The venerable Bronze Baby, a 95-year-old geriatric who's led an eventful life, took a headfirst dive towards ruin Wednesday at the PAC.
It could have been one of those crazy things — the University of Saskatchewan Huskies win the tunic-clad Baby for the first time in their history, invite her to a pep rally at the gym, then promptly snap off her head … or sever her from her base, or, well, let your imagination run wild.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
But Dalyce Emmerson made the recovery of her life, as teammates clapped hands over mouths — first losing control of the heavy trophy as she lugged it in front of fans, arresting the fall before its head made contact with the floor, then bowing once she'd placed it safely on a table.
"It's a good thing she's got great hands," said Huskies head coach Lisa Thomaidis, whose team won the Canadian women's basketball title on Sunday.
"It was awkward to hold, to begin with," Emmerson recounted later. "Then our coaches said they wanted me to hoist it when we got out of the tunnel. So obviously, I was already nervous coming out of there.
"She's heavier than she looks. I love holding her, but I like looking at her better."
The Baby, born in 1921, has ties to Saskatoon through Ethel Mary Cartwright, a longtime instructor at the U of S who was instrumental in the trophy's creation while working at McGill.
Sunday's 85-71 win over Ryerson forged those ties anew. It was a bit of a miracle, given the horrific state of the program when Thomaidis took it over in 1998.
Women's hoops at the U of S was the worst in the country — and had been for a couple of decades — when they hired Thomaidis as head coach. It was a black hole of a job, a coach-killer, and almost nobody wanted it.
They'd gone 34-236 over the previous 16 seasons. Pat Jackson was 4-26 at the team's helm, and Tracie McAra 6-34, and Irene Wallace 12-108, and Tracey Bowie 12-68.
After they fired Bowie, just six applicants sent in resumes. Nobody else wanted to touch the place. They sent out a second plea, and five more applied, including the 26-year-old Thomaidis, who sent something in on the last day "on a lark," as she once put it.
She'd played five years at McMaster, spent two years running up and down courts in Greece as a professional, and wanted to stay in the game.
"It's a good thing I didn't know (just how bad the program was) at the time," Thomaidis grinned Wednesday. "There were many days that I thought we were never going to get to playoffs, let alone win a Canada West championship, let alone make this next step. Naivety was a good thing to have coming here."
There weren't many wins, at first. In February 2001, an Edmonton Journal writer called the Huskies "a running joke since the '80s" and quoted Alberta head coach Trish Baker, who reacted angrily to news her team was being placed in a division with the Huskies.
"Saskatchewan considers us to be their rivals," she told the Journal. "We don't consider them to be ours. We want to get away from them."
Thomaidis clipped the article, kept it around for a while.
"I sure do remember that," she said following the pep rally. "My goodness. I'd say now, the same comments may be true — they don't want anything to do with us, because they're afraid now to play against us as often as they have to. We've really come into our own in terms of being a powerhouse in Canada West."
Thomaidis is the national-team head coach, with an eye on the upcoming Olympics. She has a national university championship after 18 years of hard slogging. The run has included plenty of pain, and joy, and frustration, and tears of all kinds.
There's the 6-foot-3 Emmerson, who played the last three seasons with a partially torn tendon in her foot. She was conference player of the year in 2014, and while still great, couldn't quite reach those levels the next two seasons.
When the Huskies played at nationals last season, she "couldn't even get out of bed without hobbling," Thomaidis recalled Wednesday. "She couldn't put any weight on that foot. She'd show up, go through warm-up, play as best she could when she had nothing left in that foot."
This year they did a better job of controlling the pain. She practised carefully, limiting her minutes, saving it for games. The tendon continued to fray — "like a rope," Emmerson explains helpfully — as it rubbed against her ankle bone.
She earned MVP honours at nationals last week; fighting through late-game pain, eyes on a Bronze Baby she would soon win, then frighten, then save.
Her career ended Sunday. The title washed the pain away.
"It doesn't really matter," she says. "I know my feet won't take this much of a beating anymore.
"(Teammate Kabree Howard) told me last year she couldn't room with me, because she couldn't watch me get out of bed. This year was better than that, but it was still a little bit of sitting on the edge of the bed and motivating myself to stand up, see what it was going to be like. But it doesn't matter. We're national champs. Adrenaline plays a huge factor, we had great trainers. Pain is pain, but we're champions. We'll take it."
"You can't help," says Thomaidis, "but think what if — if she hadn't got injured, where would she be now? She'd be going on to play pro. But you can't look backwards. You can only appreciate what she's done to be such a force on our team, and to play in that kind of pain. It would have ended a lot of careers. But she is so mentally and physically tough, and just dealt with it. I'm not sure I know anyone else who would have been able to deal with that."
So there's Thomaidis, who resurrected a program that had no business playing at the CIS level. And Emmerson, who shrugged off pain for three years because she had things to accomplish. And the many players, like Sarah Crooks, who came before and set things up. And the assistant coaches who put so much into the program, like Allison Fairbrother, whose 23-point, second-half outburst in 1998 gave Thomaidis her first win as a head coach …
This run at the Bronze Baby took so, so, so much work.
"It's the last thing on (Thomaidis's) resume," Emmerson said. "And now she's got that. We can all call ourselves national champs."

P-Town Funk Master Release
New solo album from Bruce Smith, aka Doc Brucade
11/9/2017, 10:50 a.m.
If you know your local music history, Bruce Smith, aka Doc Brucade, is etched across the decades. The Portland-born percussionist and lyricist, an original member of Pleasure, a nationally and internationally known band, has just released an amazing solo album titled "Universal Music Radio."
"I've always wanted to create an album that takes people on a musical journey through different styles, while at the same time spreads love and a positive vibe throughout," Smith said.
The journey is real. You'll be reminded of the funky sounds of Pleasure and Cameo of the 1970s and 80s, the smooth R&B sounds of Luther Vandross, Uptempo House, and Downtempo Jazz. The bonus is in the lyrics. Smith's lyrical genius adds the spice that touches your imagination.
This music will surely touch your heart. The funk is nasty, the R&B fresh, the slow jams are warm and passionate, and the jazz, with its woven African rhythms and solo work, will have you hollering out loud!
"Universal Music Radio" is available now for download on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, etc. The CD is also available for purchase at Music Millennium, 3158 E. Burnside. To hear the first single from the album, and view the video, go to docbrucade.com

oneworld is best alliance for on-time flights – for fifth year running09 gennaio 2018
oneworld® is the best alliance for on-time flights, according to FlightGlobal Incorporating FlightStats, the leading airline industry data services and solutions technology company, which today honoured oneworld with its Airline Alliance On-Time Performance Service (OPS) Award for 2017.
It is the fifth time running that oneworld has been confirmed by FlightStats as the most punctual global airline alliance – which means oneworld has retained this premier on-time status since FlightGlobal's FlightStats started tracking alliance punctuality.
This latest honour means that oneworld is now the current holder of six "best airline alliance" awards internationally – twice as many as both other global airline alliances combined.
The award is based on its analysis of 36 million flights operated by hundreds of airlines globally in the past year – which showed that oneworld members collectively maintained a more punctual operation across the 12 months than their counterparts in the other global airline groups.
FlightGlobal's FlightStats' study of the 4.6 million oneworld flights in 2017 - operated by the alliance's 13 member airlines and their 30 affiliated carriers, serving more than 1,000 destinations in 150 plus countries - showed 82.50 per cent of them departed on time, a 4 point better performance than either other global alliance.
oneworld member airlines collectively also achieved the best arrival punctuality in 2017, with 80.77 per cent of them landing on-time, a 2.5 point improvement on either competitor global alliance.
oneworld members also took top honours FlightGlobal's FlightStats' 2017 awards for individual airlines.
Iberia retained its position as the world's most punctual international airline network, with 88.97 per cent of its 159,610 network flights arriving on time – narrowly ahead of 2015's winner and 2016's runner-up Japan Airlines, with 86.09 per cent of its 289,106 flights landing on schedule.
Three other oneworld members also made it to the world's Top 10 airline network list – Qatar Airways (5th), Qantas (7th) and LATAM Airlines Brazil (10th) – giving oneworld five of the world's 10 most punctual airline network.
Looking at mainline flights only, American Airlines also featured strongly, as eighth most punctual airlines globally.
oneworld member airlines were also the most punctual in three of the five regions analysed by FlightGlobal's FlightStats – with Iberia putting in the best on-time performance among European airlines, Japan Airlines in Asia-Pacific, and Qatar Airways in Middle East and Africa.
Iberia Express, the Spanish airline's regional subsidiary, which is a oneworld affiliate member, was the world's most punctual low-cost carrier.
FlightGlobal Incorporating FlightStats says its awards are "designed to recognise the hard work of the airlines that demonstrate consistently high performance and deliver on their promise to get passengers to their destinations on-time". It curates the data from over 600 global sources, including airline direct operational data feeds, airline data via the world's largest Global Distribution Systems (GDSs), civil aviation authorities, airports, positional data feeds and other third-party aggregators. For full details, see flightstats.com
Other "best airline alliance" awards currently held by oneworld include:
- Global Traveler magazine's 2017 GT Tested Reader Survey – for the eighth year in a row.
- Business Traveller UK's 2017 Best Airline Alliance for the fifth year running.
- Business Traveler North America's 2017 Best in Business Travel Awards, for the third consecutive year.
- World Travel Awards' World's Leading Airline Alliance 2017 for the 15th year running.
- Alleanza di compagnie aeree preferita secondo Trazees per la seconda volta.
oneworld is an alliance of some of the world's leading airlines, committed to providing the highest level of service and convenience to frequent international travellers. They include American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LATAM Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian, S7 Airlines and SriLankan Airlines, and around 30 affiliates.
Facendo parte di oneworld, tali compagnie aeree:
- Serve more than a thousand airports in 150 plus countries, with more than 12,500 daily departures.
- Carry some 530 million passengers a year on a combined fleet of 3,500 aircraft.
- Generate US$ 125 billion annual revenues.
Le compagnie aeree membro di oneworld collaborano al fine di garantire costantemente un'esperienza di viaggio di livello superiore, senza interruzioni, offrendo privilegi speciali e premi per i viaggiatori frequenti, come la possibilità di guadagnare e riscattare le miglia e i punti ottenuti nell'ambito di tutta l'alleanza. Top tier cardholders (Emerald and Sapphire) enjoy access to more than 650 airport lounges and are offered extra baggage allowances. I passeggeri che viaggiano con una certa regolarità (Emerald) possono inoltre usufruire delle corsie preferenziali per l'imbarco prioritario ai controlli di sicurezza presso aeroporti selezionati.

Violence and aggression include both verbal and emotional abuse and/or threats; it also can include physical abuse. So how do you prevent workplace violence? It is important, to be able to prevent workplace violence, that you have a prevention strategy and have a clear understanding of violence and the motivation behind it.
There are three (3) types of workplace violence that is common within the workplace:
Type I: Type I incidents are those where a predator is external from the organisation and has no direct relationship with the organisation. An example would be a robbery of a bank by a chance person.
Type II: A type II incident is perpetrated by a customer of the service provided. For example, that would be a customer who comes in regularly and they physically abuse a staff member.
Type III: Type III incidents are perpetrated by a current or former staff member of the organisation. Type III incidents encompasses internal violence between staff members. For example, this could include two staff members verbally abusing each other in the tea room due to not seeing eye to eye on a topic.
Many workplaces are at risk of workplace violence and are unaware. The first step in considering how violence can affect your business is to proceed and contact us, and we can sit down with you and consider your risk and how you can prevent it from occurring. Nevertheless, being able to understand the motivators and the different levels of violence in the workplace is a starting place, as knowledge is key.

At the moment my husband and I are visiting northern Germany. I was born in this region and most of my family still lives here. In this and some of my next blog posts I'd like to show you some of my favorite places to visit.
Soltau Toy Museum
Soltau is located halfway between the cities of Hamburg and Hannover and is easy to reach by both car (take the A7, exit Soltau Ost or Soltau Süd) and train. The Toy Museum was founded in 1984 originating from a private collection. It has since grown to occupy two buildings.
Yesterday we spent the whole morning browsing through the exibits of antique toys. At first we thought we'd be through there a lot sooner and had made plans for other things but we had so much fun that we almost missed lunch. If you find yourself anywhere near here you absolutely must check it out! They have a huge collection of tin windup toys, antique dolls, model trains and so much more. There are lots of interactive activities, a coffee corner and gift shops in both buildings. The main attraction is a 2 meter high, 3 meter wide doll house aquired in 2003 at Christie's in London for €190000. Tickets are €5 for adults, €2.50 for children. The museum is open 365 days a year.
After the museum in the summer months we recommend lunch in Dolce Vita, our favorite Italian restaurant, located in a little plaza, the Burg. This is the oldest part of the town, founded in the 14th century. If the weather is nice you can sit outside. Food here is belissimo!
Lübeck's Rich History
Located in the east of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's most northern state, Lübeck's Brick Gothic architecture dates back to its time as the medieval capital of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation. The historic city center is beautifully restored and well worth a visit. In the summer the city is full of buskers and there are many cafes where you can sit outside and enjoy the beauty of this city. Recently we were here for a short visit on our way to somewhere else. That was definitely not enough, we will be back!
Experiencing Nature – Migrating Cranes in Lower Saxony
The Tister Bauernmoor is an area of raised bog on the Luneburg Heath in the county of Rotenburg Wümme. It has an area of 570 hecters and, together with several other bogs in the area, is part of 1220 hecters of protected wetlands in this region. In the autumn, thousands of cranes and geese stop here on their annual migration. They love the shallow water of the peat-exausted moorland. The Bauernmoor has easy to navigate trails and viewing platforms only a short walk from the parking area.
Every evening around dusk, thousands of cranes can be observed as they arrive to spend the night in the shallow water. It's an amazing experience as our group walks through the preserve; we hear the cranes calling to each other overhead and from time to time we can spot flying birds through the tree tops. Then we reached the lake and thousands of birds keep landing in the water, one group after another, after another. Slowly the light fades from the sky with yet more birds arriving. Finally, when it is almost dark, birds are still calling to each other, but eventually settling down to sleep, as we walk back to the car. Another special experience is to go early in the morning when they all take off on their way to the feeding grounds.
The Bauernmoor has a little train to help the elderly reach the viewing area. This of course is also a hit with kids. There is also a small cafe with washroom facilities. If you find yourself in northern Germany in October, we highly recommend a visit to this fascinating place!

Shopping with Nurul Aini
"The salesperson will gladly give you the best recommendation within your budget. They are super friendly so ask as many questions as you need. Choice Furniture have pretty much any furniture you need for your home!"
Probably one of the best purchase for us, this Makedon Mattress from @choicefurnituresg. Our bed beat the 5 star hotel we went to last week. We didn't stay the night because we miss our bed at home. Can you believe it?? (Ok la we actually missed Donut too) Thank you @choicefurnituresg. We made the right choice! ❤
Yesterday we visited @choicefurnituresg to check out the line of mattresses that they have to offer and this one really impressed me. . . . Memory foam with a superb support system. I was not disturbed at all when @malaquemahdaly came to sit on the other side of the bed. Couldn't even feel any movement & the best part is that its affordable. Great investment. . . . Besides their mattresses, @choicefurnituresg also has a wide collection of attractive sofas and other furniture. Check them out. . . . #thesyarifs #thesyarifsresides
Selma found her favourite makan spot. She's loving our new high chair from @choicefurnituresg . . . Solid base provides great support, height is adjustable and the synthetic leather seat gives that classy feel and also enables easy cleaning at the same time. . . . Shop and quote "SYARIF10" to enjoy 10% off any purchase. #thesyarifsresidence
Success does not mean being liked and accepted by everyone. There are some groups i would not want to be accepted by, out of choice. I would rather be criticised by fools than appreciated by cheats and crooks. . . . I see success as a manifestation of good luck that results from aspiration, inspiration and perspiration, generally in that sequence. . . . P/s Im sitting on Piero Sofa Set by @choicefurnituresg
If you have been following my IG stories you will know that I recently had a change of mattress & bed. Believe it or not, I have been sleeping on the same mattress for 11 years. YES. I didn't even realize it until I decided that I NEED A KING SIZE BED (because the kids are big & they always want to share the bed with us. I wake up with aching body

This was what happened during our visit to @choicefurnituresg showroom at Hillview. So many choices to choose from and definitely the best in town! We were served by Jacqueline who is very knowledgeable and served us well with her warm smile.

Sharon Stone, Untamed
Our intrepid reporter has a second encounter with the silver screen's best bad girl, and finds that although she's working and playing in Hollywood's fastest lane, the fastest thing about her is her way with a smart remark.
The late afternoon solitary drinkers in the St. James's Club bar lounge are agog. Sharon Stone, clad completely in black, slithers across the top of the baby grand while Jim, the pianist, teases out the vamp in her with his silkiest chops. "Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it," she croons huskily. "Let's do it, let's fall in love." Just moments ago, we were chatting at a table, when suddenly, Stone rose, crooked her finger for me to follow, and snaked her way over to the piano man, whispering to me on the way what everyone in the room--what everyone everywhere--is absolutely sure about: "I know how to be a movie star."
Word of Stone's impromptu performance spreads like wildfire. Waiters and club members stream in to ogle. Before I know it, she has us trading off verses, competing to see which of us knows more of Cole Porter's racier double entendres. When it's my turn, she tries to distract me from the task at hand by mentioning, "I'm a game fanatic. Did you know I was the answer on 'Jeopardy' last week?" It looks--for a second--like she might be trounced by my "Electric eels, I might add, do it, though it shocks 'em, I know," but then she shoots up a gam like a flare, cocks it atop her knee, lowers her blouse over her shoulder and growls, "Why ask if shads do it? Waiter, bring me shad roe." A balding, dumbstruck businessman mops his forehead and nearly swallows his martini olive.
Stone purrs the number to a finish, accepts her applause, and busses Jim's cheek. When a bar-tender asks whether her assistant, who's perched nearby at the bar, is her sister, Stone rasps, "No, darling, my lover." The piano man, mad for her, twinkles, "Sharon's always so up." "Good drugs," she shoots back, saluting him with her cup of decaf.
"Oh, honey," she says to me, feigning sudden exhaustion, "it's like my acting teacher tells me, 'I know it's lonely at the top, but it's so crowded at the bottom.'" She decides not to get off the piano, and suggests we continue talking over Jim's hit list of torrid torch songs. Why not? The gal who turned the simple act of parting her legs into the screen's greatest special effect since Charlton Heston parted the Red Sea is, today, in rare form. "Maybe I should play a singer," she muses in that Southern Comfort-and-raw-honey voice, adding, "I mean, these days, they'll pay me to play anything I want--they'd pay me to play Lassie."
All Hollywood does seem to be hounding her. She bagged $2.5 million plus 10 percent of the gross to act scared in Sliver, the $30 million thriller about a spooky Manhattan high-rise. Within hours, she's due to begin collecting over $3 million for acting wifely toward accident victim Richard Gere in the romantic drama Intersection. For tons more than the half-mil she got for the original, she's committed to another Basic Instinct, aside from several other Joe Eszterhas projects. And that's not even counting the $6 million-plus Dino De Laurentiis offered her to star in The Immortals, providing the script gets rewritten so that she winds up playing not Marilyn Monroe, as in the novel of the same name, but one of those countless, ahem, hypothetical '60s sex queens who bedded presidents and their senator brothers. Not to mention the intriguing romantic thriller Manhattan Ghost Story, originally tailored for Julia Roberts by Rain Man Oscar-winning screenwriter Ronald Bass. And she's turned down overtures from several studios proferring multipicture deals, including an offer from Mike Nichols to play opposite Jack Nicholson, and one from Clint Eastwood to co-star with him. Hot enough for you?
"There have been a lot of flashbulbs since I last saw you," she observes, belly-down on the Steinway, twirling her ankles in the air. She's grown so bloody famous she's forced to plaster an alias on her mailbox and her travel reservations just to minimize hassling. More later on how playing an ice pick killer has gotten her spied on, dogged, trashed, followed and nearly attacked. For now, I just ask whether she is recognized everywhere she goes.
"I'm soooooo recognizable," she laughs, "that I reported to work on my new movie one morning at 5:30--wet hair, sunglasses, in a coma--buzzed down my black-coated window and announced to the guards at the gate, 'Shaaaaron Stone,' and they said, 'No, you're not.' I went, 'Yeah, I am.' I looked in the rearview mirror and checked: 'Un-hunh, that's me.' And they're still going, 'No, you're not,' so I say, 'What the hell would I be doing here at 5:30? Do I look like the kind of girl who gets up early for fun?' and they say, 'Sharon Stone was here the other day, you look nothing like her. So, back it up!'" She throws back her head and adds, mock-evilly, "Now I've got an electric gate key all my own so I never have to talk with any of them anymore!"
I remind Stone that she was at a crossroads when we last met, which was on the occasion of an earlier Movieline cover story. Despite over a decade of such barkers as King Solomon's Mines and Action Jackson, she had been chosen by Paul Verhoeven, her Total Recall director, to partner Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct. "When I was young, all I wanted to be was a movie star," she recalls. "At a certain point, I started to grow up and really care about what I did. Once I'd studied acting with Roy London for years, I lost all the pretense about movie stars. When I got Total Recall, I realized, 'Gee, here's an opportunity. If I can get famous, I can get better parts.'" Hollywood, however, was skeptical. Sharon Stone, when Verhoeven had considered Michelle Pfeiffer, Julia Roberts and Geena Davis? Stone herself told me at the time that if Basic Instinct punked, she was going to consider job retraining. "Which I meant," she asserts now. "I thought I might go to law school. Do some writing. Maybe teach acting." Instead, Basic Instinct became a gold mine, and she wound up Hollywood's hot thang.
We leave the club now to repair to her house, where she strips herself of makeup and shoes. Settling us down into her overstuffed couch before a wall of glass offering a view of the entire San Fernando Valley, she asks her assistant to turn off the young Elvis on the crackling stereo. "The speakers are strobing like they're possessed," she complains, "and the volume switch in the bedroom still doesn't work and you know how I like the music to strobe while I'm having sex." She adds, smiling but not laughing, "One thing I find since becoming famous is that I get to torture a higher class of men than I used to. My favorite line in Paris Is Burning is when one of the drag queens says, 'I think all men are dogs, I honestly do. You know, every man starts barking sooner or later.' So, you know, in my boudoir, I keep one hand on the light switch and the other on the stereo controls. It's an E-ticket Disneyland ride, honey. Ya-hoo!"
As Stone pours us champagne and we clink glasses, a handsome, unruly hound named Jake vies for her attention by shredding an expensive pair of shoes, then, when caught, making irresistible puppy eyes at her. "I'm dog-sitting," she explains, "and learning oh, so very much about myself in the process. Namely, that I'm a cat." At this point she addresses herself to the dog. "We're doing 'movie star,' here, Jake, which means your cute 'boy stuff is not going to cut it. Do you see yourself as a big, dead pile of blond hair? Next week, you're gonna be the answer on 'Jeopardy.' You know, 'The girl who was the killer in Basic Instinct had a dog. What was his name?' Answer: Jake." Refusing to be ignored, Jake is soon exiled to the backyard.
Since Stone is Movieline's women's-issue cover woman, I point out, why don't I sound her out on a few women's issues? "Like what kind of tampons I use?" she shoots back. "I always cut straight to the vulgarity." Actually, I was wondering what she thinks about other women dogging her for resurrecting the movie image of the Barbie go-go doll. Suppressing a sneer, she observes, "I'm not very interested in that kind of energy. I let it pass. I don't take myself very seriously. I like to make people laugh. You know, it's like, if a woman can't be happy for another woman's work, they have to go work on that." Could she see her self towing a more politically correct line by lending her presence to any of Hollywood's many in-the-works movies about sexual harassment? "If they ever make a movie where a man is sexually harassed, I'm their gal," she says.
Now that she mentions it, I tell Stone that Ellen Barkin once told me how she's pulling for stone to become our female Terminator, if only so she can be the first woman whose salary bulges to Schwarzeneggerian dimensions. Is Stone ready to go head-to-head on salary with the Schwarzeneggers and Cruises of the business?
"Believe me, when people say, 'We want to pay you X-million to do this movie,' I won't be the girl who hangs back saying, 'Oh, I really don't deserve it,'" she says. "I'll be, 'Un-hunh, hand it right over.' In fact, referring to what Ellen Barkin said, I may make Pin Cushion, which isn't The Terminator, but a big action picture that has a woman's purpose to it. The script isn't completed, it has huge gaps, but it'll come about when it's ready."
What does Stone make of Hollywood's newfound fascination with lesbians? "You've certainly come to the wrong girl for details on this score, haven't you?" she volleys with a wry look. "Nevertheless, before I answer, I want details that support your theory." I first cite the upsurge in scripts in development featuring lesbian characters. "A short-lived trend," Stone predicts. "To prove it, want to go read those scripts with me? They're probably waiting for me in the next room." Then I bring up that highly publicized, in-the-works book by Julia Phillips which deals with Hollywood lesbians. "A Hollywood idiot," Stone growls, of Phillips. And how about that paean to "lipstick lesbians" that William Baldwin, her Sliver co-star, unleashed in a recent interview? "Well, he may be a lesbian," she says with a laugh.
When I encourage Stone to let fly on what she really thinks of Baldwin, who plays one of her mysterious suitors in Sliver (the other is Tom Berenger), she sighs and remarks, "I mean, Billy's 29 and seems so young. I come from Pennsylvania, where guys are just sort of regular. No bullshit. They're the guy, you're the girl. In Hollywood, it seems to me, the lines are a lot fuzzier. I like most people I've worked with in the business. My vote's out on Billy. I never really quite got his trip. He plays a character that was very weird, but I never got up to speed on his deal, like whether he was, 'I'm in character' or, 'I'm out of character,' know what I mean?" Tom Berenger, on the other hand, is, to Stone, "a complete gas, a seasoned professional. Once during rehearsal when I was moaning, 'Tom, I don't know what to do,' he said, 'You're a soldier of the cinema, march on!' He's a good, old-fashioned guy, happily married, kids. Regular, you know. I like regular."
Berenger may be the only thing regular about the movie, in which Stone plays an unshowy, troubled woman. Catherine Tramell would probably never give her a second thought. Or a second look. "I play someone fragile, damaged, vulnerable, insecure about sex," Stone says. "I have this scene where I masturbate in a bathtub. What my character doesn't know is that the whole building is wired so that there's a camera in every room in every apartment, and she's being watched. [Director] Phil Noyce was mind-bogglingly supportive, he provided a space where I could try stuff, let this kind of honest female behavior be filmed. The cameraman, Vilmos Zsigmond, told me that I reminded him of Liv Ullmann.
"Anyway, the sex scenes are very unusual because those guys let the truth of how some women feel about sex, privately and with a partner, really be seen. It didn't become an exhibitionistic sort of male fantasy of what a moment like that means to a woman. You know--" she breaks off, and demonstrates what she means by assuming a porn magazine parody of breast-rubbing, back-arching, tongue-flicking ecstasy. "I suppose something so sexually direct, yet so nonexhibitionistic, is going to unsettle people, but you know how it is with sexuality. My mom said it best when she said that the shocking thing about Basic Instinct was that people were more concerned whether or not I was homosexual than whether or not I was a psychotic killer."
Knowing that Stone waited months before committing to another movie after Basic Instinct, I ask why she chose Sliver.

Israeli leader urges U.S. to veto settlement resolution
Jerusalem — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the U.S. on Thursday to veto a draft United Nations resolution demanding a halt to Israeli settlement activities in the West Bank.
The vote, expected Thursday, provides one of the last opportunities for President Barack Obama to take a stand against Israeli settlement building after years of failed peace efforts, but doing so could re-ignite a dispute with a close ally in the waning days of his tenure.
The draft resolution, circulated by Egypt, demands Israel stop settlement activities in the Palestinian territories and declares that all existing settlements "have no legal validity" and are "a flagrant violation" of international law.
In an overnight Tweet, Netanyahu wrote: "The U.S. should veto the anti-Israel resolution at the U.N. Security Council on Thursday."
Israel has expressed concern that Obama, who has had an icy relationship with Netanyahu, will take an audacious step in his last weeks in office to revive the peace process, but U.S. officials have said he has nearly ruled out any major last-ditch effort to pressure Israel.
A Security Council resolution would be more than symbolic since it carries the weight of international law. In the past, Obama has refused to endorse anti-Israel resolutions in the council, saying the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be resolved through negotiations.
Still, the U.S. and much of the international community consider Israel's West Bank settlements illegitimate and an obstacle to peace. Netanyahu rejects such claims, blaming the failure of peace efforts on the Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel's Jewish identity.
Netanyahu and Obama have repeatedly clashed over Israel's settlement policies. But even if Obama supports Thursday's resolution, it is unclear what impact it will have. President-elect Donald Trump, who takes office in less than a month, has indicated a more sympathetic approach to Israel and appointed an ambassador who has been a supporter of the settler movement.
Nearly 600,000 Jewish settlers now live in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem, areas the Palestinians want as part of their future state, along with the Gaza Strip. Israel captured those territories in the 1967 Mideast war.
Settlement construction has thrived under Obama's watch, despite his administration's constant condemnations, a sign of the limits of U.S. influence over its close ally. Obama has struggled to revive peace talks, which last collapsed in 2014.
Frustrated by the lack of progress, Obama for more than a year had considered giving a major speech describing his vision for a future peace deal or, in a more aggressive step, supporting a U.N. resolution laying out parameters for such a deal.
Although the goal would be to impart fresh urgency to the moribund peace process, either step would have been perceived as constraining Israel's negotiating hand while strengthening the Palestinians' argument on the world stage.
The U.N. vote presents Obama with an opportunity to display his impatience with Israel, but it's not clear how he will proceed. The draft resolution's language, challenging the legality of the settlements, is likely to be unacceptable to Washington.
A yearlong wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence, which has tapered off in recent months but not halted completely, has further imperiled any peace efforts.
Earlier Thursday, the Israeli military said forces shot and killed a Palestinian who was lobbing an explosive device at troops carrying out an operation in east Jerusalem. The forces were demolishing the home of a Palestinian who carried out an October attack in Jerusalem that killed a police officer and a civilian.

Week from %()#&%)(#
I may or may not be around this week in bloggyland - this week will be insane! I'll try and check in with ya'll, but....no promises here.

Can I cram anything else into this week? no wait, don't answer this.
I also want to thank everyone for their comments on both my give-away post and the Quilt to Finish for the Fair post - this post is 136 (I said I was not paying attention) and I am going to finish the Pinwheel Quilt for the fair, and, time permitting, my Seeing Stars quilt as well. We shall see. Jessie wants her Log Cabin quilt to go in as well, so .....
4 more weeks until school starts and then things may calm down......no wait, both kids are in fall soccer........
And the photo above - that's half of a table runner that I made oh about a year ago, and my Mom confiscated it for her house. I have enough to do another one for me - maybe someday....

Metal Tiger PLC's (LON:MTR) said the approval of the first minerals management master plan by Thailand's National Minerals Management Committee (NMC) is a "significant step" in the planned flotation of its Thai joint venture.
The company in September had announced that it would delay the initial public offering (IPO) of its shares in the previously operational Song Toh and Boh Yai mines after investors called for it to be postponed to seek clarification on some aspects of the new Thai minerals act.
Metal Tiger had said it believed waiting for clarification of the first master plan would improve the valuation of the IPO, which is being delayed until the first quarter of 2018.
The master plan will now be presented to the Thai Cabinet for consideration, which is expected by the end of January.
If approved, the Thai joint venture's mining licence applications over the two silver, lead and zinc mines will be designated as mineral deposit areas (MDAs) for mining.
"As shareholders and potential investors will note from the announcement on 18 September 2017, the Master Plan and MDA status, in particular, was one of the key reasons for delaying the planned IPO," chief executive Michael McNeilly said in a Friday statement.
"Whilst Cabinet sign-off is still required, the fact that the NMC has approved the Master Plan represents a significant step in the right direction for Metal Tiger's Thai interests."
Metal Tiger has a 78% interest in the Song-Toh and Boh-Yai mines, which ceased operations in 2002 after 32 years due to low metal prices.

In the church parking lot, I was breathing deeply. I knew that going inside was something I needed to do, but I also knew that it would be hard. I had no idea just how comforting attending my first Blue Christmas service would be.
I was nervous about going. I mean, who really wants to have to deal with grief in front of them like that? So much of our culture tells us to stop crying, to be happy, that we should be over it by now, and not to show too much emotion. What if I broke down? What if I sobbed in front of others? What if my grief was so deep it was unnameable?
My father passed away in 2004, the day after Thanksgiving. Two weeks later my grandmother passed away, and a month later I married my husband and moved to the Middle East. It was a time of great turmoil in my life. I was afraid that the holidays would be hard forever because of the deaths.
But the year that I went to the Blue Christmas service, in December of 2006, I found peace and hope in the holidays once again.
After enough deep breaths, I went inside and entered a sanctuary that was beautifully decorated. The lights had all been covered with blue tissue paper, and silver stars hung from the rafters. This gave the whole place an otherworldly glow that pulled me in and made me feel protected. The ethereal decorations made me feel connected to God and made the room feel safe from the rest of the world. I was calm and allowed myself to stop forcing deep breaths. This would be a safe place to miss my Dad and to acknowledge that sometimes life is hard.
We do not grieve well as a society. We tell people to be happy, to stop crying. We tell people to stuff their feelings and not to let them show. People thought I should be happy because my Dad was living with God. I always wanted to scream back, "But I want him here with me!" Luckily, because of my training as a counselor and a seminary student in CPE, I knew that I needed to let myself grieve.
And this service, this magical, beautiful Blue Christmas Service…it allowed me to do that in a way I had not been able to do before. I was with others who were also grieving. I knew that I wasn't the only one who was sad that I had to face Thanksgiving and Christmas without my Dad once again.
I do not clearly remember all the details of the service. But here is what I do remember: There was a time when I got to share a story about my Dad. There was a time during the service when I felt connected to my Dad. My Dad is the one who taught me about church, and we worshiped together nearly every Sunday when I was at home. There was a time during the service for being still and quiet, for crying, for acknowledging the hurt and anger. And it was safe to feel all those things — even around others — because we were wrapped in the blue light.
This light helped me feel secure, wrapped in a cocoon of God's love. Inside this safe space, I could feel what I needed to feel without being judged. I could set aside the hard memories of my grief: crying in the supermarket in front of the Christmas cards from daughters to dads, being told that letting my grief show was unprofessional, and being told that because of heaven, I should just be happy.
And that made all the difference. It made the difference that inside this cocoon of blue light, I could feel how I needed to feel. I could receive the message from the church that my grief was ok. Even if my Dad is living with God, the church said it was still ok to miss him living on earth with me. Hearing this message, I felt God was with me in my pain and cradled me as I experienced it. .
I left that service feeling tired, but also relaxed. I was exhausted, but had a deeper sense of peace. It was like emerging from the sanctuary to a new world where I knew that God was with me in my pain, not to shut it up or out, but to hold me in it until things got better. This was an important part of my grief and healing process.
This other world of the Blue Christmas service helped me connect all my feelings about the holidays, God, my grandmother, and my Dad in a whole and comforting way. Even all these years later, the memories of this this service still help me make those connections.
As I think about that service now, I feel calm. I feel the love of my Dad as if he is with me and as though he'll be with me this Christmas and Thanksgiving. I somehow am reminded by the memory that God is part of all of this, too. There is a place I go to in my memory, when I think about that service, where I find acknowledgement. And that gives me what I need to let go of the pain (at least most of it) and to keep the joy, hope, and comfort.
Whatever your losses in life, whatever feelings the holidays bring up in you, I would encourage you to seek out a Blue Christmas service, at least once. Maybe it will help you, too, remember that God promises to eventually return us to new life . . . and that in the meantime, in the present pain and grief, God is with us. Even if you are not able to find a service, I encourage you to make your own space to securely acknowledge your grief during this time. And as you seek out your own healing this season, I offer you this Christmas blessing:
May God be big enough for all your losses,
May Jesus hold your hand when you need to cry, and
May the Holy Spirit lead you to places of deep hope and joy from on high. Amen.
Rev. Jessica A. Harren is the solo Pastor of Capron Lutheran Church and the editor of The Ones We Love. She would like to send her heartfelt thanks to The Rev. Laura Hall-Schorje for her amazing worship leadership talent, for putting the whole service described above and the sanctuary design together, plus being such an important part of her healing journey in life.

CHICAGO— Move over Kardashians, first-year Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck is coming to reality television in primetime.
"BEING P.J. Fleck," premieres in a four-episode series Aug. 2 on ESPNU at 8 p.m. ET, which focuses on Minnesota's off-season and will run each Wednesday. ESPN came pitched the idea to the school after being hired in January.
"First of all, they approached us. This wasn't something that we said: We're going to have a reality show; let's go find somebody to air it," Fleck said. "They approached us, which was an honor. One thing I am hired to do is bring national exposure, national attention to the University of Minnesota. And that's what we're going to do."
"I don't know what the show is going to be like. I don't know if this is going to be like the Kardashians or they're going to spin it that way or it's going to be a little bit tamer. But it will be a little interesting to see what comes out of the reality show."
Whether the show will be a success or not can be debated, but one thing Fleck has sold fans and recruits on is the "Row The Boat" mantra.
The slogan helped Western Michigan gain a national identity over the last five seasons, highlighted by a Mid-American Conference championship and a Cotton Bowl trip last season, before taking the coaching job at Minnesota.
"Going back I think it was five years ago, we brought [Row The Boat] to Western Michigan," Fleck said. "And for a university to be able to use that logo, you've got to be able to trademark it, license it, and then you also have to do it with the university's logo to use it."
Through the lowest of lows with a 1-11 mark in 2013 to the highest of highs at 13-1 in 2016, Fleck views Row The Boat as more than a cliché, but as a way of life and how to face adversity to climb to the top of the mountain.
"I think we're very lucky, we're very honored to be able to have a slogan behind our brand and our image that means way more than football; that even football fans of football can enjoy and then people who maybe aren't necessarily fans of football can still truly connect with our culture of what row the boat means," Fleck said.
In an era where social media is as relevant and key to staying hot, Fleck knows the job of being a coach in a Power Five conference is a constant sales pitch.
"I think every head football coach in America is self-promoting at some point," Fleck said. "We're all selling ourselves and showing what we're like and recruiting our cultures and developing our cultures. You're the front porch of the institution."
Expectations are sky-high for Fleck with a nine-win team inherited from last season— the most since 2003, but knows in order to become the talk of the campus, winning is a must.
"You're not the most important thing on campus, but you're the front porch of nationally what everybody sees, and you're representing a ton of people, from the faculty, to our administration, to our Board of Regents, to President Kaler, the athletic director, Mark Coyle, to our players, to our Twin Cities, to our state. You're representing so much," Fleck said.
As the front door approaches on the season, a reality television series, the Row The Boat slogan and consistent success could make for an eventful run at Minnesota, where success has come few and far between in its history.

The first Nightfall Strike in Destiny 2 is the toughest challenge that the game throws at you once you start progressing in the end game. Beating it will give you an Exotic Engram from Zavala which can ultimately start allowing you to increase your power level to get ready for the game's first Raid.
Arms Dealer is the Nightfall Strike and it's got some interesting modifiers that you'll need to be mindful of if you want to progress and beat it. First and foremost, your power level will need to be at at least 230 to even attempt the Nightfall Strike. 240 is the recommended level, but at the bare minimum it's still pretty hard to complete. We recommend trying to push into the mid 40's or 50's as you'll not only need to deal with harder enemies, but there's also a timer on the event that starts ticking down from 10 minutes once you start.
The good news is, each enemy that you beat can add time to that countdown. With more difficult enemies adding more time, fodder enemies adding about two seconds. There's also a damage modifier that constantly changes between Arc, Void, and Solar.
Using the correct weapons
The modifier for this week's strike is Prism. This means that one elemental attack will do more damage than the others in a rotation. If you don't have weapons from every energy type, use weapon mods to change the damage type of your weapon and use that weapon when it's most advantageous as it will do more damage. You'll see prompts on the screen like "Void Energy Surrounds You." This is your cue to use that type of weapon as you'll mow through enemies much quicker. With the new weapon mod system you can change these pretty quickly before starting the Strike and they'll save you a lot of time in trying to grind and find specific weapons with those properties.
Sneak on to the ship and bypass long fight
There are a handful of spots in the Strike that can be bypassed simply by running around them. One instance is when you are boarding the Cabal Ship. When you come to this area you simply run left towards the rocky terrain on the left of the screen. Some well timed jumps can have you landing in a spot where enemies cannot hit you and you'll save a bunch of time.
Use Sparrow in long running section
In some of the long hallways where you're running towards an objective, you can call for your Sparrow to shave seconds off your time. If you can use the Sparrow, use it, it'll save you time.
How to Beat Bracus Zahn
The end boss is a multi-staged event. Don't waste too much energy or ammunition fighting him in the initial stage (Prior to getting on the elevator).
Boss Fight: This Nightfall boss can be pretty tough to beat without really concentrating on using the right type of energy weapons when appropriate. For the entirety of this fight you'll want to use the proper energy weapons or special abilities to shred through the boss. Bungie is pretty stingy with the power ammunition so try and save a Special Ability and Power Ammo for this fight. If not, you simply will not have enough time to beat him as this powerful Cabal leader will spawn many minions to defend him that can overwhelm you in this race against the clock. If you can get to this final fight by around the 5 minute mark and have enough power ammunition and specials you should be able to take him down pretty quickly.

Despite super economic news, near-panicked selling drops the stock markets.
Somehow Democrats will blame Trump, – but I think they were selling off to take a quick profit, – and maybe to hire defense lawyers.

a correction was overdue – no big deal – still over 24000

Ironically, the drop was partially caused by higher wages affecting the bottom line. Still no big deal.
I find it amusing how lib-TURDs want to credit Obysmal with the meteoric rise of the DOW and simultaneously blame Trump for the OVER DUE CORRECTION. They're calling it the Trump Slump. If not for double standards, lib-TURDs wouldn't have any.

Would anyone be surprised if Soros had his fingers in this somewhere?
February 6th, 2018 - 11:20 am
Right on, MC. Smells of the business plan of a Soros-Buffett-Etc. cabal.
With the Dow up 33% since the election, why not sell and take the profit? Then watch for the smoke to settle, and at 24,000 buy back at a 25% discount.

The case was decided six to three. Justice Black delivered a concurring opinion.
I am still not persuaded that the Fourth Amendment, standing alone,
would be enough to bar the introduction into evidence against an accused
of papers and effects seized from him in violation of its commands. For
the Fourth Amendment does not itself contain any provision expressly
precluding the use of such evidence, and I am extremely doubtful that
such a provision could properly be inferred from nothing more than the
basic command against unreasonable searches and seizures. Reflection on
the problem, however, in the light of cases coming before the Court
since Wolf, has led me to conclude that when the Fourth
Amendment's ban against unreasonable searches and seizures is considered
together with the Fifth Amendment's ban against compelled
self-incrimination, a constitutional basis emerges which not only
justifies but actually requires the exclusionary rule.

"All cultures have always believed that the map they valorize is real and true and objective and transparent," Brotton, a professor of Renaissance studies at Queen Mary University of London, told me.
"All maps are always subjective.... Even today's online geospatial applications on all your mobile devices and tablets, be they produced by Google or Apple or whoever, are still to some extent subjective maps. " There are, in other words, no perfect maps—just maps that (more-or-less) perfectly capture our understanding of the world at discrete moments in time. In his new book, A History of the World in 12 Maps, Brotton masterfully catalogs the maps that tell us most about pivotal periods in human history.

By Daily Mail Reporter Published: 05:01 GMT, 20 September 2012 | Updated: 13:09 GMT, 20 September 2012 War has sadly become pretty much a constant in our lives with the on-going conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it wasn't always so as this animated video shows.

Video: 1,000 years of war in five minutes One thousand years of war are represented over a five-minute span.

Mother's Day Weekend is here,and while many of us will be treating our moms in style,are we really appreciating the sheer luck of having a good woman to nuture and guide us to adulthood? Perhaps the best way to truly cherish our mothers is by seeing what we could've been given instead. Let's look at some pop culture takes on bad motherhood and count our many blessings:
Christina Crawford's memoir on her life as Joan Crawford's daughter(and the film version) has become a dysfunctional family classic. Whatever you think of her account,you had to admit that Christina blew the lid off of the Happy Hollywood Home fantasy that many dreamed of. Gee,wouldn't be great if my mother was a movie star? Not if you had to eat raw meat on a daily basis and fear wire hangers! This SNL skit nicely highlights the whole Mommie Dearest madness:
There are quite a few moms on Heroes but the hands down winner for coldheartedness is Mother Petrelli,who makes no secret in favoring Nathan's political career over everything else,including the fate of her youngest son,Peter. Her calm and collected approach in hiding such things as Claire's true identity and in convincing Nathan into accepting the Linderman plan for destroying NYC in order to take control of the country,certainly gives the Manchurian Candidate's mother a run for her money. Here we see how well she takes the apparent death of Peter and her idea about how to handle it:
In Psycho,we saw how a boy having his mother as his best friend can lead to trouble. Stephen King one-uped that notion with his written for the big screen only family fear feast,Sleepwalkers,in which Alice Krige needed her darling boy to supply her appetite for the lifeforce of young girls and provide a little romance. Their relationship was not all one sided,as we see here where Alice has to make the nice policeman move out of her way to get to her ailing son and give a little mealtime discipline before leaving:
One of the most memorable characters in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's fractured fairytale musical was The Witch Next Door,(brilliantly first portraited by Bernedette Peters),whose idea of raising a daughter involved locking her in a tower and letting her hair grow long enough to make a ladder. Her twisted devotions and open selfishness makes her a delightfully evil person to watch but one horror of a mother. In this prolouge bit,she tells the tale of how her offspring was bought and sold to her not-so tender clutches:
John Waters' take on the celeb status of multiple murderers,Serial Mom, gives you a real good reason to mind your manners. It also gives you a good reason not to complain too much about folks who cause you slight inconviences during the day. Some moms would simply console you if your teacher gives you a bad grade,or your boyfriend is a user but Serial Mom's solution is to maim and massacre. Take a gander at this tribute to a dementedly devoted mother,set to the tune of Barry Manilow's "Daybreak":
See,now don't you feel extra special about the mom you have? Thank your lucky stars that she's not in this gruesome gallery! Happy Mother's Day to all and please share a good laugh together.

"Spokane is a great place….Things are good in Spokane."
November 20, 2011 Leave a comment
We wish it were true!
But back in the reality-based world and this last post on this blog … by the numbers, Spokane is not getting better, it continues its long downward slide.
Spokane's Economy In Easy to Read Charts
For decades, wages in Spokane have grown at half the rate of the rest of the state, falling further behind every year. Spokane wages average about 20% behind the rest of the state. Government and health care workers make close to King County wages – but everyone else here earns much less than the -20% wage differential implies.
Every year, Spokane residents fall further and further behind their counterparts in the rest of Washington and in the nation. This chart shows that Spokane per capita income was at 90% of the State's level in the 1970s, but has declined to less than 80% of the State's level by 2008 (the orange line). In 2010, average wages rose 2.7% nationwide, but rose only 2.3% in Spokane County. Stated another way, average wages rose 17% faster everywhere else while and Spokane residents' income fell relative to everyone else.
The next chart highlights the wage differential for those working in higher skilled jobs in Spokane. Education and health care, which are shown, are similar to King County. (Government wage data was not available for this specific comparison). As we move to the right into higher skilled jobs like manufacturing, finance and engineering, the wage differentials are enormous. Spokane will never attract a national or world class high skilled workforce when wages in Spokane are up to 50% less than across the state. Which is why the State and local power brokers have identified Spokane as the low wage, low skilled industry cluster for the state.
Tons more data after the break …

An unreliable source indicated that Donald "Trumporleone" Trump sexually harassed and/or assaulted his first collegiate date while he attended Fordham University in New York City.
Patty would not release her last name to assure her privacy and to protect herself from any reprisals from The Great Leader for outing him as sexual predator in college.
Rather than provide her full name, Patty did provide an image of herself when she was 19-years old, which is shown here.

While progressives issued warnings to retirees, Republican lawmakers were being denounced on Friday for celebrating a federal appeals court ruling against an Obama-era rule that required financial advisers to prioritize clients' interests over their own when providing investment advice.
In a 2-1 decision on Thursday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit vacated the so-called fiduciary rule by the Labor Department. The department said Friday that it will respect the court decision and temporarily hold off on enforcing the rule.
In response to the ruling, the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) said in a statement: "This common-sense rule has survived repeated court challenges, but special interests with deep pockets can persevere until they get the result they want. All this proves is how much conflicted advice contributes to Wall Street profits at the expense of retirement savers."
Meanwhile, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) claimed on Twitter that the decision was "good news for the economy," neglecting to mention the impact it will have on those seeking trustworthy guidance on retirement accounts and 401(k)s.
Ryan, however, was quickly shut down by independent journalist David Sirota as well as Randy "IronStache" Bryce, a Democrat who is challenging Ryan in the 2018 midterms.
The rule required Wall St executives to prioritize their clients' best interests when investing their clients' savings. The House Speaker is now celebrating that Wall St execs dont have to follow this rule & can instead prioritize their own interests when investing workers' money https://t.co/T0qU4vaFDh
— David Sirota (@davidsirota) March 16, 2018
The fiduciary rule requires retirement advisors to make recommendations in the best interests of their clients, not their own personal profit.
The @EconomicPolicy Institute estimates this will cost retirement savers $10.9 billion. https://t.co/Y1qIUMNGMX
— Randy Bryce (@IronStache) March 16, 2018
The fiduciary rule, which has been strongly supported by consumer advocates, partially took effect in June 2017, but the Trump administration delayed its full implementation until at least July 2019. Now, its future is even more uncertain.
Never Miss a Beat.

The two judges who opposed the rule on Thursday determined that the Labor Department had acted "beyond its expressly defined authority," while the sole judge who dissented asserted that the department acted "well within the confines set by Congress in implementing the challenged regulatory package."
"The court misapplied the law, deviated from the decisions of every other court to consider the rule, turned a blind eye to dramatic changes in the retirement landscape over the last 40 years, and worst of all, ignored the plight of tens of millions of Americans who lose tens of billions of dollars a year."
—Stephen W. Hall,
Better Markets
Stephen W. Hall, legal director and securities specialist for consumer advocacy group Better Markets, said the majority decision was "riddled with flaws."
"The court misapplied the law, deviated from the decisions of every other court to consider the rule, turned a blind eye to dramatic changes in the retirement landscape over the last 40 years, and worst of all, ignored the plight of tens of millions of Americans who lose tens of billions of dollars a year in lost retirement savings due to financial advisers' conflicts of interest," Hall explained.
"This decision is also a slap in the face to the dedicated and hardworking public servants at the [department] who labored for more than five years conducting rigorous analysis and outreach to all affected groups, including most prominently industry, who insisted on—and received—unprecedented access and input," Hall added, urging the department to "pursue every possible avenue for challenging the court's decision."
The Labor Department must now decide how to proceed with the case, considering that the 10th Circuit Court upheld the rule—"albeit in narrower context"—earlier this week. It may request a ruling from a full appeals court, and the fight could eventually escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Marcia S. Wagner, an employee benefits lawyer, told the New York Times she believes that "even though the Trump administration is not a strong supporter of the fiduciary rule, it will likely continue to defend the fiduciary rule against legal challenges."
Another option for protecting consumers from investors' conflicts of interest could come from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, if the Labor Departments opts to end its effort.
"The SEC has said that it will propose a fiduciary rule for retail investment advice this year," Investment News reported Thursday. "It could come out as soon as the second quarter."
