| Thrashers In An Un-Good Place
They even took a 1-0 lead into the first break thanks to a Mark Recchi power play goal. But the Leafs scored three unanswered goals, one by Mats Sundin, another by Alexander Steen, (who just signed a 2 year, $3.4 million contract extension), and then the last when Nik Antropov notch the 100th goal of his career. Toronto ended the season series with Atlanta 3-0-1. Rubbing a little salt in the wound, Florida scored a game-tying goal with 4 seconds left in the 3rd against Philadelphia and then won it in overtime. That leaves the Thrashers in 4th place in the Southeast Division and 13th in the Eastern Conference
just one point ahead of Toronto in the 14th spot. Obviously, the frustrating 3-1 loss to Toronto leaves Don Waddell and the Thrashers in an un-good place, to put it mildly.
Brent Boyer: Good news — more content
Dave's Sunday Outdoors page is one of the most popular sections of our newspaper, and I'm happy to report Shively isn't going anywhere. He has been named our first full-time magazine reporter, assuming responsibility for much of the editorial content in At Home in Steamboat Springs magazine as well as our other magazine products, including Explore Steamboat, Yampa Valley Real Estate and Colorado Hunter.

Two additional staff updates worth noting: Steamboat Springs High School senior Katie Birch is doing a reporting internship at the newspaper. She's already had one story published, and we'll push her to continue producing one story a week throughout the remainder of the second semester.
How I Finally Sold My House After 9 Months
The key to selling any home is preparing the home for sale," said agent Buzz Needham of Realty Professionals. "You need to neutralize the home as much as possible. Outlandish color schemes need to be painted over with neutral colors. Excess furniture and wall mounts must go so buyers focus on the house not your belongings. Most important is the curb appeal. First impressions cannot be remade." Offer Incentives I offered unique incentives, although selling the furniture I used to stage my home was not one I had planned. I had told my agent to promote and offer a special incentive to anyone who made an offer after seeing my home during an open house. I offered a 3 percent discount to anyone who saw the home during the open house and made an offer within seven days.
Hubbard love
One American boy says he was cured of the dyslexia a psychiatrist told him he had, through his use of "study tech", an Applied Scholastics technique. Gambia's secretary of state for education is also seen praising Applied Scholastics. Finally, Tom Cruise pops up, filmed giving a speech to celebrate the opening of Applied Scholastics International's headquarters in St Louis, Missouri. He talks fluently, charmingly and persuasively about the difference "study tech" made to him. He is long-haired and bearded. "Must have been when he was doing The Last Samurai," Wilson murmurs. "Study tech" is as an educational system which addresses the problems of how to learn, rather them how to teach or how to shape a syllabus. There is a school in the UK - Greenfields in East Sussex.
Charles Stross' dense stories have made him a Singularity sensation
When you're convinced you're going to travel to other worlds, science fiction signifies something different to you than the Tales of the Brothers Grimm. And when you look back you realize that the world you live in is science fiction, as seen from the perspective of the past. (But then, the past is another country, isn't it?) Asking me about the guiding purpose of science fiction is a bit like asking a fish about the guiding purpose of the sea. I'd have to say that first and foremost, SF is fiction. It's confabulation. It's the stories we tell each other for amusement and social bonding. I'm skeptical about assigning purpose to an artistic phenomenon, because it's something that, at bottom, we do for fun and communication. (When used for communication it may be used with serious intent, but that's far from being the main purpose of most SF.) Having said that, I do believe it's possible to insert interesting messages in fiction, and because fiction is viewed as a recreational activity this makes it possible to get them across to people who might not otherwise be receptive.
This year, the American people will choose between two diametrically ...
The Democratic Party looks at our nation and sees the twilight of the American soul. Republicans affirm that now, as throughout history, the spiritual and intellectual genius of the American people will create a better nation and maintain a just peace. To Republicans, creativity and growth are imperatives for a new era of opportunity for all. The Republican Party's vision of America's future, the heart of our 1984 Platform, begins with a basic premise: From freedom comes opportunity; from opportunity comes growth; from growth comes progress. This is not some abstract formula. It is the vibrant, beating heart of the American experience. No matter how complex our problems, no matter how difficult our tasks, it is freedom that inspires and guides the American Dream.

Vote in a poll: Should Richard Roberts return as the president of ORU?
Oral Roberts University's executive vice president of academic affairs and provost offered his resignation to the board of regents on Thursday if the board decides to keep Richard Roberts as president.
Mark Lewandowski wrote regents Chairman George Pearsons that he "would be pleased to continue to serve" in his job if Roberts resigns or is not reinstated, according to his letter first obtained by The Associated Press.
Roberts has been on a leave of absence as ORU president since Oct. 17 while the board and independent auditors investigate allegations made in a lawsuit that he and his family misused ORU and Oral Roberts Ministries money and resources.
Alert consumers can learn to dodge phishing scams
HACKENSACK, N.J. THE ALERTS LOOK AUTHENTIC, BUT DON'T LET THAT FOOL YOU. Any financial warning you get over the Internet is probably bogus especially if it seems to come from a bank or credit card company claiming it is trying to save you from the crooks. Recently, there's been a surge in electronic notices warning consumers that their account has been compromised and telling them how to fix the problem. That usually entails calling a toll-free number or clicking on a link to the company's Web site. Either way, you should assume that the intent is the opposite of what it promises, and that its only purpose is to get you to divulge your personal information and use that to loot your account. Phony bank notices have been around as long as e-mail, and many notices are rather crude, full of misspelled words and other red flags.
