David Stern: "We are going to make a deal"
Nov 8, 2011, 3:15 PM EDT
NBA Commissioner is back on his media tour bus… in a metaphorical sense. Stern wouldn't actually get on a bus. But he is doing a lot of media interviews right now as he spins his side of the ugly lockout story and essentially tries to talk to the players directly about taking the deal on the table.
What he said to Stephen A. Smith of ESPNNewYork when asked about losing the season was interesting, however (via Sports Radio Interviews).
"I refuse to contemplate it or discuss because we are going to make a deal. (Host: So you're confident?) Unlike any other deal, if I don't bid enough for your house you don't have to sell it to me. Or if you ask too much I don't have to buy it. Our players, there's going to be a deal. The only question is how much damage is done to the game and our fans and the people who work in our industry before we make that deal."
He's right, there will be a deal someday. It's vintage Stern in that it's a great quote and headline, but it's meaning is vague. Besides, to make a deal would require the two sides actually sitting down and meeting, and as of this writing no talks are scheduled.
Stern also talked about the pressure from hardline owners who thought he has already given up too much. Those owners may not make up a majority, but they make up a significant enough minority that Stern has to keep them happy. And, Stern is happy to use them as leverage against the union as well ("take this nice deal I'm offering you or I will have to release the hounds").
I still think the biggest goal in all of the media stops is to talk over the heads of Billy Hunter, Derek Fisher and the union leadership to pressure the rank and file players on taking the deal. To try and force a groundswell of players willing to take the deal that the union can't ignore.
He's smart, that Stern.
That said, nobody is making a deal if they don't sit down together and have a meeting.

If you know there is going to be a deal, then why the hell weren't the owners and players figuring out a deal 3 or 4 months ago? They could've gone all the way up until the preseason if they wanted to…both sides wanted to wait and use power instead of doing things the easy way.
- marcusfitzhugh - Nov 8, 2011 at 4:36 PM
I could be wrong, but I believe the owners of individual teams vote. I believe they vote on everything offered. What percentage of BRI to offer, hard cap, sign and trade, everything. The players allow their representatives to steer their ship. If the individual players were allowed to vote, we may not have missed ANY games – preseason included. It's unknown why the players aren't allowed to vote. I know it's a union rule, but why is it a rule? Is union management afraid the players as a group will make unwise decisions? If that's the case, it shouldn't be, should it? If the players make a bad decision – it's their decision to make. They're smart enough to earn their money, smart enough to spend their money, so why can't they vote on issues concerning "their money"?
It certainly isn't because it's too difficult for the 450 players to vote. If that is truly the problem, pay someone like me, and I'll design and implement a system that allows the players to vote from a smartphone. They can have instant tallies, multiple choices, and if they want, they can change their mind back and forth on issues all the way up to any voting deadline they choose. I'll do it for one quarter of one percent of the money lost by this labor disagreement – and I'll retire a very wealthy man.
So really, why can't the players vote?

Read Poems by
Ginna Taylor
Crucify him crucify him my own declared
Heart a trembling My God so scared
Say who I am the nails I shall feel
Hold back my silence the enemy shall steal
Wounded Oppressed afflicted blows they gave
chosen Apostles runneth into caves
Came I down from far above
created place I am the Dove
Crucify him what's this you say
healed I the sick asketh not for pay
Crucified me while standing and gazing
they all like sheep my children stay grazing
yonder garden where I was betrayed
not one stood with me while I yet prayed
Asked friends will you stay awake
for you see my life they shall take
Gave you life my heart screamed with a sigh
Crucify him is still the reply
Crucify him Crucify him They yelled with glee
ears dull of hearing died I on the tree

EBT card acceptance expanding to more of the state's Farmers' Markets
Thousands of low-income residents across the state depend on EBT cards to purchase food. Statewide 19% of Mainers use the cards, and now there's a push to get more of the states Farmers' Markets to accept this form of payment. New Source 8's Angela Christoforos talked to a member of the Presque Isle Farmers' Market to get his take…
Buying fresh locally grown fruits and vegetables draws hundreds of consumers to local Farmers Markets each year; and now there's talk of potentially expanding EBT or Electronic Benefit Transfer card acceptance this year to about 50 of the state's 139 markets.
Mark Goughan a Member of Presque Isle Farmers' Market said, "We are always interested in how to get the best fresh produce into the hands of customers so that they can enjoy the freshness and bounty of what we grow here in Aroostook County."
The conceivable expansion is a way to get locally grown, nutritious food onto the tables of people receiving federal food stamp aid.
"A dollar spent local is a great value and a great win for everybody," said Goughan.
Goughan's Berry Farm of Caribou is 1 of 15 members of the Presque Isle Farmers' Market. The season officially begins on Mothers Day and lasts until mid October. According to the Director of the Maine Federation of Farmers' Markets, whether this expands to markets here in the County largely depends on the market and members interest.
"We have not yet been approached by the Department of Agriculture. We are going to gather the information and we'll decide as a market whether this program would fit into our marketing strategy," said Goughan.
One barrier to expanding EBT use is the cost of technology. $500 to $1000 worth of wireless terminal is needed to handle the cards. But a $4 million grant program could help offset the cost.
There is also another supplemental food program called Wic that provides vouchers to Farmer's Markets specifically for pregnant and nursing mothers as well as children up to the age of 5 that are income eligible. For more information go to http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/health-equity/wic/

Phillips' bill resurrects the Trans Texas Corridor
HB 3789 re-authorizes Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and resurrects the Trans Texas Corridor. It would grant the private toll road developers control of not only the toll lanes/road, but also non-toll lanes, frontage roads, buildings on the tollway, parking areas, rest stops, ancillary facilities, etc. It's eminent domain for private gain all over again, which is what caused a Texas-sized backlash against the TTC in earnest in 2007, when a moratorium on PPPs was put in place.

Throughout the Muslim world, history is being retold. The most notorious example, of course, is Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's claim that the Holocaust is a "myth," which has given new credibility to a conspiracy theory that has long circulated among Muslim publics. However, thanks to the constant attention the Western press has afforded Ahmadinejad's lies, this is old news. Yet the Western media has failed to cover another distortion of history that is suddenly gaining traction even within the most liberal, Western-friendly of Muslim states: that Jewish historical ties to Jerusalem have no basis in reality, having been fabricated as part of a broader Zionist conspiracy.
This lie found a new venue yesterday in Istanbul, where the three-day Al-Quds International Forum opened. Within the Arab press, this was a top news item, with conference participants' denials of Jerusalem's Jewish historical ties a prominent theme. Al-Jazeera's headline declared "International Al-Quds Forum Opens With a Call to Resist Judaization," while the state-controlled Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) similarly announced that "The Al-Quds Forum Calls for the Necessity of Liberating Jerusalem and Opposes Plans to Judaize It." In fairness to the Western press, it's a story that would have been easy to miss: the English-language headlines regarding the Al-Quds Forum were more benign, while Al-Jazeera English typically declined to mention it.
Whether or not it ever appears in the New York Times, make no mistake: this conference is deeply significant. The charge that Israel is "Judaizing" Jerusalem through archaeology or maintenance of religious sites is deeply rooted in Palestinian political discourse. Yasir Arafat and Hanan Ashrawi invoked the terminology of "Judaization" in 1996, after Israel opened Hasmonean Tunnel in the Old City, which revealed the foundations of the Second Temple. This past February, Palestinians used "Judaization" charges to protest Israel's repair of an access ramp to the Mughrabi Gate, which leads to the Dome of the Rock; one Fatah spokesperson accused Israel of trying to replace the mosque with a "Jewish Temple." At the time, these charges resonated sufficiently among Muslim publics that Israel installed webcams to prove that they were not damaging Muslim holy sites. The furor seemed to have cooled thereafter.
But conspiracy theories don't die easily in the Middle East. The charge of Jerusalem's "Judaization" has thus officially moved beyond the Palestinian territories. The Al-Quds Forum in Istanbul—and the overwhelmingly positive press it is receiving throughout the Muslim world—shows that denial of Jewish historical ties to Jerusalem has attained disturbing legitimacy.

Do Bad Sectors in HDD affects Wii Games/Homebrew? Like they will cause crashing/hanging of games and loaders or something?
Can you drive your car without gas? Seriously, if you have bad sectors try to use a program called hdd regenerator. I have saved quite a few this way. It is also usually possible to format a drive with the partition you are using just beyond the bad sectors, this should at least keep it going for a while, but the drive will usually become unusable eventually.

Well Rockhopper and the storway.
My favourite Club Penguin story is the My Puffle Paint By Letters one! I like it because there are different paths in the story so it's customised to your liking and you get to practice typing at the same time. Plus there are hidden coins throughout it. :)
My favorite clubpenguin story is "The penguin christmas carol", it is only in the book room at Christmas time, and I really enjoy it! I always make sure to read it every December, because if I miss it, I will have to wait another year! It's so cool that you guys made your own version of the Christmas carol! And It's funny how you made tiny FIN instead of Tiny Tim! I hope the story is returns again in December! Waddle on!
my favorite story is peter rabbit the reason why is cause when you do something naughty you will alway's be in trouble after!
this looks pretty cool!
i love club penguin so much.
My favorite clubpenguin story is the night of the living sled.I like because its spooky.Even though it has subtitles its pretty cool!
I really like the Ruby and the Ruby Story. Jacques Hammer is my favorite Club Penguin character of all the time, because his personality peppered with some attitude really makes him memorable. Quotes like "I work Alone Ms Ruby" or "That lady is trouble", and "I bet you hopscotched away with some gems" are some of the sayings that really make him a fun character to watch. The ending is really nice with finding the ruby away in a safe, that in the end, there was never a bad guy or a thief, and that everyone can be the good guy.
Great Story Club Penguin! Bravo! :)
"Hey CP! My Favorite Story would have to be the Haloween Party! It was fun on so many levels because the outfits were SWEET and i LOVED the Trick Or Treating at Snow Forts! It was AWESOME! (P:S... WADDLE ON CP!)
Hiya Cp!
My favourite story of Club Penguin has got to be the orange puffle.
When the trees started disappearing in the Box Dimension, the whole island started to question it.
It was just so funny when we soon found 'Giggles' of orange puffles in every shape and size. - and every box too! :)
I love my orange puffle 'Tango', and he loves my Cookie box!

Perhaps it could be a laboratory, where Gary is working on a brand new machine to keep all wildlife safe! It could be like a litter magnet!! any litter on the floor would be automatically attached to the magnet, which would be taken to the recycling centre and made into new things!! If it isnt, I think Gary should invent it because it would be a good idea! We could even have parties where we go on a litter hunt, and if we have collected enough litter, we win a 100% recyled prize!! Waddle On CP! :) xxx

I think it's called My Puffle. i like it because its about how people and animals can become best friends. because people ARE animals! I think its a really cute story about an owner whos bff is his pet, and how he takes him to all kinds of different places. its nice to see such a strong bond between a person and their pet, dont u agree?

my favorite story on club penguin is rockhopper's stowaway. i love red puffles! they always are up for a adventure!
My favorite club penguin stoy is the myth of scorn because its all medevial and adveturous.

My favorite CP story is the one about the Brown puffle. I like it because, I love puffles and finding them is the most exciting thing in the world! Especially because the Brown puffle is smart, and creative, and a bit shy, like me! Also, Brown puffles are so cute (like all puffles of course!)

My Favorite Story Is Truth Or Dare In The Book Room Its Quite An Unusual Book To Like. But I Like It When Rodger Rodger Falls Into Boxes And The Keeper Is On His Head And DanielD Is Very Brave To Go In!
I like the one where its one of the Penguin Bands members first time on stage, and the rest of the band helps him and tells him theres nothing to be afraid of, and he gets over his stage fright. I like it because that story really shows how friends help friends and don't leave a friend in a problem alone. One more thing, Waddle On CP!

I really liked Story Clue 2 as it was very scary and full of suspense and told us the main part of the plot
Waddle On CP!
Although every story has a pargraph you like and sometimes there is a story that touches your heart someway. I love the yearbooks in club penguin because when it comes out I always read them. The reason why the yearbooks are my are my favourite books is because when you read them you look back and you come across something in the book and you always say I remember that! It mighn't be your favourite book but it is mine.
My favorite club penguin story is not much of a story but it's good. It's the night of the living sled,1, 2,and 3. Even though its a slilent movie it is still a great story to me and i find it quite funny instead of "scary". My favorite part of the story is when the two penguins sled down on the ski hill to get away from the living sled and crash in into the pile of snow and also when they thought they finally got away... but then they find out they didn't! (Im not sure I got that scene right it's been like a year since i seen that movie). Well that's my favorite story!
I like captain Rockhopper and the Stowaway! (sorry if i spell that wrong, kinda hard actually :P) Its an awesome book and i like the whole story of it! it shows some ways to get some awesome(epic as some might say! :D) friends! and it shows all sorts of lessons! and its fun to read!
waddle on CP! ~Ciesh
I like the year books because I like looking through the years of cp I like to look at the first moment of cp! oh and WADDLE ON! :)
Wooooow cool!
First of all, that looks strangely like the lighthouse i wonder why..... Well anyway my favourite story is ruby and the ruby because i love stories like that and I LOVE ALL THE COSTUMES!!!!!!!! How do you think of so many ideas?
Hey CP I love to read the Clb Penguin Times now and then.Anytime I see a story my beak is always in it.But my favirote story has to be the mushroom problem.I was shocked at what happened.
I LURVE TRUTH OR DARE ITS AWSOME! THE KEEPERS DESCOVERD AND ITturns out that the keeper is a green puffle! I LOVE CP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cool i can't wait waddle on
Hello! I know a very funny CP story that I am sharing to you all. You know Club Penguin has comics? My best one is Threeeee Deeeeee. In it there is a penguin who goes and buys the 3D Glasses. Then he starts being a show off to his friend and thinks that he is the best. But as it appears, his friend already HAS 3D Glasses. The other penguin then goes all surprised and just puts on his 3D Glasses. Time to enter the 3rd dimension! His friend then pops up as a Threeeee Deeeeee toy! Waddle on!
i think the media evle party because it's rock's
my opinion is the earth day because we can save animals that are endangered like the snow leopard its a good party
P.S.waddle in club penguin :D
My favorite Club Penguin Story of all time is the one about Frankie's first show. I think it helps people not to be nervous and that you don't know how scary something is until you try it. Waddle On Club Penguin!
it"s awesome
My favorite story is Rockhoppers quest but i missed that party
Hey club penguin I would say my favorite club penguin story is the medieval party only because it has so many surprises waiting in stock for you, like the hydras i would say that was my favorite because you had to use tactics with the shield and throwing snowballs to defeat the hydras and when Herbert took the hydras for himself and used it against club penguin that's why i would say the medieval is the best club penguin story
Hey cp . my favourite cp book in cp website rockhoppers jornal and normal book you can buy in a shop the annual is great cuz theres loads of cool games and stuff!!
hope i get 10,0000 coins!!
waddle on cp
My favorite story was night of the living sled because the sled was alive! I always imagined night of the living sled actually happened and sled went after us in club penguin. I would love to face it! Waddle on club penguin!
My favourite club penguin story would have to be......hummm

once my friend said he got lost in the forest and met a dragon that helped him get back to the town.....

My favorite CP story has to be umm... Geez this is hard! But mine has to be Me and My Puffle because you get to pick out what you like to do or how the story goes and its Paint By Letters!
I agree with Ariane2005 any backyard can be a habitat. I am going to become like Ariane2005 and do what she does.
Cool!! Is that the lighthouse?
my fav story is probally when herbert made a massive hole on the
island when the epf were to the problem (thanks to dot gary and jet pack guy)

herbert help them :0 i liked it because it was funny and herbert helped :0
it is the best story ever WADDLE ON CP 10%10
My favorite Club Penguin story would be My Puffle , a Paint By Letters Storie.
This would be my favorite as there are so many secrets to it.
There are hidden coins in it and if you walk your puffle whilst reading it, the puffle in the story will be the same colour as yours!
That is why My Puffle is my favorite Club Penguin Story.
where will it be
Does this mean like a party story or one from the libary. If its a story from parties, Earth Day is very good because it gets me and my friends recycling more. We said to our teacher to start recycling paper so now we do! If its from the libary I pick Dojo clean out
P.s. If im wrong please tell me
'my favorite club penguin story is my puffle!' "its a nice story about the puffle you are walking. best story ever!"

I like The Great Puffle Switch because it lets you choose what you want to do-and where you want to do it. I spent about roughly 10-20-30

My favorite Club Penguin story is about the start of the EPF. I like it because its clever and funny!
My Favorite story has to be My Puffle because i'm a great puffle fan and i love the way you take a puffle with you to the story and then magically it appears on the screen. You also get coins at the end for creativity, which is awesome.

I like the medevil story best because it sort of tells a fairy tale about medeveil times.
My favourite story is the quest for the golden puffle because i like adventure storys and it is very enjoyable to take part in the play.
My favorite story is my puffle, Why? Because it is all about puffles and how you can take them for a walk, And spend time with your puffle, I read this book everyday, And night! I love this book so much.. Waddle on CP!

If you mean story as in like books in the book room, I'd definitely choose the book Rockhopper wrote when that penguin stowawayed on his ship to Rockhopper island. That was cool. But if you mean the story clues from the Medieval Puzzle then I'd pick clue #4.
Please, please, pretty pleas with sugar and a cherry on top post me! I've never been posted! PLEASE :D?
I like the room because it looks really cool and I hope a wizard [or Gary] comes to live there on the medieval party waddle on!!!
Wow that is amazing Ariane2005!
And wow again to tha club penguin team for making to Medieval Party for us to enjoy defeating the dragon! That wizard room (Lighthouse) looks AMAZING! I can't wait to meet Gary in the Medieval Party this year!!!
I can't wait, until then WADDLE ON!
(P.S. I have never been on the comment list!)
Cool! I have four dogs at home [ yes, FOUR] and they are all rescues. I love animals and think that nobody should ever hurt them.
Peace out!
P.s WADDLE ON CP!!!
My favorite clubpenguin story is the black book in the book room about the boiler room ghost.
i love the Gary thing
Wow! The medeival party looks cool! Will there be stuff for us nommembers to do too? I know the main quest(s) will be for members only, but will there be, say, a mini quest for nonmembers? Please please please please answer this post!!!
My most favourite cp story is Wildlife, by Myndynha, Because i love animals! I'm always studying them and helping them. I feed birds and have my own pet Pheasant who lives in my gardan! I recycle and i love the earth!! Thanks Myndynha, For making the best story ever I'm always reading it! And thanks Club Penguin for createing Earth day! it's the best party ever!!!!! :):):)
can non members fight the dragon
hi cp
my favourite club penguin story was when we had to climb the tallest mountain. EPF had to put Herbert in a glass box with the cooler in it we had to wear special goggles to see the lasers but i forgot to where mine and i kept hitting lasers. It got annoying and when another penguin told me i had to where it i was humiliated. i still laugh about that experience today.
waddle on cp!
My Favorite story is a Wizard story mixed with fighting dragons! Its really awesome idea!
The Medevil normal party is my other favorite!
Hi CP!
My favourite club penguin story is probably.....Hmmmm,I cannot decide! they are all so cool!I CANNOT WAIT for the medieval party,It is my favourite party,sorry,2nd favourite.
My favorite club penguin well its hard but if i have to choose it would pick,k the quest of the golden puffle its just so cute and full of adventure
cool i guess
that pic looks good
My Favorite Club Penguin Story is: The Lime Green Dojo Clean! This is because it is a very funny story that you can find in the Book-Room.
What I mostly LOVE about it is that it has one of my favorite items: The Lime Green Cape!
I also think that this story is Marvelous because it shows that, whe you play Club Penguin. You have fun and you play fun games instead of trying to be all perfect and clean!
First comment :D
Happy 77 Im your biggest fan
do you know billybob???
my favourite story is rockhopper and the stowaway. it is interesting and creative and you get a free bracelet! ;) waddle on cp!
I like this part the best because it looks awsome.I think it's the mushroom castle and I think a wizard lives.How come it's very messy?
Hmmm. This is tough. I have to say all of them because C.P. is soooo awesome! It's so awesome that I've been playing for a couple years now! I just wish there was a way to be one of the 1st 5 penguins on the island. Then I would have done everything imaginable on C.P. I hope the fun never ends!
p.s. I'm almost ten and I still play!!!!!!!!!!!!!Cool,huh?
this room looks epic i can't wait to see it
p.s waddle on cp
my favourite story is the medival story because it tells you about it o and waddle on
I love the ninja myth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite story is the team red vs. team blue it was fun because you could choose a side and have different comp. You also could get the pen which was the dodge ball from (2007) I think.They had a ton of blue and red clothes.not a lot of people saw it though,but it was a ton of fun.I wish they would bring it back.

ummmm the golden puffle one
and i am first woooooo
The best CP story is about the time my puffles and my sister's puffles build a puffle tree house. I know this is not a real story, but my sister and I made it up . Long story short my puffles and my sister's puffles wanted to make a tree house. We also made up others. Like in the middle of the amulet is a shiftstone which can turn penguins into other creatures.
cool wood there be a knights quest 4
What do you mean a strory? i dont know any cp storys. i didnt know they had some!? someone PLEASE AWNSER!?
Hi my one is, hmmmmmm i LOVE it ALL

Cool It Looks AWESOME!! I Love The Lighthouse It Is One Of My Favorite Rooms P.s. Can You Please Bring Back The Puffle Playroom From The Puffle Party 2012 That Would Be Awesome I Loved Being A Puffle pizza92439
Thats a really good story,Ariane2005! My question is what is the mystery animal??
My favorite Club Penguin story is "Legend of The Dark Dragon" because it's heroic, cool and has action. We're also about to face the dragon himself which is even more exciting!
Hubio 2007-Present
i love all of them i cant choose but i did choose this... waddle on cp!
My favorite story is bieng in the PSA. I discovered EPF 1 year after i was in the PSA, and then another year the PSA was destroyed.
Those missions of the PSA wore the good ole' days. I would spends days trying to figure out some of them. My favorite mission is waddle squad because of all of the exitement. I will never forget the PSA, but now the EPF is on its own. I have grown to love it too! Anyway, Waddle on and catch that polar bear!
P.S Please Post! I've been waiting almost 4 Years! :O
mine is the soccer story
my favourite story is My Puffle because you caqn choose different words and stories WADDLE ON CP
My favorite story is Rockhopper and the stowaway! I like it because it tells us about how Rockhopper found Yarr and it tells us what happened to the ship when it hit an iceberg. It even tells us all the things Rockhopper has done! Waddle on CP!
There are a bunch of stories on Club Penguin that I think are really interesting. I gave it some thought and I think the story that I love the most is how Herbert got to the island. This story tells a lot about Herbert and why he dislikes the Club Penguin community so much and how he met Klutsy the crab. It is pretty interesting and I think most penguins would agree (especially some EPF agents). Go on to the PSA missions and 'Questions for a crab' will have all the answers of how Herbert set foot on Club Penguin. Waddle on!
i like the time when rockhopper came and took us to see the hall of vikings it was really spooky at first but i got over it and it was exciting
Cool I wanted for an opportunity like this
Thumb Up Happy77
I like the Penguin Tales section because the stories are written by everyday penguins like me. WADDLE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cool that sounds awesome
Story? Emmmm.... Theres vids and movies at the stage but... story? :/
my faviroute story is the halloween one because it gets me exited and very spooky
My favorite story was the new color one, because it told us the new and improved thing in Club Penguin. I really loved the comments about that story. until then, W A D D L E O N CP
i like the story from the book room is rockhopper stowaway with bambadee and he really gets stowed away! i have the book too
Hi! My name is Manonwmz1! The question was 'What is your favorite Club Penguin story and why'
Well what I like to do on Club Penguin (and i never log off with out doing this) is go to the top floor
of the Coffee Shop and read the books with the history of what has been happening on Club Penguin
over the past years. I love to do that and I also love to read the story's in the News Paper as well.
So the awnser to the question is that I like to here and read the history of Club Penguin and that is
what I will do for the rest of my Club Penguin days.
Thank You and Waddle on Club Penguin
From Manonwmz1 xx lol
My favourite cp story is rockhoppers adventure because, rockhopper remarks on a very exciting adventure it is the best
awsome gary be there
Well, my favorite books have got to be the christmas fairy tales because the tell famous storys the Clubpenguin way!
I love those books but I also like the year books that I read everyday if I have time. Now, as a certain penguin says, Waddle on!
Thats amazing! I absolutely love it
Waddle On, Cp! XD
my favorite club penguin story is the legend of the golden puffle. it makes me wonder if there will ever be a golden puffle at all.
My favorite Club Penguin story is Rockhopper's Journal. This is my favorite because it is filled with action and partnership, plus it was written by Rockhopper himself. When I read Rockhopper's Journal, I was inspired to start using my imagination, writing multiple books, and even reading aloud to some younger children! (That last one is the one I like doing the most.) But I couldn't have done it without Club Penguin. THANKS GUYS, AND WADDLE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (P.S. Happy77, I think you're awesome!!!)
my favorite club penguin story's are mostly about puffles because they are so adorable and cool. the blacck puffles can turn red and the yellow puffles can draw that is really cool. Thank You Very Much ClubPenguin And Thank You For Reading This
My favorite story is the dragon last year. It was so fun trying to find it and battling it! Hope you have another EIC Medieval Part! Waddle on cp!
Gosh there's so many good ones its hard to pick.but proboley it's one of the pick your paths!!
My favourite one is star reporter!! I like this one because when I grow up I want to be reporter!!
So everyday I go around my astate and listen to people and wright it in my notebook.
When I get home I get some papers and stick them together.Then I photocopy it!
I then give them out!!
waddle on c.p
My favorite clubpenguin story is the popcorn explosion. Its so funny looking back on it now. Its like, the only one that connects to the game other then the tremors. Something like that should happen again, so people who missed it don't have to listen to people talking about it and experience it.
My favourite Clubpenguin story is The dragon king, its my favourite because you can have so much fun, and adventures. I think its the best story yet.
Waddle on CP!
P.S. Please Reply, i never got replied...
wow! sounds amazing to me!
I love club penguin and happy77 and gary i just started last year and i know a lot about CP and i hope everyone else likes club penguin as much as i do w a d d l e o n c p n o w
Well, my favorite Club Penguin Story is one I made-up with my friend! We pretended to be Gary's kids and went around stopping crimes. We captured robbers at The Pizza Parlor, stopped rogue Agents from giving Herbert EPF Information, and protected an igloo from more robbers! It was fun, and we picked up some Companions on the way. Soon we saw a whole Group of robbers planning on making the ultimate Coin and Candy Taking Machine! We threw snowballs, and on of our Companions chased their Leader! In the end, we all went to the Pizza Parlor and at some Pizzas and drank some Hot Chocolate.
my favourite book in club penguin are those typing books because every time we play them it helps our typing skills inprove more and more and they let you think about the story like how it starts or ends so that is why it is my favourite book so waddle on CP:)
my faitove stroy ws the midevil time stroy

I have the book the great puffle switch and I love it because its really adventurous and exciting. But best of all, you get to choose what you do! I also enjoy the flick the pages animations at the bottom corners of the book. I love all your books club penguin and I really want you to publish more! P.S. if you haven't realised, I'm a right old book worm!
i also help clean where i live mostly on earthday like ariane2005 but when im not on club penguin, doing homework, at school, doing chores or anything else my family(mom, dad, me) help clean our roads and my back yard, because i have cats that nobody caims so i take our scraps to them and clean in the woods where they live (there is 4 kittens and 3 cats)
Hey cp i like a particular story,its on halloween but i do not know the name.Its a toboggan made from a Mad scientist.I like this because of funny things about the story is like HOW CAN A TOBOGGAN BE ALIVE! And halloween is one of my favourate event of the year! You get candy and much more!
Thanks cp keep up the good work :D
my favourite is ruby and the ruby because its mysterios
ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh spooky

P.S I BUYED CLUB PENGUIN GAME DAY FOR Wii its really good i got 100% in red and blue its alot of fun
It's hard to choose a favorite Club Penguin story... Just to know, Club Penguin is a world where you can have pingu-fun! It'a world where kids feel like an animal/a bird: THE PENGUIN! I hope you will like my comment; it's the truth what I said, what I think about CP! Waddle on, penguins! :)
thats epic man
my favourite club penguin story would have to be...
Dun Dun Dun! the reason I picked this book was because it keep you guessing of what's going to happen next and it also gives you a bit of a scare at the middle. I think the plot of this book was that two penguins were playing a innocent game of truth or dare but it turned into a fright fest for everyone. I would also like to say...
My fav cp story is the story of how Rockhopper met Yar. I think that it was great that he helped the little fella!!! Which remindes me... always help out others in need!!!
My favorite story is actually a play. It's Ruby and the Ruby.I like the catchy name and how you don't get it until you read the script, that is, unless you saw it the year before.I also like the plot.I'm not going to talk about it because I don't want to spoil it for penguins that haven't seen it.(hint,it's a combo of funny-ness and awesomeness.) WADDLE ON C.P. :)
AWESOME I CANT WAIT ILL TRY TO MEET GARY! THIS IS THE BEST CP PARTY EVA CANT WAIT WADDLE ON CP. Im first to comment!
go Gary i am a really old penguin I logged on in 2006 and here rumors of the sport shop getting rebuilt in august is that true
Cool Light house, very sciency
this is going to be called the mushroom kingdom
I think my favorite story is the medivial story cause they fight villians and when the dragon came acting like king even though he was not. I like that story cause i goto hospitals to vist kids with disabileties and read stories to them about people from a long time ago and non fiction things like medivial and i like to tell them that they can be brave and it dosnt matter that someone is hurt i just say to them just be happy your alive.!
looks cool maybe it is garys super seceret lab where he made the medival cosstumes
my favorite story is where rockhopper finds that poor lonely penguin inside of the migrator and helps him makes friends i like it becuase it teaches you that other people have feelings too and that you should be kind and caring to others so waddle on cp and keep making friends :)
My favorite story on CP is the type it out books because u get to type all the words to the story and things apear like if u type me then your penguin will apear! If u write The Dock then the WHOLE Dock will apear. Also it's very entertaining beacause instead of reading a book u write AND read a book! I think thats an amazing idea for it. I think these books are very entertaining so it's an awesome thing to do if u have spare time. I think it was an OUTSTANDING idea to and read at the same time because u can do things instead of flipping a page or looking. Further more u can actually have options for some things which is a FINOMENELE idea because if u have one option then it would be kind of boring! That's why I like the typing books.
Whoa!! That room looks really cool. I like a lot of stories in Club Penguin. And many kinds too! I like to read and type the books in the bookroom and my favorite of those is Green Slime by far.
I like the journal of captain Rockhopper story the most because it is a mystery of him. I like mysterious stories very much. Its also a story about how he gets a puffle. That is why I like that story very much.
my favorite club penguin story is the medievil myth because I love the medievil party it my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When a polar bear hated the cold and went on an iceberg to go somewhere warm and instead floated all the way to Club Penguin!
Its sooooooooooooo coool cp youre the best website ever I really like this image with the moon youre suuuuupppppperrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Waddle on super Cp
A few years ago there was a secret map heading towards a new place it became the cove I thought it was great it was totally new and very cool. I also loved catching waves it was so great it is still my favorite place.
Well, I dont have a fav story because ! like them all! But i like sortys that have fairys or wizards for mermaids the most! Thats why I LOVE the midevil party! Right after I finish playing Club Penguin when the midevil party is going on, I go up in my bed a READ!:) You guys do so much to make Club Penguin AWESOME! I like the sortys that have wizards, fairys, and mermaids in it because I think it has the most advencher! It have mistery, fantisy, and sometimes even a mission! Thanks again for making Club Penguin so great! Waddle on CP!
I like the Lime Green Dojo Clean one because its really funny and I love to tipe its just so fun when you tipe but if you find all the bouns coins in the story you earn eight hundred coins
That's Awesome please post never been posted before
what do you mean by story?
also, i just figured out that that map with the FLAG SHAPED THINGS WITH QUESTION MARKS IN THEM; you put the correct flag there.
if you dont know what i mean, let me show you. imagine that there is a blank gray flag with a question mark in it.
imagine that the blank flag is pointing to the scorn's castle.
what flag do you put on the blank flag? the scorn flag, of course!
Hi Cp!
I realy like the Club Penguin Short story: Never Wake a Sleeping Sensei.
It has a great storyline, and shows teamwork between the ninjas, when
at first they were arguing. I liked the part at the end, when we knew the
Sensei had tricked them into working together!
Waddle On Cp!
my favirte story is fraky big show becase it show that you can do anything you want to
My favorite Club Penguin story would have to be all the books in the book room. They are just fantastic books and I read one of them every time. They are good because they are just so interesting, fun to read and some can be really funny. I wish the snowball press would make more books. Waddle on!
Slime green, dojo clean!

I like the Puffle plush that wheres the medieval helmet. It is good for your puffles to be save form Scorn.It will make your puffle really save so he or she wont get his or here burned from the dragon. Waddle on Clubpenguin.P.S Make sure to keep your puffle safe!!!
I think story #3 was the best so far. I'm always interested in fantasy, so anything about fairies always catches my eye. And i will never forget to say: WADDLE ON CP!(And waddling and waddling.....)
Have you felt like your ever lonely or sad? I have. Then i just watched TV and sat on my bed then I saw a commercial about clubpenguin so I registered and then I logged in. I played a few games,I went a few places and I met new friends. Clubpenguin is a place where you could have fun,play fun games,and hang out with new friends. I felt so sad then when I went to clubpenguin and it's like my whole life changed. Clubpenguin is my own home.People at Clubpengin,YOU ROCK! Waddle on!
My favorite club penguin story comes out every year on a new years day or that week. You guessed it, its the year past story with all the parties and the pictures from the party. I love it because I can look back at all the old parties that I know and love. I remember when cp was flooded temporaloly and it was said to be the water party. that was hilarious.WADDLE ON CP!
Well my favorite story is "My Puffle". I love that story so much because it talks about the funny,cool,creative balls of fluff named PUFFLES!!!!!!!! So that is my favorite story... Waddle on C.P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From the earth day special that clubpenguin is having i'm planting trees all over the park like ten miles away from my house .so all of you should really try doing this for the earth and all the animals.
My favorite Club Penguin story is the stories with the club penguin band they rock! Waddle On Club Penguin!
My favorite Story? like... the stories in the Coffee Lounge? well my favorite one is about the penguin who goes off course on a jet pack and meets rockhopper! I think that would be really cool if you could do that, I'd love to help rockhopper on his ship sometime! I hope this gets posted... I've never been posted before, anyways Waddle on CP!
Dear Club penguin i like all the parties you made like the One Party where to save lives of animals in Africa so i send toy,s and clothes to Africa and clean my own house but i cant wait till the medivel party and wait to meet Gary at the Lighthouse and i like the comment too Waddle on Club Penguin C.P -lost emphaty
Wow! It looks so cool! I cant wait for the medieval party, its my fave!
My favourite club penguin story is Rockhopper and the stowaway because it turns out they were really good friends.If you look carefully in the book you can find out that he was always wearing a friendship bracelet.I also got the friendship bracelet and I love to wear that bracelet when I am meeting up with my friends.
my faveorite club penguin story is the one of rockhopper and the stoway. i think the story shows how everyone deserves friendship. and friendship bracelets are the perfect way to prove it
My favorite what are you talking about anyday anytime i enjoyed all CP storys like the time we got the brownpuffle the expadition the time we rode on the sled and on rockhoppers ship meeting candance sensei Rockhopper PH Gary rookie and aunt artica i enjoy all Cp storys their like a flower in my brain the will never leave Waddle on before the dragon catches you
Truth or dare
I LOVE IT but its scary DX
my favorite story is this one because i like to save animals
I love the pool room because right now if you go down there there is lots of gold. I don't know what its for maybe they will give it away for free because that is way to much gold for a person to have. Well almost to much for everybody because i am sure Rockhopper would think that's a good a mount for him L O L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, my favorite story is not a story, but a tale, of some secret agents and a polar bear. They were archenemies. They were practicing a mission called the Veggie Villain. The agent had solved many things that the bear caused. But, now, the bear was about to blow up the HQ! But, just before the HQ exploded, the agent pulled a secret switch. A colored keypad opened up and the agent successfully typed in the code. Another secret agent came out and teleported them out. The best part, they got out just in time! After that, they had a popcorn party! And a little bit later, the agents got a new HQ!
The End.
Waddle on Club Penguin!
My Favourite Story is Rockhopper and The Stowaway P.S The Medieval Party looks Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite story is the Rockhopper story in the book room. It's about how Rockhopper finds a stowaway in his ship, and sees the stowaway has a cool bracelet. I even got a free rainbow bracelet from the book!
WOW! The lighthouse looks awesome! P.S looks like rad scientist would be there :D waddle on buddy!
My favorite story is lme green dojo clean. I like it because it shows that you should try to keep your house clean. (or if you live with your parents your bedroom.) You also shouldn't go and make a huge mess for someone else to clean. If you make a mess you should clean it up without needing anything. Also if you don't ever clean up in the house or anywhere you could end up having your house looking so bad that nobody can live there and you wouldn't want that. So wheneve you make a mess clean it up so the next person doesn't have to.
P.S. Waddle on cp.
this is so scary i love it i cant wait tell the party!!
My favorite Club Penguin story is the Fairy Fables story! I love it because it has so many fairy tales in it, it's funny, and fun to act out! I also love all the coustumes! It is also my favorite play! By the way I can't wait for the Medieval Party! Waddle on CP!
My favourite Club Penguin story is Rockhopper and the Stowaway as the story never gets old and is equally as exciting everytime I read it. I also love that Rockhopper and Bambadee learn the true meaning of friendship at the end. In Rockhopper and the Stowaway Bambadee hides from Rockhopper, I love to hide with my buddies as it's really fun to look high and low for you buddies. When I first started Club Penguin my favourite item was the Friendship Bracelet as it is made from so many pretty colours. Friendship is very important. Waddle On.
Cool thx happy! and my fave story on cp is... the friendship bracelet cause its sweet and actually pretty realistic because it does happen alot!
(and u get a awesome bracelet inside when u read it!)

I love this story because it is well updated and I think that will be the best Medieval party yet in club penguin and by the look on the map if you ever looked on a camping map it is so little but the way there is so long! Feel's that this is gonna be an adventure for some aventure lovin'g penguin's (and red puffles!) so WADDLE ON and thanks for attention ;)
Awesome! It really looks like a place Gary might spend time in. I really want the medieval party to come now! I've been waiting for two whole weeks ( I'm not sure if that is the exact time ). I looked at the video. My favorite cp story is the medieval story the notes are telling because they sound very misterious. ps. I think the Dragon King is sending these notes. pss. please post this! I have never posted before.

I like the story my friend nuttycute3 said. The Rockhopper story.
I like The Veggie Villan Mission I think it really sums all the PSA missions up

My fav club penguin story is puffle trouble because herbert is up to no good and the puffles save us. Its amazing that a puffle can be so curious. I love puffles! Oh and one more thing........
My favorite Club Penguin story is The Great Puffle Switch. Because.... IT'S A GREAT AND EXCITING STORY!!!!! Also because you NEVER know how it's going to end in other words you get to chose witch path you want to take. That's my favorite Club Penguin story so....
Waddle On CP! :)
My favorite Club Penguin story is the story "April Fools!" I like this story because I think it is very interesting to see all of the clues and you get to add your own little twist to it, like when the scared person in the book room who can be a cheerleader or astronaut or hip hop D.J., you get to go to their iggy and look for the things needed. ITS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like all of them. they are cool
my favorite story in club penguin would be fairy fables. i like that story because its not what you would expect. everything is different in every scene. it's nothing like all the others.
that's the lighthouse and this medieval party seems really cool p.s. this is my first medieval party waddle on cp. : ]
The way i help endangered animals is...I have this tree at my house and i put out animal food every night for stray animals to eat and every morning when i check the bowls of food all the food is gone!
my favorite Club penguin story is the story of how Herbert P. Bear esquire and his side kick Klutzy the crab came to cp.
i like all the story clues i liked story clue four story clue three story clue two and story clue one and one more thing! WADDLE ON CP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
favorite story from club penguin is the clues from this mediaval party and were going to fight a dragon,thyeres going to be awsome.
If you mean book room type (game books) then i think mine would be: lime green!
If you mean REAL book room book (not game) then i think it would be: Rock hopper's quest!
If you mean Party story type then of course... MEDIEVAL!!!
P.S. please post,
i have been posted before but only 1 time!
i like 1 it was good i like the kingdom part my favorite sentence is this one No heroes in town arise from the town could defeat me because it gives me. the clue that it will be challenging and hard and hard tricky stuff is fun to me! I love the medieval party it will be epic i mostly love the dragons but that clue that clue 1 gave me makes it sound EPIC!
Its hard but my favorite Club Penguin story is star reporter. ( the book ) I like it because you get to pick your own path like the other books but not only that because its exciting! Its a cool story trying to find a good report to do but its a little hard on the way. I think its an awesome book and everyone should try reading Club penguin books. One reason I like Club Penguin is because it shows everyone reading is fun. But thats only one reason I like Club Penguin.
I have to say, I love ALL the Club Penguin stories! I spend lots of time as my penguin reading the stories and everything :)
Hey Penguins, guess what I do everyday? I am a penguin who works at five jobs everyday, I work at the gift shop, pizza parlor, coffee shop, and the cove. I never get a break but when I do I am always at the ice rink skating...
I like this story ''what say the banana when you step on it?'' NOTING bananas can't talk!
My favorite story!!? I love all of them! But I have to say, Herbert was on my mind ever since I found Club Penguin. He and Klutsy were always ruining parties and doing things that got me frusterated! Remember the last Medieval Party? It was very clever of Herbert to steal the three powerful dragon robots. He destroyed some of the Everyday Phoning Facility! But that didn't make the agents give up. All the EPF agents came and destroyed Herbert once and for all!.......or at least they thought they did. Now he's back! After he destroyed the PSA with a popcorn machine, we are not going to let him destroy anymore! Bring it on, Herbert, bring it on! The penguins shall waddle on and raise their flippers for the island of Club Penguin!!!
my favorite book was the history books. because they told all the adventures we did and bring back nice memories and friendships.i also like that they show secrets that was back that day like pins! but i read them over and over and over again.WADDLE ON CP
My favorite Club Penguin Story would have to be you guys helping people and kids in Haiti by building a playground and an awesome Club Penguin wall just outside of the playground.I think you guys are the nicest people ever because you help all around the world and you guys have inspired me to pick up trash from the ground and throw it away and or recycle it.Everyone should help Earth!
all of them
Ok i can't wait in till the party. I love that place up there. I thing its in the lighthouse.
N please post. I never got post.
My favorite thing to do on clubpenguin is be nice and anyone whos lonley ill ask them to be my friend.ill adout poor pookies and dogs,cats,lions and penguins:) you can try that to! Waddle on cp!
in club penguin i think that the clues on the medivel party are really interesting because when it says that maybe Gary the Gadget Guy uses the hideout it made me think that what if it isnt Gary who uses it... Waddle On C.P

n3 PUFAs Do Not Affect Adipose Tissue Inflammation in Overweight to Moderately Obese Men and Women.
Publication Type:Journal Article
Source:The Journal of nutrition, Volume 143, Issue 8, p.1340-7 (2013)
Keywords:2013, July 2013, Public Health Sciences Division
Recent studies have indicated that omega-3 (n3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) decrease adipose tissue inflammation in rodents and in morbidly obese humans. We investigated whether a diet rich in n3 PUFAs from both marine and plant sources reduces adipose tissue and systemic inflammation in overweight to moderately obese adults. We conducted a randomized, single-blind, parallel-design, placebo-controlled feeding trial. Healthy men and women with a body mass index between 28 and 33 kg/m(2) consumed a diet rich in n3 PUFAs (3.5% of energy intake; n = 11) from plant and marine sources or a control diet (0.5% of energy intake from n3 PUFAs; n = 13). These diets were consumed for 14 wk (ad libitum for 12 wk). All foods were provided for the entire study period. Subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue and fasting plasma were collected after the first 2 wk with the control diet and again at the end of the 14-wk dietary period. The primary outcome of this ex post analysis was the adipose tissue gene expression of 13 key mediators of inflammation. Adipose tissue gene expression of inflammatory mediators did not differ between the 2 groups, after adjustment for weight change. Furthermore, none of the 5 plasma markers of systemic inflammation differed significantly as an effect of diet treatment. We conclude that a relatively high dose of n3 PUFAs from plant and marine sources did not significantly lower adipose tissue or systemic inflammation in overweight to moderately obese healthy men and women over 14 wk.

The latest global airline safety analysis by the UK Civil Aviation Authority indicates that, despite advancing technology and improved aircraft reliability, crew judgement and actions remain the most consistent causal factor in global catastrophic accidents. That situation will remain true for the foreseeable future, according to Dr Hazel Courteney, head of research and strategic analysis.
For that reason, she says, quality pilot training at all levels remains the critical factor in preventing really serious accidents.
Speaking at the recent Flight Safety Foundation International Aviation Safety Seminar in Honolulu, Courteney was presenting a study on prioritising strategies with the highest potential to reduce the chances of catastrophic accidents, as well as less serious safety events.
Courteney revealed: "Crew-related issues dominate accident causal factors, featuring in 75% of fatal accidents." She qualified this statement, explaining: "It is important to note that this [statistic] does not imply that the pilot was at fault or to blame, because it is now well-established that 'pilot error' cannot continue to be the scapegoat for the many and various factors that can lead to the error occurring. However, it is important to include crew factors in this data [analysis] because it highlights the crucial importance of pilot performance in safety, and therefore reminds us to invest resources in anything that might support it - [for example] training and simulation facilities - and to minimise influences that might adversely contribute - time pressure, fatigue and distraction."
Courteney's study comments: "Improving safety is getting harder. The easy changes have been made and the obvious lessons have been learned. Accidents are getting rare and tend to involve multiple, unique circumstances." This fact predisposes to situations that test the crew's resourcefulness, technical knowledge and skills.
The CAA study has found that the three top catastrophic accident risks all involve loss of control (LOC) under different circumstances. One is LOC following a technical failure, another LOC "for non-technical reasons", and the final one is loss of control caused by icing. Following the LOC categories, Courteney says controlled flight into terrain remains the next most serious catastrophic risk, followed by post-crash fire and runway excursions and overruns.
The CAA's study is continuing, says Courteney.

Lightning strikes, Greely-Falmouth settle for tie
CUMBERLAND—Tuesday afternoon's Falmouth at Greely field hockey showdown had a little bit of everything.
Except a winner.
Both teams entered the game hungry for a victory and it appeared the Rangers were en route to one when they scored twice in the first six minutes. Greely had an opportunity to completely seize control before halftime when it had five successive penalty corners, but couldn't convert and still held a two-goal advantage at the break.
The Yachtsmen came out hot for the second half and less than a minute in, took advantage of a fortunate bounce to cut the deficit in half. Then, with 16:53 to go, Falmouth tied the score, but two minutes later, lightning was seen in the area.
With a minimum of a half hour delay staring them in the face and the field conditions getting worse by the rainy minute, the officials, coaches and Greely athletic director David Shapiro consulted and agreed to call the contest, leaving it deadlocked, 2-2, as the teams split the Heal Points in their final regular season meeting of the season.
"I'm not happy with a tie, but it wasn't worth having any players injured," said Greely coach Kristina Lane Prescott.
Always entertaining
Greely and Falmouth's games are often thrilling and are always memorable, for one reason or another. The rivals last met Opening Night, Aug. 29, at Falmouth, where the Yachtsmen enjoyed a surprisingly easy 3-0 victory.
Falmouth won its next two games, 3-0, at Cape Elizabeth and 4-0 to Yarmouth, but then went cold, losing 1-0 at home to Lake Region in overtime, 1-0 at York and 2-1 to visiting Fryeburg.
The loss to the Yachtsmen was the first of four straight for the Rangers to open the year. Greely also fell to visiting Fryeburg (3-1), at York (2-1) and at two-time defending Class C state champion North Yarmouth Academy (3-0). After getting in the win column, 4-0, over visiting Gray-New Gloucester, the Rangers dropped a 3-1 decision at Fryeburg before righting the ship Monday at Wells with a 4-1 victory.
Greely kept the momentum going early in Tuesday's contest.
Less than five minutes in, the Rangers broke the ice when senior Brittany Rogers played a long ball ahead to senior Rachel Hanson, who passed to classmate Jess Wilson, who made a nice move around Falmouth junior goalie Hillary Nash before sending the ball into a wide open cage for a 1-0 lead.
A mere 76 seconds later, Hanson scored a goal of her own as she tipped home a shot off the stick of senior Freyja Victory.
"The girls made a decision before the Wells game to restart their season," said Prescott. "We've had some struggles. It's behind us now. Obviously I wished it was the whole season, but we've moved forward. It's on the seniors. There are 14 of them. I told them it is what you make of it and you have to give everything you have and they are. The Wells game was unbelievable. The beginning of this game was too. We had solid passing. We moved the ball."
Just like that, the Yachtsmen were in a 2-0 hole.
"Greely came out ready to play," said Falmouth coach Robin Haley. "They passed the ball beautifully. They executed. Our feet were tied up and we were fumbling. I said from the get-go, that this could be a one half game and that we needed to score early. It may have unsettled them."
The visitors didn't buckle and in fact, carried play for the majority of remainder of the first half.
With 18:30 to go, junior Mikey Richards was at the far post for a sharp cross from classmate Leika Scott, but couldn't tap it in.
Then, in the latter stages, the Yachtsmen earned a penalty corner, then another, then another, then another and yet another, but could only put a grand total of one shot on goal in that stretch and went into the half down, 2-0.
Falmouth did take advantage of a break early in the second half to cut the deficit in half.
Scott attempted to whack at the ball, but a defender got her stick in the play and the ball popped up in the air to Richards, who passed to sophomore Elle Fitzgerald, who sent the ball into the cage to make it a 2-1 game.
Greely then had numerous corners, but like Falmouth in the first half, failed to capitalize, leaving the door open.
With 16:53 left to play in regulation, with the rain coming down harder, Richards tied the score, finishing a pass from Scott.
Both teams thought they'd have nearly 17 minutes (and perhaps even 16 more if the game went to overtime) to decide matters, but instead, the game was just about complete.
A minute after the tying goal, Yachtsmen junior Jillian Rothweiler broke in for what could have been the go-ahead goal, but Rangers senior goalie Michelle Gray, who replaced classmate Leah Dixon at halftime, raced out to break up the play.
Unfortunately for Gray, she was hurt during the collision and play was stopped for several minutes.
Once Gray was helped to the sidelines, play resumed, but not for long.
This time, the delay was due to weather, as lightning was viewed in the area. After a consultation, the game was called and the teams settled for a 2-2 tie.
"I'm glad we had a second half so we could tie it up," Haley said. "We played more of our game. I think our girls needed that."
"We knew they'd come back," Prescott said. "They're Falmouth. They're a great team. Always competitive. It's always a great game."
Each team finished with six penalty corners. The Yachtsmen's six came in the first half, while the Rangers' were all earned after halftime.
"We stopped (Greely's) corners, but we had a bunch of corners on our end that we couldn't execute," said Haley. "That's what we need to figure out."
Dixon finished with six saves to two for Nash. Falmouth had an 8-4 edge in shots.
Second half
Falmouth (3-3-1 and sixth in the latest Western B Heals) has another huge test Thursday night when it hosts York. A trip to Fryeburg and big home games against NYA and Cape Elizabeth also remain on the schedule.
Greely (now 2-5-1 and 11th in the standings) is back in action Thursday at home against Cape Elizabeth. Yarmouth pays a visit Saturday. The Rangers still face pivotal showdowns at Lake Region Monday and at home versus York Sept. 29.
"We know at this point we need to win some games," said Prescott.

Maxime Bernier has Caught the Bug
June 8, 2010 | 4 Comments
Maxime Bernier, Conservative MP for the riding of Beauce, QC, has an op-ed today in National Post's Full Comment titled, 'Inflation should be 0%'. Now, this is an interesting debate; a few months ago, Michael Kinsley and Paul Krugman went a few rounds on the subject, with Ryan Avent scoring the bout in favour of Prof. Krugman.
Sadly, Mr. Bernier's column did not live up to the standards of reasoned economic debate. A snippet:
Let's start with common sense and what's happening in our daily lives. Do you, as consumers, prefer to buy stuff that is cheaper or more expensive? I think we all know the answer to that!
We are all consumers, and we all benefit when prices go down. If we pay less for one good, it means we have some money left to buy other goods. More purchasing power means a higher standard of living for everyone.
Well, sure, I guess "we" all like it when prices go down… assuming our purchasing power, measured in nominal dollars, remains the same. Thankfully, according to Mr. Bernier, everything else will remain the same:
Every year, however, we become a little bit more productive. We create new goods and services. We find new methods to produce them more efficiently. Technology gets better. And if there is population growth, there are also more people working.
So there are always more and more goods and services available in the economy, but we have the same quantity of money to buy them. Prices will obviously have to adjust by going down. If the economy grows, let's say, by 3% a year, while the money supply grows by 0%, then we will necessarily get price deflation.
All right, fine, every year we become more productive… and this will happen forever and at a sufficient rate to make the economy expand appropriately, right? There's absolutely no chance that we might not see sufficient productivity gains, right?
And how about that population growth, how on earth do we assume that "if there is population growth, there are also more people working"? Will we magically solve unemployment? There are just too many wishes in this op-ed to really take it seriously. Mr. Bernier assumes that there will be work for an expanded population. He assumes businesses will always be making a profit. He assumes that a fixed money supply will result in this expanded population having the exact same amount of money as everyone has today. He assumes that productivity gains, in a vacuum, will cure all.
This folksie economics sounds all nice and good. It's full of "common sense", but it breaks down at the point that we actually investigate the underlying economics of it all. Mr. Bernier writes much about buying products at lower prices, but he never discusses reductions in the price of labour – reductions in income. There's no discussion of multipliers or the velocity of money. No discussion of savings or credit, debt or deficits. There is just the assumption that the money supply is perfect right now, and, thus, should never change.
Oh, there is some discussions of computers:
In fact, there is nothing mysterious about the effects of lower prices. Think about computers. Fifteen years ago, they were big, not very powerful, had few gadgets, and cost a lot more than today. Prices in the computer business have been going down all the time since then.
Have people stopped buying computers or waited years before buying a new one to benefit from even lower prices? Absolutely not. On the contrary, more computers are being sold as their prices go down.
What? We should have zero inflation because computers have gone down in price? Sure, we may like to buy stuff when it's cheap, but that narrow analysis of consumer behaviour has little bearing on monetary policy.
But eventually, we get to the crux of the matter:
Note that in this context, businesses are still able to make profits, because their costs also go down.
This is not just theory. It is what happened several times in the 19th century, in an era of rapid economic development. At a time when there were no central banks and when money was calculated as a certain quantity of gold or silver.
I believe that within a few years, we will need to hold a serious debate about returning to the gold standard.
So the gold bug has come to the Conservative caucus. I'd like to get into a big discussion about the benefits of not being on the gold standard, but it's late, and I'm just not up for it. However, I would like to leave y'all with one question:
The argument against fiat money seems to be its arbitrary nature; governments just "decide" what the value of the currency is. In what way is that substantially different than a government arbitrarily deciding which precious metal will determine the value of the currency? Fiat by proxy is still fiat.

Zero inflation? Forever? The lady is as crazy as a catfish. Money supply management is an integral part of any countries economic control and frankly I've not heard too many complaints of the management of the looney in my meager 20 years.

There have been a few quibbles here and there about the management of the loonie, but, yeah, economic expansion kinda requires monetary expansion.

Love your analysis it is on the money (no pun intended). The centre of the global economy (US for now) has its tender manufactured by an external institution – The Federal Reserve. Many unknowingly assume the Fed is internal arm of the US government, but that assumption has been carefully orchestrated and marketed.
The membership of the Fed is not publicly disclosed, it has free rein to concoct policy decisions it deems beneficial, and until recently (motion for a limited audit) has never been audited. The Fed produces currency and charges a fee for its production, as well as interest on the totality of any monies created. Does it make sense to pay an external body to produce and establish monetary policies, without any consultation or input?
The notion of pegging the dollar to gold would have been considered blasphemous; however, recent events in the global stock markets bear the logic of advocating such a policy. The issue is not analyzing the raison d'être of fiat by proxy, but rather an expose of the actors (bankers, WTO, etc.) involved that devise schemes to ensure the enslavement of indigenous economies. Whether it is gold, or the dollar the stability of any currency is influenced and determined by external parties with their own global agenda.

Preserving the Past, Informing the Future

Born at Woburn, Mass., May 22d, 1773; educated at Yale College, where he graduated in 1792; became a tutor in that institution, in March 1795, (succeeding James Gould in that office,) and remained there somewhat over a year; studied law with Oliver Ellsworth, (afterwards Chief Justice of the United States,) then attended Judge Reeve's lectures at Litchfield, and while a tutor in Yale-College, received instruction from Simeon Baldwin of New-Haven, (afterwards a judge of the superior court.) He was admitted to the bar, at New-Haven, in the spring of 1796; and in May of that year, settled in the practice of law at Norwalk, in this State. He represented that town in the General Assembly, May and October sessions, 1798. In November 1807, he removed from Norwalk to Fairfield, in the same county, where he has since resided, and still resides. In May 1814, he became an assistant, or member of the upper branch of legislature, and continued in that situation, by annual elections, until May 1818.
