I don't think we ever got to exactly what his version of the best way to bring universal healthcare to our fellow citizens would be. But my side of the discussion was that if the kinds of changes that are already in the proposed healthcare reform bill had come about somehow under the previous administration and/or Bush Senior's or Reagan's, Democrats, at least what some still call "liberal" Democrats and what many now call "Progressive" Democrats would have (or at least should have) been dancing in the street.
The idea that no one will be able to have their health insurance cut off if they lose their job or move from one to another or because of a "pre-existing condition" or any of the myriad other ways the insurance companies have found to deny coverage or limit it to the point of uselessness should have all Democrats, and especially the "liberals" and "progressives" very pleased.
But because the terribly labeled "public option" (it sounds like a restroom or worse) may not make it into the final bill, many so-called "liberal" and even more so-called "progressive" Democrats are acting like Hitler just invaded Poland or the details of the Holocaust have just been revealed.
Sorry, but my lifetime's experience coupled with a lifetime of reading and studying history etc. leads me to conclude that progress is progress and if that's what you're for you should rejoice in whatever progress can be made while working for more.
When I was young I wanted change to be instantaneous and I joined movements that pushed for change to come faster and more universally in Civil Rights and later in stopping the clearly senseless (especially in retrospect for those not there at the time or not informed enough to realize) war in Viet Nam, and for equal rights for women and for people not as easily defined in terms of gender and for people whose attractions were for the same gender as their own and etc.
I also fought and worked for more democracy, more equality and more transparency on every level. In some cases those struggles brought about real change that may have come much more slowly or not at all if there hadn't been those of us fighting for those changes.
But, they still didn't come overnight, even if in some cases it seemed like it. The struggle for equal rights for women is formally over a century old and informally it's been going on for far longer. And ditto for many other changes. In some areas, there seems to be no turning back, and then, unfortunately, some segments of humanity do (slavery, racial and gender discrimination and oppression, etc.).
The point is, those who become impatient and leave the fight for change through legal and democratic means—in order to try and force change through violence, or drop out of the struggle entirely because change isn't occurring fast enough—only contribute to the backward trend in whatever areas they were struggling for progress in.
Despite the worst financial crisis in our history, maybe the world's at least in the past few centuries, FDR was not able to push through Social Security as we know it. He was able to initiate the program and establish the justification for it for widows and children and over the next several years was able to expand it. Then over the next several decades it was improved on more and now is where we know it and most of those receiving it are very grateful for the help it provides.
Even LBJ with a much greater majority in Congress than Obama has was only able to get Medicare established so that older people could be guaranteed healthcare, but he was unable to get through universal healthcare. If I had my way, we'd just expand Medicare to cover everyone, and pay for it with tax increases for the rich (taxes were almost twice as much on the wealthiest even after Reagan got through with his tax cuts!) whose portion of the wealth in the USA has grown exponentially since the rightwing Republicans began to have more and more influence not only over our national government but over the media and its discussion of these issues. [And over an economy that they brought to the brink of destruction, and will again if or when they regain power.]
But the reality is I don't get my way. Nor do most of us (and if we did there'd be chaos because we'd all have a different version of what would be best, just read the comments on this blog or any blog that deals with any of these issues). What we get is either gradual change, either progressive or backward, depending on who is controlling the government and the media and therefore the public discussion of what options are even viable.
When there is actual large scale and abrupt change in either direction, it is usually if not always (I'd say always but I don't want an endless comment thread referring to various inaccurate and unreliable Internet sources for wingnut arguments) a result of violence or causes great violence, and if you're pushing for that kind of change then you have to be ready for the violence that ensues.
Our last president wanted to bring about that kind of large scale and abrupt change in the Middle East, so we invaded Iraq. You wanna tell all those who lost loved ones and continue to as a result of that that it's all worth it because Iraq actually had elections? I don't. Nor do I want to see rightwing Republicans regain power as a result of too many voters and activists and bloggers and commenters and etc. losing faith in Obama and his "progressive" credentials because change doesn't happen fast enough or on a large enough scale to satisfy their ideals.
ideals are easy, change is very very difficult. I'm grateful for the changes this administration has already brought about. There are already more people covered by healthcare insurance than were just six months ago, there are less people losing their jobs (though still too many obviously so don't bother to make that comment, but even with the rise in that figure according to the latest data, it is still less than a third of the number who lost their jobs in January just before Obama took office and began to change things), the world financial system is at least for the moment much more stable than it was when Obama took the oath of office and there are more people working in government with progressive ideals than there are those with fundamentalist Christian ideas that demand obedience to their interpretation of the Bible (or their leaders') over the Constitution than there were ten months ago.
And there's much more. That isn't universal healthcare or a total withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan or holding accountable those who caused the financial crisis etc. etc. nor is it creating two million new jobs etc. etc. But if you think that can happen over night or even in one year, then your not a big fan of democracy in action only in theory. Fight for what you believe is best, but expect a long struggle with many setbacks and don't get discouraged. And if you do, shake it off and get back in the struggle, and as Joe Hill once said:
"Don't mourn, organize!"
[PS: It would be so easy to just post a simple statement of what my ideals are and what I'd like to see happen. I'd like, as my friend Sue and others have said, to see either Medicare expanded to include everyone, or everyone to get the same kind of healthcare that those in Congress do. I also believe everyone has the right to food and shelter and education and a job that does no harm but in fact contributes to the community, including the world community. But those are just ideals, something to work toward, which I have done for most of my life. In the meantime, real every day life goes on in which these ideals are mostly meaningless to most people in dire situations regarding all of the above. So any kind of change for the better, no matter how small, I'm for.]
[(from a response to some of the comments on this post—PPS: I would love to see healthcare coverage for everyone. I marched on Washington, and in Washington, many times over the years, and took part in demonstrations and protests around the country many times for many issues and at locations that focused on various branches of the government and their agencies under both Democratic and Republican administrations. Some of these protests had half a million people or more at them, some only a dozen or so. But I did it regularly for years and years and years. Some of it helped change some things, and some didn't. But along with many others, I still did it, and still do it. Where are the protestors marching and demonstrating in DC for "the public option" or whatever version of healthcare reform they champion and feel is not being recognized or enacted? All I see is rightwing protests in which the main focus seems to be denigrating Obama and anything he is trying to do. It's as if the only people protesting and demonstrating in any larrge numbers in the '60s were the so-called "hardhats" (short for the rightwingers of that time) and none or very few against the war. Now's the time for a major march on DC in favor of radical change in healthcare coverage and other more left leaning goals (i.e. not backward to more of the rightwing practices that got us into the mess we're in in the first place), even if all it accomplishes is pushing Obama and this Congress a little bit further in that direction, rather than responding to the pressure from corporate power on one side and rightwing media/misinformed angry crowds on the other. In other words, all the pressure coming from the right. Lefties, get some of your idealist friends together and organize a massive march on DC. We did it. Several times.]

You describe the incrementalism of expanded government control very well. That is why conservatives want to makes sure that no public option, trigger or quasi government control in the form of co-operatives survive. With the Republicans powerless, only the threat of reelection may hold off what many see as disastorus government expansion with explosive spending.
Interesting times that we live in.

Exactly what are "the kinds of changes that are already in the proposed healthcare reform bill" that should have us "dancing in the street"?
Manditory health insurance, which will drive down the quality of care for everyone? Guaranteed profits for big pharma, in exchange for advertising dollars? Prohibiting bulk pricing for pharmaceuticals? (The Veterans Administration does not have this restriction and saves about 40% on drugs.)
Please respond. Exactly what are Obama and Baucus giving us that is so great, and how will it move us closer to universal health care? To be absolutely clear, I would support any legislation that would bring us closer to universal health care.
Isn't it possible, at this point, that no bill is better than the mish mash of corporate handouts being proposed? From everything I've read an unintended consequence (very much intended by some) of these proposals will be to turn people off to universal healthcare. None of the "reforms" will kick in until 2013 - a tacit admission that the reforms are crap and the Democrats don't want them to be an issue in 2012.
(Disregarding your directive, you try to guild the feces with your inaccurate description of unemployment, a particularly sensitive issue for me. It is getting worse.)

The current administration has gotten what they wanted in the Stimulus Package. They propose health care and Cap and Trade which by all accounts will raise the cost to the economy and business. Even though unemployment is a lagging indicator, there is growing concern that employment will not respond favorably to the increased costs and increased taxes in 2011 when the 2003 tax cuts expire. Do you think it might to be time to cut government spending, cut the costs to business by lowering or eliminating corporate taxes and spur US investment by lowering capital gains taxes thus boosting employment?

I wrote this post in haste before leaving for the Berkshires for the weekend and a slightly premature celebration of my eleven-year-old turning twelve, so I didn't have a chance to correct some grammar and typos. In doing so, I realized that some of my ideas weren't as clear as I'd wanted so I've made some slight changes that hopefully makes my argument more clear if not more convincing. And also hopefully makes it clear that I am not arguing that what may end up being in the healthcare reform bill is all terrific or what I would necessarily want in it, but I am saying that there are enough good things in it to make it a worthwhile change for the better for most of us. The idea that it has no many glitches that it would be better to leave things the way they are means those in my family and among my friends who are suffering deeply due to insurance problems that the bill will rectify (not all, but many) should be left to suffer because the bill isn't ideal.

Investors Business Daily details the failure of state run government systems on which Obamacare is modeled
States Show How Not To Fix Health Care
By KERRI HOUSTON TOLOCZKOPosted 10/01/2009 07:04 PM ET
Since the debate over the government takeover of medical care exploded onto the national stage, advocates of market-based, patient-centered reforms have pointed to the failed government health care systems of Canada and the U.K. as examples of what America should not replicate.
And rightfully so. Democrat proposals have duplicated many components of these systems, creating frighteningly similar base lines here to these unsuccessful foreign models of "universal" coverage.
Yet we don't need to peer over borders and across oceans to find government health care that does not work; indeed, we have examples here in our United States.
Hawaii, Oregon, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Maine have all created some version of government takeover or administration of health care, and all are a mess.......

Obviously former Republican Senate leaders agree more with Obama than with Jlm and others like him. Bill Frist, former Republican leader of the Senate says he would vote for the bill. Yes, he would take heat for it, but that is what leaders do. While he doesn't find Obama's proposals to be perfect He feels they will not cover all of the uninsured and that the first few years of implementation will be rough as states try to figure this out. This kind of health care has been agreed to by former Senate majority leaders Howard Baker and Bob Dole in the past. But, so much for current Republicans and conservatives taking a cue from the elder statesmen of the GOP. It's politics and misinformation supplied by those paragons of, ah, virtue, the wonderful, wacky, talking right.

Hi Tom,
It is the elder Rhino
Republican statesmen that have led the party down the path to oblivion. It is the Tea Party and Town-Hallers people who are leading us back. At this point the party does not have an individual leader. I suspect one will emerge who is in concert with the people of the movement who want less national debt, less government intrusion into private life and lower taxes and policies that are liable to lead to fuller employment. It is ok to be with out a leader. Ideas are more important than leadership. Obama is a leader. He and Michelle were going to lead the Chicago Daly Machine to the triumph of being an Olympic city.

the tea baggers and those who think discussion involves shouting down the speaker have been led by the likes of Glen (put some Vicks in my eyes so I can cry) Beck, and others who spew their daily doses of lies and conspiracies. If that is the new direction of the GOP then it is a quick road to hell for this country. I read many of their posts on conservative boards - they are has hateful and misguided as the wacko far left was when Bush was President. Ooooo no elections in 2010 or 2012, lock and load, military coup, yak, yak, yak. Don't get the vaccine - Obama had put drugs in them. Yeah, those are two good groups to follow.

You use the term "Tea Bagger" as a term of derision. I thought the Left was pro gay. I notice that your anger quotient is also rising. Do you sense that the tide may be turning against bigger, government, spending, taxes etc. One of Glen's "Lies" is that ACORN was and is corrupt. Independent photo journalism confirmed it, which was quickly followed be a vote to cut off tax payer money to the criminal organization. Another "Lie" was that Obama green czar Van Jones was someone who was inappropriate to be on the public payroll. After his communist and racist background was followed by a revelation of his "Truther" efforts, Czar Van Jones was toast.
The Birther movement is one of those conspiracy theories that I assume you refer to. Obama has spent upwards of $1.5 million on preventing any of his records being released. The records include normal things that candidates release like; original birth certificate, health records, school records, thesis, Harvard Law writings etc. A less pro Obama media would have done its job during the campaign and dug out these records. They did for the other candidates.

I am saying that there are enough good things in it to make it a worthwhile change for the better for most of us.
Judge, move to strike as unresponsive.
So, specifically, what are the "good things" that will come our way? I've done quite a bit of reading on this, but I might have missed something.
What's being discussed won't take effect until 2013, so will these "reforms" actually help your friends and family? I have family and friends that don't have insurance and I don't have insurance. I want something that will solve problems this year, not 5 or 6 years in the future.
(The thoroughly venal Frist supporting the reforms is certainly a red flag. He is deeply invested the health care industry, and is salivating over the mandatory insurance option.)

I suspect immediate suspension of barriers to inter state competition, elimination of federal mandates on types of insurance offered which would make available high deductible, low premium coverage, tort reform with caps on awards would help with the cost,portability so individuals could own their health insurance as people own their life insurance, expansion of the types of groups that individual could join would help in group purchasing power, immediate imposition of state rules denying insurance companies the right of discriminating against pre existing conditions would be good, medical vouchers for the truly destitute American citizens should take care of the rest approximately 8-10 million. None of the above are new ideas, but are contained in various pieces of legislation that has been offered, but not considered by the current congress. The above could be accomplished with little or no expansion of the national debt

No bill has been signed into law yet or even debated on the senate floor, but some folks seem to know everything that's gonna be in it. Has anyone read the actual proposed bill? Things Jim mentions and Butch mentions are in the proposed bill so far, so you both should be partially pleased with this legislation if it becomes law.

What do you think the Tea Party and the Town Hallers were. They were 60-80m strong in DC and many more thousands of hamlets across the US. We were and are not unkempt students and jobless folks but are mothers and father, grandparents and folks that have better things to do. We showed up because we fear for our country. We showed not out of hate but out of patriotism. Liberals, RINOS and politicians of all stripes denigrate us at their peril. We are particuarly potent in an off year election. The luster of the Obamasiah is wearing off. Do not expect the "Hopey Changey" crowd to show in 2010.
- October 4, 2009 at 2:07:00 AM EDT
After the obligatory back-in-the-day riff, it appears your appeal for support of healthcare legislation is based on faith, hope, and the fierce urgency of maybe, someday.
It is true that it takes an effort to find out what is being proposed. During the campaign Obama promised to hold negotiations with the Health Care Industry on CSPAN. After the election everything moved behind closed doors. The more things change . . ..
With a little effort it is possible to find out some facts:
*** In exchange for guaranteeing profits, Obama is being given millions of advertising dollars.
*** Republicans, like Dole, Frist, and your nemesis Jlm's favorite, Jindal, are lining up in support of Obama.
*** Baucus's bill includes mandatory purchase of insurance (Obama supports this). Great for the insurance companies, terrible for the rest of us.
*** Baucus's bill also includes another Jlm favorite - regulating insurance according to the rules of the state where the policy was issued. If you live in Illinois your insurance could be regulated by Alabama laws. A race to the bottom.
Of course all this is a step backward - more profits for the corporations, more money out of our pockets and less real health care for the citizenry.
Another reason for caution. Truckloads of money are being dumped on the people writing these "reforms." To ignore this corruption because the party you support is in power is no different that what happened under Bush.
I think it's vitally important that when we are asked to support something we get all the facts. Bush labeled his polluter-friendly legislation as the Clear Skys Initiatiive. The Democrats, lead by master marketer Obama, are trying to sell us something they label as reform. Do a little research and read the fine print before you buy.

I suppose our anger with the Democrats in general, and Obama specifically, is that they're bidding against themselves. The Republicans have shown that they will vote against any bill that Obama thinks of as "reform". If we're going to pass a bill, we're going to do it without Republican votes. We might as well get everything we want.
Look at the credit card reform. Yes, the credit card system is better than it was before, but they can still charge 30% or more.
These lukewarm industry friendly reforms, along with Obama's weak support for "the public option" and no support for "single payer" really disproves all the hysteria the right had about Obama being a socialist.

Last comment on this thread. I thought I made myself clear, but maybe not. There are five proposed healthcare reform bills to be worked out in Congress right now. All of them, to my knowledge, include these three things: that insurance companies can no longer automatically drop people when they lose or change jobs, that they cannot claim "pre-existing conditions" to deny a claim and that they cannot edit out illnesses that are more expensive to treat. If these three things had been enacted under the previous administration, any "liberal" or Democrat who didn't rejoice in that would have been a hypocrite. And if they are enacted under the health reform bill now being worked on in Congress, any "liberal" or Democrat who doesn't rejoice in their passage is a hypocrite. As will be some Republicans and rightwingers, like Jim, who seems to be for some of those changes as well. Would I like to see more changes than those three? Of course. But name one president or administration which was able to bring about all the changes they promised and/or ran on or aimed for. There are none, because reality cannot be controlled by any one person or party. So, better two steps forward and one back than two steps back and one forward.
- October 5, 2009 at 9:56:00 AM EDT
The video I linked to (that lays out Baucus's bill) acknowledges it has some good things.
The really dangerous parts of his bill, though, are mandatory insurance and allowing insurance companies to be regulated in friendly states, a la credit card companies who are by-and-large regulated by South Dakota and Delaware.
Do you think these gifts to the insurance industry are offset by the relatively minor concessions you mentioned? If mandatory insurance and health care deregulation are locked into law we will begin a spiral of higher costs and diminishing coverage. Bad bargain no matter how you look at.
You mentioned 5 health care bills. Before the election it was trumpeted that with Obama's leadership and a Democratically controlled Congress we would be on the road to recovery. Why 5 bills (none of them Republican)? Why the confusion? Why don't we know exactly what Obama and his party wants?
There's a Chicago expression that could be used here: "They would f*ck up a two car funeral."

While I was working in New York in 2011, I had the opportunity to train at a Kyudokan Goju Karate club. The name of the club instructor is Sensei Andy Dominey, and he visited me in Cardiff from the 3rd June. We organised an extra training session at Sophia Gardens on Sunday 4th June for him to share some of his experiences with us.
GoJu Karate is a traditional art from Okinawa. It balances hard linear movements with soft circular ones to build a self defence system that concentrates on close range fighting. Sensei Dominey prides himself on the practical aspects of karate paying particular attention to angles of attack/defence, body positioning, use of posture and fluidity of movement.
In typical JiuJitsu fashion, I forgot to take any photographs, but wanted to take a few notes of some of the areas we got to explore during the session. It's also a helpful reminder for those who did attend.
We began with a typical warmup and breakfalling practise. We quickly looked at some basic throws: o-soto-gari, koshi-guruma & o-uchi-waza. These were techniques we would revisit through the day.
Sensei Dominey began introducing fundamentals of the goju style, so everyone would have the tools for the day and everyone would be on the same page. Students were introduced to basic strikes, blocks and stances as well as some goju-philosophy:
'No First Attack in Karate' - essentially every movement must consider it's outcome and provide a means for escape.
During blocking Sensei Dominey would ensure to find multiple-points of contact, using arms, legs and back to detect a person's balance and movement. Body structure can be used to arrest movement/momentum.
Another important theme is that of the 'continuous fist' which reminds the student to not be precious of their technique, it allows them to move on (an through) their opponent.
Back to fundamentals for a moment: Sensei Dominey demonstrated Seiunchin kata. This teaches controlling and pulling actions. The opening of the kata demonstrates a 'mountain block' in 'shiko-dachi', this is a method for entering in order to meet the opponent's attack and control their weight through your legs and back not your arms then feel for their movement and respond accordingly.
Putting these themes to work we used an Arm-bar, which could be rotated into a shoulder-lock before looking at a simple hip-throw. Having grasped the idea, we reversed the order; providing choice.
With the foundations in place we could approach the afternoon looking at a range of goju-applications.
We looked at using elbows (empi) to block and cover from various attacks. There were several sequences from Seiunchin kata which can be applied to striking, locking and I taught a Tai-otoshi application.
A core stance in Goju karate is 'Sanchin'. Sensei Dominey demonstrated several applications of throws, such as O-Uchi-Gari bearing down his weight to control his uke, using this stance.
Sensei Dominey also demonstrated was Geki Fa, which literally means to Attack and Tear. It is one of the first kata that a Goju student learns. Even here there are numerous foot-sweeps, an o-soto-gari and even an uchi-mata which we explored.
We finished back where we started, with an application of Seiunchin-kata, but from the ground, with an opponent striking you from above.
In Cardiff tradition, we went for a beer and a curry afterwards - time for a photo.
On Monday Sensei Dominey joined our usual class in Talybont.
On Tuesday we scheduled an additional class at Cardiff Union, we practised numerous blocking and choking techniques applicable to JiuJitsu and Goju.
Well done to everyone to attended (I believe Jay managed to do 6 days in a row).
A very big thank you to Andy Dominey for taking the time out of his busy schedule to teach and train with us. Regardless of our level, being able to apply our knowledge in different situations allows us to: a) broaden our understanding, b) test our capabilities and c) reflect on what we're good at.
I hope Andy have the opportunity to train with us again soon!

"This is not a game that we are going to point to and model as a way to play," Morrow said. "So many times it was do we shoot or do we pass?
"It just seemed like we were a little bit off. That happens. We are happy to get the result and the points."
Lipscomb Bisons' forward Miguel DaSilva celebrated "Senior Night" by scoring the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win Friday night over USC Upstate at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
Just moments before Garrett McLaughlin and Garret Pettis combined to give DaSilva the goal with 3:57 left to play the Bisons had a goal nullified due to an injury to an Upstate player near midfield.
Lipscomb goalkeeper Brent McGee turned back three shots for the shutout, his third of the season.
"Late in the game we had to get a goal and we threw some numbers forward," Morrow said. "It ended up working out. Traditionally our seniors have played well on `Senior Night'.
"It was a great ball in by Garrett. Pettis did well to settle the ball and turn. He was probably going to shoot it himself, but he passed it to Miguel. In a game like this you don't want to leave anything undone."
In addition to Silva and McLaughlin the Bisons honored Chase Nieri and Angel Chairez on "Senior Night".
"The seniors have been solid and steady, not just in this game, but in their four years here," Morrow said. "It was good and fitting on `Senior' night that Miguel and Garrett were involved in the deciding goal."
The game started off differently as Morrow sent out a new starting lineup due to some players having missed some workouts.
""We didn't start our normal starting line-up and that is always an adjustment," Morrow said. "It was not something we wanted to do.
"This was an important game. We weren't taking this game lightly."
The four seniors have won more games than any other senior class.
"All four of them have special things that they bring," Morrow said. "They have done so much. We are going to miss them all.
"Miguel holds pretty much every school offensive record and was really our first big recruit who helped turn things around. Angel and Garrett are so important to what we do and will be hard to replace. Chase has been a model student in the classroom. On the field he went from a player who wasn't playing very much at all to being a starter."
The game was also one of five in the Atlantic Sun Conference designated as a "Coaches vs. Cancer" event this week. More than 200 fans were in attendance.
"It is important," Morrow said. "The coaches in the conference have been looking to unite on a common cause for a couple of years. Our assistant coach, Kevin Burk, did a great job of putting the event together and getting Coaches vs.Cancer and Dick's Sporting Goods involved.
"It is certainly a worthy cause and a noble cause," Morrow said. "Cancer has impacted almost everyone."
The Bisons, winners of their last four games, are 8-6, 4-2 in the A-Sun. USC Upstate slipped to 1-10-3, 0-8 in the conference. The Bisons play their final home regular season game Sunday afternoon at 2 when ETSU visits.
"ETSU plays a challenging system," Morrow said. "Both teams are fighting for standings for the conference tournament. They beat us twice last year. I'm sure these guys remember that."

Merry Christmas!

Ole Miss Dismisses Dundrecous Nelson
Dundrecous Nelson was dismissed from the Ole Miss basketball program on Thursday after being arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia less than 48 hours earlier. The 5'11 sophomore was leading the team in scoring at 11.6 ppg and was a big part of running the Rebels offense. Coach Andy Kennedy was searching for leadership even with Nelson on the team for the 10-5 Rebs. Looks like SEC play just got a lot tougher for this Ole Miss team.
Jeff Jordan Leaving UCF Basketball Team
Michael Jordan's eldest son, Jeff, has decided to leave the University of Central Florida basketball team, citing personal reasons. Jeff Jordan had previously played on Illinois and transferred to UCF, playing with his younger brother Marcus. The younger Jordan leads UCF in scoring, averaging 17.2 ppg this year as a junior. Jeff had seen his role diminish slightly since the reinstatement of PG AJ Rompza into the Knights line-up. Nonetheless, the elder Jordan had been a key bench player for UCF and averaged 2.7 ppg in 21.2 mpg through 13 games.

My archives
This section collects all my previous blog posts from my blog Remains of the Day from the years 2001 through 2011, when I was writing regularly. Most of these are left over from the blog I started on Blogger and then shifted to Movable Type.
In porting them over to Squarespace here, a lot of the formatting is off, and I have not had time to go back in and clean things up. My hosting subscription on another service crept up on me, and I had to rush to move everything over, so apologies to those of you who came here and saw random drafts of half-written, half-edited posts still hanging out like so much unfolded laundry strewn across the sofa. I need to tidy them up, then figure out how to add search to my site.
Going back through my old posts is often embarrassing, like hearing a recording of my own voice or seeing a photo of how I used to dress or comb my hair. But mostly it's like reading letters from past versions of myself. It amuses me. I leave them here in the hopes they do the same for you.

Gascogne is quite simply one of my favorite restaurants in New York. It's on my must-go list whenever I'm in Manhattan, and between the international smattering of friends that always join me there, the exquisitely prepared French food, the impeccable choices of (affordable!) French wine the staff helps select and the lively yet intimate atmosphere, every visit is better than the last. In warmer weather they open the back garden patio for dining, adding to the "you've just stepped into a piece of Paris" feeling I always get when I walk through the overly-narrow cold-weather double-door, into the cramped bar and on to the restaurant jammed with traditionally European slightly too-small tables which encourage intimate conversations with old and new friends alike.
Tuesday night's menu included pan-seared foie gras with a pear and honey glaze, confit de canard; my forbidden pleasure of a dish (how can you resist duck that's been preserved in its own fat… I mean, seriously?!), and Crépes Suzette; crépes and orange zest flambeed in Grand Marnier. Two bottles of French Médoc, a complementary round of cognac from the ever-present Cyril at the bar, and five hours of laughter with friends stopping by the table all night long made for an exquisitely perfect evening.

Rubio and Obama duel on diplomacy
Sen. Marco Rubio isn't waiting for a vice presidential offer to go after President Barack Obama: He's been locked in a quiet battle with the White House for months, blocking key diplomatic appointments in hopes of getting his say on foreign policy.
The Rubio-Obama administration skirmish — sloppy, confusing and still largely unresolved — could presage an even bigger, sloppier and more confusing Rubio-Obama political battle this fall.
Story Continued Below
Administration officials say Rubio's move is reckless, placing party politics above the nation's vital economic and security interests.
Amazingly, it's gone virtually unnoticed outside the Spanish-language media, despite touching on some of the most interesting themes of the 2012 campaign: the role of U.S. power in a post-Iraq world, the increasingly decisive role of the Hispanic vote in national politics and the searing political question of whether the talented Mr. Rubio is ready for the big time.
The scrap began when the Florida Republican, whose hawkish positions are rooted in his family's history in Cuba, picked a fight with the Obama administration late last fall over its choice for ambassador to El Salvador, Mari Carmen Aponte, in hopes of getting the State Department to adopt a tougher line with Nicaragua and Cuba.
Under most scenarios, that time-honored gambit to prod presidents, used by ambitious senators ranging from Scoop Jackson to Jesse Helms, would have done more good than harm.
But in this case, it seems to have backfired. Rubio's opposition to Aponte — a diplomat and Democratic staffer born in Puerto Rico — is now being portrayed by Democrats and some Spanish-language media as a broader attack on Puertorriqueños , a critical Latino voting bloc in Florida and other battleground states.
And after Rubio voted against Aponte twice on a pair of committee and procedural votes, he agreed to back her confirmation in mid-December under pressure from Hispanic groups, a move that struck senators on both sides of the aisle as a rookie stumble.
"He's struck out twice. I mean, he says he's for her now, but he [voted] against her twice," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told POLITICO.
"In Nevada, this woman [Aponte] is seen by the Puerto Rican community, the Hispanic community, as really somebody who is an up-and-rising star. … I just think it's a mistake for someone who is supposedly representing Hispanic issues to do what [Rubio] has done," added Reid, who said Rubio hasn't delivered the votes on Aponte that he promised.
Alex Conant, Rubio's spokesman, suggests such criticism of his boss is part of a coordinated Democratic effort to "knock Marco down a peg." He said that effort has included conference calls, ads and quotes lambasting many of Rubio's policies, such as his opposition to the administration's mandate that Catholic hospitals and universities provide birth control.
Conant said Rubio dropped his objection to Aponte in exchange for a new administration statement, delivered in January, asserting that the Sandinista government in Nicaragua may have rigged recent national elections.
As the Senate clock ticked toward the looming Christmas recess, Rubio began trying to persuade seven or eight other Senate Republicans to change their votes, too, to break a filibuster led by his own leadership.
But by the last day of the 2011 session, the votes simply weren't there — and Rubio's leadership hadn't even waived procedural rules against fast-tracking the confirmation. Democrats say Rubio never really had his people lined up; Rubio says Reid dropped the ball.

Charlotte Tilbury Starry Eyes to Hypnotise Eyeshadow Palette for Holiday 2019 Gets an Early Preview Launch September 12th
Who wants the new Charlotte Tilbury Starry Eyes to Hypnotise Eyeshadow Palette for Holiday 2019" Show of hands" Me, me, and me! Charlotte Tilbury Starry Eyes to Hypnotise Eyeshadow Palette gets an early preview launch on September 12th for 24 hours on charlottetilbury.com. Last year, the palette sold out super fast but it did come back likewise for this year's version as it'll officially hit shelves and other retailers on October 3rd but if you're anything like me you NEED things NOW (hey there Veruca Salt!) which means you'll want to have your debit cards at the ready on the 12th.
This year's palette seems a nice mixture of nude and smokier shades. There are 12 total and infused with real diamond powder. Oh la la! I currently don't have a price for the palette but I do know last year the Charlotte Tilbury Stars in Your Eyes Eyeshadow Palette for Holiday 2018 was $75. Hopefully the price remains the same for the Starry Eyes to Hypnotise Eyeshadow Palette. I did purchase last year's version and I was pleased with. A lot of people didn't love it but I did. I know palettes like the Pillow Talk Eyeshadow Palette tend to come across subtle and more sheer but I do think that's why I like CT Beauty. I'm one that's heavy-handed so sometimes I need a more subtle touch with eyeshadow (and blush) which is why I like brands like Charlotte Tilbury and Bobbi Brown. I'm not sure about this year&...

The Dolphins hired Bill Lazor away from Philadelphia to be their offensive coordinator this year, and all offseason the word out of Miami has been about an up-tempo, fast-paced offensive attack. We haven't yet seen what that Dolphins offense looks like against opposing defenses, but players on the Dolphins' defense say the offense is giving them all they can handle.
Among those talking up the Dolphins' offense is veteran cornerback Cortland Finnegan, who arrived in Miami as a free agent this offseason and says he's never before had to go against a team that uses the tempo that Miami's offense has been using in Organized Team Activities.
"I've never seen anything this fast," Finnegan said. "It's great. It's going to be great for us as an offense and defense. To go against one another, compete at this level and do it with this many bullets flying and people running around. So I'm enjoying it."
Finnegan says the Dolphins' defense can't help but get better with the way the Dolphins' offense is practicing.
"I think it's great what the offense is giving us. It's going to help us game time. Game speed's going to definitely be slowed down for us and we appreciate it," Finnegan said.
Last year the Dolphins missed the playoffs because they ended the season with a two-game losing streak in which they scored a grand total of seven points. The Dolphins cannot afford an offense that looks anything like that this year. If the talk out of Miami is to be believed, the offense this year will look a lot different.

Taking obituaries used to be a rite of passage for newspaper reporters. On my first night in the news room in Washington, Pa., a very stern city editor sat me down and explained that "obits" are among the most important things we do, briefly entering the lives of our readers at their most vulnerable time and helping them preserve in print the memories of a lost loved one.
Some 30 years later, I continue to learn that lesson. Many weeks ago, I had a voice-mail from a woman in Oregon asking if I'd received the "purple envelope" that contained her grandfather's obituary. But despite a thorough search of two of our offices, the envelope was not to be found.
I called Allyson that week and told her the search had been unsuccessful but promised to remain vigilant. Sure enough, the purple parcel arrived on my desk some weeks later, and it set off a flurry of phone tag. I called Allyson's home number; she called my work phone. I called her work; she was unavailable. She called me back; my phone's battery was exhausted.
I actually heard her live voice briefly on a Saturday afternoon as I was giving my niece a tour of the DU campus, but my phone promptly lost the signal (ironically enough, just outside the Daniels Cable Center). Finally, this week, we connected, and the obituary of Desmond C. Hughes will appear next Wednesday in the Clear Creek Courant.
At Evergreen Newspapers, we can receive eight or 10 obituaries on a busy week, and we do our best to print them all accurately and respectfully. But every once in a while, something in an obit or in the voice of a survivor stays with me for many weeks after.
I don't know what that thing was with Allyson. Perhaps it's because she shares the first name of one of my very best friends. Or maybe it was the obit itself, which somehow reminded me of the night I wrote my own father's obituary on his typewriter in the emptiest house I've ever been in. Or it could have been the obvious sincerity of the handwritten note that arrived in that well-traveled purple envelope.
Allyson told me in our first actual conversation that she works as a teacher, and it's no stretch for me to imagine that her grandfather was very proud of that and was honored to have her as his granddaughter.

A longtime San Diego defense attorney intimidated a witness and tried to hide $100,000 in drug money for a client, the attorney admitted in court Tuesday.
James Warner, a defense attorney for alleged drug dealers and criminal defendants for more than 40 years, accepted the terms of a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.
Court records reveal Warner promised to invest the $100,000 in drug money overseas, and even pay the drug dealer 18 percent on the cash.
In September, his law office became a crime scene when federal agents, armed with a search warrant, found $200,000 cash hidden in a suitcase. Most of the money was in a vacuum sealed bag and was linked to drug dealers, prosecutors said.
The case has echoes of the fictional "Breaking Bad" character Saul Goodman, a lawyer who schemed with meth dealers in the AMC hit that concluded its final season last year. The spin-off "Better Call Saul," named after the character's advertising pitch to clients, is set to begin airing next year.
That cash was in addition to the cash Warner now admits he tried to hide for a client.
According to a search warrant, federal agents had overlooked that drug-related cash when they searched the suspect's home.
When the client brought Warner the money, and explained how it had escaped the agent's notice, Warner allegedly told the client he could hide the money by investing it in a gambling company in Africa.
According to the warrant, Warner told his client the investment would generate 18 percent interest.
He also promised to return that drug-tainted money in a year.
In an interview outside court, after Warner entered his guilty plea, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sherri Walker Hobson took pains to remind the public that defense attorneys play an important role in the criminal justice system.
"I should really emphasize that this conviction today should not reflect negatively on the good work done by defense attorneys," Walker Hobson told NBC 7.
As part of his guilty plea, Warner will pay more than $400,000 in fines, penalties and forfeitures and will avoid prison.
Instead, he faces three years probation, one year of house arrest and must complete 2,000 hours of community service.
"This is a sad and tragic day for Jim Warner, who has been a terrific lawyer in this community, a loving husband and father, and is a fine person," his attorneys, Charles Sevilla and Michael Pancer, told NBC 7.
But a judge could overrule that agreement and send Warner to prison when he is sentenced in October.
Warner indicated in court that he will resign from the State Bar Association. His law license is also subject to revocation, with this guilty plea.

A 911 dispatcher in Washington state called on her own mother to rescue a stranded boater in the Columbia River, knowing her mother could kayak to the area faster than sending the sheriff's office patrol boat.
A 45-year-old kayaker was hanging onto a log piling Sunday afternoon after her kayak sank in swift current near a jetty, Wahkiakum County dispatcher Raedyn Grasseth told The Daily News .
The woman was paddling with a companion when her kayak sank.
"Jetties are very dangerous," Grasseth said Monday. "The currents around them are horrible. It sounds likes her kayak just got sucked toward the jetty and went down."
Her companion left to seek help.
The stranded woman "hung onto the jetty until she could climb up and get on to as much of the log piling as she could and waited," Grasseth said.
Grasseth notified the sheriff's office, then realized her mother, Cindy Faubion, and other members of her family lived nearby and could get there quicker.
"I knew they could be there within five to 10 minutes," Grasseth said.
She called her mother, Cindy Faubion, who is a kayaker. Faubion and other family members quickly paddled to the piling in a kayak and a skiff.
The rescued woman was cold and shaken but did not require medical care.
The woman was visiting from out of town, had limited boating experience and wasn't familiar with the treacherous waters about 30 miles from the mouth of the Columbia River.
"She's lucky she's alive, plain and simple," Grasseth said.

Have just finished what should have been a 3 hour job that turned into 5.
The firm has a nice little office with 3-4 staff.
Started off quite nicely working my way round the room systematically until I get to the pod of desks, where I find one mass of cables.
After unplugging everything (not happy bunnies at this point as they only wanted one PC off at a time) and untangling everything, I found that they had daisy chained 4 extension leads! Not only that, but two were a 4 gang and two were a 6 gang and each was overloaded. The worst plug had actually melted into the ext lead and needed to be prised apart.
The best of it was that they had plenty of wall sockets (with spare) for all the appliances.
Think they had just become complacent and overlooked what was happening.
What's your worst?

The corpse of all-time video game classic Resident Evil came lurching back to life in all its gory HD glory this week.
Fourteen years on from the exclusive Nintendo Gamecube release of Resident Evil Zero comes Resident Evil 0 - a HD remaster available on Xbox One, PS4, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
The game bears all the distinctive hallmarks of the original, for better and worse it has to be said.
The things which made Resident Evil such a huge worldwide hit, like the tension and the incredibly detailed settings, are still there and look better than ever.
In fact the graphics stand up to most modern next gen games.
However, that clunky gameplay, which in a way became a trademark of the title, remains and highlights just how far we have come in the last decade or so in terms of gameplay physics and controls.
It may sound silly but once you get over the initial frustration and find your feet again in the Resident Evil setting, those controls do have a certain element of nostalgic charm.
RE0 has been met with a mixed bag of reviews by critics this week but it really does look stunning.
If you were a fan of the original you will love this regardless of what you've been playing in the near 15 years since.
In the cold light of day it doesn't come close to the survival horror games of today in terms of gameplay and storyline, with the likes of The LastOf Us Remastered way ahead of the field. But that's not the idea here.
Yes it's controls are clunky and outdated and as a result it is difficult to love but it is still a welcome addition to the next gen arena, particularly to have as a digital download (hard copies are available).
The plot is too messy to get into here but suffice to say Resident Evil 0 is well worth a blast if you were a fan of the original.
Those not too familiar with the series, though, should go into it with their eyes wide open.
A worthy and polished remaster but one for the fanboys, of which there are plenty.
