Will Obamacare flatline? All sides on edge
Supreme Court gets a do-over on health-care law
By Garth Kant
Published March 4, 2015 at 8:32pm
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts
WASHINGTON – After the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on a case filed against the federal government that could effectively overturn Obamacare, reaction from the right was cautiously optimistic but wary, while reaction on the left was somewhat panicked.
But it may those on the right who should have greater cause for concern, for two reasons:
Justice Anthony Kennedy, the somewhat conservative justice usually considered the swing vote on a court otherwise evenly divided four-to-four, expressed reservations about whether ruling for the plaintiffs would cause "serious constitutional problems" of coercion.
Chief Justice John Roberts did not ask any questions on the government's position in the case, setting off alarms for conservatives. They remember all-too-well how he shocked the world by casting the deciding vote in a 5-to-4 ruling in National Federation of Independent Businesses v. Sebelius, upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, on June 28, 2012.
Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at the conservative think-tank the Heritage Foundation, told WND, "I think this case is a cliff hanger."
The plaintiffs in King v. Burwell claim subsidies issued by Obamacare should be provided only by a health-care exchange "established by a state," which is the plain wording of the law.
That would mean the federal government could not subsidize policies bought on the federally run exchange used by customers in the 36 states that didn't set up their own exchanges.
And that would likely cause Obamacare to virtually collapse.
The Supreme Court will announce its ruling in June.
Reports from Wednesday's oral arguments suggested that liberal Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan were sympathetic to the administration's arguments, while conservatives Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito appeared likely to back the petitioners in the case.
"It is pretty clear from their questioning that the four liberal justices are going to vote for the government," said von Spakovsky. "They spent all their time in their questions trying to avoid the purely statutory text interpretation issue (which is a clear loser for the government) and drumming up hysteria about the dire consequences if they find against the government.
"I think Scalia and Alito will find against the government, but Kennedy could go either way and Roberts was keeping his cards covered, too."
Chief Justice Roberts, who is normally an active questioner during oral arguments in big cases, was noticeably quiet on Wednesday. Gayle Trotter, a lawyer and columnist who made headlines in 2013 for her passionate defense of gun rights before the Senate Judiciary Committee, told WND that might have been a deliberate strategy by the chief justice after his prominent role in saving Obamacare in his 2012 ruling that determined the individual mandate was constitutional because of the power of Congress to levy taxes.
"Because of that and the significant pressure that has been put on by all sorts of elite academics and media folks on John Roberts that they think was successful in the first go-around of this Obamacare fight, I think he's holding his cards very close to his chest," Trotter said.
Trotter sees this case as a golden opportunity for a do-over for Roberts. In a Washington Times column this week, Trotter likened the second court fight over Obamacare to the flubbed oath of office Roberts rendered to Obama in 2009. She said this is obviously a much more consequential opportunity to right something Roberts clearly got wrong in 2012.
Listen to the WND/Radio America interview with Gayle Trotter:
Critically, the plaintiffs argue that the wording of the law requiring subsides to go through only those exchanges "established by a state" was not an oversight. They say it was designed to force states to set up their own exchanges.
When they did not, critics say, the administration simply ignored the law by having the IRS issue subsidies to those in the federal exchange.
Justice Kennedy was an active questioner. His concern was that if the plaintiff's interpretation of the law was correct, that federal subsidies should be available only in the 16 states (and the District of Columbia) that established their own insurance exchanges, that would amount to a potentially unconstitutional coercion upon the other states to set up their own exchanges.
That was actually the intent of the law, according to Obamacare consultant and MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, who said in January of 2012, that tax-credit subsidies available for health insurance were only available in states that set up their own exchanges.
Emphasizing that was meant to coerce states to set up exchanges, Gruber said, "I hope that that's a blatant enough political reality that states will get their act together and realize there are billions of dollars at stake here in setting up these exchanges."
Asked to explain that when his comments became publicly known, Gruber instead said, "I honestly don't remember why I said that. I was speaking off-the-cuff. It was just a mistake."
Von Spakovsky told WND, "I was actually surprised that Kennedy took seriously the arguments made by the other justices such as Sotomayor about 'coercion' if they interpret the state exchange provision the way the plaintiffs were urging them to."
Such nuanced arguments were not typical of reactions on the left.
A Baltimore Sun op-ed titled, "Absurdity at the heart of the latest Obamacare challenge" claimed conservatives were "trying to kill it on a technicality."
"The government's case was stronger, and probing questions by the justices underscored how non-sensical (sic) and even potentially unconstitutional the statute would be if the plaintiffs' interpretation held," opined the paper.
Writing for the Huffington Post, Dr. Georges C. Benjamin of the American Public Health Association called health care "a fundamental right" and said, "A ruling invalidating these tax credits would be catastrophic to the American public and the American health care system alike."
He added, "Those of us in the public health community understand the enormous stakes in this case, and we understand that the clear text, purpose, and history of the Affordable Care Act require a ruling for the administration. A ruling for the administration is also a ruling for our health."
Likewise, NPR warned, "A ruling for the plaintiffs would be a mortal blow to the president's signature legislative achievement."
The website Gawker called King v. Burwell, "the latest challenge to the Affordable Care Act cooked up by radical libertarians."
Gawker also predicted, "If the challenge wins, the results would be catastrophic, a majority of the state's health care markets would be turned into chaos, with plenty of needless suffering and death as a result."
According to the leftist website, "[T]he argument that subsidies are therefore only available on the state-established exchanges – and not on the federal exchange, which is not technically 'an Exchange established by the State'" is essentially a drafting error, because (despite what Gruber maintained), "It was universally assumed by both supporters and opponents of legislation at the time that the subsidies would be available on both kinds of exchanges."
Gawker cited the "Moops" theory first put forth in Salon that the plaintiff's argument was analogous to one in a Seinfeld episode that claimed, "Bubble Boy shouldn't be awarded his Trivial Pursuit win because the card says Moops, not Moors, invaded Spain."
However, it was no drafting error, according to former federal prosecutor, contributing editor to National Review and frequent Fox News commentator Andrew McCarthy.
Last month, he told WND, "The only thing that matters is what the statute says. The statute is very clear: The subsidies/mandates regime only applies to exchanges established by the states, and this was explicitly done in hopes of pressuring the states to establish exchanges – it was not a drafting error."
The reason so many leftists argue an adverse ruling for the government would be "catastrophic" is an estimated 8 million Obamacare subscribers would lose their policies.
Of course, they would then be free to merely shop for a new plan, but many have argued that congressional Republicans should reach consensus on a replacement plan for Obamacare before the Supreme Court rules in June, particularly one that guarantees the right to shop for insurance across state lines and includes protection for those with pre-existing conditions.
Many observers have maintained that having such a replacement plan in place might make justices more inclined to rule against the government because it would allow the court to have confidence it was following the will of Congress and the public.
When WND asked von Spakovsky if he thought that was the case, he replied, "I believe there are already alternatives that have been proposed, so that should not be a factor for the justices. From a legal standpoint, whether or not there is a replacement plan standing by has nothing to do with the case, although it may influence their thinking."
Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., turned that argument back on the administration, saying, "It's also extremely disappointing that the Obama administration has admitted that they have no contingency plan to help families who could be affected by the King v. Burwell decision. Senate Republicans stand ready with health care reform alternatives that will eliminate Obamacare's problems and improve our health care system."
Lankford also issued a scathing indictment of the "drafting error" argument, noting, "The administration case's legal argument encourages a new method of reading any law in America: the text is not important, only the administration's interpretation of the text matters."
He added, "This King v. Burwell case is about much more than one poorly written health care law; it is about how and who interprets any law in the future. "
Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, or ACLJ, which filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting the plaintiffs, said, "The law must be applied as written. That is vital to democracy. And if the law as written doesn't work, it must be corrected through a democratic process, not regulatory fiat."
"This administration's make-it-up-as-we-go approach to implementing Obamacare is not only wrong but unconstitutional.
"The implementation of these badly flawed IRS regulations produces a couple of very disturbing results: It makes it impossible to accomplish Obamacare's goal of encouraging state promotion and, secondly, it promotes the federalization of this nation's health care in direct contravention of Congress' intent.
"We're hopeful the high court moves to correct this unconstitutional catastrophe and uphold the separation of powers."

Mount Polley Independent Expert Engineering Investigation and Review Panel
On August 4, 2014 the tailings pond dam at the Mount Polley Mine site breached and released an estimated 10 million cubic metres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of fine sand into Polley Lake. Contaminated water flowed out through Hazeltine Creek and into Quesnel Lake.
In response to this event the Government of British Columbia with the support of the Soda Creek Indian Band and Williams Lake Indian Band ordered an independent engineering investigation and inquiry into the breach incident.
The independent investigation and review is authorized under Section 8 of the Ministry of Energy and Mines Act.
On August 18, 2014, an independent review panel of three geotechnical experts was established to investigate into and report on the breach of the tailings storage facility (TSF) at the Mount Polley Mine on August 4, 2014.
The three panel members are: Norbert Morgenstern, Chair; Steven G. Vick; and Dirk Van Zyl. All are experienced geotechnical experts with particular expertise in tailings management facilities.
In accordance with its Terms of Reference the panel is expected in its report will identify:
any mechanism(s) of failure of the TSF;
any technical, management or other practices that may have enabled or contributed to the mechanism(s) of failure (and thus may include an independent review of design, construction, operation, maintenance, surveillance and regulation of the facility);
any changes that could be considered to reduce the potential for future such occurrences.
The Review Panel is currently in the process of conducting its investigation. The Review Panel will provide a Report on its findings to the Minister of Energy and Mines, the Soda Creek Indian Band and the Williams Lake Indian Band by January 31, 2015.

Case Karadzic

24.04.2018. THE PROSECUTION: GENOCIDE CONVICTION AND LIFE IN PRISON FOR KARADŽIĆ
23.04.2018. KARADŽIĆ APPEALS FOR ACQUITTAL OR RETRIAL
27.02.2018. APPEAL HEARING IN THE KARADZIC CASE TO BE HELD END OF APRIL 2018
01.02.2017. EXPERTS CONTRADICT KARADZIC: TRIBUNAL'S DETENTION UNIT IS NOT 'CARCINOGENIC'
Using Prijedor as an example, the Prosecution argued that ethnic cleansing in seven munipicalities of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992 reached the proportions of genocide and that former Republika Srpska leader should be found guilty on the first count of the indictment and sentenced to life in prison
The Trial Chamber in the Radovan Karadžić case erred in its decision to acquit the accused on the first count of the indictment charging former president of Republika Srpska with genocide committed in 1992 in the Bosnian municipalities of Bratunac, Foča, Ključ, Prijedor, Sanski Most, Vlasenica and Zvornik, stated the Prosecution the second day of the appeals hearing in the Karadžić case before the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals.
Prosecutor Katrin Gustafson pointed out Prijedor municipality as the most extreme case of violence: in 1992 it suffered a wave of massive attacks on villages and towns that were destroyed in reckless shelling, with their religious buidings erased. Thousands (and thousands) of people were detained in inhuman conditions in the notorious Omarska, Keraterm and Trnopolje camps, where inmates were routinely executed, beaten, raped and exposed to conditions calculated to bring about to their phisical destruction. Those who survived were forced to flee leaving all their possessions behind.
The intention to destroy the Muslim community of Prijedor was evident from the fact that the first targets were leading members of that community – lawyers, doctors, teachers, engineers, explained Gustafson. The campaign of violence yielded the intended result: the Muslim community of Prijedor has been destroyed, and those who survived cannot function as members of the Prijedor community any more. "As if we had been killed, too", said one witness from Prijedor, as quoted by Gustafson.
Radovan Karadžić had a decisive role in that campaign of violence and therefore the Appeals Chamber should deliver the harshest sentence and convict him to life in prison, said the prosecutor. The Trial Chamber sentenced Karadžić to 40 years.
The defence counsel Peter Robinson replied that the Trial and the Appeals Chambers of the ICTY and the MICT in the past 20 years ruled in a number of cases that serious crimes had been committed in Prijedor area, but not with a genocidal intent. In other words, not with an intention to destroy the Muslim community in part or in whole, but to expel or resettle it from the municipality.
"The intention to resettlea group is not the same as the intention to destroy it", said Robinson, drawing the attention of the judges to the sentences in the cases of Radoslav Brđanin, Milorad Stakić, Momčilo Krajišnik, Duško Sikirica, and the recent sentence in the Ratko Mladić case – all of whom have been acquitted of genocide in Prijedor and several other municipalities.
At the end of a two-day appeals hearing, the presiding judge announced the sentence would be delivered "in due course". The chamber consists of the presiding Theodor Meron (US), William Hussein Sekule (Tanzania), Vagn Prüsse Joensen (Denmark), José Ricardo de Prada Solaesa (Spain), and Graciela Susana Gatti Santana (Uruguay).

AECL aborts reactor development
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO - Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. is scrapping development of its two new MAPLE medical-isotope reactors at its Chalk River, Ont., laboratories.
The decision "is based on a series of reviews that considered, among other things, the costs of further development, as well as the time frame and risks involved with continuing the project,� the federal Crown corporation said.
The MAPLE reactors, described as the first in the world dedicated entirely to medical isotope production, were intended to be capable of supplying the entire global demand for molybdenum-99, iodine-131, iodine-125 and xenon-133.
AECL said the decision to abort them "will not impact the current supply of medical isotopes.�
It said contracts with MDS Nordion provide for production to continue at AECL's existing National Research Universal reactor in Chalk River.
"We are making the right business decision given the circumstances,� AECL president Hugh MacDiarmid said.
"Our board of directors and senior management have concluded that it is no longer feasible to complete the commissioning and start-up of the reactors.�
The NRU reactor has an operating licence from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission valid through October, 2011, and AECL said it will work with the commission and MDS Nordion to continue production beyond that date.
"We recognize the important role that NRU plays in the supply and delivery of medical isotopes to patients in North America and around the world,� Mr. MacDiarmid stated.
"AECL is committed to supplying medical isotopes from NRU in a safe and reliable manner.�

Todd Douglas Miller's APOLLO 11: QUARANTINE to Premiere for Television Saturday, March 6th
New documentary short includes never-before-seen footage of the three-week quarantine of the historic mission astronauts
Trailer: https://f.io/c8l3Qigv
CNN Films today announced the television premiere of APOLLO 11: Quarantine, a new short film from award-winning director and producer Todd Douglas Miller (APOLLO 11, Dinosaur 13), for Saturday, March 6 at 9:00pm Eastern on CNN. Miller previously created the 2019 cinematic event documentary feature, APOLLO 11, which was honored with three Emmy® Awards and was the highest-grossing documentary film of that year.
The all-archival APOLLO 11: Quarantine is created primarily from previously unseen, pristine 70mm footage from the National Archives and NASA, the same source material used for APOLLO 11. The crisp images of APOLLO 11: Quarantine begins with the return of mission astronauts Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins, who were medically-quarantined following their return to Earth in the summer of 1969. Although largely unknown to the general public, these extraordinary measures were taken to protect the world from any contamination with microorganisms or other material the astronauts may have inadvertently transported from the Moon. The film shows that, as the world feted their extraordinary achievement, their families waved at them through the windows of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory (LRL) in Houston. Out of an abundance of caution, the astronauts were confined to the module for 21 days from their initial exposure to the lunar surface.
Miller's film, produced and directed during a semi-quarantine of a different era, is intended to offer encouragement for viewers. The crew's inspiring mission was not completed until the end of their three-week medical quarantine. Their personal sacrifice offers viewers a reminder of the human capacity for resilience at the current moment of national crisis.
Miller produced APOLLO 11: Quarantine with Laura Kirby-Miller, Thomas Baxley Petersen, and Evan Krauss. The film is executive produced by Amy Entelis and Courtney Sexton for CNN Films; Josh Braun for Submarine; and Tom Quinn for NEON. NEON released the film in IMAX theaters in last month.
During the March 6 television premiere, APOLLO 11: Quarantine will stream live for subscribers via CNNgo (CNN.com/go and via CNNgo apps for Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, Chromecast, Samsung Smart TV, and Android TV) and on the CNN mobile apps for iOS and Android. For a limited period beginning Sunday, March 7, the film will be available on demand for cable and satellite system subscribers and via CNNgo platforms and CNN mobile apps. For the 2019 documentary, CNN Films produced a companion podcast, APOLLO 11: Beyond the Moon, which remains available for users interested in more information about the mission. APOLLO 11: Beyond the Moon, includes an exclusive interview with Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins and CNN's Brian Stelter. The podcast series may be found by visiting: https://www.cnn.com/audio/podcasts/apollo-11-beyond-the-moon

i bought a N64 console last week, it had everything but a power supply, i got told a japanese N64 power supply with stepdown adaptor will work on uk N64 consoles, is this true?
Yes, that would work. The N64 is fairly Import friendly because any N64 from any Region in the world can be powered with a PSU from any Region in the world.

The concept for the Chapters was originaly conceived in 1977. I read an article in a magazine describing Einstein's brain had been preserved for study and was being kept ar the Smithsonian Institute.
At the time I found this quite bizzare. In the late 70's the news was filled with the talk of nuclear war and we were about to ride through a decade of Star Wars movies.
These were the ingredients which inspired the story.
In 1977 the band was playing clubs in canada under the name of Pockets. As we prepared to make the SAGA-Album.
The decision was made to spread the story out over four albums like a puzzle. The band would jokingly say it was a great insure we would make at least four albums.
After just completing the 13th studio project, I guess it worked. Also the Chapters were partially responsible for changing the name of the band SAGA.
Without giving the whole story away the basic idea was that extraterrestrial life had been monitoring Earth's progress and was becoming fearful of its self destruction.
So they decided they would need someone on Earth to champion the changes that would have to be made to put Earth back on a stable course.
Very quickly, they realized the only person who was capable was Einstein. The plan was to give him the body which we see on the first album cover allowing him to be brought back to life so he could make changes by whatever means necessary to ensure the Earth's future.
In chapter one we see Einstein as an old man on the verge of madness trying desperately to make some sense out of this life as he draws images on the sidewalk of people and events that influenced the path he chose in life.
I hope this bit of insight will help you to piece the rest of the story together.
It has been a great pleasure for the band and I over the past eighteen years hearing other peoples' interpretation of the story.
Some of which have been far more involved and interesting than the original idea itself.

Latest Penguins Buzz: Asking prices for Fleury established?
Thursday, January 26, 2017 / by William DePaoli / / Inside Access, Pittsburgh Penguins / 62 comments
Sticking with Murray as Fleury trade rumblings heating up
Penguin coaches had always wanted by mid-to-late January to have things settled where there was no question who the Penguins No. 1 goaltender was going to be from here on out for the rest of the season.
They've stayed true to that mindset as the team is now rolling with Matt Murray who will make his sixth straight start, meaning Marc Andre Fleury will go at least 17 days between starts if he were to start Tuesday night.
"We've liked what Matt has done here," Sullivan told reporters today in Boston. "We feel like he's on a little bit of a roll. We just thought it made sense to stay with him."
— The Penguins have no set asking price as they are aggressively trying to trade Marc Andre Fleury and want to do so well before March 1. Clubs, though, that have spoken with the Penguins have a pretty good idea of what they're willing to consider.
1. The Penguins have been open to moving Fleury for a veteran player with term to fill a need, either a defenseman or a forward with speed that makes sense. The Fleury – Hamhuis talk was out there last month but has cooled of late.
2. The team is said to at least being open minded to keeping 20-25% of the cap hit in return for a high draft pick or high-end prospect, one Eastern Conference executive said earlier this month.
Another scenario league executives believe the Penguins would jump at that might be a head scratcher to some: Want the Full Story? Get "Inside Access"

A literacy specialist, also called a reading teacher or reading specialist, works with children and adolescents to help them overcome their struggles in reading and reading comprehension, vocabulary and critical thinking. As a literacy specialist, you will find work in elementary, middle and high schools. You'll work individually with children in one-on-one settings, as well as with content teachers to enhance their curriculum and encourage a supportive, educational environment.
A reading specialist does more than help students improve their ability to read. You will assist students in using reading exercises that develop their ability to understand text. You'll help them learn ways to manage a reading disorder, such as dyslexia, and expand their listening and speaking skills through exercises, games and activities. Literacy specialists also focus on a student's writing skills and developing their ability to think and write clearly and with purpose. Literacy specialists also provide guidance to teachers and school administrators in selecting and implementing reading programs across multiple grade levels.
To become a literacy specialist you must first earn a bachelor's degree in a field of education. These degrees include early childhood education, which covers children from birth through age four; elementary education, which spans kindergarten through grade six; or secondary education, which includes grades seven through 12. These programs teach you the theories and pedagogy of education, classroom management and instructional design. A master's degree in literacy or reading provides a deeper foundation in literacy practices, language and cognitive development, learning and reading disorders, child psychology and integrating literacy into content areas such as social studies, English or math.
State Certification
Most states require teachers and instructional coordinators, which includes specialty teaching areas such as literary or math, to be certified. Requirements vary by state, but in general, teachers must pass exams in their content or specialty area (e.g., social studies, English, literacy, science) and complete a minimum number of hours of professional development. Many states provide initial certification with provisional or professional certification awarded after the completion of a master's degree and successful completion of professional development hours. Most states require teachers to obtain a master's degree within a specific time frame.
Career Outlook and Salary
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the median average salary for an instructional teacher, which includes literacy specialists, was $58,800 in 2010, with the top ten percent averaging $93,000 a year. Jobs in this field will grow by 20 percent by 2020 as an increased focus in made by school districts to improve the effectiveness of their teachers. Instructional coordinators will be necessary to meet these goals.
2016 Salary Information for Instructional Coordinators
Instructional coordinators earned a median annual salary of $62,460 in 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, instructional coordinators earned a 25th percentile salary of $47,620, meaning 75 percent earned more than this amount. The 75th percentile salary is $80,440, meaning 25 percent earn more. In 2016, 163,200 people were employed in the U.S. as instructional coordinators.

Places to see in Dhupjhora: Dhupjhora is located in the South Gorumara Forest Range. The Gorumara Jungle, the adjacent tea gardens, the meandering Murti River, the Tree House and the elephant camp itself are the attractions of Dhupjora.
Nearby attractions around Dhupjhora: The entire Dooars range of jungles like Chapramari, Chalsa, Neora Valley, Chukchukia, Jaldapara and others are located nearby. You can also travel upto Bindu, Jhalong, Samsing, Suntaleykhola, Paren and other areas near the Dooars.
Things to do in Dhupjhora: This is an Elephant Camp where the Forest Department's elephants are kept and cared for. These jumbos regularly check out the forest with their mahouts and forest guards for injured animals and miscreants. After completing their job they take the tourists staying at their camp for jungle safari. Tourists can enjoy elephant safari everyday either in the evening or morning. Crossing the Murti River on elephant back and entering the Gorumara Range is a unique experience.
How to reach Dhupjhora: Dhupjhora can be reached by hiring cars from NJP (New Jalpaiguri Railway Station) or Siliguri or Bagdogra. First you have to reach Lataguri (75 kms from Siliguri) and then drive straight for 10 mins to reach the Rhino Crossing (Gondar More) where you would find a statue of a Rhino and the Checkpost for Dhupjhora Elephant Camp on the right.

The Murti River is a 10 min walk from the camp skirting a way through the fringes of the forest and crossing a few streams. You can also reach Dhupjhora from New Mall Junction Station.
Best time to visit Dhupjhora: October to March is the best time to visit the Dhupjhora Elephant Camp. However, the camp stays open throughout the year and arranges elephant safaris to different parts of the jungle. In the rainy season, most parts of the jungle stays out of reach for the tourists so the safari is held in selected areas of the jungle. Nevertheless, you have very good chance of sighting Rhinos, Bisons, Deers, Monkeys, Peacocks and other animals any time of the year.
Lodging and dining facilities in Dhupjhora: The Dhupjhora Elephant Camp is the only option for staying here. The camp has six cottages on stilts and a tree house for the tourists. All meals, cultural programs, elephant safaris are arranged by the camp. You have to book your accommodation beforehand (there is no spot booking facility) from the Office of the Divisional Forest Officer.

...are all of you too young or too blind to recall what occurred during the VC trade days.
VC's stock was at an alltime low. Few wanted the guy. 99% of TO fans wanted him out. If you don't recall how bad it actually was, just go back and try to search the sports-headlines. When the VC trade trade occurred, people were happy. Not b/c we got back anything, but b/c we got rid of that #### Vince.
Seriously - hindsight is 20/20. Backcock was garbage, but at the time VC had so little value it was incredible. Babcock did terribly, however we weren't going to get much more than what Babcock had received.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you. And yes, my memory of those days (and even the Damon Stoudamire days) is fine. Your memory, though, might need a bit of work.
Of course VC's stock was at an all-time low. He had only been stinking it up that season after several brilliant seasons, to the point where the coach benched him during the team's important minutes. Any-time your performance decreases like that after averaging over 20+ ppg per season, your stock is inherently at an all-time low. But "few wanted the guy" can't be farther from the truth, and "99% of fans wanted him out" is a stat you just made up, not to mention the fans that wanted him out didn't want him out for nothing in return.
When you say fans were happy after we traded him, that's you coloring the events with how YOU felt. If the moment the trade was announced can be considered 20/20 hindsight then fine, but it's not like years later, looking back, we finally realized how shitty that trade was. That realization was instant and the only reason anyone might have thought the deal was okay is if 1) they thought Mourning would actually play for the Raptors (oh Raptor fans and our fascination with big names), and 2) they didn't know who Aaron Williams and Eric Williams were. The reality of that situation broke pretty soon after the trade too. The only criticism truly deserving of being called hindsight is the realization now that we essentially traded Vince for Joey Graham and a bunch of cap ballast.
How do you know we wouldn't have gotten more than Babcock received? Do you have an alternate universe machine? I certainly don't, and while I can't tell you what we would have received, I can certainly say we did not try to trade him for very long. It's not like we didn't have 2.5 years remaining on his contract to trade him for crap. If his value was that low, as you suggest, it certainly could not have hurt to wait longer. No, Babcock pounced on the trade almost immediately -- a trade involving two meaningless D-Leaguers would have taken as long to complete -- and then instead of suspending Mourning without pay for refusing to report, he again did the "gentlemanly" thing and bought his contract out, citing the team's doctors as saying Mourning did not meet the medical standards for playing with the sad-sack Raptors, though apparently he was fine enough to play for the 2005-2006 NBA champions. The trade should have been made contingent on all players passing their physicals, and the moment Mourning failed his, we should have at least forced them to substitute someone else for him or rescind the trade. Realizing he'd go on to win the championship is hindsight, but we already knew in February 2005 that rather than buying him out, we should have just suspended his butt without pay as a team with any pride remaining would do.

99% was an embellishment. It is not a true fact. My recollection is just fine of how people felt about Vince, and how people (generally) felt about the trade. It is not solely ME that felt that way - people wanted him gone. (I have been searching to try to find comments and postings from 2004 to backup this claim but currently to no avail).
You said that babcock jumped quickly on a trade..but its not as if this was a 1-week or 1-month window where Babcock was shopping him - they were shopping him for a while. Corollary being that offers could not have been superb since (or likely would have been much better) they got minimal. Waiting 2.5 years to trade him - a lot can happen in that amount of time to have sweetened the deal. Its a good thing that GMs in ANY sport usually wait that long. Give me a break, be realistik and bridge the gap between theory vs. practicality.
Glad you admit it was embellishment. So tell me, is embellishment your usual method of making good arguments? Anything else you embellished?
I did say that fans that wanted him out did not want a straight dump. There's a big difference between "please trade him" and "please get rid of him at any cost". I was one of the "please trade him" group, but if you're going to get rid of him for nothing, I'd rather just send him home for as long as it takes to re-think his priorities.
You are mistaken that they were shopping him for a while. From your memory, at what point did the fans or the organization decide we needed to trade him? It couldn't have been before the season began, because despite him asking for a trade, we had yet to see his disappointing play. So how many games did it take for Mitchell to start benching him in 4th quarters, and for it to sink in that a trade was definitely necessary? If this was an instant conversation, it'd be interesting to see your answer because I fear your answer will change when I tell you now he was traded a month and a half into the season.
Trade requests happen all the time, and rarely do they get fulfilled right away, and sometimes not at all. Lesser players have been shopped around for longer and for better results. Your corollary is baseless, since "if they couldn't get much from him in a minimal amount of time, it's unlikely they would have gotten better" is silly. It's exactly the point that they would have likely gotten better had they waited longer. No, I'm not saying they should have waited 2.5 years, but because he still had 2.5 years left, they had time to move him. Impatience was our worst enemy, and inexperience Babcock's.
When Carter asked for a trade, every GM in the league was hoping to lowball the Raptors. That's how it works when someone announces that publicly. If Babcock was worth his salt, he would have talked to Carter privately and told him that he would satisfy his trade request if he either publicly revoked his trade request or at least played better. Waiting them out could only help, and it's not like the team had been competing for the two years prior. With 24 and 33 wins under their belt, and the season starting off 7-14, was there a reason to trade him for nothing? I ask again, if the offer was so bad, what would have been the harm in waiting? When has "Sell low" become proper procedure?
"Give me a break, be realistik and bridge the gap between theory vs. practicality."
The fact that the Vince Carter trade was so ridiculed by league pundits (and no, not 20/20 hindsight years later either) should tell you that it did not bridge the gap between theory and practicality. Trading Carter for another star is theory; not rushing into things is practicality; rushing into things and giving Carter away to a conference rival is plain stupidity, no other way to put it, and I think you've somehow been stuck in rationalizing the Carter trade for the past 5+ years. You somehow can admit Babcock's trade was terrible but it was somehow still the best we could do? I moved on a long time ago, but that doesn't make the trade smell any better.
Anyway, just an advance warning. I probably won't be around to respond to anything you might come with, but it certainly doesn't mean you're right. =P
Par 1: I'm not going to respond to something puerile and pedantic. Shot at me rather than any argument.
Par 2: That is you in the "no point to get rid of him just for the sake of it camp". Even on these boards there was a lot of chatter about sending Calderon to MIA "just because" if a possible S&T occurred. Can you definitely say the majority swung with "get rid of him just b/c to MIA for the salary dump" vs. "Trade him to MIA for some assets". Reading the boards - I saw more than enough argue for both. Same as with VC - there were enough, in my opinion, that wanted a straight dump.
Par 3: This is not stating that you are correct....but for the life of me I am unable to re-call if, in the previous year, what had occurred with VC. He demanded a trade in Sep. and was traded in Dec. (I think) - thats 3 months (which is an eternity in sports when searching for a trade). If I remember what had occurred previously - might have been over 3 months that people were tired of his act.
Par 4: Different cities - different mgmt - different expectations - different players - different roles on the team. This is not ceteris parabis - situations can't be compared. To believe that just because you wait longer things may get better is also faulty logic. I agree, however, that my original thinking may be flawed. I think that in this situation we are both wrong (having chosen different sides of the argument). In the end there is no magic formula, and neither is a guarantee, and neither circumstance can be proven (re: timing).
Par 5: How does Carter care what it does to the organization (in terms of attaining better assets)? He actions clearly show he didn't care. How will it help him improve his situation by playing better? If I was a child, I would become a disaster so they woudl trade me faster. Carter, as bad as he was and behaved, could have done MUCH worse things. Not that I think that this happened...but whose to say Carter didn't tell babcock "get me out of here before the break or just wait and see how I act and my effect on the rest of my teammates". IE Marbury. Further, re: sell low. Wrong. What you described is actually part of behavioural finance theory and its called loss aversion. You don't hold onto your losers - you get rid of them, take the hit, and start using your capital quicker in better investments. Talk to any knowledgeable finance guy.
Par 6: Your argument is that the masses are usually right. I'm not sure that I buy that to be truth. The trade was terrible - but it likely was close to the best that Babcock could do, given the circumstances that he was under. I am aware how counter-intuitive that sounds, however as you can see, I am not succinct in expressing my ideas so will try to figure out a better way of expressing it.
Par 7: No worries. You've brought up some valid points - I don't neccesarily agree with the majority of it though. Have a good night man, and keep'r stiff.

General managers from most teams wouldn't give in to Carter so easily. Want a trade? Play hard, play well or we're not moving you. You want to be a dick to try and force your way out? Suspension. Stay away from the team until you want to behave.

Drafting table with parallel bar – It would not be diplomatic to say that the table syntax is in relation to the use and multiplicity of the purpose. Drafting tables are still in fashion and are an option for those with multi-faceted utilities. The historical setting for the writing desk is that it is used as an antique handmade from solid oak style with brass fittings which is a symbol of the situation. Although we have become more practical and demanding roads in the modern way of life is a safe way to protect intellectual property.
Modern times almost completely change the way we live and how we perform daily operations. They have many goals such as patterns. Writing and sketches on a large piece of paper used for accurate images or technical views. The drafting table with parallel bar board is also call a mechanical board as a variety of design. Tools such as square sets, protectors; French curves, membranes, etc. Used. Modern tables are mainly made of steel due to the fact that lightweight steel. Panels are compare with antique and offer strength and ease of transportation. A typical design board consists of thick sheets of fiberboard that are compress with laminate.
Steel tables are able to install mechanical connections to control the height and angle of the surface. A simple foot pedal is use more frequently to control this movement. A large lead counterweight is also install so that if the foot pedal is accidentally remove. Drafting table with parallel bar will not be erect by injuring the user. A thin vinyl cover is use to provide the best surface. Sketch and also provides cover against the compass and spacer that can damage the wood surface of the table.

The Donier Do 17 that the RAF Museum recently retrieved from under 50 feet of salt water where it had lain for over 70 years, arrived at the museum's Cosford facility today. Museum staff as well as members of the public were on hand as the two tractor trailers that were carrying the wings and fuselage rolled through the museum's gates having taken on the plane at Ramsgate, UK where its salvage barge was docked.
Protected by aluminum framework, the plane is lowered onto casters to allow museum crews to roll it into its hydration tunnel.
Though somewhat tattered and corroded, this Dornier 17 is nonetheless the most complete example in the world.
Shortly after its arrival, a crane lifted the custom-designed frames supporting the remains of the WWII Luftwaffe light bomber from their transport trailers in preparation of their placement into special hydration tunnels that will keep the aircraft bathed in a citric acid, halting and neutralizing the corrosion of the aluminum plane, the first step in the restoration of this sole complete remaining example of its type.
In light of the attention the retrieval and restoration project has received, both in the United Kingdom and around the world, the museum will allow the public to come view the aircraft tomorrow, June 16th starting at 10AM. It's anticipated that aviation fans from across England's Midlands will want to head to the Museum to catch a glimpse of the aircraft.
Alex Medhurst, the General Manager at RAF Museum Cosford stated: "After all the hard work, planning and setbacks, it's great to know the Dornier is finally here at Cosford. It will be a rare and exciting opportunity for visitors in the Midlands to get up close and personal to a unique piece of aviation history and the chance to view it in its salvaged state."
A data plate on the Dornier 17.
The Dornier Do 17, shot down 72 years ago during the Battle of Britain and quickly buried under the ever-shifting sands off the coast of Kent, was discovered in diver five years ago and has been the subject of unending interest since. As the sole complete example of a widely-produced plane of extreme historical significance, the RAF Museum has gone to great lengths and expense to retrieve it. When raised from the seabed, the surviving data plate still attached to the fuselage confirmed the plane's identity as: Dornier 17 Z-2 Serial No 1160 of 7 Staffel, III Gruppe/KG3 (7th Squadron of the 3rd Group of Bomber Wing 3), Coded 5K + AR, just the museum's research had indicated.
Dornier Do 17 bombers en route to targets within England during the Battle of Britain
Operating out of the Saint-Truiden Air Base in Belgium, 5K + AR was one of seven in its formation on August 26, 1940, carrying sixteen 50kg bombs that it was tasked to drop on the RAF Fighter Command airfields in the area of Medway, in Southeast England. Before reaching it's target, Dornier 17 became separated from the rest of the formation and lost its bearings. It was then attacked by RAF Boulton Paul Defiants from the 264 Squadron. Both engines were hit as was the cockpit. With at least one of their engines stopped, a forced landing was made on the Goodwin Sands.
The crew of the downed craft all managed to exit the plane. The pilot, Flight Sergeant Willi Effmert, was captured, as was Sergeant Herman Ritzel, both sitting out the remainder of the war in a POW camp, while two others, Wireless Operator, Sergeant Helmut Reinhardt and Bombardier, Corporal Heinz Huhn died from their injuries. Huhn, who's gravesite is located in Cannock Chase German War Cemetery in the UK, received a visit from Medhurst of the RAF Museum last week, who laid a wreath in honor of "all those young men, from across the world, who died in the service of their country."

What's the long term plan for this aircraft? Will it be displayed as wreckage, like the Mk1 Halifax at Hendon or will it be restored? I hope that it will be used to take measurements and make drawings in order that a credible replica can be built
WarbirdsUpdate says:
The RAF Museum is intending on restoring the Dornier 17 to a static display standard. Given the condition that the plane is in one could make the argument that the result is to a large extent a replica, but that's a completely different discussion.
The documentation and drawings that will be required to achieve this restoration could very easily be used to produce future replicas, though none are planned at this time as far as we know.

When a patient in Maryland agrees to undergo surgery, he or she trusts that the surgeon is skilled and qualified to do the job. This is not always the case, however. In one out-of-state case involving surgical errors, a woman claimed that a doctor negligently completed many surgeries on her foot and was not even qualified as a health care provider when he was performing her treatment; she has thus sued the physician and the physician's insurer.
The woman said she underwent three different surgical procedures for a foot condition. However, she still had complaints about persistent pain in her right foot. The doctor each time suggested that she receive shots and take pills.
The woman said that when her physician later went on sabbatical, she ended up seeing a new doctor for the treatment of a foot cyst. Although the surgery happened to be successful, she still experienced pain in her foot. She got X-rays done of her foot and they reportedly showed that the previous doctor had removed too much bone when performing surgery on her foot. The woman said she later learned that this doctor was not a qualified doctor during the period when he was performing her treatment.
The woman in her lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages for medical expenses, along with pain and suffering. She is also pursuing damages for permanent scarring, losing the enjoyment of life and a decrease in her future income. Victims of surgical errors have the right to try to hold accountable negligent physicians through the Maryland civil court system.


This Symposium co-sponsored by the New York City Commission on Human Rights and the Fordham Urban Law Journal includes transcripts of panel discussions on topics at the intersection of law and policy. These topics include mediation, domestic violence, disability law, hate crimes legislation, sexual harassment, and sexual orientation law.
This article explores the place of forgiveness and mercy in tort law, describing frequent misgivings about encouraging forgiveness or mercy as part of the substantive or procedural law of torts. Finally, the article suggests a new concept, "merciful damages" which might allow some of the benefits of forgiveness while avoiding or mitigating some common concerns.
A discussion of the Jewish concept of "Teshuva," which provides the possibility of atonement for wrongdoings. The article explores the process of "Teshuva" in depth and describes its relationship and significance to modern criminal law.
This Article analyzes the need to create a new protected class of domestic violence victims to shield them from discrimination in employment. The Article examines arguments for and against proposed legislation to revise the human rights law governing disability, section 8-107 of the New York City Administration Code. The Article concludes that this legislation is unnecessary because the law already provides sufficient protection to domestic violence victims without requiring that victims disclose their domestic violence status to their employers.
This essay concerns itself with some of the legislative responses to stalking in New York and examines some of the specific anti-stalking provisions of the Clinic Access and Anti-Stalking Act of 1999, recently signed by New York Governor George Pataki. The author interviews Senator Michael A.L. Balboni, Assemblyman Scott Stringer, and the Assemblyman's former Legislative Director Rob Hack, who were all heavily involved in getting the legislation passed, offering a unique perspective.
A discussion of restorative justice and its relation to prosecutorial discretion. The article gives examples of the restorative alternatives to traditional criminal punishment and argues that such alternatives are an effective means of providing justice.
This article takes an in-depth look at the religious roots of mediation, particularly emphasizing the influence of the Franciscan movement. It also discusses the religious roots of mediation in the United States, various strategies and styles of mediation, the religious motivation for settlement agreements, and multi-cultured mediation.
This article discusses the relationship between the international debt crisis and global poverty. The author argues for an expansion of coordinated international effort, bolstered by fundamental principles of public international law, to address global poverty by substantially reducing the foreign-denominated debt owed by developing countries to modernized countries and financial institutions.
This Essay examines the New York Human Rights Law, which prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of a housing accommodation and provides persons with disabilities the right to request and receive reasonable accommodations from their housing providers. The Essay concludes that the recent interpretation of this law by New York City Commission on Human Rights Law is a move toward protecting the rights of persons with disabilities and removing unnecessary discrimination from their lives.
The article begins by discussing the problems that drug use is causing in the American Criminal Justice System. The article then discusses the use of "drug courts," which have proven effective in reducing drug use and recidivism. It then looks at the potential benefit of drug courts to the criminal justice system and states some of the questions pertaining to drug courts, such as limits and the requirement of specialized judges. The article concludes by looking at what critics have said about the use of drug courts, and by stating that the drug court idea is worth trying.
A discussion of the role of forgiveness in civil law, specifically relating to bankruptcy. Includes an audience question-and-answer session.


Shane Jepsen, former chief of security at the Idaho Correctional Center (ICC), alleged that Corrections Corporation of American illegally fired him. Jepsen claimed that he brought to the company's attention persistent staffing vacancies and falsification of staffing records at the ICC. He claimed that CCA tried to put the blame on him and fired him to protect their contract to manage the facility. In January 2015, it was reported that CCA and Jepsen resolved the lawsuit with CCA accepting Jepsen's voluntary resignation pursuant to a confidential severance agreement. (See related Corrections Corporation of America instances, "Fraudulent Billing and Understaffing at Idaho Correctional Center" and "Idaho Correctional Center – ACLU Lawsuit").


The artistic production of Pablo Suárez painting was figurative. In his first solo exhibition at the Galería Lirolay (1961), he showed paintings that distance themselves from Informalism by utilizing images of magazines, resulting in works that made reference to specific places and times. Suárez worked mainly in sculpture in 1962 and 1963. His first installation Munecas Bravas [Bold Dolls], in 1964, presented grotesque figures of prostitutes turning the Galería Lirolay into a house of ill-repute. Also in 1964, Suárez initiated his relationship with the Instituto Torquato Di Tella and with the nucleus of artists associated with it. This period would define many of Suárez's future projects. In 1965 he worked with other artists to produce La Menesunda, an elaborate and popular installation-journey created by Marta Minujín and Rubén Santantonín at the ITDT.
Late on in his career, Suárez distanced himself from artistic and political activity, withdrawing to live in the center of the country. In the 1970s, he returned to painting. His painting was realist, reclaiming elements from his environment and seeking to emphasize elements of daily life.
