Corbett Avoiding A PA 'Right-To-Work' Legislative Push
HARRISBURG PA — On the surface, Pennsylvania may look like the next front in an ongoing battle between Republicans and big labor which flared up in Michigan last week as lawmakers there approved so-called "right-to-work" legislation. Don't expect it to happen here anytime soon, though, The Pennsylvania Independent online news service reported Friday (Dec. 14, 2012).
All is quiet on the labor front in Pennsylvania, at least for right now, The Independent reported, and Gov. Tom Corbett indicated he does not plan on changing that.
Like Michigan – and Indiana and Ohio, where similar battles have occurred — Pennsylvania has a Republican governor and a Republican-controlled Legislature. Like those other states, it has a long history of powerful labor unions.
During an appearance last week on a Philadelphia talk radio show, however, Corbett said Pennsylvania lacks "the will" to pass right-to-work legislation. It was not a top priority for him as the Legislature gears up for a new session in January, he said.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - It was a night of celebration at the Albany Barack Obama Headquarters, where supporters gathered to watch the election returns. And when the announcement came that Obama had won the election, wild cheers erupted from the crowd packed into the small room.
Then confetti and high fives. And lots of tears and hugs. For the South Georgia supporters of Barack Obama, the announcement of his Presidential victory set off a celebration.
Dr. Charles King, Junior said "This is not only something for African Americans to celebrate, but for everyone to celebrate. Because it represents togetherness. Everybody to come together and that's what we need for this country to be better."
After the cheers, they sang a hymn, and then said a prayer. A prayer that America comes out of this election to join together for the future.
Dr. Lillian Robinson said "This means closure for some, a new beginning for others, a celebration for all of us.
These Obama supporters say they hope his election can end what they call the division of America, and lead to great things.

Okanagan Regional Library has received official support from the District of Summerland Council for their plans for a new library building in Summerland.
After an extensive public consultation with patrons and other interested stakeholders in Summerland, an initial design was drafted by architects from Urban Arts Architecture. These plans were supported by district staff and the Summerland Design Committee, resulting in a successful presentation and adoption by council at their August 25th meeting.
Board Chair Catherine Lord was pleased with the evening's results. "We knew going into this project that the District of Summerland was committed to streamlining the approval process as much as possible to meet our aggressive timelines, and we also knew that by doing our homework and coming up with an excellent, community-supported design we would make council's job easy. We have an excellent team led by ORL Finance Manager Don Nettleton, along with Tango Management."
The plans include ample meeting space within the library for a variety of uses, a special teens area and an outdoor reader's terrace.
Library patron Linda Noble is excited about the new plans. "We need more space and we need it yesterday!" she exclaimed. "I really like the community area and I'm excited about the self-checkouts. It will be great for the librarians to have a quiet place for themselves to take proper breaks, and also more room for books and cds. I love that the library is going on Main Street – this will really dress up downtown Summerland and make it easier for newcomers to find the library."
The entire project will be paid for by the Okanagan Regional Library from their building reserve funds, on land that was purchased from local landowners, Sean and Colleen Greenwood, and the District of Summerland.
Safety fencing will be going up around the site on September 2nd and demolition of the existing buildings will commence shortly. An official ground-breaking ceremony will be held in mid-September.
Questions about this project can be directed to Michele Rule, Communications Manager for the Okanagan Regional Library, at email@example.com.

State now third-largest dairy producer
ALBANY — New York state is now the third largest producer of milk in the entire country, passing Idaho in 2013 by 57 million pounds, according to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
Data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirms that this is the first time since 2009 that New York has ranked third nationally in milk production after previously holding the number-three spot from 1972 to 2009. Compared to 2012, New York's milk production increased by 2.2 percent in 2013 compared to 0.4 percent growth nationwide.
This strong growth represents the fourth consecutive year that New York has registered an increase in milk production. This growth is due to increased demand for milk, thanks in large part to the state's booming yogurt industry, coupled with higher milk production per cow which increased by 10.2 percent from 2009 to 2013. New York is also the number-one producer of cream cheese and cottage cheese in the country.
"New York State has recaptured its spot as one of the top three milk producers in the country, proving that our efforts to create new economic opportunities for the dairy industry are working," Cuomo said. "Milk production is fueling thousands of jobs across Upstate New York, revitalizing communities and providing a variety of nutritious products for millions of consumers across the country."
The dairy industry is New York's leading agricultural sector, accounting for more than one-half of the state's total agricultural receipts. The increased milk supply has been very important in helping to meet the growth in the production of yogurt by plants located in New York state. In 2012, New York's yogurt production was 695 million pounds.

The Clippers open their season AT home on Oct. 31 against the Grizzlies. Clippers will play on Christmas day at home vs the Nuggets. Which game is must watch/attend for you?
J.Raffo- 7/27 8:00am - Clipper Steve sent me an email informing me of his pending analysis. While we wait for that make the jump to see excerpts of the Clips press release from yesterday. (You can find the whole thing here. And the schedule in various forms here.) The NBA version is here.
From the Clippers press release:

This is a sad day, my friends.
One of the cornerstones of our franchise, a man who was here through feast and through famine, who captured our hearts and our souls, is gone forever, riding off into the sunset on a white horse.
I know I will never forget where I was* when I learned that the Seahawks had cut Darren Fells.
But do not be sad, gentle Twelves, for while he may be gone from this plane, his memory lives on in our hearts. I like to think there's a Darren Fells in all of us. His [number not assigned] jersey will share a proud space on my wall next to my signed neon green Lofa Tatupu jersey* so that that I may pass his legend on to on to my children, once they get around to actually existing. Lazy theoretical kids. You didn't get this kind of thing in my day.
I know that we can never truly replace such a Seattle legend, but we'll all have to manage the best we can.
*I was on the toilet surfing the interwebs, in case anyone was wondering.
**He wrote "Best wishes [my real name]." Oh my god! Lofa Tatupu knows who I am!

Bumped. Not the first time this year we have seen anti-Bruin garbage from an SI.com writer. GO BRUINS. -N
In SI today, Seth Davis penned an article bemoaning the Bruins' ranking.
I'm sorry to hate on my fellow voters, but there is no logic -- none -- to have UCLA ranked ahead of Arizona. And not just ahead, but nine spots ahead. Was I hallucinating, or did Arizona just spank UCLA by 12 points last week? Yes, the game was in Tucson, but it's not like Arizona was a fluke; it was the Wildcats' seventh-straight win. It's time for voters and fans to come to a cold realization about UCLA. The Bruins have yet to beat a team that is currently ranked in the top 25. They have a chance to rectify that when they get No. 22 Washington at home on Thursday night, but for the time being, UCLA is overrated.
No logic? Apparently, they don't teach that course at Duke (I took logic from the esteemed Donald Kalish at UCLA, so I know what I am talking about.) Here is some logic:
- UCLA dismantled Arizona 83-60 a few weeks ago.
- Arizona is 2-6 on the road, with the only wins coming against the Oregon schools and bad losses to Stanford and Texas A&M. Only 2 of these 6 losses was by single digits.
- UCLA is ahead of Arizona in the Pac-10 standings, even though Arizona still has to play at ASU and at Washington and has only 2 remaining home games.
- In the last 3 weeks, UCLA has outscored its opponents, including 2 bubble teams (USC, Notre Dame) and an NCAA tourney lock (Cal) by an average of 12 points, even if you include the two losses this past weekend.
- Louisville lost to Notre Dame by 33 points, yet Davis ranks the 5-loss Louisville team (which also has losses to Western Kentucky (neutral court) and UNLV (home court)) 11th, an unknown number of spots ahead of Notre Dame.
- The Bruins are 7th in Pomeroy and 20th in Sagarin, Arizona is 33rd and 38th.
- The Bruins have not beaten a top-25 team, but they've only had 3 chances, two on the road. Sample size.
- Poll Rankings are a flawed measure to use to determine whether a team is deserving of a ranking. Had UCLA lost to Cal, Cal would be ranked and we'd be 0-4 against ranked teams. Flip side, if we had beaten ASU twice, ASU would have 7 losses and probably would not be ranked (the only ranked team with 7 losses is Syracuse), and if we had beated UW once, UW would have 7 losses and probably would not be ranked.
- Further to the prior point, in 2006, UCLA entered the NCAA tournament with a 1-4 record against ranked teams, the lone win coming against #21 Nevada, and losses to #3 Memphis, #17 Washington (twice) and #23 West Virginia. By Seth's logic, UCLA didn't deserve to be ranked. We all know what happened.
- Arizona has 8 losses on the season, and we only have 6.
- Our Pac-10 scoring margin is +7.8, Arizona's is +1.8.
All of those reasons point toward UCLA being ranked over Arizona. The only two factors that would put Arizona ahead of UCLA are the head-to-head victory (which is offset by our head-to-head victory by a greater margin) and that Arizona's beaten the 18th, 19th and 20th ranked teams at home (and UCLA, who doesn't deserve the ranking, so why would we count them) and is therefore 4-2 against ranked teams (3-1 if UCLA is not ranked).
And that leads to another reason why Arizona doesn't deserve to be ranked ahead of UCLA. The Wildcats have lost to 6 unranked teams. I don't know about you, but the list of reasons for UCLA being ranked ahead of Arizona far outweighs the reasons for Arizona to be ranked.
Put that in your pipe, Seth, and smoke it.
In other news, we'd better win on Thursday, or I'm going to go postal.

Legal Ethics
As Gov Leans on Wis. DA in Sext Case, AG Says Lawyer Discipline Group Didn't Do Its Job
Posted Sep 22, 2010 11:59 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
Updated: The governor of Wisconsin promised in a press conference earlier this week to seek the removal of a controversial district attorney accused of harassing two women and asking a third to attend an autopsy on a date, as soon as a citizen made the prerequisite complaint.
Now multiple citizens have stepped up to the plate, but none of the complaints is in the proper form, Gov. Jim Doyle said in a press conference. However, his office is working with the complainants to revise the complaints so that they are adequate to initiate a removal proceeding against Calumet County District Attorney Kenneth Kratz, reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Meanwhile, the Wisconsin attorney general is among those criticizing the state's Office of Lawyer Regulation for not taking action to discipline Kratz after he admittedly sent multiple text messages to a domestic abuse victim seeking a sexual relationship while overseeing the prosecution of her ex-boyfriend.
While his office found no criminal activity to prosecute concerning Kratz' conduct in office, the OLR—which did consider the matter but found no legal ethics violation—should have disciplined the DA and protected the public, AG J. B. Van Hollen tells the Fond du Lac Reporter.
"Do you deprive him of his livelihood forever? I don't know, depending what [the] investigation turns out, whether it's justified," Van Hollen said, when asked whether he thinks the OLR should have suspended the DA's law license, even permanently. However, "I don't know how you treat a victim like this and expect to continue to go on with your job as district attorney."
Kratz, who is receiving in-patient psychotherapy to address the situation, hopes to return to his job afterward, reports the Post-Crescent.
He has made a request for medical leave and, under the Wisconsin Family and Medical Leave Act, the state is required to give him two weeks off annually for any serious health condition and restore the employee to the same job or an equivalent job when he or she returns to work, the newspaper explains.
Qualifying health conditions include, the article says, "a disabling physical or mental illness, injury, impairment or condition requiring continuing treatment or supervision by a health care provider."

Sick and twisted. An evil and cowardly criminal. A soul of pure evil.
Those are some the descriptions relatives of Jeffrey Cutlip's victims had for the serial killer at his sentencing hearing.
A judge sentenced Cutlip to three consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of Marlene Carlson, 44, in 1975 and Julie Bennett, 15, in 1977; and Nielene Doll, 33, in 1993.
Convicted of sodomy and burglary in 1982, Cutlip was classified as a predatory sex offender in Oregon. Records show he spent much of the past three decades in and out of prison.
The murders remained unsolved until July 2012 when Cutlip, living in Texas, called Brownsville police to admit his involvement. He was arrested and extradited to Portland.
The confession
Detectives never expected Jeffrey Cutlip's confession to come like this.
In July 2012, the predatory sex offender called 911 in Texas.
"Hi, is this the police? I need to turn myself in," Cutlip said to the dispatcher.
He added, "I'm afraid people will find out and that's what's been scaring me."
Portland police cold case detectives had suspected Cutlip in two murders from the 1970s, the killings of Marlene Carlson, 44, in 1975 and Julie Bennett, 15, in 1977, but did not have enough evidence to arrest him until he confessed.
Cutlip would also admit killing Nielene Doll, 33, in 1993.
"He is, without a doubt, the single most evil person that I've ever encountered," said Det. Jim Lawrence.
The victims
Det. Lawrence began reviewing the death of Julie Bennett in 2008, after her family asked cold case investigators to take another look.
Julie Bennett's body was found in Johnson Creek in the spring of 1977 and her death was ruled an accidental drowning.
Her family never believed the shy and sweet teenager drowned, because their mother was a lifeguard and taught them all to swim when they were young.
They suspected Cutlip, the last person Julie Bennett was spotted with, had something to do with her death, but the creek's cold water destroyed evidence.
"I absolutely believed, based on other things we know about Jeff Cutlip that he was down at the park playing his guitar and once Julie Bennett approached him to talk to him about playing guitar, that she was not going to get away from Jeff Cutlip," Det. Lawrence said.
He kept her case file front and center on his desk, a reminder that he wanted to close the case one day.
Cold case detectives began suspecting Cutlip in Marlene Carlson's death when they realized Cutlip lived in the same apartment building as the victim in 1975.
After no one had seen the friendly mother of three for a week, officers found the woman bound inside her apartment. She'd been sexually assaulted and strangled to death. A padlock was placed outside the front door.
Despite their suspicions, there was not enough evidence to arrest Cutlip for either of the murders until he called 911.
"It was frustrating to wait, so when he finally did call the Brownsville police, I was ecstatic," said Det. Lawrence.
While talking to the 911 dispatcher, Cutlip named Bennett and described the killing of Carlson.
After Det. Lawrence and Det. Meredith Hopper flew to Brownsville, they determined Cutlip had also killed Nielene Doll after meeting her at a bar in Portland.
Her body was found in rural Clackamas County.
"The second day after we were in Brownsville, when I was able to call Julie Bennett's sister and Marlene Carlson's daughter, their reaction is when we realized, this is what we do," said Det. Lawrence.
The sentencing
After Cutlip plead guilty to the three murders last fall, a Multnomah County judge sentenced him to three consecutive life sentences.
Cutlip kept his head down during the sentencing hearing, as relatives of the victims read emotional impact statements.
"We loved our mother very much. I was not close to her, but I had a chance to be close to her and you took that away from me," said Sheri Rekow, Carlson's daughter, told Cutlip. "I hope you rot in hell."
"Whatever the motive, I'm grateful to know the truth," said Julie Robinson, the youngest daughter of Marlene Carlson. "I'm grateful to close this chapter and end the searching and wondering of the last 38 years."
"We will never get to see Julie again in this lifetime or know what she might have chosen to do with her life as an adult, the family and children and life she might have had," said Sandra Bennett, sister of Julie Bennett. "All of these things were taken by this sickening, evil person that you see here before you."
"I no longer feel the need to confront him," said Rebecca Bennett Blick, Julie Bennett's sister. "I'm just very, very, very grateful he won't be out there again to do this to any other families."
Det. Hopper read a letter from the daughter of Nielene Doll during the sentencing hearing.
The woman wrote she was raised by another family, but tried to find her mother, only to learn Doll was killed weeks before.
Cutlip did not speak during the sentencing hearing or offer the victims an explanation for his crimes.
During the 911 call, Cutlip told the dispatcher that an officer he spoke with about his sex offender status made a comment that led him to start thinking about his crimes.
"It's been eating me ever since. I can't stand it," Cutlip said. "I can't stand the idea that people will hate me."
Det. Lawrence suspects Cutlip confessed for another reason.
He said Texas authorities cut off Cutlip's public benefits while he was awaiting trial for failing to register as a sex offender.
"I believe he did it to make sure that he got fed and got care for as long as he needs feeding and care," said Det. Lawrence. "I believe he turned himself in because he was tired of running and tired of being hungry and out on the streets."

I'm surprised at the Joe Buck hate.I think the guy is the most sports knowledgeable of the play-by-play guys. He knows a lot more than Jim Nance, who is dull, IMO. Al Michaels has been doing it forever, so he's pretty knowledgeable - but leaves a little to be desired on the comedy end. Mike Tirico doesn't suck, but he's nothing special. Of the Big 4 play-by-play guys, Joe Buck brings the best combo of knowledge and comedy, IMO.

Family members of a 13-year-old girl, who was murdered back in 2004, held a burial and memorial gathering, yesterday.
Amanda Lankey's body was found in the woods in White Cloud, in Newago County.
The Florida girl was visiting her grandparents.
Here memorial service took place yesterday, in Flat Rock.
Deputies say Lankey had been beaten to death.
They believe the girl snuck out to a friend's house to meet someone and never came back.
Investigators saved her skull and hands as evidence, and only recently released the remains.
A person of interest in the case committed suicide, in 2011.
Investigators have charged to others for lying to a Newago County Prosecutor.

Ain't none of us getting any younger…
Oh no – groin strain just before the wedding.
better still, it happened while chasing a young blonde.
should be fun to explain.
Beardo just wait until the 40 somethings swoosh past.
Yep, very true is a lot of instances.
This has happened to me running up a long flight of stairs. Some man-hating girl with something to prove ran by me laughing loudly and taunting me. My knees have improved since then though.
Hit it every day, don't worry about speed or distance, go just until you get tired. Some days you will be able to go 20 minutes others only 5. But if you do it every day to the limit you can each day, in a bit over a year you can run a marathon. Note I didn't say win.

The Milk Club's strange endorsement vote
The Harvey Milk Club has decided not to rescind its endorsement of Julian Davis for supervisor in District 5 -- although the vote may say more about the geopolitics of the race than the way the club members feel about Davis.
The club members had two resolutions in front of them Oct. 22, a night that also featured the third presidential debate and the do-or-die Giants game. The first resolution would have withdrawn the club's support for Davis, who lost most of his progressive endorsements after he was accused of groping a woman at a campaign event six years ago. The second would have given an unranked three-way endorsement to Sup. Christina Olague, John Rizzo, and Thea Selby.
Of course, the second resolution wouldn't even come up unless two-thirds of the club members voted in favor of the first.
And while a number of club members are as unhappy as the rest of the left about Davis's behavior, the real drama involved the efforts of other candidates in the race to prevent Olague from getting the nod.
Rizzo, president of the Community College Board, told me he showed up and voted against the first resolution. "I didn't campaign, I didn't organize, I just showed up for 15 minutes and voted no," he said. Rizzo's not supporting or working with Davis -- so why try to protect the guy's Milk Club endorsement? Well, Rizzo knows that Olague is a much bigger threat to him than Davis, whose campaign is on the ropes. So he voted in his own self-interest.
Rizzo agreed it was "very odd" for him to be in this position, but said he was campaigning to win and didn't want to see a front-running competitor getting a major club endorsement.
Gabriel Haaland, a longtime Milk Club member who supports Olague, wasn't happy with that. "In the end, I want a progressive supervisor," he said. "John and Christina are my top choices, but I don't want to see London Breed get elected."
Ah, that's the subtext here -- and it's a serious one. The left is worried about Breed, who's the beneficiary of a well-funded independent expenditure campaign by the San Francisco Association of Realtors. That group, which is also pushing hard to oust Eric Mar in District 1, wants to weaken the power of tenants on the Board of Supervisors, and sees Breed as friendly to that agenda.
Breed's a serious contender -- a lot of observers think that she and Olague are in a two-way race, although with ranked-choice voting, Rizzo is also very much in the running, as, potentially, is Thea Selby.
Breed's supporters didn't want to see the Milk Club go with Olague, either, and some showed up to vote against rescinding the Davis endorsement. Breed told me she wasn't actively involved: "I just wanted to stay out of it," she said. She acknowledged, though, that some of her supporters had told her about the meeting and "there were some people that went there."
In the end, Club President Glendon Hyde told me, the vote was 53 yes, 42 no -- far short of the two-thirds needed to reverse the endorsement.
There were, by all accounts, plenty of Davis supporters in the room. But it's likely that the combination of Breed supporters and Rizzo supporters was enough to sway the vote and ensure that the Milk Club retained Davis as its only choice.
Both Breed and Rizzo denied working together -- but the result was the same: The Milk Club is now about the only significant progressive group in the city still siding with Davis.
Time to vote the misogynist Milk Club off of the progressive island.
I was there, and a lot of the members were very upset at how this special vote to undo the endorsement was pushed down their throats. A lot of people feel that this six-year-old incident (or possible incident) is being pushed for political purposes. And the Olague/Rizzo/Selby faction did not work together in a proactive way to get to the two-thirds supermajority to revoke Davis.
The sponsors of these resolutions did not make a sufficient case to the jury, plain and simple.
There is definitely a split in the Milk Club between its moderate faction (folks with political jobs who take their cues from elected officials) and its hard-left, grassroots, progressive faction (folks who are poor and simply don't buy Kay's story at face value, and who really want Davis elected due to his progressive views).
your two groups didn't include run of the mill citizens?
Does any Democratic Club in San Francisco include run-of-the-mill citizens?
Overzealous of author Tim Redmond to fail to acknowledge that the Tenants Union, a major endorsement group for decades, continues to robustly back Davis. Other leading candidates are trying to obscure realtor-developer-BOMA ties and masquerade as the tenant-friendly choice. Do you want more developer sellouts to the likes of the 8 Washington crew that wants to ruin the waterfront, per Olague's voting record and Breed's backers? If so, then keep ignoring the Tenant Union's unbeholden wisdom in this race. What's happening at the Guardian? Why insult tenants and the Tenants Union with daily flacking for Olague (who you won't actually endorse) by hammering their candidate, Davis?
...considering the Club's support for Ross Mirkarimi.
When the SFWPC endorsed Newsom twice after his perpetrated sexual harassment and broke up a family, were they not self hating women as well whose actions were in sync with misogyny?
Is it the Milk Club's agenda to support Men who victimize Women?
Milk has not supported Newsom, have they?
London Breed has no chance of winning this race. There is no way Robert Haaland doesn't know that. Pretending that London Breed is a threat is nothing more than an excuse to hand a victory to BrownPakLee.
Talk about a post-modern echo chamber. SFBG deems the Davis campaign "imploded," therefore it is. Meanwhile, a major progressive group backs him (Milk Club), but that's just a political show. No way the elders of the Milk Club could possibly support Davis after SFBG threw him under the bus (in order to save face for backing Mirkarimi). In reality, however, that is exactly what happened. Davis' supporters were mostly turned away because they weren't eligible to vote--meaning everyone else was just regular rank-and-file. Meanwhile, Gabriel Holland is basically running Olague's campaign. Big surprise he's doing his alpha-male acts of aggression wherever he has influence (not any more, apparently).
Creating a self-fulfilling prophecy does not an "implosion" make. The race is still wide open, and when the dust settles, I wouldn't be surprised if Davis still comes out on top.
agree completely; you nailed, nothing further to say
and folks ought to stop feeling guilty about protecting their vote for a progressive sherriff
for the integrity of the city's charter and rule-of-law, and against political opportunism and sadism towards both an individual and his family.
"sheriff (Ross)" and "integrity" should not be used in the same sentence.
they have no knowledge or capacity.
Ross Mirkarimi has never conducted himself in any way except that demonstrating the highest degree of integrity. That's why the political machine hates him.
That's why.
It is amazing that you can type that with a straight face.
His family has retained its integrity after vicious onslaught by the same sleazebags who broke up the Tourke family.

...along with dozens of loyal supporters and campaign staffers/ volunteer
Jesus H. Christ you are a loser.
This is one powerhouse group here. LOLz.
Davis groped his way into oblivion. Deal.
You call Matt Gonzalez, Aaron Peskin, Harry Britt, Terrance Hallinan, Adam Werbach, John Burris, Mark Sanchez, Eileen Hansen (former Ethics Commissioner), and Clarence B. Jones, who was an advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "nobodies"?? What about the Harvey Milk Club, the Green Party, (on your ballot), SF Tenants Union, SF Bicycle Coalition, SF Bay View, SF League of Conservation Voters, National Union of Health Care Workers, SEIU 1021, etc.? Sorry, these are folks with a lot of clout. But you, Guest, are quite obviously a "nobody"...certainly nobody worth listening to.
These are the power brokers in SF. Nobody gets an endorsement from these folks unless they are prepared to vote in favor of their interests at all times. No different that The Burton/Brown/Pelosi Machine. Now its the Peskin/Ammiano/Mirk machine. Either way - still a machine.
Can anyone believe the sanctimonious drivel dripping from the pages of this week's issue of the Bay Guardian?
Who are they kissing up to and why?
Here's a newspaper that apparently knew about Julian Davis' alleged groping problems with women before it endorsed him, but endorsed him anyway. Only when its journalistic rival published an uncorroborated allegation - from an accuser who had given assurances to those who endorsed Davis that whatever had occurred between the accuser and Davis had been resolved - did the Guardian run to the hills for cover with their tails between their legs.
No further investigating needed. No need to look into a calculated whisper campaign, and no need to mention a second cease and desist letter sent from Davis to a co-conspirator who was publicly attacking Davis with provably false accusations.
On the other hand, had the Guardian had actually reported what it knew about Davis, then perhaps it wouldn't be able to justify its endorsement of Davis. Or, if they would have just come clean with what they knew and reported it, the accuser may have not felt it necessary to go public.
Either way, the Guardian has some serious egg on its face that may last for eight, embarrassingly long years. I'm not alone in saying that I'd much prefer to see a true, independent progressive win this important contest (and it's not Olague), but if Breed wins, progressives can thank the Guardian for participating in the destruction of the only candidate the left could 100% trust on policy.
Shame on you, Bay Guardian.
Don't know how many times I have to say this, but we did NOT know about Kay's allegations, or anything close to them, when we made our endorsement. When we found out -- and checked the story out pretty thoroughly -- we made a decision.
We still don't know what was whispered in your ear, before or after you "knew". Everything is top secret...hush, hush (wink wink*). But you want us to believe that you knew nothing when you made that endorsement? Sorry, not drinking the kool aid, dude.
Many, many people knew about this whisper campaign months ago. They dismissed it until the Gang of 4 on the Board needed to protect each other. They then gave this baseless whisper campaign credibility. Remember this started with Avalos and Campos who led the charge to support Olague.
A month ago everyone knew Olague was not a progressive, now everyone wants to pretend she is. Somehow this leopard has changed her spots? I don't think so.
If this rag honestly didn't know about the whisper campaign it is admission to just how out of touch the paper is.
The actual "whisper campaign" is Julian trying to blame his problems on the women he harassed and abused. Get a grip.
He has a legal right and a responsibility to his supporters to rebut false allegations which were dropped like a bomb in the eleventh hour of an election. Get a grip yourself.
Isn't sexual assault and domestic violence condoned by progs nowadays?
Davis and Mirkarimi, wow Progressives sure know how to pick them!
He made pass at a woman, in a singles bar!
...been at war with Eastasia.
This sounds like Nixon's secret plan to end the Vietnam War or Romney's secret tax plan.
With no public bill of particulars, this is all second and third hand hearsay originating from those with a dog in this fight and their own political ambitions on one hand, and political operatives maneuvering for their own economic interests on the other.
There remains significant reasonable doubt as to the credibility of all involved here.
Julian is still a contender in this race. He enjoys a wide array of support by people with more integrity than to throw him under the bus over an unsubstantiated rumor. Julian can win this without your support, because there are still many of us (progs), who you don't recognize, who are standing with Davis and refuse to bail him like so many cowards. iVenceremosI
Please Julian staffers and so called supporters, please stop enabling him!
He needs to learn how to take responsibility for his actions. You minimizing his mistreatment of women is not helping him or our community at large.
He is very disrespectful of women.
He's never really had a job.
He knows how to talk the talk, but actions speak louder than words.
His handling of this situation has been incredibly disappointing, and he continues to disrespect the victims and now through you. Empathy and compassion is needed.
He has proven that he does not posses those qualities through his staffers and supporters continued harassment of Kay. Own up to your shit like everyone else!
Right on SFBG!
that he transferred from Yale because he wanted to build a political network in San Francisco? When he actually never attended Yale at all.
Big problems with the truth - Julian Davis has.
Coffee in nose.
Because he told this to a multitude of people. Perhaps all those idealistic law students are part of the conspiracy against Julian though.
A "multitude of people"?? Puh-lease! You'd say anything because you're the Queen of Smear, and everyone knows it.
if it stuck his fingers down his pants and attempted to stroke his flat ass.
He has to lie, in order to hide his background as a trust fund baby of two university professors. He has never worked a day in his life, has done NOTHING for the movement in SF, other than take credit for other people's work, and act like a complete misogynist jerk. He had his acceptance to Yale rescinded just like all his endorsements- FOR BEHAVING BADLY (acts of violence). He can cry "racism" and "conspiracy" all he wants -- anyone with half a brain can see the guy is not suited to run for public office. What a train wreck, and embarrassment to SF "progressives". He does a disservice to actual instances of racism that occur.
He graduated from U.C. Hastings College of the Law (magna cum laude). He has worked for former Assemblyman, now State Senator, Mark Leno, in his SF district office. He is President of the Booker T. Washington Community Service Center, and has worked in government and the non-profit and legal sectors on community development, social justice and environmental causes. As Executive Director of a community economic development non-profit, he worked with small business owners to navigate the hurdles of setting up shop in San Francisco. In short, he has a STELLAR resume. You are just repeating the lies of his opponents and smear artists (& LB supporters) Aimee Ellis and KV who got this 'whisper campaign' going in the first place. Shame on you!
I can't get my hands down someone's pants when they want it. It's a very difficult thing to do. To do it against someone's will in a crowded bar seems almost impossible.
I don't believe her.
liberal women usually wear, it's like taking candy from a baby.
Just because it's never happened to you doesn't mean it's not possible. You're probably a man.
I've had it happen, unfortunately - and it was awful. It happened so quickly I hardly had time to process what was going on. I wonder if you have any idea what it's like to be a woman and to feel as though you are just there for them (to grope, to fondle, to harass)?
Clearly not
Tim and Steve, by taking out Davis you have both helped London Breed take D5 and there goes the progressive movement.
voting for one horny black candidiate, it is in way bigger trouble than we even thought.
Tim I guess you will have to say it many, many more time as by the comments posted your readers don't belive you.
wow, some of the people clearly supporting Julian Davis and leaving comments on this thread have sniffed way too much glue today. sober up people! this shit is embarrassing.

Of most importance to us is how Pariah did this weekend in its limited opening engagements, and we'll get to that in a second.
But first, no surprise, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol was No. 1 again this weekend, bringing the franchise and Tom Cruise's career back to life, pulling in over $300 million worldwide to date.
Other films, like Sherlock Holmes and We Bought A Zoo increased their box office totals significantly, and War Horse opened strongly as well.
But Pariah did extremely well in its very limited platform release this weekend, making almost $81,500 in only 4 theaters nationwide. The film expands to more theaters on January 6th, and strong word of mouth and solid reviews should help it pull in some solid numbers.
Here's this weekend's list:
Orville | January 2, 2012 6:13 PM
I don't know why people are arguing about the box office? The point is the Shadow and Act editors are correct Pariah did indeed gross over $81,000 dollars since the movie was released. The movie is a black lesbian film which is rare to even get distribution by a big studio like Focus Features. Why can't people just be happy that a black LGBT film is in the theatres and will be expanding to more markets very soon? People have complained on this site that there is a narrow representation of blackness in cinema. Now Pariah arrives I think people should be happy about it. I sincerely hope more black LGBT movies reach a wider audience and not just be stuck in queer film festivals. I wonder if that E Lynn Harris movie is ever going to be made?
Orville | January 2, 2012 6:06 PM
I wonder if anyone knows if Pariah will be released in Toronto? I think this is wonderful news that a black lesbian movie is doing so well at the box office! I believe more LGBT entertainment iis important. The director of Pariah is doing a great thing here expanding the stories about the black experience. I also like that Kim Wayans is in Pariah and I heard she did an excelllent job
Miles Maker | January 2, 2012 12:28 PM
Watching PARIAH's 4-day average climb to $16,275. The Holiday week from Christmas to New Year's definitely affected ALL box office numbers but this critically-acclaimed movie won't be denied!

This is GREAT!!!! And is amazing for the cast and crew of the film!!! Looking forward to catching the film myself.
BeyondTrix | January 1, 2012 7:27 PM
I wish Shadow and act would have reported objectively. Pariah did good business. At the end if the day it made the same as I Will Follow and Gun Hill Road pretty much. It was in between them by just a few hundred dollars. A quick Google shows that Gun Hill road made $12,600 on each screen in the three theaters it started in, I Will Follow made $11,800 in the five theaters in started in and Pariah made $12,300 in the four theaters it started in. I think the most fascinating part besides the tricks on this blog is that these independent black movies make practically the same whether it is a studio like Focus Features putting it out, a grassroots group like AFFRM putting it out or a small distribution place like Motion Group that did Gun Hill Road. The money spent on it don't matter it seems like. The audience who will see small movies and not just Tyler Perry is the root of it.
LeonRaymond Mitchell | January 1, 2012 6:31 PM
Please ignore the Haters check out the numbers and do your own scale Pariah is out grossing most films, take a look at their budgets take a look at their cast of other films and I'm sorry Pariah is killing it with the numbers, if most films (Black films with Black cast ) did as well we would not be in the shape we are in as far as Blacks films being a thing no one wants t0 touch. Iron Lady -please star cast Tinker Taylor -star cast, this film is doing good biz right up there with Ava DuVernay's projects I see a flat out champion and 10 times the better story and direction than Precious , Gun Hill Road even wishes they had these numbers , at some point you have to see the over all picture -this film will long long legs !!!!
J | January 1, 2012 6:03 PM
Loved Pariah. Good luck to Dee Rees & her team.
Oh there is a typo in the third line it should be "increased" instead of incresased.
Miles Maker | January 1, 2012 5:15 PM
See you in San Diego, DC, Chicago, Boston, Dallas and Seattle this week!

"Numbers don't lie, people lie" - Mo Better Blues
For obvious reasons, Sergio's number is inflated: Pariah only grossed $49, 700 on it's opening weekend. The film played in 4 theaters and had a per screen average of $12, 495. The total gross of the film thus far is $81,400.

IW is posting contradictory assessments on "Pariah." Another post "Holiday B.O." with the Iron Lady lead in suggests that Pariah "was not faring as well" compared to other limited releases. Here, you write that it did "extremely well." Which is it??

After seeing how he performed after his first career loss, i can safely predict that Rory "the water boy" Macdonald will wear UFC gold before too long.Rory Macdonald is part of the next generation of MMA athletes. His not one, not two, but THREE german suplexes against Nate diaz last saturday at UFC 129 in Toronto practically one after the other demonstrate his unbelievable strength, and his fight with Carlos Condit (who is currently a top ten welterweight) was one that he was dominating in all areas, until the final minutes. The TKO loss in that fight led to him taking a step back and rethinking his fight game, and it payed off. His battle with Diaz was dominating and truly eye opening. This kid can hang with the big boys. And the REALLY crazy thing? hes only 21.
Rory Macdonald is a powerful striker. He is well versed in submissions. His grappling and takedowns are dominant and extremely powerful. and the most important point is the amount of experience hes aquired at such a young age. In 5 years, if not sooner, Rory Macdonald will hold UFC gold. If GSP is still the king of the mountain by then, he is going to be thrown off that high perch by this amazing rising star from Kelowna BC. Dont agree with me? Please let me know why, and any other thoughts on the matter.

Finals of Miss College Football - UCLA vs. FSU
The other day I posted a link to the semifinal voting between UCLA and TCU, which UCLA won handily. Thanks to all who voted! Now, we are facing FSU in the Finals, and this will be a much tougher match. FSU has a large fanbase (much larger than TCU), and in this round they are only letting you vote once (at least once per computer). Please vote at home, at work, and on your mobile phones. And pass the word to your Bruin friends! Go Bruins!

The infamous law school letter of recommendation can cause stress in applicants, but it doesn't have to be that way. Here are some basic rules you should follow in selecting and asking referees, in the handy format of journalist's Five W's (and an H):
Many schools specify professors as preferred referees, and make no mistake: even if it's not stated, letters of recommendation from academic sources are the best way to go; law schools are interested in how you will do in a rigorous academic environment, and the best judges of that are your past professors.
Preferred professors are those in your major, but if you're asking more than one, use the opportunity to show your well-roundedness as a student; if you've taken courses such as these recommended undergraduate courses for law school, choose one or two of those professors as well. Seminars and classes in which you wrote papers are especially good choices.
If you've been out of school for a while, employers also make good referees.
You should ask your potential referees whether they would be able to write a positive letter of recommendation for you. If you see any hesitation whatsoever, withdraw your request as you don't want anything less than a fabulous, glowing letter in your law school application file.
Note that you should waive your right to see recommendations so that law schools know that the letters are objective.
Ask for letters of recommendations as early as possible, but in any case, no later than a month before the deadline. You don't want your referees to feel rushed in any way, and besides, you'll earn yourself points by planning ahead. Be sure to make the deadline for recommendations absolutely clear to your referees.
The best place to ask a professor, employer, or anyone really for a letter of recommendation is in his or her office. Make an appointment, let your potential referee know ahead of time what the meeting will be about, and come prepared with anything that might help with writing the letter, discussed more below.
Law schools request letters of recommendation to get a better, fuller sense of you as a person and potential student. Keep that in mind as you select referees and ask yourself whether or not that person will help you achieve your goal of getting into law school.
How should you ask for a letter of recommendation? Nicely! More specifically, ask in the most professional way possible, including the above suggestion of making an appointment to meet in the referee's office. Some things you might want to include a folder presented to your referees include your transcript, papers written for that professor, and even a copy of your personal statement if you've already written it.
Overall, you want to make it as easy as possible for your referees to write letters of recommendation, so ask early, nicely, and professionally.

The great thing about the bye week is that it gives us bloggers seemingly unlimited time to speculate about the future prospects of our club. I've heard the world "Super-Bowl" thrown around a few times, and though the mere sound of it is more seductive than the Ben-Gals 2009 calendar, I feel a strong pull to come back down to earth and join the rest of the world. So, after doing some fact checking and cross referencing my sources, not to mention a little bit of computer hacking and light treason, I was able to discover that there is football going on this week, without the Bengals! So keeping this in mind I turned my attention the rest of the NFL.
I've heard some bloggers mentioning that they might elect to go into a vegetable state of hibernation this upcoming bye week, but my contention is that the bye-week will have as much implications for the Bengals as a game-week would. With that in mind, I turn our attention to the matchups that might be of consequence to the Bengals sometime down the road. If you have any colors that vaguely represent the Raiders, the Dolphins, the Bills or the Broncos in your closet then you might want to wear them, or if you have some friends who inexplicably are fans of those teams, then you might want to go support them. Let me explain why.
Houston Texans at Buffalo Bills - If you've been listening to the Bengals buzz around the blogosphere, you've probably heard that the Texans are among the teams that could compete for a Wild Card ticket into the playoffs. Judging by the state of the Bills, I'm thinking that the odds of a wild card spot should increase after this week for the Texans. It looks like our very own Ryan Fitz-"5 yard passes scare me" Patrick is going to start at QB for the Bills, so I wouldn't hold your breath for an upset, but you might as well cheer for the former Bengal (Something we could barely muster when he was here).
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets - Though the Dolphins haven't looked great this year, they did almost beat the Saints last week (and I emphasize the almost). The Jets are another team that could compete for a wild card spot, so the more games they lose the better. Can the Dolphins pull out a minor upset here? I think they've got a shot at it, so don't be afraid to support our reefered-out friend Ricky Williams against Rex Ryan's new club.
Denver Broncos at Baltimore Ravens - I still don't think that anybody is taking the Broncos that seriously despite the fact that they've beaten New England, San Diego, Dallas and us. These guys are good, but they are still the trendy pick to be upset this week by Baltimore (SB nation at least is predicting a Baltimore Win here). The last thing we want is for Baltimore to start catching up to us in the division (or compete for a wild card spot), so cheer loudly for those Broncos! Being the underdog has worked for Denver to this point, so here's to hoping it lasts! I never thought I'd say this, but "Go Orton!"
St. Louis Rams at Detroit Lions - I'm just kidding. Nobody cares about these teams.
Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers - Don't get confused, if you see a lot of black and silver zombies in the stands, it could just be people recovering from their Halloween hangovers - not Raiders fans. Somehow Oakland upset a good Eagles club a few weeks ago, but unless Jamarcus Russel decides to dress up as Joe Montana (or at least Rich Gannon) for Halloween, then I don't see a lot of hope for the Raiders. However, if anybody knows about resurrected careers, it's the Bengals very own Cedric Benson, so let's hope those Raiders take down a 3-3 Chargers team that will likely have to hope for a wild card spot in the playoffs.
So I beg all of you, don't give up on football just because it's the Bengals bye week! Find that team to cheer for 'cause it might end up winning us a trip to the playoffs.

Cajun Cowboyz restaurant on East Miller in Iowa caught fire early Thursday.
Witnesses said it caught fire around 1:30 a.m. and the flames were as high as 20-feet.
It was a total loss.
The restaurant was reportedly recently remodeled. It had operated under different names, including Southern Magnolia Cafe and Big Daddy's.
Iowa Fire Captain Glen Mott said when firefighters responded, smoke was pouring out of the roof and the interior was already on fire. He said the building was gutted.
Fire officials are investigating the cause of the fire.
No injuries were reported.
Firefighters worked until about 9 a.m. Thursday morning, extinguishing the flames. Firefighters from Lacassine, LeBleu Settlement, Buller and Iowa responded.

Moody's international credit rating agency on Wednesday downgraded Israel's banking system outlook to negative from stable. The agency took the step in response to the "projected slowdown in economic growth and the country's challenging operating environment which will continue over the 12-18 month outlook period."
The Bank of Israel responded to the downgrade, saying that it was studying the report and will seek to draw from it the appropriate conclusions.
In its report, entitled "Banking System Outlook: Israel," the agency predicted that GDP growth would decelerate significantly in 2012, mainly due to weakening export demand stemming from the unresolved eurozone crisis.
Moody's was also pessimistic about Israel's security outlook, emphasizing "growing geopolitical tensions" that could compromise business confidence and economic activity. The agency underscored this phenomenon by singling out the Iranian threat and the Arab Spring - which it called the "changing political landscape in neighboring countries."
The agency was particularly critical of banks' concentrated loan exposures to highly-leveraged Israeli conglomerates, which it said will cause credit risks to remain elevated.
The report was not all negative for Israel. Moody's praised the country's resilience, saying that the economy has proven that it can withstand repeated shocks, as it did in the past.

WASHINGTON — The hardest-hit area in Indiana by the $85 billion budget sequester that takes place Friday will be close to home at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane.
According to figures released by Sen. Joe Donnelly, the base will lose $36 million in funding, the most in the state.
"We know how critical the work they do is," Donnelly said. "The work they do is directly related to the cybersecurity of our nation and our men and women in the armed forces.
"To all the Crane workers, we know how critical everything you do is."
Although it is not official, many employees are worried about mandated furloughs that will take a day's work from many. NSWC Crane is the third-largest employer in southwest Indiana, employing over 4,500 in the base alone.
Several employees, like the Kettinger family in Shoals, rely on Crane for their livelihood. Both work for contractors that help in various base functions at the third largest naval installation in the world.
"Everything is very uncertain at the moment," Traci Kettinger said. "If we don't get altogether, just the furlough with hours being cut would result in a major pay (cut) in our household."
Kettinger also said she is "praying for it not to happen."
According to official word from Crane, furloughs have not happened. Yet.
"I wish I could say," Pamela Ingram, public affairs officer for NSWC Crane said. "We don't know how we will be directly affected."
Ingram said the official word will come from the Pentagon. If the furloughs are implemented, pay cuts will be at 20 percent. The cuts will start in April and continue to the end of the fiscal year in September.
"I don't think anyone actually knows yet, because it has never been done before," Ingram said.
Also unsure is the impact on programs Crane offers. The naval operation offers support in electronic warfare, strategic missions and special missions. Ingram said because many of the projects come from the Pentagon's working capital fund, no decisions have been made on the impact.

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- The Wisconsin Better Business Bureau is warning Packer fans to be wary of scammers selling playoff tickets.
The bureau says sports fans can be easily scammed when buying tickets outside the stadium, on the street or through online auctions, classified ads and bulletin boards.
Wisconsin BBB President Randall Hoth says fans can get burned by purchasing counterfeit tickets or paying in advance for tickets that never arrive.
The BBB recommends checking with its database that includes reputable, secondary market ticket firms. It also recommends looking for the BBB logo on broker's websites and to click on it to ensure it's real.
If using an online auction site, they recommend looking for sellers with a recent and long history of satisfied customers.

On Louisville's senior night in March, Russ Smith was presented with his framed national championship jersey from the Cardinals 2013 run to the title. Smith decided to give the jersey to his father, who runs a business in Brooklyn. Russ Smith Sr. shipped the frame via FedEx, but when it arrived in New York, the frame had been cracked. FedEx agreed to pay for the damages, but Smith was required to send the frame back — with the priceless jersey still inside. You can guess what happened next.
I want to personally thank Fed Ex for deliberately throwing away my National Championship Jersey & compensating it by saying "Sorry".—
Russ Smith (@Russdiculous_2) May 09, 2014
Thanks Fed Ex I trusted you with all my hard work and effort I put into that jersey only for you to throw it away.—
Russ Smith (@Russdiculous_2) May 10, 2014
Words really can't explain how upset I am. Billion dollar company, they throw away something I worked hard in & they only say "sorry".—
Russ Smith (@Russdiculous_2) May 10, 2014
Like I said life isn't fair. Sometimes people n major corporations take for granted how much the little things mean and only say "sorry".—
Russ Smith (@Russdiculous_2) May 10, 2014
The frame cracked when it got to my dad, then because of the cracked $600 frame we asked to send it back. Then they said the will only …—
Russ Smith (@Russdiculous_2) May 10, 2014
Accept the cracked frame with the jersey/merchandise inside the frame. So we comply only for them to throw my jersey away and say "sorry".—
Russ Smith (@Russdiculous_2) May 10, 2014
@FedEx you are incredible. I am getting on a flight from Vegas to Louisville to graduate tomorrow & you guys have ruined that for me.—
Russ Smith (@Russdiculous_2) May 10, 2014
@FedEx There will be plenty of problems if I don't have my jersey. Same stains, same rips, same odor, same everything. Can't duplicate that.—
Russ Smith (@Russdiculous_2) May 10, 2014
A FedEx representative told Wave 3 News that the box was discarded because it contained a broken frame, and that no one checked to see that the jersey was inside.
"The employee had marked it to discard yes," said Erin Truxal, the manager of public relations for Fed Ex Ground. Truxal said for safety reasons it's company policy to toss out any returned boxes with broken glass without opening them to see what's inside.

Jerzy (Jorge) Zalszupin
Fascinated by Brazilian architecture, the polish born architect, Jorge Zalszupin decided to move to Rio de Janeiro in 1949. He firstly engaged work with the architect Luciano Korngold in São Paulo and after acquiring the Brazilian citizenship Zalszupin opened his own studio. He acquired a talent for furniture design through the frequent commissions for residential architectural projects, which included the design of furniture.
In 1959 he decided to specialize in furniture design. Zalszupin associated himself with a group of craftsmen and founded the studio L'Atelier. The idea of the studio was to implement a work collective. Starting with a small handcraft production, L'Atelier flourished throughout the years and became an industry that at its peak had around 300 workers. In the 1970's, due to financial difficulties, L'Atelier was sold to a holding. Zalszupin was kept in the company as the art director. In this new phase, other designers were added to the team that allowed the implementation of a singular creative workshop in the company. In the 1980's, due to an economic crisis in Brazil, L'Atelier interrupted its activities. Zalszupin then worked as an architect together with José Gugliota. In 1986 he left the partnership and continued to work as an architect and designer but less intensively.
Due to the quality and historical significance of his furniture, some of his works have been successfully reissued in the market since 2005.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's a YouTube video worth?
A recent descriptive study, conducted by nurse researchers at the University of Manchester and the University of Sheffield in England and University College in Dublin (UCD), examined how nurses and nursing are portrayed on YouTube-the world's most popular video-sharing Web site-and how nurse-related words, images, and situations found in videos posted on YouTube promoted either positive or negative images of nurses and nursing.
The study's initial YouTube search using the terms "nurse" and "nursing" yielded 300,900 hits. The researchers whittled the results down to the 10 most-viewed videos and clips and categorized them as being either nurse generated or media generated. They then used critical discourse analysis to describe, analyze, and explain the nurse-specific "public discourse"-the language, actions, content, and intent-that was revealed by those 10 videos. Three distinct nursing identities stood out: nurse as "skilled knower and doer," nurse as "sexual plaything," and nurse as "witless incompetent."
Although four of the 10 videos (all produced by nursing schools) presented nurses and nursing in a positive, professional light, it was marketing pieces, clips from television shows, and a cartoon that objectified or sexualized nurses, trivialized their work, and reinforced negative stereotypes-and also drew the most viewers.
According to the article's corresponding author, Gerard M. Fealy, associate professor and associate dean for research and innovation at the UCD School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Systems, the article has two aims. One, he said, is to "alert nurses to the way others see us." The other is to provide evidence that nurses and nursing organizations can use to inform legislators and those who make decisions about all, not just YouTube's, online content, so that "adverse and derogatory representations of nursing do not transgress the profession's right to its good name."
Stressing that engaging in retaliatory ridicule won't work, he said that what's needed is "a counter discourse, one that harnesses popular media like YouTube to project a more positive image, an image that reflects the reality of nursing and nurses' work."-Eileen Beal

3Quotables: Adam Levine Calls Jennifer Love Hewitt "Aggressive"
"I heard about that. That was aggressive. It was really sweet and flattering. Beautiful life, you know, when a beautiful woman says nice things about you."
Adam Levine, during an interview where he was asked about the obligatory being-stalked-by-Jennifer Love Hewitt thing. And it wasn't bad enough that he said "no f-cking way, girlfriend," he had to go and add insult to injury by telling people that she's all aggressive and what not.
I commend Jennifer for speaking out about what she wants, and if it were anyone other than Jennifer Love Hewitt, she might have a snowball's chance in hell in looking forward-thinking and assertive, but guys. it's Jennifer Love Hewitt. She tries to eat guys like this for breakfast, but they normally run screaming before her alarm goes off.
Poor Jennifer Love. She just can't catch
a man a break.
April 27, 2012 at 11:30 am by Sarah
3 Responses to "Quotables: Adam Levine Calls Jennifer Love Hewitt "Aggressive""
It seems like she can't open her mouth without coming across as desperate. On DWTS the other night, she was asked who she is looking forward to see dance, and she said "Max". Now, if the other 99.99% of the population said the same thing, it might not come across as desperate, but with Jennifer, it comes across as slightly stalker-ish and most definitely Stage 5 Clinger. I think it was the way she said it….all bedroom-y sounding and semi-breathy. It just made me go, "Oh…no girl. You're better than that", but I'm starting to think she isn't.
are these people, like, twenty? they're both grown-ups, right? like, over thirty? they both sound immature.
