Kelly Clarkson defends P!nk after angry letter to fans
Listen to Kelly Clarkson on iHeartRadio | Listen to P!nk on iHeartRadio
Kelly Clarkson is defending fellow pop singer P!nk, who is catching heat for the open letter she posted earlier this week in response to some angry fans. Pink was forced to cancel a show in England last month due to illness, and when some ticket buyers didn't react well, she posted a message on Facebook blasting the small minority of haters.
In it, she said she shouldn't have to worry about fans who turn on her "like rabid dogs" and question the "moral fabric" of her character. Kelly agrees.
She posted a message on her "WhoSay" page, saying she was tired of seeing the public criticize P!nk for speaking out. She wrote sarcastically to Pink, "how dare you only work 364 days this year. I can't believe you got sick. That never happens to anyone."
Kelly urged people to "relax" about Pink's letter, reminding them that "we're all human."

Texas Student's Last Words: 'Oh, You're Gonna Shoot Me?'
(NEWSER) – A student at a Christian university was shot dead on Friday for allegedly resisting arrest, but fellow students are struggling to believe the official story, CNNreports. It goes like this: Robert Redus, a student at the University of the Incarnate Word in Alamo Heights, was "driving erratically at a high rate of speed" near campus. When police officer Christopher Carter confronted him in an apartment complex, the student resisted arrest, grabbed his baton, and "used it to hit the officer," according to the university. Carter pulled his gun and knocked the baton away, but when Redus kept resisting arrest, "shots were fired."

Sausalito Library Speaker Series
Monday, November 18 @ 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers
A Novel Approach to Revenge by Sausalito's "Dr. Scapegoat"
Psychiatrist and author Dr. Arthur Colman will discuss his forty years in Sausalito as a writer, therapist and expert on scapegoating and the motivations behind revenge. Author of Up from Scapegoating: Awakening Consciousness in Groups, Dr. Colman has also written several fiction titles set in Sausalito. You can read more about his work on DrScapegoat.com, a blog dedicated to explaining and exploring the role that scapegoating plays in a long list of social evils, from the Holocaust and ethnic cleansing to mass murders, sexism, racism, bullying and hazing.
Game Night at the Library
Every Wednesday night except holidays – 6:00-8:45 pm in the Library Reading Room
Classic Board Games for Adults
Bring a friend or two and check out one of our classic board games to play inside the library. We have several to choose from: Monopoly, Chess, Checkers, Apples to Apples, Balderdash, Doink It Darts, Jenga, Backgammon, Scrabble and more!
Sausalito Marin City Sanitary District is completing the second part of a multi-year study to review how it allocates charges among its customers. This second phase is just kicking off, and we are seeking input from customers because a change in the rate structure would lead to some customers having lower charges and others higher charges.
Please Attend a Meeting Where You Can Learn More, Ask Questions and Provide Input
Consider attending one of two identical meetings about the rate structure study. The meetings will begin with a presentation on the study goals and objectives. There will be ample time for questions, discussion, and input from attendees. The meetings will be held on November 21, 2013 at 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the City Hall. There will be signs posted for the meeting location.
More About the First Phase of the Study
Prior to the study, all residential customers—single family homes, multi-unit residences and floating homes—paid the same fixed charge for sewer service. In response to requests from customers, the District embarked on a study to consider a change in the way these different classes of customers are charged. Following the study and a public participation process carried out in 2012 and early 2013, the District recognized differences in wastewater flow between these three residential customer classes. As a result, the District decreased its annual charges for multi-unit residential customers by 3% per year and for floating homes by 6% per year. These reductions will eventually require increases to charges for other customers. Additional work is getting underway to complete the study in the coming year.
We urge you to consider attending a meeting about this important community issue. If you have questions or to confirm your attendance, please call Rebecca Vaughn, District Secretary, at (415) 332-5815 or email her at: firstname.lastname@example.com . Your questions, comments and ideas are important to us and we hope to have the opportunity to hear them.
Friends of Dunphy Park Invites Input on Dunphy Park Plan
The Sausalito community is invited to provide ideas and priorities for an upgrade to the City's Dunphy Park on Bridgeway. The Friends of Dunphy Park, a volunteer group, will host a Public Forum on Saturday, November 16 from 10 a.m. to noon. The meeting will be held at the Bay Model Auditorium, 2100 Bridgeway in Sausalito.
The park currently provides limited seating, a lawn area, a gazebo, a sand volleyball court, two bocce ball courts and a small beach area. With input from the public on what functions and features the park should provide, the Friends will develop an initial guideline for future development of the park. This Schematic Master Plan will be reviewed by City committees in public meetings and will be considered by the City Council in 2014.
Topics for discussion at the Public Forum include such features as entryways and general pedestrian circulation, bicycle paths, restrooms, landscaping, parking, as well as active and passive use areas such as a bocce ball court and seating. The plan will also consider the design and use of the beach area along with shoreline and marine habitat restoration and maintenance. It will also consider what types of events should be accommodated in the park and with what frequency.
The Friends of Dunphy Park is collaborating with the City, Galilee Marina, Cass Marina, adjacent property owners and the public to develop the Schematic Master Plan to reflect the preferences of the local community. The park must also comply with land use and shoreline development laws and purchase agreements.
For more information, visit www.dunphypark.org. . The City has also set up an Open City Hall forum with more information and survey questions-- visit: http://www.peakdemocracy.com/portals/136/Forum_405/Issue_1578
We'd appreciate your participation--either in person at the Forum, online or both!
Public comment will be taken at the Public Forum and in writing until November 30, 2013 via the website or to firstname.lastname@example.com .
Live Well. Age Well. - Age-Friendly Sausalito Questionnaire released
Are you age 55 or older? Do you reside in Sausalito or on a boat or floating home near Sausalito?
The Age-Friendly Sausalito Task Force has spent the last several months creating a set of questions that will help assess the City's current 'age-friendliness' - how accessible and inclusive is Sausalito for its older residents? Your input is crucial in providing information and insight that will help to shape a strategic plan for Sausalito's aging community. Please take 10 minutes and complete the questionnaire when you receive it. Copies of the questionnaire will also be available at the Sausalito Library, Police Station and Bridgeway Gym (along with a drop off box) starting November 6th. You can also complete the questionnaire online through the website: www.agefriendlysausalito.com. If you have any questions, please contact Tricia at email@example.com.
Portugal – a Culinary Journey
The Sausalito Portuguese Hall is proud to announce the first of a series of events featuring the cuisine of Portugal and the Portuguese-speaking world. These events are designed as an introduction to that underappreciated cuisine and, in addition to providing an excellent culinary experience, will place the evening's dishes in both a historic and regional context.

Proof of Life: America's last POW
A new chapter in the disturbing saga of America's last and only prisoner of war in Afghanistan began Wednesday when CNN reported that the U.S. military now has a recent video of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
Allies of the Taliban captured the idealistic young soldier from Idaho on June 30, 2009, near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, and since then his story of confused motives, failed hopes and unbearable horror has become a kind of metaphor for all that's gone wrong in America's longest war.
Whether Bergdahl, 27, just walked away from his base or was lagging behind on a patrol at the time of his capture remains an open and fiercely debated question. A few weeks after he went missing, after the Taliban released the first of severalvideos of their prisoner, a retired lieutenant colonel punditing on Fox News called Bergdahl a liar and suggested he'd abandoned his buddies in wartime. "I don't care how hard it sounds," said Ralph Peters, author of several macho thrillers, "the Taliban could save us a lot of legal hassles and legal bills," presumably by killing him.
But despite the ferocious criticism from some Congressional Republicans—and some ambivalence in its own ranks—the Obama administration has worked hard to try to track Bergdahl's captors and to negotiate his release. Those holding him are part of the Haqqani Network, which has very longstanding ties to the Pakistani military intelligence service. In 2012, the Americans came close to winning Bergdahl's release in exchange for five prisoners at Guantanamo, but his captors backed out of the deal.
In 2011, The Daily Beast reported that Bergdahl had escaped briefly from the men holding him after he lulled them into thinking he would cooperate and, perhaps, that he sympathized with their cause.
Sources among the Afghan militants told Beast reporter Sami Yousafzai that Bergdahl had learned to speak some Pashto, the language of the men holding him. He dressed as they did, not least because they were afraid the ever-present American drones circling over the region might spot him. Then one night Bergdahl crawled out the window of the mud-brick house where he was imprisoned and headed into the rugged countryside. He found no refuge, and two gunmen discovered him hiding in a trench he'd tried to dig with his bare hands. "He fought like a boxer," one Taliban source told Yousafzai, and it took several militants to restrain him.
Since then, there has been virtually no public proof that Bergdahl remained alive.
But the new video reportedly in the hands of the military appears to have been recorded in December. It has not been released, and reporters have not seen it, but sources tell CNN it shows a man who looks like his physical and mental condition have been deteriorating.
The late Michael Hastings, a passionate reporter about the Iraq and Afghan wars, wrote a long profile of Bergdahl for Rolling Stone in 2012 that stands as the most detailed and convincing portrait of the soldier, his personality, his emotions, and his attitudes toward the battlefield where he served.
Bergdahl was raised in rural Idaho and diligently home-schooled by parents who lived, if not off the grid, right on the edge of it. As a teenager he developed a passion for soldiering, or, rather, the idea of it. He'd learned to shoot when he was a little boy; then he learned to fence and the not-unrelated skill of ballet. (For a time he moved in with the young woman who introduced him to the world of dance.) He romanticized combat. He was "living in a novel," his father remembered.
The first military organization that Bergdahl thought of joining, according to his parents in their interviews with Hastings, was the French Foreign Legion. But France turned him down. So he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2008, at the height of the Pentagon's propaganda about the success of COIN, or counter-insurgency strategy, in Iraq and its potential to win hearts and minds and stabilize the country of Afghanistan.
Bergdahl was so into the mission during the training that others in his unit called him, "Mr. Intensity." While they were thumbing copies of Playboy and zapping the enemy in video games during their down time, Hastings reported, Bergdahl "surrounded himself with piles of books, including Three Cups of Tea, about a humanitarian crusade to educate girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as instructions on Zen meditation and an introductory ethics handbook with writings from Aristotle, Augustine, Kant and Hume."
But, as happens so often with soldiers in the field, once Bergdahl was in the combat zone his illusions about the virtues of the mission evaporated. One of his buddies said that when Bergdahl got the chance, "he spent more time with the Afghans than he did with his platoon." Bad leadership and worse commanders rapidly sapped the morale of his unit, which became notorious for its lack of discipline. "If this deployment is lame," Bergdahl supposedly told one of his buddies, "I'm just going to walk off into the mountains of Pakistan." The cynical, sometimes seemingly casual disregard for Afghan lives appalled the young private. He saw an American armored vehicle run over a little girl, and his parents told Hastings that may have been a turning point for him.

Kim Kardashian set to launch baby clothing line
Kim Kardashian is loving being a mom so much, she wants to dress babies around the world just like little North West.
The reality TV star is set to expand her empire by designing her very own baby range inspired by daughter Nori.
Kanye's wife-to-be plans to tackle the designer baby market comes hot on the heels of her and her sisters' hugely successful Kardashian Kollections for high-street label Lipsy.
'I think a baby line is what's next for us, and we definitely would have a lot of experience with what we would need to make that line a success and we're excited about it', Kim revealed on US chat show Jay Leno.
There's no question that Kim's penchant for fashion has already been reflected in baby North's wardrobe. The new mom has showed off her four-month-old daughter's impressive collection of designer duds from Givenchy, Lanvin and Alexander Wang.
So finger's crossed that Kim's design skills are just as chic!

Because the bear contains no animatronics or moving parts, it remains as soft and huggable as any stuffed animal. The bear can even call children by their own names and can be set to work in automatic shuffle mode for younger children. He comes pre-loaded with a starter set of content; additional selections of songs, stories, educational games, and nursery rhymes by award-winning children's performers such as Sarah Hickman, Red Grammer, and Trout Fishing in America may be downloaded from the manufacturer's website (additional charges may apply) by connecting the bear to a computer via the included USB cable.

Great toy, but badly needs a manual
By Jerry
from New York, NY
Best Uses
Really nice toy, very clever and creative. A one or two page manual would have been extremely helpful, as it wasn't at all clear how to turn it on. The web site referred to a power button in the back, but I found that pushing the ear actually turns it on (the back controls the mode and volume only).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Obamacare, Impeachment, Iran, and More Political Predictions for 2014
Whatever else the week between Christmas and New Year's is, it's a godsend for columnists who are short on serious ideas, because we get to do things like write predictions columns. Thank you, Pope Gregory. But I promise you a few surprises, and a couple made of concrete so that you can hold me to them and wave them in my face a few months hence.
1. Situation: Budget Deadline. Prediction: Deal reached after 9 p.m. on January 14.
The year will start bleakly—really going out on a limb there, eh?—as January 15 arrives. Remember, the budget deal reached in December did not appropriate any specific dollars toward any specific program. It just raised the ceiling on the amounts that may be appropriated.
So between now and January 15, congressional appropriators have to set those levels. One has to assume that the GOP establishment's "no more stupid shutdowns" rule will still have force. But there will be enough Tea Party members willing to create enough mischief to make things suspenseful again. I somehow suspect that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), notably sidelined during the December negotiations, won't be quite so cooperative this time around.
I'd still say there won't be a shutdown. House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have that much control over their caucuses. But it's just the rhythm of these things that the radicals have to flex a little muscle this time. I predict a really, really last-minute deal, in which the radicals won't get anything but will have reminded the establishment that they're not lying down.
2. Situation: Debt Limit. Prediction: Obama Will Go Big, Tempt Impeachment Charges.
The Republicans will announce some set of ridiculous debt-limit increase demands. Obama will say, "I'm not negotiating." He has said that every since the first debt fiasco back in 2009, but behind the scenes, the administration has talked.
This time I think it'll be different. I sense Obama has just reached the end of his rope on this one. That face of his, which so rarely betrays an emotion, contorts whenever the issue arises, into the shape of someone who's just sucked a lemon. In addition, Congress's role in the debt limit is at heart a question of constitutional law, and if this con-law president is going to take a stand over anything, it's probably that. I don't know exactly what Obama is going to do, but it could be dramatic—he even had his lawyers studying that platinum-coin nonsense last year. This is the issue on which he'll invite an impeachment charge. I'd imagine he'd like to be the president who settled this one once and for all—assuming it's settled in his direction, which I can't predict, except to say I think efforts to impeach him over the issue would go nowhere and only help Obama.
3. Situation: March 31 Obamacare Sign-Up Deadline. Prediction: Success!
Did you notice that nearly 1 million people signed up for health-care coverage in December? That was to meet the deadline to have coverage by January 1. The final deadline for signing up for the federal or state exchanges is March 31. How many people are going to sign their freedom away between now and the first pitch of the baseball season?
I predict that at this point, another 3 million is a conservative estimate. I'll go ahead and give you a number—by March 31, I say we'll have 5.8 million sign-ups. That's not 7 million, but it's not bad. There's nothing magic about 7 million, mind you—it's not like the Hellmouth starts devouring Sunnydale on April 1 if 7 million isn't hit. It's just a target that was intended to suggest the likelihood of a decent balance of sick and healthy. I doubt 5.8 million would be all that much different.
My broader prediction, echoing what I've written previously, is that Obamacare is not going to be anywhere near the problem for Democrats next fall that most pundits and most polls now are foreseeing.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. Alopecia areata causes the immune system to produce antibodies that attack the body's healthy hair follicles. Hair loss may be acute or chronic, and it may recur.
The cause of alopecia areata is unknown. It is likely due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It most typically affects patches of the scalp. Variations of alopecia areata can cause hair loss on the entire scalp, in men's beards, or over the entire body.
Risk Factors
Alopecia areata is more common in people under 30 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of alopecia areata include:
- Family history of baldness or hair loss
- Predisposition to allergic reactions
- Having another autoimmune disorder, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or Hashimoto thyroiditis
- Stress
Alopecia areata causes sudden, patchy hair loss. Hair loss occurs mainly on the scalp or in the beard.
Your will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. In most cases, the doctor will be able to make the diagnosis based on the exam. There are tests that can confirm alopecia areata or rule out other causes of your hair loss.
Your bodily fluids, hair, and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Taking samples of scalp areas with inflammation to examine under a microscope
- Analyzing samples of hair
- Fungal culture
- Biopsy of the scalp
Your scalp may need to be viewed closely. This can be done with dermoscopy.
Treatment may include a waiting period. During this time, you and your doctor will evaluate your hair loss for progression or remission. Spontaneous remission occurs in nearly half of cases.
If your hair loss persists or progresses, talk to your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Medications to treat alepecia areata may vary depending on your age and include:
- Topical corticosteroids
- Corticosteroid injections into the scalp
- Topical medications that alter the immune system
- Topical minoxidil
Surgical procedures may be an option if medications do not work. Some of these include:
- Laser therapy—To treat patches on the scalp.
- Hair transplant—Taking hair from the back and sides of the head and transplanting it in bald areas. Hair transplant involves multiple procedures.
- Scalp reduction with flaps—Cutting the scalp and pulling the areas with hair closer together.
- Medical tattooing—Colored pigments can be injected into the eyebrows.
Other Treatments
Other ways to treat alopecia areata include:
- Wig or hairpiece
- Photochemotherapy—exposure to ultraviolet light after taking topical or oral medication
- Counseling or support groups

The coming GOP immigration war
On the first day of a House Republican retreat designed to unify the GOP caucus around a message for the 2014 election year, House Speaker John Boehner unveiled a framework for immigration reform that could tear the caucus apart if members cannot agree on the scope and timing of the controversial proposal that has roiled Republicans for decades.
Boehner said as much when he addressed reporters Thursday morning. "This problem's been around for at least the last 15 years. It's been turned into a political football. I think it's unfair," Boehner said. "I think it's time to deal with it. But how we deal with it is going to be critically important."
The issue pits conservative House members, most of whom have few Latinos in their heavily Republican districts, against national GOP leaders and state-wide office holders who are urging the party to be more inclusive of Hispanics, who make up the country's fastest-growing demographic.
"This is something that clearly is more of a legacy issue for Republican leaders in the House than it is a maneuver for political protection in 2014," said David Wasserman, House editor for the Cook Political Report. "No leader wants to be remembered as the head of a 'Do-nothing Congress.' And at the same time these leaders know that their party is unlikely to be a broad, big-tent party if it does not address immigration."
Included in Boehner's one-page set of "immigration principles" are a call to further secure American borders, create a guest-worker program, modernize visa tracking and employment verification, and grant citizenship to undocumented children brought to the U.S. as minors. The most controversial principle would allow millions of unauthorized immigrants to "come forward and get right with the law" with a path to legalization, but not "a special path to citizenship."
A path to citizenship was a key piece of the Senate-passed comprehensive immigration-reform bill embraced by labor and business leaders, but Boehner's caucus made it clear to the speaker that a similar proposal would not pass the House.
Even with the scaled-back legalization language, conservative activists blasted the principles moments after they became public Thursday afternoon. Powerline blog called the proposal "a Death Warrant for Conservatism," while Dan Holler, communications director for Heritage Action, called the document "a full-throated embrace of amnesty."
"The fact that people who are here illegally are immediately allowed to reside here legally gives them a huge leg up over people trying to do things the right way," Holler told The Daily Beast.
Anticipating heat from the right, top Republicans have suggested holding off on House action until after filing deadlines and even primaries passed, a delay that would let sitting Republican members wait until after they have faced conservative primary voters at home.
"It's probably months out," said Rep. Greg Walden, the chairman of the House GOP election efforts, on the timing of a House immigration vote. "The point would be most of the primaries would've faded by then anyway. By the time you get to June, most of them are behind you."

Canceled Wedding Turns Into Dinner for Homeless
(NEWSER) – Willie and Carol Fowler were prepared to lose their deposits. Their daughter canceled her Georgia wedding with just 40 days' notice, and the venue, food, and entertainment were already paid for. Then Willie had "a vision," his wife tells ABC News. "I was in the process of canceling out the venue and he said, 'No, what we'll do is donate it to Hosea Feed the Hungry.'" Their daughter had volunteered for the organization, which helps homeless people in the Atlanta area, when she was younger. And that's how, on Sept. 15, the Fowler Family Celebration of Love was born. Two hundred guests were bused to Villa Christina for a four-course meal complete with coconut shrimp and salmon (the 50 kids in attendance got chicken fingers). The family hopes to get sponsors and make it an annual event, Carol tells WBUR.

I don't know how I lived without it
By Ellen
from New Jersey
As someone who wears a suit to work every day, I felt like I had two jobs and one of them was ironing. I looked at this steamer for a few months before I decided to buy it since I have used other steamers in the past and found myself disappointed. I wish I hadn't waited. I found the set-up to be quick - within fifteen minutes I was ready to go. It heats up very quickly - within a minute it was producing steam - so as my first test I used a wrinkled skirt suit. Normally with the iron it takes about five to ten minutes to get the wrinkles out. This steamer did it in less than two. I especially like the built-in hanger, which makes quick work of jackets, sweaters, et cetera. I also like the fact that it's on wheels, which makes it easy to move. What I like most is the quick heat up - how many times have you put away something from the dry cleaner only to take it out and realize that it's wrinkled? Even when I'm in a rush to get to work, this steamer is quick and easy to use. To anyone concerned about the price, I look at it this way; even by a conservative estimate, I'm saving myself hours, more probably days that I formerly spent ironing. Since the only thing you can't buy is time, that makes it worth every penny.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Superior Steamer
By Blueize120
from NYC
I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law. The only thing I can say is what my daughter told me. "I came home and he was steaming everything". He was not only steaming his recently washed pants and shirts but he was taking clothes from the closet and steming them. He steamed the drapes. He seems to like it alot. It is easy to work and does a good job.

My new best friend!
By C
from South Carolina
I am a new stay-at-home mom and have found this to be an essential household product. Way, way, way better than the iron. More efficient, better results, and much more fun than an iron. Can't live without it.
Easy Steam!
By Lesleyanni
from Garden Grove, CA
Super easy to set up and use, tucks away in a corner near a plug for easy quick use. It makes wrinkled clothes look like they just came from the cleaners! This was a gift and I'm absolutely delighted. I'll recommend it to everyone!! Seems super strong and well made so I expect it to last for years. Waaaay better than an iron!

How did I ever live without my steamer!
By Carol
from Lake Zurich, IL
Ordered on a Sunday evening and it arrived on Tuesday, 2 days later!! When putting it together I realized that the handle was defective, called for instruction and a replacement handle was sent out immediately. Replacement arrived within 2 days and it looked the same so I thought it might be defective too but it did slide in to the lower portion of handle as directed. It did seem like I should have to screw them together, but it didn't allow that and works like a dream. Have steamed, shirts, shorts, pants, bedding. I love it!
Great alternate to iron in home w/kids!
By Becky the busy mom
from Studio City, CA
We have a baby + toddler, so we never take time to iron AND are afraid of having a hot, heavy appliance up high above kids. My husband likes his shirts to look nice and crisp in the mornings, but we never iron anymore. THIS steamer was my answer to our problem and it works beautifully. My husband can steam any shirt really quickly because the steamer heats up fast. There's nothing down low or that can be toppled over that stays hot, so it seems a lot safer than an iron in a house with kids. We also have it backed into a corner, so kids can't mill around or tug at it very much.

The Wacko Birds Will Fly Again
Political combat is a zero-sum game, so it's tempting to say that—if Republicans lost—Democrats must have won. But that's not as right as it sounds.
As President Obama noted in his address this morning, the public is frustrated with everyone in "this town." Americans don't blame Obama and congressional Democrats for the shutdown, but they hold them responsible for some of the dysfunction in Washington. It's why, in the most recent Washington Post poll, only 42 percent of Americans approved of President Obama's conduct, and only 33 percent said the same of congressional Democrats. And the same NBC News pollwith abysmal ratings for the Republican Party also had congressional Democrats with a 36 percent approval rating. The Democratic Party escaped the blast of the GOP's self-destruction, but it wasn't unharmed.
The only victor in this melee—if scuffed, dirty, and covered in broken glass—was the United States and its political institutions. After all, this wasn't a fight over policy as much as it was a battle for the norms of American governance. Can a minority of the minority direct the conduct of the entire government? Can it threaten economic disaster to win concessions?
The answer, for now, is no. Or, as President Obama said in his address this morning, if "You don't like a particular policy or president, then go out there and win an election." Legislative hostage taking has no place in our system.
With that said, it's also true that we're just three months from another budget deadline. Still, the painful experience of the last three weeks should be enough to keep right-wing Republicans from creating another manufactured crisis. Remember, before the stand-off, the National Review's Jonathan Strong askedHouse Budget Chairman Paul Ryan if he thought President Obama was serious about his vow not to negotiate. Ryan scoffed, "Oh, nobody believes that. Nobody believes that…I think most people believe he's just posturing for now."
Now that this fiasco has ended with complete surrender to Obama and congressional Democrats, Ryan and his allies should feel chastened, and aware of one thing: When the stakes are high enough, Obama will not bend.
It's worth noting that some conservatives are trying to claim this outcome as a victory. "We saw first of all, millions of millions of American people rising up across this country, over two million people signing a national petition to defund Obamacare," said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in a press conference following last night's vote, describing his new email list as a victory for conservatives. Likewise, Slate's Dave Weigel scored this incredible quote from South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney, who thinks this was a success for the conservative movement: "We believe we did it for the right reasons. We believe it was good policy. We believe good policy makes good politics."

Bad coordination hampered hunt for Flight 370
(NEWSER) – Search teams wasted three days looking for Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 in the wrong place because countries and companies failed to coordinate their findings, the Wall Street Journal reports. While one group used satellite data to figure the plane's trajectory, another calculated its speed and fuel-consumption rate—until Malaysia set up what it called "an international working group" last week (apparently joining the British satellite company Inmarsat with the NTSB and Boeing). Then the search area in the Indian Ocean shifted abruptly Friday by hundreds of miles. "They don't have the necessary structure for inter-agency coordination," said a former US ambassador to Malaysia. "It has exposed their lack of preparation to deal with such a disaster." For more, read about the latest debris that search teams found in the Indian Ocean.

As the filing deadline for the March 5 election came to a close Friday, some cities faced the possibility of canceling their spring elections.
If no challengers file papers or qualify to run for city council in Lakewood and Paramount, the cities could save as much as $100,000 in election costs, officials said.
As of 5 p.m. Friday, no challengers had qualified to run in either city, according to election officials. The city councils will determine how to handle the elections at upcoming meetings.
In Lakewood, incumbents Diane DuBois, Steve Croft and Todd Rodgers filed for the three seats they now hold.
Only twice in Lakewood's 58-year history has no one challenged the incumbents and the city called off an election.
According to city officials, the council will meet on Dec. 18 to decide whether to cancel the March 5 election and reappoint the three council members.
The city clerk has estimated that an election costs the city between $80,000 and $100,000.
Also up for discussion at next week's meeting is the filling of a council vacancy after Councilman Larry Van Nostran's death last month.
According to state law, the council must decide by Jan. 8 whether to appoint someone or hold a special election on June 5, 2013.
In both cases, the new council member would serve the remainder of Van Nostran's term, which runs until March 24, 2015.
State law requires that a special election occur at the next regularly established election date, as long as it is at least 114 days after the special election is scheduled.
In the Lakewood case, the city's March 5, 2013, regular election date will come too soon; the city would have to wait until June. A special election would cost the city between $80,000 and $100,000, officials said.
Only twice in it's five-decade history has Lakewood had a vacancy created when a sitting council member died. In both cases, the council appointed someone to complete the remainder of the term.
In Paramount, incumbents Peggy Lemon and Gene Daniels have filed for re-election and are qualified to run for the two open seats. As of 5 p.m. Friday, one else had filed.
If no one else files by the deadline, the city has the option to call off the election and appoint the incumbents, said city officials.
In other cities:
Bellflower will have two four-year City Council seats on the March ballot. Incumbent Dan Koops has filed with no challengers; incumbent Scott Larsen, and challenger Billy Moses will run for the other seat.
For one two-year term seat, three challengers qualified: Ron Schnablegger, Gloria Willingham and R. Yahye.
In Signal Hill, three City Council seats are open. As of the 5 p.m. deadline, only one incumbent, Mike Noll, was qualified to run. Eight others filed papers to run, including incumbents Edward Wilson and Ellen Ward, but so far they have not been certified as qualifying for the race, city officials said.
In Cerritos, two City Council seats are open. James Joogham Kang qualified to run for one seat. For the other seat, incumbent Carol Chen has filed to run, but has not yet qualified; she would run against challengers George Ray, Kiyong Ma and Frank Aurelio Yokoyama.
Two other challengers, Gerad Valencia and Alejandro Estella, had also not been qualified.
In Norwalk, two seats are open on the City Council. Incumbents Cherie Kelley and Mike Mendez both filed papers, but so far only Mendez has qualified. Four challengers had pulled papers, but only one - Candy Martinez - had filed as of Dec. 4.

Michael Reagan Blasts "Butler," Obama Moved By Movie
The son of former President Ronald Reagan is blasting the hit movie "The Butler" for its portrayal of his father. In a critical review posted Tuesday on the website Newsmax, Michael Reagan says the film, starring Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker as a White House butler who served seven presidents, is "a bunch of lies." Reagan takes particular exception to the depiction of his father, played by Alan Rickman in the movie, saying the film suggests the former President was racist. He writes, "Despite what Hollywood's liberal hacks believe, my father didn't see people in colors. He saw them as individual Americans."
Meantime, current President Barack Obama, says he was moved by the movie. Politico.com says the President told radio host Tom Joyner in an interview Tuesday that he teared up while watching "The Butler" thinking about not just the butlers who worked in the White House, but "an entire generation" of skilled and talented people who were limited by discrimination. He also said he enjoyed Cuba Gooding, Jr.'s jokes in the movie and watching Oprah perform, calling her "a wonderful actress."

WATCH: Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber Fight Caught On Camera
Listen to Justin Bieber Radio on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber and Orlando Bloom nearly came to blows in Spain — and it was all caught on video.
In footage obtained by TMZ, Bieber and Bloom get into a confrontation that turns into a shoving match.
[PHOTOS: 11 Celebrity Fights Caught On Camera]
Early Wednesday morning local time (Tuesday night in the United States), the singer and actor came face to face at Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza, where fellow celebs such as Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Diddy were partying.
Bloom even threw a punch at Bieber — and although the audio is largely muffled, you can see it on camera in new footage obtained by TMZ.
Bieber reportedly left shortly following the incident, and tweeted after the video surfaced, "Keeping it positive."
So, what may have caused the beef?
Rumors claimed Bieber got too close to Bloom's then-wife Miranda Kerr in 2012, and then the actor hung out with Selena Gomez earlier this year.
Bloom and Kerr split in the time between the two events.
Gossip Cop is seeking more details about the altercation. Check out the original video below.
UPDATE: It just got EVEN MORE interesting. Justin Bieber just posted a picture of Bloom's ex-wife Miranda Kerr on Instagram! Bold.
He removed it minutes later, but not before we got a screenshot!

Company InfoAmerica's Healthiest Grocery Store™
Who are we? Well, we seek out the finest natural and organic foods available, maintain the strictest quality standards in the industry, and have an unshakeable commitment to sustainable agriculture. Add to that the excitement and fun we bring to shopping for groceries, and you start to get a sense of what we're all about. Oh yeah, we're a mission-driven company too.
Quality StandardsStandards that aren't standard anywhere else.
We don't sell just anything. The products we sell must meet our rigorous standards. From basic ingredients to farm animal welfare, seafood sustainability, body care, cleaning products and more, trust us to do the research so you can shop with peace of mind.
Food Ingredient Quality Standards
We have Quality Standards in place every day, in every aisle. We don't allow hydrogenated fats or artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or sweeteners — and that's just for starters.
Produce and Flower Standards
Our Responsibly Grown rating system was developed to address some of the serious challenges facing agriculture today—from pest management and farm worker welfare to water conservation and the protection of pollinator populations.
Animal Welfare and Meat Quality StandardsOur meat comes from animals raised with no antibiotics, ever. The farmers and ranchers we partner with are committed to animal welfare standards.
Seafood Quality Standards
All of the fresh wild-caught seafood we sell is rated for its ecological sustainability. And our farmed seafood standards prohibit antibiotics, pesticides in the water or feed, or algaecides on the nets—and the fish are never genetically engineered.
Body Care Quality Standards
Currently, there are 50 ingredients common in conventional body care products that are not allowed in any body care products we sell. That includes phthalates, microbeads, triclosan, BHT, BHA, aluminum chlorohydrate, and many more.
Dietary Supplement Standards
We are committed to offering research-driven dietary supplements that provide a proven track record without also having artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and hydrogenated oils.
Organic Body Care Standards
Since there aren't mandatory government standards for the "organic" label claim on body care products, we set our own high standards. In our stores, any body care product making an organic claim is required to have certification.
Premium Body Care Standards
A select number of products carry our Premium Body Care symbol, which indicates they are the most exceptional personal care products available. They meet the strictest standards for quality sourcing, environmental impact, results and safety.
Organic Food Standards
All organic food products sold in the US are required to meet strict USDA Organic Standards, which ensure they are grown in environmentally friendly ways, without toxic or persistent agricultural chemicals. The European Union and Canada have similar definitions of organic.
Cleaning Product Standards
There aren't mandatory requirements for listing ingredients on cleaning products, so we developed our Whole Foods Market Eco-Scale™ rating system based on environmental impact, safety, efficacy, source, labeling and animal testing.
Our Quality Standards
We carefully evaluate each and every product we sell.
We feature foods that are free of artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, sweeteners, and hydrogenated fats.
We are passionate about great tasting food and the pleasure of sharing it with others.
We are committed to foods that are fresh, wholesome and safe to eat.
We seek out and promote organically grown foods.
We provide food and nutritional products that support health and well-being.

Kris Jenner gives update on Khloe after filing for divorce
Kris Jenner says Khloe Kardashian is doing "great" in her first comments on her daughter, who recently filed for divorce from Lamar Odom.
"She's strong and…the good news is that she's busy. But she's good," the matriarch tells E! News.
Jenner goes on, "She's got such a big heart but she also is very sensitive. She's got that tougher exterior and sensitive inside, but she's good."
The TV personality notes that Kardashian has "all of us around her," but acknowledges that coming to terms with the end of her marriage will take time.
"I think that when you have a tough decision to make and you finally make it, it's always a relief to come through that process, but it is a process," says Jenner. "So we'll see."

Friday night against Washington it was offensive rebounds. Tonight against the Knicks it was turnovers. Such is life with a young team, where as soon as one hole in the dam is plugged, another pops loose.
The Cavs lost to the Knicks tonight because they couldn't hold onto the ball. The Knicks average 7.5 steals per game, but they had 13 against the Cavs. Every starter had a turnover. Point guards Baron Davis and Ramon Sessions combined for seven turnovers and rookie Samardo Samuels had five.To read more or comment...

Half: Knicks 67, Cavs 57
* Baron Davis scored 11 straight points in 78 seconds to keep this game from getting out of hand. The Cavs were down 19 when Davis hit three consecutive 3-pointers and a layup. He's the reason this game is this close.
* Byron Scott said before the game the Knicks can't overpower anyone. What he could've added is that since they don't play any defense, no team is really out of any game. As the Cavs have just illustrated.To read more or comment...

Luke Bryan returns to top of country albums chart
Listen to Luke Bryan on iHeartRadio
Luke Bryan is seeing renewed interest in his most recent studio album.
Last week's sales of Crash My Party totaled just under 33,300, which is a 77% increase over the previous week. It's also enough to propel Bryan's CD back to the top of the Billboard Country Albums chart, while it climbed back up to the number six spot on the Billboard 200.
It also marks the fifth time Luke's album has topped the country chart. The disc debuted at number one following its release last August, and enjoyed a four week chart-topping run. Crash My Party returned to number one two more times last fall, and topped the chart once again in January.
The album features four number one singles, including the title track and Luke's current hit, "Play It Again."

Get a whiff of that. Riesling is famous for its intense aromas, so take those in before enjoying a sip. At Wine Chateau, we have an extensive collection of this popular white wine with fruity yet complex aromas and high acidity. Nose around our selection to find a bottle or a case of this sweet stuff.
There is a widely held misconception that all Rieslings are super sweet. Most Riesling wines run sweet, especially lower-end ones, but dryer Rieslings are also available for those looking to try this multi-dimensional wine. The most notable flavors include apricot, peach, nectarine, pear, apple, pineapple and lemon. Its strong aromas range from honey, ginger and citrus blossom to petrol and rubber more commonly found in aged varieties. The profile of Riesling depends greatly on the growing region, so we recommend ordering several bottles from different regions to compare.
Despite its reputation as an easy wine for the less refined palate, some Rieslings are high sought-after by connoisseurs and winos. Late harvest Rieslings with noble rot are among the most expensive varieties, and the older, more aged Rieslings that give off a petrol, diesel or rubber aromas intrigue many experts. Before you dismiss Riesling as a lesser white wine, consider its variations and complex characteristics.
The sweetness, acidity and crispness of good Riesling wine balance out spicy food, so don't be afraid to spice things up. When you're craving some Thai takeout or looking for strong Indian spices, pair your meal with Riesling. This wine can certainly take – and cut – the heat. We recommend enjoying this wine with lighter meats, especially with a cayenne pepper element, soy sauce or teriyaki sauce. Add a side of roasted vegetables to round out your meal and bring out the unexpected from your bottle.
Whether you're looking for a young Riesling with fruity flavors or an aged variety with unique petrol aromas, browse our selection at Wine Chateau. We have varieties from around the world that may give you a new perspective on this white wine. Shop by the case to have enough for yourself and for gifts. If you end up keeping the whole case, we would never tell.

On stage, in the studio and at home with the Korg SV-1 & Wavedrum
"The SV-1 is my primary practice keyboard," says Jamie, "so it's the first thing my tour manager puts in my dressing room in the morning – I walk in and it's there! This is the first tour it has been on, so I'm not yet using it live, but I'm sure it is going to end up on stage by the end."
The Korg instrument Jamie plays most on stage is his WaveDrum, which has been used throughout each gig of the current tour. Off stage, however, it also plays an important role in the studio. "I am very fond of getting loops and drum beats going to write over," explains Jamie, "and quite often, I start with a WaveDrum loop and improvise to a click for five minutes. It's so creative because it speaks to the way I work, which is to improvise. You can hit almost any part of it and get a sound!
