Three Waterford police officers have volunteered their time to fill shifts in Newtown this week as the western Connecticut town continues to recover from Friday's shooting.
Chief Murray Pendleton said officers responding to a request for assistance will head to Newtown tomorrow to aid the 45-member police department there.
"They have to be inundated with responsibilities associated with this type of incident," Pendleton said.
The aid won't leave Waterford shorthanded, Pendleton said, because officers are going on their own time. Other agencies, too, have volunteered officers, he said, a common occurrence when a town has an event requiring more officers.

(RNN) – If there's anyone who is the position to make the case for the SEC champion making the BCS national championship game regardless of record, it's Gary Danielson.
Danielson has broadcast SEC games for CBS since 2006, and in that time the conference has produced every national champion. Danielson is an ambassador for the SEC like no one else and his opinion on the matter is as strong as his belief in the conference's quality.
But, even so, his answer is no.
"The SEC should get the tie-breaker if they both have one loss, but I could not in good conscience jump them over an undefeated team," Danielson said Tuesday in a conference call in advance of Saturday's conference championship game between Auburn and Missouri.
Currently both versions of the Tigers are on the outside looking in with undefeated Florida State and Ohio State taking the top two spots in the BCS standings. Auburn is third and Missouri is fifth with Alabama sandwiched between them.
Should either the Seminoles or Buckeyes lose, the argument is moot as the SEC champion would almost certainly take their place, but if both stay undefeated, the argument will resurface over whether the winner deserves the bid over Ohio State, which has played a weaker schedule despite being in a BCS automatic-qualifying conference.
Danielson's broadcast partner, Verne Lundquist, avoided the topic directly, but did address comments made by Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs that the SEC champion not making the BCS title game would be "un-American."
"I think Jay was caught up in the moment," Lundquist said. "He's an advocate for his team and his conference. I don't think it would be un-American. He was passionate about a team who won a sensational football game."
As much as they love the SEC, their support lies with Ohio State.
"I believe the SEC has earned the reputation of being the best conference in college football – that's not an opinion, they've earned it," Danielson said. "But I don't believe it's a Grand Canyon (gap between other major conferences). We're not talking about Boise State or Fresno State. (Ohio State) went undefeated two years in a row and deserve to be there."
It doesn't, however, mean he thinks the Buckeyes are better.
"The only thing I know is that I don't know," Danielson said. "I've been around football a long time and watched a lot of film, and I never say publicly who I think is better because I don't know."
It's worth noting that in 2006 when a rematch between Ohio State and Michigan was a possibility instead of Florida edging the Wolverines, Danielson was supportive of Florida's bid.
While he didn't make an official statement, Lundquist did acknowledge the issue and it seemed clear the broadcast partners were on the same page.
"I am curious to see, in the aftermath of Auburn's (Iron Bowl) win, what value a one-loss team has over an undefeated one," Lundquist said.
That sentiment was prevalent during the interview with Lundquist himself having stated the Iron Bowl was tied with Jack Nicklaus winning the Masters when he was 46 years old for the best sporting event he's ever broadcast.
"The stakes were just so high," Lundquist said. "The farther I get away from it, the higher my estimation may go."
With a berth in the national championship game not on the line as in past years, the game has a different angle. There is some concern on CBS' part that the game could be an anticlimactic conclusion to the season after Auburn's dramatic finishes in wins over Georgia and Alabama – both of which were broadcast by Lundquist and Danielson.
That doesn't mean the game is any less intriguing. Both Florida State and Ohio State will play after the SEC championship game has ended, so the national championship implications won't be known until after the Georgia Dome has long since gone silent, but it doesn't mean the game won't have the same type of impact.
"This is the SEC championship. We've got a wonderful story to tell on both sides of the ball," Lundquist said. "This is a big game with a lot at stake. It could be anticlimactic if one team or the other surges out to a big lead, but I do not expect that happen."
His voice slowed and rose for emphasis in his familiar style on the words "do not."
If anything, Danielson thinks it might make for a better game. A theme early in the Iron Bowl that Danielson harped on repeatedly was Alabama having something to protect and playing tight while Auburn was the underdog and was free play fearlessly.
He pointed it out when the Alabama's receivers dropped passes, on the Tide's three missed field goals and when Alabama almost botched a punt with disastrous effects. Saturday, he expects both teams to be loose since the stakes are equal.
"Neither of these teams is ranked No. 1 and not defending their place in the national championship, so they'll be loose," Danielson said. "These two fan bases are all in on this. You get fired up to do competition. I love to broadcast games with great competition, and this will be a competitive game."

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

Post subject: Inexplicable dependencies?
I have just been updating my Debian Squeeze box and noticed that it wanted to update apache2.2-bin. I can't think of any reason why I need apache on that box, it's not used as an http server, so I go to remove it...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
apache2.2-bin gnome gnome-desktop-environment gnome-user-share libapache2-mod-dnssd
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
What?! Why on Earth is Gnome in any way dependent on Apache, or vice versa? It seems to me that it might have something to do with user sharing? But really, my Ubuntu box doesn't need Apache installed in any way.
I might point out that Debian also suggests this little list should be removed using apt-get autoremove...

The packages gnome and gnome-desktop-environment are metapackages, i.e. packages containing no code but just a list of dependencies. They are used by Debian to simplify the installation of a related group of packages. You can safely remove them with no effect on your system. I don't know why Apache is a dependency of gnome, but you can certainly uninstall it with no issues.
I'm not sure about that long autoremove list, but if you type
aptitude keep-all
it should deal with that situation.

From what I've read, I suspect Apache is needed for gnome-user-share, then this is listed by one of the metapackages. But still, I don't see why uninstalling metapackages should render the other packages as unrequired, that seems arse-about-face to me. It obviously isn't essential to do it this way as Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't.

Yes, Apache is a dependency of gnome-user-share.
Presumably the autoremove list is in effect all the dependencies of the two metapackages which are being deleted. It might be argued that Debian's apt-get is being quite smart in offering to treat the metapackages this way.
Two suggestions:
1. Install synaptic and use that for package installation and removal. Its defaults are more benign in instances like this - you can delete a metapackage without any alarms.
2. Use aptitude instead of apt-get. Squeeze was released at the time when Debian was in a bit of a changeover state, but now with Testing, aptitude has become the preferred package management utility. Its algorithms are a bit different and rather more subtle.

I'm beginning to think that this could be something to do with the way the gnome metapackages are constructed then. I use Debian Testing with KDE, so it's not directly comparable to your situation, but I can remove metapackages with none of the problems you've seen.
root@chaffinch:/home/eric# aptitude remove kde-standard

Removing kde-standard ...
As an afterthought, perhaps you might try removing the metapackages one at a time first:
aptitude remove gnome-desktop-environment
aptitude remove gnome

Indeed, I think they've got the dependencies running both ways. I'll spare you the verbose output, but if I try to remove gnome-desktop-environment, then it says it'll need to remove gnome as well, and if I remove gnome then pretty much everything else gets called too. Ho hum.
Looks like I'll be leaving Apache in place, httpd isn't running, so it's not really doing anything worse than wasting a few megabytes of disk space. Still, it's slightly annoying.

Exactly. Welcome to Debian...
I have the same issue, but with the library responsible for blacking out the screen. If you try to remove it, Gnome is pretty much Gone&NO-MorE...

I can honestly say that in well over four years of using Debian on several different systems I've never experienced this issue. I often have occasion to remove metapackages, and it works just like I mentioned above. The only explanation I have, improbable though it may sound, is that the gnome metapackages are built so as to deliver this two-way dependency issue, but the KDE metapackages aren't.

It's a deliberate feature of Gnome, designed to make uninstallation sufficiently painful that you won't even try to delete Mono when another package sneaks it in through the back door.
On a completely unrelated note, why is it called uninstallation and not outstallation?

Civil Emergency Planning provides NATO with essential civilian expertise and capabilities in the fields of terrorism preparedness and consequence management, humanitarian and disaster response and protecting critical infrastructure.
The CEPC coordinates planning in several areas, to ensure – when necessary - civil support for the Alliance 's military operations or support for national authorities in civil emergencies.
The committee has for example developed a plan for improving the civil preparedness of NATO and Partner countries against terrorist attacks. In September 2011, a team of civil experts visited Ukraine to advise on preparedness issues for the Euro 2012 football championship. The CEPC also supports the development of NATO cyber capabilities through the provision of advisory expertise and with support for training. The CEPC assists with issues related to energy security, in particular the protection of critical infrastructure, through the exchange of experience and best practice between nations. In the field of missile defence, the CEPC has addressed issues relating to the consequences of intercept for the protection of civil populations.

i've always thought p4p talk was silly and just an excuse for certain fighters to avoid others, but lately, this shit is getting ridiculous. let me put this in perspective...when a guy like floyd dominates at 130 to 135 then moves up to win straps against quality opposition in the 140, 147 and 154 weight classes...ok, i'll listen to p4p talk. when a guy like pac fights 3 of the best fighters(jmm, em, barrera) in his division a total of ten times and comes out on top...yeah, i'll listen to p4p arguments on that one too! u want to be considered p4p one of the best in boxing...prove you are the best in your division. andre ward just fought in a tournament involving all the best at 168....and when the dust settled...he was the last man standing. he has proven to be the best in his division. i don't see anyone out there that would argue otherwise.
when a guy like donaire, who i think has the potential to be something special, chooses not to acknowledge the best in his division...and hasn't really proven to be the best in his division...that's where the p4p discussion needs to end. stop!!! i think agbeko, mares, moreno and rigondeaux all have something to say on the matter. i'm not saying he has to fight all of these guys....but at least beat 1 or 2. maybe a tournament is in order for 122 as well?
what say u?

H. Brown: Goodbye to all that, we hope
In an SF Weekly piece published yesterday, it was announced that progressive political blogger and gadabout H. Brown – an "irascible" man who has attained a specific sort of fame in equal measure for his political connections, his egregious sexism, and his unfortunate alcoholism -- was leaving San Francisco. Where's he going? The article didn't see fit to mention. It's whatever. One can assume Brown's destination is that netherworld set aside for those whose behavior was enabled by the old school boy's club blinders of the San Francisco progressive movement, still worn at the dawn of the 21st century.
"Last Call For Know-It-Alls: Classic Specimen of Old-San Francisco Bon Vivantery," the article was called. It was written by a man; if a woman had written it, the title might have been closer to: "I Just Bought an Evil Eye Necklace, Don't Look at Me You Cursed Troll."
Do I sound angry? In 2008 at a DCCC, Brown inquired at top volume and in front of an ex-President of the Board of Supervisors if I was the politician's escort. When said political leader bailed on the situation, Brown interrogated me on camera about my knowledge of local politics. I wrote about it, most names omitted, for the Guardian. In the article's wake, I received thankful and supportive emails from men and women across the San Francisco political scene. On his part, Brown sent out multiple emails about me to his prodigious correspondence rolls, one in which he shared an communique from his niece calling me an "ignorant cunt," another in which he addressed an un-cc'ed me about the election night in question: "You tried to make up for your ignorance by wearing revealing clothing. I was mocking you. And rightly so."
Nearly every woman in San Francisco politics has one of these stories. When a male politician was accused of any wrong against a woman, Brown could be depended on to dig through the Internet to find evidence that the victim had been asking for it. Those unwilling to suffer him had to opt out of the hobnobbing happy hours and salons in the homes of city leaders, at which Brown was a constant presence.
Ah, old San Francisco bon vivantery. But I've said it before and I'll say it again, you don't have to care about Brown. You do have to care that this man was your Supervisor's drinking buddy, that he took Speedo-clad swims in the Bay with progressive leaders. You do have to wonder about what that did to the strength of our political movement. And you might want to wonder about the dynamics behind ubiquitous bigots who are tolerated by people who should know better.
"If comedy is indeed tragedy plus time, however, Brown will leave 'em laughing for posterity," wrote Weekly reporter Joe Eskenazi. "Friend after friend recalled anecdotes of offensive, bourbon-fueled behavior invariably culminating with Brown being instructed to "Get the fuck out, H.!" But, always, these were happy memories, if not happy occasions."
None of these friends -- "former supervisors, consultants, academics, political Svengalis, and other city luminaries" – in Eskenazi's article were women. (The writer, whose work on city issues I do appreciate, told me he did interview women, but apparently none of them said anything printworthy.)
Let's remedy that now with a few female voices. Not coincidentally, most of these bourbon-fueled memories took place in ex-Supervisor Chris Daly's since-closed Market Street progressive gathering spot, the Buck Tavern. None are happy.
"This was the first time I was introduced to H. At a benefit at the Buck Tavern I walked in and there were all these progressive journalists sitting around a table with him. He said 'you're the one with the great ass!' He started asking me if I had family members he could date. I was standing there horrified, I just didn't know what to say. I'm a mouthy lady, and even I couldn't think of anything to come back with – not just to him, but to every other progressive journalist who was sitting there listening to him who laughed! I said hi to a few people, and then I left the event."
- Laura Hahn, president of the San Francisco Women's Political Committee
"Really, I don't give much of a shit about one sad dude calling me a slut and a spy (for Newsom or Pinkerton Guards, depending on the year), but seeing some (not all) progressive men continue to put up with him was pretty demoralizing."
- Anonymous volunteer on several progressive political campaigns
"The confrontation started because I came in to wish [ex-Supervisor and then-owner of the Buck Tavern] Chris Daly a happy birthday and have a drink, and H. asked Chris 'Who the hell is she?' To which Chris said, 'She's the President of the Harvey Milk Club.' To which H began, 'You're not even gay, are you?' I replied, 'I'm queer.' 'Queer?!' he said, 'What the fuck is that? Some Shona Gochenauer shit? You're not gay. I can tell you're not gay by looking at you. She doesn't know anything about politics. Look at her -- she's clearly just a vanity president.' He said something about enjoying things because, "that ass isn't gonna last forever, sweetheart. They [the other patrons in the bar] are only standing up for you because they want to fuck you.'"
- Stephany Joy Ashley, ex-president of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club
"As a purveyor of alcohol, I found that the man was a lawbreaking mooch and a pain to deal with. As a woman, I found him pathetic, insulting, gross, or all three, depending on his mood. The first time I met him he cussed me out for an imagined slight in a way that was actually shocking -- and it takes a lot for cuss words to flummox me. For a time, I simply refused to serve him."
- Siobhann Bellinger, Buck Tavern bartender
"H. is a bully and a sexist. If you want to look at why the progressive movement is failing it's because it alienates youth, women, and people of color. Deifying somebody like him is shutting women out, the message is they aren't welcome. It's not separated from the fact that progressives are really faltering right now with no leadership and very little inspiration."
- Debra Walker, artist and longtime activist
"His behavior symbolized the running joke amongst some progressive men that women were there for their own entertainment to be mocked and harassed with no one blinking an eye. FUCK. THAT."
- Anonymous ex-City Hall aide
These women – and the progressive men who were their allies – were not laughing at the hijinx of a mouthy old man. But people were, and they will be at the party that will be held in honor of Brown's departure and attended by member's of our city's progressive elite.
Supporters say the guy's behavior was a premeditated mockery of San Francisco's political correctness, that he was an actor in the grand tradition of political theater. But if he is remembered by generations to come, it will be as the embodiment of an age-old archetype: the dude that other dudes keep around because he says the shit they can't say to people who aren't them. After all, who can control their own id?
Eskenazi compares Brown to F. Scott Fitzgerald and notwithstanding that both are writers, I'd like to posit an alternative historical precedent for Brown's passionate trolling. Remember Bobby Riggs, the proud chauvinist who taunted tennis legend Billie Jean King until she wiped the floor with him in the widely broadcast Battle of the Sexes match? Man, that guy should have been in politics.
Brown was allowed to establish through constant bullying both online and off that only men have the right to feel comfortable in our city's high-powered progressive circles. As San Francisco continues to cozy up with its new moderate identity, I hope he is remembered less for being a bon vivant and more as a sign that our once-vaunted avatars of progressivism were spending too much time pounding double shots at the Buck Tavern -- while the world changed around them.
after the pill and before women's liberation
being a progressive with courage isn't about being preciously politically correct with every self-identified victim group. But rather with doing the hard painful work of understanding the real injustices in this world and standing up against them.
And a card-playing white female with a trust fund really doesn't cut it in the grand scheme of things.
No really, thank you for standing up for all the women who've had to deal with this pint-sized jerk. As I see it, the article is not really about him (h.), but more about the progressive males who've have tolerated h. Brown's sexism because they secretly share his demeaning views of women. Oh, and the message that sends to the progressive women in SF. Well, women make up half the world and we vote, so I say it's high time we stopped supporting progressive males who have turned this town into a good old boy's club at our expense (particularly those men who hang out with and tolerate h.'s sexism). btw, just ignore the misogynists trying to put a smart woman in her place. Not worth you time.
they are just cowards.
people. There are just individuals.
@Guest - That's laudable, as far as it goes, but what happens if you're socializing with someone who repeatedly targets a particular gender in a particular, sexually-demaning way?
Even if I were the target of such satire.
For most of us, that's the LAST encounter we have with anyone if they insult us or others. I've been to a lot of progressive functions but haven't heard much insulting or derogatory language at all, but you may cross paths with different crowds. h may be leaving in part because his past actions have alienated some people, which is the way social systems usually work.
If someone gets turned off to politics or to a political group because a crude asshole who fashions himself a bon vivant shows up every so often to ruin their day, they may not have the stomach for rough and tumble big city politics. It's a very large bell curve of individuals in a city like SF and we occasionally run across people who are more than a couple standard deviations from the norm. Part of growing up is learning how to recognize unsavory people and avoiding them as much as possible. At least it's easy to avoid h after meeting him the first time since he rarely holds back, whereas with other people it might take much longer before realizing their unpleasant or unproductive nature.
not ready for prime time, or even a supporting role. Too bad she had to humiliate herself so profoundly to learn that but sometimes, as with Debra Walker too, an abject degradation is the only route to enlightenment.
Caitlin is a privileged white professional girl who is probably far better educated than h.brown, if only because of the age difference.
And yet when he playfully teases with here, she gets all coy and bitter and precious, and starts off on a whole political correctness shtick.
Your sympathies are misguided and misaligned. It's identity politics that is killing the left and you are condoning it.
and I don't mind if you give me shit back" game.
This little game is unfair and stupid because perhaps the victims of this game didn't want to play in the first place?
What class and status has to do in regards to this game is a mystery. The class obsession of progressives, even inside the movement is so weird.
All across the political spectrum you would be considered a loser.
- Matlock -
Spending years obsessing about it and then trying to disparage the guy when a warm and witty article is written about him by your sibling paper isn't one of them.
When I don't have to deal with crazy people any more it's a relief to see them gone. There's a somewhat now popular sex blogger I know that got fired from a job I had years ago, everyone was glad to see her go, including the other sex positive types. I've had urges to post on her blog about her past batty pathological lying antics, doing so would have made me the small one I felt.
This essay is a bit of stewing the pot, perhaps it is an attempt to call out progressives as enablers or just some last word type thing.
It would have been best to let dude wonder off on his own.
Still, there is no excuse for some behavior.
The issue is now why they raised it as they did instead of just doing what most people would and let it go.
revealed by this snide personal attack on h.
Attempting to turn the world upside down to be an apologist for an asshole makes you an asshole.
No one showing up to some event signed on to get abused by a stunted man child. It's odd that Brown would take out his inability to get along on co-believers, most likely any other group would dump him for good or pound him like a nail... idiots Daly and Mirkarimi still going strong though.
The various card playing of the left is wearing, it's not playing any card to say stupid comments made towards women are stupid. All across the political spectrum dumb sexist comments are looked down as stunted.
If what the author says is true about Browns comments then there is no excusing it. having read his shrieking posts here and elsewhere and having seen his shrieking youtube videos I'm inclined to believe the author.
Don't attack the messenger, people should ask themselves why they act as an apologist for their pals idiotic antics?
stupid comments to people. I've heard more dumb bitchy crap from women than I can throw a stick at and yet somehow political correctness has gotten to the point where a woman can get away with this but there is zero tolerance to a guy taking a risk and telling his truth.
Maybe the left needs to lighten up, stop taking itself so damn seriously, and try and deal with things as they are rather than how they want them to be.
Agreed, but H. Brown is a first order swine to men and women alike. To focus only on his disgusting sexism is almost doing an injustice to the whole individual. This wretched waste of human flesh had a plethora of despicable personality traits. It's a shame to put so much focus on just one.
Can't forget me, huh?
I'd like to challenge the entire Guardian staff, past and present to a debate. Me, versus all of you. The topic will be: 'The Class of 2000'. You pick the time and venue and buy the booze and smoke. We'll make it clothing optional so's George Davis will feel comfortable.
Let me close with my long-time theme song for your listening pleasure:
lemme know,
Not interested, H, goodbye
Which means I am also permanently entertained.
Thank you, Caitlin. Excellent piece.
During TimGate.
Glad you got that off your chest, Caitlin. Are you back for good, or was this just a hit and run that had been festering on your hard drive?
Almost as if she's been chewing on her humiliation for all these years.
What's she working at these days anyway?
But I think you've done a pretty effective job culling the nuance and balance -- let alone, humor -- from my original piece.
I don't think anybody's laughing, Joe, or even understanding whatever point you thought you were making with this piece.
I'm a neutral on this matter since I am on the right-wing of the political spectrum.
But I fail to see the problem with this earthy, lighthearted reflection on a quirky progressive character.
Can't we all just get along?
Does he run some sort of blog, and why does everyone care so much what he says?
SFBG, and so Steven's rearguard action here is to try and discredit a Weekly writer by some implausible accusations of political incorrectness by a woman who was fired by SFWeekly's bosses.
All while attacking a man who is almost 70.
This is a new low for SFBG.
I guess the kudos can be chalked up to corporate cross-marketing.
*lillipublicans, real or fake? Reader must decide.
It was very cutely written, but for me and many others, it was not the moment to choose subtlety.
When Brown is dead?
Not even then?
H Brown should be relegated to the dustbin of history, like Warren Hinckle, Arthur Evans, August Longo, Joefire, and various other vermin that have infested the city at one time or another.
Now all we have is humorless formulaic bots parroting out cliches of political correctness masquerading as liberal politics.
Yep, Caitlin, what's most important of all are the feelings of journalists and political activists first and foremost. Nothing else really counts.
The real life consequences of progressive decay on thousands of families are immaterial, really, when activists have their self esteem threatened by a drunk.
It had to happen eventually.
@marcos - You don't see discouragement of participation by women as an agent of progressive decay? She chose not to repeat the points in her earlier piece, but I thought that point came across very well: "Convince all the young women and other people who are not the face of power in this country that they have no place and they will find a different place, and your slate will be all the dumber for it"
deflecting any such comments, rather than sulking into a hissy fit and then spend years ruminating on the fact that some guy didn't genuflect to her hallowed femininity.
Lest you forget, Caitlin wasn't the offender here. Brown was. What Caitlin should or should not have done is irrelevant. Brown had no business being the ass that he was.
slapdown that she got?
Based on her snide piece here, she has probably done other nasty acts, and h. just gave her what she had coming.
h Brown used offensive language, he did not commit any offense. There is a distinction.
There are asses in the real world. Either accept with as fact, try to change people, but please, don't whine about it, because whining is not going to change anything.
How does Caitlin's piece concretely contribute towards changing people's conduct? My reading of it does not lead me in that direction. It seems like it is a very personal piece that meets personal needs and the personal needs of people who think like Caitlin, who think that sexist language is bad and that the most important issue to address is one of personal offense at bad language.
Jym, First, like my descent into abject cynicism, h brown descended further into the alcoholism that made him unbearable as a result of progressive decay. Both he and I laid out how they were going to fail before hand and they failed pretty much how we said they would. Along with hundreds of other San Franciscans, we volunteered tremendous hours, blood, sweat and tears, to the progressive political project only to see the professionals fuck it up and blame us for their failure.
The people who were the most offended by h brown have problems getting along outside of their narrow circles. There are 20% of women, people of color and queers who get worked up into a froth over this. Most just roll their eyes at this kind of pathetic offensive behavior and move on away from the offender. I doubt that the messaging of since h brown is a friend of progressive pols therefore whatever h brown does might as well be being done by progressive pols is very convincing.
Over the years before the final descent, he was associated politically and personally with many women who had no compunctions on calling him on his shit in real time, which he respected at the time. Hell, I've called him on his abusive sexism.
When progressive political operators put their own sense of self esteem before moving their policy agenda and play cards left and right for political advantage, they only get as much credibility as policy wins they've got racked up. When they ignore the consequential abuses and outbursts of Ammiano, Haaland, Daly, Quezada, Shaw, Olague and Mirkarimi because these people are within the progressive family yet pile on h Brown, we gotta ask qui bono, what is progressive about one standard for people with power and another standard for everyone else.
There are plenty of examples of abusive assholism on the part of the corporate political class...
So are you all going to buy a tropical island with your RNC settlement?
@marcos - RNC settlement doesn't actually defray the cost of wrist injury from being plasticuffed for hours, which hobbled my employment for the next year or so. Fortunately I had a progressive community that kept me housed during that time, which I spent working on legal defenses and offenses.
I never heard one sexist remark in that whole time, even from working-class people in their 60s and 70s. Imagine that.
And you think you get to lecture us?
There are people who have turned a blind eye to sexism among San Francisco's progressives. Joe Eskenazi isn't one of those people.
left. Brown is of a different generation that pre-dated political correctness. He told it like it is and, for anyone over 50, that was how they were raised. At nearly 70, he's not going to change and certainly because some girl can;t think of a comeback.
All you had to do was smile and then move on or change the subject. not wait years to do a half-assed hit piece.
The sad fact is that the only achievement by the left in SF have been from men. Female progressives are generally a ragbag of frumpy, chubby middle-aged bad-tempered women with no wit and lightness of being. Sad but true. And Brown called it.
You'd have been better off taking your lumps rather than making a snide attack on a man in his golden years and enjoying life. If you cannot write without coming across like a sullen bitch, then don't write at all.
And you obviously lack courage, since you won't even sign your name to that.
It doesn't matter, really. Your words and arguments are as anonymous and bland as your identity. I've seen every line up there recycled over and over again over the years. How many times do we have to see bigots and misogynists trying to ennoble their own prejudices by casting them as "political incorrectness" as if bullying and misogyny were actually blows for freedom?
FFS, if you're going to hurl invective, have the courage to sign your own name and invent your own arguments.

Bring the inspiring legend of the starfish to your Christmas tree with this delicate "Legend of the Starfish" Glass Christmas Ornament with Card. "The Legend of the Starfish" is printed on the card and reminds us that even the smallest act can have a big difference: "The Legend of the Starfish; A young boy was walking along the beach where many starfish had been washed up by the tide. The boy occasionally reached down and tossed a beached starfish back into the ocean. A man walked up to the boy and said, "I have been watching what you are doing son, do you realize how many starfish are dying on every beach each day? Do you really think, that what you are doing is going to make a difference?" The boy looked up at the man, and then he looked down at a starfish by his feet. He picked up the starfish, and as he gently tossed it back into the ocean, he said, "It makes a difference to that one." 3"L on a 4 1/2"L card.

SALEM, Mass. — Fugitive James Potenza, by his own admission, lives 7,000 miles from the county courthouse in this Boston suburb, enjoying the beaches and sunny skies of the Persian Gulf.
Potenza, 54, skipped out on a court date here one year ago on charges he embezzled $80,000 from a youth football league while serving as its trusted treasurer, withdrawing the money through an unauthorized debit card.
Authorities issued a warrant for his arrest, but his immediate whereabouts were a mystery -- until he began posting greetings and photos on Facebook, including a picture of himself atop a military tank somwhere in the United Arab Emirates.
"7,000 miles away, in the U.A.E.," Potenza said in a Nov. 8, 2012, posting on Facebook. "Just got back from the beach, 84 degrees."
Six weeks ago, in a reponse to a friend's inquiry on Facebook, he wrote that he was in "the Middle East" but didn't say where.
Michael Murphy, Potenza's attorney in the embezzlement case, said his client had been working as a contractor in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the Emirates, earning money to pay restitution to the youth football league police said he fleeced.
An old listing for Potenza on LinkedIn, a social network for professionals, said he had worked for Adverti STS, an engineering school in the Emirates, since August of 2012. There is no current posting for Potenza on LinkedIn.
Prosecutors said Potenza sold a home he owned in Massachusetts before he fled the country, and that he's possibly living off the proceeds. They said they are working with the U.S. State Department to find him and return him to face trial on the embezzlement charges.
Initially, Potenza claimed he withdrew the money from the youth league's account to pay game officials. But, prosecutors said, when negotiations broke off for his making restitution and serving probation in lieu of prison time, he took off for parts then unknown.
Details for this story were provided by The Eagle-Tribune of North Andover, Mass., and the Salem, Mass., News.

Elegant wood grain patterns that add a touch of class and character to your setup. Brown anodized aluminum pickguards that are guaranteed to turn heads in the studio or onstage. With their weathered exteriors and a look that's bona fide Americana, U.S.-made Fender special edition Rustic Ash Telecaster® and Stratocaster® guitars prove that some things do look better with time. And with 60-plus years of perfected pickup artistry under our belts, we know they sound better, too.
From the bent steel saddles and stamped brass plates on the bridges of our Rustic Ash Telecasters to the aged white plastic parts on our Rustic Ash Stratocasters, these guitars are true testaments to the Fender philosophy of blending eye-catching aesthetics with time-honored design—down to the nitty-gritty details.
But behind each classic look and contour, we've offset these ash-bodied beauts with Texas Special™ pickups for soaring sky-high output that's anything but subtle. It's the perfect counterbalance of weather-beaten look and sonic clarity—a visually stunning instrument with bark and bite.

text: Ryan Jahnke's video is nice but it's kinda PC and generic. I'd show this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdgrxZ6x6Aw Or maybe this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmf9akrRLGc Totally agree with those who are suggesting focusing on things outside of the actual skating. When I get the sideways looks like, "You travel the world for figure skating?" Ummm, okay " I'm like, are you joking? It has ... -- wonderful music to snark about ("My God is that worst cut of Bolero evah?!" "F* Swan Lake again?" "How dare she skate to East of Eden!? ") -- crazy costumes to snark about (see http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/2011/02/u-s-figure-skating-championships-men-2.html) -- big fat coaches in fur coats (any photo of Tarasova will do) -- grown men with stuffed animals (http://i.imgur.com/Ockgu.jpg) -- Russians, affairs and (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w227JiWLImM) -- a place actually called the kiss 'n cry (http://janeheller.mlblogs.com/2010/02/25/time-out-for-womens-figure-skating/ - I actually love how she compares it to the baseball dugout in a whimsical way) -- divas (http://www1.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Maurizio Margaglio Barbara Fusar Poli Olympics beZnKVheUdUl.jpg) -- politiks, eville judges, sekret judging, Speedy and skandal !!!! If you have to demo something, I don't know. You could demo "the process of judging a jump", slo mo a video that shows the preparation, flight and landing pausing the video every second or so and talk about how each point this contributes to a GOE score. Maybe show a 0 GOE double axel vs a +2 GOE double axel. (A fall vs. a good one is too obvious to be instructive.) But I've found that people are either hypnotized by the skating itself or not, especially once they see it live. It's hard to sell. I don't think it really takes practice to appreciate, most of my friends through FS fell in love instantly the way I did. So the whole point is to practice engaging an audience, getting a points across to them in a quick and accessible way and hoping they leave with a takeaway or two. You won't engage them or give them anything to remember that might make them want to watch it on their own unless you talk with passion about why YOU love skating. Can you boil it down to three points? Can you compare it to things more mainstream for accessibility (like the kiss 'n cry is like the baseball dugout ) If had 7 minutes, I'd frame it around how it uniquely combines three things for me like no other sport can: drama, art and athleticism, especially for the men. I'd probably talk about big name male skaters, the thrill of watching the final warmup group of men at Worlds (with quads just booming all around and you just don't know which one to watch!), the tension as each comes out to skate and sets up for their opening quad, and show a couple of examples that for me illustrate why I love men more than any other discipline - show a Misha Ge footwork, a Dai footwork, some Fernandez choreo, dig into the vault for some voids a la Klimkin, show some of Chan's complex transitions, etc. For another perhaps its the musicality of ice dance, dance rivalries, and lots of off ice drama with coaches and politiks. What are your three things? Good luck!
