This General Election is somewhat different than any other election that has taken place in the past.
This election will be comprised of all newly redistricted school board seats with the exception of Cleveland School District.
Candidate qualifying began Aug. 7 and will close Sept. 6.
The Election Commission has been working diligently to prepare for this complex election. The Election Commission ensures that the voter rolls are accurate and that the county's sub-district races and candidates as well are properly placed on the ballot.
A few words cannot describe how much work goes into preparing for an election, especially an election as complex as this election will be in November.
There are a few issues we want voters to be reminded of prior to going to the polls on Election Day.
If you have moved or relocated within Bolivar County recently, please ensure your voter record has been updated. To find out your new school district, you may contact the Circuit Clerk's Office or to find out where you should vote, visit our website at http://bolivarms.myecounty.com
Most voters may have already received notice from the Election Commission of their new school district. Extra efforts have been made in order for all voters to receive voting information so that this election will go smoothly.

Pontiac Grand Am: Key issue
I have a 2005 Pontiac Grand Am, and lately it thinks that the key is still in the ignition when I take it out. So with my car thinking the key is still in the ingnition, I cannot lock my car by the switch on the door, due to a lockout protection feature.
prestocat Posts: 6The factory installed remote keyless entry stopped working. I changed the battery in the remote and I checked all the fuses (the maxi fuse under the hood and the mini fuse in the driver side panel). I also tried the verification procedure to see if the car has a factory keyless entry installed, which it does, with no response from the car. It's supposed to beep 3 times. Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance!
rick2165 Posts: 42003 Grand Am GT1... I replaced the key cylinder, fix the issue for 2 days. The new cylinder locked up like the old one. Seems that the steering not locking must be related. Since the new cylinder requires damaging to remove, I am hesitant to install another cylinder until identifying the real root cause of the issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Most of those closings are a result of a changing of consumer habits. Barnes and Noble is closing becuase more people are buying books online. Not to mention BN is in the e-book race. They are moving away from Brick and Mortor and putting their money behind the Nook.
Office Depot and Office Max are quickly becoming irrelevant with the power and efficiency of Amazon.com and other online retailers who can get you more for less with just a click of the mouse.
Sears/KMart have been closing stores for years. Jeez, Kmart left the Houston market back when the economy was still in good standing. And i'd be blessed to see a Sears in Houston and I think I saw one in LA.
A lot of those businesses are failing because of failed business models and bad business decisions.
Defense cuts are going to hurt the economy just as other government spending cuts will hurt the economy. However the defense cuts just started and could have in no way made such a huge impact. The Service chiefs announced their freezes only last week and the Navy began firing folks this week.
Now it could be the defense industry reading the tea leaves and self cutting to prepare for the future. However actual cuts did not begin until recently.
I find it amusing that most of those companies cited by Henry are Strategic management case studies in the textbook i am using this semester. It was printed in 2011. They are examples of how failure to strategically manage your enterprise results in failure or major loss and restructuring. I am figuring out how to save Best Buy coincidentally. Nothing germane their to the party panty fight but I do find amusing that Obama forced these companies to fail by not being on their boards. So destined to fail that they ended up in a text book printed in 2011.
i could tell you how to fix the economy, have more elections. fewer republicans = fewer roadblocks to recovery.
Springer, why the refusal to address the significant evidence I have posted showing strong business investment and a leap in consumer spending? Perhaps because it doesn't suit the argument of the "economy dying". This is nonsense. This is a slight pull back after many quarters of solid GDP growth, and it's expected to climb faster this year than last.
This thread is just total rubbish not having any real basis in reality.
Do he play by sense of smell?
I was wrong previously. Defense spending was down 22% from everything I have been reading...... that is what republicans want. More cuts to spending. This is a perfect example of what will happen to the economy.
Here's more news for those who refuse to accept reality:
High-end home sales hit record in California
2012 home sales: Best in 5 years

CowBoy Bob: Thanks for this information. It amazes how well the American auto industry has rebounded from near extinction. I can only imagine how much worse the economy would have been had the industry been allowed to go bankrupt.
I know my partner and I have done what we could for the auto industry--three new Chevys since 2008. And, truly, the best cars we've owned.
Jobless claims go up and down all of the time. It's a result of the seasonal nature of a lot of jobs out there. You should sit down and have a discussion with the private sector on how job instability hurts the economy.
As far as the jobs council, I wouldn't call it non-productive since the very article you quoted said that unemployment was 9% when they were established and is now 7.8%. Also, I would read the rest of the article about how the executive order had the sunset in it and how the President never intended for it to be long term.

Unemployment is up again to 7.9%.
But I know liberals think that is a good thing.
Ford, GM, Chrysler sales advance on sharp rise in car, crossover deliveries
Some news to counter the gloomy gus.Ford Motor Co., General Motors and Chrysler Group posted double-digit sales increases in January, signaling the industry may be starting 2013 on a stronger note than expected. Other automakers will release January sales results later today, with Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. expected to post substantial gains.
Dow climbs above 14,000
Damn, the Obama economy is looking pretty good, Springer! You can thank your (re-elected) President for saving the country from the Bush depression.The Dow Jones industrial average climbed above 14,000 for the first time since the Great Recession. The index rose as high as 14,000.97 in early trading. The index last traded above 14,000 in October 2007.
LMFAO! Talk about taking half of a report... read the fucking report. 157,000 jobs were created and prior months were revised up. It was in line with what I said.
How do liberals think that is a good thing?
The jobs report was actually quite strong, and ECONOMISTS think that. There was a significant pick-up in construction... with a great deal of hiring. This indicates stronger months of economic growth to come.
GDP growth is expected to accelerate to 3% this year and perhaps higher... as the last quarter decline was a "one off".
Oh and if the republican party wasn't stopping pro-jobs bill growth would be much higher, but it's still respectably strong. I guess republican math only consists of taking certain figures and ignoring the rest.
Jack 3 basic rebuttals have been thrown your way.
1) A lot of the downturn was over the uncertainty of what was happening with the "fiscal cliff", which occurred because Republicans utterly refused to come to the table at all until the very last second.
2) A lot of the industries and companies losing traction are doing so because of wider market changes such as the move into e-commerce and mismanagement, and have absolutely nothing to do with anything Obama does.
3) Cutting Federal spending, which Republicans WANT, is going to result in short-term dips to economic activity.
These three things are all pretty much core to what you were trying to say in your original post.

Even considering those three rebuttals, the economy still turned in solid job figures and job figures from prior months were actually revised upwards. In addition, construction created 15,000 jobs in the last month and that's often a key indicator where the economy is headed. Despite all the republican assaults on the American people, the economy is showing great resislence. -0.1% GDP decline doesn't mean much when over 400,000 jobs were created the last two months. The decline was a "one-off" as they say in economics.
Source: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/janua...ry?id=18369717
Good to look at the entire picture.
Looking at it all, it's actually a very strong jobs report... especially considering the prior months.Employment numbers for November were revised higher to 247,000 from 161,000. For December, they were also revised higher to 196,000 from 155,000.
This report, which does not include government or public jobs data, noted that goods-producing employment increased by 15,000 jobs in January, primarily fueled by a 15,000 increase in construction jobs. Manufacturing jobs, however, were down by 3,000.
Service jobs, including restaurant workers, health care workers, housekeepers, teachers and retail sales positions, increased by 177,000, with professional/business services adding 40,000 jobs for the month, the ADP report said. Trade/transportation/utilities added 33,000 jobs, and financial services added 12,000 jobs.
Obama oversold the recovery -- the red is actual unemployment.
At the current rate of job growth it will take until 2025 to reach were we were before the recession started.
I have no doubt whatsoever that you guys will put a good spin on that -- but deep down you know it's not good.
The falsehoods continue... Obama never oversold anything. Jobs are being created at a steady pace. Look at all the figures please, like the facts I posted. I'm not putting any fucking good spin on this. I'm stating the facts. Not some paint shop graph that is distorting everything anyways. Oh by the way, JACK. 247,000 jobs were created in December.
It's not a weak report. It's actually a strong one if one were to look at the ACTUAL figures. Oh and thanks for the right wing crackpot website...
Deep down I know it's real fucking good because of the high level of construction jobs being created and also the fact that the two prior months were revised up to over 200,000 jobs created. Fact check please!
And what's the republican plan? What is it? I want to hear it.
Jack, yes, job recovery takes time.
All you said is he "oversold" the recovery. To me that means very little because Republicans have criticized everything about Obama from the false interpretation that he promised an instant recovery. If you listened to any of his speeches, even his pre-election campaign speeches, he said that this would take years and be a lot of hard work. He never promised instant recovery.
If you believe he has somehow done something that has 'hurt' recovery, say how exactly. But realize that we're going to take it within the context that the financial collapse in the first place followed up 8 years of Republicans getting to do anything they wanted with the leadership of this country.
One of the worst recessions in years indeed... but, the last three months have showed a pick-up in job growth... two months close to or exceeding 200,000 jobs created and a sharp uptick in the construction sector which is a vital indicator of the economy.
Bad News:
The Dow exceeded 14,000 today - highest in the last five years... before Bush and Paulson torpedoed the economy. When Barry took office in 2009, it was around 6,500. It's like golf - the lower score the better. Right?
What would Buddah do?
Bull market! Say it isn't so
I think what the president stands behind is the policies that he is implementing, the policies that he is advocating. That's what's important. *
The blog to which you linked was published by James Pethokoukis. Back in 2008 he published a few pieces of advice for then-presidential candidate, John McCain, which included:
Ten weeks later, Senator McCain announced Sarah Palin as his running mate. So, Mr. Pethokoukis acknowledged that sometimes facts change and it is therefore prudent to change position. I wonder if he regrets advising John McCain to stand with Governor Palin.He could trot out that famous John Maynard Keynes line, When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir? The end of cheap oil is one huge factual change. And McCain could set the stage, as someone recently suggested, by visiting ANWR with Alaska's governor, Sarah Palin.
I also wonder if the Obama Administration has ever revised its outlook for employment in the US. The figures Mr. Pethokoukis cites are from 2009.
Bernstein and Romer are no longer part of the Obama Administration and the facts have changed since their predictions of 2009.To provide some context, recall that back in January 2009 Team Obama economists Jared Bernstein and Christina Romer predicted the unemployment rate by 2013 would be closing in on 5%.
And with regard to the linked blog, Wiki reports: More than twenty AEI scholars and fellows served either in a Bush administration policy post or on one of the government's many panels and commissions. Im glad they have found a way to continue to collaborate and share their expertise.
A major reason why the pre-recession employment levels will not soon again be reached is the changing demographics here in the US. Nine months ago I posted about the decreasing job participation rate, including how it is expected to decline over the next couple decades. Unless we can convince more people to immigrate to the US, we simply wont have the workforce to restore pre-recession employment levels anytime soon.
Again, what exactly does the President need to do? Should he hire more government workers to help reduce that number? You should really be e-mailing your friends in private industry and telling them to hire people. You should also go ahead and e-mail your Republican buddies in Congress and tell them to pass Obama's job creation measures. Keep in mind, the predictions his team made in January 2009 were predicated on the fact that they would have a Congress that would be interested in creating jobs and not trying to take Obama out of one. I know it's modus operandi for Republicans to roadblock everything and then blame the lack of large positive movement on the President, but most of America sees through their tricks and really doesn't trust Republicans to do anything anymore.

A US President has ways of making it more convenient for businesses to be more productive. There is much uncertainty regarding issues such as taxes, Obamacare, regulations including EPA and HHS regulations that have businesses very unsure of what the future will hold.
There are no tricks involved. It's called leadership.
Jack now you're talking about how there's been uncertainty about the laws but you blame Obama entirely for that... and you don't seem to blame the Republican party acting as pure obstructionists and delaying everything they can for as long as possible as part of the equation at all.
One can "lead" all they want. Getting the House, controlled by the opposing party, to agree with your priorities is another thing. So sick and tired of the bullshit from blowhards out there that simply either:
1) Don't get the basics of the functions of each of the branches of government works ... or
2) Understands it, and just tries to trpll others in an attempt to start an argument for the Hell of it
The President was re-elected. The only reason the GOP kept the House was due to the gerrymandering committed in 2010 by these lowlife GOP governors. Otherwise, the Dems would have reclaimed the House, as well. Then, "leadership" as you put it, would have been much less of an issue.
Keep kicking and stomping your feet all you want. The majority of Americans seem to get how government works now.
Telling it like it is.
Uh huh, and he's done that very effectively leading the economy from one of the worst recessions in years. Show me proof where he has failed. There is no proof that he failed. Obamacare doesn't even cause a dent in the economy, rather it is beneficial for businesses in the long haul. Obama's regulations of the EPA? So we let america become a toxic waste dump? If we have environmentally friendly businesses that is optimal... but don't expect the private sector to do it voluntarily.
All this talk attacking Obama's leadership is based on nothing but rhetoric. Show some proof.
In addition, why the heck are corporate profits through the roof if Obama is so bad for businesses?
By 171% to be exact. And one can cite some business like Barnes and Nobles or Radio Shack all they want... but lets look at the BIGGER PICTURE.Business executives like to portray the Obama administration as the "most anti-business" in history, creating an "increasingly hostile environment for investment and job creation." However, the data tells a far different story. According to a Bloomberg News analysis, corporate profits have grown by 171 percent under Obama, the most in the post-war era:
U.S. corporations' after-tax profits have grown by 171 percent under Obama, more than under any president since World War II, and are now at their highest level relative to the size of the economy since the government began keeping records in 1947, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Profits are more than twice as high as their peak during President Ronald Reagan's administration and more than 50 percent greater than during the late-1990s Internet boom, measured by the size of the economy.
Oh and if someone hates Thinkprogress.org, they cite Bloomberg so lets not go there.
What else has Congress brought him? Last time I checked, Congress was supposed to bring Legislation to the President's desk first, so he can either sign off or veto it.
Seems to me like you are pointing the finger at the wrong branch of Government. Then again, most Republicans seem to have confused which branch they should be looking at for legislative matters since Obama has been in office.
"We want legislation and action ... so we could look at the 'LEGISLATIVE BRANCH' ... but nah ... what sense does that make? Let's look at the Executive Branch instead."
All of you should be calling your Congressman if you want action on something.
Telling it like it is.
Quoted for emphasis. I don't know how many topics or threads it's been necessary to point that out in, but it's been a lot. There's a whole lot of vague "Obama should LEAD, Obama could have done this, Obama could have done that", and somehow it always involves passing a lot of new laws left and right and promptly-- with a Congress that is routinely engaging in obstructionism because they seemingly have absolutely no idea how to participate in government as Republicans under a successful Democratic opponent under any other criteria.
Well, I think it points to the bigger problem of trolling, frankly. And it's obviously all around the internet on political forums. Because you have people that aren't interested in having a real discussion about topics and solutions. Rather, you have people that simply enjoy having conflict and taunting the other side because it's fun to do.
You could point out the obvious such as "Legislative matters should involve the leaders of Congress first since it is their duty to introduce legislation, pass it, and then forward it up to the President", but it doesn't matter.
Blaming the President is conditional depending on the situation in Congress. If one party controls the Presidency, the Senate, and the House ... as Bush did for 6 out of his 8 years in office, then pointing the finger at the President is certainly understandable. Pointing the finger at the President over legislative matters when the opposite party controls one house of Congress is frankly laughable, childish, and non-sensible. And this is for reasons that are obvious to pretty much anyone with a level-head on their shoulders.
As further demonstration that Americans who vote seem to be beginning to understand this, Obama was re-elected despite unemployment, the economy, etc. And Congress still keeps a low disapproval rating, with Americans blaming Republicans for their obstructionism in Congress more than the Democrats.
As mentioned earlier, you can thank the gerrymandering on the GOP governors from 2010 for being the only reason they were fortunate enough to keep the House. And that tactic should frankly be illegal. Maybe the Dems should start doing the same thing if that issue isn't going to be addressed. They already have in a few states. I guess if the GOP wants to cheat, there is no reason why the Dems can't as well.
I want to know why Jack Springer and others are not looking to Speaker Boehner and their party's leadership in Congress for not leading on this matter, instead of pointing the finger at the Executive Branch, whose responsibility as defined by Congress in legislative matters is purely checks and balances-- to either sign or veto legislation passed by Congress.
Telling it like it is.
The only reason there is any uncertainty in any of that is because Republicans can't sit down and work out a solution with Democrats. It's that simple. Taxes could have easily been solved earlier than they were had the Republicans in the House not stuck to their "no raising taxes ever" ideals and just kicked the can down the road slightly with temporary extensions. Obamacare was passed as the law of the land almost 4 years ago and was upheld by the Supreme Court. The only reason there is uncertainty there is because Republicans keep trying ways to repeal it, block its implementation, or defund it. EPA regulations haven't seen any major changes for the past few years. The only uncertainty there was a Republican presidential candidate running on the platform of basically eliminating the EPA. The debt ceiling and sequester could be easily solved if Republicans didn't take a "my way or the highway" approach.
The uncertainty that comes from government is only there because the Republicans make it. If they can take time to pull their heads out of their ideologue asses and show a willingness to compromise, then you will see much more get done.
So nobody is in favor of my decree idea? We can also have five year plans directed by the President and Congress could be all appointed... we should also rig the system so only one party wins all the time. That's the idea I get from certain right wing trolls on here. They complain about Obama not being effective enough...
I have to debunk this thread as certain right wingers are still bringing up this gdp figure as if it proves some point.
Lulz... the economy never "died". The GDP probably grew about +0.3% in the fourth quarter and the government figure is likely to revised upwards. This is good because it sets the stage for even stronger growth in the later part of this year.The U.S. economy likely expanded slightly in the fourth quarter, according to data on Friday that suggested a surprise drop in GDP reported by the government last week was overstated.
The decline in GDP was driven by an expected drop in exports, smaller gains in inventories and a plunge in government spending on the military.
Barclays said even with December's decline in wholesale inventories, GDP likely expanded 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter thanks to the higher export numbers in Friday's trade report.
U.S. exports increased $8.6 billion in December, boosted by sales of industrial supplies, including a $1.2 billion rise of non-monetary gold.
Anything above zero or negative growth is a plus -- but the number has to be bigger to signify actual growth in the economy.
You're comparing baking a cake in an EasyBake(r) oven to one baked in a regular kitchen oven.
The economy sucks and yet the President didn't lay out a plan to help stimulate growth or jobs in his SOTU speech ... just more government give-a-ways.
Jack: Blah blah blah... more deflections, more distortions. The economy expanded and is showing stronger signs of job growth, including two months with job growth reaching 200,000. "The economy sucks", "The President didn't lay out a plan"... are just more of the same old falsehoods. He did lay out a plan. Get some facts please and not the same old distortions.
READ the actual fucking report please. Economic growth is being visible in every sector of the economy. In the other thread, I posted articles regarding leaps in consumer confidence and business spending.
What a bullshit analogy. Get something real please. GDP growth is likely to be above 3% for 2013... perhaps greater.You're comparing baking a cake in an EasyBake(r) oven to one baked in a regular kitchen oven.
This entire thread was about harping on about the "economy dying". The economy is expanding and growing at a solid pace. Deal with the reality!

Now you're just dreaming.
I wish it wasn't dreaming -- we need growth.
The slow quarter was largely the result of the manmade fiscal cliff which was a lot of financial uncertainty because your party wouldn't negotiate like adults until the deadline was flashing red.
Now as growth continues you will proceed to not talk about the economy whatsoever or give any credit to Obama.
No, the contraction was because of a fiscal cliff. That was all spin -- Obama made fiscal cliff occurs March 1 - and won't show up for most until later.
The problem is that our leader does not see a problem. Do you think GWB envisioned 9/11 -- he didn't --- but had to adjust his presidency to the issue at hand, not what he initially wanted to accomplish.
You're going to have to do better than that.
Springer, several people have posted facts for you in this thread and in others about how wrong you are and you're just scampering from thread to thread trolling. You aren't paying attention to anything, just posting a bunch of shit that has nothing to do with reality.
You're sickening.
What a wrong, totally FALSE response. The fiscal cliff is all spin? It was immediate and most of the cuts were immediate if there was nothing done. Our leader most certainly does see issues in the economy, but you keep posting outright falsehoods about both this country and the economy that need to be called out on. Yes, very sickening.

WE ARE HAVING FUCKING GROWTH. THE FIGURES I POSTED THAT SHOW CLEARS GROWTH. I'm dreaming? Two months of job growth hitting 200,000 and that looks to continue. Give me a fucking break.''
The 4th quarter was a one off. It wasn't really because of the fiscal cliff, but rather a draw down in government spending and business inventories.

Well made!!!
I just got this in the mail in size medium because I don't like my clothes too tight on me. Although I could have gotten away with a small. The material are once again very well made. I gave it 4 stars because I'm only 5'2" and this romper/ jumper is about 3 inches long for me but I will take it to my seam dress lady and have it hem up. It's very causal for spring/ summer.

Entire USA!About Our Rescue Group:
New Rattitude is an all-volunteer rescue group for Rat Terriers and Rat Terrier mixes. We are a licensed, registered 501(c)3 non-profit charity that provides temporary living environments for abandoned, abused, neglected, sick, or unwanted Rat Terriers. In private foster homes, they are nurtured, socialized, trained, supported medically, and provided with professional veterinary care while we work diligently to find them new and permanent adoptive homes where they will be safe, loved, and properly and humanely cared for the rest of their lives.WE WELCOME NEW FOSTER HOMES!
There are always more Rat Terriers needing to be rescued than we have space to accommodate, so new foster homes are always needed. If you have time and love to spare, consider becoming a New Rattitude foster home. Our foster homes find the experience extremely rewarding. Fostering allows you to have a direct impact on the lives of many dogs who would otherwise have no hope. For more information about becoming a foster parent, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cash donations go directly to pay for veterinary expenses for our rescued dogs (including vaccinations, heartworm testing and treatment, spay/neuters, antibiotics to fight infections, etc.). Since we are an all-volunteer organization with virtually no overhead, 100% of your donation goes directly to care for the dogs and we are a federal 501(c)3 charity, so your donations are fully tax-deductible! To donate, send check or money order to: New Rattitude, PO Box 14064, Lansing, MI 48901. Or donate via Paypal by clicking on the button below.

http://www.NewRattitude.orgCome Meet our Pets:
New Rattitude operates through a network of volunteers, and the dogs are housed in private foster homes rather than in a shelter. Because of that, we do not own a location where the public can come to visit dogs. The fastest way to get acquainted with any of our dogs is to submit an adoption application. After your application is received, you'll be put in touch with the dog's foster parent, who is the one to answer specific questions you may have about the dog. You may also contact our Adoption Team to verify the dog doesn't already have multiple other applications or with questions about our process.Our Adoption Process:
We go through a very careful adoption process because our mission is to place dogs in loving homes that will last the rest of their lives. We evaluate each home's overall suitability and safety, and we also consider whether a particular dog is right for you and whether you are right for that dogbecause we know that a great lasting relationship depends on the right match. This process will usually take several days. Your patience and understanding are appreciated.To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our website by clicking here!
The fastest way to indicate your interest in a particular dog and to find out more about him/her is to SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION.
After you submit an application, we will confirm receipt and notify the fosterparent of the dog you are interested in. The fosterparent will contact you with more details about the dog to help you get to know him or her better. Please ask questions so that you can be sure that this dog meets your hopes and expectations.
In the meantime, our Adoption volunteers will be reviewing your application, checking your references, and arranging for a home visit to verify that your physical environment is safe and suitable. You will also receive a phone call from an Adoption Coordinator for an interview to help us better understand your household situation and your reasons and expectations for adoption.
Assuming all goes well and that you are approved for adoption, we will send you an adoption contract to read, sign, and return to us with your adoption fee ($175 for adult dogs; $225 for puppies under 6 months). Once we receive your contract and fee, your new dog can come HOME to you!
If the distance from your home to the dog's fosterhome and is less than 100 miles, we would normally expect you to go pick up the dog. If the distance is 100-600 miles, we would usually arrange a ground transport, using a network of volunteer drivers, to get the dog to you (and expect you to drive at least the last leg of the transport). If the distance is greater than 600 miles, the dog must usually be flown by air, and the costs of the flight (usually aroung $250) are the responsibility of the adopter.
If you have questions about adoption that aren't answered on our website, you may CONTACT OUR ADOPTION TEAM at email@example.com. The Adoption Team will know the status of any pending applications and can help you submit an adoption application.

Assume this: Forward gets 2 G, 2 A in a game. 1 G and 2 A are on the PP. 1 G is a GWG. And he has 8 shots on goal. That is an above average game for any star player, but still could easily be more: 2 G = 6 points 2 A = 4 points 1 PP G = .5 points 3 PP Points = 3 points 1 GWG = 1 Point 8 Shots = 1.6 Points Total = 16.1 Points Goalies. Assume shutout with 40 saves, which is an amazing game for any goalie: Win = 3 points Saves 40 = 8 points Shutout = 3 points Total = 14 points Basically I see the forwards having great games much more often than the goaltenders. 4 point games with a ton of PP points are pretty common for the superstars of the league, where goalies have a handful of the 40 save shutout games. Majority of shutouts are with 20 shots on goal and the goalies don't have to work much. I would trade from some superstars if you could. Even trade some of your Dmen for some bigger names. There is no shot block or hits category so Dmen aren't as valuable.

This product has not yet been reviewed.
While it will likely suffice for Assassin's Creed core fans, Unity stumbles throughout and never really finds its footing. Where last year's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag saw the franchise reach new heights, Unity is somewhat of a sidestep that only shines sporadically.

Indonesia Minister, Clerics Clash over Hajj Swine Vaccine' Requirement
June 18, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
JAKARTA, June 15 — The Indonesian Council of Ulema (MUI) and the health minister are now at odds over a requirement for hajj pilgrims to take an anti-meningitis vaccine which allegedly contains a swine enzyme before travelling to the Holy Land, Antara news agency reported.
"Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari's statement that MUI has no right to decide whether meningitis vaccine is 'halal' (allowed in Islam) or 'haram' (banned) can mislead and create unrest among Muslims," MUI Chairman Amidhan, said yesterday.
According to the MUI chairman, the health minister as a state official should not have made the statement as it would create unrest among Muslims. The minister made the statement at a meeting of the Aisyiyah women wing of the Muhammadiyah Muslim organisation in Yoyakarta yesterday.
"I read her statement in the running text of a television broadcast Sunday morning," Amidhan said.
MUI has the authority to decide whether or not a product is halal or haram based on Law No. 7 / 1996 on Food. One of its articles clearly stipulates that the halal certification of a product would be issued by MUI.
MUI is equipped with two institutions in this case. One is the Institute for Assessment of Food, Drug and Cosmetics (LPPOM) and the other one is the Commission on Edicts and Legal Affairs.
"Before MUI decides whether a product is halal or haram, its team will check it in the field and test it in a laboratory, the results of which would be taken to and discussed with the edict commission. We have the experience to handle such a problem for 20 years," Amidhan said.
At the Aisyiyah meeting, Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari said that Indonesian would-be hajj pilgrims were obliged to receive a meningitis vaccine before they left for Saudi Arabia because the Saudi government had decided to oblige pilgrims to have one.
"The Saudi government obliges all hajj pilgrims to have meningitis vaccine in order to protect them from cerebral membrane inflammation," the minister said. She was responding to a rejection by a hajj pilgrim organiser group to provide meningitis vaccine as the vaccine was suspected to contain swine enzyme.
The minister said that the requirement set by the Saudi government to have meningitis vaccine for would-be hajj pilgrims was final. Pilgrims should be injected with the vaccine if they wanted to travel to Saudi Arabia.
"I have told the Saudi health minister about the pros and cons on the use of the meningitis vaccine which was suspected to contain swine enzyme but the Saudi government maintained its policy and required meningitis vaccination for hajj pilgrims," the minister said.
Therefore, Indonesia's would-be hajj pilgrims should receive meningitis vaccine injection in the first place before they could depart to Saudi Arabia. Without taking the meningitis vaccine, a would-be hajj pilgrim would not be allowed to go to the Holy Land.
"So far, there is only one kind of meningitis vaccine used by hajj pilgrims. This vaccine is produced by a US pharmacy. So far, no other pharmacy has produced meningitis vaccine," the minister said.
The minister said that the US company was going to produce another type of meningitis vaccine. They claimed the new product was an innovative version of the previous one.
"Therefore, the price of the new vaccine which was claimed to be free from pig enzyme is far higher than that of the previous vaccine," the minister said.
With regard to the present vaccine, the minister said that the institution that had the right to assess the substance of the vaccine was the ministry of health, not the MUI. So, MUI had neither right nor authority or competence to assess the substance of the meningitis vaccine and decided that it was halal or haram.
"MUI may decide that swine is halal or haram, but as far as a vaccine is concerned, the institution which has the right and competence to assess its substance is the health ministry," Minister Supari said.
However, it was reported that MUI had received the very information on the swine enzyme substance in the meningitis vaccine from the health ministry itself, namely its Advisory Council on Health and Religious Legal Affairs (MPKS).
Amidhan said that MUI had the information from the MPKS which held a meeting with the meningitis vaccine producer. It was learnt from the results of a meeting between MPKS and the vaccine producer Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK), that the vaccine contained swine enzyme.
The producer even admitted that the meningitis vaccine contained swine enzyme.
"That is why we say that the vaccine is haram," the MUI chairman said. MUI has sent a letter to the Saudi government with regard to the requirement for pilgrims to have meningitis vaccine.
The highest Islamic regulating council took the step because all parties involved in the organization of hajj pilgrimage in the country had agreed that the vaccine contained pig substance.
"We are waiting for a response from the Saudi government. However, if the Saudi government insists on its decision to require pilgrims to take meningitis vaccine, then we will use it based on the principle of emergency. Of course this would continue to create unrest," Amidhan said. — Bernama

Summer festivals in the Southland 2013, Part 2
By Jessi Virtusio firstname.lastname@example.com/Twitter: @JessiVirtusio July 12, 2013 12:08PM
Special Consensus is among the musical performers booked for Bluegrass Festival on the Green, which will take place July 13-14 in Frankfort.
Information about Southland festivals should be emailed to email@example.com with "Festivals" in the subject line.
Updated: September 2, 2013 10:48AM
EDITOR'S NOTE: The original article with Southland festival links could no longer be updated with new information, so this will now be your one-stop shop for a look at local fests in summer.

Modified resource teachers Erica Davis and Sharvetta Bess have incorporated coupon and sale shopping skills into daily math lessons with their students in an effort to help the families of the children they serve.
"Sharvetta does a lesson with the coupons and then ... the coupons go home so (the students') parents know what store to shop at and where the coupon goes the furthest," Davis said.
Information on what stores are having sales that week is researched by Bess and passed on to the parents.
Each week parents are asked to submit a list of the items they want to purchase. Students and teachers then look for coupons targeting those items.
Each coupon lesson uses the basic math skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
"We talk about how much the coupons are and we work the problems out," Sharvetta said. "Then at the end I say, 'I'm just curious. How much would each item really cost me?' So we take the number of items and divide it into what our total would be in the grocery store."
The teachers encourage parents to have their students be involved in the grocery shopping by letting them hand the coupons to the cashier.
"This is just life skills for our kids," Davis said.
Many of the students in the classes come from low-income households.
Davis said knowing how to use coupons will be an asset to her students.
Parent response has been good, according to Davis.
The teachers individualize each coupon-based lesson to items the family will actually buy.
Bess said students are excited to find coupons for foods they like. She said she thinks the parents have been excited, too.
Common Core standards and requirements for the upcoming Partnership for Assessment of Readiness of College and Careers Assessment, which will replace the Tennessee Comprehensive Program as the state required test, are also being reinforced in the lessons.
The students are given word problems involving the same type of food as the coupons they are using. For example, if the couponing math lesson focused on fruit, the word problem would be about fruit.
"One of the strategies ... they are trying to get kids to use when taking the CRA (constructive response) assesment is called the RICE strategy," Davis said. "So what we're trying to do is teach our kids the RICE strategy ... but we do it a different way."
A constructive response requires students to write out and explain how they solved a math problem.
The RICE strategy requires students to "Restate the problem, Illustrate the answer, Calculate the answer and Explain the answer."
Davis calls the alternative strategy used in the couponing lesson the 4 Ps: Picture, Problem, Prove it! and Product.
A technology grant from the Bradley Cleveland Public Education Foundation has helped the teachers implement the coupon lessons.
Davis said she received a grant for iPads to use coupon applications and websites.
"We're using the iPads to look for different coupons," Davis said.
Another donation to the class from the Cleveland Daily Banner has provided free copies of the Wednesday and Sunday newspapers in which many coupons appear.
The idea for the innovative lessons came from a teacher conference Davis attended.
"Sharvetta has been a couponer forever," Davis said, "and I had gone to a Title 1 conference, and they had mentioned teaching applied math through coupons."
She said she used to be embarrassed when her grandmother used coupons, but now understands the potential savings. Now using coupons is popular, she said.
The "Time to $ave" website provides Sharvetta with a springboard for lesson ideas and access to coupons.

New York City, April 18, 1911. Mr. David Eccles, Amalgamated Sugar Company, O g d e n, U t a h. My dear friend: I enclose you copy of each of the drafts of the answer now preparing, with the special request that you read over the following paragraphs in the Amalgamated answer: II, III, VI, X, XVI and XVIII, and the following paragraphs in the Lewiston answer: II, III, the latter part of V, XI and XII. In these paragraphs you will observe that we have taken a little different shoot with the answers – especially so far as the Lewiston matter is concerned – and as I told you before, we will insist before the Court that even if Nibley should have succeeded in interesting Mr. Havemeyer in the first place, we would have claimed the property as being held in trust for the Amalgamated Sugar Company, of which he was at that time Vice President. I have also given reasons for our delay in the building of the factory until 1905, which seems to be the principal thing that the government is complaining about, and by which they insist that we cut out other competitors. Things are still very uncertain here in New York. We have had no intimation as to when the demurrer will be heard, and it is very likely that the government will wait for the Standard Oil and Tobacco decisions, unless they are willing to take a chance of filing a new complaint – as I think they will be ___compelled to do. In business circles things are very much depressed on Wall Street. I have had several talks with some of our friends, and it is evident that the bottom has not been reached by a good deal, and especially will this be true if crop conditions (which now seem favorable) should turn out otherwise. Even reports from the West and Northwest, I am told, are beginning to be discouraging, although up to the present time they have helped to give stamina to the market. I find that money is more than plentiful in all the banks, and rates of interest very low, but no use seems to be desired to be made of this money. While I notice we have plenty of money in the banks at home, I hope that we shall continue to be in that condition, because one never can tell what the result of this depression may be. I have no idea that the wool schedule is going to pass Congress this year, ____ although of course it ought to affect the price of sheep, and therefore we ought to invest pretty heavily in sheep for the ranch. On Friday I wrote and telegraphed David C about the Grand Opera house, after my talk with Mr. Meyerfeld of the Orpheum Circuit. If you will read that letter you will observe that there is very little doing in that direction, and that I recommended, upon the suggestion of Meyerfeld, that we close up with Mr. Cort for his shows, and then see what the Orpheum can do by way of filling in afterwards.Mr. Eccles, (2) April 18, 1911. I am really of the opinion, after talking the entire matter over, that the boys had better accept their losses as they now stand, because I am fearful they would be greater if they were to try to have the Orpheum Circuit pull them out; besides, you know I have no faith whatever in Garrett, and I should have very little reliance in his statements because he is evidently altogether too optimistic. I gather from my talk with Meyerfeld that Garrett had very much over stated conditions as he explained them to the boys. Personally, I believe that I am getting better; I am certainly sleeping much better, and as soon as we get through with the answer, I shall go right home. I regretted very much to hear of Earle Emmett's death, especially in view of the fact that I had so recently talked with him, and he seemed to be in the best of health. Please give my love to all the boys, and accept the same yourself. Yours very truly, Henry H. Rolapp

Saturday, 28 November 2009 | |

Champions were Chris Andrews of Sandusky, Ohio, in the 410 sprints, Bellevue, Ohio's Ryan Missler in the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Models; Paul Weaver of Fremont, Ohio in the Fremont Fence 305 Springs; and Tiffin, Ohio's Art Ball in the dirt trucks. Also honored were 410 Rookie of the Year Cap Henry of Bellevue, Ohio, and dirt truck rookie of the year Keith Sorg of Fremont. Andrews, a former national 410 rookie of the year, competed in 14 of the 17 A-mains in 2009, missing only an All Star feature, a World of Outlaws show and the June 12 feature. He scored 10 top 10 finishes and five top fives. He posted wins on March 27, July 3 and Aug. 7, and added a third place showing. His average feature finishing position was seventh. Missler, who also won a new Rocket Chassis thanks to Fultz Fabrications and Attica Raceway park, competed in all 17 A-mains in 2009. He posted an incredible 13 top 10 finishes and 11 top five runs. He scored wins on April 4, May 22 and Aug. 7 and added a runner-up finish and three third place showings. His average A-main finishing position was 6th. Weaver competed in all 17 A-mains in 2009, recording an incredible 16 top 10 finishes - his only non-top 10 was a 12th on June 5. He scored 8 top 5 runs including wins on April 11, April 17 and July 31. His average A-main finishing position was an remarkable fifth. Weaver now has 22 career 305 feature wins at Attica, moving into second on the division';s all-time win list. What a dominating performance at Attica in 2009 for the 71-year-old legend Art Ball. In the 9 feature events, he never finished worse than third on route to claiming his 4th ARP dirt truck championship and his sixth overall Attica title as he owns two street stock/limited late model championships. Ball posted wins on April 17, May 22, June 5 and July 17 to take his career total to 12 in the division. He also owns 23 feature wins in he street stock/limited late divisions. This year in the trucks, Ball had three runner-up finishes and a pair of third place showings to go with his four wins. His average A-main finishing position was a remarkable second. His championship is the 23rd in his 48-year racing career. It was also announced Goodyear right rear and left rear spec tires will be incorporated for the sprints in 2010. Following is a summary of the top 10 in points for each division in 2009: |
