George Rebane Tonight we recorded the sixth edition of Breaking Bread at the NCTV studios. BB6 may be the last program recorded at the former Grass Valley Group facility since the station is undergoing a transition which involves moving to new quarters for the new year. I hosted the program in which we introduced a new one-on-one format – a conversation between the host and invited guest.The topics that I sought to explore Sheriff Royal's views on were the militarization of the nation's police and sheriffs, the constitutional sheriffs movement, and Nevada County's preparedness for large scale emergencies. The hour went well, we both felt comfortable in the conversational format, and all topics received appropriate coverage.BB6 was hastily arranged and scheduled for tonight. Producers Terri Hicklin and Patty Smith wanted to get in one last edition of BB before NCTV had to start disassembling its studio this Friday. After some thought, I volunteered to do the program due to the apparent unavailability of any of the other hosts. The program airings will be announced on the NCTV website, and it will be archived there for later viewing on demand. The working title of BB6 is 'A Conversation With Nevada County Sheriff Keith Royal'. I will post the link when it's available.Many thanks to the crew of all volunteers who showed up on a rainy evening to at least provide a professional effort behind the cameras. These folks make community television possible.

George RebaneThe Nevada County Republican Women Federated should feel justifiably proud for putting on one of the best organized and attended public speaking events in recent memory. More than 600 people showed up last night in the Grass Valley Veterans Hall to hear Sheriff Richard Mack deliver a rousing defense of local governance against the established overreach of the federal leviathan.
Former county supervisor Ms Fran Freedle (pictured lower right) chaired the small committee of women who worked months to plan, organize, and bring about this occasion that was attended by a broad spectrum of political interests and perspectives from Nevada County and environs. My Jo Ann was a long and hard working member of that committee, so I was privy to the bumps and progress as the sheriff's visit drew nigh.(I was also one of the husbands conscripted to assist, serving as the projector guy and Nevada County chauffer for Sheriff Mack. Friends Russ Steele and Norm Sauer handled the lights, and friends Jim and Mary Booth next door contributed their guest house for the sheriff to decompress and freshen up before the night's reception and talk. Earlier in the day Sheriff Mack attended a luncheon at the National Hotel with Sheriff Keith Royal and other local law enforcement officers. Needless to say, I also had ample opportunity to talk privately with Sheriff Mack.)
As corroborated by other attendees, Sheriff Mack is not the most polished of public speakers, but that makes his heartfelt monologue come across more genuine and peer-to-peer to his audiences. He dwelled on his successful case against the 'Brady Bill' that reached SCOTUS from which it received a favorable landmark ruling that further corroborated the Founders' intents as to the rights and powers of the several states when confronting the federal government.

George RebaneThis morning Jo Ann and I drove to Folsom to attend Igor Birman's announcement of his candidacy for Congress from California's 7th congressional district. We were not the only Nevada County residents to make the trek. Even though we can't vote for him, many of us who live up here see Igor's candidacy as adding to the conservative cohort from our state that can help bring our country back on course. (Igor's website)
Igor Birman has been Congressman Tom McClintock's chief of staff, and is one of the youngest to hold such an important job in Washington. Igor was born in the USSR and got out when his parents took advantage of the window that President Reagan created with the agreement to let Russian Jews emigrate from a land in which they have been third class citizens for generations. While I have a definite affinity with Igor's odyssey – my parents also escaped communism when I was a youngster (cf My Story) – we support Igor's candidacy because he is very smart, has high moral standards, and recognizes way better than most the tragedy that socialism cum collectivism brings into human lives.Some years back Tom McClintock introduced us to Igor, and since then he has become our friend, often spending meal times at our house during which we have delved into some very interesting topics of state and national interest. Igor's job in Washington has always brought perspectives to bear on the topic that are accessible only to one who knows and operates in the belly of the beast. Igor's understanding of the nation's problems, especially in public education and its contribution to systemic unemployment in a shrinking workforce, is thorough and deep. His overall ideology and politics also make him a desirable candidate for the tea party faction of the Republican party.Congressman McClintock delivered an eloquently bittersweet introduction to Igor, acknowledging the loss of an extremely valuable aide while celebrating his promising and needed candidacy for Congress. I am heartened by the potential of adding Igor Birman to the team of conservative northern Californians comprised of Doug LaMalfa, Tom McClintock, and Dan Logue (who is running for the 3rd congressional district seat) – the four horsemen of socialism's apocalypse.

George Rebane[This is the transcript of my 16aug13 KVMR radio commentary, plus a couple of snapshots.]Last Tuesday I attended the opening of the Nevada County Library's Collaborative Technology Center or CTC. The ribbon to the new 2,000 square foot facility was cut by country librarian Jessica Hudson after a few attending dignitaries had a chance to speak. The CTC is designed to support up to 70 people who will operate computers, laptops, tablets, printers, and even a 3D printer while learning everything from becoming computer literate to actually manufacturing a physical object described in a computer file.
The affair at the Madelyn Helling main branch was well attended by a large crowd of locals wanting to see what all the fuss was about. Among the notables were Supervisors Nate Beason, Hank Weston, Ed Scofield, and County CEO Rick Haffey. Supervisors Weston and Beason contributed to the opening remarks. Major credit for developing this technology learning center goes to Ms Jessica Hudson and director of the county's information technology services, Mr Steve Monaghan. With the supes blessings it was they who corralled all the cats and herded them in the right direction to get the job done. (Left photo - R to L SteveM, JessicaH, NateB, HankW)

George RebaneBreaking Bread Edition #4 on Climate Change will be recorded this Monday at the NCTV studios. The issues discussion program will be hosted by Eric Tombs and I will be one of Eric's guests. Climate change is, of course, today's more acceptable term for global warming, specifically man-made or anthropogenic GW, specifically correctable AGW, and specifically 'We just gotta do SOMETHING!!!' AGW. We had a pre-taping session the other day during which the strong argument of the true believers was again presented – consensus science. When it was pointed out that 1) there is no consensus science on AGW, and 2) consensus science should send up red flags and wailing sirens whenever it is cited, things got a little heated.What really nudged me to post on this was Matt Ridley's Mind and Matter column in the 6jul13 WSJ titled 'Science is about Evidence NOT Consensus'. (Sadly, this is Dr Ridley's last regular column for the WSJ. The distinguished author and member of the House of Lords is returning to his many other pursuits. I shall miss him.) Ridley uses climate change as his example to teach how scientific propositions should be evaluated. RR readers are well aware of his arguments which have made not a dent in some commenters beliefs on the matter.Well, at our BB4 meeting it became clear that 'Consensus Über Alles' will be the one and only redoubt from which the adherents of climate change will sally forth. The format of BB properly prohibits participants launching ad homonyms against their opposite numbers. It is a forum where ideas are explained, and where ideas may then contend on their own merits. However, today this topic is so asymmetrically supported by reason that it was suggested there should be no attempt to discredit consensus science if that is all one could muster to support energetic public policies to combat AGW. The short of it was that opinions based on warm fuzzies should weigh equally with those more formidably armed - after all, are we not all equal? But not to worry dear reader, the proposal did not carry.Matt Ridley's swansong admonitions are worthy recounting as we prepare for the 2,047,619th 'discussion' on climate change.…the "consensus" about climate change only extends to the propositions that it has been happening and is partly man-made, both of which I readily agree with. Forecasts show huge uncertainty.…science does not respect consensus. There was once widespread agreement about phlogiston (a nonexistent element said to be a crucial part of combustion), eugenics, the impossibility of continental drift, the idea that genes were made of protein (not DNA) and stomach ulcers were caused by stress, and so forth—all of which proved false. Science, Richard Feynman once said, is "the belief in the ignorance of experts."So, yes, it is the evidence that persuades me whether a theory is right or wrong, and no, I could not care less what the "consensus" says.The article is too short, but well worth the read.[11jul13 update] We taped BB4 last Monday (8jul13) evening at NCTV, and apparently it has already been aired, and will be again. For the next showings please visit NCTV here. It will soon be available for online viewing on the Breaking Bread website.

George RebaneSo much bad stuff is happening that it's literally hopeless to keep track of it any more. A few samples follow.Asylum for climate change refugees. A correspondent sends me this heads up on the latest from the idiot senator from Hawaii. He writes, "Sen. Brian Schatz's bill would create a sort of political asylum for global warming refugees. Senator Brian Schatz's (D-HI) filed an amendment for the immigration bill Wednesday that would allow stateless people in the U.S. to seek conditional lawful status if their nations have been made uninhabitable by climate change. Who decides what is uninhabitable? Does that mean all countries without air conditioned buildings?" You can't make this stuff up.Speaking of the immigration bill, it looks like the Republican heartthrob Senator Marco Rubio has caved. No more requirement for a secure border. The new bill would keep it porous and plug the holes with 'best efforts' rhetoric directed at the isheeple (q.v.). Things will really look bad when the Border Patrol agents strap on their buttons that read 'Pardon me, but you have me confused with someone who gives a crap.'
The Dow has dropped about 550 points in the last three days. Helicopter Ben has now told everyone in the world that his chopper will soon be running out of gas thereby quenching QE whatever its number is. Is this a Black Swan event? Hard to believe that it is since everyone has been anticipating it for at least six months. As predicted here, everyone thought that they could get out whole when the time came, because they would know it ahead of time. Well, had they known, then the markets would not have plunged as they have, and it ain't over yet."Signs of ObamaCare's failings mount daily, including soaring insurance costs, looming provider shortages and inadequate insurance exchanges. Yet the law's most disturbing feature may be the Independent Payment Advisory Board. The IPAB, sometimes called a "death panel," threatens both the Medicare program and the Constitution's separation of powers. At a time when many Americans have been unsettled by abuses at the Internal Revenue Service and Justice Department, the introduction of a powerful and largely unaccountable board into health care merits special scrutiny." So say DAVID B. RIVKIN JR. and ELIZABETH P. FOLEY in the 20jun13 WSJ of these un-fireable appointed bureaucrats. And the bad news on that law will get a lot worse before serious attempts to repeal it are mounted. Attributed deaths will have to number in the thousands before progressives will take notice (if then).But there is an outside chance that this monster may collapse on itself from the gross incompetence at HHS according to the auditing arm of the GAO. It seems that the HHS dunces in residence have not done their homework, and are having one hell of a time setting up the infamous insurance 'exchanges'. In fact, no one really knows what all is supposed to happen in these new bueraucracies that will dot the national landscape – that is one of the many reasons why HHS is running Obamacare as a black ops mission that is as opaque as it can possibly be – and the band starts playing in October. Nationwide support for Obamacare is now down to about one out of three Americans, true believers all (more here).
To feel better, just go to the lamestream and/or any of the leftwing blogs where you will be burdened with none of this.
[21jun13 update] The kids will get to ride elephants at the Nevada County Fair. The fair board listened politely to the protestations of local 'animal activists', and then refused to cancel the contract with Have Trunk Will Travel. To me people from organizations like Center for Animal Protection and Education comprise the faction of soft-headed, politically correct busybodies that have done so much to take our nation into the cultural oblivion and proscribed property rights mess in which we now wallow. It's good to celebrate a rare sparkle of sanity here and there in the public forum.The WSJ's enthusiastic editorial policy on immigration reform continues to miss the mark. They celebrate the CBO's analysis that the present bill would slightly lower our deficits by supplying new workers to boost GDP. This is supposed to represent CBO's new approach to 'dynamic scoring' instead of the 'static' type that they usually do in which every law is evaluated as if it will act in a hermetically sealed container from which collateral effects are removed. Well, the CBO's analysis and the WSJ's assessment ('Mi Casa Su Growth Casa') of it both overlook the overriding effect of technology induced systemic unemployment (much discussed in these pages). Neither organization recognizes that the existing legal American workforce continues to have trouble selling their outdated and rapidly diminishing skillsets into job markets that today demand so much more.
I expect this from the gang that can never shoot straight at the CBO, but the WSJ error continues to surprise me. The new beneficiaries of amnesty that this immigration bill would create will be able to add significantly to the lines at the various welfare windows that the feds and state governments operate. And we haven't even begun to consider that the illegal alien problem will continue under the new perpetually porous borders provisions of this so-called immigration reform.

UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (17-2-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC) will walk into the cage next week at UFC on FOX 8 to defend his belt against challenger John Moraga (13-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), and already he knows one outcome of the fight in advance.
Win or lose, Johnson will wind down from the rigors of fight camp by spending time with his wife and, perhaps, a new son. He'll get back in the gym and start training, like he always does. And he'll wait for the next fight, whether it be a title or non-title fight, name opponent or otherwise.
Keep the belt or not, he's resolved to both possibilities.
"So far, it's kept me to a point where if I lose the belt, I don't go into deep depression," Johnson told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "You have fighters that say, 'There's no way I'm going to lose this fight.' Then when they do lose, 'Oh my god, I lost.'
"I don't need to do that. I know the reality of this sport, and absolutely, I go out there and finish him. That's possible, and it's also possible I could lose this fight. But I trained my butt off and I did everything in my power to come out with the victory. But I know the reality of things."
UFC on FOX 8 takes place July 28 at KeyArena in Seattle. The event's main card airs live on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook.
In a sport full of unrestrained optimists, Johnson very much believes in keeping a level head. He's worked day jobs for most of his career in MMA and thinks a job at Costco is in his future when he hangs up his gloves. Working a day gig is something he's not yet willing to imagine his life without, and perhaps because he's king of the UFC's smallest division, perhaps he shouldn't.
In the octagon, his mindset of pushing hard and releasing himself from the weight of outcomes has helped him to thrive in a weight class where the action moves in the blink of an eye. He's beaten three of the flyweight division's best, Ian McCall, Joseph Benavidez and John Dodson, and won four out of six under the Zuffa banner as a bantamweight.
At UFC on FOX 8, he's a 4-to-1 favorite to retain his belt against Morgaga, who rides a seven-fight win streak and has never been stopped in the cage.
But it didn't take Johnson watching the fighter he considers to be the greatest of all time, Anderson Silva, get knocked out by Chris Weidman to enforce the belief that his gold could be taken away in a split second.
"I've always felt like that," Johnson said. "This is a sport where you have a small opportunity to take advantage of everything you can. If you lose the title, or you lose a fight, the belt has nothing to do with it. You lose a fight, next thing you know, things can turn for the worse."
The fleet-footed Johnson has been accused of fighting to score points rather than finish, and has yet to finish an opponent in the UFC. Even Moraga has called him "boring" and accused him of avoiding a fight. But like those sudden momentum shifts inside the cage, he believes he could change minds with a finish or two. He'd be the first to stop Moraga, who's lost but once by decision to Dodson.
Johnson is also open to a variety of possibilities when it comes to who he fights next. You won't see him complaining about Moraga's level of exposure or worthiness as a title contender, nor will he crow about whether he's fighting on pay-per-view or free TV, where he's quickly becoming a staple.
If he's asked to return to bantamweight to fight Dominick Cruz, he won't raise an objection. Part of the job, he said, is to be flexible.
"I don't get to pick or choose my opponents, or 'I'm not fighting him, nobody knows who he is; people in your company don't even know who this guy is,'" Johnson said. "I was at that point in my career where nobody knew who I was, (and) I just did my best to fight, and (UFC matchmaker) Sean Shelby threw me on the main cards to fight some big names, and it just so happened to work out for me."
The point for Johnson is not that he be in charge of the intangibles of his career, but rather all the things he's able to control, which is how he fights. Right now, he's going to see where that takes him. The only thing he's expecting after next Saturday is a brief pause from his lively footwork.

Sap lady from Ontario Canada
This pot was purchased to replace a cheaper aluminum turkey deep fryer pot that got burned. We use it to boil down sap for maple syrup and it is perfect for the job. The accessories included we saved in case we want to try to deep fry a turkey. The thermometer is not detailed enought for syrup making, We need precise number readings to know when it is ready. (219F) The dashes on the dial are to small and only show when it is close.

My great-grandfater was Alfonso Palcic. His cousins were Louis and Ernest. He moved from Zagreb to Dublin around 1910. He was married to Emma Beyer and had 12 children, one of whom was my grandfather George Palcic.
I'll do my direct relationship with Alfonso first and then I'll tell you about the rest of the family. Bear with me. George, my grandfather, married Máire Pitchford and had four children - my dad Michael, my two uncles Ray and David and my aunt Colette. My dad Michael had me (obviously) and my sister (Liz). We live in Dublin. My uncle Dave lives in Galway, Ireland and has four children. My uncle Ray lives in england and has three children and my aunt Colette also lives in england and has two children. That's that out of the way.
Ok, my granddad George (now deceased - died approx 9-10 years ago) had 11 brothers and sisters. We don't have that much contact with some and a fair few are deceased. Here are their names:

I have my first actual video on youtube. Please bear with me as far as the quality is concerned. I am using my digital camera, and the lighting wasn't the best.
The purpose of this video is to provide an easy reference tool for the beginner to use when practicing basic weapons presentation and reloads.
The equipment used was my Springfield armory XD9, and the speed holster and mag holder setup that came with the pistol. The second video has my Mosin Nagant M91/30.
Please remember that, as always, safety is paramount before any practice with a firearm begins. ALWAYS ensure the weapon is clear, and double-check the weapon before the training begins.
I hope this video help some of you on this forum.

I saw it,great video, keep 'em coming...
great vid, do you have any tips on what to do if your jammed during a fire fight? Besides hand throwing the bullets.
As far as a malfunction with your sidearm goes, remember three words:
Tap the magazine (hard)
Rack the slide (vigorously)
Pull the trigger to make it go bang.
Hey, it's great that you are doing this. I really appreciate the lack of obnoxious music that most youtube uploads tend to use. It's short, sweet, and to the point.
If I may offer a word of friendly advice as somebody without formal combat training, you may want to show each presentation from a couple of different angles.

A PT blogger recently seemed quite impressed with a CBS poll showing that 90% of currently married Americans said that they would marry their spouse again. He called those results "remarkable." He titled his post, "And they lived happily ever after." PT featured this question from him at the top of the blogger page: "Would you remarry your spouse?"
So what's wrong with that?
If the answer is not immediately obvious, consider this thought experiment. You are a parent, and your child Stephen comes home with the results of the test he took in school that day, joyfully boasting that he got a grade of 90. You look down at his marked-up exam and find that in fact, his grade was 54. Huh?
Turns out, Stephen simply set aside the first 40% of the questions he got wrong. (Let's say 40 questions out of a 100-item test.) Of the 60 questions that were left, he got 90% right. So he told his parents he got 90% right. The other 40 questions, he explained, weren't a good match with what he had studied, so it is clear that they should not have been included. So, as far as he was concerned, even though he only got 54 of the 100 questions right, his test score should be 90. Remarkable, indeed.

The designers have had their jewellery featured in all four series of the popular programme and, as a result, have seen an increase in interest in their workshop in the picturesque village of Glenarm.
Jeweller Brona Spencer told UTV: "We've had people phoning to enquire about what was made and whether or not pieces can be replicated. We get a lot of tourists in to see where it was made."
She added: "There are the fanatics out there. They do get really into it and they want to know exactly what we've made.
"They do want them replicated, but obviously with HBO there are design and copyright issues, so we won't replicate something exactly as we made it for Game of Thrones."
Dan Spencer added: "It's something a bit different to making platinum engagement rings.
"It's quite pleasing and satisfying to think that you actually made that, considering how popular (the series) has become."
The workshop has created a huge number of pieces for the Game of Thrones production, including the crown worn by the young tyrant King Joffrey.
"There's quite a lot of work really, especially with a crown," said Dan. "We only made one of each crown because they are so time consuming and quite costly to make.
"We tend to use a combination of the traditional techniques and some of the more modern techniques."

Bank (card game)
|This article needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia. (September 2014)
|Alternative name(s)
|Polish Bank, Russian Bank
|52 cards
|Random chance
Bank, also known also as "Polish Bank" or "Russian Bank," is the name of a comparing card game. The game requires an ordinary Anglo-American card pack and five or six players.[1]
At the start of the game, each player contributes an arranged stake to the pool. The dealer gives three cards to each player and turns up another; if this is not lower than an eight (ace is lowest), the dealer continues turning up cards until such a card is exposed. The player on the dealer's left, without touching or looking at the three cards received, can bet the amount of the pool, or any part of it, that among those cards is one that is higher (of the same suit) than the turn-up. If the player wins, the player takes the amount from the pool; if the player loses, the player pays that amount to the pool. Each player does the same in turn, the dealer last. Whenever the pool is exhausted, a fresh stake is put into the pool. After a round is over the deal passes. No player may touch any cards received until making a bet; the penalty is a fine to the pool of twice the stake, and the loss of the right to bet during that round.[1]

Israeli military attacks today include the bombing of Gaza's sole power plant and the heavy shelling of Khan Younis, killing six people and leaving at least 20 wounded. The Palestinian death toll is near 650, including more than 160 children. Some 4,000 have been wounded.

On Tuesday, members of Jewish Voice for Peace and Jews Say No! occupied the New York City office of the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, a nonprofit group that raises money in the United States to send to the Israeli military. For about an hour, activists read the names of the more than 600 Palestinians...July 23, 2014 | Story

MSNBC's Sole Palestinian Voice Rula Jebreal Takes on Pro-Israeli Gov't Bias at Network & in US MediaA week after public outrage helped force NBC's reversal of a decision to pull veteran reporter Ayman Mohyeldin out of Gaza, the sole Palestinian contributor to sister network MSNBC has publicly criticized its coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict. "We are disgustingly biased when it comes to this issue," Rula Jebreal said Monday on MSNBC's Ronan Farrow Daily, citing a disproportionate amount of Palestinian voices and...July 23, 2014 | Story
- The Israeli assault on Gaza has entered its third week as the Palestinian death toll has topped 600, mostly civilians. More than 100 of the dead are children. More than 3,700 Palestinians have been injured. Israel says it has lost 27 soldiers since the ground invasion began. Earlier today, Israel confirmed the remains of one of its soldiers presumed to have been killed in Gaza had still not been found or identified. This comes two days after...July 22, 2014 | Story
What Does Hamas Really Want? Israeli Journalist Gideon Levy on Ending the Crippling Blockade of GazaAs the Israeli assault on Gaza enters its third week, a new push is underway for an internationally brokered ceasefire. Speaking earlier today, Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said there is "no real hope" of an immediate halt to the fighting because Hamas' conditions are too far from those of Israel, the United States and Egypt. Hamas' demands have centered on an end to the Israeli blockade of Gaza and the release of...July 22, 2014 | Story
How the West Chose War in Gaza: Crisis Tied to Israeli-U.S. Effort to Isolate Hamas & Keep the SiegeWhile many trace the Israeli assault on Gaza to the series of events that began with the kidnapping and subsequent murder of three teenage Israelis in the occupied West Bank, we look at how the crisis' immediate cause has been all but ignored. In a recent article for The New York Times, "How the West Chose War in Gaza," Nathan Thrall, senior analyst at International Crisis Group, argues the roots of the current violence lie in...July 22, 2014 | Story
- Joining us from Tel Aviv, Israeli journalist Gideon Levy argues that Middle East peace will never come until the Israeli government drops its rejection of basic Palestinian rights.

Over a glass of wine at a busy restaurant on the west side of Los Angeles, British comic and actor Eddie Izzard shares his long-standing desire to be bald — not permanently, mind you, but just for a role.
"I've been trying to shave my head in some role for eight years," he says. "I just thought it'd be an interesting take. ... To keep a comedic thing going and a dramatic thing, it's a tricky thing to do. If you can break a look, if you can make it so one is over there and one is, 'Oh, God, you look so different,' that really helps."
Izzard is at a cinema for a screening of the first half of his latest project, a new, four-hour version of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic "Treasure Island," airing 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday on Syfy. Steve Barron ("Merlin," "Arabian Nights") directs from a screenplay by Stewart Harcourt ("Hearts and Bones," "Marple").
Izzard plays Long John Silver (complete with tattooed bald head and missing leg), with Elijah Wood as Ben Gunn, Donald Sutherland as Captain Flint, Philip Glenister as Captain Smollett, Daniel Mays as Dr. Livesey and Rupert Penry-Jones as Squire Trelawney.
As to whether if he's trying to rescue the image of pirates from "Pirates of the Caribbean," Izzard says, "I said, 'I'll only do it if it's edgy, if it tracks all the way down to real lives and real people.' What would you do in the 1700s with that kind of money? How bleak was it?

It was a daily routine: When I was younger, I would get the newspaper in the morning and turn right to the sports box scores to see how my favorite teams performed the previous night. That was the case for the professional sports that I followed, but also for my local high school teams. I couldn't wait to peruse the sports pages for that basic information. The way that we get that information is changing, but people certainly have a similar interest in getting their local high school sports scores as soon as they can.
The state of Minnesota wants 3M Company to pay for what it claims was environmental damage caused by decades of chemical pollution in Cottage Grove, Woodbury, other areas of Washington County and elsewhere. In a state lawsuit, Attorney General Lori Swanson said the company disposed of perfluorochemical, or PFC, waste and wastewater for over 50 years and it contaminated Minnesota ground water and surface water, harming natural resources and fish.
Cottage Grove resident Leon Moe is critical of federal health care expansion and on Wednesday was given a big platform to express that view. Gov.
Cottage Grove police have identified a woman found dead at a local residence Wednesday. Police said they found the body of 52-year-old Wendy LaFrance of Cottage Grove in a home after they were twice dispatched to the residence. A 52-year-old man who was at the home was transported by ambulance to an area hospital. Police declined to provide details of LaFrance's death, citing ongoing work by a medical examiner. They opened a death investigation Wednesday afternoon. "Nothing appears suspicious at this time," Cottage Grove police Capt.
Cottage Grove police on Wednesday were conducting a death investigation after a woman was found dead at a local home and a man was transported by ambulance from the residence. The woman was found dead inside the home Wednesday afternoon after two emergency calls to the address in the 7600 block of Hinton Avenue. The home is in the Hinton Heights development. Police first were sent to the home at 12:26 p.m. to check the welfare of a 52-year-old man. The man's employer had called police after he did not show up for work, said Cottage Grove police Capt. Greg Rinzel.
Washington County's traffic crash stats remained static last year, reflecting a statewide trend. Eleven people were killed in crashes in Washington County in 2010, according to preliminary data released this week by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Statewide, there were at least 410 people killed on Minnesota roads last year. The statistics will increase after all 2010 crash reports are submitted.
Paul Augustine, a co-founder of the Afton Alps ski area, died Saturday. He was 79. Augustine had been living at the Afton Care Center for about eight years. He suffered from Parkinson's disease and dementia, said Joe Yasis, Afton Alps manager. Augustine founded Afton Alps Recreation Area in 1963 with his brother, Bob, and Tom Furlong. He was the principal owner and developer of Afton Alps, Mount Kato and Titus Mountain ski areas. Augustine was born and raised in the town of Hastings.
Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson on Thursday sued 3M Company over past chemical contamination of ground water in the eastern Twin Cities. Swanson's office wants the company to pay for environmental damage caused by decades of pollution in the Washington County area.

Diane Johnson's creativity and interest in sweepstakes proved a winning combination. A neat old photograph helped, too.

Two men apprehended in Cottage Grove last week face charges in connection with an axe assault and robbery. Cottage Grove police on Dec. 21 located two men in a truck that had been reported stolen following a home invasion in Inver Grove Heights. According to a Dakota County criminal complaint filed Monday, the men -- Jacob R. Anhalt, 22, and Randy A. Knight, 31, both of Inver Grove Heights -- allegedly were among three men who made their way into a home and stole tools, valuables and a truck. A man who was at home during the robbery said he was assaulted with a battle axe during the Dec.

August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Equipment and On Road Behaviour, Laws and Rules. Cycling Promotion and Advocacy
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
i think a key point of differentiation that is being alluded to here is laws which have a positive duty for a person to not be negligent, and others for which negligence (in whichever form) is prohibited.
the difference is that in the latter case, a breach of the law has only occurred where negligence can be established. this seems to make courts reticent about convicting on that basis, where there are doubts about the negligence. in the case of the bus driver mentioned earlier, there are road safety laws (not rules, which by convention address more minor offences) addressing negligence. yet my observation of their enforcement is that they tend to be used for discrete decisions - crashing while impaired, drag racing, crashing while talking on phone, etc. if you hit a cyclist, while for most of us this creates instant suspicion that driver negligence was involved, the courts seem reluctant to support that interpretation (i.e. let the driver off with a minor penalty only, e.g. infringement offence).
on the other hand, where there is a positive duty, an offence may be committed even without evidence of any negligent action having taken place. this is how workplace health and safety laws function - a person must demonstrate that they have taken steps to prevent an undesirable outcome (death, injury). they can in theory be charged even without any death or injury having (yet) taken place - e.g. simply by failing to install a machine guard.
to me, the notion of a positive duty on motorists in road traffic law has similar attraction to a vulnerable user law - it (helps) remove the option of the SMIDSY defence for motorists. under those scenarios, a motorist has potentially committed an offence by simply getting behind the wheel without having taken proper precautions to avoid SMIDSY. while in practice no one is going to be charged while leaving their driveway in a distracted state, it would make their defence more difficult after hitting someone.

as a detail, a lot of newer buses are decked out with cameras mounted that give visuals of the front half exterior ( I recall one incident where they were used to incriminate a driver who swiped a parked car yet denied it ..... until the film was played of him hitting the car and swearing in exclamation of course ...
GO!! Run!!! GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
As I understand it, you are talking about fault elements, or the lack thereof. Negligence plus the criminal road offences all have a fault element. Society puts motorists on a pedestal with the result that courts - judge or jury - are more reluctant than they should be to find them at fault. So get rid of fault elements! the argument goes. Well, I agree. The issue with doing it to the law of negligence is this: if you want the law to have a normative effect it will have to be through its effect on insurance premiums. Do it to criminal laws and you can impose penalties that necessarily affect the individual - like gaol - and are more likely to have an effect.
Seatbelts and DUI are the classic examples of such laws that supposedly worked. I would point out, though, that they didn't just amend the legislation and move on. The pushed the point, hard and long. I'd like to see this happen with vulnerable road user laws. I dunno if I should expect it any time soon.
This is edging dangerously close to a term that is so overloaded, misleading and inflammatory that I suggest the mods should treat it like a cussword and automatically mangle it to some bizarre euphemism. You know the one I mean.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Why do you say that this is the only option ? With NSW's OH&S Act 2000, officers of the company (at any level) became open to prosecution if there were breaches of the OH&S laws and personally liable - e.g. responsible for fines that might be imposed. It does not appear that insurance can cover this - in some cases in my company, decisions to leave have been deferred until outstanding OH&S cases were resolved, so it seems the officers could not be insured or protected from the financial impacts if they left the company.
This single fact of personal liability made a huge impression on officers in my company - and changed behavior's overnight. The effect has been lasting, even though there have been no prosecutions of officers (to date). If it can do that, then maybe its immaterial whether you're having a normative effect.
Change in the OH&S liability laws shifted the culture in many organisations in this state, and it's pretty fair to think that
changes in the motoring/cyclists liability laws could achieve a dramatic shift in the culture we cycle in as well.
Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us -Jerry Garcia
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
I was specifically talking about the law of negligence. OH&S legislation is a whole nother thing, as is criminal law (which is where I personally think the change should be made).
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Its not a particularly high standard of proof in negligent compensation cases - as that is a civil matter. ie its a fairly low bar and there is also contributory negligence (ie courts do understand the concept that both parties in a collision can have elements of fault). However its all meaningless as a deterrent because the insurance company will wear it, not the driver, and thus by extension, good drivers will wear it for bad drivers.
IMO the decision about the bus driver is typical of a civil case - on the balance of probabilities the judge decided the highest probability was the driver wasn't negligent. It is after all a curved road and at the last seconds of moving off, he needs to be keeping a fairly solid eye on the righthand mirror, because traffic is likely to appear there late.
The actual mistake (which I've said before on these forums), is that CTP indemnifies the driver, which means that the -only- deterrent for being a dangerous halfwit is the driving rules and criminal enforcement, and the criminal system is entirely black and white and has a very high bar for a conviction as it should.
IMO the compensation scheme should be changed around so that it does NOT indemnify the driver, it is just there to protect the victims, and therefore the operators of the scheme should be free to recover court awarded costs (with some sort of cap) from at fault drivers. That would have 2 effects - (a) to make drivers more uncomfortable about risking accidents with vulnerable road users and (b) it would reduce premiums for drivers that never have accidents, because more of the costs are worn by at fault drivers.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
I completely agree. I haven't seen that suggested before in that exact manner but it makes alot of sense.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
I think this is definitely the winner - in NSW, CTP greenslips are NOT insurance. It is a tax administered by a competitive environment on car owners. It is the closest thing we have to "car damage to people compensation". You get charged for ambulance callouts of any kind in NSW... unless you're a pensioner, or you are in a car accident. CTP insurance wears the bill automatically I was shocked to hear that for the ambo billing team.
This driver indemnity issue would not work in voluntary insurance regimes like fire/theft/3rd party property or comprehensive, because it is no longer insurance... unless you just made it illegal to claim in an at fault collision. THAT would put a lot of cameras in cars. A camera in each direction really isn't unrealistic for a car. It's not even expensive now (considering many people spend 20K+ on the car!)
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Pretty much a retrograde step (certainly in Victoria). It is simply the law of torts that you are suggesting. And in this scenario the wealthy and powerful get the free pass, while those who lack resources (or don't belong to the 'old boys club') get bankrupted and pushed into living in cardboard boxes.
Yeah that's great for our community
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Except that insurance companies would helpfully fill the gap, probably by adding it to third-party property and comprehensive policies. This would dilute both the deterrent effect and the effect on premiums. Then some people who pay non-compulsory insurance will kick up a fuss about paying twice (which is a specious argument, but that won't stop them making it). It would probably help a bit, but it illustrates a problem with trying to push this sort of stuff via civil laws: insurers like to make money diluting any deterrent effects these laws might have.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Eh? You go to court and your insurer only indemnifies you if you win? Words fail me.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
People seem to be mixing up the personal and property claims here - two very different worlds of compensation, certainly here in Victoria. Personal injury compensation is all covered under TAC (Transport Accident Commission) - no-fault, no court case, the claim is made with TAC and your medical and rehab needs are covered. Property cases are dealt with through your private car insurance. Some have none , some go for third party, fire & theft cover, while others have full comprehensive insurance. Often there is no court case in property cases either as the insurers just get the claim sorted out of court - a much better way to keep the costs low.
In my opinion the only problem with the TAC no-fault system is the lack of any follow-up for drivers who are the cause of an injury. In your property insurance if you are at fault your insurer still covers you, but in future you face elevated premiums. Do it too often and you may face great difficulty even getting insurance. This can really bite, especially for younger drivers who are often more likely to lack responsibility and take greater risks.
But there is no ramping up of the TAC charge (as far as I know) for drivers who have caused injuries. Bringing this small change in would hit drivers' hip-pocket nerve and promote a greater sense of accountability.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
The blue bit annoys me no end. I know how hard it is to actually get the promised $x per week out of some of these irresponsible clowns? IMO a third party property (minimum) policy should need to be shown as part of rego renewal.
I'd have no problem with bumping the TAC component for drivers causing injury, add some incentive to take more care.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.
London Boy 29/12/2011
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
I completely agree.
I used to only have third-party but after facing problems getting money out of a taxi insurance company when my car was written off I decided it would be easier to let somebody else fight my battles so I got comprehensive. Luckily my car is cheap so comprehensive only costs me $350pa.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
There is some wisdom, i would support a no blame, needs based insurance system, would be a worthwhile step forward for our society.
Keep flexing, spinning, rolling, coasting, pushing, pulling, drafting, sprinting, time trialling, touring, climbing, descending, hot dogging, crit-ing, racing, weaving, dodging, dropping, tanking, chasing... but most of all - just keep f'ing riding!
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
+ 1
the system prioritises people's "right to drive" over accountability towards other road users. simple as that
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Really, what you are saying is that innocent victims should get the same (lower)* payout as the negligent to remove 'injustices'. *(the inevitable effect in no fault systems - along with increased fraud/premiums)
We already have ma$$ive medicare, social security and other support services which are needs based. Maybe that money could be better targeted.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
The scheme working or not working comes down to governance more so than the social policy of the scheme.
ie the TAC payouts are similar, its just the premiums that are more expensive. It would appear that 30% more premiums reflect literally 30% more people (mostly at fault drivers), covered by the scheme, and not any particular increase in rorts and litigation.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Read the fine print - the scheme is based on need. Why should someone get greater medical care support (ie. ability to live) simply because they were deemed not at fault in an often complex collision situation. If the innocent victim needs more support, they should get it, but there should be no free lunches.
BTW it is not really a 'payout'. No injured person gets cash payments AFAIK, they simply get their medical and rehabilitation bills paid.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
'Why should they get greater medical care' - and a lump sum payout for loss of income, pain and suffering, etc, etc? Because a negligent driver caused their injuries and the negligent driver (or their insurer) should pay for their actions - i.e. 'there should be no free lunches.
For every complex collision situation there are vastly more where fault is a no brainer - e.g. hit from behind, passenger, running red light, speed, drink driving. Also, there are vast numbers of congenital disability cases / general accident that get no common law payout or TAC support either. Why should negligent drivers be in a better position to them'?
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
No system is perfect. Show me a law, I'll show you a law that sometimes produces unjust results. That doesn't make it a bad law, that makes it an imperfect law. Get over it.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
unfortunately there are. their insurer (CTP) is just the tax payer. so the tax payer would fund the consequences of negligent drivers. this is how it used to be, but was stopped as it was being rorted.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Briefly saw an ABC news report this evening where a guy who had a long history of DUI was convicted of killing an elderly lady.
He crashed into her residence in a retirement village... yeah that drunk.
This guy disabled the breath test lock on his car with a pin code and attempted to drive home.
So he got a fine and is not allowed to drive or visit a pub without supervision.... seriously I am not making this up.
None of the ruling made any sense, if the victim was a cyclist on the road I doubt he would of been even fined.
Needless to say the family were outraged and very upset but ultimately powerless.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
Sydguy the problem is that the driver is also a resident of the retirement village & has a mental disability as a result of a car crash 44 years ago. The judge ruled that he was not mentally fit to stand trial.
The judge did what should have been done sometime ago & put in place protective measures so he can't drive.
It is entirely understandable that the family are upset, but in my opinion their anger should be directed at the system that allowed him to continue to own a car, despite his demonstrated inability to comply with the law & not drive drunk.
Re: August 2012 - not so good for cyclists in Supreme Court
The guy, by pleading guilty, limited the sentence that could be applied.
It would seem to be such an obvious and easy case to prosecute successfully that I am guessing that this is one of those cases where, if you plead guilty it winds up in a lesser court than if you dispute the charge. And, as is normal, the lesser court has lesser and less punitive sentencing options.
Although one article I read implies that it was suggested by the police. In wh ich case it could have been that the police are so under resourced that they will take shortcuts even in easy and extreme cases. That would be a worry.
I recall in recent times that one of the state governments (WA? My own?) after such an instance, signaled that they were going to legislate to limit the ability of the defendant being able to use such strategy.
Unfortunately, if and when it happens a great deal of horses will already have bolted.

LAS VEGAS — The death of an Arizona firearms instructor by a 9-year-old girl who was firing a fully automatic Uzi displayed a tragic side of what has become a hot industry in the US: gun tourism.
With gun laws keeping high-powered weapons out of reach for most people — especially those outside the US — indoor shooting ranges with high-powered weapons have become a popular attraction.
Tourists from Japan flock to ranges in Waikiki, Hawaii, and the dozen or so that have cropped up in Las Vegas offer bullet-riddled bachelor parties and literal shotgun weddings, where newly married couples can fire submachine gun rounds and pose with Uzis and ammo belts.
''People just want to experience things they can't experience elsewhere,'' said Genghis Cohen, owner of Machine Guns Vegas. ''There's not an action movie in the past 30 years without a machine gun.''
RELATED: 9-year-old girl accidentally kills gun range instructor
The accidental shooting death of the firing-range instructor in Arizona set off a powerful debate over youngsters and guns, with many people wondering what sort of parents would let a child handle a submachine gun.
