I honestly can't think of a modestly budgeted film that has received more online promotion than Spring Breakers, and really mostly just by slowly leaking out more and more hot bikini pictures of its four co-starlets, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens, and Rachel Korine. It's really kind of genius. I don't know anybody who hasn't heard of Spring Breakers, let alone isn't dying to see it, without the filmmakers having to spend one dollar of advertising. Such is the power of the sextastic.
Our belusted young Latina diva Selena Gomez heads up the latest and greatest rounds of promo images for the film; the fine young thing in her little blue bikini, and some shots with her cast-mates that have me once again how I will live to see the opening of this movie. Sure, it may not be a great movie, and, sure, these girls do not get nekkid, but, you've gone to see films on flimsier reasons for excitement before. Spring Breakers bikini hotness is not the least bit flimsy. Enjoy.

Professional wrestling career[edit]
Early career (1982–1990)[edit]
Smothers started his career in the Memphis promotion on Saturday morning TV. Steve Armstrong and Tracy Smothers started teaming as The Southern Boys in Florida Championship Wrestling in 1987 where they feuded with The New Breed. They moved on to Southeast Championship Wrestling where they feuded with The Stud Stable. In 1989, he won the CWF Tag Team Championship in the newly renamed Continental Wrestling Federation. While in Continental, Smothers wrestled an unmuzzled bear that was announced as 550 lbs; Tracy took the bear to the mat several times.[1]
World Championship Wrestling (1990–1992)[edit]
Smothers and Armstrong competed in World Championship Wrestling for a number of years and were known as the Southern Boys and later the Young Pistols upon turning heel. Smothers and Armstrong had a long feud with The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin). Smothers' last major appearance for WCW was on January 21, 1992 at Clash of the Champions, as he teamed with Terry Taylor in a loss to Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Brian Pillman.
Smoky Mountain Wrestling (1992–1995)[edit]
Smothers achieved his greatest singles success in Jim Cornette's Smoky Mountain Wrestling promotion which was based out of Knoxville, Tennessee. Between 1992 and 1995, "The Wild Eyed Southern Boy," competed as a babyface for SMW and won the Heavyweight title twice, the tag team titles once (with "Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony, known as the "T.H.U.G.'S"), and the "Beat the Champ" TV title on three separate occasions. Smothers had notable feuds during this time against "Prime Time" Brian Lee, Chris Candido, Tony Anthony, The Heavenly Bodies, and The Gangstas. He also competed as a heel in the United States Wrestling Association during the SMW vs. USWA feud in 1995.
United States Wrestling Association (1995–1996)[edit]
After SMW folded, Smothers continued to work for the USWA (and the WWF). Smothers at one pointed even joined the USWA branch of the Nation of Domination, changing his name to Shaquille Ali (a take off of NBA star Shaquille O'Neal and legendary boxer Muhammad Ali).
World Wrestling Federation (1995–1998)[edit]
Before SMW folded in late 1995, Smothers began wrestling in the summer of that year as Freddie Joe Floyd in the WWF as a babyface jobber to various up and comers, most notably Hunter Hearst-Helmsley and Stone Cold Steve Austin. His only meaningful win under the Floyd gimmick was an upset of Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw in his debut, which resulted in Bradshaw beating Floyd in a subsequent rematch. He also scored a count out win over Triple H, thanks to Mr. Perfect distracting Helmsley. His entire gimmick was a rib on Gerald Brisco and Jack Brisco, as they both came from Bowlegs, Oklahoma (the same home town Freddie Joe Floyd was billed as being from). Jack Brisco's real name is Fred Joe Brisco, and Gerald's full name is Floyd Gerald Brisco.
Extreme Championship Wrestling (1997–2000)[edit]
Later in his career he joined Extreme Championship Wrestling as "The Main Man" Tracy Smothers (where he was often mocked by the crowd with chants of "Freddy Joe!!" regarding his WWF stint) and was part of the Full Blooded Italians (F.B.I.). He was most notably remembered for doing a goofy dance, that ECW announcer Joey Styles often commented on by saying "what the hell is with that awful dance." The FBI during this time was mostly a comedy heel tag team, which also featured Little Guido, "The Big Don" Tommy Rich, and (briefly) the "Italian Stallion" John T. Smith. Smothers, long associated with being a stereotypical southern wrestler, was billed as being from "Nashville, Italy" or "Southern Italy" during this time.
Smothers wrestled at both of the June 2005 ECW reunion shows, defeating The Blue Meanie at Hardcore Homecoming with the help of J.T. Smith, and accompanying Little Guido to ringside for his match with Yoshihiro Tajiri and Super Crazy at ECW One Night Stand 2005. On June 18, 2005 at a Championship Wrestling event, Smothers challenged WWE employee John "Bradshaw" Layfield to a fight after JBL shot on The Blue Meanie during a brawl at the end of One Night Stand. He also wrestled at all four of the Hardcore Homecoming events.
Independent circuit (2001–present)[edit]
Smothers still competes on a regular basis in various independent promotions throughout the country, although based largely in the south/mid-south/midwest area. He formed a tag team with fellow SMW and ECW alumni Chris Hamrick known as "Southern Comfort" and together they won several tag team championships on the indy circuit.
In late 2005 and early 2006, Smothers worked a full-time schedule at various independent promotions in Tennessee and around the midwest and eastern United States. He also toured the United Kingdom and teaming with Chris Hamrick on One Pro Wrestling shows as 'Southern Comfort', where they competed in a tag team ladder match for the Tag Team Championship against Team SHAG (Darren Burridge and Colt Cabana) and Jonny Storm and Jody Fleisch, eventually losing to Team SHAG.
On February 25, 2007 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Smothers defeated Corporal Robinson to win the Pro Wrestling Unplugged Hardcore Championship.
Smothers was the Cleveland All Pro Wrestling heavyweight champion until he was defeated by the Blue Meanie on June 3, 2007.
Smothers also shows up in Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South wrestling from time to time. Most Recently beating the legendary Ricky Morton from The Rock 'n' Roll Express on July 22 at Gory Days 3 in Sellersburg, Indiana.
On October 19, 2008 in Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South's Double Death Tag Team Tournament, Smothers teamed with Corporal Robinson to face Cult Fiction's Vulgar Display of Power, Brain Damage and Deranged managed by Halfbreed Billy Gram. Smother's turned on his partner and joined Cult Fiction.
Juggalo Championship Wrestling (2007–present)[edit]
Tracy Smothers debuted in Juggalo Championship Wrestling by cutting a series of promos in which he insulted the company, the owners (Insane Clown Posse), and the Juggalo fanbase.[2] Tracy quickly became the company's main villain by defeating much of their roster and ending most of his matches by choking out his opponents.[2] He attacked hero 2 Tuff Tony in the sixth episode of the internet wrestling show SlamTV!, causing Tony to be knocked out of action for several weeks.[2] Per storyline, Smothers was arrested just days before Tony's return on the eighth episode, leaving Tony with no way to seek revenge.[2] At Bloodymania, Smothers lost to Ron Killings.[3]
Tracy and 2 Tuff Tony continued their rivalry into season two. In the first episode, both men faced off in a match which saw Tracy win after a fast count by the referee, who was later revealed as Tracy's illegitimate daughter, Isabella.[4] Two weeks later, Tracy caught Isabella listening to Boondox, the rapper who sings 2 Tuff Tony's entrance music.[5] The following week, 2 Tuff Tony attacked Tracy after his match. Tracy later caught Isabella engaging in sexual actions with Boondox, through storyline, and assaulted him.[6] Tracy and Isabella Smothers were then scheduled face Boondox and 2 Tuff Tony at Bloodymania II.[7] However, Isabella was replaced by Bull Pain after she injured her leg, and Smothers and Pain lost to Tony and Boondox.
At Flashlight Wrestling: Legends and Loonies, Tracy was defeated by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.[8] The following night at Bloodymania IV, he lost to Booker T, who was accompanied by Boondox.[8]
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2010)[edit]
On August 8, 2010, Smothers took part in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's ECW reunion show, Hardcore Justice, where he, Little Guido and Tony Luke defeated Kid Kash, Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger in a six man tag team match.[9] On the following edition of Impact!, the ECW alumni, known collectively as Extreme, Version 2.0 (EV 2.0), were assaulted by A.J. Styles, Kazarian, Robert Roode, James Storm, Douglas Williams and Matt Morgan of Ric Flair's Fourtune stable, who thought they didn't deserve to be in TNA.[10][11] The following week TNA president Dixie Carter gave each member of EV 2.0 TNA contracts in order for them to settle their score with Fourtune.[12]

Arizona State gets by Stanford 76-64
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — After an empty-handed trip to Colorado and Utah, Arizona State needed to bounce back with just four games left to impress the selection committee.
A return to the style that put the Sun Devils in the thick of the Pac-12 race — and in consideration for the field of 68 in March — helped Arizona State rebound from back-to-back losses.
Jahii Carson scored 26 points — 23 in the second half — and Arizona State held off Stanford 76-64 Wednesday night, snapping the Cardinal's three-game winning streak.
"I think we got back to playing our style of basketball, which is up tempo," said Carson, the fifth-leading scorer in the Pac-12. "When we played Colorado and Utah, we didn't have very many fast-break points, which doesn't help fuel our offense. Tonight we got out and played great defense, got rebounds and got out in transition and whenever we do that, we are tough to beat."
With the win, the Sun Devils (20-8, 9-6 Pac-12) move into a four-way tie for third in the Pac-12 with three games to play. California, after its loss earlier Wednesday to No. 3 Arizona, Stanford and Colorado are all 9-6 in conference play.
"We definitely knew it was a must win game," Carson said. "We tried to knock the pressure off of our backs but just going out there and have fun."
The Cardinal, which came into the game committing the second-fewest turnovers in the conference, turned the ball over on its first three possessions, allowing the Sun Devils to score on each to take an 8-0 lead. Stanford ended up with 10 first-half turnovers that led to 17 Arizona State points. Stanford finished with 15 turnovers.
"It's a tough loss for us," said Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins. "We didn't value the basketball. We turned it over too many times and that was a big factor in us not playing as well as we needed to."
Jermaine Marshall added 16 points, including 12 during a key 10-minute stretch of the first half, as Arizona State opened up a 10-point lead and never looked back.
"I thought our guys did a really good job of zeroing in, focusing and playing with great purpose on defense," Arizona State coach Herb Sendek.
Anthony Brown led Stanford (18-9, 9-6) with 21 points and Chasson Randle made 6 of 9 shots in the first half, but only scored two points in the second half, finishing with 17 points before fouling out with 7:11 left.
"We had a real tough start, turned the ball over 10 times in the first half, which is not the recipe for winning," Brown said. "Our defense just wasn't there tonight, carried over to our offense, turnovers. They played harder than us in the first 20 minutes. We picked it up for a small stretch but by that time it was too late."
The Cardinal never got closer than nine in the second half.
"I think our guys sensed the importance of the game tonight and I thought they were really connected on both ends of the floor," Sendek said.

The Olympian "Divorce file of lobbyist with ties to Cantwell to be unsealed"
A judge has ruled that most files in the divorce case of a lobbyist with close ties to Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., must be open to the public, and court officials said that could happen as early as Dec. 1.Just in time for the election!
and if you missed the excitement when the file was (erroneously, apparently) unsealed at my request in September, the most interesting bits are here, here and here.
hat tip: several readers.Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at November 22, 2006 10:44 AM | Email This
Perhaps the Court must list exactly what financial records they have that they will not unseal....and why.
These financial records are likely the most important documents if accountability and justice is to be served.
The rest of the stuff is probably mostly tabloid material and not relevant to the IRS or his ex-wife's attorney.
Let's see what they release....and what hasn't been released.
Good luck former Mrs. Dotzauer.
In this case the public issue is Maria's character - like Newt and his affair and marital mitosis and it is one factor to consider. On the left they apparently have no problem with "the other woman" being "involved" the week before marriage - Republicans are different.
But more than all of that - it's personal so not necessarily relevent - what does deserve a forthright answer from Senator Cantwell and no "personal v. public life" dodge: why did SHE make this a public matter by: 1)Having a guy like this so "intimately" involved with her campaign and ongoing contact as an advisor and lobbyist and 2) loaning the money and fraudulently manipulating payments from her CAMPAIGN FUNDS for services so that Dotzauer could avoid court ordered financial obligations supporting his Ex-wife and child? She was essentially enabling a d.e.a.d-beat dad" - OFFICIALLY - as a matter of policy within her campaign. Is this her official position with respect to women and single moms?
That is a VERY public issue that she can speak both officially and personally to and no one in the local media thinks it's important to answer.
It's a testament to the intellectual integrity, honesty, balance and diversity of the "journalists" in this area that are so pious, imperious and condescending about their "profession". The emperor has no clothes...Posted by: Stan on November 22, 2006 12:45 PM
However, if Cantwell knowingly abetted a 'deadbeat' dad, that is another story, just like you say. If true, this is worse than any 'nannygate' we have seen in the past in the Clinton nominations. I would even say this is potentially more damning.Posted by: swatter on November 22, 2006 01:49 PM
Yeah, for the R's, it's the guy who gets all of the sex that he wants. Ds are more egalitarian. BTW, Newt had a federally-salaried girlfriend the entire time he was carping about Monica. We all know now that he seethed with jealous rage upon learning that Clinton didn't have to pay for Monica-- the other big difference between R and D sex scandals!Posted by: Paddy Mac on November 22, 2006 11:13 PM
She had security escort him out every time.Posted by: Andy on November 23, 2006 05:49 AM
Yeah, it might cost her the 2006 election.
"Dotzauer is a looooooser.
At the very least, Cantwell is an enabler."
That you for admitting this is NOT about Senator Cantwell. She might come in for some (manufactured) guilt-by-association, but that's it. Which is why SP's desperate, last-minute, panty-sniffing raid against Senator Cantwell completely failed.
"Woman will be outraged at Cantwell for this."
Who is this woman? Can you give her name? Is she the same one who refused to support Bill after Monica? (Remember all the lecturing from male right-wingers, when female liberals refused to support impeachment? That's twice as far as this panty raid will go.) Republican Congressmen are getting hauled out of office in chains, their new Minority Leader was long ago caught on tape swindling our House's Ethics Committee, and this is the biggest "scandal" you can cite in return. How pathetic. Right-wing standards for everything continue their irreversible decline.Posted by: Paddy Mac on November 23, 2006 03:49 PM
Nationally Dem's are going to implode, they cannot help themselves. The Washington State Dem's are going to finally go too far this session as well, State Income Tax anyone?Posted by: Smokie on November 23, 2006 06:47 PM
There is no way that the aggressive pursuit of Republican sexual scandals, or near scandals, as with Jack Ryan in Illinois, Jim West in Spokane or even Rick White here can be squared with the kid gloves treatment provided Maria except to recognize that liberal reporters don't want their investigations to cause D political losses (though they'd rejoice if they could harm the Rs). OK, so what else is new.
Here, Maria's affair with Dotzauer caused severe damage to the wife, as has been acknowledged by Dotzauer's ex, and such conduct can and should affect people's opinion of her (Maria). Sure many people make mistakes, but Maria's conduct was callous in the extreme and deserved coverage on that basis alone. In addition, Maria's conduct here is consistent with previously reported behaviour by her towards others, including her staff. In other words, we are entitled to know that our Senator is a creep and a narcicist. But, the Times is determined to hide this information from us.
In the end, this is a story about a newspaper, the Times, who compromised their journalistic principles for politics. Nothing more, nothing less.Posted by: Bottom Line on November 24, 2006 07:14 AM
They tell me "why should we be interested in Maria doinking a guy a month before he is married".
Of course, this is by a SoCal educated MAC user......
This is not the only irregularity in the corrupt SnoCo court system, and the AOC up there.
But, the MSM doesn't give a rip.Posted by: The Geezer on November 24, 2006 07:31 AM
Remember how he campagined as a family man, implying that a single woman shouldn't do Congressional work? Remember how he divorced his wife a few years later, and became a lobbyist? There's a reason we castigate such hypocritical posings, and we should do it more often. IF Senator Cantwell had made a big deal about the purity of her private life, THEN it might be relevant to consider her private life.Posted by: Paddy Mac on November 24, 2006 02:10 PM
Your attempt at rationalizing Cantwell's conduct is notably weak.
Maria has promoted herself as a woman's candidate, sharing the concerns of her fellow women, supposedly, while also campaigning as a person free of lobbyist influence. That she chose to callously destroy another woman's marriage is every bit as relevant as anything White ever did. That she did so with a lobbyist to whom she has directed millions makes it even more egregious and worthy of media scrutiny. Of course that won't matter to the legions of D hypocrits willing to cover for her (including in the news rooms apparently).
If you have even a single example of her saying, "vote for me because of my spotless private life," or anything reasonably similar, please cite it. That's what Rick White said when he ran against her in 1994, and before his duped neighbors could end his brief time in Congress, he'd divorced his wife. We're now to criticize her because she failed to meet his false standards?
"...That she chose to callously destroy another woman's marriage is every bit as relevant as anything White ever did."
You've really got to stop taking SP's word on anything. Please compare SP's six months' of commentary on the case of Borders et. al. against Judge Bridges' ruling. The number of agreements-- zero-- is the level of credibility that SP has on interpreting court records.
Anyway, the election has ended, this panty raid has failed, and you guys are about to see a blizzard of Congressional investigations into ineptitude, cronyism, and corruption of our government. Senator Cantwell has proven expertise in stopping Enron's attempted looting of Snohomish PUD; her investigative skills will unconver much more such sleaze and filth in the next two years, and nothing you say about her private life will stop her.Posted by: Paddy Mac on November 24, 2006 03:48 PM
You didn't address the fact that Cantwell made it public by using her Campaign funds for personal relationships and manipulating the payments so as to enable Dotzauer to avoid support payments to his wife and daughter.
Also not addressed: the conflict of this relationship (ongoing becasuse he hasn't paid the money back) with his lobbying efforts with her office.
Culture of corruption and the Dems: Murtha - Abscam - Majority Leader candidate / Jefferson (La) "cold cash" / Torricelli (NJ) "wanna buy a watch" / Alcee Hastings bribe-taking impeached judge up for Comm Chm. -- oh yeah - real clean.
But you keep chanting the mantra (similar to Orwell's characters in Animal Farm)... "Dems good / Repubs bad" it seems to be all the complexity you are able to handle and it makes life manageable for you.Posted by: Stan on November 24, 2006 04:57 PM
I don't recognize SP's assertions as 'facts'.
"Culture of corruption..."
That phrase really annoys you guys, doesn't it? Especially since it helped us win the recent elections, big-time.
"Culture of corruption and the Dems: Murtha - Abscam - Majority Leader candidate / Jefferson (La) "cold cash" / Torricelli (NJ) "wanna buy a watch" / Alcee Hastings bribe-taking impeached judge up for Comm Chm. --
oh yeah - real clean."
Murtha was caught on tape REFUSING a bribe. (Too bad Ney didn't think to 'just say no', eh?) Hastings was acquitted. Jefferson faces a run-off election, so you can contribute to his opponent if you like. Meanwhile, two Republican Representatives have pled guilty to multiple felonies in open courts, the Speaker of our House is under investigation for taking bribes, the former head of our White House's procurement office will receive sentencing for his felony convictions, and you give us the 'news' that a politician from New Jersey or Louisiana might be corrupt. Keep clutching at those straws, boys; we'll toss you an anvil soon enough.Posted by: Paddy Mac on November 24, 2006 06:44 PM
Ignore SP, look at the PDC's you ninny. Your sainted Sen. Cantwell hired and continues to interact with a beat lobbyist campaign advisor and used her campaign funds to loan money to the guy. Facts are stubborn things but not so stubborn as a Dem-lover that refuses to acknowledge them.
Hastings acquitted? Once when the key witness refused to testify (and was jailed for said refusal). But, was impeached by Dem controlled House (413-3 voting for impeachment) - Tried, convicted and removed by the Senate, his appeals tossed by SCOTUS. Done deal. Oh yeah, OJ was acquitted too...
Now I understand Paddy Mac - interested in canards, deception but not in actually engaging the issue. Fine, deal in half-truths and misleadling and no one can belive anything you say. I thought you were serious but I see you're not.Posted by: Stan on November 24, 2006 09:01 PM
Politics in America has boiled down to crucifying the party in power, keeping them on the defensive. "Throw the bums out" is a vicious cycle that seems to be accelerating to the detriment of the American public. Real problems are not dealt with....plenty of blame to go around there.....don't you think?Posted by: aaargh on November 24, 2006 09:29 PM
I never claimed she was a saint. (That false claim is one which deluded Bible-bangers make for their favored candidates. No matter how many politicans prove it false, they're always willing to extend it to the next claimant. How gullible!) I claimed that she acted in our interest, when she stopped the criminal entity known as Enron from raping Snohomish PUD. Upcoming Congressional testimony will reveal many more such dishonest operators, each having Presidential (or previous Congressional) blessing for rapacious deeds. Get used to it.
"People like Hastings are insufferable." Yeah, only a criminal could have appointed him to head our House's Ethics Committee-- whoops, wrong Hastings. Well, neither Rep. Hastings has been convicted of any felony. Quite a high recommendation that, but compared to former Rep. Ney, it's quite an honor. (Freedom fries, anyone?)
If you're so interested in revealing divorce-court testimony, how about cases from the Freshman Class of 1994, which had the highest divorce rate in Congressional history? (Any bets on whether the all-Democrat Class of 2006 will equal that dismal record?)
The Speaker elected by the Freshman Class of 1994 has never unsealed his own testimony from his second divorce, wherein his second ex-wife's attorney asked him, "Do you believe that you have conducted your private life in this marriage in accordance with the concept of 'family values' you have esposed politically and professionally?" Remember, lying under oath is an unpardonable crime to right-wing Republicans!
You really need to tone down the spin and start using your noggin.
You seem to discount Stefan's eyewitness report of the contents of depositions contained in Dotzauer's divorce file by questioning Stefan's veracity in a reference to the gubenatorial litigation. More about the litigation later, but first the contents of the divorce depositions.
If you had been paying more attention to the facts rather than covering for Cantwell you would have perhaps noted that nobody in Cantwell or Dotzauer's camp has denied Stefan's eyewitness account, a point that is very meaningful for professional investigators given that Dotzauer could release the relevant documents at any time (especially since his ex desires it) and expose Stefan as a liar IF Stefan was lying. Stefan isn't lying of course, which is why Dotzauer pushed so hard to hide the facts that further confirm Stefan's eyewitness account.
Regarding the gubenatorial litigation. Stefan repeatedly exposed felon and voting discrepancies that were all confirmed by judge Bridges in his decision (you really need to read the transcripts of his Bridges statement delivered from the bench). Stefan also was first to push on the fact that the reconciliation hadn't been done properly. As it turns out, we learned at trial that the reconciliation numbers had been fabricated from thin air by Nicole Way as she testified under oath. Bridges, however, advanced the then novel legal theory that fraud done for the purposes of covering one's incompetence did not require tossing an election as would fraud pursued for other purposes (he found that Way's fabrication of reconciliation numbers was not fraud -- by the way don't try this approach with the IRS). Lawyers all over the state are still shaking their heads at that one, but nevertheless, the trial did nothing but establish Stefan's credibility. Remember, it was Logan's operation who went to enormous lengths to cover up the fact that Way had simply made up numbers on her reconciliation report (see testimony of Logan before the King Co. Council in response to questions from Hammond and Dunn).Posted by: Bottom Line on November 25, 2006 09:40 AM
If anyone honestly believes that any of this indicates a violation of campaign-finanace laws by Sen. Cantwell, please take it to the FEC. Short of that, we'll assume this is just a cheap effort at smearing her, using one of her acquaintances for degrading politics of personal destruction. One of the nastiest traits of modern right-wingers is their belief that they can attack anyone related to their target, since destroying their target is the highest possible 'virtue'. Well, you cannot sniff her panties this time, boys, so stop beating on her supporters for revenge.Posted by: Paddy Mac on November 26, 2006 02:20 PM
Of course, we all know how those felons voted: for Rossi and Bennett, the losers of the 2004 gubernatorial election. Therefore, the issue of felons voting had no effect on the election's outcome.
Thank you for mentioning Judge Bridges' ruling, even if you did not quote from any of it yourself. Here's my favorite excerpt:
"...The Secretary of State's Office received no information from any of the state's 39 counties that any election worker either removed ballots or added ballots. Specifically with reference to King County, there is no evidence that the significant errors which occurred resulted from intentional misconduct or someone's desire to manipulate the election. There is no evidence that anybody associated with any of the candidates in the governor's race had anything to do with causing the errors. There is no evidence that has been produced in this court to suggest that errors resulted from partisan bias... the various polling sites across the State were populated by inspectors, judges, Accuvote judges, observers, attorneys and the media. No testimony has been placed before the Court to suggest fraud or intentional misconduct. Election officials attempted to perform their responsibilities in a fair and impartial manner. There is no evidence before the court to question ballot security as to those ballots actually counted."
Well, that was unequivocal on the subject of fraud. Any questions?
".... Stefan also was first to push on the fact that the reconciliation hadn't been done properly. As it turns out, we learned at trial that the reconciliation numbers had been fabricated from thin air by Nicole Way as she testified under oath. Bridges, however, advanced the then novel legal theory that fraud done for the purposes of covering one's incompetence did not require tossing an election as would fraud pursued for other purposes (he found that Way's fabrication of reconciliation numbers was not fraud -- by the way don't try this approach with the IRS)..."
Since the IRS will not rely on Washington State's elections laws in their work, I wonder why you'd bother to drag them into this discussion. Judge Bridges also noted the irrelevancy of Ms. Way's work to the outcome of the election, but I leave that to you to quote, since you really need to read his ruling yourself.
"...Lawyers all over the state are still shaking their heads at that one, but nevertheless, the trial did nothing but establish Stefan's credibility."
Please cite a statement from any lawyer in this state, as to why Judge Bridges' ruling was incorrect. (You might wish to avoid attorneys for the plaintiffs, who have an obvious bias.)
"...Remember, it was Logan's operation who went to enormous lengths to cover up the fact that Way had simply made up numbers on her reconciliation report (see testimony of Logan before the King Co. Council in response to questions from Hammond and Dunn)."
Actually, Logan admitted it. As Judge Bridges noted, Ms. Way's actions did not constitute fraud, as defined by the statute under which the plaintiffs had sued. Your egregiously expansive definition of fraud might allow a consumer to demand felony prosecution of a grocery clerk, for giving the wrong number of pennies in change.
Since your paragraph consists entirely of a claim that Judge Bridges did not agree with Sound Politics, I will accept your statement as proof of my point: Sound Politics should not be given the benefit of the doubt when making claims about elections laws. Thank you for your support.Posted by: Paddy Mac on November 26, 2006 09:32 PM
So what,in the face of this evidence, is Paddy Mac's response. It is to divert, deny and wander off into irrelevancies as follows:
If anyone honestly believes that any of this indicates a violation of campaign-finanace laws by Sen. Cantwell, please take it to the FEC. Short of that, we'll assume this is just a cheap effort at smearing her, using one of her acquaintances for degrading politics of personal destruction.
Rather than head down the failed path he previously stode of attacking Stefan (an effort to which he was so thoroughly shot down), Paddy Mac now suggests that Cantwell's deliberate interference in another woman's marriage (she slept with Dotzauer the week of his wedding) has significance only if her affair somehow violated FEC laws. Sorry Paddy, not so. . . The FEC does not need to render a determination on Cantwell's actions for reasonable people to conclude that she is a low life. Cantwell's actions, as confirmed by Stefan and Dotzauer's ex, have already established that. And yes, it is entirely relevant to a true understanding of who she is and what kind of character she posseses, which is increadibly low. A smear would be to publish untrue information. Stefan's information is not only corroborated,it is uncontested. Sorry if that bothers the fantasy you've developed in you mind regarding Cantwell. Perhaps it would not be a good time for you to grow up.
Oh yea, I love that description of Cantwell's lover Dotzauer as an "acquaintance." As I'm sure Angela Dotzauer would say "with acquaintances like Cantwell, who need's enemies." I love the way you lefties seek to minimize the human damage your egotisical secular saints generate in their self-centered wakes.Posted by: Bottom Line on November 28, 2006 01:08 AM
"Fraud in Washington Law Defined
Washington also has identified 9 almost identical elements of the cause of action for fraud. As the court in Pedersen v. Bibioff, 64 Wn. App. 710, 828 P.2d 1113 (1992) wrote at page 723,
To sustain a finding of common law fraud, the trial court in most cases must make findings of fact as to each of the nine elements of fraud. Howell v. Kraft, 10 Wash. App. 266, 517 P.2d 203 (1973). Those elements generally are: (1) a representation of an existing fact, (2) its materiality, (3) its falsity, (4) the speaker's knowledge of its falsity or ignorance of its truth, (5) his intent that it should be acted on by the person to whom it is made, (6) ignorance of its falsity on the part of the person to whom it is made, (7) the latter's reliance on the truth of the representation, (8) his right to rely upon it, and (9) his consequent damage. See Turner v. Enders, 15 Wash .App. 875, 878, 552 P.2d 694 (1976)."
We are discussing fraud at all because Paddy Mac challenged Stefan's veracity in an earlier post wherein Paddy Mac asserted that the gubenatorial race established Stefan a liar wherein I pointed out that, in fact, it establishes the truthfulness of Stefan's many months work, which it does.
Paddy's pathetic hope is that a discussion of several months that centered around Logan and REAL's competence that, as time passed and parties were deposed and rulings issued by the court, established beyond a shadow of a doubt that REALs had been incompetent, can now be reframed as a discussion of whether Nicole Way technically committed fraud under the narrow definition allowed for fraud in Bridge's reading of Washington's election challenge statute.
Remember, the discussion here is about Stefan's veracity -- and whether his work of many months was vindicated by the evidence established at trial. Nicole Way's testimony was uncontroverted: she made up the numbers she put on the ballot reconciliation report. Jenny
Durken begged Bridges in her closing argument to view Way's conduct as incompetence, not fraud, which would have required overturning the election. Bridges refused to overturn the election based on Way's conduct finding instead, as Durken requested, that REALs had been incompetent (exactly what Stefan had been saying for many months and Logan denying). But, Bridges was unrelenting in his denunciation of REALs incompetence -- a fact Paddy Mac tries to hide in his smokescreen regarding the definition of fraud under the election challenge statute. He, and Durken, are thanking God right now that Way's conduct was not evaluated under the common law definition of fraud, wherein her knowing violation of a duty to provide accurate information that was to be relied upon was clearly established. Paddy hopes that the higher bar for fraud Bridges established for election challenges will cause readers of this blog to suppose Logan and REALs conduct to be on the up and up. He even goes so far as to indignantly proclaim that Logan admitted the Way fabrication, significantly omitting that Logan only did so under oath after months of stonewalling and denying in direct questioning by the King County Council and requests for full disclosure from the media.
At the very least, Paddy has shown us the face of Carvillian-spin desperation. Creative in its dishonesty.
BTW - Paddy's indignant request for published condemnations by lawyers of Bridges ruling exposes a real ignorance of legal custom. Lawyers generally don't do that with judges. They save their criticisms for private for many reasons, not the least ethics rules directing them to uphold the public image of the courts.Posted by: Botton Line on November 28, 2006 08:15 AM
"This Court is not in a position to fix the deficiencies in the election process that we heard about in this courtroom over the past nine days. However, the voters of this state are in a position to demand of their executive and legislative bodies that remedial measures be instituted immediately. And clearly, the evidence here suggests that the problems require more than just constructing new buildings and hiring more staff."
"Mr. Logan in his testimony in court and, more particularly, in his deposition testimony referred to the culture he found when he assumed the responsibilities of the Director of Elections in King County. Almost anyone who works in state or local government knows exactly what this culture is. It's inertia. It's selfishness. It's taking our paycheck but not doing the work. It's not caring about either our fellow workers or the public we are supposed to serve. It's not taking responsibility. It's refusing to be held accountable. And so it is the voters who should send the message."
. . .
"The King County Elections Department experienced what have been called deep and significant problems during the 2004 general election and the tabulation that followed. King County used new software for the registration of voters in 2004. In some instances the new software worked. In some instances it was deficient, and in some circumstances different people within the Elections Department had different versions of the DIMS software system which caused accountability reports to be exceedingly difficult to prepare accurately. Ms. Nicole Way assisted in the preparation of the mail ballot report. That report improperly accounted for the number of absentee ballots returned. Ms. Way had expressed concerns to her superiors about the ability of the new software to properly verify the absentee ballot numbers. The problems in King County are associated with and result from a lack of communication, lack of taking responsibility for actions, a lower level of accountability and a difficulty documenting procedures."
Well,I guess making numbers up out of whole cloth might constitute a "difficulty [with] documenting procedures."
Here's what Bridges says about the high hill to be climbed to establish fraud under his reading of the statute, again, as I said before, he wanted direct evidence of intent to throw an election not the more pedestrian act of making numbers out of thin air to cover one's rear end. But, to read into this, as Paddy does, a vindication of REALs, and thus a condemnation of Stefan, is absurd in the extreme:
"The Court concludes that, having neither pled nor disclosed, pursuant to RCW 29A.68.100, fraud cannot -- I'm sorry, pursuant to 29A.68.100, fraud cannot now be claimed and that to the extent that it was claimed, neither the act of fraud nor the causation arising therefrom were proved by the higher burden of proof of clear, cogent and convincing."
To dispense with Paddy's final act of desperation, you might recall his claim that felon voters had been shown to vote for Rossi or Bennett. Here's the facts: of more than 760 felon voters in Gregoire precincts the Ds tracked down a number that they won't disclose and from that universe produced a grand total of 4 who would claim to have voted for someone other than Gregoire. This is the evidence Paddy relies on for his nonsensical claim. The only reliable indication of felon voting patterns comes from an investigation following the Florida recount where it was discovered that approximately 70% of the felon voters in that state were identified as Gore voters. Paddy would have you believe that in WA, a more D leaning state, the felon distribution is significantly different. One wonders, given this spin assertion, why Ds and their allies expend so much effort seeking to restore voting rights for felons . . . oh, right. I forgot, it is selfless idealism. . . LOL.Posted by: Bottom Line on November 28, 2006 09:11 AM
"...has significance only if her affair somehow violated FEC laws. Sorry Paddy, not so. . . The FEC does not need to render a determination on Cantwell's actions for reasonable people to conclude that she is a low life."
The original lame excu-- sorry, reason-- for involving Sen. Cantwell's private life was the allegation that she and this man had some FINANCIAL hanky-panky, something which might violate campaign-finance laws. If you're dropping that allegation-- a very wise move, if you ask me-- then we're reduced to discussions of private character.
I do not care about the private lives of public officials. I judge them upon their performance in public office, and nothing more. I do not care that Adolph Hitler remained faithful to one woman for much of his adult life, or that he ultimately married her. His vegetarianism, his abstinence from alcohol, and his refusal to engage in unmarried sex, do not enter into my judgment of his actions as an elected head of state. His private actions do nothing to mitigate my harsh judgment of his many atrocities.
Now, I understand that others may disagree with me. They may attach positive significance to Rick White's posing in the kitchen of his parents' home, talking about his wife and family, and implying that his private actions made him a better choice for Representative for the First Congressional District of Washington State than the then-incumbent, a single woman named Maria Cantwell. I'm sure every voter who did so attach positive significance to his act then counted Rep. White's subsequent divorce against him. (And I state that with the utmost in withering sarcasm, because I've never seen a self-proclaimed "values voter" ever care about the public failure of private virtue in a "family-values" candidate. Even when said failing involves an uncontrollable lust for boys.)
Occasionally, civic virtue and private licentiousness do collide, and I must care. When house Speaker Newt Gingrich carried on a long affair with Callista Bisek, I did not care that he had done so whilst publishing a book about how great his marriage was. (For any fans of Gingrich's writing, I nominate "Lessons Learned the Hard Way" as Newt's most moral tome.) I did not care that he did so whilst condemning President Clinton's adultery. I did not care about the vast difference in age between the two illicit lovers. I DID care that she was on the payroll of the Congress, a taxpayer-funded organization that he directly supervised. This was a prima facie misuse of public money and a major ethics violation. Given that Speaker Gingrich had already paid the largest ethics fine in the history of his office, I would even argue that his adulterous affair WITH A PAID EMPLOYEE justified his removal from both the Speaker's office, and ordinary Congressional office. (His fellow Republicans did ultimately force him from office, but not for those reasons.)
Likewise, I do not care that Speaker Gingrich's hand-picked successor, Rep. Robert Livingston of Louisiana, engaged in kinky sex outside of marriage. He can engage in whatever consensual behavior he likes, with as many adult partners as he likes, so long as they're not related by blood. I DO care that he engaged in kinky, extramarital sex WITH A LOBBYIST, another grade-A ethics violation. His abrupt resignation, on the floor of our House, was deeply justified.
So, if you're admitting that Senator Cantwell's sexual acts, real or imagined, have broken no laws or public ethics codes, then we'll drop the matter as irrelevant. She may indeed have conducted herself in a manner equivalent to Rep. Henry Hyde, who destroyed a (better) man's marriage via callous adultery with the (real) man's wife-- adultery which, according to cuckolded husband and faithless woman alike, continued for many years, well into Hyde's moralizing career in Congress. (Hyde denies this, to which I snicker gleefully.) Since Rep. Hyde had received numerous accolades from many self-proclaimed conservative values organizations, I conclude that Sen. Cantwell's actions should not bother family-values conservatives. You're free to disagree with the self-proclaimed values crowd if you so wish, but please do not bother me with it.Posted by: Paddy Mac on November 28, 2006 10:42 PM

Documents that show Yahoo opposed the U.S. government's attempts to secure private data -- objections that were overruled -- should be declassified, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has determined. Yahoo says the documents will show that it resisted the government's measures four years ago. The company is one of several undertaking such measures to allay concerns about data sharing with intelligence agencies.

Who Gets Asylum, Who Doesn't And How That May Change
By editor
Originally published on Tue June 4, 2013 2:36 pm
Every year, thousands of immigrants come to the U.S. seeking protection from persecution or violence in their countries. Many groups have a hard time qualifying, based on the legal limits of asylum. New immigration legislation could change the process.

"'I am delighted to bring such an able and experienced campaign professional on board to manage my campaign,' Sharpton said of his new campaign manager, Charles Halloran, Wednesday. 'Charles Halloran will take over my bid for the Democratic nomination by conducting a full audit of our operation while ramping up and refocusing our national grassroots effort. We have already doubled our last quarter's FEC filing for contributions and are securing new fundraising dates daily including the Gala Birthday Celebration October 14 hosted by Russell Simmons, Jay-Z, and P. Diddy at Jay-Z's new club 40/40.'"
"While Halloran is not yet ready to jump in to the campaign full force, he is taking control of the fundraising effort. He says he believes his business savvy will be an asset to a campaign for which business hasn't been so good. He has been focused on the Sharpton Birthday fundraiser, but even if there's a huge turnout, it will be virtually impossible to know whether it means Halloran is a fundraising rock star or if attendees just want to hang out with rap stars."
"Sharpton talked to Playboy.com about Schwarzenegger, Mrs. Sharpton, the war and running mates this week. He also told Playboy that he believes the media is not taking his campaign seriously, and that he will prove a point to the media with the outcome of the February 4 South Carolina primary. (Note: This interview took place before Sharpton lost Kevin Gray, the invaluable South Carolina coordinator.)"
"'Most polls have me in the middle,' Sharpton told Playboy. 'The guys behind me take me seriously, and the guys ahead of me take me seriously because we are gaining momentum. I think [the media] are being dismissive of people on the left in general, particularly people of color. The good news is that because they do that, they are going to wake up shocked when I come in with the vote. I bet a lot of pollsters are going to lose their jobs when we get finished with these primaries.'"
"I asked Sharpton if he thinks some find it impossible to take him seriously in part because of his 'one-liner' approach to the debates. He said, 'I think that when others say something, it's witty. When I say other things it's dismissive. I think that when you look at the fact that I'm in their polls ahead of people like Bob Graham and John Edwards-well financed people. How do you minimize that … when no one can win without the black vote?'"

This organization tends to be okay in some ways. Depending on the local program you volunteer with, some teams might be great with helping with the atheles while others may not. You just have to watch out on which Local Programs you compete on either as a athlete, Unfied Partner, or volunteer as a coach. One of the local programs I competed with at one time (Bowling, Alpine Skiing, and Aquatics) did have not very good volunteers running that program as some of the volunteers in that one local program did not care to help some of the athletes pretty much. However, I did complain to the Section Director in my area about my situation and she was more than willing to help refer me to another local Program that was very willing go above and beyond to help the athletes. To this day, I learned my big lesson in being careful into choosing Special Olympic teams that are big or small. It is very important to connect with the right people who are willing to go beyond and above to help athletes and other volunteers such as a chaperone, coach, or Unfied Partner go into competition such as State Games.

As the parents of a 39 year old man with intellectual disability, we are so grateful for the huge positive impact that Special Olympics Massachusetts (SOMA) has had on our son since he joined at age 8 (now open to 2 year-olds through Young Athletes Program!). Although originally we were told by the doctor that he would be unable to do much beyond sitting and rocking in a corner, he has trained and competed in 15 sports (of SOMA's 27) ranging from track and field, to power-lifting, alpine skiing, equestrian, sailing, and all the "ball"sports.
Through SOMA, he has competed in 3 Special Olympics World Games, including Dublin, Ireland, earning Gold Medals in each.
While the great physical fitness he has gained from his participation in Special Olympics for 31 years is impressive, far more important is the self-confidence and self-esteem he has gained. That confidence has enabled him to become an Eagle Scout, and to earn his driver's license.
While a prime example of the huge impact of this wonderful organization, he is only one of some 13,000 athletes who are continuing to participate and benefit from Special Olympics Massachusetts, all of whom are achieving beyond the expectations of others.

Biblical archaeology conference marks 15th year
The Temple Mount, Egypt's pharaohs, and the Lover's Coin are all topics of discussion at this year's Batchelder Conference on Biblical Archaeology.
The conference is Thursday through Saturday at UNO. It brings scholars from around the world to Omaha to talk about biblical history, politics, and discoveries at UNO's Bethsaida dig site in Israel.
One discussion at this year's Conference is about what's called the "Lover's Coin." It's an ancient coin featuring Cleopatra on one side and Marc Antony on the other. Only a few such coins still exist, and one was found at the Bethsaida dig site last summer.
More information is available at www.unomaha.edu/bethsaida.


text: Black widow spiders can detect a cannibal female from her web Science 08 July 11 by Mark Brown Flickr.com / samuelito5277 Male black widow spiders can detect hungry, cannibalistic females by the chemical and architectural make-up of their webs, ecologists from Arizona State University have found.Black widow spiders (Latrodectus hesperus) got their name thanks to this deadly quirk. The female critters are notorious for finishing off mating with an after-sex-snack -- their male partner.But if they're nourished and well-fed, the female will sometimes let her male mate off the hook. James Chadwick Johnson and his team wanted to find out if the male spiders had the ability to discern whether they would be cannibalised, before hopping into the sack with a potential mate.The ecologist team at Arizona's Johnson Lab kept a handful of females hungry for several weeks, while the other group of female black widows were fed with so many crickets that they almost refused the last few meals. They then plopped bachelor male spiders onto the webs.The male spiders were able to tell the difference as soon as they walked onto the webs. The eight-legged animals can pick up scents through their feet and can sense chemotactile cues in the webs. Web design gives clues too: nourished females make wide webs, while starving ladyspiders make smaller webs with stickier silk.In the majority of cases, the male spiders carried out their hours-long courtship dance more actively while on the web of a well-fed gal, and tried to avoid the telltale signs of a hungry spider's silk."We found that males courted well-fed females significantly more than they did starved females," Johnson writes in the abstract of the study, which is presented in the journal Animal Behavior. "This bias was maintained in the absence of the female when males encountered only cues from female webs." Edited by Duncan Geere Comments Latest on wired.co.uk
