When the Alabama Democratic Party disqualified Harry Lyon as its candidate for Alabama's chief justice recently, it opened itself to charges that the party was repeating its "handpicking" political debacle of 1986. And it didn't take long for Republican chief justice candidate Roy Moore to take that opening.
Moore quickly issued a statement to the news media: "The last time the Democrats tried this in Alabama, it failed, and this will, too."
But since the "last time Democrats tried this" was more than a quarter of a century ago, when some young voters were in diapers and others were yet to be born, it remains to be seen whether Republicans can stir up the same sort of resentment that arose in the governor's election of 1986 -- an election that some believe helped to speed the Republican ascendance in statewide politics in Alabama.
Lyon was removed as the Democratic standard bearer after his bizarre behavior and attacks on fellow Democrats, Republican justices, the president and gays led the party to believe he had not only violated party rules, but possibly even the canons of ethics that cover judges and judicial candidates.
Democrats then reopened the application process for candidates, and Jefferson County Circuit Judge Robert Vance was the only candidate to qualify to seek to represent the party in the November election for chief justice.
That differs in several significant ways from what happened in the race for governor that pitted then Democratic Attorney General Charlie Graddick against Lt. Gov. Bill Baxley for the Democratic nomination for governor.
For the sake of those not around Alabama in 1986, perhaps a history lesson is in order.
Going into the Democratic primary that year, Baxley was locked in a tight race with Graddick. (Interestingly, Graddick was defeated earlier this year by Moore in the GOP primary for chief justice.) Neither candidate managed to get a majority of the votes in the first Democratic primary in 1986, requiring a runoff between the two.
As the primary runoff election date approached and it became obvious that it likely would go down to the wire, Graddick invited Republican voters to "cross over" -- to also vote in the Democratic primary. Voting in one party's primary election and the other party's primary runoff election was prohibited by a Democratic Party rule, although that rule generally was not enforced.
Graddick won the runoff by a slim margin -- so slim that the state Democratic Party felt he would not have won without the Republican crossover votes. Some Democrats took the issue to court, and the court agreed that the crossover votes violated party rules and tossed out the results of the election.
The court gave the state Democratic Party leaders a choice -- either hold the primary again, or name Baxley as the nominee. Figuring that Baxley would have won the runoff without the GOP crossover, the party committee chose to give the nomination to Baxley.
That was the wrong choice, at least politically speaking. The backlash was enormous.
Many Graddick supporters -- Democrats and Republicans -- were irate. Charges of "handpicking" candidates abounded, and the resulting furor swept political unknown Guy Hunt into the governor's chair -- the first GOP governor in more than a century. Until the Baxley-Graddick fiasco, Hunt was seen as a placeholder for the party with no chance of winning. He went on to win re-election in four years, only to later be removed from office after being convicted of using tax-exempt inaugural funds for his personal benefit.
Back to the present: It remains to be seen whether GOP candidate Moore can stir up some of the same handpicking resentment against Democrat Vance.
Alabama Democratic Party Chairman Mark Kennedy points out that the party committee did not select its candidate. Instead, it reopened the application process, with Vance the only one to qualify.
"What the committee did was not common but also not unusual," Kennedy said of the disqualification of Lyon. "He violated party rules. He acted erratic and unstable, and he publicly libeled the members of the Supreme Court."
Bill Armistead, chairman of the state Republican Party, put a different spin on the controversy in a statement: "If Alabama Democrats are known for anything, it's making desperate, backroom deals to get their candidate of choice on the ballot."
Kennedy is correct that this time, unlike in 1986, the state Democratic Party reopened the qualifying process instead of letting a handful of party bigwigs decide the nominee. But whether the public will recognize that distinction remains to be seen.
But there is another major difference between 1986 and 2012, and it is Harry Lyon. While Graddick had many supporters in 1986 -- supporters who formed the nucleus of those who rebelled against the naming of Baxley as the party's candidate -- there is no such core of support for Lyon, a perennial also-ran candidate who has never drawn significant support.
In the end, that may be the biggest difference between the disqualification of Graddick in 1986 and Lyon in 2012: Graddick was a legitimate contender, and Lyon was just an embarrassment.

As if it weren't exciting enough to earn her company's Chairman's Award, Janice Clerkin felt her heart jump when the company president announced her prize: a two-year lease of a new BMW.
Clerkin, a director of data analysis at Merkle, a Lanham, Md. — based database marketing agency, was selected for the honor from more than 750 employees. In the previous year, she had played a key role in starting the company's Marketing Knowledge Centers, an important new service for customers.
Merkle started the BMW incentive five years ago. Each year, senior management selects someone who has made a major contribution to the company's success and growth. That person is honored, along with dozens of other employees, at a ceremony at corporate headquarters. Then the winner drives off in style.

It's here! It's here! It's finally here! Or rather, it's here. #mafiamafia is the game's official channel. Come there if you feel like chatting about the game. Good luck to all involved. Make sure to read the rules and have fun! All PMs with Alias information has been sent out. If you didn't get one, I'm sorry. :( Player List Agape asim askaninjask assassinfred Athenodoros Aura Guardian Bass billymills Blue_Tornado Crux Da Letter El Daenym Ditto Eo Ut Mortus Fatecrashers Fishin Flounder GoldenKnight imperfectluck jumpluff kingofkongs Lightwolf markyguila Mekkah Nachos Objection Paperblade Pidge Pyromaniac reyscarface Rodan smashlloyd20 Staraptor Call Steven Snype the interwebs theangryscientist Thorns UncleSam Walrein Wild Eep Yeti zorbees
Third. Talk to me on IRC, those of you who have played with me before know that I'm a reliable source of information. Also good luck to the neutral teams. May you have all the items.
1k post: I thank Mekkah and Gmax for making my first game enjoyable, and both for being awesome. dak too. jumpluff too <3. etc. I thank ipl for making me less paranoid about everything, bar with him. I thank everyone in this game for letting me win, give me the Diamond.
How does your partner, who was also playing in a forum mafia for the first time, not earn a shout out?
Wow, it's been 8 hours since this started and no one is begging for claims yet? We're not gonna win at that rate. As the only person playing this game who has ever led a big village to victory, I think it's best if I'm at least heavily involved in the village unison show. I've given the game some thought and here are a few points I want to make: - I don't think we can get a turbo village street justice vigilante hit in tonight. There is little way of checking claims since we're not allowed to share role PMs yet, and in general I don't believe handing out aliases (which is necessary for this) is a good idea this early. (hey new players, listen to this advice) Day 1 is a whole new beast and at that point I plan to be more proactive with gathering claims, and at that point we need to find a lynch target anyway. - In the future, we will almost definitely need the vigilante hits, so I do think it's important to get organized. However, doing so without letting in moles is difficult, especially since there is no 2nd mafia to sell out the other ones. Doing it properly is almost as important as doing it quickly. I plan to talk to a few people here and there just to get a gauge but for the most part there is not much of a point. If you have anything to say that's so important that it can't wait, by all means contact me. Other than "I'm village" I don't have a whole lot to back me up yet, so if you don't trust me I understand. However, please at the very least be consistent and don't tell anyone else anything, that would be just stupid. If you have some kind of limited amount of ammo role, idle it. If you have something that can potentially backfire a lot (eg a kill), idle it unless the chances are real low. Practically anything else, just rand it. I can help you decide on a target if you'll let me. tl;dr new players don't do anything rash. old players don't do anything rash.
Hello, everyone. Since nobody else has posted except Mekkah, and it's not an N0, I'm rather anxious, so... biting the bullet. I'm the town inspector, looking for your claims. I understand it is unusual for the inspector to throw themselves out directly into exposure. However, I want to minimise the likelihood of a mafia claiming inspector in the absence of the claim and all hell breaking loose as a result. Furthermore, I'm the best person the town has to verify claims. Plus, from an uninformed perspective, inspector is one of the most convincing confidantes. And obvious argument: if I were mafia, I'd be shooting myself in the foot by claiming to be inspector right now. This is why I feel it's worth a bit of a risk in being proactive, in order to get the village organised quickly and decisively. From your perspective? I understand if you do not instantly trust me, and I don't want your role PMs tonight anyway (you'd get godkilled). However, Mekkah is quite right; we don't have the luxury of an N0 and it's important that we get organised if we want to make the best use of our time and resources. Either way, please contact me, saves me coming after you (though don't think I'm just going to leave you alone if you don't come to me). Even if you don't immediately trust me, which is a very understandable position to take since I can't even post my role PM yet, if you have anything to say, I'm all ears. You can find me on IRC as some variant of lynne or Jirachi (either nick is fine to PM). Keep in mind I may be asleep or doing something else, but I will be sure to read all PMs sent to me, so I want them anyway. Alternatively you can PM my Smogon inbox. PS: Congrats on four digits, LW!
While I think jumpluff is most likely not lying, I recommend holding off and at least giving the real inspector some time to challenge the claim. In dude it turned out not even like an entire cycle was enough to make the real hooker (Midou) come out to discredit LonelyNess (who was just going for a claim rush before he'd inevitably be outed) and it would've ended the game before it started if he had the ability to read. Now jumpluff does have the ability to read (needs glasses but still) so let's not count on that again.
Yes, I'm fine with people being cautious; those I have contacted, I have not pressed very hard yet, since if I didn't know 100% I was telling the truth, I would be taking the exact same stance as Mekkah's. However, don't think that this will fly as an excuse for long. And I will add that if you do trust me, it's exponentially more helpful the earlier you claim to me. You don't even need to claim anything specific, though I would like to know if you are a vanilla villager (no role other than mob kill). It has come to my attention someone else other than me is going around trying to get claims without having posted in the thread. Do not trust this person, it's shady as fuck to sneak around trying to extract information from people and without some kind of public claim to hold them accountable you have no reason to trust them. Furthermore, dividing village interests between a bunch of unconnected people isn't very helpful to the cause, so while holding off is fair enough, I do hope if you chose someone to claim to you'd pick someone who at least had the balls to post they're inspector instead of someone untrustworthy like this. PS: To the person trying to get claims... if you aren't mafia than this was an extremely rash move, since it singles you out as suspicious, and if you aren't mafia, that's a false positive we really don't need. Please don't get in the way. I'm not going to auto-lynch you when I find out who you are, but it'd be appreciated if you came to me now. ETA: I have to note that Midou was exceptionally slow.
If you are on meds I recommend you get in touch with me, especially if you feel it's that time of the month again!

A Sedgwick County Jury has found Ronald Bevan guilty of driving drunk, racing a buddy, and causing a crash on Kellogg that killed a 5 year-old Clearwater girl last February.
The verdict was read Friday afternoon after about seven hours of deliberation. Bevan was convicted of aggravated battery and involuntary manslaughter, while driving under the influence.
"I'm stunned," said Bevan's aunt, Laura Lee Norman. She and other relatives questioned the jury decision and said the evidence didn't support the verdict.
"I know my nephew and I know he has a big heart," Norman said. "It's not fair. He needs an appeal."
Bevan is the second defendant to face trial in the death of 5 year-old Amber Randolph, who was killed in a near head-on collision on Kellogg last February. In December, a mistrial was declared for Matthew Noel after jurors were unable to decide if he was guilty of reckless driving.Eyewitnesses testified at Bevan's trial that he cut-off Noel as the two friends raced in the westbound lanes of the highway. Prosecutors argued Bevan's actions forced Noel to swerve into the median and hit a natural snow ramp, which launched his truck onto the concrete divider. After sliding about a hundred feet, the truck continued into eastbound traffic and struck Michelle Randolph's car.
Randolph suffered serious injuries, while her daughter, Amber, died in her car seat.
A witness for the state testified Bevan's blood alcohol level was tested about two hours after the crash and measured .15, nearly twice the legal limit. Noel had been drinking that day as well, but his BAC was below the legal limit, prosecutors said.
Defense attorney Gary Owens told jurors his client's decision to drink that day was "not smart", but he said it doesn't mean Bevan was indifferent to the value of human life.
Prosecutor Tyle Roush told jurors if they believe the eyewitness testimony, there's "no question" Bevan caused the wreck.
According to Kansas sentencing guidelines, Bevan faces between 4 and 17 years in prison, when he's sentenced March 6th.

Support for Our Military and Veterans

Hiring Veterans Returning Home and Supporting Our Deployed Employees
Every year, AT&T hires hundreds of military veterans to join our team. The self-discipline, teamwork and skills gained in military service are valuable to AT&T, where many of those same values are part of our everyday culture.
G.I. Jobs magazine has recognized AT&T as one of the Top 50 Most Military-Friendly Employers for seven consecutive years. Electronic Recruiting Exchange recently recognized AT&T's program as the Best Military Talent Program.
Military Talent Attraction Manager
We have developed a program to educate managers across AT&T on the benefits of hiring military veterans. Our Military Talent Attraction Manager translates military terms for his fellow hiring managers and helps veterans seeking jobs in the corporate world translate their military skills to match corporate needs.
Military Skills Translator
We launched a Military Skills Translator that allows veterans to use their current Military Occupation Code/Military Occupation Specialty to find out what civilian jobs at AT&T could be a good fit for them.
We're dedicated to serving the needs of veterans once they've returned from serving our country. Through our Career4Vets Job Search Advisor Program, more than 700 transitioning veterans have received job search guidance from approximately 200 AT&T veterans. Through the Veterans Talent Network, AT&T also provides veterans with a newsletter and texts regarding information on openings and events. We provide localized job notifications to all branches of the military through military transition offices, military alumni programs and career fairs focused on veterans.
Veteran Employee Group
Through our veteran employee group, our more than 4,000 members pursue activities that support veteran and military causes. We develop relationships with the local Employer Support of the Guard and the Reserve (ESGR) to provide community support for our veterans being called into service and for the many employees who have family members currently serving.
Other Recruitment Programs
We aggressively recruit top military talent through a variety of programs, including our Leadership Development Program, and by working with key military groups and associations such the 100,000 Jobs Mission, Hire Heroes USA, the Department of Veterans' Affairs, the Army's Partnership for Youth Success and states' veterans' agencies and commissions. We also provide localized job notifications to all branches of the military through military transition offices, military alumni programs and career fairs focused on veterans.
Additionally, in 2010 AT&T and Alorica launched AloricaCares, a customer care program staffed entirely by veterans with disabilities.
Active Duty Employees
When called to serve our country, the last thing a military employee should have to worry about is whether or not their job will still be there when they return, and if their family will be provided for.
We offer peace of mind for our military employees by providing them differential pay and other benefits for their families while deployed. We also guarantee a job when they return that is at the same level or above the job they left when deployed.
Philanthropy and Collaboration
AT&T is dedicated to giving back to the brave men and women who give so much for us. To date, we've built more than 100 calling centers in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan and have donated more than $9 million worth of prepaid calling cards for military personnel.
AT&T Pioneers
Our employees and retirees are also committed to supporting our troops with hundreds of them participating in the AT&T Pioneers, one of the largest industry-sponsored military support volunteer organizations in the country. AT&T Pioneers collect cell phones, prepare and send thousands of care packages to troops serving overseas, greet soldiers at airports and host various events to recognize the sacrifice of military members and their families.
Cell Phones for Soldiers
Cell Phones for Soldiers was started in April 2004 by Brittany Bergquist and her brother Robbie, then 12 and 13 years old. With the support of AT&T and cell phone donations by its customers, the nonprofit has generated more than $3 million to help connect soldiers to their families back home.
For more information on how to donate your mobile phone to soldiers through the Cell Phones for Soldiers program, check out this video or visit www.att.com/recycle.
Veteran Support
Our "Operation Hand Salute" program helps disabled veteran-owned businesses develop the tools and expertise to win large corporate contracts. The program matches participants with mentors and connects them with industry experts and community leaders, including AT&T executives.
We have relationships with Tip of the Arrow, Military Spouse Employment Partnership, the Department of Veterans' Affairs and states' Veterans' agencies and commissions.

If confusion and overwhelm was an outfit, I would tell you to take it off, because it doesnŌĆÖt look good on you. If itŌĆÖs old, worn out and faded, then let it go.
What you wear should enhance what you have instead of playing up your weakness. In fashion, the goal is to wear what looks good on you. IŌĆÖm saying clarity and balance looks good, so wear it well and wear it often. But how?
In "What Not to Do: The Most Important Decision YouŌĆÖll Make," John Mariotti says,┬Ā ŌĆ£Refocus your time, talent and money on the important things, the big things, that will make a difference.ŌĆØ Sometimes thatŌĆÖs easier said than done, but here are two things worth your timeŌĆöprofiling your profitable passions and your ideal customers.
The goal is to understand your passion and your customers.
Profile your profitable passions
What do you want to do and can it pay for your lifestyle?
Ivana Taylor shows you how to find your passion and turn it into a profitable business. But it takes effort. You not only need to discover what you are interested in, but you must also find the market who would buy the product or service and the language that would get their attention, using tools like Google, eBay and Amazon.
And after you find the right niche, then itŌĆÖs time to put more effort into clearly identifying your clients.
Profile your ideal customers
Who do you serve, what do you they want, where are they now and how do you reach them?
The last three questions become much easier to answer when you figure out the first one.
Ivana says:
ŌĆ£When you narrow your messageŌĆ"to a group who values what you are selling, then the rest of your marketing system becomes obvious and easy to implement.ŌĆØ
I spent a lot of time confused and it didnŌĆÖt look good (or feel good) on me either. To profile my target client I used 3 of the 8 creative ways to profile ideal customers that Ivana mentionsŌĆöcomplaints, Web traffic and character descriptions.
Understanding what my clients complain about and the types of people visiting my site based on my Alexa.com profile made it easier to create a character sketch of my target audience. And when you understand what your target audience looks like, then you can figure out where they shop, what they read, where they go to have fun, etc. All that knowledge creates opportunities to meet, market and serve them.
Now thatŌĆÖs a good use of time. Get clear and then get busy.

Mid-Missourians 'Occupy CoMo'
As the Occupy Wall Street movement enters its third week of protests in New York, more and more Missouri residents are getting involved in a sister protest.
By Christian Bryant (Columbia, Mo.)
Occupy CoMo has taken its non-violent protest to the front of Columbia City Hall. Dissatisfaction with the U.S. government piqued interest for some protesters, but most of them have joined for an array of reasons. Rick Braaten said this is the perfect opportunity for people to make more personal issues public.
"If you don't like cars then post a sign that says, 'Hey, I don't like cars,' you know? 'Why don't you ride bikes?' or 'Stop killing tuna fish' or, you know, just whatever you deem is worth fighting for, basically. Stand up, be heard."
The Occupy CoMo movement has lasted11 days now. The group plans to have general assembly meetings every Tuesday and Saturday of the protest to discuss items of interest including the needs of the group, other locations for protesting and communication techniques.

Before adding any more information, I think you should take a closer look at what you have already written and correct the errors. I have marked in red each word or section which contains a mistake (spelling, punctuation, capitalisation, grammar, verb agreement etc).
Was the title of article really "advantages of cosmetic surgery among youngest"? That is terrible English.

These programs deal with teaching driver education and traffic safety in K-12 schools. Each school district decides which programs they will offer and what curriculum will be used. Each program submits a request for an approved program to the WDE. Approved programs meet the requirements of Chapter 39. A listing of approved programs is available through the WYDOT website.
Statistics are just numbers until that one statistic is someone you know, you work with, or even a family member; then it becomes personal. Statistically, you have hundreds of opportunities every day to save a life. You have one opportunity to make a difference - stop every time. Stop means Stop.
School buses travel 77,562 miles a day in Wyoming, transporting 37,472 students to and from school. These buses make hundreds of stops loading and unloading students every day. There are flashing red lights and a stop arm that comes out every time the bus stops. Yet, surprisingly, over 297 vehicles illegally passed these buses on one day last year; that's 51,975 opportunities annually for a student to be injured or killed. Stop means Stop!
There are 1774 miles of railroad tracks in Wyoming with 1171 grade crossings of all types (only 170 have lights and gates). There are hundreds of trains that travel through the state daily. On average Wyoming has 5-10 collisions a year due to illegal crossing of the tracks when a train is approaching; leading to an average of two fatalities every year. The lights are flashing red, the train is approaching with the horn blowing and you are late for an appointment and just can't wait. You decide to go across in front of the train. Did you make it, or are you the statistic?
There are 435,500 licensed drivers in the state of Wyoming. Some are going to school; some are going to work; while others head to the store to pick up groceries. Many more are taking their kids to and from daycare every day. What if all of them were on the road at the same time? That means 435,500 opportunities to stop or not.
There are thousands of traffic lights and stop signs throughout Wyoming. You roll up to the light, late for work for the third time this week. The light turns from green to yellow. You ask yourself, "am I feeling lucky? Late again, I might get fired", so you gun it and hope for the best. The light turns red and an unmarked police car is right behind you. You just got lucky. You survive running the red light by not getting in an accident, receive your $100 ticket for running the red light and are still late for work again. Was it worth it? Still feeling lucky? The same scenario would apply to a stop sign.
Stop -- a four letter word that means what? STOP. Whether it's a school bus stop arm, a traffic light that's red, railroad crossing lights flashing red, or a simple stop sign, please STOP. Save a life, pay attention, and above all, STOP when you see these signs. The life you save could be your own.
Feeling Lucky? Do you play the odds? Statistically, are you the one? Are you the person to make a difference by stopping every time?
Stop means Stop. Saving lives one stop at a time.

Official JB 4.1.2 for SGH-I747M?
Does anyone have any time frames on when the Official JB 4.1.2 update will be out for the SGH-I747M.
The battery life improvement alone makes me very excited for this. I am on Telus on Ontario Canada.
I am VERY new to to having a Galaxy S3, just switched over from a Blackberry so still learning
Thanks - 01-03-2013, 07:28 AM #2

Re: Official JB 4.1.2 for SGH-I747M?
I don't really understand Kies? Is that like Desktop software to physically download that update and install it rather than do it OTA?
I don't want to root my phone, not at this point, so that is out of the question. Thanks BASSMIG, good to see someone else here on Telus with the same phone. And thanks for that page, that is very helpful! I will keep my eyes peeled. Im your opinion when do you think we will see an official OTA release from Telus for 4.1.2 - 01-03-2013, 08:03 PM #5
Re: Official JB 4.1.2 for SGH-I747M?
If 4.1.1 is any indication I doubt we'll see anything before at least mid February (here's to hoping I'm wrong and they push it out like next week)...They released it(4.1.1) before Halloween on the international but it took almost 2 months to push to the rest of the devices. Hopefully because it is not as big of a release it will be quicker to push to all devices. Another good source for Canadian Phone info such as that is Mobile Syrup. Can't say I've spent a lot of time there myself but they did have some inside info around release dates as well.
I have never used kies myself I did my JB update OTA. Kies is the desktop software that allows you to update your phone and do other things through your desktop connection. - 01-04-2013, 03:48 AM Thread Author #6
Re: Official JB 4.1.2 for SGH-I747M?
Thanks for the info. I figured Kies was just that. I am coming from a Blackberry and had the BB Desktop Software, which I also never used. I will just sit tight and wait for the OTA official release. I am just excited because of what I have read about better battery life with the upgrade to 4.1.2.
Re: Official JB 4.1.2 for SGH-I747M?
You can check for OTA updates right from the phone. You can also create a shortcut to open it directly from home screen.
I am waiting for the official update too....But by the time it gets released, 4.2.1 would be already out in most parts of the world.http://sanuja.com | SGH-I747M - 01-13-2013, 08:18 AM Thread Author #9

College Town - 1/15/2014 As a college town with Middle Tennessee State University, this city is growing fast. But the cost of living is comfortable and doesn't bear the rising prices as most major college towns. I find it very resourceful as far as nightlife, social life, and relaxing at the same time. Just minutes from Nashville, this town gives a lot more than takes from you.[read more...]
African American Family - 9/19/2013 Would we fit in? We are a family of 4 from Mississippi, and we have thought about moving to the Nashville area (Murfreesboro). I am a Resident Assistant in a retirement assisted living home; my husband is a Bob truck driver; we have a teenager who will be in 8th grade; we have a high school graduate who is looking to attend a music production school/college. We are a church-going family. We are looking for a nice 3 bedroom/2 bathroom home or apartment in a nice neighborhood for under $800 a month. Is public transportation available? [read more...]

Trapped Here for Now - 1/26/2011 Been living here about two years with my new wife, and we've been living like hermits for the most part. First her relatives got weird on us, and weren't too friendly after the initial visit, leaving us with no contacts whatsoever. Real estate is very reasonable, the only plus I can see to living here. Trying to establish any semblance of a social life is near impossible without attending church three times per week, and social events seem to center around eating; buffets, barbecues, and picnics, so there are a lot of obese people, which gets depressing for a fitness buff like me. It's very family-oriented, so you'd better have a kid or three if you want to fit in at all. The locals are often rude and snobby, which surprised me because I thought the Northeast had a monopoly on being jerks, but apparently not. I don't seem to get much flak for being a "Yankee", but I've always dressed like a slob anyway, being in construction, so I fit right in appearance-wise I guess. Trying to move to a more comfortable city, somewhere with maybe some running trails and more outdoor stuff to do, with friendlier people, but I can't seem to sell our little townhouse, so we are stuck here in Purgatory for the foreseeable future, until the housing market picks up, which could be forever, with the current cast of idiots in office.[read more...]

If you are not from the south DONT LIVE HERE!!!!!! - 6/7/2010 My family decided to leave Las Vegas in order to find a place to live that was nore family friendly and a place to spend the rest of our lives. Well let me tell you that it's been nearly 3 years of pure hell living in this redneck ass backwards place of a city and state. I have a background in the Casino industry as a table games dealer as well as a supervisor. I have been in the customer service industry for over 25 years and I am now on my 16th month being unemployed in this state cause "there aint no casinos out here". Thats all i've heard since i've lived here and if you aint from the south then you are the enemy to these people!! I am not kidding. I was taught that when you look for employment you dress for success, well not here in good Ol Tennessee. The only suit that they own out here is the one they find at Goodwill to be buried in. I could not believe every job interview I would go on, I was dressed in a nice suit, had a fresh haicut,shave,etc. Well I was the only one!! In Tennessee you go out to job interviews in dirty jeans and a dirty shirt with a mouth full of chewing tobacco. What a joke! If you are from the south then Tennessee will be just fine but if you are a proffesional looking to take all your knowledge and desire to a new level then STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!!! We are moving back to Las Vegas and cant wait to end this 3 year nightmare.[read more...]
cultural diversity - 4/20/2010 murfreesboro is a nice town but does not have any cultural diversity, plain speaking it is a very white city, unlike the metro nashville area (25miles away). you are shut out unless you fit the profile and looked down upon if you are hispanic or asian, very little middle class and a lot of people who have moved to a smaller pond to be a bigger fish. if you show up at the RIGHT PLACES you are accepted, otherwise you just one of those people.[read more...]

Overview of Murfreesboro - 12/8/2006 I've lived in Murfreesboro most of my life--about 38 years. I've seen it grow quite a bit. On the plus side, it has lots of good neighborhoods, restaurants, and businesses due to incredible growth in the past decade. Crime doesn't seem that bad. I feel safe pretty much anywhere I go. And the school system, while being extremely overcrowded, does a good job with their limited resources. The climate is moderate--not too hot in the summer, and in the winter, we get some really hard freezes, but for the most part, the winters are not so bad. We get maybe one of two average-size snows each year. On the negative side, traffic is REALLY BAD. You don't want to venture out from 7:00 A.M - 9:00 A.M. or from 5:00 - 7:00 P.M. The roads in this city are simply not equipped to handle the huge volume of cars that flow (very slowly) through it. They're working on the roads to a small degree--but nowhere near enough. This has been a huge problem since about 1995. Lots and lots of businesses. And home to a large university (Middle Tennessee State University). That's Murfreesboro's main identity.[read more...]

Economically stable - 10/3/2006 Murfreesboro is a thriving community. It has been experiencing continuous growth in population and quality of life for almost two decades.. The City is well represented in it's diversity and prides itself on it's moto "Creating a Better Quality of Life". ALL Of Tennnessee is beautiful, however Murfreesboro has so much to offer in the job market and the thriving livelyhood of activities and education. Safety is not taken lightly in this city and we are proud of our Law Enforcement Officers and the Police Department that trains them to be diverse, professional and inter-active in the community. We are geographically located at the exact center of the state and are remembered for many victoies and defeats during the civil conflict that took thousands of lives during the "Battle of Murfreesboro" or better known as the "Battle at Stones river where 18,000 men lost their lifes during one of the worst three days of fighting in the civil war.

At Manchester Wood we live sustainability. From corn growing in our backyard behind our mill, to our leftover sawdust used for many local farmers animal bedding. We care about our environment, and we feel what pertains most to our customers is our lumber practices, a key element, as that's our introduction to your home.
Every few years the standards lower for lumber grading, which is at a near constant drop in quality due to carbon dioxide emissions climbing in our atmosphere. The evolution of trees has been curved greatly by man, the practices as a World society we have.
With this honest review of a key natural resource, Manchester Wood is here to prove that we're one of the leaders in an eco-conscious society with the product we provide. Not to mention the far exceeding quality compared to similar products made in China and Vietnam, where practices with natural resources are startling, and are leading to a quickly diminishing environment, which in turn, hurts our trees here in America, and the World.
In a recent press release, "Manchester Wood Commits to Producing Environmentally Sustainable Furniture," our President Ed Eriksen addresses the need for small businesses to take on an eco-conscious approach:
"We understand that the move toward environmentally sustainable manufacturing needs to be initiated and promoted by small businesses. Our goal is to create top quality furniture from beautiful American hardwoods for homes and offices with minimal impact on the environment. In fact, we believe that by sourcing our wood from sustainable forests, we are greatly enhancing the crafts that we offer to our customers."
If you purchase wood furniture from our major overseas competitors, you're buying into their practices, and much of it goes unchecked. Manchester Wood partners with the most responsible and caring lumber companies in the World, with a careful eye on eco-systems, proper tree growth, and most importantly, providing a healthy piece of material for crafting.
We hope this information solidifies your decision in supporting businesses with healthy practices, and a quality in product to back it up. For more information on our commitment to environmentally sustainable furniture, click here.

Patrik Elias, Travis Zajac get stuck in blizzard
NEWARK – The weather outside was frightful and Patrik Elias and Travis Zajac really had no place to go once Elias' car got stuck in the snow on Route 280 west on Sunday night.
So, that's where the two Devils forwards spent the night, until a tap on the window at 7 a.m. Monday woke them up and directed them to safety.
Elias and Zajac are neighbors so, with a significant snowstorm laying siege to New Jersey, they carpooled to the Devils' game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Prudential Center. Travel was not easy with the blizzard dropping more than 2 feet of snow on the area.
The announced attendance was 5,329, but the actual crowd was probably less than half of that because of the snow.
Following a 4-1 defeat – the Devils' fifth loss in a row – Elias and Zajac left Newark at approximately 10:45 p.m.
Wanting nothing more than to get home after another bad day at the office, Elias and Zajac found themselves stopped on Route 280, which was closed at Exit 11.
"This wouldn't have happened in Winnipeg," said Zajac, a Winnipeg native. "The entire state [province] doesn't shut down because of a little snow. We kind of got stuck a little bit. [Route] 280 got shut down and we were stuck in the middle of it when it happened. So, it was something where we couldn't go anywhere and just slept in the car."
Elias kicked himself for not taking Bloomfield Ave. as many of his teammates had. Some of them gave him a hard time for not knowing a better way home after playing 13 seasons in New Jersey.
"I'm a veteran," joked goaltender Martin Brodeur, who said he had no problems after getting off Route 280 an exit before the stoppage. "I know my way around."
But some other Devils did have trouble. Rod Pelley got stuck briefly on Route 280 and didn't get home until 2:30 a.m. Jason Arnott didn't get home until 4 a.m.

Copyright, patents, trademarks… Sometimes it seems that entrepreneurship is all about protecting your ideas so that no one else can copy them, expressed in the ubiquitous "all rights reserved". But what is the alternative? No rights at all?
Especially in the realm of social entrepreneurship, many innovators face the tension of wanting to share everything freely and yet keep control over what they have created. How can this tension be mediated? Is there some middle ground? Apparently there is: Creative Commons (CC) have developed a legal and technical infrastructure to maximize digital creativity, sharing and innovation with "some rights reserved".
At this interactive Hub event, we'll take a closer look at the story of CC. Philippe Perreaux, core team member of CC Switzerland and founder of the soon-to-be-launched music licensing platform rightclearing.com, will give us an overview about the thinking behind CC and share his personal experience regarding some of the tensions outlined above. We will then explore the question further in the context of social entrepreneurship and the collaborative practices of the Hub in particular. Michel Bachmann, co-founder of Hub Zürich and co-director of Hub Global, will share his personal insights on the latest developments in the broader Hub Network and pose the question of what we can learn from CC for the development of a truly collaborative innovation environment.
Doors open at 19:00, the event starts at 19:30 (sharp). Space is limited, so please register to confirm your attendance at this exciting event (CHF 10 for Hub Members, CHF 15 for guests; payable at the entrance)

New Pearson fund to target developing world's schools
Pearson has launched a $15 million (£9.5 million) fund to invest in cheap private education in some of the world's poorest areas.
The Pearson Affordable Learning Fund will invest in for-profit groups, which provide low-cost schooling in Africa and Asia. It'll also invest in organisations that provide services ranging from teacher training to accreditation.
A Pearson spokesman said the group would consider investing more cash in the fund, depending on the speed and success of its first wave of investments.
This morning Pearson announced the fund's first investment in Omega Schools, a chain of private schools based in Ghana. The group said that its investment will enable Omega to expand from serving around 6,000 students, to "tens of thousands" throughout the country.
The value of the deal has not been disclosed.
Sir Michael Barber (
), who was appointed as Pearson's chief education adviser in May 2011, said: "Low-cost private education is an important, complementary element of education in developing countries and should be seen as an active partner with governments looking to ensure all children have access to a high quality education.
"We are convinced that affordable schools, operated on a for-profit basis, can make a big difference."

When highly-skilled emergency medical care is a must, patients can count on Southwest General. Rated among the top five percent in the nation by HealthGrades for emergency service excellence.
University Hospitals (UH) Seidman Cancer Center at Southwest General was recently re-accredited, receiving "Three-Year Accreditation with Commendation" by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons. This national recognition is a testament of the comprehensive, quality cancer care provided to our patients.
It's a "Grade A" for Southwest General when it comes to hospital safety. The Leapfrog Group, along with a panel of national hospital safety experts, announced earlier this week its top scoring hospitals in its new initiative, Hospital Safety Score SM report.
Building for the future, Southwest General's campus will take on a cutting-edge appearance by 2015 as the next phase of the hospital's strategic facility expansion plan was unanimously approved by the Southwest General Health System and Health Center boards of trustees.
A highly skilled surgical team at Southwest General has performed a gallbladder removal procedure using only one tiny incision in the patient's belly button, making the procedure virtually scarless.

I feel for Mao. I asked the same question. My understanding is, and someone can correct me on this, that Mao doesn't have a consistent reliable triple triple combo. She has a problem with lutz and she has been called on a flip for wrong edge or the other way around with lutz. This is why she keeps doing triple axel because that is the only way for her to stay competitive with the other top contenders. Which is so taxing on her since triple axel is not a reliable even for men. How many great men have lost gold medals because the axel just wasn't for them. I can think of one. Four time world champion Kurt Browning. Axel left him in 92 and 94 Olympics. Mao went to 4cc to blow away the field. She has a lot of work to do in the long. But she needed a good short too for confidence and silence the dissenters.
Haven't read the thread, too long, but will do so later.
Just wanted to say that I just now watched Mao Asada's SP here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imvIz8Wrt_o
And she impressed me, which I wasn't expecting, after my total emptiness inside after Nationals. By the way, I DO CARE about ladies skating (not just the USA, but the World). What I said after Nationals was true, for the moment (lol), I said what I felt at the time. But that has changed, I'm feeling better after a rather disappointing Nationals; I wouldn't consider it one for the ages, like 2008 Nationals was!
Back to Mao, loooooooooove the Desert Rose pink dress (always have ), and the music lifts me up & makes me want to dance/waltz. And she gave it her all despite the very slight cheat on the 3A (almost 90 degrees, but no cigar, around 120 degrees), but it was the popped 3F that really did her in. Still, it was the performance that impressed me the most! She was so into her other elements, the dance, the character of the peformance ~ everything just flowed from one element to another ~ lovely spirals & spins & speed as well. Odd, Sasha Cohen was the total opposite in her FS at Nationals; her & Mao switched this time. Oops, one more thing I noticed, Mao's 2A was TERRIFIC! I would have given her all +++GOE on it. Her 2A reminds me of Tonya Harding's 3A, both almost overrotated, that's how good they are, no cheat there whatsoever!
Last edited by Nadine; 01-27-2010 at 09:04 PM. Reason: lol, misspelled overrotated, from overrated to overrotated! (:^D
P.S. I wish I could see Mao skate both her SP & LP at the Olympics; same for Evgeni. But, unfortunately, I'm not rich (lol), and can't afford to spend $10,000+ on eight tickets. Otherwise I would be there cheering her on!!!! But nevertheless I will be doing so from the comfort of my house & television set.
She has problems with the lutz. I don't think she has a big problem with the flip (she did a good one at Nationals). Her 3F-3Lo tends to get UR but I heard she was getting better with 3F-3T before she ditched it. Actually Mao's combo and 3A have about the same risk, so I think she chose axel because it's her trademark and she just likes the jump the most. She also likes loop and doesn't like toe or salcow that much.
But her axel is not working!!!! At this points, it has to be almost a sure thing to work for her! She blew both of her grand prix assignments (in France and Russia) because of those darn axels that she could not land. She salvaged it at her nationals but now in her first international assignment after nationals, and her last international before the Olympics, she is under rotating it, which is like doing a double axel, double toe combo while other ladies will be doing triple triple combo. And when they fail, they get marked for triple double at least, not double double. Mao, drop the axel!!:banging:
Which is why I was asking ... 'cause I saw it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tN3kFdYskQ and not in competition.
If she can't do a 3-3 just do a 3-2. I mean, you're Mao Asada, you're going to get strong GOEs on completed elements and insanely high PCs just from rotating and staying on your feet. So you won't beat Yuna, who cares? At least you won't have totally screwed yourself out of a medal altogether by chasing impossible jumps.
She has a backup plan in which she replaces 3A with 3lo in the SP(she loves her loops). But she will keep the 3As in the long. I do kinda think Mao is being stubborn with her layout but I also can't help but feel this is partly TAT's fault. I mean Mao can't come up with the layout all on her own.
Last edited by miki88; 01-27-2010 at 09:30 PM.
Exactly, but she is going to try to two triple axels in long. If it works great, if she falls, not great, if she gets down graded and she would end up being marked for like four double axels (as I would assume she would be putting in couple of real double axels in the long). I don't know. I don't understand this strategy. If I were Mao, I wouldn't want to go into the most stressful competition of my life, with the most stressful element, that I must make TWICE, to stand a chance. That's putting too much load on those narrow shoulders. The girls gotta have fun at some point
I don't think Mao can drop the triple Axel right now. She doesn't do the Lutz anymore and even the Salchow is missing. That leaves her with 3T, 3Lo, 3F and 3A. If she drops 3A, she would only have 3T, 3Lo and 3F in her arsenal. That would limit her a lot in FS. She also does not have a reliable 3/3 anymore. They are bound to give her trouble and most likely get called for UR on them. Besides, she hasn't done them for a while in competition so it would be really hard for her to be able to put one in for the Olympics. Right now the 3A is her main point getter and she cannot afford to drop 3A if she wants to be competitive. Unfortunately for her she is having consistency issues with 3A. I believe that her only choice is to get 3A as reliable as possible for Vancouver. If she can do that she'll have a good chance... even for the gold.
If Mao would insist 3 triple axels, I think the focus of Mao's training on 3 axel should be on trying to fully rotate it, which may end up with falling more often than landing for now. As long as she mainly tries to land on her axels in any way (during practices and competitions) but not to fall, I am not sure whether her axel problem (e.g., pre-rotation & under-rotation) will eventually get improved even in the future.
