MONTREAL - The Ottawa Senators are moving on to the second round of NHL playoffs.
Craig Anderson made 33 saves and Cory Conacher scored twice on a shaky Peter Budaj as the Senators downed the Montreal Canadiens 6-1 on Thursday night.
Ottawa won the best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final 4-1 and will move on to the second round for the first time since 2007, when they reached the Stanley Cup final only to fall to the Anaheim Ducks.
The victory gives Ottawa time to rest up and heal bruises before the conference semifinals begin next week.

Is a Whole Foods coming to Olympia, Washington? I want to know! Do you know? I am hearing a RUMOR that Whole Foods is coming to West Olympia, Washington – in the same shopping complex as Staples and World Market. I cannot find any information online about it – it truly is a rumor! I sent them a Tweet, but I doubt they'd spill the beans to me.
I am hoping this rumor is true. Do any of you know the inside scoop? I would be so giddy if we had a local Whole Foods – the closest Whole Foods is Seattle, Washington. IF we get a Whole Foods, I think I could do match-ups for them (gasp!) and they have some great deals.
Do you have a Whole Foods in your neck of the woods? What are your favorite deals to get at Whole Foods?
p.s. As I stated above, I can't confirm this. It's truly grocery store gossip. Don't hold your breath or blame me if it's not accurate. But I'm hoping it is!

Negative: 1 out of 42
A movie handled with this kind of care is a rare gift. Refusing to hide from pain or bow to it, 50/50 makes its own rules. It'll get to you.
The result is a duet of outstanding loveliness between Kendrick and Gordon-Levitt, also an actor of nuanced control.
The filmmakers do everything they can to balance levity and leavening. The subject says "drama," and the three supporting women deliver well-shaded, understated performances. (Howard shows us how weakness can be just as destructive as malice.)
As a comedy about a young man with cancer, it needs to be serious enough to be real as well as light enough to be funny. Though it falls off the wagon at times, it maintains its balance remarkably well.
Kendrick gives a truly bad performance here - she's a self-conscious actress playing a self-conscious person and getting her signals all mixed up - and it's unclear whether she has been hung out to dry by her director or if it's just that the character makes no sense whatsoever.
Artificial, irresponsible, filthy and forgettable, it knocks itself cross-eyed trying to make you roar with laughter at chemotherapy, with the nauseating Seth Rogen milking most of the yuks. But a stoner comedy about cancer? I don't think so.

Oct 2, 2011I loved this film. It's been awhile since I gave a movie a 10 but I was cast into this movie's spell. I cared about all the characters, even though the Rogen character was a little close to being over the top. Levitt is absolutely perfect as the cancer stricken person holding all his emotions in, until he finally explodes the night before his surgery. I haven't cried at a movie in years but definitely teared up at this one. I'm glad the time of the year has arrived when the good movies are shown. Highly recommended.

Oct 2, 2011This was a very good film. Joseph Gordon Levitt is such a solid young actor and this was a wonderful performance. I thought the film was real, deep, funny and touching. My only complaint was the ridiculous and stereotypical portrayals of the physicians and the therapist. It was surprising given that the film was written by someone who went through this, but it came off as making that whole part of the film seem written for a screenplay and an audience reaction instead of being real. However, I would still recommend this film.… Expand

Feb 11, 2012Walking a tightrope of polar extremes between gravity and levity, perhaps "50/50's" most exemplary trait is its dexterity and finesse with which it juggles such diversity; an amalgamation that's subject matter is treated with both careful caution and insouciant jocose. The film is home to a vividly rich script, thanks to Will Reiser's real-world insight and vision, prim pacing and balance, as well as arguably the most realistic, heart-rending emotional sequences to ever grace a theater screen yet. Gordon-Levitt shines as the undemonstrative, reserved man of fledglingly unfortunate news, who, through his battle and journey, takes us the viewer with him; both painful symptoms and quiet triumphs are experienced through him unto "us." Further, Rogen's burbly demeanor is an effective bolster and change of pace to the uncompromisingly elegiac tone. Overall, the film is timely; funny when levity is called, and moving when sadness exists. "50/50" proves humour can be wrung from critical subjects, providing it's done with sufficient thoughtfulness, tact, and wit.… Expand

Mavs Assigned Randy McNaught From Connecticut (AHL)
New York Rangers prospect joins Mavs roster
INDEPENDENCE, Missouri – The Missouri Mavericks announced Friday morning forward Randy McNaught has been assigned to their roster from the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League (AHL). McNaught, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound forward from Nanaimo, British Columbia was the seventh round pick (190th overall) of the New York Rangers in the 2010 National Hockey League (NHL) Entry Draft.
"We are excited to add Randy's presence to the team at this crucial and busy time in our schedule," said Mavericks' Head Coach Scott Hillman. "The Rangers are anxious to see their young prospect develop and we feel very fortunate and privileged that they entrusted us to work with him."
This season, McNaught has played in five games, one with the Whale and four with the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL. McNaught spent five seasons playing Junior-A hockey in the Western Hockey League (WHL) for the Chilliwack Bruins (three seasons), Saskatoon Blades (one season) and Vancouver Giants (one season), prior to being drafted by the Rangers. In his five seasons in the WHL, the 21-year-old scored 15 goals and recorded 12 assists for 27 points, while amassing 321 penalty minutes in 154 games.
The Mavericks are in town for two games this weekend at Independence Events Center. Friday night, the Mavs wrap up their season series with the Arizona Sundogs before taking on the rival Wichita Thunder on Saturday night. Tickets are available at the Independence Events Center Box Office, by calling (800) 745-3000 or visiting www.TicketMaster.com.

It had for centuries been a wholly closed society. Extravagantly depraved and despairing, rejecting morality, politics, patriotism and even social intercourse with the outside world. The Thieve's World…Vorovskoy Mir…this is the name given to the direct predecessor of the Russian mafia.
Born in a time when all property was owned in theory, by the Tsar, felonies were not only crimes, they were attacks on the state. Organized crime in Tsarist Russian developed into a highly ritualized secret society. A society complete with it's own complicated customs and traditions, strict rules and codes of honor. Members distinguished themselves from one another using an elaborate series of tattoos. These told the story of where the man had been and what he had accomplished. One rule above all others ruled The Thieves' World: Never sell out to the state.
The extermination of Vorovskoy Mir was of primary importance to Vladimir Lenin upon his ascension to power through the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. They were too powerful, too anti authoritarian, and they needed to be eliminated. Members were hunted ruthlessly and tirelessly during the early years of the Soviet Union. By the 1930′s the whole of the culture, what was left of it, had been shifted to the infamous Soviet gulag.
Within the walls of the prison camps the tradition of the tattoo came even more to the fore. Created through the use of melted rubber to color the skin, these tattoos reached a whole new level of ornate design. They would detail a man's life story: his level and rank within the prison and the criminal world, where he had done time, what crimes he had committed. The location and design of a specific tattoo were recognized as sending a specific message to those who would observe them.
The Thieves World could very well have died within Stalin's prison camps, yet history intervened. The German invasion and World War 2 would set off a chain of events that would transform Vorovskoy Mir into the most powerful and ruthless criminal organization on Earth: The Red Mafiya.
The Soviets lost 20 million people to the Germans during World War 2. Facing huge manpower shortages Stalin offered those languishing in the gulags a deal: fight for the Motherland and they would gain their freedom. This experience allowed the members of the Thieves World to gain knowledge in the use of arms and see the impact of an organized effort toward a particular goal. Military experience provided the training needed to create a more organized system for these ex-prisoners when the war would come to an end. In many cases near the end of the war weapons and valuables were collected for use in the future.
Come the end of the war the prisoners did not gain their freedom however. They were returned the gulags from whence they came. This set the stage for the second conflict that would shape that which would become the Red Mafiya. From 1945 to Stalin's death a civil war, and a series of brutal killing sprees raged in the prisons between those who had fought for the Soviets and those who refused to take the deal and were left behind; the Bitch Wars. Inmates who had refused to serve in the military believed that the ones who did serve, called "bitches" by the inmates, had broken the most sacred rule of the culture; they had sold out to the state.
Each faction attempted to destroy the other and control in the camp and prison systems swung to one faction to the other over time. While the two factions fought with each other, both factions could not help but also learn from each other. Each side did have in common distrust and rejection toward the powers of the Soviets and this bound over time to bring an end to the constant warfare and created a new and better-organized movement.
Stalin's death brought wide release from the prison camps and a return to greater Soviet society. he new organization quickly reassembled itself in the new a more liberal society and began to form opportunities to expand its operations. The stash of weapons gained through the war and the cooperation formed through the prison wars had developed an organized that was much more organized and specific goal oriented that the organizations that had existed prior to WWII. Even more important the new efforts of the Soviet government to create a more liberal society, as a reaction the years of autocratic Stalinist rule, provided opportunities of expansion for the new organized crime movements. With the attempts to lessen complete government control, room was provided to the crime organizations to flourish taking advantage of the rationing and call for sacrifice during the war that was being replaced for a call for more consumer goods and expansion of business opportunities. These new crime organizations were more than willing to provide what was needed to meet post-war needs and demands. A bond of corruption created links between the organizations of crime and the membership of the Communist Party. Links that would in the future allow the "Russian Mafia" to rise to a level that placed it in many cases on the par of Party control. This new situation was shifting power to the crime organizations, that could cut through the miles of government red tape in the providing of services and goods.
By the 1960s, a vibrant black market was operating in the Soviet Union, with the gangsters acting as unofficial middlemen, circulating privately produced goods or state materials with the tacit cooperation of the factory managers and civil servants. As profits grew, elements within the Vorovskoi Mir began to work more closely with the government officials in their regions. By the time perestroika began in the 1980′s, the line between the Vorovskoi mMir and the Soviet government was difficult to distinguish. Both groups had amassed fortunes through the black market and corruption. In fact, Soviet prosecutors first used the word mafiya to describe corrupt Soviet bureaucrats.

As the Soviet government fell in the early 1990′s, it was this group that had the will, knowledge and strength to grab the power, ushering in the age of the oligarch. The unusual coalition of professional criminals, former members of the underground economy, members of the former Party elite, and the police formed a group that transcends traditional conceptions of organized crime groups. It has created a political and economic power of a criminal class more powerful and advanced than anything Russia has ever experienced before. Here was an organization that bound the power of the government and the gangs, operating with resources and global reach previously reserved only for the nation state.

Syracuse Crunch
Crunch Score Early, Often In 5-1 Win Over BulldogsSubmitted by jghoughtaling on December 8, 2012 - 00:25
Initially thought to have sustained a cracked sternum, Brett Connolly found out earlier this week that it was just a contusion.
While the injury made it hurt for him to breathe this week, the Syracuse Crunch forward was determined to play against the Hamilton Bulldogs at the Onondaga County War Memorial Friday.
"Right now, it's just pain tolerance," Connolly said. "It's going to take a lot to keep me out of the lineup."
Connolly played through the pain, registering a pair of points - including a 5-on-3 power play goal seven minutes into the game that stood up as the game-winner - as the Crunch beat the Bulldogs, 5-1.

Brett Connolly, Ondrej Palat, and Alex Killorn were the three stars of the game.
Don't look now, but Palat has snuck past teammate Dmitri Korobov into the top spot in the league in +/- at +17. Tyler Johnson, who still leads the league in goal scoring, is lingering in a tie for third in the league at +14.Richard Panik and Radko Gudas are also in the top-20 in the league in the statistic.
Syracuse gave some rough treatment to former Lightning farmhand Cedrick Desjardins, running up a 42-20 shot advantage en route to pinning 5 goals on him. When you score 26 seconds into a game and swarm to a 3-0 lead within the first 14 minutes, it's safe to say you were ready to go at puck drop.
Keith Aulie (pictured) was back in the lineup for Syracuse for the first time since late October. The big d-man was +2 with 3 shots on goal.
Syracuse will move on to face Adirondack tomorrow night.

Richard Panik had his scoring streak snapped at a dozen games. Time to start a new one.
Syracuse was outshot 19-3 in the final frame, which might be indicative of fatigue setting in with the team playing 3 in 3 nights for the 3rd straight weekend. They'll do it again starting Friday, too, which I find interesting considering the complaint made about the Norfolk affiliation was regarding long, fatiguing road trips costing practice time. How about long, fatiguing weekends and constantly playing 3 in 3 night sets? The good news is that there are only 3 more of those sets after this coming weekend, and the next one is in February, so things will at least begin to settle down into more 3 in 4 night scenarios.

SYR Barberio, (4) (Conacher), 4:13
Mark Barberio and Richard Panik (pictured) were the game's first and second stars. The Panik attack's two goals continued his scoring streak, which now stands at a dozen games. His 11 goals now break him into the top-10 in the AHL in goal scoring. Look out. Before the season Panik would've been a longshot to make the Lightning's NHL roster. He's now worked himself toward the head of the line among the young players in Syracuse for whenever the lockout finally ends, and his versatility and high ceiling will be tantalizing for Steve Yzerman and Guy Boucher when they consider how to fill out the team.
Well over 90% of the time in professional hockey, when a team builds a 3-goal lead in the third period, it's over. On the rare ocassion that a team manages to overcome that deficit, it can be a huge team-building moment for the winning team, and a crippling emotional blow for the loser. And, the effects of the game can linger for a week or two. So, for the Crunch, mark the calendar. Tonight was a big moment in 2012-2013 season.
For the moment, the team sits in first place in the Eastern Conference. They'll conclude the weekend in Binghamton tomorrow against the Senators' outstanding goaltending corps.

Korobov a Pleasant Surprise for Cooper, CrunchSubmitted by jghoughtaling on December 1, 2012 - 12:54
When Syracuse Crunch coach Jon Cooper looked at his defense at the beginning of the season, he saw seven players and a question mark.
Dmitry Korobov, set to play his first season in North America, was up against more than smaller ice surfaces and more physical play. The Belarusian had to deal with a language barrier, and due to the ongoing lockout, NHL-level competition – not only from the opposition, but to crack the Crunch lineup.
"We didn't know what Dmitry was, and when we're fully healthy with the eight guys, I don't know if you can sit here and say who's one through eight," Cooper said. "We have a bunch of ones in their own way."

By Cade Fowler - bio | email Leesburg, GA (WALB) – Construction hasn't even started on a new library and conference center in Lee County and the project is already way over budget.
The news comes at a time when money is hard to come by. The construction bid on the project was initially $139 per square foot.
The latest figures show the cost $30 more per square foot with more square footage added on.
Commissioners questioned representatives Tuesday night from SRJ Architects about the difference which they say will cost the county an extra $1.75 million.
"The board of commissioners is going to have to meet and decide which way we're going to go. We may have to re-bid it, we may have to cut down it's size. But we're going to have to do something because we can't turn that $2 million back to the state," said Commission Chairman Ed Duffy.
The state is giving $ 2million for the project.
The county planned to use $ 2million in sales tax revenue, but the current estimated cost is nearly $6.3-million.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary, but to be taken in doses.,
This review is from: The Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett: All That Fall, Act Without Words, Krapp's Last Tape, Cascando, Eh Joe, Footfall, Rockaby and others (Paperback)
Some advice: although this book contains some of the most astonishing plays ever written, I wouldn't read them all in one go. If you do, doubts might seem to creep in. About how Beckett doesn't really have all that much to say, and became increasingly mannered in his attempts to say it. That his work is really just three variations on basic forms - the Godotesque double act; the old man or woman looking back over a (generally stunted) life; and the pattern plays/mimes. You'll certainly want to rush and read something silly just for a breath of air; there's not much of the vaunted Beckett humour here.
Nevertheless, the collection brims with Beckett's best work - the remorselessly inventive radio play, 'All That Fall'; the sublimely tragic comedy, 'Krapp's Last Tape'; the infernal farce, 'Play'; the deconstruction of nostalgia, 'That Time'; the chamber poignancy of 'Ohio Impromptu'; the great theatrical experiments, 'Footfalls', 'What Where', 'Not I', 'Rockaby', which pushed the language of theatre way past its limits, undermining its boasts of 'live performance' and the functionality of language - in these texts, 'meaning', if there is such a thing, may reside in the stage directions.

This review is from: The Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett: All That Fall, Act Without Words, Krapp's Last Tape, Cascando, Eh Joe, Footfall, Rockaby and others (Paperback)
Many of the plays in this collection move me greatly-the vision lost in "Krapp's Last Tape", the past's deafening roar(or, dying flame) in "Embers", examinations of self-awareness,memory, and one's ability to express these in "Not I", "That Time" & "A Piece of Monologue", the sadly charming lost Ireland of "All That Fall", the image of a reader literally staring an image of himself in the face while reading a memoir-like first person narative in "Ohio Impromtu". This book contains Beckett's works for theatre, radio, television, film, mimes, which may explain it's seeming unstageability to other readers. Beckett viewed his dramatic works as his break from the serious writing of his prose early in his career("Waiting for Godot" was written as a break between Molloy & Malone Dies), but as he moved on toward silence, Beckett's theatre became the medium in which he achiveed his greatest acclaim & fame. The late dramas of "That Time" & "A Piece of Monologue" anticipate the self-searching confessional style & subject of the Nohow On 'novels', and present investigations of memory, responsibility, self-identity, and expressionability that are moving and profound, as well as being intimate portraits of the individual alone. All of the plays in this collection are powerful documents of intimate moments that question not only what we call theatre but also question how we understand, experience, question & represent our "self"s, our pasts...our "moments". I can think of no other writer who portrays true moments of aloneness, moments of unself-representing(even as these are represented as farcical) so honestly. Depressing? No, these plays are life affirming, in all its breathes and cries, its cycles of memorializing and willful forgetting, its fabrications and its confessional, the blinding light and frightening countenance of the other's gaze, the silence of another's absence. Intimate moments are diverse, and they are represented here without a flinch in all their breadth. No symbols where none intended, Beckett said elsewhere, but are there not other means for expressive art than symbols? "There was a time when I asked myself, What is it./There were times I answered, It's the outing./ Two outings./ Then the return./ Where?/ To the village./ To the inn./ Two outings, then at last the return, to the village, to the inn, by the only road that leads there./ An image, like any other./ But I don't answer any more./ I open"(Cascando). Herein, the opening that constitutes a search for other roads to there.

This review is from: The Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett: All That Fall, Act Without Words, Krapp's Last Tape, Cascando, Eh Joe, Footfall, Rockaby and others (Paperback)
Beckett's shorter may shock a new reader to Beckett's works. If you are looking for something that tells an interesting story, you will not enjoy his plays. I can understand why previous reviewers feel that that there is not content in his plays. But the intention of much of his works is to provide meaning through the emptiness. Beckett is a truly great minimalist writer: some of the plays in this volume lack even speech, relying soley on stage directions. The empty, cyclic nature of human life is central to his world view. Beckett makes his readers linger on questions long after they finish reading. His writing is marked by brevity, but is nevertheless succinct.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beckett at his best,
This review is from: The Collected Shorter Plays of Samuel Beckett: All That Fall, Act Without Words, Krapp's Last Tape, Cascando, Eh Joe, Footfall, Rockaby and others (Paperback)
Beckett gives you a lot in a few lines. His shorter plays are the work of a genius. Poignant as usual and more concise than ever he gives you a lot to think about. I LOVE Not I, Come and Go and many others. The line "f*** life" in Rockaby stands for a lot, really: pity us poor human beings! We ARE doomed.

February 22, 2007Albany -- An East Albany five month old is saved from a burning house by two people who stopped to help.
The two Good Samaritans say they never thought about the danger to themselves. The house on Cordele Road caught on fire about 7:25 Thursday morning.
Two people from Worth County driving to work saw the flames. Both people said they never thought about just keep going. They stopped to see if anyone needed help, and now their friends are calling them heroes.
Karen Hill said her house went up in flames quickly. "The fire started with a candle somewhere in the front of the house, and we woke up to it."
Lawrence Fletcher of Worth County was driving by and saw the flames in the window. He was late for work because he had forgot his cell phone and returned home to get it, making him about 15 minutes late.
"Probably if I had not left my cell phone I would have been by the house before the flames got large enough for me to notice," Fletcher said.
Tammy Evans of Worth County was also driving by when she saw the flames, and called 911. "There was a lady run out of the house screaming, and I just U-turned in the middle of 300 in all the traffic, and went back to help without thinking."
Hill's five month old daughter, Nora Grace, was still in the middle room.
"I was trying to get through the door, but the smoke inhalation, I couldn't get to her," Hill said.
Hill pointed out the room the baby was in, as the flames grew worse. "They were wrapping the house. They were coming up and lapping over the back porch roof and through the front door and the windows," Evans said.
Fletcher and Evans broke the bedroom window where the five month old was, and Fletcher crawled into the burning house. "I had no choice," he said. "I did not want to go. Honestly was not going to go until I heard the baby cry. Then I had no choice."
"He went in and the smoke just started boiling out there then," Evans said.
The smoke was too thick for Fletcher to see, but he went in. "I was just glad the baby was able to cry, so I could find it by the sound, and was able to get the baby and hand it back out the window."
"When he reached the baby out, she was perfect, no marks on her, no smut, no nothing. Just perfect," Evans said.
The house was gutted by the flames quickly. One man inside the home suffered smoke inhalation and cuts diving out a window, and was taken to the hospital. Fletcher and Evans went on to work, and their co-workers hailed them heroes.
"No, I wouldn't say that. I was just in the right place at the right time," Fletcher said.
"She couldn't get back in the house, so somebody had to help her. And it just happened to be me," said Evans.
Firefighters have not released the name of the man who escaped the burning house.
Karen Hill and Nora Grace have been placed in an Albany motel by the Red Cross, and their home a complete loss. But they are together, thanks to two people who did not just drive by and ignore the fire. They stopped and saved a life.

We need a drummer, and a bassist. We want to be the next biggest thing, so we need someone serious, who thinks of music as a passion they're willing to devote themselves to.
We need a drummer who can use double bass proficiently. Don't have to be the best, but being able to blast pedal would be a huge plus. If not able to do it though, don't be afraid to give us a call.
Bass for our songs is realy nothing complex. We basicly play in drop C, so as long as you can keep a tempo, you're awesome. Bam, qualified.

So I just stumbled across this article about Jorge Cantu and his bounce-back campaign in 2011. I like Cantu and I like the acquisition, assuming that he can be the insurance, and/or RBI machine we need. If the NL is about bench and bullpen he's the kind of bench you want...right? Well that's when reading this story got me a little concerned.
"You're expecting to play and all of a sudden you're not playing," Cantu said. "That left a little sour taste."
I expect Cantu to be a professional and accept his role as a veteran on the bench who will get plenty of playing time. My concern is that he will tire of it down the stretch. I know I'm no authority on the psyche of a pro but I remember what it felt like to go from a starter to bench player in high school ball. Once you see someone else struggle, you expect to get back in there. When you don't get back in, you start to resent your coaches for not recognizing your ability. Cantu knows he's good and he knows the way he can produce.
"As long as I get those at bats, that's the most important part. I've been an RBI man for the past three years and don't have any plans to back off or stop it."
That just doesn't sound like a guy who is ready to take a back seat. That could be a good thing, maybe he takes ownership of the offense and becomes a pivotal leader, a la Jerry Hairston Jr....only, there's also the chance that it doesn't work out that way. After all, Hairston only got that opportunity due to injuries. And, although they're likely to happen, he can't just be hoping for them.
Now with the Padres, Cantu is ready to get at bats wherever manager Bud Black plays him. He is expected to see playing time at first, second and third base.
If Cantu has any sort of success this year in his role off the bench but guys like Aaron Cunningham or Eric Patterson do too, I figure him to be the odd man out come the trading deadline. He will be the chip that gets us whatever piece we need to make our run.

|Fort Jennings band director Warnecke to retire
|Wednesday, November 20, 2013 9:05 PM
Staff Writer
FORT JENNINGS — Board members accepted the upcoming retirement/resignation of the school's Band Director, Rose Mary Warnecke, during the board meeting Wednesday night. Warnecke will continue through the 2014/15 school year under the Victory Lap Clause and her rehire date will take place at the regular board meeting on March 19, 2014.
High School Principal Nicholas Langhals said the school was very lucky to have Mrs. Warnecke back for one more year.
"The band had a successful trip (Disney) and there have been a lot of good comments," Langhals added. "Mrs. Warnecke and the band members did a fine job representing the school."
Langhals reported on Race to the Top and said they just completed a meeting with the area representative, Nancy Allison, and completed a survey meeting all goals and expectations.
"Everything is on schedule," Langhals affirmed. "There have been talks of a fifth year to finish up things on a state level and no information about money for the district."
Board members approved Todd Hoehn as Putnam County League (PCL) basketball tournament manager and Rob Warnecke as the assistant tournament manager for the games which will be hosted by Fort Jennings High School.
Members also approved the five-year forecast as submitted.
"We make best-guess estimates and predictions we can," Langhals stated.
Board members approved the return of the advance of $185.60 back to the General Fund from the Title II-A Fund.
In addition, members approved amending estimated receipts/appropriations where the receipts were greater than anticipated revenues, less than anticipated revenues, or not included in the original budget.
The next school board meeting will be held in the library at 7:30 p.m. on Dec.18.

The Future Of CSS Typography
For those of you who don't skim Smashing Magazine every day or who missed out on this article, a Portuguese designer named Inayaili de Leon has written a terrific article on CSS typography, both now and when CSS3 becomes more widespread and codified. It's almost a one-stop shop for the ins and outs of using fonts and typography in your designs. (No, I'm not dating the author or anything but when I find a resource worth citing, I just up and cite it.) So, a big fat FYI for everybody.

That's actually a really great article! Thanks for sharing. Now, because I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none I had no idea that there was actually a hierarchy to properties within CSS.
Instead of specifying each property separately, you can do it all in one go using the font shorthand property. The order of the properties should be as follows: font-style, font-variant, font-weight, font-size, line-height, font-family.TAKE A WALK OUTSIDE YOUR MIND.

Yeah, that order has bitten me in the backside a number of times. Especially the order of the background-position coordinates - it confuses me because it's horizontal followed by vertical, but with margin and padding it's vertical first.
If you break them up into the individual properties then it doesn't matter what order they're in, they're completely separate. Only in the shorthand does it matter. It's useful to do things like this:
Code css:
h2 { background:blue url('ocean.png') left top no-repeat; } .left h2 { background-color:green; /* overwrite bg colour only, image stays */ }
Thanks for sharing, Max. Once again I feel reminded of the importance of whitespace.
Mar 1, 2010, 18:24 #4
I didn't know about the hierarchy either. I'm going to print that out and stick it on my wall (or at least in my little notebook of printed goodies).
Jeff, congratulations on the MOTM hardware. Looks good on ya.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Gerald Henderson hit a 3-pointer from 25 feet with 4.6 seconds left to lift the Charlotte Bobcats to a 102-101 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night, snapping a 16-game home losing streak.
The Bobcats streak was stopped two short of the NBA record held by the 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks.
Kemba Walker led Charlotte with 25 points and Ramon Sessions finished with 23 as the Bobcats won at home for the first time since Nov. 21.
Luke Ridnour had 22 points, seven rebounds and seven assists to lead Minnesota, which has lost nine of 10.
Trailing by two, the Bobcats were struggling to get a shot off before the 24-second shot clock expired. A scramble ensued as the ball was knocked into the backcourt late in the possession.
Walker retrieved the ball and passed it ahead to Henderson on the left wing. He pump-faked to avoid a leaping Andrei Kirilenko and swished the 3-pointer.

News: Waka Flocka Flame Discovers His Production Guru, "He's My Dre & I'm His Snoop Dogg"
Sunday, Aug 8, 2010 9:14AM
Waka Flocka Flame recently announced plans to put together his Tupac Shakur-inspired Flockaveili debut album and revealed his discovery of the producer he calls the new Dr. Dre.
For the project, Waka linked with Rick Ross' "B.M.F." producer, Lex Luger, to provide over 10 cuts.
"Flockaveli is the name of my album," Waka revealed in an interview. "I was definitely inspired by Pac a while lot growing up, so people are definitely going to get to know me on a personal level...Out of the 15 or 16 songs that are going to make the album, Lex Luger probably did 12 of them. That's my Dr. Dre... and I'm his Snoop [Dogg] [Laughs]. He's the new sound of Hip-Hop. You ask anyone who needs a hit and Lex will come up in their conversation, guaranteed..." (VIBE)
Lex Luger recently talked about befriending a slew of rap stars off the success of his Rick Ross beat, "B.M.F."
"Spiff of Spliff TV reached out to me for the 'Hard In The Paint' instrumental because Ross wanted that," Lex explained in an interview. "People were bumping 'Hard In The Paint' in a car and he was like, 'What song is that?' This is before 'Hard In The Paint' even blew up...He found me on MySpace and Twitter and hit me like, 'I need some of this music.' And I told him, 'I got it, but I got other stuff that's way better.' I was sending Spiff 30 beats a day for seven days. I sent him a gang of beats and out of those beats was 'B.M.F.' and 'MC Hammer' -- [Because of that beat] the biggest names in the game want to set up studio time. Everybody came out the woodwork. I just came back from Miami being in the studio with Ross. I got songs with Soulja Boy, Tity Boi, Diamond. Diddy reached out. Pusha T." (Complex)
Earlier this year, Waka made headlines after being shot in Georgia.
Waka Flocka Flame, who has a recent mixtape entitled "Salute Me or Shoot Me, Vol. 2," was shot in the arm at the Bubble Bath Car Wash on Old National Highway in January. The shooting occurred after a scuffle broke out when an armed man approached him demanding jewelry, police said at the time. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
Waka later addressed the shooting and offered a break-down of what happened.
"I'm like, 'I can't believe I'm shot,' " he said, explaining the aftermath. "I felt it in my arm but I looked down and felt it in my chest, my back, everything. It felt like stop, drop and roll. I'm leaking, my arm squirting. I said, 'Call an ambulance.' I felt mybody getting woozy. I laid down on a flat surface. That messed me up because that ain't do nothing but put air inside my lungs and blood. I ain't panic. I was like, 'F--- it, I'mma give up. This sh-- hurt so bad. I'm gonna give up.' " (MTV)
Check out some recent Waka Flocka Flame footage below:

The last time that Pedro Martinez threw a pitch in Major League Baseball was November 4, 2009. He started for the Philadelphia Phillies, in Game 6 of the World Series against the New York Yankees. Martinez and the Phillies lost, and the Yankees celebrated their latest championship on their own home turf.
Martinez hasn't been seen since. But now he's back in the news. Not because he's going to attempt a comeback, like Manny Ramirez - rather, because he's announced his official retirement. Or, because he's announced that he'll announce his official retirement. It's just a matter of time now before Martinez formally signs the papers.
This doesn't really mean much, in baseball terms - though there was the occasional whisper, no one was counting on Martinez making a return. But what this does is give us an excuse to reflect on his incredible and colorful career. Pedro Martinez was one of a kind, in so many ways, and there are worse ways to occupy the mind.
What follows is not a Pedro Martinez career retrospective. I don't think I could write a Pedro Martinez career retrospective without first securing a book deal. There are a lot of things to say about Pedro Martinez that I am not going to say. Instead, what follows is a completely insufficient Pedro Martinez career retrospective, as noted in the headline. All this really is is me highlighting five numbers and talking about them a little bit.
I promise that they are at least interesting numbers, so please join me. Although I will understand if you do not.
I think it's safe to say that Pedro really hit his career peak in 1997, and then he kept it up through 2003. He was a good pitcher before that, and he was a good pitcher after that, but he was something else entirely over those seven years with Montreal and Boston. Those seven years roughly coincided with baseball's offensive explosion, and yet over that span, Pedro posted a 2.20 ERA. Baseball's next-best ERA over the same span belonged to Randy Johnson, at 2.70 - a full 0.50 points higher.
It's unthinkable how much Pedro managed to do, especially in the American League, starting so many games in Fenway. On July 18, 1999, Pedro allowed nine runs to the Marlins. In no other start that season did he allow more than four runs, and he allowed four runs only once. On April 12, 2003, Pedro allowed ten runs to the Orioles. In no other start that season did he allow more than five runs.
Greg Maddux went on a run of absolute silliness between 1992-1998. Over those seven years, Maddux posted a 2.15 ERA, good for a 191 ERA+. Pedro's ERA+ at his peak was 213. The best single-season ERA+ Sandy Koufax ever posted was 190. Pedro posted a better ERA+ over seven seasons.
This point is actually less about celebrating Pedro, and more about driving home a statistical principle. I'm sorry. It's the only one. In 1999, Pedro started 29 games for the Red Sox. He walked 37, he struck out 313, and he finished with a 2.07 ERA. Each of the last two numbers led the league. Pedro was dominant, unhittable, peerless. That season he also allowed a .325 batting average on balls in play. He allowed a higher BABIP than guys like Brian Bohanon, Scott Karl and Gil Heredia. Yes, pitchers have some degree of influence over their BABIPs. This is evidence enough to suggest that they do not have very much.
If you'll indulge me, I'm the Mariners guy, so I had to include a Mariners fact in here somewhere. Pedro had more success against the Mariners than he did against any other regular opponent over the course of his career. Over 103 innings, he posted a 1.57 ERA, and didn't allow a single unearned run. More improbably, Pedro earned the win in each of his first 13 appearances against Seattle - 12 starts, and one game out of the bullpen. Between 1998-2004, Pedro faced the Mariners 13 times, and Pedro picked up 13 wins. The 14th and final time Pedro faced the Mariners came on June 18, 2005. Pedro allowed four runs in six innings and lost to this.
I mentioned earlier that Pedro struck out 313 batters in 1999. It was the second time in Pedro's career that he'd surpassed 300 strikeouts, and the first and only time he'd do it in the AL. He's also the last pitcher to do it in the AL. The closest anyone has come since is Pedro, with 284 the next season. Justin Verlander reached 269 in 2009. Johan Santana reached 265 in 2004. Verlander reached 250 in 2011. But nobody's reached 300, and nobody's gotten particularly close.
I'm not going to say that it will never be done again, because you can't predict talent and you can't predict in which direction the game will go, but it certainly doesn't look like anyone will do it for a long while. Pedro faced 835 batters that year, and he made nearly two-fifths of them turn right around.
Pedro Martinez had that peak during which he burned as hot as the sun. He was not always as good as he was at his best. Nobody is. But one shouldn't focus on his peak at the expense of his entire body of work, because his entire body of work is spectacular. Pedro did end up breaking down in his late 30s. He didn't get to do what Randy Johnson did, or what Roger Clemens did. That's not really Pedro's fault, and he did last more than 400 starts, and nearly 3,000 innings. Over all of those starts and all of those innings, Pedro posted a 154 ERA+. He posted an ERA that was 54 percent better than the league. It is the highest career ERA+ for a starting pitcher in baseball history.
If you look at the Baseball-Reference ERA+ leaderboard, Mariano Rivera and Pedro Martinez are looking down at everybody else. It's just the way it ought to be, and we have been blessed to have seen these pitchers pitch.

I couldn't think of another name for this, but I think that's pretty good don't you?
Basically, as the article linked below indicates, the Angels would have traded GMJ and likely a good chunk of his contract to the Mets. The Rays would have gotten Milton Bradley. The Cubs would have gotten Castillo and Burrell and likely flipped Burrell for something else. No word on why this didn't go down.
It's unfortunate for us that this didn't go down. No major players were named going to us in the trade but they were probably prospects at best. At the very least I would have been fine with simply having the Mets eat a good amount of GMJ's salary.
What do we do with GMJ? This at least gives me some hope that we can move him if Tony keeps being creative. Of all the players involved here, GMJ is probably a close 2nd as far as overall talent and desireability behind Bradley. Hell, his attitude is about 150% better than Bradley's which might make him more desirable to potential suitors. I have a feeling we need to get this done in order to get some needed financial flexibility.

'Ello maitee's, how are we tonight?
I just got home from Busch Stadium as I went to the training session tonight (whoa bet you didnt guess that from the title now did you?). Anyway I'll give everyone a brief overview of how it was and what went on.
I snuck out of my internship about 20 minutes early so I could get home in time to meet up with my buddies before we headed down to the stadium. We got there at about 6:15 (doors opened at 5:30) and I was worried we were going to get shitty seats. Walking up the stadium there was a few Chelsea tents and they were giving out free flags!!! WOO! FREE STUFF! SWAG! #plasticfans #weknowwhoweare. When we walked in there were only about 3 thousand people there and so we got relatively decent seats in the lower bowl section at about the half line. That was nice. I enjoy a nice good seat.
We were all sitting anxiously awaiting our hero's to emerge from the away team's dugout (which I found rather strange, why wouldn't they get the Redbird's dugout?) when out comes the Lead Drummer Petr Cech followed by Big Blacks and last but certainly least Hilario. They all had about 3 or 4 mini adidas balls that they proceeded to kick into the crowd and none of them came toward me. Of course they didn't though, Im not that lucky. About 5 minutes later the rest of the Blues emerged from the tunnel, again carrying the balls and again no balls for me. Oscar found it quite fun to kick all of his into the upper deck while Ivanovic found it fun to try and throw his but come up short...twice.
The boys were split up into two groups for some 1 touch 7v2. One group in orange bibs and one group in the gold training kit.
Orange squad: Ake, Luiz, Lampard, Paulo, Ba, Cahill, Marin, Mata, Ramires
Gold squad: Oscar, Azpilicueta, Cole, Ivanovic, Loftus-Creek, Christiansen, Mikel, Yossi, Torres
The orange bibbed group was far more entertaining to watch as Mata and Luiz were quite amazing and Marin was in the middle probably about 80% of the time. Demba Ba spent most of his time laughing and hugging people and Paulo spent most of his time being incredible at life.
After the small sided games they moved to a game of keep away with gates in the middle. Pass/Dribble through to get a point, pretty standard stuff. Luiz was the most dynamic player in this game constantly in possession of the ball as well as winning it back whenever he was in the area. Mikel was quite amazing as well and from my memory he didn't lose the ball once. What amazed me the most about this was how quickly space was closed down after a switch in play/long-ball to break down the press. Marin again lost possession a lot and Benayoun was surprisingly excellent. Mata was also amazing. I probably didn't need to type that sentence because you guys know that already. Duh.
Next was 9v9 half field to goal. Oh wait, before this drill there was a ball at the halfway line and Frank walked up and stroked it onto the crossbar, so that was cool. Anyway, 9v9 was just ok. It was kind of compact but that is understandable as they have a game tomorrow, have played 68 games this year, and probably didn't want to try that hard. Torres scored 2 goals on pretty decent finishes and again Yossi was one of the better players out there. Frank picked up a little niggle it looked like and he was taken off. Before going down the tunnel he signed about 200 autographs for little girls that probably have no idea who he is but they probably have some pretty happy fathers.
Last thing on Rafa's agenda was 2 guys out wide and 2 guys making runs into the box, one near and one far. Pretty standard drill. Cole and Paulo were the first crossers of the ball and they were equally terrible. No one had any cool goals so that made me sad. Mata and Oscar were next out wide and immediately the quality of the crosses improved, thus improving the finishing. I dont think Ivanovic missed a header the entire time and Luiz was fantastic. Mata and Oscar ended with each of them attempting to set themselves up for a bicycle kick but neither of them would find the net. Blackman was pretty outstanding between the pipes and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the start tomorrow.
Im sure you all saw the results of the crossbar challenge on twitter but Gary Cahill beat out Cech, Christiansen, Luiz, and Ba for the title winning a trip to Stamford Bridge for the lucky fan he was paired with. Luiz was doing his usual shenanigans out there and had his tongue out 95% of the time tonight. He is an amazing person.
In the end it was an awesome night...I cant wait for tomorrow night, which should be an even better experience. Not everyday your favorite team in the world plays a game in your hometown. Unless, of course, you live in England.
Thanks. Any questions feel free to ask!
oh yea...there was a Cracker concert after the training session. I left.

stupid girls are always trying to dissapear as revenge
and you are not stupid.
—Frida Kahlo (via mermaidporn)
(via bisssy)
so much has changed.
and i'm getting skinnier.
my my says i'm "bony".
i want to tell her that i'm just getting started.
although, sometimes the scale tells me i'm only one kilogram away from my best weight 5-6 years ago, i cannot believe it. i don't look the same. i'm still fatty.
there are days passing by without eating anything good.
i have so much stress and worry in my life i'm not even hungry anymore.
and i enjoy every minute of it.
i enjoy the control. the fact that i can make it without eating much. i live through the day with a small breakfast. or just tea.
and i enjoy that someone worries about me.
but i still do this to myself. i cannot stop. even when i can see how skinny i am. i just don't care.
i should start exercising again.
but who has the time?
maybe next year. i'll reach my goal till then. and i can eat whatever i want if i exercise a lot.
i am going to change.
even my body wants me to lose weight. i'm cold and i freeze all the time….
warm yourself up on your own, i can't put on 5 layers of clothes!
i'm at my lowest weight in years.
and i think i'm in love.
he says all the right things (although because of all those complications he caused, i lost a lot of weight the past 1,5 months…). and i believe him.
sometimes i can see myself skinny. i can even admit that my legs are back. most of the time. like for example when i'm getting them waxed and the position i keep them in gives such a lovely sight i want to cry.
but then there are times like this moment right now. i looked into the mirror and i saw a fat girl. a really fat girl. it must have something to do with the fact that two photographers asked to work with me. i. need. to. lose. more. weight.
the past two weeks i've been eating well, today i stopped again.
i'm still not hungry. at all. i just feel dizzy, weak and have a headache. it's not right, i know. but i just love the control and the fact that i can make it through the day without food.
will i ever be able to stop?

NeoMedia reaches mobile barcode settlement with Scanbuy
Mobile marketing solutions providers NeoMedia Technologies and Scanbuy announced a settlement of all pending litigation between the two firms, granting each other non-exclusive patent licenses covering their respective mobile barcode technologies. NeoMedia brought a patent infringement suit against Scanbuy in 2004, seeking compensatory damages--Scanbuy and Marshall Feature Recognition filed suit against NeoMedia four years later. Per terms of the settlement, NeoMedia awards Scanbuy a royalty bearing, non-exclusive license to a portion of its patent portfolio in the U.S.--in turn, Scanbuy is granting NeoMedia a fully paid, irrevocable, non-exclusive license of Scanbuy patents and a fully paid, non-exclusive sublicense to all of the patents licensed by MFR to Scanbuy within the U.S.
Scanbuy's ScanLife app enables consumers to scan two-dimensional barcodes with a standard camera phone to automatically display a specific mobile website and launch video clips--users can then view and share that information via social networking communities.

For anyone who thinks team chemistry takes a back seat to talent, look no further than the boys in baby blue.(7-5) How else can you explain the presumptive pre-season conference favorite losing to Loyola Marymount and Middle Tennessee State at home? Clearly, someone wasn't taking their meds. And speaking of headcases, we cannot confirm rumors that Coach Howland was planning on reinstating suspended forward Reeves Nelson before being vetoed by the Illuminati-like power of the online Bruin community.
Once again, the internet proves to be smarter than a proven coach as the once-staggering Bruins are on a five game winning streak now that Reeves has taken his talents and therapist to Lithuania.
On paper, there's really no reason for UCLA to have underperformed this year. They were supposed to have the conference's best frontcourt, an experienced backcourt, and plenty of blue-chip talent. And on paper, this team is just one half-nelson away from being the same group projected to wrestle away the conference title.
But besides obvious chemistry issues and poor guard play, this team simply wasn't playing like a Ben Howland-coached team earlier in the year. They were getting beaten on the glass, giving up a _nation's_ worst 3PG%, and allowing opposing teams to shoot 50% from the field.
If the recent win streak is any indication, the Bruin's may finally be starting to buy in to their coaching staff. That could make them dangerous. At their best, Howland's teams take a page from the Oregon offensive line and assume that mugging, fouling, and holding on every play just won't be called. They're not a great shooting team, but have enough size with a rotation of four 6'10 players that can cause serious issues if they get the Cal bigs in foul trouble.
After the jump, we'll look at personnel and match-ups:
Projected Starters:
Lazaric Jones(Sr), 6'1, 187 lbs, 13.3 ppg, 3.7 apg
Jerime Anderson(Sr), 6'2, 183 lbs, 9.3 ppg, 3.5 apg
Tyler Lamb(So), 6'5, 200 lbs, 9 ppg, 3.7 rpg
David Wear(So), 6'10, 225 lbs, 8.7 ppg, 6.1 rpg
Joshua Smith(So), 6'10, 800 lbs, 9.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg
Travis Wear(So), 6'10, 220 lbs, 10.5 ppg, 5.1 rpg
Norman Powell(Fr), 6'3, 200 lbs, 5.9 ppg, 2.7 rpg
Anthony Stover(So), 6'10, 243 lbs, .6 ppg, 1.1 rpg
Jones and Anderson are a long, long way from the glory days of Russell Westbrook, Aaron Afflalo, and Jrue Holiday. Although both of them are veterans, they're more solid than stalwart, and more streaky than explosive. Neither one of them shoots the ball particularly well from the outside, so naturally they've been saving their career highs for today. Tyler Lamb under-achieved relative to his high school press clippings last year and has stayed true to form thus far this season. He's still more of an athlete than a shooter. The Wear twins are skilled and have size. But, they'd rather shoot from the outside than bang underneath. Joshua Smith is The Mountain That Walks with soft hands and a deadly touch from the paint. However, he's also The Mountain That Frequently Sits due to fatigue and foul issues; he's only playing 17 minutes a game. Teams have been employing zone defense against Smith with good effect. He often gets frustrated and will check out mentally, such as it is, if he doesn't get his touches. Where he's most dangerous is on the boards where he goes after offensive rebounds like a fat man chasing down free cheeseburgers.
Key Matchups:
1) The Battle In the Paint
If Richard Solomon can't go, our depth in the post is a serious concern. Our bigs absolutely have to stay out of foul trouble and do their best to keep UCLA from getting easy put-backs. With the way the Bruins normally shoot, there are plenty of offensive boards to be had. It'll be interesting to see if Monty goes zone because UCLA (presumably) lacks the 3-point shooting to make Cal pay for packing it inside.
2) Ball Security
Howland likes to pressure the ball and will automatically double the post. Because the Bruins are otherwise a poor-shooting team, it'll be key not to let turnovers give them too many easy points. Harper Kamp has seen this approach before and should be ready. Our younger post players haven't faced aggressive double teams before and will need to be ready to swing the ball.
Go Bears! Beat LA!

Comments about Smith Sport Opticals Smith Pivlock V90 Max Sunglasses:
I use this for cycling, which I am new to. I read the reviews on a couple sites vefore I purchased, one stated that she had a bigger face so I thought it would be perfect. They are smaller than I thought, but this might just be personal preference. If you have a fuller face, you may not like these.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Anyone who has witnessed the bickering here on BlueNC has seen only the tip of the iceberg as far as how far the Chairman's supporters will go in his defense. Folks who would normally step up and lead action against Voller will not, because he does have widespread support among the State Executive Committee's 700 members.
The only way to have a more sensible leadership in the Party, therefore, is to have those who disagree with the current party's leadership attend their local and county party meetings and run for the SEC. I won't. I tried twice, and I could not even get listed on the ballot in my county.
Maybe there is more hope outside the Raleigh beltline. The precincts have already started meeting and will continue into March. You can find your county party's information at the state party's web site:
NC Democratic Party – Calendar of Events 2014
We're fast approaching the SEC meeting, in which the Democratic Party's elite will choose the people who will run things during one of our most challenging times, and I'm starting to feel nauseated. That's not a figure of speech. I'm talking about that feeling where strange things are afoot on a gastro-intestinal level, and there's a distinct possibility you may actually throw up sometime in the near future. So you contemplate fluffy bunnies or Zen koans or anything else that will trick your body into calming down. Why am I nauseated? Because Rome is burning, and the only people who can fix it are acting not unlike the Crips and the Bloods, where the color of your bandana is more important than what you can think or do.
Greetings Fellow Democrats:
The announcement of Organizing for Action disturbs me. Many of you know how I have objected to the way that OFA (whether Obama For America or Organizing For America) interfered with what we do as officers or delegates of the Democratic Party. It seemed as though OFA was trying to set itself up as a structure that was parallel to and yet separate from the Democratic Party almost as though they wanted to usurp the traditional role of the Democratic Party and possible supersede it.
If you ever doubted it - here is the proof and others are noticing it too:
If it is able to sustain the passion that propelled Obama twice into the White House, the pro-Obama group may outstrip the role played by traditional interest groups, from organized labor to the environmental movement, and could form an independent power base outside the White House and the Democratic Party.
If it is able to sustain the passion that propelled Obama twice into the White House, the pro-Obama group may outstrip the role played by traditional interest groups, from organized labor to the environmental movement, and could form an independent power base outside the White House and the Democratic Party.
Attn SEC Members and Others: The Meet and Greet for Randy Voller originally scheduled for the Capital City Club has been moved to the Flying Saucer 328 W Morgan Street Raleigh NC 27601. Event will begin at 6:30pm. Food and Beverages will be available.
Raleigh is one of the few U.S. cities that was actually planned and built specifically to be a state capital. It was founded by legislators who met in Issac Hunter's Tavern back in 1788. They decreed our new capital must be within 10 miles of Isaac Hunter's tavern, a popular drinking spot of that time.
It also may be the only capital that was chosen because of its proximity to accessible alcohol ;-)
Therefore, it is fitting that we meet in a tavern to meet and greet with Randy Voller, who is running for the Chair of the NC Democratic Party.
NCCapitol profile from WRAL.com
Tonight's story: Democratic leaders fret (and the GOP gloats) over the defiance of #ncdem chair David Parker:
Supporters said Parker was the victim of a conspiracy by elected officials. Some say the conspiracy had to do with [how] party funding is divided. Others said Parker was scapegoated because the same-sex harassment came to light just three weeks before a ballot initiative to ban same-sex unions...
I have been following the controversy on this blog, and I have not wanted to jump in. No one would with the level of animosity that has prevailed over productive discussion. To give an opinion has been to invite attack.
I agree with James that it is counterproductive--as well as mean spirited--to continue the name calling and spewing of venom against fellow Democrats and fellow Progressives.
Apparently it's crazier than it seems:
The 742-member N.C. Democratic State Executive Committee meeting in Greensboro voted to retain David Parker as chairman. He had turned his resignation in earlier in the day but agreed to stay on after the vote.
Can somebody help me with a little math here? I know I went to a county school and all that, and studied some fairly obscure dead civilizations as a History major, but...if you subtract the 269 pro-Parker votes from the 742 SEC members, that leaves 473 votes. Subtract the 203 hasta la vista, baby votes cast from the remaining total, and you still have 270 outstanding votes not cast. Did I miss something? I mean, other than the passengers not giving a shit who's driving the bus.
RALEIGH, N.C. —Democratic National Committee member David Parker of Statesville easily defeated current state Rep. Bill Faison of Orange County and former state party First-vice Chair Dannie Montgomery of Anson County on the first ballot. Parker will succeed outgoing Party Chairman David Young of Asheville.
As the Raleigh News and Observer reports, " North Carolina Democrats Saturday chose a veteran activist, David Parker, to lead the party's comeback effort next year, that will include efforts to hold on to the governor's mansion and retake the legislature from the Republicans".
The Democratic Party's State Executive Committee (SEC) of over 600 members met to conduct a regular business meeting at the NC State University McKimmon Center.
Parker, 56, of Iredell County, took the gavel and leadership over the party immediately. He will serve a two-year term. He received 355 out of 632 total votes, party spokeswoman Kerra Bolton said.
I want to share a letter with you that I sent to David Parker and Bill Faison and that I am reprinting here with both of their knowledge and permission.
The Future of the North Carolina Democratic Party
Hugh L. Wilde Jr January 15 at 2:30pm
as a life long democrat and a member of the SEC I have a few things I want to share with you both.
Two weeks from now our party will have a new chairman and it will be one of you. You are both men of purpose and accomplishment and it is my though that whoever wins and whoever loses this race, that the party needs you both.
It is my hope that whoever prevails as chairman that his first action will be to fully involve the other in a position of high importance in the North Carolina Democratic Party.
Fetzer and his goons are the enemy, not either one of you, and it is going to take all that all of us can do to have a chance at prevailing in 2011 and 2012.
I am doing research to write a profile for publication. The subject is P. R. Latta of Wake County. P. R. is being honored again this year by the Wake Young Democrat's Annual P. R. Latta Award Dinner, August 19th. The award was first presented in 2001.
I would like anyone with stories of P. R.'s work as a union leader and lobbyist, member of the county or state Executive Committees, or civic group volunteer to contact me with the information. You do not have to be quoted for attribution. Background material is appreciated, too.
I would like to publish the profile online the week of the Award Dinner, so I need any contributions by next Monday. My phone number in Raleigh is 919-781-7278.
