If you ride a route regularly, you have a chance to take advantage of things "visiting" cyclists and motorists don't know.
The reference point is one such advantage. The photo is Old Denton Road, Looking West along the Alliance Gateway Freeway (AGF), in the furthest northern reaches of Fort Worth.
By timing, I've learned it takes a minimum of six seconds for a motor vehicle to make it from the circled sign to Old Denton Highway. It takes a hair less than five seconds (a half second less if I downshifted while stopping for the stop sign) for me to cross that same road. I don't go if cars are past the reference point, unless it's clear they're not going to be in that LH lane when I'm crossing it. As a result, I've been able to safely go many times when motorists were unsure. Lots of times, those motorists will be waiting minutes after I've crossed and even when I make my left turn onto AGF. From this post, I learned my lesson and I'm not going to do a lot of red and green arrows on this post.
It really pays to know how much time you've got to do a maneuver. Knowing such trivia has resulted in an average reduction in my commute time of well over a minute. Lower stress, too (no humorous comments about "a-r" engineers allowed for this post).
Thinking about this, I'll have to add a third future "parking lot" post to the "to do" list. The third one will have you green with envy. Think Cabela's, the World's Foremost Outfitter.

An ageing, though sprightly Steven Herrick finds challenges and plenty of good food while cycling the Murray to the Mountains track.
What is it about middle-age men and bicycles? A desire to retrieve lost youth? A passion for Lycra and fingerless gloves? Are bicycles the trainer wheels before graduating to Harleys?
My bike buddy on this trip shakes his head and tells me to pedal faster. I suck it in and dream of the carbohydrate-heavy lunch that awaits 52 kilometres away in Myrtleford. Suitably attired in Tour de Old Fart jerseys, lathered in sunscreen, and dusted lightly with baby powder for (ahem) chafing, we chug through the wide streets of Beechworth searching for the start of this section of the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail.
Catering to all levels of cyclists, the trail is a far-sighted initiative of three shire councils to reuse the abandoned local train lines linking the towns of north-eastern Victoria. The iron tracks have been resumed for scrap metal, the sleepers sold for firewood, and the rolling stock rests in a rail museum in Bright.
Along the trail, each railway siding has been artfully designed to resemble a steam locomotive (use your imagination) providing walkers and cyclists with shade, tank water and toilet facilities. If only we could find the path out of Beechworth.
An embarrassing two kilometres into our journey, we stop for coffee and ask directions. We've already ridden past the trailhead twice, it seems.
Once on the path, we're like men possessed - gears clanking, cleats clicking, thighs pumping. We power downhill through the narrow railway cutting, rabbits and swamp wallabies darting out from the undergrowth to keep us on alert. I resist the urge to stop and pick the blackberries growing wild beside the trail as we plunge on into Everton.
Our wives are spending the day sampling the treats of the Milawa gourmet region by car, while bike buddy and I challenge each other to 40-kilometre-an-hour sprints on the flat sections. "Time trials, just like the Tour de France," he ventures.
We push onwards through undulating pastures of dairy farms and vineyards, swapping stories of mountains we'd like to ride up, tours to follow, carbon-fibre bikes to buy.
Old Holdens rust in a paddock beside the path. Is that the two-tone EK sedan with column-shift and bench seats of my teenage years? Bike buddy scoffs, preferring to catalogue the native birds who seem to have an agreement with the regional tourist board to flutter along this path during daylight hours.
A man picking wild berries signals our arrival in Myrtleford and suggests the Butter Factory cafe for cycle-friendly meals. The owners have recently restored the factory and now churn out door-stop slabs of butter and pure buttermilk.
Our entree has to be bread and butter. The chef helpfully adds a roast garlic clove and local goat's curd atop fresh Milawa sourdough. Delicious.
When the waitress recommends rabbit and vegie pie for our main course, we nod in agreement, wilfully forgetting the scores of bunnies we'd seen cavorting along the trail.
Belatedly, our wives join us with stories of wine tastings and food samples too many to list. They honour us by sitting at the same table, even though, truth be told, we're displaying the signs of too many failed attempts to reach 50km/h during our rash time trials.
An hour later, we lumber back into the saddle for the final leisurely section to Bright. The name of the first creek we cross says it all. Happy Valley.
For the last 30 kilometres, we cycle beside hop farms and vineyards, occasionally stopping to pick worm-filled apples from the overhanging trees. We toss them into the fields for the tourist-board-contracted birdlife.
Until 2006, this section of the Ovens Valley grew tobacco. All that remains now are the Druid-shaped drying kilns of corrugated iron, curiously arranged in threes beside the path.
As we start to fade at the 70-kilometre mark, Boynton's Feathertop Winery comes into view, nestled seductively into the hill. Bike buddy miraculously finds another gear and races up to the front entrance, hanging his bike on the racks just outside the door before striding into the tasting area. Strategically placing his helmet and gloves on the counter, he says, "We're trying today, buying tomorrow." Guilt-free tasting!
After quaffing the range from sauvignon blanc to shiraz, we order coffee and lemon meringue pie and contemplate the rigours of staying upright in the saddle for the last 10 kilometres.
All thoughts of time trials and mountain climbs evaporate. Boynton's thoughtfully offer a wine delivery service to local accommodation for cases bought by cyclists.
For those too knackered to continue, there's a spacious light-filled apartment for holiday rentals directly above the winery.
Eschewing such luxury, we cycle slowly into Bright, stopping for the obligatory photo opportunity at the iconic Rail Trail Cafe, followed by a quick criterium of the rail museum.
Now where are the wives? Bike buddy shrugs, "Don't worry, there's a train line around here somewhere."

Basis Watch Is Step Up in Trackers: Rich Jaroslovsky
Forget about the struggle for eyeballs, or mindshare. The real body-part battleground these days is your wrist.
The last year has seen an explosion in wearable devices designed to monitor your activities and sleep, and urge you on to healthier habits: the Jawbone UP, Nike+ FuelBand and Larklife, to name three recent examples.
Now a new entrant in the sweepstakes has upped the ante. It's the Basis B1, a band that tracks everything the others do, tracks some things they don't, and tells time, too.
Most activity trackers are built around a motion sensor called an accelerometer, the same thing that detects when you turn your smartphone sideways. In a fitness band, it can measure things like the number of steps and, through body movements, how long and how deeply you sleep.
The Basis, which costs $199, has one of those. But it also has an array of other sensors on the back of the watch to monitor your heart rate, perspiration and skin temperature throughout the day and night, allowing for more detailed data.
The information is combined with an easy-to-use website and soon, the company promises, mobile apps to provide tracking and continuous encouragement.
Fashion Statement
While the Basis won't be mistaken for a fashion statement, it isn't much more obtrusive than a conventional digital watch. The sensor module is black, but it comes in a choice of black or white wristbands, and is light enough to be worn comfortably day and night. (The company has plans for more stylish bands a bit down the road.)
Since it's water-resistant, you can wear it in the shower or when washing dishes. About the only times it needs to come off are when you're swimming or using the included proprietary bracket that connects to a Windows PC or Mac USB port to upload data and charge the watch.
While you'll get the most out of the band if you sync and recharge it once a day, the company says a charge will last four days, and the device can store up to seven days of data.
The game-like website is integral to the device. Through it, you establish healthy targets that, as you achieve them, award you points that you use to unlock ever-more challenging goals.
Basis started me out with the lowest of goals, awarding me points simply for keeping the watch on. I then set up a few myself: taking at least 6,000 steps a day, for one, and trying to adopt a consistent, reasonable bedtime, for another. (No more 11 p.m. "Seinfeld" reruns.)
Additional Targets
As I began to meet those targets, I was able to establish additional ones: moving around more during the day, burning more calories and the like. Tapping the watch's screen gave me real- time updates on how I was doing.
But the Basis is about more than just goals. Once I uploaded a few days of data, I could take deeper dives into my information to find patterns.
For example, while the watch isn't a substitute for a dedicated heart monitor for cardio activities, I was able to compare the levels of exertion between a circuit-training workout Saturday and a stationary-bike session Sunday.
I also learned I get more sleep than I thought -- perhaps because the Basis, unlike competing devices, is smart enough to sense when I doze off and doesn't have to be manually set in a sleep mode.
Welcome Companion
Though I generally found the watch a welcome companion, the screen could be hard to read when I just wanted a quick glance at the time. And it lacks the silent-alarm feature found on the Jawbone UP and Larklife, among others, that awakens you by vibrating without rousing a still-sleeping partner.
I also sometimes received error messages when I attempted to upload data from the watch, even though the transfer was successful. (The error messages appeared in both the Windows and Mac versions of the software.)
The principal shortcoming is the lack of mobile apps, which the company says will be soon remedied: It's promising delivery for phones using Google's Android operating system next month, and for Apple's iOS shortly thereafter. When they launch, the watch -- which is equipped with Bluetooth -- should be able to wirelessly transfer your data without need for the bracket-to- computer connection.
The market for wearable technology is just getting started. There will be more wellness gadgets, smartphone companions like the much-buzzed-about Pebble watch, and, if you believe the speculation, even a new Apple device all competing for wrist space.
Good thing we've got two of them.

49ers LB Patrick Willis vs Ravens FB Vonta Leach
Willis is ready to accept Lewis' mantle as the top inside linebacker in the NFL. He had 120 tackles this season, 88 of those solo. If the Ravens are to run the football, Leach has to clear the way. Earlier in the week, Willis suggested that Leach "bring it." Be careful what you ask for. Leach train wrecks players for a living. Edge: Ravens

Pot up Some Spring!
It's time! Time to get your containers out from the garage or basement, wash them with a bleach solution, and get ready to plant. Here in South Dakota, you'll probably have to wait until the middle of May to put them outdoors, but your planning can start now. Spring annuals, perennials, and grasses are stocked and waiting for you.
Containers offer interest to any area that they're placed in. Whether entryway, patio, or deck the design of your home is enhanced. If you live in a townhome or apartment, balcony railings hold window boxes that can be planted with draping vines or kitchen herbs.
Containers come in various sizes and materials. The choice of cement, terracotta, resin, or bamboo is up to you. Unique containers can be anything from vintage watering can, a bicycle basket, or a pair of rain boots.
Plant colors can be vibrant with reds, oranges, and yellows. Or monochromatic with combinations of pale green, white, and silver. Don't be afraid to color up a shady spot with a pot of coleus. While containers of spikes and geraniums offer a tradional look, grasses and succulents are interesting options. And tomatoes are becoming quite the popular patio plant!
Choose plants with the same sun or shade and watering requirement. Specifically designed potting mix will include fertilizer and water retention benefits while being light enough for plant growth.
Whether you garden alone or with a buddy, grab a container and pot up some Spring!

I cycle (offroad) and play hockey. And I notice often that I get 10 minutes into a ride (or a game) and I get this starving hungry weak feeling, not like I am going to pass out, but like my energy is being sapped quickly. My performance suffers, I tough it out and keep going, Thing is it does not happen all of the time.
Most of my rides and all of the games are in the evening, I am wondering if I am not eating properly or there is something I should avoid. I try to eat a carbohydrate oriented meal 2 hours before, with a light snack just before the activity; maybe some oatmeal, and get lots of water. Is that good enough?
Seens silly, but not sure what to do about it, any suggestions. What do you eat in on ride day and what is the timing.

Except Votto,Bruce,and Phillips ,I believe he is the most valuable everyday player on the Reds.I also think he is the most undervalued and underpaid player in baseball.I also believe we misuse his bat,by keeping him batting 8th in the lineup.
I think his skills are comparable to Yadier Molina's .Molina makes 96 mil for 10 years.Hanigan makes 4 mil for 3 years.Baker's reluctance to bat him anywhere except 7th or 8th(no matter your opinion) I believe suppresses his batting potential.
It amazes me he hasn't gone to arbitration.Can he file for arbitration ,even though he has a contract?

Internal-Frame vs. External-Frame Packs
A question of style, comfort, and functionality
The fight between internal frame and external frame backpacks is often considered to be a pretty one-sided battle by many outdoor enthusiasts. It seems that internal frames have most of the advantages - such as weight, stability, and maneuverability. However, even though internal frame packs are by far the most popular, there are still some people who prefer the underdog, external frame style when embarking on an outdoors trip.
Internal Frame Backpack
An internal frame backpack is popular because it uses a hidden metal (usually aluminum) or composite frame that supports the packbag from the inside. The frame is used to help place the weight on your hips, which is where your body can most effectively carry it.
Internal frame backpacks are used for all types of packs such as alpine backpacks, expedition/travel backpacks, backpacking backpacks, and so on. This is because they're ideal for mountaineering, skiing, camping, canoeing, scrambling and hiking in all types of terrain.
An internal backpack has a narrow profile, which is generally behind the shoulder harness. The frame usually consists of flat, V-shaped aluminum bars, (stays) which are about an inch wide and 1/8-inch thick. The stays give the frame some stiffness, but it still has some flexibility which allows the pack to move well with your body movements. Because these packs are slimmer you have more room to maneuver your arms for skiing and climbing, etc.
An internal frame backpack will also hold the load closer to your natural center of gravity, which is important for keeping your balance. The load is kept stable by compression straps which are used to cinch down the load and to keep individual articles bunched together. You can also adjust an internal model pretty easily as the shoulder harness and hip belt can be adjusted precisely.
External-Frame Backpacks
An external frame backpack is designed to connect a packbag to a rigid aluminum tube frame. These types of backpacks were used almost exclusively until internal-frame designs challenged them the late 1970s. These types of backpacks are mainly used for carrying heavy loads along trails as they are quite rigid and strong. They are pretty hard to carry over rough terrain. These packs are generally heavier than internals, however lightweight models are available. External backpacks usually come with a lot of pockets for easy gear distribution and organization.
One benefit with an external model is the fact there is more open space between the frame and you back for better ventilation. You can also expand the load more easily on an external frame by attaching extra bags to the frame.
With all of the advantages of an internal frame it's probably safe to say that it's the champion of backpacks and it's pretty unlikely the external frame is going to be able to give it a serious challenge for backpacking supremacy anytime soon.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross published a new blog entry on JrsBarBq.com. Here are some highlights.
Charlotte's in-ring debut: "Ric Flair was on hand to see his athletic daughter, Charlotte, make her in ring debut and Charlotte did well for her first outing. She's approximately a 6 footer who has a viable upside."
The Wyatt Family: "The Wyatt Family had a strong night and they are ready for a successful entry into the WWE sooner than later. Luke Harper had an especially physical and solid match with WWE Superstar Sheamus on one of the taped programs."
The WWE Performance Center: "The new, WWE Performance Center will officially open on Thursday July 11 which is also the next time we tape NXT at Full Sail. This grand opening is not open to the public and will be via invitation only to the media and a variety of WWE business partners, etc.
"The Performance Center begins a new era in the development of WWE talents that is truly exciting. I went through the facility again last week and it is amazing. There is not a NFL training facility that exceeds what WWE has done with this facility. With that said, the training of these future WWE Superstars will be amped up and the expectations raised not only for the athletes but for the coaches as well."

I did not know Microsoft won that battle.
Won what battle? There is no battle. They just managed to get their key into the hardware manufacturers and happen to conveniently sell access to that. Nothing stops anyone else from doing the same.
Hahahahaha. The rich and poor are equally prohibited from sleeping under bridges... Free-market ideology induced brain damage at its best. Or was this sarcasm? Then I am sorry.
Well that's how the CA business work; just that in this case it's about hardware manufacturers, not browser/OS vendors. I don't think it's a good idea from a security perspective since it trusts things by default, and can have really bad consequences when a CA is compromised. But that's how it work for now.
I did not know Microsoft won that battle.
well.. won and won.. they kind of lost if they had to start accepting shim loaders. kind of defeats the whole point.
For now.
They dont 'have' to accept shim loaders. They are doing so for now, to minimise the backlash. There's no assurance they'll continue to do so in future, or (more likely) that they won't start imposing onerous requirements in the name of 'security' like mandating that any qualifying bootloader be incapable of loading an OS that allows unsigned drivers.
Microsoft wants to stop root kits. They want to be able to offer secure environments for DRM content. Microsoft doesn't care about people who want to boot Linux at all. So they are fine signing those because that customer base will self support on root kits. Where is the conflict? That only defeats the point if you start by assuming that Microsoft was lying about their intentions. If you start by assuming that everyone was telling the truth and there is no big conspiracy then it is perfectly fine.
who dont have or build motherboards that can disable EUFI. Seems to me like there's a great market for non EUFI mother boards that can target Linux/Unix users.
Well you can just turn the feature off, if your board has it and it happens to be turned on.
Linux is often blessed with security when properly setup. Continuing on that path involves being part of UEFI. The reason they want it to be signed is so they can operate on secure systems that do not allow access to the bios to simply disable UEFI and boot any OS on that system.
Conceptually would be for secure locations that normal PC access is restricted, and do not want uncontrolled software booted to bypass their existing OS security, gaining access to the network and so fourth.
It's more obvious if some
Conceptually, if the user has access physical access to the computer and the ability to plug shit in, your security is already gone.
Conceptually, 99.99% of computer users don't even need this kind of security in the first place, so why is it being forced on 100% of the new computers?
Conceptually UEFI won't stop a single virus which 100% of computer users face daily, and that IS a problem.
UEFI serves one and only one purpose. It makes it 'easier' to just continue using Windows and more difficult to use any other system.
Linux doesn't need UEFI. Nobody needs UEFI.
Stopped shilling lipstick on a pig.
Replace "UEFI" with "Secure Boot" (there is a difference... EFI alone is not a major problem) and I agree 100% with you. While I'm not so sure UEFI is much better than the BIOS aside from a few limits lifted, the real problem is Microsoft's Secure Boot, which is an optional part of UEFI and being forced onto all ARM machines (thanks dicks, I mean Microsoft). Eventually, it will probably make its way to anything else Windows touches with no way to turn it off (x86?).
Nobody needs UEFI
That's bullshit. I need UEFI. BIOS only allows a very limited set of space (384K) for hardware device BIOSes. I've hit that limit, as does most server admins because high performance devices use that space up very quickly. There is numerous other advantages to UEFI, but you'd need to take off your tin foil hat and actually learn about it for you to understand it. That or build a server. Then you'll be crying about why stuff doesn't work and how stupid BIOS really is and why there isn't something bette
Conceptually would be for secure locations that normal PC access is restricted, and do not want uncontrolled software booted to bypass their existing OS security, gaining access to the network and so fourth.
Well, good luck with your rescue CD if it doesn't boot!
Conceptually, the purpose of secure boot is to keep unwanted operating system software secure from the user (rather than keeping the user safe from malicious software) and preserve a quasi-monopoly for Microsoft. Hopfeully, there will be EU rulings that prohibit current practise.
It's UEFI, the Unified Extensible Firmware interface. EUFI is ExtraUterine Fetal Incubation. Very different things.
The motherboards they are shipping now have a simple disable. So there is no immediate fear of being unable to run Linux on the things. BUT you have to go in and disable it in BIOS which is just completely over the head of most computer users these days. You dont have to make it impossible to deter most people from using it, just a tiny hurdle will divert the herd.
Right now they are signing the certificates without a problem. But what will they do in a year or five or a decade? Building a business that relies on getting certs signed by MS doesnt seem wise long term. Of course no one thinks long term anymore... a small change in the law here, an easily fabricated incident using a signed bootloader to compromise a business there, and they could easily revoke these keys.
The other problem is that UEFI is actually really cool tech, we dont want to get rid of it. We want to be able to use it. I should be able to install my own key on my own motherboard so it will only load code that I sign personally. Rather than simply trusting MicroSoft or turning off a great security component that I already paid for and theoretically own.
I do. I am not find UEFI a "cool tech". I find UEFI the same as the old BIOS: totally useless.
When a computer starts it should just bring up the very basic stuff and then handle the boot process to the Operating System. Nothing more. The computer should stay in a state of the BIOS for about 500ms (the quicker the better) after that the Kernel of the System takes over.
Please tell me what I get with UEFI what the current Linux Kernel does not offer.
Just to clarify: UEFI is not the problem. It's just a replacement for the old BIOS system which addresses the decades of accumulated legacy bodging that is the PC. Secure Boot is a feature that UEFI enables. You can have UEFI without Secure Boot.
Or you can have a BIOS that addresses the decades of accumulated legacy bodging that is the PC, without UEFI.
Just put a BIOS that removes all the old cruft of the old BIOS, adds some new features, but is totally minimalistic.
Because in 10 or 20 years UEFI will be like the old BIOS. It will do totally old stuff that nobody wants, and it will not allow new stuff, because of the same reasons of the that the old BIOS have.
The only remedy is to have a totally minimalistic BIOS that puts control as fast as possib
Or you can have a BIOS that addresses the decades of accumulated legacy bodging that is the PC, without UEFI.
Just put a BIOS that removes all the old cruft of the old BIOS, adds some new features, but is totally minimalistic.
That's what UEFI is - it drops old cruft (mainly ISA, AGP and such, IIRC), ups the minimum requirements (UEFI can assume some level of graphics support, so no more MDA text mode; likewise, it no longer runs in 16-bit mode), and extends functionality (booting off 2TB+ drives). They broke compatibility in a few places, but they did so, in part, to speed up boot times by moving functionality from the BIOS/UEFI to the OS.
UEFI, itself, is a big step forward. The only problem is the "Secure Boot", and honestly, the problem is currently theoretical (at least on x86 - ARM is a different story). Secure Boot itself is fine - as long as the user is allowed to add and remove keys, and can enable/disable it, it's at worst unneeded functionality.
UEFI can assume some level of graphics support, so no more MDA text mode
No it can't. Servers will still be restricted to text mode, because out-of-band management is commonly through IPMIv2, which supports text only, not graphics.
It's ironic that Microsoft is getting on-board with text-mode OS for their servers, while at the same time, Linux distros are going the wrong way and forcing GUI installers, using a pointless graphical splash screen for the bootloader, and other nonsense that helps no-one, but scr
Because in 10 or 20 years UEFI will be like the old BIOS. It will do totally old stuff that nobody wants, and it will not allow new stuff, because of the same reasons of the that the old BIOS have.
Of course that's true, but the E in UEFI is an attempt to make it last as long as possible. I'm not sure what's so objectionable about UEFI, though. It is, essentially, "a BIOS that addresses the decades of accumulated legacy bodging that is the PC."
...what is the point of secure boot again? Do we still have problems with MBR viruses?
It's supposed to be a protection against bootloader-infecting rootkits. No-one questions that it can do this, but bootloader-infecting rootkits are incredibly rare things to encounter, and given Microsoft's long history of anticompetative business tactics it isn't hard to imagine their ulterior motive for pushing the technology.
Signing their key is the least Microsoft can do for using large parts of the FeeBSD TCP/IP stack in Windows.
https://lwn.net/Articles/245805/ [lwn.net]
MS has the LICENSE to use BSD code.
They don't owe BSD anything.
Next time you're thinking of whether to license YOUR code using GPL or using something
that allows MS to use your stuff and give nothing back in return... remember this.
You assume BSD is unhappy with this result. They are not...and the problem isn't MS using BSD's "stuff" and not giving anything back to BSD in return, it's not giving anything to YOU in return. BSD got precisely what they wanted in that transaction, you didn't.
Social conventions like owed favors do not exist in the world of business. When billions of dollars are at stake, there is no room to be 'nice.' That's why contracts were invented.
Windows doesn't use any of the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack anymore. It did at one time pre-Windows XP, but it was completely rewritten from the ground up prior to Windows XP, but many of the settings (registry settings) remained the same for compatibility.
Sorry, I just double checked, it was rewritten for Windows NT 3.5, and then carried over to Windows 95. So the FreeBSD stack hasn't been in use for nearly 10 years. Some of the ancillary utilities however, were never rewritten for some time and might have used some FreeBSD code in them. They carried the "Some parts... blah blah...Berkely... blah blah" messages in them.
My bet would be that Microsoft refuses to sign the loader, saying that they can only sign if the loader's coded to only load binaries signed by a trusted authority (ie. Microsoft) and that allowing a loader that can load untrusted (ie. unsigned or not signed by Microsoft) binaries compromises the security of the boot process.
It doesn't work that way. Canonical's shim is signed with Microsoft's key but will only load a Linux kernel signed by Canonical with full boot-time privileges. If the kernel is unsigned it doesn't get access to some UEFI features, they are disabled before starting it. This prevents people from writing "kernels" that are just rootkits which load the Windows 8 kernel up afterwards.
So in fact Microsoft has already signed a shim that can load untrusted code, but on the condition that it does it in a safe way th
Microsoft won't sign a blob that can simply load any kernal, because doing so would defeat the purpose of Secure Boot: An attacker could simply load the linux signed loader with their malicious rootkit and use that.
I've tried both the newest PC-BSD and bsdinstall installers...and they leave a lot to be desired.

The afternoon is open for independent activities such as visiting the Musée d'Orsay with its impressionist paintings. Tonight we dine at a quaint French restaurant before enjoying a spectacular cruise on the Seine River. We glide past illuminated monuments, bridges, buildings and Notre Dame. The evening takes on a magical feel as the Eiffel Tower's golden lacework glows from within against the dramatic night sky. B,D

Make room in your suitcase for a piece of original artwork, a lasting memory that will transport you back to this very location. This evening, our special Farewell Dinner is nothing short of spectacular as we dine on fine French cuisine 58 meters above the streets in the Eiffel Tower. Large bay windows offer stunning views of the city as well as the intricate ironwork of the Eiffel Tower's interior.

30 in 15: Frattin aims for big role with Kingsby Dan Rosen / Los Angeles Kings
NHL.com continues its preview of the 201314 season, which will include in-depth looks at all 30 teams throughout September.
All Matt Frattin wants from the Los Angeles Kings is an opportunity to impress, a chance to establish himself as a full-time NHL player.
He's getting that and much more.
Frattin should start the regular season on a line with Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. It's a dream job for any forward who thinks he's ready to take the next step in his career, and maybe just enough to turn Frattin into one of the Kings' most dangerous scoring threats for the foreseeable future.
"It's the preseason now so definitely they're still juggling lines, but I've been paired with those two [Richards and Carter] the whole time, we've played well and we just have to keep doing what we're doing," Frattin told NHL.com. "Definitely I want to establish myself and this is a great opportunity, a great team to be with."
Frattin's opportunity with the Kings, Carter and Richards didn't come by mistake or happenstance.
Kings general manager Dean Lombardi had been scouting Frattin since he was scoring goals for the University of North Dakota. Frattin said he was told about the opportunity with Carter and Richards almost immediately after the Kings acquired him from the Toronto Maple Leafs on June 23.
The Kings weren't going to re-sign left wing Dustin Penner because Lombardi knew they needed more speed up front. In Frattin, he also knew he would be getting someone who had a quick release and a knack for finding scoring areas.
"He's got some things that are hard to teach," Lombardi told NHL.com.
Lombardi had to give up goalie Jonathan Bernier to get Frattin (and backup goalie Ben Scrivens), but it was a move he had to make.
Bernier was a restricted free agent and keeping him would have been a luxury the Kings could not afford, especially with Jonathan Quick already entrenched as the No. 1 goalie in Los Angeles. Turning Bernier into Frattin might turn out to be a coup for the Kings.
Frattin is 25 years old and had seven goals in 25 games with the Maple Leafs last season. He still hasn't played an 82-game NHL season, but he's shown an ability to score and be a grinder at the same time. He can fill the role Penner had with Carter and Richards by using his strength on the puck and off it to clear space for the two All-Stars, but his speed gives that line a dimension it did not previously have.
"First off, he's exceptionally well-trained, which allows him to really utilize his skill set," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "He's got really good hands and he can really skate. Those are three pretty good attributes to have coming into training camp and to start the season."
To make it work quickly in Los Angeles, Frattin had to find a way to fit in as an outsider joining a close-knit, championship team. He has done just about everything in his power to do that.
"I came down about three weeks before training camp and started to meet the guys as they were coming in instead of coming in later and meeting 25 guys at once," Frattin said. "I thought that was a good thing to do. Everybody has given me a warm welcome, brought me right in. It's a great team with great leaders."
Frattin constantly is working on his game with Sutter and assistant coaches John Stevens and Davis Payne. He spends a lot of time watching videos of him and Kings captain Dustin Brown, who like Frattin is a right-handed shot playing on his off wing.
"There's a lot to learn from him," Frattin said of Brown. "He has established himself on his off side."
The Kings are giving Frattin an opportunity to do the same. If it works with Richards and Carter, they may have an even faster version of Brown on their second line.
"You can't ask for anything more," Frattin said. "Everybody in the whole organization has been telling me they've been trying to trade for me since college. I'm at a place where they want me and want me to succeed. Any player wants that. I just have to keep a level head, play my game and have my ears open to any opinions the coaching staff has."

Woman Brain Dead after Taser Strike
Aired February 20, 2012 - 19:00 ET
JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL, HOST: Good evening. I`m Jane Velez-Mitchell, coming to you live from New York City. A state trooper`s split-second decision has left a young woman brain dead, and it`s all caught on tape. Was the officer in the wrong? We`ll show you the video so you can decide. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Tonight, a young woman tries to escape police custody. Cops zap her with a Taser, causing irreversible brain damage. The incident caught on tape. The cop has been cleared of all wrongdoing, but the injured woman`s family is suing mad. I`ll talk live to her mother and their lawyer. Plus a handsome lacrosse jock accused of murdering his beautiful college sweetheart in a jealous rage faces a jury. Will he be put away for life in person? Or will a two-tier justice system let this privileged preppy walk out of jail? Also an Arizona sheriff famous for his tough stance against illegal immigrants faces an enormous scandal. He`s accused of having a secret gay sexual affair with a Mexican immigrant and then threatening to deport his lover if he spoke a word about their secret relationship. I`ll have all the details. Plus, is a burger worth risking your life? A man has a heart attack while eating a 6,000-calorie burger at a famed restaurant called the Heart Attack Grill. I`ll talk to the owner of the restaurant. And I`m taking your calls for the hour. (END VIDEOTAPE) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: A 20-year-old Florida woman is in a vegetative state after being Tased by police. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The fleeing, handcuffed suspect being Tasered in the back by a trooper. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She suffered severe brain damage. Now she cannot speak. She cannot move. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Did you give a verbal warning that you were going to use it? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, I did not. SHERYL MAUDSLEY, MOTHER OF INJURED WOMAN: He was right behind her. He could have reached out. It was unnecessary. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Twenty-year-old Danielle Maudsley moaning in pain from hitting her head on the concrete. S. MAUDSLEY: Pretty much in a vegetative state right now. She opens her eyes a little bit. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What were you thinking? Are you stupid? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The trooper`s action were legal and within the scope of his duties. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He would have been better off to use his night stick on her than he would a Taser. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Tonight, a gut-wrenching dash cam video that has sparked a fierce debate. It shows a Florida state trooper firing and hitting a 19-year-old woman in the back with a Taser. A short time later, Danielle Maudsley fell into a coma. Before we show you the footage, I want to warn you, it is disturbing. Here`s Danielle running out of a highway patrol station. The trooper runs after her and fires his Taser. It hits Danielle in the back, knocking her to the ground. Her head slams onto the concrete. You can hear Danielle moaning in agony as the trooper hovers over her and then proceeds to scold her. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What were you thinking? Are you stupid? Man! DANIELLE MAUDSLEY, STRUCK WITH TASER BY POLICE: I can`t get up! UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don`t want you to get up. D. MAUDSLEY: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: "What are you thinking? You stupid?" That`s what he says. You may have just heard Danielle`s last words. She is now in a vegetative state. Doctors have told her family it`s unlikely she will ever wake up. As for the trooper, he has been completely cleared of any wrongdoing. Well, that`s just not good enough for Danielle`s family. They plan to sue. What do you think about how this trooper reacted? Call me: 1-877-JVM- SAYS, 1-877-586-7297. Is law enforcement becoming a little Taser happy? I`m honored to welcome Danielle`s mom, Sheryl Maudsley, and her attorney, Kevin Hazelet. First of all, Cherie -- Sheryl, I`m so sorry about what you`re going through. I know you love your daughter very much. And your heart is broken because your daughter is in a vegetative state. So Sheryl, tell us about how you heard of your daughter`s injuries and how this nightmare has unfolded from your perspective, Sheryl. S. MAUDSLEY: Well, I had a trooper knock on the door and tell me that my daughter had been Tased and hit her head on the ground. That I needed to get to her right away. I did so. I arrived there. I had troopers, priests, doctors, nurses -- she was on life support -- telling me she was living hour to hour. That she might not make it. I came around the corner and saw something no mother should ever have to see. She was practically brain dead. She was on feeding tube, trach, life support, two bags on each side of her head. They had taken her skull off. She was draining fluid. And to say the least, I could barely stand. It is staggering. It`s hard to accept. It`s a nightmare. VELEZ-MITCHELL: I am so sorry... S. MAUDSLEY: It`s a nightmare. VELEZ-MITCHELL: ... that you`re going through this. And look at that beautiful young woman. I can only imagine the effects a Taser would have on a petite 19-year-old woman. Take a look at what Tasers could do to men who are much, much bigger. Check this out. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Take a deep breath. Keep breathing. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: It`s absolutely debilitating. Now, it`s important to note: law enforcement decides how and when to use stun guns. And again, there`s been an investigation, and this officer who says he wouldn`t have done anything differently, has been exonerated. But that`s not good enough for the young woman`s family. Let`s bring in Kevin Hazelet, the attorney for Sheryl Maudsley. You are there beside the mother of this young woman, who is now in a vegetative state. What do you think the officer should have done differently? And we`ll show some video of the actual incident as you speak. KEVIN HAZELET, LAWYER: Jane, it is extremely disturbing. A couple things that I think the folks at home need to understand. No. 1, at this time this occurred, Danielle had already been in custody for over an hour. This is not a situation where the trooper is trying to effect an arrest. She`s in his custody. If you watch the video, she is led into the police department, which is allegedly secured, and she is cuffed behind her back. But then he re- cuffs her in her front. And Jane, there`s not a police expert in this country that will tell you that the protocol for a prisoner is to cuff them in the front because it is dangerous, it`s wrong, and it`s reckless. So once she`s cuffed in the front, she leaves what`s supposedly a secured facility when she`s under the custody and control of this trooper. He allows her to leave through an unlocked door. She gets into the parking lot. And then in the parking lot, this trooper`s go-to weapon is not reaching out and grabbing her. Because, if you slow down the video, Jane, he`s within three feet of her. He grabs her... VELEZ-MITCHELL: Let`s show it again. Let`s show it again in slo-mo. You asked us to show -- there we are. Yes. He is right behind her there. You can see. And he Tases her very, very close range. So you`re saying that was totally unnecessary. HAZELET: Well, a couple things. No. 1, his protocol. Not our protocol. The Florida Highway Patrol`s protocol is not to Tase folks who are escaping. That`s No. 1. No. 2, the protocol for all Taser is to provide a warning. He provides no warning. And he admits he provides no warning in the internal investigation. And thirdly, he had the ability to either reach out and grab her or, off-screen, about 20 feet beyond this, she would have been on kind of a field, and it wouldn`t have been the pavement where she hits her head, which causes the brain injury. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, a couple of things. One, the officer says, well -- he`s 267 pounds. About three times as much as she weighs. He said he was afraid he might hurt her, reportedly. And also said he was afraid she might run into traffic. I want to give you the opportunity to respond to that. Because this is what the officer is saying. HAZELET: Jane, here`s No. 1. Those folks who haven`t been to the station, the traffic is over a football field and a half away from where this occurred. This is almost a quarter mile from where this happens. He would have had ample opportunity to stop her before that. That`s No. 1. No. 2, if you watch the video, there was never any intent for him to tackle her. When he comes to the door, he realizes, he made a mistake. He let someone who was cuffed in front walk out the station front door, and his go-to weapon is the Taser. He never considered tackling her. And my question is when you look to the video, do you think that he could have ever caught her or tackled her? He had to use the Taser, because that`s the only -- that what was going through his head. He didn`t think about it. As you said at the beginning of the program, law-enforcement officers across this country are going to the Taser first. Not second. And it`s the wrong use of force in this condition. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, you are absolutely right that the number of Tasing incidents has skyrocketed, particularly in Florida, as well as California. There`s a lot of complexity to this case, though. We have to get to it. And we`re going to get to it on the other side. But I want to -- I want to ask you about the drugs that were in her system and whether that might have played a role in her reaction to being Tased and also, her trying to run away from the officer. So we want to give you a chance to think about that. We`ve got to state the facts. We want to be fair. But the facts are that she did have cocaine and oxycodone in her system. So on the other side of the break, we`re going to get your reaction to that, and we`re also going to talk to a panel of experts. All right. And we want to hear from you. We`re taking your calls: 1- 877-JVM-SAYS. Later, will a privileged preppy escape a murder? A college athlete accused of killing his girlfriend. But first, a young woman running from cops, Tased by a trooper. Now she`s in a coma. Her mother is with us live tonight along with the family attorney. They are very upset, asking, why didn`t this trooper tackle her? He was just a couple of feet away. Now she is, this beautiful young woman, likely never to wake up. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What were you thinking? What, are you stupid? Man! D. MAUDSLEY: I can`t get up. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don`t want you to get up. D. MAUDSLEY: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Looking at the video was very disturbing. This is an egregious misapplication of a very dangerous tool. The officer demonstrated poor judgment. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Independent investigations have cleared the officer who Tased that young woman. But she, Danielle Maudsley, now in a vegetative state. Vegetative state. Her mother with us live tonight, very upset, saying there were many other alternatives. Danielle -- let`s give you a little recap and review. She was arrested on suspicion of hit and run and driving without a valid license. When the trooper went to get her out of the cruiser, she told him, according to the cops, quote, "I took this off." She had slipped the handcuffs off one of her wrists. The officer sat Danielle at a table next to him, wrote his report and says she suddenly took off. He chased after her as she ran out the front door of the station. And then, as he`s just a couple feet behind her -- we`ve seen it a couple times now -- he fires his Taser. Her head hits the pavement, and she is bleeding from the back of the head. And then there is this other factor that we have to mention because it is part of the facts, that she was taking cocaine and oxycodone. They were in her system at the time of this incident. So briefly, Sheryl, do you think that could have played a role in what happened to your daughter? S. MAUDSLEY: I do not. I do not think so. Danielle was scared. She -- she obviously was scared. He was saying a lot to her. He had already started the abuse at the house. He went there. He knew exactly where she was. She went straight to her house where she was living. He went in. He, you know, did actions there that were brutal to begin with, starting with the abuse on her head. And I think she was scared. She was scared. He`s a big man. He was talking to her rough, doing rough things, being rough with her from the beginning and he had her scared to death. VELEZ-MITCHELL: All right. By the way, we have divided -- invited the trooper or somebody from the department to come on the show and they declined because of the ongoing lawsuit. But again, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, independent review found the trooper`s actions were legal and within the scope of his duties. Marcia Clark, former prosecutor, author of "Guilt by Association," what do you make of it? Because it does seem, according to the stats, the cops are getting very Taser-happy. And we`re going to show you more of this as we discuss it. MARCIA CLARK, FORMER PROSECUTOR: Yes. I mean, it does seem that the statistics are going up. And you see the problem here very vividly. A Taser strength is -- that is appropriate for a grown man is certainly inappropriate for a small woman. And unless there is some -- and here`s the problem, too, for any officer. He doesn`t have the moment to think about, "Oh, let`s see. She`s about 100 pounds. Let me reduce the strength of this." And that`s the problem with the Taser. That you`d have to make these snap judgments about how much strength to use that is appropriate for the person. I think when it comes down to a jury, they`re going to have to weigh these tragic circumstances. This girl, it`s such a tragic thing, what happened to her. It`s heart-breaking. And they`re going to have to decide whether or not it was appropriate for him in the moment, as he was, you know, making a decision in split seconds: "How do I stop her? She`s running towards the highway. She could cause an accident. She could get killed. If I tackle her myself, I could hurt her very badly." All of these things are running through his head. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes, and my question is, are we overusing Tasers? Are cops getting a little Taser-happy? 2009, an elderly driver in Texas refuses to sign her speeding ticket. Elderly. I`m talking in her 90s, or 72, anyway. Get this. It goes from bad to worse. Watch. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Put your hands behind your back. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I`m getting back in my car. I`m getting back in my car. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, ma`am. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Jeff Brown, you are in Florida. Are the cops there getting Taser happy? JEFF BROWN, ATTORNEY: Yes, I think they clearly are. And the problem is that the public is watching movies like "Hangover," where we seem to make a joke of it, and it`s accepted as if it`s not that dangerous. It`s extremely dangerous. And there`s no reason why Florida has to be the second largest -- or the state with the second most amount of Tasering incidences of all the states in the country. Just no excuse for it. And I don`t see why it is that the cops seem to want to go to the Taser all time. VELEZ-MITCHELL: All right, thank you, fabulous panel. And thank you, Sheryl. Our hearts go out to you. We hope that your daughter has a miracle... (COMMERCIAL BREAK) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Here is your "Viral Video of the Day." (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) (SOUND OF DOG GRABBING AN OBJECT WITH HIS TEETH) (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The murder trial of George Huguely. He is accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Yeardley Love, in 2010. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There was a pool of blood on her pillow and bruises on her face. Her right eye was swollen shut, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. But it didn`t take police long to zero in on a suspect. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: During the late hours, Chapman says a drunk and angry George Huguely kicked in Love`s bedroom door and beat her to death. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: It`s being called something straight out of a horror movie. A handsome lacrosse player accused of kicking through the bedroom door of his college sweetheart in a drunken rage and beating her to death. But George Huguely`s lawyer says, oh, it was all an accident. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We`re confident that Miss Love`s death was not intended but an accident with a tragic outcome. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: According to police, this wasn`t the first physical fight between this on again, off again couple. But this final attack was just days after Huguely threatened to kill Yeardley Love in an e-mail. The jury deliberations begin the day after tomorrow. But will they be willing to convict the handsome preppy college kid with a "V" at the end of his name? Are we going to see a two-tiered system of justice again? Straight out to Marcia Clark. I`ve got to ask you, Marcia. Of course, you`re famous as the prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson case and the author of "Guilt by Association." How much does class play into these kinds of cases? Because I`ve seen it myself in the courtroom. CLARK: When you say class -- tell me what you mean. VELEZ-MITCHELL: I mean he`s a preppy kid. He`s a kid of privilege. He is the fifth, George Huguely V. A lacrosse player. He`s handsome. He`s not some... CLARK: Yes. VELEZ-MITCHELL: ... kid from the inner city kicking in a door who`s high on crack. That guy would probably get sent away very quickly for murder one for life without anybody even thinking about it too long. CLARK: Yes. You know, to me there is never any chance that these things don`t come into play in a jury`s mind. I don`t think necessarily they consciously do, Jane, but people see that this handsome kid. And he`s probably well-mannered in the courtroom. And he automatically gets a credibility point just for that, even if it`s just a subconscious thing. And being good looking, very helpful also. On the other hand, I have to say what does not help him is that you have an e-mail that he wrote to her, admitting the fact that he -- he gets rage-filled when he`s under the influence of alcohol, that he gets out of control. He loses the judgment. He knows this. Yet, he gets drunk, and he goes to her apartment that day. And he kicks in the door. That`s going to hurt him quite a bit. So even though he does come in with this kind of impression of, you know, good-looking young white guy and all that, you know, which does help, I think it`s going to be offset. Don`t forget, too, she`s a sweet, beautiful girl. And that makes her a very, very sympathetic victim. And that can also cut down on the amount of benefit he gets by being the rich white kid. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, there`s also been drama. As one of the final defense witnesses, a neurosurgeon, left the courthouse, it was a big scene. Check it out. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Can you tell us how you think she died, sir? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oxygen. She suffocated. That`s all I can tell you. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Not -- not blunt-force trauma? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That`s all I can tell you. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: The surgeons claim that she died from suffocation, not blunt-force trauma to the head. But Marcia, isn`t it all the same thing? She -- she wouldn`t have been in that position had he not kicked the door down. Ten seconds. CLARK: Yes, exactly right, Jane. That`s ridiculous. Blunt-force trauma... (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: An Arizona sheriff is outed by an ex-lover then quits as the chair of Mitt Romney`s Arizona campaign. PAUL BABEU, SHERIFF, PINAL COUNTY, ARIZONA: All these allegations that were one of these newspapers are absolutely completely false. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The tough on illegal immigration Arizona sheriff outed by his migrant ex-boyfriend. BABEU: Except for the issues that refer to being gay because that`s the truth. I am gay. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Then also the issue of the photographs that he sent. Some of them were sexually explicit. And I think that speaks to the poor judgment on the part of a high profile politician and especially somebody that has congressional aspirations. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Jose, a 34-year-old Mexican national, afraid to be identified but speaking out because he says he was threatened by his powerful ex-lover. (END VIDEO CLIP) JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL, HLN HOST: A powerful Arizona sheriff facing allegations tonight that he threatened an ex-lover with deportation. If true, that would be quite an abuse of power. Sheriff Babeu has made his name as a tough on immigration sheriff along the border. And he is even running for congress. But it turned out that he had a secret. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BABEU: I am here to say that all these allegations that were in one of these newspapers are absolutely completely false. Except for the issues that refer to being gay because that`s the true -- I am gay. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Babeu was apparently leading a double life. The sheriff was on the rise politically in a very conservative county. He even had a position with the Romney campaign. Now his secret life has become very public indeed. A man who goes only by the name Jose because he wants to remain anonymous was the sheriff`s lover. Both sides agree that is true. But Jose claim after their relationship ended, the sheriff threatened to have him deported to keep the affair secret; this, despite the fact that Jose is here in the U.S. legally. Listen (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) MIGUEL MARQUEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: At some point, you felt -- JOSE: Used. MARQUEZ: Used. And then threatened? JOSE: Yes. MARQUEZ: Why threatened? JOSE: I got a text from him directly on my phone saying that I will never have business, that my family will be contacted. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Jose gave a local newspaper, sexually explicit photos of the sheriff that he says the sheriff posted on gay dating sites. The sheriff has now proclaimed what was not public knowledge before the scandal. Namely that he is in fact gay. But the sheriff denies making any threats against Jose, saying those claims are absolutely false. So straight out to Greg Paul, a well known radio reporter in the area where this is all going down. Greg, you were there on the ground in Phoenix, how big of a scandal is this? GREG PAUL, RADIO REPORTER: This is the biggest thing in the state and around the country right now Jane. Definitely everybody is talking about this story. Paul Babeu, a very famous sheriff here in the state, especially when he got involved with John McCain during the 2010 senate campaign. He was backing him with his border fence. So definitely, it`s a huge story. And everybody is talking about it. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes. And Sheriff Babeu, again, adamantly denies ever making any deportation threat. Listen. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BABEU: At no time did I or anyone who represents me ever threatened deportation -- ever. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Ok. But here`s my question. The sheriff admits these two men, he and this man, who goes by the name of Jose, were secretly lovers. That they broke up and it apparently got nasty. So shouldn`t we just accept the sheriff`s word that he did not threaten this man or the man`s family with deportation? Because the guy says something about, oh, we contact your brother allegedly. If the sheriff did make those threats, it would, make no mistake, be an abuse of power. So I want to go to Alexis Tereszcuk, senior reporter RadarOnline, you cover so many scandals. Do you think there should be an independent investigation into this man`s claim? ALEXIS TERESZCUK, SENIOR REPORTER, RADARONLINE: I think that there should be, absolutely. He is a law enforcer. And it seems as if he is absolutely breaking the law. And not only that, he is trying to go for an office where he`s actually going to make the laws. You cannot have people who are making the laws actively trying to break them. There should absolutely be an investigation to this man. VELEZ-MITCHELL: CNN got an exclusive interview with the ex-lover at the center of the scandal and asked him about his claims that the sheriff and sheriff`s attorney made threats. Listen. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) MARQUEZ: Do you think he was trying to make you leave the country? JOSE: Maybe. He just, what I think he just want me to keep me as far as, so I don`t say anything about him or about his behavior. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: The sheriff denies ever threatening deportation. Straight out to CNN`s Miguel Marquez, who scored that exclusive interview; well done Miguel, tell us about Jose. Did he seem like somebody who was genuinely afraid for his safety? MARQUEZ: He seemed like somebody who was genuinely in love with Paul Babeu at one point and was frustrated that that love was not reciprocated. He also seemed like someone who was struggling to figure out where he fit in this drama. I don`t think he expected it to turn into what it has turned into. I don`t think he understood it; a 34-year-old guy now smack dab in the middle of presidential politics. It is an extraordinary place for this guy to be. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Sheriff Babeu was just on CNN actually moments. And he explained his side on some of those texts. For example, one of the texts allegedly said, "You`ll never have any business after this" -- or words to that effect. Listen to the sheriff`s explanation of that. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BABEU: This is documented as well. I said, how can you think you`re going to do business? He had a business with Web sites. He just stole my Web sites and put slanderous information on my Web sites. And how can anybody expect to do business? All I wanted, because I have lawful authority for arrest, there was no arrest. There was no lawful authority. I did what you and most other citizens would have done. I went to an attorney. The attorney handled the matter. I thought it was done. And now as I`m approaching five months into this election, I`m ten points ahead in the poll over an incumbent member of congress and all this stuff comes out. (END VIDEO CLIP) All right. Reporter in Phoenix, Greg Paul, do you buy his explanation? PAUL: You know, a lot of people don`t here in the valley. I think that a lot of people say, you know, right here I have this cease and desist letter that was sent in September which was fine. And then Jose turned over all the pass codes and everything else. But then just last month, there was another letter. Those were the letters that went out between the two lawyers. Jose`s lawyer was telling Paul Babeu`s lawyer that basically, "Leave my client alone or we`re going to have to get an injunction." So there seems to be -- there needs to be some more investigation as something is not adding up right now. So it looks like more investigation is going to have to be done. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes. Well, Sheriff Babeu is now saying openly, I`m gay. But he had not been saying that. Had not, according to my understanding, been living as an out gay man at all until this scandal broke over the weekend. A lot of people were shocked by that revelation. And some would say he had been living a double life. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BABEU: This is my personal, my private life. But now it is not so private any longer. And it is an awful position for me to be in. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Some people have compared this to the scandals involving for example Reverend Ted Haggard who preached against gay marriage but was secretly having an affair with a male escort. And then there was former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey. He was married but he was having affairs on the side also with a male aide. I want to go to Jeff Brown, criminal defense attorney, because here`s where I have a slight problem. He says, well, this was my private life. It was my private business. But A, he is the sheriff, and B, he admits creating a professional relationship with this one time lover by letting the lover create and maintain his campaign Web sites and Twitter accounts. That`s where it got very messy. Because he is claiming this guy, once they got rid of him and brought in a professional to maintain those sites, then used the codes that he had to go in there and reveal all this stuff. JEFF BROWN, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Yes. I could care less whether he is gay. That`s not the issue here. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes. Nobody cares about that. BROWN: What is the issue is the hypocrisy behind this and the lying. He is holding himself out as a public figure. He is joining a party that is denouncing that lifestyle so he has put that out there. He wants to say my public and my private life. If you want to keep your private life quiet, don`t run for office. Don`t be the sheriff. But it`s the lying that he did to the public. It`s the lying about who he is. It is this whole false pretenses that he is getting out there - - that to me is the real problem. That`s what I think needs to be investigated. As well as everything that he was telling people during this time frame. This is the hypocrisy that bothers me. It has nothing to do with the lifestyle choice. It is the lying and the covering up. That is the problem VELEZ-MITCHELL: Sheriff Babeu allegedly has posted several pictures of himself on gay dating sites. Again, who cares except the scandal is complicated because he is a public figure accused of threatening the man you see there blurred with deportation, which he denies. Some of these pictures were underwear only, no shirt on -- that kind of thing. The article claims there are graphic photos. Now, Alexis Tereszcuk, obviously this isn`t the first time that social media has become scandal with a politician. Anthony Weiner, obviously that`s the first thing you think of. He tweeted pictures of himself in various stages of undress. He was forced to step down. Why do people think these photos won`t get out there, Alexis? TERESZCUK: They never learn. I don`t know if it is because they`re arrogant. I think it is. They`re arrogant. They`re self-centered. They think that they`re above the law. Even the sheriff thinks he is above the law and above public scrutiny. Everybody can find these things. Twitter isn`t your own personal poster board in your house with your personal pictures hanging on the fridge. This is for lots of people to see. They never learn. VELEZ-MITCHELL: All right. Thank you fantastic panel. A man has a heart attack eating at a place called The Heart Attack Grill -- 6,000 calorie burgers, fries, cooked in lard. We`re going to talk to the owner of this restaurant next and you can ask him your tough questions -- 1-877-JVM-SAYS. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) "DOCTOR JON" BASSO, OWNER, HEART ATTACK GRILL: One of the nurses came back to me and said Dr. Jon we have a patient who`s in trouble. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The Heart Attack Grill actually lived up to its name. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He was having the sweats and shaking. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Apparent heart attack at a place called The Heart Attack Grill. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don`t think I would walk into a place even if it is called The Heart Attack Grill and order food and expect that I was going to have a heart attack. (INAUDIBLE) told us the man had been eating what`s called a triple bypass burger. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It says right on the door -- hazardous to your health. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: A man goes into cardiac arrest at a place called, yes, The Heart Attack Grill. It`s a restaurant where the motto is "taste worth dying for". I have to ask, is this making fun of a very serious epidemic that is literally killing a lot of people in our country? Check out this video from YouTube. It shows the apparent heart attack victim -- that`s right -- being wheeled away in a stretcher from this Las Vegas restaurant. He was eating a, quote, "triple bypass burger", end quote when restaurant workers noticed something was very, very wrong. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He was having the sweats and shaking. BASSO: The gentleman could barely talk. He was sweating, suffering. Anyone with an ounce of compassion would have felt for him. Of course, we feel very compassionate for this guy. But did he know what he was getting into? Well, just check out the front door. It says it right there on the front door. This establishment is bad for your health. A single meal at this place can clock in at well over 10,000 calories. Customers literally wear hospital gowns. The waitresses dress up as nurses. They pretend to take your pulse. What does this say about our out of control eating habits? I want to hear from you people. Give me a call because I need help with this one. 1-877-JVM SAYS. I need your input. 1-877-586-7297. Straight out to the owner of The Heart Attack Grill; now, you call yourself Dr. Jon Basso. First of all, are you a doctor? BASSO: I`m a burgerologist. I`m actually the founder of that field of medicine and I could throw a lot of jokes back and forth like that all day long. But I think that why I`m here is to discuss a very serious issue of addiction. Addiction comes in many forms, whether it is alcohol addiction, sexual addiction, or in this case, food addiction. The Heart Attack Grill is a breeding ground of addiction. It is intended to be so. And we pull no punches. We bring it forward exactly as people want it and we fairly warn them up front. So if I -- VELEZ-MITCHELL: But some people would say, Dr. Basso, even though I don`t think you`re actually a doctor, that you are the pusher; that you`re as much, if overeating is an addiction, which I agree with you 100 percent. In fact, I wrote a book called "Addict Nation" where I talked about how this is the number one addiction in America today right up there with prescription pills is eating -- food addiction. That`s why two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese but it is causing all sorts of problems. To wit the heart attack the man had right in your restaurant. I mean I would understand the sense of irony and this clever attitude if people weren`t keeling over and dying. But people would say you are a drug pusher. You are pushing this addiction overeating. BASSO: Absolutely. I am familiar with your book. Food addiction is the most serious issue in the United States right now from a health standpoint. The obesity epidemic speaks for itself. Two out of three Americans are either overweight or obese. Right now I Dr. Jon and The Heart Attack Grill am here to bring this issue to the head and we`re doing it right on Las Vegas Boulevard in plain daylight right on national TV. And I want to talk about it. I want to hear any of your callers who really want to discuss this and get to the bottom. Call in right now. Let`s talk about this. VELEZ-MITCHELL: That`s my job. Thank you. (CROSSTALK) VELEZ-MITCHELL: But let me tell you this. The physicians committee for responsible medicine says if you want to help with this addiction, declare moral bankruptcy and close your restaurant. Why don`t you close your restaurant if you want to make this problem go away? Answer on the other side, doctor. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) VELEZ-MITCHELL: More triple bypass burger in a moment. But first, we all deserve a laugh break, don`t we? (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) (CATS PLAYING WITH BOX) (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I`ve made incredible progress on the Heart Attack Grill diet. A couple months ago, I was wearing these. Side effects may include sudden weight gain, repeated increase of wardrobe size, back pain, male breast growth, loss of sexual partners, lung cancer, tooth decay, liver sclerosis, stroke and an inability to see. In some cases, mild death may occur. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: That was a spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill back when it used to be in Phoenix, Arizona. He weighed nearly 600 pounds and talked about how great the restaurant was. Tragically, he died last year at the age of 29 leaving behind a young daughter. And the guy who had the heart attack at the Heart Attack Grill the other day, oh, my gosh, what was he eating, triple bypass, three hamburgers, five slices of cheese, 15 slices of bacon, onion, tomato, 6,000-what, calories? That`s what they say. Ray, Nevada. Your question or thought? RAY, NEVADA (via telephone): Ray? Are you asking for Ray? VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes. I`m asking for Ray. RAY: Hi Jane. Love you. Love your show. I watch every day. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Thank you. RAY: I am from Las Vegas, as you know. We are a city of extravagance. We`re a city known for our buffets, for our food, for our entertainment. It`s just, we`re over the top with everything. And Heart Attack Grill is just an extension of that. We offer everything from gourmet dining to heart attack grill. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Do you work at Heart Attack Grill? Are you one of Dr. Jon`s -- let me get back to you -- let me talk about excess. Dr. Jon, honestly, I think that you would make a fabulous point if people weren`t keeling over in the process. When they do an experiment and a lot of people in a study start having Ill effect, they stop the study in progress, because they don`t want people to die as a result of studying. I think you`ve made your point. But now, is it time to close down? BASSO: Jane, my point is far from being made. Now, it is true, I sell burgers, I sell fries, but I sell food for thought. And if you`re willing to digest the latter, you`ll be vastly better off. Never met Ray before or any of the other people who are calling in right now, but I do believe that they understand my modality of treatment and I`ll often say, look, I`m on the frontlines of the battle against anorexia and you might laugh that away. But we have to look at both ends of the bell curve or the spectrum. No one wants to be too heavy. No one wants to be too thin. We all want to feel good. We want to look good. We want to live a great life. (CROSSTALK) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes, but Dr. you`re not really a doctor but Mr. Fake Doctor, people are keeling over, they`re getting heart disease. They`re having heart attacks. They`re suffering from high cholesterol. They`re getting type 2 diabetes and literally. We are killing people with this diet. And you are literally the penultimate example. You`re a very clever man and I actually have to give you props for being very funny. I think you should take your show on the road. Now that you`ve made your point, do other people have to keel over in your restaurant? BASSO: What you have to understand is simply this. The AMA may refuse to recognize me. You may say, you`re not really a doctor. But let me explain something. The American Medical Association fitness trainers, diet professionals, the entirety of what we think of as traditional healing has failed the American public. That`s evident. You can look at the statistics and see that. What I`m trying to say -- (CROSSTALK) VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, I have to say, they broke the mold with you. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The Heart Attack Grill is the height of unhealthy hedonism. It`s menu is a killer catalogue of only the greasiest, fattiest foods. (END VIDEO CLIP) VELEZ-MITCHELL: That`s "Extreme Pig-Out" from the Travel Channel. Alexis Tereszcuk, is the joke on us as a culture? TERESZCUK: Maybe, but you know what, I think maybe this isn`t real. I don`t know that this man really did have a heart attack. You saw him on the stretcher. He was kind of sitting up. Might be just a big publicity stunt by the doctor and they get the word out about his restaurant. VELEZ-MITCHELL: No, no. Paramedics say that`s not the case. Jeff Brown criminal defense attorney, I wish Alexis were right on this one. Maybe it`s wishful thinking but paramedics are saying it was real. BROWN: Yes, they said it was real. You know, it`s not this burger that gave him the heart attack. It`s probably the 10,000 other burgers that he had before this. At least we know in this restaurant where the hidden calories are. That`s always been a problem. I think you`ve kind of talked about this before -- it`s not knowing what the calories are in some of the things we eat. VELEZ-MITCHELL: Got to leave it right there. Nancy next. END
