As he tries to cement his newfound position as a leader in the Republican presidential primary campaign, Rick Santorum has embraced a favorite tactic among GOP pols: attacking the media. Complaints from Santorum and his aides that journalists unduly focused on the candidate's views on social policy have, at least, succeeded in making "Is the media ganging up on Santorum?" one of the storylines of the campaign.
The complaints are, for the most part, unfounded. Nate Silver of The New York Times has found that coverage of Santorum does, in fact, focus more on controversial social policy issues than does coverage of rival candidates. But there's a good reason for that: Santorum's positions on those issues are farther from current policy, and over the course of his career he's articulated those positions with an enthusiasm that suggests they would inform his approach to governance. Most contemporary presidential candidates don't make a point of talking about how they would prosecute hotel-room pornography from the White House, and most haven't given speeches about how Satan is destroying important American institutions, including religious institutions, in a "spiritual war." So some extra media attention to both Santorum's rhetoric and his substantive agenda on social issues is appropriate.
But that extra scrutiny needs to reflect careful attention to what Santorum is actually saying. In one recent episode, unfortunately, it hasn't. As The New Yorker's John Cassidy has already noted, this week's storyline—the continuing fallout from Santorum's "phony theology" remarks in Ohio over the weekend—has at times come untethered.
Via the conservative media watchdog site Newsbusters.org, here's what Santorum told a group of Tea Party activists in Columbus:
The price of fuel right now, they're talking maybe by the summer we're looking at $5 a gallon. Why? Why? Because this president systematically is doing everything he can to raise the price of energy in this country. He's shutting down all sorts of opportunities for us to drill for oil. He's now trying to infuse not science when it comes to the environment, not environmental science when it comes to drilling wells for oil and gas in Pennsylvania and North Dakota and other places that use hydraulic fracking.
He's trying to do again what he tried to do with global warming. Instead of using climate science or global science he uses political science. And political science in this case is suggesting that a technology that has been successfully used to drill hundreds of thousands of wells in this country, hundreds of thousands of oil and gas wells, all of a sudden now that's a dangerous technology. Why? Because it could lead to lower energy prices. That's the dangerousness of this technology. It doesn't fit his pattern of trying to drive down consumption, driving to drive up your cost of transportation to accomplish his political science goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
This is what the president's agenda is. It's not about you. It's not about you. It's not about your quality of life. It's not about your jobs. It's about some phony ideal, some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology.
This is admittedly a little hard to parse, because Santorum uses a handful of words differently than many people would use them. One of them is "political science," by which he seems to mean something like politicized science. The other is "theology," which he uses where many people might use "ideology." (In fact, the initial Washington Post blog post about Santorum's remarks misquoted him, putting the words "phony ideology" in his mouth instead.)
That choice—"theology" over "ideology"—and the following line about "not a theology based on the Bible," is consequential. Santorum is charging that Obama's policy agenda stems from a fully-fledged, coherent worldview that is not, as Santorum believes it should be, rooted in a correct understanding of Christian scripture. (This was the explanation he offered Sunday on Face the Nation, and it's consistent with his original remarks.) That's a substantive, politically important critique that reporters should interrogate.
It isn't, though, part of the shameful campaign waged by Obama opponents since 2007 to delegitimize Obama personally as somehow "other"—not truly American, not truly Christian, just plain not white, etc. Santorum was going after the environmental movement and its supporters (i.e., most of the Democratic coalition), not offering a coded attack on Obama.

"Delicious! I was looking for a new way to have sweet potatoes and this is a real hit. I've made them at least half a dozen times already. I wouldn't change the recipe at all, except I always double it to make enough for me and my husband."
"Simply put not the best sugar cookie I've ever had. "Not sweet" seems to mean to me that it needs more sugar. With 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp almond extract these were edible. These were MUCH better http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chewy-sugar-cookies/?scale=15&ismetric=0"

Grace Allen, known fondly as "Amazing Grace," celebrated her 100th birthday on Sept. 27 in the house she built with her husband decades ago.
"The whole front section (of the house) was a medical center," she said. "They came day and night."
Her husband. Dr. Jonathan Allen, who died almost 10 years ago, was a physician at CVPH Medical Center. But patients also came to their house, located within walking distance of the hospital.
Grace ran the clinic.
Ten years older than her husband, she was 39 when she had the first of her four sons.
Her children, David, Peter, Paul and Jonathan, kept her young, she said. She traveled the country, camping with them.
"I couldn't let them go without me," she said.
She also traveled internationally with her husband.
"We got back from our trips all over the world, and we always said, 'There's no place like home,'" she said. "We live in part of heaven right here; it's home."
Throughout her life, Grace wrote down her memories, and with the help of a daughter-in-law, compiled the writings with letters and family pictures to create two volumes, "How I Got to Be Me" and "How I Got to Be We."
"I was a writer by nature," Grace said. "After the boys went off to college, I wrote every week, and I always saved a copy of the letters."
Although she hasn't published her books, her family and friends have enjoyed the stories and the old family photos.
"My life is one grand story," she said. "Just wonderful."
Grace grew up on a farm in Michigan with two younger brothers.
"It (the farm) gave me the right beginning," she said.
Her earliest memories include the time her neighbor's sons returned from World War I, singing a popular song from 1919, "How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm."
"They were in uniform, and that impresses young girls," Grace said.
After studying at the University of Michigan, she taught math near Detroit before joining the Navy during World War II. While stationed in Washington, D.C., she met and married Jonathan, who was a Plattsburgh native.
The Allens moved to Plattsburgh to raise their sons, where Grace taught at Plattsburgh High School and was an avid member of the Plattsburgh United Methodist Church.
She still enjoys reading, keeping up on the news and learning something new every day.
"That's part of being alive," Grace said.
Her advice is to live one day at a time, and as a reminder to herself, a poem about living in the moment hangs on the wall in her living room.
Five women come to Grace's house to help care for her, though she can still get up and go on her own.
"They make such a difference in my life," she said.
Her dog, Sadie, also plays an important role in the household.
"Without Sadie, I probably wouldn't be here," Grace said.
"That's the way it is," she explained with one of her catch phrases.

"Exactly what I was looking for! And you just can beat 2 simple ingredients and 3 minute prep time. Perfect!!"
"This is one of my all-time favorite desserts! It's the reason I bought the cookbook. My family loves it, and now I have to make it more often since Luby's stopped carrying it here. (TX) I'm so glad you shared this online. Try it! You will NOT be disappointed!!"
"The flavors of the potato and cucumber recipes were very good separately, but I didn't get the combination even after tasting it. I do like the versatility of the potato recipe... lots of options. Make sure you REALLY grease the pans though... mine still stuck and ruined the overall effect. I'll make this recipe again, but separately. Thanks!"
"I made the recipe for my husband, who is Punjabi, but I have never personally tasted it before. I thought it tasted very good! Having said that, he liked it too, but then asked me to add in some pre-mixed masala to accomodate his unusually spicy tastebuds. I would definitely make this again and recommend it for others to try."
"Perfect! We picked fresh blackberries and I had so many I thought I would try a cobbler for the first time. The recipe was exactly what I needed: fast, easy, basic ingredients. I also used stars (for a birthday party) and it turned out fabulous! Posted 2 pics. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
"I made this at Christmas for my DH and guests who love slushy drinks. It tasted very good; I preferred it with more mixer but DH loved it with very little mixer. My only criticism... the color! It's a drab orangish-brown and not very visually appealing to guests. Tastes great though!!"
"Exactly what I was looking for! I accidently left the butter out and it still tasted great. My family said it was "superb" and gave it an A+ rating. THANK YOU for sharing this recipe! It was fast and easy to make with stuff I already had on hand. It doesn't get any better than that!"
"I was looking for a quick to make dessert that didn't include chocolate and I was pleasantly surprised when this recipe came up in the search results. I had never heard of it, but I was willing to give it a try since I happened to have all the ingredients on hand, and that NEVER happens to me. Fate, maybe? To cut to the results, the dessert was..."

"Absolutely delicious! Perfect balance - not at all too sweet or savoury.I didn't have seeds so didn't add any. Miss Two who will only eat something if it has crumbs on it :( LOVES them, yippee! Yes, chocolate does help I guess! I got 17 large muffins from my batch. Thankyou for posting."
"Delicious! Very moist, I got 24 x mini muffins. Cooked for 20 minutes at 180 as my oven tends to get a little too hot, but they came out perfectly! I inadvertantly added too much vanilla, but can't notice it!!"
"Very nice muffins - a hit with young and old in our house! I cut down the sugar to one cup as I don't have a sweet tooth at all. Recipe made 24 mini and 6 large muffins - thank you for sharing."
"Excellent idea... I would normally cook a pie or cassrole with my leftover roast, this was different and enjoyed very much by my family. I didn't have roast veg left over, so improvised cooking off some onion, carrot, garlic and mushroom and added some boiled diced potato and some smoked cheese I had. Took a little longer to cook (Was in for 40 mi..."
"Lovely simple loaf. I used SR flour, and mine rose beautifully. Found when I was mixing ingrediants I was out of oil, so used butter this time, hasn't been detrimental. Will try with oil next to see if it's different (or maybe stick with the butter as it's turned out so well!) Thankyou!"
"This meal was a huge hit with my family. It was easy to make, smelled and tasted delicious. Was very rich in flavour.I added a large tbs of tomato paste to the recipe.Servied with mashed potato and green beans, I will make this again for sure!"

Family science focuses on health family functioning within a family systems perspective and provides a primarily preventive approach. The skills and knowledge needed for healthy functioning are widely known: strong communication skills, knowledge of typical human development, good decision-making skills, positive self-esteem, and healthy interpersonal relationships.

The masters in Family Science prepares professionals to work with societal issues influencing the family; including economics, education, work-family issues, parenting, sexuality, gender and more within the context of family. Problems such as substance abuse, domestic violence, unemployment, debt and child abuse can be more effectively addressed from a perspective that considers the individual family as part of larger social systems.Knowledge about healthy family functioning can be applied to prevent or minimize many of these problems.
Students complete coursework to prepare for helping roles that focus on maintaining healthy families. The family science degree includes courses on parenting, family systems, child growth and development, family communication and relationships.
Concordia University's online Family Science degree program is approved by the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR). Graduates earn the international designation of Certified Family Life Educator.

My house sits on a slope. The garage is under the house with most of it under ground level. The garage has a garage door and a door with jalousy windows on the front... so the entire front side is exposed for entry.
I do see one area on where moisture seems to have found the block wall, but... Does this kind of "basement" require the same moisture/mold concerns as a true closed basement? Being from Florida, I know nothing about basements... I just moved to Tennessee. |

Your garage does sounds similar to a walk-out basement. Even though it's not living space, I would still try to address the moisture problems none the less. Investigate how the water is getting in and remedy. Usually, it's drainage or grading problems. Hopefully, some of the experts will chime in. -jasper |

Thanks. I guess I'm thinking that mold requires darknesss and steady dampness to get a foothold... and possibly a "closed" environment. Since a garage is usually very ventilated ("open"), I was thinking that mold would not be a problem... but now I'm guessing I am wrong on that. |

I guess my next question is: Does a walk out/garage basement benefit from a dehumidifier? |
don't think it would work with as open as a garage can be. i would look for drainage issues like jasper suggested. and increase ventilation and light: leave the door open diggerb |

Well this started looking very loli so I wasn't really expecting to have much interest in it But suddenly ... in the middle of Ep 1 ... it changed and it stayed changed (and the main protag loli ages herself 9 years) I'll call this a bishoujo coz they seem to have the need to have panty shots often - even to the point of deciding to sensor some of them Anyway the story is about Taito who has a recurring dream of making some form of a pact with a vampire when he was young (about 9 years before) ... until a sudden event occurs half way through the show and he finds that his dream might actually have been true ... Much more of the story would spoil the first episode coz there a few unexpected bits about it. I'd expect any objectional content list to include 'blood and gore' Seems so far that it could be interesting - just a pity about the rather regular and unnecessary panty shots (and the fact that the other 'girl' looks so young) There's a manga that been going for almost 2 years (but only 1 volume) and 2 separate light novels (7 & 3 volumes each) |

Ep 2 explains early on the number 7 they use in the English name of the show
(and also why Taito forgot) With a 15 minute reset also - hmm that would be nice (not sure why they don't use the proper show name though) "Well you always look like a bad guy" "An evil genius" lol Unfortunately they still seem to need to do regular panty shots with Mirai ... Animation in Ep 2 was pretty good in my opinion They didn't explain the 7th death but I guess it was maybe due to taking more than 15 minutes from the 1st? Otherwise they cheated Still not really sure where this show is going |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Marley!
Facts about Marley
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Marley's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, declawed, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Marley is a plump, handsome cat who lost him home due to a change in family living circumstances. He relaxes as a hobby and would love a new warm family. Marley is currently at the Warminster PetsMart. For more information, call Cat Tales at 215-933-6900.
Other Pets at Cat Tales, Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Marley, a Warminster Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Warminster, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Warminster.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Warminster already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Warminster breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Warminster paves the way for another one to be saved.

PTC ditches 3 police captains in 'reorganization'
Will add two patrol officers, enhancing half of city's 4 patrol shifts and saving $206K a year
The Peachtree City Council voted unanimously tonight to sack three captains as a part of a reorganization of the police department which makes it "leaner and flatter" according to Police Chief H.C. "Skip" Clark.
It took just over five minutes for the deed to be done, including a brief explanation from Clark and a few comments from some city council members who said they didn't like taking such actions.
Following the council meeting, one of those captains, Terry Ernst, said he was "not ruling out" a potential run for a seat on the City Council.
The other two captains being released from their duties are Capt. Rosanna Dove and Capt. Michael Claman. All three were part of the department's administrative and command staff.
The reorganization leaves the police department with just one captain on the organizational flow chart: Capt. Stan Pye.
Clark's proposal included the addition of two new patrol officers, which will only add coverage to two of the department's four patrol shifts. Councilman George Dienhart asked Clark to hold off on the hires "until everything shakes out with the reorganization."
Clark said it would be about three months before that process could be undertaken because of "other things on the table."
Getting rid of the three captains and adding the two new patrolmen will save the city a net $206,000 a year in salary and benefits, but that figure does not include the expenditures to equip the new officers with patrol cars, weapons and other required gear.
The three captains drove older decommissioned patrol units, which almost certainly won't be eligible to be passed down to the rookie cops because of their high mileage and maintenance issues.
Councilman Eric Imker said he wanted to make sure the city would provide recommendations to each of the released captains, and he added that he appreciated their work.
The reorganization leaves the city's fire department as the only department not yet to have been "reorganized" via a loss in personnel following the past several years of economic trouble due to decreased property tax revenues.
Clark said the reorganization was focused on improving accountability among department personnel and an increased focus on those who provide direct services to citizens.
Clark also noted that examiners from the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies recently commented that the department was more top-heavy than other departments it has reviewed, but CALEA's final written report has not yet been received.
Because the matter was of some controversy, Mayor Don Haddix opened up the floor for citizens comments, but no one in the audience rose to speak. Perhaps they knew it was too late to change council's mind.
Yep Chief Clark demonstrated real backbone when, according to the news clip, he hid from the media and retreated the scene in a get-away car. Check the video report on CBS News Atlanta's website in the Counties section and than in the Metro section. He didn't even have the courage to answer the media's tough questions. Now that's a perfect example of his openness and transparency with the media and PTC citizens. He could have at least told them that he has no comment. How humiliating. I wonder when he slithered back to get his car.
Start the reorganization from the top down. The FCBOE needs to do the same and this past week, they did start.
Not surprised about the mayors committee lack of clear objectives and a timeline. Typical of him not to provide any leadership. At least he will be able to say he did not fail. Hopefully someone on the committee will step up and take ownership. However, 1/3 of the group failed to attend the first meeting and no one set a schedule for the next meeting.
Think if I were you, I would take a step back and not be part of this until there are clear goals and timelines. The mayor set this up and is not providing leadership so that if a positive recommendation is received, he can take accolades for forming this committee, and any not so positive outcomes will give the mayor an out as he will say that this is what the people want so that he can blame others for the tough choices.
It looked like there were some people stepping up to provide leadership. If this committee succeeds, the accolades will belong to the commitee members alone- not the politicians.
The Committee has a mission statement in place, has already been gathering data and is doing its job.
Councilman Dienhart is not part of the committee in any way nor will he be.
He was only there for a small part of the first meetings, so he really cannot speak to what came out of that meeting.
I deliberately created a large committee because no one can make every meeting due to work and other conflicts. So, 8 attended the first meeting and it will go on a varying time schedule to accommodate others after a couple of more weeks.
The second meeting has already been held and the third is scheduled for next week.
Both you and Councilman Dienhart are wrong.
Let the Committee work and judge the results.
Enough said until that time.
You are not in charge.
Spyglass, very wrong, I am in charge of the Committee. Council has no authority over it.
Read the Charter.
He can form a committee that has no powers whatsoever and can pick who he wants on this committee that has no power! Everyone else like fellow councilmembers and citizens need to recognize this awesome power he wields as Mayor! Remember, he's not just one vote of several, he can form committees all by himself! So much power it's amazing they had to cut his salary. He should be paid at least a mil a year with the awesome powers he is given by the city charter. Look, he gets to sign documents,form his very own powerless committees, attend ribbon cuttings that he takes sole credit for, get outvoted, censured, sued and run his mouth here. He's really underpaid for all of those incredible "powers" he has.
Mr. Mayor, I didn't know you had a sense of humor. Dear god, please bless this courageous group of volunteers and give them leadership from within. Amen
You don't get it.
man that can't control his tongue is not in charge of anything. A man that doesn't take personal responsibility for his actions is in charge of nothing. A man that spreads discord among his fellow citizens is in charge of nothing.
To be in charge Mr. Haddox, doesn't require a city charter, it requires leadership and respect, character traits that you sadly lack.
I said it before and I will say it again -
More Patrolmen, less Captains.
I have never seen such a small town where the police so routinely drive around during broad daylight and harass their citizens. Trimming the fat is probably a good thing.
Oh - and I agree - that is one hell of a paragraph up there. Who in the world has the time to read all of that? :) Someone is obviously connected to one of the three that got fired and thinks the general community is going to sympathize with them... Boo-Hoo.
So I just watched Channel 46's coverage of the vote - they made a point to stand in front of Chief Clark's car and advise that he "ran away" instead of answering their "tough questions".
Any way you slice it, it doesn't look good.
If it looks, quacks, and walks like a duck, it may be a duck! Chief Clark's ditching of the three Captains is suspicious to a lot of people. If discovered that he has a hidden agenda in any part of this ruthless act, his credibility should be questioned and it would be time to quit supporting him as the Chief of Police.In my humble opinion he may have used reorganization, budget reduction, and now the Commission on Accreditation as an excuse for getting rid of these Captains. Is anyone really naïve enough to believe CALEA Assessors came to Peachtree City and officially told Skippy that his department is top-heavy without a little prodding? Since failing miserably in his original recommendation earlier this year, it appears now that CALEA has been dragged into this circus? Because he used the CALEA Assessors as part of his justification for reorganization, Council or the media should contact CALEA to verify the facts of this conversation. If Chief Clark misled City Council, employees, or any Peachtree City citizen in anyway or at any time, he should go. And for goodness sake Chief Clark, once and for all consider leaving Chief Dekmar to run LaGrange's Police Department and not yours. If you can't do the job, give it up to your new Assistant Chief. I hear his work will not be effected by misperceptions concerning others being threats to his position. I hope you understand that you are not invincible. You're authority does not grant you almighty power or entitlement, nor do you have unfettered ownership of employees or the department. Understand that you can be replaced just as quickly as you ousted your Captains. I hope you didn't trade your Captains for better technology. That could have waited or you could have purchased it with all that money you've been seizing. Truth be known, you could have funded a good portion of one Captain's positions by temporarily eliminating out-of-state training and temporarily cutting the officer's college tuition payments. Additionally, if times are truly that hard, you and the new Assistant Chief could drive vehicles that are already assigned to your fleet. It's understood that you need new patrol vehicles for the field officers, but I hope this year's budget does not include any new administrative vehicles, especially for you. I agree with the blogger who referred to the fact that you should have never hired a new Assistant Chief knowing that you were about to ditch your Captains. These officers have given fifteen to twenty years of service to the department each and helped make it everything good that it is today. I might add that many of the programs were in place long before you arrived. Several of these Captains met or exceeded the required education levels and job skills for Assistant Chief. If these Captains did not satisfy the Assistant Chief's job description, than you sir failed in your job. Your job is to ensure that each Captain has the skills and abilities necessary to take charge, even during your many absences. If one of the Captains was promoted to the Assistant Chief, it would have left only one Captain's position to be absorbed in another position. We all know that Captain Ernst was eligible for retirement and the other Captain could have remained status quo. It says something about you when you didn't even try. City Council needs to watch your budget closely next year and the year after. If the reorganization and cost savings do not significantly accomplish what you've outlined as justification for ditching the Captains, than you should be fired for misleading the citizens of Peachtree City and City Council. That sounds fair to me.
That translates to "Too Long; Didn't Read".
I don't have any idea whether I agree with you or not...
That's one heck of a paragraph.
That our police chief has a backbone.
I thank all of the Captains for their service to our community and am thankful we had such dedication.
I am also certain that hey will find employment with their backgrounds and commendation from our council.
Why bring in an outsider from the chief's own backyard as Asst Chief rather than promoting one of the long serving Captains. That kind of move kills moral. By the time everyone is equipped the savings will disappear in the wash and those who remain will be demoralized believing no ones job is safe.
I posted earlier in the week that most wanted the schools to start reorganizing from the top down to help with the budget. The police chief decided he could reorganize from the top down and add patrolmen. I think this is the way to start.
I feel we do have a fine police force. My family and I feel safe. Mr. King, I disagree with you about seeing police vehicles parked in medians, high density areas, because in my mind, though they may not appear to be doing anything, but they are visible and do deter crime. In my opinion, the police could put an out of service vehicle in a different spot every day and this could also deter speeders.
Its a day late and dollar short for the mayor to form his committee. Its just a way for him to pass the buck when we do have to make the cuts.
Run Terry Run ya got my vote.
Terry does not think like that. Not a mean bone in his body. Agree that he is is good guy and a class act (ditto for Randy) but either one on city council would be a distraction from the serious business of docking Haddix's pay and allowing the section 8 senior's project to proceed. Hey, when does Racetrack open?
He can bring his class act to city council is what he can do. We need honesty and good guys in office. Why you trying to muddy the waters. I said nothing about firing skippy.
I guess you missed the sarcasm, but for the record both Terry and Randy know how the city actually works from the inside out, which I don't think is understood by council and certainly not the mayor. Both are good and honest people who would do their very best for the city. Coming up you have 1 mayor's position and Vanessa and Kim. Everyone agrees the mayor has to go and I think Kim will vacate her seat and go for it. She wins automatically, so that leaves her seat and Vanessa's. My vote for the ladies stuff would be put on hold if we have a female mayor - that's pretty cool.
BTW, the shunning of the mayor program was in full swing at the Dragon Boat Race yesterday. Pretty funny to watch. So many acted like they had no idea who he was. Maybe they didn't.
She's already on record as being in favor of MARTA. T-SPLOST and a helluva diatribe in favor of single-payer universal healthcare. I don't know if PTC will let her sneak by on those issues again. Imker won re-election, but Learnard may have to pay the price for the council discord that she's definitely played a role in happening.
Fleisch doesn't grandstand and simply goes about doing the job. Geez...what's her problem! :) I think she wins re-election easily and might even be unopposed because there will be people going after Learnard's seat in addition to Don's instead.
I wouldn't vote for kim unless it came down to her vs. Haddix. I'm hoping for much better and the people are out there. Randy Gaddo would have my vote and my financial support for that matter. CLASS would be a great addition to this Mayor/council and Gaddo would bring that in spades.
Sorely needed. And I would be happy and proud to have either one be the mayor and be the one who talks to new businesses considering a move to Peachtree City. Usually it makes sense for new people to run for a council seat to gain experience and let an experienced councilperson or planning commission member run for mayor. But then in PTC, we have a history of electing inexperienced politicians as mayor. Since Fred Brown (who was previously a councilperson) we have had Lenox (new), Brown II (new), Logsdon (new) and Haddix (damaged goods, but was in fact a councilperson for 2 years).
So, if Randy or Terry want to run for mayor and the other for one of the council seats - I think that's great. Just don't be stupid and both run for the same thing. We need 2 good people on council and only one is going to be the new mayor. Besides, if the current mayor gets multiple challengers, he is likely to get into the runoff where anything could happen. Brown had 6 challengers and bad as he was, he still got into a runoff with Logsdon.
I would support either Terry or Randy against any incumbent and would contribute financially. Might even overcome my adversity to campaigning and try to help with signs and voter education.
Sad this had to happen, and I hope that Terry Ernst does run for council.
Thank you to all 3 for your service to the city.
Truly sorry.
Perhaps if both Terry and Randy Gaddo run for Council, much of this behind the scenes maneuvering would cease, and both intelligent and logical budget restraint could take place. After all, the only serious cuts to the city came at the expense of facilities maintenance, and we all realize the detriment to the city's appearance.
Is it just me believing that adding an assistant chief alleviates the top heavy predicament now present at PTCPD?
Why not promote Pye to replace Dupree, retire Ernst, leave Clayman alone and put Dove over the CERT, CID, etc. even if she does so as a LT?
Savings roughly the same and no cronyism smell. Sounds like being close to Chief Murray wasn't a healthy thing in the PD.
How about nixing the 2 new patrol officers, or at least hold off longer and let's see if we really need them or until the mayor's committee report is in. 3 months is not long enough!
My answer is in the Council Brief for this meeting. Thanks!
Thank you for providing a link to your blogspot.
As for the committee, why do you see it as a political move. Most people believe he won't run for re-election after taking the $10,000+.
On that point, is city council working on legislation or a modification of the city charter so it is 200% clear, not just 100% clear on the procedures for city elected officials on how lawsuits are to be handled.
He thinks the general population supports him. I would be completely flabbergasted if he doesn't run again. I have had a series of meetings, and hope to close any loopholes.
Would you care to specify the process disagreement possessed by Captain Ernst? Should you care to answer in private I would understand.
Email me, and we can talk
Yes, there is life beyond and the sun will come out tomorrow. God bless our wonderful captains. Take it from this guy. He knows.
you notice his youtube video will not allow comments I wonder why. This guy was a hypocrite scumbag. Just my opinion.
That was really something productive - getting those scumbags off the street. He had a 14 year-old girl - who was actually a 30 year-old cop and McIntosh graduate trolling on the internet for guys willing to hook-up in Peachtree City. I figured after the first 3 or 4 the perverts would get wise to that scam and not fall for it. But they just kept coming, on and on, one after the other. Thought it would never end.
I had serious doubts Murray was guilty of anything. I thought he was just researching new techniques or something and the city manager and the mayor were out to get him because of some alcohol bust one or both were involved in. They all got drunk with Haddix one night at Y-knots and were chasing Annie McMennamin and Carol Fritz around ala John Riggins and Sandra Day O'Conner - remember that?
Why can't we start the pervert program up again? Might distract from the mayor's $10,000 drama. Might help us get some big fines to help our bottom line.
to our fair City myself.
Am I sure about what? The whole city knows about the dumping of Murray. And it had nothing to do with sex tapes. It had to do with drinking on golf carts and spilling wine on cops shoes. Look that up, too.
explain..I am open to education.
first off, Murray and everyone else in the city knew for years prior to this incident that everything was monitored on their computers 24/7. It was written city policy and several had been disciplined prior to Murray for violating the policy.
Secondly, a guy like Murray who was personally active in luring/busting Internet predators is going to have loads of sexually-oriented computer chat history and everything else.
I'm not making a call on whether it's a good idea to lure freaks to PTC parking lots to get busted and using resources to find them online, but this was a railroading of Murray who was negotiating to retire at that time and the city decided they didn't want to pay.
The "dump wine on shoes" was ex-city Mgr Bernie McMullen, a Fulton co middle manager goof that the Brown Council thought would be a good replacement for Jim Basinger. WRONG! He's the guy with the golf cart DUI that poured his wine out on one of our Major's shoes when they told him he couldn't have wine and drive a golf cart. Bernie the Moron also insisted that Murray be called at home and the officers refused to do that.
After that episode, relations between City Hall and PD broke down so much to the point that Logsdon took over oversight of the PD instead of McMullen, something that was against the city charter but no one really said much because it had become an unfathomable situation. Then, "sex" talk gets discovered on Murray's computer. Yeah, great times in PTC!
The wine dumping, yes, sure.
Why Brown dumped Basinger and hired McMullin - have no idea. Maybe it was the new-broom-yes-man syndrome. Who knows? I really dislike Steve Brown. And Steve Black and Steve Boone and Steve Reeves and Steve Rapson and Steve Ivory and Steve Butler and Steve McQueen and Steve Hawkings and Steve Allen and Stevie Nicks and Stevie Tyler and so on.
Actually kidding except for the first two - Brown and Black. Hateful destroyers of PTC. 1 brings section 8 housing into our fair city, the other fires all the good city employees and tries to shut down building and kills progress.
Dopes. Both of them.
Not sure what the purpose of that YouTube was. Seems a little self-centered, even egotistical. Maybe he's running for mayor somewhere. He sure has a lot of hobbies. Wonder if he ever learned to use a computer.

The University of Tulsa has named internationally respected legal scholar Janet Koven Levit as dean of the TU College of Law. Levit has served as interim dean since October 10, 2007.The appointment, effective immediately, makes Levit the first female dean in the college's history as well as the first dean drawn from among the college's faculty since the 1960s. She becomes the 36th active female dean of the country's 197 law schools. She will serve a college where 16 or 33 resident faculty are women as well as over 40 percent of the student body.During Levit's tenure as interim dean, the law school experienced marked success, including: • Producing a class of TU law students who had the state's highest passage rates during the February 2008 bar exam, • Earning national recognition for several students who were honored by such groups as the ABA and Phi Delta Phi, • Hosting such nationally acclaimed speakers as Hiroshi Motomura, Bryan Stevenson and Nina Totenberg, • Building strong relationships with business and industry partners that will provide unique scholarship opportunities for law students, and • Recruiting an incoming class that has the strongest academic profile in the college's history. TU President Steadman Upham said the leadership Levit has provided as interim dean made the decision to elevate her status an easy one."In a relatively short time, Janet Levit has guided the law school to impressive successes and through significant milestones," Upham said. "Dean Levit brings to her new appointment many distinguished qualities including leadership, scholarship and a focus on outreach that will play crucial roles in advancing TU's reputation among the nation's law schools. We are excited by the potential the college has under her stewardship."Levit's selection came after extensive consultation with law school faculty, law alumni, members of Oklahoma's legal community and respected community leaders throughout Tulsa and Oklahoma, said TU Provost Roger Blais."I think it speaks well of the College of Law that such a talented administrator and accomplished scholar grew from the ranks of our faculty," Blais said. Levit is an internationally recognized scholar in international law, publishing extensively in the areas of international commercial law, international human rights, and international trade and finance. She first served as a visiting assistant professor at TU from 1995 to 1997. From 1998 through 2002, Levit practiced law in Washington DC and New York as Assistant General Counsel of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, a well as in the private sector. Levit re-joined the TU law faculty as an assistant professor in 2002, was named an associate professor in 2003, and a professor of law in 2006. She became a tenured faculty member at TU in 2004.She earned her law degree in 1994 from Yale Law School, where she was book reviews and articles editor of the Yale Journal of International Law. She earned a master's degree in international relations from Yale University Graduate School in 1994, and a bachelor's degree, magna cum laude, in 1990 from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University (with a concentration in Latin American Studies).Levit said her goals for the law school are to continue the trends she began as interim dean, in particular setting the college apart from other regional law schools by offering top-tier students a law school experience that is excellent in all respects and by building upon TU's strengths in energy law, Native American law, and international law. "During my time as interim dean, our law school team developed a clear and concise strategic plan to streamline operations and align our resources with identified priorities," Levit said. "In the coming years, we will carry out that plan, which focuses on three key areas: improved student quality, enhanced faculty reputation, and a remarkable student experience. We have already seen advancements in each of these categories, and the TU College of Law now has before it an unprecedented opportunity to capitalize on that progress." Levit thanked President Upham, fellow college deans and the entire TU community for continued support of the law school and its students.Levit and her husband, Ken, have two children: Nathan, 10, and Rebecca, 6.

Go Version 1 Released
Re:Rube Googleberg Machines? (186 comments)
I was quoting Russ Cox
Announcing: Slashdot Deals - Explore geek apps, games, gadgets and more. (what is this?)
We are sorry to see you leave - Beta is different and we value the time you took to try it out. Before you decide to go, please take a look at some value-adds for Beta and learn more about it. Thank you for reading Slashdot, and for making the site better!

Re:Rube Googleberg Machines? (186 comments)
Please re-read the quote, there is no claim of execution performance. The quote was entirely about the time it takes for a proficient hacker to write a program in the three languages.
Re:Time to Give Go Another Look (186 comments)
Just skip through the tour: http://tour.golang.org/ until you find something interesting to play with.
Re:Rube Googleberg Machines? (186 comments)
I don't think you fully grok what they have achieved. Google employs only a handful of people who work on Go, and probably not all them work full time on it (though maybe that's not true lately in the last release cycle).Let me give you a quote from an accomplished (hint, you use his code every day) C & C++ hacker on using Go:
"In my experience Go is probably 5-10x faster than C or C++. I estimate that programs that take me half an hour to write in Go would take me about 2½ hours in C and 5 hours in C++."
Then when you only have to wait about 10 seconds or so for the whole Go std library *and* all your own libs and binaries to build, you can see it's value over waiting for large C++ projects (of which Google has many) to build.
Re:Pi is wrong on the main site (186 comments)
// It is an unreasonable way to calculate pi.
Re:Beard? (186 comments)
At least one does: http://googleblog.blogspot.fr/2011/05/japan-prize-honors-googler-ken-thompson.html
Re:Wake me (186 comments)
So write in Go and import the C libs.
Re:Wake me (186 comments)
And what you consider non trivial must be very different from the rest of the world if all you ever do is reach for python.
Re:Go has some good ideas (186 comments)
The style, or your preference for a particular style, is not important in the least. What's important is the consistency. Really... *nobody* cares what style *you* prefer.
Re:Wake me (186 comments)
What's the point in that? Go is very expressive. Just write in Go instead of Python.
More accurately, your mirror is slow (1 comments)
download.opensuse.org dynamically redirects your request using MirrorBrain so it's probably more accurate to say that the mirror geographically closest to your IP address is slow. As always, the fastest way to get openSUSE is via metalink but of course this needs a metalink capable downloader such as Aria2 or KGet. Pick your preferred iso image from here http://software.opensuse.org/112/en and select the metalink option.
Re:Probably not (301 comments)
YaST package management is lightning fast now, I'll wager faster than any apt based tool. How YAST/Zypper became fast Package management using zypper, is probably faster and more memory efficient than any other linux package management tool. How efficient zypper really is openSUSE is a now generations ahead in package management. In my not so humble opinion.

"With Social Republic at an embryonic stage, the website development project was always going to be one that would call for flexibility and a willingness to explore and evolve ideas rather than work from a rigid brief.
My initial feelings were that the project would be best handled by a large agency with a team of specialists and so I engaged a firm with a blue chip client base that assured me would be exactly the right agency for the project. However, a skills deficit emerged and some six months later I returned to my original list of potentials, one of which was Core Media Design. I had never doubted their competence, professionalism and quality of work, so I signed on the dotted line and the project to create Social Republic.net initiated again.
I needn't have worried because immediately it became apparent that my primary needs: for input, direction and flexibility; were going to be met: full on.
Sebastian collaborated brilliantly and stayed with the project tenaciously as its course naturally progressed. I was conscious that this way of working may test a developer with the changes in direction, but Sebastian patiently supported the discovery process and contributed highly valuable guidance that was commercially and technically sound.
Sebastian is testament to the fact that you don't need to pay London prices to enjoy high level technical ability, gifted design talent, flexibility and commercial awareness. With Sebastian you get all of this, wrapped up in a personable individual. A pleasure to do business with."
by David Chapple
"As a small business requiring a website but with very little website knowledge, we were fortunate to find Core Media Design. Sebastian looked after us from the outset with patience and care.
The work was brought in on time and the results were just what we wanted. We recommend Core Media Design without reservation"

Anvers Associates (www.anvers.co.uk)
"We write today to confirm that we have found the product and service provided by Core Media Design to be efficient, professional and to a high standard.
During the initial inception of ideas regarding our website the designers were very keen to know what type of designs we were looking for as well as making current market trend suggestions to us.
Once the site was ready to be viewed we were more than happy with what we saw that only a few administration changes needed to be made.
This gave us the confidence that the site Core Media Design was producing for us was going to fit exactly what we needed from it.
Once the site was live we have found the after care excellent too and the designers have been more than helpful where needed and because of all of this we would happily recommend Core Media Design to anybody we know who is looking to have a website created."

"When PMW went looking to change its image it needed a website that displayed all of the things PMW can offer.
We weren't just looking for something flashy but easy to use, easy to see, and easy to update.
Having a fast moving PR wing made updates very important for us. We sent out a few emails inviting companies to show us a presentation of their interpretation of what our company offered from our existing old website. We shortlisted 10 companies. We watched all 10 presentations and from the moment Sebastian and Core Media Design walked in, they not only nailed the presentation we were looking for but they made it look simple.
CMD then backed it up with unprecedented training and customer support. There are certain moments that we make decisions where it could go right, or it could go wrong.
Making the decision to go with CMD was one of the best decisions our company has made and showed us that there are still honest, hard working, and great companies still out there. Great job CMD and keep it up."

Communications Director at PMW Communications (www.pmwcom.co.uk)
"Sebastian at Core Media Design recently upgraded my website, converting it to a database engineered site and giving it a complete facelift. I couldn't be happier with the results - my expectations were exceeded. Sebastian is a delight to work with, considering all my requests and offering advice when needed. He keblue me informed every step of the way, letting me know as each change was completed and providing a link for me to see myself in order to give feedback. I changed my mind slightly on a couple of items and Sebastian took it all in his stride and altered the design as per my requests. Any minor teething problems were quickly corrected to my satisfaction. I would recommend this Company whole heartedly and have already started on a second project with them."

"I worked with Sebastian from Core Media Design on the design of my retail web site and have no hesitation in recommending Core Media Design for your project. I have been incredibly impressed with the service and help I have received. I had a clear idea of the design I wanted and Sebastian was happy to work towards this design with me, he suggested some excellent ideas, but did not try to impose his ideas. The process of design was very much a dialogue with Sebastian keeping me informed via email and links to the work. I was able to see the design in progress and comment on changes I wanted. He was always accessible responding to emails quickly. It was also important to me to be able to load products on to my website myself and Sebastian took me through 2 tutorials and provided video links for me to use at home. I am very pleased with the final result and would certainly use Core Media Design again."

"We are extremely pleased with the website provided for us by Core Media Design. It is everything we hoped for - and more. The good thing about this project was that the job was handled very quickly and efficiently - the site was live within seven days of our making an initial inquiry. But the quality and customer service were not compromised in any way by the speed of the operation. We found that CMD's staff were meticulously thorough in their approach, very patient when we needed changes or had questions, and went many extra miles for us by making sure we got what we wanted and were satisfied with our product - nothing ever seemed too much trouble. I would have no hesitation in recommending them wholeheartedly - they are quick, efficient, have sound business processes and clearly know what they're doing."

He even chased me up to view the changes before he submitted them! His work was excellent and I would be very happy to recommend Core Media Design to anyone who wants a trustworthy and reliable service. Sebastian was also good enough to spend some considerable time on the phone offering suggestions and advice regarding the internet and how to best utilise the tools available to us. I shall not hesitate to use Core Media again and feel somewhat relieved to have found an 'honest' service in such a virtual market place."

American League victory adds to Derek Jeter lovefest
MINNEAPOLIS — The all-Jeter-all-the-time All-Star Game started off the way it was supposed to Tuesday night when Derek Jeter dove to his left for a shot off Andrew McCutchen's bat, righted himself and rifled a throw to first.
The fact McCutchen legged out an infield hit made no difference.
The retiring Yankees' uniform was dirty and the Target Field lovefest officially had begun.
The American League wound up with a 5-3 victory before a crowd of 41,048 in one of the more entertaining All-Star Games in recent memory.
Angels star Mike Trout was named the Most Valuable Player, going 2-for-3 with a double, triple and two RBIs.
Trout said Jeter spoke to his AL teammates before the game, just to say thanks.
"We should be thanking him," Trout said. "What he brings to the game. And he just tells us it goes by quick and for us to enjoy every moment of this, with being together with the best in the league."
Jeter wound up 2-for-2 with a run scored before being removed after taking the field in the fourth. White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez replaced Jeter and gave him a big hug, igniting another crescendo of applause, the doffing of the cap, more dugout love and a curtain call as a recording of Frank Sinatra singing "New York, New York" blared over the p.a. system.
"I wasn't expecting it, but the manager came up to me and told me I was going to go into the game in the fourth inning," Ramirez said. "It's such a great honor to have that moment, such an American baseball legend. I was nervous when I was told to go out there and take the place of a baseball legend. I had to take off my hat and show my respect. It was a great moment."
It was a fitting farewell to the face of baseball, a Hall of Famer-in-waiting who will be difficult to replace after 20 seasons.
"I'll miss all of it," Jeter said. "I'm pretty sure I will. I've been doing this since I've been, what, 5 years old and playing baseball. And when I finish I won't be doing it, so I'm sure I'll miss the competition, but the time has come. This is the end of the road for me."
After a taped introduction from late Yankees announcer Bob Sheppard, Jeter received a long and loud standing ovation, from players and fans alike, before his first at-bat leading off the first. He promptly doubled to right on Adam Wainwright's first pitch, a 90 mph fastball. Mike Trout followed with an RBI triple and Miguel Cabrera lined a two-run homer to give the AL a quick 3-0 lead.
But Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester was rocked in the top of the second, giving up back-to-back RBI doubles to Chase Utley and Jonathan Lucroy. After Jeter's farewell, the NL tied the game in the fourth on a two-out walk from Chris Sale and Lucroy's second RBI double.
With two on and one out in the fifth, the AL went back in front on Trout's run-scoring double past Aramis Ramirez off Pat Neshek, and added another run on Jose Altuve's sacrifice fly off Tyler Clippard.
Jeter was able to enjoy the final six innings, and even gave Trout some grief over coming out of the game.
"He said he wanted me to play nine innings," Trout said with a laugh. "He said I'm 22 years old coming out of the game, it's the sixth inning. I should be playing nine. He is messing around with me. It's all fun. It's special for me. Chills, goose bumps, you name it. Everything was running through my body."
So the Jeter Farewell Tour goes on, and it's only going to gather steam as the Yankees head down the stretch. He got the perfect send-off on Tuesday, and now it's up to Jeter to deal with the hoopla the rest of the year.
"I'll try not to mess it up the next couple of months," he said.
