April 8, 2003
As in other jurisdictions across Canada, prenatal testing for HIV infection had been performed inconsistently in Alberta, with the result that children continued to be born to HIV-infected women who had not received prophylactic treatment to prevent vertical transmission. Therefore, on Sept. 1, 1998, Alberta adopted an opt-out strategy for prenatal testing for HIV infection. Under this policy, HIV testing is done routinely for all pregnant women seeking prenatal care unless they specifically choose not to be tested.
In this study, the authors evaluated the effect of mandatory reporting of HIV infection and routine screening for prenatal HIV infection on requests for HIV testing in Alberta. The authors obtained data from the Provincial Laboratory for Public Health on the number of males and females in Alberta who were tested for HIV infection between Jan. 1, 1993, and Dec. 31, 2000. They obtained the number of females screened for HIV infection between Sept. 1, 1998, and Dec. 31, 2000, under the opt-out prenatal HIV screening program from the Canadian Blood Services laboratories, and the number of confirmed positive test results from the Provincial Laboratory for Public Health. The authors calculated average annual percent increases in the number of HIV tests performed before and after mandatory reporting was instituted.
Mandatory reporting of HIV infection remains a controversial issue largely owing to concerns about personal and social problems related to breaches in confidentiality. This study shows a clear trend toward increased HIV testing in Alberta despite the introduction of mandatory reporting of HIV infection to public health authorities. These results are consistent with other studies showing that reporting of HIV infection does not provide a distinct disincentive to testing. The authors also found a dramatic and sustained increase in rates of prenatal HIV testing after the opt-out policy was introduced.
The finding that mandatory reporting of HIV infection has not adversely affected the number of HIV tests done in the province is reassuring. It is unclear, however, whether reporting has had a differential effect by deterring people who may be at higher risk of HIV infection, such as men who have sex with men, injection drug users and recent immigrants to Canada, from undergoing testing and seeking treatment and prevention services. Continued monitoring and evaluation are required to ensure that surveillance policies do not adversely affect HIV testing.

With economic turmoil once again erupting in Europe, debt headaches in the U.S. and consumer confidence falling a worse-than-expected amount on Tuesday, a recent wave of bleak economic news has some fearful of a weakening recovery.
Continue Reading Below
The worrisome reports come on top of much colder-than-usual temperatures in the Northeast and severe snow storms in the Midwest that have been blamed for slow retail sales over the last few months, triggering a recent wave of lowered full-year outlooks.
"The weather hasn't been doing retailers any favors," said Jessica Bornn, senior merchants and luxury specialist for Merchant Forecast. "When coupled with increased payroll taxes, it's a perfect storm."
While sunnier days may be ahead for some industries as the temperature improves, fueling sales of anything from flip flops to grills and pool supplies, there are concerns that underlying economic fundamentals indicate a much bleaker spending environment that could persist for years.
"I think the weather is a mask," said Thomas Blischok, chief retail strategist at Booz, a global consulting firm. "Without question the weather has been problematic across the country but the fact that incomes are not rising, the cloud of economic instability continues to be critical in the eyes of the shopper."
The Confidence Board's U.S. consumer confidence index tumbled to 59.7 in March from the downwardly revised February print of 68, short of economists' estimates of 68.
Russell Price, senior economist at Ameriprise Financial, said the decline is likely a short-lived reflection of concerns about the sequester, which has triggered $85 billion in across-the-board federal spending cuts, as well as the two-percentage-point payroll tax increase that has shaved billions from economic spending.
The slow season has retailers worried, with several including DSW (NYSE:DSW), Children's Place (NYSE:PLCE) and American Eagle (NYSE:AEO), cutting their current-quarter and full-year outlooks in the most recent earnings season, citing anything from softening demand and cooler-than-usual temperatures to economic woes.
Children's Place on Tuesday, for example, blamed "unfavorable weather" and the weak macroeconomic environment on softer consumer spending and projected a first-quarter EPS that at its high point is still 49 cents below Wall Street expectations.
"Retailers are beginning to panic," Bornn said. "They are overloaded with spring inventory that just isn't selling."
It has prompted sharp sales and promotions across the retail sector, from Express (NYSE:EXPR) offering a deal on dresses this past weekend ahead of the often-dressy Easter holiday to Gap's (NYSE:GAP) Banana Republic and Ann Taylor (NYSE:ANN) chopping as much as 40% from total bills.
Department stores like Macy's and J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) are perhaps most sensitive to these late seasonal swings because they tend to get merchandise into stores earlier than niche brands. Penney late last month said it would resume offering promotions this spring after its failed "no sales" promise in 2012 eroded its profit margins.
"The question is how long can they offer store-wide promotions without their margins starting to get hit," Bornn said.
With the spring shopping season quickly meshing with the summer season, retailers with stagnant merchandise and rapidly building inventories are finding themselves in a conundrum. They must decide whether to keep offering promotions, ship clothes to warmer-weather stores, pack them up for use later on clearance, or simply take a loss.
As retailers take it day-by-day with a careful eye on the future, there are two strikingly diverse, yet equally feasible, possible outcomes.
Price said he sees the disappointing decline in consumer confidence as more of a short-term problem that will dissipate as the weather improves. After all, other economic trends that serve as an underlying barometer of the economy, such as durable goods and housing starts, have been improving, offering further encouragement of a rebounding housing market and broader recovery.
"I'm optimistic," he said. "I don't expect we'll get to a robust rate of economic growth anytime soon but fundamentals support the idea that consumers are going to further their spending."
Bornn agrees, noting that there is pent-up demand just waiting to be unleashed.
"This happens every year when you see a slow start to spring," she said. "People are ready to buy spring clothes, but until they believe it's actually begun they just don't."
Blischok isn't buying it, arguing that the mixed economic news is creating even more uncertainty and confusion among consumers and will force retailers to maintain their "deal mania" for quite some time.
"Economic uncertainty is really a harbinger of pause before purchase," he said. "I would expect this deal driven mentality to continue for at least a couple more years."
One potential buoy is if consumers continue to trade-down, meaning they swap potentially more expensive or luxury retailers for off-price stores or brands that better fit into their budget. A teenager, for example, may switch to Aeropostale (NYSE:AEO) from Abercrombie (NYSE:ANF), while a department store shopper may switch to Kohl's (NYSE:KSS) from Macy's (NYSE:M).
That way, at least, they are still shopping, albeit more budget consciously.
"Obviously there will be some slowdown because of the payroll tax but there's always a trade down," Bornn said.

Springsteen On Broadway is the new album of music and stories by Bruce Springsteen, and the soundtrack to the Netflix show of the same name which airs in December 2018. The album is the complete live solo acoustic performance of the show.
Based on his worldwide best-selling autobiography 'Born to Run', Springsteen On Broadway is a unique evening with Bruce, his guitar, a piano, and his very personal stories. In addition, the show features a special appearance by Patti Scialfa.
Bruce Springsteen's historic sold-out series of performances of his one man show began previews on October 3, 2017 and officially opened October 12, 2017. The show was extended three times after its initial eight-week run, and ran on Broadway at The Walter Kerr Theatre through December 15, 2018, bringing the total number of performances to 236.
City Of Broken Dreams brings the global debate about the urban university to bear on the realities of South African rust-belt cities through a detailed case study of the Eastern Cape motor city of East London, a site of significant industrial job losses over the past two decades. The cultural power of the car and its associations with the endless possibilities of modernity lie at the heart of the refusal of many rust-belt motor cities to seek alternative development paths that could move them away from racially inscribed, automotive capitalism and cultures. This is no less true in East London than it is in the motor cities of Flint and Detroit in the US.
Since the end of the Second World War, universities have become increasingly urbanised, resulting in widespread concerns about the autonomy of universities as places of critical thinking and learning. Simultaneously, there is increased debate about the role universities can play in building urban economies, creating jobs and reshaping the politics and identities of cities.
In City Of Broken Dreams, author Leslie Bank embeds the reader's understanding of the university within a history of industrialisation, placing-making and city building.

Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.

RW Johnson's bestselling book How Long Will South Africa Survive? was published at the height of the Zuma presidency. Since then, Cyril Ramaphosa has taken over as president and there have been some attempts to clean up government. But the brief period of 'Ramaphoria' is over and the threat to both the economy and the dream of a non-racial democracy is as real as ever.
As national elections loom, Johnson examines the state of the nation with pinpoint accuracy. On the one hand state-owned institutions are near collapse, municipalities are defunct and civil strife is rampant. On the other, Ramaphosa and his team have come up with a plan to curb corruption and create growth and prosperity.
But will it work?

It's ten years later and you're invited back to the magical Greek island of Kalokairi in an all-new musical sequel based on the songs of ABBA that finds Sophie now pregnant, and like her mother Donna, she'll need to take risks.
The film's original cast returns, with new additions including Lily James as a young Donna, Andy Garcia and Oscar winner Cher.
In spite of Cyril Ramaphosa's "new dawn", there are powerful forces in the ruling party that risk losing everything if corruption and state capture finally do come to an end. At the centre of the old guard's fightback efforts is Ace Magashule, a man viewed by some as South Africa's most dangerous politician.
In this explosive book, investigative journalist Pieter-Louis Myburgh ventures deeper than ever before into Magashule's murky dealings, from his time as a struggle activist in the 1980s to his powerful rule as premier of the Free State province for nearly a decade, and his rise to one of the ANC's most influential positions. Sifting through heaps of records, documents and exclusive source interviews, Myburgh explores Magashule's relationship with the notorious Gupta family and other tender moguls; investigates government projects costing billions that enriched his friends and family but failed the poor; reveals how he was about to be arrested by the Scorpions before their disbandment in the late 2000s; and exposes the methods used to keep him in power in the Free State and to secure him the post of ANC secretary-general.
Most tellingly, Myburgh pieces together a pack of leaked emails and documents to reveal shocking new details on a massive Free State government contract and Magashule's dealings with a businessman who was gunned down in Sandton in 2017. These files seem to lay bare the methods of a man who usually operated without leaving a trace.
Gangster State is an unflinching examination of the ANC's top leadership in the post-Jacob Zuma era, one that should lead readers to a disconcerting conclusion: When it comes to the forces of capture, South Africa is still far from safe.
Five years, eight months, 12 days... and counting. That's how long Debbie Ocean has been devising the biggest heist of her life.
She knows what it's going to take—a team of the best in their field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists and attempt an impossible heist at New York City's annual Met Gala.
"Rebels And Rage is a critically important contribution to public discussion about #FeesMustFall"–Eusebius McKaiser
Adam Habib, the most prominent and outspoken university official through the recent student protests, takes a characteristically frank view of the past three years on South Africa's campuses in this new book. Habib charts the progress of the student protests that erupted on Wits University campus in late 2015 and raged for the better part of three years, drawing on his own intimate involvement and negotiation with the students, and also records university management and government responses to the events. He critically examines the student movement and individual student leaders who emerged under the banners #feesmustfall and #Rhodesmustfall, and debates how to achieve truly progressive social change in South Africa, on our campuses and off.
This book is both an attempt at a historical account and a thoughtful reflection on the issues the protests kicked up, from the perspective not only of a high-ranking member of university management, but also Habib as political scientist with a background as an activist during the struggle against apartheid. Habib moves between reflecting on the events of the last three years on university campuses, and reimagining the future of South African higher education.

But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

Findings and Solutions in the Living Planet Report 2012
From: Richard Matthews, Global Warming is Real, ENN
Published June 18, 2012 08:26 AM
The WWF's Living Planet Report (LPR) is the world's leading science-based analysis on the health of the Earth and the impact of human activity. The ninth biennial publication released in May, reviews the cumulative pressures humans are putting on the planet and the consequent decline in the health of the forests, rivers and oceans. Its key finding is that humanity's demands are exceeding the planet's capacity to sustain us.
The report concludes that biodiversity has declined globally by 28 percent between 1970 and 2008. In the tropics, the situation is more than twice as bad, with a decline of biodiversity of around 60 percent. The loss of biodiversity has many critical impacts including reduced carbon storage capacity, less freshwater and diminished fisheries.
Since 1996, the demand on natural resources has doubled. We currently use the equivalent of 1.5 planets to support human activities and in a business as usual scenario, by 2030, it is estimated that we will need two Earths to support human activity.
Wealthy countries are largely to blame for the state of the planet as they have a footprint which is five times greater than low income countries. Even though richer regions have a much larger environmental impact than low income areas, the poor suffer disproportionately from declining biodiversity.

Campus police account of San Antonio student's death rings false, family says
SAN ANTONIO – The family of a San Antonio university student shot and killed by a campus police officer says the police account is inconsistent with their son's character.
Robert Redus, a 23-year-old student at the University of the Incarnate Word, was shot repeatedly Friday when he charged campus police Cpl. Chris Carter after a traffic stop, Alamo Heights police have said.
But in a statement to the San Antonio Express-News, the Redus family said they do not believe the report.
Redus "has never been an aggressive or confrontational person ... For him to confront a police officer would be completely out of his character," the statement said.
Redus and Carter struggled when Carter tried to handcuff Redus during a traffic stop for speeding and erratic driving, Alamo Heights Police Chief Richard Pruitt said at a news conference Monday. Redus wrestled Carter's baton away and hit him with it before Carter retrieved it and told Redus to stop or he would shoot, Pruitt said.
Redus turned around and charged Carter with an arm raised to strike him, Pruitt said. Carter fired his .40-caliber semi-automatic weapon six times, hitting Redus five times -- in the chest, neck, eye, arm and thigh, Pruitt said.
"The investigating authorities quickly cleaned up the scene and even searched his apartment before we arrived in San Antonio," the family said in the statement. They have not spoken directly with the media.
In the statement, the family also said that Redus, who grew up in the Houston suburb of Baytown, went out with friends on Thursday night to celebrate the end of the semester.
The patrol car's dashcam was not working, Pruitt said. An audio recording of the shooting has not been released.

Yesterday (May 8, 2013), Jodi Arias was found guilty of murdering her boyfriend. Actually, she more than murdered him, she virtually obliterated him. Stabbing him 29 times, shooting him in the face, and slitting his throat almost from ear to ear. She made damned fucking sure he was dead.
That alone should qualify her as a psychopath. However, she's also a pathological liar. She had several versions of her story, finally admitting that she killed him but in, as she termed it, "self defense." She trotted in battered woman syndrome, post traumatic stress disorder, and just about everything but the kitchen sink in an effort to beat the rap.
She may get the death penalty, but should she? The syllable "path" in "psychopath" and "pathological liar" indicates a sickness. She's not a mentally healthy person.
pathology (n.) "science of diseases," 1610s, from French pathologie (16c.), from medical Latin pathologia "study of disease," from Greek pathos "suffering" (source)
As revolting as the murder was, can we separate her guilt from the sickness from which she suffers?
More generally, suppose all crimes could be traced back to some sort of pathology. What would happen to the entire concept of guilt? And suppose that once a pathology was identified, there was a "cure." Could we ethically hold people responsible for their actions before the cure, given their diminished capacity for making proper ethical choices?
Views: 1832
Especially in the penalty phase, her behavior was bizarre. She is a psychopath, I believe, and a pathology is by definition a sickness. She should be put away where she can't ever harm anyone ever again but not executed. I do believe in the death penalty, but not for sick people.
Being mentally sick is no excuse for committing murder.
She knew exactly the crime in her actions and she still went with it the moment she stabbed him. She deserves the death penalty
you must be confused. Justice =/= religious way
Justice is a concept based on rationality and logical reasoning.
Straw man argument
Come back to me when you are not in violation of it and have an actual valid point.
How justice based on rationality and logical reasoning? Could you explain?
First we have to look at the definition of the word "justice"
From Merriam Webster it states that the definition of justice:
a : the maintenance or administration of what is just especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments
a : the quality of being just, impartial, or fair
Justice comes from our moral and ethical guidelines based which are based on the concept of rational and logical thinking perceived by our natural and universal laws without discrimination on the basis on race, gender, natural origin, skin color, age, disability , sexual orientation, religion, etc.
If a proper set rule of a guidelines were followed, then its objective.
Adam where do you draw the line between revenge and justice.
How is being mentally sick not an excuse for murder? Are you saying a mentally sick person could act differently? That they are responsible for how they act?
Let me ask YOU: what would you do to provide some satisfaction to those the murder has injured, by which I mean those who lost a father, husband, child, or friend? How do you distinguish between justice and revenge?

Members of the Newport Beach lifeguarding community will mourn the recent losses of two of their own at memorial services this weekend, a city news release said.
A Saturday morning memorial is scheduled for former Newport Beach Lifeguard Capt. Buddy Belshe, who died at age 78 last month.
On Sunday, a memorial will be held for Newport Beach Lifeguard Brian Gray, who also died last month at age 38 following a fall from his bicycle.
Belshe, a local institution on the sand, served as a lifeguard for about 60 years at Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, San Clemente's Ole Hanson Pool and the Blue Buoy Swim School in Tustin, the release said.
With the first full-time Huntington Beach lifeguard as his father, Belshe took to the water early, competing in a number of swimming competitions over the years. He also helped create the Newport Pier-to-Pier 2-Mile Ocean Swim in 1976.
Belshe worked for the last 19 years of his 47-year Newport career at Big Corona Beach, before retiring in 2010. He reportedly suffered from Alzheimer's and died Dec. 19.
His memorial will be at 10:30 a.m. at Big Corona.
Gray, a Corona del Mar native who served for 21 years as a lifeguard, was well-known in the local surf community. He helped train junior lifeguards, worked as a dispatcher and acted as a "resident expert" on surf forecasting, according to the release.
His memorial will be held at noon on the beach at 17th Street on the Balboa Peninsula. Guests are encouraged to bring a beach chair or blanket to the service.
Send cards or letters to the Newport Beach Ocean Lifeguard Assn., P.O. Box 466, Balboa, CA 92661.

— For labor updates, follow: @daldridgetnt | @AschNBA
11:47 p.m.: At least no one delivered any ultimatums this time.
The labor talks broke after nearly 11 hours tonight and despite chatter earlier about a deal being done, the sides finished the night the same place they finished them last weekend. The players have a proposal to consider and will now take that proposal to their player reps, as early as Monday, per union executive director Billy Hunter.
The proposal is a revised one and not the "reset" proposal that was threatened if the players did not accept last weekend's deal by the end of business Wednesday. Hunter and union president Derek Fisher didn't seem particularly enthused by what they'd heard.
"We have what we characterize a revised proposal from the NBA," Fisher said. "It does not meet us entirely on the system issues … We've decided to take a step back and confer with our player reps."
Both Hunter and Fisher were asked about the disappointing expressions they wore when they faced the media before departing the hotel, but Hunter insisted that it should not be taken as an indicator of anything but the fatigue associated with the process.
"Its been a long haul. We're coming near the end of it," Hunter said. "We're trying to get this thing done."
It has to get done if the players want the current deal on the table, which NBA Commissioner David Stern said will include a 72-game schedule that would start Dec. 15 and would require the start of the playoffs and The Finals back a week to make the calendar work. If the players don't accept the offer, Stern indicated that the league's reset proposal, with the 47 percent of BRI and salary rollbacks, would be the only deal on the table.
Stern also said the time for negotiating is finished.
"There comes a time when you have to be done negotiating, and we are," Stern said."We wait the response from the union. We did our best … We moved as far as we can move. I am optimistic the NBA owners would approve it if the players union approves it."
Stern stopped short of calling it the league's last, best offer. But that's exactly what it is.
"We took pains out of respect to the efforts of everybody, not to characterize it precisely that way," Stern said. "But if this offer is not accepted, then we will revert to our 47 percent. We have made our revised proposal and we're not making another one."
Both Stern and deputy commissioner Adam Silver acknowledged how tough it would be for any union to take the proposal on the table back to their reps, but he also made clear that the players are not the only ones uncomfortable with the details of the proposal.
"We don't expect [the players] to like every aspect of our revised proposal," he said. "Many teams don't like every aspect of our proposal."
But at this stage of the game, some 132 days deep in this lockout, this is where they are. And that means the players hold the fate of this season, the one that could begin as early as Dec. 15 and include just 10 missed games, in their hands.
10:21 p.m.: Finally, we get some news that should wake up the masses, courtesy of Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. Might there be a proposal on the way for the players to consider?
According to Woj's latest tweet there is:
After finishing call with owners' labor relations committee, David Stern will deliver union a revised offer tonight, league sources tell Y!
He then added this for good measure:
Owners revised offer will be working off current negotiations with players — not the threatened 'reset' offer awaiting if talks broke down.
Now this sounds like real progress. And it's some welcome, positive news after the hype and letdown from Checketts-gate earlier.
8:56 p.m.: Turn away from your computer for two minutes and all the positive vibes about a potential deal being on the horizon are replaced with gloom and doom. (Thanks a lot Ken Berger).
Berger, of CBSSSports.com delivered a nasty backhand to the face of basketball lovers everywhere a short while ago when he tweeted that there was modest progress being made on the mid-level and that new "hurdles" had emerged.
Nine hours of negotiations, a day after both sides pulled a 12-hour marathon session, and we get hurdles? Hurdles? In the infamous words of John McEnroe, "You cannot be serious?"
Unfortunately, he was dead serious:
Negotiators for the league and players' association made modest progress on the use of the mid-level exception for luxury tax-paying teams Thursday, but other guidelines governing exceptions and the tax level emerged as a new sticking point, three people briefed on the labor talks told CBSSports.com.
One of the people said league negotiators signaled a willingness to raise the so-called "mini mid-level" to three years starting at $3 million for teams above the luxury-tax level, to be available every other year. The previous offer was a two-year deal starting at $2.5 million, available every other year to tax teams. There was no indication union negotiators were ready to agree to this slight improvement in the owners' proposal, as it would reduce the mid-level exception for tax teams from last year's five-year, $37 million total to three years and $9 million for teams above the tax line.
Also Thursday, a new hurdle emerged in the discussion over when teams would face the new restrictions owners are proposing for teams above the luxury tax threshold. Two of the people briefed on the talks said owners were pushing for teams under the tax at the time of the transaction to be restricted from using the full mid-level — four-year deals starting at $5 million — if the signing put the team over the tax. In that case, the team would be restricted to use of the mini mid-level. Union negotiators want the new restrictions to be based on where a team's payroll sits in relation to the tax prior to the use of the exception — not where it stands afterward.
After a 12-hour session Wednesday produced minimal progress, the two sides pushed past the eight-hour mark Thursday with the threat looming that league negotiators would pull their existing offer off the table and replace it with a worse one. The new offer, originally scheduled to be furnished to the players at 5 p.m. Wednesday but delayed due to the ongoing talks, would feature a 53-47 economic split in favor of the owners and also would include a hard team salary cap and rollbacks of existing contracts. The two sides currently are negotiating off a league proposal that would give the players a 50 percent share of revenue and maintain a soft-cap system — albeit with a vastly more onerous luxury tax system, more restrictions on exceptions, shorter contracts and smaller annual raises.
That's just fantastic.
All that talk of progress and now this.
There have to be evil spirits at work to do this to us after all this time. Whenever things appear to be close to some sort of resolution we go right back to the point where both sides need a break from each other before things go haywire.
7:07 p.m: From Ken Berger's Twitter feed to all of our ears!
"Remember that time, when Dave Checketts said the lockout was over? That was awesome…"
Check the post below for more on the empty claim delivered by Checketts earlier, the one proclaiming the premature end to the lockout, the one that set off alarms all around the Twitterverse.
And nearly two hours later … crickets!
5:21 p.m.: First it was Bill Russell (below).
Now it's another group of former NBA living legends weighing in on all things lockout with the talks reportedly headed into the stretch run, if you believe what former exec Dave Checketts said on a Utah radio station this afternoon (and you need to listen for yourself to see exactly what he said about there being a deal in place).
No offense to Mr. Checketts, who spent almost as much time talking about the lockout as he did Penn State and his Real Salt Lake soccer team, but we'll spend our time listening to our own in-house experts (check the video above and below). And for the record, everyone from DA to the Dalai Lama has refuted the report from Checketts as being not only wildly premature but mostly just false (for now).
The folks at TNT were kind enough to round up the likes of Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller, Steve Kerr, Steve Smith, Chris Webber and the newest member of the family, Shaquille O'Neal, to discuss the lockout's current state of affairs with the venerable Ernie Johnson serving as moderator. It's worth your time:
4:42 p.m.: We know it's not necessarily the chic thing to do in today's NBA, but the players and owners might want to take a minute to listen to the "old heads."
When the great Bill Russell busts the hardliners on both sides for doing major damage to the game, as he did to Ken Berger of CBSSports.com, there might just be something to what he says:
"As a very interested bystander, I just hope they get a deal," Russell told CBSSports.com in a phone interview. "And it will not come from the hard-liners on either side. I think they all know that. I have this theory that hard-liners are like true believers. And true believers think that any compromise is a retreat. And moving forward, that doesn't cut it."
Russell's words carry weight – and not just because he is the most decorated champion in NBA history. The former Celtics' star was among a group of 20 All-Stars who threatened to boycott the 1964 All-Star Game in Boston unless the NBA recognized the newly formed players' union.
"Basically I was one of those guys that helped get the players' association started," Russell said. "And they've done wonderful things. I knew David Stern before he was commissioner, when he was associate attorney for the NBA. And if I remember correctly, he said, 'I do not consider the players' association my adversaries. They're my business partners.'
"That's where, a lot of the things that David has done — and I've known him up close — have been beneficial for both sides," Russell said.
Russell, 77, winner of 11 NBA titles, wanted to speak with CBSSports.com after he learned of union attorney Jeffrey Kessler's comments in which he referred to NBA players being treated like "plantation workers." Kessler, who made the comments to The Washington Post Monday night, apologized to several outlets Wednesday.
"I think that's an invalid accusation," Kessler said. "I think the whole deal is not about black and white. It's about money, OK? I don't see any signs of being greedy. It's a typical negotiation and that's all it is. And there are a couple of reasons it's difficult, because there are hard-liners on both sides.
"But to me, the name-calling or vilifying the other side is a non-issue," Russell said. "All that is is a distraction — a distraction from the task at hand, which is reaching an agreement that neither side will probably be completely happy with. But that's the art of compromise."
3:45 p.m.: The intrepid and incredibly dedicated group of reporters staking out the labor negotiations in Manhattan are doing more than just playing with that solitaire app on their iPads!
They are working while they wait. What they are working on, however, well …
Asch sent this memo from the scene:
NBA labor tote board through 11/9
Courtesy of the accounting firm of Howard & Beck, NYT:— Total NBA labor negotiations meeting time:
22 sessions, 148 hours … since lockout imposed July 1 THRU the 12-hour Wednesday session Nov. 9.
— Since they "got serious" (Sept. 27 THRU Nov. 9):
16 sessions, 118 hours.Today (11/10) is session No. 23 in honor of the great alleged turncoat Michael Jordan.
This is quality accounting work!
3:02 p.m.: All is quiet on the meeting front as things push past the three-hour mark. But progress is being made, according to DA (check the video above). That works for us.
The news cycle of the past few days could use a positive spin. And the end of the lockout would certainly qualify. Just being on the cusp of a deal would go a long way around here.
The tone of things has certainly improved from earlier in the week, when both sides were obviously a bit perturbed with each other. There was the business of that ultimatum the owners issued. And then there was that union/unity press conference Tuesday.
ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard suggested that we almost didn't get to this point (via Twitter):
owners were so upset by Tuesday's player press conference that they nearly refused to meet b4 Wed's deadline. Stern must've calmed them down
Now if they could just get a deal done!
1:51 p.m.: More Twitter fun for us all, courtesy of DA:

As you know, FMCS Director George H. Cohen has been involved in mediating the ongoing NBA and NBA Players Association negotiation.
It has come to our attention that a Twitter user identified as @TheMediatorGC has been impersonating Mr. Cohen, using his photo, and has impersonated him in contacts with various members of the media via Twitter. The impersonator has made false, defaming and inflammatory comments regarding the parties in the negotiation and the Director of the FMCS. Please be aware that this is an impersonation. Director Cohen does not have a Twitter account. Please do not attribute comments or information found on Twitter to Mr. Cohen or to the FMCS without first checking with the FMCS Office of Public Affairs …
1:33 p.m.: One Metta World Peace (the artist formerly known as Ron Artest) is busy on Twitter this afternoon reflecting on all the things he misses during the lockout. You need to see for yourself. A sampling of some of his work:
— I miss the LA times telling me how sucky I am. That's the best. End the lock out. I miss jeff van gundy. The Malcolm x of announcers
— I miss the unhealthy plane food. I miss staples low music in the arena . Lebron misses Cleveland. I miss locking down people.
— I miss zen phil not giving Luke and Adam morrison playing time! I miss the bald headed Espn announcers. I miss the going bald TNT announcers
— I miss the dance teams cheering because they have too not necessarily because they want to. I miss Kobe taking shot after shot. Lmafo
— I miss Philly , Detroit and Boston fans. They craziest fans in the NBA . I be scared man! I miss going to Philly n Kobe buying Philly steaks
— I miss the refs running down the court like they have hot tomales in their pants.. I miss Charles Barkley commentating
— I miss Clyde fraziers lime green pig skin suites with orange slices throughout the linen and pitbull skit chin-klet-tas
— I miss the supersonics
1:15 p.m.: TNT's David Aldridge checked in with some informative information from New York that should help us prepare for today's session:
Assuming no delays in the pre-meeting caucus each sides conducts with itself, the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association should be underway in their pivotal meeting in New York.
Sources have indicated that the sides made progress Wednesday on three of the five significant system issues that separate them. Those are believed to be the escrow account that the league has implemented since 2006 where a portion of player salaries are withheld and placed in escrow in case the players' overall share exceeds their agreed-upon percentage (the league is looking for a 10 percent escrow commitment from players in the next collective bargaining agreement), the league's "repeater tax" proposal that would add additional financial penalties for luxury tax paying teams that do so three or more times in a five-year period, and the so-called "cliff" issue, with the union concerned that teams that are marginally and infrequently tax payers get punished financially under the league's proposals just as badly as teams that are tax paying recidivists.
It is not known how much progress was made on those issues, though a source indicated Thursday morning that the moves were incremental rather than substantial, a view also expressed by the union's executive director, Billy Hunter, in his post-meeting remarks early Thursday.
That would leave mid-level exception use for taxpayers and the ability of tax payers to execute sign-and-trade deals as the two significant issues that still aren't close to being solved.
The NBA wants to limit tax paying teams to a "mini mid-level" exception that would only run two years and start at $2.5 million in the first year. The union has countered with a four-year mid-level starting at $5 million. Both sides have agreed that whatever mid-level is adopted for tax payers, it will only be available to them every other year.
The league argues that teams that go into the tax shouldn't be able to add to their rosters by using the full mid-level, as the Lakers did with Ron Artest in 2009 and the Celtics did with Jermaine O'Neal last season. The idea is both to reduce the payrolls of tax paying teams to bring them closer to those of non-payers, which the league thinks will help competitive balance, and to get more players into the system for non-tax payers. The union believes that such restrictions will chill the market for free agents–in essence, taking the top five or six paying teams out of play–and will also affect players who don't sign with the top teams, because the teams that bid for them will be able to sign them to smaller contracts than they would have to if the bigger payroll teams were able to pursue those players.
The NBA has similar concerns about allowing tax paying teams to execute sign-and-trade deals, where a free agent is allowed to add an additional year to his contract by signing a deal with his old team, which then immediately trades him to another team. Free agents got a seventh year if they re-signed with their old teams under the previous CBA, but only six years if they signed with another team. This was the method used, for example, by LeBron James when he went from Cleveland to Miami last summer–though the Heat was not over the tax threshold when it made the deal.
The union has pointed out that tax payers have only been involved in sign-and-trade deals five times over the past several years, making it an issue hardly likely to impact competitive balance.
1:02 p.m.: Using recent negotiation sessions as a guide, the men (below, pic courtesy of Steve Aschburner) setting up this room for the post-session media briefings probably don't need to rush.
Asch has ordered us not to read anything into their being just one room used for the pressers. Apparently there are certain factors at work within the hotel that prevent the use of more than one room. And by no means are we assuming anything with the union backdrop going up first.
12:24 p.m.: It's time. It's time for the owners and players to go back into that negotiating room in Manhattan and time for them to get back to the business of bringing our beloved game back to the masses.
So what if we've said that before every single meeting throughout this lockout. But that 12-hour session that ended early this morning was hopefully just the appetizer for today's pow-wow, which kicked off minutes ago.
If, as our Steve Aschburner reported, there was only slight progress made on several key issues yesterday, today's session should hopefully give way to much more substantive talks on the core issues dividing the two sides.
ESPN.com's salary cap specialist Larry Coon tossed another interesting twist into the mix with his latest piece, which explains how the value of franchises could rise in concert with the owners' split of revenues:
The league's assertions that they are losing upwards of $300 million per season have been met with skepticism from the players association and fans alike. After being given the opportunity to examine the league's books, the union admitted the league was losing money, but said the losses were closer to $100 million than $300 million.
The union also believes the league has up its sleeve a few extra ways of squeezing out a profit. One of these is an ancillary benefit associated with negotiating a more favorable split of basketball related income (BRI) with the players. Business valuations are tied to revenues and expenses. By negotiating the players down from 57 percent of revenues to 50 percent (and counting), the league is ensuring the teams a decrease in expenses – and therefore an increase in projected profits. This will drive up franchise values.
How much will franchise values increase? It's hard to say. There are a lot of factors that go into determining the value of a business, and a number of ways to do the calculation. A conservative estimate might be a $3 million to $12 million average increase in franchise values for each percentage point in revenues the league wrests from the players. Decreasing the players' split of BRI from 57 percent to 50 percent therefore might be worth $21 million to $84 million per team.
The owners will only see this money when they sell their teams. But when they do sell, none of it is shared with the players.

During lunchtime one day at Ceviche by the Sea, I ordered the classic Peruvian dish known as aji de gallina ($11). This creamy chicken stew, served here over white rice and French fries, is superb.
It's also what you may call a gateway dish for anyone interested in learning about the food of Peru, among the most-intriguing of South American cuisines, a fusion of indigenous, Spanish and Asian fare.
At dinnertime, however, chef Carlos Delgado turns tradition on its head when he does with aji de gallina what only someone of his talent can accomplish. He uses the same aji de gallina to stuff ravioli ($21). Delgado is just 24 years old. Three years ago, he was voted best young chef at the Mistura food festival, a 10-day annual feast held in Lima, which attracts more than half a million people.
Delgado, a Le Cordon Bleu graduate, does the same thing with classic lomo saltado, a kind of Peruvian stir fry with skirt steak, tomatoes and soy sauce. He puts those ingredients in spring-roll wrappers ($11) and serves them as appetizers.
Open since October, the 55-seat restaurant is a big step up from mom-and-pop Peruvian joints. Painted a subtle gray, recessed display niches hold reproductions of Incan artifacts from the Gold Museum of Peru. Wait staff in black pants, white shirts and orange ties give the place a nice, formal feel, although service was uneven between lunch and dinner. One server did a great job of explaining unknown dishes. Another was not quite as adept.
While it's possible to come to Ceviche by the Sea and not eat ceviche, why would you? Delgado buys whole fresh corvina and grouper, which he cleans and fillets himself. The result ranks among the freshest ceviche I've ever tasted. Servings are huge. Classico ($13) is usually made with corvina, along with lime juice, cilantro, red onions, limo pepper, sweet pepper, large-kerneled choclo corn and toasted cancha corn. Ceviche can be ordered mild, medium or hot.
But my favorite appetizer may be pulpo a la parrilla or grilled octopus ($15), which arrives to the table with its own miniature hibachi grill, so you can crisp up your octopus before digging in. That octopus can also be ordered as part of a grilled sampler trio ($19) with Parmesan scallops and skewers of either grilled tuna or grilled beef hearts. We went for tuna.
I'd also recommend shrimp chowder ($9), a slightly creamy mixture of shrimp, potato, corn, poached egg, rice peppers, shrimp stock and tomato. It's a very hearty starter.
Delgado's seafood entrees taste almost magically full flavored. Salmon chorrillana ($21) features grilled salmon with a sauce of onions, chili peppers, garlic, green pepper, tomatoes and spices. Chilean sea bass ($29) is pan-seared and served with a nice mix of vegetables. Traditionalists can order surf and turf ($30): grilled Maine lobster tail and skirt steak with roasted potato and grilled vegetables. It's served with chimichurri and lemon-herb butter.
Along with that inventive aji de gallina ravioli, there's another pasta dish — skirt steak Huancaína — which combines the beef with mushrooms, asparagus, Alfredo sauce and chimichurri made with chilies.
While the puddinglike torta de chocolate ($6) with cream anglaise was a clear favorite among my co-diners, I was intrigued with quinoa creme brulee ($6), which introduces the Peruvian grain to the classic French dessert. Interesting. Dia y noche ($6) is a purple corn pudding with dried fruits, poached pear and a bit of cinnamon. For some reason — maybe the dried fruit — it reminded us of Christmas.
