Day 7 & 8 - I think
... a well maintained, paved walking path. I'm sure there are usually 1000s if people, but at times I found myself alone in the high cavern. This is one of the "must see" NPs. The tour was very good, and had the maximum number of 50 people. After the tour, I decided to walk backup the way I came and had even more time to myself. A very impressive National Park. After a lot of back-and-forth with myself, I decided ...

drunk men on one side calling across to drunk women on a balcony on
the other side. Hot dog vendors pushing their carts up the street, a
tap dancing pre-teen, a man carrying a large tuba. Everyone walking

We arrived in Little Rock again by beer time. This has turned out to be one of the nicest Best Westerns, had a restaurant and bar.

Only unions mean real worker involvement
Worker involvement is currently the biggest thing in health and safety, says the TUC. But Hugh Robertson, the union body's head of safety, has warned the positive chatter from enforcers and employers is not always translating into meaningful consultation at the workplace. Writing in Hazards magazine, he says companies 'are falling over themselves to ensure they engage the workforce on safety issues' and notes worker involvement is a key part of the Health and Safety Executive's 2009 strategy. But Robertson says the problem is that 'worker involvement' means different things to different people - and in some instances, that can mean problems. 'For unions it is about using consultative processes to empower people to have a genuine say in safety issues - but recognising too that the relationship between the employer and employee is an unequal one and that the responsibility to create a safe workplace lies with the employer,' he writes. He highlights evidence showing genuine union involvement delivers more effective training, meaningful participation and safer, healthier workplaces. But he warns that some employer initiatives do not have such virtuous motives, instead being 'about trying to shift responsibility away from management. Some are intended to undermine the role of unions.' He adds that 'the union safety effect' is well-established and should be expanded so the positive impact of union safety reps is harnessed in non-union and small firms. Robertson concludes 'employers and the government must change their attitude to unions and start seeing unions as an asset that can help make real reductions in both injury and ill-health in the workplace.'

What I did
Manta Rays!!!!
Our journey from the southern tip of Bali to the island of Nusa Lembongan took just under 2 hours. We took the cheap local boat and it was fine but we did come across the famous swells the area is known for. Luckily we don't get sea sick so we were fine but all that was about to change in the course of the next few days.
As we arrived on to the beach we both realized that we did not know the name of our guesthouse. It is ridiculous how relaxed we have become about these things. If there are any employers out there reading this, please give us 6 months to find our brain cells again because I think we left them on a boat somewhere in Laos!
Eventually we found out where we were laying our heads and the place was beautiful with a fantastic pool
The island itself is very small with hardly any motorized traffic at all. I absolutely loved the place. It is one of my favourite islands on the whole trip and yet it does not have great beaches and there is not that much to do apart from dive and surf. It just had this great vibe about it. Probably because most people were there to do sports so after waking up early and going diving or surfing all day, people would congregate on the beach at a chilled out bar to watch the blood red sunset, have a few beers, some dinner and then early to bed to be ready for the next day's adventures. My type of island! Apart from tourism the locals make their living from seaweed farming which is used in shampoo and other cosmetics. The beach was always a hive of activity with the entire village helping out in some way with the seaweed collecting. It was fantastic to see and yet again the locals were lovely.
The undoubted highlight of the island though was the MANTA RAYS!!! We booked a dive to the fabled Manta Point where there is a high probability that you will encounter these beautiful animals
I've been diving for 9 years, I've dived in loads of different locations and with each dive I've done, I've had a single wish – to see the beautiful, mythical Manta rays. So far, they'd eluded me in every dive I'd done, but finally it looked like my dream was about to be realised. With a name like Manta Point, the dive site we were sailing to sounded extremely promising.
A single manta ray was all I wanted, I would have been ecstatic. Imagine then how I felt when all throughout the hour's dive these amazing creatures constantly swam right above me, at arm's reach in groups of 3 or 4
As they were swimming at a relatively shallow depth, we could see the sun rays under water. One of the most magical moments was when a baby manta, about a metre in diameter swam right where the rays were hitting the water, and started doing back-flips, keeping its mouth wide open to filter the plankton that permeates this part of the ocean. It was one of those moments that will live with me forever. One that will never cease to make me smile whenever I think about it.
After spending about an hour in the water, our dive guide signalled for us to start ascending. As if on cue a group of 10 (yes 10!!!) mantas swam right in front of us, turning up as they came near us to avoid hitting us as if to say, 'goodbye, hope you've enjoyed the show'. It was a grand finale that had us all enraptured with a very wide grin on our faces. Simply priceless!
Things weren't so amazing when we finished the dive. Unfortunately Paul started feeling really sick and the rough seas weren't helping. I was really worried as I'd never seen him so sick before. We had to abort the second dive and try to get him to land as soon as possible. Luckily there was a boat that was about to head back to land so we caught a lift with it. It took a while for him to lose the green hue on his face and turn back to normal poor thing
After another idyllic day of relaxing by the pool, strolling along the seafront and sipping beer while watching sunset our time on Lembongan came to an end. We finished our stay in style by dining at a restaurant that has a French chef, who worked at 3 Michelin star restaurant in France. A perfect ending to a perfect stay!
See you on the slow boat to the Gilis!
Lots of love
Karen and Paul

We have some great Queensland tours, just browse in each region that is listed. If you find a tour do please make contact and we will be able to help out. There are many other tours that might not be listed and will suit you.
The Gold Coast is south of Brisbane. One of its main centres is Surfers Paradise and it lives up to its name. The hinterland has some of the most stunning rainforests with graded walking tracks, wonderful birdlife and natural rock pools for a dip.
Brisbane is the capital. It's a big city with all the usual shops, hotels and hostels. It's got a bridge to climb and the views from the Storey Bridge over Brisbane are spectacular.
The Sunshine Coast is about an hour's drive north of Brisbane. Here you'll discover some 100 kilometres of dazzling beaches. You can swim in sheltered bays, rivers or the ocean.
A must for most backpackers to visit the largest sand island in the world. Best done on a group tour as hard to manage on your own.
Bundaberg is halfway up the Queensland coast and the start of the Great Barrier Reef. Lady Musgrave Island and 1770 are favourite destinations.
Rockhampton is the big city in this area and Great Keppel Island the popular backpacker island.
Lots of islands to explore and sailing trips ot be had. Airlie Beach is the mainland base for the Whitsundays and has a very active backpacking scene.
Townsville is the main city in the north of Queensland and a base for some Great Barrier Reef tours.
The Great Barrier Reef has been called one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It's big. Nearly 3000 reefs and almost 1000 islands stretching nearly 3000 kilometres off the Queensland coast.
This state has some catchy slogans. It's called the Sunshine State where in mid-winter temperatures are around 25C. And then there's "Ah Queensland, be autiful one day, perfect the next". I think you get the picture. Queensland can lay claim to being the holiday state as well with enough tourism brochures to sink a yacht.
Now all the spots mentioned have been on the coast or pretty close to the sea. But Queensland has so much to see and do inland. Toowoomba and the Darling Downs, Kingaroy for peanuts and the Qantas Museum at Longreach are just three well-worth-seeing areas in this sunny, tropical state.
Queensland is Australia's second largest state, covering 1,722,000 km2 and the third most populous.. The total coastline is 7,400 km and just in the Mackay Region alone you will find 31 beaches. Access to Queensland from overseas is via Cairns in the north of Queensland and in the south of Queensland via Brisbane. Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and a good place to find work or as a starting base. Brisbane is very close to the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, two major coastal areas in Queensland, Australia.
So leave yourself plenty of time - You could spend time backpacking in Queensland for months on end and still not see it all. This state is not surprisingly named Australia's "sunshine state". Weather conditions can vary greatly between the coastal plain and the inland areas to the west so make certain to pack for the right season. Winters are warm and sunny with cool nights and summer much hotter and humid in tropical north Queensland.
We do suggest that you book your Queensland tours prior to arrival into the destination. To begin your Queensland adventure have a look at the locations to the left and view tours in those areas or use the search to find what you are looking for.Enjoy your Australia holiday in Queensland.

FROM: Marilyn Katz, Chicagoans Against War and Injustice, 312-822-0505, firstname.lastname@example.com [1]
Over 40 of 50 Alderman Already Supportive
Citing the failure of the Bush Administration to substantiate their basis for going to war and the rising cost of the war in Iraq in terms of both lives and dollars, Chicago Aldermen Helen Shiller, Freddrena Lyle and Gene Schulter today introduced a resolution into the ChicagoCity Council calling on the 'United States government to immediately commence an orderly and rapid withdrawal of United States military personnel from Iraq to prevent further casualties, both American and Iraqi, resulting from a misguided and unjustified war.'
The 'Resolution Urging a Cessation of Combat Operations in Iraq and the Return of U.S. Troops' begins by outlining the claims upon which the Bush Administration sent the nation to war and its failure to prove their claims of either the presence of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons or any ties to Al Qaeda despite the president's legal responsibility to do so as a first premise for the call for cessation of war .
The Resolution then goes on to describe the cost of the war in terms of lives, including not only the l700 American lives lost, but also the 100,000 Iraqis killed (as estimated by the British Medical journal,Lancet), since the 2003 invasion, and dollars - more than $200 billion, including $2.1 billion of Chicago tax payer dollars.
Introducing the resolution, Alderman Gene Schulter said, it is time for the nation's local elected leaders to speak up for those they represent. When in January 2003 Chicago led the more than 135 cities throughout the nation by passing a resolution that voiced our opposition to a war that we felt was unnecessary, unjustified and misguided, we were told by those in Washington, that cities did not have the knowledge to make that call. Yet, today, two years and thousands of lives later, we know not only that we were right in doubting the claims of the Administration, but also that the war in Iraq would be fought with the lives of our city's youth and on the backs of our city's residents.
As the resolution explains not only have four Chicagoans have been killed, scores more have been injured and more than $2.1 billion Chicago-tax dollars have gone into the war coffers.
Alderman Freddrena Lyle was explicit about needing to bring the troops and dollars home. 'War is not an abstraction to the people of Chicago- they feel it when funds for public safety, schools, housing are denied their neighborhoods. They feel it when there are cutbacks in college funds for their kids, but an army recruiter at every high school in the Black and Latino community. They feel it when their friend, neighbor or relative sends them the awful news that one more youth has been cut down - in a war built on false premises, in an army built on false promises.'
According to the National Priorities Project the funds spent by Chicago taxpayers on the war and occupation in Iraq could have provided the following: 238,056 children attending Head Start for one year; or medical insurance for one year for 1,076,242 children; or 31,147 public school teachers for one year; or 16,183 additional housing units.
Alderman Helen Shiller, who began her political life more than 30 years ago protesting the war in Vietnam, spoke about the rising tide of public dissatisfaction and disbelief. 'The action that we take today is consistent with the will of the American people, who in increasing numbers have come to the inescapable conclusions that not only did the Bush Administration mislead the country on the reasons for war, but that the Administration's actions have rendered us less secure than ever before.'
In closing the resolution states that it joins members of the Illinois Congressional in their opposition to the war and calls on the city council to resolve:
1. That the City Council of Chicago, on behalf of the citizens of Chicago, urges the United States government to immediately commence an orderly and rapid withdrawal of United States military personnel from Iraq to prevent further casualties, both American and Iraqi, resulting from a misguided and unjustified war.
2. That the City Council of Chicago, recognizing that the stability of Iraq is crucial to the security of the citizens of Chicago and to all Americans, urges the United States government to provide the people of Iraq with all necessary non-military material aid as shall be necessary for the security of Iraq's citizens and for the rebuilding of the devastation wrought by United States military action.
3. That the City Council of Chicago, recognizing that the financial resources used to prosecute the war in Iraq have inevitably come at a severe cost to necessary health, education, and security funding at home, and that these costs have been borne disproportionately by residents of America's great urban centers, urges that these resources be redirected to urgent needs among the most vulnerable portions of our population.
The Aldermen said that the resolution is being circulated to all Council members for their sign-on and that various peace groups, including Chicagoans Against War and Injustice, Peace Pledge Chicago, the American Friends Service Committee, Logan Square Neighbors for Peace, Hyde Park Neighbors for Peace, Women for Democracy and Fair Elections and Lincoln Park Neighbors for Peace and others will be passing petitions in support of the resolution and the hoped for action of the City Council as protectors of the lives and resources of the people of Chicago.
Ann-Breen Greco, of Women for Democracy and Fair Elections said her group will do everything possible to support the aldermen. 'On the one hand Bush's ill- conceived and brutal actions in Iraq have created not only a recruiting ground not only for terrorists, On the other hand,Bush's combination of tax cuts for the wealthy and war payments for the poor, have left communities bereft of the real security that only education, health care, public safety and job security can bring. This war, which has been a disaster for Iraq and the United States, must end.'
Additional Note from Alderman Joe Moore 7/29/2005:
As you know, a number of Aldermen introduced a resolution in the City Council on Wednesday calling for an "orderly and rapid withdrawal of United States military personnel from Iraq. In drafting the resolution, we borrowed heavily from a bipartisan resolution currently pending in Congress and a proposal drafted by Ann Breen-Greco and others. Aldermen Helen Shiller and Gene Schulter were especially instrumental in securing the signatures of 40 of our colleagues. This is a remarkable feat and underscores the growing dissatisfaction with the war in all neighborhoods in our city.
The following aldermen have NOT signed the resolution
Manuel 'Manny" Flores (1st Ward) [Not present at Wednesday's meeting.]
Dorothy Tillman (3rd Ward) [Supportive, but didn't have a chance to sign]
John Pope (10th Ward)
James Balcer (11th Ward) [Only Alderman to vote against 2003 Iraq War Resolution]
Ed Burke (14th Ward) Thomas Murphy (18th Ward) Virginia Rugai (19th Ward)
Walter Burnett (27th Ward) [Not present at Wednesday's meeting]
Theodore Matlock (32nd Ward)
Brian Doherty (41st Ward) [City Council's lone Republican ]
The resolution was referred to the City Council Committee on Human Relations, chaired by Alderman Billy Ocasio (26th Ward). That is the same committee that considered and passed the January 2003 resolution opposing a pre-emptive military invasion of Iraq. We hope to pass the current resolution at the next City Council meeting, which will be held on Wednesday, September 14th. Hearings on the resolution will be held before then. I will let you know when the date for the hearings is set.
Current Full Text of the Resolution:
WHEREAS, The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 was passed by the U.S. Congress on October 11,2002, and that Public Law 107-243 cited Iraq's possession of weapons of mass destruction as a primary reason for the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq; and

Fatemeh Haghighatjoo
Fatemeh Haghighatjoo, also spelled Haghighatjou and Haqiqatju (Persian: فاطمه حقیقتجو) (born 29 December 1968/8 Dey 1347) is a reformist and a former member of the Iranian Parliament.
Fatemeh Haghighatjoo, Ph.D., is a leading advocate for a civil, democratic society in Iran, one that grants freedom of speech, human rights, women's rights, academic freedom, and a free press. She was a member of Iran's reformist Majlis (parliament) from 2000 to 2004. After a losing struggle for reform in the parliament, her resignation was accepted as the first of several members on February 23, 2004.
Before entering politics, Haghighatjoo was a psychologist and head of the Student Psychological Consultant Center of Iran University of Science and Technology.[1] She has held professorships at Tehran University [2] and Shahid Beheshti University,[3] formerly known as the National University of Iran. She has authored a book entitled Search for Truth (published in Persian in 2002).
In 2005, Dr. Haghighatjoo completed her Ph.D. in Counseling from Tarbiat Moallem University [4] in Tehran, Iran.
Almost immediately after being awarded her Ph.D., Haghighatjoo left Iran for the United States with her husband, a journalist, and their daughter. They arrived in Boston in September 2005.
She was honored as a Young Global Leader in 2005 by the World Economic Forum.[5]
Shortly after arriving in the United States, Haghighatjoo became a fellow at MIT's Center for International Studies.[6] The following year, she was a fellow at Harvard University's Women and Public Policy Program.[7] While at MIT and Harvard, Haghighatjoo worked on a revision of Iran's constitution. She continues this effort while also working in Iran's reform movement.
After that, she taught women's studies courses at The University of Connecticut [8] at Storrs during the academic year of 2007-2008. One of them was called Women in Iran; the other was called Gender in Global Perspective.
In 2008, Haghighatjoo became a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Women in Politics & Public Policy, located at the John W. McCormack Graduate School of Policy Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston.[9] She is currently working on an initiative called Women's Leadership in a Global Perspective,[10] which includes a week-long training program in Boston. In addition, Dr. Haghighatjoo is currently a part-time faculty member at UMass Boston, where she teaches a course called Women in Global Perspective for the Women's Studies program.
In 2010, Fatemeh Haghighatjoo became a co-founding chair of the Nonviolent Initiative for Democracy, Inc. (NID).[11]
Currently, Dr. Haghighatjoo works on defining "state feminism" in Iran, which is the institutionalization of women's issues there, to how it both promotes and limits women's position there. She has published a book chapter and several papers on the Iranian women's movement. She is also working on a book manuscript, a memoir of her life and career, entitled A Voice for Truth.
Dr. Haghighatjoo has been extensively interviewed and quoted by the international media, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, BBC Persian TV and Radio, Voice of America, CNN, and others. Since arriving in the United States, she has given numerous talks regarding efforts at forming a civil society in her native Iran, as well as women's rights and internal politics in Iran.

Nine years ago, now-Grammy Award winning rapper Macklemore wondered about his place in hip-hop. He'd probably done that for years, but this time he put it in a song called "White Privilege." Its hook included the line: "I said I'm gonna be me, so please be who you are / but we still owe 'em 40 acres now we've stolen their 16 bars."
Those bars have since made the Seattle-based MC the most popular mainstream rap act in recent years, a fact that was underscored last night when he and producer Ryan Lewis walked away with the Grammy awards for best song, best new album and best new artist. And after last night's big wins, the rapper's tune changed. "I understand how certain people have said, 'Oh, it's the white, gay-promoting rapper from Seattle. That's weird, he doesn't belong here.' It is what it is, it's always going to be that. But it is hip-hop music. I'm just trying to push the art, push the genre."
The success that Macklemore's had with pushing the genre, paired with his vocal awareness that his being white played a huge role in his success, brings up a question that my colleague Aura Bogado succinctly brought up on Facebook: Does he represent an indictment of white supremacy -- or a celebration of it?
It's what many black hip-hop fans find irksome about him, the fact that this 30-year-old white guy has gained so much notoriety for making a black art form palatable for white listeners. He raps of thrift stores and marriage equality and, don't get me wrong, it's good music, catchy; dude is undeniably good at his craft. But he wears his white privilege like one of his ironic fur coats, a gaudy reminder to show how the music industry's racial inequities are still stubbornly in place.
He made headlines even before the show began when it was announced that Queen Latifah would marry dozens of gay couple's during Macklemore's performance of "Same Love," his celebration of marriage equality. It was a move so calculated that you couldn't help but roll your eyes, even if the intention was to put gay couples at the center of music's biggest moment. It was, in many ways, too calculated, too obvious, a move that did little to shift attention to the plight of the black artists who are regularly screwed over by the industry that has so openly embraced Macklemore's music. Perhaps a more meaningful act would have been to share the stage with a black queer artist, anyone from Angel Haze and New York-based rapper Le1f, who's openly criticized him for profiting off of the plight of the LGBT community.
But I digress.
Macklemore's whiteness has been a topic of conversation at least since he burst onto the national stage with his hit 2012 record "The Heist." He's addressed it directly in interviews with refreshing honesty. "We made a great album," he said to Rolling Stone last year of the hit album he made with white producer Ryan Lewis, "but I do think we have benefited from being white and the media grabbing on to something. A song like 'Thrift Shop' was safe enough for the kids."
And that's what makes his success so hard to stomach for some black listeners who want to see their realities reflected and celebrated at music's highest levels with a big win at this year's Grammy awards. He's calling out the systemic inequity in the music industry and is aware of how he's benefiting from it.
It's not just black fans that are conflicted. Days before the Grammy Awards, Vulture quoted a source close to the star-studded affair who described how many of the rap committee's members didn't want Macklemore included in the categories for best rap song and album because his music's more pop than hip-hop. "It's not that they don't think he's a rapper," said the source. "It's just that when you're trying to protect categories and someone has become popular, it should be judged as much. ... Where does their music exist? Who are their fans?"
Those fans, according to the New York Times's Jon Caramanica, are "hip-hop aware" but not "hip-hop exclusive." In other words, they're white.
Caramanica wondered aloud about the authenticity of a hip-hop moment that featured predominately white artists like Macklemore and Baauer (whose song "Harlem Shake" soundtracked much of 2012). He notes that where Macklemore differs from other white rappers like Eminem, Yelawolf and Machine Gun Kelly is that his "rapping is merely a tool to advance ideas that are not connected to hip-hop to an audience that doesn't mind receiving them under a veneer of hip-hop cool."
To be fair, it's a well-known fact that white kids love hip-hop. But what sets Macklemore apart is how willing he is to actually talk about how his privilege informs his popularity. A well-intentioned white artist can still, half a century after Elvis, suddenly become the face of a historically black art form. His intention may not have been to do that, but the impact stays the same. In the end, it's important to keep in mind that it takes more than awareness to create real change. And, frustratingly, Macklemore knows, too. Again, here's "White Privilege": "Hip-hop started off on a block that I've never been to / To counteract a struggle I've never even been through / If I think I understand just because I flow, too? / That means that I'm not keeping it true."

Senate sends Conn. judge to US appeals court
HARTFORD, Conn.—The U.S. Senate has unanimously confirmed the nomination of Federal District Court Judge Christopher Droney to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Sens. Joe Lieberman and Richard Blumenthal praised the Senate action late Monday.
Lieberman said Droney's experience as a federal judge, including as a visiting judge on the Second Circuit court, and career in public and private practice make him well-suited for the Appeals Court.
Blumenthal praised Droney's scholarship, intellect and adherence to precedent.
President Barack Obama nominated Droney in May.
Droney, who is from West Hartford, has been federal district judge for Connecticut since he was nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1997. He previously was a lawyer and served as mayor of West Hartford from 1985 to 1989.

Here's the key quote for me from President and CEO of H3tec, Charles Christensen in the MarketingPilgrim blog post:
"I have been building and refining the H3 detector over the last eight years of experimentation. I started out building analog machines that weighed 200 lbs. This version of the detector is the fourteenth iteration of the device and it weighs less than 10 ounces. . . . The next version of the H3 detector will feature full mapping through GPS."
He got the idea from Star Trek's tricorder and the sensor, which detects substances up to two miles. These days apparently the company is talking to Google. The good news? The CEO likes "open:"
Christensen is also keeping the device open to other markets and devices: "I am now designing an ASIC chip set (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) that will be a miniaturized engine with APIs. . . . The APIs will be open to the world of designers so they can use the engine in any application and integrate this engine with existing devices, like the cell phone, weapons systems, and other hand held devices."

Last night my transmission in my 01 got stuck in 4th gear coming off an hour on the interstate. I've known the transmission was on its way to failure, but now I'm worried about driving any farther. A buddy suggested we sea foam the transmission and flush the fluid. Will sea foam potentially unclog the lines mentioned in the "root cause...fix" thread if that's the problem? I know I need to have the transmission rebuilt or replaced, but I'm not currently financially able to do so - is there any hope? It seems the van only really acts up after long highway trips. If I stay at 60 mph and do the sea foam, can I get a few more weeks out of this? Otherwise I may be forced to sell the van. I'm not even sure I'd get enough on a 164k non-working transmission van to make it worth it.
To be clear, I checked the fluid several times recently - no burning or black fluid. Is it possible clogged lines are storing good fluid in a area before the clogged lines and before where it needs to be going?
oh dreaded day...
I can at least take some splice in knowing I have this forum to keep me company.

|Wednesday March 5, 2003
The Opposition yesterday pledged to pour $200 million into a series of upgrades for the Princes Highway along most of the NSW South Coast.
The money, to be spent over five years, would fund improvement along the highway from Albion Park Rail, south of Wollongong to Eden, just above the Victorian border.
It would be used to extend the dual carriageway all the way to the Jervis Bay turn-off, easing holiday and weekend congestion, as well as bypass the major town centres of Bega and Ulladulla.
Improvements for bridges and accident black spots are also planned.
Making the announcement on the roadside south of Nowra yesterday, the Opposition Leader, John Brogden, accused the Government of "eight years of neglect" of the highway.
"This is a major plank of our roads policy," he said.
"There have been 6500 accidents over the past 10 years and 4000 casualties. That is a strong enough indication that something needs to be done," he said, citing accident figures from an NRMA report on the highway.
Since 1997, accidents on the highway have increased by 17 per cent and injuries by 14 per cent.
Mr Brogden was accompanied by the Liberal candidates for the key electorates that straddle the highway from Wollongong to Victoria.
These included Danielle Jones, standing in Kiama, Shelley Hancock, for the South Coast, and Andrew Constance, standing for the southern seat of Bega.
But Mr Brogden denied the announcement was aimed simply at shoring up support for the Coalition in the region.
Ms Hancock, who needs just a 0.5 per cent swing to win, said the highway and the state of local hospitals were the two main poll issues in her seat. She said the most dangerous sections of the highway were well known to locals, who remembered each of the accidents they had caused.
A sharp bend just south of Sussex Inlet, known as Heggo's Corner, was "littered with crosses" marking deaths, she said.
Local newspapers from Wollongong to Ulladulla have also highlighted the state of the highway.
Mr Brogden and the Opposition's spokesman on roads, John Turner, toured parts of the highway last October. The Labor MP for the South Coast, Wayne Smith, said yesterday that Labor had already committed $380million over 10 years to the road.
He called on the Federal Government to contribute under the Roads of National Importance scheme, through which the Federal Government contributes to state road-building projects deemed to be of national significance.
"If we can get the Federal Government to recognise it and stump some of the funding, then we can get even more done, then we can talk about getting a dual carriageway down to the border," he said.
"It's just politics, [the Federal Government] doesn't want to contribute because it's a Labor seat."
Mr Smith said the number of fatalities caused by car accidents on the Princes Highway had fallen from 151 between 1982 and 1991 to 105 between 1992 and last year.
The NSW Transport Minister, Carl Scully, accused the Coalition of making promises it would be unable to fund if it won government.
"He will cancel today's commitment if he is in government. He cannot deliver it," Mr Scully said.
Mr Brogden dismissed demands for a Federal Government contribution, saying Mr Scully bore responsibility for the highway.

The Love/Hate Music News Report 11.22.12: Thanksgiving!
The introduction is the last part of the column that I write, and I'm typing it up before 10 AM. I'm about to go on an eight-hour long car ride, and I don't think I'm going to want to do any writing when I'm done. If any big news breaks on Wednesday and you're wondering why I'm not covering it, that's why. Also, happy Turkey Day and welcome to The Love/Hate News Report. But enough about that.
In this column, I will six pieces of news and offer context, levity, and humor where appropriate. The only criteria I have for selecting stories is whether I care about the subject matter or not. I'm a dude in my mid-twenties, so don't expect me to indulge in too much celebrity gossip.
411mania's comment system has been overhauled to provide more instant feedback, so feel free to express your opinion on any of the pieces in this column. I don't moderate comments, but I encourage folks to proofread their comments and not waste their time posting inappropriate material. In other words, if you disagree with something I've written, please phrase your discontent in a manner that makes you sound like an adult.
Anyway, let's get down to business…
Most news items are from 411 Music's newswire.
The Catchiest Video About Rail Safety You Will Ever See
Either I'm all ready for a mini-vacation or everyone else is, as there is very little shit that has happened in the last seven days that I care about. The AMAs? Eh, whatever, call me when the Grammys happen (those are really fun to talk about). Taylor Swift admitted that she writes about her exes a lot? Oh, no, she said what we were all thinking! The nerve! Justin Bieber's "Baby" video reaching eight hundred million views (no, really) was almost newsworthy enough to be worth reporting on.
Then this happened:
So remember, folks: getting hit by a train is a bad idea. And so is playing with beehives. And…pressing red buttons. Huh.
Lana Del Rey Is Either Stupid Or Losing Her Grip On Reality
I've been doing what I do for a long time. I've had a life. I don't need to create a persona to live through.
411mania commenter Paul Roma (I'm just going to assume that he is the actual Paul Roma, as he seems like the kind of guy who would have bookmarked 411mania): " Says the person who changed their name to "Lana Del Rey" and her look and her style of music. But yeah, you don't need a persona." Actually, it is worse than Roma makes it out to be, as her initial stage name was May Jailer. And some people wonder why I give her so much shit.
Say, what does New Jack think of Lizzy Grant's latest remarks?
That's what I figured.
Check Out This Free, Legal Music, Part One
If there's anything I've learned about my audience, it is that most of you love Lil B. The guy's music resonates with y'all, though this is more often due to his provocative and thought-provoking lyrics than his underrated, beautiful flow. Unfortunately, the Based God didn't bless us with any new music this week.
But he did bless us with the first single from his cat!
Oh my goodness! What a wonderous display of errant splendicity! Lil B's cat truly is a blessed being from the heavens! My life is complete!
Oh, and Monarchy by Mosh is free, and it is pretty good. BUT CHECK OUT THAT CAT'S SICK RHYME SCHEMES!
Oh, Look, The Dude Who Did The "Friday" Video Has Taken On Christmas
Last week, Patrice Wilson put out another bowel movement disguised as a music video. Entitled "It's Thanksgiving", the damn thing sucked, but it sucked in the usual amusing way that most of the dude's videos suck. "Friday" sucks, sure, but that thing is a fountain of memes, and while no one will mistake "It's Thanksgiving" for a good song or video, it is jam-packed with things to make fun of. This makes the almost-obligatory follow-up video, Lexi St. George's (don't worry, I don't know who she is, either) "Last Christmas", so much worse.
The song is almost not bad, and both it and the video go through usual pop tropes in an acceptable fashion. The problem, though, is that there is nothing to get anyone worked up here, as evidenced by its relatively lackluster view count—the song isn't good enough to be considered, well, good, but it also isn't bad enough to revisit and mock. I don't really want anyone to make something deliberately bad, but c'mon, dude, either know your limitations or have a crew of ninjas show up and wreck shit. It won't make sense, but at least it will be entertaining.
Check Out This Free, Legal Music, Part Two
Nobody knows who Captain Murphy is. Educated guesses towards his identity have ranged from DOOM to Flying Lotus to Tyler, the Creator, with the possibility of him being a new artist being tossed aside by almost everyone due to how fully formed his music sounds. The man himself has vehemently denied all guesses and has made it known that he does not appreciate that his identity has dominated the conversation surrounding him and his music. Those hoping that his Duality mixtape would clarify matters had to have been disappointed when it was released late last week. Actually, it isn't a mixtape—it is an art film. Sort of.
You can watch it here, but you should know that it is definitely not safe for work. Credit must be given where it is due that the parts where clips of the Heaven's Gate tapes are played are the least-unsettling parts of the film. It's good, don't get me wrong, but the visuals are pretty fucked up.
Deaths In Music This Week
Pete Namlook, an electronic music producer, passed away on November 8. The man had released well over one hundred albums in his life and founded the German record label FAX. The cause of his passing has not been announced, and notice of his death was only given in the past week. He was 51.
On behalf of 411mania, I extend my condolences to the friends and family of the deceased.
And with that, we've come to this week's playlist. I'm embedding the To The Moon soundtrack. Why? Because I can. Enjoy.

No doubt that the 357 would be harsher, but the beauty of the 357 is you can carry 38's in it, so its a more versitle gun IMO. She really likes my SP101 357, but wants something lighter, so whats compairable, but lighter to the SP101?Originally Posted by Gideon
I used to have a 642. It kicks quite a bit, and with higher grain loads, my hand would be sore after 5 shots. Painful to practice with, yet requires extra practice since it it harder to be accurate with.
Make sure she tries it out first.
Proud member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy:
The regular 642 (what I have) has a little different finish and shorter, Uncle Mike's boot grips. I used mine to qualify for my permit and it's great for carry IWB or in a jacket pocket. I don't mind the recoil at all but I know lots of folks do. I'd think if you & she decide on the 642LS just keep in mind the trigger can be smoothed out and Pachmeyers (sp?) added later if needed.
Around here the 640 runs a good bit more expensive than the 642 but that and the 60 are all steel so shooting .38spl (std. or +P) should be lighter in recoil with the extra weight.
Sorry if I offended any, certainly didn't mean too! I should have chosen a more eloquent way of expressing my perception. And, after all, it's only my perception or opinion and we all know what one man's opinion is generally worthgideon , you do us a disservice here , tho i agree with a lot of what you said i dont agree with the statement " I can sense a subconsious desire on this site and others, to get people into bigger guns because of personal bias"
I guess what I've noticed is how devoted carryer's tend to congrugate around forums like this because of a common interest and I would guess they tend to carry larger weapons and shoot the larger calibers on the whole. So I could see why when asked for opinions they might recommend what they'd consider to be more ideal calibers and platforms that for others can be too large or too heavy. So I stand properly chastised
And I have to agree with one of the last posts about the .357. It would give the flexibility of starting with the .38 and she could alwasy move up...
God Bless

Atlas Summit 2012 -- The heroes of Atlas Shrugged are rational, productive businesspeople. In Ayn Rand's thought, a career represents the central value in one's life, the means by which one supports oneself independently and reshapes the world.

Atlas Summit 2012 -- In this talk on free will, David Kelley focuses, not on the classic issue of how freedom of choice relates to causal determinism, but on the inner experience of freedom. We experience free will in many forms and contexts. To explore this variety, he discusses three particular modes of experience: self-control of impulse, meditation, and flow. What are the similarities and differences among these experiences? In which of them do we experience free will most clearly? In addressing these questions, Kelley draws on the Objectivist theory of volition and on the work of psychologists. Read Article : The Experience of Freedom

Are you ready for a little more closer talk?
Lots and lots of Papelbon here this week, and the folks seem to be divided. Some are with me (Papelbon is a terrific pitcher but no closer is worth $13-15 million a year) but I was surprised how many emailers were comfortable with the prospect of losing the best closer in franchise history. Well, when you've got a proven commodity like Daniel Bard I guess it's okay to be cavalier. He's been getting it done forever, right?
Not just Papelbon in the last bag of the summer, as we debate Mayday vs. The Bloody Sock for the Senate and I take another shot at the Pink Hats. Plus I learn some horrifying news about Nicole Kidman but find a silver lining with the help of an old friend.
To the 'bag we go (and, as always, feel free to email away to firstname.lastname@example.com)…
Think the Yankees end up with Papelbon, Kirk? Rivera should be gone by 2011, right?
Come on, you and I know the Yankees are going to sign Papelbon. It'll work out perfectly. Rivera goes and Papelbon comes in to close. Bet they pay him a dollar less a year than Rivera made to keep the old school Yankees fan happy, but I bet it happens.
A: We've heard this before, of course. Why not? I guess it's possible. I do think that it would have been the kind of move the Yankees would have made when George still had his fastball. But I bet the new regime (Hal and Cashman) will never pay a closer not named Mariano Rivera anything near $15 million a season. Sure, they'll overspend to get the guys they want, but it'll be for starting pitching or a power bat (see 2008 offseason).
Plus I'm not so sure Rivera will be done after 2011. He had the best season of his career in 2008 and is having another terrific year (.907 WHIP, 1.83 ERA) in 2009. It really did seem that after a mediocre (by his standard) 2007 season (worst marks as a closer in WHIP, hits per nine innings and ERA+) that the end might be in sight, but I think he has re-established himself as the best in closer in the game. This is getting into the highest of high cotton, but I think Rivera has to be considered an all-time top ten Yankee, right?
1. Babe Ruth
2. Lou Gehrig
4. Joe D
5. Yogi Berra
6. Derek Jeter
7. Rivera
8. Whitey Ford
9. Bernie Williams
10. Bill Dickey
Seems about right, no? Maybe I should have Whitey a little higher, but that's about it. A great career, unmatched for a closer. (I think Honus Wagner and Rivera are the only no-argument best players ever at their position. Sorry, forgot about Ruth.) Rivera is 39 years old. Papelbon would need to keep up his current level of production until 2020 to even have an argument. Think that's going to happen?
"We'll give Mariano Rivera top postseason billing based on the volume of work, but no one else gets a better seat than Papelbon."
Wow, you're willing to admit that Mariano, who has saved five times the post-season games Paps has, is better? You're willing to go out on a limb and stipulate that Mo's SO/BB ratio in the postseason (5.8) is better than Paps (3.7)? You're a big enough man to give Mo the four World Series rings to Pap's one?
Wow. Your magnanimity and lack of bias knows no bounds. Clearly, Mo's postseason advantage is sheer *volume*.
If Papelbon continues pitching like he did from 06-08 for another, say, 15 years, it'll start to become difficult to tell him apart from Mariano in October. The '09 season so far can't make a fan particularly optimistic.
A: I don't know about lack of bias, Hnice. I spent most of last week defending my claim that Jim Rice couldn't hold Derek Jeter's jock, so I think it's tough to suggest I'm in the bag for the Red Sox. I write one semi-positive column on a Red Sox player and suddenly I'm the love child of Dennis Drinkwater and Cyn Donnelly.
Papelbon has pitched 25 innings in his postseason career and allowed no earned runs. There is no doubt that he has a long way to go to reach Rivera status (117.2 innings pitched with a 0.77 ERA), but I think it's already fair to put him at number two on the playoff closer list. Who's been better?
Eck: 3.00 ERA, 1.056 WHIP
Fingers: 2.35 ERA, 1.169 WHIP
Gossage: 2.87 ERA, .837 WHIP
Papelbon: 0.00 ERA, .640 WHIP
True, Papelbon is still in the first act of his career. He could give up six runs in two innings during this postseason and never throw a playoff pitch again. Who knows? But right now I think only Rivera ranks above him.
Most decent batters can gear up for the fastball and get a hit, as has been the case this year. To make this long comment even longer, I'll say that Pap's demand for money is all based on his 2006-2007 seasons, and his true test will be longevity. In these days when closers come out of the woodwork for a year throwing nothing but fire, and then get lit up when batters figure them out, a guy like Mo is even more impressive. I think next year will be Pap's hardest test yet, and will determine his payday.
A: Yup, totally agree that if Papelbon had put up 2009 numbers in 2006 and 2007 he probably would've already signed a fairly reasonable long-term deal by now. You know, somewhere between eight and ten million bucks a year (more than I'd ever pay for 60 innings worth of work, but you get the point), fitting nicely in the neighborhood of the second group of elite closers (non-Nathan, K-Rod and Rivera division). But his numbers in 2006 and 2007 were so strong that they buried any chance of securing Papelbon long-term, not dissimilar to Ryan Howard, who could play 20 years, hit 600 home runs and never have a year as good as his 2006 season. He's been an All-Star level player since, but he's making 18 mil a year based on what he did three years ago. Take that season out of his career and he's a 12-15 million dollar player.
Really? Saito? Maybe you haven't heard but he needed Tommy John last year and instead of having the surgery he "rehabbed." His ligament is shredded so as you're seeing this year, he's only available one out of every three days, at the most. Last I checked you might need a more reliable closer when you're talking about closing out wins for the Boston Red Sox...we're not talking the Kansas City Royals here.
Additionally, Papelbon's demise hasn't just been this year...you can spout off all of the stats you want, but the real proof is the eye test. Do you ever feel REALLY comfortable when he comes in to close a game? I don't. Trade him this offseason, get a bat to help this aging lineup, Wagner closes in '10, Bard takes over in '11.
Parts Unknown
A: I guess I was always okay with wrestlers being from "Parts Unknown," but I never understood the "weight unknown" part of it. The Missing Link couldn't stand on a scale for five seconds? He was really that nuts? I'm not buying it. And some guys were from Parts Unknown but did have an announced weight. Maybe Howard Finkel was just screwing with me.
Fair on Saito, but I guess my larger point was that I don't think it would be terribly difficult to find 70-80 percent of the 2009 Papelbon in 2010, 2012 or whenever he leaves. Take a look at the 2009 leaders in saves. You've got guys like Ryan Franklin, Huston Street, Brian Wilson and David Aardsma in the top ten. Would you rather pay K-Rod (3.05 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 28 saves) $9 million or Fernando Rodney (3.28 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 29 saves) just under $3 million? That's why I thought signing Brad Lidge to that deal (three years, $37.5 million) was such a dopey move by the Phillies. Lidge is the kind of guy on whom you buy low, hope it works out, and then sell as high as possible. Is anyone shocked that he's been awful this year? Watch, the Phillies will dump him somewhere next year (probably eating half the salary) and he'll be great for a year or so.
And I know what you mean about the "eye test," but I'll stick with stats. And the stats tell me this: Papelbon isn't the closer he was in 2006 and 2007, but if I told you that Daniel Bard would eventually develop into the Papelbon of 2009 any Red Sox fan should sign for that in a flash. I know he hasn't been untouchable this season, but he's still holding opponents to a .340 slugging percentage. Yes, the walks are up. Yes, he relies on that fastball way too much (Steve Stone referred to him as a "one-pitch pitcher" the other night and I found myself nodding in agreement). And I think he has already had the best season of his career. I would never sign him to a huge deal. But again, he will be missed when he's gone. Not having to worry about the ninth inning is a nice thing.
I'm a big fan of the bag (like the movie callouts, though I hated Zodiac) and I have to give you props on predicting a dim-witted Red Sox closer as the next Senator of Massachusetts in last week's mailbag. Almost got it right (http://www.examiner.com/x-14650-Entertainment-Examiner~y2009m8d27-Will-Ted-Danson-run-for-Ted-Kennedys-Senate-seat).
A: You know what's amazing? This idea makes some sense to me and I have no idea why. I mean, in 1998 I sat in a theatre and heard the audience laugh Danson off the screen in Saving Private Ryan. Now he strikes me as an okay pick for the seat. What happened in those 11 years? I have no clue if he went to college or if he knows anything about health care or Iran or the other 20,000 things a Senator should know about. But he (a) now wears glasses, (b) has let the hair (or toupee) go gray and (c) comes across as a pretty cool guy on Curb Your Enthusiasm. That mixture somehow equals credibility for me. But I'm sure everyone will get blinded by the sex and sizzle of Marty Meehan or Martha Coakley and leave Ted and Mary Steenburgen (still a solid 8.5 at age 56, by the way) wondering what could have been.
Speaking of things I have no idea about, can someone tell me why I'm rooting so hard for Greg Paulus to fail at Syracuse? I know I can't shake the Duke thing, but I'm surprised at how badly I want this kid to throw 11 picks in his first game and never be seen again. What is this about?
I get that $15 million a year is too much for a closer, but I think you are underrating the importance of an ace in the bullpen. I'd sign Papelbon for $10 million a year for four years. If an average starting pitcher can make $15 million a year then a really good closer should be worth $10 million.
A: Well, no one signs a starter for $15 million with the idea that they'll get an "average" level of production (unless you mean Derek Lowe with the Braves, in which case you are exactly right). Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
Let's be kind and assume Papelbon signs for $12 million a year and averages 70 innings a year over the life of a four-year contract. That's about 171 grand for each inning pitched. Josh Beckett has averaged 210 innings pitched per season in his career. If he were to be paid the same amount per inning you'd be looking at a four-year deal worth $144 million. Get my point? These closers are hugely overpriced. Yes, I think there is value in having a first-class stopper in the back of the 'pen. But I just don't see how the math makes sense, I really don't.
Clown Shoes,
First, I think you should start awarding the most ridiculous email of the week with a little clown shoes graphic next to it so people know what to expect. You know, like the little fire symbol on a menu to let you know what to expect.
Billy Wagner joins the Sox bullpen and the first thing that pops into my head is "selfish dink." That is just the thumbnail associated with Wagner to me.
I don't often cross sports, it's an apples and oranges kind of thing, but I'll break that rule for this fruit basket. If winning is not one of the most important things to this guy, we've seen that type before so I am not crying over missing out on the pitching version of Mike Lansing. I was wishing someone would explain to Lansing 2.0 that Trevor Hoffman has 60 more saves than Mo Rivera, but Hoffman will eventually be a sixth-inning trivia question while Mo is immortal. Any time I see a guy with zero championships on his resume who does not seem interested in playing for one I have zero interest in them. Then this backward redneck does something inadvertently intelligent by waiving the no-trade to play the remainder of the year in Boston. Now my world is upside down. Billy, how dare you do something out of character after I have already passed judgment and unfairly labeled you! Stay tuned: same Pap time, same Pap channel for some enthralling tractor talk between the once and current closers.
Beyond that, I knew you'd be eating s**t-burgers as soon as you made the Jeter comment, and I don't want to be the contrarian to temper all the hate mail.....but how disingenuous can we be as Boston fans?
Two Questions....
1. Do you really believe Jeter will be passed over for the Hall of Fame for 15 years and make it by a slim margin in his final year of eligibility?
2. Did you believe Nomar Garciaparra was a better player than Jeter until Jeter crashed into the stands with Nomie sulking on the bench?
If you answer those two questions honestly then you know any argument you make that insinuates Jeter is NOT a better player than Rice is a lost cause because you in fact don't believe it yourself. You also admitted to convincing yourself once that an inferior player was better based on laundry alone. You just never had a Jeter-into-the-stands moment with Rice so that you could conceptualize the difference.
You are likely of the camp that Manny Ramirez was an above-average left-fielder. You are not alone. Yankees fans are on an A.J. Burnett over Josh Beckett kick lately because A.J. has better regular season numbers over the last four seasons than Josh. I didn't even bother to look them up. We have four years of seeing both guys in the AL East and I know which guy I'd put my money on when it matters. If there is any justice, the "Manny is a good fielder" folks will meet the "A.J. Burnett over Beckett" folks in the park for a good old-fashioned rock fight. That sounds like a win-win to me.
Jake Scott
A: Gotta send the emails before Thursday, Jake. But this actually works out well, because from what I read and heard on WEEI a week or so ago this is exactly what most Red Sox fans thought about Billy Wagner. A hick. An ingrate. Selfish. Doesn't want to win. The bullpen is stacked, how can we find work for this guy?
Now it's a week later, and after two (admittedly) impressive appearances you'd think Wagner has been pitching for the Sox since 1992. Can we give Wagner, I don't know, a month before we anoint him? The guy has pitched FOUR INNINGS in the last 400 days. You know if Wagner shows up next Tuesday with a stiff elbow or sore shoulder (obviously a real possibility) we'll go right back to where we were a week ago. I mean, is this really where we are? Two innings and we're sold?
(This is probably the best place for this quick anecdote. I was taking the Green Line to Kenmore for Sox/Yankees a week ago Friday. Three girls, maybe 20 years old, were sitting across from me. They each (brace for the shock) wore a Pink Hat and an Ellsbury shirt. And they spent the better part of 10 minutes yelling at a father and son who had the gall to wear Yankees' shirts. All the greatest hits, you've heard them a million times. And as it always seems to be with a crew like this, the (a) least attractive and (b) most drunk member of the gang took on the lead role in tormenting. And she decided to get to her feet for the summation, a 90-second meditation on Johnny Damon and a life spent deep in the closet. And I swear to God this is true, there was maybe a five-second gap before she turned to a man behind her and asked sweetly, "Is this the stop for The Fenway Stadium?" Look, I don't ask that you know who Harry Hooper is, or even Jim Lonborg, but can we all agree that correctly identifying Fenway Park is sort of a must for legitimate fan status?)
"But that's sort of like saying Nicole Kidman's scene sans clothes in 'Eyes Wide Shut' is her worst."
Dude, it was a body double. Poor analogy.
PS: I agree completely, Paps won't sign a long-term deal here.
Michael Christopher
A: Don't tell me that, Michael. Can you just let me live in a world where body doubles do not exist? If I'm watching "Eyes Wide Shut" I have to think it's Kidman getting the Pitino treatment from that sailor, not some 22-year-old stripper from Saugus making 18 bucks an hour. Totally ruins the moment. Thanks a lot. Sometimes I hate this mailbag. At least I'm secure in the knowledge that there was no body double for Halle Berry in "Monster's Ball." No kidding, I have watched "the" scene in that movie about 25,000 times, or 24,998 more times than my wedding video. If there were ever a reason for an expert to give testimony in court regarding that scene I would have to be the man for the job, I think. Now if they had brought in Kate Beckinsale as Billy Bob Thornton's body double for those two minutes and forty-eight seconds I would have been okay with the process.
Mailbag Boy,
Seriously, did I just read that Curt Schilling is considering a run for the Senate? I thought it had to be a joke. But what do you think would get more laughs: a Republican believing he has a shot at winning the seat, or the sight of Curt Schilling collecting signatures at the local dump?
Oklahoma (originally from your hometown of Winchester)
A: I could make the cheap "It would be nice to see Schilling elected so he could continue his history of getting the truth out in the Halls of Congress" joke but I won't do that.
All kidding aside, I don't think Schilling will wind up seeking the GOP nomination (I have no inside information, this is just a guess). What's the point for him? He's no dummy, I'm sure he knows a Republican will get slapped around in an election. And this isn't a knock on Schilling, because there is nothing in Martha Coakley or Joe Kennedy's history to suggest that they'd do a better job as a Senator. But the voters of Massachusetts will not let Teddy K's seat go to a Republican, no matter how many playoff games a candidate might have won with his Achilles tendon falling off. But I hope I'm wrong and he gives it a shot, if only because the Equal Opportunity Provision might lead to my lifelong dream – a Ted Danson mailbag.

Will Miikka Kiprusoff accept a trade? Will the Canucks move Roberto Luongo at the trade deadline? Are the Oilers planning some major moves? Read on to find out!
CALGARY HERALD: George Johnson reports Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff refuses to discuss his trade status with reporters.
SPORTSNET.CA: Mark (no relation) Spector believes Kiprusoff must address the trade talk, especially rumors he would refuse to report to a new team if traded.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Kiprusoff doesn't have to address anything. Iginla got a free pass from the media when he refused to discuss his trade status. They should afford the intensely private "Kipper" the same courtesy.
VANCOUVER SUN: Iain MacIntyre believes Roberto Luongo is the only card Canucks GM Mike Gillis has to play to bring in the second line center his club desperately needs. Canucks assistant GM Laurence Gilman, however, insists the club isn't reducing its asking price. MacIntyre noted Maple Leafs center Tyler Bozak was once considered a trade targetfor the Canucks last summer, and Bozak is now believed a prime rental player. Elliott Pap reports Luongo remains prepared for any scenario and continues to support Cory Schneider.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Bozak won't be dealt. Leafs GM Dave Nonis recently shot down that notion. I get the sense Canucks management aren't going to pressured into making a panic move with Luongo. Quite frankly, I don't see a market for Luongo right now. That could change, of course, but the off-season could be a better time to try to move him than the trade deadline.
EDMONTON JOURNAL: David Staples yesterday cited tweets from Boston reporters Kevin Paul Dupont and Joe Haggarty claiming the Boston Bruins were in talks with the Edmonton Oilers, and could have interest in defenseman Ryan Whitney. There's also "whispers" Ales Hemsky could be the Bruins backup plan if they lost out in the Iginla sweepstakes. Staples also noted a rumor from Haggarty suggesting winger Magnus Paajarvi could be packaged with Whitney. TSN's Darren Dreger shot down the rumors. Jim Matheson also noted the rumors of the Bruins interest in Whitney, believing they would be a perfect fit for the blueliner.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: Wouldn't surprise me if the Bruins are "kicking the tires" on Whitney, but I don't think Hemsky is a suitable "Plan B", as he lacks the physical edge they hopes they would get with Iginla, and explains why they were pursuing Brenden Morrow before the Penguins got him, and why they're still believed to have interest in San Jose's Ryane Clowe.
