Oregon Advocates Push Four-Year Licenses For People In The Country Illegally
By Chris Lehman
SALEM, Ore. – Oregon, like most states, doesn't allow you to get a drivers' license if you're in the country illegally. That may change. As Congress debates immigration reform, Oregon lawmakers are considering a measure that would grant four-year driving privileges to people who otherwise wouldn't qualify for a license. The measure is up for a committee vote Monday.
This isn't the first immigration issue Oregon lawmakers are taking up this session. On the same day the drivers license measure was introduced, Governor John Kitzhaber signed into law a bill that will grant in-state college tuition rates to Oregon students whose parents brought them here illegally. But Reyna Lopez with the immigrant advocacy group CAUSA says when she talks to people...
Reyna Lopez: "The number one issue that people—in the Latino community, at least—are talking about are 'la licensias.' It's affected our parents being able to take their kids to school, being able to drive to church on Sundays, being able to get to their doctors' appointments."
And being able to drive to work. That's one reason why at least one business group is behind the measure.
Jeff Stone: "We first and foremost believe it's a public safety issue."
Jeff Stone of the Oregon Association of Nurseries says the drivers' license bill would mean more people could take a driving test and get insurance. Stone says the nursery industry employs more than 20,000 people in Oregon. He says the measure includes safeguards to minimize abuse. The licenses wouldn't be valid as ID to board an airplane, for instance. They'd be good for four years instead of the usual eight. And…
Jeff Stone: "You have to prove that you've been here a year. So folks flooding in from other states just to get a drivers' license is not how this bill's been constructed, nor will it reward folks like that."
But Jim Ludwick of the group Oregonians for Immigration Reform isn't convinced. He says sure, there may be limits, but Oregon would still be hanging out a giant welcome sign.
Jim Ludwick: "Even if they've been here for a year or ten years, they're still illegally here. If you reward illegal activity, you're going to encourage more of it."
Washington is one of a handful of states that doesn't make you prove you're in the country legally to get a drivers' license. The Oregon measure has bipartisan support, but has yet to receive a floor vote.

Product Details
Would you like to give feedback on images?.
The almanac portion of the booklet is laid out alphabetically, so while playing you can find answers to specific questions quickly. Useful entries remind you exactly what role pieces like the robber play, how actions like maritime trade work, and how to set up the board or finish the game.
Exploring and Developing Catan
The board consists of 19 terrain hexes surrounded by the ocean. Each type of terrain produces a different type of resource: brick, wool, ore, grain or lumber. There's also a desert hex that produces no resources. As the game progresses, players use resources to build roads along the edges of these hexes and settlements or cities on the intersections where three hexes meet. Each player begins the game with two settlements and two roads.
Each player's roll of the dice causes certain hexes to produce resources, which you collect if you have a settlement on one of them. On your turn, you'll use various combinations of the resources you've acquired to build new roads and settlements, upgrade settlements to cities, or purchase development cards. The ability to trade resources with other players adds a new level of strategy and ensures that the game includes lots of interaction between players. You can also trade without worrying about other players using an unfavorable maritime trade rate. Elements including a robber piece that lets you steal from other players and a variety of development cards add intrigue to the game.
The objective of The Settlers of Catan is to be the first one who collects 10 victory points. Each settlement is worth one victory point and each city is worth two victory points. You can also earn victory points by holding the "Longest Road" card, the "Largest Army" card, or special victory point development cards.
Best-Selling Game of the Year
It's easy to see why The Settlers of Catan has been recognized as a best-selling Game of the Year in both Germany and the U. S. We found this game to be fun and engaging for both children and adults, and the variable nature of the playing field really made us want to play again and again. When we started pausing to contemplate our opponents' strategy and factoring the probability of different dice rolls into our moves, the game sometimes took longer than expected, but we were so engrossed we didn't even notice until it was all over.
Due to the widespread popularity of the original game, several expansion sets (sold separately) are available that allow you to explore new aspects of the game or add more players. The only downside to this game is that you need to have either three or four players to play, so it's great that expansion sets are available that will allow you to add players.
What's in the Box
Six sea frame pieces, 19 terrain hexes, nine harbor pieces, 18 circular number tokens, 126 game cards, 16 cities, 20 settlements, 60 roads, two dice, a robber and a rules and almanac booklet.
I highly recommend it to anyone that likes to play games with friends or family.
I was introduced to this game a few years ago at a family gathering and now every time we get together this is the game everyone wants to play.
This is a very unique game that is easy to learn and you can use a variety of strategies each time you play.

The Falcons enter their bye week as the only undefeated team in the NFL with a two-victory lead over the rest of the NFC.
They don't talk like a 6-0 squad, though, because they have hardly looked the part of a juggernaut.
That's probably why, following Atlanta's 23-20 victory over Oakland on Sunday, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan cited the team's undefeated record on the one hand and acknowledged troublesome trends on the other.
"We've been good enough to win and at the end of the day, that's what you need to do," Ryan said. "I think it's going to be important for us, this bye week, to try and find ways for us to play our best and to look critically at ourselves and try and improve."
Style doesn't count in the standings, but the quality of Atlanta's play is regressing even as the victories keep coming.
Atlanta's problems both running the ball and stopping the run are still apparent and the secondary's knack for making big plays has masked problems with pass coverage and tackling. Atlanta's offensive line play has been inconsistent and the limitations of a pass-heavy offense reliant on Ryan are starting to show.
The Falcons have some time to sort things out. Their next game is Oct. 28 at Philadelphia.
"Our goal is try to be better tomorrow than today," Falcons coach Mike Smith said Monday. "There are times that we take steps forward and times we take steps back."
While earning another another victory Sunday, Atlanta took another step back after opening the season with convincing victories against the Chiefs, Broncos and Chargers. The Falcons got past Oakland (1-4) only when Matt Bryant kicked a 55-yard field goal with one second left in the game.
It was the third time in three games Atlanta had to rally to win in the fourth quarter.
"This game took a lot out of us as a defense (so) this off week, in those respects, is right on time," Falcons defensive back Dunta Robinson said. "We've still got a long season ahead of us. We are not where we want to be. We are 6-0 going into the bye (but) we know we are going to get everybody's best shot so we've got to take it to another level."
The Raiders found themselves stride for stride with the Falcons with a suddenly rejuvenated offense and some ball-hawking defense. Smith said close games between seemingly mismatched opponents and upset losses in the NFL reinforce the notion that "each week is a hard battle."
Still, the Falcons have yet to play a contender. The combined record of their six opponents, discounting their losses to Atlanta: 11-15.
Smith and his staff have plenty to work on during the off week.
Offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter prefers a balanced attack but last week said the best approach was to put the game in Ryan's hands because the quarterback's play had been superlative. That strategy didn't pay dividends against Oakland; Ryan wasn't as sharp while tossing three interceptions.
Ryan faced a heavy pass rush and Atlanta had virtually no running game to relieve the pressure. Ryan's 15-yard scramble was its longest run of the game. The Falcons totaled 45 yards on 15 attempts after gaining 83 yards on 28 attempts at Washington the week before.
Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, stressing that winning is the bottom line, acknowledges that his unit's struggles to stop the run could eventually cost the Falcons. That nearly happened against the Raiders, who churned out 149 yards on 32 attempts. Shoddy tackling has become another issue.
The Falcons will address those weaknesses and others.
"I think the really good thing about this football team is they are not satisfied," Smith said. "There is a desire in there to play better football. We've been very fortunate."

It is always fun to FIRST !!!!..As predicted the center of our defense is soft and vulnerable. Our OL is really struggling. Yes we are lucky to be 6-0 and I hope we can continue. However, we must become better at stopping the run and more aggressive in our pursuit of the opposing QB. I do belive M Turner has lost a step and J Rodgers is not-Warrick Dunn. Eagles prediction 24-21 ..Angry Birds…RISE UP

Every single day, EVERY single day, I see some article from the AJC about how Atlanta doesn't deserve its undefeated record. You know what, THEY scored more points than their opponents, that's all that matters in the NFL. We aren't looking to break the Dolphins records here, I think I speak for all of the fans, and all the players when I say, we have ONE goal, the Superbowl. The fact is, Atlanta is closer to the homefield in the playoffs than Anybody else. Keep it up Falcons! I don't care how you win, and please beat that Joke of a QB up in Philly!

RUN THE BALL!!!!! Turner started off strong then we absolutely forgot about him. He has always been a guy that needs 20+ carries to be effective because he wears down defenses. Start Mike Pete at Mlb!!Daunte has been quite the surprise this season. Our safeties are unbelievable and have saved touchdown after touchdown as the opposing runnin backs have embarassed our front 7. THANK GOD FOR #55. To think I was advocatin lettin him go this offseason(monetary reasons). He is playing like he wants a ring AND a bust in canton. 20 more sacks and hes a lock

It is obvious that it is a slow Falcons news story week since the Falcons have a bye week. So, now is the time that all of the stories will be surfacing about how the team has not earned the 6 and 0 record…..e.g., it's just luck….haven't played a team with a winning record, etc……
In the big scheme of things…..DOES IT REALLY MATTER HOW THEY WIN?…..BUT THAT THEY DO WIN THE GAMES!!!!!! GO FALCONS!!!!!
October 16th, 2012
12:40 pm
I hear ya Michael M.lol Some is negative but some is true. Although Turner is damn near a shell of his former self, we still need him in the run game. He honestly looked like he could have gotten going against Oakland. We got too pass happy. Quizz is starting to show he may not be the back of the future for us as far as the workhorse back. Maybe the line forgot they can run block too?lol Its just amazing to see how we've been run heavy for 4 seasons and have had almost the same group..yet this year they cant do it. I watched the line and they didnt really give ANY holes. Thats on Pat Hill to fix. Bottom line though Birdland is that we still sit 6-0 atop the NFC and have 2 weeks to fix whats going on. The real schedule starts soon so we need to be ready. I totally agree with Senior Falcon. Block, TACKLE (for the love of humanity PLEASE learn how to wrap up guys!!!), and run. I still say we're an 11-5 team. We shall soon see.
October 16th, 2012

the falcons were just flat against bad teams like carolina and oakland. When the big games come around, the falcons will be on fire. Falcons v. SF for the NFC title—book it!

12:43 pm
Dear ESPN and AJC:
I give up… you win. I am no longer a proud fan of the 6-0 Falcons… a team I have followed through thick and thin, richer and poorer, in sickness and health since 1968. What was the happiest football season I had known since 1998… has become a nightmare of dark innuendo and endless speculation.
I can no longer stand the constant barrage of negativity so… congrats for destroying the marriage.
I'm going to Europe and riot with the soccer fans…
October 16th, 2012
12:50 pm
The Falcons are 6-0 and the national media is blasting them for not destroying every opponent. ABSURD! People keep talking about the playoffs but the team can't do anything about that until they get there. As of right now, THEY LOOK LIKE AN ABSOLUTE LOCK to make it. As a long suffering fan of this team, I've seen many years that these games where they are squeaking by with a victory, ended with a loss. THAT's THE DIFFERENCE PEOPLE!!! They are actually winning them this year. Only some transplanted newcomer to town would knock a 6-0 record. You really can't please those people anyway because of their alligence to THEIR home team. WHICH BY THE WAY IS NOT 6-0. So all of you displaced Katrina victims, New England migraters, and rust belt runaways can GO TO HELL…or at least back to that place that was so great that YOU HAD TO LEAVE. GO FALCONS!!!!!
October 16th, 2012
12:51 pm
We're all Falcon fans here, so we're more aware than most how fast things can go downhill. ..a crucial few injuries can be a killer–of all the fanbases in the league– we're aware of these things. We also now know how quickly it can be turned around with the right people pulling in the same direction. The whole organization has to stay focused on milestones & goals and that's a lot of folks having to "just do your job" to pull off the kind of season we're all hoping for. Practically all the problems we're having are fixable with the exception of injuries. I don't see ANY reason to break out the life vests yet….
October 16th, 2012

I would rather win ugly like the falcons, than lose ugly like my jackets!
October 16th, 2012
1:12 pm
The Falcons have a lot of work to do.. They are good.. but if we go up against the Giants right now.. we are going to get blown out of the park.. You have to figure out a way to neutralize the opponents defensive line. It is like our offensive line forgot how to run block. The holes for turner or rogers are not there. I can't for the life of me figure out why Rogers can't break one with his speed. He is questionable to me.. We will find out what we're made of when we go into Philly and then the following week Dallas at home.
October 16th, 2012
1:20 pm
I'm glad the Falcons have looked bad over the last three games..
- Keeps them humble and hungry during this bye week!!!
I can ssure you Smitty and everyone in Flowery Branch aren't patting themselves on the back. They are working even harder to improve our rushing attack, pass blocking, run stop and tackling skills before we go into a tough 4 game stretch..
We may still be learning but I 'd rather be 6-0 learning and developing than 3-3 learning and developing..
October 16th, 2012
1:25 pm
SirReal I hope we aren't a 11-5 team.. That would mean we would go 5-5 during the rest of the season, limp into the play-offs and get hammered by a hot 9-7 wildcad team…
We need to be shooting for 13-3 or better!!

Why would ESPN give you, the fan any respect? Why would it matter?
Why does it matter which team they give respect? ESPN is not responsible for who makes post season play. The teams are responsible for that. To complain about ESPN and a lack of respect is laughable.

Folks ,,, the criticism is warranted. If they can't take a team like Oakland to the woodshed at home, they will struggle mightily against the Giants or any team that makes the postseason. How can a QB like Ryan, who is a 4th quarter wizard and will give him that much, not QB sneak the ball for a TD with the ball at the 2 inch line. See last years playoff embarrassment and the NO game when he couldn't get 6 inches. Now we are starting to see them resemble who they really are, versus the first 3 games – getting bailed out by the D. Ryan is going way more to his blanky Gonzo and less to White and Jones, Turner is just not the back he once was, so I predict that they lose the next 3 games against Philly, Dallas and NO, win against AZ, lose to TB, win against NO, lose against Carolina, NYG and Detroit, and finsih with a win at home against TB ,, for a realistic 9-7 record and miss the playoffs.

Bopro … you gotta quit getting so emotional. I don't hate the Falcons, but I have my head on right about the fact that they could easily be 4-2 versus 6-0. I have followed them for a long long time and want them to win more than ever, but that doesn't mean I'm going to turn into a blind man. They are not anything to get too excited about, because they can easily be man handled like they were in the playoffs last year and against GB the year before. They definitely seem to be better coached on O & D, but that is not going to make up for the fact that Ryan lacks as a dominating QB. Great under pressure of 4th quarter, but average until then.

Reality talks, what r u smokin'. You remind me of that guy on that NFL mobile commercial. He comes in late and make a dumb ass comment, because he didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Only the Giants pose a real threat to the Falcons. Every team you picked to beat them are playing some of the worst football I've ever seen. Maybe you should get NFL Sunday Ticket. Or just watch a game every now and then. Stop watching SportCenter highlights. Then maybe you won't seem as stupid as the guy in the commercial..

Remember Jim Mora as coach? Fast starts and poor finishes. This team and coaching staff is way better. Sure, there is concern, but 6 – 8 years ago this team would begin it's mid season collapse.

I'm VERY happy that ATL is 6-0.
However, the statement, "Style doesn't count in the standings, but the quality of Atlanta's play is regressing even as the victories keep coming.", is very, very true. Speaking the truth is not being negative, unless you are speaking to a child.

Hey Y'all:
6-0 is great !! The "PROCESS" is continuing. Yes, we have some things to "FIX" on offense and defense. We have been playing together in "ONE HEARTBEAT!" as we are getting through these wins. However, the "FIXES" have to come quick for we are moving into some "FUN" and "COMPETITIVE" games in the second half of the seasons. Our offensive line have to tighten things up in the running game. They could not move the defensive line of the Raiders 2 inches at the goal line to get a touchdown. Remember, these are the same linemen from" last year" who had difficulty in moving inches against other teams in the leauge that we played last year. No offense, but they have to get better in moving defensive linemen in order to make holes. If they can't do it, let the "ROOKIES" that we drafted get a chance to see what they can do. PUT THEM IN THE FIRE TO GET BATTLE TESTED!!! We are coming down to aggressive defensive teams like the Giants, who destroyed our line last year. We will see them again, and other defensive front four like them. What changes have we made on the offensive line to beat these guys as compared to last year. They are in our way towards the Super Bowl. We better be ready to defeat them. Will our new offensive schem work to do it? I do not think so. The line currently are not busting holes for Turner or the other running backs in this offensive line blocking scheme. I believe it's the personnel. And if we are going to continue winning and getting to the Super Bowl, if they do not play better against better defensive fronts against the run and pass, then they need to be changed.
Our defensive interior needs to get more NASTY. They appear to not have the ability to shed blockers, on a consistant basis, and as a team, in getting to the running backs and the quarterback. WE NEED SOME BIG, IMMOVABLE, MOBILE OBJECTS IN THERE TACKLING RUNNERS IN THE BACKFIELD AND SACKING QUARTERBACKS. I am more than confident this will get fixed in some manner, with the addition of Corey Peter, but he will need help from the rest of the guys up there. ITS TIME TO GET DURTY AND NASTY FELLAS. THE SUPPR BOWL RUN STARTS WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THIS "BYE" WEEK. Get ready in "ONE HEARTBEAT!!!!". I HEAR YOU GUYS COMING. "THUMP!!! YOU'RE GETTING LOUDER!!! THUMP… THUMP!!!! ……..!!!!. LET'S DO THIS!!!!
This is a SECRET from a FALCON FAN!!! TELL EVERYBODY!!!!!!!

Reality Talk? 9-7, REALLY??? So the team will go 3-7 the rest of the way and miss the PO?
- I have to agree with TONYT203 that you do in fact sound like the dumbass on that tv commercial.. LOL..
Reality Talk you certainly aren't a Falcon fan so don't pretend that you support this organization..

True fans will tell their team the truth. That Coach Smith and others are saying what we already know is a start.. Geting the best out of the players we have is a moving in the right direction but until we start fixing the glaring problems our team has, we will never get any further than one and done in the playoffs. I agree with Arthur Blank when he says making it to the playoffs is not good enough.

Can we review the last two weeks of weakness? Redskins at home off a 10 day rest. 10 days versus 7 days makes a difference. Being at home makes a difference. Three advantages to Redskins: rest prep and homefield.
Oakland off the bye week. Two weeks of rest. Two weeks of prep. Home field to Atlanta.
Folks, that's two teams back to back that have been better rested and more time to prepare. YET Atlanta WON.
The only real problem I see with Atlanta is Matty Ice coming in nervous/cold. I can't tell if it's just gameday jitters or him just being off. But Ryan's performance improves through the game with his mistakes coming early on.

Okay, we're not running well. How can you justify a run set when you have Tony Gonzo, Julio and Roddy White?
October 16th, 2012

@Colonel Coo; I totally agree~! Not to mention the Birds were at home, getting ready for a losing team ahead of their own bye-week. Seems like this one was the Raiders for the taking but they just couldn't capitalize!
go birds!

This is a very good team…arguably the best Falcons team in history, but they do have some issues. The O-Line needs to protect Ryan better and open holes for Turner to run through. The D-Line needs to get better at stopping the run and our secondary has to learn to tackle better. Winning is what matters in the NFL. This isn't college, where if you barely beat a losing team, you could drop in the rankings. Whether they win "ugly" or "pretty"…it ultimately does not matter. A win is a win, but they can't play like they have been playing and expect to beat the Giants or 49ers. I'm glad they have the bye week to tweak some things, so hopefully we'll continue the winning trend no matter who we play! RISE UP FALCONS!!

The Patriots woulda had a perfect season IF the ball hadn't stuck to the crown the receiver helmet.
I would be a billionaire IF Bill Gates was my father.
The Falcons ARE 6-0 on 10-16-12, PERIOD!!
October 16th, 2012

Not too mention, who cares that we are playing sloppy ball now? This time last year the Giants were 5 – 1, then went on to loose to the 49's, Eagles, Saints and Packer's, 4 games straight! And another one to the lowly Redskins in week 15. Who give a first down what the heck the are doing now as long as they peak later!
October 16th, 2012
3:32 pm
Maybe I missed the memo…..BUT….. some of you must have acquired the ability to see into the future since you can already predict that the Falcons can't possibly beat the Giants, 49ers, or the Packers.
Between now and the playoffs (which are months away) the dynamics can greatly change, e.g., injuries, suspensions, etc.
October 16th, 2012

Not a Turner hater. He's my fantasy back and I own an authentic Turner jersey.
With that said I'm THRILLED we're winning via the pass. On our offense alone Turner would be the #5 threat (behind Ryan, Roddy, TG, and Julio). SO WHY FORCE the offense thru him?!!! Like GB, he should consider himself a complimentary piece, execute when called on (vs tiptoeing), and shut up/play ball.
A true leader will accept the role -Especially when we're winning with it- and be a professional doing it.

All these nitpickers after the win on Sunday. These blogger/columnists/so-called-"experts" need to remember that this is the NFL.
Many coaches have said that the margin for error is thissssss close in this league. Why is anyone still 'surprised" when Oakland comes in a plays the Falcons tough? Bills win at Arizona. Seattle beating New England. It happens all the time.
These writers have a lot of time on their hands and a lot of space to fill, so they come up with a breakdown of a 6-0 team. Why don't the Super Bowl Champion Giants win every game? Come on. Why are the Packers "only" 3-3? What's wrong beyond firing the DC up in Philly?
This is the NFL. There isn't going to be perfection. Not in a season. Not in a game.
Think how far the Falcons have come as a franchise since 2008. They are just now getting to the point where I think things will really begin coming together. The passing game is better equiped
to be the focal point of this team than ever before. Yes, the OL blocking and running game issues must be corrected. They will be. Quizz will continue to get more touches, as he should.
On D tackling and wrapping up will be stressed and executed. Some solid run defeders should be coming back from injury.
It will all come down to how they play against teams like the Cowboys, Giants and Saints. The Falcons must beat those teams to stay in the upper group of teams in the NFL. And then win in the playoffs.
The national media is never going to give this team a lot of love. They must go earn all they get themselves. They will be focused to do that. The Falcons are a lot more explosive this season on offense and defense. But they have not been a team that is built to blow people out. Just to win by 3-7 points in most games.
MS and Company will continue to improve and win win lots of games. They are in good hands. You can't have 34-10 every week in this league. Falcons will be just fine.

What are the challenges that gifted and creative individuals face at present?
Hi everyone! I am working on a research about the gifted and creative individuals. I'd like to know what are the challenges that the gifted and creative people experience in your country. Share your thoughts please :) Thanks!
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 15 2013: I believe that gifted and talented individuals are held back by todays financial hardships.
The increase in the price of living and education has a negative impact on the possibilities these individuals may choose in their pathway to happiness and success ,whatever that may be defined as.
It seems a struggle if you are not financially supported to really take the opportunity to make the most of their creativity and talents.
Mar 16 2013: agreed..
countries like India are starting to help their citizens with the cost of tuition, while in Mexico no bank will help you.
in others like USA this assistance is old news, yet at the gross price of tuition that they are charging each person, the student ends up in huge financial debts
that's a nightmare!

Jay Peak Resort Set to Premiere New Fall Festival
JJ Toland, email@example.com
Jay Peak
Beans? Brews?? Blowout deals??? Jay Peak will have them all (and then some) come Saturday, October 9th when the resort premieres its first, and soon-to-be annual, Bean and Brew Festival featuring a massive winter gear sale.
The new fall fest is designed to be an international celebration as it will showcase the most flavorful coffees from either side of the border (the 'Bean' portion of the event) as well as local beers from such "nano" breweries as Hill Farmstead Brewery, and Green Mountain favorites Long Trail and Harpoon. Happening in the middle of it all will be the Jay Peak Ski Club's huge ski sale with shops from New Hampshire and Vermont offering clearance deals on skis, boots, boards, bindings, poles and more. The October 9th date was selected to coincide with the United States' celebration of Columbus Day as well as the Canadian Thanksgiving.
"This is something new for Jay Peak," remarked Steve Wright, the resort's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We looked around at all of the great coffee roasters from Vermont and Quebec and all of the phenomenal beer this state has to offer, and thought having an event that puts the spotlight on them would be a great way to celebrate the fall. And with winter close behind, we figured visitors would appreciate the opportunity to take advantage of clearance deals on skis, boards, and all kinds of gear to get ready for the coming season."
Jay Peak's Bean and Brew gets underway at 10 AM on Saturday, October 9th when the doors open to the ski sale and roasters begin pouring some of their best seasonal coffees. Brewers will open the taps at 11 AM and live music from Vermont's own Copper Kettle will fill the air starting at 3 PM. $12 will buy 10 draught tickets. The ski and board sale, sponsored the Jay Peak Ski Club, will feature close to 500 pieces of gear. The "B&B" will be in Jay's International Room located beneath the resort's aerial tram. Tram rides will be offered throughout the day.
And the party does not end once the last drop is poured and the final pair of skis sold. Alice's Table restaurant will be offering an Oktoberfest-themed buffet. Located just up the steps from the B&B in the Tram Haus Lodge, the buffet will open at 5 PM and run until 9 PM. The all-you-can-eat dinner includes such Oktoberfest favorites as Geschnetzelte chicken, brats with sauerkraut, sauerbraten with gingersnaps gravy, pretzel bread, and more.
Adult tickets (ages 14 and up) are just $16.95; kids 7-13 are $10.95; and kids 6 and under eat for free.
But the weekend isn't just about beans, brews and great ski deals. The 33rd Annual Jay Peak Arts and Crafts Fair, hosted by the Jay Peak Area Chamber of Commerce, will be happening on both Saturday and Sunday. The fair will run from 10 AM to 4 PM and feature more than 40 artisans, food and drink, and live music. The arts and crafts fair will be held just down the road from the resort at the Degree Auction House in Westfield, VT. For more information call Karen O'Donnell at 802-988-4120 or visit jaypeakvermont.org

Student leaders in our area are making a difference by tackling some of the tough issues teens face.
Sitting in a classroom isn't as easy as it looks. For some students their focus is on surviving the battle once they get outside.
Seventh grader Olivia Assenat worries about what she'll face when she hits high school. She's joining 85 other students from across the area hoping to learn as much as she can from the Youth Alcohol Drug Abuse Prevention Project convention.
"I want to prepare for high school and if something bad is going on, I will know what to do and not get peer pressured into it," attending YADAPP conference Olivia Assenat says.
Junior Tammie Goode is a youth leader at this conference. She's helping younger students like Olivia make a transition she made not long ago.
"I hope I teach them, they can conquer their relationships and different peer pressure in their life," youth leader Tammie Goode says.
While another student leader, Ynise Barnes, says it wasn't long ago she was being bullied at school. This project helped her face those problems head on. Now she's paying it forward by hoping to drive this message home to the students at the conference.
"You as individual make your high school, what your high school is going to be. You can't let someone else shape it for you," YADAPP youth leader Ynise Barnes says.
Sharing that experience is exactly what Olivia and many of the other students say they took away from this day long conference.

Day two of Hopscotch 2013 is in the books! I was hoping to have a feature on Los Angeles rapper Earl Sweatshirt, but he wasn't in the mood for interviews after his set at the Lincoln Theater. So instead, here's my unofficial Top 10 Hopscotch Moments -- so far ...
1. The nonstop dance party of Holy Ghost!'s set at the Main Stage on Fayetteville Street. This New York-based synthpop act trotted out one captivating song after another Friday night. Their act sometimes seems like a throwback to the best of synth-heavy '80s and the City Plaza crowd loved every second of it.
2. Unfortunately, I began Hopscotch out on the sidewalk with several dozen of my newest friends, since the Body Games set at the Pour House was at capacity. Fortunately, I made it in for the last two songs, and their quirky/awesome cover of Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There" (complete with Free Willy video clips projected behind the band) was a perfect way to kick off the weekend. It was great to see a local act set up the rest of the festival so well.
3. The entire Local Natives set was stellar, but "Wide Eyes" took things up a notch. The studio version of this song has an intense restraint that they completely blew away on the Memorial Auditorium stage. Taylor Rice smashing his tambourine on Kelcey Ayer's cymbal as the song peaked was a great visual.
4. Earl Sweatshirt delivering some hard-driven a capella flow towards the end of his set. It had this fierceness that the Lincoln Theater crowd ate up. "Hardest verse of this year," Sweatshirt told the audience afterwards with a grin.
5. It had been a couple years since I last caught a Future Islands show, and I almost forgot how much fun it is to watch exuberant lead singer Samuel T. Herring. He's one of the best frontmen around, and his stage presence is infectious.
6. Beloved Binge had a poignant moment at the beginning of their set Thursday night at the Bekeley Cafe. You can't help but take note when the lead singer starts things off by saying, "This first song is about Alzheimers. My grandmother wrote these lyrics."
7. Co.'s set at the Berkeley Cafe was great, and chatting with lead singer Brian Hannon afterwards was often hilarious. They were happy to be playing Hopscotch and it was pretty obvious that they had a lot of fun.
8. We were in serious hustle-mode after the Local Natives set, and I'm really glad we were able to catch the end of Big Daddy Kane. The hip hop legend was a last-second addition when Action Bronson had to bow out. Walking into a breakdance contest on the Lincoln Theater stage put a smile on my face.
9. A-Trak's button mashing and disc scratching made for one hell of a party on the Main Stage. All the blinking LED shutter shades in the crowd served as a great visual tandem to the turntables on stage.
10. Carrboro's Gross Ghost was the first band to play the Main Stage and you couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere. The weather was superb and there was a buzz around Fayetteville Street before they even got started. It set things up perfectly for the rest of the night.

You heard right! THE S. Clay Wilson will be at Mission: Comics and Art signing copies of his new book Pirates in the Heartland: The Mythology of S. Clay Wilson Vol. 1. Along with Pirates writer and noted historian, Patrick Rosenkranz, the guys will be signing copies on Saturday, September 20th from 2-5pm deep in the heart of San Francisco.
Pirates in the Heartland features Wilson's work from underground publications such as ZAP Comix, Snatch, Gothic Blimp Works, Bogeyman, Felch, Insect Fear, Pork, Tales of Sex and Death, and Arcade. This first of a three-volume biography and retrospective gets to the heart and soul of an artist who lived his dreams and his nightmares. So come on out for an afternoon of good times and great comics.

As the leaves begin to turn shades of red and orange (or fall straight off and green depending on where you live), backpacks are dusted off in preparation for a new load of textbooks, and we move into fall, we figure you could use some cause for celebration. How about our Labor Day/Back-To-School Sale? We've got great titles of all-ages, young-adult, and non-fiction titles at a whopping 40% Off from Saturday, August 30th through Monday, September 1st!
For your wee ones, how about our gift-sized, baseball-themed Peanuts book, Batter Up, Charlie Brown? Or, for something a little cheekier, there's Steven Weissman's Chocolate Cheeks. For the baseball fans who want a bit more history mixed in, try 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente by Wilfred Santiago.
School can be anything you make of it, especially you don't give a damn. For the guy or girl that knows everything, try Unlovable 1 and 2 by Esther Pearl Watson. She may only break wind and not hearts, but Tammy Pierce is unstoppable. For some short stories from all walks of life, ugly and less ugly, grab Daniel Clowes' Caricature, often compared to to Nabokov for their complex naturalism and sense of humor.
For those who wish to rise above it all and forget that school ever existed, The Clouds Above is an all-ages full-color romp with a boy and his cat by Jordan Crane. Meanwhile, Barnaby by Crockett Johnson plays with some imaginary creatures including his fairy godfather. Or for something that feels a bit older, more Victorian The Sock Monkey Treasury by Tony Millionaire is for you.
So clean up on some comics to read while the kids are out at school or to distract you from the textbooks you SHOULD be reading.
This week's pre-Comic-Con warmup of Online Commentaries and Diversions:
Review: How to Be Happy by Eleanor Davis
"This collection of short stories about people desperately trying to suppress or embrace or just somehow deal with all the difficult emotions careening around in their brain just underscores what those who have seen Davis' work in scattered anthologies already suspected: that she is a tremendous talent, and one of the smartest voices working in comics today." – Chris Mautner, Robot 6
Review: Pirates in the Heartland: The Mythology of S. Clay Wilson edited by Patrick Rosenkranz
"Ultimately, Wilson is a perfect representative of the dark side of the '60s. His work crackles with the viciousness that was the flip side of flower power. If he has any message to convey, it's that the world is falling apart: that (to quote Yeats by way of Joan Didion) 'the center cannot hold.'" – Etelka Lehoczky, NPR
Review: Bomb Run and Other Stories by John Severin, Will Elder, Harvey Kurtzman, et al.
"What's striking about these 34 stories, written by Harvey Kutzman and illustrated with bold, deft confidence by Severin, is their range of tone. Sure, there are the expected heroics of American soldiers fighting in the relatively contemporary war zones of WWII and Korea; there are strong-jawed sergeants, good-natured grunts and daredevil flying aces. But there is also plenty of cowardice, irony, shame and sheer wastefulness–elements that must surely be part of any large-scale conflict, yet are often excised from their comic-book portrayals." – David Maine, Spectrum Culture
Review: The Heart of Thomas by Moto Hagio et al.
"The Heart of Thomas works in several different themes, many revolving around the concept of love. It asks the questions, what does it mean to love or be loved? What will we do to be loved or to help the one we love? Is it okay to accept another's love? While asking all these questions, Hagio doesn't put any conditions on them… The feelings are portrayed so genuinely that gender becomes meaningless, and just seeing the characters happy are all that's important in the end." – Lori Henderson, School Library Journal

"Part biography, part retrospective, part collected chronicles of a comic legend, this is a huge undertaking that pays off in every way you could expect, and a million ways you couldn't." – The Daily Planet
Interview: How to Be Happy by Eleanor Davis
"It's a stunning body of work that brings together loosely personal and wholly fictional stories about joy, anguish, fear and loneliness - emotions all motivated by that essential quest to be the best you can be." – James Cartwright, It's Nice That
Review: The Amateurs by Conor Stechschulte
"Stechschulte's narrative is one of shifting gears and perceptions, moving between the clutter of immediacy and the fog of recollection." – John Seven, The Comics Journal
Review: Walt Disney's Donald Duck: Trail of the Unicorn by Carl Barks
"This book contains many more examples of the sorts of stories that made him so rightly famous, including a couple of epic globe-trotting adventures, plenty of swiftly swelling domestic comedies, and two Christmas comics, which Barks seems to have specialized in." – J. Caleb Mozzocco, School Library Journal
Review: Love and Rockets: New Stories #6 by the Hernandez Brothers
"After last issue's splashy stories, this issue is a bit more low-key with regard to Killer and her story, preferring to lay some narrative pipe and give the characters a bit of room to breathe and interact." –Rob Clough, High-Low

Judgment Day and Other Stories (EC Comics Library)
192-page black & white 7.25" x 10.25" hardcover • $29.99
Will Eisner Hall of Fame artist Joe Orlando drew EC's most (in)famous science fiction story, "Judgment Day," a blunt parable about racism that triggered a blow-up with the Comics Code Authority.
Orlando was a mainstay at EC, especially on science fiction, and Judgment Day and Other Stories collects 23 of his best. All of them, most scripted by Al Feldstein, serve up clever, suspenseful O. Henry-style shock endings, including "In the Beginning…," "The Teacher from Mars," and "Fallen Idol."
Orlando and Feldstein also adapted Otto Binder's fabled Adam Link stories, starring an intelligent robot poignantly struggling to claim his humanity. (The robot/man later headlined TV's The Outer Limits with Leonard Nimoy." Adam Link was EC's only ongoing science fiction series — and it's all here in these pages!
To top it off, this volume features two of Orlando's outstanding adaptations of classic Ray Bradbury science fiction — "The Long Year" and "Outcast of the Stars."
Prepare yourself for an amazing journey to the stars!
Luba and Her Family
228-page black & white 7.5" x 9.25" softcover • $18.99
Gilbert Hernandez's sprawling family saga focuses on the United States, where newly immigrated Luba and her sisters, body-builder Petra and therapist/film star Fritz, find their families' and friends' lives becoming more and more intertwined. As the three sisters have "memories of sweet youth," the next generation finds the spotlight: Luba's adult daughter Doralís emcees the proceedings in her role as mischievous host of a children's TV show, while Petra's little girl, Venus, has adventures with her aunt Fritz and her best friend Yoshio. At her mother's urging, Venus also writes missives to her fierce, one-armed cousin Casimira, who's back in Palomar. In these stories — never before collected together — Venus tells it like it is!
Pirates in the Heartland: The Mythology of S. Clay Wilson Vol. 1
232-page black & white 8" x 11.25" hardcover • $34.99
S. Clay Wilson's taboo-busting, eyeball-blistering comics changed the course of the medium. Best known for his Checkered Demon character and as one of the co-founders of the seminal Zap Comix anthology, Wilson cannonballed the collective — which includes legendary underground cartoonist R. Crumb — to even greater heights of artistic depravity. The first of three volumes, this documentary-style biography — told both in his own words and in firsthand accounts from his peers — and retrospective includes Wilson's childhood drawings, his early contributions to Zap, his collaborations with William S. Burroughs, and his work for Arcade. Preeminent underground comics scholar Patrick Rosenkranz (Rebel Visions) paints a revealing portrait of the Midwestern artist who hid his shyness behind an outré persona — and held a cutlass to the throat of the establishment.
656-page black & white/color 9" x 12.5" x 2.75" two-volume slipcased hardcover set • $125.00
Ships in: June 2014 (subject to change) — Pre-Order Now
When the formulaic constraints, censorious nature, and onerous lack of creator's rights in mainstream comics got to be too much for the brilliant cartoonist Wallace Wood in 1966, he struck out on his own with the self-published witzend. It became a haven for Wood and his fellow professional cartoonist friends where they could produce the kind of personal work that they wanted to do, without regard to commercial demands — and with friends like Frank Frazetta, Al Williamson, Reed Crandall, Ralph Reese, Archie Goodwin, Angelo Torres, Steve Ditko, Harvey Kurtzman, Will Elder, Art Spiegelman, Don Martin, Vaughn Bodé, Jim Steranko, Jeff Jones, Howard Chaykin, Trina Robbins, Bernie Wrightson, and literally dozens more, it was bound to be a great ride! Now, Fantagraphics presents the complete run of witzend in this beautiful slipcased two-volume set with a special introduction by Bill Pearson and a history by Patrick Rosenkranz.

A lovely book filled with depraved, degenerate art and the colorful story of the man who made it, Pirates in the Heartland: The Mythology of S. Clay Wilson Vol. 1 is due out in about 2 months, and we've got our advance copies to begin showing off. Above, one of the only borderline-SFW comics spreads we can show you from the book, and the beginning of a middle chapter of this volume's part of the biography by underground comix historian Patrick Rosenkranz, who also compiled the comics. This book is An Event and we're excited to get it out into the world! You can check out some excerpts and reserve your copy right here.
How did a nervous, creative kid from a normal family in Nebraska grow up to make some of the most outrageous, transgressive, Id-ful comics ever put to paper? You'll find the answer — and the comics — in Pirates in the Heartland, the first book in our 3-volume biography and retrospective of S. Clay Wilson by Patrick Rosenkranz. Wilson, of course, is a member of the Zap Comix collective and creator of the Checkered Demon; Rosenkranz is one of the preeminent authorities on underground comix and the author of the definitive history of the genre, Rebel Visions. Their mighty powers combine in this essential series that takes an unflinching look at the man and his work.
In our downloadable excerpt, read about Wilson's childhood in the heartland, see some of his youthful artwork, and read some of his earliest underground comix stories with, yes, pirates. Expected availability is in about 8 weeks, give or take;pre-sale is on now!
The man. His work. They coexist on the cover and in the pages of Pirates in the Heartland: The Mythology of S. Clay Wilson Vol. 1, compiling Wilson's seminal underground comix work along with the first part of Patrick Rosenkranz's authoritative biography. Wilson unleashed a cannon barrage on the boundaries of the comics art form and rushed through, flintlocks blazing, cutlass in teeth, and fly open, taking no prisoners with his outrageous output. This book, combined with its two forthcoming sequels, will be the last word and the ultimate collection of a comics legend. Look for more previews between now and its release this summer.
And for lots more insight into the cover design, art director Jacob Covey wrote these notes on his personal Facebook page, re-presented here with his kind permission:

Rytidosperma popinensis was downlisted to rare on the Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 (Tasmania) as it is no longer regarded as threatened. The Tasmanian Government suggests that a Commonwealth reassessment of the species' eligibility for listing on the EPBC Act may be appropriate (TSS 2010a).
Scientific name: Austrodanthonia popinensis
Common name: Roadside Wallaby Grass
Synonyms: Danthonia popinensis, Notodanthonia popinensis
Other common names: Blue Wallabygrass
Previously, Austrodanthonia tenuior has been misidentified as Roadside Wallaby Grass and has sometimes been referred to as Danthonia aff. popinensis. Danthonia aff. popinensis has been recorded at Avoca, Conara and west of Campbell Town (Kirkpatrick 2000).
Roadside Wallaby Grass is a tufted, perennial grass that grows to 45 cm high. The stems are smoothly ribbed with purple nodes. The lower leaf blades are flat (sometimes only at the base), up to 15 cm long and 0.2 cm wide. The upper leaf surface is strongly ribbed, with the lower surface being finely ribbed. The base of the leaf blade is pale and often shiny. The seedhead is up to 10 cm long, linear to lance-shaped and pale green in colour. The branches and flower stalks are often covered with minute hairs. The spikelets are 1.31.4 cm long with hair-like projections (awns) that are 0.30.4 cm long. It has relatively long hairs, scattered between an upper and lower row of hair tufts on the grass seed (Kirkpatrick 2000; Tas. DPIWE 2003).
Roadside Wallaby Grass occurs in Tasmania's Midlands and the lower Derwent Valley, with most plants occurring along roadside verges in the southern and northern Midlands. Locations include Brighton, Sandy Bay, Lutana, Mangalore, Central Plateau and at sites along the Midland Highway (Tas. DPIWE 2003). This species is known from 21 subpopulations, at least one of which is extinct (Tas. DPIWE 2003). The species was probably more widespread in the past, at least in the Midlands (Leigh & Briggs 1992). The discovery of further subpopulations cannot be ruled out (TSS 2009).
The extent of occurrence of Roadside Wallaby Grass is estimated to be 3400 km², within a linear range of 128 km (TSS 2009). The area of occupancy of this species is estimated to be 915 hectares (Tas. DPIWE 2003; TSS 2009).
Roadside Wallaby Grass is estimated to have from 140 000 plants (Tas. DPIWE 2003) to at least 200 000 (North 2001). The largest population may have at least 127 000 plants (North 2001) and four other populations have 900040 000 plants each (TSS 2009). Five known populations have less than 200 plants each (TSS 2009).
No known populations of Roadside Wallaby Grass occur on reserves. Most populations occur on roadsides and some on adjoining private land (Tas. DPIWE 2003). Some locations are in informal roadside reserves, managed by the Tasmanian Department of Information, Energy and Resources, and one location is protected in the Queens Domain, Hobart (TSS 2009).
The majority of known Roadside Wallaby Grass populations occur on roadside verges, 15200 m above sea level. Sites tend to be flat or gently sloping and the soils are usually rock free with a sandy loam/sandy clay loam topsoil (Gilfedder & Kirkpatrick 1997). Underlying substrate includes Jurassic dolerite, Triassic sandstone and Quaternary aeolian sands. The original habitat was probably grassy open woodland dominated by Snow Gum (Eucalyptus pauciflora) and Manna Gum (E. viminalis) (Gilfedder & Kirkpatrick 1997; Leigh & Briggs 1992).
Roadside Wallaby Grass appears to prefer disturbed open sites rather than 'intact' sites, the majority of which occur on roadsides. The open, and disturbed, nature can be maintained by slashing/mowing or fire, however, bare ground exposure as a result of this process may lead to the establishment of weeds (TSS 2009).
Roadside Wallaby Grass is capable of vegetative growth (the increase in tussock size). Seed ripens in late autumn and open conditions, with bare ground, are required for the species to recruit successfully from seed (Gilfedder & Kirkpatrick 1997). Historically, fire is likely to have maintained the conditions suitable for this species (TSS 2009).
Roadside Wallaby Grass is characterised by its bluish foliage, though identification is best made during the flowering period, in DecemberMarch (Gilfedder & Kirkpatrick 1997). The broad, flat blades of the lower leaves distinguish it from other Austrodanthonia. It resembles a spear grass (Kirkpatrick 2000).
Roadside Wallaby Grass may be confused with Austrodanthonia tenuior, the latter having panicles up to 20 cm long, while the area between the upper and lower rows of hairs on the lemma is glabrous or with only a few scattered hairs (TSS 2009).
Habitat clearance
Clearing for housing, agriculture and transport corridors pose a direct threat to Roadside Wallaby Grass. An indirect threat includes salinity at susceptible woodland sites (TSS 2009).
Inappropriate roadside management
Inappropriate slashing, mowing, grazing, road upgrades or road duplication are actions that may impact known subpopulations (Tas. DPIWE 2003). Between one and three subpopulation have been destroyed as the result of roadworks (Gilfedder & Kirkpatrick 1997; Tas. DPIWE 2003). Too infrequent slashing increases the competition from other grasses and shrubs and decreases the ability of populations to recover following reinstated slashing (Kirkpatrick 2007).
Persistent grazing throughout the year can prevent new seed forming and reduce recruitment success. Evidence of this threat is observed through the decline of this species on private land and the limited spread of the species from road reserves to adjacent grazed land (TSS 2009).
Weeds that threaten this species include introduced grasses, African Boxthorn (Lycium ferocissimum), Briar Rose (Rosa rubiginosa), pines (Pinus spp.) and elm (Ulmus spp.) suckers (Leigh & Briggs 1992; TSS 2009).
Roadside actions
Roadside Wallaby Grass prefers open site conditions that can be provided by slashing/mowing once a year in autumn, after the seed has dispersed. However, open sites can encourage weed invasion and clearing of surrounding woodland vegetation can raise the water table at salinity prone sites (Barker 1999).
Maintenance schedules of roadsides along the Midlands Highway have been documented in the Tasmanian Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources managment plans (Tas. DPIWE 2003). These plans include maps that detail locations of threatened flora occurring along roadsides and their required management (Tas. DPIWE 2003). Roadside Wallaby Grass populations should remain viable if the plans are kept up-to-date and prescribed maintenance is carried out (Tas. DPIWE 2003).
Grazing actions
Roadside Wallaby Grass prefers non-persistent light grazing. Grazing throught the whole year can prevent the formation and dispersal of new seed and reduce the ability for new plants from germinating (Barker 1999).
Conservation covenants
The largest known Roadside Wallaby Grass subpopulation occurs at a site between Brighton and Pontville and is protected by a Part 5 Agreement under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993(Tasmania). This agreement is accompainied by a nature conservation plan that identifies ongoing protection and management procedures that obliges the land holder to regularly monitor and report on the status of the population (TSS 2009).
Future management actions
A number of recovery actions have been identified (TSS 2009) and include:
- assessment of known subpopulations to determine their current status and management requirements
- evaluation of the roadside management plans
- evaluation of the conservation covenant program
- investigation of further subpopulation inclusion in reserve or covenant system
- establishment of ex situ population and seed material collection.

Some Former Oilers make the Grade
This is Bobby Allen. He had a nice training camp with the Oilers early this decade and was hurt (I think concussion, could be wrong) late and missed making the roster. He hung in there in AAA for a few seasons, finally getting another shot at the bigs with the Boston Bruins in 06-07.
Based on the Bruins website it looks like Allen made the big club out of camp this fall. I always cheer for these fellows, because 4 years of college and then 300+ AHL games is a long time to wait for the clouds to part and shine on you.
Here's a list of guys who have been associated with the Oilers for one reason or another and where they've landed. It is not complete (I didn't include Peca, for instance). If you can add any info (or if some of these guys got sent out and I missed it) please let me know.
Jochen Hecht is (I read this on Mirtle) the Sabres captain for the month of October. Always liked him, and even though the Oilers got Jarret Stoll in that trade imo lots of Oilers fans think of Hecht as a waste of skin and it is completely wrong. Very good player. Drew Stafford looks read to roll in Buffalo. He is one of those famous "players who got away" on draft day, as Kevin Lowe didn't even have a jersey with Devan Dubnyk's name on it (so convinced was he that Stafford would be an Oiler). Jaroslav Spacek is on that beauty Sabre blueline again this season.
Matt Lombardi was drafted by the Oilers but they didn't sign him. He will play for Keenan this year, and has an outside chance of being the whipping boy. Ryan Smyth is in Denver and has at least one Oiler fan cheering mightily that he gets his name on the Stanley. One suspects Roloson will be on that club at the deadline. They also have someone named Jeff Finger on the Avs blueline (I assume his nickname is "middle").
Jason Chimera is in Columbus, as is that beauty Medicine Hat Tiger defender Kris Russell. I expect people will be talking about him all year long. Brad Winchester got himself a winter job in Dallas and will probably benefit from a new organization. MacT's exit interview implied that sometimes you need to hear it from another organization and Winchester may redouble his efforts to stay in the league. Daniel Cleary remains a quality NHL role player with Detroit.
Radek Dvorak is back in Florida, hopefully the rat craze doesn't return. Roman Hamrlik is in Montreal which seems to me to be a weird club for him but we'll see how it goes. Jason Arnott is the captain in Nashville, and Martin Gelinas is also on the Preds this season and Greg DeVries too.
The New York Islanders are collecting former Oilers. Miro Satan, Bill Guerin and Mike Comrie are memorable forwards from our town (Guerin had a nice season a year ago, wonder if he can get anywhere close this year) and Marc Andre Bergeron must be counting the number of chaos blueliners on the Oilers roster and wondering what he must have done to be deemed expendable if this was the master plan.
Dean McAmmond is still alive and well (sort of) in Ottawa, and with his speed he can probably play several more seasons. He has outlasted lots of role players of his era just because he has turned into a useful player with more than one skill. Luke Richardson is also listed on the roster, but he's 94 years old.
Jim Dowd and Joff Lupul are not similar player types, but both are Philadelphia Flyers. So is Jason Smith, their captain. Mike York is in Phoenix, poor fellow. Georges Laraque, Petr Sykora and Alain Nasreddine are all on the Pittsburgh Penguins roster.
Mike Grier, Brad Norton and Alexei Semenov are all San Jose Sharks, although Semenov and Norton are both on IR to begin the season and would have to be considered 8 and 9 on the D depth chart. Martin Rucinsky and Doug Weight are St. Louis Blues again, and so is Eric Brewer.
Boyd Devereaux and Chad Kilger are Toronto Maple Leafs this season, which means we'll see them on TV about 30 times more than anyone else on this list. Brad Isbister is a Vancouver Canuck until he's injured, and so is Mason Raymond, a player the Oilers wanted badly on his draft day based on reports.
Michael Nylander is a fondly remembered former Oiler who signed with Washington this summer in a rather quiet transaction, and Tom Poti will patrol the blueline in Baltimore.
Tony Salmelainen, Jeff Woywitka, Alex Henry and Robin Kovar all missed the cut.

A man frantically ran up to Munter and said his wife was giving birth in their car. Munter retrieved a pair of gloves from his trunk and ran to the car, Durham police said.
"The baby was coming out. I scooped up the baby and took the cord from around her neck. I bundled the baby in towels and put her on the mother's chest. I told them they had a baby girl," Munter said. Soon after, a second officer, K-9 Officer J.J. McDonough with the Highway Interdiction Unit, arrived to assist Munter. "The mother did all the work. I just tidied everything up. I made sure the baby was breathing, had an airway and was getting good color," said Munter, who is the father of one and a former EMT. Police said paramedics arrived on the scene and checked out the mother and baby, who were both doing well. "It is the coolest thing that has happened to me on the job," Munter said.

Jordan is a giant tool- he thinks he's hot shit, but he's really annoying. Also, he peed behind the student center.
