Skip to comments.Report: Fathers death led to Patrick Kennedys decision
Posted on 02/12/2010 8:06:52 AM PST by raccoonradio
U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy decided to abandon public office to focus on his personal life and family after watching his father die surrounded by loved ones, the 16-year congressman said in a wide-ranging magazine interview.
Kennedy, who announced his decision not to seek re-election in a two-minute video clip, told Rhode Island Monthly he decided to let go of his House seat at Christmas after spending the fall reflecting on the death of U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
Its pretty simple in this respect: I went through something that caused me a great deal of soul searching and self-reflection, Kennedy said. Right now, a personal life is of greater value. Emotional connections that are real and loving and personal just trump everything else.
Kennedy appears on the cover of the magazines March edition. The storys author, Mark Arsenault, this morning told WPRO-AM host John DiPietro he believes Kennedy wants to have a family.
That certainly goes into his thinking. He stood around his fathers death bed and there were a lot of people there, Arsenault said. Hes 42 years old and never been married and I think at some point he would like to have a family.
In the interview, Kennedy said he became closer to his brother, Ted Jr., and sister, Kara, during his fathers dying days. He also said he could not imagine dying alone.
I cant imagine if I had a year to live and I didnt have kids. All the legislative accomplishments in the world wouldnt matter, Kennedy said.
Kennedy also described the time he spent with his father after his brain cancer diagnosis in May 2008.
Ill never forget what he said to me (in late summer, 2008.) He said, Can you stay at the house with me and just clear your schedule, Kennedy said. We had a couple of weeks. Ill never forget it for the rest of my life. His just asking me to be there was the greatest gift he ever gave me in his life.
Kennedy told the magazine he is not sure whats next for him, but he wants to model the next chapter of his life after his late aunt, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who founded the Special Olympics. Shriver died shortly before her younger brother, Ted, last August.
Service is in my future. I know it as fact that service is an essential part to maintaining your sobriety, he said.
Kennedy added: Theres a hole in the soul that we all try to fill, sometimes with the wrong things, like booze or drugs. Society would tell us to fill it with consumerism. But its only really filled through love and service, by serving a high purpose. By doing Gods will.
Had nothing to do
With his tanking poll numbers...
Oh no! Of course not!
Bullspit! That election in Massachusetts, along with New Jersey and Virginia is what did it.
Yep. I'm believing that. Uh-huh.
LOL...typical Kennedy . . no credibility, no morals, no ethics
>>He said, Can you stay at the house with me and just clear your schedule, Kennedy said. We had a couple of weeks. Ill never forget it for the rest of my life.
Ted should have resigned so that The People's Seat could be filled; instead he stayed till his dying breath. So much for
"family comes first"
Speaking of family, does he have a wife and kids? nope...
>>He has never married and resides in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
He also gets in car crashes in both DC (the Ambien incident) and down in R.I. (at one point Howie Carr's
site had an accident report he had to fill out after
a minor car crash outside a CVS in either Portsmouth or
Middletown RI...you could see PK's shaky handwriting
The Kennedy era is over and it's tough to handle. Maybe now they should just enjoy life.
His father's DEATH??? or the fact his Father's Seat went to a REPUBLICAN.. or the Polls show him LOSING his BUTT!!!
Don't bother attributing Honesty or Integrity to a KENNEDY.. just makes us want to LAUGH HARDER!!
I wish him a long life in the private sector.
Well, maybe he could start a local chapter of AA. If it already has one, maybe he could start a thrift store to assist with wino rehab.
oh, here it is; luckily nobody was killed unlike in his dad's case...
Rhode Island accident
In an earlier incident, on April 15, 2006, Kennedy was driving a Ford Crown Victoria registered to the "Friends of Pat Kennedy Inc" on Turnpike Avenue in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. As Kennedy attempted to turn left into a CVS pharmacy parking lot, his vehicle struck a Nissan Maxima driven by off-duty U.S. Coast Guard Warrant Officer Thomas Guthlein who was attempting to make a right turn into the same parking lot. Portsmouth police did not issue a citation to either driver. One woman who witnessed the accident has expressed her opinion that Kennedy was impaired, but this has never been proven. Kennedy's handwriting on the police report was messy. Guthlein is quoted in the Daily News (New York City) as saying "I never really got that close to him ... It was just a regular traffic accident".
Yeah Kennedy, do "God's will" and GTFO of government.
It's a good day for the country when a Kennedy no longer blights the congress.
Patches will now return home to spend more time with his family (except he doesn't have one.)
As I mentioned on the Boston Herald's message board, if his last name were not Kennedy he would have been handling bedpans at some hospital for the past few years.
He's doing God's will...
Is God a Republican?
He might be this year...
"He's doing God's will..."
Doesn't the Left freak out when
Palin says such things?
My true hope for all the Kennedys is now that there is no more pressure to carry on the family business, they will be free to try their wings and achieve their own niche in the world. His dad didn't want the mantle he picked up, but what else could he do? Poll numbers are probably a very good reason to finally say, "Enough."
No hard feelings, Kiddo. Now go do something that keeps you sober and happy. Stretch and fly.
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son"
Oy vey. Isn't Patches the pol who shoved a female airline security worker?
Kennedy was a carpetbagger when he got his House seat. When he ran for the first time he was a guest of former Prov mayor Buddy Cianci who at that time had a show on WHJJ (now he, like Depetro, is on WPRO) and Buddy and his listeners kept trying to trip him up on questions like "where is this
neighborhood?" "how does one get to your campaign office?"
He still won. (source: The Prince of Providence, Mike Stanton, which I borrowed from the library recently)
He would not have been reelected. Did he forget to mention that?
Uh, Patrick, we don't care what excuse you're offering up for quitting. Just QUIT already!
as Howie has pointed out a triple crime: she was black,
female, and elderly I believe. Care to guess the media reaction had Patches been a Republican?
The deluded hurtful fantasy known as "Camelot" is finally dead folks.
What a pant load.
His polling sobered him up.
Me, too. I think it will be a very good fit.
>>because it was expected
the plan was that Joseph Kennedy II (the one killed in the war) would become President, Jack Kennedy sen. from Mass.,
and Ted would have become sen. from R.I.
Interestingly, I also calculated a 53.24% chance that Kennedy will wreck his car in an alcohol or drug induced stupor.
...and, numbers don't lie.
>>I wish him a long life in the private sector.
You misspelled "rehab".
May he use a healthy chunk of whatever filthy money he inherits to form a sobriety charity, and spend the rest of his life trying to turn around the boatloads of drunken Kennedy disasters.
Isn't Joe Kennedy still in politics, or is he just a shill for Venezuelan oil?
Right after the election WBZ talk host Dan Rea kept playing a clip of Ted Kennedy bellowing, "I feel...CHANGE!! in the air!" (roar from crowd). "How 'bout you?"
We got change all right: Scott Philip Brown, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
His political Patron has passed on...
Three changes down; one to go.
nope, he's in the oil biz. TV ads show his rolling out the hoses and talking to 'customers' (something he doesn't do in real life, no doubt). It was funny to hear some talk shows like Howie Carr talk about Patches and then guess what shows up when they go to a break: an ad (or public serv announcement?) from 1-800-Joe-4-Hugo.
Bullshit! He don't have a soul to search. I remember what he said about President Bush's tax cuts.
"Kennedy added: Theres a hole in the soul that we all try to fill, sometimes with the wrong things, like booze or drugs. Society would tell us to fill it with consumerism. But its only really filled through love and service, by serving a high purpose. By doing Gods will."
He had a life changing revelation. He has new insight now. He may become the effective leader of his family. Glad he decided to follow Eunice's example and do service for others.
Thanks. I want to hurl every time those commercials come on.
I hope they all give the political arena the finger and go live a nice, fulfilled life somewhere without the microscope. They deserve a life. Everybody pulling at them -- wanting something -- trying to get that boost from the association. It's disgusting.
LOL! The fact is that his chance of getting elected is about as good as John-John's ability to fly under IFR.
From Wiki:
Controversies, campaign and personal
Kennedy has acknowledged being treated for cocaine use during his teenage years, and admitted that he abused drugs and alcohol while he was a student at Providence College.[6] He sought treatment for an OxyContin addiction in 2006.[7]
During Easter weekend in 1991, Kennedy and his father were in Palm Beach, Florida, along with Patrick's cousin, William Kennedy Smith. At Au Bar, the 23-year-old Patrick met a 27-year-old Testas Restaurant waitress, Michelle Cassone, and Smith met another woman, Patricia Bowman. Both women returned with the Kennedys to the family's beachfront retreat, where a series of events took place that resulted in Smith being charged with raping Bowman. The prosecution alleged that the three Kennedys collaborated to cover up this alleged crime. In a widely covered trial, Smith was acquitted.[8]
In 2000, Kennedy was accused of pushing a female security guard at Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, California. City prosecutors ultimately decided not to bring criminal charges against him and he paid an undisclosed civil settlement to the alleged victim almost two years later.[9][verification needed]
Also in 2000, Atlantic Navigation Company of Mystic, Connecticut, claimed that a boat they rented to Kennedy was found abandoned off Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, with US$28,000 worth of damage.[10][verification needed]
That same year, the U.S. Coast Guard was dispatched to Kennedy's yacht after he and his date became embroiled in an argument on his yacht off Martha's Vineyard.[11][dead link]
In 2003, Kennedy was criticized for saying "I have never worked a fucking day in my life", which his staff later claimed was a satirical reference to repeated charges of never having worked.[12]
In 2007, the Kennedy camp stated that they would retain $6,600 in donations from convicted Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu. Kennedy is one of the few Democrats not to return or donate these contributions. This is a controversial action because of the allegation that Hsu had been using his personal funds to unfairly influence Washington.[13]
In February 2007[2], Kennedy was asked to refrain from receiving Holy Communion by his Bishop, Thomas Tobin. Kennedy said the bishop had explained the penalty by telling him that I am not a good practicing Catholic because of the positions that Ive taken as a public official, particularly on abortion.
[edit]Capitol Hill impaired-driving accident
On May 4, 2006, Kennedy crashed his 1997 Ford Mustang convertible into a barricade on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., at 2:45 a.m. A Capitol Police official said the congressman had appeared intoxicated when he crashed his car, but Kennedy claimed that he was merely disoriented from prescription medications Ambien and Phenergan.[dead link][14]. Anonymous sources are alleged to have seen Kennedy drinking at the nearby Hawk & Dove bar prior to the accident.[15][16] Kennedy also stated to officers that he was "late for a vote". However, the last vote of the night had occurred almost six hours earlier. The standard field sobriety test was not administered, and Kennedy was driven home by an officer.
On May 5, 2006, Kennedy admitted that he had an addiction to prescription medication and announced he would be re-admitting himself to a drug-rehabilitation facility at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota where he has sought treatment for prior addictions.[17] He has stated that he has no recollection of the car crash. On May 8, 2006, Kennedy got a show of support when he was endorsed by the Rhode Island Democratic Party.[18] On June 5, 2006, Kennedy was released from drug rehabilitation.[19]
Kennedy's written narrative of the motor vehicle accident in April 2006.
After being asked if he expected any special treatment from authorities, Kennedy expressed that he hoped they would treat him as if he "were an African American in Anacostia".[20] On June 13, 2006, Kennedy made a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to a charge of driving under the influence of prescription drugs.[21] He was sentenced to one-year probation and a fine of $350. Two of the three charges (reckless driving and failure to exhibit a driving permit) were dismissed. He was also ordered to attend a rehabilitation program that includes weekly urine tests, twice-weekly meetings with a probation officer, near-daily Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and a weekly meeting of recovering addicts.[22]
On Friday, June 12, 2009, Kennedy once again announced that he has "checked into a medical facility for treatment". In a statement to the press, Kennedy said that his recovery is a "lifelong process" and that he will do whatever it takes to preserve his health. "I have decided to temporarily step away from my normal routine to ensure that I am being as vigilant as possible in my recovery," Kennedy said. He did not disclose where he was being treated.
Kennedy, who has wrestled with alcoholism, bipolar disorder, an addiction to prescription drugs and bouts of binge drinking, has often spoken publicly about his recovery and the importance of removing any stigma associated with mental illnesses. He has been a leading voice in Congress on mental-health issues.
"I hope that in some small way my decision to be proactive and public in my efforts to remain healthy can help remove the stigma that has served as a barrier for many Americans reluctant to get the help they needed," he said.[23]
This may be one of the longest "controversies" sections of a biography on Wiki. I'm not sure I copied all of it, either.
Father's death lead to decision not to run....
Entirely possible - After Ted died, there is no one remaining in the family with enough power and influence to cover-up Patches' drinking, drugs and mental illness.
With his father's death he:
1) Inherited a ton of money so why work.
2) Doesn't have the old man to cover for him in Congress anymore.
Your post parallels my sister and my conversation this morning.
IMO Patrick could never please his father....Never the perfect political son...Maybe since there are no more family heads putting pressure on family members (Even VIcky said no to running) Patches will finally find peace and sobriety. At least he went to rehab which is more than you can say for his father.
One of his interest is Autism. Is there a reason?
I'll say it did. Daddy is no longer around to fix those little problems Patches seems to keep finding himself in. Plus, he seems to have recently come into a great deal of daddy's money. No real reason to work any more.
Entitlement attitude.
I smell BS here. By chance are his polls in the dumpster?
I trace their woes to the old man, Joe Sr. Not a nice guy at all. Rose should have whacked him with the nearest frying pan, but I guess in those days, there weren't many options for women who left their husbands. The thing is that all of the Kennedy women continued to put up with bad behavior of their husbands. Perhaps it was because they were Catholic, but it might have been that they wouldn't know what to do without all that money. They became addicted to the power and prestige.
Guess money doesn't buy happiness after all.

Coach Ford sat down with Go Pokes to preview the season, with thoughts about the Cowboys' key players.
"This team has come together with the type of players that I like," Ford said. "We have guys that can score, we have guys that can defend and we have athleticism. The one weakness we have right now is that we are not an overly physical team at the five spot … Every team has weaknesses, but it's not one that keeps me up a night."
G Markel Brown: Junior / 6-3 / 190
"I reminded him of this the other day – I know you haven't started your junior year yet, but you're the most experienced player on our team," Ford said. "You've almost got to act like a senior. We saw glimpses of that experience and maturity hopefully coming to the top with him … Markel is like a fatherly figure to these guys."
G/F LeBryan Nash: Sophomore / 6-7 / 230
"We knew there was going to be an adjustment period for LB," Ford said. "He went through his ups and downs, and most freshmen do. LB had just been so used to dominating at a level physically where he could take plays off and decide when he's going to play – he developed those habits. We knew it was going to take some time … I think all of these things are going to make him a better player," Ford said. "I think the guys we've added are going to help him, I won't say make him better, but they will help. He doesn't have all the pressure."
C Michael Cobbins: RS Sophomore / 6-8 / 220
"I'm a big Michael Cobbins fan," Ford said. "With that said, he knows I've got to have more from him. We tell him, 'Do you know how many players would love to have the opportunity that you have. You're going to be here four years. You won't sit back like most players do. So what do you want out of it?'"
G Marcus Smart: Freshman / 6-4 / 225
"He just competes to win on every play," Ford said. "Whether it's diving for a loose ball, making a steal, making a pass, he's just competing to win. That's contagious, and that's something our team needed. We knew we had really good young players, but we needed everybody to step it up."
G Phil Forte: Freshman / 5-11 / 195
"He's a guy we're going to have a hard time keeping off the court," Ford said. "The number one thing I was impressed by Phil Forte in Spain was defense. He might be our best defender. Everybody knows he can shoot from 25 feet. He'll make an impact on this team."
F Kamari Murphy: Freshman / 6-8 / 210
"Kumari Murphy may have been the biggest surprise (in Spain)," Ford said. "He ended up leading us in rebounding … He's a guy who's going to get in there, and you talk about motor that runs, and doesn't mind competing. He's just really excited about getting after it, which this team needed."
G Kirby Gardner: Junior / 6-2 / 200
"He brings an experienced point that can play some two," Ford said. "He's built very strong … For junior college players, it's always an adjustment to this level, always. Well, he's not going to have to be 'the guy.' He'll play a role early and establish himself."
C Phillip Jurick: Senior / 6-11 / 260
"Jurick is ahead of schedule right now," Ford said. "If he gets healthy, that really changes things for us … He's still suspended from the team, if he satisfies all that, then we will play a big lineup at times."
G/F Jean-Paul Olukemi: Senior / 6-6 / 215
"He played well, he didn't play bad (in Spain)," Ford said. "I didn't play him much, but he was the fifth leading scorer. That's just what he does."
F/C Marek Soucek: Sophomore / 7-0 / 235
"Marek Soucek has really improved more than any player on our team, as far as where he was at this point last year," Ford said. "We knew we had a 7-foot guy who could shoot and had an extreme understanding of the game. But physically, he could not compete. He might as well just thrown his skills out the door because he doesn't use any of them."

gee... 2 options:
1: Accept more tax hikes with ZERO cuts in spending, or
2: Fight for at least a little bit of cuts to our insane spending
I know this is a tough call for our spineless friends in Congress.
This is a terrible bill.
The U.S.A is a dictatorship with the news media as the dictators.
The new media created this "fiscal cliff" bs. And now they have these congressmen on a holiday rush voting for this bs to avoid a non-existent media created cliff. All this under the direction of the media. I bet none of these congressmen even read the bill that is being voted on.
Option 3: Walk out and make the Obama administration own this mess. Sure,the Republicans would be blamed by the media for awhile, but that is their fault for not taking over the narrative in the first place.
Later, people would hopefully see through Obama when he tries to lower the definition of "rich" again and it hits them.

Twitter's New Logo Is Sharp And Sitting Proud
So Twitter's new logo is not so much a new logo design, but it is a sharp looking restyle. Less of a hair-sprayed quiff: more of a rock hard waxed spike style, and I like it very much.
Take a look at the last image below where I have overlayed the new Twitter Bird (solid blue) over the old (light tint). Comparing the differences in this way it becomes clear that the restyle was done with great care and reasoning.
Everything about the new shape is: improved, simplified and refined, but I'm not just talking about aesthetics here. This little chap is still cute, but it's stature now has a much greater air of confidence and intent.
It's been sharpened but still retains the cutesy curves.
It has now shed it's duckling fluff and puppy fat curls, and in it's place a bright, confident and proud adult has emerged.
It's uplifting and wants to encourage you to "speak up and out".
It's broadcasting up and outward with vigour, enthusiasm and power. Just check the significant change in body language and position: let all hear me that want to hear me.
Great great work Twitter. Great work. This is a masterful refresh that is loaded to the hilt with positive meaning. This example shows, in the right hands of course, that a careful and sympathetic refresh of an existing logo mark can provide the most meaningful of results.
As Twitter explains: Our new bird grows out of love for ornithology, design within creative constraints, and simple geometry. This bird is crafted purely from three sets of overlapping circles — similar to how your networks, interests and ideas connect and intersect with peers and friends. Whether soaring high above the earth to take in a broad view, or flocking with other birds to achieve a common purpose, a bird in flight is the ultimate representation of freedom, hope and limitless possibility.
Starting today you'll begin to notice a simplified Twitter bird. From now on, this bird will be the universally recognizable symbol of Twitter. (Twitter is the bird, the bird is Twitter.) There's no longer a need for text, bubbled typefaces, or a lowercase "t" to represent Twitter.
Twitter just hasn't revised the brand logo as they have made that step from brand name to no brand name. No more will you see the Twitter word mark. I'm personally not sure so on this part of the plan due to the prolific nature of 3rd party generated Twitter birds. The Twitter word mark, at least to me, was just as solid a part of the Twitter brand as the Twitter Bird, but do fully agree that the initial T is surplus to requirements.
It's a always a bold bold move when a brand removes the brand name from the identity, such as Starbucks. If anyone can pull it off then Twitter can.
You can visit Twitter's brand and trademark page to see how the new changes are used in the real world.

BROADCASTS: TV - FS Wisconsin. Radio - AM-620.
About the 76ers: Philadelphia finished 5-3 on a just completed home stand, the first time the 76ers have played eight games in a row at home since March and April 1986. Nick Young scored 29 points in the 76ers' 107-90 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night. Fourth-year point guard Jrue Holiday is the youngest player in franchise history to be named an NBA all-star, at age 22. Injured center Andrew Bynum experienced pain in his left knee during recent workouts and had to back off a bit. It's still unclear when he will be able to make his 76ers debut after being acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers in an off-season trade. Lavoy Allen had 14 points and a career-high 22 rebounds against Charlotte on Saturday, becoming the first Philadelphia player to post those numbers in a single game since Samuel Dalembert in March 2009.
G Nick Young, 6-7, USC
G Jrue Holiday, 6-4, UCLA
F Evan Turner, 6-7, Ohio State
F Lavoy Allen, 6-9, Temple
C Spencer Hawes, 7-1, Washington
Coach: Doug Collins (third season, 98-100; 11th overall, 430-387).
Injury report: Andrew Bynum (bilateral knee bone bruises), Jason Richardson ( left knee synovitis) and Thaddeus Young (left hamstring strain) are out.
G Monta Ellis, 6-3, Lanier (Miss.)
G Brandon Jennings, 6-1, Oak Hill (Va.)
F Ersan Ilyasova, 6-10, Turkey
F Luc Mbah a Moute, 6-8, UCLA
C Samuel Dalembert, 6-11, Seton Hall
Coach: Jim Boylan (first season, 9-9; second overall, 33-41).

Hunters file brief to oppose wolf hunting with dogs
A group of Wisconsin hunters opposed to the use of dogs to hunt wolves has added its voice to a lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court.
The group, called Mainstream Wisconsin Hunters, received permission Tuesday to file a legal brief in a lawsuit attempting to stop the use of dogs to hunt wolves in Wisconsin.
"Mainstream Wisconsin Hunters are concerned that the lack of reasonable rules currently governing the use and training of dogs to hunt wolves will interfere with established deer, turkey, grouse and other hunts," said Henry Koltz, an attorney representing the group, in a statement issued Tuesday. "Any interference with Wisconsin's established hunts has the possibility to negatively impact thousands of Wisconsin jobs and the reported $1 billion economic impact of hunting in Wisconsin. We strongly recommend that DNR approve reasonable restrictions on the use of dogs for wolf hunting in order to protect Wisconsin jobs and preserve Wisconsin landowners' rights."
The group's brief is in support of a lawsuit filed in August against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Natural Resources Board. The lawsuit seeks to stop the DNR from authorizing the use of dogs to hunt wolves without the regulations necessary to "prevent deadly confrontations between dogs and wolves."
Wisconsin is the only state that authorizes the use of dogs to hunt wolves.
Although the use of dogs to hunt wolves has been barred on a temporary basis under a ruling by Dane County Circuit Court Judge Peter A. Anderson, defendants are seeking to vacate the court's earlier ruling and asking that dogs be allowed for wolf hunting and training purposes this season.
In opposition, plaintiffs, a federation of over 40 humane societies from across Wisconsin as well as private citizens and conservation organizations, will be asking the judge to find that the DNR's rule violates Wisconsin law by failing to include restrictions to prevent deadly physical encounters between dogs and wolves and will be seeking a permanent injunction until such restrictions are implemented.
The Wisconsin wolf hunting and trapping season opened Oct. 15. The DNR set the statewide wolf harvest quota at 201 wolves, 85 of which are reserved for tribal hunters.
Seventy-two wolves had been taken through Tuesday morning, according to the DNR.
Mainstream Wisconsin Hunters has nine members, all described as landowners and life-long hunters.
According to the statement released Tuesday, the group includes members in a 700-acre hunting camp in Bayfield County. They support restrictions on the use of dogs for wolf hunting, contending that unleashed dogs in pursuit of wolves will trespass upon their lands, disrupt habitat and degrade their hunting experience.
"Whether we are hunting, hiking or just enjoying the forest, we don't want our space disrupted by packs of dogs," said Bobbi Rongstad of Saxon, who hunts deer with rifle and bow on private lands she owns in Bayfield and Iron counties, in the statement. "By allowing unrestricted, year-round training of dogs on wolves across much of the state—before, during and after the hunting season—DNR is not being fair to the majority of Wisconsin hunters."
The statement also included this quote from Jeff Baylis of Cross Plains, described as a life-long deer and small game hunter:
"Dogs know no boundaries and are out of their owners control for much of the time. Besides leading to trespass situations and conflicts with landowners, DNR's failure to set limits on running dogs on wolves will drive wildlife from the areas that I hunt and disrupt my hunting enjoyment. While there is some logic to using dogs on animals that can be treed, wolves cannot be treed but instead will be cornered by a dog pack, which is likely to be a bloody, violent and cruel business."
In October, hunting organizations U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation, Safari Club International, the Wisconsin Bear Hunters Association and United Sportsmen of Wisconsin were granted a motion to intervene in the lawsuit on behalf of the DNR.
Jeremy Rine, attorney for the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation, said the group hopes to assist the DNR in the case by providing additional information from hunters who use dogs.
A hearing on the parties' cross-motions is scheduled Dec. 20 in Dane County Circuit Court.

Predictive text is a terrible way to enter text messages on a phone.
The trouble is that everything else is even worse. You can't squeeze any more keys on a phone unless you want to type those text messages with tweezers and a jeweller's loupe.
Stepping through all the letter combinations is slow and encourages the kind of hateful text message abbreviations my daughter likes to use.
My solution is (of course) as brilliant as it is radical: we should decimalise the alphabet.

When meeting other people in social situations you may be extremely welcoming today, and your hospitality could be borne from your desire to make other people feel comfortable and needed. Since giving to others, even something as simple as a warm smile, can be a wonderful way to show your affection for those around you, you might consider opening your heart to others so as to make certain that your generosity comes from a place that is pure and genuine. As you welcome or do something kind for another person today, perhaps you can imagine that your hug, handshake or smile is emanating directly from your heart, sharing the loving energy that comes from deep within you. Picturing your actions as being an extension of your true love could not only make you much more gracious and open to others but it might also deepen the connection between you as well.
When our actions are an extension of our heart we are much more receptive and able to give purely to those around us. It can be easy for us to have the desire to do things for other people, but sometimes we might not have the right intention. Being a giving and kindhearted person, however, is something that comes directly from our hearts, not our minds, and visualizing our actions as coming directly from this place of love helps us to cultivate this love in everything we do. By reaching out with your heart, your gifts will be authentic, earnest, and full of compassionate thought today.

From the IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal.
New technologies, new temptations
Service-oriented systems are currently all the rage, and rightfully so. It seems like only yesterday that service-oriented architecture (SOA) was the new buzzword, making us wonder whether this was just more marketing hype or a technology that would actually become useful -- similar to the thoughts we may have had about previous buzzword technologies, like Extensible Markup Language (XML) or, more recently, Web services.
As with XML and Web services, SOA architectures are now bearing fruit across the corporate IT landscape, thanks to useful enabling technologies, such as the Service Integration Bus in IBM® WebSphere® Application Server V6, and its product-ized big brother, the IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. As new technologies often do, however, these technologies have invited a whole new class of attacks on systems that implement them. IT specialists who take security and systems hardening seriously need to be constantly vigilant about the holes that new technologies can open into their systems. Hackers have moved their attention past traditional targets, perhaps due to the inevitable maturity of those platforms, or perhaps because they are now simply passe.
The new frontier for hackers is systems built on Web services and XML, seen as inviting due to their popularity and immaturity. One class of such attacks is defined as XML threats, where an XML document that has been structured to do harm is sent to your system. If a system can be accessed by outsiders (such as through the Internet), someone could send messages to your system in order to damage it, or even just to consume resources. It is possible that the offending client could even be authorized to use your system, but is trying to exploit that authorization in some inappropriate way. When XML and SOAP were described as the new IT "miracle drug," due to their ability to "pass through the firewall," some savvy computer specialists immediately saw the implications of this from a security perspective. Those firewalls were put there for a reason, no? Hackers view this "feature" as a free ride on the XMLmobile, waving at the firewall sentries as they happily pass by.
Often, programmers will leave the door open to attacks by using poor technique, like not strictly defining the types of data they expect as input to Web services. One example of this would be the use of the xml:any data type, as opposed to restricting input to an integer or string. This lets attackers send harmful XML for this attribute -- and as a perfectly legitimate input!
There are four broad classifications of XML threats:
- XML Denial of Service (xDoS) -- Slowing down or disabling a Web service so that valid service requests are hampered or denied.
- Unauthorized access -- Gaining unauthorized access to a Web service or its data.
- Data integrity/Confidentiality -- Attacks that strike at the data integrity of Web service responses, requests, or underlying databases.
- System compromise -- Corrupting the Web service itself or the servers that host it.
There are several types of attacks within these four broad classifications, which we will look at in a minute. Also, be aware that these can be single-message or multiple-message attacks.
Software-based application servers used to host Web services are generally quite vulnerable to these attacks; they are often run with XML validation off for performance reasons, and may not be looking out for most XML attack types. As we will see, once the XML hits the parser, it is too late. Worse, if your system accepts native XML documents without the complexity of Web services or SOAP, it is even easier to attack.
Specific types of XML threats
Specific types of attacks within the four broad categories are listed below. Several of these attack types are familiar; these same types of attack occur with any remotely accessible service (for example, message tampering). Other attacks, though not really unique to XML-based services, are much more likely to occur with such services given the nature of XML.
Single message xDoS
- Jumbo payloads -- Sending a very large XML message to exhaust memory and CPU on the target system.
- Recursive elements -- XML messages that can be used to force recursive entity expansion (or other repeated processing) to exhaust server resources. An example of this type of attack would be the billion laughs attack that is widely available through the Internet.
- MegaTags -- Otherwise valid XML messages containing excessively long element names, or an excessive number of tags. This attack may also lead to buffer overruns.
- Coercive parsing -- XML messages specially constructed to be difficult to parse to consume the resources of the machine.
- Public key DoS -- Utilizing the asymmetric nature of public key operations to force resource exhaustion on the recipient by transmitting a message with a large number of long-key-length, computationally expensive digital signatures.
Multiple message XDoS
- XML flood -- Sending thousands of otherwise benign messages per second to tie up a Web service. This attack can be combined with Replay attack to bypass authentication, and with Single message XDoS to increase its impact.
- Resource hijack -- Sending messages that lock or reserve resources on the target server as part of a never-completed transaction.
Unauthorized access
- Dictionary attack -- Guessing the password of a valid user using a brute force search through dictionary words.
- Falsified message -- Faking that a message is from a valid user, such as by using Man in the Middle to gain a valid message, and then modifying it to send a different message.
- Replay attack -- Re-sending a previously valid message for malicious effect, possibly where only parts of the message (such as the security token) are replayed.
Data integrity/Confidentiality
- Message tampering -- Modifying parts of a request or response in-flight; most dangerous when undetected (less commonly known as Message alteration).
- Data tampering -- Exploiting weakness in the access control mechanism that permits the attacker to make unauthorized calls to the Web service to alter data.
- Message snooping -- A direct attack on data privacy by examining all or part of the content of a message. This can happen to messages being transmitted in the clear, transmitted encrypted but stored in the clear, or decryption of messages due to stolen key or cryptoanalysis.
- XPath/XSLT injection -- Injection of expressions into the application logic. Newer modifications include Blind XPath injection, which reduces the knowledge required to mount the attack.
- SQL injection -- Inserting SQL in XML to obtain additional data than what the service was designed to return.
- WSDL enumeration -- Examining the services listed in WSDL to guess and gain access to unlisted services.
- Message snooping -- Using SOAP routing header for access to internal Web services.
Systems compromise
- Malicious include -- Causing a Web service to include invalid external data in output or return privileged files from the server file system. For example, using embedded file: URLs to return UNIX password files or other privileged data to the attacker.
- Memory space breach -- Accomplished via stack overflow, buffer overrun, or heap error, enables execution of arbitrary code supplied by the attacker with the permissions of the host process.
- XML encapsulation -- Embedding system command in the XML payload, such as through the CDATA tag.
- XML virus (X-Virus) -- Using SOAP with attachments or other attachment mechanisms to transmit malicious executables, such as viruses or worms.
XML threat protection
Now that I've scared you (hopefully), let's talk about how to protect systems from these attacks. The solution is to use a hardened Web services-aware gateway. This new type of high performance appliance can process incoming XML messages with validation turned on, while looking for XML threats. Because these devices run at wire speeds and are hardened, they are appropriate for usage in the DMZ as a front-line of attack, whereas software-based proxies or gateways are not due to the complexity of their underlying platforms and slow parsing/processing.
IBM recently acquired a company called DataPower® that offers such products and can protect against these types of threats. These products are hardware appliances that are completely hardened "out of the box" in many ways; for example, they contain no true operating system or hard drive.
The primary DataPower front end configuration objects (Multi-protocol gateway, XML firewall, application firewall, and Web services proxy) all contain a configuration page for XML threats that can be used to protect against the specific types of threats listed above. In fact, some of these threats are protected by DataPower without any configuration at all, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Threat protection configuration
Another section of the XML threats configuration page, specific to single-message attack types, offers the ability to limit message, attachment and node sizes, attribute counts, and element depths -- precisely the kinds of things used in the single-message attacks we have discussed.
A third section of the same page, specific to multiple-message attacks, provides the particularly useful ability to define specific interval sizes, during which only a certain number of requests will be allowed -- if you wish, this can be specific to a particular IP address or subnet.
Finally, the XML threats pane can also provide against unwanted protocols (or lower versions of certain protocols reaching your Web services hosting servers), as well as protection against XML viruses, which is provided by either removing or limiting circumstances where attachments can be included in messages. There are also exits available so that the viruses can be scanned by an external virus scanner. Protection against more elaborate attacks such as SQL injection and Dictionary attacks require more customized configuration, such as user-defined dictionaries containing allowable syntax. XML threat protection is only a small part of what these amazing devices can do.
To truly harden a system using Web services, you need to perform several important security steps (recommended by Gartner and others), including:
- inspect messages for well-formedness.
- validate schema.
- verify digital signatures.
- sign messages.
- implement service virtualization to mask internal resources via XML transformation and routing.
- encrypt data at the field level.
Other types of monitoring for the types of attacks mentioned above are also needed, as well as configurations to ensure compliance with service-level agreements. These intensive actions can be performed by gateway devices, such as DataPower, at the front-end - at a significant savings in back-end resource consumption and configuration. Systems hosting Web services, particularly public Internet-facing ones, should seriously consider the case for hardened gateway devices acting as XML firewalls to protect your systems from XML threats.
Protect yourself -- the threats are out there, and they want to do you harm.

Contact Us
We are a professional and highly motivated chartered architectural practice based in Cartmel, Cumbria. We aim to combine imaginative and functional design in order to maximise the potential of each individual project and capitalise on the uniqueness of every situation and brief.
We also specialise in the conservation and repair of historic buildings and structures. One of our directors is an Architect Accredited in Building Conservation (AABC) and our skills and commitment to the historic environment enable us to be involved with many Churches, listed buildings and heritage assets across the region.
We are interested in all aspects and sizes of architectural projects, for both private and public sector clients. If you have a project you would like to discuss with us, or are just looking for some advice, please do not hesitate to telephone, email or write.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Environmental Policy
The construction industry is responsible for a large percentage of the world's pollution. It is therefore essential that the construction and lifetime costs of a building project are correctly considered.
We, as a practice, are committed to an environmentally responsible approach towards the construction of new buildings and the conversion / re-use of existing buildings. The specification of materials and building services should be evaluated against the backdrop of the following criteria:
longevity of materials and long term maintenance
lifetime energy usage with regard to carbon emissions
embodied energy usage from manufacture to supply
long-term environmental effects on end users, installers and dismantlers
potential for re-use / recycling
impact to immediate environment and local services
The individual importance of each of these criteria will vary from project to project dependent on each client's requirements. However, this evaluation is an integral part of our design process.
New or potential projects are assessed at a free initial consultation. On the basis of the initial consultation we will then make an appropriate fee proposal based on the type, scale and complexity of the project.
We set out our services based on the RIBA Plan of Work, which divides the design and construction process into convenient Work Stages. Our services and fees are usually based on these Work Stages.
If you are not sure on the scope of a project, or just require advice or assistance, we can look at providing a feasibility study in order to determine the parameters.
