Second investigation launched in Ashippun over missing funds
Lions Club suspects same man for theft from account
Town of Ashippun - Jim Schlieve, who church authorities said took around $200,000 from Zion Lutheran Church, is now being investigated for between $5,000 and $10,000 missing from the Ashippun Lions Club. Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls said the department has met with the Lions and launched an investigation.
Lions Club member Jim Franke contacted the Focus after reading about the missing church funds. He said the Lions Club is also a victim and wants people to know about it. Franke said Schlieve recently wrote a letter to the club resigning and saying he plans to pay back the money from his 401(k).
No charges have been issued against Schlieve in either matter.
Schlieve declined to comment. His lawyer, Bill Gergen of Gergen Gergen & Pretto of Beaver Dam, said Schlieve is fully cooperating with police and will cooperate with the district attorney.
"Jim's primary goal is to make full restitution to both parties," Gergen said.
Franke said the Lions Club met Jan. 21. Schlieve, who was the club treasurer, was not at the meeting, although he sent a financial report indicating the club had $6,499 in its account. But the bank indicated the account balance is only about $60, Franke said.
Last week, the church issued a news release connecting Schlieve with the missing funds. According to the church, Schlieve's statement said he acknowledged taking the money.
Franke said he became suspicious of Schlieve taking money from the club, "because I knew what my wife knew (as a member of the church council)." He added that his wife could not talk publicly about the missing money until a Jan. 28 church meeting. "So I didn't say anything and waited until the following Tuesday. Then I called the club president and told him he might want to check the bank account," said Franke.
"He was the only one who had control of the checkbook," said Franke.
He said the club is able to see some evidence through checks that money that was supposed to be going to different organizations - including the Ashippun Food Pantry - had not.
Franke said they found checks written from the Lions Club account to the church endowment fund.
He said the club has "bonded together" after learning of the news, and each member of the 31-member club has been assessed $50 to "get the bank account back in the black."
Franke is worried about whether the club will be able to continue upcoming charitable efforts in the community. He said the club annually gives about six $500 scholarships to students.
"We have events coming up, and we're hoping the community comes out to support us. We need to reboot," said Franke. He added that the club is insured.
Franke said he has known Jim Schlieve for about 30 years. "He's a very good friend. This is just completely unbelievable," Franke said.
Schlieve is employed by Engine Power in Oconomowoc, where he works in customer service. The owner of the company said Schlieve has been suspended.
Franke is also a member of Zion Lutheran Church. He said that although the Rev. Bob Thays said that some have asked about clemency for Schlieve, that's not the entire picture.
"This isn't just taking a few dollars or a couple sodas from the church. It's hard for people to believe, but this is a serious amount of money," Franke said. The church held its annual meeting Sunday, when Franke said everyone would get to have their say.

It took a catastrophic, unforced error from a major U.S. Senate nominee to prove the point: In 2012, candidate quality matters - a lot.
After three consecutive wave elections - the Democratic landslides of 2006 and 2008 and the Republican revolution of 2010 - both parties have rapidly remembered that they can't always count on a national tide to sweep their candidates into office. In those cycles, an array of sub-par candidates managed to win largely on the strength of their party label, from lackluster campaigners like Virginia Democrat Jim Webb to offbeat ideologues like Kentucky Republican Rand Paul.
This year, the battle for control of the Senate has turned into a far more muddled and unpredictable affair because there's no overwhelming national tide. While Democrats started out back on their heels, defending 23 seats to the GOP's 10, the unexpected weakness of several Republican candidates has left Republicans far short of the easy takeover that some once anticipated.
(Also on POLITICO: Poll tracker)
On both sides, political missteps and candidate defects have reshaped the map in surprising ways. The most astounding example came this week, when Missouri Rep. Todd Akin threw his Senate candidacy into a state of crisis by suggesting that rape victims can stop themselves from becoming pregnant.
(PHOTOS: 5 controversial Akin quotes)
Akin has since apologized for the remark, but a long list of Republicans have pressured him to end his campaign and salvage the GOP's chances of knocking off Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
But Akin is not the only bumbling candidate to befoul his party's grand 2012 strategy. Republican strategists have voiced dismay for weeks over the Senate contest in North Dakota, where GOP Rep. Rick Berg was expected to dominate the race but instead finds himself tied or trailing Democrat Heidi Heitkamp, a sympathetic former state attorney general. On the other side, Democrats find themselves struggling to gain traction in Nevada after Rep. Shelley Berkley, the party's nominee, found herself embroiled in an ethics investigation in the House of Representatives.
The list of flaws and flubs goes on: Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic Senate nominee in strongly liberal Massachusetts, spun out a biographical flap about whether she has Cherokee heritage into a controversy that hobbled her for much of the summer. In Indiana, conservative state Treasurer Richard Mourdock has failed to establish a lead over Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly in the aftermath of a slashing GOP primary that turned off moderate voters.
If both parties have suffered from candidate malpractice in 2012, the brunt of the damage seems to have fallen on Republicans. With more than half a dozen credible takeover opportunities, many of them in conservative-leaning states, today only one Democratic-held seat looks like a sure thing for the GOP: the one currently occupied by retiring Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson.
Now, with 11 weeks to Election Day, Republican and Democratic strategists have begun to reflect on the reality that these races really might come down to the tactics and performance of individual candidates. And Republicans are starting to fume that the party may have jeopardized a historic opportunity.
"For all the criticism of professional politicians, there's something to be said for being a professional politician and knowing what you're doing," said Republican super-strategist Mike Murphy, who said the Akin debacle was enough to make one yearn for the age when "bosses were in charge of making sure that things are kept under control."
"Forget about the disgusting premise of [Akin's] statement, when you commit an act of candidate incompetence, it's totally justified to ask if you want that person to carry the standard," Murphy said. "The parties are weaker now so they can't discipline. Primary voters can run amok."
If candidate and campaign quality matter immensely in the 2012 cycle, it's not as though the performance of individual nominees hasn't been decisive at other times over the past half-decade. Democrats came just shy of winning a Tennessee Senate seat in 2006, when Republican Bob Corker outfoxed Democrat Harold Ford and drove the up-and-coming congressman to pull up stakes and leave the Volunteer State. In the 2010 Republican wave, nominating ideologically extreme - and in some cases, downright kooky - candidates denied the party Senate seats in Delaware, Colorado and Nevada.
"Candidates always matter. Even in wave elections like 2010, you saw a handful of races where the wave was stopped, in part because of the quality of the candidates," said Democratic strategist Mo Elleithee. "This ain't a wave election, which means that the candidate quality matters even more. Candidates that are that out of touch with the electorate, they just can't get very far in election years like this."
Republican media consultant Curt Anderson said the party left Senate "seats on the table" two years ago "by nominating terrible candidates in Nevada and Colorado," and said the GOP would have to be more aggressive about recruiting compelling nominees in the future.
"We've got to get out of the business of nominating the next congressman whose turn it is," Anderson said.
Taking corrective action is easier said than done. Both parties seek to goad their strongest candidates into Senate races. This year, they've had some success at stretching the map by recruiting impressive contenders for long-shot races: Republicans persuaded former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle to take a shot at her state's open Senate seat, while Democrats are putting up former Surgeon General Richard Carmona, a decorated Vietnam veteran, in Arizona.
In an ever more democratized political age, parties also risk backlash if they meddle too overtly in an activist-dominated nominating process. And they pay a price when, as in Akin's case, a more vulnerable candidate comes out on top in a primary.
If Republicans couldn't stop Akin and other feeble candidates from winning their party's primaries, the national GOP is bringing down the hammer now. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has indicated that it will not put money into the Missouri Senate race this fall if Akin stays on the ballot, while the conservative independent expenditure group Crossroads GPS canceled a set of TV reservations there.
In a statement Monday, NRSC Chairman John Cornyn called Akin's offending comments "indefensible" and sent a none-too-subtle message that he should step back from the race.
"I recognize that this is a difficult time for him, but over the next 24 hours, Congressman Akin should carefully consider what is best for him, his family, the Republican Party, and the values that he cares about and has fought for throughout his career in public service," Cornyn said.
However the Akin situation shakes out, J.B. Poersch, the former executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, sounded an upbeat note in an email Monday musing over the GOP's field of recruits.
"The tea party has boxed Cornyn in from doing any real recruiting. Heitkamp and [Montana Sen. Jon] Tester and Donnelly are better candidates. They just are," he said.
One Republican acknowledged that "the world order is different these days," explaining: "If there's any lesson that anyone learned from 2010, it cannot be seen as Washington hand-picking the candidates."
Akin has given little indication so far that he intends to withdraw, and it's too soon to say whether his remarks about rape will leave him doomed against McCaskill. Still, Republicans sounded a despairing note about the state of the Senate map this week and there's broad consensus in Washington that the party's path to a majority has grown slimmer over the last year.
"It's a big freakin' disaster," said one frustrated strategist, who said Akin was only the most flagrant example of political malfeasance. "We just have a bad crop right now, of candidates, who are running bad campaigns."
The Akin example is particularly galling to some Republicans because of the way he emerged as their nominee; he got a late boost in a three-way primary when McCaskill aired commercials attacking him as "too conservative" - not exactly a turnoff to primary voters.
That revived memories of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's successful campaign to tear down his more formidable 2010 opponents and make Sharron Angle, an eccentric and politically amateurish former state legislator, the GOP's exceedingly beatable nominee.
"When liberals are helping a Republican in the primary, there's a strategic reason," said Florida-based GOP strategist Brian Hughes. "Akin wasted no time proving that McCaskill's team made an excellent investment. Republicans should either find a way to replace him, or the party should focus its resources on other Senate races."

A Cessna Citation CJ3, unable to stop on 4,000-foot Runway 23 at Florida's Spruce Creek Airport, ended up partially submerged in a pond just off the departure end of the runway. None of the three people aboard was injured in the accident. Spruce Creek is a residential airpark of aircraft hangars and homes.
"We have fun owners!" laughed airpark community developer Mike Ciochetti, when asked what best described the kind of people who live in the exclusive Heaven's Landing located just outside Clayton, Ga., surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest.
There are angels to meet you here at the Heaven's Landing NBAA booth (No. 7914), but lovely as they may be, they are of the earthly variety. The actual Heaven's Landing is an exclusive estate airpark like nothing else on earth, the developers claim.
BELL 206L-1, NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FLA., FEB. 16, 2002–A pilot and his revenue passenger died while trying to land at the Spruce Creek Airport (7FL6), a residential air park six miles south of Daytona Beach (Fla.) International Airport. The Part 135 air-taxi flight, operated by Universal Air Service, originated from Orlando, Fla., at 0550.
Geneva AirPark, a private hangar/ office development at Switzerland's Geneva International Airport, received official building approval, according to developer Charles Aufranc, and construction will begin following ground preparation later this year. The new facility should open in the fourth quarter of next year, Aufranc said.
Local airports frequently attract negative attention. Ocean County, N.J. officials are trying to fend off this perception by emphasizing the local airport's potential to help industry develop, thereby reducing the tax burden for residents. Ocean County officials envision county-owned R.J. Miller Airpark (MJX) in Tom's River, N.J., developing into a major business aviation center, serving the area between New York and Philadelphia.
The NTSB continues its investigation into the April 14 crash of a 1985 King Air 300 while being vectored in VMC to Spruce Creek Airport, a private residential airport community south of Daytona Beach, Fla. One of two occupants suffered serious injuries and the turboprop twin was destroyed when it crash landed in a field.
A new business aviation airport appears set to emerge in New Jersey, where the two major facilities serving business jets, Teterboro and Morristown, are at or near capacity. The third bizav facility was one of the subjects under discussion at the 2006 New Jersey Aviation Conference in Trenton on May 10.

Photos of the "Twelve O'Clock Boys" by Noah Rabinowitz. Lotfy Nathan's film about the Twelve O'Clock Boys plays this weekend at Sundance's Next Weekend in Los Angeles.
One City - Eight Artists - Seven Days: Baltimore from XXIST on Vimeo.
Art in the streets.
One City - Eight Artists - Seven Days: Baltimore documents the production of the Stereoscopic 3D Mural and thanks all 57 backers of the Kickstarter project. If you've got 33 minutes, it's well worth the trip.
The Stereoscopic 3D Mural, an anaglyphic 3D piece of artwork in the heart of Baltimore's art district, is now complete! Looks beautiful.
A collaboration between designers Jessica Karle Heltzel and Tim Hoover, founders of the site 100 Days of Design Entrepreneurship, Kern and Burn aims to dissect the professional lives of designers who forgo traditional agency jobs in favor of following their own dreams and aspirations and, in turn, creating self-initiated careers. Always amazing to watch creators take the power back from their industries and find ways to magically create their own worlds, in turn inspiring the next generation of designers to do the same. And so, it is our Project of the Day.
The Internet has long been heralded as a game-changing force for the arts industry, but, for many creative types, it's been mostly responsible for the proliferation of piracy, illegal downloading, and wreaking havoc on established business models. Still, the feeling that its egalitarian nature could produce unique opportunities for emerging artists has persisted, and now, Kickstarter has begun to fulfill that promise. A high-tech take on arts patronage, Kickstarter is being used by Baltimore artists to bankroll a diverse array of projects that might not otherwise get funding — from a documentary film about urban dirt-bike riders to Showbeast.
—Kickstarting the Arts Scene. We thought this piece from Baltimore Magazine was fantastic.
Today's Project of the Day is the first season of 1,000 Fathoms.
"Internet Killed the Radio Star." That is not a song, because it's not true! Exhibit A — Baltimore's Erin Gleeson, whose voice has been heard loud and clear wherever radio waves can travel. In order to ensure its fruitful history, Gleeson is working on the first season of her own show — 1000 Fathoms, which will combine wild real world stories with top-notch tunes from Baltimore's finest, including Dan Deacon, Future Islands and more. Tune in!
LAST CALL for Matt Porterfield's I Used To Be Darker. $36k down. $4k to go. 27 hours to get there. After Porterfield's knockout guest post on The Kickstarter Blog, how could you not want to roll deep with the guy?
This is Porterfield's second KSR project. His first, Putty Hill, had a healthy run on the festival circuit and a critically-acclaimed theatrical release. The fiercely independent Maryland filmmaker has spent the past decade honing his craft—a uniquely empathetic brand of realist Baltimore filmmaking where truths emerge through the atmosphere and sincerity is not a dirty word. Just like his Kickstarter videos, Porterfield's films are honest, reflective, and quietly urgent. He describes I Used To Be Darker as a film about "people finding each other and letting each other go." As his absurd project video attests, Porterfield is most definitely in it to win it.

The Agate Fossil Beds are nationally significant because of their numerous, concentrated, well-preserved Miocene mammal fossils, which represent an important chapter in the history of life, one that is not now adequately represented in the National Park System. This site is significant too because of the important contributions made here by the early pioneers of scientific research in the West. The area also meets suitability and feasibility requirements for a National Monument.
Based on these conclusions it is recommended that the area described in this report be established as the Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, and that the necessary steps be taken as soon as possible to achieve the establishment of this area as a unit of the National Park System.
This area with its wealth of impressive and easily exposed fossil remains has unusual and interesting development opportunities to facilitate its public use, understanding, and enjoyment. The important story here would be presented through various interpretive methods.
The major interpretive story would be planned in the vicinity of Carnegie and University Hills, the sites of the principal quarries. The National Park Service would expose representative fossil remains at these sites by tunneling into the hills and removing the overburden of sediments above the two to three feet thick horizontal fossil beds. A visitor could then see the fossil skeletons of many creatures just as they were left fifteen million years ago when quieted by the stillness of death. Through certain interpretive display techniques, visitors could feel themselves closely associated with life of this now vanished scene. Also, they would have the opportunity to observe scientists exposing the deposits, reconstructing some of the skeletons and reliefing certain fossils in place. To complement the in-place exhibits in telling the story of life represented here, a series of museum exhibits also would be prepared.
The exposure of some fossils for in-place exhibits and the removal of others for laboratory use or museum exhibition would necessitate careful and meticulous excavation, reliefing and preservation techniques. Paleontological laboratory facilities would be required throughout the many years excavation and reliefing work would be carried on. The site would be maintained as a research center with facilities not only for field work on fossil remains, but would be provided with reference material, including an adequate library and reference collection of fossils.
An adequate structure would be built at the selected quarry site to provide for these activities. In-place exhibits would be provided at the Stenomylus Quarry and "Devil's Corkscrew" sites.
The National Monument headquarters would be developed in the vicinity of the Agate Springs Ranch and would consist of a visitor center, employee housing and maintenance buildings. In addition, a campground would be developed nearby.
The visitor center would be the initial contact station for Monument visitors. It would be comprised principally of an exhibit room and administrative offices. Here would be exhibited the Indian artifacts and historical materials making up the famous collection which Mrs. Cook intends to donate. Through these and additional exhibit materials would be portrayed the contribution of early scientists who worked here, the story of the Cook family and its contribution to early ranching, and Captain Cook's association with the Indians. Only enough paleontological information to stimulate the visitor's interest would be provided at the headquarters visitor center. The major paleontological story would be presented at the quarries as previously described.
A system of roads and trails would be developed for easy access to the many points of interest.
The rich natural history of this area would be interpreted by park naturalists through the medium of conducted walks, museum talks and evening lecture programs. Interpretive markers, self-guiding trails and wayside exhibits would provide interesting details of the scientific story for the benefit of those exploring on their own.
The proposed Agate Fossil Beds National Monument consists of approximately 3,150 acres. The principal area is irregular in shape, four miles long from east to west, and varies in width from three-fourths to almost two miles. A small detached area of 60 acres containing the Stenomylus Quarry is included in the total acreage. Also included is a connecting road right-of-way approximately 1.5 miles long and 200 feet wide. This area would preserve the famous Agate Springs Fossil Quarries at Carnegie and University Hills and their immediate surroundings; a representative portion of excellent "Devil's Corkscrew" formations; the Stenomylus Quarry; and a scenic stretch of the Niobrara River bluffs which today is somewhat indicative of the ancient scene here in Miocene times. It would also protect from unsightly developments the unspoiled scene along the existing roads; preserve the locale at the Agate Springs Ranch where scientific groups based their early historic operations; and provide space for the necessary public and administrative facilities.
The Agate Fossil Beds National Monument is proposed as a unit of the National Park System to be administered under the provisions of the 1916 Act which established the National Park Service. Preservation for public enjoyment would be the basic guiding principle.

Tim Participacoes SA, Brazil's third- biggest wireless carrier, will find it easier to acquire companies after extending voting rights to all shareholders, Chief Executive Officer Luca Luciani said.
The plan to exchange 0.8406 voting shares for each nonvoting share makes Tim's stock more liquid in Brazil and the U.S., Luciani said today in a phone interview. That gives the Rio de Janeiro-based company, controlled by Telecom Italia SpA (TIT), more flexibility to use shares in transactions, he said.
Tim is on the lookout for network infrastructure such as the nationwide fiber-optic network it acquired in 2009 by buying Intelig Telecomunicacoes Ltda., said Luciani, 43. Tim issued new stock and assumed debt as part of that takeover.
"The same potential deal could be much more efficient now with shares of higher liquidity that have been re-rated," Luciani said. "In Brazil, there are many opportunities in the infrastructure area."
Tim's nonvoting shares rose 54 centavos, or 7.8 percent, to 7.48 reais in Sao Paulo trading at 4:10 p.m. New York time, the biggest increase since December 2008. The voting shares rose 59 centavos, or 7.2 percent, to 8.78 reais.
The change in shareholder rights is part of Tim's move to join the Sao Paulo stock exchange's Novo Mercado, which requires all shares to have voting rights as part of its stricter disclosure requirements.
Transparency Increased
"We see this development as very positive," Andre Baggio, a Sao Paulo-based analyst at JPMorgan Chase & Co., wrote in a note to clients yesterday. The plan will increase liquidity and transparency, he said.
The company, which trails Vivo Participacoes SA and America Movil SAB (AMXL) in Brazilian wireless subscribers, has gained market share in the past year by offering plans with unlimited calling to other Tim subscribers and to fixed lines. Tim held 25.1 percent of the market at the end of March, up from 23.7 percent a year earlier, according to Anatel, Brazil's telecommunications regulator. Vivo had 29.5 percent and America Movil had 25.4 percent.
Brazil's wireless market growth has accelerated in each of the seven months ending in March, when it was up 17.5 percent to 210.5 million total subscribers, according to Anatel. The pace of growth will probably continue to speed up this year as competition makes service more affordable and more customers sign up for Internet plans, Luciani said.
'Room for Growth'
"Competition is quite high, that will mean SIM penetration can accelerate," Luciani said, referring to the removable SIM cards used to connect phone handsets to networks. "There's a lot of room for growth in Brazil, not only in voice but in data."
Data services such as Internet access will make up about 20 percent of Tim's revenue by the end of this year, up from 14 percent last quarter, Luciani said. Voice service will continue to grow as customers use their mobile phones instead of land lines, he said.
While Vivo, controlled by Telefonica SA (TEF), and America Movil are both combining their fixed-line and wireless businesses, Tim prefers to remain a wireless-only competitor, Luciani said.
"It is a big advantage," he said. "We can focus all our investments in mobile technologies that are much more efficient so that we can offer a higher return on invested capital to the shareholders. Mobile infrastructure in Brazil is an advantage."

How to Plant Sunflower Seeds
Sunflowers are annual plants that produce large or small yellow flowers in the summer. Sunflowers are very popular because of their beauty, and because they are easy to grow. Planting sunflower seeds in the spring can be a fun activity for adults and children. You can plant sunflower seeds with a minimum of time and preparation.
1Choose seeds. Purchase sunflower seeds from a seed catalog, a store or online. Sunflower seeds are easy to find just about anywhere, and you will have several varieties to choose from.
- You can purchase sunflower seeds that will produce plants with very large flowers. Some people like to grow sunflowers to see how large they can grow the sunflower heads.
- Plants can be purchased that produce small flowers with several flowers to a stalk.
- You may want to pay attention to what type of seeds are produced by the flowers. Some sunflower seeds can be eaten by humans or fed to the birds. There are white, black, and striped seeds to consider when you purchase sunflower seeds.
- Pay attention to how tall the plants will grow. You will want to choose plants that have a height appropriate for the area where you will plant them.
2Pick a location. Decide where you are going to plant your sunflower seeds.
- Sunflowers grow best in full sun.
- The head of the sunflower turns to face the east where the sun rises. You may want to consider this when deciding which side of the garden you will choose to plant your seeds.
- You may want to consider the height of the plants when deciding where to plant your seeds. Sunflowers are often used as a border in the garden.
- Sunflowers can be planted against a wall. The wall provides protection for the plant from the wind. You will need to be sure the plants will still be receiving sufficient sunlight. About 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight is recommended.
3Prepare the soil by loosening it with a garden tiller.
4Plant your seeds in average to rich soil. Sunflowers are hardy and can grow almost anywhere; however, they may not be stable if planted in sandy soil. Sunflowers need a good hold with their roots in order to stand.
- You can add compost or manure to the soil before planting the seeds to aid in the growth of your sunflowers.
5Plant sunflower seeds as soon as the danger of the last frost in your area has past.
6Space sunflowers apart depending on the type of seeds you are planting.
- Giant sunflowers should be spaced about 3 feet (90 cm) apart in rows that are 4 feet (120 cm) apart.
- Medium sunflowers should be spaced about 2 feet (60 cm) apart in rows that are 3 feet (90 cm) apart.
- Small sunflowers should be space about 1 foot (30 cm) apart in rows that are 3 feet (90 cm) apart.
7Plant sunflowers at a depth of 1 to 3.5 inches (2.5 to 9 cm).Ad
Are you an expert on automobiles?
If so, share what you know about how to remove rust from chrome in cars.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- After planting, you may want to cover your seeds with a screen to keep the birds from eating the seeds.
- Don't plant it up against brickwork as stalks could grow between bricks and ruin it.

Typically less affluent than the "Affluent Home Owning Couples & Families", these residents live in smaller less expensive semi and detached properties in small towns and pleasant suburbs. We see a mix of couples, singles and families. Typically homes are mortgaged although some are owned outright. Although this group includes directors, the majority are occupied in professional, white and blue collar employment. Car ownership is high as most residents use private transport to travel to work. Typically responsive to mail order, they are quite able to maintain repayments. They read a mix of newspapers.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul was being shut out.
Poor Representative Ron Paul, he just doesn't amount to much does he? That odd little old man Ron Paul and that egotistical ex-Representative and nut case Gingrich need to give it up and go home.
It's too bad all we'll be left with is the best of the worst.

HELENA — A northwestern Montana man shot and killed the host of the Sportsman Channel show "A Rifleman's Journal" in an apparent jealous rage while the TV personality was visiting the shooter's wife, police said Friday.

HELENA — A bill to limit damages awarded to people unlawfully fired from their jobs would make it more difficult for former employees to take legal action against an employer, opponents of the measure said Friday.

HELENA — Months before Shane Todd's girlfriend found his body hanging in his Singapore apartment last June, the engineer told his parents he thought his life was threatened and that he was being asked to do something that might hurt U.S. national security. They were skeptical from the start when a Singapore detective said their son killed himself by setting up an elaborate rope-and-pulley system in his bathroom, then jumping from a chair with a cord around his neck. It was only later they came to believe he had been murdered over his research in New Jersey into material used to make heat-resistant semiconductors, a technology with both civilian and military applications.

HELENA — A federal judge said Friday that the state properly gave a federal grand jury documents dealing with a secretive conservative group. The ruling comes in a case surrounding the disputed files connected to American Tradition Partnership.
HELENA — Montana's university system has reversed its decision to pay $2 million for the archaeological and paleontological rights to a ranch that two state agencies purchased late last year. The system didn't have the money to make the purchase and it was difficult to determine how much the rights are worth at the site in north-central Montana, Commissioner of Higher Education Clayton Christian told the Board of Regents on Thursday.

Legend of Korra, "Be the Peaf Prompt 4"
Fic by: ironinkpen
Prompt: "I've spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore."
Rating: T
Pairing: None
Enjoying tea with an interesting stranger was one of life's true delights.
At least, that was what Uncle had once told him.
So, as he sat in the little Earth-Kingdom tea shop, he wondered if the winds of change would bring him a companion for this fine, sunny day. It had been too long since he had conversed with someone face-to-face. While letters from his daughter were always nice, Messenger Hawks could only convey so much.
He looked up from his tea as the bell signifying entrance to the diner rung. A young woman sauntered in, a filthy straw hat hiding her face from view.
Raising an eyebrow, curiosity spurring him to observe as the shopkeeper scurried over to the newcomer, immediately offering her basically everything on the menu. It was then that the older man noticed that there was hardly anyone else in the restaurant- not that he minded. He needed the peace and quiet, after all.
The stranger kindly declined his promises of lunch and asked for a simple cup. The owner, though disheartened, complied, leaving her to her own instruments.
To the old man's surprise, the girl made her way to him.
"Mind if I sit?" She asked, her tone light and friendly as she gestured to the empty spot across the small table.
"Go ahead." He replied easily, sipping at his drink lazily. The woman simpered gratefully, lowering herself onto the small mat.
There was silence for a few seconds as the two regarded each other.
"I'd appreciate it if you didn't ask about my age." She stated, settling into her seat. Quick girl, he noted. He was going to make a comment about her youth- she was only about eighteen, at the most- but it seemed she beat him to the punch.
"Well, I'd appreciate it if you didn't ask about my scar." He shot back, blinking simply. The girl chuckled, elbows resting on the table as she leaned in.
"Deal, old man." She drawled, gracefully accepting her cup as the host returned. "Thank you!"
"A-Ah, yes." The owner was a nervous fellow, and he seemed to jump at her words. She gave him a sweet smile and he relaxed, bowing and making his way back to the kitchen.
"A shaking palm can, at times, make the sweetest tea." The elder mused, nursing his drink. The strange girl sighed in satisfaction as she took a slight sample.
"I have to agree with you on that, old timer. I haven't had tea this good in a long time." Her eyes closed in bliss as she took another gulp.
"I've found that tea from home is always the most savory. As good as this tea is," He paused, resting his container on the table. "My Uncle's will always be the best."
"Ah, I guess I can see what you mean…" She hummed appreciatively, but lips tugged into a frown.
"What's the matter?" She glanced up as he spoke. "Something is troubling you, Miss. If it helps, you can talk to me."
She stared at him for a moment before sagging forward.
"I suppose…" She exhaled, setting down her tea. "I suppose I'm just wondering where 'home' really is."
"You don't have a family?" The old man's brows drew together in worry. The girl put her hand up, shaking her head.
"That's not it- Not at all." She nudged her hat, allowing it to fall down to her back. Brown hair cascaded to her shoulders, now free of all restraint. Her blue eyes were stark against her dark skin, holding knowledge and pain beyond her years. "I just… I've spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore…"
He couldn't help but stare at the young beauty in front of him. It wasn't that he was admiring her looks- she certainly was attractive, but he was far too old to be leering at every pretty girl who crossed his path. It was that there was something familiar in those orbs of hers; something he had once known. It hung at the edge of his consciousness, nagging him as he squinted at her.
"A 'ghost'?" He finally cleared his throat, sensing her discomfort. "What do you mean?"
"A ghost." She waved her hand at the air, gesturing to absolutely nothing. "Invisible, off-the-radar… I've seen so much of the world through a new view, and I've been wondering… Do I even belong somewhere anymore? Or do I belong," She flicked her wrist again, "Everywhere?"
He mulled over this for a second. The girl obviously had a burden on her shoulders- one he couldn't even begin to fathom. That feeling tugged at the pit of his stomach again; something told him he knew this girl, even though he had never met her before.
"I was once told by someone wise…" He began, picking up his drink again. "That fate works in odd ways. The wind can blow you in any direction, but it will often take you to right where you should be."
"That's really cryptic, old man." She pouted, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"That's true. I always used to complain to my Uncle that he was too broad with his words, as well. I never understood him- until now, that is."
"Your Uncle sounds very worldly." She mused, finger absently twirling over the steam.
"He was." He agreed, attending to her with interest. "He would have told me something about the importance of love, at this point. I am not as wise, nor as worldly as him, but I believe 'Home' is whatever place your heart identifies as 'Home'."
His eyes traced her movements, still trying to piece together what was so familiar about her. He was about to ask her if she did, in fact, know him, but then he noticed something odd.
Her digit was moving several inches above the steam, yet the hot air seemed to twist to her touch.
It clicked.
"You know…" Her face lit up, and she grasped her cup. "I think you're right!"
"I'm often told that I am." He winked, finishing his tea. He watched as she did the same, already beginning to shuffle around her pouch for spare yuans. "Being the Avatar does not mean you can't be you. You do not have to travel the world on your own and learn on your own. You can always find people to walk beside you. I think it's about time to return to where you belong. Don't you think so, too, Korra?"
"You knew?" She tilted her head at him in mild surprise, setting her money down on the table. It was enough to pay for the two of them. "I thought I was doing such a good job of disguising myself, too…"
"You can't fool the eyes of one who has seen much." The wrinkles on his face crinkled as he smiled.
"I suppose I should have known I couldn't trick the Firelord." She beamed, not at all phased by the man's intuitiveness. "Aang has told me much about you, Zuko."
"I'm sure he has." He tittered, relaxing in his seat. "You knew it was me the whole time?"
"Well, the scar kinda gives it away." Korra rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "But, honestly, I really just wanted someone to talk to. Even if you weren't- well, you- I just wanted to have some tea with someone."
"Not something you hear every day, from someone so young." He pointed out, shifting to stand. She followed his example, getting on her feet and offering him her hand.
"I know." She whined dramatically, pulling him up. "I sound so old."
"Sometimes sounding old can be good- if you haven't noticed, old people often help others out." He poked her in the temple, smirking.
"I guess you're right." She allowed, releasing his hand. Before he could even react, her arms were around him and he was pulled into a tight embrace.
There was another tug there, but it was different. It was sad, but it was also wonderful.
"It has been too long, Zuko." She muttered against his ear, hugging him close. He lifted his shaking hands to her shoulder blades.
"It has, old friend." He replied, pulling back. He didn't say anything else because nothing else needed to be said. She was appeasing his heart- something he suspected she had been doing for the whole year she had been travelling. She had been pushing back her own desires to allow others happiness. He would not allow his selfishness to burden her.
Understanding his silence, she turned, making her way for the exit.
"Thank you, old man!" She repositioned her hat, shielding her identity once more. To the world, she was a travelling, helpful vagabond. A vigilante of sorts- always jumping into trouble and always solving problems.
But, he knew she was much more than that.
She was Korra.
"Where are you going now?" He called out, the words tumbling from his lips before he realized it. She paused right outside the doorway, looking back at him. The grin on his face told her he already knew.
He watched as she smiled to herself, looking out at the blue sky and suddenly feeling very warm. A gentle breeze past over her, edging her towards her next destination. The word was on the tip of her tongue, sweet and comfortable. Zuko felt it- her heart was cleared.
Having tea with a stranger, Zuko decided, really was one of life's true delights.
But, having tea with a friend was much, much better.

It has been a difficult week, and I'm not just talking about the Braves' exit or the fact that Nancy Graceless apparently had some sort of wardrobe malfunction on Dancing with the Mutants, which brought the world to a standstill, wiped out half the planet's vegetation and destroyed the good and the innocence that exists inside all of us.
But the really difficult week has been in Flowery Branch, where everybody has been looking at game film and coming to the realization: "Wow. We really stink. Has Nancy ever played left tackle? Because really, she can't be any worse than Sam Baker, although he might look better in sequins."
The Falcons are 1-2 so, yeah, they've still got 13 games left. But they've got problems. When the quarterback seems to call plays better than the offensive coordinator, and too many guys on defense still look at each other with that Scooby Doo, rut-roh gaze in their eyeballs, and linemen aren't even stopping pass-rushers long enough to collect a 50-cent toll … well, I'm thinking: Last Tango in Playoffs.
Ryan has been sacked 13 times. He has been hit 479 times, I think. He probably has been hit as much as Michael Vick, the only difference being that Ryan isn't looking to press charges while holding up his paw like some wounded puppy. (Dog analogy was completely accidental. Sorta.)
This week, it's Seattle. This game would've been more fun if Jim Mora were still coaching the Seahawks. But alas, he has been committed.
The Falcons are 0-2 on the road. They have scored one offensive touchdown in eight quarters on the road. Confidence: not oozing. But the line is 4½, and I'm willing to dance. Assuming limited malfunctions: Falcons win and cover.
School Daze
Other Bulldogs at Trembling Chihuahuas: Georgia is 2-0 since the season ended. One juicy subplot: Mississippi State rang the Mark Richt Job Alarm last season with an upset in Starkville, the Dogs' first loss to MSU in 36 years. On a related note, Dan Mullen is interviewing realtors at halftime. Wait, who said that? Dogs cover 7.
Georgia Tech at N.C. State: The Jackets are 4-0 for the first time since their 1990 national title season. They've averaged over 600 yards and 53 points per game and next plan to conquer Eastern Europe. OK, so they've beaten a few Lichtenstein's. But that doesn't explain how a triple-option coach like Paul Johnson is getting higher marks for his passing attack than the Falcons? Tech covers 9½.
Alabama at Florida: A young Tampa TV reporter asked Will Muschamp this week if he had "kind of a Master vs Padawan thing going on" in his relationship with his mentor Nick Saban. Muschamp looked at her like she was from Neptune. The rest of the media just figured she had been separated from her middle school group at Dragon*Con. Actually, I've got no problem with Star Wars analogies. But stick with the basics: like Charlie Weis and Jabba The Hutt, separated at birth. Tide cover 4.
Arkansas vs. Texas A&M: In a moment of sheer irony that only Bobby Petrino could provide, Beelzebub responded to a question about
SEC expansion this way: "Why don't we do all this stuff after the football season?" Gee, I dunno. Maybe Texas A&M just couldn't wait two more games and preferred lying to their bosses and sneaking out of town for a midnight news conference in Pigville. Oh no, wait. That was you. Aggies cover 3.
Auburn at South Carolina: Cam Newton had 11 touchdowns in two games against the Gamecocks last season. Steve Spurrier's return this season can be tied directly to the NFL draft. Carolina wins, but take Auburn and 10.
Clemson at Virginia Tech: Dabo Swinney has beaten ranked teams (Auburn, Florida State) two straight weeks. Maybe I misjudged him. Naaaaw. Hokies cover 7.
For his comments, Bobby Petrino deserves the, "Fish Slapping Dance."
NFL Value Meals
(Add fries and a DeAngelo Hall alibi for 99 cents)
49ers at Eagles: Michael Vick is complaining that he gets hit too much. I thought prison was supposed to toughen you up? Philly wins, but take San Fran and 9.
Redskins at Rams: DeAngelo Hall followed bogus threats of hitting Tony Romo in the ribs by not getting near Romo and whiffing several times on wide receiver Dez Bryant, unless you count when he grabbed Bryant's face mask after allowing a 30-yard reception on third-and-21 to set up the Cowboys' winning field goal. How many ways can you spell "punk"? Rams win a pick 'em.
Lions at Cowboys: Matthew Stafford: 9 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, 977 yards and 3-0 after three games. Amazing what happens when he stays healthy and doesn't have to play Florida. Make that 4 straight: Detroit (plus 1) wins in a slight upset.
Patriots at Raiders: The Boston Globe website had eight links on their Internet home page about Tom Brady's haircut. There was only one story about a Massachusetts man who plotted to blow up the Pentagon and Capitol. Bad hair. Pats cover 4½
In dishonor of Nancy and DeAngelo, "Dancing With Myself" seems appropriate.
Progress report
Last week (slightly overcast): 7-4 straight up, 6-5 against the spread.
Bottom dollars (four weeks): 36-14 straight up, 33-16-1 against the spread.
"Sack Schultz" update: Ms. Linda Folsom of Cartersville was the local and national winner, going 15-0. Are these folks going 15-0 using a Ouija board or something? Yes, you CAN still enter and win big. Go to ajc.com/go/sack-schultz. Then I shall mock your selections.

The braves have choked so bad that they have been mathematically eliminated from next year's post-season play too.
now that's a choke, boy

Ok, so last week I said take UNC and the points. You gave the spread at 6 1/2, but the spread was 7, so I'm claiming a push. I also said that the Dawgs would cover, so I figure I was 1-0. Debate it if you wish.
I'm going with the same combo. Take NCState and the 10 (the spread is 10, Jeffe'). Dawgs cover the 7. Missy State is overrated. Their claim to fame was almost beating Auburn, which proved not to be such a big deal.
Bonus pick – VT brings the Fighting Dabo's back to earth…although it would happen to be one of the few times that I'd actually like for Clempson to win.

whoa whoa whoa Bass – shouldn't you be saying "Go Braves….and take all of the .500 and below teams with you (i.e. Falcons and Dawgs)"

What are the chances a year from now Larry Drew is the longest tenured pro coach in town? Scenarios:
Lockout cancels season so Drew doesn't get fired until next November
Falcons at 5-11
Braves finish next season with 90 losses and de ja voux all over again, Chris Medlin pitching the last of the ninth because Kimbrell does a post-Leyritz Wohlers meltdown.
Hockey team moves to town the size of Dawsonville (done)

Jeff…great column as usual but looking back on your Nancy Grace and DWS comments…here's an idea for you…pick the football coaches you'd like to see on "Dancing…" Come on, if Chaz Bono and Nancy Grace can be chosen, could tapping maybe say… Phil Fulmer, Ralph Friedgen or Charley Weis be any worse?? I'd watch every second to see those guys and whoever else dance…of course a wardrobe malfunction on something Fulmer or Weis would wear would be a bit much.

I will not watch any more baseball until the Braves get consistent hitters to fill the lineup. And they might as well get some new starters unless they can throw Hudson out every day.
Don't start Jurjeinns or Hanson until next September. Maybe then they will stay healthy till the end of the season. Go Milwaukee! To hell with the Phillies and Cardinals!

A few comments: about UGA football:
1. Four different SEC teams have won the last five BCS championships.
2. UGA was not one of those teams.
3. During that period, UGA did not win the SEC championship.
4. During that period, UGA did not even win its SEC division.
5. Red panties.
In other words, UGA has sunk into total irrelevancy both regionally and nationally.
So why is UGA paying Mark Richt almost four million dollars a year?
September 29th, 2011

I was 15 & O as well but the sorry Br
aves & Falcons ruined my week time to turn this Falcon season around big win
coming look for the Dirty Birds to roll !!!!

And WTF was Kimbrell throwing last night, that never hit the strike zone on his walks? Just throw the freaking fastball!

Schultz would give his firstborn child to be one tenth as popular as Nancy Grace.
September 29th, 2011

Big beatdown coming: Ms St 31, UGA 17
A fun game to watch as Richt's goons go down in flames again.
September 29th, 2011
5:38 pm
Good Stuff JS- can you imagine if Nancy Grace & Chaz Bono were dancing together, may have to gouge out my eyeballs with a hot spoon.
Back to football- sick & tired of seeing Matt Ryan on his butt, O-line needs to get their stuff together asap or Ryan won't last the whole season. Rooting for Detroit over Dallas & a UGA win!!!
September 29th, 2011

Didn't you pick the Falcons on the road last week?
September 29th, 2011

Charlie Manuel will be wishing he had his pitchers give Chipper a gopher ball in extras last night, right after the plucky St. Louis Cards knock them out of the post season…
September 29th, 2011
5:49 pm
In order to get the majors, all hitters hit fastballs. Kimbrel needed to spot the breaking stuff better. You saw what happened when Cole tried to get the #1 past Uggla. It's the same all over…
September 29th, 2011

I wouldn't advise claiming a push on a bet like this with any of Whitey Bulger's buddies.

To beat Auburn 6 out of 10 and Tech 9 out of 10

Did Vegas See the Dawgs play Ole Miss….And although they kinda stumped a toe last week, did they watch State go toe to toe with LSU for 3 quarters.
September 29th, 2011
6:18 pm
And how many times has Richt beat Florida?
September 29th, 2011
6:22 pm
Until somebody scores more than 14 points on the TIde I am not sure anyone can beat us. The LSU/Alabama game is starting to look like the National Championship Semi-finals.

September 29th, 2011
6:52 pm
Schultz, Do you just have total and complete contempt for the Dawgs and Mark Richt now? Will it be this way forever? Come on man — you write for the biggest newspaper in the state. Act like a responsible sportswriter please and let them play the game. And remember, that's all it is — a game. The way you approach your profession reminds me of a used car salesman or a door to door insurance salesman. Now that I think about it. you would probably be good in both of those professions.

the only classless wonder worse than "Pack up in the middle of the night" Petrino is Brian Kelly at Notre Shame. Cincinnati kids played their hearts out for that man to go undefeated and he couldn't wait until after the Sugar Bowl before cashing in on the teams' success and haul backside to Freezehole Notre Shame. Reporters waiting outside the team's banquet door to ask the Cincinnati players how they felt who didn't ever know he was gone. Both Petrino and Kelly telling their players, "I'm with you til the end" shameful no character morons…just like Nick Saban shaking hands with the Miami Dolphin owner and having a plane waiting on him at the airport with the generator running. THEIR DAYS ARE COMING
September 29th, 2011
6:53 pm
Jeff, Love your predictions. What are the odds that the Braves will overtake the Phillies in 2011? You wrote a detailed column explaining why they had a shot, but you never said what the actual odds were.
September 29th, 2011
7:07 pm
It;s been a horrid week for the home teams, a trend that might in large part continue.
I'll take NC State plus the 10 (buy it up if you have to). Forget the teams involved; you can make a living going against the Top 25 on the road.
I lean towards Missy state and the TD—I don't know if there'll be enough points for UGA to cover the 7. Dawgs by a Blair Walsh FG.
Finally, I think the Falcons will salvage some civic pride.
September 29th, 2011

Matthew Stafford & UGA beat Florida 4 years ago.
In the first quarter, the entire team rushed to the end zone, jumping up and down celebrating wildly.
September 29th, 2011

Richt has beat Bama 3 times, lost once
September 29th, 2011

"Matthew Stafford & UGA beat Florida 4 years ago.

Yep. And it's been all downhill since that day. How's that working out for ya?

I've got the Dawgs in a close one.
Tech covers.

I want to exercise but I hate to work out.
If you've been struggling with trying to get more activity in your life, let me tell you a secret...walk. That's what we should be telling people.
In order to get almost all of the benefit in terms of lowering your risk of chronic disease, improving your mood, helping you control the weight,
all you need to do is escape the bottom 20 percent in terms of fitness level. And to do that all you need to do is walk 30 minutes on most, if not all days.
I'm one of the people who wrote the Centers for Disease Control guidelines for people who want to increase their physical activity.
Birds chirping
And we basically recommended that people try to accumulate 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most, if not all days. So the key words there are accumulate and moderate intensity.
You don't have to do it all at once. You can find three ten minute slots. Walk the dog in the morning. Take a little fitness walk at lunch. Walk with your spouse in the evening ten minutes.
That will do it. That will get you out of the bottom twenty percent. And the other thing is moderate intensity. It doesn't have to be intense.
I've often said to people, you should be able to do this level of activity and carry on a normal conversation.
You can't shout and you can't sing opera, but if you can carry on, if you're not able to carry on a normal conversation, you're exercising too hard.
All the work that we did in walking sounds very simple, but all of the work that we did in walking won me many years ago, from the nutrition columnists at USA Today,
the accolade of Father of the American walking movement. I'm very proud of that, but that was about twenty years ago.
So she called me about five years ago and said, I think now we should call you the grandfather of the American walking movement. So, I've gotten over that. But the bottom line here.
If you've been trying to get more physical activity into your life is, don't go anything any more complicated than walking. It's easy to do.
All you need is a good pair of walking shoes and an all weather suit so that you can, if you're in cold weather areas where you can, or get into a mall. A very simple kind of thing.
We make it too hard. Walking is what we should be encouraging everybody to do if you have been previously sedentary.
Count calories, track workouts, and maybe even drop a size or two.
Learn how to make tasty snacks that are healthy, too.

I struggled for weeks to make my blog iphone ready. Rewrote stylesheets, worried about @media statements, and on and on. Nothing worked effortlessly. I was so jealous of this blog, because Stephen the Devicer was obviously one of the elect, able to pay expensive web developers thousands to get one of the only blogs I've seen that just works.
Determined to extract the secret, I buckled down to pore over the source code. On the iphone page ... what's this? .../plugins/wptouch?? A quick search as to what wptouch might be . . . and five minutes later I have my own effortlessly working iphone adaptation of my blog!
Stephen, you and/or your web developer(s) are geniuses. That solution is light years ahead of anything else. I know. I've tried the others. Publicize it!

Reconcile or Run?
- Tuesday, May 17, 2011
In the case of Jim and May, Jim determined that the costs of taking May back were not as high as the costs of losing her. While some in his life ridiculed his decision, he had taken time to deliberate and consider many aspects of their relationship and the future they could have. Years later, he is happy with his decision and feels that the benefits indeed were much better than the emotional costs.
Don't forget to submit all situations to God. In the midst of so many swirling factors, the Lord can be a source of peace and clarity.
Set Rules
If one is to forgive and reconcile, there must be solid understandings of behavior that is acceptable and behavior that is not. There should be consequences tied to negative behaviors. For example, if a man reconciles with his alcoholic wife, they would do better to have a written agreement as to consequences that would come into being if she were to get drunk. When those type of contracts are made and agreed to, there must be NO mercy or grace offered. Make the consequences more intense with succeeding infractions, culminating with a final doomsday scenario. That means an end to the relationship. Struggling or straying spouses need to know they cannot continue bad behavior indefinitely.
Develop the Relationship
Forgiving and reconciling are not enough. Even boundaries are not enough. To keep the relationship from falling into old routines, there must be a plan to make it grow and develop into a better one than it was. There are many ways to do that, including many marriage books, courses, workshops, and the like. Being involved with a good marriage group can help.
(By the way, Jim and May kept the baby. He is about ten now. He and his siblings and parents are doing great.)
Joe Beam founded LovePath International, an organization that provides marriage help to hurting couples.
