The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario (in French: Parti progressiste-conservateur de l'Ontario), is a right-of-centre political party in Ontario, Canada. The party was known for many years as "Ontario's natural governing party." It has ruled the province for 80 of the 146 years since Confederation, including an uninterrupted run from 1943 to 1985. It is the Official Opposition in the current Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

The first Conservative Party in Upper Canada was made up of United Empire Loyalists and supporters of the wealthy Family Compact that ruled the colony. Once responsible government was granted in response to the 1837 Rebellions, the Tories emerged as moderate reformers who opposed the radical policies of the Reformers and then the Clear Grits.
The modern Conservative Party originated in the Liberal-Conservative coalition founded by Sir John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier in 1854. It is a variant of this coalition that formed the first government in Ontario with John Sandfield Macdonald as Premier. Sandfield Macdonald was actually a Liberal and sat concurrently as a Liberal Party of Canada MP in the Canadian House of Commons but he was an ally of John A. Macdonald. His government was initially a true coalition of Liberals and Conservatives under his leadership but soon the more radical Reformers bolted to the opposition and Sandfield Macdonald was left leading what was essentially a Conservative coalition that included some Liberals under the Liberal-Conservative banner. After losing power in 1871, this Conservative coalition began to dissolve. What was originally a party that included Catholics and Protestants became an almost exclusively English and Protestant party, more and more dependent on the Protestant Orange Order for support, and even for its leadership. The party became opposed to funding for separate (Catholic) schools, opposed to language rights for French-Canadians, and distrustful of immigrants. Paradoxically, an element of the party gained a reputation for being pro-labour as a result of links between the Orange Order and the labour movement.
Until becoming the Progressive Conservatives in 1942, the party was officially known as the Liberal-Conservative Association of Ontario, reflecting its Liberal-Conservative origins, but became widely known as the Conservative Party.
Pre-war dynasty[edit]
After 33 years in Opposition, the Tories returned to power under James P. Whitney, who led a progressive administration in its development of the province. The Whitney government initiated massive public works projects such as the creation of Ontario Hydro. It also enacted reactionary legislation (such as Regulation 17) against the French-Canadian population in Ontario. The Tories were in power for all but five years from 1905 to 1934. After the death of Whitney in 1914, however, they lacked vision and became complacent. The Tories lost power to the United Farmers of Ontario in the 1919 election but were able to regain office in 1923 election due to the UFO's disintegration and divisions in the Ontario Liberal Party. They were defeated by Mitch Hepburn's Liberals in 1934 due to their inability to cope with the Great Depression.
Post-war dynasty[edit]
Late in the 1930s and early in the 1940s, the Conservatives re-organized and developed new policies. Rather than continue to oppose government spending and intervention, a policy which hurt the party politically in the time of the Great Depression, the Conservatives changed their policies to support government action where it would lead to economic growth. It was at this time that the party changed its name to the "Progressive Conservative" party to reflect this change. Seeing that the country could afford the war-time spending levels, meant that governments could afford to spend to support economic growth.[citation needed]
The Conservatives took advantage of Liberal infighting to win a minority government in the 1943 provincial election, reducing the Liberals to third-party status. Drew called another election in 1945, only two years into his mandate, to get a majority government. The Tories played up Cold War tensions to win a landslide majority, though it emerged several years later that the Tory government had set up a secret department of the Ontario Provincial Police to spy on the opposition and the media. The party would dominate Ontario politics for the next four decades.
The anti-Catholic, anti-French, anti-immigrant strain of the Tories was evident under Drew and his successor, Leslie Frost, who embodied all those elements. In 1961, John Robarts became the 17th premier of Ontario. He was one of the most popular premiers in years. Under Robarts' lead, the party epitomized power. He was an advocate of individual freedoms and promoted the rights of the provinces against what he saw as the centralizing initiatives of the federal government, while also promoting national unity against Quebec separatism. He hosted the 1967 "Confederation of Tomorrow" conference in Toronto in an unsuccessful attempt to achieve an agreement for a new Constitution of Canada.
Robarts initially opposed Canadian medicare when it was proposed, but later endorsed it fully. He led the party towards a civil libertarian movement. As a strong believer in the promotion of both official languages, he opened the door to French education in Ontario schools.
Big Blue Machine era[edit]
In 1971, Bill Davis became party leader and the 18th premier. Anti-Catholicism became an issue again in the 1971 election, when the Tories under campaigned strenuously against a Liberal proposal to extend funding for Catholic separate schools until Grade 13. Davis reversed himself in 1985, and enacted the funding extension as one of his last acts before leaving office.
Davis governed until 1985 with a team of advisers known as the "Big Blue Machine" because of their reputed political and strategic skills. Their stamp on the party was so strong that many refer to the Tories' long rule over Ontario as the "Big Blue Machine era."
During Davis's time as leader of the PC Party, the party moved to the centre, and on some issues, moved to the left of the Liberals. However, its base of support remained with socially conservative voters in rural central Ontario. This made him one of the most popular politicians in Ontario's history. Other conservatives in the federal PC Party accused him of damaging the conservative image in Canada by moving to the left on some issues.
1980s to 1995: in Opposition[edit]
Davis retired in 1985. At a leadership convention, he was succeeded by Industry and Trade Minister Frank Miller. Miller was considerably more conservative than Davis, and began shifting the party back to the right. Soon after taking office, he called an election in which the Conservatives were reduced to a minority government, and actually finished behind the Liberals in the popular vote for the first time in 42 years.
Soon afterward, the Ontario New Democratic Party of Bob Rae reached an agreement with David Peterson's Liberals in which the NDP would support a Liberal minority government. Miller was defeated in a no-confidence motion on June 18. Peterson was asked to form a government later in the day, ending the longest period of one-party rule in Canadian provincial history. Miller was replaced as leader by Larry Grossman at a second leadership convention.
When the Liberal-NDP Accord expired, an election was held in 1987 in which the Tories were reduced to third place in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. They only won 16 seats, their worst showing in over half a century. Grossman was personally defeated in his downtown Toronto riding and resigned immediately. Andy Brandt was the party's interim leader until a leadership election was held in 1990 in which Mike Harris defeated Dianne Cunningham.
The Tories failed to improve their standing in the 1990 election under Harris, in which Peterson was defeated by Rae's NDP.
Mike Harris and the "Common Sense Revolution"[edit]
In the 1995 election, Harris catapulted his party from third place to an election victory, running on a neoliberal platform known as the "Common Sense Revolution" that highlighted a number of "wedge issues" and promised significant tax cuts, cuts to welfare, the introduction of workfare, and privatization of social services. Harris went on to win a second majority in 1999 despite the strikes and protests that plagued his first term in office.
The Harris government was criticized on issues such as health care, the environment, education, and its tax policies, though it remained generally popular until Harris's departure as party leader.
The slide in Conservative support began in early 2000, according to the Ipsos-Reid polling company (Ipsos-Reid website), when the Tories fell behind the Liberals in the public opinion polls for the first time since the 1999 election, with 36% support of those polled, compared to 42% for the Liberals and 17% for the NDP. Later in 2000, Liberal support rose to about half of those polled, while Conservative support remained in the low 30s. This pattern held through to the 2002 leadership campaign, when Conservative support rose to 37%, while the Liberals retained the support of about half of those polled.
Ernie Eves: distancing the party from the "Common Sense Revolution"[edit]
With the resignation of Mike Harris in 2002, the PCs held a leadership election. Ernie Eves, who had been Harris' Minister of Finance, and who had the backing of almost all PC MPPs, won the campaign, defeating his successor as Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty.
Eves was a Red Tory, unlike Harris. He'd tried to blunt some of the edges of the more radical elements of Harris' platform while in Cabinet. His rejection of the "Common Sense Revolution" continued after he became premier. He killed plans to sell off Hydro One when deregulation of energy prices resulted in a dramatic increase in energy rates and threatened a consumer revolt. This led him to re-impose retail price controls on electricity, capping the price at 4.3 cents per kilowatt/hour, and vowing to keep it capped until at least 2006. The result was a quickly escalating public debt that made up for shortfalls in the price of electricity.
During the summer after Eves' election as leader, the Conservatives closed the gap in popular support considerably, placing only two percentage points behind the Liberals in two summer public opinion polls. By the autumn of 2002, however, Eves' 'honeymoon' with the voters was over, and the party fell back in the polls, hovering in the mid-to-high 30s, while the Liberals scored in the mid-to-high 40s.
2003 election defeat[edit]
Despite his attempt to recast the Tory government as a moderate one, Eves was unable to reverse the slide in the polls the Tories had suffered in the last years of Harris' tenure.
Eves asked Flaherty's campaign chairman, Jaime Watt, to co-manage the Conservative election campaign, along with the rest of the "Whiz Kids" team that had previously worked for Harris. Only Tom Long, the central organizer in Harris' campaigns, refused to work for Eves.
The "Whiz Kids" reputation for competence was marred by publicity stunts such as handing down his government's second budget at the headquarters of Magna International instead of in the provincial legislature. Voter backlash against this break with parliamentary tradition forced the delay of a planned spring election in 2003.
In May 2003, Eves released the party's platform, "The Road Ahead". The document promoted an aggressive hard-right agenda, and was closer in spirit to Harris and Flaherty's agenda than to Eves' own. In releasing this document, Eves reversed his earlier positions on banning teacher's strikes, jailing the homeless, private school tax credits and same-sex marriage. The platform also called for mortgage interest deductibility.
The Conservative election campaign was riddled with mistakes and miscues, and Eves appeared very uncomfortable trying to sell a platform he had opposed only a year earlier. In contrast, the Liberals had spent the last four years positioning themselves as the government in waiting, and ran on the simple platform of "Choose Change". Conservative television ads which attacked Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty as "still not up to the job" were received poorly by the voting public, and allowed the Liberal campaign to portray the Tories as needlessly confrontational.
A critical point in the campaign was when members of the Eves team jokingly referred to McGuinty as an "evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet", a comment that made the Conservatives appear desperate to vilify their opponents. In the final days leading up to the vote, Eves was further criticized for saying that McGuinty just says "whatever comes into his pointy little head". On election day, the Conservatives were routed, falling to 24 seats.
John Tory's Tories (2004 to 2009)[edit]
In early 2004, Eves announced his intention to step down as leader. A leadership convention to replace him was called for the fall.
Jim Flaherty was the first to enter the race, campaigning on the same right wing platform as in 2002. He was soon opposed by John Tory, a former executive with Rogers Cable and a Toronto mayoral candidate in 2003, sometimes viewed as a Red Tory due to his association to former Ontario Premier Bill Davis. Member of Provincial Parliament Frank Klees, the third candidate in the race, was a supporter of the Common Sense Revolution and campaigned for a parallel private health care system.
The 2004 leadership election was held on September 18, 2004, electing John Tory as the party's new leader. Tory, a longtime backroom player in the PC Party, was elected to the Ontario legislature in a by-election in March, 2005, in the seat that Eves held.[1]
In polling prior to the 2007 general election, the PCs' support rose after the first Liberal budget in 2004. The party was virtually tied with the Liberals, as Tory has experimented with several different orientations. During his first year as leader, Tory attempted to rise above partisan politics, openly contemptuous of partisan moves and pledging to improve decorum in the legislature. In his second year as leader, Tory adopted a more traditional approach to the issues, sharply opposing the Liberal plans on taxes, spending, deficits and cuts. Heading into the election year, Tory put most of his emphasis on criticizing the government's handling of a standoff with Iroquois aboriginals in Caledonia in order to portray the government as weak. He also emphasized traditional right-wing issues like taxes, crime and government spending.
During the 2006 PC Policy Convention, Tory introduced his plan for shaping up the PCs' platform for the 2007 election campaign. His ideas were stated in what have been called "The White Papers".[2]
The party experienced a drop in popularity, however, after Tory pledged to provide government funding for faith-based schools. The proposal, which proved to be unpopular with voters,[3] contributed largely to the party's loss. The Liberals won a second majority government, and the PCs made and negligible gains in the legislature (one more seat, but a 3 per cent drop in the popular vote). Tory, who had left his Dufferin—Peel—Wellington—Grey seat to run in Don Valley West, would lose to Liberal incumbent Kathleen Wynne.
2008 party convention and the leadership review question[edit]
As a result of the election loss, the party decided to hold a leadership review vote at its 2008 General Party Meeting in London.[4] The Ontario PC Party's constitution requires that the Party hold a leadership review vote at the first party convention after an election defeat.[4]
From the election day until the 2008 General Meeting, party members were divided into two "camps": those who supported John Tory's position as Party Leader and those who opposed his leadership. Several campaigns to oust John Tory as leader of the party, most notably by a party activist group led by former party president Rueben Devlin called Grassroots PC.[5][6] John Tory had the public support of the PC legislative caucus, and most notably, support from former premiers and predecessors Ernie Eves and Bill Davis.[7]
The lead-up to the review vote was marked by high emotions on both sides of the debate and allegations of rule breaking. Such allegations were risen when caucus members sent letters on party letterhead seeking support for Tory. The letters signed by Tory MPPs Bob Runciman and Toby Barrett were a clear violation of the rules of the party, as the party in general is supposed to be neutral on the leadership review question.[8] Tory responded by stating that he and his supporters will reimburse the party for the letters that the caucus members had sent in support of Tory's position as leaders. As a result, the party's president, Blair McCreadie, had stated that the matter is closed.[8] A supporter of Mr. Tory's, PC Youth President Andrew Brander, launched a series of last-minute challenges of delegates on the grounds that they are representing ridings where they neither live nor work.[9]
Tory received 66.9% support, lower than internal tracking which showed him more comfortably in the 70 per cent range - appeared to come as a shock to Tory.[7][10] The percentage of support received by Tory was nearly identical to Joe Clark's 1983 support when he was federal PC leader, which resulted in Clark resigning as leader, and is often seen as the benchmark for Canadian party leaders to get to stay on as leader.[11]
Three hours after the leadership review vote, John Tory announced to the delegates at the Ontario PC's general meeting that he would stay on as leader of the Party.[12] Tory came under heavy criticism from several party members following this delay, with his opponents signalling that they would continue to call for an end to what they called his 'weak' leadership.[13] Other party members, such as former Mike Harris chief of staff Guy Giorno and interim Leader of the Opposition Bob Runciman, supported John Tory, saying that his opponents should accept the results and move on.[12][13]
2009 leadership election[edit]
John Tory announced his pending resignation as leader the day following his defeat in a by-election. On June 27, 2009 party members elected Tim Hudak as the party's new leader. Christine Elliott, Frank Klees, and Randy Hillier were the unsuccessful candidates.

The Lightning went into Raleigh with a retooled lineup and a new netminder, while some things stayed the same for the Lightning (allowing too many shots on goal), other things changed drastically (a shutout by a Tampa Bay netminder).
Roster moves yesterday give way to a new team today as the Lightning take on the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh.
One is a fluke, two is a streak. Tampa Bay tries to win back-to-back games for the first time in almost a month (without Vinny Lecavalier in the lineup but including Tyler Johnson). We're chatting about the game live here on Raw Charge, join us.
Team captain Vincent Lecavalier goes down and the Lightning will bring up another prospect; will the Bolts effort in front of a home crowd be more formidable than the ugliness of Tuesday in South Florida?
The New York Rangers swept the Lightning to conclude their season series, ending their own 4 game losing streak and continuing Tampa Bay's slide which now stands at three games.
As the New Jersey Devils prepare for the Second Season, the Tampa Bay Lightning come into town with their focus ont eh now.
On the flip-side of back-to-back games, the Lightning play a VBoston Bruins team that will want to redeem themselves after the March 13th drubbing they received in Tampa.
With less than two weeks remaining in the NHL season, the Bolts play the first of back-to-back games tonight in Philadelphia. What sideshow antics are in store for tonight's nationally televised game?
Marty Turco makes his first NHL start of the season against rookie Dustin Tokarski. And to think, just a week ago, we thought Marty would be an option in net in Tampa...
Is the moment of horrified realization by the Lightning forthcoming? Or will they continue to play defiantly in the face of recent complications brought forth through the NHL trade deadline?

'Dem Girls' use song to educate residents on absentee voting
Three Arlington women are using music to "get out the vote." If you pass through Courthouse Plaza on Saturdays, you'll likely pick up their beat.
The group is called "Dem Girls." Despite their name, their "Vote Absentee Song" makes no political allegiance. It's simply a catchy tune both parties can appreciate for driving Virginians to the polls early.
"If you work outside the county on Election Day, vote absentee," the song says.
Composer Liza Figueroa Kravinsky adds, "It will hopefully bridge some divide."
Kravinsky created the song in 2008. She was a volunteer educating the public on absentee voting. But many times the information she tried to share fell on deaf ears.
"I said, 'How do I get people to slow down so they'll listen to me?' I said, 'Ah ha! I'll write a song about it.'," Kravinsky explained. "I just had to make sure it had some rhythm and rhyme to match the music I had in my head."
"Absentee votes count just like the others. Vote absentee," the song continues.
Ingrid Morroy is Arlington County's Commissioner of Revenue. She heard Kravinsky singing four years ago outside her office. Now, Morroy and her twin are adding their voices to the cause.
"People are very receptive to the message," Morroy adds.
Any registered voter may vote early in Maryland and D.C. You can vote early in Virginia - in person - through next Saturday.
If you mail in a ballot, it must make it to your local registration office by Tuesday. All those votes will be tallied up on Election Day.
Below are links to the eligibility requirements for early voting in Virginia, Maryland and D.C.:

NEW YORK NURSE: November/December 2011
The best part of my position at NYSNA has been meeting hundreds of you in the past few weeks. Whether you are at one of the New York private hospitals fighting for a good contract, or a nurse in one of New York City's public hospitals fighting for respect and dignity on the job, or a nurse practicing your craft anywhere in this region, your stories have reminded me of why NYSNA matters so much.
If we haven't met by now, you may have heard my name and received some information about me — albeit some of it, inaccurate. So I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you — my name is Julie Pinkham, and I am the interim executive director for NYSNA during this period of transition, as the newly elected Board has now been seated by court order.
My role is not permanent. I have made it a point of my contract with NYSNA to state that I will not seek the permanent position of NYSNA's ED. In part, this is purely to assure the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA) where I was Executive Director on a full time basis, that I am not leaving my position with MNA. It also assures NYSNA the opportunity to conduct its own search for a permanent Executive Director in a deliberative manner, because this position is pivotal to the organization's future. Your duly-elected Board has already moved to begin that search and hiring process.
Like you, I am a registered nurse, having graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1982 where I worked both at University of Massachusetts Medical Center and Brigham and Women's hospitals respectively both in Oncology and Palliative Care and later in Trauma and Burn ICU.
My work as a staff nurse was always in a union-represented facility. Like you, I quickly understood the value of my nurses association as the union and professional association. Being in a nurses' union, I could professionally practice and advocate for my profession and patients within my work setting as well as beyond the walls of my work facility.
To that end, I served in a number of elected leadership roles within the organization and pursued advanced degrees, receiving a Master's of Science in Health Care Administration from Simmons College and a Master's of Science in Labor and Industrial Relations from the University of Rhode Island. I began working as staff with the association in 1989 while continuing to work as a staff nurse until 1996, when I became labor program director, and I now serve as the Executive Director.
In the last 20 years, I've seen many changes in health care and watch the increasing challenges nurses face in assuring their ability to professional practice and advocacy for their patients.
So why hire an MNA Executive Director? Well, in large part, because your organization was at a critical juncture with much internal turmoil.
The requirement that a federal judge intervene in order to seat duly-elected Board members is an unprecedented event in NYSNA's history. The focus of the past leadership in its refusal to relinquish control left the essential work of the organization and ability of staff to function effectively untenable.
The result — more than 22,000 members had expired contracts and multiple employment lawsuits had ensued along with the termination of some key staff. This situation needed to be assessed and changed rapidly. Many members needed the organization to focus and assist in resolving the overwhelming numbers of contracts that were open.
In the 53 days of my tenure (as of this letter) I have been assessing the ability of the organization to move the agenda of its membership — using the direction of its elected leadership — to affect the challenging environment of today's health care industry. The challenges facing nursing are immense and the organization must be unified and focused if it is to prevail in its goals.
As with any change, there will be some who disagree. That is not a bad thing — in fact, it can be quite beneficial, so long as that challenge is directed in a productive manner. To that end I'd like to clarify some misinformation that has been distributed among various members.
Apparently, because of my position with the MNA (albeit part-time), several individuals have launched a fear campaign focused on the misdirected statement that I am taking over or that NYSNA is being "raided." Raids occur when one union seeks to oust another union in order to become the bargaining agent for that unit. That is not happening — period. Any statement to the contrary is intended to create fear and misdirection.
In fact, as many of you know, I have actively been engaged with the various bargaining teams, labor staff, communications staff and governmental affairs staff to help in any way possible to bring about successful conclusions to long-standing and contentious negotiations.
Nancy Kaleda has stepped up at my request to be interim Program Director of E&GW. With her experience and knowledge within NYSNA and her direct work on the health and welfare and pension funds, we have worked in concert to unify the association's efforts.
This has been done with the full support and effort of all NYSNA staff to assist in favorable contract resolutions. Within the context of that work, I have come to know and respect the many elected leaders and staff of NYSNA for their commitment to the members and the organization's success.
I will continue to work to assist the organization in this time of transition. The most recent decisions of the ANA frankly leave me perplexed. If indeed the ANA fears that my temporary role will lead NYSNA to succession from the ANA, it would seem ill-advised that they themselves sever that relationship — creating the very situation they state they do not want to happen.
We will seek to alter the course of ANA's decision. I would encourage you to contact the individuals who have pursued the action as well as the ANA president and Board of ANA to request that their actions be rescinded.
The most unfortunate aspect of their decision has been the timing, which has only disrupted the efforts to conclude contract negotiations. Certainly this can be seen by the employers' disseminating the ANA's letters through hospital email to the nurses. Their effort seeks to undermine NYSNA during difficult contract negotiations.
While I am not surprised by the employers' actions in this regard, I am disturbed it is ANA leadership actions that provided the means. The Board of Directors will review the options available to have the ANA rescind its decision. To the extent that does not immediately happen, we will review the options available to NYSNA members and will disseminate that information.
Our most important work is representing NYSNA members effectively — on the job, with our communities and with state and local decision makers.
My focus will be to assist the Board in creating a work environment in which NYSNA staff and members are able to meet the challenges of today's healthcare environment, while assuring the best possible quality of care and professional standards of practice that we all believe our patients deserve in whatever venue we practice.
My sincere regards,
Julie Pinkham RN
Interim executive director, NYSNA

Assessing the Spurs' bench
During the offseason I've given much attention on the San Antonio Spurs' offseason moves. From grading the moves to having a few suggestions on which players the team should consider adding to the roster as the new season approaches.
In July, my friend and colleague, Michael De Leon, wrote a great article about the Spurs' projected starting lineup. He mentioned the Spurs starting five for next season could be Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter, Richard Jefferson, Tony Parker and George Hill. Assuming he was right, another interesting topic comes to mind -- the Spurs' bench.
Let's break it down.
Antonio McDyess and DeJuan Blair
Last season McDyess was the team's starting center and Blair was the backup power forward, though he did start 21 regular season games at center last year.
This upcoming season, with the addition of Splitter, the Spurs' frontline got deeper. If Splitter becomes the team's starting center, McDyess and Blair will split time as the team's backup center with Blair probably playing some time at power forward as well.
If last year's first round playoffs performance against the Dallas Mavericks was any indication, then McDyess still has a lot of game left in him. With fewer minutes, he could be more effective for the Spurs in the playoffs. Rest is good for his veteran legs but he certainly knows how to play. He will provide an instant boost from the Spurs' bench especially on the defensive end of the floor.
As for Blair, his per minute numbers, especially rebounding, last year were amazing. Giving him more minutes at the four and five spots will help him develop his game more, gain more experience and improve. He will continue to provide the hustle and grit that the team needed.
Matt Bonner
Last season Bonner was a backup at the power forward and center position but when he got hurt, the Spurs' big man rotation became thinner. This upcoming season with McDyess sliding as the team's backup center, expect Bonner and Blair to share more minutes at the power forward position.
Did you know last year Bonner started at center eight times? This upcoming season that isn't going to happen. Less pressure on Bonner could mean more production and hopefully consistent shooting from him.James Anderson and Alonzo Gee
Last season Keith Bogans was the primary backup at the small forward spot, sharing some time with Michael Finley (before he went to the Boston Celtics) and Malik Hairston.
This upcoming season, assuming Gee makes the team, he could be Jefferson's primary backup because he is a natural player at the three spot. Rookie Anderson could play some small forward because he has good size and is a good shooter. Something the Spurs need from a wingman. Though recently the Spurs have been working out Jawad Williams and Darius Miles for the small forward position.
With Gee and Anderson, the Spurs' rotation at the small forward spot became younger and more athletic. Anderson was a proven scorer in college while Gee averaged 7.4 points on 77.8% three-point shooting in 11 games for the Washington Wizards last season. If that trend continues, the Spurs' small forward rotation could be deeper than most people think.
Manu Ginobili and Gary Neal
If there is any player who is great at coming from the bench it's Ginobili. He shared some time as the team's backup shooting guard with Roger Mason Jr. last year. This upcoming season Neal will provide more depth at the two spot which already includes Ginobili and George Hill.Assessment:
Highly doubtful, but if Hill becomes a full time starter, Ginobili will continue to provide the needed offensive spark from the bench. Late in the season last year, Ginobili proved he is still one of the game's best finishers. Neal will get some time as a backup off-guard mainly because of his shooting accuracy. Also do not be surprised to see Anderson split time between shooting guard and small forward which will just bolster the team's offensive attack.Garrett Temple
Temple was a late season addition when Hill went down with an injury and made an immediate impact.
With Temple, the team is deep at the backup point guard. He will get some help from Ginobili who is very capable at handling the basketball and also Neal who had some experience at manning the point during his time in Italy could be brought on to handle the ball should the need arises.
Temple has proven he can run the point. Temple averaged 5 points and 1.1 rebounds in 27 games for the Spurs last year. His size (6'6") will give opposing point guards problems when orchestrating their plays.
The Spurs added athleticism and younger legs to their rotation. With Mason, Bogans, Ian Mahimni and Hairston gone, the Spurs did a tremendous job replacing those guys with Neal, Anderson and Splitter. On paper, the bench looks better than a year ago.
What are your thoughts? Did the Spurs' bench get better? Leave us a comment.

NEW YORK NURSE: September 2008
by Nancy Webber
On Aug. 14, Gov. David Paterson signed the new state law that will prohibit employers from forcing nurses to work beyond their normally scheduled hours.
With this stroke of the pen, New York joins ten other states with similar legislation. An additional three states have regulations that ban mandatory overtime.
"This is a victory for both nurses and patients," said Tina Gerardi, NYSNA chief executive officer. "For years, our members and registered nurses in general have described cases where they were forced to work beyond the point where they believed they could provide safe care. Patients will be safer because of this law."
The law goes into effect on July 1, 2009. For the full text of the new law, visit "Legislative Advocacy" at www.nysna.org.

The new e 912 S boundary microphone: more versatile thanks to DIP switch banks
Tiny switches have a big effect: at the prolight+sound in Frankfurt, audio specialist Sennheiser presents the e 912 S boundary microphone as a configurable version with two DIP switch banks. One switch bank provides four operational functions, while the second bank alters the microphone's frequency response.
The e 912 S boundary microphone is an unobtrusive miking solution for conference tables, altars and lecterns and has been optimized for recording speech at short distances. The prepolarized condenser microphone features a half-cardioid pick-up pattern and a frequency response of 20-20,000Hz. Two DIP switch banks turn the e 912 S into an extremely versatile tool: the user can program the microphone button and the frequency response curve according to his requirements.
"Depending on the location of the microphone — in churches, conference rooms or city halls — its excellent qualities will now come into their own," says Stephan Scherthan, Sennheiser Industry Team Manager for the music industry. "The DIP switch banks are on the bottom side of the microphone, underneath the base plate. We wanted to ensure that the individual configurations cannot be changed by accident and that the user can rely on his settings."
Via the first DIP switch bank, the user can program the microphone key to on/off operation, switch the microphone permanently on or configure the mic key as a push-to-talk or a cough button. According to the selection, briefly pressing the membrane switch on the top of the microphone will activate and deactivate the microphone (on/off). When programmed to push-to-talk (PTT) the speaker holds the microphone key pressed when speaking, while the push-to-mute (PTM) function switches the microphone off when the mic key is pressed, for example if the speaker needs to clear his throat or drink some water. When set to permanently on, the microphone key is not active.
Via the second DIP switch bank, the frequency response of the e 912 S can be adapted to the miking situation. Four options are available:
1. The Low Cut or rumble filter cuts out very low frequencies and vibrations, for example the sound of cups that are moved about a table or document folders that are placed on furniture.
2. Bass and treble boost ensures a clear and balanced sound for standard speaking conditions.
3. The function Bass boost only improves the bass reproduction if the microphone is installed on a very small base, preventing an excessively high and flat sound.
4. If the linear function is activated, the sound of the e 912 S resembles that of its sister model e 912. "Our objective was to enable the use of the new e 912 S together with its sister model, the e 912 — which only makes sense if both microphones have identical sound characteristics," explains Stephan Scherthan. "Therefore, the e 912 S combines the excellent qualities of a speaker microphone with those of the e 912, which was specifically developed for use on opera stages and for orchestras."
Like the e 912, the new e 912 S is available in off-white and black and additionally in a gray, Nextel®-coated version. This material was originally developed for the aerospace industry and is very impressive due to its unusual qualities: It is anti-static, scratch-resistant and extremely hard-wearing, has a warm feel and is absolutely non-reflective, which means that there will be no disturbing light reflections. "The very shape of the boundary microphone is designed to be inconspicuous," says Scherthan. "The Nextel® coating underlines this characteristic."
The e 912 S boundary microphone will be available from April 2007.

[This message edited by ZooMa at 10:06 AM, April 19th (Friday)]
Our current cat we do NOT let outside. He wants to, and has gotten out, generally staying close to the house. Then we go get him and bring him inside.
I've also read that having outdoor cats messes with the local wildlife (birds, rabbits and so on). While I wouldn't mind him getting the house sparrows that have taken residence up in our vents, there are species he shouldn't hunt...and he wouldn't know the difference. So he gets to hunt the mice that try to turn our basement into their winter home instead.
❣Your soulmate is the person who helps grow your soul into a better being rather than tearing it down❣
The other one is about 4yo and she has only gone out when she manages to GET out. She rarely even tries any more - and if she does all I have to do is shake the can of treats and she comes running!
After that, all future cats were strictly indoor. My most favorite cat was run over by a car. She was an indoor kitty. We had a guest who let her outside for some reason. She was killed shortly after whilst I was at work and didn't know our houseguest let Other outside.
We have a beautiful Maine coon cat/mix right now. He oftentimes wants to go outside. Once he ran out the door but stopped pretty quickly on top of a snowbank and cried piteously until someone rescued him. Silly kitty!
"Oh, why do my actions have consequences?" ~ Homer Simpson "She knew my one weakness: That I'm weak!" ~ Homer Simpson
My parents cat however does go out and doesn't wander too far. She likes to go to the bathroom outside and, much like a dog, will go out, do her business and go back in. They live in a pretty quiet neighborhood.
Me- BW, 28 Him- fWh, 34 In R...bought a house and got a puppy...And now baby is here! She arrived August 18, 2013, precious and b
UNTIL...we got Pookie. He wanted out. Would run for the door, scratch at screens, meow (the kind of howl-meow that is creepy).
He became miserable. The VET told us some cats are meant to be outside...
So we let him go. :( I must say it has made a huge difference. He is so much happier, runs out every morning and comes home every night about 11.
It's just who he is I guess....
The Cheater: WXH (serial cheater, 12+ OW. Undiagnosed SA?) Married 18yrs
Note: I edit often for typos/clarity.
I solved the problem by getting two kittens at once. They entertain each other and are not very interested in going out.
We are lucky that we live out in the country a bit, and have a couple of acres for them to roam on, even though they both just stick close to the house. I worry a bit about something happening to them as we do have fox, bears, etc. but I don't think there is any way that we could keep them inside, it's just not in their nature. I can understand wanting them to stay in though. One thing is both of these were originally obtained for utility purposes, and no one else in the family had ever owned cats. My wife wasn't keen on getting them at first, so I told her don't worry, they are just barn cats, they're disposable (the males name is Bridgestone like the tire - our vet hated it). But they are family, even though they can be a pain at times. I think it's more up to the nature of the cat (and the owner to some extent) if it should be an inside or outside cat. Plus, your environment (neighborhood, roads) plays a factor.
Pet cats should be fed quality food, have the opportunity to exercise on cat-specific toys, given lots of love and attention, and kept inside.
Anyway - All three of them wanted to go outside... the girl cat was adamant about and there was no keeping her in. She was tiny, but feisty and she did just fine out there.
The two boys were brothers... both huge... like 15 to 20 lbs each. They go out but hang around the house mostly.
They were all miserable indoors... I guess it was in their DNA.

Komodo dragon
bites 2 in office
JAKARTA, Indonesia Two people have been hospitalized after being attacked by a giant Komodo dragon that wandered into the office of a wildlife park in eastern Indonesia.
An official at Komodo National Park, Heru Rudiharto, said Wednesday the 6½-foot-long Komodo dragon attacked a park ranger after walking into the office on Tuesday.
It then attacked another park employee who came to help him. Both were badly bitten and were evacuated to a hospital on Bali Island.
Rudiharto said the park ranger also was attacked by a Komodo dragon in 2009.
Endangered Komodo dragons can grow longer than 10 feet. Fewer than 4,000 are believed to be alive. They are found in the wild primarily on the eastern Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca.MORE IN Wire NewsJERUSALEM Visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron gave Israel a welcome boost of support...

lf1971 - 29 December, 2009
Sentimental fool I am
OK, so I bought the DVD for my brother for Christmas - an amazing blues guitar player. My brother first learned to play the guitar "upside down" because he's left handed. Neat. I then bought a copy of the DVD for myself. I'm 38yrs old so all 3 of these musicians hold a special place in my heart. Here's the sentimental fool I am - watching and listening to Edge and Jimmy Page (of course Jack White too) play a U2 track brought tears to my eyes. When I was teenager in the 80's I would imagine what it would be like to hear The Edge play with people like Page or Hendrix or Townshend or Clapton or... you get my drift. These are some of the artists who have raised the bar in modern music. Edge you truly are a "sonic architect." U2 have enriched my life beyond measure! Thank-you!!!!!
Yogic - 23 December, 2009
This Trio has Very intense tunnel vision for guitar playing perfection... Inspires me to ramp it up a little more in my world... Thanks for being loud : )
ColleenC - 09 December, 2009
Pre-ordered DVD!
This movie was SO terrific!
I cannot wait for it to arrive and play over and over again; it IS that good. Edge fans (and Page fans too; I really didn't know White that well, but respect him) will be enthralled by this "rock-u-mentary" film!
Not to be missed! :)
ScorpioJW - 09 December, 2009
Must see
I'm not a guitar player but thought this movie was awesome! They are each a genius in their own way and it's great to see them all jam together. It's pretty damn cool.

I saw it in the theater. The entire theater was full. Planning to buy it as soon as it comes out. I loved the look on the Edge's face when Jimmy Page was playing Whole Lotta Love.
Ultraviolet777 - 05 December, 2009
Saw it in theaters...
...and now I can't wait to own this on DVD! Just in time for Christmas! I really loved this movie. Love U2, love Jack White and his various projects, and I love Led Zep. Perfect for me!
chrissie - 04 December, 2009
It might be the dvd
Been so much looking forward to seeing this movie that I will order the dvd, and still hope for the movie to be released on French cinema screens & hopefully a nice Première in Paris !!

Fantastic Movie- Especially for aspiring
I saw the movie over here in the US. I loved every bit of it especially because I play guitar and edge shows you a few of his tricks. Defintley a go see!
u2ireland - 02 December, 2009
I saw it in the theaters and would have rather watched it on dvd just because I would have like to fast forward and only watch The Edge. Just had no interest in the other two guys. I would like to see this type of film on only U2 ;)
Petaah - 02 December, 2009

Comments about Spark 6 Drawer Dresser:
When I ordered this product, the website said some assembly. When I received the product and opened the box I instantly became overwhelmed by the million pieces. I think saying some assembly is way too vague when compared to the many pieces. The product description should read full assembly with advance knowledge of putting furniture together. And, I've ordered quite a few pieces of furniture online and clearly understand some assembly and have never had an issue until now. Not sure what to do now. :(

Staff writer
---- — PEABODY — Voters of Peabody, we need to have a talk. About us.
That's the message the School Committee is sending to city officials, including the Board of Registrars, regarding the longtime Election Day practice of setting up ballot boxes and voting booths in schools across the city. It comes now in the wake of a legal opinion from City Solicitor Michael Smerczynski that board members believe may give them the authority to ban voting in the schools.
Even so, at Tuesday's meeting School Committee member Ed Charest offered a caution after the board agreed to seek a meeting with the registrars and city councilors. "It's a discussion. ... It's not a threat," he said.
Colleague Dave McGeney added that there is no intention to "ram it down the city's throat. ... We know what we want, and how we get there we need to discuss."
Member Brandi Carpenter raised the issue initially at a meeting in May, citing the difficulties that voting in the schools presents for the administration. Safety is a major consideration, she said, noting the increased traffic on Election Day and the fact that unknown adults are entering the buildings.
Carpenter cited events such as the Columbine and Sandy Hook school shootings as increasing the need for security. And she noted that cities such as Worcester have been successful in setting up voting booths in supermarkets, where people are likely to be anyway and where the owners are only too happy to draw crowds.
City Clerk Tim Spanos has raised objections, however, suggesting that the change will inconvenience voters — the very taxpayers who pay for the schools — and the changeover would be difficult and needlessly expensive.
Asked whether the school board has the authority to ban voting in schools, Smerczynski said the answer is, "generally speaking, yes."
The state, he explained, gives the superintendent charge of school buildings "unless the town otherwise directs." Peabody's charter directs that the School Committee "shall have the control of all school buildings and of the grounds," he pointed out.
Only one member of the School Committee, Beverley Griffin Dunne, voted against the original proposal to consider the removal of the voting booths.
It was Mayor Ted Bettencourt, who is chairman of the School Committee, who suggested the joint meeting with the registrars and the council. When that happens is yet to be worked out, and a swift resolution is unlikely because of a lighter summer schedule. Also, Spanos is temporarily unavailable following knee surgery.
Bettencourt characterized the proposed meeting as an opportunity "to bring all the decision-makers together."
