Today's Presidents' Day holiday is still officially called "Washington's Birthday" by the federal government, but it's commonly known as a celebration of all U.S. presidents. That includes some of the less remembered presidents such as Calvin Coolidge, who got his political start in western Massachusetts.
Known as "Silent Cal," Coolidge was a famously private public figure. But Amity Shlaes, author of a new biography of President Calvin Coolidge, says he was more than that.
"The caricature is that he's cold, and doesn't care about people," says Shlaes. "He cared a lot about people, he just believed the caring for people should often happen at the local level, in the church, in the town."
Born in Vermont, Coolidge garnered an impressive resume in western Massachusetts. He attended Amherst College, was a private lawyer in Northampton, and became Mayor of the city in 1910. He went on to become a Massachusetts State Senator, Lieutenant Governor, Governor, and Vice President, before becoming President in 1923. Shlaes says Coolidge was a progressive Republican – he supported Women's suffrage and courted the votes of immigrant families. But she says Coolidge, who strongly believed in local and state control of government, changed when he entered national politics.
"He was a more decidedly conservative Vice President and President than he had been as a state lawmaker here in Massachusetts."
Shlaes says Coolidge's presidency deserves more recognition. But she says Coolidge's attitudes toward federal spending have limited the resources for foundations and memorials in his name.
"One reason they're not so big is Coolidge didn't like government support. He was anxious about it. So he sort of cut off his legacy nose to spite his legacy face."
But spend enough time in Northampton, and you're bound to run into a few memorials, exhibits, and public works celebrating the quiet 30th President.

By PAUL L. YOUNGSt. George
I wonder how many of our Utah State Legislators including our State Attorney General are not aware that the State Flag of Utah is not patented nor copyrighted. This is the reason our State Flag of Utah is made out of subpar material.
No one cares or is concerned about quality control. I am flying my fifth Utah flag to one Old Glory. Utah's flag cost me $49.95 and Old Glory cost me $29.95.
My plan is to build my own State Flag of Utah. I will silk screen onto high quality nylon showing a man walking down a road with six women in each wheel track following, wearing long dresses with their hair braided hanging down their back.
When Utah was admitted into the Union we had men in high positions that were and had been practicing polygamy for years. In bold letters across the top, "State Flag of Utah."
I intend to fly it from my own flag pole, or perhaps I should apply for the patent and copyright to our present day flag and establish my own flag manufacturing and selling our State Flag Utah.

Try egg substitutes, and you'll be in for a pleasant surprise. They can replace whole eggs in nearly any breakfast dish without a loss of flavor or texture. If you are watching your cholesterol, they make a tasty alternative to eggs!

Courses Offered:
IDCE 388: Vector Analysis
IDCE 371: Digital Image Processing
IDCE396: Advanced Topics in GIS
Professor Ogneva-Himmelberger specializes in remote sensing and spatial analysis. Her doctoral research, which was funded by the U.S. Man and Biosphere Program, focused on linking field interviews and survey data with satellite imagery data to explain and model land-use change in rural southern Mexico. Most recently, Professor Ogneva-Himmelberger taught GIS in the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University. While there, she also served as GIS Research Specialist in Academic Technology. She was a visiting assistant professor at Mount Holyoke College and has also taught GIS seminars in Costa Rica, Mexico, and Russia.
While at Clark in the 1990s, she participated in the NASA-funded project on predictive modeling of land-use change in southern Mexico, and directed the GIS and remote sensing research group. She has published several journal articles and book chapters in English, Spanish, and Russian.
Ogneva-Himmelberger co-authored a paper with three CDP graduate students (Amar Azucena Cid, Sheryl-Ann Simpson, and Rebecca Dezan) on Pizza joints, health clubs, bus routes, and GIS: Measuring accessibility to health-related community resources and its relationship with urban socio-demographic patterns, which they co-presented at the Association of American Geographers at the annual meeting in Boston (April 2008). Ogneva-Himmelberger presented The value of community-based projects in learning GIS: Students addressing health and food security issues in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA at the "Geography in the Americas: Collaboration on Research and Education" international conference, La Serena, Chile (May 2007).
She co-authored "Diesel particulate matter, lung cancer, and asthma incidences along major traffic corridors in MA, USA: A GIS analysis" to be published in Health and Place Journal in Spring 2008 with her former Tufts University student Jesse McEntee. She also recently received a contract from MIT Press to co-edit a book called Environmental Justice and Sustainability in the Former Soviet Union with her colleague Julian Agyeman also from Tufts. The book will be published in 2009.
Ogneva-Himmelberger is on the Clark team of researchers (along with Tim Downs and Rob Goble) participating in the National Children's Study. It is the largest and most long-term study ever conducted on how environmental and genetic factors impact children's health in the U.S. from birth to the age of 21. Within the Clark team she is leading the effort to use GIS methodology to identify representative areas for sampling within Worcester County and to map and analyze environmental conditions related to population health in Worcester County.

McDonald's Steals Revolutionary Chicken-Pickle Combo
Here's the recipe for Mcdonald's new Southern Chicken Sandwich: "a breaded chicken breast garnished with two pickles." Why hasn't anyone thought of this breakthrough item before? They have! This same sandwich has been Chik-fil-A's signature for years. But McD's is all like, "Uh, what? We totally don't know what you're talking about." Whatever, sandwich thieves!
The sandwich is a breaded chicken breast garnished with two pickles — exactly what Chick-fil-A offers. It was thought up by a group of McDonald's franchisees in Atlanta, where Chick-fil-A is based. And it comes in breakfast biscuit or sandwich form, just as it does at Chick-fil-A.
According to Chick-fil-A, a promotion in the Atlanta area for McDonald's has promoted the fact that the Southern Style Chicken Sandwiches are available on days ending in "y" — an interesting approach, given that Chick-fil-A restaurants are closed on Sundays.
Chik-fil-A is so bruised by this fight that now they've "focused on its own new menu effort, a line of healthy foods." What is happening to the world when Chik-fil-A offers healthy foods? You have to feel for the little guys. Thankfully, McDonald's hasn't yet figured out the real life Southern Chicken Sandwich recipe: chicken-fried chicken, on white bread, topped with American Cheese, topped with barbecue sauce, topped with gravy. Microwave and re-fry. Enjoy four.

State Of The Union Recap: Focus On Jobs
President Obama heads to a manufacturing plant in North Carolina today to highlight one of the key points from his State of the Union speech last night: Creating more manufacturing jobs.
"We can't ask senior citizens and working families to shoulder the entire burden of deficit reduction while asking nothing more from the wealthiest and most powerful," the president said during his State of the Union address.
He's pushing for a permanent budget.
"The greatest nation on Earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next," he said.
Immigration reform and gun control will also be top priorities.
The president pitched new initiatives to create jobs, pay for energy research and improve education and expand trade.
Republicans say the speech was short on specifics.

In a bitter twist of irony, the same week that the Oilers bring Craig MacTavish back into the fold, former Oilers Jarret Stoll and Matt Greene hoisted the Cup as members of the Los Angeles Kings. When the Oilers dealt Stoll and Greene to LA for Lubomir Visnovsky, MacTavish agreed with the decision, but yesterday he admitted that in hindsight that was a bad trade.
MacTavish is a smart guy, real smart, and I'm curious to see how he'll be in management compared to being a coach.
When MacTavish was here as a coach, he had a say in some player moves, especially in the last few years of his coaching tenure. It was refreshing to hear MacT admit that the Stoll/Greene trade was a mistake. Those guys aren't superstars, but they are excellent character players, and well respected in the dressing room. The Oilers could use two guys like that to compliment the young stars.
Of course, had the Oilers kept Greene and Stoll they weren't going to make them a contender for the Cup, and even worse, Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and this year's first pick wouldn't be here. The key for MacTavish and the rest of management is to learn from that mistake.
In his third stint in the organization; player, coach and now management, he needs to show that he's learned from the mistakes of the past. We all make mistakes, and every management team has made some, but the key is to learn from them and ensure they don't happen again.
MacTavish explained why the time was right to return, and he gave me his thoughts on what his role and contribution within the management framework will be.
"I think there is so much going on in the game today and so much is reliant on the management team to spit out the right decisions that I think you can get spread a little thin with management, and I look forward to jumping into every aspect of the game.
"The job of management is to identify value. Whether you are signing players and understanding what good value is, or whether you are trying to procure players into your organization and identify their value and potential, I need to use the experience I had as a player and coach and hopefully see things in players that make you believe they will improve or thgat you'll get good value for or from them."
The temperament and mindset of a coach is much different than a manager. Coaches want to win, and they rarely have the opportunity to look very far down the road. Very few coaches get to stick through an entire rebuild, ask Tom Renney, and while they might want to develop kids more slowly, the fact is, if a coach doesn't win he rarely sticks around.
MacTavish used to focus solely on the next game, but admits that his mindset will be different now.
"I think it is natural that you are more patient as a manager. I've always said when I was coaching that is why there are managers, because the coach needs a governor to stifle some of the decisions you make based on the emotion of the game. You have the managers there to try and talk some sense into you in terms of overreaction to certain single events. As a manager you are not as immediately impacted, and from that perspective you are afforded more leeway and patience.
"I think as a coach it is more of a micro environment, where as a manager it is more of a macro environment where you are looking longer term and a little bit more of an abstract fashion, where as a coach you are just trying to win the next game."
MacTavish has no plans of coming in and telling Stu MacGregor what to do, because MacGregor has done a fantastic job since he took over as head scout in 2008. MacT did give me his thoughts on what teams will be looking for next Friday.
"I think you want the best player, but that doesn't necessarily mean the best player in the next couple years, but the best players 10-15 years down the road. And by franchise players, I mean players that make your organization competitive for 15 years. Players like Sakic and Forsberg in Colorado. They did everything well. They were great leaders, they played well on both sides of the puck, they were very good offensively, physically solid and very good offensively. Detroit had four franchise players; Yzerman, Lidstrom, Datsyuk and Zetterberg who were their best examples of what players need to do to be successful. New Jersey had Brodeur, Scott Stevens and Patrick Elias. Ray Bourque made Boston competitive for 17 years, and those are the types of players you don't want to overlook in this draft by just immediately taking the guy who is great now. It is a deeper decision that just who is the best player at that (now) time."
MacTavish knows a lot about coaching, and I asked him what characteristics he thinks the new coach in Edmonton needs to have in order to be successful.
"I think here it is just a case of getting a guy who can really sell a powerful message, and really help the players young and old in their ability to win. We need somebody who has a dynamic presence that can come in and really communicate that message and inspire this group of players. There has been a lot of negative reinforcement through losing the last few years and we need someone who can come in and wipe that away. You need management to come in and add a few pieces that will really tweak the player's interest going into training camp. Make it seem like a different team, a different element and turn the page on what has been a fairly painful period for Oiler fans and that the horizon looks bright.
"We need someone who can come in and really sell the message that the players are good enough to win. The flucutations that happened last year are examples of a team that when they are winning shows they are really strong, but the minute they start to lose they have a hard time overcoming that. You need somebody who has some good rapport and dynamic personality who can come in here and connect with the young players and inspire them to believe they can win championships."
System play is important, but I found it interesting that MacTavish focused more on the personality of a coach. This team needs a charismatic coach, with a mixture of tough love and support. For the past few seasons, the Oilers haven't had enough talent to compete, but I also felt like too often this team hasn't been mentally tough enough or confident enough.
Before ending our conversation I asked MacTavish what are the two most important areas the Oilers will need to improve on before training camp.
"I think they are well documented. This game isn't that complicated when you analyze the personnel. We need a little bit of help on the defence, that would be my primary concern at this point. I think the veterans will respond next year to this environment, they need to be better, but my wish list, much like 17,000 people that watched them in Rexall on a nightly basis, will be to try and improve the defence. When we do that I think the team will have a real push forward."
This was the headline last November, and of course the Oilers and Devils never came close to making any deals, but between now and the draft we'll hear lots of trade rumblings.
- We've already heard Luke Schenn and the 5th pick from the Leafs for the 1st pick overall. Many said no way they'd do it, but considering I'd rather draft Alex Galchenyuk, if I knew that CBJ, MONT and NYI were going to pass on Galchenyuk I'd seriously consider that deal. I like Galchenyuk a lot, and while Schenn hasn't been great thus far in his career, he is still very young. Ladislav Smid took a long time to develop, and I think Schenn is very similar. He needs a change of address. The Oilers could draft Yakupov, and then if Galchenyuk was available at #5, I'd trade him for the pick and Schenn. My bigger concern is Schenn's contract, because he's already at $3.6 cap hit.
P.S...I doubt Leafs would do that considering they need a C more than a scoring winger.
- Todd Nelson was in town interviewing for the head coaching job today. I'm hearing they might have one more interview to conduct before making a decision. I won't be surprised to see a new coach in place before they leave for the draft next Wednesday.
- I spoke to a source in Anaheim and Bob Murray is now starting to look at potential offers for Justin Schultz. Many feel that the closer we get to June 25th the lower the return will be. Many teams are leery of giving up anything of substance just to secure the chance to negotiate with Schultz, because they feel Schultz wants to go to free agency. No team can offer him more money, and I'd be stunned if Schultz and his agent haven't already looked at which teams are a good fit. Why not tell the Ducks who those teams are and see if they can make a deal prior to June 25th.
Tomorrow is the Astral Caring for Kids Radio Broadcast from the Stollery Children's hospital. I've had the pleasure of doing my show there for the past six years, and every year I'm in awe of the love and support the staff and parents have for the sick children. The kids are truly inspiring and some tough little SOBs.
I've heard many listeners tell me it is hard to listen to some of the heartbreaking stories, but I hope you find the time to listen in tomorrow. Hopefully you've never had to take your child to the Stollery, and hopefully you never will, but I'd recommend doing a "pay-it-in-advance-donation" just in case you ever have to walk through those doors. You've read Brownlee's story of how the Stollery saved his son Sam's life, and if you've been in his shoes you know how incredibly awesome the doctors, nurses and support staff at the Stollery are.
Tune in, it might make ya tear up, but sports fans love emotion. Don't we?

People seem to be confusing "skilled" with "good", when someone argues that a team is better off with better players, they aren't just talking about fancy offensive skill.
R Nielson is and was far more skilled then Horcoffs, but Horcoff is far more "good" at hockey.
June 13 2012, 08:50PM
Not sure if you can seperate "best player in 10-15 years from now" with consensus number one today.. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that Yakupov wont be every bit as good as Stamkos, the guy broke Stamkos junior rookie scoring record..
If Yakupov was born in North America and doubt as to whom oilers are taking number one wouldve ended the day they won the lottery.. dont tell me that somehow oilers scouts know better than 99 percent of scouts out there, and how can you predict how good someone will be 10 years from now? Yaks has a great attitudem plays physical, wants to be here, and is clearly the bpa(we dont know about galchenyuk due to injury) so its easy, yakupov it is.
I agree. Yakupov is the best choice.
The fact he doesn't mention goaltending (Khabby) as a weakness bothers me.
Either he is not aware of the problem (most scary), or has been told not to mention it (less scary but implies stupidity from his bosses).
I hope management sees it.
I am glad he sees the Defense as a weakness.
I've been in the "TAKE NAIL" Camp for sometime, but OILCAN's spitballing has me wondering.
Let's presume that Shultz will follow Gardiner. That achors Toronto's defense. That would make someone like Shen expendable, and YAKAPOV would certainly give Toronto a Big Jump start.
Think of the mileage Burke would get, with the Toronto media, with the #1 overall pick in his pocket.
But IMO, Toronto would have to offer just a little bit extra (at least a 2nd round pick) to make that happen.
The Oil could get an established Blueliner and have a good chance of getting a pretty good player at #5 plus an additional draft pick.
However, If the OIL could get Gardiner (and by extension Shultz), that fills the 2 defencemen the Oil Need this year. Then at 5 there will still be a pretty good Forward or a Defenceman available.
But IMO, the OIL would have to offer more, possibly a Gagne or the 32nd pick.
I just hope that The OIl and the Leafs take a long long look at these options. Could be a win win.
Best examples of highly skilled teams are the Olympic teams. Salary is moot. They can have anyone yet they still opt for role players.
June 13 2012, 10:15PM
Best examples of highly skilled teams are the Olympic teams. Salary is moot. They can have anyone yet they still opt for role players.
The closest thing to role players the Canadian Olympic team had on it were Morrow, who are both fantastic two way player, and are top 6 (more like top 3) on their respective teams.
If anything the Olympic team proves TUG's point more then it disproves it, as they learned the lesson of taking the Zamnures of the league.
Anybody hearing any rumors that Toronto is willing to give up Jake Gardner and there 5th overall for our 1st overall? Would we have a better shot at landing Justin Schultz as well...
I tend to doubt the notion the Oil are going outside the organization for the next coaching staff. If they select Krueger or Nelson they can force them to keep Smith and Buchberger as assistants. I think they can do better. It would appear Katz is keeping ex-Oilers around no matter what they bring to the table.
The Oil as far back as the 90's have not been long on patience on people hired from outside the 'oil-ed boyz network'. See George Burnett and Tom Renney. Outside hires have always been treated like cannon-fodder in the GM's struggle to stay alive by passing the buck. Tamby craps the bed on staffing the team and then makes Renney walk the plank. B.S.
I doubt very much that either Green or Stoll could have done enough to keep this organization from cratering. They are solid support, heart and soul guys but not game changers. I would suggest the Oil would have still drafted #1 overall at least twice whether they were here or not.
MacT's return may have one other positive affect though...it might light a fire under Tamby's ass to start doing a more convincing impression of an NHL GM.
June 14 2012, 12:09AM
Best examples of highly skilled teams are the Olympic teams. Salary is moot. They can have anyone yet they still opt for role players.
Really? Which NHL "role players" played on the last Olympic team? The only guy who comes within a mile of that description is Morrow, but I'm pretty sure he plays top 6 in the NHL. The rest of the team is pretty much all superstars.
June 14 2012, 12:29AM
Considering no team has ever done it with four lines, what is your point. That the Kings would have been better off with Vis than Stoll or Greene this year?
He isn't more important on that team, is my point. They didn't need his skill set, they needed guys to win faceoffs and kill penalties.
Trading to get better skill, doesn't always equate to better team. Need a balance. History shows that.
That is the point, teams never have all highly skilled guys, cause many don't do the ugly jobs.
Johnson isn't as terrible as you think. Wait and see. I don't see Visnovsky as high as you do. Too one dimensional for me.
He's great in reg season, but game not made for playoffs.
Why do you keep talking about LA trading for Vis this year? How does the fact that a defensively deep team would not trade for a 35 year old defenseman right now make your point in any way?
You keep trying to somehow connect it to Johnson, but it's irrelevant. Johnson is a bad player who inconceivably bought them Jeff Carter. That was his contribution, and he should probably get his name engraved for it.
Then you say Vis and Johnson are basically the same player, yet somehow Vis is bad and Johnson is good. What am I supposed to make of that?
That is the point, teams never have all highly skilled guys, cause many don't do the ugly jobs.
You are misrepresenting my comments here by equating "skill" to "soft". I have been using the term "skill" to mean "good". The difference is very important. I'm not advocating for Schremp, I'm advocating for good hockey players.
History shows that.
History shows that teams have always been built the traditional way. Traditional does not equal better.
Too one dimensional for me.
If by "one dimensional" you mean "constantly moves the puck in the right direction" then you are correct.
June 14 2012, 12:50AM
You're lucky you didn't bet....
Here is the link of top PK minutes amongst forwards, only guys on their team who'd be considered top six are Jordan Staal and Horcoff, which suggests Horcoff should be a 3rd liner.
You don't think this is a matter of managing ice time?
You play the guys who can score during scoring opportunities.
Interestingly enough, Kopitar, Richards, Brown, and Carter were all in the top six PKers for the Stanley cup champs during the playoffs, when playing your best PKers is more important than managing ice time.
The top 7 Devil forwards on the PK during the playoffs were Parise, Elias, Zubrus, Zajac, Henrique, Ponikarovsky, and Kovalchuk. Weird.
Of course guys who aren't scorers can be good on the PK. Scoring ability isn't required. It doesn't mean that players who can score cannot PK. Of course you want guys who can PK on your team, but it doesn't mean they can't also know how to score.
June 14 2012, 01:35AM
The fact he doesn't mention goaltending (Khabby) as a weakness bothers me.
Either he is not aware of the problem (most scary), or has been told not to mention it (less scary but implies stupidity from his bosses).
I hope management sees it.
I am glad he sees the Defense as a weakness.
It wouldn't be very professional of him to call out Khabby or for others to either. What's the sense? If you don't know that your self, you don't follow the Oilers.
Do you really think that the managements doesn't?
June 14 2012, 01:38AM
@Dave P
In my opinion: there is no way in hell that Kevin Lowe gives Yakupov to Burke under no circumstances. No way! If Yakupov becomes an elite for Burke, yeah right. Not under Lowes watch.
What's with the big love-in for MacTavish? Everyone seems to be saying the same thing, how he's a "smart guy". He's not Einstein people! Just a guy who lost a room and was unable to get another coaching gig in the NHL.
I think a few years down the road we'll look back and reflect on how bad a decision it was to have him in the fold.
June 14 2012, 08:13AM

He is just one of three of the hockey minds managing the Oilers. So really the group as a whole will sink or swim. How will we know who does what to assume that the hiring was good or bad ?
As a coach he was successful given the talent he had to work with .. his teams worked hard.
@Eddie Edmonton is probably right, the chance to get Yakapov is attractive.
However, the chance to get a strong pair of defencemen (Shultz and Gardiner) plus a pretty good player at #5 seems too tempting IMO.
Offer the DUCKS a #6 or a #7 and discuss the situation with Shultz.
Then if Shultz is receptive, Offer Toronto next years #1 and this years. If need be sweeten the pot with a roster player (maybe Eager).
Would give BURKE a chance to recoup on the Kessel trade and he might LEAP at the chance to make a splash.
At #5 Forsberg, Galchenyuk, or Morgan Ryley would probably still be available.
Just thinking OUTSIDE the BOX here...

@ Jason Gregor
"You're lucky you didn't bet....
Here is the link of top PK minutes amongst forwards, only guys on their team who'd be considered top six are Jordan Staal and Horcoff, which suggests Horcoff should be a 3rd liner.
Actually, I'm lucky that I didn't bet that most teams top PK min guy was a top 6 forward. I said:
"In fact I'd bet most teams get a high % of their penalty killing from their top two lines."
June 14 2012, 09:41AM
Ummm guys,
It's all about the normal distribution, or bell curve.
Not many guys can 'do it all'. Some guys are good offensively, some are good defensively. Few are good at both (superstars).
Gregor is saying there are certain roles which need to be fulfilled in order to be a successful team. Specifically, there need to be both offensive specialists and defensive specialists.
Tiger is saying that a team of guys who are good at both would be preferable to a team of specialists.
Both of you agree that certain tasks or roles need to be done in order to win.
You are both arguing the exact same thing.
My only contribution to this discussion is that in reality there aren't enough superstars (guys who do it all very well) for 30 teams to ice 4 lines of them. That's what makes them super, they are rare. So, you get specialists (guys great at one thing) and put them in specific roles.
June 14 2012, 09:49AM
Tiger: A team of superstars would beat a team of specialists.
Gregor: No way you need roleplayers to win. You can't just have a bunch of offensive guys and win.
Tiger: I agree. What I mean by 'superstars' is guys who can do it all. Score. Check. Pk, etc.
Gregor: Well, ok. But there aren't that many superstars to go around.
Tiger: Good point, so in reality you'd have to settle for some guys who are good at some things but not good at others.
Gregor: Yeah.
Tiger: Cool. As long as the roles are being fulfilled.
Gregor: Exactly. I am so glad we agree.
Tiger: Me too. I love you.
Gregor: That's weird, but you know what I love you too.
Tiger: A team of superstars would beat a team of specialists.

Gregor: That's weird, but you know what I love you too.
I've never laughed so hard in my life... And you've included Tiger in the mix... AWESOME!! If I could give you 10 props, I would...
Thanks for the laugh...
*Weiserhood slow clap*
Ganger's name came up again. He has played 366 NHL season games. He is an average player. No more, no less in my opinion. He has issues with skating, puck movement and size. When are some of you people going to let go of the word "potietal" and accept facts? he is what you have seen. Average.
June 14 2012, 12:32PM
I am not familiar with the word "potietal" but it will come in handy in Scrabble and WWF. Thanks.
And who is this Ganger you speak of?
In regards to teams having all skill players.
The Stanley Cup Champs used to play the NHL All-Star Team the following season. This is probably going back to the original six. . As my memory serves, the Stanley Cuppers usually won. I always attributed it to that many muckers can discourage many skill players from displaying their skill. A good team needs both.
@ The Soup Fascist
I don't spell very well. But I do have good vision. I can see I ruffled your feathers.
June 14 2012, 04:50PM
@ Turnover
Fair enough. I suck at video games and don't eat enough salad.
While a realize this issue has been discussed ad nauseum, Sam Gagner by definition is an above average hockey player. He finished 105th in forward scoring. Just counting starters there are 360 forwards in the NHL. If average is 180th place, then an average NHL forward last year scored 32 points. Gagner's 47 points put him one behind Ryan Malone and Curtis Glencross and one more than Ryan Smyth and David Clarkson.
I realize points are not the only measure of a player. So I will add Gagner was +5 on a team that gave up 27 more goals than it scored and is a tough little player. He is only 22. I realize I am wasting my breath on the Gagner haters but - I can't help myself. Add "lack of self control" to my deficiencies.

Skip to comments.Texas has a true Conservative Candidate for Governor in Debra Medina
Posted on 02/03/2010 10:30:31 PM PST by no dems
There is a lady who is a true Conservative running for Governor of Texas and, in the polls, she is closing in on Ted Kennedy's girlfriend, Kay Bailey Hutchison. Her name is Debra Medina. Check out her website:
Wasted time and vote when there are so many dems to unelect
It appears that her proposals to eliminate property taxes, and gun registration do not make sense. Given that, what makes her so compellingly conservative?
I am rounding up people every day who are going to vote for her. I will work to help get her votes.
Debra Medina's commitment to principle and people over big government interests and hollow political rhetoric is the epitome of what it means to be a Texan.
Debra Medina is the only real choice for Texans in 2010 for Governor.
In true Medina style, she doesnt give up. She stands by her idea stating, "If we can lose our property to government, then we dont really own it.
What does not make sense about eliminating property taxes? What proposals does she have about gun registration according to you?
She has said that eliminating property taxes is what will make us really free. Keeping what we have worked hard for.
She is adamantly opposed to any kind of gun registration. She is the ONLY candidate who believes in the Constitution in its entirety. She wants to nullify socialist laws from the federal govt. She doesn't like big government intruding in our lives. She does not support abortion at all, for any reason. These are just a few things she is all about. Oh, and the most important one of all: SHE IS NOT A GLOBALIST like Perry or KBH.
Now tell me, what is not conservative about that? You will not get these things from anyone else running for Gov. in Texas
Gov. Perry and Sen. Hutchinson are no prizes, but Medina is not ready for prime time - she may never be, if her State convention performance is reflective of her poor temperament and weak resolve.
Wasted time and vote when there are so many dems to unelect
There is NO Dem to "unelect". This is Texas...all Republican. Whoever wins the GOP nomination will be elected in November. Besides, Rick "Empty Suit" Perry (aka "Governor Good-Hair") and Kay-Kay are part of the entrenched political Establishment that people are tired of and want voted out.
Proven to take a stand.....
Where can I review that record myself ?
Her talking points an site are awesome but I vote on ones established record. Where can one find such information on her ?
Was she a local, county or state politican ?
longevity has given Perry cloutcan she accomplish anything?
Heck yeah. What are you saying Robby; that only lifelong politicians need apply? People are sick and tired of entrenched politicians.
The more I learn about Medina, the more I like her. I think that ten years should be enough, if not too much, for any Governor. And I'm not very convinced of Kay's Conservatism.
Please post a link to a youtube video where she is crying. Here is where she is at the convention, and I don't see her crying at all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1CZ26KGb5I
She IS ready for prime time
She was a community organizer. /s
No, but I know something about the limitations of the office. But if she won she would have to face the Democrat and a lot of rich Republicans might prefer someone like White.
A lot of people remember White inviting half of New Orleans here after Katrina, boy did crime ever shoot up here after that.
I'm voting for her in the primary.
Maybe on ronpaulforums.com? ;-)
LOL......I hope not !!!
You home or on the job ?
Hope yer well young lady !!
My point.....media darlings we avoid.
My votes are only for proven track records !
yeah, but did that help the school system in N.O! ;)
Actually I heard it did. :)
I got this off a radio report but Rasmussen did some polling and they found that if the election were between Perry and Democrat Bill White (former Houston Mayor), Perry would win by nine points. If the election were between Hutchison and White, Hutchison wins by 13 points. If the election were between Medina and White, Medina wins by three points. Taken for what its worth. I'm not sure White is going to beat Farouk Sham-wow or whoever the guy is but I just can't see Texans electing a governor named "Farouk". Of course, I couldn't picture Americans electing a president named "Barack" either.
After listening to the latest ads from Perry and Hutchison singularly attacking each other, Medina's ads ought to start
"I'm sure you've listened to Gov. Perry and Sen. Hutchison attacking each other in ads...and they're both right. You shouldn't vote for either of them!..." Her message should be "I'm the conservative none-of-the-above candidate."
I'm home and heading back over there to work soon.
Very good possibility I will be in the 'Stan this spring.
Take care of YOU!
I will....family will be east of ya then. I am officially done with that now. Gonna fly a desk for a few more an retire .....again....:o)
Stay Safe !
She doesn't have experience and she is not a leader. She is a loose cannon; does not work well with others.
You know what I like about Debra Medina?
1) She has experience in grass roots politics, and she
has never held an office. Just because someone has,
doesn't make them a good candidate.
2} She is a leader
3) She is not a loose cannon
4) She works well with others
Private property is the foundation of freedom and capitalism.
If a person can't own property then he or she is a slave to the state.
Property taxes are socialism/marxism/communism. Everyone is paying rent to the state so the state is the owner.
If Medina is for getting rid of property taxes then she is conservative and understands something about economics and freedom that most people have no clue of.
Eliminating Property Taxes: It CAN be done by Nelda Carrizales Skevington on Feb 01, 2010 WHARTON, TX, Monday, February 1, 2010 - In the race for governor, there is one candidate who is promoting ideas to secure private property and solve economic problems in Texas. Her name is Debra Medina and she is being met with friction from those who claim that the elimination of property taxes is not a realistic goal.
In true Medina style, she doesnt give up. She stands by her idea stating, "If we can lose our property to government, then we dont really own it
Private property is the foundation of freedom and capitalism.
If a person cant own property then he or she is a slave to the state.
Property taxes are socialism/marxism/communism. Everyone is paying rent to the state so the state is the owner.
If Medina is for getting rid of property taxes then she is conservative and understands something about economics and freedom that most people have no clue about.
Agree. Medina is a Libertarian who is being pushed by Ron Paul supporters. She will only draw votes away from the two major GOP primary candidates. ....Like Obama, she has memorized some talking points and just repeats them every time she is interviewed on radio or elsewhere in the news. Her points on border control, gun control and property taxes, for example, are not doable; they just garner some votes.
No offense intended, but Medina's Paulbot ideas would not happen. In Texas, the Governor is basically at the mercy of the State Legislature and only they can pass new laws. The Governor may possibly veto legislation at his/her peril, as the Legislators mostly represent "the people".
Freepmail me or ping me from the original thread to get on/off the 2010 Texas Governor's Race ping list.
I am voting for Medina in the March primary. I am getting pretty tired of the REP-tards who keep attacking her. They are the reason we have RINOs in DC, as it is more important to them for Republicans to win than a principled candidate. Screw the constitution, elect a republican! Perry is a blah, blah ex-Democrat talking hero.
Not only will I vote for her but I donated $100.00 to her campaign. The Republican Party once stood for limited government, free markets, and personal liberty. It will again starting with Texas when Debra wins.
It appears that her proposals to eliminate property taxes, and gun registration do not make sense.
Yep gonna eliminate gun registration in Texas. Well do so say......... LOL
No Thanks, Not Ready For Prime Time!
Yes, thanks. She's ready for prime time.
Medina is a Ron Paul clone.
Nothing more and nothing less.
One of her big talking points was that she is going to end gun registration in Texas. Her little Bots here on FR were talking this up big time this past weekend. As usual they were wrong on the most simple issues.
"Protecting freedom requires that the people be well armed. Government cannot protect us from violence, we must defend ourselves. Texans must not compromise and must not surrender their rights to keep and bear arms. We must not only nullify federal laws that threaten that right but encourage citizens to be, as Madison encouraged, "trained to arms, as that is the best and most natural defense of a free country."
Debra Medina
Will words like won't come out of the mouth of Perry or KBH.
I was unaware that we had gun registration in Texas.
This is as stupid as the Democrats "utopian" government. Tell me again WHERE are we going to get our tax dollars to run this great state? If we eliminate property taxes, then sales taxes will go up, or a state income tax would have to replace the lost income.
If you believe you can remove property taxes without one of the two solutions above, then I have some ocean front property in Dumas, Texas that I want to sale you!
She's a nurse.
Empties bedpans.
She has experience emptying bedpans.
2} She is a leader
She is a nurse.
3) She is not a loose cannon
She is clueless about the most basic issues.
4) She works well with others
Like Ron Paul.
Me too.
Hey, dubya I think a Medina supporter better handle this one.
Thank God for Presidential term limits and we were able to replace that damn Bush with Obama.
I agree 100% with your points.
However, the state of Texas does need a revenue stream to exist.
What is Medina offering as a replacement? Without addressing this issue, she is just blowing smoke. IMHO
Can she accomplish anything you ask? I'd say she has already accomplished A LOT.
She has come out of nowhere without money while being totally ignored by all media. She just won both debates and a poll a few days ago that had her winning more votes for Governor than Perry and Hutchinson combined.
We'll see how far she goes after the runoff SHE has forced.

Umbro Golaço: we speak to our winners by Aaron› 4 Apr 2014
It's a few weeks since we announced the winners of our Umbro Golaço competition, and our five lucky goal-scorers from around the world are now looking forward to an amazing trip to Brazil next month. Before that though, we thought it'd be good to chat to some of our winners, and to see how they feel about winning a once-in-a-lifetime prize.
First up, Argentine Javi Castabal - if you haven't seen his stunning strike, you can watch it here. Here's what Javi had to say about his goal and his footballing heroes...
Tell us about your Umbro Golaço goal – where was it scored?
'During a tournament we played with my team, in September 2013. I was playing with Furano, my team, the opponent was Febo Asoma - the game finished 1-1. I've scored a lot of goals out of area, but none as good as this.'
Why did you decide to enter the competition?
'When I heard about the way of choosing the winners I really thought I had a possibility to win. The goal had to be good, and I knew mine was.'
What do you think was so special about your goal that made it stand out?
'I think the fact that the Roberto Carlos goal was inspiring this competition helped me a lot. The goal was from far away, surprising and fast, characteristics that a lot of Roberto Carlos goals have in common.'
And how did it feel to find out that you'd won?
'I felt very happy and anxious! I think the trip will be amazing. However, I don't want to create any expectations, but let myself be surprised once I'm there.'
What does football mean to you?
How old were you when you started playing football?
'I don't remember exactly. My first memories come with Italia '90. I was five years old.'
Which players inspired you when you were growing up?
'When I was younger it was Caniggia, Francescoli, Ortega. When I started watching more international football I liked Micheal Laudrup, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo. Today my favourite has to be Messi, by far the best player in the world.'
Had you seen the famous Roberto Carlos goal
before? And do you think he meant it?
'Yes - and he did mean it; no doubt he was capable of scoring goals like that. I'm sure he could score another similar goal.'
Thanks to Javi for speaking to us, and congratulations again on winning the competition! We'll be catching up with our other winners soon - you can still see all of our chosen goals at through the Umbro Golaço app.

Reviews for this host's other properties
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!

Fifty law enforcement officers representing five different agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service, hit the streets of Highlands Ranch this past week to check up on 62 of Douglas County's 282 registered sex offenders.
Directed by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, officers made contact with 48 of the 62 offenders they attempted to contact on Sept. 25, finding just one out of compliance. Earlier in September, officers swept through the southern part of the county, reaching 41 of 61 offenders in the Castle Rock area in one evening.
"The most important thing about this is that law enforcement actually puts eyes on these people," said DCSO Lt. Kevin Duffy. "This is a very transient population."
During the checks, which are required by state statute, officers take note of any significant changes including change in appearance, change of address, whether the offender is driving a new vehicle, or has changed an email address or phone number.
"If they don't live there anymore, we try to get the new address information and take a statement from the current resident," said DSCO Capt. Jason Kennedy. "That person becomes our first witness and our criminal investigation begins immediately."
Offenders have just five days to report a change in address or they could be charged with a felony. When the agencies made their sweep Sept. 11 in Castle Rock, they discovered one offender had moved to California and not reported it to Douglas County authorities or registered with the authorities in California. It's for that exact type of situation that the U.S. Marshals Service works with local agencies to help keep track of offenders and intervene across jurisdictions when necessary.
Any changes with offenders are tracked and immediately updated in the county's online sex offender tracking system, SOTAR, which — after being launched in Douglas County in 2006 — now shares its information with 36 police departments and 21 sheriffs' offices along the Front Range and Western Slope.
"The registered sex offender database is in my opinion almost critical," Duffy said. "We have called upon it in the last nine months on probably eight or nine cases where the first thing out of everybody's mouth is: 'Where are the registered sex offenders in the area?' ... In a case in Parker, in literally a half-hour, we had detectives on the doorsteps of 18 sex offenders while looking to find a kid we thought was abducted."
While any resident can do a basic search of offenders living in their area by visiting www.dcsheriff.net and clicking on the unified sex offender registry in the lower right column, officers can use the SOTAR database to delve even deeper, searching by everything from vehicle type to hair color to visible tattoos, height and weight.
The site, which accounts for 42 percent of all offenders in the state, only shows those who are web eligible. Residents can obtain information on all others — those with just one misdemeanor on their record — by visiting their local law enforcement office.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The recently passed Labor Day holiday, always finds our family in Fort Bridger, Wyo. Not just us, but several residents from Carbon and Emery counties make the trek as well.
We started going in 1986, that was our first year and have only missed one year since then, so it was our 21st trip. As things have evolved over the years many things have changed. We used to take five kids and jam them into our trailer which has never been big enough for all of us, but the kids liked to sleep out in the tent so most of the time unless it rained there was enough room.
This year it was just down to the two of us, if that isn't weird, no kids to shuttle around and worry about all weekend. Our son Luke was always getting lost and spending a lot of time on traders row visiting with the traders and talking them out of their goods. But, this son was far away this year in the Fiji Islands on a mission for his church. The other son, was playing football, his first year at the high school. Bow season always keeps the others away and so we were just down to two. But, it was still fun.
It's just fun to be in Fort Bridger. There are so many things to see and do. You can shop with the traders and find all kinds of treasures. There are furs and hats of all description. All types of clothing, from mountain man era to colonial, Spanish, French and everything in between. No reason to be a pilgrim when you can buy everything on site. What is a pilgrim? Well if you aren't dressed in your pre-1840 gear then you are considered a pilgrim.
There are dutch oven cooking contests and clothing contests. There are kids games for all the children and a candy cannon which shoots candy to all the children gathered on the parade grounds.
There are blackpowder rifle contests, flintlock contests, pistol, shot gun and smoothbore. The youth and women shoot together for a rifle. This year the top lady shooter was Emery County's own Cathy Gunter. She brought home the new flintlock custom made blackpowder rifle. Two other Emery County shooting club ladies shot in the top five including myself and Kelly Davis. In the mens rifle event, Ken Gunter was second and Mike Juggert was in the top five. That's pretty good representation from the county. I have to brag a little, my husband Willie took first in the flintlock shoot and third in the smooth bore. My brother-in-law Kevin Offret won a new flintlock rifle on the raffle. He is the luckiest dude, always winning on the raffles. I have won one thing in my life and that one thing was a gun, so I guess that's OK I haven't won anything since. But I still buy tickets, they tell me it's a worthy cause and I am such a sap. Willie often wonders why we don't have any money. It's because I give it all away.
The pioneer spirit of Fort Bridger can't be surpassed. Nearly every pioneer on the way to the Salt Lake Valley or Oregon and points in between passed through Fort Bridger. You can still see the wagon ruts near Fort Bridger. This year as I attended Fort Bridger I was reminded of Montell Seely and his recent passing doing the things he loved participating in a pioneer handcart trek. How he would have loved the spirit of Fort Bridger.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holds an outdoor service at the Old Mormon Fort Wall every year. The church members from the Lyman ward and Fort Bridger ward hold the sacrament meeting. I guess this is probably my favorite part of Fort Bridger now. You can get up and go to church outside and you can wear your mountain man clothes. It's a unique experience.
There are many friends at Fort Bridger that you only see once a year. The local BookCliff Muzzleloader club shoots monthly throughout the winter and spring so we see the locals a lot but many of the people who attend Fort Bridger are from other states.
All and all it's a great time, even though things change and people come and go. You miss those mountain men who didn't make it through the winter. Last December one of our good friends was killed in a car accident, he was a shooter and in more recent years a trader. We actually helped get him started as a mountain man. He was a pilgrim and came to a shoot at St. George to visit us and then next thing you know he was all decked out in mountain man gear and had bought a gun. We do miss Tennessee. But, his widow Peggy is carrying on without him, she has downsized the tent a little, because she couldn't put up the big tent by herself. She has learned to drive the big motorhome to haul everything around in and she is still trading at the shoots.
Once it gets in your blood it's hard to get out of it. Larry Williams and Don Burge from Price always make the trip to Bridger. Don usually shoots primitive bow and Larry is always out on the shooting range, one of the best shots around. The Funks from Ferron sell Chet's handmade gear up there and the Frandsens value their time at Fort Bridger where Jay sells his hand made flint knives and jewelry. They enjoy the friendships they have acquired over the years and especially making music around the fire at night.
Whatever your reason, it's funnest when you are a participant. Get out and enjoy life and live it to the fullest wherever you are and no matter what you do for fun.
