For the AJC
Here's snapshot of some of the key developments Friday night.
Seminole County not dead yet. Seminole County (7-2, 5-0 in Region 1) helped its post season chances immensely on Friday by blanking rival Miller County (8-2, 5-1) 20-0 in front of the hometown crowd in Donaldsonville. Seminole's defense was the difference, holding the Pirates' offense to just 173 total yards and minus 3 in the fourth quarter, according to the Albany Herald. Seminole, the defending region champs, most likely needs to win the region in order to make the public school playoffs due to its low Power Ranking, No. 20, this week. Seminole can clinch a playoff birth and the region crown with a win next week at Mitchell County (5-4, 4-1) in Camilla.
Another region title for Lincoln County. Lincoln County (8-1, 6-0), ranked No. 5, rallied from a 13-0 deficit to take down No. 9 Wilkinson County (6-3, 5-1) 21-19, Friday in Lincolnton. Quarterback Ben Turner threw a touchdown pass and ran for another, and Mike McIntire ran for 122 yards on 17 carries, according to the Macon Telegraph. The win gives the Red Devils the 37th region title in the school's history and most likely clinches the top spot in the public school Power Rankings, barring a let down next week in the season finale against Hancock Central (5-4, 3-3).
Region 4 is still a mess. All three of the teams tied for the top spot in the region (7-2, 5-1) – Brookstone, Dooly County and Marion County – won handily Friday. Marion bounced Hawkinsville 31-14, while Brookstone walloped Central-Talbotton 52-12, as quarterback Duncan Fletcher threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score, all in the first quarter for the Cougars, according to the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. Dooly shutout Greenville 35-0 behind 231 yards rushing on just 16 carries by Chanin Hamilton, who had touchdown runs of 82 and 42 yards, according to the Macon Telegraph. The Bobcat defense held the Patriots to just 3 first downs and 11 yards of total offense. Brookstone likely has the toughest season finale next week, as the Cougars travel to Greenville (5-4, 3-3). Dooly will finish at home against Schley County (2-7, 2-4) while Marion will visit winless Central-Talbotton (0-9, 0-6). A three-way tie will likely be decided by the Power Rankings.
Wilcox County in control of Region 2. Wilcox County (7-2, 4-1), ranked No. 7, topped No. 8 Irwin County (6-3, 4-1) 28-21 in Ocilla on Friday. The win puts the Patriots in the driver's seat in the race for the region title. They were aided by Telfair County's (6-3, 3-2) 29-21 upset of Charlton County (5-4, 3-2). Next week will be interesting as Wilcox welcomes Telfair to Rochelle while Irwin travels to Folkston to face Charlton. A win by the Patriots would give them the Region 2 title outright.
Here comes Landmark. The War Eagles (7-2, 5-0 in Region 5) won their sixth straight on Friday in dominating fashion, 36-3 over Holy Innocents (6-4, 4-2). Sophomore running back Jeremiah Kirkland led the way with 274 yards rushing and three touchdowns for Landmark, which will travel to McDonough next week to take on No. 1 Eagle's Landing Christian Academy (8-1, 5-0) for the region title.

Landmark vs. ELCA …. Congrats to Landmark on the big win ( 36 – 3 over Holy Innocents ). This is how it's suppose to set up …. two undefeated ( Region teams ) on the final week of the season … "Maybe" even a Top 10 matchup if Landmark cracks the Top 10 this week.
November 3rd, 2012
7:26 am
Region 3 Championship !! ….. STC, I'm sure your going to get to this, but the best Class A game next week might be Sav Christian vs ECI. Should be a great game !!
November 3rd, 2012
7:59 am
MORE ON REGION 2 … all this information is based on this past weeks ( Oct 30th ) GHSA Power Rankings … # 2 Wilcox Co is a lock for the playoffs, #4 Irwin & #5 Charlton lost last night & play against each other next Friday … those two should be locks for the playoffs. #16 Clinch needs a big win over Turner Co ( who was #17 & has lost 3 in a row ) next week to get in. "IF" # 21 Telfair Co could pull off another "upset" ( big win over Charlton Co last night ) and beat Wilcox Co next Friday ….. that could give Region 2 ….. 5 teams in the playoffs !!
November 3rd, 2012
8:06 am
FIREWORKS !! …. It's going to be very interesting to see those final GHSA Power Rankings next week …. there are a lot of "good" teams on the BUBBLE ….. Our Lady of Mercy, Clinch Co, Johnson Co, Seminole Co, etc ….
November 3rd, 2012
8:51 am
Thomas the Seminole/ Miller game was a game of missed opportunities for Miller. Miller didnn't score with a 1st and goal, a later touchdown called back and dropped balls by recievers. I was very disappointed in the Pirates poor effort. However, Seminole played hard and made few mistakes It was a suprising and great win for them.
November 3rd, 2012
10:29 am
Anyone know how bad ELCA's quarterback was hurt last night. Will he be back for Landmark next week?
November 3rd, 2012
1:48 pm
@ jep …. ELCA QB … word is a high ankle sprain, 50/50 that he will play against Landmark right now. Odds are ELCA will rest him against Landmark and give him two weeks off it and have him ready for the playoffs. Young 9th grader ( backup QB ) did a fine job last night …. ELCA ran for almost 500 yards against Pace Academy !!
November 3rd, 2012
2:22 pm
@ Swamp Lizard I might just bust a bllod vessel looking forward to next friday night ECI vs SAV Christian. It doesn't get any better than that for a pre-playoff football game.
November 3rd, 2012
2:34 pm
ELCA QB is fine and will play vs Landmark.
November 3rd, 2012
2:57 pm
Seminole co is not 20th in the rankings we are 18th with this win we should move up
November 3rd, 2012
4:53 pm
If the power rankings breaks the tie for the Region 4 Championship. I want to be the first to congratulate the Dooly County Bobcats! Go Cats!!
November 3rd, 2012
6:02 pm
@ TCDOG25 …. I hear ya !! …. I'm ready right now for the ELCA / Landmark game. Get online Friday night and let me know how the game went. I'll do the same. Wish y'all the best …. you've got me believing in y'all now !!
November 4th, 2012
8:03 am
@ Swamp Lizard I will give you an update online friday.
November 4th, 2012
9:33 am
With the win, Lincoln County sets a new state record for region championships at 37. They broke their own record of 36 set last season. However, Wilkinson is a beast of a team and will make it far into the playoffs.
November 4th, 2012
10:45 am
@ Class A Wizard … I'd sure like to see ELCA have a shot a Lincoln Co …. or ECI … or Wilcox Co. Ya see where I'm headed with that? How is it going to feel "IF" Lincoln Co wins the state PUBLIC Championship … then look across the field and wonder IF they could beat ELCA ( or whoever ) wins the state PRIVATE Championship.
It is the PUBLIC schools that feel inferior to the PRIVATE schools …. & it's a shame.
November 4th, 2012
12:14 pm
The underdog is always the biggest threat because they are often overlooked and unprepared for. the ELCA vs Landmark Christian game will be the biggest in1A public or private. These two are the teams to beat. These two are fighters with great coaching and great athletes and they are playing for a region championship both undefeated in the region. You may be even viewing the state championship match up. A fierce rivalry and the essence of high school football. Young men playing their hearts out for one another and ther school. It doesnt get any better than this!!!
November 4th, 2012
12:17 pm
@Swamp Lizard, No Region should have 5 teams in. Clinch is fixing to finish below .500 in there region. Come on, where on the other hand, we won our sub region (private schools are in our regions) and we were not one of the crying group who had it changed. we are having a turn around year. would be in playoffs any other year until now / Now its set up like College, BCS B(((S**t. Powers that be tell us we prob wont make the playoffs.
November 4th, 2012
1:27 pm
@ I wonder fan … I agree with you 100% …. both schools have a tremendous amount of pride, both are very talented football teams, and both will play hard Friday night …. it will be a smash mouth kind of game.
November 4th, 2012
1:35 pm
@ mt. zion fan …. I didn't say it was right or that I agree with it, but if Telfair could pull off the upset against Wilcox Co and Clinch gets another win ( Turner Co ), it's possible Region 2 could have 5 teams in the playoffs. I don't like Class A spilting ( Public & Private ), and I don't like the GHSA Power Rankings. I agree with you …. a lot of this, just isn't right.
November 4th, 2012
3:02 pm
Seminole may be safely inside the top 16 (and a wildcard berth) even if they don't win this week. The victory over Miller will push their power rating up more than a full point (from 11.11 to 12.14) when the new ones come out officially on Tuesday. 16th place will be 11.32 on Tuesday.
Even with a to Mitchell this week, Seminole should end up around 11.52 (depending upon the results of their previous opponents of course) and would have to be passed by at least four teams currently below that mark.
It's possible that Seminole could still miss, but quite a bit would have to fall against them for it to happen now.
November 4th, 2012
3:13 pm
Going into this week's games the region breakdown from the expected top 16 is as follows. Keep in mind of course that a lot could (and likely will) change after this Friday, but here's where things should be going into that final regular season game.
Private + Public = Combined
R1: 0 + 2 = 2 (Miller, Seminole)
R2: 0 + 4 = 4 (Wilcox, Irwin, Charlton, Clinch)
R3: 2 + 2 = 4 (SCPS, CDS, ECI, JoCo)
R4: 1 + 3 = 4 (Brookstone, Dooly, Marion, Greenville)
R5: 3 + 0 = 3 (ELCA, Holy Inn, Landmark)
R6: 4 + 2 = 6 (Walker, Darlington, Mt. Pisgah, Whitefield, Trion, Mt.Zion)
R7: 2 + 2 = 4 (Aquinas, FPD, Lincoln, Wilkinson)
R8: 4 + 1 = 5 (Athens Academy, Prince Ave, George Walton, Athens Chr, Commerce)
November 4th, 2012
3:18 pm
One of the biggest questions that will arise after this week is how many errors are left in the MaxPreps computer/GHSA adopted power ratings. (Ask softball about those)
There may be a significant lingering error — involving the classification bonus points assigned to Mt. Zion's out-of-state opponent Ranburne, AL — that would severely cripple their playoff chances. It looks as though Ranburne has been counted as a AAA team, when by their published enrollment they might only be a Class A team under Georgia rules (which is what the power rating is supposed to consider).
November 4th, 2012
5:30 pm
@ Behind Enemy Lines …. very impressive !! Thanks for all the information and the "possible" playoff teams from each region. As I've stated eariler, there are sure to be fireworks from a few teams when the final GHSA Power Rankings come out .
November 4th, 2012
5:42 pm
@ STC …. Todd just came out with HIS Top 10 … the Class A Top 10 is a total joke. As I stated on the board ( blog ), there is no thought process behind his Class A Top 10 … he just moved #8 & #9 to #9 & # 10 … & moved #10 up two spots.
What is your take on Landmark being a Top 10 team? I personally think they should at least be ranked #10 right now …. and what about Lincoln Co ?? The body of work they've done this season is pretty impressive and he has them at #5? I think hands down #2 or #3 !!
It's just a JOKE to have ONE persons opinion on the Top 10 in the biggest newspaper in the South.
November 4th, 2012
8:29 pm
@SwampLizard re: top 10s … then again every voting member of the AP poll is just one man's opinion too. I'm not always particularly crazy about the AJC list myself but that's the beauty of the internet era, there's the AJC, the AP, at least 2 computer rankings (Maxwell and CalPreps), we can kinda shop around for a top 10 that we like.
November 4th, 2012
8:33 pm
@SwampLizard re: projections … I wish I could take all the credit but there's been a lot of work done all season over at gavsv.com and I'm just one among several who have contributed to getting ahead of the GHSA/MP release on the power ratings. At this point I have more confidence in our projections than I do in the actual releases we've seen each week (in fairness, I believe they may finally have ironed out at least 90% of the kinks, which is better than the over 1/3rd that were just flat wrong early in the season)
November 5th, 2012
1:14 am
Leave Landmark out of the top 10. Easier to surprise some people that way.
November 5th, 2012
8:36 am
Class A Wizard, Nobody, private or public, recruits as good as Liincoln Co, and Larry C. Lincoln Co. always seems to have just the position they need transfer in each year to stay competitive.
November 5th, 2012
9:00 am
@ LanFan … I think ELCA still remembers that "L" they took in the Semi's last year …. your not going to sneak up on them. It would be nice to have a Landmark / ELCA battle for the State Championship tough.
November 5th, 2012
9:27 am
@Swamp Lizard – ELCA is 0-3 vs. Lincoln County over the years (see where I'm headed with this). They'll always wonder if they could ever be as good as those Red Devils. However, I'm sure any private school in Class A could beat any Public school in Class A with all the LEGIT RECRUITS THEY HAVE!!! Maybe this is why Lincoln County lost so bad to FPD and Aquinas this year. WAIT A MINUTE!!!
November 5th, 2012
9:28 am
@Swamp: Todd's has his thoughts on the Top 10, I have mine. Sometimes our thoughts are similar, sometimes not. But you'll have to tune in to the new Class A blog and the updated Divided Top 5s (as you always do!!!) tomorrow to see my take on things!
It's Judgement Week! Should be fun, albeit dissapointing for a few teams/schools/communities.
Thanks for reading and posting!

The game this Friday night between Prince and George Walton is going to be huge! Athens Academy has the region wrapped up, but playoff position is on the line.
November 5th, 2012
10:25 am
@ Class A Wizard … Yea, I know all about those three losses … seen them myself. GAVE you a couple of those wins. I admire Lincoln Co's history …. all those Region Championships & State Championships …. ELCA has stived to be like them … like Chalton Co, Clinch Co, etc …. But Lincoln losses three years in a row to a Private school and wants to make a new set of rules ( Public / Private Championships ) …. just saying I'd love to see ELCA take them to the "woodshed" this year …. & yes it would be a "woodshed" beating.
November 5th, 2012
10:30 am
@ bucket …. Prince / GW game will be big for seeding in the playoffs. I think it's big for GW too, they want / need to assert themselves as a REAL PLAYER in the playoffs and a win over Prince Ave would do that. GW has lost a couple of close games this year to very good teams. I think a win would give them a lot of "MO" going into the playoffs.
November 5th, 2012
10:46 am
@Swamp Lizard – So your coach GAVE Lincoln County the game? I would fire that guy. And for what's it's worth, the coach in Lincoln did not advocate for a split system. That honor goes to Coach Ledford and company at Wilcox. Your speculation about beating a team is just that, speculation. There were numerous ELCA supporters who were hoping and praying that Wilkinson would beat Lincoln (see Class A vent on GAVSV), but that didn't happen.
November 5th, 2012
10:51 am
@ GAHSFBFAN24 – I believe they had 96 transfers last year alone. In fact, I know the guy that drives the bus down to Augusta each morning and picks up 40 students. I hear they give those transfers FREE TUITION! Heck, I'm gonna drive my kids five hours each way five days a week when their time comes. And don't forget, tuition is $15,000 a year at that PUBLIC SCHOOL! Get real dude.
November 5th, 2012
12:25 pm
@ Class A Wizard …. again, I admire Lincoln Co's tradition. It's a great program. Wish y'all the best on the Public side …. think it will come down to y'all, Wilcox Co & ECI.

brookstone wins region with a win next week
November 6th, 2012
8:37 am
All these ATL area teams have never given the Savannah teams any repect. Calvary Day and SCPS are easily in the top 5 teams in the state both public or private. I hate they split up the playoffs!
November 6th, 2012
9:39 am
@Swamp Lizard – I'm not from Lincoln County, nor do I cheer them on. I just face the reality of how it is team-to-team within Class A (the best Class of all in Georgia High School Football). LC has been dominating the small classification since 1960 to present (other than the five or six years they were in AA). ELCA is no doubt a great team, and COULD win their first state crown this year. However, don't sleep on those Spartans from Athens, they are dog-gone good.
November 6th, 2012
9:42 am
@Savannah FB Fan – Calvary nor SCPS are a top five team in a combined poll. ECI is gonna light 'em up Friday night. Then, ECI is gonna get taken to the woodshed in the playoffs.
November 6th, 2012
11:50 am
Class A Wizard … I've seen a little football in my time … I've played some football in my time …. & know a little about some football. Have you seen ELCA play this year? I'm not going to tell you how good I think they are right now, but I will tell you they are LOADED !!
Athens Academy …. I hear they have a pretty good "D" …. I heard they beat Our Lady of Mercy 10-7 …. the same Our Lady of Mercy that got "thumped" by ELCA 49-0.
November 6th, 2012
11:55 am
Class A Wizard …. & you might be right about ECI beating Sav Christian, but to say Sav Christian & Calvary Day are not any good? …. & to say ECI will get taken to the "woodshed" in the playoffs? What ?? …. I thought you were a Class A Wizard !!
TCDAWG ….. get on this man !!
November 6th, 2012
12:52 pm
Swamp Lizard I didn't say they "weren't any good." I said they are not a top five team in a combined Public-Private poll. ECI is playing well, but there is another team on the Public side that is going to take everyone by storm when the playoffs start. That's right, call in some help because you're no match for the Wizard.
November 6th, 2012
3:29 pm
@SwampLizard — I've seen both ELCA and Landmark play. Landmark is a good team with great individual talent and speed, but I think ELCA beats them by at least 3 touchdowns. I don't think Landmark can stop their running attack. Aside from ELCA, the Atlanta area private schools haven't impressed me this year (haven't seen Walker). The teams from west of Atlanta and Regions 3 and 8 seem to be the best this year.

You Know You're A Mother When: Sick Child
You Know You're a Mother When: Sick Child
I was flying and watched in both horror and sympathy, as a toddler got sick all over his mother mid-flight. As the mother heard her son begin to get sick, her knee-jerk reaction was to throw her hands under his chin in an attempt to catch it. Needless to say, this did nothing to contain the situation, but I was in awe of how calm she remained. After she soothed her tot, she quickly reached into her diaper bag for a pack of wipes and began cleaning up her child, the tray table and seat and finally herself. After stripping her son of his dirtied clothes, she wrapped him in her sweater and began distracting him with a game.
When we were deplaning, I stopped her to tell her how impressed I was with her swift and relaxed reaction. She looked at me and smiled, saying that in college, the sight of someone getting sick would have made her ill, but when it is your child, you just deal.
Have your reactions to behavior changed since becoming a mom?

RIGA, Latvia (AP) — At least 47 people are now confirmed dead in the collapse of a roof at a supermarket in the capital of Latvia.
Hordes of shoppers were picking up food after work at the supermarket in Riga when an enormous section of the roof caved in. Firefighters rushed in to save them, only to be crushed themselves when a second part of the roof collapsed.
Three firefighters are among the dead. Police say the death toll is expected to go even higher. In addition to those who died, another 35 people were injured.
Rescue workers are continuing the search for possible survivors. They've been periodically turning off all of their equipment and asking relatives of the missing to call their cell phones so they can try to locate them that way.
The search is proceeding slowly, since both the rubble and the remaining sections of the roof are fragile.

Tucson schools off lockdown after reports of man with gun
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Two schools on Tucson's northwest side were locked down for about two hours after a school official reported seeing a man with a handgun on campus.
Pima County Sheriff's officials said they were still searching for the man by ground and air Wednesday.
Sheriff's spokesman Tom Peine said all students are safe and the suspect is no longer on the grounds.
After the man was spotted on campus, he reportedly jumped a fence and ran toward the Picture Rocks Community Center.
Desert Winds Elementary and Picture Rocks Middle School were locked down as a precaution about 10 a.m. The lockdowns were lifted just before noon.

FLINT (WKZO) --- Add the names of four former top military and security officials to the list of people trying to win the freedom of former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati of Flint from an Iranian prison.
A letter has been sent to President Obama from former Defense Secretary William Cohen, former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Peter Pace and two others. They urge Obama to use talks with Iran over its nuclear energy program to get him back to the United States.
Hekmati has been sentenced to death and has been jailed in Iran's Evin Prison since 2011, accused of spying for the U.S. on a visit to relatives.

MANKATO, Minnesota (WXOW) -- The Vikings reported to training camp Thursday, and they do so with fresh contracts for all three of their first round picks.
Sharrif Floyd, Xavier Rhodes and Cordarrelle Patterson will all be at the first practice on Friday--so too will veterans like Chistian Ponder. Friday however, won't be Ponder's first reps since OTAs.
The Vikings' third year QB spent some time recently working with Minnesota tight-end Kyle Rudolph and Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald. Ponder said the conditioning certainly helped, but he's eager to work with a full squad.
"I'm definitely ready," he added. "Especially going to the ESPY's and seeing all those highlights of other teams and seeing Adrian out there. I'm just ready to get back to work on the football field and have a great season."
Meanwhile, Rudolph expects big things from his quarterback.
"He's definitely more comfortable," said Rudolph. "I think that comes with just being in the system over time, being around guys, being around coaches. Once you're comfortable with the Xs and Os, you can kind of relax a little bit and get a feel for the guys around you."
The Vikings kick things off with a walk through Friday morning at 10:30.

Here's John Kerry Riding a Pink Bicycle During the Gaza Crisis
It's the sort of picture you have to see to believe.
Yes, that appears to be Secretary of State John Kerry riding a pink bicycle.
The photo was snapped Sunday in Nantucket by visitor Owen Perkins, National Review reported.
While Kerry was allegedly astride the pastel-hued bike (Perkins said Kerry "wasn't too stoked" to be photographed), major developments were underway in the Gaza Strip, where Israel had pulled back ground forces but continued airstrikes.

We continue to follow the financial results of the world's leading art market data provider, Artnet. Earlier this year we saw some signs that the group was on the path to recovery. At the same time along with an improved bottom-line and a slight increase in total revenues, we noted a disturbing stagnation in the company's core segments. The firm's 9M disclosure shows that this negative trend persists.
The big picture that we saw in Artnet's Q2 report didn't change in the 9M report: the slight decline of gallery network, data and advertising revenues was offset by a rapid expansion of the online auction business. Indeed, the fact that total revenue increased to $13,367,712 from $12,602,902 during the same period of 2009 is entirely the result of the Auctions segment growing by over 250% (segment revenue for 9M 2010 was at $1,851,670 vs. $735,497 during the same period in 2009).
The company should indeed be proud of its success to date with its Auctions segment. It was a huge gamble that appears to be paying off, at least in the short term. In our December newsletter, which will be published next week, we will take a closer look at the less rosy parts of Artnet's reporting and what we can expect for the firm in the coming periods.

Here are photos from last night's sold-out Fox Theatre farewell "Happy Ending" party for Neal Boortz, who is retiring January 18 after more than four decades as a radio talk-show host:
Boortz performed "Prime the Pump' with his friends and favorite band Banks & Shane. "I remembered all the words!" he said afterwards.
Neal Boortz didn't delve into politics Saturday at his sold-out farewell party at the Fox Theatre, his topic of choice for more than four decades on the radio, from the Vietnam War to the current gun-control debate.
Rather, he absorbed gentle ribbing and kind words from his friends, reminisced about his favorite pranks and jokes he played on his colleagues and thanked his staff and late sidekick Royal Marshall, who died unexpectedly two years ago.
"I loved that man more than anybody I'm not related to," Boortz said. "I would sit in a room with him in the studio during a news break. He'd be carrying on and raising hell. I'd look at him and think, 'Damn, I just love him.' I never said it. You know how much I'd like to be able to say that to him now."
He received a surprise video tribute from talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, a video tribute to the tune of OneRepublic's "Good Life" (including photos of him with hair) and a song about him from the Atlanta band Banks & Shane.
Boortz retires from his syndicated radio show (heard locally on AM 750 and 95.5FM News/Talk WSB) on Friday, January 18. He will be replaced by former presidential candidate Herman Cain. (He said the original departure date was January 21 but he decided to just call into Cain's show on Inauguration Day.)
Boortz told Cain on stage that "I would not have retired if you were going up there to do that job – unless I was to work for you."
"I can't retire because you didn't get the job," Jeff Foxworthy cracked on stage.
Monica Pearson, who worked at Channel 2 Action News for 37 years until last year, said Boortz convinced his radio audience over the years that she had a hot tub in her office. "I didn't even have an office!" she said. "I had a cubbyhole!"
Fox News personality and fellow syndicated radio host Sean Hannity said when he competed against Boortz as a host on WGST-AM in the early 1990s, he remembered hearing Boortz teasing his 9 a.m. show on Scott Slade's show at 6:15 a.m. "I realized I had to get into work earlier," he said.
But he also realized Boortz was giving Hannity a blueprint for his upcoming show so he'd use that as a guide for his own show. One time, he gleefully poached a guest, O.J. Simpson's attorney Robert Shapiro – much to Boortz's chagrin.
On stage, Boortz said Hannity did the smartest thing by moving to New York after his stint at WGST. He said as a Southerner, he faced difficulty getting stations outside of the region to take his show. (Boortz' program is now heard on more than 230 stations, though he continues to get more love from the South.)
Slade said Boortz's work ethic was unquenchable. He typically arrived to work three to four hours early to prepare for the day.
"He doesn't suffer fools gladly," said Slade. "But if he likes you, he sets you up to look good. He always lifts you up."
Foxworthy used to sub in for Boortz on his show but said he was "too nice." Foxworthy did a 20-minute comedy set that with a few light zingers toward Boortz, who over the past three years has worked more from his home studio in Naples than Atlanta.
"I don't know why Neal is retiring," Foxworthy told the audience. "He sits in his house drinking coffee and talking on the phone for four hours every morning. You throw on a robe and a pack of Virginia Slims and he's my mother-in-law!"
Anyone going on stage was asked to wear black-tie formal outfits for the event. Boortz, ever the rebel, came to the theater in a Hawaiian shirt but eventually donned a tux (minus a tie.)
Surprisingly, consumer advocate and self-proclaimed "cheapskate" Clark Howard showed up in a tuxedo, but he didn't break the bank: he said he paid $79 at K&G Formalwear for a polyester Sean Jean.
At the end of the show, Boortz told the producers he was going to ignore their five-minute time limit and gave a 15-minute speech, which included a loving tribute to his late dog Coco and touching words about his wife Donna, who tearfully watched from the front row.
"I don't sound like this on the radio," Boortz said, "but maybe that's somebody else. She taught me the joy of giving, how great it feels to find somebody else in a desperate situation and helping them out… She's the most amazing person I've ever known. I love you sweetie."
Boortz said he couldn't wait to hit the RV with her and travel the country.
His producer Belinda Skelton said afterwards that she sensed when Boortz was running out of steam on stage and voluntarily charged onto the stage, signaling the end of the show.
News/Talk WSB is owned by Cox Media Group, which includes the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

I didn't always agree with Neal's opinions, but I'll miss his show. He was a fun host. The new WSB line-up, with no Neal in the morning and no Clark in the afternoon… means no me as a listener as I drive around Atlanta (I only listen to radio when alone in my car).
January 13th, 2013

I'm surprised there was room in the Fox for all of those bloated egos.
January 13th, 2013
11:58 am
Same for me… the only reason I even listen to the radio rather than my ipod or satellite was to hear Boortz…I've tried to listen to the replacements (Cain, Erickson)…hardly worth listening to…sorry
January 13th, 2013
12:02 pm
Everything must change and personally, I'll miss Neal but I look forward to what the future holds for Herman, Rush, Sean, Eric and Clark. Long live WSB!

12:11 pm
Great show, had a good time there. Had a few slow parts but all in all had a good time there.
El Rushbo had a cameo via video to give Neal a farewell, and Larry the Cable Guy wrote some notes on paper plates that Jeff Foxworthy delivered that was classic Larry.
Best of luck Neal, I'll miss listening to you.

Good riddance.

It's "myrmidon" you troglodite. No wonder you didn't appreciate Boortz. You're not smart enough. Go back to your cave.
January 13th, 2013

Glad to be rid of that disgusting piece of white trash. I just wish he'd take all his stinkin' celebrity supporters with him to what whatever corner of Hell he's going to.

Not so fast, Manners… it's troglodyte.

The only other radio host who can show the hypocrisy of the Left with humor is Rush. Hopefully, someone will come along with the same entertaining way of making us laugh at Liberals and Proggies.
January 13th, 2013
2:07 pm
AU LIBERAL IN ATL…..you are certainly a tolerant SOB
January 13th, 2013
2:08 pm
I didn't always agree with him, but one thing you have to say about him: He never pandered for listeners, either you listened or didn't. He never changed his views just to get listeners. You can't say that about Maher, Matthews or any of the liberal, more government is better type talking heads.
January 13th, 2013
2:29 pm
I'll miss Neal – weekday mornings in Atlanta won't be the same without him. However, the year of talking dangerously has been a wonderful, entertaining and straight forward year in radio. AMF!
January 13th, 2013

Good riddance Boortz.
F'g jerk. I expect the airways will smell a bit fresher now.

Where are all you liberals that claim to be so tolerant? I guess not as tolerant as you thought you were, huh.. Neil's radio program was just like your TV remote. You could simple change the channel. Better yet, not even tune to WSB until his show was over. Liberals always show their colors in the end, and I mean, in the end!

Neal, will miss you on my late night radio I-pod listenting. However, hate to say this but I could never tolerate Belinda and her groveling.
January 13th, 2013
4:49 pm
I can't believe so many of you took his shtick seriously, he certainly didn't. If they tell you up front that they are full of it and you believe them anyway who is the fool?

January 13th, 2013
5:25 pm
I've listened to Neal for about 20 years, though I don't agree with him on much. In recent years, his illogical and overwrought hatred for Obama has ruined his show. Retiring is for the best. His replacements, however, are boring as hell.
January 13th, 2013
5:41 pm
The conservative movement is really losing something here–and I say this as an avowed liberal.
Unlike many of his peers, Boortz doesn't participate in the war on women: he's pro-choice, doesn't offer anti-gay rhetoric, and recognizes creationists as anti-science. The whole party needs to take a page from his social libertarianism, and it's shame he's the one going while Limbaugh, Hannity, et al gibber on and on.
January 13th, 2013
5:54 pm
Boortz's bio says he "finished at A&M in 1967." That's Texas A&M. He "finished" by flunking out. Guess that means "graduated" in his terms, huh?
Boortz wants you to think he'd have done his part during the Vietnam War, but the military "wouldn't have me." He's claimed that he couldn't get into the military because of 1) vision problems, or 2) asthma.
The truth came out after Frank Kaner, a Vietnam vet from Atlanta. Boortz received a 1-D deferment in 1964. That deferment was given to those enrolled in programs such as ROTC. Trouble is, during most of the time Boortz had the deferment, he wasn't in a military program and therefore was ineligible. In February 1968, he received a new deferment, 3-A, given to those with children or other dependents.
According to the records we turned up, Boortz never had a 4-F medical deferment for vision, asthma or anything else. Last week, Dan Amon, a spokesman for the Selective Service, reconfirmed that Boortz rated only the 1-D and 3-A classifications.
Hope you all enjoyed giving your money to this liar. Gotta give it to Neal; pimped you guys to the end.
January 13th, 2013
6:10 pm
I am a Ga. liberal and have been listening to Boortz since 1971. I agree with him about 10% of the time, but the guy is entertaining. I have also met him and he is nothing like the hateful right winger he acts like on the air. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I will miss him, I wish WSB had a decent replacement, but Cain is not even close.
January 13th, 2013
6:19 pm
Funny how some people took Neal seriously on every topic and hung on every word. Did you consider he was an entertainer and made a great living as such A&M or not.
January 13th, 2013
6:20 pm
Now if only Boortz would do a "Charles Schultz" special and shuffle off the mortal coil the day after retiring. Alternatively, I wish him a long, slow, painful decline.
January 13th, 2013
6:31 pm
He has done a great job at making Americans wake up and value conservative principles.
January 13th, 2013
6:34 pm
Boretz claims he has 6 million devoted listeners but can't get a few thousand to sign their names to a crumby online petition. He, like his buddy Hannity, is a phony whose time has passed. His "retirement" is his way of saving face.
January 13th, 2013
6:44 pm
Too cowardly to call himself a Republican. Too cowardly to speak his mind where his opinions ran afoul of the GOP talking points. Yes, he had a good sense of humor, which he often wielded after being skewered. But his lack of tolerance, his adherence to principles that we left behind in the 40's…good riddance.
Damn, I miss Royal Marshall though. What a lovely man; the antithesis of Boortz.
January 13th, 2013
6:46 pm
About the best thing I can say about Boortz and the many others on the air doing the same thing is that they are irresponsible, at worst they are self serving cretins making bags of money off the unthinking population while doing considerable damage to the country and its institutions. They should be reviled and not honored and will judged harshly by history, people will change their names to avoid being recognised as their descendants.
January 13th, 2013
6:51 pm
Was Monica Pearson the only Black there? It appears so from the pics and that wouldn't surprise me to be honest. Re his retirement, I think it's time but I know that Herman Cain will not last long. He does not have the wit of Neal Boortz and will not be able to sustain an audience. Honestly, I have not listened to Boortz in a while. Seems like when Obama ran for office, something turned and his show became so full of hate and over-the-top rhetoric (none of it based on fact because Obama has continued the Bush wars which Boortz so loved) and I couldn't bear to listen. Pre Obama though, I have to admit, Boortz introduced more than anyone to me how to be an independent thinker. He was more tolerablel than racist Rush and true-believing Hannity because of his libertarian strain. He was a Republican (he always voted for Republicans) with a libertarian bent and I liked hearing his libertarian side. He will be missed, but it's time to move on. I give Cain less than six months though. Ratings will likely tank and he will be replaced by racist Eric Ericson.
January 13th, 2013
6:53 pm
What wonderful photos and memories! Will miss you so much, Talkmaster! You did everything you could to keep America on track and informed. You have been the voice we have needed and the inspiration we will carry forward into this uncertain future.
May God bless the Queen and you in your retirement!
January 13th, 2013
7:01 pm
I love it! Boortz pissing off liberals to the end! All the ones on here burning up. So mad that Boortz had 42 years of fame and riches in his career achieving more than anyone with opposing ideas could imagine. They are mad and hate him for it…..but nothing they can do now.
January 13th, 2013
7:02 pm
Been in GA 12 years. Going to be weird not listening to Neal.
January 13th, 2013
7:03 pm
He hated Obama ….racist!
I hope half the people on here are being sarcastic since this is laughed at by everyone but them.
I hate Obama….I guess I'm racist. Wait! I'm black!

Wan U Extra Credit
List and describe two or three insights that you are taking away from our class? (These can be as major or as minor as you like.)
First and foremost, I am walking away with an education about myself and others that most people in this life are not privy to. I have learned about a score of health, political, ethical, psychological, and sociological issues while studying for this class. I have learned to not interpret the issues separately, but rather in relationship to each other. Nothing exists singularly (as far as I can tell), and that's probably the most important thing any course could give me.
Because of this education, I am also walking away as an authority of my own health, and with a responsibility to always stay informed/ to help disseminate that information in any credible way that I can. This may not be something everyone that took this class walks away with, and I think that is okay. I just always feel responsible for my person, and also personally responsible.
How do you imagine that this class might impact your future practices? (artmaking, research, health-related, etc.)
I answered the first question before I read this question. Note to self: Always read all questions of an assignment like this, before answering (there's one way my practice might change).
Anyway, obviously the above gives some insight to this question, but more specifically my practice has already changed in that I am currently making work that is more about disseminating information that I have learned either in this class directly, or because of this class, by way of zine/ comic format.
In a similar way to that of how I no longer view ideas/ problems as separate, I also do not any longer view my practices as separate: vocational, artistic, community, relationship, etc.- they all belong to one another in a way that I can no longer carry them out as if they don't. Like Audre' Lorde sort of said, I've learned the ways different things are the same by the ways they all lie in me.
How can this course be improved? What are its strengths and weaknesses?
This is a really hard question for me to answer, because I feel like my time spent inside this class was perfection.
I think it would be nice if it were longer- a year long possibly, or six hour long sessions for one semester.
I also think it would benefit from being offered more frequently, but I don't know if more than 2 times a year is an option.
Describe one or two courses you wish were offered at SAIC.
Oh my goodness, please teach a sister class to the Wandering Uterus, that will operate more specifically around developing the ideas we explored in a studio practice. It could actually be a studio course, and then I would get to spend six hours with you a week AND have academic accountability for the things this class has helped me want to accomplish. How awesome would that be?
What do you feel are the biggest challenges/barriers to good health among your SAIC friends and colleagues (including professors)?
Honestly, a lack of education to some extent, but more so the stigma that self-deprecation is somehow a valuable thing to artists/ college aged people.
We starve ourselves of food, sleep, and basic needs for our vitality, and not only expect ourselves to be productive despite this, but because of this. The temporality with which we view our now, obstructs our future health, as we think of our daily decisions as separate to the person we will someday be.
I know this is a major generalization, but after holding a position as a resident advisor at this school and working closely with both students and faculty to understand and help this student body with issues such as these, I actually feel comfortable making this generalization.


text: Man, the last few days have been rough. Really rough. Going through some really tough stuff right now and was so exhausted that I have been choosing convenience over quality as far as good goes. Two days. Today was it though. Getting through this crap will not be made any easier by, a. feeling sorry for myself, or b. eating crap. I need my body to be strong and clean eating will do that. It's amazing how life can change in a heartbeat and its amazing how being mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy can keep you prepared for all of it. Good and bad. The non smoking thing was going great, but I did slip yesterday and bummed one from a friend. I feel guilty, but all I can do about it now is not do that again!

Hopkins County authorities have released new video of an altercation we told you about in May.
They say it shows Pastor Jay Shuck pointing a loaded gun at family members, including grandchildren.
Officials say Shuck had to be tased during his arrest, and that he assaulted officers.
A Facebook page at the time of Shuck's arrest said he was the pastor at Parkview United Methodist Church in Madisonville.
Shuck remains in the Hopkins County Jail. Officials say was sentenced to spend a year there.
His charges included wanton endangerment and assault on a police officer.

TSN.ca NFL Editor Justin Boone runs down the top waiver wire pickups with a focus on the coming week and rest of the season.
Ryan Fitzpatrick (vs. Titans)If you've been following the Bills, you know that things haven't exactly gone Fitzpatrick's way in the last two weeks. After leading the NFL in touchdowns through four games, he fell back to earth against two very stout defences (49ers, Cardinals) on the road. The antidote for what ails Fitzpatrick is on the way, as the Bills head back home and welcome the Titans' defence that is more than happy to let teams catch passing touchdowns. The Titans are allowing just under 300 passing yards per game and have given up the fifth most touchdowns through the air.
Josh Freeman (vs. Saints)After a slow start to the year, Freeman's arm has come alive in his last two games, throwing for 627 yards and four touchdowns. His opponents in those games (Redskins, Chiefs) weren't exactly elite defences, but neither is the Saints team that Freeman will face this week. The Saints are 26th against the pass and have struggled under new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. The added bonus is that Freeman will have to outscore Drew Brees and company, forcing the Bucs to open up their offence even more.
Others to consider - Brandon Weeden (at Colts), Sam Bradford (vs. Packers), John Skelton (at Vikings)
Felix Jones (at Panthers)Everything is coming up Felix. First, he had a solid cameo on the season premiere of fantasy football sitcom The League, where he was genuinely funny. Then, he stepped in for an injured DeMarco Murray and rattled off 105 yards on 19 touches and found the end zone. The Panthers have been kind to opposing rushers, offering up 127.4 yards per game on the ground. Murray will likely miss a week or two and with bye weeks in full swing, Jones could be the perfect temporary solution for your team.
Daryl Richardson (vs. Packers)For the second time this season, Richardson eclipsed 100 combined yards, playing behind veteran Steven Jackson. New head coach Jeff Fisher has given the seventh round draft pick plenty of work early in the season, taking advantage of the speed and elusiveness that he brings to the field. While it would still take a Jackson injury for Richardson to become a fantasy starter, he may be an option for desperate teams in search of bye week help, or in deeper leagues as a stash and see player.
Others to consider - William Powell (at Vikings), LeGarrette Blount (vs. Saints), Phillip Tanner (at Panthers), Montario Hardesty (at Colts), Mike Goodson (vs. Jaguars)
Josh Gordon (at Colts)The Browns made a significant investment when they selected Gordon in the second round of the supplemental draft, forfeiting next year's second rounder. Early in the season that looked like another Browns' personnel error, but in the last two games Gordon has shown flashes of being a contributor on offence. A week after catching two passes that were both touchdowns and went for a total of 82 yards, Gordon delivered an encore performance hauling in three balls for 99 yards and a score. With Brandon Weeden unafraid to take chances down field, Gordon will still need to hit on the big play in order to be worthy of a fantasy start, but the same could be said of Torrey Smith during his rookie season a year ago.
Brandon Gibson/Chris Givens (vs. Packers)With Danny Amendola out, Gibson looks like the safer play in the Rams' receiving corps. Gibson had seven receptions for 91 yards against the Dolphins, while Givens was still reliant on the deep ball, catching three passes for 85 yards. Sam Bradford is a better quarterback than people give him credit for and every week one of these two receivers is going to be a solid fantasy play, but figuring out who that is will depend on the team's gameplan. I tend to favour talent, which leads me to Givens, but the rookie is raw and Gibson will be more dependable.
Others to consider - Devery Henderson (at Buccaneers), Doug Baldwin (at 49ers), Stephen Hill (at Patriots)
Brandon Myers (vs. Jaguars)The truth is there aren't many options this time of year as far as tight ends go on the waiver wire. The early season surprises have been claimed and now you are left digging through the dumpster for what remains. Myers isn't going to win you a week, but he has yardage totals of 55, 86, and 65 in the last three games, while catching on average five passes per game. Myers has yet to reach the end zone, but if you're looking for a one week filler, then he is likely the best option out there.
Others to consider - Coby Fleener (vs. Browns), Tony Scheffler (at Bears), Lance Kendricks (vs. Packers)

Difficulty: Easy
1 bag of Navel oranges*
1 bag of grapefruit, pink if possible, as they are more colorful*
1 large fresh pineapple (I use 1 large can of pineapple chunks in pineapple juice, 20 oz. can or more or less to taste)
1 jar of maraschino cherries, drained and cut in halves, optional
1 small call of flaked coconut (3 ½ oz), optional
1 cup chopped pecans, optional
sliced bananas, optional
* Your best friend when preparing this dish is a good, sharp knife. I use a filet knife; the blade is long but narrow and lightweight and very sharp.
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the pith (the white lining under the skin), discarding the pith and the peeling.
Over a large bowl, section the oranges, removing the membranes, any pith left and the seeds, retaining all of the pulp and juice.
Over the same bowl repeat the process for the grapefruit mixing the fruit sections together. Add the fresh, peeled, cored and chopped pineapple or add the canned pineapple including the juice. Stir well to blend the fruits and the juices. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Many families like to add other fruit and nuts such as the cherries, coconut, bananas and/or pecans. You may want to serve these additions in small bowls beside the fruit and let each make their own combination. The bananas, coconut and pecans will soften if you have leftovers, so I like to leave the oranges, grapefruit and pineapple separate. These three will keep 3 days easily in the refrigerator.
Yield is based on the size of bags that you purchase.
Looks wonderful. Can't wait to make.

Oh my! This is very close to my late grandmother's recipe. Thanksgiving is not complete without ambrosia (no mayo, marshmallows, or whipped cream, please). She would use these ingredients, and sometimes add a can of drained fruit cocktail. Love it!
By Alice on November 28, 2013
The best Ambrosia salad. No nasty frills like mini marshmallows, cool whip, etc. If you're looking for the classic, old timey ambrosia salad, this is pretty darn close. A tiny bit of sherry or vodka really helps those flavored come together. Thank you for the recipe!

I dearly love this stuff! It is not a good Christmas dinner without it.
By Teresa Crowe on November 29, 2012
This was so much easier to make than I thought it would be. It took some time to segment all the citrus, but the process was easy thanks to the little tutorial. The result was delicious! I mixed in the seeds from a pomegrante instead of adding cherries, which was so beautiful and upped the 'healthy' factor. I also forgot the banana, but loved the pecans and flaked coconut. This was a big hit for our Christmas morning breakfast.
By Courtney on December 27, 2011
Dear Paula, I grew up in NJ and this dish is always a family favorite, but try 2 16oz cans of manderin oranges(drained), i drained can of fruit cocktail, 1 bag coconut, 2 jars of marischinos ( 1 to mix and 1 to decorate on top),1 tub of cool whip, 1 bag of mini marshmellows and tell me what you think!I love you and your ideas, i dvr ur show and have made many of your dishes.Love love love it!

With the Main St. Fort Worth Arts Festival and other outdoor events scheduled
this weekend, forecasters are warning everyone to pay attention to the
There is a chance of severe
weather Sunday that could rival the three storms on April 3 that produced
three tornadoes in Collin, Hunt and Hopkins counties and softball-sized hail in
"I will say there is potential for hail, damaging winds and tornadoes," said
Jesse Moore, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
"We could be looking at something similar to what we saw on April 3."
Storms are expected to form along a dryline west of Dallas-Fort Worth on Sunday and
then push through the area Sunday afternoon. The area with the highest chance
for tornadoes appears to be north of the DFW area along the Red River and into
Oklahoma — but that could change between now and Sunday.
Storms could also form ahead of the dryline Sunday morning.
"There's a chance those storms Sunday morning could also produce hail," Moore
Moore is urging North Texas residents to pay attention to the weather
forecasts on Saturday night and Sunday morning before heading outdoors on
Even if the tornadoes stay north of the DFW area, Moore said you could still
see damage from wind and hail. During the April 3 storms, which caused an
estimated $300 million in damage, wind gusts were reported as high as 82 mph at
Denton Municipal Airport.
"Keep up with the weather. There is that potential for severe weather, and
remember you also have risks for lightning and strong winds," Moore said. "If
you just have straight-line winds, it can still do damage."
Will the storms help ease the drought? That remains to be seen.
Some areas may pick up as much as an inch of rain but the storms will be more
scattered west of the DFW area.
"I think east of the I-35 corridor, there will be pretty good coverage but to
the west it will be more scattered," Moore said.
Before the storms arrive on Sunday, it will be warm and windy on Saturday
with a high in the mid-80s. Once the storms pass on Sunday, a cold front will
blow through the area dropping low temperatures into the upper 40s on Monday
morning. Highs will be in the low 60s on Monday morning.
The Main St. Fort Worth Arts Festival, which began Thursday, continues
through Sunday in downtown Fort Worth.Bill Hanna

Loving God, who restored the Christian faith of Charles de Foucauld through an encounter with Islam in North Africa and sustained him in the desert where he converted many with his witness of presence: Help us to know you wherever we find you, that with him, we may be faithful unto death; through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
