The 7 Most Overused Words on the Internet
The Internet has made communication easier than ever before, increasing our understanding of other people and just how stupid it's possible for them to be while remaining able to work an "ON" button.
"I just leave it on overnight to save two minutes in the morning. Ha, I out-stupided you!"
Internet comments are what would happen if Tron had sewers: mostly shit, but an essential service with this many people in one place, and sometimes you find something as awesome as ninja turtles.
From comments on this article
I love these people.
But digging through a steaming mound of comments is time consuming, which is why we've developed words that compress paragraphs of stupidity into a couple of syllables. These conversational zip files tell us everything we need to know about the commenter and let us skip the post, safe in the knowledge that we're proving our childhood lessons wrong and getting smarter by not reading something.
#7. "Um"
What They Think They're Saying
You're wrong in so many ways that even their throbbing brain must struggle to organize them all. Dealing with your idiocy has become the moon mission of Internet comments: Even this rocket surgeon must work to comprehend the scale of the project before triumphing over it for the good of all mankind. You're about to be schooled so hard that you'll end this comment with a Ph.D. and have to spend the rest of your life known as Dr. Dumbass.
"Um, hello? Call of Duty is like totally better than Battlefags 3!"
What They're Actually Saying
Anyone trying to show off how smart they are succeeds, but not in the way they think. Thinking frequently goes wrong for them. Especially when they're using the most annoying noise in the English language. In real life, "um" is how people continue to make noise before their brains are ready. They can't bear the risk of anyone else speaking, so this caveman grunt announces "My incoherent gormlessness is more important than anything the rest of you could say." If they can't think of what to say, perfect! They've attained a vital self-truth and should keep their noise-vent shut until the situation changes. This verbal loading screen is the conversational equivalent of refusing to pass it to the right.
"The longer I make noise, the more I win at this conversation!"
Online it's even worse. Posts aren't made in real time: They're not sent until they're ready, so this informationless noise is now silent and does less than nothing, achieving a paradox of pointless nothingness zen monks spend their lives working toward. Putting "um" in text is like putting wasp stings into toilet paper: Now it's pointless, even more annoying, and only used by assholes.
#6. "Meh"
What They Think They're Saying
YOU HAVE FAILED! Your only task was to amuse this elite viewer, and now -- like the emperor of the Colosseum -- the merest motion of their hand dismisses you in front of a baying crowd.
"Psh, only three tigers? And he called them the next day?"
What They're Actually Saying
That you can ignore them forever. When someone can't be bothered to use more than three letters to convey their own opinion, it's because it's worthless. They've plumbed the depths of their soul in a world of infinite information and returned a 404 error.
"Maybe if I spread a pointless waste of time to everyone else in the world, there'll be less of it in me!"
"Meh" is mindlessly egocentric hatred. They don't really care about what they're commenting on, but really think everyone else in the world wants to know that. It's an epidemic symptom of special snowflake syndrome: It doesn't matter that you're so apathetic that even your emotions can't be bothered to turn up for you, you're still important! It often precedes a patient explanation from a teenager at a keyboard that jumping a burning jet ski over three tanks is pretty good, he supposes, but a real pro would have done it in an open-crotch Speedo. Because every time someone comments "meh," a pointless dick has been added to the situation.
They managed to fail "If you can't think of anything nice to say, don't say anything" at the "think of anything" stage. Apathy is without question the worst mental state. Lunatic near-genocidal hatred put men on the moon. Lust led to some of the greatest artworks in history. Greed has driven more technology than gasoline (with an awful lot of overlap). Apathy is how you tell your parents they should have masturbated.
#5. "You, Sir"
What They Think They're Saying
While you may be wronger than the union of a lady and a mule, despite being the result of exactly that, they shall remain civil while destroying you.
A moment while I don my admonishocle.
What They're Actually Saying
More asshole text than a proctology handbook. If words could wear fedoras, "You, sir" would have fitted them with frilly ruffles. They're all things that were cool a few advances in human society ago. People don't actually call each other "sir" anymore, unless they're being sarcastic or working for a business that hasn't investigated how human beings talk for several decades. Usually both. "You, sir" now reverses the polarity on "with all due respect" -- what follows will be blatant insults, but it's the asshole giving them instead of receiving them.
"And they can only hit you half as much when you're wearing a monocle."
"You, sir" no longer implies an era of dignity where people remained civil because there was a real chance of being stabbed for rudeness. The Internet wouldn't survive under those conditions. We'd end up with a LAN so small, it would be faster to shout. "You, sir" now announces an idiot who's about to explain your mistakes while addressing you as an equal, and being wrong about both of those. When they add "for shame," they might as well write their point under a picture of themselves cavorting in a furred loincloth -- it's impossible to take them seriously, and only slightly less out of date.
#4. "Heh"
What They Think They're Saying
You fool! Your pathetic efforts have attracted the attention of the Lord of the Internet, and they amuse him not. Beyond merely wrong, you're so wrong and easily defeated that it would amuse this jaded Internet warrior if his years of copy-pasting image macros had left anything in this tired world that could move his iron heart.
"Heh, Hawkings is trying to sound smart again. That's adorable."
What They're Actually Saying
Cheeto-colored neckbeard. That stereotype is stupid, lazy and hateful, which is why it's a perfect match for the phrase. It's the most powerful image encryption algorithm in existence, conveying a smirk that actually exerts a fifth fundamental force to attract punching fists from vast distances. The word "red" doesn't encode as much information in so few characters.
Heh, you think you can take this on?
"Heh" works in chat clients, but in comments it's like unzipping your fly: OK with another person with context and the right atmosphere, but do it in front of everyone without warning and nothing good is about to be revealed. It condenses more smugness than Wall Street into an almost lethally superior syllable. "Heh" is the evil opposite of "LOL." "LOL" is an excitable puppy -- it's a bit stupid and it shits the place up, but at least it's genuinely enjoying itself. "Heh" is what hollow shells type when they've forgotten what actual laughter is like and are trying to fool the real humans before attacking them.
"Awww, who makes uptight grammarians upset? You do! Yes you do!"

In 1927, the Good Cheer Fund raised $1,797 to help the less fortunate in the Lowcountry. This year, thanks to the overwhelming generosity of The Post and Couriers readers, we are proud to announce a year-end total of $361,770.21, making 2012 second only to the $368,763.87 raised in 2007 and bringing the all-time total to more than $6.8 million.
To help
To donate to the Good Cheer Fund, go to goodcheerfund.com. For more stories, go to postand courier.com/goodcheer.
Every cent of that money has gone toward helping our neighbors in need during the holiday season, from feeding the hungry to helping families in crisis to sheltering the homeless in the Lowcountry. Whether your donation was big or small, our fund recipients thank you and we thank you.
None of this would be possible without the generous support of our readers.
There are no administrative costs associated with the fund and all the money is distributed to six local agencies Coastal Catholic Charities, Carolina Youth Development Center, Lowcountry Food Bank, Association for the Blind, Star Gospel Mission and the Salvation Army to help meet the areas most critical needs, ranging from rental and utility assistance to medical assistance to nutritious food.
In addition, several folks stepped up this year and provided items specifically needed by a couple of families we wrote about in our daily case histories, making the holidays even brighter for these clients.
The following contributions have been received since last week. Acknowledgement of any donations received after Dec. 28 will be published at the beginning of the 2013 Good Cheer Fund campaign in November.

Post by:
Brian Paris, DC, CBP Fellow, NASM-PES & Colin Cooley, MS, NASM-PES of Performance Lacrosse
Sagittal plane movement is the dominant plane of training in the exercise and conditioning world. The training world is filled with open chain exercise machines that stress unidirectional movement in this plane. Chest press, shoulder press, leg press, and lat pull down machines flood gyms and training facilities across the world. Their prevalence stems from the training origins of body building and the fact that these movements can be easily observed in a mirror. Anyone with an interest in training cannot forget its origins but research dictates that we must move beyond the world of open chain hypertrophy training. Understanding how the brain and body function synergistically helps the lacrosse player become more effective on the field and avoid injury.
During your last lacrosse game, did you press a heavy load slowly off your chest while sitting with your feet off the ground or did you press a heavy load slowly while sitting with your legs in the air? Well, if you answered yes then you are not playing the fastest game on two feet. These sagittal plane exercises/machines are designed to create muscle hypertrophy (increase in size) and strength based on the anatomical origins and insertions of specific muscles or muscle groups. In order to move fast in the sagittal plane on the lacrosse field one must train the muscles, more specifically the muscle groups that produce force in this plane of motion. One must also prepare the nervous system (brain) and body to fire off synergistically during these movements. Hard work AND smart work is required to perform better on the lacrosse field-train smart, train hard. The lacrosse player must be concerned with becoming stronger, faster and smarter.
In order to move effectively and produce force in the sagittal plane one must focus on training movements in the sagittal plane. When the brain and body coordinate to move, the muscles that create that movement are trained. So don't fret that you may not get a pump or feel like you did not work out if your focus is on training movements, not muscles. The easiest example of a sagittal plane movement is sprinting forward or backpedaling. However, for this article we will focus on training methods as opposed to conditioning and/or running. Traditional lacrosse training and conditioning stresses sagittal plane movements such as sprints, backpedaling, burpees, etc. It is less common to see teams including transverse or frontal plane movements in their training and conditioning, however, most of the game of lacrosse involves explosive movement in these overlooked and under trained planes of motion.
The intention of these articles is to provide a training platform of full body movements in the sagittal, frontal and transverse planes, starting with stability, and then adding strength and power or explosive exercises. Using full body movements in training engages the core and prepares the nervous system for the variety of movements in lacrosse. A training program should always first center on stability. Training without stability is like shooting a cannon out of a canoe. Many athletes are 'functionally dysfunctional' and end up injured or immobile later in life. These movements must be integrated in the training and conditioning of lacrosse prior to engaging in strength and power movements. Stability can be broken down into static and dynamic. Static stability is also known as posture. This is where all movement begins. Abnormal posture in any plane starts the athlete with an asymmetrical platform for movement. It alters the length tension relationships of muscles and ligaments. Abnormal posture also alters joint position sensors (mechanoreceptors) which diminishes the brain's ability to feed back and feed forward information for effective movement. Dynamic stability is symmetry of movement through all degrees of freedom. Abnormal static posture will lead to abnormal dynamic abilities.
Sagittal Posture
Sagittal plane posture is your posture from the side. For reference points, your ears should line up over your shoulders, your shoulders over your hips and your hips over your ankles.
The picture to the right illustrates frontal and sagittal plane ideal
Dynamic Flexibility
Dynamic flexibility has been proven to be more effective in preparing the brain and body for the movements of sport. So what is wrong with old school static stretching? Numerous studies are showing the same finding: Static stretching before an
athletic event notably impairs the capability of our muscles to produce peak force output. It has been studied in specific sports: lacrosse players cannot sprint as fast, basketball players cannot jump as high, rugby players can't push as hard, when they do a static stretching routine before these events. Why? Well static stretching does not raise your core temperature at all, so your body is not becoming any more ready to go into full drive. You are stretching your muscles past their normal flexibility and this decreases the force capability of the contraction thereafter. In some cases, hyper extension injuries were shown to be higher when an athlete followed a static stretching regimen prior to an event. Static stretching is not bad; it just has no place in the realm of preparing athletes to play a dynamic, multi-planar athletic event. Dynamic warm ups get our bodies ready to do what we need them to. They increase our range of motion dramatically, warm up our bodies significantly, stretch all core muscles including the legs trunk and upper body and can be made to be sport specific. Below are some dynamic warm up examples (sagittal plane).
Strength Exercises
Strength is the body's ability to produce force against resistance. The exercises below demonstrate using body weight and gravity as resistance. The affect of gravity is enhanced by performing these movements from a suspended position. Suspended pushups and pull ups are great starter exercises for building full body strength in the sagittal plane.
Power/Explosive Exercises
In physics, power is defined as the amount of energy required or expended for a given unit of time. In other words, power and explosive movements are strength over a period of time. To move fast on the field, training must encompass using strength in shorter periods of time. Improving power and explosiveness requires altering the time variable.

The rapper was spotted in L.A. on Friday wearing a gold necklace with his daughter Nori's name on it.
The proud papa, 36, previously admitted that welcoming his first child with girlfriend Kim Kardashian in June has changed his outlook on life.
"After I lost my mother, [Donda, in 2007] there were times I felt like I would put my life at risk," he said on his future mother-in-law Kris Jenner's show in August. "I felt like sometimes I didn't have something to live for. Now I have two really special to live for, a whole family to life for, a whole world to live for."

i've never paid more than 350 per acre and in some cases less than 100.
up here, swamp land is ....................just that. worthless to most everyone except a few like me. most of the reaction i get is............"you will actually pay me for this piece?!!!"
with few hunters, plenty of birds and lot's of good habitat.............i simply just keep my eyes and ears open, all year round, till i find my next honeyhole. :)
that would be my advise to you...............be looking ALL the time. good luck.
Another option you may want to consider is leasing land. It takes the right set of circumstances and the right owner to work with, but it's do-able. I built a pothole earlier this year on a property I lease. The details of how it works can be whatever you and the owner can agree on but I would suggest at a minimum you cover what happens if the owner wants to terminate the lease after you've invested a bunch of time & money into building your duck hole. The way mine is structured, the owner would actually pay me a set value/year for any year less than the originally agreed term of the lease that I didn't get to use it. The whole key to making this work is covering all the details in the lease agreement.
It wasn't but a few years ago that I was in your place out here in Oregon. Back home in Nebraska, I had the central flyway at my back door and hunting permission was as simple as an introduction, the promise close the gate, and maybe a bottle as a thank you at the end of the season. In Oregon as it is in much of Texas, California, etc. it's all "Pay to Play!" For young guys like you (and myself) we need to think outside of the box while we're getting our scratch together for the dream piece of property down the road.
Unlike like the guys that have the green to buy some established water or a seat in a blue ribbon duck club, you're going to have to do some work to make your dollars stretch (and from the sound of it you're ready to do just that!).
Don't look at the obvious - Start looking at land without existing ponds, streams, wetland etc. but has the potential to hold water. Is there a windmill, a well, water rights? What type of soil is on the site (this is a little deeper than most people go, but with a pretty basic online survey, we can judge the potential of the site to hold water - I can help you with that if you need)? Almost every soil can be made to hold water. I've helped to turn cow pastures into blue ribbon trout water and make irrigation ditches look like gently braided streams - with the knowledge and right technique you can grow and transform a degraded dusty pasture into a lush pothole that grows mallards and pintails!
See the potential and share it - Without having to own the land, there is still the opportunity to develop it, hunt it, and potentially profit from it. I found a ranch in NW Oregon that had 1000 acres backed up against the Columbia river and bordered on the other side by extensive tidal marshes. I had a relationship with the landowner and had some moderate success hunting it for several seasons. I then built a duck club proposal that outlined the channel modifications, potential construction and blind costs, and probable price per gun that could be yielded upon the habitat upgrades. If you word it in such a way that if you put in the footwork and muscle to bring it about while they front the expenses (be it a little at a time for a gradual build) you can get yourself a solid seat or two in the new club as well as a management position keeping it going and caring for the land. In a scenario like this, the more pros you can present to the landowner with as few costs (be it time or money) to them, them more likely you can make this happen.
I hope this helped and encouraged you in your search. Keep us posted with what you find and shoot the forum more questions if you have any!

Frank Sinatra
was arguably the most important popular music figure of the 20th century, his only real rivals for the title being
Bing Crosby
Elvis Presley
, and
the Beatles
. In a professional career that lasted 60 years, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to maintain his appeal and pursue his musical goals despite often countervailing trends. He came to the fore during the swing era of the 1930s and '40s, helped to define the "sing era" of the '40s and '50s, and continued to attract listeners during the rock era that began in the mid-'50s. He scored his first number one hit in 1940 and was still making million-selling recordings in 1994. This popularity was a mark of his success at singing and promoting the American popular song as it was written, particularly in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. He was able to take the work of great theater composers of that period, such as
Jerome Kern
Irving Berlin
George Gershwin
Cole Porter
, and
Richard Rodgers
, and reinterpret their songs for later audiences in a way that led to their rediscovery and their permanent enshrinement as classics. On records and in live performances, on film, radio, and television, he consistently sang standards in a way that demonstrated their perennial appeal.
The son of a fireman,
dropped out of high school in his senior year to pursue a career in music. In September 1935, he appeared as part of the vocal group the Hoboken Four on Major Bowes' Original Amateur Hour. The group won the radio show contest and toured with Bowes.
then took a job as a singing waiter and MC at the Rustic Cabin in Englewood, NJ. He was still singing there in the spring of 1939, when he was heard over the radio by trumpeter
Harry James
, who had recently organized his own big band after leaving
Benny Goodman
, and the new singer made his first recordings on July 13, 1939. At the end of the year,
accepted an offer from the far more successful bandleader
Tommy Dorsey
, jumping to his new berth in January 1940. Over the next two and a half years, he was featured on 16 Top Ten hits recorded by
, among them the chart-topper "I'll Never Smile Again," later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. During this period, he also performed on various radio shows with
and appeared with the band in the films Las Vegas Nights (1941) and Ship Ahoy (1942).
In January 1942, he tested the waters for a solo career by recording a four-song session arranged and conducted by
Axel Stordahl
that included
Cole Porter
's "Night and Day," which became his first chart entry under his own name in March 1942. Soon after, he gave
left the
band in September 1942. The recording ban called by the American Federation of Musicians, which had begun the previous month, initially prevented him from making records, but he appeared on a 15-minute radio series, Songs By Sinatra, from October through the end of the year and also did a few live dates. His big breakthrough came due to his engagement as a support act to
Benny Goodman
at the Paramount Theatre in New York, which began on New Year's Eve. It made him a popular phenomenon, the first real teen idol, with school girls swooning in the aisles. RCA Victor, which had been doling out stockpiled
recordings during the strike, scored with "There Are Such Things," which had a
vocal; it hit number one in January 1943, as did "In the Blue of the Evening," another
record featuring
, in August, while a third
release, "It's Always You," hit the Top Five later in the year, and a fourth, "I'll Be Seeing You," reached the Top Ten in 1944. Columbia, which controlled the
Harry James
recordings, reissued the four-year-old "All or Nothing at All," re-billed as being by
Frank Sinatra
Harry James & His Orchestra
, and it hit number one in September. Meanwhile, the label had signed
as a solo artist, and in a temporary loophole to the recording ban, put him in the studio to record a cappella, backed only by a vocal chorus. This resulted in four Top Ten hits in 1943, among them "People Will Say We're in Love" from
Richard Rodgers
Oscar Hammerstein II
's musical Oklahoma!, and a fifth in early 1944 ("I Couldn't Sleep a Wink Last Night") before protests from the musicians union ended a cappella recording.
In February 1943,
was hired by the popular radio series Your Hit Parade, on which he performed through the end of 1944. Adding to his radio duties, he appeared from June through October on Broadway Bandbox and in the fall again took up the Songs by Sinatra show, which ran through December. In January, it was expanded to a half-hour as The Frank Sinatra Show, which ran for a year and a half. In April 1943, he made his first credited appearance in a motion picture, singing "Night and Day" in Reveille with Beverly. This was followed by Higher and Higher, released in December, in which he had a small acting role, playing himself, and by Step Lively, released in July 1944, which gave him a larger part. MGM was sufficiently impressed by these performances to put him under contract. The recording ban was lifted in November 1944, and
returned to making records, beginning with a cover of
Irving Berlin
's "White Christmas" that was in the Top Ten before the end of the year. Among his eight recordings to peak in the Top Ten in 1945 were
Jule Styne
Sammy Cahn
's "Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night of the Week),"
Johnny Mercer
's "Dream,"
's "I Should Care," and "If I Loved You" and "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the
Rodgers & Hammerstein
musical Carousel.
insisted that
be hired to write the songs for his first MGM musical, Anchors Aweigh, and over the course of his career, the singer recorded more songs by
(a lyricist who worked with several composers) than by any other songwriter. Anchors Aweigh, in which
was paired with
Gene Kelly
, was released in July 1945 and went on to become the most successful film of the year.
returned to radio in September with a new show bearing an old name, Songs by Sinatra. It ran weekly for the next two seasons, concluding in June 1947. Among his eight Top Ten hits in 1946 were two that hit number one ("Oh! What It Seemed to Be" and
's "Five Minutes More"), as well as "They Say It's Wonderful" and "The Girl That I Marry" from
Irving Berlin
's musical Annie Get Your Gun,
Jerome Kern
's "All Through the Day," and
Kurt Weill
's "September Song." He also topped the album charts with the collection The Voice of Frank Sinatra. His only film appearance for the year came in Till the Clouds Roll By, a biography of the recently deceased Kern, in which he sang "Ol' Man River."
By 1947,
's early success had crested, though he continued to work steadily in several media. On radio, he returned to the cast of Your Hit Parade in September 1947, appearing on the series for the next two seasons, then had his own 15-minute show, Light-Up Time, during 1949-1950. On film, he appeared in five more movies through the end of the decade, including both big-budget MGM musicals like On the Town and minor efforts such as The Kissing Bandit. He scored eight Top Ten hits in 1947-1949, including "Mam'selle," which hit number one in May 1947, and "Some Enchanted Evening," from the
Rodgers & Hammerstein
musical South Pacific. He also hit the Top Ten of the album charts with 1947's
Songs by Sinatra
and 1948's
Christmas Songs by Sinatra
's career was in decline by the start of the '50s, but he was far from inactive. He entered the fall of 1950 with both a new radio show and his first venture into television. On radio, there was Meet Frank Sinatra, which found the singer acting as a disc jockey; it ran through the end of the season. On TV, there was The Frank Sinatra Show, a musical-variety series; it lasted until April 1952. His film work had nearly subsided, though in March 1952 came the drama Meet Danny Wilson, which tested his acting abilities and gave him the opportunity to sing such songs as
Harold Arlen
Johnny Mercer
's "That Old Black Magic," "I've Got a Crush on You" by
Ira Gershwin
, and "How Deep Is the Ocean?" by
Irving Berlin
At Columbia Records,
came into increasing conflict with musical director
Mitch Miller
, who was finding success for his singers by using novelty material and gimmicky arrangements.
resisted this approach, and though he managed to score four more Top Ten hits during 1950-1951 -- among them an unlikely reading of the folk standard "Goodnight Irene" -- he and Columbia parted ways. Thus, ten years after launching his solo career, he ended 1952 without a record, film, radio, or television contract. Then he turned it all around. The first step was recording.
agreed to a long-term, boilerplate contract with Capitol Records, which had been co-founded by
Johnny Mercer
a decade earlier and had a roster full of faded '40s performers. In June 1953, he scored his first Top Ten hit in a year and a half with "I'm Walking Behind You." Then in August, he returned to film, playing a non-singing, featured role in the World War II drama From Here to Eternity, a performance that earned respect for his acting abilities, to the extent that he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the part on March 25, 1954. In the fall of 1953,
began two new radio series: Rocky Fortune, a drama on which he played a detective, ran from October to March 1954; and The Frank Sinatra Show was a 15-minute, twice-a-week music series that ran for two seasons, concluding in July 1955.
had begun working with arranger/conductor
Nelson Riddle
, a pairing that produced notable chart entries in February 1954 on both the singles and albums charts. "Young-at-Heart," which just missed hitting number one, was the singer's biggest single since 1947, and the song went on to become a standard. (The title was used for a 1955 movie in which
starred.) Then there was the 10" LP
Songs for Young Lovers
, the first of
's "concept" albums, on which he and
revisited classic songs by
Cole Porter
, the Gershwins, and
and Hart in contemporary arrangements with vocal interpretations that conveyed the wit and grace of the lyrics. The album lodged in the Top Five. In July,
had another Top Ten single with
's "Three Coins in the Fountain," and in September Swing Easy! matched the success of its predecessor on the LP chart. By the middle of the '50s,
had reclaimed his place as a star singer and actor; in fact, he had taken a more prominent place than he had had in the heady days of the mid-'40s. In 1955, he hit number one with the single "Learnin' the Blues" and the 12" LP
In the Wee Small Hours
, a ballad collection later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
On September 15, 1955, he appeared in a television production of Our Town and sang "Love and Marriage" (specially written by
Sammy Cahn
and his new partner James Van Heusen), which became a Top Five hit. Early in 1956, he was back in the Top Ten with
and Van Heusen's "(Love Is) The Tender Trap," the theme song from his new film, The Tender Trap. As part of his thematic concepts for his albums of the '50s,
alternated between records devoted to slow arrangements (
In the Wee Small Hours
) and those given over to dance charts (
Swing Easy
). By the late winter of 1956, the schedule called for another dance album, and
Songs for Swingin' Lovers!
, released in March, filled the bill, stopping just short of number one and going gold. The rise of rock & roll and
Elvis Presley
began to make the singles charts the almost-exclusive province of teen idols, but
's "Hey! Jealous Lover" (by
Sammy Cahn
Kay Twomey
, and
Bee Walker
), released in October, gave him another Top Five hit in 1957. Meanwhile, he ruled the LP charts. The Capitol singles compilation
This Is Sinatra!
, released in November, hit the Top Ten and went gold.
began 1957 by releasing
Close to You
, a ballad album with accompaniment by a string quartet, in February. It hit the Top Five, followed in May by
A Swingin' Affair!
, which went to number one, and another ballad album, Where Are You?, a Top Five hit after release in September. He was also represented in the LP charts in November by the soundtrack to his film Pal Joey (based on a
Rodgers & Hart
musical), which hit the Top Five, and by the seasonal collection
A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra
, which eventually was certified platinum. The Joker Is Wild, another of his 1957 films, featured the
-Van Heusen song "All the Way," which became a Top Five single. In October, he returned to prime time television with another series called The Frank Sinatra Show, but it lasted only one season, and subsequently he restricted his TV appearances largely to specials (of which he made many).
In February 1958,
reached the Top Ten with "Witchcraft," his last single to perform that well for the next eight years. That month, Capitol released
Come Fly with Me
, a travel-themed rhythm album, which hit number one. The year's ballad album, Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely, released in September, also topped the charts, and it went gold. In between, Capitol released the compilation This Is Sinatra, Vol. 2, which hit the Top Ten. 1959 followed a similar pattern.
Come Dance with Me!
appeared in January and became a gold-selling Top Ten hit. It also won
Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and for vocal performance.
Look to Your Heart
, a compilation, was released in the spring and reached the Top Ten. And
No One Cares
, the year's ballad collection, appeared in the summer and just missed topping the charts.
gradually did less singing in his movies of the '50s, but in March 1960, he appeared in a movie version of
Cole Porter
's musical Can-Can, and the resulting soundtrack album hit the Top Ten. Meanwhile,
was beginning to think about the approaching end of his Capitol Records contract and to enter the studio less frequently for the company. His next regular album was a year in coming, and when it did,
Nice 'n' Easy
was a mid-tempo collection, breaking his pattern of alternating fast and slow albums. The wait may have caused pent-up demand; the album spent many weeks at number one and went gold. Although
had not yet completed his recording commitment to Capitol, he began in December 1960 to make recordings for his own label, which he called Reprise Records. As a result, record stores were deluged with five new
albums in 1961: in January, Capitol had
Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!!
; in April, Reprise was launched with the release of Ring-a-Ding Ding!; in July, Reprise followed with Sinatra Swings the same week that Capitol released Come Swing with Me!; and in October, Reprise had I Remember Tommy..., an album of songs
had sung with the
Tommy Dorsey
band. There was also the March compilation
All the Way
on Capitol, making for six releases in one year. Remarkably, they all reached the Top Ten.
Meanwhile, Reprise's first single, "The Second Time Around," a song written by
and Van Heusen for
Bing Crosby
, won
the Grammy for Record of the Year. By 1962, the market was glutted. Capitol released its last new
Point of No Return
, as well as a compilation, and Reprise put out three new LPs, but only Reprise's
Sinatra & Strings
reached the Top Ten. In 1963, however, all three Reprise releases,
The Concert Sinatra
, and the gold-selling
Sinatra's Sinatra
, made the Top Ten. The onset of
the Beatles
in 1964 began to do to the LP charts what
Elvis Presley
had done to the singles charts in 1956, but
continued to reach the Top Ten with his albums of the mid-'60s, albeit not as consistently. Days of Wine and Roses, Moon River, and Other Academy Award Winners hit that ranking in May 1964, as did
Sinatra '65
in August 1965. That same month,
mounted a commercial comeback by emphasizing his own advancing age. Nearing 50, he released
September of My Years
, a ballad collection keyed to the passage of time. After "It Was a Very Good Year" was drawn from the album as a single and rose into the Top 40, the LP took off for the Top Five and went gold. It was named 1965 Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, and
also picked up a trophy for best vocal performance for "It Was a Very Good Year."
In November 1965,
starred in a retrospective TV special, A Man and His Music, and released a corresponding double-LP, which reached the Top Ten and went gold. It won the 1966 Grammy for Album of the Year.
returned to number one on the singles charts for the first time in 11 years with the million-selling "Strangers in the Night" in July 1966; the song won him Grammys for Record of the Year and best vocal performance. A follow-up album named after the single topped the LP charts and went platinum. Before the end of the year,
had released two more Top Ten, gold-selling albums,
Sinatra at the Sands
That's Life
, the latter anchored by the title song, a Top Five single. In April 1967,
was back at number one on the singles charts with the million-selling "Somethin' Stupid," a duet with his daughter
. By the late '60s, even
had trouble resisting the succeeding waves of youth-oriented rock music that topped the charts. But
Frank Sinatra's Greatest Hits!
, a compilation of his '60s singles successes released in August 1968, was a million-seller, and
, an album of songs by contemporary writers like
Joni Mitchell
Jimmy Webb
, released that fall, went gold.
In March 1969,
released "My Way," with a lyric specially crafted for him by
Paul Anka
. It quickly became a signature song for him. The single reached the Top 40, and an album of the same name hit the Top Ten and went gold. In the spring of 1971, at the age of 55,
announced his retirement. But he remained retired only until the fall of 1973, when he returned to action with a new gold-selling album and a TV special both called
Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back
. In this late phase of his career,
cut back on records, movies, and television in favor of live performing, particularly in Las Vegas, but also in concert halls, arenas, and stadiums around the world. He refrained from making any new studio albums for six years, then returned in March 1980 with a three-LP set,
Trilogy: Past, Present, Future
. The most memorable track from the gold-selling set turned out to be "Theme From New York, New York," the title song from the 1977 movie, which
's recording belatedly turned into a standard.
By the early '90s, the CD era had inaugurated a wave of box set reissues, and the 1990 Christmas season found Capitol and Reprise marking
's 75th birthday by competing with the three-disc
The Capitol Years
and the four-disc
The Reprise Collection
. Both went gold, as did Reprise's one-disc highlights version,
Sinatra Reprise -- The Very Good Years
himself, meanwhile, while continuing to tour, had not made a new recording since his 1984 LP
L.A. Is My Lady
. In 1993, he re-signed to Capitol Records and recorded
, on which he re-recorded his old favorites, joined by other popular singers ranging from
Tony Bennett
(none of whom actually performed in the studio with him). It became his biggest-selling album, with sales over 3,000,000 copies, and was followed in 1994 by
Duets II
, which won the 1995 Grammy Award for Traditional Pop Performance.
finally retired from performing in his 80th year in 1995, and he died of a heart attack less than three years later. Anyone will be astonished at the sheer extent of
's success as a recording artist over 50 years, due to the changes in popular taste during that period. His popularity as a singer and his productivity has resulted in an overwhelming discography. Its major portions break down into the Columbia years (1943-1952), the Capitol years (1953-1962), and the Reprise years (1960-1981), but airchecks, film and television soundtracks, and other miscellaneous recordings swell it massively. As a movie star and as a celebrity of mixed reputation,
is so much of a 20th century icon that it is easy to overlook his real musical talents, which are the actual source of his renown. As an artist, he worked to interpret America's greatest songs and to preserve them for later generations. On his recordings, his success is apparent.

We are still a few weeks away from the Academy Awards, but the nominations were announced last week. Out of the nine best picture nominees, six are based on books. So while maybe watching the nominated movies is on your February list, it also proves an opportunity to add some new book titles as well. The six books include:
The Descendants by Kaui Hart Hemmings
"With beautiful and blunt prose, Hemmings explores the emotional terrain of grief, promising something far more fulfilling than paradise at its end."--San Francisco Chronicle
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a miracle, a daybreak, a man on the moon. It's so impeccably imagined, so courageously executed, so everlastingly moving and fine." --Baltimore Sun

Shepherdstown - Shepherdstown School of Dance students will perform their sixthth annual "Nutcracker Ballet" at the Frank Arts Center at Shepherd University this weekend.
This year's classical "Nutcracker" performance features students the school, but also a large number of community members. Parents of students play "party parents" in the first act.
Creative Director Mercedes Prohaska said there are three families on stage at the same time. "Sadie Arnold plays Clara, and her parents Andy and Carmella are party parents. She and her sisters are students."

Shepherdstown School of Dance students will perform their sixth annual "Nutcracker Ballet" at the Frank Arts Center at Shepherd University this weekend.
Sadie is 12. Gwen, 11, plays a candy cane, and Justine, 8, is a party kid.
Another family is Steve Cifala and his girls Ariel, 13, and JoJo, 11. Prohaska said he is one of their original dads involved every year.
"Ariel has been dancing with us a long time, and has been elevated this year to the Snow Queen on Sunday," Prohaska said. "Most of the students have been with us since we started the school 10 years ago."
The Yates family includes Joe Yates as the Dresselmeyer, the mystical, eccentric uncle type to Clara. His son Richard, 14, has been dancing with Shepherdstown School of Dance a long time and plays the Nutcracker Prince.
Prohaska said, "Richard's brother Alex has been showing an interest in dancing, especially with 'The Nutcracker.' He plays Clara's brother Fritz this year."
Two professional dancers will grace the stage, including Kitty Clarke, contemporary modern dancer and founder of Goose Route Arts Collaborative, as Mouse King. Playing the part of the Cavalier will be Jordan Nelson of Chicago, who has trained with the Ballet Chicago, interned with royal ballet, and is a dancer for the Suzanne Ferrell Dance Company.
Prohaska said she and co-founder Emily Romine usually hire a professional dancer to play the Cavalier.
"We have worked with a network of area professional dance companies in Richmond or Washington, D.C. We worked with Richmond Dance Company thanks to our partnership with Shepherd University. The Richmond company performed at Shepherd. And now, we have partnered with Suzanne Ferrell Dance Company. I called them to see if anyone was available. They gave us a list of names, and Jordan Nelson worked out."
She said while all the students are very capable, having a professional like Nelson or Clarke brings the show to a higher level of performance, and helps the students.
"Someone like Jordan gives the students a professional to work with who can give them pointers, especially for the male students. It's like having a mentor. Kitty Clarke is a professional who has her own dance company. She's a modern dancer. But all dance, including modern, has a ballet foundation. She teaches in our summer program. They give students an opportunity they would not have had otherwise. And it brings the community together."
A portion of ticket sales will benefit Shepherdstown Elementary School and Shepherdstown Middle School PTA groups. The performance coincides with Christmas in Shepherdstown festivities.
Shepherdstown School of Dance opened in 2003 and continues to be dedicated to providing a classical dance program for their students.
Prohaska said, "Emily Romine and I saw a need for a dance school in Shepherdstown, especially a classical ballet school. We have 95 students on the roles."
Classes include ballet, pointe, tap, jazz/modern, Rommett Floor-Barre and pre-ballet. Students three and up are welcome to participate in classes.
That roster includes some adult students, she said, who don't perform as much as younger students. They teach adult ballet, tap, and floor bar for all ages. She said floor bar is everything one does in ballet class but on the floor.
"Floor bar is good for a dancer who was injured or for proper alignment," she aid. "It's like doing yoga but less stressful than yoga."

FOSTORIA - By the time the real lightning showed up, it had been overshadowed by the West.
Paul Cosiano threw two long touchdown passes to Findlay teammate Joseph Davidson, capped an 8-yard drive with a 3-yard plunge and two West defenders returned interceptions for scores in a lightning-shortened 42-0 Fostoria Athletic Boosters All-Star win over the East.
"We knew we had some good football players, and (we had) to do some easy things to get them the football, not real complicated," West coach Mark Ritzler of Findlay said. "You don't have time with three practices to do things real complicated. Things just kind of snowballed."
Article Photos
His Findlay players certainly helped.
Cosiano found Davidson wide open deep across the middle on the game's third play for a 77-yard TD strike.
The quarterback plowed in from 3 yards out just 50 seconds later - the East fumbled away the ball on its first snap - and the second of Findlay teammate Vance Settlemire's conversion runs put the West up 16-0 at the 9:23 mark.
Arlington's Kyle Bormuth returned an interception 35 yards later in the period to push the lead to 22-0.
"We had great players, like both teams had, and you can't give a team that has those kind of players any kind of momentum," East coach Todd Fox of Calvert said. "We just didn't recover and had too many mistakes.
"But it was a fun time, a great group of guys; we just couldn't get going," he said.
But the West could.
Cosiano found Davidson with an easy-to-catch 39-yard jumpball TD early in the second quarter, McComb's Jerry Brown scooted 16 yards for a score at the 5:10 mark and Van Buren's Matt Devore closed out the half by returning an interception 64 yards to the end zone as time expired.
Cosiano went 7 for 9 for 154 yards, with Davidson hauling in three passes for 123 yards.
"Just playing the last three years, four years with Joseph, obviously we have a good chemistry with each other. We read each other well, we know where each other's going to be and we just react accordingly," said Cosiano, who was also named the West's MVP.
"It's definitely special," he said of the award. "This is my last time putting on the pads, so it means lot to me and I'm happy to represent Findlay and the West All-Star team."
The lightning made sure his last time in uniform was brief.
The flashes came shortly before the second half was scheduled to begin and
continued even after officials and coaches decided to call the game.
Brown (5-67) and Settlmire (5-56) combined for 10 carries and 123 yards.
The East managed just 120 yards of offense, which included minus-3 yards rushing.
Hopewell-Loudon's Alec Gregg went 6 for 13 passing for 98 yards for the East, but he threw two of the team's four interceptions.
Norwalk's Damius Peacock was named the East's MVP after catching three passes for 67 yards.

Women's Golf Signs Brenna Obergfell
Brenna Obergfell, a graduate of Noblesville High School in Noblesville, Ind., has signed grant-in-aid papers to attend Ball State and compete on the women's golf team, according to head coach Katherine Mowat.
Obergfell earned four letters in golf at Noblesville, and was co-captain of her golf team as a junior and senior under the guidance of head coach Mike Abbott. She averaged 76.0 as a senior, placed fifth in the sectional and was third in the regional. Obergfell also managed top-10 placings at the Center Grove Invitational and the East Noble Invitational, where she finished ninth in each event. As a junior, she managed a 78.0 scoring average and tallied two top-five finishes.
In summer golf, Obergfell won four of six tournaments in 2010 and finished runner-up in two additional events. Obergfell finished runner-up in the age group season point standings in the 15-16 age group in 2010. She qualified for the Dr. Pepper Masters Tour in the summer of 2011, and competed in six Plantation Golf Tournaments around the Midwest. Obergfell managed a low round of 78 at the Indiana Women's Golf Association State Amateur Championship and placed eighth at the Indiana Golf Foundation Girls Age Group Championships.
Obergfell managed a 4.2 grade-point average on the school's 4.0 scale and ranked 22nd out of 565 students at Noblesville H.S. She is the daughter of Michael and Michelle Obergfell, and has twin siblings - Clay and Camille.

Natural Law Theory: The Modern Tradition
Brian Bix
University of Minnesota Law School
OXFORD HANDBOOK OF JURISPRUDENCE AND PHILOSOPHY OF LAW, Jules L. Coleman & Scott Shapiro, eds., Oxford University Press, 2002
The works of contemporary Natural Law theorists, including Lon Fuller, Michael Moore, Ronald Dworkin, and John Finnis, are discussed critically and their views are placed within the context of a tradition thousands of years old. In the summary of the broader context, the paper considers the connections and relationships between natural law theory and nature, God, natural rights, law, and legal positivism. The article also includes an extensive (but not exhaustive) bibliography.

A recent trip to the Naturally Native Nursery in Bowling Green taught me a great deal about the plants that are native to northwest Ohio.
Jan Hunter guided the members of the Sandusky Valley Herb Society through a video presentation that showed more than 30 indigenous species, and then took us on a tour of the area where most of these flowers, trees and shrubs are growing in profusion, seemingly unaffected by our long, hot summer.
Native plants are defined as those that existed in this area prior to European settlement and they continue to thrive in
this locale without the assistance of fertilizers.
These plants provide food and habitat for wildlife, so important today in the decline in numbers of many animal species. As native habitats are destroyed by building development and the excessive use of herbicides and pesticide, invasive species of plants move into an area and hasten the loss of native species. Preserving, restoring and establishing landscape that encourages biodiversity is the mission of Naturally Native.
The use of native plants in our own yards and gardens has benefits for ourselves as well as for the plants and animals among us. A few hundred years ago, northwest Ohio was a place of woodlands, meadows and wetlands, but gradually urban development crept in, and we are the poorer for it.
A native landscape may take years to build and mature, but small steps can help to build for the future. Hedges, small pools, birdbaths, bird feeders and certainly planting native species will help to develop places in harmony with nature.
Who would not welcome a space that needs no fertilizing or watering beyond the precious rainfall we are given? Native plants are low maintenance, beautiful and healthful, and every time we purchase one of these plants, we are helping to encourage a more healthful and natural environment.
Sunflowers are native, and their seeds are useful for human as well as wildlife enjoyment. I would work with mine if the birds would just leave a few for me.
Joe Pye Weed gives height and color in the flower garden and has a long history of medicinal applications from Indian times on.
We are familiar with purple coneflower, asters, cardinal flower, lobelia, blue flag iris, spiderwort, liatris, all native flowers, and there are many more. Goldenrod has acquired a bad reputation as allergy-inducing, but this is not true.
Many plants regarded as weeds, such as prairie dock, sneezeweed, milkweed, vervain, bergamot, dropseed and Indian grass deserve a place in the flower bed where they encourage the birds, bees and butterflies that grace our gardens.
I am going to make a real effort next spring to avoid exotic imports that require special care and expensive supplements. Most of the native species are self-seeding, so they are a good investment. For inspiration, walk through a few of our
local parks and nature preserves, and take a hint from the plants that are growing there.
As Aldo Leopold wrote in his "The Sand Country Almanac," "When we see the land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."

Oops, something didn't work.
Great show and thanks for the mention guys!
Looks Awesome! I was thinking of using Table Storage and Blobs in a WP7 app, but wasn't sure how to keep the keys private. Looks like the proxy service is the way to go, althought I may end up initially hosting it on an existing VPS (with commercial SSL cert) instead of in Azure to keep costs low.
Sounds like the Shared Access Signature means that using blob storage would go directly to Azure, but using Tables would be piped through the proxy. Any plans to add support for Queues?
@gbrayut: Yes, support for queues is on the roadmap (mentioned here: http://bit.ly/dUv0Ja). Out of curiosity, what is your primary use case for queues?
There is no primary use case yet, but it seems like queues are the best method for scheduling work. Example: upload picture to blob storage and then add an entry to a queue to process it. From the Phone they would usually just be adding entries to a queue, not consuming them, but there may be situations where a queue would work well for rate-limiting clients or matching players in a multiplayer online game.
@gbrayut: Yep, sounds very reasonable. How would you prioritize queues against OOTB support for Notification Services (running in WAz) and SQL Azure/DataMarket?
@WadeWegner: Probably Notification Services first, then queues, then SQL Azure. The last two could always be accessed via custom proxy, and I see queues used much more from the client then SQL Azure. SQL Azure would probably be accessed via WCF service with Entity Framework, not directly from client.
Good as always.
So, was Steve making some sort of a point by playing only A major? Azure-Majure?

Democrat Kathleen C. Hochul and Republican Chris Collins are tied in their contest for the 27th Congressional District with just over four weeks until Election Day, according to the latest Siena Research Institute poll conducted for The Buffalo News and WGRZ-TV.
No nuances like "within the margin of error" or "statistically even" cloud the survey of 633 likely voters conducted Oct. 1-4. The newest measure of voter opinion pegs incumbent Hochul and challenger Collins dead even – 47 percent to 47 percent with 6 percent undecided or not voting.
Even in other key areas of the poll, the pair remain locked. When asked if Hochul should be re-elected or if someone new should go to Washington, 44 percent said re-elected and 44 percent said someone new.
Their favorability ratings also are virtually identical. Forty-seven percent of voters view Hochul favorably and 39 percent unfavorably, while 46 percent see Collins as favorable and 40 percent unfavorable.
It all leads Steven A. Greenberg, spokesman for the Siena College poll, to pronounce the race as tight as tight can be. He added that the contest now boils down to winning over the paltry 6 percent that remains undecided.
"When you think about the millions of dollars being spent by the campaigns and outside groups, it's all on media aimed at a very narrow group of voters within the 27th Congressional District," Greenberg said.
That means voters like Karen Jones, 48, an interior designer from Pembroke, may prove crucial on Nov. 6. She has been out of the country for a while, and remains undecided. For the moment, she is listening to the opinions of her adult daughter, a Hochul supporter.
Undecided voters proved a small percentage of the last survey reported by The News and Channel 2 on Aug. 19, and it remains that way in the latest effort. The August poll also showed the pair virtually deadlocked, with Collins at 47 percent and Hochul at 45 percent, well within the 4 percent margin of error (the same as the new poll).
But Greenberg pointed out that voters are now much more engaged in the race, and that the new survey should be accepted with a high degree of confidence because of its consistency with the August poll.
"Everything moved together," he said of the numbers, noting that while voters preferred Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney 53 to 41 percent in August, the numbers have moved to 51 to 42 percent now – mirroring fluctuations in the new poll.
"That's what gives me a really good feeling about the survey," he said.
He also pointed out that few of those who have made up their minds are likely to change, since 89 percent are either certain or fairly certain they will stick with their current choice. That causes the small group of undecided voters and those who could change their minds to loom even larger in the campaign, Greenberg said.
Though Hochul is running even with Collins in the most Republican district in all of New York, Greenberg also said the former Erie County executive should be heartened by voters' continued rejection of Obama – with whom he links Hochul every chance he gets. In addition, voters prefer GOP control of the House of Representatives by a 53 percent to 41 percent tally.
Collins also posts significant leads in the issues voters traditionally deem most important – fixing the economy, jobs, taxes and tackling the deficit.
"He has an edge on the issues, no question about that," Greenberg said, while noting that Hochul is preferred 47 percent to 42 percent on who would better represent the community in Washington.
But he also said Hochul is holding her own despite the 8 percentage point registration advantage enjoyed by the GOP, which he attributes to the congresswoman's "likability" factor.
"Voters like her," he said, adding that while most voters cast their votes strictly for Democrats or Republicans, he sees enough evidence of ticket splitting to give her hope.
"Twice as many people are willing to vote Romney-Hochul than are willing to vote Obama-Collins," he said.
That's exactly the kind of voter represented by Michael Farr, 49, a senior mechanical designer from Lockport. A member of the Independence Party, Farr said he is voting for Romney for president and Hochul for Congress.
He likes her efforts to save the Niagara Falls Air Force Base and doesn't like Collins' "dirty tactics." He is the kind of voter who seems to be sustaining Hochul.
"Hochul voted against some of Obama's stuff, and that tells me she stands on her own two feet," he said.
Another voter contacted in the survey, Darrell Field, 60, of Lakeview, is a Republican and Vietnam veteran who is retired from the U.S. Postal Service. He said he usually does not vote along party lines, but will this year.
"Barack Obama and Kathy Hochul are in the same boat – spend, spend, spend," he said. "Chris Collins ran a business and can bring us closer to a balanced budget."
Collins said Saturday the survey results are exactly what he expected. He said he always knew his race against Hochul would be a tough one, crediting his opponent's abilities as a "strong retail politician."
But he took notice of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's Manhattan fundraiser last week for her and other New York Democrats, and turned around his compliment to again link her with Washington Democrats.
"[Voters] will understand her retail side is less than honest in her support of Obama and Nancy Pelosi," he said.
The former county executive acknowledged that Hochul remains competitive despite his efforts to link her to Obama, but also said poll results showing him leading in the top economic issues will prove even more important during the remainder of the campaign.
"Over the next four weeks, more of that will crystallize with the voters," he said.
Hochul, meanwhile, said her visits to diners and farms throughout the eight-county district convince her that the overwhelmingly Republican district remains "open-minded" or she would not have been elected last year.
"My record demonstrates an incredible independence," she said, noting support she has always received from Republicans and independents.
The poll showed that despite the district's reflection of the national controversy over the future of Medicare, Collins and Hochul remain tied over who would be trusted more to address the topic – 43 percent to 43 percent. They are also virtually tied (Collins 45 percent; Hochul 44 percent), over who would better handle health care issues.
Hochul also leads on that issue with seniors, 49 percent to 42 percent.
"Senior citizens know that despite what they hear on TV in the Chris Collins campaign, I've been fighting for Medicare since Day One," she said, claiming GOP plans would eventually affect even those enrolled in the current system.
But she acknowledged the lead Collins posts on crucial economic issues.
"That's an area in which we need to get our message out more forcefully."
With both candidates preparing for two debates next week on Channel 17 and Channel 4, Greenberg said the televised events will sharpen voter focus even more. They will not garner the huge audiences that focused recently on Obama and Romney, he said, but will generate substantial coverage in newspapers, television and radio.
"But they probably won't make a big difference unless one of the candidates makes a major gaffe," he said.
Democratic sources say the poll accurately reflects their internal surveys. Collins sources, meanwhile, took no issue with the Siena poll but said their internal surveys show the Republican leading by 6 percent.

Gorgeous Cat
by Joe from Louisville | August 22, 2012
If you buy one of these cars, I guarantee your free time will be divided by either driving it or dreaming about driving it. Yes, it is that amazing! I prefer the convertible despite believing the coupe if far more striking. The relatively high repair cost has made these cars a steal in the used car market, but will come as a shock to the un-indoctrinated Jaguar owner. Though, this has to be the most reliable Jag in history. This Jag has an amazing ride while still performing like an exotic. Just put the top down, enjoy the factory Alpine audiophile sound system, and cruise in absolute luxury. If you feel a little more daring though, just press the accelerator and it instantly becomes an authenic sports car. 0 to 60 is reportedly just over the 5 second mark and I submit that is no exaggeration. Driving this car will make you feel like a celebrity. Rarely is there a time when I stop and someone does not ask me questions about the car. Usually begining with "what is it?" I have owned many sports cars and roadsters. This is by far my favorite. If you can find one of these, are willing to risk the repair cost, and truly enjoy the thrill of driving at this level, buy it!

Safety Fast
by Breidy from San Diego | February 18, 2009
I actually bought the car pictures above a few weeks ago. It is as suggested a fabulous example of European design coupled with American production. As Jaguar was owned by Ford at the time this 2000 model was built it shares a lot of superficial bits and pieces with other Ford/Lincoln cars of its time. I have owned numerous Jags and other British cars over the years and feel that this car is a prime example of a very high performance Grad Touring car that makes no compromise in luxury, handling, appearance and is well suited to the needs of Americans that need to drive in a much wider variety of weather and road conditions found in England. The unfortunate lack of marketing ability Ford showered on the Jaguar brand is much to the advantage of the buyer of used European luxury high performance cars. Many other European cars with much the same characteristics sell at a higher price and seem to suffer a lot more from the abuse that comes from owners that try to scrimp on the cost of repairs. It's been my experience that because of the initial cost of the XKR owners seem to maintain them with grater care. The XJR especially deserves great attention due to the nearly 400 HP it delivers with a little encouragement from your right foot. If you haven't driven one you owe it to yourself to do so before the economy and price of gasoline make owning a marvelous automobile like the XKR a thing of the past!!!

Enjoyable Test Drive
by Ruby Two from Wilmington, OH | May 25, 2007
It just called me from the its spot on the lot...a beautiful, white 2000 XKR with tan interior. I just had to ogle for a few minutes before attempting a ride in it. For such a seemingly long body, it still had that "I wear my sportscar" feeling as I buckled into it. My initial reaction to the steering was plenty of surprise...very loose pulling out of the parking slot. Once on the road, an amazing transformation to its fighter jet, small steering input, higher speed handling. The acceleration was something I had never experienced before, in what seemd like instants I was in traffic ticket territory. The XKR did 0-70 before I could imagine it. The brakes required a bit more pressure than I would have expected, but once I gauged it out, I could plan braking more effectively. This was a top up or down beauty. Little details came out as I looked at it after my ride, There's no car I've seen more pleasing to the eye: exhaust loacation and tips, trunk keyhole, fuel door release, supercharger induction vents, the curvy Jaguar lines. A lovely car, an absolutely lovely motoring experience..
