Flashback: Joe Sakic, The Rangers and The Offer Sheet Of 1997
On July 28, 1997, Mark Messier signed a contract with the Vancouver Canucks for $20 million over three years.
Following this, the Rangers set off on a path to replace Messier and targeted superstar center Joe Sakic.
In Behind The Moves, Neil Smith said "When we lost Messier [to Vancouver as a free agent], [my boss] Dave [Checketts] comes in and says to me, 'We should do an offer sheet on Joe Sakic.'… He said, 'I'm on the board of governors and the Nuggets and Avalanche are broke and [their parent company CEO] Charlie [Lyons] says they are out of money. We'll front-load [the offer] and they can't match because they can't come up with the cash.'
Below is an account from the NY Times and the NY Daily News about the Rangers pursuit of Sakic as a restricted free agent.
August 7, 1997: Joe Sakic signs an offer sheet with the Rangers for three years and $21 million. Colorado has seven days to match the offer and if they don't the Rangers would be required to surrender five first round picks. There is a chance the Rangers and Avs can strike a deal for Sakic where the Rangers would send players to the Avs instead of the five first round picks.
Sakic will make $17 million in 1997-98 due to a signing bonus of $15 million the Rangers put in the offer sheet. Other RFA players are Mike Modano, Sergei Fedorov and Paul Kariya.
August 8, 1997: The paper writes, "So what if the Rangers boosted the pay scale for hockey players by signing Joe Sakic to an offer sheet of $21 million for three seasons. Who cares if other general managers resent the Rangers' bid for this elite Group 2 free agent, the kind of restricted free agent who rarely changes teams."
Neil Smith says, "'I care more about our fans and our ownership and my own team than I do about the resentment of other people. As long as you are winning, they resent you. And I don't intend to stop winning."
August 13, 1997: The Avalanche and Denver Nuggets announce that they will build a new arena downtown that will create revenue and hopefully let the Avs keep Sakic.
Garden president Dave Checketts said of the situation, "The collective wisdom is they can't follow the good news with bad. My guess is they will match. I hope they don't, but I think they will."
August 13, 1997: Neil Smith compares Mark Messier and Joe Sakic by saying, "Joe plays a much more give-and-go type of game. He's much more of a darting-type skill player. Much more of an offensive threat, shift to shift, than Mark. Much less of a physical threat than Mark."
August 14, 1997: Colorado matches the Rangers offer for Sakic and retain him. Pierre Lacroix, the GM for Colorado said of the Rangers, "The Rangers were very active on the free-agent galaxy. The way they are going, the way they are acting, I'm sure they are going to be the first team to sign an alien and to have an alien to play for their team. I just hope the planet of the alien will have a chance to match."
It is believed that the Rangers will entertain the idea of sending offer sheets to Sergei Fedorov, Mike Modano or Rob Niedermayer.
August 15th, 1997: The Rangers have now turned their attention to Dallas center Sergei Fedorov. The Rangers think that they will be able to drive a wedge between Fedorov and the Red Wings by offering him a contract worth more than what captain Steve Yzerman is making.
The paper writes, "Should Fedorov join the Rangers, New York would have its own core of Russian stars who understand each other's language and playing style. Fedorov might make the Rangers a better team than it was last season, even with Messier. His availability and Messier's departure combine to open a rare window — or door — of opportunity."
Fedorov held out before signing an offer sheet with the Hurricanes in the middle of the next season. He made a total of $28 million that season due to signing bonuses, salary and playoff bonuses.
November 5, 1997: In the Daily News, John Dellapina writes that Dave Checketts arrogance in the Rangers pursuit of Joe Sakic was a crucial factor in Colorado matching the Rangers offer sheet.
Avs CEO Charlie Lyons said in the paper :
It's one thing to go after somebody's free agent, which they have all the right in the world to do.
"It's another thing to try and justify it by saying, 'They're hurt (financially).' That's why we did it (sent the picture). But having said that, I think everybody is past it. You just wipe the slate clean and move forward.
"They were under the belief that we weren't going to be able to pull it off. They miscalculated our vigilance and wherewithal."
June 1, 2001: Dave Anderson writes that Sakic would be the perfect player for the Rangers to go after in free agency and for Glen Sather to start remaking the Rangers. The Rangers are also reportedly looking to try and sign Patrick Roy and Rob Blake.
All three players re-signed with Colorado.
2012:In the Denver Post, Adrian Dater writes, "when the Avs matched the Rangers' offer, Lyons sent Rangers GM Neil Smith and president Dave Checketts a framed photo of Nelson Rockefeller, flipping the bird (from the 1968 Democratic convention)."

Four people have been arrested so far (as of 1:28 PM EST) on day 5 of the Occupy Wall Street protest. The first arrest took place this morning during Opening Bell March. At 10:10 AM, Isaac Wilder was taken into police custody and is being held at W. 154 St. New York, NY. One firsthand witness has informed us he was at the front of the peaceful march taking place on a public sidewalk when police demanded protesters turned left. When Isaac asserted his right to continue marching forward in public space, he was immediately arrested.
Two other arrests took place at 12:30 PM EST at Liberty Plaza. Two first-hand witnesses have confirmed the following story:
People were peacefully assembling on the sidewalk and the police told the public that they could not stand on public sidewalks. One person, was standing peacefully on the sidewalk and holding up a sign and the police swarmed him and arrested him. he peacefully went with them, without resisting in any way. People then peacefully walked with him and chanted in solidarity. And the police ran into the middle of the crowd and tackled one of the people there, and arrested him.
The following is a first hand account from Adrianna, a demonstrator who was assaulted by the police:
I was picketing at Broadway and Liberty St. and heard shouts and swarms of people come down the block, so I knew it must have been an arrest. I stayed up there because I knew that's where they were going to bring the arrested people. So a huge crowd started approaching and getting louder while holding up peace signs. They pulled one guy at random and after they put him in the van, Officer Caradona and other officers rushed the crowd standing on the corner, pulled one guy from random, and started to pull him and shove him to the ground.
That's when I started to try to push everyone back when somebody, it might have been Caradona, grabbed and swung me around and punched me in the face and I fell down. Luckily someone was there to pull me back up again and I know they pushed and shoved other people too. They were pushing and shoving everyone, but none of us resisted. We kept backing up, trying to get out of their way and continued holding up our peace signs.

What do you think was running in the pro-government, pro-Mubarek newspapers in Egypt back in February, when crowds of unhappy and often un- or under-employed citizens began crowding into Tahrir Square? I don't know the answer to that, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say there probably wasn't a lot of coverage of what was happening in Tahrir Square, at least at first. They were probably running cute feature stories about an old-time falafel stand in a changing Cairo neighborhood, or maybe articles on parking problems at the Great Pyramids. They certainly weren't going to call attention to the elephant in the room that was about to knock over a corrupt and decadent society.
I was thinking about that this week, during the extra time I had on my hands because I wasn't reading in the pages of the New York Times or the Washington Post about the Wall Street protests that have been going on now for four days, with hundreds of disenchanted and disaffected youth camping out nightly in a lower Manhattan park, marching on the financial district by day, getting arrested and provoking a large police presence including a phalanx of NYPD cops guarding the notorious Merrill Lynch bronze idol of greed.
Call me crazy, but as a journalist marking his 30th anniversary in the news business this year, I would think that an ongoing protest like that in my hometown would at least make the local newspaper. Not necessarily on Page 1, and not even every day necessarily. But at least wedged somewhere between the various ads for Tiffany and Saks, etc.
Maybe that explains why I've never gotten a job at the New York Times.
Apparently for editors in their plush 8th Avenue skyscraper, the Wall Street Day of Rage is not among the news that the New York Times considers fit to print (emphasis on the word "print"...more on that aspect in a second). Instead, since as many as 2,000 demonstrators against Wall Street and government corruption first crowded into Manhattan's Zuccotti Park on Saturday (the numbers have dwindled since then), the metro section of the Times has gone wild with the imminent closing of the orginal Ray's Pizza as well as the looming disappearance of parking meters(maybe the Gray Lady is just selling nostalgic to newspapers' graying audience?)
The Times isn't unique, though. There don't seem to have been any print articles in the Washington Post, either, and my sense is that television news coverage -- even on "liberal" MSNBC -- has been non-existent or less-than-minimal at best.
That's not to say there hasn't been some level of news coverage -- including from the newsrooms of the New York Times. The Times has published three blog posts about the protests, although they were not easy to find on the web site (here and here-- you had to navigate well below the layer of Ray's Pizza) and the Washington Post has also published blog posts (here and here) and even photo essays, which is good way of saying "look at these crazy and colorful kids" without addressing the actual issues. I've noticed that a lot of the American coverage that I found through Google News was in the form of online photo essays. Look, I'm somebody with one foot in the blogging world and the other foot still planted in the mentality of the old-fashioned newsroom, and I can tell you that sometimes buried blog posts and photo essays are a way to say you "covered" something without, you know, actually covering it, not in a way that counts.
Go back to the Tahrir Square analogy for a minute. Remember that as soon as the Egyptian protests heated up, though they may have not gotten much ink in state-kowtowing local media, they got a lot of coverage from news outlets in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere around the world. Wouldn't it be really ironic if the Wall Street protest -- while largely ignored here at home -- was getting more in-depth coverage in foreign news organizations like the Guardian, the Daily Mail, and the International Business Times?
You could make the argument that the American media just doesn't like covering protests. But then you'd be only half-right. News organizations haven't spared many resources in tracking conservative Tea Party protests across America -- even though the numbers of people attending those rallies have fallen off sharply in the last year. It's just left-leaning protests that the media gets really queasy about covering, as evidenced by this bizarre case right here in Philadelphia involving the Inquirer's reluctance to pay attention to protests at the home of Cigna's CEO.
Here's a perfect example collected in March by Think Progress:
While the tea party demonstrations — which were estimated to have been attended by 1,500 – 2,000 people according to Capitol Hill police officers — received an enormous amount of press coverage, a larger demonstration took place. A crowd estimated to be 2,500-strongby Capitol Hill police officers marched through the streets of Washington to mark the seventh anniversary of the war in Iraq and to call on Obama to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and focus all of his efforts on domestic priorities like health care and education.
The news media did not find the second, larger march to be as newsworthy as the tea party demonstration. Using the media data-mining tool Critical Mention, a search by ThinkProgress of the keyword "protest" of the three major cable news networks — CNN, MSNBC, and Fox — found that the tea party protests were covered 31 times between March 19th and March 21st, and the antiwar demonstration was only covered twice.
So what gives? Are the Koch Brothers or Lloyd Blankfein of Goildman Sachs using their secret red phones to call top editors and order a news blackout (or more appropriately in this case, a brownout)? Uh, not exactly. That said, if you don't think a pervasive pro-Establishment, don't-rock-the-boat bias exists in the modern American newsroom, then apparently you took a very, very long nap during the Iraq War and the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis. But there's also other more subtle forces at work.
As we've discussed frankly here before, many reporters are somewhat liberal in their personal leanings -- not leftist, not hardly, but somewhere on the center-left on matters like the environment or abortion. And since professional journalists are often obsessed with proving their "balance" above all else, and weak-kneed om reacting to right-wing criticism dating back to Spiro Agnew, that means bending over backwards to show they're not ignoring something conservative like the Tea Party, even if they think actual Tea Partiers reside on some other planet. Meanwhile, as journalism reform guru Jay Rosen of NYU has discussed on many occasions, the other ultimate goal of the modern journalist is to appear "savvy." And what could possibly be more embarrassingly unsavvy than taking seriously the ambitions of a band of granola-eating missed-the-60s dirty bleeping hippie wannabes -- crazy enough to think that they can change the world.
And so actually changing the world is something that only happens halfway around the world, in places like Cairo.
It can't happen here.
Maybe some editors somewhere can put down their slice of Ray's Pizza for a minute and think about the news brownout in lower Manhattan in the context of Tahrir Square, and what are the big-picture things that are really important in America in 2011. Like deep unrest over the wrong track this nation is headed down. Maybe one or two of those newsroom chiefs will be ashamed at how it's played out so far, but I kind of doubt it.

they do have a stated list of demands.
Robbery, do you want these kids to have a 400 page document to send to the govt. as to how to fix the f*ck up's the govt created? you want them to sift through the bureaucratic nightmare of the tax code, patent laws, corporate lobbying laws, banking laws, detail all conglomerates that should be dismantled through anti-trust laws... in order to detail how to fix all of it?
letting the govt know that their behavior is unacceptable is doing something.they are doing something. for god's sake, they care. that's a start.
Posted 25 September 2011 - 03:32 AM
let's instead do nothing. i like that idea so much better.

Empty demands will not do anything:
How should we change the system to end capital punishment?
How can we end wealth inequality?
What are the repercussions for officers who intimidate?
How can we end corporate censorship if they're not breaking specific laws?
I don't think they are wrong and I think a lot of things are wrong, I just think they need a plan. Even Obama "had" a "plan." It didn't work, but at least he tried to "make" a difference.
If they're protesting to start overthrowing the government, just go ahead and state that.
I have a plan to cut the deficit, but I don't know how to end corruption or to legally steal from the rich and give to the poor. I don't think these people do either.

Prices are going up. Unemployment is continue to go up. And we have not had the necessary correction for the financial bubble created by our Federal Reserve system.
Ron Paul
Of course I've already taken a very modest position on the monetary system, I do take the position that we should just end the Fed.
Ron Paul
End the fed.
Asking those who have created the situation to correct it is the wrong answer to the problem. Asking an addict to betterr regulate their addiction is a self defeating purpose.

|Researchers presenting work at the American Chemical Society meeting say that adding charcoal to soil may provide a big boost to agriculture. Adding charcoal called 'biochar' to soil, say Mingxin Guo and colleagues, could be "a revolutionary approach for long-term soil quality improvement," providing more benefits than adding compost or manure. The process could also provide a way of sequestering carbon captured from carbon dioxide emissions. In this segment, Ira talks to Guo about the technique, which Guo says was used over 1500 years ago in the Amazon basin.

Do you suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia? This is a term coined by Dr. Donald Dossey to describe a fear of Friday the thirteenth. The good doctor claims that once you can pronounce the word, you're cured. And since this Friday fits that bill, it might be good to understand this most feared of all calendar dates
In actuality it is estimated that in excess of 20 million Americans suffer from this fear and as a result, over $750 million dollars will be lost in business because those people will not shop, travel, or take risks of any kind on Friday the thirteenth.Hotels and other skyscrapers rarely have a 13th floor, many cities will skip thirteenth street, and to this day, the US Navy will not launch a ship on Friday the thirteenth.
How did Friday the thirteenth come to obtain such a reputation? Many people trace the origins of this superstition back to early Christianity. It is said 13 is an unlucky number because there were exactly 13 people attending the last supper, Jesus and the twelve Disciples. Adding to that, the last to arrive, unlucky number 13, was Judas, the betrayer of Christ. And the final piece of the puzzle? Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
Contrary to popular belief, however, the dread of 13 goes much deeper than Christian theology. In fact, the roots of this can be traced all the way back to ancient Norse mythology. Supposedly at a dinner held in the mythical Valhalla, the god Loki was the uninvited thirteenth guest. Through trickery and deception, Loki killed another god, Balder the Good. To this day, many people will avoid a thirteenth guest at dinner.
What does any of this have to do with Friday? In today's world, especially business and school, Friday is a good day. Most of us use the TGIF annacronym at least once in a while? Friday's bad name actually comes from a combination of Norse mythology and early Christianity. Friday was named after the goddess Frigga, the goddess of love. Friday was her day, the day to express love and lust. Early Christian priests, in an effort to stamp out the heresy of pagan rituals, especially those involving lust, labeled Friday a day of sin. To an extent, that legend continues, always amplified by the bad luck associated with 13.
This year, we have only one Friday the thirteenth and it's almost here. So, we have a few days to work on our phonics, paraskevidekatriaphobia. Practice it, say it out loud, and you'll be cured.

Kayaks vs. canoes
Which is better depends on how you wish to paddle
Dave Foley
Those who seriously love to be out on the water with a paddle, invariably discover that owning just one boat is never enough. In 1984 I bought a Sawyer DY Special solo canoe to paddle on our lake. Then we discovered wilderness tripping and soon had acquired two tandem canoes for family trips to Quetico Provincial Park. An upgrade from fiberglass to Kevlar put another canoe on the rack. Next I had the urge to compete, which led to the purchase of two very lightweight tippy racing canoes. And then we discovered sea kayaking and three more fiberglass craft were added to the fleet.
Now, as an owner of seven canoes and three sea kayaks, when I get asked, "Which do you prefer? Kayaks or canoes?" I have some ready answers.
Easiest to paddle: kayak
What's the easiest to paddle? Without doubt, it's the kayak. Most first-timers quickly adapt to the double-bladed, side-to-side paddle stroke. A short demonstration of the forward and back sweep makes the concept of turning understandable. Canoeing, on the other hand, isn't so simple. They are more difficult to turn. Tandem boats require some level of cooperation and coordination between partners to move the boat in a straight line and handle the challenges of river paddling. Solo paddlers need to master several variations of turning and maneuvering strokes.
Although a kayaker, with a paddle blade dipping into the water with every body rotation, has a faster cadence, the constant motion means there is no resting of muscles. In the canoe when paddling is being done on one side before switching, some muscles are able to recover.
Most comfortable: canoe
When it comes to comfort, the kayak has some liabilities. The term "being one with the boat" is an apt description of a paddler sitting in a sea kayak. Once you've "shoehorned" yourself into one of these, your feet are immobile against the foot pedals, your knees pressed outward to the sides of the kayak and your butt is on a contoured seat almost on the floor of the craft. Those with back problems won't want to spend much time in a kayak. Moving around much is not an option.
Canoeists don't have such a stressful relationship with their boat. It's a more comfortable ride. Sitting in it the paddler has room to stretch his legs. The slight loss of stability caused by sitting higher is offset by being able to better see the water. Getting in and out of a canoe is nowhere as tricky as it is in a kayak. It usually requires doing a little balancing, using the gunnels for support. But entering or exiting is often a matter of just standing and stepping in or out.
However, those who like to paddle at the ends of the open water season may favor kayaks. Tucked into a cockpit and sealed off with a spray skirt, a kayak paddler is less exposed to the wind and therefore more comfortable.
Best as keeping you dry: canoe
After a day trip in a kayak, better have a change of clothes handy because even with the spray rings located on the shaft, as one paddles, water drips down and lands in your lap. Wearing a spray skirt catches the drips, yet when you leave the boat, the wet skirt tends to dampen your clothes.
Sitting close to the water provides more stability, making tipping over less likely in a kayak. The easiest way to exit is to just step into the water beside the boat. However, trying to keep your feet dry as you extract yourself from that fiberglass or Kevlar cocoon can turn you into a contortionist. Pulling myself up onto a dock or reaching for dry land while exiting a kayak usually involves a maneuver not unlike the awkward hunch-like movements a seal makes crawling onto land.
Best for big water: kayak
For touring the Great Lakes, I prefer a sea kayak. In those great expanses of often windswept water, the waves can be intimidating. Though water may wash over the deck, the boat remains watertight. Sealed in a spray skirt, I stay dry and the gear stowed in compartments under the hatch covers is also protected. The low profile of the kayak makes it less of a target for the winds, giving the paddler more control. Steering becomes much less problematic, if the boat is equipped with a skeg or rudder.
Best for inland water: canoe
On inland waters, canoes have the advantage. Unless it is a large lake, waves pouring over the gunnels is unlikely. Paddling in a crosswind may still be a problem, especially in an empty canoe where the open area of the boat catches air like a sail. However, two paddlers working together in a tandem canoe can usually overcome difficulties of a wind from the side.
A watertight kayak, with everything sealed under hatches and spray skirt, may keep stuff dry in rough seas and inclement weather, but it also makes it inaccessible. In the canoe it is all there, stowed under the seat or within reach on the boat bottom.
Best for fishing: canoe
Unless you are in a specially designed fishing model, anglers will have a tougher time working out of a sea kayak. Rods and landing nets must be secured under decking lines and all tackle, as well as bait, will be in the cockpit with you.
And if you land a good-sized salmon, lake trout, walleye or northern pike, these lively game fish will be in your lap flopping around as you try to unhook them and get them on a stringer or released back into the lake. Compared to that scenario, the open area of a canoe seems a much friendlier environment to deal with fresh caught fish.
Easiest to portage: canoe
Though both boat types have been designed for water travel, carrying a loaded sea kayak overland is an arduous task. Even hauling an empty kayak is still troublesome as it doesn't fit easily on shoulders and carrying by hand straps is agony for the arms. If the kayak is emptied, you still have to hand carry all the many items that had been stuffed in the hatches.
Portaging a canoe is much easier. With good portage yokes attached to the gunnels and gear consolidated into Duluth packs, canoe parties can more easily balance the boats on shoulders and carry gear on their backs to the next body of water.
Carries more gear: canoe
Canoes, by virtue of their larger open area have greater carrying capacity, which is an advantage for extended trips. Packing for long kayak tours involves stowing all gear in the narrow confines of the boat's interior. Fitting bulky items may be a challenge and sometimes an impossibility.
Easiest to transport: kayak
When it comes to transporting boats by automobile, the higher profile of canoes catches more wind. Special attention must be given when strapping those on car tops. The thinner kayaks ride easier on the roof top and often two kayaks can be racked on a basic rack, whereas often there is only room for one tandem canoe.
So which is better? It depends on the needs of the paddler. Both canoes and kayaks require little maintenance and they never wear out. My recommendation? Buy both.
Dave Foley
thought he had enough canoes and kayaks until he realized he has nothing for paddling whitewater.

what distro are you using?
Big newbie here...
I've tried downloading things using the Gnome gui, and they'll say they're downloading to desktop, but the files never end up on my desktop...I don't get it. Where do these files go? For example, I downloaded RealPlayer 10, I wasn't able to choose where to direct it, it just downloaded to desktop, but it ain't there.
Any answers for me?
what distro are you using?
Try this: Go to your home directory using the file browser (nautilus) and then open up you "Desktop" directory. Select View->Refresh. If things suddenly appear, then this is a bug in the way nautilus draws the desktop. It's been around forever and still pops up from time to time. Logging out and logging back in will probably fix it.
I'm using FC 3
I found the file - it was in my home directory (though it didn't show up there until I did a search for it)
I only turned over from Microsoft a couple days ago, and am at the very beginning of the Linux journey, so things have been rough, but I'm still excited...excited to be free. I'm sure I'll be posting here like mad looking for solutions to problems. Thanks.
Are you using Firefox as your browser? If so, you can configure where your default downloads go under Edit->Preferences.
And yeah it's always a bit of a shock at first when you're converting. Give yourself some time to get all the kinks worked out of your new install. Once you have a usable system and you develop a routine, linux becomes just as second nature as windows.

Hollie Greig alleged in 2000 that she was the victim of a paedophile gang in Aberdeen. Her mother Anne was forcibly sectioned within days of the allegations being made.

Letter Sent To Grampian Police
ACC Colin Menzies
Grampian Police
Queen St
4th January 2010
Dear ACC Menzies
I act as lay legal representative for anne and Hollie greig, both formerly Mackie.
In the public interest, please confirm how much money has been spent by your force on Hollie's allegations and subsequent investigations made in 2000 and 2009. Also please provide the figure for the work required for Anne's complaints against Grampian Police that led to a Police Complaints Commission inquiry.
Additionally, please advise me of the current amount of money spent so far in dealing with my case, following my arrest on 12th February 2010.
You were challenged over the costs incurred by your force in the case of Mr Stuart Kennedy, I am informed to be a male stripper, who wore a police uniform as part of his occupation, which I understood ran to £170,000. You were quoted as justifying this outlay by saying that you had a duty to investigate all reports of alleged criminal behaviour.
I have a number of very serious allegations of this category to report, but my bail conditions preclude me from entering your area. I must tell you that some of the allegations relate to officers in your force, real police officers, not imaginery ones like Mr Kennedy.
Could you therefore propose the most realistic method of conveying these allegations to your force ?
Yours sincerely,
Robert Green

Rumors spreading around the internet indicate that the annual Bilderberg conference will be held at a Marriott hotel in Chantilly, Virginia, near Dulles Airport. On the last day of May the Bilderberg Group will meet in Chantilly, Virginia.
Despite rumors pointing to Haifa, Israel, as the chosen venue, according to the information being spread around conservative websites, from May 31 to June 3, the super-secretive and immeasurably influential Bilderberg Group will congregate at the Marriott Westfields Washington Dulles Hotel and Conference Center located in a Washington, D.C., suburb. (Pictured)
The Bilderberg Group gets its name from the hotel in the Netherlands where its first meeting was held in 1954. After years of maintaining a tight lid on all its activities, recently the association has established a web presence where press releases are published, as well as rosters of invitees. Such disclosures beg the question, however, of why a group that goes to extraordinary lengths to cloak its conferences in secrecy would offer such information on the internet.
While the Bilderbergers are notoriously tight-lipped about both the people and the program, there is evidence from past gatherings that perhaps one item on the agenda might be the vetting of a vice-presidential running mate for presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
This wouldn't be the first time the Bilderberg group has played a role in that selection. In 2004, for example, John Edwards was invited to speak at the confab, an honor that resulted in his placement on the Democratic Party ticket with John Kerry. Then, in 2008, a similar scenario led to Barack Obama's "choosing" of Joe Biden to be his VP.

Its never too early to start thinking about winter in the north country.
Between advertisements for mail-order Viagra and food canning secrets, the Old Farmers Almanac, the nations oldest prognosticator, predicts that much of the country will have below-normal winter temperatures and above-normal snowfall this year, though the north country may escape the worst of it.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures and precipitation in the region will be close to normal for the next three months.
But with AccuWeather forecasting the seasons first snowfall for mid-November, municipalities are already readying their snowplows and residents are bracing themselves for the flurries to fly.
On a day that had its own hard-to-predict weather patterns, business owners and residents sought shelter in the Paddock Arcade, downtown Watertown, from the sudden downpour on Monday morning. Despite comparatively balmy conditions, specters of winter were clearly visible over the horizon.
Marjorie G. Burnett, 89, of Watertown, is already planning to head south to Virginia for the winter as she has for the past 13 years.
There she will stay with her daughter, Terry L. Galliger.
Mrs. Burnett, who has lived in the north country since she was 5 years old, said she worked for a number of years for pediatrician Dr. George S. Sturtz. She can recall walking to work through the snow when the roads were impassable.
And sometimes the snow wouldnt stay outside.
Remember when you used to leave the window open and you would wake up to snowdrifts in the bedroom? her daughter asked.
Mrs. Burnett began traveling south after her husband, former Watertown city firefighter Robert J. Burnett, died in 2000. She said she heads down around Thanksgiving and tries to come back after the last signs of winter have disappeared. Sometimes that doesnt happen until April.
It looks nice, it stays nice and then it snows, she said.
The two women passed by Europe Cakes bakery, where owner Monica P. Atanasova said that while it took her some time to get used to the north country winters, she eventually came to like them.
You get used to it, you start to like it. ... Whatever happens, happens, she said.
Mrs. Atanasova moved here from Bulgaria 10 years ago to join her husband, Atanas P. Nasko Atanasov, when he was hired as a network administrator for Bernier, Carr & Associates after graduating from Jefferson Community College.
She said that in her native country the winters are mild because of the salt water of the Black Sea.
It is salt of a different kind that Mrs. Atanasova will be dealing with this winter, however.
Municipalities dump an average of 38,000 tons of salt and 35,000 tons of sand on roadways across Jefferson County, according to County Highway Superintendent James L. Lawrence Jr.
And even that pales in comparison to the 115,000 tons of salt that the state Department of Transportation drops on state roadways across Region 7 which includes Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton counties.
They cure bacon, city Public Works Superintendent Eugene P. Hayes said.
The city of Watertown uses about 3,000 tons of salt a year and begins winter preparations in late August, according to Mr. Hayes.
The DOT goes on winter scheduling sometime in November in Jefferson County and even earlier in northern counties. Winter hours provide for 24-hour coverage, according to spokesman Michael R. Flick.
DOT hires 40 to 50 temporary workers to deal with snow and ice, Mr. Flick said.
In Jefferson County, the first plow will be affixed to the first truck sometime this week, according to Mr. Lawrence. After that, the county will slowly ramp up its preparations and will be fully equipped in six weeks.
We use Columbus Day as our point of reference to start outfitting plows, Mr. Lawrence said.
According to the National Weather Service, the 30-year temperature averages for November, December and January for the Buffalo region, which includes Jefferson and Lewis counties, are 38.3 degrees, 26.4 degrees and 19.4 degrees, respectively.
The service will release its official winter forecast next week.
The average first snow in Watertown is Nov. 12; the earliest was on Oct. 1, 1946, according to the Northeast Regional Climate Center.
The earliest snowfall in Canton was on Sept. 26, 1939.
This year, AccuWeather.com predicts snow on Nov. 11 and 12.
The change in the season is not necessarily bad news for everyone.
David P. Bartlett, owner of Johnny D.s Restaurant in the Paddock Arcade, said that business often picks up in the winter when residents who flock to river destinations in the summer decide to stick closer to home.

Out Stealing Horsesby Per Petterson
Staff Pick
Hailed by critics across the globe, showered with awards, Out Stealing Horses is a book that true lovers of the written word will hold close to their hearts. With its captivating prose and characters who burrow under your skin and refuse to come out, Per Petterson's haunting, elegiac novel is so good, you'll want to buy multiple copies so you can always have one for yourself, no matter how many friends want to borrow it (and they will!).
"It's a masculine and spare story, and Petterson tells it in sentences stripped of emotion and literary pretense....The style befits not only the stark Norwegian landscape, but it's perfectly befitting a man as emotionally distant as Trond." Peter Martin, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
We were going out stealing horses. That was what he said, standing at the door to the cabin where I was spending the summer with my father. I was fifteen. It was 1948 and one of the first days of July.
Trond's friend Jon often appeared at his doorstep with an adventure in mind for the two of them. But this morning was different. What began as a joy ride on "borrowed" horses ends with Jon falling into a strange trance of grief. Trond soon learns what befell Jon earlier that day — an incident that marks the beginning of a series of vital losses for both boys.
Set in the easternmost region of Norway, Out Stealing Horses begins with an ending. Sixty-seven-year-old Trond has settled into a rustic cabin in an isolated area to live the rest of his life with a quiet deliberation. A meeting with his only neighbor, however, forces him to reflect on that fateful summer.
"Award-winning Norwegian novelist Petterson renders the meditations of Trond Sander, a man nearing 70, dwelling in self-imposed exile at the eastern edge of Norway in a primitive cabin. Trond's peaceful existence is interrupted by a meeting with his only neighbor, who seems familiar. The meeting pries loose a memory from a summer day in 1948 when Trond's friend Jon suggests they go out and steal horses. That distant summer is transformative for Trond as he reflects on the fragility of life while discovering secrets about his father's wartime activities. The past also looms in the present: Trond realizes that his neighbor, Lars, is Jon's younger brother, who 'pulls aside the fifty years with a lightness that seems almost indecent.' Trond becomes immersed in his memory, recalling that summer that shaped the course of his life while, in the present, Trond and Lars prepare for the winter, allowing Petterson to dabble in parallels both bold and subtle. Petterson coaxes out of Trond's reticent, deliberate narration a story as vast as the Norwegian tundra. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"This short yet spacious and powerful book...reminds us of the careful and apropos writing of J. M. Coetzee, W. G. Sebald and Uwe Timm." Thomas McGuane, New York Times
"The novel's incidents and lush but precise descriptions...are on a par with those of Cather, Steinbeck, Berry, and Hemingway, and its emotional force and flavor are equivalent to what those authors can deliver, too." Booklist
"Haunting, minimalist prose and expert pacing give this quiet story from Norway native Petterson an undeniably authoritative presence." Kirkus Reviews
"Petterson captures perfectly the flavor of adolescence." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"American readers should feel fortunate to have this beautiful translation of Petterson's work; finally, we are given the opportunity to step inside his graceful, deeply felt universe." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Petterson has established his reputation abroad, winning several international prizes...but he deserves critical acclaim here as well. Highly recommended for all fiction collections." Library Journal
"[R]emarkable....Now and then a book comes along that deserves the label 'classic.' Out Stealing Horses is in that class, a rough woodcut that portrays the very mystery of life itself." Dallas Morning News
Out Stealing Horses has been embraced across the world as a classic, a novel of universal relevance and power. Panoramic and gripping, it tells the story of Trond Sander, a 67-year-old man who has moved from the city to a remote, riverside cabin, only to have all the turbulence, grief, and overwhelming beauty of his youth come back to him one night while he's out on a walk. From the moment Trond sees a strange figure coming out of the dark behind his home, the reader is immersed in a decades-deep story of searching and loss, and in the precise, irresistible prose of a newly crowned master of fiction.
About the Author
Per Petterson is the author of five novels, including In the Wake and To Siberia. Out Stealing Horses has won the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, and the Norwegian Booksellers' Prize. A former librarian and bookseller, Petterson lives in Oslo, Norway.

CANTON A $287 million lawsuit against the city of Ogdensburg and its police department by Wayne T. Oxley after he was found not guilty of murder charges was dismissed by a state Supreme Court judge Wednesday.
Mr. Oxley, 47, formerly of Ogdensburg, filed the lawsuit containing 18 causes of action against the city in connection with his 2005 arrest in the murder of his neighbor Bernard A. Trickey Jr. Mr. Oxley won the appeal of his conviction at his first trial on the murder charge. A second trial ended in a hung jury. Mr. Oxley was acquitted at his third trial.
Named in the lawsuit were former Police Chief Andrew P. Wells and police officers Andrew D. Kennedy and Harry J. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Kennedy both testified against Mr. Oxley during his trials. Also named in the suit was Steven M. Fisher, a detective with city police during the murder investigation, and Detective Shawn R. Shaver.
The complaint against the city included alleged violations of his civil and constitutional rights, punitive damages and a loss of wages and benefits while he was incarcerated on murder charges.
State Supreme Court Justice David R. Demarest issued an 11-page decision in granting the defendants request to dismiss the lawsuit in its entirety, stating that Mr. Oxley did not file certain causes of action in a timely manner while also not providing sufficient evidence to prove he was unjustly arrested and prosecuted and that it is established by a matter of law that there was probable cause for his arrest by a grand jury and trial jury and the appellate court.
Attorney John J. Muldowney, of the law firm representing the city, Fischer, Bessette, Muldowney & Hunter LLP, Malone, said the judges decision supported his stance that his clients followed the rules of the law.
One of the major points that we made in this case was that the city of Ogdensburg, as a municipality, and its police department, didnt do anything wrong that could rise in a civil complaint, Mr. Muldowney said. They followed the rules and had reasonable grounds to do what they did.
Mr. Oxley said while he was disappointed in the judges decision, he was glad to move on.
I gave it hell and its time to move forward with the rest of my life as I have done since my acquittal, Mr. Oxley said in a statement. It is time to move on to bigger and better things. Somehow, someday, someone needs to be held accountable for the unsolved murders in this county.
Mr. Oxley has another lawsuit pending against the state for unjust conviction. A trial date is set for July 14.

This might be kind of vague and I know that deployments are based on needs of the Army so there may not be a way to know for sure, but on average, does anyone know if AD Army gets deployed any more than National Guard or Reserves and if they do, how often or how much more?

Re: General deployment question-AD vs NG
The active compoment will deploy more often because they are filled, trained and supposed to have the equipment for its wartime mission. And the majority train for it daily. The reserve components fill a temporary need. Sometimes, you think with the amount of turnover in the active compoment and the personnel stability in the reserve components, that it be just the oppositive but remember the reserve components were not designed to do that. These conflicts have led to the largest activation and call-up since World War II; even though National Guard units had a major presence in the Vietnam War and Desert Shield/Desert Storm/Persian Gulf War.

Re: General deployment question-AD vs NG
Just three years ago there were more NG in Iraq then AD, but times are a changing. I think it was a raw percentage, not compared to overall strength but just straight numbers on the ground and it was a minimum difference, I dont remember exact percentages but it was close to 53/47% so it was close, but still more. And thats just one country of course and it seems like AD gets more of the non combat deployments then NG does in those other countries.

Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp
The Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp is the ideal choice if you are out in the great outdoors after the sun has set. This head lamp is specially designed with one high-output white LED that is capable of shining light as far as 195 ft. on its maximum level. The battery charge indicator light switches on when the illumination is less than 16 ft. and only 50% burn time is available. Due to its push-button switch, the lamp does not get turned on during storage and transportation, thus preserving its battery power. This lightweight device performs well even when exposed to low temperatures. This lamp is also equipped with an adjustable headband which allows you to have your hands free for other important things. With the Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp, you can go on overnight outings safely prepared.
