AUGUSTA, GA - The North Georgia women's basketball bounced back from a tough loss to Clayton State, by defeating Augusta State 57-45 on Saturday evening in the Christenberry Fieldhouse.
The victory was the fifth straight for the Lady Saints (7-4, 2-1 PBC) in the all-time series with the Jaguars (7-5, 2-2 PBC).
For the fourth time this season, North Georgia followed up a loss with a double-digit victory.
The Lady Saints controlled the pace from the opening tip, and starting the game on an 8-2 run over the first four minutes of the game. North Georgia started the run when senior Lindsey Moss hit a three from well beyond the arc and Jaymee Carnes capped the run making one of two free throws.
Over the next six minutes the Lady Saints stretched their lead to 10 points when Jessica Trice made a pair of free throws with 9:47 remaining.
The Jaguars made a run to cut North Georgia's lead to four when Jemimah Ashby made a layup with three and a half minutes left, but the Lady Saints would hold them scoreless for the remainder of the half ending the half on an 8-0, capped by a Moss jumper.
A game after scoring a season-low 16 points in the first half, the Lady Saints responded by surrendering only 16 to the Jaguars and holding them to 23.4 percent shooting from the field (8-34).
In the first five minutes of the second half North Georgia was able to stretch their lead to as many as 17 (37-20) when Carnes made a layup. However, the Jaguars clawed their way back into the game, cutting the lead to single-digits when Eryka Menzis made a trey with eight minutes remaining in the game.
The Lady Saints proved to be too much for Augusta State as they stretched their lead back to double-digits responding with a 6-0 run capped by another pair of Trice free throws with just under seven minutes remaining in the game and never looked back.
Offensively, North Georgia was once again led by Carnes who registered her nation-best 10th double-double of the year, scoring a game-high 21 points, pulling down 11 boards, and swatting six shots.
Carnes has scored in double figures in every game thus far for the Lady Saints and has scored at least 20 points in 10 of their 11 contests.
Trice had another solid game for coach Buffie Burson, scoring 13 points and grabbing nine boards, while hitting all 11 of her free throw attempts. Trice had four more free throws attempts then the entire Augusta State squad.
Freshman Amanda Rector had arguably the best offensive game of her young collegiate career, scoring seven points and recording four steals, while Moss added eight points and six boards.
Augusta State's offensive attack was as balanced as advertised with Brittany White and Tiffany Jaecks leading the charge eight points apiece with four of their teammates scoring six.
The Lady Saints return to the hardwood on Thursday, January 12, when they host Peach Belt foe UNC Pembroke in their second home conference game of the season, with tip-off scheduled for 5:30 pm.

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will be sidelined for two games with a lower-body injury that he tweaked during the Olympics, the team announced Wednesday.
Price left the ice during the team's morning skate on Wednesday after stopping a shot during a drill. He did not return and the Canadiens subsequently recalled goaltender Dustin Tokarski from Hamilton of the American Hockey League for Wednesday night's home game against the Detroit Red Wings.
"During the Olympics, Carey aggravated a lower-body injury. He will not play the next two games and he's day to day," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said.
Montreal backup goaltender Peter Budaj will start Wednesday in place of Price against the Red Wings.
The 26-year-old Price was named the top goaltender in the Olympics after posting a 5-0-0 record, a 0.59 goals-against average, a .972 save percentage and two shutouts for Canada's gold-medal-winning team.
This season with the Canadiens, Price has a 26-17-5 record with a 2.33 goals-against average and a .925 save percentage.

Aug 01, 2012
Residential segregation by income has increased during the past three decades across the United States and in 27 of the nation's 30 largest major metropolitan areas, according to a new analysis of census tract and household income data by the Pew Research Center.
The analysis finds that 28% of lower-income households in 2010 were located in a majority lower-income census tract, up from 23% in 1980, and that 18% of upper- income households were located in a majority upper-income census tract, up from 9% in 1980.
These increases are related to the long-term rise in income inequality, which has led to a shrinkage in the share of neighborhoods across the United States that are predominantly middle class or mixed income—to 76% in 2010, down from 85% in 1980—and a rise in the shares that are majority lower income (18% in 2010, up from 12% in 1980) and majority upper income (6% in 2010, up from 3% in 1980).

Forever Fashionable1 of 11
By Kelly Mickle
Getting older means no more wearing dresses above the knee or shopping the latest trends, right? Not so! The rules of age-appropriate dressing have changed, and while we're not encouraging 60-somethings to wear neon minis, you can still look fun, modern and stylish well into your golden years. Steal these wardrobe tips from ten fashionable celebrities in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.
Cut It Out2 of 11
Your 20s are a great time to flaunt your figure and experiment with fashion-forward silhouettes. Take a cue from Taylor Swift, who wears a subtly sexy cutout dress that shows just the right amount of skin.
Body of Work3 of 11
We're not saying you can't rock a skintight leather dress a la Blake Lively at any other age, but if you're in the 20-something range, now's the time to figure out what works best on your body.
True Colors4 of 11
Start building a timeless wardrobe in your 30s with pieces you'll wear every day. Reese Witherspoon hits all the right style notes in classic essentials—a polished button-down, dark jeans and a great handbag—while keeping her look playful with hot pink heels.
Dress Up5 of 11
No, you don't have to completely swear off the hottest trends now that you're all grown up. Just look at Kerry Washington—the actress pulls off cheeky embellishments and a shorter hemline thanks to the classic, not-too-snug cut of the dress.
Seeing Red6 of 11
The older you get, the more confident you are embracing color. Follow 41-year-old Sofia Vergara's lead and keep the silhouette conservative, adding a top-handle bag and opaque tights for extra sophistication.
Suit Up7 of 11
In your 40s, stylish and practical clothes are key. A menswear-inspired suit, like Vanessa Paradis' version, is versatile enough for day and night. But we love how the actress keeps hers from looking frumpy with fun, edgy pieces, like a sheer, keyhole blouse.
Basic Instincts8 of 11
In your 50s, you can afford to invest in quality over quantity. Update your tried-and-true basics for perfectly tailored pieces you'll cherish, like Julianne Moore's sharp blazer and ladylike midi skirt.
Trending Now9 of 11
You know what works for you at this age and what doesn't. Feel free to wear a few choice trends—like a bow-tie blouse or pointy-toe heels—with smart pieces, like French model Ines de la Fressange's cropped pants. The result? Fresh, not old-fashioned.
Purple Haze10 of 11
Jessica Lange proves you're never too old for jewel tones, even in your 60s, thanks to the demure shape of her eggplant dress. But it might be wise to skip the flashy accessories, as Lange cleverly does with a pair of nude heels.
In Print11 of 11
Who says you can't wear prints and metallics in your 70s? It's possible when you stick to classic pieces, as Jane Fonda does in a button-down shirt and maxi skirt. The silhouette also happens to highlight the narrowest part of her waist—a bonus no matter what age you are.

Saints Pounce on Bearcats, Advance in PBC Tourney
COLUMBUS, GA – North Georgia erupted for a five-run seventh inning on Monday evening to take down Lander University 8-1 and advance to the semifinals of the 2011 Peach Belt Conference Tournament at Golden Park.
The Saints (34-18) advance in the winner's bracket to Tuesday's semifinal game at 4:00 p.m. against an opponent that is yet to be determined. North Georgia will now have to be defeated twice to not advance to the championship round. The Bearcats (29-23) fall to the loser's bracket and will take on Armstrong Atlantic on Tuesday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. in an elimination game.
In just four years of being eligible to compete for a PBC Tournament Title, the Saints are one victory away from playing in the Championship game in three of those four years, including the 2008 championship team.
The Saints could do little wrong in the early going, loading the bases in the first inning for Kenny Bellavance who grounded out to send Derek Hooper to the plate for the first run of the game.
North Georgia put two more runners on in the second inning for Jordan Erisman who lined a single to left field, bringing Dustin Carpenter racing to the plate and giving the Saints a 2-0 second-inning advantage.
Lander threatened at the plate in the second inning, putting a pair of runners on base with just one out, but North Georgia starter Andrew Wallace came to life and notched back-to-back strikeouts to end the threat and preserve the Saints' lead.
North Georgia pitchers tossed 15 straight scoreless innings to open the PBC Tournament, but that streak ran out in the seventh inning when the Bearcats used a single and stolen base from Patrick Grady to set up an RBI single down the right field line by Adam Davey to cut the Saints' lead in half at 2-1.
The Saints wasted no time getting the run right back and adding some insurance in the bottom half of the inning, as Lander fell apart on defense and committed a trio of errors that led to five runs.
The big play came when Troy Snitker put down a sacrifice bunt that was thrown down the first base line, sending two runners home and giving North Georgia a 5-1 advantage. Chad Sage followed and doubled off the right field wall to bring home another run, and Dustin Carpenter capped the big inning with a sacrifice fly to give the Saints their largest lead of the tournament at 7-1.
The Lander pitching staff struggled with control in the eighth, allowing the Saints to push across one more run and run away with the 8-1 victory.
Wallace (4-1) picked up the win in 7.0 innings of work, allowing eight hits, but giving up just one run, while striking out six and walking one. Lander's Chris Thomas (6-6) suffered the loss, allowing six runs on as many hits, while walking three and striking out five.

The Atlanta Braves gave contract extensions to manager Fredi Gonzalez and general manager Frank Wren, the team announced Wednesday.
No contract terms were revealed. Gonzalez and Wren were entering the final year of their contracts.
Gonzalez took over as manager when Bobby Cox retired after the 2010 season. Under Gonzalez, the Braves have made the playoffs twice and won one National League East title. His career record in Atlanta is 279-207.
Gonzalez is just the Braves' second manager since the 1990 season and is entering his fourth season in 2014.
Wren has served as general manager since John Schuerholz was named team president in 2007. Schuerholz had been the GM since 1990.

In "The Ghost of Speedy Cannon," writer Thomas Lake details the death of former Jacksonville High running back Speedy Cannon, who died in 1972 from a brain injury suffered in a game against Wellborn High School.
As the SI story explains, The Star covered Cannon's death and funeral with front-page stories. But Lake, after receiving an emailed tip, set out to determine if, as one former JHS player believes, Cannon's death was essentially a racially motivated murder.
Without further comment, we'll let you, the reader, draw your own conclusions.
Nevertheless, two things are worth noting about the SI story:
1. It's well written and well reported; no doubt, fans of local high school football will enjoy reading it. Some may even remember seeing Cannon play.
2. The online design of SI's story is, quite frankly, is as good if not better than the story itself. The piece includes video of the play on which Cannon was hurt, which you can't watch only once. Count this as another example of the future of online journalism.

Wat I'm p sure it's the best thing ever
Last year, my family decided we should skip Christmas gifts and contribute all the money to having bigger birthdays instead. So that was how I got my new GPU and PSU, but now my Christmas amounts to a $25 Amazon gift card that I already spent on my creative writing textbook for next semester and a cheap gaming mouse.

Tracy McGrady's reverse dunk just a sign of things to come?
Last night against the Wizards, Tracy McGrady cut to the basket, caught a lob and finished with a reverse dunk.
Initially I didn't bat an eye, because that was a typical McGrady play. But then I remembered the T-Mac who had no lift in his final days as a Rocket, struggled last year with the Knicks and played cautiously in his brief Pistons career so far.
And apparently, McGrady believes we'll see more plays like that from him in the future. From Vincent Goodwill of the Detroit News:
"I envision being that guy again," said McGrady, now 31. "Whether that happens I don't know. I would like to be that guy. I've worked so hard to get back to being that guy. If it doesn't happen I can look in the mirror and say I've done everything possible because I've come a long way to come to where I am today."
If I'd read that comment from McGrady a few weeks ago, I admit I would've been skeptical. But every time I see him play, I grow less so. It would be unheard for a player, at his age with his significant injury history, to return to the form that helped him win a scoring title and dominate games with his athleticism. But I don't think we've seen the last of McGrady as a starting-caliber player in this league.
The Pistons probably don't have enough minutes to give him so we can fully find out, but the basic reason McGrady came here was for an opportunity to show the league he can still play, and he's done nothing to disappoint so far.
UPDATE: Mike Payne's comment from below was worth highlighting. McGrady's defense has been top-notch so far:
Warning– stat nerdery. If you have access to Synergy, take a look at McGrady's defensive stats. On 49 defensive possessions so far this season, Tracy is holding his man to 29.7% shooting. That makes him the 13th best defender in the league so far this season– regardless of position.

T-Mac could have some real value at the trade deadline if he continues to show progress with that knee and his explosiveness.
Nov 22, 2010 • 5:53 pm
by gmehl1977
Hey it would be nice to see the guy get back his athleticism but one thing that stands out more to me is his shooting. He still hasn't got the lift required in his shooting motion. You can especially see this on his free throws. I am sure this will work its self out with more time on the court. McGrady should follow the lead of Grant Hill who is looking to play well into his 40s by taking care of his body. Good luck to the guy is say!

T-Mac also had a nice block that took me back to the good old days. Question: if he does get his explosiveness back, what does this do to an already overcrowded perimeter rotation?

maybe we could trade for Darko, a seven footer who rebounds, blocks shots, plays good post defense, can pass, and on good nights, score.

Darko is the poster child for the type of player who needs to be given minutes to play, needs to have the coaching staff show confidence in them so they can have confidence in themselves. Some players do not have the ability to"earn minutes" until they receive that kind of affirmation from their coaches and teammates.

That wasn't a reverse dunk. It was a straight forward alley oop.

Warning– stat nerdery. If you have access to Synergy, take a look at McGrady's defensive stats. On 49 defensive possessions so far this season, Tracy is holding his man to 29.7% shooting. That makes him the 13th best defender in the league so far this season– regardless of position.

done nothing to disappoint?
i don't care what his stats say, i know what i see on the floor: he's been horrible defensively.
(stats can obviously be manipulated in many fashions. i'll have to take a close look at those numbers and the methodology. )
he can't guard anyone, one-on-one.
often, the pistons end up playing a 3-2 zone, when mcgrady is in the game, with mcgrady and a big man down low. when this has happened, it has forced a big guy – CV or max, for instance – to play out on the perimeter, chasing a smaller player.
and when he has had to guard someone on the perimeter – a SG or SF – that player has routinely been able to almost walk around mcgrady.
the one thing that is interesting, however, is that he still gets respect from the refs, as befits a superstar, as he is allowed to hack and rip at the guy he is guarding in a way that no other piston is allowed to do. he definitely gets the superstar treatment in that respect and he takes full advantage as he is very aggressive about going after players, when he can get close to them.
as i said, i have no idea how that stat is compiled, but it bears no relation to what this fan has seen on the court.

@frankie d:
Are you familiar with Synergy Sports, the video scouting and stat service? Dan Feldman introduced it to PP here:
So far this season, Synergy has documented 10 iso play attempts against McGrady this season, only 2 of those 10 converted. This isn't about "manipulating stats", because with Synergy you can then watch all of those isolation plays as video clips.
"and when he has had to guard someone on the perimeter – a SG or SF – that player has routinely been able to almost walk around mcgrady."
I just watched every single video of McGrady guarding a player in isolation on the perimeter. The videos include McGrady guarding Brandon Roy, Gerald Wallace, Stephen Jackson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Durant and Travis Outlaw. Of those, only Paul Pierce scored, and the only other player that was able to create a line to the basket was Stephen Jackson who McGrady forced into Ben Wallace who took the charge. Beyond the lone basket and the Jackson play, McGrady's defense on the perimeter looks STIFLING. His man just falls apart and can't get a shot up through him– and certainly can't get around him.

thanks for the link and i'll certainly watch the video in a while. i have to run an errand and won't be able to get to it for about an hour or so.
initially, however, i have this to say.
10 instances? i am not a stats expert, but i know enough about stats to know that 10 is an extremely small sample upon which to draw any conclusion. any poll that attempted to discern any conclusion based on 10 interviews would be laughed out of any discussion. any person familiar with stats and numbers will tell you that you cannot make any kind of reliable conclusion based on a sample of 10. especially if those the ten in a particular sample are not selected in a manner to make them representative of a larger whole.
secondly, these are all obviously selected, subjectively, for whatever purpose. as i noted, when i've watched mcgrady the team most times tries to hide him in that 3-2 zone. if they had such great confidence in his ability to defend, then why do they attempt to hide him in the bottom of a zone that will not require him to extend out on to the perimeter?
(by the way, roy is hobbled, has been all year and is a shell of himself. everyone and their mother has been guarding roy well.)
the freep – i think it was the freep – had a short piece this weekend on mcgrady, where they praised him for his offense against washington, but also advised that he struggled to keep up with nick young, hardly an offensive juggernaut.
frankly, this is extremely amusing.
now mcgrady is a defensive stopper.
i doubt if even coach k or joe dumars would venture to describe mcgrady in those terms.
btw, you conveniently forget to note that i agree that mcgrady has been aggressive about going after players, when he can get close to them. and he has been able to get away with hacking guys that he can get his hands on. typical superstar treatment in the nba. as a detroit fan, i certainly don't object to a piston finally getting a bit of superstar leniency, but i don't confuse that for defensive proficiency.
and all of the guys you note – except for durant – are power players who go over and through guys. not the type of very athletic player that mcgrady just has not been asked to guard often, if at all. other pistons have been forced to guard those guys while mcgrady has been hiding down low in that 3-2 zone.

@frankie d:
"10 instances? i am not a stats expert, but i know enough about stats to know that 10 is an extremely small sample upon which to draw any conclusion."
If I was making a conclusion, I'd agree with you. I wasn't. I was careful about how I phrased my initial point about McGrady, by saying that "so far this season" that McGrady has had one of the best defensive performances in the league. I'm not suggesting that it's sustainable nor did I make any other conclusion about what the team can expect out of McGrady for the rest of the season. I chimed in here to share the observation, not a conclusion, which is sourced in objective data.
Back to the whole point of my responding to you:
"10 instances?"
Yes, 10 instances– all ten plays in which McGrady has been defending an iso play on the perimeter. These aren't cherry-picked, they were categorized by Synergy Sports in the exact play type where you suggested players were "blowing by McGrady".
You mentioned that these players have "routinely been able to almost walk around mcgrady". So I looked it up and watched the plays. There were 10 of them. I watched every single one. Nothing you described was happening. Nada.
"now mcgrady is a defensive stopper."
Again, did I ever say that? My entire point of chiming in on this thread was to share the surprise I had when discovering this nugget of data. I'm not making any conclusions about Tracy McGrady, only reporting what has happened so far this season. My point of contention with you is that your note about perimeter iso defense isn't reflected statistically or in the video available. It's kind of pointless to dispute that, since it just isn't there and I don't know what to tell you.
"btw, you conveniently forget to note"
It wasn't convenient, it just wasn't related to the reason I engaged you here. I disagree with the assessment that players are "blowing by" or "walking around" McGrady on perimeter iso plays. That's it. Nothing more. I think you're confused about what it is I'm saying and what it is I disagree with you about.

"On 49 defensive possessions so far this season, Tracy is holding his man to 29.7% shooting. That makes him the 13th best defender in the league so far this season– regardless of position."
this is what you posted initially.
that sounds awfully like a conclusion to me. the 13th best defender…
"…so far…" qualifies the conclusion somewhat, but that is still a heck of a conclusion.
i've seen mcgrady isolated many more times than 10 this season. on the occasions when i've seen him, and he's been isolated on a guy, he has routinely been beaten in that manner.
i have no idea how synergy compiles it's stats or comes up with video clips that illustrate it's point. i could not get into the website in order to check it out. i guess you have to pay to do so.
but, again, i know what i've seen and what i've seen has been a hobbled, almost crippled mcgrady.
are you arguing that when mcgrady was first inserted into the lineup, when he was barely able to move around, that he was this "stifling" defender?
if that is the case, why has your website mate, dan feldman, until recently, argued that he still was not sure that mcgrady was doing anything to earn his minutes on the court.
this is what dan feldman said about mcgrady after the boston game, the 4th game of the year:
"When Tracy McGrady left the game for DaJuan Summers, I had no idea it was because McGrady's knee was bothering him. I guess I can't tell the difference between a healthy and injured McGrady anymore.
McGrady has done nothing to earn minutes, and it's time Kuester pulls him from the rotation. I told this to Patrick during the game tonight, and he agreed, saying, "Yeah. Summers is much better than McGrady."
I honest had no idea if he was being sarcastic (he wasn't), and that should say something about the state of the Pistons' rotation. Not only are they playing someone whose knees prevent him from making any type of impact, I can't tell if his replacement is any better."
this is after what you call mcgrady playing "stifling" defense on kevin durant and travis outlaw. surely mr. feldman should have noticed such stifling defense on those two players, especially mr. durant, an MVP candidate. and i'd imagine that he may have mentioned it. or at the very least, that he would not have stated that mcgrady had done nothing to earn minutes and that he should have been pulled from the line up.
what i recall is mcgrady hobbling around the court, incapable of guarding anyone and trying to hide in the lane, along with the pistons' big guy in that zone.
and i do specifically recall a guy like kyle korver torching mcgrady during chicago's victory. and once mcgrady not even being able to run down court with korver who beat him down, spotted up and drained a very important jumper at a crucial point in that game.
korver torched mcgrady for several baskets that game, but somehow that performance doesn't get mentioned.
i guess dan feldman didn't see what the stats at synergy saw. i guess he must have been blind to that rodman-like stifling defense.
i guess i missed it also.

"that sounds awfully like a conclusion to me. the 13th best defender…
"…so far…" qualifies the conclusion somewhat, but that is still a heck of a conclusion."
I didn't make that conclusion, Synergy did. That is his defensive ranking, league-wide.
"are you arguing that when mcgrady was first inserted into the lineup, when he was barely able to move around, that he was this "stifling" defender?"
I'm not arguing anything, I'm sharing the data compiled by Synergy. I used the word "stifling" to describe the 20% shooting he has held his opponent to in isolation, upon watching the videos. I still stand by that, so do Synergy's stats.
"korver torched mcgrady for several baskets that game, but somehow that performance doesn't get mentioned."
Duuuuuude, stick to the point of discussion. None of those baskets were isolation plays on the perimeter, the sole thing I'm arguing with you about. Man, you're making this out to be a discussion about McGrady's entire game, when the only thing I've been talking about in our back-and-forth is McGrady's perimeter defense in isolation play. Repeat that to yourself. Two times. Then a third. Like I said:
"McGrady's defense on the perimeter looks STIFLING"
You said he gets "blown by" and "walked around" in isolation on the perimeter, and this is the one single thing I disagree with you about. Circular discussions and straw man arguments make Jack a dull boy.

and ignoring real arguments and points makes someone very dishonest.
i have to run now, but i also noticed that in addition to constantly changing what you are supposedly writing about you have conveniently ignored what your own colleague wrote.
but i guess that happens when you really cannot defend what you post.
btw, you didn't say, synergy says…
you posted a conclusion based on evidence from synergy.
at least be honest and acknowledge what you have actually written.
gotta run.

T-Mac nuthugger here chiming in…
T-Mac's on ball defense has always been good. That the synergy stats bear this out doesn't surprise me, even given the fact that he has struggled to move fluidly most of this season (though he started to look a lot more fluid in the last game at Dallas)
It's not his on ball defense, but his off the ball, team defense that has always been his weakspot. He often loses sight of his man, ignores cutters, fails to box out, etc. This was true even when he was fully healthy.
Does synergy track these types of defensive plays? It would be interesting to know..

Merriam-Webster Adds Green Words to Dictionary
Carbon footprint, locavore and green-collar are among this year's additions.
If the words we add to our dictionaries serve as a cultural barometer, this year's additions to Merriam-Webster show that green is becoming further entrenched in our lexicon. Here are the green words added to its latest edition:
Carbon footprint (1999): the negative impact that something (as a person or business) has on the environment; specifically: the amount of carbon emitted by something during a given period.
Green-collar (1990): of, relating to, or involving actions for protecting the natural environment. < green-collar jobs>.
Locavore (2005): one who eats foods grown locally whenever possible.
Staycation (2005): a vacation spent at home or nearby.
Merriam-Webster trails behind the Oxford English Dictionary, which added "staycation" last year, and named "locavore" its word of the year in 2007. We'll see what green words will come next. Perhaps "smart grid", "freegan" or "cap-and-trade"?

Calm down guys. It'll be released before the Weezer cruise for certain, so probably December or early January.
I imagine their goal would be to get it out in time to capitalize on Christmas sales. January wouldn't make much sense. Of course, considering there's no news on a preorder or anything, it sure seems possible.

haha ok well played, very clever (no sarcasm here, I'm serious). And your point is well taken. I just don't see how being snarky to Sarah is going to make the project available to us any faster. And I don't think it's lying, they probably honestly don't know due to something out of their control. Who knows what is holding it up the production; maybe they Just Threw Out the Proof of their Dreams, maybe it ended up in a Black H***. Let's all be honest with ourselves--no update short of "hey it's ready and you can order it now!" is going to make us happy, and I think they know that. Any further update would just sound like an excuse. So Why Bother getting all upset and asking. Let's all just stop holding our collective breath accept what will be, will be.

Do "conservatives" give more to charitable causes than "liberals"? According to Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks, they do. Dr. Brooks, a professor of public administration at Syracuse's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, was quite astounded with the results of his own research, which was so at variance with the common perception of the generous "liberal" and the Scrooge-like "conservative."
In his book, Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservativism (Basic Books, 2006), Brooks discovered that approximately equal percentages of liberals and conservatives give to private charitable causes. However, conservatives gave about 30 percent more money per year to private charitable causes, even though his study found liberal families earned an average of 6 percent more per year in income than did conservative families. This greater generosity among conservative families proved to be true in Brooks' research for every income group, "from poor to middle class to rich."
This "giving gap" also extended beyond money to time donated to charitable causes, as well. Brooks also discovered that in 2002, conservative Americans were much more likely to donate blood each year than liberals and to do so more often within a year. Brooks found "if liberals and moderates gave blood at the same rate as conservatives, the blood supply in the United States would jump by about 45 percent."
When Brooks compared his findings to IRS data on the percentage of household income given away, he found that "red" states in the 2004 election were more charitable than "blue" states. Brooks found that 24 of the 25 states that were above average in family charitable giving voted for Bush in 2004, and 17 of the 25 states below average in giving voted for Kerry. Brooks concluded, "The electoral map and the charity map are remarkably similar."
Why? A clue may be found in the 1996 General Social Survey, which asked Americans whether they agreed that "the government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality." People who "disagreed strongly" with that statement gave 12 times more money to charity per year than those who "agreed strongly" with the statement.
One's values, beliefs and political philosophies seem to impact how much one shares of one's own income with the less fortunate in society. Facts are often surprising and illuminating.
