When Nursing Homes Can — And Can't — Evict Patients
If you're in a nursing home, federal law says you can only be evicted for a few reasons — if you can't pay the bill, if you're well enough to go home, if you're endangering the safety of others, that sort of thing.
But some state officials say nursing homes have been turning out patients who are too costly, too inconvenient or whose Medicaid coverage doesn't pay as much as private insurance, the WSJ reports.
Complaints about nursing-home discharges doubled over a decade, to 8,500 nationally in 2006, the article says. In DC, officials contest about one in seven evictions as improper.
A recent review of admission agreements at Missouri nursing homes found that one in five granted the homes the right to evict residents without cause, and almost half authorized eviction for reasons not permitted under federal law, such as being "unduly noisy" or "uncooperative and unmanageable."
Industry officials say evictions are uncommon, and often occur when a facility can't provide the proper treatment for a patient.
The story cites the case of a man with dementia, congestive heart failure, a colostomy bag, and an amputation below the knee on one leg. His nursing home wouldn't take him back after a trip to the hospital.
"There's probably a facility somewhere that can provide [the patient] with the treatment and the care that he needs," the nursing home's executive director told a state officer involved in the case. "It's not this one."

Reliability is an issue.
The EVF on my lightly used Sony A7R died early during a trip to Rome in December, making it useless for the duration. I just got it back from the Authorized Sony Repair Service and paid $543.
The minimum charge is $376. The added cost was parts.
The camera was not dropped or damaged, ever. It just quit at a bad time. I bought this was a great sensor and light weight. I prefer my Canon FF, more lenses, etc., but on travel weight matters (I'm old and arthritic).
I used my NEX 7 afterward.. I missed not having the full frame 36 mp for some things.
EVF problems with the 7 Series appear to be fairly common. The classic is that it dies in the EVF mode, rather than the back live view. You can't get back to the rear screen view. There are some reset approaches that work for a few temporarily.
Sony should have replaced this even out of warranty. It's a known issue. Otherwise, nice camera.

Cruise-in meets for a cause
Tough economic times are taking a toll on area non-profit organizations like the Healing Hands Health Center.
The Bristol, Tennessee clinic depends on donations to serve the community's working, uninsured, and under-insured residents with their medical and dental needs.
Healing Hands has given more than 6,000 people free health care.
If you want to come out and support their cause, the clinic would like to see a big crowd at the upcoming Antique Auto Club's weekly Cruise-In held every Friday night from 6 to 8 p.m. in the parking lot of Tri-Summit Bank on State Street in Bristol.
The club will donate all proceeds from this week's Cruise-In to Healing Hands.

The X Factor's Demi Lovato Still Thinks The Wrong Girl Went Home
By Jessica Rawden 4 years ago comments
Last nights elimination episode of The X Factor featured a lot of twists and turns. Ultimately, two acts went home, but it was the latter of the two that was all the more shocking. After Lyric 145 was sent home at the beginning of the episode for having the lowest vote count, it was time for a sing-off, and Demi Lovato was forced into the troubling position of having to send one of two of her acts home.
If youve been watching the show, you would think CeCe would have been in the bottom two this week. However, pity votes or a renewed interest in the recent bombshell blonde propelled her to the number 5 slot this week, leaving Jennel Garcia and Paige Thomas in the bottom two. After both girls sang, Britney and L.A. opted to send Jennelclearly not at her best last nighthome. Simon briefly abstained, forcing Demi to make a choice. Clearly, Jennel was going home, and it would have been smarter to let the wounded puppy go rather than insult the contestant Lovato is going to have to continue to work with. But no, Demi chose to send Paige home, leaving Simon to knock Jennel out of the competition. It was awkward, and Im sure its going to be more awkward when Demi has to work with Paige this week.
Heres the thing, though. Making things awkward isnt the worst thing a judge can do to a contestant. Openly lambasting a contestant still in the competition is literally the worst thing a judge can do, and this is exactly the trap Lovato fell into in an interview with People following the show.
"I genuinely think that Jennel is just more talented. I think that Paige has a more star quality to her--which is going to help her as an advantage. I think that Jennel definitely didn't deserve to go home, and I couldn't let her go home tonight."
Wow, its almost like she doesnt even want her contestant to win. If Paige is looking out for herself, she will start sticking to her guns and making decisions on her own in the competition. Silly red glitter lips or no, she clearly didnt deserve to be on the bottom last night, and with an apathetic mentor, she needs to be even more aware of what she needs to bring to the table to win. Its a shame, because Paige is the best Lovatos got, and was so even before Jennel went home.

Jewels Jade
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
Jewels Jade is a both a pornstar and a bodybuilder. She's been working in the adult industry since 2001 and she's appeared on a number of sites since making her debut. If you want to check out some of them, you should probably start with the one that's all about her.
The JewelsJade website uses its homepage to preview upcoming scenes and give you links to its latest offerings. There's also a message at the top of the page that encourages readers to comment on the content. It seems that Jewels would like to have the very best fitness and muscle website on the Internet and she'd love to know what she could do to get her site to where she wants it to be.
Getting around her site is really quite simple, with separate video and photo sections. Counting the content is easy as well, because there are only 33 videos and 34 sets of pictures at this point. Those numbers aren't amazing, but they are improving, as Jewels updates every seven days. She posts a movie one week and then adds a set of pictures the week after that.
There might not be many flicks, but the ones that are available are diverse enough to keep things interesting. I watched a few and got to see some great sights. I saw Jewels showing off her muscles, shooting a gun, masturbating, fooling around with another brawny beauty, giving blowjobs, fucking and even taking part in threesomes.
The vids can be streamed in an embedded Flash player, but only some of them can be downloaded. Those that can tend to be offered as average-quality MP4s and good-quality Windows Media files. Given that you're mostly stuck watching the movies online, it's great that the streams look good. It's also nice that you can jump to specific points in a scene whenever you want.
The galleries bring you lots of shots that show Jewels posing in various states of undress. You also get pics of her masturbating, giving blowjobs and having sex. The images are high-res and gorgeous. You get quite a lot with each set. Unfortunately, this makes them a bit hard to save to your computer, because you can't download them in Zip files.
It seems that Jewels does free cam shows for her members. She also gives them access to a bonus site called Aziani Iron and it's populated by a whole lot of women who are just as stunning as Jewels. The babes found there also have some pretty impressive muscles. You can check them out while waiting to get more vids and pics.
As detailed above, there are definitely some things that could be improved on the Jewels Jade website. If you're a fan of the site's star, I think you'll find that the pros outweigh the cons and getting a membership is worthwhile.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Leftovers: Suspect defense not helping shaky HillerApril 7th, 2014, 12:05 am by ERIC STEPHENS
EDMONTON, Alberta – Thoughts, musings and ruminations from the Ducks' 4-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday at Rexall Place ...
-- The goaltending has come into question for the Ducks in the final week before the Stanley Cup playoffs and Jonas Hiller's struggles (as well as Frederik Andersen's head injury) is drawing a lot of the focus.
But the team's work in its own end has been suspect as well. Cam Fowler's absence for the last 11 games is appearing to take effect as usual pairings have been thrown off.
Having a lot of defensemen is a benefit but it also means Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau has been swapping defenders like Sami Vatanen and Luca Sbisa in and out of the lineup while giving Francois Beauchemin, Bryan Allen and Hampus Lindholm a game off.
"We got to tighten up things defensively a little bit," Stephane Robidas said afterward. "We're giving up four goals again. It's tough to win hockey games when you have to score four or five goals a night.Read the rest of this entry »

�What I didn't know was Randy California was one of the founding members along with his step father, Ed Cassidy.� California met and played with Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14 years old while living in New York. He was asked to go to London as part of The Experience by Hendrix but his parents thought he should finish high school. His real name was Randy Wolfe but Jimi Hendrix called him Randy California to distinguish him from the other band member Randy Texas.� Randy California died at 45 years of age attempting to safe his son from a rip tide in Hawaii in 1997.� He was able to get his son to safety but he was unable to save himself.

This Holiday Season, Swear an Oath to Surge and Protect
This is my favourite time of year!
Holiday lights, picturesque snow, and gatherings of friends and family. But all these wonderful distractions make it easy to forget about what keeps everything running.
Electricity powers all of the festive lights we enjoy, powers the heaters that warm us up, and keeps us entertained by powering the electronics and home theatre gear occupying our holiday guests. This season is a great time to start thinking about energy conservation and protection for all the gadgets that we can't live without.
I for one can't imagine not having my television or video games available for my nephews to give me a breather from all their energy. Here are a couple product categories that will help prevent any catastrophes with your electronics this holiday season and into the future.
Surge protectors employ quick blow fuses, which will help to protect the equipment connected to them from power surges like lightning strikes. The amount of energy a surge suppressor can protect your equipment from is measured in Joules and typically the higher the Joules rating the better. Higher end models also come with additional features such as line filters which help regulate the "noise" or unwanted voltage fluctuations coming from your wall outlet.
A newer feature that has started to become popular with surge protectors is energy conservation features. Some examples are the Monster GreenPower and Rocketfish Energy Saver Surge Protectors.
These work by having a master outlet that is monitored by the surge protector, and when the power to that plug drops a significant amount (such as when shutting off your computer or TV), the other outlets controlled by that master are also shut off to prevent the hidden power draw that most of our devices still use. Of course there are still "always-on" ports for your mission critical devices like your Personal Video Recorder.
A surge protector is a great line of defense for your electronics but to ensure you don't damage the sensitive electronics running that 65-inch display or media streaming computer, you need time to allow them to shut down correctly. During a blackout the only way to get those precious minutes is to use an uninterruptible power supply or UPS.
These can be thought of as a large battery with a surge protector attached. The battery is constantly charging from the wall outlet and is ready to spring into action in the event of a power outage. Many units offer line filtering as well as surge protection built in.
UPS units are rated using a Volt-Ampere or VA rating and some units also rate the maximum wattage rating. Again, the higher the number the better, or the longer the UPS will power your equipment before it runs out of power.
For computer specific UPS models, look for a USB port and included software to automatically initiate the shutdown of your computer in the event of a power outage, even if you're not home.
These products will help prevent any power related problems with your electronic gadgets. And even if you don't implement them today, take some time to evaluate your setup at home to ensure everything is protected.
Remember to always follow this safety tip regardless of what you are using: don't plug in more than one power bar into an outlet or piggy back multiple power bars together as you might overload your breaker and possibly create a fire hazard.
Have a happy holidays and may all your electronics have the power to keep your family at bay!

I'm really happy with Gina. She finished with today's final ride of the year at 3,697 miles. Her goal was 3,000 but she she smashed it by 697 miles!
Mine is not over yet. I have this week off. 31 miles short of 5,000 but I'll easily get it by Wednesday. Not bad, my goal was 4,000 like the last couple of years. I smashed that by 1,000. Mainly trying to keep up with a friend on bikejournal who really unleashed a pretty mean arse whippin' on me as far as total.
On a sidenote, is there an ACTIVE Clyde club within bikejournaldotcom? The club I belong to now has fizzled down to inactivity and inconsistency. I need something to motivate me!

Is a plonker,in my view. He's backed himself into a corner from which there is only three possible exits.
1] He backs down & turns a blind eye for Assange to depart in the dead of night to & from the airport.
2] He persuades the Swedes to give a cast iron guarantee that they will not under any circumstances,allow Assange to be extradited to the US……..
3] The girls he slept with, drop their accusations.
As all of these possibilities are very unlikely,we have a stalemate,one man against another,Assange against Hague……who will crack first, not Assange that's for sure.
I know little about Ecuador, but it occurs to me that if this were fiction,they would bring Assange out under armed guard making threats to the police not to move or else !
The diplomatic car would then drive safely to the airport,straight onto the tarmac & up to the planes gangway again allowing safe boarding under armed escort.
If by any chance this unlikely scenario should materialise,would Hague then order traffic control to close the airport…rather than lose face, ?
We await the statement from Assange in half an hour.

The name says "Subscribe / Connect / Follow". But exactly what does this thing do?
If I click on the "reddit" icon, for example, .... I suppose that it does none of "Subscribe / Connect / Follow", but instead it *shares* the relevant blog post onto reddit. Is that right?
WordPress.com has a "Follow this Blog" widget, which allows people to enter their email addy and get notified when any new post is made.
Does this widget do that?
Maybe, in the description of this widget, you could explain in more detail some of scenarios where it would be used. And specifically address the "Follow" question - is it like the WordPress.com feature or not?

Ready? Race.
Flashback Friday: The report from my first mountain bike race last year, The Ridgeline Rampage in Castle Rock, CO – part of the Rocky Mountain Endurance Race Series…
It's that time again. Another installment of what Race Rookie doesn't know about racing. (In other words, WARNING, an unnecessarily long-winded recap). This time it came as a bit of a surprise since I was at least on familiar turf with my trusty 5 inches of travel and miles of dirt underneath. I prepped by reading a friend's race report and understood the need to get out front early before we hit the singletrack. However, I was not aware the race coordinators had added an extra challenge by strategically placing obstacles at all of the most inconvenient places on the trail (men who can't climb, men who can't corner, men who can't descend, men in white lycra, and some dude with a shark helmet). But I'm jumping ahead…
T minus 5 minutes and counting and I line up for the race, where? Yes, near the back. My nonexistant strategy already kicking in. In the 10 feet of pavement and dirt road we have until the singletrack (okay, maybe a tiny but more) I realize my mistake and try to get up front but I've only managed to pass half the field when we hit the turn. Instantly I realize the horrible joke the race directors pulled by starting us a couple minutes behind the Sport Men's field. Don't get me wrong, I'll be the first to enter something I'm probably not qualified for, but I do so assuming I won't be hindering anyone else's performance. So I don't blame the first guy we come upon who tips over on the very first switchback. Nor do I blame the massive traffic jam of guys who jumped off their bikes and walked up nearly every 10 foot mound of dirt instead of standing and hammering. Hell, I don't even blame the guys who putted down the only ripping descent in front of me at 10 mph (on the second lap I was finally free to do 27mph).
You're starting to get the idea, right? Major congestion and a lot of frustrated females. NOT GOOD! So we're trying to make our way around them and I can hear the girls ahead of me yelling at these guys to "get out of the way," "we're trying to go fast, this is a race." NOT COOL. Silly me tries to make up for their bitching by being uber polite. "Excuse me, but when you have a minute, I'd like to pass, but there's no rush." Yes, I seriously said this. What the hell wrong with me?
After passing the guy with the shark helmet and a couple girls who didn't realize that kitty litter corners meant low tire pressure, sticky rubber and you'll be good, I naively tried to catch up to the smart girls who had hit the singletrack first. It was no use by this point as they were long gone. Not one to give up, I went from riding the first half hour of the race at 150 bpm (Zone 2 heart rate for me) to doing the remainder hour and a half at an average of 182 bpm (I think that's Zone 100-times-above-threshold).
On the back half of the course there's an awesome snaking singletrack atop the ridge that's another fun place to fly at 30 mph. That is, unless you've reached the Dude in the White Lycra on a Mountain Bike obstacle. So this guy's spinning along at 1500 rpm in his granny gear on this sweet little descent while the whole rest of the field starts to pile up behind. I'm trying to let him know we're passing because apparently I am the only one on course trying to respect the open space and not go off the trail to get around. No response after multiple attempts and I realize he's got earbuds in. So I pull up next to him when the trail widens a bit and tell him a bunch of people are trying to pass, take your headphones out. He tells me "Race your own race." Then he swerves into the lady behind me who also tried to pass him. Her tire rides on my back wheel for what seemed like forever until she finally went down, taking him out with her. I hear them yelling, about to trade blows, and look back to see a bunch of people standing there with them so I ride off. (I apologized to her after the race for not stopping but she said she was glad I kept riding, she was okay).
Lap 1 down! By now the temp has reached 1098 degrees and I know there is no hope of getting a respectable time, but I keep plugging along, motivated by the thought of the snowcone truck in the parking lot at the finish. The 2nd lap is smooth sailing and I can finally ride at full speed so I push as hard as I can, but my legs are questioning my mental status. I tell them to shut up, there's a snowcone waiting for us.
I crossed the line at 2:06, hot, tired, and disappointed. Then angry because the damn snowcone truck had left already. Next time, I'm packing one in my camelback.
If you want a glimpse of my stupidity (and a guy with a shark helmet), here's a quick and dirty (really, my lens was caked in dust) video:
Actually, it is kind of long and really crappy quality, so feel free to fast forward.
Results: 5th in age group, 10th of 24 Sport XC Women
Lessons Learned: 1) It cannot be overstated: BE FIRST OFF THE LINE! I was fully capable of meeting my goal of a sub-2hr finish but it was impossible in my position at the back of the traffic jam.
2) Polite passers don't win. I realized, not quickly enough, that you just tell people you're passing and do it, rather than wait until they let you.
3) Respecting the trail won't get you first place. I find this unfortunate, because I could see the abuse the open space was taking just from our race, but I really don't think anyone but me tried to stay on the trail while passing. Thus, I didn't win.
4) Don't park a damn snowcone truck at the finish tempting racers and then leave before we're all done. That's just plain rude.

THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, May 27, 2011 -
Members of the Florida Retirement System will begin paying into their pension plans and face less generous payouts under a measure signed into law Thursday by Gov. Rick Scott.
The bill (SB 2100) will require employees to contribute 3 percent of their salaries to help fund their retirement accounts, which have been paid for entirely by the state for nearly three decades. Further, the law raises the retirement age for employees hired after July 1 and eliminates cost of living increases for service performed after that date; cuts in benefits that union representatives say will be remembered by voters at the polls in 2012.
Tucked in among a flurry of bills signed into law Thursday, including the state $69 billion spending plan, the bill became a lightning rod for unions and teachers, many of whom have not received raises in several years.
"The reforms in this bill begin to bring the public sector retirement system in line with the benefits of workers in the private sector," Scott wrote in a letter accompanying the signed bill. "More importantly, however, this action will restructure cost drivers of the system in a manner that builds greater confidence that FRS will meet its future financial obligations without new taxpayer contributions."
Backers of the measure say the changes are necessary to curb future costs by more than $1 billion a year by eliminating cost of living increases for some future work and requiring elected officials and senior managers hired after July 1 to enroll in 401(k) type benefit plans.
The original bill called on all new hires to be enrolled in these so-called defined benefit plans. The requirement fell largely by the wayside under pressure from trade unions and teachers who flocked to the Capitol to protest the shift.
The final version was less dramatic, but still redefines employment for retirement purposes and limits the amount of overtime used to calculate retirement benefits. The law retains the popular DROP early retirement program but reduces the accrual rate of benefits.
For rank and file employees, the bill raises the retirement age from 62 to 65 or 33 years of service. The retirement age for law enforcement and other high risk employees increases from 55 to 60 (or 57 years of age with 30 years of service.)
Though it came as little surprise, Scott's action drew fire from teachers and unions that argued unsuccessfully that public employees should not be called on to fill a budget deficit when many haven't received raises in years.
"They extracted more than $1 billion out of public employees to balance the budget," said Doug Martin, spokesman for AFSCME Local 79, which represents public sector employees.
Coming atop cuts in education funding and other austerity measures included in the $69 billion spending plan approved by Scott Thursday, Martin predicted the statewide union's 800,000 members would return the favor when they go to the polls in 2012.
"(Scott) calls this a 'jobs budget. That's an almost Orwellian statement," Martin said. "A lot of people will lose their jobs because of this.

Memorable things they said
"It was like being buried alive, really removed from the world."
BBC correspondent Alan Johnston, released last week by Palestinian militants, on being held captive for 16 weeks. He told reporters that other than being in solitary confinement he was rarely mistreated by his captors.
"It doesn't matter how big and strong you are. Over a period of time, the game wins."
Former college and NFL star running back Tony Dorsett on former power running back Earl Campbell, who was honored last week by the Heisman Winners Association. The 52-year-old Campbell's legs are in such bad shape now that he has to use a walker.
The price paid at a London auction last week for a love letter that Napoleon wrote to his lover Josephine before their marriage. A bidding war upped the price to more than five times the letter's estimated value of $100,000. The auction also fetched $411,000 for a manuscript written by Isaac Newton.
"I guess he thought I was an easy mark."
Bill Barnes, 72, of Walker, Mich., on a thief who tried to steal $300 from his front pocket while he was inside a gas station. Barnes, a former Marine and Golden Gloves boxer, landed several punches and stopped the thief before a store manager intervened and called police.

INDIO — Woodstock was never like this.
This weekend's 11th annual Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival offers a sunbaked extravaganza of music at a palm tree-lined event that is a model of pinpoint planning, well-oiled execution and state-of-the-art technology.
For a post-MTV generation of hipsters and music geeks that downloads most of its songs and lives in a nearly all-digital world of constant information overload, this three-day festival of alternative-rock, electronica and hip-hop provides a welcome opportunity to come together with like-minded young music fans whose lives are inextricably connected to the Internet. And like the muddy, rain-drenched Woodstock audience 41 years ago, many at Coachella crave a greater sense of community and real-time experience.
"I think when people go to festivals now, like Coachella or Glastonbury (in England), they are looking for spiritual escape," said Matt Lamkin, 26, whose San Diego-bred band The Soft Pack performs today in Coachella's enormous Mojave Tent.


text: The following review contains no spoilers. If you plan on seeing the movie Inception, you better show up with your brain fully engaged. This movie makes the plot of the Matrix look like an ABC after school special. Before you go, make peace with the idea that you're going to have a hard time figuring out what's happening. And when you leave the theater, you'll have a hard time remembering the things you didn't understand while you were watching them. In other words, this movie plays like a dream. Which makes sense, because the whole movie is about dreaming, and most of it takes place inside the dreams of the people in the story. The main character is Cobb, and a major conflict in the story is that his deceased wife keeps showing up in his dreams. She plays a kind of trickster role, spoiling things and making a general nuisance of herself. Anyone who understands dreams has no problem anticipating at least one part of this movie's plot. Cobb has some unresolved issues. The dream theory behind Inception is very Jungian. According to C.G. Jung, every character in your dreams is actually a reflection of you. Everyone you've ever been is still down inside you, submerged in the undifferentiated soup that Jung calls the unconscious. Down there somewhere are your various childhood and adolescent selves, along with the parts of your personality that you keep hidden, intentionally or unintentionally. When you dream, these aspects of your personality emerge as characters in your dream story. A childish part of you might appear in your dream as one of your own children. If you are a man, your feminine side - probably somewhat hidden - might appear as your wife or some other powerful female in your life. I happen to think that Jung is getting at the truth, but no one knows for sure. The only thing we do know is that your mind creates the most amazing stories, populates them with fascinating characters, and screens the whole production for you at night while you sleep. It's interesting to me that the Bible is filled with stories of God speaking to people through their dreams, but we don't hear many people in the modern church talking about that anymore. We celebrate the amazing dreams of the two famous Josephs in the Bible, but we don't pay attention to our own dreams anymore. When did we stop thinking of dreams as a celebrated vehicle for God to speak to us? When did this powerful way of hearing from God fall out of favor? Morton Kelsey, a Christian psychologist, asked this very question in his book, Dreams: A Way to Listen to God. He came to the startling conclusion that while the Church seems to fight publicly with science, we have adopted some of the modern methods of science ourselves. There is something modern and technical about the way we read the scriptures. And we have abandoned the mysterious practice of listening to dreams. I'm going to make a rather bold statement here: If you're not listening to your dreams, you're missing out on one of the most delightful, natural, and biblical ways that God works in our lives to teach us and to help us to grow. And now for some really wonderful news. You don't have to understand dreams for them to work. At night we close our eyes and our defenses drop like toys from the hands of sleepy children. Images and symbols dance through our minds. Not every dream is deeply significant, but the scriptures teach us that some of them are. If you're paying attention, you just might learn some things. So get a pen and paper and set them beside your bed. If you dream and wake up, write down the dream and in the morning puzzle over its meaning. Be prayerful about it. Talk about your dreams with trusted friends. Wrestle with your dreams; seek to learn from them. You won't always understand your dreams, but you should be listening to them.

This Rotten Week: Predicting The Hangover III, Fast & Furious 6 And Epic Reviews
By Doug Norrie 2013-05-19 08:11:00 comments
Fast & Furious 6
Speaking of additions to crazy successful franchises. Dominic Toretto and rest of his band of merry cranksters are back doing what they do best: driving real fast and acting real poorly. Where the Fast and Furious franchise differs from The Hangover (besides the obvious) is that it cleared the second and third installment malaise and kept trucking right on ahead into more critically acclaimed and lucrative territory. Before we delve further into this mystery, lets look at the facts (Tokyo Drift excluded):
The Fast and the Furious (52%) $207 million box office
2 Fast 2 Furious (36%) $236 million box office
Fast & Furious (27%) $363 million box office
Fast Five (78%) $626 million box office
So the question is: What the f@#$ with that last one? How does it so powerfully outperform its predecessors in both metrics? The simple answer would be: its better. But I dont really believe that to be true. Im sure to the Fast and Furious connoisseur there are micro, and maybe some macro, distinctions that make this a superior product. But to the undiscerning eye, many similarities exist. The director was Justin Lin (also did Fast & Furious) and the cast is relatively identical to the previous films. The acting is rough to say the least. The cars are just as cool. The stunts are a bit bigger. But the plot points remain consistent (read: silly) and the basic conceit of the other films is there. Why the spike in praise and dollars? Because car lovers and Vin Diesel fans alone dont account for this kind of uptick. I think it comes down to one thing: expectations.
I think after a number of less-than-stellar sequels to the first film, people had resigned themselves to a certain Fast and Furious fate. The franchise was sort of a running joke, predicated on Diesels and Walkers monosyllabic acting chops and the idea that the cars are the main character. But then all of a sudden, Fast Five is coming and people are like, Wait, theyre still doing this? And its not, like, a joke? Nice, game on! And people head to the theaters expecting to ironically laugh at everything. And they do, and now all of a sudden people like the movie. Because it is a joke. But everyone knows its a joke now (I suspect even the actors). And when everyones in on the joke, then the stakes change a bit. The expectations are diminished, allowing for people (and critics) to walk into the theater expecting very little and walking out pleasantly surprised.
Do I think this latest installment will be good? No, none of the movies in this franchise are good. But itll for damned sure be entertaining. The action is high, the acting is well, who cares about the acting, and the cars are cool. You know what youre getting and thats fine. And unlike maybe The Hangover III the expectations are low. The Rotten Watch for Fast & Furious 6 is

Dems on holding Republicans accountable for Foley: "Na ga happen." Why?
Does anyone else think this stinks? From ABC's KGO affilliate in, erm, San Francisco:
[Democratic] Representative Howard Berman: "The most important contribution this report makes, and it does it well, is to tell the story of what happened."
And then Berman refused to take any questions.
The committee wrote it "...was disturbed by the conduct of some of those who dealt with allegations of Foley's behavior.
Republicans "willfully ignorant"
Of course, that's true about Republicans in general, on any subject whatever, including Iraq, but in this case we're talking about the Ethics committee report on Republican Foley's pedophilia:
Foley panel: GOP didn't protect pages
The panel said it discovered a pattern of conduct among many "to remain willfully ignorant of the potential consequences" of Foley's conduct.
"That's a hell of an act! What do you call it?"
That's the setup for the punchline to the famous joke, The Aristocrats! Now, it may be that with the Iraq Study Group, the long-running and incredibly vile "family act" that the Bush malAdministration has been putting on for the American people is about to reach some kinda awful climax and punchline--"The Aristocrats!"--as well. We can only hope. Read more about "That's a hell of an act! What do you call it?"

Kedzie: State better off
click for larger version
December 23, 2013 | 02:32 PM
The 2013-14 legislative session has been one of the most beneficial for Wisconsin taxpayers.
Three years ago, Wisconsin faced a multi-billion dollar deficit left behind by the previous Administration and Legislature. The state was drowning in debt, unemployment was near double-digit numbers, and crippling tax increases had become the status quo.
Since then, the new Governor and Legislature have worked hard to get Wisconsin back on track and heading in the right direction. Numerous initiatives have been enacted to help the private sector create jobs and turn a struggling economy around. Because of those efforts, the state budget is now balanced, deficits are under control, taxes have leveled off – with some even decreasing – and the unemployment rate continues to drop.
While the 2013-14 legislative session is still in progress, much has already been accomplished this year, beginning with significant reductions in income and property taxes.
Earlier this year, an impressive $1 billion tax relief package was approved in the state budget, including an income tax cut of more than $650 million, one of the largest tax cuts in state history. As a result, every state income taxpayer will realize an average tax reduction of $152 in each of the next two years.
In addition, a bill providing $100 million more in public school funding was enacted, creating additional property tax relief for Wisconsin families and businesses. While the amount of property tax relief will vary, the owner of a median-valued home should see an average reduction of $18 in this year's property tax with only a slight increase next year.
This will mark the third straight year in which property taxes across the state have gone up less than 1% on average. This is significant, as the last time property taxes rose by less than 1% in consecutive years was 1946.

In an effort to spur job growth in the private sector, a number of worker training bills were recently passed by the Legislature that include nearly $9 million for training and apprenticeship programs that give Wisconsin residents the opportunity to access worker training programs and gain employment. Those state funds will also help pull in an additional $15.5 million in new federal funds for vocational rehabilitation programs designed to help people with disabilities enter the workforce.
Another measure recently signed into law provides start-up companies with greater access to investment capital. Wisconsin job creators and investors are now finally able to harness the power of the internet to connect with Wisconsin based crowd-funding platforms.
Crowd-funding allows investors to obtain an investment stake in a business and benefit from the success of the business, thus helping startup companies raise the capital they need to grow and create jobs.
While those acts are a priority for the Legislature, other issues are equally important.
Statistics show that one in five Wisconsin residents will have been affected by a mental illness this year, and nearly two-thirds of those with a diagnosable mental disorder do not get the treatment and support they need. The state budget provides more than $28 million for mental health funding to assist families and children receive the help they need in order to live healthier, stable, and productive lives.
click to see advertisement
Finally, in order to help parents and students with the rising costs of college, a two year tuition freeze for all resident undergraduate students at all of the 26 University of Wisconsin system universities and colleges was enacted. This is the first tuition freeze in the history of the UW System.
While much has been accomplished, there are still a number of issues that may be addressed before the 2013-14 legislative session ends early next year. Some of those issues relate to health care, mental health, alcohol and drug abuse use, and certainly a continued focus on job creation and economic development.
As 2013 comes to a close, Wisconsin finds itself in a much better place than just a few years ago.
Our tax ranking has improved, businesses are both moving to and expanding within the state, and the prospects for a brighter economic outlook have greatly improved. All of this is welcome news for Wisconsin, especially at this time of year.
I wish you and all your loved ones a joyous holiday season and a wonderful New Year!
