6 Things That Never Make Sense About Zombie Movies
Let me start with a caveat -- I have not seen every zombie movie ever. Please do not point out how in Frederico LaDouchey's 1958 Italian epic Il Zomboner all of these questions were answered before the credits finished rolling. I'm just saying that, by and large, zombie fiction refuses to acknowledge these small points that, when you think about them, are kind of a big deal for the fantasy to play out.
That said, I watch a lot of zombie movies. More than maybe is normal, and once I get to the third or so watching of a particular movie, I'll stop and wonder about these details and why it is that no one wants to explain them to me. Then I get sad that I'm demanding answers from a piece of fiction, so I eat some ice cream and fall asleep in my comfy chair, and when Gladstone wakes me up the next morning, he tells me everything will be OK. But secretly I still want to know.
#6. Why Don't Zombies Ever Finish Their Meal?
Our movie is going to open with something pleasant. Quiet. Unassuming. Cillian Murphy having a nap, Barbara and her annoying brother going for a drive, Milla Jovovich dressed in mildly inappropriate fashion not conducive to fighting dogs that seem to be inexplicably wrapped in bacon. And then pretty soon a zombie is going to run out of nowhere all "bwaaggh blarr gwaaah" and try to eat someone's head and it's all downhill from there for our hero as he or she assembles a few survivors who slowly dwindle down to a couple of people by the end as everyone else is torn asunder and zombified. It's so much like a road trip to Detroit, you have no idea.
The biggest problem in the zombie world for you, a non-zombie, is becoming a zombie. You don't want that. It probably sucks horribly. How often do you think zombies have sex? Never. Not ever. Because their bits and bobs are rotten and ill-suited to the task. That sucks. So you want to avoid zombies. The downside, of course, is that zombies want to eat you, right? But do they?
We take it for granted in the genre now that some things are generally standard. Zombies are reanimated corpses. They lack the mental faculties of a living person and are driven only by base hunger, like customers at an Arby's, willing to eat anything. But if all they want to do is eat you, why are there so many zombies around?
You never see half-eaten zombies in movies. Sure, you'll see the odd legless zombie, like that cool one in the first season of The Walking Dead that Rick puts out of its misery instead of mounting it on the hood of his car like the most badass hood ornament in the history of ever, but why are so many fully intact, barring the odd trauma and pasty, creeper eyes? If zombies are eating people, shouldn't heavily populated areas be littered with stripped-bare corpses? Dirty, gnawed skeletons all over the place and such? That would make sense, especially in densely populated areas like cities. For every abandoned car burning on the side of the road, there should at least be one body eaten down to stubs and giblets. Instead, zombies seem to attack people, have a nibble, and then like disinterested partygoers faced with a crappy hors d'oeuvre platter, they move on. If you're that hungry, eat your damn meal, you dirty zombie. But they never do. Why is that?
#5. Why Are They Chasing The Most Dangerous Game?
Is reading this article making you hungry? It's OK to admit it, I'm eating a pie while I write it. It's cherry. I accidentally bought a diabetic cherry pie by mistake, and the inside feels like a sponge full of fruity water, but whatever. They apparently made it with a lot of cornstarch and basically ruined my entire day with their callous assholery. No biggie. I could swap it out for a ham if I so choose. You could go have a delicious turkey right this second. We have lots of choices. So why don't zombies?
I like the idea of a zombie in general; a monster that is the cold, dark face of humanity, stripped of reason, of everything that makes you alive, and just motivated by the need to feed. But of all the things you could mindlessly eat, why choose people? Even supposing that zombies are so devoid of reason as to view the world simply as moving things that potentially offer sustenance and nonmoving things on which you can stub your toes, outside of a tightly packed room full of people, does hunting humans for food even make sense? Why not eat each other?
Some have argued, and a few films bear it out, that what separates food from zombie brother is stank. In Shaun of the Dead, they went so far as to suggest that just acting like a zombie is pretty decent cover for getting past them. So if something prohibits a zombie from eating his own stinky, limping brethren, there's still a world just lousy with house cats, cows, lemurs and Kardashians. Why can't those be eaten? I like to think that if I were a zombie, I'd just head to Costco and spend the rest of my wretched existence eating giant tubs of mayonnaise and goldfish crackers. Who has time to chase down svelte, young action heroes? Plus suppose you even catch Emma Stone, who seems awesome and all, but I bet she tastes way shittier than some Manwich. Why bother?
#4. How Do They Know Anything?
Suspension of disbelief works best if the suspension is not stretched to its utmost limits. In a fairy tale setting, anything goes, and we as an audience are OK with it because the world is pure fantasy and if you want to introduce a talking penis that grants wishes, that's legit. In zombie fiction, you're suggesting that this is happening in the real world. The world this article exists in, the world you exist in, the world Gary Busey exists in. It has rules. Our suspension of disbelief is that something is animating dead tissue. Cool. Let's toss in a zombie cheerleader.
Knowing that a zombie is just a corpse that keeps moving presents a whole sticky wicket of problems. Did I use that term correctly? No. It's just as incorrect as zombies chasing you down a street. Even if whatever it is that animates zombies keeps their muscles from totally atrophying or desiccating or snapping like the elastic in the waistband of my vintage 1985 Transformers boxers, how are they tracking you? The go-to special effect for a zombie is white contacts -- zombie movies love those milky white eyes, so you have no doubt that every zombie has a wicked case of cataracts. They shouldn't be able to see you dancing the Charleston down Main Street with nipple tassels and a feather duster up your ass. You guys do that to the blind, too, right?
How is that zombie tracking down its prey? Its hearing and sense of smell have to be just as bad as its eyesight, and since many movies seem to indicate a progression of their decay, it's only going to get worse with time. Eventually, they're just going to be bitey little dried-up sacks of dusty stink that can't do anything, aren't they?

Bon Jovi's individual attempt to buy the Bills hasn't gone too well, so he's now considering teaming up with a former Buffalo QB to increase his chances of landing the winning bid for the team.
Bon Jovi and his group of Toronto-based investors reportedly reached out to HOF QB Jim Kelly within the past five days to discuss joining forces for a potential collective bid, according to The Buffalo News' Tim Graham. And the report states that Kelly has at least considered the possibility.
As far as terms go, Jim and his brother, Dan, reportedly want two percent equity in the team. They're also seeking lifetime jobs, a cash payment up front for their services and final say on all football decisions.
The Kellys have met with other ownership groups but haven't been able to strike a bidding partnership. They were previously partnered up with bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach, but could not accumulate enough money to be a bidder. It's unclear if Gundlach would still be involved if the Kellys joined forces with Bon Jovi.
This potential move makes sense on paper and could benefit both parties. The Kellys don't have enough money to make a bid on their own, but they do come from football backgrounds and could also help draw support from fans—an area Bon Jovi has struggled immensely in.
Still, it's an interesting turn of events—given the circumstances.
Jim Kelly is probably the most beloved man in Buffalo. Jon Bon Jovi — at least right now — is the most hated. Would be quite the pairing.
— Mike Rodak (@mikerodak) August 16, 2014
At the current time, it seems as if Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula is the front-runner to buy the team. He has a reported net worth of $3.3 billion and would likely keep the franchise in Western New York. Bon Jovi, on the other hand—along with his Toronto-based investors—does not come with the same guarantee.
It may be a last-ditch effort by both parties, but teaming up would seemingly benefit both sides and could produce a stronger bid than if the two went in alone or with other ownership groups.

Nowhere in Switzerland is the night sky as bright and clear as in the Val Müstair. This is due to its fog-free setting, the dry and non-windy microclimate and the lack of strong artificial light sources. As a result, the observatory in the village of Lü has become a centre for ambitious amateur astronomers. However, it is not only the night sky that you can almost touch here. Go for a winter hike on the Senda Val Müstair trail high up on the sunny side of the valley where there is plenty of light and admire the beautiful views toward the peaks of the Münstertal and Vinschgau valleys. The route starts near the valley station of the Minschuns sports cable railway (catch the sports bus at the Tschierv village centre free of charge). Climbing gently, the trail leads to the Alp da Munt and continues on to the frozen Lai da Juata lake. Then it makes a gradual descent via the Alp Champatsch to Lü. From there you return by post bus to Tschierv – or take the toboggan run down into the valley.

CLEMSON - Clemson has gotten used to owning February over its rival. South Carolina has been happy to hang on to November.
Recruiting battles, football wars
How Clemson and USC have duked it out the past five years in team recruiting rankings and football games:
Rivals: Clemson No. 19, South Carolina No. 24
Scout: Clemson 23, South Carolina 34
247Sports: Clemson 28, South Carolina 30
ESPN: Clemson 19, South Carolina 22

Rivals: Clemson 8, South Carolina 18
Scout: South Carolina 11, Clemson 12
247Sports: Clemson 10, South Carolina 16
ESPN: Clemson 8, South Carolina 15
Nov. 26: South Carolina 34, Clemson 13
Rivals: Clemson 14, South Carolina 19
Scout: South Carolina 13, Clemson 17
247Sports: Clemson 15, South Carolina 17
ESPN: Clemson 10, South Carolina 16
Nov. 24: South Carolina 27, Clemson 17
Rivals: Clemson 14, South Carolina 16
Scout: Clemson 12, South Carolina 24
247Sports: Clemson 15, South Carolina 20
ESPN: Clemson 13, South Carolina 18

Rivals: Clemson 13, South Carolina 16
Scout: South Carolina 24, Clemson 28
247Sports: South Carolina 15, Clemson 18
ESPN: Clemson 12, South Carolina 19
Nov. 29, 2014: South Carolina at Clemson
For the first time in half a decade, the Tigers didn't downright defeat the Gamecocks in the final collection of post-National Signing Day team rankings compiled by the four major recruiting services.
Clemson did edge South Carolina per Rivals (Clemson ranked 13th, USC 16th) and dominated in ESPN's eyes (12 to 19), but the Gamecocks were rated higher by Scout (24 to 28) and in 247Sports' composite rankings (15 to 18), which combine its own measures with Rivals and Scout.
Clemson swept all four services in 2010 and 2013, while taking Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN nods in 2011 and 2012 (USC was favored by Scout those two years.)
South Carolina's recent reign on the football field in November is obvious. It's Gamecocks 5, Tigers 0 in regular season finales going back to 2009.
How has South Carolina relinquished the recruiting battles but claimed the football wars? It's not quite that simple.
Over the past four years, both schools have floated somewhere in the top 20 in the recruiting rankings, with occasional cameos in the top 10 (all by Clemson.) So the Tigers and Gamecocks have been some degree of good-but-not-great on the dotted line, without much separation.
"It's not like Clemson's in the top three every year and South Carolina's down around 25," 247Sports.com national recruiting director J.C. Shurburtt said. "There's not a huge amount of difference between the No. 12 class and the No. 15 class."
There's also the wrinkle of recruiting philosophies: Clemson and South Carolina don't compete for the same players as much as it might seem.
"Clemson did a good job this year. I mean, Deshaun Watson's a five-star quarterback, but he's not a guy that South Carolina ever would have recruited," Rivals.com southeast recruiting analyst Woody Wommack said. "Totally different kind of player, very different needs."
USC coach Steve Spurrier prefers to build a wall around his state, and landed four consecutive Mr. Football award winners from 2008-11 - Stephon Gilmore, Marcus Lattimore, Jadeveon Clowney and Shaq Roland. Clemson hasn't signed South Carolina's Mr. Football since wide receiver Roscoe Crosby in 2000.
"South Carolina hasn't hit the big out-of-state home run five-star. There's guys that are good, like (linebackers) Bryson Allen-Williams (this year) and Larenz Bryant in last year's class," Shurburtt said. "They can go and get a kid from out of state that's highly rated, but their superstars have come from within the state."
On Wednesday, both schools signed nine players from the state of South Carolina, but Clemson coach Dabo Swinney intends to grayshirt four of his in-state products - linebackers Jalen Williams, J.D. Davis and Judah Davis; and kicker Alex Spence.
Of Rivals.com's top 20 prospects from the state of South Carolina, nine are Gamecocks, three are Tigers and eight went elsewhere.
"I think they're realistic in who they target and how they spend their energy," Wommack said of USC. "South Carolina doesn't have the flash factor that Clemson has had over the past few years. Look at the highly rated guys Clemson has brought in - Sammy Watkins was a five-star, Tajh Boyd was ranked really high.
"But I do think that South Carolina does a better job of identifying talent and then more importantly developing it for their system, maybe taking guys that are a little bit off the radar."
Shurburtt pointed to less- heralded recruits like former Beaufort cornerback Jimmy Legree and current Houston Texans safety D.J. Swearinger, as underrated products. Wommack said offensive lineman Malik Young from this class might follow suit.
"It's a situation where South Carolina's bottom part of their classes has gotten more quality players," Shurburtt said. "That's where you have to compare the two. Clemson's gotten probably more superstars than South Carolina, but the Gamecocks, I guess, have been more solid and had more guys pan out."
The Tigers are 32-8 the past three years with wins over Auburn, Florida State, Virginia Tech, LSU, Georgia and Ohio State. Meanwhile, South Carolina has produced back-to-back-to-back 11-2 campaigns, finishing 2011, 2012 and 2013 in the top 10.
"When it comes down to the (Clemson) game, the advantage South Carolina has, is they've had the superior gameplan, and that has nothing to do with recruiting," Shurburtt said. "It seems like they do the same thing every single time they play Clemson: just kind of play keep-away and milk the clock, play good defense, try to pressure the quarterback and force him to make mistakes."
The annual rivalry game will be at Clemson next season (Nov. 29). Clemson turned the ball over six times in last fall's 31-17 defeat at Williams-Brice Stadium.
"I definitely expected Clemson to probably win that game this year. I think a lot of people did going into it," Wommack said. "But South Carolina keeps finding a way to get it done. That's how rivalries are. Sometimes you can't get over that hump.
"Both schools do a pretty good job recruiting. They both finished in the top 20 this year, so they're really not that far apart."

Look at the bright side, Republicans. Your party is still above rock bottom.
But THIS is not good:
Republicans continue to absorb the bulk of the blame for the the protracted budget impasse, with a poll released Monday showing public disapproval of the GOP's handling of the crisis reaching an apex.
The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll found 74 percent of Americans disapproving of how congressional Republicans are handling the budget negotiations, up from 63 percent two weeks ago. Fifty-four percent said they "strongly" disapprove of the Republicans while 20 percent said they "somewhat" disapprove. Only 21 percent said they ...Read more

State police temporarily suspend use of breathalyzers
Dauphin County judge threw out several DUI cases
UPDATED 1:04 PM EST Jan 31, 2013
State police have temporarily suspended the use of breathalyzers in suspected drunken driving cases.
The decision came after a Dauphin County judge threw out several DUI cases after learning one manufacturer omitted a state requirement to have a liquid solution tested by independent labs.
State police spokesman Adam Reed said suspects instead will be taken to a police facility or hospital for a blood-alcohol test.
Reed said the change may actually result in more motorists being charged because blood tests can detect drug intoxication while breathalyzers cannot.

On the Hill Summer, brought to you by The Steadman Clinic and the Steadman Philippon Research Institute, brings you a video report about a different Lake Tahoe adventure every day.
Today's activity: Hike the Rubicon Trail.
Conditions: Today Michelle takes us on a fairly beginner hike along the Rubicon Trail from DL Bliss State Park to Emerald Bay. The trail runs along the lake so the views are of course awesome, and it's about 6.5 miles one way so it's a great day hike.
Today's weather: Late August at Lake Tahoe means get out early before the heat and likely thunderstorms hit, and today is no different. Just a 30 percent chance of those storms we've seen all week, but the winds will still be around, up to 20 mph, which will keep the smoke at bay but will also play havoc with your hair. Again, hit the trail in the morning for the best conditions.— National Weather Service

Brittany Johnk, a West Virginia Wesleyan College student from Parkersburg, recently was named a 2013 Newman Civic Fellow by Campus Compact.
Newman Civic Fellows are recommended by college and university presidents to acknowledge motivation and ability in public leadership.
Johnk, a junior English literature and sociology major and education and honors minor, is committed to education and social justice issues locally, nationally and internationally. As a WE LEAD peer council member through the Center for Community Engagement & Leadership Development, Johnk has coordinated projects resulting in more than 3,000 nonperishable items being collected for local food pantries, as well as raising awareness of food insecurity both in Upshur County and abroad by leading a hunger banquet with more than 100 student attendees in her sophomore year.
Article Photos
When Johnk learned of the local high school dropout rate, she decided to take action by beginning a mentoring program at the middle school entitled DO IT (Decisions & Opportunities Impact Tomorrow). She built a relationship with the administration at the middle school, recruited and trained college mentors, and reached out to parents of identified at-risk youth.
"Brittany is an exceptional student leader who has combined her passion for helping others and leadership skills to great outcomes in the community," said Katie Loudin, coordinator of outreach and leadership development. "I know Brittany will lead an extraordinary life as a force for positive social change, transforming the lives of all who know her."
Johnk is a student coordinator of WE LEAD, is a member of the Wesleyan Service Scholars program and has held several key positions in her sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta. She volunteered at Buckhannon Academy Elementary School through its afterschool program, Project ISAAC, as a Wesleyan Service Scholar her freshman year.
After joining WE LEAD in her sophomore year and growing her leadership skills, she has become a remarkable young change agent in her junior year. She is someone who lives Wesleyan's mission to "demonstrate local and world citizenship through service."
"During my time at Wesleyan, I have gained a deeper understanding of service, leadership and myself," Johnk said. "My involvement with the CCE provides me with opportunities to address social issues while developing leadership skills and gaining valuable experiences. I am honored to be selected as a Newman Civic Fellow, and I know I would not have received this award were it not for the growth and knowledge I have experienced through my campus involvement. The faculty and staff have supported me in my efforts to strive for social justice as well as in my personal development. I am grateful for their commitment to my education, my efforts and me, as an individual."
The Newman Civic Fellows Award honors inspiring college student leaders who have demonstrated an investment in finding solutions for challenges facing communities throughout the country. Through service, research and advocacy, Newman Civic Fellows are making the most of their college experiences to better understand themselves, the root causes of social issues and effective mechanisms for creating lasting change. These students represent the next generation of public problem solvers and civic leaders.
Newman Civic Fellows awards are made in memory of Frank Newman, who dedicated his life to creating systemic change through education reform. Newman's leadership was selfless, optimistic and determined, spanning an incredible career of more than five decades. At the core of Newman's leadership was a belief in the power of individuals to make a difference and in the power of connection with others.

LISBON - The passage of a bond issue in the Beaver Local School District toward the construction of a new school building has raised concerns in the minds of many parents, including some whose children don't even attend school in the district.
The bond issue, which was approved by voters this past March, will fund construction of a massive building that will house grades K through 12. It will replace all five district school buildings, including Beaver Local High School, Beaver Local Middle School, and Calcutta, Rogers and West Point elementary schools upon completion, which is scheduled for the summer of 2015.
The site chosen for the new structure is on Bell School Road behind the current Beaver Local Middle School in Lisbon. That site includes part of the Beaver Local Fields, better known as the Old Timers Baseball Complex, where the East Liverpool Area Youth Baseball association has practiced and played its home games for decades. The district has owned the ball fields for several years and has consistently granted ELAYB use of the complex during youth baseball seasons.

A groundbreaking for the new school building is planned for early spring 2013, which roughly coincides with the beginning of practice for the youth baseball season. With both dates only months away, parents of ELAYB players have begun petitioning the BL Board of Education for consideration in their need for another location for game play and practice.
One of those parents, Ron Bryer, has addressed his concerns to the board. He referred to the passage of the school bond issue as a bittersweet occasion, saying that he's glad that a new school will be constructed for the children, but is saddened by the impending loss of the baseball complex.
"Most people never believed that the school levy would ever pass," Bryer said, which meant there was little worry amongst ELAYB parents about the future of the ball fields or their availability. Now that it has become a reality, however, Bryer says there are two important questions for the BLSD: Will ELAYB be permitted to play at one of the district's other ball fields at Calcutta, Rogers or West Point while the new building is under construction? And, once it is completed, will ELAYB be permitted the use of the new school's baseball facilities?
As it stands, the association is still actively searching for a place to practice and play baseball. Bryer says he would gladly accept either the use of an existing ball field or a donated parcel of land that ELAYB volunteers could develop into a workable ball field. In so doing, he wished to stress that ELAYB is a non-profit organization.
"The end goal is to find something that the league can go and use eventually," Bryer said. Although the team could make arrangements to play mostly away games in league play, he says the need for a practice space is still there, with no resolution in sight.

Brad Pressel and his wife, Stacy, both realized that their twin sons, Zach and Tayler, had decent athletic talent at a very early age.
"We could tell that they were good athletes,'' Brad said of the twins, who were born eight minutes apart at Pittsburgh's Allegheny General Hospital on Aug. 5, 1994. "They were playing catch with me out in our yard at a really young age, 7 or 8 years old, and I could throw the baseball or football to them like I was throwing it to an adult. They just had the knack.''
The Pressel twins kept that athletic knack and honed it to a fine point during their days growing up in the Northern Bedford Area School District. When they graduate from Northern Bedford High School this spring, they'll do so leaving a remarkable athletic legacy, as well as a sizeable void for the school's football, basketball and track programs.

Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Tayler Pressel (left)?and Zach Pressel are three-year starters for the Northern Bedford boys basketball team.
Both 6-foot-3 standouts are currently in their third seasons as starters with the boys varsity basketball program - Tayler as a center averaging over 13 points and nine rebounds per game, and Zach as a guard averaging 10 points per game.
Both were two-year, two-way varsity starters in the football program - Tayler as a tight end and middle linebacker, and Zach as a wideout and defensive end.
In track, both are state-caliber jumpers, with Zach having won two District 5 championships and a pair of PIAA Class AA state medals for placing fifth and fourth, respectively, the last two springs in the high jump, and Tayler qualifying for states last season in the triple jump.
"They've both gotten a lot of stuff done in sports over the last three or four years,'' said Jeff Batzel, who is the head coach of both Northern Bedford's football and track teams. "They've left a legacy here at Northern Bedford as really outstanding all-around athletes, and they're going to be missed next year.''
Batzel said that the Pressel twins possess a competitive desire that is nearly commensurate with their athletic ability.
"They're both tall, and they both jump extremely well,'' Batzel said. "They're both very competitive and fiery on the field, track or court, but they're also both very coachable and polite. Away from the field, you won't meet any nicer kids than them.''
Zach and Tayler both said they share a strong personal bond as brothers. At the same time, their competitive fire sometimes bursts through against one another.
"During football tackling drills, when we were up against each other in practices, we tried to out-do each other,'' Zach said. "But we don't let it get into our heads. We're always supporting each other. It's always been nice having [Tayler] around. Challenging each other has helped us to become better in sports.''
Zach - a 180-pounder who plans to attend the Pennsylvania School of Technology in Williamsport to pursue an eventual career as a surveyor - likes every sport in which he participates equally.
"Whatever is in season is my favorite,'' he said.
Tayler, a two-time honorable mention all-state selection in football, likes that sport best. He plans to play football on the college level at Shippensburg University, where he will major in criminal justice.
"I like hitting people,'' said Tayler, a 190-pounder. "I like playing linebacker as well as I like playing tight end. I'd rather play defense, but Shippensburg has told me that I'd be playing wideout/tight end there.''
Both Brad and Stacy Pressel were three-sport participants during their scholastic days at Northern Bedford. Brad played football, basketball and baseball, while Stacy - whose maiden name is Decker - participated in basketball, softball and volleyball.
"I think my parents have had a lot to do with our [his and Tayler's] athletic success,'' Zach said. "They've both supported us very well in our athletic careers, and they were both pretty athletic themselves.''
Brad Pressel said that sports have been a labor of love for his twin sons.
"They both love sports, and they both love the same sports,'' he said. "They're both wonderful kids, and they both work hard at what they do.''
Northern Bedford boys basketball coach Barry Crawford will second that notion.
"They're both pretty competitive boys who both have a strong work ethic,'' Crawford said of Zach, who is a lefthanded shooter, and Tayler, who is a righthanded shooter. "They both go after it pretty hard in practices as well as in the games. At the same time, they encourage each other a lot, and they feed off each other. They're extremely coachable, and they get along well with the other kids on the team.''
That special mix of fire and friendliness seems to serve the best athletes in a leadership role.
"They're both pretty easy-going, but I think the way they may approach some situations may be different,'' Stacy said.
Zach admits, "I think I might be more easily-angered than Tayler. I think Tayler is really laid-back.''
Batzel has somewhat of an alternate viewpoint.
"I see Tayler as being a little more serious,'' Batzel said. "Zach has a little bit more of a dry sense of humor.''
Brad Pressel agrees.
"They're both pretty laid-back, but Zachary is more of a happy-go-lucky type of person,'' Brad said. "Tayler has a more serious side to him. I find it unusual for kids who are as competitive as they are athletically to still be as easy-going as they are.''
The twins have always gotten along wonderfully at home.
"They get along together very well,'' Brad said. "They're not just brothers, they're best friends.''
Tayler put another type of spin on that.
"It's been a lot of fun growing up and playing sports with my brother,'' he said. "It definitely wouldn't have been the same without him.''

Grants totaling $580,219 have been awarded to organizations for an initiative to prevent falls by people age 65 and older, the president of the Health Foundation for Western & Central New York announced today.
"Falls can have a devastating physical and financial impact on older adults and can often be a trigger of decline that ultimately leads to an inability to remain in one's own home or even death," said foundation president Ann F. Monroe. "The good news, though, is that many falls are completely preventable."
Under the Step Up to Stop Falls Collaborative, groups in seven counties are working on, among other things, projects focused on changing the behaviors and habits of seniors at risk for falls.
Erie County grant recipients are: Brothers of Mercy; Buffalo Rehab Group Physical Therapy; Erie County Department of Senior Services; McAuley Seton Home Care; the Occupational Therapy Department at the University at Buffalo; and Visiting Nurse Association of Western New York.
Community-based coalitions receiving funding include: Allegany/Western Steuben Rural Health Network; Health Community Alliance, Cattaraugus County; GLOW-YMCA and Genesee County Office of the Aging, Genesee County; and DeGraff Hospital - Kaleida Health, Niagara County.

I've seen a ton of alien invasion movies over the years.
I never paid much attention but from movies like Signs, War of the Worlds, and even the Spielberg-esque Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T., one common theme stands out.
The aliens are all naked.
Where are their clothes?
How can they survive the quantum physics of space travel buck-naked? And what about the deep cold vacuum of space? I would want a pair of Fruit of the Looms along before I froze my asteroids off.
When humans venture into space we're covered in fabric from the tops of our heads to the bottoms of our feet. We don't eat naked. We don't sleep naked. We don't even bathe naked in space. We surely don't go to the bathroom naked. They have tubes and Baggies to handle all that stuff.
So how does E.T. do it?
If I were off to conquer another world I'd at least wear a pair of socks.
None of these outer space guys are wearing any clothes.
Though they say no one can hear you scream in space, I imagine they might if we all ran around in our birthday suits.
In Signs, the aliens were all green and could change color like chameleons. While such a talent would avoid the fashion faux pas of stepping out in stripes and plaids, it again fails to consider possible comfort and protection of the alien horde from the elements.
In War of the Worlds the aliens all died from the germ of the common cold. Wouldn't it make sense if you had the technology to transport aliens from the mother ship in space to the monstrous spider transporters underground you would at least remember to pack the NyQuil?
While E.T. lacked an adequate pair of legs, Spielberg could have at least provided the little guy with a flannel shirt.
In Close Encounters it was the same thing – no clothes. Their space ship was the size of Texas but the Invasion Committee didn't think it was necessary to include wardrobe on the Take Over Earth checklist.
I've seen almost every alien invasion movie ever made, and more than my share of lousy TV series.
When Star Trek introduced aliens the only ones not to have on outerwear were the Tribbles but they had lots of fur. Even Yoda wore GI Joe clothes.
But when it comes time for what they call your realistic (believable) alien encounter on Earth movie, the aliens aren't wearing clothes. It's no wonder they lose in the end.
I looked down the 30-must see alien movies list and except for the movies made in the 1950s none of them wore clothes.
The 1950s were so uptight, even Lassie wore clothes.
Of course, it's the one movie where you wish the aliens weren't wearing any clothes that they finally throw on a shirt and pair of pants. I'm talking Men in Black 2 where Lara Flynn Boyle played the evil alien invader underlord. She wore clothes all right – a leather bustier, fishnets and stilettos.
E.T. they let run naked, but her they dress her up in clothes. Nice clothes, but clothes all the same.
Dang it anyway.

Meet Apple's New CEO, Tim Cook

Aug 29
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Tim Cook helped transform Apple from a has-been to the world's second most valuable company. Now the all-star executive has punched his ticket to become the company's next CEO.
(Source: Monica M. Davey/EPA/Corbis)
Tim Cook, showing off a Macbook Air at a 2010 press event is a reserved figure, but has helped Apple become a leader in profit margins. He has negotiated industry leading long term contracts with top components suppliers.
(Source: Getty Images)
Mr. Cook must now lead the company into the future as CEO -- because this time, it sounds like Mr. Jobs' resignation is permanent.
Mr. Cook, much like Steve Jobs, is a tireless workaholic with a thirst for excellence
With the shock of the news that
Apple, Inc.'s (
long time CEO and company co-founder, Steven P. Jobs, was
abruptly resigning from his current position
, attention has turned to his anointed successor, Timothy "Tim" D. Cook.
I. Early History
Mr. Cook, age 50, was born in Robertsdale, Alabama to a shipyard worker. As a young man he earned a bachelor of science degree from Auburn University in industrial engineering in 1982. Two years later he became International Business Machines Corp.'s (
) director of North American Fulfillment.
As he honed his supplies and procurement skills, he also solidified his business expertise, obtaining a master in business administration from Duke University in 1988. In 1994 he left IBM to become chief operating officer at Intelligent Electronics,
a value-plus computer
reseller with close ties to Apple.
A misdiagnosis with multiple sclerosis in 1996 helped Mr. Cook "see the world in a different way", so while he spent much time in the office, he also took care of his health being a "fitness nut in the gym by 5 AM." He would soon be in for another shock as forces outside his control
conspired to fracture
the IE's multi-billion dollar empire in 1997.
After a brief six month stint at Compaq, Mr Cook was reportedly personally hunted down by Steve Jobs and wooed into returning to Apple, a year after Mr. Jobs returned to the company as CEO.
II. Rise at Apple
A part of the new look Apple, Mr. Cook served as Worldwide Operations Senior Vice President. In the position he helped to turn around the struggling veteran, spearheading efforts to phase out Apple's manufacturing capacity.
About a decade ago he also helped procure contracts with flash memory manufacturers, which helped make Apple Inc.'s iPod series remain the best-selling MP3 player on the market, a success that gave Apple the capital it needed to launch other best-selling platforms like the iPhone and iPad.
Steve Jobs always respected Mr. Cook, seeing in him many of his own traits -- including a tireless devotion to the company and
refusal to accept the status quo
. He reportedly survived the hectic life of an Apple executive on "an endless series of energy bars" and took pride in "being first into the office and the last one out".
Speaking of out, Mr. Cook's sexuality was long the subject of speculation as he'd never been married and close confidants reportedly said he was gay. Mr. Cook has never officially acknowledged these rumors, despite
that Apple's management would be supportive of him, should he choose to acknowledge his sexual orientation publicly. If he is indeed gay, Mr. Cook is more like brilliant reserved gay computer scientist Alan Turing, than the colorful MTV characters today's public knows the orientation by.
In 2004 Mr. Cook was selected out of several elite executives to take over as chief executive officer for two months, while Mr. Jobs underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer. The period passed without any major issues, and soon Mr. Jobs was back at the helm.
In 2007 Mr. Cook was appointed to COO of Apple. Then in 2009 he was yet again
plugged to be CEO
for several months as Mr. Jobs took a medical leave to receive a liver transplant due to complications from his battle with cancer.
III. The Future
A recovered Mr. Jobs was back on the job as CEO, but it proved short-lived. The wording of Mr. Jobs' recent letter indicated that this may not be another temporary assignment -- Mr. Cook has been designated as Mr. Jobs' successor.
Six years the elder, Mr. Jobs writes, "As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple."
Now it's up to Mr. Cook to decide where to take the company, which is currently the
second most valuable company in the world
in terms of market capitalization and is number #1 in the tablet market, #3 in the U.S. PC market, #2 in the smart phone OS maker, #1 in the digital media market, and #1 in the
dwindling MP3 player market
, as well.
Mr. Cook has his work cut out for him -- particularly in transforming himself into more of a public figure. While Steve Jobs has relished the limelight and served as ringmaster at many a flash product launch, Mr. Cook is more reserved. Business should be a no brainer for Mr. Cook, but proclaiming the "magic" of Apple's wares? That might take some effort.

RE: Jobs greatest creation was Apple itself.
I am sure its broad strategy and product development pipeline is laid out
Find someone who actually innovates, copy them, then sue them out of existence. Yep, it is laid out quite well.
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

In the rare moments of quiet I have found myself wondering how exactly I got here.
I look around.
I have four kids.
I am almost thirty two years old. I'm, like, a grown up. When did this happen?
I've done things, made decisions to get myself to this very moment in time.
I've had faith that moved mountains, I've fallen on my knees, on my face, down big black holes. Sometimes I thought I'd never get up.
But always, somewhere deep, deep down I knew I was going to win.
This photo has special meaning for me, during a time that there was so much unknown ahead. We never let it get the best of us- the darkness, the epilepsy, the heartache, the loss, the being beaten to the ground- whatever you want to call it.
We got up.
By the grace and mercy and power and might and strength and love of God, a very good God, we made it.
The hard times are never really over. But we're still winning.
blink blink
We've already won.

Everyone has mostly listened to Marilyn Manson's songs most of the time and people still don't like him. But for me, I do like him. He's a Goth-rocker that may have broken a few rules from the law that often. Remember, he's been broken hearted three times already. His songs represent pain just like in Dir en Grey's lyrics. The clothes Mr.Manson wears are the coolest and sometimes he gets a bad reputation. You must understand that he's been through so much since last year in 2007 when his wife, Dit von Tease, filed for a divorce. Mr. Manson almost tried to commit suicide but couldn't. He prbably knew that suicide is not the right answer and it can't solve your problems. He now is currentle dating actress Evan Rachel Woods. The age difference may be wrong, but I think they make a cute couple. ^__^
some ppl think that he is to blame for the colinbin insendent b/c of the type of music he sings but to some ppl he is there hero some one to look up to well to me he is a good guy...and thats my option bout his "For The Pain And The Sorrow Caused By My Mistakes Won't Repent To A Mortal Whom Is All To Blame"
I had a chance to meet and talk with the good Reverend Manson a while back.( long while back, maybe 94 or 95 when he was first getting big) He is an incredibly intelligent individual. He had said that he wanted to make this type of music to " shock people awake and to force them to think about the drudgery they call normal life." I personally like him very much. 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
Well i actually love him, he was one of my idols for a long time but i fell out of it. Anyway i think he is a good guy, his music and videos may be repulsive some times but i enjoy it. The funny thing is almost every time i watch a Diru video every one says that they are just like M.M and it kind of bothers me, i just think they are way too different to be compared to each other. Well, great post i totally agree!
I'm glad you agree with me on him. Thanks guys!!
Mr.Manson's girlfriend, Evan, dumped him because he refused to let her brothe named Ira live with them. It's so sad. TT____TT
Hes one bad *ss dude."If you can fool your friends,you can fool your enemies".
What are your favorite marilyn manson songs?Alll of them are good.
I am not sure if you heard about the boy in South Africa who slayed a fellow pupil with a samurai sword, whilst adorned with a Slipknot mask, but when Manson was questionned about what he would have said to the child, his comment was as follows: "I would have listened. Nobody else did". Personally, I think that there has to be some serious wisdom behind that statement.
and if people would listen to him tey would realize he is a good guy.
Marilyn Manson's new album will be called, "Devour". Or maybe that's what the song is called?
naw just kidding he has problems just like everyone else his are just out in the open. even though i dont listen to his music that his way of dealing with stress.
that was funny when he was on family guy.
that has a few good songs lol
His seventh new album comes out in may 26th, 2009!!!"I love anime and manga! Also J-Rock!"
"some things are better left unknown"
"some things are better left unknown"
hi every body im new! ^_^
join my buddylist"I love anime and manga! Also J-Rock!"
Most ppl say i'm off my rocker so who cares the dude has awesome songs. Killer's high
yeah i think hes been mised juged and also his brother getting put on trial because they thought his songs made kids kill eachother was like what the heck they choose for themselves a singer through a radio isnt gonna do anything. And i love the episode of family guy that stood up for him it was great.<3~LAMOUR~<3
and I think he is cool
he's a good guy I met him once we didn't talk but he is sincier and calm all the time but is eyes creep me out he looks like a huskyZombaukto Clan is cool Join
he is a normal person like everyone else, my dad met him and said that he was a regular guy not some gay freaky Antichrist like a lot of people believe him to be. "I WANT YOU TO THROW ME AWAY!!!"

Can you define these popular missing words?
A Jove is a word derived from the Dutch. It is meant for women and girls that pretend to be good, wholesome girls. But in lots of circumstances they portray Jove like tendencies, these girls act like Joves when they drink too much, do drugs or generally act like very low class non lady like women. Not every girl is a Jove, and not every Jove is doomed to be a Jove for the rest of her life. Being a Jove is not completely the fault of the Jove, society and television has desensitizes girls today to where they may be acting like Joves without even noticing.

There's an upside to Sean Lowe's elimination on Tuesday from Dancing with the Stars.
The former Bachelor star, 29, can finally give undivided attention to his fiancée, Catherine Giudici, who supported him all season as he competed for the mirrorball trophy with Peta Murgatroyd.
"I've gone from one show to the next for the past 12 or 14 months," Lowe told PEOPLE backstage after being sent home. "It's nice now. I'll have a little bit of a break and I can take a deep breath. [Catherine and I will] definitely take a vacation and relax. I'm definitely going to spend a lot of quality time with her because dancing consumed my life for the past few months, so it'll be nice to play with my dogs – the simple things."
Although Lowe told reporters that performing such poor routines on Monday will "always eat away at me," he does say, "Overall I'm proud of myself, and [Peta] put in so much hard work and effort into making me somewhat of a good dancer. I'm walking away happy. We had such an incredible friendship and I'm just going to miss spending time with her every day – not that I won't see her in the future."
Echoes Murgatroyd: "We had so much fun during this competition. We had a great friendship and we can look back on these memories forever."
Now out of the contest, Lowe will be cheering on someone else.
"I love everyone," he said. "That's one of the cool things about doing the show. I didn't know I'd make such good friends with all the cast members. I think it's safe to say Ingo [Rademacher]'s the long shot, so I'd like to see Ingo go as far as he can. It'll be interesting to see how he does next week."

MARTINSBURG -After spending most of his life at Patterson's Drug Store, owner and pharmacist George Karos has dealt with lots of new laws and regulations.
Some have been beneficial; others not so much, he said with a chuckle.
But Karos, the mayor of Martinsburg, has yet to form an opinion on the new federal Affordable Care Act and isn't sure how it may impact privately owned, community pharmacies like his.
Article Photos
Patterson's Pharmacy owner George Karos (background) and pharmacist Jay Effland stay plenty busy - a fact that Karos attributes to loyal customers who appreciate personal service and extras such as free deliveries of their prescriptions. For now, Karos doesn't know what to expect from the new Affordable Care Act or what it will mean to community pharmacies like his.
Instead, he's taking a "kind of wait-and-see" approach.
"The way I look at it, we still don't know if Obamacare is a fantasy or if it is something that's going to be beneficial to everyone, because no one really knows," Karos said.
"And in a way, the lack of information about how it will impact pharmacies is kind of disturbing. So what else can we do but wait and see what happens," he said.
That attitude doesn't surprise John Norton, director of public relations for the National Community Pharmacists Association, who said many other pharmacists and pharmacy owners feel the same as Karos.
"Many of our members feel the same because you can't actually know what to expect from this law until it's actually up and running and you can see what kind of reimbursement you will get," Norton said in a telephone interview from his office in Alexandria, Va.
"For example, in 2006, when they started the Medicaid Part D plan, we had some concerns with it, but when it came there were things we'd never even contemplated. Prior to that pharmacies were reimbursed every 10 to 14 days, but under Medicaid Part D it became every six weeks to two or three months, which created terrible cash-flow problems. But that was nothing we could have known until the law went into effect," he said.
Although not expressly addressed under the ACA, Norton said he understands pharmacists' ongoing concerns about the erosion of local markets due to the home delivery of medications and prescriptions.
"I understand this concern about the greater use of mail order, but there's nothing currently in the law that states or pushes for more mail order pharmacy usage," he said.
Despite plenty of drug purchasing options, privately owned pharmacies are holding their own, Norton said.
Nationally, there are approximately 23,000 independent community pharmacies and they represent about 40 percent of the marketplace, he said.
West Virginia has 212 independent community pharmacies, 184 chain pharmacies such as CVS, 54 supermarket pharmacies and 65 mass merchant pharmacies such as Walmart, Norton said.
The good news is that the number of independent community pharmacies has remained fairly consistent for the past six or seven years, he said.
"Basically, we've stabilized and adapted to the marketplace without having continued erosion," Norton said.
Reed's Pharmacy owner Kenneth "Ken" Reed, who has seven stores in four states (West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and Ohio), said he is already concerned about the ACA and what may happen to family-owned pharmacies.
Reed is a Republican candidate for Congress in West Virginia's Second District.
He and his wife, Tally, opened the first Reed's Pharmacy in late 1998 in Berkeley Springs.
"We've grown in the past 15 years because we've done what you are supposed to do and we've done it correctly. But I am really afraid the ACA will be devastating to independent pharmacies, because there has already been a push in the last three to five years to drive them out - and much of that has to do with the government," Reed said.
"Mandatory mail-order, which a lot of Medicaid Part D plans have, has been absolutely devastating to the small pharmacies and I believe the ACA will very likely complete the process," he said, adding that many patients would prefer to remain with their local pharmacy but instead must receive their prescriptions by mail.
Not only is that frustrating for individuals, but it is also costly to local pharmacies because they lose valued customers, Reed said.
Because many privately owned pharmacies tend to be in smaller communities, that's where people turn when their medicine isn't delivered soon enough or they have questions about their prescriptions, he said.
Reed said he already loses about 2,000 prescriptions annually and fears that number could rise dramatically - depending on what happens with the ACA.
"That's a huge amount and it is already causing a lot of problems in the pharmacy world, mainly because these customers live here - next to me - so they come to me to help when there is an issue, even though they are using someone else's service," he said.
"The reality is that we can't continue to do that because we're basically making ourselves go extinct by being nice. But then again, you can't turn down your neighbor's grandma," Reed said.

A defensive stand in the closing minutes preserved Kewanee's sixth straight win Friday night.
An interception by Jared Nimrick at the Kewanee goal line sealed a 32-26 road win over Sherrard.
There were plenty of offensive fireworks in the first half of the Three Rivers Conference South Division contest.
The Tigers methodically marched 45 yards in 11 plays — 10 of those runs — to jump on top 7-0 on a 4-yard run by Jake Kissner.
The Boilers answered quickly as Cody Goforth took the ensuing kickoff 70 yards to knot the score 7-7.
On Sherrard's next play from scrimmage, Dwight Swartz scampered 68 yards to put the hosts back on top 13-7.
Kewanee regained the lead 14-13 as David Washburn hit Nimrick with a 24-yard TD pass on a fourth-and-1 play.
The Boilers went to the air again for their next score, with Alan Vervynck hauling in a pass bobbled by a Sherrard defensive back and going 43 yards to extend the lead to 20-13 early in the second quarter.
Kewanee pushed the lead to 26-13 at the half on a 15-yard run by Ryan Hicks.
Sherrard trimmed the deficit to 26-19 midway through the third quarter on a 22-yard TD reception by Kissner.
The Washburn-to-Nimrick connection struck again for the Boilers, this time from 17 yards out to make it a two-score game again 32-19.
The Tigers hung around, pulling within 32-26 with just under four minutes to play.
Riveters blank Sherrard — Kewanee's sophomore squad picked up its third win with a 27-0 shutout of Sherrard.
Nick Sheets tossed touchdown passes of 24 yards to Noah Jonmarker and 18 yards to Quentin VanDeSampel, and also scored on a 1-yard run.
DeAndre Reynolds scored on a 7-yard run in the game's closing seconds.
The Riveters are 3-4 on the season, while Sherrard slips to 1-6.

"I Always Felt Different"
February 8, 2008
A new report in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing shifts discussion about attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from the medical experts to the people most directly affected—the kids.
"I Have Always Felt Different" is summarized in Tara Parker-Pope's health blog "Well" in The New York Times.
Based on interviews with 16 college students who were diagnosed with ADHD as children, the report describes the problems the students faced ranging from schoolwork to maintaining friendships- but in their own words.
Assistant professors Robin Bartlett and Mona M. Shattell of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro interviewed the students in hopes of presenting a report that can discuss coping methods directly from the mouths of the children who have experienced it.

Political Standing for Jan. 18, 2013
Saturday, 7:15 a.m., Political Scoop:My guest this week is Andrew Hemingway. We talk about his run for state Republican chair.
Sunday, 10 a.m., CloseUP: Host Josh McElveen sits down with Hemingway's main opponent, Jennifer Horn. Then state Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, and state Sen. Chuck Morse, R-Salem, discuss whether or not the state's gas tax should be increased.
For Those Keeping Track
WGIR's Paul Wescott, in his last week in the state, asked Ovide Lamontagne whether he wants to run for office again. "Absolutely I do. Whether or not I do it we'll see."
The special election for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District is also about New Hampshire in a way. Manchester's Mike Biundo and his firm RightON Strategies helping one candidate. Andrew Boucher, a former NH GOP Executive Director is one of the lead consultants on another race. (No, neither have Sanford.)
In Case You Missed It
The romance that began in New Hampshire politics went to about:blank.
Explain This
So you might have heard that Vice President Joe Biden has invited some New Hampshire folks over to his place for a pre-inaugural/pre-2016 NH Primary get together this weekend. It's logical enough. But why would he not invite New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley or DNC Member Kathy Sullivan? (And rumor has it he didn't invite House Speaker Terie Norelli.) Is Biden getting really bad local advice or is he just assuming that Hillary Clinton is running and the trio would just back her anyway?
Last week I asked: Who was the keynote speaker at the 1989 state Democratic Party's 100 Club dinner?
Christopher Crawford was the first to correctly answer. It was the now retiring U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller.
Here is our question for this week: Late last week baseball writers voted not to elect anyone into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Can you name at least two Hall of Famers who PLAYED for New Hampshire professional teams?"
Be the first to give the answer in an email (jpindell [at] hearst [dot] com), and I'll recognize you next week.
Questions For The Weekend
Why isn't Maggie Hassan more involved in the Manchester mayor's race.
The race for NHGOP chair remains wide open, will anything next week tip the scales?
Suppose there is Republican swing back in 2014 and Republicans take back majority control of the New Hampshire House. Will Gene Chandler or Bill O'Brien be speaker?
How many other "character" letters has Chris Sununu written?
If Gov. Hassan's budget includes expanded gambling, but not an increased gas tax is that a sign of Sen. Chuck Morse's influence?
Just asking: who is the biggest policy wonk in the House this session?
Why are Republicans punishing individual Republicans for endorsing Democrats when the entire Concord Republican City committee had Democratic Mayor Jim Bouley as their keynote speaker last night?
Like Manti Te'o, who in New Hampshire politics also has fake, online friends?
Who knew that the Manchester Republicans account was so popular it was worth hacking into?
Who will get more votes at the NHGOP annual meeting next weekend: Andy Martin or Frank Emiro?
If a proposed bill to bring back straight ticket ballots were passed how many members of the legislature would have a harder time winning re-election
Is it possible that someone is already set to announce a Congressional bid the first week of February?
Wait a minute, is Carol Shea-Porter going to go a month without being caught in a mini-controversy of some kind? (Now that's a start.)
Does any Republican doubt for a second the Fran Wendelboe vs Jeff Newman race for NHGOP assistant secretary has better back stories than we are seeing in the chairman's race?
Exactly a month ago today Andrew Hemingway told the Union Leader's John DiStaso that he "would check into" the reasons why his political action committee didn't file reports during the last five required periods. This week he filed all tardy reports. Doesn't it seem odd that Patty Humphrey would give a random amount of $15,644, especially since it was around the time Politico did their scam pac story?
Ray Buckley:It's not that the state Democratic Party chair learned this week that he officially won't have a challenger for re-election, but the larger question remains about what the argument even would be to challenge him at this point.
Patrick ArnoldHe could be in for a rough 2013, but for this week give him his due. Instead of just talking about running for a bigger job, he actually went for it and he is aggressively trying to get a head start. A lot of people in this business are all talk.
Maggie Hassan:With Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick proposing $2 billion in new taxes, "Taxachusetts" is back on the map. Anything Hassan does will look reasonable in comparison, especially when she came right out and threatened a veto of the beer tax.
Chuck Morse:His 'MOOSE' scholarship proposal to put funds directly into the hands of students and families instead of USNH bureaucrats – in the face of USNH's much publicized maneuvering - is as smart politically as it is policy-wise.DOWN
Joe Kelly Levassuer:How do you know when you aren't in a good spot politically? Maybe when a police officer who was recently shot shows up during a televised Aldermanic meeting and suggests you need to resign over what he felt to be disrespectful comments. And then when you want to defend yourself, the mayor of your own party, just lets you hang out to dry.
Beer tax:This idea was just not going to happen this message.
Annie Kuster:President Obama's call for aggressive gun control legislation is probably something she believes in, but an assault weapons ban already ended on Democrat in her district.
Chris Sununu:It's never a good week when multiple newspapers have stories that lead with "Executive Councilor denies trying to influence judge", and the facts indicate that there is at least a technical violation of the statute. This will undoubtedly be used against him – think mail pieces - in future races..

County Chambers of Commerce taking different approach
March 25, 2013
LISBON — The newly-restructured Columbiana County Chambers of Commerce gathered last week for its second monthly meeting of the year....
"The focus this year will be growing the economic competitiveness of Northeast Ohio." Uh huh, sure and I bet you actually believe people are going to buy this rhetoric.
This year? Where in the hello has it been for the last 20 years? Tucked safely away with the personal agendas in business guaranteeing it wouldn't happen? What business owner, specifically, here in Salem, is going to fight to see another business with a similar or same business moved in to compete with them? NOBODY
People are not going to fall for this B.S. anymore. SOD has pretty much locked up that competitive edge with that crap they sold Salem and pulled off by getting the tax payers to fund their guarantee.
Yes Mr. Nestic, people are starting to question it. Too bad, to sad.
