USCA, Second Circuit, June 10, 2014
Second Circuit rules that doctrine of "fair use" allows consortium of university libraries to create full-text searchable database of copyrighted works and to provide those works in formats accessible to people with disabilities.
Beginning in 2004, several research universities agreed to allow Google to electronically scan the books in their collections; the universities later announced plans to create a repository for the digital copies and founded an organization called HathiTrust to set up and operate the HathiTrust Digital Library (HDL). The Second Circuit addressed whether the doctrine of fair use protected HDL's use of copyrighted material against claims of infringement asserted by several authors and authors' associations.
HathiTrust permits three uses of the copyrighted works in the HDL repository. First, HathiTrust allows the general public to search for particular terms across all digital copies in the repository. Unless the copyright holder authorizes broader use, the search results show only the page numbers on which the search term is found within the work and the number of times the term appears on each page. Second, the HDL allows member libraries to provide access to the full text of copyrighted works to patrons with certified print disabilities (generally, people with visual impairments, other physical disabilities, or learning disabilities that prevent them from reading printed text). Third, by preserving the copyrighted books in digital form, the HDL permits members to create a replacement copy of the work if the member already owned an original copy; the member's original copy is lost, destroyed, or stolen; and a replacement copy is unobtainable at a "fair" price elsewhere.
The district court granted the defendants' motions for summary judgment on the basis of fair use, giving considerable weight to what it found to be the "transformative" nature of the HDL's uses of the works.
On appeal, the Second Circuit considered whether each of these uses is protected within the meaning of copyright law, specifically Section 107 of the Copyright Act, which sets out the four elements that must be assessed in a fair-use analysis:
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
As to full-text search and the purpose and character of its use of copyrighted works, the appeals court viewed the creation of a full-text searchable database as a "quintessentially transformative use" because it created new uses for the books and did not merely replicate or repackage the books. Regarding the second and third fair-use factors, although the authors contended that the copying is excessive because the HDL creates and maintains copies of the works at four different locations, the court found that these copies are reasonably necessary in order to facilitate the HDL's legitimate, transformative uses. For instance, the HDL had to copy the entirety of each copyrighted work in other to make each work text-searchable.
As to the fourth factor, market effect, the court found that the full-text search function does not serve as a substitute for the books that are being searched. It was irrelevant, the court said, that the defendants might be willing to purchase licenses in order to engage in this transformative use (if the use were deemed unfair). Lost licensing revenue matters only when the use serves as a substitute for the original, and the full-text-search use does not.
Accordingly, the court held that the balance of relevant factors favored the defendants and that the doctrine of fair use allows the defendants to digitize copyrighted works for the purpose of permitting full-text searches.
Next, the court concluded that the doctrine of fair use allows the libraries to provide full digital access to copyrighted works to their print-disabled patrons. While this access is not transformative (because each work is merely being repackaged), the court nonetheless found it to be a proper use because Congress has consistently "reaffirmed its commitment to ameliorating the hardships faced by the blind and the print disabled." The second factor weighed against fair use, because each work being copied was protected. As to the third factor, the court found that the entirety of each work had to be copied in several formats and stored in several locations in order to enable print-disabled patrons to access the works. The fourth factor, market effect, weighed in favor of fair use because the market for books accessible to print-disabled patrons is "so insignificant" that publishers often forgo royalties in order to facilitate access by the print disabled.
Accordingly, the court held that the balance of relevant factors favored the defendants and that the doctrine of fair use allows the defendants to copy protected works for the purpose of making those works accessible to print-disabled patrons.
Finally, the appellate court vacated the district court's ruling as to the book replacement program, concluding that claims were speculative and not ripe for adjudication.

What happens when you pluck five photographers and five athletes from the clutches of August and throw them into a Chilean winter? And what do you get if you add an interrupted military exercise, drinking games with Hermann Maier's groupies, a 5,000-foot couloir, and Chilean hotties dancing on table? Usually just sore legs and gonorrhea. Only we got dozens of coverworthy shots. For Skiing Magazine's 2008 South American Photo Challenge, the athlete-and-photographer teams were given six days to shoot for five categories: Creative Angle, Powder, Air, Big-Mountain, and Ski Culture. On the final night, each team presented a slideshow to an audience of 300 skiers, who voted to determine an overall winner. Here are the highlights.
Photo: Athlete Chad Sayers photographed by Jordan Manley. "We thought we were on track but we weren't sure we were going to win," says Manley. "There was a lot of talent there. Anyone could've take the cake."

By Angela Peacock
At an age when most boys were riding stick horses, Dathan Garcia went for the real thing.
Dathan, 15, is a third-generation award-winning rodeo competitor who began competing at age 2, after his father Danny entered him into a team roping competition.
Danny used his horse to guide his infant son, who rode his own horse, in a competition that Danny said left him with a most cherished memory of his son.
"He's been riding since he was a baby," said Danny. "He had such good balance he could really go good at it. We actually won the event."
That was just the start of Dathan's winning way. Since beginning his rodeo career, Dathan has won a horse trailer, 15 saddles, ropes, jackets and over 50 belt buckles. He said being the best in any rodeo event takes dedication, a love for the sport and an understanding that, in the rodeo business, there is only one winner.
When Dathan isn't practicing his calf roping, team roping or bull riding he can be found practicing for football, basketball or for FFA competitions — depending on the time of season. No matter what sport or activity Dathan participates in, he approaches it with the same attitude.
"I always try to stay competitive and try to be the best there is," Dathan said. "I takes a lot of hard work if you want to be good. And hard work teaches you responsibility and builds character."
Dathan was Texas' High School Rookie of the Year in 2002. Though Dathan has already earned a name for himself at only age 15, he said he'll never forget who taught him everything.
"My dad is my biggest inspiration. I've seen him do it for so long and he's so good and I admire his love for the sport," Dathan said of his father, who is the rodeo coach at Mesalands Community College.
"My grandfather was named a 'Living Legend' by the USTRCA Rodeo Association. My grandfather is 70 and he still ropes to this day."
After high school Dathan plans to get his college education, but not without continuing to pursue is life long of dream of competing in a National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Despite Dathan's successes his father said he hopes his son always remembers to show good sportsmanship to other competitors because in the rodeo business somebody always loses.
"More than anything, I hope Dathan doesn't forget that without God he has nothing," Danny said, "and that he always remembers to thank God for everything he has given him."
Whether Dathan is working in the classroom on the field as a quarter back, running back, safety or linebacker. Logan football head coach Billy Burns said he always makes sound decisions.
"He's a smart player," Burns said, "the kind who does things right, and he's the same type of kid off the field. Everything Dathan does he's going to do it well."
"He's a winner — the kind of kid that you want to have on your team. He has a strong desire to win and be number one in everything he does, and through that he makes his teammates better."

Last Friday, the Postano team was very excited to be a part of the keynote panel at WebVisions in New York City. Partnering with our friends at Oregon Film, we created a Postano that pulled in live tweets with the hashtag #portlandia, which was then displayed on the big screen behind Portlandia stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein.
As big Portlandia fans in the office (how can we not love a show that pokes fun of the Postano team's home base), our fanboy/girl moment when Fred Armisen turned around mid-panel, looked at the Postano on screen and said, "Wow." He then proceeded to read several of the tweets from the screen, and when he saw one from an audience member, he asked the audience to claim the tweet (@rpmkel took credit for the tweet).
We loved seeing the way people interacted with Postano, and how it brought the conversation happening online about Portlandia to life. Because Postano was able to curate all tweets with the #Portlandia hashtag, and then extract the media from behind the tweet (photos, links, videos), it provided a visually compelling, rich-media display to go along with the presentation.
Here are a few snaps we took at the event. The Postano on screen is in the background:

Common Good
Stealing From The Poor
This article originally appeared on The New Theological Movement written by Reginaldus on July 29, 2010 Anno Domini. Re-posted with permission.
18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Luke 12:13-21
The rich man of this Sunday's Gospel is blessed with a bountiful harvest. Rather than thanking God for this gift, he hoards the grain in his barns – his heart is possessed by his possessions. At the moment of death, the Lord calls him a fool, for he was not rich in what matters to God.
The Fathers of the Church, and St. Thomas Aquinas following them, see in this parable a strong teaching of social justice. Their teachings have in turn been integrated into the Social Doctrine of the Church. Here we will consider St. Thomas' exposition of the doctrine as well as several important quotations from the Church Fathers.?
The common destination of all goods and right to private property
We must first affirm that man has a right to own private property. All men have a natural right to make use of material goods. According to positive human law, men also have a right to private property – this is necessary for the good order of society and the proper care of the goods themselves, it also serves as a means of restraining greed and inciting toward generosity (a man can give alms only if he has some property of his own).
However, it is equally clear in the Church's Tradition, as expressed by the Fathers of the Church and magisterial teachings, that the right to private property is subordinate to the universal destination of all goods. That is, the right to private property cannot be extended to the point of depriving others of the basic material necessities of life. Every man has the right to the material necessities of life – when he is deprived of these, while another has excess wealth, a grave injustice has occurred.
Why I am Filing for Separation from the Democratic Party
I have decided to take some time away from my Democratic Party membership- this includes resigning as Vice President of Florida Democrats for Life. I have been a Democrat in spirit from the age of 13, when I took the initiative to volunteer many hours for the 1976 Jimmy Carter presidential campaign.This decision is not a flippant one. I will not trade one major party for another, I am going in an Independent direction and would like to found an American-version, Common Good Party, when time permits.

Pope Speaks About Economics Again, "It's the Natural Law, Stupid"
After calling for Catholics to be liberated from their pet ideologies, Pope Benedict is helping flesh out a moral economic vision that puts the standard Left- socialism/Right- Free Markets debate into the dust bin for faithful Catholics. The bottom-line seems obvious to me- you can't demonize government and you can't demonize business- both bring difficulties into play- over-regulation can harm economic development, but lack of regulation can lead to corporate dominance which is a problem when one considers that corporations typically are upfront about being in existence to pad their investor's bank accounts, not being much concerned with the universal common good. Our Pope clarifies the inherent morality(read Natural Law) in the economy in this article from one of my favorite web sites Zenit.org:
Pope Benedict Warns Against Marxist Liberation Theology
Common Good, Common Sense Economics
Given that the Church offers no exacting technical program for getting the job of the common good accomplished in any given state or global community. But does offer a blueprint of values and insights into the necessity of applying the Gospel to our social conditions- to include economics- I offer this past guest column I wrote shortly after my run for Florida state house. It addresses some conditions particular to the state of Florida, but it contains an outline of general responsibilities that could be applied at any level of governance.
Catholic View of the Political Community (part 4)
We continue the test of our Catholic worldview on the subject of the role of the Political Community- drawing upon Chapter 8 in the authoritative Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. We have looked at the Old Testament (#377-378) and Jesus' interaction with political authorities #379) to see the development of doctrine relating to how we are to regard the political community. Now we turn to "The early Christian communities".
Grassroots Push for Democrats for Life
Here is a blog I wrote for fladems4life.org- this is the website for Florida Democrats for Life organization- If you are a Democrat and pro-life you should seriously consider joining the National and State chapters for Democrats for Life. There is a lot of freedom for you to bring your ideals and ideas into these growing organizations. I believe it is mostly a waste of time trying to turn Democrats into Republicans or vice versa- there is a philosophy of governance that pulls deeper than individual issues- even big issues like abortion.
Basic Health Care and the Common Good, A Conservative Response
Eric wrote what I think is a very good and heartfelt post about Catholic Social Teaching and Health Care Reform. Because this is exactly the sort of substantive discussion that American Catholic was intended to foster, I'd like to see if I can pick up some of the themes which he brought up and explore them specifically from a small government conservative and free market angle.
To start with, I'd like to make a distinction between levels of care, though such things are always slippery because medical science advances so rapidly in our modern world. First, there is basic health care. This includes most of the healthcare which goes on most of the time in the US — unless you're well outside the norm it's probably all that you've needed within the last year.
Cardinal George's Official Statment on Abortion
As Jim Lackey of the Catholic News Service says, "straight off the presses". Cardinal George released a statement roughly around 1:00 pm Central Standard Time. I'll put some commentary later this evening, in the time being here is the official statement by the USCCB concerning President-elect Obama and abortion [emphasis and commentary mine]:
STATEMENT of the President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
"If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do its builders labor; if the Lord does not watch over the city, in vain does the watchman keep vigil." (Psalm 127, vs. 1)
The Bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States welcome this moment of historic transition and look forward to working with President-elect Obama and the members of the new Congress for the common good of all [nice to see the bishops say 'all' to encompass the unborn children and encapsulate them within the common good]. Because of the Church's history and the scope of her ministries in this country, we want to continue our work for economic justice and opportunity for all; our efforts to reform laws around immigration and the situation of the undocumented; our provision of better education and adequate health care for all, especially for women and children; our desire to safeguard religious freedom [this is important as it relates to FOCA later] and foster peace at home and abroad. The Church is intent on doing good and will continue to cooperate gladly with the government and all others working for these goods [excellent summary of the mission of the Church in America, from economic justice to reformation of immigration law, better education, adequate health care, and the fostering of peace here and abroad].
The fundamental good is life itself, a gift from God and our parents. A good state protects the lives of all [amen]. Legal protection for those members of the human family waiting to be born in this country was removed when the Supreme Court decided Roe vs. Wade in 1973. This was bad law [I would say "this is bad law"]. The danger the Bishops see at this moment is that a bad court decision will be enshrined in bad legislation [here is where FOCA is alluded to] that is more radical than the 1973 Supreme Court decision itself.

Amanda Bynes Cuts Ties With Parents, Calls Perez Hilton 'The Scum Of The Earth'
It seems like every day there's more developments in Amanda Bynes' life - and not in a good way. The actress regularly posts new information about what's happening to her on Twitter, including the revelation that she's not speaking to her parents.
After going public about their concerns for their daughter, Bynes tweeted on Thursday: "I don't speak to my parents anymore, they don't talk to reporters on my behalf. Don't believe anything you read about me unless I tweet it. My friends don't speak on my behalf either. Please don't read anything about me needing help. That offends me."
Bynes, 27, is likely annoyed about a tabloid that suggested her family was "very upset" about reports questioning the star's mental health. She has made headlines over the past several months for her erratic actions, which has included everything from strange behavior during a gymnastics class to asking rapper Drake to murder her vagina.
On Friday, Bynes lashed out at blogger Perez Hilton after he posted unflattering images of her on his website. In response, she shared a photo of him looking not so great, writing how much hotter she looked than him.
She tweeted: "I'm so sick of you saying you're sincerely worried about me. At least pick a photo from my Twitter if you won't stop talking about me. Leave me alone! You are the scum of the earth!! Pick better photos f**ker! Perez Hilton is ugly, has never had a hot boyfriend. He makes being gay look bad! No one wants to be a single parent bc no man wants them..."
Hilton seemed unphased about her post and uploaded an old image of himself posing with Bynes. He wrote: "Look at how fat I was in this pic! Wowsa (sic)!" He also tweeted, "How can you ignore someone who won't stop saying 'Look at me!'? You can't. Especially when they're saying 'Look at me!' very loudly!
Last month, Amanda threatened to sue Hilton and Us Magazine over photos of her holding a shirt over her head to avoid the paparazzi.
Bynes shields her face with a gold metallic Louis Vuitton handbag while out and about in New York City earlier this month.

North Carolina - Moldova Partnership
Medical supplies and treatment:
In 1998, Dr. Mort Meltzer in North Carolina collected donations of medicines to send to Moldova. These were sent to Col. Frank Swett by mail for distribution to a variety of institutions in Moldova. These included the Central Military Hospital, the Emanuel Christian Medical Center, The Ceadir-Lunga Hospital, and the Republican Children's Hospital.
Several Moldovans have been sent to North Carolina for medical treatment not available in Moldova. They include three children needing surgery, and a Moldovan Transnistrian Conflict hero, Colonel Igor Snitko – who received new artificial legs at Wake Medical Center in Raleigh, NC.
In August 1999 a North Carolina National Guard C-130 aircraft delivered a load of donated humanitarian equipment and medicines to Moldova. This included X-Ray equipment, infant incubators, electro cardiograph equipment (ekg), sonograph test equipment, critical care monitors, surgical instruments, surgical tables, stretchers, blood transfusion equipment, glucometers, dental chairs, and other equipment. The equipment was distributed to the Central Military Hospital, the Jewish Hesed, the Emanuel Christian Medical Center, The Ceadir-Lunga Hospital, the City Mother and Children's Hospital, the Republican Children's Hospital, and the Republican Hospital.
In March of 2000, it was learned that Moldova had a shortage of funding for medical insulin for the diabetic children of Moldova. There are 318 children from the entire republic treated for diabetes at the Republican Children's Hospital in Chisinau. Due to the funding shortfall, that treatment would have been stopped. A message was sent to North Carolina asking for assistance. Dr. Mort Meltzer contacted E. I. Lilly Pharmaceuticals, who agreed to donate $77,000.00US in human insulin for these kids. This was a ten months supply for the entire country. It was delivered on the same day that the Minister of Health had scheduled a press conference to inform the families of the treated kids that treatment would stop! Thanks to the efforts of North Carolinians, the entire tone of the Press Conference changed! A shipment of glucometers was also given to the Republican Children's Hospital so that the kids could be monitored from home without having to come in to the hospital regularly for blood sugar monitoring.
In July 2000, a load of donated Humanitarian equipment was delivered on a USAF C-17 aircraft as a part of a deployment of North Carolina Army National Guard Engineers to Moldova. The engineers built a clinic at the orphanage at Straseni, Moldova. The equipment included a laser for optical surgery, dental equipment, dialysis equipment, heart monitors, and X-Ray equipment. The equipment was distributed to hospitals and clinics in Chisinau, and to the clinic at Straseni.
Dr. Eric Fee, a family practice physician from High Point, NC donated two months of his time to work in Moldova in the summer of 2000. He worked in Chisinau, orphanages in the Chisinau vicinity, and spent the second month in Gagauzia helping to develop family practice clinics.
On approximately July 15, 2001, a North Carolina Air National Guard C-130 departed from Charlotte, North Carolina bound for Chisinau. Aboard the plane there was several volunteer medical personnel who distributed hepatitis vaccinations to Moldovan citizens. The hepatitis vaccinations are being paid for the by the US Army European Command and the flight is funded by the the NCANG.
The Moldova Hospice Project. The goal of the project is to create a hospice facility, the Prosperarea-Zubresti, in the village of Zubresti, Moldova. It will have a service area of 26,000 people in 13 villages. The project is a cooperative effort of The Carolinas Center for Hospice and End of Life Care, The Rotary Club of Greensboro, and other Rotary Clubs in NC, and the NC National Guard.
At the end of April 2001, 12 nurses and 3 doctors accompanied Pat Ashworth, a hospice nurse from Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro, for two weeks of training in Brasov, Romania, where they learned basic concepts in hospice and palliative care. They brought their new skills back to Zubresti in mid-May, where they began working to establish a hospice team and provide hospice services to patients in their own homes.
In addition to a $25,000US grant request submitted to Rotary International, Rotary clubs in central North Carolina have now pledged more than $30,000US as local matching funds for the grant. Grant funds will be used to completely renovate and furnish the former hospital in Zubresti, to become the hospice facility. Members hope for a positive response from Rotary International to this grant by mid summer.
Project participants are embarking on a fundraising campaign to raise the necessary money to provide for the operation of the hospice, not only this year, but in the years to come. We expect that the ongoing needs for the operation of the hospice will be about $80,000US per year. To date the fund has received contributions from hospices, corporations and individuals from NC, SC, GA, and FL.
Several pages of additional information about the Moldova Hospice Project, including photos, may be found on The Carolinas Center website:www.carolinasendoflifecare.org.

House of Marioara (battered women's shelter) is currently working with major Bob Sturge, chaplain for the Air National Guard in Charlotte, to obtain funding to assist with this project.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this project, please contact Ms. Sandy Carmany.
The Kanuga Organization has sponsored a myriad of projects in Moldova. In Drochia, in the northern part of Moldova, Kanuga completed the construction of a large foster home/small orphanage by adding a heating system, indoor plumbing furniture, appliances, and an emergency diesel generator.
The Kanuga organization also provides technical college or university schooling for the orphans/foster children of the home, as well as , treating all family members to summer camp experiences and visits to the United States.
In Ceadir-Lunga, at the children's hospital, Kanuga conducted the total reconstruction of the 120 bed main building, which was funded principally by the US Army European Command's Humanitarian Assistance program. Kanuga still provides minor assistance with operating expenses to the children's hospital.
At the high school in Lapusna, Kanuga rebuilt the heating system and also the interior lighting system. The US Army European Command Humanitarian Assistance Program (USEUCOM HA) also funded this. Kanuga helps to provide coal to fuel the school's new heating system and provides travel to the US and continuing education opportunities for a few of the school's students.
In a middle school in Unesti, with money from the USEUCOM HA Program, Kanuga rebuilt another heating system and also provides coal to fuel it.
Kanuga and USEUCOM renovated dormitories, bath and toilet facilities, kitchen, laundry classrooms and the heating system in a boarding school in Ungheni for about 460 abandoned and semi-abandoned children. Kanuga continues to provide coal to fuel the heating system.
If you have any questions about Kanuga or their projects, please contact Mr. Ray West
The Moldova Sponsorship program was one year old on January
1, 2002. Carolina Adoption Services' friends
and families now sponsor 43 Moldovan youth. The young people are oprhans who have aged out of the orphanage
system. The program allows them the opportunity to further their education or receive job training.
Orphanage directors recommend the candidates for the program based on their academic achievement, maturity,
and ability to succeed. Final approval comes from the Minister of Education. Students agree to maintain at
least semiannual contact with their sponsors. Sponsors in return send a monthly subsidy of $50 that covers
the cost of food, clothing, shelter, school supplies and transportation. For more information or to
sponsor a child contact Felice Gavin email@example.com
Carolina Adoption Services also provides aid to purchase food for the orphanages in Straseni and 500
blankets- one for each bed at the boarding school in Buicani. Additionally, 30 space heaters, 1000 bowls,
1000 spoons and 1000 forks were distributed among 5 orphanages.

Skip to comments.Obama Orders FDA to Reduce Drug Shortages (Executive Order)
Posted on 10/31/2011 1:56:39 PM PDT by Hunton Peck
Acting once again without Congress, President Obama on Monday was directing the Food and Drug Administration to take steps to reduce drug shortages that administration officials say have placed patients at risk and led to price gouging.
The president signed an executive order -- his fifth in a week -- instructing the FDA to take action absent congressional approval.
Last year, the FDA reported 178 drug shortages -- mainly cancer drugs, anesthetics, electrolytes and emergency room drugs -- and the agency says it continues to see an increase in shortages this year. The White House also announced Obama's support for House and Senate legislation that would require drug makers to notify the FDA six months ahead of a potential shortage. Under current regulations, drug manufactures are only required to notify the FDA if medically necessary drugs are being discontinued. Notification of shortages is strictly voluntary.
In remarks before he signed the order, Obama said drug shortages have nearly tripled over the past five years while Congress has foundered.
"Even though the FDA has successfully prevented an actual crisis, this is one of those slow-rolling problems that could end up resulting in disaster for patients and health care facilities all across the country," he said. "Congress has been trying since February to do something about this. It has not yet been able to get it done. And it is the belief of this administration ... that we can't wait for action on the Hill."
The executive action is part of an overarching push by the White House to portray Obama, who is facing ...

More likely, it's just another way to make noise about a supposed failure of capitalism.
Zer0 needs to start working on his rabbit-out-of-a-hat skillz.
To borrow from Milton Friedman:
If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand.
Right after he orders the sea levels to subside.
Hooray! We're saved! He loves us! He really loves us!
The past five years? Well, who's been running Congress for the past five year? Republicans have been running it for less than a year now. Who was running it before?
Nearly tripled? Interesting. Show me the math.
most likely by issuing "Emrgency Orders" ending the patent rights of drugs declared to be "Critical, and in shortage.", meaning the company hasn't paid enough to the Democrats...
I don't know if this is true or not, but it seems to me we're not far away from being third world.
I feel its kind of like how Mao ordered the Chinese bureaucracy to squeeze more grain out of the already starving peasants.
I command it be so!
The White House also announced Obama's support for House and Senate legislation that would require drug makers to notify the FDA six months ahead of a potential shortage. Under current regulations, drug manufactures are only required to notify the FDA if medically necessary drugs are being discontinued. Notification of shortages is strictly voluntary.
Something tells me we need less regulation, not more. He's putting another burden on the drug companies, and an incentive to put capital elsewhere.
Yes, exactly.
With the stroke of a pen he just made my job far more difficult and time-consuming.
I read the story twice and I don't see how he expects the FDA to do this. The old White House magic wand.
Hadn't heard that one before—how true!
Altas Shrugs
In searching for earlier posts of this article, I found a flurry of stories from last Spring about drug shortages. It almost looks like there are WH people assigned to search through news archives and find "problems" that 0bama can pretend to do something about, to get his pathetic approval ratings up.
There will now be a shortage for sure.
Does this mean Obama doesn't think he has enough meds?
It'll be interesting to see how they accomplish THAT! What are they going to do, hold drug makers at gunpoint 24/7 forcing them to produce? Are they going to call them "boy" as well?
He concluded, somewhat awkwardly: "All right. With that, I'm going to sign this bill — or this executive order — excuse
You will make more meds and it will be your choice to make them and you will be happy about it! ?????
We talked about this at work today. The feds could declare this to be a national security issue and yes, force us to ramp up production. However, that's not going to do anything to solve the problem unless the FDA starts bending some rules on like-for-like components, especially APIs.
Sorry. I should've known I couldn't get through that with a straight face...
Don't even joke about such a thing. That is a nightmare scenario which would essentially cripple pharma manufacturing in this country.
The MO is clear from past actions by the Obama Mob.
They'll parcel out rights to drug patents from those drug companies not on the inner team, to those on the inner team. They make one or two BIG examples just to be "Big Dog".
Some mid-size or small companies will be bankrupted. Unionized companies will be favored. I'm not sure of the degree of unionization in Pharma. I don't think it is big.
In that case, watch for some of the inner Unions to march in and demand unionized work forces, even among professionals.
Also suspect patents will be let out to Indian and East African outfits, with the drugs allowed to be imported into the US.
Unless you are a total imbecilic, brain-dead, immoral, unethical zombie (and I realize there are still many out there) these "Executive Orders" and over reaching (around Congress), only show Obama's true colors and how out of control and far removed, from the Constitution, that he is.
I, for one, don't care if the EO says, gives authority, or helps people who truly need it.....Executive Orders are not Constitutional and THIS president, more than any other in History, has WAY WAY over used and over-reached his Executive Power.
He SO needs to be behind bars....like YESTERDAY!!!
Where does te FDA have their manufacturing plants?
Let's see...Hussein's cult has controlled the Congress 50 of the last 60 months....and in FACT, during that time, (the first two or so of those five years) Hussein himself was part of that Congress!
So the BULK of the problem lies with Hussein and his cult--who had control of the Congress for all of the last 5 years...except for these last 10 months, when the Congress has been trying to deal with Hussein's debt.
Miniscule. The unions have no leverage. In 21 years in Big Pharma, I have yet to see anything but excellent salaries and benefits at all levels of the industry.
When he says stuff like that it just shows how stupid they think his voter base is that they won't figure out who was in charge in Congress. They want to keep them down too!
Believe me, with the attitudes of some FDA inspectors, they act like the plants are theirs. We went so far as to give them their own permanent dedicated office and conference room for their sometimes two week fishing expeditions at our facility.
What do you think of my predictive speculations, all in all?
Do you think there's even a snowball's chance of that nightmare coming true?
Right now, the left wing trial lawyers are driving up litigation costs. That cost will be passed on to the consumer. Soon, medicine will become unaffordable, and the "left wing saviors" will "have no choice" but to get involved.
This is how they got the schools, health care, housing, banks, and part of the auto industry (foreign and Ford refused their bait).
The liberal MO---
Manufacture a crises.
(make medicine unavailable through legislation, then unaffordable).
Wait for the people to cry out for relief.
(Oh no!I can't afford my medicine anymore! There isn't enough!).
Blame an opponent.
(in this case: big Pharmaceutical needs to be controlled by an 'emergency' executive order! OMG!).
Come in with a "new way" (socialism/communism) and take over the industry because the "old way" (capitalism/liberty) didn't work!
("People could DIE!!!!")
All right on target, aside from the unionization; instead, the criteria will be campaign money from the companies. But all the rest of your predictions are very plausible.
The FDA does not have authority to force drug makers to continue production of a drug.
They forgot to say, "For now....."
How many executive orders can this dictator issue?
In all seriousness, the FDA can do this right now as "observers." They'd just start giving "suggestions" if Obama signed the papers.
For his next Executive Order, President Obama the Almighty will command the flood tide to ebb.
"Believe me, with the attitudes of some FDA inspectors, they act like the plants are theirs."
I am not surprised. There are so many control organizations in the government these days much of a company's resources has to be to be eaten by government meddling.
For his next Executive Order, President Obama the Almighty will command the flood tide to ebb.
Why are we paying Congress if they are worthless? They should grow some and do their duty to either maintain equal powers or begin impeachment orders.
Slightly more than four of those five years were UNIFIED DEMOCRAT CONGRESSES. But Obama won't mention this.
Xerxes I orders a river beaten-to-death when a storm destroys two bridges.
Two fools railing against forces beyond their control; both utterly childish.
Seems like things might have been improving until the rats took over congress.

BOSTON -- An Andover developer who bought Lowell's former Butler School property while pleading guilty to an unrelated federal-obstruction charge, was sentenced to a year of probation and fined $5,000.
In U.S. District Court last month, Judge George O'Toole Jr. sentenced Kamlesh Patel, 48, to 12 months probation with a $5,000 fine, which was paid, after Patel pleaded guilty to an obstruction charge for the destruction and alteration of documents in connection with a grand-jury investigation, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
As part of his probation, Patel cannot possess firearms and must submit a DNA sample.
Patel's case is unrelated to his company's purchase of the former Butler School, but the federal charges against him made many Lowell officials nervous.
The charges stemmed from when Patel received a grand-jury subpoena for records relating to his business dealings with another company, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Another of Patel's companies, J&K Realty, has an agreement to purchase the Butler property from the city for $265,500 and is required to deliver the project within a year of closing.
Although City Manager Bernie Lynch had only recently been made aware of the legal issues facing Patel, he confirmed all systems are go with J&K's redevelopment plan.
J&K's plan calls for the company to tear down the school building and build two new commercial buildings.
The company's plan also calls for a new public road through the site that would connect Gorham and Ellsworth streets to Livingston and Newhall streets.

This cold salad was fantastic! The flavors were perfect together. My recipe called for 3 tbsp. of oil and my plan was to cut that in half but it turns out I forgot it all together and I'm so glad I did because it didn't need the oil at all. If I wanted to add a couple hundred calories to this, I will add more almonds, raisins or apples. Not that it needs any more but that would be much more fulfilling than a few tbsp. of olive oil.
I will for sure be making this salad again. Soon.
Quinoa Salad with Apples and Almonds
Adapted from Family Fun Magazine May 2010
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water
2 apples, unpeeled and diced (I used fuji)
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/3 cup golden raisins
2 green onions, diced (recipe called for parsley, I thought green onions would be better, they rocked)
1/2 cup whole almonds, lightly toasted (you can chop if you want but I liked them whole)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp. honey (sub vegan sweetener if vegan)
1/4 cup lemon juice
Combine the quinoa and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the cooled quinoa. Add dressing, toss to coat evenly.
Total calories = 1434 calories
6 huge servings = 239 calories per serving
Lentil Sloppy Joe + Quinoa with Apples and Almonds = 522 calorie dinner

MALTA, N.Y. — Torrential rains brought a premature end to "Brett Hearn's Big Show 6" at Albany-Saratoga Speedway Tuesday night.
Sprinkles hit the Super DIRTcar Series big-block modified field on their parade lap and it got worse from there. Polesitter Justin Haers led through lap five, when Elmo Reckner coasted to a stop to put the field under yellow.
Rain immediately intensified and after shutting off the lap counter at 11, officials had the cars run a few more laps, then head to the pit area to wait for the storm to end. Instead, the storm got worse and the proverbial plug was then pulled.
In the companion Twin 20s sportsman program, fast-timer Joey Scarborough led the opener flag to flag, besting invader Brian Kummel and Derrick McGrew. The nightcap saw Jeremy Pitts lead outsider Chris Donnelly and Scott Duell to the checkers.
Modified heat wins went to Haers, Stewart Friesen, Eric Rudolph and fast-timer Peter Britten, hot off a Friday night win at the three-eighths-mile oval.
Hearn announced that the race would be completed on Wednesday, July 30, though details have to be worked out, as the program was beyond halfway and rain checks will not be honored.

With WWE Over The Limit on its way and the WWE Championship match being a I Quit Match, I decided to look at the top 12 gimmick match types and picked the top match from all 12.
Will any match from Over The Limit be able to match any of these? Maybe a few, but we will have to wait and see.
This list contains matches like the I Quit Match, Hell in the Cell, Elimination Chamber, Casket Match, Cage Match, TLC Match, Ladder Match, and even a Tuxedo Match.
It will be an enjoyable trip down nostalgia lane.

Conversations is a trifle. Legendary guitarist Jim Hall and brilliant drummer Joey Baron create a low-key, experimental affair, more concerned with subtlety and texture than melody or harmony.
It's not only the ensemble and ambitions that are small-scale. Nine of the 15 tracks are less than three minutes long, and only two—the standards "Bags' Groove" and "St. Thomas," both played with folksy relish—break four minutes. The seven shorter ones are little more than wisps of string-percussion interplay that barely move, if at all. "In Repose" places gentle waves of guitar chords over gentle waves of mallet-struck cymbals, ending just where it began. Then there's "Uncle Ed," a lively, 47-second hoedown that in context is simply bizarre.
The longer pieces develop only slightly more. The first half of "Conversations" is just an extension of the snippets; its back end gains indie-rock-ish melodic and rhythmic trajectory but still emphasizes mood and swagger. The nine-minute "Travelogue" is a sinister Americana landscape, complete with truly scary trap-kit breakdown: It could score a postmodern western during which a high-plains drifter takes bad 'shrooms. Interesting listening—Hall clearly took something away from his recent Bill Frisell collaborations—but hard to process.
Likely Conversations was always intended as a minor anomaly; nobody will accuse 80-year-old Hall of being set in his ways. That said, in Baron he finds perhaps his most sympathetic duet partner, one who listens and responds carefully yet steers clear harmonically. Here's hoping they find a more substantial project on which to collaborate.

One of those days.
What is really strange, that I used the same paper for the last few drawings, and it behaves differently with the same materials, so no matter how hard I will search for "perfect paper" it will always be the chance that it will be unpredictable.

Applying to the Teach For America Certification Program
The Teach For America Interim Certification Program at the University of Michigan School of Education is a state-approved alternative route to certification and is open only to teachers accepted by Teach For America (TFA), placed in TFA's Detroit region, and who pass the appropriate Michigan Test for Teacher Certification (MTTC) tests.
Entry to this program begins with an application to Teach For America. During the application and interview process with TFA, applicants will be able to indicate their preference for working in the Detroit region.
Members of the TFA-Detroit corps are also eligible to elect some certification courses for credit as non-candidates for degree or may apply to the Master of Arts in Educational Studies program with a concentration in urban pedagogy — a program available exclusively to the Detroit TFA corps.
Because the initial application to this program is through the Teach For America program, the deadlines are different than those of the University of Michigan. The TFA application deadlines can be found on their website. Subsequent applications for non-candidate for degree and the master of arts program are due by September 30.

Rackspace Announces OpenStack
Open source cloud computing OS based on existing Rackspace technology and NASA's Nebula Cloud Platform
Rackspace announced the OpenStack, open source cloud computing operating system Monday. Rackspace is donating the code behind the Cloud Files and Cloud Servers to the project, which has attracted the attention of some major partners, including NASA.
A compute provisioning engine is slated for later this year.
It will incorporate NASA's Nebula technology and Rackspace's cloud servers. OpenStack Compute and OpenStack Object Storage are both available in developer preview and will be released mid-October and mid-September, respectively. OpenStack will be available under the Apache 2.0 license.
Rackspace president Lew Moorman said the decision to go open source was made to prevent vendor lock-in.
Rackspace announced several partners involved in OpenStack, including Citrix, Autonomic Resources, Intel, Dell, and Sonian.

BROOKSVILLE — Just before 1:30 Thursday morning, a Hernando County sheriff's deputy was driving east on Cortez Boulevard when he noticed a silver Toyota pull out of the Elks Lodge and onto the road ahead of him.
The deputy was in the left lane heading east, a report said. The Toyota, also driving east, had turned into the right lane when it suddenly switched into the left, just feet in front of the cruiser. The deputy slammed on his brakes and veered off the road, authorities say. He watched the vehicle make a slow, jerky U-turn, then drive west.
The deputy turned on his lights and pulled over the car.
The driver, Dudley W. Coles, smelled of alcohol, investigators said. His eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred and, to the deputy, he seemed slow to answer questions. According to the report, he said he'd had three 16-ounce beers at the Elks Lodge and was on his way home.
Another deputy had arrived by then and asked Coles to step out of his car.
The 63-year-old wobbled from side to side and leaned on the vehicle to support himself. During the walk-and-turn sobriety test, a report said, Coles stopped and made an announcement: "I can't do it because I've had too much to drink."
He was arrested and taken to the Hernando County Detention Center, where authorities say his blood-alcohol level was tested at 0.167.
Coles then insisted he hadn't actually had three beers, according to the report. He had only said that earlier because it sounded like a standard answer. Instead, authorities say, Coles told them he just one beer, along with a glass of scotch.
Coles, of 9085 Dickens Ave., was charged with driving under the influence. He has since been released on $500 bail.

Peltier Lake
Peltier Lake is located in Centerville, MN. The lake can be reached by traveling west of I-35E from the Hugo/Centerville Exit on County Road 14.
Species Present:
Northern Pike: above average abundance, average size.
Largemouth Bass: lower than average abundance, smaller than average size.
Bluegill: average abundance, average size.
Crappie: above average abundance, smaller than average size.
Channel Catfish: low abundance, larger than average size.
Bullhead species: average abundance, average size.
Yellow Perch: low abundance, small size.
Boat Access:
The boat access is located adjacent to the dam on the outlet in Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park operated by Anoka County. This lake may have a surface water regulation limiting travel in the north end of the lake to slow, no wake. Check for signs posted at the access. The purpose of the regulation is to limit intrusion on the colony of nesting herons located on an island in the north bay of this lake.
Shore Fishing:
This lake has good shore fishing facilities. The County has a fishing pier in the southwest corner of the lake, just down the shore from the boat access. Anglers often fish from the shoreline of County Road 14 near the connection with Centerville Lake.
The most popular shore fishing spot may be at the dam. Anglers fish on both sides of the dam, upstream and in the pool downstream of the dam.
Management Plans:
- Fisheries standard lake survey in 2019.
- Stock 1,030,000 walleye fry (2,500 per littoral acre) in odd numbered years.
- Monitor winter oxygen as needed.
- Operation of winter aeration system by Anoka County as needed to prevent winterkill.
Aquatic Invasive Species Alert:
This lake contains Eurasian watermilfoil. Remove any visible plants from your boat, trailer, or other boating equipment before leaving the lake.
Peltier is a very popular fishing lake, both summer and winter. Northern Pike and panfish are the primary targets of most anglers to this lake. Walleye are present, but are not abundant. Channel Catfish yearlings have provided additional opportunities for Peltier Lake anglers. Anglers catch occasional Muskie than have migrated downstream from Bald Eagle Lake.
Peltier is part of a state-wide initiative to monitor the effects of climate change and other human activities on Minnesota lakes. As such, this lake will be subject to an extensive variety of sampling and assessment activities for the duration of the initiative.

Francisco Mangado has been officially announced as the next guest of the Australian Institute of Architects. As part of the International Speaker Series, the next talk in Sydney will be held at University Hall, UTS on Tuesday, 25th September 2012.
For more information and to book tickets online visit: http://www.architecture.com.au/nsw/
Born in Navarre in 1957, Francisco Mangado earned his architecture degree from the University of Navarre School of Architecture in 1982, and has since made this institution the center of his teaching career. He has been a Guest Professor at Harvard's Graduate School of Design, as well as Eero Saarinen Visiting Professor at Yale's School of Architecture. He is Studio Professor in the Navarre school's Master of Architectural Design program and Visiting Professor at l'École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. In June 2008 he set up the Fundación Arquitectura y Sociedad, which aims to help increase architecture's interaction with other fields of knowledge and action. His architectural practice is combined with this academic activity and foundation work, which he runs from his studio in Pamplona.
For his professional work Mangado has earned an Andrea Palladio International Architecture Award, a City of Thiene Architecture Award, an Architécti Prize, the FAD and CEOE Awards, and many more. His Plaza Dalí in Madrid won First Prize in the Madrid City Hall's 20thurban Planning, Architecture and Public Works Awards (2005 edition). He won First Prize in the 2007 Saloni Architectural Awards and the Grand Prize in the Enor Architecture Awards for his Nueva Balastera Football Stadium in Palencia, as well as First Prize for Architecture awarded by the COAL in 2007, in the category of new public buildings, for the Nueva Balastera Soccer Stadium in Palencia. His Spanish Pavilion at Expo Zaragoza 2008 has merited the following honors: First Prize in the 7thASCER Ceramic Architecture Awards in 2008, First Prize for Construction at Construmat 2009, the Giancarlo Ius Gold Medal given by the UIA at the 4th Barbara Cappochin International Architecture Biennial in August 2009, and the Fernando García Mercadal Prize of the Aragon Architects Association (COA) the following September. In October 2009, Spain's National Council of Architects' Associations proclaimed the Pavilion winner of the National Architecture Prize for an individual work. In September 2009, Mangado's Archaeology Museum in Vitoria capped the Copper in Architecture Award of the European Copper Institute in London, and in March 2010 it won First Prize in the Civic Construction category of the Basque-Navarrese Institute of Architects Association (COAVN) Awards. On December 6, 2011, has been named RIBA International Fellowship, an award that the Royal Institute of British Architects bives year by year to non-UK practitioners for their particular contribution to the field and profession.
Notable among Mangado's works are the Cultural Center and Church in Thiene (Italy), the Auditorium and Congress Center of Pamplona, the Place Pey Berland in Bordeaux, the Municipal Exhibition and Congress Center of Ávila, the Archaeology Museum of Vitoria, the Football Stadium of Palencia, and the Spanish Pavilion at the 2008 International Exposition in Zaragoza. More recent projects include the Congress Center of Palma de Mallorca, the Fine Arts Museum of Asturias in Oviedo, and an office tower in Buenos Aires.
The Baluarte Auditorium and Congress Center in Pamplona and the Lienzo Norte Exhibition and Congress Center in Ávila were included in the exhibition on Spanish architecture that was held at the MoMA in New York City, as well as in Madrid, in 2006. In February 2011 the exhibition "Francisco Mangado Architect" opened at the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, which shows the production of architecture and design done in recent years. The exhibition has later gone on show at the Auditorium of Teulada, the Palacio del Condestable in Pamplona, and the Aedes Gallery in Berlin

Cyclists, officials inspect dangerous Rosslyn intersection
A scrum of people in bike helmets and safety vests gathered at Gateway Park in Rosslyn yesterday evening to scrutinize the dangerous intersection where the Custis Trail crosses Lee Highway and North Lynn Street.
This intersection has has been a dangerous one for many years. Unfortunately, it will not see engineering improvements until 2013 or 2014 at the earliest.
The bike/ped trail, which is parallel to Lee Highway, crosses North Lynn Street here, just south of the Key Bridge. This was the site where a driver recently turned into the path of a cyclist, causing a crash which police ended up blaming on the cyclist.
The Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee (ABAC) organized the "site visit" to provide citizen input and fresh perspective on the dangerous crossing.
While engineering improvements are at least two years away, Dennis Leach, the Arlington County transportation director, promised his staff would further investigate in the upcoming week at least two of the suggestions that arose tonight regarding marking and signage.
One participant suggested painting the crosswalk wider and madke it more prominent. For signage, another suggested modifying the crossing signal to include a bicycle shape. This will help to alert drivers to expect both pedestrians and cyclists. Arlington could potentially implement both in the immediate term.
In the longer term, the Arlington County Division of Transportation team discussed future design changes to the intersection which will include removing lanes on Lynn Street and Lee Highway and creating a bump-out on both the southeast and northeast corners of the intersection.
Less likely to see further investigation by the county transportation engineers is a suggestion to install traffic cameras to increase enforcement of drivers violating the cyclists' right-of-way.
However, participants raised questions about enforcement to the Arlington County Police. The police called for cyclists to travel at a safe, controlled speed, especially when traveling downhill, on the Custis Trail. Cyclists requested greater enforcement of drivers violating the right of way and driving while distracted to create a safer environment for bicycling.
While the intersection is unsafe for even a regular bicycle commuter, this intersection is even more unsafe for less experienced or less regular cyclists, for example those traveling through this "Gateway" between Georgetown and Arlington on Capital Bikeshare bikes.
Improvements could take many forms, including behavioral changes, engineering work, or better enforcement. But perhaps the best question is not how to make the intersection safer, but when we can make the intersection safer. After this evening's site visit, perhaps the best idea is to avoid crossing here in the meantime.
The North Lynn Street Esplanade and Lee Highway/Custis Trail Safety Improvements project is fully funded. This site study is also part of the larger, Rosslyn Circle project which includes all four intersections surrounding Gateway Park, for which there will be a public meeting October 5 at the Arlington Temple Methodist Church.
One immediate change needed at this intersection is a no-right-turn-on-red sign for westbound auto traffic entering the intersection. Currently, westbound trail users get an advance "walk" sign that allows them to enter the crosswalk before cars get a green. But the cars take advantage of the four-way red light to make a right turn on red during the advance "walk" period - and turn right across the path of the bikes and pedestrians who are invited to enter the crosswalk by the walk signal.
Making "No right on red" doesn't work here, because the bike/ped crossing is coordinated with the green light--not the red. Only for those 3 seconds of advance "walk," while the traffic light is still red, would the no right turn make any difference to the cyclists/peds.
However, I agree that if there were a way to force autos to stay put during that pre-green time, it would help. Making the entire cycle no-turn-on-red is overkill.
Simple signs like this one:
could point out to drivers that there are many bikers present.
Part of the problem in Rosslyn is that there are many non-local drivers frantically trying to figure out where the hell they're supposed to go, and very little indications. Good road indications would help.
A sign indicating that drivers are about to cross a major bike trail, and that they should look for bikers. This warning should especially be placed on the ramp from I-66 up to that intersection. Coming up that ramp, turning right is a nightmare because you really can't see who's coming up from the Mt Vernon trail.
This would be the best though:
but that might legally be a problem.
@Jasper; this accident occurred when the cyclist was going eastbound (downhill). You have a very clear view of the intersection there. I agree the other way (westbound/uphill) it is hard to see for both drivers and cyclists.
The ticket issued in this case was a warning ticket, not a real one.
In terms of light timing, I think the trail count data might be helpful. No right on rush hour, for instance might work. Maybe. What happens with cars is as soon as Key Bridge jams up, and it will, making a right turn onto Lynn gets dicey.
I think Jay Fissete is pushing a bit too hard here. Given that Bike Arlington has been pretty consistent that the cyclist is at fault. I don't see what the difficult of putting another red light camera at that spot.
The biker does. Cars that come up from I-66 in the middle lane and turn right see jack diddly sh!t. It's a horrible turn to make, especially when it's busy and you have a green. Cars coming from I-66 are driving fast and tend to whip around that corner, forgetting that they've exited the interstate and entered a slower speed pattern. The view to the right is often blocked by other cars turning right. As a biker going eastbound, it is impossible to predict whether cars have seen you, and whether they'll stop even if they've seen you. When it's a green, cars forget to look for pedestrians and biker. When it's just turned green, everybody is moving, but you don't know if they'll stop and yield for ye.
BTW: Can somebody tell me what the status of a biker is on the sidewalk? I'd say that if a biker is on the side-walk, he should behave like a pedestrian and be treated like one. But is that the law? When a biker is on the road, she should be treated as a vehicle. That is the law.
I'm trying out to figure out what the law says about bikers on the side-walk.
Who's talking about the ticket? Only you charlie.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but it's Arlington Police who keep saying the cyclist was at fault, not Bike Arlington, right?
More signage for motorists would help a lot, and of course Jasper's recommendations above would be an easy and quick help.
Ok, so that means that cars have to yield to bikers near a crosswalk, right? Then, Arlington could just expand all the 'watch for pedestrians' sign to 'watch for pedestrians and bikers' signs.
And then, to draw that case in, means that the police officer was wrong to cite as a vehicle in the road ignoring a sign on the highway...

RUSH: Open Line Friday, El Rushbo and Ron in Chilcoot, California. Great to have you on the program. Hi.
CALLER: Thanks Rush. Thanks for taking my call.
RUSH: You bet, sir.
CALLER: Hey, yesterday I had gotten up and walked over to my in-law store here in Chilcoot, a little family store, and my mother-in-law was telling me that they had just shut down a local lake right here in this town, called Frenchman Lake. I go, "What do you mean they shut it down?" Well, because of the government shutdown, they shut down the lake. I said, "Well, that's not a federal lake. There's no federal employees out there."
The campgrounds are run by Thousand Trails personnel. So I said, "Well, that just isn't right." So I called my local supervisor and asked him what was going on, and he said that they had had a meeting that morning and because this lake was on federal property, they had to shut it down. They had the sheriff's department go up there and kick everybody off the lake and was closing up the campgrounds. So I said, "Well, okay. Thanks for the information."
RUSH: Wait, wait. Who made the decision to close the lake?
CALLER: The federal government.
RUSH: But it's not their lake, even though it's on federal land?
CALLER: It's on federal property, and my supervisor told me that because they had a contract, the federal government had a contract with Thousand Trails to run the campgrounds, they shut it down. So I said, "Well, that just don't seem right." So I made some phone calls. I called my congressman there in DC, Doug LaMalfa --
RUSH: Wait a minute. Wait, ba, ba ba ba. How'd you get through. The phone calls are shut down because --
CALLER: Aw, now, here's what I wanted to tell you. Doug LaMalfa's phone number was open and running, and an individual answered the phone and I voiced my concerns and asked if they would pass it on to my congressman. They said, "You bet we will." So then I called my two senators, and you know who they are. You're right. Their phone numbers were shut down. So I called the White House. Their number was shut down. I said, "That's odd." So I called a couple of more congressmen's in California that were Republicans, and they answered their phone, and I voiced my concerns.
RUSH: Wait a minute. So it sounds to me like if I call a Republican you can get through; if you call a Democrat, they got their phone shut down?
CALLER: That's what it sounds like to me. But then, you know, this morning I'm watching TV and am noticing all the cemeteries shut down, the Normandy cemetery shut down over in France, and I got to thinking, "Okay, government jobs all shutting down. Why is Obamacare still up and running?"
RUSH: Mandatory spending.
CALLER: Mandatory spending?
RUSH: Mandatory spending does not get shut down in this kind of framework. You know what you really need to do if you really want that lake opened, you need to call Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has simply refused to shut down the things in Wisconsin the federal government has ordered shut down. They're paying for it as well. So there are a lot of parks in Wisconsin that the Feds tried to shut down and Scott Walker said, "Nope.
"You don't have total authority here because we spend some money on 'em ourselves and we're not shutting down." If you go to Arizona, the federal government has shut down the Grand Canyon. You cannot go to the bottom of the biggest hole in the country 'cause they've shut it down. The State of Arizona wanted to pay their own money to reopen it. Obviously, it's a tourist site. The federal government is denying permission for the state of Arizona to open the Grand Canyon.
The AP story on this is fascinating, and there's no doubt in my mind that the Regime has a war on Arizona. The AP: "Arizona Governor Rejected in Offer to Reopen Grand Canyon -- Arizona's Republican leaders, known for picking fights with the federal government..." Oh, how horrible they are! Is that what Arizona Republican leaders are known for, "picking fights with the federal government"? How about Arizona Republican leaders are known for defending the Constitution in their state, AP?
Anyway, get this lede: "Arizona's Republican leaders, known for picking fights with the federal government, are seething again, now that the Grand Canyon is closed because of the budget crisis in Washington." Oh, yeah. The Republicans are seething. It's all the fault of these Republican hotheads. Yeah. Seething. Governor Jan "Brewer wants the iconic park reopened and has offered to pay for it with state money, but her proposal was rejected Thursday by a park official who said that as long as the federal government remains shut down, such a plan isn't an option.
"'I appreciate the support and I thanked them for the offer, but it's not an offer we can accept,' said park superintendent Dave Uberuaga." Why not? Why not, Dave? This has been done before during previous shutdowns, even in Arizona, 1995 and '96. The Grand Canyon remained open in previous shutdowns in much the same way. The Regime doesn't want these places open. They've got the World War II memorial chained shut. They put a chain on the fence at the World War II memorial.
They won't let people go to the Grand Canyon. I mean, it's being done on purpose, and the only reason is because Obama knows that snarky little news agencies or reporters like whoever wrote this, Bob Christie for the AP, are gonna write it and such a way that benefits them. Can you imagine the bad guys here, the seething angry bad guys, are the ones who want to open the Grand Canyon? And the people arbitrarily closing it, they're the angels? They're the good people? This is sick.
