ABC Breathlessly Hypes Romney's 'Troubling' 'Teenage Bullying'; Did He Go 'Too Far?'
ABC on Thursday and Friday breathlessly hyped the "troubling" details of Mitt Romney's "teenage bullying," events that ocurred 47 years ago. On Friday's Good Morning America, co-anchor George Stephanopoulos, a former Democratic operative, introduced, "It's your voice, your vote and new questions today about whether Mitt Romney's teenage pranks went too far." On Thursday, World News was the only evening newscast to actually lead with the story.
Reporter David Muir, who covered the story on GMA and World News, managed to use the world troubling twice in one sentence, insisting that the bully victim's family is "reacting to that troubling account from those five grown men, all former classmates of Mitt Romney, among them a lawyer, a dentist, a school principal all who described a troubling scene." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
On Thursday, Diane Sawyer hyperbolically proclaimed, "Five of Romney's former classmates have come forward to tell the same story, accusations creating a firestorm and Romney is forced to respond."
The story first appeared on the Washington Post's website, Thursday. On Friday's GMA, Muir made no mention of the fact that, as reported in the Post, the witnesses to this alleged bullying "mostly lean Democratic."
On World News, Muir touted the incident as "supreme bullying." He asked one of the witnesses, Phillip Maxwell, "...Is he a Democrat, is he a Republican?" Maxwell insisted he has "voted for both" parties.
In comparison, back on May 2, 2012, Sawyer glowingly read love letters Barack Obama read to a young girlfriend: "Oh, we were all so romantic when we were young."
As for the Post, which devoted 5000 words to Romney's teenage mischief, the paper in 2008 had no interest in Barack Obama's cocaine use when he was a young man.

A transcript of the May 11 GMA segment can be found below:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: A lot of news on the presidential campaign trail yesterday. Mitt Romney is now accused of being a bully back in high school. A new report came out yesterday. Accusations that he helped pin down a classmate and chop his hair off. The bully's family [sic] is speaking out right now. The question is how much does it matter? How much will it matter? We're going to get into that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: We're going to get to the race for president now. It's your voice, your vote and new questions today about whether Mitt Romney's teenage pranks went too far. The candidate apologized yesterday after one report that he bullied a classmate by pinning him down and chopping off his hair. ABC's David Muir covers the Romney campaign. And, Dave, I know you've been talking to people who were there. And overnight, the bullied boy's family spoke out as well.
DAVID MUIR: Yeah, the family is speaking out, George, reacting to that troubling account from those five grown men all former classmates of Mitt Romney, among them a lawyer, a dentist, a school principal all who described a troubling scene. The group, they say, including Mitt Romney pinning down a fellow student and cutting off his hair because he was different. Mitt Romney's apology comes after five of his former high school classmates described the same incident to the Washington Post: the targeting of another boy because most of them thought he was gay, holding him down and cutting off his long hair he dyed blond. One of those former classmates Phillip Maxwell now a lawyer telling ABC News, "It's something you don't forget. When I saw the look on his face, it was a look I'll never forget. When you see a victim, the sense of trust betrayed in this boy who was perfectly innocent for being different." Maxwell said he and Romney were among the boys who held the boy down and that Romney was holding the scissors. "I saw it with my own eyes. It was a hack job, clumps of hair taken off." When Romney was asked if he remembered the incident, if he knew the boy was gay-
MITT ROMNEY: You know, I don't remember that incident and I'll tell you, I certainly don't believe that I thought the fellow was homosexual. That was the furthest thing from my minds back in the 1960s.
MUIR: Romney is now apologizing.
ROMNEY: There is no question but that I did some stupid things when I was in high school and obviously if I hurt anyone by virtue of that, I would be very sorry for it and apologize.
MUIR: For months now, Romney's pranks have been considered a selling point for the campaign. His wife Ann-
ANN ROMNEY: He's always playing jokes. I still look at him as the boy that I met in high school when he was playing all the jokes and really just being crazy, pretty crazy.
MUIR: Meantime, another former classmate now defending Romney, saying what happened in high school was likely a joke too.
GREGG DEARTH (Cranbrook class of '65): My suspicion is that they jokingly said, "Hey, let's go cut his hair" and went down the hall and, you know, you hold the scissors close to his ear and you make a lot of snipping sounds and you may traumatize the guy a little or scare the guy a little, but no harm, no foul.
MUIR: Overnight when ABC News met up with one of the sisters of the alleged victim, showing her the Washington Post account, her eyes welded up with tears saying even if it did happen her brother probably wouldn't have said anything. Later, the family issuing a statement, saying "the portrayal of John is factually incorrect and we are aggrieved that he would be used to further a political agenda." John Lauber, the student who these men say was targeted, died of cancer in 2004. And, George, one of the men in this account said he ran into Lauber in the airport years later. Saw him, went up to him and apologized. And he said Lauber said to him, "this is something I carried with me my entire life."

to read how those 5 grown adult professional men have held onto hs pranks and supposedly been troubled about them for almost 50 years.
I used to think todays generation had been wussified by their parents, spoiled and turned into cry babies. But it looks like I was wrong because this isn't unique to today's kids but appears to stretch back to kids of the 60's. Who'da thought? I really thought those people hadn't been wimified and had better coping skills - that they didn't over react everytime they thought someone hurt their ittie bittie feelings. I guess I was wrong. I imagine they had "the vapors" over some of the actual hateful things done & said back in the 60's. How did they survive?

This is a coordinated attack on Romney's character by the media
Submitted by OxyCon on Fri, 05/11/2012 - 3:26pm.
Follow along:
1). One of the men who accused Romney in this article is/was a member of Obama's campaign
2). Obama launches "anti-bullying" campaign out of the blue
3). Obama then comes out in favor of Gay marriage moths later
4). Washington Post conveniently drops "Romney is a Gay bully" article the following day
5). Obama's media palace guards run with the story the following day to portray Romney as a Gay bully
The Obama campaign orchestrated this whole anti-bullying campaign because they knew through their campaign surrogate about this episode in Romney's past. They then fed the story to the Washington Post so that the story was there waiting for the day after Obama announced his support for Gay marriage.
This whole thing was designed as a character assassination plot to cast Romney as a Gay bully. Axelrod said that they had a bunch of dirt they were going to drop on Romney each week to keep him off balance. This is going to happen every week now until the election.

If this happened, why didn't the kid complain at the time or the parents do something about it. Romney's father was a well known personality being a Governor and all.

CATEGORIES Action, Animation, Scripts, Dreamworks, Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Comic/Superhero/Geek, CinematicalI'm still not sold on this performance-capture stuff (Beowulf looks terrible), but leave it to Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and a little adventuring character named Tintin to change my mind ... hopefully. Dreamworks and producer Kathleen Kennedy (E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial) are busy working on their 3-D animated trilogy based on Georges "Herge" Remi's iconic Belgian reporter character, and I'm really hoping they get it right. Although they haven't yet found a third filmmaker to helm the installment not being directed by Spielberg or Jackson, they have hired a screenwriter. According to The Hollywood Reporter, British television vet Steven Moffat will script all three parts. The guy has written for series' as diverse as Coupling, Doctor Who and this past summer's Jekyll. Is he ready to tackle such a big-deal project?
Personally, I'm not worried about the scripts for the Tintin movies. Herge was such a great storyteller that I can't imagine it would be difficult to adapt his work. What I'm more worried about is how the film will look. From what we've heard so far, they're attempting something that looks realistic (or live-action) while still retaining the look of Herge's drawings (which are cartoons). Sure, I want to be able to trust Spielberg and Jackson (as Scott mentioned awhile back: if you can't trust them, who can you trust?), but then I haven't seen any performance-capture work that I've been satisfied with -- at least not anything that encompassed an entire film and all of its characters. Will it be more like Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf, which looks too much like a video game, or will it be more like Jackson's work with Andy Serkis in both his Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong? Or will it be something totally new, unlike anything we've ever seen? All I have to say is that I hope Zemeckis isn't the third director hired.

Upper School play: "Noises Off"
Fri, 01/29/2010 - 7:30pm
Location:Cabell Center Theater
In his plot for Noises Off, English playwright Michael Frayn plays on the concept of a play within a play, in this case a dreadful sex comedy titled Nothing On—the type of play in which young girls run about in their underwear, old men drop their trousers, and many doors continually open and shut. Nothing On is set in "a delightful 16th-century posset mill" that has been converted to a modern dwelling for which renters are solicited; the fictional playwright is appropriately named Robin Housemonger. Each of the three acts of Noises Off contains a performance of the first act of Nothing On. (Wikepedia)

Torture Case Tests Obama Secrecy Policy
Monday, January 26, 2009 at 6:05 am
President Obama's sweeping reversals of torture and state secret policies are about to face an early test.
After Obama issued an executive order and two presidential memoranda last week proclaiming a new transparency in the workings of the federal government, advocates for open government were thrilled.
"That was an order we were really looking for," said Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
The test of those commitments will come soon in key court cases involving CIA "black sites" and torture that the Bush administration had quashed by claiming they would reveal state secrets and endanger national security. Legal experts say that the Bush Department of Justice used what's known as the "state secrets privilege" – created originally as a narrow evidentiary privilege for sensitive national security information — as a broad shield to protect the government from exposure of its own misconduct.
One such case, dealing with the gruesome realities of the CIA's so-called "extraordinary rendition" program, is scheduled for oral argument before a federal appeals court in early February. The position the Obama administration takes in this case may be the first major test of its new policies on transparency in government.
Mohamed v. Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc. involves five victims of CIA rendition, or "torture by proxy," as it's also known. Abducted abroad, the men were flown by the CIA to cooperating countries whose agents interrogated them under torture. Because federal officials are usually immune from lawsuits, the men later sued the private aviation data company, Jeppesen — a subsidiary of Boeing, one of the largest federal defense contractors — that knowingly provided the flight plans and other assistance necessary for the CIA to carry out its clandestine operations.
The ACLU filed suit on behalf of this group of victims in May 2007, but the Bush administration quickly swooped in, waving the flag of the state secrets privilege. Insisting that the very subject of the lawsuit – the CIA's rendition program – is itself a state secret, the Justice Department convinced the federal court in California, where Jeppesen is based, to dismiss the case on the grounds that it would harm national security.
By this time though, the CIA's torture practices had already been widely publicized. As it happens, on the same day that Justice Department lawyers were in a federal court in California insisting that the case against Jeppesen be dismissed to protect CIA secrecy, CIA Director Michael Hayden was testifying before the Senate Select Intelligence Committee under oath that the CIA had waterboarded three prisoners in its custody. Earlier, Hayden had given a speech about "the CIA's rendition, detention and interrogation programs" at the Council on Foreign Relations. Previous CIA Directors Porter Goss and George Tenet — and even President Bush, in a speech in September 2006 — had also described and defended the program.
In fact, by the time this lawsuit was filed, the CIA's rendition of suspected terrorists to foreign countries to be tortured had become an international scandal. Foreign countries such as Egypt, Switzerland, the UK and others that had cooperated with the CIA had been forced to investigate; those investigations had corroborated many of the allegations that are the subject of the case pending against Jeppesen.
Still, the U.S. government, now under President Obama, continues to insist in a brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that "[t]he sensitivity of the information at issue in this litigation, and the serious harms that would result from its disclosure, compel the Government to assert the state secrets privilege." The Obama administration has not filed any new briefs or amendments in the case.
If the court agrees, none of the victims of rendition in this case — or likely, in any other — will get his day in court.
"These victims not only haven't been compensated, they haven't even been heard," said Ben Wizner, one of the lead ACLU lawyers handling the case. "Torture victims deserve acknowledgment and compensation."
Take the case of one of Wizner's clients, Binyam Mohamed. A 28-year-old Ethiopian citizen and legal resident of the UK, Mohamed was arrested at the airport in Karachi, Pakistan on immigration charges in April 2002. For the next three months, he was held in secret detention, interrogated and tortured by Pakistani authorities, he says; he was also questioned by US and British agents.
In July, according to the lawsuit, he was turned over to the exclusive custody of the United States, whose agents stripped, shackled, and blindfolded him, then dressed him in a tracksuit and dragged him on board a Gulfstream V jet aircraft. With assistance from Jeppesen Dataplan, Mohamed was flown to Morocco, where he was turned over to local police and interrogated under torture for the next 18 months. Mohamed says he was routinely beaten to the point of losing consciousness and, as the ACLU describes in its legal brief, "a scalpel was used to make incisions all over his body, including his penis, after which a hot stinging liquid was poured into his open wounds."
In January 2004, Mohamed was returned to the custody of U.S. officials, flown to Afghanistan and tortured again, he said, this time at a secret CIA prison. After months of beatings and interrogation following sleep and food deprivation, according to the lawsuit, he was transferred to the prison at Guantanamo Bay, where he remains today.
The stories of Abou Brital, Ahmed Agiza, Mohamed Bashmilah and Bisher Al-Rawi are similar, and much in their accounts is corroborated. Ahmed Agiza's rendition and torture in Egypt, for example, has been investigated and publicly acknowledged by the government of Sweden, where he was seeking asylum when he was captured. (He's now serving 15 years in an Egyptian prison for membership in a banned Islamic organization.) Jeppesen's role is also public record, revealed in documents produced in separate inquiries by the Council of Europe and the European Parliament.
Meanwhile, Britain's High Court of Justice, which corroborated much of Binyam Mohamed's story in its own investigation, in August ruled that Mohamed was entitled to obtain documents from the British government to establish that he was tortured so he can seek to exclude evidence extracted by torture as unreliable if he is ever prosecuted by U.S. authorities.
Curiously, however, part of the government's "state secrets" claim rests on the need to protect information about the participation of U.S. allies in the CIA's rendition program.
"It would be a remarkable irony if this Court were to affirm the dismissal of this suit in order to protect from disclosure the roles played by other nations – when those very nations are engaged in proceedings that continue to expose precisely the relationships and information that the United States here characterizes as 'state secrets', " the men's lawyers write in a brief filed with the court of appeals.
The Department of Justice declined to comment on this case. In its brief filed before President Obama took office, however, it argues, largely on the basis of a classified declaration of former CIA Director Michael Hayden submitted "in camera" – that is, for exclusive review by the judge — that release of any information pertaining to this case would harm national security. Hayden's statement "explained more fully than was possible on the public record the scope of information subject to the privilege assertion, and the harms that would flow from its disclosure," Justice Department lawyers wrote. Although the victims perhaps "cannot appreciate fully the reasons for the district court's conclusion . . . or comprehend the substantial harm to national security and foreign relations that could reasonably be expected to result from litigating this case," the court of appeals should rest assured that the government's reasoning is sound, write the government lawyers.
Contacted last week by TWI, a Justice Department spokesman would not say whether the new Obama administration would change its position in this case. He confirmed only that oral arguments are scheduled for Feb. 9.
If the Obama administration maintains the government's position in this case, said Wizner, it would further the Bush administration's strategy of turning the state secrets privilege into a blanket immunity for the most egregious and unlawful government action.
"Every single civil torture case that's been filed has been dismissed at the pleadings stage on what non-lawyers would call a technicality," said Wizner, referring to the state secrets and government immunity defenses that have succeeded in other torture cases.
In another lawsuit filed by the ACLU in 2006 on behalf of rendition victim Khaled El-Masri, for example, a federal court in Virginia accepted the government's same argument that the subject of the entire case was privileged and dismissed the lawsuit. El-Masri was a German citizen and car salesman when he was abducted in 2003 by U.S. authorities, transported to a secret CIA prison in Afghanistan and tortured, until he was released without charge in 2004, dumped on a hill in Albania. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, an ideologically conservative court long dominated by Republican judges, affirmed the lawsuit's dismissal. (The Ninth Circuit Court in California that will hear the Jeppesen case is considered more liberal.)
"The Bush administration said over and over not just that these programs were necessary, but that they were legal," insists Wizner. "But they've never allowed any court to rule on it."
None of the victims involved in the case against Jeppesen were available to talk to TWI, but in an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, Khaled El-Masri wrote after his case was dismissed in 2007:
"Above all, what I want from the lawsuit is a public acknowledgment from the U.S. government that I was innocent, a mistaken victim of its rendition program, and an apology for what I was forced to endure. Without this vindication, it has been impossible for me to return to a normal life."
Advocates hope the new administration will stop using the state secrets defense to avoid providing that kind of acknowledgment.
"Instead of this notion that the entire subject matter of the lawsuit is a state secret, there should be a parsing of the evidence," said Sharon Bradford Franklin, senior counsel at the Constitution Project, an independent nonprofit think tank that issued a comprehensive report last year on the need to reform the state secrets privilege. "The new administration might have a valid state secrets claim about some particular pieces of evidence, but it shouldn't be the entire lawsuit. We all know there's been this extraordinary rendition program. The government should consent to an independent review by a judge as to what evidence should or should not be disclosed."
More broadly, advocates have been pressing for a law such as the bipartisan State Secrets Protection Act, introduced by Sens. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Arlen Specter (R-Penn.) last year, that would codify and narrow the state secrets privilege "to restore the role of the courts as an independent check," says Franklin. They've also asked the Obama transition team to change the government's policy on its use.
"We've asked that the Attorney General put in place a much better system for reviewing when the Justice Department will assert the state secrets privilege," said Meredith Fuchs, General Counsel for the National Security Archives at George Washington University. "Because once it's asserted it's tremendously powerful."
In a memorandum issued to the heads of all agencies last week, President Obama wrote: "The Government should not keep information confidential merely because public officials might be embarrassed by disclosure, because errors and failures might be revealed, or because of speculative or abstract fears. Nondisclosure should never be based on an effort to protect the personal interests of Government officials at the expense of those they are supposed to serve."
Advocates will watch closely to see how the Obama administration will handle this and other cases that under the Bush administration were stymied by government secrecy.
"Because the Bush administration was so secretive and it played out in so much litigation," said Fuchs, "what happens in these cases is a good test of whether the Obama administration really means what it's saying."

Rules are made for all times whether good or bad. There is no point to making a rule that you can break when it is hard to apply or circumstances make it "inconvenient". As soon as you create an exception to the rule then you have stepped on the slippery slope to no rule, to disaster.
I applaud and agree with the previous referenced article by Mr. Anthony Milavic.

From Bushit's "prohibition" against "inhumane treatment," the negation –
". . . . including those who are not legally entitled to such treatment."
NO HUMAN is excluded from the Geneva protections, and the prohibitions against coercive, or worse, treatments — regardless the labels invented and imputed to them. In addition, one does not determine that a person is an "illegal" anything without doing so in accordance with due proces, legal process, in a properly constituted legal forum in which full due process applies.
There is no such thing as an "illegal combatant," either in law or in reason, at very least short of a competent tribunal determining a person to be such. And even were it found that a person were such, coercive and worse treatment remains prohibited.

The Jacksonville Jaguars had a golden opportunity to upset the Houston Texans Sunday, but could not capitalize on any of the several chances to put the game away, eventually losing in overtime, 43-37.
The Jaguars held a 14-point lead after scoring a touchdown with just over 12 minutes remaining in the game, but Matt Schaub and the Texans offense got the ball back and marched down the field and scored to cut the lead to seven. Jacksonville promptly went three-and-out on the following possession, then allowed the Texans to drive and score again, and with 1:34 remaining in regulation, the game was tied.
In overtime, the Texans had possession after each team had converted a field goal earlier in the period. Schaub threw an interception, which put the Jaguars on the Houston side of the 50-yard line. Needing only a few yards to move into field goal range, Jacksonville managed to not move the ball at all, turning it over on downs and losing soon after on an Andre Johnson touchdown pass.
Adam Stites of SB Nation's Jacksonville Jaguars blog, Big Cat Country, took the heartbreaking loss in the best fashion possible--with optimism looking towards the future.
In a game that was very successful for the Jaguars offense, the team received contributions from players that have been very quiet for most of the season. Chad Henne, in replacement of the injured Blaine Gabbert, completed 16-of-33 passes for 354 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions...While the loss is frustrating considering the opportunities the Jaguars were afforded, it also presented positives that haven't come often in a 1-9 season.

MPs urge talks with Russia over wood tariffs
print this
A discussion in Parliament on Wednesday on protecting the Finnish forest industry focused on the issue of the export tariffs imposed on raw timber by the Russian government.
"During the time of President
the matter would have been taken care of", said MP
Kimmo Sasi
(Nat. Coalition Party), who also criticised the present government for being passive. He said that he would have expected the current president to be more active in the matter.
Sasi was joined
by Left Alliance MP
Esko-Juhani Tennilä
, who noted that the issue has not taken care of itself via Brussels.
Tennilä called for a special high-level team that would engage in direct negotiations with Russia.
The discussion
on the current topic was launched on the basis of a decision by the Parliamentary Presidium at the initiative of MP
Kari Rajamäki
Rajamäki looked back wistfully at the forest policy summits organised by former Prime Minister
Paavo Lipponen
. He also warned the present government against hasty implementation of road use fee systems, whose impact on the costs of business and on trade with Russia has not been thoroughly assessed.
The implementation of Russia's plans
for wood tariffs would increase the amount of wood felled in Finland by 10-15 million cubic metres, and many Parliamentarians emphasised that the present forest and rail network could not withstand the additional burden.
This gave Minister of Transport
Anu Vehviläinen
(Centre) the opportunity to point out that on Wednesday she had set up a working group to examine the impact of tracks with a low level of usage on the securing of wood supplies.
It fell upon the government to persuade Parliamentarians that everything was being done to fight the planned wood tariffs. Prime Minister
Matti Vanhanen
(Centre) and Foreign Trade Minister
Paavo Väyrynen
(Centre) listed the meetings that they have had over the matter.
In Vanhanen's view, negotiations on the timing of the wood tariffs are still going on, and he believes that it is possible to influence them.
The Prime Minister said
that Russian President
Vladimir Putin
had insisted that Russia is seeking a solution that does not harm Finnish interests. Prime Minister
has said that Russia is ready to discuss the timing of the increases in export tariffs, and the types of wood that they would apply to.
"Finland understands Russia's goal of raising the degree of refining wood in Russia, but notes at the same time that the way that it has chosen will not lead to the desired result", Vanhanen said.
As Vanhanen sees it, Russia's wood resources are so plentiful and they grow so rapidly that there will be enough both for export, and for processing at home.
The debate covered
nearly all of the key questions of Finnish forest policy of recent decades, from caring for seedlings, to taxation, and education.
The government has already decided to increase funding for basic care for forests by a total of EUR 20 million by 2011.

Area One councillors will fight to 'bitter end' to save Wanstead and Woodford police station front counters
12:00pm Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in Redbridge By Melanie Attlesey
Opposition to the proposed front counter closures in police stations in the west of the borough remains high as councillors pledged they will fight to the bitter end.
Last night at the Area One Committee meeting, councillors and residents were informed of the proposals made in Draft Police and Crime Plan and the Metropolitan Police's Estate Strategy.
Under the proposals Wanstead and Woodford would lose their front counters, while Barkingside police station opening hours would be reduced and Ilford police station would become Redbridge's only 24 hour front counter.
Police officer numbers in the borough would increase from 444 to 530, which is the third highest increase in London.
Safer Neighbourhood Teams would be scrapped and replaced with Neighbourhood Teams with officers working flexibly across wards, rather than being dedicated to one.
Labour activist Greg Eglin warned these proposals was a return to sector policing.
He said: "Safer Neighbourhood Teams are vital to fighting crime in London.
"They build local knowlegde and get to know their patches.
"It is important this move to sector policing is stopped."
Councillors were quick to reassure residents they remain opposed to any proposals, despite the leader of the Labour Party in Redbridge, Jas Athwal, accusing the Conservative leader of the council, Keith Prince, of giving up on the fight at full council last week.
Cllr Chris Cummins said: "Redbridge Council remains unanimously opposed to these closures.
"The principle of a police station is to provide reassurance to residents and act as a deterrant to criminals.
"We are committed to fighting to the bitter end for our police stations."
Cllr Alex Wilson added: "We remain completely opposed to any closures of Wanstead police station.
"We believe officers need to be based and deployed locally. It is not a case of either or here, we need to keep our officers and our police stations."
Councillors agreed to put forward their objections so Redbridge Council can make a response to the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime on the proposals.
The Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Stephen Greenhalgh, will attend meeting will be held in Redbridge Town Hall, Ilford, on February 11 from 8pm.

Wanstead should have been shut years and years ago. Woodford is close enough and large enough for it to still warrant an existence.
Better off turning that one into flats and keeping Wanstead as it looks pretty in the Back drop of the Church and Green and all the Residents (NIMBY's) will play up like merry hell should it become something they do not like which could affect their house price.
I think it is shut most of the time like Woodford and if you need a Police Officer they are normally parked up around the Green somewhere.

Pepperdine Concludes Regular Season With 1-0 Win Over San Francisco
Nov. 8, 2003
Box Score
Freshman forward Jennifer Brewer's goal late in the first half proved to be the only score of the match and lifted the No. 21 Pepperdine women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over San Francisco in both team's regular-season finale Saturday afternoon at Negoesco Stadium.
The Waves concluded the regular season with a 13-5-1 overall record and a 3-3-1 mark in West Coast Conference (WCC) play, while San Francisco ended its year with a 5-14-0 overall record and a 1-6-0 mark in conference action.
Pepperdine will now direct its focus to Monday when seedings for the 64-team NCAA Tournament will be announced. The announcement will be carried live on ESPNNEWS beginning at 12:30 p.m. The Waves are expected to receive an at-large bid into the tournament.
Bewer broke a scoreless tie at the 40:37 mark when she received a pass from senior Lacey Ubaldi inside the box and beat San Francisco goalkeeper Jennifer Orantes. It marked Brewer's eighth goal of the season, while Ubaldi recorded her team-leading seventh assist of the year and increased her team-leading point total to 25.
The contest was a defensive struggle as Pepperdine held a 5-4 advantage in shots.

John Benton was getting ready to leave for work one day this July when the family's dog, Titan, started blocking the doorway.
"He ran down the steps and would not let me go out the front door," Benton said. "He was barking and running around in circles, he'd run up a few flights of steps and run back down just to keep me from going to let me know something was wrong. And that's when I followed him up the stairs to see what he was trying to tell me."
What he found was his wife, Gloria, on the floor, her head bleeding. They later found out she had suffered from a brain aneurysm and had fallen and fractured her skull. John said doctors told him if Titan hadn't alerted him that Gloria was in trouble, she might have not survived.
Now, Titan is being honored as "Neighbor of the Year" by the Vintage Pointe Neighborhood Association. He is the first dog to receive this honor, and the first male.

Highmark officials struggle with filling hospital beds, integrating care
Highmark Inc. wants to save West Penn Allegheny Health System with a $475 million acquisition that it says will preserve competition for medical services in Western Pennsylvania.
At the same time, the state's largest health care insurance company says its strategy includes establishing an integrated health care delivery system — including hospitals, outpatient centers, physician practices and insurance — that will promote "innovative care models and lower-cost sites of treatment."
Those two goals, however, create a paradox for Highmark: To improve quality and reduce costs, an integrated system must shift treatment away from hospitals, experts say.
Successful integrated health systems "see hospitals as the most expensive place to get care," said Dr. Jason Hwang, a physician and executive director of health care research at Innosight Institute, a nonprofit think tank in Mountain View, Calif.
"It's a failure if people end up in the hospital — most successful systems think that way," Hwang said.
A 15 percent decrease in hospital patients contributed to West Penn Allegheny's $51.8 million operating loss in its most recent financial year, which ended June 30.
Getting patients back into hospital beds is key to returning the system to profitability. West Penn Allegheny and Highmark have announced $38 million in short-term upgrades to West Penn Hospital in Bloomfield and Forbes Regional Hospital in Monroeville to do just that.
But the region likely has more hospital space than it can use, said Frank Trembulak, chief operating officer for Geisinger Health System, an integrated provider based in Danville, Montour County, about an hour north of Harrisburg.
"It just adds more capacity that the market doesn't need if you keep West Penn Allegheny Health System alive and well," Trembulak said.
Geisinger has been promoted by Highmark, lawmakers and others as having a model for health care delivery that Highmark should emulate because it has reduced costs and improved care by creating a system that rewards doctors for keeping patients out of the hospital. "How do we keep you healthy and well and at home?" is the philosophical question that drives Geisinger's strategy.
Trembulak said his nonprofit organization supports Highmark's acquisition of West Penn Allegheny and believes it will stimulate much-needed competition in Pittsburgh. But the region will have to reduce hospital capacity eventually, whether its at West Penn Allegheny five hospitals or Pittsburgh's dominant provider, UPMC, itself an integrated system of 19 hospitals, more than 3,000 doctors and an insurance subsidiary.
"As the approach becomes more efficient ... capacity overages will become apparent," Trembulak said.
So how does the Geisinger system, which posted net income of $201 million in 2010 on revenue of $5.6 billion, stay viable• Geisingers operates two hospitals in Danville and Wilkes Barre, with 727 total beds, more than 800 doctors and 13,000 employees.
Geisinger provides "the right care at the right time with the right level of resource," Trembulak said. It recruits physicians, about 100 a year on average, and pays them based on keeping patients healthy. It treats people in outpatient centers, clinics and doctors' offices throughout Central Pennsylvania. And it moves hospital patients quickly into rehabilitation centers and skilled nursing facilities.
"With an integrated system, you're able to manage the economics so you keep the parties whole," he said.
That's the strategy Highmark apparently will pursue.
"Recently a lot of provider systems, in order to maximize revenue, had been moving care more into the hospital setting," Highmark CEO Dr. Kenneth Melani said during a Nov. 1 news conference. "It's mainly an attempt to just increase revenue."
Highmark as an integrated system will build 10 outpatient centers, or medical malls, in the Pittsburgh area. It will boost technology and make other upgrades to existing West Penn Allegheny facilities. It will acquire or partner with more doctors and community hospitals. And it will focus on wellness and preventive care.
And that's only what the company has publicly announced. Highmark spokesman Michael Weinstein last week said, "much of the provider elements of Highmark's overall business strategy is still evolving." He said it would be "premature" to discuss specifics Highmark executives are planning for the provider strategy, and he declined to provide dollar figures Highmark expects to invest as it builds out its integrated system.
"We are not going to be driven by the economics of boosting revenue," Melani said Nov. 1. "And so we want it to be convenient, we want it to be effective, and we want it to be efficient, economically efficient."
But the strategy is not without its challenges.
"How are you going to bring back the doctors?" asked Steve Foreman, a health care economist at Robert Morris University. Employed physicians are key to the success of an integrated system because they "triage patients — they direct where they go for care."
Just look at UPMC, which "is the facility of choice for doctors," Foreman said. "Highmark may not be able to hire them away from UPMC."
About 25 percent of Allegheny County's physicians are in private practice, according to the Allegheny County Medical Society. That means Highmark and UPMC may be fighting for each other's doctors.
Dr. Leo McCafferty, president of the medical society, said: "There is a healthy competition between the two organizations to hire or attract the best physicians."
And once they have a strong network of employed physicians, Highmark has to figure out how to pay primary-care doctors the same or more based on how healthy they keep the patients, not how many tests or procedures are performed, said Jordan Battani, an expert with CSC Healthcare Group, a consulting company based in Falls Church, Va.
"The real hope for getting control of both the quality and cost inflation lies with physicians," Battani said. "The real long-term hope is to transform the primary care experience."

I don't think this technique will work for a pilot bushing. The difference is that the piston in the pressure regulator valve is a slip fit and you need only a slight "grab" internally to remove it. This can be done without swelling the outside diameter of the piston using the dowel rod and wedge because there is a clearance between the bore and the piston.
The pilot bushings are friction fit already and any internal expansion will increase the friction fit and prevent the bushing from pulling out.

Number of ratings 9 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
The TA was a brutal grader and not helpful when trying to figure out where you went wrong on a problem. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out problems on my own due to the unfocused instruction. He did very few examples and can be difficult to understand. He also has a bad habit of talking down to students. I did not enjoy this class.
Worst ever professor I have experienced. He does not care what you can learn from the class. I am not sure if knows the materials well. He only talks about thing which is useful to him not to the students.
Great person, very very very difficult to understand. Go to the TA's office hours for homework help. The class is incredibly difficult. Although not impossible, it will take LOTS of work. Do not take until you've covered Calc 3.
Cares very much about his students. The material for the class was somewhat difficult but the way the quizzes were given (open book and open slide show notes) made the class easy to perform well in. Also lowest 2 quizzes and 1 homework were dropped. TA helps a lot with homework if you go to office hours. Take class if interested in subject.
The lectures are not helpful, so I recommend reading the book. The actual material is easy. Grade is based on: 4 quizzes, 4 hws, 3 exams. Attendance is not mandatory but replaces lowest hw/quiz grade. Quizzes are multiple choice, exams are not. TA's gave review before each test which was a lot like what was on the test.
This guy war very unclear about subject material. I tried to pay attention for the first month of class but eventually just stopped paying attention. Attended classes for the attendance grade.The subject matter is easy if you read the book and teach yourself well. Exmas are relatively tough and had huge standard deviations. This class was a joke.

Hillarious!!!! He is a very good teacher. He knows how to keep the class interested even though it is not intentional. He is pretty clumsy...I really enjoyed his class.
Honors financial engineering- wants most of the students to earn A's so presumably there will be a big curve at the end of the semester. Misses class a lot because of conferences and TA teaches which is confusing sometimes. Awesome subject matter and prof has great enthusiasm for class. Small class.

Photo of me playing with the iPad 2 before heading into the office
It's funny how we're giving away a brand new iPad 2 on our website yet I don't have one myself to review. Last night I sought to fix this by venturing into a place called Mong Kok in Hong Kong to buy one. For those who are aware of the iPad 2′s official release dates, you would know that Hong Kong is not listed as one of the first countries to get them this Friday. Those on sale in Mong Kok are therefore sold at a premium with markups of up to $300-$400 on the higher spec'd model!

Nebraska Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy, who is married, resigns following questions over "improper cell phone calls" to other women—
Michael van Poppel (@mpoppel) February 02, 2013
Good news for Sen. Bob Menendez: there's another "sex" scandal of sorts going on this weekend, and it doesn't involve you whatsoever. The bad news: Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy, a Republican, has set a rather high bar for elected officials by resigning his post in the face of what has been called "improper cell phone calls to four women, other than his wife." Omaha.com piles on the salacious details, adding that the calls were made on a state-issued cell phone and were made "in the wee hours of the night."

For the past six months the people behind "KPFAWorker/SaveKPFA" have run a relentless, dishonest and destructive PR campaign – both on and off the air – against KPFA and Pacifica over the layoff last November of two KPFA staff members: Brian Edwards-Tiekert and Aimee Allison, the former co-hosts of KPFA's Morning Show.
May 22, 2011
Over the past 10 years, any KPFA manager who attempted anything that did not meet the approval of a small core group of staff members – the foxes in the henhouse – met with so much hostility and non-cooperation that the job became nearly impossible to do.

I want us to do good radio. I want people to listen to us because we are doing dynamic programming. I want communities to feel that they can tune into the station and hear someone addressing the issues that are important to them.
March 3, 2011
I am writing to give clarity and to correct the misinformation that you have been hearing for the past three months from some of KPFA's paid staff. John Hamilton has not been "laid off." Brian Edwards Tiekert bumped John to take back his job.
November 11, 2010
Two years ago, Brian Edwards-Tiekert reported to the Pacifica National Board that staff layoffs were imperative at WBAI in NYC and KPFK in LA even though those laid off would push back. Today at KPFA, Brian is the one being laid off and pushing back.

In this manifesto that shows why JR Valrey is rightly called the Minister of Information, he exposes "gentrification journalism" as "the public relations team that is put in place to make gentrifiers feel safe," the media's twisting of the murders of Chauncey Bailey and Oscar Grant to demonize Blacks and the hyper-funding of "hyper-local media" as an effort to drown out community media. Everyone who wants to stop the exodus of Blacks from the Bay must read this.
November 22, 2009
KCBS calls it "Another Viral BART Police Confrontation," referring to the now world famous video of a BART officer shooting passenger Oscar Grant in the back as he lay face down on a BART platform at 2 a.m. New Year's Day. The new video, shot Saturday night, shows another BART officer assaulting a passenger almost as viciously. STORY UPDATED TUESDAY, NOV. 24.
October 23, 2009
Recently, a white KPFA supporter asked me do I really think that KPFA as a station is racist and deserves to be categorized as apartheid radio? The answer was yes, because still in 2009 KPFA does not have a Black show that speaks to the issues of the Black community in the U.S. KPFA does have shows for the white community, like The Morning Show, Democracy Now and Against the Grain, and for other communities, like the Asians with APEX Express, the Latinos with La Onda and La Raza Chronicles, disabled people with Pushing Limits and so on, but Black people living in the United States are supposed to beg other programmers to air what is important to our community.

Today's page from the annals of cutting one's nose off to spite one's face gives us the case of the Twinkies Finkies where union strikers are set to permanently destroy their own jobs by forcing the Hostess snack cake company to go bankrupt because of union demands.
The Hostess company has been under sever pressure due to this destroyed Obama economy and just when it didn't think things could get worse, the unions have decided to go on strike demanding that the company get blood from this dead economic stone.
The company, already trying to reorganize from two bankruptcies, announced that it would be forced to cut wages and benefits of its workers and offered a new contract based on these realities. The unions rejected the offer and promptly went on strike.
Hostess CEO Grey Rayburn told the media that his company simply could not withstand a work stoppage.
"We've been very straight forward that the business can't withstand the significant work stoppage," he said. "If this strike continues, there is certainly a risk that Hostess will go out of business."
Reuters reports that the company will seek liquidation unless workers return to work.
Despite the well-known bankruptcy problems in which Hostess Brands has been mired, some unions have rejected any offer of working with the company to save the business. A few other smaller unions did accept the contract offered by the faltering company, but the biggest union, the Baker's Union, has steadfastly refused any concessions. Most unions are honoring that Baker's strike and refusing to cross picket lines.
So, unless the union bends, it looks like Twinkies, Wonder Bread, and a host of other Hostess products will be a thing of the past while some 18,500 Hostess workers lose their jobs forever.

Geneseo is a selective public honors college in the State University of New York (SUNY) system. Less than half of all applicants will be admitted, and to get in you're going to need strong grades and standardized test scores. In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. The majority of successful applicants had high school averages of "A-" or better, combined SAT scores of 1850 or higher, and ACT composite scores of 27 or better. You'll have a much better chance of getting an acceptance letter with test scores above these lower numbers.
You'll see that there are quite a few red dots (rejected students) and yellow dots (waitlisted students) mixed in with the green and blue in all but the upper right corner of the graph. Quite a few students with grades and test scores that were on target for SUNY Geneseo did not get in. Note, however, that a some students were accepted with test scores and grades a bit below the norm. This is because Geneseo's admissions process is based on more than empirical data. The college accepts the Common Application and has a holistic admissions process. The Geneseo admissions officers will be looking at the rigor of your high school courses, not just your grades. Also, the they will want to see a winning essay, interesting extracurricular activities, an engaging short answer, and strong letters of recommendation.

Well, this doesn't happen every day. On Friday, you can walk into the Mystic Art Center and sit down and listen to a reading by novelist Wally Lamb.
It's the latest presentation this season by the Arts Cafe - Mystic, and it's our equivalent of 19th-century folks settling into a parlor to hear Charles Dickens preview "Bleak House."
Indeed, Lamb - author of the diverse, richly imagined and riveting "She's Come Undone," "The Hour I First Believed" and "I Know This Much Is True," as well as the Christmas novel "Wishin' and Hopin" - is without question one of the shimmering literary stars in the country. A proudly local guy who grew up in Norwich and details his fiction with plenty of provincial color and lore, Lamb is also very personable and witty - in short, an ideal headliner for the estimable Arts Cafe - Mystic series.
His latest novel, due in the fall of 2013, is called "We Are Water," and Lamb will likely treat fans to excerpts. The evening's musical component will be provided by Sylvia Berry, and poet Owen Hughes is the program's Opening Voice.
Wally Lamb, Arts Cafe - Mystic, 7:30 p.m. Friday (doors 7 p.m.), Mystic Arts Center, 9 Water St., Mystic; $8, students 21 and under free; (860) 912-2444, theartscafemystic.org

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — HAVERHILL — Mayor James Fiorentini said merchants and residents will get the changes they want to paid parking spaces downtown.
Fiorentini said he plans to quickly use new power he received this week from the City Council to tweak the parking rules.
He said that as early as this week, he will convert hourly, metered spaces in the parking lot at Essex and Locust streets to multi-use spaces that can be used by people with permits. The lot is across from Maria's restaurant.
"Employees who work in the Wingate Street area have been telling us they really need more permit spaces there," Fiorentini said. "I'm going to make the changes immediately."
At this week's City Council meeting, councilors approved the mayor's request that he be allowed to make temporary changes to the paid parking rules without the council's consent. Under the new rule, the mayor has 45 days to convince the council to sign off on his temporary changes or they revert back. Last month, Fiorentini sought changes requested by businesses and residents, but the council delayed decisions on them.
At the Merrimack Street deck, Fiorentini wants to convert 22 spaces from permit spaces to hourly, metered spots for short-term parkers. He said restaurants in that part of downtown asked for the changes. He said he intends to poll councilors individually this week about that proposal. After that, he might make those changes on his own, he said.
The city is also considering changes to paid spaces on Washington Street. The change would allow "loading-only" spaces reserved for business deliveries to be used be as "free parking" spaces for anyone for up to 15 minutes. This change is designed for customers of nearby restaurants and businesses.
The council also approved a measure that allows the mayor to temporarily suspend or alter the paid parking rules during snow emergencies.
The city began charging drivers to park downtown in August. The paid parking plan has a variety of rules governing on-street parking and the use of spaces in parking garages and lots.
Haverhill adopted the plan to discourage downtown workers, residents and train commuters from using on-street parking, and therefore free up those spaces for businesses customers and other short-term visitors to the area. Officials have told businesses, residents and others to let them know how it's working and that the city will continue to tweak the plan.

From a list penned by Richard Corliss, senior writer for Time magazine, highlighting 2011's best big screen performances, I was absolutely shocked to see these 2 names make the short list of 5 on the women's side: Ameena Matthews and Khomotso Manyaka.
Who are they you asked? We've written about them before, and the films both are in: first 13-year old Khomotso Manyaka (although she was likely 11 years old when the film was actually shot in 2009) who starred in the South African family drama Life, Above All, which I saw earlier this year and praised (MsWOO also saw it and was also impressed by it in her review). The young lady carries the entire film; I don't think there's a single scene in the almost 2 hour movie that she isn't in. So its success depended almost entirely on her performance, and whether you believe her or not. I did. It's a solid performance for a kid, given the weight she's asked to carry here! Several others agree with me apparently, as the film reportedly received a 10-minute standing ovation when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year, and was shortlisted by the Academy Awards committee in the Best Foreign Feature Film category; it also received acclaim at the Toronto Film Festival, Dubai Film Festival, and others. And it won 6 Awards at the South African Film And Television Awards (SAFTA's), including Best Lead Actress in A Feature Film by the 13 year-old star. And what's even more impressive about all this is that, this was her very first film!!
But she's certainly not showing up on any mainstream lists of strong performances... until now anyway. So kudos to Richard Corliss and Time magazine for the recognition. Khomotso deserves it.
Second is Ameena Matthews who was the heartbeat of Steve James' critically-acclaimed documentary The Interrupters, a film we've talked about maybe even more than Life, Above All. Although, I have a problem with Corliss calling Ameena's role in the film a "performance," which suggests she was acting, which wasn't the case. This is a documentary based on real-life subjects and events. Ameena is a real-life screen heroine as the film shows; courageous and inspirational as a violence interrupter with the Chicago organization CeaseFire, which mediates disputes to prevent gang violence from escalating. But I understand; Corliss is highlighting her efforts, which should be applauded, so I won't nitpick, but felt that I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that little detail.
As Corliss notes, the film didn't make the Academy's short list of nominees for Best Documentary, which many felt was snob.
But once again, kudos to Corliss and Time magazine for not going entirely with trends, and being unpredictable with their top 5s.
Granted Meryl Streep and the cast of The Help made the cut too; but Corliss could have certainly gone with some other favorites to fill out the rest of his top 5 list, and instead went with two *unknowns* - black *unknowns* too.
See Time magazine's top 5 performers (male and female) HERE.
Vanessa | January 2, 2012 1:24 PM
Khomotso Manyaka was amazing in the film. She's actually 15 now I believe; which would have made her about 13 around the time the film was shot. I wish her much success..
David | January 2, 2012 1:24 PM
Ameena's was clearly not a "performance," but she was, bar none, the most devastating, charismatic figure on screen this year. What she did -- and what she is doing with CeaseFire -- stretches far beyond filmmaking, doc filmmaking or "compelling subject." She's one of the real rock stars of society.
The Interrupters being a "snub" is an understatement. Like Hoop Dreams before it, this was the *best* film of 2011.
