Jack Klugman, the veteran actor best known for his roles in "The Odd Couple" and "Quincy, M.E.," has died, according to the Associated Press.
The AP cited Klugman's son Adam, who said his father died Monday afternoon in Los Angeles. He was 90.
In "The Odd Couple," he played Oscar, the messy and gruff half of title pair, for five seasons in the 1970s opposite Tony Randall. The show was based on the Neil Simon play.
A year after "The Odd Couple" ended, Klugman began playing Quincy, a medical examiner who helped solve murders.
The Emmy-winning Klugman survived throat cancer in the 1980s and had to learn to talk again.
He also had a prolific career on Broadway and appeared on the big screen in Sidney Lumet's "12 Angry Men" and Blake Edwards' "Days of Wine and Roses," among other films.
Krugman, the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, is survived by his wife, two sons, and two grandchildren.

Kate Taylor, Forbes Staff
A fresh perspective for the ambitious 20-something.
I grew up on post at West Point, New York, at the U. S. Military Academy, the daughter of a military doctor. The military is inescapably tied to my childhood. Cadets in uniforms led my Sunday School classes. My Girl Scout troop put flags on graves at the West Point cemetery on Memorial Day. I was used to waving to the armed military police guarded all gates in and out of post.
In my mind, the military has been an institution of honor, justice and unshakable loyalty. The new documentary The Invisible War, opening
In The Invisible War the facts presented are painfully clear. The Department of Defense estimates over 19,000 sexual assaults occurred in the military in 2010 alone. A conservative estimate states over 20% of women in the military will be sexually assaulted. According to the Service Women's Action Network, in 2010, 108,121 male and female veterans screened positive for military sexual trauma. And yet, the film shows a military that refuses to take action, silencing survivors of sexual assault and sweeping accusations under the rug.
Kirby Dick (director of Twist of Faith and The Dream is Not Yet Rated) and Amy Ziering (producer of The Memory Thief and Taylor's Campaign) interweave these statistics with the stories of women and men who were sexually assaulted while serving in the military. The film starts with veterans' discussing their excitement to serve their country and find the camaraderie and purpose provided by the military. They go on to describe their sexual assaults at the hands of people who were supposed to be their brothers in arms or leaders.
Brigadier General Loree Sutton says in the film "In the military when we're functioning at our best, we are brothers and sisters, a band of brothers and sisters, we are family. When that bond of trust is violated the wound penetrates to the very most inner part of one's soul, one psyche." While watching the men and women who had been sexually assaulted while serving, it seems impossible to deny the depth of the wound caused by military sexual assault. Nearly all struggle with PTSD and thoughts of suicide. Invisible War argues these are not personal tragedies, but an epidemic in the military. And yet, those that attempt to find justice seem to be left empty handed.
The bulk of the documentary is devoted to what it claims is the failure of the military to deal with this epidemic. We see a military response system for sexual assault that is structured so individuals who were sexually assaulted report to a higher up in the chain of command. In many cases that means survivors of sexual assault are forced to possibly confide in the perpetrator's friend or drinking buddy. In other cases, it means reporting to the assailant himself. What to do in that case? Major General Mary Kay Hertog, then-head of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office, advised survivors of sexual assaults to talk to their congressman if they were not satisfied with how the military dealt with their case. Hertog recently announced her decision to step down as the head of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office at the end of June 2012.
According to the film, even commanders without personal involvement in the case see an accusation of a rape as potentially harmful for their own career, and often sweep investigations under the rug. Five women talked to the producers of The Invisible War after reporting being assaulted by an officer while serving at Marine Barracks Washington. Four were punished or investigated for false accusations. Not one sexual perpetrator faced any punishment.
Further stats from the film are heart stopping. According to the Department of Defense, military officials received 3,192 sexual assault reports in 2011. Only 191 military members were convicted at courts-martial. Most sexual predators are repeat offenders. For the military to not maintain a database of sexual predators, and to allow the vast majority to return to civilian life without consequences for their actions is not only disturbing, but also dangerous. And yet, at the conclusion of the film, most of the known assailants tracked down by Dick and Ziering are apparently unaffected by their actions that tore others apart, successful and free.
Watching the film is an infuriating, heart breaking experience, but it is a purposeful one. Men are not demonized, with military husbands and fathers breaking down sobbing discussing the ways the military failed the people they cared about the most. Nor is Invisible War anti-military. The producers reported that 99% of the people involved, many of whom whose lives had been torn apart by their experiences while serving, would have refused to be interviewed if the military was shown in a shallow, negative, light. The potential for men and women to emphasize with the individuals who courageously share their stories in here is more than optimism – it is a call for action. Dick and Ziering hope that moviegoers will change things.
Since Invisible War's success at Sundance, where it won the Audience Award, Dirk and Ziering have toured the film for specific screenings, pinpointing people who have potential to allow true change to take place. Their strategy employs both "grass tops" and "grassroots" organizing, using both influential elites and on the ground organizations such as veterans' groups to create social change. It seems to be working. On April 14, 2012, Secretary of Defense Leon Penetta saw the film. Two days later, he took the ability to decide to prosecute soldiers accused of sexual assault away from commanders.
Still, for true change to occur, more action is needed. As a kid, my Colonel dad drilled a line from the Cadet Prayer into my head: "Chose to do the harder right instead of the easier wrong." Both military members and civilians have the potential to do so with the knowledge in The Invisible War, fighting to fix a system that allows for an epidemic of military sexual assault.

My daughter, Sgt. Sophie Champoux, spent 3 and a half years in the Army…Sophie was a combat medic whom was promoted to run the medic station after spending a year in Sharana, Afghanistan. She was not afraid of the 'enemy', she was afraid of her own soldiers. Sophie had me buy her a K-Bar because she hated taking her side arm to use the latrine. Sophie was raped in White Sands , NM, before deployment, Sharana, Afghanistan, while deployed, and FT. Stewart when she went back in her barracks. Sophie was on NJROTC while in high school and loved her job so much…planned to be a PA and maybe a doctor, as she wanted a family. Sophie's rapist at FT. Stewart, confessed the next morning to CID, and yet, she had to see his face everyday!!! Sophie sought help with different counselors, etc. but was onlly told she must be BIPOLAR OR BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER!!! The Army told me she died of a self-inflicted gunshot, but the investigation is back open, after it was closed 4/11/12, with a huge dog and pony show!!! I guess as a Mom without any answers–help me find…'what was the trigger that made her pull the trigger' 'or Who pulled the trigger'? Thank you so much! suzie champoux
after work me and sophie talked everyday on the phone. we would leave the bas and she would just vent about the day.
People forget about all the women and children raped by the US military here and around the world. The media stays quiet but there are daily stories and we ignore it. There are wives and girlfriends affected by this as well and the military fake PTSD.
There are congressional members helping them cover up rape.

Silenced No More !!!
Twenty six years ago during my AIT training in Oct. 1986 I was stationed at Fort Eustis, VA and we had an acting 1st Sgt. because the current 1st Sgt. was being held on rape charges. The acting 1st Sgt. called me into his office after formation one evening and told me that I was to report to room # (Turned out it was a dorm room being used as a storage room that had a bunk set up in it.)When I opened the door, the light was off and as I reached for the light switch I was pulled by my arm into the room.
A hand was placed over my mouth and I heard the acting 1st Sgt. say that he loved my accent and we were going to become very good friends and as long as I went along with it, I wouldn't have any trouble, but if I didn't he could make my life hell and that he would see to it that my husband and I never served at the same base. Being new to the Army, I had no idea that he didn't have this type of power!
The only person I ever told was my husband, who was also in AIT training at Fort Sam Houston. I wanted to report him, but my husband said not to say anything because the acting 1st Sgt. could ruin our Army careers. I did not report him, and let the rapes continue suffering in silence. I began to hate myself, my husband, and the Army. I called my uncle who was a Sgt. Major at the time serving in Korea and told him that I had a friend who this was happening to and what should she do, he told me to tell her to report it.
I wished I would have listened to my uncle,but being away from your family and in another state for the first time in your life and being in an institution where you are taught to obey and not challenge, I remained silent.My entire life has been affected by what that acting 1st Sgt. did to me (and I am sure to others before and after me).
I had a flash back in 1999 when a male coworker, a helicopter pilot with DEA who resembled that acting 1st Sgt. reached across me to check my seat belt harness and brushed against my breast (On accident). I had a major panic attack that led to a meltdown and attempted suicide. I still suffer from depression, nightmares, low self-esteem, distrust, lack of affection and emotional detachment even to my own children and my boyfriend of 14 years. I will not ever remarry because of what happened to me!!! Because of my husbands betrayal!! I have no close friends because I trust no one. There are weeks at a time that I won't leave my house. I am locked inside a living hell in my own mind.
As of yesterday, I have finally contacted Fort Eustis CID division and filed a report. They have put me in contact with the CID division at Fort Hood as I reside in Texas (Born and raised in Texas). The Fort Hood CID come to my home and took my formal statement.
I am going to get justice not only for myself but for all the other before and after me.
I came across a report in People Magazine from May 5,1997, Vol. 47, No.17 about a special committee in 1981 who investigated sexual assaults at Fort Eustis. Major Ned Marrs, who headed this committee had three female Journalist interview female soldiers stationed at Fort Eustis, VA.
The article reads as follows:
"Retired Maj. Ned Marrs felt a twinge of concern when his daughter Keely, 20, decided to join the Army in November 1991. A decade earlier (1981), Marrs had formulated one of the first official Army policies banning sexual harassment at Fort Eustis, Va., after female journalists under his command in the public affairs office interviewed women on the base. "They recorded horrifying stories of rape, verbal harassment and physical sexual touching," says Marrs ."
Why didn't the Army take measures to protect its female and male soldiers from being victims? I was willing to give my life for my Country and in return my Country has taken my soul and sanity. My campaign of "Silenced No More" will become a National slogan because I do not intend to be Silenced any Longer !!!
Sincerely Silenced No More,
Melissa "Missy" Davis
Proud Veteran of the U.S. Army
"Liberty and Freedom are lost to those who compromise."
This is also happening in the Australian Defence Force
Thanks for this article. It's definitely a real issue that needs to be addressed. Sexual assault has gone on too long now in the military and other units.

Since I put together that tribute yesterday to Van Cliburn, some pictures have turned up of Cliburn in Buffalo.
JoAnn Falletta, the music director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, was nice enough to forward the picture up above showing Cliburn when he last performed here, in fall 2007. He played Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, his showpiece. That is Ansgarius Aylward, the BPO's Assistant Concertmaster, on the left.
Hahahaa... I remember thinking at the time how petite JoAnn looked next to Cliburn as they walked out on stage.
Here is a beautiful shot...
It is great to have a picture of yourself hugging Van Cliburn. When I was in the Van Cliburn Amateur Piano Competition, the other contestants and I were always taking pictures of each other hugging him. I will have to find where I put mine.
Here is a picture I love, from my own personal collection. It is of Cliburn playing the spinet at the Rue Franklin, accompanying our concertmaster, Michael Ludwig. There are more pictures of this memorable event on the Buzz Blog.
What an entertaining evening that was!
The memories are priceless.

Update, 4 p.m. Saturday: The body of Ira Clodfelter was recovered by King County Search and Rescue on Saturday morning. Click here for an updated story.
The search for Ira Clodfelter of Redmond has been called off after another full day of exhaustive searching by over 60 trained search and rescue volunteers, Redmond police said Thursday afternoon.
Clodfelter was last heard from by a friend Sunday, Feb. 3. When he failed to show up for work at Eddie Bauer on Monday his employers called police. Clodfelter's vehicle was located by park rangers Tuesday night near Rattlesnake Mountain in North Bend.
The immediate sources and resources available to investigators have been exhausted and haven't yielded clues to his whereabouts, police said. Detectives searched computer forensics and other sources while over 60 search and rescue personnel from King, Lewis, Pierce, Snohomish, and Thurston Counties sifted the area around the trail the last two days.
Redmond Police spokesman Jim Bove said as far as they could tell, Clodfelter intended to go on a hike Sunday and had purchased granola bars and a GPS device the day before he went hiking. However, the clothing Clodfelter wore, jeans and a sweatshirt, could indicate he wasn't an experienced hiker, Bove added.
The Redmond Police Investigations Unit will continue to investigate the missing person case until all efforts are exhausted. The search and rescue effort will stop, unless new information is found that can give authorities an idea of Clodfelter's whereabouts, Bove said.
Clodfelter is a white male, 28 years old, 5'4", 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is last known to be wearing a blue zip-up hooded sweatshirt, blue jean pants, and hiking boots.
If you believe you have seen Ira Clodfelter or have information regarding his disappearance please contact the Redmond Police Department at (425) 556-2500.

Jelly Myth and
Scientists call the adult form of jellies "medusae",
after the mythological Medusa, a dangerous snake-haired woman
who could paralyze humans on sight, changing them into stone.
Perhaps more to the point, jellies belong to the phylum Cnidaria
(nigh-dahr-ee-uh), which means "stinging thread."
Some cultures around the world call jellies "living water"-
the Portuguese call them aguas vivas and in Brazil, they're
agua viva. Known to have existed 650 million years ago, they
lived on Earth even before the first sharks.
The King of Sting
Jellyfish tentacles are studded with stinging cells that behave
like tiny harpoons armed with toxic chemicals. This stinging
ability makes the jelly an efficient predator and helps protect
it against animals that want to eat its soft body. Jellies don't
sting people on purpose. It's just that when the tentacles brush
against something, thousands of the cells explode, launching
barbs into the victim. Of the estimated 2,000 species of jellies,
only around 70 are known to sting humans-and many of these give
no more than an itchy rash. Some jellies can sting long after
they're dead-a good reason for leaving dead jellies alone. In
one of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, a lion's mane jelly is
the killer.
Jellies dine as they drift, spreading a live-wire net of tentacles.
They catch and eat smaller plankton, larval fish, invertebrates,
small shrimp and even other jellies by using nerve cells to
help them move and react to food. The tentacles sting the food,
then the oral arms capture whatever comes in contact with the
body structure. Cilia on the tentacles may be used to direct
food toward the mouth. Food enters at the mouth, and the mouth
cavity has lubricating slime glands to help the jelly swallow
and digest food -not necessarily in that order. Digestion also
begins outside the body when the jelly secretes enzymes onto
the prey, then sweeps the partially digested food particles
into its mouth. When food is in short supply, jellies have the
unusual ability to shrink in size, thus requiring less food.
Jellies are a treat to eat for some people. In Asian countries,
notably Japan, they're salted and dried as a snack. The texture,
reportedly, is crispy, yet elastic-like an old rubber band.
In addition to people who eat jellies, it's quite common for
jellies to become cannibalistic-to eat each other. Sea turtles,
blue rockfish and ocean sunfish find them tasty too. Under stress
(temperature shock or an attack by a predator), jellies may
lose their tentacles and mouths but then grow replacements.
Jelly Anatomy
Jellyfish-in spite of their name-are not fish, but invertebrates,
relatives of sea anemones and corals. Jellies are 97 percent
water. With no heart, no brain and no real eyes, jellyfish have
three main parts: the round umbrella-like bodies or bells which
propel the animals with a pumping or pulsating motion; tentacles
that sting and immobilize prey; and oral arms or flaps that
are used to eat their prey. With this basic equipment, jellies
manage to defend themselves from danger, make daily and seasonal
journeys, stay together and occupy all the oceans of the world.
Simple in design, fragile in build, jellies have few of the
complex features many animals use to survive.
Jellyfish reproduce asexually as well as sexually. Jellyfish
young are called larvae, and they begin life by attaching to
a solid surface and grow to resemble a tiny flower-a polyp.
In hidden caverns and under rocky ledges, polyps perform their
own kind of reproduction-not with eggs and sperm, but by cloning
themselves. First they produce identical new polyps. Then they
begin to form free-swimming jellies, a process as strange as
if a caterpillar could divide itself into dozens of butterflies.
At the Aquarium, aquarists can "trigger" the jellies
to reproduce by changing the temperature of the water from cold
to warm or by introducing a chemical trigger. Small amounts
of iodine solution often stimulate jelly polyps to release many
new larvae. A jelly's lifespan ranges from weeks to years, depending
on the species. Some jellies at the Tennessee Aquarium are bred
here, while other species are acquired from other aquariums.
The big, the bad
and the beautiful
With its tentacles fully stretched, the Arctic lion's mane jelly
is probably the longest animal on Earth-longer than a 100-foot
blue whale! The bell of this jelly can be up to six feet across.
The smallest jellies measure only a quarter of an inch across.
The sea wasp is probably the deadliest animal in the ocean-more
dangerous to humans than any shark. People have died within
three minutes of being stung. To guard against sea wasps' potent
toxins, Australian lifeguards cover their bodies with pantyhose
when rescuing swimmers.
Going with the
In the society of the sea, jellies are drifters, riding the
ocean's currents. Aimless as it may seem, a jelly can travel
far and wide with little expense of energy. By going with the
flow, jellies end up swimming in rich drifts of food. The currents
are like a mass-transit system-so many jellies ride the seaways
that during certain times of the year, swarms of jellyfish have
been reported as oil spills off the California coast. Some jellies
travel up to 3,600 feet daily, the equivalent of a person walking
33 miles. The majority of jellies inhabit coastal waters, although
there are some deep sea dwellers.
Propelling jellies
Jellies aren't totally at the mercy of the currents; they can
also swim on their own power. Their graceful pulsing is a form
of jet propulsion-each pulse sends a stream of water jetting
out from the jelly's belly, propelling the animal in the opposite
Life-support system
Keeping jellyfish in an aquarium presents challenges to aquarists.
Because jellies are incredibly delicate-no body armor of skin,
scales or a skeletal system-a special life-support system is
necessary. Some jellies get stuck in corners and tear easily;
therefore the tanks are cylindrical or oval, with no corners.
Kreisel (German for carousel) tanks have circular currents which
act as a buffer between the jellies and the tank walls. This
current also prevents the animals from being "inhaled"
into the water treatment system.
Space jellies
In May 1991, 2,500 moon jellies blasted into space aboard Space
Shuttle Columbia. Scientists studied how their balance organs
developed in a weightless environment.
Toil and Trouble
Jellies can be damaged by air bubbles, so aquarists keep the
tanks as bubble-free as possible with quiet non-aerated flows.
Jelly "indigestion" occurs when air bubbles get under
the jelly's bell, and imbed in its tissue, interfering with
eating, respiration and eventually killing them. Bubbles don't
seem to bother baby jellies, which haven't developed the undulating
bells of the adults.
Deadly jelly look-a-likes
Jellies are a major food item for sea turtles, sea birds and
many fishes. Unfortunately, so are inedible jelly look-alikes:
bags and other plastic trash that people toss into the oceans.
Thousands of jelly eaters, including endangered sea turtles,
die each year when they swallow indigestible wads of plastic.
Global warming and the impact of waste people dump into our
oceans are growing threats that could affect the entire ocean
food web, including jellies.

The Chickasha High School girls basketball team lost its fourth-straight game Tuesday night at home against Piedmont, as it continues to struggle through its stretch of top-10 opponents.
The Lady Chicks lost 61-38 to the Lady Wildcats, and are now 4-6 on the season.
"We're a young team," Chickasha head coach Christy Edelen said. "Piedmont was in the state tournament last year, and they're rated No. 7. They've played a very tough schedule and have a very tough team. You can't let up against teams like that."
Piedmont, the No. 7 team in the state, is now 5-5, having played five games against top-five teams so far this year.
Kieley Clift was Chickasha's leading scorer with 12 points. Dominique Golightly scored 10, and Sierra Hamilton scored nine points in the game.
Piedmont was led by Hayden Priddy, who scored 16 points in the game and hit four 3-point shots.
"I thought we were attacking them hard," Edelen said. "[Priddy] came out of nowhere and just had the night of her life shooting the basketball."
Chickasha played to a 10-10 tie after one quarter. Piedmont had a 30-20 lead at halftime, but Chickasha played close in the third quarter, only getting out-scored 15-12.
"The third quarter has been our nemesis, and we made a run and got it down to six, then the wheels just fell off again," Edelen said.
A combination of turnovers by Chickasha and good shooting by Piedmont extended the lead out of the Lady Chicks' reach early in the fourth quarter.
Chickasha starting guard Alex Stewart went down less than a minute into the game with an apparent knee injury and did not return to the game.
In her absence, freshman guard Kelsi Gore and sophomore Jackie Ramos saw more minutes than normal.
"I thought our effort was good, but we just didn't adjust to them a little bit," Edelen said. "Alex getting hurt kind of messed with us a little bit, but we hung in there and came back."
Chickasha's next game is scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight in the Chickasha Tournament against the 2-8 Duncan Lady Demons
"We've got to regroup, because we have three games in a row, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in our tournament, and we would like to have a chance to compete," Edelen said.
The first-round game could be somewhat of a break for the Lady Chicks, who have spent the last four games playing some of the best teams in class 4A and 5A.
"This level of competition we've been playing night in and night out for the past however many weeks has just been tough," Edelen said. "We just have to do a good job of keeping our girls' heads up and keeping them moving in the right direction."

United Nations Crime Congresses
The United Nations congresses on crime prevention and criminal justice are one of the main periodic conferences of the United Nations and play a major role in international standard-setting and policy-making in crime prevention and criminal justice. The congresses bring together policy-makers and practitioners in the area of crime prevention and criminal justice, as well as parliamentarians, individual experts from academia, representatives from civil society and the media.
The congresses have been held every five years since 1955 in different parts of the world and have contributed to shaping international and domestic policies and promoting novel thinking and approaches to complex issues at the heart of one of the key institutions of the modern state: the criminal justice system. Since its establishment in 1992, the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice acts as the preparatory body of the congresses.

The dog that attacked and killed a member of the Bristol Kendall Fire Protection District was euthanized by Kane County authorities last week.
Lt. Pat Gengler of the Kane County Sheriff's Office confirmed the mastiff Dawn Brown and her husband took in only a week before the incident was put down by Kane County Animal Control over Thanksgiving. Brown, a 44-year-old firefighter/ paramedic for Bristol Kendall and the Big Rock Fire Protection District, died earlier this month from injuries sustained in an attack by the dog.
Gengler said the six-year-old animal was put down at the request of Brown's husband, not from a court order.
Two other dogs owned by the Browns, a boxer and a pit bull mixed breed, were returned to the care of Brown's husband. Gengler said the other dogs were not involved in the attack.
"We held onto those dogs a little longer than normal, but that was primarily to give Mr. Brown some extra time to get himself ready to take them back in," Gengler said.
Lt. David Denison of the Big Rock Fire Protection District told Patch the Brown's took the mastiff in after the animal's former owners had a baby and did not know how the dog would react to a newborn.
Brown, of Big Rock, died Nov. 12. She had been with Bristol Kendall since June of 2007.

David Coursey, Contributor
I write about technology and people, trying to get along.
Crystal Cox, the self-described "investigative blogger" will not get a new trial and previously unreported facts in the case — revealed by the judge — suggest her claim of journalistic protection was undeserved.
Cox has been ordered to pay a financial company $2.5 million for a single blog posting in which she accused it of tax fraud.
Co-founder Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group sued Cox for defamation in January 2011. Obsidian claimed Cox accused it of corruption, tax fraud and money laundering, on the website ObsidianFinanceSucks.com. The trial, however, centered on a single BankruptcyCorruption.com blog post.
Last November, a a jury found Cox liable for $2.5 million in damages. In January, she asked U.S. District Judge Marco Hernandez for a new trial. Many people, including myself, turned this into a free speech or an "are bloggers really journalists?" issue.
Earlier this week, Judge Hernandez denied Cox's request for a new trial, and commented on issues that were not addressed during the one-day trial in November. Here is the standout paragraph, as reported by Courthouse News:
[T]he uncontroverted evidence at trial was that after receiving a demand to stop posting what plaintiffs believed to be false and defamatory materials on several websites, including allegations that Padrick had committed tax fraud, defendant offered 'PR,' 'search engine management,' and online reputation repair services to Obsidian Finance, for a price of $2,500 per month," Hernandez wrote.
"The suggestion was that defendant offered to repair the very damage she caused for a small but tasteful monthly fee. This feature, along with the absence of other media features, led me to conclude that defendant was not media.
If that is true, anyone who supported Cox as a "member of the media" could look pretty foolish. When I read her blogs, I thought they were suspiciously over-the-top for journalism and "hinky" besides. The latter being a technical term I learned in newsrooms that describes something that doesn't seem right but you can't immediately figure out why and as a result stay away from reporting.
If what Judge Hernandez describes as true, Crystal Cox is not a journalist.
I am told that Judge Hernandez responded to a concern I expressed in my earlier blog on the case. Here's what I wrote:
I've been working as a journalist for nearly 35 of my 50+ years. Or have I? Under the rules set down by U.S. District Judge Marco A. Hernandez, perhaps I need to revise my resume. And if I do, then many other bloggers are just as out-of-business as I am.
Why? Because we may lack a Federal Judge's seven requirements to be a journalist. Most bloggers that I know — including myself — don't fully qualify.
In case involving self-described 'investigative blogger' Crystal Cox, Judge Hernandez ruled that in order to qualify for basic First Amendment protections like state shield laws, freelance journalists have to meet a rather stiff set of criteria.
According to Courthouse News, Judge Hernandez:
The judge clarified his position on the media status of bloggers, which was an issue that made this case a cause célèbre among some free-speech advocates.
"In my discussion, I did not state that a person who 'blogs' could never be considered 'media.' I also did not state that to be considered 'media,' one had to possess all or most of the characteristics I recited," Hernandez wrote.
My response? Having written things that were misinterpreted, I appreciate Judge Hernandez' clarification. In short: We're cool on this one, Your Honor.
The bigger point — and this was apparently not known previously — was the shake-down aspect of the case which, if true, violates every standard that a real journalist — regardless of medium — holds dear.
Based on what I have seen, Judge Hernandez has done real journalists a favor.
You can read the specific characteristics Judge Hernandez mentioned in the link to my original story, at left.
Hey David — That claim re: the shakedown is actually true. I reported on it previously, including a copy of the email that she sent: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2011/12/07/investment-firm-awarded-2-5-million-after-being-defamed-by-blogger/
David, did you know Stephanie Studebaker-DeYoung once called Crystal Cox an Internet Predator?
Studebaker-DeYoung wrote the following to Cox: "Really your stance on topics changes on a daily basis. You write with foul language and you write based on your own emotion and tips that have nothing to do with the truth… You have made a mess out of blogging."
The Internet Archive has a copy of Studebaker-DeYoung's complete claim. To view her claim:
1. Go to http://archive.org/web/web.php
2. Enter in The Wayback Machine www.summit1031bkjustice.com and then click on Take Me Back
3. Go to the year 2010 and click on the link from September 22, 2010 . Find Studebaker-DeYoung's claim within the posts in the page and written on August 25, 2010.
Please note Studebaker-DeYoung was Cox's main source of information in her attacks against Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance.
Hey David,
Generally speaking I say no they are not journalists but let's take into account that some people straight out of college have little choice but to freelance instead of taking a staff job right away.
I write for examiner.com and my topic is the Cleveland Gladiators Arena Football team.
Thing is, I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and Promotional Communication at Cleveland State University.
I'm sure some people will say i'm a blogger and others will say i'm a journalist since I earned a degree in it and write for the web in the hope of advancing my career and someday working as a staff writer.
Perhaps it's partially a matter of perspective.
THe sentence above that reads "Judge Hernandez ruled that in order to qualify for basic First Amendment protections like state shield laws…" shows just how little the judge understands about the First Amendment. The First Amendment was not written to protect journalists and media organizations. It was written to protect ALL citizens. Sadly, journalists have long acted as if the "freedom of the press" is a right reserved only for journalists.

The rickety Miramar Theater may be on its way to renovation thanks to a study set to figure out how damaged the building is and what historical features need saving.
The San Clemente City Council Thursday awarded a $28,000 contract to consultant Westlake Reed and Leskosky.
The firm has consulted on more than 100 historic theaters.
"It shows the city is being pro active," said Mayor Jim Evert. "I think there's a serious move to make something happen there."
Funding for the report comes from a $20,000 state grant and the city. The study will help owner Marc Spizzirri figure out what he can and can't do in his planned renovation. Even if Spizzirri's vision falls through, city officials said the study will be useful for future owners.
Spizzirri said this fall he plans to keep the theater's purpose intact.
"I can tell you I fully intend to restore the theater as a theater and save its original use," Spizzirri added.
Installing retractable seating would allow the Miramar to host local plays, school plays, bands, corporate events and other community events, Spizzirri said.
The new study will dovetail with another that has been done by the city focusing on just the structural condition of the building, officials said Thursday.

Health Department to hold special HIV testing clinic Dec. 1
The City of Kansas City, Mo. will commemorate World AIDS Day on Wednesday, Dec. 1 with a walk-in, confidential, free 20-minute HIV testing from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in a screened area of the City Health Department's atrium, 2400 Troost Ave.
"World AIDS Day is an important opportunity to raise awareness that early detection of HIV is critical to maintaining good health," said Councilman Terry Riley, 5th District, co-chair of the Kansas City Health Commission's Minority Health and Health Equity Committee. "If you are at risk, getting tested is the only way to know your status."
Free testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases is regularly available at the Health Department by appointment and through the new walk-in testing clinic on Monday through Friday. To schedule an appointment, call 816-513-6379.
"If you have had sex with more than one person since you were last tested or are in a new relationship, you really need to get tested again," said Ron Griffin, manager of the Communicable Disease Prevention and Public Health Preparedness Division. "Knowing your status is the key in preventing the spread of this disease."
For more information about the special clinic, call the Health Department, 816-513-6008.
Media inquiries about this topic should be directed to Jeff Hershberger, public information officer for the Health Department, 816-840-2548 (pager). Follow the Health Department on Facebook and Twitter, www.facebook.com/kcmohealthdept and www.twitter.com/kcmohealthdept.

U.S. Border Patrol agents prevented a methamphetamine smuggling attempt this week at the checkpoint on Interstate 15 near Temecula, officials said.
About 2:45 p.m., Monday, Border Patrol agents stopped a 39-year-old man driving a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer on northbound I-15 near the checkpoint, according to a news release.
"Agents questioned the individual and a subsequent search revealed a large purple container in the cargo area that contained 15 bundles of methamphetamine," U.S. Border Patrol Agent Scott Simon said.
The narcotics weighed 22.93 pounds and had an estimated street value of $458,600, according to Simon.
The suspected smuggler and drugs were taken into custody and turned over to the Riverside County Sheriff's Office, Simon said.
The vehicle was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol, he said.
To prevent illicit smuggling of humans, drugs, and other contraband, the U.S. Border Patrol maintains a high level of vigilance on major corridors of egress away from our nation's borders, Simon said.
To report suspicious activity to the U.S. Border Patrol, contact San Diego Sector at 951-498-9900.

Hey Donny,
That reminds me of a tower that collapsed in Kirksville, MO about 16 years ago, just about 60 miles from me.
BUT it was 2000 feet, (two thousand feet) tall. It was a new installation and technicians were replacing cross bracing, that engineers were afraid of failing. Unfortunately, 3 men died who was working on the tower, when it fell. It was an ABC affiliate and owned by KTVO-TV.
At least from what I was reading on that link your sent us, no one was hurt.
Thank God, I hate heights, because I am a chicken poop

PS: Also my home town here in Quincy, Il is one of the leaders in TV and Radio broadcasting equipment. Harris Broadcasting, (formerly Gates Radio) Glenarye, (formerly Quinton) and Broadcast Electronics. Being a Amateur Radio operator, towers and transmitters go hand in hand for me.
My son Joe is here visiting for the holidays and I showed him the tower picture. He agrees that the failure mode was unusual and the tower had other issues.
The construction of their new tower for KXUL at Monroe, LA is on break along with the rest of the university but should resume next week.
He took me to a site of a controlled demolition of a tower in Argentina that was really special. http://www.controlled-demolition.com/default.asp?reqLocId=16&reqItemId=20030314111623 This is a series of still photos, but there is a movie available... you've probably already seen it.

The Rockstar Consortium, a group backed by Apple and Microsoft, is trying to unload some of its wireless patents, according to a Bloomberg report.
It's been nearly a year since telecomm giant Nortel sold off its patent portfolio, and its buyers have been quick to turn it into a business.
The company didn't try hard enough to stop a 10-year incursion by hackers likely working from China, says a former Nortel exec cited by the Wall Street Journal.
Along with green-lighting Google's buy of Motorola, the Justice Department today OKs an Apple-Microsoft-RIM partnership deal to buy Nortel patents, and Apple's plan to acquire Novell patents.
The sale of Nortel's portfolio of 6,000 patents and patent applications may be in the bag, but the Justice Department is reportedly chatting with the buyers to find out what they intend to do with the intellectual property.
A detail in Apple's 10-Q filing shows the company staked more than half of the buy-in for Nortel's patent portfolio last month.
Judges in the U.S. and Canada approve the $4.5 billion sale of Nortel's patent collection to a consortium of companies including Apple, RIM, and Microsoft.
Consortium including Microsoft and Sony buys 6,000 patents and patent applications from the bankrupt Canadian telecom equipment maker.
The U.S. Justice Department has given Apple the go-ahead to make a bid on Nortel's trove of patents in a sale next week.
With Apple, Intel, and others now in the auction for Nortel's portfolio of wireless patents, it seems almost certain Google will have to raise its $900 million "stalking-horse bid" to prevail.

The Daily Star
---- — Thank you for your positive response to the action of the Boy Scouts of America in removing sexual preference as a criterion for youth membership. Confusion remains, of course, because a gay Scout who turns 18 and wants to give back to his troop by becoming an assistant scoutmaster will be denied. This barrier must be removed next.
In more than 20 years as a Scout leader, I have taught my Scouts the meaning behind the words of the Scout Oath and Law. When we talk about "morally straight," I explain that morality is about what you do, not who you are. Being gay does not make you immoral, but stealing or cheating do.
One of Scouting's great benefits is teaching boys the importance of being inclusive, of getting to know boys of other faiths and backgrounds, going camping with boys who are autistic or African-American, or Muslim or gay. When you need a hand on a mountain trail in the Adirondacks, it really does not matter whether that hand is gay or straight, only that it is trustworthy.
It's a shame that many associated with this great youth organization can't see beyond their own prejudices. There is nothing wrong with faith-based youth organizations, but what Scouting can offer in our society is unique.
Steven Gayle
Gayle is Scoutmaster of Troop 44 in Gilbertsville.

6 x 6 inch white glossy set up gift box with reddit Snoo branding on lid
reddit dark blue premium satin lines the box
Padded box for secure shipping and storage of glasses
Lead Free Crystal
Hand sand carve engraved - see Engraving Information tab for details of engraving process
Height - 4.5 inches
Width at bowl - ~3 inches
Weight - 6 ounces
Volume - 6 ounces to rim
These are authentic Glencairn Glasses from East Kilbride, Scotland.
The mark of authenticity is the words "The Glencairn Glass" etched on the bottom of the glass.
In the US, we ship these gift boxes via FedEx Ground and do require Direct Signature for their delivery. You or your recipient will need to sign for the package or make other arrangements for delivery with FedEx directly. If you or the recipient chooses not to sign for the package, pick it up or have a trusted person sign for the delivery and it is lost or stolen we will not replace the gift box.
If you do not see the country you wish to have the product shipped to please contact us at http://redditgifts.com/marketplace/merchant/contact/cobhthaigh-celtique/ on the merchant page and we will configure shipping for that country.
Internationally outside of the USA, we ship USPS International First Class if able to do so for weight under 4 pounds to keep the shipping costs down. Most countries do not have an insurance option for First Class, so International Shipments are not insured for damage, loss or theft. If you choose to ship with this option you do so at your own risk - product will not be replaced if broken, lost or stolen.
You or your recipient are responsible for all customs duty and taxes imposed by the country to which an item is shipped, if applicable.
We engrave the reddit alien logo, Snoo, using the deep sand carved engraving technique, NOT a surface treatment such as laser or chemical etching or screen painting. There is a difference that you can see and feel.
Sand carved engraving is the only method that provides the detail and depth of engraving and brings out a luminescence in the crystal or glass. Snoo literally glows. Laser, chemical and screen etching create a flat, surface frosting and do not provide the clarity, sharpness of detail and brilliance that sand carved engraving provides.
Sand carved engraving is a much more time consuming and individually handmade process than other conventionally offered methods. We make a mask, tape it on the item to be engraved and individually sand blast each glass until the design is engraved into the glass.
We wash each glass so they come to you ready to use. This is our commitment to you to provide a fine product and engraving, one you will be proud to own or give.

RALEIGH — Thousands of animal lovers, aspiring veterinarians and the just plain curious on Saturday got a look inside the world of one of the nations top veterinary schools.
Animals of all sizes were on display throughout the annual open house for the N.C. State University College of Veterinary Medicine, an event which traditionally attracts 8,000 to 10,000 people. Visitors also got an up-close look at emergency veterinary medicine at the state-of-the-art Randall B. Terry, Jr. Companion Animal Veterinary Medical Center.
The citizens of North Caroline helped pay for this, said Dr. Barrett Slenning, an associate professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine. We want to show them what were doing with the taxpayers dollars.
Slennings contribution on Saturday was to show to the public a fistulated steer, an animal which has a hole cut into his stomach connecting it to the outside. Veterinarians can open the hole to reach inside the stomach to see how the steer is digesting his food.
Slenning said things such as the fistulated steer are popular attractions, in part because so few people are around farm animals now.
Karen Bledsoe of Cary brought her three young daughters to the exhibit because she said you dont often get to see the inside of an animals stomach.
Its so fascinating, she said. We love animals, and we love to see them.
The theme of this years open house, which coincided with World Veterinary Day, is the One Health concept in which the health of human, animals and the environment are tied together
Slenning, who is also leader of the colleges animal bio-security risk management group, said that with two-thirds to three-quarters of emerging diseases coming from animals, the health connection between humans and animals cant be ignored. He said that protecting the animal population can in turn protect the human population
Slennings colleagues shared lessons with visitors such as how medicine developed to help dogs can potentially be adapted to help humans and how preserving something as small as endangered freshwater mussels can improve water quality.
People dont realize how important these little critters are, said Dr. Jay Levine, professor of epidemiology and public health at the college.
Earning a spot to become a student of one of the professors wont be easy as the college was ranked third-best veterinary medicine school in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
Admissions officers gave advice to potential students such as Veronica Haynes, 13, of Durham. She was told that shed need to take a lot of science courses in high school.
In the meantime, Veronica got a potential look at her future as she watched surgeries of dogs being spayed and neutered.
Its pretty cool seeing different animals and helping them, she said.
But seeing what operations are like Saturday showed Marleigh Purgar-McDonald, 10, of Durham, that surgery isnt in her future. But she still wants to become a veterinarian.
Ive known for a long time that I want to save animals, she said.
For a more bloodless and pain-free surgery on Saturday, other open house attendees made it to the Teddy Bear clinic for free sewing up of beloved companions.
Hes better now, said Lisa Kranec, 6, of Apex, as she got her appropriately named friend Teddy back.
