The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
In Wilson, an early test for the Packers' defense
Green Bay --- Heading into training camp, this was one question facing the Green Bay Packers.
Was this roster -- as tweaked by G.M. Ted Thompson -- now equipped to take on athletic quarterbacks of the NFC?
Since that mid-July debate, first-round pick Datone Jones has shown promise. Mike McCarthy says he sees progress in outside linebacker Nick Perry, that he "clearly made a step from Year 1 to Year 2." The secondary has been banged up, allowing cornerback Micah Hyde to emerge as a potential playmaker. Now, after brief tests against traditional passers in Carson Palmer and Sam Bradford, the Packers will see plenty of Russell Wilson on Friday at Lambeau Field in the third preseason game.
Albeit exhibition football, it'll be an important test for Green Bay. The Packers wanted to get faster, more athletic since Colin Kaepernick ran for a QB-record 181 yards on them in the postseason. With Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III waiting in Weeks 1 and 2, facing Wilson should provide an August indicator.
Wilson rushed for 489 yards on 98 attempts last year with four touchdowns. In finishing with a 100.0 passer rating -- fourth-best in the NFL -- Wilson also made many difficult throws outside of the pocket. To get back to the Super Bowl, the Packers will need to overcome this brand of a quarterback.
"Russell's mobile, can throw on the run, I think he sees the field very well," McCarthy said. "I think he's got a lot better arm than people probably give him credit for, he can make all the throws. That's one thing when you're able to see people live and even work with them. He's a dynamic player and it'll be a great test for us and definitely get us ready for Week 1."
One of the players the Packers are counting on to help contain Kaepernick, RGIII, Wilson and other athletic quarterbacks is the versatile Jones.
After the first-round pick injured his ankle on his first play in the NFL against Arizona and then sat out at St. Louis, the Packers hope to see the defensive end finally work against a team they may face again at some point.
This week, Jones said he's eager to return. Asked if he'd play, he only said, "We'll see."
"All I can remember, I made a great inside move, great pass-rush move," Jones said of the play against Arizona, "all I saw was Carson Palmer in front of me, my eyes got bright, and then after that I was on the ground. That's all I can really remember. Me, I felt like I made a great play, and it turns out I hurt my ankle.
"I'm a competitor. I'm a true competitor. I love playing this game of football. This is the last level. After this level there's nothing else. You can't, there's no next level of football. so most definitely I was pretty bummed, but at the same time I know there's a long season ahead of me and I'm just getting my body back right so I can play."

I thought Joe Webb prepared them for mobile QBs?
joe webb is not better than anybody.
He's better than you and me packer blood (at football anyway)
Yeah, and I'll grudgingly admit he's better than me, too. Sorry, pb. Just had to say it.
Webb prepared them for mobile QBs who are unprepared, inaccurate, scared, without rcvg. weapons, and wearing purple. A limited breed outside of Minnesota.
Good one, eddie.
Seattle has simply crushed thier first two preseason opponents.
Glad they are the 3rd preseason opponent. They are as good a measuring stick as there is at this point.-
i'd put your money on the hawks.
Living here in the NW, I get to read about the Seahawks often. They are thin on both o and d lines. Weak at receiver with Harvin gone, and they'd better win this year, as all but 2 starters are not signed past this year.
Seattle could have had a different approach to the games, too...for the Arizona game I thought the Packers didn't game prepare at all; the team just came to practice and were told "we have a game tonight". A little more for the second game. Even for this one I don't expect much specific planning for the Hawks. I don't even know if we will see anything specifically designed for the read option.
The Packers are more or less all about putting guys into situations where they can be evaluated for coaching and roster decisions. As important as the San Francisco game is to all of us, it is just a first step and (has been evident the last several years) how the teams finish is much more important than how they start. The only caveat is that home field advantage would be nice. -
Have to agree with you about the Arizona game. Looked like a major goal defensively was to see which corners could cover 1 on 1 in man. Not a lot of help or blitz etc.
Seattle is looking a lot like San Fran....Fast. They Complete almost all their downfield passes. Causing turnovers with hard hits and smart play on D.. They have a QB that can run, Pass, and makes excellent decisions. A real desire to win. If Green Bay can handle them I will shut up and be a true believer. However I don't think they can. The packers will look like they are in another gear...slow again, grabbing at air. Denver could not get a pass rush or a hurry on Wilson or keep him from running all over the field on them, and I don't think the Packers have the talent to do so either. It would seem we as packer fans are going to have to get used to hoping its just preseason.
Its just preseason.
"practice like you play"
Good barometer for both lines in the first two quarters.
Is AR 'red meat' again for the 'hawks pass rush?
Does Russell Wilson repeat his regular season performance or show his 2nd half of the season growth and reprise CK's dominance?
Have the Packers learned how to defense the RO?
Can they hold the edge?
Can they provide pressure with gap discipline?
Going to be an interesting night of football, with some answers to some big questions.
I am also predicting that the Packers secondary gets two picks, resulting in touchdowns for Seattle.-
If the Packers secondary gets two picks, how does that result in touchdowns for Seattle?
Fumbles on the returns?
conneyboy -
It was a joke in regards to the debacle at Seattle last season. Humor. -
cooney boy, the answer is replacement refs.
Maybe they're testing out some replacement refs in the preseason.
Seattle last year was unstoppable at home. They beat the Cowboys, Patriots, Vikings and 49ers. I would say they had a perfect record, but in my mind the Packers won that game last year. They were the only team to beat Seahawks at home.
Seattle plays tough. Their running backs hit people hard. Their defense puts stinging hits on players. I'm not sure they're real talented, but they play the game the right way. I am somewhat mystified that it has taken Datone so long to get back on the field. For him to contribute this early season he has to get on field. I . excited to see this young guy play.
PEDs, amphetamines, late hits, grabbing receivers.
They certainly do play the game the right way, don't they? -
Datone ankle took a major hit when the guy tripped him. We know he has it so I say rest it until it is 100%.
Some teams actually do a little game planning in game 3 to get ready for the season as game 4 is just to see who the final cuts will be. Others just go, dare I say it, vanilla. Either way the game will be interesting but history shows it may not actually be an indicator of much of anything.
in a nutshell.
pb. Don't know if you watched the Denver-Seattle game or not. Despite the score, the Bronco's #1's moved the ball with ease against the Seattle defense; they just self-destructed.
Exactly kc.
i did watch it, kc.
i saw 2 things on denver against seattle- talent and sloppiness.
the first will overtake the second when the season starts. it's a well coached team.
however, the defense may have taken far more hits than they can overcome.
that may be the key to leaving the door open for the chiefs.
This will be a good test for our o-line to see how we handle a good defense..I HATE PETE CARROLL espeically after the BS game last year....We need to run the ball that will take pressure off of Rodgers so he can show us what we have in store this year....We cannot have Hawk covering anyone like last game, he cannot catch a cold, he may run the defense but he is a huge liability in the pass coverages...our defense needs to show us that we can put pressure with four lineman...thats how teams like the Giants and SF beat us was because if you can get pressure with 4 you can cover with 7 and there is no holes to throw...if you cant we will be watching their QB's study the field all day and complete tons of throws...time to get it together boys GO PACK!!
I am a life long nfl and Seahawks fan.
The comments about this pre-season game demonstrate clearly that Packer fans are perhaps the most football savvy in the nfl. I wish hawks fans could be as measured and insightful when they comment on pages like this. Thank you.
Here's wishing you the best of luck in the coming season.-
Same to you. Russell Wilson will get a nice welcome home; Wisconsin fans appreciate what he did at UW.
Be lucky Dokken your fellow Sea Hawk fans are not like the Bears fans. They boo their own team from time to time.
Thanks. Just want to say that Nitschke was and always will be one of my favorites.
seattle has a good thing going, dokken.
if they weren't so damn good it would be easier for us packers fans to appreciate the roots green bay/wisconsin has in seattle.
enjoy your season.
It should be a good preseason test for the Packers.
I just can't stand Pete Carroll. Instead of saying that a call went there way at the end of the game last year, he said that he watched it over and over and he still thinks Tate caught the ball. He might be a good coach but he sounds more and more foolish when he continues to lie to support his team. No coach agrees with every decision by a ref just be honest about it.-
Yeah, that rubbed me the wrong way to. Instead of being humble about it, he kept saying "good call, good call" when the whole world watching knew it wasn't a good call. Made him look bad.
Exactly my sentiments. The high road would be that's the breaks of the game some go your way some don't. But to insist it was a catch and no pass interference defies logic. He is an................ like Swartz.

History in Flight
Rare warbirds star in a California airshow.

Frank Mormillo/ Planes of Fame Air Museum
P.J. Dahl and his P-38 were part of the 475th Fighter Group, sometimes called a "supergroup" because of the number of Japanese aircraft the group is credited with shooting down. The highest scoring U.S. ace in World War II, Richard Bong, flew with the 475th. In 2005, the 475th Fighter Group Association donated its memorabilia to the Planes of Fame Air Museum, which acquired a hangar for the collection, highlighted by the museum's Lockheed P-38J.

Your show looks amazing and a friend and I would like to drive over from Phoenix next year to see it. Unfortunately we did not discover it until today or we would have come this time around. Would it be possible for you to email me when you know the dates of the 2011 show. EDITORS' REPLY: You need to contact the organizers of the show for that information.
Posted by Laura Taylor on May 15,2010 | 11:58 PM
The Planes of Fame airshow is usually the third weekend of May. This years show was outstanding as usual. The museum is worth visiting any time of the year if you are a fan of WWII era planes. They also have other interesting displays of pre-WWII and post-WWII aircraft, and holds special events the first Saturday of each month.

This is one technique of my own invention. Go back to the first part of this section about being able to believe when you had a middleman that you trusted. Well sometimes you can make yourself the middle man too. Think things like "if I do this in this particular way it will work", like again with the dice rolling for micro-tk (can you guess how I practice yet?), get yourself to think it will work if you roll the dice a certain way, or hit the dice in the air, or some other clever little action. If it works when you do that you got yourself baited and you can run off that for a little. Now unfortunately if you keep doing this you're not solving anything and it will almost certainly fail given enough time. The way to use this as an actual fix is to look at it after a time and notice that you could do it.
You should work on this method for at least 1 day before proceeding.

Today, our star of honor is the lady with one of the best websites we've seen in a while! Its: Camryn Rhys. It's so nice to have you here and shining! I'm sure you're ready to share with us your success and many fun endeavors. So, let's get on with the party!
Camryn Rhys grew up on the border of Canada and the US, and still hasn't decided which country to call home. She splits her time between the Alberta and Montana Rocky Mountains, with friends and family in both beautiful locations. After running her own restaurant for several years and acquiring advanced degrees in writing, foodie romance seemed the only logical option. When she's not watching the Food Network, she's reading a romance novel, or if absolutely necessary, working as a consultant. Someone has to put really excellent food on the table.
Let's get to know you a little better. Why don't you step over here under the spotlight and shine a little.
First questions: (I'll go easy on you.)
What made you decide to become a writer? I've been telling stories my whole life. Some of them, I pretended were true, and some I knew were lies. But the story was the thing. I love stories.
What inspires you? Where do you get your ideas? I think everything inspires me. I've gotten ideas from someone speaking another language, and from recipes, and from knowing certain people. It just depends on the moment and what will spark my mind to think… hmmm, I wonder…
Do you beat your muse? I mean…Wait! Do you have a muse? Does he/she have a name? I do have a muse. His name is Ian and he wears a kilt. Nothing but a kilt. As far as whether or not I beat him, I may have to plead the 5th.
Let's talk about your writing process. Are you a plotter or pantser? Are there any weird things that you do before you start to sit down to write? (Like stretch those fingers…? Scream at the computer…?) I used to be a pantser, and I can't even say I really had a "process." But I took this fantastic class about the "W" plot and now I am a faithful plotter. It's not as fast a process as it used to be, but I think my books are a ton better because of it.
What is your call story? Actually, it depends. I have a novella call story and a novel call story. My novella call story begins with an editor approaching me… why I always encourage people to write wherever they can write. If you have a compelling voice, you can't hide it.
Have you always envisioned yourself a writer? What were you doing before you started writing? Has your earlier career influence your current one? I definitely always assumed I'd be a writer someday. I based my whole expectation of the future upon it. I would love to think that I would be able to make a living as a writer. Then I would leave the mundane world behind. LOL!
Where do you see yourself 5 years from now with your writing career? Still writing books I love to read, I hope. Maybe even getting paid for it. J
What is the hardest thing you've had to overcome in your writing career so far? Definitely my time constraints. I have a very demanding day job and I spend most of my spare time writing or promoting. It's a lot of work. If I had more time, I would definitely utilize it.
Now let's talk more about you. If you could pick to live the life of a movie star, who would it be and why? Does this person show up in your stories? Hmmmm… I wouldn't like the life of a movie star. I value my privacy way too much.
Through research, what is the most silly thing you've ever done? Wow, I've done a lot of weird stuff. Let's just say that because I write romance, research is lots of fun, and I'm always interested in making a fool of myself… haha!
What genres do you read? Do you read what you write? Honestly, I don't read as much as I used to. But when I do get a chance to read, I've been moving through fantasy books at a pretty good clip. Really fun. My head is full of fairies.
What's the last book you've read for fun? Did you read it on an e-Reader or are you still a paperback-kind-of-person? Spell of the Highlander by Karen Marie Moning. Actually, I listened to it on my iPhone. Loved it!
What did you wish you had known back then when you began writing? That your career can take off fast, so be ready to commit to a genre and make your writing happen!
Is there anything else you'd want your readers and friends to know about you? Umm… I'm really boring. My website is lots of fun, though! There's tons of stuff about my characters and little hidden eggs all over the place!
And lastly, where can we find you?

Down East 2013 ©
Cartoon by David Jacobson
Retiree Ellis McKeen guides Mainers to their forgotten assets.
The Carrie Ricker Middle School in Litchfield has an additional sixty-six dollars to spend on math problem-of-the-week prizes this year, thanks to a West Gardiner retiree whose hobby is reuniting people with money they didn't even know they had. Ellis McKeen spends several hours a week perusing the Maine abandoned properties list and tracking down the items' owners. "I don't take any money or donations or anything," McKeen, 70, says. "I don't need the money. But times are tough and this is a way I can help people without using my own wallet. I call myself the all-season Santa because I do it year-round."
While a few people suspect a scam, most people are surprised and delighted when they hear from McKeen, who finds them through the phone directory, Facebook, and Internet searches. "What a nice gentleman," says Carrie Ricker Principal Christine Lajoie-Cameron. The school's property turned out to be a check from Hannaford supermarket, which she suspects were proceeds from a soup label redemption program. "We'll take every penny we can get!"
Readers of Maine's daily newspapers have likely seen the unclaimed propertylist, if not understood exactly what it is. Typically running several pages, the names of owners of abandoned properties are published by the Maine State Treasurer's Office once a year. The properties include cash from inactive savings or checking accounts, paid-up life insurance policies, unpaid wages, uncashed checks, death benefits, and the contents of safety-depositboxes — money or other personal assets,in other words, that for one reason or another could not be returned to its owners.
That annual list represents just a fraction of the property the state is holding. "It's strictly a list of what the state received during the past year, and it's only the properties that are worth $250 or more," says Kristi Carlow, director of operations at the treasurer's office. The online database that Ellis McKeen scrolls, however, contains everything: some eight hundred thousand properties valued at $159 million. The state holds each claim in perpetuity until the owner or his heirs find it, and while the value is often just a few dollars, sometimes a nice chunk of change is involved.
"Last year we received about $18.7 million in items, and we paid out 16,600 claims, or about $11.8 million," Carlow says. "Our average claim was $713, and our largest was $357,000."
Dollar for dollar, Maine pays out 63 percent of what it takes in each year, which is the best dispersal rate in the nation. Those annual newspaper lists help, as do geographically targeted lists presented to each of the state's 186 legislators, and the online database, which contains virtually every unclaimed property. (You can find it at www.maine.gov/treasurer [2]) Ellis McKeen surely deserves credit for some of those percentage points as well. "Sometimes people ask me, 'What do you get out of it?' " the disabled veteran says. "I just enjoy doing it. It's a lot of fun, and I get to talk to a lot of people."
Winslow Homer, Fashion Plate
J. Crew's spring men's line takes its cue from the painter at Prouts Neck.
Ah, Maine, the way life should be, where a man in a suit is the odd man out and "casual Friday" has no context. We are not a fashionable state, and truth be told, a great many of us would consider that a point of pride. That's why we were tickled to learn that Maine — or more specifically, Maine as rendered by Winslow Homer — was the inspiration behind J.Crew's spring men's clothing line.
In a video promoting the new line, handsome young men in slightly rumpled seersucker jackets and rolled-up jeans line up on a stage while J.Crew's lead men's designer, Frank Muytjens, speaks about the watercolors painted by Winslow Homer in his studio on Prouts Neck in Scarborough. "The studio is still there, it's been there forever," Muytjens says. "It's overlooking the bluffs, and you can see the ocean. You can see all the different hues and colors of the ocean, and we were inspired by that." Featured prominently in the video is the catalog for Winslow Homer and the "Poetics of Place," last summer's acclaimed exhibition at Portland Museum of Art.
That catalog, written by museum chief curator Thomas Denenberg and designed by Daniel Pepice, is what drew Muytjens and his team to Maine in the first place. Pepice, it turns out, became acquainted with Muytjens when Pepice worked at Rogues Gallery, the Portland-based menswear company. "When the book was printed, I wanted friends to see what I thought was a good project and was different from what I had been doing," says Pepice, who designed Rogues Gallery's T-shirt graphics, hang tags, lookbooks, and "anything else that was printed or two dimensional" for six years. Pepice made sure Muytjens received a copy of the catalogue. "J.Crew being a fundamentally American brand, I knew Frank would have an interest in the vernacular of Winslow Homer," he says.
Not long after, one of J.Crew's Manhattan stores started selling the book, which Denenberg says was deliberately designed to mirror Homer's enduringinfluence: The linen-covered hardback cover is traditional; the fonts are from the nineteenth century, when Homer painted; and the page numbers and catalog plates are executed in a modernist 1950s style. "We set out to raise a question with that catalog: Is this a book from today, yesterday, or last year?" Denenberg says.
Denenberg sees that same timelessness in the J. Crew clothing line. "Homer is the nineteenth-century painter who became a modernist by focusing on nature at Prouts Neck," he says. "He is the painter who chose to make Maine his home and to create this mythology of place. That gets played out in that J. Crew line. Clearly they were looking for old New England — that slightly burnished genteel look, the khakis that have been washed one hundred times, the old Docksiders, the Wayfarers, all the myths of summer on the coast that have persisted for the last fifty years or so."
Mischievous Minks
Two Brownville bait dealers have their hands full with a family of wily weasels.
Never let it be said that all Maine woodsmen are rough, hard-hearted folk. Just look at Don and John Belvin, two brothers who own the Junction Store way up in Brownville. This winter the men arrived in their shop one morning to discover that most of the shiners and smelts they were keeping alive in a fifty-gallon drum as bait for ice fishermen were dead. They tossed the dead fish in the trash, but when they went outside a half-hour later, they found the bait stacked like tiny, slippery cordwood just outside the back door. Was it the work of North Woods gnomes?
The mystery was solved the next morning, when John Belvin came into the store and found a young mink sitting in the bait tank. Already halfway through his breakfast, the mink had stacked his latest kill on a water filter, just as he'd done with the discarded baitfish. "No doubt about it, we caught him red-handed," says Don Belvin. His brother was able to grab the critter with a heavily gloved hand, but rather than dispatch him in a, ahem, quite final manner, John Belvin put him in a cage and brought him down to a stream about a mile away.
"Just to be sure we recognized him if he came back, we thought we should spray-paint his tail a little bit," Don explains, adding that a reporter from the Bangor Daily News even caught wind of the story and ran a photo of the wily weasel.
But the tale didn't end there. Within three more weeks, the brothers had nabbed seven more minks, each craftier than their predecessor in finding a way into the shop's cold storage room and eventually into the tank itself. The one-mile trip to the river became two miles, then three, as the Belvins tried to make the journey more of a deterrent for the persistent mink family. So far the brothers estimate they've lost about five hundred dollars in baitfish, but they refuse to resort to more drastic measures. "We're strictly catch-and-release up here," Don Belvin says. "They're just too cute. When they're in the cage, I don't have the heart to kill them."
He says the minks' free meal will come to an end this month, as the end of ice fishing season will mean the end of the bait bucket. In the meantime, the brothers are keeping their eyes out for a particularly colorful — and incorrigibly persistent — family of minks.
No 'Almost' About It
John Cariani's play about a small town in Maine is a full-fledged success.
If yours is one of the many regional theaters preparing to stage Almost, Maine, a quirky romantic comedy set on a frigid night in this state's remote north, you might want to pass along this word of advice from the playwright, John Cariani: "Sometimes the actors make the characters talk like Down East fishermen, and then it's a disaster."
A front page article in the New York Times about the robust post-Off Broadway life of Almost, Maine prompted us to get in touch with Cariani, who grew up in the small Aroostook County city of Presque Isle and has worked as a playwright and actor in New York since 1995 (if you're a Law & Order fan, you've probably seen him: He played forensic expert Julian Beck from 2002 to 2007). Cariani is delighted with the Times' flattering coverage, although he does take issue with the article's characterization of his play's Off-Broadway run as "a flop" "It ran for two months — sixty-seven performances," he points out.
Craig Pospisil of the Dramatists Play Service, which has the North American rights to Almost, Maine, agrees that the word "flop" is an exaggeration of what he considers a so-so run. Nevertheless, he says, the contrast between its New York City stint and its success elsewhere makes Almost, Maine unique. Since the play closed Off-Broadway, more than six hundred American and Canadian companies have staged it, making it one of the most produced shows in North America. Audiences in Australia, Dubai, and South Korea have watched its nineteen characters, shivering in hats and scarves, navigate romance under the magical spell of the northern lights. And in 2010, Almost, Maine took the number one slot on the International Thespian Society's list of top ten most-produced plays in North American high schools, beating out standards like A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Crucible.
"It is warm and sweet, and it's very funny as well," Pospisil says of the play's appeal. "It also can be done very simply." Composed of eight vignettes, he explains, the play can have a cast as small as four or as large as nineteen, making it equally suitable for small professional theaters and high school drama clubs.
Cariani's small-town stories also resonate, observes Anita Stewart, executive and artistic director of Portland Stage Company. The company premiered Almost, Maine and Last Gas, and it will stage his new work, Love/Sick, this spring. "There's a huge percentage of folks who live in cities but grew up in suburbs or small towns," she says. "His plays tap into a yearning for a familiar place and time."
And even though Almost, Maine dips into the fantastical, its smart, inherently decent characters ring true. "John writes real dialogue," Stewart says. "He writes the way people speak. It feels like real people in real situations."
Which brings us back to Cariani's point about avoiding stereotypes. "One thing I've learned is that people are really ignorant about Maine," he says. "They think Maine is all lobstermen and people saying, 'Ayuh.' One of the things I try to do is honor northern Maine and the people who live there. When done well, Almost, Maine is a love letter to the people of Maine."
"Goldfinches in Early Spring"
I didn't see them
until I opened the door
and the whole flock rose up from the ground,
their newly brilliant plumage
like fresh paint,
day-glow yellow,
as if all the yellow in the world —
butter cups and corn kernels
daffodils, crocus pollen
carried on the legs of bumblebees,
handfuls of dandelions,
and in every child's first painting
the round sun
occupying the upper corner —
as if all the yellow,
all the thought of yellow
were condensed in the bodies of these birds,
flying up into the dark branches
barely dotted with green,
little flames kindling in the branches
warming us again,
the way the light always does return,
all the sparks igniting one at a time all at once
the yellow leaves
miraculously returning to the trees,
reversing all together
the direction of fall.

Chris Kennison writes the Critics Corner.
Review by Chris Kennison
Much of the success behind movies and their release dates is attributed to timing, and in that regard, "The Campaign" will be a smash hit. Smack dab in the middle of a huge political season and a vote to determine the future of our country right around the corner, "The Campaign" takes politics and humiliates it. Though as much as the joke is about politics, the joke may be on the people or the voters even more. Most of the gimmicks in the movie ring true, although taken to the extreme. Much of it shows how the way we vote, is not beyond ridicule. Will Ferrell plays Cam Brady, an incumbent congressmen who is running unopposed and is backed by big money. Despite scandals galore, he continues to be voted in, and this time he is running unopposed. That is until a big money corporation decides to create a candidate that will do their bidding. That is where Marty Huggins comes in. He is a weird guy. The only thing that makes him feasible is a father with a political background. They reshape his life and mold him to their liking. He can be manipulated and Brady and his scandals are ripe for the takedown. "The Campaign" is reality taken to the extreme. As much as the gimmicks in the film are over-the-top, ridiculous at times and sophomoric, they are all realities. Watching the movie is refreshing to laugh at the things that we complain about on a daily basis but also like wearing egg on your face because we buy into the political gimmicks. The political environment has become a schoolyard slap fight and "The Campaign" takes that fight to the extreme. The canned speeches, the blame game, the bought and sold candidates, the background politics, the poll numbers going up and down based on scandals and sound bites, and the lack of honesty are all fair game. For me, the movie hit home as a testament to the deteriorated nature of politics. Don't get me wrong, this is an exaggerated comedy and it is raunchy and revealing at times and I found myself laughing throughout. Yet, as much as it is a really good comedy, it is also a social commentary on how ridiculous we've allowed elections to become and how far we have to go to retrieve some sort of honesty and dignity in politics. Cause "The Campaign" is just a movie.

In 1847, Serafina married Giorgio Florio, the apothecary's oldest son, who, like Serafina, was a member of the merchant class. After marriage, Serafina remained a midwife, refining her skills, delivering healthy babies. In 1866—a horrific year in Sicily's history—three prostitutes were knifed to death, their foreheads gouged with … [Read More...]

The Civs: Europeans
Spain -- Easy
Gunpowder, Monotheism, Magnetism, Monarchy; Militaristic, Religious, Expansionist
The Spanish start out with plenty of Conquistadors (their unique unit) and Settlers jumping at the chance to make their fortune in the New World (4 Conquistadors, 3 Musketmen, 5 Settlers, 2 Light Cannon). They also start with a Caravel. Spains real strength is conquest, and one great strategy is to go after the Aztecs before they can build up plenty of very mobile defenders.
England -- Easy
Gunpowder, Monotheism, Magnetism, Monarchy; Industrious, Commercial, Expansionist
England is ready to Colonize rather than conquer, but they have a competent military and growing sea power (4 Settlers, 3 Musketmen, 2 Trappers, 2 Light Cannon). They start with a Caravel. The British unique unit, the Man-O-War, allows you to rule the seas but does not seem to be of much use against enemies lurking in the forests.
Portugal Moderate
Gunpowder, Monotheism, Magnetism, Monarchy; Religious, Commercial, Expansionist
The Portuguese originally concentrated on finding a route around Africa but were granted Brazil as well by the Pope. They have a good navy but are not as zealous as the Spanish. (2 Light Cannon, 3 Musketmen, 3 Settlers). They start with a Caravel and a Carrack.
France -- Moderate
Gunpowder, Monotheism, Magnetism, Monarchy; Scientific, Industrious, Expansionist
France is also set for colonization but is focused on the fur trade as well (3 Musketeers, 3 Settlers, 2 Trappers, 2 Light Cannon). They start with a Caravel. The unique Musketeers werent historically active in New France, but Trappers were not useful enough as a replacement. So Trappers can be built by all northern Civs and the Musketeers remain.
Netherlands -- Difficult
Gunpowder, Monotheism, Magnetism, The Republic; Scientific, Expansionist, Commercial
The Netherlands look to make a tidy profit through colonization and trade, but dont have the population or military resources of other countries (2 Settlers, 2 Musketmen, 2 Light Cannon). They start with one Caravel but may soon build their unique sea unit, the Merchantman.
The Civs: Native Americans
Aztec -- Easy
Bronze Working, Ceremonial Burial, Masonry, Mathematics; Religious, Militaristic
The Aztecs occupy Central Mexico and have the most advanced Native civilization. Their large cities, road system and unique Jaguar Warriors also contribute to their success. The Aztecs also usually benefit from being left alone early by European AIs. Their large cities allow them to get a jump on building Ancient wonders, and they are associated with Chichen Itza, Colossal Olmec Heads, Temple of the Sun, and The Calendar.
Inca -- Easy
Ceremonial Burial, Warrior Code, Masonry; Expansionist, Commerical
The Inca built the largest empire in the history of the Americas before the arrival of the Spanish. Their great public works, including an extensive road system, were key to their organization. Their unique unit, the Mit'a were subjects pressed into mandatory service, either as workers or warriors.
Apache -- Moderate
Warrior Code, Pottery, Ceremonial Burial; Militaristic, Commercial
The Apache represent the Tribes of the American southwest. They were also some of the last to oppose the Europeans in battle. They can build both Mounted Warriors and Expert Riders, and are associated with the Ghost Dance Wonder
Nez Pierce -- Moderate
Ceremonial Burial, Pottery, Horseback Riding; Industrious, Religious
The Nez Pierce represent the native tribes of the Pacific Northwest and Columbia River basin. They took to horseback riding readily, and some traditions hold that they possessed horses since crossing over the Bering straight 10,000+ years ago. They start with Canoes and can build Mounted Warriors and Expert Riders.
Sioux -- Moderate
Ceremonial Burial, Warrior Code, Pottery; Militaristic, Expansionist
The Sioux represent the Great Plains tribes. They quickly adapted to horseback riding and held off against European/U.S. aggression very effectively. They can build both Mounted Warriors and more powerful Expert Riders.
Cree -- Moderate
Currency, Pottery, Ceremonial Burial; Industrious, Commercial
The Cree ranged from the Great Lakes to the Rocky Mountains and from the Great Plains through much of Canada. They were good traders and are one of the largest native populations today. They can build Mounted Warriors and Trappers and have Canoes.
Iroquois Moderate
Pottery, Ceremonial Burial, Code of Laws; Expansionist, Religious
The Iroquois were a confederation of tribes whose laws influenced the U.S. Constitution. They took sides in the fight between the European powers and later the U.S. They can build Mounted Warriors and Trappers. They are also associated with eh Great Serpent Mound Wonder.
Cherokee -- Moderate
Warrior Code, Pottery, Currency; Industrious, Scientific
The Cherokee represent the tribes the inhabited the Appalachian Mountains and the Southeast. They attempted to adopt European-style farming and culture but were still pushed off their territory, forced to walk the Trail of Tears. Likewise, their success in the game hinges on how long they can expand and advance with out facing a technologically superior enemy. They can build Mounted Warriors.
Tupi -- Difficult
Warrior Code; Industrious, Religious
The Tupi occupied the South American rainforests and coasts. They were well known for their amazing Bowman, who serve as their unique unit.
Arawak -- Difficult
Pottery, Currency; Religious, Commercial
The Arawaks inhabit the Caribbean islands and may have been the first natives The Europeans made contact with. They would rather trade than fight, and start off with Canoes. Their main disadvantage is widely spread, sparsely populated island territory. If the Spanish arrive on one island, dont expect to get your reinforcements quickly from cities on three others.
Micmac -- Difficult
Pottery, Currency; Commercial, Scientific
The Micmac occupied eastern Canada and were great trading partners with the French. They adopted many European ideas and many married Europeans. Their real disadvantages are low populations growth and early contact with Europe. They start with Canoes.
Game Changes:
* The tech tree has been greatly altered to allow European civs a big advantage. The Middle Ages correspond with the sorts of advances that allowed European colonization of North America. Thus, astronomy, invention, chivalry and gunpowder were moved back to Ancient Times, where gunpowder becomes the necessary advance to reach the next age; monotheism, engineering, magnetism, and monarchy now begin the Middle Ages. Also, fuedalism has been replaced with a new advance, mercantilism, which is now necessary to develop banking. Magnetism and Navigation have been rearranged to fix the perplexing original arrangement.
* Roads only allow 2 moves instead of 3, reflecting trails and poor dirt roads.
* Roads have already been set up along major rivers, allowing rivers to connect cities for trade.
* An attempt has been made to simulate the spread of disease among Native Civs by placing their starting cities on Flood Plains.
New Win Condition:
The Spaceship parts have been replaced by Founding Fathers, and there are 10 Founding Fathers you must attract (well, build) in order to Launch a revolution. The Spaceship screen has been replaced by the Continetnal Congress, but I'm still working on replacing other aspects, so don't be surprised by some weirdness.

So many times one reads about battles or campaigns that were impacted by terrible weather. Some that come to mind right off hand include Lee's withdrawal from Gettysburg mired in mud caused by torrential rains on the July Fourth, 1863 and thereafter. Another example is the seventeen days of nearly constant rain faced by Sherman's and Johnston's armies as they struggled toward Atlanta in 1864. Probably should mention, too, Burnside's infamous "Mud March" in December 1862. There are numerous other examples. What I wonder is, in these days of severe droughts throughout the South East, it is so hard to imagine so many battles, retreats and advances influenced by driving, torrential rain during the periods of 1861 to 1865. Has any study been done on Civil War weather? Was it an unusually rainy time? Were some of the heaviest and longest rains tail ends of tropical storms or hurricanes in the gUlf or Atllantic? I'd be very interested in a book that analyses Civil War weather and how it impacted battle outcomes. Does anybody know of one? Even if you don't know of such a book, I'd love to hear of other examples you know of where rain-swollen rivers, mud-clogged roads or blinding rain slowed or changed the outcome of a battle or campaign, even a raid or skirmish. |

Fan: Another extreme example would be Hood's attempted investment of Nashville in December, 1864. From what I understand it was unusually cold and then it rained ice. For those of us accustomed to just going back into the house and kicking up the thermostat, it is a bit difficult to imagine that all of these guys lived outside all the time. (With the exception of some officers who could avail themselves of civilian "hospitality.") Your question might help explain the reenactor who insists on feeling the pain. That is, if you haven't slept on the ground, on a rubber sheet, with one blanket, during a freezing rain, you haven't sampled the experience of the CW soldier. ole Last edited on Tue Feb 12th, 2008 04:12 pm by ole |

I know they were experienceing drought conditions in Mississippi during the Siege of Vicksburg and the rivers were very low that year. Getting fresh water was a problem that year and contributed to the suffering during the siege. I think it started in the fall of 62 which was unseasonably hot. Think about the Battle of Corinth and Perryville and its aftermarth that were fought in high heat in October. Remember Perryville was fought for the water in Doctor's Creek which was the only source of water for miles around. Last edited on Tue Feb 12th, 2008 04:38 pm by David White |

Ole mentioned Nashville, but let's not forget that but for a rain-swollen river (the Harpeth), and the washing away of bridges because of it, the whole tragedy of Franklin would never have happened. |

Thanks to all of you. I know about the rain-soaked Shiloh misery and the ice storm at Nashville that sealed Hood's fate after Franklin. I can appreciate that because we had an ice storm nearly every winter I lived in Nashville. Whenever I read about Franklin and Nashville, I try to imagine being barefoot, poorly clothed, having eaten only a moldy, stale biscuit and then marching and fighting in frightful frigid winds and ice. How on Earth did they do it? If I were lots younger I'd research weather and the Civil War. I'd particularly like to know if there were any weather abnormalities such as La Nina or El Nino events. Hey! I have a timely question. Does anybody recall a battle, campaign, skirmish or raid that was impacted by a tornado? I don't recall having ever read about such a situation, but the armies did fight at times of the year when tornados would typically hit. YIKES! Coincidentally, I just looked at the TV. We in Palm Beach County are right now under a tornado watch! I hope we have better luck than Javal had last week. |

It looks like the kind of book I want even though it is specific to one theater of operations. Thanks, Pvt Clewell. Maybe I should start a collection of such books and compile my own collection of Civil War events impacted by severe weather be it drought, heat, ice, rain, floods or whatever. I'm interested also in one theory I read somewhere that all the smoke of large battles such as Gettysburg and the monstrous artuillery barrage just before Picket's Charge actually CAUSED the rain. That needs lots of research. It might require a meteorologist to study or explain why or why not that is true. |

Susan, thanks. I am not too worried. Tornados sued to be very rare down here, but they have reared their ugly heads a few times in the last few years. I'm more worried about my sister in Sebring. Hubby would tell you I am too mean to have a tornado hit. (But I haven't been mean enough to keep hurricanes away.) |

I've heard really good things about the Krick book, but haven't personally read it. I also remember reading (but not, unfortunately, the source) that the winters of 1863 and particularly 1864 were exceptionally cold and brutal. |

lets just sum it up .... weather conditions during the civil war sucked big time. it was either to rainy, to dry, to muddy, to cold, to hot, to swampy, you name it and it sucked. on the occasion that it might be just right the soldiers were either in battle, or marching, or foraging. they probably never had time to just sit and enjoy it. ____________________ War Means Fighting And Fighting Means Killing - N.

You have that pretty much right, Dixie Girl, but on the matter of "enjoying" if that word would be fitting...I have read accounts especially by generals who had it better than lowly foot soldiers did, about the evenings when encamped. Sherman wrote about how he enjoyed the smell of the campfires, for example. Others wrote about soldiers singing and the bands would play. Some soldiers or junior officers would serenade their commanders. Soldiers would play cards or other games (if their religion allowed it.) It does seem that in the midst of so much carnage, horror, dread together with longing for home and family, the men were able to find moments of peace and tranquility if ever so brief. |

Public consulted on parking in Winchester
4:08pm Wednesday 25th September 2013 in News
WINCHESTER civic chiefs are consulting the public on a potentially radical overhaul of parking.
Residents, organisations and businesses are being asked for their views on a new parking strategy for the district.
A six-week consultation is being launched by the City Council this week.
For 20 years civic policy has been to limit cars in the city centre.
That policy looks to be under threat with an idea to double the size of the River Park car park to 300 cars as part of the suggested rebuilding of the leisure centre.
Steve Tilbury, corporate director, said the council was looking at where car parks were sited and where they were needed.
The future of the Cattle Market and Gladstone Street car parks are being reviewed as part of a revamp of the railway station area.
Mr Tilbury told the Chronicle earlier this month: "We want parking that serves the appropriate use in the right places. The cattle market is not much used by shoppers, but quite well be people who work at Denplan.
"We feel it is not punching its weight. You come down Andover Road, there's an opportunity there."
The council wants to hear a wide range of opinions before reaching its decision on a strategy at the end of the year.
The document will be important in helping the council determine off-street parking, charges and how much it manages and potentially expands park and ride.
The council has conducted detailed car parking occupancy and user surveys. It has set out a range of guiding principles for comment including effective traffic and parking management, maintaining economic vitality and improving air quality.
Cllr Jan Warwick, portfolio holder for neighbourhoods and environment, said: "Car parking is important to many of us and often a topic of great debate. I look forward to hearing a wide range of views.
"This consultation is specifically about off-street car parking provision and management for which Winchester City Council has responsibility. It is set in the context of the Hampshire Local Transport Plan and the Winchester Town Access Plan which sets the overall transport policy."

Kind of expensive but where would you get all the parts. Should last a lifetime.
It seemed a little pricey but worked as advertised. I removed the neck from a 1965 Gretsch Country Club. I couldn't have done it without the steam needle.
I used this along with my wife's portable steamer to get a fret board off a smashed Les Paul and then to remove the neck from the neck pocket. Took some time, but the neck came off like butter once I got good steam into the joints.
worked like a charm. I built a martin style guitar a few months ago and it sounded great but the neck angle was not right. I knew it had to be fixed but I was scared to death to try and take it apart. I bought a pressure cooker from Wal-mart for 19.95 and the hose connected with no problem

At the Fast Trip on the 47, at mile 29, I had a hamburger, a coke and a bear claw. Fifteen minutes later and I was hungry again. I rode hard the day before trying to keep up with Eyera and Hott and already today they were pulling hard because I think Hott had a wedding to go to or something."

Quick Start Leads Valpo Past IPFW
Sunday, October 10, 2004 Valparaiso scored twice in the first ten minutes of the match as the Crusaders held on to defeat IPFW 2-1 on Sunday afternoon in Fort Wayne, Ind.Phillip Dennis (Las Cruces, N.M./Las Cruces H.S.) beat goalkeeper Peter Hachaj just 1:43 into the match after receiving a feed from D.J. Catrow (Springfield, Ohio/Catholic Central H.S.). Jason Witte then made it 2-0 Valpo at the 9:50 mark, heading home a feed from Dennis into the wide side of the goal. John Allendorf (Hobart, Ind./Hobart H.S.) also earned an assist on the goal. The Mastodons cut the lead in half at the 29:48 mark as Barry Morgan beat Jeff Oleck (Indianapolis, Ind./Cathedral H.S.) into the left corner, but that would be as close at IPFW would get the rest of the way. Oleck made eight stops in goal for the Brown and Gold, lifting Valpo to the victory. Hachaj made four stops for IPFW (6-6). Valpo was outshot 15-12 for the contest, but held a 6-4 advantage winning corner kicks. Valparaiso (3-5-3) will conclude its seven-match road trip on Friday evening when the Crusaders travel to DeKalb, Ill. for a 12 p.m. match against Northern Illinois. |

Lehmann accuses Broad of cheating (From The Bolton News)
National Sport News RSS Feed
Lehmann accuses Broad of cheating
9:21am Wednesday 21st August 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
Australia coach Darren Lehmann has accused England's Stuart Broad of "blatant cheating" and has urged cricket fans Down Under to make sure the bowler "cries and goes home" during this winter's return Ashes series.
Broad has earned the wrath of Australia's players and fans this summer following a number of incidents during the current Test series, which England lead 3-0 heading into the final match.
The 27-year-old did not walk when he nicked a ball behind in the first Test, while he has also been accused of time-wasting tactics to benefit England when they have been up against it.
The Nottinghamshire man admitted this week that he knew he had hit the ball at Trent Bridge, while speaking of England's win-at-all-costs mentality.
That approach has not impressed Lehmann, though, who has encouraged the Australian fans to make sure that they let Broad know what they think of him when the next series starts on November 21 in Brisbane.
"Certainly our players haven't forgotten, they're calling him everything under the sun as they go past," Lehmann said of Broad's failure to walk in an interview given to Australia radio station Triple M.
"I hope the Australian public are the same because that was just blatant cheating. I don't advocate walking but when you hit it to first slip it's pretty hard.
"From my point of view I just hope the Australian public give it to him right from the word go for the whole summer and I hope he cries and he goes home.
"I just hope everyone gets stuck into him because the way he's carried on and the way he's commented in public about it is ridiculous."
Broad has angered Australian fans further by helping England to their third successive Ashes win, with his brilliant bowling in the last Test securing victory on a dramatic fourth afternoon in Durham.
His popularity with home fans is higher than ever as a result, but Lehmann has no interest in indulging him and went on to accuse him of letting the umpires - much-maligned during the series - take the blame on his behalf.
"He hit it to first slip ... and the biggest problem there is the poor umpire cops all the crap that he gets in (the) paper and Stuart Broad makes them look like fools," he added.
"From my point of view it's poor, so I hope the public actually get stuck into him."
Speaking earlier this week Broad referred back to the Trent Bridge incident, admitting he knew he had nicked Ashton Agar's delivery but Broad claimed his failure to walk was not as clear-cut as it had been portrayed.
''It was an odd one. There was no particular noise because of the noise of Haddin's gloves,'' he said.
''It's a bit silly when people say it was nicked to slip because actually it was edged to the keeper's gloves and flew off the gloves to slip.
''I went down to the other end and Ian Bell was like 'what happened there, I didn't hear anything?' Agar came up to me and asked if I'd nicked it because he wasn't sure.
''So it wasn't as clear cut as everyone had thought, although I knew I'd hit it."
The England and Wales Cricket Board declined to comment when asked about the comments from Lehmann.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes Lehmann's comments could create problems for Broad Down Under, not only on the field but off it too.
The 45-year-old pointed to the fracas earlier in the summer when David Warner was suspended from the Australia team for aiming a punch at Broad's England team-mate Joe Root at a Birmingham bar.
While Hussain is confident the players will be on their best behaviour, he believes the management of Broad off the field will be key.
"These boys go out on an evening, they don't sit in their hotel room," Hussain said.
"That's more likely where Broad will have to be careful because after these words, there might be some Aussie out there that, after having a few beers on an evening, wants to have a little go at Broad.
"Broad, especially after the Warner incident at a bar in Birmingham, and the management of Broad away from the cricket will have to be very, very careful.
"But these are grown men, they can look after themselves and know how to behave like England cricketers, hopefully."

The Sessions
Directed by Ben Lewin. US. 2012. R. 95 min. Fox Searchlight. 35mm.
Fri, Dec 7 thru Thu, Dec 13 -- Roll over to view showtimes.
"John Hawkes' polio-stricken poet in The Sessions imbues his quest to lose his virginity and connect in the most profound spiritual manner imaginable with another human being with such sweetness and light it's as if he's doing God a favor by ridding himself of his unwanted virginity. Hawkes is so charming and innately lovable that even God, as represented in this terrestrial realm by a priest played by a shaggy-haired William H. Macy, gives Hawkes a pass to lose his virginity the old-fashioned way: by paying someone to have sex with him. Only in The Sessions,there's nothing remotely sordid or sinful about sex. More»

This week I learned, mostly because I hadn't really considered it before, that many of the horses travelling to England will do so by Federal Express.
FedEx really can do it all, it seems.
This new knowledge was gleaned during conversations with Jessica Phoenix and Michele Mueller, who found out last Sunday they would be headed to London for the 2012 Olympics as part of Canada's equestrian eventing team.
Phoenix, from Uxbridge, and Mueller, of Port Perry, are interesting stories in their own right, of course, but they both spoke fondly of their horses, Exponential and Amistad, respectively.
Eventing is the most demanding of the Olympic equestrian events, involving three very different disciplines: dressage, cross country and show jumping. As such, it's no ordinary horse that can compete at this level, but rather one with a special combination of stamina and athletic ability.
Amistad is a three-quarter thoroughbred, one-quarter Belgian cross who has developed dramatically since Mueller first mounted him in 2005.
However, in a sport in which injuries are common, Amistad suffered one that lingered for more than a year and threatened the Olympic dream. Thankfully, he answered the bell at a competition in Florida earlier this year and is good to go.
Phoenix knows a thing or too about injuries, too, both to horse and rider.
She had qualified for the Beijing Games four years ago, but had to withdraw when her horse at the time, Exploring, suffered a tendon injury in training a month before.
And just last week in Quebec, Phoenix had a spill with Exponential that saw her break her collarbone -- which will heal in plenty of time -- but fortunately left the horse unscathed.
Given the need to keep these horses healthy, then, travel is certainly a concern, especially when it involves crossing an ocean.
That task is entrusted by many to Tim Dutta, who owns an international horse transport company, and according to an interesting story on www.npr.org, will call on FedEx to ship the 1,110-pound-plus beasts by MD-11 jets from Newark, New Jersey to Stanstead, in England.
On the six-hour flight, the horses will share spacious, custom-built stalls, be accompanied by veterinarians and grooms, and have watered-downed apple juice and Gatorade to help wash down the hay and carrots they'll be served.
Phoenix, for one, is unconcerned about Exponential's means of travel, explaining it's actually safer than being transported by truck and trailer, that he's well accustomed to it by now, and, by leaving July 7, there will be plenty of time to get over the jetlag.
As per FedEx's promise, it seems as though she can indeed relax.

UV Light Curing: Why Use a Radiometer?
A radiometer is an important tool in the light-curing process. Below are a few of the benefits of using a radiometer to monitor your light-curing process.
Benefit 1: Maintain a Reliable Light-Curing Process
UV-curing bulbs, lightguides, and reflectors can deteriorate over time, causing less UV energy to reach the cure surface and result in incomplete cures. As the UV energy decreases, adjustments in the process must be made to maintain product quality. It can be difficult to determine when the UV energy is decreasing. UV wavelengths of light are too short to seen visually with just one's eyes, requiring the use of a radiometer to monitor intensity. Radiometers measure the intensity and/or energy associated with light of specified wavelengths. A radiometer can measure whether a light-curing system is providing intensity above the minimum or "bulb change" intensity. A radiometer is to a light-curing process what a thermometer is to an oven-curing process.
Benefit 2: Provide a Safer Work Environment
A radiometer can also be used to determine if any stray UV light is reaching operators or bystanders. This can help insure a safer, more worker-friendly light-curing process. Dymax's ACCU-CAL™ radiometers can measure the intensity of stray or reflected energy to as little as
1 mW/cm2. It is recommended that workers do not exceed 1 mW/cm2 of UVA exposure.
Benefit 3: Measure Transmission Rates Through Substrates
A radiometer can be used to measure the transmission rates of various wavelengths through substrates that sometimes absorb various frequencies of energy. To assure an effective curing process it is critical to measure the light intensity reaching the cure site below any intervening substrate.

TVA Names Stinson to Head Watts Bar Unit 2 Completion

SPRING CITY, Tenn. — The Tennessee Valley Authority has named Dave Stinson, former recovery manager for TVA's Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit 3, as vice president for the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Unit 2 construction project.
Stinson first came to TVA in 1992, and his work throughout the mid-90s included helping return Browns Ferry Unit 3 to service in 1995.
"Dave Stinson's extensive experience in managing complex projects will help us reach our goal to have Watts Bar Unit 2 online before the end of 2012," said Ashok Bhatnagar, senior vice president of Nuclear Generation Development and Construction. "Completion of this project will help TVA achieve its vision to be a leading provider of cleaner, low-cost energy by 2020."
The five-year, $2.5 billion Watts Bar Unit 2 project began in 2007 and will be the first new reactor to achieve commercial operations in the United States since Watts Bar Unit 1 in 1996. The reactor will add 1,180 megawatts to the TVA power system and will provide about 290 permanent jobs. Some 3,500 contract workers are involved in its construction.
Stinson takes over the position from Marie Gillman, who had managed the Watts Bar 2 project on a temporary basis since Jan. 28. Stinson most recently worked at Shaw AREVA MOX Services, where he served as president and chief operating officer from 2006 to 2010. In that position, he headed design, construction and licensing of the Department of Energy facility being built in South Carolina to convert surplus nuclear weapons material to mixed-oxide, or MOX, fuel for nuclear power plants.
Stinson is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy. He has worked at engineering companies in Huntsville, Ala., in support of TVA and other nuclear power plants. In 1983, he founded Digital Engineering, a nuclear engineering and software development company that supported engineering, construction and startup activities at nuclear power plants, including Watts Bar, Sequoyah, Browns Ferry and Bellefonte.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, a corporation owned by the U.S. government, provides electricity for utility and business customers in most of Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia – an area of 80,000 square miles with a population of 9 million. TVA operates 29 hydroelectric dams, 11 coal-fired power plants, three nuclear plants and 11 natural gas-fired power facilities that can produce about 34,000 megawatts of electricity, delivered over 16,000 miles of high-voltage power lines. TVA also provides flood control, navigation, land management and recreation for the Tennessee River system and works with local utilities and state and local governments to promote economic development across the region. TVA, which makes no profits and receives no taxpayer money, is funded by sales of electricity to its customers. Electricity prices in TVA's service territory are below the national average.
