why grant? i would choose hancock, he knew how to inspire his troops and make decisive decisions. his performance in every conflict was amazing. i have always wondered why he was never promoted to army command. at antietam he was promoted from brigadier general to division commander and took on that command very well for the circumstances. |

I would also vote for Hancock. I may be wrong, but I think he turned it down. I am not at home and can not consult my resources. Also remember Vicksburg had not capitulated yet. So Grant had not caputured the press or a lot of recognitation yet. |

Vicksburg had not capitulated when? I can't see a time scale in the question. Hancock was indeed a great general and corps commander but I don't think he was ever offered command of the AoP although I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong on that. Grant was a winner simply because he wouldn't ever accept defeat, not after the first day at Shiloh, not after all the setbacks in the Vicksburg campaign or in the Wilderness or the rest of the Overland campaign he just wanted to end it at whatever cost, and I don't deny it was at great cost. |

Hancock was a great corps commander, however the war and his Gettysburg wound seemed to dull his fighting spirit. By the end of the overland campaign I believe he had lost some of his edge. Turned down the AOP command the spring of 1863 because Lincoln/Halleck wouldn't give him absolute command. Doc C |

In addition, I don't think Hancock would have continued with a flanking move after the wilderness as Grant did. Doc C |

i just love to think about things like that, how different the war may have been if lee had taken the offer to command the federal troops in the beginning of the war... or Hancock taking command before gettysburg. i would still say he would have been the best commander |

IF, General Couch had been given the AOP after Hooker had his bell rung at Chancellorsville, the Civil War would have been over in 1863 and there wouldn't be a need for any other General after that. |

Couch? I'd like to see some expansion on that proposal. Ole |

There was a huge Union army on the field with plenty of Generals that wanted to go after Lee and Hooker was in a retreat frame of mind. Hooker had relinquished Command to Couch, who was willing to take it, then Hooker gave him another order taking the command of the army back. All the Corp Generals were trying to get Couch to go ahead and give the orders to advance on Lee and he wouldn't do it. I believe if there had been a change of command, Lee would have been defeated and I dare say the war would be over. I draw this conclusion based on the book by Ernest Fergurson's Chancellorsville |

Huh, I never thought about Couch, Blu. Makes me want to go back to my copy of Ferguson's Chancellorsville. Don't know that I agree, but it makes for an interesting concept. I would say Grant, but I am thinking of the Grant after Henry and Donelson, and not right afterwards. He had to prove and build on his reputation in order for Lincoln to hand him the reins. And I think Lincoln had to go through the succession of less effective leaders (don't need to list them--my fingers are already tired) to get to that exact point where he found the right man for the job, that man was ready to take the job, and the war was at the exact right spot for the two things to happen. Now, if you could have the Grant of 1864 at the start of the war, Lincoln would have been a fool to not choose him. Hindsight is always 20/20, though, and we'd have a lot less to discuss here on the board! I think Hancock was offered the job, j harold, and did turn it down. So did Reynolds, who I would have liked to see take the AoP, but both men wanted to run things themselves using their military experience, not have politics involved a.k.a. Lincoln. Can't say I fault them for it. And I'm not faulting Lincoln for it, either; he had to find the man he knew could do the job reliably. That, as it turns out, was Grant. Pam |

Winging it again, but Couch refused, after Chancellorsville, to ever serve again under Hooker. So he was given the plum assignment of watching over the Pennsylvania district. Seems he did some good service in the Penninsula Campaign, and in the Maryland Campaign. Other than those, I don't recollect where, other than seniority, he demonstrated any particular ability to run the Army of the Potomac. Ole |

just something to think about but what would have happened if grant would have fought lee in '62 or early '63? When Grant first took command of the aop Lee was still recovering from Gettysburg and the army's morale. If Grant would have tried in '62 or '63 what he tried at Cold harbor or the wilderness then he would have been hauling butt to washington with his tail between his legs.

So did Reynolds, who I would have liked to see take the AoP, but both men wanted to run things themselves using their military experience, not have politics involved a.k.a. Lincoln. Few generals since the beginning of recorded history have been pleased to run their wars under political restrictions. I wasn't aware that Hancock was offered the job. Reynolds I did know about. 'Spect Grant would have liked to have had free rein, but he didn't demand it and worked within the political requirements imposed. Reynolds wanted to step outside. Lord knows what his plans would have been without them |

I don't know as much about Reynolds as I should, I suppose, but from what I do know, I suspect he might have done a decent job given the latitude he desired. Have always had an interest in Reynolds; maybe it's bcause he's practically a hometown boy for me, with Lancaster, PA, about an hour from here. Everytime I go to the Central Market (farmer's market) in downtown Lancaster, I park in a lot directly across the street from Reynold's birthplace. The house is not in good condition, and is, apparently, used as apartments. But there is a historical marker outside, at least. For me, Reynolds has always been a "what could have been" sort of thing. Pam |

Reynold's i think would have done a pretty good job unrestricted from political obligations. In that case McClellan may have done good, doubt it but he did have the heart of his men. |

Several businesses in Seneca County have recently expanded or are in the process of setting up an expansion project.
Toledo Molding & Die has seen some recent expansion, and expects to add up to 65 new jobs over the next three years to support a new expansion project.
Jay Gilliland, Tiffin plant manager of Toledo Molding & Die, said the company's recent expansion involves adding new presses and additional equipment to the plant to support a new customer program with Chrysler.

A new injection press at Toledo Molding & Die.
The program looks to launch in May, and Toledo Molding & Die will be making hard-trim components for Chrysler's Toledo facility, Gilliland said.
Laminate Technologies has added a 30,000-square-foot building, next to its main operation building, Chief Operating Officer Randy Joseph said.
Arnold Machine Inc. has also expanded recently by adding a dozen jobs and constructing a 15,000-square-foot addition to its existing building.
The building got too small due to increased production, so the company added 13,500 square feet for equipment assembly and 1,500 for engineering, president of Arnold Machine Inc., Zach Arnold, said.
"The addition is nearing completion and we are eager to get moved in," Arnold said in a press release. "This is an exciting time for AMI and our customers."
Tiffin-based Taiho Corp. of America announced plans last December to create 35 jobs the company is to add 40,000 square feet to its existing building. The project is expected to be completed by July.
National Machinery has added 110 new employees over the past two years, human resources manager Anne Martin said.
National plans to add about 55 more employees in 2013, though some will be offset by retirements.
The company has also made changes to its tool room and added a "significant" amount of new equipment, Martin said.
American Fine Sinter also has a 30,000-square-foot addition and is investing $14 million. The facility supplies engine component parts to Toyota.

04 March 2009
Welsh boxing hero Joe Calzaghe is in line to become the first person to receive the Freedom of the Caerphilly county borough.
Councillors discussed the matter at a cabinet meeting this week (Tuesday 3rd March) and the issue will now be considered for final approval at a meeting of full council next Tuesday (10th March).
The award for Freedom of the Caerphilly county borough is a new honour created to acknowledge people of distinction who have, in the opinion of the council, rendered eminent services to the Caerphilly county borough.
At the meeting it was also proposed that the Royal Welsh Regiment should be the next recipient of the prestigious award in 2010.
Leader of council, Cllr Lindsay Whittle, said: "No one deserves to be honoured more than Joe Calzaghe. He is unquestionably Wales' and the UK's greatest boxer and thoroughly deserves to be honoured by the county borough where he lives.
"Admittedly I questioned the reason for considering the Royal Welsh Regiment as I had viewed the 'Freedom' honour as something for individuals. I then held a meeting with their representatives and I was impressed with the local credentials presented and the clear Welsh links.
"It became my honour to nominate them, their close connections with this area and the historical links to the former Monmouthshire Regiment are part of the reasoning. I am also aware there are many young men and women serving in many other regiments who are no less deserving but this nomination represents the honour we wish to bestow on all who serve in the armed forces from the county borough."
It is likely that, subject to council approval, Joe will receive the honour this year and the Royal Welsh Regiment in 2010.
Cllr Whittle said that he has been overwhelmed by the strength of public support to offer Joe Calzaghe and the Royal Welsh Regiment the new honour.
Cllr Allan Pritchard, Deputy Leader of the council, originally nominated Joe for the award in January 2008 and the proposal has gained momentum following Joe Calzaghe's recent decision to announce his retirement.
Mr Pritchard was a member of Newbridge Boxing Club when he was younger. "Joe's achievements during his professional boxing career have been outstanding and he has been an inspiration to people of all ages," he said.
Joe Calzaghe, aged 36, retires as the undefeated world super middleweight champion after winning all 46 of his professional fights. His career spanned almost 20 years, which saw him unbeaten as a professional boxer and a triple ABA champion as an amateur.

Hello all! I'm fairly well trained in the explosive art of RP, and searching for some fun!
My name is Karo, I love chicken alfredo, and beef stroganoff. I dislike sauerkraut, and Adam Sandler movies post-50 First Dates (and even then it's only because I'd do awful things to Drew Barrymore... <<;;; ). My preferred musical taste is metal, but I love punk, and Aesop Rock is the only rap I'll listen to. I love foxes and wolves, and play both furries and humans.
I've been RPing for over a decade now, originating on Yahoo and exploring all corners of the web. Feel free to PM me, or find me in one of the many threads on this fine forum!
Thank you for your time. :3

We talked RNC communications director Sean Spicer -- several big campaign issues and now the other side of the conversation.
We're joined by Obama campaign communications director -- Colbert to get the other side of this debate -- thanks for joining us today.
They picture in -- revenue.
-- and I've talked to you first about an issue that you all have done very very well with female voters -- seen in polling again and again that.
The president maintains an advantage they are so I want run -- new ad that's out.
That highlights female voter and they get your reaction this -- I believe is called Melanie.
I'm disappointed in Barack Obama as my press event.
Because he promised to bring this all together and we're all going to be able to Oxford I don't see that prospering.
In 2008.
-- that if Barack Obama he doesn't happen at this time -- -- Romney being a woman.
We think about your children when you think about their future and what I -- to think about music teacher that has jobs.
Our economy's growing again that's important to women in its importance to.
-- Mitt Romney.
And I approve this message.
-- -- that's an ad Brenda comes directly from the Romney campaign it hits on a couple of things that she's a female voter and also that she's a small business owner and word about the future for children and grandchildren.
Are you worried about losing any ground with those particular constituencies.
So we'll look at who we're doing well among women voters for the same reason we're doing well with voters across the board and that's because.
The president's been out there talking specifically about the things he's done the things he plans to do.
To help women and to help women voters.
You know that and a lot of ways illustrate what we've seen out of the Romney campaign consistently throughout this campaign and what we saw on the debate last Wednesday night where.
There's a set a rhetoric but the policies just don't match up.
The president has been helping small businesses he's at eighteen tax cuts for small businesses over the last four years.
He -- policies they're gonna help protects women's health and their ability to make their own health care choices and most importantly he's doing things to get women and men back into the workforce so.
Romney can and the Romney campaign can can say the right things but -- Phillies are doing the right things we're not gonna see that kind of progress among women voters.
All right I he sped up some numbers they're so wanna give -- chance to respond to some other numbers one -- six Americans now living in poverty.
Media ink comes down since the president took over by 4500 dollars how does the president -- what's happened on his watch over the last four years.
Sure we'll look the president has been consistent.
In telling the American people what he inherited look at what -- -- -- over 2009 we are facing the worst economic crisis is the Great Depression.
The the Republican to an office to -- a dug a big hole.
And it's taken for years to start to dig out of that hole we saw some numbers on Friday that all Americans should be excited about in terms of in terms of the labor force and unemployment and it shows were moving in the right direction we've had 31 straight months -- job creation in the country.
Since we kind of started to turn around.
There are things we still need to address their issues and he's going to tackle.
But the worst thing we could do for those that are still out there trying to find work are trying to lift themselves out of poverty is to go backwards if we hurt ourselves and we heard our progress -- going backwards to the policies -- Mitt Romney.
Those folks -- going to be a real bad place.
OK -- a couple of things first of all the president did take over.
In the Democrats controlled everything the White House said that house the senate for two years.
Why not more accomplishment during that time period and at what point does this president stop blaming the last president.
Sure well in terms of the first two years how the administration.
I think there was a lot of progress -- a lot of tough choices were made by the president that including doing the things we need to do to rescue the auto industry.
I'm making some real investments in things like education infrastructure investments that Romney has said that he wouldn't have made and and would it make in the future.
And those are long term investments that -- charts -- to see the fruits of now in terms of the economy really started to turn around and that's really struck a note to get out of that hole.
And it's not about blaming anybody in terms of of looking at the context of where we started.
But it is important to look at the last four years if you're judging the president's record that includes what he inherited when he walked in office on day one.
Our rights a couple of of the things that president by his own admission.
-- according to those closest to him was not happy with his debate performance this week -- much is that people prepared differently that they he will be.
Much different and the next debate can you tell us anything about shifts in strategy or preparation for the next today.
Sure -- look I'm not gonna get into the the details of of how the president's gonna prepare what will take place between now and the second presidential debate.
Folks won't need to tune any kind of kind of see how that all plays -- -- can tell you is the president will be prepared for -- Mitt Romney shows up.
We had a Mitt Romney show up on Wednesday night he seemed to just walk away from his own positions to to have a performance that was stylistically very impressive.
But substantively was was pretty much divorce from the realities of his own policies.
And you know the president's going to be ready for that this time integrated -- Romney on this on this on -- in this also it's.
Well you had a record audience tuning in last time at least over the last forty years or so Americans are hungry for more information with thirty days -- We can be certain those next two debates and of course vice presidential debate this week as well.
A can be very interesting -- -- we thank you for your time today.
Great -- so much.

Gream, a senior at Mayfield High School, has experience working at her father's industrial tooling business, child care, soccer coaching and running her own vegetable stand. She opened the stand behind her dad's store last summer and put out the produce along with a lock box, requesting the community use the honor system when picking out sweet and savory selections. The money wasn't the main goal, but it was a welcome addition, she said. She tended her tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers almost every day, and she loved every minute of it.
When her friends go out on Friday night, Gream said she'll often opt to work with her dad for a few hours. Her social life is important, but she enjoys the feeling of accomplishment.
Alexandra Gream, daughter of John and Jennifer Gream, is the Mid-Continent University Teen of the Week. Each Monday, the Sun features a different MCU Teen of the Week selected from nominees that high school guidance counselors throughout western Kentucky and southern Illinois submit to the Sun. Mid-Continent University will provide each Teen of the Week with a $2,500 annual scholarship to its university, which is renewable for four years.
In the spring, a Teen of the Year will be chosen from the weekly winners and will receive a full four-year scholarship to Mid-Continent University, currently valued at up to $55,000, or a cash reward of $2,500 paid through the Paducah Sun if the student selects another college to attend.
Gream is an athlete, entrepreneur and a family-oriented person. She wants to study somewhere close to home so she can maintain her tight relationship with her large family. As a twin, Gream said she learned the value of helping others early.
She plans to become a high school math teacher, and she's already had some experience helping friends and her boyfriend. Gream is enrolled in both AP Calculus and AP Statistics this year. She said she didn't mind taking the difficult classes her senior year because it could allow her a more relaxed schedule in college.
Outside academic and work life, Gream enjoys playing and coaching soccer. She hopes to carry that on in her position as a math teacher. She's been a very active member of the Future Business Leaders of America group at Mayfield High School. Though she did not compete her freshman year, she's won regional and state competitions, even getting to go to the national competition.
Gream said she's always been interested in a variety of activities and she's a natural leader in those activities. Her experiences, especially soccer, have taught her she can do anything she wants to. She'll carry that attitude to her college career. Where that career will start, she said, is yet to be determined.

Here ya go with the official 11.10 drivers. No change log officially posted yet, but links are live. Release Note <--Not working currently Windows 7/Vista x64 Windows 7/Vista x86 Windows XP x64 Windows XP x86 Windows 7/Vista x64 Mobility Windows 7/Vista x86 Mobility Here are some other AMD packages that some of you might use. Windows 7/Vista x64/86 Media Codec Windows XP x64/86 Media Codec Windows 7/Vista x64/86 Mobility Media Codec Windows 7/Vista x64/86 Hydravision Windows XP x64/86 Hydravision Windows 7/Vista x64/86 Mobility Hydravision Build info: 8.902-111012a-127455C-ATI DriverVer=10/12/2011, 8.902.0.0000 Sign date: October 27 (Microsoft WHQL)
I have the 11.10 V3 , but the driver packaging is 8.901.2-111016a-126966E-ATI ..maybe because the final release is WHQL? meh...will try this later, for now I have to play High Settings on my single 5850...why are they saying BF3 Beta when Beta is over?
I don't think it was a "random" mistake... these guys should and are more "precise" when state the driver improvements... More like a "political correct" way to declare.. "Guys.. you should wait for the next 11.11 previews or 11.11 WHQL drivers if you want to see improvement (performance and stability wise) in BF3..."
I am going to try now. I get that I can't run AA on max because it uses too much VRAM, but when I go onto Auto, it sets it on 2x AA , so it's still there. But, what makes me scratch my head the most is, I can play Ultra everything on single player, but when it comes to multiplayer it lags. So, whatever it may be, I hope they can fix it. I am a little dubious about it being completely fix. Anybody remember the headaches from BFBC2 when it came out? 10.3 and all the hotfixes

RIVER CLUB — Meet Virginia.
She's not as young as she once was, but that doesn't keep her from hitting the pavement each morning.
Braden River High School senior Alex Lunkes makes sure to take extra care of the 1966 Ford Mustang he and his father have been working on for the last three years.
Normally, Virginia catches the attention of students in Braden River's parking lot. This weekend, however, she'll be one of more than 100 vintage and show-class Mustangs and other Ford vehicles on display for the public Nov. 18, during the 21st annual Ponies Under the Palms car show, on Lakewood Ranch Main Street.
"It's an easy thing for me to talk about," Alex said, noting the car is knick-named after its former owner. "(The show) definitely is going to be cool. I've been to this show, and there are so many amazing cars there. I'm excited."
Alex and his parents, Dave and Elaine, are organizing the event, with the help of more than a dozen other volunteers from the Mustang Club of West Central Florida, which is hosting the show.
From 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., attendees will get to view classic cars, while enjoying raffles and other activities benefiting Tidewell Hospice and Southeastern Guide Dogs.
Elaine Lunkes said she agreed to take on organizing the 21st annual Ponies Under the Palms event, after learning the event would end if no one took on organizing duties and that the club planned to move it to Lakewood Ranch, from its longtime venue on St. Armands Circle.
"I'm a firm believer in this area, and want to see it continue to grow and thrive," she said. "We'll get awareness for our community. Cars are coming from all over.
"The businesses win," she said. "The community gets a fun event and our charities get the proceeds."
The Lakewood Ranch Main Street venue will provide more parking — historically a problem for the show at St. Armands — than in previous years, Lunkes said.
Elaine Lunkes also said 40% of registrants are new to the show this year, an indicator the venue has brought forward a new group of Ford and Mustang enthusiasts.
Day-of-event registrations for participating in the show are being accepted. Entry fee is $25.

Google Groups is a free service from Google Inc. that supports discussion groups, including many Usenet newsgroups, based on common interests. The service was started in 1995 as Deja News, and was transitioned to Google Groups after a February 2001 buyout.
Membership in Google Groups is free of charge and many groups are anonymous. Users can find discussion groups related to their interests and participate in threaded conversations, either through a web interface or by e-mail. They can also start new groups, which are inaccessible by NNTP and act more like mailing lists.[2] Google Groups also includes an archive of Usenet newsgroup postings dating back to 1981[3] and supports reading and posting to Usenet groups.[4] Users can also set up mailing list archives for e-mail lists that are hosted elsewhere.[5]
Deja News[edit]
The Deja News Research Service was an archive of messages posted to Usenet discussion groups, started in March 1995 by Steve Madere in Austin, Texas. Its powerful search engine capabilities won the service acclaim, generated controversy, and significantly changed the perceived nature of online discussion.
While archives of Usenet discussions had been kept for as long as the medium existed, Deja News offered a novel combination of features. It was available to the general public, provided a simple World Wide Web user interface, allowed searches across all archived newsgroups, returned immediate results, and retained messages indefinitely. The search facilities transformed Usenet from a loosely organized and ephemeral communication tool into a valued information repository. The archive's relative permanence, combined with the ability to search messages by author, raised concerns about privacy and confirmed oft-repeated past admonishments that posters should be cautious in discussing themselves and others.[6]
While Madere was initially reluctant to remove archived material, protests from users and legal pressure led to the introduction of "nuking", a method for posters to permanently remove their own messages from search results. It already supported the use of an "X-No-Archive" message header, which if present would cause an article to be omitted from the archive. This did not prevent others from quoting the material in a later message and causing it to be stored. Copyright holders were also allowed to have material removed from the archive. According to Humphrey Marr of Deja News, copyright actions most frequently came from the Church of Scientology.[7]
Change of direction[edit]
The service was eventually expanded beyond search. My Deja News offered the ability to read Usenet in the traditional chronological, per-group manner, and to post new messages to the network. Deja Communities were private Internet forums offered primarily to businesses. In 1999 the site (now known as Deja.com) sharply changed direction and made its primary feature a shopping comparison service. During this transition, which involved relocation of the servers, many older messages in the Usenet archive became unavailable. By late 2000 the company, in financial distress, sold the shopping service to eBay, who incorporated the technology into their half.com service.
Google Groups[edit]
By 2001, the search service was shut down. In February 2001, Google acquired Deja News, and transitioned its assets to groups.google.com.[8] Users were then able to access these Usenet newsgroups through the new Google Groups interface.
By the end of 2001, the archive had been supplemented with other archived messages dating back to May 11, 1981.[9][10][11] These early posts from 1981–1991 were donated to Google by the University of Western Ontario, based on archives by Henry Spencer from the University of Toronto.[12] Shortly after, Google released a new version, which allowed users to create their own (non-Usenet) groups.
When AOL discontinued access to Usenet around 2005, it recommended Google Groups instead.[13]
In February 2006, Google modified the interface of Google Groups, adding profiles and post ratings.
In October 2010, Google announced it would be dropping support for welcome messages, pages, and files effective January 2011.[14][15]
In December 2010, Google rolled out a new UI preview with more GMail/Reader-like functionality.
In March 2012, Google completed the UI designing process and added the functionality of adding members directly to the group without any invitation.
In October 2012, The UI for Google Group removed the ability to report 'illegal' content directly.
On June 26, 2013 Google Groups released a new version.[16]
Google claims to provide a tool for removing old postings at http://groups.google.com/groups/msgs_remove but according to postings on Google's own Help forum for Groups (now archived) this tool ceased to work around 2009 (and as of Jan 2013 remains inaccessible for some users), reporting a 'Not Found'or 404 error for some users, with no apparent response from Google, as to the cause of the removal or termination.
Google has no help forum for their Google Groups product, just Groups Help.
In 2011 Google (in relation to its Groups archive) was criticised in an article by e-week Canada[17] where it was claimed that Google had refused to remove troll content which had falsely claimed that named individuals were guilty of sex crimes against children. The targets of the trolling claimed in the article that Google refused to remove content, Google's response apparently being "Register websites, write good articles about yourself, and buy some advertising from us, which will improve your ranking.".[17]
Slashdot and Wired contributors have criticized Google for its inattention to a search engine for Google Groups, leaving many older postings virtually inaccessible.[18][19][20]
Concerns have also occasionally been raised about the apparent non-responsiveness of Google to concerns about content on Groups. However, given the general anarchic nature of USENET, Google itself is not generally responsible for the content it archives. Although Google has removed or suppressed specific instances of mass abuse, it does not routinely monitor the groups service,[21] nor is it under any obligation to do so.
Google Groups was blocked in Turkey since April 10, 2008 by the order of a court in Turkey.[22] According to The Guardian, the court banned Google Groups following a libel complaint by Adnan Oktar against the service. Google Groups was the first of several websites to be blocked by the Turkish Government in rapid succession solely for including material which allegedly offended Islam.[23] It is currently available in Turkey.[citation needed]

In case you were wondering what the right answers are ;) here's a subset of them:
San Francisco
- Bart Board of Directors District 8 –> Bert Hill
Bert Hill is a local urbanist who is running on a platform of re-focusing Bart on improving existing facilities and service, rather than spending more on costly suburban expansions that serve comparatively few people. He's running against incumbent James Fang, San Francisco's only elected Republican. James has happily kept Bart focused on expanding deeper and deeper out into the suburbs, rather than investing in our urban core. Eric Fischer over at transbay blog has a good writeup on Bert and James. - Prop AA (Vehicle registration fee) –> Yes
Adding a $10 annual vehicle fee is a miniscule step in the right direction of reducing our subsidization of private vehicle ownership. Nothing wrong with me having my own car, but there is something wrong with everybody else paying for my car and its associated infrastructure. - Prop E (Same-day voter registration) –> Yes
Making it easier to vote is a good thing. - Prop G (Fix Muni) –> Yes
Muni operator salaries are currently set by formula in the city charter to the 2nd highest in the nation. This is such a joke I don't know where to start. And it's in the city charter. Prop G will remove this, and hopefully set things up so Muni can hire part-time operators and reform some "work rules", which as far as I can decipher, is a code word for "loopholes that allow some operators to game the system into getting more $$ for less work". - Prop I (Saturday voting trial) –> Yes
This one's important. I spent some time collecting signatures to get it on the ballot.It's a historical artifact dating back to horse-and-buggy days that has us voting on Tuesday. Voting on Tuesday gives people who have have weekdays off an easier time voting than those that don't. This consistently skews the results of our voting process away from the actual sentiment of the population. You see this effect in polls all the time – the difference between "all respondents", "registered voters" and "likely voters". Each time you step down this chain, you generally find the result turning more to match the views older, whiter, wealthier voters. The result is systematic over-representation of some population groups and systematic under-representation of others. And the effect is not insignificant – 5% is a common differential between the views of "all respondents" and "likely voters".
The Saturday trial voting would occur in the next election cycle, SF only. There would be voting on both Tuesday and Saturday. The Saturday election would be completely privately funded. Afterward, the results would be analyzed to see if there was any noticeable effect on voter turnout.
Learn more about the local campaign here, and the national one here.
- Prop L (Sit/lie) –> No
Another important one. If you vote on two things this election, vote on this one and Prop I.This would make sitting on the sidewalk a crime. Are you joking? Look, we all understand the upper haight has a problem with annoying street punks. The solution isn't to restrict our right to use public space. The solution isn't to give the police another "we can fuck with whoever we want" tool. I'm not sure what the solution is but it would have the following properties: 1) specific to the upper haight 2) implemented on a trial basis with an automatic expiration 3) would NOT restrict our right to use general public space!
- Governor –> Jerry Brown
Streetsblog DC did a good writeup of why Meg Whitman would be a step backwards for California. - Prop 19 (Pot legalization) –> Yes
Just like I don't like the government telling me who I can and can't marry, I don't like it telling me what I can and can't smoke. - Prop 23 (Oil Industry thinks you're an idiot) –> No
Tell the dirty oil companies to f*ck off. - Prop 25 (Budgetary legislative vote requirement reduction) –> Yes
One of the reasons California has continuously yearly budgetary problems is that we are one of the few states to require 2/3 of the legislature to agree on a budget in order for it to move forward. Thus any political party or coalition with control 1/3 or more of the legislature has the power to hold up the budgetary process as much as they'd like. This creates a situation ripe for abuse – the minority party is able to slow the state government down to a halt, thus increasing voter disenchantment with the political establishment, thus making it more likely the majority party will be voted out on the next election cycle. Prop 25 would fix this by reducing the legislative vote requirement to a simple majority.
That's everything that's on the ballot that I feel a) is important and b) I know at least something about. There's plenty on there that I don't know much about that looks important. For those issues, I encourage you not to just try to figure it out on your own – I think you're better off outsourcing that process to organizations you trust. Here are a few of my go-to's:
Remember to vote on Tuesday (so that next election you can do it on Saturday!)

An autopsy completed Monday has not been able to conclude what caused Winehouse to die. The police say that further toxicology tests are needed to establish a cause of death and should take two to four weeks to be processed.
A private funeral will be held on July 26 for friends and family.
The body of the 27-year-old "Rehab" singer was discovered by a security guard around 4 p.m. on Saturday, at which time she may have been dead for six hours, the magazine reports.
Despite reports that Amy Winehouse may have been under the influence of alcohol and drugs before she was found dead on Saturday, police found neither drugs nor drug paraphernalia anywhere in her London home, according to People.
RELATED: Stars Remember Amy
Chris Goodman, a friend and spokesperson for Winehouse, later said that people close to her were still confused about the details of her death.
"She was in her bedroom after saying she wanted to sleep, and when he went to wake her he found she wasn't breathing," Goodman told TMZ. "He called the emergency services straight away. He was very shocked. At this stage no one knows how she died. She died alone in bed."
Winehouse had reportedly been under the care of a physician as recently as Friday, and was receiving regular check-ups due to her "fragile health."
RELATED: Celebs Gone Too Soon
"The doctor was happy with her condition," a source told British newspaper the Sun. "When he left on Friday night he had no concerns. Less than 24 hours later she was found dead."
An autopsy has been scheduled for Monday in London. If a toxicology test is conducted, the results could take weeks to be made public.
RELATED: Amy's Life in Pictures
In the meantime, the singer's parents arrived outside her home Monday, where they stood by a fan-erected memorial shrine to mourn their loss.
"I can't tell you what this means to us. It really is making this a lot easier for us," her father, Mitch Winehouse, told Us Magazine upon seeing how many fans had flocked to his daughter's home. "We're devastated and I'm speechless, but thanks for coming."

@Alura: Sweetened tea, mostly. *Blinks* Though I also experiment. A little while ago, I put a green tea bag into ice water, along with a bunch of sugar, and sorta mixed it up for awhile. It actually worked a little (though it was supposed to be a hot tea bag), giving me a really mild, sweet green tea. XD But I don't like tea if it doesn't have enough sweetness or flavor.

The Augusta Commission voted to decrease the distance stores selling alcohol must be from one another. (January 20, 2011 / WRDW-TV)
SOMERSET, Ky. (AP) -- Voters in Somerset will decide later this month if the central Kentucky city keeps the distinction of being the largest city in the state not to have any kind of legal alcohol sales.
A vote on whether to allow the capacity to serve both alcohol in retail packages and drinks in dining establishments is set for June 26.
Kentucky League of Cities research manager Joseph Coleman told The Commonwealth Journal that Somerset, with a population of 11,196, gained the distinction of being Kentucky's most populated city without booze sales after Berea approved alcohol by the drink in April.
Coleman said there are three other cities slightly ahead of Somerset on the population list , Georgetown at 29,098, Murray at 17,741, and Glasgow at 14,028, with limited sales.

The coking coal market is currently oversupplied and prices are poised for further declines. Despite this, a variety of new projects and expansions will continue to swell global supply for the foreseeable future, although the largest new tonnages will not make their appearance until the next decade. Australia and China remain the keys to supply and demand respectively.
"There is an oversupply. If Australia comes back to the sort of levels it was doing in the first half of 2010, another 30 million tonnes will come onto a very balanced market," Gerard McCloskey of McCloskey Group said this week in a presentation at the annual Investing in African Mining Indaba conference in Cape Town, South Africa.
Prices will fall, he said, but will remain at pretty decent levels that are likely to be well above producer costs.
"Whatever happens to prices in next quarter … you'll have seen the longest period with coking coal above $200 (per tonne) – eight quarters," McCloskey said. During that time, he added, price volatility has been "extraordinary," with prices hitting as much as $330 in the second quarter of 2011, before falling back to $235 in the current quarter.
"There will be a correction of prices down towards $200," McCloskey predicted. "It's a great price. Until two years ago we had not had prices above $200 except for one brief period in 2008."
Despite the price decline, there is still a gap between spot prices for hot rolled steel coil (band) and hard coking coal settlement prices.
"You can charge anything you like for your coking coal," McCloskey said, "but if hot rolled coil is still at these levels – probably a bit lower than $600 (per tonne) now – it is really not sustainable with prices at these levels. It's one of the reasons I believe hard coking coal prices will come down," he added.
Additional supply meanwhile is coming from Australia, which is just getting back to normality following last year's extensive flooding in Queensland, the country's major coal producing region. Australian producers are in the process of adding another 30 million tonnes to a hard coking coal market that is probably only about 140 million tonnes, McCloskey said.
Fortunately for coking coal producers, China returned to the market last year. The pace of imports was somewhat slow in the first half but fairly strong in the second half. But an increasing portion of China's imports – as much as half – is now coming from producers in neighboring Mongolia.
"I believe that China is fundamentally short of high-quality coking coal reserves," McCloskey said. He cited a big increase in China's coke consumption rate last year, as well as an increase in coking coal, which he said helped him to conclude that "the coke is getting poorer because the (Chinese) coking coal is getting poorer."
Although many industry observers are assuming that most or all of Mongolia's coking coal production will find its way to China, McCloskey said, he differed with that opinion.
"I have already seen one cargo (of Mongolian coking coal) go all the way up into Russia," he said, adding that Japanese interests are also getting involved in the land-locked country. "I think we will see Mongolian coal reach the sea. … I think it will go to more markets," he said.
China remains the key to iron ore demand, in part because demand in other markets is weak, especially in Europe.
If all but one European steelmaker (Arcelor Mittal) closed down, there would still be 14% overcapacity in the regional market, McCloskey said, citing a recent Arcelor Mittal briefing. He added: "The demand in Spain in one year went from 8 million tonnes to 2 million tonnes."
The picture is not good for the US market either, in McCloskey's opinion.
"We've suddenly seen a weakening in the market, which has seen US coking coal as well as steam coal closures," McCloskey said. US producers in recent years had begun exporting to Asia, he continued but added: "Now there are vessels standing off China (with cargoes) of US coking coal that are unsold."
McCloskey estimates that in the Appalachian coal mining region of the United States, some 20-40 million tonnes of coking coal production is going to disappear.
Despite the looming oversupply picture, many new players are waiting in the wings. Projects are in various stages of development in regions as varied as Mongolia, Indonesia, Mozambique, Russia and Canada. The volumes these projects are likely to produce are expected to be relatively modest, and much of it will not be a factor until the next decade, McCloskey said. In the current decade, however, new production from projects in Mozambique and Canada will likely add another 110-112 million tones to the market.
Australia is likely to continue to dominate the industry, however, with the biggest developments to come in Queensland, McCloskey said. He indicated that, while major producers are not likely to launch new coking coal operations if they think it would disrupt the market, a number of projects are already in progress.
BHP Billiton has green-field and brown-field projects that could add 42 million and 19 million tonnes to supply respectively between 2015 and 2020. Other advanced projects in Australia could add an additional 51 million tonnes during the same time frame, he noted.
Steam Coal
McCloskey also briefly summarized his views on the steam coal market, which he said looked fairly weak for many producers, such as those in South Africa. India is going to buy less steam coal, he said, while producers in Colombia will be exporting more to Europe. Demand is falling in the US market, where producers also will be trying to export more tonnage to Europe. Producers in Indonesia and Australia also are expected to churn out higher volumes.
Another significant factor is the "absolute collapse of the internal market in the US, which knocks on to the international market. The crossover price between coal and natural gas is thought to be around $4.50/ million BTUs of gas. It's now $2, and it's February," traditionally the period of highest demand in the US market, McCloskey said. "It's devastating for the coal industry. I expect you'll see closures and mergers, with 100 million tonnes disappearing from production. … You'll get an increase in exports because it's got nowhere else to go," he added.

recipe reviews for:
