Ryan O'Neal wins appeals ruling in defamation case
FILE – In this Feb. 2, 2011 file photo, actor Ryan O'Neal speaks at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, in Washington, during a ceremony where objects from the private collection of [auth] Farrah Fawcett's estate were donated. An appeals court in Los Angeles ruled Thursday Feb. 14, 2013, that O'Neal can pursue a defamation claim against a man who claimed the actor stole a portrait of the late Farrah Fawcett that was created by Andy Warhol. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ryan O'Neal may have enough evidence to show that he was defamed by a man who claimed the actor stole a valuable portrait of the late Farrah Fawcett, an appeals court ruled Thursday.
A divided panel of the 2nd District Court of Appeal ruled that O'Neal's case against Craig Nevius, a former Fawcett associate, should be allowed to proceed and that the actor may be able to win some damages. One justice disagreed and wrote that the case should be dismissed.
O'Neal sued in July 2011, claiming he was defamed by Nevius' comments that the actor had stolen a Fawcett portrait created by Andy Warhol. The painting is the subject of a separate lawsuit between O'Neal and the University of Texas, which claims Fawcett left the artwork to the school after her 2009 death.
Nevius's attorney, Lincoln Bandlow, said he would appeal the ruling to the California Supreme Court. He had appealed a lower court's ruling allowing the case to go forward.
O'Neal's suit seeks more than $1 million in damages. He claimed in the case that Warhol gave him the portrait and he intends to bequeath it to his only son from his longtime relationship with Fawcett, Redmond O'Neal.
Nevius' comments that O'Neal stole the artwork were made in interviews with Star magazine and "Good Morning America," and he cooperated with UT investigators searching for the portrait.
Although Nevius initially denied he accused O'Neal of stealing the painting, he acknowledged in a later court filing that he made the claim to university investigators.
"The inferences reasonably drawn from the evidence here would support a jury's finding that Nevius harbored strong ill-feelings toward O'Neal," the justices siding with O'Neal wrote. The dissent argues that Nevius' comments were constitutionally-protected speech and the case should have been dismissed.
O'Neal's fight with UT over the portrait returns to court on Feb. 27.
The actor and Nevius have battled in court for years.
Nevius collaborated on a documentary of Fawcett's fight with cancer but sued the actor claiming he interfered in the project and removed him from it shortly before Fawcett's death. The case was dismissed before trial.

Piltun's Crumbling-Down Lighthouse and its 260 Steps
Post by Jake Levenson, Global Program Officer for Whales, IFAW Headquarters Office
It's Saturday morning and thanks to some lingering overnight fog I finally got to catch up on a few hours rest by sleeping in. Well, by "sleeping in," I mean I lounged until 9:30 AM.
By 10:00 AM the fog was clearing. The boat photo ID team packed their gear, pulled on their boots and survival suits, and prepared for another day on the water. I helped lug the boat through the sand and thick mud, and into the shallow water where -- finally -- it was deep enough to put the outboard motor into the water without losing the prop in mud and muck. Then, I wished them good luck and headed back towards the lighthouse with Max and Pasha.
Today, Jana, Pasha and I were scheduled for the lighthouse survey. For these surveys, we climb 260 steps up a rusty staircase (yes, I counted them all), to arrive at the top of the lighthouse. There, we use binoculars to scan the water for whales. We divide the viewable water into sections and use binoculars with built-in compasses to watch for whales. Whenever we spot a whale or whales, we count the number of individuals and record the compass bearing relative to the lighthouse. This survey is completely different from the boat-based photo ID surveys. From the boat, we take photographs that we will later use to identify individual whales. From the lighthouse, however, we are working to assess abundance and location of whales.
During our scans, we rely on the same clues that whalers once used to hunt the Western gray whale. We look for white water on the surface, which can indicate where a whale just jumped or splashed. We also look for spouts or blows, which the whales release when they surface for a breath. It sounds incredible, but it's actually possible to identify different species based only on their spout. For example, blue whales have a high and narrow spout, while humpbacks have short and wide spouts. It's an imperfect science, but it helps. I've noticed that gray whales have a spout that is very similar to one I'm already familiar with: the North Atlantic right whale. Like the right whales, the Western Pacific gray whale has a V-shaped spout, shaped that way from their two distinct blowholes.
The lighthouse -- our precarious perch -- is actually really neat, assuming you don't know anything about structural engineering (and thus can't spot the signs of weakness) and have no fear of height. Luckily, neither apply to me, and we spent hours surveying the waters for signs of Western gray whales. The weather was perfect (as perfect as Russia's summer gets, at least), and our visibility extended 15 miles or more. We had an excellent survey.
And this is how I spent my day. Clinging to the top of an ancient Russian lighthouse, perched on the north-eastern tip of a remote island, watching for signs of the worlds rarest whale. Not a bad way to spend a day.
Here are a few of my favorite photographs from the day:
First, here's a snap shot of the Piltun lighthouse from outside. Notice the crumbling base? We try not to think much about that.
Here are my lighthouse survey partners, Jana and Pasha.
And me. Saving whales is serious business (and hard work), but that doesn't mean there isn't time for a few laughs and goofy faces.
Finally, here are a few of my favorites images from the top. Hard to deny, that's an incredible view.

Although comparable-store sales at Fred's declined slightly in May, the company said sales strengthened in the last week of the month thanks to the first ad in its new marketing and branding program, designed to increase traffic and heighten customer awareness of category diversity.
The company's total sales for the month stayed flat at $151.9 million, compared with $152.3 million in May last year. Comparable-store sales for the month declined 0.4% compared with a 0.5% decrease in the same period last year.
Fred's total sales for the first four months of fiscal 2014 decreased 0.6% to $650.2 million compared with $653.8 million for the same period last year. On a comparable store basis, year-to-date sales declined 1.5% versus a 1.1% decrease for the year-earlier period.
"The initial results [of the marketing and branding program] were encouraging," said CEO Bruce A. Efird, "and we think this new program will be effective in driving traffic and sales growth as we work toward full implementation of the marketing program by mid-July. Together with the updating of our store layout to emphasize the convenience advantages of our 15,000-sq.-ft. store, it will better position Fred's to serve more of the need-based categories and provide customers with faster and easier shopping experiences."
Fred's operates 704 discount general merchandise stores, including 21 franchised Fred's stores, in the southeastern United States.

Cost-based and time-based analysis of DoS-resistance in HIP
Tritilanunt, Suratose, Boyd, Colin, Foo, Ernest, & Gonzalez Nieto, Juan M. (2007) Cost-based and time-based analysis of DoS-resistance in HIP. In Dobbie, Gillian (Ed.) Thirtieth Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACSC2007), January 30 to February 2, 2007, Ballarat, Victoria.
|PDF (425kB)
We develop a formal model of the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) based on Timed Coloured Petri Nets (Timed CPNs) and use a simulation approach provided in CPN Tools to achieve a formal analysis. We aim to examine unbalanced computation that leads to resource exhaustion attacks in key exchange protocols comparing among a legitimate initiator, four types of adversary who attempt to deny the service at different stages of the protocol execution, and a responder. By adopting the key idea of Meadows' cost-based framework and refining the definition of operational costs during the protocol execution, our simulation provides an accurate cost estimate of protocol execution comparing between those principals. Under four defined attack strategies, however, Meadows' cost-based framework generates a different outcome compared with the simulation approach from Timed CPNs. Analysis of our experimental results reveals a limitation of Meadows' cost-based framework for addressing DoS threats.

Broadway's 'Matilda,' Satisfying And Subversive
Broadway's latest import from the U.K. Matilda won a record breaking seven Olivier Awards, their version of the Tonys. The show's winners include Tim Minchin, who wrote the lyrics and the music, and the kids who played Matilda and her long-suffering classmates, who Minchin called "the little twerps."
In an interview with Soundcheck host John Schaefer, The New York Times chief theater critic Ben Brantley says the show is "the most satisfying and subversive musical ever to come out of Britain."
Brantley, on Matilda's dark edge:
You expect it to be just a kind of nice children's musical. It turns out to have quite a bit of darkness in it. And I think better than any stage show I've ever seen, it addresses the fears that we all have in childhood. There are lines about the monster under the bed, but also particularly the anxiety that comes with going to school and feeling powerless.
On why the audience develops a Dickensian-like empathy for Matilda's character:
She's not an orphan or an urchin, although she'd probably be happier if she were an orphan. She has horrible parents who believe in the virtues of being loud, think books are the worst thing a child could pick up, and really have no interest in her. So she develops this great interior life.
On Matilda toeing the line between being both dark and funny:
It's a hard line to walk. The Book of Mormon, for example, is both a satire of a traditional Broadway musical and a celebration of it. Matilda manages to be both sort of solemn and fearful but also very witty. I think it would actually provide great catharsis for kids who are so scared of everything, often whether they admit it or not.

Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, said the military COLA repeal is "not a great confidence builder in entitlement reform." He added, "this was the one hard choice that was made in the budget deal and it did signal that military pay and retirements had to be one of the things that were considered. And then they fall all over themselves to reverse it. I don't know how they're going to do any major entitlement reform if they can't stomach something like this."

Has anyone seen purebred Havanese puppies with upright ears?
I've seen Maltese with ears upright but I've never seen a Havanese with ears up till now. Hoping its a freak thing & that they will go back down!

My dog plays with a havanese at the park that has upright ears. She is 1 year old so her ears will most likely never go down. She is a purebred havanese, but the upright ears are definitely not breed-standard. She is super cute though!
Member 742877 answered on 11/26/08. Helpful? / 0
That is not standard. I'm afraid this Havanese may have another mix in it. The owners may have bought from a breeder who is not reliable, or it could be an unregistered uncertified purebred which means there is no proof of papers, thus there is probably a mix or altered gene pool somewhere. Should still be a good dog and does not mean anything other than it can't be called a purebred.

Political Activity and 501(c)(4)s: What Are the Limits?
Are 501(c)(4)s prohibited from engaging in politics? Absolutely not. But that's the question circulating after an interview Joe Nocera conducted with Sen. Carl Levin, published in Monday's New York Times:
Toward the end of my interview with Levin, he let slip a tantalizing tidbit. Sometime in the next few months, the permanent subcommittee plans to call the Internal Revenue Service to task for allowing the political super PACs to be classified as tax-exempt 501(c)(4)s. "Tax-exempt 501(c)(4)s are not supposed to be engaged in politics," he said. "It is against the law to do so." Then he added, with a certain undeniable relish, "We're going to go after them.
In fact, 501(c)(4)s have every right to engage in political activity – as long as it is not their primary activity. They may be taxed and there are reporting requirements, of course, but 501(c)(4)s can conduct limited partisan activities, including:
- Supporting or opposing candidates
- Endorsing federal and state candidates
- Distributing communications to the general public — including through GOTV (get out the vote) activities, voter registration drives, billboards, broadcast ads
- Asking federal and state candidates to pledge to support the organization's issues if elected
- Producing candidate voter guides or comparisons of where state and federal candidates stand on the issues
Alliance for Justice shares the concern of Sen. Levin and others that a few groups are breaking these rules and engaging in political activity beyond their limits. But these few malefactors are not representative of the estimated 110,000 501(c)(4)s across the country – groups that range from AARP to the Sierra Club.
It's confusing business. For anyone wishing to brush up on their tax and election law, check out our plain-English legal resources:

It includes a section that describes the rules on 501(c)(4) participation in federal elections after Citizens United v. FEC.

Reese Witherspoon Knows How To Ride Them
Reese Witherspoon looked totally at ease riding her horse yesterday while filming Water For Elephants in Ventura County, California. The film is due to be released in 2011 and also stars Robert Pattinson, who plays Reese's love interest. She plays the married star of the equestrian act in the circus that his character has been put in charge of. And, duh, they fall in love. But creepy much? He played her son six years ago in the film Vanity Fair!
"I remember he was verrrrry [sic] handsome!" she said of the actor, who is 10 years her junior. "I was like, "I have a really handsome son!"
Woah, woah, woah. Slow down. Back away from our R-Patz. We know how you like the younger guys. And we know you guys are already all buddy-buddy. Basically, we are always watching (insert evil glare here).

%28Oh%29 Pretty Woman by Van Halen Songfacts
Roy Orbison first recorded this
in 1964. Along with "Where Have All The Good Times Gone," "
Dancing in the Street
," "Big Bad Bill," and "Happy Trails," this was one of 5 covers on the album. Van Halen made an album a year from 1978-1983, and their constant touring made it difficult to write new songs.
The promo clip from this song was the first concept video Van Halen made. With MTV launching on August 1, 1981 and desperate for new rock videos, the network convinced the band's label to make a clip for "
." The band had no interest in videos, but when the producer Robert Lombard put together concert footage to make the "Unchained" clip, the band loved the results and had Lombard to the video for "(Oh) Pretty Woman," which is a tawdry affair.
It is very costume-intensive, with David Lee Roth dressed as Napoleon, Eddie Van Halen as a cowboy, Alex Van Halen as Tarzan, and Michael Anthony a Samurai Warrior. The band wanted to be as outrageous as possible, and Lombard obliged, enlisting two midgets and a drag queen to appear in the video, and making sure the band had access to their drugs and alcohol of choice. At the end of the video, the midgets are seen fondling the "woman," who flips her wig to reveal that she is a he. MTV aired the video sparingly, as they didn't want to scare cable companies away with anything too controversial.
Speaking about the video in
, David Lee Roth said: "What you have is the most overblown, over-the-top home movie ever made. We did it rather like a surrealistic art project, like where they paint the picture and come back three days later and try to figure out what they meant."
Van Halen recorded this after completing their 1981 "Invasion" tour. They put it out as a single a few months before the album was released.
This was released at a time when the band was not touring or recording. It was the first break they took since hitting the road in 1978 to support their first album, and they put this out so people wouldn't forget them.
After this came out, Sasson jeans (it was the '80s, designer jeans were cool) used the original Roy Orbison version in a TV commercial.
An a cappella version of the Dale Evans classic "Happy Trails" was released as the B-side. Van Halen wanted something easy to record so they could start their vacations.

I totally agree with Kyle, Anna, OH; remakes shouldn't be rehashes...make it your own! Some of my favorite remakes are completely different from the originals.
Karen - Manchester, Nh
The lead-in to this song is one of the most innovative, unorthodox guitar instrumental intros I have ever heard. It's in the same class as the best of Jimi Hendrix. It demonstrates why Eddy Van Halen was considered one of the "best guitarists in the world" at that time-- other critics words... not mine. I think it is a musical milestone-- it is almost a surprise when the lead guitar actually breaks into the familiar melody of Roy Orbison's song. I believe that Eddie is in the same class as Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck-- awesome company.
Richard - Kingston, On
Actually, the only reason "Intruder" got recorded was because the video for the song was too long, and they needed filler music that would somehow maintain the mood. DLR forgot an entire verse while recording it. And Roy Orbison claimed his career was revived by Van Halen recording the song.
David - Mayagüez, Puerto Rico
Actually the reason they recorded so many covers in the Roth era was the fact that Roth liked doing covers. If you pick up any article from that time period his idea was there are so many great songs out there why come up with all new ones each album. I remember reading that more then one time back then. If you think about it what did he do when he was first out of VH. He recorded a 4 song ep " Crazy From The Heat". All songs were covers on that.
Chris - Fort Worth , Tx
Classic rock radio stations often play "Intruder", the track before "Pretty Woman" on the "Diver Down" album, as an introduction to "Pretty Woman"
Keith - San Anselmo, Ca
Edward is the king. Although the band missed the second line that begins with "...cause I need you..." by only playing the progression once, while Orbison does the progression twice. The band later said "oops".
Ira - Ft. Mac, Canada
Sorry to all the people out there who think that a heavy metal bands cover should sound exactly like another singers song. When a band takes a song to cover it and make it their own, it's supposed to sound like it's their song. Great original song, and great cover!!!
Kyle - Anna, Oh
I don't like this cover at all. The vocals seem strained...it just comes nowhere near to Orbison.
John - Millersville, Md
Van Halen's cover is certainly very unique, and very good, but I still like the original better.
Stefanie Magura - Rock Hill, Sc
The lead-in to this song was a spooky guitar and synthesizer instrumental called "Intruder". Its creepiness adds an unusual dimension when combined with "Pretty Woman".
Kent Lyle - Palo Alto, Ca
Van Halen's best cover and probably one of the best covers ever. The way Eddie's guitar rings throughout is fantastic!
Tom - Trowbridge, England
The lyrics I posted where the original ones WRITTEN by Ray Orbison. Note that it ends with "Pretty woman, walking back to me" as opposed to the one used in recordings: "Is she walking back to me? Yeah, she's walking back to me"
Brett - Edmonton, Canada
Orbison wrote the song, which became "Oh, Pretty Woman", with Bill Dees. However he earlier wrote another song with the same title ("Pretty Woman") with Joe Melson and Ray Rush. That version of "Pretty Woman" was recorded by Curtis Byrd & the Joe-Rag Singers on the Candix label (#340) in 1962.
Fred - Summit, Ne

Posted by Martin Gill on May 12, 2011
I'm intrigued by the recent launch of KnowHow.com.
I've known it was coming for a while, but now that it's here it's not quite what I expected. However in a way it's actually a lot better.
KnowHow.com is, for want of a better description, the customer service portal for the DSGI chain of consumer electronics stores in the UK: Dixons.co.uk, Currys, and PC World. These stores operate in a fiercely competitive but large and lucrative market in the UK and extend their reach into Europe through sister company Pixmania. In recent years wallet share in the CE sector has been moving increasingly online, with brick-and-mortar stores facing the challenge of competing on price with their leaner, lower-cost online rivals. But despite this off-to-online swing, the group is reporting that Internet sales are down.
I was expecting KnowHow to be its revamped eCommerce operation, its response to lackluster digital sales. But interestingly it has done something different. It appears to be trying to step out of the race to the bottom from a price perspective and is positioning itself to begin to compete on a new axis. Service. An interesting play in what could be considered a commodity market.
However, when you learn that its multichannel sales are up 12%, this may not be such a strange move.

Rogue Engineering X-pipe with EVC
So I've searched all over and still cant find much info on this piece...Right now i have ebay headers, RE Rasp pipe, stock section 2, and the RE El Diablo muffler and I'm thinking about ordering the X-pipe with the EVC. I've heard that its incredibly loud with the valve opened, but haven't heard much about how it sounds with the valve closed. Anyone running a similar set up to mine or know how different the car will sound with the X-pipe with the closed valve??
It sounds a bit louder than stock with it closed. With eBay headers, I'm sure it will be even louder.
I've got OEM headers -> 2x AR20 -> Rogue w/ EVC -> Stock muffler
Alright so when the valve is closed it shouldn't be too much louder than it already is with the set up that i have?
I have one, but find myself driving with it closed most of the time. With valve closed it sounds stock. Open and its pretty loud. But you can open it just a bit if you like if you just tap the switch instead of holding it down to open - usually what I do.
My section 1 and muffler are stock. I had a RE Section 1 before I put the stock one back on. Not much sound difference during regular driving.
Alright thanks, that's what i was hoping. Does the EVC kit come with a button/switch or do you have to buy one separately?
Yes it should come with it.
I've run one for about a year and a half with headers, rasp terminator section 1, RE w/ EVC section 2, and stock muffler and it's been pretty amazing. Well worth it if you like things LOUD. The S54 engine will never really sound great so when it's that obnoxious it doesn't really matter haha...
But yes when it's closed it sounds exactly like what you are used to. After a while the dump valve can get gunked up and doesn't seal perfectly but it's not noticeable unless you're under the car. When it's open it just about shakes the ground and pops flames. At cruising through town speeds it's not really that bad though, I run my open 90% of the time. Install was easy and the switch mounts perfectly in a lot of places including the cig lighter.
I'm changing to a bimmerworld race exhaust next month. Not sure when you're trying to buy one but I'll have mine up for sale soon with less than 8k miles on it. Sometimes they go on backorder too, I had to wait like 4 months for mine :(
Here's a vid of mine with the valve open at the track. It's in car but with a mic'd GoPro.
******** width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WO0sk3BI5d0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>*********>
I have one sitting my my garage waiting to put on... Though I agree with the above statement that the motor will never sound great and one reason why I might actually sell the car for something else... No matter what anyone seems to do they sound like a civic...
Hey hey hey come on now... that civic comment was harsh... I've had quite a few cars myself that sound so much better including an AMG v8, GM LS v8's, and even an old vr6 R32 but none of those cars can get close to comparing to driving an e46 m3. So unless you plan on buying one of the better sounding M cars don't sell yourself short!
I actually like the sound of my car with a nearly open exhaust. The chaos you can hear going on inside the engine is a bit more special than anything else. But once again, that's race car get arrested kinda loud so the dump valve really is the perfect solution if you still have to commute or need to be stealthy on high speed windy roads. I'm almost talking myself out of selling mine hahaha
Sorry just how I feel... When this is sold it will be replaced by a 911TT... I think that should have a pretty sweet exhaust note.... Trying to find a way that I will enjoy the exhaust note though...
Here is mine before headers with one AR 20 in sec 1 and Eisenmann muffler (open and closed):
Then I put on ESS550 and headers:
Its extremely loud when open. By that I mean it cuts your hearing drums out... Closed, not that much louder but just a diff tone.

Trojans Take Trip To WPS Final
Sept. 29, 2010
The 2010 Women's Professional Soccer season wound down with a pair of Trojans at the top of the heap as members of the two teams in the 2010 final. USC's two representatives in the league both took the trip to the title match, in which regular-season champion FC Gold Pride got a 4-0 win over expansion team Philadelphia Independence on September 26 in Hayward, Calif.
A roster member on the 2010 champion FC Gold Pride, USC grad Rosa Anna Tantillo helped her squad hoist the championship trophy on Sunday afternoon. Olympian and NCAA champion Amy Rodriguez had helped propel her Philadelphia Independence team into the final, thanks in large part to the game-winner in the quarterfinals and the tying assist in the semis.
The two Trojans were teammates for two seasons at USC, making a pair of trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2005 and 2006. Tantillo's USC career wrapped up after 2006, but she made her WPS debut this season when she was added to the FC Gold Pride roster this year. Rodriguez finished her Trojan playing career as a 2007 NCAA Champion, an All-American and with four straight postseason appearances. A 2008 Olympians, Rodriguez was the No. 1 draft pick into the WPS in 2009.
The two stand even at No. 2 all-time at Troy in career game-winning goals with 12. Rodriguez is just ahead of Tantillo in career goals with 31 to rank No. 4 while Tantillo finished with 25. Their career points totals also are tight-knit. Rodriguez ranks No. 4 all-time with 79 career points, and Tantillo is No. 5 with 75. Tantillo is the No. 3 all-time assists leader with 25, and Rodriguez is No. 5 with 17.
Rodriguez wrapped up the 2010 WPS season as the league's third leading scorer after punching in 12 goals on the year to help supercharge the Independence into the title match.
Rodriguez will now rejoin her fellow U.S. National Team members this week as Team USA prepares for a pair of matches against China in the next week. Rodriguez and the United States will first play China on Saturday (Oct. 2) in Kennesaw, Ga., before going to Chester, Pa., for another matchup with China on October 6.

Study: Alcohol Intake Leads To Significant Vision Impairment
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse on January 16, 2014
They say too much alcohol in the body leads to an impaired vision and sense of direction. It wasn't until a recent study that the degree of impairment was measured.
A team of researchers from the Western University and the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry in Canada revealed that their study confirmed up to 30% impairment in vision as a result of drinking alcohol beyond the legal limit. In Canada and majority of states in the U.S., the limit for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08%.
Results of the study were significant: participants who had BAC levels near the limit observed a 30% reduction in contrast between the squares and the dark circles. In other words, people who engage in drunk driving might have difficulty telling the difference between light and darkness. "This is obviously important when you are driving at twilight, when objects are more difficult to see and more difficult to discriminate, even without alcohol," study co-author Brian Timney said in a news release.
Timney and Kevin Johnston, proponents of the study, used a rather simple and safe approach to determine the visual malfunction: the Hermann Grid. The illusion, as described by Johnston, is "a grid of black squares on a white background. You see ghost-like dark spots at the intersections of the grid, but they are not actually there. It's the way our visual system processes contrast or brightness differences that creates the illusion." Here is how the Hermann Grid looks like:
Respondents were asked to drink alcoholic beverages until just below the legal BAC limit, then look at the grid for observations on the invisible dark circles between the black squares.
Majority of Underage Drinking Deaths Not Related to Road Accidents
Posted by Drug Free Homes in Alcohol Abuse on April 19, 2013
The rule of thumb is to never drink when you're driving or drive when you're drinking. But new analysis by a non-profit organization showed highway accidents do not make up most of the deaths associated with underage drinking.
According to the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), only 32 percent of all deaths related to underage drinking involved traffic accidents; the remaining 68 percent have been associated with homicides, suicides, alcohol poisoning, and other causes of death.
MADD used 2010 data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to understand the different and more prominent causes of deaths among underage drinkers and find possible ways to minimize these risks.
"These data show that taking away the keys truly does not take away all of the risks when it comes to underage drinking," MADD National President Jan Withers said in a news release. "MADD hopes this information will inspire parents to have ongoing conversations with their kids about the dangers of drinking alcohol before age 21, especially since we know that a majority of kids say their parents are the biggest influence on their decisions about alcohol."
For more than 30 years, MADD has been at the forefront of stopping drunk driving, supporting the victims of this violent crime, and preventing underage drinking. The organization, together with the National Presenting Sponsor Nationwide Insurance, launched the Power Talk 21 campaign — the national day, observed on April 21, for parents to start talking with their kids about the perils of irresponsible alcohol use and abuse.
Sen. Chuck Schumer Wants Drugged-Driving Tests
Posted by Drug Free in Drug Testing, Prescription Drug Abuse on January 31, 2012
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer revealed that too many New Yorkers are driving under the influence of prescription drugs, with an increase of 35% in drugged driving arrests in New York state since 2001. In 2009, 10.5 million Americans admitted they had taken the wheel while on drugs.
While these numbers are still low compared to drunk driving arrests, the dangers of drugged driving are just as real. Without the proper tools, though, what the cops can do to catch drugged drivers is very limited.
"If people next year knew that they'd be tested for drugged driving just like they are tested for drunk driving, it might deter them from doing it to begin with and save lives," Schumer said.
This is why he is pushing for legislation that would provide $140 million research and training funding to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, in order to develop tests that cops can use to detect drugged drivers as well as to train cops to use any new technology.
Current tests being used by cops can detect alcohol intoxication. There is presently no device or test used by cops that can detect drugged drivers.
"Our cops need state-of-the-art equipment and better training to identify and apprehend those who are putting innocent victims at risk," he added.
6 Ways to Keep Your Holiday Parties Safe
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse on December 24, 2011
The holidays usher in a number of celebrations and events to spread the holiday cheer. During parties and gatherings of friends and family, alcohol becomes a big part of the event. If you can't help having some in your own party, you could at least ensure that your guests are safe and away from the risks of figuring in alcohol-related accidents.
Here are some ways suggested by the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information on how to keep your holiday parties safe for you and your guests:
1. Once you get the event rolling, have some games and activities that will require the participation of everybody. This will at least keep your guests' minds off the alcohol.
2. Food should be abundant to avoid having guests drink on empty stomachs. Alcohol's potency can increase on people who drink without food intake. Avoid salty foods too as this could make them thirsty.
3. Do not let children serve alcoholic drinks nor allow minors to consume alcoholic beverages. Never mix alcohol to any drink that kids might consume. As much as possible, you must keep alcoholic beverages away from carbonated drinks or fruit juices that kids can have.
4. An hour before your party ends, control or minimize the amount of alcohol you serve. It would be better if you absolutely stop giving your guests alcohol at this time.
5. Have a list of cab companies in your area so that guests who are too drunk to drive can take a cab home. You may also offer to drive them home if you are not intoxicated yourself.
6. If there should be anybody in the group who insists on driving despite being obviously too drunk to do so, seek the help of other guests to get some sense into him. If this doesn't work, you can temporarily disable their car, or you can ask for police intervention.
9-Year-Old Girl Drives for Drunk Dad!
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse on October 21, 2011
We've always heard that we should not drink and drive. If you had a drink too many, you should hand your car keys to a sober driver — but that does not mean you can hand the keys to your 9-year-old child.
Earlier this month, Brownstown Township Police pulled a big red van over, and was surprised to see a 9-year-old girl on the driver's seat.
Shawn Weimer, 39, from Brownstown Township, Michigan, allowed her 9-year-old daughter to drive because he was too drunk to manage the wheel. He was even bragging about it when the girl parked the car to get some gas. The father was stumbling as he walked and his words were slurred, according to the clerk who was on duty at the pump that time.
The girl was seated on a booster and was in command of the pedals and even her signal lights. When police pulled her over, she asked why when she was "driving good."
A concerned citizen, who saw the incident, followed the car after he made the call to the police to ensure that they would be able to catch the vehicle and pull it over immediately.
"And, in fact, as heinous as this is, the little girl looks at the police officer and says, 'What did you stop me for? I was driving good.' Incredible. Obviously, the officer told her she was too young to drive."
Police further stated that this was not the first time that the girl had driven.
It was later found out that the parents of the girl were divorced and that she was spending the weekend with her dad. The father told police he was just teaching her daughter how to drive, and then refused to take a breathalyzer test. The father apparently had too much whiskey to drink that night.
The irresponsible dad will be facing a felony child abuse charge based on everything that took place.
Family Sues Restaurant for Serving Too Much Alcohol
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse on October 6, 2011
A family in Iowa City has filed charges against a restaurant which served drinks continuously to their son and to his friends leading to their son's death by vehicular accident.
The Onsgard family is suing C.J. Business, Inc., the company that operates Wildwood Smokehouse and Saloon along 4919 Walleye Dr. S.E., Iowa City. They submitted their documents at the Johnson County District Court last September 30.
It was in July last year when their son Jason, 27, and his fiancée Rebecca Frea, and their companions Heather Althiser, and Joseph Vinopal, all died in a car accident at the Herbert Hoover Highway. Jason was driving a 2009 Nissan Altima and was heading west towards Iowa City when he failed to maneuver the vehicle on a curve which caused the car to roll into a ditch along the highway killing Jason and his friends.
The group was said to be celebrating the engagement of Onsgard and Frea during that day.
A farmer was checking his fence on the morning of July 25 when he discovered the scene of the accident. Onsgard, Frea, and Vinopal were all ejected from the vehicle when the crash happened.
The lawsuit filed focused on the allegation that the restaurant, Wilwood Smokehouse and Saloon, served alcoholic drinks continuously to Jason's group without taking the initiative to check whether Jason and his friends were already too intoxicated. Employees of the restaurant "should have known" that their customers were already too drunk.
The family is seeking damages resulting to the death of their son and the costs of bringing the case to the courts from the C.J. Business Inc. The restaurant owners have yet to air their side on the issue.

$195 per month. USAA.
*** Just sold the SVX, and it went down to about $150 per month. The ONLY reason I kept full coverage on the SVX was the fear of cracking the $1000 windshield. Kinda nice to see it gone.

Four vehicles insured
One moving violation between the two of us over the last three years. No accidents, no claims except for one hail damage claim about 8 years ago.
I pay about $70/mo for full coverage on the Subie with $1000 deductible.
WOW those are some tough numbers to grip... 03 wagon here $399 every 6 months with $500 deduct full/full progressive, 2 other vehicles one boat...child under 10yrs
168 a month, 3 tickets and an accident. Tickets were in my 350z from over a year ago and accident was in my C6, I put it through a fence, 10k damage to car, I guess 168 ain't bad. I'm 28.
I have an 04 WRX. Clean driving record/no accidents, I'm 26. AAA insurance, 100-300 liability, 25-50 i forgot what that was for, $50,000 property damage. $500 deductable.
But, I have it as PLEASURE: $1,491 which is $132.56 a month & if it was my primary it would be around $2,000 a year which comes out to $222 a month (AAA makes you pay 9 months out of the year not the full 12).
Its not cheap to insure these cars even with a clean driving record, and I'm on my own policy. My old car (1990 Buick Regal Custom) $379 a year liability only
2006 TR from Progressive costs me $541 every 6 months in Ridgefield, New Jersey.
Bodily Injury 100k each/ 300k total
Property damage 100k
Personal Injury 250k each
Uninsured & Under 100k each/300k total
Un/Under property 100k
Comprehensive $250 deductible
Glass $50 deductible
Collision $750 decuctible
FYI....I just added my wifes 02 Mini Cooper to the policy...total for 6 months is now $820.
Thats pretty good but I'll keep looking for even cheaper.
I say this because I'm involved in dealing with an auto injury to my wife and I can tell you that you are under-insured to cope with a major incident. The medical bills can wipe out PIP pretty quick. If you have health insurance (which I assume you do), they will want to recoup any expenses they pay due to an accident from the auto coverage and that PIP and $100K liability you thought you'd get will be gone.
Piece of advice for all of you if you or your loved one is in an accident: When they ask for insurance info at the hospital, give them your health insurance info first. PIP is paid out on a first come first served basis, so the more the you can get for lost wages (before the medical bills exhausts it), the better.

WRX / STI...what does car insurance cost you?
And what sort of ded and protection are you getting?
I have full coverage on my 06 wrx wagon, I went from a 07 Corolla and my insurance dropped from 165$ to 152$ with clean driving record. Only reason its so high because of the area I live in lot's and lot's of vandalism's. This going through Progressive.

Ooh,hang on. That is the throb of a turbocharged flat four engine. A sound which,all over the world,heralds the imminent arrival of a moron - JC.
I pay about 120$ for two cars. Both have full coverage. Having a clean driving record helps.
Life is like riding a bicycle in order to keep your balance you must keep moving.
