ROY SAMUEL BATSON v. INTERSTATE BRANDS CORP. et al.
Court: TWCA
D. Russell Thomas and Herbert M. Schaltegger, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, for the appellant, Roy Samuel Batson.
Kitty Boyte (on appeal) and Patrick A. Ruth (at trial), Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellees, Interstate Brands Corporation and Indemnity Insurance Company of North America.
Judge: BLACKWOOD
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated section 50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court denied appellant Roy Samuel Batson's claim for workers' compensation benefits on the basis that Mr. Batson failed to establish that his disability was caused by his work. Mr. Batson has appealed. After our review of the record, we agree with the trial court that Mr. Batson has failed to carry his burden of proof with respect to causation. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the trial court denying Mr. Batson's claim for benefits.
LARRY BIELFELDT. v. DON TEMPLETON and RUBY TEMPLETON
Court: TCA
Homer R. Ayers, Goodlettsville, TN, for the Appellant.
Jerome Michael Converse, Springfield, TN, for the Appellees, M. Don Templeton, Ruby Templeton.
Judge: STAFFORD
This case arises from a dispute over a contract for the sale of land. In the contract, Appellee Sellers made no warranty concerning the exact acreage of the tract. Appellant Buyer was given the right to have the tract inspected and surveyed prior to closing; however, he did not exercise that right. At the closing, Appellant also executed a waiver to any claims arising from a determination that the assumed acreage was incorrect. A survey performed after the closing indicated that the tract was approximately three acres less than the parties thought. Appellant Buyer brought suit against Appellee Sellers on grounds of fraudulent misrepresentation. Finding no error, we affirm.
O'RANE M. CORNISH, SR. v. MARK CALDWELL, ET AL.
Court: TCA
O'Rane M. Cornish, Sr., Pro se.
Bradford D. Box and Spencer R. Barnes, Jackson, Tennessee, for the appellee Mark Caldwell.
Judge: FARMER
This is an action for wrongful death and loss of consortium. The trial court dismissed the action upon determining it was filed beyond the one-year statutory limitations period. We affirm.
HEATHER LYNN HARRIS v. TROY DANIEL HARRIS
Court: TCA
Thomas J. Dement, II, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Troy Daniel Harris.
James L. Collier, Nashville, Tennessee, for appellee, Heather Lynn Harris.
Judge: KIRBY
This appeal involves a post-divorce petition to modify transitional alimony. In the divorce decree, the husband was ordered to pay the wife transitional alimony for four years. The wife remarried during the four-year period. The husband petitioned the trial court to modify or terminate the transitional alimony based on the wife's remarriage and the new husband's financial contributions to the wife's household. After a hearing, the trial court reduced the husband's transitional alimony payments and shortened the duration of the alimony by one year. The husband now appeals, arguing that the trial court should have terminated his alimony obligation entirely, rather than simply reducing it. We affirm, finding that the trial court's decision was not an abuse of its discretion.
THE ESTATE OF CHARLES THOMAS McCRAW, Deceased v. JoAN LIKINS
Court: TCA
Thomas M. Minor, Somerville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Beverly McCraw, Executrix of the Estate of Charles Thomas McCraw.
Lee S. Saunders, Somerville, Tennessee, for the appellee, JoAn Likins.
Judge: FARMER
This appeal arises from a decedent's testamentary obligation to distribute his estate in accord with a marital dissolution agreement. The trial court determined that the decedent's codicil obligated his estate to pay joint debts that the decedent incurred with his fiance', and his estate could not seek contribution from fiance' for paying more than half of the debts. The trial court also determined that this distribution did not violate the marital dissolution agreement that decedent had negotiated with his ex-wife. We affirm the trial court on these two determinations. We, however, reverse the trial court's finding that the estate was not required to reimburse fiance' for payments that she made on the debts after the decedent's death and before the trial court ordered the estate to pay the debt.
JOSEPH ALAN PETERS v. SHARON OLENE (COATS) PETERS
Court: TCA
Chadwick G. Hunt, Savannah, Tennessee, for the appellant, Sharon Olene (Coats) Peters.
Dennis W. Plunk, Savannah, Tennessee, for the appellee, Joseph Alan Peters.
Judge: FARMER
The Wife in this divorce action takes issue with the grounds upon which the trial court granted the divorce, the distribution of marital property, the calculation of Husband's monthly income and the designation of life insurance. We affirm.
REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Successor to UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES v. MARSH USA, INC., ET AL.
Court: TCA
John McQuiston, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Regions Financial Corporation.
H. Frederick Humbracht, Jr., Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA.
John R. Riddle, Dallas Texas, Joseph T. Getz, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, The St. Paul Mercury Insurance Company, and Michael G. McLaren and Vickie Hardy Jones, MemphiTennessee, for the appellee, Twin City Fire Insurance Company.
Judge: FARMER
On appeal, Regions Financial Corporation ("Regions") asserts numerous reasons why the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel should not bar its claim against the Defendants National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. ("National Union") St. Paul Mercury Insurance Company ("St. Paul"), and Twin City Fire Insurance Company ("Twin City") (collectively "Defendant Excess Insurers"). Regions originally sued Defendants in federal court seeking indemnification pursuant to its insurance contract, and the District Court granted Defendants summary judgment because Regions failed to give simultaneous notice. Regions has now sued Defendant Excess Insurers in circuit court for breach of the same insurance contract. Regions claims that during the federal court appeal it discovered new evidence that it had given simultaneous notice to Defendant Excess Insurers through their agent. Regions claims, however, that it could not have discovered this evidence earlier because Defendant Excess Insurers concealed the agency relationship. The trial court granted Defendant Excess Insurers' motions for summary judgment on the basis of res judicata. We affirm.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. RICKY TERRELL COX
Court: TCCA
Scott A. Lovelace, Ripley, Tennessee (at trial), and Ryan B. Feeney, Selmer, Tennessee (on appeal), for the appellant, Ricky Terrell Cox.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; David H. Findley, Assistant Attorney General; D. Michael Dunavant, District Attorney General; and James Walter Freeland, Jr., Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: MCMULLEN
The Defendant-Appellant, Ricky Terrell Cox (hereinafter "Cox"), was convicted by a jury of three counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, a Class A felony, especially aggravated burglary, a Class B felony, attempted second degree murder, a Class B felony, aggravated assault, a Class C felony, and unlawful possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, a Class E felony. He was sentenced to twenty-two years at one hundred percent for the three especially aggravated kidnapping convictions and four years at thirty percent for the aggravated assault convictions, to be served concurrently. He was also sentenced to nine years at thirty percent for the especially aggravated burglary conviction, nine years at thirty percent for the attempted second degree murder conviction, and eighteen months at thirty percent for the unlawful possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, which were to be served concurrently to one another but consecutively to the especially aggravated kidnapping and aggravated assault convictions, for an effective sentence of thirty-one years. On appeal, Cox argues that (1) the trial court erred by admitting his prior juvenile conviction for impeachment purposes, (2) the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions, (3) the State failed to prevent or correct the false testimony of two of the State's witnesses, and (4) the trial court erred by imposing consecutive sentencing. Upon review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
Court: TCCA
Earl D. King, Pro Se, Tiptonville, Tennessee.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Frank Borger-Gilligan, Assistant Attorney General; and Weakley Barnard, District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: WELLES
The pro se Petitioner, Earl D. King, appeals from the Marshall County Circuit Court's summary dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. The Petitioner seeks relief from his eighteen-year sentence resulting from his guilty pleas to two counts of burglary and one count of vandalism. The Petitioner alleges that he was sentenced in violation of Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296 (2004), because the trial court applied enhancement factors not found by the jury in establishing his range and in increasing his sentence above the minimum. The post-conviction court summarily dismissed the petition for failing to state a colorable claim. Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.

Hamilton judges speak out on truancy
Several Hamilton County judges are speaking out on the issue of school truancy, saying the county's dropout rate is significantly higher than the state average and that does not bode well for the juvenile justice system. A new study by the Tennessee State University found that students charged with truancy are more likely to commit other juvenile crimes than students who stay in school.

UFC heavyweight Roy Nelson had nine previous knockouts to his credit entering UFC 146 but none so fast as the one he notched against Dave Herman in their showdown on Saturday night. "Big Country" landed a big right hand in the opening minute of the match-up with the force first spinning Herman around and then sending him down to the mat.
However, though the stoppage came just 51 seconds into the fight, the generally playful Nelson saw room for improvement when asked about the bout's result.
"I'd like to just throw one (punch) and call it a night. If I could just go in there and throw one punch, and the guy goes down or whatever that'd be great," said Nelson to Fuel TV before admitting, "I can live with three."
As far as who Nelson wants to fight next now that he's back on the winning track, the 17-7 fan-favorite avoided mentioning anyone specifically, remaining open to any challenge the UFC puts in front of him whether a newly signed opponent or longstanding veteran.
"Whoever can pass the test. Really, it doesn't matter because really the fans are the ones that really pick the fights," replied Nelson, elaborating on his opening statement with a tongue-in-cheek joke. "The Roy Nelson or the drug test. I like random drug tests instead of where I can like cycle off and then get on."

EL PASO, Texas - A West Texas driver has been sentenced to 16 years in prison in an alcohol-related accident that left two passengers dead.
A judge in El Paso sentenced 23-year-old Miguel Vargas of El Paso.
Records show Vargas was legally drunk last December during the fiery one-vehicle accident that killed 23-year-old Kim Araujo and 19-year-old Idaly Reyes. Two other people in the vehicle were injured.
Jurors last week convicted Vargas of two counts of intoxicated manslaughter and two counts of intoxicated assault.
The jury recommended eight-year sentences on the manslaughter counts. A judge Tuesday decided the two prison terms must be served consecutively. Vargas was sentenced to 10 years of probation on the assault counts.

Oh PH, also - High School. Yeah not my thing either. I had friends, I still have some of those friends, but I pretty much avoided all the drama by being quiet. I wasn't one of the popular kids and really didn't have those aspirations - didn't drink for quite a few years, and they'd show up to dances drunk (ugh); I was probably kind of nerdy then but nobody called it that. I never felt like I fit in that well.
It most definitely does not qualify anywhere near any of the best years of my life. If there were good things those years, it had nothing to do with the life of High School. I liked learning, I was great in math, so that was okay. Of course popular kids don't appreciate it when you're good in math; they don't care, right? lol
I was definitely a late bloomer. I don't have any hatred and wasn't mistreated. I was pretty much quietly ignored for the most part.

Veterinary questions? Ask a Vet for Answers ASAP
Hi , I'm James DVM MRCVS and would like to help you with your question
Labradors are very intelligent by all means . Most commonly we adore their intelligence and make use of it by making the, guide dogs and drug sniffing dogs but they are as well know for their unending hunger .
by her panting and you rewarding it with a treat you are creating what is regarded as conditional learning .
She connects the treat which she loves with the former panting and staring and to her it all relates
and to her its means to get what she want . and every time she acts like this and you reward her - you are making this reflex stronger
We must though make sure that when it comes to walking - it is not because of anything else which such as an inflammation of the urinary tract or other disease which must be eliminated by examination at your vets.
How often does she do it ?
Is it at specific time of the day ?
We what you must do is correct it by building a new conditional Spencerian meaning - not rewarding her
Is there anything she doesn't like ?
Well then we must they ignore her .. resulting in a dissociation of the reflex.. this might take a while but persistance is needed in order to make a difference .
By you giving into her behavioral damages - you allow it to go on.
I know it's not a quick fix - but there is no quick fix for such a problem.
Have you anything more on the topic you with to ask
I hope this helps .
If you wish to speak further , please let me know and I shall be back ASAP
all the best to you both
Hi again .
Please before you leave - do not forget to rate the conversation .
I know it's hard and especially a a chocolate lab with their big puppy eyes . but you must be hard and you will succeed , I promise
you will do great
And please don't forget to rate our conversation : )

Recycled Materials
recycled materials
About 430 million liters of crude oil are consumed daily in Germany alone. The highest quantity is of course used as a fossil energy source and as fuel, but the rest is used in the production of plastics and thus also textiles. To stop this enormous usage of crude oil and also to reduce the energy consumption as well as the CO² emissions, we only use recycled materials. Due to their exceptional environmental friendliness, these Sympatex-fabrics, we commonly use for our functional jackets, are awarded with the ÖkoTex Standard 100, as well as the Bluesign certificate.

Betrayal. (noun) breaking of violation of a trust or confidence by that produces moral and psychological conflict…
A best friend betrayal is a sting of a jellyfish. I want to forget it but it won't. It disturbs me every day. It makes me ask more questions even I have answers. It makes me wonder if I wasted 18 years of life being with a brother from another mother, who simply fake things.
Before 2017
I began suspecting there's more to his sadness. I couldn't convince him to go somewhere and chill. All I received were layers and layers of excuses. Chatting to him in Messenger was a pain in the ass too. He talked less. He shared less.
I tested his loyalty by unfriending him. In my mind, he'd immediately re-friend me once he knew it's an honest mistake. I knew it's a stupid test but never mind, he failed.
January 2017
It took him almost a year to re-friend me. Seems it's a wake up call to me to question his loyalty, but I never believed the sign. It wasn't an objective sign anyway.
He told me he wanted a new girlfriend. I remembered I said to him "Man, you can't be a cool homie to me, now you want a romantic relationship, you must be kidding me, right?"
My intention was to let him know the kind of person he'd become but his interpretation was differently annoying. His response was filled with malice. He always thought I was gay but I laugh whenever he told me that.
Those were the conversations we had. Most were jokes. We never meant it. Some days, we had conflicting point of views but I understood it why. He's a conservative.
March 2017
I put my complete trust in him. I wanted to believe we're still loyal with each other until he shared one of our sensitive conversations with his new girlfriend.
My world spun literally when I knew he implied to her I have identity crisis. He made me look like a gay who is sexually attracted to him. He also shared we had conflicts.
As expected, his girlfriend would feel I'm trying to steal him from her. She doesn't know me at all; therefore, she would believe everything he'd say.
I confronted him through chat. I asked him why. He told me he's introducing me as his best friend to her.
In my mind, "Woah, it's a great introduction. Is this his way of getting her to trust him? Is he making a fake news about me for him to get an advantage?"
Look, I'm his best friend. His girlfriend would interpret it differently. She doesn't know me at all.
I never said those words in chat. Instead, our Messenger exploded with hurtful exchange of words that I never expected of me to say to him. He unfriended me as expected.
I challenged him to face me offline and end our friendship. He answered no. He felt afraid.
I told him I can sue him for making me look like a gay person with identity crisis.
The following day, we argued offline. I expected a smooth-sailing conversation to settle things but he was the one screaming at me. He wasn't thinking he was the one who betray me.
I was angry too but I chose to remain calm. I wasn't raising my voice for him to understand me clearly.
He kept repeating the moment we had a sensitive conversation. It supposed to be a funny and senseless conversation between two adult men. It's a joke, I was even laughing when we're chatting but for some reasons unclear to me, he's taking it too seriously.
I asked him again about the identity crisis thing but all I get were crappy answers. It's a clear sign of lack of empathy. He didn't realize he wasn't man enough to stand for his best friend.
In my mind, I asked: "What's wrong with this man? He becomes someone who only cares about his face."
He didn't realize he's making fun of my reputation too. Just for the record: We're best friends for 18 years. We have no secrets; therefore, I know if he tells me lies.
Just because he has a girlfriend who he wants to marry (and I know it), he betrays me like he's some kind of a pro. What's the difference between him and Judas?
He apologized through texts but it wasn't enough. The damage is done. A piece of "I am sorry…" couldn't resurrect a dead dog.
I decided to give him a chance. I let him know to protect our conversations and never share it to anyone. His response; however, was seemingly he's obliged to do it.
He kept telling me I'm overthinking things and I couldn't get why. For this, I doubted if he gets the exact point I'm implying, or was he trying to make me a fool, convincing me we're cool?
April 2017
His girlfriend arrived. I called him to get some news (congratulate him too for having the one) but he never answered the calls.
I reached out. I offered a dinner with them because I knew he's going to marry her. I made this offer even if I knew he wasn't making me his best man.
He's hesitant though. I could sense he's making excuses – excuses of not having time.
It's the moment I fully realize the best friend I consider becomes a no one. He's the one talking nonsense behind my back and he had no plans to repair the damage.
No need to re-consider or overthink (if this is what he only thinks I'm doing). WE'RE DONE!

- Windpower Offset
- The Broncos have purchased renewable energy through Xcel Energy's Windsource Program to offset 100% of the electricity used to power all home games for the 2011 season.
- Single Stream Recycling
- In August of 2007 Sports Authority Field implemented a stadium wide recycling program.
- Cardboard Recycling
- In February of 2008 the stadium purchased a cardboard baler and began recycling cardboard.
- Green Team
- Prior to the 2008 season Sports Authority Field partnered with Johnson and Wales University and formed the Green Team. While on-site at Sports Authority Field they roam the stadium parking lots distributing free trash bags to tailgaters and encouraging them to recycle in the parking lots as well as inside the stadium.
- Composting
- Composting began in November of 2008 in the main kitchens.
- Energy Management
- The stadium has instituted an Energy Management Program, and due to this program the stadium has seen an 11% reduction in it's energy usage.
- This reduction is due in large part to the following improvements:
- Lighting Retrofits - 300 lighting fixtures were retrofitted during in 2009, estimated to save 1.4 million Kwh / annually.
- 23 Motion Sensors were installed in various office areas.
- Reduction in HVAC operating schedule, reducing heating and cooling hrs by approx. 700 hours annually.
- Installation of (16) in-ceiling Airius fan units were installed in locations with high ceilings. This improvement helps in circulating air and preventing levels of temperature variations from developing.
- For 2010, the installation of Variable Frequency Drives (VFD's) is scheduled for the stadiums cooling towers. This project is estimated to reduce energy usage by over 200,000 KWh annually.
- Rocky Mountain Region Greener Venues Partnership
- The first partnership of its kind, Sports Authority Field became a charter member of the program along with the other major Sports and Entertainment Venues in the Denver Metro Area. The EPA helped in forming the partnership and is using the program as a template for other cities in the US.
- In 2009 citizens of Broncos Country helped generate $1.3 million for Colorado State Parks, Great Outdoors Colorado and the Conservation Trust Fund, which supports recreation facilities statewide by playing the Denver Broncos Scratch Game from Colorado Lottery. Thank you for helping to keep Broncos Country Beautiful and don't forget to purchase Broncos Scratch Tickets again this season.
- How many plastic bottles do Americans go through every year? 2.5 million, by recycling only one out of every ten of the bottles we use; it would reduce the amount of waste going to landfills by over 200 million lbs each year.

Welcome to the Disney Kingdom.
Walt Disney Co. Has been entertaining people for almost a
full century. As Walt himself said: "It all began with a mouse". In 1928, A new cartoon character made his way to the silver screen, and captured the
hearts of the entire world. His name...Mickey Mouse. As everyone is aware, Mickey was an international success, along with his friends Donald, Pluto, and
Goofy. The advancements made by the Walt Disney Co, and its founders love of technology and music paved the way for the companies biggest breakthroughs.
When color was introduced to film, Disney was the first to use it in animation, with The Flowers and the Trees. Walt's keen ear for music lead to the
success of songs in animation with The Three Little Pigs. The invention of the Multi-Plane Camera by the company made possible a sense of depth and
realism in a animated short. All of these innovations, and pushes ahead in animation over that first decade lead the Walt Disney Company to their greatest,
and most well known success...the animated feature film.
In 1938, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released to the world. It was called the Disney Folly while in production, because people could not
fathom sitting through a full hour and a half of a cartoon. These same people were the ones who gave it a standing ovation on its premiere. The first of its
kind in film history, Walt received a special Academy Award. It has a regular statue accompanied by seven smaller statues. Shirley Temple gave him the
award, and when asked if he was proud of it, he replied "I'm so proud, I think I'll blush." This was not the end though, Disney and his team of artist have
gone on to create some of the most loved films of all time. And throughout it all, they have pushed the boundaries of technology and animation to its utter
limits and beyond. In the mid 80's, Nintendo brought the video game craze abck to the
USA. Disney saw a marketing opportunity in this, and began creating video games. In the early 90's, Disney once again found a resurgence in their animated
films. Successful hits such as Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, and Pocahontas were some of the greatest films to be produced by
the company. The Lion King holds the record for highest grossing traditional animated film, Pocahontas holds the record for largest premiere in the world,
and Beauty and the Beast is the first and only Animated film to be nominated for Best Picture. At this time, the advent of the computer was coming into the
field of animation as well. Video games were extremely popular, and Disney saw an opportunity to make their animated films into games kids and adults could
play through the stories of their favorite films again and again.
Disney has created close to 30 games since the video game craze began, and they are some of the most graphically beautiful, and challenging games around.
Everything from Mickey Mouse, to Simba, Pinocchio, Aladdin, and The Jungle Book has been sampled into a video game. But for some reason, with the exception
of Mickey's magical Mirror for the Game Cube, there was no games made by Disney for the consoles past the 16 bit era...then something happened that no one
ever expected.
In 2000, Squaresoft announced the Kingdom Hearts project with the Walt Disney company.
People were stunned. Squaresoft, soon to be Square-Enix, was the head of the massively popular Final Fantasy and Chrono series. It seemed like a completely
different entity from that of the Disney companies entertainment. Most gamers scoffed the idea of the two making a game together, and it was for doomed to
be a flop game, before it was released. Very similar to the way Snow White was regarded as a folly before her release back in 1938.
When Kingdom Hearts was released in 2002, it was widely received as a masterpiece between the two companies. It was given great reviews all around, and has
since spawned a total of 5 sequels/prequels, and has become a major franchise for both Disney and Square-Enix. This title shows Disney still has what it
takes to make great gaming titles. The characters used in the games were done just as they were in their films. Voicing, (Though not always the same as the
original) was done as close as could be done. The giant leaps of video gaming by the Disney company in the decade between the game rush of the 90's and
Kingdom Hearts is still mind blowing.
The Disney Kingdom is for those classic games that are all but forgotten. Those great games that lead up to the present Kingdom Hearts series. As I find
more titles from Disney, I will place them in here. Right now I am opening the Kingdom with two of the best titles in their cannon: The Lion King, and
Aladdin. Both are great titles, with the Lion King holding my pick as the best of the SNES era. Please feel free to come in and enjoy the magical world of
Walt Disney, and the great characters and games they have created.

Truefitt & Hill: The Oldest Barber in the world comes to Malaysia Dec 29, 2013
A friend in Kuala Lumpur recommended I visit Truefitt & Hill for a shave. I went to the Starhill Gallery branch in Bukit Bintang and was rewarded with one of the best shaves I have had in a long time.
After a balm was carefully applied a hot lemongrass scented towel was wrapped firmly round my face for a minute or so. Observing that I had sensitive skin Shadi the barber went to work with skill that makes you understand why barbers of old were also called to perform surgery. The shave ended with a freezing cold lemongrass scented towel and another lightly scented balm. From start to finish that process took about a half an hour. The result was a perfect shave and a feeling that all was well with the world.
It is relaxing at Truefitt & Hill. The staff speak softly. There is no idle chatter. If the answer to the question "how would you like your hair cut" is "in silence", then Truefitt & Hall is for you.
A shave is RM75 and worth every cent (or sen).
Truefitt & Hill were founded in London in 1805 and now have four branches in Malaysia. As well as the branch on the upper ground floor of the Starhill Gallery in Bukit Bintang there are also have branches in the Bangsar Shopping Center, The Grand Hyatt and The Majestic Hotel KL

The Latest Trumpian Vesuvian Eruption
The latest conflicts horror of the Trumpian Russia mess is pockmarked with salacious perverted details of a Russian set up of Trump for blackmail to achieve Russia's international ends. I cannot write about it .... yet. 1) We need proof and 2) The salacious details are too embarrassing to me. Buzzfeed has reported all 35 pages of it because that is what Buzzfeed does. It is easy enough to google but disgusting to read.
Below is the Huffington Post reporting which in my opinion is a more believable source without salacious details. Still we need to know the truth and there are 10 days until inauguration. If guilty of any of it the tragedy will become, in epic form, Shakespearian.

Eight years ago, Kewell was a member of the United side beaten 2-0 by Galatasaray in a UEFA Cup semi-final first leg clash in Istanbul, which went ahead just 24 hours after two Leeds supporters, Kevin Speight and Christopher Loftus, were murdered on the streets of the Turkish capital by hooligan Galatasaray followers.
Ray Fell, chairman of Leeds United Supporters Club, told the News of the World: "Many of us are appalled by Kewell's decision.
"I am shocked and extremely disappointed that a member of that Leeds squad, who along with his team-mates, the families of Kevin and Christopher and everyone else connected with the club went through the trauma and sadness of that occasion, has signed for Galatasaray.
"For us now to have to see one of our ex-players from that sad time taking the applause from Galatasaray fans will be sickening."
Kewell spent eight years at Elland Road before leaving for Merseyside. He joined the Reds at a time when Leeds were having to off-load their top stars because the club had hit financial difficulties.
Fell added: "Nobody here had a bad word to say about Harry when he went to Liverpool because the fans could understand the reasons why he was leaving.
"There was no blame attached to him then, but this is different. The fans won't forgive him for this."

Kimi Räikkönen evaluated the team's new Coand exhaust system whilst Romain Grosjean ran through the usual programme of general setup work during the first day of running here at the Korea International Circuit.
Both drivers made their inaugural appearance on Korean soil, running reliably through the two 90 minute practice sessions.
Romain ran with the Singapore generation rear wing for evaluation at the start of FP1, swapping to the Japan spec rear wing for the remainder of the day.
Pirelli's soft compound tyre was used in the morning, the soft and super soft in the afternoon.
What we learned today: The Coand exhaust performed as expected aerodynamically and heavy fuel balance and tyre degradation levels were both promising."
Kimi Räikkönen (E20-05 - Free practice 1 : P11, 1:40.929, 14 laps - Free practice 2 : P10, 1:39.839, 26 laps) "The circuit is okay ; it's surprisingly bumpy in some parts but it's quite different from other places we race.
It's difficult for me to say about the exhaust until I've sat down with the engineers and gone through the data. We'll try to improve the car for tomorrow as it wasn't very easy to drive and get a good lap today.
Let's see if we can get it completely right and maybe we can be in the top five in qualifying."
Romain Grosjean - (E20-03 - Free practice 1 : P8, 1:40.422, 22 laps - Free practice 2 : P11, 1:39.957, 28 laps): "It's not been the easiest day.
I think we still have some work to do with the car to get the best out of the tyres so tomorrow morning will be important. The track is interesting but it's not been so hard to learn.
The trickiest part is definitely Turns 11 & 12 which are not easy to get exactly right but overall it's not too bad.
On the positive side we've had a good amount of time learning the circuit and gathered a lot of data, so hopefully we can analyse things overnight and see an improved performance by the time we get to qualifying."
Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Director : "We're happy with how the new exhaust worked from a performance perspective and now need to assess if there are any potential reliability implications due to the hot exhaust gas running in different areas than usual.
Early impressions are certainly good and we expect to retain it for the rest of the weekend with Kimi. Both drivers learnt the circuit very quickly.
Romain complained of a little too much oversteer and with Kimi there's still potential with the setup, especially as we learn more about the new exhaust.
Both drivers reported that they were very happy with the balance of the car when on high fuel loads and degradation levels look manageable from the tyres so it's been a productive first day."

The Friends of the Lawrence Public Library Book Sale went "very well," the chair of the sale said today.
June Boyajain said the 1993 sale raised about $32,000.
"I don't have any final figures yet, but we are little ahead of that this year," Boyajain said.
She said the library still has many books and will be giving all remaining items away, for free, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
"We want to clean out our garage," she said.
The sale was Friday through Monday at the library garage, Seventh and Kentucky.

Ramos keeping boxing tradition alive at Harlandale
Updated 10:59 pm, Saturday, February 23, 2013
Harlandale High School's tradition of producing elite boxers appears to be in good hands.
"Jesse" James Leija, Felix Castillo and Raul Martinez are three of the best the school has turned out through the years.
A fourth might be on the way.
Cresencio Ramos still is young and learning, but based on his performance Saturday night in the finals of the 2013 San Antonio Regional Golden Gloves tournament, it might only be a matter of time until he joins the group.
The Harlandale senior used superior hand speed and punching accuracy to defeat Dustin Southichack of the U.S. Air Force team 5-0 to win the open lightweight championship in front of 1,200 fans at the Scottish Rite Auditorium.

"My principal, teachers, everybody at my school asks me if I'm going to follow in their footsteps," Ramos, 18, said. "I always say, 'Yes, of course.' "
Ramos was one of 14 champions crowned on the evening, nine in the open division and five in novice, including one female.
Open heavyweight Derick Bibins of Team Azteca won unopposed and will join the other nine open champions representing South Texas at the Texas State Golden Gloves Championships that begin Wednesday in Fort Worth.
Ramos' father and coach, Cresencio Sr., decided to change the game plan in the finals, telling his son to be aggressive instead of sitting back and countering.
The boxer followed it to perfection.
"To win this means a lot," said Ramos, a member of the San Antonio Parks & Recreation team and a former junior national champion.
It was Ramos' first Golden Gloves, and probably his last. He plans to turn pro after the U.S. Championships in March.
Leija, sitting ringside, was impressed.
"He looks real good," Leija said. "He's got speed, and he's a lefty. That's an advantage right off the bat."
In other bouts, Hector Tanajara, 16, of Parks & Rec, used his superior reach to his advantage in beating Jason Ramos, Cresencio's younger brother, for the open flyweight title.
At 141, Travell Mazion of Ann Wolfe Boxing Club in Austin beat Ryan Karl of
Milano 3-2 in a spirited battle for the open welterweight crown.

NEW evidence on contamination from genetically modified crops shows they could affect Wales even if the country remains nominally GM-free.
Maps published by Friends of the Earth Cymru suggest that allowing GM oil seed rape to be commercially grown in Britain will lead to widespread GM contamination.
The maps show that closely related species like the wild turnip and wild cabbage, which are known to cross pollinate with the arable crop, are widespread across the country.
That means cross-breeding will be almost inevitable if GM oil seed rape is grown practically anywhere in the UK.
Some scientists fear that allowing GM oilseed rape to be grown in the UK could lead to herbicide-tolerant genes and other traits escaping into the wild plant relatives.
This could lead create herbicide tolerant superweeds, creating weed control problems for farmers and problem weeds in wildlife habitats.
Others, such as Dr Denis Murphy of the Biotechnology Unit at the University of Glamorgan, admit the possibility, but argue that GM crops would make no overall difference to farming or the environment and that a ban is not feasible after EU approval.
In a report published last week, Dr Murphy said GM crops could enable farmers to implement environmentally friendly practices like zero-tilling or integrated weed management in their fields.
But he concedes that they might lead to the emergence of herbicide tolerant weeds if they out-crossed with weed relatives, while the use of biotech crop varieties may increase likelihood of herbicide resistant insects.
The high risk that conventional crops and wild species could be contaminated by GM crops is emerging as the most significant argument against the technology.
FoE Cymru director Julian Rosser said the research showed every area of Wales could be affected by cross contamination between GM oilseed rape and its wild relatives.
Mr Rosser said people across Wales felt that GM crops should be kept out until there is more evidence that they are safe for human health and the environment.
Recently published research showed high levels of cross-pollination between GM oilseed rape and wild turnip in a GM experimental plot in Humberside, where 46% of seeds in a wild turnip plant were found to be genetically modified.
Oilseed rape pollen can be carried great distances by the wind and low levels of pollen have been detected up to 2.5 km from where the crop was grown. Last month a new study by scientists at Lille University in France warned that GM material can be spread over long distances by farm vehicles or by getting stuck to people's shoes.
A government-funded public debate on GM crops, launched last month, is due to end on Friday. Later this year the Government is expected to make a decision on whether or not GM crops should be commercially grown in the UK.
No GM crops have been grown in Wales since 2001, when a trial crop of maize at Sealand was attacked by protesters.
Dr Murphy's report, GM-free Wales, concludes that Wales cannot go it alone now that the EU has approved the marketing of GM crops.
"The policy is not legally enforceable - as admitted by some of its original proponents," says Dr Murphy. "It would not contribute towards enhancing the economic competitiveness of Welsh agriculture."

REMEMBER WHEN: Texas destinations that kids and teens loved but no longer exist
Playland Park was a Houston amusement park that locals and visitors enjoyed from the early 1940s until 1967. Owner Louis Slusky also owned and operated the miniature train at the Hermann Park Zoo for decades.
It was located at South Main between Murworth and Westridge. Playland Park closed down after it was purchased by an individual and then sold to AstroWorld a few years later. There was also a version in San Antonio.

Slusky is the brains and drive behind 25-acre Adventure Pointe, which is under construction off I-45 south of League City. Slusky said that weather permitting and barring any building delays, the park may open by June.
Amusement parks are in the man's blood. His dad had his park, his brother has one in Omaha, Neb., and some of his relatives operate one in Denver, Colo.
MOVING DIRT: Work underway on Friendswood doctor's amusement park
The park will feature a Main Street area that will house both the vintage 1960 steam engine locomotive and the more modern-looking diesel locomotives he owns. There will be a vintage carousel, shipped from Boston, which is being polished, repainted and refinished. There will also be a skating rink open year round.

Today, I met Lodi High football coach Robert Sperling. And I asked him what he thought about the re-assembled football gauntlet: the Tri-Cities Athletic League.
"It's like the SEC," he told me. "It's loaded."
He couldn't be more right.
The TCAL includes two schools each from Stockton, Tracy and Lodi this year, with defending champion Tracy, Stockton's St. Mary's and Lincoln and Lodi's Tokay as the four that should battle for the top spot.
Tracy's got one of the best tailbacks in the section in Nate Jones, Tokay will get UCLA-bound WR L.J. Reed (Cosumnes Oaks transfer) likely halfway through the year, St. Mary's is loaded as always and Lincoln has a ton of returning talent, and looks big, strong and mean.
With that in mind, here's a look at the top returning players in the TCAL, with at least one – but not limited to one – entry from each team.
Here's a look at my top SJAA returners from Monday.
RB – NATE JONES (Tracy, Sr.)
Jones, the 5-foot-7, 170-pound force, has been listed as a tailback to watch in the state of California, by Cal-Hi Sports. Now that's saying something.
As a junior, Jones was instrumental in guiding the Bulldogs to a 10-2 record overall and a 5-0 mark to win the TCAL. Tracy routed Edison to open the section playoffs before taking a beating of its own against Jesuit.
Jones had 113 carries for 1,174 yards – that's an average of 10.39 yards per carry, folks – with 19 TDs.
LB – JOEY PATINO (Tokay, Sr.)
Patino was a beast for the Tigers, with 69 tackles and a crucial 6.5 sacks. He's one of several talented defensive returners and seems like he can stop the run and rush the passer effectively.
Look for Patino to team up with Jose Villanueva and Bradley Kazmierczak to lead the Tokay defense.
LB – KHALIL HODGE (St. Mary's, Sr.)
Hodge is one of several D-I prospects in this league, and has already received an offer from D-I FCS Sacramento State, he said. He stands at about 6-1, 225 pounds, according to last year's MaxPreps roster, and had 102 tackles, second-best on the team, with two interceptions and 1.5 sacks.
St. Mary's looked massive when I saw them practice, and Hodge should be a menace on the TCAL this season.
RB – CHANCE TRAMMELL (Lodi, Sr.)
Four-year varsity football players are special, and Trammell certainly can and should be for the Flames this year.
As a junior, Trammell had 84 carries for 558 yards and three touchdowns, through the eight games reported on MaxPreps.
He'll need to lead Lodi at linebacker too.
WR – MARK RUSSELL (Lincoln, Sr.)
From everything I'm hearing, the Trojans senior wideout will be a great target for quarterback Colby Dickson. Lincoln coach Brian Gray is excited about the returning talent on this team, which includes most of last year's major contributors.
Russell and the Trojans have only a couple games worth of stats reported on MaxPreps for 2013.
WR – ALLEN WARD (Tokay, Sr.)
Ward was instrumental in the Tigers' 8-3 run in 2013, hauling in 26 catches for 548 yards – a team-high – and eight touchdowns.
Once he's teamed up with Reed in midseason, the Tigers' offense could be scary. That's a nice situation for quarterback Grayson Dillon to say the least.
WR – DEMETRIUS FERGUSON (St. Mary's, Sr.)
Ferguson is another D-I prospect like Hodge, Rams coach Tony Franks told me, and had 30 catches for 529 yards and four touchdowns as a junior.
Look for him and quarterback Noah Righetti to develop a great chemistry as the season moves along.
RB – CHANCE WILSON (West, Sr.)
The Wolfpack's stats were incomplete on MaxPreps, so it was difficult to place who would be their best returners.
However, in the four games registered for Wilson, he had 37 carries for 163 yards – averaging four-and-a-half yards per carry. He'll need to be a beast for West to rebound and stay tough in the TCAL.
DL – JORDAN MCMILLER (Lincoln, Sr.)
The Trojans' four-man front should be one of the team's major strongpoints, led by the veteran McMiller.
NOAH RIGHETTI (St. Mary's QB)
ANTHONY JORY (Lodi LB)
JACOB ALVARADO (Tracy SS/RB)
COLBY DICKSON (Lincoln QB)
GRAYSON DILLON (Tokay QB)
NOTE: Tokay's Reed is not included on this list because he is not a Tokay returner, he's just a returner to the varsity level.

Rosalie Mushta is trying, really trying, to figure out this swaddling thing. She has a plastic doll to practice on, but the baby blanket just won't cooperate.

Oooh! That's fascinating! Way to think outside the box-I need to open my mind to all kinds of possibilities like this. I just think "I love my doctor/clinic (and they are convenient), do what they say", but really, it's best to investigate all kinds of options. I think that's amazing that your embryos have become more mature this way! Really, really amazing and exciting! I know you are not "there" yet, but I'm thrilled for your progress so far...thanks for sharing!

Researchers from Indiana University's Center for Health Policy and Professionalism Research (CHPPR) have found that the "repeal" question may be less about actual policy goals than originally thought.
Since the passage of the health care reform legislation by Congress this past March 2010, there has been a loud outcry to repeal the legislation and to use this sentiment as a rallying cry for the 2010 midterm elections. A survey conducted April 6 – 10 by CHPPR researchers has found that indeed a majority of Americans are in favor of repealing the legislation (58%). At first glance this finding may seem to tell a very clear story, but results from other portions of the survey demonstrate that the "repeal" question may be less about actual policy goals than originally thought and instead may be more about party identification or support. Repeal is favored by 96 percent of Republicans and 54 percent of Independents, but only 10% of Democrats.
Many have assumed that those advocating for repeal wanted Congress to take no further action on health care reform. However, this survey found that 48 percent of Americans actually would like for Congress to continue working on health care system reforms as opposed to focusing on other topics. In fact, the survey found that 63 percent of those individuals who supported repealing the legislation also were in favor of Congress continuing to work on health care system reforms.
When asked how important they thought it was for Congress to work on "establishment of a public option that would give individuals a choice between government provided health insurance or private health insurance," 67 percent of Americans rated this as an important topic to address. This finding is even more striking given the fact that 59 percent of those in favor of repealing the health care reform legislation rated the public option as important to pursue. Another surprise is that 67 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of Independents also agreed that the public option was an important topic to be addressed by Congress.
Priorities for the Current Legislative Session
Besides gauging public support for the repeal of the health care legislation, another goal of the survey was to determine how the American public would like to see Congress focus their time in the upcoming legislative session. The American public was asked to rate on a scale of 0 (Not at all important) to 5 (extremely important) how important they felt it was for Congress to address the following issues:
· Addressing climate change
· Reducing the federal deficit
· Reforming regulation of the financial system
· Immigration reform
· Medical malpractice system reforms
· Pharmaceutical industry reforms
The survey demonstrated overwhelming support, regardless of political affiliation, for Congress addressing the reduction of the federal deficit as well as for reforming regulation of the financial system. Falling lowest on the list of issues was addressing climate change with only 32 percent of Americans finding this to be an issue that was important to address.
Bottom Line
It may be that the repeal question is more of a surrogate for whether people support the platform of the Republican party, rather than it being indicative of how they want Congress to devote its time. Further work is needed to see if this is true or not. To that end, CHPPR will be conducting a follow-up to this survey to attempt to answer this question.
Survey Methodology and Full Report
Market Strategies International conducted the survey on behalf of CHPPR and the CBE during the period between April 6 and April 10, 2010. A total of 600 adults, ages 18 and older, living in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia responded to this survey. The margin of sampling error for results based on the total sample is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

* U.S. central bank downplays Q1 economic weakness
* Apple slips after surprise dip in iPhone sales
* Delphi soars after spinoff announcement
* Dow up 0.01 pct, S&P down 0.21 pct, Nasdaq down 0.5 pct (Updates with late afternoon trading)
By Lewis Krauskopf
May 3 (Reuters) - Wall Street kept losses on Wednesday after the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates unchanged following its two-day policy meeting, and as investors digested another heavy round of earnings reports.
The U.S. central bank downplayed weak first-quarter economic growth and emphasized the strength of the labor market, in a sign it could tighten monetary policy as early as June. Investors are betting on a 65-percent chance of a hike in June, according to Thomson Reuters data.
The S&P financial sector, which is seen benefiting in a rising rate environment, was up 0.5 percent after the Fed's bullish statement, leading all groups. Eight of the 11 major sectors were lower, however.
The Fed is in its first tightening cycle in more than a decade after it spent years keeping rates near zero to help the economy following the 2007-2009 recession.
"The Fed is communicating its mantra of gradual rate hikes," said Ryan Sweet, senior economist at Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pennsylvania. "The next time they will likely raise rates would be June."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.54 points, or 0.01 percent, to 20,951.43, the S&P 500 lost 5.14 points, or 0.21 percent, to 2,386.03 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 30.57 points, or 0.5 percent, to 6,064.79.
The benchmark S&P 500 has returned to near its all-time high during an earnings season that generally come in above expectations.
First-quarter profits at S&P 500 companies are estimated to increase 14.2 percent, its strongest growth since 2011, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Apple shares fell 0.4 percent, weighing on indexes, but recovering from steeper losses after the company's quarterly report, in which it reported a surprise fall in iPhone sales.
In other corporate news, Sprint shares slid 13.5 percent after the U.S. wireless carrier did not give specifics on deals it would pursue, even as its quarterly loss narrowed.
Delphi Automotive shares jumped 9.3 percent after the company said it plans to spin off operations tied to internal combustion engines and focus on technology for electrically powered and self-driving vehicles. The stock was the biggest percentage gainer in the S&P 500.
The New York Times Co rose 12.2 percent after the newspaper publisher reported its biggest quarterly revenue growth in six year.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.83-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.22-to-1 ratio favored decliners.
The S&P 500 posted 30 new 52-week highs and 7 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 78 new highs and 65 new lows. (Additional reporting by Richard Leong in New York and Tanya Agrawal in Bengaluru; Editing by Savio D'Souza and Nick Zieminski)

HackThisSite.org News: RIP First Amendment - Dec 15, 1791 - May 10, 2013
HackThisSite Staff
, 09:05 pm Tuesday May 14th, 2013
Mark serious note of those dates in your calendars, for they are the respective birth and death dates of the entire
First Amendment to the United States Constitution
. She somberly lived a beaten, battered, and abused 221 years, and she will be sorely missed. Normally, we do not report on the near-daily atrocities and affronts to civil rights unless they impact you digitally (eg.
, and so forth). However, due to her last breath drawn, we are making a special exception today to mourn the passing of our dearly departed First Amendment.
"How did she die?", you may ask yourself. Well, in order to answer this question, we must analyze the law in its entirety:
No law respecting the establishment of religion
" - The first part of the First Amendment clearly states that the United States is
a Christian nation, nor a nation of any religion whatsoever. This was further supported by
of the United States, including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, and George Washington himself. Furthermore, the international
Treaty of Tripoli of 1797
codified this in law. However, during the mid-1950's in the height of tension from the
Red Scare
, the United States responded to communism fears by forcing the establishment of
, not to mention
attempts as well.
Freedom of speech
" - The second part of the First Amendment was intended to protect the rights of people to speak without fear of reprisal. We really do not need to exemplify how this has been dismantled since effectively day-one of its existence.
College campuses
nationwide notoriously attack free speech as a commonplace ritual, and
the ACLU
was created in 1920 almost exclusively to combat free speech violations.
The right to peaceably assemble and petition the government
" - The fourth and fifth parts of the First Amendment were created as likely the two most important parts of the entire Bill of Rights at the time. The British crown was attempting to reclaim the colonies as theirs, stating that the citizens were traitors and treasonous for speaking out against the royal family and parliament. The founders of the United States saw these vile acts as tyrannical and opted to ensure their country would never do such things against its citizens -- that is until
pissed off the wrong people, rendering these parts of the First Amendment wholly impotent. As Voltaire put it, "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
And now we reach the final nail in the First Amendment's coffin, and the reason behind this news article ...
Freedom of the press
" - The third part of the First Amendment was designed to ensure that the press could act as those who, in effect, "watch the watchmen" without restriction or hindrance. For over 200 years, this part of the First Amendment was essentially considered sacrosanct. Normally, in the rare instances that the government felt the need to violate this, they would first inform the involved news agencies and negotiate the most minimal amount of information the government could have while protecting the anonymity of the press sources. However,
as of May 10th, 2013,
that is no longer the case
. On that day, the Justice Department wantonly rendered obsolete 221 years of jurisprudence of free press, and even went so far as to refuse to acknowledge whether any other federal statutes or laws were honored in the process.
Woe, for on this doleful and dreary day, we mourn the loss of our dearly beloved First Amendment. You served us well for 221 years, and you will be regretfully missed.
Rest in peace.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Whether it's your first go around, or you've been sending your child off to school for years, the start of each school year is still an exciting time.
"The first day back is always exciting because kids are pumped and wondering about new classmates, checking the list for friends."
Dozens of eager parents and students wait at West Hills Elementary for the start of a new school year, and, for many, it's a nervous feeling of firsts.
Mother Kelly Moseley has become somewhat of a pro.
"We've been this route several times, but it's always an exciting time."
With a fourth grader and a high schooler, sending her children off that first day of class has certainly gotten easier, but the excitement level hasn't changed a bit.
"My son wanted to know if there were any cute girls in his class, or if his teacher was going to be nice or mean, so it's always exciting -- a little of the unknown."
For John Stafford, it's a lot of the unknown. His little girl, Savannah, isn't so little any more now that she's headed off to middle school for the first time.
"The first day of middle. No elementary school, so she is growing up, and it's sad for me and her mother."
But it's not so sad for Savannah, who's read for some change.
"Moving around from class to class instead of being in the same room."
Excited or scared, we did find some common ground between parent and child on the first day back to school.
"I don't like getting up early but that's part of it," Kelly Moseley says.
In case you're looking ahead, the last day of school in Knox County is May 22.

Warren Buffett has an op-ed calling for higher taxes on the rich that has been sent to me by just about every liberal I know, every liberal I've ever heard of and, I understand, was found in alien radio transmissions detected by the revived SETI network.
I'm hesitant to disagree with a titan of finance like Buffett. And, in fact, if you push aside the class warfare gibberish and straw manning of the opposition, I think he makes some valid points:
Last year my federal tax bill — the income tax I paid, as well as payroll taxes paid by me and on my behalf — was $6,938,744. That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income — and that's actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent.
The mega-rich pay income taxes at a rate of 15 percent on most of their earnings but pay practically nothing in payroll taxes. It's a different story for the middle class: typically, they fall into the 15 percent and 25 percent income tax brackets, and then are hit with heavy payroll taxes to boot.
What he's dancing around is that we tax people a *lot* less for flipping money around than working. If you're a doctor making six figures saving people's lives, you're taxed at a marginal rate of 33%, plus state taxes and payroll taxes. But if you make money on credit default swaps, stock market gambling and housing flips, you're taxed between 15-20% with no payroll tax. We conservatives always say that incentives matter. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see why so many of our best and brightest have moved from making and building and doing things to playing with money and wrecking the economy.
Buffet also debunks a talking point I've grown tired of. The argument that the rich are taxed too much is based on what percentage of income tax they pay versus what percent of income they take. However, this fails to account for all taxes, specifically capital gains taxes.
However, Buffett isn't completely in Earth orbit. He complains about the payroll tax not applying to the rich. But first off, the Medicare tax does apply to the rich, at least for income. And second, the Social Security tax is capped because benefits are capped. You can remove that cap if you want (and give us a gigantic marginal rate) but you then have to stop pretending Social Security is anything but a welfare system.
But the biggest problem with Buffett's article is his laser-like focus on the "mega-rich". He ignores that, for Democrats, "the rich" start at $250,000 and most of the "rich" are closer to $250,000 than they are to $10 million. Of course the mega-rich will be fine no matter what the tax system does. They'll buy enough Congressmen to create loopholes and exemptions for them (Buffett himself is heavily invested in "green" technologies which are getting tax benefits). It is the "not-so-mega-rich" who are most sensitive to tax policy.
To wit: Buffett does not mention the AMT at all, which is a huge regulatory and financial burden on the not-so-rich. He says nothing about the small business that drive the economy, many of which pay taxes as individuals and many of which are about to get hammered by PPACA taxes. He conspicuously fails to mention Sarbanes-Oxley, which may a bigger burden on our system than taxes. And he fails to note that the higher marginal rates of the past were leavened with huge tax shelters which benefited … the mega-rich like Warren Buffett. He also doesn't talk about the inheritance tax, which can hit small business very hard. Ted Frank has claimed that one of the ways Berkshire-Hathaway makes money is by buying business that have to sell because of the inheritance tax.
In short, this crosses me as a very rich person arguing for a tax system that will hit him, but hit the competition harder. Haven't we danced that dance enough times?
The more we debate tax policy, the more something along the lines of Simpson-Bowles looks like a smart idea. Eliminate as many loopholes, deductions and exemptions as possible; eliminate the distinction between capital gains, stock income and earned income; lower the marginal rates into the 20's. This would bring more revenue to the Feds while minimizing the tax burden on investors and business owners. And it would especially do it without knee-capping those who compete with Warren Buffett.

Spotlight on Guillaume Latendresse: Pt. 2by Staff Writer / Montréal Canadiens
With his rookie season under his belt, Guillaume Latendresse took the time to answer some questions to give fans the chance to know a little more about him.
How did you feel after scoring your first NHL goal and what did you do with the puck? It was sort of a split feeling because at first we didn't know if the goal was going to be awarded to Saku or me. I gave the puck to the trainer but haven't seen it yet.
What was your first impression when you stepped on to the ice for your first NHL game? It was really incredible. To see the crowd, all those fans at the start of the game. It was pretty unbelievable.
How did you adapt to the NHL after playing in the QMJHL? There was plenty of adapting. Traveling on planes instead of buses. Being recognized everywhere you go. There were as many adjustments on-ice as there were off it, but they're the kind of adaptations that you enjoy.
Of all the cities you visited this season, which arena impressed you the most? I'd have to say TD Banknorth Garden in Boston. With the rivalry between the Canadiens and Bruins, it always makes for a good game. Both their fans and ours know their hockey, so that always makes for a good atmosphere.
What do you eat most often before a game? Good ol'spaghetti. We're told from a young age that we should have pasta before a game.
Even though you've been playing hockey since you were very young, what surprised you in your first year in the NHL? I was more or less prepared for everything that happened this year. Having grown up in Montreal and followed the Canadiens as a kid, nothing really surprised me.
What was the first number you ever wore? I used to wear No. 5 when I played MAGH 2. I didn't want to wear again because now that I look back on it, it wasn't a great number.
Which NHL goalie would you be most proud to score against? Like many Quebec hockey players, I'd have to say Martin Brodeur. It hasn't happened yet but it would really be something if it happened in the near future.
What's your favorite music group? I don't really have a favorite group but I really like Quebec music.
Do you have a pre-game ritual? No, not really. I'm not superstitious like that. I just go with the flow.

Reading owner Anton Zingarevich has confirmed Pavel Pogrebnyak has a release clause in his contract.
Now Reading have been relegated it seems likely that Pogrebnyak, as one of the club's highest earners, could leave.
"There's a clause in his contract which allows him to leave Reading if the club was relegated," Zingarevich told Rossiiskaya Gazeta.
"Regarding his five goals, Pogrebnyak can be blamed the least. Yes, he couldn't score some chances but the team couldn't create a single chance for him during some games.
"Pavel is considered to be a dependent and a strong striker in England."
