New Castle News
A Neshannock Township woman has been arrested for allegedly taking narcotics from Jameson Hospital's maternity ward for her use.
New Castle police charged Toni Ann Fortuna, 41, of 216 Sunset Drive, a nurse at Jameson Hospital, following an investigation that spanned more than a year.
Initially, Jameson Hospital's director of quality management services contacted New Castle police regarding the diversion of narcotic painkillers Dilaudid and Fentanyl from a dispenser in the maternity ward of the hospital, and regarding a vial of Fentanyl that showed up in Fortuna's employee locker, according to police.
An employee who shared a locker with Fortuna had reported to the director that she had found a vial of Fentanyl in their locker and confronted Fortuna about it, and Fortuna had put it back in the dispenser, police said.
At first, Fortuna denied any knowledge of it, but later confronted the director and others concerning the matter, the director told police. She said Fortuna had admitted to removing the Fentanyl and Dilaudid from the machine for her personal use, and that she would document that she had administered some of the drugs, then wasted the rest.
On March 19, a New Castle police officer, assisted by one from Neshannock Township, questioned Fortuna at her home. She told them she had become addicted to pain medications and had begun removing the drugs from the hospital around March or April 2012.
She said the last time she actually removed the narcotics was July 16, 2012, when she took a vial of Dilaudid and documented that it was for a patient, then injected it into herself, according to police.
Fortuna is charged with one felony count of illegal acquisition or obtaining possession of controlled substances by misrepresentation.
She was arraigned by District Judge Melissa A. Amodie and released on a nonmonetary bond, pending a preliminary hearing Tuesday.
Asked Tuesday if Fortuna is still employed at Jameson Hospital, Lisa Lombardo, director of public relations, responded with an email to The News as follows:
"Jameson Health System is not able to share information in regard to details of employment. We have not been notified by the authorities of any charges relating to a health system employee."

A white man dressed in all black — that's who the Novato police are looking for as a suspect in a Thursday afternoon bank robbery.
The Westamerica Bank branch in Ignacio was robbed of an undisclosed amount at 3:51 p.m. and the suspect fled on foot, said Sgt. Mike Howard.
No one was hurt and no weapon was used, Howard said.
Officers searched but were unable to track down the man who approached a teller and demanded money at the branch, located at 300 Ignacio Blvd. a few steps west of Highway 101.
The man was white, in his 30s, about 5-foot-6 to 5-8 tall and between 160 and 180 pounds, police said. He was wearing a black sweatshirt, black cargo pants, black sunglasses, a black beanie cap and dark shoes.
Banks in the Hamilton and Ignacio area are a favorite target among thiefs, possibly because of the quick access to the highway. The Bank of Marin branch in Ignacio, the Wells Fargo at Hamilton Marketplace and the US Bank inside the Hamilton Safeway have all been robbed in the past year. The downtown Novato branch of Westamerica was robbed in June 2012.
Anyone with information about Thursday's incident is asked to call police at 897-4361 or leave a tip at 1-800-848-0101.

The University of Pennsylvania's Department of Engineering has switched (or is in the process of switching) to Google Apps.
Last September the university authorities began to carry out what is called a soft roll out of the IT systems so that students at the start of the new term this year would be able to make use of the software without any hitches.
While the roll out still has some way to go, it is expected by the end of January that all engineering and science students within the SEAS department will be hooked up to Google Apps for Education.
Interestingly, only members of staff who are also students will be able to use the system. I'm not sure when the lecturers etc. will be linked up.
Until now, all students in SEAS had to use the university department's own in-house servers to send emails and manage documents. All in all a dozen machines were involved. However, the switch to Google will take the strain away from the IT management with Google being responsible for its cloud delivery.
With Google offering a much wider range of software than anything the university can offer students and work colleagues, the switch is likely to prove popular.
Speaking with the dp.com, Helen Anderson, Information Technology Senior Director of SEAS said: "We are especially excited about having integrated mail and calendar applications."
Seemingly the Engineering and Science Department is not the first department at Penn State University to migrate to Google Apps. The School of Arts and Sciences also switched last year after receiving positive feedback from students.

One other thing: I used to go to these [law enforcement] memorials. I'd look at the sea of chiefs out there, and they all looked like admirals or generals, lots of gold braid going up their sleeves, and I'd think, "Jesus kee-riminy." When I became chief, I went to my locker and I brought my dress uniform out to Mary, my secretary, and I said, "Give this away. I'm a Los Angeles police officer. I love the uniform of the Los Angeles police officer."
If you look at chiefs now, in almost all the states and the nation, you'll see them wearing [plain] uniforms. I'm proud of many things I did and a lot of things I started, but that's one thing I'm really proud of that I've never gotten credit for.

I know, I'm always harping on the MSM and what they get wrong, but sometimes they pay more attention to their deadlines than they do to reality. Besides, Peter King is my favorite whipping boy. Check this out, from his Monday Morning Quarterback of 4.6.09:
"9. I think I don't care at all if B.J. Raji smoked pot at Boston College. I'd guess that would make him one of about 150 players of the 328 who attended the Scouting Combine who smoked pot at one time or other during their college years. I bet I'm underestimating that, really. Now, if there's some indication that Raji smokes so much pot that he couldn't get cleaned up in time for the combine, or he smokes so much that he's mentally addicted to it, that's another matter.
I applaud SI.com for breaking the story, and it deserves to be reported. But what I do not applaud is the knee-jerk reaction by some NFL front offices about it. Some front offices are way, way too hung up on vilifying guys who did the occasional doobie in college while virtually ignoring the exploits of guys who got smashed at keg parties over and over at college.
King totally misses the point. I also happen to believe that smoking a doobie every now and then isn't going to make someone a Bad Person--or even a bad player. But here's the deal, Pete: it's banned by the league. You test positive for marijuana, you get suspended. Four games, first offense. A third violation and you're gone for a year. Remember Ricky Williams, Pete? Oh, that slipped your mind...well, I guarantee you every front office that you just chided remembers Ricky very well. They don't like the idea of wasting a first-rounder on someone who might not be around when they need him. Those GMs aren't just a bunch of superannuated tightasses sitting around in their plush offices bitching about the state of today's youth--they're businessmen, with a job to do: protecting their teams' bottom lines. That's why Raji may drop in the draft.
I think King needs to let somebody read his stuff before he posts it.

The Times-Tribune
By Les Dixon / Sports Editor
Lynn Camp coach Phil Russell calls today's scrimmage against Class A regional foe Harlan a "dress rehearsal" with hopes of seeing his young Wildcats turn in a good showing before their season-opener next Friday against Powell County in the Pioneer Bowl.
Lynn Camp will square-off against the Green Dragons in two 15-minute halves with hopes of seeing his team come out with a lot of positives.
"That's what we are wanting," he said. "We know we're going to make some mistakes, but the big thing that I want to see out of my team is if the effort is there. I want to see us flying to the ball."
Even though it is his team's only scrimmage before regular season play, don't expect to see Russell and his coaching staff give away too much of what they will do on offense and defense this season.
Both teams will meet up in Week Three at Mitchell Field in regular season play.
"We don't want to show them much, and I'm sure they don't want to show us much either," Russell laughed. "We do play each other in the regular season and it's our first game against a region team. We do four or five different things on offense and you'll see a lot of that (today), but we are going to try and keep it simple.
"Don't expect us to pull out all of the tricks," he added. "We basically want to see what our kids can do. With all of the new faces we have, I know we'll make some mistakes and I want the kids to know this is just a scrimmage, so we'll see what we can learn from this."
Even though it's a scrimmage, Russell said he and his players are ready to get things going.
"We're all anxious," he admitted. "We're going to bring out our new uniforms tomorrow. We've got our white shirts, black pants, and our new black helmets ready to go."
So what does Russell expect out of a Harlan team that many consider is rebuilding after going 6-6 last season.
"I believe they are rebuilding," he said. "But I have the utmost respect of Coach (J.B.) Donahue. He gets everything he's got out of his players. He does a fantastic job with his team each and every year.
"To be honest, they are a team you can't overlook," Russell added. "He's going to have talent and he's going to have three or four athletic players that can hurt you, so we've got to be ready. When we play them, you can always expect the game is going to physical. It's going to be a good trip over there and we're going to get to play at Harlan County. It's the SEKC Grid-O-Rama, so I expect it to be a good atmosphere for everyone that comes."

Ah, opening day. Remember how excited we all were on Monday? It's BACK!
The Rainiers open their season tonight at 7 versus the hated Sacramento Rivercats. Ryan Feierabend gets the start versus Greg Smith (acquired in the Dan Haren deal).
It's a match-up of flyballers who really don't miss a ton of bats....a great test for the defense of Wlad Balentien and Jeremy Reed.
No Roy Corcoran tonight, so maybe Sean White gets a shot at closing. Or
The roster should be up at the Rainiers official site, and Jason Churchill had the roster here as well. If you're looking for a bit of info about these guys, check this out (it's poorly organized and yeah, the final roster caught me a bit off guard. sorry.). Positive Paul will be at the game taking photos, so check marinersmorsels or the fanshots section for some of those. I'll be there drinking beer, so...yay me! Any other LLers going?
Wear your Rainiers jersey with pride today, people.

The Council develops the regional comprehensive development plan that helps guide the future growth of the region. The current plan is the 2030 Regional Development Framework, adopted in 2004. The Council is laying the foundation for a new plan, called Thrive MSP 2040, to be adopted in 2014.
The Council also develops more specialized regional plans for transportation, parks, and water resources. The Council coordinates these plans with the long-range comprehensive plans of local communities, and assists communities in their planning efforts.
2030 Regional Development Framework & Thrive MSP 2040
The Council's long-range development plan - currently the Regional Development Framework - by 2014 to become Thrive MSP 2040 - sets the directions and guidelines for the region's future growth and development. Local communities are served by regional systems, planned by the Council, that provide essential services ─ transportation, wastewater collection and treatment, and recreational opportunities offered by regional parks. Local communities coordinate their comprehensive plans with the Council's regional plans to achieve efficient growth and meet the needs of their residents.
The Council periodically updates its plans for regional systems - transportation, wastewater and parks. Local governments in the metro area may need to change their own comprehensive plans to coordinate with the revised regional plans.
The Council sends each local government within the Council's jurisdiction a customized document called a "system statement" that shows how it is affected by the Council's policy plans for regional systems. System statements are intended to help communities amend, if necessary, their local comprehensive plans.
The Council provides communities with a wide range of assistance to help them plan their future. See the Council's Local Community Planning Resources.

The Jeffersonville baseball team took the first step to a third consecutive Hoosier Hills Conference Tournament championship Monday night.
The Red Devils blew a six-run lead but managed to score a run in the top of the seventh inning and defeated Class 4A No. 1 Floyd Central in the first round of the tournament, 7-6.
Jeff (13-5) will travel to the winner of Tuesday's opening-round game between Bedford North Lawrence and Madison in Wednesday's semifinals. The Highlanders (19-3) will visit the loser of the BNL-Madison game in Wednesday's consolation semis.
With the game tied at 6-6, Jeff senior Chandler Dale drew a walk from Floyd Central starter Kyle Beach to lead off the top half of the seventh.
That prompted Highlanders' head coach Casey LaDuke to pull Beach for freshman relief pitcher Chas Adams.
Adams committed a balk to move Jeff pinch-runner Jeremiah Phelps, who ran for Dale, to second base. Phelps then advanced to third on a Jared Burke groundout.
With one out, Red Devil third baseman Ian Ellis smacked an opposite-field single into right field to plate Phelps for the go-ahead run.
Jeff (13-5) had a chance to score even more runs, as it loaded the bases with still one out, but pinch runner Jacob Flispart got forced out at home plate and Drew Campbell popped out to shortstop to end the inning.
Floyd Central's Brandon Smith reached base in the bottom half with a one-out single off Dale, but Dale forced both Beach and the Highlanders' Ross Lundy to fly out to right field to end the game.
The Red Devils had their way with Beach in the top of the first, scoring six runs on six hits.
After a one-out double by Drew Ellis to left field, Dale laced an opposite-field double into the right-field corner to knock in Hayden Robb and Ellis.
Following a Burke strikeout, Ian Ellis and Josh Burke collected back-to-back RBI singles to put the Red Devils up 4-0. Then Nolan Fertig drilled a deep shot to center for a triple to plate Josh Burke to give Jeff a five-run lead.
Fertig scored a batter later when Joe Burke hit an infield single between second and third base, putting the Red Devils up 6-0.
The Highlanders got two runs in the bottom of the first. With none out and the bases loaded, Dale walked Smith to force in Floyd Central's Michael Springer from third. Beach then knocked in Highlanders' catcher Trey Fulton from third on a sacrifice fly.
The Red Devils' lead slipped to 6-3 in the bottom of the fourth when Floyd Central's Evan Jewell pulled a single to left to drive in pinch runner Dalton Drexler from third.
The Highlanders tied the game in the fifth. With the bases loaded and two out, Fulton scored on an 0-1 wild pitch. Jewell then hit a pop-up in the infield. Drew Ellis, who was playing shortstop, seemed to lose the ball in the lights as he had his arms spread out while trying to find the ball. The ball dropped behind the Red Devil shortstop, allowing both Drexler and Beach to score to deadlock the game at six.
Dale and Ian Ellis each collected two hits and two RBIs, while Fertig went 2-for-3.
Dale improved his record to 3-4. He went the distance, yielding five earned runs on 10 hits. He struck out five and walked three.
Jewell went 2-for-3 with three RBIs. Fulton went 2-for-2 with two runs scored. Colton Kimm had two hits in the loss.
Beach got the loss, giving up all seven Jeff runs (all earned) on eight hits. He fanned seven and walked six.
Jeffersonville 600 000 1—7 9 1
Floyd Central 200 130 0—6 10 1
W — Chandler Dale (3-4). L — Kyle Beach. 2B – Drew Ellis (J), Dale (J), Trey Fulton (FC), Beach (FC). 3B – Nolan Fertig (J).
Records — Jeff 13-5, Floyd Central 19-3.

Clinical Trials at Alegent Creighton Health
Alegent Health Research Center is a keystone of Alegent Health's vision to be a leader among America's best health systems. Through clinical research, physicians at Alegent Health may offer their patients innovative, emerging treatments that are not currently available elsewhere. Participants in clinical trials play an active role in their own healthcare, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available and help others by contributing to medical research.What is a Clinical Trial?A clinical trial (also clinical research) is a research study in human volunteers to answer specific health questions. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to find treatments that work in people.
Interventional trials determine whether experimental treatments or new ways of using known therapies are safe and effective under controlled environments. Observational trials address health issues in large groups of people or populations in natural settings. More about clinical trials

How is that any different than what Ras does?
I don't have any problem with leaning a poll. It can help drive a narrative. The other side certainly uses it and with great effect.
The issue here is one of fraud, not lean. If R2k was leaning further than they did, but they were doing so legitimately (e.g., using a less realistic sample pool), then I don't think there would be an issue.
Well, as I noted earlier, your allegation against R2k was that it leaned left.
But Nate Silver pointed out that the margin of error for R2k was not that great. So your argument against R2k because they were providing friendly results doesn't hold much merit -- the results just weren't that friendly. Plus R2k was a reputable pollster used by many other media outlets besides dKos.
Markos' allegation is that fraud was behind the results regardless of lean, which required intense statistical analyses to prove, and only on point #3 of 3, as Ravi notes above.
As such, Markos, Nate, and those who did the statistical analyses receive the credit. You may have been right, but for the wrong reason, which on the Internet, amounts to nothing special.
on a comment on Research 2000 polling questioned over 4 years ago
I'm not sure how that is material here?
As Nate Silver pointed out, the margin of error for R2k was not that great. So the argument that R2k was kept on for too long because they were providing friendly results doesn't hold much merit -- the results weren't that friendly.
This appears to be a case of fraud not lean.
comment on a post Senator Byrd Hospitalized over 4 years ago
Thank you for the updates and expressing my sentiments.
Do people really care if it is May or August? You may. I don't.You know what I do care about? That it is done in a safe and secure manner. That's what I care about. I find it rather frightening that you don't seem to feel the same way. The troops are leaving Iraq. You cannot argue that. They aren't going the other way. Who cares if it is May or December?
Well, I will vehemently defend Charles and Nathan. They may be vocal critics, but at least they have intellectual honesty and consistency in their criticisms.
I've been using this site mostly as a portal to some of the blogs listed on the left.
I have switched to reading Taylor Marsh as my balance. I can get my clintonista fill and talk to someone who is famous.
Well, Barack Obama wasn't President in 2008. It's sort of difficult for me to become angry that Preisdent Obama didn't do something he wanted to do before he had the power to start doing it.
The clock started on January 20, 2009, and the drawdown must proceed in an orderly manner. I'm looking at the graph of troop numbers, and low and behold, they are steadily decreasing.
What if there is a logistical problem? He said 16 months during the primary, which would be May 20, 2010. Okay, we're leaving but not gone yet. Is it really that much heartache if we will be gone soon enough? I really think people only care that we are leaving, not in a few months' delays after all these years.
And why must you throw out accusations of lying? Where did I lie?
I'm simply looking at the troop numbers and the time, and I'm aware that it isn't August 31, 2010 yet, or even December 31, 2010 yet.
comment on a post Taking on Obama within the Democratic Party over 4 years ago
The initial withdrawal date for Iraq was August 2010. The modified withdrawal date is end of 2010. Do people care? No. The important point is that we are leaving, as Obama promissed. People understand logistical delays.
The primary was settled two years ago. You lost. You need to get on with your life. It's not good for your health to hold onto bitterness like this.
Puma simply serve as amusement, as you twist yourself into all sorts of controtions complaining that Obama is too far to the right after supporting the choice that was to the right of Obama in the primary.
I have come to the conclusion that puma are ultimately motivated out of fear that someone is going to come along and reinforce the notion that Bill Clinton's Presidency was failed, that some guy is going to succeed where Bill Clinton failed. It's not that we're obots, but that you are clintonistas desperately trying to save Bill Clinton's image 10 years after he left office. If some guy comes along and passes health care, hold the house and senate, and gets reelected, then he surpasses Bill Clinton. And that's ultimately what you're afraid of. That all your Republican friends who told you that Bill Clinton never accomplished anything... were right.
Obama just overturned the Bush Era doctrine of expedited environmental permits. So Bush like, I know.
The person who ran to the right of Obama.
Last night, President Obama said he was going to make BP pay. And he did.
BP agrees to put $20 billion in an escrow account.
Oh, but Obama is all talk. He's no action. It's another speech.
The President just humiliated you.
comment on a post Presidential Address Thread over 4 years ago
...it was a mirror. People saw in it what they wanted to see. Personally, I saw some very encouraging words, and some words that were too vague for my liking.
The speech asked for thought, though. And I am amused watching the media elites tripping over themselves trying to tell people what to think immediately after Obama, in my opinion, made the subliminal case for people to think for themselves.
Because that's all your buddies on the right, Boehner, McConnel, the RNC could come up with as a response: that he's going to use this as an excuse to push energy reform. Oh, the horrors!
on a comment on Rand Paul To Break Primary Promise in KY-SEN over 4 years ago
But will the GOP welcome him back with open arms like we did to Lieberman? Would he even go back to them?
The man's been a Republican all his life. A sane one, but a Republican still.

If you can huh than you can hear
Very few people know my name and few of that few know how to spell or pronounce it.
I dress like a normal person, with my personal taste- but I don't fit a "street wear" look, or a "rapper look", or whatever else look needed to promote yourself as an "artist".
Nowadays fans look more like "rappers" then rappers do.
It's just a fashion scene.
Behind the music is a nasty business of people who care very little about principle, standards, and honesty.
Businesses sell products and services that don't work, they take advantage of rappers dreams…from the smallest form of promo to large companies like Spotify, in the end music is being pimped for all that it's got and given very little in return.
Using the art of rap to push the same tired old subject matter that seems to continue to get everyone's attention.

Sarah Palin Looking Loony on Oprah Winfrey
Why would she want Levi Johnston at her Thanksgiving dinner table?
By Bonnie Erbe, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
I've lost interest in Sarah Palin—a woman who has proven herself time and again to be not ready for prime time. But when she starts to exhibit signs of true lunacy, she gets a bit more interesting. She's done so once more in her upcoming and widely touted interview with Oprah Winfrey. My favorite part of the chat is when Palin talks about having the infamous father of her grandson, Levi Johnston, over for Thanksgiving. According to People (via MSNBC):
If Levi Johnston would like a piece of the Palin family turkey, Sarah Palin will save him a seat at her Thanksgiving table.
"It's lovely to think that he would ever even consider such a thing," the former Alaska governor, 45, tells Oprah Winfrey in an interview to air Nov. 16, the day before the publication of Palin's memoir, "Going Rogue."
"Because," she said, "he is a part of the family and you want to bring him in the fold and kind of under your wing. And he needs that, too, Oprah. I think he needs to know that he is loved and he has the most beautiful child and this can all work out for good."
Say what, Sarah? This is the guy who refused to marry her daughter, Bristol, pregnant. This is the guy who has made a career (or tried to) by telling the Palin family secrets. And they are not pretty. Just two months ago he had this to say about the ugly innards of the Palin clan:
On Sarah putting her career above her family: "Even before she was nominated [for VP] there wasn't much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn't cook, Todd doesn't cook—the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time [my ex] Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I'd barbecue chicken or steak on the grill."
On Sarah fighting with her husband, Todd, who slept in a separate room during the Republican National Convention: "There was a lot of talk of divorce in that house ... times when Sarah and Todd would mention it and sound pretty serious."
There's one huge difference between Levi Johnston and Sarah Palin: He's believable. I'd vote for him before I'd vote for her.

I posted last week about Banksy possibly stealing written material from Sean Tejaratchi in Crap Hound. Like most rumors, the truth is significantly less salacious. In fact, it sounds like this whole thing was just a big, sloppy misunderstanding.
I'm a fan of Banksy's work and was relieved to hear this. Apologies to him for any negativity our post sent your way.
You can read Sean's explanation here.Discuss

xyzzy123 says:
I'm confused. Is there a relationship between Cory Doctorow (i.e., a founder of BoingBoing and owner of craphound.com) and "Crap Hound" (apparently the title of a 'zine)? I'm assuming that it's not a coincidence, but I'm not clear about the connection.
Sean T. Crap Hound says:
Believe it or not, pure coincidence. Absolutely no connection. We came up with the name in entirely different ways around the same time, without knowing each other.
SeattlePete says:
This is a lot like the Daisy story being shit on by TAL. I don't give a shit because I like all of the parties involved.
That_Anonymous_Coward says:
I wonder if the people who said such lovely things about Banksy in the other thread will come here for their deserving dose of crow.
I enjoy much of Banksy's work, and it is refreshing to see that he/she/it (lord only knows under the monkey mask) actually did the right thing from the get go. It was only a series of events working out poorly that lead it to be lost in the post. It is nice to see Sean setting the record straight, and explaining the whole story.
Hopefully this is all settled now, and we can go back to worrying about if Snooki will be having vaginal or c-section birth. And will her uterus end up as a 3D printable design. :D

The internet means never having to say you're sorry.

Aware of this trend, I make it a point to always give a clear apology whenever I owe it to someone. When others do the same, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. :) Kinda like this post.
blueelm says:
I try to do this too. I think it's important, because in reality when I step over the line I want to recognize it as a human foible. When other people do so but admit it, it makes me feel less alone in the world… so it seems worth it to swallow pride and say I was wrong when I screw up. I've never quite understood the "never apologize" mindset.

I hold this belief that it's never too late. I've been known to apologise years after the fact- sometimes it takes that long for me to put things into context and realise that I wasn't as cool as I should have been.
And you're right, it does make one feel less alone…so many people online seem to think that they can never give up so much as an inch of their position. I'm perfectly happy to be proven wrong. It's called living and learning.

Maybe furry-curious.
Dom says:
Sometimes I think I'm alone in my dislike of Banksy. He makes millions defacing others' property and pretending to have a social conscience. I don't buy it.
Stephan says:
You are not alone and I'll just leave this here:
teapot says:
That's funny… when I lived in Japan his books were on sale everywhere. Must have been catering to the white people market amirite?
EvilTerran says:
Casual racism: always hilarious.
OgilvyTheAstronomer says:
Damn – I'm white and I like Banksy; I guess they are on to me.
teapot says:
ha – alone… that's rich. Join the line of jealous lamewads who wish they could do what Banksy does but who don't have the balls. Graffiti has been around for a long time but the only time your type cares is when someone is making money and fame from it.
I'd rather see art than advertising and since I don't give my permission for marketers to make millions by defacing public places I don't see why an artist needs to get permission either. Not to mention pissing off people like you is kinda the point.
Dom says:
"Join the line of jealous lamewads…" etc.
Insightful. Thanks for your contribution to the discussion.
teapot says:
I don't have time to copypasta examples of how every time anything about Banksy is posted on BB (and anywhere else) people make the same tired, old argument you did. If I did you would understand that your 'contribution' to the discussion is merely a generic response to Banksy – which I'd argue is less valuable than no comment at all.
Stephan says:
You seem to have enough time scolding everyone who doesnt share your opinion on this overrated "subversive" elitist. Cool down. Nobody is mad that you like him. Its just a matter of personal taste. There is no deeper meaning in anything that Banksy does. Warhol would have taken that as a compliment by the way. Thats why he is great and lasting. Banksy's art is so preachy and specific it will be one of those obscure things that people back in the naughties liked. Like Nembutal for 1950s suburban housewifes. ;-)
Cefeida says:
I don't see how his opinion is any more tired or old than your insistence that Banksy is above criticism.
Without taking anything away from Banksy's artistic tour de force, the truth is that he is not the alpha and omega of clandestine art or of social commentary. Neither is he deserving of immunity. You take offense when Dom points out that Banksy defaces public property, yet the fact that his art is displayed illegally is a crucial aspect of the work. Banksy chose to deface public property because he felt that was the best way to send his message across. Why would you deny that? He breaks the rules in a way which is, I believe, more beneficial to the world than if he acted within the confines of the law, but that doesn't change the fact that he DOES break them.
I think you are also sorely missing the point of his work if you think it's only meant to piss people off. Do you realise that by saying this, you are agreeing with Dom's opinion that Banksy only pretends to have a social conscience?
I believe he actually does have one and appreciate his ability to express it. Rabid fanboys like you don't help, though.
teapot says:
@Stephan: The best way to argue against someone is not by misrepresenting their statements – that would be called a straw man. The only person in this thread who used the word subversive was you. I don't care what anyone thinks.. I just tire of the same old trite responses from people who think they're being original (as proven by Dom's suggestion that he must be the only one who dislikes Banksy).
Then you reply to my comment with a diatribe of attacks on Banksy: "overrated" "elitist" "no deeper meaning" "preachy". As I said above I don't care what someone's opinion is.. I just care when unoriginality claims itself as originality. I also think you felt like taking a swipe at me because I completely destroyed the legitimacy of your original point.
teapot says:
@boingboing-5e751896e527c862bf67251a474b3819:disqus : Again with the straw man argument. I never said Banksy was above criticism – I just said tired criticism is tired. If someone has something original to say then go for it, but if the basis of the comment is nothing more than cookie-cutter responses that have been regurgitated endlessly I will call them on it.
he is not the alpha and omega of clandestine art
Did I claim he is?
Neither is he deserving of immunity
Did I claim he was?
Why would you deny that?
I didn't.
if you think it's only meant to piss people off
I didn't say that.
Do you realise that by saying this
Good thing I didn't say that.
Rabid fanboys like you
Awww my feewings are hurt.
Come back when you've learned to argue in a way which isn't based on you speaking for me.
Cefeida says:
Oh, please. I said your response was just as cookie-cutter, typical of a Banksy fanboy. Because it was. You made plenty of assumptions about Dom being bitter, jealous, lame, incapable of originality, afraid to speak out, and all he did was say two things:
1. that Banksy defaces public property
2. that Banksy only pretends to have a social conscience.
Only one of those things is debatable.
But you don't think this is an acceptable comment, becaaaaause….because, according to what you wrote, people who make comments like that are jealous lamewads etc.
And, sorry, you DID say, right up there, that pissing off people is kind of the point of Banksy's work. If you meant to say something else, well, you should have written something else.But if you can't own your own comments, that's not really my problem.
teapot says:
@boingboing-5e751896e527c862bf67251a474b3819:disqus : Go right ahead and continue your straw man.. None of us will notice. You selectively leave out words or phrases that would make your argument entirely incorrect. This isn't your typical site full of readers without critical thinking skills and people can see through you, you know.
all he did was say two things
Actually he said three things: "Sometimes I think I'm alone in my dislike of Banksy". I was pretty clear that I took issue with the concept of unoriginality parading as originality.
Then you misrepresent me by saying you are also sorely missing the point of his work if you think it's only meant to piss people off. I never said the point is only to piss people off. That would be you rewording my original point to make it better fit your allegation.
OgilvyTheAstronomer says:
I like graffiti when it's more than the social analogue of a dog peeing to mark its territory. Chavs tagging my gas meter can kindly die in a fire.
Wreckrob8 says:
So it is only art if the 'right' critics say so and it is marketable. Isn't Banksy also 'marking (ideological) territory'? Of course, there is always more to it than the mere marking of territory. Maybe you just need an excuse for a little class war?
OgilvyTheAstronomer says:
Pretty much, yes, and there's nothing class-warish about it. Tagging random stuff with a marker is as much "art" as smashing up a bus stop is theatre, or tweeting your bowel movements in real time is journalism. I'm pretty fucking left wing, if I say so myself, but I have no time for vandalism. Sorry if this offends you.
Antinous / Moderator says:
If you use the word 'chav', you're not left wing.
Mister44 says:
re: "I don't give my permission for marketers to make millions by defacing public places…"
Except they aren't defacing anything. They are paying to advertise in approved spots.
I like graffiti – well, good graffiti – but I'm not going to pretend that MOST of it isn't shit that makes areas look like shit and costs honest shop owners money getting rid of it.
It's worse in Europe where they deface shit hundreds of years old. I'm like "Don't you have ANY reverence for your history and culture?"
Cefeida says:
You'd think so…it's even worse when there's only a handful of buildings left intact after the wars/government changes/trigger-happy new capitalists have rolled through…and some douchebag decides those are the walls he's going to spray his stupid, illegible pseudonym on.
And then they cry about being persecuted. Somehow I've never heard of anyone complain about good graffiti on ugly concrete.
teapot says:
Somehow I've never heard of anyone complain about good graffiti on ugly concrete.
Somehow I don't think you really follow this topic.
Cefeida says:
@boingboing-b5af41b269f7d4efc530e7a95cba9750:disqus , regular citizens almost never complain about it. It's always someone up in management who lumps all grafitti into one bag.
I think you're just hung up on trying to make me look bad at this point , by responding as if I were complaning about Banksy. Who wasn't even the subject of the comment. :P Sorry you don't like me.
teapot says:
de·face tr.v. de·faced, de·fac·ing, de·fac·es 1. To mar or spoil the appearance or surface of; disfigure.
Just because someone paid to disfigure public places does not change the fact that places are made uglier by advertising.
I'm not going to pretend that MOST of it isn't shit that makes areas look like shit
Nor am I. Please respond to the words I write, not the stereotype you imagine me as.
Cefeida says:
I think Banksy's greatest flaw is his cult following. The man has a lot of genius ideas, and, like any human being, a lot of mediocre ones. But cult law decrees that anything attributed to him is pure gold, and forbids criticism.
In other words, his fans make him look like a douche.
Antinous / Moderator says:
I feel that way about the Beatles.
Cefeida says:
Lol! I haven't seen many douchey Beatles fans around recently, but I don't have much of a social life.
[disclaimer: I know all the songs by heart]
robertdee says:
You're not alone, Dom. Banksy annoys me. As Charlie Brooker says "his work looks dazzlingly clever to idiots." As for the sixth form politics, I'll buy his commitment to his embarrassingly simplistic and/or confused political messages when he stops selling Banksy:the Brand in art galleries for six figure sums.
teapot says:
Charlie Brooker… who is he? who cares? I like Banksy & I graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts which would make me a more credible art critic than some pathetic attention-seeking fool with a BA.
HahTse says:
"Bachelor of Visual Arts"…sounds legit.
teapot says:
Not sure what happened to my comment… maybe the snark-factor was too high for anti but the crux of my argument was that you're ignorant.
HahTse says:
You mean
Can't tell if trolling or just stupid.
Now that would be telling ;)
teapot says:
@HahTse:disqus - As long as you saw the snark we're cool :)
kmoser says:
So it's cool when Banksy uses other people's pop culture images in his remixes, but not cool when he includes other people's words in his remixes? Just trying to understand what I'm supposed to think.
Cefeida says:
I'd say remixed images are far more recogniseable than remixed words, especially in street art where the point is often in using well-known icons which don't really require any credits- they are already a signature of their creator. It doesn't quite draw the line between cool and not cool (not sure what does, really), but the nuance is important.
princeminski says:
I thought when I read the headline: "Great! Somebody gets accused of something and trashed by a bunch of people who dislike him, then the retraction comes out and no one sees it." But I was so very wrong. A bunch of people who don't like him jumped on and trashed him some more. Justice is served.
Cefeida says:
Where? You mean the two, maybe three people in here who said they don't like him much?

April 17, 2013
The University of Virginia Police department is investigating a bizarre crime near the medical center, where someone stole an ambulance early Wednesday morning.
Whoever took the ambulance only drove it a few hundred feet away from the emergency department and abandoned it.
Police say a crew from the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad left its ambulance around 4 a.m. Wednesday to take a patient inside the hospital. When the crew returned, the ambulance was gone.
The truck was found just a short time later at the intersection of Lee Street and Roosevelt Brown Boulevard, not far from the emergency entrance.
Police say they have "very positive" leads to follow up on and are expecting a quick resolution.
"An ambulance is not a small vehicle, and it's not a very discreet vehicle," UVa. Police Lt. Melissa Fielding said. "It could be that it wasn't a premeditated event and it just happened by opportunity and wasn't very well thought out."
It's not the first time someone took an ambulance while it was idling. In March 2011, a patient from the hospital hopped into a Greene County Rescue Squad ambulance and led police on a chase.
There is a sign at the medical center telling crews not to leave the ambulance's engine running. However, each rescue squad has different protocols and procedures to follow.
