As you are probably aware, the Knox Charter Petition group will now take it to the streets. The group is launching an effort to get the 40,000 signatures needed (times two) after County Commission this week voted against sending the proposed amendments directly to the voters.
UPDATE: I asked Knox County Elections Administrator Greg Mackay "who pays the $80,000 cost of verifying the petitions, taxpayers or the petition organizers?" He said "taxpayers." So the County Commission just voted to charge taxpayers $80,000 to have their voice heard. That's a lot of lobster!
From the Knoxville News Sentinel:
"Anytime a group of commissioners decides to turn down restrictions on nepotism and conflicts of interests, it's disappointing and disheartening," [political consultant Gary] Drinnen said. "It sends a very strong message that the County Commission is interested in business as usual."
According to the article, it will cost the Knox County Election Commission approx. $80,000 to verify the signatures.
I'm not sure I agree with all the proposed changes, but I fail to see what is wrong with simply letting Knox County voters decide.
From the Knox Charter Petition website, here are the proposed changes some members of Knox County Commission do not want before voters:
• Consistency Amendment: Seeks to resolve any provisions of current and future charter amendments that may conflict with other provisions of the charter
• Commission/Employment Amendment: If enacted, would bar Knox County government employees from serving on the Knox County Commission
• Referendum Amendment: Seeks to lower number of signatures required for referendum petitions from 15% of total number of registered Knox County voters to 15% of those who cast a ballot in the last gubernatorial election (Note: this was the only amendment County Commission decided to put before the voters. It does not come in time to help the current petition drive.)
• Nepotism Amendment: Would add a clause to the charter that would expressly prohibit nepotism in the county government's hiring policies
• Inspector General Amendment: Would eliminate the office of Internal Auditor and create the Independent Office of Inspector General
• Restructuring of Executive Branch: Would require mayoral appointment and Commission approval of the County Clerk, Register of Deeds, Trustee, and Property Assessor
• Restructuring of County Commission: Would eliminate eight Commission slots, leaving one for each of the nine districts plus two "at-large" commissioners elected countywide
• Conflict of Interest: Legislative Amendment: Outlines an official, legally binding procedure for county lawmakers to follow in the event of a conflict of interest on a vote
• Conflict of Interest: Administrative Amendment: Outlines an official, legally binding procedure for nonvoting county employees to follow in the event of a conflict of interest
According to Knox Charter Petition, the changes "are the result of several months of the Howard Baker Center for Public Policy's research and the public's input, all part of the Knox County - One Question project." A series of public forums was held and the proposed amendments were citizen-driven through an open process.
We all understand the concept of our representative republic form of government in which legislators make the laws, and the efficiency and order it provides by not having a popular vote on every single issue. The foundation of that law, however, is the Constitution, or in this case the county charter, and there is a longstanding, fundamental principle that The People decide what goes in it.
Some Knox County Commissioners do not seem to get this, and you have to wonder why. Looking at some of the proposed amendments may provide the answer.
I should Amend
I was in rare form when I talked to Rebecca, and I do think it's disheartening that 13 commissioners could not be found to support letting the people vote. However, it should be noted that a majority of commissioners supported that idea. The amendments failed for lack of a 2/3 majority. 13 was needed and most amendments got 12.
The commissioners that supported letting the people vote should be thanked and recognized. In particular Mark Harmon and Mike Hammond ponsored the amendments on Commission, and made excellent comments.
My favorite from Hammond: "Change will not happen from inside the city-county building. I guess it's up to the citizens now."
Yup, many failed by one
Yup, many failed by one vote. And the "no" vote I'm most disappointed in is Elaine Davis's. I expected better things from her.
Gary, contact me offboard about the petition drive. Commission just made me mad enough to take them around my neighborhood.
All but two failed by one vote.
The only two of the six failed amendments that didn't fall by one vote were the inspector general amendment (8-11) and the commission restructuring/district realignment amendment (withdrawn by a count of 17-2).
Of the four that failed by one vote, Greg Lambert was the swing on two of them - the administrative conflict of interest policy and the amendment that would have barred county employees from serving on commission. He passed his vote on both occasions.
Don't know what that's worth, but there it is.
There are some puzzling
There are some puzzling issues here.
I think back to last September when "Knox County One Question" took their proposed Charter Amendments to County Commission. Joe Johnson spoke and gave a great talk that was well received by Commission. But there was no request for Commission to do anything. In the following months there was never a request for Commission to place the Amendments on the ballot. It seemed very odd.
This past January John Schmid came to County Commission as the spokescritter for the new group "Knox Charter Petition" and gave an ultimatum, approve these Charter Amendments OR ELSE. On February 25th Laurens Tullock told County Commission the KCP "would not accept any changes to the Amendments". Again, that seemed very odd.
Why do that? Was this just clumsy Public Relations? Or maybe it just very clever politics? How could so many seemingly smart people make so many mistakes?
The threat was that if Commission did not approve all nine Amendments KCP would put them on two petitions. Five Amendments on the first petition and four Amendments on the second petition. Even more curious was that the two most unpopular Amendments were on different petitions, one for legislative issues and one for executive branch issues.
This separated the two Amendments that most people did not like. "The Mayor King Amendment where the County Mayor appoints the fee offices and Law Director was with the five Amendments. The Feudalism Now Amendment where the number of County Commissioners was reduced was with the four Amendments. This is classic pull through marketing. A Hobson's choice of sorts. You have to take an Amendment you don't like to get the ones you do like.
I kept wondering why would such smart skilled people be so rude and arrogant in front of County Commission? It sometimes looked like they were trying to fail. In retrospect it makes you wonder…
Even more curious was the group from Spokane Washington doing consulting work with KCP. Now there is a petition group from Portland, Oregon.
But what is really puzzling is the push poll in West Knoxville last night about the 2010 Mayoral race, again from a political consulting group in Spokane Washington. More curious still is that one of the major KCP players was listed in the push poll for County Mayor.
This is part of the push poll from last night:
Who would you vote for in 2010 for County Mayor?
Mike Hammond
Tim Hutchison
Mike Lowe
Tim Burchett
Brad Hill
What qualifications matter most?
Business executive who is currently on commission?
Former sheriff that understands Knox County politics and inner workings of Knox County government.
Former Knox County Trustee who understands county financing.
Physical conservative State Senator who has served Tennessee well.
Non-elected official who is a consultant who understands sound business practices and can bring this approach to county government.
"The Mayor King Amendment
"The Mayor King Amendment where the County Mayor appoints the fee offices and Law Director was with the five Amendments. The Feudalism Now Amendment where the number of County Commissioners was reduced was with the four Amendments.
I kept wondering why would such smart skilled people be so rude and arrogant in front of County Commission?
I keep wondering why a "smart skilled person" would make his arguments in such a rude and arrogant way.
Oh, wait....
Citizens get to vote twice on these now...
First, you get to sign the petitions you support and politely decline to sign the ones you disagree with. Then, everyone gets to go to the polls to vote for or against the ones that got the necessary number of signatures. All in all, more difficult, more time consuming, and more expensive, but if some of these make it, it sends a stronger signal to the CC than if they had put them in place themselves.
I presume KCP will be offering a list of when and where to go to sign the petitions?
August is coming. Get Ready.
Consulting Group
I apologize for the confusion on where Citizen's Solutions is located. They are a firm that consults soley on petition drives. They are located somewhere in Washington (Jackson Co. I think). They have consulted on numerous petition drives in different areas of the country. There is no group from Oregon. That was a mistake on our part. Oregon . . .Washington. . .Either way, we have contracted with them to provide logistical support to the petition drive.
This is not out of the ordinary. The wheel tax and the hotel referendums both used outside consultants. They also had much lower standards in terms of required signatures. To have these amendments placed on the ballot, we need 15% of all registered, county voters. The previous standard was 15% of gubernatorial voters. As you could imagine, this is a HUGE difference. Approximately 25,000 more signatures will be required than in previous efforts. To me, the interesting story is about how the standard was changed. It was obviously a power play by somebody to prevent citizen's groups from taking on this sort of effort.
By grouping the petitions into two categories, we are required to get 80,000 signatures. If every member of the currrent steering committee were to collect 1,000 signatures we would have around 90,000 signatures. I fully believe our steering committee will collect tens of thousands of signatures. However, most of the group works full-time. Add other committments, and we are asking these folks to collect 1,000 signatures in a little over 60 days? Hiring a firm, with experience, to supplement our efforts will help ensure the citizen's get a chance to vote on these issues.
The awful downside is that the citizens won't get a chance to vote on the amendments individually, and will have to foot the bill for the election commission to count the signatures.
Is Citizen's Solutions the
Is Citizen's Solutions the group doing the push poll? Is that part of your effort?
just wondering...
If 90 people got 500 signatures twice, in identical petition signature positions, would that save the election committee some time/money? I have volunteered on the KCP website to help get signatures.
I will call to see if
I will call to see if Citizen's Solutions is doing a poll. I highly doubt they are, as my understanding is that they only do work on petition drives. We have not done any polling in several months, nor is Citizen's Solutions involved in any polling for us.
Just curious (silly me for taking the bait), but what you described sounded like a poll that tests positives and negatives for several candidates. .. not a push poll. Am I missing something?
The question about Brad Hill
The question about Brad Hill seemed more favorable than the others. Is it a push poll? Just curious that a poll came out of Washington at the same time the signature group is out of Washington. It was curious to see a KCP name in that special group.
It certainly does sound like
It certainly does sound like its putting a positive spin on Brad. However, it also says that Timmy B has served Tennessee well. That's pretty positive.
Dr. Lyons could correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding of polls is this:
A push poll is typically something along the lines of: "would you still vote for ______ if you knew he had a criminal record that involved
_____". Push polls are typically considered ethically undesireable to say the least. However, it is quite common for polls to test positives and negatives to develop message. For instance, I would assume Bredesen did polls to see if the fact he was from NY would affect opinions.
There is certainly a fine line, but I don't know for sure where that line is located. Dr. Lyons could probably comment more if he's paying attention.
Nonetheless, KCP is not doing any polling. Nor does the group have any interest in who is or is not running for Mayor in 2010.
Push Polls
The purpose of legitimate survey research is to measure public opinion. To do so responses that are obtained must not in any way be a artifact of the instrument used to measure. Everything from question order to question design can introduce bias into the process. Ideally the only "error" in a survey should be sampling error attributable to pure chance in the folks selected to represent a population of interest.
A push poll is not designed to measure public opinion, but to affect it and thus is not survey research, but part of a campaign strategy masquerading as something else. Gary is correct. One great indicator of a push poll is when a person is asked if he or she support candidate X, followed by... "would you still support candidate (or proposition) X if you knew that he/she/it would lead to (fill in negative)."
As someone who has conducted large numbers of surveys for political candidates, organizations, etc. (haven't done any in the last four+ years, given my present position) I want to make it clear that the American Association of Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) considers use of push polls among its members to be unethical and unprofessional. I have never done one and over the years have always advised against using them when asked.
A push poll is not designed
A push poll is not designed to measure public opinion, but to affect it and thus is not survey research,
Is there a term for that kind of poll? A positive push poll? It seemed skewed to one candidate.
Push polls and just bad polls
Is there a term for that kind of poll? A positive push poll? It seemed skewed to one candidate.
Nine, I guess I would have to see / hear the survey to which you refer to comment, However, generally speacking, there are misuses of polls that sorta touch on what you are raising. A push poll is at one end of the spectrum in that it tries to affect attitudes among those who are called - a fundamental misuse of survey research. Some folks want to collect data from a biased instrument, not to affect those called, but to publicize the "results" to affect public opinion 'writ large' rather than of those of the folks who are called. There is a lot of that... basically just biased surveys and biased methods done for self-serving purposes, but still not a "push poll." To me a biased survey is worse than no survey, and people recognize self-serving releases of results, so why bother.
I will never forget when I was doing the Social Science Research Institute gig at UT and when an anti-death-penalty group leader wanted to commission a survey to show that Tenesseans were against the death penalty. I told the guy I found it pretty unlikely that a legitimate survey with unbiased questions would yield the results he wanted and told him that if his group wanted to commission a survey, we would construct and pretest an instrument that was appropriate and the results would be what they would be. There were good batteries of such questions out there already. He did not want a push poll, which would have tried to convert folks on the phone, but he did want to color what we found for a PR campaign directed at legislators. We did not pursue that contract.
Anyway, sorry for the excess verbiage, but it gets to that saying that always bothered me.. "You can get any result with a survey" or "Lies, damn lies, and statistics." Well, true, you can get results you want, but not with a properly constructed survey that passes professional scrutiny. And people lie with statistics just like they lie with other evidence. A little consumer awareness does wonders in both cases.
He did not want a push poll,
He did not want a push poll, which would have tried to convert folks on the phone, but he did want to color what we found for a PR campaign directed at legislators.
That captures what my question was about. Clearly the poll in question was not a negative push poll. But it didn't seem to be a straight up poll either. There was only one civilian and the question for the non-politician seemed more favorable than the favorable summaries for the politicians.
Had it not come out of Spokane Washington I would have thought maybe it was just a local poll done by amateurs. For most people I think the subtlety would go unnoticed.
Is this the future of polling? Polls that go farther than statistical research?
"Is this the future of
"Is this the future of polling? Polls that go farther than statistical research?"
I think this kind of polling has been around for awhile. One type of poll that is often confused with push polling is one that tests both positives and negatives. I don't know if this has a specific name, but I think that it may be different from a push poll. Maybe I'm wrong.
An example would be something like:
Who do you plan to vote for in the upcoming election? Candidate A or B.
If the answer is A, then a follow up like: Would you still vote for candidate A if you knew he/she voted this particular way on an issue?
If the answer is B, then a simliar follow up: Would you still vote for candidate B if you knew he/she had a criminal record?
Campaigns use these occasioanlly for various info. It tells a campaign what issues are effective in a campaign. Now that I type it out, it doesn't read a whole lot different from what I consider a push poll other than it is pointed on both candidates. I've never done a poll like this, but have read research from others. It does provide some sort of interesting insight into what drives voter opinions.
Positives and negatives
Gary is correct about folks sometimes wanting to "test positives and negatives," but to me that is pretty much code for a push poll. There is no way to test this in a poll. If you say.. "would you still be for x if some bad y" you telegraph a preferred answer of "no" and will overstate any reaction as well as plant the negative seed. There is no way to phrase a legitmate survey question that way.
Focus groups are totally diffent animals, not for generalizing, and generally overused. But if done very carefully they are often useful to test ads, etc. that might get into postives and negatives of a candidate or proposition.
Just called Brad Hill to Check
He vehemently denied doing any polling. He was quite flattered to be mentioned in a poll, however. He also agreed that he would probably garner near 1-2%. He did wish to relay his gratitude to those who chose to mention him in the poll.
I do love a good conspiracy theory though.
Conspiracy theory? Sounds
Conspiracy theory? Sounds like a practical joke to me...
The one on the appointments by mayor.
I thought the property assessor was going to
continue to be elected.
Or at least thats what I understood @ the 1st district
meeting I went to.
I maybe wrong but I'd like for someone to clear this
up for me.
You betcha.
All of the games stay the same, it's just the names that are changing. Move one in, move one out. Tighten up the strings....the puppets are getting ready to perform.
Conspiracy? Nope. I call it paranoia. When you lay down with dogs, boys, you might start to itch.
Property Assessor
We have not submitted the new petitions to the Election Commission. That will need to be done in the new couple of weeks. However, I think it is safe to say that the group will honor the changes it presented to County Commission, including dropping the Property Assessor.
One frustration from the County Commission meeting was the fact that they railed on us for making changes to the amendments. At first, we were too rigid because we prefered they pass our versions. We then went through a public process that included forums and discussions with the Law Director's office. We made changes to clear up any questions of legality or consistency, based on these meetings. Many of the changes were ideas that came directly from commissioners. Come 2nd reading, they turn them down at least partially because "These things have changed too much, and I can't keep up" (Scott Moore).
I don't understand the two
I don't understand the two petition choice by KCP. Law Director John Owings has said twice that is not legal. It sure would be smart to get a ruling from the Tennessee State Election Commission before another huge mistake is made.
This is very similar to what happen in 2006 with term limits. Term Limited Commissioners got on the ballot because of a mistake. Then there was no recourse to fix the problem.
Will we ever learn from our mistakes?
I don't understand the two
I don't understand the two petition choice by KCP. Law Director John Owings has said twice that is not legal.
Once again, slowly. Owings said it was not legal for COMMISSION to approve an amendment with more than one subject. He said it WAS legal for petitions to deal with more than one subject.
Obviously, it would be better to have one-subject amendments on the ballot. But with every amendment requiring another (what is it, 40,000?) signatures, that would put an impossible burden on the petitioners. And also run up the cost for the EC to verify signatures.
You do remember that thanks to Commission, taxpayers are going to be out that expense?
The confusion tactic is alive and well. Owings has never said that it was illegal to group the amendments. It is certainly not the best option, but it is most definitely legal.
...you could have a single item on the ballot to amend 200+ items in the charter. Good luck getting it into 300 words, though. That will be the issue with KCP's two-petition process as well.

Good grief. Your group had 46 errors in 9 Charter Amendments and you are going to tell me what Election Law is? You couldn't even remember where the city of Citizen Solutions was. You even had the wrong State.
We need a written ruling from Nashville. Guessing won't cut it.
You were wrong about this
You were wrong about this last time and corrected yourself. Do you not remember?
If you're talking to me, no.
If you're talking to me, no.
Mike, I clearly don't have
Mike, I clearly don't have the time to memorize the location of the subcontractors I have done business with. We feel quite confident that we are legal in regards to the idea that multiple amendments can be made on one petition. . . .especially given the fact that so far you are the only person to raise that question. If you feel a ruling from Nashville is necessary, I'm sure you could find a way to go get a ruling.
If you feel a ruling from
If you feel a ruling from Nashville is necessary, I'm sure you could find a way to go get a ruling.
Yes, you are correct. I do know how to get a ruling in Nashville. In fact, that was requested on Tuesday. As soon as I know I will share the ruling with you.
My 2 cents
1.If you got questions on the petition process
call the state election commission.
I feel confident you will be told the KCP
method is legal.
2.At the 1st district meeting I told the KCP folks
if they are going to win this thing they better get
the message down to a one page pass-out.
Voters are not going to sign a petition or vote for
these charter amendments if you folks insist on a 4 page
rambling explanation.
3.If I was KCP I wouldn't spend my time in the neighborhoods
spinning around pointing fingers @ the County Commission.
Get to the point of the amendments before mamaw got to stir the beans & get back to her story.
4.KCP needs to quit getting their kicks outa
gettin on the TEE-VEE & in the paper &
start dotting the i's & crossing the t's.
R's front page post says property assesor will be appointed &
is driving folks to KCP website that says property assesor will be appointed.
I had a 5 minute rap about property assesor appointed or elected with the KCP folks @ the 1st district meeting.
Misinformation means you take 5 minutes to explain something
that if KCP had doted the i & crossed the t by getting it right on the KCP website & this thread KCP would never needed to explain.
5.My KCP billboard
VOTE YES for GOOD GOVERNMENT!!!
Citizen Solutions charges
Citizen Solutions charges roughly $1.50 per vote. 80,000 votes will cost about $120,000. KCP has said they will pay the Knox County Election Commission to verify the votes. Cost $80,000.
Then you have to promote the Amendments that make it to the ballot. Cost $30,000.
Is this worth $230,000 in private donations? Why the big rush?
Why not wait until 2009 and do this with a Charter Review Committee and do it right?
There is only one reason I can think of to explain this. It is a Presidential Election and people are upset with County government. Is that the best way to amend our County Charter, with shrill emotion?
Haven't we learned better than this?
Why not wait until 2009 and
Why not wait until 2009 and do this with a Charter Review Committee and do it right?
So you trust Commission not to kill that next year too? I don't.
KCP has never said we would pay the election commission to count the signatures.

KCP has never said we would pay the election commission to count the signatures.
Pardon? Isn't that what Laurens Tullock said on February 25th? Were you at the February 25th meeting?
If it is a big deal I will look through the YouTubes. The point is you are spokesperson Number 5 for KCP. Or is it 6? Keeping up with all that has been said from KCP would take a court secretary. I heard it. I thought it was unusual. Did someone misspeak? Because there has been a lot of that.
Since you are now the current spokesperson and you say the taxpayers have to pay for the verification then so be it. Your group should be held accountable for the inflexibility of KCP on February 25th when Laurens Tullock said, "we will not be taking any changes to the Amendments". If KCP had worked with Commission from the beginning the petition route would not be required.
That inflexibility and refusal to work with the Law Department and County Commission will now cost the taxpayers. Your group should have to pay for the verification, as your group is the reason for the cost of verification.
Again, the petition route is the least desirable method. The Charter Review Committee is the method prescribed by the Knox County Charter. Your group could have asked for a Charter Review Committee in September of 2007 and the taxpayers would not have to eat $80,000. But your group chose not to. For government to work everyone has to work together. This has been a valuable civics lesson.
If KCP had worked with
If KCP had worked with Commission from the beginning the petition route would not be required.
Oh, baloney. The last thing some Commissioners were going to do was let these amendments on the ballot - in any form.
For government to work everyone has to work together.
That's a pretty ironic statement coming from you. When have you ever done anything but throw rocks?
Oh, baloney. The last thing
Oh, baloney. The last thing some Commissioners were going to do was let these amendments on the ballot - in any form.
The Recall Amendment went up with no problems. That could have been a contentious Amendment. But it was approved unanimously.
Two Charter Amendments were approved Monday on First reading. One was 18-1 and the other was 19-0.
The difference is how these Amendments were presented. You don't come into a governmental body and dictate how it is going to be. Unless you want to stand in the sun and collect petitions.
Others have no problems with Charter Amendments and Knox County Commission. It is this group that has difficulty.
Be sure to wear a hat and sunscreen while collecting your signatures. Good luck.

Be sure to wear a hat and sunscreen while collecting your signatures. Good luck.
Thanks. I doubt I'll need it.
Be sure to let us know what you hear from Nashville now.
To say a political organization will
pay the election commission to count petitions.
Is ridiculous 9.
Hell the election commission isn't a non proffit
organization that goes out door to door raising money
to hold elections or count petitions.
There are so many ways to refute this
ridiculous statement that a political organzation
would pay the election commission to count petitions.
I dont know where to start
so i won't
Using emotion to help get
Using emotion to help get signatures is worthy of applause. It won't take near the convincing to get folks to put their John Hancock on a page or 2 when the petitioners ask, "Are you angry about the way that County government is being run? Sign here and here".
Timing is everything. Waiting for the people to understand the Charter changes, would result in them choosing not to sign the Amendments, as they are currently written. Meaning, strike while the iron is hot. "Them voters, they'll sign anything".
It's time for change in government. It's always time for change in government. It's the players that will change, not the game. Also, just because the players change in name doesn't mean that the same good old boyz won't be in control. Look at the list of people on this committee. I believe that you will recognize that they are the same people as days gone by. I also believe that you will note several folks who are related to some of them good old boyz.
Let 'em try for their 40,000 signatures....wait, that's 80,000. Good luck. Make 'em all believe that they aren't mushrooms.
Nobody ever said we'd pay
Nobody ever said we'd pay for the signatures.
Yessir, yall did. Here's
Yessir, yall did. Here's the thing. Yall know that the good old boyz of Downtown will pay whatever it takes to make this happen. Simply, ego. BIG ASS ego. Be weary of those who profess to wanting your newest idea. What about those folks that yall try to convince. How's that going???

Who, any more, has a baby - naturally - at 50? Me? Well, maybe ...
OPINION: As I write this, I could have a belly full of dividing cells. Or, it might just be that I have a belly full of belly; it has become increasingly difficult to discern. If I am indeed pregnant at 49, by the time I give birth I will have hit 50, and the only thing I'll be rocking will be a cradle. The medical term for the condition in a woman older than 35 is "geriatric pregnancy". So, what would that make me? Greatly geriatricly gravid?
I was 47 years old, and had been married for six months, the first time I played what I've come to know as the insanely torturous Am I or Am I Not? game. Beset with symptoms that included wild hormone swings, nausea, extreme tiredness, strange food cravings and aversion to alcohol, I did the obvious and took a pregnancy test. When that plastic stick blushed negative, I was overwhelmed by a combination of disappointment and relief. The next day my period arrived, three months late.
Despite my being what is charmingly known as "perimenopausal" (one of those bizarre "women's business" words), there is a possibility, albeit a biblical one, that I might still become pregnant. Having only one (adult) child, I have often had a yearning for another, but circumstances have never been conducive - and now that they are (sort of), it's probably too late.
My son has just turned 21 - an age at which it's starting to look a whole lot more appropriate (and not nearly as creepy) for him to be a father than it is for me to become a mother again. And if I were to become a mother again, I could not help but be both thrilled and aghast. Thrilled at what would be an absolute miracle baby, and aghast at what it would mean to have a baby at my age. I mean, I now find it difficult enough just to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. How would I cope with the relentless slog and terminal exhaustion of caring for a newborn?
My husband is 12 years older than me, and is not so keen on the idea of becoming a grandpa-dad. Then there's my weight: I'm "working on it". My health is not bad, but I take various prescription medications for one thing or another. The statistics for healthy older women who have babies with birth defects - let alone those for women who are not so healthy - are horrendous.
The sense of horror, however, is offset by a sense of delight at the thought of being blessed with a miracle baby. Sober medical statistics tell me that it's almost impossible for a woman between the ages of 45 and 60 to become pregnant and, without medical intervention, to carry the baby to full-term. And that's the rub: there remains a one or two per cent chance that I could get pregnant. Those better-than-lottery-winning odds might be low, but they are still odds to be respected.
After my first "scare", I did not think about the possibility of being a pregnant old lady again, until two months later, and then the month after that, and the month after that ...
My husband and I choose not to use contraception, hence my monthly schizoid state. I have gone from having a reliable monthly menstrual cycle to one that's all over the shop and often late ... very late. And so this game of Am I or Am I Not? goes on. And it likely will until the annoyingly unpredictable "peri" part of perimenopausal has departed from this mad equation. But until The Change has irrevocably changed me, I'll remain "capable".
That post-marriage pregnancy test was the first of many (eight, but who's counting?). Being a highly suggestible person, every time my period is more than three weeks late, I start feeling ever so pregnant, and I take myself off to get a pregnancy test (I've started buying them in packs of five). Without fail, my period turns up within two days of peeing on a stick.
Whenever he spies the discarded wrapper in the bathroom, my husband says that he expects the emotional Godzilla he has been living with will soon be replaced by her sweet and docile doppelgänger, snug and wrapped up with a heat pad and painkillers, in bed with a good book.
Last year, there was a four-month interlude when my cycle went back to its old, reliable ways, and I had a period every 28 days on the knocker; but apart from that, every couple of months I find myself in a fractured state that alternates between being horrified and delighted.
If I'm honest, I would love to be given a second chance to be a mother - in part because I was so, so far from perfect the first time around. And so, until The Change blows in, I will continue to torture myself with the game of Am I or Am I Not?

LA day trip without rent a car?,
Report Abuse
You can walk from Phillipe's to the ball park - it is less than a mile. But others will have to tell you how to get from LAX to Phillipe's and from Chavez Ravine to UCLA.
Report Abuse
No luggage, I hope.
I would take the LAX Flyaway bus to Union Station and walk to Phillipe's. The bus departs LAX on the hour and half-hour and takes from 30-50 minutes, depending on traffic. The walk to Phillipe's would take less than 10 minutes.
You could walk to Dodger Stadium, but I wouldn't. I'd take a taxi. There is bus service for part of the route, but you'd have to walk a few blocks to catch the bus which would drop you below the stadium and you'd have to walk up to the hill. The taxi would be door to door and take 1/4 the time.
You could take Metro Line 2 from near Dodger Stadium to UCLA. Walk down the hill from the stadium to Sunset Boulevard/Elysian Park Avenue. The ride would take 60-90 minutes depending on traffic, and the fare would be $1.50.
The last departure of the LAX Flyaway bus from Westwood is at 10:00 p.m. There is local bus service after that time.
Report Abuse
BTW, because of where you would need to go at Dodger Stadium for the tour, the walk from Phillipe's would be 1.8 miles.
Report Abuse
I just looked at the Dodger website for tour times. I don't know when you're planning your trip, but at this point the tours are only done at 10:00 and 11:30 a.m. So, you'd need to do the stadium tour before Phillipe's.
This changes your trans options slightly. I'd still bus to Union Station and then choose between taking Local 2 to the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Elysian Park Avenue (walk up the hill to the stadium) or taking a cab. After the tour, bus back to Union Station and walk to Phillipe's or cab directly to the restaurant.
After lunch, walk to Union Station and take Line 2 to UCLA. Allow 2 hours for the bus ride to UCLA. A taxi would take 45-60 minutes and cost about $55-60.
Report Abuse
Thank you Jean for the very helpful hints on getting around.With a 1000 arrival at LAX looks like I will have to CX the Dodger Stadium tour.Next question,are there cool late night spots (food drinks,jazz?) within walking distance of Pauley Pav? The practicle side of me says get a room at LAX and don't fly back east on a red-eye-It will have been a pretty full day!

If your UCLA evening is mid-week, your late-night options will be limited. Here's a link that might help:

Levon Marashlian, Noted Armenian Historian, Details TV Coverage of Karabakh Conflict
After the parliament of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast in Azerbaijan voted to unify the region with Armenia on Feb. 20, 1988, inter-ethnic fighting broke out. This devolved into a war that lasted through May 1994 and likely received little coverage on the nightly news. Here to fill us in on what we missed, including what was televised, is Levon Marashlian, a UC Irvine lecturer, Glendale Community College history professor and the first Armenian historian to lecture in Turkey on the Armenian genocide.

Marashlian's free illustrated lecture, "The Karabakh Conflict From Ceasefire to Safarov: Analysis Via Television News Coverage: 1990s to 2012," begins with a reception at 6:30 this evening and the presentation an hour later in Room 135 of UCI's Humanities Instructional Building.
Here is the poster for the lecture sponsored by the School of Humanities and Armenian Studies:

Marashlian has taught Armenian history and the diaspora, as well as Middle Eastern, Russian and U.S. history and politics at the aforementioned institutions as well as UCLA and Cal State Northridge. He's also analyzed news coverage of the Karabakh Conflict for government officials, testifying before the U.S. Congress in 1996. It was his participation in the 11th Congress of Turkish History in Ankara in 1990 that marked the first time an Armenian lectured on the Armenian genocide in Turkey, whose government has minimized or denied genocide even happened.
No reservations are required are required for the lecture or reception, where refreshments will be served. But it's $10 to park in the nearest lot: Mesa Parking Structure's Lot 7 at West Peltason and Mesa roads.

Under-fire Mackay is one of the 'best young managers in Britain', claims Cardiff striker Bellamy
Cardiff striker Craig Bellamy has voiced his support for under-fire manager Malky Mackay and admitted the departure of his No 2 Iain Moody will leave a huge void at the Welsh club.
Bellamy insisted he was unaware of the turmoil at the Premier League club because he was away on international duty with Wales.
Mackay was asked to resign from the club before his head of recruitment, Moody, was placed on gardening leave on Tuesday.

The club revealed in a statement on Friday that Moody, Mackay's right-hand man, has now left on a permanent basis, replaced in an acting capacity by Alisher Apsalyamov, a 23-year-old friend of Tan's son who has no known experience in football.
When told about the turmoil Bellmay, aged 34, spoke of his admiration for Mackay and Moody.
'I've been away it's difficult to know exactly what has happened. I don't really read papers. It's not because I don't like them, it's just I'm too busy. I don't particularly have the time.
'So I don't know what's happened.'
Well, Iain Moody has gone
'He's (Moody) gone has he? Well that's a huge loss for us. He's outstanding. Any club who has Iain Moody is a miles better club, without a shadow of a doubt.
'As a manager, he's (Mackay) the best young British manager I've dealt with. What he's done for this club in a short space of time is nothing short of remarkable.
Duty calls: Craig Bellamy was unaware of all the turmoil at Cardiff
Here to stay: Mackay has received backing from Tan, after a week of uncertainty
'I've never seen a group of fans and players united like this because of what he has done. He's responsible for the connection between the fans and the players.
'We're such a tight-knit group. The discipline he's brought into the club, remarkable.
'Listen, I'm a player. It isn't for me to dictate to anyone above me.
'But the simple fact is that I'm very fortunate as a player to be working for the guy.
'I've had a lot of managers. Some good ones too. I've been ridiculously lucky from that point of view.
'He's brought everyone together here - and we needed that
'I don't want to disrespect the other managers we've had here at Cardiff because everyone has played their part in the history of this club. But he has taken it on to another level, he really has.
'This season, matchdays, the atmosphere, everything that comes with this club - I feel really proud of it at 34-years old, and he's been a big part of that.'
Meeting: More talks will take place between Tan and CEO Simon Lim (right) on Monday
Mackay has been adamant that he will not walk away from his job, despite the seemingly untenable circumstances he finds himself in, but in a flimsy statement that made no effort to explain Tan's shock decision to replace Moody, the Malaysian millionaire claimed he could enjoy a working relationship with the Scot for 'years to come'.
Tan said: 'I have every faith in Malky and his team to lead us through the challenges of the Premier League. I have supported him in the past and will do so in the future for many years to come.
'I would say to all Cardiff City fans and everyone connected to the club, let us look forward to the future and remain united in our support of the team.'
The statement
added: 'Cardiff City Football Club can announce the departure of head of
recruitment, Iain Moody. Iain is leaving the club with our thanks for
his contribution. In the interim period, Alisher Apsalyamov has been
appointed as acting head of recruitment, focussing on gathering data on
individual players. Ultimate recruitment decisions of course remain the
domain of the manager and majority shareholder.
Sri Vincent Tan, the board and the staff at the club are fully
committed to the future success of the team and hold a strong desire to
compete in the best league in the world.'
The club will hold a board meeting on Monday to further discuss how to plot a path forward.
Sportsmail understands CEO Simon Lim will be at the meeting, though Lim is currently in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he is meeting with owner Vincent Tan to discuss the situation
Serious questions remain in the saga, particularly regarding the grounds on which Moody was removed from his post.
Moody is alleged to have overspent in his transfer dealings, with Tan believed to have been angered that the approximate £34million spent in the summer did not include wages and other costs outside of the main transfer fees.
Sources claim that Lim will have signed off on all deals, raising questions about the sanction against Moody.

As the nation's no. 1 region for economic development, it's not hard to understand why the Southeast is also the most populated in the US. With the world's busiest airport and home to one of world's most recognized brands, Coca-Cola, the Southeast boasts world-class cities with small-town friendliness and that trademark southern hospitality. The dynamic metropolitan cities of the South are attracting large corporations, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs creating an even greater need for a building partner to ensure the infrastructure is in place to support this growth. As more and more Americans are putting down Southern roots, McCarthy's Southeast region office will grow right along with them.
