A bill that would tie New York to a movement to base presidential elections on the popular vote passed the state Senate and Assembly on Tuesday. It has drawn both support and criticism from north country representatives.
The bill, which is sponsored by state Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, could make New York state the 11th state or district in the country to adopt the measure if it is signed into law by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River, both voted for the measure.
Sen. Ritchie said that she felt the bill would increase New Yorks importance on the national political stage during presidential elections, which typically see candidates focusing on hard-won swing states.
I think all voters should be able to have all national candidates come to their states and work for their votes. ... My office has just recently gotten a number of letters asking me to support it, Sen. Ritchie said. Its important to encourage people to take part and get involved in the process.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, said she voted against the bill for three primary reasons: a concern about the balance of states rights, a fear of unintended consequences arising from the enactment of the popular vote initiative and her disagreement with the notion that the electoral system is broken.
I have some concerns about trying to override the Constitution on an electoral matter, Mrs. Russell said. The Constitution has been amended many times for voting, but none of them have gone so far as to get rid of the electoral college.
She said she was concerned that moving to an electoral system based entirely on the popular vote could open up every presidential election to challenges that then would have to be resolved through the courts a process Mrs. Russell said has proven to be time-consuming and controversial.
Mrs. Russell said that the idea that the electoral college system is broken is not founded on history.
She added that, while many people point to recent presidential elections in which the winner of the popular vote did not win the election, those results were determined by the court system and were not a result of an inherent flaw in the electoral college.
In his comments to the state Senate before voting on the bill, Sen. Griffo voiced frustration at the fact that presidential candidates often focus their efforts on so-called battleground states, often at the expense of other areas in the country, including New York state.
Elections are the foundation of our democracy, Sen. Griffo said. Potential presidential candidates concentrate more than two-thirds of their advertising budgets and two-thirds of their campaign stops in just five states. Almost 100 percent of their message is seen in approximately 16 battleground states. New York has 19.5 million people, but were routinely ignored by campaigns.
Mrs. Russell countered that point in a telephone interview: I dont think getting rid of the electoral college would change that dynamic at all.
According to nationalpopularvote.com, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maryland, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, California, Hawaii and the District of Columbia have all enacted the popular vote law.
Combined, these states and district have 136 electoral votes, which is 50.4 percent of the 270 electoral votes that are required to elect the president and for the law to take effect.
With New Yorks 29 electoral votes, the number of total electoral votes for states that have passed the popular vote law would increase to 165, and the initiative would have 61 percent of the votes needed to go into effect.
Support for the popular vote law does not necessarily conform to party affiliation.
The bill was sponsored by a Republican Sen. Griffo in the Senate and a Democrat Jeffrey Dinowitz, D-Bronx in the Assembly.
The bill was supported by Republicans 27-2 and by Democrats 30-2 in the Senate and passed in the Assembly by a 100-40 ratio, with 78 Democrats and 22 Republicans voting in favor of the bill, according to nationalpopularvote.com.
The bill has passed the Senate twice before, once when the chamber was controlled by Democrats and another time when it was dominated by Republicans.
Last year, the state Conservative Party issued a memo supporting the national popular vote.
The bill has now moved to the governors desk for his approval.

Thought I'd start off with a check-in to see how everyone is doing in the new year? My IC continues; progress is slow but I do feel like I am making progress. Wishing all the othe SAB & Spouses of SAB Survivors healing and peace in 2012.
(edited due to SmartPhone not being as smart as it should be)
[This message edited by CanISurvive at 5:02 PM, January 16th (Monday)]
Moved my stats to my Profile; click there for my story.
I am a Phoenix; I may be in the ashes stage at the moment, but I am now actively working on my Rebirth. =)
PS: I edit posts for typos & clarity
Ditto CanISurvive: Wishing ALL Healing and Peace in 2012!
My first post in the old part I was on http://www.survivinginfidelity.com/forums.asp?tid=158510&AP=721&HL=
It was the first time that I had "spoken out" about the abuse that I had survived as a child or the rape that I had survived as a teen.
Since then, I continue to see my IC, continue to read, and I am now working at a psychiatric facility where I help others who have gone through similar experiences sometimes. Not all of the patients, just some.
Which is good because I couldn't do it all the time. It's hard. I come home and cry. It's good though. For me and for them. It's a way to pay it forward. To help and to heal.
Anyway, it's always one day at a time.
Reminding myself that I'm in control of myself and no one else.
Reminding myself that I can't fix anything but myself.
I still have nightmares on bad nights. They are fewer and farther apart.
Maybe someday they will stop.
That's my update.
I tried two times to tell my mother. The first I was about 4 or 5-years old. I didn't have the words to describe what he was doing to me, and she didn't understand what I was trying to say (or didn't WANT to understand). So I was forced back into his affections. The 2nd time I was older & begged her not to make me be around him or allow him to touch/hug me. She became very angry with me and again forced me to submit to him.
As an adult I've discovered that he molested most/all of his children, and the majority of his grandchildren. Boys, girls, didn't matter. I am aware of one instance in which he fondled the wife of an adult grandson.
At age 19 I was date raped. He showed me his gun but didn't put it against me, just showed it to me & laid it on his nightstand. I got the message. He made me tell him I loved him over & over, and then he turned into some kind of sick stalker or something. Forced me into a sick boyfriend/girlfriend situation, insisting I keep telling him I loved him. Threatening to tell my family what a slut I was to have sex with him, forcing to harm them... I eventually moved to another state & he followed me, broke into my room...
And now I'm married to a SA.
I just want it all to stop.
My name is Holly. I was molested by my maternal uncle for as long back as I can remember. He also molested my mom and her sister. When I was in 2nd grade, he needed a place to stay, so my mom allowed him to move in our home in exchange for providing free child care. What a great deal!!!
I was date-raped at age 19 (this was how I lost my virginity) and found out I was pregnant 3 weeks later. I gave the baby up for adoption and spent the next 21 years trying to make the pain go away.
I learned in adulthood that my uncle molested every kid in my generation, boys and girls. It is so sad and sick to look at my family tree.
And I never learned so many important things about love and relationships and trust. I never knew I was worth being taken care of.
My 1st H cheated on me multiple times and eventually left me for the OW. And now I find myself in marriage #2 with a WH. But things are different this time.
I got sober in 2008 and I learned that I am valuable. I am beautiful. I am worthy of being loved and cherished and respected. And my H is rising to the challenge. Every day is a new beginning, and I am finally experiencing love.
But so many of the scars from my childhood are still there. It pisses me off that someone had the power to absolutely destroy me when I had no power at all.
Thank you all for being here and for being willing to open up and share your stories. It helps to know I am not alone.
Since August-Sept, I've turned a corner in my healing, much to do with reaching out to my aunt, my abuser's sister, and she has been a fierce force in my corner. When I started to notice the change this fall, I was afraid to say anything out loud, worried I'd jinx myself. And now, I'm ok if it's temporary or tomorrow is dark and bleak.
I had a light bulb moment when thinking about everything and all I have been through, and I'm pretty sure I've put this out there somewhere else on this forum, but it still bears repeating because it's huge for my own healing journey. I'm a sort of "things happen for a reason" person. All my suffering must be for a reason, and surely I won't suffer anymore now that I'm healing and working on myself. And yet I kept suffering in many ways, because of me. I was allowing myself to believe that I'm owed a pain-free life here on out, so when anything bad happened, a traffic ticket, a bad day, the kids acted up, it was all the injustices in the world pitted against me, life sucked and wasn't fair. Life doesn't work that way. There are no guarantees, no promises. Life has ups and downs, bad things happen, good things happen, sometimes for no rhyme or reason, some things are simply out of our control. When I let go of that perfect life I had built up in my head, let go of trying to control my life's outcome to fit what I had envisioned, I started to feel that allusive peace I thought I'd never find.
It was acceptance. I didn't do anything to cause my abuse, and no karmic energy of the universe caused it either. I don't know why it happened and I still ponder those whys now and then, but I can't change that it happened. I can only change how I deal with it now, those choices are mine, to deal in a healthy way, or an unhealthy way. I have accepted that my abuse is not the last painful thing I will go through. For some reason, this is comforting thinking. Life isn't perfect, and that's ok, it doesn't have to be. There will be pain, there will be joy. It's enough. I finally feel like I'm a survivor, not just surviving or simply existing.
This has been the longest I have gone without cycling through a depressive episode and actually not trying to NOT make it happen or make it happen. It's ok to feel sad and angry at times, it's ok to feel down, and it's ok to feel ok in my own skin. I have let go of a lot of guilt, misplaced guilt, guilt for cutting my parents out of my life, for not throwing some sort of crumb of hope of reconciliation their way, guilt if they harm themselves, guilt for being a helpless child. The grip the abuse had on my life has lessened greatly.
I'm healing, not healed. I work on accepting and loving myself every day, focusing on my strengths. I work on honest communication and intimacy with my husband. I have immense gratitude for the caring and sensitive individuals who post here and have reached out with a kind word. I hope everyone is finding their inner peace.
Spousal rape. Yes, it DOES happen. I still can't say the word out loud. I'm in counseling but I've been sleeping on the couch for over two years even though he moved out 8 months ago. I cannot even look at the bed.
This explains so much. It's something he never told me. The first 10 years of our marriage were great, although I was a bit more permissable about porn back then & we'd watch it together to spice things up. Before he got totally wound up with the internet...first huge porn downloading of which he'd never be able to watch all in his lifetime, I did notice he started spending more time watching the porn movies than me.
Things started to go to a downhill slide when he got one, said it was a mistake, but it was a very violent one with gang rape. That pretty much squelched it for me, having been gang raped on two occasions. It wasn't long after that he started to act out with women online.
But anyways, I'm also an SA survivor & this new revelation makes so much sense. The whole family is screwed up. The sister besides being older was a half-sister if that makes a difference. She seems to be the only one he has a bond with, even though she's never told him the time of day since we've been together...she's been a meth addict on & off & really never communicates with him.
During a recent meeting we had with my Psychologist, the question was brought up on who the sister learned this behavior from. I was surprised my H said not just her father, but also possibly his! This has been quite the surprise since he's always presented his growing up as Ozzie & Harriet, but forgets he told me how as the 3rd youngest in the family of 4 he was pretty much ignored or tried to stay out of the chaos. And here I thought I chose the sane one out of their group.
Anyways, if anyone knows any books or has personally experienced this, I'd really like to know more...thx in advance.
― Maya Angelou
BUT...the popular myth is that females are not capable of this & tho less prevalent, it's not true. I became a victim of my mother of all people. Yep, there are very few books about that. I'll be the first to admit it's not something I feel free to discuss, much less alone, write a book. Add in the confusion and child like thoughts..and then between siblings "were we only playing doctor?" type messages, yeah, sounds like there won't be much, if anything out there for the casual reader...only psychological journals I guess.
The aftermath of D-Day was a big trigger for me. H accused me one night of never being truly honest with him about me and my past. This led to me putting into words for the first time in my life, for the first time in 20+ years, about my molestation as a child. Now that all this is churned up, it's really hard. I get triggered all the f-ing time. I used to watch SVU with my mom and siblings, who know nothing of my abuse, and now I can't watch it without triggering. WTF!!
I thought I had put all this behind me. Sorry for the rant. The past 24 hours have been kind of a nightmare for me.
A lot of SAB's compartmentalized to survive. Opening that box does lead to a lot of triggers (I have never watched SVU because it would be highly unpleasant). Are you in any counseling? If not, I strongly recommend you find one soon. As painful as all this is, counseling can really make a difference. Sending you healing thoughts.
deepbreaths, in my limited experience with IC's... they're not gonna make their patient go there and deal with it if the patient doesn't want to. Perhaps your H doesn't exactly want to deal with it and talk about it with an IC? Maybe gender plays a role? I know I'd be somewhat uncomfortable talking to a male IC about the abuse I survived. Perhaps the converse is true for your H?

Emma Watson, British actor and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, co-hosts a special event for UN Women's HeForShe campaign.
The HeForShe campaign is a solidarity movement for gender equality which calls upon men and boys to help end the persisting inequalities faced by women and girls globally.
By Associated Press, Updated: Thursday, March 20, 9:06 PM
UNITED NATIONS undefined A year ago, Egyptian politician and women's rights activist Mervat Tallawy defied the Muslim Brotherhood to spearhead the adoption of a U.N. blueprint to combat violence against women. Now she's back campaigning against conservatives to ensure that equality for women remains at the top of the U.N. agenda.
As head of the Egyptian delegation to the two-week meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women, which ends Friday, Tallawy said she has been working hard to prevent any rollback on hard-fought gains including international recognition of women's reproductive and sexual health and rights.
"We are saying the gains that we have reached during the 1990s, we should not lose it now, or take a step backwards," Tallawy said in an interview on Wednesday between negotiating sessions. "Why are we saying so? Because there is a conservative mood in the world, not only the Islamists, the developing countries, but also in the developed countries."
Last March, Tallawy, who is a minister and president of the National Council for Women-Egypt, surprised and delighted delegates from more than 130 countries when she ignored the Brotherhood and announced that Egypt would join consensus on a 17-page document that sets global standards for action to prevent and end violence against women.
This year, the Commission on the Status of Women is focusing on how women and girls have fared in achieving the U.N. Millennium Development Goals adopted by world leaders in 2000 as the 2015 target date approaches undefined and what should be included in new goals expected to be adopted next year.
The current goals include promoting gender equality and empowerment of women, cutting extreme poverty by half, ensuring every child has a primary school education, reducing maternal and child mortality, and halting and reversing the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
The commission produced a proposed seven-page final document, which ballooned to 45 pages with suggested additions from many countries.
Delegates were still working Thursday night to reduce the text and come up with a final draft. To be approved, it needs all delegates to agree before the conference ends Friday.
Tallawy said she is in a better position this year because the Muslim Brotherhood, which was "a nightmare" on many fronts including on women's rights, has been removed from power.
Compared to last year, she said, extremist conservative positions taken by Iran, Cuba and Russia have softened, "but not totally."
This year, Tallawy said, there is also a group of young conservative diplomats "who get together thinking they can change the world."
Their inclination in the post-2015 agenda is not to mention gender equality or women's issues and focus instead on the environment, sustainable development, climate change and other issues, she said.
The reality is that millions of women are poor, discriminated against, and victims of violence, she said, and the unfinished goals must be carried over into the new goals along with a separate goal on women's equality and empowerment.
"We fought hard to get the rights," Tallawy said. "They got it free."
"That's why a person like me is obliged to stay until the end of the session, so these youngsters will not upside-down the whole situation," she said.

SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution to declare Valentine's Day in San Francisco this year as "One Billion Rising Day" as part of a global movement to end violence against women.
One Billion Rising is an effort to raise awareness about the continuing abuse and rape of women across the world, which on Feb. 14 will be acknowledged at events in 197 countries, including an event at San Francisco City Hall.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution to declare Valentine's Day in San Francisco this year as "One Billion Rising Day" as part of a global movement to end violence against women.
One Billion Rising is an effort to raise awareness about the continuing abuse and rape of women across the world, which on Feb. 14 will be acknowledged at events in 197 countries, including an event at San Francisco City Hall.
The event--open to the public and expected to draw thousands of participants--will feature music, dancing and city officials making a public pledge to end violence.
"Take heed, San Franciscans. Anybody walking in or around City Hall on the afternoon of Valentine's Day risks the sure-to-be awkward sight of seeing our city officials dancing. There's even talk of a flash mob."
"I will dance for every victim and survivor of social violence in San Francisco and to raise awareness that every woman and girl can live free of fear and violence."

ofahn wrote:Before anyone in Baltimore starts getting fitted for Fielder jerseys and learning recipes for tofu burgers, think three moves ahead in this chess game.
First, don't believe ANYTHING that Scott Boras says publicly about his clients . At this point in the game and with the market as limited as it is Boras and Fielder ARE considering a 3/80 - 85M contract or perhaps a 6/155 - 165M with a three year opt out clause. Their problem is that the teams that might sign him to that kind of contract are not what they're looking for - a contender. The bad news for Orioles' fans (if you think that signing Fielder is a good move) is that we would be low on any list of teams that Boras and Fielder would be willing to accept on those terms.
If they're planning on going back on the market in three years they would want a contender's home park where Fielder's numbers would be big. Toronto and Washington both have parks that would benefit Fielder and they are both potential contenders. Of course, Camden Yards would be perfect for his left handed bat but Boras knows we don't have enough in our farm system to make us a contender. If the market completely collapses he might falls into our laps but fans should accept that he will be a three year sideshow while we are rebuilding. I'm not sure I see that as progress. Particularly if Angelos pays Fielder out of money that should be used for the draft and international signings.
I think I now better understand the dilemma that women have when they're eying bad boys across the bar. It might seem like a good idea now but they will almost certainly regret it later.
I would not put Prince in the "bad boy across the bar" category. He has been a good, productive hitter during his career and is a much feared figure in a lineup. Maybe a three year "sideshow" is what this franchise needs - sending a signal to other top stars that Baltimore is in the business to win. I'm all for spending on the draft and international signings but I'm also all in for resesitating this franchise, which has been dormant for years. Yes we need creative thinking, solid drafting and good scouting but we also need a dash of star power to get the Orioles in flight again. IMHO getting Fielder in here for 3 years minimum would be a big start in that direction, giving fans a reason to hope again and sending a signal to other top free agents that Baltimore is back. Just my two cents

What a nice change of pace to hear news about major improvement's to Apple's newest version of its MacBook Pro! With mobile technology more prevalent in our daily lives, consumers are used to being inundated with updates of the latest tablets, smartphones and the like. And while Apple has done a great job of branding its Macs, we just don't get as many updates on them.
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
So without further ado, an anonymous source spoke to MIC Gadget about the possibility of Apple switching back to NVIDIA as the primary GPU of its upcoming Mac Pro. That change is not the only one expected with the latest version of the company's swanky offering. Reports also indicate that the new Mac Pro will sport Intel's upcoming Ivy Bridge chipset. This will result in a faster, more efficient processor than the Sandy Bridge processor thanks to 22 nanometer transistor technology.
Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
These new chips also address the overheating issues that have been problematic with past models with a 30% increase in heat dissipation efficiency. According to the MIC Gadget report there is some testing of 8-core processors with 20MB of cache that would really add some zoom zoom to the Mac Pro.
As it is typically the more creative and aesthetically driven set that reaches for Macs (artists, musicians, writers and the like), they will be pleased to know that NVIDIA's "Kepler" platform was chosen for the graphics (this platform is slated to launch approximately the same time at the new Intel CPUs this year). But, as Apple doesn't plan to unveil its latest Mac Pro line until third quarter of this year, additional details and changes are bound to come our way before the finished product hits shelves. Perhaps we will see peripheral devices at this year's Mobile World Congress that will tie in Apple's personal computer offerings to their strong line iYouNameIt.

The V2 rocket engine was developed in Germany in the early 1940s. The engine was far bigger than any other rocket engine built before, making the V2 rocket the first long range missile used in World War 2.
Propelled by an alcohol and liquid oxygen fuel, V2 had a range of over 320km and travelled at about 1,341m/sec. Incredibly, that's three times faster than the speed of sound! The V2 offensive on the British lasted from September 1944 to March 1945 and close to 2,500 rockets were launched during that period. London alone was hit by over 500. On one particular day in 1944, a V2 carrying a tonne of high explosives was launched from its site in the Netherlands, detonating just five minutes later on homes in Chiswick,West London. The explosion that day killed three people.
The engine's name alone (V2 standing for 'vengeance weapon 2') clearly indicates the idea of inflicting harm or injury through the power of this missile. After the war, work began in Russian larger missiles, based on extensions of V2 technology. However, although the V2 was used for military purposes first, it has also been a vital component in the evolution of space rocketry!
The V2 engine was in fact the forerunner of the booster rockets that launched space craft and astronauts, allowing humans to start exploring what lies beyond our planet. How so? After the war, the remaining V2 rockets were captured by Allied forces and taken to the US to be researched. The V2 rocket was the first vehicle in space! In fact, the first ever photo of the earth from space was taken in 1946 by a camera on a V2 rocket. This black & white image is on display with the V2 engine as part of our '10 Climate Stories' exhibition.
As well as space travel, we can't escape the V2 is also the precursor of all modern guided missiles… But many technologies initially developed for military use have become incredibly important to everyday life (the internet, for example).
Is the V2 rocket an engine of discovery, or an engine of war?
Do the advantages of space travel and exploration enabled by the V2 outweigh the devastating military use?
What other applications of military technology can your students find in their lives?
The V2 engine is on display in Exploring Space Gallery, ground floor.
The V2 rocket is found in Making the modern world, on the ground floor.

Atlantic was founded in 1988 (we're actually Northwind Enterprises, Inc. dba Atlantic) in Cleveland, OH as a modular display distributor. Shortly thereafter, the company moved to the Washington, DC area. Over the next twenty-five years, we expanded throughout the mid-Atlantic region and now have offices in Philadelphia, PA, Baltimore, MD, Richmond, VA, Washington, DC (headquarters) and Front Royal, VA (Service Operations Center).
We like to say that our clients deserve the credit for our business planning, and it's true. When they asked us for better quality, faster graphics, we began to make our own. When they asked us for custom components and exhibits, we started fabricating them. The same can be said for our expansion into corporate interiors, installation and dismantle, global event management, and even shipping and logistics.
Today, Atlantic is a vibrant, woman-owned marketing firm devoted to maximizing organizational performance through events and experiential environments around the globe. We specialize in event strategy and implementation, exhibit design and production, corporate interior design and build, program management and logistics.
Yes, we do that. We could go on and on, but here is a brief overview of our core competencies:

Buzz: The Rangers and Michael Del Zotto's Agent Can Begin Talking (Maybe Not)
7:14PM Katie Strang writes at ESPN.con that Del Zotto was previously seeking a deal worth more than $3 million per season on a multi-year deal before the lockout.
11:08AM: Katie Strang says that Del Zotto will speak with his agent Don Meehan today and that Meehan will then meet with Glen Sather.
10:18AM: Darren Dreger says that the NHL has told teams that they remain in "lockout mode" and that general managers are upset that the pace is taking longer.
10:09AM: According to Bruce Garrioch, NHL general managers are allowed to start negotiating with agents who have clients that are not currently under contract.
No deal can be made official though until the CBA is ratified. That is expected to happen later this week.

BUFFALO, N.Y.- These days, the "pain at the pump" is less like temporary discomfort and more like a chronic illness.
Back in July of 2009, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) told WGRZ: "Something is wrong with gas prices in Western New York. Obviously there is something wrong with gas prices in all of America."
Three years later, the affliction seems only to have gotten worse.
Nine months ago, Schumer asked the Federal Trade Commission to do an investigation into oil refineries, specifically why they are not all operating at 100 percent capacity; it is still under investigation.
Last year, President Obama asked a commission to look into the oil industry as a whole.
Now, Congresswoman Kathy Hochul (D-26th) is one of several lawmakers calling for more government regulation when it comes to oil speculation.
"We have to make sure the government has a hand in this part, because the consequences are too dire right now, we can't let these unregulated speculators drive up the price of oil," said Rep. Hochul in a phone interview Monday night from Washington, D.C.
Hochul says she would also support a federal gas tax holiday, adding that there are some plans in the works that she will be watching closely. The federal tax on gas is 18.4 cents a gallon; New York state's tax on gas is much higher.
U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) says she also supports a federal gas holiday.
"If we can lower the tax on it, even for a short period of time, that can be very helpful to make ends meet and also to keep the economy moving," said Sen. Gillibrand.
Schumer said he would consider a gas tax holiday, if it actually lowered the price at the pump.
Schumer Spokesman Matt House issued the following statement:
"Senator Schumer would consider a gas tax holiday, but any effort must be structured in a way that actually lowers the price at the pump. In past attempts, oil companies have simply pocketed the savings rather than passing them on to customers at the pump. At a time of sky-high profits for oil companies, we can't let that happen."

BGA: Patriots at Jets
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible.
Coming up, your breakdown of yesterday's loss over the Patriots, together with detailed analysis of personnel groupings and individual performance.
Join me after the jump as I attempt to cover every angle.
Last week, I opened by saying how refreshing it was to be able to write a story with a different outcome. However, I expressed concern in my conclusion that would prove prophetic:
While this was an encouraging win for the Jets, I'm not yet convinced that this is a sign that they're about to turn their season around. In truth, this performance wasn't all that different from how the Jets played over the last two weeks in two games they ended up getting blown out in. What was different was that they finished drives, got a few lucky breaks and made some key plays at the right time. That meant they had the lead in the second half and were able to close the game out instead of chasing the game.
I'm sorry to say that this could indicate that this Jets team has a very fragile psyche and that they perhaps suffer from a tendency to let things get to them when not everything is going their way. That can have a negative affect on things like body language, motivation, effort and confidence.
…and there it was for all to see last night. A couple of bad bounces turned the game into a blowout, which – despite the final scoreline – was arguably even more humiliating than the 45-3 defeat to the same team two years ago. If those bounces had also gone against them in the Rams game – Wilson's muff, the flag on the kick return, the blocked field goal staying inbounds – then the Jets would be staring at their fourth blowout win in a row since the bye week. Chew on that.
A few weeks ago, I said this Jets team was easy to beat and suggested there were a number of things teams could do when facing the Jets that would almost certainly lead to enough costly breakdowns to win them the game. While I stopped short of listing those things out, I did say that most teams were probably prepared enough to identify and exploit these things. Suffice it to say, the Patriots did most of these things last night.
This was one of those games that spiralled out of control, more dramatically than ever before, although the Jets were able to somewhat steady the ship in the second half. When they went 14-0 down, I said to my friend that they could easily lose by 60 and when they were 35-0 a quarter of an hour later, that looked inevitable. They actually won the second half 16-14, but it's difficult to give anyone credit for that. Although the Patriots didn't really take their foot off the gas from a strategic standpoint, you wouldn't expect everyone to continue playing hard when the game is out of hand like that – as the Jets themselves showed in the first game of the year (although it feels like decades ago).
As a result, any scientific review of each player's performance is going to lead to some players not grading out too badly because many Jets had as many good plays as bad. However, all the bad plays came at the worst times – either in the red zone or in a situation where a mistake would lead to a huge play.
The perfect example is LaRon Landry. Let's take a look at his performance. He had two tackles in the backfield, two pass breakups and a big hit to force a fumble. However, he also got burned over the top for a 56-yard touchdown, had an awful missed tackle in the flat on third down in the red zone and would have been beaten for a second touchdown were it not for an offensive pass interference call that you wouldn't normally expect to get against the Patriots. On balance, he'll probably grade out positively. However, ultimately, a pass breakup or a tackle for a loss is worthless if someone else gives up a 56-yard touchdown or fails to stop his man on third down immediately after. Landry has ability, but makes too many costly mistakes. In a way, that sums up this team as a whole.
Let's look at the rest of those individual performances:
Mark Sanchez is another great example of the LaRon Landry Problem. He had good numbers last night and most of the throws he made were good. Yes, he racked up a lot of those numbers after the game was decided, but he did throw the ball well early in the game too. However, two BIG mistakes undermined everything else he was able to achieve.
After driving the Jets into the red zone, he fell badly into a trap coverage. Yes, he was under pressure on this play – Matt Slauson got beaten by Kyle Love – but he still thought he had Jeremy Kerley open, when there was a defensive back sitting on that route the whole time. I would suggest that the predictable nature of the playcalling played a role there too, but then again, they are going to call plays which Sanchez is most comfortable with, so his limitations are a factor in this too. This was a poor read by Sanchez and something I identified that he needed to fix after the second game of the 2011 season. 25 games later, this is still happening and on this occasion prevented the Jets from taking a lead which might have given them something to build upon and led to a totally different outcome.
In the second quarter, he forgot what he was doing, ran full steam into the back of Brandon Moore and lost a fumble which was returned for another back-breaking score. The game was basically over there and then, whereas a confident scoring drive at that point would have kept the Jets in it. You don't forget what you're doing like that unless you're pretty rattled. I agree with Sanchez that the outcome of the play was extremely unlucky and that taking the snap and sliding back to the line of scrimmage in that situation was probably the smart thing to do, but Bassett's correct that it sums the season up that he couldn't even do that right.
These two plays are bigger in terms of their impact on the final score than the rest of his pluses and minuses put together, so we don't even need to analyze those, although for the second straight week, he showed that he can actually be productive with this supporting cast so I don't think it's fair to use them as an excuse for him. Now, if only he could cut out the mistakes, too.
As for Tim Tebow being active with two broken ribs and Greg McElroy being inactive, I can understand why they did that – to try not to tip their hand, in hopes that the Patriots would have spent a lot of time worrying about whether the Jets were going to bring out any special wrinkles (which, as I said last week, might have been something they were planning on doing in this game). However, if Sanchez had not got up after getting hit in the fourth quarter, you have to wonder what they would have done.
As for Tebow, they bulked him up in the offseason so that he could handle a decent workload without breaking down like he did at the end of last year. As a result, he seems to have lost some quickness and it hasn't helped him to remain healthy despite the fact that his workload has been a lot lighter than expected.
I was also going to rant about the Jets being terrible in short yardage situations when they have a guy who I believe is one of the best short yardage runners in the NFL on the sidelines, but in light of the news about his injury, I'll let that one go.
Offensive Line
Once again, the pass protection was pretty good by the Jets. Sanchez was sacked twice, both by unblocked blitzing linebackers. On one of these plays Dont'a Hightower was deliberately left unblocked but wasn't fooled on a play action bootleg. On the other, it looked like Nick Mangold was at fault because it was a five on five rush and he double-teamed the player to his right, letting Jerod Mayo go unblocked up the middle. Other than that, Sanchez wasn't under pressure very often and, as much as I've criticized him, does seem to be getting rid of the ball more efficiently in recent weeks.
Austin Howard got beaten or half-beaten a handful of times, but only a couple of these resulted in pressure. D'Brickashaw Ferguson was once again almost flawless in pass protection – his man did hit Sanchez in the fourth quarter, but that was because Sanchez had to step up to avoid pressure coming up the middle. Brandon Moore and Slauson gave up a pressure each and Vladimir Ducasse gave up two.
They had a slightly different rotation for Ducasse this week. He didn't play at all in the first half, but entered the game on the second possession of the second half at left guard (as the Jets drove down to the one and then failed to punch it in). The starters returned for the next series, but then Ducasse replaced Moore at right guard for the rest of the game, including one of the touchdown drives. He still ended up with a similar amount of reps as he would usually get, but he did not respond too well to the changes. He did have a couple of good run blocks, but also let his man get past him to stuff a run and, while it wasn't directly his fault, it was disappointing to see the Jets failed to convert with first and goal at the three with him in there.
In the running game, the Jets had some pretty good success, racking up 119 yards at over four yards per carry, including four plays gaining 10 or more yards. Moore was the focal point of several of those runs and also did some good work in short yardage situations. He had his hands full with Vince Wilfork, but I thought Cris Collingsworth (who I rate highly as an analyst) went overboard on the play where Sanchez fumbled. Yes, Wilfork stood Moore up and deserves credit for that, but Moore had actually driven him a couple of yards off the line before he anchored himself and Wilfork didn't "throw Moore into Sanchez" as Collingsworth described it, Sanchez just ran into his back and then Moore tripped over him and fell backwards. Howard was also beaten a few times by Wilfork, but did have some good run blocks early on. Slauson and Ferguson had less of an impact, but also made fewer mistakes in the running game.
Mangold found himself hardly ever matched up with Wilfork, as the Patriots wisely kept Wilfork out of a matchup he usually loses. Instead the Jets gave Mangold some tough assignments, often getting him to double down on one of the guard's men and then peeling off to make a second level block. He did well on a couple of these, but also let his man get off the block a couple of times. He also fell to the floor after making his initial block on the fourth and one play where Brandon Spikes was able to come up the middle and blow it up.
Jason Smith was only in for eight snaps, a season low.
Running Backs
After last week having 15 of his 18 carries gain four yards or less, Shonn Greene had a much more consistent impact this time, with six of his 14 carries gaining five or more. He ended up averaging over five per carry and finished up with 71 yards. He had 62 at halftime though and once again wasn't able to benefit from the defense being worn down in the second half because he only got to carry it four more times. Greene made some nice runs, but did fail to convert twice on fourth and one, fumbling on one of those occasions.
Bilal Powell got plenty of looks, but only averaged 3.3 yards on 12 carries. He did have a good gain on a pass reception though and it was good to see that he is developing a nose for the end zone. Interestingly, he only stayed in to pass protect once.
Joe McKnight was in for just three plays, carrying once for six yards. Kahlil Bell still hasn't played yet on offense.
At fullback, Lex Hilliard wasn't used much against the team with which he began the season and didn't have a positive impact when he was in. He had one play where the runner ran into his back on fourth and one and another where he was blown up in the backfield and the play ended up going for a loss. It didn't look like he was at fault on the play where Sanchez fumbled, but maybe he was and Sanchez didn't want to throw his teammate under the bus.
While Jeremy Kerley had an impressive game statistically, he fumbled once, failed to make the marker on a third and two dumpoff where he appeared to have plenty of room and slipped over in the open field when it looked like he might score, so it could have been a lot better. Dustin Keller also had a productive day, and for the second straight game didn't really do anything wrong as a blocker, but should have had a touchdown on a pass where he waited for the ball allowing it to be broken up, rather than attacking it aggressively and snatching it out of the air, or at least boxing out the defender on his back a little better.
Chaz Schilens had a couple of nice catches and did save a possession with a fumble recovery, but it was a frustrating day for him overall, as he lost a fumble on the first play of a drive and had an apparent touchdown waved off by the officials. Clyde Gates added a couple of nice first down catches and also showed some good run blocking ability on one play, but then got knocked out.
It was good to see Stephen Hill make a couple of catches on his only two targets of the day, including one on a fourth and one play. However, on that play, Hill fought for extra yards instead of getting to the ground and the Patriots held him up which, when coupled with the bumbling officials dropping the ball twice and taking a reprehensible 12 seconds to re-spot the ball, forced the Jets to have to settle for a field goal just before halftime.
At tight end, Konrad Reuland had another first down catch, but his run blocking was inconsistent. However, Jeff Cumberland was a rare bright spot. His 58 yards on four targets gave a glimpse of the pass catching ability Jets fans were hoping to see from him this season. He's one guy who can make a case for a bigger role next year over the remainder of the season.
Finally, Jordan White's NFL debut saw him on the field briefly but he wasn't targeted.
Defensive Line
The run defense in this game was a huge disappointment, but I was surprised to see that the Jets held New England to under four yards per carry. Digging deeper, that was mostly due to the second half performance. During the first half, New England averaged 5.2 yards per carry, despite only having one run go for 10 yards. That shows how they were picking up consistent yardage all the time.
I want to single out New England's Marcus Cannon. Cannon is only a rookie and was making his first career start with both Logan Mankins and Sebastian Vollmer out. The reason I mention him is because during preseason he was probably the worst lineman I saw. In one game, he got beaten at least 12 times in one half in pass protection. I was surprised to see him make the team, let alone getting some regular season reps over the first half. While his run blocking was not as bad as his pass protection, he was still pretty raw. Last night, he did a solid job in both the running game and in pass protection and the Patriots didn't seem to miss a beat with him in there. I think it sums up the difference between the two organizations when they have a guy that looks so bad and half a season later he is contributing whereas Jets fans never seem to have any hope that someone playing poorly can get better – and maybe justifiably so.
I'm a bit worried about Mike DeVito, who seemed to tire towards the end of last week's game and may be starting to wear down as a result of having to play more reps at the more demanding nose tackle position in recent weeks. He was handled at the point of attack all too often last night, and although he did get some good penetration, that didn't always prevent the runner from turning the corner or getting to the second level. Kenrick Ellis and Sione Po'uha didn't play much, with all but six of their combined 27 reps coming in the second half. Ellis still seems to be limited – he got good penetration on one play, but then seemed to be limping. Po'uha did make a couple of good plays against the run, but is still nowhere near as disruptive as last year.
Even Muhammad Wilkerson had a disappointing game by his recent high standards. He did okay as a pass rusher, constantly driving his man into the backfield and getting free for a hit and a pressure, but was double teamed a lot in the running game and had a costly penalty on 3rd and four early in the game. He did blow up two runs, but in previous games, he was blowing up 5-10 per game.
Quinton Coples also may have hit the rookie wall. This was the first game where he didn't at least do one thing that stood out on tape. He did hit Brady once but that was after initially being blocked as Brady held onto the ball and then stepped up to make a throw. He was handled well on several running plays.
I've been a supporter of Bart Scott over the years, but I can't tell you why he was in the game in the early stages last night. As I said during the week, I expected Demario Davis to continue to be in the game when the Jets were in their nickel package and for them to be in that package almost exclusively, so Bart's total number of snaps likely wouldn't exceed 10 or so. However, they started Scott rather than Davis in that package, probably because Brady went after Davis twice in overtime to set up the winning score last month.
The results were disastrous, as New England cleverly exploited Scott's lack of speed – which has clearly been exacerbated by his recent toe injury – with two well-designed plays. On the first, Scott was in a zone coverage and the Patriots got the receivers on his side of the field to run clear-out routes and Aaron Hernandez to run a crossing route in behind him. That went for 28 yards. On the next one, they lined up two receivers on the left, but they both ran clear-out routes across the field and Brady dumped it to Shane Vereen in the flat. That went for an 83-yard touchdown with Scott unable to get across in time to stop him running down the sideline.
There were two major reasons why that went wrong for the Jets. Firstly, a blatant illegal pick was set by Wes Welker and ignored by the officials. Secondly, Scott was communicating with his teammates at the line which may have made him a step slow to react at the snap. Also, it looked like he maybe thought it was supposed to be a zone coverage, because he delayed momentarily before heading out wide.
It seems that either Scott was blamed for the failure of the play, or hurt himself, because he did not get on the field for a single snap after that play. While Scott has a reputation for getting burned like this all the time, that's not really the case – the Pats are the first ones to effectively exploit him like this since he's been a Jet. Those two plays went for 111 yards. Prior to that, he'd given up just 199 yards in 25 games. Other than those plays, Scott actually played well against the run, including one huge hit on Vereen. However, this is yet another example of some minor positive plays being far outweighed by some huge negatives and I would question the strategy defensively as well.
David Harris also had a rough game, constantly getting caught on the inside on running plays and driven back at the second level. He did register 12 tackles and did well as a pass rusher too (one hit and two pressures), but his performances continue to underwhelm when he doesn't have a healthy Po'uha and Scott taking on blockers for him.
Bryan Thomas made a couple of plays against the run and had pressure on two consecutive plays in the second half. However, he was embarrassingly pancaked on Stevan Ridley's touchdown run.
Davis was also knocked to the ground on that play and did struggle to have an impact in the running game as well. He was also seemingly the guilty party when the Jets were called for having 12 men on the field in the second half. He did make a bit of an impact as a blitzer, getting some pressure and causing the penalty that led to a safety. He hasn't quite been able to compliment Harris as well as Scott used to though.
Garrett McIntyre didn't have much impact. He did record one pressure, but it was only after Brady had held the ball for some time. Ricky Sapp didn't play much and did beat his man on the outside once, only for Brady to calmly step up and get rid of the ball. He was also driven off the line on one running play and dropped into coverage on third down once where, although he was in position, a better pass to Welker would almost certainly have netted a first down.
Defensive Backs
Antonio Cromartie had a Revis-esque impact in this game. Unfortunately, I don't mean that in a good way. His impact was pretty insignificant because they never really needed to go after him. He gave up two catches for 21 yards and had a missed tackle, but was in good position on another throw to the end zone. However, he was burned once and fortunate that the pass was overthrown.
Kyle Wilson hasn't been targeted much since those two throws early in the Seahawks game. Could his play be improving? He did give up two short catches, but overall wasn't exploited at all.
With Isaiah Trufant out, Ellis Lankster had to play more in the slot and didn't fare quite as well. Although he only gave up 13 yards on four targets, one of these was a key third down conversion and another went for a touchdown as he plainly thought the Jets were in zone and left Welker alone on the outside thinking Wilson would pick him up. I can't be 100% sure who was at fault, but based on their reactions, I'd say it was probably Lankster. Other than these two plays, Lankster had a costly (if harsh) face mask penalty, but did make one play in coverage and a good tackle in the flat, so it wasn't all bad.
I already broke down Landry's performance above, but I want to pick apart this quote from Collingsworth:
Not many people break tackles from LaRon Landry…
Unfortunately, that's not exactly accurate, as Landry's 12 missed tackles have him placed fourth in the NFL among safeties. It's enough to make you long for the days of Kerry Rhodes not making any mistakes and everyone complaining because he doesn't make enough impact plays.
Yeremiah Bell gave up one long pass completion, but otherwise wasn't at fault for any key plays. Eric Smith, however, was beaten for a big first down and showed an embarrassing lack of range on the Vereen touchdown. He did recover a fumble though. Josh Bush still isn't getting any playing time on defense, with Darrin Walls and Donnie Fletcher also just featuring on special teams.
Special Teams
Another week, another catastrophic special teams blunder. This time, it was Joe McKnight with the fumbled kickoff returned for a score, the third in less than a minute. McKnight did have a couple of good returns and Robert Malone's punting was pretty good, but the bright spots on special teams were few and far between. Even the coverage unit was a let down with three players missing tackles on a Julian Edelman punt return. Kyle Wilson looked uneasy fielding punts too. At least Nick Folk was perfect on the day.
For Jets fans, this performance is unacceptable. You have to wonder if Woody Johnson – shown on TV at the game, smiling, while his team humiliated themselves, their fans and his organization – has ANY idea what it means to Jets fans for their team to compete against their biggest rivals. Falling short of a playoff berth is one thing, but falling 35 points behind in the first half to the Patriots in front of a National TV audience? Unacceptable.
It's not my job to decide who stays and who goes. Unfortunately, the buck stops with Johnson and you have to worry whether he and the people he trusts to give him advice have any idea how to fix this.
He has stringently denied that his primary goal is to make headlines and I believe him. Firing the head coach or the general manager would make headlines and that's not something he's resorted to despite the fact it would definitely keep them on the back pages until replacements were found and that a high percentage of professional sports franchises would have made that move already if faced with the same set of circumstances. In some cases it would prove to be the correct decision to stay the course – the Giants showed patience with both Tom Coughin and Eli Manning and that paid off, for example. The Giants never bottomed out like this though. Did they?
Johnson has also denied that he had made moves to sell tickets and/or merchandise. I believe him there too. Who would spend money on this? I think he's genuinely trying to build a winning franchise and the plan of action isn't flawed, they've just been relying on the wrong guys. It's time to find someone else to build around. You just have to wonder who in the organization has the ability to identify the right people.
The way things are going, they'll enter next year with a healthy roster, a last placed schedule and a high draft pick, all of which should mean there's no reason they won't have a better season. Can this really be seen as progress when they were close to a Super Bowl appearance a couple of years ago though? The Jets have a lot of high priced talent that they won't want to waste a year by bottoming out, but if they don't re-tool completely they risk fluctuating between being below average and above average, as they did during the Edwards and Mangini eras. For a team that looked set to be a perennial contender a few years ago, that's a sobering thought.
We're back to normal service now, so hit me with your BGA questions in the comments section and I will answer them for you in BGA Extra in a few days.

Jays' Bats Erupt as Creighton downs Milwaukee, 14-6
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - An eight run seventh inning powered the Creighton baseball squad past UW-Milwaukee on Sunday, March 10 in the final game of the Riverview Inn Classic.
The win lifted Creighton to 6-3 on the season, while Milwaukee fell to 4-9 overall.
Down 1-0 after the first, the Jays got on the board with two runs in the top of the third. Junior Brad McKewon led off the inning with a single up the middle, then went to second on a sacrifice by junior Federico Castagnini. Sophomore Jake Peter followed with an RBI triple to right-center, tying the game at 1-1. Moments later, junior Mike Gerber blasted a sacrifice fly to right to give the Bluejays a 2-1 edge.
The Panthers tied the game at 2-2 with a run in the bottom of the third, but Creighton answered with two more in the top of the fourth. Plate discipline led to Creighton's runs in the fourth as freshman Reagan Fowler, senior Michael Blatchford and junior Ben Lahn drew walks. Fowler was picked off and Blatchford was retired on a safety squeeze attempt by junior Jerry Mitchell. Finally McKewon cleared the bases with a two-run double to left field, driving home Mitchell and Lahn.
To Milwaukee's credit, the Panthers bounced back with three runs on four hits in the bottom of the fourth to take a 5-4 lead.
After two scoreless frames for each team, the Jays erupted for their most prolific inning of the season, scoring eight in the seventh. Peter led off the inning with a single, two outs later Fowler drew a walk to put runners at first and second. Blatchford took advantage of the free pas with a single through the left side. Peter scored on the play and an error allowed Fowler to come in as well, while Blatchford took third on the play. A walk to Lahn brought sophomore Kevin Lamb to the plate, who came in defensively in the sixth. Lamb launched a 1-0 pitch over the right-center field wall to make it 9-5 in favor of the Jays.
Milwaukee made a pitching change, but Creighton didn't seem to notice as McKewon singled, Castagnini and Peter walked to load the bases. Gerber cleared the bases with a triple of the center field wall to extend the Jays' lead to 12-5.
The Panthers scratched across a run in the bottom of the seventh, but the Jays added to their lead win a run in the eighth and ninth to claim the game, 14-6.
Junior Max Ising earned the win (1-0) for the Jays, allowing just one hit in 2.2 innings of relief work. Freshman Nick Highberger closed the door with two innings of scoreless ball.
Milwaukee's Eric King took the loss (0-3) as he surrendered the first five runs in the seventh. King was changed with five runs on four hits and two walks in 2.2 innings.
The Jays wrap up their four-game road trip on Tuesday, March 12 as Creighton faces Southeast Missouri State at 2 p.m. in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

Once again the Fire in the Hole golf tournament, hosted and sponsored by the Sun Advocate, to raise money for the volunteer fire departments in Carbon County was a huge success.
This year about 130 people participated playing golf all morning and into the afternoon on Saturday, Oct.9.
The winners of the tournament were (1st) Bill's Home Furnishings (58), (2) the Walmart team (59) and (3) the Tony Basso GM team (60).
There was also a prize for better than worst (the next to last place team) which was won by the Castleview Hospital contingent.
The big drawing of the day was for a Marlin rifle donated by Bill's Home Furnishing and the winner of that was Tom Robertson.
Closet to the hole was Eddie Sandoval and the longest putt prize was won by Carson Franklin.
Unfortunately, no one hit a hole-in-one on the 17th hole or they could have won a new Malibu from Basso GM.
While not all the money committed for the tournament has come in yet it appears after expenses the Sun Advocate will be presenting a check to the fire departments in the county for a little over $4,000 in the next couple of weeks.
Look for the announcement and photo in an upcoming issue of the Sun Advocate.

GOUVERNEUR Mayor Christopher A. Miller maintains that financial troubles and emotional baggage from a broken relationship will not prevent him from fulfilling his duties.
Im not going anywhere. I live and work in the village of Gouverneur. Im the mayor, he said. Im not moving. Why would I run?
Mr. Miller said he does not believe his personal life should be open to public scrutiny, but several judgments have been filed against him since his election as mayor, and his past relationship with a Department of Public Works employee has spilled over into official business.
People sometimes have financial issues, Mr. Miller said. Because of the circumstances, I would prefer it be left alone.
Earlier this year, E.J. Noble Hospital obtained a judgment against Mr. Miller, claiming nearly $20,000 in unpaid medical bills.
We bend over backwards to work with people. If an individual makes any payment at all, we dont go after them, Administrator Charles P. Conole said. We will actively pursue going after him.
Robert N. Saidel took back 3 Rowley St., a property he had sold Mr. Miller on a land contract, and received a $3,015 judgment against him June 8 for unpaid taxes and sewer and water bills.
I sent him a letter. He didnt contest it, never called me, Mr. Saidel said. He never showed up in Small Claims Court. I had to wait an hour.
Mr. Saidel would not wish Mr. Miller ill if he paid his debts.
Chris is a nice person, but got in a hole, and got further in a hole, he said.
Gary Van Ornum, Gouverneur, obtained a $7,220 judgment against Mr. Miller on Dec. 14.
Debra L. Hance, Star Lake, had Mr. Millers wages garnisheed as an employee of Aubuchon Hardware, where he no longer works, to recoup a $512 judgment she won Nov. 29.
Mr. Miller said he could not say whether he is current on the mortgage he has for properties he owns on South Street.
The house he lives in at 171 Rowley St., which he bought on a land contract from George G. Harder, has been for sale and he has an accepted offer on it.
Mr. Harder, who has the title to the property, said Mr. Miller is current on his payments but said he had heard nothing official about the pending sale.
Weve been down this road once before, Mr. Harder said. If he told me it was raining outside, I would go to the window and look.
Whatever his personal issues, Mr. Miller said he has the villages best interests in mind, and expects to return to Gouverneur late this month.
He blames much of his financial woes on tenants who stiffed him on rent and on the fallout from his breakup with Dylan T. Liebenow.
Mr. Liebenow said he had nothing to do with Mr. Millers money problems.
I definitely didnt take off with any money. Im filing for bankruptcy, he said. The only money I ever had access to in the five years we were together was my own. Chris was always one of those robbing Peter to pay Paul.
The January split between Mr. Miller and Mr. Liebenow became heated enough that Mr. Liebenow, a seasonal temporary employee with the DPW for the past three years, was suspended in late March for several weeks.
Mr. Liebenow provided copies of text messages he and Mr. Miller exchanged March 28 in which Mr. Miller demanded that Mr. Liebenow, who was off duty, come to his office the next day or face dismissal. Mr. Liebenow declined unless the meeting was work related.
He was suspended without pay March 29 by Mr. Miller, pending the advice of counsel.
The suspension was a disciplinary measure because Mr. Liebenow used profanity and was disrespectful, said Mr. Miller, who maintained he had wanted to talk to Mr. Liebenow about a DPW matter.
Trustee Ronald P. McDougall referred questions about the incident to village attorney Henry J. Leader, who was not available for comment.
Mr. Liebenow submitted a request for back pay, which was rejected by Mr. Miller.
Mr. Liebenow, who was called back to work after submitting copies of the text messages to the village, decided not to push it.
At least Im back to work, he said.
