WASTE WATCHDrug Testing
from Eyewitness News Online
W.Va. Lawmakers Discuss Measures To Fight Abuse
February 20, 2013
In 2009, then-delegate Craig Blair pleaded for a floor vote on his proposal to randomly test people receiving welfare.
"We need to be able to take this up," Blair said. "Vote it up. Vote it down. Do what you think is the right thing to do but let's give it that opportunity."
Blair lost that battle. Since then, the question of whether testing those getting state assistance has been debated every year without any laws being passed.
But, that could change this session. House speaker Rick Thompson is promising action.
"I truly believe that we can come up with a piece of legislation and leadership says let's come up with a piece of legislation that addresses these concerns," Thompson said.
Thompson says past efforts to approve a drug testing bill were derailed by constitutional concerns and questions about how to best protect children in difficult situations. Federal benefits, including food stamps would not be affected.
"We know it's a problem," Thompson said. "No one wants to see somebody on drugs getting state assistance. Nobody does that I know of, I certainly don't. It's just figuring out the answer to that problem that's the hard part at times."
Following a two-year absence from the legislature, Blair is back, this time as a senator representing the eastern panhandle. He's joined with fellow freshman senator Mitch Carmichael to continue fighting for a way to implement drug tests and then help those who test positive.
"The fact of the matter is it's always been the right thing to do," Blair said. "And this was not my idea, this was the people's idea out here. If we are drug tested to go to work, certainly you can do that to get temporary assistance."
"We test the individual that's receiving the state aid," Carmichael said. "We do not take away their benefits if they test positive on the first test. We ask that they, we require in fact that they go into a treatment program. Then the benefits continue to flow, they are required to test again in 30 days to see if they are clean or not. If they're not clean then there are repercussions from a benefits standpoint. But at no point do we take the benefits from the children. At no point."
West Virginia isn't the only state looking to tackle the drug problem through testing. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, seven states have already passed laws requiring drug testing or screening from public assistance applicants and recipients, Some of those laws are being challenged in court. The NCSL says 28 states, including West Virginia, offered drug testing proposals last year.
Blair and Carmichael say they are encouraged by Thompson's promise that the house will pass a drug testing bill.
"I'm excited and not excited for myself because that doesn't mean anything at all," Blair said. "It's exciting for the taxpayers and the people of West Virginia."
"We do this, Kennie, from a compassionate perspective," Carmichael said. "We want to help people get off of the drug addiction and become productive members of our society. That's our motivation for doing this and I think it's the right thing to do and I'm thrilled that it's making progress."
Blair and Carmichael say their measure will not impact food stamp eligibility. That is federally protected. They add their proposal also contains a mandate that lawmakers be tested before taking office.

SAN DIEGO—An elderly bank robber knocked over his fifth bank in less than three months Monday, law enforcement officials said.
The robber, dubbed the "Geezer Bandit" by local FBI agents, hit the Bank of America at 7680 Girard Ave in La Jolla just before 6 p.m. The man, thought to be in his 70s, displayed a gun and demanded money from a teller. He left the bank on foot with an unspecified amount of cash, investigators said.
According to the FBI, he is responsible for robbing four other San Diego County banks:
- U.S Bank at 9643 Mission Gorge Road, Santee on Aug. 28,
- San Diego National Bank at 7877 Ivanhoe in San Diego on Sept. 12,
- U.S. Bank at 4627 Carmel Mountain Road in San Diego on Oct. 9,
- and Bank of America at 17008 Avenida de Acacias in Rancho Sante Fe on Oct. 26.
Anyone with information about the robberies should contact the FBI at 858-565-1255 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-TIPS. You may remain anonymous by calling either telephone number. Because a weapon has been displayed during some of his bank robberies, The "Geezer Bandit" should be considered armed and dangerous.

Install Crossing For Safer Access To Happy Valley
To the honourable members of the Brighton and Hove Council, We, the undersigned, wish the council to give due consideration to putting in some form of pedestrian crossing on the Falmer Road at the bottom of Crescent Drive South enabling safe crossing to the area known as "Happy Valley Park", Woodingdean. The reasons for this are as follows: 1/ The road is crossed by a large number of people every day. 2/ There have been several near misses The access to the park is just over the brow of a hill 3/ The temporary traffic camera used by the police is having no effect on the cars speeding down this road 4/ The "Friends of Happy Valley Group" are actively encouraging people to use the area 5/ Long term aims also include a Café and the re-installation of a children's park

Review Details
Roadcrafter Light One Piece Suit
- Product Review (submitted on November 25, 2011):
I loved this suit before I ventured out last Thursday morning at 6:20 on my way to work. It had rained the evening before and the leaves that were on the trees two nights before were now in the street. I came to an intersection on a back road and pressed on my brakes. My bike hit the wet leaves and slide out from under me at 30 miles-per-hour.
My Roadcrafter and I slid through the intersection. I tore through the left knee (I had the additional pads), rolled on my back, and and tore an additional two holes. The only abrasion I had was on my left wrist between the suit and my glove -- very small.
Although I am still sore, and my bike needs some extensive repairs, my skin and my clothing are intact.
I will send my suit back for repairs. If it can't be repaired, I will order another one.

Micro Technologies (India) Ltd has introduced a product called Micr CallBlocker which can detect and block unsolicited calls and SMSs.
The company is offering this solution free to the first 10,000 users.
The CallBlocker can lock all contacts, phone numbers and text messages so that only its user can have access to the data, says a press release from Micro Tech.
The "highly customisable" product enables a user to choose from which person the calls and messages he is getting, to block.
The release points to a specific advantage — the ability to limit the number of calls the user may receive on any given day.
"For example, if you are running a new ad campaign, you don't want to receive calls from a particular area and you can block that entire area code," the release says.
The Mumbai-based IT company, which specialises in security devices and solutions, achieved a turnover of Rs 455.48 crore and a net profit of Rs 27 crore in 2011-12. Each share earned Rs 18.96.
On the BSE today, the Micro Tech share is currently trading at Rs 66.30, which is 45 paise higher than the previous close.

By Sean Giggy - bio | email | Twitter | Facebook
(WAOW) - Edgar's second straight football state title didn't come without a fight and once again, it was a solid defense that lifted the Wildcats to another gold ball.
For the complete story, please click on the provided video link or read below.
With a touchdown on its opening drive in the division 6 state championship, the Edgar football team looked like it would live up to its 46 points per game billing against Saint Mary's Springs.
But when the Wildcats offense failed to reach the endzone again, it was the Edgar defense that came through to bring home the school's second straight state title.
"Our defense is great," said Reed Lehman. "Six points could've won a lot of our games for us. Obviously it did again, it's just amazing."
Saint Mary's Springs had big chances to take control with two straight Edgar fumbles to open the second half, but the Ledgers were held to just one total yard on both drives following the fumbles.
"Give them credit for that, but then the defense would go in and hold them again, so once again our guys didn't back down when things looked bad for a while," Edgar head coach Jerry Sinz said.
"They had a lot of chances on our fumbles, I fumbled," Edgar running back Jorie Skrzypchak said. "Our defense just stepped it up and we told them, 'hey, step it up because it's going to be a hard fought battle."
The big defensive stand may have been a surprise to a Saint Mary's Springs team that came in averaging 33 points a game, but it was nothing new to Edgar fans.
After allowing just 20 points all of last season, the Wildcats shutout their first 7 opponents of the 2010 campaign on their road to the state title
"We felt like we knew what they were going to do all the time and we played a great game defensively and held them to three points which is great," Lehman said.

When using Twitter, especially for marketing it's always useful to handle more than one account. In fact some people can find they are handling anywhere from one to ten accounts at a time based on how many websites they are working on.
When using Twitter names to increase the visibility of updates on websites for SEO purposes for example it's normal to have a Twitter account for each website. While doing this you have to be able to handle all questions coming to the accounts so this has to be organised in a way that it is easy to handle.
Handling More Than One Account
One of the easiest ways to handle this is to use a Twitter client so that you can view all the accounts at the same time. For this how-to I'm going to use TweetDeck as it's very powerful and created for this use. Although the latest version is not as good as previous ones it still manages to allow the user to use as many names as they require.
When TweetDeck is installed the first thing is to add the accounts that you are going to use. This is done by clicking the cog icon on the top right of the application and then Application Settings. Then clicking on Accounts you can then add each Twitter account (and also Facebook if you wish to do that). This will give the TweetDeck application access to each account. By then leaving the Application Settings and clicking on Add Column on the top right of the Application you can then add a column for each of the Accounts.
When adding a column just add the timeline for each account, you will notice that there is already a "@ Me" column created. What this column shows is actually all mentions of all accounts that have been added. This means that you do not have to add a mention column for every account you are going to use. The same goes for direct messages. These are new additions to the TweetDeck functionality as before you needed to have a mention (@ me) column for each name, and same for messages.
Handling all the Information in the Streams
The most complicated part of handling Twitter this way is information overload. Personally I don't find a problem with this but it can be quite daunting when you see all the Twitter accounts and their tweet streams all on the same screen. Given time you will get used to it though and find that you can tweet from all of your names individually with no problems.
One thing to also be aware of is how to tweet from each account, or more than one account. This can be done by clicking on the Tweet button the blue button that you will see on the top left of the application and then selecting which account(s) to tweet from.
Make Twitter Work for You
The most important thing about functionality like this is that it is provided free and adds a lot to not only your experience when using Twitter, but also what you can do when marketing your sites. Twitter is a popular way right now to improve your user hits and having more than one account for your site can really help with this. Also don't forget that you use your personal Twitter account in this way, but just remember which one you are sending Tweets to and who your audience are.

Your new holiday puppy: What to do when the honeymoon is overKing of the jungle? Nah, it's just a labradoodle!
The honeymoon phase of a relationship ends when your love and infatuation for the other has passed and you begin to see this fantastic new being in your life more realistically.
In the weeks after the holidays, therefore, it is not uncommon for parents to find that their kids may have been more excited about the thought of getting a new puppy than they were about the reality of taking care of it.
As the days go by, the number of family members standing in line for their turn to take the new puppy outside may start to dwindle, as well as the giggles when the new puppy carries off a favorite new Christmas toy. As a result, "little accidents" on the floor may become more frequent, and as little "Fluff Ball" also begins exploring his world with the only mechanism he has — his mouth — and the kids' new Christmas toys are, one after the other, being eviscerated, the puppy's cuteness factor may no longer give him automatic forgiveness passes from the kids.
If you find yourself in the situation I've described above, then the "New Holiday Puppy Honeymoon" has officially ended. But do not panic — it's not too late to get everyone on track.
Step 1: Educate Your Puppy
Getting your new friend into a high-quality puppy kindergarten class as soon as possible is the number-one thing you can do to prevent behavior problems later on down the road. Between the ages of 7 to 16 weeks is the most critical time in your puppy's emotional and social development. A quality puppy kindergarten class will focus on socialization, communication and problem-prevention skills. Even if you've raised dogs in the past or have another dog at home whom your puppy can interact with, it is imperative your family and puppy attend puppy class together. Check with your veterinary hospital to see if they offer a class or know where to refer you. A puppy class should be fun, focused on building a happy and positive relationship, and include the entire family.
You can also help by doing some "homework." In my experience, I have found the following books to be helpful:
Video: How to curb your pet's inappropriate chewing
Culture Clash, by Jean Donaldson. When you get a new puppy, you have to realize that you have begun a relationship with an alternate species whose perspective of the world is very different from your own. Before you can begin to teach your puppy, you need to understand the world through his unique perspective. This book will help you to set appropriate expectations that are fair to your puppy.
Puppy Start Right, by Ken and Debbie Martin. This book is a positive approach to problem solving, prevention and training, without the use of punishment. It will teach you how to train the behaviors you do want in order to encourage and create a solid foundation of skills. These foundation skills are comparable to teaching good manners to children. For example, your puppy should learn to go to his mat or bed when the kids are eating. This will keep him from learning the kids' snack time is a free-for-all!
Living With Kids and Dogs . . . Without Losing Your Mind: A Parent's Guide to Controlling the Chaos, by Colleen Pelar. Kids and puppies are both egocentric — they believe the world revolves around their wants and needs! No doubt there will be confusion and frustration as you grow together, but this book will help you prevent miscommunication and get everyone on the right track to building a healthy relationship.
Clicking With Your Dog, by Peggy Tillman. Understanding and using the concepts of clicker training can become a common language between you and your new family member for the rest of his life. Clicker training uses positive reinforcement in combination with a signal — a clicker — to teach dogs how to behave properly. You can use clicker training anytime you want to teach your dog something new or improve on something he already knows. And if you can't get to a puppy kindergarten class, you can also explore online training options for your new pup.

Wow! Is this sport climbing?
September conditions? It looks to me like this could be an old photo, September of what year? I'm curious how the route is holding up in these recent temps.
This picture is roughly dated about 1990. It was the third week of Sept., whatever year it was. The Black Ice has come and gone and come again, in recent years, but even in the leanest times it's seen ascents.
ice looks plasticky. Nice "historical" photo (1990 was more than 20 years ago!)

At M.S.S.U. hundreds met to walk and to raise money for something close to their hearts, heart disease and illnesses. But of course before walking, they must stretch second annual American Heart Associations Heart Walk. Individuals or teams could participate, raising money for the local A.H.A. Patty Pippen walked today with about 35 of her coworkers from Springfield's Pediatric Medical Group, to support her daughter.
"My daughter is almost 27 and she's had down syndrome and she's had four open hearts, a pace maker, a micro valve, we have pulmonary hyper tension we are on oxygen 24/7 now and we just got over pneumonia so that's why she's not with me today but yes it is very personal, very personal, so we want to raise money and make aware that it can strike anybody at anytime" says Pippin.
The walk raised more than $25,000. Since 2000, there has been a 31% decrease in cardiac vascular disease deaths and stroke deaths.

The Center for Sustainable Living, in partnership with the Bloomington Permaculture Guild, will host the 2010 Simply Living Fair on September 25-26 in Third Street Park.
"We're excited to bring back the original Simply Living Fair format –a full day of workshops and hands-on demonstrations on Saturday that include everything from home weatherization to backyard chickens to rain gardens," said coordinator Maggie Sullivan. "We have a great line up of local experts as well as a whole track of workshops in our Family Tent aimed towards children. The day will conclude with a talk by Aaron Newton, the author of 'A Nation of Farmers' and an important food activist in North Carolina."
In addition to Saturday's activities, this year the fair will continue on Sunday with four great bus tours of local green projects, including several permaculture sites. Permaculture is an ethical system of design focused on reintegrating the human world with the natural world to keep both worlds healthy. One tour will feature the homestead of nationally acclaimed permaculture instructors Keith Johnson and Peter Bane who have created a beautiful home and garden that demonstrate how to produce enough food, water, and energy for their personal needs while enhancing the natural environment. Another will feature permaculture design used in a neighborhood setting to strengthen the sense of community connections.
One of the goals of the organizers is to keep the fair affordable and several events will be offered free of charge. Many of the events, including keynote talks by Eric Brende and Aaron Newton, are free. Day passes for the Saturday workshops are only $15 and the bus tours on Sunday are $15 each.

'Cowboy' Bush was a far more effective world leader than 'focus group' Obama
When he was president, George W. Bush's international leadership was widely mocked and derided by his liberal critics, who loudly declared that his plain-talking style was undermining America's image in the world. Even now, the Left cannot resists a dig at the ex-president, with former Obama adviser Rob Shapiro exclaiming to Fox News over the weekend:
The United States is no longer the out-of-control cowboy. Instead, we build global coalitions. We get the support of the Arab world. We get the support of Africa. We get the support of Europe.
Shapiro's statement ignores the fact that the military alliance built by Bush to confront Saddam Hussein was significantly larger than the coalition on the ground now in Libya, that Europe remains divided over how to deal with Colonel Gaddafi (witness Germany's abstention at the UN Security Council), or that the Arab League is barely lifting a finger, with one or two exceptions. As for Africa, so far not one member of the African Union has joined the no-fly zone operation. But the Left rarely lets reality get in the way of baseless conjecture.
This theme of Bush as an isolated "cowboy", acting without the support of the wider international community, was commonplace in the liberal media throughout his presidency. And both John Kerry and Barack Obama ran election campaigns that talked about "restoring" America's standing abroad. Needless to say, Obama was cheered by hundreds of thousands of adoring Germans when he staged an election rally in Berlin, where he offered what can only be described as "European-style mush" in place of Bush's hard-nosed and aggressive US approach.
But world leadership of course is not a popularity contest, as Obama himself is now discovering. At the end of the day, a US president must be judged not by his poll rating in Berlin or Jakarta, but by the degree to which he successfully advances US interests, defends his nation, and projects strong leadership on the world stage. And an examination of the foreign policy record of the two presidents shows they are a league apart. President Bush after all liberated nearly 60 million Muslims from tyranny in Afghanistan and Iraq, and launched a global war against Islamist terrorists – no mean feat. As I wrote in a piece for The Daily Telegraph just before Bush left office:
If superpowers do not demonstrate an ability and a willingness to wield power (as Britain did on numerous occasions at the height of the Empire) their hegemony will be increasingly challenged. President Bush exercised U.S. military power to stunning effect in both Iraq and Afghanistan, an important reminder that America was still a force to be reckoned with after the 1990s humiliation of Somalia and the half-hearted missile strikes against Bin Laden in Sudan. In an age of growing threats and challenges, the projection of hard power matters, and America's next president would be wise to take heed.
In contrast, President Obama's foreign policy has been marked by a great deal of dithering and obfuscation, from his agonisingly slow decision-making on Afghanistan to the current war in Libya. His biggest "achievement", the conclusion of the New START Treaty with Moscow, was in reality a humiliating surrender to Russian demands. While President Bush championed the strengthening of alliances with key allies such as Great Britain and Japan, the Obama administration has preferred to downgrade traditional partnerships such as the Special Relationship, and appease America's enemies and strategic competitors.
President Bush deserves far greater credit for his much maligned foreign policy. Under Bush, the United States was feared by her enemies, respected by her allies, and decisive in the face of a series of crises. His successor however seems all too often paralysed when it comes to US leadership, and unable to act without a permission slip from the United Nations or the Arab League. Liberals should just admit it – George W. Bush led the world rather than followed it. In contrast, the professorial President Obama runs US foreign policy like a focus group, unable to act without the stamp of approval of other international actors, and projecting weakness in its wake.

Cheer for beer fans in Santa grotto...
11:00am Monday 3rd December 2012 in Local news By Amanda Greaves, Reporter
A festive grotto and bar is being set up by Ilkley Brewery this December to kick off the seasonal celebrations.
The brewery, in Ashlands Road, will open its doors to the public from 5pm to 7pm every evening from December 17 to 21, and from noon to 2pm on December 22.
The Christmas grotto will have gift ideas for craft beer fans.
Grotto organiser Luke Raven said: "Last year we were inundated with people keen to buy gift packs and beer in the run-up to Christmas.
"So this year the grotto idea was born to give beer fans, and their nearest and dearest, the chance to get ahead of the game with their Christmas shopping and entertaining.
"Plus we're hoping our popular brewery bar will be a honeypot for seasonal socialis-ing."
One of the festive beers on offer is called Mary Christmas.

Dried Cherry Biscotti Recipe
Need a holiday treat that's not overly sweet? Sharon Martin of Manistee, Michigan has an answer with her Dried Cherry Biscotti. The cherries and almonds add color and texture and a dusting of powdered sugar dress these up. CW taste testers noted these biscotti were not as hard and crunchy as some.
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 egg whites
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds, toasted
- 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
- In a small bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Beat in egg whites and extract. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture. Stir in cherries and almonds (dough will be stiff).
- Press into an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan to a cutting board; cut biscotti in half with a serrated knife. Cut each half into 1/2-in. slices.
- Place slices cut side down on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown, turning once. Remove to wire racks to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

Given the way things pile on now, you've already read more than you want to know about a movie you are dying to see, David Fincher's The Social Network. Some of you will go to the New York Film Festival September 24; others will wait until it opens October 1.
What can I tell you? The screening at Sony Backstage was packed. (Edgar Wright and Anna Kendrick were in my row, along with ex-Premiere scribe Fred Schruers, who is finishing up his Billy Joel book and writing a story on the movie for THR, and Snagfilms chief Rick Allen; also in the room were THR film editor Gregg Kilday and critic Kirk Honeycutt, Gregory Ellwood of Hitfix, a gaggle of Variety writers, MCN's David Poland and David Ansen of Newsweek.) Sony is screening the hell out of The Social Network because it risks being too smart for the room. They feel the need to get buzz going, but at this juncture, their marketing risks overhype and backlash. UPDATE: Here's THR, Variety and Todd McCarthy.
Luckily, The Social Network is a whip-sharp speed-ball of a movie that delivers a powerful origin myth. Jesse Eisenberg and writer Aaron Sorkin (the subject of a juicy must-read profile by Mark Harris in New York Magazine) are shoo-ins to land their first Oscar noms, and more are likely, including best picture, director, cinematography, editing and sound mixing and editing.
Rooney Mara (who Fincher later cast as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), holds her own in a tiny role as Mark Zuckerberg's Boston U girlfriend. In the super-speedy opening scene, she's trying to keep up with her motormouth date; by the end she says talking to him is like being on a stairmaster and she dumps him. If he doesn't fare well with girls later in life, it won't be because he's a nerd, she tells him, but because he's an "asshole." In Sorkin's telling of the founding of Facebook (based on Ben Mezrich's book The Accidental Billionaires), that starts everything. This geeks' success story is often light and comedic. Fincher throws in drugs and sex and Palo Alto fantasies--and Napster founder Sean Parker (a suave and smarmy Justin Timberlake) as The Devil--to keep things fun.
Technologically, the movie is almost too digital. Fincher, who likes to fuss with his intermediates, can't help but add digital breath when Zuckerberg and his soon-to-be-ex-partner Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield, later cast as Spider-Man) are standing outside in the cold, or slow and fuzzy digital snow flakes. In one disco scene between Zuckerberg and Parker, we clearly hear their dialogue through a pounding wall of sound, an astonishing mixing feat. When the camera leaves Zuckerberg's deposition conference rooms--which work well as the film's narrative spine--and claustrophobic shots of glowing heads wired into laptops, it cuts to two magnificent Harvard twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (borrowing a seamless head-replacement device from Benjamin Button, Armie Hammer plays both), rowing. The movie snickers at these Olympian embodiments of the old world; they play by gentlemens' club rules, sweat when they exercise and tune into nature. Zuckerberg wears flip flops in the snow and a bathrobe to a business meeting, and can barely communicate with others.
Remarkably, the movie makes us care about the youngest billionaire in the world. Even if Zuckerberg is an asshole, he's still a hero. He fascinates us, because he is part of who we are now.

Thanks for the great review,Anne.
I'm just thrilled by film's fantastic reviews.If this film wins Best picture Oscar,Kevin Spacey will become a third time Oscar winner!
I just hope film will be huge at Boxoffice.Great reviews and huge boxoffice make TSN a perfect Oscar contender.Although probably TSN is not easy sell,I guess.No stars,being labeled as a "FaceBook movie" by many in a bad way.And trailer is not effective.I've hearing trailer was not well recieved at theatre.Probably it's too seriously or overly dramatic.Unfortunately it seems like trailer doesn't represent film's greatness.But reviews are fantastic,so it won't flop.
Anne Thompson | September 22, 2010 4:27 AM
I will try to be more careful about spoilers. But this Social Network review doesn't have any. I talk about the opening scene and characters we all know are in the book the movie is based on--which is about Savarin's lawsuit against former best friend Zuckerberg. The movie is based on real people and events.
Richard | September 22, 2010 4:09 AM
Anne, you mention how much publicity is piling up before launching into descriptions of scenes as though they aren't spoilers. Other reviews have refrained. Can you possibly discuss pictures without delving into the content, or at least give warnings to your plot divulging? You spoiled 'Animal Kingdom' in revealing the deaths of the brothers, where, again, other reviews did not. I love your blog and perspective, but you do sometimes remind me of the lady in the room who doesn't know what 'listening ears' are.
The Pope | September 21, 2010 10:49 AM
You wonder how much longer can we last as a culture if we idolize people like Zuckerberg? How do you think we got this far? What has fueled the last 10,000 years is the idolization of people who are for the most part emotionally crippled, socially retarded, and completely lacking in empathy. Tyrants. Visionaries. Pioneers. Inventors. Innovators. Politicians. Scientists. Artists. Athletes. Bankers. Pornstars.

"Remarkably, the movie makes us care about the youngest billionaire in the world. Even if Zuckerberg is an asshole, he's still a hero. He fascinates us, because he is part of who we are now."
And that about sums up everything that's wrong with our culture now. How long can a culture that idolizes assholes keep its economy from imploding? The hard work needed for this country to survive and to once again thrive is not going to be performed--or supervised by--assholes.

Feds eye rules for debt collectorsNovember 10,2013The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau wants to hear about your dealings with debt collectors.
The CFPB is considering rules to govern debt collectors, a loosely regulated industry under increasing scrutiny over complaints of abusive tactics, reports Danielle Douglas for The Washington Post.
The consumer watchdog agency is soliciting comments from the public and businesses before proposing the rules, which are expected to be finalized next year. The CFPB says its interested in consumer experiences with the debt collection system, and about how rules for debt collectors might protect consumers without imposing unnecessary burdens on industry.
While debt collection can benefit consumers by reducing the price and increasing the availability of credit, in the absence of legislation and regulation many consumers may be subject to debt collection efforts that raise consumer protection concerns, CFPB said in its notice about the proposed rulemaking.
Ive written quite a bit about the debt collection industry. Last summer, I wrote about one company that settled allegations by the Federal Trade Commission for calling consumers at home or on their jobs multiple times per day, even after being asked to stop or told that the persons employer prohibited such calls.
Here are some other columns Ive written on the issue:
Time-barred debts. Debt collectors have a limited number of years in which they can sue someone to collect. After the time runs out, unpaid debts are considered time-barred. Debt collectors are allowed to contact you about time-barred debts. However, under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, they cannot sue you for a debt thats time-barred.Debt settlement. When Im asked, What do you think of debt settlement? I cringe. I gird myself for a frustrating discussion with desperate debtors looking for a quick fix to a problem theyve spent years creating. But trying to nuke your debt away in short order is just a pipe dream for most people. Only about one in 10 consumers participating in debt-settlement programs actually ends up debt-free in the promised period of time, according to a consumer alert issued recently by the nonprofit National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.
Providing proof. In 2011, Maryland joined a growing number of states in which judges are demanding greater proof from debt buyers before allowing them to sue consumers to recover alleged obligations.
I want to hear about your debt collection experiences. What dealings good or bad have you had with debt collectors? Send your comments to firstname.lastname@example.com. Put Debt Collection in the subject line and include your full name, city and state.
You might also send comments about your experiences to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at www.regulations.govto help with its rulemaking.

Violence Against Women Act Reintroduced
Today in Washington, a bipartisan group of Senators announced the re-introduction of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Reauthorization. Led by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the senators spoke of how violence against women had touched them and their states personally.
Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Kelly Ayotte (R- NH) both mentioned that half of all homicides in their states were related to domestic violence. Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), the lead republican, pointed out that there had already been four domestic violence murders in Idaho just this month. Senators Klobuchar (D-MN) and Murray (D-WA) highlighted the importance of meeting the needs of all victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, as well as other updates included in the reauthorization such as better addressing cyber-stalking and youth dating violence. Senator Leahy is fast-tracking the bill directly to the floor so it may be voted on quickly.
"We're calling on the Senate to quickly pass the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization so it can move to the House expeditiously," said Futures Director of Policy Kiersten Stewart. "We greatly appreciate the commitment of the group of bipartisan Senators who are making the Violence Against Women Act a priority."
Futures is proud to have played an instrumental role in developing the landmark Violence Against Women Act passed in 1994, which has been a game-changing piece of legislation ever since. Below, we've highlighted a few of the Act's many accomplishments over the past 18 years:
- Domestic violence for adult women is down 60% since 1994. It is impossible to overstate the importance of this decrease. In addition to the lives lost and injuries sustained, the high costs of domestic violence—extending from public and mental health to lost productivity and beyond—are well documented. Any decrease in domestic violence will therefore benefit everyone in society.
- The number of intimate partner deaths has decreased 34% for women and 57% for men. VAWA helps the justice system keep victims safe by ensuring recognition of victims' protection orders in all jurisdictions of the United States as well as increasing rates of prosecution, conviction and sentencing for offenders.
- All states have passed laws that take rape seriously. Whereas previously spousal and date rape were considered less serious crimes than stranger rape, new, stronger laws have been passed that redress this.
- VAWA saves money. VAWA saves the taxpayers money by reducing the monetary costs associated with domestic violence. In its first six years, VAWA saved American taxpayers at least $14.8 billion dollars in net averted social costs.
- VAWA makes the judicial system works for victims. A federal "rape shield law" prevents victims' past sexual conduct from being used against them in a rape trial, and every year 500,000 members of the law enforcement and legal communities receive domestic violence training with VAWA funding.

Seven staff suspended in care home investigation (From Gazette)

Seven staff suspended in care home investigation
8:58am Thursday 6th March 2014 in News
Seven members of staff have been suspended at Braintree's biggest care home amid concerns over the treatment of residents.
A source close to The Old Deanery and St Mary's Court in Bocking, which has 156 elderly residents, said staff had been suspended after allegations were made to the management about the treatment of residents in The Old Deanery.
The management has since hired an independent law firm to carry out a full investigation as a matter of urgency, but declined to elaborate on the nature of the allegations.
On Monday evening, as many as 60 relatives of residents attended the care home for a meeting to learn of the situation, what action was being taken and to have questions answered.

The CQC reported that there were enough members of staff to keep people safe and meet their health and welfare needs; and also that there were enough qualified, skilled and experienced staff to meet people's needs.
So what has apparently gone so badly wrong since that time?
It will be interesting to see whether the CQC 'didn't see the wood for the trees' or whether there has been a significant deterioration in the quality of care provided in the year or so following their unannounced inspection and declaration of standards being met.
I think this is could be a mighty interesting storyline.

It's not often that we see a player spend his entire career in one place, no matter the sport. Chris Phillips is the exception to the rule.
The defenseman signed a three-year contract with the Ottawa Senators on Sunday night as trade deadline speculation continued to heat up around the player and the only team he's known in his 13-year NHL career. It's a deal worth $9.25 million over the course of the deal, which works out to about $3 million per season, as reported by TSN, which also notes that Phillips holds a no-move clause in the new deal.
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun first reported the news. He also reports this deadline eve that the signing of Phillips puts defensemen Filip Kuba and Chris Campoli in play on Monday, since the Sens now have six NHL defensemen under contract, plus several youngsters looking to get a shot and the restricted free agent Campoli.
Phillips had been the subject of trade rumors for weeks. He held a no-trade clause so he had the ability to dictate his own future, but there was the possibility that he could have waived that option to go to a playoff team. He's undoubtedly taking a pay cut by staying in Ottawa, but considering he's lived there since cracking the NHL in 1997.
For more on Phillips and the Senators, check in with SB Nation's Silver Seven.

New Pass home sells for $8.4 million
Date: February 5, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
A new, 8,800-square-foot home and guest home on the south side of New Pass has sold for $8.4 million — a year-to-date high for Sarasota County.
Todd Johnston Homes through its Westway limited liability company of 3859 Bee Ridge Road, sold the home at 1333 West Way Drive to Colleen Ofield, of Richmond Hill, Ontario, as trustee of the Craig Ofield Florida Trust. The deed of the sale was recorded Jan. 28, at the Sarasota County Courthouse. Karen Johnston, vice president of Todd Johnston homes and wife of Todd Johnston, was the listing agent. Linda Roe Dickinson, of Michael Saunders & Co., was the selling agent.
Builder-developer Todd Johnston and his corporate partners, Westway LLC, bought lots 13 and 14 in the Lido C subdivision of John Ringling Estates for $4.3 million and cleared the lots to build the home and guest house.
The main, two-story home has four bedrooms, four baths and three half-baths. Amenities include a movie theater, elevator, bar, separate wine bar and wine room, downstairs study, gazebo, a swimming pool that flows into a second swimming pool, marble circular staircase with rod-iron metal railings and second-story balcony that overlooks New Pass and Longboat Key
The guest home has one bedroom and one bathroom. The property also includes two two-car garages and a dock and boat lift on New Pass.
Karen Johnston said that the price was indicative of the deals available in today's real-estate market.
"Several years ago, it would have commanded a much higher price," she said. "(The buyer) got a deal."

Heybridge: Mum fined for park dog attack
3:00pm Sunday 11th November 2012 in Local News
A mother has been ordered to keep her dog muzzled and on a lead while in public after it attacked another dog and caused an injury to its owner.
Gillian Morris, of Hadrians Way, Heybridge, admitted being the owner of a dangerously out of control dog that injured Adam Pipe at Oak Tree Meadow, in Heybridge, on July 4.
Chelmsford Magistrates' Court heard that Morris, 48, had been inside the fenced off play area, where dogs are not allowed, with her Pointer cross Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Jack, and two friends and their baby at about 8pm.
Mr Pipe was walking his Labrador, Archie, when Jack came running out of the play area towards them.
Denise Holland, prosecuting, said Mr Pipe had described the onrushing dog as demonstrating "extremely aggressive behaviour" before it attacked Archie, leaving him with puncture wounds to his side and shoulder.
Magistrates fined the married mother-of-one £400 and ordered that Jack was muzzled and kept on a lead when in public.

The St. Louis Cardinals lost Game 2 of the NLCS 7-1 Monday night, and didn't look very good doing it. Chris Carpenter made it through just four innings before getting the hook, hurting his own cause with a throwing error that eventually led to three unearned runs. Left fielder Matt Holliday made yet another postseason blunder in the outfield -- over-running Marco Scutaro's fourth inning single -- and earned the ire of Giants fans everywhere with his takeout slide of Scutaro in the first.
For blogger Dan Moore at Viva El Birdos, the Cardinals' Game 2 performance Monday night was poor all the way around and hopefully not a harbinger of things to come in St. Louis:
The St. Louis Cardinals played very badly in Game 2 of the NLCS...
[T]hey were outplayed in a way that doesn't even require that the other team play very well. Chris Carpenter was undermined by balls in play and poor defense, but all that mediocrity took because he couldn't find the strike zone; his command, the very skill that makes him Chris Carpenter, wasn't in evidence, and he couldn't continue pretending he had it indefinitely.
Obviously the very skill that makes Ryan Vogelsong Ryan Vogelsong is his hard-won ability to make other teams look terrible for being unable to hit Ryan Vogelsong, and that was in evidence. Teams can't come back from five and six run deficits every game, but Vogelsong was able to make this look like a team that could never do that sort of thing...The Cardinals were SUCK yesterday. Let's hope they're better in Game 3.
The Cardinals and Giants get an off day Tuesday to travel to St. Louis for Games 3, 4 and 5, which begin Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. All NLCS games are broadcast on FOX.

A Holly Hill teen is getting 35 years in prison for the shooting death of a man on the South Carolina State University campus.
The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reports that Circuit Judge Ed Dickson sentenced 17-year-old Julian Young to prison, calling the death a senseless act.
After a two-day trial, a jury decided Young shot Jonathan Bailey during a drug deal last year in a university parking lot.
Defense attorney Virgin Johnson argued no gun was produced and no testimony showed that his client actually shot Bailey. Johnson asked for a directed verdict of not guilty and a new trial, but the judge rejected the requests.
Ray Anthony Alston of Charleston is also charged with murder in the case, but he has not yet been tried.

Atari ST
<computer> A personal computer released by Atari in 1985. The "ST" stands for "Sixteen/Thirty-two", from the Motorola 68000's 16-bit external bus and 32-bit processor. The original 520ST model had an external floppy drive and power supply whereas the 1040ST had them built-in. The 520 and later 520STFM came with 512 KB of RAM, the 1040 had 1 MB. Several upgraded models followed, up to the 1993 Motorola 68030 based Falcon.
The ST was the first home computer with built-in MIDI ports and plenty of MIDI software. A wide range of other software from office to games was also available.
