Reitz Editorial Published in The Detroit News
Responding to allegations made earlier this week
In an editorial titled "Think tank's efforts to discredit union fails" published earlier this week by The Detroit News, MEA President Steve Cook attacked the Mackinac Center's position as an advocate for worker freedom and educational choice in Michigan.
Mackinac Center Executive Vice President Michael Reitz published a rebuttal in The Detroit News on July 31, reminding readers of Cook's pension spiking deal (a story broken earlier this year by Michigan Capitol Confidential) and explaining reasons why teachers might wish to leave the MEA:
…Steve Cook writes that "public school employees have not been treated well by … special interest groups in recent years."
Thousands of Michigan teachers agree, but the group they feel mistreated by is Cook's own union. The MEA is ruining the personal credit scores of the very employees he represents by sending them to collection agencies for exercising their right to opt out of their union. For some who exercised their rights, MEA affiliates published their names in an attempt to publicly shame them and pressure them into paying again.
The full editorial is available at The Detroit News.
July 31 MichiganVotes Weekly Roll Call Report
Bills on school "adequacy," secret corporate welfare, police shootings and more
The House and Senate are out for several weeks. Therefore, this report contains several recently introduced bills of interest.
Senate Bill 291: Authorize wrongful imprisonment compensation
Introduced by Sen. Steve Bieda (D), to authorize payment by the state of civil damages to a person wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he or she did not commit. The damages would be $60,000 for each year of wrongful imprisonment, plus "economic damages" including lost wages, plus reasonable attorney fees. Versions of this bill have been introduced in every legislature since at least 2005. Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
Senate Bill 292: Disclose unfunded liabilities in state budget
Introduced by Sen. John Proos (R), to require the constitutionally required executive budget the governor must submit each year to include an accounting by department of the unfunded liabilities incurred to pay future pension and post-retirement health benefits promised to retired employees (legacy costs). Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
Senate Bill 308: Authorize black "Greek letter organizations" specialty plate
Introduced by Sen. Coleman Young, II (D), to authorize a specialty license plate honoring several African American fraternities and sororities specified in the bill, with the premium revenue going to the United Negro College Fund. Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
Senate Bill 311: Ban new charter schools without "certificate of need"
Introduced by Sen. Hoon-Yung Hopgood (D), to prohibit any new charter schools from opening unless the state Board of Education grants a "certificate of need" as defined in the bill. Among other things this would require consideration of a new charter's "impact on existing public schools" nearby, and impose more rigorous performance and oversight regulations on charter schools and their authorizers (usually state universities). Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
Senate Bill 319: Repeal school "adequacy study" mandate
Introduced by Sen. Mike Shirkey (R), to repeal a law passed as part of the "log-rolling" to get Democratic votes on the since-defeated Proposal 1 tax increase initiative, that requires the state to pay a contractor to study and report on how much money per student is needed to teach public school students sufficiently well to meet state graduation requirements. Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
House Bill 4419: Repeal mandatory minimum sentence for firearms felonies
Introduced by Rep. Kurt Heise (R), to repeal a law that mandates a minimum sentence of two years in prison for a felony firearms conviction, with no chance for parole or probation. Reported from committee, pending on the House floor.
House Bill 4422: Authorize Woodward streetcar property owner subsidies
Introduced by Rep. Andy Schor (D), to authorize "business improvement zone district" subsidies financed by a tax increment financing scheme for property owners near a proposed Woodward Avenue streetcar line in Detroit. This would "capture" from local governments the extra local property tax revenue that (supposedly) results from property value increases generated by the scheme's selective subsidies and other spending, and use the money to repay the debt incurred by spending. Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
House Bill 4428: Require biannual recertification for government employee unions
Introduced by Rep. Gary Glenn (R), to require government employee unions to be recertified by a majority of the employees in a workplace bargaining unit at least once every two years, as determined by a vote with a secret ballot. Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
House Bill 4429: Exempt schools from "prevailing wage" mandate
Introduced by Rep. Gary Glenn (R), to exempt school construction projects from the state "prevailing wage" law, which prohibits awarding contracts to contractors who submit the lowest bid unless the contractor pays "prevailing wages," which are based on union pay scale reports in a particular geographic region. Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
House Bill 4435: Mandate restaurant allergy notices
Introduced by Rep. Peter Lucido (R), to require restaurants to post a notice that is visible to the public and says, "Before placing your order, please inform your server if a person in your party has a food allergy". Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
House Bill 4466: Require detailed police shooting and use-of-force reports
Introduced by Rep. Stephanie Chang (D), to revise the monthly crime reports local police agencies are required to submit to the state police so that they include the number and type of use of force complaints made against officers; the number of shooting incidents involving officers; the disposition of use of force and shooting incident investigations; the racial, ethnic, and gender demographic data of individuals who made use of force complaints and individuals involved in police shooting incidents. Referred to committee, no further action at this time.
House Bill 4475: Require disclosure of corporate "economic development" subsidy recipients
Introduced by Rep. Bill LaVoy (D), to require the Department of Treasury to disclose the names of particular businesses and developers granted subsidies and tax breaks under the Michigan Economic Growth Authority law repealed in 2011, and how much they're getting.
The bill was introduced after it was revealed that these deals have generated $9 billion in unfunded taxpayer liabilities, payable over the next 20 years. Under current law, the identity of these corporate subsidy recipients is kept secret. Referred to committee, no further action at this time.

Wright Discusses Right-to-Work Decision with State Media
Michigan Supreme Court extends right-to-work to state employees
On July 29, the Michigan Supreme Court upheld right-to-work for state employees, ruling that the Michigan Constitution prohibits agency fees for state workers. The Mackinac Center filed an amicus brief in the case, which the court eventually used to come to its decision.
Patrick Wright, vice president for legal affairs at the Mackinac Center, discussed the decision with multiple news outlets in the hours that followed.
"Voluntary unionism is the best idea," said Patrick Wright with the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. "That people should not be forced to pay fees in order to have a job, and so we think this was a right decision."
His interpretation of the ruling is that unions have been collecting dues illegally since 1963.
"We're gonna look into the question of whether or not there's a way to retrieve some of these fees that have been illegally collected over decades."
The full segment is available at the WILX 10 website. Wright also discussed the issue for a segment on Michael Cohen's Capital City Recap on 1320 WILS, available here, and with the Michigan Chronicle.
Additionally, the Washington Examiner quoted Wright on the decision:
"This was an attempt by the UAW to take away the rights of certain workers and force union payments from them, going directly against Michigan law," said Patrick Wright, vice president for legal affairs at the Mackinac Center. "The majority correctly noted that state employees unions have illegally been receiving agency fees from state employees for decades."
The full article is available at the Washington Examiner's website.
Mackinac Center Policy Analyst, Congressman Walberg Discuss Civil Forfeiture
Google Hangout on the topic tonight
Policy Analyst Jarrett Skorup took part in a Google Hangout with Congressman Tim Walberg on the issue of civil asset forfeiture. The event was sponsored by Generation Opportunity, a national network that connects young people "promoting economic opportunity and prosperity."
At the federal level, Walberg has introduced with Sen. Rand Paul and a bipartisan groups of co-sponsors the "Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act." The proposed bill would require a higher burden of proof before property can be forfeited while also changing the "innocent owner defense" away from the government to the property owner. Skorup has an upcoming policy brief about civil forfeiture laws in Michigan and the need for changes. He has testified and written about some reform bills currently going through the legislature.
New White House Report Highlights Occupational Licensing Problems
Unnecessary regulations reduce employment and raise prices
The White House Council of Economic Advisers has released a new report about occupational licensing. It outlines the growth in licensing over the past few decades and argues that this reduces employment, raises prices and lowers wages overall.
The report recommends that states lower or eliminate this barrier to entry by establishing some "best practices."
The executive summary states:
There is evidence that licensing requirements raise the price of goods and services, restrict employment opportunities, and make it more difficult for workers to take their skills across state lines. Too often, policymakers do not carefully weigh these costs and benefits when making decisions about whether or how to regulate a profession through licensing. In some cases, alternative forms of occupational regulation, such as State certification, may offer a better balance between consumer protections and flexibility for workers.
By one estimate, licensing restrictions cost millions of jobs nationwide and raise consumer expenses by over one hundred billion dollars. The stakes involved are high, and to help our economy grow to its full potential we need to create a 21st century regulatory system — one that protects public health and welfare while promoting economic growth, innovation, competition, and job creation.
The authors recommend that licensing regimes directly and measurable protect "legitimate public health and safety concerns," use more voluntary certification, minimize fees and lowering regulatory hurdles. It also suggests setting up an independent state commission that would conduct cost-benefit analyses of proposed new rules and reduce the number of "unnecessary and overly-restrictive licenses."
In Michigan, fortunately, Gov. Rick Snyder has said he won't support any new licensing laws that don't pass similar standards as those listed in this new study. But there are hundreds of mandates currently on the book that burden workers and consumers in Michigan that legislators or an independent commission should look at.
The Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm which has done studies on licensing, has model legislation that would incorporate the suggestions in this study. The bill would eliminate barriers for potential practicioners while still keeping safeguards in place to protect the public when necessary and cost-effective.
Repressive Ride-sharing Regulations Beaten Back in the Big Apple
Similar regulations proposed in Michigan
Until last week New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and city regulators were poised to severely limit New Yorkers' access to ride-sharing services like Uber. Spurred on by lucrative taxi-cartel oligarchs, the regulations would have restricted the number of new Uber drivers to just one percent of the current fleet.
Fortunately, public outcry pressured Mayor de Blasio to abandon the scheme, so for now Uber can continue to meet growing consumer demand in the nation's largest metropolis.
Michigan cities have their own taxi cartels that are also insulated from competition by protectionist rationing schemes. We also have our own local and state politicians willing help the incumbent cartel owners keep their lucrative oligopolies. As in New York, those owners are lobbying for state and local restrictions that would limit Uber here, or shut it out altogether.
But as in Gotham, upstart ride-sharing companies are already operating in several Michigan cities, providing jobs for drivers and lower fares for passengers. Enthusiastic grass-roots supporters have so far beaten back most efforts to restrict this innovative taxi alternative. But without a state law preempting local regulations the future of ride-sharing in Michigan remains up in the air.
The good news is, by a 71 to 39 bipartisan vote, the Michigan House recently passed legislation to do just that: prohibit local protectionists from shutting down ride sharing services (see who voted "yes" and who voted "no"). The bills would also establish a statewide ride-sharing regulatory regime requiring driver background checks, vehicle inspections, specific company disclosures, minimum insurance levels and more. Rep. Tim Kelly (R-Saginaw Township) is leading this charge.
The news from the other side of the state Capitol is less encouraging. Like "progressive" Mayor de Blasio in New York, Republican Senators Rick Jones of Grand Ledge and Dale Zorn of Ida have proposed legislation that could severely restrict ride-sharing. It would impose additional fees and requirements on ride-sharing companies and drivers and explicitly allow local governments to pile on their own regulations. This could easily put the brakes on ride-sharing in Michigan and substantially limit its potential growth.
Ride-sharing technologies are disrupting the car-for-hire industry with their convenience, lower fares and flexible, work-on-your-own-terms opportunities for drivers. If the Senate proposal passes, the public outcry in Michigan might not be as loud as it was in the Big Apple, but legislators should still heed the message: Consumers like ride-sharing and want more of it.
Washington Examiner Quotes Vernuccio on Proposed Labor Reform
Employee Rights Act would increase worker freedom
Bills recently introduced in the U.S. Congress would greatly increase the rights of unionized workers nationally. Known as the Employee Rights Act, the proposed legislation would amend the National Labor Relations Act, ensuring that workers have more opportunities to voice support for or opposition to the union, as well as providing more protections for workers who do not want to contribute to their union's political activity.
The Washington Examiner quoted Mackinac Center Labor Policy Director F. Vincent Vernuccio in an article on the bills:
These would be sweeping protections, said Vincent Vernuccio, a labor lawyer with the conservative Michigan-based Mackinac Center. He compared it to the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, the last major reform of the National Labor Relations Act, the main federal labor law.
"The Employee Right Act is the modern version of Taft-Hartley, a great advancement in rooting out union corruption and protecting worker's rights," Vernuccio said.
The full article is available at the Washington Examiner.
The Fight Over Energy Mandates
Detroit News cites Mackinac Center while covering debate
The Detroit News analyzes the current debate over renewable energy mandates in Michigan. A 2008 energy law eliminated most electricity choice and required 10 percent of the state's energy to come from renewable sources – which in practical terms means windmills. Since the law went into effect, Michigan energy prices have steadily increased and are the highest in the Midwest.
The legislature is debating changes to the law. A plan in the state House would totally eliminate electricity competition while maintaining the 10 percent mandate. A plan in the state Senate would maintain some electricity choice while eliminating the renewable energy mandates.
The News reports:
[R]enewable critics such as the free-market-oriented Mackinac Center for Public Policy argue mandates are effectively subsidies for wind and solar power. If renewable energy costs are decreasing, their producers don't require state quotas to compete, they say.

Excess of Laws Entangle Law-respecting People
A lack of knowledge traps ordinary citizens
Nobody wants to feel like a criminal. In fact, most people want to respect the law, but the bigger government gets, the more laws it writes, and the harder it becomes to not break the law. The Wall Street Journal reports that 1 in 3 Americans is in the FBI's criminal database, which makes it likely that someone you know could be defined as a criminal. You may not feel they are a threat, but the government does. Perhaps your government even considers you to be a criminal.
In Michigan, a lot of things will get you into trouble with the law, such as expanding a parking lot into an area the state deems a wetland or drinking alcohol and being under the age of 21. People in Michigan have been prosecuted for such offenses.
If you are arrested, judges can make it difficult to plead "not guilty." For example, a district judge in Ottawa County insisted on random drug tests and banned out-of-state travel for college students charged with possessing alcohol while under 21. Hundreds of these students have decided it would be easier to pay the $200 fine and plead guilty, not realizing they would now have a criminal record, something they may have to divulge on a school, loan or job application.
Once a person has a criminal record, expunging it is not easy. It requires a separate court action and even that is no guarantee the public won't learn of the arrest. County and other jails post mug shots on the Internet, before the detained person is even charged with a crime. Private companies copy these photos and post them on websites until the individual pays a fee to remove them.
Most of us drive, and when it comes to the traffic code, there is no shortage of laws that can trip up motorists. Many states have installed cameras at traffic lights and on highways, ready to nab drivers for violations, including a rolling right turn at a red light. Michigan has banned the use of cameras for traffic-law enforcement but the Michigan secretary of state will add points to your license if a camera in a state where they are legal charges you with a violation. (How would the secretary of state in Michigan know about your speeding ticket in Florida? States talk with each other, of course.)
Speed limit enforcement and traffic cameras have been little more than a money grab for government and have questionable impact on traffic safety. For example, the safest speed limit, according to traffic engineers, is the speed not exceeded by 85 percent of cars driving under normal traffic conditions. Many speed limits, however, are far lower than that, making it easier for police to pull someone over at any time. Enforcement becomes selective.
Police may want to search a car without a warrant. A surprising number of drivers agree to this, feeling they have nothing to hide. But if more people understood civil asset forfeiture laws, fewer would surrender their rights. If police find cash on you or in your vehicle and suspect it has anything to do with illegal drugs, they can seize it until you prove in court you earned it legitimately. That's right — police can seize your cash and force you to beg for it back, based only on a slight suspicion that you might be involved in some wrongdoing. And you have to prove a negative ("I didn't do anything wrong.")
Civil asset forfeiture laws allow government to seize not just cash, but any property. This can happen before you're ever charged with a crime, or even if you're not charged. Police can freeze bank accounts if they like, and put the burden on citizens to get it back.
Most people give up when confronted with police power, even if it has been used in a questionable manner. Police suspected Tom Williams was running a marijuana dispensary. He was never charged with a crime, but police raided his rural home in the dead of winter and took pretty much everything of value. Police told him if he wanted his property back, he had to come up with $5,000 and take his case to court. He never got his belongings back, nor did he get the chance to defend himself in court, because early this summer, he died.
Few people would describe Williams as a threat to public safety. He was interested in ways to alleviate his pain, and he lived in a state, Michigan, where voters had approved medical marijuana. Because Michigan's broad civil asset forfeiture laws operate with little oversight, his last days were spent fighting government. Unless the public keeps better tabs on those it entrusts with the power of government, more people could end up like Williams, entangled with the law.
So Long Film Subsidies
Other 'economic development' programs should be next
The state will no longer offer new film productions taxpayer money to shoot movies in Michigan. This is an incredible development considering that film incentives passed with only one dissenting vote just seven years ago. Now that policymakers have acknowledged some limits on profligacy in the name of economic development, there are other programs that ought to be reviewed as well.
A few contenders immediately come to mind.
The 21st Century Jobs Fund programs have constantly changed strategies since its creation in 2005. The programs have made early-stage company grants, battery plant subsidies, matching fund grants, incubator assistance, mezzanine financing and others. The state's current programs include developing an "entrepreneurship eco-system."
Results have never met expectations — former Governor Jennifer Granholm mentioned that we'd "be blown away" — and these programs continue to drain state cash.
While those Pure Michigan commercials might instill some sense of state pride among our residents, they represent the state purchasing an entire advertisement campaign for a single industry. The beneficiaries get free marketing, but taxpayers stuck with the bills get no returns.
The Michigan Community Revitalization Program offers grants to real estate development. These projects already involve private money and legislators should be skeptical that giving tax money to develop residential and retail space is an effective way to grow the economy.
The state is no longer offering Michigan Economic Growth Authority credits, but the deals that were made will continue to cost state taxpayers billions. Legislators ought to investigate ways to roll back those liabilities, like revisiting whether these credits should remain refundable. The refundability of these credits when the credits are worth more than the company's tax liability makes these credits a subsidy from other taxpayers.
At its core, the economy is about people working together to meet their wants and needs. The state government sometimes intervenes by taking money from some and giving it to others under the guise that it knows best how to generate greater economic effects. Policymakers acknowledged that this was ineffective for the film industry and should apply that same thought to other areas where the state decides whose money should go where.

UPDATE: OK, maybe the Padres won't trade Heath Bell this offseason
Dec 4, 2010, 11:26 AM EDT
UPDATE: Another source tells Rosenthal that it's "highly unlikely" that the Padres will move Heath Bell this offseason.
Why? Well, folks like Rafael Soriano, Bobby Jenks, Kevin Gregg, Brian Fuentes, Kerry Wood are all available in free agency. The wealth of options will undoubtedly hurt what the Padres could receive in return. There would be some advantage to acquiring Bell this winter in that it wouldn't require a multi-year contract, but there's a good chance that the Padres will be able to find a better deal from a desperate team as the trade deadline approaches next season.
11:05 AM: This isn't a fun day for Padres fans.
With their franchise player Adrian Gonzalez about to be shipped to Boston, a source tells Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com that the Padres will "absolutely" trade Heath Bell.
Bell has a 2.54 ERA over four seasons since joining the Padres and has blossomed into one of the most dominant closers in all of baseball. The 33-year-old earned $4 million through the arbitration process this past season while posting a 1.93 ERA, 47 saves and an 86/28 K/BB ratio over 70 innings.
He figures to make upwards of $6 million in his final year of arbitration this winter, so with Gonzalez about to be traded for a trio of minor leaguers, it doesn't make much sense to have him closing games for a team that is unlikely to compete for the playoffs in 2011.
Rosenthal names the White Sox, Angels, Marlins, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rays as teams that could have interest in Bell. He should be one of the hottest commodities at next week's winter meetings.
- JBerardi - Dec 4, 2010 at 11:22 AM
It's never a sad day when you trade a reliever for, you know, actual baseball players. Nevermind a 33 year old reliever. The Padres can mint a new "proven closer" every year in that park… wash, rinse, trade for young talent, repeat.

Most digital keyboards start at 65 keys, and go up to a full size 88 keys. You have to consider which keyboard would fit best in your home and your budget. A beginning student should get the keyboard before or immediately after beginning lessons, so that they may begin practicing as soon as the lessons commence.
Piano lessons in your home offer a convenient option for learning to play an instrument. 90% of our students take their lessons in their home, and this is a practical and time-saving way to learn the technique of the instrument. Think of all the time you can save by not having to transport your student to a class every week! In-home lessons are structured in the same way as a studio lesson, and in addition, a younger student may feel more comfortable at an in-home lesson, as they are already familiar with the surroundings.
Our teachers create a customized lesson plan for every student. Topics covered during Musika's piano lessons may include, but are not limited to: learning the notes of the piano, how to read music and play piano chord charts, how to play piano by ear, music theory, musicianship skills, and most importantly, how to have fun playing the piano!
Taking piano lessons as an adult is a great way to learn a new skill and have fun at the same time. Our instructors can help you learn from the very basic level if you are a beginner, or if you are an advanced player they can help you refine your skills. Adult lessons will focus on learning the technique of the instrument, including how to read music, chords, and learning repertoire
Piano is a great first instrument for children who have never studied music before. Our instructors specialize in teaching younger children, and will develop an individual lesson plan for your child. The youngest age that we recommend starting piano lessons is age 4. The instructor will be able to teach your child to read music, beginning music theory and musician skills, and how to develop a love for playing the instrument.

Idea for color theme for craft room... I like the color combo of aqua, yellow, and white - maybe for our sun room/nook!
Aqua home office (or craft room) - love the closed cabinets to prevent dust (from HGTV)
Fresh and Clean Home Office Design #interior #decor #homes #house #desk #bookcase #shelves #bookshelves
Cabinets with glass doors are a great alternative to open bookcases. Doors keep dust at bay, and the transparency promotes neatness. You can also give an old cabinet new life with wallpaper. Just apply the paper to the back of the cabinet ~

New office. Definitely. Two of the back bookshelves and a hanging display bar on the middle!!

Washington Hospital union workers authorize strike as negotiations continue
More than 400 service workers at Washington Hospital voted to authorize a strike but will stay on the job as contract talks continue.
The SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania union said its members on Monday night "voted by an overwhelming majority to strike, if they cannot reach a fair contract agreement."
Officials at the 274-bed hospital declined to comment. The nonprofit hospital employs 1,812 people, including those in the union.
Hospital officials and union negotiators have negotiated since early January on a contract to replace one that expires Thursday.
SEIU members work in dietary, housekeeping and other service positions. They planned to hold an information rally at 4 p.m. Wednesday at Alpine Club Lanes in Washington.
The union says the hospital's contract proposals would put health insurance out of reach for many hospital workers, cut wages for dietary and housekeeping workers by $4 a hour, and reduce protections for employees on medical leave.
Karen Gownley, a union spokeswoman, said members would need to vote again before they could walk off the job.
"We do not want to go on strike and will continue negotiating as long as possible," she said.

Robin Thicke Depicts Breakup In 'Get Her Back' Video
Robin Thicke is not letting go of his wife Paula Patton without a fight! The sexy singer, who made us all melt with his new song "Get Her Back," has released a video for the track. It's the latest attempt in his campaign to win back Paula's affections.
In the visual, Robin breaks down their breakup through text messages, and his usually dapper style is gone! Robin looks like a wreck in this video, but he is begging her to come back home. Maybe that means he can't be as clean-cut as he normally is because he needs her to see what a mess he is without her. Just a theory.
The real question is: Paula, are you going back to this man or not?! If you don't want Robin, girl, we know literally thousands of other women who would be happy to help him through the heartbreak.

Daniel Radcliffe learns a lesson on fame from 'Twilight's' Catherine Hardwicke
LONDON - To say that Daniel Radcliffe doesn't have much of an ego is something of an understatement. Considering he's been known as the iconic hero Harry Potter, a.k.a. "the chosen one," since he was 10-years-old, starred in seven of the biggest films in history and seemingly adored by millions, you might think it's all gone to his head. Perhaps it's his natural demeanor or possibly just good upbringing, but Radcliffe would be aghast if anyone treated him as more than just a regular Joe.
Speaking to the press in support of his second to last "Potter" film, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1," Radcliffe made it clear he thinks any fandom he has received is more about the love for J.K. Rowling's young wizard than his own charming personality. Radcliffe says he always realizes that "whoever had been cast as Harry would have been receiving [all this] attention. It's not you. It's an iconic role."
Radcliffe offered up an interesting comparison surrounding another fanatic franchise, "The Twilight Saga." A series that just happens to star "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire's" Robert Pattinson. It turns out Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first film, visited the "Deathly Hallows" set and cemented the actor's theory on how it's Potter who is adored, not Radcliffe.
"We had a really interesting conversation and I was asking, 'How is Rob doing?' And all that and she was saying before Robert had even been cast she went to a reading of the book with Stephanie Meyer," Radcliffe recalls. "And when Meyer said the name, 'Edward Cullen,' the audience went nuts and were screaming and people were so obsessed with that character. So, whoever was going to step into that role was going to have a pretty crazy life for the next few years and I think it's the same with Harry. It doesn't really matter in a way who it is. If you are filling those shoes you are going to get a pretty wild reception."
Fans of Pattinson may disagree, but there is some truth to what the 21-year-old Brit believes. He says screaming fans accost him once or twice a year, but he knows you'd have to "have some mad ego" if you don't realize "this is all a bit weird and crazy."
"I know me and I know I'm not somebody who particularly merits screaming and shouting," Radcliffe says. "There is nothing special about me as opposed to hundreds of thousands of other people out there. So, the fact that people are shouting and screaming at me, the logical thing is that it must be because of the franchise."
Because Radcliffe has dealt with the attention since he was so young he says "It's just something you get used to." Still, he knows he's luckier than some other "celebrities."
"It's interesting, me and Rupert [Grint] were at [the Redding Music Festival] one year. We were getting a lot of people coming up to us being really, really nice," Radcliffe says. "And then I saw, like ten rows in front of us, there was a person with a reality show who was not particular well-liked by the audience and was getting a lot of grief from the people around him. And that's different from being in a pretty globally beloved franchise. It means you have quite a nice place in the minds of most people. I'm certainly lucky to have gotten so famous for something so well liked."
As evidenced by his run on Broadway in "Equus" and his recently wrapped role in the new indie thriller "The Lady in Black" (which he jokes has a fraction of the budget of a "Potter" film), Radcliffe has decided to continue forward as an actor once his "Potter" commitments end. Having started so young, HitFix asked Radcliffe when did he realize this was something he wanted to make a life-long ambition?
"It was on the third film and it was combination of working with Gary Oldman and the direction I was given from Alfonso Cuaron. It sort of gave me more confidence or more insight into what it is to be an actor. Those moments were definitely around that time," Radcliffe says. "I thought, 'I want to work with people like you. I don't want to walk away from this. I don't want this to end and [life] suddenly not be so interesting."
Radcliffe continues, "[It wasn't so much then, but] now I love being on film sets. There is an incredibly comfort level because it's where I've grown up. I know where I am on a film set. I know what to do . I know what everyone is doing. There are very few situations that can arise that I don't know how to react to. And that level of comfort. That is quite confidence inspiring."
Being a veteran of the movie business means Radcliffe has also endured numerous press conferences, interviews, red carpets and TV appearances to promote the series. He has an amazingly candid and realistic approach to dealing with the press. He often knows "particular media outlets" want a slightly negative spin on his experiences or "they have an idea that 'Potter' will have been shackled to me."
"Very few people ask 'Isn't this an amazing opportunity for a young actor?' There are very few young actors who get a chance [like I did when I was] 17 -years-old to play Alan Strang in 'Equus' in the West End. Like that doesn't happen unless you have something behind you that's a big deal," Radcliffe says. "So, 'Potter' for me, is something that has been an amazing opportunity to start a career and learn while I'm doing which is the best way to learn."
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Pt. 1" opens nationwide and in IMAX on Friday.

Comments & conversations
A very alarming talk. The IT-industry used decades to realize the threat from viruses and other attacks on computers. One reason is that the architecture of many basic systems, protocol etc. was designed without attention to security issues. It seems like the GPS system has the same problem. The talk doesn't cover the European Galileo positioning system, but a quick googling suggests taht the issues risen by Todd Humphrey are not adressed in that system either.

Leanne Williams
Professor (Research) of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories and Clinical Translational Neurosciences Incubator)
Current Research and Scholarly Interests The treatment of mental health disorders has stood outside of medicine as we know it. This problem presents us with an opportunity to better diagnose and treat these disorders. In my lab - the Personalized and Translational Neuroscience Lab - we are redefining mental disorders as "neural circuit disconnection disorders". We integrate brain imaging, physiology and behavior to define personal types of disconnection and then connect these neuroscience insights to patients in the real world.
Nolan Williams
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Bio Dr. Williams' life-long interest in the neurosciences has led him to pursue a career in medicine. During medical school, he developed a specific interest in focal brain stimulation for neuropsychiatric illness and sought a combined psychiatry-neurology residency program that would give him excellent clinical exposure to a wide variety of brain stimulation modalities, a built-in research fellowship, and opportunities to work with mentors experienced in neuropsychiatric trial design and implementation. His search kept me at the Medical University of South Carolina where, under the guidance of his mentors, Drs. Mark George and Ziad Nahas, he fostered the skills necessary to become an interventional neuropsychiatrist and physician-scientist. During his residency training, Dr. Williams also had the unique opportunity to complete the Interventional Psychiatry Track that he helped to establish while at MUSC. Dr. Williams published a method for integrating interventional psychiatry into residency and fellowship training, which has become a model system across the country. Through this interventional psychiatry track, Dr. Williams was able to develop clinical rTMS as well as deep brain stimulation programming skillsets. During his research fellowship, he completed a five-year follow-up study of five patients who received epidural cortical stimulation (EpCS) for treatment-resistant depression. He also worked as a Co-I on a study investigating interleaved TMS-BOLD as a tool to probe the neural circuitry affected in Tourette's syndrome.

Clinical Associate Professor, Surgery - Emergency Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Investigating applications of clinician-performed point-of-care ultrasound for emergency and critical care patients.
Sharon E. Williams PhD
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Dr. Williams work focuses primarily on cognitive and emotional recovery of children who have been medically compromised. With improved medical treatment and increased survival rates comes the need to better understand the challenges that patients face following a life threatening illness or injury. Advances in medical technology have opened the door to a better understanding of cognitive development and the recovery or deterioration process over time. Currently, Dr. Williams is examining the neuropsychological impact of treatment for children who have undergone a bone marrow transplant (BMT). The existence of cognitive deficits in this population intellectual and academic functioning, memory impairment, visual motor difficulties, problems with attention, concentration and executive functioning - has been in question over the years with research supporting both perspectives. Clinical experience and patient report, however, support the hypothesis that cognitive difficulties exist. New technologies such as imaging, used in concert with established neuropsychological measurement, offer great promise in expanding our understanding of the impact of these treatments and ultimately, improving outcome. Dr. Williams is conducting a NIH funded study examining neuropsychological functioning, imaging and genetic data. Additionally, Dr. Williams has studied children with traumatic brain injuries and continues to see these children in her clinical practice.
