Green (lower body) practices briefly, questionable for Thursday
Feb 20, 2013, 12:29 PM EDT
Capitals defenseman Mike Green lasted just 10 minutes of practice today as he continues to recover from an unspecified lower-body injury.
But Washington head coach Adam Oates wouldn't rule Green out of Thursday's home game against Devils, explaining that his top defenseman only practiced for a short time because he "didn't want to be explosive" yet.
Green missed Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers. The 27-year-old is averaging 26:33 per game, the most of any Capital. He played just 32 games in 2011-12 as he was forced to deal with a "significant" groin injury.
In other Caps news, Braden Holtby will get his fifth straight start in goal tomorrow.

»Twisted Root Gallery
This gallery located just north of downtown OKC is one of the most eclectic in the entire region. One of the highlights here is the sculpted Burl. Burl is an outgrowth of certain trees that results in a bizarre anomaly on the grain, making it perfect for sculpting interesting pieces such as bowls and jars made from Redwood in this particular case. Additionally, the gallery offers paintings, furniture and other items ideal for the home or garden. Overall, this cool collective of artists has something to offer for everyone.
»Paseo Gallery One
This gallery is composed of nine talented, local artists in the quaint and sometimes sleepy Paseo Arts District. The Spanish Colonial architecture of the building itself is worth the visit and inside you will find mostly oil paintings that range from traditional still-life pieces to more contemporary ones. Aside from oil on canvas, visitors will also find sculpture, glass, clay and other mixed-media on occasion within the gallery. Most of the art is for sale and if you would like to create your own masterpiece, you can do it through personalized classes given by the artists. Check website for current exhibits and details on classes and workshops.

Visions in the Paseo is a highly respected photographic art gallery in Oklahoma City's historic Paseo Arts District. Owner Glenn Fillmore is a professional photographer who strives to showcase works from new artists each month.

»Oklahoma History Center
Located on the grounds of the State Capitol and managed under the auspices of the Oklahoma Historical Society, this museum takes visitors on a journey through the state's turbulent and exciting history.

There is also an interactive exhibit about the Chickasaw Nation and the Chesapeake Oklahoma Theater is located inside. Additionally, the museum provides a backdrop for other events such as field trips, workshops, weddings, etc. Check website for more details and information.
»Governor's Mansion
This Dutch Colonial mansion of 12 rooms and 14,000 square feet has been the home of the governor since 1928. There is an Oklahoma room with a carpet featuring the state seal. The Phillips Pavilion was added on the grounds for larger parties, because the inside dining area was only able to seat 60 for dinner. The new pavilion also features a gift shop where you can pick up souvenirs and Made-in-Oklahoma items. Guided tours are offered on Wednesdays. Admission is free.
»National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum
The American West in all its glory and grandeur is captured in this 220,000 sq. ft. museum. There are hundreds of sculptures and thousands of paintings, photographs and artifacts from the Old West.

You will also see the largest collection of contemporary western artists, as well as the famous paintings of Frederick Remington.
»Harn Homestead
The Harn Homestead and 1889ers Museum is where city benefactor William Fremont Harn developed this quintessential frontier homestead. The estate contains a one-room schoolhouse, a grandiose Victorian mansion and a petting-zoo/farm on the grounds. The land was claimed during the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 and today the complex offers hands-on education about the work ethic during the late 19th Century as well as providing field trips and day camps. The 9.4 acre facility is also available for corporate events, weddings, birthday parties, etc.

You may have noticed that the AMA's Government Relations Department has ramped up social media communications and now provides more online advocacy tools for riders, such as the new AMA Social Media Portal. The power of social media to facilitate political discussion and encourage action is a valuable resource to any grassroots program.
Although the immediacy of using social media to communicate with government is alluring, it still requires careful planning and consistent message development to be successful. With the widespread adoption of social media by legislators and regulators, the AMA emphasizes social media communication as an important part of its advocacy efforts. Social media has redefined how organizations, advocates and individuals communicate with government. Now, people can present real-time opinions, arguments and information to elected officials and program administrators. A 2013 study by the Congressional Research Service reported that 83.4 percent of members of Congress had a registered Twitter account and 90 percent had a registered Facebook page.[1]
The bottom line: Congress and federal and state agencies are online, so advocates need to be there, too.
Members of Congress and their staffs also use social media to gauge public opinion. A 2010 study by the Congressional Management Foundation found that "nearly two-thirds of senior managers and social media managers surveyed think Facebook is a somewhat or very important tool for understanding constituents. 42% say Twitter is somewhat or very important."[2] A robust grassroots program must include sending messages through social media channels to influence this growing audience and reinforce email campaigns, press releases, magazine articles and other long-form communication.
Social media presents a great opportunity for the AMA and its members to:
We have a clear opportunity to send our message to elected officials through social media, but we must send that message as an organization and as individual AMA members in full-force.
Whether it is sending email alerts to activists, posting information to the website or developing Tweet-to-Congress campaigns, the AMA is committed to providing a variety of digital channels to deliver a clear message to government.
Has this digital initiative worked?
Last year, AMA advocates sent 58,591 letters to elected officials. This year, the AMA already has sent 42,912 messages with the alert on the Wi-Fi Innovation Act producing 7,058 messages.
The AMA understands that our online and other advocacy efforts can be successful only if they are supported by motorcyclists, like you, who are willing to take action.
Thousands of riders like you join the AMA to unite for a common goal – to protect our freedom to ride. Please follow the AMA on Twitter @AMA_Rights and like us on Facebook. And sign up for AMA action alerts here.

We hear feedback from members all the time. Feedback helps us do a better job of serving the AMA mission and we welcome it.
One of the many issues you have sounded off on is the AMA's interest in motorcycle-only checkpoints. "What are motorcycle-only checkpoints?" you ask. "I have never experienced them. What is the big fuss?"
This is what AMA member Brian LeSchander thought until he encountered one in New York.
"I was directed by a trooper to pull off the main road into a dead end road that was less than 50 yards long with at least a dozen bikes parked in every direction. The area was covered with rocks , stones and debris. I have a 850-pound motorcycle with a passenger aboard and would not choose this as a stop point if I wasn't directed to. I was ordered to shut down and get off the bike, produce my license, registration and insurance ID card. The officer held my documents and said he would return them to me after we do a lights, horn and tire check, in case he had to write me a citation. I have a current NYS inspection sticker on this bike, and that apparently wasn't sufficient. My paperwork was also in order. He still insisted that we proceed with the check. He did the check and with a smile handed me my paper work back and released me."
It is true that, currently, only a few states implement these checkpoints. And with your help, we have pushed back to prohibit them from appearing in many areas.
However, New York state still routinely targets motorcyclists with motorcycle-only checkpoints.
New York budgeted $490,000 in the past two years alone for these discriminatory stops. Even more troubling, the state used motorcycle safety funds from Section 402 of Title 23. These funds should promote programs like rider education to prevent motorcycle crashes from occurring and not be used to arbitrarily pull over riders and randomly subjecting them to roadside inspections.
We know New York spends much more. It states in its highway safety plans that it has conducted motorcycle-only checkpoints "officially" since fiscal year 2009, but conveniently fails to mention its costs for fiscal years 2009-11.
I hear you still saying, "But that is New York, I don't live there"
The problem is, the funds New York uses to operate motorcycle-only checkpoints are federal dollars. Federal dollars that your state can use in the same way. When we pay our taxes, we should not have to worry the funds will be used to target us with discriminatory checkpoints.
Still not moved to act to end motorcycle-only checkpoints?
There is a report soon to be published from an international organization with a long name and broad influence on motorcycle safety: the Joint Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development/International Transport Forum. Buried in the initial report is a section on use of law enforcement. According to the draft report, "A mix of traditional visible enforcement (with on-the-spot roadside checks by police) and automated enforcement for offences such as speeding or red light has the biggest deterrence effect" (emphasis added).
Now, not only are we fighting how our federal dollars are spent, but also an international body that supports the use of checkpoints.
Fed up? You can do something about it.
The AMA supports S. 127, federal legislation that would prohibit federal funding for motorcycle-only checkpoints. Doing so would severely impact the implementation of these discriminatory checkpoints nationwide. In addition to S. 127, we are pushing for support of H.R. 1861, a companion bill in the U.S. House of Representatives..
Act today by letting your federal lawmakers know that you oppose motorcycle-only checkpoints and support this legislation.
You — the motorcyclist — can count on the AMA to guard your freedoms while you enjoy the ride.

Whether through a registration fee, a special use permit or an OHV sticker purchase, motorcyclists often pay directly for the services they use.
The motorcycling community does not expect a free lunch and lawmakers tend to respect that fact. We want rider training, increased motorist awareness and accessible trails, and we are willing to chip in to make those needs a reality — even agreeing to additional fees for special accounts intended to enhance the experiences of motorcyclists. But we also demand accountability.
Unfortunately, many legislators view these accounts as a means to balance or certify a budget or provide a funding boost for a pet project unrelated to motorcycling.
This year, riders in Texas took notice that motorcycle deaths are rising in their state while dropping across the country, all while the state sits on nearly $16.5 million in unspent motorcycle safety funds. Each year, the funds in the account — accumulated through a $5 surcharge on motorcycle license fees — were held so Texas could certify that its biennial budget balanced.
As a result, state Sen. Kirk Watson (D-Austin) introduced S.B. 754, a bill that would increase the revenue dedicated to motorcycle education and push other legislators to end the practice of using motorcycle training funds to hide budgetary shortfalls.
New Mexico faces a different fight.
Registrations for off-highway vehicles in New Mexico are $50 per owner, collected biennially. The New Mexico Off-Highway and Motor Vehicle Act of 2005 specifically earmarks this money for OHV programs.
However, buried within the 200-page appropriations act is a transfer of $500,000 to the conservation services program of the New Mexico State Park system. As the New Mexico Off-Highway Vehicle Alliance states, "This is especially ironic (and wrong) because by current law, OHVs are not even allowed in any state park!"
In both of these situations, riders are paying into funds that are not being deployed correctly, if at all. This is unfair and should be immediately rectified.
Lawmakers can't fix what they don't know about. That's why you need to make sure you are communicating with your elected officials. Haven't advocated for motorcyclists' rights before? Read the AMA's recently updated "How To Communicate With Government" for tips on getting started.
Are the funds in your state being spent for their intended purpose? If you suspect they are not, please contact the AMA Government Relations Department at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you live in Texas or New Mexico and would like to take action on either of these important issues, please view the AMA Action Alerts for each state, fill out the form at the bottom of the page and click the red "Submit" button.

When reviewing the 114 distracted-driving bills the American Motorcyclist Association is currently tracking across the country, we find the topics range from South Carolina's proposal to make "driving while distracted" illegal, to something as specific as Connecticut's proposed prohibition against driving with a pet in one's lap. For the most part, however, distracted driving legislation focuses on the inappropriate use of technology, such as cellular phones and even products like the wearable Google Glass.
These distractions are so commonplace that we hardly think about them anymore.
We hear a "ding," and we've got a text-message, and we want to respond to it. Or a special "ring" alerts us to an update on a friend's Facebook page, so we have to check that. Is that Beyoncé singing? Time to answer a call from the BFF. Johnny Paycheck? You can let that call from the boss go to voicemail. It's almost funny, isn't it, how easily we can become distracted?
But really, it's not funny at all when we are operating a heavy, complicated motor vehicle in the midst of other road users who are tempted by the same distractions.
On a daily basis, we face an onslaught of information coming to us from more and more sources. Even the cars themselves, with everything from complex entertainment systems to navigation screens to image enhancements meant to help the driver, can actually make the problem worse.
According to the U.S. government's webpage on distracted driving, 3,328 people were killed on U.S. roads due to distracted driving in 2012 alone. For comparison, through 2014, 3,528 combat deaths have been reported in Iraq since the war began.While the motorcycling community has been affected by distracted driving for as long as there have been bikes on the road, the need for a strong position statement against distracted driving was answered by the AMA in 2009. As states struggle with the dangers of these distractions on the roadways, the AMA continues to encourage and support legislation to reduce the number of distracted driving incidents and impose strong penalties against those individuals who choose to neglect their primary responsibility on the road. Support from AMA members and clubs at the local level is crucial to the ongoing success of these legislative efforts.

When most retailers or websites want your personal information, they have to ask for it. And you get a chance to say, "No." But there is at least one integral part of your everyday life where information can leak without your direct knowledge or consent.
Today, many vehicles connect with other entities through navigation devices such as GPS, music services and apps on phones. In addition, most cars and trucks come equipped with event data recorders – commonly called black boxes.
These black boxes collected crash data. However, there are few protections in place to keep your data from being collected and used by others.
The legal and privacy protections have failed to match the pace of development and implementation of new technology. As a result, more personal information than you are aware of – or comfortable with – is being shared with corporations, the government and others.
As part of a rule issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, all new automobiles would be required to have an event data recorder (EDR). Yet, the privacy protections related to that data are ambiguous at best. Only 14 states recognize that the data collected by an EDR is the property of the owner and require a court order or consent of the owner for access.
A bill was introduced in the Congress that attempted to resolve this issue, but it was not enacted.
At the same time, though, assuming that one bill would protect the information of all motorists is delusional thinking. The Senate privacy bill would cover only information collected by an EDR, not information assembled from the myriad other computer systems found on cars and motorcycles.
Motorcycling is about freedom. I don't want to feel there is a spy glass on me when riding my favorite route in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Take the first precautionary steps before riding season starts. Check your owner's manual and see if your motorcycle is equipped with an event data recorder or other technology that has the capacity to store information.
If your bike has an EDR, please let the government relations department at the AMA know, so we can more effectively work to protect your privacy at the federal and state level. You can contact the government relations department.
The National Forest Management Act of 1976 requires every national forest or grassland managed by the U.S. Forest Service to develop and maintain a land management plan. To do so, each forest or grassland turns to the current planning rule for direction.
The 2012 planning rule was published in the Federal Register on April 9, 2012, which was the beginning of the nearly three-year process to develop the planning directives that became effective and available to the public on Jan. 30.
One of the realities of the 2012 rules, as in those before them, is pages of exceptions to the simple language defining lands appropriate for Wilderness designation under the 1964 Wilderness Act. To this day, the AMA supports that act's description of Wilderness: "…Where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain, undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence," and "…generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable."
In contrast, the newly effective 2012 rules go so far as "recognizing the potential need to provide for passive or active restoration of wilderness character in previously modified areas."
As frustrating as this agency's political reality may be, areas that seem inappropriately designated as Wilderness may not come out of a Forest Service inventory at all. They may be pet projects of federal elected officials with personal agendas or involved in political gamesmanship, who may have no idea of the tradition and importance of OHV recreation in the area.
Having the AMA government relations office in Washington, D.C., is critical to monitoring potential Wilderness designations. The depth of federal and forestry experience of the AMA staff provides an inside track to affecting the Wilderness designation process.

In an effort to prohibit the availability of E15, a gasoline formulation that contains up to 15 percent ethanol by volume, the American Motorcyclist Association supports legislation introduced by U.S. Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.), the RFS Reform Act of 2015.
The bipartisan bill would:
• Amend the Renewable Fuel Standard to recognize market conditions and realities
• Eliminate the conventional biofuels mandate. This effectively prohibits the use of corn-based ethanol in the RFS.
• Cap the amount of ethanol that can be blended into conventional gasoline at 10 percent
In other words, E15—a fuel blend that can damage motorcycle fuel systems and engines—will not be permitted if this legislation becomes law.
Take Action to Support Bill
By taking action you will help protect from inadvertent misfueling the 22 million motorcycle and all-terrain vehicles (and the riders who depend on their safe operation) currently in use on America's roads and trails.
Preventing these inadvertent misfuelings has been one of the AMA's top priorities due to the fact that motorcycles and ATVs are not designed to run on ethanol blends higher than 10 percent, and many older machines favored by vintage enthusiasts have problems with any ethanol in the fuel. In fact, often, simply using fuel with blends of ethanol over 10 percent can void a manufacturer's warranty, potentially leaving motorcyclists with thousands of dollars in additional maintenance costs.

Although they are not yet here, automated, driverless cars are coming.
However, looking at some of the new features manufacturers are researching, developing and testing for potential use in new cars, one would think that focusing on the road already is an obsolete concept.
This development poses problems for motorcyclists, as each new feature represents another potential distraction for drivers.
CityLab reports that car companies – in an effort to woo young drivers – increasingly are trying to integrate new and more technology into vehicles. For instance, Beetle is working to seamlessly integrate mobile phones into its new cars – even allowing drivers to take selfies while driving.
We all know that distracted driving is a significant factor in many motorcycle crashes. While we don't have updated data, the Hurt Report stated in 1981 that the most common cause of motorcycle crashes is another vehicle violating the motorcyclist's right-of-way.
The phrase, "I just didn't see the motorcycle," is still too common after a crash. Creating new distractions in vehicles can't be helping the problem.
Paradoxically, even some of the new features designed to make drivers more aware of the road can serve as distractions.
The Massachusetts General Court is considering a bill that would allow cars to have monitors installed that would allow a front-seat passenger to have a television and allow screens that provide "the driver with navigation and related traffic, road, and weather information; images used to enhance or supplement the driver's view forward, behind or to the sides of the motor vehicle; or images that permit the driver to monitor vehicle occupants seated rearward of the driver."
Instead of creating new distractions, government agencies, car companies and individual drivers to work to reduce driver distraction. New technologies may not be the answer.
It is incumbent upon motorcyclists to continue to advocate for sensible policies. The AMA will continue to work with state legislators, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and all other stakeholders to reduce distracted driving and increase the safety of all roadway users.
Last week, AMA staff attended the National Conference of State Legislators.
While some legislators and staff avoided our booth, many were interested in hearing more about our legislative efforts to protect and promote motorcycling – the Indian Chief that Indian Motorcycles loaned us for the event didn't hurt either.
Nick Haris and I spoke with legislators from Maine to Washington and from Texas to Montana. Many of the legislators are riders themselves and, as a result, understand the needs of the motorcycling community.
2014 has been for motorcycle-related legislation – and it isn't over yet.
So far this year, Louisiana passed legislation prohibiting motorcycle-only checkpoints. Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania introduced legislation that would limit the checkpoints in some way, though the legislation either has not yet passed or failed.
Additionally, the AMA tracked more than 250 pieces of legislation related to distracted driving. Some of these bills, such as Wisconsin's A 124, prohibit any driver from engaging in any activity that "reasonably appears to interfere with the person's ability to drive the vehicle safely."
With distracted drivers contributing to many accidents, it is encouraging to see so many legislatures taking up bills to combat the problem.
Equipment issues also proved to be popular this year. The AMA is tracking 49 bills relating to everything from air filters to handlebar height. Perhaps most importantly, Kansas passed H 2318, a bill that allows for modulating headlamps on motorcycles and certain auxiliary side lighting. Lighting issues will remain important as the riding community continues to look for ways to increase conspicuity.
Unfortunately, many states limit auxiliary lighting.
On the privacy front, many states introduced bills that would codify that data captured by an event data recorder belongs solely to the owner of the vehicle. Additionally, New Jersey introduced a bill, A 3527, which would prevent the state from sharing license-plate information with other states for purpose of issuing traffic violations based on evidence from traffic cameras. Missouri H 1368 attempted to ban the use of global positioning systems as a method of tracking the number of miles a vehicle travels.
With no long-term federal funding fix for the Highway Trust Fund, tolls became a more important issue in states this year. Currently, we are tracking 107 bills related to the collection of tolls. The AMA opposes tolls because they divert traffic off highways and onto smaller roads that were not designed to handle such large volumes. This makes the roads more dangerous, not only for motorcyclists, but for all motorists.
While always a hot-button issue, helmet laws (both for and against) accounted for only 1.9% of the bills the AMA tracked.
This is just a small sample of the over 2,200 motorcycle-related bills the AMA is tracking. If you have any questions regarding specific legislation please do not hesitate to contact the government relations department at firstname.lastname@example.com.
It seems every day I read a news article detailing how the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, state-level departments of transportation, or local law enforcement agencies are conducting enhanced enforcement operations targeting motorcyclists.
Often, the article will contain this phrase: "Extra officers will be on duty patrolling areas frequented by motorcyclists and where motorcycle crashes occur."
Whether on the racetrack, trail or highway, motorcycle safety is the top priority for the AMA.
I applaud any and all efforts to reduce motorcycle crashes in an efficient and legal manner. However, I fear the drive behind many of these efforts is misguided.
Yes, motorcycle crashes have gone up. But, it is too easy to look at the raw numbers and assume that motorcycling is getting more dangerous.
For one thing, there are many more motorcycles on the road today. Between 2000 and 2012, the number of registered motorcycles has more than doubled.
Perhaps most importantly, you can't assume that motorcyclists themselves are the cause of all of the increase in crashes.
According to the landmark 1981 Hurt report, "The most common motorcycle accident involves another vehicle causing the collision by violating the right-of-way of the motorcycle at an intersection, usually by turning left in front of the oncoming motorcycle because the car driver did not see the motorcycle."
To use more recent data, in 2007, according to the NHTSA[1], 50 percent of all fatal motorcycle crashes involved another type of motor vehicle. In 40 percent (939) of these fatal accidents, the other vehicle turned left across the motorcycle's path while the rider was going straight or passing or overtaking the vehicle.
I hope law enforcement agencies recognize this and tailor their enforcement strategies accordingly – enforcement should not target areas simply because they are "frequented" by motorcyclists.
Instead, enforcement should target areas where motorcyclists are at greatest risk and motorcycle crashes occur. But even then, not all of the focus should be on the rider. It also should focus on the myriad factors that cause crashes, including distracted drivers, speeding (by both passenger motor vehicles and motorcycles) and driving under the influence.
We riders can do our part by ensuring that we can be seen. This will reduce the chance that another motorist will invade our right of way.
Drivers paying attention to, and respecting, motorcyclists will not occur until enhanced enforcement aligns to counter the causes of crashes. That is why we must ensure enforcement and education campaigns are reaching their target audiences in an effective and legal manner.

Rory McIlroy whacked a drive over 400 yards at the Malayasian Open and announced he had put his US Masters woes behind him
"There was more people upset about that round than I was," he said. "I'm fine. It's one bad round. I'll live and I'm getting on with it."
He shot 3 under par to be five behind leader Alexander Norem.
McIlroy soon showed he ha ut his master's driving problems behind him by whacking his drive on the par five fifth hole past the 400 yard marker thanks to a favorable bounce.
Asked if it was his longest drive ever he said; "Probably,""You don't say this too often but I was almost too close to the green on a par five. It must have went at least 400 yards.
"I was lucky it hit off the cart-path and it could have went out of bounds but it stayed in bounds for me and set up an easy birdie."
By the end of the round jet lag was evident as he missed some easy putts.
"I knew I was going to put a few bad swings on it just because of the way I was feeling but you know hopefully as the week progresses I can get better and shoot some better scores," he said.

At the top of the 9 a.m. et hour on Friday's NBC Today, news anchor Natalie Morales eagerly touted a study released by Washington University in St. Louis on contraception: "A new study suggests that free birth control can dramatically lower rates of abortion and teen births."
Morales then quickly used the findings to promoted ObamaCare: "The report comes as millions of women are about to gain access to free contraception under most workplace insurance plans as part of President Obama's health care law."
Kyle Drennen is a Media Research Center news analyst and serves as a contributing writer to NewsBusters. He joined the MRC in 2007 after graduating from Providence College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and political science.
At the top of the 9 a.m. et hour on Friday's NBC Today, news anchor Natalie Morales eagerly touted a study released by Washington University in St. Louis on contraception: "A new study suggests that free birth control can dramatically lower rates of abortion and teen births."
In a display of just how badly President Obama performed in Wednesday's presidential debate, Friday's NBC Today played a clip of Daily Show host Jon Stewart ripping into Obama: "There is no red America. There is no blue America. There is only the America that can't believe how bad this guy did in the debate. Romney won with the sound up....Romney won with the sound off." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Stewart mockingly implored the President: "...think of your supporters. Look what your performance did last night to one of them." A sound bite followed of the meltdown of MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "What was he doing tonight? He went in there disarmed? Where was Obama tonight?!" Stewart declared: "Mr. President, you broke Chris Matthews!" The Today show hosts all laughed as weatherman Al Roker quipped: "And he's still broken."
Appearing on Friday's NBC Today, left-wing MSNBC host Ed Schultz desperately tried to explain away President Obama's bad debate performance: "I think that there were so many lies coming across that stage, and so many inaccuracies, it was hard for the President to comprehend it and decide which one he wanted to attack first." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Co-host Savannah Guthrie called him out on the liberal talking point: "That sounds a little bit like you're making excuses for the President." Schultz doubled down on his lame attempt to defend the President: "[Romney] was the guy in the board room, he was the corporate shark, he knew how to get this audience done and he was going to run over everybody. And I think that might play to his disadvantage in the long run."
On Thursday's NBC Today, in an attempt to deflect from Mitt Romney's strong debate performance, fill-in co-host David Gregory grilled Romney advisor Ed Gillespie on the Governor's tax plan: "...he wants to extend the Bush tax cuts, he wants to have further tax cuts beyond that, he wants to increase military spending and he rejected a 10 to 1 ratio when it came to cutting spending and raising revenue. So the math simply doesn't add up, does it?"
Gillespie fact-checked Gregory's supposed fact-check:
There have been six studies now that have analyzed what Governor Romney has proposed in terms of lowering tax rates and expanding the base. We've done that in the past in our country's history, it's resulted in economic growth. It would result in economic growth again. And six of those studies says – say that this could be done, very credible studies, without increasing the deficit.
Picking up where he left off Wednesday night, on Thursday's NBC Today, MSNBC's Chris Matthews continued to whine over President Obama's poor debate performance and ranted that Mitt Romney has "been accused of etch-a-sketch, last night was his greatest achievement. Everything he said within days ago, he's ignored." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Prior to Matthews' appearance, co-host Savannah Guthrie noted that he had been "very vocal" during MSNBC's post-debate coverage and played a sound bite of the Hardball host blasting Obama: "I don't know what he was doing out there. He had his head down, he was enduring the debate rather than fighting it. I don't know how he let Romney get away with the crap he threw out tonight about Social Security. Where was Obama tonight?!"
Reporting the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll numbers on Tuesday's NBC Nightly News, political director Chuck Todd touted a rather obvious finding in the numbers, relentless media attacks on Mitt Romney have negatively affected how voters view the Republican nominee.
Todd proclaimed: "That 47% remark, it has left a mark, if you will. When we asked, 'Is there anything you've heard in the last few weeks that's made you more favorable or less favorable on Mitt Romney?', 51% said what they've heard has made them less favorable."
Appearing on CNBC's Squawk Box on Wednesday, NBC News political director Chuck Todd launched into a rant attacking Rasmussen Reports polling: "We spend a lot more money polling than Scott Rasmussen does. We spend a lot more money on quality control....I hate the idea that [NBC] polling, which is rigorously done, has to get compared to what is, in some cases, you know, slop." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Co-host Joe Kernen challenged Todd: "[Rasmussen] was right, though, the last couple of elections." Todd shot back: "He got right at the end. It's what happens in the middle sometimes that seems a little bit – a little bit haywire."
In a stunning omission on Wednesday's NBC Today, brief coverage of a 2007 video of Barack Obama completely ignored the then-Senator praising his controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright as a "great leader, not just in Chicago, but all across the country." The NBC morning show adopted a dismissive attitude toward the video, with co-host Savannah Guthrie leading off the broadcast: "Conservatives circulate a five-year-old video, in a move the Obama campaign calls desperate." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
In the report that followed, chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd further quoted Obama talking points: "In a transparent attempt to change the subject from his comments attacking half of the American people, Mitt Romney's allies re-circulated video of a 2007 event that was open to and extensively covered by the press at the time."
In a report on Tuesday's NBC Today, correspondent Kelly O'Donnell described "awkward stumbles" for Senator Scott Brown and challenger Elizabeth Warren in a Massachusetts senatorial debate on Monday. Brown's supposed stumble was that he "first named an ultra-conservative" Antonin Scalia as an example of "a very good judge" and model Supreme Court justice.
O'Donnell described Warren's stumble being that she named "retiring" Indiana Senator Dick Lugar as a Republican she could work with if elected. In reality, Lugar was defeated by Richard Mourdock in the Republican primary.
On Monday's NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie promoted "a congressional battle in Massachusetts featuring a very familiar name" and wondered, "Could another Kennedy be headed to Congress?" In the report that followed, Capitol Hill correspondent Kelly O'Donnell lamented the end of 65 years of Kennedys in Congress, then proclaimed: "But now a new generation has stepped forward."
In reference to Joseph Kennedy III running for Congress in the Bay State, O'Donnell announced: "In Massachusetts politics, he's no ordinary Joe....Going door to door in the rain Sunday, he bears both a family resemblance and a weighty family legacy." She noted him being "the first of his generation to enter the family trade" and touted his resume as "a Harvard law grad, former assistant D.A., and Peace Corps volunteer."
On Sunday's NBC Meet the Press, BBC America Washington correspondent Katty Kay dismissed the electoral impact of the Obama administration's mishandling of the crisis in the Middle East: "I'm not sure that who said what, when, and when the intelligence came out...I'm not sure that that's going to be a huge issue for voters in the course of this election." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
However, she did bemoan the fact that ongoing chaos in the region may blunt Obama campaign attacks against Mitt Romney: "It does mean that it's harder for the White House to keep focusing on what was a pretty disastrous response from the Romney campaign initially. So it kind of draws a line under that." And what of the "pretty disastrous response" by the President of the United States?
At the top of Sunday's NBC Meet the Press, moderator David Gregory announced Mitt Romney was backed "against the wall" in the presidential race and proceeded to ask both New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Obama advisor David Plouffe: "Is the race over?" [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
After Christie rejected the notion and suggested Romney's performance in the upcoming first debate on Wednesday would reset the campaign, Gregory incredulously replied: "Why isn't it too late to believe that the presidential debates, after you announce your running mate, after you have your own convention including keynoter Chris Christie, that you can restart with the presidential debates?"
***UPDATE*** [October 2, 11:50 ET]: NBCNews.com has apparently taken down the offenisve cartoon series, but it can still be found here (h/t TVNewser).
In a brazen attack on Fox News, NBCNews.com published a 15-image slideshow compiled by the website's political cartoonist Daryl Cagle ripping the cable channel. One cartoon shows a man sitting in a recliner with a remote as Fox News emanates from an elephant's rear end. In another, Fox was again depicted as an elephant, this time with a pile feces behind it labeled "Secret corporate money."
MediaBistro's TVNewser blog caught the sleazy display on the network news site, with writer Alex Weprin observing: "It is somewhat unusual for a news organization to publish such a sloppy item trashing a competitor."
On Friday's NBC Today, special correspondent Tom Brokaw demonstrated the blatant media effort to ignore Obama administration failures surrounding the consulate attack in Libya: "Romney turned out to give the President air cover. There are serious questions about what happened in Libya and the absence of security and what is our Middle East policy, but Romney's missteps really have given the President more camouflage than he would have expected." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Brokaw lamely attempting to blame Mitt Romney for the failure of the media to ask tough national security questions of Obama echoed a recent revealing statement by CBS News political director John Dickerson, who declared that it was solely Romney's responsibility to hold the President to account over Libya because the media would not.
Leading off Wednesday's NBC Nightly News, fill-in anchor Savannah Guthrie declared the presidential race in one key battleground state all but over: "Tonight, both candidates are in Ohio as a spate of new polls shows the all-important bellwether may be slipping away for the Republican challenger."
In the report that followed, correspondent Ron Allen reiterated that "new polls show Ohio slipping away" from Romney and quickly asserted the cause: "Romney down by ten points in a new poll out this morning, and nearly that in another recent poll, after that video of Romney talking disparagingly about the 47% who pay no income tax."
At the top of Tuesday's NBC Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams framed President Obama's address to the United Nations as him getting tough on Iranian nuclear ambitions: "Drawing the line. The President today with a strong new warning to Iran, plus what he had to say about the recent violence against Americans."
In the report that followed, chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd touted that Obama "appeared to draw a real line in the sand on Iran's effort to build nuclear weapons." Todd then sneered that "the President's strong words weren't enough to satisfy Mitt Romney."
At the end of an interview with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Monday's NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer turned to the subject of climate change and fretted: "We've had a crazy week in this – year in this country of extreme weather. Are you seeing around the world the kind of motivation and will that's necessary to, A, admit there's a problem, and then address the problem?" [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Blair replied in part: "This climate issue is real, and we are very irresponsible for future generations if we don't deal with it and we should recover, I think, a sense of urgency about it." Tossing all objectivity aside, Lauer joined in the advocacy: "I hope we will."
During the Today's Professionals segment on Tuesday's NBC Today, chief medical editor Nancy Snyderman applauded New York City schools handing out morning-after contraception pills to teenage girls without parental consent: "Parents aren't going to like to hear this, but teenagers are having sex....People want to be anti-abortion. If you're anti-abortion you should be anti-pregnancy....the reality is it's smart public health." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Co-host Matt Lauer teed up Snyderman: "Let's remember that schools have been offering condoms for years now. Is this the next logical step, Nancy?" Moments after Snyderman praised the "smart" policy, advertising executive Donny Deutsch chimed in: "To me, if this stops unwanted pregnancies, this is a no-brainer, it's a fantastic idea."
In a surprisingly tough interview with President Obama aired on Tuesday's NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie cited Mitt Romney's criticism that the President has sided with teachers' unions against education reform, to which Obama shot back: "I think Governor Romney and a number of folks try to politicize the issue and do a lot of teacher-bashing."
Guthrie followed up: "Can you really say that teachers' unions aren't slowing the pace of reform?" Obama repeated the anti-Romney talking point: "I just really get frustrated when I hear teacher-bashing as evidence of reform." While Guthrie made some effort to pin down the President, she ultimately allowed him to build up the "teacher-bashing" straw man as he dodged her questions.
On Wednesday's NBC Today, correspondent Michael Isikoff offered a congratulatory puff piece on the man who helped release a hidden camera video of Mitt Romney: "[It] became public as a result of some dogged sleuthing by a partisan political researcher with a very personal interest in the election....James Carter IV, who helped out it, is basking in the afterglow, receiving fresh job offers from liberal bloggers and a high-five e-mail from his grandfather, former President Jimmy Carter." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
The headline on screen throughout the report read: "'Poetic Justice'; Jimmy Carter's Grandson Helped Expose Romney Video." At one point in the segment, Carter gushed: "A lot of my Twitter followers that are supporters have said that this is poetic justice, that a Carter is the one that found this – this video that has given the Romney campaign so much trouble, and I have to say that I definitely agree with that sentiment."

Marina has a tight ass that needs to be trained in this Infernal Restraints episode. The process will be excruciating but it'll be worth it. She has the kind of dedication that's needed to take any amount of pain. But she may soon regret being so committed to satisfying PD.
(click the images above to see a gallery with 16 larger photos from this episode)
For every torment that Marina endures, thinking that it must be the worst PD has to offer, he has another one, just slightly worse, already lined up. Getting her ass flogged seems like it's horrible but once PD begins to cane her feet Marina's longing for the feeling of leather on her ass again. Just as she begins to come to grips with the sharp strikes against her soles he moves her to a chair covered in sharp spikes.
(you can click the images above to see this full episode at the Infernal Restraints site)
Marina endures it all as peacefully as she can. She only screams out when the agony is almost too much to bear. Normally this means she's as quiet as a mouse. Today it means she may go to bed hoarse.
Link to the full episode: Fiddle Fucked

Suriyanelli rape case: Girl sends complaint against P J Kurien to Kottayam, Idukki SPs

- Indian Navy surveillance aircraft crashes in Goa; two officers missing
- Section 66A: 21 individuals whose petitions changed the system
- Government is willing to compromise on land bill: Venkaiah Naidu
- A little reminder: No one in House debated Section 66A, Congress brought it and BJP backed it
Suriyanelli rape victim, who had filed a fresh police complaint against Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman P J Kurien, has now sent letters to Kottayam and Idukki SPs asking them to register her plea.
The victim along with her parents had gone to the Chingavanam police station here to file the complaint on Friday, but it was not registered by the Assistant Sub-Inspector stating that the Station House Officer (SHO) and SI were away at a meeting.
Bhadra Kumari, one of the advocates representing the victim, said that since the complaint had not been registered, they had sent the copies of the complaint through registered post to the Idukki and Kottayam SPs asking them to take further proceedings to register the FIR.
"In case there is no response, we are also planning to approach the High Court," she said.
"When a person lodges a complaint it should be accepted. A crime has to be registered as per provisions of sect 154 of CrPC. It is the duty of SHO to register the crime," advocate Suresh Babu Thomas, who was the Special Public Prosecutor of the rape case in the trial court, said.
When it was pointed out that police had accepted the victim's complaint, he said that was not enough.
"Lot of petitions go to the police station. A crime has to be registered under sect 154 of CrPC. It has to be entered into the General Diary and a number is given and as and when the crime is registered, they have to start investigation," he said.
The letter could take 2-3 days to reach the police officials. On receipt of the copies, the SPs are bound to register the case and probe the crime, he stressed.
"If there is no response from their side to register the crime, the victim can move the High Court seeking a direction to police to register the crime and to treat the petition as first information statement," he said.

"A name dropping blow by blow of average"
Less detail of every person's name, every show, every flight etc. After a while just felt like a long thank you to every person she had ever talked to. And every instance was an "it was amazing." "I was so happy".
It was great to hear the actual author read the book.
Many of the personal stories were insightful and interesting to hear about.
Unlike Bossy Pants by Tina Fey where I laughed through most of the book, Jane Lynch's story was lacking humor. The last few chapters are slogging through every show she was ever on and every person she ever talked to … it was drudgery.
