BARS IN HISTORY: We love history. Especially when there's cocktails involved. You take a bunch of old stuff, add a nice Manhattan, Old Fashioned or a martini, and suddenly we're some sort of history perfesser expounding on the glorious past of whatever it is we're talking about.
You want to throw something at our wheelhouse, it's the history of bars in Long Beach, which is what's being thrown at the galleries of the Historical Society of Long Beach, with the opening reception of the "Happy Days Long Beach" bar and lounge exhibition from 6 till 9 p.m. Friday at the HSLB, 4260 Atlantic Ave. in Bixby Knolls (within reeling distance from the old Chandelier Restaurant & Lounge, some of us will recall; or Welch's; or the Tenderloin).
We came up at a time when bars were all the rage in Long Beach. You could throw a swizzle stick from one watering hole to the next.
Without even bothering to go through our files, we can think of the hallowed Press Club and the Turf Club on Pine, the Hollywood on the Pike, the Hung Jury, the Pink Elephant, the Talk of the Town, the Trap, Leilani Hut, the Flite Room, the Honey Bucket, the Green Frog, the Inner Sanctum, the Pandemonium, Little Coalinga, the Kopper Koin, the Chee-Chee Club….
Want more? Go to the exhibit.
Put together by HSLB's Letticia Montoya with Toby Settle and Ashley Franks-McGill, the "Happy Days" exhibit will include a display of more than 30 bar and lounge images, drink menus, coasters, matchbooks and bar-related artifacts from 1897 to 1979.
To make the occasion even more joyous, Roxanne's Lounge, at 1115 E. Wardlow Road, will be pouring vintage cocktails at the opening bash.
Tickets for the Friday night event are $10 in advance; $12 at the door. For tickets, call 562-424-2220.
ON LOCATION: All summer long, from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the stretch of Bay Shore Avenue along Alamitos Bay is closed to traffic during the day. Fine. It's always been that way. We've learned to live with it.
Now, Labor Day has been packed up in the attic, so we should be able to rocket down the bayside avenue at alarming speeds once again. But, wait. What the … ? On Sunday and Monday, the street was closed again, no doubt because of some grisly murder. Why, again, do bad things always happen to us?
Of course, Long Beach being just one giant Hollywood set, the grisly murder would be a bogus one, involving, somehow, our city's favorite series, "Dexter," whose crews have been in town all summer long, and will continue to be around until filming for the next season wraps up in about three weeks.
Also in town over the weekend were crews for the resurrected, critically slobbered-over comedy "Arrested Development." The Pine Avenue Pier south of Ocean was transformed into a "Cinco de Cuatro" street fair for the episode.
Fox dropped the award-winning series in 2006, but Netflix has signed up for 10 new episodes that it will release simultaneously in early 2013 for release on its streaming video service.
FOOTBALL PICKS WEEK 2: Ah, a new season, with all the stupid upsets causing us to come bumbling out of the blocks with an utterly unremarkable record.
What's worse, we were too busy over the weekend to watch any football, so we're going into Week Two as blindly as we went into last week. Not making excuses, mind you. Even throwing beanbags into holes with team names on them we can stay in a race, as long as strange things happen.
The whole thing's online this year, so be sure to check in and make your picks at presstelegram.com.

Look Into the Future: The State of Food & Beverage Industry
The state of the nine categories of the food & beverage industry and what 2010 holds for them.
The food & beverage industry really is a collection of reasonably disparate yet surprisingly interconnected food categories. As distinct as milk may appear, dairy as an ingredient permeates many other categories. While fruits and vegetables may seem synonymous with fresh produce, they're components in many other categories.
While the turn of the calendar page is an arbitrary milepost in the continuum that is time, it does cause people to pause, to reflect on the previous 12 months and to peer into the year ahead. That's what we're doing here.
So, to get a handle on the year ahead for the whole food & beverage industry, we're going to break it down into nine discrete units and look backward and ahead at each. What emerges is a quilt of opportunities but also challenges for everyone in this business of food.
Bakery & Bread: Rise to the occasion
From breakfast bagels to lunchtime sandwiches to dinner rolls, the bread market is weathering the recession quite well. Originally predicted to grow 2.1 percent in 2008, Mintel International's latest figures show the bread market instead grew 7 percent. Even higher growth is expected for 2009 and through 2013.
In 2008, the U.S. bread market reached $20.5 billion, according to Research and Markets. Fresh bread sales that year were $6.6 billion, compared to $545 million for frozen bread/roll/biscuits/pastry dough and $207 million for bread/rolls/bun dough, reports Baking Management. Bread sales in all categories had gains in 2008.
Key new product trends in the bread aisle include whole grains, fiber, added calcium and products designated organic, all-natural or HFCS-free.
Whole grain breads are expected to remain strong, and consumers also are demanding more natural breads with nutritional ingredients, premium breads that feature quality ingredients and artisan breads. Traditional or "ancient" grains, such as amaranth, quinoa, sorghum or spelt, will become more popular, especially for wheat-intolerant consumers, according to Mintel.
"An increasing number of consumers are adopting a 'natural lifestyle' with a focus on health and well being that includes green living, sustainability and natural products," says Stephany Verstraete, vice president of bread marketing at Hostess Brands, Irving, Texas. To that end, Hostess – the new name for Interstate Bakeries Corp. – in the past year introduced what it claims is the only national brand of natural bread, Nature's Pride.
"Increasing the general nutritional content -- from calcium enhancement to fiber and other nutrients -- will continue to show strength as a trend," she continues. "We introduced a reformulation of our Wonder Classic and Wonder Classic Sandwich breads to provide the same amount of calcium as 8 oz. of milk in two slices and a good source of vitamin D."
Last year, some of the nation's largest bread manufacturers introduced products for cholesterol-conscious consumers, hoping they will look to the loaf as a defense against elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad cholesterol. Mexico-based bakery giant Grupo Bimbo's Arnold (the brand name in the northeastern and southeastern U.S.), Brownberry (the name in the Midwest) and Oroweat each launched plant sterol-enriched loaves. Thomas' also added the cholesterol-fighting fortifiers to new English muffin and bagel products. And supermarket chain Kroger recently launched six varieties of proprietary Active Lifestyle breads featuring plant sterols.
The irony is, most consumers say that they won't pay extra for healthful bakery items. But for those who will, whole-grain products top the list – along with other grains such as oats, barley, and sorghum -- or specialty products deemed "worth the extra cost." Bakery consumers also say they want products that are locally produced, healthful, all natural and organic — but only if they don't have to pay a premium.
Gluten-free continues to grow in the in-store bakery. An April 2009 Packaged Facts report estimated the size of gluten-free market at $1.56 billion with a compound annual growth rate of 28 percent from 2004 to 2008. These products are sought not only by those with medical conditions requiring a lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet but also by consumers who believe that a gluten-free diet is more healthful.
When volatile commodity prices affected bakery prices, 61 percent of consumers switched to store brand breads and bakery items, according to What's in Store 2010, the annual trends report from the Madison, Wis.-based International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association (IDDBA).

Bluffton High sophomore Johnnie Gaston placed third in the 400-meter hurdles this past weekend at the SCHSL Class AAA state track and field meet in Columbia.
Gaston posted a time of 1 minute, 9.88 seconds as the Bluffton girls' only state representative. Her six team points were enough to give Bluffton a 23rd-place finish in the meet.
The Bluffton boys finished in a tie for 26th.
Senior DeVaughn Frazier placed seventh in the triple jump with an attempt of 41 feet, 9.5 inches. Junior Demetrius Smalls finished seventh in the 800 meters with a time of 2 minutes, 0.87 seconds.
The 4x400-meter relay team of Frazier, Smalls, senior Muhammad Adbul-Malik and junior Michael Spence finished sixth with a time of 3 minutes, 24.30 seconds.
The Bluffton High girls soccer team's playoff run was halted by Brookland-Cayce in a 7-0 defeat last week in the SCHSL Class AAA quarterfinals.
Fourth-ranked Brookland-Cayce, which has outscored its first three playoff opponents 29-0, advanced to face Hilton Head Island in the Lower State final on Monday.
The Bobcats finished with a 12-12 record, beating Airport and North Myrtle Beach by 1-0 scores in the first two rounds of the state tournament.

|Behavioral: EHMI Behavioral: Nurse Educator + EHMI
|Not Applicable
Medication therapy management (MTM) has been described as a set of procedures that include: medication review, assembly of a personal medication record, development of action plans, intervention when necessary, and follow-up. However, evidence showing the effectiveness of general MTM interventions is scant. MTM has often been performed separately from patients' usual sources of care (i.e., at pharmacies). This could limit its effectiveness since medication-related concerns would be discussed by clinicians who are not aware of the regimen intended by patients' prescribers. Cost is another barrier to widespread use of MTM.
Health information technology in primary care could be leveraged to assist with MTM tasks. The investigators have field tested low literacy MTM tools embedded within an EHR to 1) activate patients to review medications, 2) automate the provision of plain language, medication information, and 3) provide print tools to help patients engage providers, and consolidate their regime. These tools were developed with patient, physician, and pharmacist feedback.
For this study, the investigators combine tools to address the range of MTM tasks. In aggregate, the study refers to this as an Electronic health record-based Health literacy Medication therapy management Intervention, or 'EHMI'. The investigators will evaluate the effects of this approach among patients with uncontrolled hypertension treated in federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). This may be a relatively low-cost strategy ideal for safety net practices that use EHRs and whose patients may be at greater risk for limited literacy. It is also possible that the EHMI strategy may not result in a significant change. Therefore, the investigators will also evaluate using a nurse educator to help patients utilize EHMI tools, provide brief counseling, and track progress.
This three-arm, clinic-randomized, controlled trial conducted within a network of FQHCs will evaluate the EHMI and EHMI + Nurse Educator interventions compared to usual care. Recruited patients will be followed for 12 months. The investigators will test the impact of these two strategies on blood pressure levels, with an anticipated power to detect a 4 mm Hg difference in systolic blood pressure as the primary outcome. The investigators will also assess the impact on diastolic blood pressure, as well as HbA1c and LDL cholesterol control in the subgroup with diabetes. The investigators will determine the interventions' effects on: 1) medication understanding, 2) discrepancies, and 3) adherence. The investigators will specifically examine intervention effects among groups with different literacy levels. The investigators will also assess the fidelity and cost of the interventions to guide future dissemination efforts.

Experimental: EHMI
Electronic Health Record-based Health Literacy Medication Therapy Management Intervention (EHMI)arm consists of multiple components, all leveraged by the Epic EHR platform (Verona, WI). The EHMI intervention 1) activates patients to review their medication list and identify any adherence-related concerns, 2) automates a process for providing plain language, patient-centered print medication information for new and refilled prescriptions, and 3) provides additional print tools to help patients more effectively engage their providers, consolidate their regimen, and generally promote safe use and adherence.

|Experimental: Nurse Educator + EHMI
Behavioral: Nurse Educator + EHMI
This intervention is a combination of the use of a nurse educator and the EHMI tools described in the EHMI intervention arm. A nurse educator perform the following: 1) perform medication and medical record review 2)assess adherence and medication problems 3) provide counseling to promote safe and effective medication use 4) follow-up with patients after their visit to confirm they have filled all prescriptions, and can accurately teach back their medicine regimen, 5) communicate with prescribing physician when problems are identified.
- Systolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: one year ]The primary outcome is the systolic blood pressure measured approximately one year after the baseline interview is conducted.
- Effectiveness of the Electronic Health Record-based Health Literacy Medication Therapy management strategy (EHMI), with and without a nurse educator, compared to standard care. [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months ]This will be assessed by measuring patient medication understanding, medication reconciliation, adherence, and health outcomes (diastolic blood pressure, and among the diabetic subgroup Hemoglobin A1c <8.0 and LDL Cholesterol <100).
- Effects of these strategies by patients' literacy skills [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months,12 months ]We will measure how the effects of the interventions vary based on the participants' literacy levels.

I have excerpted here something interesting from Nate Hill on the WPLA blog [http://plablog.org/2008/11/library-pictograms-from-sweden.html] about pictograms for libraries from Sweden where there is a "…national development and standardization project aimed at making public symbols more uniform and more serviceable in keeping with the concept of Design for All."
"…Creating visual standards is analogous to creating a controlled vocabulary. Can one create a global, visual, controlled vocabulary? It has been attempted before; it was part of Otto Neurath's 'isotype' vision at the Bauhaus. Arguable, progenitors of the field of infographics like Ladislav Sutnar were striving for the same kind of thing. Will librarians work with graphic designers to make these decisions? How will visual literacies determine the structure of information and information retrieval in the coming century?…"

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
Due to the popularity of the conspiracy theory, official agencies have received thousands of complaints from people who have demanded an explanation.
Consider also that "evil" people are generally those who are out for their own interests over that of the community as a whole. Which seems to make it far LESS likely they will work for an organisation that places highest value on following the dictates of the hidden and nefarious few at the top.And how do you get IN to one of these organisations, anyway? Do you start at the DVLA, and (once demonstrating your disregard for humanity) get recruited into the conspiracy? Or do they recruit directly from the demonstrably evil and anti-social, who are of course the most stable and reliable of workers?

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The Atlantic sharpnose shark (Rhizoprionodon terraenovae) is common species of requiem shark (family Carcharhinidae) usually inhabiting warm temperate to tropical waters to about 32 feet (10 m) in depth. They are year round residents in the Gulf of Mexico and north to South Carolina, but are found along the northwest Atlantic from the Yucatan peninsula to the Bay of Fundy and along the coast of Brazil. In the winter they migrate offshore to deeper waters, and have been recorded to depths of 980 feet (230m).
The Atlantic sharpnose is small in size compared to other requiem sharks, reaching a maximum length of about 3.5 feet (1.1 m). They have two dorsal fins, the second just above their anal fin. Adults are various shades of grey with white splotches and stripes of white behind pectoral fins. Juveniles have striking black tips on their dorsal fins and tail. They prey on small fish, worms, crustaceans and molluscs. They are abundant, and one of the most commonly caught coastal shark species, target by shark fisheries and sold for human consumption, and also caught as bycatch in shrimp nets. While they come into frequent contact with humans and shark bites have been reported, most bites are not serious. Because they are abundant, mature at an early age, and reasonably fecund, giving birth to 4-7 live pups per year, their conservation status is classified by the IUCN as of Least Concern.
Rhizoprionodon terraenovae is known by a multitude of common names. Its names Atlantic are sharpnose shark, Newfoundland shark, sharp-nosed shark, and white shark. Other names include Atlantische scherpsnuithaai (Dutch), bicudo (Portuguese), cação-alecrim (Portuguese), cação-de-bico-doce (Portuguese), cação-fidalgo (Portuguese), cazón (Spanish), cazón chino (Spanish), cazón de ley (Spanish), cazón picudo atlántico (Spanish), chien de mer (French), cucuri (Portuguese), cuur (Wolof), frango (Portuguese), requin à nez pointu (French), requin aiguille gussi (French), squalo di terranuova (Italian), tollito (Spanish), tollo hocicón (Spanish), and tubarao-terranova (Portuguese).

MINNIE (A Harry Styles Fanfiction)
- by Curly'sWife94

- Published: 19 Jul 2013
- Updated: 6 Sep 2013
- Status: Complete
Harry Styles doesn't know that I had his baby. All this time I've been okay with keeping it that way. I figure it would only ruin his career if I ran into his life with a kid, so I just kinda keep the whole thing to myself. I mean, I think I've done a pretty good job in the past year. But honestly, I don't want Minnie growing up without a dad. I did, and I hated it. Maybe the time has come to finally tell Harry that he has a baby girl.

Which Young Star Is in a Catty Rivalry for Boys?
This tween star is always fighting with another tween star over boys. This actress has been in a string of abusive relationships and this is the worst yet, and this musician's career is being ruined by booze and drugs. Now that would be a first.
1. "This could turn out to be a tweener catfight. You know even , when you are a tweener, there are apparently jealousies and lots and lots of sexual backstabbing. So, this former A list female tweener (No Love) has not said two words directly to this also former A list female tweener (Not So Innocent) despite having to sometimes work together. It all goes back to when they both were on the same network. No Love used to hate how goody goody Not So Innocent was or at least pretended to be. Turns out that Not So Innocent was the queen of the quickie when it came to oral and No Love felt like Not So Innocent should have the horrible reputation. So, whenever Not So Innocent liked some guy, that is who No Love went after. It is how she ended up with her long term relationship which just ended. Of course No Love ended up looking trashy during that too which killed her because she waited forever before she even had sex with the boyfriend while Not So Innocent was with anyone and everyone. If not for the fact one of these tweeners is not a fan of women, she would have probably had the whole family. Not So Innocent's current boyfriend was deciding between No Love and Not So Innocent at one point, but No Love, as much as she hates Not So Innocent, could not stop laughing everytime this current A list tweener opened his mouth to speak. So, he made his second choice. Well, actually third, because his second choice ended up in rehab after they had sex." [CDaN]
2. "We've written about this B/C list young actress before, and she's no stranger to strange relationships and abuse. However, we hear that her current relationship with an older man is extremely abusive and if she doesn't get help, she might not survive this one. Unfortunately, she has little to no resources or a good support system. We sincerely hope it isn't true!" [BuzzFoto]
3. "He used be a genuinely nice guy. Serious about his music, surrounded by people who cared about him, kind to his fans, grateful for his good fortune. Then he surrounded himself with an entourage of users and hangers-on and everything changed. The members of this entourage are very versatile. His drummer is also his drug dealer. His bodyguard parties with him and engages in Twitter wars for him. The models double as escorts. The rest of the party crowd uses his name to hawk their wares, everything from jewelry to drugs. He doesn't mind. It makes him feel popular. Then there's the slimy actor pal who has quite the impressive track record of ruining young lives (and is about to add one more to the list).
Thanks to his choice of friends, the formerly wholesome singer started doing drugs last year… and hasn't stopped since. He now drinks every day and parties every night. The party usually starts around 4 PM, the shots of Patron start at 8 PM, and then it's constant drinking and smoking cigars and drugs until 4 or 5 or 6 AM, even when he's scheduled to work the next day. As he gets more and more loaded throughout the night, he likes to rail about how much he hates his life, how much he hates his family, and about how he's the one who really deserves the success one of his band mates is now experiencing.
He's going downhill fast. He's been blowing off writing sessions and missing rehearsals. The rest of his group (who genuinely do care about him) make excuses for him and reschedule rehearsals again and again. He doesn't seem to care about anything except the alcohol and the dr*gs and being the king of his party entourage. He even ditched a charity event last week because he decided that he would rather go party in Miami. He has nothing but contempt for his fans (he makes fun of them and tells them to "get a life"). And all that smoking has completely ruined his voice. Yes, he used to be a genuinely nice guy. Now he's just an ungrateful, jealous, bitter alcoholic with a smoke-ruined voice, surrounded by users and losers, hating his fans, hating his life. We know you're reading this. Get help, dude." [Blind Gossip]

SOUTH LEBANON, OH (FOX19) - The community is mourning the loss of a 12-year-old girl who died during an 86-car pileup on Interstate 275 on Monday.
Sammy was a sixth grader at Columbia Elementary.
Counselors and psychologists were on hand at the school all day on Tuesday talking to students and staff. The staff was gathered and notified early in the morning and prepped to handle questions from the students.
The rest of the school learned the tragic news from the principal over the morning announcements.
Some bystanders tried to save Sammy's life, including Aaron Foster, who missed the pileup by mere seconds.
"Everything was clear and then over the course of 30 seconds it was a white out, the roads were slick, people started sliding around," said Foster.
Foster was on his way to visit his parents in Ross when the pileup started. He initially stopped to assist two women who were stuck in their vehicle.
"As soon as it came it was gone," Foster said of the snow.
What the burst of snow left behind were 86 vehicles and a group of strangers trying to save a 12-year-old's life.
"Out of the corner of my eye I saw what I thought was a piece of a car that flew through the median, and I ran up, and it was a little girl."
Foster quickly covered her with his jacket, and waited for the assistance of an off-duty firefighter and a nurse.
"We turned her over, he breathed for her and I did compressions and the nurse got on the phone with 911 and we just waited for somebody to come."
Foster said it felt like 20 minutes until emergency crews could reach them. Just cars behind, Sammy Reagan's mother was also at the scene.
"I can't imagine going through that," Foster added. "As shocked as I was with the circumstances, I can't imagine being a parent and going through that."
Now the Kings community is grieving together, remembering the bright personality of a daughter, twin, and big sister.
"The first thing they talk about was her smile," said Valerie Brown, superintendent of Kings Local Schools. "And it was a contagious smile. She somebody who everybody liked to be around."
"She was definitely a very vivacious little girl," added Julie Cabral. "And she touched other students in a very positive way."
Now those students want to help the Reagan family cope with the loss of Sammy.
"Some are writing letters to the family," Cabral said. "One counselor suggested making a paper chain with memories or different things about Sammy that they wanted to pass along to the family."
Cabral added that the best way for everyone in the Kings community, or who was involved in Monday's accident, to cope is to talk about it with family and friends.
A visitation for Sammy Reagan will be held on Thursday at Rivers Crossing Community Church, located at 5937 Kings Island Drive, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Her funeral is at Hope Church, 4934 Western Row Road in MAson on Friday, Jan. 25 at 3:30 p.m.

Tessie Blanchard has accomplished a lot in 18 years.
Tessie Blanchard has accomplished a lot in 18 years.
The Houma teenager has been dancing for most of her life. The Terrebonne High School senior performs on the dance team and color guard, and plays contra-bass clarinet in the school's band.
Just last month, she made District Honor Band for the seventh year in a row.
Through it all Tessie maintains a 3.9 GPA and has almost completed a year of college credits while still in high school.
Balancing school, fun and family isn't easy, but the 18-year-old learned a long time ago not to let anything slow her down — even in the face of challenges.
Tessie was diagnosed with a hearing disability in preschool. Her doctors believe the issue is genetic.
Hearing the news was tough for Tessie's mother, Tammy Blanchard.
"I was in denial," the 43-year-old mother said. "She heard us perfectly fine."
But after seeing a string of doctors and professionals, Tessie's diagnosis was clear.
Since it is difficult for children to understand using hearing aids, Tessie went without them until the fourth grade. The new additions took some getting used to.
"It was different," she said. "I could hear so many sounds that I wasn't used to."
The change in hearing wasn't the only thing that made Tessie uncomfortable. She worried what her friends and classmates would think of the clear plastic bands hanging over her ears.
"The first year I got them, I was like 'I'm never wearing my hair up again,' " she said.
But as the years went by, Tessie got more comfortable with her electronic companions. Last year, she even took to decorating them and adding earring-like accessories to the earpieces.
"Some of her doctors were amazed at her creativity," Tessie's father, Dantre Blanchard, said. "They had never seen anything like it."
Tammy said she and her husband taught Tessie early on not to use her hearing as an excuse.
"I told her that having a disability did not give her the right to settle for less," she said. "She had everything she needed to succeed."
Doctors predict that Tessie will eventually become completely deaf. While the idea scares her, she said she knows she can overcome it.
After all, she's worked hard to accomplish everything she ever wanted despite her disability.
In band, she's learned to play a larger instrument so that she can hear herself. In class, she reads teachers' lips and asks questions about words she may have missed.
The 18-year-old plans to attend Nicholls State University in the fall. She hopes to one day become an audiologist.
"I love helping people," she said. "I've talked to a few people with hearing problems and I like being able to help them however I can."
While her parents are proud of her achievements, Tammy says she knows the best is yet to come.
"I'm very proud of her," she said. "I did not want her disability to stop her from doing anything, and she's really proven that she can fight."

Queensland Premier Campbell Newman has accused the opposition of mocking Arts Minister Ros Bates for fracturing her back.
Ms Bates, whose son's plum job in the transport department has sparked claims of nepotism, seriously hurt her back falling down stairs at her home last week.
"She ripped muscle off the spine, she's damaged two to three vertebra, she's in hospital," Mr Newman told ABC Radio.
"The opposition should show her a bit of compassion."
Ms Bates had only just returned to work from sick leave following shoulder surgery when she had the fall.
Mr Newman said the opposition had been ridiculing and mocking Ms Bates by asking about her wellbeing in parliament and wishing her well on Twitter.
He said a comment on Twitter last week by shadow treasurer Curtis Pitt was particularly disgraceful.
"Here's hoping Minister Bates makes a speedy recovery. It'd be terrible if she missed the last sitting of parliament for the year," Mr Pitt tweeted.
Mr Newman said the comment was inappropriate and unfair.
"It was essentially mocking or ridiculing her accident," he told ABC Radio.
But Mr Pitt accused the premier of pedalling misinformation about comments he'd made about Ms Bates on social media.
He said he'd spoken to Ms Bates upon her brief return to parliament last week.
"I had a brief conversation with Ms Bates and she acknowledged and appreciated my comments in the house," Mr Pitt said.
"I think people will agree with me that the premier has either misinterpreted these posts or is himself deliberately seeking to make political mileage out of Ms Bates's position."

U.S. 'hikers' in Iran are released
Shane Bauer, Josh Fattal and Sarah Shourd, U.S. hikers who were held in Iran on charges of espionage, wave before boarding a flight back home in Muscat on Sept. 24. The three hikers were arrested by Iranian forces in July 2009 near the unmarked border with Kurdistan, a semi-autonomous region of northern Iraq, on suspicion of spying after crossing into Iran from Iraq. Bauer's fiance Sarah Shourd was released in Sept. 2010 after 410 days in solitary confinement.

UPDATING: Interesting final day of the draft so far for the Eagles, with two picks that resonate more than fourth-rounders normally would.
After making a trade, the Eagles began Day 3 by selecting linebacker Casey Matthews, from Oregon, with the 116th pick overall.
Matthews, 6-1, 231, is the younger brother of Packers linebacker Clay Matthews. Big brother greeted the selection with a Tweet that simply said, "EAGLES!!!!!!"
Casey is expected to play weakside linebacker for the Eagles, or could be a candidate to play in the middle. He said he played a MIKE role at Oregon.
Casey told reporters after his selection that he wants to be his own man and no longer be known as Clay's little brother. He said he sees himself as more instinctive but less explosive than his brother.
Matthews, whose father and uncle also played in the NFL, was first-team all-Pac-10 and led the Ducks in tackles at 79. He tied for third in the league in fumble recoveries (3), was third on the team with three interceptions and fourth in tackles for loss with 9.0.
The Eagles then became the first team in this draft to select a kicker, choosing Nebraska's Alex Henery at No. 120, in what seems like an obvious message to veteran David Akers, whose contract is up. The Eagles used the transition tag on Akers, but he declined to sign the tender, and no one knows if there will be a transition tag in whatever system emerges after the lockout.
You don't use a fourth-rounder on a kicker and then not have him make your roster. However, the new kickoff rules could make a guy who can automatically drill touchbacks from the 35 a higher priority; it's not unheard of to carry two kickers, as the Eagles did with Akers and Norm Johnson in Akers' rookie year of 1999.
Henery made 18 of 19 field goal attempts (8-for-8 from 40-49 and 2-for-3 from 50+), all 54 extra points this past season and was a finalist for the Groza Award. The one miss was blocked.
Henery, an Omaha native, also punted for the Cornhuskers, but he was chosen in this spot as a kicker. Eagles punter Sav Rocca is also unsigned.
Henery told reporters that he expected the Eagles would use him as a placekicker and for kickoffs.
The Eagles last drafted a kicker in 1984, when they tabbed both Manny Matsakis and Paul McFadden.
Also, second-round Temple safety Jaiquawn Jarrett (see photo!) came to NovaCare to meet with the media and reiterate how thrilled he is to continue his pro career in the stadium where he played in college.
"This is like a dream come true," he said. "I've been playing here in Philadelphia for the past four years. This is a great coaching staff that Coach Andy Reid has, and they love me, and I love being here. So I can't wait to get out there and practice."
Asked whether he thought he could earn a starting spot as a rookie, he said, ""I'm always going to keep my mind open coming in here to compete for a spot and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to come in here with confidence but not cocky, not arrogant, and I'm going to come in here and be a great team player."
EARLIER: The Eagles would have collected on the second half of their return from Washington for Donovan McNabb with their first scheduled pick of the day today, a fourth-rounder at No. 104, but they traded the pick to Tampa Bay.
The Eagles will now get Tampa Bay's fourth-rounder this year, No. 116 overall and a fourth-rounder next year. Tampa Bay selected tight end Luke Stocker from Tennessee.
The Eagles selected Nate Allen from South Florida last year in Round 2 with the 37th overall pick. Allen got off to a good start and was named the NFC Rookie of the Month for September after recording 19 tackles and two interceptions in his first three games.
His season ended in December against the Giants with a torn pattelar tendon.
The other pick could have jumped to a third-rounder, but McNabb and the Redskins did not meet either of the potential criteria: McNabb being chosen to the Pro Bowl or McNabb being present for 70 percent of the snaps on a Redskins team that won nine games.
No. 104 begins a busy day for the Eagles that includes eight selections.
Here are their picks -- although expect some trading are:
Fourth round: 104 and 120
Fifth round: 149 and 153
Sixth round: 191
Seventh round: 227, 237 and 240 (last two are compensatory and cannot be traded)

Naked Planet Jewelry is designed to balance the body using the healing properties of gemstones and crystals. For thousands of years, ancient civilizations have utilized the power of crystals to release mental, physical and spiritual blockages, thus facilitating the free flow of prana (energy) throughout the body. On a cellular level, our bodies and gemstones are both made up of mineral silicon-dioxide. Therefore,we are naturally receptive to the vibrations of crystals as they transmit, reflect, store light and receive energy. When crystals are placed directly on your body, they have a powerful vibratory effect that surges from the crystal to you. Each gemstone energy serves as a tool to help heal, protect and reduce stress in our mind, body and spirit.
A Japa mala or mala in (Sanskrit:माला) mālā, means garland. It is a set of beads commonly used by Hindus and Buddhists. Malas are used for keeping count while meditating, reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name of a deity. This practice is known in Sanskrit as japa. Malas are used to support Dharana (Sanskrit: धारणा) means concentration, introspective focus and one-pointedness of mind, it is the six limb of Patanjali's 8 limb path of yoga. Dhyana (Sanskrit: ध्यान) literally means "contemplation, reflection" and "profound, abstract meditation". Dhyana is contemplating, reflecting on whatever Dharana has focussed on. Malas are typically made with 18, 27, 54 or 108 beads. My mala beads are finished with a tassel, or two hanging beads or bracelet style with the guru bead finished sideways for ease to wear as a bracelet.
I mindfully hand knotted all my mala necklaces reciting a mantra as a blessing to increase their vibration. They are cleansed with Palo Santo which is a sacred wood related to Frankincense and Myrrh. Palo Santo purifies, cleanses and banishes misfortune and evil spirits, therefore. It is considered a "holy wood" and a sacred wood of prayer.
I pride my work with attention to detail, color, design and craftsmanship. My Malas are cleansed with Palo Santo then carefully wrapped in paper and a muslin pouch. A card with the metaphysical meanings of each stone is included along with instructions on how to meditate and take proper care of your mala as well as a special mantra card.
I do all my own wire wrapping using sterling silver, or 14K gold filled.

People can (and do) make mistakes when getting life insurance.
People can (and do) make mistakes when getting life insurance.
To help ensure that you are making the right investment for your family's future, here are two common mistakes to avoid when buying life insurance:
Mistake 1: Thinking life insurance is a one-and-done purchase
As your journey through life evolves, you may experience life events that cause gaps in your coverage.
Many people fail to evaluate the effects of these changes on their life insurance needs.
For instance, a policy you purchased 10 years ago to protect your family might have been the best solution at the time.
However, in the past 10 years, you purchased a home, had a second child and became the sole breadwinner for your family.
If you do not review your life insurance needs, you may be leaving your family vulnerable.
Solution: Get periodic insurance reviews.
Going through a periodic insurance review with an insurance professional will uncover any changes in your insurance needs, and allow you to be confident that you are prepared no matter which road life's journey takes you down.
You should get an insurance review every three to five years, or whenever you have a "life-changing event" such as birth, death, marriage, divorce, a new mortgage or retirement.
Mistake 2: Not getting your actual life insurance policy reviewed
As life expectancy has increased, the cost of life insurance has decreased. Policies with premiums based on mortality tables from 1982 or before will be more expensive than policies with premiums based on the more recent 2001 mortality tables.
By getting your existing insurance policy reviewed, you could uncover opportunities to save money on premiums.
Insurance policy reviews can also uncover:
Policies that are not performing because they were based on interest rates that are unreasonable in today's economic environment; Term policies that are nearing the end of their term with premiums that will increase substantially.
Solution: Have your policy reviewed periodically.
Having your insurance policy reviewed will give you an understanding of how your policy is performing.
You might find out:
Your current policy is performing as intended; You can maintain the same level of insurance coverage with reduced premiums; You can increase your insurance coverage for the same premium payments; Your current policy is not performing as intended — and how you might address this.
By having periodic reviews of your life insurance needs, as well as your current policies, you will ensure your family is protected and prepared.

Saints' Sproles suffers concussion
New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles left Sunday's game against the New York Jets with a concussion.
Sproles headed to the locker room early in the first quarter, and the Saints announced he was out for the rest of the game shortly before halftime.
It was unclear when the injury occurred, but Sproles had a 2-yard catch and was hit hard by Antonio Allen before leaving.
The versatile Sproles came into the game with 36 receptions, tying him with Kansas City's Jamaal Charles for the second-most among NFL running backs, four behind San Diego's Danny Woodhead.
New York also lost a key player on offense when wide receiver Jeremy Kerley was knocked out of the game with an elbow injury in the second quarter.
Kerley, the team's leading receiver, appeared to be hurt when he was on the ground after a running play. New Orleans' David Hawthorne hit Kerley's left arm, which rolled awkwardly under the linebacker's shoulder. Kerley immediately grabbed at his arm, was checked by trainers on the sideline and then headed to the locker room.
Jets safety Antonio Allen left in the third quarter with a possible head injury, and linebacker Garrett McIntyre was questionable to return with a knee injury.
