Herring is a great fish. Delicious, nutritious, tasty - it's the bones that are the problem! But well worth getting. I believe it is one of the best sources of omega 3?
I bought a couple fresh, wild sardines from the store. About half pound total. I'm almost positive they are herring. Anyways, I'd never had it before. I'm in heaven! This fish is awesome. I could see myself eating a lot of this in the future...
Also, I don't really know how to cook it. I just threw it in the pan, added water, and turned it on. Please feel free to offer suggestions on preparing it. Just keep in mind that pans/pots are all I have.

Oooh, herring is good! I love marinated herring. Topped with curry+egg salad, it's just heaven!
It's a little time consuming to make. I had Google translate the process, so I'm not sure it all makes 100% sense, but here goes:

I plan on trying to make them from scratch, some day, to avoid all the preservatives and sugars in the industrial made ones.

Don't! I'll be leaving my work early and sneaking off to the fishmongers if I think about herring any more! And herring roe (milts) are also delicious....
The Dutch way is my favorite way of eating it: marinated fish & onion straight into the mouth, hehe!
Soused herring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I eat 1 or 2 of this fishes at least once a week and cannot get enough of them!
(I guess similar to the Danish way?!)
Oh yeah. Herring fillets, salt and pepper, skin side down on a hot pan until almost cooked through, flip for 10 seconds. Lemon juice. Nosh.

I'll have to add homemade marinated herring to my list of foods-to-try list
Smoked herring from (especially famous on Bornholm, a tiiiiny Danish island) are really great too, but I guess not so easy to make yourself...
My mom was marinating herring and makerel when I was growing up, I used to love it; it actually rarely got to the "properly marinated" point, I was eating it almost raw haha. I am not sure how she was doing it though, if I remember I will ask (I don't think it was very complicated, I remember salt, vinegar and onions, and officially they should stay in the marinade for at least 2 days but I was most of the time starting to eat them after half a day ).
However, since in NL, I just buy it directly soused, other people did it for me and it is delicious so I never have to think about the recipe.
Good luck if you try

No one at Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 109 knew they were classified as tax deadbeats until reading the legal notice on their door.
The notice, which showed up last month, said the chapter headquarters at 235 W. Franklin St. in Jackson would be forfeited to the government.
"That was the first we knew we owed any taxes," said chapter President Don Godek.
More surprises were in store.
The Vietnam Veterans own a modest brick building to hold 25 to 30 members who turn out for monthly meetings. As a charity group, they pay no regular property tax.
Charity status does not exempt them from special tax assessments that finance city projects.
In 2002, the chapter was assessed $2,500 for repaving, curb and sidewalk work. Payments were spread over 10 years, with interest.
The veterans paid in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008, city records show. They paid $250 extra this year to jump ahead on payments.
By some oversight, they did not pay in 2006. Either they never received a 2006 bill or it was lost and forgotten.
Several notices of delinquent taxes were mailed, according to the county treasurer. But they were sent to an old address and never received.
Without bogging down in finger-pointing, it is fair to say the veterans and the county treasurer disagree on who is ultimately responsible for these communication failures.
"I don't think they were trying to cheat, but there are a lot of people in the same position," Treasurer Janet Rochefort said.
By the time trouble was discovered, the veterans were startled to learn their $355 tax grew to $819.98, thanks to fees and interest set by state law. It will jump to $885.53 on Dec. 1.
Loan sharks might envy a return like that over two years.
Godek asked for penalties to be waived but had no luck. He could not belatedly apply the extra $250 paid this year to the 2006 bill.
"It's not like we're trying to scam out of paying the tax," Godek said. "But $800 is just about our budget for a whole year."
"It's a lot of money for them, I know, but I cannot pick and choose who will pay penalties," Rochefort said. "It puts this office in a terrible position when you pick and choose."
The veterans now must find a way to pay by Nov. 30 to keep their building and stop a bad situation from growing worse, Godek said. "We have no choice."
Fair or not, being classified as a tax deadbeat leaves no good options.

Which team is your World Series favorite?
Opening Day -- well, Opening Night, really, and we technically already had one of those in Japan, but who's counting? -- is finally here, as the Cardinals will take on the Marlins tonight in the first stateside regular-season MLB game. It's bound to be an exciting season with so many players having changed teams, but has the power structure been altered significantly?
Vote: Pick each division and pennant, and the winner of the World Series
Rank: Baseball's best teams? | Top players in the game?
World Series repeat?
The Cardinals prevailed over the Rangers in the 2011 World Series, but St. Louis lost its biggest gun this past offseason ...
Best player?
... which is a pretty big loss, considering he might be one of the best players of all time.
Odd one out?
The Red Sox missed the playoffs last season after an epic September collapse. Will they be on the outside looking in once again?
AL's best?
Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols were probably the two biggest additions to teams in the American League, meaning the balance of power could shift.
NL's best?
Likewise, the addition of Jose Reyes to the Marlins could give the team a huge upgrade -- offensively with new third baseman Hanley Ramirez, and defensively at shortstop.

Smarr to leave Rice as college tennis' winningest coach by Joseph Duarte, Houston Chronicle, 1/20/2012 (PDF)
The winningest coach in college men's tennis, Ron Smarr brought his stellar career to a close at the conclusion of the 2012 campaign.
Smarr, who was inducted into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame in January, brings a career record of 855-335 (.718) into his 42nd season as a head coach, the past 14 as the head coach of the Owls. He passed Furman's Paul Scarpa with his final two wins of the 2011 season to take over the top spot in career college coaching victories and looks to add to that total in his final season on South Main.
Despite some nagging injuries that left his lineup in question throughout the season, Smarr led the Owls to a ninth consecutive NCAA tournament bid (10th overall) in 2011 in addition to posing a 17-10 dual record that vaulted him into the career wins lead. That effort improved his 14-year mark with the Owls to 241-136 mark in 14 seasons at Rice.
In 2010, Smarr saw his Owls overcome a murderous regular season schedule and end Tulsa's four-year run as C-USA Champions. The Owls posted a 14-9 regular season mark, including wins in eight of their last 10 matches to earn their eighth straight NCAA berth and the ninth in Smarr's 14 years on South Main. He was honored by his peers, who selected him as the 2010 C-USA Coach of the Year.
The Owls conference crown was their first since 2004, when the Owls marched all the way to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Championships. Rice parlayed a successful fall season and blasted out of the chutes winning its first 17 matches and rocketed up to No. 5 in the ITA rankings. His squad won the program's first conference title since 1972 before knocking off South Alabama and LSU to advance to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time.
Richard and William Barker completed a perfect regular season and racked up All-America honors for the second-straight season in addition to repeating as the ITA's Doubles Team of the Year. Robert Searle joined William and garnered bids for the NCAA Singles Tournament. Searle upset the tournament's top seed in the first round.
Smarr saw a trio of his pupils receive bids to the NCAA championships in 2003 with William Barker becoming the first Owl to earn All-America honors in both singles and doubles for a single year. The Barkers advanced to the NCAA Semifinals while Searle joining his teammates at the NCAA Championships. Smarr also guided the Barker brothers to Rice's first national men's indoor doubles championship in Fall 2002.
Smarr guided Ben Harknett, Knupfer and Müller, a trio of All-Conference USA First Team performers, to another second-place C-USA finish. Harknett also advanced to the NCAA Singles Championship in 2007.
Smarr's 2006 squad enjoyed great success, posting upsets against TCU and Texas. The victory against the No. 3 Longhorns was just the third for the Owls in the series since 1980. In that match Smarr saw one of his star pupils earn his 100th career singles win as Searle rallied past seventh-ranked Travis Helgeson in the match clincher.
The Owls also made their fourth-consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament, advancing to the Round of 32. Additionally, Searle added to his Rice record as he earned a fourth-straight bid to the NCAA singles championship. Searle also teamed with Tony Haerle as the Owls had a doubles tandem at NCAA's for the fifth year in a row. Smarr made an immediate impact on the program upon his arrival at Rice, guiding the Owls to a 16-9 record in 1998 and the WAC consolaton title before the 1999 team capped the decade in style with a 17-9 mark. Shane Stone and Efe Ustundag advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals and finished the season with a Top 20 ranking.
Before Rice, Smarr was at Colorado from 1988-1997 where he guided the Buffaloes to the program's first Big Eight crown in 1993. He received Region V Coach of the Year honors in both 1993 and 1996.
Smarr began his coaching career at Wingate Junior College in his home state of North Carolina. He won back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971 en route to an averaging of 25 wins per season. In October 1998, Smarr was inducted into the school's Sports Hall of Fame.
Smarr first Division I stop was at South Carolina, where he posted a 319-86 mark and recorded 13 straight winning seasons. In his last nine years with the Gamecocks, Smarr's teams notched eight Top 25 finishes.
A two-time graduate of Appalachian State in Boone, N.C., Smarr received his bachelor's and master's degrees in 1965 and 1967. As a player, he captained the Mountaineers' team to the Top Four nationally, playing number one singles and doubles. He also lettered in basketball and wrestling during his college career and was inducted into the ASU Hall of Fame for his athletic achievements in 1997.
Ron and his wife, Becky, have three children (Taylor, Tressa and Jordan) and eight grandchildren (Taylor, Elizabeth, John, Maggie, Tate, Hanna, Annaliese and Boone).

What is the Spiritual Significance of the Feast of the Meeting of the Lord?17. February 2012 - 9:57
The events which gave rise to one of the twelve major feasts of the Lord, the feast of the Meeting, is, in the spiritual sense, multidimensional. The word "meeting" does not convey the full meaning of the Church Slavonic word, sretenie. Those who meet are usually equals. "But here," as Metropolitan Benjamin (Fedchenkov) notes, "the Slavonic word, sretenie, is more appropriate, because it speaks of the lesser going out to meet the greater; people, meeting God"[1] The events in the Jerusalem temple are of particular significance. The Divine Law-Giver Himself, as one Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature (Col. 1:15), and as the first-born of a Virgin (Mt. 1:25) is brought as a gift to God. This symbolic act is as a beginning of the service which will end on earth by a great event: The incarnate Son of God brings Himself entirely to the Father unto the redemption of mankind—who He met earlier in the person of holy righteous Simeon. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel (Lk. 2:30–32). By its thought and expression, this song of thanksgiving originates from portions of the book of the Prophet Isaiah: And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall arise to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust, and his rest shall be glorious (Is. 11:10). Jesse was the father of King David. Therefore, the root of Jesse, the Messiah-Christ whom people awaited, the Son of David (cf. Mt. 1:1), Who, as two thousand years of history has shown, would become a sign of contention. This sign divides people into the believing and the unbelieving, those who love the light, and those who love darkness. "What is this sign of contention? It is the sign of the cross, which the Church confesses as being salvific for the whole world" (St. John Chrysostom). The meeting of God and man, which first took place in the Jerusalem Temple, must become a personal event for every individual. The path of salvation must begin for each person by a meeting with Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Until this meeting takes place, one remains sitting in darkness … and the shadow of death (cf. Mt. 4:16).
The Meeting of the Lord16. February 2012 - 9:55
According to the Law of Moses, all Hebrew parents must bring their first born son on the fortieth day after birth to the Temple to be consecrated to God. It was the custom to bring a sacrifice in thanksgiving to God. The law was established in remembrance of the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt — freedom from slavery — when the first-born Hebrews were spared from death.
In fulfilment of this law, the Mother of God with Joseph brought the infant Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem and brought for the sacrifice two fledgling doves.
At this time in Jerusalem, there lived an old man by the name of Simeon. He was a righteous, pious man, and he awaited the coming of the Messiah. It was foretold to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not have died before he had seen Christ the Lord. Simeon waited for the fulfilment of the promise of God for a long time. According to tradition, he lived about 300 years. Then, one day, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he went to the Temple. When Mary with Joseph brought the infant Jesus, Simeon met the Child, took Him in his arms, and glorifying God said, "Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, O Master, according to Thy word, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples, a light of revelation for the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel."
Homily on the Meeting of the Lord15. February 2012 - 9:54
What a tender scene the Meeting of the Lord shows us! The venerable elder Simeon, holding the infant God in his hands, on either side of him are the righteous Joseph and the Most Holy Mother of God. Not far away is the Prophetess Anna, an eighty-year-old faster and woman of prayer. Their eyes are all directed toward the Savior. Their attention is absorbed by Him and they drink in spiritual sweetness from Him, which feeds their souls. You can judge for yourself how blessed was the state of these souls!
However, brethren, we are called not only to think about this blessedness, but also to taste it in reality, for all are called to have and carry the Lord in themselves, and to disappear in Him with all the powers of their spirit. When we have reached that state, then our blessedness will be no lower than that of those who participated in the Meeting of the Lord. They were blessed who saw it; we shall be blessed who have not seen, but believed. Pay attention. I will show you briefly how to achieve this. Here is what you should do.
The Sunday of the Prodigal Son14. February 2012 - 9:37
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
On this Sunday the Church tells the parable of the Father who had two sons. Like all parables, it has a symbolic meaning. Who is the Father and who are the two sons?
The Father represents God the Father, the Father of all mankind.
The elder son represents the Jewish people. The elder son represents the Jews, for alone of all people the Jewish people had kept the memory of God, accurately, faithfully conserving the stories of Creation, the story of the Fall of Mankind and the prophecies of the Coming of a Saviour, the Messiah. The Jews, the elder son, had remained with the Father.
Three Guiding Lights of True Faith13. February 2012 - 10:35
As the month of January draws to a close, the Church calls us on the 30th to celebrate the Feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs: St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian and St. John Chrysostom.
In celebrating these three great teachers of the Church, the Church in its hymnody refers to them as "harps of the Spirit," "rays of light," "scented flowers of Paradise," "instruments of grace." The Gospel read at Divine Liturgy is that of the Good Shepherd (John 10:9-16). This gospel, always appointed to be read on feast days of canonized bishops, speaks to us of the God-given role of the episcopacy to watch over our souls.
In these three great shepherds of the Church, we see both a commonality and differences that can enlighten us in how we lead our lives as Christians. Honored as supreme representatives of both the Church's doctrinal and pastoral ministries, these men give us true examples of what it means to be Orthodox.
Translation of the Relics of St. John Chrysostom10. February 2012 - 11:15
Commemorated January 27/February 9
More than thirty years after John Chrysostom, Patriarch of Constantinople, reposed in the town of Comana, the Most Holy Proclus (the saint's disciple and successor as archbishop) was presiding over the annual service in honor of the great universal teacher. In his homily, delivered in the cathedral of the Imperial City, Proclus extolled the Lord's favorite, saying, "Only if another John were to appear could John fittingly be praised! When the faithful recall his labors, struggles, and discourses, their thirst is slaked, as though by a mighty river overflowing its banks. From John shine rays of God's grace in which one man clearly discerns the sun of the Godhead, another beholds the cleansing of Orthodoxy from heresy, another perceives the deceptiveness of idolatry, another distinguishes truth from error, another is confirmed in faith and virtue, and another observes gleaming heavenly crowns. Oh, hierarch whose memory is like a fragrant breeze! Oh, namesake of grace, whose deeds were truly divine! Oh, golden mouth declaring the word of God! Oh, tongue which spoke of mysteries loftier than the heavens! Oh, teacher proclaiming the gospel more loudly than thunder! Verily like unto John the Forerunner, the preacher of repentance, was this John. One was a herald, the other a trumpet. One was unshakeable, the other invincible. One was a virgin, the other a champion of purity. One baptized in the wilderness, the other lowered his nets in cities. One denounced adultery, the other reproved the avaricious. One was cast into prison, the other was exiled. One was beheaded, the other desired beheading for the truth. Many were John Chrysostom's struggles on earth, many are his crowns in heaven. He now cries out with the Apostle Paul, 'I am a sweet savour of Christ, having cleansed the whole world of the stench of error. In Ephesus I expunged the delusion of Midas, in Phrygia I rendered childless the mother of false gods, in Caesarea I did away with the houses of ill fame, in Syria I abolished the assemblies of the godless, and in Persia I sowed the seed of the word of God. Everywhere I have planted the Orthodox faith. By my teaching I have disseminated the knowledge of God throughout the earth; by my books I have spread the nets of salvation far and wide. With John the Theologian I theologized concerning the Word of the Father; with Peter I laid the foundation of an Orthodox confession; with the fishermen I cast the net of piety into the world.' O John, your life was truly sorrowful, but your death is precious, your sepulcher glorious, and your reward great!"

Ahh, you beat me to it. I was thinking the same thing.
But I want to go one step further...how to you get a good fluffy rice rather than the instant boiled junk?
I want to eat white rice as part of my carb cycling. What kind of white rice am I looking for? What should I stay away from? What is the best way to prepare it? I'm sure it's simple as heck, but I'm a rice rookie.
There is a huge difference between talking about how to do something and getting it fucking done.
Ahh, you beat me to it. I was thinking the same thing.
But I want to go one step further...how to you get a good fluffy rice rather than the instant boiled junk?
Instant rice with butter seems plenty fluffy to me :P.
Bring the rice and water to a boil, cover, and simmer. Once you see "potholes", it's time to stir and probably almost done. Covering it with a lid is essential as that allows it to steam all throughout instead of just catching heat from the bottom. Use a liberal amount of salt so it soaks into the rice while cooking and imparts flavor.
The whole concept of a macronutrient, like that of a calorie, is determining our language game in such a way that the conversation is not making sense." - Dr. Kurt Harris
More information please.... Do you want "instant rice" that doesn't stick together (easiest) or do you want "sticky" rice (harder).
Instant is well out of a box boil it and have at it. Some "non-sticky" rice like Jasmine is good also... better than instant. it is long grain.
Sticky... if you are going to do it right then get a rice cooker! Go to your local Korean resturant and ask the owner if they will give you a quick lesson.
For sticky rice get the short grain. Soak it in water for at least an hour before cooking, prefer most of the day, cover with water. you can do this in the pan that comes with the rice cooker or in the pan you will be cooking on the stove.
When ready make sure the water just covers the rice close the lid and lett it cook. The amount of water will vary depending on how long it has soaked.
If you use a pot you can soak for an hour and then place you hand(palm down) on top if the rice and have the water just cover your fingers. Cook on high until boiling then reduce to low and cover for about 30 minutes... again... time and water make all the difference. A crispy bottom is preffered by some... makes a great snack!
Bottom line... just start doing it!
That is about all I can add.
I high recommend a rice cooker!
good Luck!
Living the dream, inside a myth
I've read jasmine and sushi rice are the best types. Sushi rice is much stickier (short grain).
Rice cookers are cheap. $20 for the lid versions (good), about $40 for sealed (great). Aroma makes several good models. Check on Amazon. No need to drop $100+ for a Zojirushi.
Microwave rice - no really, check it out:
GoGo Rice White Rice Bowl
I buy a different brand at my local Korean market - when my husband went Atkins and didn't want to eat rice anymore, I found that these microwavable rice bowls were perfect for cooking for one. Yes, it's cheaper to make your own - if you are going to eat rice regularly, buy a small rice cooker - they're cheap (under $20 for a 3-cup size) and foolproof. And you can steam other stuff in it too.
I second the rice cooker. Its foolproof. I am coming back to rice as a way to get post-workout glucose into my body without added fructose, so I get to dust off the ol' rice cooker again!

Just in time for Halloween, three questions:
1. From very serious people, I'm hearing ghost stories. Have you ever seen a ghost? Would you tell us about it?
2. If you've lost loved ones, did they somehow know they were going to die and tell you goodbye?
3. Would you ever buy your dog a Halloween costume? Sounds like more and more folks are succumbing. And, how much did you spend? (Pictures are so welcome. Send them as high resolution jpgs, please.)
Have a great weekend, everybody!
Here's a P.S. and a post-debate question. Vice-President Joe Biden is 69 and Paul Ryan could be his son at 42. Which man played the age difference to the greatest advantage?

.32 S&W Long?

Have any rifles been chambered in .32 S&W Long?

The 1892 Marlin was chambered in the .32 Colt family. The Win 92 was famously chambered for the .32-20. But .32 S&W Long? That's a stumper.
Carl N. Brown
June 14, 2007, 05:54 PM
I believe that Marlin made a lever action rifle in the 1890s
with a reversable firing pin that would shoot both the
.32 S&W and .32 S&W Long centerfire and the
.32 Short and .32 Long rimfire. The bolt had to be
disassembled to change the firing pin.
Today Marlin makes their 1894CL in .32-20 Winchester.
Since they can make that, they could make a .32 H&R Mag
that would also take .32 S&W Long if there was enough
demand. .32 S&W Long can be a very accurate revolver
round, seems to be easy to reload, and adequate for
small game hunting as well. Could be a custom gunsmithing
job if one wants or needs one bad enough.
June 14, 2007, 09:29 PM
Are you sure that was for the S&W Long? I thought it was only for the .32 Colts.
Max Velocity
June 14, 2007, 10:10 PM
Cosmoline is correct. the Marlin 1892 would chamber and fire .32 Colt Long & Short centerfires, plus with a firing pin change .32 S&W Long & Short rimfires. The .32 colt cartridges use .312" heeled outside lubricated bullets as do the .32 rimfires. .32 S&W Long & Short centerfires are inside lubricated, so the case is too large to enter the chamber of the Marlin 1892 rifles.
Marlin 1892s were also made in .22 rimfire. Later were redesigned as the Model 1897 and eventually became the Model 39/39A.
Marlin did recently produce a Model 1894CB in caliber .32 H&R Magnum, but it is out of the catalog now.

If I am not mistaken (and I may very well be) the 32 colt bullet is actually a 30 caliber.
June 15, 2007, 02:23 PM
Marlin currently makes one in .32 H&R mag; presumably it will fire .32 S&W & .32 S&W Long.
June 15, 2007, 02:25 PM
Ten points there. I hadn't even thought of it.

I sit corrected on the .32 Colt approx. = .32 Rimfire, and not the
.32 S&W Long. My oops. I need to unpack my ref books.
Marlin did list a .32 H&R Mag at one time (recently too if I recall correctly),
but I could not find it in their current catalog (as of yesterday).
.32 H&R Mag seems to be popular with the cowboy action crowd
in revolvers.
June 15, 2007, 07:41 PM
Marlin has been offering a lever action in 32 H&R mag for the last couple of years. Unfortunately however they chose to make it afront loader like their 22 rifles instead of a side loader like all of their 94' models. I believe that they have ceased production of this version currently and are going to offer it as a side loader.
One gun that was offered in in 32 S&W that has not been mentioned was the Marlin model 27 pump rifle. I believe that it also had the ability to fire rimfire cartridges as well as the centerfire ones.
June 16, 2007, 12:40 AM
My Stevens Favorite was .32 rimfire, but a very good gunsmith turned it into a .32S&W Long. It is VERY quiet with .32S&W(short). It was near new before the conversion I had done in the Early 70's. It has a Marble tang sight. A great little gun, I used to harvest big frogs with .32acp in it. They never made it to the water! I shot a few dogs with it with a handload of Bullseye under a 100 grain flat hollowpoint in the Long case. The .32 has at least twice the knock down power of a .22LR Stinger, in my experience.;)

The Marlin Model 27 was introduced in 1909 and was offered in calibers 25-20 and 32-20. In 1913 the .25 Rimfire was added. 32 S&W/.32 S&W Long was never available in the Model 27.
June 16, 2007, 02:03 PM
Wow THR members are amazing! The .32's are something of a weak spot in my knowledge, this has been very informative! Thanks to all for posting.

Last week we discussed how we felt about the Colts now compared to a year ago. Though our answers varied, there was one common thread throughout: the Colts have a lot riding on the upcoming Free Agency period and NFL Entry Draft. But before those two events take place, the Colts have some important in-house business to attend to: making decisions on their own impending free agents and making decisions on "bubble" players (players whose play may not warrant their salary cap hit).
So in this week's roundtable, we pose this question to our writers: "If you were Ryan Grigson, what decisions would you make with key pending UFAs (McAfee, Brown, Bethea) and some of the more polarizing roster players (Toler, Satele)"
After the break we'll share our answers. We hope you share yours in the comments below!
Nate Dunlevy
I would re-sign the two kickers and let ever other UFA walk. Toler and Satele should go as well.
Personally, I would cut Satele and Matt Hasselbeck. Neither are worth their current cap hit. I don't want to say that they bring nothing to the team, but just because I don't want to say it doesn't make it false.
Marco Gutiérrez
Ben Gundy
Bubble players
Satele – He needs to be gone. The center-quarterback duo is vital and the longer the Colts wait to cut bait with Satele, the longer it will be before they find the right center for Luck.
Toler – So it's hard to discuss Toler without also discussing Vontae Davis, because I'm pretty sure you need starting cornerbacks and if you were to part ways with both, you'd have none. That might be bad, though some might argue the Colts had no CBs in the playoffs. To that I'd say, "touche."
As part of my plan, I'd cut Toler. He's good enough to be an average #2 or a good #3, but the Colts already have a good #2 (Darius Butler) and need someone who can take the field with more regularity than Toler.
Landry(???) – I thought this name would be a surprise, but I saw Kyle include him, so whatever. I'd rather have Bethea play SS than Landry, but I know that will never happen. Since this is "what would you do?" and not "what will they do?" I will say I'd cut Landry.
Vontae Davis – We'll tackle him first. Is he a true #1? No, I don't think so. But he will likely get paid like one this off-season. What is he? An inconsistent player who flashes the qualities of a #1 and the mistakes of a #4. That's why he'll get paid. There's a team that will convince itself that they can bring out his best qualities and remove his worst.
So what should the Colts do with him? Well, if they let him walk, they need a #1. If they let him walk and cut Toler, they need a #1 and a #2. I'm not sure you can tackle that in just free agency.
I wouldn't sign Davis to a long-term deal. I'd either let him walk or I'd franchise him and try to find his future replacement in the draft. There are a few good names in free agency this year, and I would definitely consider throwing a lot of money at one of them (I'm more of a quality over quantity guy in UFA shopping, but we'll get into more specifics in a future piece).
Pat McAfee – I would re-sign him.
Adam Vinatieri – Normally I'd say it's time to move on, But Vinny was good this past year and the Colts don't have enough draft picks to waste on kickers and punters, so I'd give him another year (or two, if that's what it took) and worry about it in a year where i didn't throw away all of my draft picks (I'm a bitter GM, apparently).
Antoine Bethea – I'd re-sign him and let go of Landry. Since that won't happen, I'd let him walk. He's not good enough to play FS anymore, and his skill set overlaps with Landry's a tad too much to have an effective duo, though, as I've alluded to, I believe Bethea is the superior player.
Donald Brown – I'd keep him, but I value running backs for their ability to gain yards, not for some random, hard-to-visualize intangibles. (Still a bitter GM)
Ahmad Bradshaw – If the Colts don't re-sign Brown, I'd like to have Bradshaw back as a cheap safety net (assuming the doctors say he's healthy enough)
Darrius Heyward-Bey – I'd shoot him into space on the next-available launching.
Mike McGlynn – He'd be strapped in as well.
Jeff Linkenbach – Every ship needs a pilot.
Cassius Vaughn – And a co-pilot.

Morristown Medical Center will present its first Pet Therapy Conference, bringing together experts to discuss the benefits of therapy animals to the field of medicine.
The event, titled, "Who Let the Dogs In?" will encourage discussion among those involved in animal-assisted therapy, while educating those who want to learn more about the field. The event will be held on Monday, Nov. 4, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Hyatt Morristown on Speedwell Ave.
As part of Atlantic Health System, Morristown Medical Center has integrated animal therapy teams into its offerings, through the organization's pet therapy program, "Healing Paws." The program has approximately 60 pet therapy teams, each made up of a hospital volunteer and his or her trained dog, that visit common areas such as waiting rooms. Patients and visitors can pet and interact with the dog in the common area. Each therapy team goes through extensive training by licensed organizations.
Visits by Atlantic Health System's animal teams are available for most patients, as well as their families and other visitors, by request at all Atlantic Health System hospitals, which also include Overlook Medical Center, Newton Medical Center and Goryeb Children's Hospital, as well as Atlantic Rehabilitation.

Arkow teaches courses in animal-assisted therapy and animal-assisted activities at Camden County College in Blackwood and Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, Pa. He has written "Pet Pals," a biweekly newspaper column on pet care, and has authored or edited 10 key reference books and innumerable articles on animal-assisted therapy, the human-animal bond, humane education, the animal abuse/human violence connection, and animal shelter management.
Arkow also has served on national boards and advisory committees of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Delta Society, the American Association of Human-Animal Bond Veterinarians, the National Animal Control Association, the National Link Coalition, and the American Humane Association. He consults with the ASPCA and the Animals and Society Institute.
The event will include lectures and panel discussions on a wide variety of topics relating to animal-assisted therapy, by experts in pet therapy as well as various areas of traditional medicine, both from Morristown Medical Center and other health care and therapy-animal organizations, including:
— How To Start a Pet Therapy Program in a Hospital; by Morristown Medical Center staff members, Denise Fochesto, manager of the hospital's MICU/SICU/HBO, Mary Beth Leaton a clinical nurse specialist in the MICU/SICU; and Peggy Grow, coordinator, Healing Paws Pet Therapy at the hospital.

Open Fuel Standard's Chances
D. Gartenstein-Ross, Truman Doctrine
Google images
At the beginning of President Obama's first term, there was reason to believe that an Open Fuel Standard (OFS) could pass within four years. It did not, and now the OFS faces a different political climate as his second term commences. In some ways, this new climate is more conducive to OFS passage, but in others it makes such a proposal a harder sell.

A menu that's tasty and consistently prepared, great service from an experienced staff, an exciting wine list and a cozy atmosphere come to mind — and Mancy's Steakhouse in Toledo delivers on them all.
A few weeks ago I visited the "Glass City" staple with my family and we all agreed that our meal was worth the two-hour trip.
We arrived hungry after a quick tour of the Toledo Museum of Art and were seated with glasses of ice water and a tray full of freshly baked bread and seeded crackers within minutes. But take note — we arrived at 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday and the place was nearly full, so you'll definitely want to make a reservation, especially if you need a larger table. Mancy's is a popular spot for birthday dinners and other celebrations, and the staff is spot on. They definitely know how to handle a dinner crowd.
Our meal began with crab-stuffed mushrooms ($7.95), fresh oysters Rockefeller ($9.95) and a cup of French onion soup ($3.75), all of which were well prepared. The meaty mushrooms were juicy and pleasantly browned on top, the spinach and hollandaise-filled oyster shells featured just the right amount of spice, and the soup was loaded with soft, salty onions, chunky croutons and a broiled cap of melted cheese.
Dinner entrees at Mancy's come with a house salad and a choice of a one-pound baked potato, hand-cut fries, hash browns, wild rice pilaf, boiled redskins or fresh vegetables. The house salad dressing, in a world generally ruled by vinaigrettes, is a surprising sweet-and-sour red French. The sides we sampled, both the baked potato and the redskins, were also examples of straightforward, no-nonsense goodness.
But the real stars here are the steaks.
The veal porterhouse ($28.95) is a 14-ounce, meaty shortloin chop rubbed with roasted garlic and served with a Béarnaise sauce that has a hint of horseradish. Even with these accompaniments, the flavor of the delicate veal shines through. Of course, we had to try Mancy's filet mignon ($24.95 for a 7-ounce portion, $30.95 a 10-ounce), billed as "the most tender steak of all." Cooked medium-rare, the texture was smooth and buttery and — thanks to what we attributed to aging and in-house butchering — the cut had a distinctive beef flavor that filet mignon typically lacks.
From Mancy's nightly seafood menu we chose mahi mahi topped with crab in a citrusy saffron sauce ($25.95). The fish was moist, and both the crab and the pleasant-but-not-overpowering sauce added fresh flavor. The dish was served with crisp fresh asparagus and creamy mashed potatoes. Both were delicious.
Fortunately, we took our time with this meal to enjoy Mancy's cozy appeal and to save some space for coffee and dessert. Ice cream lovers, myself included, delight in Mancy's Turtle Pie ($6), a mountain of praline ice cream on a chocolate cookie crust topped with candied pecans, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. The menu says it's enough for two, which is an understatement. This dessert is huge. We also tasted a bourbon bread pudding ($6) that was simple, sweet and served with a few dollops of vanilla ice cream.
Mancy's Steakhouse is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday and for dinner on Saturday. The lunch menu features smaller portions of dinner items as well as burgers, sandwiches and specialty salads. The chefs also offer lunch specials including chopped steak with mushrooms, gravy and a side dish for $5 on Wednesdays.
And considering our delightful dining experience at Mancy's, lunch for $5 is a great deal.
Mancy's Steakhouse, 953 Phillips Ave., Toledo 43612, 419/476-4154. mancys.com. Mon.–Thurs. 11 a.m.–2 p.m. and 5–9:30 p.m., Fri.–11 a.m.–2 p.m. and 5–10 p.m., Sat. 4:30 p.m.–10:30 p.m. Closed Sundays. Dinner entrees: $16.95–$42.95. Credit cards accepted, handicap accessible.

Top-ranking in the Yale and Columbia Universities' Environmental Performance Index (EPI). The universities regularly evaluate the environment, air pollution, water quality, biodiversity, management of natural resources and climate change in respect of each country. Switzerland ranked first in 2008 and second in 2010.
The Mercer International study on quality of life in cities: This analysis and evaluation of 215 cities worldwide on the basis of 39 factors (ranging from politics and the economy to the environment) put 3 Swiss cities among the top 10: Zürich 1, Geneva 3, Bern 9.
A study by Booz Allen Hamilton on sustainable tourism shows that this is widespread in Switzerland. This opinion is shared by the Global Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2008. Here, Switzerland ranked first out of the 130 countries evaluated.

Jack, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman in Jack Goes Boating, is a middle-aged man encased in baby fat and periodically immobilized by teen terrors. In this film, the actor's film directorial debut, Jack might be the spawn of Ernest Borgnine's Marty.
This modest screen adaptation of the play by Bob Glaudini is the story of the gravity-bound fledgling who may never fly, but slowly, slowly, slowly overcomes his fear of water and women. It is a sign of Hoffman's skill as a director, which may someday match his formidable acting talents, that he shows us how learning to swim buoys Jack, lifting him from a sinkhole of loneliness.

The Indians made a few roster moves involving the Kosuke Fukudome trade. The minor leaguers that were sent to Chicago are relief pitcher Carlton Smith and right fielder Abner Abreu. Smith has been in the Indians for 7 years and was unlikely to produce much at the Major League level. Through 46 innings this season, Smith has a 4.50 ERA in 34 appearances and a 1.41 WHIP. The Indians probably have about a dozen pitchers closer to the big leagues than smith was. Abreu hit .244 in 91 games so far for Kinston this season.
To make room on the 40 man roster, the Indians designated Travis Buck for assignment.

City of Monterey Response to CPRA Request - SB2 [2007] Eligible and Other Properties
Within the City of Monterey Housing Element, there is a program that states:
"Pursuant to Senate Bill 2, the City will amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow emergency shelters as a permitted use in a newly created overlay zone in the City's C-1, C-2, and/or C-3 zoning districts which are close to transit corridors and close to services. The City has adequate capacity on vacant and underutilized parcels (approximately 34 acres) within the C-1, C-2 and C-3 zoning districts, which are suitable for the
development of emergency shelters due to their proximity to public transit lines, social services, and personal services.
The City will create this overlay zone with specific development standards for emergency shelters. In addition, the City will evaluate adopting development and managerial standards that will be consistent with Government Code Section 65583(a)(4). These standards may include such items as:
· Lighting;
· On-site management;
· Maximum number of beds or
persons to be served nightly by the
· Off-street parking based on
demonstrated need; and
· Security during hours that the
emergency shelter is in operation."
Occupy Monterey had submitted a California Public Records Act request to the City to determine which properties in the City fall within the 34 acres described above, which would be clear examples of SB2 [2007] eligible properties. Other information was requested as well via the California Public Records Act request, including a list of City-owned properties, and other information. The City responded with the information desired within the time required by law (California Public Records Act).
The attached file, "Certified Housing Element Sites in Monterey per SB2 [2007]," contains information on those eligible properties. The City of Monterey has provided clarification that in fact, the information on Table 36 (pg. 91) and Table 37 (pgs. 95, 96, and 97) represents the aforementioned eligible properties. (Please also see the reference to Fort Ord lands on page 98 ~ although the Fort Ord lands are not included in the tables of eligible properties, they are also worth further exploration.)
The attached file, "Properties Owned by City of Monterey [as of 3-14-12]," describes properties that are owned by the City.
Finally, with respect to any issuance of permits for "supportive and transitional housing types" within the context of the California Public Records Act request, the City has not received any applications for this use type and so, there are no records responsive to the request component related to evidence of permits for those types.
California Senate Bill 2 (SB 2, Chapter 633, Statutes of 2007) requires the City of Monterey to allow for emergency shelter to be provided in Commercial Zones of the City, and in residential zones, without any discretionary process required subject to nothing more than a building permit process or non-discretionary approval of lighting, management, parking, and security plan for a homeless shelter. The aforementioned lands (those described as "eligible properties," above) should now be reviewed by Occupy Monterey Peninsula and evaluated so as to determine which properties may be best suited for development of a shelter with a garden component that can be developed in such a way as to support the local economy, to implement initiatives that the owner would encourage and foster. Eventually, a business plan should be developed together with an interested owner.
This California Public Records Act request was produced as a result of General Assembly request, related to the General Assembly consensus for development of a Slab City in Monterey, with sustainable components pertaining thereto, following a Records request to determine properties best suited for the endeavor.

Amarillo city commissioners heard about crime and talked about zoning at their Tuesday meeting.
Police Chief Robert Taylor presented a preview of the annual crime statistics report that started with his department getting 133,690 calls for service in 2012 — a 1 percent increase. The department averages 366 calls a day, the report said.
"It would be nice to have 366 calls a day, but we have times of activity and times of lots of activity," Taylor said.
Some of the numbers in the report include: 12,405 arrests, 5,771 traffic accidents and 29 traffic fatalities. In 2011 there were 15 traffic fatalities and 22 in 2010.
Some categories of crime were down and some up. The largest increase was for robbery, which was up 18 percent.
Taylor said the overall crime rate has been trending downward.
"Over three years, we've had about a 20 percent drop in the crime rate," Taylor said.
He credited some of the progress to "directed patrols," which involves officers on overtime with a specific mission and specific area to patrol. Some of those areas include parks, schools and concentrations of bars.
"I'm a believer of every day you put an active criminal in jail is a day they're not hurting somebody," Taylor said.
Maps in the report showed all types of crimes happened across the city, but the major hot spots were the San Jacinto neighborhood and along East Amarillo Boulevard.
In other business, commissioners gave preliminary approval for rezoning land owned by Saint Stephen's United Methodist Church.
After negotiations with the city's Planning Department, the church and city reached a compromise to allow the construction of a Children's Building and additional parking away from existing residences, said city Planning Director Kelley Shaw.
The church is located on Western Street just south of 45th Avenue. The agreement also ensures the new building and any others the church adds will have appearances consistent with the existing church.
The zoning will be for a planned development which allows the city to make stipulations controlling things such as signs, driveways and lighting.

Théophile de Viau was born in April 1590, near Clairac in the Agenois province of France. He was born into a Protestant family headed by Jacques de Viau – a lawyer who had been forced to retreat to his lands in Boussères by the French civil wars. It was Jacques who began Théophile's instruction before sending him away to complete his education. Théophile was sent to the college of Nérac at around the turn of the century, followed by Montauban, Bordeaux and Saumur. In his later years as a student – from 1609 to 1611 – Théophile was more focused on exploring the freedoms of youth than on his education which, ultimately, he failed to complete.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown has changed his position on Proposition 8 and has asked the state Supreme Court to nullify the gay marriage ban on grounds that it violates citizens' inalienable rights as guaranteed by the California Constitution.
The good news for embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich in this report is that a Chicago artist is using the governor's likeness as inspiration for his latest painting.
The troubles of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich have endangered one of the Democratic Party's safest U.S. Senate seats.

Woe to the wayward legislator or media pundit who makes a public blunder while Jon Stewart is on his watch. In this installment of "The Daily Show," we see disgraced (but not deposed) Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and other power hounds fall into Stewart's carefully laid trap of shame.
Obama's statements in the Blagojevich case have been cautious and precise. For most politicians, that would be good enough. For the man who inspired the nation with a promise of "change we can believe in," it's not.
For three years, Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been under scrutiny by federal investigators on the lookout for signs of corruption, and on Tuesday Blagojevich and his chief of staff were arrested.

As Sen. Saxby Chambliss squares off Tuesday against challenger Jim Martin in Georgia's runoff election, a certain Alaska governor has managed to work her way back into the spotlight. Stumping for Chambliss, Sarah Palin continues to draw throngs of Republicans while others wish she would simply go away.
We'll let the governor speak for herself: "If there is an open door in '12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that door." Updated
Fox News' Greta von Susteren spends a good portion of the first part of her lengthy interview with Sarah Palin asking about the clothes Palin and her family wore on the campaign trail, but the Alaska governor also addresses several other rumors and "oddities" that circulated before the election.
California Resources Agency
During the Proposition 8 campaign and amid the fallout since California voters approved the banning of same-sex marriage, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proved that, although he once was teased for grunting and mugging his way through dialogue-challenged movies, he can now mince words with the best of the political crowd.
Having returned home to Alaska, Gov. Sarah Palin said she wasn't going to comment on the negative reports that emerged about her on Wednesday from within the McCain campaign, but she opined that whoever made those claims was likely a "small ... evidently bitter type of person ... ."
On Wednesday, Fox News' Carl Cameron kicked off a round of Republican in-fighting that had snowballed considerably by Wednesday, thanks to reports from unnamed McCain campaign informants about Sarah Palin's alleged "diva"-like behavior.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger put aside his appeals to post-partisan politics on Friday in favor of taking up John McCain's party line during a campaign rally for McCain in Columbus, Ohio.
Some African-Americans in Alaska have questions, which they pose to journalist Max Blumenthal in this clip from his series of video shorts on Alaska's governor, about Sarah Palin's administration with regard to its hiring practices and activities (or lack thereof) involving Alaska's black community.
Jon Stewart found plenty of, er, material for Wednesday night's "Daily Show" episode as the Sarah Palin Wardrobegate scandal, um, unfolded.
The California governor told CNN's Campbell Brown that Sarah Palin will be ready to be president "by the time ... she's sworn in." What's that about on-the-job training?
Flickr / toprankonlinemarketing
Real Clear Politics has Barack Obama leading in Pennsylvania by an average of 11 points, so why is John McCain betting on an upset there, of all swing states? It seems that Gov. Ed Rendell is among the Democrats who are nervous: He has asked the Obama campaign to send its big guns back to the Keystone State.
Just to go out on a limb here, doesn't supporting a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage on the federal level represent a very real form of "judgment" about the people and relationships that are granted the official stamp of legitimacy and those that aren't?
This campaign season has been a boon to "Saturday Night Live," and to returning alumna Tina Fey in particular, who was doing quite well flying solo before the Sarah Palin phenomenon brought her back to her former comedic stomping ground. Here, she talks about adopting Palin's accent—or "Alaskan windsong," as she affectionately puts it—with David Letterman.

Todd Palin seated behind a White House desk and shaping national policy could be one of the most dangerous aspects of a potential Sarah Palin presidency.
How well do we really know Sarah Palin? This MSNBC clip gives more details about the report, released Friday by a bipartisan committee in Alaska, that determined Governor Palin had dismissed her public safety commissioner partly because of a personal family matter.

Special prosecutor Steven Branchflower has investigated Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan—who claimed he was fired because he refused to fire Palin's brother-in-law, state Trooper Mike Wooten—and the news isn't good for the Republican vice presidential nominee. Update: Palin denies wrongdoing
After praising Sarah Palin for her political talent, conservative political columnist and commentator David Brooks proceeded to declare that she isn't ready to be vice president and, in fact, represents a "fatal cancer" plaguing the Republican Party.
Wonkette was correct in calling this clip "phenomenal stuff." It's also scary stuff—check out this video by Blogger Interrupted, showing supporters of John McCain and Sarah Palin demonstrating how negative campaigning strategies and catchphrases can hit their marks.
Truthdig is excited to collaborate with Capzles.com on a unique new way of telling a story – in this case, about VP hopeful (and, yes, possible president) Sarah Palin – using video, audio and text "moments" along an interactive timeline.
California Governor's Office
Tight credit has put California's state budget into a bit of a pickle, with funding for the government's day-to-day operations drying up faster than Sarah Palin's popularity. A sign of trouble is a letter—leaked Friday—from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson that warned of a potential emergency request for a $7-billion loan within the coming weeks.
You might think you're watching a movie trailer when the voice-over kicks in on this promo spot for the Wasilla Assembly of God's "Master's Commission," which a member of Sarah Palin's former church describes as an "intense discipleship training program." Although darkness sets in and seems to never let up in America's northernmost state, the booming voice proclaims, "God has a destiny for the state of Alaska" ... and the world!
"Saturday Night Live" alumna Tina Fey returned once again to fulfill her comedic duty on the Sept. 27 episode of NBC's comedy show, spoofing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's one-on-one interview with CBS anchor Katie Couric earlier in the week. Fey's fellow "SNL" comedian Amy Poehler dropped her Hillary Clinton act to play Couric in this clip.
Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel has openly questioned whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has the experience or qualifications to effectively serve as president, the Omaha World-Herald reported Thursday. Also, Hagel's not buying the argument that Alaska's proximity to Russia gives Palin any particular edge or special insights about U.S.-Russian relations.
Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren seems a bit flustered when confronted with the square-jawed, fur-lined manliness of Alaska's "first dude," Todd Palin, in this clever TPM montage of Van Susteren's interview with Gov. Sarah Palin's snow-machine-driving man of few words.
Anonymous, an Internet-based group best known for pranking and protesting the Church of Scientology, apparently hacked Sarah Palin's Yahoo Mail account and posted images of her inbox and correspondence on the Web. The McCain campaign condemned the "shocking invasion," which turned up nothing of substantial juiciness.
What kind of person tells a self-aggrandizing lie, gets called on it, admits publicly that the truth is not at all what she originally claimed—and then goes out and starts telling the original lie again without changing a word?
Flickr / whatshername?
Not to chortle over every asinine twist in the Sarah Palin adventure, but there's something truly bizarre about the news that the folksy candidate in the race had a private tanning bed installed in the governor's mansion. The cost of the bed is undisclosed, but one source says the cost of such a device installed in a home can be up to $35,000.
Although critics are still accusing the "elite media" of unfairly scrutinizing Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, less than two months remain before the Nov. 4 election to suss out who she is and what she stands for. Saturday's New York Times article on Palin will no doubt draw more protests, but the Times' findings are worth voters' close consideration before they head to the polling booths.
To his credit, ABC's Charlie Gibson posed some practical and pertinent questions in the first installment of his interview with Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, and he didn't let her off the hook when she conflated "national security" with "energy independence." Updated
Politicians, take note: "Local" interviews are no longer all that local. In this interview, Rob Caldwell, anchor for WCSH in Portland, Maine, asks Republican presidential nominee John McCain about his running mate Sarah Palin's credentials when it comes to "national security, diplomacy, foreign policy" and "the fight against Islamist extremism."

Ignorance is bliss, which perhaps explains Gov. Sarah Palin being so confidently wrong about the root cause of the federalization of most of the nation's mortgage market. But what is Sen. John McCain's excuse?
As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin is entitled to bill the state for certain expenses she incurs on the job, such as travel (for herself and her family), food and lodging. That said, The Washington Post has delved into her records and discovered that Palin "billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office," charging per diem expenses intended to cover costs related to travel.
"Let's give the Lord a hand for our governor," says Ed Kalnin, senior pastor at the Wasilla Assembly of God Church, after Sarah Palin holds forth about the role of God's will in her work as Alaska's governor in this widely circulated clip from Palin's visit to her former church last June.
Apparently undeterred by Sarah Palin's challenging stance from the RNC podium Wednesday night, The Boston Globe and other media outlets went about their business of vetting Palin's past, as with any other public figure who aspires to play a major leadership role on the world stage. As it turns out, Palin's own experience on said world stage has thus far been rather limited.
The GOP merchandising machine is kicking into gear following VP nominee Sarah Palin's Wasilla-to-Washington pep rally on Wednesday night, angling to compete with those ubiquitous Shepard Fairey Obama T-shirts and such by offering "Sarah Is My Homegirl" cotton separates and, yes, "Wonder Palin" thong underwear.

Welcome to the People's Republic of Alaska, where every resident this year will get a $3,200 payout, thanks in no small measure to the efforts of Sarah Palin, the state's Republican governor.

As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, now the mother of a pregnant teen, cut state funds that would have helped house and support teenage mothers. This on top of the news that both Palin and John McCain have opposed teen pregnancy prevention programs.

It was a lineup designed to bring women at the Republican National Convention ever forward and onward into the year 1800, but alas, Sarah Palin couldn't make it.
Here's the hopeful commercial the McCain campaign recently released to introduce Sarah Palin to voters around the country, featuring a hopeful soundtrack and bittersweet reminders of a more hopeful time in the McCain presidential campaign—as in, five days ago—when Palin was really, really new to McCain too!

John McCain wanted to shake things up with his unexpected nomination of an unknown "outsider," at least when it came to the political scene in Washington—but by Tuesday, as reports about issues from Sarah Palin's home life and professional past circulated in the media, some McCain allies (and certainly many detractors) wondered how much his unconventional move might cost his campaign.
In post-Nixonian American politics, you're nobody unless you're associated with a scandal replete with shadowy intrigue and danger and commonly referred to in the press with the suffix -gate. Good thing John McCain's VP pick, Sarah Palin, comes equipped with her own: Troopergate.
Mother of five, one-time Miss Congeniality, caribou hunter, pro-lifer, proponent of creationism: Alaska's Gov. Sarah Palin is all of these things, rolled into one strategically advantageous package—at least in the eyes of the GOP higher-ups who backed her rise from relative obscurity to sudden political stardom as John McCain's running mate.
He wasn't always known for his coolheaded leadership skills during his 16-year NBA career, but now, after almost 10 years off the court, Charles Barkley is apparently gearing up to compete in the political arena, telling the New York Daily News that he aims to run for governor of Alabama in a few years.

Fluor Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Results
2012 New Awards of $27.1 Billion; Ending Backlog of $38.2 Billion
2012 Revenue up 18 Percent to Record $27.6 Billion
2012 Earnings of $2.71 Per Share Including $1.57 Per Share Charge from Previously Announced Greater Gabbard Arbitration Ruling
Category: Business Groups (Corporate)
Wednesday, February 20, 2013 4:05 pm EST
IRVING, Texas
Public Company Information:
"The underlying profitability of the Company has never been stronger, notwithstanding the surprising and unexpected adverse arbitration decision on our Greater Gabbard claims,"
IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) today announced financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Net earnings attributable to Fluor for 2012 were $456 million, or $2.71 per diluted share, compared with $594 million, or $3.40 per diluted share in 2011. Earnings per share results included a charge of approximately $1.57 per share relating to the previously announced arbitration ruling on the Greater Gabbard project. Excluding this charge, net earnings attributable to Fluor for 2012 would have been $4.28 per diluted share. Consolidated segment profit for the year was $769 million, including the impact of a $416 million pre-tax charge on Greater Gabbard, which compares with $1.0 billion in segment profit in 2011. Results in 2012 reflected strong double-digit growth in Oil & Gas and Global Services, and strength in Industrial & Infrastructure which was adversely impacted by the Greater Gabbard charge. Consolidated revenue for the year totaled a record $27.6 billion, which was up 18 percent from $23.4 billion a year ago, mainly due to strong growth in the Industrial & Infrastructure and Oil & Gas business segments.
Full year new awards were strong at $27.1 billion, compared with bookings of $26.9 billion a year ago, including $12.6 billion in Oil & Gas and $9.5 billion in Industrial & Infrastructure. Consolidated backlog at year-end was $38.2 billion, which compares with $39.5 billion a year ago.
"The underlying profitability of the Company has never been stronger, notwithstanding the surprising and unexpected adverse arbitration decision on our Greater Gabbard claims," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Seaton. "We are very optimistic about the opportunities we see in our oil, gas, petrochemical and infrastructure markets in particular, and expect to deliver solid results in line with our guidance for 2013."
Corporate G&A expense for the year was reduced to $151 million, from $163 million a year ago. The effective tax rate for the year was 22 percent, reflecting the recognition of benefits associated with the favorable resolution of various issues, including the settlement of a tax audit relating to prior years. Fluor's financial condition remains very strong, with cash plus current and noncurrent marketable securities totaling $2.6 billion. During 2012, the Company generated $628 million in cash flow from operating activities, repurchased $389 million worth of Fluor shares, and paid out $129 million in dividends.
The Company remains encouraged by the opportunities across its diverse end-markets, and is maintaining its EPS guidance for 2013 at the previously announced range of $3.85 to $4.35 per diluted share.
Business Segments
Fluor's Oil & Gas unit reported a 21 percent increase in segment profit to $335 million in 2012, from $276 million in 2011. Revenue rose by 19 percent to $9.5 billion in 2012. The segment's strong financial performance reflects increasing new awards and progress on existing backlog projects. Full year new awards in 2012 totaled $12.6 billion, which represents a 51 percent increase from $8.3 billion in 2011. In the fourth quarter, the segment booked new awards of $1.7 billion, including petrochemical projects in North America, Europe and Asia. Ending Oil & Gas backlog rose 21 percent from a year ago to end 2012 at $18.2 billion.
The Industrial & Infrastructure group reported segment profit of $124 million, down from $389 million in 2011. Segment results reflect strong growth in the mining and metals business line and progress on large domestic infrastructure projects, but were impacted by a $416 million pre-tax charge due to the adverse arbitration decision in the fourth quarter relating to the Greater Gabbard wind farm project. Total revenue for the segment rose 26 percent to $12.2 billion in 2012, mainly due to significant growth in the mining and metals business line. New awards in 2012 were substantial at $9.5 billion, but declined from $12.2 billion a year ago when mining and metals markets were particularly strong. New awards in the fourth quarter were $3.0 billion, including a sizable copper mining project in South America. Year-end backlog declined to $15.5 billion, from a segment record of $19.6 billion a year ago, reflecting lower new awards and the cancellation of two mining projects in the third quarter that totaled $2.0 billion.
Government posted segment profit of $150 million, which was up from $145 million a year ago. Revenue in 2012 of $3.3 billion compares with $3.4 billion a year ago. Segment results include substantial ongoing activities from LOGCAP IV task orders in Afghanistan and long-term Department of Energy contracts at the Savannah River and Portsmouth sites. New awards totaled $3.2 billion for the year, compared with $3.7 billion in 2011 which included higher LOGCAP IV task order volume. Ending backlog in 2012 was $978 million, which compares with $1.1 billion a year ago.
Segment profit for Global Services rose 17 percent to $178 million in 2012, from $152 million in 2011, mainly due to growth in the operations & maintenance and temporary staffing business lines. Revenue increased by 9 percent to $1.7 billion, reflecting growth across all business lines. Full year new awards of $904 million compared with awards of $1.0 billion a year ago. Ending backlog declined to $1.7 billion from $1.9 billion a year ago.
Fluor's Power group reported a segment loss of $17 million, which included expenses of $63 million associated with the Company's continued investment in NuScale. This compares with profit of $81 million a year ago, which included $7 million in NuScale expenses. Segment revenue increased to $841 million from $743 million a year ago. Full year new awards were $884 million, compared with $1.6 billion in 2011. The segment continues to be impacted by relatively weak demand for new power generation projects. Power segment backlog rose modestly to $1.9 billion, from $1.8 billion a year ago.
Fourth Quarter Results
The fourth quarter of 2012 was a net loss attributable to Fluor of $4 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, which compared with net earnings attributable to Fluor of $153 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, in 2011. Fourth quarter net earnings were impacted by an after-tax charge of $265 million, or approximately $1.61 per diluted share, relating to the adverse arbitration ruling on the Greater Gabbard wind farm project. Excluding this charge, net earnings attributable to Fluor for the fourth quarter would have been $1.58 per diluted share. This previously announced charge, which totaled $416 million before tax, took strong underlying fourth quarter segment profit results down to a consolidated segment loss of $49 million, which compares with a segment profit of $279 million a year ago. Current quarter segment profit benefited from favorable events including the renegotiation of the LOGCAP IV contract which yielded a $17 million improvement in Government's results, and a $43 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Company's equity interest in a joint venture in the U.K. which improved Industrial & Infrastructure's results. The quarter also benefited from a lower than expected tax provision due to the favorable resolution of various tax matters. Corporate G&A expenses in the fourth quarter of 2012 were $41 million, below the $61 million reported a year ago, primarily due to improvements in foreign currency positions and lower incentive compensation expenses. Revenue for the quarter was $7.0 billion, which represents a 12 percent increase over last year, mainly due to a significant increase in the Oil & Gas segment. Fourth quarter new awards were $5.1 billion, including awards of $3.0 billion in Industrial & Infrastructure and $1.7 billion in Oil & Gas.
