High Court sides with fired Vernon police chiefMONTPELIER The Vermont Supreme Court ruled Friday the Vernon Select Board had inadequate justification when it fired Police Chief Kevin Turnley in 2009.
The high court didnt order the reinstatement of Turnley, who had been chief for three years when he was fired in November 2009. But it said police chiefs deserved protection from personal dislike, political disagreement or reasons of that nature.
The Select Board claimed Turnley had knowingly lied to the board about when he knew a low-level sex offender had recently moved to Vernon.
But both the Vermont Supreme Court and the Windham Superior Court ruled that the town did not make a case for firing the veteran police chief.
While Turnley was found to have made inaccurate statements regarding the sex offenders move to Vernon, the court said there was no evidence in the record to confirm that the statements were made with knowledge of their falsehood.
Nowhere in its report does the board make an explicit finding regarding the chiefs mental state or intent with respect to those inaccurate statements, the high court ruled.
Lawyer Sharon Annis of Brattleboro, who argued Turnleys appeal before the Supreme Court but is no longer his attorney, said Friday the decision would establish precedent for firing a police chief.
I think this decision provides police chiefs in Vermont with significant protection, Annis said. The decision says you have to have a good, substantial reason to fire someone.
He didnt ever lie, he just didnt remember when, said Annis. Does that make him dishonest? The Supreme Court says no.
The ruling could set a precedent, she said, because there is little Vermont case law on the issue, she said.
According to court records, Turnley received an email from the state Department of Public Safety on Aug. 13, 2009, stating that a low-level sex offender someone who had criminal , sexual misconduct with a minor had moved to Vernon. The chief on Aug. 14, 2009, asked a police clerk to put the email notice in the departments offenders book.
But at a public meeting Oct. 6, 2009, Turnley said he had only learned about the offenders residence a day or two earlier. In a followup meeting, Turnley said he did not recall getting the August email. Turnley declined to comment on his future plans, or whether he would seek reinstatement. Since his firing, he said, he has been unable to find employment anywhere.
Mary Beth Hebert is Vernons police chief now, and it is unclear how Turnley could be reinstated if he were to seek that.
We still have a long ways to go; I cant speculate, he said. Im very happy with the Supreme Court decision and I feel vindicated.
Annis said the town of Vernon had engaged in character assassination of Turnley. She said that Turnley would be entitled to 3½ years of lost wages, plus damages.
The Vermont high court quoted a New Hampshire case, and wrote: Our standard is not whether we would have ruled differently, but whether a reasonable person could have reached the same decision as did the (board) based upon the evidence before it.
There must be substantial evidence to warrant a chiefs firing, the high court ruled.
And while the Select Board seeks to enjoy the deference accorded to a quasi-judicial body, it must comply with the requirements imposed on other judicial organs, the ruling said.
Turnley, who had been a Vernon police officer for 15 years before he was made chief in 2006, said Friday he felt exonerated by the high courts decision, which affirmed a decision by Windham Superior Court Judge Katherine Hayes.
Hayes said Vernon did not properly make a case for firing the chief and did not follow Vermont law concerning a police chiefs dismissal.
Annis worked for the McCarty Law Office at the time of the Turnley case. William McCarty, who represents Turnley now, couldnt be reached for comment Friday.
John Leddy, an attorney with McNeil, Leddy & Sheahan, a Burlington law firm, who represented Vernon in the suit, said he hadnt been able to talk to Vernon officials and declined comment.
Patricia ODonnell, the current chairwoman of the Vernon Select Board, but who was not on the board in 2009, didnt return a call for comment.

As an Indian Voter
I face a horrible choice in the next elections?
Who and How to vote for on a national platform?
Economist should do a major story on Arvind Kejriwal
The first genuine transformational development in Indian Polity.
May he taste success in plenty.
Kejriwal is buffoon he want to increase only chaos in India,he have no positive program .India need inspirational leader who can create a new weave in mind of youngsters,make them more creative.India is struggling between old norms and new norms .youngsters must throw way old norms and adopt new norms.India need psychological revolution, when Indian youngsters ready for psychological revolution India will be world power within some years
Do you not think Mr. Kejriwal is helping with the 'psychological revolution' you mention?
Watching him dealing with the 'curlies' (devious allegations) thrown at him by the UPA government, his detractors, such as Dikh-Avijay Singh, I am not sure that I would view him as a 'bufoon'.
Without him none would have known of the irregularities in the 'business' activities of Robert Vadra or the irregularities in the set up that Mr.Gadkari is responsible for or in the NGO run by Mr.Salman Khurshid and his wife.
Prior to Kejriwal's efforts, I had not come across any media articles on it, although it seems that some paper had published some short feature on Vadra in 2010.
Nor did anyone raise Vadra sweet deals in Parliament before.
What he is exposing about Vadra, Gadkari, and salman Khurshid were already published in Times of India and India today.Kejriwal is selling old wine in new bottle.Ambani is governing on Indian government from Indira`s regime.Everybody know how Ambani became billionaires within small period without help of ruling party no Industrialist can do business in India.Ambani is pet of BJP,Congress from very beginning.Why Ambani paid entire medical bill of Pramod Mahajan, why he brought special doctor from England for him?Please make habit to read regularly daily news paper
Mohandas Gandhi made the biggest contribution in the making of the Nehru dynasty by single handedly getting Nehru nominated by the then Congress Party as the first Prime Minister of India. Today when India needs a charismatic leader, the non-charismatic Rahul decided to shun the opportunity and wait it out for better times to claim it for himself - Looks like a good gamble but India is fast drifting in the choppy waters of regional and international geo-econo-political powerplays and is in urgent need of a commanding, charismatic and strategic leader and shunning leadership role in these difficult times does not speak good of Rahul.
Yes, India is drifting towards very choppy waters, with the captain of the ship sitting in meditation in his room, waiting for the on-shore owners of the ship to give him 'instructions'.
Rahul Gandhi tried his best in the last U.P. state elections to swing the state back to congress. He failed. That may have shattered his confidence.
Who will lead to Congress after retirement of Manmohan Singh?I think this is not crucial question.Same question was asked after Nehru who?Indian democracy is now quite mature,and not depend on one leader to lead the nation.Why Rahul declining to lead the congress?He has no self confidence, he did not came in politics with struggling he was imposed,and he know his limit that why he want to remain on edge
A banal move to hang on to power in view of the 2014 poll.The BJP is no better shape than the Congress Party.Any progress made by India economically in these difficult times will be inspite of its corrupt,cynical leadership.
While we take pride in being the 'biggest'democracy in the world - biggest, to my thinking, refers to the numbers alone - there is nothing big about it in spirit. We choose our own dictators every five years. We have 'freedom of speech' but only in letter. We see this freedom manifest when Salman Khurshid provokes his adversary to visit his constituency and also 'return' ( I think he meant 'return in one piece') but when a whistle-blower brings corporate or governance malpractice to light, the voice is silenced forever. We have 37% candidates in H.P who never filed IT yet they have enough money to fund their campaigns. The media in the country is outfoxing fox and making public opinion sway like marionettes. We have talkers when what we actually need are doers. We are a nation of charades, sick of its petty system of dynastic politics and corruption yet we bring the so called democracy to a parade at 'Ramlila Maidan'. Truth of the matter is we've had too much of this pseudo-democracy. We need change. 'Real' change.
Yes, there is merit in your assessment.
"We need change. 'Real' change."
There lies the rub!!
India does not have a 'revolutionary spirit', nor does it have an army that would consider a 'coup-d'Etat', as has been the case in Pakistan and B'desh [ - not that such take-overs did any good to those two cousins of India - in some respects they may be worse off than chaotic and lame-duck democratic India].
The Anna Hazare Movement thought they would get an OMBUDSMAN - a very successful European Institution, which works to guide Public Opinion in clarifying corruption amongst officials.The Annual Ombudsman Reports are very valuable guides in the three Scandinavian countries - Sweden had invented the institution 200 years ago.
Some how the congress media - which is what most of India's media are - used 'recoil'tactics to absorb and silence the Anna Hazare Movement.
I mean by that they gave publicity to his Movement but at the same time sowed seeds of dissent within it, publish many false, groundless allegations against Anna himself [he was discharged from the Indian army 'dishonourably' and so on]
Mr.Arvind Kejriwal, in my view, an intelligent and courageous man, may have hoped for something like the 'Arab Spring' in Egypt that brought down the Mubarak regime.
He changed track by forming a political party, when he sensed the devious tactics the Establishment media were using against him - allegations, manufactured by the UPA govt., and aired freely by the media.
Thoughtful and courageous individuals such as, Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal, Baba Ramdev and others are easily blunted by this CORRUPTION RAJ.
The 'system', the 'Raj' is more firmly entrenched in India, and more adament in maintaining the CORRUPTION RAJ, than in Egypt, Libya and Syria.
The failure of the 'Civil Society' Movements leaves India with two alternatives:
Electoral support for incorruptible, successful administrators such as Mr.Narendra Modi and Shivraj Chouhan (CM of Madhya Pradesh).
Or, the Naxalite Way.
The first possibility is doable and would change the system without much pain.
The second possibility is not doable in the short or medium term and may succeed in changing the 'system' but with a great deal of death and destruction.
With all due respect indica, are you a smooth talking PR guy/gal for NaMo trying to bury his skeletons under the carpet? Pardon my cynicism,it's a peculiar disease that affects most of us in this country, and I'm sure you suffer from it too. Your analysis is spot on and contains some merit, but I can not help but question your anonymity. We need people like you to come out in open and lead the torch of revolucion.
Hasta la victoria siempre!
P.S. I'm not trolling, have an open mind.
Turned detective, have you? Seeking to 'out' a 'Modi supporter'...!!? You need not have bothered.
My posts, 'smooth' or not, are clear enough.
I use simple, plain English, maintaining decency in communication but without seeking to hide my meaning.
I don't have any partisan or personal or party interests, other than in recognising,
a) the good work done by someone like Mr.Modi - if he ceases to perform well, my interest in him also ceases,
b) India has been a serious under-achiever, since 1947 - it is a byword for 'poverty' and 'misgovernance', now for some of the dirtiest cities in the world,
c) India is a nation of talkers who cannot take their eyes off the money, but turn vague in identifying problems and solutions, turn vague, sadly, in recognising good performers who deliver value,
d) Indians specialise in mutual, groundless suspicions and pointless quarrels. Issues that are straight forward enough in most other countries turn into raging, wordy, controversies in India,
e) Indians are very good at 'running around in circles, jabbering away, without ever getting anywhere in particular,
f) it is a miracle that India manages to survive at all,
all of that makes me recognise/admire someone like Mr. Modi as a 'performer'.
Several 'special investigation teams', several 'inquiry commissions' and several activists, such as Teesta Setalvad, have been examining Mr. Modi's cup-boards, looking for skeletons.
So far, they have not found any, it seems.
If they find any skeletons, I will NOT be burying them at all. I will be happy to display them, examine them.
Tell me sir, what happened to the skeletons from the ASSAM RIOTS, ANTI-SIKH RIOTS, GOPAL GANJ RIOTS?
Are you aware of those skeletons? If so, would you know who has been burying them, out of sight?
Thank you for your invitation for me to carry the torch of 'revolucion'.
I think Mr. Anna Hazare and Mr. Arvind Kejriwal are doing a good job.
How would I know what happened to the skeletons from the ASSAM RIOTS, ANTI-SIKH RIOTS, GOPAL GANNJ RIOTS dear sir?
I'm your unfeeling 'chalta-hai' type Indian - as identified by you in point (e) - who has lost all hope in the system and beating around the bush on things that matter such as, cleaning up the Ganges. Unimportant things like 'whodunit' don't impress me much, we've had enough of pointing fingers.
Let's not make it a snarkfest. Let's not hope for 'revolucion'.
"ab bhi jiska khoon na khaula, khoon nahi wo paani hai"
In spite of the never before information era, we know so little about many of the newly appointed ministers. One misses the era of Nehru when people of eminence used to occupy the ministerial posts.
Old stinking & stale wine in shiny new bottles !
Yes, well said!!
But sections of the Indian Media are celebrating this 'jig-rejig dance' as a great sign of congress' resurgence!!
They are also showing anxiety over their 'bete noir' or 'whipping boy' 'NaMo' marching ahead in opinion polls, indicating not only a win for him in Gujarath but as the 'preferred Premier' for India in 2014.
They continue to nit pick and vilify him. Recently, he was campaigning in Himachal Pradesh, which goes to elections before Gujarath.
He called Premier ManMohan Singh, "Maun Mohan Singh" [ "Maun" in Hindi and in Sanskrit means 'silent'] - a play on his name which in its original means 'He who pleases (the heart)'.
There are articles appearing in such 'pseudo-secular' papers as The Hindu, Times of India, by such Congress Party hacks as 'Harish Khare' and 'Neena Vyas' complaining how NaMo is hitting 'below the belt'. Yet, these journalists cheered on everybody who called NaMo, such names as 'Hitler', 'Ravan' and so on.
NaMo is dead right in the points he makes. He was given 'no quarter'. He is now saying, "Do not expect me to give you quarter".
He has taken the sanctimonious Sashi Tharoor a peg or two also over the 'Kochi IBL fiasco', yet becoming a MoS again.
It is indeed agonising for an average Indian to find that there is no suitable candidate who commands universal respect among 1.2 billion people to fill the post of Prime Minister. The elder generation reflects with nostalgia on a past when the country had perhaps too many worthy candidates, men who were not only competent but had character also. A leader like the late C Rajagopalachari, who held several important posts, once said that often he was not able to select candidates otherwise qualified for important posts just because they were related or known to him lest he should be accused of nepotism. Now dynastic politics is the order of the day right from the top. We have new royalties who make hay while the sun shines. Maybe the Westminster system has run its course and it is time to think of the Presidential model of the USA. Although there are no national leaders one eternally hopes for someone to arrive on the scene and take charge of things.
India has not had as many quality leaders as the line up from 1920s onwards, right up to the late 1950s. That is not 'romanticising' the past.
1. Quality Leaders:
C. Rajagopalachari(Rajaji) or Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, qualified to become Premier of India. When Pandit Nehru was the eventual choice, neither of them gave out as much as a sigh or sulked.
Rajaji got down to work as did the Sardar in consolidating the nation.
No suggestion here that Pandit Nehru was any the less than the two, as a leader.
Point made is that these were people of quality.
Just as there is quality in things, from fruits, grains to gold, there are differences in quality between humans.
"For work of particular kinds, we are not all equal"
In today's India, almost every politician, with name-recognition, wants to be the Prime Minister!! Worse, the Indian Public CANNOT JUDGE QUALITY, even of excellent performers.
Nor does the 'SYSTEM' recognise MERIT or demerit of politicians. There lies the tragedy for India.
2. Political systems should be able to throw up good leaders:
The 'blue print' set in place in the first THREE DECADES of independence, had entrenched, 'dynasty, vote bank-caste-community, reservation-quota, licence-permit-NoC' as the foundation of India's POLITICAL ECONOMY.
Any real, capable LEADER has to show EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE to TEAR THROUGH this 'blue print' - to push his or her head above the morass of Indian political mud, bubbling with the fury of a few immature and ill-informed groups with vested interests in the prevailing CORRUPTION RAJ.
IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER DECADE OR MORE to transform this 'blue print' - a firm legacy of a dishonest, posturing political party that had retained power in India through 'divide and rule' - not through solid socio-economic performance.
The frustration is shared across the board in India. Yet as far as the article is concerned - it meant there is no suitable candidate within Congress. Outside Congress too there is a dearth of leadership - but I think this is the current state of world politics. Mr. Barak Obama was seen as a genuine leader, though I like him, we still have to see how history will judge him. How many leaders of today or last 20 years will be remembered 50 years from now in the same light as say Gandhi, Churchill, Thatcher or FDR? I can't think of any!
Congress may be running up against wall of anti incumbency. It is also very likely that congress may lose power because of lousy economy. But the opposition BJP is in even more precarious state. It does not have a central unifying figure (leader). Modi is disliked by state level BJP leaders who are not from west and some part of north India. The worst problem for BJP is that if it can't win now when the economy is slowing down, it may become impossible to win in future elections when economy is likely to grow at healthier rate.
Congress is aware of this and it will do everything to thwart BJP in the coming election. I feel in worst case congress will make sure that BJP does not get enough seats and forced in to a weak coalition.

There appears to be a overriding confidence in the new regime. Companies are investing in this economy. Companies such as the Schaeffler Group has initiated a plan of investing 15 billion Euros over the next 3 to 4 years in the country. The newest plant, near Savli, is green and concentrating on green effficiencies.
After Manmohan, Chidambaram for the next 10 years. There is no other.
In that case Chidambaram might just have to wait for the next decade.
In that case Chidambaram might just have to wait for the next decade.
Continued disappointment.
Kurshid should have been kicked out, instead they give him an important ministry.
6 ministers from AP, pathetic attempt to get back AP support in 2014.
The rest, at best are shameless lap dogs of the congress who will do anything to please the gandhi family.
where's the talent?
sad news for the country.
Indeed a shame and a big disappointment for the people of the country. Those with their names featured in scams get elevated to the ranks of foreign ministers.It gives a very wrong message to those aspiring to be politicians that if you want to make it big in politics you have to have the instincts of a highly corrupt person.
There is a slight correction here, Messrs Pilot and Tiwari have become Ministers of State (Independent Charge), which means that though they are not of Cabinet-rank, they are still the senior most ministers in their respective departments. So it would not be accurate to call them junior ministers.
Manmohan Singh's rejig is just another ploy to distract critics from the real issues. Getting rid of the previous bunch of deadbeats and replacing them with another bunch of deadbeats only prolong the agony for himself and India. What is needed are new policies not new deadbeats!
This article was ROFL stuff, starting from the first line and the SM krishna reference,to saying that salman khurshid is welcome as India's foreign minister, after he threatened to kill an activist on national media.
This article reminded me of a nice news agency
After reading this article, I strongly feel that I should stop reading The Economist now. No substance, No logic, No reality and on the other hand charitable approach for a failed unit.
There is a popular cartoon this week (from US politics but applies well to India too) that says " do you want to vote for the party you hate the most or the party you like the least?"
However much Congress screws-up and we keep reading about popular disaffection with it, someone like me can't seem to think it is time to vote for the principal opposition part BJP. Why? here's why--
1) Record --- For one, some of us voted for BJP in the past and didn't like what happened. Because what happend was NOTHING. Same old corruption, same old lack of any policy or action, same old dithering and bad or slow economic policies. What happened to the freshness, vigour, market-focused policies? Nothing
2) Corruption --- On corruption, if recent exposes on Gadkari, Vadra whatever are any indication then it simply a bi-partisan issue. BJP simply wants to win instead of Congress so they can make the money instead. If this is not true, convince me and the millions like me and I will vote for you
3) Shadow Control ---- On the issue of 'remote control' - well replacing sonia/family by RSS/parivar isn't my idea of free and transparent governance. Notice the word parivar means family in Hindi anyway.
4) Aggressiveness --- However much I like some thing sin BJP, I can't help but get totally put off by its aggression. It attacks Congress simply becuase of it being Congress. It walks off parliament instead of questioning the congress. It disrupts the democracy. It criticizes its own policies when Congress implements them (reforms, nuclear deal, etc). and worse of all, it says no without spelling out any alternative. It is simply disgusting. I would welcome if they try something like - 'we think Congres shouldn't do this but do that instead'. Wow perhaps I am dreaming because the real BJP so far is simply getting on my nerves for being disruptive without clear alternate ideas on any policy
5) Leader ---- Who is the leader in BJP? for god's sake don't say Advani.. why can't he retire in peace or make him some 'buddh purush' of sorts who sits on the party sofa like a non-executive chairman. What is it about BJP that they can't tell him to stop projecting himself like he is still the PM candidate. I suspect it is party weakness, confusion, lack of any alternates and general tussle between its junior team. wow, thats really attracting me to vote for you now !
6) Policies --- ok, so you don't have leaders. no problem. tell me your policies and how they are different from the Congress? How will that create social progress, economic growth and general well being? Do I hear anything? ok, i got nothing so far!
Well, I dislike Congress but I don't think BJP is any different and I don't think voting for a third party makes the slightest of sense. Yet the intellectuals still wonder why we have coalition government after coalition in India and small fringe parties hold the fray. The answer?
Because the people of India have given up and lost hope for returning good governance to power. They still have very deep hope in democracy and know that coalitions will continue to crawl and this is their best option.
The way to motivate the people isn't on religious or caste agendas or even regional agendas (sure some regional agenda helps). The way is to charge up people by showing them a future and actions that show a party taking steps towards that future. If some party can do that, India would vote for it. Congress or BJP, they don't win by their hardline supporters that speak on these forums often. They win when the 80% of Indians like me who are in the middle get convinced.
Hello bFLYQrwoTQ,
I think that although I and the common man share your feelings of nothing happening, there is a lot that happened behind the scenes in the 4 years of the BJP government
If you look at the world bank data,
1. we went from deficit to surplus,
2. inflation was low,
3. export oriented data was improving,
4. domestic consumption was improving,
5. employment was improving(This metric has always been going down in the congress tenure)
I think if you examine the larger context and the macroeconomic policies of the parties, and the leadership that they have, there is sufficient substance to vote for the BJP.
Few things that changed the course of India happened during 4 Yrs of NDA :
1. Affordable Housing: Push on retail home loan and reality sector.
2. Telecom
3. Roads: National Highways and Golden Quadrilateral.
Nothing of that sort in Congress tenure...
Agreed. The other aspect of it is leadership. Current govt. has no backbone in leadership to take strong decisions and sad to see that government agenda driven by non-govermental leadership. BJP OTOH, does posses some stronger leaders who may need a chance to prove themselves into power and Congress needs a time to shift its image (by staying in non-governmental role) to prepare beyond BJP's run next. If Modi can do half of what he has accoplished in Gujrath economically, I say its a no brainer.

News Highlights
More Information
The Alexandria Fire Department along with the United States Fire Administration (USFA) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) remind everyone that home fires are more prevalent in winter than in any other season. This is due in part to an increase in cooking and heating fires. Holiday decorations and winter storms that can interrupt electrical service and cause people to turn to alternative heating sources also contribute to the increased risk of fire in winter. Winter fires can be prevented! Learn more about maintaining a fire-safe home this winter season at USFA's website.
The Alexandria Fire Department wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday season. Each year fires occurring during the holiday season injure 2,600 individuals and cause over $930 million in damage. According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), there are simple life-saving steps you can take to ensure a safe and happy holiday. By following some of the outlined precautionary tips, individuals can greatly reduce their chances of becoming a holiday fire casualty.

Deep Fat Turkey Fryers
Deep-fired turkey has been a longtime food favorite in the southern United States. The deep-fried turkey popularity has grown to include the eastern United States and the City of Alexandria. While some people rave about this tasty creation, Underwriters Laboratories Inc.'s (UL) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPCS) safety experts and the City of Alexandria are concerned that backyard chefs may be sacrificing safety for good taste.
Deep-frying turkeys can lead to severe injury and even devastation by fire in the following ways:
To prevent severe injuries, burns and devastation by intense fire the cook should follow all of the manufacturer's recommendation and the following safety tips provided by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPCS):
Finally, as in every season, have working smoke alarms installed on every level of your home, test them monthly and keep them clean and equipped with fresh batteries at all times. Know when and how to call for help. And remember to practice your home escape plan.

Chen draws last start of surprising '13 in Chicago finale
White Sox lefty Quintana goes for double-digit wins, split series vs. KC
After the Royals were eliminated from playoff contention Wednesday, they could have shaken up their rotation for the last four games, but they chose not to. So that leaves veteran left-hander Bruce Chen to take the mound Sunday in the season finale, opposed by White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana.
Chen, a pending free agent, could have been replaced by prospect Chris Dwyer, who was recalled from Triple-A Omaha after the Storm Chasers won the Triple-A Championship.
"I just feel I'd be pushing Bruce aside and I don't want to do that," manager Ned Yost said. "He's been a big part of our second half. He deserves to start. He deserves to finish the year off on a good note."
Chen joined the rotation on July 12 and posted a 5-4 record with a 3.79 ERA in 14 starts. He's also held opponents to a .225 batting average and the Royals have won eight of his 14 starts.
"We've had a good season so far," Chen said. "But we want to finish with as many wins as we can, so when next year comes, we can say this is how many games we won last year and we want to win at least four or five games more than we won last year."
The Royals' 85 wins are the most since the 1989 team finished 92-70.
"I'm just glad that we were able to play this well and keep the city, the organization and everyone on the team involved and fighting to the end," Chen said.
The Royals won the first two games against the White Sox before a 6-5 loss on Saturday.
Quintana will take the mound riding a two-game winning streak in search of his first double-digit-wins season. He held the Blue Jays to two runs on five hits over 7 1/3 innings in his last start. He's thrown seven or more innings in five of his last seven outings. If he can record seven innings Sunday, he will join Chris Sale as the only White Sox pitchers to reach the 200-innings mark. He sits at 193 innings after 32 starts.
Royals: Yost plans to talk staffing when he returns to KC
Royals manager Ned Yost is without a contract for next season, but he said Friday that he would like to stay with the team.
Yost plans to discuss his managerial future and the makeup of the coaching staff with general manager Dayton Moore when the Royals return to Kansas City after Sunday's finale.
"We're still in the evaluation process, like we always do," Yost said. "I imagine we'll get all that discussed when we get home, when we get past the season. We just wanted to focus on having the strongest finish we could."
The current staff includes bench coach Chino Cadahia, hitting coach Pedro Grifol, pitching coach Dave Eiland, bullpen coach Doug Henry, first-base coach Rusty Kuntz and third-base coach Eddie Rodriguez.
White Sox: Baines to coach hitters in finale
The White Sox made a coaching change after Saturday's win, relieving hitting coach Jeff Manto of his duties. Assistant hitting coach Harold Baines will fill the role for the final game of the season.
Manto was the White Sox hitting coach the past two seasons, and the club enters the final day of the regular season last in the American League in runs scored. Chicago finished fourth in the AL in runs scored in 2012.
Prior to joining the White Sox staff, Manto served as Minor League hitting coordinator for the franchise from 2008-11.
Worth noting
• The Royals have five winning months for the first time since 1985, including a 16-10 record in September.
• The White Sox hit 18 home runs in the last 12 games.

Second City Mock - Updated 3-21-13
Posted 25 January 2013 - 04:46 AM
I have a feeling, based on Gettleman's previous comments about setting us up to take the BPA, that the moves we've made at CB mean we likely won't be drafting one early this year.
The trade I worked out this time is with Minnesota. They now have two 1st rounders thanks to the Harvin trade so they wouldn't be shy about using a 2nd rounder (plus a 7th) to move up and take a falling DT such as Sheldon Richardson, Jonathan Hankins, or possibly another WR to pair with Greg Jennings. We can get a solid DT/OL/WR at 25 and use the extra 2nd rounder to address the other two positions.
1st (f/SEA via MIN): John Jenkins, DT, UGA - Some might say this is a reach, but late in the 1st round I don't see it that way. The value on the players taken from 25th overall to the middle of round 2 will all be very similar and Jenkins is exactly the type of player we need. Georgia players have generally transitioned well to the NFL and if Jenkins can follow suit our defense will be much better for it.
2nd: Quinton Patton, WR, Louisiana Tech - One of my favorite overall WR prospects in this draft. I know some here are all over Justin Hunter, but he's likely to be gone by this pick and Patton will, IMO, go higher than most mocks have him. Not that it matters, though, as I feel confident he's going to significantly out-perform his draft position anywhere in the 2nd round.
2nd (f/MIN): Kyle Long, OT/OG, Oregon - It's tough to say who will still be available in the late 2nd, but it's a pretty safe bet that we'll have a crack at a solid OL prospect. Here, I'll go with Kyle Long, who can play either right tackle or either guard spot, giving us a lot of flexibility along the OL along with a pretty clear upgrade.
4th: Tony Jefferson, S, Oklahoma - At this juncture you can't count on a player coming in and starting from day one, but given our awful safety situation Jefferson might just be an upgrade - possibly a big one. If nothing else he'd give us some safety depth.
5th: Steve Williams, CB, California - While I don't see Gettleman using an early pick on a CB, it's hard to imagine us not adding one at some point in the draft. Steve Williams had a great combine and might very well not make it to the 5th round, but if he does he'd be a solid pick. I'm sure Rivera has taken notice given the Cal connection.
6th: Josh Boyd, DT, Mississippi State - Despite drafting John Jenkins early in this mock, we could still use more DT depth and taking a flyer this late always has the chance to result in a stud - just look at Greg Hardy.
7th (f/MIN): Tanner Hawkinson, OT, Kansas - It's tough to say who will still be available in the 7th round, but it never hurts to add OL depth and Hawkinson has some potential as a developmental player at right tackle.

Do you people not understand that there is a good chance we could lose Captain and Gamble and only have Thomas, Norman, and Dockery on the roster. It's crazy that some of you are good with that poo.
Cb is a bigger need then WR.

Posted 25 January 2013 - 12:53 PM
You do realize if you have a stout DLine you can have pretty much anybody in the secondary right? Thomas was probably our best CB out there and he balled out, Norman is a 5th round rookie out of a DII school facing some of the best WR in the league and he did pretty good for what he is (plus they didn't use him to his strengths), Dockery played alright (I'd have him coming off the bench) he made some pretty good plays every now and then.Where is the dam CB? The 6th round are you serious?
Do you people not understand that there is a good chance we could lose Captain and Gamble and only have Thomas, Norman, and Dockery on the roster. It's crazy that some of you are good with that poo.
Cb is a bigger need then WR.
So what I'm saying is I don't believe we should look for a CB until the 4th, 5th, or 6th round unless there is a sure fire #1 CB out there.

deep DT class. Jesse Williams, Sylvester Williams, Kawaan Short, Sharrif Floyd, Jonthan Hankins and Jon Jenkins and now with Brandon Williams getting looked at as a 2nd rounder at least 1 of those will be there.
Yep...and any one of those guys would be an up grade over 4/5 our current DTs.
Posted 25 January 2013 - 01:46 PM
Question is though... How many of those 4/5 DT will be on our roster?. Dwan and Neblett are free agents, Ron Edwards might be a cap casualty, and Fua honestly doesn't need to play in the NFLYep...and any one of those guys would be an up grade over 4/5 our current DTs.

I wore mine with just a flesh-colored bra underneath and it wasn't see-through at all. I bought it in Tan which is a lovely, neutral shade that can be worn with all colors of pants and skirts.

Fun shirt & Comfortable
I bought the gray shirt online and wore it for the first time paired with a gray satin trim cami. I really like the shirt. Such a nice look with the sheer striped look and the draping in the back. I typically wear either an XS or S in the Limited clothing. I bought a Small. I agree with another reviewer that this fits tighter in the waist so if you want it to fit just right in the waist , lean to sizing up.. the top will be a little loser but still close to actual fit. I wore these with white capris and received some compliments. The top is nice for Summer and would be fun to pair with different color camis. Very comfortable to wear.

Perfect Night-Out Piece
This was my first purchase from The Limited, and I love it. I am pleasantly surprised by how good-quality the material is for being sheer. I purchased the tan colored one so far my favorite look was with a brown bandeau bra underneath and with denim cut-off shorts. With the sheer detail and the draped back, it's the perfect mix between casual, dressy, and sexy.

Love this top.
The color is great and it slims a bit around the waist giving it nice sliming look. I personally like trying different colored tank tops underneath for differnt looks - red is my favorite.

Nice different top
This top is unique because of the draped back style. The dark blue color especially stands out. The top is very sheer so you have to wear something underneath. The fit is true to size, my normal size small fit well, I didn't think it was too tight even with a cami underneath. The only complaint is the draping in the back is kinda strange on me because I have a shorter torso. The xs might have fit better in the back but would be too tight in the hips. The style is supposed to be loose though so I would recommend your usual size.

Sexy Shirt
I wore this shirt out dancing and got lots of compliments! Love the fit, love the style! Because its sheer, I decided to wear a black strapless bra instead of cami. Perfect combo - coverage,with a hint of sexiness. Ordered the blue and worn it with white jeans and heels! Perfect!

Fun, light shirt
This is such a great top. It's easy like a t-shirt, but the details of the back and the sheer stripes make it a little more special. I even dressed it up with a pair of gray pants and nude heels for church this weekend, and I received so many compliments. The shirt does fit a little loose, so if you are looking for something more fitted or if you are between sizes, you might want to size down. But I purchased my regular size--the sheer stripes make it very sexy, even if it isn't really form fitting.

Damn i want that poster.
Here is the fourth character poster for Iron Man 3. Finally we have a new one of Tony Stark (RDJ). We have only 3 months to go until new Iron man arrives. What are you thoughts on the after the credit moment? Yeah, let's start that ball rolling... Ant-Man?
The Plot: Marvel Studios' Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/IronMan against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
Iron Man 3 features Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale with Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley.
Iron Man 3 arrives on May 3rd, 2013.

A local comic shop owner in my town actually posted that on facebook yesterday.
His looked like it might have been European though since it said "In Cinemas."
Looks like more truth to the unmaned Ironman suits, that Tony uses. I think and hope these will lead us to Ultron. The unmaned suited could be evolved into Ultron, Maybe Tony and Pym will use these to create an army of drones controled by a master drone or something. Who knows?
All these IM posters look depressing to me. I know he has to get knocked down to get back up but they should be focusing on images that match Stark's smartass personality.
I guess you can't please everyone all the time, Dazzler consider yourself the odd man out. This poster is awesome
If Dazzler is the odd man out does this mean he has to poke his head out during a zombie attack and see if the coast is clear?
I will be shoving Dazzler out the door so he can give those zombies a hug!
What this poster shows me... is that my son will now want the "new" Iron Man figure... to go with his other 20 versions. I think everything that has been show far has me excited for this movie. BK is a great actor and is the polar oppisite of RDjr.

The active and dynamic process of acquiring skills and understandings which are needed for survival and well-being. At the individual level, learning improves the quality of life of the participant. At a broader social level, it has the potential to transform cultures, societies, politics and the world we live in. The most profound period of learning takes place in childhood where accelerated development of the brain takes place (researchers estimate that around 16 billion synaptic receptors per second are developing in the brains of children between 12 - 18 months of age). Tragically, the damaging effects of childhood trauma, stress, neglect and exposure to drugs and alcohol in the uterus are affecting the physical development of an alarming number of children. This has frightening implications, not only for the life prospects and outcomes of individuals but also for society as a whole. Learning is a cornerstone for participation in life at every level. It is what makes humans the most powerful and influential species on the planet. It is vital that lifelong learning be nurtured, respected and participated in by all.
Learning is as natural as breathing and is equally essential.

Culling Alberta's wolves without prioritizing caribou habitat protection and restoration is like "shoveling sand," according to Mark Hebblewhite, associate professor of ungulate habitat biology at the University of Montana.
read moreIn Alberta, coal was first mined near Edmonton as early as 1850, and commercial coal operations took off in 1874. After the coal rush where hundreds of mines popped up across the province, the "black rock that burns" fell out of favour by the mid 1950s with the advent of natural gas.
While no new coal plants have been approved in Alberta in over a decade, it seems history is repeating itself. On June 30th, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) approved the Milner Expansion Project, a 500Mw coal-fired generating facility to be built west of Edmonton. The final decision by the AUC to approve the coal plant is a serious black eye for the AUC and its ability to protect the public interest.
The project gives Calgary-based Maxim Power Corp. license to produce some of the filthiest power on the planet for 45 years while emitting 3Mt per year of greenhouse gas emissions. Alberta's filthy tar sands are already the scourge of the planet, and this approval adds insult to injury.
in May, the Canadian government committed to reducing carbon emissions 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. The Canadian government will begin by regulating greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired electricity, and will follow with tar sands regulation later this year.
Luckily for Maxim Power Corp, they got in just in the knick of time. The Pembina Institute argues that the Alberta Utilities Commission deliberately rushed the approval of the plant to help the company avoid the new rules. On June 7, 2011, Maxim requested that the AUC approve the plant no later than June 30th, 2011 in order to qualify as an Existing Plant under new federal legislation. This is because all power plants completed after July 1, 2015, will have to comply with new regulations, and plants completed before will be 'grandfathered'.
A letter from Maxim's lawyers to the AUC spells this all out explicitly:
Canadian Minister of the Environment Peter Kent explicitly committed to not allowing plants to be rushed through before the legislation came into effect. And yet that's exactly what happened. Before the new rules have even come into force, they have effectively been subverted.
In addition to evading federal regulations, the Millner facility will essentially cancel out Alberta's entire commitments to reduce GHG emissions. In its Climate Change Strategy, Alberta committed to "stabilize GHG emissions by 2020", and as a part of the initiative, will spend $2 billion on CCS projects to reduce GHG's by 4Mt/yr. This project will pump 3Mt/year of those savings back into the atmosphere.
According to Pembina, Alberta does not need the power for its domestic use if they invest smartly in renewables and conservation. What does Alberta need 500 megawatts of power for 45 years for? One possible explanation is for tar sands expansion.
The Alberta Utility Commission's mandate is to ensure that, "(Alberta's) regulatory system is effective, responsive to concerns raised by directly affected landowners and interested third-parties, and promotes responsible development in the best interests of the public."
Maxim's permit is not in the interest of the public, and failed to respond to public concerns. The AUC unilaterally determined that no parties had reason to intervene in a hearing, and determined that the project was in the public interest without demonstrating that they had adequately completed their review of the evidence. According to environmental economist Andrew Leach, they also shut down at least one interested third party in the process.
Mark Jaccard, professor of sustainable energy and Simon Fraser University argues that Stephen Harper cannot achieve his promise to reduce GHGs by 17 percent by 2020 and allow this new coal-fired electricity plant to be built. Why then are we keeping Alberta and the planet in the stone-age of environmental policy by approving it, and undermining public confidence in government and the regulatory system in the process?
Mark Jaccard ends his piece with a provocative question to the reader. He asks, "What do you do when your government knowingly permits investments that prevent it from meeting its promises? Do you simply stand by and watch the construction of a coal plant that contributes great harm to the planet? Or is the only remaining ethical option to use every legal avenue and perhaps even peaceful civil disobedience to try to stop the plant?"
The answer is clear.
"Alberta committed to "stabilize GHG emissions by 2020""
governments love statements like that - totally meaningless and just far enough in the future to allow the luxury of doing nothing.
In that spirit I would also like to make a personal and firm commitment to do what I reasonably can to contribute to sustainability in this world. By 2020 I intend to be fully immersed, in fact stabilized in my personal commitment to give back what I reasonably can and to promote healthy local environmental practice - where possible.
I commit to help plants by producing as much enriching CO2 as I can.
This will assist in food production and maybe help just a tiny bit to stave off the imminent cooling period.
I also commit to purchase nothing but Ethical Oil products from Alberta Famous and well respected Oil Sands projects.
Thank goodness that sanity is finally returning to planet earth and belief in the mythical CAGW is nearly over.
"The final decision by the AUC to approve the coal plant is a serious black eye for the AUC and its ability to protect the public interest."
As an Edmontonian, I believe part of the AUC's mandate to protect the public interest is to ensure we have access to affordable energy.
And that is what they've done.
Frankly, I could give a toss about "greenhouse gases", or whatever the latest enviro-hypochondriac's neurotic obsession is.
"Frankly, I could give a toss about "greenhouse gases", or whatever the latest enviro-hypochondriac's neurotic obsession is."
May I suggest that you could give a toss because you are spectacularly ignorant of which you speak, and that you are just another garden variety troll who is not interested in actually learning anything. It is much easier just to make stuff up rather than sit down and read something.
"I commit to help plants by producing as much enriching CO2 as I can.
This will assist in food production and maybe help just a tiny bit to stave off the imminent cooling period." AND "belief in the mythical CAGW is nearly over."
So how does a human-induced mythical warming help stave off an imminent cooling period? You, too, are abysmally ignorant and are just making sh** up. Congrat on knowing CO2 is plant food though–the more food you take in, the better it is, right? And also congrats on knowing we have an imminent cooling period–we should see that in about 50,000 years or so. Go shopping now to get winter gear…or instead spend that time trying to learn a bit of actual science. Start with skepticalscience.com (hint: look up CO2 is plant food).
DeSmogBlog–may I suggest you put up a trash bin akin to the Bore Hole that RC has. All comments that are just BC or recycled long-debunked denier fallacies can go into that SmogBin. That allows people to intelligently discuss actual science and policy in the comment sections of an article while those whose sole purpose seems to be trolling message boards to spout nonsense are ignored till they manage to come up with something relevant.
So now that we have the Spencer study and the 2009 Cho and Lindzen papers all showing the earth is releasing allot more heat then the climate models have shown, so why should we care anymore the climate models are not accurate the premise they are based on (C02 is the main driver of climate) is wrong.
Hee-hee! Listen to the thin-skinned lefty shrieking in favour of censorship the minute anyone dares to disagree with him.
What a putz.
"May I suggest that you could give a toss because you are spectacularly ignorant of which you speak, and that you are just another garden variety troll who is not interested in actually learning anything."
Yes, I suppose there is a possibility that I am "spectacularly ignorant". However, there is another possibility, and that is that you might be completely mislead and that your beliefs are based on exaggerations and misinformation.
"It is much easier just to make stuff up rather than sit down and read something."
Oh, you mean like reading a propaganda website run by James Hoggan & Associates Public Relations Inc.?
Would I be less "spectacularly ignorant" if I spent more time reading PR company material, like you?
Dan; recycled long-debunked denier fallacies?
Be careful what you wish for.
Most of what is posted on Desmog is Long-debunked reality denier fallacies.
Like the myth that mand made co2 drives climate.
You really should read something other than cult dogma.
The investment into alternative power generating technologies such as nuclear energy may need to be measured against the potential cost when things turn against you as unfortunately happened this year in Japan. The use of thermal coal (steam coal) that is mostly burnt for power generation may be valid for other countries who may not be able to allocate resources and funds to alternative and more greener sources of power. Coal newsletters and coal statistics show developing economies are more likely to increase their investment into & their use of thermal coal & metallurgical coal in coming years because of coal's affordability and ability to quickly meet increasing demands for electricity and steel. Cherry of www.coalportal.com
When alternative power generating technologies can stand on their own merrits with needing propaganda and fearmongering to support them, they will emerge.
Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
