Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by pat c, Oct 29, 2011.
Has that been announced yet?
You are kidding right?
First they have to find someone to take it....
My bet... Lake Placid which seems willing to take it anytime (Of course when it was last in Lake Placid I went to TEB... it was cheaper, easier to get to and actually took LESS travel time!)
I wondered. Thanks.
Well that sucks.
Well, the USFSA seems to announce locations of future competitions earlier than Skate Canada. And since Skate Canada is announcing next year's location tomorrow, patc's question seems quite reasonable.
Please Lake Placid. PLEASE!! (Or hartford or boston or even reading)
Please NOT Lake Placid! Somewhere with an airport please!
Lake Placid gets a JGP in August 2012, I doubt they would get both that and SA.
Really, anything within driving distance of NYC is good, even if it's Bum****, PA.
I don't follow the Candian Federation.
Last year Skate Amerca was announed in the late spring
Just because Canada gets organized, doesn't mean the US is.
It's a reasonable question! It's just that the USFS really belives "it doesn't matter what we do fans will put up with it!" (Looking at the Skate America attendance brings that thought into question) They fail to realize that "planning ahead" would allow fans to plan to. Just look we now know where 2012 Skate Canada is. Worlds' 2013 is selling a pay plan for tickets. USFS has not announced 2013 Nationals.... For a lot of US citizens it's just as easy to go to 2013 Worlds and we have limited funds for skating. If the Canadians are more organized they get the funds..
Wonder why USFS doesn't get this?
Reading would be AWESOME. Unless SA is during my fall break, I'd be at school and only 45 minutes away!! But I'd also take Boston or Hartford if I'm home, lol.
2013 U. S. Nationals will be in Omaha, Nebraska. I think the announcement was made in April of this year, so nearly 2 years in advance. Although it's potentially helpful to know even farther ahead of time, I do not miss the days when the announcement came 3 years in advance, tickets went on sale almost immediately, and 100% payment was required at time of order.
US Nationals is always announced almost 2 years in advance. I've read much kvetching over my years online about how USFS sells tickets so far in advance.
2013 US Nationals was announced a long time ago. Omaha.
I thought they "withdrew" that announcement and it wasn't offical yet? Hopefully I am wrong. That's not a bad lead in. In that case I owe USFS an apology. I can live with anything over 18 months or so. Actually I could live with a year or even less. The risk to USFS is that while they are waiting others "spend thier cash" They are in competition with other skating events and just "life" for money and time which I don't think they get. Especially with something like Skate America. I think they need more time to market and "lock" those attendees in.
I think everyone KNEW months before it was in Omaha, but they spent several months "dancing" around LOL! (When you asked at last years event you were told "we have no idea" but folks in Omaha were saying "it's us!" )
i'll go back to reading but someone has to be proactive and make sure i dont get stuck in a hooker hotel this time. i'm pretty sure jamsey and i witnessed a murder/kidnapping.
The USFS press release for the local announcement of 2013 Nationals is dated 4/28/11:
The 2011 Skate America location announcement was pretty late -- March 3, 2011: http://www.usfsa.org/Story.asp?id=45812&type=news
Come on, Everett!
Ooh really? That is great news! I'm so there!
Yeah, or Portland.
Portland was good...
Greensboro or DC... I'm soooo there!!
I'd be happy with any city on the east coast where SW flies (just not Reading). I doubt they'd put it in a large city like DC, given the poor turnout this year, but George Mason U's arena in Fairfax, VA might be a good spot. Or they could use Northeastern U's arena in Boston.
But please let it be somewhere near civilization - not Lake Placid!
Baltimore would be great! There are lots of things to do within walking distance of the Inner Harbor!
My parents went to a gospel concert at George Mason (Patriot Center) and they complained that they couldn't find any restaurants nearby to eat dinner.
Then I guess they wouldn't like Reading. Not only was there nothing around the arena, there was nothing at or around the hotel, either. Hotel stopped serving at something like 9 or 10 (and that included room service). When we checked in, there was a sign at the front desk that said the restaurant was open until midnight, but it turned out that was only for those with credentials. I was so pissed off, I wrote a complaint on the corporate Sheraton website, which got us a free stay.
I hope to never return to Reading.
It would be awesome if it were in Baltimore, but the arena is not suitable.
I vote for Phoenix.
I vote for Columbus or Cincinnati.
NOT on the West Coast, please. SA and the Championships both in CA this year is just too hard for those in the East. It makes no sense to not share the events around the country to me.
I didn't go to SA because I'm going to San Jose.
Lake Placid is so nice to attend events despite the travel challenges. However, putting it in a place with an airport does make sense. Portland is a great place for skating but we went there last year. Give it a rest.
I suggest Hartford, Colorado Springs or Denver, Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Dallas, Philly, Boston, St Louis or anywhere not West since it's been West for two years! Last time SA was East it was in Lake Placid.
Of course, Indianapolis would do very nicely. Great facilities, hotels and restaurants all within walking distance. 20 Minute drive for me
That sucks. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I went to SA there a few years back and had a great time, and ate like a pig all over the place, in fact just thinking about the huge Amish meal we had one day makes me feel full! Lol so .... I guess it just goes to show, sometimes things are just a little off.
I think it's great that Lalique is always at bercy right in downtown Paris, although I have no idea how they afford to keep it up. It's always 60% empty when I go. Maybe polo or something can fund SA to always be at mad sq garden. Lol but personally I wouldn't mind if it was permanently at lp. Sure, one has to drive a few hours into the mts, but everyone always acts like getting there is an odyssey. It's not.
It's an odyssey when you have to take two flights to get to Albany and then drive a few hours after that to get to LP. I live in the South and my trips to Vancouver have been shorter than my trip to LP. It also adds the expense of a rental car or another form of transportation.
I've never been to Lake Placid.
Much as I would like to attend events there, the available transportation options are not feasible for me.
I'm in the South, also.
Not everyone drives
Just to show I'm not a total East Coast hater - I would LOVE if SA went to Atlanta
Lake Placid FTW.
Oooh, this! Indy is SO easy to navigate!
Then how do you get there? I tried to see if a bus from Albany was feasible last time, but the bus schedule wouldn't work out with the flight schedule.
Since it has been announced (in the JGP thread), that there's a JGP in Lake Placid over the Labour Day weekend 2012, I doubt that they would put SA there 6 weeks later.
But stranger things have happened ....
How about:
Providence RI
Worcester MA
Norfolk VA
Albany NY
Hershey PA
Charlotte NC
I think all of those have arenas that house minor league hockey. Do they have skate club sponsors?
I'd do Hartford, Pittsburgh, Lake Placid, or Reading again too. Maybe I will finally see the Pagoda.
I don't think a local skate club is needed as a sponsor for SA. It's an ISU event, so the USFSA is considered the LOC, I think.
I'd go for Hershey - that's an easy drive for me. Providence would be good, too - cheap, direct flight on SW. Same with Albany. Charlotte is also direct. I think Norfolk and Worcester are too far off the beaten path.
that was my point - the requirement of a couple of hours of driving added on to whatever other travel is necessary makes LP a really challenging location.
Separate names with a comma.

The camp this year focused on early settlers to the Lyons area, including Colorado trading posts and the state's cultural heritage.
The young campers, ages seven to eleven, learned about life in Lyons at the turn of the century through interactive lessons, creative scenarios, decorative crafts, and a treasure hunt through the collected old treasures at the museum. Each day, the children

According to Mayor Randy Stephens, state law gives the council the right to appoint the city clerk and municipal judge. During an organizational meeting in November, the council also reappointed the police chief. The struggles came over the city's fire chief. At that meeting, fire chief and former mayor Chris Edwards was appointed to a 90-term as the city's acting fire chief. After 90 days, the council voted to reappoint Edwards for another temporary 90-term. Two weeks later, after a discussion with lawyers from the Alabama League of Municipalities, Stephens appointed Edwards permanently, ruffling the feathers of some council members.
Stephens said he opposed Tuesday night's ordinance because it listed positions — street superintendent and the golf course positions — as officers, when they had formerly been employees of the city.
Council member George Sides Jr. spoke up in favor of the ordinance, because he believes the appointing power should rest with the council, not the mayor.
Sides and council members Hezikiah Walker, Betty Sanders and Richard Lovelady voted in favor of the ordinance. Stephens and council members Robbie Busby, Clyde Nix and Mayor Pro Tem Gary Thomas voted against it. A 4-4 tie vote means the measure did not pass.
•The council hired Don Cummings to be the new manager at Horse Creek Golf Course. The current manager, Jack Bergsieker, is retiring on April 1 after 15 years of services to the city. The council voted to give Bergsieker free golf for life in appreciation for his service.
•The council approved an Eagle Scout project for the lake at Dora Park. The project will build a covered gazebo-type structure near the lake. The scout is responsible for fundraising for the project so the city incurs no cost.
•The council approved the Dora Fire Department's appearance in a training video, pending approval from the city's insurance company. The department was chosen to star in the video dealing with roadway hazards and explosives.
•The council approved repairs to the city's garbage truck. The council is looking for options to purchase a new truck in the future, but expressed a need to keep the current truck running as long as possible.

Take a poll among your friends and ask if cutting coupons, watching for specials and being selective consumers are as valued as the etiquette part of shopping. Surveys show that people do wish that consideration and manners were included more in the shopping scene.
The public-comment phase began this week for environmental studies on Castaic's proposed new high school site, and we couldn't be more pleased with its progress and the hope it signals that some day soon, the doors will open to the William S. Hart Union High School District's high school in Castaic.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I, for one, am tired of the shenanigans.

We all know that perception often influences our decisions, yet we catch ourselves and become reminded that what we perceive isn't always what's really going on. With the constant barrage of information available in today's 24/7 world, it's important to not get caught up in the day-to-day market volatility and news headlines. That daily hype doesn't always dovetail with what Wells Fargo Advisors top strategists are observing in the financial marketplace.

I hadn't recognized the voice, though I regularly talked to the people at that supposed location. I figured that somehow the phone line was connected in a locale other than the remote office. I thought it would be simple to verify and an easy fix for the phone company. Wrong!
I called the phone company, but the rep said it had to be someone in my building answering -- which I was very sure it was not. I said I believed that the phone side of the copper line was connected elsewhere in the city. The phone company assured me that was impossible and the line checked clear from its tests.
I asked the phone company to verify the physical location of the actual drop for the line, but the rep refused, insisting the tests showed the line to be fine and blaming any problems on the DSL provider. The DSL vendor also claimed immunity, stating it only used the copper line the phone company had provided.
Now I was between a rock and a hard spot as the two accused each other, with neither doing anything to investigate the problem and instead passing me to higher-ups. To further aggravate the situation, the phone lines were governed by the state PUC, while the Internet was governed by the FCC. Neither of these agencies knows the meaning of the word "speed."
I began filing complaints with both agencies and contacted state and federal congressmen. I was flabbergasted that I could identify an easily verifiable problem, yet all institutions refused to help and kept blaming the other party. I remained enough of a pain that I was able to finally get to the bottom of the situation.
What happened was that the copper POTS number had been installed in an apartment building, and it wasn't disconnected when the prior tenants moved out. When we received the line, the phone system "reactivated" that number and the apartment building number functioned as an extension on the line. The apartment remained empty for months and we didn't use that phone line, so the oversight went unnoticed for a while. What I'd been repeatedly told was "impossible" was, indeed, "possible." However, it took the phone company almost three weeks to resolve this nightmare and reimburse us for the back charges.
Now I'm even more vigilant about double-checking everything -- and never, ever assume something will work as expected even if it's been fine in the past. I always go on site after any install, plug a cheap phone into the system, and call my cellphone to verify proper porting of any number. I also make sure I have the number contracted and not take the phone company's word for it.
I learned it seems that the larger the institutions involved, the more they seem to be able to shrug off responsibility. Hopefully, I won't have to deal with any for a long time.

MARION COUNTY, TN (WRCB) -- Marion County detectives say 33-year-old Christopher Conner is now behind bars for having sex with a teenage girl he knew from church.
The victim told Whitwell police last Thursday Conner assaulted her at Whitwell High School, but detectives later found that wasn't true.
Sheriff Bo Burnett isn't sure why the girl lied.
"I'm assuming she did it to protect him. She did have medical issues to take care of that Thursday."
Burnett says the girl went to Conner's home and had sex with him.
We went there to get his side of the story, but a woman inside claiming to be a family member is reluctant to talk to our camera. She eventually answers our questions, but briefly.
The woman says she was upset and it didn't know much more before shutting the door.
She wouldn't say how long Conner and the victim have known each other, but Burnett says Conner has worked with the church youth program in the past.
This is also Conner's first time being accused of wrong doing.
Police say at this time Conner isn't cooperating.
"The investigator tried to question him and he asked for a lawyer so we can't talk to him," Burnett says.
Conner is still at the Marion County jail being held on a $150,000 bond.
He is facing two statutory rape charges and will have his first appearance next week.

Greetings from TokyoPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
But seriously, things here are off to a wonderful start. Japanese officials, from customs to school guards, have been without exception gracious and helpful every step of the way. I'm in a pleasant hotel, right around the corner from an excellent fresh food market, among other things. Speaking of food, I've had several delicious meals already, which is not the way things usually are when I travel in unfamiliar places — usually the first few meals are pretty awful, until I figure out a bit of how to get what I'm looking for.
As for the trip, less said the better. I know a number of people who make the trans-Pacific journey a couple times a month, and I have newfound respect for what they go through. They must have some pretty thick scar tissue over the wounds to their sleep-patterns.

When Chef Rudy Mihal gets it right, the results can be spectacular.
You might remember his stint at Odyssey in Windsor a some years back, where he cooked classic Italian and French dishes with great skill, even selling a few of his $22 hamburgers (they had foie gras inside the ground beef), and they were fabulous.
Then he cooked at Spoonbar in Healdsburg, where the fare was interesting and modern, but not particularly exciting.
Restaurant Rudy
Now he's in Sonoma at Restaurant Rudy, where the food is a mixed bag. He bills the food as "contemporary Cal-Mediterranean cuisine," but it's mostly good old American cooking. There's nothing particularly Californian or Mediterranean about a pulled-pork sandwich served with mac and cheese, or about the Wednesday Night Special ($20.13, 2 stars), a three-course meal of lettuce salad with Caesar dressing, southern fried chicken, buttermilk biscuit, mashed potatoes with white gravy, sautéed collards and apple crumble with Chantilly cream. The chicken breast in this special was overdone and dry, and the thigh was bloody pink at the bone.
Despite that, Rudy Mihal is a very talented chef, which he proves at Restaurant Rudy with a real Mediterranean classic, a starter of Tortelli ($14, 4 stars). Tortelli are like large ravioli. If you've ever wondered just what is meant by pasta cooked "al dente," Mihal provides the answer with these packets of goodness. They're stuffed with exquisite Bellwether Farms sheep's milk ricotta, given a touch of lemon, and finished in a sauce of brown butter enhanced with a drop of balsamic vinegar.
You can enjoy these lovelies in the dining room at a table or banquette lit by skylights and wall sconces. An eclectic mix on the sound system might include oldies like "The Girl from Ipanema," Middle Eastern music, folk-indie tunes, and jazz. Or mosey to a table in the al fresco courtyard out back where, on certain nights, you might hear live music.

Mississippi Loggers Association - About Us
The Mississippi Loggers Association was formed in January of 1989. A group of loggers met to discuss a number of problems they had and felt that they had no common voice in solving those problems. The idea of an association came from that meeting. We hope that you will explore our site and find interest in this organization and become aware of what we do and what we stand for. Our staff is here to help landowners and those whom the logging industry supports. Please visit our membership page if you are not already involved in our organization.

DELAWARE - In the wake of AstraZeneca announcing that they will be cutting 1,200 jobs in Delaware, the Governor, both Senators, and a Congressman have released statements.
Governor Jack Markell said "we know we have a great workforce in Delaware and the AstraZeneca employees affected by this decision are part of our talented scientific pool. I am greatly disappointed by the job losses at the company and for the employees whose lives will be painfully and directly affected. The company says the job re-locations and eliminations will happen gradually over time with various projects, and we will offer state employment transition support services to employees who need assistance as that happens. AstraZeneca leadership has shared its goals of restoring company growth and co-locating work teams in order to be strategically successfully, but Delaware remains home to AstraZeneca's North American headquarters and will be a reporting base for its global innovations group."
Senator Tom Carper (D-Del.) said "today's announcement by AstraZeneca is a body blow to our state and, most importantly, to the thousands of AstraZeneca employees who call Delaware home. As Governor, I led an amazing team effort to convince AstraZeneca to bring its North American headquarters to Delaware and to commit to growing its company in our state. I had faith that this was an effort that would create new, good-paying jobs, generate economic activity, and help build a better quality of life for thousands of high-skill workers in the First State. For years, AstraZeneca has been that good corporate citizen in Delaware, which is what makes this decision all the more painful for me and especially for those 650 men and women who will lose their jobs at the company and the additional 550 employees whose jobs will leave Delaware for other locations. On one hand, we are grateful that another option - the complete closure of operations in Delaware - was averted and that 2,300 jobs will remain in Delaware along with AstraZeneca's global headquarters. I remain hopeful that AstraZeneca can eventually overcome this adversity and find new ways to make their company more competitive in the future, but this outcome is still deeply, deeply disappointing. But I like to quote Albert Einstein who said, 'In adversity lies opportunity.' In the face of such daunting news, pursuing opportunity can be challenging. But the Governor, our Congressional Delegation and I will be relentless in our efforts to recruit new industry and tenants to fill this hole that AstraZeneca is leaving behind, so hopefully neither the facilities nor these employees will be idle for long. Delaware is a prime place to do business because we have some of the best workers in the world, and any industry could and should succeed here in the First State."
Senator Chris Coons said "this is a disappointing day for Delaware, and devastating news for the 1,200 AstraZeneca employees and their families affected by this decision. Delawareans will stand with our neighbors during this challenging time, and I am committed to doing whatever I can to help them through it. I have spoken with AstraZeneca's leadership and will continue to advocate on behalf of those impacted by this decision. Our talented workforce has long made Delaware a destination for companies doing advanced research, and it is my hope that some of these positions will find their way back home to Delaware soon. There is a wide array of innovative companies doing high-end research that could really benefit from the enormously talented scientists and researchers now looking for work."
Congressman John Carney said "the announcement that AstraZeneca plans to eliminate 1,200 jobs from their Delaware headquarters is a huge disappointment. This development is terrible news for our state, and in particular, for the dedicated, hard-working employees who are going to lose their jobs due to corporate restructuring. While today's decision is a significant setback, Delaware is still well-positioned to attract highly-skilled, good-paying jobs in science, technology, and research. But we must redouble our efforts to create a business climate in Delaware that is attractive to employers. In the meantime, I will work with the Congressional delegation and Governor Markell to do all that we can to help the workers and their families get through this difficult situation and ensure they have the resources to take advantage of new job opportunities."

the gentleman who helped me set up my account at the store, and showed me over to my unit - I think his name was Gary - he was really nice and courteous, professional, and most importantly honest. he didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. i'm only going to need my unit another couple months but i'd DEFINITELY recommend uncle bob's storage to anyone.Nicholas from Safety Harbor, FL
July 29, 2014
She greeted us as we came in the door I had reserved via internet and everything was all set. Took us to the unit and showed it to us. Was very friendly. Also we used a truck and had to pick up at a different Uncle Bob's and the woman there was just as friendly and helpful. All in all exceeded my expectations.linda from tampa, FL

I've now dealt with Rick at the Drew Street location, Glen, Frank, and Dana at our location, and a couple of people down I-19 past Ulmerton who unfortunately had to deal with me at my most miserable. We had an awful experience with our movers--truly terrible. And the entire time, the Uncle Bob's staff did everything they could to help us. They bent over backwards to accommodate our needs and I can't say enough about my positive experiences with the staff at all three locations, except to say that the fact that I know most of the by name should tell you how much of an impression they made on me. Whatever you do, keep up this amazing level of hiring quality people and providing such great facilities and service. You are amazing.Blake from Clearwater, FL

Costa Magica at Fort-de-France, Martinique. Cruise ships generally dock at the Quai des Tourelles, a 15 minute walk from downtown Fort de France. Alternatively ships may berth at the industrial facility of Pointe Des Carriers, a shuttle bus ride into the center.
Fort De France Walking Tour
Highlights of a Fort De France Waling Tour include Fort Saint-Louis, a fortress built during the reign of Louis XIII (but closed to the public), St Louis Cathedral, built in 1895 with an ornate bell tower, Bibliotheque Schoelche, constructed in Paris for the Exposition of 1889, then moved brick-by-brick to Martinique to be rebuilt in 1893, and La Savane Gardens, home to the headless statue of Josephine Bonaparte. Don't forget to take a break during your tour to enjoy the local specialty, fresh sugarcane juice ('jus de canne'). A blue painted sidewalk takes you from the Tourelles cruise ship pier around the dock along some busy roads to the Savane Gardens.
The nearest beach to the cruise port is Anse-Mitan, a 20 minute boat ride across the bay. There's a regular ferry service from Quai Ouest (see insert on picture for location). The beach is perfect for sunbathing and swimming, and you'll find sunloungers and umbrellas for hire. Behind the beach there are lots or bars/cafes, perfect for a light midday lunch.
The next stop on the ferry after Anse-Mitan is Anse-a-l'Ane, a beautiful beach with a more natural feel. Place your towel under the shade of a palm tree and enjoy some serious downtime!
Dillon Distillery
A short taxi drive away from the cruise ship pier you'll find the Dillon Distillery where after watching a educative slide show, you'll be served a selection of various Dillon rums. Open weekdays only.
Balata Gardens
A shore excursion favourite, the Balata Gardens boasts a huge variety of tropical plants and hundreds of species of palm trees. A new visitor attraction is a treetop trail, allowing you to see the tree canopy up close. Balata Gardens is seven miles north from Fort-de-France.

"Everyone loved the card, it became a mini album of our vacation. I loved the ability to personalize. The pearlizing of the card really added a nice sheen so that was a nice final touch. The quality of the paper is A-1. The printing was beautiful. I loved being given a free hand to "create" and also knowing that a Tiny Prints tech would be available if I ran into a snag. Great experience! Will be doing this every year now with you. Thank you! Rosemary Place, Chicago, Illinois"
"I really loved this card. I opted for using white text on an "ocean/beach colored" image and it is beautiful. The white could be a tad hard to read for some but it is very soft and pretty!"
"I love this card! First, the weight of the paper is substantial which makes it feel lush. Second, the gilding is subtle in an antiqued gold. And, finally, I loved the simplicity and beauty of the fonts. The card overall feels expensive and understated."
"The design of this card is outstanding! I absolutely love the fading of our picture with the pinecone design. We used the red colour and it turned out beautiful. The gold is not sparkly, but yet still looks great and elegant. The paper is very thick and holds great on a table. I did not use the Pearl White Shimmer paper, but perhaps have should…"
"Ordering my Christmas cards from Tiny Prints was a very fun and easy experience. Designing the card was most fun of all. There were so many good choices to pick from, but I knew what I wanted from the start. When I received the cards they were absolutely beautiful and I couldn't wait to send them out. The quality of the paper was excellent and all the photos were clear and of good color. They were so good I am thinking of ordering more. I am definitely hooked on Tiny Prints!"

Modular Customized Wall Units
Modular Customized Wall Units, to personalize your living environment
A concept in their own right, the Modular Customized Wall Units are GRANGE's response to expectations in terms of functional features and customising related to today's ways of life… Whether it is to save space or to create a multipurpose room, to meet the requirements of a space or a style of interior, or to redesign a bedroom, an entrance, a study or a living room, Grange proposes to adapt to everyone's desires on the basis of 3 main collections: Ateliers [Workshops], Louis-Philippe and Directoire. Offering a wide range of combinations (widths, depths, heights and layouts) and finishes, the Modular Customized Wall Units also have many optional possibilities of adding fittings to facilitate daily use. And, since every request is unique, Grange also has a team of designers devoted to customized projects.

So I said to the former legislator, a Democrat who unlike many retired voluntarily before Republicans assumed control of the state House and Senate, That was a pretty moderate budget Gov. Pat McCrory and Art Pope just put together. None of the predicted slashing and burning.
Aw...you know better than that, he said. Theyll (legislators) take that budget, say thank you very much governor, hows everything, see you later and then theyll do what they want to do. He predicted twas not time to put aside fears of slashing and burning.
These days on Jones Street, the Republicans in Charge too often justify the fears that arise in moderates (and even in some Republicans) when they commence to law-make. Thus far, theirs has been a session obsessed, it seems, with making up for lost time.
The lost time is the 100-plus years since Republicans last ran both houses of the North Carolina General Assembly. They took over in 2010.
But it appears theyre about to catch up. If they want to call it that.
Consider that thus far in their rule, Republicans have, in no particular order, declined state participation in the federal health care exchanges that will be available next year for all Americans. Because they wont participate, the federal government will come in and run an exchange itself. The battle cry against participating was simply, Obamacare, synonymous with treason as far as tea party Republicans are concerned.
The GOP also rejected expanding Medicaid and extended unemployment compensation for North Carolinians out of work. Both free, but connected to the federal government. Boo, federal government!
They did that anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment at a time when polls show more than half of all Americans arent against gay marriage anymore. To the rear, harch!
Theyre trying to strip state boards and commissions of Democratic members because theyre...well, theyre Democrats. Boo, Democrats!
Theyre attacking public school teachers even though most parents really like public school teachers and a fourth of families have a teacher in them. Dont care. Boo, teachers!
Theyve gone after the University of North Carolina system, talking about cutting the budget and downsizing it. Boo, Carolina! Boo, State!
And the Republicans are even now after what seemed to be a fairly good for all deal to turn the Dorothea Dix mental hospital property, owned by the state and leased to Raleigh, into a park. Seems harmless, but parks are outdoors, and we all know whats outdoors: air, water, nature, little critters and trees! Boo trees, and all the commies who hug them!
But the Republicans do have something in common with Obama. His 2008 slogan was Yes we can. Their slogan for a theme to this General Assembly seems to be, Because we can.
Perhaps the politics of slash and burn is the way to go, but right now it looks like the way to go home in the next election.
For there is evidence in North Carolinas fairly recent history that the politics of optimism, of doing things, of spending money, of figuring ways to creatively get things done against all odds...actually works.
Take the Dix controversy for example. There was another time a swatch of Dix Hospital property was transferred from one body to another, in 1984, to create something now world-renowned called Centennial Campus. Gov. Jim Hunt took some heat for it. He just did it, and he was right. It was the politics of optimism
Before that, during his first two terms in 1977-1985, Hunt engaged in intense recruiting of new business, with wild success. He did research and found a need for a biotechnology center, so he saw that one was built. He started the N.C. School of Science and Math for the best and brightest high school students. He started the Smart Start early childhood initiative, which produced tangible results in improving chances in kindergarten and first grade for disadvantaged children.
And when he contemplated a fourth term in 1996, he decided to go one more time with a single primary goal, bringing North Carolina teacher salaries to the national average. Then he did it.
It was the politics of promise, of hope, of faith in people, of determination to do the right thing even if it meant going against the odds and sometimes against the clear will of a majority of people (such as his support for the Equal Rights Amendment). It was, he used to say, about building the state.
These days, Republicans, many of them not bad folks but driven foremost by a single-minded Republican ideology of downsizing government and destroying all programs created by Democrats, are carrying around their tool belts and their 2 x 4s, but theyre more interested in destruction than in building.
That might win an election here and there, but its not going to leave a legacy behind. At least, not one worth having.

Unsatisfied with taking Matt Greene and Willie Mitchell out for the rest of the season, the Hockey Gods claimed another victim from Los Angeles' defense last night. After taking a seemingly innocuous-looking hit in the game against St. Louis, Alec Martinez will be placed on injured reserve.
When reached for comment, the gods expressed frustration that they were not able to take out Drew Doughty's foot or Rob Scuderi's eye back in Columbus. "Nothing personal against Martinez," they remarked. "He was just the next d-man on the list. By the way, we're mad at you."
Why? "You're a Kings fan. You know the drill."
They also added that Slava Voynov "better keep his head on a swivel."
All Kings fans are urged to burn miniature championship banners and pour out shots of whiskey as sacrifices. Spare rabbit feet, evil eye pendants, and lucky pennies found on the street should be forwarded to the remaining roster immediately. Those wishing to go the extra mile may light a candle in memory of Andrei Loktionov.
In the meantime, Andrew Campbell should be recalled from Manchester. So far his bones are unbroken.
No official word yet on whether Lombardi is working to trade a 5th round pick for Thomas Hickey.

Sources tell FOX4 that A.C. Gonzalez will be the next city manager of Dallas.
The Dallas City Council had been considering three finalists: Interim City Manager Gonzalez, David Cooke, a retired county manager from north Carolina and Deanna Santana, a city administrator from Oakland.
The council is set to formally approve Gonzalez' hire at Tuesday's meeting. But the rumored choice is already generating opposition from a powerful group in Dallas – the Fraternal Order of Police.
The FOP said Gonzalez is one of the candidates on the group's do-not-want list for three reasons: pay, benefits and safety of employees.
"These are some important issues that affect our families, affect our job, affect the officers each and every day," said Fraternal Order of Police President Richard Todd.
The FOP wrote a letter to the council stating they "cannot in good conscious support the selection of A.C. Gonzalez."
Gonzalez has worked 15 years as an assistant city manager in Dallas.
Todd said as interim manager, Gonzalez did not work to restore salaries slashed during tough economic times. Todd said some officers are having problems with insurance and Gonzalez has made no effort to make police substations more secure.
Council members contacted by FOX4 did not call back or wouldn't comment on the apparent hiring of Gonzalez. A spokesman for Mayor Mike Rawlings said he was unavailable and he "won't be commenting about the search until after the Tuesday vote."

Wednesday, January 20, 2010
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- An early morning fire in a sign at the Covenant Presbyterian Church lit up the side of Dawson Road Wednesday.
There were no injuries, and the church at 2126 West Edgewater Drive near Lake Loretta was not harmed, said Albany Fire Department Deputy Chief Ron Rowe.
An electrical short caused the sign to erupt in flames at about 6:12 a.m., Rowe said. Firefighters used 50 gallons of water and had the fire out at 6:18 a.m.
"There was probably about $2,000 damage to the sign," Rowe said. "If they replace it, it will have to be inspected."
It was too soon to know if the sign would be replaced, said Tim Olds, the church's associate pastor. The church has a board of elders that would have to be part of the decision process, he added.
The sign wasn't elaborate, Olds said. It was pretty much a fluorescent light that cast light down onto a black background that had white hand-placed letters in slots.
"This just happened this morning," Olds said. "We will take our time to decide what to do."

The fear was palpable, not that long ago, when industrial giant General Electric announced that it was building a new, state-of-the-art locomotive plant in Texas.
Wait a minute!
Building GE locomotives is what we do here in Erie; building a newer, more efficient plant in a right-to-work state like Texas could only mean one thing, at least to the corner barstool crowd.
That the end was near for Erie's largest employer and soon we would be just another manufacturing ghost town as companies flee the cold, tax- and union-heavy north for the warm, friendly climes of the American south.
But, just like Mark Twain is so often (and wrongfully) paraphrased:
The news of our demise may be premature.
I first started hearing from construction workers a few months back that the company is investing in a major overhaul of some of the office space, so much so that some of the staff would be moving off campus and could be gone as long as two years.
Those workers assure me that's not the behavior of a company looking to pull up stakes.
"I don't know," I thought. "I don't see a multi-billion dollar company getting overly concerned over a little carpet and dry wall."
But now comes word this week that the company is also looking to hire some 360 workers and invest 130 million dollars in equipment upgrades here.
Now THAT sounds like a company that isn't looking to pull up stakes soon.
We had heard that the rail companies still need locomotives but were holding off until the economy looked a little sunnier.
That means that the demand is pent up and not completely gone.
This week's announcement appears to be evidence that GE believes that the ice is thawing and the phone is ringing again for the company's mining and rail products.
Let's not be naïve.
Even as vast a sum as 130 million dollars may still be considered a short term investment to an operation the size of a GE.
No future is guaranteed.
But for now at least all signs are pointing to Erie's mainstay staying in Erie.
Sometimes victory must be measured not in what is won, but rather in what is not lost.
