Genre: Historical Romance
1774 Williamsburg is rife with feelings of independence. Christian Barclay is a rebel, while his bitter enemy (and the man he believes is his father), Ian Scott, is a true Tory. Liana Scott is furious with Christian when he informs her that her father is his father as well.
Christian learns that while Ian was married to his mother Melissa Barclay, his biological father is a Seneca Indian. After discovering the truth, Ian abandoned Melissa. Liana is now forbidden to associate with the Barclays.
Christian begins printing pamphlets urging rebellion. His cartoons and clever words inflame the Tories and help the cause of liberty.
One night, Christian is wounded and climbs into Liana's bedroom. She not only cares for his wounds but the two become lovers. When her father discovers their tryst, he disowns Liana, leaving her at the Barclay's door. Christian comforts her with love and tenderness and they marry.
The seeds of liberty are being sown while Ian sets a trap for the Barclays. Ian is thrown off track, for when the colonists go into the wilderness to fight renegade, more pamphlets appear. Now, no one knows who is printing them.
As the indian war progresses and Christian becomes involved in more causes (even saving Ian's life), he and Liana fight. But their arguments lead to greater understanding, and eventually they learn to share their fears, give and take, love, laugh and begin a new life.
Ms. Conn has crafted a wonderful love story whose characters cry out to readers. One can only hope she will give the many memorable secondary characters their own stories. Christian and Liana's tale is filled with every nuance of growing love and trust; the importance of family is written against the turbulent backdrop of colonial America.

How To Choose The Best Collagen Products
The demand for anti-aging and anti-wrinkle products has been growing at a quick pace, and along with the growth in demand, the number of products has increased.
Researchers found that collagen is the main component in the appearance of wrinkles, and as a result a variety of collagen injections, creams, and drinks have become available.
So before we look at the best collagen products, let's take a look at what collagen is.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that is found in skin tissue, bone tissue, and in tendons. The collagen protein is the main component in maintaining the elasticity and strength of skin.
However, in the aging process the collagen protein tends to diminish and allows for the appearance of wrinkles and sagging.
Collagen Therapy
Certainly no one really enjoys the effects of aging on the skin and many people take it upon themselves to combat the effects of aging.
There are three popular types of products on the market today, and they are:
- Injections
- Creams
- Collagen Promotion
Collagen Injections
Collagen injections have garnered the most attention because celebrities have made headlines by receiving them to resist signs of aging. Unfortunately for most people, regular collagen injections are simply not cost-effective at US$300-$400 a treatment.
However, the effect is immediate, but the process is painful and comes with the side effect of swelling for a short time following the injections.
Additionally, the effects are only localized and temporary, so continued injections are necessary to maintain a youthful appearance.
Collagen Creams
Creams are the most common method of collagen treatment for the average person. They are commonly used as an alternative to the injection method of boosting collagen in the skin.
Most creams aim to transfer collagen from the cream to the body directly through the skin. Creams can have varying effects, but are much more affordable and certainly less painful than using the injection method.
The best benefit of creams are that they are easy to apply, especially for those that are mostly concerned with the facial wrinkles and sagging that comes with age.
Collagen Promotion
The best collagen products for combating the effects of aging is the use of creams, drinks, or tablets that not only directly transfer collagen to the body, but also promote the body's own production of collagen.
Collagen promotion products can be used in conjunction with products that directly apply the collagen to the body, but also provides the body with what it needs to boost the production of collagen.
By boosting collagen production, the whole body benefits and not only the face or areas where a cream is applied or an injection is administered.
How To Get The Best Collagen Products
Fortunately, the best collagen products are immediately available by ordering via the internet. Health sites like this provide an excellent selection along with informed product descriptions to help you make the choice that is best for you.
Additionally, internet shopping is especially beneficial for the self-conscious because only you will know that you are concerned about the appearance of aging.

Can you imagine David Cameron enjoying a round of golf on Remembrance Sunday? It would be inconceivable for the British Prime Minister to do so, and not just because of the usually dire weather at that time of the year. Above all, it would be viewed as an act of extremely bad taste on a day when the nation remembers and mourns her war dead. I can't imagine the PM even considering it, and I'm sure his advisers would be horrified at the idea. And if the prime minister ever did play golf on such a sacrosanct day he would be given a massive drubbing by the British press, and it would never be repeated.Telegraph.

Will Work For Chocolate
Pssst….hey you…yeah YOU! I got some scoop for ya today. Normally you know I just give unconditionally around here.
Well, it's a new day people.
Before I spill today's post, you gotta make me a deal. I'll lay it on ya, and in return you promise to include ME in the order you will undoubtedly place immediately following the reading of this blog.
Deal? DEAL!
I have stumbled upon what may be the most genius concept in the world. A German chocolatier called Chocrí opened less than 2 years ago and launched it's AMAZING website in January of this year. What sets Chocri apart from, well, everyone, is that YOU design the kind of chocolate you want, selecting from 3 different chocolate bases (milk, white or dark) and up to five of over 100 mix-ins. That's over 100 billion possible combinations of chocolatey goodness.
HELLO??! So fun.
The website lets you peruse the ingredients based on category:
FRUIT ~ from cranberries, raisins and dates to banana chips, figs and goji berries
SPICES ~ interesting selections range from the benign (cinnamon, sea salt, bourbon vanilla) to the surprising (chives, jalepeño, rosemary)
NUTS ~ all the expected varieties (peanuts, almonds, macadamias) plus oddities like cashews with cheese-curry coating and spicy volcano nuts
CONFECTIONS ~ mini cookies, caramel drops, toffee and PopRocks, to name just a few
DECOR ~marzipan creations, real gold flakes, sprinkles and even a written message!
GRAINS ~cereals, candied dried flowers, bacon, pretzels and more
Feeling overwhelmed by the possibilities? Take a deep breath and let Chocrí help you by checking out the Creations page and order from 24 tried-and-true combinations. You can see what other people have recently ordered and the most popular creations for further inspiration. (click to enlarge)
Now, I know what you're thinking…GERMANY? The shipping must be ridiculous, right? Think again, my chocolate loving friends. Flat fee of $6 to fly that yummy goodness over the Atlantic to your doorstep.
And just in case you need one more reason to love Chocrí, they donate a portion of every sale to DIV Kinder, an organization that supports children at the Ivory Coast, an area that is directly impacted by the cacao industry. They even give you an opportunity to add a personal donation to every order. To date Chocrí has donated $42,562.66 to DIV Kinder.
Not only is this just a perfectly perfect idea for Mother's Day, but you can also buy discounted in bulk, which makes this an awesome idea for weddings and parties!
OK, so now go have fun creating deliciousness on the Chocrí website and don't forget our deal.
I don't care for nuts in my chocolate.
I'm just sayin'.

I gave my newest friend a name.
You remember Arnold don't you? He was that weather-forecasting, lunchbox-toting Wonder Pig from that intellectually-stimulating 60's classic, Green Acres.
But let's just say my Arnold was not nearly as lovable as Fred and Doris Ziffel's, ahem, son. While that Arnold once predicted a snowstorm during warm weather, my Arnold was more into chills after high temperature.
Yep, my Arnold wasn't an American Yorkshire, but of the H1N1 variety.
The following people were indicted Dec. 8 by the Anderson County Grand Jury, according to court documents.
Wade Engle, 44, of Blackey, was indicted on four charges: receiving stolen property (less than $10,000); use/possession of drug paraphernalia; operating on a suspended/revoked/canceled/denied operator's license; and illegal possession of a legend drug.
Nathan Green, 28, of 1820 Harrodsburg Road, was indicted on two charges: tampering with physical evidence; and possession of marijuana.
Judge Donna Dutton heard the following cases during Anderson District Court proceedings Sept. 28.
Michael Cooper, hearing, attempted intimidating a participant in a legal process -- to serve 11 months (credit time served), fines and costs converted to eight days (concurrent).
Michael A. Cooper, hearing, alcohol intoxication in a public place -- to serve 11 months (credit time served, concurrent) , fines and costs converted to eight days (concurrent).
Four teams showed up Saturday morning at Anderson County High School to wrestle the MatCats, and four teams went home that afternoon licking their wounds.
The MatCats racked up 36 pins on route to knocking off Montgomery County (62-18), Woodford County (64-6), Boyle County's A (69-6) and B (53-30) teams and Bourbon County (46-33).
Shea Sparrow (125 pounds) and Blake Curtsinger (130) were dominant, each scoring five pins in five matches on the day.
T.W. Stockton (135) also notched five wins, including four pins, and Zach Perry won five matches on two pins.
It really would be possible to have a better game than Jacob Russell did Friday night at Mercer County. But you won't see it very often.
Russell was uncommonly incredible, scoring 27 points, pulling down 20 rebounds and dishing out 10 assists to lead Anderson County to a 70-59 win over the Titans. It was undoubtedly one of the most dominating individual performances at Anderson basketball history.
Most Anderson County fans find it strange that I list Shelby County as one of my favorite places to go on the road.
Some think it is because my wife, while not a Shelby County native, almost considers herself from Shelbyville and her uncle, Sam Chandler, was the principal at Shelby County High School for years. Plus, Stephanie teaches at Clear Creek Elementary School and, as many of our readers know, we have lived in Shelbyville since we married over three years ago.
Occasionally, I write a serious column about things I learn or about how important learning is in general. This is not one of those columns. I learned a few fun things this weekend, so I'll share those.
Thing #1
I love my mother, but she is almost impossible to tolerate when watching a University of Kentucky basketball game.
She is a UK fan, as in she wants the team to win and win by about 60 if at all possible.

Boys' freshman basketball
December just whizzes by, doesn't it?
In a hurry is the state of being everyone is in right now. When we do stop for a breather, we realize all the things we need to do and get cranking all over again.
On the bright side, this warp speed means spring will get here before we know it. In the meantime, I'm getting my gardening fix by watching my carrots grow. I have an indoor window box and I planted seeds awhile back. Looks like I'll be harvesting fresh carrots for Christmas.
Anderson County just keeps proving how great it is.
So far this year we've had so many things to be happy about, including sports victories, shooting a film and we're among the toughest on drunk driving in the state.
Although some of us can't drive, we still ride in cars.
With Christmas a few weeks away there will be lots of traveling to various places. We all know the roads aren't always the safest places, but knowing Anderson County law enforcement is very watchful of the roads makes you feel safer.

Healthy students are better learners
We have a strong and well-deserved reputation for high academic achievement in our schools. Our students are among the best in the state of California and even nationally.
It seems self-evident that healthy, well-rested students will be better learners. They will be more alert, more open to new experiences, and more engaged with their teachers and fellow students. But like many districts similar to ours, we struggle with forces that pull our students in other directions. Building into our schools a conscious focus on student health -- social, emotional, and physical -- can make a real difference for our kids.
Reducing unnecessary stress for our students. Palo Alto parents, teachers, and health workers -- both in our schools and in the community -- have long noticed that our kids experience stress that can interfere with their learning, and their overall health.
What does this stress look like? Concretely, it means homework that stretches late into the night for many of our students -- despite scientific evidence showing that too much homework is self-defeating for learning. It means students and parents spending large amounts of time and money on tutors in order to enhance college applications. It means kids without enough time to be kids, at increasingly younger ages, as the pressure pushes down into middle and even elementary school. It can look like an excessive focus on grades and competition over grades, rather than on the joy of learning. It can even result in cheating and plagiarism as students react to the pressure to produce, as Stanford Education School senior lecturer Denise Clark Pope showed in her study "Doing School." As Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg has noted, many teens are even suffering from physical maladies such as headaches, stomach aches, and fatigue as a result of excessive stress.
As I've talked with students at many of our schools, I hear them say that they feel that no matter how hard they work or how much time they put in, it's not enough. A student graduation speaker at Gunn a few years made headlines by openly acknowledging this struggle. When my daughter was a student at Gunn, I remember many nights when she was up after we'd gone to bed, doing homework -- and her friends were the same. Our kids and our parents are missing the down time, play time and family time that is part of childhood and adolescence. The costs are clear: the 2011 Developmental Assets survey found that 47% of Palo Alto teens are "vulnerable or at risk."
Some people say that this is the cost of high academic achievement. But research reveals that is a false choice: social and emotional well-being and academic achievement go hand in hand. Healthy, well-rested, well-adjusted kids learn better and achieve more than kids who are stressed and sleep-deprived. Just think about your own life -- do you do your best work when you are happy, relaxed, and stimulated, or when you are juggling too many tasks in too little time? Many studies have found a connection between sleep deficits and reduce academic performance. (For more about the academic research on academic stress, see this annotated bibliography).
What can we do to support student health and learning? I have advocated strongly that PAUSD should make reducing unnecessary academic stress a top priority. As a direct result of that work, the district adopted this as a focused goal for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years. One part of that work was a district committee aimed at setting guidelines for the purpose and volume of homework. I served on that committee, which included parents, teachers, and administrators from schools across the district. We reached unanimous consensus on time guidelines for homework, for the first time in Palo Alto school history. The next step is to put in place metrics to gauge the amount of time our students are spending on homework, and professional development to help teachers plan homework that is an effective and efficient use of student time.
We already have a blueprint for what to work on next to reduce unnecessary academic stress. Section P-8 of the Project Safety Net Plan, called "Supportive School Environments," lays out a set of topics to combat the "stress and distress" affecting our teens in particular. These include "finals prior to winter break [done with the recent calendar change, which I supported], revised test and project calendars, revised homework policies addressing purpose and volume [partially done], academic integrity concerns, tutorials and advisories, and social and emotional skill development." Setting priorities among these topics should be guided by data gathered from our students by the Development Assets and California Healthy Kids surveys.
Many of these changes are challenging, because they require altering current practices, rather than adding on new programs. In fact, Project Safety Net points out that "all elements of the educational system, including core principles, curriculum, policies, training, strategic plans, hiring and other practices" need to be addressed to create a supportive school environment. The homework committee is a great model for how to address this challenge: bring the community together, base discussion on the latest research and on data about what's happening in our schools, and work out solutions that everyone can agree with.
This focus on improving the social and emotional health of all of our students is an essential addition to our strong success in identifying and supporting students who are suffering from depression and other mental health issues. Efforts through organizations such as Adolescent Counseling Services and the HEARD Alliance have yielded more adults who can recognize students who are at risk and intervene effectively. We should continue this important work by revitalizing partnerships such as the SHARE (Student Health Awareness Resources and Education) Committee and PADACC (Palo Alto Drug and Alcohol Community Collaborative).
Healthy bodies and healthy minds. A simple but powerful step that we can take to support the health of our students is to improve our school lunch program. Many school districts around California and the nation are recognizing that children are better learners when they are nourished with healthy, well-prepared food (for example, Berkeley, San Diego, Clovis, and Oakland all have initiatives to bring local food into their schools). The benefits are manifold, and extend well beyond better nutrition. Lunch can become an integral part of a curriculum that also includes school gardens to teach children healthy eating habits, environmental awareness, and the cultural significance of food. Serving children food that tastes good and nourishes their bodies and minds is also a powerful way of expressing our caring for them.
I invite you to work with me and other members of the school and larger community on these important issues. I ask for your vote in November.

The Department of Africana Studies is the intellectual center for faculty and students interested in the artistic, historical, literary, and theoretical expressions of the various peoples and cultures of Africa and the African Diaspora. Located in the historic Churchill House, the Department is dedicated to the critical exploration and development of new knowledges about the cultures, histories, social formations and artisitc expressions of Africa and various locations that comprise the African Diaspora.
In order to develop requisite competency, Africana Studies concentrators must complete eight (8) semester-long courses offered by or cross-listed with the Department. Concentrators may also petition the Department to accept other appropriate courses.
Of these courses, the following two Africana Studies courses are required:
The Department strongly encourages foreign study in Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America, during the student's junior year. While the department actively supports programs in South Africa, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Brazil, and the English-Speaking Caribbean, concentrators must complete at least six (6) courses in residence at Brown.
The Department also encourages the acquisition of language competencies, in addition to English, which are spoken in Africa and the disapora. Since no continental African language is currently offered at Brown, concentrators who study abroad and acquire certified competency in any African language are welcome to petition the department for competency credit.
Africana Studies' concentrators with outstanding records may be admitted to the department's
Honors Program. Prior to the end of the concentrator's junior year and while working in consultation with a faculty advisor, the
student must prepare a work plan. This plan, not to exceed three (3) typewritten pages, must be approved and signed by the faculty
advisor who is to direct the Honor's thesis. At the onset of the senior year, the Honor's candidate is expected to have become
familiar with the secondary works in the field. Secondary readings should be extensive and be incorporated into the work plan. The Honor's
candidate is also expected to complete a research paper of distinguished quality while enrolled in a 1000-level seminar.
Participation in the Africana Studies senior-level capstone seminar AFRI 1360 is required.
For students completing graduation requirements by the end of Semester I (Fall), projects must be submitted by December 1st. For students completing graduation requirements by Semester II (Spring), the project should be submitted by April 20th. By the end of the fourth (4th) week of the concentrator's seventh (7th) semester, a written proposal approved by the advisor and a secondary reader must be submitted to the concentration advisor. A progress report, prepared and signed by the student and countersigned by the faculty advisor must be presented to the concentration advisor.

Miley Cyrus in a yet another revealing outfit! Miley had on a sexy black bodysuit performed a duet with Spanish pop star David Bisbal at the Rock in Rio festival in Madrid, Spain on Sunday. Now we're just going to have to get used to Miley's rather suggestive routines.
more Miley in a revealing outfit after the jump…
Miley has been under close scrutiny since the start of her European trip: Raunchy in Portugal, London, Paris, Kiss a girl on stage… Get over it people, this is the new Miley, she's growing up fast and forget about her as Hannah Montana. Perhaps we won't take as much notice of it if Miley weren't underage?
Cyrus took to her online blog over the weekend to defend her suggestive routines, insisting she did "nothing wrong" because she does not actually lock lips with her female dancer during her performances.
Miley wrote, "I promise you I did not kiss her… the truth is I did nothing wrong. I got up there and did my job which is to perform to the best of my ability… Get over it! Nothing happened."
Sexiness sells and we know a lot of female artists are fairly raunchy during their performances, Rihanna for one. Then again Rihanna is 22 and Miley is 17.
Do you think it would be better if she just waits until she's at least 18 to wear all these revealing outfits?

Well, Mr Bladine, may I so boldly suggest, that if cops didn't arrest innocent people, and D.A's only charged the guilty with crimes, then there would be no need for trials .
A guy just got released the other day after spending 42 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. It's been proven time and time again that even the innocent will plead guilty to crimes they did not commit out of fearing the mountains of charges that can be heaped upon them by those with only one thing in mind, and that is self-served interest, not justice served..

Akrit Jaswal has been a surgeon since he was 7
Akrit Jaswal has been a surgeon since he was 7.
Akrit is now 17 years old, and is currently working on his master's degree. That means, he's not a real doctor. However, he has been performing surgery in India since he was 7 years old, when he operated on a burn victim's hands. Akrit says that he hopes some day to come up with a cure for cancer. He is considered a genius, having learned to talk at 10 months old, to read at 2 years old, and to read English (Shakespeare!) at 5 years old. He also entered college at the tender young age of 12!
You may know Akrit from his appearance on Oprah.

BALTIMORE- A former vice president of Hebron Savings Bank in Wicomico County has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for embezzlement and ordered to pay $456,665 in restitution, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.
According to her plea agreement, 56-year-old Wanda Henderson of Westover, used her position at the bank, including her role as executive assistant to president, to manipulate bank records and receive fraudulent loans over a period from 2005 until April 2011. Over that period of time, Henderson had secured 20 fraudulent loans for herself and family members worth more than $682,000, with more than $456,000 of that amount going into default, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Henderson created fraudulent loan applications, then got them approved by forging the signatures of the president and other bank officials. She also forged the initials of other employees so the money could be transferred into checking accounts owned by her and a family member, according to prosecutors.
Henderson concealed the thefts from bank officials by changing bank records and taking out new loans to repay older loans when they came due, which allowed her to continue the scheme until April 2011, prosecutors said.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Buzz Peterson has confirmed that UNCW will visit Chapel Hill to face the Tar Heels during the 2013-14 season.
An official date of the game has not been set.
The programs have met only twice, the Tar Heels taking both. The latest coming in Chapel Hill in the 2004-05 season. The teams also met in Myrtle Beach in the 2003-04 season.
The game will be a homecoming of sorts for UNCW head coach Buzz Peterson who played his college ball at North Carolina where he was a member of the 1982 National Championship team.

7 Stocks Leaping on Unusual Volume
Lockheed Martin (LMT)
This is a global security company is engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, operation and sustainment of advanced technology systems and products. This stock is trading up 1% at $93.14 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 3.07 million
Average Volume: 1.63 millionVolume % Change: 90% From a technical perspective, LMT is bouncing modestly higher here right off its 50-day moving average of $91.26 with above-average volume. This move is quickly pushing LMT within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once LMT manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $93.67 to $94.10 and then once it clears $94.74 and its 52-week high of $95.92 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in LMT as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $91.26, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 1.63 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then LMT will set up to enter new 52-week high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $100 to $105 in the near future.

Matt Towery, the CEO of InsiderAdvantage, runs the only political polling operation based in Georgia.
The outfit's last poll, on Feb. 11, showed state Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine leading the GOP race for governor with 25 percent of the vote. Towery has partnered with WSB-TV, and is occasionally quoted by this newspaper.
But for several days this month, Towery also became a fixer knee-deep in the race for governor.
"Boy, can I be stupid," is the headline over his first-person mea culpa, published this morning on his web site.
In addition to his polling duties, Towery, is affiliated with the well-connected law firm of McKenna, Long & Aldridge. Several days after that last poll, Towery the lawyer began working for Clark Fain, the former chief executive of Southeastern U.S. Insurance, a workers comp provider under criminal investigation by Oxendine's office.
Towery went to Oxendine's office to plead Fain's case. During that conversation, Towery said it became clear that Oxendine had become "obsessed" with comments made by U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland.
Westmoreland for a time sat on an advisory committee for SEUS. In December, Oxendine called the congressman to say that his name had surfaced in what was then a civil probe. Oxendine portrayed the call as a courtesy.
Westmoreland, who supports Nathan Deal in the GOP race for governor, on Feb. 1 told an AJC reporter that the call had the feel of a shakedown – an effort to force the congressman to take a lower profile in the governor's race.
In an effort to make peace between Oxendine and Westmoreland, Towery placed a call from Oxendine's office to the Coweta County congressman.
"I called Lynn on my own cell phone, not asking him to retract what he had said about John; only to ask him to quit talking about it for a while," Towery wrote.
He added this: "It was not unethical or illegal but in retrospect looked wrong."
Westmoreland's office confirmed that Towery and the congressman had spoken, and that SEUS was one of the topics.
Towery writes that he spent the weekend getting in touch with candidates for governor, to explain the situation. Towery does not mention the name of his client in his statement, which can be read below in its entirety:
Contrary to the blogs, I did, indeed, nearly meet my maker about a month ago when my vertigo hit and my face crashed on the tarmac in Grand Cayman.
Weeks later, I was asked to represent a client – not against John Oxendine but with his office. Guess what, folks. I get paid good money from my law firm to deal with legal issues. I'm a lawyer! And since I was the senior member of the insurance committee for many years, I sort of know the laws.
But I made a mistake. John Oxendine is running for governor. I am the pollster for InsiderAdvantage and WSB TV. Seemingly I could have compromised myself even as I did understand it. So the record will reflect John and I got nothing accomplished.
During the meeting, I made it clear that discussions would have no impact on my polling or analysis of the race for governor. To be fair to John, he immediately agreed and never tried to use the race as a wedge.
But he was obsessed with Congressman Lynn Westmoreland's comments. Lynn and I have known each other since we were five years old. I called Lynn on my own cell phone, not asking him to retract what he had said about John; only to ask him to quit talking about it for a while.
It was not unethical or illegal but in retrospect looked wrong.
On Saturday, I recused myself from the case. John accepted this to his credit and said thanks. I also called every candidate for governor I could reach. Karen Handel was a peach; she understood and forgave. Same for Roy Barnes. Same for everyone reached.
Our company is based on being nonpartisan. Do you think Saxby loved it when we had a runoff? We do our job.
I have every right as a lawyer who wrote most of the modern insurance code to represent a client. But I handled it like a guy with a concussion. Trust me, others in our firm will now handle this matter and I won't bill a dime of this.

When is Ox going to learn. He continues to cross over the line of what is appropriate. Ox – just step down.
February 22nd, 2010

I am so disappointed in Matt.
I have always thought that, although he is a former republican legislator, he offered a pretty fair and balanced analysis of the political landscape and also thought his polling operation was legit.
Matt is too smart for this mess he created to be a simple blunder on his part.
I think it would be in his best interest (both his business interest and his interest as a nonpartisan reporter), if he is truly interested in offering a fair analysis of the republican gubernatorial primary, to recuse himself from any invovlement in poling or analysis relating to the republican gubernatorial primary.

Commercial Polling By InsiderAdvantage: Paid Public Relations with an image of unbiased integrity, paid for by a candidate, wrapped up as official statistics, then sold to the media, broadcast as news and "fact" to the masses = illegal, influence pedaling.

The Ox has got to go.
If he gets the nomination, King Roy will be the next Governor.

Yep, everybody in GA politics knows Towery's operation has a record of sometimes selling their "polling" and "analysis" to the highest bidder. And the "story" that went up on Towery's site about how every major political figure in GA was supposedly serving as bedside nurse after Towery's concussion was the wierdest thing I've seen in GA politics in a long, long time (and that's saying something after the Richardson mess). A little birdey tells me that Pettys didn't actually write that story, and that the quotes in the story were fabricated. Let's see if a little investigative journalism could bring out the truth on that…
February 22nd, 2010
8:54 am
Is it reasonable to assume the candidates were polite when Towery called with his mea culpa because they continued to want to curry favor with Towery's polling firm?
February 22nd, 2010
8:58 am
Towery is just trying to save his polling firm. Personally, I believe he's to entrenched with the Insiders to be objective in his polling.
February 22nd, 2010

Another controversy linked to Oxendine. How many can there be?
February 22nd, 2010
9:20 am
Those who are writing this junk are being unfair. We have NEVER sold a poll and, for the record, have gotten every race in Georgia right. I did this to be open and honest. How about thew many pollsters who do take money from candidates? Are you tough on the. Our team of Dick Pettys, Tom Baxter, Gary Reese and others will continue to cover this race and I will poll it. I wrote my story at Jim's suggestion. I am glad I did. Matt
February 22nd, 2010
9:24 am
Oxendine is a sleaze. Is he also a lawyer?
February 22nd, 2010
9:32 am
Mark Taylor is right to call for "a little" (or a lot) of investigative journalism in this matter. You might come up with a few more quirks and assorted oddities that are surely some juicy, not illegal, gossip; but no one will find ANY evidence of Towery's company selling polls outright. Borrow a Handel line and… bring it on. As it simply has never been done. Hell, set Jim Walls on the matter. He'll come up empty too.
February 22nd, 2010
9:40 am
Way to come clean, Matt. I believe it was an error in judgement, but good on you for trying to fix it.
Unfortunately, as the ethicist Michael Josephson observes, "We judge ourselves by our best intentions, our most noble acts and our most virtuous habits. We are judged by our last worst act."
There's hope, though. I heard someone say once that "in the Bible, it says 'it came to pass' … it didn't come to stay!"
February 22nd, 2010

"Towery the lawyer "
Nuff said.
Georgians will NEVER be served,

tinhat said it well. it really was a major lapse in judgement and one of his friends/colleagues should have pointed that out if they had the chance.
February 22nd, 2010
10:03 am
Almost unbelievable. Oxendine is a magnet for unethical behavior. PEOPLE – put the pieces together. These guys are CROOKS.
February 22nd, 2010
10:14 am
Towery made an error in judgment, realized it, fixed it and admitted it. Time to move on. We shouldn't expect perfection from people in public life, just an awareness that perception can become reality and a willingess to admit their mistakes. I got no problem with Towery. Someone in his position is going to be connected, and as long as he is open and honest about it, we should give him the benefit of the doubt.
February 22nd, 2010
10:17 am
Surely the republicans can find someone more ethical……
February 22nd, 2010
10:44 am
Towery seems to be the only one who realizes a mistake was made and comes clean. Ox takes the Bill Clinton approach – deny, deny, deny, even when faced with insurmountable evidence against you. You may not like or agree with Towery but his move is something far different from others in the field.
February 22nd, 2010
10:57 am
Maybe while he's doing his mea culpea, he could admit he didn't live in his district when he was elected to the State House in 1992.

Take it easy on the lawyers, man. Sam Nunn is a member of the Georgia Bar and he has served us pretty well.
February 22nd, 2010

Matt Towery has been a stand up guy, and deserves the benefit of the doubt on this one. Smearing him just to get at Oxendine is wrong. Grow up, y'all.
February 22nd, 2010
11:37 am
Matt Towery is and always has been as fake as his pancake-madeup faux-tanned face. And always will be.
February 22nd, 2010
11:41 am
I'm not a big fan of Towery, but he did the right thing here. Good for him.
February 22nd, 2010
12:22 pm
I am a psychic. I will predict that later this week an article will be written in this paper in relating a controversy directly or indirectly linked to Oxendine.
I know, crazy prediction.
This guy can't go two days without this stuff.
The ajc has blank news stories that say "Jon Oxendine _____(Insert Controversy here)"

Ironic that the same day this item appears on this AJC blog, there's a story in another section of this paper that says that Barnes is invincible in the Democratic primary based on polling – which are polls largely done by Matt Towery. Towery is an active lobbyist in a lobbying firm that is openly supporting Barnes. Just recusing himself from representing SEUS on this stuff doesn't solve his problem. You can't be an "independent" pollster and pundit while working as a lobbyist at a lobbying firm that lobbies (or will lobby) the people you are polling and commenting on.
Shame on the AJC for not just ignoring this guy and his "polls" completely.

Towery has no credibility and is just the mouthpiece for the power elite. The AJC is right there too. Kasim Reed was the latest move by the power elite. Half have been to jail and shamed, but they just keep taking. The people are wising up.

The problem isn't Matt Towery. Oxendine has a long track record of putting all different typss of people in difficult situations. As his record unfolds, it would make Bill Clinton appear honest and impeccable.
As far as Karen Handel,her brief 12 years in Georgia has proven that she can't HANDEL repsonsibilities she has been entrusted by the voters. She has never been able to serve a full, four year term in her entire career.

He calls his gig insider advantage. He talks to Ox personally about one investigation and calls up his buddy Westmoreland on his cell regarding getting him to shut up about Ox leaning on him. And he's a pollster. What did Ox offer his client to get him to make that phone call to Westmoreland? Whatever.
Georgia voters were wrong in 2002 and compounded that mistake by being wrong again in 2006. But I can't really blame the voters when it's the candidates who were wrong then and are wrong now. We probably need some agency head like Baker or Handel, not some politician who has been tied to getting/giving favors to his/her contributors. But both of them probably suck as well. Georgia — where elections inevitably devolve into choices between the lesser of two evils.

Polls. When I got my liberal arts undergraduate degree (at UGA) we read a book called Inventing Reality that described how the media creates a horse race in politics and uses polls to chart it. AJC is just selling entertainment and writing the script at the same time. Then we get vapid leaders who only know how to threaten and cajole their enemies and opponents into submission. The professional staffs then have to suck up to the latest imbecile put in charge of their agency, some imbecile who likely has some farm to hunt on, or some mansion where they can have parties where they trade road and supply contracts to their insider buddies.
They manage to hide their malfeasance regarding those budgetary items (prisons, roads, medicaid, etc) by yelling Gay Marriage!, Sex Offender!, Two Strikes! whenever someone gets too close to uncovering their insider deals. The media plays along with the coverup unless the event is so salacious or prurient that it sells papers and advertising. The TV show called our lives. We are living in a reality show.

Stop The Standardized Testing Mania!
By John R. Alston Trotter, EdD, JD
[This is an article which I wrote earlier today before visiting this blog. Heck, let me jump into the fray! For the record, I don't have a dog in this gubernatorial race, but I do tend to be leary of ole Roy since he already stuck it to the teachers once. I know Lynn Westmoreland. He is my Congressman, and I have known him since his 1986 run for State House. He ran next in 1988 and won a seat in the State Senate -- or was this vice versa? I met Matt on a few occasions -- first when he ran for Lite Gov. Both seem to me to be honorable. I have never met Oxendine or Deal, but I am sure the same holds true for them. I think, as my article points out, that this will be a race between Ox and Handel on the GOP side, with the Ox winning, despite the protestations of many bloggers. I have never met either Oxendine or Handel or have even talked to either of them. So, no "filthy lucre" bias here. I also think that ole Roy will face Thurbert in a runoff, and Roy will take him in the lighter turnout in the runoff. It will boil down to Cobb versus Gwinnett. In the GOP Primary, will Handel or Oxendine win the Cobb GOP vote? The Cobb Republican voters may well determine who Roy faces in the General. There won't be many Democratic "crossover" voters trying to determine Roy's opponent because Baker will be scaring the crap out of Roy. African Americans make up 50% of the Democratic Primary. If Handel beats Oxendine, she will not be a pushover. She just might end up being Georgia's first female governor.]
All of this test mania in Georgia (and nationwide) should cease, and we should go back to the days when teachers developed their own plans (written or unwritten) to match the creative ways that they would employ to reach the hard-to-reach students. These standardized tests have indeed become the false gods of public education (as we have pointed out many times on http://www.theteachersadvocate.com). The standardization of testing and the shameless teaching of the tests are, as Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element, has stated, not unlike gorging young kids with fast food. Our students are indeed malnourished. I have been calling for a cessation of this standardized testing for years. It is a dumbing down of the educational process. Students are not allowed to tap into their "element," as Sir Ken Robinson rightly points out. Students become very bored with this very narrow and very boring and very homogenized and very shallow form of indoctrination which we have the nerve to call "education." It is at best nothing but regurgitation. A good step in the right direction would be to STOP THE STANDARDIZED TESTING. Then, systems like Atlanta, DeKalb, Houston, L. A., et al., will not be so tempted to take the path of easiest resistance by cultivating a culture of fear which then enables the nazi-administrators to create the culture of cheating. It would be nice to see Governor Sonny Perdue and the Georgia Board of Education simply say: "Enough is enough. We are going to free up our teachers to teach. After all, they are professionals. We are going to cease all of the educational snoopervision. A loose net will catch anyone not acting professionally. A tight net only suffocates the whole educational establishment." Wow, it would be nice if they actually said this. There would be celebration in the schools all over the State!
Which of the politicians and/or policy-makers have the nerve to state the obvious? Who will acknowledge that an 800 pound polka-dotted gorilla is sitting in the educational parlor? Who will stand up and say, "The Educational Emperor is naked!"? Will DuBose Porter step forward or will he continue to think that he can beat Roy Barnes and Thurbert Baker by coming up with stupid gimmicks like running his wife for Light Gov? Will David Poythress continue to rely on his "General" status to catapult him to the top in the Democratic Primary? No, these poor political souls will take the traditional route to ignominious and easily forgotten defeats. None, I fear, will have the chutzpah to come out of the pack like Joe Frank Harris did in 1982 with his "No Tax Increase" promise. Zell Miller, in 1990, took the Lottery & Hope tack and rode it to victory! Who among the gubernatorial hopefuls will tap into the inordinate frustration in Georgia's educational family? Educators First, Bureaucrats Last! Slogans like this tap into the ethos of educators who have demonstrated that, en masse, they can swing statewide races, especially with the numerous family members and friends whom they can sway. I have been paid handsome sums to come up with memorable logos and slogans (like the slogan above) for politicians through the years. This slogan just popped into my head as I was typing this. Who likes bureaucrats? No one. Bureaucrats are despised by people in society, but especially by educators. Yes, the word "bureaucrats" serves as a "straw man" but a "straw man" which symbolizes what is wrong with government…faceless bureaucrats who have little sympathy for the painful needs which beset the voters.
On the GOP side, there is little doubt that John Oxendine will walk away with the primary nod. He will probably score in the forties, if not barely over the 50% magical mark. If he slips below that mark, he will face Karen Handel in the Republican Runoff. The way the scene looks now, I predict (and I could be wrong, but I don't miss this often! LOL!) a Roy-Ox match-up in November, with Gwinnett pitting its political prowess against the "Marauding Mob of Mableton and Marietta" (as I have often described the good-ole-boy "mafia" of Cobb). The Gwinnettians have not quite demonstrated to me that they have the political moxie to flex their muscles state-wide, but the race will be one of the closest November races that we have had in years. Oxendine would serve himself wisely if he aligned himself with frustrated educators in Georgia and "allowed" ole Roy to suffer as the "author" of many of the problems in education today in Georgia, especially the testing mania and the "blame the teachers first" culture. Roy knows that this is his weakness, and he is doing all that he can now to try to get sympathetic teachers to put their fingers in his Educational Dikes. The Ox should constantly remind educators that Roy is the King of their Educational Problems and Angst.
I don't know if any of these already-declared candidates really gets it. I offer this "free advice," hoping that at least one will realize that Georgia's Educational Community is about to explode and that putting political Band-aids on massive and festering sores will only exhibit the folly of their understanding of what is going on. Zell Miller understood the power of the Educator Vote. After his shocking election, Sonny Perdue began to appreciate it. But, he is no longer running, and he has now proposed an imbecilic "All Star Teachers" program which will only continue to cultivate and facilitate the culture of cheating in our schools. Who among the candidates now is willing to tap into this acute frustration? The first to do so in a full-frontal assault will win this vote. Those who tip toe to it will be resented by educators as Johnny-Come-Latelies. (c) MACE, February 22, 2010.

Towery is self-serving as always. He writes "I have every right as a lawyer who wrote most of the modern insurance code to represent a client." C'mon, he was a junior gop legislator that was dominated by demos. The only way be could get things done is stick his head where the sun don't shine (and he did and they used him). It's always all about Matty and wanting bad to be a playa.

Nah, I think that I'll screw up the Governor's race too. LOL! You keep up your anonymous and brave blogging. Your fingers must be raw with all the blogging that you do under hundreds of different personalitities. Does the AJC pay you?
February 23rd, 2010

This is written from memory. If I misstate any of the facts I am sorry but they can easily be verified or discredited by reviewing the recent articles. The assumptions are solely mine and are based on my recollection of the stories I've read over the past few months in the AJC. Please keep my identity completely confidential.
Every day I read a new article that raises concern about John Oxendine's shady deals, yet no one has tried to connect the dots. Let me take a shot at it. (Pun Intended). A few weeks ago, we read that the CEO of an insurance company had set up questionable political action groups to help fund Oxendine's run for Governor. Since it is not legal for those companies who are subject to his political authority to contribute, the funds were gifted as though they came from individuals. Oxendine denied any knowledge of that. We later learned that the person implicated in that ethics investigation had been appointed by Commissioner Oxendine to oversee the assets of insurance companies that were insolvent. Oxendine denies any connection between the fund rising and the appointment. Later we learn that Oxendine and his sons were hunting at an exclusive hunting reserve owned by who else but that same insurance company executive. Now Mr. Oxendine has forced another insurance company into bankruptcy, with the principle of that company screaming that he is solvent that he has paid all of their claims and that Oxendine was doing this for political reasons. What possible political reasons you ask? Let's connect the dots. Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine claims to have determined the company was insolvent after having someone review his claims to see if the reserves were adequate to cover potential losses. What a particular insurance claim is worth is subjective at best. That audit, as I read found six cases where the auditor disagreed with the reserves, so Ox forces him to shut down. One of Oxendine's complaints was that the insolvent company had been wineing and dinning people at their, you guessed it hunting reserve, and could not afford to do that, unlike John's hunting and fund raising buddy who apparently can afford it. I can't help but wonder if some of the people who benefited from those hunting trips provided by SEUS were not political enemies of good old Ox. Wait, didn't I read that one of the prominent republicans in the state, supported Deal for Governor, was also on the defunct company's advisory board? And he accused Mr. Oxendine of trying to shake him down for political favor back in December. So now Mr. Fain who apparently supports someone else for governor is forced to turn over his company's assets including the hunting reserve to John Oxendine. I wonder who will get control of all of those assets including the hunting reserve. Wouldn't that be old Ox's hunting buddy, and fund raiser himself? Coincidence?? You decide. But, this needs to be investigated. If the dots line up anything like it appears to me the casual news paper reader, he shouldn't be Governor, or Insurance Commissioner. He shouldn't even be allowed to practice law in GA

Obviously devoid of integrity, if Matt Towery were any good, why would G-d have cursed him so?

We understand Kenyon's decision to leave the chamber to move closer to his family. It's just unfortunate that means the chamber board is, once again, searching for a new leader.
The Powell Valley Chamber of Commerce plays an important role in this community. It serves as the voice of small businesses. It distributes information about the Powell Valley to people and organizations outside the community, promoting local businesses and helping those who may relocate here. Overall, the chamber helps businesses connect with one another and the customers they serve.
Unlike many rural areas, Powell's downtown is vibrant, with few empty storefronts on Bent Street. A thriving chamber of commerce is crucial to continue cultivating a robust downtown.
Powell businesses and community members depend on a strong, stable chamber of commerce, but years of turnover threaten to tarnish that image. Consistency in leadership is key to its future success.
We want to see the chamber continue to succeed and feel confident that its board of directors can find the right person for the job. Kenyon helped boost membership numbers and improve the chamber's image in the community, and his successor must maintain that momentum while also providing stability for the years ahead.
In the upcoming interview process, it's important to find a leader who is dedicated to strengthening the business community and who is committed to promoting Powell.
Especially during times of economic uncertainty, the chamber needs a leader who is invested in Powell — and its future.

Marketable value
Date: May 21, 2009

When the Publix store at Ringling Boulevard and Lime Avenue closes its doors next year, it will also be closing the door on a large part of the supermarket company's history.
Publix store No. 0029 in the Ringling Shopping Center is the oldest operating store in the entire chain. But, the 31,490-square-foot store will be replaced by a new 54,000-square-foot Publix in the former Sarasota Herald-Tribune building at U.S. 41 and Wood Street.
The Ringling Publix opened to much fanfare March 29, 1955. Full-page newspaper stories heralded the store's arrival. It was the first Publix in Sarasota.
At the time, company earnings were $49 million. It operated 28 stores and employed 1,500 people. Today,
Publix Super Markets Inc. has annual sales of $24 billion from 1,005 stores, and it now employs 140,000 people.
Shirley Morey remembers those good old days. The 88-year-old has been shopping at the Ringling store since the day it opened.
"I know everybody there," Morey says. "It's like walking into your own house."
Morey lives on Gulfstream Avenue, and although the Publix store that opened two years ago at U.S. 41 and 10th Street is closer, Morey continues to go to the Ringling location nearly every day.
"They all holler, 'Hey, Shirley,' when they see me," she says.
Morey remembers one employee in particular — Melany Summerall, who has been working at the Ringling Publix for 34 years.
"I knew her as a young girl," Morey said.
Summerall was 23 years old when she began work as a part-time cashier in 1975. She became full-time three years later and has also worked in the office and as a stock clerk.
"I love it," Summerall says. "I love the (customers). I've grown up with them."
Store Manager John Kendall says some of his regular customers were upset when they heard the store will be closing for good, but he believes most of them will go to the new location, because most of the employees will be moving there.
"It'll be sad," Summerall said, "But it'll be nice to have a new start. We'll have our same customers."
As for Morey, she knows exactly what she'll do when her supermarket of the last 54 years turns out its lights for the last time.
"I'll just go to the new one," she says with a laugh.

Palliative care is an approach that aims to help a patient diagnosed with a terminal illness. This help comes in the form of pain relief, holistic measures, care and attention to a patient's symptoms and more. The overall goal is to improve quality of life. The goal of palliative care is not to cure, treat or otherwise delay the disease.
The palliative care definition comes from the root of the word, which means "cloak" in Latin. Palliative care attempts to cloak the disease from a patient in easier surroundings and relieve suffering. This approach may be performed at the same time as more specific illness treatment, palliative care is not dependent on a prognosis.
The difference between hospice and palliative care is that a hospice is focused specifically on terminally ill patients, including those with terminal cancer. A hospice will provide palliative care, but not generally treatment for a disease that has been pronounced terminal. Palliative care, on the other hand, can be given anywhere at any time, even from initial diagnosis, and may work at the same time as curative treatment.
Palliative care nursing provides a range of services. The nurses, doctors and care workers will try to provide ongoing information about the disease and the measures they are and will take to make life easier. At the same time they will advise and talk through possible alternative treatment options, and provide a helping hand through the healthcare system. Support for the patient and family is key, and the nursing staff will strive to provide the support required.
One of the main aspects of palliative care is that the staff will be experts at treating symptoms common to terminally ill patients. They will provide excellent pain relief. The nursing staff will be able to provide food and surroundings prepared to make life easier. This will include easing breathing and relaxing a patient. Palliative care works in the presence and with the help of loved ones, and the staff will be pleased to support family and friends in looking after the patient, and preparing all close to the patient for what comes next.
For terminal cancer patients, palliative care will be a hugely important aspect of life. Cancer, in its many forms, is virulent and sometimes painful. Palliative care workers will know how to manage this, as well as helping the patient and loved ones through all of the symptoms and any suffering these may cause.
Palliative care may be performed anywhere. A patient with terminal cancer may wish to spend time at home, and a care specialist can be there at all times to help, assist and relieve symptoms. Caring for a terminally ill loved one is extremely tiring and emotionally exhausting. Palliative care with the support of trained professionals, often in close contact with a patient's doctor and hospice, will make life easier at this troubling time.
Your doctor, hospital or hospice will have more terminal cancer palliative care information as you desire, I hope this guide has been useful.

This sweet and juicy fruit is a great staple to mix with other purees when you start expanding baby's menu.
Yield: 1 1/2 cups or 6 (1/4-cup) servings (serving size: 1/4 cup)
More From Oxmoor House
- 6 plums, peeled, halved, and pitted
- 1. Place plums in a vegetable steamer. Steam, covered, 7 minutes or until very tender.
- 2. Place plums in a food processor; process until smooth.
- Kitchen Tip The riper the fruit, the less steaming time it takes to soften the flesh, so use the lower end of the cook time range.
- Easy Freezing This recipe is based on 1/4-cup serving sizes. If you freeze batches in ice-cube trays, one cube usually holds 2 tablespoons. We recommend defrosting just one cube when baby is new to solid food. Later on when baby has started eating more, defrost two to four cubes (2 to 4 ounces or 1/4 to 1/2 cup).
Freezes well
