Lawrence O'Donnell: Sarah 'Palinocchio' Wins 'Lie of the Year'
It was a metaphysical certitude the most biased television news network on the planet would be giddy with Politifact's announcement that Sarah Palin's "death panel" remark won the website's dubious honor of "Lie of the Year."
And MSNBC sure didn't disappoint.
On Monday's "Countdown," fill-in host Lawrence O'Donnell took on the issue by immediately labeling the object of his disaffection "Palinocchio" complete with a picture of the former Alaska governor sporting a large nose.
Even less surprising was how O'Donnell, despite claiming the runner-up list was bipartisan, didn't mention that President Obama was on it (video embedded below the fold with transcript and commentary):
LAWRENCE O`DONNELL, HOST: Two words turned the health care debate on its head this summer. Now those words have earned their rightful place in history. Our number two story on the COUNTDOWN, and the lie of the year goes to Sarah Palin`s unforgettable phrase: "death panel."
"Politi-Fact, the truth squadding website of the "St. Petersburg Times" naming Sarah Palin`s death panel whopper the lie of the year. Palin posted the myth about government-run end of life care on Facebook back in August. "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with down`s syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama`s death panel, so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgement of their level of productivity in society, whether they are worthy of health care."
One problem; none of the reform bills included the kind of rationed care Palin warned of.
Stop the tape!
If this was such a lie, why did the Senate almost immediately drop end-of-life provisions in its bill on August 13 as reported by the Boston Globe:
A plan to provide hospice counseling and other end-of-life advice to patients and their families is being dropped by US Senate health care negotiators after critics charged that it would lead to the formation of federal "death panels,'' a key GOP senator said yesterday.
Taking this further, if heathcare reform is unfortunately passed, and care does indeed end up getting rationed in much the same way Palin predicted, wouldn't her statement be true?
Sadly, the Palin haters in the media refuse to consider this possibility:
O'DONNELL: The death panel lie beat a slew of other tall tales. Runners up included birther queen Orly Taitz claiming she found a birth certificate proving President Obama was born in Kenya, Congressman Joe Wilson shouting "you lie" in response to the president`s assertion that health care reform would not insure illegal immigrants, and Glenn Beck claiming Obama`s top science advisor has proposed forcing abortions, and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population.
But it was Palin`s death panel lie that really stuck. Politi-Fact reporting that the term was mentioned in news reports 6,000 times in August and September. Playing his part, Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa -- he took the death panel meme and turned it up to 11.
SEN. CHUCK GRASSLEY (R), IOWA: We should not have a government program that determines if you`re going to pull the plug on grandma.
O`DONNELL: Time now to call in Margaret Carlson, political columnist with "Bloomberg News" and the Washington editor of "The Week" magazine. Good evening, Margaret.
MARGARET CARLSON, "BLOOMBERG NEWS": Hello, Lawrence.
O`DONNELL: Margaret, how does Sarah Palin manage to spin her way out of this one? Being associated with the lie of the year is normally a problem for any politician`s resume, isn`t it?
CARLSON: Well, there were so many lies this year, and so little time on the show to do them all justice. But here`s how she tried: she tried when her book was coming out -- which by the way had its own series of falsehoods -- to say that she was like Ronald Reagan in using death panels, because he used the term "evil empire" and it was nowhere on the map. Therefore, her use of death panels was not a real lie, and she used it in the same context as her beloved Ronald Reagan.
I don`t know that anyone really believed it, but that`s what she tried to do. You know, the other lies you mentioned didn`t quite get the grip on a political discussion that this one did, with like 40 percent of Republicans at one time thinking there were death panels.
O`DONNELL: Now, what about Palin`s fans? I mean, don`t they believe this death panel thing? And how -- or does this -- will this suddenly convince them that Sarah Palin was lying about death panels?
CARLSON: No. Her fans believe whatever she says. And they never give up on it. It`s like that saying where a lie gets around the world before the truth catches up. That little asterisk that she put beside death panels, I don`t believe caught up with anybody, nor was it a full blown apology for it.
We live in a time when, you know, politicians are not just entitled to their own opinions. They`re entitled to their own facts. And we live in this world. It`s one reason why there was so much confusion about the health care bill, which, granted, was a huge pile of amendments.
O`DONNELL: Careful, Margaret, careful.
CARLSON: -- and earmarks. I know. Thank you, Lawrence. In the Christmas spirit, you helped me out there. But we were all confused. And so the idea that you want to add confusion, as a public figure, it`s unconscionable in the end. Bob Dole never did that. You know, even Everett Dirksen, who was very partisan, didn`t do that. Republicans of old didn`t do it.
O`DONNELL: We mentioned some of the runners up on the list. It`s a bipartisan list. It includes Joe Biden for saying when one person sneezes, it goes all the way through the aircraft. Joe Biden is always very quick to correct these kinds of stretches in his comments. But with Sarah Palin, it seems that loving her means she never has to say she`s sorry.
Hmmm. Notice O'Donnell didn't mention that Obama was also on this list? Nor did he or Carlson discuss the numerous whoppers Biden and Obama made this year that could have been:
CARLSON: Yeah. You know, Joe Biden did a public service in that we all started doing the Count Dracula cough, with our capes drawn up around our faces. He also said, don`t get on Amtrak. But he took -- you know, he sort of amended that, so that we did get on Amtrak.
Sarah Palin is Teflon when it comes to her base, which you can see by the sales of her book, which I think are over five million now. They are ardent. They will put down their 25 dollars. There is nothing she can do, and no amount of catching up with what she says on the part of media or her political opponents that`s going to change that.
O`DONNELL: Margaret Carlson of "Bloomberg News" and "The Week" magazine, thanks for your time tonight.
CARLSON: Thanks, Lawrence.
In the end, it was just another Palin bash in a series of Palin bashes from this despicable network.
General Electric should be so proud.
On the other hand, maybe that's why the corporation is trying to sell 51% of its stake in NBC to Comcast.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - There's a new addition to the Youngstown Police Department.
Joseph Burnich is the first new patrol officer to be sworn-in by Mayor John McNally.
Burnich is a recent graduate of Youngstown State University's Police Academy, and Police Chief Robin Lees was one of his instructors.
The new hire is part of the Mayor and the Chief's commitment to maintaining the strength of the police department.
Police Chief Lees tells 21 News, "This will bring us back to the 152 officers that the police department has been at recently. We want to maintain that level, we feel like that's the bare minimum. In this case Joseph Burnish has been hired under the COPS Grant, which is facilitating the hiring of Veterans, and of course we are happy to do that."
Burnich from Austintown, served two tours of duty in Iraq, and will take to the streets as a patrol officer in the coming weeks.

University applications fall in England not replicated in other parts of the UK
The report by the Independent Commission on Fees shows that the fall in applicant numbers in England has not been replicated in other parts of the UK.
Both Scotland and Wales have seen a rise (1% and 0.3% respectively) while Northern Ireland saw 0.8% fewer applicants.
The report concludes: "The decline in English applicants from the 2010 level was 8.8%, as compared to a nearly-constant level from the other home nations across this period. This may indicate a link between the level of tuition fees and the numbers of applicants.

I am one of those people skeptical about the whole must-have items for parents-to-be. I know I need a lot of things, but do I really need a diaper bag?
Can't I just use a large bag...one with compartments?
I don't like the look of most diaper bags. The ones I do like, look like regular bags to me. So why can't I open up my options and buy a regular bag? Or better yet, use a bag I already have and buy things I really need with the money. Some of those diaper bags are so expensive!
I know I will probably need a changing pad, but that would fit.
Check out these two cool bags, perfect for a "diaper bag."
Photo from CalviRee
Hemp/Cotton Lines Bag from tippythai ($29) -- seen above.
Nantucket Bucket Bag from CalviRee ($35) -- at right.
Am I insane for thinking this way? Are you going to buy a diaper bag or use a bag you already have?
I registered for a big one and a medium and I got them both. I also have a bottle coller bag-good for water bottles for myolder kids too. I did win a butlerbag from another website-that is really cool. I need a diaper bag for all my little one needs, plus I can put things in there for my older ones too!
I carry an over the shoulder messenger-style tote as my purse anyway, so when I go anywhere I just throw what I need in there, since there's more than enough room.
I do recomend you get a diaper bag. Make sure it has plenty of space inside, you will need it, and compartments, you will need those as well. The bigest difference between a regualr bag and a diaper bag is the liner on the inside of the bag. You definatly want something that is going to resist spills and messes and as far as the material on the outside just make sure the whole bag can be thrown in the washer from time to time. Trust me! You will be glad you did this!
YES, you really do need a diaper bag. Trust me. :) Look on Etsy, they have really cute ones.
No I never used a real diaper bag. I got one as a gift but it turned out that all those compartments actually drove me crazy when looking for things, what worked for me was a big beach bag type thing from old navy.....
Meh. I just used a regular big bag. But I really was just carrying around diapers and wipes since I was breastfeeding. I didn't need extra compartments for bottles and what not. Target has these awesome looking one shoulder bags, but I'm not sure how well they work. I registered for one and no one got it for me :( But I got a great jansport purse on sale and that worked.
My DS bought me a big bag from Talbots for my baby shower. Def. not a diaper bag but I loved it.
I never really used a regular diaper bag (although I did have one), using a large purse or other type of bag worked fantastic for me!
I have an Eddie Bauer tote bag that I use and love it more than my diaper bags. My only suggestions is buy something with zippers.
I didn't buy a "diaper bag," well, I think I actually did but barely used it. I used a variety of bags I already owned, depending on the outing — sometimes just a bigger purse with a few diapers and wipes and a bottle. However, I was also that mom who was never super organized and could pull out an extra outfit or snack or bandaid at any given moment. I just sat by the moms who were good like that. :)
During the heavy milk-toting months (bottles and pumped milk) and early food even, I did use a bag that I could wipe out. There's no end to the baby ooze, it seems. And depending on your kids' spit-upped-ness, you may need to carry multiple outfits, bibs, and burp rags at all times in the early months (plus all the moist ones you go through). We went through all this like crazy cause both mine loved to spit up.
For me a diaper bag is a must have, they have compartments and straps you generally don't find in other bags, which makes it tons easier to pack and actually later locate the things you need. but they have gotten crazy expensive so I am shopping at consignment stores for a couple (I like to have a couple on hand in different sizes) to save money.

Hugh Jackman honors mother-in-law at Angel Ball
NEW YORK (AP) - When Hugh Jackman decided to marry the daughter of a woman who's dedicated her life to fighting cancer, he became part of the fight as well- it was a package deal.
The "X-Men" actor said that when he asked his mother-in-law Fay Duncan- president of the Fight Cancer Foundation in Australia- for her blessing when he proposed to Deborra-Lee Furness, she told him that supporting the fight against cancer was one of the requirements to get that blessing.
On Tuesday night, Jackman and his wife paid tribute to Duncan, one of several honored at the annual Angel Ball benefit that raises funds for cancer research.
He joked: "If you're expecting an actor to start sucking up to his mother-in-law, you're absolutely right."
The evening featured performances from Pharrell Williams, Usher and Chaka Khan.

Mission Statement
We are committed at Glenburn Elementary School to a student-centered learning environment. This environment will foster a sense of challenge, a love for learning, a thirst for knowledge, and a desire to better oneself both academically and personally.
Our mission is to set and maintain standards of excellence which will enable our youth to read, write, think, compute, comprehend, and reason.
Our purpose is to promote an atmosphere of awareness which will expose students to mathematics, the sciences, the humanities and the arts in a manner which whets the appetite and causes a quest for further understanding.
Our goal is for youth to develop within themselves a sense of community, a sense of responsibility, a sense of pride, a sense of respect for property, and a sense of respect for self and others.
Glenburn School Vision
The center of education is the child. Think of the child in educational growth, as a seed within an apple. Each seed is an individual, deversified learner. Moving outward, the core represents curriculum, high expectations and assessment. This provides an environment for the student to become a self-directed, disciplined and life long learner. The apple's pulp nourishes the student through the efforts of all stakeholders, utilizing technology, teaching strategies, and resources. Encircling all parts is the peel, which is the safe school environment. This provides a positive, risk-taking climate, where all feel respected, valued, and safe. The stem connects community and school. Together, clear policies with defined expectations will produce academic and personal excellence for each individual.

U.S. safety regulators are investigating a steering problem in Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says a fastener can come loose, causing the steering shaft to come part and drivers to lose control of the vehicle.
The investigation covers about 70,000 Santa Fes from the 2011 model year. It will determine if the problem is bad enough for Hyundai to recall the SUVs.
No injuries or crashes have been reported.
NHTSA says one driver complained about a complete loss of steering. Hyundai also got a complaint that a loose bolt caused a similar problem.

Dueling ads in Arkansas Senate race turn to Medicare
By Julie Kliegman
Published on Wednesday, November 20th, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
The 2014 midterm elections are almost a full year away, but we've already seen heated back-and-forth in the Arkansas Senate race, where Sen. Mark Pryor, a Democrat, will face off against U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton, a Republican.
Their latest round of ads focused on Medicare, with familiar claims that we heard during both the 2012 and 2010 election cycles.
At PolitiFact, we'll be keeping a close eye on the candidates. Pryor met the Truth-O-Meter for the first time, while Cotton has a few checks under his belt.
See each fact-check for a full explanation of our rating and our sourcing.
Mark Pryor "cut Medicare to pay for Obamacare."
-- Tom Cotton, Nov. 13, 2013 in an ad
The Affordable Care Act, which Pryor supports, aims to curb spending growth in Medicare by more than $700 billion. But the savings will come from funds going to hospitals and insurance companies, not from beneficiaries. We rated this claim Half True.
Tom Cotton "voted to turn Medicare into a voucher system."
-- Mark Pryor, Nov. 13, 2013 in an ad
Pryor's ad refers to Cotton's vote in favor of the most recent budget proposal by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. The budget proposed that Medicare enrollees be given government payments to either put toward traditional Medicare plans or private plans. There's debate about the word "voucher," but we think it captures the gist of the program. We rated this claim Mostly True.
See individual factchecks for sources.

Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Andy Dalton threw three touchdowns as the TCU Horned Frogs remained perfect on the season in conference play with a 44-14 drubbing of the UNLV Rebels in a Mountain West Conference mismatch.
Dalton compiled 151 yards passing on 16-of-29 throws while adding 52 yards on the ground for TCU (9-1, 6-0 MWC), which has won five in a row since its only loss at Oklahoma.
Aaron Brown and Jai Cavness each had touchdowns in addition to 60 and 51 rushing yards, respectively, for the victors.
Omar Clayton was a woeful 5-of-13 through the air for a measly 45 yards with a touchdown and an interception before leaving with a knee injury for UNLV (3-6, 0-5), which has dropped five straight since starting the season 3-1.
The Horned Frogs outgained the hosts 410-175.
"That was not the UNLV Rebel team that I know that was playing out there," Rebels head coach Mike Sanford said. "That is not the standard of play that I expect out of our team. That was below standard."
The Rebels quickly went three-and-out on their first drive of the game, and TCU proceeded to hold the ball for the next eight minutes. The 17-play, 77- yard trek was prolonged by Antoine Hicks' run of four yards on 4th-and-2 from the UNLV 8, and Dalton's pass to Justin Watts off a play-action fake from the goal line put the favorites ahead 7-0.
Robert Henson picked off Clayton on the ensuing drive and it took just three plays for Luke Shivers to rush into the end zone from three yards out for a 14-0 advantage with 3:09 to go in the first.
UNLV again promptly punted the ball, but Brown fumbled on the return deep in his own zone. The hosts took over at the TCU 12, and, following a loss of three, Clayton rolled out of the pocket and hit Rodelin Anthony for a TD.
A 12-yard punt into a stiff wing to the UNLV 28 early in the second quarter gave the Frogs good field position but they could only muster a 20-yard Ross Evans field goal.
Yet another short punt later in the frame resulted in a short field, and this time the Horned Frogs took advantage. Dalton hooked up with Evan Frosch in the end zone from the UNLV four with 30 ticks in the half, putting TCU ahead 24-7 at the break.
"We got a couple breaks," TCU head coach Gary Patterson said. "The win kicked up and as bad as it was today in the second quarter, I thought it was a deciding factor because it was in our favor and they couldn't get it punted out of there. It's hard to move the football when the wind is blowing like that."
The score was upped to 30-7 shortly after the break. Nick Sanders' 40-yard punt return to the UNLV 33 set up Brown's 23-yard touchdown 5 1/2 minutes into the third.
The two-point conversion failed, but Jimmy Young's 13-yard touchdown seven minutes later all but sealed the game.
Cavness and UNLV's David Peeples traded one-yard scores in the fourth quarter to account for the final score.

In the garden
Choosing the right tree
Fall is the ideal time to plant a new tree. The right tree planted in the right place on your property can give you years of pleasure and enhance your property's value should you decide to sell your home. The key is to make sure you choose the right tree for the place you want to plant.
"Begin with a site analysis," says Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson. "The principles are much the same for any landscape design project."
Start with the soil. It's helpful to know the pH of your soil, so you may want to do a soil test. Remember that Henrico residents can get two free soil tests each year. Soil test kits are available at Henrico public libraries and at the Extension Office.
Look, too, at the texture of your soil. Is it clayey, loamy, or sandy? Is it compacted? And how well does it drain?
"You need to know what you're dealing with," says Sanderson. "Some trees like a tupelo can tolerate poor drainage, and some can't."
The climate in our area is another consideration. Henrico is in USDA Hardiness Zone 7 where the average extreme minimum temperature is 0-10 degrees Fahrenheit and in American Horticultural Society Heat Zone 7 where the temperature exceeds 86 degrees Fahrenheit from 60 to 90 days each year.
"Lots of trees will do really well in our area," says Sanderson, "but some do better with our climate than others. River Birch, for example, seems to do better than White Birch in our climate." Sunlight is another important factor. Not all trees do well in bright sun. Local favorites such as dogwoods, red buds, and sourwoods usually prefer a shadier location near the edges of forests or other stands of trees.
"It never fails," says Sanderson. "People love dogwoods, and they plant them right in the middle of their yards where they get full sun and then wonder why they don't do well."
Trees need about an inch of water each week during the first year "establishment period," so making sure you have access to water either with an existing irrigation system or a convenient water hose can save a lot of work.
And, of course, trees grow so you need to have enough space not only for the size of the tree today but to accommodate how large it will be in a decade. If you're putting your tree near existing trees, you'll also need to consider how large those trees are going to get, and make sure you have enough space to accommodate the needs of all the trees in your yard.
The other trees in the area that are doing well can serve as "indicator plants" to help you assess the conditions in your yard and choose a tree that will do well there.
Good checklists for accessing your site are available online and the Virginia Cooperative Extension has an excellent publication, "Problem-free Trees for Virginia Landscapes" on it's website, http://www.ext.vt.edu to he,lp you choose the trees that best suit the space you have to plant. And you can call Lisa Sanderson at the Henrico Extension Office at 501-5160.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

In Helena General Tim Fox announced that the U.S. Department of the interior has reversed its decision to withhold Mineral Leasing Act revenue from the states. The decision was made after a letter that Attorney General Tim Fox and nine other western states wrote protesting the sequestering of the funds. Montana would have lost $2.4 million dollars in revenue per year based on 2012. The Interior Department says the money will be given to the states sometime after the end of the fiscal year after September 13th.
"I'm very pleased that nearly $2.4 million that Montana was owed through an existing agreement will be on its way soon," said Attorney General Tim Fox. "This is money that our counties need to fund essential services like roads and bridges, and should not have been targeted in the first place by the federal government as a way to balance the books in Washington."
The Interior Department's Office of Natural Resources Revenue had notified states in March that it would withhold payments from March through July, and possibly August and September, saying the move was required by the 5.1% across-the-board sequestration cuts. More than half of the states receive mineral royalties, with western states relying heavily on this revenue because of the disproportionate amount of federal land with valuable minerals located in western states. In a bi-partisan letter sent on August 2 to President Barack Obama, U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell, members of the Conference of Western Attorneys General strongly objected to the loss of revenue, which is statutorily guaranteed to the states.

One of the foremost national moot court teams, the Florida Moot Court Team competes each year at over a dozen tournaments throughout the country. Founded in 1961, the team's mission is to promote excellence in appellate advocacy.
Comprised of students from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, the team has received numerous state and national awards. New members are selected each fall from all third semester students who try out for the team. To be eligible to try out, students must have completed appellant advocacy and be in good academic standing. While there are other moot court teams present on the College of Law's campus, the Florida Moot Court Team is the most prestigious of the teams.
During the summer and early fall, the board holds a try-out competition which requires interested students to write an appellate brief and then present two oral arguments before a panel of student / faculty judges. The competition is sponsored by the Orlando firm of Zimmerman, Kiser & Sutcliffe, P.A., and the law firm Holland & Knight LLP. The top four students compete in the annual Final Four Competition held at the College of Law.
The Moot Court Board's recent competitions include:
Henry G. Manne Law & Economics Competition
American Bar Association National Appellate Advocacy Competition
Chief Judge Conrad B. Duberstein National Bankruptcy Memorial Moot Court Competition
Chicago Bar Association Moot Court Competition
Florida v. Georgia Moot Court Competition
Held in conjunction with the annual football game between the two rival schools.

Stewart played news clips that outline some of the cuts — to national parks, to Department of Defense workers, to meal programs to seniors, to meat inspection, and to vaccinations for children.
"Holy [expletive]!" Stewart said, reappearing on screen in the hazmat suit. "We're doomed! Students without financial aid are going to have to get jobs feeding sick children to old people!"
Is there still time to fix things? Stewart asked. Not really, a clip confirmed — there are only now three more days until the cuts start to kick in.
"Four days? That's not enough time to do anything. We can't even tow a cruise ship full of diarrhea to Alabama in four days," Stewart said.

I won't respond to Labour calls to force Derek Prodger out, says council leader
Updated 4:20pm Thursday 1st May 2014 in News By Tom Edwards, Political Reporter
THE leader of Worcestershire County Council has rejected calls to force Derek Prodger out of the region's fire authority - saying he expects his party to support him this month.
Councillor Adrian Hardman has revealed he will not be accepting a plea from the Labour opposition to remove Cllr Prodger from his role after the Mark Yates' back operation saga.
County Hall's Labour group has sent the leader an open letter saying they will scrap plans for a motion of no confidence in Cllr Prodger going to a vote on Thursday, May 15 if he is removed from his position before then.
As your Worcester News reported three weeks ago, Labour plan to ask all 56 politicians to vote at the next full council meeting, calling Mark Yates' operation a "fiasco" which "brought the fire authority into disrepute".
Mr Yates, the chief fire officer, was handed £3,000 towards having a private back operation from taxpayers' funds after deciding not to wait 12 weeks on the NHS.
The letter to Cllr Hardman, from Labour group leader Councillor Peter McDonald says: "As you are no doubt aware the Labour Group is minded to call for a motion of no confidence in Derek Prodger as chairman of the fire authority.
"However, I feel it would be more appropriate for you to take action yourself by removing him from the fire authority, thus, stopping any dirty washing being aired in public and the necessity for a motion of confidence."
Cllr Hardman said: "They can put down all the notices of motion they like, it's nothing to do with me as Cllr Prodger was elected (as chairman) by members of Hereford and Worcester Fire & Rescue Authority way of dealing with this matter by letting the county council decide.
"I would be amazed if we didn't support Derek Prodger.
"But I welcome the debate.
"When fire officers go on strike we'd expect the chief fire officer to go out and man a fire engine."
Cllr Prodger says he's done "nothing untoward" and is determined to carry on.
His stance means the motion is now almost certain to go to the vote of the entire council.
Mr Yates had private back surgery costing £5,090 back in October after deciding he was in too much pain to wait on the NHS.
He then claimed it on expenses, and 20 days after the operation was handed a contribution of £3,000 after four fire authority councillors, including Cllr Prodger as chairman, had a vote.
Mr Yates, who is paid £122,000, has now paid the money back.

Complimentary Seattle campus parking is available to fully retired UW retirees, their spouses or same-sex domestic partners (one permit per couple). Restrictions on parking location apply. See below.
This privilege is not transferable to others, including other relatives. Surviving spouses or same-sex domestic partners retain parking privileges, but need to obtain a new photo ID Husky card.

How to Get a Daily Parking Permit:
Obtain a daily parking permit by presenting your UW Retiree ID card to a Parking Specialist at a gatehouse each time you park on campus. The Retiree Card alone is not a parking permit.
Where to Park:
The Parking Specialist assigns a parking area. A gatehouse-issued permit allows parking based on space availability in most areas, EXCEPT:
- Disability/wheelchair spaces or lots, including Lot N22 (HUB), unless disability parking is requested at the gate house*
- Reserved parking spaces or areas as posted
- Restricted "All Times on All Days" spaces/areas
- Spaces marked University Vehicles Only (includes Physical Plant vehicles, service vehicles, trucks)
- Triangle & Surgery Pavilion Garages
- Lots C14, C17 and N03
- Parking meters or permit issuance machine areas (payment required)
Disability Permits
Wheelchair (WC) and Disability (D) Permit holders may park in disability spots matching their permit. Show non-UW disability permits with UW ID card at the gatehouse on arrival. Permanently and temporarily disabled retirees may request disability parking near their destination.
South Campus
Parking in the South Campus Garage (S1) is on a space-available basis. Not available to retirees on football game days except by a special disability permit issued in advance. For disability parking at games, call (206) 616-8710.
Special Events, Football Game Days
Complimentary parking for retirees on football game days and during other special events is available at the Central Parking Garage (enter at 15th Ave NE and NE 41st St.). Please present the UW Retiree card at the gatehouse. You may be redirected to a different designated area based on space availability if the garage fills.

Has the CAN-SPAM Act made things worse? - fat, fatter, fattest?
Has the CAN-SPAM Act made things worse? - fat, fatter, fattest?
The US CAN-SPAM Act
Stephen's Web, a useful site with a blog reference tool - highly recommended - links to a January 9, 2004 VNUnet.com article by Dinah Greek entitled "New laws will make spam worse", in which Dinah Greek reiterates her prediction that the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act - which works under the opt-out principle - will make things worse, not better, as far as the amount of spam is concerned, and points to recent statistics that spam has already increased and not decreased in 2004. In other words, our mailboxes will get fatter and fatter with unwanted e-mail - Spam in the fridge and Spam in the mailbox. [Note- In a previous posting, we were initially pleased that AOL in 2004 was marking most spam as [SPAM], which we thought was a step forward - but in fact, the number of e-mails so marked is now in fact increasing....]
The European Privacy and Communications Directive
Similarly ineffective appears to be The European Privacy and Communications Directive which works under the opt-in principle. Apparently, whether opt-in or opt-out, it appears to make no difference to the spammers.
The "Hampering" Courts
Not only is the effectiveness of legislative measures being questioned, but the courts are doing their share in making it hard to get at spammers legally, as demonstrated e.g. by a recent suit by AOL, a suit which was thrown out of court on the grounds that asserting jurisdiction in Virginia over the defendants in Florida would violate the defendants' due process rights because the sued "Florida computer technicians whose business maintained email systems and computer networks for customers [i.e. the big-time spammers]" ... "did [themselves] not actually direct electronic activity into Virginia, and did not intend specifically to engage in business in Virginia."
LawPundit has trouble with that decision as a matter of logic. Does this mean that those who would put up artillery on a State's borders - just for fun of course and without any malicious intent - would be immune from prosecution and only those physical persons who actually fired the weapons into an adjoining State would be the only ones over whom we could exercise interstate jurisdiction? Is this the ultimate result of the short-sighted and provincial gyrations of modern narrow-minded and apparently legally unsophisticated States' Rights advocates, whether in the legislatures or the courts?
Is it possible that our legislative and judiciary system is overtaxed with the issues of the digital age? Do individual legislators and judges have anywhere near the requisite information technology competence to deal with modern technological questions when these are brought to the vote or brought before the bench? What about out-dated judicial doctrines as such? Are old-fashioned concepts of jurisdiction completely out of place in dealing with the internet? These are the kinds of things that LawPundit would expect to be finding discussed through the leadership function of the US Supreme Court - but do we see any signs of that kind of leadership in the judiciary? or in Congress?
The Legal System is Behind the Times
The LawPundit view is that the legislative and judicial branches of government are simply out of step with the times. This applies particularly to the provincial State legislatures, populated with many local heroes wanting to run the show in their local regions, as in days of yore, BEFORE the United States became a powerful federalist nation under a strong central government. We see this in the apparent legislative, judicial and executive helplessness against spam, we see it in the false judicial application of patent laws to software, we see it in the partially hapless legislation and confused court decisions relating to the copying of music and file-sharing, and we see it in the antiquated handling of copyright issues. Rather than establishing certainty and order, which is one job of the legislative and judicial branches of government, we have on the contrary - as in the case of proliferating spam - a great deal of legal chaos and confusion.
The Absurdity of the Current Criminal Law System
Indeed, LawPundit is increasingly and greatly puzzled and estranged by the unfurling machinations of a legal system whereby a 68-year corporate executive - just recently - was put into PRISON for 15 months for not properly labeling the fat content of his donuts - while at the same time we are permitting hordes of fraudulent crooks and criminals and their accessories - scot-free - to daily fill our mail boxes with false, misleading and in fact even dangerous e-mails that are MUCH WORSE in their illicit nature than delicious donuts which are fatter than expected - and which, at least, are digestible. Much of what we receive in our spam e-mails is NOT digestible, by any means.
Curiously, the donut executive's greatest failing - which brought him into the jaws of the criminal law - was that his donuts "tasted too good" to some customers, who then began to doubt their low-fat content. The mistake that he made was in giving the public too much of what it wanted - for which he was punished. Did the punishment "fit" the crime? We do not think so. The key, of course - as the spammers have learned - is to stuff consumers full of what they do not want - and presto - not a hair on their heads will be touched by the government.
In any case, the American people and the youth of America are the fattest on this planet - not only by the bulges on their mailboxes but also by their physical being - but do not blame this "fattest title" on the one donut executive.
Rather, we must look to the culture (and its mirrored legal culture) for indications of where that culture should be changed and improved. This also applies to the United Kingdom.
Via Overlawyered via Armavirumque (Stefan Beck)
and initially Larry Willmore, we quote Willmore's thought page, quoting Theodore Dalrymple in the National Post through a link which is no longer operative (click the original link which takes one to the general Canada.com network), so thank you Larry for this text:
"Thought du jour: obesity
[The common man] is, at heart, ... the good savage whose innate decency was subverted by social influences such as giant food companies. Left to his own devices, the denizen of hamburger restaurants would eat fresh carrots and brown rice, his natural choices. He wouldn't want the horrible muck provided by fast food chains and processed food companies.
This picture is of a world in which humanity as a whole is good, but is so innocent that it is diverted from the paths of righteousness by a few evilly disposed persons such as the directors of food companies. .... Alas, reality is less flattering to our self-esteem.
In Britain, the second fattest country in the world after the United States, about half of households do not have a dining table. Many young people never learn to eat in a social way: .... People eat when they feel so inclined, by finding whatever there happens to be in the fridge and by heating it up ....
Theodore Dalrymple, "The devil's food cake made me do it", National Post, 5 July 2003.
[Theodore Dalrymple is a British physician who works in an inner-city hospital.]"
Put another way, we have a donut executive in prison who - like the fabled Jesus - is basically serving time for OUR sins.
Now what I think would mark a good legal system would be if the spammers were forced to do time for THEIR sins, and be made to work incessantly during their prison terms on anti-spam software solutions, whereas the donut executive should be released from prison and be instructed to do nutritional community work until the end of his sentence.
That would fit with my concepts of justice. As things now stand, the legal world is topsy-turvy.
[UPDATE: Here is a nice somewhat more detailed posting by Dan Fingerman with comments on specific provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act.]

Brewer to sign with the Mavs
Free-agent swingman Corey Brewer is closing in on a deal with the Dallas Mavericks, according to sources briefed on the discussions. Brewer was pursued by several teams after negotiating his release Monday from the New York Knicks, but sources said that the Mavericks have offered a multiyear deal to Brewer that starts in the $2 million range. Brewer was taken No. 7 overall in the 2007 draft by Minnesota and bought out earlier this week by the Knicks. He's expected to land a three-year deal worth between $7 million and $8 million with the Mavericks and will join the recently signed Peja Stojakovic to fill the void created by the loss of Caron Butler, who suffered a season-ending knee injury on Jan. 1

Chancellor Block Opines on Pauley Renovation
Came across this OP ED piece thumbing through the wrap this AM. Not sure how much of this is new but a few things jumped out at me. 1) Overall cost down $50 million to $136 million 2) $15 million in funds approved by student referendum will not be used on this project but reserved for others 3) The need for Chancellor Block to write such a piece. He must have felt that recently raised concerns over how the project will be funded required a response to ensure we had the support of UCLA community. Shovels in the ground on 5/11/2010 seems optimistic, but I'm hopeful.

The silver anniversary of the best trade in Braves history
A bad trade set up the best deal the Braves ever made, consummated Aug. 12, 1987.
On July 6, 1986, the Braves, 4 games out of first, traded promising right-hander Duane Ward for 35-year-old sourpuss Doyle Alexander, who was hardly a difference-maker. The Bravos finished in last place, while Ward would go on to save 121 games for the Blue Jays.
But he was no John Smoltz.
Nearing the end of another lost season, Bobby made Alexander available. The Tigers, locked in a tight race for the AL East title, made no secret of their interest but were reluctant to part with Steve Searcy, a highly touted southpaw.
[John] Hagemann, now a scout for the Phillies, was the Braves' scout in the Northeast for decades. He saw Smoltz pitch just twice for Glens Falls: once in a bullpen session, another time in a game. Yet the report that he submitted changed the career of a pitcher and the course of two franchises.
"I think my words were, 'The best arm I've seen so far,'" said Hagemann. "Top-of-the-rotation guy. That's how I saw him. I'm not a genius. I just recall a real live arm."
Hagemann, in fact, said that Smoltz was not on the initial list of names that he was sent to Glens Falls to scout.
"(The Tigers) gave us about three or four names (of trade candidates). I went in and watched them in about a three or four game series. I didn't like any of the names that they gave us," said Hagemann. "(Smoltz) showed me just a great arm. He was raw at the time, but showed me a real live fastball, really good stuff. I called (Cox) and I said, 'Bobby, I would just try to get Smoltz.'
"He said, 'Smoltz—who the hell is he?' I said, 'He's just an outstanding arm here.'
"(Cox) called back about 30 minutes later," Hagemann continued. "He said, 'John, they're willing to give him up. Should we do that?' I said, 'Yeah, absolutely—you'll be real happy you got this kid.' The rest is history."
Smoltzie was 4-10 with a 5.68 ERA and 1.631 WHIP at Double-A Glens Falls. He turned the corner the next year at Richmond, posting a 2.79 ERA and 1.149 WHIP.
"(The Tigers) changed just about everything about me. I thought I had a good delivery. I searched for two years and tried to figure it out," said Smoltz. "I got to Atlanta, and (Mazzone) said let me see you throw a baseball. I threw a baseball and he said, 'That's a great delivery. That's how you naturally throw a baseball.'
"From that point on, I was very relaxed and he said, 'Now we're just going to work on your pitches.' That's all I worked on. I actually was able to progress because I didn't have to think about 14 different spots I was going to in my delivery. I just had to worry about throwing a pitch."
Smoltz insists that there is "no way" that he would have been in the majors, let alone a successful major leaguer, for at least three years had he remained with the Tigers. With the Braves, however, he moved quickly, and enjoyed rapid success.
On Aug. 17, 1987, five days after the Smoltz trade, a young left-hander made his major league debut for the Braves. Tom Glavine walked 5 and allowed 10 hits and 6 runs in just 3-2/3 IP that night against the Astros, but it was all uphill from there for the former hockey center and the Bravos.

The harbormaster there was able to hold the body against the dock until deputies arrived.
Detectives are now investigating, and the body will be turned over to the Multnomah County Medical Examiner's Office.

Keeping Our Brains Young

If I only had a brain!
That's Mehmet Oz, M.D., above, showing me how different a healthy brain looks and feels compared with a brain that is riddled with Alzheimer's disease. It was an amazing lesson: the Alzheimer's brain was stiff and withered while the healthy brain was plump and soft.
It wasn't the first such lesson I'd had with Dr. Oz. I met him years ago, before he was a TV star and best-selling author of the You health books. He was just a rock-star heart surgeon then. It was a life-changing experience for me to stand on a stool in his OR and watch him perform open-heart surgery on a young woman (I mentioned that in a blog a while back). At other times with him I was lucky enough to compare a healthy artery with one stiff and coated with calcified plaque—a heart attack in the making. I also got to hold a liver and feel the rock-hard, enormous malignant tumor in it. That poor patient didn't stand a chance.
These were the best kinds of lessons I could get outside of attending medical school. But holding that diseased brain (which took place at a recent small event in New York on how to keep our brains young) really motivated me. That's a disease I don't want to get, and I'm sure you don't, either! The latest research shows that one way to help avoid Alzheimer's and cognitive decline in general is aerobic exercise. It's really one of the most important things we can do for ourselves.
I've been a little sedentary the past few weeks, since it's been the hottest summer on record here in New York City. I've found myself making excuses for not exercising. But those brains reminded me that there's no excuse not to get moving and work up a sweat. In fact, studies show that intense exercise can even make your brain grow. Join me in pledging to get moving, and let's get smarter together!
