Around the League - Mar 4, 2010
Jason Gregor
March 04 2010 11:29PM
My apologies for the tardiness of Around The League, but today I had a chance to lace up the skates and play along side my favourite hockey player; Glenn Anderson.
Growing up on the farm outside New Sarepta, mixed in with a few years in Leduc, before moving back to the farm, I became a fan of Anderson. My brother's favourite player was Mark Messier, and everyone loved Wayne Gretzky, but Anderson's reckless attitude, ridiculous balance and his ability to score the big goal made him my childhood favourite.
The first time I interviewed Anderson on my show, was the only time I can remember being really nervous about an interview. In 2003, I did my show from the Palms Hotel in Vegas for the Playboy Extreme Sports weekend, and I had playmate of the year Jennifer Walcott and 12 other playmates on my show, and I wasn't that nervous. More aroused, but not nervous. That story comes across better in audio, so I'll get into that in a few weeks.
But today was one of the most memorable moments of my career. Anderson along with other NHL Alumni, Dave Lumley, Ron Low, Norm Lacombe, Brian Benning, Nathan Dempsey and Rob Brown skated at WEM today for the kick off of the Scotiabank ProAm for Alzheimers.
Anderson, Lacombe and Dempsey were on our team and I got to start the game playing centre with Lacombe on my right side. Norm is a great guy, who I've met many times over the years, and the guy is still in great shape, and has a heavy shot.
In warm up we were standing at the blueline and he starts telling me about the first time he got to play with Anderson and Messier.
"Slats comes up to me in the morning and tells me I'm playing with those two and to just go up and down my wing and go to the net. I'm pretty excited, but when the game starts I'm really nervous. The first period I don't think I crossed to the other side of the ice. Midway through the second period I start to feel a bit more comfortable and those guys tell me to start criss-crossing when we break out."
"The next shift we break out of our zone and I cross to the right side, and I run right in Glenn. I rocked him good. He goes down, and I'm thinking 'oh my God, I just killed Anderson,' I look down, he looks up and me and starts laughing. After the shift I'm sitting on the bench and Slats leans down and says, 'Norm I'm gonna put you back on your regular line. Good work."
Norm chuckles after telling me the story, and I'm laughing on the outside, but I'm thinking to myself, I better keep my head up when we break out of our zone. Lacombe is still built like a brick shit house, and I don't want to be on the receiving end of a collision.
The game is about to start and I look at Norm and tell him he'll be the shooter, and we're expecting a lot of goals from him. He looks at me straight-faced and says, "Did you look at my stats, I didn't play on the powerplay, so don't expect much."
I'm thinking to myself, are you freaking kidding me. Don't down play your ability; I want you to light it up. You played in the show; your wrists are as thick as my calves so I'm pretty sure you can shoot the puck. Of course I don't say this out loud to him.
We are only playing 30 minutes and Anderson is playing defence and for the first 10 minutes every time I'm on the ice he's either on the bench or sitting back. We get down 4-1 and you can see Anderson is a bit annoyed, so he starts carrying the puck a lot more. About time I'm thinking.
The guy can still fly, and he was only skating 70% at best. A few minutes later he comes wheeling in the zone, dekes around a few guys and fires a shot. The goalie makes the save and the rebound is right no my stick and I bury it for the open net goal. If there was an official score sheet, Anderson would have gotten an assist, ~ but really I did most of the work.~ (Editor note: use of ~s here is well played - WG)
For today's game for every goal Scotiabank donated $250 to Alzheimers. They ended up donating $5,000 which is impressive.
I potted my second goal later on to make it 8-5 for them, but in five days I doubt I'll remember that goal.
With a minute to go they were leading 10-9, and we're pressing for the tie. Luckily one of our guys was gassed so he came off and I jumped on. Rob Brown, who has ridiculous hands by the way, was dangling in our own zone, but he got robbed when he tried some sort of circus shot and just missed the net.
Anderson scoops it up and in two strides he is four strides ahead of me coming out of our zone. He carries it all the way up the ice, slowing down so we can catch up to him, and he takes it wide down the left side, obviously all the defenders go to him as he skates behind the net. I'm the trailer coming in late, and I'm wide open in the slot so I yell, "Glenn," he looks up, puts in on my tape and I whip it five-hole.
Up until that point every time I was open in the offensive zone I never said a word when he had the puck. Who the hell was I to yell for a pass from a Hall-of-Famer, and I thought he'd find me if I was really open, but on this rush I was able to blurt out that one word.
The score was irrelevant of course, but getting a tape-to-tape pass from Anderson and burying it was freaking cool. Catching a pass from Warren Moon in 2002, during a charity football game during the Grey Cup was unreal, but today was a bit sweeter.
Right after I scored, Glenn skated by with a big grin said "Nice finish" and then later on my show when he was in studio, he pointed out jokingly how he was impressed with my three goals. I think I might have blushed at that point, so thank goodness it was on radio.
I've had a chance to play shinny with current NHL guys and it was a blast, but it didn't compare to lacing them up with my favourite player of all-time.
During the interview with Glenn, I found out that there was room to put together one more team for the tournament on April 9th to 11th. Every team has to raise $25,000 to enter, which sounds like a lot, but when you divide it 15 ways, it is only about $1,700 a guy. So I told them I would organize another team. Two minutes later I got a call on air from Rob Sroka, who owns all the Smitty's in town. He donated $5,100.00 and took three spots. He also is going to raise more money in all ten of his stores. Wanye has agreed to sponsor a player as well - so everyone watch for him as he comes through your alley collecting bottles over the weekend. More on his player later too.
The event will run April 9th-11th in Edmonton and it will feature the aforementioned players along with Paul Coffey, Wendel Clark, Lanny McDonald, Craig MacTavish, Chris Joseph, Marty McSorley, Dave Hunter, Mark Napier, Kraig Neinhuis and Mike Krushelnyski and they will suit up on different teams made up of regular guys.
So if any of you want to play on our team, fire me an email, (firstname.lastname@example.com) and we'll see if we can get you in. The team that raises the most money gets the first pick of which Alumni they want on their team, and then it goes in order of most money raised. So you don't need to be a stellar player, but a good fundraiser and a good team guy.
I wonder if you had to choose between all those guys, which one you'd want on your team? The interesting thing to note is that I think the best story teller might be more fun to have than the best player.
The cool part about this weekend will be the draft night itself. It goes on Friday the 9th. Only players on teams who are playing can come. No friends, wife, girlfriends or kids; just the guys who registered to play. The draft night consists of dinner and an open bar at a secret location that won't be announced to people until that evening. This is where you get to sit and mingle with all the Alumni have a few pops and hear some great stories.
Ice women
Here we are in week 22 and I finally discover that the Nashville Liquid Ice Girls.
Everyone has different tastes and the Nashville recognizes that by ensuring they have a blonde, Maranda, a brunette, Logan and a Ginger, Sarah. Sarah plays hockey which just adds to her sexiness.
Random thoughts
Is it just me, but how weird was it to see the Oilers and Flames make a trade? I think Oiler and Flame fans are still in shock over it, and if you own a Staios jersey you are really torn. I see why Edmonton made the trade, but what was Darryl Sutter thinking. Steve Staios is a heart-and-soul player, but he'll be 35 next year and making $2.7 million. The Flames don't need more defence, they need some offence and Staios won't provide it. This deal makes no sense from a Calgary perspective.
I think the Ryan Whitney/Lubomir Visnvosky trade is okay at best. I know the Oilers get younger, bigger and cheaper, but they also add a player who comes with a reputation of being soft. The Oilers have too many of those players. I spoke with an NHL scout today who said, "Whitney has loads of talent and he can control a game, but too often he is soft." If he can learn to play with a little more willingness to engage then the deal could look good for Steve Tambellini. That is a big if, and my concern is that we've been told the culture of this team needs to change, and be more aggressive, assertive and mentally competitive, yet they added Whitney. Strange.
Does Mike Gillis honestly think that Yan Stastny and Andrew Alberts will make his team better? A team's window to win isn't that big and I think the Canucks needed to do more to give them a chance to compete with Chicago and San Jose. The Canucks might win one round, but I can't see them winning two. If I was a Canuck fan I'd be a tad annoyed at Gillis' underwhelming moves.
The Phoenix Coyotes made seven moves, and added five players to their roster. On paper it looks like they should improve. Their PP stinks at 29th spot, and Wojtek Wolski, Derek Morris and Mathieu Schneider should help in that department, but the Coyotes win with solid defence and none of those guys are that good in their own zone. Dave Tippett, who should win coach of the year, can cement that if he gets those three to be decent defenders.
The San Jose Sharks didn't do anything, but I wonder if Doug Wilson felt that having Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley and Dan Boyle on the gold medal team was enough to get those guys to understand what it takes to win. At least for Marleau and Thornton. I think the experience will give the Sharks a much-needed boost of mental toughness.
I can't see Calgary beating out two of Nashville, Detroit and Anaheim to make the playoffs. If Darryl Sutter keeps his job after they miss the playoffs I'd be more stunned. They don't have a 1st or 2nd rounder this year, they're getting older and he doesn't have any offensive depth in the organization. How can he keep his job if they miss the playoffs?
Is Wolski the first significant player to wear #86? I can't recall another one, and he made quite the impression scoring the winner with 23 seconds left against his former team.

Quote of the week
My producer Meg Morrison gets married on Saturday and today was her last shift before taking the plunge. We have been jokingly giving her tips on how to be a great wife. Some of you have sent in some hilarious emails about it, but today in studio Robin Brownlee, who is married floored me.
He looked at Meg and said, "The difference between being a single girl and a married one is having a hand on the back of your head". I sat in awed silence.
March 04 2010, 11:33PM
... how did meg take that quote!?
March 04 2010, 11:43PM
"I had a chance to lace up the skates and play along side my favourite hockey player; Glenn Anderson."
Great article Gregor. Loved the Anderson story, sounded like a blast. And I agree on the Flames, they look to be in a lot of trouble moving forward.
March 05 2010, 12:26AM
HAHAHAHA. That Brownlee quote is amazing. Who knew there was such a sense of humor buried beneth all that crust?
That Glenn Anderson story was awesome. Can you win draws? Maybe you should get on the line with Tambo and see if you guys can hammer out a deal.
And finally, WENDEL CLARK? Oh man just to be in the same room as that guy would be amazing. You think he'll try and take Cujo's head off again in this tourney?
Pretty interesting that three of the worst plus/minus guys wear or have worn Oilers sweaters. And by interesting I mean PAIN OH GOD
You lucky bast*rd....Andy was my fav too back in those days...wishing I could lace em up along side him
Hey Gregor does Stockwell Day know you borrowed his jet ski!
March 05 2010, 07:41AM
Gregor, after showing some nice finish around the net for your hat trick goal...did you at least do an Ovechkin/Laraque glass jump in the corner?
Way cool story BTW.
Hey Gregor - your link is NFG.
I would love to try & make the cut for your team, but I will be in Hawaii for that week. #doh
I will donate some money though!
March 05 2010, 07:47AM
How much did she end up losing? Pretty pathetic that two guys that way a combined 500 pounds only lose 3.5 pounds.
And wow to Brownlee's comment, didn't know he had it in him. Is there glass separated Meg from you guys?
While I don't know if we got fair value for Lubo, I think it was a decent deal and I really want to wait to see what else Tambo does before I start giving him the gears for moving players. After all wasn't the common thought that he had to make trades and make this his team? Let him make his team and we can blast him if it doesn't turn out.
I see league executives are mad at the Coyotes, but considering the assistant GM from Phoenix(who's name I forgot) came on your show and said they had the money all year, shouldn't the coyotes be praised? Sounds like pretty good contol of money by the Coyotes. Are league executives going to be made if the Coyotes sign a UFA that makes more then 2mil?
March 05 2010, 07:49AM
Also on your experience that you had with Moon in the past and then Anderson yesterday, why don't the Oil and Eskimos do the carnival of champions anymore? As a kid that was one of my foundest memories of meeting players, that and meeting Bucky every year at K-Days at the horse track. The guy always had a shinner.
Jennifer Walcott should have one PMOY that year, but she lost to Dalene Curtis. I am quite sure because I am still bitter.
From your story I'm getting that girls aren't allowed to play on these teams eh? Well that just sucks! We like meeting hockey heroes as well ya know!
Great story though! A great pass for a hat trick is way better then him running you over, which I think he did to Smytty when he was younger and his hero was Glenny as well!
and I agree with OBJ, I really wish they'd bring back the Carnival of Champions! I loved going to that every year! What awesome fun that was!
There's a video of Jason's day with Glenn Anderson over at the Journal's home page. Pretty cool.
'Grat's on the hattrick, Gregor. Great story; made me feel like I was on the ice with you.
I'm with you on Gillis and Sutter; Sutter especially should be nervous if his boys don't catch some lightning in a bottle.
And don't even get me started on Whitney. If the 'no-changing-goats' rule didn't exist, I'd have a new one already. To be fair, it's not all his fault; some of my animosity toward him is actually directed at Tambellini, but he's going to have to be a lot better than I expect to be perceived by the masses as earning $4M per season in the City of Champions.
Oh man that is a classic quote from Brownlee. And it is soo true! My wife doesn't mind me holding her long hair..ahem...out of the way...but she gets annoyed at the push down. I don't remember her getting annoyed at that when we were dating.
I only know because of the great articles.
March 05 2010, 09:25AM
How much did she end up losing? Pretty pathetic that two guys that way a combined 500 pounds only lose 3.5 pounds. And wow to Brownlee's comment, didn't know he had it in him. Is there glass separated Meg from you guys?
She only needed to lose five pounds and she lost six...Yeah the morning guys are brutal right now. I'll be all over them.
And yes there is a glass between the main studio and where the producer/operator sits.
Neilsen said he has to July and said he can be under 200 by then. I think he meant over 300.
Is Wolski the first significant player to wear #86?
Jonathon Ferland of the 05-06 Canadiens is the only other player to wear 86 as far as I can find.
"My first year here, I said, 'Wow, this is terrible,' and progressively it's gotten worse." -- Tom Gilbert on the Edmonton Oilers
Hear hear.

"I wore a cute cowboy outfit for Halloween, chaps and all. My butt looked really good in those chaps too!"

Is this Robert Tychkowski taking an indirect shot at Brownlee?
"Pretty much everyone from the captain to the caterer were rumoured to be heading out of town, so some of the biggest surprises when the smoke cleared Thursday morning were the guys still here.
One pundit suggested there was "not a chance, none, Ethan Moreau will be here after the deadline," but here he is."
[Presumably referencing RB's article: Oilers 2010 Trade Deadline: Tambellini Found Alive]
But more importantly: Tychowski quoted OilersNation.
March 05 2010, 10:53AM
Awesome story, it must be amazing to lace them up with one of your idols.
March 05 2010, 10:54AM
From the Journal:
With the Regina Pats out of the running to make the Western Hockey League playoffs, Edmonton Oilers prospect Jordan Eberle is available to join the team. But he'll most likely head to the Springfield Falcons, the Oilers' American Hockey League affiliate, which is what he did last season when he had nine points in nine AHL games. Eberle leads the WHL in points with 97 in 52 games and is second to Kyle Beach (Spokane Chiefs) in goals with 46. In all of Canadian junior hockey, only one player, Tyler Seguin, the possible first overall pick in the June NHL entry draft, has more points than Eberle with 99.
According to Oilers twitter: Oilers lines: 27-10-12 / 19-13-91 / 67-16-46 / 28-89-78. D doing switcheroo.
Ugh, Horc back on the top line. At least I can smile by reading your awesome story Gregor.
@Word - I saw that and laughed. I assume that Brownlee and Matheson both had people in the Oilers organization telling them that Moreau was gone - Matty had stories putting him in both LA and Washington. Tychkowski's certainly not above reprinting whatever he's told by the organization - both he and Ireland curiously arrived at the somewhat stunning conclusion that Grebs wouldn't have been qualified.
Tychkowski took some shots at Staples last year about covering the Oilers from home when Staples reported that Jagr might be coming here and that Smid wanted out. The Jagr thing was later confirmed to be true and there's a lot of smoke about the Smid thing as well. He might want to try actually breaking some news some time - he's basically a stenographer.
March 05 2010, 11:02AM
didn't tychkowski write a going away article as well? Seemed like just about everyone did.

I dunno.
In watching Horcoff the last five games or so he is starting to look a little like the player that we signed to that contract. I am curious if he continues his trend away from the green jacket.

~Looks like Sam has become a utility center.~
At least Cogs is getting some really linemates. And where is the captain ethan moreau?
didn't tychkowski write a going away article as well? Seemed like just about everyone did.
If he didn't publish it, you know he had one fully written and sitting in his back pocket.
The more I think about it, I'm not sure if Tychkowski was trying to take a shot, or was simply pouting that he tried to ride Brownlees coat-tails and it didn't work out for him.
Then again, I should probably refrain from thinking in general.
I want to believe, but sadly the Olympics are over and that statement doesn't apply to Horcoff for me.
@David S
~Totally, it's the best role for him~

I don't see it as a shot. I was sure Moreau was gone, based on what I'd heard and I made a bold statement, as I'm prone to do. I was wrong.
Give Rob T credit for knowing Oilersnation is the best place to come to get the stuff he's been missing.
March 05 2010, 01:21PM
@Robin Brownlee
Give Rob T credit for knowing Oilersnation is the best place to come to get the stuff he's been missing.
Now that was a shot.

lol. Yup.
Norm Lacombe IS a great guy. I had the pleasure of learning some training tips from him through his HIT (Hockey Impact Training) program around 95/96 or so. Also had the pleasure of spending the night at his place. His wife and kids were quite nice from what I can recall. What is/was the ol' gym downtown... the one Scotty the Bulldog always trained out of? We spent a few days there. Thats back when the dream was alive and well, lol. I think I actually had maybe the best year of my ~esteemed~ career after that summer in Bantam AAA. Good times!

Essence of Vietnam, January 2017
Christine Woosley
This tour is diverse and great value. It is quite demanding because the days are long in order to fit in the activities and there is very little downtime. There are 2 internal flights on the tour. The hotels were comfortable and well - positioned if you wanted to do personal sightseeing. The boat trip on Ha Long Bay was a highlight for me. And the food was delicious!

Very cute but defective
"Loved these sandals until the stretchy elastic broke on one side of the buckle. They didn't even last one summer! I expected better quality from B.O.C. but I've paid much less for no-name sandals that have lasted for years.If I hadn't had them more than 60 days, I would try taking them back as defective merchandise, but they don't have my size anymore anyways."

Love them!!
"I rarely wear heels because I never find that they are comfortable. Either I get blisters, or the balls of my feet hurt, or I have a hard time walking in them. However, these shoes are AMAZING!! They have a heel but are somehow easy to walk around in New York in all day; they haven't given me a single blister, and they look super cute. Whenever my friends and I go out, I always wear these and by the end of the night, when their feet are killing them, I'm still feeling great. Highly recommended!!"

Good quality
"Good looking shoe, however the straps are loose except for the buckle one. Therefore my foot kept sliding forward which then my arch did nit sit on the padded arch in the shoe. Might work for someone else if your foot is wider. Good quality though. That is why I will recommend the shoe. Probably would be more comfortable if the straps were tighter and kept my foot in place."

What do you do when you can't have any more fun? That's right—you ruin it for everyone.
Now we know that the Oil lasted until the 81st game of the year before they were eliminated from the playoffs. We know there's one more game left this season, and that most of the Oilers are about to be recruited to world championship teams and will soon be dispersing for the summer.
But before they roll out of town there's one last thing they need to do tonight to put an exclamation point on the comeback-that-almost-was 2007–08: Beat Vancouver and put a big ol' wrench in their playoff plans. We would love nothing more than:
- The Sedin sisters to marry the Olsen twins (doesn't matter who marries who) and give birth to the Sedinian-Olsen Octoplets. So many little sets of booties...
- The Canucks to lose tonight, and be forced to the sidelines for another long summer in VanCity.
- The '80s super group Wham to reunite and bring their harmless bubble gum pop sound into 2008.
These are our wishes, they don't have to all occur tonight. Just #2.

It has been widely speculated by smart folks like those at PunjabiOil that this could be Geoff Sanderson's last game in the NHL. He has been on the shelf with "back spasms" for the past few games. We know the Oil will do the right thing and let the elder statesman finish his career on his skates where he belongs instead of high in the press box.
Geoff Sanderson was a wicked player in NHL 94 when he played for the Whalers. Hard to believe he is still in the league 14 years later.
Well done Geoff, hope you don't retire but if you do - cheers!
Misery was a sweet movie. I love it when Kathy Bates smashes the guys ankle.
I wish she could give Luongo the old smasheroo

She was born in Newark in 1953. Her father was an immigrant butcher from a small town outside Naples, Italy. Her mother was an office worker and substitute teacher.
She attended public schools in Nutley where by all accounts she received a great public education and was well prepared to take on the rigors of higher education at Montclair State College and Rutgers Law School.
But Barbara Buono wasn't prepared to lose her father when she was just 19 years old.
Still, the values her father and her mother instilled in her—perseverance and self-sacrifice—sustained her as she put herself through college, and later law school.
Those values sustained her through periods of unemployment, and when she had no choice but to accept food stamps. Without health insurance, she depended on organizations such as Planned Parenthood for routine health check-ups.
Yet today she is a New Jersey senator running for governor of New Jersey.
Sen. Barbara Buono is an example of what can happen in America—and particularly in New Jersey—when hard work meets opportunity.
Today, somewhere in New Jersey, there is surely another teenaged girl who, like Barbara Buono, is learning the value of hard work, perseverance, and self-sacrifice. Those values, no doubt, will sustain her throughout her life despite the challenges and misfortunes that will come her way.
But whether today's young men and women will have the opportunity to achieve their dreams is precisely why Barbara Buono wants to be the next governor.
When telling her story, Barbara Buono is quick to note that it wasn't only her parents' strong values that put her through college. It wasn't only the great education she received at Washington Elementary and Nutley High schools.
With that strong foundation, she and the students of her generation were also the beneficiaries of accessible federal and state-sponsored grants, scholarships, and loans. They were the beneficiaries of well-subsidized institutions of public higher education that could in turn charge an affordable tuition.
And they were the beneficiaries of a culture that valued education and the men and women who devoted their lives to teaching and serving children.
As Barbara Buono said herself at a meeting with over 800 NJEA local and county association leaders, "I am who I am because of this state. I am standing here because of hard work and opportunity."
But under Gov. Chris Christie we are told that education and public investment are too expensive and that teachers, educational support professionals—indeed all public employees—are to blame.
To deflect attention from his own poor record—cutting over $1 billion from public education his first year in office, the region's highest unemployment rate and slowest job growth—this "tough talking" governor demeans the very people that Barbara Buono's generation were raised to emulate: teachers, school support staff, police officers, firefighters, and other public servants.
In Christie's world view, teachers use children as "drug mules," union workers are "greedy," and promises such as, "Nothing about your pension is going to change when I am governor," are merely campaign promises that are callously broken after the votes are tallied.
A Buono administration would be a breath of fresh air. Esteem for working men and women—including those who work in our schools—would return. The needs of the middle class and the vulnerable would once again be on the agenda.
In Barbara Buono we finally will have a governor who will fully fund schools under the funding formula she sponsored as a senator in 2008. She'll make sure children get the start they need with quality pre-school and full-day kindergarten.
Collective bargaining will be given the respect it deserves—a value Barbara Buono championed when she opposed the governor and even some leaders in her own party, as they passed Chapter 78 into law and diminished bargaining rights and reduced your take-home pay. That stand cost Barbara Buono her position as Senate Majority Leader. But she'd "do it all over again, because it was the right thing to do," she said.
Through her personal story and her stands in public life, Barbara Buono has shown that she understands the struggles of the everyday residents of New Jersey. She is a smart, determined leader who never gives up.
(This editorial appears in the October 2013 issue of the NJEA Reporter.)

Greetings to all!
I am new to this forum, but I am a seasoned veteran of Model Railroading forums. It occurred to me just the other day while erecting tree #1 (we do three) that there must be a forum for folks like myself (the Christmasly insane) to chat, share ideas and post photos of their Holiday Decorations so here I am.

We Are Spanish
Dear Alibi,
I write to express my disagreement and disappointment with Estevan Rael-Gálvez of the National Hispanic Cultural Center regarding comments he made in Joseph Baca's interview with him [Feature, "The Accidental Historian," Aug. 19-25]. Specifically, I am astounded (although not surprised) to know that someone in Rael-Gálvez's position, as director of a center supposedly dedicated to preserving Hispanic culture, would say that the Spanish heritage of New Mexico is "fantasy" and "somewhat of a fabrication." If this is actually what Rael-Gálvez believes then I can only say that this guy should be fired because he is doing the Hispano people of New Mexico a great disservice of trying to suppress our history. Any historian knows that New Mexico was settled by the Spanish beginning in 1598 and that the Hispanos of today are the descendants of those Spanish families. This is not only historical fact but the Spanish culture is alive and well in New Mexico today, in the Hispano people of our state, our communities, our traditions, our values, language, customs, in our state of mind and cultural consciousness.
Rael-Gálvez, as NHCC director, is unfortunately in a position to try and influence people but he cannot change history and he certainly will not succeed in denying the Hispano people of New Mexico our heritage and history. The only fantasy and fabrication I got from the interview with him were with his beliefs, which go against the historical record, both written and oral. I suppose Rael-Gálvez also believes the pilgrims were from Germany rather than England or that John Adams was the first president of the United States and not George Washington. It is truly unfortunate that the director of the NHCC is someone who tries to deny the history of his own people. But this type of thing has happened before with other cultures having a sort of propagandist who tries to change a people's history for whatever reasons they may have. Despite his academic credentials, Rael-Gálvez proves that having a bunch of college degrees does not automatically equate intelligence or sound reasoning. It seems the NHCC truly has left the fox in charge of the hen house.

Advancing Leyenda Negra , Pushing Anti-Spanish Themes, Denigrating Catholicism—All in a Day's Work
Dear Alibi,
Was anyone else as dismayed by the recent Alibi interview of National Hispanic Cultural Center Executive Director Estevan Rael-Gálvez as I was [Feature, "The Accidental Historian," Aug. 19-25]? Really? It is if Fray Angelico Chavez had never lived! A "mere" two centuries of Spanish occupation? 1598 to 1846, a mere blink of the eye! One must take into account that the Alibi is politically and culturally left-leaning, i.e., it misses no opportunity to advance Leyenda Negra, anti-Spanish themes and denigrate Catholicism. But I would have thought the Executive Director of the NHCC would have done his part to set some of the historical inaccuracies about the Spanish heritage of New Mexico straight. I was mistaken.
Now one of the straw men advanced by certain people is that some New Mexico Hispanos claim to be of "pure Spanish blood" (whatever that may mean). There is no doubt we carry the genes of our Native American "abuelitas." I am very proud of them.
No, we are not European but neither is a Yankee New Englander British. Why is [it] perfectly acceptable for them to acknowledge their English heritage but we are not allowed to acknowledge and claim our Spanish heritage?
My ancestors were Catholic in culture and religion—Hispanos, whose roots and heritage were deeply embedded in the Iberian Peninsula. There is no shame in that. We do not have to deny that nor claim that we are of "pure Spanish blood" to acknowledge and accept that.
Does anyone expect better from the executive director of the NHCC? I think I do.
Samuel Dominguez
Interviewer Joseph Baca responds: Both letters decrying Dr. Rael-Gálvez' statement ignore that his viewpoint is based on years of research as state historian, not just his opinion as head of the NHCC. At no point in the interview did Rael-Gálvez deny the heritage of New Mexico Hispanos. It is important for readers to know that this excerpt was part of a much longer interview that occurred over days, in which he noted explicitly that Spain was critical to our understanding of New Mexico, but it was only a part of what shaped our heritage—and only a part. The larger point made by Rael-Gálvez was that identity is extremely complex, an inclusion of all histories, a "converging streams," as he says, and not an elitist notion of a Shangri-La-like Spanish homeland.
A Rainbow of Vandalism
Dear Alibi,
Regarding Patricia Sauthoff's article and interview with the alleged "rainbow artist" [Arts Feature, "Rainbow Warrior," Aug. 12-18]: Is it art or vandalism? It doesn't matter if it's art. If it is permanently painted on someone else's property, private or public, and without the owner's permission, it's vandalism. No excuses. It's vandalism.
That the city should indeed be paying more attention to other cleanup jobs or other crimes is irrelevant and a spurious argument. If it's on somebody else's property without permission, it's still vandalism.
It doesn't matter that the (in my opinion) pathetic monstrosity at Sixth Street and Central is abandoned, and taken over by the city. The property still belongs to someone else who did not give permission to have this done to it, therefore it is vandalism.
The wall at Union Square and Central, on the other hand, is part of a building that is not abandoned and is private property. And the wall seems to be made of well-kept vintage brick. Now it's ruined. That is vandalism.
And, just for the discussion, are these rainbow paintings art? One of the definitions of kitsch is something which puts itself forward as art by attempting to generate a positive emotional response it does not deserve. I believe these rainbow paintings could fit that definition. Actually, they look like advertising for a house paint manufacturer, or maybe illustrations for a greeting card. By the way, art must also be well-crafted. At Union Square and Central it is sloppy and spattered down below.
Besides, even if this person had painted on these walls a Sistine-caliber art work, if it's on someone else's property without permission, it's still vandalism.
The real challenge to an artist would be to have displayed the rainbow without damaging the property in any way. Perhaps unfurling wide weighted ribbons or something, which could quite easily be removed. Of course, then we still have to address the fact that getting up on the roof without permission is trespassing.
The Fractal Foundation has put up rather large banners (that are easily removed) of interesting and colorful artwork by students and others on the sides of buildings with full permission. Why can't this person? Involving students, it would then be a welcome creative service to others.
I think the thing I dislike most is this person's dewy-eyed self- justifications. There are lots of ways for any artist to offer good feelings and creativity and beauty to others that do not include vandalism. The same sort of justifications are used by the graffiti taggers. Occasionally some of that is quite good, although most of it is terrible. But once again, it doesn't matter if it's good or not. If it's on someone else's property without permission, it is vandalism.
Peter Grahame
Double Rainbow, Oh My God
Dear Alibi,
[Re: Arts Feature, "Rainbow Warrior," Aug. 12-18] Yes, Yes, YES! In one elegant gesture the Rainbow Warrior illustrates, celebrates and personifies two of our world's, no, our universe's, basic elements: gravity and light. Bravo to whoever created them. Additionally the rainbow streaks bring joyful color and thoughtful contrast to slabs of otherwise nondescript, derelict buildings. If the U.S. Supreme Court can deem the burning of our American flag to be an expression of free speech and, therefore, protected under the Constitution itself, how could this be any less? Instead of protest it celebrates, instead of a violent expression it is a positive message and improves the urban landscape. Really! Shouldn't the First Amendment apply equally to protesters and artists alike? If I were to sit on a jury judging the individual responsible, I don't believe there could be any evidence to dissuade me from my view.
Lew Critchfield
Rainbow Branding Albuquerque
Dear Alibi,
[Letters, "Responses to Last Week's ' Rainbow Warrior' Arts Feature," Aug. 19-25] Alright, the city should fine the artist for not getting a permit, then turn around, hire him, buy the paint and let him at the other eyesores. This could be a great signature for Albuquerque!
Comment from alibi.com
Dear Alibi,
[Re: News, "Blueprint for a Dream," Aug. 12-18] This story isn't about drug cartels, lawsuits or putting hits on government officials. How do you hold a 7-year-old accountable to "breaking the law" being brought to this country and staying? The Dream Act is NOT a way for all the people that commit or bring crime into this country to gain citizenship. If for STUDENTS with good character and a good record to have a chance to live the American Dream in the only country they know and love. What kind of crime is Maria, a graduate student, committing by trying to excel in her field of choice and be willing to contribute to our economy? Doesn't the U.S. already grant legal residency and citizenship to well-educated immigrants that come from all over the world and contribute to our economy already? What is the difference here? Is it the fact that Maria isn't from France, India or China? Is it that she is a Mexican and this country has grown to hate "fence hoppers"?

Ben Fowler is making big strides this summer — ones that he hopes — can lead to a promising fall.
The Harrisburg High School sophomore to be has spent his summer playing the Accelerated Golf Tour, aimed at college and advanced high school players. Last week, Fowler bested the field at Whitmoor Country Club in St. Charles, Mo., by firing a 73-76-149.
Fowler won by four strokes, taking out Ryan Keller of St. Charles and finishing five strokes better than Nashville's Chance Reuter who finished in third place.
Whitmoor County Club played 6,800 yards long for Fowler, whose success came with the flat stick and not the driver.
"I've been working really hard on my putting. I really feel like I have more confidence than ever," he said.
Fowler added his summer spent on the Accelerated Tour has been nurturing for the Bulldogs' rising star and at the same time, very challenging.
"My victory in Whitmoor was great for me," Fowler said. "It taught me I can play with the 'better' players. Winning is everything for me, I love to win. You feel like you are on top of the world."
Fowler broke his record for a best 18-hole round with a 73 on Day 1 at Whitmoor, but then followed that up with a 66 at Friday's Fowler-Bonan Foundation 'Clothes For Kids' Junior Golf Tournament at Shawnee Hills Country Club.
Fowler competes this week playing in the PGA Junior Series at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., and then back on the Accelerated Tour at Norwood County Club in St. Louis.

Skip to comments.Unemployment expected to rise in final pre-election jobs report
Posted on 11/01/2012 3:59:57 PM PDT by Perdogg
The U.S. Labor Department is expected to report Friday the U.S. economy added 125,000 jobs in October and unemployment increased to 7.9 percent.
Hurricane Sandy should little affect these estimates as employer and household surveys were conducted earlier in the month. Going forward, the hurricane will depress employment but only until

October Suprise...
It's a set-up. UE3 will come in at 7.5% based on Gallup's mid-month survey.
sure. A department influenced by Obama donors will put out numbers that reflect poorly on Dear Leader.
No, because even ADP said 158k. BLS is usually in the range og 80% of ADP or in case around 130k.
So you think this is real and it'll increase one tenth?
I hate rooting for a bad number but in reality it's not the real number anyway so I'm all for 7.9 tomorrow.
Wait a second, I just read the thread below where Gallup says UE is going to fall. I am so confused.
Most of the gains in the last report were caused by revisions in the previous months.
Boy you're asking the wrong person when it comes to all these stats on the job market..lol
Sorry. Perdogg?
The last 9 months job growth has had absolutely nothing to do with a declining UE3.
Seems like a setup for "beat expectations" meme if it goes down, or "no big deal, was expected" if it goes up.

The economy continued its strong recovery under the leadership of President Obama as Republicans attempted to downplay the irrefutable evidence leading into election week
If the regime is letting it be released, the number will serve them.
Lately I have read about numerous large companies laying off thousands....maybe they haven't figured in yet.
Agreed, its a game of expectations. It's happened before as well, so I would not be the least bit surprised if it is good news. I am not a hand wringer, well maybe I am, but I am sick of the media manipulating public perception like this.
If in fact it DOES come out bad for Obama, I'll eat my hat.
My hunch is we will get another steep drop in the rate as well. Rest assured it will go back up after the election.
I think we are going back up to 8 percent, and it might just be the final nail in the Obama political coffin.
Getting honest numbers out of this administration is impossible.
If Obama gets bad numbers I'll help you eat your hat.
I'm looking for 6.9%. If Romney wins it'll be 26% in February.
the media effect is strong. I expect any change to be spun as a positive for Obama. The rate will have a serious correction coming up soon and it won't matter.
I hope it goes up, for if it goes down, we will hear another four days of "And the economy is now better than when Obama took office...."
IF the report is dim, along with people being shown on TV upset about the lack of power and water in their area thanks to Hurricane Sandy, the weekend will not be good for zer0. How is that photoop with fatty Christie looking now when it's all said and done people are getting ready to riot in Jersey.
Romney should comment on the jobs report if its bad.
NO WAY IN HELL that obama will allow that to happen.

Great shoe!
"I ordered a half-size larger (due to availability) and still found the fit to be a bit tight. They're loosening up a little with each wear, but I am glad I started with a shoe a little longer than I thought was right for me. The shoe is so comfortable, this is a shoe I can wear all day around the office and still have fresh feet at the end of the day. Love the contrasting brown heel, also!"

NFL Draft Report

Tannehill and Buffalo: Does it make sense?
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Apr 13 2012 11:58AM
With Peter King's latest report that the Buffalo Bills will be hosting Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill, it certainly is thought-inducing.
What can we really make of this visit?
At this time of year, some things are done and said with the truest intent. But you'll see a lot of times things are done solely to try and drum up business in an effort to try and get a player to drop to a team's specific pick.
In the matter of Tannehill visiting the Bills next week, I'm going to lay out some reasons why the franchise would and would not be interested in actually selecting him come April 26.
Reason For: Best Player Available Strategy
- All along we've heard Bills GM Buddy Nix say that they are going to take the top player on their board when it gets to their selection. The fact that Tannehill is a quarterback certainly drives up his value, but his overall raw skill-set is something you don't find every single year. ESPN's Todd McShay says he believes Tannehill has better overall tools than Matt Barkley. I'd tend to agree with that statement. It's just the overall polish and refining of his game that makes Barkley a better pro prospect at this point in time. The potential for Tannehill is certainly there, though.
Reason Against: Other Needs Require Attention
- If the Bills were to take a quarterback in the first round, it would set themselves back for trying to find potential starters at some key positions. With help needed at left tackle, wide receiver, linebacker and cornerback, taking a quarterback would take away from the level of contributor they would get at any of those other positions. Pushing the needs back might also potentially take away a would-be starter. Kelvin Sheppard stepped in nicely for the team as the season progressed, and he was a third round pick. Taking a Tannehill would take away their Sheppard-type impact player.
Reason For: Finding Fitzpatrick's Successor
- If you'll recall, Nix has said in the past that you have to take a quarterback when you've got one before you don't have one on your roster any longer. That type of plan could be the attack if the Bills were to take Tannehill. Fitzpatrick is going in to the first year of his new contract and has already been paid an option bonus on March 20, so he's not going anywhere this year. If they were to take Tannehill, they could sit him down for one season at least and have a viable plan for the future if their current quarterback doesn't take the next step. It's said that Tannehill needs a year or two of seasoning anyway, so that would play in to the decision as well.
Reason Against: Tannehill Doesn't Help Them Win Right Now
- The reasoning I just laid out is also why the move would be detrimental to what the Bills are trying to do this season. They signed Mario Williams and Mark Anderson. They've brought back Fitzpatrick, Stevie Johnson, Scott Chandler and many others. Drafting Tannehill would fly directly in the face of this sort of "win right now" approach the Bills have taken in the off-season. Bills fans are antsy for a playoff berth -- for good reason -- and it isn't exactly the biggest vote of confidence to the fan base or their freshly re-signed and well-paid quarterback if they were to take a player at his position in the first round.
Reason For: Fits Gailey's Offensive Scheme
- Tannehill has the type of arm and athleticism that will give Chan Gailey's offense a lot of versatility. He's very good at keeping plays alive with his feet and throwing on the run, making the defense adjust to his individual skill-set. If he were to be taken by the Bills, he could get the one-to-two years under his belt while working with renowned quarterback coach David Lee. Then Tannehill conceivably could be ready to come in and make the transition as seamless as possible.
Reason Against: May Need to Trade Up to Get Him
- Tannehill is by far the enigma of the draft. While the first two picks are set in stone, he is the wrench in the gears from picks 3-to-11. The Vikings (3rd overall) have said they would like to trade down, and if the Browns (4th overall) show the slightest bit of interest it could induce a team to trade up to get him. If the Bills really want him, they might have to unload some picks in order to get him. That would be an absolute detriment to what they're attempting to accomplish this season. Buddy Nix has said in the past he doesn't like to give away picks. And you most certainly have to believe it's not going to be for a player who won't help the team right away. But if Tannehill is there at 10, it's a different discussion.
The Verdict:
- While you can definitely make a compelling case for Tannehill being drafted by the Buffalo Bills, all in all it just would not add up considering the actions they've taken this off-season. The Bills think they're close. There's no other reason they would go out and get the biggest free agent signing of their franchise's history and make him the highest paid defensive player in NFL history in the process. No, I think this Tannehill visit is simply a case of the Bills attempting to drum up some interest to try and induce a team to move up to the 10th pick -- ahead of Kansas City who has shown a lot of interest -- and move down in the draft. Smokescreens are the game at this point in the pre-draft process, and the Bills are certainly ones to play.
So to answer your questions: No, I don't expect Ryan Tannehill to be drafted by the Buffalo Bills.

So So
"For I being a poor man, have only my dreams & I have spread them beneath your feet. Tread carefully, for you tread upon my dreams."
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
lol Zaraki's hair has grown like 3 feet. Super Saiya-jin level 3 hair right there.
These two need to screw & give us twin baby gods, 1 Boy & 1 Girl.
Kubo, make this a reality!
Looks like next time it's Yachiru's (the lil one) time to own Kenpachi .
Since Kubo doesn't want anyone to die, I'm guessing her bankai is a one-shot deal that revives her if killed at the cost of her powers/emotions/whatever.
I'm starting to get the feeling that the reason Kenpachi will never communicate with his spirit/zanpaktou, is because his spirit is nothing more than a pile of rabies!
Not even sentient, talking rabies. No--Literally a clump of foam on the floor of his inner world composed entirely of hundreds of millions of strands of the rabies virus...
Proud (and confused) subscriber of Shonen Jump Alpha.
Got to wonder, how did Unohana go from being Sword-Nymphomaniac to Docile Fulltime Healer with the calmest sweetest disposition in Bleach.
Was it as a way to do penance for what happened to Kenpachi (her "sin")? How or why did she become a Captain, and be so loyal to the Captain Commander? Did she ever cross swords with Yama-Jii? Did he subdue her at one point with his flames (rather than with swordsmanship)?
I think there is more to know about Unohana, and I hope Kubo keeps her around for this and other reasons.

Not Bad...I live on a high desert but had lived the first 19 years of my life by the sea shore. I must say that the smell of the product is delicious. But as to make the soft curls, especially where I live, you must help the product a bit. The first time I used it, I let my hair air dry and it just looked like a dirty mop. The second time, I let it hair dry under the sun and slept overnight without doing anyting to my hair. To my surprise the soft curls had indeed arrived. The only problem was that they were very uneven. Next time I will use a diffuser. Again, not bad....Sep 24, 2007Nydia / Albuquerque, NM

I Love My Beach Hair!I never even knew such products existed until I googled "beach hair". This spray was one of the first ones to come up so I decided to give it a try. I just used it for the first time today and I love it. My hair is fine and thin and has some wave, but the ends will dry straight and my hair just ends up looking like a damaged mess. After using this spray, my hair smells fantastic, has a nice shine in addition to the consistent loose waves that appeared. I used a diffuser to dry the roots and it had given my fine, thin hair great volume. I swear, I would wear this spray as a perfume if I didnt put it on my hair. I highly recommend this product if you want nice, soft waves but dont have naturally wavy hair.Sep 21, 2007Kathy / Columbus, Ohio

Sedu Beach BeautyI bought Sedu Beach Beauty spray because I thought it would be as good as JF ocean waves... I was wrong! Beach Beauty is far better than ocean waves. It left my hair with that beachy texture I love along with a great tropical scent. I hope they dont discontinue it like JF did with ocean waves.Sep 18, 2007Julie / Texas

Best Hair Stuff Ever!My hair is naturally poofy with too much volume, but it comes with tons of curls and frizz. So what do I do? I flat iron my hair. But ARGH! -- straightening my hair flattens all of my hairs volume, leaving it limp and boring! GRR! So what could I do?I didnt know there was a spray that I could just spritz on my hair for instant volume until I came across this product. But reading the reviews, I figured it wouldnt fit my hair type. A couple weeks later, I became even more desperate. What the heck, I said to myself. Ill try it. So I ordered one bottle of Sedu Beach Beauty Sea Salt Spray. When it came 5 days later, I flipped my hair upside down and splashed it all over my roots. The first thing I noticed was the smell. It reminded me of the beach alot. It smelled FABULOUS!I let the spray sink in for a second and then spritzed it on the tips of my hair, rubbing it in little ropes to create waves. Giving my hair a gentle shake with my hands, I checked my hair in the mirror and noticed that my hair had become wavy with lots of extra volume! My husband thought it looked very sexy. But I was a bit skeptical because I thought it wouldnt last long. So at the end of a very long day, my hair still held the waves! The next day I just randomly sprayed it over my hair and messed it up to make it look tousled. In the end, it looked FABULOUS!I am in love with my new Sedu Beach Beauty Sea Salt Spray! I will DEFINETLY continue to buy it!Sep 15, 2007Valerie / OhioHAIR TYPEDry Hair

Not The SameDont be fooled. This is not the same product as the John Frieda Beach Hair product. While this is still a nice product is does not make your hair have the beachy feel or look.Sep 14, 2007Beth

Best Beach Hair!!!I love the scent of this spray. It has a coconut and salty smell that always reminds me of a summer day at the ocean. I use it by shaking it up and spritzing it in, I then let my hair air dry, and it conditions my hair and leaves it smelling great. It leaves my hair with lots of loose waves, just as if I spent the day swimming in the ocean and let my hair dry in the sunshine and ocean air. Sometimes when I go to work I just spray some in my towel-dried hair just for the scent and then style as usual. (doesnt affect my heat styling) 5 stars all the way!Aug 30, 2007Randi / North Carolina

(finally!) Found What I Was Looking ForThis is hands down the best spray for beachy hair. I tried Bumble & Bumbles Surf Spray, and Fekkais Beach Spray, but the Sedu Sea Salt Spray is the best. Nothing else gives me big, loose waves, without stringiness. The only flaw in this product is that the waves dont hold all day for me--I have to take it along in my bag for a mid-afternoon refresher. Even so, this product deserves five stars all the way. Keep it in stock Folica!!!Aug 25, 2007Lisa

Sedu Beach Beautymy sister let me borrow her bottle of sedu beach beauty spray yesterday to test out before i bought it. i woke up this morning, shampooed/conditioned like normal. i then sprayed some in my hand, flipped my head over and scrunched the ends with it. then i pretty much sprayed it in my roots and massaged in. i took my dryer and dried my roots. i was going to let the rest air dry but my sister said it would work better if i gave my all my hair a blast of warm air. let me just tell you, i have LONG,stick straigh hair. Absolutely NO volume whatsoever...and THIS IS A FANTASTIC PRODUCT! when i was done blow drying, i looked in the mirror and it was Poofy! i looked like i had TONS of hair and it was all messy looking like i had just tumbled out of bed after a long night out with my girls partying! when i went to work i just clipped it up. it looks VERY tousled and sexy. i would reccommend this product to every flat haired girl out there! GO BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! it also smells great! i have been running my fingers through my hair and have not had any flakes.Aug 22, 2007Rachel K / Sharon, MA

Hoping for a buyout this year? Would you gladly take early or regular retirement immediately if offered a before-deductions payment of $25,000. If the answer is "yes," then good luck with that.
The odds of you being hit with a pay cut, of up to 20 percent, are greater than your chances of a buyout.
During the early years of the current recession, it was not unusual for private-sector workers to take temporary pay cuts (of a few months to a year) ranging from 5 to 20 percent. People continued to work their regular five-day shifts, but were paid less. Even unionized groups opted for the temporary pay cut rather than layoffs. Now, temporary pay cuts may be coming to the federal workforce.
Federal agencies are tight for money and these may turn out to be the good-old-days! Things are likely to get tighter before they get better. Even if politicians don't drive the government over the fiscal cliff, force it to sequester itself or continue to keep punting on their fiscal chores, things are going to get tougher in the opinion of most fed-watchers.

Buyouts will never again hit 1990s totals, when tens of thousands of people were paid to leave and agencies consolidated or contracted out functions the Clinton administration deemed "overhead".
In recent years, buyouts have been carefully targeted. They have been limited to specific jobs, grades and even geographic areas.
The only widescale use of buyouts in the past couple of years has been in the rapidly downsizing U.S. Postal Service. But even there the payouts have been much less than those available to workers at other federal agencies. The 2011-2012 time period was a good one for buyouts outside of the USPS. But time and money are not on your side this year. Two reasons:
More likely than buyouts are partial or total bans on hiring, further reductions in travel and training, furloughs and, as a last resort, limited layoffs.
Predicting the fiscal future is tough to impossible. Given the original timetables set by Congress and the White House we should, by now, have gone over the fiscal cliff, prepared for a debt-ceiling-triggered shutdown and sequestration in a matter of weeks. And the House scheduled, then cancelled, a vote on a continuation of the federal pay freeze. None of this has happened. Some or all of it could still happen.
Meantime, while the executive branch waits to see how and when the legislative branch of government will get its act in order, agencies are doing what they can to do more with less. This includes everything from freezing hiring to planning for 22 days of furloughs (one day per week in most cases) to cut costs. While a furlough is better than a layoff, it would still mean a 20 percent pay cut for the average fed.

Experimental website aims to overhaul RFP process Never again should an agency try to buy the services of an "information distribution platform designer." Never again should vendors have to write hundreds of pages to bid on a potential contract. And never again should contracting officers have to copy and paste from old and unproven request for proposals to create a new one. Ensuring these things actually never happen again are the simple goals of RFP-EZ, one of the first pilot programs delivered by the Presidential Innovation Fellows Program.
Photos of the amazing, moving, important and amusing things happening in the federal community.
A daily update of important moments in the history of the U.S. government.
