Man accused of trying to murder Pc who was run over appears in court
The officer has undergone surgery since the incident on Saturday afternoon.
A man has appeared in court charged with attempting to murder a police officer who was run over while trying to stop a suspected car theft.
Mubashar Hussain is accused of the attempted killing of 42-year-old traffic officer Pc Gareth Phillips in an incident in Moorcroft Road, Birmingham, at about 4.45pm on Saturday.
The 29-year-old, who is charged with a total of 13 offences, appeared in the dock of Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Monday flanked by security officers.
He spoke only to confirm his name, age and address and was told the offences were so serious they must be sent to the city's crown court.
Hussain, formerly of Sherwood Road, Hall Green, Birmingham, is alleged to have caused serious injury by dangerous driving, dangerous driving on the city's A41 Warwick Road, and wounding another police officer who suffered a cut arm.
He is accused of taking a BMW without the owner's consent and driving it without a licence.
Hussain is further accused of four counts of assaulting other constables, driving while disqualified and two car thefts.
The thefts relate to a black Range Rover stolen on Friday, and a blue Range Rover Sport, taken on Saturday.
Representing Hussain, solicitor Abir Uddin said: "There will be a guilty plea to count number eight, to causing serious injury by dangerous driving."
It is alleged Hussain stole a Range Rover Sport at about 4.30pm on the day the officer was injured and another Range Rover, taken the previous day.
Hussain, wearing a white t-shirt, appeared alongside 24-year-old Ahsan Ghafoor, formerly of Fulham Road, Sparkhill.
Ghafoor, wearing a grey t-shirt, is accused of taking both Range Rovers, dangerous driving, and driving the Range Rover Sport without a licence and without insurance.
Prosecuting, Shazad Imam, said the matters should be sent to Birmingham Crown Court as it was the Crown's case the men had acted "in concert" during the alleged offences.
Deputy district judge David Murray, hearing the case, said: "I will send all matters to the Crown Court sitting at Birmingham for the next appearance on the September 9, this year."
He added: "I've sent these matters to the Crown Court and you will next appear there when matters will be expected to be ready to proceed to plea.
He added: "It is likely you will be produced via video-link, but that's a matter for the judge, but I warn you if you fail to attend the court, the Crown Court will deal with you in a very different way."
There was no application for bail.
Members of both men's families had filled the public gallery at the back of the courtroom, and Hussain turned to exchange greetings as he was led up from the cells.
West Midlands Police revealed it had been flooded with messages of support on social media for the injured officer.
The veteran officer, who has served with the force for almost 20 years, has had surgery over the weekend and remains in hospital.
Although his condition is not life-threatening, the force said the longer term prognosis was as yet "unclear".

Tridos Bank, CCLA, WHEB Asset Management and others have written to the Government to say that while the subsidies that renewable energy groups get are ?clear and transparent?, fossil fuels get indirect subsidies. According to the International Energy Agency, global subsidies to fossil fuels were six times higher than renewable energy in 2010.
City investors want the National Audit Office to work out precisely what subsidies fossil fuel groups get. They say that without knowing precisely the Government cannot develop a clear energy framework and people cannot invest in renewable energy projects.
Their letter says: ?To make clear decisions, we need a clear picture. We don?t have a full picture about the economic relationship between the State and the energy sector.?
The call comes ahead of the Government?s Energy Bill, due in mid-November, which is intended to set the framework for investment in lower carbon forms of energy, such as wind, and tidal energy, in order to reduce the UK?s reliance on gas and coal. However some fear the move to low carbon energy generation will be costly for consumers, with billions of pounds likely to be added to household bills in a type of green tax to pay for subsidies.
British consumers and businesses will be subsidising French nationalised industries by bankrolling EDF. In addition, most of the jobs created will go to foreign nationals
Director of environmental consultancy E3G Tom Burke
Last month business leaders urged Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne to commit to a low carbon energy policy or risk damaging Britain?s economic recovery. EDF Energy, Sky, Boots, Asda, Aviva, Cisco, British American Tobacco, Microsoft and other corporate giants wrote to the Government to say that lack of clarity over policy is damaging the economy as companies cannot invest with any certainty in low carbon energy infrastructure.
Nuclear power is also seen as green because it has no carbon emissions. Industry estimates suggest that subsidies for new nuclear power could add up to ?70 to annual household energy bills.
France?s EDF Energy is planning to build new nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point in Somerset, but experts are sceptical of the benefits.
Tom Burke, director of environmental consultancy E3G, said: ?British consumers and businesses will be subsidising French nationalised industries by bankrolling EDF. In addition, most of the jobs created will go to foreign nationals.?

If you work with large volumes of data, but cannot afford a data warehouse solution, then read on…
Data warehouse implementation may be the best option for companies with deep pockets but, realistically, most SMBs (small and medium-sized businesses) cannot afford such expense. Our SMB clients often need a tool that can support massive amounts of operational and financial data, from multiple databases, without the expensive price tag attached to a data warehouse solution.
Microsoft Access is a highly affordable and effective system for meeting intermediary data management challenges until a more complete data warehouse becomes available. Access was developed for users working with significant amounts of data, who do not have (or want) the programming experience necessary to build an SQL database, but who need more flexibility than Excel would allow. While an Access database may take more time and thought to set up than an Excel file, the return on investment is significantly greater.
Key features of Access includes:
- Compatibility with most SQL-based enterprise systems such as SAP and Oracle.
- Scalable to almost any sized business (Excel has row limitations while Access can compute millions of records)
- Easy on-going maintenance (meta metadata can be added without having to change formulas or create additional worksheets or files)
- Easily auditable as there is a single system of record
- Allows several users to enter data simultaneously
- Add-on features such as Dashboard Builder provide a powerful way to track key business metrics
Meritus' Client Successes with Access:
- Software company uses Access to analyze utilization and capacity of more than 400 global professional services consultants using data from disparate HR, resource management and accounting systems;
- Financial services company uses Access to analyze over 4 million transactions; and

Why I left the Boy Scouts
There's a been a lot of talk about abuse in churches. Are they bad places for young people? Well, here's a story that may surprise you. It happened to me. Perhaps it happened to you.

Stories from the Creed (2) Creator
'Where?' asked the visitor.
'At the place where it all started. Life. See this?' Opening a fridge door, he held up a sealed petri dish with a grey smear of something lying in the middle. The visitor removed his spectacles for a closer look, squinting as the biophysicist rattled off his prepared commentary. 'These are the amino acids that would have existed here on this planet around 20 billion years ago. We think some global event probably did it, maybe the passing of a comet. Either the heat, the impact, the radiation, or a coming together of all three, caused a reaction that created completely new chains of molecules- and ended up as the thing we call DNA.' Satisfied, the biophysicist replaced the petri dish in the fridge, next to hundreds of others, and shut the door.

I doubt I can. Every day, I find reasons to complain.
Why is it so cold here? I'm sick of winter, and winter hasn't even started yet.
The train is running late again. Why is it moving so slow?
That jerk. His vehicle just cut me off.
If this person wants to drive at half the speed limit, they should get out the way so I can get by.
Politicians are terrible. When will they ever do what I would like to see them do?
I'm skilled at finding things to complain about. But whether my complaints have validity or not
doesn't matter. They don't help the situation. And most of the time the circumstances are out of my control anyways. I can't do anything about the weather, the train, or the driver that just cut me off.
But I can control my attitude. You can too.
For this month's mission, try to go one week without complaining. See how long it takes for people to notice your new attitude.
Notes on the mission:
- Give yourself grace when you do catch yourself complaining.
- Try to reframe any complaints with gratitude. For example, instead of saying, "The train never runs on schedule," you can say, "I'm thankful to have public transit."
- My thanks to James Altucher for the idea.
Share your experiences and observations in the comments.

6 Months of Hard Work…. for what?
- 11
- Dec
The season ended for the Cardinia Beaconhills Junior Pennant Team last weekend when they lost their last game 1-5. The team only won 1 match and halved 1 match all year but I mark the season down as a great success. The VicGolf Junior Pennant season is a handicap matchplay competition between clubs with teams of 6 juniors.
Surely the measure of a teams success is where they finished on the ladder right? Well, finishing 2nd last on the ladder this year was far from what the team had in mind and I'm sure most will be disappointed with that BUT, I saw something special happen this year with the team.
We began preparing for the season around April meeting most Sunday mornings at 9am for 2 hours of practice, drills, tuition and competitions. The focus for that time was The Short Game with the majority of weeks spent on the practice putting/chipping green. We addressed the putting and chipping technique, how to practice effectively, skills testing and short game competitions.
Whilst the team didn't finish high up on the ladder, we achieved numerous fantastic outcomes for the year.
Like most junior golfers who aspire to be good golfers, dealing with adversity and undesirable results can be challenging. Not playing up to their best and hitting poor shots can sometimes lead to "Spitting the Dummy". How important this is for golfers became apparent to the team when we visited Lang Lang Golf Club to play in their club competition one Thursday during the year. I gave them a pep talk before the round explaining they were still representing the club as they visiting as a group.
After the round I had to do one of the most unpleasant things I had to do all year with the team. Break the news to them that several members had mentioned about what they had witnessed on the course. With the Riot Act out of the way, we set about dealing with attitudes on the course. A rule was put in place by the players that there would be a penalty if any team member 'Spat the Dummy' during the season.
It was pleasing that no penalty was served for breaches of behaviour on the course. It was also noted on several occasions by the players that some of their opponents would have broken their code several times. I believe our juniors saw from the outside what 'Spitting the Dummy' really looks like. Player gets angry = Opponent gains confidence.
It is in no way a lesson only to be learned about how to act on the golf course… but hopefully a lesson about how to deal with less than desirable outcomes in life. You can get angry and upset if things don't go your way… but it is the reaction to adversity that will draw the most attention. People won't remember a bad shot you hit but will more than likely remember your reaction to it and what happens next, GOOD or BAD.
In April, when we commenced practice, most of the team had played in the previous years competitions, so knew each other well. Only a couple would play together on a regular basis and none of them would do anything socially together. Today, I know that many of the juniors play together regularly and spend time socially together away from the club. This has been one of the most pleasing outcomes from the season, friendship.
A couple of 'team bonding' days were held throughout the year… I think the best one was the Fishing Tournament at Eildon Pondage.
My validation of success this year happened in the last round when we lost 1-5. The opposing manager felt compelled to commented to me on 3 things about our team.
- How encouraging and supporting our players were towards each other
- How good their attitude on the course was
- How good their short games were
I feel very proud of what the team has become and how the individual players are maturing.
Being a handicap matchplay competition, we knew this year would be tough. This was also made a lot tougher by the time the season actually started with most of the juniors dropping their handicap by as much as 10 shots.
There were a few notable performances during the year and sorry in advance if I miss any…
- Taylar (off 22) shot 15 over par in the last two rounds and lost his match on the last hole both times. How does someone shoot 7 better than their handicap and lose two weeks running is beyond me?!?
- Jordan who has dropped from 16 – 8 and was regularly giving shots to his opponent. He was about 4 over par at Pakenham and only managed to win his match on the last hole.
- Riley who has dropped from 16 – 11 since we started was only 5 over par and halved his match at Pakenham.
- Chris (off 11) was 5 over par when he lost 3/2 at home.
- Matthew (off 36) in his first ever pennant match, won his first hole and even though lost his match, comments were relayed about how good his short game was and his consistent play.
- Patrick Coughlin (off 33) in his first ever pennant match was 2 up early in his match and managed to get to the 15th hole before going down in a tight tussle.
(Note: Matthew and Patrick have only just got their 18 hole handicaps and are only 11 years old. They both displayed their potential in the last round when they were given their opportunity to play their first game.)

I believe this season was the start of something which will be great for the Junior Golfers at Cardinia Beaconhills. Given more time, introduce new juniors to the team and fine tune the program we will create a strong basis for an environment at the club to assist with the development of young people.
I have enjoyed coaching the team this season and look forward to watching each of the juniors development as they grow.
Kindest Regards

So, you're looking to breathe the fresh salt spray of the Eastern Seaboard and wonder at pretty Carolinian lighthouses, all without the frantic energy, twirling carousels, and throbbing boardwalks of Myrtle Beach? This could just be the perfect place. Swaying seagrasses flit this way and that in the breezes; kayaks bob on the brackish creeks; the echoes of golf hits rebound through the swamps; the sand glistens as the Atlantic swells break; dunes peak above the ocean spray, and oodles of Caswell Beach vacation rentals pepper the coast all along Oak Island.
There's a chance you'll be able to see the soaring tops of the famous Oak Island Lighthouse from the porch of those Caswell Beach vacation rentals. Clocking up 45 meters in height, it looms over the beaches and buildings here to ward off ships from the shoals at the entrance to the Cape Fear River. After climbing the spiral staircases and getting your selfies there, be sure to head across the waters to the Old Baldy Lighthouse and Smith Island Museum of History. That's where you'll see even older heritage lighthouses, and unravel tales of American maritime history.
If you've been lucky enough to bag one of the many Caswell Beach vacation rentals close to the coast, then you're in for a treat. Long days of sunbathing and swimming with the Atlantic are on the menu, while surf fishing, sea kayaking, creek walking, bird spotting, and oodles more all goes on in the surrounding nature parks and coves. Golf is another big draw too, while wildlife trails abound around the Brunswick Islands, offering the chance to spot rare sea turtles and formidable alligators floundering close to the shores.
Just like Myrtle Beach to the south west and most all of the other beautiful Brunswick Islands, Caswell Beach is certainly at its best in the summer. The months between June and August bring warm temperatures both in and out of the water. They offer long days of sunshine for lazing on the dunes, and often top conditions for hitting the nature trails or birding routes. Late September and fall can also be pretty, giving fall colors and some bargain Caswell Beach vacation rentals to boot.
Caswell Beach sits on the eastern cap of Oak Island, marking the farthest extension of the Myrtle Beach metro area in NC. The result is a place washed over by the ceaseless swells of the Atlantic Ocean, with long runs of wide sands interspersed occasionally by sections of craggy rock dipping into the sea. You'll also find oodles of wetlands and winding creeks in these parts, often inhabited by rare migratory waterfowl and snapping alligators alike.
Fly into Wilmington, NC (ILM-Wilmington Intl.), the closest airport, located 26.9 mi (43.2 km) from the city center. If you can't find a flight that's convenient for your trip, you could also fly into Myrtle Beach, SC (MYR), which is 52.8 mi (85 km) away.

Newborn to 3 Months: Babies cannot do much at this stage but their senses are eager for stimulation. Childrens educational toys with high-contrast patterns and bright colors will capture little ones attention. Babies can see color from birth but have difficulty distinguishing between similar tones. Educational toys designed with bright and distinctly different colors like red, green, black and white help babies differentiate shapes and patterns. Babies spend a good deal of time on their backs and sides at this age making colorful mobiles that play music a great educational toy choice. Babies are fascinated by their reflection in safety mirrors. They are not able to recognize themselves but the activity is great visual stimulation. Baby gyms are excellent educational toys because of the variety of stimulation they offer. Baby gyms have bright colors, a variety of attachments with different shapes, textures, and sounds. Most gyms now play music and have lights as well. These educational toy gyms require baby to pull, kick, or bat something to set off the stimulus helping to develop motor skills.
Even after half-a-century of Indian Independence, the fate of education, educators and students has hardly improved. The apathy of the power that be, including a large section of society, has not changed when it comes to human resource development and education. Even now there are more than four crore educated unemployed.

3 to 6 Months: During this stage your baby will gain better head control and have better movement of arms and legs. They generally grip onto anything they can get their hands on and put it directly into their mouth. Educational toys like rattles promote motor development and provide sensory stimulation. Since everything ends up in the mouth, educational toys that are chewable or soft plush are favorites. Babies need to experience different textures so vary the materials educational toys are made of. Activity centers provide lots of stimulation at this age. These educational toys normally have lots of buttons that produce sounds, lights, and give a variety of textures to explore. Hand-eye coordination will improve as babies explore the activity center. Parents are often on the move more with babies at this age. Activity bars that fit across a stroller, car seat, or bouncy chair that have dangling, squeaky toys and mirrors keep baby stimulated while on the move.

The Central and state governments invoke ESMA to curb the voice of agitating people, but it takes no time to give benefits to politicians and bureaucrats. It is essential to please them so that a symbiotic balance is maintained as also to oblige a few of them. The government has failed to take effective steps to curb industrialization of education. Within hours the doles given in Parliament and honorarium were doubled but the 6 per cent expenditure of the GDP on education has proved to be dogma persisting right from the Kothari Commission recommendations for over four decades now.

Opioid Addiction - Judgment-Free Recovery
August 27, 2018
Fear of judgment often holds people back from seeking help for opioid addiction, but it's critical to tune out stigma and get help. Why? Because opioid abuse is killing more people in our country than car accidents, breast cancer or firearms.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were more than 63,000 drug overdoses in 2016, and opium-derived drugs were involved in 66 percent of all overdose deaths. Deaths from overdose were five times higher in 2016 than 1999.
Scientists have discovered that Medication-Assisted Treatment, or MAT, is the best form of treatment for opioid addiction, giving people the greatest chance of recovery. The medication can reduce cravings, so that a person can live drug-free while participating in cognitive therapy, aftercare and family engagement.
The Friary , an addiction treatment program at Lakeview Center, encourages healing and using individualized approaches in a judgement-free environment. Alumni and staff provide support.
Meet our team and call today to get help for yourself or a loved one at 850.932.9375, 800.332.2271 or visit us online at TheFriary.org .

Best Smartphone
Product of the Year 2010 (Runner Up)
Readers' Choice: Product of the Year (Runner Up)(/centre)
There's no point beating about the bush, if you don't mind your phones being big, the HTC Desire HD is the best smartphone on the market right now. A good screen, great design, and bucket loads of features combine to make this the best overall phone we've seen.
All this and we've apparently been given a version of the phone that doesn't have the final firmware. Quite what is missing, we're not sure but we found nothing that would concern us.
Ironically, what immediately strikes us about the Desire HD is not a positive thing but rather how big and heavy it is. Measuring 123 x 68 x 11.8 mm it's 8mm wider, 10mm taller, and a couple of millimetres thicker than that favourite yard stick, the iPhone 4. It's also 27g heavier at a total of 164g. As such it really does feel bulky and to our minds pushes the limits of what we'd consider comfortable and practical, and we'd have preferred to see the same overall package squeezed into a device with a 3.7in screen like the original Desire.
What that size does get you, though, is an enormous 4.3in screen that has many potential benefits such as being easier to read and nicer to view video and photos on. However, we feel it's still somewhat small to happily watch a whole movie on, as you would on a laptop, and you'd have to have pretty poor eyesight to find it significantly easier than a 3.7in display. As such we feel the extra size is of little to no benefit, especially as the 800 x 480 resolution is no higher than rival devices with much smaller screens. Moreover, it's simply impossible to reach the whole display when using the phone one-handed without shifting your grip, which can be a bit awkward.
Display quality is also not "quite" as good as we might hope. It uses an LCD rather than OLED panel so isn't as bright or vibrant but we actually don't mind this as LCD screens are sharper – comparing this phone to the Samsung Galaxy S really confirmed our issues with that phones display looking rather grainy.
However, what we would've liked to see is the same quality LCD panel as used on the iPhone 4. By using IPS technology rather than TN, that display has better viewing angles, greater contrast and better colour reproduction. We really are nitpicking here and it wouldn't put us off buying one but it's worth noting that perfection this phone certainly isn't.

Filed under: Art Kuwait, General, H&A news, Press, Reminiscing Kuwait II
Developing a story, as an artist, requires strenuous pursuits of growth, quiet periods of surreal contemplation and reflection, and the allure of innate talent to engage the viewer. Presenting the historic story that is Kuwait is a patriotic journey that has been the popular subject matter chosen by a myriad of artists this year. However, Reminiscing Kuwait II, is a captivating showcase that has recently caused the art community to stand back, take note, and more importantly reflect. The inspired artistic visions of design team Hamad AlSaab and Ali Sultan leaves little room for debate yet allows the viewer to engage in endless moments of inflection and self-exploration.

Reminiscing Kuwait II
A tale of a Country
A single item used to have many different uses … Today we need many different items to perform a single task.
To every journey, there is a path … to every path, there is a destination … There was a time when Kuwait was on its way to being an Arab utopia through the vision of its enlightened leaders. Unfortunately, time often manages to twist history right in front of our eyes, without us even having the slightest of notice. Let us take you through the journey of time from 1936 to 1964, by screening a collection of historic articles, pictures portraying different aspects of Kuwaiti lifestyle during that period.
By taking you through that journey, we will let you decide of where we were, where we are, and what went wrong along the way…

8 June 2019 - Home
1st XI Cherwell Div 4 fixture.
A classic Garrett weather day saw Horspath travel to Newland on match day 5.
After heavy weather in the week the track had a strong tinge of green to it, a good toss to win.
Burney used his double headed coin again at the toss and elected to bowl first.
The Mills looked up for it before a ball was bowled, Mayho, at the ground from 7am led the carefully constructed warm up with the Mills men looking sharp.
It would too follow into the bowling performance, fresh from a new set of injections, Lefort didn't take long to make the first break through, bowling Thomas for 1 in a classic Lefort dismissal.
Abbas would follow, caught behind for 5 and so too Kulkarni, played on for 2 all the victim of the rejuvenated Lefort. Dre Madden also joined the party, all over skipper Wharton he would claim his man LBW for 3. A superb start from the Mills, leaving Horspath 16-4. Burney, smelling blood brought himself on, removing Richardson for 1 quickly. Wilkinson & Jones re-built for Horspath, seeing of an initial spell from Garrett, who similar to Cockroft from the previous week had mirages of bowling at Adam Wirth. Part time spinner, Haselgrove came in and bowled expensively before being pulled out of the attack from skipper Targaryen, frustrated at the spinners lack of flight and fire breathing abilities. Kelly too came in and left the attack, going for 1 run off two overs.
Mills got to drinks and as always were resurgent after, Cockroft, newly introduced, got the breakthrough in his first over, bowling Wilkinson for 12. The seamer wouldn't have to wait long for his next, clean bowling Perkins first ball with an imperious delivery, swinging in and clipping the top of off stump with enough vigour to break a new bail, much to the umpires dislike. Horspath once again tried to re-build from 76-7, not easy with Cockroft hitting his straps in what was a tremendous spell. The quick, testing the batsmen's pads, with the umpire's memory still fresh from the recently incurred £3.95 additional expense, he would wave away Cockroft's claims.
Cockroft found a way though, having the experienced Rana caught for 1, Cockroft would end the day with figures of 3-10.
The away side, now keen to get on with it, took more chances, it wasn't long until the wily Kelly would beat Jones in the flight and thanks to some tidy work from Mayho would have him stumped for 31. Berry was the last man to fall, chipping straight back to the bowler, Garrett for 1.
With the Mills needing 117 to win Haselgrove started characteristically carefully, working the ball around looking for ones and twos. His demise would come though attempting his usual forward defensive with his head pointed vertically to the sky, a technical quirk the batsman is committed to fixing, bowled for 8. Garrett came and went, caught behind off the bowling of Cardy for 2 with a ball just taking off the surface. Hare and Burney re-built well, recreating some of their early season form. Hare looking dominant, with some lovely drives as well as some good running. Hare would fall uncharacteristically run out, the batsman's' lapse in concentration meant he was late setting off for what the Mike Dove school of running coined an "easy one", out for a well played 9. Mayho fell victim to the second first baller of the day, LBW to Cardy. With the Mills 71-4 Horspath sensed a window, the window slammed shut when Lefort smoked Cardy through the covers for a wonderful 4, the Mills pair taking the score to 105 before Burney, who just passed his 50, gave his wicket away attempting to put Kulkarni into Hanborough, the skipper caught for 56.
Horspath would take another point before the end, Dove plumb off the bowling of Richardson for 2, Dove later confirming he "had no issues with the decision".
Pandurangan and Lefort saw the side home finishing on 1 and 12 not out respectively.
There are no more matches this season.

J. Patrick Boyer, Q.C. (born March 4, 1945) is a university professor, journalist, author, policy activist, publisher, and a former Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament (1984–1993).[1][2]
Before entering politics, Boyer was a partner in the Fraser & Beatty law firm in Toronto, where he specialized in communications law and electoral law. A major part of his practice was also in the Western Arctic as a member of the Northwest Territories Bar. When granted his Queen's Council designation, note was made of Boyer's contribution to the legal profession in authoring the definitive series of texts on Canadian election law at federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal levels.
Boyer earned a Master's degree in Canadian history and a Doctor of Laws (LLD) degree, both from the University of Toronto and gained an honours degree in economics and political science from Carleton University. He also studied French-Canadian literature at University of Montreal, and international law at the Academy of the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
Politics. From his earliest years, Patrick Boyer hoped to be a member of parliament, influenced no doubt by the dynamic atmosphere of politics he experienced after his father Robert Boyer became a member of Ontario's legislature in 1955 when Patrick was ten.
As a university student in Ottawa during the 1960s Patrick worked on Parliament Hill for Quebec MP Heward Grafftey, then for Opposition Leader Robert Stanfield, and in the early 1970s at Queen's Park as Ontario Attorney General Arthur Wishart's executive assistant. In 1983, Boyer was named executive director of the federal government's Task Force on Conflict of Interest by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and worked closely with co-chairs Mitchel Sharp and Michael Starr writing its groundbreaking 1984 report Ethical Conduct in the Public Sector.
Boyer was first elected to Parliament in 1984, representing Toronto's Etobicoke—Lakeshore riding as a Progressive Conservative supporting the government of Brian Mulroney. As an MP, he chaired three separate committees -- on election law reform, equality rights, and the status of disabled persons. In 1989, Boyer was appointed parliamentary secretary to External Affairs Minister Joe Clark, and in 1991 became parliamentary secretary to Minister of National Defence Marcel Masse.
While the Mulroney Government negotiated major constitutional changes, Boyer, a strong advocate of enhanced democracy and the role of citizens in self-government, said "Constitutions belong to the people, not to governments" and campaigned for a referendum to ratify proposed changes. He repeatedly introduced, as a private member, referendum legislation in the Commons. It was significantly due to Boyer's efforts that the Charlottetown Accord of 1992 was submitted to a public referendum.
In 1993 he was named Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry, Science and Technology, to the Deputy Prime Minister, and to the Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs.
That same year, Boyer ran for the leadership of the Progressive Conservatives following the announcement of Mulroney's retirement. His leadership campaign was fought largely around the issue of strengthening Canadian public life through more vigorous democratic processes. He sought to re-orient the Progressive Conservative Party as the Democratic Conservative Party, and published his policies in an English-language book entitled Hands-On Democracy and a French-language book La democratie pour tous. The leadership was won by Kim Campbell, who led the party to its historic 1993 defeat. Only two Tory MPs retained their seats in that election, and Boyer, although coming second closest of all PCs in Ontario, was not one of them.
In 2001, he unsuccessfully sought the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario provincial nomination in the riding of Parry Sound—Muskoka for a by-election to replace retiring MPP Ernie Eves.
In March 2007, Boyer was again nominated as the Conservative Party of Canada candidate for the riding of Etobicoke—Lakeshore. He ran in the 2008 federal election but lost to Michael Ignatieff by 5,783 votes.
During the Ontario electoral reform referendum, 2007 Patrick Boyer was a leading member, along with Senators Hugh Segal and Nancy Ruth, Hon. Janet Ecker, and Rick Anderson, of Conservatives for the proposed reform of Ontario's electoral system from "first-past-the-post" to "mixed-member proportional."
Academics. Following his departure from politics, Boyer began teaching a new course at the University of Toronto, offered in both the Faculty of Law and the Department of Political Science, "The Law of Canadian Democracy." In 1999 and 2000 he taught two courses in Canadian Constitutional Law at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario. He was made a faculty member of the Department of Political Science at the University of Guelph, Ontario, where he taught courses on politics, accountability, democracy, and ethics. He became executive director of the university's new Centre for Leadership Studies. He also taught modern Ontario history at York University.
Corinne B.G. Boyer. Boyer's first wife, Corinne, succumbed to ovarian cancer at age 57 in 1995. She had prevailed in two prior battles with cancer, a malignant melanoma in 1979 and a breast tumor in 1991, before entering a long twilight struggle with ovarian cancer. Undaunted, Corinne often said, "I've got the cancer, the cancer does not have me." She had spent years crusading for women's rights, endangered species, and the environment. In the years before she died, and largely because of her own experiences with cancers afflicting females, she fought for increased funding for women's health research. In 1997, Patrick Boyer founded the Corinne Boyer Fund which was dedicated to advancing research into ovarian cancer, improving detection and treatment, and raising awareness of the disease in Canada. In 1998, the Corinne Boyer Fund and the University of Ottawa established the Corinne Boyer Chair in Ovarian Cancer Research and Treatment, within the Faculty of Medicine. In 1999, the organization's name was changed to National Ovarian Cancer Association, now Ovarian Cancer Canada. In June 2014, at a ceremony in Vancouver, Patrick was presented the Virginia Greene Award for Leadership on Ovarian Cancer. He remains actively committed to the cause.
Elise Marie Boyer. On March 15, 2013, Patrick eloped with Elise Marie Belanger in Vancouver. Elise, from Timmins in Northern Ontario, was the first female forester with Ontario Hydro, attended Laurentian University, and is a strong athlete, gardener and gourmet chef, and natural entrepreneur. For a decade she owned and operated VERANDA in historic downtown Huntsville, providing designer services and selling quality indoor and outdoor furniture and furnishings. After marriage to Patrick, Elise relocated to Bracebridge and opened a new VERANDA store in the historic Odd Fellows building on Main Street, which she has fully restored as a heritage structure. Elise also operates the business side of Muskoka Books, a publishing and book retailing operation she shares with Patrick.
Boyer is a past president of the Couchiching Institute on Public Affairs, a member of the Canadian Pugwash Group, and chairman of Pugwash Thinkers' Lodge in Nova Scotia.
He founded the Corinne Boyer Fund for Ovarian Cancer Research and Treatment.
He became founding president of Breakout Educational Network, a not-for-profit public policy organization that examines Canadian fiscal and foreign policy from the perspective of citizens. Breakout has produced television documentaries, published books, and held public forums on campuses and in classrooms. Today, Boyer is Breakout's Chair of Education.
He has worked overseas on democratic development projects in Cambodia, Iraq, Vietnam, Thailand, Ukraine, and Bulgaria. At various times he has travelled extensively in Central and South America.
A well-known advocate of proportional representation, he is a member of the National Advisory Board of Fair Vote Canada and has been a guest speaker at their conferences. He is a strong advocate for abolition of the unaccountable Canadian Senate as a costly colonial relic.[3]
Throughout Boyer's career in and out of elected politics, he has authored more than twenty books, many hundreds of feature articles, and a continuous stream of newspaper columns. Among the books are Our Scandalous Senate (2014) Lawmaking by the People (1981), The People's Mandate (1992), Direct Democracy In Canada (1993) and Boyer's Ontario Election Law (1996). He also authored the definitive Canadian legal texts on election law, covering all aspects of national, provincial and municipal voting in Canada. For a full listing of books by J. Patrick Boyer, see "Bibliography" below.
As a book publisher, Boyer owns and operates "Muskoka Books" and for several years also owned and operated the independent publishing company "Blue Butterfly Books", which published many prestigious and engaging works of fiction and non-fiction. Three years ago, Boyer consolidated Blue Butterfly's publishing operations with those of Dundurn, now Canada's largest independent publishing house, where he is Editor-at-Large for books of politics and history, as well as General Editor for Dundurn's new Point of View line of books. Dundurn president Kirk Howard also established a "J. Patrick Boyer" imprint within the firm's repertoire.

So I just pulled up my page to make sure it was still here, and realized it's been exactly one month since my last post. So, let's see…
I've changed the Lust page to a Camera page and a PC page, as all of my material lust seemed to be focused in those two directions. (And it corrected the disturbing issue from my last post.)
The Orangeburg has been replaced! I'd show you pictures, but there's not much to see. Mainly a bunch of dirt where there used to be grass.
Work is… the same. That's a good thing.
The Lovely Wife's work is… almost done. She's about to be off for the Summer, and I have to say I'm looking forward to her doing all the work around the house that I've been putting off for months.
And really… that's about it. Life has been pretty peaceful of late, which makes for a good life but a boring webpage. Really, who needs to read, " Mowed the grass today. Ate a sandwich. Drank a beer. Watched "Dancing With The Stars." Went to bed."? I can't even justify that as a journal entry to my future self.
As a challenge to myself I'll commit to making a post a day until next Friday, and I'll try to make it more substantial than 7 YouTube links. But I'm not promising anything.

January is National Safety Month in the ski industry and we are excited to raise awareness about different practices of how to be safe on the slopes. Every weekend we will be offering guests a chance to win cool prizes if they join us on a Safety Quest around the resort. The guests will have to visit all 6 different stations and turn in their card at the end of the day to win the prizes. We have partnered with Smith Optics to giveaway 2 helmets each day as well as Snowbasin Resort prizes that include deluxe tunes, gift cards, ½ off private lesson, ½ lift tickets, a dining discovery for two and more.
The guests who choose to partake on this Safety Quest will explore different aspects of the skier and rider responsibility code around the mountain on the weekends. Guests can pick up the Safety Quest card at the base area booth starting at 8:30 am and have to turn in their card by 3:00 pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, we will offer free cookies and hot cocoa in the morning while we talk about our SAFERmtn Team, where to go for the Safety Quest, Park Smarts, Sun Smarts, "Ride Another Day" and other key safety topics to think about while out on the slopes.
There will be five booths on the mountain will run from 10:30 am – 1:00 pm
Booth 1 is located at the top of Littlecat Express where our Snowbasin staff will be talking about lids on kids and lift safety.
Booth 2 is located at top of Needles Gondola where our Snowbasin Ski Patrol will be talking about on-mountain signage, the code and trail etiquette.
Booth 3 is located at the bottom of Herbert's where the Snowbasin Ski Patrol will be at the beacon park to help guests do beacon drills and host dog demos at 1 pm. Something to make sure not to miss!
Booth 4 is located at the top of Blue Grouse where our Terrain Parks staff will be talking about our terrain parks and safety in our terrain parks.
Booth 5 is located at the top of the new "Family Zone" where our Snowsports instructors will be talking about skiing and riding in control and who has the right away when on the mountain.
At each booth, the guests will receive a punch on their card and can bring the completed card (6 punches) back down to the base area booth by 3:00 pm. We ask the guests to write legibly so we can notify them if they win.
Looking forward to raising awareness about safety on the mountain and continue to grow our SAFERmtn Team.

Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary of blogging!!!
I never would have thought I'd be A) a blogger and B) have kept at this for a whole year! I'm glad that I have this outlet (sort of speak) to release a lot of my creative juices! Sure, there are days where the last thing I want to do is sit on the computer and blog or pick up my camera and take photos, but I've learned to have balance, it's defiantly something I enjoy and I think it's important to do the things that make you happy. I'm a little under the weather today and sore from my post Warrior Dash, so I'm sorry I haven't put a lot of thought into this post. But I'm so happy to have loyal followers and people who support me! So this is to all of you, thank you for listening!
As a side note, it's only fitting I tell you that I'm taking another Photography Class (through NECC)! After having a conversation with my mom, she had asked if I was taking another class and I told her no…but then got around to thinking about why I wasn't (then said 'why not') and changed my mind! This blog is the outcome from taking the first class, so you never know what might come out of taking this class…so I had to jump at the opportunity! This class is more focused on Portrait/Wedding & Photojournalism so I can't wait to learn more! I'm hoping this opens some more doors for me, or at least opens my eyes to the doors I should be looking for! I just can't believe a whole year has gone by, it seemed like it went by so fast and yet not fast enough. This journey is not done and I'm excited to see where another year of blogging & photography will take me!

"Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world."
Philippians 2:14-15
We would definitely shine as lights in the world if we did things without murmurings and disputings. Wow. I don't know if I have ever done *anything* without murmuring and disputing. :) I like that it says we would be blameless and harmless... I think those are two very good things to strive for, to me especially the harmless part. I want to make this world better, not worse... not harm anyone's life. I don't think that I am very good at that, but perhaps working on murmuring and disputing will help. :) I'm sure that it is part of becoming a Zion people... and if we really get to the point where we don't murmur or dispute, then we will be great examples to other people and help to build Zion. Shining as lights... I like that part too. I think I have some work to do today. :)

Awesome read! Loved it. Fresh writing, the style flows well, can't wait for the next one. Especially like the spiritual aspect of this story.
An action-packed thriller with plenty of food for thought! With its devilish twists and turns, a suicidal lawyer and his explosive family, redheads and thugs, "Judging Angels" keeps you on your toes wondering what will happen next. But the action is dictated by George Able - hero or anti-hero? - whose many quandaries lead him to any number of flawed decisions, sowing destruction along the way. Tim Capps' writing is humorous and profound. Temptation, suicide, adultery, pride, murder and mayhem follow on each other's heels in a deeply moral, but never moralizing story. Plenty of violence and sin, but no vulgarity or complacency towards them... There's even an instance of life-giving love where you would least expect it. It's a book that's hard to put down, once you accept to put narrow-minded rationality aside. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

by Matthew de Marte – May 21st, 2018
Something happened this past weekend in the series between the Astros and the Rays. Something groundbreaking. Something we may look back upon as the official beginning of a revolution. On Saturday and Sunday, Kevin Cash deployed a unique strategy in deploying the Rays' arsenal of pitchers. Before the season, the Rays announced they would only use three traditional starting pitchers, and a fourth day would be a bullpen day. The idea was received with some pushback, but the ever-so-creative Rays are looking for any way to gain a competitive edge while playing against AL East clubs that have far greater financial resources. When you can only afford a payroll about 40% of your competitors, it is imperative that you have an advantage in another area, such as a cutting edge analytics department. This weekend, the Ray's analytics team may have discovered something new: The Opener. Sergio Romo, a traditional reliever, was used as the Rays' starting pitcher on Saturday and Sunday. Romo had never started a game in his career. He has only recorded more than 6 outs twice in his career and both occured in his Rookie campaign in 2008. Romo was not intended to work deep in the game, his job was to get through the first inning.
For those of you not aware of the concept of 'The Opener,' I suggest purchasing a copy of Brian Kenny's Ahead of the Curve. A proponent for bullpenning, Kenny goes into great detail on the subject, and can do a far greater job of explaining it than I can. My goal of this article is to explore how useful and effective this strategy can be for teams.
Before looking into how to analyze and deploy The Opener, let's take a look at Romo's performance this past weekend.
|May 19th
|May 20th
A sparkling debut for The Opener. The strategy worked out well for Kevin Cash. Romo was able to retire all three batters on Saturday and picked up four outs without allowing a run on Sunday. After his outing Saturday, Romo handed the ball off to Ryan Yarbrough who then threw 6.1 innings of excellent baseball and the Rays picked up the win. On Sunday, after another successful outing he handed the ball to Matt Andriese for their regularly scheduled bullpen day. So the strategy worked, but the question most of you are wondering in the first place is, why employ it in the first place? Well the answer is simple. The table below shows the average number of runs scored in the first and second innings across the MLB including all games through May 19th:
|Average Runs Scored
It does not take a mathematician to analyze the difference. Teams on average score 41.8% more in the first inning than the second. To look beyond 2018, and at more of baseball history, this graphic taken from an article by Beyond the Box scores (1) showcases how much above or below average teams generally score in an inning over the expected number of runs scored in an average inning:
This data accounts for ten seasons, and it tells the same story that the table above told; teams score a ton more runs in the first inning than the second inning. There could be many causes to this, among them; a team's best hitters generally all hit in the first inning, and the theory that starting pitchers need time to settle in. Whatever the case is, hitters feast off starting pitchers in their opening frame at-bats..
There is more incentive for teams to go with The Opener. The trend in recent years is that starting pitchers' outings are being shortened. As bullpens become increasingly harder to hit, teams are doing whatever it takes to shorten games as much possible to get to their back end relievers. The following graphic shows the average length of starts in innings since 2010:
In the past four seasons, average start length has shrunk from 6.0 innings in 2014 to 5.5 innings in 2018. While it may not seem very significant, it surely is. While teams have been shortening the game to get their relievers in the game as soon as possible, have they been looking to shorten the game through the wrong lens? The chart from Baseball Reference showed that teams generally scored much more than expected in the first inning, and much less than expected in the eighth and ninth inning. This makes sense because teams' best relievers generally have always thrown in the eighth and ninth innings as set-up men and closers. In 2018, most teams have multiple relievers capable of serving as the set-up man on any given day. Knowing that, instead of shortening the game, and having your starting pitcher throw innings 1-5, it makes sense to employ a reliever to record the first three outs. Then bring in the pitcher who gets stretched out longer and allow him to work deeper into the game and shorten the time it takes to use your relief ace.
Another argument for using The Opener is simply that relievers are better at preventing runs than traditional starting pitchers. Entering play on May 20th in 2018, starting pitchers are allowing an average of 0.503 runs per innings pitched. We know they are allowing 0.583 runs on average in the first inning alone as well. In 2018, relievers are allowing 0.479 runs per inning. Therefore, relievers on average allow 4.77% less runs per inning which could save teams precious runs in the first inning that ultimately will help win them ball games.
Scoring first has always been advantageous in baseball. In 2010, Bleacher Report ironically titled To the Sabermetric Know-It-Alls: The One Stat You Don't Know That Matters Most, Darrell Horwitz had the statistic I was looking for. He analyzed teams' chances of winning based off who scored first. Horwitz found that from 2000-2009 the team that scored first won on average in every season between 64%-67% of the time, which is a pretty overwhelming advantage considering a team that wins 64% of its games win 104 games in a 162 game season. Following this statistic, scoring first is crucial. However, what may be even more important is preventing the other team from scoring first. Knowing all of this information, it makes sense to start a relief pitcher with the goal of having him throw one inning and then handing the ball off to a pitcher who can throw 5+ innings.
One last thing to take into consideration is this quote from Angels 3B Zack Cozart:
You can think it is bad for baseball, or that it is weird, but that is not going to stop the Rays from using The Opener. Maybe these things are true. There is no concrete way to utilize a pitching rotation. No rulebook to it. If a team finds something that makes an opposing team feel uncomfortable, that alone is reason to prove it is a viable and useful strategy. Cozart's quote supports this, and if he thinks its bad for baseball and it throws him off for one at bat, then The Opener did its job.
This past weekend, the Rays may have changed baseball history. If there is an impending revolution, it will be long and slow. I am not convinced every starting pitcher needs The Opener. I certainly would not employ The Opener on nights where pitchers such as Corey Kluber, Clayton Kershaw, and Max Scherzer pitch to name a few. With that being said, any starting pitcher who struggles to get through a lineup more than twice, you bet that their employers should be utilizing The Opener on nights these pitchers take the mound.
The Opener may not be utilized by every team in 2018. The Rays may not use it again in 2018. The groundwork has been laid though. The Opener can work, and it is not hard to imagine a world where every organization uses this. In a world where every team is looking for a competitive edge, the Rays just showcased to the rest of the league what baseball's next competitive edge may be.

Ghost Stories (2017) starring Andy Nyman and Martin Freeman
Three tales of spectral chills
This supernatural horror anthology is adapted from a stage play of the same name. Andy Nyman (who, alongside Jeremy Dyson, co-wrote and co-directed both this film and its source) plays Professor Goodman, who has dedicated his life to exposing various supernatural and psychic frauds via his TV programme. His idol is Charles Cameron, a parapsychologist who mysteriously disappeared after a recent automobile accident. Goodman manages to trace him to a dismal coastal caravan park.
When they finally meet face-to-face, however, Cameron tells him that his long-held skepticism towards the paranormal has all been a lie. He sets his younger descendant a task: to disprove three unexplained cases of ghostly manifestations. With blue paper file in hand, Goodman heads out to interview the three hauntees. Each one tells their respective story via flashback.
The first, Mike Priddle (Paul Whitehouse), used to work as a night watchman at a storehouse which was formerly an insane asylum for women. He had to leave after experiencing some rather creepy goings-on. The second, Simon Rifkind, is an adolescent who took his parent's car out one night under the false pretence of having passed his driving test. Whilst being distracted talking on his mobile with his mother and father, he ran over a mysterious creature which turned out to be distinctively demonic in appearance. The final, Tony Matthews (Martin Freeman) is a wealthy stock market trader who encountered a terrifying spirit while his wife was giving birth in hospital.
Moreover, while Goodman remains adamant that there are rational explanations for what happened to these three hapless individuals, he himself starts glimpsing various mysterious figures lurking around him, amongst them being a man in a dark green hooded coat.
Watch a trailer:
A promising play-to-film adaptation
Despite being an adaptation of a play, Ghost Stories proves to be largely successful in sidestepping staginess - especially considering that it is Dyson and Nyman's big-screen directorial debut. This is evident right from the start as some hazy, bittersweet flashbacks chronicle Goodman's time growing up in a Jewish family. The recreations of the age-faded 1970s TV programme presented by Charles Cameron are similarly effective, capturing the dismal trappings of this era in British history with unnerving accuracy. The scenes involving Goodman's interviews with the various haunting victims do betray the inherent talkiness of its stage roots but ultimately act as little more than the setup for the recreated supernatural encounters.
There's a solid grasp on atmosphere and effectively-deployed shocks, particularly during the first of the three stories. While many of the scare tactics are nothing new (sudden noises, a room full of mannequins, the power going off at inopportune moments and so on), Dyson and Nyman display a fine understanding of what made them work so well in the first place. They make some bone-chillingly effective use of the reduced visibility within the pitch-black environs of the former asylum. The second and third stories are slightly less startling but still work well enough.
The performances are, for the most part, decent. Nyman plays his professional skeptic in a matter that is both sympathetic and mildly arrogant. Comedian Paul Whitehouse ably handles a more serious role as a disenchanted Middle Englander dealt further damage by his spectral experiences. Best of all, however, is Martin Freeman, who displays the kind of assured genre affinity that Hammer icons like Christopher Lee used to make their own. There's one actor who has been saddled with some pretty awful "old man" prosthetics - but thankfully only for a few minutes' worth of screen time.
Ultimately unsatisfying
Despite all of its fine qualities, however, Ghost Stories fails in one major factor which is readily associated with the finest portmanteau horrors: its payoff. Indeed, the three individual stories don't really have much of a payoff per se, over and above "that was really scary". There's a wider wraparound story with a vaguely "moral" twist in the tale. However, even this feels somewhat underwhelming because there is little sense that the three episodes feed into the twist or properly illuminate it. Indeed, the main achievement of this climactic revelation (while I won't give it away) is that it basically highlights how they are little more than empty exercises in spookiness.
Ghost Stories achieves that rather frustrating mix: as a horror film, it's decent enough that it can't be wholeheartedly dismissed, yet it is never quite satisfying enough to reach true greatness. The fact that its release clashes with A Quiet Place doesn't help its cause, either.

Hey, Chris: Shut the Door on Your Way Out!
These abyssmal numbers are worth noting because Cohan yesterday announced that the team is for sale. Finally. He has ignored overtures in the past from those interested in buying, but no longer. The Chronicle notes that Cohan's cash flow is not what it should be, that the IRS nailed him for more than $160 million in back taxes&penalties three years ago.
Cohan was a minority owner of the Warriors until he sued the previous ownership tandem of Dan Finnane and Jim Fitzgerald to gain control of the franchise, prior to the start of the 1994-95 season. For the players, and the fans, he could not have picked a worse time.
The Warriors had just completed an exciting and successful 50-32 season, led in part by the NBA Rookie of the Year, the charismatic Chris Webber. The head coach, Don Nelson, couldn't get along with Webber, who was a proud young man, but hardly unreasonable. Webber simply did not like being publicly ridiculed by Nelson, who had a penchant for doing just that to rookies, who typically took the abuse without complaint, which Webber failed to do.
Nelson was so inflexible on this point that he completely ignored the wise words from trusted colleagues Al Attles and Ed Gregory, among others, who advised him strongly to sit down with Webber, and work out their differences together for the good of the franchise, which was on the verge of becoming a legit NBA power. Instead, Nelson traded his Franchise Player, and that set the team on a downward spiral, out of control, that continues to this day. Webber, meantime, re-surfaced in Sacramento, and led the Kings to a glorious run of success, nearly making the NBA Finals, before losing to the Lakers in overtime of game seven of the Western Conference Finals.
Cohan, although he has never admitted it publicly, allowed Nelson to make the Webber trade, because he didn't have the balls to stand up to him and say no, which Finnane and Fitzgerald surely would have done. They would have said, "Nellie, sit down with Chris, and work this out, or you're gone!" Cohan was a wimp. He failed to understand how critical Webber was to the Warriors long-term success. And yet, a few years later, during an interview with Robert Bronstein on KICU-TV, Cohan claimed that he had no role whatsoever in the Webber trade, that he took over the team after Webber was dealt. That's an outright lie. Cohan precided over the news conference, announcing the trade. He sat with Nelson. He opened the news conference. He occasionally interrupted reporters' questions (including my own), in an absolutely pitiful attempt to defend the deal. And then, with Bronstein, he claimed to have had no role. Pathetic.
Since then, he has hired the wrong people, fired the wrong people, and become such a recluse that he actually ran away from then-Chronicle columnist CW Nevius, who tried to interview him years ago when the NBA All-Star game came to Oakland. He also got booed by his own home fans, when introduced during a halftime on-court ceremony. It might have seemed a bit cruel to some, at the time, but really, who can blame the fans? They have paid countless dollars to support this team over the years, and all they want is competent ownership, and a consistently competitive team. For the last 16 years, they haven't had any of the former, and very little of the latter.
So, who's going to buy the Warriors? Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has made no secret of his interest. He can certainly afford it. He does not like losing. He is obviously far more likely than Cohan ever was to put the proper people in place to run this organization like it should be run. So, here's hoping he can pull off the purchase. Or, if not him, somebody else with the financial resources and smarts to put this franchise back on the road to success, where it was when Cohan took it over 16 years ago, and where it has rarely traveled since.
