Retaliatory eviction? I am disabled person on section 8
Hi, I live in san diego ca. I am disabled person on section 8. I have opened a strong case in the Dept of fair housing and employment on the apartments i live in. In response they gave me a 90 day more out order. I recieved at door, no one to serve. Nothing in mail, I provided copy to hud in sd. When I went to talk to managment he was unaware! I provived him with copy. Hud did not receive letter from landlord either regarding. Now the management is refusing to accept my rent and i expect a unlawful detainer. Is this legal???? sect 8 yesterday said they considered the letter a fake and are going to continue the payment automatically this month. management is being fall guy for landlord?

Re: Retaliatory eviction? I am disabled person on section 8
I wish to inform you that you may give a written notice to the management and the landlord. You may inform them that Section 8 stated that the letter received by you was a fake and that payments would continue to be paid by them. If the management and the landlord refuse to accept the rent, then you take an injunction from the court in the matter. You may explain all the facts to the court to support your viewpoint. The burden of proof will be on you to support your case. The court will consider all the facts and decide the matter.

Re: Retaliatory eviction? I am disabled person on section 8
yes please. the strong case was based on a manger moving a person who i have a restraining order placed with knowledge of the order purposely. To harass me.
Just filed response to the UD today. waiting to see judge i assume now.
added my written response to case.
I am a disabled/SSDI person, i have lived at this residence for five years and have been the perfect tenant till I was discriminated against.The landlords brother was management a year ago and has been making discriminatory actions as to force me out of the apt. I currently have a case under investigation for disability discrimination in the Dept of Fair Housing and Employment Case *** vs***apts # ******* , filed originally in April 2011, reviewed in Jan 2012, and most recently transferred in Feb to new investigator. I have received a letter of unlawful detainer from the courts, as the manager would not allow me to pay my portion of rent. The sect 8/Hud Dept has electronically paid for this months (May) rent. As the 90 day move out order was a "fake" and never sent to their dept nor sent in mail as proof of service. I have also filed a new case with the Dept of Fair Housing and Employment for Retaliatory Eviction. As federal laws plainly state this as "Retaliatory" for my complaint for violation of personal rights! As I believe this eviction is a retaliation for the DEFH case opened. This is a strategic lawsuit which is against public policy and I also believe both state and federal laws protect me from said actions. i am asking for proof of service on 90 day move out and defend myself under Retaliatory Eviction Laws.

Re: Retaliatory eviction? I am disabled person on section 8
Hi, My daughter 21,Baby 2 1/2 and myself 62, disabled (Crohn's/Colitis) on section 8 and also both have asthma and have lived here 7 years +, who have received a 90 notice form landlord who also just handed it to us as we past him (HERE) us whats this (HERE) . This guy is a real estate agent who can be a nice guy but can be an idiot. 1) i made a deal with him to do the landscaping for cash he wrote checks for cash, but i tried to have him take it off the rent but he refused,in which eventually he tried to get me to file w something, i refused because that wasn't the deal , he told be if i didn't he'd get in trouble with irs . I said it wasn't my problem you knew what you agreed on and im not signing nothing,your just trying to get greedy . He mentioned it for months i told him to stop with all that im not signing it.2) we had a rotted pole on the porch that holds the corner of the roof that was 5 years ago, hes complained about the cost to fix.3) he complained about 5 years ago about a plant leaking water on the porch which i bought a thing at home depot that goes under the plant , making accusations about this and that. couple years later while doing the landscaping, i noticed cracking and small pieces of cement breaking away from where the stairs attach to second floor, first thing he mentions the flower pot ;-( so i ask what are you saying i caused it ? Lets get honest this place is 50 + years, the roof does not cover the edge of the porch and every winter it rains in the porch meaning for 50+ years so more then likely the weather has taken its toll.3) problems with neighbors smoking 8 feet from our door so we would close our door and WHY ? but the smoke would drift into our apt.So the new neighbors he asked them if she smokes she said no so he added in their lease NO smoking on the property, she has and i complained and shes still here. 4) Neighbor downstairs blocking our access to come and go , i reported the person, she does it from time to time, i have baby in arms or walking with me hand in hand, daughter, groceries, and do you think they would move NO, so i reported to him, Yes its cause friction and they don't like me because i have BUT i have good reason.5) i said something to him and he said F u you don't like it then get out in front of my daughter and grand baby ,I* was HIGHLY pissed and told him i don't talk to you like that so i expect the same respect he said F U, I said if you were 18 id kick your azz, he said O you threatening me now , i told him no one threaten you and told him what i said again. So a little time goes by and i detail it all in a letter to him, i still have a copy of it but lost the postal number i paid extra for to have him sign receiving it, they say if i lost it they have no proof ;-( i said i paid for it, shortly after we got a 90 day, i asked him why he said he doesn't have to tell me, well one of the neighbors told me because of all this. Here is how he also is ONE time in 7+ years i wrote the rent check out for 2.00 short of what it was, he called me that i owed him BUT for 8 months i had OVER paid him and he never said anything i also mentioned it to him, if you catch 2.00 how did you not catch the over payment and allow me to over pay you for 8 months, Lame answer. So i believe hes taken Retaliatory action against us. And for all the help assisting him in fixing things and lending him my tools, just lately too , we get a notice.
What action can i take and how, Appreciate any and all help possible, its very hard finding another place that accepts housing and close because my daughter is attending college and just finally got a part time job, we want to move but we have to be out dec.31, i asked him for and extention until after the first of the year and his response is hes within the law. Thank U

9:00 pm
up in the middle of the highway, fisher boulevard, can't drive down. boats -- just devastation everywhere. >> pete, thank you very much. glad you're out safe. thank you for sharing the story with with us. new jersey certainly hit the hardest by sandy. here's "piers morgan tonight." good evening. you're looking live at the extraordinary sight. some three feet of heavy snow in west virginia. a blizzard in october. the result of superstorm sandy, which continues to cause chaos along the east coast. and here's hoboken, new jersey, still flooded by sandy in new york city. a city divided tonight between light and dark. no one can answer the big question, when will all the new york lights come back on? take a look at this. new video of what superstorm sandy did to southberry station at the tip of lower manhattan. it shows you just how extensive the damage is and why the entire subway system remains closed tonight, more than 24 hours after sandy blast add shore. we'll have the latest on the state of the subway and when it may be up and running again in a few moments. plus this dramatic video.
9:01 pm
up to ten feet of water. part of the basement of nyu langer medical center. nurses actually carried sick newborn babies down nine flights of stairs while manually pumping air into their lungs. quite extraordinary. i'll talk to a doctor iflgd in the evacuation. meanwhile, in new jersey, the state hit hardest by sandy, search and rescue missions have gone on all day long. president obama will travel there tomorrow to vut damage along with new jersey governor chris christie. the governor surprised many people today when he called the president and i quote outstanding and incredibly supportive. words he probably wouldn't have used at the heart of an election battle last week. governor chris christie joins me from the state emergency command center. governor, thank you for joining me. i watched these extraordinary scenes over new jersey today. really quite unprecedented. i've never seen anything quite like it. have you ever seen anything like this in your lifetime? >> no, i haven't. in fact, piers, today i toured the jersey coastline both by helicopter, and i landed in two
9:02 pm
spots on the jersey shore. and i can tell you that i have never seen devastation like this in my life. not here in new jersey. you see sights like the seaside heights boardwalk, where the program "the jersey shore" is filmed, the boardwalk is gone. it is gone. amusement rides, a roller coaster, a log flume, in the ocean. it's incredible. homes destroyed. it's an awful thing. >> new jersey people are known for their resilience. they're tough people. you yourself are a tough guy and i've seen that many times. but how do you deal with something like this? how do you rally them, how are they reacting on the ground? >> well, listen, today people are devastated and so my job today is to let people know that i understand how they feel, i share their feelings, but that we've got to suck it up and move on. and that's what we're doing.
9:03 pm
i gave out a lot of hugs today, piers, on the jersey shore, because there are people who are really hurting. but i also told them we're going to rebuild and we're going to start making the assessments toward rebuilding tomorrow. today is kind of a day of sorrow for people here, when the sun came up and we saw what this storm wrought on our state but today is the only day of sorrow for new jersey. we're now going to mix sorrow with determination and move forward as a strong and resolute people to make sure that we rebuild our state and do what needs to be done. >> have you found it a very emotional day since you've seen what's been going on? >> sure. listen, that area in northern ocean county, seaside heights, seaside park, that was the jersey shore of my youth. where i went as a kid with my parents on vacation and where i go now with my children. so to see so much of that destroyed was very emotional experience for me today. no doubt.
9:04 pm
>> you've taken charge, as you've always done in these situations, in a very impressive way. people have been surprised that you've been so outspokenly supportive and praiseworthy to the president. i'm not surprised, knowing you, but explain to me why you were happy to do that so close to an election when some might say politically that wasn't the best thing to do. >> this is much more important than any election. piers, this is the livelihood of the people in my state. and when the president does things that deserve praise, i will give him praise. and when the president does things that deserve scorn, i'll give him scorn. i think people know that about me. but i am not going to play politics with this issue. this is so much bigger than an election. this is the livelihood of the people of my state. what they expect me to do is get the job done. and when someone asks me an honest question, i give an honest answer. how has the president been to deal with? he's been outstanding to deal with on this and i look forward
9:05 pm
to seeing him tomorrow so he can see for himself what this hurricane has done to my state. >> i congratulate you on that position. i think it's time that leaders like you took that position. i think the president has behaved impeccably over all this. i think this whole issue of washington being at war with each other, this is a prime example of how politicians should behave and come together in times of crisis for america. let me cut to the quick here, governor. what are the crucial things now for people in your state who are watching this, who want to know what to do, what should they be doing when they watch this tomorrow, the next day and so on, for the rest of this week? >> well, this is going to be a difficult week. we still have 160 state roads closed. we still have 2.6 million households without power. so this week i would ask them for their patience. it's not going to be easy to move around the state. it's not going to be easy to operate your own home without power. but we're slowly but surely going to get power back on. but it is a monumental task. to give you a sense of scale, piers, 2.6 million households without power.
9:06 pm
that's 1.2 million more than lost power during hurricane irene. this is a monumental, monumental task that we have in front of us. so i'd ask them this week for their patience. and then the week after that we're going to need their resilience as we begin to go back to work and rebuild our state. but we're going to continue to work. we're doing search and rescue missions now, still. we've been doing them all day. we have been saving hundreds of people from places across new jersey and law enforcement is committed to continuing to do that until nightfall again tonight, and then we'll start again tomorrow morning. >> you have a young family. are they all okay? where were they when all this was going down? and what do you say to your children, what does any parent say to a child when this kind of catastrophe happens on their doorstep? >> well, first off, you give them a hug and you say don't be scared, mom and dad will protect you. that's the first thing you do. and second, my family was at our
9:07 pm
family home in mendham when we lost power finally late yesterday afternoon. the state police moved them down to the governor's residence in princeton, where once we arrived we shortly thereafter lost power there as well. but at least we were all together. and i came from the operations and intelligence center last night over to the governor's residence and we spent the night together there last night. we will spend the night together there again tonight. no power but we'll still be together. >> what do you say, what does a parent say, what should parents be telling their kids in new jersey now? >> i think they look at their children and children are obviously scared about this. so i said this in my press briefing the other day, i spoke directly to the kids of new jersey and said don't be scared. the adults are taking care of this problem. we will take care of this problem. we'll keep you safe. that's the most important thing. kids want to know if they're safe. first and foremost. i don't think the message should be any more complicated than
9:08 pm
that. this is an adult problem for adults to solve and cope with. we should just let -- lower children's anxiety by telling them the adults in their lives will keep them safe, there's nothing for them to be scared of. >> there are so many awful places you could take the president tomorrow to show him the scale of the devastation. have you worked out yet where you intend taking him? >> not quite yet. we're still working on it, piers. the white house has been very cooperative in terms of taking our input on places where the president could get the greatest insight into the true measure of the devastation in our state. so we will work with the president. i'm sure we'll come up with a place that's acceptable to the white house. and that's where we'll be tomorrow. >> when you come into politics and become a governor or even higher level, you know you will get hit by natural disasters. did anything really prepare you for this kind of thing? >> no. i mean, even going through hurricane irene last year and that freak october snowstorm, i thought prepared me for natural
9:09 pm
disasters, but nothing prepares you for what i saw today. what i saw today was the changing of lives, piers. the ruination of homes, of neighborhoods. places that were a part of my growing up as a son of this state. those places will never be the same. we'll rebuild them. for sure we'll rebuild them. but they'll never be the same. there's a bit of sadness, a tinge of sadness in that. >> i know you've hardly had any sleep and you've been full on n this really for a few days now. have you had a chance to speak to governor romney? >> yes, i spoke to governor romney on i think that was either saturday night or sunday night. i can't -- days, when you don't sleep that much, days run into each other. one evening over the weekend, either saturday or sunday night, governor romney called me at home and just asked for how things were going, what was going on. i believe that was on sunday night. >> i hope you get some rest
9:10 pm
tonight, governor. you're doing an outstanding job there. i salute you and the whole team you have there of first responders and all the emergency services. i really think they have been faced with an unprecedented disaster as they have here in new york, and i really salute you for the work you've done. i hope you carry on doing it and you have all our thoughts and prayers with you. >> well, piers, i really appreciate that. and you can count on the fact that i'll carry on doing it. it's what the people hired me to do and that's what i'm going to continue to do. thanks for giving me the chance to come out tonight and talk to you and your audience about what's going on here. you know we have a bunch of tough, hard-edged people in this state. and we'll be back. >> good for you, governor. nice to talk to you. >> thank you. good talking to you, too, piers. >> governor chris christie, a tough guy and a good guy. let's go now to newark mayor cory booker, who joins me on the phone. mr. mayor, how are you? >> i'm doing all right, obviously, we're dealing with a lot of challenges statewide. those of us here in newark, new jersey especially, our hearts and prayers are with the people who face the biggest brunt of
9:11 pm
the devastation in southern new jersey. >> yeah, it really is absolutely appalling. i was struck by what the governor, though, said about the president. somebody tweeted to me just now, steve giglia, said the civility, decorum, and teamwork between governor christie and barack obama is exactly how our government should work all of the time. i couldn't agree with that more. i really feel it's been a massive breath of fresh air to see a republican leader like chris christie so prepared to be openly praiseworthy of a democrat president. what did you think? >> well, look, here on the front lines of this crisis we see emergency workers reaching out. we've seen cooperation between port authority police, my fire department. nobody stops and asks you what your religion is, nobody stops and asks you what your political party affiliation is. folks are just rolling up their sleeves, getting to work. and so what you're seeing in the field, what you're seeing with residents, what you're seeing with emergency responders is what we should be seeing with
9:12 pm
our elected leaders as well. the president of the united states, our governor and really dozens of local elected leaders of all parties across the state, we're all pulling together. we're all in the same foxhole. we're all fighting the same enemy here. and it's not refreshing. frankly, that's the standard that has built america in the past and it's going to help us forge forward in the future. >> we're hearing that there have been as many as six fatalities now in new jersey. that death toll may well rise. there are many areas people still can't get to. what are you hearing about people who may be trapped or areas where these services have simply not been able to get to them? >> well, that's the crisis. and that's what had me concerned. the storm may have passed but the challenges continue. i've got a high-rise building with seniors who might be dependent upon power and electricity for medical machines. people who have medicine that requires refrigeration. we've got to get to those people. we've got to get them secured. we've got to get them to hospitals. we still have flooded areas. we still have a lot of challenges.
9:13 pm
so this is going to be a long process of stabilizing, getting out of what i consider the state of emergency and then continuing to forge forward to get ourselves back to a sense of normalcy. but there's a lot of work to do. we're going to have right here in newark literally hundreds if not thousands of people working through the night trying to make sure that this city is safe. and you can imagine with what some of my brothers and sisters are facing in cities further down south, in towns down south. there's a lot of work to do and we've just got to give a lot of tribute to the people that are working around the clock, making sure that we can get to a point of safety and security for every resident of our state. >> i wish you all the very best. as always, mayor, please stay in touch with us. anything we can do to help you, let us know. >> thank you very much. and i appreciate again -- the media is a critical component to being there for residents and informing them and letting them know what's happening during these times of trial. thank you. >> great. speak to you soon.
9:14 pm
thank you very much. in new york right now, the city's entire mass transit system is still crippled by sandy. it may be days before service is restored for millions who rely on it. david mattingly is at bowling green station in lower manhattan. david, we saw some extraordinary scenes near new battery park last night. erin burnett was up to her waist in water at one stage. that clearly has receded but i was hearing mayor bloomberg this morning sounding apocalyptic about the worst ever power outages, the worst ever subway damage, generally the worst ever storm that new york had ever seen. the subway's 108 years old. what kind of condition do we think it's now in? >> reporter: well, that's really a tough question to answer. the transit authority officials can't even give us an answer about that because they haven't pumped all the water out to inspect all the damage that might have been done. and they're saying it could take days for some tunnels to be pumped out, could be hours for other tunnels to be pumped out. but all of that water, millions
9:15 pm
and millions of gallons of it, has to be pumped out before they can get in there and inspect everything, and then they have to see what kind of replacement equipment that has to be brought in, what has to be repaired. it's going to be a very long and slow process. think about this. there are seven tunnels that go under the east river. all seven of those tunnels took on water. so those tunnels, they're going to be out of commission for some time. but again, at this point they're still just pumping the water out. in fact, the station behind us here, the bowling green station, just a couple of hours ago before it got really dark here, some workers came out, they took the sandbags away, they took the barriers away and actually seemed to be surprised to walk down there and find out it was relatively dry. so a little bit of good news on this spot. but just a couple of blocks away the station there, they're pumping water out of it. there are very large hoses being brought out, a constant stream of water coming out into the street. it's going to be a long and slow process, piers.
9:16 pm
>> david, thank you very much for now. sandy wiped out an entire community, more than 80 homes burned to the ground. a live report from the scene of devastation coming up. everyone in the nicu, all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days. everything that you thought was important to you changes in light of having a child that needs you every moment. i wouldn't trade him for the world. who matters most to you says the most about you. massmutual is owned by our policyholders
9:17 pm
so they matter most to us. if you're caring for a child with special needs, our innovative special care program offers strategies that can help. see life in the best light.

9:19 pm
welcome back to breaking news on hurricane sandy, which is still ravaging the east coast. want to go to hoboken in new jersey, across the river from here in new york city. cnn's gary tuchman is there. he says what's happening now reminds him of katrina. gary, tell me why you believe that. >> reporter: piers, this is a city of 50,000 people right
9:20 pm
across the hudson river in new york city. yes, it does remind me of katrina because behind us we have 50% of hoboken flooded and there are, according to the mayor, thousands of people in their apartments and homes who can't get out right now. so we actually went on a front loader with the mayor, they're using front loaders to rescue people. they're trying to prioritize the rescues. what's different about this than new orleans, what we saw in katrina in 2005 when we went down streets in boats, is that there are no casualties. that's the good news. but they're still not 100% sure. people can't leave their homes, not only because the water's deep but because there's live power lines in the water. so as we're going down the street in this front-loader we see people waving from their windows, children, men, women. and most of them seem to have smiles on their faces because they've seen the water recede. in new orleans the water kept getting higher. this water is receding but people are waiting to be rescued. they're hoping by tomorrow they can get most of the people rescued. what we saw is some people trying to leave on their own.
9:21 pm
and some people seemed to be a little confused. we saw three people trying to drive their cars out of the water. the cars got stuck, they tried to start pushing their cars. at that point one of the policemen on the frontloader with us went out into the water, picked up one of the women on his shoulders, brought her to the vehicle, and the mayor and i helped put the woman inside the vehicle, the front-loader. and then two more men were rescued a short time afterwards. that's what's happening right now behind me. there are literally according to the mayor thousands of people still in their apartments. she's called for the national guard to come and help and the national guard announced a short time ago they are on their way to hoboken to help out. >> amazing scenes. new york is very much a city at the moment of two halves. in manhattan, on the upper east where i have an apartment, it's pretty normal. people going about their normal lives. anything below sort of 38th street, it's total chaos and blackouts and flooding and clearly, where you are, just over the water, the same kind of scenario. so it's a really strange kind of double life going on now for new yorkers. but for now, gary, thank you very much. >> reporter: thank you, piers.
9:22 pm
>> i want to go to a neighborhood that's been devastated by sandy, a tight-knit community in queens, new york called breezy point where as many as 100 homes were burned to the ground. deborah feyerick is there for us. deb, it's a pretty awful situation down there. it's just been razed almost to the ground. i've seen pictures earlier. they were saying 80 homes but i believe it's nearer 100, is that right? >> reporter: yeah, it really is. we spoke to a fire department official earlier this afternoon. he actually, his father has a home here and he did the math and said you know, you've got about seven blocks, 30 homes per block, and his math, he said conservatively it's probably more than 100. so they are really trying to figure out how many homes were devastated. piers, you've got to think about this. they expected the flood, they expected the high water, they expected the power surge. they never expected this fire. o'and we just want to show you something, piers. take a look inside. this is the car. think about the intensity of the heat to that blaze to do that to that car.
9:23 pm
as we were walking around, everything is just obliterated. it is incinerated. we see a couple foundations, we see a couple of metal objects but for the most part, clothing, furniture, all that, no evidence whatsoever. >> and we still don't know if the cause was a power line that had been downed or transformer, is that right? >> reporter: yeah. that's exactly right. and when you think about this particular fire, whatever started that blaze in that one home, because of the direction of the wind in a southeasterly way, it took all the homes, once that one house caught fire, because they're so close to one another, you can really touch them, every other house caught fire, too, piers. >> at the moment they're saying there were no fatalities, which seems quite extraordinary. do you think that will stay the case, that everyone got out, no one's died here? >> reporter: a lot of people were evacuated. lot of people evacuated themselves. they listened to all the warnings. but look, the search and rescue teams still have to come out.
9:24 pm
they sent some preliminary search and rescue teams out earlier today. they were in thick suits and little dinghies and they were going from home to home. but look, we're talking about these burned-out homes but the ones along the bay, they were devastated. they have been knocked from their foundation. some of the fronts have been completely sheared off. so it's not just these homes that have been destroyed in this community but also the ones that took the direct impact of this powerful, powerful storm, piers. >> very sad for them. it was only in september the same neighborhood apparently experienced a pretty bad tornado. our thoughts and prayers with all of them over there. thank you very much, deb, for now. coming up, safe in the storms. babies rescued from a flooded hospital. an extraordinary story. i'll talk to the doctor who led the evacuation. it started long ago.unce] it's called passion. and it's not letting up anytime soon. at unitedhealthcare insurance company, we understand that commitment. so does aarp,

9:28 pm
here in new york at the very height of the superstorm, a harrowing evacuation of a manhattan hospital. scores of patients including newborn children and children in intensive care taken out of the nyu langone medical center after backup generators failed.
9:29 pm
with me now is dr. brett rudin from the pediatric department. and andrew rubin is the vice president of clinical affairs and affiliates. welcome to you both. what an extraordinary night that must have been for you. let me start with you, if i may, dr. rudy. you and your team, if i get this right, 64 of your patients were evacuated in the middle of the night to mount sinai. 1,200 staff working through the night with 100 volunteers. but it's who they were helping that really i guess catches the eye. four newborns on respirators carried down nine flights of stairs as nurses manually squeezed the bags to get air to these babies. how are they all doing is the obvious question now, i guess? >> well, i think we -- by great teamwork and by really focusing on patient safety all of the children were transported safely and made it to the receiving hospitals without any incident, which is what we were intending to do. >> ten mothers went to mt. sinai, two of whom gave birth during the night. three were in labor.
9:30 pm
this is a very dangerous situation. i mean, my wife gave birth last year. i couldn't imagine anything worse than in the middle of the night your baby being rushed on a respirator with nurses manually squeezing bags, because the adult respirators had batteries, through the middle of the night in a hurricane to another hospital. i mean, have you ever had anything like this? >> i have to say this is the first time but we have highly trained staff, so we're always prepared for any emergency with any baby, so every staff is trained to be able to bag a baby in order to keep them well aerated and oxygenated, and that's why through the use of our very highly trained nurses, physicians and assistants we were able to get all these babies to the receiving hospitals very, very safely. >> are you confident now that everyone's going to be okay as a result of all the moving that went on last night? >> yes.
9:31 pm
we did a very careful review of every patient before we transported them out. we had, as i said, a very skilled team of physicians, nurses and, as you pointed out, many, many volunteers from throughout the medical center that actually helped us through this process, and we made it through without any significant incidents for any of the patients. >> andrew rubin, you are v.p. of the medical center, clinical affairs and affiliates. and the obvious question it seemed to me last night and remains so now, is how could a busy new york hospital have its backup generators fail when it's had a week at least to prepare for what everyone was saying was going to be a storm of huge magnitude? >> first, before i answer that, let me just say how proud i am to work for nyu langone medical center, where we have physicians like dr. rudy and staff and nurses and volunteers and the new york city fire department and the police department who did in an extraordinary effort in incredibly difficult circumstances evacuating all our patients in 12 hours safely. it is a miracle. they did a terrific job.
9:32 pm
we are a massive huge complex. we have many generators. they are tested all the time. this was an unbelievably powerful storm. many, many things happened that were really beyond anyone's control and that's what just happened. it's a very unfortunate set of circumstances but thank god we have such an incredible team of people who were able to do heroic work. right now we're assessing all of our infrastructure. our goal is to get back online as soon as possible. our patients, our staff, our doctors want to get back to work, so priority number one right now is assess the infrastructure. our buildings are safe, but assess the infrastructure, see what damage was done. we had ten feet of water, 12 feet of water in our basement. and get the hospital back up and running. get our doctor offices back up and running. >> what we're hearing is that trustees and indeed some board members had raised concerns about these generators and it
9:33 pm
does seem baffling, as i say, that a new york busy hospital like this could end up having to ferry newborn babies in the middle of a hurricane up and down manhattan simply because a hospital like yours with all its facilities and all its resources, couldn't get a generator to work. is there some big investigation going on now? >> well, you know, i really didn't come on to talk about the generators, but i can tell you that our generators, we have many, they are tested all the time and in full compliance with all, you know, federal and state regulations and quite frankly prudence tells us to test them all the time. our generators were working. this was an unprecedented storm -- >> but they weren't working, were they? >> well, they failed. >> when you say failed, they weren't working, were they? >> they started working, then when the storm waters seeped up the river, things happen with some of the generators. and it was a terribly unfortunate event. but again, the focus here is we got the patients out safely. the staff did a terrific job. we're very, very pleased with
9:34 pm
the outcome and now we're in recovery mode to get the medical center back up and running. >> i understand why it's your focus, but obviously i think the focus i would imagine for the mothers involved last night will be very much what the hell was going on, why were we having to be moved because of faulty generators. the question i would want to know from the hospital if i was involved in any way is how do you have any confidence this won't happen again? >> well, again, i'm not an engineer and i'm not really here to talk about the generators but i can tell you we have a wonderful institution, great buildings, very, very well-running generators. we had an unprecedented storm with an extraordinary amount of water overtaking the city and we [had some problems with those generators. >> mr. rubin, and if i may say, dr. rudy, you and your team last night did an extraordinary job. i think everyone is incredibly grateful, not least of all the mothers of those babies as they were being shipped around. they owe you a great debt.
9:35 pm
thank you for your service last night. >> thank you very much. i do have to say, to reiterate, we had an amazing group of individuals at nyu langone from the most senior administration down to all the aides and the medical students, the residents, the physicians and the nurses that all pitched in to make this a successful effort in a very unfortunate situation. >> and we're going to get to all of our patient and let them know we're back on line as soon as we can. >> let's hope the generators get fixed. thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. new york mayor michael bloomberg called sandy historic. the superstorm has been deadly and disruptive across new york city. with me now on the phone, the city council speaker, christine quinn. christine, how are you? >> i'm okay. how are you guys doing? >> we speck last night in the middle of all this mayhem. >> yes. >> let me start with the hospital, nyu. because i found the answers there pretty unsatisfying, i must say. the focus to me should very much
9:36 pm
be on the generators and how a backup generator to a major new york hospital could fail. what do you think of this? >> i mean, i think there are obviously enormous questions that nyu needs to answer. now, i understand why they cannot give us those answers today, because they need to get the hospital back up and running. but they are questions that have to be answered. you know, we were assured, we being the city, that the hospitals within zone "a" had the capacity to get patients on vents out before the storm, stop taking in anything that was not emergency procedures, and that they had sufficient backup generators. that was the representation that they made to the city. why that didn't happen at a very significant institution -- do you know what i mean? this is not a small neighborhood hospital. not that it would be okay there. but i think you get my point.
9:37 pm
is a big question. but it's obviously going to be very high on all of our lists to get an answer to once we -- as we move forward because it cannot -- >> we need some answers. >> thank god, everyone made it. i want to echo the doctor's thanks to the staff and the fire and police but there's an underlying question here that has to be answered. >> i totally agree. let's move on to a couple things. one is the crane which is only three blocks away from cnn here, on 57th street. it's 157, this 90-story building which is going to be the tallest residential building. watching pictures of it here tonight, still dangling. it's an 80-ton arm that's dangling 1,000 feet in the air over a densely populated area of manhattan. mayor bloomberg says the crane is stable and will eventually strap with the boom to the building so it should be safe and the streets can be reopened. is that your understanding? >> my understanding was that's on a list of questions to be answered, too, as we get into the next couple of days. what i have been told is that
9:38 pm
it obviously stayed up, that they couldn't go up and do more earlier when the winds were higher but that they believe it is in a stable position and that they will get up there soon to fully brace it down. >> finally, very quickly, if you don't mind, i'm told that tonight there's been a decision on the airports, jfk and newark will both be partially reopened tomorrow. laguardia is flooded and will still stay closed. have you heard that? >> i just got that notification as well, that jfk and newark will partially open tomorrow and that laguardia is still flooded. obviously people need to check very closely with their carriers but i did get that information as well. whether it's somebody without power, the subways or the airport, everybody is moving as efficiently as they can to get everything back up and running. our bridges are back open, our buses are running, power is beginning to roll back on, and
9:39 pm
what i will say is we have just a ton of city workers working around the clock to get everything back up and running as quickly as we can. we're lucky there was such good preplanning, that we closed the subways, that we cowered down the part of con edison because that prevented us from being in a worse situation. >> i think the preparation was terrific and the work since it happened has been terrific too. christine quinn, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. bye. coming up next, a small town underwater after a levee breaks. the mayor joins me live. to the gas station am probg about once a month. last time i was at a gas station was about...i would say... two months ago. i very rarely put gas in my chevy volt. i go to the gas station such a small amount that i forget how to put gas in my car.

9:43 pm
breaking news on hurricane sandy. we go now to mayor mauro raguseo of little ferry, new jersey. a town completely flooded after a levee broke last night. he joins me by phone. mr. mayor, thank you for joining me. >> good evening, piers. >> your town has 10,500 people. you have been hit very, very hard. astounding flooding we have seen there in the last 24 hours. here's the big question, i guess. the town was not under an evacuation or flood warning, i understand, so how and why do you think this happened? >> absolutely.
9:44 pm
we were informed at around 2:00 a.m. by e-mail while we were sitting at oem headquarters, the police station, that there was a levee break in moonachie in the meadowlands area. and that would explain to us the incredible surge of water that just absolutely overtook us. but we have many, many questions. and i'm going to demand answers. i'm told the army corps of engineers will be in again tomorrow to do further inspection. and one thing is for certain, that this can never happen again. as the meadowlands was developed, flooding became more and more prevalent through the years, and the federal and state government will have to do more. they're going to have to make major improvements to that levee and drainage system in the area because the status quo is just absolutely unacceptable. it's going to be a good thing. but we need to make an equal amount of investment in our drainage and levee systems. because my town has been devastated. >> i understand that you yourself have been one of the victims. you bought a house six months ago which has been lost to the flooding, is that right?
9:45 pm
>> absolutely. i got married six months ago and my wife and i moved into a house in the borough that i've lived in for 25 years and made improvements and it was absolutely devastated the other day. my wife was at home while i was at borough hall, manning the desk with the oem council and i got a call that was horrifying. she was just screaming because water was coming in from everywhere. and just the current in the room was just spinning out of control. and she had to be evacuated. it was the most horrifying experience of my life. and i wasn't home, i was at borough hall. and luckily, she's safe. but my house has been devastated. but i'm just so glad that -- and so happy, so thankful that she's okay. >> yeah. well, i echo that sentiment completely. please send her our very best. tell me this. people in your position who have lost their homes to this flooding, are you completely covered by insurance or is there an act of god clause with these
9:46 pm
things which limits some of the payouts? how does it work in reality? >> well, we're going to try to figure this out in the next couple days. i'm hopeful that fema will be helpful. in towns like little ferry along the hackensack river, many homes are required to have flood insurance but i'm told that that may not cover what's inside, the contents, and that may just deal with structural issues. of course, you're supposed to have homeowners insurance as well and we do, but these questions remain to be answered. i'm hoping that when fema sets up shop soon they'll be able to discuss all the options with many of my residents. 640 who have been evacuated, who actually were rescued today by the swift water team and our volunteers here in little ferry. 640. >> amazing. it's a terrific rescue effort going on there. i congratulate you and your staff. thank you very much for joining me.
9:47 pm
>> thank you, piers. i just want to thank all the volunteers again and ev for all their help from the county executive, county oem, sheriff's department, state, federal, the governor's office, and all the people in little ferry who have come together. we may be a small town but we got big heart. and we'll get through this. >> i certainly echo that sentiment again. our very best wishes to you. thank you very much. with the election just one week away, election, we've barely mentioned it for two days now, we'll take a look at what this storm means for the white house race. a crash management system and the world's only tridion safety cell which can withstand over three and a half tons. small in size. big on safety. everyone in the nicu, all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days.

with the blackish-blue frame and the white dots and the splattered paint pattern, your lights are on. what? [ male announcer ] the endlessly customizable 2013 smart. president obama visiting the red cross today. much of the east coast battered by sandy a week before the election. nate, welcome back. >> thank you. >> been an extraordinary few days for the election campaign. who would have thought the week before an election that it would all disappear off the news agenda. but obviously, hurricane sandy took over. my instinct for this, watching it all, is that president obama gets a lot more air time as the incumbent president in a time of national disaster and he seems to have done a pretty good job. chris christie, mitt romney's
9:52 pm
right-hand buddy, has been out there today saying what a great job he's been doing. >> sure. >> that has to be good for him, doesn't it? >> well, we have to see how the cleanup goes and if obama makes a mistake later on. but i would agree usually in the short run a crisis environment tends to help the incumbent president. and the fact is we only have the short run now, so if there's fallout in the long term then it might occur after he were elected. i still think voters are mostly basing this on the economy. maybe you have 1% of voters who are out there undecided. so it's an interesting event, but look, if romney had it in the cards to win before i'm not sure it would shift things enough against him. >> and also it still comes down to swing states and in many of those what may be more important for candidates is the inability to get to places like ohio in the last few days. >> sure, romney spending time in ohio, and that's where this election comes down to. where the average poll has obama up by 2, 2 1/2, 3 points in ohio. you go back through history, how candidates overcome leads like, that it's actually pretty hard.
9:53 pm
a small lead, but when you have so few undecided voters left, a third of the state already voted and turned out, it's pretty challenging right now and that's romney's biggest hurdle, entirely ohio. >> you've been described as a potential one-term celebrity pollster. how did you react? you are a bit of a rising superstar. but of course if you get it wrong you've got obama 75% chance of winning. if he was to lose now, lu resign? what happens to pollster experts like you? >> well, this is why we give probabilities. earlier this week there was a weather forecast lower said there was a 30% chance that hurricane sandy would be bad enough to flood the new york subway system. now, to me that seems look a very prescient prediction where he warned people days in advance there was a chance of this occurring. we give mitt romney a 38% chance of becoming president as new york this week. . a 30% chance will come up quite a bit. i think some of the critics i've had are not very good at doing math and probability. in politics people tend either
9:54 pm
toward 100-0 explanations, i.e. one side is always right, or everything is 50-50. and the real world exists on the margin where things are not 50-50 and not certain. i think if obama has an edge in the polls -- >> are you seeing anything in any polls in the last 24 hourksz has there been any in fact, which suggests that the hurricane as a disaster has any impact yet? >> it's too early to say because a number of the more reputable pollsters suspended their polling because of the hurricane. so we might learn a lot, say, on thursday and friday but for right now i think we shouldn't make too much of noise when -- by the way, a lot of people are out of power, too. so you could have some helpful effects but also you can't reach people in new york state, for example. they tend to be democrats, and they wouldn't appear in the polls as much. >> nate silver, thank you very much. >> thank you. coming up next, where the superstorm is heading next. it's already causing a massive amount of snow in west virginia. a storm chaser joins us live with the latest.ma ook pro,

2008 Hoping to Connect to Evangelical Voters, Huckabee Looks to the Barn
posted by January 17 at 10:50 AMon
Posted by Ryan S. Jackson
I'm kind of struggling with why there seems to be such a direct, knee-jerk enthusiasm amongst evangelical candidates to always use some kind of analogy involving barnyard sex:
QUESTIONER: Is it your goal to bring the Constitution into strict conformity with the Bible? Some people would consider that a kind of dangerous undertaking, particularly given the variety of biblical interpretations.
HUCKABEE: Well, I dont think thats a radical view to say were going to affirm marriage. I think the radical view is to say that were going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again. I think the radical position is to make a change in whats been historic.
It's also kind of sad to see Huckabeewhose initial campaign approach seemed to be a kind of folksy, Christian brand of post-partisanshipfinally hit the levels I knew in the back of my mind he'd probably hit when it was time to reach out to the evangelical base. The question would now seem to be: With only two days to go before South Carolina, can he go lower than insinuations of horse fucking?

Advertisements, mass production, sacrificing quality for time and quantity, the desire for bigger and better, these are the problems of commercialism. Commercialism has been advancing nearly unnoticed by most consumers even since Babylonian times. But, what makes it harmful enough to be explained in a paper?
Everyday we sit in our homes desiring goods and services that we do not need or may not even want, and discussing issues that have little or no importance to our lives other than to make small talk. Everyday we work hard to buy stuff that is better or at least equal to what society considers normal. As our former president Herbert Hoover even stated prior to the Great Depression, what he would have liked to see in every American household is "Two cars in every garage" (The American President: Herbert Hoover, 2002). We are fashioning ourselves to be boringly equal cogs in one giant corporate machine, and in turn, are losing our culture to business and propaganda. When a new "hipper" culture appears, commercialists explode the culture across the United States like a plague. What average adult would not know what a skateboard is, what reggae music is, or what Middle East tension is. We have all been commercialized by the news, advertisements, and businesses, for which we are sacrificing our beliefs, traditions, and everyday things that classifies us as humans. What is stopping future generations from becoming overweight, non-constructive, violence-promoting couch potatoes, who only move to grab something to eat or to procreate? Our society is training us to become such objects, and something must be done.
If lack of culture is not enough, think economics, nearly all products are focused towards the average consumer, or "all individuals or households that want goods and services for personal consumption or use and have the resources to buy them" (Nickels, McHugh, J., & McHugh, S., 2002, p. 409). This means that no matter how ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Carl Crawford is en route from Oklahoma City to Atlanta, where the Dodgers begin a three-game series Monday, and will be activated from the disabled list sometime over the next two days. Crawford hasn't played since April because of a strained oblique muscle.
In eight rehab games at Triple-A Oklahoma City, Crawford had 11 hits in 30 at-bats, including two doubles, a triple and a home run. Crawford had four plate appearances with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga too, giving him 36 total.
Crawford's return will give the Dodgers a glut of outfielders. Kiké Hernandez, Alex Guerrero and Scott Van Slyke are already backing up starters Andre Ethier, Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said the corresponding roster move is still being discussed.

We don't need to tell you anything about The Expendables 3, and if you've seen the first two installments, then you don't need us to tell you anything, either. Instead, this teaser trailer, which features zero footage from the actual movie, shows it all… in the form of a massive lineup of its cast. That's why you're showing up, and this is who you are showing up to watch. Everything else is just, well, expendable.
Check it out below. The Expendables 3 hits theaters on August 14, 2014.

I am at a wedding showing the man sitting next to me how I can touch my nose with my tongue. I am here as a plus-one and, as I don't really know anyone, I can't think of anything else to do.
I've deposited the children with various friends, so I am allowing myself to get gradually but determinedly drunk.
The woman next to him then says she can waggle her ears. The man opposite can alternately raise eyebrows.
A crowd starts gathering. One woman with amazingly blue eyes reveals her double-jointed fingers; another man says he can pick his nose with his tongue. He is about to show us when we hear the sound of a spoon being rapped against a glass. We all pour ourselves more wine and settle down as the best man gets up.
Twenty minutes later we're still listening to the speech. It started at the birth of the groom and it has only got to the time he got locked in a classroom at primary school. 'We've the rest of his life to get through – and he's 47,' the man next to me groans.
I look around the marquee. Two women at the end table duck down, lift the tent flap and crawl out, followed by more people. 'Oh, come on,' says the woman opposite, the one with the very blue eyes.
She grabs my hand and leads me out. When we get outside she sinks down on to a seat. We are almost giddy with excitement. I sit down next to Blue Eyes. 'You have a lovely eyes,' I tell her, slurring a bit.
'Thank you,' she says, a flash of emotion passing across her face. Then she tells me she's had the worst two years of her life since her marriage broke down. By the end of it we are both almost in tears.
'And I'm scared and on my own and I'm never going to meet someone else,' she says.
'You'll find happiness,' I say. But Blue Eyes isn't listening. She has cocked her head. 'Ssh,' she says. 'The speech has stopped. What happened?'
Everyone looks around in wonder. That's when I see him, the builder my friend Eliza sent to fix my house a month ago. He is standing next to the tent, triumphantly holding a plug in the air. And suddenly everyone starts clapping.

Last Year: 8-4
Coach: Greg Gothard
Players to Watch: TE/LB Jake McGuire, QB/LB Ty Richardson, OL/DL Creed Wright, WR/DB Allen Beck, LB/FB Kelton Brown
Team Preview: The expectations are always high in Velma Alma as head coach Greg Gothard enters his 25th season roaming the Comets sidelines. He'll look to continue the Comets playoff run with another strong season. He's got some quality kids on the offensive line, most notably Creede Wright and Chris Lockwood. Ty Richardson will be under center at QB, and he'll have big target to throw to in tight end Jake Mcguire. A lot of players working double duty for the Comets, including Mcguire, who will line up at the linebacker position, as well as Wright, who will be a critical part of the Comets defensive line. This team has some of the key pieces necessary for a good season in a tough district.

By Mr. Patrick Buffett (IMCOM)February 12, 2014
FORT LEE, Va. (Feb. 12, 2014) -- Faith is among the most common denominators among deployed military personnel, according to Chaplain (Col.) Charles Egert, Combined Arms Support Command and senior U.S. Army Garrison Fort Lee chaplain.
"My conclusion after 29 years of active duty," he said, "is that of all people, Soldiers are the most religious. They may cuss God when they're in a fire-fight for allowing such violence and wickedness, but usually, they're asking Him to be with their family if they don't make it home. They're praying for their battle buddy on the right or left, and probably most importantly, they're praying for courage to do their duty. Last and I would say this is probably least, they pray for a quick death if this is to be their moment."
Those remarks were made during Egert's keynote address at Fort Lee's National Prayer Breakfast observance on Feb. 6 at the Lee Club. Nearly 300 community members attended the event. Many of the installation's senior leaders were among them.
The program opened with pre-ceremony music by a five-member horn ensemble from the 392nd Army Band. During the morning meal, the Osborne Brothers -- a Christian rock-pop group from Atlanta -- performed.
Egert's keynote address focused on spiritual resiliency, one of the "five pillars of comprehensive Soldier fitness." The other four are physical, emotional, social and family resilience.
"In my five deployments to Somalia, Haiti and Iraq," Egert said, "I have noticed that troops always pray downrange. They pray before they go on a mission, and they pray that they will make it back from a mission. … They may not show up at chapel, but I have never seen a Soldier turn down prayer from a chaplain."
The National Prayer Breakfast observance has become a highly valued tradition "from the halls of Congress and the Pentagon, to the 50 state capitals and all over the military," he said.
"There are several reasons why we gather for times like this. (It is an opportunity for) leaders to acknowledge their dependence on God (and) their need for divine wisdom in carrying out their duties," Egert observed.
After speaking briefly on the 60-year history of the observance, the colonel encouraged the audience to not wait for special occasions like a prayer breakfast or church services on Sunday to go to the Lord in prayer. It can serve as a source of strength, he said, and it helps even the most harried individuals find peace in the knowledge that they're not going it alone.
"Let me tell you this morning that your Soldiers -- your Marines, Sailors and Airmen -- are watching you," Egert said. "They're learning from you what leadership is and what character is all about. They know you're human. They know you'll make mistakes. But they expect you to be trustworthy, to have integrity, to be fair and to lead by example. What you do will inspire them day after day and will set them on a path to success. When they see you meet your challenges head on without losing your cool, they'll be motivated to do the same."
There are two great moments in every person's life, Egert also noted. That's the day they were born and the day they find out why they were born. "When Soldiers live with purpose; when they know that their life is the Lord's gift to them and that they are here for a reason, they will think of their duty to God and country. They will remember their families and loved ones. They'll live for a bigger purpose than themselves."
The breakfast concluded with remarks by Maj. Gen. Larry D. Wyche, CASCOM and Fort Lee commanding general. He too encouraged the audience to not underestimate the power of prayer and said that awareness of today's key issues like support of Gold Star Families and suicide awareness and prevention is important to mission success.
"I recently asked (my staff) to get a couple of figures for me … one of them was the number of sustainers we had lost in combat (since the global war on terrorism began)," Wyche said. "I was expecting 200 or 300 but, when they gave me the numbers, I stared at the paper in awe. We have lost 893 sustainers and logisticians. I really didn't know what to say, but my heart poured out to those family members. I'm asking you to continue praying for those individuals. … This is something they'll live with for the rest of their lives."
When Fort Lee loses a military member to suicide or a senseless accident, Wyche also noted, it's a reflection on leadership. "I think we have to look at ourselves in the mirror and say, 'what could I have done to prevent that?'
"One of the things I said in my incoming speech (when he took command of CASCOM) is that we will work hard to make sure Fort Lee is the best place to work and live in our great Army," Wyche said. "And every time we lose a Soldier, spouse or child, I say to myself 'I'm disappointed in the team as the quarterback of the team.' And that bothers me.
"So, I'm asking each and every one of you this morning, let's make a conscientious effort to protect the team. We have to do it together or we'll never get there," the commander said. "The leadership of the organization will work hard to give you the resources and everything you need to protect the team, but we can't do it without being a team. So I ask each and every one of you to reach out and find out what's going on in your areas and let's effect change. I truly believe in my heart that Fort Lee is the best installation in the United States Army because we have the best people in the world to lead it."
