Founder of Daily Kos Insists Mark Halperin's On a 'Jihad Against the Truth'
Markos Moulitsas, the founder and publisher of the Daily Kos, demonstrated that he can locate a vast right-wing conspiracy just like the rest of the Kosmonauts. Mark Halperin's suspension, for him, proved once again that Halperin is a right-wing fellow traveler with Joe Scarborough, who's the "real president" of MSNBC:
I think it's wonderful that Halperin betrayed his full feelings about Obama on the air. It's tiresome seeing people pretend that he's some sort of neutral political arbitrer [sic], when he's engaged in a long-running jihad against the truth.
Halperin, a real dick, was hired as MSNBC's "senior political analyst" at the behest of another dick, the network's real president Joe Scarborough. As I wrote after being blacklisted from that network:
According to Nexis, since the premiere of Morning Joe on October 22, 2007, Mark Halperin, MSNBC's "senior political analyst," has spent 70 percent of his on-air time either on Scarborough's show or shows hosted by his posse. It's pretty clear he exists merely because Scarborough wants him around.
And why would Scarborough -- a conservative host on the lowest-rated morning show on cable--want Halperin around? It isn't for his astute political acumen, because he has none of that. It's because they're fellow travelers in an ideological crusade against reality. How's that from the supposedly "liberal" MSNBC?
Today, Halperin was suspended by MSNBC for calling Obama a "dick". His sin was to breach the Beltway's pretend civility. As Greg Sargent says:
Halperin's use of an expletive is trival when compared with the degradation of our political discourse we witness on a regular basis from Halperin and many others — degradation that is seen as perfectly acceptable because no curse words are employed. Suspending Halperin only reinforces a phony definition of "civility" in our discourse, in which it's unacceptable to use foul language and be "uncivil," but it's perfectly acceptable for reporters and commentators to allow outright falsehoods to pass unrebutted; to traffic endlessly in false equivalences in the name of some bogus notion of objectivity; and to make confident assertions about public opinion without referring to polls which show them to be completely wrong.
As far as insults go, it's weak tea. As political analysis, it's laughable. As network policy, it's ludicrous. Fire Halperin's ass for being a useless piece of s--t who is always wrong about everything. Not for being a dick.

LOL at this mornings show, with Mika and Joe stating the show has been unfair and unbalanced and leaning only one way. So, from now forward, they'll be pro-Obama.
Yesterday they said Obama had a "promised appearance" upcoming. I bet you he threatened to caaaaaaannnnn-cel!

Now there's a real sense of reality......NOT! That Moulitsas has more than a few screws loose.
We're going to see more stuff like this nonsense get rachetted up from here on out. People are FINALLY becoming aware of the danger the possob presents to this country and his defenders are going to be coming out very much in earnest in denying that as much as possible, even if it means eating their own, which they be having a steady diet of in the days ahead.
This is only the beginning.

You mean neutral like the Daily Kos?
Submitted by TheHistorian on Fri, 07/01/2011 - 7:59am.
When someone finally observes that this President is in a hole and still digging faster, then he can't be neutral? Moulitas has only one definition of neutral. That is when you can only say nice things about Obama. I think you should try neutral Markos. Your web page is the perfect example of a sycophant.

It's remarkable...
Submitted by Ed Gregory on Fri, 07/01/2011 - 8:16am.
...how quickly these people turn on their own kind. Truly hilarious to observe. As supposed political commentators, their entire identities are built on an ideology that is intrinsically anti-human and wholly childish. The only time they're happy is when everybody else is unhappy. And you know what that makes them? Dicks. Moulitsas, Scarborough, Halperin, Cooper, Matthews, Olberdork and on down the line -- they're all dicks who want to spoil life for everybody because they can't hang with reality (pun intended).

I was going to say, here we are, yet another example of the zero-tolerance Left, but then it just occurred to me... in terms of power and influence among the left, Halperin's and Kos's vehicles are actually fairly close these days. Which is a sad comment on how far Time has fallen, but regardless, I'm sure Kos sees this as a great opportunity to snatch a big chunk of power and influence away from his rival, and that's probably a big part of why he's going after Halperin with such zeal.

I stopped and read some of the posting in Markos Moulitsas .....rag(?) on line and at best "dick" should have been used many more times and would have better than the trash used. My Farther, bless his soul, always told me, using bad words is a stop gap of true understanding and learning.
Markos Moulitsas, I must bend the rule and suggest maybe it is because the sites material and players ....they seem like a "Dancing Boys Club? And that is fine, and up until I read it I know I haven't missed a thing.

MSNBC never had a White House defending presence on air during the Bush years, so why start now? It's scary that speaking ill of BO is akin to heresy on a "news" channel that exists solely to tear down those they don't agree with. They are obviously showing which master they have chosen to obey.

Markos Moulitsas
Submitted by Phryj1 on Fri, 07/01/2011 - 11:29am.
A man who drinks his own Koolaid and believes his own hype. Pathetic. He's a narcissistic jackass who's ego was bruised when MSNBC banned him, and he's convinced himself that Scarborough -who is no slouch when it comes to polishing Obama's turds, not on the level of the Kos kids, but definitely right up there with the other MSNBC hosts- is really running the network. Markos is one of the few people who's ego actually shows up in photos of him.
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

I've been thinking for a while about selling my 15-85 since I'm not satisfied with the quality (good at 15 sucks at 85) and the colors that are "weird" (tough to describe) and because , anyways I was wondering if the 17-40 would be an upgrade IQ wise. I was also considering the 16-28 tokina for the 2.8 if anyone has experience with that lens.Can you post some sucky images at 85mm? I have the 17-40 and I was thinking to get the 15-85 because it is a more versatile all-around lens. I'm not planning to sell my 17-40 though, because I use it on 3 cameras(2 ff, 1 aps-c). 17-40 is very good if you can live with the lack of IS.
What I love about 17-40? Its build quality, size-weight, color rendition and the lack of flaring! I find its IQ well above average, especially at f8-11.

I'm trying to setup a fileshare on my EV3 so I can mount it to my Mac and easily copy files back and forth. I've been through all the fstab and exports stuff but it still don't works. It seems that NFSD is not installed on my EV3/lejos (alpha 0.5.0 ) as I can't enable/status nfsd nor can I find the file. Trying to install it the usual Linux way didn't work (apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common).
How do I get NFS installed and working under lejos?

Amendments to the National Gambling Reform legislation
On 25 March 2014 the Parliament passed amendments to the National Gambling Reform Act 2012, and repealed the National Gambling Reform (Related Matters) Act (No. 1) 2012 and the National Gambling Reform (Related Matters) Act (No. 2) 2012. The Acts are replaced by the Gambling Measures Act 2012 which took effect on receiving Royal Assent on 31 March 2014. You can find more information on the ComLaw website.
The changes deliver the Government's commitment to reduce regulatory duplication between governments, and restore control over the placement and withdrawal limits of ATMs in gaming venues to the states. The changes include abolishing the National Gambling Regulator and its associated supervisory levy, as well as removing requirements to implement the state-linked voluntary pre-commitment, mandatory pre-commitment capability and dynamic warnings requirements on gaming machines. It is important to note that while Commonwealth laws have changed, you must still comply with State and Territory Government laws.
In its place is a commitment to work with our stakeholders to implement venue-based voluntary pre-commitment and gaming machine capability in realistic timeframes. This includes consultation with stakeholders on the development and implementation of a venue-based pre-commitment scheme that has the capability to connect to a State or Territory-wide pre commitment scheme that operates within that State or Territory.
Provisions relating to the establishment of the Australian Gambling Research Centre (AGRC) are retained. The AGRC is responsible for pursuing a long-term national research plan on practical ways to reduce harm from problem gambling. You can find more information about the AGRC on the Australian Institute of Family Studies website.
The Government remains committed to helping problem gamblers by developing nationally consistent minimum standards in the provision of support for problem gamblers that are administered by the States. This approach will consider best practice approaches to gambling harm minimisation across the spectrum of gambling products, from gaming machines to online gambling.
The Government is committed to implementing preventative measures that are available and useful for all gamblers, and treatment options to help those experiencing harm. This includes venue‑based voluntary pre-commitment, more and better targeted counselling and support services and more effective self-exclusion schemes, including for ATMs.
The Government will continue to work with industry (through the Industry Advisory Council on Gambling), State and Territory Governments, academia and the community sector to deliver real, meaningful and measurable support for problem gamblers.
Current activities
Queensland trial of dynamic warning messages
The Australian Government, with the assistance of industry and the Queensland Government, conducted the first live trial of dynamic warning messages on electronic gaming machines. The trial tested a suite of messages in five venues across South-East Queensland. To see the findings of the trial, please view the report; Trial of Dynamic Warning Messages on Electronic Gaming Machines.
ATM withdrawal limit
There is no longer a Commonwealth requirement for ATMs in gaming machine venues to have a cash withdrawal limit. State and Territory laws still apply.
Visit the frequently asked questions page for information on how the changes might impact gaming machine venues.

For over three decades, Canada has funded development assistance projects in developing countries through the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI). The CFLI is a program that supports small-scale, short-term projects proposed and implemented by local NGOs that are legally registered with their respective governments. This program enables Canada to respond to local needs by working at the community level.
Equally important, the CFLI serves to strengthen Canada's relationships with civil society and local communities and to build networks of contacts in countries around the world.
The High Commission of Canada in Kenya is responsible for the CFLI in Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, South Sudan and Somalia. The CFLI program is directly managed by the High Commission.
The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development is launching a call for proposals in anticipation of the availability of funding. The call for proposals is provided for individual projects that are of a maximum duration of three months (with activities completed by January 31, 2014). Requests for core funding will not be considered. The average contribution is expected to be in the range of CAD $15,000-$20,000 for each individual project. Larger projects may be considered with appropriate justification for use of funds.
Once a thorough assessment of your application is done, you will be notified of the decision. There is no need to contact the High Commission for updates on the status of your application.
Proposals submitted for funding must relate to one of Canada's five development priorities:
Of these priorities, the High Commission of Canada in Kenya puts a special emphasis on advancing democracy and ensuring security and stability, which includes the following: democratic governance; conflict prevention and resolution; broad support for human rights; interfaith collaboration and understanding, and; promotion of and respect for the rights for women and girls.
Local civil society organizations (including non-governmental organizations) and other institutions working at the local level are encouraged to apply. Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental, multilateral and regional organizations can be eligible for a contribution, provided that they are working with local partners and on local projects that are consistent with Canada's five development priorities. Similarly, municipal, regional or national government institutions may receive CFLI funding, provided that their projects are essentially local in nature.
All interested parties should request a project application form which will be provided by the High Commission and submitted it to: firstname.lastname@example.com

The 2013 Parade of Homes hosted by the Home Builders Association of Greater Kalamazoo didn't have as much on offer this year as in years past, reports the Kalamazoo Gazette ("2013 Parade of Homes: Quality beat quantity for the Home Builders Association of Greater Kalamazoo," by Al Jones). It's not a good year for spec houses, commented HBA marketing director Amanda Kuchnicki: "People aren't able to build a spec home and float it until it's sold," Kuchnicki said. "They are more looking for a home that is already bought."
That meant only 21 houses in the Parade, down from 41 in previous years, Kuchnicki said. But she said local people made 32,000 visits to houses in the show, with each attendee viewing 8 or more houses on average.

Mehserle trial day 2: Oscar Grant's friend sobs on stand
Mass protest Monday, June 14, 7 a.m. all day at LA Courthouse, 210 W. Temple at Broadway – Come when you can
Minister of Information JR of Block Report Radio interviews Thandisizwe Chimurenga on the Mehserle trial – first broadcast June 9 on KPFA's Flashpoints
by Thandisizwe Chimurenga
Jamil Dewar had filmed some of the events the morning of Jan. 1, 2009, on the Fruitvale BART station platform with his cell phone camera.
Although the video does not actually show Grant being shot by Mehserle, Dewar broke down, sobbing uncontrollably, as the court heard the sound of Mehserle's gun go off in the video. His mother rushed to the witness stand to console him, also weeping, as the court went into recess for lunch.
Dewar, who was 15 years old at the time of Grant's death, was one of five individuals at the BART station who captured various portions of the chaos on film.
Prior to Dewar taking the stand Friday, the court heard from Karina Vargas, Tommy Cross and Daniel Liu. The prosecution was continuing its theme of establishing the video evidence in the case, begun Thursday afternoon, by calling the New Year's Eve BART riders who had shot the videos of the Mehserle shooting. Maragarita Carazo, who was called to the stand Thursday, was the first to testify.
Four common threads bound all of the previous four witnesses' testimony: All began filming due to the aggression they say they either saw or heard from officer Tony Pirone; all stated that Oscar Grant was cooperative the whole time and that his hands were behind his back; all stated that Mehserle was holding his gun with both hands in front of him, and all said that Mehserle had a shocked look on his face.
Michael Rains, attorney for the defense in the case, took the opportunity to briefly cross-examine all of the witnesses on their testimony, mainly focusing on their perceptions of Mehserle's facial expression after Grant was shot.
Rains' questioning of Dewar however took on a different tone. Using transcripts of Dewar's testimony during a preliminary hearing in May of 2009, Rains first attempted to elicit evidence of gang activity and whether or not Grant was the aggressor in the scuffle that led to BART police being called to the Fruitvale station.
Dewar's recollections were inconsistent even though Rains took the opportunity to read back portions of his testimony to him. At one point Rains asked if Dewar did in fact give false testimony during the preliminary hearing, wherein Dewar stated he hadn't meant to.
An expert witness in numerous criminal trials who observed the day's proceedings, Alonso said he felt that Rains' questioning was out of line.
"And while the defense attorney was asking all these questions, I noticed that the prosecution did not object … and allowed this questioning to go on for several minutes until the judge actually requested a sidebar," said Alonso. "I felt that the judge maybe saw that the line of questioning was irrelevant …."
Rains ended his cross-examination of Dewar by asking why the young man didn't break down emotionally in May of 2009 when he saw his video played back the way he did today.
Dewar answered that he hadn't seen the video any more since that time.
The trial will resume Monday, June 14, at 8:30 a.m., while the local Oscar Grant Justice Coalition will have a day-long protest in front of the courthouse beginning at 8 a.m.

Although they did not call it Moral Monday, protesters showed up at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison in 2011 to oppose the rightward lurch of state government there.
In one protest, 25,000 people demonstrated. In another 30,000. In a third, as many as 100,000 protested. It became a large national story. It led to a recall election against GOP Gov. Scott Walker and several Republican lawmakers.
In the end, Walker survived the recall, as did the majority of Republican lawmakers. The legislation passed, taking away the ability of public-sector unions to bargain collectively over pensions and health care, and limiting pay raises of public employees to the rate of inflation. And Walker became a national figure and a hero to many conservatives.
The size of the protests in Madison were unprecedented anywhere in the country, said Charles Franklin, a professor of law and public policy at Marquette University law school. Despite that, the governor got everything he wanted in the bills that were subsequently passed. I think that is a demonstration that large public protests do not necessarily lead a unified, partisan government in both houses of the legislature, plus the governor, to change their views.
If anything, Franklin said, the protests, helped unify Wisconsins Republican Party and politically strengthened Walker. That raises the question of whether the growing protest movement at North Carolinas Legislative Building will bear fruit.
There are some similarities between Wisconsin and North Carolina. Both are moderate swing states that have seen a sharp swing to the right in their elected leadership. The conservative Koch brothers have been involved in both states. Walker campaigned for Pat McCrory last year.
Different time, different issues
But the issues are different. Wisconsin has been a strong union state, while North Carolina is the least unionized state in the country. The protests in Madison were driven by the labor movement; the protests in Raleigh are being driven by civil rights groups.
Unlike Wisconsin, the North Carolina protesters are engaging in civil disobedience subjecting themselves deliberately to arrest to call attention to policies they dont like, including voting rights, health care, unemployment benefits and environmental legislation. So far, 160 have been arrested, and the protests are scheduled to continue Monday.
There is little evidence, so far, that the protests are having an effect on the GOP lawmakers, who believe their policies are right for North Carolina. But the protests are beginning to draw attention from the national media.
Having covered the late Sen. Jesse Helms for most of his 30 years in the Senate, I can tell you that protests and negative news stories are likely to be seen as badges of honor. Most GOP lawmakers couldnt care less if comedian Jon Stewart makes fun of the state.
Sometimes parallels are drawn between the civil disobedience of the civil rights movement of the 1960s and the current arrests. But often those earlier demonstrators were playing to a national audience. It was Congress, not Southern legislatures, that ultimately passed the groundbreaking civil rights laws.
What will swing voters think?
The Moral Monday arrests could help re-energize the left although if the Republicans have not managed to fire up Democrats by now, the party does not have a pulse. Will it also energize the right, which may be complacent now that state government is in their hands?
A more critical question is how swing voters will view the protests and the arrests. If the Democrats are ever to regain control, that is the group they must win.
The argument from proponents is that the protests are helping shine a bright light on the actions of the legislature. But there is also a risk that some independents could be alienated by the tactics.

OK, so I need to apologize to my loyal readers: and I know you are there--HOW? Because so many of you came to visit yesterday despite there being no new post for a week. This means I broke the promise I made to you just recently, and my life is out of control.
Well, maybe not completely out of control, but time seems to be at a premium.
There is time for sleeping (some times, when I am not on call), time for eating (most days, but not all), time for family (especially when I fly to Boston to see my daughter, son-in-law and grandson), time for taking care of me (really?), time for friends whose children both young and grown are giving them fits), time for shopping (a few major holidays are on the way). Oh, did I mention time to go to work, take care of patients, deliver and write up yearly performance reviews, solve problems, recruit new physicians, run committees and attend meetings? I also have make time to read 1200 pages of background materials in advance of attending a national committee meeting for the American Academy of Pediatrics later this week, to be held in Tuscon--three plane rides away.
And then there is time for social media and blogging, or not.
I love this blog. I love TO blog. I know it therefore follows that I would naturally make time to blog.
And I do.
Until I find that I love something more, or I am more inclined to do something else, or I am more compelled to complete a specific task on my "to do" list. So I do find the time. Its just that when I find it, there isn't very much of it. And so it goes.....
And so it goes. I am not COMplaining. I am EXplaining to you, my devoted readers, why I have disappointed you this week. And it's not that I have been slacking off and lazy. I have been working on it. I have four or five drafts of posts in varying degrees of "done-ness" on a variety of topics. I want to finish the one on performance reviews sooner rather than later. Then there is one on the nature of diversity in medicine, one on why hospital acquired infections are so hard to prevent, one on change in healthcare, and one on the perils of paying medical students to work in health-related fields. They all need fact checking, grammar checking, and multiple revisions before they are done. They need to be read and re-read before they are ready for YOU to see them. I have time for this, but just not enough, and just not right now.
So, this is where you come in. Write something for me, to me, to share here. It could be about how you spend your time, the things you try to make time for, but just can't seem to manage, or it could be advice for me or others who seem to have some difficulty managing all the time sinks in their lives. Or anything you'd like to write about. Knowing we have a community growing here at this site keeps me going, helps me devote the time even when other tasks are calling and demanding their share, fair or otherwise.
Forgive me, and thanks for stopping by.

Who has time for anything? Haha. I would rather read your blog posts when they are well thought out and not rushed, so TAKE your time! Time is just one of those things that we will never have enough of unless we allow ourselves to use it for what we think is best and not worry about the things we can't get done (I should take my own advice).
Alice Ackerman M.D. replied on Permalink
Thanks, Heather. Some things are definitely easier said than done.
Alice Ackerman M.D. replied on Permalink
Becca, Ahh motherhood. I think you are right--to a certain extent. When I was a working mom (well, I still am a working mom, but my children are grown) I was very stressed, thinking or feeling that my kids might be missing out by not having enough of my time. I had to cut some corners, both at work and at home. I postponed many things I wanted to do (getting my MBA, for example) and I had to settle for less than perfect in my housekeeping, cooking (your dad did most of that)and crafting. But we all survived. And one day when you were about ten, we were talking about my busy schedule and I think I was suggesting I might quit and stay at home with the three of you. You told me that although I might not always be at home when you wanted me, it was clear that I was happy to be with my kids when I was able to be. Apparently that wasn't always the case for the stay-at-home moms among your friends. Made me feel happy, and let me know that the corners I was cutting were not harming you in any way.
Thanks for writing. I am amazed at all you manage to get done.
Alice Ackerman M.D. replied on Permalink
Lauren, Thanks for caring enough to find the TIME to read and leave a comment :)
Becca replied on Permalink
Well...I read this last night and was about to reply "I would write a reply if I had more time." But I didn't even have enough time to write that. So now that it is the next day, and my son (your grandson) is napping, I have exactly 2 hours free. Not free really, but usable. In that 2 hours, I have to unload the dishwasher, load the dishwasher, take a shower, blow dry my hair, change the laundry, pay bills, send out emails to fulfill my responsibilities as managing director of my acapella group, work on my grad school applications, and eat lunch. If I can find 5 extra minutes during that time, I will work on the advent calendar I am making for my son (I'm running out of time because the 1st of December is tomorrow) and respond to my mother's blog post. I always thought stay-at-home moms were lucky because they had all the time in the world. But I can't tell you how often I find myself wishing I had a job to go to just so I could get something done. My peers with office jobs seem to have much more down time than I do.

Hello Dr Ackerman,
In reading the paper today, I ran across the article regarding Lewis Gales appeal to establish a NICU. While I am not sure what you can share on the idea, several questions entered my mind and hopefully you can shed some light on the situation. I am somewhat familiar with Lewis Gale as they were not prepared as a facility to treat my son back in 2008. He was 8yrs at the time. The lack of Pediatric Specialists and devoted team to the Pediatric patients left the care lacking in many ways. Thankfully we were transferred over to your Childrens Hospital and have sought care there when needed either with the hospital or ongoing with the Pediatric Pulmonology group. How would Lewis Gale with a NICU be able to provide specialized care and support to these babies if they do not have a dedicated group of Pediatric Specialists in the various fields?
Alice Ackerman M.D. replied on Permalink
Dear Karen,
This is an excellent question. While I cannot comment specifically on the situation you mention, I can tell you that the Commonwealth of Virginia has a lengthy set of rules that governs the care of neonates, and specifies levels of NICU care. Much of that revolves around access to pediatric sub-specialists as you mentioned, such as pediatric pulmonary, GI, genetics, and surgery, among others. In addition, it specifies the minimum number of beds that should be in a NICU to allow reasonable access to those specialists. If you don't have a large enough patient population, you cannot attract those pediatric specialists. In addition, the regulations specify other services that must be available for certain levels of care. There are many hospitals throughout our state that have lower level NICUs without the variety of sub-specialists available. Those lower level NICUs or special care units can provide care for infants born at a certain gestational age, and with a certain number of limited medical problems. Any infants requiring a higher level of care must be transferred to another center where the care is available. One nearby example of what is known as a "level II NICU" is the NICU at Centra Health in Lynchburg. Neonates there who require surgery or sub-specialty care must be transferred to Carilion or to UVA, but many of the bigger premies are cared for there without a problem. The health commissioner is bound by the regulations in making decisions regarding whether or not to allow a new NICU to be created. She has to take into account the impact on any currently operating NICU in the area. For example, any existing NICU has to be quite full much of the time, in order to justify the creation of a new unit.
You are very perceptive in asking questions about the access to sub-specialists. This is a problem that all of the Children's Hospitals in Virginia are struggling with right now. Those include Inova Fairfax in Northern Virginia, Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters in the Southeast, VCU-Richmond Children's Hospital, UVA Children's Hospital, and Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital. There are not enough of these sub-specialists to meet the demand, and we are considering trying to share some of the ones in shortest supply. Supporting them requires having a certain number of patients so that a hospital can have more than one (not even the most dedicated doctor wants to be on call every night), and recruit the best available. Because of the extensive training they have undergone, they are typically more expensive to hire than general pediatricians, but because their patients are so complex, they spend more time with them during a visit, and therefore collect less total money from insurance companies than general pediatricians, as they see fewer total patients in a day, a week or a year. That is why most general hospitals never get to the point of wanting to have a comprehensive children's center. It is simply too expensive.
We are fortunate to have a wide variety of subspecialists at CCCH, and I am grateful that this allows us to keep children like your son in the region. Otherwise, children requiring sub-specialty pediatric care would routinely have to travel to Charlottesville, Winston-Salem, Richmond or Durham for excellent care. Sometimes that is still necessary for some very rare or complex conditions.
I hope I have addressed your question adequately. If not, I would be happy to have an off-line conversation any time. Just let me know, and thanks again, for stopping by.

Thanks Vanessia. I did have fun in Tuscon! It was wonderful. Then it took me an extra day to get home than it should have, so much of the good I experienced there was lessened by the time I got home. Ah but still I was refreshed and invigorated. Thanks for stopping by.

Dack: We owe fans a huge apology
8:50am Monday 21st January 2013 in Newport County By Michael Pearlman
NEWPORT County owe their fans a big apology for a very poor performance, according to the Exiles' assistant manager Jimmy Dack.
County went down 2-0 to bottom of the Conference Barrow at Rodney Parade on Saturday, squandering a chance to return to the top of the table.
Supporters turned up at 8.30am and spent four hours helping to clear snow from the pitch on a day that went from bad to worse thereafter.
Not only did County lose out, but they also saw Conference top scorer Aaron O'Connor stretcher-ed off with a potentially serious injury.
O'Connor "heard something pop" in his thigh and faces a scan in the next 48 hours that will determine the extent of the damage.
It was far from the day the impressive volunteers would've wished for and Dack, who stood in for Justin Edinburgh who didn't want to talk to the press, explained the frustration and regret the management team felt.
"What we have to say to the fans is we are really disappointed and we let you all down, because you did brilliantly to get the game on.
"We started the game with not the right attitude and Barrow deserved their win, they deserved to beat us and were better than us all over the park.
"We (Edinburgh and Dack) tried everything, we tried to change the shape and the personnel and it just wasn't to be, we were really disappointing.
"We've had a bad day at the office and have missed the opportunity to go to top, that's massively disappointing.
"The fans wanted the game on to go top of the league and we let them down, we were really poor.
"We are in and out of late at home and that's not something we can afford if we want to win the league.
"The fans deserve a lot more, they've come out in the freezing cold and we apologise, it was a dismal performance.
"Our game plan was the same as always but the execution was wrong.
"We were playing too much long ball, we were telling them to do otherwise but we couldn't seem to do that."
Dack revealed that the club are hopeful O'Connor's injury won't be serious, but has challenged the other players to step up in his absence.
"Aaron is a big miss because of his goals, but the players can't keep relying on Aaron, we've got to share the workload and the goals, we need to improve that all over the park," he said.
"We could've been out there for the rest of the week and I don't think we'd have scored a goal.
"I don't think it's hopefully as bad as we first thought with the way he went down, he's up and about now, he felt a pop when he went for a strike at goal.
"It seems to have settled down, we are hopeful but we won't know until we do the scan."

I know we're all disappointed after Saturday (I was gutted), but let's not go overboard with the criticism and shoot butterflies with rifles after a poor performance (remember everyone singing from the rooftops after Wrexham and Lincoln). We are still SECOND in the league and there is still a lot to play for. This is our best team and manager in decades - remember that
er it is very frustrating !!

What I find a serious problem is the manager running away in the opposite direction from the press. He needs to get a dose of Management 101 and face up to his responsibilities . The buck stops here at the managers feet, What a pathetic response from the leader of the troops !!!! Not sure of him now . The BOD need to have a serious word with this guy.You need to be leading up front more than ever when the sh** hits the fan, not turning your back .
Fair play to Jimmy Dack for facing the music but I have to agree with cambridge 4x4, it's the managers responsibility.
PS pathetic display from our players apart from Michael Flynn who gave a good account of himself, time to pull your socks up guys, that display was awful!!

edinburgh should have spoken to the press and made his apologies for the very poor display, not left jimmy dack to make excuses
speaks a bit of dodging the bullet. he did that before after losing to lincoln 2-0 last year.
its justin's team so he has to try and explain why they played so crap, or put up some defence.
as for the contributor adrian williams comments about not panicking yet, yes we are somehow still in second place, but i have to agree with jetspotter why SOO MANY INEPT PERFORMANCES have happened since YATEGATE.
i fear that we will eventuallly RUN OUT OF TIME excusing the BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE.
get it together county and make your superiority show, because the first 17 games of the campaign were no fluke and you showed what an entertaining, solid unit you were .

No consistency
We charge forward in numbers but when the attack breaks down we don't get back.
We have a goalkeeper who is hopeless on crosses and never seems to move off his line and always looks for someone else to blame (no clean sheets). Pidgeley who played well to help put us top of the league doesn't get a look in.
The midfield don't pull their weight in defence.
All the above and we do nothing but sign forwards.
I'm starting to think that we are just not good enough to get promotion but hopefully the message will get home for next season.

In this league you can't easily drop players as you still have to pay them. There's limited options on the bench and limited funds for replacements, so empty threats to drop players achieve nothing. JE has to pick them up for Tuesday and the rest of the season.

I spend a lot of money to see the games ---by choice so I suppose I should not complain, ----but just feel that the whole organization needs a shake . From the Manager to the players to the Admin team .They should understand this is the closest to our "goal" for over 20 years. At least 2,000 of us want to see it happen , but you look around and wonder if the people who can really make it happen have the same commitment as those who spend good money at RP. The manager and players have been taken apart in this column and although nowhere near a relegation crisis, I think there are people here taking a salary who do not deserve one . Total effort from now until April is what we all want to see on the park, blood needs to be spilt. If players cant understand simple instructions we either need to educate them or get them out . The non playing team is also significant in all this ---not sure what are they doing . At least start to act professional and clean up adverts for games that past us 3 weeks ago . It is a top to bottom hard talk required to get us back on track .---with no one exempt. But I will still be there !!.

Thursday, authorities announced Casey Frederiksen faces murder and sexual abuse charges in the 2005 murder of five-year-old Evelyn Miller in Floyd County.
Back in July, KWWL visited with Richard and Linda Christie, Evelyn's grandparents, at the seven year anniversary of her disappearance. At the time, they felt charges were near--police knew who was responsible and it was just a matter of putting the pieces together. Now, seeing charges finally come to light, there's a flood of emotions for the family, mostly a sense of relief.
"There's a flicker of hope but I have to tell you that as each day passes on, that flicker of hope fades," Linda Christie said.
That's the truth she and husband Richard Christie have lived with for seven years: having no answers about how their five-year-old granddaughter, Evelyn Miller, was killed--and who was responsible.
While they've long suspected their son's friend, Casey Frederiksen, was involved--it's still hard to accept.
"We really didn't want it to be Casey, in our heart of hearts. But the preponderance of evidence would back up the state's belief that he is the person responsible and I think they will prove so in court," said Richard Christie.
Even still, Evelyn's grandparents say Frederiksen deserves a fair trial. But knowing what he's accused of, they're nowhere near ready to forgive him.
For now, they'll continue clinging to memories of their beloved granddaughter and praying justice is done.
"We have a house full of pictures, pictures on the computer we go through from time to time," Richard Christie said.
"She will be my little prink princess in the sky, always," said Linda Christie.
Also back in July, the Christie's told KWWL they were working to establish a fund in Evelyn's memory for others affected by child homicide. For now, that's on hold until Casey Frederiksen is put on trial.

Polishing the terminal window with Bashish
Bashish adds a dash of style to the command line.
If you are a regular command line user, you may appreciate the spartan appearance of the terminal window. But for occasional shell users, or readers who would prefer a more playful approach, Bashish [1] opens a treasure trove of options. Bashish gives your terminal window a colorful ASCII graphic background.
Bashish lets you liven up the appearance of terminal programs such as Gnome Terminal, Xterm, Rxvt, Rxvt Unicode, Aterm, Mlterm, and the Linux Console, and you can change a limited range of settings such as the title bar in the Konsole KDE terminal emulation window. Bashish developer, Thomas Eriksson, is planning additional support for Konsole. He recommends using the bash shell, although the program will support other shells such as Zsh and Tcsh.

Nerendra Jeet Singh, a Sikh cyclist, went to court in New South Wales (NSW), Australia over a fine for a bicycle helmet. He escaped the fine, after arguing that his identity and his religion are of prime importance. He mentioned that Sikhs have exemptions from wearing bicycle helmets in Canada. In South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria, Sikhs can have an exemption from wearing helmets.
A government official tried to justify the legislation by regurgitating the usual nonsense:
"Wearing a secure helmet reduces the risk of brain or head injury by up to 60 per cent"
This is based on an old discredited "study" commissioned by the government. The number of people who believe such nonsense is dwindling. The government fails to mention that helmets increase the risk of accident and injury.
Increasingly, people who challenge a helmet fine in court escape it. In NSW, the defence of necessity allows people to break a law to avoid even more dire consequences. Bicycle helmets increase the risk of accident and can cause brain injury. To avoid these dire consequences, cyclists can ignore the helmet law.
This might explain why the police now rarely book cyclists for not wearing a helmet in NSW (except occasionally on the Pyrmont bridge in Sydney). It is pointless harassment: most people give up cycling, those who prefer to keep riding can challenge the fine in court.
In Victoria, Alan Todd successfully challenged a helmet fine in court, avoiding the fine.
In Queensland, Jasdeep Atwal successfully challenged a helmet fine in court, asserting the rights of the Sikhs to ride bicycles. The efforts of the Sikh community have led the government to reform the law to add religious exemptions from the helmet law in Queensland.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
I am writing to congratulate the School Committee on its move to place a school resource officer — hopefully a Gloucester police officer — at Gloucester High School.
It is a step in the right direction. At the recent public hearing on school security, our new police chief acknowledged that a police officer would act as a deterrent to an armed assailant. It seems an obvious point. Since crazy isn't necessarily stupid, those who wish to attack the defenseless are far less likely to attack if they may be stopped.
Having worked with my daughter, Amanda Kesterson, a mother of three who saw the Sandy Hook massacre of 20 children and six adults as a warning that Gloucester should focus much more attention on school security, I witnessed some disturbing actions by our city government.
First, it is crystal clear that certain city employees and some elected officials made it a point to complicate the process in which citizens could address their concerns to their elected representatives. Irrespective of your view on this issue, I believe most would agree that access to our elected officials should be open.
Discussion is always a good; ideas are born of the free exchange of views. The actions taken to block access was shameful and, I believe, a violation of the city charter. Even when 343 citizens signed a petition, two School Committee members, Roger Garberg and Kathy Clancy, voted to deny the right of the people to be heard.
These actions should disturb every citizen, as access is critical in a democracy.
Second, at the public hearing, a number of speakers advanced the belief that the presence of a Gloucester police officer in the schools would scare and intimidate the children. One speaker went so far as to state that a police officer would cause the children to feel unsafe.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Do we not teach our children to dial 911 in an emergency? Do we not teach our children that police officers are their friends and to seek out the police when threatened?
Advancing negative stereotypes of our police does harm to the Police Department, the community; and, especially, to our children. I imagine this negative depiction of our police must have been painful for Mayor Kirk and Police Chief Campenello to hear.
I trust that, as with the D.A.R.E. program, when police were routinely in the schools, this action by the School Committee to place a trained professional police officer in our high school will result in an enhanced comfort level for students, teacher, and parents.
And, it should be the first step in enhancing our children's safety while administrators, teachers, and students focus on the goal of education.
JOSEPH M. ORLANDO, Esq.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott says the man who died after leading deputies on a chase ending in a shootout on Broad River Road northwest of Columbia Thursday evening had stolen a truck and a gun the day before.
Saturday, Richland County Coroner Gary Watts identified the man as 34-year-old Kong Nay of Columbia. Watts said he has been unable to find Nay's family to notify them of his death, so he's asking anyone who can help locate his family to call his office at 576-1799.
During a news conference Friday, the sheriff said Nay had been arrested in the past for burglary and assault on a public official. In May, Nay's family asked Lott's department to assist in taking him for a mental evaluation with the hope that he would be committed to a mental health facility, the sheriff said. "He wasn't committed," said Lott."What prompted him to go on this crime spree, at this time we don't know," said Lott. "Just very fortunate that no one was injured except for the bad guy."According to Lott, the series of events that led up to the dangerous gunfight in a busy area of Broad River Road began on Wednesday when Nay allegedly stole a truck, a 9 millimeter pistol and three full bullet magazines from a home in the Harbison area.Just before 7 p.m. Thursday, Nay was then involved in an incident at the Sunoco gas station located at 4140 Broad River Road.
"A man walked in, told the persons working behind the counter that he wanted some gas and didn't have any money. He wanted $40 worth of gas." said Lott. "The people working the counter told him 'we can't do that, but we can give you $5.'" He wasn't happy with that offer so he showed them a pistol and demanded they turn on the pump, the sheriff said. When Nay went to the gas pumps, the convenience store employees locked the doors and called law enforcement. After checking the pumps and pointing a gun at the store employees through the window, Nay eventually went back to the truck he had stolen the night before and pulled away, Lott said. At that time, deputies pulled up and workers told them that the man had just driven away.During the ensuing chase on Broad River Road, Nay ran another vehicle off the road and then spun the truck out and hit a mailbox in front of Fatz, leaving the vehicle stopped on Broad River Road near Kennerly Road, Lott said.
"At that time our deputies stopped the vehicles, got out and started giving verbal commands to the individual inside the truck," said Lott. "He never responded. All of the sudden he rolled the window down and started shooting at the deputies."
Deputies returned fire, which prompted Nay to duck down in the vehicle and stop shooting, Lott said.
"They did not fire until they were fired upon," said Lott. "When he stopped shooting, we stopped shooting."
"He raised back up and started shooting again," said Lott. "Our deputies continued shooting."
The sheriff said the position in which the truck had stopped allowed for Nay to shoot in a dangerous direction -- towards Walgreens and Fatz.
"This was 7 o'clock. Both of those places were full of people," said Lott. "We did find some of his rounds that...landed in the middle of Broad River Road right in front of Walgreens."
Lott said Nay ducked down at least two more times during the gunfight.
During the exchange with the five Richland County deputies, Nay hit one patrol car at least four times and another patrol vehicle once, Lott said. One of the deputies involved in the shootout was hit in the boot but the officer was not injured.
"After the third time that he shot at us, our deputies were able to stop him from shooting," said Lott. "Basically he was dead at that point."
Lott said he counted at least 14 shell casings on the floorboard of the truck. "The pistol that the bad guy had been shooting holds 17 rounds," said Lott. "It had been shot dry."
"He was prepared to do whatever he could, evidently," said Lott. "Being armed with such a high-powered pistol but also the many rounds that he had."
Lott believes the deputies' actions during the chase and shootout were justified. "Our deputies acted very bravely last night," said Lott. "Their training assisted them in doing their job very professionally."
The chase and shootout was recorded on a camera inside one of the patrol vehicles. That video has not yet been made public.
The deputies received counseling Thursday night and will continue to receive counseling until they can return to full duty, Lott said.
The intersection of Kennerly and Broad River Roads was closed for several hours during the investigation, but was open in time for the Friday morning commute.
SLED is investigating the shooting.

Turner County Elementary was First Lady Sandra Deal's last stop this month for her Read Across Georgia Initiative.
After reading a children's book by a Georgia author and illustrator, the First Lady told students to practice reading with their families and to continue reading during school breaks.
Deal says the initiative is for students to learn and help them become successful members of Georgia communities.
"We're trying to make sure children all over the state know how important reading is. We don't want to leave anybody out. We want every child in this whole state to be able to read and to be successful,"said Deal.
The plan for the initiative was for the First Lady to read to at least one school in each of Georgia's 180 school systems.
If she is not able to stop by all of them in the next month or two, she plans to continue the readings next year.

Hurray for May Bloom Day! Thanks to May Dreams Gardens for hosting Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day! Our backyard is the bloomiest it's EVER been. People at work have said I've crossed over to "Flower Floozy" land, and I think they might be right even though I keep denying it. This container is full of Viola 'Tiger Eyes', Viola nigra 'Bowles Black', Viola 'Etain' with Satureja douglasii (Yerba Buena) creeping around. There's some Aeoniums hanging out, too.
This is our blue/orange container I planted back in early April. I'm liking it so far. There's a bumble bee checking out Linaria reticulata
'Flamenco'. I'm hooked on the Cerinthe retorta and Cheiranthus x allionii.
