Object Description
|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1979-05-08, Vol. 39, No. 51
|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Golden Shears is well under way again and by the end of tonight we will be crowning another shears champion.
Perhaps it will be a familiar name, or face, or perhaps not.
What is a given to my mind is that I, along with many, many others are in for a great night's entertainment as the country's best shearers and woolhandlers go head-to-head in what truly is one of the year's great sporting highlights.
Golden Shears is also a survivor having clocked up better than 50 years as a spectacle and on each and every occasion it has been staged in Masterton.
I pity those who have never made the time or taken the effort to enjoy the shears.
You actually don't need to know a single thing about shearing, although I suppose it is necessary to know it happens to sheep and involves a very sharp instrument.
That is the extent of what you need to know in order to go along and have a great time.
Of course there is a cost to attending the shears, depending on which days or nights you go to but it is not expensive.
Hours of good entertainment, not only from the shearers but from woolhandlers, woolpressers, the commentators ensures you get value for money.
About the only gripe I have is the War Memorial Stadium seats tend to get a bit hard on the buttocks after an hour or two and with a good crowd in the stadium it can get a bit warm.
But they are not huge concerns and are easily outweighed by the action on the board and the excitement that mounts, especially on the final night - being tonight - when the best of the open shearers vie for the title of Golden Shears champion.
I am always somewhat amused when people comment there is "nothing to do" in Wairarapa, as though we are some isolated backwater that stages nothing worthwhile.
Take a look at most weekends and in particular this one and you will realise how stupid that statement is.

Yoga and Mental Illnesses

Mental illnesses occur commonly around the world and cause serious impairments in functioning. According to the World Health Organization World Mental Health Surveys (WMS), the inter-quartile range (25th-75th percentiles) of lifetime DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV) illness prevalence estimates is 18.1-36.1 percent, and 12 month prevalence is 9.8- 19.1 percent (1). Mental illnesses are classified as psychosis (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder) and neurosis (anxiety disorders, eating disorders, etc.). Medical science has made remarkable progress in terms of treatment of these illnesses, but the treatment remains mostly symptomatic. Most of the time the patient is prescribed treatments that last for a lifetime, and the cause is never found. Therefore, there is interest in complementary and alternative systems of medicine in preventing and treating mental illnesses. One such form of therapy that has been used in treatment of mental illnesses is yoga.
The word 'yoga' is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning 'union.' It is an ancient system of physical and psychic practice that originated during the Indus Valley civilization in South Asia. The first written records of this methodology appeared around 200 BC in Yogasutra of Patanjali (2). The system consisted of the eightfold path or Asthangayoga. In contemporary literature, yoga has been described in several ways. In a more modern context yoga has been defined as "a systematic practice and implementation of mind and body in the living process of human beings to keep harmony within self, within society, and with nature" (3, 4).
The traditional practice of yoga was quite rigorous and arduous and entailed life-long devoted practice and adherence to strict austerities. Today many schools of yoga have simplified the techniques, making these more suitable for users in different walks of life. The eight conventional steps of Asthangayoga consist of Yama (rules for living in society), Niyama (self-restraining rules), Asaana (low physical impact postures), Pranayama (breathing techniques), Pratihara (detachment of the mind from senses), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (complete union with super consciousness) (5).
A study with unipolar depression patients found that yoga intervention showed significant reduction in depression, anger, anxiety, and neurotic symptoms (6). Another study with Sudarshan Kriya Yoga on depression found it to be useful (7). Another study with depression found that significantly more yoga group participants experienced remission than control group (8), and a study using mindfulness meditation found it to be useful in anxiety disorders (9). A study of yoga as an add-on treatment in schizophrenia found that subjects in a yoga therapy group experienced significantly less psychopathology, had significantly higher social and occupational functioning, and had greater quality of life than those in a physical exercise therapy group (10). Thus, it can be said that yoga has shown promising results in treatment of mental illnesses. More studies using randomized control design should be conducted with yoga in mental illnesses.

Promoting the Health of the Nation: Institute of Medicine Hosts Summit on Integrative Care
Beth Sommers, MPH, LAc, PhD (candidate)
The Institute of Medicine in Washington, D.C. held a three-day summit on integrative care in February that drew public health professionals, clinicians and researchers. ACHP was well-represented by a number of our members. Over 600 people attended the summit, which offered presentations, discussions and opportunities for dialogue with experts from around the country.
Speakers included Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, Dr. Josephine Briggs (NCCAM) and Dr. Mehmet Oz. Recurring themes and areas of interest included advancing the base of evidence for integrative approaches and envisioning changes that can occur at all levels to meaningfully implement aspects of integrative health. Discussions touched on all aspects of the human experience – mind, body and spirit – to critically examine current health care challenges and to develop workable models of integrative care. Emphasizing that "what is good for an individual is also beneficial for the planet," a number of speakers re-iterated that effective networks of care have already been created.
Adopting new priorities for wellness and integrated health practices does not necessarily translate into additional national spending. Priorities can be shifted to emphasize and reward effective wellness strategies. The United States is already spending $2 trillion for health care (the largest budget of any country in the world), but is ranked 40th in overall national health. Speakers noted that there has been a critical failure to focus on health promotion and disease prevention, with the health care industry becoming a disease-centric and dysfunctional system that fails all stakeholders: consumers, providers and payers.
Adopting a paradigm of wellness also requires trans-professional cooperation and education, getting students out of "training silos" that isolate them from other learning experiences. Partnerships between schools of different disciplines are essential to educate tomorrow's health professionals. Dr. Carol Black, of Britain's Royal Academy of Medicine, encourages cross-professional synergies and interactive learning that train students to cooperate and function as a team. For example, in this model students from schools of nursing and medicine could take some courses together to develop a better understanding of how to work together in the best interests of their patients.

Partnership in Public Health: Public Health Students Contribute to Research in Boston
Pathways to Wellness has been working with the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) since 2003 to provide students with real world opportunities in integrative care, cutting-edge research, and community-oriented projects.
Three students who are graduating from the Master of Public Health program at BUSPH this spring spent the previous semester working with Pathways' Research Department on two of our current projects – the digestive side-effect study and the Win Win Hands On massage program.
Sheriza Baksh and Chung-Wei (Jasper) Yang became involved with our clinical trial that is examining the effects of acupuncture and relaxation on digestive symptoms related to the use of HIV-medications. This three-year study is funded by NIH's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Jasper's project focused on statistical approaches to quantifying medication adherence; its title is "Medication Adherence Rate Calculations: Algorithm Development and SAS Programming." His contribution helped to work with missing and duplicate data, developing a dataset that included the following methods of determining adherence: pill counts, pharmacy records, and medication diaries. His efforts are appreciated because they help us know how to best describe adherence. Jasper worked with the study's principal investigator, Bei-Hung Chang, who is a statistician. In May, Jasper will be awarded his Master's degree in public health focused on environmental health.
Sheriza Baksh, a student specializing in epidemiology, worked with Pathways Research Associate Helen Lim for the digestive side-effects study. She assisted with participant recruitment efforts, prepared study materials, and did data-entry for the clinical trial. She also helped with assessing the appropriate interpretation of missing data. She became a vital part of the research team, and her efforts and contributions have been greatly appreciated.
Win Win Hands On had the benefit of an international health concentrator, Molly Kessner. This study, funded by the Massage Therapy Foundation, is examining the role of massage as part of a comprehensive approach to promoting healthy habits for adolescent girls at risk of diabetes. Massage may have a role in helping girls to improve their self-worth and body image, and may be a positive incentive for attending gym and exercise classes. Molly worked to help recruit girls for the project, as well as administering questionnaires.
The students' contributions to these projects provided essential person-power to the Research Department. BUSPH's partnership benefited Pathways, the students, and participants in the research projects. The students' enthusiasm and willingness to learn have been important qualities.

15 Predictions for the New York Islanders in 2013
ChrisTriants | Jan 18, 2013 | Comments 0
NHL hockey is a back in less than twenty-four hours! It's a shame that we had to be saying that, but I'm also really happy to be saying that.
Anyways, the New York Islanders will be at the Coliseum tomorrow night. They will be facing-off against the reigning Eastern Conference Champions, the New Jersey Devils, which looks to be a great matchup for all fans in attendance. The Devils will be starting Martin Brodeur for the 18th straight season on opening night, and the Islanders will (hopefully) be starting Evgeni Nabokov, a winner of 311 NHL games.
Islanders fans will also see John Tavares for his 4th (3 ½) season on the Island, and his supporting cast looking to pick it up a notch as the Islanders look to make their first playoff berth since the 2006-07 season.
With so many question marks for every team, and the league's possibility of being an extremely predictable one this season, here are some predictions for the Islanders in 2013:
1) John Tavares will end the season on over a point-per-game pace. Last year, JT did fell one point short.
2) Rick DiPietro and Evgeni Nabokov will not finish the season, as both goalies will go down with an injury. Nabby will fall due to conditioning, and Rick DiPietro will be his same old self. Kevin Poulin will take the reins.
3) Michael Grabner scores 15 goals. Matt Moulson scores 20 goals.
4) Lubomir Visnovsky will report to the Islanders, and will be traded within his first month on the team. The Islanders find no need for Visnovsky, as Thomas Hickey stands out as a solid puck-moving defenseman.
5) The Islanders power-play improves from last year's 8th-overall to a top-5 performance. The penalty-kill improves from the middle-of-the-pack to top-10. Kyle Okposo breaks out on both units.
6) The Islanders offense improves greatly from last season on a goals-per-game basis. The Islanders see offensive production from their 4th-line, including Marty Reasoner, who scores on opening night.
7) Matt Martin breaks the NHL hits record (OK that one was just for fun).
8) Jesse Joensuu returns from injury and scores 10 goals this season. Josh Bailey returns from injury and fails to live up to his expectations. Islanders must make decision if he is a bottom-six forward/penalty killer, or give up.
9) Joe Finley shows glimmers of why he was a first-round pick in 2005. Plays 20 games for the Islanders before breaking his hand in a fight.
10) Jack Capuano lasts the entire season.
11) John Tavares will lead the Islanders forwards in plus/minus. Travis Hamonic for defensemen.
12) Mark Streit will have a better defensive season than 2011-12. He will also score 5 goals on the powerplay.
13) Islanders find themselves on a 5-game winning streak early in the season.
14) Nino Niderreiter and Brock Nelson get called up to the NHL together. Nelson becomes one of the Islanders best two-way forwards. Nino scores 8 goals in 15-20 games.
15) The Islanders make the playoffs, jumping over New Jersey and Philadelphia in the division. It's a 7-seed for the Islanders at the end of April. Hot start, hot finish, but cool for 10 games in the middle.
What's on your minds, Islanders fans; any predictions for the upcoming shortened season?

In my first blog, I introduced the term "ecosystem services", which has become a popular way to refer to the value of ecosystems. This is an important concept as it provides a counter-argument to the often narrow-minded and short-eyed approach of economics.
A newly published study shows that three species of waterbirds (tufted duck, goosander and goldeneye) are shifting their wintering grounds northwards along the North-West Europe flyway in response to rising temperatures. Rising temperatures due to climate change and shifting ranges for wintering waterbirds have profound implications for the conservation of site networks along the flyways and highlights the importance of adaptive management approaches.

The still darkness
closes in on me,
it envelopes me
so much so that I feel
I am part of a big nothing,
just isolated and totally alone.
I know this is not true,
I am part of something,
I am connected to God and you.
How horrible it would be
to live in a real nothing nightmare,
to always be separated from loved ones.
But I snap out of this by reaching into my mind
pulling memories of you close to my heart
and letting your love save me, again.
You'll never know how many times
you've saved me with only the hope of your love,
tonight is no different in the still darkness.
Were you here next to me
I would show you again
how much I love you
and how big a part of me you are,
but, sleeping in this stillness
is what I have to do, for now.

Obama warns terrorist enemies of America: Sure, I'd trade more prisoners
**Written by Doug Powers
On Friday, President Obama put enemies of the United States on notice when he essentially told them, "If you dare take any of our people hostage, we will find you, and we will return some of your cohorts if that's what you want."
Intimidating rhetoric from POTUS:
On criticism of the deal, the president pointed out that the war in Afghanistan is ending, and that, by definition, "you don't do prisoner exchanges with your friends, you do 'em with your enemies."
"It's also important for us to recognize that the transition process of ending a war is gonna involve, on occasion, releasing folks who we may not trust but we can't convict," Obama said.
He concluded: "This is something that I would do again, and I will continue to do wherever I have an opportunity, if I have a member of our military who's in captivity. We're gonna try to get 'em out."
Gitmo may be empty by the time Obama leaves office.
But on the upside, one of the Taliban leaders Obama released from Gitmo has vowed to turn over a new leaf and live a peaceful life as an insurance salesman in Qatar:
"Fight Americans again" is Pashto for "the good hands people," right? Don't worry, everything's cool.

UNDATED (WSAU) Catholic Cardinal Tim Dolan gave a deposition yesterday about sex abuse by priests in the Milwaukee Archdiocese. Dolan was questioned as part of the two-year-old bankruptcy petition filed by the archdiocese. He led the sector from 2002-to-'09.
The inquiry was led by Jeff Anderson, who's representing over 500 sex abuse victims who filed damage claims in the bankruptcy case. Dolan is now the Archbishop of New York and a long-shot candidate to become the next pope.
Church attorney Frank LoCoco said Dolan answered questions about his decision to publicize the names of alleged pedophile priests in cases that are mostly decades old – a move he said would encourage healing among those victimized. Dolan heads to the Vatican next week to help select a new pope to replace the retiring Benedict-the-16th. A spokesman in the New York archdiocese said Dolan was eager to cooperate in the Milwaukee bankruptcy case, and he long awaited the chance to answer questions about what happened.
The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests says it will press to make what Dolan said public. A court hearing on releasing certain items will be held April 4th as part of the bankruptcy proceedings. Peter Isley of the Survivors Network said Dolan did a lot of quote, "creative maneuvering" without holding church leaders accountable for failing to stop the abusers. Many Milwaukee church officials have been deposed in the bankruptcy case – including former Archbishop Rembert Weakland. Dolan is one of two Catholic leaders deposed recently in the aftermath of the church sex abuse scandal. The other is retired Los Angeles Archbishop Roger Mahony.

Carrington School Reviews
At Carrington School, the bullying is horrifying! The administration cares more about the grades, awards, and the all around fabulous look of the school, more than the safety of the children. The same discipline is used for every violation. Whether it be wearing the wrong uniform, or assaulting another child. Everyone gets a lunch detention. Which is only the difference between eating in the cafeteria, or the punishment of eating in front of the office. A sad state of affairs. It's like it never happened. Who will help my daughter?

Hrabal Hrabal
Josef Hrabal is playing tonight for the Falcons. Guy has a nice item on it over at Coming Down the Pipe.
Hrabal has a lot of pro experience and his resume reads a bit like a young Jan Hejda (in terms of lots of pro experience in high Euro leagues). I've written about Hrabal 5 times now (it's on the menu, spelled as "Hrabel) and have him ranked as the Oilers 14th best prospect.
His skill set and experience may push him past a few of the highly rated kids playing the blue in Homer Simpson's town.

As we close in on Thanksgiving, our thoughts naturally turn to the blessings that we are thankful for in our lives. For so many of us, these include family, friends, our health… as well the health of those who are close to us… and for so many of us, we give thanks for the jobs we currently have.
Rich Peverley can certainly be counted as one who can be thankful for his current employment and the position he finds himself in…and last Saturday he shared with us how he is indeed grateful for the opportunity afforded him by the Thrashers last January.
Certainly he, nor anyone else, could not have predicted what was about to transpire as he prepared to leave the Nashville Predators for their AHL affiliate in Milwaukee during the middle of last season…a destination he never had to make. Instead, he was plucked off of the waiver wire and headed for Georgia. A few short days later, he was starting his first game as a Thrasher. On top of that, he was to center the first line that Ilya Kovalchuk played on no less.
Quite a swing there…eh, Rich?
"It was a crazy time", he told me." I wasn't sure if I was going to play the American League or if I was going to be picked up by [an NHL team]. I was lucky to be picked up by Atlanta and lucky to picked up by a coach who was going to play me".
"I was thankful I got the opportunity", he continued. "Just going from playing hardly any minutes to playing with Ilya Kovalchuk right away helped me get a good jump".
As I'm sure you'll all remember, Peverley fit in right away and help spark a team that was not playing well to one that finished last spring on a very positive note. In just his second game in an Atlanta jersey, he capped off a great come-from-behind win against the Maple Leafs by knocking home the game-winner in overtime.
In his comments after the game, it was easy to tell how happy he was to be here and to be playing with one of the top stars in the league. "It's tremendous to be able to contribute…to get an overtime winner was great but it was also a great play by Kovalchuk."
He was an instant hit with fans, his new teammates and coaches as well.
"I think he's exactly what we thought he was, and more", assistant coach Randy Cunneyworth said of the 27-year old native of Guelph, Onterio. "The more we've utilized him, the better he's played…no matter what line we've put him on he's been a spark plug. It's so easy to put him on any line and let him go to work and get those guys going".
The Thrashers carried their good play last spring over to this fall by getting off to a winning start. The same is true with Peverley's performance. He leads the team with 24 overall points and his 16 assists is second behind Nik Antropov's 19…helping to bolster his nickname "The Pevs Dispenser" as he has this great propensity to dispense the puck onto teammate's sticks who then score goals…or just dispenses it into the net himself as he's done 8 times already this season.
In the case of Bryan Little, Pevs banked the biscuit off his skate to finally get Little his first goal of the season.
Peverley has played in a total of 59 games for the Thrashers and has scored a total of 21 goals and 38 assists during that time. In comparison, he mustered up a grand total of 7 goals and 13 assists in 73 games played in a Nashville Predators uniform. He's a +20 playing for Atlanta whereas he was an EVEN rating with the Preds. And with all his fine work on the offensive side of the ice, it's almost easy to overlook his solid, responsible play in the defensive zone…which was a skill set that was much needed by this team upon his arrival.
As thankful as he says he was to be here, Thrasherville was equally happy to have him.
Fortunately for Thrashers fans, Rich didn't wait for late November to arrive to display his full measure of gratitude toward the organization that gave him a chance eleven months prior. As the season was just in its first weeks, he agreed to a new $2.6 million contract that'll keep him in Atlanta for at least 2 more years…doing so instead of testing the free agency market this coming summer.
But why sign here now and forgo the chance to have multiple other teams offer even more for his services? Well, for Peverley…it's simply a matter of returning the favor to those who took a chance on him earlier in the year.
"Well, you know, they gave me an opportunity", Peverley said. "It's a good fit here…I'm playing a lot of minutes. And to be successful in the league you gotta play".
He went on to further express how much he enjoyed the situation here and again showed his sincere appreciation for the club that reach out and plucked him off of the waiver wire last winter. "I was thankful for that. [The Thrashers] have a lot of good players and I wanted to be a part of a good, winning organization".
And so the man who was blessed with being given a chance to continue playing at the NHL level last January, returned the favor in the best way he could…by putting pen to paper on a new deal early on in the process and signed for less than he most likely could have gotten after the season ended.
"I wanted to move forward…I wanted to put it behind me and I didn't want to think about it all year".
And for that, all of Thrasherville can give thanks.

What a great pickup. I cannot think of anything I don't like about Pev's game. It is nice to see he is thankful for what so many players (in all sports) take for granted. Most players (in all sports) have an entitlement attitude; not Pevs.

Happy Thanksgiving all! That said. No playoffs for these untalented heartless quitters! Loseland required fumigation after that shetty giveup job against Tampa Bay. Thrashers have only themselves to blame for horrendous home attendance totals! Who in Hell wants to watch that uninspired bullshet? Nobody with half a brain! Pavs is becoming a whining excuse maker like Sori Letemin. Wah wah wah! Man up you piece of commode residue. No one feels sorry for your uncaring a$$! Least of all me. I will say this for John Petrino, he is in the same motivational class as Mark Bicht. Nuff said! See nothing to look forward to from here on out. Same gutless and ball-less Thrashers from past seasons! Kaptain Ilya Kovalchuk will soon be gone. Hey, Kari Lehtonen will be back for a few games until he breaks a nail! Losing streak rocks on. Likely to for quite a while! Hope Thrashers enjoy Canada. Losers! ++STENDEC++

I, for one am thankful that i have a hometown hockey team to watch in person and on tv. Yes, these twenty minute games they are playing now is unnerving, but this team will show that they can play with the big boys. Anyway i'm gonna cheer for the Thrashers, good or bad. We must remember, this is a game. We all probably know someone or have relatives who are in harm's way in the middle east, fighting for their country and that is no game. If you have a family that you can gather with on Thanksgiving, thank the man upstairs for their health and be thankful you have food on the table to eat, because a lot of people don't have either. I will count my blessings this Thanksgiving for a family that is here, and i am thankful for a roof over my head. I don't have a job right now but i'm still blessed. Anyway, don't forget what's really important. I love the Thrashers as much as anybody, and i hope they go far in the playoffs, but i'm gonna root for 'em win, lose or draw. God bless.

I am thankful that we have NHL here in Atlanta. I remember the "dark years" after the Flames were stolen from us. For 20 years I was able to watch NHL hockey only on TV. During some of those years, even the Stanley Cup Finals was only available only at sports bars, as no network carried the games.
I hope this crew that we have turn it up a knotch, win consistantly at home, and bring the fans back. If we lose this team, we won't get another one in my lifetime.

Amen brother, AMEN!! I am very thankful indeed to have Ten Gallon Dick slingin' his pucks to and fro for years to come here in the ATL corral!
Rawhide, we are truly blessed to have you as our fan-blogger. Hell, you've even inspired me to write my own musings on a blog…what is this damn world coming to??
LAC – right on buddy…we should've traded Whitey while his value was through the roof. We could've gotten another quality Top 4 D-man and put more pressure on Hainsey to play at a high level. Ronsey does a lot of good things, but sometimes his lack of physical play can be maddening and he is prone to make some boneheaded passes out of the zone. However, in his defense I think he was still a bit sore from getting dinged Sat night versus the Pen-gwens. I must respectfully disagree with you about Little. He'll come around…he's still working hard and creating chances for others. When he starts scoring, I think he'll rack up a bushel of goals…I predict 15 by January 15th.

I too am thankful this city has a hockey team. I was not a fan of hockey at all until 10 years ago when a friend of mine took me to my first game up in Philips. Now hockey is my favorite sport and then some. I will be devastated if the team ever gets moved.
I'm also thankful for this blog. Lots of opinions and perspective to be gained/analyzed.
Rawhide – Thanks for the stats on SA per game on the last blog as well. Interesting…still don't think we'll make the playoffs though unless those numbers are trimmed at least a little. Bascially because it translates to zone time (or lackthereof) for the Thrashers.

I am thankful for Pevs and will be even more thankful when Ilya puts ink to the paper and the ASG continus their promise on building a winning team and inks others such as Max and Kubina. Nice piece Rawhide, one of your best.

You do a great job, Bill!
Happy Thanksgiving to all the denizens of Thrasherville and especially to Rawhide and the Rowdies.

Thanks for hockey in Atlanta, from Willie Plett to Ilya Kovalchuk. Thanks for a great blog, Rawhide, that allows me to read all the great insight on the Thrash.
And thanks to Stendec, who makes me realize that no matter how bad things get sometimes, there is always someone else who feels shettier than me.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone and Go Thrashers!

Happy Thanksgiving, Bill to you and all Thrasher fans! I'm thankful to have a fan blog like yours that makes me feel part of the Thrasher family even up here in North Carolina.
Just curious – was the "testing the fee agency" an intentional typo? I thought it was pretty humorous, and figured it must be intentional!

I dunno – I thought it was a sweet nod by Brian Duff to change Peverly's surname so that he could be included in the Russian five. Perhaps my sense of humor is off – prob why I like those Brit movies.

Me too. Wonder if the other four are teaching him Russian so he can be an "honorary memeber?"

I'm thankful hockey has a pulse in the ATL, fans get a chance to debate their views of reality here and that there's a quality host here with great insight keeping it focused. Another great piece on the Pevs dispenser. Keep up the great work Rawhide. No Bluenote kharma at home, no wins….could there be a connection?
I'm particularly thankful not to have added any hood ornaments in the form of deer to my car last night on a 10 hour midwest roadtrip extravaganza. Also thankful for therapists, anti-depressants and mood-control pharmaceuticals. There's hope Stendec!
Will be in a different timezone, so must send regrets to the TJs crew tonight. Will lift hoist one in your honor.
Much to be thankful for here. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Apparently the main reason Kovy hasn't resigned is because he wasn't sure if the Buffalo Sabers were serious about winning according to today's rumors on ESPN. http://insider.espn.go.com/nhl/features/rumors

I am thankful for a blogmaster who SCORES AN INTERVIEW with Rich Peverley. We do take Rawhide for granted, with all he's done for the fan blog. Especially keeping it active during the entirety of the offseason, when rosters are set and key personnel changes are made.
Rawhide also got an interview with Coach Anderson. And he organizes events for Philips Arena. What a long way this forum has come since the Ice Princess. Rawhide goes way above and beyond anything required of a fan blogger. I am thankful the AJC gave him this space to do his thing.
And I'm grateful for all the usual things, the blessings of family, the comforts of home, good health, and the means to support it all, including the Center Ice package and NHL Network! And, of course, I am grateful for NHL Hockey in my city.

J.B. – Its just a typo, but also an typical example of how sloppy and unsubstantiated the ESPN Insider is with its "Rumors" page, and strangely often on Thrashers rumors. ESPN NHL Rumors is often about as reliable as Ecklund.
November 25th, 2009
1:19 pm
I'd like to give thanks, to what two years ago, seemed very unlikely.
First, the ASG for finally increasing the team payroll which has given team management and the players the opportunity to compete with the rest of the NHL.
Second, the sales/marketing group for the Thrashers which has enhanced the value of being a season/half-season ticket holder. Numerous perks and events have been added to enhance the value of purchasing ticket packages. For the first time in years, I'm happy to be a ticket package holder.
Third, Don Waddell for going out and bringing in Rick Dudley, who is already leaving his imprint on the team.
Fourth, who would have thought two years ago that Rawhide would have turned the fan blog into what it has become today? He has organized events, maintained an active blog site, and reached out as an ambassador for hockey in Atlanta. He has graciously engaged and recognized fans before, during, and after games.

40 saves for Pavelec. It's a 2-0 win for the Thrashers. Ondrej's second shutout this season. Remember, he also had 50 saves in a win over Ottawa, in addition to a shutout of the L.A. Kings about 2 weeks ago.
November 25th, 2009

November 25th, 2009

Pavelec is really outstanding. He is looking composed, handling rebounds well, and never getting flustered. His turnover in the second could have been deadly, but he had the presence of mind to get in position and make a great glove save. I'm a believer! Opie, Opie, Opie!

Great game by #31, who needs #32 as far as I am concerned… He has proven he is here to stay, this was a GOOD Game, good defense too, about half their shots were on PP or from the blue line…
Good defensive from Kane tonight, and another Excellent game by Max !
#17 looks slow the past couple games.
With NYR win they move into 8th place we are 9th.
TB lost to Toronto, Exleby got an assist !
Carolina has Staal back so he will be in Friday's game.
Overall good game, only BAD moment was interview with waddell, he said NOTHING… As usual.
Detroit announcers said Atlanta & 17 have agreed on ten year deal, just working on $… Odd how they offer more info than our guys do.
November 25th, 2009
11:35 pm
Detroit announcers said Atlanta & 17 have agreed on ten year deal, just working on $
I'd be really interested to know where they heard that. If that's true though, that means so much for the future of this franchise.
November 26th, 2009
12:02 am
It was great to see the #17 was't auditioning for his next team tonight. I'm not going to worry about the Kovy contract until the third week in January. If it gets signed before then, GREAT!
What I don't understand is this. If there were, in fact, "counter-negotiations" going on previously, as has been reported in the AJC, why didn't it produce a contract, way back when? The only answer I can find is this one. Kovy's counter-offer was a list of players whom the organization had to procure. If it was a dollar amount and years, the proper response was to end contract negotiations by signing the deal.
If I were Kovy, and I were signing a 10-year deal, even at the league maximum, I'd still put in a clause that says, "Kovalchuk has the right to walk away from the team if its Opening Night budget is greater than $3.5 million from whatever the cap is, in any given year." If the Spirit agree to it, what's left to do? Kovy gets his LOVE. No doubt of that. Plus, he gets guarantees about the budget. Which is great for everybody. Uhh, with the understanding, of course, this means WE ALL HAVE TO PAY MORE for our seats. Kovy's contract won't get paid without those dollars. But, we WANT the ownership to spend more. This way, they can lock up Bryan Little, Pavelec, Kane, Bogosian, and whomever else, moving forward. Including Peverley, two years from now, when the deal he just signed expires.

Sioux Falls students went back to school last week for the 2009-2010 school year. That also means the doors opened for the 2nd year to an onsite Avera Health Center at Washington High School for Washington students. Here's more on the school-based clinic made possible by a grant, a partnership and a will by Avera Health to keep kids well and in school.
Sioux Falls Washington High School Sophomore Zak Skorczewski is doing exactly what Certified Physician Assistant Bonnie Bleeker hopes his classmates will do. And that is when you aren't feeling well take advantage of the McGreevy Avera Run Health Center located right in the front offices. Zak's mom says it's worked great for both her Washington High students.
Tami Skorczewski says, "I find it helps when the kids are feeling sick, but not too sick to stay home, that they can come to school and be seen by the PA. She can look at them, calls me with a report, calls in their prescription to the pharmacy and it's great. The kids can stay in school and I can stay at work. It's really helped our family and it's so convenient."
This is the first school-based health center in South Dakota. It's a partnership between the SD Department of Social Services, the Sioux Falls School District and Avera Health. It's funded by Federal Grants and no treatment is given without the consent of the parent first.
Bonnie Bleeker, PA-C says, "We see students mainly for sore throats, ear aches, and for coughs. We can do rapid strep, mono and urinary tract infection tests as well. If something is more serious we will call McGreevy Clinic Avera, set up an appointment and send them over there. If it's emergency, we will call for an ambulance."
The reason Avera picked this area and Washington High School is because of the diversity here. 13 counties are represented in the student body and many of the kids have never had medical care. They hope to change that.
Bleeker says, "Hopefully, we are making a big impact on the students. Hopefully we are helping them take responsibility for their health and also keep them at school and keep them healthy. We are helping them learn about prevention and care as they grow older and go off to college."
What a perfect place to teach about healthy living, wellness and prevention and now that Zak got cleared for class he'll head back to German.
Dr. Shari Eich is a pediatrician at the main McGreevy Clinic Avera and also the Medical Director for WHSHC (Washington High Student Health Center).

One of the new avenues of activism that's been an offshoot of the Ron Paul campaign and the new Campaign for Liberty has been the state sovereignty movement.
Here's an email I got on the progress on a new state soverignty law passed by the Oklahoma legislature:
Paul Supporters Lead Fight to Restore State Sovereignty
Oklahoma State House to consider historic bill to take back state's rights under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution.
For far too long, the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has been known as the forgotten amendment. With power grab after power grab, Congress has slowly eroded the rights of states to keep powers not specifically granted to the federal government.
As more and more citizens and state legislators across the country begin to realize that this loss of states rights is at the core of many of our nation's problems, those legislators have set out to stop the out of control Congress and restore some sense of sanity and constitutional protections to the individual states.
On February 11th, Oklahoma became the first state to act on legislation to do just that. This action was directly brought about by a Ron Paul supporter, and it is Campaign for Liberty members that will see this battle all the way through to endorse Ron Paul's candidacy for President because of Dr. Paul's strong support for the US Constitution.
You see, the 10th Amendment in our nation's Bill of Rights has long been despised by our big government foes. That amendment was drafted to enshrine in the Constitution what the Founders and the original states already knew any power not expressly given to the federal government is kept by the states and the people. Although a lot of freedom-minded individuals have long fought for full compliance with this amendment in modern times, there has been a void of leadership and a lack of focused action .
That void has been filled by the formation of Campaign for Liberty, which was born from Ron Paul's galvanizing 2008 Presidential campaign.
Campaign for Liberty is fighting in state legislatures across the country and in Congress to preserve and restore constitutional rights to all citizens, to subdue an out of control federal government, and to win back our lost freedom.
The fight in Oklahoma is a great example of the kind of battles we face in the next stages of the Ron Paul Revolution.
With the support of Dr. Paul's activists throughout the state, the Oklahoma legislature has taken up a vital bill to put Congress in its place and to remind it that there are limits to federal power.
This past Wednesday, the Oklahoma House Rules Committee unanimously supported House Joint Resolution 1003 which expresses the sovereignty of the State of Oklahoma and clearly calls for an end to unconstitutional federal government mandates.
Representative Charles Key (R-Oklahoma City), the sponsor of this bill, has spearheaded a national movement to put the federal government on notice that the separate states are sick and tired of having their actions dictated by Washington, D.C.
Rep. Charles Key is a supporter of Dr. Paul – in fact, ">he was the first elected official in Oklahoma
Oklahoma IS an example of how the R3volution is leading the battle to restore constitutional rights and freedoms to our citizens. The fight to reclaim our Republic and restore our Constitution is just beginning, and, with the continued efforts of Campaign for Liberty members all across the country, it is a fight that we will win.
Kirk Shelly
Oklahoma Interim State Coordinator,
Campaign for Liberty
This movement may very well spread with this move by the Federal Government to make sure every state takes federal money even if their governors say no. Hopefully some of them really raise cain about this.
17 thoughts on "The emerging state sovereignty movement"
Hooray! Finally some people and leaders with backbone and a willingness to take on Big Brother. If or when Campaign for Liberty reaches Florida, I would like to be contacted. Don't have money, but do have time to work in whatever capacity. The time to restore law and order in government is now!
D B Allyn
This is encouraging and shows that constitutional principles can still work in spite of the vicious efforts of the New World Order. But this movement will need to be coupled with a cultural, political and social awakening of European-Americans This may be our last chance to take back our country, to retrieve what is rightfully ours.
It does take a society awhile to wake up and smell the coffee, but where were these "Awakenings" 50 years ago?
The cover of Time magazine, a picture is worth a thousand words:
Who is your (traditional) enemy?
I share your frustration. Sometime I wondered if there was a backbone to spare in the entire continent of North America. As they say, better late than never.
And let's not overlook Tennessee and South Carolina!
Who'll join me in a round of "Bonnie Blue Flag"?
Harold Crews
If you are a citizen of South Carolina go to the page below, find your Representative and tell him to support the resolution.
Harold Crews,
wonderful news. Thanks.
Kirt Higdon
Hate to throw another wet blanket, but so far these state sovereignty resolutions are just feel-good posturing. To date, what central government usurpations have been successfully or even unsuccessfully resisted? How many governors or other authorities have been arrested or imprisoned for their resistance? In another forum, one posturing states rights warrior announced that Missouri was considering a state sovereignty resolution to be triggered if FOCA is passed by the US Congress. You can't get much safer or more make believe than that. FOCA has not even been introduced in the current session of Congress. Indeed the whole anti-FOCA campaign is pretty much a desperate attempt to prevent the political demise of the pro-life movement by giving it a pretend victory.
Nothing short of economic collapse and/or bloody civil war with victory this time for the states' rights advocates will re-assert the independence of the states. This could happen sometime down the line, but state sovereignty resolutions are irrelevant to whether it happens or not. And if the war between the states is too much ancient history, consider a current example. At a cost of about a third of its population killed, wounded or driven from their homes, the Iraqis tried to assert their independence against the US regime. They apparently have failed. Resistance has dropped to a minimal level and the puppet regime set up by the US has consolidated its power. Would the people of any state of the imperial heartland be as scrappy as the Iraqis or willing to sacrifice as much? Yet they would have to be all that and more to win.
Kirt Higdon: "Hate to throw another wet blanket, but so far these state sovereignty resolutions are just feel-good posturing."
Here is something that will lift your spirits Kirt, looks like the spirit of the Duce is alive and well (HeHe!):
"The new measures, which mandate mandatory life sentences for those who rape children or murder their rape victims, has been greeted with a storm of hysteria from open borders advocates concerned more with the welfare of illegal immigrants than with the safety of Italian women and children or justice for their families.
The new measures also allow for the integration of civilian patrols as auxiliaries for police in efforts to help forestall immigrant crime."
Kirt Higdon
Interesting, but I'm not quite sure how it relates to the topic at hand. I'd be a lot more impressed if Berlusconi pulled Italy out of the EU and NATO and if the Northern League were to return to its separatist roots and declare the independence of Lombardy. Civilian police auxiliaries is an idea which I hear Obama is playing around with.
The Obongo administration is hellbent on drilling as many holes in the bottom of the ship of state as they possibly can, it seems. LOL!
Obongo's administration could well be the equivalent of the Reichstag fire for WN.
Obama does have visions of "Brown Shirts" that answer to "Homeland Security".(Sound familiar?)
These will be the people that eventually interogate you for "Hate Speech" when you thought that your co-worker was simply a co-worker?(He keeps his jackboots and brown shirt in the closet for what he calls his patriotic duty.)
If you asked him about the "Night Of Long knives" he would assume it was a cowboy and indian movie?………More than likely his "Upper-Management" would be a good little "Sayanim" who see's the world in a different view?
Nicholas Stix, apparently a Righteous Jew, outlines the plan to genocide the White race that Obongo's handlers, the international midgets, have drawn up for him, here:
Stix is mistaken, however, when he asserts that our only hope is to break Obongo's momentum NOW. Wrong, even if all immigration were cut off today our minority status is guaranteed; in that scenario our race will wither on the vine. Our only hope lies in the flux that chaos and collapse of the System will create. Our only hope is that our people will become hardened with strength through suffering, that we will come together and find the resolve to take back all that has been stolen from us. Pro-White Revolution.
You are right Captain Chaos…………..We are Zimbabwe in "Stage 1″.

I am happy to report that the Senate State and Local Government Committee here in the great state of Ohio did hold hearings on Spt. 15th for SCR13 (State Sovereignty) in review to pass on to the general assembly for a vote. This hearing was held to allow testimony in favor of this bill. 10 citizens, including myself attended and where allowed to spend a full hour and a half on this issue. If you wish to read or hear my testimony please visit my blog at the following link:
If you are in Ohio, I urge you to call both your Senator and Representative to express your support of this bill. Thank you, and God Bless.

Orange supervisors vote 4-1 to allow 'big-box' retail center
|FULL COVERAGE: View dozens of related stories, multimedia and more on the Wilderness Wal-Mart controversy.
Associated Press Writer
ORANGE--Local officials early Tuesday approved a Walmart Supercenter near one of the nation's most important Civil War battlefields, a proposal that had stirred opposition by preservationists and hundreds of historians.
The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to grant the special permit to the world's biggest retailer after a majority of more than 100 speakers said they favored bringing the Walmart to Locust Grove, within a cannonball's shot from the Wilderness Battlefield.
Historians and Civil War buffs are fearful the Walmart store will draw traffic and more commerce to an area within the historic boundaries of the Wilderness, where generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee first met in battle 145 years ago and where 145,000 Union and Confederate soldiers fought and more than 29,000 were killed or injured. One-fourth of the Wilderness is protected.
But they could not sway supervisors, who said they didn't see the threat.
"I cannot see how there will be any visual impact to the Wilderness Battlefield," Supervisor Chairman Lee Frame said, casting a vote for the special use permit the store needs to build. "I think the current proposal ... is the best way to protect the battlefield."
The retailer said construction could begin in a year.
Nearly 400 people crowded into Orange County High School to attend the board's hearing. Some came dressed in period costume, including a dead ringer for Lee, and one speaker ended his remarks with a rendition of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Many residents cited three reasons for supporting the Walmart proposal: jobs, tax revenue and a cheap shopping option for the 32,000 residents of this farming community about 60 miles southwest of Washington.
"I know we've been referred to as ignorant shoppers," said Barbara Wigger. "I feel bad about that but I'll live with it. Let us have our Walmart and let us stop the battle."
Speakers who urged the board to reject the special permit said they were not anti-Walmart, but simply worried about the sanctity of the Wilderness.
"This is a major battlefield," said Charles Seilheimer Jr. "It may not be Gettysburg but it's pretty close. The Civil War experts say this is part of the battlefield. I believe them."
Charles Edge said supervisors should not allow the retailer to build on ground "marked by the blood of the fallen."
"The establishment of a retail chain makes a mockery of that sacrifice," he said.

One of the hottest looks right now features long, loose waves. I can't even begin to tell you how many calls I have received from hair professionals and friends asking where to get large barrel curling irons.
A beauty just crossed my desk. The Brazilian Heat 1 ½ inch Curl Iron is the perfect size to create beachy waves. The iron, by Belson, features a Tourmaline-infused ceramic barrel that heats up to 450 degrees in less than one minute. There is a digital display and temp-lock features that locks in the temperature to the desired setting.
Celebrity stylist Tippi Shorter has been using the iron on Alicia Keys and Keri Hilson, and it can be found in the beauty closets of Camila Alves, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendra Wilkinson and Tori Spelling.
"Texture is at the forefront of hair fashion right now," says Tom Gebhart, Senior VP and general manager for Belson Products…the creator of this iron. "We're seeing a variety of curl patterns and sizes, but for loose, deconstructed waves, this is the perfect choice."
