Hillarys Bust Artist Daniel Edwards has done a Artwork he calls "The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: The First Woman President of the United States of America" Senator Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Bust To Be Unveiled at the Museum of Sex FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- New York, NY- July, 26 2006--- A presidential bust of Hillary Clinton is set to be unveiled at the Museum of Sex on August 9, 2006 at 10 am. Accentuating her sexual power and bolstered by the presidential seal, The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: The First Woman President of the United States of America will be officially open for public viewing on August 9 for a limited six week run. Artist Daniel Edwards describes this new sculpture as capturing Clinton “with her head held high, a youthful spirit and a face matured by wisdom. Presented in a low cut gown, her cleavage is on display prominently portraying sexual power which some people still consider too threatening.” Edwards’ inspiration for the piece was derived from actress Sharon Stone’s controversial quote earlier in the year about challenges that would most likely be encountered should the Junior Senator from New York run on the ’08 ticket. “I think Hillary Clinton is fantastic,” Stone said. “But I think it is too soon for her to run. This may sound odd but a woman should be past her sexuality when she runs. Hillary still has sexual power and I don’t think people will accept that. It’s too threatening.” “Displaying a sculpture to encourage discourse about the sexual power debate surrounding the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency is very much in line with our mission as a museum,” noted Daniel Gluck, Executive Director. “We are wholly dedicated to the exploration of the history, evolution and cultural significance of human sexuality. Historically, leaders are often expected to possess an exceptional amount of virility or fertility with displays of that sexual power often tied to their success. The artist’s portrayal of Hillary Clinton as a president who also happens to be a sexual being conveys the message that a woman need not squelch her sexuality in order to succeed as leader of the free world.”

Darcy on wgr on Dumont

Well for goodness sake what on earth did Darcy say this for, come on now. Good grief. Some of you do need settle down... JP is now a free agent, he may sign with who ever he wishes .

Darcy on WGR now (3:10 Pm) says he has offered JP Dumont a contract , who knows its possible he very well may still be a Sabre once he sees whats out there.

Wgr 550 says, The Sabres will walk away from the Arbitrators decision for JP Dumont, thus he is now a free agent.

I understand that, I did not take you to be being unkind. I was just remembering my time as young boy working on the farm in Saskatchewan. Its not for everyone, certainly folks who desire big city amenities it isnt for them.

Bet you never tried driving through the tall wheat fields in your pickup. Remember baling hay in Swift Current Saskatchewan for five cents a bale. After work was done , jumping in the pickup and driving in the wheat fields, the wheat so tall is was easy to get lost. Honest to goodness it depends on your desired lifestyle but Saskatchewan a really friendly place.

Jeremy was speaking about this , this morning. Paperclip For House A young man started out with the thought of trading a red paper clip for a house. first he traded Clip for a Fish Pen, then Fish Pen for a door knob, the door knob for a coleman stove, the stove for generator, the generator for a instant party, the party for a skidoo, the skidoo for a trip to Yak, the trip for a Cube Van, the Van for a Recording Contract, the Contract for one year in Phoenix, Phoenix for afternoon with Alice Cooper, Afternoon for one Kill Snow Globe, one Globe for one Movie Role, finally Movie Role for one house in Saskatchewan. Reading through the site this appears to be true....

Here is another version of what happened to Tanabe, which is sited in several sites and newspapers, which says they reached agreement before the hearing , but Bruins still retained right to walk away. Clearly they told him that they would walk away from arbitors decision, but would agree to sign him if they work out trade otherwise they were going to walk away from this deal as well, talk about having a guy by the balls. Tanabe New Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli traveled all the way to Toronto to present his club's side in an arbitration case with defenseman David Tanabe. Chiarelli never quite made it before the arbitrator, but it was far from a wasted trip. The Bruins and Tanabe reached a settlement yesterday without going to a hearing, with the two sides agreeing to a one-year, $1.275 million award. But that award is not a guaranteed contract. The Bruins retain the right to walk away from the settlement within the next 48 hours. It's the same right they would have been allowed after a decision by an arbitrator following a hearing. The $1.275 million figure is a raise over the $950,000 Tanabe made last year, and represents a compromise between the figures his representatives and the club were prepared to present at the hearing.

I will give them a call and see why they stated those figures. I do notice regarding Tanabe that the sides agreed to a contract before the arbitration hearing , this is what they are walking away from , not a arbitrators settlement. I am busy taking in the grain perhaps you can find the reasoning. also ESPN it appears story a AP story that various sites used, TSN in error in not using their own resources.

Adam Mair according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the players and the NHL, the Sabres have to automatically accept Mair's award because it is less than $1.4 million. The ruling also starts the clock on the team's decision whether to winger J.P. Dumont's $2.9 million judgment that he received Wednesday. Buffalo has until Tuesday to decide. If the Sabres walk away from the award, Dumont becomes an unrestricted free agent.

- yikes all players from both teams leave the ice , but the goalies , who meet at center ice.....

Do Have a Special Day

They intend to start with 8 teams. Franchise fee will be $2-3 million. The players saaries capped at $100,00 the players being paid out of league offices rather than individual teams. So far Purdue is in with others soon.

The All American Football League The All American Football League is a for-profit, professional football league. Most of the League's teams will be hosted by universities with Division IA football programs. Games will be scheduled in the spring and early summer at times that will not conflict with university activities. League teams will employ only those players who have both completed their college football eligibility and earned a four-year degree. This policy is expected to have a very positive impact on universities’ NCAA Graduation Success Rate and their Academic Progress Rate. To the extent practical, graduates of host universities will play for the team hosted by their alma mater. The League intends that each League team will sell memberships to its fans and supporters. Members may be entitled to renewable season tickets in preferred locations, preferred parking, and other “insider” benefits. The League also hopes to provide Members access to high-definition private broadcasts of League games. LEAGUE ADOPTS COLLEGE GRAD ONLY POLICY FOR PLAYERS The League charter allows only those players who have both earned a 4-year degree and completed their college football eligibility to suit up and play in the League. University educators and athletic department officials are quite hopeful that this policy will have a very positive impact on universities' NCAA Graduation Success Rate and their Academic Progress Rate. According to League Board Member Dr. Charles Young, who served as Chancellor of UCLA and President of the University of Florida for a combined total of 33 years, "The requirement that any players in this new league must have received their undergraduate degree and used up all their football eligibility is a great incentive for all players to stay in school through graduation. This is a critical provision of the All American Football League's policies, and one which will help to solve a problem which has been of great concern to all of us worried about the future of intercollegiate athletics." Because only a small percentage of players will actually make the NFL, and the average career length for those that do make it, is only 4 years, fans oftentimes lose track of their favorite players once their collegiate eligibility has expired. The League teams will feature grads of their host university with other roster spots reserved for grads of conference schools which are not currently hosting a team. For some players, the All American Football League will be a stepping-stone into, or back into the NFL. For many, it will be a chance to continue playing football on the campus of their alma mater in front of the loyal and enthusiastic fan base that has grown to love them. The League believes there is a pent up demand for games and seating at many of the major Division IA universities that will be hosting League teams. Alumni, fans and supporters of each university hosting a League team will receive first priority on memberships. This will entitle them to renewable season tickets in preferred locations, preferred parking, first option on tickets to playoff and championship games and other insider benefits. The membership model will allow League teams to keep prices at a very moderate level. The League is exploring the possibility of broadcasting games through a private network that might eliminate TV timeouts for commercial purposes. Although the League expects all or some League games will appear on commercial TV, fans who purchase "memberships" in their teams might have the option of accessing all games on the League's private network. Site asks what University would you like see host a team. Would Syracuse work out?

Team total salary getting up there now, just about $37 million with Ryan Miller and Dmitri Kalinin to sign. Clearly some interesting moves ahead.

The Arbitrator has awarded Sabre JP Dumont $2.9 , says WGR550
