Calif. Democrats Actually Want to Force All Gun Owners to Buy Liability Insurance
(TheBlaze/AP) — Democratic lawmakers proposed legislation Tuesday that would require California gun owners to buy liability insurance to cover damages or injuries caused by their weapons.
Similar bills have been introduced in other states following the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. They include Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New York.
"I was moved, like many others, being the father of two young children, by the Sandy Hook incident and looking for constructive ways to manage gun violence here in California as well as the rest of the country," said Assemblyman Philip Ting of San Francisco, who introduced AB231 along with Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez of Los Angeles. "There's basically a cost that is born by the taxpayers when accidents occur. … I don't think that taxpayers should be footing those bills."
Ting equated the idea to requiring vehicle owners to buy auto insurance. Gomez argued it would encourage gun owners to take firearms safety classes and keep their guns locked up to get lower insurance rates.
No state has enacted the requirement despite repeated previous attempts, said Jon Griffin, a policy analyst with the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Bills have been offered unsuccessfully in Massachusetts and New York since at least 2003, when the conference began keeping track, he said. Similar bills were proposed in Illinois in 2009 and in Pennsylvania last year. Lawmakers are introducing the bills this year in even more states after the recent shootings.
Some proposals would require buyers to show proof of insurance before they could purchase a weapon. The proposal in California would apply to anyone owning a weapon, Ting said, though the bill's details are still being worked out.
Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California, said most gun owners already act responsibly and can be sued for damages if they don't.
He said the proposal is part of an ongoing attempt to "price gun owners out of existence," particularly the law-abiding poor who live in crime-ridden areas and need protection the most. Criminals would ignore the law, he said.
Moreover, he questioned whether it is constitutional to require someone to buy insurance to exercise a constitutional right.
"If they don't address it in committee, I'll guarantee they'll have to address it in court," Paredes said.
Ting said he and Gomez plan to work with gun owners and opponents to craft a constitutional bill. It will not require insurance companies to offer gun insurance, but will encourage them to enter the market.
He noted that the National Rifle Association itself already offers its members the chance to buy liability insurance, despite its opposition to requiring gun owners to buy such policies.
Ting also introduced AB232, which would give a state income-tax credit of up to $1,000 to anyone who turns in a firearm to a local gun buyback program. The amount of the credit would be determined based on the value of the weapon.
Other cities, like Chicago, have proposed a so-called "bullet tax" seeking to increase the cost of ammunition.
Editor's note: California State Assemblyman Rocky Chávez is not a supporter of the gun control bill referenced in this story.

Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:27pmWonder if they have to pay higher premiums if they are petty criminals or if they have to pay the same rates as the blood-thirsty gun blazing killers?

Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:39pmNo wonder California is failing so hard. Common sense has been forced out.
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:53pmHow about making the criminal buy insurance to pay back his victims…If a criminal get shot, the state should pay the money saved in court and prison cost to the the shooter as a reward!
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:55pmWould you be eligible for a rebate if you shot/killed a fugitive on a 'most-wanted' list ?
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:57pmA better idea would be to give California back to Mexico..then they could force the Hezbollah Drug Cartels to pay those liability premiums..Problem Solved (:
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 10:22pmWe could just force them into giving us subsidies and spread that wealth around !!!!!!
How would you like to be able to buy 10 firearem with the amount of government subsidies (Money), you will be getting, thats a great idea they have "Forcing All Gun Owners to Buy Liability Insurance". I could always use the extra cash………

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 4:23amThey will probably pass these gun laws now. In California we have a DemoRat super majority. They can pass anything they want even if all the Repub's vote no.
Posted on February 6, 2013 at 7:31amAs soon as all democrats over 18 voluntarily sterlize themselves we'll think about it.
Posted on February 6, 2013 at 8:14amOnly in the deluded mind of a leftist is mandatory insurance considered a reasonable concept one should consider in order to exercise ones constitutional rights. Their glaring ignorance of the constitution is appalling.

Posted on February 6, 2013 at 9:04amRequiring insurance seems like it might infringe on my rights. Hopefully I can get a discount if I bundle my freedom of speech insurance with my right to bare arms insurance.
Posted on February 6, 2013 at 10:05amWatch the left hand on this one. If you buy GUN LIABILITY insurance, you just entered a NATIONAL GUN REGUSTRY. National gun registries lead to NATIONAL GUN CONFISCATION. Look at history, it proves this point well.

Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:26pmSo the Mexican cartel leaders in Californification want law abiding citizens to be forced to buy insurance. What a joke. Their people drive everywhere with no drivers, no insurance and kill more people with their cars and weapons than all the legal gun owners in the entire country combined.

Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:17pmFirst things first. First amendment comes before second amendment. Accordingly, they should first require all media organizations to purchase liablity insurance for libel actions.

Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:30pmI like that idea, if a gun owner has to buy liability insurance, then why shouldn't the media?
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 10:48pmIf you think about it, 0bamacare forces us to buy insurance to exercise the first thing that our founding fathers put on the list of inalienable rights, the right to life. With 0bmamcare, if you want to live in the country, you have to buy insurance. These fools infringing on another right by forcing another insurance policy isn't all that far fetched, and sadly we have a treasonous supreme court that will go along with it.
Will the last one to leave the United States of America please take the flag and turn off the lights.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Progressives are a virus, a plague.
Democrats are Godless.
MSNBC=Hell's webcam.
0bama=Enemy of America.
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:12pmWhat sense does it make to impose taxes, even through the idea of liability insurance, on law abiding citizens who don't go out and commit crimes? I guarantee criminals will not bother to pay for the insurance…so in the end, the law abiding citizens of this country will be forced to foot the bill for the criminals. It makes no sense at all! Glad I live in a state where we aren't demonizing law abiding citizens for wanting to keep their Second Amendment right.

Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:28pmThis bill is just another way of trying to make gun ownership cost prohibitive; they are trying to work around the 2nd Amendment by saying something like "We're not making guns illegal, were just trying to make gun owners more responsible."
You are lucky if you live in a state that doesn't pull this kind of garbage, wish I could afford to move out of the Fascist State of California.
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:55pmThey have introduced this bill in Connecticut also! It's not goiung over too wellwith the populace fortuneatly
Posted on February 5, 2013 at 9:12pm"I don't think that taxpayers should be footing those bills."
Are we all in this together or not? So "taxpayers" will be exempt from this absurdity?
More americans die from accidental falls than homicide with a firearm. Fact. I propose a new tax on anyone and everyone that walks!! Except for "taxpayers" of course. LMBO at this tripe.

Posted on February 5, 2013 at 8:51pmYes, this is economic warfare to make it too expensive to own and use firearms.
Mandates to force citizens to use lead free ammo already exist which happened to have the effect of driving ammo up to $1 per bullet or more.

Posted on February 5, 2013 at 8:50pmI heard that the Democrats were going to try to have laws enacted which would make gun manufacturers held liable for the injuries that their guns caused when used by criminals. Sound like 1984 ? Sound like Big Brother ? Sound like " using the law to change the law ?" Sound like a giant over-reach and further assault on individual rights and on capitalism ?

Paul the octopus who predicted the World Cup result has deserted his German hosts and gone back to his English roots.
Paul has been appointed an ambassador for England's bid for the World Cup in 2018.
He became famous by predicting world cup results, especially the Spain-Netherlands final from his aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany.
But Paul is actually an English native.
He was born at Weymouth Sea Life Center on England's south coast in 2008.
"Paul the Octopus is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in football," former England winger John Barnes said. "Huge numbers of people will follow Paul's lead and back the bid."
Paul has many imitators, the latest a saltwater crocodile named Dirty Harry, who predicted Spain's World Cup final win.
This week Dirty Harry predicted the Labor Party would win Australia's election.

Miracle on Ice

The "Miracle on Ice" is the name in American popular culture for a medal-round men's ice hockey game during the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York, on Friday, February 22. The United States team, made up of amateur and collegiate players and led by coach Herb Brooks, defeated the Soviet team, who had won nearly every world championship and Olympic tournament since 1954.
Team USA went on to win the gold medal by winning its last match over Finland. The Soviet Union took the silver medal by beating Sweden in its final game. In 1999, Sports Illustrated named the "Miracle on Ice" the Top Sports Moment of the 20th Century.[1] As part of its 100th anniversary celebrations in 2008, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) chose the "Miracle on Ice" as the century's number-one international ice hockey story.[2]
Contents |
History [edit]
The Soviet and American teams [edit]
The Soviet Union entered the Lake Placid games as the heavy favorite, having won the previous four ice hockey gold medals dating back to the 1964 games. In the four Olympics following their 1960 upset by Team USA at Squaw Valley, Soviet teams had gone 27–1–1 (wins-losses-ties) and outscored the opposition 175–44.[3] In head-to-head match-ups against the United States, the cumulative score over that period was 28-7.[4] The Soviet players, some of whom were active-duty military,[5] played in a well-developed league with world class training facilities. They were led by legendary players in world ice hockey, such as Boris Mikhailov (a top line right winger and team captain), Vladislav Tretiak (the consensus best goaltender in the world at the time), the speedy and skilled Valeri Kharlamov, as well as talented, young, and dynamic players such as defenseman Viacheslav Fetisov and forwards Vladimir Krutov and Sergei Makarov. From that team, Tretiak, Kharlamov, and Fetisov would eventually be enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
U.S. head coach Herb Brooks conducted tryouts in Colorado Springs in the summer of 1979. Of the 20 players who eventually made the final Olympic roster, Buzz Schneider was the only one returning from the 1976 Olympic team.[6] Nine players had played under Brooks at the University of Minnesota, while four more were from Boston University.[7] Assistant coach Craig Patrick had played with Brooks on the 1967 U.S. national team.[8]
The Soviet and American teams were natural rivals due to the decades-old Cold War. In addition, President Jimmy Carter was at the time considering a U.S. boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics, to be held in Moscow, in protest of the December 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. On February 9, the same day that the American and Soviet teams met in an exhibition game in New York City, U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance denounced the impending Moscow games at a meeting of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).[9] President Carter eventually decided in favor of the boycott.
Exhibitions [edit]
In exhibitions that year, Soviet club teams went 5–3–1 against National Hockey League (NHL) teams, and a year earlier, the Soviet national team had routed the NHL All-Stars 6–0 to win the Challenge Cup.[10] In 1979–80, virtually all the top North American players were Canadians, although the number of U.S.-born professional players had been on the rise throughout the 1970s. The 1980 U.S. Olympic team featured several young players who were regarded as highly promising, and some had signed contracts to play in the NHL immediately after the tournament.
In the September before the Olympics, the American team started exhibition play. They played a total of 61 games in five months against teams from Europe and America.[11] Through these games, Herb Brooks instilled a European syle of play in the American team, emphasizing wide open play with sufficient body contact.[12] He believed it would be the only way for the Americans to compete with the Soviets.[12] In the last exhibition game against the Soviets at Madison Square Garden on February 9, 1980, the Soviets crushed the Americans 10–3.[13] Soviet head coach Viktor Tikhonov later said that this victory "turned out to be a very big problem" by causing the Soviets to underestimate the American team.[14]
Olympic group play [edit]
In Olympic group play, the Americans surprised many observers with their physical, cohesive play. In their first game against favored Sweden, Team USA earned a dramatic 2–2 draw by scoring with 27 seconds left after pulling goalie Jim Craig for an extra attacker. Then came a stunning 7–3 victory over Czechoslovakia, who were a favorite for the silver medal. With its two toughest games in the group phase out of the way, the U.S. team reeled off three more wins, beating Norway 5–1, Romania 7–2, and West Germany 4–2 to go 4–0–1 and advance to the medal round from its group, along with Sweden.
In the other group, the Soviets stormed through their opposition undefeated, often by grossly lopsided scores. They defeated Japan 16–0, the Netherlands 17–4, Poland 8–1, Finland 4–2, and Canada 6–4 to easily qualify for the next round, although both the Finns and the Canadians gave the Soviets tough games for two periods. In the end, the Soviet Union and Finland advanced from their group.[15]
Preparing for the medal round [edit]
The U.S. and Soviet teams prepared for the medal round in different ways. Soviet coach Viktor Tikhonov rested most of his best players, preferring to let them study plays rather than actually skate. U.S. coach Herb Brooks, however, continued with his tough, confrontational style, skating hard practices and berating his players for perceived weaknesses and to build stamina. Brooks' goal was to have his team be able to keep up with the Soviets through all three periods.[citation needed]
The day before the match, columnist Dave Anderson wrote in The New York Times, "Unless the ice melts, or unless the United States team or another team performs a miracle, as did the American squad in 1960, the Russians are expected to easily win the Olympic gold medal for the sixth time in the last seven tournaments."[16]
"Do you believe in miracles?" [edit]
With a capacity of 8,500, the Field House was packed.[17] The home crowd waved U.S. flags and sang patriotic songs such as "God Bless America."[10] The game was aired live on CTV in Canada, but not ABC in the United States. Thus, American viewers who resided in or near Canadian border regions and received the CTV signal could watch the game live, but the rest of the United States had to wait for a delayed rebroadcast.
After the Soviets declined a request to move the game from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for U.S. television (this would have meant a 4 a.m. start in Moscow for Soviet viewers), ABC decided to broadcast the late-afternoon game on tape delay in prime time.[18]To this day some of the people that watched the game on television still believe that it was live. Before the game, Brooks read his players a statement he had written out on a piece of paper, telling them that "You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here. This moment is yours."[19]
First period [edit]
As in several previous games, the U.S. team fell behind early. Vladimir Krutov deflected a slap shot by Aleksei Kasatonov past U.S. goaltender Jim Craig to give the Soviets a 1–0 lead, and after Buzz Schneider scored for the United States to tie the game, the Soviets struck again with a Sergei Makarov goal. With his team down 2–1, Craig improved his play, turning away many Soviet shots before the U.S. team had another shot on goal (the Soviet team had 39 shots on goal in the game, the Americans 16).
In the waning seconds of the first period, Dave Christian fired a slap shot on Tretiak from 100 feet (30 m) away. The Soviet goalie saved the shot but misplayed the rebound, which bounced out some 20 feet (6.1 m) in front of him. Mark Johnson sliced between the two defenders, found the loose puck, and fired it past a diving Tretiak to tie the score with one second left in the period. This would be an important judgment call by the officials, as an official announcement confirming the goal did not come until many Soviet players were off the ice and heading to the locker room for intermission.[citation needed] The first period ended with the game tied 2–2.[20]
Second period [edit]
Tikhonov replaced Tretiak with backup goaltender Vladimir Myshkin immediately after Johnson's tying goal,[21] a move which shocked players on both teams.[10] Tikhonov later identified this as the "turning point of the game"[22] and called it "the biggest mistake of my career";[23] years later, when Johnson asked Slava Fetisov, now an NHL teammate, about the move, Fetisov responded with "Coach crazy."[24] Myshkin allowed no goals in the second period. The Soviets dominated play in the second period, outshooting the Americans 12–2, but scored only once, on a power play goal by Aleksandr Maltsev. After two periods the Soviet Union led 3–2.
Third period [edit]
Vladimir Krutov was sent to the penalty box at the 6:47 mark of the third period for high-sticking. The Americans, who had managed only two shots on Myshkin in 27 minutes, had a power play and a rare offensive opportunity. Myshkin stopped a Mike Ramsey shot, then U.S. team captain Mike Eruzione fired a shot wide. Late in the power play, Dave Silk was advancing into the Soviet zone when Valeri Vasiliev knocked him to the ice. The puck slid to Mark Johnson.[25] Johnson fired off a shot that went under Myshkin and into the net at the 8:39 mark, as the power play was ending, tying the game at 3.[26] Only a couple of shifts later, Mark Pavelich passed to Eruzione, who was left undefended in the high slot. Eruzione, who had just come onto the ice, fired a shot past Myshkin, who was screened by Vasili Pervukhin.[27] This goal gave Team USA a 4–3 lead, its first of the game, with exactly 10 minutes left.
The Soviets, trailing for the first time in the game, attacked furiously. Moments after Eruzione's goal, Maltsev fired a shot which ricocheted off the right goal post.[28] As the minutes wound down, Brooks kept repeating to his players, "Play your game. Play your game."[29] Instead of going into a defensive crouch, the United States continued to play offense, even getting off a few more shots on goal.[30] The Soviets began to shoot wildly, and Sergei Starikov admitted that "we were panicking." As the clock ticked down below a minute, the Soviets got the puck back into the American zone, and Mikhailov passed to Vladimir Petrov, who shot wide.[31] The Soviets never pulled Myshkin for an extra attacker, much to the Americans' disbelief. Starikov later explained that "We never did six-on-five", not even in practice, because "Tikhonov just didn't believe in it."[32] Craig kicked away a Petrov slap shot with 33 seconds left. Kharlamov fired the puck back in as the clock ticked below 20 seconds. A wild scramble for the puck ensued, ending when Johnson found it and passed it to Ken Morrow.[32] As the U.S. team tried to clear the zone (move the puck over the blue line, which they did with seven seconds remaining), the crowd began to count down the seconds left. Sportscaster Al Michaels, who was calling the game on ABC along with former Montreal Canadiens goalie Ken Dryden, picked up on the countdown in his broadcast, and delivered his famous call:[33]
" | 11 seconds, you've got 10 seconds, the countdown going on right now! Morrow, up to Silk. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles?! YES! | " |
As his team ran all over the ice in celebration, Herb Brooks sprinted back to the locker room and cried.[34] In the locker room afterwards, players spontaneously broke into a chorus of "God Bless America".[35]
During the broadcast wrap-up after the game, ABC Olympic sports anchor Jim McKay compared the American victory over the Soviets to a group of Canadian college football players defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers (the recent Super Bowl champions).
For its March 3, 1980 issue, Sports Illustrated ran a cover with just a photograph by Heinz Kluetmeier, without any accompanying captions or headlines. Kluetmeier said, "It didn't need (any cover language). Everyone in America knew what happened."[36]
American aftermath [edit]
The United States did not immediately win the gold medal upon defeating the USSR. In 1980 the medal round was a round-robin, not a single elimination format as it is today. Under Olympic rules at the time, the group game with Sweden was counted along with the medal round games versus the Soviet Union and Finland so it was mathematically possible for the United States to finish anywhere from first to fourth.[37]
Despite a starting time of 11 am Eastern (8 am in California) on a Sunday morning, ABC carried the US-Finland game live, displacing its usual political talk-show lineup. (All subsequent American Olympic hockey games have been aired live on a major broadcast network: ABC in 1984 and 1988; CBS in 1992, 1994 and 1998; and NBC since 2002.)
Needing to win to secure the gold medal, Team USA came back from a 2–1 third period deficit to defeat Finland 4–2.[15] According to Mike Eruzione, coming into the dressing room in the second intermission, Brooks turned to his players, looked at them and said, "If you lose this game, you'll take it to your graves." He then paused, took a few steps, turned again, said, "Your graves," and walked out.[33]
At the time, the players ascended a podium to receive their medals and then lined up on the ice for the playing of the national anthem, as the podium was only meant to accommodate one person. Only the team captains remained on the podium for the duration. After the completion of the anthem, Eruzione motioned for his teammates to join him on the podium.[38] Today, podiums are not used for ice hockey; the teams line up on their respective bluelines after the final game.
At the 1982 World Championship in Finland, the Americans finished eighth and last in the round-robin tournament and were relegated into the B-Pool for 1983. They lost six straight games and only managed to tie West Germany 5-5 in their last outing. Returnees from the 1980 Olympic victory included Mike Ramsey, Mark Johnson, Buzz Schneider, and John Harrington.
Later careers [edit]
Of the 20 players on Team USA, 13 eventually played in the NHL.[39] Five of them went on to play over 500 NHL games, and three would play over 1,000 NHL games.
- Neal Broten played one more season for the Golden Gophers before moving on to the NHL, and appeared in 1,099 NHL games over 17 seasons, with 992 of them being with the Minnesota North Stars/Dallas Stars franchise. He captained the Stars before being traded midway through the 1994/95 season to the New Jersey Devils. A two-time All-Star, he tallied 923 career points (289 goals, 634 assists), became the first American player to record 100 points in a season, and won a Stanley Cup as a member of the Devils in 1995.[40] Broten had already won the NCAA championship in 1979 at the University of Minnesota; this, combined with the Olympic gold medal in 1980 and the 1995 Cup win (Broten scored the Cup-winning goal in Game 4 as Viacheslav Fetisov, playing for the Red Wings, fell down), made him the first player in the history of the sport to win a championship at the collegiate, professional, and Olympic levels. The Dallas Stars have since retired number 7 for Broten.
- Ken Morrow won a Stanley Cup in 1980 as a member of the New York Islanders, becoming the first hockey player to win an Olympic gold medal and the Cup in the same year.[41] He went on to play 550 NHL games and win three more Cups, all with the Islanders.[42]
- Mike Ramsey played in 1,070 games over 18 years. Fourteen of those years were spent with the Buffalo Sabres, with whom he played 911 games and was a five-time All-Star, captaining the team from 1990–92. In 1995, he played in the Stanley Cup Finals while with the Detroit Red Wings, but got swept by Neal Broten and the New Jersey Devils. In 2000 Ramsey became an assistant coach for the Minnesota Wild.[43]
- Dave Christian spent 14 years in the NHL, the bulk of them for the original Winnipeg Jets (for whom he served as team captain) and Washington Capitals.[44] In 1990, Christian played in the Stanley Cup Finals while on the Boston Bruins, but lost in five games to the Edmonton Oilers. He ended his career with 783 points (340 goals, 443 assists) in 1,009 games and made the All-Star team in 1991.[45]
- Mark Johnson played for several teams in the NHL before finding a home in New Jersey, tallying 508 career points (203 goals, 305 assists) in 669 games over 11 seasons.[46] Like Christian, Ramsey, and Broten, he became an NHL All-Star (in 1984) and served as team captain with the Hartford Whalers. In 2002 Johnson became the coach of the University of Wisconsin–Madison Women's Hockey team, leading the team to National Championships in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011. Johnson also served as head coach of the women's ice hockey team that won the silver medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
- Jack O'Callahan played 390 NHL regular season games between 1982 and 1989 for the Chicago Blackhawks and New Jersey Devils.
- David Silk played 249 NHL regular season games for the Boston Bruins, Winnipeg Jets, Detroit Red Wings and New York Rangers between 1980 and 1985.
- Jim Craig appeared in 30 NHL games from 1980 through 1984.[47]
- Team captain Mike Eruzione did not play any high-level ice hockey after the 1980 Olympics, as he felt that he had accomplished all of his hockey goals with the gold medal win.[48] He did work as a hockey television analyst in the 1980s and 1990s.
- Craig Patrick, Brooks' assistant coach and assistant general manager, went on to both manage and coach the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL. As a result of his success with the Penguins, who won two Stanley Cups while Patrick was the GM, he was enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2002. During that same year, he also served as GM to the Brooks-coached 2002 US Hockey team that won the silver medal at the Salt Lake City games.
- Herb Brooks, the team coach, coached several NHL teams following the Olympics, with mixed results. He returned to the Olympics as coach of the French team in 1998, the first Olympics in which NHL professionals competed. Brooks then led Team USA to the silver medal in 2002, which included a 3-2 victory over Russia (a large part of the former Soviet Union) in the semi-finals, the match coming 22 years to the day after their famous "Miracle on Ice" game.[49] Brooks died in a car crash near Forest Lake, Minnesota on August 11, 2003 at the age of 66.[50] In 2005, the Olympic Center ice arena in Lake Placid where the Miracle on Ice took place was renamed in his honor.
- Al Michaels got the job as play-by-play man for ice hockey at Lake Placid because he was the only member of ABC's announcing team who had previously called the sport (at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan).[51] Michaels was named "Sportscaster of the Year" in 1980 for his coverage of the event, and the team received Sports Illustrated magazine's "Sportsmen of the Year" award, as well as being named as Athlete of the Year by the Associated Press and ABC's Wide World of Sports. In 2004, ESPN, as part of their 25th anniversary, declared the Miracle on Ice to be the top sports headline moment, and game of the period 1979–2004. The victory was voted the greatest sports moment of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated.[52]
Soviet aftermath [edit]
In the Soviet locker room Tikhonov singled out first-line players Tretiak, Kharlamov, Petrov, and Mikhailov, and told each of them, "This is your loss!"[53] Two days after the Miracle on Ice, the Soviet team crushed Sweden 9–2, winning the silver medal. The Soviet players were so upset at their loss that they did not turn in their silver medals to get their names inscribed on them, as is custom.[54] The result stunned the Soviet Union and its news media. Pravda did not mention the game, either in its next daily issue or in its Lake Placid wrap-up.[54]
Despite the loss, the USSR remained the pre-eminent power in Olympic hockey until its 1991 break-up. The Soviet team did not lose a World Championship game until 1985 and did not lose to the United States again until 1991.[55] Throughout the 1980s, NHL teams continued to draft Soviet players in hopes of enticing them to eventually play professionally in North America, but it was not until the 1988/89 season that the NHL saw its first Soviet player, when veteran Sergei Pryakhin joined the Calgary Flames.[56]
In the 1989/90 season, several 1980 Soviet Olympians joined the NHL, including Helmuts Balderis, Vyacheslav Fetisov, Alexei Kasatonov, Vladimir Krutov, and Sergei Makarov. Fetisov was a teammate of Mike Ramsey on the 1995 Detroit Red Wings team that lost the Stanley Cup Final. Fetisov completed his career by winning Cups with the Red Wings in 1997 and 1998; the first Cup win also made Fetisov a member of the Triple Gold Club, consisting of individuals who have won a Stanley Cup plus gold medals at the Olympics and World Championships.[57] Makarov won the Calder Memorial Trophy as NHL Rookie of the Year in 1989/90, becoming the oldest player to win that award.[58] That same season, younger Soviet stars Alexander Mogilny and Sergei Fedorov defected to play for the Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings, respectively. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, a flood of ex-Soviet stars joined the NHL, including Igor Larionov and Vladimir Konstantinov. Since then, many of the NHL's top players have come from the former Soviet republics.
Film and television [edit]
A made for TV movie Miracle on Ice, starring Karl Malden as Brooks and Steve Guttenberg as Craig, aired on ABC television in March of 1981.[59] It incorporated actual game footage and original commentary from the 1980 Winter Games.
In 2004, Walt Disney Pictures released the film Miracle, starring Kurt Russell as Brooks. Al Michaels recreated his commentary for most of the games. The final ten seconds, however, and his "Do you believe in miracles? YES!" call, were from the original broadcast and used in the film since the filmmakers felt that they could not ask him to recreate the emotion he felt at that moment. The film was dedicated to Herb Brooks, who died shortly after principal photography was completed. The movie was released by Walt Disney Pictures, by that point a sister company to ABC.
The documentary film Do You Believe in Miracles?, narrated by Liev Schreiber, appeared on HBO in 2001.[60]

Buying in bulk has obvious cost savings, but are you really getting value for money. |
When it comes to roasted coffee, you know by reading the articles that we bang on and on about FRESH IS BEST.
There is what we call the DEGAS period where the coffee can be unstable, too gassy and even perhaps a little harsh for the first 14 days from the Roast Date.
You also know that coffee is a fresh food that actually degrades in the approved, heat sealed triple-foil 1-way valve professional coffee bean packaging.
We recommend you plan your coffee purchase around 45 day intervals in order to enjoy the coffee beans at their peak.
Coffee beans can last a long time, it does not go bacterial and please don't get suckered into that old product labelling loophole that obliges us to state a best before of 12 months (or 2 years if you are Italian !).
You buy in bulk to save money and then find that after day 60 you are just not enjoying the coffee as much as when you first received the parcel, then let your palate be the judge on how long to space between purchases.
We place a 90 day best before on our packs with the actual roast date, but in reality I would be advocating the coffee is used inside of 45 days.

hardest to explain in what sense? He died, he came back, he died again, he came back again. Pretty straight forward.

I've always thought Nick Fury should be really, really old.
And the Punisher. But he's died, came back as an angel, came back as the punisher, was chopped up into little peices, reassembled into some sort of Frankenstein's monster (Frankencastle to be exact) and then got better. |

There was an explanation of Fury's apparent youth, he was injected with something called the "Infinity Formula".

It only ever 'looked' like he'd died... in the first instance the cold preserved his body, so he was kind of in hibernation, and in the second he faked his own death to go and work some black ops...

It was more of a comment on Bucky being hard to explain, he's followed the same pattern as pretty much every other comic book character in history, only with a bit more time inbetween revivals! As has been said Fury has made numerous references to the fact he's an old man in a young mans body. Punishers age seems to fluctuate depending on the continuity. In the MAX series he was 60-odd, but 616 I'm not sure, probably the same reason most other characters have minimally aged over the last 50 years.. |

Readership: Scholars and students of Politics and Economics, especially those with an interest in Political Economy, Social Policy, Comparative Politics, Globalization, Public Policy, and Public Administration
Jochen Clasen, Professor in School of Social and Political Studies, University of Edinburgh
Review(s) from previous edition"'Clasen's book represents an outstanding contribution to the welfare state retrenchment and restructuring literature. It is especially valuable because it questions and qualifies received wisdoms in the debate, such as the stereotyping of the German and British welfare states or the dimensionality of the concept of change...a very readable piece deserving of a broad audience well beyond scholars of the German and British welfare states.' - Journal of European Social Policy, Jan 2007
"'...the book makes a valuable contribution to the analysis of welfare state transitions....rightly questions simplistic assumptions and forms of analysis....'" - Journal of Social Policy, 36, 3, 2007, pp 500-501

The literal definition for ass-cheese is the sweaty, smelly grime that can be found between the butt cheeks of an unwashed crack, more often found at the very beginnings of the cavity just below the rump.
Other definitions include the use of the word describing things and/or situations equally foul or smelly. Ass-cheese can be used in replacement of similar words that describe things and conditions that are unfavorable. 'MAN!! This bathroom smells like ass-cheese!!'
'This sucks worse than the time I was drunk and licked your ass-cheese!!' 'This burger tastes like ass-cheese!!' |

A man-sized dinosaur who plays a keyboard (or other annoying electronic instrument) in an attempt to bond with the other dinosaurs, who are blatantly cooler than him. Unfortunately, the Tibenorous only eats pony shaped foods (mainly potatoes carved into the aforementioned shape), making it repulsive to the other dinosaurs.
In effect, anybody trying to claw their way up the social ladder can be compared to a Tibenorous. Nerd: Hey Cassandra, I just bought a new battling robot. Would you like to come and see it?
*Nerd secretly jizzes in pants at mention of robots* Cheerleader (to other cheerleader friends): OMG! He is such a friggin' Tibenorous! I literally want to cut myself right now. This is more painful than when Paul donkey punched me last night... |

DVLA Pre 1960 MOT details provided to LCGB
Sunday 13 January 2013 at 05:04 am Pre-1960 VehiclesI am writing to notify you of a change in legislation that may impact a number of your members.
From 18 November 2012, vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1960 will become exempt from the requirements to have a mandatory MoT test. I can confirm that these vehicles will still be required to be in a roadworthy condition when used on a public road. Keepers of pre-1960 vehicles will still be able to take a voluntary MOT test at all approved testing stations if they wish to do so.
This means that on or after 18 November 2012, keepers of vehicles who need to tax their pre-1960 vehicle(s) will not need to produce a valid MOT pass certificate when applying for a tax disc. Any application to tax via the Post Office or Local Office will require a completed V112 (Declaration of exemption from MoT testing) where the customer declares that their vehicle is exempt. In addition, the DVLA electronic vehicle licensing system will enable customers with pre-1960 vehicles to tax without a MoT from 18 November 2012.
This exemption will also apply to vehicles where a date of manufacture is not on the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) system, but the date of registration is recorded as being on or before 7 January 1960. We also apply this policy to the qualification criteria for the pre-1973 Vehicle Excise Duty exemption.
I can confirm that for these specific cases, DVLA will not accept general dating certificates as evidence to amend or update the date of manufacture. Such certificates will however, continue to be accepted for other purposes such as V765 claims and requests for age related numbers for recently restored or recently imported vehicles
I trust this explains the situation.
Yours sincerely

The retrial of Corey "C-Murder" Miller on charges of second degree murder is scheduled to begin on February 11. According to the Associated Press, the date was agreed upon by Judge Martha Sassone, prosecutors and Miller's defense attorneys during a recent conference call. C-Murder is accused of shooting 16 year-old Steven Thomas to death in a Harvey, La. nightclub in 2002. His conviction was later overturned because of a discrepancy concerning a witness. During a hearing on Tuesday (October 16) Sassone also noted that, contrary to previous reports, she did in fact approve trips to New York and Mississippi that Miller made to meet with a record executive and promote his novel Death Around The Corner. The validity of the trips came into question when it was discovered that no such authorization had been logged into the Jefferson Parish electronic database of court records. Although Miller's attorney, Ron Rakosky, had faxed travel requests to Sassone's office prior to the trips and she approved them, they were not entered into the database for weeks after the fact. According to court clerk Jon Gegenheimer, these types of requests should be logged into the system within days of them being submitted. The hearing on Tuesday was called to discuss a drug test that incorrectly identified drugs in Miller's system. A subsequent test showed that Miller was in fact clean and the false positive may have been caused by cough syrup that he had recently taken.

They are more geared toward stimulating every muscle fiber possible in the specific group you are targeting that day…So that being said, today we give you some lats and upper back finishers that would go great with something like our Muscle Mass: Lats/Upper Back Routine.
(NOTE: You will be able to locate these under the "Resources" tab here shortly.)
Finisher #1:
Complete as many rounds as possible, as quickly as possible while maintaining proper form: The key on these is to go EXTREMELY SLOW on the lowering phase of the lift.
1. NEGATIVE PULL UP - 15 Reps
2. Negative Barbell Bent Over Row – 10 Reps
Repeat 2-3 Times
Finisher #2
These are performed quicker than Finisher #1
1. Jumping Pull Ups – 1 Minute
2. Dumbbell Bent Over Rows – 1 Minute
Repeat 2-3 Times
Finisher #3
All exercises with dumbbells
1. High Pull/Upright Row – 12
2. Bent Over Rows – 12
3. Rear Delt Raise - 12

And could this number actually be a lot higher... especially if we consider the massive numerical error being commonly sited about the CSFP, mentioned
just recently in the mega thread?
Japan's former Ambassador to Switzerland, Mr. Mitsuhei Murata, was invited to speak at the Public Hearing of the Budgetary Committee of the House of Councilors on March 22, 2012, on the Fukushima nuclear power plants accident. Before the Committee, Ambassador Murata strongly stated that if the crippled building of reactor unit 4—with 1,535 fuel rods in the spent fuel pool 100 feet (30 meters) above the ground—collapses, not only will it cause a shutdown of all six reactors but will also affect the common spent fuel pool containing 6,375 fuel rods, located some 50 meters from reactor 4. In both cases the radioactive rods are not protected by a containment vessel; dangerously, they are open to the air. This would certainly cause a global catastrophe like we have never before experienced. He stressed that the responsibility of Japan to the rest of the world is immeasurable. Such a catastrophe would affect us all for centuries. Ambassador Murata informed us that the total numbers of the spent fuel rods at the Fukushima Daiichi site excluding the rods in the pressure vessel is 11,421
I asked top spent-fuel pools expert Mr. Robert Alvarez, former Senior Policy Adviser to the Secretary and Deputy Assistant Secretary for National Security and the Environment at the U.S. Department of Energy, for an explanation of the potential impact of the 11,421 rods.

Please modify your headline. Fukushima CAN be 85x worse in respect of Cesium 137 than Chernobyl if SFP r.4 collapse. I'm afraid that there is no possibility to compare Fukushima to Chernobyl because we do not have enough data thanks to TEPCO, Japanese and USA government, military cliques of both states and UN/IEAE. We have not sufficient data for any "hard core" conclusions in field of tens of transuranic elements developed during work time of reactors and subsequent melt through of cores.
What should be also said: there is not "1,535 fuel rods" but 1,535 assemblies of fuel rods consisting of cca 90 fuel rods each in SFP of reactor building No. 4: 460 tons of highly volatile mix of s..t.

If your waiting for TEPCO to tell you everything is going to S*** your gonna be waiting a while and hopefully your not in Japan as waiting for TEPCO to tell you things are bad will be a death sentence to those in Japan near Fukashima that stay.
At 11:04 pm on April 1, a 5.9-magnitude earthquake centered in the coast of Fukushima Prefecture occurred. Hama-dori of Fukusihma Prefecture registerd intensity 5 lower on the Japanese seismic (intensity) scale of 7. No abnormalities were detected at facilities for water injection into the reactors, nitrogen gas injection, cooling of spent fuel pool, and the treatment of highly contaminated water at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
They all operate normally after the quake. As for the degree of the shake of the reactor buildings, Unit 6's reactor building's foundation registered 40.7 gal in horizontal direction and 19.4 gal in vertical direction. We, TEPCO, evaluates earthquake-proof safety by developing Design Basis Earthquake Ground Motion Ss as large-scale quake which would possibly occur in future.
For example, the degree of shake of Unit 6's reactor building's foundation against the Design Basis Earthquake Ground Motion is 448 gal in horizontal direction and 415 gal in vertical direction (, which is around 10 times large in horizontal way and around 20 times large in vertical way compared with the quake occurred on April 1, 2012). We assess that the level of this Design Basis Earthquake Ground Motion is almost same as the one recorded for the Tohoku - Pacific Ocean Earthquake.
Based on the Motion, we simulated the damaged situation of the current reactor buildings of Unit 1 to 4, having implemented quake response analysis for the reactor buildings as well as equipments and pipes which are important in terms of safety. As a result, we confirmed that there are no negative signal, such as shear/ twist of quake-proof walls of buildings, the fact that the stress of facilities/ piping lowers the standard value, and the fact that buildings collapse and facilities/ piping lose their functions.

Your blindness really astonishes me, but each its own, enjoy your FUBAR japan...
Professor Hayakawa went to Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture and walked in Kaiseiyama Park right near the City Hall. Compared to his walk in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo on the previous day, the radiation levels in Koriyama City is markedly higher (no surprise).
• Nearly all of the 10,893 spent fuel assemblies sit in pools vulnerable to future earthquakes, with roughly 85 times more long-lived radioactivity than released at Chernobyl
• Several pools are 100 feet above the ground and are completely open to the atmosphere because the reactor buildings were demolished by explosions. The pools could possibly topple or collapse from structural damage coupled with another powerful earthquake.
• The loss of water exposing the spent fuel will result in overheating and can cause melting and ignite its zirconium metal cladding resulting in a fire that could deposit large amounts of radioactive materials over hundreds, if not thousands of miles.
This was not lost on Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who after visiting the site on April 6, wrote to Japan's U.S. ambassador, Ichiro Fujusaki, that "loss of containment in any of these pools... could result an even larger release of radiation than the nuclear accident."
April 20, 2012
Mounting troubles at Japan's hobbled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant now pose a real threat to human survival. If the area in which Unit 4 is struck by another 7.0 magnitude earthquake, there's a 70 percent chance that "the entire fuel pool structure will collapse" and massive doses of lethal nuclear radiation will be released into the atmosphere. The disaster would release approximately "134 million curies is Cesium-137 — roughly 85 times the amount of Cs-137 released at Chernobyl as estimated by the U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP)." Experts believe that the amounts are sufficient to "destroy the world environment and our civilization", which makes containment "an issue of human survival." ("The Greatest Single Threat to Humanity: Fuel Pool Number 4″, Washington's blog)
There is no way to overstate the media's complicity in concealing critical information about the tragedy that is presently unfolding at Fukushima. If there is another earthquake, the media will certainly be every bit as responsible as the government officials who saw the danger, but chose to do nothing.
If an earthquake hits and undermines the pool, the coolant will exit the pool, the rods will melt and radioactive plumes will rise into the atmosphere. Koide explained that the rods could not be safely removed from the existing pool because "if you hoist them up in the air, huge amount of radiation will come out from the spent fuel and people nearby will die."
One of the journalists on "Morning Bird" asked Koide what would happen if the Unit was struck by another earthquake?
Koide answered, "That will be the end."
"The end," the journalist asked, visibly shaken?
"The end," Koide repeated emphatically.
