"Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy Forcibly Guest-Edits High School Newspaper Article About His Own Visit."
38 comments:

I wonder what would Kennedy have done if they said that his approval and rewrite was another story and slammed him with a critical story calling him the worst person in the world?
- miller said...
One rule for us, the proles, and another rule for them, the elite rulers.
- Henry said...
That's satire again, isn't it.
- Henry said...
Sarcasm! I meant sarcasm!
- former law student said...
Perhaps they don't have a culture of fact checking at the Daltonian. Perhaps one time too many, Justice Kennedy has been surprised to read what some high schoolers thought they had heard him say.
- pst314 said...
"Perhaps they don't have a culture of fact checking at the Daltonian"
Sure they do--they just ask the editors at The Nation. - 11/11/09, 5:21 PM
- Slow Joe said...
Why in the hell did they abide by his request?
I suspect that this story is complete bullshit, and someone wanted to quote Kennedy, or get further comments, and he obliged.
I'm not a fan of Justice Kennedy, but I just don't think he would claim the paper cannot print something until he gives the thumbs up. If he did, impeach his ass. - 11/11/09, 5:25 PM
- t-man said...
Quotations were 'tidied up' to better reflect the meaning the justice had intended to convey.
I bet a lot of lawyers before the Supreme Court would like to "tidy up" the transcript of oral argument to better reflect what they had intended to convey. - 11/11/09, 5:40 PM
- AC245 said...
Perhaps Kennedy is just a big Family Guy fan and wanted to help the students avoid a lawsuit.
WIFE: Luke! Luke, time for dinner!
LUKE PERRY: In a minute, babe.
I'm reading every high school newspaper in America to see if I'm mentioned.
[Spots Meg's article claiming Luke Perry is gay]
LUKE PERRY: Oh, my God! Meg Griffin, you are so sued. - 11/11/09, 6:49 PM
- Lem said...
I'm sorry.. I jumped the gun there.
I thought (b4 reading the whole story) that Kennedy was being attacked.
The story was more about his staff than about the justice himself.
Still. I meant every word I said had it being about the injustice upon the justice i had imagined. - 11/11/09, 7:09 PM
- Ignorance is Bliss said...
It sounds like there was nothing counter to the law. Kennedy agreed to talk at the school, in return for the right to review and edit any reporting of the event in the school newspaper. I assume that such an agreement binds the school, and the school paper, but could not stop a student from publishing an unapproved article in some other paper.
Oh, and if Kennedy's quotes have been edited from what he said to something else, then they are no longer quotes from the event, and reporting them as such would be journalistic malfeasance. Another important skill for reporters to learn early. - 11/11/09, 7:13 PM
- Lem said...
If I had gone to law school I believe i would have been a defense attorney.
I'm not talking about trying to get Hasan nor Sodini off. I'm talking about the belief that we should give every one the fairest shake possible.
I watched an interview on CSpan with Melvin Urofsky author of Louis D. Brandeis "A Life".
He spoke for an hour with Brian Lamb about Brandeis and I thought this is an American I should know about. I ordered the book. - 11/11/09, 7:37 PM
- Lem said...
The idea that Brandeis had a kind of a round of the knights table in Washington - as a Supreme - is fascinating.
They cant and/or wont do that anymore.
"He was a republican but he was a democrat"
"He was a conservative but he was a liberal".
wv - tryin - 11/11/09, 8:04 PM
- Lem said...
I'm waching the interview again.
Frankfurter took a "stipend" from Brandeis for a while to support him. (it was not illegal then)
Frankfurter did not make enough/little as a professor. - 11/11/09, 8:11 PM
- Lem said...
Brandeis had "a woman with a head for numbers" handling his finances"..
A famous biographer called him..
"The intellectual architect of the new freedom". - 11/11/09, 8:20 PM
- blake said...
Anyone else envisioning an old guy grabbing a pencil out of some 14-year-old girl's hand and scribbling, "the BEST of the Supreme Court Justices..."?
Just me?
(No, I didn't read the story. That would ruin it.) - 11/11/09, 8:24 PM
- Lem said...
I'm going to go on a limb and say that maybe be would have been better known had he not been born a jew..
I'm guessing. (I could be wrong) - 11/11/09, 8:24 PM
- Lem said...
there was a justice that didn't "get along" with him.
the justice would at times "walk out" when it was Brandeis turn to speak in conference. - 11/11/09, 8:28 PM
- Lem said...
He had an aversion for "bigness" in government AND in businesses.
it took 6 months to confirm him.
he had friends and enemies in both parties alike. - 11/11/09, 8:35 PM
- Lem said...
He was not initially active in woman suffrage nor in the civil rights movements.
while a supreme he did side with the naacp.
wv - imerses - 11/11/09, 8:37 PM
- Lem said...
Cold, hard all business no nonsence. made use of every minute of his time.
Everything I heard in this interview when coupled with how i interpret Althouses writing here on her blog tells me Althouse is a Brandisian of the first order.
Maybe there there is another justice i never heard of she likes better but as i said I think Althouse is of the Brandeis school - at least when it comes to her political way approach.
and I haven't even read the Brandeis bio yet. - 11/11/09, 8:49 PM
- Lem said...
He would have mixed reactions (the author surmises) to his book (Other People's Money and How the Bankers Use It) been largely quoted for free in Wikipedia.
- Lem said...
He did not use the phone until much later in life because he thought it too much of an intrusion on his privacy.
- PatHMV said...
Just to add a little context, it was only a few weeks ago that lefty blogs rocketed around a misquote of Justice Scalia, claiming he said that he would have dissented in Brown v. Board of Education. In fact (as anybody with half would have known), Justice Scalia said he would have dissented in Plessy, and thus would have voted to find "separate but equal" unconstitutional. Had he not been on video, there would probably still be idiots out there claiming he really did say he would vote against Brown.
So I'm a little sympathetic with the Justice and his staff, though I agree he should have found a better way to handle the problem. - 11/11/09, 9:03 PM
- Lem said...
The story of how one of the justices did not sign a letter congratulating Brandeis on his retirement from the court (signed by all the other justices) i thought touching.
- Lem said...
Just to add a little context, it was only a few weeks ago that lefty blogs rocketed around a misquote of Justice Scalia, claiming he said that he would have dissented in Brown v. Board of Education.
this is the kind of thing that drives them more into caves of isolation, to the point where we know more about our enemies than our justices.
it would be funny if it wasn't true. - 11/11/09, 9:10 PM
- Lem said...
"He almost invents pro bono".
wv - mander
OMG - 950 some pages.. yikes - 11/11/09, 9:21 PM
- Lem said...
Lamb asked name something that makes him one of the best Supremes of all time.
"His work on free speech and privacy".
("he burned a lot his papers".. too bad) - 11/11/09, 9:26 PM
- Lem said...
BTW - its not just Tropper still MIA ...
we also have an Amber Alert for Simon.. the lawyer..
(no el hijo de Jonas ;) - 11/11/09, 9:41 PM
- Lem said...
Truth is i dont really know if Simon was a lawyer..
he had Scalia as his avatar.. and seemed to be versed on law about as much as i'm on baseball.
i think its interesting that at one time there was a supreme that was also a baseball commissioner.
Cant say that about football can you ;) - 11/11/09, 9:57 PM
- Lem said...
speaking of baseball..
there is a star surplus... more like a glut.
its going to be good for the smaller markets... pick up a star cheap. - 11/11/09, 10:02 PM

McReynolds. Magnificently conservative, he was the staunchest of the anti-New Deal justices. He wrote the enigmatic to the point of Sphinxitude opinion in US v. Miller, the last Second Amendment case for almost seventy years. - 11/12/09, 12:28 AM

Well, I read Lem's stuff Iapetus. He's very entertaining and smart.
So that's at least one person not bored at all. - 11/12/09, 9:10 AM

Joe said,
"Silly, Ann; thinking the US Constitution is about limiting government."
Silly Joe, thinking we are are a constitutional republic; after all, G.W.Bush himself declared of the Constitution, "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
And he proved it by enthusiastically violating the Constitution, to the active cheers (or dumb acceptance) of his adoring fans in the media and the country at large.
Now, Con Law Prof. Barack Obama, by continuing and even expanding on Bush policies, similarly treats the Constitution as provisional, to be observed only as convenience suggests. - 11/12/09, 9:36 AM

These five K-Pop Idols Are Noted For Being Large Clumsy And Having "Minus Hands"
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterEver had that one favoritesuperstar who turns out to be clumsy at everything? Netizens have indexed down the idol staffcontributors known for their clumsiness, which may be known as, "minus hands."
A post on Daum Cafe received attention for record down the head five idols known for their "minus hands," another way explained as consistent clumsiness all the manner through their pronounces or performances.
On best of the list was Great Junior's Donghae who was oncenoticedfiddling with their gentle sticks at their concert, yetin the end breaking two. He also is allegedly known to have damaged a fellow member's pc and is incessantly captured by way ofenthusiasts in failing to drinking water from a bottle.
Second at the list is SHINee's Taemin who is understood for his "magic hands" and forgetfulness. In the photo featured in the post, he changed intovisible lightly tapping the table ahead of IT slid down on him and the remainder of the members. Is it more of clumsiness or sheer misfortune?
BTS' RapMonster is also no longer new to this occurrence having been called as "Destroyer Monster" by his fans.
Leading the list amongfeminineladycommunity members, however, is Apink's Naeun who is popular for her notedcorrect hand. This implies that her fellow members have a tendency to keep away fromrisk if they pass her on her right. The photo integrated in this post proves it.
Last but now not least is TWICE's Sana, known of her nickname "Sadotteol," as she has a tendency to drop things slightly often.
Have you discovered any equivalent incidences on your favourite idol?

Hermit's Trail to Hermit's Rapids
Trip Start
May 15, 2009
Trip End
May 23, 2009
Where I stayed
Hermit's Rapids
As we lost more and more elevation, it was like we were slowly being swallowed by the canyon. The blue sky was getting farther and farther away. About 2 miles into the 9 mile trip we arrived at Santa Maria Springs. A small hut was built here to offer refuge from the sun next to a water collection trough. Santa Maria Springs surfaces high above our current location and runs down the side of the cliff until finally contained in the trough. The metal trough is covered in algae and filled with tadpoles, but we filtered the water and topped off our water supply anyway. As we drank it later in the day, it had a strong sulfur smell, and tasted quite minerialy (if that is a real word). After leaving the Springs, we soon ran into a family of 4 making the ascent. They appeared to be laboring with their slow pace, and thanked us for yielding to them on the narrow trail. This was the first real impression we got about our return trip. We knew it would be very challenging, but to see their expressions and their body language took it to a whole other level.
We continued descending further into the depths, staying mostly shaded. The shade was a serious relief, as even a few seconds in the shade seemed to lift our spirits. We wound through the Hermit Gorge, crossing rock slides and noticing the trail getting narrower and narrower until we stood at the top of The Cathedral Stairs. The Stairs are a series of 25-30 short switchbacks that drop you very quickly to the lower levels of the canyon. At this point the sun was high enough in the sky that there was few places to hide from it. Also, the temperature averages about 20 degrees hotter at the bottom than it does on the rim. The rim was about 90-95 degrees yesterday by noon so you can only imagine the wrath of the sun when there is no place to hide.
We soon reached the Tonto Trail intersection, which would take us the remainder of the way to Hermit's Camp. Near the intersection was a large boulder with a small overhang. There were 3 hikers huddled in that very tight spot trying to get out of the sun. We waved and continued on, even though a bit of shade would have done us well right about then. We soon came to the Hermits Camp/Hermits Rapids intersection. This told us we had about another 1.5 miles to our campsite at the rapids. We dropped down into Hermits Creek and followed it down stream until we heard the ever-growing roar of the mighty Colorado River at Hermits Rapids. We dropped our backpacks under a nice shady tree a few feet from the creek and just laid there, our bare feet in the cool creek; exhausted. After 9 miles and 8 hours, I would say we had accomplished something, but the return trip up is supposed to take twice as long. We scarfed down a hot meal, set up our tent, replenished our water, and were off to sleep, hopefully getting some good rest for our tired bodies.

Salvation Army Kicks Off Christmas Outreach
The Salvation Army will spend the next month ringing bells, wrapping gifts and helping spread holiday cheer.
"When you partner with the Salvation Army, you are helping families in need. And not only that, our programs help so many different individuals - the homeless, ex-prisoners, children, the youth," Catherine Meck, with the local Salvation Army said.
The Salvation Army kicked of it's annual Angel Tree program and Red Kettle campaign this month, and the organization will also give meals to families in need this Christmas and help out area teens.
"We have a goal of 600 families this year," Meck said.
You can adopt an angel at Westgate Mall or make a monetary donation, and if you want to do a little more, Meck says they can always use an extra hand.
"We always need help and volunteers. Come on out and bell ring for us. It's a great opportunity to be part of the community."
An opportunity to be part of the community, and part of a strong christmas tradition, serving poeple on the High Plains.

text: You'll Never Forget Your First 3DS Street Pass NotificationStephen Totilo3/31/11 1:04pmFiled to: Missed Connections3dsTopOriginal2891EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink On the fourth day since the official release of the Nintendo 3DS, I finally walked past someone else who had the system and was sharing their data ... at the Sony Style Store, surrounded by PSPs and PS3s. Advertisement I don't know exactly when it happened. Possibly when I was talking to some PlayStation public relations people in front of a TV that was showing Uncharted 3 in 3D. Possibly while I was watching a new level of Infamous 2. At some point, my 3DS, tucked into my bag and set to Street Pass sleep mode, detected the 3DS of a 3DS owner who goes by the name Black Bible, likes dogs and dreams that someday he'll be richHe didn't tell me any of this... his Mii did. Black Bible is really Antwand Pearman who works at the website GamerFitNation and gave me his card. I already can't find his card, but his Mii is in my Mii Plaza, just hanging out. (I wanted him to fight for me in Find Mii, the free role-playing game in each 3DS, but he's not available for that, for some reason.) Every Mii can have a motto. His hyped his website. I hope he appreciates mine, which is "Yay for icecream" ...had to cut a space due to character limitations. Advertisement I didn't notice the Street Pass notification until this morning when I noticed that a green light was illuminated on my 3DS. I'd snagged that first Mii at 6:40pm yesterday.

At the year-end meeting of NAHOS, the National Association of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, the subject was child survivors —from toddlers to teenagers — presented by Anna Andlauer, author of "The Rage to Live: The International D.P, Children's Center Kloster Inderdorf 1945-46."
An SRO event at Park East Synagogue, the spellbound audience listened as Andlauer — who recalled her parents' "stories of prisoners working on their farm"— detailed the restorative work at the UN-established center at the Bavarian Convent of the Merciful Sisters in Bavaria, which sheltered young Holocaust survivors. There was an ironic gasp when Andlauer informed, "at the Kloster, Nazi flag material was transformed into clothing and bed linen."
In a one-hour recitative, Andlauer revealed "The first year, 613 [!] were treated from more than 20 nationalities — ranging from toddlers to [age] 14. There was Walter who survived two years in an underground cave in Ukraine, there were children who had worked in German arms factories, non-Jewish slave laborers who had to be re-educated and taught Polish to be reunited with their families in Poland."
Courtesy of Anna Andlauer
Andlauer credited the work of Greta Fischer, a social worker on the UN team who had worked with the traumatized children and thanks to whose records Andlauer was able to track down more than fifty of these child survivors all over the world discovering heretofore "unknown photos and reports."
""Who are my parents? Why didn't they care for me?' was a frequent lament. "Children had to re-establish a sense of personal worth. All clothing of toddlers and infants [were] kept for I.D.s in case a parent would recognize a dress. Each child was allowed to decide with whom to share a room…Jewish children [were] full of hate for the Nazis. Gentile children survivors [were] anti-Semitic. Jewish children were not allowed to celebrate Christmas, but Purim 1946. Most missed five years of education."
The audience, which included many survivors, listened somberly as Andlauder read from her notes: "All they wanted to do at the Kloster was talk, talk, talk…of suffering, separation…smaller brothers and sisters. There was little show of emotion. Some were so traumatized they could not even talk…Yet the rage to live blocked out problems." She recalled "The first kibbutz group [were] Hungarian Habonim teenagers, who worked the farm to provide food."
" Teenagers took care of toddlers. Some teenagers refused to return to their countries, suffered nightmares [yet] felt they could weather any difficulty, go without food for days. Youngsters felt superior to adults who had not experienced their life…." At lecture's end, Andlauer was besieged by survivors and listened patiently to each story—then left to catch a plane home that night.
In her note to me from Germany, Andlauer, wrote: "The book [which offers insights into the creation of a therapeutic milieu for displaced children in the American Zone in post-war Germany, "is the culmination of a decade's worth of research [and travel]. "

"There is a theory that what is said by an elocutionist is immaterial. It is the sound and inflection of the voice that matters. In this amusing scene, the "Whittlebot Family" attempt to demonstrate the theory. The Introducer...Tubby Edlin."
M/S of a stage - patterned curtains are the backdrop. A droll looking fellow walks along and opens the curtains to reveal two musicians. They look at each other with wary expressions. Tubby Edlin does a very fey pose as if to say "Well, here they are." "The Elocutionist... Maisie Gay." Maisie comes onto the stage wearing a rather odd costume. She bows. C/U of Maisie - a very odd looking woman - reciting a poem. She pulls funny faces as she speaks (she could be singing actually). "Beloved, it is dawn, I rise to smell the roses sweet. Emphatic are my hips and thighs, Phlegmatic are my feet." reads the intertitle. Another C/U of her gurning. M/S shows that the musicians are playing and Tubby is holding his chest as if overcome with emotion. C/U of Tubby who wears funny round glasses and a bow tie.
He begins to sing: "Her voice... the dulcet tones! Her face... oh, what a face! Come! let us hear her once again." He leaves the stage and returns with a little box for her to stand on. She stands in front of it and continues to sing. "Ten thousand roses have I got Within a garden wall, God give me strength to sniff the lot, Oh, let me sniff them all." She takes a bow as she finishes her song then trips over the box, falling into the musicians.

Justin Bieber has overtaken fellow pop star Lady Gaga to become the most popular celebrity on Twitter.
Lady Gaga broke a number of records as she clocked up millions of followers on the social networking website, but the teenage singer has always been hot on her heels and he has now officially overtaken Gaga to rack up the most online followers.
Both stars have been hovering around the 33 million mark, but Bieber overtook his rival by several thousand on Monday night.
Gaga acknowledged Bieber's growing Twitter.com fan base earlier this month, writing in a message to the teenager, "So proud of Justin Bieber and all the Beliebers! I'm only happy to see your fans growing in size, you all deserve it!"
Gaga has held the title of "most followed" user on the website since she overtook previous Twitter queen Britney Spears in 2010.
The singer and her teenage rival are followed by Katy Perry in third place, while another singer, Rihanna, is in fourth ahead of President Barack Obama.

Man City star believes Man Utd ace should lead England if Chelsea man ruled out
PUBLISHED: 23:47 10 October 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Wayne Rooney might have labelled Joe Hart as the best goalkeeper in the world last week - but if Roy Hodgson needs another captain on Friday, the Manchester City man knows who he thinks will get the call.
With Steven Gerrard suspended and vice-captain Frank Lampard troubled by a knee injury picked up on Chelsea duty at the weekend, Hodgson might be picking a team for the World Cup qualifier with San Marino without his captain and deputy.
Of the alternatives, Rooney and Hart are the most plausible candidates given Ashley Cole will not be considered, even if he does win his 99th cap.
Hart had plenty of backers when the job was up for grabs after John Terry was stripped of it for a second time last season - but he sees Rooney as a more obvious candidate.
"I've no idea who is going to be captain but I am pretty sure it will fall to Rooney," said Hart.
"He is our star man with 10 million caps at the age of whatever he is, 26?
"I imagine he is a little bit further up the queue than me."
Fabio Capello did give Rooney the job once, for the friendly defeat to Brazil in Qatar three years ago but was never convinced by Rooney's leadership qualities though.
And as Dino Zoff and Iker Casillas have both captained World Cup-winning teams from their goalkeeping positions, there is no reason why Hart could not be considered.
"Of course I would, anyone would," said Hart, when asked if he would like to do the job.
"But I didn't go into goal thinking I wanted to be captain.
"I just want to play and do my best for the team, whether you've got the band or you haven't.
"It is a great thing to play for your country. I'm not really bothered who is in charge of it."
What moved Rooney to express his admiration for Hart on Twitter was his outstanding performance against Borussia Dortmund last Wednesday.
Hart made a succession of first-class saves to keep his side in the game, and the fact City emerged with a point stalled an early Champions League exit for the second season running.
It would be safe to assume he will receive no such accolades this week.
Rated as the joint worst team in the world by FIFA, it is hard to imagine San Marino posing any kind of threat.
"As a kid I used to enjoy it when we got hammered and there was loads to do," he said.
"But this is our livelihoods now. I want us to win 10-0 and me not to touch the ball. I am not going to stand there and sulk because they are not coming near the penalty area."
Although Hodgson has vowed not to take any risks with the players he needs for next Tuesday's crucial trip to Poland, there has been no suggestion Hart might be one of the players rested.
Indeed, he might want as much time as possible playing behind a defence no longer containing John Terry.
Hart laments Terry's absence, although diplomatically refused to enter into any discussions about the reasons for it.
Instead, he wants to keep focussed on his job, aware his own reputation is growing thanks to the observations of people like Rooney, to the point where he is being compared to the very best.
"Gianluigi Buffon was outstanding at the Euros and I've played against Casillas a few times. He's a ridiculously good keeper," said Hart.
"We've attracted (Hugo) Lloris to the Premier League now and he's also highly-rated, then there's Manuel Neuer, who seems to have that Germany jersey for a long time."
And, much closer to home, Hart even has words of praise for David de Gea, who has received so much criticism since his arrival at Manchester United.
"You have to find your own way of being a goalkeeper," said Hart.
"You don't have to be 6ft 8ins and able to fight 10 people at the same time.
"He (De Gea) has had great games where he's done things others couldn't do.
"There are pros and cons with every goalkeeper and the majority of the time, the pros outweigh the cons."

[author, Donna Edwards, Atlanta, +1 212 572 2701, email@example.com.]
In 2009, the US Supreme Court provided a roadmap for plan administrators to follow when determining the proper beneficiary under an ERISA-covered employee benefit plan. The Court, in Kennedy v. Plan Administrator for DuPont Savings and Investment Plan, et al 1, held that the administrator of an ERISA-covered employee benefit plan need only look to the governing plan documents to determine the proper plan beneficiary (the "plan documents rule").
The Kennedy Case
In the Kennedy case, William Kennedy, a participant in DuPont's tax-qualified retirement plan, designated his wife, Liv, as his primary beneficiary on the plan's prescribed beneficiary designation form. The couple later divorced, and Liv gave up under the divorce decree (which did not qualify as a "qualified domestic relations order" ("QDRO")) any right related to William's plan benefits. However, although the plan permitted a beneficiary to submit a "qualified disclaimer" (as described under Internal Revenue Code Section 2518) of plan benefits, Liv did not submit such a disclaimer waiving her plan benefits, and William did not change his beneficiary designation under the plan. When William died in 2001, both Liv's and William's estate claimed his plan benefit. The plan administrator decided that Liv was the proper beneficiary and paid William's plan benefit to her. The estate sued the plan administrator and DuPont.
The Supreme Court found in favor of Liv, holding that the plan administrator and DuPont were correct in looking only to the governing plan documents, and not the divorce decree, to determine the proper plan beneficiary. The Court explained that requiring the plan administrator to look only to the plan documents would provide the greatest degree of certainty for both plan administrators and participants and would prevent plan administrators from having to evaluate waivers and other extrinsic evidence to determine the proper beneficiary.
Open Issues
An issue left open by the Supreme Court in the Kennedy case was the effect of a beneficiary's waiver of plan benefits made in a manner consistent with plan documents. We suspect such a waiver, if permitted by and made in accordance with plan documents, should be treated as part of the plan documents and thus given effect.
In addition, the Court in the Kennedy case stated that its holding did not address a situation in which the plan does not provide an opportunity for a beneficiary to disclaim his or her plan benefit.
However, the recent case of Boyd v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. 2 presented the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals with the opportunity to consider just such a case. In the Boyd case, a participant in an ERISA-covered life insurance plan, Emma, designated her husband, Robert, as her plan beneficiary in accordance with the plan's terms. In the event a participant failed to designate a beneficiary, the plan provided that benfits would be distributed to the participant's estate. The plan did not specify any procedure for beneficiaries to follow to waive their benefits.
Emma and Robert later separated and entered into a separation agreement in which Robert waived any claim to Emma's life insurance benefits. Although the plan allowed participants to change their beneficiary at any time by sending a written request to the plan administrator, Emma failed to take this step. Upon Emma's death, the plan administrator distributed the life insurance benefits to Robert. Emma's estate sued, claiming eligibility to the benefits on the theory that Robert relinquished his rights to the benefits.
The 4th Circuit held in the Boyd case that the plan documents rule does not hinge on whether a plan provides for a formal waiver procedure, and that the plan administrator properly paid the plan benefits to Robert in accordance with Emma's beneficiary designation on file with the plan. The Court noted that Robert did not wish, in fact, to refuse his benefits.
The Court also explained that an ERISA plan beneficiary always has the option to refuse benefits at the moment of distribution. Thus, the only way a plan really could provide no means for a beneficiary to renounce an interest in benefits would be if the plan somehow prevented the beneficiary from refusing to take the benefit. 3
Finally, the Supreme Court in the Kennedy case noted that the estate contended that requiring a plan administrator to distribute benefits in conformity with plan documents will allow a beneficiary who murders a participant to obtain benefits under the terms of the plan. However, the Court stated that the "slayer" case was not before it, and thus the Court did not address it.
We see a couple of insights for plan administrators from the Kennedy and Boyd cases. First, plan administrators should look only to plan documents, including any QDROs, waivers or disclaimers permitted by and made in accordance with the plan documents, in determining the beneficiary of a participant's plan benefit. Although a third party may have an appealing argument that he or she, as opposed to the participant's properly designated beneficiary or alternate payee, should receive the plan benefit, the plan administrator's fiduciary obligation is to follow the plan documents, and the Kennedy case shows that the plan administrator should not consider evidence extrinsic to those plan documents.
In addition, plan administrators should establish clear plan provisions and procedures for beneficiary designations and effectively communicate those provisions and procedures to plan participants, including the effect (if any) of a divorce on beneficiary designations. Plan administrators should also encourage participants to carefully consider beneficiary designations and to revise them as needed.

Reese Witherspoon charged with disorderly conduct
This combination of undated photo provided by the City of Atlanta Department of Corrections shows Reese Witherspoon, left, her husband James Toth. [auth] The Oscar-winning actress was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after a state trooper said she wouldn't stay in the car while Toth was given a field sobriety test in Atlanta. (AP Photo/City of Atlanta Department of Corrections)
ATLANTA (AP) — Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after a state trooper said she wouldn't stay in the car while her husband was given a field sobriety test in Atlanta.
Witherspoon was released from jail after the Friday morning arrest and was in New York Sunday night for the premiere of her new film "Mud." She posed for cameras on the red carpet but did not stop to talk to reporters.
The trooper noticed the car driven by her husband wasn't staying in its lane early Friday morning, so a traffic stop was initiated. Her husband, James Toth, had droopy eyelids, watery, bloodshot eyes, and his breath smelled strongly of alcohol, according to the report.
Toth told the trooper he'd had a drink, which Witherspoon said was consumed at a restaurant two hours before the traffic stop, the trooper writes.
Before the field sobriety test began, the 37-year-old Witherspoon got out of the car, was told to get back in and obeyed, the report said. After the "Walk the Line" star got out a second time, the trooper said he warned her that she would be arrested if she left the car again.
As the test continued, "Mrs. Witherspoon began to hang out the window and say that she did not believe that I was a real police officer. I told Mrs. Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet," Trooper First Class J. Pyland writes.
Toth, 42, was then placed under arrest. He was charged with driving under the influence and failure to maintain the lane.
At that point, the report says, Witherspoon got out and asked the trooper what was going on. After being told to return to the car, she "stated that she was a 'US Citizen' and that she was allowed to 'stand on American ground,'" the report states.
The trooper then began to arrest Witherspoon. The report says Witherspoon was resistant at first but was calmed down by her husband.
"Do you know my name?" Witherspoon is quoted as asking the trooper. She also said: "You're about to find out who I am" and "You're about to be on national news," according to the report.
Toth and Witherspoon were then taken to jail.
A message left at the office of Witherspoon's publicist, Meredith O'Sullivan Wasson, wasn't immediately returned Sunday.
News of the arrest broke shortly before Witherspoon arrived on the "Mud" red carpet.
"I can't say anything because I don't know," said director Jeff Nichols. " I literally — the first guy on the press line to say something was the first time I heard about it so I gotta go figure it out."
Matthew McConaughey, who plays the lead role in "Mud" and is represented by Toth, said "I'm not going to comment on that because it's too fresh."
AP reporter Lauri Neff contributed to this report from New York.

Drug And Alcohol Rehab Centers in Farragut TN
Rehab facilities vary from detoxing, medication, behavioral treatment and prevent a regression. Such treatments concentrate on the psychological health and medical needs of the patient. As soon as you join a rehab program, one will be given support and motivated in the course to healing.
Drug addiction is a serious issue that affects significantly more individuals all over the world. Substance abuse can trigger severe cases of mental issues. In the past, the bulk of people feared joining a rehabilitation center considered that the treatment that they received was inconsiderate and uncaring. Nowadays, there are just a couple of individuals who harbor these beliefs. The places have welcomed treatment programs with a more caring and kinder technique. One primary focus of such a program is real kindness and care. For that reason, when challenged with substance reliance, you can join a rehabilitation center. This is a terrific method to start recovery by equipping them with the ability to recognize along with manage the possibilities of relapse when living your genuine life once again.
Getting The Best Deal On A Drug Rehab Centers
Given that substance abuse has numerous dimensions, it disrupts many aspects in the addicts life. Treatment isn't really basic, due to the fact that in order for it to work, the addict should be prepared to alter. Efficient treatment programs normally incorporate different components, each which are directed to certain aspects of this disease. Addiction treatments will help people to stop using substances, keep their drug-free way of life, and even accomplish a more efficient regimen. Considering that substance addiction generally is a persistent illness, many people can not control their substance addictions unless they have correct treatment. A lot of people unfortunately require long-lasting and repeated episodes of rehabilitation in order to attain and sustain abstinence drugs. Armed with this knowledge you can find the best drug rehab centers in the surrounding 51639 area.
A behavioral treatment essentially assists patients to take part in the whole recovery process. It modifies the patients behaviors and attitudes connected to their drug abuse to enhance their opportunities of a much healthier way of life. These treatments may even boost the precision of medications that assist people to remain on their treatment. Treatments for substance addiction can only be delivered through different settings with various behavioral methods. Remember to pick the best drug rehab in Farragut.
How To Decide On A Drug Rehab Center
The story behind your addiction is unique. The personnel at your chosen treatment facility understands this. Their goal is to see you prosper, not only during your stay with them, but as soon as you leave the center. Although there are many substance rehabilitations offered to choose between, no two are exactly the same. Becoming sober will not make you robotic. You will be happy for years to come with your drug rehab centers near you, now.
Just like the professional mental assist with recognized mental disorder, drug dependency clients have to look for the very best treatment for their certain behavior and substance addiction patterns. It needs to be pointed out that smaller rehabilitation centers have a greater opportunity for an one-on-one treatment session which is important in later stages of the treatment program. Keeping this in mind will help you choose the right drug rehab centers for you.
Deciding On A Drug Rehabs Near Me
You can not stay at the rehabilitation center forever, however the people you have actually begun to think about as like a family will not leave your life.

They desire you to be successful and continue to be successful, for that reason, they give you the strategies you require for this.
Apart from being known for treating their patients with success through its advertisements in your area this ought to not be the only meter stick in making your decision. Calling people who have gotten treatment or are informed about the effectiveness of a rehabilitation center is likewise a helpful method to properly pick. Lastly, consider that a smaller sized rehab center likewise has a greater likelihood for an one-on-one therapy which is critical in the later of stages of treatment.

Thread: EBJD - signs I should look for?
EBJD - signs I should look for?
My EBJD is just starting to get to the age now that supposedly disaster strikes. He's a touch over 3" and eating well and looking good. Ok, he's getting to the age where I'm starting to worry about disaster striking, lol. I imagine that he has another 1/2 inch to inch to go.
The danger zone seems to be around the 4" mark, at which the majority of EBJDs don't seem to make it to 5".
What are the signs and symptoms? Do they lose their appetite, become listless, eat but get emaciated anyway - what should I look for so at least I have some warning that he's not going to make it?
Any tips appreciated...
hmm, sorry about the pic...the original is brighter and sharper, not sure why it downgraded when uploaded...Last edited by sheamurai; 06-05-2011 at 11:23 PM.

0Mine would start to get anorexic and then a couple of weeks later they'd crap out. They didn't refuse food but didn't eat with their usual gusto. I didn't see signs of parasites like stringy poo, but with the last one when he started going anorexic I tried treating him for parasites but it didn't make a difference. Good luck with your guy, I hope you have better luck than I did.

0I didn't know these fish had a problem with longevity. Never heard that before.
I wonder if worming them before they get ill would make a difference?
0Thanks Labby. Nice to know what to look for.
@Lady Hobbs - The electric blue jacks seem to have a problem - they are inbred to get the blue hybrid variation and as a result, aren't very hardy. Evidently something goes wrong with their digestive system at a certain size/age and they die shortly after. Nothing to do with illness or parasites. Riots nice 7" JD above isn't an electric blue - his looks like my regular Jack Dempsey. In any event, all my fish get a dose of prazipro when I get them, so hopefully that avenue is covered anyway!20gal long planted community

0Regular JD are tough as nails and don't have the problem that the EBJDs do. And EBJD are not hybrids, they are very linebred/inbred to get that coloration, but they are all JD. No other species was crossed in for the coloration.

Today I thought, "oh-oh, here he goes, the beginning of the end."
He was stashed in his cave, and I saw in silhouette that his mouth was all bulgy. I thought he had some weird swelling.
Finally he came out and I was able to look down his gullet - it was bulgy, all right. With one of my otos. He couldn't get it down so its stuck there still, the edge of the tail just outside his mouth, and his face is all extended with this poor thing crammed in there.
First thought was "whewf! He's finally starting to act JD-ish."
Second thought was, "that little turd ate my oto!"
Ya think maybe I should move the remaining otos outta there? Yeah, I think just maybe eh...
just wondering how your EBJD is doing
Found this thread searching for info regarding care for my EBJD and thought I'd check to see how yours is doing.
Mine is about 2 1/4 inches nose to tail. I've had him a little over a month and he's grown just a wee bit. Are they very slow growers? It would seem he's not growing at the same rate as the BP,the sev and the geo.
He won't eat flake food or cichlid pellets but he will eat frozen brine shrimp if he can get to it before the others eat it all. Best luck I've had is with Tetra algae wafers. they are about the size of a nickle. I target drop 2 each day in or near the little piece of real estate that he's claimed and he nibbles on it on and off all day. He backs away when the BPs or the Sev move in to nibble but waits patiently for them to leave and then goes right back at it.
If he ever decides he doesn't like the wafers, he'll be in trouble as he's just not as aggressive toward food as the others.
any other feeding suggestions would be appreciated. I'd sure hate to lose this guy. He's so gorgeous and has such a sweet disposition.

Moisture damage is one of the major problems of asphalt pavements in United States. The moisture damage problem in asphalt has been studied for decades; still it remains an unsolved problem. Traditional macro-scale tests and methods failed to describe how and what factors affect moisture damage because moisture damage in asphalt is related to asphalt chemistry and adhesion characteristics, which are below micron scale phenomena. To this end, asphalt chemistry and adhesion values are studied at nano-scale to understand moisture damage in this study. Nano-scale measurements are conducted using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in the laboratory.
In an AFM test, adhesion forces of dry and wet asphalt samples are measured by probing the sample surface with AFM tips. Nano-scale pull-off force or adhesion between sample molecules and tip molecules are measured. To facilitate the study of asphalt chemistry, AFM tips are modified using chemical functional groups such as carboxyl (-COOH), hydroxyl (-OH), ammin (-NH3) and methyl (-CH3), representing the chemistry of asphalt binder. Thus functionalized tips facilitate the measurement of adhesion within the asphalt binder.
In addition, silicon nitride (Si3N4) tips are used. Silicon nitride resembles aggregate molecules (e.g. silica aggregate) that are used to produce asphalt concrete or pavements. Thus adhesion value measured using a silicon nitride tip can be considered as the adhesion value of asphalt-aggregate interface.
It is shown in this study that the adhesion within the asphalt binder varies depending on the chemistry of asphalt.
AFM testing on asphalt is non-trivial and very challenging as AFM tips stick to the asphalt surface due to the viscous and soft nature of asphalt binder. AFM testing also requires smooth surface of a test sample. This study has developed a methodology for asphalt sample preparation for AFM testing. Simply, pouring asphalt binder on a glass substrate and melting to free flow and then cooling it generates an AFM asphalt sample with a root mean square surface roughness below 10 nm. Such sample surface is smooth enough for AFM testing.
Through trial and error, this study has calibrated a set of AFM testing parameters that are suitable for successful adhesion measurement in asphalt binder. In all cases, a set of AFM samples are tested under dry condition, and a set of identical samples are tested after wet conditioning.
Polymer is almost an essential component of asphalt binders now-a-days. However it is not known whether polymer modification helps reduce moisture damage potential of asphalt. Therefore, both base binder and polymer modified asphalt binder are characterized herein using AFM. Two common polymers Styrene-Butadyne (SB) and Styrene-Butadyne-Styrene (SBS) are used to modify the base asphalt. The goal is to examine whether polymer modification helps reduce moisture damage at nano-scale.
In addition to polymer, a chemical modifier known as Elvaloy is included in this study to examine whether Elvaloy is more effective than polymer in regards to moisture damage. It is shown that both base and modified asphalt binders are vulnerable to moisture damage to some degree. However, base binder is the most susceptible to moisture damage among all the binders. It is evident that the SB polymer modification of asphalt is good for interface adhesion, whereas the SBS polymer modification is good for achieving higher adhesion within the asphalt binder.
Antistripping agents are commonly used to reduce moisture damage potential of an asphalt binder. A number of antistripping agents are available in the market. However, it is not know which antistripping works better than others. To examine, five common antistripping agents such as lime, klingbeta, wetfix, morlife and unichem are considered for AFM testing in this study. It is evident from this study that moisture damage occurs in asphalt binder having an antistripping agent. Hydrated lime provides higher moisture damage resistance to asphalt binders that the liquid antistripping agents such as morlife, unichem, klingbeta, and wetfix. Statistical analysis of the adhesion test results is performed. Based on Pearson's p-value (significance test), it is concluded that the adhesion value measure by an AFM varies with the type and amount of antistripping agent present in an asphalt sample.
Finally, an attempt is made to correlate nano-scale adhesion value of an asphalt binder to macro-scale strength value representing moisture damage. Only polymer modified binders are considered for examining such correlations. Macro-scale indirect tension tests are conducted on wet and dry asphalt concrete samples. A good correlation exists between the macro-scale indirect tensile strength ratio, and nano-scale adhesion ratio of wet and dry samples.

The Italian pope, who reigned from 1963 to 1978, will now be known as 'Venerable'
Pope Benedict XVI has advanced the Cause of Pope Paul VI by recognising the Italian pope as having lived the Christian virtues in a heroic way.
He also recognised a miracle attributed to the intercession of an Italian martyr who, with an estimated 800 other people, died at the hands of Ottoman invaders in the 15th century, and he recognised a miracle attributed to the first Blessed to be born, live and die in Colombia, Blessed Mother Laura Montoya. They can now be declared saints.
The Pope formally recognised the martyrdom of 33 victims of the Spanish Civil War and advanced the Causes of 18 other men and women.
During a meeting today with Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for Saints' Causes, the Pope signed the decree approving the heroic virtues of Pope Paul VI, making him "Venerable". Before Pope Paul can be beatified, the Vatican must recognise that a miracle has occurred through his intercession.
Born Giovanni Battista Montini 1897 in the northern Italian province of Brescia, Pope Paul VI is probably best remembered for seeing the Second Vatican Council through to its end and helping implement its far-reaching reforms.
He is also well remembered as the author of Humanae Vitae, his 1968 encyclical reaffirming Church teaching that artificial birth control is intrinsically wrong, which became a focus of controversy and dissent.
Amid the strains and pressures following Vatican II, he received the nickname the "Hamlet pope" for his reportedly anguished decision-making and his evident suffering over problems of the Church. However, he was also remembered as a strong leader who decisively guided the Church through a time of crisis.
Pope Paul was the first modern pontiff to start visiting local churches around the globe, making nine major trips abroad.
Prior to his election, he spent more than 30 years helping to run the Vatican's diplomatic machinery at the Secretariat of State, but his diplomatic skills never overshadowed his priestly love of serving those in need.
He worked on behalf of prisoners and the politically persecuted during World War Two, pleaded for peace to world leaders, appealed for the lives of condemned terrorists and kidnapped politicians, and donated the papal tiara to raise money for the poor.
He was elected pope in 1963 and died at age 80 in 1978. The Rome diocese officially opened his Cause in 1993.
Pope Benedict recognised miracles attributed to the intercession of three people who, along with 800 companions, can now be declared saints. They are:
Blessed Antonio Primaldo and an estimated 800 other laymen killed by Ottoman soldiers in the southern Italian costal town of Oltranto in 1480.
Blessed Mother Laura Montoya, the first Blessed to be born, live and die in Colombia. Born in 1874, she founded the Missionary Sisters of Immaculate Mary and of St Catherine of Siena, to work among the indigenous peoples of Colombia. She died in 1949 and was beatified in 2004.
Blessed Mother Lupita Garcia Zavala, also known as Mother Maria Guadalupe, the Mexican co-founder of the Congregation of the Servants of St Margaret Mary and the Poor. She lived from 1878 to 1963.
Pope Benedict also signed decrees that pave the way for numerous beatifications:
He recognised the martyrdom of 33 priests, religious and a monk killed between 1936 and 1938 during the Spanish Civil War.
He recognised the martyrdom of Fr Miroslav Bulesic, a Croatian priest killed by Italian partisans in 1947.
The Pope approved nine other decrees recognising men and women for having lived the Christian virtues in a heroic way and declaring them "Venerable". Recognition of a miracle attributed to each candidate's intercession is needed for that person's beatification.

I don't usually cuss - especially on a web site forum... but FUCK Digital Leisure for making it ONLY unlock in GMT time zone!
I waited until 2013 to play this game, and unfortunately... because I didn't start playing it until tonight (started at 10:00 PM, Pacific Time Zone), the damn achievement won't unlock because of the fucking time-zone issue.
How STUPID are the developers, that they HAD to lock it into the GMT time-zone, instead of just reading the date on the user's console? Sure, I can play it "offline" and change the time to earlier in the day (it's still June 19th right now)... but then I don't get the time/date stamp - which is sort of important, considering the achievement description - and TODAY is the 30th anniversary of the game's release.
They can go fuck themselves in the ass... I AM PISSED-OFF!!!

Asthma Initiative Has Impact on Health Care Use
Article ID: 602136
Released: 23-Apr-2013 4:00 PM EDT
Source Newsroom: Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan
Available for logged-in reporters only
American Journal of Public Health
Newswise — ANN ARBOR---Children living in areas where there was wide-ranging and active support for improving outcomes for their chronic asthma were hospitalized less and made fewer visits to the emergency room, when compared with those in other communities.
The need for costly health care services was reduced in six low-income communities that had participated in a special initiative to improve pediatric asthma control, led by faculty and staff at the Center for Managing Chronic Disease at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
A team of researchers, headed by Noreen Clark, the Myron E. Wegman Distinguished University Professor of Public Health and director of the center, examined health care utilization by low-income children ages 2-18, from 2002-06. The team was interested in finding out how the Allies Against Asthma initiative, established in 2002 with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, had an impact on use of hospital in-patient units, emergency rooms and urgent care centers.
"Pediatric asthma is the most prevalent chronic disease of childhood and is exceedingly costly in both direct and indirect expenses to the health care system and families," said Dr. Laurie Lachance, evaluation director of the center. "Our study is the first that we know of to link work of coalitions with significant outcomes for children with asthma community wide."
Nationwide, nearly 20 million people suffer from the condition, and 6 million of them are children and adolescents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The results of the team's research are reported in the April issue of the American Journal of Public Health in an article titled, "Improvements in Health Care Use Associated with Community Coalitions: Long Term Results of the Allies Against Asthma Initiative."
Allies Against Asthma brought together established asthma organizations, health care leaders, health departments, and local community and volunteer organizations to work on policy, care coordination, environmental issues and education. The goals were to improve health status and reduce health care utilization, in children and teens with asthma.
"When a community works together, we can make a real difference in the health of all of our children. This study greatly expands our understanding of the power of using community coalitions to effect change," said Dr. Talmadge King, chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, a member of the Allies Against Asthma advisory board.
The communities with Allies Against Asthma programs included Hampton Roads, VA; Washington, DC; Milwaukee, WI; King County/Seattle, WA; Long Beach, CA; and Philadelphia, PA. The researchers compared Medicaid records from cities with similar populations, both in size and other demographic features, in Roanoke City, VA; Jacksonville, FL; Everett, Lacey, Olympia, and Tacoma, WA; National City and San Bernardino, CA; Baltimore, MD; Lorain, Ohio; Muskegon, Detroit, and Flint, MI; and Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, IN.
"When change is created in systems and policies, long lasting improvements result for the whole community," Clark said. "This study shows that community coalitions are significant engines of such change."
Additional U-M researchers involved were Amy Friedman Milanovich, Shelley C. Stoll, and Margaret Wilkin, all with the SPH Center for Managing Chronic Disease, and Peter X. K. Song, Department of Biostatistics.
