Messi nets double, Neymar injured in Barca win
Barcelona's Brazilian forward Neymar (C) is helped off the field during the Spanish Copa del Rey (King's Cup) round of 16 second-leg football match Getafe CF vs FC Barcelona at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium in Getafe on January 16, 2014 - by Javier Soriano
However, it was far from a perfect evening for the Catalans as Neymar had to be carried from the field after suffering a nasty looking right ankle sprain midway through the first-half.
With Barcelona already leading 4-0 from the first-leg, thanks in part to two goals from Messi on his first appearance as a substitute after two months out, Barca boss Gerardo Martino made nine changes to the side that started Saturday's La Liga 0-0 draw at Atletico Madrid.
Neymar was also making his first start of the year after recovering from a bout of gastroenteritis.
However, his return lasted only 23 minutes as he had to be helped off the field by two members of the Barca medical staff as he turned his ankle in attempting to cross the ball from the left side of the area.
The visitors shrugged off the loss of the Brazilian, though, as Cristian Tello's driven cross was turned in at the near post by Messi two minutes before half-time.
And the best was still to come from the diminutive Argentine as he danced past three Getafe challenges before rounding goalkeeper Jordi Codina and finishing from a tight angle for his fourth goal of the tie just after the hour mark.
Martino then took the opportunity to hand Xavi Hernandez his 700th appearance for the club as he replaced Cesc Fabregas with 20 minutes remaining.
Messi should have rounded off his evening with a hat-trick on 85 minutes as he was played in with just Codina to beat, but the keeper made a fine save with his right leg to turn the ball behind for a corner.

Congratulations to Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin, who made his first Pro Bowl. He joined five other Dallas Cowboys in getting the nod for the Jan. 31 game.
The other Cowboys who will be heading to the Pro Bowl are Jason Witten, DeMarcus Ware, Leonard Davis, Andre Gurode and Jay Ratliff.
Austin has had an amazing season so far. Like Tony Romo, he was a little-known player that went undrafted. Austin had just 19 catches last season, and he did not start in any game.
Also like Romo, Austin makes the Pro Bowl even though he did not begin the season as a starter. In 11 starts, Austin has gained 1,230 yards on 74 catches. That is tops in the NFC for yardage. He has 11 touchdowns so far. Included in those stats is Austin's incredible 10 reception, 250-yard game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Special Paper: An Ecological History of the Charles L. Pack Forest
This Special Paper, by Dr. Mark Swanson, presents the ecological history of the Charles Lathrop Pack Experimental Forest ( Pack Forest ), located near Eatonville, WA. It addresses the ecological backdrop against which modern management activities have played out, and describes significant natural and anthropogenic changes. (8/06)
Pack Essay Competition
The School of Environmental and Forest Sciences is pleased to announce that Chelsea Gill is the winner of the 2009 Charles L. Pack Essay Competition for her essay "Experimental Forests as a Gateway: Protection of Ecosystem Services through Sustainable Forest Management".
The contest is offered as an opportunity for SFR students to express their views on forestry and to demonstrate their writing skills. The competition was originally created nearly 80 years ago through a gift by Charles Pack. This year, SFR students were asked to address topics related to sustainable forest management. The contest is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.
Discussion Papers
The Center is pleased to announce the Discussion Papers series. This series is intended to spark discussion and dialogue on issues relevant to the ongoing development of sustainable forestry. Please contact us if you have any comments or ideas for future discussion papers.
Discussion Paper: Research Forests and Managerial Perceptions of Certification
This paper examines the perceptions among research forest managers of certification and the costs and benefits of certification for their forests. In developing a better understanding of the attitudes of those responsible for research forests toward certification, we also hope to initiate a dialogue to improve the relationships between certification systems and managers of research and university forests.

Holiday Blues
From Guild Wars Wiki
Holiday Blues
Spell. Sacrifice 50% maximum Health. All nearby foes take 50 damage, and you bring the Holiday Blues to this location. For 30 seconds, foes within the area suffer -15 Health degeneration.
- Concise description
Spell. Deals 50 damage to nearby foes. Foes within the area have -15 Health degeneration (30 seconds).
[edit] Acquisition
This skill is given to Necromancers under the Yuletide disguise, i.e. those competing in Dwayna Vs Grenth or various Wintersday quests.
[edit] Notes
- This skill has the highest sacrifice cost of any player skill.
- Health degeneration is capped at -10, so the additional degeneration can negate the effects of the only Yuletide regeneration skill, Ice Breaker.
[edit] Trivia
- The animation of its area of effect resembles a well spell.
- Before Wintersday 2009, the sacrifice cost of this skill was 100% (which prevented NPCs from using it at all).

In an unexpectedly passionate speech that took aim at doubters and the news media, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed this morning declared the campaign for the transportation sales tax to be far from dead, and said passage of the July 31 referendum was needed to pull the region out of the doldrums that threaten its economic standing in the South.
"Just surviving is just surviving," Reed told a group of TSPLOST supporters at City Hall, casting the referendum as a generational test that will determine whether the region can operate in a biracial and bipartisan manner that can attract new businesses and jobs.
Said Reed:
"The city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, we've lost 200,000 jobs since the year 2007. We've lost 50,000 construction jobs since the year 2007. That hurt doesn't have a color on it. And you all know as well as anybody that when the unemployment rate spikes for everybody else, it does even more damage to black people, Latino people, and rural people."
The occasion at City Hall was an endorsement of the 10-county sales tax by the Atlanta Business League and other groups essential to city political efforts. But Reed used the event to make clear that, while Republicans are either hedging their support or opposing the measure, and even many Democrats have lined up against it, he intended to serve as a full-throated advocate during the final stage of the campaign.
The mayor first addressed concerns that the one-cent sales tax wouldn't do enough for African-Americans in DeKalb and Fulton counties to warrant the support of black voters. Reed stared straight at state Sen. Vincent Fort, D-Atlanta, who was in the audience and has urged opposition. "Some of our friends are saying that it won't help minority businesses enough. Y'all, that's just flat-out not true," Reed said, his eyes still glued on Fort.
Reed then threw cold water on automated polls commissioned by news organizations that show the referendum to be losing support by double digits– by reluctantly offering up a poll commissioned by Untie Atlanta, showing the initiative only three percentage points down.
"We didn't want to show our poll, because the poll we took before that was better. All I'm asking you to do is call balls and strikes," the mayor said, addressing the reporters in front of him. "The public deserves to have the facts, and the fact is that this is going to be a close election."
Here's a rough transcript of most of Reed's remarks, with more to follow:
"Y'all, we did what everyone in America has been telling us they wanted to do. We had 18 Republicans and Democrats from rural and urban look at the future of the region and vote unanimously to pare down a list of more than $20 billion down to less than $6.14 billion, and pass it unanimously. And then take it out and put it up for a vote.
"So we're not placing a burden on you. You have an opportunity to vote on something for yourself. But I need y'all to understand and remember and go text, call, phone, email, Facebook, Twitter, all of your friends and tell them that just surviving leads to just surviving.
"The city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, we've lost 200,000 jobs since the year 2007. We've lost 50,000 construction jobs since the year 2007. That hurt doesn't have a color on it. And you all know as well as anybody that when the unemployment rate spikes for everybody else, it does even more damage to black people, Latino people, and rural people. …
"Now we have a solution that your leaders have stood behind, and [Fulton County Commission Chairman] John Eaves is standing behind, and I'm standing behind, and the City Council is standing behind, and it's going to help create transportation mobility like we've never seen, but it's also going to help us build an infrastructure for the future. And it's going to put $600 million a year into this local economy.
"Now, some of our friends are saying that it won't help minority businesses enough. Y'all, that's just flat-out not true. Let me tell you why. Show me another city in the United States of America that has a longer, more distinguished history – since Maynard Jackson, as mayor of this city – for doing business with women and minority business. Show me one. You've got $600 million that's going to be spent with MARTA, which has robust women and minority and small business inclusion.
"You've got another $600 million that's going to be spent, when we spend this measure, that's going to be spent on the Atlanta Beltline to give you last-mile connectivity. You've got $850 million that's going to be spent in DeKalb County, which has a robust women and minority business program. I don't know about your math, but that adds up to $2 billion – about a third of the $6.14 billion. So folks that are saying that minorities and women and small business are not going to have a seat at the table are telling you not to believe your own experience and your own eyes….
"Now, another thing. I've been reading a whole lot about polls, about whether or not this is going to win. Take it from somebody who knows how to win when I'm behind. I spent two years behind. So you'll have to excuse me for not getting nervous when we've got two weeks to go…..
"I've seen one poll that says we were down by 10 points. I've seen another poll that says we were down by 10. This is my challenge. Any news organization that has a poll – we have a poll that says the [race] is 38-41. It's an 800 [voter] sample, which is in the 3 percent margin of error, which means it's basically neck-and-neck, dead even. Now, I'll be honest. We didn't want to show our poll, because the poll we took before that was better.
"All I'm asking you to do is call balls and strikes….the public deserves to have the facts, and the fact is that this is going to be a close election.
"This election – if you gave every single person in the 10-county region a day off, put the election on Saturday, and emailed everybody a hundred times, and God gave us flawless weather, it was never going to pass by more than 54 percent. You understand me? So don't get nervous about it being a close election, don't get nervous about the ups and downs of campaigning. But I need you all to fight for this thing.
"I was with Bill Clinton a couple weeks ago. We were in Chicago. And he was talking about how important it is that we pass this in Atlanta, because people all over the world are watching to see what we're doing. Look at the New York Times. Look at the Chicago [Sun]-Times, look at the Los Angeles Times. Look at Baron's. Look at The Economist. They are looking to see whether Atlanta is going to step up and start operating in a bipartisan way that nobody in the Southeast has been able to take on….
"This is what we do in Atlanta…. Folks need to stop rooting against this region. I want y'all to hear that. Y'all remember six years ago – when you lost a job, there were two or three or four other jobs that you could go out and get. Right now you go to work on pins and needles, praying that you don't lose your job, because there's nothing else out there. I want you all to have opportunities again. I want you to have a robust economy that allows you to go and do other things.
"And folks who are on the other side of this debate haven't put up one single solution. I know there's a lot of talking in the street. But anyone who wants to have a serious debate about this, you tell me where to meet them, anywhere, anyplace, and we'll have it. And we'll see if they know what they're talking about. 'Cause I'm here to tell you, I'm going all out for this. And I believe in the Winston Churchill model. I smile when I fight. I love to fight.
"We did what you asked us to do. Y'all said you were sick of partisanship, and we did this in a bipartisan way. Y'all say y'all were sick about black folks being against white folks, we did it in a biracial way. Y'all said y'all were sick of rural against urban, we did it with rural and urban.
"We can have a debate. But, my goodness, let's call balls and strikes. And let's make sure you decide this election around real information. Because what I'm here to tell you is, that if you spend $600 million every single year, your future in this town is going to be better. That you're going to get home to your family and your children faster. And that you're going to be part of the most dynamic economy in the Southeast. That's what I'm here to tell you.
After the speech, I followed the mayor into his office for a post-game interview. He again sounded the generational note:
"Our elected leadership has done what everybody says they want out of elected leaders. If there's any frustration, that's what you were hearing in me. Everything that people say that they want, happened in this process. The meetings were videotaped. They were open to the public. There was black people and white people. It was rural and urban. It was Republican-Democrat.
"What should have happened when we passed the project list the first time, it should have been heralded as what it was – which was the most significant political event in modern Georgia. That didn't happen. But what's happened recently is that the other side's voice has been amplified…
I've been making the argument, but I'm going to make it a lot louder. …You're going to continue to see elected officials do what elected officials do – move away from something that is about to fail. But this matter is too important. This is our generation's moment to really move this region and this state ahead.
Reed began talking dollars and sense. "If we pull off the four significant things that we've been working on right now, our competitors can forget about it," he said. The quartet? The water wars, the dredging of the Port of Savannah, the international terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson, and the TSPLOST.
"All of this stuff has been ugly. We have not won it with beautiful passes. You can put the warts and all on it," the mayor said. "But nobody has given up any of their core values. None of these issues require me to be less of a Democrat, or Governor Deal to be less of a Republican."
Reed's bottom line: A biracial, bipartisan metro Atlanta has a future. A fractured one doesn't.

In real local political news – Georgia election officials seek access to immigration database
State officials on Thursday welcomed the news that the federal government is finally granting states access to an immigration database they could use to confirm the U.S. citizenship of those seeking to vote.
The Associated Press reported Monday that the federal government is expanding access to the SAVE program so Florida and other states can use it to cleanse their voter rolls of noncitizens. Election leaders in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio and Utah have also requested access to the program, the AP reported. Each of the election chiefs in those states is a Republican. [Evidently, Democrat Governors don't have a problem with illegal votes]

This is supposed to be a program to reduced congestion.. Now Reed (who makes Bill Cambell look honest) claims it's a job bill. He is finally telling the truth the $600,000,000.00 spent on the waste/belt line is all about the job of lining his corrupt cronies pockets not reducing congestion. If you think this is not true look at how Reed's Corrupt Cronies got all the money at the airport.

Two weeks ahead of the primary election, an exclusive 11Alive News poll shows a majority of voters oppose a tax increase for regional transportation projects. The Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (T-SPLOST) would equal one cent for every dollar spent in a given region.
Among likely voters surveyed for the exclusive poll conducted by SurveyUSA across the state, 48% said they would vote against T-SPLOST, 36% said they would vote for it, and 16% were still undecided. The margin of error was 3.4%.
Broken down by region, in the state's most populous region, Metro Atlanta (region 3), 49% of likely voters said they would vote against T-SPLOST while 36% would vote for it. In Northwest Georgia (region 1), 66% would vote against it and 22% would vote for it. In Georgia's Mountains (region 2), 61% would vote against it and 24% would vote for it. Northeast Georgia (region #5) was split on the vote with 40% in favor and 41% opposed. The margin of error was 3.4% among likely voters.
Asked how familiar respondents were with the proposed projects in their areas, 26% of all respondents said they were very familiar, 36% said they were somewhat familiar, 21% were not very familiar, 14% said they were not at all familiar with the projects and 2% said they were not sure. The margin of error was 2.8%.
Whether the measure passes or not, most people across the state said they didn't think T-SPLOST would make a difference to traffic in their area in the long run.
If it passed, 56% of all respondents said traffic would stay about the same, 22% thought it would get better, 11% thought it would get worse, and 12% were not sure. The margin of error was 2.8%.
If it didn't pass, 67% of all respondents said traffic would stay about the same, 7% thought it would get better, 18% thought it would get worse, and 9% were not sure. The margin of error was 2.6%.
About half of all respondents across Georgia, 49%, said T-SPLOST advertising has made no difference on how they will vote. However, 19% said ads made them more likely to vote for the measure, 23% said ads made them more likely to vote against it, 3% haven't seen any ads, and 6% were not sure. The margin of error was 2.8%.
Half of all respondents thought the government would mishandle any money raised from the penny sales tax. Specifically, 27% thought is was not very likely and 23% thought it was not at all likely that the funds would be properly handled. In contrast, 11% thought it was very likely and 31% thought it was somewhat likely that the money would be properly handled. The remaining 7% said they were not sure, and the margin of error was 2.8%.
Opponents of the transportation tax have argued that the wording of the preamble to the ballot measure is unfair. It states "Provides for local transportation projects to create jobs and reduce traffic congestion with citizen oversight." Of people surveyed, 44% thought the wording was fair, 36% thought it was unfair, and 20% were not sure. The margin of error was 2.8%

jgalloway somehow missed this from Bob Barr, former U.S. Attorney and Georgia U.S. Congressman who is voting NO to TSPLOST:
"Citizens already pay enough taxes, especially for transportation/highways; we do not need another massive tax increase, especially in the middle of a stubborn recession. Government needs to re-prioritize spending and cut back non-essential services before coming to the citizens and asking for more. The list of projects is being driven not by needs and desires of voters, but by bureaucrats and the liberal agenda in Washington and Atlanta – heavily weighted toward mass transit and light rail, which does not and never will be used sufficiently to justify massive start up and continued, never-ending up keep costs. The process – binding all even if a county votes no – is deceptive and unfair, if not unconstitutional."

just think how many vendors he can pay off, once they make massive contributions to his re-election campaign. Wow, the gift (in this case our money) that just keeps giving (to him and other politicians).
Now, let each county come up with and fund their own solutions, while the state takes on the few required major arteries. That would be a much more effective way to resolve this issue.
of course, would provide much less oppty for public waste, graft, and political payoffs. (seriously?? $4.5 million for art in the airport? Seriously??)

Reed is just another in a long line of 'self-serving' mayors of Atlanta….This SPLOST plan is a complete scam and will be a massive failure for Atlanta… before we get into any new directions, we need to clean house of the lamebrains who have kept Atlanta in the position they are when it comes to infrastructure….there has been poor maintenance of infrastructure in the growth of Atlanta and this will not solve it….it will not create anything like they are BS'n out there….these TV ads should cause someone a criminal charge in fraud…!!! will it invent some jobs??? sure, but the entire focus of something like this should not be a temporary band-aid that not resolve issues, but only cost you more before it is spent… WAKE UP, ATLANTA…sounds like another 'AIRPORT SCAM'…. VOTE 'NO' on this issue…!!!!

"We didn't want to show our poll, because the poll we took before that was better. All I'm asking you to do is call balls and strikes," the mayor said, addressing the reporters in front of him. "The public deserves to have the facts, and the fact is that this is going to be a close election."
Well then, TSPLOST should be easily in the bag with all of the remaining massive spending by the pro side and free media support via the AJC. (Unless this is bogus B.S.)

Dear Mr. Reed,
I will vote "NO" on this just as almost ALL my neighbors plan to do. Would you like to know why?
We have just as much trust in you and your cronies as we do in your buddy in DC, Pres. Obama. If you had anything in your record of cleaning up the dirty politics of this city, maybe we would feel differently.
My advice to you: you've hitched your wagon to your man in DC and blasted Mitt Romney last week at the NAACP convention, so pray, pray, pray that Obama wins again and maybe he'll throw some money your way. You've made your bed, so now you get to lay in it.

All you Transportation Referendum haters are the first to complain about traffic. Lets stop complaining about it ado something.
Reed is the only politician in the entire metro area to stand up and say what he thinks is right because he knows that he will get re-elected. He has done great things in Atlanta during his first term, the other cities wish they had someone with Reed's leadership!
Good for Reed to stand up in front of everyone and pick an ally out of the crowd, Fort, that has turned his back on this referendum because of political pressure.
I've seen the TIA debate pick up on the streets and in the offices. People are finally getting educated on the projects, instead of listening to tea party activists and talk radio. I truly believe the Transportation Referendum will pass. People are tried of the status quo and none of the TIA opposition has presented a path towards Plan B.

I hope Senator Fort gave Mayor Reed a one finger salute. The proposed T-SPLOST would tax Grandma's groceries another penny and exempt motor fuel from the tax. This would transfer billions from the poor and middle class to C. W. Matthews and the rest of the paving contractors who own the Georgia Legislature. This is the worst ripoff ever passed by the GA Legislature and that takes some doing.

"Would you like to know why?"
I would like to know why.
Why did the Republican dominated state government come up with such a lame tax increase proposal?
Why is Republican Gov Deal promoting a yes vote?
Why did the Republican dominated selection committee give "corrupt" Mayor Reed everything he wanted?
Why did Republican controlled state government back out of the Ga 400 toll agreement?
Republicans wet their beds and are now lying in it.

Not only NO, but he!! no. Remember how the tolls at GA 400 were supposed to be done away with? More of the same…
July 17th, 2012
4:32 pm
Forget beleving whether Reed is honest or not……just look at the GA 400 promise made to only institute the toll to pay for the road…..well that road has been paid for many years ago and yet the toll lives on. Once politicans (of both parties) get you to agree to tax yourself you will never see the end of it. VOTE NO to another wasteful, dishonest tax!!

Another BS tax on taxpayers – Gwinnett Co. residents already paid for our HOV lane by SPLOST – only to have it be taken away by the government, and reassigned as a pay lane. Some of that congestion is from northern commuters into the city whom don't use carpooling anymore.
Remember the proposal for the 400 toll? The toll was supposed to end after the road was paid for…how's that working out?
Personally, I will never use mass transit, no matter what the system. I'll just choose better times to commute, leave, travel, or drive – y'all can have your mass transit, but I will never vote to pay for it.
July 17th, 2012
4:35 pm
Call me a Transportation Referrendum HATER!! I ride my bike to work and don't need any stinking increase in my grocery bill, electric bill, gas bill and every other bill I pay. Increase the gas taxes and let the people who actually use the roads pay for it.

I'm fixated on the comments about not trusting our legislators, local governments and GDOT. Since this is a predominate conservative state, the people who were elected are not trusted, i.e.Republicans. Those same legislators vote in each congressional districts for their rep on the GDOT Board, i.e. Republicans. The Board selects the GDOT Commissioner as well as the remainder of the upper echelon of management at GDOT i.e. Deputy Commissioner, Treasurer, Chief Engineer, etc. The Governor, a repub, selects the Planning Director at GDOT, who is responsible for project selection in not only the yearly program but also the TSPLOST programs around the state. It is safe to say the Planning Director is a repub.
The TSPLOST has a citizen review board which is to ensure the money is spent correctly, the projects on the list are delivered in a timely manner, and to be accountable to all the citizens. Since our decision makers are all repub, isn't it safe to assume the CRB will be mostly, if not all repub.This is how this state works.
So if all decision makers, administrators, and program reviewers are repub, and they can not be trusted, then shouldn't the anti's leave their party, and begin another party that is self righteous, Christian only, and experts on everything. Their motto could be ( esp for the future TSPLOST) " My Way or the Highway!"
How could the conservatives be so wrong as to elect these thieves and liars to office…repeatedly…?
July 17th, 2012

ditto on 400 tolls plus the left lane of interstate 85 being hijacked. and you want to be trusted again, get real…

Centrist opines, "Evidently, Democrat Governors don't have a problem with illegal votes."
Or, maybe they view the effort as being out of proportion to the problem, as would any sensible person. Last year New Mexico spent several hundred thousand dollars on an investigation that revealed that two foreign nationals had illegally registered to vote and but one of those two had actually voted.
Or, maybe from the preponderance of evidence, the reasonable conclusion to be drawn is that the Republicans interest lies in making it easier to buy an election than to vote in one.
July 17th, 2012
4:39 pm
HST: The HOV lane on I 85 was paid for with state and Federal funds….not Gwinnett splost monies! It was OUR tax money that paid for an HOV lane though…not a managed lane.

Road Scholar posted: "Since this is a predominate conservative state, the people who were elected are not trusted, i.e.Republicans."
Maybe the real answer is that most voters (like me) do not trust politicians of either party, but the Democrats who ran this state for decades are considered worse.

This Mayor continues to inspire me with his leadership style. I was very skeptical about Kasim Reed before 2009, because I just didn't know him and his opponents were well known quantities. But this tenacity that this man has shown over the past 3 years proves him to be a transformational leader that will propel Atlanta into the future. I am supporting the TSplost because it does much to push us in the right direction to regain our standing as a regional force to be reckoned with.
July 17th, 2012

"Where has it all gone?"
35% of metro-Atlanta gas tax revenue is spent outside the metro Atlanta area. Maybe our Republican dominated state government should work on changing the funding formula.

If you don't think Reed's Corrupt Cronies aren't going to steal us blind you are in the "trusting" 11%.. Look at the airport, all Reed's Cronies got the contracts.. Reed is strictly a pay to play type guy.
"Half of all respondents thought the government would mishandle any money raised from the penny sales tax. Specifically, 27% thought is was not very likely and 23% thought it was not at all likely that the funds would be properly handled. In contrast, 11% thought it was very likely and 31% thought it was somewhat likely that the money would be properly handled. The remaining 7% said they were not sure, and the margin of error was 2.8%. "

LMAO! By who? Georgia, led by the Atlanta area was one of the fastest growing states in the country when it was being led by Democrats. Now Georgia is one of the 10 slowest growing states. Georgia has one of the highest unemployment rates. Most failed banks. Stagnant to still going lower property values. Corrupt Republican politicians, like Deal, Balfour, Ralston, Chip Rogers, Sonny, Schrenko, Oxendine, Richardson……on and on….
What exactly are the Republican accomplishments since they gained all the power????
Here's a hint….NOTHING
July 17th, 2012

Just 10 years ago, Georgia (with the strongest magnet being the Metro-Atlanta area) used to be the favorite southern state in attracting new businesses. However, transportation problems and poor public education have scared-off a lot of businesses that otherwise would have come to the state.
The Dallas-Fort Worth, TX area and the Charlotte, NC-Mecklenburg County area are now getting most of the business that used to come to Georgia. Both of these states and areas invested heavily in state of the art transportation plans (which include mass transit) prior to overtaking Georgia in economic progress.
TSPLOST is the first major step ever in our state and in this region to truly improve transportation so that we can return to competitiveness.
If we fail to approve this tax, we will take yet another step closer (and may even catch Mississippi) to being the poorest, dumbest state in the nation.
July 17th, 2012
5:00 pm
The GA 400 tolls were reinstated by a lame duck governor called Purdue. It was his last act before leaving office. GA 400 is not complete, the 400/85 interchange is not done. Mad about it then blame your republican controlled legislature not the mayor of Atlanta or the TIA projects.
So you all believe that Reed is dirty because of some people that are bitter about losing airport concessions? Sounds more like sore losers to me.
July 17th, 2012
5:02 pm
Hey DannyX – nice comeback. Now, go run along… I think Kasim is calling you to discuss how to convince all these educated, white collar folks that they should vote YES.
You see, there is a reason alot of people who work hard and make a good living move "out" of Atlanta and Fulton County. I grew up in Atlanta so I've seen the long list of dirty politicians and Kasim hasn't done anything to show he deserves different treatment.
So we will keep our money out here in the suburbs and keep our fantastic public schools and public programs. And you keep trying to come up with sneaky ways to get our money!

This referendum is so important to our region!!! It provides the "shot in the arm" that we're in dire need of. It stands to create 200,000 jobs, a better future for our kids, shorter commutes, new business and economic development opportunities, a greater investment Metro Atlanta's future, brings much needed infrastructure improvements to the region and best of all, all around better quality of life for millions of Metro Atlanta families!
This measure stands to bring about real change to this region. There were folks that fought the '96 Olympics, the expansion of the Atlanta Airport in the 1970's and any other major project that thrust Atlanta into the future but I truly hope we can agree on the Tsplost because we have to do something about the horrible traffic and transportation in our city.

Sneaky way to get your money???? Republicans are the ones that came up with TSPLOST, and suburban Republicans dominated the selection committee. Your Republican politicians must be fools!
No wonder the state is in such horrible shape, its being run by easily manipulated Republican fools!
July 17th, 2012
5:08 pm
You're spot on with your comments sir! The Republicans haven't really done anything over the past 10 years of their controlling the state governement, but in all fairness the Deal Administration seems surprisingly level-headed.

@EastCobber – thanks for the tip. Learn to spell "know" and then talk smack you idiot!
And I'm not so sure you want to compare SAT scores with E Cobb parents versus downtown Atlanta residents. Do you?
July 17th, 2012
5:12 pm
You're a clown of the worst ilk! Republicans created the Tsplost down to the choosing of the date of the election. Each jurisdiction was simply charged with coming up with project lists to go into the regional lists and allow voters to decide to tax themselves. Please get your facts correct sir, your mullets starting peek from under your hat. LOL

Disadvantaged businesses wrongly certified for airport contracting
By Kelly Yamanouchi
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Four airport concessionaires awarded contracts as disadvantaged businesses in Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport's restaurant contracting this year should not have qualified under federal criteria or did not have adequate documentation, according to the federal government.
The federal government found four airport concessionaires were improperly awarded contracts as disadvantaged businesses.

The two firms that should not have qualified because they exceeded the $750,000 cap on personal net worth are Atlanta Restaurant Partners LLC and Mack II Inc., the Federal Aviation Administration said. In addition, Vida Concessions and Hojeij Branded Foods had inadequate documentation, the agency said in memos released Thursday.
The city of Atlanta noted there are different disadvantaged business certifications with different criteria, and the issue in question is focused just on the federal Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certification.
Together, the four firms named won a significant share of the concessions contracts worth an estimated $3 billion over 10 years. They were chosen to operate dozens of new restaurants at the airport, and are in eight of the nine airport restaurant contracts approved by City Council and signed by Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.

Its called writing on an iPad. Typos happen, the fact still remains that Atlanta has a more diverse, educated and monied class of citizens than East Cobb. Did my correct spelling and perfect grammar spell it out any better for you?!?!
Second fact that remains is; your community doesn't exist without the economic prowess that is Atlanta! It was the Republican dominated legislature and Executive Branches that came up with the regional Tsplost. Atlanta doesn't need your fraction of pennies, but we've been lumped in a 10 county region with your county and even if you don't support and it still passes, Cobb gets the money.
Atlanta has proven through our numerous splost and most issues that we can do big things for growth, now let's see if our little friends next door to the west can do the same!
July 17th, 2012

Vote No!!!! If passed,10 years from now only half the projects will be completed and a new Tsplost with a fancy name will be asked to be voted on again.Also, the Beltline if completed will be a center for holdups and other crimes.Look at Georgia Tech and Georgia State.Students can not walk around on or off campus without looking over their shoulders.

Mayor Reed is not afraid to tackle tough issues. His support on this issue has been clear, for those who choose to see and acknowledge it.

Although the basement seemed small and crowded, what mattered most was to be heard and to have fun.

Featured Fitterati: Personal Trainer Blog Sweet Tooth Sweet Life
Written on July 24, 2012 at 2:45 pm , by Karla Walsh
Each Tuesday, we're highlighting one category of winners from our Fitterati Blogger Awards! This week, we're bringing in the pros with the Best Personal Trainer Blogs!
Courtney Horan
- 28, Troy, New York
One cannot live solely on cupcakes…or solely on crunches, for that matter. Sweet Tooth Sweet Life's Courtney is an awesome model of moderation, hitting the gym early in the day and eating a healthy dinner, and treating herself to dessert (Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies!). Talk about the sweet life.
Top training tool "I recently started using a Gymboss timer. It's great for tracking the minutes when I'm working with clients and teaching my Tabata class."
Morning motivation "Knowing that my workout is totally done for the day and I have the whole evening off makes it easier to skip the snooze and hit the gym. But really, knowing I only have to shower once is the biggest motivator!"
Perfect post-workout snack "I love anything with a good mix of protein and carbohydrates, like a Chobani Greek yogurt with fresh berries, nut butter on whole-wheat crackers or a shake made with a frozen banana and protein powder."

Fit Blogger We Love: Sweet Tooth Sweet Life
Written on August 18, 2011 at 2:29 pm , by Jenna Autuori
Courtney had been reading healthy living blogs for more than two years before she decided to start her own, Sweet Tooth Sweet Life, to write about her love of food, fitness and fashion. Now, more than one year after her first post, Courtney's still sharing yummy recipes, fun workouts and shopping tips. Here are five fun facts to get to know this fit blogger better:
Favorite way to work out? I've been loving BodyPump lately. Not only is it a great, full-body workout, but the rush of adrenaline I get from everyone else busting their butt along with me in class pushes me to the max.
I'm happiest when I… have a full belly, my muscles are sore from a great workout and I'm relaxing with my hubby and my funny feline, Cody. Life is good!
My fitness mantra: If you're not having fun, then you're wasting your time.
Scariest thing I've ever done: Growing up, I dealt with severe asthma, which kept me from partaking in almost any sport that involved a lot of running. It was disappointing and frustrating. But a few years ago, I decided that enough was enough, and I began to slowly work at it. This past April, I signed up for my first 10K race and crossed the finish line in just over an hour. To say that I was nervous at the start of the race is an understatement; I was petrified. But I committed, I worked hard and I succeeded, which is worth any amount of nervousness.
My fave fit snack: I love Greek yogurt with granola, Clif Z Bars and apples with peanut butter. I could eat all three every day. This quick blended drink is also a favorite:
Blueberry-Banana Smoothie
- 1 frozen, sliced banana
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 scoop vanilla Sun Warrior protein powder
- ~1/4 cup oats
- pinch xanthan gum
- 2 handfuls baby spinach leaves

Big Update on the Health & Employment Status of Rey Mysterio; When Will He Return & Could WWE Let Him Go?
Found March 07, 2013 on Wrestlechat.net:
PLAYERS: Rey Mysterio
Credit – F4WOnline We've noted how Rey Mysterio feared he had torn the ACL in his "good" knee a few weeks back but was told by Dr. James Andrews that he wouldn't need surgery and can wrestle with the help of a special brace. While he will be able to wrestle, we likely won't see him in the ring for a while. For what it's worth, Rey and WWE officials have been on very good terms as of late and they have been begging him to come back. It's said that officials, at least this week, do not want him to leave and consider him a company man for life, even after he retires.

Conclusions of the International Working Meeting on the establishment of the transboundary Prespa Park, October 2000
Last World Wetlands Day, 2 February 2000, the Ramsar Bureau participated in ceremonies near Prespa Lake that were attended by the Prime Ministers of Albania, Greece, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, their excellencies I. Meta, C. Simitis, and L. Georgievski respectively. The purpose of the trilateral meeting of Prime Ministers was jointly to declare the transboundary "Prespa Park", a new protected area including parts of all three countries, and their joint declaration is available on this Web site. This first transboundary protected area in the Balkan region has now moved closer to implementation following a working meeting amongst the three countries involved which was successful in pushing forward concrete plans for setting up a Coordinating Committee, developing a strategic plan, and establishing infrastructure. Here is a summary of the import of the meeting, followed by the agreed Conclusions.

An International Working Meeting on the establishment of the Prespa Park was held in Tirana, Albania, on 16-17 October 2000, under the aegis of the Convention on Wetlands and hosted by the Albanian government. Official delegations from Albania, Greece and the FYR of Macedonia took part, as well as representatives of Regional Environment Centre, UNDP (Tirana and Skopje), and WWF International. The meeting was chaired by the Secretary General of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
The unanimous conclusions of the meeting include:
- agreement on the establishment of a Coordination Committee with representation from the three countries (with government, local society, and NGO participation) and of a secretariat;
- immediate launching of the preparation of a Strategic Action Plan;
- approval of two projects to be funded by Greece;
- joint development of a project under REReP and a second one under GEF / UNDP;
- a strict time schedule was agreed;
- a first meeting of the Coordination Committee is planned for Skopje, FYROM, on 22-23 January 2001.
As to the role of MedWet in this successful transboundary initiative, the following should be noted:
- The initial agreement among the three prime ministers has been catalyzed by MedWet since mid-1999.
- The Tirana meeting was arranged and organized by MedWet, which also prepared and circulated its working documents.
- The Prespa Park Coordination Committee was agreed on the basis of a proposal prepared by MedWet.
- MedWet was requested by the three national delegations to monitor and facilitate the implementation of the Tirana agreement and especially its time schedule.

Hello everyone!
What a week it has been so far. Too much has happened for me to put into one blog. This entry will just give you a quick update. And I will go into further details and break down events further in future posts.
I last left you off in Bangkok. Having just arrived and unable to sleep. Day 2 would set the pace for the next few days.
Grabbed some new gear at Actionzone sports. New shorts, handwraps and a nice Bruce Lee themed pair of gloves as well. If you've never been to Actionzone sports in Bangkok…you should make it a point to go. Best prices I've seen in Thailand. The staff there is super friendly as well. Just a quick walk up the street from MBK, or simply get off the SkyTrain at National Stadium and walk up for about 5-10 minutes.
After picking up the new gear…it was off to Lumpinee Stadium to meet up with my friend Nicola. Nicola is a friend that I met at Sinbi back in 2009, and probably one of the best female fighters I've had the pleasure to train with and watch fight.
Then came the pivotal point in the day. Just earlier, I had finally gotten a SIM card for my phone. First call I made was to my trainer Met, who had prepared me for my last fight. I believe Met to be one of the best trainers in all of Thailand. I mentioned to him that I had arrived in BKK and would like to visit him…and also mentioned that..there was the off chance that I would MAYBE do some training. Given that ..I was on about 2 hours sleep and still dealing with being crammed in an airplane for close to 24 hours.
Even though WPT Gym is in Bangkok. ( CLICK HERE FOR WPT Website ), It was still a good hour and a bit away from where we were staying in Bangkok.
Arrived at the gym just past 4. It was so good to see Met. Still the stern, all business look to him, but this time around, I'd noticed that he was smiling….or at least smirking a lot more! The gym was small, and quaint. Just about what a Bangkok gym should look like. Not many bells and whistles…just a place to sharpen your skills and do some serious Muay Thai. Of course, if you know me by now…within a few minutes of arriving, I asked Met if we could train. And without missing a beat, Met set myself, Nicola and Owen off on a run.
It was a quick 3km run..but it was HOT! But man…did I love it! It's been 3 years since I've been back to Thailand and done anything that resembled any PROPER training. Being a trainer back home..I don't get to spend much time honing my skills. That is a matter I shall have to remedy at some point.
After the run, we were back at the gym, stretching and putting on our handwraps.
Met had told me that there were 2 kids from the UK currently at the gym, but in the 3 days that I spent at the gym..I never saw them train once. There are always those who seem to do that in Thailand though. Come for the purpose of training..but they either get bored or burned out..or whatever. I think I've roomed with a few of those in the past in Thailand.
Having said that…looking around, there was Met and another great trainer named Bee. 2 strong young looking Thai boys, and me, Nicola and Owen. Let the torture begin.
I'm pretty sure I mentioned to Met that it had been 3 years since I trained, but he might have either missed that, or just chosen to ignore that fact. It's like we picked up where we left off those 3 years ago. With one slight difference. A common thing I would here the next few days would be Met saying "Lanny…3 years you no train? Before you no fat. Now you fat!" Followed by a quick squeeze of my gut and a giggle…that did wonders for my ego! LOL. But he's right. I have no defense.
We did 3 rounds of shadow boxing where Met was meticulous about technique. It felt so good to be taught by a true master of the craft again. But by the end of the shadow boxing..I was pretty much DONE! Even Nicola, who is a MACHINE looked at me and mouthed.."are we done yet!?" ..We were FAR from being done. Next was 3 rounds of pad work. 5 minutes each round! I'll just skim over that part. It was HARD. My calves cramped. I was DONE. Beyond the pad work…we had some bag work and sit ups.
A day where we had nothing much planned had turned into an amazing training session. It was also at this point that we decided that we would move to the gym the next morning. We would be lucky enough to get 3 more full sessions in with Met and Bee at WPT gym.
There is…so much more to this story though.
When we were finished training that first day. Met said to me, " Lanny, you want to go eat with Jomhod?" I kind of had to do a double take.
Let me give you some backstory on Jomhod. February 7th, was set to be a big day in Muay Thai. In the recent years, Muay Thai's popularity has dissipated a bit in Thailand. This has brought the rise of a brash young promoter. Son of a already famous Lumpinee promotor. You may have seen the Sarm A video of him kicking 50 times? (IF NOT CLICK HERE) It's videos like that, and the use of social media that Nattadej has been trying to use to bring the sport into the social media age. Well anyways. Nattadej has become the NEWEST promoter of Rachadamnern Stadium (one of the big 2…Lumpinee being the other). And to kick off the new promotion he put on a SUPER CARD, featuring most of the top fighters in Thailand. One of the special fights on this card was a rematch between Somrak Sor Khamsing and Jomhod Kiatadisak, and there was a 6 Million Baht (roughly $201,700.00 Canadian $'s). Jomhod had won their first fight and took home a cool 4 Million Baht.
So…let's go back. Did Met just as if we wanted to go have dinner with Johmod, the night before his big fight?! So, of course..even though we were tired, and drenched, without a change of clothes. We couldn't turn down such an opportunity. On my 2nd night in Bangkok…I was able to have dinner with a legend. Pretty good start right?
Unfortunately. Jomhod lost the rematch…but I'll write more about that in a future post. As I mentioned. So much has happened in the past week, that I will have to break them up in to different posts.
I'm currently in Phuket. Back at my home gym of Sinbi Muay Thai. Have got a couple of training sessions under my belt here as well. In need of my afternoon nap. So thanks for reading. More to come. Soon.

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — Long-term cleanup of chemicals remaining in the soil of the old Chemfax Inc. property is set to begin this month.
The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1fEwsfL ) the Environmental Protection Agency is holding a meeting Tuesday to discuss it with the public.
Chemfax Inc., which owned 11 acres on the northeast corner of Creosote Road and Three Rivers Road, used petroleum products to manufacture synthetic resins and waxes used in paint, varnish and adhesives from 1955-95. The EPA says toxic byproducts -- known as PAHs and BTEX -- seeped into the soil and groundwater but have been confined to the property boundaries.
The initial $1.5 million cleanup was completed in 1999 and a long-term plan for remediation started in 2002.

If Derrek deserves flak, Ted gets triple.
Most of the Cub trade hubbub lately has focused on Derrek Lee's decision to invoke his no-trade clause and prevent a deal with the Angels. That led to a debate about Lee's interest in winning, his skills as a leader, and other intangibles discussion points.
Pardon my lack of segue. Call it a quick left turn:
Last night, the Minnesota Twins traded for Matt Capps, the Nationals' closer. In the deal, they gave up Wilson Ramos, a 22-year-old catcher who hit .317 in AA last year, a guy who apparently has a super arm when it comes to throwing out runners.
Another left:
In a potential Ted Lilly trade, the Cubs are asking the Mets for Josh Thole, according to some reports. Thole has a .783 OPS in his career in the minors, but in 48 plate appearances with the big league club this year has managed to post a .941 OPS.
Three lefts, just one more to go:
Until very recently, the Twins had been considered a likely landing spot for Lilly. They wanted him pretty badly, and given the deal they just made with Washington, it seems like they had a guy in mind that they were willing to give up to get Ted.
Fourth left, now we're back to where we started:
Some folks seem to have been bothered by the fact that Derrek Lee used his no-trade clause (the one he earned from having played in the league for 10 years, spending five of those with one team) to block a Los Angeles deal. Let me be honest: the Cubs may have possibly saved some money, but given Lee's performance this year we probably weren't going to get anything valuable back.
Having said that, it looks like up until last night, a Ted Lilly-for-Wilson Ramos swap was distinctly possible. And according to reports, the only thing that held the deal up was Ted Lilly's decision to invoke his limited no-trade clause, which happens to include the Twins.
If you want to talk about "wanting to win," turning down the Angels, who trail the Rangers by a sizable margin, is one thing. But the Twins are getting tons of buzz as a World Series favorite. If you want to give a guy flak for not wanting to go after a championship, take everything you've said about Derrek Lee and triple it, because that's what Ted Lilly deserves, not to mention his role in denying the Cubs a Top 100 catching prospect.
I see
I see what you're doing here A.J. but I just wanted to posit the idea that we're dealing with human beings here. Having "no trade" provisions in one's contract allows players the right to decide where they want to play. That right is limited but sometimes players utilize it and quite frankly, there is nothing wrong with that. Chicago is a rather wonderful place to play for several reasons, especially the north side. We should be flattered as fans that these guys are so committed to this team instead of getting all huffy and puffy about it.
Quite frankly, you're right, we weren't getting much for Lee and it's not inconceivable that Lilly could bring the Cubs two draft picks in free agent compensation after the season also, making his trade not particularly necessary. I'd like to deal Theriot and if we could trade Kosuke, I'd be all for that also. I'm just saying that if the player doesn't want to go, let's just remember that we're talking about human beings here. This is NOT fantasy baseball people.
I guess this article would
I guess this article would have a different feel if I established early on that I think neither Lee nor Lilly are deserving of criticism, which is my opinion. But I'm not about to tell anyone their opinions are wrong. Rather, my thought is, if you're gonna hate on Lee for turning down Los Angeles, then you better darn well be prepared to put Ted Lilly on your crap list too. I don't care what your opinion is, but I am in favor of consistency.
I do find it sort of funny
I do find it sort of funny about all the criticism players with no-trade clauses are being given. In the current climate of hatred for players that demand trades or go "judas" like Lebron and flee their home city, is it really rational to also criticize players for wanting to stay? They signed a contract. They have the right to play that contract out in the city they want.

New York may play some minor part in the weekend and possibly even host the Raw or Smackdown event following Mania but my guess is Axxess, HOF, WrestleMania, and Raw will all be held in Jersey. That ensures that the hotels, restaurants, stores, workers, cab drivers, etc. in Jersey will reap the revenue benefits of bringing Mania in for the whole week. It would defeat the purpose of the weekend by having events spread throughout 2 different states. While logistically NJ and NY are very close together and easy to get to and from, Jersey got the deal done and it only makes sense that everything will take place within that state's limits. I guess time will tell but I wouldn't count on any of the major WrestleMania activities to take place in NY.
Id bet you anything that AXXES is at the Javits Center in Manhattan. Raw or Smackdown will be at IZOD or Prudential. I think they do Hall of Fame and Raw at MSG. Knicks and Rangers are in the prime part of their schedule then but just give one of them a Sunday home game.
NJ gets the main show obviously but theyre going to go to Manhattan any chance they get. Raw at MSG would be a ridiculous crowd.

Robert Pattinson and the buzz for his movie caused a stampede on Monday night! The star of the Twilight movies was at a San Francisco mall when all h3ll broke loose. And his movie hasn't even opened yet.
More pictures after the crush…
More than 3,000 teens showed up to get a glimpse of the movie's star. The shindig planners had only expected a couple hundred folks to show up – not thousands! Kids were pushing, shoving and several injuries were reported via TMZ. Needless to say, the whole shebang got called off.
Twilight is based on the wildly popular vampire novels by Stephanie Meyer, in case you didn't know. The movie is set for release on November 21.

(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
The problem: Becoming addicted to your phone has become such a real condition that experts have given it a name: "Nomophobia" (no-mobile-phone-phobia). It's not limited to the hardcore Wall Street types with their "crackberries" though; it's more widespread than we realized. A recent survey found that 84 percent of the world's population said they could not go one day without their phones, and current research shows that nearly two-thirds of teens and young adults check their phones every 15 minutes or less. The anxiety and stress over missing out on a text or Facebook update can take such a toll on peoples' health that Morningside Recovery Center in California recently founded the first rehab group for nomophobia.
The solution: "My best advice is to practice not checking in for periods of time," says Dr. Larry Rosen, professor of psychology at California State University and author of iDisorder. If you're having trouble keeping your hands off your phone, Rosen recommends checking the phone for a minute, then turning it on silent and placing it in plain sight, upside down. (Yes, keeping it in your line of sight is part of the challenge.) After 15 minutes, take a "tech break" and check for one minute before putting the phone down again -- and then repeat the process, slowly increasing the focus time from 15 minutes to 20, then 25, then 30. "Over time, the person learns that the anxiety is not real and is not harmful, and nothing awful happens if you don't check your phone so often," he explains.

The big question is whether or not you will be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.

Over the river, and through the woods.
I was born lost, and take no pleasure in being found.

This morning I went to the doctor. Just for the regular "please confirm that I'm still healthy" kind of stuff. When he came in to chat, he was like "Have you been feeling tired lately?"
First of all, doctors shouldn't say this. Because my immediate thought was, uh huh, just as I suspected, I'm dying. But also, I got all overwhelmed thinking yeah, I've been pretty tired lately. But I think that's because I'm trying to live like 14 lives. Today marks my one year anniversary of starting my move to DC. Ultimately, in the last 365 days I moved four times. I "lived" in five places. I had two big jobs. And a lot of other smaller jobs. I got really sick and then sort of well and then really sick again and well again. I started one social life and then went back to another. I stopped sleeping. I don't know why. But as it turns out, 4 a.m. isn't as bad as I once thought.
So, I nodded. "Yeah, I've been pretty tired lately."
He nodded slowly. Nope. I could tell. Just looking at him. He was going to tell me I was tired because of the rare, rare disease I'd likely gotten from living in close quarters with a dog that isn't really a dog, but rather a mix of coyote and dingo.
"Your iron is very low," he said. "You definitely need to be taking some supplements. And, eat more red meat."
"That's it?" I asked. "My iron is low?"
"Yeah," he said. "I don't usually say this to patients. But eat a few more cheeseburgers."
And thus concludes my tale of the best doctor's visit of all time.
