Thank you very much for all your advices! I lean much stronger towards going to UF now
Where should I go next fall? / PLEASE help me to decide - UF or UM???« on: May 09, 2009, 01:02:52 AM »
I would really appreciate ANY advise and input!!!
I have been admitted to both, Miami offered 5k a year scholarship and Florida $6 first-year grant and residential tuition. I know, it seems like no-brainer at the first sight, UF is higher ranked and less expensive school. But there other factors to consider for me. First, I'd really like to get a job in a big or medium size law firm in Miami-Ft. Lauderdale-Palm Beach area, and I heard that UM places well in those cities, while many UF grads go to Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, etc, but I do not consider moving to those parts of the state. Could the UF location be a disadvantage for securing a good job in Miami since it doesn't provide the same networking opportunities as UM, which is right here, in the city?
And second, I'm not sure how well I will fit in Gainesville, small college town with strong football-oriented culture. I am 27, lived in big cities all my life, and don't like football games.
Once again, and advise is welcome!
Where should I go next fall? / Re: UF 3L - Will Answer Questions« on: January 11, 2009, 06:32:44 PM »
Dear loki13, thank you for the great post!
Just wondering, do you know anything how UF is compared to University of Miami? I live in Miami and already got admitted to UM, now waiting on the decision from UF. I've heard that UF is a better academically-wise, but UM has better connections for job placement in Miami. Can you give any comments on that?
Law School Applications / Resume question, someone PLEASE!!!« on: November 28, 2008, 10:15:56 PM »
I have really hard time choosing what needs to be and what not on my resume, and how the whole thing should look like. And no matter how I change it, I still don't like the result.
Could anyone please take a look at my resume and give me some feedback?
I would REALLY appreciate ANY help, pretty please!
Studying for the LSAT / Re: ESL LSAT test taker/ begging for help/advice on reading materials« on: November 15, 2008, 03:03:06 PM »
I am 100% agree with idapie18. I am also ESL student, in fact I've started speaking English only about 5 years ago. Still, I managed to graduate US college in top 3% of the class and I am pretty sure I will be able to handle law school as well. And yes, LSAT is three or maybe five times harder to handle for ESL students. And it has NOTHING to do with the knowledge of English grammar, vocabulary, or punctuation. For everyone with ESL it takes more time and attention to comprehend RC passage or long and witty LR question and grasp all those little details and nuances of language which comes naturally to native speakers but ESL speaker had to learn and memorize. Once again, it's not about the level of your English, it's about the EXPERIENCE to handle it very fast and efficiently under the LSAT time pressure.
I know a lot of people who are not native english speakers as and still graduated law schools and became successful lawyers. And it makes sense to try to explain to the admissions of a law school that your LSAT is lower that their average not because you dumber than other applicants, but because it takes you a few more minutes to read the RC passage than other applicants for understandable reasons.
Studying for the LSAT / Tutor in Miami« on: October 28, 2008, 09:50:02 AM »
Can anyone suggest a good tutor in Miami area?
Studying for the LSAT / Does anyone else have similar numbers as me?« on: October 25, 2008, 10:34:26 AM »
Is there anyone else in my boat? I got 155 on October LSAT, which is lower than my lowest diagnostics, with average being 162. My GPA is 3.95 and I have very strong personal statement and 2 good academic recommendations.
Like most of us here, there is 3 choices for me: 1 Give up law school all together? Well, it was my dream.
2. Keep whatever I got and apply? I feel its gonna shot the door of too many good schools for me.
3. Retake it in December? I know there good chances for me to get better score because I bombed Oct. test from being to nervous and couldn't get my thoughts together until forth section. But even if I do better, It's gonna be late application which decreases my admission chances and practically prevents from receiving any financial aid.
Just want to know if there anyone else in the same position as me with similar numbers. What are going to do guys? I will really appreciate any input!!!
Recommendations / Re: Slow recommender and applying to Hofstra« on: October 22, 2008, 04:38:30 AM »
Well, you have just answered your question yourself. If you know that the recommendation is going to be decent but not great and you already have one required LOR which is great, why would you wait for her and jeopardize you admission chances? Unless you are sure that her letter of recommendation is going to be so great that it may positively influence your admission chances, why would you want to wait for it for uncertain period of time??? To me it personally doesn't make sense...
Personal Statement / Re: Personal Statement trouble (yes another one)« on: October 22, 2008, 02:09:17 AM »
I like the topic about international travel experience, plus I think I read in one of the admission books (don't remember which one) that describing international travel experience and especially what you learned from it may be a good topic for PS. My second choice probably would be topic about the adoption.
Well, I don't want to go with my old PS (about a student of mine), so I am now trying to narrow down to which topic would relay into a good PS. I have these ideas for me:

Allen Iverson showed up in Philly last night, and came out to a rounding ovation in a Lou Williams jersey. It certainly fired the crowd up. In Game 7, Boston could bring out Scalabrine to have the same effect, or better yet, trot out half of the Hall of Fame. During the game, ESPN caught up with Iverson and asked him about playing again in the NBA. He doesn't even want to speak the word "retirement" and also said, "I wanna play basketball so bad." After that interview, both "Allen Iverson" and even more incredibly, "Bubba Chuck" were trending worldwide. That goes to show you how obsessed people still are with Mr. Practice, as well as the NBA's forward thinking. No league takes better advantage of social media … Iverson might also be the first person to ever dress exactly the same from the time he was 16 until he was 36. He deserves some type of award for that, doesn't he? … Udonis Haslem, courtesy of trying to shave the skin off Tyler Hansbrough's face, has been suspended for one game and will miss Game 6 tomorrow night. That was warranted. We can't complain when he nearly decapitated Psycho T. Seriously, Gerald Henderson would've been proud of that foul. Then Dexter Pittman was suspended for three games because of the deliberate cheap shot he gave to Lance Stephenson. The NBA could've suspended him for 20 games for that, and no one would've even noticed. Haslem at least plays a role in Miami, and with him out for the next game, along with Larry Legend calling his team out for being pussies and David West believing he took a cheap shot in Game 5, we're just waiting for West to pull a P.J. Brown on one of Miami's guards … And this is not a joke – we almost wish it was, the Orlando fans have suffered enough – but ESPN reported last night that Shaquille O'Neal will interview with the Magic brass for their vacant GM position. There are some positives. The "Shaq as an analyst" experiment could be over, and save us from hearing "1-2 punch" for the 1,456th time. But for the Magic, there could be some problems if they ever hired O'Neal. Would Shaq get rid of any center who wasn't averaging 28 and 15 (his definition of a solid big man)? … We're out like Shaq the GM.

Connect America Phase I Challenge Process Public Notice

Federal Communications Commission
News Media Information 202 / 418-0500445 12th St., S.W.
Internet: https://www.fcc.gov
Washington, D.C. 20554
Released: December 5, 2012
WC Docket No. 10-90
Comment Date: January 4, 2013
Reply Comment Date: January 22, 2013
and corrections to the National Broadband Map (NBM) in connection with potential future rounds of
Connect America Phase I incremental support.1 Accordingly, the Bureau has prepared a list of potentially
unserved census blocks in price cap territories, published at
(download .csv file of census blocks), https://github.com/fccdata/unserved_fixed_broadband (view list,
make edits, and post in .csv format), and https://www.fcc.gov/maps/unserved-fixed-broadband (view map
of census blocks). The census blocks on this list are shown on the most recent version of the National
Broadband Map (data as of December 2011) as completely or partially unserved by fixed terrestrial
broadband with advertised speeds of 3 Mbps downstream and 768 kbps upstream.
As directed by the Commission, the Bureau solicits public input on this list of census blocks. In
particular, the Bureau seeks comment on areas where coverage is either overstated (i.e., by omission of
unserved census blocks from the list) or understated (i.e., census blocks are listed as unserved when they
are in fact served). Commenters claiming that an entity's coverage is overstated are encouraged to serve a
copy of their comments on the entity whose service area the commenter is challenging. The Bureau also
seeks comment on whether any of the census blocks on the list are served through the Broadband
Initiatives Program or the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program. The Bureau additionally seeks
comment on whether commenters have brought any changes to the attention of the relevant state mapping

16 (rel. Nov. 19, 2012) (FNRPM). The Bureau acknowledges that there is an ongoing process to collect, verify and
publish information twice a year in the National Broadband Map, and the timing of this public notice is not intended
to disrupt or supplant that process.
entity or any other entity, and, if they have, to further describe the outcome of any of those discussions.2
In commenting on this list of potentially unserved census blocks, the above suggested topics are neither
exclusive nor exhaustive. Commenters are free to bring any information they deem relevant to the
Bureau's attention.
The Bureau has made available various tools on the webpages containing the list of census blocks
to allow commenters to review and analyze this list. These tools allow commenters to view a map of
populated census blocks that contain unserved locations and to view and edit a list of unserved census
blocks. Commenters are encouraged to use these tools in formulating their comments and to provide the
Commission an electronic copy of any updates to the list of blocks as a table that contains just changes
(e.g., a list of additional blocks and/or a list of blocks that do not belong on the list). The Bureau
encourages comments that provide specific, actionable information rather than general statements.
Information such as specific census blocks or geocoded locations that are believed to be inaccurate will be
especially useful.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration updates the NBM every six
months. If the Commission decides to do an additional round of Phase I funding, and the NBM is
updated prior to the adoption of such a final rule in response to the FNPRM, the Bureau may incorporate
that update, as well as any other relevant information that commenters provide, into its final list of
unserved locations eligible for any additional rounds of Phase I incremental support.
Pursuant to sections 1.415 and 1.419 of the Commission's rules, interested parties may file
comments or reply comments on or before the dates indicated above.3 Comments may be filed using the
Commission's Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS).4
Electronic Filers: Comments may be filed electronically using the Internet by accessing the
ECFS: http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs2/.
Paper Filers: Parties who choose to file by paper must file an original and one copy of each
filing. Filings can be sent by hand or messenger delivery, by commercial overnight courier, or by
first-class or overnight U.S. Postal Service mail. All filings must be addressed to the
Commission's Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission.
o All hand-delivered or messenger-delivered paper filings for the Commission's Secretary
must be delivered to FCC Headquarters at 445 12th St., SW, Room TW-A325,
Washington, DC 20554. The filing hours are 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. All hand deliveries
must be held together with rubber bands or fasteners. Any envelopes and boxes must be
disposed of before entering the building.
2 The Bureau is relying on the currently published version of the NBM, which is based on data as of December
2011. Thus, in addition to inaccuracies (e.g., a census block is omitted from the list despite being unserved), there
may also be subsequent updates that commenters have already relayed to their state mapping entities (e.g., a census
block was unserved in 2011, but has since become served). Commenters are encouraged to report both types of

Who's Your Disney Spirit Animal?
We all grew up with Disney films and have a slew of wonderful female role models to guide us through life's tough road to our own very own happy ending. Lucky for all of us mostly-white, heteronormative ladies, we can still learn lessons from these fine women of the animated screen. I present you with my favorites – see if you can spot who you identify with most (note: your mother has to be dead if you want to be a princess)!
The Princess – You're not really sure why you got a happy ending, but you're also not the most stable person since you spend your free time making tiny clothes for tiny animals. Somewhere at some point there was something about you being hard working and virtuous, but as far as Disney goes, you mostly just get rewarded for putting up with abuse. You don't try to solve your own problems, you wish and hope them away and then luck out. Good for you! Buy me a lottery ticket?
That Other Princess, Who's Not Really a Princess But Calling You That Is Better For Marketing Products With Your Image On It – You like to read, even though you're a girl. Everyone thinks you're weird, because girls aren't supposed to be smart, but you, being the rebel spirit that you are, like to educate yourself through story books. You're very self-sacrificing, whether you're saving your dad from a furry anger management reject, or putting up with said anger management reject's antics because you're secretly hoping the dinnerware will do another Bob Fosse number. Speaking of which, you may want to look into that whole seeing-the-dinnerware-go-all-Broadway thing, there are better ways to deal with stressful situations.
The Sushi Princess – You have zero self-respect and are kind of boy crazy, to the point of stalking. You might be unsafe and unstable, though you probably also have an eating disorder and are too frail to cause any serious damage to anyone, should you fully lose it. You have no thoughts or ideas to express and put no value on your heritage, so you find it easy to make shady deals with shady people in back alleys. You would make a great drug mule, as long as your destination was your crush's house and it pissed your dad off.
The Ethnic Princess – You resent your privilege and are ready to shed it the first time you don't get your own way. You're also more than ready to use it to your advantage the second things get tough, like when someone wants to cut off your hand because you have no idea how an economy works, even though you'll have to help run your country one day. You like fancy things and using your sexuality to get out of scary situations. While your brain is fully functional, it's mostly focused on basic language skills, involuntary organ functions, and keeping your tube top on even though the sleeves are just kind of floating there. Oh wait, that's your boobs.
The Gender Queer – You are adorable and everyone loves you for being you. You are of ambiguous gender and sexuality, and I'm not sure how you made it into a Disney film, but props to you. Let the revolution begin!
The Other Ethnic Princess – You are a product of Disney's token mid-90's interest in multiculturalism. Congrats! You have sacrificed your historical accuracy for the more important greater good of fitting the standard princess story. Most of your life's facts have been changed, but at least in this story your nation doesn't die from war and disease. Your happy ending has educated thousands of children about your heritage and the importance of tolerance, as brought to you by white Anglo-Saxon colonists! I have serious issues with you, we probably shouldn't hang out.
The Heroine – You risk your life and overcome your fears repeatedly to save the life of your child. You are a single mother raising three children and do so without any complaints, while focusing on your husband's legacy and how it can help your family. You are also a Don Bluth character from his post-Disney career, and were an MGM production. You have nothing to do with Disney, except for how much you threatened them with your film's success. No wonder you don't fit in with these other gals!
The Sociopath – I'm not sure what went wrong in your childhood, but you probably have a lot of mommy issues. You hate the given heroine of your story, and are often related to her. A woman in a position of power, you feel compelled to destroy anyone and everyone for the sake of sheer evil while spewing your Mr. T complex all over the place and calling them fools. Your often psychotic reaction helps prove the point that women are better people when they're submissive. If we're lucky, you get to sing and dance before you're inevitably killed in the interest of a happy ending.
This Is Not About You – You somehow got this story named after you, even though you're the least active character in it. You're very good at singing and looking pretty and are easily distracted by shiny things. You fall in love with the first man you meet, because you cannot resist the overpowering manliness of his manly masculinity. Your three winged fairy friends drive your whole story, fixing everything for you and fighting your boyfriend's battles for him, but you take the credit, and a sizable nap for good measure.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. The article is being written from front page stories that appeared during each year in commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth in 1891.
The year opened with the news that the town of Castle Gate was going to be leveled by its new owners McCulloch Oil Corporation. The company had set a Jan. 31, 1974 date for people to sign that they would move out or have houses moved to the then new Castle Gate Subdivision in Spring Canyon. Early signers got a $200 signing bonus. Previous owner North American Coal Company had said they would give residents of the area the land their houses stood on, but a later agreement with McCulloch basically rescinded that agreement and the land was passed to the new owner. Towns people thought about legal action but lawyers told them that the most they could hope for was a delay in the destruction of the town. Castle Gate, which was incorporated in 1914, would be gone before the end of the year. On June 18 residents voted to disincorporate the town.
A lawsuit filed by parents against the Carbon School District concerning the districts dress code went before Judge Edward Sheya in late January. Tensions over the dress code, which among other things prevented young men from having long hair and girls from wearing pants to school (they could only wear dresses), and which resulted in some student walkouts two years previous, were high and the courtroom at the county courthouse was packed while the case was presented in mid-January. In early March Sheya threw out the dress code, in fact only leaving one sentence that concerned that cleanliness of men's hair in place. The next day almost three quarters of the girls at Carbon High School wore pants to school.
A fire in early February took out a large grocery warehouse in Price. Utah Wholesale Grocery, which was located at 100 South and 100 West sustained $1 million in damage to the building and lost contents during the blaze. The fire was discovered when the manager and three employees came to work at 8 a.m. on Feb.9. They opened the doors to back a truck in and smoke billowed out of the building. That manager went downstairs in an elevator to check where the smoke was coming from but was driven back by the smoke and tried to return to the first level. However, just before the elevator reached that level it stopped and he had to kick the doors open to get out. The Price Fire Department soon arrived, but within a few minutes flames "hundreds of feet high" broke through the roof of the building. Units from the Helper Fire Department arrived to assist in fighting the blaze and worked to keep the fire from spreading to other buildings. Initially it was determined the fire started in the furnace room of the building. The warehouse had been used to supply nearly 50 grocery stores in the two county area. Most people didn't realize how important that warehouse was until after it burned and store shelves became empty of some items when they sold out because delivery could not be "immediate." Bad news came in March when it was announced that the rest of the building would be bulldozed and that from then on, deliveries would come out of the Salt Lake operation.
That same week a tanker truck driven by a Price man was shot at as it crossed over Indian Canyon. Max Shepard said that he was blinded by a spot light from a late model car that drove past him and then he heard the windshield of the truck break. Once at the Port of Entry, it was found that the truck had been peppered by shotgun pellets. A recent truckers strike was discounted as a reason for the attack by law enforcement.
Gasoline shortages were also again prevalent in 1974. Local businesses dependent on tourism were very worried about what might happen if the cost was much higher and the supply even tighter than the year before. The Arab oil embargo was affecting most of the nation by the early winter and the summer looked bleak.
It was also announced in the spring that the Carbon High band had been invited to participate in the parade at the Calgary (Canada) Stampede that year. Fund raising efforts to help the band to go began immediately, with a large thermometer showing the money that had raised on the front page of the Sun Advocate every week beginning in May. The effort to send the band was similar to the one 10 years earlier when the band was sent to the Rose Parade in California. The band had a rigorous practice schedule to get ready for the parade and left in early July to march in the parade.
Another fire in May left the Alpine Motel badly damaged. The motel, which was located west of Price started on fire on May 9, and damaged the boiler room and half dozen units of the lodging property. The estimated damage was $15,000.
Then in mid-May another fire, one which devastated the community, and one in which arson was determined to be the cause, burned Price Elementary School to the ground. The school, which was only six years old, suffered $1.2 million in damage. It stood where the Carbon District Office and Lighthouse stands today. The fire was discovered by a deputy who was making rounds of Mont Harmon and the school that burned. At 9:50 p.m. He turned in the alarm via his car after seeing flames in the school library. Two other people also noticed the blaze and turned in the alarm at almost the same time. After the Price Fire Department arrived they found that it was almost impossible to pump water from a hydrant (the only one nearby) that was south of the school and down the hill. A wind blowing from the southeast also fanned the flames. While units from Helper and Wellington also arrived to fight the fire, water was still a problem. The units tried to pump water from the nearby canal but the steep banks made getter water from there difficult too. In the aftermath, the district released the students from the school four days early for their summer break and started to figure out where they would house them the next year, while construction was going on for a new building. That option turned out to be the old Price Central School that had been closed for a number of years. By that time the building belonged to Price City and the district had to set up an agreement to rent the building from the municipality. A bond election was held in September to finance the construction of a new building to replace the burnt down one and it passed easily 1,186-544. No one was ever arrested or charged in connection with the fire.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- A cannon sits outside the St. Petersburg Yacht Club, but on New Year's Eve it was a different kind of gun that caused problems there.
Like thousands of people around the Bay area, Laurie Eberhardt was watching fireworks. She was on the balcony at the yacht club with her husband Henry and some friends, when shortly after midnight a bullet struck her hand.

"It's excruciating, almost like fire going into your arm and my wrist. I've never felt anything so painful and so scary," says Eberhardt, 67, who lives on Beach Drive.
Police say the large caliber bullet most likely came from a rife that someone fired into the air to celebrate New Year's.
"Again, people think of it as harmless, because they're point up in the air," says police spokesman Mike Puetz. "But it's been shown time and time again; this is just one of those things that can have very, very, negative results."
Beth and George Pennington were on their boat, docked at the yacht club -- also watching the fireworks -- when they noticed the commotion of police lights and an ambulance.
"They wheeled her right across in front of us and I thought, 'Oh my God, somebody really did get hurt," says Beth.
But it wasn't until today that the couple learned that a dangerous bullet had dropped from the sky so nearby.
"Scary. It could have been us; could have been anybody," said George.
"It makes you wonder why people do those things. It's not good for anybody," said Beth.
Eberhardt, a former Kindergarten teacher, also doesn't understand why people don't think before they pull the trigger.
The bullet traveled across her hand, over her wrist and several inches up her arm. Doctors say the area will eventually heal, but it may take longer for her emotions to recover.
"This was extremely frightening," she says. "It was horrifying."

The world's largest software company, SAP, recently tried several energy-saving techniques at their first U.S. location in Palo Alto, California, such as adopting solar power, LED lights, electric cars and video conferencing.
SAP found that video conferencing gave them the most cost-savings in their attempt to lessen their environmental impact, reports Seeking Alpha. The green-friendly energy overhaul came as a result of fluctuating energy prices, new regulations, employee satisfaction and market opportunities.
According to the news source, SAP paid $300,000 to have three video conferencing systems installed. While the initial cost may be daunting, those units will save the company $300,000 in reduced travel costs in the first year alone in addition to boosting productivity.
"No one wants to fly every few weeks to Germany," where the company's headquarters are located, Rami Branitzky, managing director of SAP Labs North America, told reporter Michael Kanellos.
Coming in second place in the company's energy saving blitz was LED light fixtures, but the savings was nearly one-fourth less than that of video conferencing technologies. Installing 337 LED fixtures cost SAP $434,000 up front, but will save $80,000 annually.

MARILYN MONROE: A play based on her final hours in her bedroom performed at Queen's Theatre, Barnstaple
Posted: May 28, 2014|
SEE Marilyn Monroe as you've never seen her before in a no-holds-barred performance detailing her decline.
Alone in her bedroom, adorned in dressing gown and slippers and overdosed on pills, watch as the woman behind the icon reveals her remarkable life; a biting intelligence, a frustrated talent and an imperfect body.
A stark confessional, The Unremarkable Death Of Marilyn Monroe offers the audience an unorthodox interpretation of the Hollywood legend, leading us to the moment of her death.
Dyad Productions creates, produces and tours classic theatre with an innovative and contemporary emphasis. This radical interpretation of one of the world's most famous women is Dyad's fifth original production in as many years and, although a work of fiction, aims to expose the truth behind the legend.
The Unremarkable Death Of Marilyn Monroe is at studio@QT, Queen's Theatre in Barnstaple on Wednesday, June 4 at 8pm. Tickets: £12.50 (general), £10.50 (concession), £9.50 (NDT member), £6 (under 25). Box office: 01271 324242 or www.northdevontheatres.org.

|Combined approach to counteract experimental cancer cachexia: eicosapentaenoic acid and training exercise.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21766055 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Cancer cachexia is a syndrome characterized by loss of skeletal muscle protein, depletion of lipid stores, anorexia, weakness, and perturbations of the hormonal homeostasis. Despite several therapeutic approaches described in the past, effective interventions countering cancer cachexia are still lacking. METHODS: The present work was aimed to verify the ability of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to prevent the muscle depletion in Lewis lung carcinoma-bearing mice and to test the ability of endurance exercise training to increase the EPA effect. RESULTS: EPA alone did not prevent the muscle loss induced by tumor growth while the combination with exercise induced a partial rescue of muscle strength and mass. Moreover, the association of EPA and exercise reduced the dramatic PAX-7 accumulation and stimulated the increase of PCG-1 protein. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the present data suggest that exercise is an effective tool that should be added for combined therapeutic approaches against cancer cachexia. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL: The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s13539-011-0028-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

where I didn't plan properly for dinner. I wanted to make this new recipe for a fresh tomato sauce using my garden bounty but I didn't read the whole recipe. I needed a few hours to roast the tomatoes and I didn't have that kind of time. So what's a gal to do? She gets into "Italian Mama Chef" mode and gets to work.
What I managed to come up with was appetizing, filling and very tasty. Oh and did I mention easy? Yep, it was easy. I made spaghetti with aglio, olio and peperoncino which is simply pasta with a garlic and red pepper flake flavored olive oil. We didn't have any parmesan to serve but it still tasted great without it and we didn't miss it. I cut up the leftover Italian sausages from homemade pizzas last night and cooked those. I sliced up a whole bunch of those Roma tomatoes from my garden and added olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and some dried basil. Yum!
I bought some baked bread sticks and covered them with some olive oil, sprinkled with Kosher salt, pepper and dried rosemary. I covered them in foil and baked on 375 for about 15 minutes or until warm. I also served some black and green olives, canned artichoke hearts and pepperoncini rings. The flavors were rockin'! Jake, my 15-year-old son, who devoured the meal told me how good it was and that he was stuffed.

Class of 2000: Teacher appreciates her career, hearing from former students
Sandra Fry's teaching career began in August 1988 when she welcomed the Class of 2000 to their very first day of first grade at Chilhowee Elementary School.
Her students would have referred to her then as Mrs. Khaddouma; she has since been remarried.
They were timid and cautious 24 years ago. They're grownups now.
"It's hard to believe they are going to be 30. I can't believe they are going to be that old, or that I'm going to be that old," said Fry with a laugh.
Fry said she had not been updated on the Class of 2000 in quite a while, but she still thinks of them fondly.
"I think of kids like Elizabeth and Blakely, but they're all grown-up and probably have kids of their own at this point," she said.
Fry told the News Sentinel in 1988 she had not planned on being a teacher. She had in mind a career in social work after receiving her bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Tennessee.
After getting a job at a nursery school, however, she fell in love with teaching and went back to school for her master's in elementary education.
It's a choice she does not regret.
"Sometimes I'll get to see one of my kids graduate, or I'll have a kid that'll call me and say, 'Hey, I made the debate team," or, 'Hey, I got into this college.' It's so rewarding because I've done something to help them get where they wanted to be."
Fry taught at Chilhowee until 1990 before leaving the classroom behind for nine years to raise her own three children.
She returned to teach at Pond Gap Elementary, where she is now a master teacher who works with both children and teachers to help improve existing lesson plans and teaching strategies.
In 1989, after she completed her first school year, Fry told the News Sentinel, "I'm always going to stay in education — maybe not always first grade, but I can't see myself doing anything else."
In the future, Fry would like to be a principal to help even more children within the community — children, she says, who have not changed a whole lot since 1988.
"Kids are still kids, always curious about the world. The biggest difference now is children know that they can find answers to many of their questions quickly and easily," she said. "Unfortunately many kids believe that if it says it on the Internet it must be true ... I don't think that children are different now, I think the way children learn about their world is different."

OK....here goes ..
A lil bit of background...2001 F250 4WD Shortbed Supercab Auto Tranny 3.73 gears 285/75/R16 cooper AT's truck has a new tranny with 6.0 torque converter ...
65,000 miles
Last fall my mileage was like 10 mpg so I knew something was seriously wrong well turns out tranny rebuild from local shop was crap burnt clutches in converter and 2nd gear...
I also fixed leakign up pipes with IH during all this which helped boost tons 18 psi WOT
OK so I had tranny rebuilt last weekend in may and drove it home from michigan at the end of the trip milage was 14 mpg
after getting it home I replaced the ICP sensor and IPR valve in hopes that would make things better ...in tiwn mileage was 12 mpg so nothing evetfull
I have replaced every sensor but the oil temp and oil pressure sensor...
I bought auto-engineuity over the weekend and tested it out found my oil temp up in the 225 range which is way hot ...I replaced the radiator...fan clutch and thermostat ..water pump new this spring ...so my cooling system is new with the exception of removing the oil cooler which I want to do for the benefit of the doubt cool oil is happy oil especially from the standpoint of the HPOP and rest of the motor..anyway I lowered my temps considerabley I'd say 20 degrees all around coolant and oil ...still want to do the oil cooler just becuase I was lax in my maintenance on both the cooling and oil system ..nuff said
So anyway I used sea foam to flush my oil at the end of the last 2 oil changes some say bad some say great oh well ....got alot of crap out ...
so now to the REV-X I refilled with rotella-t and 8 OZ's of REV-X and drove 50 miles away all highway up and down with AC on entire time at 70 MPH
I filled up before we left dayton and after we got to cincy with lil or no street level driving 52 miles round trip 2.5 gallons to fill up at pump = 20.8 MPG now I put in another .5 gallons till I saw fuel in the neck so lets just er on the conservative side and say 52/3 gallons = 17 mpg
OK so to be scientific we have to be objective about it I made a few major changes to the system all at the same time I want to see how in town mileage compares ....as well so if you can putt 66.00 worth of stuff that will increase mileage lets say 3000 miles per oil change * 10 % = 300 miles at 18 mpg so that is 300/18 = 16 gallons of fuel * 3.00 a gallon = 50.00 so it almost pays for itself now do the benefits extend beyond the oil change spokesman for product claims truck needs two back to back treatments to achieve the full lubrication benefit ....I also am buying amsoils best synthetic lubricant on monday for my next oil change and supposedly you can run 7500 till filter replacement and then another 7500 till change out if you do oil testing you can extend that to 25000 if duty is not severe ...we will see anyone who uses amsoil feel free to comment I do not feel rotella is good beyond 3,000 miles and me pushing it over that into the 5,000 mile range has cuased me alot of the problems I am sorting thru now I am tired of driveway oil changes and work I am shopless
So feel free to comment if it adds to powerstroke owners getting better mileage / less mechanical wear on the internals ect I want my truck to last forever
I still feel I have either a weak hpop or injector issues be it leaking O-rings or something on the fuel side my fuel pressure stays a rock steady 60 psi so hopefull it's something I can fix without injector rebuild or a new hpop ....any suggestions ?? I have test equipment ..hoses and guages for mechanical test getting a hydrualic hand pump for static test on the heads as well as autoenginuity for that side of things If I can get this thing sorted out with good fuel mileage and the power levels back at 100% and then put a 60 hp economy/tow tune on it wow she would be a rocketship
Nothing is more frustrating than a truck like this with 5 different issues going on at once the diode issue in the tranny really pissed me off at the Ford motor company ...they should have recalled every unit produced a man and a company are no better than their word and frankly if the big 3 want to stay in the car making buissness they better stop passing the buck anyway I digress I don't recommend one of these truck to anyone who isn't maintenance minded and mechanically oriented way to much going on under the hood! I'm learning and finding out along the way !
Lets see how much I have spent on the truck ...to date
3 payments left 500 a month ...so 72 months * 500 = 36000.00
45000/3000 = 22 oil changes at 60 dollars each = 900
1 sorry *** tranny rebuild 7,000 miles = 2000
1 guy fixing it new tires and drag link aligment cooler , rear main seal read my thread about beware of local tranny rebuilders
= 1860 plus hotel and fuel to grand rapids and back = 2000.00
fuel 45,000/14 mpg at best lol guessing = 4600 gallons * 3.00 lol remember when it was 4.50 a gallon I parked my truck for over a year lol
so that = 9600 in fuel
so add another 2,000 for fuel treatments and air filters and stuff I can't remember to be fair
non commercial tags at 80 a year lol 6 yrs = 500
new radiator 230 water pump 140 thermo/hoses/stat housing fan clutch 350.00 so 750.00
sensors ..map 50 uhm EXBP 80 ICP 125.00 IPR 175 boost bleed solenoid and wastegate actuator 100.00 = 500.00
IH up pipe kit 500.00
300 on tranny fluid lol
200 on antifreeze im going to stop now while im ahead ...my nugget hurts
not even going to count brakes and rotors lol
cost of ownership of this F250 to now is for a used truck I bought with 20,000 miles = 54,750 dollars lol wow it adds up !
must be I haven't dumped her off yet
anyway if REV-X works like it appears to I'm really happy another PSD owner here local is going to try it with his rig towing a boston whaler to florida in 2 weeks so that will be the real test and my in town driving as well as another trip to UP in MI will be good as well ...
feel free to chime in if you have a story yourself sorry to be so long winded I'm just trying to get my girl back running good and i was venting
What is REV-x?
its a oil additive
Ahh gotcha.
one of my buddies actually showed me this stuff over the weekend. he said it works wonders.
Just for your info when using the rev-x you can run any oil to a 7500 mile oil change. I have been using rev-x for years with oil analysis testing with the Motorcraft oil and change my oil at 10,000 miles and have had none of the goofy problems others have with the fuel system. And my turbo spools waaaaay faster with rev-x in as well. I wouldn't run the Amsoil that far if I were you, there have been horror stories everywhere about this and I have experienced it in person. NOT a good idea!
Im pretty sure the rev x for a fix for the 6.0s not sure for the 7.3s. Anyways i wouldnt put anything in my oil, but fuel yes.
see this is what pisses me off guys who make statements with no info to back things up like wtf did it do to your truck ect .......

The interest rate for the Parent Direct PLUS is fixed at 7.21%. There is a loan fee of 4.292% of the principal amount charged for each Direct PLUS Loan that you borrow.
Direct PLUS Loan for Parents is a loan in the parent's name for dependent undergraduate students enrolled at least half-time in a degree program. It is not necessary to demonstrate financial need in order to receive a PLUS Loan. Approval for the PLUS Loan is based on good credit. The maximum PLUS Loan amount that parents can borrow on a yearly basis is the cost of education minus any other financial aid received.
Direct Graduate PLUS Loan is a loan in the student's name for graduate and professional studies.The interest rate for the Graduate PLUS Loan is 7.21%. In order for a graduate or professional student to receive a Federal PLUS Loan they must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Filing the FAFSA enables the student to be considered for unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan. Approval for the PLUS Loan is based on good credit and the student being enrolled at least half-time in a graduate or professional degree program.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Robert Griffin III was limited with a knee brace but still threw two touchdowns passes, and the Washington Redskins held on against the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-20, to put themselves on the brink of a division title.
In perhaps Andy Reid's final home game as their head coach, the Eagles scored a late touchdown and reached the Washington 5-yard line in the closing seconds. The comeback came up short, as Nick Foles was flagged for intentional grounding with one second left, resulting in a 10-second runoff that ended the game.
The Redskins (9-6), behind Griffin and fellow rookie Alfred Morris, have recorded five road wins in one season for the first time since 1991 and can capture their first NFC East crown in 13 years with a home win over the Cowboys in next week's regular season finale.
Griffin missed last week's win over Cleveland with a sprained right knee and only ran the ball twice on Sunday to go with 198 yards and an interception on 16-of-24 attempts.
Morris posted 91 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries for the Redskins, who are currently riding a six-game winning streak that started Nov. 18 against an Eagles club in the midst of an eight-game slide, the longest in Reid's 14-year tenure.
Philadelphia (4-11) earned a last-second win over the Buccaneers in Week 14 to stop the skid, but has since lost two in row, leading to more speculation that Reid's time on the sideline is soon coming to an end.

Vol. III, No. 23
Yawns in Bonn
The fifth Conference of the Parties (COP-5) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change concluded with little fanfare and with major decisions being put off until COP-6 in 2000. The conference had begun with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder calling on governments to ratify the Protocol so that it will be in force by 2002.
The dispute between the U.S. and the E.U. over whether there should be caps on the use of flexible mechanisms was tabled once again. But several technical issues were resolved, such as an agreement "on how to improve the rigor of national reports from industrialized countries and strengthen the guidelines for measuring their greenhouse gas emissions."
"Other decisions," according to a press release from the conference, "establish the process negotiators will follow over the coming 12 months. They will make it possible to finalize regimes for non-compliance, capacity building, emission trading, joint implementation, and a Clean Development Mechanism. They also point the way forward for determining how to address adverse effects on developing countries and how to account for net emissions from forests (which can act as carbon 'sinks')." The sixth Conference of the Parties will be held in The Hague on November 13-24, 2000.
Implementation Without Ratification?
The Clinton-Gore Administration has said repeatedly that it will do nothing to implement the Kyoto Protocol prior to ratification by the U.S. Senate. Several actions by the administration, however, demonstrate that they are perfectly willing to pursue reductions of CO2 in the absence of ratification. Although administration proposals such as the Clean Technology Initiative and its support for "credits for early action" may not directly implement Kyoto, they are clearly meant to grease the skids to ratification, and perhaps make such a vote a mere formality.
A recent action by the administration clearly shows they it has no respect for constitutional processes. The U.S. Senate rejected the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty by a 51-48 vote on October 13. Despite this rejection, the administration maintains that the treaty is the law of the land merely by virtue of the president's signature.
According to an article in The Washington Times (November 2, 1999), Secretary of State Madeleine Albright wrote a letter to foreign governments stating that the U.S. is legally bound by the treaty despite the Senate's rejection. "Despite this setback, I want to assure you that the United States will continue to act in accordance with its obligations as a signatory under international law, and will seek reconsideration of the treaty at a later date when conditions are better suited for ratification," said Secretary Albright.
State Department spokesman James Rubin said in an interview, "We believe that so long as the president…expresses his intention to seek advice and consent pending whatever timeframe he chooses, customary international law applies." In other words, as long as the administration has not given up on the treaty it is still legally bound to uphold it. The same logic could apply to Kyoto. Since President Clinton has not submitted it to the Senate for ratification, but plans to do so, the U.S. is bound to comply with its targets.
Further evidence of the administration's disrespect for the law is its latest attack on coal-fired power plants. Thwarted by the D.C. Court of Appeals in its attempts to impose overly stringent air-quality standards on utilities in Midwestern states, the Environmental Protection Agency has brought suit against seven electric utility companies for emissions at coal-fired power plants.
According to Ken Maize, editor of Electricity Daily (November 8, 1999), "EPA has concocted a novel, backdoor approach (to lower NOx emissions): claiming that what the utilities clearly believed were routine maintenance activities were actually major modifications under the Clean Air Act. It's a gigantic stretch."
"The EPA's latest ploy is clearly extra-legal. The definition of routine maintenance has been long established, and none of the utilities charged in the EPA complaint were reckless enough or stupid enough to try to turn routine maintenance into a loophole," wrote Mr. Maize. "A retrospective reinterpretation in what constitutes a major modification gives the agency a hammer to pound home its policy views."
CEI Challenges Pew
The debate over global warming has deteriorated to thirty-second sound bites that consist of a litany of scare stories with no scientific basis whatsoever. In an attempt to raise the level of the debate, the Competitive Enterprise Institute has challenged the Pew Center on Climate Change, a major left-wing advocate of energy controls, to a series of scientific debates in Washington and other cities, "to review the evidence for and against Kyoto in a more thoughtful fashion."
The letter was sent by Jack Kemp, a distinguished fellow at CEI, to the Pew Center and appeared in a full-page ad in Roll Call on November 2, 1999. So far the Pew Center has not responded to the challenge.
U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Slow
A new report by the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that U.S. emission of greenhouse gases rose in 1998, but at a slower rate than the average for the last ten years. Since 1990, U.S. emissions have increased by about 1.2 percent per year on average. In 1998, however, emissions rose by only 0.2 percent over 1997 levels. The EIA also noted that U.S. emission levels remained about 10 percent above 1990 levels.
Many advocates of Kyoto style energy controls have pointed to this report as evidence that the use of fossil fuels is no longer linked to economic growth, since this decline occurred while the U.S. economy posted strong gains. The EIA argues, however, that the decline was due to a warmer-than-usual winter, which lowered demand for heating (BNA Daily Environment Report, November 8, 1999).
U.K. Needs Nuclear Power
Green pressure groups have dubbed global warming the greatest threat to the planet, so great that we must make severe reductions in energy use at great cost to prevent it. They are also adamantly opposed to the use nuclear power to stop this world-ending threat.
According to the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society, however, there may be little choice. These groups argue in a joint report "that the UK's stated intention of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fighting global warming, will only be met by accepting the need for nuclear power as a significant part of the energy mix," according to the UK: Environment News (November 8, 1999). It looks like the Greens are going to have to decide which is the greater threat: global warming or nuclear power.
Why We Shouldn't Sweat Global Warming
In a briefing for congressional staff and media on November 5, sponsored by the Cooler Heads Coalition, Dr. Patrick Michaels debunked many of the global warming myths that have made their way into public debate over the last decade. Climate models have consistently overestimated climatic warming, and new research has proved that mild warming will likely be beneficial to human beings and the planet, according to Dr. Michaels, Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Virginia
"The warming we are seeing is largely confined to the areas of Siberia and northwestern North America, and the vast majority of that occurs during the winter months," Dr. Michaels explained. Accordingly, the most likely result of a predicted 1.5-degree increase in temperatures over the next 100 years will be slightly milder winters in Siberia and Northern Canada, hardly doomsday effects.
The current, rather mild, warming projections come from many of the same researchers that made the apocalyptic warming predictions of a decade ago. Climatologists around the world have been progressively revising their predictions downward as their models improve. "It appears that the people who were the so-called 'small band of skeptics' must have had a point," Dr. Michaels commented.
Dr. Michaels critiqued media coverage linking "severe" weather to global warming. He noted that neither droughts, hurricanes, nor floods have increased significantly in the last 50 years. Regarding the infamous Dust Bowl drought of 1934, Dr. Michaels stressed how such events were part of the earth's natural cycle: "Severe droughts have happened before, and they're going to happen again. Except that the next time, it'll be 'global warming' that's responsible. No one will want to hear about all the times these kinds of event have happened in the past."
The talk concluded with some very simple answers to the climate change debate. Temperature increases, concentrated in the coldest parts of the world, and mostly during winter, will, if anything, be beneficial. "Cold related deaths outnumber heat related deaths four to one," Dr. Michaels pointed out.
Two members of Ozone Action passed out a one page "exposé" of Dr. Michaels that misrepresented his views on global warming. During Q&A, Dr. Michaels confronted them but they had no response. Hopefully, Ozone Action's misperceptions regarding Dr. Michaels views have been cleared up.
The Costs of El Niño, La Niña
El Niño has taken a lot of heat for its alleged role in several adverse weather events. In our September 15 issue we highlighted a study that argued that El Niño's influence on weather patterns is a net benefit to the U.S. economy. A new study in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (October 1999), by Roger Pielke with the National Center for Atmospheric Research and Christopher Landsea of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, gives further evidence that El Niño is a beneficial phenomenon.
The study looked at how hurricane activity was affected by the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) from 1925 to 1997. The authors found that most of the recent hurricane damage occurred during periods of transition between El Niño and La Niña. El Niño periods, however, experienced fewer damaging hurricanes than both the transition periods and periods of La Niña. "The average damage per storm of El Niño years is $800 million versus $1,600 million in La Niña years," said the authors.
Green activists argued during the most recent El Niño that global warming would lead to more frequent and more intense El Niños that would have all sorts of adverse climatic consequences. Even if the Greens are correct about the link between global warming and El Niño (there's no evidence of a link in the scientific literature), they are wrong that it will be harmful. The evidence shows that El Niño is a good thing.
Sinking Carbon: Literally
The use of carbon sinks has been hotly debated, with Green activists, who don't want anything to interfere with the elimination of fossil fuels, being opposed to their use, and industry in favor of their use. The evidence is clear, however, that there is great potential in the use of carbon sinks, if removing CO2 from the atmosphere is the sort of thing one would like to do.
According to researchers at Kansas State University, one of the greatest potential carbon sinks is the prairie soils of America's breadbasket. They argue that "Changes in farming techniques – such as not plowing the soil and adjusting crop rotations so that land is left fallow for shorter periods – can keep the carbon locked up in the soil for hundreds, if not thousands of years" (The Sunday Gazette Mail (Charleston, W.Va.), November 7, 1999).
Climate Science Position Statement from Germany
The German Meteorological Society has issued a position statement on the current state of climate science. The statement notes many of the shortcomings of current climate models, arguing that "It is therefore scientifically proven without a doubt that radiation fluxes in the system Earth/Atmosphere are changed through the increase of climate-relevant trace gases. Without consideration of feedback effects in the complicated climate system, this would certainly lead to a warming of the surface and troposphere. The real, scientifically challenging debate deals with the question to what extent the different feedback processes strengthen or diminish the warming from radiative forcing" (translation courtesy of Fred Singer). For further details see The Week that Was, November 6, 1999 at www.sepp.org.
- The news media and Green pressure groups continue to produce reams of misinformation about global warming. The Union of Concerned Scientists, for instance, has produced a new report claiming that global warming will lead to droughts, fires, storm surges, beach erosion, and an "abundance of disease carrying animals," in California. Green pressure groups continue to produce "regional effects" reports even though scientists admit that computer climate models cannot predict regional effects.
A news story on ABCNews.com (November 9, 1999) claims that many scientists believe that global warming will cause stronger droughts and floods, storms and hurricanes, more harmful insects such as killer bees, fire ants, Formosan termites, yellow jackets, disease carrying mosquitoes, mass extinctions, a localized ice-age in Europe, and so on.
What is the solution? According to Steven Schneider, professor of biological sciences at Stanford University, we should replace coal with cleaner fuels and fuel cells should replace internal combustion engines. That's funny, but wasn't that his solution to global cooling?

Brian France, NASCAR's chairman and chief executive officer, promised "robust discussion'' about the 2015 Sprint Cup schedule. France wants to look for ways to lessen the chance of weather disruptions while giving NBC, a new broadcasting partner, an attractive package for its 20 races.
Texas Motor Speedway will be an outsider in those talks.
TMS president Eddie Gossage said there have been discussions with NASCAR about the schedule. TMS would like to avoid going against the opening of deer season, as has recently been the case for its fall race. The AAA Texas 500 on Nov. 2 will also compete against a Formula One race at Circuit of the Americas in Austin.
Gossage expects more of the same when the NASCAR schedule is finalized in September: the seventh race of the season in April and the eighth race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup in November. He also has a handshake agreement with IndyCar chief executive officer Mark Miles for the Verizon series to return on June 6, 2015, for a night race.
"We keep hearing rumors of possible seismic changes next year, but I'm not aware of anything that would affect Texas Motor Speedway,'' Gossage said. "We've certainly talked about the opening of deer season in Texas and the importance of options to that date, so NASCAR is well aware of its impact.
"They have local issues to balance in every market. I think they would like to accommodate a change there if possible, but I haven't heard of any that might occur. If they could help us, I'm sure they would.''
If NASCAR were truly feeling benevolent, it would let TMS stage the season-ending race, a winner-take-all event in the new Chase format. Gossage and TMS could elevate what has become an out-of-the-way event into a grand happening in a major media market.
It will be a cold day in Miami before TMS gets that chance.
France indicated the season will continue to end at Homestead-Miami Speedway. NASCAR's championship event barely causes a ripple on the South Florida scene, but that is not the only consideration.
International Speedway Corp., a sister operation to NASCAR, owns Homestead-Miami. If the schedule is shuffled, ISC will not be left hanging. It already has the season opener at historic Daytona International Speedway and the final pre-Chase race at Richmond International Raceway.
"There's nothing to preclude a directional change down the road,'' France said. "But historically, we've liked South Florida.''
France ticked off the reasons. Great fall weather. What he said is a good market, something no other sporting operation would claim. A 1½-mile track that, according to France, is the best on the circuit for the drivers.
"They can really race hard and compete,'' France said. "It's a very important thing. When you factor all those things in, we're going to be in Homestead for the foreseeable future.''
ISC owns six of the 10 tracks that have Chase races. Bruton Smith's Speedway Motorsports Inc. has three Chase tracks: New Hampshire, Charlotte and TMS. Those tracks can swap dates with each other, but there has been no movement toward that in the SMI operation.
Gossage said he expects to soon complete work on the details and sign the sanction agreement that will bring back IndyCar for another year. The switch in leadership to Miles has triggered an era of good feelings between IndyCar and TMS.
"It's a pleasure doing business with him,'' Gossage said.
IndyCar has shown an increased appreciation for the importance of TMS to its series, which has lost substantial ground to NASCAR. This will be the 18th consecutive season with an IndyCar race at TMS. The series has a longer relationship with only one track: Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Georgia's Republican senators reached across the aisle to sit with Democrats at Tuesday's State of the Union speech. But the political divide remained in their thoughts on policies introduced by President Barack Obama in the speech."I am disappointed that the president has proposed what amounts to a new stimulus plan under another name," U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss said. "We all remember the last economic stimulus plan — nearly $1 trillion committed to 'shovel-ready' projects, most of which never came to pass. And unemployment in Georgia has actually increased since then. We don't need a new stimulus at a time when Americans are worried about overspending and our nation's financial future. "Creating jobs means getting America's fiscal house in order, not spending even more taxpayer money we don't have." Both Chambliss and fellow U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson said voters spoke with November's election about reining in spending. "I'm disappointed the president is politically cherry-picking budget items to take off the table, such as Social Security," Isakson said. "I think we have to take the Debt Commission and their recommendation in its totality and debate all of it. There are parts that I don't like and there may be parts that the president doesn't like but we have a comprehensive problem that requires a comprehensive solution. Everything should be on the table. U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall, a Republican from Lawrenceville, said he wants to see action, not just hear promises. "America must first fix its economy and the best way to do that is to reform our spending habits. I think the president knows this, but I believe that only time will tell whether or not the President will deliver on tonight's rhetoric," he said. "President Obama set a lot of things on the table (Tuesday), including a spending freeze and an earmark ban. We have heard good speeches from him before about creating jobs and building infrastructure — but these speeches ended in massive spending bills and the president's infamous health care plan. Moving forward, I hope the president will live up to the show of bipartisanship displayed on the House Floor ... and will actively work with Republican leadership to provide viable fiscal solutions for this nation." Democrat Hank Johnson, whose district includes a portion of Gwinnett, was more impressed. "I share the president's vision of an America that invests in its people by providing access to education and health care needed to lead the world in productivity and innovation. And I share the president's call for investments in cutting-edge 21st century infrastructure and clean energy," he said. "There is no doubt that the economy we preside over today is better than the one we inherited. An economy that was shrinking is growing again. Instead of rapid job loss, more than a million private sector jobs were created last year. But we know we must do more to ensure that America and its workers can compete and win in the 21st century."
