Nevada State Senate elections, 2014
← 2012
The battle for the Nevada State Senate hangs on one seat. That seat could very well be in District 9, in a potentially close race between Becky Harris (R) and Justin Jones (D). Jones won it by only 301 votes in 2012 after Elizabeth Halseth (R) resigned halfway through her term.[1][2]
There are only 21 seats in the Senate, with the Democratic Party holding the slight majority.
While even a Republican win will leave the Democrats in control of the General Assembly, it would give the party veto power. Republicans are hoping Jones' vote in favor of requiring background checks for private gun sales will sway voters to pick Harris.[3]
Harris said she did not expect to receive national attention, and decided to run because people encouraged her to do so. She said:
|I had no idea when I got into this race that it would be the kind of race where national politicians are looking at what happens in the Nevada State Legislature.[4]
—Becky Harris, [1]
Another key race is the one for District 8, where incumbent Barbara Cegavske (R) is termed out and running for Nevada secretary of state. The district leans Democratic. Assemblywoman Marilyn Dondero Loop (D) is facing Patricia Farley (R) for the district.[5]
The Nevada State Senate is one of 20 state legislative chambers noted by Ballotpedia staff as being a battleground chamber. The Nevada Senate has a difference in partisan balance between Democrats and Republicans of one seat, which amounts to 9 percent of the seats up for election in 2014. Two major party candidates are running for seven, or about 64 percent, of the 11 seats up for election. In 2012, a total of five districts were competitive, with a margin of victory was 5 percent or less.
Elections for the office of Nevada State Senate will take place in 2014. A primary election took place June 10, 2014. The general election will be held on November 4, 2014. The signature-filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was March 14, 2014.
Incumbents retiring
One incumbent, Barbara Cegavske (R) in District 8, is not seeking re-election due to term limits.
Majority control

Heading into the November 4 election, the Democratic Party holds the majority in the Nevada State Senate:
|Nevada State Senate
|As of October 2014
|After the 2014 Election
|Democratic Party
|Republican Party
To be eligible to serve in the Nevada State Senate, a candidate must be:[6]
- A U.S. citizen at the time of filing
- 21 years old at the filing deadline time
- A one-year resident of Nevada preceding the election
- A resident for 30 days of the senate district from which elected at the filing deadline time
- A qualified election. A qualified voter is someone who is:
- * A U.S. citizen
- * A resident of Nevada for at least 6 months prior to the next election, and 30 days in the district or county
- * At least 18 years old by the next election
Candidates unopposed by a major party
In four (36.36%) of the 11 senate seats up for election, there is only one major party candidate running for election. Two Democrats and two Republicans are guaranteed election in November barring unforeseen circumstances.
Two major party candidates will face off in the general election in seven (63.63%) of the 11 districts up for election. One of those seats, District 9, held a competitive election in 2012 with a margin of victory ranging from zero to five percent. Incumbent Justin Jones (D) will face Becky Harris (R), the winner of a four-way primary. Jones won by a margin of victory of one point in 2012.
Primary challenges
Two incumbents faced primary competition on June 10. One incumbent is not seeking re-election in 2014 and another eight incumbents advanced past the primary without opposition. The state senators that faced primary competition included:
- District 16: Incumbent Ben Kieckhefer defeated Gary Schmidt in the Republican primary.
- District 20: Incumbent Michael Roberson defeated Republican primary challenger Carl Bunce.
A Ballotpedia analysis of partisan balance between 1992 and 2013 shows that Democrats held the Senate for the last six years while the Republicans were the majority for the first 16 years.
The Nevada State Senate has been identified by Louis Jacobson of Governing magazine as one of 17 chambers that is "vulnerable to a change in control in November." Jacobson rated the state senate contest in Nevada as a "tossup" as of late June. It is one of four state senates currently held by a Democratic Party majority that Jacobson rates as tossups; the others being Colorado, Iowa and New York.[7]
Races to Watch
The Senate districts being targeted by Democrats and Republicans are District 8, District 9 and District 20. If the GOP would happen to win all three, Republicans would regain control of the chamber, 11 seats to 10. Democrats would have to win just one seat to maintain the status quo, or 11-10 control of the Senate chamber.[5] The Republican Legislative Campaign Committee (RLCC) announced in July that it would be targeting both the Nevada Senate and Assembly. It put Nevada on its list of "Sweet 16 targets" to flip legislative control to Republican. The RLCC did not specify how much money would be spent in Nevada or elsewhere, but the amount is expected to be substantial.[8]
Democrats have the opportunity to win District 8, where incumbent Barbara Cegavske (R) is termed out and running for Nevada secretary of state. Running in the Democratic-leaning district is Assemblywoman Marilyn Dondero Loop (D). Dondero Loop has the support of her party, while the Senate Republican Caucus has endorsed candidate Patricia Farley (R) for the district. Farley and Dondero Loop both defeated primary challengers on June 10.[5]
Incumbent Justin Jones (D) of District 9 ran unopposed in the Democratic primary, but is expected to face tough competition in the general election from attorney Becky Harris (R). Jones won election in 2012 by only 301 votes. He is expected to be targeted by in-state and out-of-state Second Amendment groups, and could be in danger of losing his seat. In 2013, Jones angered many gun-rights conservatives during his first year in office, when he pushed for gun control legislation. The Senate Republican caucus endorsed Harris, who defeated Ron Quilang, Vick Gill and David Schoen in the June 10 Republican primary.[5][9]
Incumbent Michael Roberson (R) of District 20 will face Teresa Lowry (D) in the general election. Roberson is favored to win, but Republicans will need to retain District 20 and District 8 and gain the Democratic seat in District 9 to overtake the Senate.[8]

Today it's hard for me to imagine life before GLSEN. I never felt safe. I used to be sick with fear going to school every day. There was a group of students who used to follow me as I walked down the hallway shoving me into lockers. It seemed like every morning they got more and more aggressive. Even worse, during a football game, one threatened to kill me. Luckily, I found GLSEN. GLSEN helped me realize that no one has the right to bully and harass me. I'm a good person … an out and PROUD gay kid! GLSEN gives me hope! Thanks to GLSEN, I am learning to tell my story and become an advocate for change. But we can't change our schools without your support. Please help this amazing organization continue its vital work on behalf of LGBT and allied students.
I am just one of hundreds of thousands of LGBT students across the nation who are helped by GLSEN every day. Without GLSEN … and without you … I know I wouldn't be where I am today. By supporting GLSEN, you are investing in the future — in students who learn to survive, thrive and lead — students like me! Thank you. Jeremy Jeremy is a second-year GLSEN Media Ambassador and is in the 10th grade in Fargo, North Dakota.
With 2012 quickly coming to a close, many will look back over what has happened in these past twelve months and be thankful for what they have. At GLSEN, we are thankful for you. It has been a great year for GLSEN and the safe schools movement, full of benchmarks and achievements. To give you a sense of some of our successes this year, GLSEN has put together a short montage capturing many of our 2012 highlights. I hope you will take a minute to watch.
Everything we have achieved this past year has been possible because of you. And everything we hope to achieve going forward will be as well. On behalf of all of us at GLSEN, and the hundreds of thousands of LGBT and allied students we serve every day, thank you. P.S. For other great videos from this past year, visit the GLSEN YouTube channel.
Here at GLSEN, we're always looking for the next big way to get the word out about the amazing work we do. Our newest tool is called a Spark, and it looks like this:

Please share this cool new tool with your friends, and let's keeping working to make safe schools for ALL students in America.

Today is the International Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR), a day to reflect on the violence and loss caused by anti-transgender fear, discrimination and hatred. We remember those lost, and re-commit ourselves to building a better world. For me and my GLSEN colleagues, the commitment to the safety and well-being of transgender students is core to our purpose of building true cultures of respect in K-12 schools. Sadly, it is also one of the most urgent and challenging elements of our current work. GLSEN's report, Harsh Realities: The Experiences of Transgender Youth in Our Nation's Schools – the first national report on transgender student experiences – found that a shocking 53% of transgender students had been physically harassed and 26% had been physically assaulted at school in the past year because of their gender expression. For adult transgender people, the threat is even greater: 264 transgender people were murdered in hate crimes worldwide in the past year. The price of difference, of not conforming to gender norms, is far too high. Changing this dire reality means building respect for difference, and for transgender and gender nonconforming people specifically, from the ground up. Earlier this year, we published Ready, Set, Respect! GLSEN's Elementary School Toolkit to provide the tools for elementary educators to better understand how gender roles and expectations can contribute to a hostile school climate. Released in partnership with the National Association of Elementary School Principals and the National Association for the Education of Young Children, Ready, Set, Respect! provides K-5 teachers with developmentally appropriate, standards-aligned lesson plans on bias-based bullying, gender roles and the full measure of respect. Students are also leading the way on this critical issue. Today, GLSEN is partnering with Gay-Straight Alliances and student leaders across the country to enlist broader support for transgender students among their peers with a special pledge. It's a message for all of us: I pledge to support transgender and gender nonconforming youth by making a commitment to:
- Not use gender-biased language or transphobic slurs.
- Not assume anyone's gender identity and ask respectfully how a person identifies.
- Respect the diversity of all gender identities and expressions.
You may not currently be in school or work in a school, but these are certainly steps we can all take, and I encourage you to take the pledge here as well. Please check out our action page to find other ways to get involved and to learn about other GLSEN resources designed to create safer, more affirming schools for transgender youth, like our Model District Policy on Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Youth (pdf) created in partnership with the National Center for Transgender Equality. Schools must be safe spaces for EVERY child. Difference must be valued in our schools and in our society. And the scourge of violence perpetrated against transgender people of all ages must become a thing of the past. Thank you for committing to take a critical step forward on this day of remembrance, and for your continued support of our work.
For those invested in equality for LGBT people, last night's election had several primary story lines – races and issues that loomed large on Twitter and our personal networks but that were not always front and center in the mainstream coverage. We bit our nails and sought out the latest returns until the historic results became clear:
- Tammy Baldwin became the first out Senator ever;
- Marriage equality won popular votes in Maine and Maryland, and is currently leading in Washington state, the first time ever that same-sex couples won the right to marry at the polls;
- An effort to ban same-sex marriage in Minnesota was defeated at the polls;
- A pro-marriage equality Justice of the Iowa Courts was reelected despite being targeted by anti-LGBT forces;
- The nation reelected a President who endorsed marriage equality, LGBT students' rights, and LGBT-inclusive bullying-prevention legislation; repealed Don't Ask, Don't Tell and refused to defend the "Defense of Marriage Act"; led federal agencies that have sought to act in the interest of LGBT people, particularly youth; and appointed LGBT people, including GLSEN's founding Executive Director Kevin Jennings, to a remarkable number of positions in his administration.
These victories for equality – whatever one thinks of the results of the Presidential election – underscore changing attitudes toward LGBT issues in our society that are the result of decades of hard work to change laws, to reach hearts and minds, and to integrate the lives and needs of LGBT people into policy and practice in this country wherever possible. And all of that change was possible only because of coalition-building and years of effort to build strong partnerships for equality and justice across communities and lines of difference. If you've made it this far, I ask you to pause for a moment and reread that previous sentence. That idea can become a cliché, stripped of meaning from overuse. But this election and the internal debates now looming for the Republican Party underscore powerfully what those concepts – coalition-building and partnership – really mean. This was brought home for me powerfully this morning when I heard a conservative commentator respond to the suggestion that the Republican Party might need to rethink its approach to an increasingly diverse electorate in order to build a new majority. Current Republican strategy has its roots in the late 1960s, when a young Pat Buchanan suggested to Richard Nixon that the party could divide the country in half and win by retaining the "larger half." In other words, no need to broaden your base, just create a sharp, dividing line, and motivate those who agree with you by any means necessary. Asked if the party might need to do more to bring new communities into its base, the commentator replied: "Ideas trump all. When you broaden the base, you weaken the foundation. You begin to lose sight of what you stand for." His comment efficiently killed a discussion of alternative Republican approaches to advancing conservative ideas. In a way, he succinctly articulated the polar opposite of a coalition and partnership-based approach: a commitment to ideological purity over the kind of strategic clarity that powers great coalitions and effective partnerships. An approach that says "This is what you must each believe and act on" rather than "this is what we intend to accomplish together and let's agree on how we will work together to achieve that goal." For twenty years, GLSEN has stood firmly for a coalition and partnership based approach to the long, hard work of change. Sometimes we have sought power from others in alliance, sometimes we brought our own power to bear on a common goal. Always, we have tried to do the listening and thinking and negotiating required to bring people and organizations together on common ground for a common purpose. Our mission statement articulates GLSEN's commitment to valuing difference itself for the contribution it makes to a diverse and healthy society. Last night we saw the incredible power of difference assembled for a common purpose to drive victories for equality and justice. The power to bring us closer to the day when each member of every school community learns to respect and accept all people regardless of sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity. It is our youth who still struggle, in the hallways and classrooms where they spend their days, for the very basic tenet of equality – respect. That is why GLSEN has made passage of the Safe Schools Improvement Act and Student Non-Discrimination Act a priority. I am hopeful that the historic nature of yesterday's election will help bring passage of these important bills closer to reality, and help ensure safe environments for every student to thrive.
Though Hurricane Sandy hit GLSEN's national headquarters hard last week, we're happy to announce that all staff and chapter leaders are safe and sound. We're ready to get back to work making schools safer, though we aren't able to return to the New York City office just yet. It's not clear when the New York office will reopen, but our DC office is ready for business. That's good news, because GLSEN will be tackling several big issues in the next few weeks, including:
- Partnering with the DC and Baltimore public schools in support of the well-being and success of LGBT youth of color;
- Training members of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) on LGBT issues and gender nonconformity in grades K-5; and
- Furthering LGBT curricular inclusion with a presentation at the annual conference of the National Council for the Social Studies.
The response to the hurricane has been touching, and we are truly grateful for the overwhelming show of support. Not only from our friends at the Ad Council, who kindly offered us workspace in Manhattan, but also from countless friends of GLSEN reached out through email and social networking sites to express support. Here's a selection of your tweets wishing us well. Thanks again for your support; it truly makes our work possible.
Al Franken is a U.S. senator from Minnesota and a lead sponsor on the Student Nondiscrimination Act. Here's his Ally Week message:
I'm proud to celebrate Ally Week with GLSEN and Gay-Straight Alliances around the country—and I'm especially proud to be one of their allies. We will only succeed in stopping anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in our nation's schools by locking arms and standing united—young and old, gay and straight—against discrimination. If we do this, it will only be a matter of time before we pass the Student Non-Discrimination Act and the Safe Schools Improvement Act, two pieces of legislation which will go a long way in guaranteeing safe and effective schools for all students, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Today marks the last "official" day of GLSEN's Ally Week. While designated activities, assemblies and other programs are winding down, we know the need for individuals to stand up against bullying and bias never really ends. That's why GLSEN is hard at work year-round, fighting for the rights of LGBT students. We envision a future where all students can attend school in an affirming, safe, respectful environment free of bigotry, bullying and hatred. We cannot do it alone. We need your support.
Please make a special contribution to GLSEN today. Help us continue the fight to end LGBT bullying and bias!
I recently met a young student, Margaret, an out lesbian, who told me about how she once had to sit in class while her teacher asked every single student in the room if they thought she was going to hell because of her sexual orientation. Can you imagine how different she would have felt if an Ally spoke up on her behalf? Stories like Margaret's re-affirm the need for programs like Ally Week, ensuring that young LGBT students have strong, visible support. GLSEN is helping Margaret get that support, making sure she has an Ally, making sure she has hope.
Help bring hope to thousands of students like Margaret. Make a special contribution to GLSEN today!
Together we can create the future that our students deserve — together we can make a change!

I love schools. As a teacher, I imagine schools as centers of impassioned learning, maximized potential, and energetic engagement. However, I have spent most of my career working with students who struggle with learning. School often does not hold a lot of promise or hope for them. I have never been able to accept this. School is meant to be a place for all students—yet many continue to feel excluded. This is one of the many reasons why I became involved with GLSEN. During what is already a period of change and self-exploration, LGBT youth face an additional struggle. They are often faced with messages of judgment, intolerance, and rejection. Messages targeted directly at the identities that they themselves are trying to understand and embrace. Consider their experiences. One student watches as politicians, on local and national platforms, debate his basic human rights and dignities. The simple act of going to the restroom at school becomes a source of anxiety for another student. The student who hears his peers joke around by calling each other "queer" or "fag." Yet another who listens to the minister at their church tell the congregation that there is something fundamentally wrong with their identity. GLSEN sends a powerful counter message. GLSEN not only accepts these students, but also lets them know that they are amazing, unique, and brave. A little over a year ago, I become involved with our local chapter in Middle Tennessee. In this short period, I have attended national events, met safe schools activists from around the country, and worked with some of the most inspirational youth I have ever had the privilege of knowing. GLSEN provides a space for adults and youth to come together to learn, listen, share, and laugh. I attribute it to the GLSEN magic—a special blend of inspiration, affirmation, and passion. However, the strength of GLSEN depends on us. Many LGBT youth have stories of struggle, exclusion, fear, and insecurity. But with strong partners like GLSEN, these youth are changing their stories—to ones of empowerment and inclusion and love. But we can't do it alone. We need individuals, like you, to stand up in support of LGBT youth. Stand up in support of acceptance. Stand up in support of our schools. How can you do this?
Be an ally. It seems simple. It is. Identifying as an ally means that you believe all students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression, deserve to feel safe and supported. Identifying as an ally means that you will not use anti-LGBT language. Identifying as an ally means that you will support efforts to end anti-LGBT bias, bullying, and harassment in our schools. I AM AN ALLY. If you are questioning the power of these four simple words, consider the impact that messages of intolerance have on LGBT youth. Your words send a message. Your words tell the student whose parents reject him that there is a place for him in this world. Your words lend support to the student who feels that her very identity is a sin. Your words provide affirmation to the student who hears taunts and name-calling as he walks through the hallways at school. You may not know these students' names and you may never hear their stories, but your words can change their lives. Take the ally pledge today! And if you want to provide further support to our safe schools advocacy and student leadership programming, consider volunteering or donating to your local GLSEN Chapter. Be an ally to LGBT youth. They will be change.

"It is painful to think that in some areas of the world it is impossible to profess one's religion freely except at the risk of life and personal liberty. In other areas we see more subtle and sophisticated forms of prejudice and hostility towards believers and religious symbols. At present, Christians are the religious group which suffers most from persecution on account of its faith. Many Christians experience daily affronts and often live in fear because of their pursuit of truth, their faith in Jesus Christ and their heartfelt plea for respect for religious freedom. This situation is unacceptable, since it represents an insult to God and to human dignity; furthermore, it is a threat to security and peace, and an obstacle to the achievement of authentic and integral human development.
Religious freedom expresses what is unique about the human person, for it allows us to direct our personal and social life to God, in whose light the identity, meaning and purpose of the person are fully understood. To deny or arbitrarily restrict this freedom is to foster a reductive vision of the human person; to eclipse the public role of religion is to create a society which is unjust, inasmuch as it fails to take account of the true nature of the human person; it is to stifle the growth of the authentic and lasting peace of the whole human family.
For this reason, I implore all men and women of good will to renew their commitment to building a world where all are free to profess their religion or faith, and to express their love of God with all their heart, with all their soul and with all their mind (cf. Mt 22:37). This is the sentiment which inspires and directs this Message for the XLIV World Day of Peace, devoted to the theme: Religious Freedom, the Path to Peace."
– Pope Benedict, in Message for the World Day of Peace, Jan 1, 2011.

It really is quite simple. You do not usually have a 3 loss team ranked that high, and that is exactly what UGA is. They will lose at least 3 games. They possibly will start 0-2, although the Clemson game is very winnable. South Carolina and Florida will knock UGA out of the East, and at least one more loss comes from either Auburn, Tennessee or Missouri. Dog fans be happy to finish 9-3 and yet another trip to the Capital One or Outback or Gator Bowl.
Posted: 8:36 am Thursday, August 14th, 2014
Many outlets have UGA No. 12; this one won't
By Mark Bradley
Ranking college teams before the season starts is absurd and is only good for selling magazines.
Poll fail. No choice for Unranked.
I'm not crazy about Richt the coach, but this is a nice piece about Richt the person...
With all the deflections and injuries and a new qb, they have no reason to be ranked top 10
Clemson will win by 3
That time of year where the delusional say "this is going to be the year". The game passed Richt years ago. Then in a few weeks we will hear "if this guy hadn't got injured, if this hadn't happened, if the referees hadn't. ...." Love their optimism. Its just not reality.
I just really dont know if Richt can shake off being the Frank Beama of the SEC..... 9-3 is my prediction
Has any of you mutts ever consider if the AJC spins everything, how do you know when they are telling you the truth?
You had a talk with your editor , didn't you Brad? It had to do with changing your attitude didn't it?
So basically sports fans, the best AJC writer will be acting like a homer the rest of the year for Ga. The rest of Ga sports you will get his respected opinion. I know Brad, job security.
By the way Brad, you were right about the Braves before the first of the season.
Oh by the way, go ahead and start your predictions. You have a way of counting the wins and not the loses. Isn't that the way Ga does it? Ky doesn't do it.
15-0 baby!!!! UGA will win it all this year! All of you spineless haters will have to cry yourself to sleep and night....while us true dawg fans will be basking in all of our glory! Go dawgs!
The #1 team the year before is always ranked #1 to start the next season like it is the same team as the year before and they will have the same season again. They usually don't.
Ah, here we go again. The Koolaid is flowing.
FLASH! Markt Wrecked is still the head coach.
When was the last year that he exceeded expectations? When has he ever exceeded expectations except when he was first hired?
There is little knowledge gained by the second kick from a mule. When will you mutts understand?
UGA should really have the best team in the country every year. The state has the most talent, the institution is superior to Alabama, LSU, or South Carolina; and Athens is really just an hour away from the Georgia Dome and Hotlanta...
In spite of these advantages, Richt always just does the minimum needed to survive. he is really one of the worst head coaches in the NCAA. The fact that the university and fan base continue to tolerate him is a sad reflection on the Bulldog Nation. A Nation that bears no resemblence to the glory years of Erskine Russell, the Junkyard Dogs, and Herschell Walker.
So in less than a month, the annual process will begin. Remember last year? We lost to Clemson. Previous years saw losses to South Carolina ( actually a demolition), Boise State, Oklahoma State, and lowly Colorado. What a disgrace.
But Richt is still held in reverence.
The real losers out of this are the players and parents that go in the tank for Richt. They won't be playing for championships, but always will be talking about the "one that got away." The latest is the immaculate reception from Auburn. It was really just horrendous coaching from Richt (who hired Grantham anyway and let him run off the leash?).
So, in the vote, I know that at the end of the season, UGA will not be in the Top 25. Just like the year before when they were absolutely loaded with talent.
Why does UGA get so many preseason injuries every year under Richt? Duh.... What are the possibilities? Excessively rough practices? nope. How about condition of the field? nope. Well, could it possibly be strengh and conditioning and poor coaching? ABSOLUTELY.
Why are there so many Dawgs in court or in jail or on suspension the first two three or four games of the season? The other best SEC teams do not have this problem. Is it because of the overzealous Athens PD? nope. Could it be laissez faire is everywhere lack of discipline while Richt plays the Hollywood role? Yep...
So enjoy the academic theories today, boys. Drink that koolaid. Truth will be evident following Clemson and South Carolina. It will be a very long season indeed...
@HighTechJacket99 You Nerds act really excited about the upcoming season at Tech....
Trolling GA blogs....
It must really suck to be you...
@jackbmatt Always said, Great man, Good coach.
I honestly don't understand why Georgia should even be in the preseason top 15 this year. Last year, Clemson defeated Georgia. Their only two losses were to Florida State and South Carolina. They finished the season by defeating Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. Still, the Coaches Poll only saw fit to rank them number 15.
Why should UGA be ranked any higher than Clemson?
@longmemories Or Grantham
@longmemories Don't forget the turf!
@longmemories The referees didn't get the memo where you are supposed to kiss
Brothers backside.
@SinceVince Nah. Beamer actually got his team to a championship.
You will be wrong troll boy
@SinceVince I'm going with an 8-5 and unranked repeat
@SinceVince Coach Beamer has done a great job at VT. Looking back before he came they had struggled to say the least. Frank turned down the Bama job and he would have been a good fit at Bama.(Dennis Franchione took the gig).
@SinceVince Word, dawg.
I know they are because you are questioning if they are. Enough proof for me.
@WhiskeyBreath Mark and the others should be homers for UGA and GT. The media in Alabama is a homer for the cow college and has been for 40 years. The barn complex has to buy coverage and they have no problem is doing just that.
"The #1 team the year before is always ranked #1 to start the next season..."
No they aren't. Auburn won the NC in 2010 and were ranked #23 in the 2011 AP preseason poll.
@SnoopDawg I have to admit Brother looks real good adjusting his sunglasses , his entire
look 5 minutes before kick off. He is almost as good looking as he thinks he is.
I think it is fair to say the guy loves the camera.
@SnoopDawg and the beat goes on.
Must be nice to have the Greatest Christian as the head coach.
Don't believe it, just ask him.
@SnoopDawg My compliments to SnoopDawg for a very accurate assessment.
@SnoopDawg A very acurate assessment by SnoopDawg.
@SnoopDawg Long season for Trolls like you
I'm still trying to figure out exactly who Clemson and SC is going to use to beat us with. UGA's talent level is superior to both.
What a long and pointless post.
@Grant1296 @HighTechJacket99 Watch it sucka!
@PigIron because they are better than Clemson and they are playing them at home, Dawgs by 10.
@OH-IO Continuity is a good thing!
@GTBob @SinceVince Well, Bob is right again, i forgot Vick couldn't finish the drill.
Were you wrong on the Nile geography test question?
@KeepOnSmilingWetWillie @SinceVince CFB and CMR have both did fine jobs, i wonder do the Hokie fans expect a NC run every year?
@TrueDawg1986 @SnoopDawg I am not a troll!
I am head Ga basher. Give me the respect I have earned.
@TrueDawg1986 @SnoopDawg Hey 1986, i caught your attempt at trolling the Tech story about our transfer. Weak, but that isn't surprising.
@kerryb Let me help you small mind.
They are counting on Brother Richt to not have the team prepared.
Keep up the good work Kerryb
@kerryb I guess I do like Snoop.
He knows what he is talking about and you Ga fans are not as smart enough to figure it out , which I like.
Just keep thinking he doesn't know what he is talking about and I will be happy.
@SinceVince @OH-IO That's a good one.
I see you are back to being just another loser on the blogs!
@gtcaryd @KeepOnSmilingWetWillie @SinceVince I don't think that is the case but they expect near 10 wins over those 13 games. That is pretty dang good compared to what they had before Coach Beamer.
@WhiskeyBreath @OH-IO @Dawg350 He has probably passed out by now.
@WhiskeyBreath @TrueDawg1986 @SnoopDawg I think i hear Aretha, R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
@gtcaryd @TrueDawg1986 @SnoopDawg you're doing good work
Before he completed his geography test..........again?
@KeepOnSmilingWetWillie @gtcaryd @TrueDawg1986 @SnoopDawg God knows i try.
He thinks he is in Europe, but it is only him hearing Mexicans butchering Spanish at Walmart.
Beamer has actually coached in a "national championship game". They took a 1 point lead into the 4th quarter when the wheels fell off

Maisonette 9 is really cool, but to this day, i am pissed off/mind boggled as to why R* closed Bahama Mama's.
Posted 12 January 2014 - 08:48 PM
Bahama Mama's just looks so much nicer, shame they only used it for one mission.
And there is a West Bahama Mama's in GTA V, but that hasn't got a interior at all.
Posted 12 January 2014 - 10:36 PM
Bahamma Mamma's had the best atmosphere, music, and location.

Posted 21 January 2014 - 10:38 PM
It's weird, but I actually prefer Maisonette. I just like the atmosphere, and it just feels much more "homely". I pretty sure that it would be opposite if Luis spent all his time at BahaMama instead for M9.
Posted 25 January 2014 - 12:45 PM
Maisonette is far more classy with better music choice then BM
Posted 29 January 2014 - 12:03 PM
I'm surprised to why hasn't anyone made an open Bahama Mamas mod.
Posted 09 February 2014 - 01:14 AM
I would Bahama Mammas as it was bigger there would of been more possibilites with it.

Zambia: Ex-leader Banda's son arrested for 'defaming' President Sata By MICHAEL CHAWE | Thursday, July 25 2013 at 19:46
Zambian authorities have arrested former President Rupiah Banda's son, Andrew, for allegedly defaming the country's current leader, his lawyer said late Thursday.
Mr Milner Katolo said, Andrew, already facing a graft offence in court, has been detained by Police for allegedly defaming President Michael Sata.
Andrew was picked up on Thursday afternoon at the Lusaka Magistrates court by plain-clothed police officers, Mr Katolo told reporters.
He will be taken to Chipata, Eastern Province--about 600 kilometres east of the capital Lusaka--where he will be formally charged as he allegedly defamed the President from there.
It was not clear what he actually said or written about the incumbent.
Former President Banda and his sons Andrew are facing corruption cases in court.
Another of Mr Banda's son, Henry, has been on Zambia's Police wanted list for similar allegations.
Critics say the prosecution of the Bandas by President Sata's regime is a witch-hunt against the former first family which was in power between 2008 and 2011.
Other members of the former regime are also in court for various such offences.
He could face a minimum of two years in jail if convicted.

Battery life on Android has been a bit of a sore spot for many users, mostly because it's simply not good enough. Most devices can make it a day on moderate use, and a few can even do so comfortably, very few phones can hit two days without some time on the charger. The Android "L" release is making several improvements to power efficiency via Project Volta, but there are also ways to improve 3rd-party apps, and that's where the new Job Scheduler comes in.
If it's not already completely obvious, the L Developer Preview is shaping up to be an absolutely massive sea change for Android. While we've been treated to an entirely new design language called Material, a redesigned Recents screen, huge performance improvements, and over 5000 other new APIs and features for developers, it's easy to overlook plenty of exciting improvements that aren't quite as flashy. One such change was briefly mentioned by Dan Sandler during the "What's new in Android" session: Multi-Networking, the capability to maintain multiple network connections simultaneously.
Last year, at Google I/O 2013, some major new features and improvements were announced for Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) -the replacement for Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM). A couple of the new bits were even featured during the keynote, particularly notification syncing, which the audience loved. The one thing most people don't know is that most of the coolest things announced that year were marked as beta and locked behind an application process.
If we're being honest, it's hard to deny that one of Android's most obnoxious flaws comes in the category of audio performance. Playing some music is generally fine, but the issues start to become obvious after introducing very high quality audio or trying to achieve precise timing or real-time processing. With the L Developer Preview, it appears that Google is driving to improve upon these weaknesses and give audio performance the shot of adrenaline it needs.
Android Studio was first introduced to the world a little over a year ago at Google I/O 2013. At the time, it was coined a "Developer Preview" to indicate that it wasn't ready for major development projects, but people were welcome to experiment with it. In the following months, Android Studio has progressively improved, swatting many of the bugs and adding truly valuable features for developers and interface designers. After a long, and sometimes frustrating road, the upstart IDE is finally trading in its 'Developer Preview' moniker in favor of a shiny new 'Beta' tag.
The Android team has been hard at work replacing old code that hasn't scaled well with newer and more powerful hardware. We've long known that the camera API was destined to see a massive update, but we were missing details like a release date or exactly what was coming. Thanks to the L release, we can finally see what has been in the works for all these many months.
One of the most important aspects of the new Camera 2 API is a dramatic increase in performance over the previous interface.
Android 4.4 contained a number of interesting and very powerful features for developers, many of which went unused or misunderstood for quite a long time. Since it was introduced in KitKat, The Storage Access Framework (SAF) may be one of the best examples of an API that has been underutilized, despite offering a great method to provide cleaner and more informative interfaces. I even theorized that it may ultimately take the place of file system access.
An unexpected treat came zooming out of Google HQ today as Android 4.4.4 OTAs and factory images have started rolling out for Nexus devices. The updates have already been posted to AOSP and Al Sutton quickly followed up with a list of the changes. Since 4.4.3 is only 2 weeks old, and I/O is merely a week away, we had a feeling this was just a security update, and it looks like that's all it is.
It looks like Google is putting the last nail in Dalvik's coffin, and the new Android Runtime (ART) is about to take the throne. A pair of commits turned up last night in the master branch of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository that spell certain doom for the Android runtime we've known
and loved for all these years. The first of the two changes completely wipes the /libdvm (Dalvik Virtual Machine) folder from AOSP, and the second takes care of changing all of the relevant configuration files and startup scripts to call on the ART runtime.
Jeff Bezos took to the stage earlier today to announce Amazon's first entrant into the highly competitive smartphone industry, the Fire Phone. Not only was the presentation loaded with some of the shiny new features of the handset and Fire OS, all meant for the press to disseminate to potential buyers, but there were also a few unusually blunt efforts to attract developers. In the midst of demonstrating Firefly and Dynamic Perspective, portions of the presentation were focused on explaining that developers would be able to extend these platform features in their own apps.

Steve Neumann
Dec. 11, 2013
WASHINGTON - Two Georgetown University men's soccer players have received invitations to the 2014 adidas Major League Soccer Player Combine the league announced on Wednesday. Seniors Steve Neumann (New Hope, Pa./Council Rock North) and Joey Dillon (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester Adams) were among 50 college seniors to be invited to the event. Georgetown was one of just 10 schools to have multiple players invited.
Neumann, a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist and First Team All-Region honoree, was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year after an outstanding senior campaign. He scored a league-leading seven goals in nine games and had 18 points for the top-seeded Hoyas. Overall, he finished with 10 goals and six assists for 26 points, also first in the conference. Neumann was the 2013 BIG EAST Preseason Offensive Player of the Year ending the regular season where he began. He was also named First Team All-BIG EAST.
It was the co-captain's fourth-consecutive All-BIG EAST honor and third-consecutive nod to the first team, he was the lone unanimous selection. The Offensive Player of the Year award was Neumann's first and the third in program history following Ricky Schramm in 2004 and Eric Kvello in 1997.
The forward earned one BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week honor and two nods to the honor roll as well as weekly honors from CollegeSoccerNews.com and TopDrawerSoccer.com.
Midfielder Dillon helped lead the Hoyas to a share of the BIG EAST regular-season crown and the No. 1 seed earning his BIG EAST Co-Midfielder of the Year honors along with a spot on the All-BIG EAST First Team. A two-way standout, he helped the Blue & Gray lead the conference in goals with 22 and rank first in fewest goals allowed with four. It was Dillon's first-career BIG EAST honor and first nod to an all-conference squad. He was also a co-captain along with Neumann and classmate Keon Parsa (West Hills, Calif./El Camino Real).
Last year, the Hoyas had three players invited to the combine and all three were selected in the MLS SuperDraft. Ian Christianson, Tommy Muller and Jimmy Nealis all received the invite. It was the most in program history and the first under Head Coach Brian Wiese. A fourth, Andy Riemer, was picked up in the MLS Supplemental Draft.
Prior to last year, Georgetown has only had one other player in program history invited to the combine. Dan Gargan participated following the 2004 collegiate season.
The 2014 adidas MLS Player Combine will be held at Central Broward Regional Park in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., prior to the SuperDraft. The invited players will be divided into four separate teams that are led by prominent collegiate coaches and select youth coaches. Matches will be played as doubleheaders on January 10-14. Each match is closely monitored by technical staff from all 19 MLS clubs.
For the 10th consecutive year, the MLS SuperDraft will be held in conjunction with the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Convention, and take place on Thursday, January 16, at the Philadelphia Convention Center, in Philadelphia, Pa.
The 2014 MLS SuperDraft will include four rounds and 76 overall selections. The first nine selections are currently held by clubs that did not qualify for the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs, in reverse order of regular season finish. The remaining 10 positions currently belong to clubs that were eliminated from the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs in order of elimination.

May swag curtains are saggy.
I used decorator fabric & lining. The lining appears to have a little stretch to it. I used a walking foot to sew them with. The lining appears to be pulling the fabric up and puckering the bottom where it is seamed together.
Obviously the swag portion in on a bias.
Is there anything that can be done?
Oct 11, 2013, 03.08 PMby Deanna31
Not much. You can either: replace the lining with a longer piece, or free the lining and let both be separate, or add another piece to the lining, or shorten the outer piece to fit.
Good luck

Bias cuts of fabric stretch. That is how woven fabrics can be made to seem to have some flexibility-placing pieces on the bias. Learned that information during a lingerie talk on how to use woven fabrics. Did your swag curtain sections have to be cut on the straight grain? If so, you now know the cause of sagging.

Dozens of Florida community health centers serving the poor and
uninsured -- including 10 in Miami-Dade and Broward counties -- are eligible for
a share of $8 million in federal funds to help uninsured individuals obtain
health coverage when new marketplaces established under the Affordable Care Act
open Oct. 1, U.S. Health and Human Services officials announced Thursday.
Given the complexity of healthcare reform, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said, those who are unfamiliar with the healthcare market will need personal help navigating the huge changes coming next year.
"This won't be easy,'' Sebelius said. "Many of the Americans we're trying to reach have spent their whole lives locked out or priced out of the healthcare market.''
In Florida, 48 health centers are eligible for $8 million to help educate consumers about health insurance, the new marketplace, qualified plans, Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program. The centers also will help new consumers determine their eligibility, compare coverage options and obtain insurance.
Nationwide, about $150 million in federal funds has been set aside under the Affordable Care Act for health centers for hiring, training, conducting community outreach and education.
Federal officials are drawing on a national network of community health centers serving an estimated 21 million people a year to help educate individuals and enroll them in a health insurance program, Sebelius said.
"Health centers are especially well-equipped to help promote enrollment in neighborhoods that stand to benefit the most from the new marketplaces,'' she said.
The funds announced Thursday are only the latest piece of a broader effort by federal officials to help build enrollment, and to help consumers understand the new exchanges.
For instance, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will spend about $54 million for a "Navigator" program to train people who will help consumers understand the complicated world of exchanges, in which virtually everyone will be able to buy insurance at group rates, regardless of age or preexisting conditions.
This summer, Obama administration officials will travel the country to talk about enrollment, Sebelius said in a conference call with media Thursday. Federal officials have not yet announced dates or named the administration officials who will lead the campaign.
An estimated 1,200 health centers nationwide are eligible to apply for the funds announced Thursday, said Mary Wakefield, administrator for the Health Resources and Services Administration, which will review all applications. Among the criteria for awarding funds, she said, will be each applicant's most recent reporting of uninsured populations that they serve.
Those centers that receive funds will be required to submit quarterly reports documenting how many people they have helped to enroll, Wakefield said. All of the eligible health centers will receive a minimum of $50,000 plus a one-time expense stipend of $5,000.
Health centers have been helping the poor and uninsured enroll in Medicaid and obtain other coverage for years. But the new funds will nearly double the number of outreach workers at the centers from 4,000 to about 8,000, Wakefield said.
"We've had outreach workers that have been helping individuals enroll for insurance for decades,'' she said. "It's a function they carry out already, and that we've historically helped to support.''

Commissioners to consider $6.6 million LGC financing application
At their most recent meeting, Rowan County commissioners voted to pull the plug on submitting a loan application to the Local Government Commission to pay down the debt incurred from the purchase of West End Plaza.
Commissioners now plan to discuss Monday sending the agency a new loan application that not only includes the $3.9 million for reimbursement and renovations at the mall, but about another $2.7 million for four other projects as well.
The total cost of the proposed loan application sits at $6.65 million and will be financed over a decade.
According to a memo Rowan County Manager Gary Page sent to commissioners, the estimated tax increase necessary to retire the debt payment is three quarters of a cent.
Included in the financing application are funds for a chiller plant at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, an office building and ten T-hangars at Rowan County Airport as well as improvements to the county animal shelter.
While $1.9 million will be directed to pay for HVAC improvements at the college, the construction costs of the new airport office building and ten T-hangars is $650,000.
The cost of renovating the animal shelter is $150,000.
Craig Pierce, the boards vice-chair, said the original LGC application was pulled in order to be more efficient and save money.
I didnt want to send that application through and then turn around and then have to send another. It costs about $100,000 to send an application, Pierce said. There were some other things we wanted to get done.
College officials sent commissioners a request for funding indicating the heating and air system needed to be replaced, Pierce said.
The college solicited two quotes, Pierce said, and commissioners ultimately went with the lesser-priced equipment.
The unit will be able to pay for itself over the next 15 years due to its energy efficiency, Pierce said.
It was a no-brainer, Pierce said. Why would you wait until the equipment goes down? You cant have 2,000 students in a building when its 100 degrees or 10 degrees outside. This was a way for us to be proactive and take care of an issue before it became a crisis.
Addressing the needs at the animal shelter and moving the facility toward being a no-kill shelter also is a concern, Pierce said.
Pierce said the plans are to take a mobile classroom from the school system and set it up as a surgical facility where a veterinarian can spay and neuter animals.
The T-hangars, Pierce said, are geared toward providing more space at the airport and will pay for themselves in two years with the revenues and leases.
There are 17 people on the waiting list for a hangar at the airport. We dont want an airport that has no space, Pierce said.
There is a $100,000 cost associated with renovating space at West End Plaza for housing the new veteran services office, and there is a $400,000 cost connected with upfitting space at the mall to bring in the elections office.
With the VSO, there is absolutely no room or privacy at all. Upfitting that area is a must. It is not a question of whether we can get by without it, Pierce said. We wanted a three-quarters of a cent sales tax. Its time the county stepped up and took care of these things.
If the county was going to fix its problems, Pierce said, everything that had to be done needed to be put on one application.
All we are doing is what everybody else does. If you buy something, you have to make a payment on it. Its been done a hundred times and its never been an issue until now, Pierce said.
Pierce said the past couple of commissions did not do what they were supposed to do in terms of taking care of the countys needs.
I know there was a recession, but you dont close down the county when there is a recession, Pierce said. If that means you need to have a tax increase, then you have a tax increase.
With commissioners approval, Page said the county then will initiate the 90-day loan process with the LGC.
The three-quarters of a cent tax increase will generate between $700,000 and $800,000 a year, Page said.
On Monday, if commissioners approve it, the board is going to look at (Rowan County Finance Director) Leslie (Heidrick) and direct her to get the process started again, Page said.
