BATON ROUGE — The tide has fallen for the last time for oyster magnate and seafood expert Mike Voisin, who died Saturday morning after fighting for slightly more than a week to recover from a massive heart condition.
BATON ROUGE — The tide has fallen for the last time for oyster magnate and seafood expert Mike Voisin, who died Saturday morning after fighting for slightly more than a week to recover from a massive heart condition.
Voisin, 59, a Houma resident and owner of Motivatit Seafoods, died at 10:38 a.m. at Terrebonne General Medical Center.
The news spread rapidly Saturday morning, from Baton Rouge, where Voisin was a perennial authority during legislative sessions, to Capitol Hill, where he was supposed to be this week to host an event to promote Louisiana oysters during Washington's Mardi Gras festivities.
"Mike was a dear friend who will be sorely missed, and his passing leaves a void in our hospitality industry," said U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Metairie.
Voisin helped found the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board and has served as chairman of a large number of organizations ranging from the National Fisheries Institute and the Gulf and South Atlantic Fisheries Foundation to the Louisiana Seafood Processors Council and Louisiana Oyster Task Force.
He was also a member of Terrebonne General Medical Center's board of commissioners.
Despite the far-reaching legacy Voisin left behind, it was clear that his time influencing policy and the seafood industry was far from over.
Over the past two months, Voisin was elected as vice chairman of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission and awarded an honorary doctor of commerce degree from Nicholls State University.
State Rep. Gordon Dove, R-Houma, said he will always remember Voisin's soft-spoken way and how he constantly managed to influence more than a decade's worth of seafood laws in Louisiana.
Dove, the dean of the Terrebonne-Lafourche delegation and chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, said he could not remember a year in recent memory when Voisin had not been involved with writing actual laws during a legislative session.
"He was always eloquent. He knew how to confer with legislators, and he was always on an even keel," Dove said. "Mike was a problem-solver."
Born in Los Angeles, Calif., Voisin spent his formative years in south Louisiana and in 1971 opened Motivatit Seafoods, today one of the state's largest oyster outfits.
He managed the business with his family and was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Ewell Smith, executive director of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, said family and faith helped form Voisin's politics above all else.
"Mike led. That is what he did better than anyone. He led with compassion, passion, sincerity and, most of all, love," Smith said. "We've lost a very, very dear friend."
State Rep. Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville, said Voisin was always looking for new and innovative ways to promote Louisiana seafood, which led to the creation of the Gulf Oyster Industry Council's "Walk the Hill" more that 15-years ago.
"Mike was an icon of the industry and brought us into a new age," Harrison said. "He left nothing half done. During 'Walk the Hill,' I watched him make presentations to 18 representatives and senators. He was tireless. The man was just a born leader, and he has left a large void in the industry."

It was time for the 1:15 p.m. Wednesday juvenile docket and nervous energy crackled in Boulder County Judge Ingrid Bakke's courtroom.
Six juvenile defendants — two girls, four boys — were ushered into the room by armed and uniformed Boulder County deputies, and they were seated in the jury box to await their cases to be called. One girl looked to be on the verge of tears, and a deputy seated next to her whispered to her. Another girl looked as though she cried before the hearing. Three boys were stoic, but one baby-faced defendant with a mop of shaggy black hair plopped into his chair and grinned.
He looked younger than the others.

Those in custody who wore juvenile center-labeled scrubs weren't the only kids in court for the day. Those with ongoing cases sat with parents or guardians, who could face sanctions up to arrest for failing to appear with their children.
In the moments before court, public defender Alec Egizi made his rounds to the various suspects and whispered to them about what they could expect of the hearing, while prosecutor Jenny McClintock prepared her cases and tried to determine who, indeed, appeared in court that day. Along with lawyers, the courtroom was populated with those assigned to help the young offenders, such as court-appointed guardians, counselors and probation officers.
At 1:30 p.m., a clerk called out the instruction "All rise," and Bakke entered in her black robe, quickly settled, and launched into a minutes-long reading of rights. She told the parents to listen carefully because they were their rights, too.
Then the court got down to business.
A 16-year-old Longmont boy's case was called. He was among those who sat stoically during the wait. He faced at least 17 counts of first-degree criminal trespass. Longmont police followed his tracks in the snow over several miles and arrested him and an 18-year-old man on suspicion of entering unlocked vehicles along the route and stealing items from inside. Police reported he and the man collected small valuables and more than $1,000 in cash in the overnight spree.
McClintock pointed out to the judge that the boy had been placed on probation only 16 days prior. His bond was set at $1,500, and social services was assigned to investigate his living situation because officers reported deplorable conditions during the arrest. He was given another court date for official filing of changes.
Problems, children
It has been a frustrating few months for many Longmont residents who suffered vehicle thefts, break-ins and smashed windows in incident after incident.
Fourteen juveniles are responsible for a majority of the crimes, according to Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur, and all 14 have been arrested, some more than once. They are not organized into a gang, according to investigators. Their affiliation is looser than that, he said.
"It was right around September or October when we started to pick up a number of the same kids," Satur said, noting that all 14 aren't responsible for all of the crimes, but groups within the 14 were involved in different incidents.
"They are all associated with each other, but they haven't all been arrested at the same time," Satur said. "We're keeping up the pressure on them."
The Longmont Police Department withholds most juvenile offender identity information from public release according to the state's laws, but there are some cases when a juvenile's name can be made public. According to the department's standard procedures, records supervisors can release juvenile arrest information when a juvenile — ages 12 to 17 — had a handgun, is accused of committing a first- through fourth-degree felony, or crimes involving weapons or any crime classified as a violent crime, which can lead to lengthy prison terms.
Join us for a live chat
Go to timescall.com at noon Monday to join Pierrette J. Shields for a live, one-hour chat about the issue of juvenile crime. Prosecutor Jenny McClintock will join Pierrette and be available to take your qusetions.
According to police, the 14 boys suspected in repeated criminal episodes were responsible for breaking windows on more than 60 vehicles in the fall. They stole multiple cars. In one case, a 14-year-old boy who stole a car from a Longmont Qdoba parking lot got as far as Westminster with it. There police tried to stop him and he fled, eventually crashing into a house where a 2-year-old girl suffered cuts from broken glass, Satur said.
They have been arrested on suspicion of car theft, break-ins, burglary, drug possession and bond violations.
In cases where the names can be released publicly, the Times-Call withholds the names from publication unless the suspect is accused of a violent crime, such as attempted murder or murder, or is suspected of using a weapon in the crime and there is an ongoing public safety risk.
Satur said that the crew has so far avoided hurting anyone seriously or escalating to violence, but incidents like the chase with the Westminster officers could have ended with much more serious consequences.
That could have been very serious," he said. "Once you do that there is no take-back."
He said officers know that juveniles can still be diverted from lifelong criminal activities, but seeing the same kids in cuffs is disheartening.
"We get frustrated when we arrest them and arrest them and arrest them."
Juvenile justice
Peggy Jessel is the chief deputy district attorney for the juvenile division. She leads criminal prosecutions of juvenile defendants.
She said that while the court can be punitive, it also focuses on trying to get kids on the straight and narrow by using tools such as intervention, probation, social services and counseling.
"What we want to do is target the behavior to reduce the risk of recidivism, number one; and (for) community safety," Jessel said.
While it may seem to the general public that juvenile offenders operate under a cloak of anonymity because their names typically are not publicized, she said stakeholders are aware and tracking them.
"A lot of adults are aware and working together to reach appropriate dispositions that involve preventing them getting deeper into the system and to make the victims whole if we can," Jessel said.
If the child's name is made public, she said, it can be harder to persuade families to work with intervention and the child can be stigmatized as a criminal.
She noted that a child's school principal is notified of the arrest and that schools provide information to the courts about the child's attendance
Juvenile offenders complete a risk assessment when they are arrested. Jessel said the assessment includes things such as school attendance, drug use, drug or alcohol use in the home, risk of recidivism, and whether there are domestic violence issues in the home.
That can mean that a parent can be court-ordered to provide specific conditions in the home, like a sober home, in order to avoid penalties or the removal of the child from the home.
"We need to target trauma and reduce trauma triggers," she said. "The children's code allows us a lot of latitude in making those kinds of protective orders. The judge has a lot of discretion."
The Boulder County District Attorney's Office is working to determine exact recidivism numbers, but it reported last week that it appears that kids reoffend at a rate of about 20 to 25 percent. Jessel said many of those offenses are drug-related, particularly marijuana.
Police officers in Longmont can choose to refer offenders to restorative justice instead of the criminal justice system in cases where the suspect immediately takes responsibility for a minor offense. The system allows victims to participate in the process and weigh in on penalties, like community service and restitution plans.
She said cases of consistent reoffense, like the 14 juveniles identified by the Longmont Police Department, are rare.
"There are a few kids who push us to our upper limits, but not many," she said. In those cases, containment is the ultimate answer.

Certain phrases will be retired, or have strict limitations on them:
The words "artisan" and "artisanal" can only be used to refer to products manufactured by a company with fewer than 20 employees, and cannot be used for anything naturally grown (like lettuce, FFS). If it's not handmade, it's not artisan.
The use of the phrase "reaching out" and its derivatives will be punishable by death. I am sick of hearing "I'm reaching out to you today" or "We're trying to reach out." Bullshit. Do you say "I reached out to Mom to wish her a happy birthday?" No! You freakin' called her. Or sent her a card. Or email. Or whatever. "Reaching out" is what you do when trying to get pancake mix off the top shelf.
"Reaching out's" evil twin "touch base" will also be banned. Not only is it stupid, it sounds like a code phrase Jerry Sandusky would use. It will be strictly limited only to baseball announcers where appropriate.
Saying "think outside the box" will be punishable by being interred in a large box. Without airholes.
"Empower" really needs to go. It's stupid. I mean, hell, I empower my kids to take out the garbage, and they still don't. It's condescending. Worst of all, it brings back memories of a horrific blind date I went on in the early 90's where this girl kept saying it. She empowered me to pick a restaurant. She empowered me to order for her. She empowered me to decide what show to go to, and where to have a drink after the show. And after all that she didn't even empower me to sleep with her.
Want to use the phrase "push the envelope"? Under President Grumpy you'll be sealed in a big paper envelope and pushed into the Grand Canyon.
Do you always "give 110%"? Good. Because pretty much all it says is that you're a moron who failed 3rd grade math. If you're caught saying it when I'm in office you'll be sent back to grade school. And have to sit in one of those tiny desks.
The Disney company will be forbidden to use the word "classic" in advertisements for pretty much anything. And they can't use artisanal, either.
There will be a minimum wait time of 25 years before Hollywood can even think about remaking a movie. Violators will be forced to watch the new "Total Recall" until they gouge their eyes out.
The phrase "goes" to refer to people speaking will be replaced by the rightful "says." Believe it or not, this one drives me crazier than any of the above. It started when I was in High School, and just keeps spreading. Like Ebola.
Politicians who espouse screaming and yelling at the opposition will be dropped into a desert with an equal number of equally stubborn people from the other side, under circumstances where their mutual survival depends on finding ways to work together and be polite. This will be aired as a TV show called "Modern Sandbox," with advertising revenue and T-shirt sales going toward the national debt.
Remember: Vote Grumpy in November! Unlike my competitors I actually have my birth certificate immediately available (sort of - I think it's in an old briefcase in the back of my Dad's closet) and I don't own an Olympic horse that I'm spending $77,000 per year on. I've also never driven with a dog strapped to the roof of my car. And I've never been to Kenya. Or Africa. Or the moon. After all, these are the REALLY important issues you should be paying attention to, not silly things like the economy or women's rights. And, like any good politician, I'm for sale. Someone (hell, anyone), please buy me. I take Paypal.

Smoldering fire climbs up wall, into space between ceiling and second floor
Fire caused about $20,000 damage to a two-story building east of Maricopa Thursday morning.
The fire was reported at 9 a.m. in a building owned by Sun Pacific on the south side of Highway 166 about 7 miles east of Maricopa.
Kern County Fire Capt. Chris Hoover said firefighters found smoke coming from the metal storage and office building when the arrived and waited for additional engines before making entry because of a possible backdraft situation.
When they entered, they found a fire had started near and electrical outlet on the first floor and then spread up the wall and into the space between ceiling second floor.
When they cleared the smoke, they found the fire had burned a large hole in the second floor.
Hoover said the fire had apparently been smoldering for some time.
Engines from Taft, Maricopa, Old River and Mettler responded to the fire.

NHTSA — Electrical System: Software Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Cobalt inherited most of the problems from the 2005 and 2006 model years, but toned them down (a bit). Sure, the power steering still fails and the car has a chance of going up in flames due to a cracked fuel tank, but it's not as prevalent as the older models. At least not yet.
In 2012, the Cobalt was recalled for gas tank fires but only for owners in certain states.
Then in 2014, the 2007 Cobalt was part of a massive GM recall due to a defective ignition switch that could cause the airbags to not deploy during an accident. The problem led to 13 deaths, government investigations and multiple class-action lawsuits.

When Sarasota was incorporated, some town ordinances were established to help it prosper.
According to local historians, the first person to quit a job with the government of Sarasota was Town Marshal T.F. Blair. And who could blame him? In February of 1903 Blair grossed only $14 — $10 in salary and a dollar each for the four arrests he made during the month. He was due more: $3 a month for caring for the street lamps, but they had not been installed, and also 2 1/2 percent for license fees, but the amounts had not been established.
Even in 1903, $14 a month did not stretch very far.
Concurrent with his duties as Marshal, Blair doubled as the sanitation inspector; an unenviable job title at the beginning of the last century. If an animal carcass was found on the street and the owner could not be located, it was left to Blair to remove it — no easy feat with a dead mule or horse that had to be dragged away and disposed of. Probably worse, the Marshal was also assigned privy duty, inspecting same to insure that they were regularly emptied and kept "strictly clean and deodorized."
And there was more. He was also responsible for examining the condition of stovepipes, chimneys, flumes and kerosene lamps which might lead to a fire, and insuring that weeds and overgrown foliage in the township were kept in check. And there was the paper work to present to the city council and warrants to serve.
Fed up with this daunting and often distasteful workload, Blair asked for a raise. It was declined and he dutifully turned in his badge and hung up his holster and six-shooter.
This was all back in the long-ago day when Sarasota was a primitive community of a few hundred hard working souls, striving to fulfill the hopeful town motto, "May Sarasota Prosper," and capitalize on its beauty, climate and waterfront location to draw newcomers.
Sarasota was just a minor part of Manatee County. In 1902 about 50 citizens, seeing their future was at hand, voted to incorporate as a town.
A God-fearing town
When this was validated by the state legislature in 1903, the ordinances for the town were formulated to maintain law and order, a necessary ingredient for a successful community. Sarasota had been stigmatized by the Sara Sota Vigilance Committee, which had killed Postmaster Charles Abbe in 1884 and had been dubbed by the New York Times the "notorious Sarasota Assassination Society."
Mayor John Hamilton Gillespie, with the consent of the town council, appointed Blair the Marshal. He was given the power as the need arose to add policemen who were, "to remain on the streets, and to keep constantly moving upon their beats, never remaining longer in one place than 15 minutes. Nor enter any house or bar-room unless required to do in the discharge of their duty." Nor were they allowed to leave town without the written consent of the mayor.
For the most part, this was a staunchly God-fearing community (the first convention was a gathering of Baptists who railed about the demonizing effects of whiskey). Gillespie, who took the lead in formulating the ordinances, was a founder of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer here. Much import was attached to the moral fiber of the town, with 17 sections of the ordinance addressing "Chastity, Public Decency, Morality."
Anyone who kept a "bawdy house" could be fined not less than $10 nor more than $100 and given from 10 to 30 days in the calaboose to contemplate the evil of their ways. Furthermore, the Marshal could "abate such nuisance by demolishing, tearing down or closing up such a house."
Any woman with a bad reputation regarding chastity and virtue, "who shall be found on the streets plying her vocation or soliciting men, drinking, sitting on the streets, or in front of stores, or lounging in saloons, or conducting herself in a forward and improper manner" was looking at a fine of $50 and 30 days in jail.
Tough laws
A person seen to be nude in the little town, "or in a dress not belonging to his or her sex," faced a $100 fine and hard labor. If a person was caught bathing nude or swimming nude in any of the bays or bayous during daylight hours, they also faced punishment of up to $50 or 30 days in the slammer.
Gambling was forbidden and carried a punishment of from $20 to $50 and 30 days of hard labor.
And while cursing may have been tolerated — it too was forbidden within earshot of a religious service. "Making any noise or by rude and indecent behavior or profane discourse within in a place of worship or near to the same as to disturb the order and solemnity of the meeting," would incur up to a $100 fine and 30 days confinement.
Fire was an ever present threat to the fledgling community; the town almost went up in flame several times, so it was against the law to go into a stable or barn or anyplace where there might be combustible material with an uncovered light. The penalty for that indiscretion was $50 or 20 days for that indiscretion.
Vagrants were dealt with harshly: A $25 fine and hard labor for up to 30 days.
Bicycle riders faced a $10 fine for riding on the sidewalk. And a person drove their vehicle over a bridge faster than a walk they could get a $100 fine and 30 days jail time. Even standing still could cost you. If someone could not pass you by on the sidewalk where you were taking up space, the penalty was $5 or five days in jail.
The speed limit was set at 6 miles per hour and applied to locomotives passing through town. Except for railway personnel, jumping off of a train was illegal, as was tying a horse to a shade or ornamental tree. The penalty for that was $20 or 20 days in jail.
Unless of "absolute necessity" merchants had to close their businesses on Sunday, but barbers could stay open until 10 Sunday morning.
Marshal Blair's life story has been lost to local history, and it was left to his successors to enforce the local ordinances to insure Sarasota became lawful enough to grow and prosper.

TEKONSHA� A spark from the bench keyed a big second quarter Monday as the Hillsdale Academy girls basketball team stormed to a 47-13 victory over the Tekonsha Indians in a Southern Central Athletic Association game.
After only scoring six points in the first quarter, Hillsdale Academy (11-1, 10-1 SCAA) came to life offensively in the second. Getting key contributions from their bench, the Colts scored 20 points in the frame and carried a 26-4 lead into halftime.
The Colts outscored Tekonsha 8-1 in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.
"Our bench got us going and really keyed that second quarter," Hillsdale Academy coach Kevin Reed said. "We played really well in the second quarter, and our defense locked (Tekonsha) down really well all night long."
Christina Craig scored 10 points and handed out four assists to lead the Colts. Olivia Jones also scored 10 points, while Lyndee Wonders had eight points. Michaela Biegner grabbed seven rebounds and Elyse Lisznyai forced eight steals.
McKenzie Norman scored nine points to lead Tekonsha.
Hillsdale Academy will travel to Battle Creek St. Philip for a SCAA showdown Thursday.
Climax-Scotts 63, Litchfield 19
The Litchfield High School girls basketball team fell into a deep hole early and was unable to get back in the game in Monday's loss to the Climax-Scotts Panthers in a Southern Central Athletic Association game.
Climax-Scotts opened the game with a 14-3 run in the first quarter. The Panthers then extended the lead with a big second quarter, taking a 34-5 lead into halftime.
"They jumped on us and pressured our guards, and we had too many turnovers," Litchfield coach Bill O'Dell said. "We did settled down and play better in the second half. The best thing to come out of tonight was the girls never quit."
Harley Prater had six points and seven rebounds to lead Litchfield (5-4, 4-4 SCAA) Kaitlyn Wheeler added four points and three assists, while Haley Jones had four points, seven rebounds, two assists and three steals. Ariel Knight scored three points and grabbed 13 rebounds and Taylor Holcomb scored two points.
The Terriers will travel to Waldron next Monday.

Snapshots quite often disappear out of Bob. I don't know how to re-create this problem as they just seem to disappear at random.
At first I thought it could be me forgetting to take snapshots but now I always click on both snapshot and snapshot in chat button. Often the snapshots are still there in chat but missing from the snapshot menu on the lhs of the screen (never the other way around) so it seems pretty certain that they are disappearing.

New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon's budget address for the coming 2014 fiscal year morphed into a speech about improving government transparency and the relationship between the executive branch and legislative branch in the next four years. Gordon proposed no tax increase and hiring 19 employees. But New Castle County Council members wanted more details.
New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon's budget address for the coming 2014 fiscal year morphed into a speech about improving government transparency and the relationship between the executive branch and legislative branch in the next four years.
Gordon mentioned important budgetary items like the fact that he proposed no tax increase for New Castle County residents in the $250.9 million 2014 fiscal year budget that included a spending increase of 3.24 percent.
"We can't afford a tax increase in this economy," Gordon said before New Castle County Council Tuesday night at the City/County Building. "Wall Street had eight days of the highest stock market numbers in the history of this country. But 45 percent of labor in this state is sitting on the sidelines; it's not being shared. The 1 percent is getting richer and the middle class is dying."
Gordon said he would aim to get more local vendors contracts with New Castle County, and he spoke of his plan to hire 19 additional county employees mostly in the construction and maintenance sector to repair deteriorating buildings and facilities. He said maintaining the county's buildings and parks were crucial to New Castle's quality of life and ability to attract businesses to upstate Delaware.
"The maintenance on buildings has been put off for about eight years and they're decaying," Gordon said.
But Gordon spent much of his 35-minute budget address extending an invitation to New County Council members to visit executive departments anytime they wanted. In an unprecedented move, he even offered to give them access cards to drop into executive office branches without his supervision or an appointment in an effort to "become friends rather than adversaries."
"I think that's the way we do it the next four years," Gordon said. "By the end of the day, we're going to cut through this legislative-executive crap," he said to applause from the audience.
But, by the end of Gordon's half hour speech, several members of council were left wondering what the actual numbers of the budget were. Councilman George Smiley (D-New Castle), for one, said Gordon mentioned a whole "Christmas list" of items, including new hires, but did not mention much detail on how those new hires would be paid for.
Smiley, chairman of the Finance Committee, said he was looking forward to going home and actually reading the budget and to the budget hearings scheduled to begin next week.
The budget address was Gordon's first since he left office in 2004 and the first since taking office four months ago, a period he called a difficult transition.
Gordon said setting aside $150,000 to hire a highly qualified consultant was crucial to helping New Castle County give the Unified Development Code an overhaul after years of amendments. He also wanted to hire a consultant to help New Castle County and Wilmington petition the Delaware General Assembly stop having the upstate entities subsidize Kent and Sussex counties.
He also spoke of redesigning the county's website and utilizing Twitter and Facebook and enabling county residents to use their smartphones to pay their bills, apply for permits and report incidents of graffiti, Gordon said.
In addition, Gordon said he wanted the county's overhauled website to list all vendors and every penny paid out to them out of the executive's office as well as all campaign contributions made to the county's elected officials in the interest of full disclosure.
Lastly, Gordon spoke of New Castle County's important relationship with the city of Wilmington – the county seat – and the need to improve their cooperation with regard to public safety. Gordon, a former New Castle County Police chief, said he met with Wilmington Mayor Dennis Williams earlier on Tuesday and agreed that absorbing the Wilmington Police Department into the county's was not the answer.
"So, the mayor and I structured it so that within a few weeks county police will be sworn in as Wilmington police and Wilmington police will be sworn in as county police," Gordon said, receiving an ovation from the crowd.
Councilman Penrose Hollins (D-Wilmington North) called Gordon's budget address "very unusual."
"There was talk about the what, why and when," he said. "But there was no mention of the how – the revenue, the expenses. I want to remain cautiously optimistic, but I 've got to deal with the realities here."
Councilman Timothy Sheldon (D-Pike Creek) was also anxious to read the budget. Until then, at the very least, he said the idea of Gordon trying to ease tensions between the branches of government intrigued him.
"I do like the idea," Sheldon said. "He extended the olive branch. I look forward to that."
Council members were usually given copies of the budget prior to the county executive's budget address, Councilwoman Janet Kilpatrick (R-Hockessin) said. She thought it was odd that council members did not receive the documents until after the meeting.
"I thought the speech was interesting," Kilpatrick said. "But it really was not a budget address. This was a lot of conceptual comments about where he would like to go with the county."
Plus, Kilpatrick was a little uncomfortable with Gordon's eccentric invitation for cart blanche access to departments within the executive branch.
"That's a check and balance," Kilpatrick said. "Certainly, we've always talked to managers of the departments. But we shouldn't be roaming the hallways … in a FOIA environment."
OPERATING BUDGET $250.9 million, a 3.24 percent increase
GENERAL FUND $169.2 million, a 3.16 percent increase
NON-DISCRETIONARY SPENDING (salaries, benefits, debt service) 88 percent
AUTHORIZED POSITIONS 1,581, an increase of 19
NO PROPERTY TAX INCREASE Average residential bill of $502 annually or $1.37 per day; 64 cents of every dollar goes to public safety
NO SEWER RATE INCREASE Average residential bill of $283 annually

Yikes! That's quite the outfit. :)ReplyDelete
Yep - I guess some people could pull it off. She couldn't.Delete
What a fabulous photograph. Certain days, certain fashions, certain styles should be preserved in aspic and viewed from 70 years in the future. this was one such day.ReplyDelete
I'm sure to appear in some fine Sepia Saturday post 50 years from now.Delete
wow, that is an outfit! Probably really cool in back in the day. I wonder if Aunt Cat owned a pair?!
I still have Joel's Osh-Kosh that Carol Johnson gave him size 6 months =)
I'm sure I don't have any of the girls' Osh-Koshes.Delete
I have a friend who used to refer to these as "overhauls" and I think this might be an apt term for the striped job on the unidentified friend. She could use a bit of a makeover as you point out, but on the positive side the garment itself looks well constructed..the stripes on the pockets match the stripes on the pants. Too bad she's got $10.00 worth of change packed into them for a secondary sag.ReplyDelete
Ha -- I hadn't paid attention to the pockets, but you're right!Delete
Just stopped by your website. I've been a member of GeneaBloggers for just over two months. This is a great community of bloggers. My blog gives me a chance to post some of the research "I've been sitting on" to use your words in about me. I'm retired and working harder than ever on several family history projects.ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting. I'll have to come visit you - maybe we're related on my Davis side.Delete
Forget the overalls - CHECK OUT THOSE SHOES!ReplyDelete
They're the best part.Delete
Wendy, splendid! she looks very out there in her striped pants with bib, these were just recently again in vogue but with "hot pants". I think my granddaughter was wearing a pair in blue jeans style!ReplyDelete
I had forgotten all about the overall-hot pants!Delete
I wonder if she made the overalls herself. If so there is probably a pattern somewhere.ReplyDelete
It is a great shot, but I don't think the overalls were that bad looking, really. They sure were comfortable too, as I recall.ReplyDelete
"Comfort" certainly would be good news.Delete
I think the overalls were semi-cute - if only they didn't fit better. Just a little adjustment here and there would have helped.
They probably were quite cute in their day, especially with matching shoes.Delete
They look pretty comfy to me. Especially the no constriction part in the bib section.ReplyDelete
Maybe so, but having to nearly completely undress to go to the bathroom would make me not want to wear it.Delete
Wow. That is quite the outfit. I bet she made it herself. She was probably quite proud to have her photo taken. I wonder where I can get the pattern? ha!ReplyDelete
There are plenty of people with Etsy shops specializing in vintage patterns. I bet if you look really hard ....Delete
Cor! Stripe me, pink!ReplyDelete
Osh, Gosh, They Flop? Such a funny picture! I wore striped men's overalls in high school.
Kathy M.
Photo, please.Delete
This is priceless. The only Osh Koshes I ever had were for the kiddos.
Uh, ya, she's probably very glad she's not identified in this photo. And hey, that outfit is SO fabulous, who WOULDN'T want to have matching shoes. They quite complete her ensemble. (Wouldn't it be funny if there was a matching purse too?)ReplyDelete
Very funny. We should have have a stripey theme one day. Or ugly shoes,ReplyDelete
Is it possible we haven't???Delete
Not being an expert on striped overalls I will refrain from making comments on both the stripes as well as on the wearer. It is a pity the stripes and the shoes take away all the attention from your great-aunt Catharine. And she is one charming lady!ReplyDelete
Yes, it is difficult to realize there are 2 people in the picture.Delete
Not every woman could (or should I say would?) wear an overall/jumpsuit like that! Can you tell the year from the license plate?ReplyDelete
I kept trying to see the year, but I wasn't successful.Delete
Let's us just hope it wasn't red and white stripes like a candy cane. Oh my, you could see her coming and going.ReplyDelete
I have wondered about the color, and I keep thinking red and white. Let's hope it was blue and white.Delete
Yes, yes, I can see why this was a "must-have"...

It was by a fluke of timing that the We Belong Together delegation was in Georgia speaking out against that state's SB 1070 copycat legislation on the same day that neighboring Alabama announced that large parts of its copycat legislation survived a legal challenge. But now that parts of Alabama's strict immigration law have been upheld, the countdown towards implementation begins. In other words, the time has come for the wave of fear that has been building across the country to come crashing over Alabama's growing immigrant population.
And this fear is warranted: on its face, the law aims to lock up immigrants or drive them out of the country, or at least the state. Short of driving the immigrant population out, the law may effectively drive immigrants into the factories and the fields as it tries to ensure that they are uneducated, impoverished, and easily exploitable. As the We Belong Together delegation highlighted, Arizona's concerns have become those of Georgia, and it is now clear that these concerns are very real in Alabama, too.
After Arizona passed SB 1070 in 2010, it received such a firestorm of attention that it seemed unlikely that other states could top what seemed to be a new low in anti-immigrant legislation. But Alabama took on the challenge, and its answer to SB 1070 is regarded as one of the strictest pieces of anti-immigrant legislation in the country. This legislation didn't go into force immediately because of legal challenges contending that the law is not valid because it conflicts with federal immigration law, but implementation can now start because a federal judge in Alabama has upheld parts of the law.
One of the main distinguishing provisions of the Alabama legislation is a requirement that schools verify the immigration status of their students. While there is no explicit plan for what this information would be used for, its possible uses smack of violations of Plyler v. Doe, a Supreme Court decision in which Texas was prohibited from denying public K-12 education, including charging tuition, to undocumented schoolchildren. And as if being potentially unconstitutional weren't enough, Alabama's law is just bad policy and is likely to do little more than depress school attendance and reduce parental participation in schools, as SB 1070 has in Arizona even without specifically targeting schools.
The federal judge who issued the ruling reserved judgment on some pieces of the Alabama legislation, freezing their implementation until further review. One of the provisions receiving further review would bar non-citizens, including lawful permanent residents, from attending public institutions of higher education. This effort to curtail access to education, which is as crucial for the wellbeing of the country as it is for individuals, comes at a time when Texas is under fire for a decade of improving access to education for people of all immigration statuses, and states such as California and Rhode Island celebrate taking steps towards doing the same. It seems, then, that one of Alabama's top priorities is that immigrants be uneducated…perhaps because Alabama industry likes best those with least education because it is easier to make them work hard for little pay?
In any case, the American dream, what still exists of it, fundamentally requires education. It is the way for families to improve their standard of living, generation after generation. And it is particularly important for immigrant women because they are often heads of household, trying to make better lives for their families, even in the face workplace discrimination that means that they make less money yet are subject to greater abuses that just about any other class of workers in the country. Alabama's new immigration law whittles away at immigrants' access to education, which is the proverbial bootstraps of the 21st century, making it harder for immigrants to pull themselves—and their families—up.
National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health is a member of the group of strong, educated women, many of them immigrants or children of immigrants, participating in the We Belong Together delegation. Along with the work of the National Coalition for Immigrant Women's Rights, the We Belong Together delegation showed how Alabama—and Georgia and Arizona and South Carolina and anyone else who may try—just hurts itself, and by extension everyone in the U.S., when it launches attacks on and tries to limit the potential of immigrants.

Texas mom to carjacker: You 'messed with the wrong witch'
Dorothy Baker fights off carjacking, runs over suspect
UPDATED 10:08 AM CDT Jun 17, 2013
y VIEW LARGE
A suspected carjacker messed with the wrong mom in Texas.
According to police, Ismael Martinez sprung up on Dorothy Parker after sneaking inside the backseat of her minivan in a Baytown drug store parking lot Friday afternoon.
He held a knife to her 5-year-old son's throat and told her to drive to the nearest ATM, police told Houston TV station KPRC.
Terrified but instinctively protective of her two children, Parker fought back, punching Martinez in the face and driving into a pole in hopes of sending him through the windshield, according to ABC News.
When that didn't work, she tried to wrestle the knife away from him while calling 911.
Baker was cut across the chest, but her aggression worked. Martinez fled the vehicle, although Baker unintentionally slammed into him with her minivan in an attempt to keep him at the scene, the Houston Chronicle reported.
"I didn't mean to run him over," she told ABC News. "I was just trying to stop him so he didn't hurt anybody else."
Martinez was airlifted to a nearby hospital with serious injuries and is expected to face felony charges.
"You don't come after people with kids," Baker told ABC News. "I told him he messed with the wrong witch."

My husband had been a truck driver for several years before being laid off in 2008. After that he searched for another job in the area we were in, and he had no luck. Around this time we decided that it was best if he retrained for a different career. We had talked about before, but really never had the time to look into it. Well my husband went back to school for IT. With his classes, we had to get the supplies he needed so that he could be prepared. I know when he was told that he had to get a certain calculator for class, it was a Texas Instruments calculator that they had recommended. I know that when most think of a calculator they may think of the basic little calculator that you use for basic math. That was not at all the case. The calculator we had to get, was very advanced, and it was also very helpful for my husband to use for school. I know when I went for nursing school I also had to get a Texas Instruments Calculator. Well it seems as though the calculators from Texas Instruments continue to impress me on what they can do when making new calculators. I was sent a TI-Nspire CX to review for my readers. This is the calculator of calculators. This is one that you have to get for your student this Christmas!! I mean, it is perfect for both high school students and college students, and the thing is not only will it make life easier for your student with getting their work done, but it does so much more! It has a color screen, so the back is lit, and when they are graphing they can color code the equations, objects, lines and points. They can transfer their assignments to their computer. They can also use their own photos or digital images so they can discover and do real world equations.
TI-Nspire CX!
Tell me who you will give the TI-Nspire CX to if you win! Please leave me your email with this entry!!!

Well the time has come to see how much interest there is in producing these triggers. The production ones will not be as intricate or decorative as the previous one that I have shown you. They are simpler in design but none the less the same in function. Maghog was very generous in building these prototypes and I will be getting them built if the AO community wants them. This is not a pre order and will get done when I get the time. I am funding this on my own which is why I just want a count of how many people are interested. I would estimate the cost to be around $200. So if you are not prepared to spend a significant amount of money on a fancy trigger, then dont sign up. I will reduce the cost if I can get them produced for less. Here are the pics of the new ones which are not complete yet. They lack the magnets as I cannot install them before reproduction. The only videos I have are of the previous model. Here it is:
And heres the video link:
The magnets in the new trigger will be recessed into the trigger and will not stick out the way they do on the prototype. The trigger is milled for the return magnet and drilled and tapped for the HES magnet. I will start a list below.

Huskers Set to Host Big Red Invitational
Lincoln, Neb.- The reigning NCAA National Champion Nebraska bowling team is set to host its lone home bowling event of the 2013-14 season Thursday through Saturday at Sun Valley Lanes in Lincoln. NU will be one of eight teams competing at the event, which starts Thursday night at 5 p.m.
NU Head Coach Bill Straub is excited to give the Big Red faithful a chance to come watch the No. 1 ranked team in the country compete. Despite being the nation's top-ranked team, Straub did say the Huskers have plenty of room to grow, and will be challenged this weekend.
"The best team in the country right now is Arkansas State. They're one of eight teams competing here this week, and they're good … real good," Straub said. "We lost two starters who were All-Americans, and we're trying to replace them with freshmen. I'd like to think we're going to be better next spring than we are now. If that doesn't happen, then I'm not doing my job."
Senior Yan Ling is also really excited to compete in front of a home crowd, something the Huskers are not usually accustomed too.
"I think it is a great deal to bowl at Sun Valley Lanes, we can finally compete in front of our home crowd which is really nice," Ling said. "I like bowling at Sun Valley, it is a really nice place to compete."
As far as the team is concerned, in all of her experience through the past four years, Ling believes that the Huskers are really starting to get into a mental zone—which for a young team, this is something that is really important.
"We are in the zone, the people who are starting this week are really performing well in practice," Ling said. "I think everyone is in a good place mentally, and I think we will do really well this week."
Returning First Team NTCA All-American Liz Kuhlkin agrees with Ling, noting that it is such a great experience playing in front of a home crowd.
"I am really excited, we do not get this opportunity that often—to have the Nebraska fan base have an opportunity to come see what Nebraska bowling is all about," Kuhlkin said. "As usual we are trying to concentrate on the present. We are just trying to do our game and do the best we can this week."
Kuhlkin added that even though this year's Husker team is pretty young, Kuhlkin believes that the teams' chemistry is starting to click.
"It is a little difficult right now because we have so many new faces on the team, last tournament especially we had a few girls who have never competed before," Kuhlkin said. "Team chemistry is always important, we feel like it can either make you as a team or break you as a team, we always find a way to find it and use it to our advantage."
Check back here at Huskers.com for updates Thursday night and Saturday afternoon as the Huskers compete in their lone home tournament of the season, the Big Red Invitational. You can watch the Huskers compete at Sun Valley Lanes Thursday night, starting at 5 p.m. Central time. Competition resumes Friday at 9 a.m. and ends Saturday at 8 a.m.

This Kickstarter update for Shadowrun Returns offers a first look trailer with alpha gameplay footage from Harebrained Schemes' upcoming 2D turn-based RPG revival. Here's word on the clip, which runs nearly 20 minutes: "Remember as you watch the video that all the environments, conversations, and tactical situations you see were created using the Shadowrun Returns Editor - the same editor that will ship with the game on OSX and Windows. For us, re-energizing Shadowrun doesn't just mean making a game for you to play and enjoy (although that sounds GREAT). It means creating a set of tools for YOU to experiment with, express yourself with, and share."

Luther wrapped up its season with a split with Central College this afternoon here in Decorah.
The Dutch exploded for 14 runs on 12 hits en route to a 14-1 victory over the Norse in game one. The Norse tallied just four hits and committed eight errors.
Dakotah Rostad proved to be the game winner, as the Norse defeated the Dutch 3-1. Multiple hits were produced by Austin Graham, Zach Hendrikson and Daniel Schoess. Schoess was a home run away from hitting for the cycle, producing a double in the fourth, single in the fifth and a triple to right in the eighth.
Nate Whitham (2-2) went the distance on the mound. Whitham spread five hits, allowed one run, walked four and struck out two.

I can only muster one word here....AWESOME!
As many of you already know, my dad became a Chiefs fan in 1963 upon their arrival to Kansas City from Dallas. I was 7 yrs. old in 1963, so I was raised a Chiefs fan, along with my two younger brothers. I literally don't remember a life without the Chiefs being a part of it.
I grew up with legendary Hall of Fame players such as Abner Haynes, Bobby Bell, and Len Dawson, three of my dad's favorite Chiefs players. Though my roots are from Kansas, I grew up mostly on the West Coast, so my dad, myself and brothers, didn't have the opportunity to attend Chiefs games and events. We moved back to Kansas the summer of 1970. Earlier that year the Chiefs won SB IV on January 11th. We watched SB IV on TV living at the time in L.A.. I was a kid, so don't remember much about the game, but do remember my dad's excitement when our Chiefs won.
As an adult making my home in Kansas, I had the opportunity once in a while to attend a Chiefs game or event, like Draft Day at Arrowhead. My dad and brother, Ricky, did not, as they continued living out West. My dad passed in 1994. I brought him to Kansas so I could care for him his last two months of life, but he was too sick to attend a Chiefs game.
In 2007 my brother was diagnosed with kidney disease and also needed a caretaker. He came close a couple times in life, but never married and had no kids. I was the sibling he was closest to, so he came to live with me in Kansas Fall of 2007. He told me one of the first things he wanted to do once living with me was to attend a Chiefs game at Arrowhead.
My brothers birthday was in November, so for his birthday I bought us tickets to a Chiefs game. It was November 4th, 2007 we played the Packers. Brett Favre was my brothers favorite QB, and mine as well, so we were able to see Brett play at Arrowhead prior to his retiring. The Chiefs lost the game, but the memories we made that day are cherished and priceless. Little did I know that game would be my brothers first and last experience attending a Chiefs game at Arrowhead. I lost my brother on February 8th, 2008. I was with him in his ICU room when he had his code blue and left our earthly presence.
I read of so many Chiefs fans currently, who are boycotting the games because the Chiefs are losing. I think to myself...what if I had done that back when my brother was alive, and we had not attended the one game he would ever attend? I wouldn't have those cherished game memories with my brother. I just can't imagine making a point over losing being worthy of sacrificing such memories, but to each their own life priorities.
I raised my kids to be Chiefs fans, and grandkids now, also. I have cherished memories attending a few games with my son, and also my grandsons. I took my grandson Mikey, to his first Chiefs game in 2010. He told me and everyone he could, that his first game experience at Arrowhead was the best birthday he had ever had, hahaha.
I took my grandson Brennen, to his first Chiefs game in 2006. We won the game in the last seconds with a record long FG kick by Tynes. The crowd noise was deafening! My grandson covered his ears and looked up at me with a smile and said, "OH MY GAWD NANA, IT'S SO LOUD! DID WE WIN?!" He was 8 years old, so couldn't see over those standing in front of him, that we had made the unexpected winning FG, hahaha.
I have so many awesome cherished memories as a Chiefs fan attending games and events, that I could literally fill a novel with memory stories held within my heart. This past Sunday I created more cherished memories while attending the game and Alumni Weekend at Arrowhead. One memory in particular was a memory of a lifetime for me as a Chiefs fan.
With the evolution of Facebook I had become Facebook friends with Abner Haynes and interacted with him once in a while. Although I've met many Chiefs players over the years, I had never had the honor of meeting Abner. After the game on Sunday, I was walking out of the stadium when I noticed a crowd of fans gather around a gentleman asking for his autograph. As I walked closer I recognized him as Abner Haynes. I politely waited hoping at some point I would have an opportunity to introduce myself as one of his Facebook friends.
Abner has thousands of Facebook friends, so I didn't expect him to know me personally by name. When I introduced myself to Abner as, "Connie Jo from Facebook", I was overwhelmed by Abner's response. A big smile came across his face and he loudly with excitement said, "Connie Jo! I was telling Mr. Hunt today that two people I wanted to find and meet were Connie Jo and Deb from Facebook!" We gave each other a big hug and then he said, "what about Deb, is Deb with you?"
Deb is a good friend of mine, also active on Facebook related to the Chiefs. I told Abner that I had been with Deb earlier, but wasn't sure where she was after the game. About that time I glanced to see Deb standing not far away. I said to Abner, "well, there she is, there's Deb right there!" Deb heard me and came over. Abner then told Deb the same thing he had told me with much excitement in his voice, "I kept telling Mr. Hunt I wanted to find you and Connie Jo, that you were two people I had to find and meet while I was here!"
We chatted for a bit, but Abner needed to catch a plane back to Dallas where he lives. We took our photo together, then we said our goodbye's with hugs. I walked away in awe that Abner Haynes, a football hero and HOF legend, was so excited to meet 'me'...'me', a simple Chiefs fan. He made me feel so special and honored as a fan and person, yet I can assure you I was more than honored to meet him after a lifetime of knowing him by name.
Last Friday I had the opportunity to also attend the Chiefs 50th Anniversary Tour featuring Bobby Bell and Len Dawson. Years ago when my kids were young we had met Bobby while dining at his BBQ restaurant in KC, but didn't have a photograph opportunity with him at that time. I had also met Len once before at a signing event in 2006, and do have a photo of Len and I from that event. Having the opportunity to have my photo taken with Bobby and Len at the same time was priceless. They're two HOF legends I've been familiar with since childhood.
Being a Chiefs fan for me is much deeper than wins or losses, it's much more than just a game. For me being a Chiefs fan is a way of life, a lifestyle. After it became necessary for me to divorce in early 2009, in an effort to rebuild my life I sold my home in Kansas and moved to Kansas City. I became a Chiefs season ticket holder as well. I'm very grateful for the life my buddy above has blessed me with. Being a Chiefs fan is a blessing in itself, as are the lifetime memories created among family and friends attending Chiefs games and events.
The Chiefs are celebrating 50 years in Kansas City this season, and I've been blessed to experience those 50 years as a Chiefs fan in many ways. I hope my dad, and my brother Ricky, are smiling down from Heaven as they witness my blessings occur as a Chiefs fan. I hope in spirit they're able to share in my experience's as a Chiefs fan, since they didn't have the same opportunities as a fan that I've been blessed with. I know my dad would have been thrilled to meet Abner, Bobby, and Len, three favorite players during his era, HOF legends during mine.

Awesome, indeed, Connie Jo.
IMHO, Bobby Bell was THE best pure football player to ever play the game. He could play LB, DE, TE, and he was the Chiefs long snapper & emergency QB. And he hit opposing ball carriers like a ton of bricks.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Junior Nick McCrory captured the Atlantic Coast Conference title in men's 1-meter springboard diving for the third time in his career and classmate Lauren Weaver earned All-ACC honors in the 50 freestyle to lead Duke on the second day of the 2013 ACC Women's Swimming & Diving Championships at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.
The Blue Devil women are currently in seventh place with 107 points and trail North Carolina by just six points after the first two days of competition in Greensboro. Virginia leads the field with 309 points, followed by Florida State (177) in second and NC State and Virginia Tech in third (166).
After pacing the field in the 1-meter springboard diving preliminaries, McCrory passed Virginia Tech's Logan Shinholser in the fifth round of the event final to claim the ACC title. McCrory totaled 433.95 points in the final, with his highest-scoring dive coming in the fourth round on a back 2 ½ somersault in the tuck position which earned him a score of 81.00 from the judges. The Chapel Hill, N.C., native has now won the 1-meter conference title three times in his career and owns five ACC titles overall, matching an ACC record for men's diving. McCrory is just one title shy of becoming the most decorated men's diver in the history of the ACC Swimming & Diving Championships.
"I'm happy with the way this went," McCrory said. "It was definitely a tough final, with a lot of competition coming from Logan Shinholser of Virginia Tech. I was really happy with my return to the ACC Championships."
The opening event of Thursday's evening session saw the Blue Devil women set a new program record in a relay event for the third time in as many outings. Junior Lauren Weaver, freshman Chelsea Ye, junior Christine Wixted and freshman Kathryn Eckhart placed fourth out of eight teams in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a mark of 1:30.56, nearly a second faster than the previous school record. The time also surpassed the NCAA provisional standard in the event.
Freshman Kiera Molloy turned in an impressive performance in the 500 freestyle, dropping time from her personal-best showing in the morning preliminaries to finish 19th at 4:54.37. A pair of Blue Devils followed suit in the finals of the 200 IM, as sophomore Ali Horn finished 15th in a personal-best 2:02.08 and classmate Katherine Plevka took 24th with a 2:05.27 clocking. Plevka also grabbed a personal-best time during the event preliminaries at 2:04.87.
Weaver rounded out the evening on a high note, garnering the first All-ACC accolades of her career with a third-place finish in the finals of the 50 freestyle (23.37). The junior from Cincinnati, Ohio also broke her own school record in the event during the morning session, posting a time of 22.27 for an NCAA provisional cut. Meanwhile, Ye competed in the bonus final of the 50 freestyle, taking 22nd at 23.37. The Duke rookie also notched a personal-best time of 23.33 in the event preliminaries.
The morning's events saw several other Blue Devils record personal bests in individual swimming events, with five best times coming in the preliminaries of the 50 freestyle. Eckhart (23.41), junior Kelly Hagerty (23.53), freshman Linsay Cooper (24.07), junior Tricia Leeson (24.11) and senior Cara Vogel (24.34) all registered personal bests in the 50 freestyle while junior Eneka Lamb also collected a best time in the 500 freestyle preliminaries (5:09.77).
Duke also excelled in the preliminaries of the women's 3-meter and men's 1-meter springboard diving events Thursday afternoon. Freshmen Jaimee Gundry (271.25) and Kendall McClenney (268.10) came in 13th and 14th, respectively on the 3-meter board and senior Jordan Long surpassed the NCAA Zone Diving Championships standard at the 1-meter height with a score of 301.55. Long finished 14th in the field of 23 divers, followed by freshman Deon Reid in 15th (296.55) and sophomore Clay Pinckney in 18th (290.50).
"We had a lot of lifetime bests this morning, highlighted by Lauren going 22.2 for a really strong 'B' cut in the 50 free," said head coach Dan Colella. "With her coming back tonight and getting on the podium, we're really proud. We're also very proud of what our divers did today on the boards, especially Nick coming back and winning. It was great to see."
The 2013 ACC Championships continue Friday, Feb. 22 at 11 a.m. with the preliminaries of the 400 IM, 100 butterfly, 200 freestyle, 100 breaststroke and the 100 backstroke. The preliminaries of the women's 1-meter and men's 3-meter springboard diving events will be held Friday afternoon, followed by the finals of all individual swimming and diving events and the 400 medley relay.
The ACC Digital Network and ESPN3 will both carry live streaming of Friday's finals session beginning at 7 p.m. Live results will also be available for Friday's preliminaries and finals.

quote:Originally posted by Guest4449I guarantee you that if it had been mario with edm in the early 80's and was pain and injury free you would have seen numbers put up that would have been so rediculous there would never be another play that would ever have a shot at the records that man would set.
quote:Originally posted by Guest7877Guest 4449I am not taking anything at all away from Mario, another all time great. But to make a statemenet that if he was healthy and if this and that, come on man. You could make those statements about any player. Fact remains, Gretzky put up those numbers that he did because of his skills and the players that surrounded him. Yes he was surrounded with HOF'rs but why should that be a knock on him? Mario put up the numbers he did because of his skills. Could he have had better numbers if he stayed healthy? Likely, but nobody will ever know. Facts are facts and that is what is being compared, why attempt to cloud the facts with "what ifs", when in reality they don't mean a damn thing.
quote:Originally posted by shazariahlMost these posts seem to be a couple years old. I'm wondering if now, after basically 4 seasons of Crosby's career, does anyone really think he's even close to Gretzky's level? By this time Gretzky was really hitting his stride - he's put up 50 in 39 and 92 goals in a season, broken the 200 point mark for the first time in hockey history, and was following up that season with another 196 points. From here he'd go on to break 200 points 3 straight times. On the other hand, Crosby, who looked fairly comparable at the start of his career when Wayne's numbers were adjusted for scoring, doesn't look even REMOTELY close to Wayne's level now, only two years later. Where Wayne was breaking 200 points and winning scoring races by an unprecedented 70 points, Crosby's 3rd in league scoring. He won't win the Art Ross or the Hart, both of which Wayne would go on to own for an entire decade. Crosby certainly looked comparable in his first two seasons, but he seems to have fallen DRASTICALLY off the pace now. The only true positive I can say for Crosby is that he did manage to help take his team to a cup finals, which is impressive for such a young captain. Also, he was injured much of last year. But so far he's looked more fragile than Wayne, and isn't putting up anywhere near the points.
quote:Anyone who would say Crosby never watched Gretzky play.
quote:Originally posted by Beans15We all know that Crosby has the talent, but does he have the ability to succeed??
quote:Originally posted by Beans15 I will agree that Crosby belongs in Gretzky's class one day, but it's not today.
quote:Originally posted by nashvillepredsquote: Secondly, how many points would Iginla get playing with a 27 year old Gretzky in today's NHL? More than a 100 points! Hate to break it to you but iginla is already getting aroung 100 p-oints a seasonGO PREDATORS GO
quote: Secondly, how many points would Iginla get playing with a 27 year old Gretzky in today's NHL? More than a 100 points!
quote:Originally posted by fly4apuckguyBernie Nichols scored 70 goals and 80 assists one year. That's 150 points. Jarome Iginla has never cracked 100 points. That speaks volumes about the way the game is played now vs then.
quote:Originally posted by Beans15Willus comparing old time hockey to today is like comparing the Buggatti to a Civic. There is no comparison. A kid like Crosby was never coached to block shots or drive head first into his corner for the puck. In today's NHL, it is stupid for an elite offensive player to play that style of hockey. Crosby does not have to, and if he chooses to, his coach should be cracking him up side the head. He get paid to put points on the board.If you are under the age of 15, please do some research before you make a post about anything pre-1997.

NEW LONDON, N.C. -- The Duke men's golf team shot a seven-over 295 in challenging conditions in the final round at Old North State Club on Sunday to finish sixth overall at the ACC Championship with a two-under 862. Sophomore Austin Cody paced the Blue Devils with a one-under 71, while junior Adam Sumrall posted an even-par 72 in the final round.
"We went into the tournament with some high expectations and sometimes that is the right motivator and sometimes it doesn't work out," said head coach Jamie Green. "The reality is that these guys, top to bottom, had the game to play well this week and that showed itself in spurts. Each guy had a couple of things that unfortunately popped up this weekend that showed we need to do a little bit more work. We would have loved to have had a better ACC Championship, but there is still a lot of golf to play. We have some time to work on some individual things before regionals and we will see where that takes us."
Georgia Tech claimed its fourth straight ACC crown with a seven-shot victory over runner-up Virginia. The Yellow Jackets finished at 27-under (837). Florida State was third at -17, 847 and followed by Virginia Tech (-7, 857), Clemson (-7, 857), Duke (-2, 862), North Carolina (+3, 867), Wake Forest (+4, 868), N.C. State (+8, 872), Maryland (+13, 877) and Boston College (+33, 897).
Ben Rusch (Virginia) fired a three-under 69 in the final round to claim the individual title with a 10-under 206. Lee Bedford (Wake Forest) finished one shot back, while Blake Redmond (Virginia Tech) placed third with an eight-under 208. Anderson Albertson (Georgia Tech) and Denny McCarthy (Virginia) were tied for fourth at seven-under.
Sumrall was Duke's top finishes at the ACC Championship, placing tied for 14th with a 54-hole score of 214 (72-70-72). On Sunday, he recorded 16 pars, one birdie and one bogey for his third even-par round of the season. Sumrall bogeyed the par 3 third hole before getting back to even-par with a birdie on the 181-yard, par 3 seventh hole. The South Bend, Ind., native closed the event with 11 straight pars to secure his third top 20 finish of the season.
"Adam has spent a lot of time working very diligently on his golf swing. He has had some new things he has worked on with a new instructor and he has built up his confidence," added Green. "He saw some really good golf shots obviously but he also saw that his misses were good and very playable. It is all well and good to have a functional strong swing but at the end of the day when you are in a championship like this what it really comes down to is your mental strength. That was the thing that I was able see. He was in a great place mentally and that allowed him to be so consistent throughout the tournament."
Cody began the day with a bogey on No. 1 (par 5) but quickly got back to even-par with a birdie on the par 5 fourth hole. He suffered a bogey on No. 7 before bouncing back with birdies on No. 11 (par 5), No. 12 (par 4) and No. 13 (par 4) to slide to two-under on the round. The North Charleston, S.C., native went on to par four of the next five holes with a bogey on No. 17 for his eight under-par round this season. Cody closed the tournament tied for 41st with a five-over 221 (74-76-71).
"Austin's round today was terrific," said Green. "Scoring conditions were much different than the first couple of days so shooting under-par out there today was obviously a very strong score."
Junior Julian Suri posted a four-over 76 on Sunday to finish tied for 18th with an even-par 216. The top 20 finish was his eighth in 10 tournament this season. Suri opened with a birdie on No. 1 but suffered bogeys on No. 2, No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8 to make the turn at three-over. He trimmed a shot with a birdie on the par 4 12th hole before carding bogeys on No. 14 and No. 17 down the stretch.
