You are here: Home » General » Virginia Electoral Theft
Apparently dead for now. The key phrase being "for now"; the electoral college remains awful.
Yeah – for now…
Until Frank Luntz and the rest of their PR crew can figure out a way to market this better to the non-rubes.
After all, right now, they can be accused of trying to "redistribute" the Electoral College votes.
How do these work?
'Heartland Reapportionment.'
'Rural Empowerment."
Wait, I've got it!: "The Heartland Empowerment Act."
"End the Death Ballot!"
"The Fair Votes Initiative"
"Make Every Vote Count"
"Empower Excellence"
I especially like "The Fair Votes Initiative."
It sounds like "The Clear Skies Act," which did nothing but clear the skies of more birds.
Make Every Vote Count gets my vote, which doesn't count.
I think even the Virginia GOP figured out "it's not fair that the people who vote in the majority get to outvote the people who vote in the minority" wasn't a winning argument.
It's surprising to find there's really is a limit to how low they will stoop, but in the past that's proven to be a moving target.
Collegium Electorum delenda est.
I would have thought "Conlegium electorum" though a quick Gazoogle suggests "Collegium electorale" but in either case it should be "delendum" — Carthago is feminine, hence the "a" ending.
I strongly recommend adopting some variant of this for the end of all posts about Presidential politics.
We could vastly improve our gerrymandering problem AND the electoral college by doubling the size of the House of Representatives.
Improve, yes. But that would mostly help in other ways. On these two issues, the difference is marginal.
Not true–by almost doubling the number of electoral votes (each state still has two for its senators) it becomes much harder to gerrymander them (and the disproportionate weight given to smaller states gets reduced).
I'm immensely relieved. Even the modern Republican party managed to realize that there are serious dangers to rigging the system to make it more likely that a candidate who won the popular vote by a substantial margin would still lose the election. It really would threaten the legitimacy of our government to a new degree (and Bush v. Gore already shook a lot of people's confidence in the system). The electoral college, gerrymandering, and the Senate already rig things in favor of the Republicans — if they push for more rigging in their favor, there is a risk that it could come tumbling down eventually.
Meh. Once JenBob CarbonTruth said it was a done deal, I knew it was toast.
Yeah, I never realized Bill Kristol commented on blogs, or was able to accrue so many IP addresses.
Say what you will about Bill Kristol, but his bad ideas usually get tried out.
I don't know if you are joking, but I definitely thought that when he/she showed up the other day.
Wisconsin looks like the bigger danger at this point. (Walker's on the record in support.) Although if only one state does it, it probably won't affect the 2016 outcome.
Actually, to be fair to Walker (ha!), I think his statement was something along the lines of "It's worth considering." If that's his opening bid, I can't seriously believe he'd veto it if it passed the legislature, but I suppose it's not a declaration of support.
On the other hand, Dave Weigel pointed out that of the states considering this, WI needs the smallest number of Republican defectors to ensure it doesn't pass.
My assumption from the start was that enough VA pols were going to decide having this on their permanent record was bad for their national ambitions, but it's still a relief to hear it's over.
It's good that they rejected the electoral college bill, but they haven't yet rejected the horrific mid-decade redistricting bill that was passed in order to disenfranchise democratic voters, the bill that they passed on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day when an African-American state senator was at the Inauguration, and then they adjourned the session in memory of Stonewall Jackson.
There's still something to fight.
and then they adjourned the session in memory of Stonewall Jackson.
But Loomis assured us that the South is not significantly different from the North in its racist habits!
A handful of reactionary state legislators != "The South."
By your logic, we could smear The West for every idiotic, racist thing someone does or says in the Arizona state lege.
But no, this kind of thinking only gets applied to the south. Asshole.
If the White South was as racist as the snobs think, these disenfranchisement measures would not be necessary in heavily majority white Southern States. As it is, the overlords only keep the African American/ White populist liberal alliance at bay through the use of these forms of corruption.
I don't believe that the "south" is racist, but the racists certainly still have political control of a lot of the south. The Virginia legislature, for example, showed its racism on Inauguration Day. Not just a couple of them, but many of them. In fact, a majority of them.
I just posted this in the other thread before seeing this one…
I keep coming back to this point, but I can't help but think that one of the reasons this ploy is being abandoned is that it doesn't actually work (and if it doesn't work, the horrible optics aren't worth it).
Yes, this type of manipulation would have made it a closer election (as far as EVs are concerned – it otherwise WAS a close election). But it still would not have given Romney the win. The problem with this ploy is that although it makes the EV count much closer, it keeps it close (but result unchanged) even as the GOP vote creeps up to 50%. In short, in order for the GOP to win, it would *still* have to win states like Virginia and Ohio. And since it *has* to win those states, it doesn't make any sense to give up any of the electoral votes to the Dems – you want the full bounty of all those states' electoral votes.
Yes. This strategy would be most effective if it were applied not to battleground states, but rather to solidly blue states that the GOP stands no chance to win outright. But Republicans don't control any of these states.
Pennsylvania is closest to that: Obama won by 5.5 in 2012, over 10 in 08, Kerry by 2.5, and Gore by over 4. It's a state that Republicans keep thinking they can win, and they do usually manage to keep it somewhat close, enough so that the Democrats do need to play defense, but if they ever do win PA again, it will probably be as part of a blowout.
In other words, PA is highly unlikely to be the tipping point state for a R-win. Thus, siphoning off even a few D electoral votes would be useful to the R's.
In other words, PA is highly unlikely to be the tipping point state for a R-win.
In the last election, I believe it was literally the most likely state to have been the tipping point for a Romney victory, tracking Obama's national popular vote margin almost exactly. So maybe that was an aberration with a black candidate on the ballot and some of the more Appalachia-leaning parts of the state all fired up. But it may also point to more durable demographic changes that will make Pennsylvania an easier get for the GOP that Colorado, Virginia, and perhaps Ohio and Wisconsin for the foreseeable future.
In a crassly tactical sense, I think Pennsylvania is probably one of the best states for Republicans to target with this scheme.
They do seem to have thought on election day that they were going to win Pennsylvania, although why they thought that is hard to understand. Sometimes it helps that the other side doesn't believe in science, logic, or reason.
They thought they could win because they believed in unskewed polls. I'm slightly surprised the political types didn't understand how faulty that approach was, but completely amazed their polling people didn't explain it to them.
They fell for the Nate Silver double reverse.
This is good news for John McCain.
(Incidentally, if this isn't the headline on LGM when Senator McCain passes away, they deserve to lose their blogging license!)
That does seem like it might be inappropriate, but it certainly would be funny.
McCain has long outlived the point where 'inappropriate' would be a valid objection.

Beloved SAISD Drug Dog Retires
San Antonio Independent School district honored one of their own as Sade the drug sniffing dog retired her duties Monday night.
SAISD officer and handler Charles Whitlock says he's adopting the 10 year old black lab.
"We search cars and parking lots, we search schools inside and out. We do presentations at elementary schools, we help other agencies. It's been a great 8 years."
Sade was named by students and stands for "San Antonio Drug Enforcement". Whitlock says they've made kids understand the danger of drugs at the same time breaking the ice with the kids with Sade's sniffing and smiles.
"The kids love. They love her! You would think that if we walked into a school that they would be scared, but they want to run up and pet this one."
Whitlock says he and the friendly pooch developed a deep bond.
"When you are with a dog everyday 8 hours a day, you become close. I can tell what she's thinking and feeling just by watching her."
Whitlock says he couldn't let Sade go and so he adopted her.
SAISD honored Sade with a special ceremony Monday night at their regular board meeting.

'With each passing day, the likelyhood of a playoff birth becomes dimmer, but the Sabres refused to let the Penguins finish their slim hopes.'
Archives for March 2004
Bleak Playoff Dreams Stay Alive
Sabres vs. Penguins
'The Sabres are 2-20-5 in Mellon Arena since 1991-92.'
Scouting the Sabres
'Sabres are 6-10-2 on the second night of back-to-back games.'
Sabres cool off Penguins
'"We talked about running the table," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "Every game is a must win. I think when the teams above us look at it, they must think "they just won't go away.'"'
Sabres future continues to look upbeat
'Sabres managing partner Larry Quinn says coach Lindy Ruff and general manager Darcy Regier will be retained. All things considered, the team couldn't do much better than Ruff for a coach. My only knock on Regier is his reluctance to make deals. His trades often pay off but there aren't enough of them.'
Sabres win keeps Buffalo in hunt for playoff spot
'"Things are going well," McKee said. "The only thing we can do is play as hard as we can and hope that some teams can take care of the Islanders."'
Penguins' streak stopped in 5-1 loss
'The Penguins have benefited from numerous good bounces during their 10-4-2 streak but were victimized by a couple of bad ones last night.'
Penguins Report
'Regier and Ruff reacted to the report cautiously. Regier refused comment on it, saying only, "Our concern right now is winning this hockey game. Pittsburgh is playing very well, and we need the win." Ruff also said little: "It's great, but my responsibility is to do everything I can to get this team into the playoffs."'
Penguins three-game streak ends in Buffalo
'The Penguins knew they were in for a challenge Friday night, and the Buffalo Sabres delivered.'
Struggles could benefit Caron in long run
'The Sabres scratched Eric Boulton, Brian Campbell, Tom Connolly (concussion), Rory Fitzpatrick (knee), Ales Kotalik (shoulder), Taylor Pyatt (collarbone) and Alexei Zhitnik (shoulder).'
Buffalo 5, Pittsburgh 1
'"Every game is a must win,'' Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "When teams above us look at it, they must be thinking we won't go away. If they skip a beat, we can still close on them.'''
Buffalo 5, Pittsburgh 1
'"We knew (the Sabres) were going to come hard," Caron said. "I didn't think we played that bad, played actually pretty good, but they just had a couple of good breaks that ended up in our net. That's what happened, story of the game."'
Quinn: Regier, Ruff secure for next season
'"I wanted to remove the issue from the table,'' Quinn said. "We've got a week of games here that are critical to us and I just felt that it's important to not have that speculation.'''
Regier and Ruff will remain, Quinn says
'"I'm very proud of what we've accomplished to date," Quinn said. "I'm very happy with what management has done with this team. Very happy. "It's hard to find fault with anything they have done."'
Sabres vs. Penguins
'Since their infamous 0-17-0-1 stretch, the Penguins are 10-3-2-0.'

Rocks' Odorizzi fans career-high 13
Wilmington right-hander tosses six one-hit frames in 3-1 win
By John Parker / Special to MLB.com | May 10, 2011 6:42 PM ET
Odorizzi allowed one hit while fanning a career-high 13 batters over six innings Tuesday night as Class A Advanced Wilmington snapped a four-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over visiting Salem in a battle of first-place clubs.
The former first-round Draft pick whom the Royals acquired from Milwaukee in the Zack Greinke deal has won his last three starts, all of which followed Blue Rocks losses. He's allowed two runs on 10 hits while striking out 31 over 19 innings in the three outings.
"Early on, I had my control and fastball location and things were just working well all night long," Odorizzi said.
The gem gave the 21-year-old right-hander both the Carolina League and Royals organization lead in strikeouts.
"I try to throw strikes and get ahead in the count," he said. "Working off the fastball opened up a lot doors, and when you throw strikes you'll get some strikeouts. The strikeouts are a side effect of the way I want to pitch."
Odorizzi started hot Tuesday and never let up. He fanned the first five batters he faced and did not allow a hit until the sixth inning.
"Jake set the tone for us," said Wilmington manager Brian Rupp. "He was aggressive with the fastball and his curve was maybe the best we've seen it so far."
Though Odorizzi (3-0) walked a season-high three batters, just one Red Sox player reached second base during his six frames.
Kevin Chapman posted his sixth save after allowing one run on one hit in the ninth.
John Whittleman led the Blue Rocks offense, going 3-for-4 with a triple, a double and a pair of RBIs. The first baseman also picked up his first stolen base of the season and has five hits in his last two games.
Leadoff man Whit Merrifield doubled, singled, stole a base and scored two of the Rocks' three runs.
The Red Sox, who entered the game with the Carolina League's best road record (7-2) and best overall record (20-8), did not get on the board until Reynaldo Rodriguez led off the ninth with his fifth homer. They managed just three hits in the game.
Salem starter Pete Ruiz fell to 1-2 after yielding three runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out four and walked a pair.
Wilmington and Salem, who lead the Carolina Northern and Southern Divisions respectively have two more games in their three-game set. The Blue Rocks visit LewisGale Field for a four-game series next week, but it remains to be seen whether Odorizzi will have pitched himself to Double-A Northwest Arkansas by then.

I am neither a fighter or a promoter (but I do train).
I would be happy to write letters and/or press releases and do any other secretarial work.
I feel that well written correspondence would give the effort a more professional appearance and I could lessen the workload of others whose experience is more gainfully applied elsewhere.

'"There is not timetable set, however," Bassin said. "You put yourself in a dangerous position when you say tomorrow or something like that, but we'd like to think we're getting to the point where we're getting to the stage where we can get it done. But it's not an issue of just handing in an offer. It's got to be accepted, and that takes a lot of scrutiny on their part. And there's going to be others."'

my house, those six words cause heads to spin and mom to turn off HSN. I don't
think she has made Wolfgang Puck a millionaire by herself, but I would be
really upset if she went to Spago and he didn't pick up the tab for dinner.
back to the Uma Thurman piggyback incident. I don't know if she has ever truly
healed. Physically, yes, but mentally, you don't expect your friend's father to
suddenly leap on your back and start asking her what she was thinking when she
made Johnny B Goode.
Mena was in between guys at the time and is a very good sport and loves my
dad or that could have been embarrassing for everyone.
The run in with Sean Hayes where my dad kept running up to Sean and doing jazz hands also springs to mind.
going to the 1130 church service instead of the 10 a.m. service. If Sam is
walking down Camden on Sunday morning in his sport jacket and slacks and sees
my dad, he invariably crosses the street while always giving a polite nod to my
mom while his wife Lynn whispers hello as they rush past. My dad then starts trash talking Law &
Order at a volume Sam is sure to hear.
all going to see one of our favorites, Aimee Mann. My dad has always been a
sucker for tall blondes and Aimee is so nice to each human being that has ever
crossed her path that she even calls dad on his birthday and of course he
thinks this must be true love. My love for Aimee comes from her love of
whiskey. The fact that she enjoys drinking it out of a red Solo cup just kind
of cements the deal.

mind though so I let it go. Not in the Frozen sense, but just letting it go as
in I don't want to make a big deal of it and I do mind if it is cold. Who the
hell wants to live in an ice castle anyway? Oh, and where does she get her
of the minivan while I play chauffeur and drive my parents to the show. I really
don't want to look in the back because I am afraid what I will see. There was
this time when I was a kid and heard a lot of noise from my parent's room. I
was probably around 8 and I went to investigate. I blame some of my drinking
issues on that night and what I saw when I opened the door.
reading this and I love you with all of my bacon loving heart, but why oh why
did you let that band open for you? I would have preferred Juliet from Ladies
Of London belting out the National Anthem to that group. Not that mom and dad
even noticed because they were a little busy. Father's Day is a lock for my dad
with my mom and apparently he wanted to celebrate early. You have never seen a
guy so upset that there were attendants in the bathrooms.

who am I to say otherwise.

reading now and go You Tube them and I will see you back here in an hour.
time. You throw in Ted Leo and you are going to have an awesome time. If anyone
saw the opening act and then saw Aimee and Ted who go by the name The Both, you
will understand why some groups make it and some don't.
and remember the band photos, you know how much I love good music. I adore it.
The only distraction for me was when Aimee asked for a new guitar for Ted and
asked her husband Michael Penn to come deliver it from their house. All I could
think was, "Do I stay and listen or do I run outside and wait for him as he
drives up and run after him yelling out, "What about Charlize and your brother?
Is Lizzie Caplan into fat guys who smell like bacon? (He does the music for
Masters Of Sex).
Have I ever mentioned how Aimee was robbed of an Academy Award for her song
Save Me from Magnolia? Tom Cruise
agreeing to have Aimee perform most of the soundtrack is one of the few
decisions that Tom and I see eye to eye about. Oh, and that if I could marry
Katie Holmes and have her reenact her scene in The Gift. OK, so he probably
didn't care, but I would.

that stayed that Aimee would be back. There was one number she didn't sing when
performing. Voices Carry. I love that song. I don't know how she does it, but
almost 30 years later she sounds the same singing it. Oh, J-Lo, you can only
dream about having talent like this.
parents were in a lip lock and I was stone cold sober. Those two things do not
go well together.
Aimee, but my dad said he was ready to leave. I started to text Aimee to say we
would be going and I would talk to her later, but my dad pulled out his phone
and with remarkable dexterity for a man his age and while cupping my mother in
a scene straight out of Cinemax, said he had it under control. Turns out my dad
has Uber on his phone and while he bitched about the surge pricing he got a
driver and said that he was taking mom to a hotel.

convince some women they were going to be big stars.
sipping her whiskey. We stopped talking only long enough for me to take a photo
of her with two fans who flew from Europe just so they could see Aimee. That is
some dedication. I could have seen Aimee in Malibu a few months ago, but waited
until she was 20 miles closer. I told her I had a head cold which is why I
missed the Malibu show. Let's keep that between us though.

Honestly, who couldn't use another bag? There is always something in your life that needs to be lugged around. Your employees are no different. They have personal items and professional necessities, and those things need to go into bags. They may as well be promotional bags, backpacks or totes that feature the name of your business.
But these babies aren't just great for distributing to employees. Custom bags, backpacks and totes are ideal for trade show distribution as well. If your industry is a pretty buttoned up scene, then our attaches, computer bags, briefcases, messenger bags or saddle bags would all be good choices. Wheeled bags are a great option too, particularly if the expo or conference requires a lot of materials to be carried around. Any of these can be customized with the event logo and dates, so that no one will forget where they got their personalized bags, backpacks or totes.
However, if you market in a field that is more youth-oriented or casual, then backpacks or even a casual tote style may be more appropriate for your event. Then again, if you are a marketing professional – well, what do you need to listen to us for? You already know what you're doing! Just choose the imprinted bags, backpacks and totesthat best suit your audience, industry and occasion, and go for it. We have confidence that our customers can choose wisely. Plus, you really can't go wrong.
Promotional bags, backpacks or totes "have your back" like nothing else (terrible pun? We make no apologies!).There is nothing better to distribute to employees, colleagues and trade show attendees. Custom bags, backpacks and totes can even be great for personal gifts, to families or a close group of friends. Church groups love personalized bags, backpacks and totes, particularly large churches that have lots of different group programs. Mother's groups, youth groups, choirs, men's groups…the annual fishing trip…need we go on? For nearly every group at your church, there are imprinted bags, backpacks and totes to go with it. Remember, items like these create group loyalty, too. What a great way to retain members, right?
Whether it's for personal or professional distribution, promotional bags, backpacks or totes are the go-to option. Another great perk is that you can give out a different style every year! This is a great way to keep people excited about an annual event. What do you use custom bags, backpacks and totes for? Let us know in the comments below.

LONG BEACH — Police were searching Wednesday night for suspects in two unrelated shootings that injured two men in Central Long Beach.
The first shooting occurred at 3:44 p.m. in the 1100 block of Hill Street near at Magnolia Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway, said Sgt. Aaron Eaton.
The victim received one non-life threatening gunshot wound to the torso, Eaton said. The victim was transported to a local hospital.
Eaton said he couldn't provide more details about the circumstances of the shooting or the victim's identity or condition.
Police were dispatched at 4:21 p.m. for the second shooting at Esther Street and Atlantic Avenue, just north of Poly High School.
Eaton said a man, whose identity wasn't released, suffered at least one gunshot wound to the torso and was transported to a local hospital. He was in critical but stable condition, Eaton said.
At the scene of the shooting a bicycle, a backpack, clothing and blood could be seen on the ground. Eaton confirmed the bicycle was the victim's.
Following the shooting, police blocked Atlantic Avenue from Pacific Coast Highway to Poly High, where at least 25 police officers were at the scene.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Poly High was never locked down, Eaton said.
He said the motives of the shootings were unclear and that police didn't believe they were related. Both were still under investigation Wednesday. Anyone with information about the incidents areis asked to call LBPD at 562-435-6711.

...or buongiorno, depending where you are!
My name is Marta and I am a very confused beginner student of Buddhism.
I've read and heard a lot since re-discovering the Four Noble Truths last year after coming across them by chance about twenty years ago (and then forgetting about them all this time). Probably too much or in a too disconnected way, as now I seem to have quite a bit of "porridge" (as they say in Russia) in my head.
Snooping around this forum, I have found excellent guidance in the form of many great inputs, materials and ideas, for which I'd like to thank you all.
And hopefully, one day, I'll also discover that I'm not "the only Theravada Buddhist in the village" and will meet Dhamma friends around here - or even a teacher!
When I'm not littering forum boards with exclamation marks/emoticons or listening to Dhamma talks, I (try to) teach high-school boys&girls, do yoga, crochet and cook.
Oh, and watch too much Monty Python.
With gratitude,

One of the reasons I love working online and running a website is that it lets me mind my own business. I've never been one for office politics and I hate the idea of having a 'boss' so I've never been particularly partial to working your typical office job. As such then, I also don't appreciate it when my work as a blogger starts to turn political and the whole thing starts to degrade into something like a schoolyard shouting match. Isn't that the kind of thing lots of us are trying to avoid?
Unfortunately though where there's money to be made there will always be those willing to resort to unscrupulous methods, and to try to blow out our candle to make theirs blow brighter. This is where 'negative SEO' comes in – which is the point at which bloggers stop concentrating on themselves and on offering a great site, and instead start thinking about how they can get ahead by taking down the competition and getting their sites penalized. Find yourself a victim then and you can see your website drop from the top spot in the SERPs to page eight and even see your content and design ruined. It's unsettling, it's unfair and it can potentially cost you a lot of money. [Read more…]

In between his quest to improve, Warriors guard Klay Thompson often consults a trusted source eager to provide insight.
His father.
Considering Mychal Thompson won two NBA championships with the Showtime Lakers during his 12 year NBA career, the words sound powerful.
"He talks to me all the time," said Klay, who estimated having those sessions two or three times a week. "He tries to watch all my games and it's amazing to get that kind of feedback."
Before the Lakers (42-37) host the Golden State Warriors (45-33) today at Staples Center, Mychal and Klay will have a court-side discussion before going their separate ways.
Klay will try to spoil the Lakers' one-game lead over the Utah Jazz (41-38) for the Western Conference's eighth and final playoff spot, just like he did two weeks ago when he posted 22 points and went 6 of 11 from 3-point range in the Warriors' win over the Lakers. That's slightly similar to his season average of 16.4 points per game on a 40 percent clip from the perimeter.
Meanwhile, Mychal will head to the broadcast booth, where he's served as an analyst for KSPN 710-AM the past 10 years.
Mychal will advise Klay to avoid foul trouble. Mychal will echo the belief shared by Warriors coach Mark Jackson that Klay needs to attack the basket to draw fouls. Mychal also will remind Klay not to back down from Kobe Bryant's intimidation tactics. Mychal conceded he hopes Klay doesn't follow his advice too well, though.
"My blood is purple and gold and Klay knows that," Mychal said in an interview this week in the KSPN studios in downtown Los Angeles. "I hope he has a great game.
"But I want the last shot of his to rim out if it's a game winner."
Both accounts suggest Mychal's uncompromising honesty and Klay's willingness to hear it has proved instrumental in the second year guard's development.
"That's one of the many positives about Klay," Jackson said. "He comes from a great stock, has great genes and has quality parents. They've done an outstanding job raising a fine young man."
Mychal frequently videotaped Klay's youth football, basketball and baseball games. The routine continued when Klay starred at Rancho Santa Margarita, where he led the Eagles to a Division III State Championship appearance his junior year in the 2006-07 season. He then became the third-fastest player to score at least 1,000 points in his three years at Washington State.
"I'm happy he taped those videos because I still watch them," Klay said.
"At the time, I hated it. But when you look back at them, they're hilarious. It's cool to see how serious I took the game."
Meanwhile, NBA stars such as Bryant, Clyde Drexler and Rasheed Wallace peppered a young Klay with advice about keeping a strong work ethic.
"He got more aggressive and a little more confident," Bryant said. "His game now has an identity."
That involves becoming a consistently strong outside shooter and developing on defense. Mychal's feedback sometimes overlaps into his radio gig, and the topics go beyond X's and O's.
Two months ago, Klay drew a technical foul and a $35,000 fine for shoving Indiana center Roy Hibbert after Hibbert pushed the Warriors' David Lee and Stephen Curry. Mychal publicly chastised his 23-year-old son's behavior.
"I was like `You idiot!"' Mychal said on the air. "He will (find out he's been fined by us) when he sees that cash envelope show up a little short this week."
Mychal wasn't serious, but various news outlets reported he handles his son's finances.
Said Klay: "I knew he was joking, but everyone took it so seriously."
Said Mychal: "I was amused by how gullible people are. You say anything and all of a sudden, the news media will run with it as the truth."
The Thompsons dealt with a more serious topic when Klay was cited for marijuana possession his junior season in 2011 at Washington State. Klay then served a one-game suspension in the Cougars' season finale against UCLA, a loss Mychal believes attributed to Washington State missing the NCAA tournament.
"I can't put into words how disappointed I am in my son," Mychal said on the air. "He has embarrassed himself, let down his teammates and his school."
Two years later, Mychal maintained "it wasn't that hard" to address Klay's transgression.
"Klay is a public figure. If something like that happens, it's going to make ESPN," Mychal said. "You may as well face it and own up to it."
"That's his opinion," Klay said. "But I probably deserved that."
After all, they have an open dialogue.
Mychal gave him encouraging feedback after Klay scored what was then a career-high 14 points in Golden State's loss to the Lakers last season. Lately, Mychal stresses the need for Klay to thrive once the Warriors make their first playoff appearance for the second time since 1995.
"He thinks I can be one of the better two guards in this league," Klay said. "He believes that as long as I keep working."
Mychal also senses Klay pays attention to the feedback.
"He listens very quietly and always asks the right questions," said Mychal, who openly envisions Klay as a future Hall of Famer. "I always find out later what I told him eight or 10 months ago. He will tell someone else and it will get back to me.
"He's like a sponge and soaks in everything."

By Happy Mom
from Mystic, CT
My son is a senior in college and wanted a hat to wear with his pea coat and dressier spring coat. I didn't think he's like the ear flaps but figured he could keep them tucked up. He was very pleased and really likes the ear flap option for long walks when it's windy as he commutes. He also likes the excellent warranty. The sizing chart gave perfect fit.
This hat was a BIG hit with all!

This hat is of superior quality with an adjustable headband, lightweight, handsome presentation. It was a gift for my boss who was delighted with my excellent choice!

Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, has been named Legislator of the Year by a statewide senior services organization.
The California PACE Association announced the award on Friday.
The organization cited her contributions to the health of California's seniors and her support for the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). PACE serves individuals 55 or older who are certified to need nursing home care.
In a statement, CalPACE executive director Peter Hansel commended Lowenthal's Assembly Bill 574, which required the State Department of Health Care Services to expand PACE contracts and eliminate requirements for pilot programs and demonstration projects.
"Assemblymember Lowenthal is a tireless advocate for the rights of California's frail seniors," Hansel said. "Her ongoing efforts to keep seniors at home with their families are a personal benefit to thousands of Californians as well as a cost-effective model that will save the state crucial dollars during an ongoing budget crisis."
Lowenthal called the PACE program an example of California innovation.
"Everyone wants to remain independent and in their own homes as they grow older," Lowenthal said. "PACE makes that possible for thousands every day."

Rick Rubin says there 'might be' a second 'Yeezus' album
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Kanye West fans may see a second coming of Yeezus. Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin tells TheDailyBeast.com there "might be" a Yeezus sequel in the future. Rubin - who helped executive produce "Yeezus" - explains that Kanye came to him just five weeks before the album was set to hit stores. At that point, Rubin says the album was "unfocused" and many of the songs still didn't have Kanye's vocals.
Kanye apparently envisioned Yeezus having about 16 tracks, but Rubin suggested he make the album "more concise," and even recommended that Kanye split the material into two distinct albums. Rubin says that was the "first breakthrough" they had with the album. Kanye and Rubin worked tirelessly for 15 days and were able to whittle the album down to its current ten tracks. It was a close call, however, as Kanye finished recording the album just three days before he was scheduled to turn it in to his record label.
Following its first week in stores, Yeezus ended up at number one on the Billboard 200 chart after selling 327,000 copies.

Campus ministry in post-Christian Europe
Sarah (Herman) Malcolm (M.A. 2003) and her husband, Rob, are Chi Alpha missionaries
working with students at Aberdeen University, Scotland.
Upon entering the Priory, your feet stick to the floor via a thin layer of sweat and spilled beer. Looking up, you'll see a mixture of symbols: stained glass, a cross and a DJ's turntable sitting in the pulpit. What is now a weekend nightclub for stressed and irreligious students was once a cathedral of worship.
Outside, on the same street, three other churches have suffered the same fate. Secularism is the cultural norm. There is no religious right or left because there is no religion.
Reaching students in a post-Christian environment is a highly exciting, creative experiment. Aware that students are uninterested in traditional church settings, we look for ways to enter into their community. So we began outreaches in a pub on the same street as the transformed cathedrals. We played music, taught on spiritual themes and had discussion groups that centered on Christian life and teachings. That's how we met Martha.
She was so unassuming that no one saw what was happening beneath the surface. Before long she not only was attending our events but was becoming part of the fabric of our community. Frequent conversations ultimately led to her commitment to follow Jesus.
That was two years ago, and since then we have met many Marthas. Sincere, seeking students have found themselves belonging to our community before believing in Christ.
We have found that we need to listen before we speak. When religion seems to have failed, what remains is a need for authentic relationships in which we listen to the hearts of the seeking.
That realization led us to experiment with what we now call Creative Arts Cafés. Instead of a pub, we meet in a local Starbucks to host a variety of events, from art exhibits to open-mic nights. At the end of each evening, I read from a blog on a spiritual theme. Students are finding a safe place to make friends, hear truth and enter a conversation about faith. The approach may seem simplistic, but our non-Christian friends now take off work to come to these cafés. Our expression of community is our first sermon about Jesus, which in turn gives power to the words we confess about his love and life-giving truth.

Messiah's coming glory: judgment and a remnant preserved
But it was in the counsels of God that His presence should be established in glory in the midst of His people, and this will be accomplished in Christ at the end of the age. Hence the testimony of the progress of the judgments is interrupted after the first general statement, and in chapter 6 the prophet sees this glory. Yet its first effect is judicial, and operates to blind and condemn them. The previous judgment (chap. 5) had been in respect of the breaking of the law and the despising of the word of the Holy One of Israel. But with enmity against Christ and His rejection comes judicial blindness and the separation of a remnant. That it is the glory of Christ is taught us in chapter 12 of John's Gospel. The prophet feels at once the incompatibility of the people's condition with the manifestation of this glory. Unclean lips cannot celebrate it. But a live coal from the altar cleanses his own lips, and he consecrates himself to Jehovah's message; and to that which concerns the glory of Christ. The heart of the people is made fat until there is entire desolation. Nevertheless there shall be a remnant, a holy seed, which shall be like the sap of a tree that has lost its leaves. [1]
The two aspects of God's judgment in chapters 5 and 6
We have then in these last chapters the judgment of the people under two aspects: first, that of God's government (in this point of view the people, being altogether guilty, are given up to the Gentiles); secondly, in view of the glory of Jehovah's presence at His coming according to His purposes of grace (for this the people were unfit). But here, as the purposes of God were in question, there is a remnant according to election in whom the glory shall be re-established. This distinction must be made when the government of God and His outward dealings are in question.
In chapter 5, which speaks of the former character of judgment, there is no remnant. It is simply the public and complete judgment of the nation; for as to this all rested on their responsibility. In the Gospels this is looking for fruit; Christ might dig about it and dung it, but this was looking for fruit. Hence it is cursed and never to bear fruit. That is Israel (man) under the first covenant. In chapter 6 God acts within, in His own relationship with the people. Hence we find a remnant and the assured re-establishment of the people; for the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Here also we find Christ. God could not cast off His people for ever, and the prophetic faith is found which says, How long? as elsewhere it is said, There is none to say, How long? For when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on earth?
[1] A more exact translation throws much light on this prophecy. Nevertheless there shall still be in it a tenth, and it shall return and shall be to be consumed, as the oak and the teil tree, which being cut down have still the trunk [or the rooted stump]; thus the holy seed shall be their stock" (chap. 1: 9). That is, the remnant itself will undergo Judgment and consumption at the time of their return; but there shall be a holy seed, from which life will spring as from a tree cut down.Synopsis by John Darby


text: http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft2012/story/_/id/7467078/mel-kiper-first-mock-draft-year Kiper has us taking Dallas Cowboys * David DeCastro, OG, Stanford Last year, the Cowboys got Tyron Smith at No. 9 overall, and that pick helped them turn over the offensive line. The results were pretty good in 2011. With DeCastro, the Cowboys have a chance to solidify the interior of the line, helping both the running game and protection for Tony Romo and make that unit a strength. The way I see it, the Cowboys have good pieces in place at every other spot on the offense. The talent at wide receiver and tight end is fine, Romo was quietly among the top-performing quarterbacks and there's plenty at running back. Doubling down on the O-line should be an option for Jerry Jones. If the value is there, Dallas could also target the secondary.

Your Civil Harassment Restraining Order After Hearing (CLETS-CHO) (Form CH-130) most likely has an expiration (end) date on the first page in item 4. That means that on that date, your order will end and you will no longer be protected by it.
If you are still concerned for your safety or want your restraining order to stay in place, you have to "renew" it, which makes it last longer and gives it a new end date. A renewal can make the restraining order last another 5 years.
You must ask the court to renew your restraining order BEFORE your current one ends.
Before your current Civil Harassment Restraining Order After Hearing (Form CH-130) ends, you can ask the court to renew your order. The new order can last up to 3 more years.
To ask for a renewal of your order:
1. Fill out your court forms
Fill out:
2. Fill out your court's local forms (if any)
Ask your local court clerk if there are local forms you have to fill out. Some courts also have forms on their website. Find your local court's website.
3. Have your forms reviewed.
If your court's family law facilitator or self-help center helps people with restraining orders, ask them to review your paperwork. They can make sure you filled it out properly before you move ahead with your case.
4. Make at least 2 copies of all your forms.
One copy will be for you, another copy will be for restrained person. The original is for the court.
5. Take your forms to the court clerk.
The clerk will give your forms to the judge for his or her signature. Ask the clerk when to return to pick up your paperwork. The clerk will file your papers.
6. The clerk or judge will set a hearing date.
You must go to the hearing. Form CH-710 will tell you when and where it will be. Your restraining order will be extended until this court date.
7. Figure out WHEN you have to serve your papers by
You will have to serve the papers on the restrained person by the deadline the judge writes on your papers. This is so that the restrained person has a few days to respond to your request and prepare for court.
To find your deadline for service:
8. Serve the restrained person
Personally serve the restrained person with a copy of:
Remember, someone over 18 — NOT you or anyone protected by the restraining order — can serve the order. For more help with service, read What Is "Proof of Personal Service"? (Form CH-200-INFO). And read the section on service of process.
9. File your proof of service
Have your server fill out a Proof of Personal Service (Form CH-200) and give it to you so you can file it with the court. This form tells the judge and police that the restrained person got a copy of the Request to Renew and the Notice of Hearing. It is very important your server fills out the Proof of Service correctly. If possible, have your court's family law facilitator or self-help center review it to make sure it was filled out properly.
10. Go to your court hearing
At the hearing, the judge will decide whether or not to renew the restraining order.
If you are still afraid of the restrained person, let the judge know. If the restrained person has abused you, annoyed you, or harassed you since the last order, or disobeyed any parts of the order you are trying to renew, make sure you tell the judge and provide any proof or details about the violations.
You do not need to show that the restrained person has abused you since the last order. It will be up to the judge to decide whether to renew your restraining order or not. And the judge will decide whether to give you a new order for up to 5 more years.
If the judge renews the restraining order at the hearing:
1. Fill out an Order Renewing Civil Harassment Restraining Order (CLETS) (Form CH-730), attach the restraining order (Form CH-130) that the judge renewed, and give it to the clerk. The judge will sign Form CH-730 renewing your restraining order.
2. Serve the restrained person.
3. File your proof of service.
4. Keep 1 copy of the Order Renewing Civil Harassment Restraining Order (CLETS) (Form CH-730), with your Civil Harassment Restraining Order After Hearing (CLETS-CHO) (Form CH-130) and the filed Proof of Service with you AT ALL times.

Choosing a primary care provider gives patients a consistent relationship with an individual who understands their health history and the bigger picture of their long term health care needs. Everyone, including children and young adults, should have a designated primary care provider who understands their medical history and can readily detect an abnormality or better treat a problem. When specialized care is needed, patients can rely on their primary care provider to team with Guthrie specialists to get them the help they need.
Guthrie primary care offers an extensive network of primary care providers in 22 communities within New York State and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All locations are accepting new patients. Evening and weekend hours are also available at select locations.

Talkers and doers
Greg DeKoenigsberg wrote a blog item which wraps up with the following quote: "The world is full of talkers and doers, and in the long haul, people are usually smart enough to figure out which is which."
While the blog itself is based on a recent presentation by Dave Neary of GNOME regarding contributions, or lack thereof, by FOSS companies and individuals to the GNOME desktop, the underlying theme (for lack of a better term) returns to the upstream argument where, frankly, some entities aren't pulling their weight on the development end of things — and it applies not only to GNOME, but to the kernel, to Xorg and so on down the list.
So I'm just going stand aside and let you read it, and comment on it if you like.
