Brutus Of Wyde Climbing Journal, Memorial Text, and Thanks
Report this Post
Can't Post
On June 28th, 2009, the Family, co-workers, and a few friends of Brutus of Wyde gathered in Marin County to honor his life. A climber gathering is planned in the mountains for later in the Summer. Stay tuned...
I was the minister for the ceremony and a number of people spoke. What I'd like to do here is post a special thanks from Brutus's wife Em (Nurse Rachet), followed by the text for the memorial, and then the final remarkable pages of his climbing journal, concluded about 1993, which foreshadowed his views regarding the event of his passing. We encourage folks to post their long and short Brutus stories here so we can collect his Wylde-Life stories for posterity.
Much Love and Respect for all who read this
Karlee Baba
Message from Em
Namaste and infinite thanks to all of you
who've shared memories & photos online or in person
You've given comfort beyond words.
You've shown Bruce's family & co-workers
the deep richness of experience, beauty &
connection in the climbing community.
namaste beautiful warrior
We gather today to honor and celebrate the spirit of Bruce Bindner aka Brutus of Wyde and to Be there for each other in the task of moving forward without his physical presence. I invite you to be yourself. Trust that its OK to Cry, Laugh or remain silent. Some of us have chosen not to speak at this time but are holding space of the Heart with us here.
Brutus was an extraordinary man with Extraordinary friends and You are among his friends. I honor you as Bruce would have honored you.
Brutus knew me as Karlee or Baba. Im one of his friends from the climbing world. Im deeply honored that Em asked me here for this memorial.
Im going to speak for a few minutes followed by a personal silence where we can hold space for each other and commune with Bruce. Then, we have a video to remember his many faces. A few people have been chosen to speak and then anyone moved to speak may share. Volumes could be written about his exploits, so if time runs short, we can continue regaling each other with Brucisms at the Picnic which follows at Muir Beach after the service. I really encourage people to write down notable tales of Bruce and email them to Em so we can make a collection that will hardly need exaggeration.
Bruce engaged in a lot of pastimes that many of us think of as dangerous Rockclimbing, backcountry skiing, and mountaineering. When his city friends asked about the hazards of his activities, Bruce would usually say the most dangerous thing he did was drive to and from the mountains.
And thats how Bruce left us. He drove off a steep section of road on his way to meet a friend to climb Castle Rock Spire. There were no witnesses and no one else was hurt. Bruce died of a spinal cord injury and thankfully, there is no evidence that he suffered.
I dont want to dwell on the way Brutus died. It cant be reversed or second guessed. How he lived was much more important. Im afraid that many of us feel cheated by losing Bruce. Its easy to feel that its unfair that such a great friend has been taken from us. I believe Brutus would have none of that. He took responsibility for what he did and, with a big heart like the open sky, would not wish anyone to suffer bitterness over his sudden passing. In fact, miraculously, Bruce has left us a guide for his passing, but Im saving that for last.
Brutus was an inspiration to me and I want to be as faithful in honoring him.
Bruce was a unique mix of reverence and irreverence. He could spend a precious day off cleaning up trash in the beautiful mountains he held sacred. Somebody said that he was the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back and then offer you his trousers. That was no exaggeration. Another remarked that we are left with the question What would Brutus do?
And yet, he would not be found observing traditional religious rites nor repeating any dogma. He embodied his ideals rather than preaching them. He was the change that he might have advocated. And he loved a good joke or a bit of wildness. His good humor might embarrass now and then, but was not cruel nor at anyones expense. I performed Brutus and Ems wedding in a alpine mountain meadow. Instead of exchanging rings at his wedding, he and Em exchanged items of climbing gear called Nut tools.
Im afraid I owe him an apology for not pulling off anything irreverent and funny at his memorial. My feeling is that he would have wanted that, but in the end would have cared too much about peoples raw feelings. I thought about showing up in one of those paper birthday hats as if I were confused about the occasion I was invited for, but I just cant bring myself. For those of you who know that irreverent side of Bruce, just imagine that we planted a whoopee cushion under your chair. You just need to understand that Brutus would hope that you to return to laughter as soon as youre ready.
You almost had to underestimate Bruce at first since he was so humble and it was unreasonable to expect anyone to have so many talents.
I would have only been a little surprised if He had started flapping his arms and actually start lifting off the floor, then smile at me and say "what's the matter, never seen anybody fly before? I'm not really very good at it"
He was a bit like the bonsai trees that grace this hall, with a strong and resilient character compressed and distilled in an inimitable form.
I have to think he wouldnt want us squirming in our chairs waiting for any formal rituals and prayers. Lets make a point to remember Bruce in a private moment outside in beauty. Sometime when one of natures special gifts touches our soul. That way our grief may be uplifted with the quality of wonder and love that dispels the darkness, and embraces the glory of life. Brutus was a master of seizing the day.
Bruce was always honoring "the gifts" that the poetry of life serendipitously brings us. Even on my way to this memorial from Yosemite, somebody in the next lane suddenly paid my bridge toll for me. Thats something Brutus would do and I saw it as My gift for the day
Brutus left us many, many gifts and they didnt end when he moved onwards. It turns out over 16 ago Bruce wrote and sketched in a climbing journal. It ends with a beautiful drawing of Castle Rock Spire, which was where he was driving that fateful day. On those very last pages of his journal he transcribed two poems that he certainly meant to be the heart of his memorial. He knew he would leave us someday and left guidance for his passing.
I read them here in the order he wrote them.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
That was by Mary Frye
And this one
Remember, by Christina Georgina Rossetti
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me, when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then, or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
So.. How to be faithful to his Spirit at this memorial? is a question Ive had to ask myself. What would Brutus do? If he were physically present Im sure he would be bending over backwards to make food for the picnic, to help set-up, and to be a friend. He would honor our love and respect for him but not wish us to suffer in grief and pain. Can we wish him well on his new greatest journey of all, honor his incredible example and love, all while missing him? All while confused about why he left our world so soon?
The passing of Bruce Bindner passes the torch to all of us to find pleasure and fulfillment in serving our friends and community while living large and from the heart. The leader of the band has moved on and its our show now. The training wheels have been taken off. I wish Bruce all the wonder that his new journey offers and I wish you all big giant lives, full to the brim with the gifts that life offers.
One of Bruces favorite phrases was Blessed are those who live out their dreams. May it be so.
We have prayer flags to share with you. Tibetans hang them to bring the sacred to their world and let the winds carry their prayers into the heavens.
Lets take a few moments, starting and ending with the bell, to remember Brutus. Feel what it was like to be with him and lets commune with that memory.
Brutus of Wyde was a true inspiration as a climber and as a human. As a tribute to him I suggest we all make a point of figuring out some ingenius way to really stoke someone out, or teach them something cool, and go out and do it. Hike some cold beverages out to the top of El Cap, Fix a great meal for some bros at camp, or clean up a mess that's not yours.
WIth Respect and Love

You would think that Echo Park's Lady of the Lake statue – a 1930s sculpture formally known as Nuestra Reina de Los Angeles – would face in the direction of the lake. Nope. Instead the female figure, with arms raised and palms pointed outward, looks north away from the newly restored lake, leaving her backside and rump (top photo) to face the water.
As part of the nearly completed clean up and renovation of the lake and park, the statue was returned to her original spot at the tip of a peninsula that juts into the northern part of the lake. This where the statue had long stood until sometime in the mid 1980s when the statue, damaged and in need of repair, was put in a storage yard and a cinder block pump house built in the same location. When the statue was finally restored in the late 1990s, the decision was made to install the Lady of Lake in a new location, on the east side of the park, where the figure faced the water. The closure and rebuilding of the lake provided an opportunity to get rid of that pump house and move the Lady of the Lake back its original position and flip it around to face away from the water.
That did not sit right, however, with some residents, who argued that it would make more sense if the Lady of the Lake actually faced the lake. Even residents like Stephen Roullier, who provided a photo that showed the statue in its original spot facing away from the water, could see their point. Roullier, whose home overlooks the lake, told The Eastsider in early 2012:
On one hand, I think that if the statue is going back in its original location, it should face north away from the lake for reasons of historical accuracy and tradition. On the other hand, if there's enough community sentiment for having her face the lake, I don't think I'd be upset. When the statue was in its previous location (by the boathouse) she faced the lake and that made sense to my eyes.
But, on Friday, as city officials gathered near the statue to reveal the date when the park would reopen to the public, the logic of having the Lady of Lake's backside facing the water made more sense. By turning away from Echo Park Lake, the regal statue gazes upon visitors as they they walk down the peninsula to the lake, with the water, fountain and boat house serving as a dramatic back drop and photo op. It's a welcome change of direction for the Lady of the Lake.

About H&P Collection
The Huntley & Palmers Collection is the archive that was formed by the famous Reading biscuit company during its 150 year history. The collection shows the development of the company and the impact it had on Reading and its people.
In 1974 the Huntley & Palmers Collection was deposited with Reading Museum Service and Reading University Library. In 1989 Nabisco Ltd, the then owners of the Huntley & Palmers brand, donated the collection to the Museum and the University.
The Museum material consists of nearly 7,000 items including biscuit tins, photographs, oral histories, films and advertising ephemera dating from 1822 to the 1980s. The University Library holds the documentary materials, mostly business records, relating to all aspects of the firm. Both organisations also hold material from Peek Frean and Jacobs biscuit companies with whom Huntley & Palmers merged to form Associated Biscuits Ltd in 1969.
The Huntley & Palmers Gallery at the Museum of Reading
A unique Huntley & Palmers gallery was created in 2000 when a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund enabled the extensive refurbishment of the Museum of Reading. The gallery tells the story of the great biscuit firm using over 600 objects.
In the gallery you can see a fascinating selection of items featured on this website, including Oscar Wilde's signature in the visitor book and one of Captain Scott's Antarctic biscuits. For biscuit tin enthusiasts nearly 300 tins are on display in the gallery including the first printed biscuit tin from 1868. In addition, rare archive footage provides an insight into the working life of biscuit factory employees during the 1950s.
Visit the Museum of Reading website for opening times and further information:
Sources of Information
The collection was studied in the early 1970s by T.A.B.Corley, Senior Lecturer of Economics at the University of Reading, resulting in the publication of:
'Quaker Enterprise in Biscuits (Huntley & Palmers of Reading 1822-1972)', Hutchinson & Co Ltd (1972)
Corley's book is the authoritative account of the company's history and has been a major source of information during the development of the website.

"Knowledge about the needs of students is greatest closest to the student… School leaders require the ability to make decisions based on their knowledge, expertise and professional discretion."
In a world of principal autonomy and school-based decision making, what is left for the central organization of a modern school district? Where does it fit in, and what role does it have to play?
Here in Nashville, the role of central office is changing dramatically. The top-down management structure is disappearing. In its place is a knowledge and support organization designed to provide central services, study and share innovative practices, develop leaders and keep schools accountable. In fact, this change is already reflected in the district budget and in a pilot program working in 15 schools right now for school-based budgeting.
What is school-based budgeting, and what does that look like?
At these 15 schools, principals have direct control over $6,300 per student (on average), meaning they can spend that money as they see fit. That number is expected to increase over time. The rest of the money goes to central services like transportation, food services, human capital, textbooks, building services and more.
SEE the school's individual budgets.
The idea is to bring powerful decision-making power right into the schools, where the most knowledge about individual students lives. Next year, this program is expected to expand to 50-60 schools and could go district-wide by 2015-16.
During that time the whole concept could go even further, putting 100% of per-pupil funding on school level budgets. That would greatly expand the level of flexibility and discretion given to each principal and ensure funding is distributed equitably based on individual student need. In that scenario, school leaders would "buy" central services from the district, and there would be certain non-negotiable services like the Board of Education.
This is a culture change, moving central office to a system of specialized support for schools and giving more decision-making power to principals.

The L.A. Fitness Expo, to be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center next weekend, is always a good showcase for innovative, far-out and just plain weird new fitness products. Here's a preview of four standouts that tackle full-body and upper-body workouts.
Strapping success
Mass Suit: A full-body stretch-cord resistance suit makes every movement harder and makes you look like a medieval Terminator. It's composed of eight lengths of rubber tubing attached to a chest harness and ankle, knee and elbow straps.
Likes: It works — and it's exhausting. The Mass Suit adds resistance to squats, push-ups, overhead presses, rows, throwing punches and almost anything else you can think of. It turns the common jumping jack into a 10-rep torture test. After you take a couple of minutes to figure out how to put it together, it's easy to take off and on and change the cord positions for different exercises. A carry bag and manual are included.
Dislikes: None, really, except that it does not come with a DVD (although you can get good workout ideas from the website and manual).
Price: $299.95; http://www.MassSuit.com
Upper-body rotator
The Burn Machine Speedbag (SB8): The oddly beautiful 7.6-pound, 15-inch-long chrome hand weight has two rotating handles.
Likes: Surprisingly different and effective. Although the Speedbag and its handful of movement patterns (end-over-end, lateral wrist-rolling and one-hand "gun slinging") seem a bit ridiculous at first glance, it delivers a serious "burn" in your arms and shoulders in as little as 10 seconds. It's hard to do them for more than a couple of minutes. The movements provide a legitimate, though limited, upper-body endurance workout.
Dislikes: Even being creative, you might struggle (as I did) to invent more than a few exercises; boredom might set in quickly.
Price: $129 (4-pound plastic model); $149 (7.6-pound chrome model). (800) 380-6527; http://www.theburnmachine.com
Pull-ups for everybody
LifelineUSA FitAssist: Stretch-cord device that effectively lightens your body weight and helps you do a pull-up.
Likes: It's simple and works great; ideal for newcomers to CrossFit and other high-intensity programs that use a lot of pull-ups. It's easy to set up: Just hang it on a pull-up bar, grab the bar and step into the stirrup to begin your pull-up. A adjustment strap lets you give yourself more or less support.
Dislikes: The cords do not provide uniform assistance through the entire range of the pull-up, as do the hulking pull-up assist machines in the gym. The cord assists you most at the bottom of the movement and very little near the top.
Price: $39.99. http://www.lifelineusa.com
Walking arm pump
Halsa Resistance Poles: Walking poles have a built-in telescoping spring action that provides upper-body resistance when pushed.
Likes: Pushing down on the poles as you walk the streets for fitness is a fun and effective arm pump, to a point. The company claims the pole provides 13 pounds of resistance, which may be satisfying for some new or older exercisers. The poles are length adjustable form 50 to 65 inches.
Dislikes: The Halsas are not nearly as effective as solid poles, which provide a much better upper-body workout during fitness walking because they allow you to propel your entire body. And Halsas do not lighten the load and relieve stress on your legs, as solid poles do.
Price: $129. http://www.halsafit.com

Arnold Assistant Professor of Legal Writing 250 Joralemon Street Brooklyn, NY 11201 (718) 780-7542 | Email Areas of Expertise Legal WritingCivil Litigation Education B.A., M.A., San Francisco State University J.D., American University, Washington College of Law Biography Courses Publications Fundamentals of Law Practice 1: Objective Legal Analysis In the first semester, students learn objective legal analysis as the foundation of the problem-solving and practical skills so important for graduates in today's rapidly changing legal environment. Classes are small, allowing for extensive written feedback and one-on-one conferences with professors. Classes are typically characterized by frequent experiential simulations and robust peer and self-evaluation, with discussions of professionalism and ethics. Students learn the principles of legal reasoning through four writing assignments, each requiring progressively more complicated factual and legal interpretation. Students also learn the most up-to-date, cost-effective legal research tools and strategies. By the end of the semester, students learn how to professionally and effectively present findings, in writing and orally, as they will as real-world lawyers. Grading and Method of Evaluation: Letter grade only. Students graded on written and oral assignments. Fundamentals of Law Practice 2: Advocacy In the spring semester, students learn the art of advocacy. Students build on the skills they learned in the fall semester by researching a complex and emerging area of law, developing and organizing persuasive arguments, and drafting a brief to the court. Continuing a pioneering tradition at Brooklyn Law School, international law topics, as well as topics based on U.S. law, are included in the persuasive writing curriculum. Through this experience, students are exposed to the ethical obligations of an attorney representing a client in a litigation context. In two additional highlights of the semester, students present their oral arguments to a panel of three judges and put their persuasive skills to the test in a negotiation exercise. Grading and Method of Evaluation: Letter grade only. Students are graded on written and oral assignments. Fundamentals of Legal Drafting This course will cover basic principles of drafting that apply to a wide range of documents. The documents include those common to litigation practice, such as complaints and motions, and documents in the practice of preventive law, such as contracts, wills, private legislation (by-laws, covenants), and public legislation. Students will develop skills in analyzing documents critically; in conceptualization (analyzing facts, identifying major issues, classifying provisions, creating sections, defining terms); in logical and systematic arrangement of material (using a topical focus, using appropriate headings and sub-headings, placing material in the appropriate order, using tabulation); and in choosing language which is flexible, yet unambiguous. Grading and Method of Evaluation: Letter grade only. Students are graded on a series of assignments. Satisfies the Upperclass Writing Requirement. Related Links: Faculty News Curriculum

Trimble County jumped out to a quick lead in their home contest with Walton-Verona on Dec. 20 and never looked back. Although the game was extremely physical the Lady Raiders kept their poise and broke the game wide open in the second half, powering to a 58-30 win.
Trimble senior Shelbe Black led all scorers with 21 points in the game and grabbed eight rebounds. Classmate Kaylee Clifford scored a double-double, scoring 16 points and hauling in 12 rebounds.

Trimble County's Raiders scored the first seven points of the game and Carroll County's Panthers scored the final six in last week's border rival clash at Bedford. The story that unfolded between the two scoring barrages was written in typical dramatic rivalry fashion by two young and desperate teams that culminated in a 64-57 Carroll win.

A balanced offensive effort and a lesson in patience resulted in a successful outcome for the Trimble County Lady Raiders Friday in their annual border rivalry tussle with Carroll County. While the Lady Panthers made a close contest of it for three quarters, it was Trimble taking the eventual win by a 53-35 score.

The complex evolutionary relationships between birds and dinosaurs has only really started to become clear in the last 15 years. But one brave thinker in 1897 knew the real truth: it was all down to birds and reptiles doing it.
Dinosaur Tracking has the story of W.T. Freeman, a 19th century naturalist who believed in a particular form of creationism. This model of the world completely rejected evolution in favor of a theory of multiple creations, in which all the world's organisms were in one fell swoop removed and replaced with their successors, who looked rather different. This, he felt, accounted for the evidence of transitional fossils and the fact that Earth would once have been most inhospitable to life as we now know it.
A big problem for his idea was the archaeopteryx, an early bird with clear reptilian features in its teeth and long, bony tail. A species that existed in such clear transition between birds and reptiles seemed to be very strong evidence of evolution and an apparent rejection of the idea of separate creations. Freeman himself acknowledged much in a gloriously passive-agressive way:
"It is a very pretty tale - that of the descent of birds through reptiles. I suppose one of the strongest proofs of this tale is the line of succession in the strata, and the bird-reptile fossil [archaeopteryx] is simply the most entrancing, and the most happily contrived creature. Everything has, or has had, a definite purpose in life, and the archaeopteryx lived its life in order to bring bliss to the soul of the evolutionist."
But Freeman had a most creative way out of his problem. The archaeopteryx was not proof of evolution between birds and reptiles, but instead some terrifically freaky sex between birds and reptiles: "I suggest that in the earlier days there were ill-developed, low-typed, wallowing birds, also some highly developed reptiles. Perverted sexual instinct exists now, why not then, and as a result of this, why has not the archaeopteryx been an anomalous false hybrid that has been incapable, like other mongrels, of reproducing its kind?"
Obviously, Freeman's notions did not enter the scientific mainstream, and archaeopteryx is now recognized as the first feathered dinosaur ever found. But his off-kilter ideas, as presented by Dinosaur Tracking, offer an amusing and awesome look back at a time when the idea of perverted birds and reptiles creating all the missing links was almost as scientifically viable as the theory evolution.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I'm new to this so hope this is the right place to put this. I wanted to share my recent experience as I have seen nothing about it on the internet and don't want others to go through the same situation.
I have had a red claw crab in my tank for about a year, he is now about 5/6cm from tip to tip of his legs. I have recently decided to add some turtles to my tank. Unfortunetly the Musk turtles I got are only about 3cm tip to tail and this has lead to some interesting encounters with the crab. My turtles have decided to pick on the crab and seem to try to fight/want to eat it. As my crab is so big he can grab them with his claws and just holds them. He hasn't appeared to try and eat them but he won't let them go until we move him. I had hoped that the turtles would learn but they don't and so I have had to remove my crab and he has gone back to the pet shop.
I hope this post helps others who are thinking of having both in the same tank.
Happy fishing!

Florida Pastor Who Promoted Riot-Sparking Anti-Islam Film Unrepentant
Terry Jones, the inflammatory Florida-based pastor who brought to light the low-rent anti-Islam movie that sparked deadly riots in Egypt and Libya, says he intends to keep promoting the film despite requests from top US officials that he cease.
Jones, who heads the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, told NBC's affiliate in Orlando that he plans to bring Sam Bacile's Innocence of Muslims to an even wider audience.
"When we do our activities, when we raise our awareness of the radical element of Islam, we are posing those people absolutely no danger," Jones told the station. "We are, perhaps, insulting some people, but just because you are insulted, it gives you no right to break into someone's house, go into his yard, kill him and destroy his property. So we should by no means excuse their activities."
In a statement released yesterday prior to the attack in Benghazi that claimed the life of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other consulate staffers, Jones said he saw in the Cairo protest proof that Islam has no respect "for any other religion, any other flag, any freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of religion."
Innocence of Muslims, which depicts the Prophet Muhammad as a womanizing homosexual child molester, was promoted by Jones as part of "International Judge Muhammad Day," which he marks annually on September 11th.
Following the incident in Libya, an unnamed "top U.S. military officer" reportedly phoned Jones to ask that he withdraw his support for the film.
This isn't Jones first brush with provoking deadly riots.
A Qur'an burning stunt orchestrated last year by Jones resulted in protests across Afghanistan and elsewhere that led to the deaths of dozens, including several U.N. officials. Afghanistan has moved to block YouTube in order to prevent the spread of the video and a repeat of last year's chaos.
Meanwhile, protesters in Tunisia attempted to break into the US embassy compound in Tunis, but were rebuffed by police officers armed with tear gas. Embassies across the region were put on high alert following the events in Egypt and Libya.

[T]he Supreme Court's unanimous opinion held that property owners and other regulated parties may challenge administrative compliance orders issued by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Water Act. This is a small, yet significant, victory guaranteeing a modicum of procedural protection for those subject to regulation under the CWA.

O How we need this!
The EPA, thinking it has the unlimited power that Obama now wants Congress to have, has proven the old adage, "power corrupts".
If you are reading this and don't know what EPA and other Federal Agencies run amuck with way too much unconstitutional power to control the lives of Americans - any American, and yes, that includes you and your children - start here
- edutcher said...
After Kelo, Lawrence, and a lot of other decisions that add up to lousy law, the Supremes finally get one right.
About damned time.
But will anyone at the EPA get fined, fired, or jailed?
Until these over reaching bureaucrats are held personally responsible for abuses, nothing will change.
- EDH said...
Volokh had a nice quote from Alito that summed up the case.
The reach of the Clean Water Act is notoriously unclear. Any piece of land that is wet at least part of the year is in danger of being classified by EPA employees as wetlands covered by the Act, and according to the Federal Government, if property owners begin to construct a home on a lot that the agency thinks possesses the requisite wetness, the property owners are at the agency's mercy...
"The Edge of Wetness"
The EPA may issue a compliance order demanding that the owners cease construction, engage in expensive remedial measures, and abandon any use of the property. If the owners do not do the EPA's bidding, they may be fined up to $75,000 per day ($37,500 for violating the Act and another $37,500 for violating the compliance order). And if the owners want their day in court to show that their lot does not include covered wetlands, well, as a practical matter, that is just too bad. Until the EPA sues them, they are blocked from access to the courts, and the EPA may wait as long as it wants before deciding to sue. By that time, the potential fines may easily have reached the millions. In a nation that values due process, not to mention private property, such treatment is unthinkable.

Everyone jumps to the 5th Amendment question and thinks that Kelo has been undone. This is a very narrow APA case that never once touched on Constitutional grounds.
- Insufficiently Sensitive said...
It's time the Pacific Legal Foundation got some credit for taking the case, representing Sacketts, and convincing SCOTUS.
Now hoping that they'll get a chance to confront the CWA's lack of definition of 'wetland', so that property owners won't lie awake worrying that the wet rug in the back yard will cost them any future beneficial use of their property.
EPA and the Corps of Engineers have maneuvered that lack of definition of a wetland boundary into an immense power grab for themselves, and an immense injustice to property owners far from the 'navigable waters' that the CWA was meant to protect.
- traditionalguy said...
The Constitution is a written covenant that recognizes un-alienable rights of individuals exist over their property.
To assure us we have private property we have written down laws used by lawyers and enforced by the courts of judges.
That the king owns it all and deigns to issue permits to his friends to use various parcels for various times is the other concept upon which Empires were built until circa 1400 when property ownership became freed from restraints of the kings. That older concept was called eminent domain or feudalism.
The Kelo case affirmed that older concept under Eminent Domain of the King laws, but changed it removong the public purpose boundary we had erected to protect us from its abuse.
But Kelo left in place the right of an owner to be paid the fair market value of the property taken from him.
The EPA is using the Clean Water Act as the the point of the spear for a restated old " King owns it all all of the time"doctrine.
The "CO2 is pollution hoax" is the other attempt to re-instate feudalism over the American Constitution's views of people's rights to own property.
In both attempts the payment of the FMV of the taking is also being revoked.
If air and water are not owned by the property owner, then what tyranny does own the earth?
That tyranny IS the Obama/Ayers disguised socialism in its bloody tooth and fang.
The use of a religious concept of "unclean air and unclean water as peoples sins against a nature god's purity" has paralyzed an otherwise smart people into bowing down before this socialist empire creation by the end run around the Constitutional covenant rights of people.
The SCOTUS is our last bastion. With the exception of the Tea Party revolt, Congress only wants a share of the blood money for selling us out.
- Scott M said...
If air and water are not owned by the property owner, then what tyranny does own the earth?
The children. We've got to protect the air and the water for the CHILDREN. Hillary said so.
- Carnifex said...
As much as I dislike Zero, even I can't blame him for that Kelo abortion. That one is fully on the SCOTUS, and to prove the power of their convictions, every Justice that agreed with that decision should have to give up their home to whomever wanted it. But tthey won't.
A far as this decision, It merely says the EPA must have some sort of an appeal process for its draconian decisions. It will play out something like this...
Hello Citizen. We at the EPA have noticed that you are trying to develop the lot located off the SW drainage ditch for Mudd Flatt. Since this is a "drainage" ditch, it is conceivable that water may, but in fact may not, occur in this so called ditch. It is also conceivable that a mother duck with her family of ducklings, all with broken wings, may, but in fact may not, be flying over head, and need to settle to rest their weary pinions. Since your development may, but fact may not, because ducks and geese inhabit any piece of ground they deem theirs as proven on the nightly news, and my frequent golf outings with Pres. Obama, we declare that you cease all development, restore the land to its original shape, and are to be fined 1 child for every day that you do not comply with our totally arbitrary ruling.
We at the EPA recognize that you might wish to appeal this totally arbitrary ruling we have included this helpful form for this process.
Helpful Form No. 8565153-BS1
I would like to appeal your ruling.
Mark y/n. Y__ N__
Your appeal is rejected.
Thank you for your time, and remember, we at the EPA are here to serve you, and the futures you's that may, but in fact may not, ever exist.
End Helpful Form No. 8565153-BS1
Ps. Would you like to donate some of your ill gotten lucre to re-elect Pres., and Dear Leader, Obama the 1st.
Please Mark y/y.

This is a very narrow APA case that never once touched on Constitutional grounds.
How is the EPA constitutional?
- Jim said...
A plain statement of the case, for the confused:
On the merits, the substantive question, the Sacketts owned a plot uphill from a pond or river and were building a house. EPA field agents declared their land a wetland (a declaration the Sacketts contest), and directed that they un-dig the foundation hole and do some other stuff or face fines of up to several tens of thousands per day. When they attempted to appeal administratively to the agency, the EPA declined to hear an appeal, stating the decision was final and no agency appeal or court appeal were allowed.
Got that? EPA asserted that they can direct you to do various things with your own land and fine you crushing amounts for non-compliance (generally a correct proposition under the Clean Water Act Section 404), and furthermore they assert you cannot legally contest their orders or their fines.
The Supreme Court didn't touch on the longstanding and controversial merits question ("what is a wetland under Section 404 anyhow, and is the Sackett's land a wetland?") but did hold that the homeowners have a right to go to court to contest the initial EPA's actions.
The ruling was 9-0 as to whether they had a right to a day in court to contest the agency's adverse actions.

Jim, onec amplification.
The lot was in a sub-division, zoned by the county as residential, with roads and sewers brought in by the developers. The Sackets had every expectation (provided by the county and the developer) that their land was NOT a wetland.
PS: Apparently the EPA had no issue with the houses built on the actual wetland (e.g. lakefront houses were there), but got a gnat up their ass for an inland lot.
- TosaGuy said...
You're welcome.
- damikesc said...
The Courts need to stop tossing out a lot of laws due to being needlessly vague. I never understood how laws that had penalties for undefined reasons could possibly pass muster in a legal challenge.
If you don't define, SPECIFICALLY, what a "wetland" is initially --- how can it be legal? Just allow some random putz in an agency with absolutely no accountability at all to just decide "Well, I think if it has moisture at all, it's a wetland"?
Heck, what would stop them from using the existence of dew to label ANY property in the country a wetland?
If I was President, I'd have them generate some way of listing the office of a major environmental group as a wetland.
- damikesc said...
Courts need to start, not stop. Sheesh
- The Drill SGT said...

Scalia covered part of the history, about how navigatable rivers became marshes, became damp spots in the forest.
The particulars of this case flow from a dispute aboutthe scope of "the navigable waters" subject to this enforcement regime. Today we consider only whether the dispute may be brought to court by challenging the compliance order—we do not resolve the dispute on the merits. The reader will be curious, however, to know what all the fuss is about. In United States v. Riverside Bayview Homes, Inc., 474 U. S. 121 (1985), we upheld a regulation that construed "the navigable waters" to include "freshwater wetlands," id., at 124, themselves not actually navigable, that were adjacent to navigable-in-fact waters

"Revenge or forgiveness. Remembrance or oblivion. These postwar challenges are never carried out according to heavenly justice: there will be more unjust vengeance and undeserved forgiveness. Already the policies of remembrance and oblivion are not pursued in a way that will serve peace and stability. The Serbs would like to forget exactly those things that the Croats or Bosniaks would like to remember, and vice versa. If by chance any of the sides remember the same event, it is a crime for one and a heroic deed for the other" — (Column in the Serbian newspaper Vreme, quoted in Savage Continent, P. 373)
This is a really good book, and it is just awful to read.
Keith Lowe takes on an heroic task: to cut through all of the self-serving exaggeration of every party to World War II (including the innocent victims) in order to reveal just what all these humans were really doing to each other in the months that followed the end of the war in Europe.
It turns out that many parts of that war didn't really end when we think they did. There is, of course, the familiar story of Communist Russia's clamping down on the nations of Eastern Europe. But lesser known are the political purges and ethnic cleansing of places like Poland, Greece and Italy. Basically, any place where large concentrations of Allied troops were not present, a terrible chaos reigned.
But even in the zones of, say, U.S. protection, there was a sort of short-term liberty for reprisals against Nazis, Fascists and even civilians. Such "revenge" is a major theme of this fine book, and it is explored with a clear-eyed understanding that manages to walk a fine line between justification and denial. But denial is also a theme of this tale, as nation after nation faced the post-war reality of rebuilding their compromised identities in a new world. And to this end, the myth-making and exaggeration (or denial) of wartime atrocities became a sort of national industry. To the end that in many countries today the truth remains nearly impossible to find.
I respect this book for its bravery and commitment to evidence, but also for its humanity, even as it reveals to us the horrors we humans are able to inflict upon each other, be it foreigner or next-door neighbor. Well written, this book is both easy, and difficult, to read.
I highly recommend it.

Actress Linda Cardellini feels "lucky to be alive" after she nearly died in childbirth last year.
The former "ER" star was hospitalized with pneumonia and began suffering severe complications when she hit the nine-month mark while pregnant with daughter Lilah-Rose, her first child with partner Steven Rodriguez.
Cardellini then had to undergo an emergency Caesarean section in February 2012 when the time came for her delivery.
She tells People.com, "It was a very traumatic period. I had a really scary pregnancy and a very difficult delivery. My daughter and I are lucky to be alive. … (The baby's) heart rate dropped and she had the umbilical cord around her neck. We had to do an emergency C-section. It was very intense and scary."
After Lilah-Rose was born, Cardellini then struggled with a thyroid issue: "I had to go on medication and because of that my weight fluctuated up and down in a really erratic way. It was hard to get a handle on it."
The star has returned to the spotlight with a new role in "Mad Men," and feels fortunate to have bounced back from her health scare.
She says, "I'm so grateful that my daughter is alive and so thankful that we've all come out of it. We often forget how dangerous childbirth is. … I never realized what an enormous amount of love I could feel for someone. Suddenly now that I have this beautiful, innocent creature to protect, I've become more aggressive and become much more of a mama bear."

First Manned Dive to the Titanic in 14 Years
A groundbreaking expedition in early August led a team of experts and scientists 3,810 meters below the ocean's surface to the Titanic's final resting place at the murky depths of the North Atlantic Ocean.The series of five dives over eight days aboard a high-tech Triton 36,000/2 manned submersible Limiting Factor were the first to carry humans to the historic wreck site in 14 years.Patrick Lahey, Triton Submarines president and Co-Founder, and pilot for three of the five dives, said, "The most fascinating aspect was seeing how the Titanic is being consumed by the ocean and returning to its elemental form while providing refuge for a remarkably diverse number of animals.
Expedition Cruise Market Powers Ahead
While nothing lasts forever, the cruise industry – and particularly the 'expedition' cruise sector – remain on a historic run with no indication of a near-term slowdown.The leisure travel sector, of which expedition cruising is a part, offers numerous possibilities for delivering new "experiences" unlike industrial shipping businesses (or even conventional ferry and passenger transport), which can only grow as fast as the demand in a particular sector.Though there is no precise definition of "expedition", the ships are smaller than mainstream cruise ships, usually carrying less than 300 passengers, and the destinations are well off the beaten path

Screenings (also called screening tests) are medical tests that doctors use to check for diseases and health conditions before there are any signs or symptoms. Screenings help find problems early on, when they may be easier to treat.
Getting recommended screening tests is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Depending on your age, sex, and medical history, you may need to be screened for things like:
Talk with your doctor or nurse about which screening tests are right for you.
Use the myhealthfinder tool to get personalized preventive services recommendations. Print out the list and take it with you to your next doctor's appointment.
Talk to your relatives to find out which diseases run in your family. Use this family health history tool to keep track of what you learn. Share this information with your doctor.
Going to the doctor can be stressful. It can help to write down your questions ahead of time.
Check out these questions for the doctor about screenings for:
You can also use this tool to build your own list of questions for the doctor.
Having a conversation with your doctor or nurse can help you understand which screenings you need – and how often to get them. You may need to get certain tests once a year. You may need other tests more or less often.
Tell your doctor or nurse about diseases that run in your family, and share any concerns you have about your health. This will help you decide together which screening tests are right for you.
If you don't have a doctor or nurse, check out these tips on choosing a doctor you can trust.
When your doctor recommends a screening, ask questions about the risks and benefits. All screening tests have potential risks. For example, some tests can cause problems like bleeding or infection.
Sometimes, tests can give the wrong result. You could be told you have a disease when you don't (false positive). This could lead to more tests that also have risks.
Your doctor can help you decide if the benefits outweigh the risks for you.
If the doctor doesn't call you after your test, don't worry. You may need to call the doctor's office to get your test results. And if you don't understand what the results mean, ask the doctor or nurse to explain them to you.
The Affordable Care Act requires most insurance plans to cover many screening tests. This means you may be able to get screening tests at no cost to you. Check with your insurance provider to find out what's included in your plan.
Even if you don't have insurance, you can still get important screening tests. Find a health center near you to learn more.
