I have to admit that when I saw the headline "The Ugliness Started with Bork" over an op-ed column by Joe Nocera in The New York Times, I reckoned it would be yet another chapter in the long-running left-liberal campaign to demonize the great jurist Robert H. Bork. I was wrong. Today — October 23 — is the 24th anniversary of the Senate's shameful vote against Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court. Nocera wrote, if not to apologize, exactly, then at least to acknowledge that the poisonous campaign to discredit Bork — unprecedented in its nastiness — was "the beginning of the end of civil discourse in politics."
That's probably correct. And while politics by its very nature is a partisan business that elicits strong emotions, and strong rhetoric to match, the campaign against Judge Bork was unparalleled in its ferocity and — something Nocera touches upon but gingerly — patent mendacity. Supreme Court nominees had been voted down before (and since). But had any previous candidate with what Nocera right calls Bork's scholarly "pedigree" and "intellectual fire power" ever been voted down? After all, at the time he was tapped by Reagan, Bork had been a professor of law at Yale, former solicitor general of the United States, and a federal appeals court judge. He was — and is — also a prominent and articulate legal scholar, arguing forcefully for the doctrine of "original intent," i.e., that a judge's primary task is to discern the law in the light of the Constitution.
Democrats, as Nocera acknowledges, recognized that were they to follow the usual Senate procedure in reviewing Bork's nomination, he would almost certainly have been appointed to the Supreme Court. Instead, they knowingly endeavored to besmirch his reputation and record, portraying him not as a serious and thoughtful legal scholar (which he was), but as "a right-wing loony." Nocera recalls an ad that "claimed, absurdly, that Bork wanted to give 'women workers the choice between sterilization and their job.'" But that was just business as usual for the hyenas — including many at The New York Times — who poured through Judge Bork's trash and movie rental receipts in the hope of discovering something embarrassing.

Never forget that had we gotten Judge Bork, we would not have Anthony Kennedy.
Judge Bork was emminently more qualified and most importantly, had a profound respect for constitutional integrity.
Conversely, Anthony Kennedy is supremely more interrested in being "the swing vote" and the center of attention.
Just think of all of the 5-4 decisions that would have gone the other way.
It disgusts me that a majority of those currently seated do not hold the social contract as binding as originally constructed and instead supplant their notions under the guise of " a living and breathing" constitution.
They violate their oaths routinely with no consequence.October 23, 2011 - 2:15 pm Link to this Comment | Reply -

Bork is a mental giant who would have left a lasting mark on the court. A real shame he was "Borked". Bork with Ginsburg, breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan would be like a learned professor (good conservative variety) in the company of pre-schoolers.

Thank you for the reminder Roger. I was in my early 30′s and the Bork nomination fight was my wake up call to the malignancy of the left. That episode made it clear to me that there were no rules for the left, other than the one that says 'we win, no matter what the cost'. And here we are, a quarter century down the road and in the middle of a 'cold' civil war with the OWS lunatics playing with matches on a keg of dynamite, encouraged by no less than the ruling apparatus of the Democrat Party. And it truly is a keg of dynamite because it is foolish in the extreme for any one side to think that they can dispense with civil discourse and completely shut down the other side. To think that the other side will go quietly into the night because of fear of being called names. No, the left will get its comeuppance and will have no one to blame but itself because when you make a science of acting like spoiled, screaming, lying, bratty children, the adults will eventually lose their patience and give you the spanking you've been begging for. And our patience is rapidly coming to an end.

Much of what you say is the unvarnished truth, but it is not the whole truth. Bork is a committed, inveterate statist, one who is not an originalist, only an originalist for the purposes of interpreting the parts of the constitution with which he agrees.
We dodged a bullet when he was rejected.
The 9th, 10th, and 14th amendments are all in the constitution and on an equal basis of having force as any other word in it. They and all the other words in it are the basis of the presumption of liberty which is a guidon for any legitimately, honestly undertaken task of constitutional interpretation.
There is not one inkblot on it, except what the faint-hearted orginalists see.

Have to agree with Blotto on this one, unless Tom Perkins can cite one piece of real evidence to support his claim I will be of the opinion that he is a liar and only interested in furthering the leftist agenda.

I am heartened by the civility and presumption of good faith in the comments found in this haven of conservatives! Some additional thoughts:
Robt. Bork on the State and censorship: http://reason.com/blog/2005/12/05/censors-for-freedom
I recommend checking out Judge Bork's divers specific prescriptions for what ails us.
October 24, 2011 - 9:17 pm Link to this Comment | Reply -
In his 1996 book Slouching Towards Gomorrah Bork writes that…
"The Second Amendment was designed to allow states to defend themselves against a possibly tyrannical national government. Now that the federal government has stealth bombers and nuclear weapons, it is hard to imagine what people would need to keep in the garage to serve that purpose."
Perhaps if Judge Bork had found himself besieged by gangs in post-Katrina New Orleans, he might have gained a healthy appreciation for the utility of SKS rifles and AR-15s in modern life. How much more would he have appreciated such hardware, had he found himself surveying the smoking ruins of an American city flattened by nuclear terror attack, devoid of police and swarming with brigands.
But Judge Bork is one of those men who cannot "imagine" what he has not personally experienced. And so the "brilliant" jurist discarded James Madison's handiwork as casually as he would a soiled Kleenex.
Tom knew exactly what he was talking about and the rest of you have been drinking the koolaid. And Kennedy got Heller and McDonald right.

Bork claimed not to know the meaning of the Ninth Amendment and that therefore it had no meaning. That alone made him unfit to serve. This amendment, if properly understood, is a firewall against claims that the government bestows rights on us rather than that it must prove we are NOT entitled to freedom in countless unnamed areas before it can abridge those freedoms.
The amendment implies we are deserving of freedom unless proven NOT to be, as opposed to our deserving NOT to have freedom unless the government says we should have it. This is the same kind of difference as in a court of law the defendant being presumed innocent rather than presumed guilty. The difference is profound.
Tom Perkins is right.

There are two Leftist ideologies. One, socialism, beleives that Human Nature does not exist, that man has no instincts, and that manipulating man's environment can change basic behaviors. Then there are Libertarians, who believe the Human Nature does not exist, that man has no innate instincts, and that man can live as a solitary animal outside of natural human society. But humans have an innate, inherited Human Nature, which cannot be altered by changing the environment, and man is a social animal, incapable of existing outside of human society, with it's prescriptions, religions, mores, habits, rules of behavior, and mutual duties and reciprocal rights. Ron Paul is every bit as crazy as Lenin or Trotsky.

So now that other people have posted links to the invidious nature of Bork's jurisprudence, I wonder if either Blotto or Chris in California, or Archie or Kimball for that matter, can admit or address the significance and nature of Bork's shortcomings?
Can they say what is true–the manner of Bork's rejection from the court was atrocious, the fact of it was good luck for America and the constitution.

No matter that Bork was not another perfect human being, he was then and is now much more qualified to sit on the court than the left wing lap dogs that make the gang of four.
Those four are not judges but mearly lapdogs of the communist/progressive/liberal/demoRATic party that is trying to destroy this nation.With the current illegal occupant of the whitehouse one more left winger and this country is finished as a free nation.October 25, 2011 - 1:57 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

That was the day when the marxist ruling class first played their trump card, or rather slammed the trump card down on the table with a full-throated roar.
The trump card, of course, is the media, the institution that marxists infiltrated and took over decades before and had owned and controlled since.
Bork was the first time that the Ruling Class openly lied about a major event in this country, abetted by the sure knowledge that their partners, the media, would cover up for them at full throttle.
Spin the dial forward 21 years, and you get Barack Obama.
The fact that a tool at the Slimes now admits the Bork scam might be more significant than we think. What revelation is next? Have the masterfully arrogant overseers of the most corrupt organization in American Journolism decided that their boy in the white house has failed in the level of transformation he has been able to induce and is now primed to shatter the whole evil scheme?
Probably not, but it's nice to dream.

One thing we on the right must never do, and that is whinge. That's what lefties do. We take our defeats like grown-ups and use them to learn.
All this crap I hear form American right-wingers ahbout the media is really annoying. Don't complain about the left-wing bias of the media, just overcome it! All over the World the left wing networks and newspapers are dying because they are boring and can't keep the ionterest of the social A and B classes which trend conservative in all countries.
We on the right cocnstitute the best people in our societies. Yet by whining and by giving in to the media we look like wimps and little hot house flowers.

The most disgusting fact from this whole episode was Ted Kennedy leading the charge as the MORAL ARBITER of the Senate. The drunken, womanizing, lecherous, murdering whore monger was the avatar of morality who smeared and slandered a brilliant man. Ted Kennedy was a suppurating pustule who NEVER should have set one foot in the halls of Congress and his legacy has contaminated and debauched politics ever since. I cheered when he finally bit the dust.

America is adamant on maintaining its right to murder infants, all politics is subsumed under this horrible fact. The Bork hearings were a seminal event in opening the eyes of good people to the horror that America had become since Roe Vs. Wade. Now America is near the end of her lifecycle, as an influential empire.

The only congressional committee hearing I ever followed from start to finish. I even ordered the complete transcript.
The most idiotic comment to emerge from this event was the NYT editorial judgment that the exchanges between Bork and Arlen Specter were an intellectual clash of the highest order.
It was a struggle between an intellectual hurricane and a dust-bunny. There was a front-page story that included an account of the reaction of a bunch of law students at Yale. They were distressed by the legal, rather than "human," tone of the debate. It was easy to see why they wished to get escape from thought into the realm of feeling.

The rules of civility were always followed a bit loosely, but jump 20 years later and we get those who had become so accustomed to it that they had no compunction about specuating aloud that perhaps John Roberts' son was gay – before they realized he was four years old. Then it morphed into John Roberts himself being gay.

I listened to the entire hearing on the radio. Judge Bork's testimony was the clearest exposition of constitutional law I've ever encountered. Nonetheless a Senator from the deep south voted against him because , he claimed, Bork looked odd and thus was "out of the mainstream". His rejection was a national disgrace. The judge who it really brought to us was Souter, nominated solely because his views, left wing to the core, were obscure

On the Obamacare decision, I believe Chief Justice Roberts, not Justice Kennedy, will be the swing vote. I expect Justices, Kennedy, Alito, Scalia and Thomas will reject Obamacare. I am not sure Chief Justice Roberts will. On a previous commerce clause case, he voted with the four liberals. If Obamacare is upheld, what is to keep a bank-friendly Congress from requiring that Americans have at least one credit card, with penalties for any American who does not have a credit card?
Concerning Bork — he was not confirmed by the Senate because Republicans did not control the Senate and President Reagan did not fight for him. Senator Kennedy's diatribe was issued as soon as the nomination was announced. There was no denunciation from the administration — or from any prominent Republicans, if my memory is accurate — of Senator Kennedy's mean-spirited comments.
Perhaps the political antecedents of the Bork nomination go back to the Fortas situation, when Republicans and conservative Democrats (including Sen. Ervin, later a lib icon via the Senate Watergate hearing that he chaired), in the context of the retirement of Chief Justice Warren prevented Fortas from succeeding Warren and eventually forced Fortas off the court. The Democrats got even by denying Nixon's nominations of Judges Haynsworth and Carswell. There, too, the GOP did not have a Senate majority.
Finley Peter Dunne famously pointed out, through his "Mr. Dooley," that the Supreme Court follows the election returns. Apparently, the results on Senate elections are a function of "Mr. Dooley's" observation. Moral for the GOP — whatever happens in the 2012 presidsential election, it is advisable to get a principled GOP majority in the Senate (allowing that 41 Republicans who stand together can filibuster an Obama nomination).
Back to Bork — I think the expectation was that the nominee would dazzle the the Judiciary Committee with his brilliance. Didn't happen. Indeed, I recall that Sen. Heflin (D. Ala.) suggested that Judge Bork's bearded appearance had a weird aspect. Hell hath no fury greater than a liberal zealot intent on blocking a Supreme Court nominee deemed hostile to left-wing result-oriented jurisprudence.

the marxist media actually came out in the open on Feb 3, 1968 in Saigon when an AP photographer circulated the photo of the Chief of National Police executing a communist mass murderer and purposely ID'd the killer as a Vietcong "soldier." The VC killer had murdered multiple National Police officers and their unarmed families in a mass grave and had escaped the National Police several times before being recaptured. The Chief knew the officers whom the communist killer had murdered as well as the family members murdered by the same communist killer.
US editors,fully aware of mass murderer's history, purposely used the Saigon photo to support anti-war sentiment. The media marxists came after Judge Bork with a vengeance honed by 19 years of commie coddling which began in Saigon in 1968.Lastly, Judge Bork graduated from college when he was 16, in 1944. The future jurist enlisted in the US Marines shortly thereafter and fought in the Pacific as an infantrymen. After the war Judge Bork returned home, went to law schoolw school and volunteered for Marine duty as a military attorney because he didn't feel it was right for someone with the gifts he had to get by without serving his country.
The Kennedy assault on Judge Bork is well-documented. The diving hero of Chappaquiddick was partying with three other fortyish, married Irish democrat lawyers and their twenty-something single concubines when the drunken Senator from Massachusetts killed his girl friend for the night, Mary Jo Kopechne in a watery grave off Chappaquiddick Bridge in July, 1969.October 24, 2011 - 12:30 pm Link to this Comment | Reply-
Tom; Well written and so to the point. Kennedy was a drunken (rich) lout whose father paid for the justice rendered. No justice. I spent many of my working years as a traffic officer. I investigated fatal accident for prosecution. I attended an advanced class in traffic accident investigation at a well know university in the Ill are. The PhD had been hired to investigate the accident and was only able to state don't ride with ted Kennedy.

I have not seen or heard, even obliquely, that Bork got in trouble during the "Saterday Night Massacre" when Nixon went doww the list at Justice and found his henchman in Bork. Why is it never cited, from Left or Right, in the bitter argument that never ends?

I was in my early years of college during this. I was out of the country (and therefore out of touch) when the actual hearings were going on.
I came back to the U.S. in the aftermath. Curious as to what the fuss was about, I read Bork's book. The thoughtful wisdom with which he wrote was in complete conflict with the way he had been portrayed in those hearings.
That led me to a few simple questions. First, how could the Democrats have been so wrong about who he was? Why? What agendas were they trying to protect? And what did it say about a political party that they could be that vicious and deceitful? If truth mattered so little to them, then how could they be trusted?
The implications of those questions were a watershed for me. It was probably the specific moment that I began my transformation from a moderate Democrat college kid to the patriot/revolutionary that I am now.
LGoPs, I can relate to your perspective, I'm just one decade younger.

Kennedy lied, but telling the truth might have prevented Bork from getting on the court. Bork was a "judicial conservative," but he wasn't much of a conservative, which today is the equivalent of "classical liberal." He thought that the 9th Amendment was an inkblot, and believed in deference to Congress, even when constitutional rights were at stake. He would have joined the majority in Kelo, for example.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The National Restaurant Association (NRA) is supporting the Small Business Liability Reform Act of 2003, a bill presented to the U.S. House of Representatives by Reps. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) and Ken Lucas (D-Ky.).
According to a news release, the bipartisan bill is aimed at preventing small businesses from being the target of frivolous lawsuits by capping punitive damages and limiting liability for non-economic damages.
"Restaurant operators are all too familiar with the realities of frivolous lawsuits and the fact that it could take just one to drive them out of business," Steven C. Anderson, president and chief executive officer of the NRA, said in the release. "We applaud Reps. Chabot and Lucas for recognizing the need for this legislation and hope the Senate will do the same."
The Small Business Liability Reform Act caps punitive damages at the lesser of three times the amount awarded to the claimant for economic and non-economic losses, or $250,000.
"Litigation, particularly improper litigation, imposes a significant burden on small businesses," Anderson said. "With an average profit margin of 4 percent, many restaurants may not survive a protracted and expensive lawsuit."

DeathFor all his professional demeanor, Ratchet cant stand to lose patients. You cant realize what it puts him through. No one can. Hell never tell. The only reason Ive been privy to this bit of knowledge was because I found out by accident. A literal accident, actually. We used to work with this mech who was quite fond of anything that exploded and well, its a long story. So, was I surprised to walk into the temp base and find a blade at my neck? Absolutely not. Ratchet stood there, stock still, his arm around my neck and his weapon unwavering. I just stopped and waited. It was like this sometimes and this time was probably going to be worse. I could disarm him, turn the situation around in a nano-click but itd only serve to make things harder. A lot harder. And harder is not something Ratchet needed
H2OH2ORust, apparently, was the bane of Ironhides existence. Everyone who met him was quick to discover that the trigger-happy old warrior had issues with any substance that even looked remotely like oxidized metal. Technical Sergeant Epps was no exception. It was a normal day for the human as he walked into the secluded and low key aircraft hanger. It was even normal to hear the insistent arguments between two giant and colorful robots sitting across from one another at a similarly giant table. Ironhide was, of course, grousing about the potential for metal deterioration and the constant threat of fluids in systems that needed no such liquids. Ratchet, on the other hand, looked more put off at the idea of arguing over this -again- and was constantly prattling off the nearly rehearsed lines of his counterargument. It was like a play that never ended. Today, however, something caught the Sergean

I was at a LGS yesterday looking at their 45 display case and something caught my eye. Now there was a Glock 36 in the display case too so I looked at both of them. This Sig and the Glock 36 seemed to be about the same size and also holds 6+1. This Sig Sauer single stack 45 was only $430 !!! Now you are probably wondering what SS-45 is this made by Sig, well it is the Sig Sauer P250 45 subcompact. I just looked up the specs of this and its competitors and here they are:
Sig Sauer P250 45 subcompact
- Length: 6.7inches
- Width: 1.1inches
- Height: 4.7inches
- Barrel Length: 3.6inches
- Weight: 24.9ounces with magazine
- Capacity: 6+1
Glock 36
- Length: 6.77inches
- Width: 1.13inches
- Height: 4.77inches
- Barrel Length: 3.78inches
- Weight: 20.11ounces - I do not know if this is with or without the magazine
- Capacity: 6+1
Springfield Armory XD-S 45
- Length: 6.3inches
- Width: 1.0inches
- Height: 4.4inches
- Barrel Length: 3.3inches
- Weight: 21.5ounces
- Capacity: 5+1
I already have a P250 9mm subcompact on layaway but am now thinking that maybe I should also get this SS-45 as it feels just as sweet. I know that many people have complained about the long but sliky smooth DAO trigger of the P250, but I am just guessing that these people that complain are not used to the DAO feel and can not shoot it well. Just my opinion, but it seems like the Sig Sauer P250 45 Subcompact is a very under-rated pistol. I wonder why it is not as popular to people as some of the others,again I am guessing it is the trigger. I know it can't be the size as it is just about the same as the very popular Glock 36 and a smidge larger than the new Springfield Armory XD-S 45. Does anyone here have one that can share their experiences with it with us please !!! God Bless

Based off of 'New perspective' by Panic! At the disco. Enjoy! (^∇^)
'Who cares! Define intervention, I wanna be praised from a new perspective! But, leaving now would be a good idea, so catch me up on getting outta here.'
'I want to be someone else... They must have an easy life...' Isn't that a universal thought? Haven't you ever wanted to be someone else? Don't lie either.
"I hate this! Shut up all of you!" You shouted, slamming your hands on the meeting table, earning jumps from a few countries. "Miss _______ is right... SO SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" Germany yelled from the other side of the room. The G8 meetings were stressful, especially for a new country such as your self... You looked around the table, seeing the new faces in which you hadn't been introduced. Your eyes stopped at a blonde man, whose eyebrows you could see from the other side of the table, and you tried to suppress a giggle. He was sitting to two other blonde guys, one had glasses and a cowlick, and a bomber jacket, and the other blonde man kinda scared you. He was giving you perverted looks. You wanted to talk to everyone as soon as the meeting was over. You were currently living with Romano, and didn't want to hear his constant cursing for a little while. You had time to meet everyone.
After the meeting was over, the two blondes, a man with a scarf and long jacket, a girl with a shinatty chan doll, Japan (Coz you know him, and you love manga don't you?) and the brother of your Romano, none other than Italy. "Ni-Hao! I am China, and we all would like to welcome you aru! Also, if your wondering, I'm a boy aru!" You were shocked that he knew what you were thinking. The three blondes walked forward, and one ran up to you, causing you to give out a squeak. "YO DUDE! IM AMERICA! But, you can call me the HERO!" You shakily grinned and the one with the big eyebrows smacked him on the back of the head. "Pardon his rude manners, I am England, these two are a little out if it, so I apologize for anything they do wrong." You blushed at his manners and politeness. The third sauntered over to you, earning a life threatening glare from England. "Bonjour mon cher ! Vous êtes très jolie ~ Ohnonononon~ I am France!" He kissed your hand, and you grimaced, pulling your hand away, and pulled out a napkin, wiping your hand off. "Hello! I am Russia become one with me da?~" Your eyes widened, and you backed away cautiously. "U-um no t-thank you! Anyways, I'm ________ _________, but you can call me ______! It's nice to meet all of you, and I hope we can all be good friends!" You chirped happily, smiling sweetly at everyone. You saw a light pink dust the cheeks of the Englishman, and you found yourself blushing as well. You went home, thinking about seeing everyone again.

She yelped when a particularly traitorous strand nearly cleaved her eyeball in two. This Tea Party was nothing short of torture. Of course, she could pull her hair out of her face, but that course of action involved breaking the pitiful shield her arms provided against the frigid weather. Who knew winters in Underland were so terrible? Sure, the snow made everyone's tea a great deal sweeter, but was it worth numb limbs and blue lips? It was too cold to even build a snowman. "Hatter!" she called to the other end of the table, blinking away tears in her stinging eye. She was a bit too loud to be considered polite for a tea party, but Wind was a justifiable cause of rudeness in Underland, so she had an excuse if anyone thought to bring it up. "Can't we go inside? We're all freezing our hats off out he

Yorke and his mates in Radiohead have been consistently regarded as one of the world's greatest bands for years, both in their live performances and their studio albums, and they always know exactly which buttons to push. When they decided not to promote Kid A, it still went to No. 1. When they gave In Rainbows away for free, it still topped many critics' year-end wrap-up lists. Yorke's preening, high-pitched voice is as scathing as it is soothing, and accompanies some of the most out-there rock 'n' roll of his time, earning many comparisons to Pink Floyd while producing nothing the likes of which we've ever heard.

Set up in 1975, three years after UNEP began, the Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (DTIE) provides solutions to decision-makers and helps change the business environment by offering platforms for dialogue and cooperation, innovative policy options, pilot projects and creative market mechanisms.
Like UNEP as a whole, DTIE addresses environmental issues at global and regional levels, provides leadership and encourages partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing and enabling nations and people to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.
DTIE works with many partners: other UN agencies and programmes, international organizations, governments, non-governmental organizations, business, industry, media and the public. DTIE plays a leading role in three of UNEP's six strategic priorities: climate change, harmful substances and hazardous waste, and resource efficiency.The division is a leading contributor to the Green Economy Initiative, launched by UNEP in 2008. This aims to shift national economies on to a new path, in which jobs and output growth are driven by increased investment in green sectors, and by a switch of consumers' preferences towards environmentally friendly goods and services

Yου mυѕt remember thаt еνеrу managed insurance organization іѕ required bу law tο follow аn appeal process, аnd уου саn gο through thіѕ tο gеt уουr payment. Hοwеνеr, іf thіѕ fails аnd уου strongly believe thаt уουr claim іѕ unfairly denied, уου mау want tο hire thе services οf health care lawyer whο саn hеlр уου file a lawsuit against уουr insurance company.
Getting уουr hospital expenses covered bу уουr medical insurance саn bе a truly frustrating task tο accomplish. If уου аrе faced wіth expensive medical costs аnd уουr рlаn refuses tο pay fοr treatment even іf уου аrе entitled tο coverage, уου саn аnd ѕhουld consider appealing уουr case.
Interpreting уουr policy саn bе complicated, аnd a health care lawyer саn guide уου through thіѕ tο lеt уου know exactly whаt kind οf benefits уου аrе entitled tο. Hе οr ѕhе саn give уου thе counseling уου need іn order tο address уουr concerns. Considering thе gravity οf thе legal woes involved аnd thе tendency οf both insurance companies аnd medical plans tο defend thеіr claims οf denial, аn attorney specializing іn such a field саn greatly represent уου іn thе court οf law.
Attorneys usually take thіѕ type οf case οn a contingent fee basis. In thіѕ kind οf arrangement, уουr counsel wіll first carefully assess уουr situation before filing a complaint, eventually advancing іt tο investigation аnd litigation. If уου win, associated fees аrе paid frοm уουr recovery. If уου lose, thеу don't charge уου аt аll.
Of course, finding thе best health care lawyer іѕ never a walk іn thе park. Hence, уου need tο consider уουr options tο mаkе sure thаt уου wіll bе аblе tο рυt up a gοοd fight against уουr insurance company. Stаrt уουr search bу gathering аll thе documents thаt relate tο уουr medical рlаn such аѕ thе dates οf service, hospital fees аѕ well аѕ thе name οf thе providers. Dο nοt forget tο include уουr policy аnd thе copies οf уουr benefits forms, claim forms аnd denial letters.
Next, refer tο trusted firms online tο look fοr attorneys thаt specialize іn insurance claims аnd bаd faith litigation. Yου саn аlѕο аѕk fοr referrals frοm friends οr relatives whο hаνе already hired thе services οf attorneys thаt handle insurance claim disputes. Aѕ much аѕ possible list down a number οf attorneys аnd speak tο thеm one bу one. Bе сеrtаіn thаt уου relay tο thеm уουr issues, including thе reasons οf denial аѕ well аѕ thе amount οf money involved. Alѕο, try tο know thеіr hourly charges аnd legal fees ѕο thаt уου wіll hаνе аn іdеа іf іt wіll cost уου more іf уου wіll continue tο appeal thе claim thаn thе recovery thаt уου wіll receive іn case уου win.
Set a face tο face meeting аѕ thіѕ wіll greatly hеlр уου іn assessing thе counsels іn уουr list. Mοѕt medical attorneys provide free initial consultation, ѕο уου саn take advantage οf thіѕ tο review thеіr relevant experiences. Talk аbουt thе involved costs upfront ѕο thаt уου wіll know іf уου ѕhουld gο οn οr nοt. Thеn, properly weigh уουr options аnd сhοοѕе thе one whοm уου feel comfortable wіth, understands уουr needs, аnd wіll suffice tο уουr standards. Once done wіth аll thеѕе, уου саn pursue уουr claim together wіth уουr attorney аnd assert уουr rights аѕ a medical рlаn member.

have I screwed up the code or will I see these problems because I'm using this?
<added> I'm using it in the head section </added>
I had a similar problem, especially when framed by Lycos's "Fast Forward" feature. The frame-escape would often leave "broken" html fragments on the page.
I fixed it by moving the frame buster to the bottom of the page. Since the page is already (usually) cached, it the reload isn't usually disuptive.
Here's the code I was using:

I'd love to hear some better suggestions - I got it working and forgot about it, but it's rather inelegant.
What I meant was that moving my code to the bottom of the page where it will force a reload (but usually from the browser cache) was inelegant - I certainly meant no disrespect to your code. Moving the frame-buster fixed the problem I was seeing, but forced the entire page to be reloaded - so I considered it a "band-aid" fix.
Earnestly awaiting more opinions...
Oh, goodness, I was not clear. I did not think you were refering to my code! I was "trying" to be humerous about your comment of inelegant. I know nothing about js. But, thanks for the clarification on how it would cause a reload.

Boaters Reminded to Be Vigilant for Sea Turtles
BOSTON – July 15, 2013 – With the summer season underway, officials from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) are urging boaters to watch out for the endangered leatherback sea turtle.
Leatherback sea turtles are seasonal visitors to the Massachusetts coast where they feed on gelatinous zooplankton. However leatherbacks often become entangled in buoy lines associated with fixed fishing gear while foraging in northern waters, especially in areas with a high density of gear and/or turtles. They are also very susceptible to vessel collision.
State marine officials are asking boaters, when encountering a leatherback, to reduce speed and immediately report sightings of entangled turtles to the Marine Animal Entanglement Response Hotline (1-800-900-3622) or to the U.S. Coast Guard, and then remain by the animal at a safe distance until trained responders arrive.
The Massachusetts Sea Turtle Disentanglement Network has already documented 10 leatherback entanglements this year, a rate that has increased above previous years.
Unfortunately, many of these cases were not properly addressed due to a lack of prompt reporting or ad-hoc disentanglement attempts by untrained boaters. The Marine Animal Entanglement Response team operates a 24-hotline and rapid response network to react to these entanglements.
DMF and the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies have partnered on the Massachusetts Leatherback Sea Turtle Disentanglement Network since 2005 on the using grant funds from the National Marine Fisheries Service.
For more information, visit the DMF website at www.mass.gov/marinefisheries.

**Heyyy, front page?! Ahhh, you guys are the best. :D
*Thank you everybody for the reviews. I'm glad so many of you knew of SkiFree, and that I could help you reminisce. It was one of the first games I played and I loved it. Daily second?! Awesome. Thats kind of a big deal to me, so thanks again everybody.
Hey there. Free Board is my tribute to that old PC game SkiFree. There was a lot of experimentation done here, like zooming camera and getting real shape to the snowboard path.
Controls - Use the right and left arrow keys to rotate your boarder.
Press p to Pause.
Go through the gates to put time on your clock while dodging trees and rocks.
You can get extra time and points by hitting jumps and spinning, or jumping over obstacles.
You can get back to the Main Menu at any time by pressing "p" and clicking "Menu"
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I really like it but I'm pretty sure I won't play it very often. I miss the chalenge of high score there is with Snowball Ambush.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
where's snowman?
its like making a 3PS without crosshair, Fail!
I cry myself to sleep every night with regret
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This was actually really fun. Nostalgic in the fact that it looked like a more slick, stylish version of Ski-Free. I seriously expected the abdominal snowman to come out and eat me in this.
The gameplay was great, hard at times and a little tricky to get used to. But that was just homage to the players skill, pushing them further and further to get in the game, see how far they can go, and how far they've progressed.
I enjoyed free mode, something about the ability to jump over 300m of trees at the fastest speed was fun. The time attack mode was very well thought out too, very tricky at times but that just made it all the more enjoyable.
The game was simple and that's all it had to be, good work.

Building on the author's popular first book, Painting Beautiful Skin Tones with Color & Light, this title moves readers forward in the exploration of painting beautiful skin tones step by step by expanding on the original demonstrations in the first book to include Native American, Mediterranean, Asian, Caucasian brunette and Caucasian redhead, as well as updated African American and Latino subjects. Readers will enjoy two demonstrations for each of the seven diverse subjects--one from life and one from photographs. Though oil painting is the basis of the book's demonstrations, Chris Saper's techniques are not medium specific and can apply to artists interested in all forms of portraiture.
- Perfect for beginner, intermediate and seasoned artists who want traditional techniques for portrait painting

The date had gone well.
She wore her prettiest purple coat, the one her sister had given her, brand new and pressed clean.
He picked her up at the right time, and he kissed her during the movie.
Afterwards, they wandered for hours through the city streets, gazing up at the pitch black sky.
I'm so happy right now, he said.
I feel so
She had nodded.
She wore her prettiest purple coat, the one her sister had given her - her sister loved purple and pink.
Five years old, bouncing on the bed, her sister grabbed the puffy dress-up dress they shared.
I get to be the princess!
Four years old, cross-legged and still, she pulled up the crinkled white sheet and wrapped it around her shoulders.
I get to be the goddess.
It worked for both of them.
I feel so alive, he said.
You're beautiful.
You, in that coat.
You're so beautiful and alive.
His arms were inside her coat, wrapped around her waist, and she looked over his shoulder.
The sky wasn't pitch black after all, it was gray without color, swirling thickly where it hung below the stars.
Blinking color, red and purple and green, framed the moon instead.
Cars roared past without breath, tossing her long loose hair to the side, hugging the coat tighter around the two of them.
The city was alive around them, and the moon hung dead in the sky.
Four years old, hair braided for bed, sheets draped around her pajamas.
Her sister, framed against the open window.
When you wish upon a star, she sings, off-tune as she gathers up the pouffy skirt in her hand.
There are no stars outside of that window.
Not even when she turns her head, her eyes, so so careful not to rustle the sheets.
No stars; only the moon.
When he drives her home, he gives her a goodnight kiss.
Tonight was good, he murmurs.
Her sister watches from the golden window; she flings open the door to let her in.
Did you have a good time, did you, did you?
Face pulled up into lines, bright smile, fingers running over the beautiful coat.
Did you, did you?
She shrugs the coat closer.
I felt alive.
I'm tired.
Midnight, perched on the edge of the bed, the coat glowing purple like a heart on the white bedsheets, and her sister braiding her hair.
Bedtime, you're tired, tell me everything tomorrow.
I'll tell you everything tomorrow.
The window is open, the breeze on her hair less and less.
She uses her shirt to dry off the tears down her face.
I felt alive, she sobs.
I felt alive.
Outside, no stars, only the moon.
She can't sleep.
Her dreams feel too alive, even when she wraps the sheets around her shoulders and wishes the colors away.
The breeze is cool through the window when she stands, and she thinks she might shiver.
She grabs the coat on the way out, flings it on, the purple princess coat barely holding on to the ice white sheets.
Out in the garden, the trees are black, and she can't see the city's stars, but there is the moon, always, there is the moon.
She gives up on warmth; she lets the coat slip off.
It falls.
Her and her sheet, under the moon.

I feel as if the gifting system could use a slight tweak. At the moment, you can gift your friends who are level 10 or above and have been your friend for a certain amount of time skins, champions, and RP. With the addition of things like portraits, ward skins, and more bundles, I feel that we should be able to gift those as well. It would be awesome if i could save 600 RP gifting a champ skin bundle to a friend, rather then buying each separately. What do you think?
Product Manager
Howdy The Giant Flab, Gifting is a great way to show friends you care and share enjoyment of League. We definitely want to expand ways for people to gift to friends and are hoping to have more options (TBD) in time for Snowdown. Thanks for the suggestion!
Brann Orn
Speaking of this it would be nice that if you owned a skin no longer available at the store (Hextech Galio ect.) you would still be able to gift it for the appropriate cost. Seeing as you already own/have unlocked the skin that seems fair.

Besides the official music showcases at September's MidPoint Music Festival, the 12th annual fest featured the most (and best) "satellite events" in MPMF history. These "unofficial" happenings — ranging from "day parties" to various musical presentations, like the free performances at Findlay Market — greatly added to the electricity MPMF brought to Downtown and Over-the-Rhine. It showed what can happen when creative people get into the MPMF spirit and try to come up with clever ways to add to it.
Some of the best examples of this were found just off the MidPoint Midway area at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, where programmers of the school's gallery (with presenters Fotofocus) decided to run an exhibit of live music photography by area photographers called Reverberation: Capturing the Live Music Experience during the fest, to capitalize on all of the music lovers flooding the streets of OTR. (Click here to read CityBeat's feature about the exhibit.)
Adding another layer of collaborative coolness to the proceedings was "The MidPoint Sessions," intimate performances by four Ohio musical acts held at the photography exhibit on the Saturday afternoon of the festival. The great Athens, Ohio, Indie/Orchestral Folk ensemble The Ridges performed and curated the rest of the Ohio-centric lineup, which also included Cincinnati's Molly Sullivan and The Happy Maladies, plus Columbus' Indigo Wild.
The MidPoint Sessions were filmed by The Queen City Project, a local organization that has set out to creatively document some of the interesting and unique things going on in contemporary Cincinnati. Here's an entertaining, quick-cut look at MidPoint through QCP's lens:
Queen City Project :: Midpoint Music Festival 2013 from the Queen City Project on Vimeo.
And we are thrilled to be able to share QCP's first video from The MidPoint Sessions, featuring The Ridges.
Queen City Project :: Midpoint Music Festival 2013 :: The Art Academy Sessions :: The Ridges from the Queen City Project on Vimeo.
Be sure to check CityBeat's music blog every Friday over the three weeks as we unveil the rest of the Sessions series videos.
Today marks the first day of the tenth annual MidPoint Music Festival in venues throughout Over-the-Rhine (and a few Downtown). AND the President of the United States is in town. I don't think the two are related, but who knows — maybe Barack Obama is a huge Mansions on the Moon fan? Mr. President, I'm sure you're reading this on your Blackberry — stick around this evening after your speech about how fixing our crumbling, dangerous interstate bridge is probably more important than saving Carl Linder a few bucks on his tax returns and come on down to MidPoint to catch some of the hottest musical acts on the planet right now. Your Secret Service guys can watch your back, we'll be your tour-guides and, heck, I'll even buy you a beer or two (you still like Bud Light, right?). Email me ASAP and we'll set you and your crew up with wristbands (sorry, the VIP passes are all sold out). In the meantime, here are a few suggestions (must-sees, big-timers and sleeper picks) for MPMF showcases you can check out tonight.
Besides all of the great music, one of the most fun elements of the MidPoint Music Festival (coming Sept. 26-28 to various venues in Over-the-Rhine and Downtown) is the MidPoint Midway, with its carnival-like atmosphere, music offerings, food and other vendors bustling along the fest's 12th Street vein.
The "Box Truck Carnival" is one of the cornerstones of the Midway, showcasing the creative minds of Cincinnatians in the form of "box trucks" that are remade into … anything the re-designers can dream up. The organizers at ArtWorks call them "experimental 'carnival' booths."
Last year's box trucks included a photo booth (from Queen City Project), a "shadow-dance" club (from Golden Brown Enterprises), an improvisational comedy club (from OTR Improv), an interactive magnetic sculpture (from the Loose Parts Project) and a "Free Advice" booth (from Calcagno Cullen).
ArtWorks and Springboard Cincinnati recently put the call out for proposals for the third annual Box Truck Carnival.
Here are some of the details from ArtWorks:
Artists and creatives are invited to create unique interactive installations within the confines of a 16' or 24' long truck. Past submissions have included performance art, a photo booth, putt-putt course, dance party, and more.
Participants will be awarded a $500 stipend for materials and supplies, provided the truck is returned to the rental company with no damage or alterations after the festival. ArtWorks will cover the cost of one week truck rental, insurance, and mileage not to exceed 100 miles. Generators will be provided.
A panel will got through all submissions and pick 8-10 concepts they'd like to see come to fruition. If you're proposal is accepted, you will be notified by Aug. 9.
The MidPoint Midway is free and open to the public. This year, the hours are 5 p.m.-midnight on Sept. 26 and 27, and noon-midnight on Sept. 28. (On Sept. 28, MPMF is planning some family-friendly fun — dubbed "KidPoint" — from noon-4 p.m. along the Midway. More info on that coming soon.)
See what you can come up with over the next few days. Deadline for submissions is this WEDNESDAY (JULY 31), 5 p.m. Click here for the submission form. Email email@example.com with any questions.
(This post was updated to reflect ArtWorks' recently extended deadline)
The 2010 MidPoint Music Festival is just three days away, so if you haven't firmed up your plans yet now's the time. And here's the big ticketing detail you need to be aware of: Three-day "all access" wristband sales end before the festival kicks off Thursday, replaced by one-day wristbands on sale each night at all venues.
If you still have the energy after ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the fireworks on the river Sunday night — or if you're avoiding them altogether because you hate crowds (I'll be live tweeting the TV broadcast of the fireworks for all you homebodies) — two great Ohio bands are performing for free at Over-the-Rhine club MOTR Pub immediately following the big booms.
The fireworks after-party kicks off with Columbus Indie Rock crew Indigo Wild, a crafty, eclectic band that has built a nice following in Cincy thanks to frequent performances in the area (band members live in both Cincinnati and Ohio's capital). Here's a fun music video for Indigo Wild's song "Rowboats," featured on the band's debut release, the If By Sea EP (which came out last year around this time; click here to listen or purchase).
Headlining the show are The Ridges, an Athens, Ohio-based Orchestral Indie Folk troupe that has also amassed a solid following in Cincinnati. The MidPoint Music Festival vets — who perform in different configurations, depending on which members are available (including string and horn players) — return to play MPMF.12 in a few weeks. The Ridges are currently prepping a full-length album (recorded here in Cincinnati), so fans may even get a few new songs at the MOTR show.
The group performed at this summer's MidPoint Indie Summer concert series on Fountain Square, where they did an interview with CityBeat's John Byrne for a cool video feature. Learn more about the band and hear a few snippets of music in the piece below. (You can view more videos from Byrne's Indie Summer video series here.)
If you are a musician who has an act they'd like to showcase at this year's MidPoint Music Festival and you haven't submitted for consideration, you better get on it. Tomorrow is the final day submissions will be accepted.
Click here for details on how to submit an EPK for consideration.
In related news, the MidPoint Indie Summer concert series (which has it's own Wikipedia page!) returns every Friday on Fountain Square starting June 1. Expect lineup announcements soon. A certain amazing local Power Pop/Rock band has "hinted" they will be a part of the series this year. But you didn't hear it from me.
MidPoint has also posted some fresh artwork that you are encouraged to use to create your own "posters, clothes, or otherwise interesting and useful things." Get your base materials here and check out the design below.
Have fun at MidPoint on Friday? Did you temper your drinking habits and take care of your eardrums well enough to get back out there tonight? Below check out some audio/visual previews of a few of Saturday's best MidPoint Music Festival bets (read our previews off all of these acts and more at mpmf.com). And, again, feel free to pimp anyone we failed to mention in the comments below.
MPMF news and musings: The official MidPoint Music Festival guide (on the streets of Greater Cincinnati until Wednesday, then resurfacing when it's MPMF-time) included a few feature stories this year about some of the festival's bonus features and additions. Read Leyla Shokoohe's interview with MPMF main-man, CityBeat's own Dan McCabe, about the fest's dedication to Over-the-Rhine and new MPMF venues Washington Park and the Emery Theatre here.
And now, with the countdown down to just 12 days, here are our daily MidPoint Music Festival 2012 picks …
Grizzly Bear (Brooklyn, NY)
Indie Art Pop
When this year's initial MPMF performers were announced, eclectic Brooklyn crew Grizzly Bear was by far the name that seemed to most excite fest-goers. The group's eccentric mix of artsy arrangements, organic psychedelia and boundless experimentalism has been earning the fans an ever-increasing and loyal fanbase since their lysergic debut release in 2004. Though continually adventurous, the band's sound has grown and matured with the size of its following — 2009's Veckatimest debuted at No. 8 on Billboard's album chart and seemingly made every single music critic in the world's "Top 10 Best" list that year. Expect an even bigger response from critics and fans when Grizzly Bear finally unleashes the much-anticipated new release, Shields, released just prior to the band's MPMF stop. There's a very good chance one of MPMF.12's biggest acts will be sporting a Top 10 album by the time they get to Washington Park (an MPMF first).
You'll Dig It If You Dig: Brian Wilson at his "off-the-meds" creative peak, listening to an "AM Gold" Soft Rock compilation and a Kraut Rock comp after drinking gallons of psychedelic mushroom tea.
Grizzly Bear headlines the Washington Park stage on Friday, Sept. 28 at 8:30 p.m. The band performed the lead-off track from its new Shields album, "Sleeping Ute," on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night. Take a look/listen:
Rich Aucoin (Halifax, CAN)
Electro Pop
On his enthralling 2011 full-length, We're All Dying to Live, Canadian musician Rich Aucoin decided he'd invite Canada to record with him. As a result, the album features over 500 musicians, whose teaming on Aucoin's dynamic, funky and craftily constructed tracks makes Dying to Live sound like the Electro Disco party of the century. But it's not just a mindless exercise in dancefloor stereotypes — there's depth and nuance to Aucoin's songwriting and layering that might not be noticeable initially. Unlike a lot of Dance acts, Aucoin's music isn't disposable fun — it's essential and commands repeated listens.
Dig: '80s Synth Pop, '70s Disco, of Montreal, 4AD artists, Chic and Duran Duran in art school together.
Rich Aucoin performs at Below Zero Lounge on Thursday, Sept. 27, at 11 p.m. Here is the hour-long film created to sync up with We're All Dying to Live (plus, of course, the full album for a free preview listen).
Rich Aucoin - We're All Dying To Live :: Public Publication EP / Over The Top! LP from Sonic Entertainment Group on Vimeo.

Milestone birthday for Frances O'Connor Kranz McAlpin
She has always met life's challenges and continued onward. Her first husband had a devastating stroke, her second had Alzheimer's, and for years, she worked seven days a week. As life happened, the family changed their plans and continued to live full lives.
Today, after 100 years, Frances O'Connor Kranz McAlpin continues to look forward.
Fran's 100th birthday was actually March 31 - but the party for all her Hastings friends is later this month.
