Lies, Myths and Downright Stupidity : ABC's John Stossel smears John Edwards and trial lawyers
On the July 23 edition of ABC's 20/20, co-anchor John Stossel -- who narrates a recurring segment on the show titled "Lies, Myths and Downright Stupidity" -- was guilty of all three during his false and misleading commentary [1] about presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee Senator John Edwards and trial lawyers.
In a line representative of the entire commentary, Stossel charged:
John Edwards has said he loved being a trial lawyer because he was able to help the little guy, but lawyers hurt the little guys, too. Every product you buy has a built-in cost to cover what lawyers make through lawsuits.
Another way of looking at this, of course, is that lawyers wouldn't make money through product liability lawsuits if corporations stopped making products that injure people. But Stossel is entitled to his opinion; what he isn't entitled to do is distort the facts to make his case. It didn't take long for him to do so:
The Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] found doctors order painful tests they consider unnecessary, for fear of being sued. And the majority of doctors say they recommended invasive procedures more often than they believed were medically necessary in an effort to prevent potential litigation.
Stossel is apparently referring to a 2003 HHS paper [2]. A quick look at that paper, however, reveals that HHS didn't "find" anything about doctors ordering tests; it merely cited a privately funded poll that did.
That Harris poll [3] interviewed 300 physicians online, as well as 100 nurses and 100 hospital administrators via telephone, and was commissioned by Common Good [4], an organization formed "to overhaul America's lawsuit culture" because "[f]ear of litigation has undermined our freedom to make sensible decisions. ... Doctors, teachers, ministers, even little league coaches, find their daily decisions hampered by legal fear. Our system of justice, long America's greatest pride, is now considered a tool for extortion, not balance."
In short, far from citing an official government study, as Stossel claimed he was doing, he was actually citing a private poll paid for by an organization with a political agenda.
This type of dishonest reporting is nothing new for Stossel; ABC was forced to correct a report in which Stossel lied [5] about what tests were performed as part of a segment on organic foods. In an effort to debunk the benefits of organic food, Stossel claimed, "Our test, surprisingly, found no pesticide residue on the conventional samples or the organic." It shouldn't have been surprising that no pesticide residue was found: as ABC later confirmed, no tests for pesticides were performed.
Stossel concluded [6] his anti-Edwards commentary as follows:
"Maybe all of Edward's cases were good ones, where C-sections were called for. It's possible that's true, but the fearful atmosphere that these kinds of lawsuits create has far-reaching consequences. Consider the minister who will no longer hug a grieving parishioner because of lawsuit concerns or the teachers who are told not to touch their students, or allow them to climb onto their lap for fear of lawsuit. ... Employers can't tell the truth about their former employees, as the truth might have legal consequences. This threatens our safety, too. It's one reason a nurse who was killing patients kept getting jobs at new hospitals. ... This kind of fear doesn't make Americans safer. Give me a break."
Stossel's "commentary" by this point had degenerated into vague, anecdotal, and perhaps apocryphal claims that because of Edwards, ministers won't hug parishioners and homicidal nurses run amok throughout the land.

"Not afraid to soar." This phrase became the words I lived by every day during my study abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I liken the person I was before study abroad to a tiny just-hatched bird. SUA was my comfortable nest, and freshman and sophomore year cradled me in all of its Soka wonders. But, behold, mama junior year flew in and kicked me out of the nest to send me out into the world. It was too early for me and I knew I was not ready. But, once you start falling out of that comfort zone, you only have two options: to continue falling and land [painfully] or to spread your wings and hope something would happen. Life, then, became a matter of learning to live or don't.
The hot Florida summer turned to rainy winter in a heart beat and my two-month summer break of untouched Spanish left me estranged in a city where people spoke a different dialect of Spanish, Castellano. When I arrived at the Buenos Aires airport, the Butler program welcomed me with open arms... and then put me in a taxi by myself en route to my host family's house. The drizzling rain left a shroud of mystery over the city as we drove through it. The only thing I clearly remember seeing were the cars next to us, literally close enough that if I were to reach out, I could touch the driver in the other car. I thought I wouldn't live through the ride.
The first few weeks alone were so mentally and physically intense; I didn't know how to get through the 5-month program. Did you know that speaking and trying to understand a different language is very exhausting? I didn't. So combining that with the water heater in the building I lived in breaking down my first week, shopping for anything becoming a communication ordeal (you need to know how to say what you want in order to buy it), and getting around the city in cold weather that I was not accustomed to being another challenge; needless to say, the intensity got me sick in bed for a few days.
During those days in bed while scribbling away in my blog, I realized that I was looking at my study abroad situation negatively. The thought that I was studying in one of the most intense study abroad programs SUA had to offer plagued my mind and I knew that I needed to get rid of that thought and just enjoy what Buenos Aires and even Argentina itself had to offer. I was in Buenos Aires for the Butler program on my own self-proclaimed mission: to study in the film track that the program offered, in a city renowned as the cultural epicenter among its people. I wasn't going to let setbacks take that away from me. They were only in the way of creating my own life-changing experience.
With this newfound determination and rekindling of my purpose, I explored the city every day until classes started. I slowly recognized the nuances in each of the barrios (neighborhoods) I regularly visited. Boca was known for tango and El Caminito; Palermo was the largest barrio and had all the well-known clubs; San Telmo was the barrio of antiques and was where my film school was located; Mataderos had one of the largest ferias (a flea market) that I've known; Belgrano had some of the best food in the city and was where Chinatown resided; Barrio Norte had some of the most obscure shops I'd ever seen; Tigre was where the Rio de Plata flowed; and Recoleta, the ritzy, middle-high class barrio, was where I was living.
And once classes started, I was able to meet and befriend Argentines who had the same interest as I did: filmmaking. Although the film school was concentrated on film theory, I was able to produce a short montage film with the help of my friends. Outside of the production, there were many, many readings. Some classes had the same amount of readings as SUA (40-60 pages per night) and other classes required to finish a book every week. It was probably one of the most academically brutal experiences I've ever encountered in my life. I spent long hours, many times all-nighters just to finish my homework and even during finals week for my orals in these university courses, I only slept about 10-12 hours that entire week.
In the end, it was all worth it. I learned so much from these classes and the city itself. My love for the city continued to grow. On weekends I would go out to dinner with my friends, both within my program and from the film school, or meet up with my fellow SUA comrades who studied in a different program. After school, I would sit in cafes for hours at a time and have mate (herbal tea) with friends. The city continued to expand and every day there was something new to experience: new food to taste, new museums to go to, new streets to walk along. Everything. It became clear: when you open up to the world, the world will open up for you.
I've done things I could never imagine: eat stewed cow intestines and blood sausage, hike up a foothill of the Andes in Bariloche, see waterfalls, step on Uruguayan land, see vineyards in Mendoza, see snow for the first time and hike up snow a meter deep the second time, see Tommy Lee Jones at a film festival. But I think the most surprising thing that I could not imagine seeing until it happened was being able live in a new environment for almost half a year, overcoming each challenge, and completing my study abroad in Buenos Aires with no regrets. Words truly cannot express all the things I've encountered in Argentina, the ups and downs, the struggles and victories.
Studying abroad itself is inexplicable in words. It knows your weaknesses and it won't hesitate to hit you where it hurts the most. You feel like you're out there fighting out in the world, so far away from home and SUA, and yet the battle is almost too close to home... Because you're battling yourself, testing who you are.
I remember looking out my room window on my last hour in Buenos Aires, thinking, Wow there's definitely a difference between the time I first arrived to Buenos Aires and today. The rain welcomed me when I stepped off the plane in Buenos Aires. It was damp and foggy, and my first view of the city was all a blur in the misty street side of Buenos Aires. The sun refused to show itself for the first few weeks and the wind was cold and ceaseless. On the last day, the sun was up and it definitely brought things into a newer, much clearer light; the city was all the more warmer and livelier.

Honorable Mention
The winner of a competition to create a single-family prototype home for Syracuse, N.Y., R-House, designed by Brooklyn, N.Y.–based Della Valle Bernheimer and New York–based Architecture Research Office, reflects the scale and character of the existing housing stock in the city's Near Westside neighborhood. But in terms of efficiency, the 1,100-square-foot home outshines its peers: R-House uses 71 percent less energy than an average home in Syracuse.
Built to Passivhaus standards, R-House has a well-insulated envelope, high-performance windows, and an air-circulation system for heating and ventilation. The silver-toned corrugated-aluminum cladding will stand out during snowy winters. The jurors appreciated that this project—at a cost of about $180 per square foot—demonstrates that 21st-century design belongs to lower-income residents, too. "We need to see more architects design work for American families," juror Ted Landsmark said.

Edo Popken
1880 1st Generation — At the age of 25, Johann Popken acquires a city building in a prime location, and opens his first apparel store in Hameln, Germany. He earns his reputation for having a unique interior design, the best price-quality ratio in town, as well as for his innovative marketing campaigns and outstanding customer service. Johann dies at the young age of 50, and in 1905 his wife Elisabeth Popken takes over the store. At an age of 19 their first son Conrad inherits the store and overtakes operations as his mother ages. Conrad dies at the age of 29 serving his country in France during World War I, resulting in the continuation of his mother running the store.

The name Popken is used in Hameln until 1983 representing the leading most innovative fashion store in the city. The building housing the original store is still owned by the Popken family.
1968 3rd Generation — Married to Ursula Popken, Friedrich Popken opens his first children apparel store in Oldenburg, Germany. The upscale children apparel market is suffering due to discounters being able to work with lower costs and margins. Friedrich Popken therefore decides to change his business strategy and specialize in maternity wear. Furthering his concept, he opens more stores, starts mail order and a franchising branch. Just before the birth rate is falling and business weakens, he applies a new growth strategy called Ulla Popken: Young Fashion for Plus-Sized Women. Today it is number one in its segment Europe-wide with over 300 outlets.
1998 4th Generation — Edo Popken becomes a worldwide registered trademark. In 2001 Edo Popken creates his first upscale men apparel collection.

Project DescriptionSanta Monica, Calif.–based Koning Eizenberg Architecture converted three industrial buildings into the new headquarters for the Children's Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to treating and preventing child abuse. The campus includes counseling services and a community center that offers a variety of art and after-school programs. The project prioritized community engagement.
Jury: "The spatial zone between the north portion of the project for families and preschool, and the southern portion dedicated to the community center, therapy, and education programs, is well considered, serving to open the building to natural light and interactive activities."
Client: "People come in and it blows their mind that there is something that is this wonderful in the community. But while Koning Eizenberg made the space beautiful, they did not make it super fancy. So it never feels like going into a really fancy house where you can't sit on the furniture. It's clearly made to be used. It's beautiful, but also approachable." —Nina Revoyr, executive vice president, Children's Institute

All students in the University of California system are held to standards of conduct described in University of California Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations. and Students (Revised 8/15/94) .
In addition, students in the UCSF School of Dentistry are held to high standards of professionalism, recognizing the special responsibilities inherent in patient care and clinical activities.
Professional Responsibilities, Ethical Principles, and Unacceptable Student Conduct
This statement of professional responsibilities and ethical principles was written by and for the students in the School of Dentistry, UCSF. Its intent is to promote the highest standards of scholarship and patient care. The statements of ethical principles express student consensus about basic precepts of behavior as scholars, as care providers, as members of an educational community, and as members of the University and the dental profession. The examples of unacceptable behavior, while not comprehensive or all-inclusive, express student consensus about minimal standards of behavior and give fair notice to all that departures from these minimal standards may incur disciplinary proceedings.
Ethical Principles. As scholars, the students' role is one of pride, determination, and integrity. In the classroom, we are responsible and respectful, encouraging learning by all. We understand that failure to prepare in a thorough, timely manner reduces the potential of our educational experience. We believe that the student who cheats loses more than potential; that student also cheats the public, creates publicity detrimental to the stature of UCSF, and invites future malpractice suits. For these reasons, we, as scholars, will not tolerate educational dishonesty. We place the value of our education paramount.
Types of Unacceptable Behavior
- Misrepresenting the work of others as your own, such as cheating, plagiarism, or failure to credit the contributions made by others;
- Repeated inexcusable absences from classes or clinical activities;
- Repeated failure to adhere to assignment or examination schedules;
- Loud or disruptive entrances when tardy.
Professional Responsibilities to Patients
Ethical Principles. As health care providers, the students' primary obligation of service to patients includes delivery of competent, timely, and supervised care within the bounds of clinical circumstances presented by the patients and the dental school. Our conduct regarding scheduling, quality and sequence of treatment, faculty signatures, finances, and control of infectious diseases will follow the policies of the School of Dentistry, the principles of ethics and code of conduct of the American Dental Association, and the Dental Practice Act of the State of California. We recognize our own limitations and seek the advice of those whose knowledge and experience exceed our own. In doing so, we not only improve the quality of care for our patients, but also expand our own knowledge. We understand that our education does not end with graduation but continues throughout our professional lives. The quality of care for our patients is our primary concern.
Types of Unacceptable Behavior
- Misuse of any documents related to student academic progress or to patient care, such as failure to verify adequate supervision by obtaining proper signatures, failure to maintain confidentiality of patient records, removal of dental records from the clinic facilities, or failure to promptly return records to central record storage areas;
- Refusal to comply with clinic protocol regarding patient appointment or financial arrangements;
- Failure to comply with policies for controlling infectious diseases;
- Failure to obtain adequate faculty supervision for all phases of patient care;
- Refusal to treat any assigned patient because of race, color, creed, gender, national origin, sexual preference, economic status, or handicap;
- Failure to make arrangements for emergency care of assigned patients and to act as the primary source of emergency care during clinic sessions, except when excused by conflicting classes such as rotations or off-campus clinical assignments;
- Failure to seek assistance when the welfare of the patient would be safeguarded or advanced by others with special skills, knowledge, or experience;
- Failure to report to the appropriate agency instances of gross and continual faulty treatment by other practitioners or students and to exercise care that such criticism is justified.
The University
Ethical Principles. As members of the educational community, we understand and support the goals of our peers, of the faculty, and of the staff to participate fully in the learning experience. We share our failures and successes for the gain of all in the spirit of collegiality. We listen to the opinions of others with respect. We strive to reach the highest levels of scholarly and technical excellence, and we willingly assist others in similar efforts. In sum, as students, we treat all members of the University community as we ourselves would like to be treated.
Types of Unacceptable Behavior
- Failure to recognize the authority of members of the faculty or of University officials, such as campus security officers;
- Failure to present proof of current registration (identity card) upon request by University officials when using University facilities, equipment, or resources;
- Use of patient care areas and their fixtures without faculty supervision;
- Failure to turn in any found property to the appropriate Lost and Found Office.
University and Professional Communities
Ethical Principles. As members of the University and the dental profession, we understand that our words and actions in daily life may be attributed to all members of the University and the professional communities. We therefore conduct ourselves to maintain the esteem of the University of California and the dental profession.
Types of Unacceptable Behavior
- Indiscriminate use of obscene language or gestures in the University's facilities;
- Failure to maintain a superior standard of personal hygiene and of cleanliness and neatness of one's self and one's surroundings whenever contact with patients is likely, such as failing to comply with policies regarding clinic attire or failing to thoroughly clean up one's clinical cubicle after each use;
- Keeping a University fee paid by a patient for any dental service or procedure;
- Requesting or encouraging in any manner gifts from patients;
- Misuse of UCSF affiliation, such as attributing personal opinions to the School or the University;
- Misrepresenting professional status, such as using unearned professional titles while still a student.
- Unethical behavior when taking any licensing examination.

Jason Newsted explains Metallica exit
Listen to Metallica on iHeartRadio
Thirteen years down the road, Jason Newsted is finally explaining why he left Metallica.
In a new interview with ScuzzTV, the bassist says there was a lot leading up to his exit, but the straw that broke the camel's back was a side project he was working on called Echobrain.
Newsted explains that Metallica's management was initially behind the band, and they felt he could be a part of it without affecting Metallica. But Metallica frontman James Hetfield apparently didn't feel the same way. Newsted claims Hetfield "pretty much put out the kibosh on the whole thing" because he didn't want the band's management working on something that he wasn't a part of.
But whatever the reason, Newsted says management went from being excited about the project to wanting nothing to do with it in a couple of days.
Newsted says Hetfield eventually confronted him about the Echobrain project and made it clear that he wasn't happy about it. The frontman also told him that "other arrangements could be made," and Newsted says that was the exact moment he decided to leave the band.

Bill Walton takes a pause to draw a breath, then reveals he has a working title for an autobiography he's in the midst of trying to finish up for an October publishing deadline.
For now, it's going to be called "Back from the Dead."
It works on many levels. Too many, in fact.
The Grateful Dead devotee has admitted to have contemplated suicide during the times some five years ago when he was lying on the floor of his San Diego home in excruciating pain, a place he now calls "the edge of the abyss," facing problems compounded from many failed fusion surgeries done on his spine. This is a man who had gone through 36 orthopedic surgeries at various times on his 6-foot-11 frame.
But once he was given a reprieve from a local surgeon and enough time to be grateful that he still had a life worth living, the 60-year-old Walton was allowed to consider something he'd never thought he'd do again.
He's resurrected a career in broadcasting, a job he said as recently as April, 2010 that he was finished with.
Last Friday, Walton called it a "surreal experience" stepping back into Pauley Pavilion for the first time since he attended John Wooden's memorial service in June 2010. Walton had returned for the first time in years as a college basketball analyst for ESPN, calling UCLA's overtime victory over Missouri with play-by-play man Dave Flemming.
Walton will make the drive up again tonight to sit next to Ted Robinson in his special-made 24 -inch supportive chair and do Saturday's noon tip of the UCLA-Stanford game on the Pac-12 Network. Next week, it's up to Berkeley for the Washington-Cal game on ESPN with Dave Pasch.
From there, the Walton Comeback Tour shall spread itself across the Pacific Coast. Tie-dye shirts optional.
Walton is back because ESPN president John Skipper and Pac-12 Conference commissioner Larry Scott hatched a plan more than a year ago to share in having his return to the college TV spotlight.
"My whole life has been about the dream of being part of something special," Walton said Thursday. "It's been the chance of being part of a special team. I had that at UCLA, with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Boston Celtics. And I was on some fantastic broadcasting teams. That all fell apart when my spine failed in 2007."
UC San Diego surgeon Dr. Steven Garfin had a new approach to fixing Walton's issues - complete with titanium rods, bolts and a cage to keep it held together during an 8 -hour surgery performed in February 2009.
Walton pulled himself together and with his wife Lori began traveling again - "staying in motion" as he says - as he tried to figure out how to start all over again.
Last December, ESPN's Skipper was in San Diego for the Holiday Bowl when he met with Scott, who had been developing a multi-platform plan to launch the Pac-12 Network and was looking for a way to form a better partnership with ESPN and Fox on game coverage and talent.
Through Walton's mutual friend, former Oregon athletic director Pat Kilkenny, they all met near Walton's home to discuss what it might take to get him back into TV.
"John had told me he had been talking to Bill about coming back to work for him," Scott said Thursday, en route to the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona, referring to the fact that Walton had been doing NBA games at ESPN before he couldn't travel any longer because of his back issues.
"With us starting this new network from scratch and thinking of all the personalities we could use to get a fresh perspective, I think a light went off for both us - what if we both could use Bill on our games? It's unusual for networks to share talent, but I think we found a win-win situation, giving him enough games to keep it interesting, keeping him on the West Coast and, for us, bringing such an iconic figure of our conference back to reconnect.
"You can't have a conversation with Bill without being blown away by his enthusiasm, passion, energy and knowledge - it's infectious. He just gets you pumped up, and he's been so inspirational to be around."
Added Walton: "I may look stupid, but I know a beautiful thing when I see it. I'd have never considering coming back with what Larry or John said. Their lives epitomize what I want to be part of. Without them, this wouldn't have happened.
"They believe in everything I believed in - sports, education, business, technology, all in the same package. They know the future of the sports business, and it all goes back to the college game, where people are getting started and chasing their dreams, learning to overcome the fear of the unknown. Learning to overcome the errors of the unknown.
"That's another thing we learn in college - how to reinvent yourself. That's the story of my life."
It reminded Walton of the time in the early 1990s when the old Prime Ticket executive producer Don Corsini saw potential in him as a TV analyst. Walton was assigned to a Pepperdine-DePaul contest at Firestone Fieldhouse in Malibu, working with play-by-play man Larry Burnett, and "feeling terrified" because he didn't know if he could overcome a stuttering problem that had plagued him going beyond his days at UCLA.
While Walton might not remember many specifics of that first assignment, Burnett does. It was also his first play-by-play gig for the network after coming over from ESPN.
"Bill showed up to the game and he had this big bag in his hand - not a briefcase," Burnett said. "He said, `I don't know much about makeup, but Charlie Jones (the late NBC sportscaster) told me to get all this stuff, but I have no idea what to do with it.' So we went into the men's room, and there I am giving him make-up tips in front of the mirror with all these guys at the urinal looking at us and thinking: `That's Bill Walton putting on makeup?'
"I told him that the first thing he had to learn was either put the stuff on before he came to the game, or get there really early so other people aren't looking at you weird."
Burnett said he didn't recall Walton being anxious over his speech impediment, but he did remember that it was the only game the two ever did together.
"I wonder if that was an indication of how well we did," Burnett said with a laugh.
Watching Walton cycle back into the business of broadcasting might not be all that different to what he had to do in learning how to ride his favorite bike again.
"My biggest problem with my bike is not getting to ride it enough," Walton said. "With all my particular health issues, it requires me to always keep moving, so being on a bike is perfect for me. My bike is my freedom to move. It's the most important thing I have in the world."
That, and his new, healthy outlook on life.
Back from the almost dead.

text: Last night at a recording studio, Chris Brown and Frank Ocean got into a fight allegedly over a parking space. Chris punched Frank and then ran away before the police came. Frank stayed and talked to the police because he is a man and is not afraid to talk to the police. I think Chris is just upset because Frank has come out to the world and everyone still loves him and he can be who he wants to be. Chris is probably jealous of that so beats up people. It also could be that Chris has a tiny member and is frustrated about that and knows that if he didn't have a lot of money and fame that he probably would never get to disrespect women as much as he does. The police probably won't do anything, but it does show you that Chris is still an a-hole and that violence is his first answer for everything.

"Forty years ago, the Supreme Court lit a spark that grew into a flame and the fire spread," said Wagner.
Few people now read it even in translation—and it has been abandoned to the many lovers of Wagner and a few students of German.
In his essays and articles, Wagner was vitriolic against Jews, but so were many other European figures of the era.
This fun clip gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a recording session for assorted Wagner arias.
Contacted by phone, Detective Wagner refused to comment on those proceedings or anything involving the Gibson case.
Wagner at fifteen was a poet, and the energetic, suggestive music of Beethoven was mentally transformed into living personalities.
They give the pianolist a bird's-eye-view of music and its development from Bach to Wagner.
It is full of Wagner's most inspired writing and most marvellous orchestration; but it is too long and too diffuse.
The second Wagner course relates to the "Ring of the Nibelung."
But Wagner had the patience of Job, as well as his capacity for suffering.

Sandy • Real Salt Lake couldn't crack an undermanned Phoenix FC squad, delivering a late attacking blitz on a backup goalkeeper but failing to find a goal in a 0-0 draw with the USL Pro squad Monday night at Rio Tinto Stadium.
The match was played nine versus 10 for an entire 45 minutes after a melee during stoppage at the end of the first half resulted in three red cards. RSL lost center back Kwame Watson-Siriboe, while Phoenix FC saw goalkeeper Andrew Weber and defender Renan Boufleur sent off.
Here's how it happened: RSL's Chris Wingert said a Phoenix player was holding his jersey in a scrum in front of the RSL goal as they awaited a free kick.
"He's grabbing me, grabbing me, so I push him off and he went down like he got punched in the face, which clearly didn't happen," Wingert said. "So then I'm telling him to get up, he's making a meal of it. Then a melee ensues."
Salt Lake midfielder Sebastian Velasquez, who was setting up to take the free kick said "at one point I saw they were holding each other's necks, and obviously they're going to get a red card for that kind of behavior."
Weber, the Phoenix goalie, took to Twitter to defend himself after the match.
"I hope they watch the tapes to tonight's game so they can see that I did not throw a punch and was trying to break it up," he tweeted at USL Pro officials.
In another tweet, Weber said, an RSL player was "choking out out team mate (sic) and all I did was grab his hand and remove it from our team mates (sic) throat."
Down a man for an entire half, Phoenix bunkered in defensively against RSL.
Some of RSL's best chances came from distance. In the 67th minute, defender Carlos Salcedo drilled a shot from outside the box that sailed just over the crossbar. And in the 79th minute, midfielder Khari Stephenson launched a laser on frame only to see it knocked away by the diving goalie.
"We just didn't come out with the energy that this kind of game needed," assistant coach Jeff Cassar said afterward. "Because [Phoenix] wanted it. Those guys on the field all want our players' positions and jobs and they played a little bit more hungry than we did."
Depth on display
RSL started a strong lineup for a reserve match. Six of the players in Monday's starting eleven have started for the first team at one point or another this year. Wingert, who has yet to play with the first team this year as he comes back from injury, captained the squad.
Test grade: Incomplete
Real Salt Lake management said it would look at Monday night's revenue numbers as it gauged the viability of creating its own USL Pro team, possibly in Utah. A crowd of more than 8,200 showed up to the game. But RSL management will be looking at total revenue - the amount spent on tickets, concessions and merchandise - not just people in the seats.
RSL family ties
Phoenix FC's starting lineup featured a pair of RSL connections.
Weber, the goalie, trained with Salt Lake for a week this preseason in Casa Grande, Ariz. And defender Donny Toia was the first player to ever sign a homegrown contract with Real Salt Lake. He was on the roster for the 2011 season, but never logged a game with the first team.

High Jump Results | Live Results
EUGENE, Ore. - Junior high jumper Maalik Reynolds finished sixth at the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships on Friday at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. With that effort, Reynolds will earn his fourth career All-America honor for the University of Pennsylvania.
Against some of the top competition in the country and the world, Reynolds matched two Olympic medalists jump-for-jump for most of the afternoon. Penn's school record holder finished at 2.20 meters (7 feet, 2 1/2 inches) and matched his career-best NCAA finish (he also placed sixth at the 2012 outdoor championships).
Reynolds passed at the first height and then cleared each of the first two bars (2.10 and 2.15 meters) on his first attempt. Only 16 of the 24 competitors remained when the bar was moved to 2.20 meters.
Reynolds once again cleared on his first attempt and was one of just four jumpers - including 2012 Olympic silver medalist Erik Kynard and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Derek Drouin, to remain without a miss through that height.
With 12 jumpers remaining, only five cleared the next height at 2.24 meters (7-04.25 ft.). Reynolds nudged the bar off on his third attempt, but with his perfect slate up to that point, he held the tiebreaker over the rest of the field and earned sixth-place at the outdoor NCAA meet for the second straight year.
Reynolds will likely earn first-team All-America accolades for the fourth time in his career when the USTFCCCA makes the official announcement early next week. A four-time heptagonal champion and six-time All-Ivy honoree in addition to an indoor IC4A and Penn Relays champion, Reynolds has earned outdoor All-America honors in each of his first two seasons as a member of the Red and Blue. As a freshman in 2011, the Atlanta, Ga., native became the first Penn men's outdoor All-American since Courtney Jaworski earned the honor in the 800 meters in 2005.
There is still one more Quaker left to compete at the NCAA Championships. Freshman Thomas Awad competes in the finals of the 5,000 meters on Saturday at 6:23 p.m. EST.ESPNU is scheduled to televise Awad's race.

Among the great events of last week was the entrance, the performance and the exit of French's Oriental Circus. The performance was good, rather better than the usual run. It is a positive fact, however, that circuses, unlike everything' else in our country, do not make any progress ; in fact, they are not as good as they were thirty years ago, though we have to admit the influence of age upon our tastes. Oh, what a pleasure-destroying, life-chilling thing is old age ! How it robs us of our sweet dreams, of fairy forms, delightful groves fragrant flowers, pure fountains .and sweet singing birds, and peoples our visions with hideous monsters, dark caverns, black foaming torrents, bleak and desolate deserts and unearthly sounds! Put the best phase you can on old age, and it is unlovely. We fully realized this fact as we sat, solemn and silent, where all were convulsed with laughter. We had a full view of that sea of human faces, which had gathered under that pavillion last Wednesday evening; and listened to that merry laugh which burst from a thousand joyful hearts at the stale witticisms of the clown, which would at one time have electrified us in the same way, but under which we now could sit as sullen and demure as a supperless owl. When we were quite young, such things as circuses mid caravans were not known in that wilderness country, Ohio. If there had been, very few of the boys in those days would have been able to raise a quarter to get into the pit. We first gathered our ideas of such things from our neighbor, Captain Jonas Ward who had in his early days lived in Boston. The Captain was our neighborhood shoemaker, and many a long winter evening have we sat listening with eager curiosity to the marvelous things he had seen in Boston, while he was putting a new sole on our cowhide shoes. Oh, how we longed to be big, so that we could go where they had circuses, theatres and caravans. We have now been big a great, while, and have seen all those things, and like the preacher, we are ready to cry, "Vanity 1'.' Age is the only thing that will make a man cry "Vanity?" Youth cannot see it. We were probably the first boys in our neighborhood to visit a caravan or circus. If we had any enterprise when we were young, it lay in that direction. Probably we were, to some extent, indebted to the tales of our neighbor for this enterprise.—The first circus we ever visited, we went to Painesville. twenty miles-, -on-foot, to see.—We had- but twenty-five cents, just the fee in those days to get in; but we had a brother- in-law in the vicinity upon whom we could forage. Upon our return, we, like our neighbor, the captain, had marvel? lous stories to tell tc tho boys in the neighborhood, who, with gaping mouths and dilated visual organs, listened to our rghearsal of the sharp jokes the clown had got oft* at his master's ex pense. But it was our first visit to a caravan that has made the most lasting impression upon our mind, ' It was late in the month of November, 1826, that news reached our neighborhood that there was to be a caravan in Burton, the principal village in that section, situated nine miles from our house, and containing about one hundred inhabitants, and looked upon as a large place by us. Our mind was,, of course, made up to be there on that occasion, without taking into consideration the difficulties, whiqh we have since learned, await us whenever we attempt any great enterprise. In those days,'in that section of the country, boys could not have bnt one pair of shoes a year, and for two resons they could not get them until late in the fall.—The first was, the tanners could not get the leather out, and the second was, the shoemakers were always behind. Therefore, when the day of exhibition came, we had no shoes. But that was no particular-drawback to" us, for our feet had got scaled over and nearly as hard as a hoof. They would stand anv kind of cold but snow, and they could thaw that some. The day was extremely cold, and threatened snow; but we were bound to see the lion, and made up our minds to brave the difficulty. But when we got ready to start, another difficulty met us, which nearly wrecked bur hopes. We had two and sixpence in money left out of three shillings, which we had got for our share of a bearskin, which another boy and ourself had kUled. We had spent six cents on general training day for gingerbread, which we divided among our poor playmates. We took the two and sixpense and rolled a piece Of pa-, per round it, and stuek it in a cradk in the old log house—the only place of deposit we had—and when -we got ready to start we had forgotten whete we put it. Well, you, can imagine that there was some foaming about that shanty. But it was of no avail; the change could not be found. ~ After a fruitless search until almost noon,, our father, seeing our distracted condition, loaned us a shilling, and we broKe for the show, and we never stopped the run until we reached Burton square ; but; tcuour dismay the caravan had not arrived there, and it was doubtful whether it would, h*i "consequence of a breaK down a few miles out of town. The snow was beginning to fall thick and fast. We started for home once or twice, but could not .give up the idea of seeing the lion. At last, just at darx, the show came in. They did not have large tents those days. They usually got under a shed, and hung up canvas in front. It seemed to us that they would never get the thing ready. But, finally, just at darx the fiddle and triangle struck up, the show was ready, and the ground was getting white. We handed our shilling to the doorkeeper and passed in. There was a lion, a buffalo, a pony and three or four monkeys.—We have no recollection whether we indulged in any romantio. refiections concerning the wonders of nature, or not. We recollect distinctly that when we emerged from the shed it was dark, and the ground covered with snow. We took a survey of our situation and let on steam, and we never broke the jump until we reached home. But before we reached there, however, the snow was two inches deep. The next day, all along the road there was great excitement among the old hunters about the tracks of a strange animal which could be seen coming all along the road from towards Burton, and, of course it was soon rumored that the lion had broke loose and had been tracked to within a mile of our house, where, fortunately for us, it was blotted out by a drove of cattle. The general opinion was that it was a bear, though some declared that the animal made a track larger than a bear's—it must be an elephant. There was great consternation in the neighs borhood. We were consulted as it regards the shape of a lion's foot. We gave it as our opinion that it was not a lion. The man who followed the track through Bridge Creek Woods,(where we were serenaded by a pack of wolves who broke out within a few rods from us,)said no bear ever made such leaps as this animal made for about a mile through the woods. It would be tedious to tell the strange stories that circulated around the country concerning the tracks of the- strange animal that had made its appearance in our very midst. Hunters who had never quailed before the. panther, bear or wolf^ entered the forest with a suspicious look for a long time after the discovery of the misterious tracks. Exaggeration ran wild through the sparsely settled country. A short titne after the occurrence we went to mill about three miles from home. While there we overheard* some men talking about the mysterious tracks. One man said he had seen a man who- had seen the track. He said the track was over three feet long, and that the animal jumped over eighty feet- to a jump, all through Bridge Creek Woods. We took a look at our feet and slipped into the mill. This story has remained a family secret ever since, but we never heard the last of going to see the lion, at home. We wonld say in conclusion, that the two and sixpense was found about two years after that by a younger sister, in a crack, as above stated. Notwithstanding all our mishaps, our ardor for seeing circuses and caravans was not in the least diminished. ' But age is doing what neither hardships nor privations could do when we were young, and we can sifrTinmoved amid scenes that would once have moved us to tears, or caused us to shout with joy. The brilliant but antiquated jokes of a clown can no longer provoxe us to laughter ; nor the tales of unrequited love make us weep. Yes; old age is ringing " Vanity !" into our ears ; but, thank Providence, it is mostly confined to circuses yet.—Racine Journal. WOWDEREFL HAIR REPRODUCER.

Following the printed directions given, we made a lather and applied the brush. The lather was mixed in a glass dish, and in four minutes a beautiful hair, all shades of color, had started from the dish. We applied some to our face, and it took four swift-working barbers to out down and mow away as fast as the beard grew.

The composing room of a printing office is about as productive of various questions, and elicits as much curiosity from visitors as any place of business we know of. First thing a visitor does is to step up to a case where fingers are at work, and watch every motion with ■perfect steadfastness ; looks into the compOwtor's face to see where his eyes are ; the process looks mysterious, and questions follow about like this : " How do you know where to find the letters ? Are they arranged in order ? How do you know when they are right side up ? What is the reason that there is more type in some boxes than -the others ? I should think you 'd . make mistakes ; you ought to have the boxes marked. Don't you get the wrong letters sometimes?'' Looking around, he spies in a corner a lot of " something" that calls forth, " what are these ? " Compositor—'-' Quads. Visitor—" What's quads ?" Compositor explains. Next finds the forms from which another person is distributing. Visitor—" Tearing 'em down, hey 1" Compositor-1-" Yes." - " Can.you do that faster than you oan set it ? What makes you wet the type? (looking at the form.) why, .it's all upside down. Is that the way it always is? You can't read it, can you.?" Next goes round the press and finds the roller, puts his fingers on it, and gets them dyed a shade or two darker than their original color. " What's this roller made of—India rubber ?" Compositor:—" No, of glue and molasses." Visitor-—" Of molasses ? I should think-it; would melt! " Compositor—It will when it gets warm enough." Hisieyes next fall upqn the paper wet down ready for press. Visitor—" Why, this paper is all wet. Do you have to do that ? " Compositor—" Yes." "•What for?" Compositor explains and wishes he would dry up. He looks around and finds a form of advertisements laid aside. He runs his finger oyer the column, and knocks a square of it into confusion. tor looks cross, and says knocked that into pi." Visitor whistles and goes compositor isn't looking. Shortly before the departure of the lamented Heber for India, he preached a sermon which contained this beautir ful illustration: " life bears us on like the stream of a mighty river. Our boat at first glides down the narrow channel—through the playful murmurings of a little brook, and the windings of its grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads, the flowers seem to offer themselves to the young hands; we are happy in hope, ahd grasp eagerly at the beauty around us. But the stream hurries on, and still our hands are empty. Our course in youth and manhood is along a deeper and wider flood, among objects most striking and magnificent. We are animated at the moving pictures and enjoyment and industry around lis. We are excited at some short living disappointment. The stream bears us on, and our joys and our .griefs are alike left behind us. We may he shipwrecked, but we cannot be delayed, whether ' rough of smooth. The river hastens on, till the roar of the ocean is in our ears, and the tossing of the waves is beneath our foet, and the floods are lifted up around us, and we take our leave of earth and its inhabitants until of our voyage there is no witness save the infinite and the eternal."

EDIT: I hesitated to post this, but after deleting 3 more threads in the last few days, I believe that it is in the best interest of those wishing to post tutorials and guides to have some sort of guide on making a guide.
As a community we encourage all of our members to post guides and how-to's on using tools in BT. We also encourage member generated scripts, programs or applications, that deal with Penetration Testing. A few tips or tricks will make your post stand out above the crowd or otherwise be taken seriously.
First proper grammar is important. We understand that not everyone is an authority on spelling and grammar, or that English is not your first language. But the more you attempt to clarify what you are posting the better others can understand it.
As such please use a spell check program before making your post. These are available with most modern text editors. They are also included in most (if not all) web browsers.
Spend time reading what you have written before you post it. A better idea is to find someone to help you proof read it. There is nothing gained from being in a hurry to make a tutorial. It might even be better if you save a draft somewhere and then come back after a period of time and look at it again. Not only does it give you the chance to clear your mind, you might even find a better way of presenting something.
Use of a standard font and text size also goes a long way. Using several different fonts or sizes will generally only anger the reader. Use of extravagant color schemes is also a sure fire way to have people not read your work. Using bold text or underlined text will indeed improve the look and help your tutorial stand out. Moderation is the key to using these features.
Use of pictures and or videos should go without saying a long way, in helping the reader to understand what you are presenting. There are several methods of going about this. A simple way to make a picture in BT is to use Ksnapshot, located in the menu tree of Back Track. There are several other methods as well. The same applies to videos, there are several free Open Source and commercial screen capture programs on the internet. I will leave it to the reader to decide which to use.Code:Use code tags is not only a good idea for code, but commands or information a user may need to type in a terminal. The code tag can be done by highlighting the appropriate text and using the # symbol or [ code ] sample code here [ / code] Of course without the spaces between the brackets and the word code.
Another thing to bear in mind is that your audience may know very little about penetration testing, or BT.
While we hope that before anyone blindly follows a tutorial they learn what is actually taking place or what a tool or command is doing, many do not. As such the amount of information you include in your guide is important.
You may also be called upon by someone who follows your guide to provide help. If you are unwilling or unable to do this it may be best to either think twice about posting it or stating this in your post.
The last two things to keep in mind is that by posting your material here on this forum you are in essence agreeing to have it read, criticized, and scrutinized by members of the community. As such one should not take these critiques personally. They should be seen as a means of improvement. We are all humans and will make mistakes or may make a simple task complicated, this is a part of learning and growing. So learn and grow from it, if someone shows you those mistakes.
On the other side of the coin however, there is no real need to belittle the efforts of someone, who at least tried to contribute.
With that said, get to making those tutorials and guides.

NY Times columnist Safire's claims on Mary Cheney did not match Times reports
William Safire asserted as fact in his October 18 New York Times op-ed column [1] that Senator John Kerry's reference to Mary Cheney, Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter, as a lesbian during the final presidential debate was orchestrated by "members of Kerry's debate preparation team." Safire provided no evidence to support this claim, and in the same edition of the paper, reporter Adam Nagourney provided contradictory evidence:
Mr. Kerry's aides said the remark was neither the result of political calculation nor meant unkindly, insisted that it had been a spontaneous response to a question and noted that Mr. Cheney himself had brought the subject up earlier this year.
Mr. Kerry's aides said his comment was not part of a big political plan, and two officials who attended debate preparations said they had not heard the subject of Ms. Cheney come up.
Two days earlier, Times reporter Jodi Wilgoren had written about [2] a similar denial from the Kerry-Edwards '04 campaign, which addressed both Kerry's October 13 mention of Cheney and Senator John Edwards's mention of her during the October 5 vice presidential debate:
Mr. Kerry's aides said they had not discussed the merits of mentioning Ms. Cheney in preparing him for questions about same-sex marriage, and denied that having both men on their ticket raise her sexuality in the debate was intended either to unsettle the opposition or alienate the Republicans' conservative base.
"There was no goal and there was no strategy beyond, I think, complimenting the Cheneys for being good parents," said Joe Lockhart, a senior Kerry spokesman who was involved in debate preparations. "There were dozens and dozens of hours about how to discuss Social Security, Iraq and other issues. There was no discussion of this."
Knight Ridder Newspapers' Jim Puzzanghera also reported [3] on October 15 that "[a] senior Kerry adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity because the campaign didn't want to fan publicity on this topic" said that Kerry's mention of Mary Cheney "was not a prepared riff."
Safire went on to claim that before Edwards mentioned Mary Cheney's sexual orientation in the vice presidential debate, "only political junkies knew" that she was gay. When Dick Cheney spoke of his "gay daughter" earlier in the year, Safire wrote, "the press - respecting family privacy - had properly not made it a big deal. The percentage of voters aware of Mary Cheney's sexual orientation was tiny." But a Media Matters for America search of the Nexis "All News" database for mentions of Cheney's "gay daughter" ("Cheney" within 20 words of "gay daughter") prior to the October 5 vice presidential debate returned 432 results. As Washington Post media reporter Howard Kurtz wrote in his October 15 "Media Notes" column [4], the fact that Mary Cheney is a lesbian "was hardly a state secret."

Joe Jonas and Blanda Eggenschwiler Split
Listen to Jonas Brothers Radio on iHeartRadio
It looks like Joe Jonas is a single man again. Joe and his graphic designer/model girlfriend Blanda Eggenschwiler are reportedly going their separate ways.
A rep for Jonas tells Us Weekly, "Joe and Blanda have mutually decided to part ways." The rep also says, "The split was amicable and the two remain friends, with great respect for one another."
Joe and Blanda were together for 20 months and started dating in November 2012 after they met through a mutual friend.
