Beck, Fox & Friends take a trip down health care misinformation lane
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
Fox & Friends hosted Glenn Beck to rehash tired health care reform misinformation, including that the health care reform bill is modeled after the British system, which will lead to "very little care" and "death panels" for infants and the elderly, and that Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) appointee Donald Berwick is "into rationing care." In fact, the new health care reform law does not create a health care system modeled after the British system; the existence of death panels in health care reform has been comprehensively debunked, and in his comments about rationing, Berwick was pointing out that insurance companies already ration care.
Fox & Friends falsely claims health care reform was based on British system
Doocy: British system is "sort of just like the one we made law." On the July 27 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy teased an upcoming segment on Britain's National Health Service by claiming: "Britain now ready to admit its health care system is a big, fat mess. It's a system that's sort of just like the one we made law in the United States of America."
Johnson: "Didn't we just pass health care modeled after" the British system? Later in the show, guest co-host Peter Johnson Jr. teased Beck's upcoming segment by asking: "The U.K. admits its socialized medicine is a mess. Didn't we just pass health care modeled after theirs? So what does this mean for our future?"
In fact, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act does not resemble Britain's NHS. As Media Matters has noted, the United Kingdom has a single-provider health care model, wherein the government owns and operates the health care system, employing all doctors and other medical personnel through the National Health Service (NHS) and paying them for all medical services. Our own Veterans Affairs offers a single-provider system for veterans. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act implements private health insurance exchanges and an expansion of Medicaid, not a nationwide single-provider system.
Beck, Fox & Friends revive debunked "death panel" claims
Johnson asks Beck if limiting care to the elderly is "what we're going to do in the United States." During a segment with Beck, Johnson claimed that, in Britain, there were reports that "they are going to limit end-of-life care. Now we talk about death panels. They're saying to cancer patients -- potentially terminally ill cancer patients -- you go home, and we're going to teach you about self-management in the end stages of life." After Johnson asked Beck, "Is this what we're going to have in the United States?" Beck falsely claimed that under health care reform, "for small babies under 3, you're going to get very little care. Once you hit 60 years old, you're going to get very little care. That's the way it works."
Media debunked the death panels -- more than 40 times over. Numerous media outlets debunked right-wing claims that health care reform would encourage euthanasia of the elderly, including Sarah Palin's claim -- forwarded by the conservative media -- that the bill would create a "death panel." Media Matters has identified more than 40 instances of media reporting that these claims are false.
Right-wing media have continually changed the definition to keep accusing health care reform of implementing "death panels." Conservative media figures have repeatedly accused health care reform of implementing "death panels." The definition has changed to incorporate different aspects of health care reform, all of which have been debunked.
Beck distorts Berwick's words to claim he's "into rationing care" and "England's health care system"
Beck distorted comments to falsely claim Berwick is "into rationing care" and thinks health care is "about redistribution of wealth." Beck also attacked CMS appointee Donald Berwick, rehashing old attacks that Berwick is "into rationing care" and that his statements on wealth redistribution confirm "everything that we've been pointing out on the show. We said that health care was about redistribution of wealth."
In fact, Berwick was explaining that we are currently rationing care. In the interview with Biotechnology Healthcare, Berwick acknowledges that the current health care system already rations care and that the question for the future is how best to do it. From Biotechnology Healthcare, June 2009:
BIOTECHNOLOGY HEALTHCARE: Critics of CER have said that it will lead to the rationing of healthcare.
BERWICK: We can make a sensible social decision and say, "Well, at this point, to have access to a particular additional benefit [new drug or medical intervention] is so expensive that our taxpayers have better use for those funds." We make those decisions all the time. The decision is not whether or not we will ration care -- the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open. And right now, we are doing it blindly.
Indeed, insurance companies already ration care. The insurance industry has already admitted that it currently uses cost benefit analyses to determine health care coverage. In an interview with NPR's Morning Edition, Wellpoint chief medical officer Dr. Sam Nussbaum told co-host Steve Inskeep that "where the private sector has been far more effective than government programs is in limiting clinical services to those that are best meeting the needs of patients." Former CIGNA senior executive Wendell Potter testified in front of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation that "insurers routinely dump policyholders who are less profitable or who get sick" and that insurers "dump small businesses whose employees' medical claims exceed what insurance underwriters expected."
Medicare and Medicaid are popular programs that are "by definition redistributional." In attacking Berwick for his comments about health care and redistributing wealth, Beck ignores that Medicare and Medicaid, which Berwick will oversee, are federal programs that provide health insurance to people who are elderly, disabled, or are in low-income brackets. The funds for Medicare and Medicaid come from federal tax revenues, including a 1.45 percent payroll tax on all earnings. In other words, Medicare and Medicaid are funded by the redistribution of wealth. A June 2005 Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that 74 percent of adults "say Medicaid is a 'very important' government program, ranking it close to Social Security (88%) and Medicare (83%) in the public's mind."
Beck attacked Berwick for previous positive statements about NHS. Beck also said Berwick "called England's health care system a seductress. He thinks it is the best system that's ever been created," ignoring that Berwick criticized aspects of Britain's National Health Service.
In fact, Berwick also made comments critical of NHS, such as, "Is the NHS perfect? Far from it." In the same 2008 speech cited by Beck, Berwick indicated that the NHS is "far from" being perfect and that "the NHS has a lot more work ahead." Berwick also listed "ten suggestions" for how the NHS "can do even better." From Berwick's 2008 speech:
BERWICK: Is the NHS perfect? Far from it. Far from it. I know that as well as anyone in this room, from front line to Whitehall, I have had the privilege of observing performance and even to help to measure its performance.
There is less progress in some areas, especially with comparison to other European systems, such as in specialty access, in cancer outcomes, in patient centeredness, in life expectancy and infant mortality for socially deprived populations. In other words, in improving its quality, two facts are true: The NHS in en route, and the NHS has a lot more work ahead.

As we all make the transition from summer wardrobe to autumn ensembles, Elle magazine is full of inspiration in the October 2014 Personal Style Issue.
Her world was shattered when her husband Rupert Sanders was caught cheating on her with "Twilight" babe Kristen Stewart, but now that she's had some time to heal Liberty Ross is moving on.
Kicking off the weekend a little early, a group of gorgeous celebrity gals showed up at a private dinner in honor of Emanuel Ungaro's Fausto Puglisi in Los Angeles last night (May 1).
"Project Runway" star Heidi Klum was all smiles as she sauntered her way around the Barneys New York-hosted shindig, held at the illustrious Chateau Marmont.
She was completely blind sided when her ex-husband revealed his affair with Kristen Stewart in 2012, and now Liberty Ross is opening up about the ordeal in the December 2013 issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
Stepping out for a spot of shopping, Liberty Ross showed up in West Hollywood yesterday afternoon (July 2).
The "Snow White and the Huntsman" actress/model kept it casual in a black tank top/black shorts combo with a pair of black sunglasses and a black and white handbag.
Celebrities love high-profile shindigs, and some of Tinseltown's hottest ladies were in the hous for the grand opening of the CH Carolina Herrera Boutique in Los Angeles last night (June 26).
Gorgeous gals like Amy Adams and Rashida Jones both turned out for the affair, held at Herrera's new locale on swanky Rodeo Drive.
Stepping out for a great cause, some of Hollywood's hottest ladies showed up at the 2013 Children Mending Hearts Style Sunday event in Beverly Hills yesterday (June 9).
Hilary Duff looked gorgeous in a BCBGenerations dress with a Louis Vuitton handbag and an Emily Noelle belt as she hammed it up for the shutterbugs.
Kicking off the weekend a little early, Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Nicole Richie showed up at the Balmain LA Dinner in Los Angeles last night (May 2).
Joined by Liberty Ross, the darling duo hammed it up for the shutterbugs outside the Chateau Marmont, both sporting some seriously retro-chic attire.

Heavy D's mom clears up reports about rapper's estate
Listen to Heavy D on iHeartRadio
The mother of late rapper Heavy D is setting the record straight about recent rumors surrounding the rapper's estate. Responding to reports that Hev's brother had filed court papers seeking control of the estate, Eulahlee Myers issued a statement assuring everyone that the rapper's assets will be going to his 13-year old daughter Xea.
She says Hev's brother Floyd recently filed a petition in Los Angeles Court so he could sell a condo he and the rapper owned together. Eulahlee calls the process nothing more than a "formality" that was required by the State of California.
She also points out that after Heavy D's death, Floyd was chosen by family members to manage the day-to-day operations of the rapper's estate.
Heavy D, whose real name was Dwight Myers, passed away in 2011 from a pulmonary embolism.

Split and blending family dynamic
My family is comprised mostly of step uncles, aunts and cousins. I have one cousin in particular who's father has been in a rocky relationship with his girlfriend of 4 years (not his biological mother) and his mother has had many different boyfriends throughout his life (he is now 12 years old). I worry about him and his ability to distinguish what it means to have a solid, stable family and wonder what kind of affect this could have on his relationships in life. Of course, it is common now a days that children come from divorced families and have step-parents and brothers and sisters, but I would like to know in what ways could parents approach this type of situation to ensure their children understand the importance of healthy relationships.
Thanks in advance.

Dear NatMari,
Thanks for your post - certainly an interesting question in today's culture.
Obviously the very best way of showing children what a solid, loving family home is like comes from modelling this (as you refer to above). Families may all look different but it is love and care and stability which are important to children. When this is not experienced and modelled at home unfortunately problems are likely to start to arise. Research shows that children who do not experience healthy relationships at home more likely to have problems forming healthy relationships in the future.
Of course, this does not necessarily have to be the case. If children have other strong relationships with adults where they see healthy marriages and partnerships then they can draw from these examples in their own lives. Seeing this in practice really does make every difference. Churches and mentoring programs can often provide other adult role models to children who may need this.
If, as parents, we live in a way which values relationships and treat other people with the respect and care they deserve then our children will learn to do this naturally.
Warm wishes,

Odorizzi spins five scoreless innings
Tampa Bay's No. 3 prospect fans six batters, improves to 2-0
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | April 29, 2013 7:58 PM ET
Jake Odorizzi has been putting up strange numbers throughout April.
His finest start of the year didn't earn him a decision, while his worst outing handed him his first win. He has fanned a career-high 12 batters per nine innings, but induced a career-low one double play.
The lone time he pitched into the seventh inning was also the game in which he threw the fewest number of strikes. Four of the five extra-base hits he has allowed have left the yard, but he is yet to yield a double.
With everything else being equal, Monday's outing can almost be considered "regular."
Tampa Bay's No. 3 prospect surrendered four singles over five innings in the Triple-A Durham Bulls' 5-0 win over the host Syracuse Chiefs.
"My strikeouts are up and so are my fly balls. I get a lot of fly balls to begin with," Odorizzi said. "When I put guys on, I just want to get them out as quickly as possible. It doesn't matter if it's a strikeout or a flyball or a ground ball. I'm not worried about the double plays. They're nice, but you can't control everything, I guess."
The 23-year-old threw 59 of 91 pitches for strikes while fanning six batters. He did not walk a batter for the second time this year.
The 6-foot-2 right-hander worked around Will Rhymes' two-out single in the first inning and he stranded two runners on base in the third. Chris Marrero led off the fourth frame with a base hit to left field, but he was erased on Micah Owings' forceout.
"Overall, it went well," he said. "I was able to keep the ball down and work off of my fastball and keep them off balance. I threw my changeup and slider and mixed things up with my curveball as well."
An inning later, Chris Rahl beat out an infield single with one out, but Eury Perez lined into an inning-ending double play.
"It was a slider and I hung it a little bit," Odorizzi said of the pitch to Perez. "He got the barrel to it, but I think Beckham was shading him up the middle. He made the throw [back to first base] over the runner which was difficult to do. It was a big boost for the team."
Odorizzi (2-0) started the season with 6 2/3 innings of shutout ball at home to Gwinnett on April 8, but he exited with the game while it ws scoreless. He struck out a combined 17 batters over 10 1/3 innings in consecutive no-decisions against Charlotte on April 13 and 18, marking the longest winless streak he has experienced to start a year in full-season ball.
He earned his first win of 2013 at home to Toledo on Wednesday, despite allowing four runs on four hits and a season-high four walks and three homers over five innings. He struck out a season-low five batters, but the Bulls gave him seven runs of support in the first four frames and never looked back.
"I didn't have my stuff with me, but I kept my team in the game," said MLB.com's No. 45 prospect. "That was the worst I have thrown all year, but I took confidence knowing that even though the stuff wasn't showing up, I could still get by. It's good when you can get through that. You just have to take the good with the bad.
"[Home runs] were the main point of emphasis today. I've been working with pitching coach Neil [Allen] since that last outing about staying back over the rubber and separating and keeping the ball down in the zone. The pitches I left up today were up there on purpose. My command was good."
Originally selected by the Brewers 32nd overall in the 2008 Draft, the Illinois native was sent to the Royals in the Zack Greinke deal on Dec. 19, 2010. Kansas City, in turn, moved the right-hander to the Rays with Mike Montgomery, Wil Myers and Pat Leonard in exchange for James Shields on Dec 9.
Odorizzi split time between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha in 2012, going a combined 15-5 with a 3.03 ERA in 26 starts. His 15 wins tied for the third-most in the Minors and he started for the U.S. team in the Futures Game at Kauffman Stadium. He made his Major League debut with the Royals on Sept. 23 and went 0-1 in two big league appearances.
On Monday, Frank De Los Santos worked two hitless innings in relief of Odorizzi and Steve Geltz struck out a pair of batters over the final two frames to seal the victory. Catcher Chris Gimenez was 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored and third baseman Cole Figueroa recorded two RBIs.
Chiefs starter Chris Young (0-1) allowed five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5 2/3 innings.

Post subject: Barrett Jones
Overshadowed by his higher profile teammates at Alabama, offensive linemen Barrett Jones has been the forgotten man so far in this years pre-draft process. Jones played Right Guard, Left Tackle, and most recently Center during his career as a four-year starter for the Crimson Tide. Jones won the Outland Trophy while playing Left Tackle in 2011 and was awarded the 2012 Rimington Trophy as the nations top Center. He was also a Unanimous All-American in 2011 and 2012 and his coach Nick Saban, has publicly compared Jones to NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Matthews, whom Saban became familiar with while working as a member of the Houston Oilers coaching staff from 1988-1989.
The 65, 311 pound Jones is a technically proficient blocker who has consistently played well against elite competition in the SEC. Hes good at getting to second-level blocks and displays excellent fundamentals in all facets of his game. Jones is a Day One starter in the NFL and could play either guard position, Right Tackle, or Center. His versatility would be a huge plus as the Rams have questions all along the Offensive Line. His experience at Center could prove especially important going forward as Scott Wells, who signed a four-year $24 million dollar contract in 2012, recently underwent a second surgery on his right knee. Wells has now had three surgeries in the last nine months, with two on his knee and one to repair a broken left foot.
In addition to his versatility and blocking skills, Jones has great intangibles as he is a fiery competitor and leader who currently boasts a 4.0 GPA. His toughness was also on display this season when he played the last five weeks on the season, including the BCS National Championship Game, with torn ligaments in his foot.
Jones recently had surgery on his injured foot which will cause him to miss all the pre-draft events. He was already considered a second round pick by most experts, and without the ability to significantly improve his stock during the pre-draft process, Jones should be available for the Rams at #46. While not a flashy pick, Jones is a solid player with a high floor who I think would be a great addition for Fisher and the Rams.

At #46, I certainly wouldn't complain. But he's a spot starter at OT. Doesn't have the feet to play in space vs. NFL talent. But he can play any of the 3 positions on the interior and will give you very steady, good play. Can be great at Center. Probably only good at OG because he doesn't blow guys off the ball. Injuries are a concern though.

I was actually considering putting him in my mock in the 2nd round, as a good versatile Olineman seems like a very appealing prospect for us. Could play guard next year and, when Wells moves on/retires, take over and have pro bowl potential at center. Good prospect in my eyes.

Exactly my thoughts. Wells is 32 and has just had three operations in the last year; he's probably only got a couple of years left at the top level and Jones could be groomed as his replacement.
I watched the Rams at Twickenham and want my money back.

THE HOUSE OF STARS: When the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium opened 80 years ago this week, it promised to serve all the entertainment and convention needs of the city well into the future - although we're pretty sure its builders had hoped for more than 43 years.
Though it was demolished in 1975, the Auditorium more than delivered on its promise. In its main room and halls it had hosted trade shows of almost every kind, from buttons to autos.
The Miss Universe beauty pageant was born in the auditorium in 1952 and brought international attention to the building and the city during the pageant's eight-year stay in Long Beach before it moved to Miami in 1960.
In the 1950s and early '60s it drew thousands of housewives to cooking schools that included bags of free grocery samples and demonstrations of the latest in home appliances.
Sports competitions were held there: The Wilson-Poly basketball game was played there when it was the biggest sporting event in town, next to the Wilson-Poly football game. Bill Tilden played there in his first pro tennis tour and the Harlem Globetrotters brought their tour there annually.
In terms of star power, it's difficult to know where to start. Wait. No, it isn't. You have to start on July 11, 1955, when Judy Garland performed her "Comeback Tour" following her success in "A Star Is Born." She, of course, was a brilliant enough star, but those lucky to be in attendance at her show at the Auditorium were blinded by her guests on stage. One after another, she called them up: Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, all of whom rode on a chartered bus from Hollywood down to Long Beach. Also on that bus and in attendance at the show were Ronald Reagan, Debbie Reynolds with husband Eddie Fisher, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Betty Grable and others.
Less than a year later, The King came.
In case you hadn't heard of Elvis Presley in the summer of 1956, the Long Beach Independent explained that he was a "youthful new singing sensation who has taken up where Johnny Ray left off. Hailed as the greatest current rhythm and blues singer, Presley just turned 21 and is a favorite of the bobby-sox set. His frantic shouting, acrobatic instrument playing and uninhibited country-style singing have earned him the title of `America's Only Atomic-Powered Singer."'
Liberace played one of his early recitals at the Auditorium, launching his first world tour in the hall in February 1947.
Bob Hope was practically the house comic during the war years (all the war years), when he would often perform free shows for servicemen and veterans, many of which were broadcast on the radio for the troops overseas.
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis performed one of their first shows in 1951 in the auditorium.
In 1949, the local high schools began having all-night graduation dances at the Auditorium, and the dances featured nationally known artists including Kay Starr, Les Brown and Stan Kenton.
The hall was a mandatory stop on the campaign trail. Richard Nixon, Earl Warren, Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver all shared their political views there. An attendance record was set in August 1956 when 14,776 people at a Jehovah's Witness convention (a convention that still comes to Long Beach to meet in the Arena) listened to Roscoe Stone explain "Why Permanent Peace Will Come in Our Time."
More than a decade after Elvis opened the rock 'n' roll floodgates, the Auditorium hosted, especially in the late 1960s, up to its demolition in 1975 when it shared rock-concert business with the Long Beach Arena.
Most baby boomers and those thereabout in age recall some of those great shows, which included Three Dog Night with Lee Michaels (May 30, 1969), the Band (Feb. 6, 1970), the Allman Brothers (March 5, 1972), Emerson, Lake & Palmer (March 22, 1972), Chuck Berry (Nov. 19, 1972), Stevie Wonder (March 16, 1973) Steely Dan (May 5, 1974), and Savoy Brown, headlining over Manfred Mann and KISS (May 31, 1974).
But, to discover just how versatile a space the Municipal Auditorium was, we've got to go all the way back to the second year of its existence: the days following the March 10, 1933 earthquake, when the Auditorium was converted into a shelter for those made homeless by the quake. Thousands of cots were brought in by the Navy and a soup kitchen was set up.
Further, it served as City Hall for a time following the quake, and City Council meetings were held in its glamorous rooms.
Seems the auditorium was strong enough to easily withstand the devastating quake. It was built to last a lot longer than it did.

Edamame are young, sweet, green soybeans harvested while still tender.
Sometimes you will see them referred to as Japanese soybeans because "eda" means branch or twig and "mame" is bean in Japanese.
Look for fresh, shelled edamame (eh-dah-MAH-meh) in the produce section of many grocery stores. They are also sold frozen, both in the pod and shelled.
The word was first found in an English-language publication in 1951. But edamame and its definition (immature green soybeans, usually in the pod) was added to the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary as a new word only in 2008.
Edamame is used as a source of protein in many vegetarian recipes. A half-cup of edamame contains about 8 grams of protein. Like many other beans, edamame also has fiber, with 4 grams per half-cup serving.
You can eat edamame hot or cold. They have a very mild bean taste and, when cooked, a soft texture.
A popular way to enjoy edamame is to steam or boil them in their pods in salted water. Remove them , pop the beans out of their pods and lightly salt them.
Edamame pods are not edible.
You can eat edamame on their own for a snack or you can add them to casseroles and stir-fries or serve them as a side dish. Edamame is a great addition to a tossed salad or substitute them for another bean in a bean salad.
Their soft texture makes them easy to process into a paste-like mixture for use in dips.

Winterhawks' Mike Johnston headed to the big show
The Pittsburgh Penguins have named former Portland Winterhawks coach Mike Johnston as their new coach.
Johnston, who was introduced at a Wednesday afternoon news conference, will receive a three-year contract according to media reports.
"As a career coach, you aspire to get to these positions," Johnston said. "It's been my goal, it's been my dream."
The Penguins had been without a coach since firing Dan Bylsma on June 6.
"Mike comes to Pittsburgh with great experience at all levels of hockey," Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford said. "He has terrific knowledge of the game and proven leadership ability. His coaching style is going to be a good for the players we have here with the Penguins -- it's an up-tempo style, but it begins from deep in the defensive zone. We're very excited to have him."
Former Penguins forward and Tampa Bay Lightning coach Rick Tocchet has also been named to Johnston's staff.
"He thinks out of the box, and that's what I like," Tocchet said of Johnston.
Assistant coaches Tony Granato and Todd Reirden will not return. Assistant coach Jacques Martin will remain with the club in a yet-to-be-determined capacity.
Goaltending coach Mike Bales and video coordinator Andy Saucier will remain in their current roles.
Johnston has been the coach of the Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League since early in the 2008-09 season. In his first full season he led them to the biggest turnaround in team history in 2009-10, improving the team by 48 points.
The Winterhawks went to the WHL Final in each of the past four seasons and made the Memorial Cup Final in 2013, losing to Halifax. Johnston was suspended for the remainder of the 2012-13 season on Nov. 28, 2012, as a result of player benefits violations committed by the team.
The Winterhawks' 2013-14 roster featured 10 players already drafted by NHL teams, including Penguins 2012 first-rounder Derrick Pouliot.
Prior to coaching Portland, Johnston served as an associate coach in the NHL for the Vancouver Canucks (1999-2006) and Los Angeles Kings (2006-08).
After making the Stanley Cup Final in 2008 and winning the Cup in 2009 after Bylsma took over as coach during the season, the Penguins have suffered a serious of disappointments in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, most recently a seven-game loss to the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Second Round after they held a 3-1 lead.
"Everything we do [from day one] is setting the table for the playoffs," Johnston said.

Move over Kate, it's Pippa's time to shine.
-Kenneth Thapoung
In general, a documentary sounds dreadfully boring, but a documentary centered on Pippa Middleton (yes, Pippa) sounds fantastic!
Radar Online exclusively reports that TLC's new special,Crazy About Pippa will feature none other than "Her Royal Hotness" herself. The show promises to show never-before-known secrets of the younger Middleton sister, but what else is there to share that the 238,217 members of the "Pippa Middleton Ass Appreciation Society" Facebook page don't already know?
Read Pippa Middleton Loves Floral Dresses!
According to the Daily Mail, TLC suggests the documentary will feature the man who dubbed Pippa a "Foxy Filly" Prince Harry and his relationship to Pippa. Don't read too much into the nickname because Pippa's longtime boyfriend Alex Loudon already has dibs on Britain's "most eligible bachelorette."
Following her romances and style (that we're obsessed with, I mean we have a weekly style watch going on here!), Radar Online also reports that we'll hear about Pippa's friendship with her ex, George Percy and her reputable style, sometimes wearing three dress in one day or the same dress but in different colors.
Tune in to TLC on Tuesday, August 9 at 9 pm EST to catch Pippa's TV appearance.
Kenneth Thapoung is a regular contributor to BettyConfidential.

I attended a seminar yesterday on the Constitution and the ways in which the document continues to change and evolve as society does. It was a fascinating day – much more so than I imagined it would be – and I'm eager to sign up for the rest of the programs in the series.
One of the panels featured a lawyer who does extensive work with issues of privacy. After her session, I made my way to the front of the lecture hall to try to get a moment or two with her, which she graciously offered me. I quickly told her to story about what happened to me at CHS last year, giving her a thumbnail sketch of the proverbial 'facts of the case,' but stopping just short of the fact that I was let go at the end of it all.
Her very clear and unhesitating diagnosis of the situation was that a school representative, working with the express permission of a parent, has the right to disclose personal information of a medical nature about said parent's minor child. It seems that HIPA has a clause that allows for the release of information by the subject party or the subject party's legal representative – in this case, a parent – and, in the absence of a clear school policy forbidding such disclosure (which there wasn't), there is absolutely no wrongdoing if said school representative gives information about a student to the school community.
The attorney literally gasped when I told her that I'd been let go as a consequence of the story I told her. She went on to tell me that I absolutely had actionable cause (which I'm not going to pursue) and that this never should have happened.
I said the things that I said that day with the express permission of Sweet Pea's parents (and Sweet Pea concurred when she was well again and I was catching her up on what was going on at CHS). I knew what I was doing was right when I was doing it, but I walked away from the conversation yesterday feeling incredibly vindicated.

Did i not ask this question in the right place or something? no takers?
I have searched all over and dont see this anywhere so I will assume I am just ignorant about something here...
Just to be clear, I am attempting this in my own lab at the office with an access point that I already know the key....
The password to the Access point in my lab is "starwars", WPA-PSK
I cat'ed the dictionary I am using and verified that this term is in the dictionary.
The dictionary I am using is the "/pentest/passwords/wordlists/darkc0de.lst" dictionary
that comes with BT5R1.
On to my question:
I am able to capture the WPA handshake with airodump-ng and I have had no issues with that...
but when I attempt to crack the password using the darkc0de.lst wordlist, Aircrack does not find the password.
When I run the same wordlist and capture file through cowpatty, it finds the key...
On the flipside, I created a test dictionary by "echo starwars > testfile.lst" (verifying the password was in this dictionary and
speeding up my test) and when I ran cowpatty against this file, It did NOT find the password, but aircrack-ng found the password with
not problems..
I have read some things online about aircrack not liking certain formats? When I "cat -A" the darkc0de.lst I see "^M" at the end if many of the
words in the list. Editing the list with VI, (which sees the ^M character) I inserted the password "starwars" ino the file and Aircrack found the key,
When I inserted "starwars^M" into the same file,(similar to many of the other words in the list) It did not find the password.
Question 1: What the heck is ^M? I assume it means line break or something? Googled it to no avail. Looked through several books and found nothing.
Question 2: What would cause Aircrack and cowpatty to behave this way? What can I do to ensure if the password is in the list, Each tool will
find the password? I would prefer to use aircrack-ng because I can export the key to a file (makes scripting easier) and it seems to be MUCH faster at finding the keys than cowpatty, but cowpatty seems to be better at finding the password's with the darkc0de.lst wordlist.
Sorry if I was long winded, Just trying to give as many facts as possible. I am confused. Maybe someone with more smarts can enlighten me
And yes, I did search the forum's and google for a couple of hours before posing this question, If the answer is out there, I simply have not found it.
Thank you in advance for any help with this matter.
Did i not ask this question in the right place or something? no takers?
I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday. ~Abraham Lincoln
^M is the carriage return. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#Common_problems
You mention adding your password to the wordlist and appending ^M to it. It's not actually created by typing ^ followed by M, but rather: Ctrl+v Ctrl+m
Why don't you try creating two small wordlists, one that uses DOS style line breaks, and another that uses UNIX style line breaks and see how they behave with aircrack-ng and cowpatty.
The word-list issues have been dealt with at length in this forum. but for what its worth...
Pyrit. I haven't used Cowpatty or Aircrack (Still GREAT tools) for some time. It's not worth doing without the CUDA support for WPA.

Use oclhashcat-plus for WPA/WPA2 cracking because pyrit + crunch is really slow and it dedicates a CPU core per GPU core on your system. It supports dictionary, brute-force, and rule-based attacks you can read more about it here.

Gallbladder removal - openCholecystectomy - open
Open gallbladder removal is surgery to remove the gallbladder that uses an open surgical cut instead of a scope.
In open gallbladder removal surgery, a surgeon makes a large surgical cut in your belly to open it up and see the area. The surgeon then removes your gallbladder by reaching in through the cut, separating it from other organs, and gently lifting it out.
Surgery is done while you are under general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free).
The surgeon will make a 5- to 7-inch cut in the upper right part of your belly, just below your ribs. The surgeon will cut the bile duct and blood vessels that lead to the gallbladder. Then your gallbladder will be removed.
A special x-ray called a cholangiogram may be done during the surgery. This involves squirting some dye into your common bile duct. The dye helps give the surgeon a roadmap of your gallbladder area. It also helps find other stones that may be outside your gallbladder. If any stones are found, the surgeon may be able to remove them with a special medical instrument.
Open gallbladder removal surgery takes about 1 hour.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Your doctor may recommend gallbladder removal surgery if you have gallstones that bother you or your gallbladder is not working normally (biliary dyskinesia).
You may have some or all of these symptoms:
- Indigestion
- Infection (cholecystitis)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pain after eating, usually in the upper right or upper middle area of your belly (epigastric pain)
The most common way to remove the gallbladder is by using a medical instrument called a laparoscope. See also: Gallbladder removal - laparoscopic
Sometimes it is not possible to remove the gallbladder using a laparoscope. In this case, the surgery will be changed to an open gallbladder removal.
Other reasons for this surgery may be:
- Bleeding problems
- Lung disease
- Obesity
- Pancreatitis
- Pregnancy (third trimester)
- Severe liver problems
- You have had many surgeries in this part of your belly in the past
Talk with your doctor about any of these risks.
The risks of any anesthesia are:
- Blood clots in the legs or lungs
- Breathing problems
- Heart problems
- Pneumonia
- Reactions to drugs you are given
The risks of gallbladder surgery are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Injury to the common bile duct
- Injury to the small or large intestine
- Pancreatitis (inflammation in the pancreas)
Before the Procedure
Your doctor may ask you to have these medical tests done before your surgery:
- Blood tests (complete blood count, electrolytes, liver and kidney tests)
- Chest x-ray or electrocardiogram (EKG), for some patients
- Other x-rays of the gallbladder
- Ultrasound of the gallbladder
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
- If you are or might be pregnant
- What drugs, vitamins, and other supplements you are taking, even ones you bought without a prescription
During the week before your surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), vitamin E, warfarin (Coumadin), and any other drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot.
- Your doctor may ask you to "clean out" your colon or intestines.
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
On the day of the surgery:
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery.
- Take the drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Shower the night before or the morning of your surgery.
Prepare your home for any problems you might have in getting around after the surgery.
After the Procedure
People usually stay in the hospital for 1 to 4 days after open gallbladder removal. During that time:
- You will be asked to breathe into a medical device called an incentive spirometer. This helps keep your lungs working well so that you do not get pneumonia.
- The nurse will help you sit up in bed, hang your legs over the side, and then stand up and start to walk.
- At first you will receive fluids into your vein through an intravenous tube (IV). Soon, though, the doctors and nurses will ask you to start drinking liquids and then eat other foods.
- You will be able to begin showering again while you are still in the hospital.
- You may be asked to wear pressure stockings on your legs to help prevent a blood clot from forming. These stockings help keep your blood circulating well.
If there were problems during your surgery, or if you have bleeding, a lot of pain, or a fever, you may need to stay in the hospital longer.

So, I'm starting to feel a bit OLD on this board! And I should clarify - I dont FEEL old (best shape of my life, happy, active, and look great) but maybe more mature/experienced - I don't know.
I'm a BTDT (been there, done that) momma but this is only LO#2. I work with high school kids and I just have my old/mature/experienced feelings after reading so many posts about what is going on in people's lives.
Own up - what age group do you fall into?
Comments not necessary but welcome. This is not designed to pick on, identify, or outcast anybody. Please do not make this about that. Just seriously curious as to how we break down in age!
So I'll start!
LO#2 for us, I'll be 32 on EDD. 31 right now. :) Had #1 after turning 29.
(I'm also going to add an education after this!)
Please also know that the pole left out the + for 36+ category!!! So please know that is what it should be. Sorry mommas!

Advocates Fight to Save Adult Education in Los Angeles
Mar 15, 2012
By Marcie Foster and Elizabeth Kenefick
Despite an organized effort to persuade the city to preserve adult education funding, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) board on Tuesday approved a preliminary budget that would decimate one of the nation's largest programs serving adult students. All adult schools in the city could be closed and at least 1,800 faculty and staff could lose their jobs if the city fails to find revenue to fill the funding gap before it finalizes the city budget in June.
Word of the drastic proposal to eliminate funding sparked a significant grassroots response to save the program, which plays a vital community role by providing adult education (including English language services). During the previous few weeks, the SaveAdultEd Campaign mobilized thousands of people to voice their support through phone calls, letters, and most recently at a rally during the contentious vote on March 13. Campaign leaders and adult education advocates also participated in a guest blog discussion series, Cut the Excuses Not Education!, hosted by the National Coalition for Literacy leading up to the rally. In spite of these efforts, the board voted to cut funding.(Photos Source: SaveAdultEd)
The proposed adult education funding cut represents a broader trend among states and localities to disinvest in adult education to fill budget shortfalls. Nowhere has this been more evident than in California, where a ruling by the legislature in 2009 gave local school boards increased flexibility to determine program funding allocations in their districts. Subsequently, state funding for adult education services declined by half—from $754 million in 2007-8 to less than $400 million in 2009-10. Other states have slashed state funding, implemented tuition or fees for students to generate revenue, or proposed policy reforms that could threaten program quality.
Exacerbating this trend is flat federal funding for adult education (Title II of the Workforce Investment Act) which, in fact, has declined 17 percent over the last decade after accounting for inflation.
More than 93 million adults need basic skills services, yet current funding levels only serve approximately 2 million. Low-skill, low-income workers have the highest rates of unemployment and have been hardest hit by the recent recession and jobs crisis. Cuts to this already-starved system that provides vulnerable workers with skills they need to access jobs or further education and training are short-sighted and could undermine our nation's recovery. The SaveAdultEd campaign in Los Angeles should serve as a reminder to policymakers across the country that adult education is a valuable investment in our current and future workforce.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Columnist
We're getting a clearer idea this week of where Washington's first charter schools may open, and it's not likely to be Snohomish County.
A dozen school districts from Sequim to Spokane and Tacoma to Port Townsend told the state Board of Education they're want to be able to authorize and oversee these publicly funded, privately managed schools.
Though each must still turn in applications, these 12 districts are signaling a desire to get in on the ground floor of this newest venture in education.
None of them is in Snohomish County where 53 percent of the voters backed Initiative 1240 last November even as it seemed like 100 percent of teachers and school board directors did not.
In the county's larger districts, school leaders are taking a wait-and-see attitude knowing full well they can apply later to become an authorizer. There is concern about time and energy required for overseeing a charter school and the possibility a legal challenge will be filed to delay or derail the law.
"As a board, we discussed charter schools during the election season, and post election, and decided to hold off putting in an application to become an authorizer this year," said Ann McMurray, president of the Edmonds school board. "We'll watch to see the experience of other districts in the state."
Marysville School Board publicly opposed the initiative, and its directors haven't softened their stand in the five months since the election.
Board president Chris Nation said there are innovative schools in the district, such as the Tenth Street Middle School, which offers a music-based curriculum to 180 students in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
"It is not something we pursued or are interested in at this particular time," he said.
Directors of the Everett Public Schools had not discussed the matter before Monday's deadline for getting into the initial round.
"We have not had that conversation. We don't intend to have that conversation in the near future," said board president Jeff Russell, adding it could come up during planning sessions in August.
All three presidents said administrators and teachers are consumed with mandates to deploy evaluation processes for teachers and principals and implementing new standards in English and math known as Common Core.
"These have a huge and immediate impact on our school community," McMurray said.
But, Nation said, if somebody did launch a charter school in the district "we would wholeheartedly support them."
The nine people who could make that happen are on the state Charter School Commission, which meets for the first time today in Olympia.
These are political appointees — three each from the governor, speaker of the House and Senate president — who embrace charter schools and are empowered to authorize them anywhere in the state.
The commission will be competing for business with the school districts as the law only allows up to eight schools a year and a maximum of 40 over five years.
Even if school districts in Snohomish County aren't rushing to ride the first wave, commissioners might be so inclined if the right charter comes its way.

Works well out of the box in BT4. Not detected by Network Manager though, so I'm just using the terminal to connect it to my network.
Here's how I'm doing it (numbers with stars prefixing is for WPA/WPA2 only):
*1. Create a conf file in /etc called wpa_supplicant.conf
*2. Put the following in the conf file (making adjustments as necessary):
3. Bring the interface up - 'ifconfig wlan0 up'Code:# ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 network={ ssid="YOUR SSID GOES HERE" psk="YOUR WPA PASSWORD GOES HERE" priority=5 } #
4. Scan for open access points (ensures the card is functioning) - 'iwlist wlan0 scan'
5. Associate with AP - 'iwconfig wlan0 essid myssid' (replace myssid with your AP)
6. Set the password for the AP (if there is one)
If you have no encryption: Skip this step.
If you have WEP encryption: 'iwconfig wlan0 key mykey' (replace mykey with your WEP key in hex)
If you have WPA encryption: 'wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B'
7. Obtain an IP address: 'dhclient'
You should be done. Network Manager won't recognize the connection but everything else seems to work fine.

SU Gives Its Ideas For New Stadium
Syracuse, N.Y.- Syracuse University has reportedly responded to the mayor of Syracuse on what the university would like to see if out of the Carrier Dome's replacement.
The 44,000 seat sports arena with a retractable roof was put on the back burner earlier this month following questions raised by Syracuse mayor Stephanie Miner.
Some of the key points in SU's stadium concept as outlined in an article published by the Syracuse Times-Union include
- A $495 million cost for a 44,000 seat arena with retractable roof. The amount does not include parking or land acquisition.
- Additional development of a 250-room hotel, over 160 apartments and 150,000 feet of retail space
- No plan for use of the current Carrier Dome or its site
- The university would be a tenant, not an owner
- Four years for construction of the stadium
- A public-private financing plan with investment from the state, Onondaga County and the private sector, including SU.
- Annual capital improvements estimated at $1.5 million. The cost of that and the annual operating expenses would be funded directly by stadium revenue
- The favored site is the former Kennedy Square public housing property.
- The facility's operating budget would pay for the extra police, fire and other public services needed
In Thursday night's state of the city address Mayor Miner announced that in the coming days she would be forming a task force to begin looking deeper into the building of a new athletics facility.

Yolanda Adams' NAACP Awards Tribute to Whitney Houston
Taking a respite from honoring the past year's top African-American entertainers, the 43rd NAACP Image Awards followed suit with previous awards shows in holding a tribute for recently departed icon Whitney Houston during Friday night's (February 17) ceremony.
With the annual event taking place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, Gospel great Yolanda Adams took the stage alongside a gospel choir while celebrating the life of the "I Will Always Love You" singer.
Previously speaking with press about learning of Miss Houston's tragic death, Miss Adams recalled, "My initial reaction when I heard she passed was, 'Can't be'."
Receiving the saddening news from Whitney's long-time music director, Yolanda then told, "He said, 'she's gone,' and although I had heard it on the news, there was finality to hear it from someone who loved her like I do."
"She was someone I could say was a friend, was really genuinely a child of God, really genuinely a good person who loved life. We really are losing a light. Despite all the dark stuff people will say, we're losing an angel because she really was. I think what happens with people is they want to be loved," Adams added.
Enjoy the pictures of Yolanda Adams at the 43rd NAACP Awards (February 17).

For the gnome version ensure that the settings for the guest operating system "Other 64-bit" are. Also provide at least 512 memory but abit more is better.
Normally it should work now. But if you keep having difficulties with the installer you can always use VirtualBox instead the gnome version installs on VB without any difficulties.
And now the problem child KDE 64-bit.
ensure that the settings for the guest operating system are "Other 64-bit".
I took 776 memory, (I had been trying for to long to keep a little bit of extra memory to be sure stand in my way)
For the processors change virtualization engine from 'Automatic' to 'Intel VT-x or AMD-V' and put 'Disable acceleration for binary translation' on. After the installation you can put both back on default.
Normally it should work now. Don't forget to apply the startx-fix (I had to remove only the 2 files in cache-root before install and after I had remove the once in cache-bt also)
For the installation in Virtualbox I used 'Other Linux' as operating system.
At the System menu:
- on the Motherboard tab put 'Enable IO APIC' on and make sure you got at least 512 Memory (think default is 320 or so)
- on the Processor tab put 'Enable PAE/NX' on
- and on the Acceleration tab make sure both options are on
These settings worked fine for me, now only have to find out how to install the guest-additions. Keep get an error because the installer can't find the sources of my current Linux kernel.
Hope some of you can finaly enjoy BT-5 KDE 64
Found the how-to on how to prepare kernel sources so guest-additions work now

Cantu Leads White To Red/White Scrimmage Victory
Related Links
On Saturday afternoon, at the team's annual Red/White Scrimmage which traditionally wraps up spring ball, Aaron made a strong case that he is the answer.
At the same time that Sorensen was being announced as the University's first NFL draft pick (at No. 221 by the San Diego Chargers) Cantu was leading his White team to a 33-10 win over the Red squad. Cantu completed 13-of-16 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns, didn't throw and interception and was sacked just once.
His first pass was a short hook-up over the middle to tight end Chandler Allphin, who took it the rest of the way for a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of the scrimmage. He went on to hook up with Naia Ursua and Fatu Moala on TD passes, finding them both in the end zone on 34- and 8-yard hook-ups, respectively.
"I just got in a rhythm real early, the first play of the game, the touchdown pass just got us going," Cantu Cantu – who threw for an NJCAA-high 3,358 yards and 32 touchdowns at East Los Angeles College last year – said. "I felt comfortable after that, coach was calling the right plays and it was just a matter of getting the ball to the open guy.
"The receivers got leverage on the corners and on the linebackers, they made it easy for me to get them the football, it was a good time and we got the win," he added.
Cantu "sees the field really well, and … in his first spring here he's getting to know the offense," SUU Coach Ed Lamb said. "I thought he took a big step forward today. We saw a little bit of the competitiveness that allowed him to thrive so much at the junior college level. He didn't lead the country in passing without having some ability and I think we saw some of that today."
Heading into the scrimmage there was still question as to who might take the starting job into the summer, and Lamb confirmed it is Cantu's job, at least for now.
"We've been feeling very positive about Aaron, throughout the last couple of weeks of spring ball, and I thought that, as a passer, he had separated himself somewhat in his play in the last few practices," the coach said. "We still did feel like there may be a role for some other guys at the quarterback position on our team, and I think that it's important that Aaron have a good summer and a really good fall training camp to hold on to the job, but he did a tremendous job today and I think it would be an understatement to say that he's got a leg up on the rest."
The White team also got a 44-yard field goal from Brock Miller and linebacker Matt Holley capped the scoring with a 65-yard interception return for a touchdown, with Moala showing some versatility by kicking the extra point.
The Red team struggled to establish momentum but when it got on the scoreboard it did so in a big way as Christian Taele broke loose around the left end and scampered 66 yards into the end zone for a touchdown. Colton Cook accounted for Red's other score with a 27-yard field goal.
Jake Allie got the starting nod for the Red squad and he and Mitch Dahlen combined to complete 13-of-28 passes for 156 yards but they were picked off three times, by Holley, J.T. Anderson and Griff McNabb. McNabb was one of a good number of players who played both ways on Saturday.
In analyzing the game, Lamb said he liked what he saw on both sides of the ball, and outside of the big plays that the defense looked good.
"The big plays, the 75-yard reception by Allphin, the 60-something run by Taele, those big plays maybe skew the yardage but overall I think the defense played really solid," he pointed out.
"Both sides of the ball were hurt a little bit today by playing some linemen both ways," he added, noting that several linemen on both teams played both offense and defense. "There were several players who had never played on the other side of the ball at the collegiate level going both ways today.
Safety Miles Killebrew, playing for the White team, led all players with eight tackles, including a game-high six solo stops, while three, the White's Chad Hansen and the Red's Tommy Collet Jr. and Zak Browning each had six tackles. Hansen and Browning each notched sacks, as did Josh Talbot and Anthony Norris, a tight end and the White team captain, who was going both ways.

In August 2013, the EU Joint Transfer Pricing Forum released its preliminary annual statistics on the number of advance pricing agreements (APA) and pending mutual agreement procedures (MAP) under the EU Arbitration Convention for 2012. The APA figures provide an interesting insight into possibilities for taxpayers to request unilateral or bilateral APAs in the different EU Member States. In addition, the statistics on MAP cases attempt for the first time, to shed light on the reason why MAP cases are still ongoing more than two years after their initiation.
These statistics coincide with the OECD's 2012 annual statistics on the MAP caseloads of its member countries and Partner economies.

Sports medicine is not just for professional athletes anymore, nor is it just for men. From after-work league players, to dedicated joggers, to beginning exercisers, sports medicine has reached out to address the needs of all kinds of active women by adding programs aimed specifically at women.
Women's sports medicine centers exist to meet the particular needs of active women. Active women have concerns that differ from men, such as anterior cruciate ligament injuries, stress fractures, eating disorders, and menstrual cycle problems.
Sports medicine centers for women deliver care to athletes as well as women who want to be more active, but might not know where to start.
Many women prefer and perceive that they get better care in medical centers devoted to their specific medical needs. A survey on Women's Satisfaction With Primary Care released found that women want medical clinics that offer things like child care, increased privacy, more time during appointments to discuss their concerns, and medical providers who were informed about women's health research and resources.
In response to this need, centers offer rehabilitation and diagnostic services, nutritional counseling, orthopedic surgery, exercise consultation, and more. A woman who comes to a center may consult a team of physicians and therapists who work together to design a treatment protocol or exercise program just for her.
The health satisfaction survey found that the number one reason women change medical providers is communication problems: they feel their doctor is not listening to them. Women-oriented medical programs seek to overcome that by offering patients a staff that is not only mostly female, but female athletes who can understand and may even have personally experienced the problems the patient is experiencing.
If you are an athlete or thinking of becoming more physically fit, you may want to locate a sports medicine center for women in your area.

Just installed this driver in BT4 for the AWUS050NH, as the hex id was already in the list, no modification was needed, just downloaded the driver, compiled and installed it.
Worked perfectly after that:
Good work apocolipse269, as this adapter will no doubt be very popular within the community, you made a lot of people happy.
I couldn't get it compiled on Intrepid 2.6.27, but I don't have the output right here. I'll try a few more things and get back to you. But a big thanks.
EDIT: Tried to compile again on Intrepid, no errors. The first time, I don't believe I ran a "make clean" on it, so that might have been the problem. In any case, great work. (Sorry for the big pics, I'll use thumbnails next time, lol).

Thread: The Lawyer
The Lawyer
One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the road -side eating grass.
Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."
"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.
Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us, also."
The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"
"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.
Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high".
