Jurors in Rapper's Trial Recall 3 Days of Heated Exchanges
By KATHERINE E. FINKELSTEIN and DAN BARRY
Published: April 12, 2001
The door to the small and spare room closed, and the 12 members of the Manhattan jury began their sworn duty by casting a first-blush vote.
The tally: eight in favor of convicting the hip-hop impresario Sean Combs of at least one charge in connection with a 1999 shooting that wounded three people in a Midtown Manhattan nightclub.
Over the next two days, though, the deliberations became confrontational and tense, suffused with racial grievance. One of the seven black jurors invoked the name of Amadou Diallo. One of the five white jurors grabbed his coat and threatened to leave, saying he was being portrayed as racist. Voices were raised, tears were shed and frequent smoking breaks were taken to let emotions cool.
On the third evening of deliberations, the emotionally spent jurors filed into the church-quiet courtroom, where the forewoman announced that the jury had found Mr. Combs and his bodyguard, Anthony Jones, not guilty of all charges, and the rap star's protégé, Jamal Barrow, guilty of assault and reckless endangerment. Their roles in a high-profile seven-week trial completed, the jurors filed out and went home in silence, having vowed to keep the story of their heated discussions to themselves.
Since the verdict almost a month ago, Mr. Combs, 31, has returned to being a fashion and entertainment mogul, changing his rap name from Puffy to P. Diddy. Meanwhile, Mr. Barrow, 21, a rapper whose popularity was on the rise, is in jail awaiting sentencing.
But the defendants were not the only ones affected by the case against them: some of those who stood in judgment of them are still grappling with the experience.
The four jurors who spoke to The New York Times say that while race emerged as an issue during deliberations, black and white jurors sat on both sides of the arguments, which included whether Mr. Combs was responsible for the gun found in his company's car and whether Mr. Barrow should be convicted for firing a gun in a fight he did not start.
Heated debate is common in jury deliberations. And in the end, three jurors say they are at peace with the verdict, which they say was based solely on the evidence. But one white juror says that he is not at peace, so much so that he says he called the prosecutor after the trial, expressing anguish that he may have violated his oath.
''For two nights I cried like a child,'' said the juror, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Another white juror, Eileen Coyle, said the acquittal of Mr. Combs ''doesn't mean we thought he was an angel.''
''I'm still sitting here saying, 'I'm not sure,' '' she added.
The 12 strangers were brought together in late January, after lawyers chose them from 150 prospective jurors to hear the competing versions of what happened in the Club New York in December 1999. On the jury were five black men and two white men, three white women and two black women. One was a federal corrections officer, another an investigator for the Taxi and Limousine Commission. One worked with autistic children, another as a peace officer at a library. Three were retired.
For the next seven weeks, these strangers sat in silence and listened to conflicting testimony that was being devoured by the international media. About the only facts on which all sides agreed were that at least one gun had been fired inside the club, and that Mr. Combs and his girlfriend, the movie star and singer Jennifer Lopez, had been passengers in a Lincoln Navigator that had sped from the scene.
After weeks of testimony and the impassioned closing arguments, Justice Charles H. Solomon of State Supreme Court instructed the jury on matters of law. And then, late on the morning of Wednesday, March 14, court officers shepherded the jurors into a small, windowless room where they would spend most of the next two and a half days.
''It affected us,'' said Ms. Coyle, 32, a former employee in the insurance industry. ''Reality's here. We're deciding this man's fate.''
The jury debate that followed reflected in part the two sides of the case presented by lawyers. The prosecutor, Matthew Bogdanos, produced several witnesses who said they saw Mr. Combs with a gun, including some who said they saw him fire it. Defense lawyers accused the witnesses of lying to strengthen their civil lawsuits against the millionaire defendant.
But the main defense lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, was on several occasions explicit about race. He argued to jurors about how dangerous and frightening it is to be black and approached by police officers with guns drawn, as Mr. Combs was.
The jurors began by taking that first 8-to-4 vote against Mr. Combs, which immediately revealed starkly different interpretations of the evidence and the race-tinged tensions to come. Then they spent the rest of the day and all of Thursday on the eight counts against Mr. Barrow, including the charge of attempted murder.
Some jurors argued that if Mr. Barrow fired his gun, he did so to protect himself. ''I thought it was self-defense,'' said Othniel Durant, 58, a black juror who works as a city tax collector. ''I don't think he intended to hit anyone.''
Others viewed that interpretation as ridiculous. ''To pull out a gun in a crowded nightclub?'' said the white juror who asked not to be identified. ''We're a country of laws.''
The early debate reflected the tensions to come.

Smyth named Oilers nominee for 2013 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy
Sunday, 04.14.2013 / 10:00 AM MT / News
By Edmonton Oilers Press Release
|Photo by Andy Devlin / Edmonton OIlers Hockey Club
The Edmonton chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association (PHWA) has named forward Ryan Smyth as the Edmonton Oilers nominee for the 2013 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.
The Masterton Trophy, awarded since the 1967-68 season, is given annually to the player "who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey". The PHWA chapters from all 30 NHL teams nominate one player from the team they cover and the winner of the award is selected by a poll among the 30 chapters of the PHWA at the end of the regular season schedule.
The 6'2", 192-pound forward is in his 18th NHL season and his 14th season with the Oilers. He has registered 10 points (2G, 8A) in 40 games this season.
The Oilers drafted Smyth in the 1st round, 6th overall, in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He ranks in several Oilers All-Time leader categories including second in games played (891), sixth in points (605), fifth in goals (286), third in power play goals (121), seventh in assists (319), fifth in hat tricks (5) and fourth in game winning goals (44).
The Banff, Alberta native has represented Canada several times internationally, most recently at the 2012 Spengler Cup, where he captained the team to a championship. He is Canada's all-time leader in games played at the World Hockey Championship and has served as Captain for six Championships (2001-05 and 2010). Captain Canada has won gold on several occasions, most notably the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Edmonton Oilers hockey is presented in part by the Rexall Family of Pharmacies, Molson Canadian, TELUS and Ford.

Seib & Wessel: What We're Reading Thursday
Recommended reading from around the Web:
By Gerald F. Seib and David Wessel
Republican lawmakers blew the chance to learn anything new about the Benghazi disaster by showboating in their approach to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Wednesday's hearings, and failed to follow up on the one new and interesting element brought to light, the administration's view of Tunisia's decision to release a suspect in the attack. [Slate]
The New Yorker's Amy Davidson sees Hillary Clinton's Benghazi hearing as "one more reflection of the deeply divergent emotions she evokes." By the end, she concludes, Secretary Clinton "looked like a woman who thought that she was stooping to appear in this venue." [New Yorker]
CNN offers five things learned from the Behngazi hearing. No. 3: Mrs. Clinton is not shying away from a fight. No. 5: Republicans aren't buying it. [CNN]
Foreign Policy's Rosa Brooks, who has written before about allowing women into combat roles, cheers Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's decision to do just that: "With this announcement, though, Panetta has ensured his place in history." [Foreign Policy]
President Obama's vow to press for solutions to climate change, probably through executive actions rather than legislation, could put the Environmental Protection Agency at the center of a political battle as Senate Republicans use the process of confirming a new head of the agency as a chance to weigh in on or block what they see as regulatory overreach. [National Journal]
The Forward profiles Treasury Secretary nominee Jacob Lew's orthodox Jewish faith and practice, calls him "the standard bearer for integration of observant Jews" into the demanding world of high-level government posts. (But he turned down the post of treasurer of his synagogue, saying its finances would be harder to manage than the nation's.) [Forward]
The French military operation in Mali has revealed strains and shortcomings in the Western security network. France and other allies need help from the U.S. because of their shortcomings; Paris expected more from Washington, got less, and understandings were "lost in translation." [WSJ]
What We're Writing
In the Capital column, David writes that House Republicans are reshaping their political strategy to decide when to offer sharply different alternatives to President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies—and when to compromise. At a breakfast sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) said, "We have to explain who we are, what we believe in and fight for those things in a realistic way … And where we simply agree to disagree … more than ever before, we need to offer principled alternatives to explain to the country how we would do things differently." [Capital]
Also at the breakfast, Rep. Ryan singled out immigration as one area where Republicans and Democrats might find common ground this year [Washinton Wire] . The onetime contender for the vice presidency also said he has moved beyond the second-guessing of that campaign and its outcome. [Washington Wire]
More reading from the breakfast: Ryan Expects 'Big Down Payment on Debt
Transcripts from the breakfast with Rep. Ryan: Part One | Part Two
David and reporter Kirsten Grind write about Neel Kashkari's planned departure from Pacific Investment Management Co. Mr. Kashkari, who oversaw the Treasury's TARP program, is considering a run for public office in California.

14.4% of active-duty U.S. military personnel are women. [WSJ chart]
There are now more government workers (7.3 million) in unions than private-sector workers (7.0 million). [WSJ]
Apple's $13.1 billion quarterly profit was the 4th-largest ever by a public company (behind Gazprom, Exxon and Shell). [WSJ]
A tea cartel? Sri Lanka, India, Kenya, Indonesia, Malawi and Rwanda now control more than 50% of the world's tea production. [BBC]
Washington's 10 largest lobby firms saw revenue dip a collective 10% in 2012 to $232.6 million. [Washington Post]
About 22% of tweets from the most-followed journalists "seek to convey humor," academic researchers find. [Electronic Journal of Communication]
Per capita ice cream consumption in New Zealand is 28.4 liters/year vs. 20.8 in the U.S. But in Italy, it's 8; in U.K. it's 7 and in China just one liter/year. [Unilever]
Update on number of Pope's @pontifex twitter followers (of his English page): 1,453,051.
Sen. John Kerry's favorability rating is mixed: 39% polled viewed the nominee for Secretary of State favorably, while 36% viewed him unfavorably. [Pew Research Center]
About 44 million Americans, or 19% of the adult population, are smokers, down from about 42% of adults in 1965. [WSJ]

The carpool lane in my high school consisted primarily of hand-me-down's from parents, which makes sense – you want to give your old car to your kid so:
a) you can get a new one.
2) teenagers are terrible on cars.
The difference between my high school and others is that meant my best of friends drove things like the last model Lexus sports cars and the BMW 8 series that had phones built into it. Yep. Car phones. Back before we had cell phones glued to our ears, we had car phones and landlines, remember those, kids? Phones are the things you use to call people and have a conversation that doesn't have to occur in abbreviated form.
It didn't bother me – STC is a fairly affluent area and I've grown up here, so it's not like it was a particular culture shock. Because my parents didn't (rightly) trust me to own a car without somehow banging it up like I did the day after I got my license, I didn't own a car of my own. Instead, because I lived in the center of town, it was fairly easy to glom rides off my friends so that we could drive co-centric circles around the school, smoking cigarettes and wondering if we should bother going to class or head downtown and make mischief.
When I graduated high school, the elaborate parties my friends had were intense. You know that horrifying Sweet Sixteen (and Pregnant? I can't keep that stuff straight) show on MTV where kids are all, I WANT JUSTIN BEAVER AT MY PARTY DADDY AND A PONY AND A DIAMOND TIARA. It was like that, except there were ice sculptures and a hell of a lot less snot-nosed asshole kids – STC may be more affluent, but the people here are genuinely kind.
Rather than a pony on roller-skates or John C. Mayer crooning about my body being a wonderland to my throngs of teen friends, I had a backyard BBQ with some friends that lasted well into the wee hours of the night. Lots of debauchery and drinking occurred, but I wore jeans and a t-shirt and my Daddy didn't drive into the backyard with a new Mercedes.
Which is good because I may have murdered him.
For my graduation gift, rather than a yacht named "Becky Rules," which I spent an inordinate time scribbling on things that were not my own, I got a car. A used car. It was a car that had been used by my brother's wife's mother for many years. It may have been born before I was.
And while my high school boyfriend drove a Beemer – the kind you have to special order – that often contained gold bricks and wads of twenties stashed in the doors, I was pretty happy with my old Dodge Shadow. It may have been the color of baby poop (a guess – I'm colorblind), the doors may not have closed all the way, and shit, the oil was always leaking all over the damn place, but it was mine. All mine.
My boyfriend's car was snazzier than mine and probably had more money in it than I'll ever have, hands motherfucking DOWN, but my car was my own, which is why I loved it. Probably the ugliest car you ever saw, but I could, at the very least, jam my Tool tapes (yes tapes, not 8-tracks) into the boombox and sing along to Opiate – one of my favorite albums EVER, and go to all the places whenever I wanted to.
Driving has always been my best therapy. Full tank of gas and a half a pack of smokes? It's time to get the Band Back Together, motherfuckers. I spent hours stupidly driving the thing (I say stupid because it tried to kill me) around town and back, exploring roads that I'd never been down before, and when I'd return home, it was like all my problems had vanished.
While my compatriots in the carpool had leather seats and built-in CD players, mine had chalk drawings on the ceiling and incense burning from the cup holder (the thing was unable to properly store tasty beverages).
On the driver's side door, just above the window, I'd written this in neon green chalk:
"This is not an exit."
And it never was.
What was your first car, Pranksters?
Really wish THIS had been my first car.
34 Responses to Old Blue
I had a turquoise Plymouth Sundance, which is like the Dodge Shadow's twin brother.
Well, I totalled the first car my parents let me drive (NOT my fault, though I did get blamed for it legally – my word against his. I was 17. He was an adult with 3 kids in the car. My light was green. His was red, but he couldn't see because of the sunset. My witness disappeared while I was calling my parents). But that was not MY car. It was theirs that I was allowed to drive. My first car was a 1977 Cutlass Supreme. I bought it for $800 from the guys who ran the gas station I worked at. I was 18. I named her Dixie. She sucked back gas, and stalled if anyone but me drove her. My boyfriend (now husband) hated driving it – the aforementioned stalling problem, but rather enjoyed it when I drove him around that winter, because that baby had the best heater ever, and we lived in the prairies. When our baby was born in 1995, my husband's dad bought the car from me for $500 and sold it to his sister-in-law. She only had it a few months when she hit a deer at 120km/hr, killing the deer and totalling the car. She was fine though. Thank God for good old American cars.
My first car was called "My Little Ho" It was a horizon.
Oh, and the car I totalled was a Lancer. Before they were cool. Much like a Sundance or Shadow, actually.
oh AB, i adore you more and more every. single. day. my first car that was mine (read paid for completely because it was so cheap that my dad bought it and a new steering cover) was a….are you ready…..seriously….. red DODGE SHADOW. i know!!! it was standard too. two door hatchback i loved that thing. and when i got in trouble it was because i was out. driving. by myself. all the fuck over. with the windows down and half a pack of smokes. driving cleared my head. and it still does. even if my current transportation is a KIA.
Mine was a '71 VW bug, bought for $900. I loved that damn thing, and worked on it more than I worked on my boyfriend, which is probably why we weren't all, "TLF" and "TLA" like I wrote in my notebooks. It got me back and forth to my jobs at the Jack in the Box Drivethru, the bakery, and the health food store. It took me and my drunk friends to the subway to join the rest of the class on field trips (back when drunkily eaten McDonalds Sausage McMuffins were good—dipped in ketchup). It fishtailed us out of the parking lot each day, overloaded with my "Mod" friends (this was before "Goth" was invented. It acquired the blood of a certain GreenDay lead singer, who was fighting with our local teen band.
I miss it, and I sold it for $50 less than I bought it, two years later.
1977 Honda Civic Wagon… brown, with the hood paint looking somewhat like dried orange peel. Skate and surf stickers all over the back, and a totally Millenium Falcon-rigged stereo that KILLED it when I blasted Eazy-E and NWA on the streets of Santa Monica… this was 1987. I ruled the goram world…
A 1971 Vega. Puke yellow. I loved in Colorado and the damn thing had trouble making it up a hill. I hated that car.
But…. years and many cars later, when I got divorced at the age of 21 with a 2 year old and my crappy ex kept the car, I bought a 1971 Cutlass for $300. Its heater and AC didn't work and it burned a quart of oil a week. It got me to work and daycare, even if it did stall out whenever it rained.
A maroon 1978 Checy Nova with 2 doors. It had a leaky gas tank that could only hold 5 bucks at a time, however it was 1996 so 5 bucks of gas would last all week. The interior was also "maroon" but after 20+ years in chicago the outside was mostly rust and the interior faded to a lovely pink. I drove it for 3 years and NEVER put anything other than gas into it.
Traded it for a 91 Ford Probe….that had a Motorola phone handing off the side of the console!
A 1984 "Canyon red" Mustang L. I loved that thing! Still have it….or what's left of it. Just waiting to win the lottery so I can restore it!
I grew up in Peoria IL, where people are mostly normal. So, even though my friends came from affluent households, everybody's house was about the same size and we all drove hand-me down cars. You'd be considered an asshole if you had a BMW.
Not one person in my high school had a car like that. Thank God.
That being said, I actually had a pretty nice car — that had 200k miles on it — it was a Merkur XR4Ti. It has a double spoiler on the back. Hilarious. It was my dad's.
But at least it was stick shift. Everyone's first car should be a stick.
A green VW bug, stick shift, and my cat had her freakin babies in the backseat. Little slut.
my first car?
a 1982 camaro.
and I was born in 1989.
I thought/think I'm pretty cool, getting myself a "vintage" car right off the bat…
*slow head shake*
1978 Grand prix. It was purple – like REAL purple, not lavender, fuschia, or whatever, like the purple crayola crayon. It had black "crushed velour" interior. It had been through a flood, and I got it for a whopping $600 in '90 when I got my license. I lovingly referred to it as Bart. Hey, the Simpsons were huge then. One day the lugnuts came off of the front driver tire, as I took a turn, and it was like driving a bucking horse. The doors had to weigh 8,000 pounds each though, I was safe as can be, and climbed out the passenger side. Poor Bart. Got the door pounded out but then it squeaked an evil squeak. After driving it another month or two, Dad said it was time to trade it in. Ahhh memories. It had an awesome stereo and I think it had "glass packs" on it b/c it had a wicked rumble. And the spedometer cable broke while I had it, so it was like "eh, go what everyone else is going". lol
A 1974 Chevy Malibu Classic. Two does, light green with a white landau roof. Don't hate.
Doors not does
1981 Chevy Blazer. It was a TANK!! After the engine blew (while my ex-husband was driving it – serves the bastard right!), he talked me into selling it to the mechanic who was working on it. I resented him for it and always swore I'd get another one just like it one day.
Right after marrying Surfer Pirate, there she was! I would have sworn it was the same one – the color was almost exactly the same as the custom color I'd chosen. Only now, this one was an '87, and had a big, mean looking grill on the front. As soon as it was safely in my driveway, I hugged it. I've told my husband that if I die first, he has to bury me in the blazer.
It was a silver Grand Pre (geez, did I even spell that right?) and the model was something like late 70's. It had this crazy crushed red velvet interior and a sun roof (which was a big deal back then). It was a used car but in great condition (and a terrible gas guzzler but who cared? Gas was cheap back then). It was a two-door, and this doors were as heavy as the side of a tank. I LOVED that car, but got into an accident less than a year of owning it—the car saved my life essentially, but it had to be totaled afterwards. Damn if I didn't cry for WEEKS afterwards. i still think about that car….. FROM: http://Menopausalmother.blogspot.com
My first (sort of) car was being able to use my parent's Plymouth Duster (so very cool) in exchange for driving DOD to the train every morning of my summer vacation. At 6 AM! Every morning! Of my summer vacation! Day one I got into a fender bender in the parking lot. They made me pay for the damages. Next day, I went out and bought myself a very cool bicycle and slept in.
I purchased, for $800 dollars worth of squandered waitressing and babysitting money, my first car my senior year of high school. It was a 1986 Dodge Lancer, in a warm tone of rusty burgundy with matching and lovingly embroidered burgundy velour-ish seats.
It was a stick shift, which at the time, I had no clue how to drive. But, after many nights in the boardwalk parking lot in the middle of winter and an almost-burned-through clutch, I learned. The rest, as they say, is history. It lasted ALL THE WAY until my JUNIOR YEAR OF COLLEGE, and was towed away to the junkyard never to be seen again.
I have more memories driving around in that car than any other since then.
***I also had a brief stint owning a 1989 Dodge Shadow, in a bold and interesting turquoise.
Thanks for sharing, took my mind off shit for awhile, made me smile. 🙂
Girl, I love your posts. May I say that it is about time you put some ads up in here? I think my fellow Pranksters will agree that we want you to have the resources to continue writing. Also, while I'm on the subject, why hasn't (un)crustables started advertising on here? I never thought of picking one up until your blog.
Opiate is your favourite? I knew we were secretly best friends 😉
Tried leaving a comment earlier and it never posted for some reason so here goes again…first car was a late 70's model Grand Pre (spelling?) silver with crushed red velvet interior and a sun roof (which was a big deal back in the day!), I got it used and it was my FAVORITE car. Only had it a year when I got into a big car accident–the sheer size and weight of the car literally saved my life—and the car had to be totaled. I cried for WEEKS after losing that car. Still think about it and miss driving it…. FROM: http://Menopausalmother.blogspot.com
My first car was my mother's '76 Aspen Wagon. That shit was electric blue with wood paneling, no floor board in the front passenger and the muffler rolling around in the back. It was one hell of a car for Naperville in when nearly my entire graduating class all received the '95 Mustang 5.0… My brother's car was my Aunt's old mustard yellow Chevy Supreme. The back bumper was ripped off in a fit of rage by a classmate and replaced with a 2 x 4 spray painted blue. He decided to spray paint the vinyl cover black and allow his friends to scratch shit into the paint and draw all over the interior… Classy for sure!
Mine was a 1985 For Tempo. It looked like a car that would be driven by a low level govt emp.
Ford, not For. Also, it was dark blue, almost black. So, yeah, just calle me Jr Agent Roxie! 🙂
I got a new Honda Civic hatchback when I could drive precisely because it was still cheaper than my parents' very nice, fairly new cars. My car had no air-conditioning, no power steering, no power windows and no tape player (or 8 track) and I loved it with a passion I have not felt for a car since.
1974 Plymouth Duster, baby shit green. I ran the bitch clean out of oil and it shit the bed on the side of the road less than a week before I was going into the Air Force. My mom told the tow truck guy, If he would tow it – he could have it. He got it running again. Later someone else that went to my high school could take 100 of THEIR closest friends anywhere they wanted to go. This thing had nothing power and NO radio at all. I took my walkman headphones and hung them around the rear-view and cranked that fucker UP! LOL, oh good times!

Good Health Is Relative In Retirement
Financial advisers often deal with new retirees who come in holding a Chinese menu of investments. They might have money in tax-deferred accounts, regular investment accounts and company stock, to say nothing of pensions and social security.
"What do I tap first?" is a common question. Thomas Ruggie, president of Ruggie Wealth Management in Tavares, Fla., uses a recent example to show there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
The client was a recently retired college professor, divorced, with three grown children and investments worth about $3 million. A little more than half that, about $1.7 million, was stashed in his TIAA-CREF fixed annuity. The rest was in taxable accounts. The client needed income and was preparing to annuitize the annuity–meaning he would commit permanently to regular annual distributions–which would have provided about $85,000 a year. But then, as an alternative, he could leave the money in the annuity and take an income from his taxable investments.
Ruggie thought neither course wisest under the circumstances. "Although he was a new client, I knew him because I had seen him at the gym," says the adviser. "This guy was 69 years old but he worked out harder than most 30-year-olds I know. We started talking and I learned that he had some heart stents put in over the last few years. But he was in incredibly good health."
Ruggie realized he could use this situation to his client's advantage. "I got the rates from TIAA-CREF, and basically they were going to pay out 6.5%," he says. "But when I shopped around for other fixed annuities, I played up the fact that here's a 69-year-old guy with heart stents. From an insurance company perspective, that makes his mortality lower than an average 69-year-old."
Ruggie and his client were under no obligation to tell the insurance company that the man works out like Charles Atlas; it simply never came up. As a result of his lower projected lifespan, the man was able to get an annuity that paid out 12%, nearly doubling his income over the TIAA-CREF plan. It was a simple matter to roll the TIAA-CREF annuity into the new policy and begin the annuitization.
But there was still one problem. By annuitizing most of his life savings, "the client was basically disinheriting his children," says Ruggie, since there would be no death benefit. They would still inherit the $1.3 million in his outside investment accounts, subject to whatever estate tax is in place when he dies. But the client was uncomfortable cutting his kids out of the $1.7 million in his annuity.
So Ruggie went shopping again, this time for a life insurance policy. Of course, the heart stents worked against his client now, but this time Ruggie included a cover letter describing his client's exercise regimen and overall good health. "We went through four companies," says Ruggie. One denied him coverage, two came back with rated policies–meaning more expensive based on his heart stents–"but the fourth gave him a standard rating."
Of course, at age 69, even a standard life insurance policy isn't cheap. Coverage of $1.7 million ended up costing about $60,000 a year. Even so, when combined with the new annuity, the client's income worked out to around $115,000 a year–much better than the original TIAA-CREF plan, while preserving an inheritance for his children.
"It took a bit of digging, but the situation worked out perfect," says Ruggie. "Barring something unexpected, I'm guessing that the annuity company will lose and the life insurer is going to do fine." Either way, the client and his kids are set.

Clinton's Speech Accepting the Democratic Nomination for President
Published: August 30, 1996
Following is President Clinton's speech last night at the Democratic National Convention in which he accepted the party's nomination for re-election as transcribed by The Associated Press:
Mr. Chairman, Mr. Vice President, my fellow Democrats, and my fellow Americans. Thank you for your nomination. I don't know if I can find a fancy way to say this, but I accept. Thank you.
So many have contributed to the record we have made for the American people, but one above all, my partner, my friend and the best Vice President in our history, Al Gore.
Tonight I thank the city of Chicago, its great Mayor and its wonderful people for this magnificent convention. I love Chicago for many reasons; for your powerful spirit, your sports teams, your lively politics, but most of all for the love and light of my life, Chicago's daughter, Hillary.
Four years ago, you and I set forth on a journey to bring our vision to our country, to keep the American Dream alive for all who were willing to work for it, to make our American communities stronger, to keep America the strongest force for peace and freedom and prosperity.
Four years ago, with high unemployment, stagnant wages, crime, welfare and the deficit on the rise, with a host of unmet challenges and a rising tide of cynicism, I told you about a place I was born, and I told you that I still believe in a place called Hope.
Well, for four years now, to realize our vision, we have pursued a simple but profound strategy: opportunity for all, responsibility from all, a strong, united American community.
Four days ago, as you were making your way here, I began a train ride to make my way to Chicago through America's heartland. I wanted to see the faces; I wanted to hear the voices of the people for whom I have worked and fought these last four years. And did I ever see them.
I met an ingenious businesswoman who was once on welfare in West Virginia; a brave police officer, shot and paralyzed, now a civic leader in Kentucky; an auto worker in Ohio, once unemployed, once unemployed, now proud to be working in the oldest auto plant in America, to help make America No. 1 in auto production again for the first time in 20 years.
I met a grandmother fighting for her grandson's environment in Michigan, and I stood with two wonderful little children proudly reading from their favorite book, ''The Little Engine That Could.''
At every stop, large and exuberant crowds greeted me, and maybe more important, when we just rolled through little towns, there were always schoolchildren there waving their American flags. All of them believing in America and its future.
I would not have missed that trip for all the world, for that trip showed me that hope is back in America. We are on the right track to the 21st century.
Look at the facts. Just look at the facts: 4.4 million Americans now living in a home of their own for the first time. Hundreds of thousands of women have started their own new businesses. More minorities own businesses than ever before. Record numbers of new small businesses and exports.
Look at what's happened. We have the lowest combined rates of unemployment, inflation and home mortgages in 28 years. Look at what happened: 10 million new jobs, over half of them high-wage jobs. Ten million workers getting the raise they deserve with the minimum wage law. Twenty-five million people now having protection in their health insurance because the Kennedy-Kassebaum bill says you can't lose your insurance anymore when you change jobs, even if somebody in your family has been sick.
Forty million Americans with more pension security. A tax cut for 15 million of our hardest-working, hardest-pressed Americans and all small businesses. Twelve million Americans, 12 million of them, taking advantage of the Family and Medical Leave law so they can be good parents and good workers.
Ten million students have saved money on their college loans. We are making our democracy work.
We have also passed political reform: the line-item veto, the motor-voter bill, tougher registration laws for lobbyists, making Congress live under the laws they impose on the private sector, stopping unfunded mandates to state and local government. We've come a long way. We've got one more thing to do. Would you help me get campaign finance reform in the next four years?
We have increased our investments in research in technology. We have increased investment in breast cancer research dramatically. We are developing a super-computer that will do more calculating in a second than a person with a hand-held calculator can do in 30,000 years. More rapid development of drugs to deal with H.I.V. and AIDS and moving them to the market quicker have almost doubled life expectancy in only four years and we are looking at no limit in sight to that. We'll keep going until normal life is returned to people who deal with this.
Our country is still the strongest force for peace and freedom on earth, on issues that once before tore us apart, we have changed the old politics of Washington. For too long, leaders in Washington asked, Who's to blame? But we ask, What are we going to do?

McKnight ignites huge Jets brawl
CORTLAND — Tebowmania turned into Wrestlemania for the Jets during one big training camp throwdown.
About 20 players were involved in a brief brawl during a chippy practice Monday after running back Joe McKnight and safety D'Anton Lynn tangled after a play.
Lynn, the son of Jets running backs coach Anthony Lynn, shoved McKnight out of bounds after a swing pass from Greg McElroy. An angry McKnight then fired the football at Lynn.
"That was a first," Lynn said. "That's never happened to me before, so I lost my temper for a second."
The two got into it, with McKnight charging Lynn and throwing a punch that didn't land.
"If you're fighting, I mean, are you going to just love-tap him?" McKnight said. "I mean, you're going to try to hit him. It's a fight."
Offensive and defensive players ran over to the two and a pileup ensued, with players rolling through advertisement placards and into an area where reporters were watching. Several reporters scattered as the players jumped on each other and wrestled a few feet in front of a barricade where fans sit.
Coach Rex Ryan, along with several players, including Tim Tebow, ran over to break up the melee by pulling players off the pile.
"I felt like I could hardly breathe," said Lynn, an undrafted free agent from Penn State. "Everyone was on top of me, so I had to get out of there."
Meanwhile, several other players jokingly acted as if they were taking swings at each other.
McKnight said Ryan told him: "Keep playing hard."
It all lasted about a minute, and the Jets went back to team drills as if nothing happened — with none of the players suffering any apparent injuries.
"Sometimes, offense and defense, you're out there competing and sometimes fights happen," Lynn said. "It's nothing personal."
The two said they would talk to each other, and things would be smoothed over.
"We're not trying to hurt each other," Lynn said. "I doubt he was trying to hurt me and I wasn't trying to hurt him. It just kind of escalated for a minute. It was more wrestling than anything."
QB Mark Sanchez said he was watching the fight and wasn't happy about the scuffle.
"There's no excuse for it," Sanchez said. "There's no throwing a ball at a teammate. There's no shoving a guy out of bounds into the signs. One, it doesn't look good, and two, it sends the wrong message to our team. We want to take care of our guys. I get it, guys are competitive, guys are fiery. That's nice, but you want to take it to the brink and compete to the last possible moment and always remember to protect your teammates."
Fact Box
holmes hurting
Santonio Holmes will likely miss the preseason opener at Cincinnati on Friday because of a rib injury, leaving the Jets without their top wide receiver.
Holmes did not practice Monday and there was no immediate timetable for his return after he injured a rib in the team's scrimmage Saturday night. Coach Rex Ryan said initial indications were that Holmes had a broken rib, but X-rays revealed no fracture.
"We're lucky he never had the fracture like I thought, so that's a good sign," Ryan said before practice Monday. "Whether he plays this week, I'm not real sure. I'm not going to rule him out, but I would say it's probably doubtful. We'll see."
Ryan added that Holmes is "obviously tender" and said the wide receiver told him "something about cartilage," but wasn't clear on the exact nature of the injury.

Concerning the usage of textiles, it's generally better wear natural fabrics like cotton and silk, which assists in the assimilation of sweat than the artificial components like nylon, cotton and bamboo.
A great deal of persons also use in masking underarm odor deodorants, that really help. Antiperspirants, both over-the-counter and prescription varieties, also aid in reducing the total amount of perspiration that is nearby. If every one of the artificial deodorants don't enable you to resolve your trouble, then you can certainly take the help of 'Le Crystal Dynamics', which really is a bit of mineral salts which when utilized, helps to keep scent-causing bacteria in order without causing any skin problems. Another classic approach to preventing underarm odor will be to consider the aid of Drionic, which is a digital unit that keeps them blocked for approximately six months and attaches sweat ducts.
What we've outlined to date are generally temporary measures. So that you can achieve longterm independence from underarm odor, we recommend these organic antiperspirants:
i) Alcohol/witchhazel: If you remove your armpits with alcohol, white vinegar or witch hazel in place of a deodorant, it can help you in reducing underarm odor
ii) Use a crystal steel produced from the spring sodium potassium alum in place of a deodorant.
iii) apple-cider vinegar can be helpful in eliminating underarm odor when found in host to a deodorant since it reduces the pH of skin, and scent-causing bacteria cannot endure in regions of the skin with low-Ph
iv) White vinegar is another helpful resource in eliminating underarm odor. You affect the underarms as opposed to a deodorant and can absorb some cotton-ball inside it. The aroma will soon be gone within you'll be scent and a few minutes -free throughout the day
V) Baby powder and baby wipes, if applied daily in places that exhibit heavy moisture, also function, however the effects might be temporary
vi) you can even use baking soda for the 'smell-eating' ability. Just apply the dust for your dry underarms. It'll kill bacteria and help absorb moisture. You mix the soda to create a fruitful combination and it or can also use cornstarch instead
vii) Bauxite crystals work very well in controlling underarm odor.
viii) Parsley, alfalfa along with other leafy vegetables ought to be included in the diet since they can aid in neutralizing body odor because of the deodorizing effect of the chlorophyll within these leaves
ix) Get the juice of about two dozen radishes, blend this using a quarter teaspoon of glycerin, and use as an underarm deodorant
X) If you decrease 8-10 drops of rosemary oil in a ounce of water, you can use the resulting mix as being a wonderful natural deodorant
If you sweat excessively because of anxiety this can be especially true.
xii) You can make just one more natural deodorant by diluting two drops of essential oil within an ounce of water and apply to the underarms
xiii) Turnip juice is another efficient strategy to reduce underarm odor, occasionally for so long as 10 hours. You can grate a turnip and press the juice through cheesecloth, so that you have two teaspoonfuls. Wash your armpits first, and vigorously wipe one teaspoonful of turnip juice under every one
xiv) Consider 500 mg of wheat grass daily on an empty stomach and wash it along with a glass of water. The chlorophyll can significantly reduce underarm odor.
If you still want to use antiperspirants and branded deodorants reduce underarm sweat and to cover up your underarm odor, be sure you know plainly concerning the what the products include. Since most deodorants and prescription antiperspirants are created using synthetic fragrances, they react differently with different types of skin.
Most often they cause skin problems like contact dermatitis, which causes the skin to swell redden and itch madly. However, with causing severe illnesses that are such as hormonal fluctuations, cancer and liver conditions, while antiperspirants and deodorants have previously priced, medical investigation is nevertheless to determine a link.
What's certain is the fact that your system do affect in various techniques, therefore it is often brightest to try to use deodorants and normal antiperspirants including the people we've described above. You have anything to achieve and nothing to lose. Nobody has confirmed claimed hazardous sideeffects from organic antiperspirants, although problems have frequently poured in from folks using chemical deodorants and medicines.
Because diet includes a lot to do with underarm odor, it's best that you just work on preventing your diet plan, and follow a healthier daily strategy. Simply speaking, what we consume is what we smell. Furthermore, ensure your doctor holds regular check-ups to observe your general health, which you keep blood sugar, your liver functioning, kidney functioning and fungus levels under control.
Finally, listen to your body. Also often, since we believe it is a temporary symptom we are inclined to ignore the original symptoms of an underarm sweat issue. Do not get this error. Eventually, not merely will the problem not disappear on its own, but you will find yourself dropping a victim to underarm odor, that'll cause you untold social embarrassment and fiscal troubles while in the form of repeated purchases of antiperspirants and deodorants, and many more extreme forma of cure like surgery and Botox injections.

It may be a catastrophe for the house when you have a piece flow. With respect to the kind of slab flow you've, you might not actually learn for quite a while about it!
You do not have to begin ripping up your surfaces simply to locate a leak as you may require a jackhammer or real exercise to ultimately reach the leak. Actually, slab leaks have tell-tale without needing heavy equipment signs as you are able to observe.
Therefore, how will you know when you have a piece leak? These 11 guidelines might help you discover the solution you are searching for:
1. You might have a slab leak if it seems like there is water running, however, you realize that none of one's taps are on. Slab leaks often possibly create perhaps a splashing noise or a sound. Perhaps you are ready to listen to it should you listen carefully.
2. It may be an indication that the heated water point is dripping underneath your piece should you begin to observe that a particular section of your ground is comfortable. Since you may experience them right under the feet often, heated water line leaks are found faster!
3. When you have began to discover mold or humidity underneath your flooring, it may be an indication of the flow. In the end, whilst the water begins to gather, it's nowhere to go up.
4. Should you observe breaks inside pockets or your tile floors inside your wood surfaces, you might have a flow.
5. Should you observe breaks inside surfaces or your baseboards, it may be an indication of the slab leak. As your piece is a single item that is made from metal and cement, it does not provide whatsoever. A flow may cause the whole thing to change. As your basis changes, it'll begin to effect your whole house - surfaces and also surfaces which are nowhere close to the flow.
6. You might have a flow if it appears as though your swimming is continually dropping water.
7. It may be an indication of the slab leak if your water-pressure has gotten really low. Several piece leaks happen in the primary water point - or where the water moves in the exterior into your house. Your water-pressure may fall considerably if a small flow is even inside your water point.
8. If your water charges have increased a sudden all - and you also do not know why - it may be an indication of the leak. The harm from piece leaks may accumulate rapidly; a pinhole- hole of your pipes in another may flow over 10 out in only 30 days!
9. Discover what your water-meter does. Ensure that the washer or dishwasher isn't on, and that all your taps are switched off, the bathroom isn't operating, move outside, and have a look at your water-meter. The call shouldn't be going. You probably possess a leak somewhere if it's.
10. Check your leak detectors. Some water measures have flow sensors within them that seem like bright triangle or a little dark or wheel. If it's currently spinning - or shifting whatsoever - this means which you possess a leak somewhere.
11. Check your water-meter reading. Make certain there's no water working everywhere within your house, then browse the figures in your water-meter and move outside. Abandon off all of the water for atleast around 30 minutes, then examine the figures again. You will understand you've a leak when the quantity went up. And, the larger the amount increases because half-hour, the larger you will understand your flow is.

Lady Gaga launches 'BTW' foundation at Harvard
"My mother and I have initiated a passion project," she says in a press release. "We call it the Born This Way Foundation. Together, we hope to establish a standard of bravery and kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment."
At the event with Oprah, Gaga says the foundation will give youth the tools to "develop the skills needed to be a loving, accepting and tolerant person" and to inject those qualities into the community. "This is a new empowerment foundation. This is about changing the climate," Gaga continues, adding that it's not a anti-bullying campaign, but a youth-empowerment movement. "It's about the bubble effect."
"The culture of love is not going to change overnight but youth are the answer to creating a braver, kinder world," she gushes. "This might be one of the best days of my life."
At the Harvard event, Gaga announced plans for the "Born Brave Bus" which will travel across the country following her tour bus and serve as a place where youth can go to feel connected.
Cynthia Germonatta, Gaga's mother, will serve as president of the foundation. The mother-daughter team is working with Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society as well as the MacAuthur Foundation and the California Endowment To Empower Youth to carry out the initiative.
Germonatta sent out emails one hour before the event was streamed, albeit with a few technical glitches, at 4 p.m. "I'm here at Harvard University's Sanders Theatre with my daughter, Lady Gaga, and Oprah," Germonatta writes. "We're getting ready to take the stage to officially unveil the Born This Way Foundation."
Meanwhile, a small group of Harvard students and faculty (see photos) called "Their Day in the Yard" protested outside of the event demanding that the seven students from the 1920s who were expelled from the ivy league on suspicion of being gay should get their degrees posthumously.

Street renamed to honor Ben Affleck's 'The Town'
Affleck's mom, Chris, was also at the 8 p.m. one-day, exclusive screening of "The Town: Ultimate Collector's Edition" to promote the release of the "Take 2" version hitting shelves on March 6.
According to one source who attended the screening, the "alternate ending of this movie was great," he says. Apparently, a slew of extras from the made-in-Boston movie were in the audience and Affleck gave a pre-recorded two-and-a-half minute introduction.
Affleck, who is expecting his third child at any moment with his wife, actress Jennifer Garner, was unable to appear in person but apparently his onscreen message was good enough.
In the taped message, Affleck said the "Take 2" version has a substantially different alternate ending and is the heart and soul of the movie. Affleck added that if the movie didn't come out on DVD and it didn't have all the available extra features, that the alternate ending is the one he would have chosen for the original.
At the ceremony on Monday, Welliver was joined by Jeff Baker (center in pic below) and Sal LaMattina (right). Baker is an executive at Warner Bros and LaMattina is a Boston City Councilor who represents The North End, East Boston and Charlestown which, as many Loaded Gun Boston readers know, is where most of the filming of "The Town" took place.

Revisit Ben Affleck's'The Town' at 'Take 2' screening
There's an exclusive screening of "The Town: Ultimate Collector's Edition" hitting AMC Loews Boston Common on Monday, Feb. 6 to promote the "Take 2" version's release on March 6. Actor Titus Welliver, who played Jon Hamm's FBI partner in the flick, is slotted to attend the 8 p.m. screening and Affleck's mom, Chris, will be at a street-renaming ceremony outside of the cinema at 3 p.m. where city officials will temporarily rename the corner of Tremont and Avery "The Town Take 2 Place."
Expect some previously unseen footage in the DVD version, including a crowd scene outside of Trinity Church in Copley Square.
In honor of its DVD release in March, we offer you inspiration from the movie's locations.
Looking for food options inspired by "The Town"? Don't fret. Affleck and crew were regulars in the North End and were known to order a dozen or so pies from Ernesto's Pizza located at 69 Salem St. Scenes in the North End include shots at Pizzeria Regina on Thacher Street and Neptune Oyster located at 63 Salem Street. Also, Affleck returned to his Cambridge roots by setting up shop at Grendel's Den located at 89 Winthrop St. in Harvard Square.
Affleck, who effectively captured Boston's grittier side with his directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone," aimed for authenticity with "The Town" and filmed a scene at the old-school watering hole known as Old Sully's located at on Union Street near the Community College Station Orange Line T stop. Known for its wood-paneled backroom, the nondescript pub is a colorful haunt from Charlestown's past with roots going back to the speakeasy days of Prohibition. He also shot scenes at The Warren Tavern, located at 2 Pleasant St., in Charlestown. They also filmed some strip club scenes at the infamous Centerfolds/The Glass Slipper located at 22 LaGrange Street.
During filming, crews rented out the Howard Johnson Hotel Boston located at 1271 Boylston St. specifically for the Fenway climax to house out-of-state production crews as well as an exterior filming location. Set designers transformed the Fenway Park hotel into the fictional Van Ness Motor Inn. Affleck, noticeably dressed down after wearing a variety of costumes last week including a Boston police officer uniform as well as an EMS paramedic shirt, rolled up his sleeves during filming at the revamped HoJo's. The hotel's transformation into the Van Ness Motor Inn was apparently so convincing, several bystanders thought the motel was the real deal.
Crews literally shut down the Charlestown Bridge in October 2009 to orchestrate an elaborate cops-and-robbers chase scene involving stunt doubles wearing masks and nun outfits. Armed with a helicopter filming aerial shots, the sequence showcases the bridge in all of its glory .
Boston's Fenway Park and home to Affleck's beloved Red Sox is a major player in "The Town." In fact, a handful of locals expressed concern after hearing gunshots in the Fenway's growing residential neighborhood. The Boston Police Department received a call from a citizen hearing "shots fired" near Fenway Park while Affleck filmed the climactic cat-and-mouse scene with Hamm and Titus Welliver from "Gone Baby Gone." One Loaded Gun Boston readers says the barrage of bullets on Yawkey Way kept him up. "Yeah, it's a bit frustrating having to hear machine guns while trying to sleep," he says.

Jason Segel 'marshalls' Harvard Hasty Pudding pot
When he got to the roast he had to go on stage and do three things to receive his pudding pot:
!. Give a pregnant Katherine Heigl (well, it was a man in drag pretending to be his "Knocked Up" co-star) a bowl of BBQ sauce. Then he had to drink some of it, making a nod to one of his infamous tweets.
2. Marry Russell Brand and Doogie Howser impersonators. Then, a Katy Perry lookalike showed up on stage and left with Brand. Apparently, Segel is a Justice of the Peace off-screen.
3. Wear a Miss Piggy wig and an over-sized bra with muppets stuffed in it and sing Kermit's "The Rainbow Connection," in a frog's voice.
During the pre-roast interview, Segel was asked what he plans to do with his pot. He replied: "Stuff it in my sock or put in in my checked luggage, that's usually how I get it past airport security."
Julianne Moore and Jay Leno were roasted last year. Anne Hathaway and Justin Timberlake were honored in 2010. Renee Zellweger and James Franco were honored in 2009. Christopher Walken and Charlize Theron were tapped as the Hasty Pudding Theatricals' Man and Woman of the Year in 2008.

A shortened barrel M16A2, it is quite different similar to the M4 carbine. The CAR15 features automatic firing as well as making less noise, though the weapon does face a lesser accuracy due to the shortened barrel.
