National Press Gives Undue Attention to Single-Issue Boehner Primary Challenger
David Lewis is running for Congress as a Republican in Ohio's Eighth Congressional District for the seat House Speaker John Boehner currently holds. To be kind, Lewis doesn't stand a chance. To be not as kind, the establishment press is using Lewis's candidacy as an excuse to attempt to cast doubt on the ability of Tea Party activists and the GOP establishment to get along. To be clear, there's plenty of reason for the existence of such doubts, but David Lewis's candidacy is certainly not one of them.
To the chagrin of the GOP establishment, I'm a fan of serious primary efforts, especially against incumbents who may have lost their way. But Lewis's effort is not serious. It is fundamentally flawed in its premise and completely miscasts Boehner's current prolife record. It also has given the press an opportunity to distort the priorities of the Tea Party movement.
Lewis's one and only issue, as reported by the Cincinnati Enquirer, is "Boehner's support of a federal budget that provided funding to Planned Parenthood, which Lewis calls 'the largest killer of unborn babies in America.'"
The truth -- and shame on the Enquirer's Sheila McLaughlin for not reporting it -- is that Boehner held out for an outcome which for the first time in memory did NOT provide direct federal funding to Planned Parenthood, as Fox News, doing the work that McLaughlin, the Associated Press and others wouldn't do, reported on Saturday (bolds are mine throughout this post):
Republicans had fought to ban federal funds for Planned Parenthood, a health care services provider that is also the nation's largest provider of abortions. But Democrats rejected the proposal. Republicans settled on a compromise to distribute federal funds for family planning and related health services to the states rather than directly to Planned Parenthood and other organizations.
It is true that in many states, the result will not change, as many of the will choose to continue to direct money to Planned Parenthood. But some are choosing not to. Predictably, they are running into authoritarian opposition from both the judicial and executive branches.
In Kansas, the courts are forcing the issue:
Kansas Appeals Ruling Forcing it to Fund Planned Parenthood
The state of Kansas will appeal the latest ruling from a federal judge forcing the state to send taxpayer funds to the Planned Parenthood abortion business. The state announced it will comply with the most recent decision.
Late Tuesday, a judge ordered the state to send taxpayer funds to the abortion business following complaints from it that it lost state public funding. U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten ruled that Kansas must fund the abortion business even though it did not cancel an contracts with the agency that were in effect at the time a new state provision went into place denying taxpayer funding via the family planning program to any agencies that do abortions.
Marten, in his ruling, also rejected the state's request to only give Planned Parenthood taxpayer money on a monthly basis while its lawsuit moves forward rather than in a quarterly lump sum covering three months. Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Western Missouri had complained earlier Tuesday that it would have to close its Hays, Kansas abortion referral clinic by Friday if the judge did not order the stand to fork over tax money to fund it.
In New Hampshire, the Obama administration has just exposed its authoritarian face after the Granite State tried to redirect Planned Parenthood funding:
Obama Forces New Hampshire to Fund Planned Parenthood
Late Tuesday, the Obama administration made a decision to force New Hampshire taxpayers to fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business after the state's Executive Council voted to revoke a $1.8 million contract.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced it will provide the contract for family planning with Planned Parenthood directly from the federal government to the abortion business rather than routing the money through the state and letting New Hampshire officials determine who should receive the Title X grants. The council voted against funding because Planned Parenthood does abortions and its top officials earn big six-figure salaries.
HHS's move appears to constitute a lawless act. The compromise described earlier sends money to the states to be used as they see fit within specified parameters. The Obama administration doesn't like what New Hampshire is doing, and is arbitrarily and without requisite authority usurping the state's legislated autonomy. If a Republican presidential administration were doing something analogous, the press would be all over it.
Someone needs to tell challenger Lewis that these disputes would not even be occurring if it weren't for the Boehner-driven compromise providing state autonomy. Instead, funding for Planned Parenthood would still be freely flowing directly from the federal government without the states having any say in the matter. To the extent that challenges are occurring, judges and Obama administration officials are exposing themselves, at least in the aforementioned instances, as authoritarians and tyrants.
I might have missed it, but I don't recall any of the twelve Congresses controlled by Republicans from 1995-2006 doing anything, or even trying to do anything, about the Planned Parenthood problem. The first Congress headed by Speaker Boehner did something -- not enough, in my view, but certainly enough to make Lewis's claim that Boehner "doesn't really believe in the pro-life issues" obviously and utterly ridiculous. That Boehner engineered any kind of improvement in a situation where his party only controls one-half of one branch of government should be seen as impressive but not totally surprising, given his 100% rating from the National Right to Life Committee.
In light of the above, I would suggest that Mr. Lewis expand the scope of his candidacy beyond the single issue just identified, on which he is clearly wrong, and move to more potentially valid criticisms concerning the relative timidity of the results of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 attempts at spending control. Absent such expansion, David Lewis's candidacy is utterly without foundation, as is any legitimacy to his self-identifying claim that he is a "tea party activist." Lewis is a "pro-life activist." There's nothing wrong and a lot right about that, but that's all he is. I would also suggest, based on what I know of Tea Party activities in Clermont County, where Lewis is based, that his claim to be a "Tea Party leader" is more than a little suspect.
One thing Lewis has done is give the nation's gleeful establishment press a chance to connect fiscally-oriented Tea Party sympathizers with the (supposedly disliked) pro-life movement. Though most legitimate Tea Party activists likely feel that life issues are extremely important and are probably strongly pro-life, by definition they would not run entirely on the single issue of Planned Parenthood abortion funding as Lewis is. Though comparison by search results isn't conclusive because of the passage of time and the expiration of news stories, it appears that Lewis's challenge announcement is getting as much or possibly more attention than antiwar, anti-Bush darling Cindy Sheehan's 2007 announcement that she would challenge Democrat and then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Thanks for nothing, pal.
Icing on the cake: Lewis lives in the Cincinnati east exurb of Batavia, which is roughly 25 miles from the closest edge of Boehner's currently drawn Eighth District. Lewis says he'll move into Boehner's district if he wins the primary. Zheesh.

The media will jump at anything at all

...to try to sow the seeds of discord.
I know many conservatives here dislike Boehner and feel he caves too easily. But I have a feeling he is a very strategic thinker, and is playing the long game rather than the short game. The more I see him in action, the more convinced I am that his comity and "go along to get along" with Obama and the democrats is nothing more than a facade. He's getting more and more of the conservative agenda put front and center (for cryin' out loud, Obama is now talking huge spending cuts) than he would with hard core bombast.
So let the media take their shots. Boehner & his posse (Ryan and Cantor) are more than capable of deflecting these shots, for now. And in 2012, the real change begins.

Boehner needs to go
Submitted by lrgon on Sun, 09/18/2011 - 3:58pm.
The primary is a more permanent fashion. The House members need to remove him from Speaker and replace him with someone who won't back down from raising the debt ceiling. He reneged on that promise to the Tea Party.That makes him a rat in my book.

And the next time he reaches across the aisle to play nice with the people who are very rapidly destroying our America, I hope he gets a hernia.
Any republican that aided and abetted the Dear Ruler in getting his grimy hands on a $2.2 trillion slush fund...oops, I mean debt ceiling increase (which Obama will spend every dime of between now and the election in an effort to buy as many votes as he can) does not deserve to be serving in congress.

The ONLY reason the media is playing up this story is to create a LIE that the Tea Party is tied to the issue of abortion. Every time any commenter tries to tie the Tea Party to social issues, they are actually trying to impose their beliefs on something bigger than they are.
This is actually comming from people on BOTH sides of the aisle.
Look for many 'stories' of how the Tea Party has some secret social agenda that Democrats will condemn as 'extreme'.

Strategic? For whom? Relection?
He demanded people shut up & contribute money to the faltering DC GOP selected rino McNasty's campaign. Shut up? Just send Money? Strategic?

Not only should he be challenged, he should be beaten.
But then, there is the CRs the raise in debt ceiling, the continued borrowing, the refusal to reign in the executive branch alphabet departments, bureaus and agencies and and and and and and.
For crying out loud, the local Republicans here just pass legislation at the city and county levels to ignore outright the Fourth Amendment and require that all copper recyclers keep detailed records of all scrap sellers, including license plate numbers and driver's license copies that - get this- police can access at their leisure without a warrant.
The Establishment Republican party members have just plain lost their minds, not just their way.
They gotta go.

Opening comments:
BROWN: "Thank you for being here on short notice. The Bengals have entered into an extension of Marvin's contract. We had good discussions over the last two days and I think we cleared a lot of air, things that needed to be better understood by each side. There will be some changes made as we go forward. There will be changes made with playing personnel. There will be changes considered with coaches. We'll examine how they all fit and make decisions after we've had an opportunity to consider that more.
"I think this gives us our best shot going forward, to be the team we want to be. We've had a difficult year. We know the dissatisfaction. We're unhappy with ourselves. People are unhappy with us. We are not far off. We are close to being the kind of team we can be. I think continuity will give us the best shot at becoming that team. We have a good relationship, Marvin and I. We work together well. It isn't an easy relationship, but it's a good one, and people don't have full understanding of how that is. It can be good. It has been good in the past with the results on the field. I think it will be good in the future."
Hello Everyone, We have resigned Marvin. I'm completely lost in doing things around here and I'm pretty comfortable with having him stick around to do most of my work for me. I'll get paid being the GM/Owner either way. I enjoy it too.
LEWIS: "I'm excited about the ability to continue and take the team where I want to take it. As Mike said, none of us are very happy. It's been a season where he and I look at each other every morning, and neither one of us are happy about where we are, but yet Monday, Tuesday we get it back going, and know we have to push forward and do better. I really came to the realization this morning that this is what I want to do. We've been diligent all day in talking about what direction is important to us and what Mike wants to see as we go forward as an organization. I'm excited where we are.
"As I told our players yesterday, we have a core of guys who have endured a very difficult season because of my inability to get our good players to make plays to win games. That's my fault. I did not do a good enough job to put them in position to make the plays to win the games. When you lose close games like we did, we didn't make those plays. When we're successful I get too much credit, but when we lose I know it's my fault. I get all the blame, and I want it. It is my fault, and I've got to do a better job. I'm excited about it to go forward.
"The other thing to me is that I feel like it's a new beginning. It's a start-over, way different than we were in 2003 when we began this. There are some things that I think are important to Mike and I both, that we're very sure about now. As I work with him and we keep putting the pieces in place to make this a football team that not only goes to the playoffs, but wins that last game and is eventually World Champions, that's what our goal is. Nobody wants it more than the two guys sitting up here, and the rest of his family, and the coaches and players. I'm excited about it going forward."
I knew I wouldn't be able to find another Head Coach job anywhere else in the NFL. So I decided to stick around under Mike's conditions. Mike told me I was dumb for not playing the young guys. I agreed because I wanted to keep this job. Now I'm going to tell you all a bunch of B.S. that I know you and the fans want to hear. We want to win the Super Bowl.
On if Lewis now has more control over personnel decisions:
LEWIS: "I don't know where that comes from, because I don't know if I've sat down here and ever said that (that he less than unsatisfied with control over personnel). People keep putting that out there. I have a lot of input in our personnel. It's Mike's ultimate say-so. He's the owner, he's the general manager, and it's my job when we disagree to show him why this is the way I think. As he will tell you, most times he sides with me. It's my job to educate him on why it's the way I see it. I understand that. I actually relish that opportunity. As I've said many times, it's one-stop shopping. There's no middleman I have to go through. He and I talk and discuss each and every morning or afternoon or whenever it occurs, and that's the way it is."
Mikes an idiot and obviously I have to baby him when we disagree. I enjoy that because it's funny sometimes how dumb he is and it cracks me up. You guys have made up this whole I want more control stuff and I don't know why. Mikes dumb and will fold if I push hard enough.
On what better understanding needed to happen between the two to have this deal done:
BROWN: "We talked about a range of things. Oddly, some of the things that are out there in the public are not things that are issues between us. Personnel is an issue in the sense that we want to be better and we want to play the right guys. We want to get the right guys up and out there as soon as we can. How we do things on a coaching level is an issue. There are some things that we both think need to be addressed, and will be as we go forward. There are different ways to address them. We can get change internally or we can get it externally, but we are going to have change."
I've let Marvin tell me what to do for quite sometime now. I don't understand why he's not playing cheap draft picks and keeps insisting I sign veterans. Obviously at the end of the year we started to play the young guys and had some success. So i was right and he was wrong. Obviously something needs to change but I don't know what that is yet.
On what types of changes are planned:
BROWN: "It has to do with how we set ourselves up to play the game, what we do when we are playing an opponent. That's the real nitty-gritty of what matters. As far as Marvin's role on personnel, I would venture he as a strong a voice in personnel as any coach in the National Football League. I can only think of an example or two at most when we may have done something differently than Marvin would have preferred, and in those cases I am not sure they were all that important decisions. It's a misunderstanding to disguise it differently. People don't know because they aren't there seeing how we interact, but that is how we interact."
Marvin has an issue with game management and he knows it. As far as bringing guys in and out I wanted Chris Henry back and he didn't. You guys blew one personnel decision way out context and made it seem like we hated each other. We don't again he's obviously smarter than me on that stuff so I listen to him.
On if there are any changes planned to the coaching staff:
BROWN: "We're going to address that as we go forward. I don't think it's timely to get into it here today, but we both believe things have to be done differently."
Shut up I love Bratkowski but I know he has to go.
On if they're in agreement on what needs to be done with the coaching staff:
BROWN: "It's something that we're going to work together on as we go through the next few weeks."
Again shut up I know I have to fire Bobby even if I don't want to.
On if there are plans to make any changes to the scouting and personnel departments:
BROWN: "The scouting thing is another criticism that rises up when we don't do well. If you look at our record on scouting over the last 10 years, we rank 10th for the number of games played by players we drafted. I think we sank to 11th on the number of players who are in the league that we drafted, and we would be higher than that except for injuries that were serious that players like (David) Pollack suffered, or Chris Perry, or what happened with (Odell) Thurman, or what happened to Chris Henry. We had a number of those. It was disproportionate. I don't apologize for our scouting. It's an easy target, but if you look at the real facts, I think you'll see it differently."
AW! YES! I knew this question was coming! You guys think I'm stupid don't you! I looked up some stats just for this one. I'm going to manipulate and curve things to justify (at least in my own head) that we do okay here. We've had some misfortunes with some of our players that are not my fault. They're the idiots not me. I'm completely ignorant to anything suggesting we don't have good talent evaluators.
On where the team stands on building an indoor practice facility:
BROWN: "Marvin has a desire to have a practice facility. I have a desire, but probably not as keen. That doesn't mean I don't have a desire to do it. The timing is important. Right now, we're faced with major issues in the National Football League, and those are at the front of our agenda. When we get through that, then we'll have time to consider this issue. It's one of the important issues that we have in mind. I would make the comment that some of this is perception. We worked in the cold weather. We played in the cold weather. It didn't seem to hurt us any to practice in the cold weather. We played pretty well in it. But I do know that it's the way it's trending. It's the fact that we have been left behind what others are doing. Whether that makes them better than us because they have an indoor practice facility is a question, but it's coming."
Well in the new CBA I think we're going to screw the players out of some of their cut of the money. I'm banking on that to happen so I can compensate for this investment somewhere. It's not coming out of my pocked I can guarantee you guys that. Sorry Marvin you'll have to wait until I get more money from other people to pay for this. Until then we'll practice in the cold and play in the cold.
On the importance of having a coaching staff in place, given the uncertainty of the Collective Bargaining Agreement:
BROWN: "I think it's important. I would hate to be in the position of a team that had a new coaching staff, and the players showed up two weeks before the first regular season game. I've been there when that happens, so I know it can happen. It's a factor and something I'm conscious of, but it wasn't the principal factor in what we did. Yes, we face some heavy weather here. Things have to be resolved with the (NFL) Players Association. We all want them resolved. They do. We do. The fans do. Everybody does. If they aren't, we have to be prepared to do what we have to do."
No I didn't bring Marvin back because of that. I've been through this before though. If this happens I would like to take advantage of it. Maybe we can have some fluke success because others aren't prepared. I can't wait until this deal is done so I can get some more money.
On the timetable for possible coaching changes:
BROWN: "I think it'll be fairly soon."
Again I know poor Bobby has to go.
On if there was any specific factor in discussions that shaped Lewis' decision to return:
LEWIS: "After the season, we always have a lot to discuss. Obviously this year we had a little more. When you consider all things looking forward, I think this is the right spot for me to be. I'm not happy with where we are. It's not finished. I came here to do a certain thing, and we're not done. I just felt that way. Each year when the players walk out of this building, and just speaking from them and hearing from them all night, we have the nucleus of the right guys. We need to add to it and we will. We had a new outpouring and hatching of these young kids this year. In some cases, (it was) too late, but yet we did, and I think that's a refreshing experience for me. I know it was for Mike. It gives you a new life. I know it was for Carson (Palmer), and I think it showed us a lot.
"Defensively; the young guys continue to go play. I met with the first and second-year guys yesterday in the room, and that's almost half of our team. That's something, and it speaks to the youth of the NFL, particularly where we are. It's an exciting point. It's a point that I didn't wish we had to go through, not knowing whether we're going to be working at the end of March or April. I wish we didn't have go through that, because you want to get back to work. I want the playoffs to be over and the Super Bowl champion to be crowned, so we all start 0-0 and we get back at it."
I know I screwed up by not playing the young guys. Mike was actually right on this one. When Mike's right about something he's like Cartman pointing out cake when he see's it. We did some things at the end of the year that have me excited to comeback and work. I hate the playoffs because we suck when we occasionally make it there.
On what goals Lewis gained in the negotiations:
LEWIS: "I feel good about things. I'm very satisfied about where we are, and that's all I'll say to it. I wouldn't be sitting here if I wasn't satisfied with where we are moving forward."
I gained nothing. I'm just glad to have a Head Coaching job in the NFL.
On whether they have a common ground in philosophies:
LEWIS: "We decided that we're going to input the Wishbone (laughs)."
I told you guys Mike is stupid. He really said this. I thought it was really funny so I thought I'd share it. (laughs)
On specifics regarding the team's goals moving forward:
LEWIS: "We're going to be better. I don't think we want to go any further than that here today. I think that gets to be personal and private. I know publicly, everyone wants this big splash, but I will tell you we will be better."
We're going to fire Bratkowski just give us a minute. We're not going there today.
On if the parameters of an extension proposed last year needed to be changed:
LEWIS: "It really wasn't anything that way. Probably last year at the bye week was the first time we spoke about the extension, and then after the season, and then this fall a couple of times. As I told you guys many times, it's a difficult thing for me to discuss weekly or daily. I'm not comfortable with it. We got to the end of the season, and that's when it was discussed."
I was really hoping we would do better this year so I could get the hell out of Cincinnati.
On Lewis having sounded more optimistic in recent statements about continuing in Cincinnati:
LEWIS: "I didn't want a cloud hanging over our players. And believe me, everyone was trying to put that over our players -- that "is this going to be your (Lewis') last game?' -- and I never felt that. I never felt that from Mike. Mike and I talk daily about our guys, our injured guys, our guys where they are in their careers, our feelings about this or that guy moving forward, and everything that way. It's not my place to go out publically and speak for him, but I didn't get that indication that we were coming down to the last weeks of my career here."
I had no idea I'd still have a job here. Anywhere else I'd be fired. I think the players thought the same way. I didn't really have to say it was something we all assumed.
On whether every current assistant coach is under contract for 2011:
LEWIS: "Not yet."
Bobby is gone. I'm just not telling you that hear today. So please stop asking.
On whether Lewis is getting more say in coaching staff decisions now:
LEWIS: "I've had more say."
I'm not going to talk shit about my boss right in front of him.
On the length of Lewis' contract:
BROWN: "You keep asking, and I don't think the answer's going to change. It's as long as any other coach, or longer. It's long enough to protect him in his position. I would say this: I think we're going to have a better year next year, and it might get longer than that real fast."
We have an easy schedule next year. Marvin does good with easy schedules. Everything will be better next year and I'll sign him for a longer extension. I think Katie and Troy are so comfortable with him that he'll likely be around when they takeover.
On when they will make potential coaching changes:
BROWN: "We'll do it in our way, at our pace, after consideration and discussion. It isn't something we have in mind talking about in detail here today."
I'm firing Bobby stop asking me that!
LEWIS: "It wasn't my place to sit down and talk with anybody the last two days, because I think everyone else has more time here than I did."
I was hoping for more offers but there wasn't any. I was hoping I was going to leave. So no I didn't talk to anyone I thought I'd be gone by now.
On what has changed since his arrival in 2003:
LEWIS: "I think that every time I come down here and say something, it's what we've decided to do, and that's what we've decided – there's no wavering on it. It doesn't matter who proposed it or how it was proposed. I think that's the important part. Once Mike tells me it's going to be green or blue, that's what it's going to be and I go forward with it. What we decide on and however we do it, that's what has to be from an organization standpoint. Certainly, when I go in front of our coaches and our team, that's what it's going to be. When we make a play call, that's the way the play is called. Every play is designed to be successful. I think it's no different with anything that way."
I tell Mike what's right and wrong. Sometimes he doesn't listen. So I go with the flow and hope for success. I've managed to get him to bend on a lot of things but when it comes down to it he's the boss. Don't try and make me take all the credit for the changes around here right in front him.
BROWN: "I want to emphasize that there is very little difference between us, ever. We talk things out. We have hard conversations sometimes. Sometimes they can even be a little brittle, but we work through them and come to conclusions. Sometimes I wish it were the other way more often than not when we have to compromise. It isn't as though I'm dictating and Marvin's a puppet – that is not the way it works. He does have real control – not influence, control – over his area, and that should be understood. That's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. I see it that way. He wants it that way, and that's the way it is."
I hear about what you guys say about me. I don't like it so please stop it. A lot of what you say is wrong and it's really not that way. I really am stupid sometimes. I know that so I let him make a lot more decisions than me.
On how their relationship changed over the past year in negotiations:
BROWN: "You're switching gears here. You're going from what we do on an operating basis to the contractual discussion that we've had between us. One is what we do with our other employees here, how we handle them. The relationship between the two of us is what we worked out together, and it wasn't a bad process. At times it was a difficult one, but we got it worked out to our satisfaction, both of us. I don't think not a bad thing – I think that's a good thing."
There is no beef here. Don't go there. Talk to the hand. I just wish Marvin would trust me when I'm being cheap. He knows that. We've discussed that. Likely nothing will change between us. I don't think that's bad thing. I think that's a good thing.
On possible personnel department changes:
BROWN: "We get criticized for that because we run a lighter crew than some teams do, but I don't know if we do badly there. We picked up Reggie Nelson this year – that's a pretty good acquisition. The year before, we picked up (Brian) Leonard and he helped us a lot. We have people up there who are attuned to this stuff. (Director of Player Personnel) Duke Tobin is on top of it very, very thoroughly. Today, with the communications you have, you can talk to people anytime, anywhere in this country, and we do. You don't have to have a guy sitting in an office doing just that. You can carry this information with you as you travel and then communicate when it's necessary, and that's what we do. I don't think it works badly – I think it works all right."
We do fine here. Why should we spend money scouting players when all the other teams do. If a top round draft pick gets in trouble or gets cut by another team we sign him. There scouts must have seen something in them so we get them cheap. We don't need scouts Dick Tobin knows this philosophy and uses it very well. Umm.. what's that white guys name I forget?
On Lewis being back for his ninth season, becoming the longest tenured coach in club history:
BROWN: "Obviously, unless I felt right about the situation and what he could do with our team, that wouldn't have happened. We have a team that's very close, and I think continuity will help us. We'll add some people. We'll make some changes, and I think we'll get this think quickly back to where we want it to be."
I hate change. We'll add some people and fire some people just enough to get you guys excited. Then we'll have any easy schedule next year and things will look good. I'm not changing anything people. Want some Husmans? I love Husmans and you will eat them if you don't like it.
On how the Bengals can move from this point to return to regular sellouts at home:
BROWN: "You do it one way: you go out on the field and win ballgames, and when you do that, they come. That's what we have to do. We can spiel all we want – maybe that will help some, but there's only one real answer, and that's to win on the field. And that's what we plan to do."
We have to win. I'm stupid but not stupid enough to look stupid. Wait maybe I am. Anyways I'm good at getting people in the stands just look at what Chad and T.O. did for half the season. Aww yea and we also have to win.
On the level of change foreseen for the coaching staff:
BROWN: "We're going to make some changes with what we do. Either the people will do things differently, or there will be other people doing them. That's all we're prepared to say here today, no matter how many times it's asked or in what way it's asked."
I'm going to fire Bobby.. Dammit! You're not going to trick me! Stop asking me this! It's hurting my feelings!
On when player personnel decisions will be made:
BROWN: "They will be made. The first thing was getting the arrangement with Marvin put to bed, and it is. The next thing is dealing with the coaches, and then we'll get into the personnel decisions that have to be made. We'll be a little different team. We were a little different at the end this year, and we have some good young guys, guys that showed very well. Our two defensive ends (Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson) looked to be real keepers in this league, and so do our two young wideouts (Andre Caldwell and Jerome Simpson). Suddenly, we were getting some young people that were showing up. We were moving the ball and sacking the quarterback. We were doing some good things. It's overshadowed because of the record, but we see it and we know it. We know what it means for the future."
The end of the year has tricked me as much as it has you. Except I'm still more naive. We don't need to change anything we'll be good next year.
On whether the team would an invitation to coach the Senior Bowl:
LEWIS: "I've always expressed my desire to Mike that if we're not going to be coaching in the playoffs, we might as well go to work and get to know some of the new prospects as well as we can. I think it's been helpful the two times we've had an opportunity to do it, and I've had a couple other opportunities to do it on other staffs. I think it's always a plus, and it gives you a good insight into the players – to their temperament, how they learn, what kind of guys they are, how they compete – and I think it's been helpful."
We need more scouts. We don't have them and we're not getting them so I have to do the work.
On if coaching the Senior Bowl is helpful for the coaching staff in testing new ideas:
LEWIS: "I think you're a little limited in what you can do there, particularly defensively. Offensively, I guess you can do a little bit more. You're trying to evaluate the players, so it's very fundamental."
No it's worthless for game planning. I'm a defensive guy and this game stinks to me because of that.
On how much his salary played into him signing this deal:
LEWIS: "Not really anything."
Nobody wanted me in the NFL as a head coach. So this was my best offer.
I know this was lengthy but what did I get right and what did I get wrong here guys?

I hope they have the guts to cut some of the empty train routes... and not just try to save a bunch of jobs for the sake of saving jobs....

Yeah John Doe, screw commuters who want to have a little flexibility to travel outside of peak hours when required. Please welcome their cars onto 101 when they're slowing you down.
on Mar 30, 2011 at 11:31 am
Gee, Mr. John Doe, is that really your name? Or do you prefer the anonymity of being a "John Doe?" Perhaps because you KNOW how wrong you are.
I'm retired now and take CalTrain (and Light Rail/local buses) whenever I can. Turns out it is generally easier, cheaper and more relaxing than driving in traffic (yesterday I had to drive to Stanford from a meeting in northeast MV; and my blood pressure rose due to the horrible traffic on 101).
And the few times I don't take it, it's because the mid-day schedule is just once an hour; and I have a time constraint. So as usage increases -- which it WILL when gas prices approach $5/gallon -- which they WILL, hopefully the deficit can be reduced; and eventually the service increased.
And maybe, the price will go up even more, if and when the unrest in the Middle East gets to Saudi Arabia AND hopefully, Iran.
But then you'll say "why don't they have better service!"

Blog Post: After a Link-Based Penalty is Removed, Will Your Traffic Increase?
Great post Marie!
I read it with baited breath, as we got penalised in September 2012 and have only just had our penalty revoked 21st Feb 2014 . We are at 8% of our previous natural search traffic and haven't seen any improvement at all since the penalty was lifted. It took an absolute age for us to clean up our backlink profile. We've gone from 100k links to around 1500 accross 500 domains. Our Ahrefs backlink graph looks great :)
Anyway - I was wondering whether you had any tips to improve our chances of recovery.

If you are looking for a fast financial solution and wish the funds immediately, for instance in case you are overdrawn in your banking account, than the financial option would be a fantastic option.
Indeed, a person can fall into a lot of traps if he is not careful when he is applying for such a loan. If you take a secured loan, the process may be a bit lengthier as it involves assessment of your property. If so, this may make it more expensive if you decide to pay it back in a shorter time than the repayment period.
You should look into your report occasionally, scrutinizing it for wrong entries and miscalculations. In fact, larger the down payment, lower will be the interest rate that you will have to pay. However he/she can obtain this kind of advance that ranges from 80 pounds to 1500 pounds.
So to help these individuals, the financial market has devised a new loan scheme in the form of payday cash loan. With employment rates mostly stagnating, foreclosures going up, student loan debt reaching one trillion dollars, and incomes going down, it's not getting any easier for most Americans to stay financially solvent in these trying times. Your credit report will show he dates the reports are made if you want to keep that big purchase off your credit report for another month. The final step would be to wait for cash to arrive to the account of the borrower. The biggest advantage of unsecured loans is the fact that they make it possible for anyone to borrow money; whether youre a tenant or a homeowner, you can borrow money without putting up any fastcashloans444.co.uk collateral. If yes, you may apply for payday loans no documents. Therefore, you must be assured of your capacity to pay off the amount well before even applying for the same.
There is always the need to prove that repayments can be afforded, but qualifying as a viable loan applicant is notable progress. If yes, then you must have not heard about a bad credit score money mortgage. You can get a short term cash advance loan, usually up to $1000 in 24 hours to 48 hours, depending on where you live. The loan amount can be used for meeting various small financial requirements like paying outstanding electricity bills, college or tuition fee, medical expenses, car repairs, grocery bills and computer maintenance cost. But ensure you pay it back in good time. There are numerous loan lenders of short term signature loans. This loan type is for those that are between pay periods.
This is the security of choice for lenders, who would prefer not to have to take possession of some item and then go to the bother of selling it to get cash. People with bad credit have to pay higher interest rates in the cases of other loans, but you need not to get worried about the interest rates in this case, as the interest rate is not too high to create any burden on you. These are only a few of the benefits of the business cash advance program. There is no need to stand in the queues with unnecessary documents. To add to that are unexpected situations that arises in the middle of the month leaving you baffled. Take quote and compare before making the final decision. Online approach will be the fastest and easiest way to get this loan.
As with all loans, it is a good idea to research the best lenders before making an approach, then inquire about a home equity loan with bad credit. Business loans need not always be long term. Unexpected medical treatment -Sudden car breakage -Small business expenses -Entertainment expenses -Paying child education fee -Grocery bills -Electricity bills etc. There are many people who need quick loans with no credit check.

Gov. Quinn and Mayor Emanuel have been hobnobbing with world leaders this weekend. But it's behind the scenes where the most important local work of this international meeting is underway.
They've both promised to use the NATO summit to help generate jobs and economic development.
Some local retailers and others are taking a financial hit this weekend. Disruptions related to the NATO summit caused some to close. Some who remained open report disappointing sales, including a restaurateur who joined FOX Chicago Sunday.
"I've noticed definitely a little decline in business," Lock Down Bar & Grill's Jason Slimack said. "But we do have a local following around the neighborhood."
But Slimack said he thinks the loss will be worth it in the long run, because the NATO summit is good for Chicago.
Such optimism won't be rewarded immediately. But luring Europe's top leaders here makes eminent economic sense.
The state's counted 723 companies based in Europe doing business in Illinois at 3,476 separate locations with 183,137 employees in Illinois.
At least 500,000 Illinois jobs depend directly on international trade, and it's growing fast, jumping some 17 percent in just the first three months of 2012.
Two of the area's top economic development officials said that for them, the weekend's most important work is being done at parties and receptions.
"We're going to be out meeting with business leaders, business people that are visiting here," Illinois State Director of Trade Adam Pollett said. "There are lots of private sector folks that are representing their countries. We're making sure they know this is a world-class place to do business."
"The mayor's doing the same thing, a whole series of meetings," World Business Chicago's Rita Athas said. "There's lots of card exchanges going on at all the receptions we're going to. We're getting the names of those business people."
They said they hope to schedule follow-up meetings as soon as possible.

White: 'Documentary was key in questioning conviction'
The former boyfriend of Rachel Manning has said that he would not be a free man now if a television documentary had not raised questions over his murder conviction.
Barri White was convicted of her murder in 2002, but five years later this was quashed by appeal judges and he was acquitted in 2008 after a re-trial.
The retrial came after the case was featured on a BBC Rough Justice documentary which raised questions about key scientific evidence in the first trial.

FLORENCE COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – Two of three burglary suspects are now facing charges after deputies caught them in the act and chased them until they were taken into custody.
The three male suspects were discovered by a Florence County Sheriff's Office deputy in a home at the intersection of Alligator Road and Twin Church Road around 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.
According to sheriff's office spokesman Michael Nunn, the burglary reported was still in progress and at least one of the men had a handgun. The three men fled the scene in a 2008 Hyundai Sonata with Texas tags and were pursued by deputies in a chase that proceeded onto Woods Lane.
The men then got out the car and ran as they were being chased by deputies and a canine unit.
Officers caught up with 28-year-old Gregory Timmons and 25-year-old Thomas Blake, both of Andrews, in the area of Penile Road and determined their getaway car was stolen.
Timmons has been charged with burglary and resisting arrest/assault on a law enforcement officer. Blake has been charged with failure to stop for a blue light, resisting arrest/assault on a law enforcement officer, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a stolen vehicle receiving stolen goods.
The initial deputy on scene was injured while apprehending one of the suspects and is receiving treatment at a local hospital. The deputy's injuries are not life threatening and a full recovery is expected, Captain Nunn adds.
The third suspect, 24-year-old James Scott of Andrews, remains at large. Scott is described as a black male and was wearing dark clothing at the time of the crime.
Any with information on Scott's whereabouts should be reported to Investigators with Florence County Sheriff's Office at 843-665-2121, ext. 438 or Crime Stoppers of the Pee Dee at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are likely.

Young volunteers from across the state are being nationally recognized and one Altamont volunteer was one of the top choices.
Paige Logan, a senior at Altamont High School, was named one of the top two youth volunteers in Illinois by the Prudential Community of Spirit Awards, a national program honoring middle school and high school students for outstanding volunteer service.
"My mom told me I got it and I am really, really, really excited," Logan said." I'm really honored to represent Illinois and the U.S."
Logan has been involved with national and state anti-bullying efforts, 4-H and the Student Advisory Committee for the Illinois School Board.
As a state honoree, Logan will receive $1,000, a silver medallion and an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C.
"We're going on a cruise on the Potomac," she said. "I've been to D.C., but it was always on business. I'm excited to go on the cruise and meet with other people that have the same interests."
Logan said as her time in high school comes to an end, others will see what she's done and be inspired to volunteer.
"I'm excited to see if someone takes the initiative," she said. "I want to inspire others to pursue their own goals and dreams."

I have just been diagosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia.?
I have just been diagosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. I also just had a baby 3 weeks ago. What are the chances that she that or a similar bleeding disorder?
I have not been exposed to any radiation. It actually came from a previous diagnosis, or perhaps a mis diagnosis (?) of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) a blood disorder that has some of the same symptoms and the potential to go into a form of leukemia if it is not treated or incorrectly treated.
CML is NOT hereditary; it is an acquired problem. Historically it was difficult to control long-term, as it transformed into acute leukemia (blast crisis). Currently, a new class of drugs (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) have transformed the treatment; most patients are placed into a molecular remission by one of these drugs, meaning that to the best of our ability we cannot detect evidence for the disease. Does it mean cure? Not sure yet, but maybe for some, or at least control of the disease for a long time(? for life, like high blood pressure- it is not cured, it is controlled).
Acai berries have shown no such benefit as quoted above. They may taste good (or maybe not), but please don't put your faith in only that.
DIC did not lead to or cause this; it is possible DIC could be caused by CML or its complications however. Given the way these drugs have transformed the care of CML patients, it is a time to be optimistic about future treatment and expectations.
God bless, best wishes (

What is the genotype of chronic myelogenous leukemia?
I need to know whether CML is a recessive or dominant, autosomal or sex-linked disease.
CML is due to an altered tyrosine kinase, bcr-abl, created by the fusion of parts of chromosomes 9 and 22. It is not inheritable, or at least no documented proof of inheritance. The damaged chromosomes are not present in the gametes or sex cells. Therefore, it is not dominant or recessive in the sense those terms are used. It does involve autosomal chromosomes, not the sex chromosomes, however.

Life expectancy for a 20 year old with chronic myeloid leukaemia?
How long would a 20 year old male (otherwise healthy) have to live if diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia and was opted to not get treatment?
advanced stage CML
Depends on how far advanced they are.
"Prior to the introduction of imatinib, CML was a life-threatening disease with a median life expectancy of around six to seven years, the only exception being the minority of patients who could receive a stem cell transplant. In most cases, it is now a chronic condition with good quality of life and it is expected that at least three out of four patients will be alive at ten years and overall survival may be even higher than this.Prior to imatinib, CML used to progress slowly during the chronic phase of the disease. This phase lasted four to six years on average and then underwent a transformation to a more rapidly progressing state. In about two-thirds of patients this change was to an accelerated phase, which lasted about three to nine months. This then proceeded to a final or blast phase. In some patients the disease proceeded directly from chronic phase to blast phase. The term "advanced phase" is sometimes used to describe both the accelerated phase and blast phase. There are two distinct types of blast phases defined by the types of blast cells present. In most patients the blast cells (immature white cells) resemble those seen in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) whereas in about a quarter of patients, the blast cells look more like those seen in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). This latter form of the disease is known as lymphoid blast crisis and tends to have a poorer response to treatment."
Re: Additional details:
It is not possible to say with any accuracy without knowing the patient's history and haematological picture. However, with treatment, their median duration of survival would normally be around 8 months. Without treatment considerably less. For factors affecting duration of survival, see this paper:

What are the symptones of chronic leukemia? Will feel very sick if i have it?
Does ppl with cancer feel sick? or they feel sick because of the treatment? is it cancer itself that cause the sickness?
You could feel sick - or you could feel absolutely nothing at all. Leukemia is a form of cancer; it has to do with the bone marrow and how it makes the cells that are in your blood. If you are truly concerned about this, see your doctor. It CAN be treated very successfully. (
+ info
can you have a baby if you have acute myeloid leukemia?
Will it be a high risk pregnancy or would the baby not be affected?
You mean pregnant with AML now? If so, then if less than 12 weeks, usually if patient does not terminate pregnancy there would be a very high risk of defects or more likely early spontaneous abortion due to toxicity of chemotherapy to fetus. If after 12 weeks, then chance for defects much lower if chemo given, but risk for complications remains higher than average (prematurity, low weight, miscarriage).
If you had AML previously, then your child overwhelmingly likely will be fine. There are very rare AML hereditary syndromes, but these are extremely rare. Biggest trouble can be just getting pregnant in the first place for patients.
God bless, best wishes (

How long can someone live with chronic myelgenous leukemia?
Will going on medicine stop the progression of this type of leukemia
Varies from patient to patient. Since 2002 > 80% patients on Imatinib are living free of disease and without progression. Also percentage of patients moving into progression is also decreasing with time. This is the picture as a whole. It is difficult to comment about an individual. If he/she has achieved CMR/ CCR ( no trace of BCR-ABL or Ph chromosome by RT-PCR or Karyotyping) there is > 80% chance that he will continue to be in remission for > 5 years and may be > 20 years!!! Some acquire newer mutations or chromsomal aberrations that lead to a drug refractory form of disease and the disease relapse. These patients may benefit from newer drugs( most in trial) or in worst case should consider matched unrelated donor stem cell transplantation if feasible. (

what is chronic myeloid leukaemia and thier medications?
where do you get chronic myeloid leukaemia from?
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a cancer of blood cells, characterized by replacement of the bone marrow with malignant, leukemic cells. Many of these leukemic cells can be found circulating in the blood and can cause enlargement of the spleen, liver, and other organs. CML is usually diagnosed by finding a specific chromosomal abnormality called the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome (see figure), named after the city where it was first recorded. The Ph chromosome is the result of a translocationor exchange of genetic materialbetween the long arms of chromosomes 9 and 22 . (

My daughter was just diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia?
How Do I cope with this, she was complaining about being sick, I feel like its my fault. She was complaining about not feeling good, then she was diagnosed. I know it's not my fault that she got this but, still. How do I cope?
You'll find your own routine. At first it's pure shock, Leukemia is the last thing from most parents minds, and its certainly the last thing you wanted to hear. If every parents first thought when their child was sick was "LEUKEMIA" the oncology departments would be in disarray.
When something like this happens, first instinct is to find someone to blame, often people blame the doctors or themselves for not spotting it sooner, usually, this couldn't be further from the truth.
Make sure you keep thinking positively, i'm not sure how old your daughter is, but i'd try not to keep things from her, kids with cancer spend a lot of time thinking about things, they end up far more mature for their age than they might have been otherwise.
I'll bet you and your family will be amazed at how much strength you'll give each other at this time, it's hard now, but keep fighting and you'll do it.
A few hours ago, 30 odd people stood in the playroom of this hospital corridor and sang, cheered and cried, because an 13 year old girl, who'd been fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia since she was 10 years old has been declared cancer free. And it happens all the time.
Kids are tough, i didn't think my daughter was strong enough to beat this, btu she's doing it. And i bet yours will too.
Best wishes, god bless. (

If I have Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia and its in recession, can I still get a tattoo?
I started a tattoo before I got diagnosed and I would like to get it finished.
You should be fine, as long as you are in *remission* and they use sterile technique. However you are assuming some risk of course by having someone stick you with a hypodermic needle, such as hepatitis, AIDs, other blood-borne communicable diseases. Risk is small but real.
Interestingly, prior studies have shown that the white blood cells which fight infection in patients with chronic-phase CML are rather hyperactive. (

You could hear a coin falling in the corridor.The stay I arrived, the lady at the check-in was very nice and extremely professional. Whereas the day I was leaving, the gentleman manning the check-out literally threw the bill to me. A little bit rude/unprofessional, without an envelop. And, I asked him in a subtle way where he was from. And, I got a hint of his behavior. I won't make any other comment.

Determined faces all around me scratch out their life plans as though they are writing the Code of Hammurabi. It is as though everyone has their lives set in stone, with the number of kids, the kind of dog, and the style of house they will have one day. I gaze at my paper and the blue parallel lines crisscross and swirl. No ideas even scratch the surface of my brain about what I will be when I grow up.
Alive, I want to be alive. There, that's a start. Satisfied that I have made some progress, I take a break and survey the room. I catch the words "lawyer" and "ever since I could walk." Now, I panic, I have no idea what I want to be. I'm going to be poor. My child will paint himself silver and "do the robot" to make money on the street corner. It was not always like this. At one time, I had an idea.
When I was little, I thought I wanted to work with animals. I told myself I wanted to be a veterinarian, and believed it. It also came in handy when I was the show pony as a child. Adults would always ask the same question and I had an answer. Why do adults casually mock anyone shorter than three feet tall by asking that question? I want to be an organized crime leader, okay? Now, hand over the pacifier. That would have wiped the smiles off their faces, though that option is looking better every day due to my indecision.
Now that I have realized that being a vet is not for me, I have to think of other options. I don't know what I want to be, but I have some ideas on what careers would not work. I couldn't be a dentist. Staring into kids' mouths with candy-corn teeth and the eternal screech of the drill like an elementary-school class watching "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is not my idea of a good living.
No day care, either, I'm all for low-blood sugar for little kids. I hear acupuncture brings in a lot of pretty, pretty money, but I'd hate to see what I would do to my clients on a bad day. I could probably land myself a job at a windowless Wal*Mart where the fluorescent lights glare and the linoleum shines. Working under burning lights for a fraction over minimum wage would transform my surroundings into Salvador Dali surrealism. If I were a weatherman, I'd have to bribe a ground hog, and I am not sure how to do that. I can't list all the other jobs that would collide with my personality, but I am pretty sure about what does not fit.
At this time, I don't think my calling in life is loud enough for me to hear. Maybe as my interests develop, it will grow louder. I am not completely clueless. Whether I'll be a journalist, a musician or a dolphin trainer, I know it is really important and cannot be decided in ten minutes for an English essay. And I am not worried either, I have time.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A biologist at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center has been awarded a nearly $600,000 grant for breast cancer research.
Wei-Qun Ding will receive the grant over three years from Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
He becomes the first Oklahoma scientist to receive a Komen research grant.
Ding researches how certain molecules, called metal ionophores, kill breast cancer cells.
Officials say they hope his research might be tested in 10 years.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
The actress cofounded the HollyRod Foundation with her husband, Rodney Peete, to aid families affected by Parkinson's disease and autism
Why she does it: I think people don't realize how much a disorder like autism or a disease like Parkinson's reverberates throughout a family—financially, emotionally, even physically. I never planned on advocating for so many people, but not everybody has the platform I do. I have a big mouth, I have exposure, and I have the ability to represent. Her secret to success: Raising money is not for sissies. You have to be creative when you approach people because everybody's hand is out and everybody has a great cause. If you're not willing to get a few bruises or black-and-blue knees from begging, then you're not a good philanthropist. The reward: I wish my dad didn't have Parkinson's, and I wish my son didn't have autism, but they have been my pathway to helping others. They led me to a life of service, for which I really am grateful. Maya Angelou said "giving liberates the soul," and it really does.

Albany - - Have a teenager who will hit the road soon? You and your child may want to take advantage of a free program to make sure both of you have a good handle on road rules.
Dougherty County Police are gearing up for their PRIDE program (Parents Reducing Incidents of Driver Error).
It's a free two and a half hour course. Officers say it helps parents understand requirements for their children to get a license and it helps young drivers stay safe.
"Dougherty County did a study of teens and crashes. And with this program being instituted they've dropped significantly, so it is successful," says Lt. Tom Jackson.
The class is held the first Wednesday of every month. For more information on how to sign up, you can call DCP at 229-430-6600. More information on the program is available here.

We can't have the MHH'ers cheering for the wrong teams in today's games. Here's a guide so you can get it right.
NYR at MON – The true Avs fan doesn't care about the Eastern Conference, except that they get way too much exposure, and don't have to travel very far for a game. Both teams are currently in the playoff chase (NYR – 7th, MON – 10th), not that that's any big deal points-wise. Both teams are on an extended streak of mediocrity with the Rangers going 5-3-2 in their last 10, and the Canadiens going 4-4-2. Go… Oh never mind.
NJD at NYI – A battle-royale on the Island. The Avs fan should watch this to see whether the over-hyped rookie John Tavares makes any advance on top rookie scorer and Calder Trophy favorite Matt Duchene. The result of the game is immaterial as long as Tavares stays off the score sheet. New Jersey is in second overall in the East and the Islanders are fighting for their playoff lives in the 9th spot, falling below the Boston Bruins based on more games played. A Devils shutout is the best result.
PHX at WSH – Yee-haw! Finally, a Game of Consequence™. Phoenix is sitting pretty in the playoff race in the West in 4th. Phoenix will be unimportant as long as the Avalanche stays at the top of the Northwest Division. Washington has some guy named Ov-something. Evidently he can shoot the puck, and does it a lot. Our old buddy Jose (The-Odor) Theodore plays in net from time to time and has actually been playing pretty well. Go Capitals!
TOR at FLA – Two Eastern Conference bottom feeders. Next. OK, maybe a bit harsh. Florida is 3 points from the 8th seed, and Toronto is 7 points from the top of the lottery, but since Boston owns the pick don't expect Toronto to intentionally tank. Use your remote. I think "Titanic" is on somewhere.
LAK at DET – If I need to tell you who to root for, you are not an Avalanche fan. I wouldn't care if LA was a point behind the Avs on the last day of the season in a battle for the last playoff spot… Crap, now I'm conflicted. I've nearly created a situation where I might be forced to back the Wings. Lucky for me it's January. Go Kings!
ATL at TBL – Another thrilling matchup of Eastern Conference pond silt. I'll speak nicely of Ilya Kovalchuk in hopes that he comes to the mountains over the summer and decides to never leave. He'll want to play here for league minimum for the next 15 years. Anybody got a tissue? I've soiled my drawers.
OTT at BOS – Game's already over. Boston is clinging to the last playoff spot in the East, but it wasn't enough motivation to get them past the Senators. 2-1 Ottawa, final.
CAR at PHI – This one is done too. Carolina is in free-fall in a race to the top/bottom slot in the lottery. They way they're losing, they'll probably lose the ping pong ball draw just out of habit. Edmonton is in hot pursuit, only a point ahead (or behind, English doesn't handle this situation well). I personally hate Philadelphia (the team, not the city), so it's hard to say the good guys won, but Edmonton will remain in their current relative position in the lottery sweepstakes. 4-2 Flyers. This is good for the Avs in the future.
ANA at STL – Since everyone but Edmonton is technically still in the playoff chase in the West, this game has significance. Not a ton, but some. Both teams have been on an upswing lately with the exception of their last games, which both lost. The Ducks are closer, and just seem like a more dangerous team. Go Blues (but no exclamation point, too hard to get excited here).
CBJ at MIN - Since everyone but Edmonton is technically still in the playoff chase in the West, this game has significance. I think I heard that somewhere before. Both teams seem to be struggling for identity. Both teams seem to be scoring OK, but can't stop the opposition. Both teams are destined for early tee times. Yawn!
CHI at VAN – YES! A Game of Consequence™. Chicago is kicking everyone's ass. Vancouver is really, really, really strong at home. Definitely the game of the night for Avalanche fans. Chicago is in front of the Avalanche in the standings, Vancouver is two points behind and in the Northwest Division. I probably don't have to tell you that Chicago is the correct team to support here. Go Hawks! NO 3 POINT GAME!
BUF at SJS – Number 3 in the East against number 1 in the West. Could be a fun game to watch if Buffalo wasn't so defensively oriented. Look for a clogged neutral zone every time the Sharks try to move. I really hate to do this, but we need to pull for the Sabres. The fewer points scored by Western teams (Avalanche excluded, of course) the better.

Ocilla--The Ocilla Fire Department has received a grant to improve how fast they respond to emergency calls.
The money will be used to provide the fire department with new communications systems, including pagers and hand-held radios.
The money comes from the Local Law Enforcement and Fire Services grant, and is worth about $11,000 dollars.
Chief Mark Taibi says they money will be used to replace the department's old equipment.
"Everything we had was outdated, and we weren't able to get the communications we needed through different departments. Now we'll be able to," he says.
Along with getting new equipment, the fire department will soon get a new building. Construction for the new fire department will begin sometime next year.

LOGANSPORT — A Logansport High School teacher was arrested Thursday on a charge of child seduction.
Kayla Skaggs, 24, Logansport, is a special needs teacher at the high school, according to the high school's website.
On Thursday, the Logansport Police Department in conjunction with the administration of the Logansport High School, conducted an investigation regarding allegations of inappropriate behavior between a female teacher and a 17-year-old male student.
Through the investigation, probable cause was established and Skaggs was arrested on a Class D felony charge of child seduction.
Logansport Community Schools Superintendent Michele Starkey said Thursday evening that Skaggs no longer works for the corporation.
"We fully will cooperate with the local authorities on this," Starkey said.
Skaggs was in her first year teaching at the corporation, Starkey said. School administrators first received a report regarding Skaggs late Thursday morning, she added, and school officials investigated and reported the situation to the police.
Starkey was not present at Skaggs' arrest but believes it was made at the Logansport police station, she said.
Skaggs was booked into the Cass County Jail at 2:19 p.m. Thursday. She bonded out later on a $1,000 cash bond, according to jail personnel.
Under Indiana Code, someone employed by a school corporation or in certain other positions of influence may be charged with child seduction if the victim is under 18 years of age.
The investigation continues.

Lucapa Diamond Company Ltd. (ASX:LOM) announced the recovery of a 95.45-carat, type 2A diamond from its Angola-based Lulo diamond concession. It is the second-largest diamond recovered from Lulo to date.
As quoted in the press release:
The 95.45 carat diamond is an exceptional stone. It has an irregular, roughly equant shape and measures 25x20x16mm. It was assessed using a Yehuda ZVI colorimeter and confirmed as a Type 2A, which are among the world's rarest category of diamonds.
The 95.45 carat diamond has not been cleaned and the appearance and clarity of the diamond is expected to be dramatically improved after iron staining has been removed.
Currently, the colour is classified as DE, which would normally make the diamond an "Exceptional White." However, the colorimeter also describes the stone as brown. Cleaning the diamond and re-testing it with the colorimeter should resolve the classification.

Michael Cheek fired home from inside the box then Ben Newson added a second.
The visitors managed to grab a share of the spoils, however, when they equalised on 60 minutes.

Councils 'vehemently opposed' to schools shake-up
The Welsh Local Government Association says councils should not lose control of schools. The WLGA has responded to the review announced by the Education Minister, Leighton Andrews, saying that although there are major issues, LEAs are functioning 'to an optimum level' to serve pupils' interests.
The WLGA is vehemently opposed to any proposal that suggests education should be taken out of local authority control. This will fundamentally damage the principle of local democratic control and accountability, and undermine the ability of local communities to shape the educational future of young people.
– Cllr Bob Wellington, Welsh Local Government Association
The WLGA is already working closely and positively with the Education Minister, who has met the 22 leaders on numerous occasions and only last week addressed the 22 Cabinet Members for Education across Wales. The Association has fully agreed with the major elements of the Ministers 20 action points and has indeed met many of its obligations including the delegation of 80% funding to schools, the banding of schools and the establishment of four School Improvement Consortia.
