumors was considerably longer in the MSM treated rats. The conclusion of the researchers was that MSM significantly lengthens the time of tumor onset compared to controls and MSM should be further investigated as a preventive for colon cancer. Researchers at Oregon Health Sciences University studied a strain of mice that were prone to spontaneous development of joint lesions similar to those in rheumatoid arthritis. They found that animals fed a diet that included a 3% solution of MSM, in drinking water from the age of two months until the age of five months, suffered no degeneration of articular cartilage. In the control group of mice receiving only tap water, 50% of the animals were found to have focal degeneration of articular cartilage. Finally, recent human research at the UCLA School of Medicine found an 82% reduction in pain after six weeks of oral MSM use in a double blind study on degenerative arthritis. The study spanned four months and involved sixteen patients: ten patients on MSM and six on placebo. After only six weeks, those patients using the MSM experienced better than 80% control of their pain, while those on the placebo experienced on average an 18% improvement at six weeks. -Gary Prater References Crown-Zellerbach Corp., Toxicity bulletin 1983.

Cramer Quick Take: New Names
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Nicole Urken, research director for CNBC's "Mad Money," and Jim Cramer sat down to discuss where investors can still find value in the stock market.
With the market at fresh all-time highs, "we need some new blood," Urken noted. Cramer thinks the place to be is in initial public offerings. More specifically, Cramer thinks investors can find value in Quintiles Transnational (Q), which recently went public, and William Lyon Homes (WLH), which will be priced on Thursday.
Quintiles, which is a play on the pharmaceuticals, didn't pop very high on its first day of trading, something Cramer thinks is good. He stated, "I don't like the huge pop. It's phony." But he likes Quintiles, noting, "mutual funds are going to sink their teeth into it."
Switching gears, Cramer thinks William Lyon Homes is a great play on housing and believes it will have a strong debut. Based on how other housing names have performed year-to-date, Cramer noted that, "what this speaks to is a shortage of housing names, a shortage of ways to play the industry."Cramer believes institutions will begin to chase housing, grabbing anything that they can. Urken concluded by saying, "Quintiles, it popped a bit, but has more room to run." --Written by Bret Kenwell in New York.

When the night is said and gone
And only wanting to hide your face.

When you know no one anymore
When you call out their name
And they only scream what for?
Who is there to catch you
When feeling so low
So far from home
With no where to go.
Who is it you see
When you close your eye's
Is it someone you know
Or just all a surprise.
Now that all is said and done
I have opened my eye's
And greeted the warm sun.
Searching new truth's
And new lie's
To my own heart
I have disguised.
The walls back up
And I feel no shame
No more pain
And I place no blame.
For I dream the dream
No one else dare dream
I keep the secrets in my soul
No one has ever seen.

Will Muschamp, coaches discuss Florida Gators 2014 signees, recruiting process
National Signing Day LIVE COVERAGE page
2014 Florida signee bios | Gators flip four-star QB Treon Harris from Seminoles, add WR C.J. Worton | Three-star OT Andrew Mike flips to Florida
Florida Gators head coach Will Muschamp held a press conference after his coaching staff finished inking its 24-member 2014 recruiting class on National Signing Day. Below are the most notable quotes from that session as well as player evaluations made by other members of the coaching staff.
"It's a great day here at the University of Florida, a lot of hard work put in by our staff. I don't think people realize the contribution it takes from everybody. It's a total team effort on campus, professors, our administration, our academic people do a fantastic job. When a young man comes on campus for an official visit, all of the people that have to contribute to make that a special experience, and our people do it the best. Our travel people do an amazing job. All of our pilots, [the media seems] to track pretty well, but they do a phenomenal job. It takes all these moving parts to make things work the right way. So we got a great staff. Our staff did an outstanding job.
"We had a miserable fall, and to have the staff come together – three new coaches in Kurt Roper, Mike Summers and Coleman Hutzler come together and change a little bit, not philosophically, but schematically offensively, adjust some things that we need to do in midstream as far as some of the guys we were recruiting and to put together this class – I'm really proud of that. I don't know where we ended up as far as any rankings and all. You all know me, I don't get overly concerned with that."

Bank of America Merrill Lynch has lost a senior executive in Australia after its head of banks equities research, Matthew Davison, resigned for a role at U.S. rival Legg Mason , people familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
Mr. Davison will report to Legg Mason's Australian equities chief investment officer, Reece Birtles. Mr. Birtles oversees six funds, some of which focus on dividend income streams, value investing, listed real estate trusts and smaller companies.
Legg Mason chief financial officer Pete Nachtwey said on Tuesday that the Baltimore-based asset manager has US$1 billion to spend on acquisitions.
Mr. Davison's most recent note featured Macquarie Group Ltd. He reiterated a Neutral recommendation on Australia's only listed investment bank, giving it a price target of A$35.40 a share.
If Legg Mason follows his other current calls, they'll buy ANZ Banking Group Bank of Queensland and Mortgage Choice Ltd. Mr. Davison also advised Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Ltd. and Westpac Banking Group stock and selling Commonwealth Bank of Australia and National Australia Bank .

Shuttleworth to Continue Sponsoring Ubuntu
Mark Shuttleworth, the main sponsor of Ubuntu, may continue to fund the Linux distribution for a few more years.
In an interview with Computerworlduk.com, the South African billionaire explained that Ubuntu vendor Canonical might have an annual revenue of a few million dollars, but it's hardly enough to cover its costs. He goes on to say that it would likely take another three to five years to make it profitable.
Shuttleworth doesn't see any reason to deviate from the company's current business model. Because desktop sales are no longer key revenue sources, services are "the only way to build businesses around Linux." Despite his concern about the current economic crisis, he voices confidence in his blog that it can only help the Linux business model rather than harm it.
In the past, Shuttleworth has always claimed to pursue no commercial plans for Ubuntu. There was never to be a cost-based version; the distribution was to remain free

Occupation Fashion designer for Bless by Bless (models are wearing his designs)
Residence Leather District
Your real name is Bless?
It is. It's short for Blessing.
It's also a great name for a fashion designer.
I think the fashion part comes from my mother. She used to have a knitting machine and a sewing machine. She wasn't exactly a designer, but she was a clothes maker.
Where else do you draw your sartorial inspiration?
I draw my inspiration from figures who are just larger than life. Pop stars, movie stars, or people who change the world in different ways, whether they are spiritual leaders or in pop culture.
Do you have a catch phrase to describe the style of clothing that you make?
I like to call it "street couture" because being a young designer, I get sample fabrics from stores. If you go back two weeks later, it's not there anymore. As a result, I make these unique pieces. — C.M.

Former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin is looking to better her record in Georgia.
Late Monday, Palin included Ray McKinney, the Republican running against U.S. Rep. John Barrow, D-Savannah, in a list of endorsements posted on her Facebook page:
We can count on Ray McKinney to be a strong, independent voice for Georgia's 12th Congressional District. As Ray says, "If you like the way things are going now, vote for the other guy."
Palin also gave mention to Barrow's absence at a Sunday debate televised by Georgia Public Broadcasting.
Her choice of McKinney might be evidence that the 2012 presidential presumptive is seeking endorsement targets that would allow her to claim a good deal of the credit on Nov. 2 – something she enjoyed when Republican Karen Handel became the frontrunner coming out of the GOP primary for governor in July. Handel, of course, lost the August runoff.
The GOP has actively pursued the 12th District seat since Barrow's first victory in 2004. But this year, Republicans in Washington have paid more attention to seats held by Georgia Democrats Jim Marshall of Macon and Sanford Bishop of Albany.
On the same topic, over the weekend the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – criticized by the Obama administration for funding its Republican opposition – performed a small flip and put nearly $2 million in TV ads behind a dozen or so House Democrats, including U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall, D-Macon.
Apparently to counter the move, the National Republican Congressional Committee on Monday launched an anti-Marshall ad, denouncing the congressman as a tool of Wall Street:
The script:
Marshall (in an NPR interview): "The pain is never perceived and people tend not to give you credit for having avoided it."
Male narrator: That's Jim Marshall, the day he voted to bail out Wall Street the first time, creating billions in new debt. And while Wall Street's seeing record profits, the pain we feel hasn't gone away. Jim Marshall. He said he'd give up his seat over the bailout. Maybe it's time he did.
Georgia's state Democratic and Republican parties, which can accept donations larger than the $6,100 per cycle permitted by candidates, are taking an ever-larger role in the race for governor.
My AJC colleague Aaron Gould Sheinin noted that, during Sunday's Falcon game, an ad touting Nathan Deal's Republican campaign for governor closed with this tag: "Paid for by the Georgia Republican Party Sue Everhart chairman and Bob Mayzes, treasurer. Vote for Gary Black for agriculture commissioner and Sam Olens for attorney general."
In order for the funding to work, the expenditure by the party has to be made on behalf of multiple candidates.
Likewise, during the 6 p.m. news hour last night, an ad pushing Democratic nominee for governor Roy Barnes declared it had been paid for by the state Democratic party, to benefit not only Barnes, but Keith Moffett of Macon, a candidate for the Public Service Commission.
An InsiderAdvantage/Channel 2 Action News poll (+/- 4pp MOE) on Monday produced numbers in the governor's race similar to those churned out in a Rasmussen Reports survey last week:
Deal (R): 49%
Barnes (D): 41%
Monds (L): 3%
Undecided: 7%
In IA/C2AN poll also tapped the lieutenant governor's race:
Cagle (R): 50%
Porter (D): 36%
Barber (L): 2%
Undecided: 12%
And the race for attorney general:
Olens (R): 50%
Hodges (D): 40%
Smart (L): 2%
Undecided: 8%
Democrat candidate for insurance commissioner Mary Squires said her GOP opponent Ralph Hudgens "fights hard" to strip women of life-saving coverage such as mammograms. See what Politifact Georgia has to say about it.

October 12th, 2010

Remember John Barrow did not show up for the debate during the Primary either. Perhaps he thinks he is entitled to this seat because of some kind of birthright or something. Regina Thomas and Ray McKinney both showed up to discuss the serious problems the citizens have been coping with for the last two years. When you think about it, he has not shown up in Congress for the last two years. So at least he is consistent.
No wonder the people are saying throw the bums out.

Sarah Palin should not be involved in GA politics. She has no clue as to who or what the priorities are in GA. Let the incumbents fear for loss of their seats without Sarah being involved.
A no-show for another debate is a clear indicator of an air of entitlement on the part of the DemoKrat in this House race. He seems to have the arrogance of his leader B. Hussein Obummer….vote them out in Nov.
October 12th, 2010

These polls are validated by the bitterness of democrats. They face almost unbelievable losses throughout the country. If you think they are "mean-spirited" now and are practicing "the politics of personal destruction", just wait about one more week.
The negative ad I want to see Mr. Deal run is where Barnes admits his support of Obama.

Do you know why the Libertarians do not have a candidates in the race ? Because the democrats and the GOP have prevented the Libertarians from being on the ballot by the use of the law. the have wriiten law to prevent YOu from having choices because the don't trust you.
Georgia is the worse state for getting on the ballot for US House in the country. so the next time you say the GOP is freedom loving remember they have votrd have as a group keep your choices limited because they don't want the free market at the ballot box.

InsiderAdvantage and Channel 2 poll: Nathan Deal, Roy Barnes in dead heat
1:45 pm September 17, 2010, by Jim Galloway
But you waited a day for the AJC/COX/WSB biased poll that had to come in line with reality within a month of the election. Today you bury that radically changed poll behind a gratuitous Sarah Palin Facebook post.
Maybe you can get away with such bias by being a typical lefty AJC columnist, but what about all of those AJC "journalist" reporters and editors who have been shilling for Barnes? Absolutely unprofessional, disgusting, and continuing to kill all remnants of AJC credibility/circulation. The ultimate irony is that the bias is so heavily discounted that it doesn't work, and may have a bigger backlash effect.

If Sarah Palin chooses to run for President next year, one things certain she will in the primaries wiz by all the other candidates and it's because she's made it clear what her agendas are. Then Palin will accomplish more than that because she will destroy Obama in the general Election. Also, she draws massive crowds everwhere she goes. Even in States that are the bluest of the blue which Obama won in the 2008 Election. For instance, New York, California, and Minnesota. I for one am from New York and have seen it straight up.
October 12th, 2010
11:00 am
Obama is doing an excellent job of destroying himself as well as the United States. His approval ratings are dropping – fast. In Ohio, where Obama won big, he would lose now
against ANY Republican candidate. These congressional election are of extreme importance as they hold the key to shutting off Obama's access to funds.

Why didn't that AJC poll make the front page, or even get listed under "Latest from the Pollsters" on the political page? http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/
The question is rhetorical – we all know the AJC is shocked their hit pieces on Deal have had a reverse effect and/or their previously biased poll has been exposed.
October 12th, 2010
11:08 am
I do not believe these polls. Barnes was behind Millner in 1998 and won and was ahead of Perdue in 2002 and lost. I do not know a soul (Republican or Democrat) in Savannah voting for Deal. (I assume it is because of his financial situation and the fact that he and Cagle are from the same hometown).
October 12th, 2010
11:09 am
Something I forgot to mention. None of the other Republican Candidates draw massive crowds everwhere they go. Not even Obama and Biden draw massive crowds. Both draw only small amounts everywhere they go around the country.
October 12th, 2010
11:10 am
Have Sarah Palin endorse everyone on the Republican ticket. Why not? They get a bump up and then they lose the race. I love it. Although Handel would have been a better candidate for Republicans, Deal's shenanigans will have him fighting to stay out of jail rather than govern this state.
October 12th, 2010

Who in their right mind would pay attention to this dumb IDIOT! I wouldn't vote for her if she was the last candidate on the ballot. Katie Couric proved just how unintelligent and stupid Sarah Palin is as a candidate; however, some ppl think she has good values. Well apparently her daughter didn't listen to what her mother was suppose to be projecting. When ask the question what magazines do you read and you can't think of not one that you have read, then that tell me you can't be a person of substance. The only things she talks about is change; however, she can't give a definitive intelligent answer, she only rambles off things that make no sense. Sarah, please go back to Alaska!

Yes, let's everyone vote for GOP in Georgia, they've treated us so well the last 8 years. Sonny's gotten rich while in office with the help of all the repubs in the state capitol. Vote republican and line the pockets of the politicians, lets send more jobs overseas, lets protect the financial institutions that sent us into this horrible economy. Let's us vote yes for the party of NO. Let's vote republican and turn the running of this state and country over to Corporate America so they can have more tax breaks and send yet MORE jobs overseas. The fat cats want to continue to get rich off the backs of average Americans.
Vote Republican…let's give America away!

Palin wants to force victims of rape and incest to bring any resulting pregnancy to full term, by law. She is a sicko shill for the pedophile priesthood's "Jus primae noctis" we established America to escape, despite Rome's minions' attempt to write it out of history. Her other "special interest" is Rockefeller's Roman Catholic "Big Oil."

Sarah Palin's enjoys popularity because what she says strikes a chord with so many people. She has been demonized by those who disagree with what she says. It is "the politics of personal destruction" at its worst.
"Katie Couric proved just how unintelligent and stupid Sarah Palin is as a candidate"
Katie is merely a tool of the left but she is paid very well for her "hit" jobs.

The only "independent" pollster in Georgia — Matt Towery, Insider Advantage — is bought, sold and paid for by the Republican party. Matt writes GOP biased columns in his spare time for small Georgia newspapers to try and prop up his "polling" numbers.
Ask John "Who" Oxendine what a 19 point lead at Insider Advantage going into t a primary will get you. Ask Lynn Westmoreland about Towery's expertise as a bagman.
Barnes will trounce Deal. If he doesn't, it proves the Tea Party and GOP are one in the same (they are). Deal is a poster boy for what is wrong with politics.
In 2008, while the rest of country was voting overwhelmingly for the Democrats — Georgia was solidly GOP. Why should 2010 be any different? The GOP rah-rah section here (people from NY blogging at the AJC? Jonathan at 10:42 am) acts like they're actually accomplishing something other than being led like the faithful sheep they are.
Bottom line is: Was Georgia better off in 2000 at the time Perdue was elected Governor?
Sarah Palin? Can anyone really take her seriously after appearing on "Dancing with the Stars"?

What a JOKE!!!! Sarah Palin's endorsement is just what the republicans need, another piece of poor white trash representing that home grown terroist group known as the "tea party". The "tea party" weapons of choice – hatred, fear and rage/mob mentality. This is great news for the Democrats!!!

Real Athens:
"Barnes will trounce Deal. If he doesn't, it proves the Tea Party and GOP are one in the same (they are"
Deal's victory will not prove or disprove that the Tea Party and the Republican Party are the same. Deal will win despite the leftist hatchet job by the AJC.

To Tlamar. Katie Couric is no real reporter. She didn't give Sarah Palin an interview. The thing is she wouldn't give a Conservative Candidate an interview. All Couric did was ambush Palin which is what she would always do anytime a Conservative Candidate comes on to speak with her. It was the fault of the John Mccain Campaign to have her interview on CBS in the first place. As for whatnot Palin doesn't draw massive crowds because they want to see her say more dumb stuff. She doesn't say dumb stuff. Palin say logical stuff and you despise that. Those type of people that hate her wouldn't be caught dead at a Palin rally. People that hate her wouldn't show up. All the people at these massive crowds were cheering on Palin and I was one of them. None of them were protesters. Also, politicians that are hated by most people never draw massive crowds anywhere they go. They only draw small amounts which is what Obama and Biden draw.

Couric's so "liberal" she does what ever she can to bring Bush and Cheney to justice for their 9/11 treason. Katie's just one more spokesmodel for fascist plutocracy: an offense against The Founder and his University. Palin's inbred white trash.

I can remember when Sarah Palin bashed the President for being a CELEBRITY. What has she become a CELEBRITY and a rich one at that. The people who follow her are as much a joke as she is. Come on Palin why don't get behind DEAL & CAGLE the Gainesville Mafia. Opps you can't cause you called them the good ol' boy network. That's too bad.
I've got house shoes smarter than Palin. Speaking of which. You Republican love to talk about the lack of achievement mentality in the inner city but you applaud the ignorance of the trailer park set. I've never understood why you guys don't like the smart folks. You call them the intellectual elite making fun of them for being smart when they blow the doors off most of your arguments. Sounds like you want your kids to be dumb as you when you are not smart enough to see through the crap Sarah Palin is selling. Such hypocracy.

Last man and td,
Newt brought you the politics of personal destruction with a video series he was shilling on the floor of the house, while running an infomercial banner for the 800-number

At least she does not hide behind an anonymous blog…

"You can not teach trailor, this is about hating President Obama"
You are singing your same old worn out song. To you, anyone who disagrees with his politics and actions is guilty of hating him. Define it as you will but I take strong exception to turning this country into a socialist republic. The man has proven himself time and again to be a liar, but I don't even hate him for that. I truly feel sorry for all those millions of people who bought into his "hope" and "change", many of whom now realize what a tragic mistake they made.
I want to ask you once again, gm, about those people you "signed up" to vote in this election and for who transportation to and from the polls had been arranged:
Who is providing this transportation?
Who is paying for the transportation?
October 12th, 2010
12:33 pm
I agree that the InsiderAdvantage poll is bought and sold – until a few weeks before the election when it is required to reflect reality in order not to be seen for what it is. Notice that the Cox Communications owned AJC and WSB always pair up with this poll? Do you not think they buy polls that reflect their desires?
Deal is going to win the Governorship, and probably by a landslide without a runoff. Handel and Oxendine had more baggage, and might have lost to King Rat Roy.

An Affordable Solar Home
The home incorporates regional materials like cypress siding. Here, the students practice roof disassembly in preparation for the model's trip to the Capitol.
The kitchen includes all the amenities for Louisiana-style hospitality. The undercounter refrigerator-freezer (by Perlick) saves energy by using a single compressor.
Movable steel shutters provide both shade and high-wind protection.
A traditional dog-trot porch separates the kitchen, on the right, from the living room and bedroom areas. The eccentric roof line is a stylized tribute to the vernacular "shotgun" house form.
"From the beginning," says faculty advisor Geoff Gjertson, "we wanted to build not just this one house, but a house that people in our region would really want to live in — a prototype for good, affordable housing that's also sustainable. The FEMA trailer is what we don't want to see."
The resulting BeauSoleil Home (beausoleilhome.org) took first place in the Market Viability category. It also nailed the informal People's Choice award, which bodes well for its future prospects. Built with SIPs, it uses a cistern for water needs and incorporates passive-ventilation techniques typical of traditional homes in Louisiana — "real assets following a storm," as Gjertson notes.
The team's newest goal is to make the 800-square-foot house available by 2011, with a target cost between $120,000 and $150,000. Meanwhile, the model has been returned to the Lafayette campus, where a fresh batch of architecture and engineering students is using it to gather performance data. It's also open to the public two days a week.

B.A. in Political Science
The American Political Science Association has developed a broad description of the discipline. "Political Science," it says, "is the study of governments, public policies and political processes, systems, and political behavior." The profession's subfields include American politics, political philosophy, comparative politics, international relations and a host of related fields such as policy studies, political geography, political economy, and studies of particular countries or geographic areas. Political scientists use a variety of approaches to examine the process, systems and political dynamics of all countries and regions of the world.
Students majoring in political science must complete a 30-credit course of study. Several required courses introduce students to the discipline's traditional subfields and to different methods of analysis. There is also considerable room for student choice within the major, and the department offers ample opportunities for independent study, honors theses and internships. Students also may earn a minor in the discipline with 12 credits.
Students with expertise in the study of politics are always in great demand. Government, law, politics, business, journalism, non-profit organizations and education are broad areas of employment for political science students. Political science is a favorite major for prospective lawyers, and it leads to careers in teaching, journalism and government service. Large corporations are always looking for employees with expertise in the analysis of public affairs, and organizations as different as charities, foundations, the armed forces, non-profits and police departments are eager to hire political science majors. A major in political science also can lead to careers as lobbyists, pollsters and commentators to college professors, activists and consultants. The American Political Science Association publishes a guide to employment called "Careers and the Study of Political Science: A Guide for Undergraduates," which the Department makes available to all interested students.

Such is the case with the website for FEI, a company that produces and distributes electron microscopes. The "Resources" page of the website offers a great deal of interesting and educational information. The NanoCenter, for instance, provides not only links to the company's technical documents, but also provides a nanotechnology newsfeed. Users can browse amazing images showcasing the wonders of electron microscopy in the Image Gallery, which also includes a link to a PDF pamphlet entitled, "Introduction to Electron Microscopy."

Galveston will no longer be the only cruise port in southeast Texas beginning in 2013.
Princess Cruises will begin departures from the Bayport Cruise Terminal in Pasadena in November 2013, while Norwegian Cruise Line will call the terminal home in 2014. The construction of the terminal was finished in 2011.
The Princess Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line agreements are partnerships with the Port of Houston Authority.
"We are ecstatic that these two premier cruise lines have chosen to sail from our state-of-the-art cruise facility at Bayport in Pasadena, Texas," said Jim Edmonds, chairman of the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority. "Securing this cruise business helps fulfill our commitment by building the cruise terminal to spur job creation and economic development for the entire greater Houston and Pasadena region."
The Port of Houston Authority had been in negotiation with the two cruise companies over a long time period, but the commission authorized the agreements during a meeting on Thursday.
The cruise lines are projected to bring a great impact to the economy of Harris County and the greater Houston area, including the cities of Houston and Pasadena, with smaller cities near the cruise terminal also expected to reap the benefits.
100 jobs will be created as a result of the partnership.
The inaugural Princess Cruises voyage from the Bayport Cruise Terminal aboard the Caribbean Princess ship will support U.S. military veterans. The cruise will sail between Nov. 5 and Nov. 9, 2013, and is projected to raise $1 million for two U.S. veterans' organizations, namely, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund and Operation Homefront.
Norwegian Cruise Line will dock the 2,374-passenger capacity Norwegian Jewel from the Bayport Cruise Terminal for no less than three years beginning in 2014, and will have an option to extend the agreement for up to two years.
The last time a Norwegian Cruise Line ship sailed from Houston was in 2007.

So the last episode was the arrival of Kate seen through Arthur's eyes. Not going to lie, it was a pretty blah episode with a glaring plot hole: why are other kids (who are obviously either only children or the younger sibling) giving advice to Arthur who has already been through the anxiety of getting a little sister when he was four?
D.W.'s Baby is a far more interesting episode because D.W. not only provides a more humorous perspective with her sassiness but she is more juvenile than Arthur and sees things less maturely than him which provides some hilarious comedy. This is also a more interesting episode considering the new family dynamic: the arrival of Kate affects D.W. more than it does Arthur, despite the fact that as the oldest, he will have more responsibility in the house, because D.W. is no longer the second child but now, as they say, stuck in the middle. We have all heard that middle children often feel pushed aside in favor of the youngest who demands more attention (as if D.W. isn't demanding enough!) and the oldest who is the pioneer of the siblings and becomes the standard all the others are compared to. This is addressed in a later episode where D.W. feels Arthur's legacy haunts her even at her preschool, which he presumably went to before her. D.W. deals with jealousy and inconvenience more than Arthur does since Kate will be living in her room and D.W. has to accommodate her and additionally, since the age difference between Kate and D.W. is smaller than the one between Kate and Arthur, D.W. is the one who will be interacting with Kate more.
Man, doesn't that sound like a smart analysis of an eleven minute episode? I should make insert a random GIF here to remind you that this is supposed to be humorous.
Onto the recap!
Arthur is watching the video of his first birthday where he sneezed on the birthday cake and it landed on Jane. Then, D.W.'s first birthday comes up and I have to say, Arthur is a helluva nicer brother than D.W. gives him credit for. He tries to teach her how to blow on the candles but she garbles some nonsense that sounds suspiciously like "Gimme lots of presents!"
Now they are celebrating Kate's first birthday and D.W. is filming the whole thing, saying sisters are always better than brothers. Arthur reminds her that there was a time when D.W. wasn't always crazy about Kate.
Flashback time!
We got back to the scene shown in Arthur's Baby when Kate first comes home but as we know now, this is a perspective flip focusing on D.W. At first D.W. is excited to see the new baby and demands to hold her.
Jane and David:
Man, that was a harsh GIF. I don't have a nice "shut up" Gif though. Moving on.
D.W. is annoyed that all they do is put Kate in the crib. "That's it? We're done with her?…Hasn't she had enough sleep by now?"
D.W., you slay me.
D.W. is obsessed with the baby, even listening to Kate breathe on the monitor. David tells her, "D.W. we have done this twice already. Chill out and watch some Cupcake Wars with the family like a normal person."
David watches the Food Network because he is in the catering business.
D.W. is annoyed that she can't help do anything for Kate like give her a bath or anything. She complains to her imaginary friend Nadine that she's a baby expert so why don't they want her help?
D.W. you are not a baby expert. The only people who are baby experts are parents and even then, some of them aren't baby experts. They could be toddler experts, pre-teen experts, etc. Humans are the only animal who do not have direct maternal/paternal instincts. When dogs have babies, they know what to do with them. We have to read What to Expect When You're Expecting and go see doctors and eat healthy and learn how to breast feed and how to hold a baby.
You are four years old. You have not even started your menstrual cycle. DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED.
We get to the scene from Arthur's Baby where Arthur has to watch over Kate and Nadine tells D.W. that this is her chance to impress Mommy and Daddy with her baby knowledge but as we all know, Arthur calmed the baby down without her help.
D.W. is annoyed that Arthur stole her thunder but Nadine assures her that Arthur didn't mean to make her look bad. I think it was on tvtropes where someone noted that Nadine represented the clearer-headed side of D.W.'s personality, who actually takes the time to think things through and plan carefully. D.W., who is more impulsive, impulsively tells Nadine to shut up.
Kate moves into D.W.'s room and at first she is like this:
But Kate cries like this:
Like all night.
So D.W. is like this:
Not only does Kate cry all night but D.W.'s room now stinks of dirty diapers and her room has to be baby proofed. She talks to the Tibble twins about this and they suggest that she try to get Kate into trouble so David and Jane won't like her anymore.
D.W. tries to sabotage Kate but to no avail. My favorite part was this one:
David: Who put my new shoes in the dishwasher?
D.W.: Kate did it! I saw her.
David: D.W. go to your room and think about what you just said.
That was good, guys. That was good.
Then at a garage sale, D.W. tries to sell Kate for fifty cents. D.W., I know you want to get rid of her but Kate is presumably a nice Caucasian baby. I know you can get a lot more than that in a black market somewhere.
Of course she is thwarted and D.W. goes inside and watches a special about monkeys who live on an island. This makes D.W. decide to run away so she says goodbye to everyone but no one takes her seriously and she walks across town or something to Grandma Thora's house. Only in Elwood City would a four year old be able to do that. I mean, I live in a relatively safe suburb but if a four year old was walking around by herself, you better believe social services would be called.
D.W. tells Grandma Thora that she is running away and would Thora mind giving her a ride to the nearest island?
D.W. is quite the moocher.
They start rowing to the island and D.W. tells Thora, "I'll write to you..after I learn how to write." Thora gently asks D.W. why she is running away and D.W. confesses to being jealous and feeling unwanted at home. Then Thora makes her realize that Kate needs a big sister around and D.W. has a change of heart and goes back home.
Jane and David were mildly worried about her, to their credit and D.W. decides she is no longer mad at Kate and promises to show her how to do everything.
"Except change diapers," she says. "That's what mommies and daddies are for."
Oh, she kills me. Kate is now D.W.'s baby.
Grade: A+ (I was about to give this a regular A but then I realized that the truly memorable lines in this episode bumped it up a few points.)
Rating: 85% intense. Running away is pretty intense.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
Mentors of a non-profit organization are teaching kids all about robots.
They're called "100 Black Men of Albany", and Saturday they held a class to teach young people more about robotics and technology.
More than a dozen young people studied different parts of robots, and learned how they're used in the everyday world. This is the third year for the event.
"Probably go to college and learn how to build all kinds of things. Especially things in engineering and technology and later on, you can have a career in it," said Keidon Bryant.
"We have robotics in everything and computer. And it's a great start to get kids using computers and understanding technology," said Michael Harris.
Representatives with the Ronald McDonald Children's Charities presented a check for $5,000 to the non-profit group.

Definition of whirling disease in English:
whirling diseaseSyllabification: whirl·ing dis·ease
A disease of juvenile trout and salmon caused by a parasitic protozoan, affecting the balance of the fish and causing it to swim with a whirling motion.
- The protozoan is Myxobolus cerebralis, phylum Sporozoa
More example sentences
- In yet another controversy, the new EPA chief's family fish farm stands accused of introducing trout infected with the deadly whirling disease - which causes fish to swim in circles - into Utah rivers.
- In some rivers whirling disease causes little harm to fish, but it can also suddenly erupt, causing a so-called 'hot zone' in which thousands of young fish die.

Electric Coops Natural Choice for Expanding Rural Internet AccessThe content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at http://www.muninetworks.org/content/electric-coops-natural-choice-expanding-rural-internet-access
"The electric co-ops represent possibly the greatest potential for expansion of really good infrastructure in rural America," [Todd] Pealock said, explaining how it's a natural fit for co-ops to be infrastructure providers. "It's very synergistic for our linemen to hang cable, to lift the hardware up," Pealock said. "The splicing is very natural for them."… Continue reading

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin's unemployment rate has dropped for the ninth month in a row.
State officials said Thursday that the seasonally adjusted jobless rate was 5.8 percent. That's down one-tenth of a point from April, and it's more than a half-percent below the national rate of 6.3.
Preliminary figures showed that Wisconsin has added around 38,000 private sector jobs over the last year, and 116,000 since Governor Scott Walker first took office at the start of 2011. That's far below Walker's campaign promise of 250,000 new private sector jobs during his four-year term.
However, new charts from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel show that Wisconsin's job growth has lagged for much of the last decade under both Walker and former Democratic Governor Jim Doyle.
The federal government reported Thursday that the Badger State created 28,000 jobs during 2013, a gain of 1.2 percent throughout the year. That was the 37th slowest job growth in the 50 states on a percentage basis, down from 35th in the last report three months ago.

PLYMOUTH, WI (WHBL) - No one was hurt after a small fire occurred at a nursing home in Plymouth Thursday morning.
Plymouth Police Deputy Chief Chris Ringel said they received word around 3:30 of smoke in the hallway of Plymouth Care Center on East Clifford Street. Officers found a burner on a stove in one of the facilities' apartments was left on with items on top of it burning. The items were removed and the stove turned off with no report of damage.
Ringel said a female was on the apartment floor when officers arrived, but appeared unharmed and refused medical attention from EMS.
