Having grown up in Alabama under Jim Crow, I've got some experience distinguishing among genuine racism, racial insensitivity and comments/behavior that are merely stupid. There's not always a fine line separating the categories, but my ability to navigate my world has long depended on distinguishing a malevolent racist from an insensitive boob.
I've never believed that a white person's use of the "n" word is de facto proof of his racism. (It is, rather, de facto proof of boorishness.) And I've met my share of white good 'ol boys who drove pickup trucks with rebel flag decals but who were, nevertheless, unfailingly polite and helpful to me. They are not racists. I've also met well-educated Northern whites who were quite polite to me but whose behavior betrayed their belief that blacks were somewhat inferior. They are racists.
Harry Reid, with his truly stupid comments about the president, falls into the insensitive boob category. Trent Lott may as well. But the remarks that Lott made were much more damaging — as anyone willing to be sincere about race relations would admit.
(Blogs, admittedly, are not the best format for discussing race relations. The ability of commenters to post anonymously tends to bring out the most sophomoric and moronic behavior. Nevertheless, I sally forth, hoping that a few of my readers, white, black and brown, want to think about race deeply.)
Reid, as you no doubt know, said Obama would probably be elected because he's "light-skinned" and has no "Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Reid's first observation is one that he shouldn't have uttered out loud but is nonetheless inarguable. But his second about the "Negro dialect" is infuriating. What the heck is that? Was Obama the first black person Reid has ever been around who is middle-class, well-educated and speaks standard English well?
Needless to say, Reid has apologized profusely, as he should have.
Reid has moved quickly to show contrition after a new book, "Game Change" by journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin revealed that he made comments in 2008 suggesting that Barack Obama could be elected president because he is "light skinned" and lacks "Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Embarrassed by the remarks and already facing a tough climb to reelection in the fall, Reid has reached out to the African American community, apologizing for his comments and highlighting his legislative record of backing civil rights issues important to the black community. He immediately won a showing of support from prominent Democratic black leaders, including the president, who accepted his apology and said he's seen the "passionate leadership he's shown on issues of social justice and I know what's in his heart. As far as I'm concerned, the book is closed."
Republicans, however, don't want the book closed. Looking for any opportunity to damage Democrats, they are comparing Reid's remarks to those Lott made several years ago which led to his resignation as Senate Majority Leader. (Really, the GOP shouldn't get into this. They are in no position to suggest any other person or group is guilty of racial insensitivity.)
At a public celebration of Strom Thurmond's birthday, Lott said:
"When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years, either."
That sent a shiver down my spine. Thurmond ran for president in 1948 as a Dixiecrat determined that black people would never enjoy full citizenship in these United States. He was a full-throated segregationist who wanted black people denied the right to vote, to be educated in good schools, to eat at decent restaurants or to stay in the Holiday Inn. He wanted to preserve a system were black people didn't serve on juries and were lynched over trumped-up charges. He wanted to preserve a system where men like him could take advantage of a teen-aged black maid and impregnate her — as Thurmond did. He wanted to keep a system wherein black teachers were paid less than their white counterparts.
Anybody who bothers to think can see the difference between the remarks made by Lott and those made by Reid.
One more thing: Lott apologized almost immediately, and had I been serving in the Senate with him, I probably would have accepted his apology. I would have considered him a creature of his time and place — a privileged white guy with little understanding of what it meant to be black in the Deep South during Thurmond's heyday.
But Lott was run off by Republicans, who pressured him to resign. Enough with the hypocrisy, already.

Cynthia is always one-sided. The whites are racist and everyone else is downtrodden is her view. How can she be Editorial editor and have worked so hard to elect Obama? Impartiality? Not her, never.
January 11th, 2010

Harry made his comments nearly 2 years ago and is now only apologizing when he finds out his stupid remarks are being published in a book. Wonder if he's truly sorry or sorry that he got caught?

What Reid said was not racist, it was a simple, politically incorrect truth. It is interesting how many people who usually cry against PC now now pretend to offended.
January 11th, 2010
10:39 am
Sam @ 9:49 is correct. Republicans, unhappy with the comparatively free-spending style of Mr. Lott, were looking for an excuse to dismiss him. Had Mr. Lott enjoyed general republican support, his "happy birthday, Sen. Thurmond" would have survived scrutiny (no rational person reads anything racist in such a comment.) In contrast, Sen Reid is now his own critical 60th vote to remake health care into the world-wide socialist model – the leftists are silenced by fear of replacement.
January 11th, 2010
10:42 am
john: I understand what you are saying, but whether there are few or many racists in the North is eally irrelevant to what Cynthia wrote: She recognized the racism of those she met, and that is all she wrote about. As for Jewish vs. blacks' suffering, I do not think that should even be a subject for comparison.
January 11th, 2010
10:43 am
It's all a diversion, and an effective one at that, in this 'post-racial' era we were assured would occur. What we should be paying attention to is Ms. Tucker's last subject, "Eventually, Obama has to raise taxes, as Reagan did", since her true function is as a propagandist for the White House.

Whether you like Harry Reid or not, apparently his commens had merit. Obama is a light skinned blck man, that is "artiulate", and …..he became president. The same can be said of Cynthia, light skinned, articluate, liberal, successful in her profession. It can also be said that they are both well educated, hard working, passionate, motivated, aggressive in the pursuit of their beliefs. Whether you agree with either of them it's the characteristics of successful people. Should have Trent Lott OR Harry Reid resign for their comments, NO. This country needs to get over this over-sensitivity, it makes us weak. It's why we refuse to call muslim terrorists, "muslim terrorists". Grow a backbone, get a thicker skin. Call me a "cracker" if you want, I couldn't care less.

SUCH hypocrisy and lies! IT IS Racism, pure, unadulterated, plain and simple and YOU or NO ONE else, without truth on their lips can say otherwise. The difference is, he is of the political stripe and persuasion you endorse and are stained with. I don't know how some of you idiodic, stupid people, live with yourselves. If one happens to be in your camp, they can say, do or act anyway they wish, and often do, and its alright, you are a GOOD person, its ok honey, just dont do it again. One day we will all have to give an account of the lies and coverups this world is drowing in! Democrats, ie, the 'old white dudes' creeping around the halls of congress are MORE racist than those they accuse.
January 11th, 2010
10:49 am
As a black American male I think this is what disuses me more than anything. People like Cynthia and other black leaders who were offended by the word Negro on the census report, but not at all by the word coming out of someone's mouth. Only because he is a democrat will he get a pass in the black community, just as Robert Byrd for being an ex-Klansman. It is no wonder anyone takes these so called black leaders seriously especially in the black community. Where is (Al, Jesse, NAACP, SCLC) all keeping quiet because they were told to. This is very dark day in our community when someone of this stature can stand up and say this and none of our so called leaders will condemn his remarks and apply pressure to have him removed. I agree with the white community 100%, had this been a republican all hell would have broke out.

Examples of hypocrisy:
Democratic comments that are given a pass:
-Jesse Jackson referring to a Jewish section of New York as "Hymie Town" -No outrage from the Left;he misspoke.
-Al Sharpton referring to white business owners in Harlem as "White Interlopers"-No outrage from the left;he misspoke
-Bill Clinton stating that "a few years ago Obama would have been getting them coffee"-No outrage from the left;he misspoke
-Harry Reid-Obama has "no Negro Dialect"-No outrage from the left;he misspoke
Conservative comments that were offensive to the Left:
-Trent Lott-Reference to Strom Thurmond being elected president in 1948-Lott was pressured to resign by both Right and Left. He's a racist
-Rush Limbaugh-States that the only reason the press isnt being critical of QB Donovan McNabb is because he's black and they dont want to be labeled racists-This type of bluntness was offensive to the Rev. Jesse and Al. Boycotts ensued.He's a racist
-Don Imus-Jokingly referred to the Rutgers Ladies basketball teams as "Nappy Headed Ho's"-Personally run off the air by Rev Al Sharpton despite issuing apologies to Rutgers players and coaches. He's a racist
The list of hypocrisy from the Left is endless………

No Cynthia, Reid is a racial divider. He said what he feels and I am sure he meant it. He is just trying to continue to survive and I can bet Nevada wants him out. And please remember that is was the Democrats that did not want the vote or equality to the blacks in the 60's. It was the Republican party that made sure equality was given.
January 11th, 2010
10:56 am
We are ALL racists to some degree. And no its' not just a black vs. white thing. Learn to deal with because its' not going away anytime soon. As an example can anyone explain why 95% of the black population voted for Obama? That's about as racists as it gets but its' not a black vs. white thing! LOL

You are so right, Cynthia. These sick conservatives are grasping at anything to take the spotlight off of Sarah Palin, who will be the next canditate for President for the Repubs – guaranteeing a second term for Obama

this is all very amusing, as if there is a difference between "racism" and "stupidity"? Reid is both a racist and stupid, which interestingly enough seems to uniquely qualify him for his job (politician). equally amusing is the indignation and shock conveyed by OTHER politicians (a/k/a "stupid racisits"). Oh, and Turd Ferguson, the Civil War WAS about slavery. You've got it back-asswards. The slavery debate became a "states rights" debate. Without slavery there call for Secesssion or embrace of "states rights" on the part of the Confederacy. The Confederacy "declared war" on the Federal government because it believed it that "slavery" was a right. History is the study of facts/actual events; not hypethesis and speculation.
January 11th, 2010
11:06 am
I'm sorry but as an African-American female I do find Senator Reid's comments offensive and the man needs to go. First of all African-Americans have not been referred to as Negros for years in this country and to use that term in and of itself gives me the impression that the man was attempting to denigrate and impugn a race of Americans. Secondly, Senator Reid would have never said that a Caucasian would do well because he doesn't speak with a Southern dialect, or a Bostonian or NY accent, or how about a good ol Texan sounding voice. So to single out "Negros" as having some special dialect is outrageous. And finally when you couple this with his offhanded remarks about Justice Thomas being unable to write well and implying that he was "less intelligent" then the other 9 justices. There can be no doubt that Senator Reid has a strong racial bias which he has been able to suppress, but, which rears its ugly head in these off-colored remarks. And he should not be allowed to continue to get away with this nonesense.
January 11th, 2010
11:08 am
THANK YOU!, hoodtechie, his comment is eloquent! Again, where ARE all of the BIG MOUTH blabbers who are always waiting in the wings if a Republican or person to the right breathes wrong? It is as plain as the nose on your face and the sad part, they KNOW it, but wont admit it!

"Sorry I am working and do not have time to "proof read". Someone has to pay for all the welfare that the southern states force the northern ones to pay for."
More Americans of African decent live in the Southern States, VA, NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, LA, AR & TN. Was this a racist comment? Is the Northerner who wrote this a racist? Or is he only a Regional Bigot?
January 11th, 2010
11:15 am
First of all, Negro is a viable word. You are of Negro, Black, Africian American decent yourself. None of those words are negative.
Since a Negro dialect is considered a negative by many white Americans, not having that dialect and being a Harvard grad is a positive for purposes of National electibility.
I am from Atlanta originally. I still have some Southern dialect which on a National basis is a negative. Outside the South, most equate a Southern dialect with Gomer Pyle and toothless racist. That is why I worked to get rid of it.
Oprah Winfrey has no Negro dialect. Andrew Young does not have the Negro dialect that rural Blacks in Georgia do. A Negro dialect and a Southern dialect are kind of looked at as being from the uneducated. A Negro dialect has very similar to a Southern dialet with some additional slang mixed in.
I think what Mr. Reed was saying is that Obama is electible to the mainstream American people and he was right. Not ethnic.. A hispanic would have to be careful to use perfect english to be accepted by middle America.
The Republican party is sick.. Facism runs rampant in the America of today.. When the number one Republican network (Fox) who's #1 guy can't own an NFL team because he played "the Magic Negro" on election day and was fired by ESPN for recial remarks and another (Hannity) who was fired from his college radio station for being a racist and has regularly had extreme White Supremicist on his program (Hal Martin), you know you party might have a problem. A little Fox Swastika emblem in the works and Mr. Steele might wear his honorary version as well.

11:21 am
didnt CT say that what Lott said was NOT racist? I'm confused
January 11th, 2010
11:23 am
Yet another reason to despise Cynthia Tucker's guts. Lott wasn't even remotely thinking about racism, and if liberals had any measure of honor, they'd admit that virtually EVERY southern politician (especially Democrats) at the time that Strom ran for President, were segregationists. Cynthia's ilk danced on the head of a pin to twist and fabricate Lott's innocent toast into "blatent racism" when clearly it had no racial intent at all. Now when Reid makes a statement that can't be measured as anything BUT racist…Tucker defends him and marginalizes the statement. I LOATHE liberalism, because of the snotty, snide, self-righteous double standards. Cyntia…YOU are a bigot (based on the rheems of anti-white columns you've written); and if I could do so, I'd spit in your face!
January 11th, 2010
11:24 am
The bottom line is that if a white, Republican had made the same comment as the white, Democrat Harry Reid, Ms.Tucker would be at the forefront demanding his resignation. There is and probably always will be a double standard when it comes to the media and the treatment of white conservatives. It is always a case that you cannot criticize or disagree with a Democrat, especially a black Democrat, without being called a racist.

It saddens me that some stupid remarks can create responses that take us back to an era that few would want to return. What about the real issues of today!
We are being taken to the cleaners every day by a political system that dooms us — Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, and Racists — yes all of us. If all of you are so smart, why do we allow politics as usual in Washington? IF we voted for change, there is none. We cannot even past a Health Care Bill without politicians tagging on their special projects costing billions of dollars. Will the Health Care Bill be effective with all of the special interest projects included? Why don't we demand more from our elected officials?
Pork Barrel Politics in Washington should be a slap in the face to every voter. Instead of demanding more, we sit at our computers and respond to all of this nonsense that is not going to change one thing. We have got to get smarter than this.
Take some of your valuable time and send an email to your Congressman and say you have had it and things must change. Then vote for someone who you think will help to bring about change. We need new leadership from top to bottom and perhaps Obama would have no excuse to CHANGE

I find it amusing reading comments defending the display of the Confederate Flag. Question… why fly the flag of the losing side from a Civil War over a hundred years ago? Are you folks celebrating your loss, celebrating the fact that your ancestors were losers?… rather odd. It is funny we don't see this practice in China or Russia or Germany or Japan, why the American South??
January 11th, 2010
11:44 am
Interesting how all the white bloggers come out in defense of what is racist and what is not racist. Some many here seem to be the authority on and about black people and the way they talk and what they look like. How about displaying that same vigor when it comes to getting the schools here in Georgia to do better. Or is that anger only limited to blaming black folks for the attitudes of white people.
January 11th, 2010
11:48 am
Your logic escapes me. We're not talking about flying a flag over the State Capitol in Albany, NY with the Nazi symbol and a likeness of a gas oven on it. Are you saying Jews would not be upset with that?
January 11th, 2010
11:52 am
No, the comment that Senator Reid made was not racist. It is a FACT. Any Negro, Black, African American will tell you that there is a prejudice that exist if you are a dark skinned as oppose to a light skinned.
If the Republicans spend as much time working with the Democratic Congress to solve the woes of this country as they do in trying to find every little thing to criticize the Democrats and especially the President, the country would be better off.
Mr. Steele, please tell me where in the World can a person have a job and refuse to do that job for 4 to 6 years? The answer, only if he is a Republican member of Congress. When a Republican member of Congress was censured by the South Carolina Republican House Members because he worked with the Democrats on Health Care and the Global Environment, then there is a problem with the system. I feel that if the Republicans in Congress do not work, then they should ALL be fired. We should not pay them if they refuse to work. While they are not working, the people they suppose to represent continues to struggle.
Republicans it is not just Democrats who need better health care, better schools, employment, etc., it is also the people you suppose to represent.
Wake up and stop nit picking and perform the job that you was elected to perform.

Blowout Preventers (BOPs) are safety devices used to "prevent"
the uncontrolled flow of liquids and gases during well drilling operations.
Blowout preventers are large, high-pressure valves that are capable of being
remotely controlled. When the driller closes the valve, a pressure-tight seal
is formed at the top of the well, preventing the fluids from escaping. There
are two major types of Blowout Preventers, Annular (also known as Spherical)
and RAM. Annular BOPs are usually mounted to the very top of the BOP stack.
The drilling crew then mounts two, three, or four RAM BOPs below the Annular
preventer. If a kick is detected, the annular is usually closed first and then
the RAM is used as a backup if the Annular should fail.
National Oilwell Varco's Pressure Control Group has
more than 80 years of experience in building BOPs to meet the changing demands
of the petroleum industry. National Oilwell Varco offers a wide range of RAM
BOPs to fit your drilling needs. The various models vary by size, features, and
pressure ratings.

Interview: Michelle Rodriguez of 'Fast & Furious 6'
A returning fan favorite gets back in the mix in 'Fast 6'
With a death scene in "Fast and Furious 4" seemingly reversed by the tag in "Fast 5," Michelle Rodriguez's Letty -- the hard-driving lost love of Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto -- is somehow back in "Fast & Furious 6," with a touch of amnesia and more than a touch of charm. Rodriguez's laid-back toughness makes her a natural for these films, but sitting on a balcony in London she's animated and good-spirited -- making sure the crew has non-carbonated water, since the fizzy stuff doesn't hydrate as well, as she notes -- and more than willing to talk about Letty's unexpected shot at coming back from what seemed like the grave.
MSN Movies: When they said to you, "We have a way to bring you back that won't insult anyone's intelligence or ruin the franchise..." were you excited to go, "Hey, I can get back in here"?
Michelle Rodriguez: (Laughs) I was extraordinarily excited.
I mean were you like looking at them going, "But no, wait a second. You shot me. You can't get me back that easily"?
(Laughs) Well in 4, that was the whole point you know?
And that's probably why Vin didn't tell me about it, and I had to find out about my possible reprise in the role of Letty. The surprise came to me when in (I was) Paris and I bought a ticket to go see Vin Diesel go head to head with the Rock in "Fast & Furious 5," and then I see the tag ending. I'm like, "Dude, you didn't call me." I holler at him. I'm like, "What is going on?"
You didn't know until you saw the movie?
Well, he told me in 4...
BING: More about Michelle Rodriguez l BING: More about the Lamborghini Aventador
And that's why we made so many windows for the possibility later. But I just didn't know that it would come to fruition.
Let me ask you this -- in this series you get to drive some great cars and do some great street racing, but what you do you drive in your regular life?
A Prius.
A Prius?
Is it fair to say that nobody wants an action series about people driving hybrids? "The Responsible and Recyclable? "
It's fair to say until you look at the new Spyder that Porsche is coming out with in 2014. And then you're like, "It's a hybrid."
Quieter, more dangerous.
It's the best of both worlds baby.
Let me ask you this. If you could just turn these films into your own auto lot and just pick any vehicle from them and go, "That one," which vehicle would...
Lamborghini Aventador.
Right. That's your dream vehicle?
Not my green vehicle.
No, your dream vehicle.
That's my dream vehicle.
Well, my dream vehicle is the Porsche hybrid that's going to come out next year.
It's $800,000 dollars. I don't have that kind of cash, unless you guys want to pay for it. (Laughs) But yeah, that's my dream car.
Right. And the Aventador probably gets the same gas mileage as the space shuttle?
Yeah, probably, yeah.
Slightly less?
Yes, but it's so beautiful to drive. I took it out on the track here in London, and it is a beautiful vehicle.
A special little trip?
Yeah. I want a bigger straightaway.
Let me ask you this. What's the most egregious injury you've had doing these films? I mean Mr. Walker's blown out his knee, Mr. Diesel's had some cuts and bruises, but you, have you taken a hit for the team making these movies?
No. All I did was ... my dumb ass decided to take the pads out of the jacket because I didn't think it looked good, it made me look too muscular, and I ended up slamming my ... Gina slammed me against the car one too many times and I got a bruise from here to here. That's my own doofus-ness. I should have left the pad in.
That's certainly honorably earned, though.
Yeah man, I loved it. It was like my battle wound. "Look what I got doing 'Fast 6.'"
Right. It's not like you have a paper cut.
No, no. it was pretty big.
Do you have a regiment for these films? Or did you just go, "However I show up I'm going to look like a street racer should"?
Absolutely not. I got Tracy Anderson while I was out here. I went and was trained by her people out here in London just to keep in shape. Just because, you know, if I'm going up against Gina Carano in a feature I wanted to be credible, and I wanted to look good, and I also want to be in tune for a long two day shoot where I'm going to have to give it my all in every second I'm on that screen so...
When they said to you "You'll be fighting somebody who fights for real professionally," is that a little gulp moment where you just have to tighten up your resolve and do it?
No. Immediately what I think is (to the) writer, how credible is it, and (to the) stunt coordinator, and director, how can we make this look real.
That's my first priority. I don't care if I'm getting beat up; I don't care if I'm not getting beat up. Whatever's going to happen in the scene has to look real. And that's my big thing because I'm a critic.
I need to sit there and I need to look at it and be sold in order for me to be happy.
In an age where computers can make anything look real-ish, isn't it great to be part of a series where it's all about real cars, actual driving, and doing as much of your own fighting as you can?
Yeah, that is really, you know I've got to say I really respect how much sprinkling Justin does with the CGI. I mean the most CGI we see is the green screen that the actors do on their close-ups when they're driving and the wire work that's done, you know, because we can't do it on the highway.
But you know, I mean I just really love the sprinkling process because I really am a big fan of real stunts and the stunt guys. They put in a lot of work, and they do such a good job that I want to go to the Taurus Awards and watch them accept the cool award. With CGI films you don't see a lot of that.
It's the difference between creating something completely and just editing a little bit right?
No, it's awesome.
How amazing was the shoot in London? I know Glasgow was used was for some of the racing sequences, but how great was it to shoot in one of the biggest, most bustling cites of the world to do this crazy driving...
During the Olympics.
During the Olympics, right.
I mean come on, how do you top that?
You could raise the difficulty bar a little higher.
It was so epic.
I mean I wasn't too fond of the traffic because you literally would sit there for two hours just trying to get down the block. It reminded me of Moscow.
But I just really, I just love this damn city. It's just so cultured and like full of all sorts of different people from around the world. And Piccadilly Circle, to be able to shoot there, you know, and have it blocked off during the Olympics. And you're in London, which is a pretty snobby city to begin with.
So to get that kind of ticket and that kind of freedom says that they respect the franchise, and that was just kind of cool.
Mr. Lin said that they've only shut down Piccadilly two other times for movies, and I knew one of them was "An American Werewolf in London."
Yeah, yeah.
And he said another was one of the Harry Potter films. That's some pretty good company to be up in right?
That is some pretty damn good company, you know. Respect to London for that.
Has doing these films made you a better driver in your day-to-day life, or has it made you a slightly more dangerous driver in your day-to-day life?
I'd say better driver 'cause now I know when I want to have fun behind the wheel of a car and I want to take a vehicle, any vehicle, to the extreme I can go to a track and do it. And like, you know, before I never would've thought before dong the franchise, I never would've thought to go, "Alright, I'm bored. Let me go to Vegas. And let me hit a car racing school over there in Vegas. Or you know what? I'm here in London. I'm bored. Let me go to a track." Like I never would've thought that otherwise you know?
To find a good, safe place to hit 100 miles per hour and scream.
You have to because people suck, and cops suck. And unless you're doing a Gumball across Europe where you got 20 or 30 other people who could get caught behind you and get the speeding ticket...
(Laughs) You know what I mean? You're pretty much screwed trying it in the real streets.
Speaking of "The Gumball Rally," one final question. I've been asking everyone this. If we got all of you like off the lot, V8, Dodge Challengers, and had everybody hit the gas at the same time, cold start, who would win that race?
I would.
You would?
You know why I say that?
I'm very curious.
Because I'm the biggest fan of luxury cars, and everybody else likes that tuner or muscle s**t. (Laughs).
So you would just...
I'd be in the Aventador, and I'd be like on second gear, see ya! (Laughs) Second gear, 160. (Laughs)
What's interesting is that every person I've asked this question has said they would be the winner.
That's so funny.
So I think they might have a plot for "Fast 8" now.
We are so cocky. But nobody's thinking about what car they're driving.
The Aventador for you..
Yeah, yeah. Well, if that Porsche hybrid is out by the time we bring this to fruition it might be different. I might be using that hybrid.

But even before he leaps off the starting block in London, many sense Phelps will be the greatest by the time these Games come to a close.

Change has been the order of the offseason for the Atlanta Thrashers, with a number of Stanley Cup winners joining the team and giving the Thrashers a more positive outlook than they'e often had while making the playoffs once in ten NHL seasons.
While optimism abounds in Atlanta, much of that optimism is based on the potential performance of their talented young players and while some will break through and perform at a high level, others will not; just how many of Atlanta's young guns live up to their potential this year could make the difference between a playoff berth and another season on the outside looking in.
The most proven commodity on the Thrashers, for fantasy purposes, may be goaltender Chris Mason, who had 57 wins and a .914 save percentage over the last two seasons in St. Louis.
While 34-year-old Mason seems like the safer bet in the Atlanta net, he does have to compete with 23-year-old Ondrej Pavelec for playing time and if Pavelec, the goaltender of the future, can handle the starter's workload, then Mason may not see as much action as he has in recent seasons.
Veteran centre Nik Antropov surprised with a career-high 67 points last season, including a point-per-game after the Thrashers traded away Ilya Kovalchuk. Coming off hip surgery, however, it's difficult to expect that Antropov will be even more productive this year.
Rich Peverley has 90 points in 121 games since getting claimed on waivers by the Thrashers, and he may have to produce more if Antropov isn't ready at the start of the season, but last year's 55 points was a career-high, so he may left to the fringes of fantasy value depending on league depth.
The rest of the forwards tend to fall under the "potential" umbrella.
Evander Kane had but 26 points as a rookie, but did it as an 18-year-old with limited ice time. If he starts getting some power play time and perhaps playing 16-17 minutes a game, a big jump in production is possible. The fact that he also plays a hard-nosed power forward's game means that his penalty minutes could help his fantasy cause as well.
Assuming Niclas Bergfors gets signed to a new contract, the 23-year-old will have a chance to build on a 44-point rookie season. Bergfors played a bigger role in Atlanta than he did in New Jersey, which could mean a nice bump in his numbers over a full year.
Assuming an increase for Bergfors is risky, however; just ask Bryan Little, who scored 31 goals in 2008-2009 then slumped to 13 goals and 34 points last season. Little could be a candidate for a bounceback season, but with low penalty minute totals and a minus rating every year he's been in the NHL, he may be waiver wire material for fantasy.
Power forward Dustin Byfuglien showed in the playoffs that he can be a force in front of the net and, after scoring 11 goals in 22 playoff games, there are expectations that he could break through and be a 30-goal scorer if given the opportunity.
Of some concern, though, is that the Thrashers may still be considering Byfuglien for a spot on defence, his natural position, which would cut into his production. The sneaky part of Byfuglien's fantasy value is that he could have defence eligibility, yet if he ends up on the wing, well, that's an obvious advantage.
There is some value to be had among the Thrashers' other defencemen. Tobias Enstrom doesn't miss any games (82 a year in each of his three seasons) and scored a career-high 50 points last year. He's a mobile power play quarterback who can be a good fit as a No. 3 on fantasy squads.
Zach Bogosian slumped in his second season, but expectations will be very high for the talented 20-year-old this year. Bogosian can score and put up penalty minutes, but needs to get more power play time and improve on last year's minus-18 if he's going to reach his, wait for it...potential.

Abigail Ahern's Dark and Dramatic East London Home
House Tour
Name: Abigail Ahern, her husband Graham Scott, Mungo the miniature schnauzer, and Maude the Welsh terrier
Location: Dalston; London, UK
Size: 2,200 square feet
Years lived in: 13 years
Imagine if Vermeer and Rousseau got to share a canvas, the Dutchman filling it with his trademark dark interiors, soft light filtering in through a window, and the Frenchman adding lush ferns, copious flowers, birds and animals peeking through the foliage. Now add layer upon layer of texture —wood, velvet, pottery, wool, metallics — and you are getting close to envisaging designer Abigail Ahern's fabulous East London home.
Abigail, her husband Graham, and their two adorable dogs, Mungo and Maude, live in a four story Victorian townhouse in Dalston. Round the corner is London at its most chaotic, vibrant and noisy, but inside Abi has created a cozy and welcoming haven that mixes glamour and grandeur with fun and quirky details that make you smile. Welcome!
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Eclectic, boho, glam. I am obsessed with dark interiors. They cocoon you and make you feel snug and comforted, particularly in London where the light is very soft. When you put an object up against a dark wall, it has the effect of making it pop and gives it grandeur.
Inspiration: It is a huge mix drawing on many influences — Hollywood glam, old glam drinking dens, traditional interiors. I travel a lot and see lots of trade shows, lots of flea markets, meet lots of artists. I see a lot of stuff! I ignore trends and I buy something because I love it. A lot of what ends up in my shop ends up here too. Interiors can be a snooty business. I want my home to be glamorous, but not uptight. The penguins and poodles and other animals immediately lighten the mood.
Favorite Element: I love the double height glass wall, which extends the space inside and out. I wanted the garden to be overgrown and forest-like and create our own little private enclosed space. We built an outdoor kitchen last year and we use it all the time. We cook sea bass, prawns, pizza, steak, chicken, everything out there.
Biggest Challenge: Making each and every room a cozy space. I wanted them to almost wrap me in the squishiest of blankets, so I've recreated that feeling through an abundance of texture.
What Friends Say: "Wowzers!"
Biggest Embarrassment: Years ago I painted my whole studio in a color I hadn't tested first. I started on the cornice and just kept going. Then right at the end, I figured out I hated it!
Proudest DIY: My wardrobe in the bedroom made from MDF.
Biggest Indulgence: Lighting. Some of my pieces are handmade and took the artists 6 months to create.
Best Advice: Buy only what you love!

I love it (but couldn't live here) and so devoid of decorating cliches.
I love love love this house.
Seeing places like these just makes me despair about renting my studio apartment above a canal. Where are MY floor-to-ceiling windows? How will I ever manage to fit a fireplace in a bathroom? Why don't I have chandeliers at every turn? Where is my butler??
It's really lovely and the different textures are beautiful. I especially love that couch!
It's not my taste, but I LOVE it. Especially the wire chandelier in the bathroom!
Although we are not friends, I will say it anyway, WOWZERS!
This is the most wonderful, inspiring home I've ever seen on AT! Everything is just amazing - from the commissioned lighting (especially the bathroom chandelier, which is incredible!) to the paint colours and all the lovely artwork. It just hits a perfect balance where it is obviously impeccably designed, but without feeling staged or not lived in - in fact it feels like you could just snuggle up in one of the armchairs. Please come and design my house for me!
I love the star cushions by sarahbaily.com
I love the book wallpaper and that wire chandelier in the bathroom doesn't even look real! It's like a 3D version of one of those wall decals.
Aw, doggies are so cute! Did they do the damage to that leather club chair or was it purchased that way? I have a 15 yr old leather club chair that looks very like that one without the shredding that we call "Shanni's chair." Shanni (one of my dachshunds) has taken it over. Will it someday aquire that patina? In my lifetime?
How easy is it to clean that ginormous flocked anglepoise floor lamp? I like the look, but it seems that it once it got dirty it'd be done for. Don't care for the rough wood wall in the bedroom combined with the minimal metal headboard. I need at least one of those elements to feel comfy/cozy.
But those were the only quibbles for me, because I love the vibe of this place. I only like grey when it's dark and smoky like this. And I love dark, moody colors. Nice garden. Lovely personal tchotchkes. Oh, and those high ceilings. What I wouldn't give for those ceilings!
Love this tour! The house feels organically quirky and every seating option looks perfect for a nap. The dark colors really seem to work in this space, which was interesting to realise!
Between this house and the one in Denver, I've been loving these awesome spaces - please do more like this! The trendy stuff is great and all, but homes like these that aren't so out there like Architectural Digest but are still so unique - this is really why i come to AT!
If those fur pillows are faux then I 100% love it. Obviously I have some things I wouldn't do but in general this is a wonderful place. Soooo nice to see a unique vibe not just white walls and cautiously chosen bits about. This is personal and a great I Don't Care about interior trends.
I absolutely love it when AT posts homes like this. They must be hard to find, because they are so unique, eccentric, and rare. It's nice to see people trusting their own individual design tastes, and not simply following what's trendy. So inspirational. Bravo!
this is WONDERFUL. truly original. and that back garden is to die for.
Brilliant layering of texture upon texture. Such a coziness to the place. Very serene in spite of the wild visual contrasts. I looked at the bedroom and immediately wanted a nap.
This is my favorite house tour ever. I love it! So much to look at, so much texture... I want to live there!
I like the kitchen. I wanted to see more of it! Your style is unified but full of surprises!
Wow - although not really my style, this is an amazing use of texture and more texture. Very cozy and well done. I really like a lot of the elements here, especially the first fireplace photo with the plant on the left side of the mantle. So very interesting, thank you!
I love the style--so bohemian british--the dogs, the lamps, the wallpaper-I could go on and on. What I really love about it is that obviously the owners wealthy(ish), they are not throwing it in your face. Everything looks like it had been in the family for years-which is how a home should look like. I live in SF and that's how it used to be here but with the new influx of techies...ah well, that is another story for another time...
Now that's what I'm talking about! LOVE!
Great shapes and textures, modern and primitive. Love every lamp and table and pillow ...
this is so damn beautiful, fecund and magical! Also, I have a poodle named Maude :)
Love it. The dog fits in perfectly as well.
Mary Thompson "Interiors" and another book on decorating are featured in one shot. Do you recommend those?
I love this apt so much I'm rethinking my vision for my own place.
WOW !!! What a huge treat, to see this...When I saw the post on my news feed I was SO EXCITED...HUGE FAN of Abigail, follow her blog with interest. I've been eager to see photo's of her home since she painted in out in her new colour range..What an inspiration....I feel drawn to the aesthetics in this space..It delights the senses, offers a sense of being and comfort..
I love, love, love this!! It's so great that it's unique in decor and still cozy and homey. That exposed brick is my dream.
nice clean place. not to crazy about the dark colors or the book wallpaper. also wasn't to keen on the body hanging on the wall. other than that good job. especially liked the mirror/picture frame in all those colors. could live here.
OOOH! That chandelier!!!
That wire chandelier, I mean!
Oh what a MAGNIFICENT house! I have died and gone to heaven.
I just want to join Abigail on the big comfy couch and gab and play with the doggies.
I love house tours of this kind.
Agree with your friends...'WOWZERS'!!!
Every way you look, this house is strangely disorienting, in the most interesting way. It's an installation.
That chandelier in the bathroom is INSANE!
I love how Alice in Wonderland-y it is ;-)
Thanks for sharing!
Ok, did I miss something in the bath like where is the faucets for tub or is it filled with pitchers by the chamber maid? Not being mean just trying to understand the bath.
wow- I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. so cool!
In this case "biggest indulgence" may really not be necessary. The entire place is spectacular and definitely not budget conscious.
I love how the dogs' fur is the same texture as the pillows and throws. Amazing place, very cozy and I love the giant windows.
Fantastic home tour. Love the mix of textures, they create such coziness in the midst of all the darkness. Would love to have seen some photos of the home after dark with the amazing custom lighting lit.
Love everything but the wood behind the bed. I'd have too many nightmares of bugs in the wood.
But the art and the colors! Wow. Wish we knew more about the art!
I'm an Apt. therapy addict and end up loving many of the house tours. I think this is one of my favorites! Your home is wonderfully balanced with class, comfort, and fun whimsical touches. I'd love to live here. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE THIS HOME!!! Art, Furniture, everything. Love.
love the bathroom, but the rest looks like a junk shop... i could never relax in that space...
Dreamy personal landscape you've created here. Maude is a lovely, lovely girl, but seriously, could that schnauzer be any cuter?
You can JUST see them behind the plant: many tubs are filled from the side, not the end.
Fantastic color palette, but maybe a little overboard with the faux foliage - particularly in front of that large kitchen window suffused with natural light that practically screams out for some living greenery.
Lynne Dell said "Fashion says 'me too'. Style says 'only me'. This home is stylish! Not my particular style (personally like a lot more light) but so very unique and stylish, and when something is stylish then it is very appealing! PLEASE AT- try to find more of these fantastic 'one-of-a-kind' homes! LOVE it!
This bathroom! This backyard! This choice of colors! Incredibly beautiful space.
Amazing home, so many details caught my eye - the green vase on the gold mantle, round mirror over another mantle, bird-shaped lamp in front of mirror, the outdoor space, but that wire chandelier in the bathroom is my favorite; it looks ethereal. Thank you for sharing your home with AT.
What a groovy dog pad. And a Welsh Terrier that allows a Schnauzer into the pack, amazing, must be well socialized. We have two Wire Fox Terriers and a young MiniSchnauzer that all love each other, after the loss of another WFT that was always the brunt of live and let die disagreements. Now all is peaceful.
what a delight! love your decorating, your warmth, your dogs! thanks for sharing with us.
Nice to visit love your dogs.
Oh the lovely portraits peeking from behind the foliage....and the most perfect leather wing chair. This is what a home looks like when it's built slowly over time. More like this please
Very special. Perfect for London.
Love 90% of it,hate the wood wall. Is that awful trend EVER going to die ?
Aghhhh, why a poster of books instead of real ones? Come on...
But, except for that - a perfectly dreamy place.
Seriously. That pink dog chair/bed in the living room -- where did you find it?
I work from home and I wouldn't get a single thing done if I had that sofa. Maybe a lot of napping. But no work.
love all the texture!
David Suchet: "And now, mon ami Hastings, we shall explain the puzzle of those Dark Rooms."
This is obviously a place made through the passage of time, and without a care if it falls on, in, or out of trend as it follows none.
However, that said, it's much too fussy for my taste, and too dark for London's winters are a lot like here in Seattle, dark, cloudy, and often rainy and with that, I need to counteract the grayness with bright, cheerful colors and rooms and throw in more of a highly graphical element in there too for good measure.
That said, I love it when a homeowner has the strong design sense to do what pleases him/her and not try to copy others, unless by accident.
What color are the bathroom walls?
It's warm and very tactile. I'd love to be in one of those rooms and soak up the atmosphere.
This is another prove that the best bloggers are not just in the U.S. This is just different, beautiful and stylish. I am getting tired of bloggers to follow same patter or trend. I can stop watching those awesome picture, and yes I want to see more....
Love the dark colors, not so much the book wallpaper. Very different from what AT usually features. Glad to see it.
Love the dogs, and much about the decor.... Not so crazy about the book wallpaper...
I really admire Abigail, have for years. She's created a dramatic, fresh aesthetic - and a cool career for herself. Go you! Beautiful, unique space.
Thank you for the link! I am in love with those cushions :)
Just wow!
I came to complement the Welsh Terriers!
Wowzers is right! I love your place. I'm drawn to the deep, rich colors. I admire your ability to make so many seemingly unrelated objects, furniture, colors, and textures evolve into such a cohesive and welcoming whole. The personal standouts to me are the Sole Dad/Pepe painting and the two-fabric upholstered and tufted wing back chair. (Can I borrow those?)
Holy Moly!!! I don't comment often, but I gotta say I adore this place! Your home is amazing. I see so many bright and airy spaces (that are beautiful as well), but the coziness is so inviting. It is wonderfully dark, but not dreary. I have to say wow like earlier commenters about the wire chandelier too!
The Welsh Terriers are crazy cute! There is something relentlessly "English" about the way this place has been imagined and I love it! While it may be fussy to some, I find it to be highly personal and interesting. I love places that you talk and talk about for weeks afterwards. Nicely done!
Love her style and her courage. Happy Nezting.
Oops, nesting.
I absolutely love their style!
I like this place. It is too cluttered for me personally. It would drive me nuts. I do like looking at it though. Thanks for sharing it AT.
Love it!
I shared some pictures on my blog: http://alexandramatosdesign.blogspot.pt/2014/07/arte-nas-paredes-46.html
Dreamlike. The loose grey-green scheme, woken up by strikes of electric colour, is inspired. Everything looks squashy, oversized, curl-up-in-able - like she saw how her dogs cosy up and decided to create it on a human scale. I agree about London's dark weather challenging her colour scheme, but I daresay that's why she has so many, many lamps. Bravo!

Think perennials, trees and shrubs for years of foliage
Mainstays of a New Hampshire autumn landscape, sugar maples and "October Glory" maples bring rainbows of reds and oranges, but there are less common trees like sweet gum, and the "Full Moon" Japanese maple that really brighten things up, said Grondin.
The "Full Moon" Japanese maple offers a gradual change as autumn arrives, morphing from a brilliant lime green to golden yellow and eventually to a "fiery, orangy-red," said Grondin.
Mixing in perennials and some unusual annuals can also make the passing of summer seem not so sad, and there are lots of options, according to Crista Salamy, owner of Tenney Farm in Antrim.
And when the flowers fade, Salamy said, the texture of a variety of grasses can fill in the empty spots.
Manchester and the surrounding area falls into zones 5 and 6, while northern areas and higher elevations, including the Monadnock Region, need zones 3 and 4, she said.

NeSmith, Chung among leaders at Rolex TOC
Boys scores
Girls scores
Matthew NeSmith is tied with four others for the lead after the first round of the Rolex Tournament of Champions at Capital City Club in Alpharetta, Ga.
NeSmith, who won the FootJoy Invitational last week to qualify for the PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship in July, shot a 2-under 68 along with Vincent Martino, Austin Padova, Brad Dalke and Cody Cox.
Lee McCoy, Andy Shin, Nick Rodriguez and Tae Wan Lee are a shot back.
In the girls' division, Marijosse Navarro and Karen Chung share the top spot after posting rounds of 1-under 69. Chung won last year's Thunderbird Invitational, and is ranked No. 7 by Golfweek. Navarro still is waiting for her breakthrough. She has three AJGA titles, but despite holding the first-round lead at the 2011 Annika Invitational, has yet to win one of the elite events.
Five more players are tied for third behind Chung and Navarro. That group, at even-par 70, includes Hee Wook Choi, Jaye Marie Green, Nicole Morales, Casey Danielson and Maria Torres.
Pailin Ruttanasupagid, who advanced last week to the third round of match play at the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links is T-8 at 1-over 71 with Yu Liu.
Ariya Jutanugarn, Golfweek's top-ranked junior who won the previous two AJGA Invitationals (the Rolex Girls' Junior and the Thunderbird Invitational), is tied for 10th, another shot back.

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - A man and woman are dead after an apparent murder-suicide in Marietta.
Cobb County police believe 70 year-old Henry Harlan Wooten killed his wife of seven years, 72 year-old Kay Cornell Janus, on Sunday morning. He then walked to a nearby cul-de-sac in the 1400 block of Gateview Way and shot himself to death.
Police say that it looks like Wooten shot Janus in the garage of her home and then left the scene on foot.
Friends of the couple tell FOX 5 News that they had separated in January.
The motive for the shooting has not been determined. The incident is still under investigation.
