QUOTE (Gizmo @ May 6, 2009 - 09:12AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You're correct that it's also upsetting when the Wings put themselves in a position where they have to worry about a single blown call making a difference. However changing the color of Hiller's pads, or pants, or whatever would have only removed the list of excuses the NHL would have to offer to defend the official. In my opinion, they likely had zero to do with it. A better option would be to tell the officials, that in the playoffs they need to add about a second to their internal "egg timer" to made darn sure the puck is actually covered before they commit to blowing their whistle... even more so when they're in a less than optimal position to see the play.
I Agree 100% .. If we change his pad colors then we would have to go around to the rest of the Teams in the league that wear black uniforms and have them change too.. I think what should be done is that if a ref blows the whistle that the play is still reviewable upstairs to make sure something like this is possible avoided.. Not that the knuckle heads upstairs are any better!!

A federal judge ruled against the Milwaukee archdiocese.
The judge Thursday allowed bankruptcy filings by church abuse victims to go forward.
The ruling impacts three cases, covering nearly 600 claimants, but any financial settlement may be in question.
According to the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, the archdiocese doesn't have money to settle the claims, after spending $9 million in legal fees.

"She had a lot of uncertainty [before the hearing] even though she really, truly believes she didn't do anything wrong and the whole thing was a misunderstanding," says the source. "But she really does think it's so ridiculous and people are just out to get her."
Lohan, 24, pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of stealing a $2,500 necklace. After a stern warning from the judge, the troubled star was released on $40,000 bail Wednesday.
On Thursday the actress Tweeted, "i would never steal, in case people are wondering. I was not raised to lie, cheat, or steal."
While Lohan awaits her next hearing, set for Feb. 23, she is still baffled by the latest turn of events, claiming she thought she was allowed to borrow the necklace from a Venice, Calif., jewelry store.
If convicted, the actress could face up to three years in prison, but her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley told CNN that the grand theft charge is "entirely defensible."
While Lohan has had her fair share of troubles – with at least five rounds of rehab, three trips to county jail and multiple court appearances – friends insist that since leaving rehab at the beginning of the year she has been trying to turn her life around.
"She's finally got things on track, she's trying to do the right thing, and people are constantly trying to bring her down," the source added.

When a football team sees Cumberland Valley on its schedule, a certain sense of fear comes over it.
The Eagles have been perhaps the best team in District 3 for the past 30 years, rolling up 12 district championships and the 1992 PIAA Class AAAA title since playoffs made their debut in 1982.
But what's even more fearsome is that teams know exactly what CV is going to do every game, and more often than not, they can't stop it.
The Eagles run the Wing-T offense and 6-2 defense to perfection, seemingly with new personnel every season.
When one senior graduates, the next player on the depth chart is ready to step in, thanks to preparation that begins well before they hit ninth grade.
"We have a real good relationship with Tim Rimpfel and the high school staff," Cumberland Valley midget head coach Tim Cramer said.
"Essentially we do what they do on a smaller scale. It's a real big help to our midget kids because when they leave our midget program, they know what they're doing. It also helps our high school coaches because our kids go up there and they know the offense when they're at the freshman level."
Rimpfel is in his 22nd year as the head of the CV varsity squad, and while many local coaches are just getting a connection with their youth programs started, there was already one in place at Cumberland Valley before Rimpfel got there.
His predecessor, the legendary Harry Chapman, got that ball rolling when the I-formation was still en vogue at CV.
"Initially, we had that relationship back when Harry Chapman was the coach," said Cramer, who's been involved with the Cumberland Valley midgets for 28 years.
"Then Tim came in and he kept the same ideals, so we've had a great relationship with him since he came over."
That's a kind of jump start that other coaches will never be able to catch up to, especially with the shear number of kids coming through the system.
When the biggest high school in the area has good numbers on its varsity team, it's a benefit, but when close to 1,000 kids are running the same system from they time they first put a helmet on, it leads to the kind of success Cumberland Valley has.
Carlisle coach and CV grad Josh Oswalt knows this first hand, and that's exactly why he's trying to do the same with the Thundering Herd's youth program.
"By the time you get up to Rimpfel's program at the high school level, when the coach tells you the play call, you know it. That's a huge benefit for it to be second nature by the time you get to ninth grade."
Those benefits to the players double for the high school coaching staff, and Rimpfel, who said the Eagles get fewer pure athletes than many people assume, knows just how important that is for his program.
"What I like with our players is that they're all pretty decent athletes when they get to varsity, but they have good fundamentals, which starts at the midget level," Rimpfel said.
"It might not be important that they're running the Wing-T or our 6-2, but they're learning the fundamentals of blocking and tackling, because by the time we get them, if they have an issue, it's already too late."

Islamic State's Sophisticated Recruiting Campaign Poses Persistent Threat in U.S.
The arrests of six Minnesota men accused earlier this month of attempting to join the Islamic State group highlights an unprecedented marketing effort being waged by the militant group in Iraq and Syria, U.S. law enforcement officials and terror analysts said.
It's a campaign that is finding resonance from urban metros to the American heartland.
"This is not so much a recruitment effort as it is a global marketing campaign, beyond anything that al-Qaida has ever done," said a senior law enforcement official.
The official, who is not authorized to comment publicly, said the Islamic State's slick multimedia productions, its use of social media, and personal "peer-to-peer" communication are proving to be effective parts of a sophisticated program aimed at the West.
"I don't think there has been one case in which we haven't found some connection to the videos or other media the group has produced," the official said.
Federal authorities have identified more than 150 U.S. residents who have sought to join the ranks of the terror organization or rival groups in Syria. There is evidence that about 40 of those have traveled to the region and returned to the U.S. Most have been charged; an undisclosed number are free and subjects of intense surveillance, the senior official said.
The smallest subset of the group, an estimated dozen, represents those who have actually joined the fighting ranks.

Don't talk to strangers, remember what happened to Sarah Cherry....
On July 6th, 1988 Dennis Dechaine of Bowdinham, Maine came home from work (transporting frozen chickens from a slaughterhouse) and planned to work on constructing a greenhouse. However, that project hit a glitch and sometime that afternoon he decided instead to take some amphetamines and go exploring in the woods near his home. When he emerged from the woods, lost and looking for his truck, about 8:30 pm that night he was questioned by the police who were looking for a missing 12 year old girl named Sarah Cherry. Two days later, Sarah's body was found and Dennis Dechainewas charged with the girl's murder. He was convicted in March of 1989 to life in prison without parole and an entire generation of Maine girls were told to 'remember Sarah Cherry' as a caution to not talk to strangers.
The question before us now, is, of course, did he do it?

Murder on Swan's Island
Murder on Swan's Island Not a Stephen King story or a Murder She Wrote episode, but a real tragedy in a real small town in Maine (not far from my home town) where the deaths of two people change the lives of an entire community forever. It set me thinking ... how would this story be different if set in Boston, or LA, or London? Would the pain and loss for those who knew Jamie and Stacy be the same? Or is it magnified by the close-knit family that makes up a rural island township?

Hosco has not been headed at any point of call in his three races to date.
Ridden by Tyler Baze, Hosco, breaking from the rail, blitzed through rapid fractions of :21, :43 4/5 and :56, but was still untouchable at the end.
Baze said the plan was to take the lead and move off the rail, where the going was heavier.
"For as fast as we went, I was surprised how strong he finished, but every time I tried to slow him down it cut off his air so I just let him run and he kept busy right down to the wire," Baze said.
The Herc, the 8-5 favorite with Kent Desormeaux aboard, faded to sixth after trying to chase the hot pace.
Hosco opened up a length advantage on the backstretch, opened up as Roi Charmant took up the challenge on the turn for home and continued to inch away before Roi Charmant began making some headway in the final sixteenth of a mile.
Corey Nakatani, who was aboard Roi Charmant, said the colt should improve.
"He's honest and tries hard and that is all I can ask for," he said. "(Hosco) ran a tremendous race and was the better horse today. (Roi Charmant) came back good and I expect we might be able to turn the table on them next time."
Trained by Doug O'Neill, Hosco beat an optional claiming allowance field by a nose in 1:10 1/5 on opening day Dec. 26 at Santa Anita after breaking his maiden against $80,000 claimers by two lengths Dec. 4 at Hollywood Park. He earned $64,860 for Sunday's victory and has now banked $111,660.
The Grade III San Miguel is the first race of the series for 3-year-olds en route to the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby (gr. I) on April 3. O'Neill said he may try to let Hosco try two turns in the near future.
"He's a hard horse to try and take a hold off and hopefully he'll mature, but if you try and grab a hold of him he kind of gets a little rank," O'Neill said. "He doesn't act like a horse that will go two turns but at the same time before he ever ran he didn't act like a horse who'd win three in a row."
Northwest Farm bred the dark bay colt, who was produced from the Carson City mare Cucina Cucina. He was purchased for $30,000 in Washington in August 2002.
Sent off as the third choice of the bettors, Hosco paid $10, $6.20 and $3.80. Roi Charmant returned $6.40 and $4.60. Gethsemani's show was $5.40. The $2 exacta was worth $41.20.
Tyler Baze, Hosco, Winner: "In the paddock Doug and I talked about how three of his other horses today hugged the rail and it seemed to be deep and slow (on the rail). So we decided to try and get off the rail three or four wide and that is what we did. For as fast as we went, I was surprised how strong he finished, but every time I tried to slow him down it cut off his air so I just let him run and he kept busy right down to the wire."

Mortgage Ads Lead to $21 Million Settlement With Regulator
WASHINGTON—An Atlanta-based mortgage lender posted inaccurate rates for home loans on the Internet, gave artificially low rate quotes to borrowers and inappropriately steered them into its own appraisal company, a federal regulator said Tuesday.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau made the allegations as part of a nearly $21 million settlement with Atlanta-based Amerisave Mortgage and company owner Patrick Markert.
The settlement is an indication that the three-year-old regulator intends to be aggressive in stamping out alleged mortgage market abuses.
The company did not admit or deny the allegations but agreed to refund $14.8 million to consumers and pay a $4.5 million fine. In addition, Mr. Markert agreed to pay a $1.5 million fine.
Amerisave said in a statement that it settled the charges "in order to resolve this matter promptly and fully." The issues raised by the regulator "have been previously addressed," the company said.
The action was the first time the three-year-old consumer finance regulator has sanctioned a mortgage lender for allegations of deceptive advertising.
The regulator alleged that Amerisave roped consumers into loans by giving out rate quotes based on a top-notch credit score of 800, even if they had lower credit scores. "By the time consumers could have discovered the advertised low rates were too good to be true, they had already committed to pay hundreds of dollars to Amerisave," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray.
In addition, the CFPB alleged that Amerisave required consumers to schedule appraisals before obtaining an official estimate of mortgage costs, in violation of federal law, the CFPB said. The company also referred most customers to its own appraisal company and did not disclose the relationship, the CFPB said.

TWO OF THE top college quarterbacks in the country faced off at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Oct. 29, 2011, combining for 614 passing yards, six touchdown passes and 104 points.
USC quarterbacks coach Clay Helton watched Stanford's Andrew Luck and the Trojans' Matt Barkley lead their teams up and down the field, Stanford ultimately winning, 56-48, in triple overtime.
"You knew it was a really special time," Helton said yesterday. "That you were looking at some guys that were - wow, these are two really special athletes out here. The competition, the plays they made, with everybody watching . . . Those are the things I'll remember about Matt. He performs at the highest level when the pressure's at its most."

Why a Funeral Is Not the Time to Rejoice
A funeral is, most certainly, a time for reflecting on and being reminded of the Christian hope; the Book of Common Prayer calls for a prayer that asks God to confirm in each heart the ancient truths of our faith:
"help us, we pray, in the midst of things we cannot understand, to believe and trust in the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection to life everlasting."
Yet even if we have unshakeable hope in the Resurrection, death shakes us, especially when death occurs suddenly, violently, or to a young person. But even when someone very old or very sick and death ends their great pain, death is no friend. Paul calls it an enemy.
English priest and poet John Donne wrote a famous sonnet to Death ("Death, be not proud") which puts death in the context of resurrection—"one short sleep past, we wake eternally/And Death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die." While I love this poem, I wonder if its message was one needed more in its own time than in ours. Donne's wife, Anne, bore 12 children in 16 years of marriage before dying in childbirth; two of their children were stillborn, and three died before age 10. They did not need to be reminded of death's horror. Indeed, what they needed to hold fast to was the promise that in the scheme of eternity, death was merely a "short sleep."
We have absorbed this message a bit too well. I have been to a number of Christian funerals that were blithely referred to as "celebrations," as "homegoings," as "graduations," with the assumption clearly throughout that the only story we Christians can tell about death is that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord"—which, though true, does not tell the full story. In our own context, most of us do not have to face death as bluntly and as frequently as did John and Anne Donne. When the arrangements are made by professionals, when sleek "life celebration" photo displays are created, when bodies are trussed and trimmed to look as if they're lying in bed, insisting that Aunt Jodie is "in a better place," that Uncle Joe is "no longer suffering," or that baby Jane is "in the arms of Jesus" can hide from us the ugliness and decay and (almost) irreversible loss that death represents.
Theologian N.T. Wright warns readers not to assume that Jesus' disciples expected for Jesus to rise from the dead. They didn't. For them, Jesus' death was a devastating loss, not simply of a dear friend and teacher—which would've been bad enough—but also the loss of the hope of the peaceful kingdom they'd hoped that he would establish. They weren't tapping their fingers waiting for Sunday morning. They were mourning. If they expected to see Jesus again, their expectations would have been mouldering corpse rather than glorious Christ. It's this—this bursting forth from life from a place of mourning—that Christians have ritually reenacted for millennia in the observance of Lent and, especially, of Holy Week. The fasting of Lent makes space for the feasting of Easter; wallowing in the horror of death makes space for glorying in the hope of the Resurrection.

Hodgson 'Better Fit' Than Redknapp to Coach England: Roundup
The following is a roundup of soccer stories from U.K. newspapers with clickable links to the Web.
'Better Fit'
The Football Association sees West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson as a "better fit" as England coach than Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Redknapp, the Daily Mirror reported.
The Premier League team yesterday gave permission to the English soccer ruling body to speak to Hodgson.
The F.A. hopes to wrap up Hodgson's appointment within three days in what will be an "amazing snub" to Redknapp, the bookmakers' favorite, according to the Mirror.
Liverpool Signing
Liverpool will sign AZ Alkmaar's Rasmus Elm for 8 million pounds ($13 million) even after Reds coach Kenny Dalglish wasted a trip to see him play, the Sun reported.
The 24-year-old midfielder didn't take part in the game Dalglish travelled to see because his wife had just gone into labor, the Sun said. Elm, who has played 22 times for Sweden, agreed to a five-year contract worth 40,000 pounds a week, the Sun added.
Dalglish in France
Liverpool is interested in hiring Montpellier striker Olivier Giroud, who may be available to sign for 13.5 million pounds, the Daily Mail reported.
Dalglish and assistant Steve Clarke watched Montpellier's 1-0 victory at Toulouse on April 27, the Mail said. Giroud, who missed a penalty in the game, could snub the Reds because he is likely to play in the Champions League with his French club, while the Reds will be in the Europa League, the Mail said.
Manchester Derby
Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson could recall Ji-Sung Park, who hasn't played for seven games, to replace Danny Welbeck as he considers a five-man midfield against Manchester City, the Sun reported.
Ferguson wants to employ Park's "destructive powers" and may employ just Wayne Rooney in attack, according to the Sun. City will overtake United on goal difference to lead the Premier League, with two of 38 games remaining, if it wins at the Etihad Stadium tonight.

text: After parking the family car one day in April 1999, Dann asked her 48-year-old husband, Willem, with whom she had adopted a son, Jake, three years before, "Should we get the car seat?" Willem's reply—"What's a car seat?"—was the first sign of the aggressive brain tumor that would rob him of speech, memory and movement before ending his life in August 2000. In this slim, affecting memoir, Dann chronicles Willem's quick decline and her own struggle to help 4-year-old Jake deal with losing his dad. No goldfish-went-on-vacation euphemizer, she opts for straight talk while allowing Jake his talismans—Band-Aids plastered on his toy trucks, beach glass arranged in an intricate pattern on his parents' bed. When Willem dies at home in Manhattan, Jake is with him and covers his face in kisses. "Now we're two," he whispers to his mother. Dann brings home the enormity of their loss, but you get the feeling they're two who, together, will survive just fine.

Garry Wilson realized recently that it made sense to leave his car at home and take a CARTA bus to work.
Summerville route
CARTA launches a new Summerville Express on Monday.Service begins at Dorchester Village Shopping Center at Dorchester and Trolley roads.Stops include Bosch, Boeing, Joint Base Charleston, the Charleston Visitor Center, the Medical University of South Carolina and the College of Charleston.Service will be every half-hour from 5:15 a.m. to 9:46 a.m., and from 3:07 p.m. to 7:39 p.m.
Fuel prices, he said.The Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center electrician said he spends $50 for a 31-day pass. It was costing him that much per week to put gas in his car.
More on the bus
Yearly CARTA riders show increase:2008 4,030,5212009 4,039,7732010 4,173,1152011 4,448,143Through May 2012 2,018,479For the first time, CARTA expected to break 5-million-rider mark this year.
I have no problem with CARTA at all. Its a very good service, he said.
As Wilson, a Desert Storm veteran, and others rode the Dorchester Road Route 12 bus Wednesday, CARTA geared up for its new express service between Summerville and Charleston.
The new route, which starts Monday, will serve workers at Boeing and Bosch as well as Joint Base Charleston and the Charleston Visitor Center. Stops serving the Medical University of South Carolina and the College of Charleston also are on the express route.
The service will leave from the Dorchester Village Shopping Center at Dorchester and Trolley roads starting at 5:15 a.m. and run every half-hour until 9:46 a.m. Return buses will run from 3:07 p.m. to 7:39 p.m. CARTA is assigning three buses to the route.
Officials with the Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority report that more and more people are taking the bus these days. Since 2008, the number of travelers who board a bus run by the transit authority has steadily increased.
This year, CARTA expects to break the 5-million-rider mark for the first time. So far, the transit agency is reporting a 13 percent increase in riders compared with last year, when 4.4 million customers took the bus.
Ridership continues to grow, said Christine Wilkinson, CARTA executive director.
Sixty percent of the people who live in Summerville work in Charleston County, said Elliott Summey, CARTA chairman.
The express route is a significant development for CARTA as it branches out beyond the Charleston, North Charleston and Mount Pleasant areas. A press conference and ribbon cutting are planned for Friday morning to mark the beginning of the new service.
As the Route 12 bus lumbered from stop to stop Wednesday, mothers who obviously knew one another chatted about the progress of their children. Some riders slept to the drone of the diesel engine. Broken cars and going to classes were some of the other reasons given for being aboard.
Dominique Greene rode the Dorchester Road Route 12 bus from her classes where she is studying to become a certified nursing assistant.
Walk or find a ride. I need it almost every day, she said.
Willie White, a banquet captain at the Embassy Suites Hotel, said he was riding the bus because his wife had the car for the day. Dennis Johnson, a cook at the Olive Garden, said he took the bus because his car had a flat tire.
Today is the seventh annual National Dump The Pump Day sponsored by the American Public Transportation Association in partnership with The Sierra Club and The Natural Resources Defense Council. The idea of the promotional event is to encourage people to leave their cars at home and try public transportation.
The latest APTA Transit Savings Report shows that a two-person household that downsizes to one car can save on average about $10,000 a year.
Last year, CARTA had 4.4 million riders. Through May of this year, 2 million people had taken the bus. In 2008 and 2009, 4 million riders were reported, and 4.2 million in 2010. For May, the latest figures show that CARTA had 35,000 more riders than last year.
At a CARTA board meeting Wednesday, the board heard about new possibilities for mass transit in the Lowcountry.
We do see a future for light rail. Folks are becoming keenly aware of the limits of Interstate 26, said Ron Mitchum, executive director of the Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester Council of Governments.
That could mean a 22-mile commuter rail from Summerville to Charleston, he said.
Mitchum also discussed a proposal to combine the services of CARTA and TriCounty Link, the rural bus service.
CARTA buses, including this express bus, come back to the Leeds Avenue operations center at the end of the days runs.×

A group of conservative leaders have launched a campaign to reform America's criminal justice system, saying the current penal methods are ineffective and costing taxpayers too much money.
This coalition, including such prominent conservatives as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese and former Drug Czar Asa Hutchinson have abandoned the philosophy of "lock 'em up and throw away the key."
Others leading the coalition include Pat Nolan, vice president for Prison Fellowship, David Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union, and Brooke Rollins, president and chief executive officer of the Texas Public Policy Foundation who appeared at a Washington news conference to promote the new campaign.
These conservative leaders say billions of dollars can be saved by getting smart on crime rather than just tough on crime.
"Save money and keep the public safer," Nolan explained.
Nolan said the country's prison system now costs $68 billion a year, up 400 percent in the last 25 years, while America's population has only grown 5 percent.
"We could probably save $4 to $5 billion and we would be safer," he added.
"There are some states now that are spending as much money building prisons as they are educating their children," Keene said.
The state of Texas has been leading the way in the reforms these conservatives have embraced.
"We have saved billions of dollars. The crime rate has gone down nine percent and we've improved public safety," Rollins explained.
The leaders have launched a campaign known as "Right on Crime" to educate state leaders about proven reforms. Solutions range from using more community programs like drug rehab and taking laws off the books for crimes that many now consider are not criminal.
The group of three said prison reform should certainly involve the proven religious-based programs like Prison Fellowship.
"The government doesn't have enough money to put into trying to transform inmates," Nolan said. "That's where the church comes in. We can come alongside the inmates with mentor programs, with discipleship programs. Teach them how to live as a Christian, and try to bring their families back together to heal those wounds."
The prison system, left to its own devices, sees 50 percent of its freed prisoners back behind bars within three years -- a 50 percent failure rate.
The trio said that's unconscionable.
Secularists may not like it, but Christ-centered programs in prisons have already saved many millions of dollars in numerous states.
"It's the answer to this big hole in the budgets and it's also the answer on lowering crime, because these people who are focused on Christ then become good citizens, good husbands, good employees," Nolan said.

LAMBERTVILLE — Members of a Canadian utility company crew who helped restore power to much of the city after Hurricane Sandy were made honorary citizens by grateful officials.
And, when their work was done, they were treated to dinner at a local restaurant by the city and neighboring West Amwell, where the crews also made repairs.
Entegrus Powerlines, a Canadian company, was one of many utilities from North American to send crews to the areas hard-hit by the hurricane to help restore power. Yesterday, Nov. 29, city Clerk Cindy Ege mailed the company a copy of the honorary citizenship proclamation for each of 16 crew members.
"We all lost power in Lambertville," Ege said of conditions after Sandy roared through on Oct. 29. Jersey Central Power & Light reported not all Lambertville customers lost power, but Ege said that the city's emergency management team traversed the small city and the evidence was clear.
JCP&L estimated that Sandy knocked out service to 1 million of its 1.1 million customers in New Jersey. More than a week after the storm, power was still out in many areas of Hunterdon County.
Lambertville was no exception. Frustrated by the lack of repair crews in southern Hunterdon, Ege said that Mayor David DelVecchio assigned two emergency management members to do "whatever we could" to not only get linemen here, but to help them complete the job.
Outside of times of emergency, Lester Myers is the public works director and Rick Carmosino is the tax assessor. Starting Nov. 6, Ege said, they helped the Canadian utility crews assisting JCP&L with the restoration to navigate around still-blocked roads, get lunch and learn the pockets where houses or businesses were still dark.
"They didn't know our town, we did," said Ege. City officials soon reported that the outages were more complicated than they were initially believed to be, but Ege said that the Canadian crews promised, "We will not leave you until every house has power."
That happened, she said, on Nov. 10. The crews also worked in neighboring West Amwell Township. After the repairs were completed, the two municipalities treated the linemen to dinner at Rick's, splitting the $370 bill.
The men named honorary citizens were: Gary Aitken, Entegrus Powerlines director of operations and Simon Bruinsma, Ken Taylor, Bob Salioe, Gary Gilbert, Derk Tewinkle, Greg Brown, Larry Trepanier, Fred Van Bavel, Dennis Knowler, Eric Hart, Guilio Robles, Martin Verberne, Mike Cook, Ron Pradence and Doug Wells.
In a Nov. 17 proclamation from the city, it said that the crew worked "from the time of their assignment to the City of Lambertville ... from morning until the dark of night to fix problems, repair downed wires, and to restore power in a safe and efficient manner to all of the homes and businesses in the city."
They were thanked for their "hard work and dedication" and made honorary citizens.

Andrew Johnson
Dec. 29, 1808
Wake County
North Carolina, USA
Jul. 31, 1875
Carter County
Tennessee, USA
Governor of Tennessee, US Congressman and Senator, US Vice President and President. He served as the 17th US President from April 1865 until March 1869. A Democrat who became President Abraham Lincoln's running mate on the National Union ticket in 1864, he became the US President upon Lincoln's assassination by John Wilkes Booth. He has the distinction of being the first American president to be impeached, and was acquitted in the US Senate by one vote. Born into humble beginnings, his father died when he was three years old. His mother worked as a washerwoman to support the family. He received little formal education and at the age of ten, he was apprenticed to James Selby who ran a tailor shop. When he was fifteen, he ran away with his brother, who was also apprenticed to the same tailor, and went to Carthage, North Carolina and then on to Laurens, South Carolina where he worked as a tailor. Returning to Raleigh, North Carolina he attempted to buy out his apprenticeship but was unable to, and traveled to Mooresville, Alabama and then to Columbia, Tennessee, working as a tailor. He returned again to Raleigh and at his mother and stepfather's request but decided to go west, stopping at Greeneville, Tennessee where he settled and established a successful tailoring business. In 1827 he married Eliza McCardle, the 16-year-old daughter of a local shoemaker, and she taught him arithmetic, reading, and writing, as he never received the proper education to do these things. He became a voracious reader and books about famous orators aroused his interest in political dialogue, and he had private debates with customers with opposing views on issues of the day. He also took part in debates at Greeneville College. In January 1834 he became mayor of Greeneville. The following year he was elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives and joined the Tennessee Militia, attaining the rank of colonel with the 90th Regiment. After losing his seat in 1837, he ran as a Democrat for the same seat in 1839 and was elected. In 1841 he was elected to the Tennessee Senate, serving a two-year term. By this time he had sold his profitable tailoring business to concentrate solely on politics. In 1842 he was elected to the US House of Representatives and served for 5 terms, from 1843 until 1853. He was pro-slavery (he owned less than ten slaves), supported the Mexican-American War, and authored the Homestead Bill, which would grant 160 acres to people who were willing to go out West to the newly acquired territory gained from Mexico and settle the land, which failed to pass in the US Senate. In 1853 he was elected Governor of Tennessee and served for two terms until 1857, when he was elected to the US Senate. He rejuvenated his Homestead Bill but in 1859 it failed on a procedural vote when Vice President John Breckenridge broke a tie against the bill. In 1860 a watered-down version passed the US House and Senate, only to be vetoed by President James Buchanan at the urging of Southerners. His opposition to secession alienated Southerners, and he returned home when Tennessee took up the issue. Although hiss eastern region of Tennessee was against secession, in June 1861 Tennessee joined the Confederacy. Believing he would be killed if he stayed, he fled the state. He became the only member of the US Senate from a state that seceded to the Confederacy. In 1862 President Lincoln appointed him military governor of Tennessee with the rank of brigadier general after much of the seceded state had been recovered. With the eastern part of the state where his family lived still in Confederate hands, they were allowed to pass through the lines to join him in Nashville. In 1864 he emerged as a potential running mate in Lincoln's re-election bid. Running under the banner of the National Union Party, Lincoln was easily nominated at its convention and Johnson was voted as the vice-presidential candidate on the second ballot and they won the election. Six weeks after he was sworn in as Vice President, Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater in Washington DC and he became President. He then presided over Lincoln's funeral ceremonies in Washington DC. As President, he implemented his own form of Presidential Reconstruction that consisted of a series of proclamations directing the seceded states to hold conventions and elections to re-form their civil governments. When Southern states returned many of their old leaders, and passed Black Codes to deprive former slaves of many civil liberties, Congress refused to seat legislators from those states and advanced legislation to overrule the Southern actions. He vetoed their bills, and Congress overrode him, setting a pattern for the remainder of his presidency. He opposed the 14th Amendment, which gave citizenship to African-Americans. As the conflict between the branches of government grew, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act, restricting him in firing Cabinet officials. When he persisted in trying to dismiss Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, he was impeached on February 24, 1868 by the US House of Representatives for intentionally violating the Tenure of Office Act. On March 5, 1868 his impeachment trial began in the US Senate and lasted almost three months, and they failed to get the two-thirds majority for impeachment by one vote. During his administration, the US purchased Alaska from Russia in March 1867 under an arrangement conducted by Secretary of State William H. Seward. In 1868 he sought the Democratic nomination for US President but lost decisively to former New York governor Horatio Seymour. One of his last official acts as President was on Christmas Day 1868 when he issued a final amnesty for the former Confederacy, including its President, Jefferson Davis. After leaving the presidency, he returned to his home in Greeneville, Tennessee and launched a bid for the US Senate, but was defeated in the Tennessee legislature. In 1872 he sought the Democratic nomination of a special election for an at-large congressional seat for Tennessee but when he saw that it would go to former Confederate General Benjamin F. Cheatham, he ran as an independent and was defeated. In March 1875 he was elected by the Tennessee legislature to the US Senate by a margin of one vote and to this day he remains the only former US President to have served in the Senate. The following July he decided to travel to Ohio to give speeches during their gubernatorial race and on July 29, he stopped at his daughter Mary's farm near Elizabethton, Tennessee. While there, he suffered a stroke, followed by another stroke the next day and he died at the age of 66. According to his wishes, he was buried with his body wrapped in an American flag and a copy of the US Constitution placed under his head. His burial ground was dedicated as the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery in 1906, and with his home and tailor's shop, is part of the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site. A memorial in his honor is at the North Carolina State Capitol in Raleigh, consisting of a statue of him and Presidents Andrew Jackson and James Polk.

Trophy deer are disappearing. Flounder are caught by the cooler-full as the species declines.
Law hunt
From a recent S.C. Department of Natural Resources special news release:Prior to 2008, the prohibition on hunting deer over bait on private land was contained in regulations written by DNR which stated big game could not be baited or hunted over bait. Act 286 struck the regulations and enacted the prohibition into law. When the law was amended it stated it was unlawful to bait for deer. Under current law it is unlawful to bait for deer in the Upstate, but it is not unlawful to hunt deer over bait. The recent decisions by the magistrates court and the Attorney Generals Office lend themselves to the conclusion that is lawful to hunt deer over bait, but unlawful to bait for deer. These decisions have the unintended consequence of making existing law confusing for both the public and DNR law enforcement officers and staff.
That in a nutshell is how the nearly $2 billion per year hunting and fishing recreational industry is managed in South Carolina.
By legislators.
Regulations like bag limits or season restrictions are enacted by the General Assembly based on recommendations, rather than by a wildlife board acting on best management practices.
Derided as a good old boy system, the process has led to a convolution of rules that frustrates hunters, anglers and wildlife managers alike.
And its killing off game populations.
The deer are just not here. They used to be, but not any more. Going home tonight, Ill be worried more about (the truck hitting) a hog than hitting a deer, said Carl Morris Jr., 43, of Huger, about the decline of deer on public land in the Francis Marion National Forest, around which he has lived all his life.
Where it goes wrong is where hunters take their complaints to legislators and the legislation doesnt deal with the science, said Kip Adams, Quality Deer Management education and outreach director.
Thats just the reality of it because people care so much about wildlife and hunting. But it doesnt always result in the best management or regulation.
In most states, wildlife department staff sets the rules based on research and a department board enacts them under legislative oversight.
What difference does the South Carolina process make, with legislators taking the lead?
The frustration stems from a recent S.C. Department of Natural Resources news release that tried to explain a court decision that muddled the existing laws governing deer baiting, or setting out food to lure deer. The last line is the most telling: The (Natural Resources) department will seek to have the law clarified during the upcoming legislative session.
Emily Cope picks her words carefully. The DNR deputy director of wildlife and freshwater fisheries talks about how all wildlife agencies have to find a balance thats scientifically responsible and socially acceptable.
The South Carolina setup creates a different dynamic in how we go about doing the business of natural resources, she said. We get out, get public opinion and work with the entire General Assembly. Our role is to provide information on the biological impact and to understand those impacts on the constituents.
S.C. Sen. Chip Campsen, R-Charleston, sits on or chairs most of the Senate committees where the laws are thrashed out. Hes a sportsman, and he concedes it could be done better.
I do think DNR should have more say in game management decisions. However you cant cede the law-making authority, he said. Its a balance. I think the balance is tipped a little too much in the legislative direction.
Talking about the confusion of laws that set markedly different rules for deer hunting Upstate and in the Lowcountry, he said, Thats probably the nature of game laws. A lot of that is cultural. It would be good to have a little less of a mentality that were going to do it this way because weve always done it this way, and a little more based on science.
In the bag
How wrong has it gone in South Carolina?
In just one example, a two-deer-per-day bag limit with no seasonal limit is in effect virtually across the state. Its cutting the herd down to younger, less genetically healthy deer that are less of a draw for hunting tourism dollars.
Thats because older bucks with more developed antlers are the trophy animals, the ones hunters would rather go after.
The proportion of antlered bucks at least 1½ years old still too young to be trophy size dropped from 89 percent in 1989 to 38 percent in 2010, Adams said.
The national average is 41 percent.
Thats directly related to a very liberal bag limit. It doesnt do much for herd health, he said.
For the past two legislative years, DNR has asked for a five deer or less seasonal bag limit, so far without success.
If you ask people, I believe the majority would want to go with quantity rather than quality. Mainly, people are going out there to put meat in the freezer, Morris said.
Until the deer disappear. Morris now hunts on private land, where the herd is more carefully managed with restrictions, such as no doe hunting.
DNR surveys indicate that three of every four hunters, among the thousands who have been asked, say they want bag limits.
Surveys also indicate that only 3 percent to 5 percent of hunters take more than five deer per year, but that small percentage takes 20 percent of more than 200,000 deer harvested each year.
Cut in half
Other examples are rife.
After the numbers of spottail bass one of the prize saltwater catches plummeted, wildlife managers in 2000 convinced legislators to drop the catch limit from five fish per trip to two.
No sooner than the catch improved, angling groups began pushing legislators to up the catch to three per trip, even though wildlife managers told legislators it was too soon to tell if the long-lived fish had really staged a sustainable comeback.
In 2009, the Legislature upped the catch to three.
And then theres the flounder: Catch limits remain 20 per person per day, even though DNR net surveys indicate the population has been cut in half in fewer than 20 years.
The bottom line is a $2 billion per year tourism industry left with a product thats less valuable or harder to find, and customers who must fend through tangles of rules to get to it.
If youre a weekend-type hunter you can get into trouble pretty quick, said Morris, a former DNR deputy officer. If you look at that rules and regulation book, sometimes it almost contradicts itself.
provided Carl Morris Jr. of Huger with a trophy-sized, 11-point buck he shot on private land this month said deer are disappearing from public hunting land in the Francis Marion National Forest.×

Kathmandu Tours and Travels
About Kathmandu
Resembling a medieval city of temples, shrines and living gods, Kathmandu is Nepal's biggest and most cosmopolitan city, a meeting place of a dozen ethnic groups and once one of the most important points on the caravan routes between Tibet and India. Said to have been founded by king Gun Kamdev in 723 AD, one of the more likely theories of how the city got its name is that it was named after Kastha-Mandap, a pagoda carved from a single tree.Read More

• A changeup in the dirt — not his trademark pitch — to A.J. Pierzynski was swung on and missed for strike three over the weekend. This was Justin Verlander's 1000th strikeout. You may have already known this.
But Bless You Boys' Mike Rogers went all spreadsheety on this milestone. Not only is Verlander the 15th pitcher in Tigers history to achieve this, but of all the previous pitchers, JV has the highest strikeout rate, fanning over 21 percent of the opposition.
He still has to double-and-a-half his total to catch Mickey Lolich, who had 2,679 in his career (good for 18th all time in MLB history, and most by any player not in the Hall of Fame that has been on the ballot). Not even for a great pitcher like Verlander is this a sure thing; Lolich had about 40 starts a year and played in Detroit for 13 seasons. Verlander is breaking into his sixth full season but has less than one-third of Lolich's career innings.
Even if he can't catch Lolich, Verlander does have a great chance to crack the Tigers' top-ten list; 80 more and he passes Bill Donovan for tenth all time. [BYB]
• The Wichita Wingnuts is the goofiest collection of former Detroit Tigers I've ever seen. Today the independent league baseball team just signed former Tigers outfielder Brent Clevlen, who will be managed by former Tigers infielder Kevin Hooper and owned by former Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson. Dane Sardinha belongs on this team somewhere. [KSN]
• I'm sort of in line with Terry Foster's thinking that first baseman Miguel Cabrera, for as good he is, doesn't get the respect he deserves from a baseball perspective. Subtract the personal flaws, and do people in the area realize what a rare talent they have on their team? [Detroit News]
• The signs of catcher Alex Avila getting on track have been promising, but not so fast, writes John Parent. Some of the newer-age stats such as BABIP and BB%, which can gauge a batter's luck and extrapolate a trend, have Avila regressing back to the struggling hitter he was last year. [Motor City Bengals]
• Twenty-five years ago today, Craig Lefferts of the San Diego Padres hit a walkoff home run against the San Francisco Giants. The notability of this? Lefferts was a relief pitcher. It was the last time a pitcher ever hit a walkoff homer, and to paraphrase Dante from the movie "Clerks," he wasn't even supposed to pitch on that night, because he had a high temperature. I would like Jim Leyland to read this story, in the hopes that he somehow makes a double-switch that causes Ryan Perry to bat in the bottom of the ninth. [ESPN SweetSpot]

Houston, Texas blues-rock trio ZZ Top has played together for more than 40 years, scoring hits with songs such as "La Grange," "Cheap Sunglasses," "Legs" and "Sharp Dressed Man." The band plans to release its fifteenth studio album this year.

PRICHARD, Alabama – There should be an "urgency" to attract business to Prichard and for residents to give its City Council and new mayor a chance, former Mayor A.J. Cooper said during a kick-off speech to the city's Juneteenth celebration.
Cooper, who was the city's first black mayor elected in 1972 and served two terms, also defended former Mayor Jesse Norwood and called on Mobile city officials to revert property that once housed the former Scott Paper Co. back to Prichard.
Cooper spoke before about 50 people at True Light Missionary Baptist Church as part of Prichard's revised Juneteenth celebration that resumes June 28 and 29.
Cooper said Prichard lost of "80 percent" of city revenues in the 1960s after the loss of Scott Paper Co. and other properties as a result of an annexation into Mobile, and that Mobile city officials ought to consider reverting the properties back to Prichard decades later.
"Someone in Mobile ought to say at the very least that we ought to give that land back," Cooper said. "We want ours returned to us. It makes sense. It's no small matter."
Cooper also defended Norwood, who served as Prichard mayor until March 2000, when he was ousted from office after being convicted of "willful neglect." Norwood, who was mayor when the city first went into bankruptcy, was removed from office following a rare proceeding in which he was accused of neglect of duty.
"They did a dastardly thing to my friend, Jesse Norwood, to say he wasn't doing a good job in office," Cooper said. "I said, 'what about these other folks who haven't done a good job in office?'"
Cooper urged the city to rally behind the new Prichard City Council and Mayor Troy Ephriam, who took office following a tight mayoral election in October 2012. He said citizens should not be split over of the mayor's decisions, saying "we cannot fight each other forever."
"Give this new council and new mayor a chance," he said. "In 3-1/2 years, you'll get your chance to vote. But help them out."
Cooper said there needs to be an "urgency" to attract new business to Prichard. He said the addition of businesses will attract a tax base that can fix the city's streets and generate recreational activities for children.
Cooper also criticized the judicial system for making it difficult for black men who are convicted of marijuana-related crimes from preventing them to find work or vote.
"What are they supposed to do?" he said. "It's a conundrum. How do we help these folks find a job?"
Cooper called Juneteenth – a recognition of June 19, 1865, in which Union soldiers entered Galveston, Texas, and declared the liberation for all slaves – as a "celebration."
That celebration is something that has been relatively dormant in Prichard for several years.
Ephriam said this year's event is a way to bring Prichard together. The events next weekend include a golf tournament on June 29 benefiting High Pointe Golf Course's restoration and a festival during that night at Prichard Stadium.
"It's about pulling ourselves together," Ephriam said. "It's not about race, but it's about unifying ourselves and standing for what we believe. We are a vibrant community despite all the challenges we face."

PILESGROVE TWP. -- A vendor trying to stop a thief from driving away after his merchandise was stolen at the Cowtown flea market here Tuesday rode atop the car for nearly two miles before being thrown off by a farm field, state police said.
The suspect continued on and is still on the loose.
The vendor, who state police identified as 63-year-old Chung Eun, of Blackwood, was taken to Christiana Hospital in Newark, Del. with "lots of cuts and bruises" but injuries that were not considered life threatening.
The incident occurred around 11:50 a.m. at the popular bi-weekly bazaar on U.S. Route 40, where state police said several of Eun's watches for sale were allegedly taken from an outside booth.
State police said after giving chase, Eun jumped on top of the getaway car and was taken for a ride down the busy highway. The suspect turned onto a local roadway before Eun was tossed off at the intersection of Pointers-Auburn Road and Featherbed Lane.
At this point no arrests have been made, but police said they are in the process of talking with several witnesses.
A description of the thief and his vehicle are being withheld at this time, though reports indicate there may be more than one suspect involved.
A Cowtown employee contacted by phone would not comment on the situation.

The Sandusky case was more than a media circus; it may have been a story that the media (at least in the public eye) got right. Television, radio and newspapers told the story fairly, the verdict seems to be - and, for many thousands, social media provided a forum for venting, an encyclopedia, and a community.
On Saturday, many were citing the comprehensiveness and fairness of coverage, far different from public opinion in the fall, when the first blitz of stories struck some as a rush to judgment, and a factor in the firing and death of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.

The Seahawks have signed former UW standout RB Louis Rankin from their practice squad to the 53-man roster.
As Rotoworld suggests, Rankin's promotion may indicate Justin Forsett being moved off special teams and given more carries with the offense. But it could also mean the team wants to see what Rankin can do in a similar role in which they've used Forsett so far. It'll be interesting to see what happens, but either way, Greg Knapp would be well-advised to mix up the play calling a bit.

It's time for another round of JC Fridays, a quarterly festival of free arts events in Jersey City.
Today, locals can visit over 30 arts venues in neighborhoods like Exchange Place, Greenville, the Jersey City Heights, Jackson Hill, Journal Square and McGinley Square.
In Downtown Jersey City, where the city's arts scene is centered, events can be found around Grove Street, along Newark Avenue, near Hamilton Park and in the Powerhouse Arts District.
"There are lots of new places to visit in addition to a great lineup of art openings, performances, live music and more," said Christine Goodman, founder of Art House Productions, the nonprofit behind JC Fridays.
Goodman said she is particularly excited for an afternoon organ concert at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 38 Duncan Ave.
Other new participants include Downtown restaurants like The Dopeness, 332 Second St., featuring work by artist Anthony Scutro, and Union Republic, 340 Third St., with group art show "The Ties That Bind."
Also, Jersey City Ballet, 342 Seventh St., will have a meet and greet while local literary and art mag Instigatorzine and Jersey City Writers host "Anonymous Night" at WORD Bookstore, 123 Newark Ave.
JC Fridays will also mark the opening of new gallery and boutique The Raven, 304 Newark Ave.
Journal Square also has some new attractions like Hudson Flea, a new market at the Hewn Arts Center, 140 Sip Ave., and Jersey's Art Movement (JAM), which is hosting a multimedia celebration of Women's History Month at 505 Newark Ave.
Locals will also have a chance to win one of two gym memberships at Hamilton Health and Fitness, 161 Erie St., by collecting clues at participating venues.
One membership goes to whoever solves the puzzle by Saturday at 2 p.m., the other to whoever makes the best art, poem, narrative, or story inspired by the combined clues and answers.
Festivalgoers can also get 10 percent off purchases at thrift and vintage store E. Tittlemouse & Co., 246 Bay St.
Goodman hopes this JC Fridays helps artists and art lovers alike shake off the winter blues. Visit JCFridays.com for more information.

Panel 3 is fantastic!! :)
In my run-down hometown, businesses are so short-lived that we only give directions by where landmarks USED TO be. For instance, if someone asked me where the Dunkin' Donuts was, I'd have to tell him, in 100% seriousness, "In the old Rax building, across the street from the Verizon store that used to be a Dunkin' Donuts."
I love the 4th panel. As a cashier in a small town off a major highway, I quite frequently walk away after giving directions thinking "they're never going to get there".
lmao Blanketgirl, that gave me a giggle.
this is classic. everyone has a different way of giving directions so you can hardly ever be effective.
I once gave completely random, yet plausible sounding, directions to some woman in an over sized Hummer. I was visiting a friend in California (I live in Illinois) and was putting my shopping cart away into the cart corral when she stopped me. She must have assumed I worked there due to me wearing black jeans and a white t-shirt, but when I told her I was from out of state she didn't believe me and kept asking me how to get to some shoe store. So, I told her to head down the street we were on for about 3 miles, then make a left at the street with the gas station. After 4 short blocks, make a right by the convenience store, then pull in when you see the McDonalds.
I hope she ended up lost in the ghettos of LA.
best. comic. ever.
4th Panel...
This also lends to pick-up football in junior high as Bill Cosby describes...
"OK, so you're the bottle cap..."
"No, no...I wanna be the piece of glass!"
"And there was always this fat kid that asked 'What about me?' 'Hey, you go long!'"

Where would Packers be with Aaron Rodgers?
Green Bay — Another Sunday, another comeback, another exhausted Green Bay Packer locker room.
An offense missing its quarterback, tight end, best wide receiver, left tackle and — for the fourth quarter — its workhorse running back came within inches Sunday at Lambeau Field, falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 38-31. Coaches have been excavating the 53-man roster for help, any help, into December.
Players will not quit. And, guilty as charged, this looked like a team on life support back on Thanksgiving Day.
Yet, that dark cloud hovering over the 2013 Packers has not receded, either. One can only imagine where the Packers would be with Aaron Rodgers right now. He's still not medically cleared. If you buy what the Packers sell, this is "organizational" precaution with a franchise quarterback.
Perfectly fine. Perfectly understandable. But a long-term vision includes short-term frustration.
Players want Rodgers back "more than anybody," A.J. Hawk said. But this is an ultra-conservative medical staff working with a franchise player.
"Obviously, we have to fight it all the time," Hawk said. "I've had to fight with Dr. McKenzie and the whole training staff before to get on the field. But there are certain things with Aaron, if it's a bone thing, whenever that heals, they'll let him back.
"So we all trust whatever they do. Although we might not like it in the short term, we know in the long term for us as players, it's a good thing for us."
So, for now, the Packers are a try-hard, high-effort, leave-no-stone-unturned team that'll probably come up short as long as Rodgers is on the sideline.
Matt Flynn has done just about everything Matt Flynn can. He's gotten pretty good at this comeback thing. In four of Green Bay's last five games, he has erased double-digit deficits in the second half. Discarded by three teams, he has completed 61.4% of his passes for 1,146 yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions.
But on Sunday, the magic wore off. Flynn threw a pick-six. He fumbled. A last-gasp effort died at Pittsburgh's 1 -yard line.
The Packers win this game with Aaron Rodgers. Maybe they're 13-2 with Aaron Rodgers.
Season on the line, week to week, nobody in the locker room will sweat Rodgers' injury publicly. They could scratch their heads. Could ask questions. They see Rodgers throwing bullets daily at practice. For all the talk about being pros, punching in and punching out, they surely know no team in football (sports, really) has been more reliant on one position since Don Majkowski injured his ankle in 1992.
But this is the franchise player, the one Green Bay needs for years.
So those running the franchise — even with a Super Bowl run within reach in 2013 — are not going to gamble with a cracked bone.
"I mean, it's just something that we can't really deal with because obviously we see him out there practicing and he looks great," cornerback Tramon Williams said. "But at the same time, you know that he has an injury that could go at any point, if he takes the wrong fall. I mean, that's part of the league.
"Some guys play injured, some guys don't. But at the end of the day, it's up to the organization. As your franchise quarterback, a guy who's going to be here a long time, I guess the last thing you want to do is rush him back out there. So I'm fully behind the decision."
Many fans, surprise, are not. With frustration mounting outside the building, players insist they're OK with any "organizational" decision inside the building.
Even as undrafted players coaches never expected to count on scatter the field.
"We won against Dallas with Matt Flynn," veteran Jarrett Bush said, "so we have all the confidence in him to come in there and win any game. So regardless of who lines up underneath the center, we've got the utmost confidence in our teammates. So man for man, that's how we are."
"He's the franchise quarterback, the best player on this team," Bush said. "So you can't really question their judgment. If they say he's not ready, he's not ready."
Added tight end Ryan Taylor, "I know that in the locker room, guys have all the confidence in the world in Matt. And we're just going to keep playing like that. When Aaron gets healthy and comes back, it'll be great to have him. But right now, we all have Matt's back and I thought he's been playing very well."
True, Flynn has played well enough to set up a winner-takes-all, NFC North championship at Soldier Field. Down in Philadelphia, the Chicago Bears were egged on national television.
Hope isn't dead yet in Green Bay. Players believe in Flynn. And, hey, maybe the Packers do have enough energy left to win one more game.
But as long as No. 12 is on the sideline, it's hard seeing this season lasting much longer.
