Soon, there may be a new king of late night. His identity may surprise some people -- Jimmy Kimmel.
To understand why that might be a surprise, one must consider the history of late-night television.
In the early days, there was "The Tonight Show," (with various name changes over the years, but essentially the same show) hosted in 1954 by Steve Allen, who gave way in 1957 to Jack Paar, who in 1962 stepped aside for arguably the greatest late-night talk-show host in history, Johnny Carson, who retired in 1992. Dick Cavett wasn't bad. Later, David Letterman grabbed younger viewers who could stay up later than Carson's crowd. But Carson was still the man.
In the meantime, a number of pretenders on other networks came and went: Joey Bishop, Alan Thicke, Arsenio Hall, Chevy Chase (brrr), Magic Johnson (even more brrr), Craig Kilborn, the underrated Craig Ferguson and on and on.
Then came the drama of Jay Leno succeeding Carson over Letterman (prompting a book and TV movie); Letterman's move to CBS to directly challenge Leno at 11:35 p.m.; controversies over exclusive guest bookings; Leno stepping aside for Conan O'Brien, then shoving O'Brien back out of the chair and onto another network. Late-night contained more drama than daytime soaps.
Now Leno is stepping aside once again. Next year, he will hand his show to Jimmy Fallon, who's moving up an hour from the slot Letterman once occupied. The biggest chair on late-night TV soon will belong to Fallon, which in the eyes of some anoints him as the new king.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Kimmel has spent a decade improving his chops (and his ratings) for ABC on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," biding his time ...
With all that shuffling going on at NBC, and some wondering what happens when Letterman (who is Kimmel's hero) retires, Kimmel is poised to make a serious run at becoming the champ of late-night TV.
Whether you like Kimmel or not, it's difficult not to give him credit for not only improving, but understanding where the late-night game is headed. Using social media to circulate a hilarious fake video of a young woman apparently setting herself on fire while twerking was genius, garnering more than 13 million page views (as of four weeks later) and prompting news outlets to scramble over themselves to report on what they believed was the worst twerking video ever. (The timing was perfect, as Miley Cyrus had just made "twerking" a household word.)
And just when that story ran its course, Kimmel inserted himself into the news cycle for a few days, admitting it was a hoax and that he was behind it. It showed a mastery of how to use social media to keep the public talking about him -- and his show.
Perhaps not as calculated, Kimmel struck again last week, using two children to re-enact a bizarre Kanye West interview, which so enraged West -- one of the most popular entertainers on the planet -- he fired off a series of angry tweets about Kimmel, which the late-night host gleefully read on his show. The media was all over the "feud," and once again everyone was talking about Jimmy Kimmel.
Even before this last spate of stunts, Kimmel had improved enough that ABC extended his contract in January and bumped "Nightline" -- an ABC stalwart for more than 30 years -- back to 12:35 a.m., allowing Kimmel to move up to 11:35 p.m. and compete against the big boys: Letterman and Fallon. That's a major display of confidence.
Fallon has the built-in ratings, and Letterman has the name. But Letterman won't be around forever, and Fallon needs to bring his "A" game. In another year or two, the late-night gold standard may be laughing his way to the bank over at ABC.

sage has alot to live up to tonite
Austin. TX the Creative Diff. tour blew the roof off last night. So much in fact the fire dept had to come shut it down, before LL even got finished performing. The police got up on stage a tried to tell everyone to leave, but the crowd threw bottles, so the officer busted out the pepper spray. That started a massive rush for the back out the door. The club mercury is pretty small now, and a few people, the unlucky ones who like the stand in the front got a face full and deperately scrambled through the crowd. Lucky I was standing in the back by the video games watching eyedea and abilities try to spit game at some hot chick. Very wild night, very good performances as well. Can't wait to see the new E&A cd drop. Can't wait to see Sage tonite.

I would say you blew away anyone I saw on friday night. I wish there would have more acts, but your performance itself was way beyond my expectations. I'd say one of the best performances I've ever seen. EVER. the only thing that you needed would have been some turntables and a dj, but i also like the fact that it was 'not' a hip-hop show. and that there were no punk ass scensters trying to see who owns more scarves.
thanks sage

Comedians often aim their jokes at conservatives, but not this time. Comedian Jim Norton attacked Al Sharpton, host of MSNBC's "Politics Nation," and his network for hypocritically promoting racial and homophobic vitriol.
Norton criticized Sharpton and MSNBC while on Nov. 19's HuffPostLive. He claimed that MSNBC exhibits a double standard where they accept certain offensive behavior by individuals such as Sharpton, but censor contributors like Alec Baldwin. He also attributed a similar hypocrisy to Hollywood's conception of political correctness. Continue reading

About the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria
Helping Animals, Supporting Community
Since 1946, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria has been a resource for our community and a shelter for homeless animals. Through adoptions, spay and neuter assistance, education and community service and outreach, the League plays a key role in promoting responsible pet care across Northern Virginia. The League has contracted with the City of Alexandria to provide animal care, control and sheltering services since 1989. As part of our contract with the City, we operate the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter, an open-admission facility accepting any and all animals brought to us. We have made a commitment that if an animal is in need, we will provide the care that every animal so richly deserves.
We place more than 1,300 companion animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, iguanas, chinchillas and many more, in permanent, loving homes each year. An additional 300 stray pets are reunited with their owners through the League annually. Our specially-trained staff also assist area wildlife that have been injured or are in distress—with the ultimate goal of releasing them back into their natural habitat or transferring them to licensed wildlife rehabilitators for care and eventual release.
The League has a vibrant volunteer corps of 200 animal lovers who support our 40+ full and part-time professional staff. In everything we do, League staff and volunteers demonstrate that love and compassion are just as important as food and water for the animals in our care.

Pages 6 - 10 of 159

|156-159 >>
1 MR IRVING: I can do that now, my Lord. Quite simply, we
2started posting the digital transcript on the internet as
3a public service, totally non-profit making at all,
4I derive only loss from that. The court reporters quite
5rightly said there is a property question at issue here.
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, a copyright question, yes.
7 MR IRVING: It is between one instructing firm of solicitors
8and the court reporters. It is in a kind of limbo between
9them. I have made a cash offer to them over a week ago
10now on a per day basis. They have not come back to me,
11and I am being disadvantaged.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
13 MR IRVING: Because clearly ----
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think I understand the problem, although
15I suspect one may have to go into it a bit more deeply,
16but I am anxious if you are not getting the digital
17transcript because, although it is not all that easy to
18follow, I found it perfectly possible to make use of.
19Mr Rampton, do you know anything about this or do you not
20want to get involved?
21 MR RAMPTON: No. Strictly speaking, it is none of our
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Except you are paying for it so, presumably,
24you have some sort of right over it.
25 MR RAMPTON: I know we are paying for Mr Irving to have a
26transcript for the purposes of the case, the conduct of
1his claim against us. I guess what has happened is that
2he has been using the transcripts, in all innocence, no
3doubt -- I say that without knowing anything -- for some
4other purpose.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, just putting them on his website.
6 MR RAMPTON: That is an infringement of the transcribers'
8 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, I would have thought it might be.
9 MR RAMPTON: And to do that, you would need to pay for a
10licence to do it, I guess what has happened.
11 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Mr Irving, so we do not take too long over
12this, my view would be that it is highly desirable that
13you should continue to have the digital transcript and
14I do not understand Mr Rampton to oppose that, but the
15price may be, if that is the right term, that you should
16not put it on your website because I think, technically,
17that is an infringement of their copyright.
18 MR IRVING: Until we reach an agreement.
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I mean, if you can reach an agreement, well
20and good, and I can see in some ways it might be desirable
21that it should go on the website if you want publicity
22for ----
23 MR IRVING: Well, it has attracted great attention and I am now
24being bombarded with E mails from around the world. Some
25people are accusing me of keeping it off the internet
26because it is unfavourable to me and all sorts of dubious
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, if you were to offer to -- I cannot
3remember the name of the firm but if you were to
4offer ----
5 MR IRVING: Harry Counsel.
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, Harry Counsel, that you will undertake
7not to put it on your website, unless and until some
8agreement is reached, but would they please in the
9meantime let you have the digital transcript, I would hope
10that they would say yes to that.
11 MR IRVING: I am happy to give that undertaking here.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: If there is a problem, let me know, but
13I have expressed my wish and that may not count for much
15 MR IRVING: But it means that for three weeks I have had no
16digital transcript which has ----
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, you should have mentioned it perhaps
18before now but you have mentioned it now and ----
19 MR IRVING: Well, I have negotiated, or attempted to negotiate,
20and met with no response.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes. Is there any way of avoiding you having
22to go all the way to Duke Street? Is there somebody there
23who could put it in a taxi?
24 MR IRVING: My Lord, my partner is seriously ill. She is
25fighting a battle of her own.
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: If you say it is necessary, Mr Irving, I am
1perfectly content.
2 MR IRVING: I will try to be back within half an hour, my Lord.
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Let a message be passed through when you are
5 MR IRVING: Yes, thank you very much.
6 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You are happy to continue in principle?
7 MR IRVING: Yes. There is no problem.
8 (Adjourned for a short time)
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I am sorry, it seems I have added to the
10delay. My room is about as far as it can be from this
12 MR IRVING: The apologies are do you from me for this one hour
13delay. I do apologise.
14 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Before I start, could I make some statements. I just went
15through the minutes of the proceedings of Thursday and
16I would like to correct three mistakes I make, if it is
18 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think I have spotted one.
19 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] There is one on page 63, line 10, when Mr Irving suggested
20I translate the German term "verhungern" with go hungry.
21I think I did not listen carefully enough to him because
22the translation of "verhungern" is clearly to die of
23starvation or to starve to death so, if somebody is
24Verhungerte, he is dead.
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think you did actually say that. That is
26my impression.
1 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] I just wanted to make it very clear. On page 13 and the
2following pages we had a discussion on the statistics
3about the death rates in Auschwitz. I forgot to say the
4most obvious thing -- because I was surprised by this
5document, I have to say -- that these figures all relate
6to the camp population as a whole and not to the Jewish
7camp population, and you would come to complete different
8conclusions if you look at the Jewish camp population.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Which page is that?
10 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] Page 13 and the following pages.
11 Q. [Mr Justice Gray] I do not see quite where we get to the statistics on the
12pages following page 13.
13 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] We talked about the statistics and I should have said here
14first of all that these numbers are about the camp
15population, everybody in the camps, and it is not specific
16about the Jewish prisoners in the camp.
17 Q. [Mr Justice Gray] I follow that, but I cannot find where there is any
18reference to numbers.
19 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] No. We talked about the monthly death rates in the
20concentration camps.
21 Q. [Mr Justice Gray] I remember that, but that is not here.
22 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] I may be mistaken.
23 Q. [Mr Justice Gray] It is page 18.
24 A. [Dr Heinz Peter Longerich] I am sorry. The third point is on page 173 Mr Irving said
25he wanted to translate bei Freilassung with "upon release"
26and I said bei Freilassung means "if released". I should

NHBR - Jim Roche: New Hampshire's dwindling advantage
One road leads New Hampshire toward becoming just another expensive, business-hostile, northeastern U.S. state. The other road, if public policy makers choose to embrace it, will lead New Hampshire to stand alone in the Northeast as a place where advanced manufacturers and high-technology companies thrive, adding new, high-paying jobs; investing in technology and equipment; and stimulating our economy like no other sector.

Hands-free, baby. In this age of high-tech gadgetry, you don't have to actually stand by like an island and push buttons when you could be standing wherever you please with the GoPro Wi-Fi Remote. Usher in this advanced era and liberate yourself from a fixed point, especially when that could be in the mud or snow or perched in a tree with a killer view.
- Range is up to 600ft, for tons of mobility or precarious, faraway placement
- Simple design features power-mode and shutter buttons for easy use, even while wearing gloves
- Durable construction operates in wet, snowy, muddy, weather for recording whatever dirty sport you're into
- Includes rechargeable Li-ion battery, removable key ring, and charging cable, so you're ready to go right out of the box

Easy to use and charges fast
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great to use when you are on a solo mission to get the shot.
Great addition
This thing works wonders, makes using the camera even easier. Only issue is and seems to be with most GoPro items is the battery life, could be a little better but still gets the job done.
Absolute must have
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Before we got this we were using the Go Pro app on our phones when out filming on the trails. Problem was, our phones kept going dead because it was a huge strain on the battery. This little remote works great!
Where are the newly released smart remotes, when will you have them in stock?
Great product!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I used it to connect to my GoPro Hero4 and it worked really great!!! I like how I can wear it on my wrist which makes it much easier to control. One drawback is that the battery life is relatively short.
could be much nicer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Very nice addition to the camera, BUT the battery life is really short. While I can change the battery of my camera on the go and shoot during the whole day if needed, no chance of charging your Remote on the slopes. A considerable drawback for otherwise nice device.
Can't go without this!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This ease of use remote is key when you are out on the trail. You can see exactly what the camera is showing and knowing if you got the shot that you were looking for. You will really be missing out if you don't get this. Its ease of use and the ability to not have to mess around with the camera when it is in its housing is key to a solid product! Get this if you don't want to get frustrated before your adventure! I promise you won't regret it!
very helpful
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I use this a lot when I have my camera mounted on my helmet or somewhere hard to reach. The great thing about it is that it shows in the screen the exact same thing you see in the camera's screen. That way you dont have to guess if the cam is recording or not. Battery lasts for around 3 camera charges, which is kind of good. Buying the black version is worth it just because of this remote.
The Remote
Kind of a waste.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Its not bad mine came with the camera. I just use my phone. It just collects dust.
great addition for the GoPro!
Awesome way to control your gopro without asking your buddy to see if its on! haha If you have the hero 3 this will work out of the box if you have the hero 2 you need the wifi pac. I have the hero 2 and it does drain the battery which is the downside and why i gave it 4 stars. Waterproof and durable for your wrist while skiing or doing whatever you do with the gopro!
Super nice when you can't reach!
This remote was extremely helpful when I put my HERO2 on the front of our raft and my kayak! Works for all three editions of the HERO3 too!
go-pro wifi remote!!
My husband loves it, first day out snowmobiling with it today! Only downside was he needed to buy the backpack as his Hero2 wasn't the wifi one, but its awesome, easy to use with gloves on while playing out in the snow!!
I have the original Gopro Hero HD. Is the...
I have the original Gopro Hero HD. Is the Wifi Bacpac attachment for sale on backcountry.com? I do not think this remote will work on my gopro camera without that attachment.
If I'm not mistaken you will need the wifi kit with the wifi BacPac to enable wireless on the original HD Hero

PALOS HEIGHTS, Ill. (AP) -- Hundreds of law enforcement officials packed into a Palos Heights church to remember a 28-year-old Illinois State Police Trooper who was killed in a fiery wreck.
Tuesday's funeral for James Sauter drew huge crowds at Morraine Valley Church as co-workers and friends remembered Sauter's outgoing personality and big smile.
The trooper from Vernon Hills was pronounced dead last week after a semi-truck hit his squad car as it idled along the side of Interstate 294.
Sauter became a trooper in 2008.
Trooper James Sauter (SOW'-tur) was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on Interstate 294 near Northbrook Thursday night. Authorities say his car was idling on the roadway shoulder when the truck hit it from behind, causing both vehicles to burst into flames.
Visitation is scheduled for Monday at Morraine Valley Church in Palos Heights. His funeral will be held at the same church on Tuesday morning.
Sauter joined the Illinois State Police in June 2008.

Real ways to reduce poverty
February 11, 2013
State Sen. John Unger wants to do something about poor children in West Virginia....
Suttle most of what you say is true. However, Jesus won't read the article because the liberals have thrown him and his beliefs under the bus...... As far as the libs/dems are concerned Christianity has no place in todays society. In my opinion this has helped create the society we live in today.

For all the moaning and groaning that I read from the author of the article about poverty I did not see one solution or idea from him other than (between the lines) let the poor live in the streets and hunt for food in the local garbage landfill, not unlike they do in India. I don't want to live like they do in India...do you? As Christians know, we must take care of our brothers. I don't think Jesus would like this article.

My plan is simple-cut off welfare to single moms. The srews the current generation. But this will discourage the next generation from having kids just to get on welfare. Why are we the only country on the planet who reward people for making bad decisions?
5 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What is the true definition of poverty? Is it soley based on income? If a person has a smart phone and their kids have smart phones are they living in poverty? How about 4-wheelers? Cable tv? My idea of poverty is someone who does not have any of these things and does not know where their next meal is coming from.

Jackie L. Norton, 56, and Michael S. Norton, 36, both of West Plains, suffered moderate injuries in this accident east of Rolla on Interstate 44 at the 192-mile marker Monday at 4:30 p.m.
Both were taken by St. James Ambulance to Phelps County Regional Medical Center. One had injuries severe enough that authorities called for a helicopter ambulance to take the patient to a metropolitan hospital.
The helicopter was overhead but never landed, for the patient declined it, authorities said. The MSHP reported that Jackie was driving this 1999 Toyota RAV4 westbound on I-44, when the SUV went off the left side of the road and then came back onto the road.
The driver overcorrected, and the vehicle ran off the left side of the road again and became airborne before it came to a rest in the median on its top. Rolla Fire and Rescue responded to the call with a couple of fire trucks, including its new truck.

Javascript doesn't make dealing with structured data easy at all. Even when you're working with data you control, you're having to put filthy, nasty null checks and do-while descent loops everywhere. When the data is out of your control, such as data pulled from some external JSON(P) API, the problem can become more severe.
To scratch my own itch in this regard, I've created SpahQL, a query language and data manipulation library for dealing with Javascript objects.

Okay, so the traffic in wasn't too fun. Ann and I left the Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood airport in our car at 11AM. *Nine* hours later (after stopping once for lunch and supplies) we pulled into our parking/camping spot. It was really bad, but the memory has already faded in light of the other events of the weekend. I did get to see a gator poking its snout and eyes out of one of the canals beside Snake Road, so it wasn't a total loss. I'm not sure what could have been done about the traffic...when you have four lanes of interstate traffic emptying into one lane of a twisty two lane road with no breakdown lane, things are going to back up. The only solution I could see would be to make both lanes of Snake Road one way into the concert, but that would have eliminated the ability of the emergency vehicles to get anywhere.
Anyway, as we pulled into the campground, the parking dude waved me to the side; then a TV reporter and cameraman interviewed me. I said some stuff about how long I was in traffic, and that it would all be worth it and that there was no other place I wanted to be. The reporter was a brunette (I think); did any of you see me on TV? The asked me to spell my name and everything. I looked like shit after sitting in traffic that long, but I'm not that vain to *really* care.
After we set up our tent (At 2nd Ave and Amy's Farm), Ann and I decided to explore the grounds a bit. It was a little intimidating for our first view of them to be at night, and we couldn't really get our bearings. But we got to hear the soundcheck as we wandered around "The Delta" which is what they were calling the village of New Orleans style houses that were built next to the main canal through the site. The soundcheck was fun; I especially enjoyed hearing "What's The Use" from the Siket Disc. Damn good...and it was really nice to be able to hear as well as we could - much different from the Went or Lemonwheel when you can be miles away from the stage. If I get a chance, I'll scan the map of the campsite - but they way it worked was that the campgrounds surronded the venue on 2 sides of a square, insted of just extending way back in a straight line like at the air force base shows.
So we got back, and listened to Kevin spin some phat SBDs on the archives show. Now, if you only believe one sentence in this post, have it be the next one. The Bowie from Japan 99 is incredible, and should be heard AT ALL COSTS. Also, the radio station was great in every respect, and whenever Ann and I heard Mr. Sparkle, we had to laugh, being the huge Simpsons fans that we are. Mr. Sparkle, my hat goes off to you and the rest of the Thin Air team for putting a smile on my face whenever I turned on the radio.
The trash situation was pretty good all weekend, except in the concert ground. But the campgrounds came out looking much better than they typically do - giving out as many bags as they did was a smart move. great job Clean Vibes!
Ann and I decided to get some rest, but unfortunately, the 74,998 other fans didn't. So we tossed and turned through a noisy firework-laden night. But this was much better than being in traffic all night, so I don't really have any complaints.
The next day, we chilled out at the campsite, scoped out shakedown, rode the ferris wheel, watched and acrobat, participated in an archaeological dig (which was really fun, and I hope you guys did it!), and checked out the enchanted forest in the daylight. Then we headed into the venue, checked out the giant pyramid of ice and the walk-in palm-frond pac-man ghosts (after walking by the tree with the giant paper airplanes in it).
Finally, I can talk about the show. Here's the setlist:
I (1:39): Water in the Sky, Light Up or Leave Me Alone, Suzie Greenberg, Corrina Corinna, Limb By Limb, Native Greeting Song, Big Alligator Song, Possum, Farmhouse, Ghost, Ya Mar, Character Zer0
Water in the Sky? What a weird opener..."filter out the everglades"...oh yeah, I forgot about that line! I had really expected 1999 as the opener, but once I remembered the lyrics, WITS was cool. Light Up or Leave Me Alone was a HUGE surprise! And well-played too...a fun, fun cover that I hope comes back into rotation. Corrina totally confused me...I'm so used to the Dylan version. For those of you that don't know, this version shared only a few lyrics with the Dylan, and had a completely different melody. At this point I thought the weekend would be full of breakouts, but that didn't happen. Nothing else from this set really stands out, but it was clear how damn excited Trey and the Chief were when they were up on stage yapping. I've always found the afternoon sets to be a little anti-climactic - I just can't get into the groove as well, without the light show and all. There were no big jams.
II (1:35): Wilson, The Curtain > Tweezer -> Taste, Meat, Golgi Apparatus, Wolfman's Brother, Gotta Jiboo, Harry Hood, Good Times Bad Times
Wilson has become a festival standard, just because the band gets off on hearing 75,000+ people screaming "Wilson" Curtain, with its "lines going south" lyric was another easily predictible one, but I was surprised nonetheless. I *love* Curtain, and after seeing it at a ton of shows in the row in 96-97, I have missed it. The Tweezer->Taste segue was nice, as Tweezer devolved into some non-Tweezer-like jamming before entering taste came out of the chaos. The rest of the set was good, but not much above average, although Good X Bad X is one of my favorite Phish covers - I just love to hear Page belt out "I know what it means to be alone" and so does the rest of the world from the sound of the crowd.
I definitely came out of this set with high spirits but a cold body - the temperature had dropped like a rock! Ann and I went back to our tent to grab some warm clothes.
III (1:20): Chalk Dust Torture, Moma Dance, Run Like an Antelope, The Sloth, When The Circus Comes, Mike's Song > Simple -> I am Hydrogen Weekapaug Groove
E (0:10): Boogie On Reggae Woman > Tweezer Reprise
This set was by far the highlight of the first day, due to the incredible and evil Mike's Song. Kuroda pumped out more smoke than I've seen at all Phish shows combined - you couldn't see one thing onstage except an eerie red glow, as the band pumped out an angry jam that seemed to sum up (to me at least) all of the evil of the last 1000 years, as if to exorcise it and send the demons away forever. The Simple came, and reminded us of all of the fun from the last millenium, and Hydrogen, sweet Hydrogen, gave us a picture of the beauty that all of our lives should be about. Weekapaug took us back to the fun, and everyone got down with the Reggae Woman.
The night was once again crazy, but I was way more ready to deal after not sitting in traffic all day.

King Apple Parade kicks off Labor Day
Published: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 at 2:27 p.m.
A highlight of the 66th N.C. Apple Festival is the King Apple Parade, which traditionally marks the end of Hendersonville's biggest party of the year.
The King Apple Parade, sponsored by Hunter Subaru, will begin at 2:30 p.m. on Labor Day.
The parade follows a route that begins at Five Points just in front of Hendersonville High School's football stadium, goes down Main Street and ends at Barnwell Street in downtown Hendersonville.
And as in years past, there will be a float contest that centers around a theme, festival organizers said. This year's theme is "Get Your Kicks at Our 66th."
Parade float entries that best depict the theme win awards. The primary award categories are: Best Commercial Division, which means a float entry by a business or industry, and Best Nonprofit Division.
Judges look for a number of criteria in making their selections, said David Nicholson, the festival's executive director.
Among the features floats can score points for are originality, use of apples, adherence to the parade theme and visual appeal.
Most floats are designed and constructed by the groups entering them, but there are also professional floats available for lease, parade organizers said.
"Right now, we have about 25 to 30 entries for the parade, but we will probably get some more the closer it gets to the festival; we always do," Nicholson said.
If you are interested in participating in the King Apple Parade, call 828-697-4557.

What are Biologic Medicines?
What are Biologic Medicines?
03.14.13 | By
During many conversations I have had with friends, family members and new acquaintances, I've found that many people don't quite understand the difference between a biologic and a traditional chemical medicine (oftentimes found in a pill form). But who can blame them? Many people don't fully understand the difference even when they are personally affected by disease. We want medicine to make us better regardless of the form it takes.
I distinguish the two by telling folks to imagine putting together a puzzle made up of a million different pieces (biologics) compared to a smaller puzzle comprised of hundreds of pieces (chemical-derived medicines). Both are complicated to put together but one is more complex (and often more personalized) than the other.
Biologics are made up of living matter (such as human cells, bacteria and yeast) and can be comprised of up to a million atoms, compared to chemical medicine that can have less than 100 or 50 atoms.
To put this into perspective, PhRMA recently sat down with Dr. Joe Miletich, senior vice president, research and development, Amgen, to talk about the complexities involved with developing biologics and how such treatments can help patients facing complex diseases such as those outlined in our recent medicines in development report.
"For physicians and patients, the main advantages of a biologic are that something can be achieved that wasn't possible before," Joe said during the interview. He added that, "We have the increasing potential for being able to understand at a more personal level for each patient what might be the best medicine for them."

Emergency personnel responded to a double-fatality accident Thursday afternoon on Interstate 135 near southbound milemarker 63.
At 3:55 p.m. Thursday, a vehicle driven by Pamela Pierce, 56, of Hutchinson was in the driving lane on northbound I-135. She attempted to pass another vehicle, cutting in front of a vehicle driven by Kay Pautz, 69, of Alexandria. Pautz's vehicle struck the rear of Pierce's and swerved, which then caused Pautz's vehicle to roll across the median and into the southbound ditch.
Also in Pautz's vehicle was Gary Pautz, 70, of Alexandria.
Lifewatch deployed for at least one victim, but neither Kay nor Gary Pautz survived. Pierce may have been injured but was not taken to a hospital. A 3-year-old passenger in Pierce's vehicle was uninjured.

Playing golf in the Kruger Park is unusual to say the least. But for Tony Johnstone, its an opportunity of a lifetime. As he hacks his way through the bush on an epic round of golf, we discover the animals, plants and birds Tony encounters as he plays the ultimate Open. Together with his trusty sidekick and head ranger, Lazarus, we explore the incredibly diverse and fascinating wildlife of the Kruger Park in South Africa.
Jock Safari Lodge supplied the rangers, vehicles and hospitality to the production team.
Bush Hacking was produced by On Air Media, a production company based in Cape Town, South Africa. Producer, Ilana Gordon, conceived the series after realising how passionate Tony Johnstone is about wildlife. Episodes were carefully scripted. But for all the meticulous planning, nothing could have prepared the team for the surprises and unexpected wildlife they encountered.
Visit the Bush Hacking Website to view the episodes & read the entertaining behind-the-scenes information. Links below are to a few of the clips, you will find them all here
|African Rock Python - very special reasons got this snake to stick around long enough for Tony to film with it.
|Big Foot - focus on elephants, or rather, their feet!
|Chameleon - How on earth are we going to find a tiny chameleon in the Kruger Park? Needle? Haystack?
|Dropping Shots - All the dung in this episode was located exactly as you see it...

GOP misdirection hides poor record
It is fairly easy to understand why Republicans are making such a big deal out of the Benghazi attack, which left four Americans dead.
Look at the recent presidential records: Clinton took military action in Bosnia, resulting in no dead Americans and nearly complete success. Obama took military action in Libya, resulting in no dead Americans and nearly complete success. Bush took military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, resulting in thousands of dead Americans and costly, disastrous, Vietnam-like messes.
The GOP feels the need to exaggerate the trivial as a cover for the monumental.

Statehood would level negotiations
On Nov. 29, Palestine was recognized an a non-U.N. member state.
Of course Israel didn't want Palestine to obtain even a modicum of statehood -- and the U.S. in its knee-jerk obeisance follows Israel's policy without giving the idea some independent thought.
Yes, Israel has a problem with states. It can't indiscriminately bomb them, assassinate their leaders, blockade their borders, close ports, limit freedom of movement and settle their people on land that is not theirs. Palestinian statehood would surely be an inconvenience to Israel.
But it might actually move the peace process: If Palestine moved from occupied territory to statehood, there would be more equality between the negotiators.

Union plays chicken at bakers' expense
How tragic that the bakers union had to take its game of chicken to the brink with Hostess, a company that was struggling to survive and was finally driven to liquidation because the union wouldn't agree to some cut in benefits to make financial survival possible.
Now 18,000 are out of work, including many Teamsters who were not on strike. Who are the greedy, rich "millionaires" here -- the Hostess officers or the union officers? The ones who suffer the most, naturally, are the workers. Merry Christmas from the bakers union!

Israel being unfairly singled out by writer
In a recent column, "Gaza status quo won't do; peace process must begin," Eugene Robinson writes: "Israel does not have a right to keep Gaza's 2 million residents under permanent blockade."
First, the word permanent, of course, assumes that the terrorists will continue to launch Iranian missiles at Israel's citizens, because if this permanently stops, the blockade will too, in time.
Israel regularly transfers all merchandise but weapons to Gaza through Ashdod port in Israel. A great number of weapons that were hidden in the ships destined to Gaza were stopped there, at Ashdod port.
In fact, such blockades or even more severe blockades are not new, as the writer must know: They were placed against Cuba, Iran, Bosnia, North Korea, Syria and Libya, just to mention a few cases. Such a blockade, given the circumstances (weapons intended to be used against unarmed civilians) is in full compliance with international law.
Is this my imagination, or is Israel is being singled out by the writer, and if so, why?

Cap-and-trade will raise energy prices
The editorial "Auction is a turning point for California" shows enthusiasm for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which I share.
However, the editorial overstates the connection between greenhouse gases and clean air, and misunderstands that cap-and-trade is intended to raise energy prices.
The "600 facilities" that must buy permits are included in the Air Resources Board's "stationary source" category, which accounts for less than 15 percent of California's nitrogen oxide emissions. Starting in 2015, the Air Resources Board will require sellers of gasoline to buy permits for the greenhouse gas emitted when that gasoline is burned. Sellers already pass increases in crude-oil costs to drivers, and will undoubtedly pass along the cost of greenhouse gas permits.
That's the point: Seeing higher gasoline prices, drivers will use less, and emit less greenhouse gas. Many forecasts of California's greenhouse gas permit prices are in the range of $20-$50 per metric ton by 2020, equivalent to 20-50 cents per gallon at the pump.
A price increase is intended because transportation fuels account for 40 percent of California's greenhouse gas emissions. The Air Resources Board website has all the data: www.arb.ca.gov.

- Jan 9:
- State agency says it 'fell short' in protecting Castro Valley care home residents, promises reform
- Nov 25:
- State never examined Castro Valley senior homeowner's dismal record
- Nov 1:
- 911 calls: Help began to arrive at Valley Springs Manor with call that resident was having trouble breathing
- Reports show state worker left Castro Valley care facility in hands of a cook and two others
CASTRO VALLEY -- Had they known about the troubling history of Valley Springs Manor, several residents who endured its traumatic closure last week said they would not have moved into the assisted living home.
Most couldn't have known. With many ostensibly public elder care records obscured behind locked government doors, frail residents who strain to walk had little chance of uncovering the Castro Valley business owners' epic trail of health violations, fines, overdue bills and lawsuits.
"Everything seemed like roses," said Vernetta Nash, 84, of her first night in the home. "They gave us a nice little dinner, we had a little talk and we went to bed."
No one told Vernetta and Eddie Nash, when they arrived the last week of August, that the state Department of Social Services was approaching its fourth month of a meticulously recorded legal battle to revoke the residential care home's license and ban its owners from ever setting foot in such a business again.
By the time the Nashes figured that out, their life was spiraling into a humiliating nightmare.
"Things just started, one at a time, falling apart," she said. "There was feces on the wall and on the sink, rat droppings, roaches. ... It's just, it wasn't right. It just wasn't right."
The mass evacuation of the Nashes and a dozen other residents after the home's managers and all but two unpaid workers abandoned the facility on Oct. 24 has exposed fissures in the state's elder care oversight and transparency. Among the biggest questions: How can older, disabled or mentally ill residents and their families find out which homes to avoid?
Hundreds of state workers from the Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division, formed in 1985, are tasked with monitoring about 7,500 assisted living homes across California. But their evaluations often remain hidden despite rules that clearly state the findings must be publicized.
A 1998 state law, sponsored by a Los Angeles Democrat who turned 80 that year, noted that "the choice of a residential care facility for the elderly often occurs during a time of great stress" and that elders and their families often must find a facility within the span of a few days after a sudden health setback.
It ordered every assisted living home to make licensing reports viewable in a conspicuous place. The law also said each home's public file "shall be available immediately upon the request of any consumer" who visits the state's regional offices where local documents are held.
Yet in the third-floor state office on Oakland's Clay Street where the Castro Valley home's evaluations are kept -- a place reached by crossing through a security checkpoint and dialing a red phone outside a locked glass door -- a state worker denied a reporter immediate access to the case file last week, citing confidential references she said could take days to cross out. She eventually provided a copy of the Oct. 21 document ordering the home's closure.
The Nashes never had the time or inclination to get that far. Neither did Virginia Evans, whose family members trusted care home owner Hilda Manuel to watch over the disabled 69-year-old because the owner seemed pleasant.
"I met Hilda. She was nice, very businesslike," said Gregory Brooks, a nephew of Evans. Evans was unable to be interviewed and might not even remember what happened last week because of her severe short-term memory loss, Brooks said.
Also in the dark was retired construction supervisor Stan Phillips, 81, despite help from an attentive ex-wife who once worked in a skilled nursing facility.
"I'm a nurse, and I should have been aware what was going on around me, but you learn to trust people," Anita Phillips said.
Now, after days in the hospital, Stan Phillips and most of the other residents have found new and nicer places to live, but Anita Phillips said the stress has weakened a man who already suffered from heart problems.
"It's so hard to believe this could happen in the year 2013," she said. "We expected the owner to step up to the plate."
Like many of their generation, Phillips and the Nashes spent a lifetime working hard and hoped to spend their last years in modest, restful comfort. But the realities of aging also set in.
A social worker recommended that Vernetta Nash, a retired schoolteacher, and her husband, a former maintenance man, move from their Hayward apartment to a place where professional caretakers could help care for their basic needs.
Those caretakers and administrators began walking off the doomed business not long after they arrived, leaving the home "badly, badly understaffed," Vernetta Nash said.
The worst was getting stuck in a bathroom, she said.
"So I started yelling for help, and finally someone heard me," she said. "A male worker came and took me off the commode. That was so embarrassing, but that's what happened."
They also didn't know that California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform had trumpeted its "grievous warnings" beginning in February about the Manuel family's staffing and management of another beleaguered facility, Oakland's Eden Manor, that was shipping out residents -- some to Valley Springs Manor -- as a foreclosure forced the business to close.
Hilda Manuel has declined to be interviewed through her lawyer, Orrin Grover, who said the owner disputes, and is deeply upset by, allegations she did not properly care for residents at the homes. She has spent more than 25 years in the elder care business, including running convalescent homes that closed many years ago because of financial and legal problems.
Unsatisfied with the state's response to their concerns about Eden Manor, the advocacy group wrote an April letter to the state "demanding that you revoke the owner's license and never allow her to operate another facility" and asked if she had any others. The letter also claimed advocates met resistance trying to seek public files at the Oakland office, with one worker hovering over an advocate who was trying to peruse a document.
"It's a mindset," said Pat McGinnis, the reform group's executive director, in an interview Friday. "It doesn't matter if you have 50 more staff people there. You have to have a change in attitude."
Department of Social Services spokesman Michael Weston said his agency did launch, in May, the intensive proceedings required before the state can shut down the Castro Valley home and another owned by the Manuels in Modesto. Homes accused of breaking health and safety rules are allowed a lengthy appeals process to dispute the state allegations, but state workers became so concerned this fall that they ordered Valley Springs Manor's emergency closure with 72 hours notice. Their inability to ensure all the residents got out safely after revoking the license is now under internal review, Weston said.
Even neighbors of Valley Springs Manor knew to caution anyone thinking of moving there, though they were rarely consulted, despite repeatedly reporting mentally ill residents wandering off at all hours.
"They took in patients who required more care than the staff could deal with," said Lynn Railsback, who has lived across the street for 15 years. "We thought: If this is what's going on outside, then what is going on inside?"
McGinnis said something needs to be done to make sure it is easier for vulnerable residents and their loved ones to find that out.
One problem is the state offers "absolutely no information available online for consumers to use," as some other states do, McGinnis said.
"They seem to be much more of a provider protection agency than a consumer protection agency," she said. "If they're not going to be a consumer protection agency, why do we need Community Care Licensing?"

VOLUME 15 NUMBER 37 THE MONTH OF THE BITTER ROOT MAY 5, 1987 Tribes decline fishing invitation; wish protesters good luck Two of Lake County's three commissioners attempted to defy Tribal law April 24 by going fishing on state-owned property within Reservation boundaries without the required Tribal recreation permit and fishing stamp. Their plan, announced in advance to area newspapers, and radio and TV stations, didn't go according to the script, however. They weren't cited into court as they expected. Instead, they were issued complimentary three-day permits about an hour before they set out, which took the sting out of their "grandstanding", in the words of Ron Therriault. The two, Mike Hutchin and Ray Harbin, declined to accept the permits, but Tribal Chairman Mickey Pablo said that didn't matter. The permits, in the form of a letter, were valid nonetheless. Pablo said the decision not to issue citations was based on the Council's desire to not jeopardize on-going negotiations with the state on the application of Ordinance 44D. "The Tribes believe that it is premature and foolish to lock horns in protracted litigation with the state or its political subdivisions over the application and enforcement of Tribal Ordinance 44 D without first giving the discussions with the State of Montana Elders Week May 5-9 Two Eagle River School each year hosts a week of special cultural activity called Elders Week.

Everything Degan the morning of May 5 with a parent-staff training' session and some Native American games. the opportunity to run their course," Pablo noted in the permit-letter. "Why derail and disrupt these ongoing discussions by precipitating litigation?" he asked. "The Tribes are disappointed that the Lake County commissioners have opted to engage in bellicose press releases and fishing expeditions. Not only is this poor diplomacy, it could prove very costly to all parties concerned, including Lake County taxpayers and other Montana taxpayers who would have to foot the state's attorneys' fees. If necessary, the Tribes fully intend to and are capable of defending the Tribes' sovereignty in the courts - regardless of the costs. But we believe litigation should be an act of last resort, not of first resort.
