Treviso will return to PRO12 action after their postponed fixture in Glasgow Warriors with a derby game against Zebre at Stadio Monigo.
Treviso return to RaboDirect PRO12 action after their postponed fixture in Glasgow with a derby game against Zebre at Stadio Monigo on Saturday.
It will be the debut of head coach Marius Goosen.
His back-three will be Brendan Williams, Luke McLean and Ludovico Nitoglia, with Christian Loamanu paired with Alberto Sgarbi at centre.
Mat Berquist is paired with Edoardo Gori as the half-backs while the back-row is Robert Barbieri at number eight and Manoa Vosawai and Alessandro Zanni packing down on the flanks.
Captain Antonio Pavanello and Corniel Van Zyl are the locks, while Lorenzo Cittadini, Leonardo Ghiraldini and Alberto De Marchi are the front-row.
Zebre meanwhile enter the game buoyed by a much-improved effort against Ulster at Ravenhill, where they went down to a credible 13-6 defeat.
Luciano Orquera and Brendon Leonard are their half-backs, Roberto Quartaroli and Gonzalo Garcia form the midfield while skipper Marco Bortolami is alongside Quintin Geldenhuys at lock.
Form: Treviso had a fruitless trip to Glasgow on Friday with a waterlogged pitch putting paid to their plans. Treviso have not won since beating Connacht 23-3 at Stadio Monigo in Round Five of the PRO12. Zebre achieved a third losing bonus point of the season against Ulster in Belfast on Friday and have won just once in the PRO12: 30-25 at the Cardiff Blues in Round Three. The two teams have met twice before in the holiday period last season with Treviso taking both encounters.
The teams:
Treviso: 15 Brendan Williams, 14 Ludovico Nitoglia, 13 Christian Loamanu, 12 Alberto Sgarbi, 11 Luke McLean, 10 Mat Berquist, 9 Tobias Botes, 8 Robert Barbieri, 7 Alessandro Zanni, 6 Manoa Vosawai, 5 Corniel Van Zyl, 4 Antonio Pavanello (c), 3 Lorenzo Cittadini, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini, 1 Alberto De Marchi.
Replacements: 16 Franco Sbaraglini, 17 Michele Rizzo, 18 Ignacio Fernandez-Rouyet, 19 Marco Fuser, 20 Valerio Bernabò, 21 Dean Budd, 22 Tobias Botes, 23 James Ambrosini.

Pink flowers are 5-6" across with charming ruffled edges and red anthers. The soft cotton candy pink of Hagley Hybrid matures to a blushed ivory pink creating a nice tone-on-tone color scheme on one plant. Works well in a rose garden where a companion is needed. Vigorous grower. Blooms June and September.
Gracefully meandering over fences, trellises or through shrubbery, Clematis supply vertical interest. Every perennial garden should have at least one of these incredible vines.
Clematis are prized for their incredible flowers, most as large as your hand. "Queen of the Climbers" will train onto trellises, fences or arch over doorways. Stunning when used alone or when several colors are mixed. Grower's tip: Truest colors require full sun, as any shade will introduce purple tones. Flower color and bloom size may vary while the plant is establishing.
Pruning Type 3 - This group blooms later and from new growth. These should be pruned in February or March as new leaf buds begin to show low on the plant. Also remove all dead material above the buds and clean out any old or mildewed foliage at this time. If intertwining Clematis, pruning will be easier if you select varieties with the same pruning type.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Skip to comments.Tribune Aims to Sell Newspaper Business
Posted on 02/26/2013 1:53:01 PM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach
Tribune Co. has enlisted investment banks to help sell its newspaper business, including the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, people familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Circling the drain, they are.
Long, it won't be.
Put it up on eBay... I bid 50 cents!
I see them going for pennies. lol.
Buy a copy, get a share!
Tribune Co. hires investment bankers to explore sale of newspaper unit
The Los Angeles Times offices. (Mel Melcon / Los Angeles Times)
Paging Rupert Murdoch!.........
Time to clean the Commies out.
Obama sycophants.
There has been widespread speculation that Tribune would attempt to unload the newspaper business to focus on its more promising television operations. Rupert Murdochs News Corp. is among the possible bidders for the newspaper assets.
$100.00 is my offer for the whole operation.
Nice building.
Now here's an opportunity for some intelligent investor(s) to secure a couple of significant media outlets and publish some real news instead of all the BS, lies, and propaganda...
so little competition... how could it do anything but succeed!?
$105 but they have to fire that idiot Lou Grant.
$110.00 and they are all fired.
I wouldn't mind having a small press, just for hobby stuff... deliver my own little FReeps to the hometown.
$12.50 that's my final offer
The Chandler clan got out of the Tribune Co. just in time back in 2007.
We could turn out a btter paper with a 60's memeograph machine.
I could see buying yhat,..fixing it up and renting it out to professionsa;l,...like lawyers and doctors.
Yes we probably could
I still remember the smell of that crazy ink.
Nothing like having your teacher as your dealer/supplier ;-)
It made me sneeze and I hated it but I do remember it.
I always liked it. We used to get close and inhale deeply.
i used to love the newspaper format, I wished there were conservatives ones but there aren't except for the money-losing Washington Times.
I really hated it. I started school in 60. The first I remember memeograph was 65.
What newspaper business?
US or Canadian?
How about the smell of Ditto ink?
Ditto printing is the smell people are thinking of.
The Ditto was before my time.
Not me. I'm only 59 years old.
Right. I'm 58 and I used service those things. That fluid burns like hell when you get it in a cut.
You wish. It doesn't take an operating profit to make owning a newspaper profitable.
How does that work (w/o gov't subsidies)?
It is easy to manipulate the value of an asset with the power of the press simply by promoting or panning it. When government gets too democratic, manipulating majority opinion is a way to use government to manipulate asset value, whether by ginning up regulations, lawsuits, or simply calling into question product safety. Even the timing of a news release can control the degree of profit made in the stock market.
Hence, the power to manipulate public opinion is a profitable asset even if the advertising and subscription revenues do not support continuing operations. Power is effectively power for sale. Always has been.
That would work, especially with immunity from prosecution from crony political manipulation.
Qatar will probably snap them up.
Calls planner, 'We've heard about complaints about this developer before. Could you look into and make sure this deal is on the up and up?' Versus, 'Oh, he's a good guy, come on up and let's see how we can work this out.'
The difference could be in the millions. That's power. Too much power. Now you know why the Times Mirror Corporation is the second largest developer in California.
Imaging has come a long way. Communication has come a long way. Everything but humanity has come a long way. The average person is lost without all their electronics. It amusing me to no end to see a 30 something who has lost their smart phone. Total meltdown ensues.
I have to laugh at that comment- far side of thirty- losing cell phone is cause for concern No crying just blessed silence.
However when FR was down that was different story- LOL- serious withdrawal
I want everybody associated with the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms to lose their jobs, their homes, and their families. For what they did to the former America they deserve nothing less.
Maybe the assclown who bought Newsweak will give the Tribune $5 for their newspaper business
IIRC, The Times Mirror is no more, having been sold to the Tribune Co in 2000. The Chandler trusts bailed out of that entity in 2007. Recall that's when realtor Sam Zell bought the thing and spectacularly rode Tribune to bankruptcy.
True, the Chandler-owned Times Mirror did have major real estate holdings, but I think (but do not know for sure) they were spun off from the newspaper/tv entity.
I do know that Tejon Ranch, in Kern County, still operates, but it's an independent company. I couldn't tell you what were the other Chandler real estate holdings, but that stuff never went with the Tribune buyout in 2000, I'm pretty sure.
BTW, I agree with your argument about newspapers and power. They don't have the clout they used to, but they're worth something in political capital.
Otherwise, that consortium of liberals in Pennsylvania never would have bought the Philadelphia Inquirer a couple of years ago. It was, and still is, losing money, but they bought it anyway.
Roger that. I was checking access to FR every 30 minutes. But I did remain calm. : )

In a life-loving society, momentary circumstances should never be the determining factor in a woman's decision to abort.
Today marks 40 years since the Supreme Court established a legal right to abortion in Roe v. Wade. The March for Life and other groups gather Friday for their annual journey on foot from downtown Washington, D.C., to the Supreme Court. Media coverage of the event promises to be as thin as in past years. The message is not popular: America has failed to support its women and children. A national abdication of social responsibility continues.
MICHELMAN and TRACY: 'Roe v. Wade' about much more than abortion
Thanks to Roe, unplanned pregnancy is enshrined in our culture as a woman's problem. Celebrating "a woman's right to choose" is a convenient way to get out of confronting complicated issues that can lead a woman to think abortion is the only option. Many women choose to end pregnancies they would otherwise want because of short-term circumstances, such as little money, the need to finish school, lack of partner support, no access to child care or already limited resources for existing children.
That's insulting. It forces women to make life-long decisions based on the situation of the moment. It's the equivalent of patting a woman on the head and helping her get out of her little predicament by making it go away. It's certainly an easier choice for an uncommitted partner to pay $300-$1,000 for an abortion now rather than pay his share of the $234,900 that the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates it costs to raise a child to age 18.
In a life-loving society, circumstances should never be the determining factor in a woman's decision to abort. We need a better answer to the question of how to fit unplanned -- but not necessarily unwanted -- pregnancies into women's present realities and future goals. "The health care of the future will deal with the well-being of the whole woman and the potential of the whole girl, including her relationships with family, church and community," Chuck Donovan, president of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the research arm of Susan B. Anthony List, told me. "We've found that pro-life pregnancy centers raise substantially more private funding than Planned Parenthood clinics. Pregnancy resource centers are entering their heyday."
Planned Parenthood and other pro-choice organizations must shift focus from raising money on the fear of threats to Roe to offering support for women's continuing challenges. Some of the justice issues that abortion was supposed to address have only grown worse since the 1973 decision. The number of single mothers below the poverty line has increased dramatically and is the group with the highest poverty rate in the country. According to the Census Bureau, 31.6% of female-headed households were poor in 2010. This is double the 15.8% headed by men who are poor and more than five times higher than the married-couple households at 6.2%.
In 1971, lawyer Sarah Weddington who represented "Jane Roe", described to the Supreme Court the troubles pregnant women encountered, including being forced to quit jobs, drop out of school, being denied access to financial support or refused post-pregnancy employment. While it is now illegal for employers to discriminate based on pregnancy or parenthood, we have far to go to being a society that nurtures women and children. Employers should explore offering extended maternity and paternity leave benefits as a competitive means to attract and retain employees. Religious communities should offer child care options to congregants in support of family life. The government should consider offering the child tax credit to expectant mothers. We should double down on programs promoting and supporting healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood.
The appalling implications of the loss of more than 50 million unborn lives in the United States since 1973 require action. As a nation, we must offer real opportunities to women to stop needless destruction of life and our own future along with it.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

This pie is impossibly easy because there is no crust to roll out. The crust forms as the pie bakes.
Save this recipe. It's a great way to use up extra holiday ham.
Savory Impossibly Easy Pies can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to bake a bit longer than the recipe directs since you'll be starting with a cold pie. Watch carefully for doneness.

Young children have a wonderful way of breathing new life into traditions and holidays – and Halloween is a prime example. Their wonderment and enthusiasm are all the motivation many of us need to break out the decorations, carve a couple pumpkins, whip up a quick costume, and head out for some trick-or-treating. But all the excitement of the holiday can cause safety to be overlooked to potentially disastrous ends. To ensure that everyone has a fun and safe Halloween, follow these simple safety tips.
Trick-or-Treating Tips
Buy flame-resistant costumes, masks, wigs, etc. Look for the Flame Resistant label.
Avoid costumes with long trains, baggy sleeves or loose pieces that can drag in a candle or jack-o-lantern and catch fire.
Hem your child's costume up to avoid getting tangled in legs and cause your child to trip and fall.
Choose a costume that is light colored and/or apply reflector tape to your child's costume if you'll be out at twilight or after dark. Carrying a flashlight or glow-sticks is a good idea too.
Substitute any props such as swords or pointed daggers with ones made of softer material or without dangerous sharp edges or points. Avoid using fake guns as they can be mistaken for the real thing.
Paint your child's face with nontoxic face paint instead of wearing a mask, which can make it hard for him or her to breathe and see.
Never let your child trick-or-treat alone. Older children should only trick-or-treat in groups, and younger ones should be accompanied by an adult.
Trick-or-treat only in familiar areas or neighborhoods.
Make sure your child's costume also allows for easy bathroom access…the last thing you or your child wants is an accident to cut a fun night short. You may also want to schedule a bathroom break into your trick-or-treating plans.
Write emergency identification information (name, address, phone number) inside your child's costume or on a light-colored wrist band.
Make sure your child's costume is climate-appropriate. If it's already chilly at night in your area and your child's costume is lightweight, make sure he or she can fit warm clothing underneath the costume. Or, if it's still balmy and warm, make sure your child won't be too warm in his or her costume.

Rivera won't go beyond saying he's pro-life
NARAL director touts Giron, faults Rivera on abortion, contraception
George Rivera, the Republican candidate to replace state Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, shied away from answering questions Thursday about his views on abortion, contraception and whether he'd support a constitutional amendment saying a person's life begins at conception.
"I'm pro-life," Rivera said Thursday. "That's all I'm going to say. Anything more would muddy up the issues and this recall election is about Senator Giron and her failure to represent her constituents."
Giron is facing a recall election Sept. 10 that is already underway and Rivera is the only named alternative candidate on the ballot.
Karen Middleton, executive director of the National Abortion Rights Action League Colorado, was in Pueblo on Thursday. She credited Giron for opposing a Republican resolution in 2012 that said Congress should exempt some employers from having to provide contraception in their health insurance policies for employees.
"In a community that has chronically high unintended and teen pregnancy rates, Senator Giron's support of furthering access to contraception was yet another example of common sense solutions that affect her constituents," Middleton said in a statement.
She then criticized Rivera for being anti-choice and claimed he would put women's reproductive rights at risk.
Asked for his response, Rivera wouldn't go beyond saying he was "pro-life."
"Those are my personal views and I don't have an agenda to legislate them," he said.
Giron also pointed to her support for Planned Parenthood health services for women and wondered where Rivera stood on that.
The state allocates $10 million annually to Planned Parenthood for nonabortion services such as cancer-screenings.
"His silence on theses issues is deafening," she said.

Through traffic at Fairfax County Parkway to use Fair Lakes Circle
FAIRFAX―On Wednesday, July 6, a six-month detour begins for through traffic on Fair Lakes Parkway at Fairfax County Parkway, as part of the ongoing interchange construction at this location.
The first phase of the detour will prohibit Fair Lakes Parkway through traffic at the Fairfax County Parkway. Motorists will be directed from Fair Lakes Parkway to Fair Lakes Circle and back to Fair Lakes Parkway.
Motorists will continue to have access to and from the Fairfax County Parkway during this phase of the detour, which will be in place through the fall 2011. Electronic message signs will be in place to direct drivers through the detour. It is expected to add about five to ten minutes to trips through the area.
The next phases of the detour, for traffic heading from Monument Drive to westbound Fair Lakes Parkway via Fairfax County Parkway, and left turns from Fair Lakes Parkway to Fairfax County Parkway, are scheduled for this fall, and will also be announced in advance. Motorists can view all phases of the detour and maps at the project web page here.
In addition to the detour, the speed limit on Fair Lakes Parkway will be reduced from 45 mph to 35 mph.
The new $69.5 million interchange at Fairfax County Parkway and Fair Lakes Parkway will improve pedestrian and cyclist access, widen more than three miles of the Fairfax County Parkway, and improve traffic flow by separating local and Parkway traffic through this busy area. The entire project is scheduled for completion in 2013.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

"This is such a fun purse that I smile when I use it. It's not a huge-carry-everything-including-the-kitchen-sink purse, but more of a girl's-day-out-need-to-show-my-inner-sheera purse.

Social taboo of meeting online now firmly broken
Social taboo of meeting online now firmly broken
New study reveals that 85% of us would meet someone we have chatted to online
21st October 2011: The stigma attached to meeting people online has become a thing of the past according to new research just released from Badoo.com, the world's fastest growing Social Network for meeting new people.
Two in three people are friends with or have dated someone they've met online and a resounding majority of 85% of people around the world would use the internet to meet new people if they moved to a new area.
Only 14% of people prefer to meet new friends and partners the old fashioned way and less than a third of people are yet to chat to someone online and then arrange to meet them in person.
And it is the Spanish who are leading the way with almost 80% of the population having met someone that they had only chatted to online previously. Further afield, it is the Brazilians (69.6%), the French (70%), and the Italians (69%) who have done the most online meeting, either platonically or romantically. Brits (66%) follow behind and the Americans take the place of most conservative nation at 58.9%.
Lloyd Price, a spokesman for Badoo.com who carried out the study, said: "Traditionally, meeting people online was slightly taboo; it was perhaps seen as for women and men of a certain age who had been unlucky in love.
"However, it is clear now that more and more people see the benefits of meeting online. Life is so busy, people go to bars and parties to catch up with friends and don't want to use that precious time meeting new people; they'd prefer online meeting networks to do the work for them."
"Plus, the advantages of location based social networks means that people can chat to and meet people in their local area. We've seen such demand at Badoo.com with a significant increase in mobile downloads in the past six months,"
The study of 12,000 18 to 59 year olds from Brazil, Spain, France, Italy, the UK and the USA revealed that more than half (66 per cent) know someone who's met their current partner online.

Internationally recognized cancer biologist Joan Massagué has been named Director of the Sloan Kettering Institute. He was previously Chair of the Cancer Biology and Genetics Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Renowned cancer biologist Joan Massagué has been named Director of the Sloan Kettering Institute, one of the most dynamic and robust cancer research programs in the United States, and the research arm of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Dr. Massagué, Chair of the Cancer Biology and Genetics Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering, succeeds Thomas J. Kelly. Dr. Massagué will assume his new position on January 1, 2014.
"Dr. Massagué is an exemplary scientist and an international leader in the study of cancer metastasis and the growth factors that regulate cell behavior. He is one of Memorial Sloan Kettering's most vital, imaginative, and collaborative members," says Craig B. Thompson, President and CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering. "He led the Sloan Kettering Institute's Cell Biology Program and its Cancer Biology and Genetics Program, successively – and brilliantly – even as his own research was advancing.
"I am delighted that he will now lead the Sloan Kettering Institute, confident that he will do so with great distinction," Dr. Thompson adds. "The breadth of Dr. Massagué's expertise and his superb ability to bring people together will ensure that the Sloan Kettering Institute continues to flourish and remains one of the world's preeminent research institutions."
The Sloan Kettering Institute was established in 1945 by philanthropist Alfred P. Sloan and inventor Charles F. Kettering with the vision of harnessing the latest research techniques to conquer cancer. With a research staff that today includes more than 100 laboratory investigators, 550 research fellows, and 260 graduate students — and with $184 million in grants and contracts revenue — the Institute leads the way in biomedical research, frequently translating scientific advances into innovative clinical applications, including the development of nine FDA-approved drugs.
"I am honored beyond words by the trust Memorial Sloan Kettering has placed in me to lead the Sloan Kettering Institute and serve it in its quest to bring top-quality science to bear on solving the problem of cancer," says Dr. Massagué. "We have many of the most gifted scientists and one of the best science programs in the nation. I look forward to cultivating this rich diversity of research disciplines in order to maximize their impact on the research, education, and patient care missions of the institution at large.
"One of the attractions of this position is that it involves thinking about where science is going, where the Sloan Kettering Institute should be going, and planning for an exciting future," Dr. Massagué adds. "I am eager to work with my colleagues to move forward the frontiers of cancer biomedical research."
Career and Research Contributions
Joan Massagué was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1953. He earned his PhD in pharmacy and biochemistry from the University of Barcelona in 1978 and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Brown University in 1982 in the laboratory of Michael P. Czech, where he determined the structure of the receptor for the hormone insulin. Later that year, he became an assistant professor in biochemistry at the University of Massachusetts.
In 1989, he joined Memorial Sloan Kettering as the Chair of the Sloan Kettering Institute's Cell Biology Program and in 2003 was named inaugural Chair of the Cancer Biology and Genetics Program. Dr. Massagué has been a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator for the past 24 years, and is the incumbent of the Alfred P. Sloan Chair at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
With a research career spanning more than 30 years, Dr. Massagué has been lauded for the originality and importance of his work elucidating the mechanism of action for transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling. The TGF-β family of proteins plays a key role in the proliferation and differentiation of many different cell types, controlling the formation and regeneration of tissues from embryonic life to adulthood.
Because the proteins can both inhibit and activate cell growth, breakdowns in TGF-β activity cause cancer in adults as well as serious birth defects. In cancer, TGF-β can act as a tumor suppressor in early stages of cancer and as a promoter of the spread of cancer in the later stages of tumor progression. To find ways to prevent and treat such disorders, Dr. Massagué and his group are determining the molecular processes by which TGF-β exerts its control on the growth and behavior of diverse cell types.
More recently, Dr. Massagué's primary research interests involve how growth factors, signaling pathways, and gene expression programs control cancer cell metastasis — the process by which cancer spreads from one part of the body to another. Metastasis is the cause of 90 percent of deaths from cancer, yet until recently, little was known about its underlying mechanisms.
Dr. Massagué's lab has probed the basic causes of metastasis in a number of different cancers – such as breast, lung, and kidney cancer – and identified genes and pathways that give tumor cells the specialized traits they need to infiltrate specific organs, survive in them, and spawn new tumors. This work could lead to innovative approaches to treat cancer that would prevent cancers from spreading rather than eliminating established tumors.
Dr. Massagué has authored more than 300 scientific articles and has been one of the most-cited researchers in all areas of science in the past two decades. In addition, he has mentored and trained more than 100 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.Back to top
Honors and Awards
A member of the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Massagué has received numerous honors and awards, including the King Juan Carlos I Research Award (1993); the Prince of Asturias Award in Science and Technology (2004); the Vilcek Prize for Biomedical Research (2006); the Passano Laureate Award (2007); the G.H.A. Clowes Memorial Award from the American Association for Cancer Research (2009); the Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Biomedicine from the BBVA Foundation (2009); the Feodor Lynen Medal (2010); the Pasarow Award for Cancer Research (2011); and the Italian American Cancer Foundation Prize (2013).Back to top

Dear Dr. Massa
Congratulations on your recent appointment. Thank you for your commitment to your work and to the mission of MSKCC. You remind me very much of your colleague, Dr. Peter Steinherz whose own research and life-time career at MSKCC proved essential in my son's surving both ALL and its treatment from 1978 to 1981. My son is alive and well, employed as, he likes to say, a "transportational engineer", happily married, and has a heart of gold. I am a modest financial contributor to MSKCC and am glad to think that it goes to help MSKCC in its pursuit of conquering cancer.
Best wishes,
Harry Kuhn, PhD(c), MSW, LCSW

Perdone Dr. Massagué, le podría hacer llegar esta nota al Dr Larry Norton? Es que no sé su dirección de correo.... Muchas gracias!! y enhorabuena por todo lo que están haciendo por todos los enfermos. Muchas gracias.
Hola Dr. Norton : Mi nombre es Pilar Medina, fui paciente suya en Julio 1996, tenía 34 años y padecía cáncer de mama con metástasis en el pulmón. Soy de Sevilla España (paciente del Dr. Hernán Cortés-Funes). Estuve en el Memorial Sloan y me operó la Dra. Valerie Rush. En España el tratamiento era operación y altas dosis de quimioterapia más autotrasplante. Ud. sabiamente después de operarme, me dijo q no me diera la quimioterapia, que esperara a q salieran drogas nuevas, porque este tratamiento de autotrasplantes en mujeres jóvenes no era efectivo. Actualmente estoy con Zoladex trimestral desde 1996. Llevo casi 18 años... Sigo con el Dr. Cortés-Funes en España, pero me acuerdo mucho de Ud. y quería decirle con este mensaje que existen ángeles en la tierra y uno de ellos se llama Dr. Larry Norton. Muchas gracias por todo lo que hace en su lucha contra el cáncer. Muchas gracias Dr. Norton. No hay palabras para decirle lo mucho que estoy agradecida. Un saludo muy fuerte y todos mis mejores deseos.

As our lives change and our goals shift, so too does our style. The start of a new year is the perfect time to take stock of your wardrobe, think about what you want to achieve this year, and how your wardrobe can help.
Dressing well is an art form. It takes practice and hard work. Having a firm style direction will help guide you and save you from staring at your wardrobe every morning thinking you have nothing to wear. It will make shopping easier, give you more confidence, and give you a reason to make an effort.
These five easy tips will help redefine your style.
1. Research
This is the most important and most time-consuming exercise. Start by thinking about your favourite outfits. When have you felt your best? Then scour magazines - not just Vogue or Fashion Quarterly either. Think outside the box. Go to your local library and grab stacks of different mags to pore over. Don't limit yourself to recent ones. If there are archives, ransack them. Watch films with strong, definitive styles (from any era).
Join Pinterest, click on the WIWT ("what I wore today") and OOTD ("outfit of the day") hashtags on Twitter and read fashion blogs. Pay attention to what other people are wearing in your neighbourhood, school, workplace or city.
Street style blogs are a great source of inspiration. Besides the big-name overseas ones (thesartorialist.com and jakandjil.com), try Auckland-based Four Eyes blog (eyeseyeseyeseyes.com) or Wellingtonian-abroad Jessie Bush's We the People Style (wethepeoplestyle.com). All these things will help inspire you and give you a sense of the looks you love.
2. Recycle
Now that you have some idea of where you're headed, have a real, honest look at your wardrobe. Try on everything to see what fits or doesn't - both literally and figuratively -with your new style direction. What classics or basics do you already have? What gaps are there? Make notes of everything. Anything that doesn't work can either go in the dress-up box (yes, I have one and I don't have children - it's handy), on Trade Me, or to a consignment store or your nearest charity shop of choice. Alternatively, give them to a friend who you think may suit them. This will help garner goodwill for the next tip.
3. Reinvent
Now it's time to include someone else. Ask that friend of yours - you know, the one who is honest and has a good eye for detail and proportion - to help you go through your wardrobe. Get them to style you. Then go through their wardrobe. Ask to borrow things you think may suit your new direction. This will help you figure out what you're missing and what suits you without spending a cent. If you fall in love with something, you could arrange a trade or sale or write it down as something to keep an eye out for in stores. See if they have old accessories they don't wear. Take them home and style them into your wardrobe. Wear things you wouldn't normally, just to see how it feels.
4. Record
As you complete each step, record everything you love. Pin or save a folder of pictures you love online, make notes in what will become your style handbook or create a mood board of images you love from magazines and books. Don't limit yourself to outfit or clothes photos either. If you see a pattern, colour or building that inspires you, or a film poster, book cover or page of typography - all those things can help you define your style. Take daily outfit photos. When you look in a mirror, you tend to automatically focus on one point or aspect of your outfit or body. By taking a photo you are forced to see the whole, giving you a better sense of whether the outfit works or not. Don't forget to also note when a particular outfit makes you feel fantastic, as that's important, too. Once you start to get a sense of what you love and makes you happy, write a style manifesto. It could be an entire page or as simple as "skinny jeans and ballet flats" or "rockabilly" - whatever works for you and will remind you of your style goals. Keep it somewhere you will regularly see it, whether that's lipstick on your bathroom mirror or a Post-it note in your wallet.
5. Retail
Now's the time to fill those gaps and buy any basics you may be missing. There's no rush though; you could make it a year-long adventure. When out shopping, refer to your manifesto. Think "does this fit with my style direction?" before you pull out your credit card. At the same time, don't be afraid to buy on impulse. Every now and then you'll come across a piece that inexplicably makes your heart go all aflutter.
Don't let your sensible side talk you out of it, either. If you truly love it, you'll find a way to wear it.

Skip to comments.Old Antiquated Constitution is just too hard for Progressive Liberals to Understand
Posted on 12/31/2010 7:47:22 AM PST by Alaphiah123
Returning to the Constitution, thats what Republicans want to do in the new Congress. In the last year, the two hundred and twenty-three year old document has been getting a whole lot a lip service so when the One hundred and twelfth Congress is sworn in next week expect to hear a lot more about it because the Constitution is at the center of three coming Congressional battles. Nora Roberts
Nora Roberts on the daily rundown interviewed Ezra Klein of The Washington Post regarding Republicans who have the majority in the House of Representatives coming in January. They discuss Republicans plan to read the Constitution in the House and Republicans plan to cite Constitution authority for every bill when 112th Congress reconvenes.
(Excerpt) Read more at creatingorwellianworld-view-alaphiah.blogspot.com ...
Communist goal number 29 as read on the house floor in 1963.
"29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis."
I have a set of history books written by 19th Century historian Charles C. Coffin. They were written for elementary school children, as he addresses his readers as "boys and girls".
The writing style, the syntax, and the vocabulary would present a challenge to most of the college educated people I know. Even I had to acclimate myself to the dense prose and rich literary textures.
The Constitution was brief, because, by my reckoning, most people had a richer, broader language and a deeper understanding of words, thus fewer words were necessary to convey precise meaning.
To the average Leftist, even Marx or Darwin would be too dense a read, and I regard both as simpletons when compared to other authors and thinkers in their day.
This is exactly what is going on!
Yes West, America has been dumbed down by Liberals, me thinks
Its because we allowed men like William Ayers to slink away into the shadows when they should have been crushed, imprisoned, or allowed to flee the country in fear for their lives.
In addition to a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, it might also be instructive to the American people to have a public reading of the Communist Manifesto's ten principles in order to see how closely they align with the positions of the American democrat party.
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc.
Along with the communist goals.
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
The communist manifesto was written over 150 years ago, in 1848. But I bet this POS journalist knows it by heart. Or whatever black organ resides in his chest.
Oh they understand it very well. But it interferes with their agenda.
Bingo. That says it all. End of story. Period. These people are nothing but the same old communists
That pesky Constitution just keeps getting in the way of the Brave New World.
LOL. That's a good one.
Ah the father of the JournoList. Is he admitting that he's as stupid as we know he is?
HR Herlong read that on the floor of the house in 1963 as a means of exposing the left as the source of the strife that was going on at the time.
It needs a reading again and I suspect there would be a great many official objections from democrat representatives.
...and the recent Health Care bill was so easy.
Liberals do suffer from mental illness and there is even a book out on that. Ill just say in this case the illness displaying itself as premeditated ignorance and practiced irrationality.
Alexander Hamilton explained how to read the Constitution in the Federalist Papers. The essence of our Constitution embodies positively allowed actions. Intentionally, the multitude of actions not allowed by each government branch remains unexpressed. Therefore, Hamilton in Federalist Paper 78 uses the term manifest tenor meaning clearly visible direction of thought, and in Federalist Paper 81 rejects a popularly acclaimed spirit when explaining judgment. With his guidance it is not that difficult to figure out.
What a dork, and I usually don't attack a person's appearance unless, of course, that person is Michelle Obama.
He looks like Pinky Lee.
First off, like a lot of conservatives, you treat the Constitution as if it were something that it's not. You invoke the Constitution as a magic word -- ascribing to it mystical powers of organizational perfection, as if the Constitution, in itself, holds the power to make us all free, well-behaved, and self-sufficient.
Second, you tacitly assume that everybody basically agrees on the principles embodied in the Constitution, and on how those principles should be applied in real life.
The fact that you wrote this piece at all, should be a big clue that your assumptions are wrong.
It's not just you -- it's a failing common to a lot of conservatives, who apparently do not understand what John Adams meant when he said,
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams understood what today's conservatives do not: that the Constitution -- as wonderful as it is -- is nothing more than a formal statement of a pre-existing common agreement on how government and people should co-exist. It was based, further, on an assumption that people are not only "moral," but more importantly that people have a common understanding of what "moral" means.
That common understanding no longer exists (if it ever really did....). It is not possible to "return" to the good old days, unless and until some sort of common agreement can be re-established.
If you want to be effective, you need to start making the case for conservative and moral behavior. Because the alternative -- expecting people to live by principles with which they do not agree -- leads to the use of force to make them live that way.
Only liberal commies disagree with the Constitution. And you are still a troll.
It would be really wonderful if, some day, you demonstrated the capacity to behave and discuss like an adult.
Again, only commies disagree with the Constitution. And I'm never insulted by anything a troll says. You are critical of everything Conservative, including the Tea Party. NS got a trip out the door. Hopefully you will too.
Do you have anything intelligent to say about my post? Or are you just in typical stomp and pout mode.
NS got a trip out the door. Hopefully you will too.
Oooohhhh, comrade. You want to sic the though police on me? How very Constitutional of you. But thanks for proving my point.
The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government." Patrick Henry
I have only read history since retirement, but my younger son keeps bringing up 1984 in discussions we have and I have not read it since high school. You and my son may soon get me to brake the history habit, if just for a little while.
And you know this ... how? Because your hissy fit tells you so?
The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government." Patrick Henry
And yet, "the people" have not restrained the government, and in fact have seemed quite willing to let it expand.
Do you have any clue as to how that might have come about?
Perhaps, should you choose (for once) to think rather than to emote, you might go back to what I wrote. You might actually learn something.
Because you have no idea what the Constitution is.
Parrots say the same thing over and over, not knowing what they're saying. Are you a parrot?
And your post 21 is a load of liberal feel good claptrap.
"The way to have safe government is not to trust it all to the one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to everyone exactly the functions in which he is competent....To let the National Government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations..... The State Governments with the Civil Rights, Laws, Police and administration of what concerns the State generally. The Counties with the local concerns, and each ward direct the interests within itself. It is by dividing and subdividing these Republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations until it ends in the administration of everyman's farm by himself, by placing under everyone what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best." Thomas Jefferson
"I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform them." James Madison
Is John Adams' quote really "liberal claptrap," or do you simply refuse to acknowledge his point?
Your post was liberal claptrap and it isn't Adams fault that you dragged him into your feel good nonsense.
"... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 (C.J. Boyd, Ed., 1950)
I'm sorry but I have to sign off and go lay down. My fever isn't coming down. Later. Maybe.
.... taking advantage of people (including us) who have forgotten that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Not only that, but conservatives are just as likely to support expansion of government into those areas that most tickle our fancies -- the military (and military/industrial complex) being an excellent example.
The problem with conservatism is (and has always been) the tendency to assume that people agree with us, and that simply to state some principle or clause of the Constitution is sufficient to win any argument.
But we tend to lack any mechanism by which to educate regular people about conservative ideas, and we definitely lack convincing answers when faced with an actual argument, especially in a situation for which the power of government seems to offer a sensible solution.
You are doing God's work.
Its because we allowed men like William Ayers
to slink away into the shadows to become the architects of the American educational system.
No. You did not.
First off, like a lot of conservatives, you treat the Constitution as if it were something that it's not. You invoke the Constitution as a magic word -- ascribing to it mystical powers of organizational perfection, as if the Constitution, in itself, holds the power to make us all free, well-behaved, and self-sufficient.
It is magical. America was The Great Experiment, labeled such by George Washington. And a successful one until communists started destroying it from within. There has never been another country like ours and never will be.
holds the power to make us all free, well-behaved, and self-sufficient
No. It gives us the right to Life, Liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness as was stated in the Declaration. It gives people the right to succeed or fail WITHOUT government interference.
Second, you tacitly assume that everybody basically agrees on the principles embodied in the Constitution, and on how those principles should be applied in real life.
Are you Ezra Klein? This is pure liberal claptrap. The Constitution VERY CLEARLY lays out the powers of government and the rights of the citizens. Anyone who disagrees with the limited power of government and the freedoms of the people is cordially invited to move to their favorite totalitarian regime.
that the Constitution -- as wonderful as it is -- is nothing more than a formal statement of a pre-existing common agreement on how government and people should co-exist.
More liberal claptrap. Again, the Constitution enumerates the LIMITED powers of government and the FREEDOMS of the governed.
It was based, further, on an assumption that people are not only "moral," but more importantly that people have a common understanding of what "moral" means.
People DO know what is moral and what is not. And the immoral constantly push the envelope. Government engages in immoral behavior in order to make citizens slaves. William Pitt said ""Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves." We need to cutoff and destroy overblown government in order to free the people. The Tea Party that you hold in contempt is trying to do that.
That common understanding no longer exists (if it ever really did....).
Yes. It does. Liberals wish that it didn't.
Where is your response? Haven't got one?
Your responses to me are ridiculously shallow, and they demonstrate that you are either unable, or unwilling, to think beyond the easy bumpersticker answer that somebody has fed you.
Your responses to me are ridiculously shallow, and they demonstrate that you are either unable, or unwilling, to think beyond the easy bumpersticker answer that somebody has fed you.
I see. You haven't got one so you engage in insults in order to deflect. Got it.
You're simply not worth the effort.
BS. I quoted you.
You're simply not worth the effort.

Skip to comments.Ranger zaps off-leash dog walker with shock weapon
Posted on 01/31/2012 10:11:22 AM PST by servo1969
A Montara man walking two lapdogs off leash was hit with an electric-shock gun by a National Park Service ranger after allegedly giving a false name and trying to walk away, authorities said Monday.
The park ranger encountered Gary Hesterberg with his two small dogs Sunday afternoon at Rancho Corral de Tierra, which was recently incorporated into the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, said Howard Levitt, a spokesman for the park service.
Hesterberg, who said he didn't have identification with him, allegedly gave the ranger a false name, Levitt said.
The ranger, who wasn't identified, asked Hesterberg to remain at the scene, Levitt said. He tried several times to leave, and finally the ranger "pursued him a little bit and she did deploy her" electric-shock weapon, Levitt said. "That did stop him."
The ranger was trying to educate residents of the rule, Levitt said.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
bump for later
SOP by the Gestapo is to shoot the two little dogs.
Are there any disproportionate/unnecessary force statutes in Kalifornia? This is sickening!
"Am I free to go? Am I under arrest? Am I being illegally detained?"
This is gonna cost somebody, big time.
This guy needs to get a good PI lawyer.
I was going to say that this was a "He said, she said" situation. But the account by the eyewitness is totally credible, and damning to the ranger. She should be investigated and, if this holds up, FIRED.
Note to self: Do not give false information to a federal law enforcement officer and then attempt to walk away when being detained.
He should have turned Obama "occupier' and shIt on the cruiser. He would have been let go.
"...and provided her all his personal information." Did he? Thought he lied to her. I think both parties are wrong here. But ignorance of the law is no excuse. Perhaps a simple sign noting the new leash laws would've been useful. And if the sign was posted, just issue the ticket or warning. Dude, if you are detained, don't try to walk off.
"Dude, if you are detained, dont try to walk off."
No folling. See what happens if you drive away in the middle of a traffic stop...
Duh - "fooling"...
"The ranger was trying to educate residents of the rule"
He should have said he was just occupying the park.
Just a small question: How did she know she got false information ,if he had no ID.
Good thought... not going to happen.
Too bad the eye-witness account doesn't back that up.
One day, one day I believe that this is going to happen to the wrong person at the wrong time and a bunch of people are going to end up dead or badly injured. And you know what? i think that is precisely the reactions that the 'powers-that-be' are hoping for.
And we all know what will happen then. Massive overkill on the story by the MSM and 'new' Even more restrictive laws will be enacted, and so the process to tyranny and slavery will be accomplished.
Example of why we need less government. The man may have been using the trail for years to walk his dogs. As soon as the federal government takes over, they bring more rules, less freedom and he is tased.
No, charged with multiple felonies, tried and imprisoned if found guilty. If the laws that limit The Great Unwashed are to be equally applied to Law Enforcement, we have Kidnapping and Assualt with Intent to cause bodily harm; if the warning of a heart condition is upheld, I see Attempted Murder.
I cannot, under threat of weaponry - detain you for my amusement. I cannot fire a Taser upon you, maliciously, either. This is exactly what she did; so why not make her pay the same price you or I would pay?
Funny thing about doing this - I'm sure that other Law Enforcement Officers would see that they can't be thugs hiding behind a badge - if they decide to engage in thuggry - then they can got to jail like any other thug.
Hell hath no fury like a woman (in a paramilitary uniform) scorned!
And we all know what will happen then. Massive overkill on the story by the MSM and new Even more restrictive laws will be enacted, and so the process to tyranny and slavery will be accomplished.
Your post is very prescient. The govt. wants a violent reaction and then their reaction will be oppressive. Will they enjoy the counter-reaction? I doubt it. That's why their gaming the situation is so frightening. The scripted response from the MSM may not fly as well as either the media or the government had hoped.
She should be investigated and, if this holds up, Tazed, then FIRED.
Sounds like he deserved it... if not for walking the dogs unleashed then certainly for attempting to leave when told to stay put. This guy has (had?) a problem with authority.
How would the eye-witness know if the man had provided false information? Also, the witness doesn't dispute the fact that the man walked away when being told to stay. If a law enforcement officer tells you to wait, you wait.
What if she were loaded into a cannon, then FIRED?!?
The govt. wants a violent reaction and then their reaction will be oppressive. Will they enjoy the counter-reaction? I doubt it. That's why their gaming the situation is so frightening. The scripted response from the MSM may not fly as well as either the media or the government had hoped.
I hope you are right about the counter-reaction.
It's an interesting facet about humans and our behavior. As long as the loss we experience is less than value of what we keep then we will complain bitterly and then go no further, (Usually!). But when we feel that there is nothing left to lose then we will turn and fight until only we or our oppressor is still amongst the living. The question here of course is at what point does fighting back overcome the fear of losing everything?
We get to know the citizen's name but not the bureaucrat's. Typical.
Note addendum: Lick Ranger's boots.
What legitimate cop detains someone for a dog off a leash and then tazes the heart patient?
Owners like that are the worst.
Kinda. Throw out the Taser.
This is getting ridiculous.
"The ranger, who wasn't identified, asked Hesterberg to remain at the scene, Levitt said. He tried several times to leave, and finally the ranger "pursued him a little bit and she did deploy her" electric-shock weapon, Levitt said. "That did stop him."
The ranger was trying to educate residents of the rule, Levitt said."
Education by cattle prod always works for me!!! Comply or fry (or die in some 400+ cases).
So do I, Sparky.
Arrest me, cite me, or let me go.
Sounds like he deserved it... if not for walking the dogs unleashed then certainly for attempting to leave when told to stay put. This guy has (had?) a problem with authority.
Comment on the story from another forum:
"Ironically, I'm pretty sure that in 98% of all tazings, there's a douchebag on the end with the prongs."
Note the locale, San Francisco - home of fruits, nuts, and flakes and "that law doesn't apply to me" Obama supporters.
Well done, Ranger.
Who do you think you are - a free man?
Walking is a privilege. Breathing park air is a privilege.
Being left alone to mind your own business - not allowed.
I just get a little shocked, still, to see a long time Freeper carry water for excessive policing and Police State techniques.
To a point. At some point, it becomes, "Arrest me, cite me, or let me go."
You mean kinda like what was (and is still being) attempted in Fast & Furious?
Excellent point. Some folks wonder why cops pull people over for burned out license plate lights. The answer is, that's how they find wanted criminals. This guy giving the ranger a false name was a big red flag and a loud alarm bell, indicating that further investigation was necessary. She would have been wrong to let him go. Imagine the headlines: "Park ranger failed to identify notorious rapist before he killed Oakland cheerleader."
It sounds like Mr. Hesterberg wasn't the innocent angel he was made out to be:
"The incident occurred around 4:45 p.m. when the man was walking two dogs near the southern edge of McNee Ranch State Park. A ranger working for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area stopped the man for having one of his dogs off-leash, which is restricted in certain areas of the Rancho Corral property.
An escalating argument ensued, according to John Barlett, a nearby resident who was walking in the area. The dog-walker was "defiant," Barlett said, daring the ranger as he began walking away, "Are you going to arrest me?"
That's when the ranger pulled out her Taser, according to Barlett."
Yes, That is one example and a good one. The shooting incident with Congresswoman Giffords is another example.
You might laugh at me but there are times when I think that Ayn Rand was very prophetic in Atlas Shrugs. The goal was to have every man, woman and child in an assigned place with no hope of leaving it. In other words a universal medieval Serfdom for the masses and a very few nobles to enjoy the fruits of their labors.
From the comments after the article:
"The comments here are a very good example of the divide between Americans and Authoritarians. Authoritarians of course believe that citizens should submit to the authority of government where as Americans think it is government that should submit to the authority of We The People. I'm not saying citizens should have the right to run wild as of course we have laws for a reason however an American would recognize that there are two types of laws, ones that protect us and others that enslave us. The litmus test for identifying which category a law falls into is simple. That test is if a victim be identified.
Let's take the law that requires supposed free citizens to give identification when approached by a government representative. When I was a kid we used the scene of a Nazi Gestapo agent approaching a person and asking for papers to scare people into thinking how close we came to living in a world with that type of government abuse. Let's set aside the obvious fact that our Constitution forbids government from infringing on our right to remain silent or our right not to incriminate ourselves and just focus on the fact that there is no victim. Who did this guy hurt? Some people say he could have been a criminal however anyone walking down the street could be a criminal thus is this justification for government agents to tase us at will?
Think about it and also ask yourself if you like the direction our country is heading. Are you willing to give up the Constitutional protections that so many have fought and died for because you're afraid of some perceived terrorist threat? Do you think those who fought and died we afraid when they were being shot at and bombed? Of course they were but they died giving us all the gift of freedom. Don't spit on their effort by condoning such governmental abuse."
She was not a "federal officer" She was a park ranger who found a guy with his two dogs off-leash and made it a major crime. She is an idiot.
If you can't see the overkill because of a leash offense then I can't help you.
Semper Fi,
See my new *tagline* :)
The subect was either under arrest or he was not. If he was under arrest, the officer erred in not telling him so; if he was not under arrest, the officer's "command" was not lawful. She can't have it both ways.

New Report Highlights Innovative Payments for Watershed Services
A new report titled Innovations in Watershed-Based Conservation in the United States: Payments for Watershed Services for Agricultural and Forest Landowners was just released by EcoAgriculture Partners with funding and support from USDA's Office of Environmental Markets (OEM) and the U.S. Endowment for Forestry & Communities. The report surveys payments for watershed services (PWS) schemes to understand their current role in the U.S. and future potential for increasing cost-effective watershed protection on private lands.
Water is crucial for many human needs; yet water resources in the United States face serious threats from increasing pollution and overuse. PWS can address these challenges effectively as a complement to USDA conservation programs and other existing incentives. Read more »

Attorney: 'Barefoot Bandit' resolving old charge
SEATTLE (AP) -- The attorney for "Barefoot Bandit" Colton Harris-Moore says his client will plead guilty to one burglary count stemming from an international crime spree for which Harris-Moore is already serving prison time.
Attorney John Henry Browne says Harris-Moore will make the plea Wednesday.
Harris-Moore was sentenced to seven years in prison as part of a 2011 plea deal with three counties. Among those crimes was first-degree theft for stealing a Cirrus airplane in Skagit County in February 2010 and flying it to Orcas Island in San Juan County. But in February, Skagit County Prosecutor Rich Weyrich, who refused to take part in the three-county deal, charged Harris-Moore with second-degree burglary for breaking into the Anacortes Airport and first-degree theft for taking the plane.
Browne says Harris-Moore will be sentenced to three months time served, and the theft count will be dropped.
