Memorial Day Weekend Movie Guide

hangover part II
Warner Bros. Pictures

Since we can’t spend the entire Memorial Day weekend barbecuing, many Americans observe the day by hopping over to the local cinema to take in a blockbuster movie and some free air conditioning.

Different Player Dynamic Provided Learning Opportunity for Pella High Softball Coach

Posted By Sports On July 28, 2012 @ 6:00 am In Today’s Local Sports | Comments Disabled

Coaches are expected to provide guidance and leadership to their players, but the teaching part of any game is often a two-way street. This past season, Pella High softball coach Krista DeMeulenaere said she learned a new skill set from her players while she got to know the personality of her team as a whole. In a recent interview with KNIA/KRLS Sports, DeMeulenaere said the unique experience for her as a coach this past season came from learning how to separate effort from emotion.

“They were not emotional-type of players – which are the type of players we’ve had in the past. For me, personally, that was kind of a challenge for me, because I’m sort of an emotional style of coach. I had to figure out how to adapt to them, and these young ladies taught me so much about how you can still dig deep without showing emotion up front,” said DeMeulenaere.

“They taught me how to do that, and I think that’s what I will take away from these young ladies; how on the outside it may not appear like they’re playing with emotion – they certainly are. You don’t have seven come-from-behind wins without digging deep and playing from your heart and playing with emotion.”

The Lady Dutch closed out the 2012 regular season with a five-game win streak – two of which were come-from-behind victories. In all, the Pella High softball team was 19-11 overall and finished in a tie for third in the Little Hawkeye Conference at 8-4.

• Costing technique in clothing industry:

In order to achieve perfect garment costing, one must know about all the activities including purchase of fabrics, sewing, packing, transport, overheads, etc and also about their costs, procedures, advantages and risk factors, advocates C Vigneswaran.
As the MFA quota-regime ended, we presented many opportunities for buyers, suppliers and investors to collaborate with its textile industry, and to profit from the partnership. While the industry recorded a remarkable growth in a protected market environment, it faces a series of challenges that have come to the fore in the post-quota situation, notably in areas such as:
  • Price competitiveness.
  • Faster lead times.
  • High raw material base.
  • Full service offering.
  • Access to market. "A Cost is the value of economic resources used as a result of producing or doing the things costed".
Garments costing
There are two types of garments, namely woven and knitted garments. Shirt, trouser, sarees, bed spreads, blankets, towels and made ups are woven. T-shirts, sweaters, undergarments, pyjamas and socks are knits.

Costing is the deciding factor for fixing of prices and the important thing to follow in all stages like purchase, production, marketing, sales, etc. Also update knowledge about everything related to garments, is essential to make perfect costing.

Costing includes all the activities like purchase of fabrics and accessories, processing and finishing of fabrics, sewing and packing of garments, transport and conveyance, shipping, over heads, banking charges and commissions, etc.

We must be aware that there are always fluctuations in the costs of raw materials and accessories, charges of knitting, processing, finishing, sewing and packing, charges of transport and conveyance. The method of making costing will vary from style to style. As there are many different styles in garments. Hence let us take men's basic T-shirt style as example which is in regular in use.

To find out the costing of a garment, the following things should things be calculated:
  • Fabric consumption.
  • Gross weight of other components of garment.
  • Fabric cost per kg.
  • Fabric cost per garment.
  • Other charges (print, embroidery, etc).
  • Cost of trims (labels, tags, badges, twill tapes, buttons, bows, etc).
  • CMT charges.
  • Cost of accessories (hangers, inner boards, polybags, cartons, etc).
  • Cost of a garment.
  • Price of a garment.

Chocolate & Vicodin

What a great combo, eh?

Sorry for the second post du jour two days in a row. (I'm just trying to increase my blog hits, heh. Not really!)

My friend Jennette has written her second book and it's nearly ready for release. I pre-ordered it in November, and can't wait to read it, even though I don't suffer from constant, unrelenting headaches.

I bought her first book because we had something in common: We were both trying to lose weight. She was much more successful than I've been, but I don't hold that against her. I ordered her second book because I like the way she writes and because I want her to be successful. Not that my one little book order is going to tip the scale, but every purchase helps.

Anyhoo, she wrote on her blog today about the process of creating the book trailer for Chocolate & Vicodin. I will confess right here and right now that I've never watched a book trailer before. It never occurred to me to watch a video in order to convince myself I should read a book.

Jennette invited her readers to embed her trailer into their blogs, so I am. That's the beauty of high-speed internet – YouTube is a whole new world of time-sucking entertainment. I think the trailer is clever and creative and a good way to sell you on the idea of buying and reading her book.

Aw, thanks for posting my trailer on your blog! I really appreciate it. Thanks for buying the book, too. I appreciate the support. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi! Do you have considered putting the encoding jsp-descriptor param in the web.xml corresponding section? You must do that and your troubles down. It's a suit solution, but I don't know if you have tried.

Bird Brains talk Aug. 7

Jul 26, 2014
Wind Over Wings will present a program about Bird Brains, Thursday, Aug. 7 at Rockland Public Library.

Rockland — There is nothing common about the common raven. The raven is considered one of the most intelligent of avian species. It mates for life and is often seen soaring high in the sky, a magnificent flier. This is a resourceful and remarkable bird that learns new behavior in different situations. The raven is an active forager, scavenger, and hunter. Ravens have elaborate courtship flights with a great display of acrobatics and pair flying. The raven is a revered totem and spirit to many Native Americans.

Wind Over Wings will present the raven, the Golden Eagle, the American Kestrel (falcon), and a parrot for the program, Bird Brains, Thursday, Aug. 7, at 6 p.m. at Rockland Public Library. They will discuss adaptability, play, and how each of these species have survived in spite of difficulties.

Wind Over Wings is a nonprofit raptor education service featuring birds unable to be released back to the wild due to injury. Each bird has a story and each is an individual. Imagine the wonder of being a few feet away from a magnificent Golden Eagle.

This is one in a continuing Thursday series of literary, film and cultural offerings sponsored by Rockland Public Library and the Friends of the Rockland Public Library. The Friends Community Room is located in the lower level of the library at 80 Union St.. Admission is free. For more information, please call the library at 594-0310.

The Xbox Listing For Double Dragon II Looks Like It Came Straight Out Of Google Translate

This is the actual listing for the Double Dragon II remake that hit Xbox Live today. It's... quirky. Microsoft's translation robots need some new batteries.

"Also, characters are undressed from 80's style, and recreated with modern sexy and beautiful style that amaze you and feel never been experienced world before."

Assassin's Creed: Revelations Will Include, Surprise, Major Revelations

To hear the creative director of this fall's Assassin's Creed Revelations put it in a recent interview with Game Informer, the next Assassin's Creed will actually merit its subtitle. Questions will be answered. What kind of questions?

Read on, only if you've played Assassin's Creed II and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

Oh, but if you're about to bail, you might at least like to know that Alexandre Amancio also says—possibly stating the obvious—that "Assassin's Creed III will be about another character." The thinking is that each numbered AC game introduces a new assassin: Altair in the first, Ezio in the second, someone new in III.

Okay? Mild spoiler time... run away, unspoiled non-players of ACII and AC:B

In his interview with Game Informer, Amancio says:

We decided in this opus of the franchise to actually give the players a lot of the answers that they've sort of been thirsting for ever since AC II. A lot of things were set up with Minerva, with Juno, a lot of the details about the end-of-the-world plot line in 2012—as we're getting closer and closer to the actual 2012 marker, the franchise is also concluding its major opus. So this game is sort of where we're setting all the record straight. We're sort of closing all of the loops that have been started. .., We're going to reveal not only a lot of stuff about the first civilization plot-line, but we're actually going to conclude the Ezio, the Altair storylines, and we're going to sort of explain why Ezio is such an important character for the franchise, what his actual role is in all of that plotline, what role Altair plays in that destiny, and, ultimately what role Desmond plays in all that stuff.

Experienced players surely realize that this is no small promise. In ACII and AC:B we've had the mysterious god-like Minerva and Juno, both possibly representatives of some precursor civilization on Earth, tell Ezio and Desmond about the impending end of the world. They've said some shifty things that have called into question whether our hero assassin's are doing the right thing.

This is a series that has implied that even Adam and Eve were somehow tied up in the saga that has led to the adventures of all of the Assassin's Creed answers. Those of us who have been playing certainly have a lot of questions. We're actually getting answers in Revelations? That's a welcome surprise.

Check out the rest of GI's video with Amancio for more details about how Revelations is being made and about his intriguing goals of improving the series convergence of narrative and gameplay. He's set some lofty goals.

Hello Kitty Says "Hello" to LingerieSanrio, maker of all things Kitty, is joining forces with underwear maker Hanky Panky for a line of Hello Kitty intimates.

Lingerie featuring the iconic Japanese character (who is really British!) will cost anywhere between US$27 and US$98, depending on the piece.

According to Sanrio's David Marchi, "A lot of people think this is jut a brand for kids and teens, but many women 18 years and older have grown up with Hello Kitty and can relate to the brand in a more adult way."

Relating in a more adult way? Gives a whole new meaning to Hello Kitty.

NatGeo's Brilliant Doomsday Preppers Game is Tiny Tower, Only Underground

NatGeo's Doomsday Preppers is a documentary series about people preparing for the end of the world, hording supplies, learning survival skills and building elaborate shelters in the hopes that when the big day comes the four horse-persons of the apocalypse might pass them by. In celebration of tomorrow's launch of the show's second season, G5 Games has created an incredibly appropriate video game tie-in.

Available now on iTunes, Doomsday Preppers the game is the incredibly addictive and oft-copied Tiny Tower, only instead of building up the player is digging down, crafting sub-floors dedicated to security, shelter, recreation, crafting, food processing and science. Preppers line up on the surface, ready to descend the elevator and be assigned a task. Delivery men show up with supplies, and they never leave—they just mysteriously disappear. I'm guessing they are being used for food.

Say what you will about cloning winning formulas, this is the only way a Doomsday Preppers game would have made sense, and it works amazingly well.

As an added bonus, codes for game content will be distributed during new episodes of the show, giving fans extra-incentive to play what they watch and watch what they play. Very well done.

Kids Versus Global Warming

Kids go to court to protest state’s inaction on climate change

A King County Superior Court judge is set to hear arguments this afternoon, in a case brought by kids about climate change.  The young plaintiffs, who filed complaints against the Governor and several state agencies last May, are seeking an effective climate recovery plan from government.  The State has filed a motion to dismiss the case.

Today’s hearing is part of an international youth campaign launched by the iMatter Trust.  Young people have filed legal actions across the nation as well as a federal lawsuit to compel governments to protect and restore the atmosphere.  According to the organization’s website, a federal hearing has not been set.

The iMatter Trust was started by Kids vs Global Warming, a non profit project of the Earth Island Institute.  The project was started by Alec Loorz, a junior in high school in California.  Loorz began addressing the issue of global warming with colleagues of his generation four years ago after watching An Inconvenient Truth.

John’s Thursday Afternoon Forecast

Aside from some lingering snow over the higher peaks of the Northern Mountains, showers will be wrapping up across northern New Mexico.

The high winds will continue, especially across eastern New Mexico, throughout the afternoon. Wind advisories are in place for areas just east of the central mountain chain, extending into east central New Mexico. Those wind advisories expire at 8:00 pm. Winds will be coming down through the evening and overnight.

Friday will feature less wind, but breezy conditions will still persist across much of the state. Another weak storm will be passing farther north through Colorado. Spot snow will be possible over the northern high terrain, but little to no additional accumulation is expected with this storm.

The winds finally relax for Saturday as a weak ridge builds into the state. More sunshine and warming temps will be the trend through Sunday. However, winds will start to pick back up across the east on Sunday as a westerly flow sets up. Winds will continue to be an issue early next week as storms pass to the north. Combined with warm temperatures and dry conditions, fire weather will be a concern as we move into April.

Nuremberg Prosecutor Makes The Case For Trying Assad

Originally published on Sun September 8, 2013 11:40 am

Each week, Weekend Edition Sunday brings listeners an unexpected side of the news by talking with someone personally affected by the stories making headlines.

When he was just 27 years old, Benjamin Ferencz helped prosecute Nazi leaders in the Nuremburg war crimes trial after World War II. In the years since, the Harvard-educated lawyer has continued to focus on issues of international criminal justice.

As he considers the possibility the U.S. might launch strikes on Syria, Ferencz raises the idea of using the International Criminal Court to try Syrian President Bashar Assad for the alleged use of chemical weapons.

But, he tells NPR's Rachel Martin, "the United States has been opposed, unfortunately ... to using that court because we value our sovereignty and we want to decide for ourselves when we go to war and when we don't. A very, very dangerous practice, as we're now discovering."

Using the ICC to bring someone to justice can take years, something Ferencz admits he's not comfortable with. "I wish we could go into court and have a trial over in three days as I did in Nuremberg," he says.

"But the fact we are not comfortable is not the test. The test is whether it's just or not. Is it just for an individual in any country to conclude that some individual in another country is guilty of supreme crimes and therefore he should be punished, without a trial of any kind? Is that just?"

Stolen Las Cruces Dog Returned; Suspects Still At Large

Las Cruces – The Boston bulldog that was taken Aug. 31 at knifepoint from a 79-year-old good Samaritan has been located and returned to its owner.

Las Cruces Police detectives learned that a woman, who does not wish to be identified, spotted the dog on Saturday, Sept. 11, with a man she believed to be homeless. The woman contacted the Animal Service Center of the Mesilla Valley and the dog was confirmed to be the one stolen Aug. 31.

The dog appeared to be in good condition and was subsequently returned to its rightful owner.

Detectives learned that the dog was given to the homeless man by three young men. Those men are believed to be the same suspects who confronted the 79-year-old owner of the dog as he was helping a motorists jump-start a vehicle at 2215 N. Main St.

The 79-year-old man told detectives that one of the suspects, armed with a knife, lunged toward him and slashed his shirt while another suspect took the dog that was inside his pickup.

The victim was not physically injured during the incident.

Witnesses described the suspects as Hispanic men all wearing white T-shirts with black lettering. The three suspects left the area with the bulldog and headed westbound on foot.

If you have any information on the identity of the suspects you are asked to call Las Cruces Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or send a tip via text message to LCTIPS (528477).

The Crime Stoppers number and text messaging services are operational 24 hours a day and you do not have to give your name to collect a reward.

Wichita buildings nominated for National Register of Historic Places

Historic Wichita Apartments

Kansans react to same-sex marriage decisions

Supreme Court Marriage Decisions

[lin_video src=http://eplayer.clipsyndicate.com/embed/player.js?aspect_ratio=3×2&auto_next=1&auto_start=0&div_id=videoplayer-1372288553&height=400&page_count=5&pf_id=9623&show_title=1&va_id=4118508&width=640&windows=2 service=syndicaster width=640 height=400 div_id=videoplayer-1372288553 type=script]

WICHITA, Kansas – It’s the announcement Thomas Witt says he’s waited 10 years to hear.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court handed down two rulings.

One that will now allow federal benefits to married gay couples.

The other allowing gay marriages in California.

“I don’t think there were any tears except those of tears and joy all morning long everybody in the community is ecstatic with the rulings today,” said Thomas Witt, Executive Director of the Kansas Equality Coalition.

But not all are praising the ruling.

Republican Congressman Tim Huelskamp says the decision will hit children the hardest.

“This decision, the courts have allowed the desires of adults to trump the needs of children. Every child deserves a mommy and a daddy and with this decision they undercut the needs of our children,” he said.

Both sides are now asking what this ruling means for our state’s constitutional ban on gay marriage approved by voters in 2005.

Rick Levy, a constitutional law professor at the University of Kansas, says officially it means nothing for the sunflower state.

“There’s another part of DOMA which is another provision that says that states don’t have to recognize same-sex marriages that were approved by other states.”

However, Levy also believes this decision opens the door for same-sex couples to challenge the state’s refusal, similar to what happened in California.

For Witt, the decision is one step in the right direction but he says Kansas has a long way to go.

“Here in Kansas it is still legal to fire somebody for being gay, it is still legal to evict somebody for being a lesbian, it is still legal to refuse to serve somebody at a restaurant if you don’t like the fact that they are sitting too close to or holding hands,” said Witt.

Huelskamp and other conservative colleagues plan to challenge the Supreme Court’s action by introducing the Federal Marriage Amendment in Congress later this week.

Justin Timberlake’s tweet draws fans to NJ club

HOBOKEN, N.J. (AP) — Hundreds of people flooded the streets outside a New Jersey nightclub after Justin Timberlake took to social media about filming a commercial.

The singer tweeted on Wednesday: “Join me & @Target tonight for just one song. Let’s ‘Take Back the Night.’ First 150 get in. See you there!”

Fans jammed the street outside Maxwell’s in Hoboken (HOH’-boh-kehn), and police used loudspeakers to control the crowd.

The Jersey Journal (http://bit.ly/1fkeC27 ) reports that Timberlake’s wife, Jessica Biel, was spotted near his trailer.

The indie-rock club closed its doors in July after a 35-year run.

Syrian Rebel Commander: 'We Need A Lot Of Things'

Originally published on Tue July 2, 2013 6:12 pm

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.

And I'm Audie Cornish.

We're into July and still no date has been set for a peace conference on Syria. The United States and Russia announced plans for that conference back in May. And Secretary of State John Kerry met with his Russian counterpart again today, agreeing that it should be held soon.

SIEGEL: In the meantime, Syrian government forces have been making gains on the ground and the U.S. has pledged to send arms to the rebels.

Joining us now is General Salim Idris, who is the commander of the Syrian rebels. He defected from the Assad regime last summer and he's been seeking more arms from the U.S. He joins us today from Istanbul.

Welcome to the program, General Idris.

GENERAL SALIM IDRIS: Thank you. Thank you.

SIEGEL: President Obama recently approved supplying your forces with light arms. Have rebel forces in Syria seen the results of that decision yet?

IDRIS: Not yet. We received a lot of humanitarian support and medical support, and some technical equipment, and other kinds of support from the United States but not lethal materials yet.

SIEGEL: And when you say that you need more weapons, what is it that rebel forces need? What are the arms that you think you need to turn the tide?

IDRIS: We need anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, the shoulder-launched missiles, and traditional weapons and ammunition. We need a lot of things. And now we don't have enough weapons and ammunition to face the forces of the regime.

SIEGEL: Last month, the rebels lost the strategic town of Qusayr, right near the border with Lebanon. Hezbollah forces were fighting there on the side of the Assad regime. How big a setback was that for your side?

IDRIS: Yes, we lost al-Qusayr. And at the last week of the fight, the regime used very heavily the air force, supported by the long-distance artillery and the artillery of the tanks and the SCUD missiles. And in every minute, there were more than 18 to 20 missiles against that part of this town - every minute. And they destroyed really everything in the northern part of the town. And (unintelligible) they couldn't face a very, very powerful offensive because they were armed only with light Kalashnikovs.

And the issue of many, many injured inside the town forced them to withdraw and to go to the farms near al-Qusayr and to the villages beside it.

SIEGEL: But, General Idris, given the weapons and the foreign assistance that the Assad regime had in al-Qusayr, would shoulder-launched missiles and anti-tank weapons have actually made that great a difference in that fight? Or were you simply overpowered regardless of what the rebels were armed with?

IDRIS: Of course, we need these anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, and that would change a lot of things. But what happened in al-Qusayr was, it was better to go out of this town and to rebuild themselves to attack the regime forces elsewhere.

SIEGEL: So you're saying it was a tactical withdrawal from al-Qusayr. But can you actually imagine retaking that town, having the strength to oust the government from al-Qusayr?

IDRIS: Yes, our fighters now are in many villages around al-Qusayr. They are preparing themselves. They are organizing themselves. And the FSA are not like traditional or a regular army...

SIEGEL: The FSA, the Free Syrian Army, we should say.

IDRIS: Yes. Yes. We are not a regular army. We are battalions and brigades of civilian revolutionary forces. And we can't - in many, many battles we can't hold or control the locations. We have to fight as small groups to hit and run. It is better. But in al-Qusayr, we were forced to defend civilian people there. And now, I think, our forces near al-Qusayr are now fighting against the units of the regime in al-Qusayr.

SIEGEL: Can you imagine an end to the Syrian war in which one side decisively defeats the other on the battlefield? That is, either your side is crushed by the Assad regime, or you march triumphantly through the streets of Damascus having defeated the government? If not, don't you at some point have to negotiate with the regime some end to the fighting, a cease fire, a peace agreement for the country?

IDRIS: We are not really fighting to come to a point or to a time to defeat the regime totally, and to celebrate in the streets of Damascus. We are fighting to stop killing, to stop destruction. And when the regime is ready for negotiation and our conditions are: the murderer Bashar, this criminal president must leave power and must leave the country; and the commander of the security forces, and the commander of the army, they must be brought to justice. And then we can have a transitional government and soon...

SIEGEL: Well, how do you...

IDRIS: ...to rebuild - yes, sir.

SIEGEL: What will happen to convince President Assad that he should leave before there are peace talks, which is what you're saying? Why wouldn't he at least hold out for some face-saving, at least for some face-saving formula by which he would negotiate an end to his presidency?

IDRIS: Yeah, he is not acceptable. He can't have any role in the future of Syria. If they believe that the future of the country is important, they have to come to negotiate without Bashar.

SIEGEL: But who are they, if not Bashar, who would actually be the people you negotiate with?

IDRIS: Yes. Yes. In Syria, we have a lot of high-ranked employees in the government. And those who are not involved in killing and in giving order to kill the people and to destroy the country, they can come and negotiate.

SIEGEL: Well, General Salim Idris, commander of the Free Syrian Army, thank you very much for talking with us today.

IDRIS: Thank you. Thank you.

SIEGEL: And General Idris spoke to us from Istanbul in Turkey. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

McGuire Looks “Down” On Zach Parise

from Pierre McGuire at NBC Sports,
The hockey world should have known something special was coming in Parise when he scored 77 goals during the 2001-02 season for Shattuck-St. Mary's Prep in Minnesota. Then it was off to University of North Dakota, followed by one season in the AHL, and finally full-time duty with the Devils. Along the way the there were a lot of individual accolades, the greatest one being when he was named the MVP of the World Junior Hockey Championship when Team USA upset Team Canada for the Gold Medal. One of the things that I will always remember from that cold night in Helsinki in 2003-04 was Parise taking the time after the game, and before boarding the American's team bus, to find me in the arena to thank me for being positive about him and his teammates even though I was working for TSN a Canadian television network. I knew then and there that he had the focus and the intensity to be a star in the NHL.

View Bike to Work Day 2011 in a larger map

People who ride their bikes to work this Friday can take advantage of free food at various locations across town. The City of Austin provided this map of participating locations, but we thought it would be useful to see them on a zoomable Google Map that also allows you to plot your route.

Click on a location to see if they are open from 7 am to 9 am (marked AM) or from 4 pm to 7 pm (marked PM) or both (marked AM/PM).

Bike To Work Day was founded by the League of American Bicyclists as a way to promote cyclist commuting. You can read their brochure about the event here

If you live far away from work but still want to join in on the fun, Capital Metro has instructions for cyclists on how to take your bike on the bus.

Alleged cop impersonator has long criminal history

Leslie SimpsonENGLEWOOD, Colo. – A man allegedly pretending to be a police officer is behind bars and will face a judge Thursday morning.

Leslie Simpson’s rap sheet shows he was arrested two months ago for pretending to be a police officer in Denver. That case is still pending.

In Englewood, he allegedly approached two women in their car and showed a badge and ID card.

Records show Simpson, 36, is no stranger to the criminal justice system. He has been arrested 40 times for a number of felonies, including burglary, assault and theft. In February, police arrested him in Denver for a weapons violation and pretending to be an officer.

Friday, Simpson allegedly pretended to be an officer again, this time in downtown Englewood. Police say when they arrived, Simpson told officers he was a bail bondsman and told the two women, who were serving civil papers, to leave the area.

Police arrested Simpson, but they don’t believe he’s connected to other cases related in the Denver metro area.

“The fact that he asked her to get out of the car does concern us because there’s going to be some type of escalation in the contact,” Sheridan Police Chief Mark Campbell said.

In the past month, three fake traffic stops in Parker, Aurora and Sheridan have been reported to police. All three involved women and they all got away. With the cases unsolved, it makes some women nervous.

Police say if you suspect a fake traffic stop to go into a public place. Other things to look for are flashing lights, including the headlights and tail lights, police uniform, badge and ID.

If you suspect something suspicious about that person, police say to call 911.

That’s what the women did in the case in Englewood.

Simpson is due in court at 9 a.m.

Texas Judge Rules Abortion Law Unconstitutional

Oct 28, 2013
Originally published on October 29, 2013 11:15 am

In Texas, a federal judge has ruled that the state's new abortion restrictions are unconstitutional and will not take effect tomorrow as scheduled. The decision comes four months after Democratic candidate for governor, Wendy Davis, staged an 11-hour filibuster against the proposed constraints. Texas' attorney general expressed disappointment and vowed to appeal the federal judge's ruling.

NPR's Wade Goodwyn joins us now from Dallas to discuss the case. And, Wade, there were two parts to Judge Lee Yeakel's ruling. What did he say?

WADE GOODWYN, BYLINE: Well, he ruled that the state's new requirements that doctors and abortion clinics have admitting privileges in a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic were unconstitutional. Texas had argued that it was acting in defense of the fetus and the medical well-being of the mother. The state's rationale was that having admitting privileges would enhance communication between abortion doctors and emergency room physicians. But Judge Yeakel did not find that argument very compelling.

He pointed to testimony from emergency room doctors who testified in his court that there was absolutely no difference in the treatment of emergency room patients. It made no difference as to whether those patients' doctors had in hospital admitting privileges or not. And the judge pointed to the fact that in some regions of Texas, these new requirements would leave dozens of Texas counties without access to an abortion provider because their abortion doctors were not likely to get hospital admitting privileges. And therefore, that circumstance placed an undue burden on a woman's right to have access to an abortion and so it is unconstitutional.

CORNISH: And the judge did uphold some restrictions on medication abortions. What were the reasons there?

GOODWYN: Well, I mean, he did with some important caveats. When the FDA first approved abortions through medication 13 years ago, the agency relied on the then-established protocols at the time. Over time, though, the medical profession has lowered the initial dose of medication by a third and allowed the second dose of medication to be self-administered in the comfort of the woman's home a day or two later. This protocol has been working well and it allows the woman to make just one visit to the abortion clinic. And over the last decade, it's become what is known as the evidence-based protocol.

But Texas' new restrictions would require the woman to come to the abortion clinic three times, receive both doses at the clinic and receive the first dose of medication at the original high dose. The judge agreed with Planned Parenthood and its legal allies here that these new restrictions were a burden on women and perhaps less than ideal but that the new restrictions do not rise to the level of an unconstitutional burden on a woman's right to an abortion.

However, and this is a big however, the judge said if the woman's doctor wants to revert to the current medication abortion protocol because that doctor believes it furthers the preservation of their patient's health, the doctor can do so without fear of prosecution. And that's an exception you can drive a truck through.

CORNISH: Now, the ruling is considered a political victory for Planned Parenthood and their allies but the case isn't settled. So what happens next?

GOODWYN: Well, the state of Texas is appealing its decision as we speak to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. That's one of the most conservative appeals courts in the country and a place where Texas may well find relief from Judge Yeakel's ruling. But if Yeakel is reversed, there's little question, I think, that the case is then going to go the U.S. Supreme Court. It's evident that Texas is determined to push the envelope on ways it can restrict abortion in the state. This case pushes the boundaries and restrictions further than they've ever been. I suspect the Supreme Court is going to want to have the final say on this.

CORNISH: That's NPR's Wade Goodwyn in Dallas. Wade, thank you.

GOODWYN: It's my pleasure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Police handle screaming, naked man wielding sword

ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. (CNN/WAWS) — A bizarre incident in Florida unfolded when police were called to an apartment complex Saturday to handle a screaming naked man with a sword. A witness recorded video of the incident. This is what Jacob Jaquett saw as he was trying to help a friend move: a naked man with a 3- to 4-foot sword.

“I was, honestly, kind of scared because I didn’t know what he had with him or what was going on,” said Jaquett.

He says the man began charging people and screaming at them. You can hear him in the video. Still, the sheriff’s office could only say there was a call to service at this complex and couldn’t say anything else. The rest of the story was told to us by Jaquett, who says other members of the complex were able to get the man to put down the sword.

“Luckily, a man was there that was in the Navy, I think, and he kind of subdued the guy and, eventually, got him to drop the sword and then tackled him to the ground and waited until the cops came,” said Jaquett.

‘SNL’ Shows You the Early Years of Your Favorite Hip Hop Stars

SNL‘ always gets a lot of mileage out of celebrity impersonations, but it really shines when it take those impersonations and puts them into truly strange and unusual new circumstances, forcing you to look at your favorite (and least favorite) stars in a brand new light. Last night’s mid-season premiere took the usual formula and milked it for all that it was worth, resulting in the best sketch of the night: a look back at the TV careers of various hop hop artists before they hit it big.

Hosted by Sway (played by Kenan Thompson in a big hat), the fictional show at the center of the sketch sets out to examine the roles that your favorite rappers played before they stepped behind the mic. Of course, it’s all just an excuse to recreate iconic (and awful) TV shows with celebrity impersonations replacing a main character, but you can’t argue with the results. After all, how are we going to complain about a sketch that has guest host Drake playing Lil Wayne playing Steve Urkel on ‘Family Matters’? There’s also Taran Killam doing a solid Eminem (guest starring on ‘Felicity’) and Jay Pharoah pulling off 2 Chainz (who once starred in his own Disney Channel show). If you ever wanted to see the ‘Blossom’ opening titles recreated with Rihanna (played by new cast member Sasheer Zamata), this is your chance!

All in all, it’s funny stuff. Then again, it’s hard for ‘SNL’ to screw up a premise like this.

Save Hotel Babylon!

Why is it that if I like something, it goes away?!

Oh, to be the target demographic. Someone's target demographic.

Wondering what the delay was in bringing the third season* of Hotel Babylon to BBC America, I wrote to them and requested they bring it. Forthwith.

Their response

Thank you for taking the time to contact us. Unfortunately, we regret to inform you at this time, there are no plans to air "Hotel Babylon" on BBC America in the immediate future. However, please rest assured that BBC America takes the opinions of viewers such as yourself very seriously and, as such, we will forward your suggestion on to the appropriate department.

Well that sucks. They're showing it on BBC, why not BBC America?! We can get Gordon Ramsey reruns 23 hours a day but no Hotel Babylon?

  • you agree that this is a miscarriage of justice,
  • you're still ticked off about that Boston Tea Party/American Revolution thingy and just feel like pestering BBC America on principle,
  • and/or you haven't joined any causes lately and want to -- and this one takes a lot less face time than becoming an Amway seller or a Greenpeace activist
please take 30 seconds to go to the contact page at BBCAmerica.com and petition for more Hotel Babylon. This show has a brilliant cast, good production values and engaging story lines. No wonder they've decided to get rid of it, right? Sigh. Don't let this happen! Write in now!

In the words of Bartles and James, we thank you for your support.

*The Brits refer to it as the third "series".

Gilahi said...

I agree. One of the better "dramadies" on TV, and I miss it. Excellent casting, acting and writing. I, for one, will pester the BBC. Thanks for the link.

France said...

you just left a msg on my blog about hotel babylon. email me: france at iinet dot net dot au
I can't find a way to contact you on your blog!

lacochran said...

Gilahi: Thanks for your comment and pestering BBC America!!
France: Will do!

IAmATVJunkie said...

I have to agree with you on Gordon Ramsey, he's just the worst and he's omnipresent.

I was really looking forward to more Paul Telfer myself.

And, Abdul and Barrowman's guest star appearances.

Reports today that the Catholic Church in Australia wants Ramsey off the air.

lacochran said...

All we get here are bleeps, and plenty of them, when he's on. Is the Catholic church complaining about him uncensored or are they reading around the bleeps?

Tape is maybe the most important office supply in my printing office. I'm sure I don't have to count the reasons. Because I have some on just about every surface, as well as in the crevices of my presses and stuck to my shoes, I think about it a lot. I buy the industrial strength clear packing tape, and was happy in the knowledge that it probably stayed stuck until the package arrived at its destination. Until I turned around yesterday and saw a perfectly nice tape stripe peeling up on the edges of a very important package. That situation will not stand! So, I decided to get serious about serious tape.

I already knew the perfect tape dispenser, but I didn't read about it in Tape Quarterly. I heard about this machine in the New Yorker's cartoon issue of 2007, where cartoonist R. Crumb told the tale of his and his wife's journey to the manufacturer of the golden fleece of tape dispensers. In this panel, Aline, Crumb's wife, sits in awe as the president introduces his 90-year old company:

Better Packages, Inc. makes water-activated tape dispensers: durable, heavy, and, for someone used to scooping up bargain-basement machinery, sometimes out of basements, a bit of an investment. Manual BP 333 Plus is my favorite, and looks like a tape dispenser one's grandkids could inherit, it's so durable:

Uline has them, of course, and you can even get a free case of reinforced tape if you buy a heater. Ebay has a few of the more expensive models, as well as some fabulous Deco scotch tape dispensers--maybe I should retrofit all my machines to pre-1920 models! I can't play the will-it-stick roulette forever, though, so one of these days . . . Better Packages will hear from me.

New York Yankees: Lots To Prove In Boston

Mostly Williams, A Little Johnson, No Doughty and All Penalties

Hot damn, holy shit, we won a hockey game. Better yet, the Kings managed to avoid coming home with a losing record as they snuffed out the Philadelphia Flyers’ perfect record with an overtime win, courtesy of Jack Johnson.

Let’s start with Johnson, the overtime hero who has now won both of the Kings’ games for them with power play goals in the extra 5. The goal was actually all Richards, so for me, the real story of the night for Jackie boy was his defensive play.

While Matt Greene did his best to break the record for most minor penalties by a player in one game, Johnson exhibited some of the best defense I’ve ever seen him play. Jim Fox wouldn’t shut up about his one-on-one play and rightfully so. Jack’s stick was on fire and his positioning was outstanding, forcing players wide and blocking what shooting lanes the opposition found.

While Jack, with some rock solid goaltending by Jonny Q, helped keep the Flyers mostly off the board, Justin Williams ensured the Kings were on it. 2 goals for perhaps the most exhilarating player on the team, both scored by hard work through, get this, the slot! I know, I know, it exists outside Murray’s home plate and our players aren’t supposed to go to those dirty areas when the boards are so soothing, like a baby’s crib, and the blue line is as irreplaceable as a mother’s nipple, but goddamnit Williams is his own man and when he wants to drive through the slot, that’s exactly what he’s gonna do come hell or high water.

I guess I should mention something about the Flyers, something other than ‘I want Giroux on my team’. Let’s talk about Wayne Simmonds. He looked good. Well, not literally, because he looked horrendously bad in orange. I usually think orange and black go well together, but in this case either Simmonds is just too black or Philly’s jerseys are too orange. Or maybe Wayne is too skinny. If Jack Skellington got puked on by a pumpkin then fell down a dirty chimney, you’d get Simmonds in a Flyers jersey. But still, he looked good…playing hockey. He was the same tenacious guy we all came to love. However, after his first few shifts he was hounded relentlessly by Willie Mitchell, who jammed him up against the boards nearly every time Wayne dared carry the puck into our zone. I’d say Mitchell stuck to him like white on rice, but I don’t want to offend any Asian people.

Speaking of Matt Greene, have you ever seen more penalties in a game? You probably have, the last time Greene played. Matt’s count alone was sufficient for two hockey games, but these refs were particular whistle happy. Did I mention Chris Pronger is an asshole?

But seriously folks, the Kings played a solid game. This was by far their best effort in the young season, despite patches where the Flyers pressed harder than four fat fucks fighting for space in a Fiat. Notice that none of our offense really came from point shots. Sure, the point play factored in on all three goals, but not in the way our system is normally designed. On Williams’ first, Mitchell lobbed a perfect saucer to Gagne on the left half wall, who fed Williams cutting through the slot. On the second, Johnson kept the play alive at the right point before feeding Williams who danced his way through both sides of Bryzgalov’s peripheral vision. The overtime winner was scored by Richards creeping his way in from the left point with two fake shots, the second resulting in a slap pass to Jack who waited with stick on ice to the side of the crease. All the goals scored within 10 feet of the net, not one of them from so much as an attempted point shot on goal. Which brings me to my one major gripe for this game, or rather, aneurysm inducing major psychotic fucking hatred; the 5-on-3 power play.

You expected me write about it? Screw that noise, I could barely watch the damn thing.

Finally let’s talk briefly about Drew Doughty, who played a remarkable two shifts. Perhaps we’ll post video later and discuss whether or not newcomer goon Rinaldo’s hit was clean or not. Maybe we won’t. I don’t particularly care. What bothers me is that Doughty put himself in that position needlessly. I love a good old end to end Dewey rush through zones as much as anyone, but less than 2 minutes into a game, is it really necessary to gain the blue line and then put your head down and try to skate through 3 opposing players? I know what he was trying to do, there was some light at the end of that ego trip and if it were the third period of a game we are losing, by all means please make that play. While I will not say he got what he deserved with that bone rattling hit, I will insist that he needlessly put himself in harm’s way. Drew may have some serious hockey sense, but no one ever claimed he had it in its common form.

Oh well, luckily his head seems to be fine and it’s just a minor shoulder injury. We now put our faith in fancy Beverly Hills doctors, one of life’s necessary evils.

So go now, drink more beer. Celebrate and enjoy your Saturday night with the satisfaction that we made it through a brutal road trip with a winning record. The next game is Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. It’s not a big deal, it’s just the home opener. Save your voices my friends.

  1. the real story of the night for Jackie boy was his defensive play.

    … He had some good moments in his own zone, but his overall defensive game was still not good or not even adequate. The ice is usually tilted toward the Kings’ net when Johnson is out there; today was no exception – in 17 1/2 even strength minutes, the Kings had just five shots on goal and allowed 13. When Jack was off the ice, the Kings (at even strength) had 21 shots on goal and allowed 21.

    Jack gets some love for scoring the game-winning goal, and his fine job in keeping the puck in the offensive zone, which led to Williams’ second goal, was a key play.

    I do agree that Mitchell had a fantastic game defensively. Drewiske struggled, and again I have no idea why he played. When Greene wasn’t in the box, he was playing effectively. I thought Richardson was solid. I’m not sure why Clifford played only four minutes, but he did. Kramer had a very nice game. Quick is starting the season very well, just like he did last season; read into that what you will. I don’t know what Lewis was thinking in the moments leading up to the Carle PP goal – I guess he went into vapor-lock. Scuderi’s status: still rock solid.

    • Oh God that Carle goal was awful. However I blame Greene. To me it is his job to protect the other side of the front of the net. Its Lewis’s job to go up high, just like he did. Greene should have been playing the position and not the man.

    • As Johnson, he wasn’t outstanding for the bar of a guy like Mitchell, but for Johnson’s own barometer, this game was at the top.

    • Why don’t you point out anything positive like Lewis showing some drive, and forcing a penalty that lead to the game winning goal for the Kings?

      • He’s just a negative nancy from what I can tell. I’m not saying this to argue, but it seems almost everything he says is the complete opposite of what most feel like. I think he just likes being different.

        • He’s just a negative nancy from what I can tell.

          … I praised at least five guys in my post about the game. At least read what I post before you bash me, alright? That’s not asking much.

    • Drewiske struggled? Please explain…

      • I agree. Whiskey had a pretty good game. JJ also lead all defensemen in qual/comp. It’s a wonder there were more shots. JJ was on the ice whenever Philly’s best offensive players were on the ice. JJ was also shifted with 4 different partners during the game. He had some blocked shots, and created more offense than any other Kings defenseman. Not counting the power play where he scored the game winner.

      • … Looking at the game again (well, a condensed game) today, I think I was probably too hard on Drewiske. He did get put into a lot of tough situations out there yesterday, against some quality opposition.

        And my numbers were wrong with Jack. When he was on the ice at even strength, the Kings were indeed out-shot 13 to 5. But when Jack was off the ice, the Kings were out-shot as well, albeit by a smaller margin (12-9).

        The Kings managed just 14 shots in almost 42 minutes of even strength play, not impressive to say the least.

  2. If I didn’t know any better I thought the ex GNR guitarist was in the crowds with all those penalties. Greene loves to slash guys. I don’t think he can help it. I would rather have him lift the guys stick instead, if he get to it but turning around and then taking a whack at the guy is usually gonna get called now days.

    I thought JJ played a great game. That Rinaldo guy well…if it were a Flyer coming down the slot like that with the puck I’d want our guys to level him also. I don’t blame Doughty for coming in strong like that. I think when you’ve got a head of steam like that and you see some ice you’re pumped but cutting across like that you gotta sorta understand that someone might just level you like that. Whatever…hope he’s only out a game or two and nothing more.

    I thought the team played well enough. Not quite sure how much Westgarth added to the team but…evidently it scared the Flyers.

  3. Its only my impression, but watching that game I can’t shake the feeling – despite the fact that this is the only meeting on the schedule, these two teams went at it like they expect to see each other again…

  4. That’s it, baby. Now work the balls. Just the balls.

    Stop all this fussing. We’re coming off a nasty road trip — a road trip where we’re assessed two home games — and are coming back with a 2-1-1 record.

    As fucked up as everybody says our power play is, it was still instrumental in our two wins — thankfully in overtime, not in shoot-outs.

    We pulled this win outa Philly with a $7-mil star injured and a $4.25-mil “star” with his ass glued to the bench. So let’s pause a moment and reflect appreciatively either on our grit or our good luck.

    Okay, honey. Now work the shaft. That’s it. Nice and slow . . .

  5. Werent we on the road for like the past month……seems like a pretty good record to me. Let the boys come home and HOLY CRAP GET YOUR HEAD UP DOUGHNUT!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!…….@#&^%@$%@&^%#@*&^#*&@^*&…….I swear I WASNT DRINKING! YOU NEVER READ THIS!!! PRANK POSTER PRANK POSTER!!!!!…….(footsteps, ………car door……..squealing tires……….cat………….whore………………………….penner…………….parse……)

« 2013 Tinker Bell Half Marathon - Part 2 | Main | Disneyland Limited Time Magic - New Orleans Bayou Bash »

Disneyland Resort Photo January Update

Contributing photographer Jason of disneygeek.com sends us these photos from his trip to the parks in late January, 2013.

The skyline has changed a bit, a large tower crane is visible over the trees. This is being used for the Big Thunder work.

The train station has received an image on the scaffolding tarps, much nicer to look at!

The park side.

Main Street USA this afternoon. The snow has melted on the castle (Speaking of melting.. it was pushing 80 degrees out this afternoon and was a picture perfect day).

The menu at the Stage Door Cafe has changed. The chicken nuggets and corn dogs are gone (the two things I liked!).

The Big Thunder Trail has re-opened.

The trail to Fantasyland is narrow due to the work on Big Thunder Mountain.

A look through a crack in the fence.. you can see the base of the crane.

The Fantasy Faire progress. It's scheduled to open in March.

Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree has re-opened, featuring Billy Hill and the Hillbillies and character meet and greets.

Current food and beverage offerings.

Time to head across the Esplanade to DCA. The Hyperion Bridge has been repainted. It now has colored panels. Before it was a solid color.

The new Buena Vista Street Bugle is out.

Over at Mater's one side has a tent over it. They are working on resurfacing it.

The original surface has taken a beating already and they are installing a new surface that should last longer.

A look down Route 66. The telephone poles on the right side of the street that were used for Christmas decorations have been removed.

Work on Grizzly River Rrun continues. Here they are rebuilding the railings.

A section that has not been torn down.

I was there during the Health and Fitness Expo that was part of Tinker Bell Half Marathon weekend. Here is some of the merchandise for this years race.

A look at some of the race medals that were on display at the Run Disney booth.

Jeff Galloway was on hand to answer questions, sign books, and pose for pictures.

The other news of the expo was the new runDisney shoes by New Balance. They are available only at runDisney Expos (starting WDW marathon weekend) and are $125 plus tax.

The Men's shoe features Mickey.

And the Women's Minnie

In Downtown Disney the ice skating rink is gone, just a couple of buildings remain from it.

The Fossil store is being remodeled.

Heading back to Disneyland. The lights on the scaffolding give a different look..

Stopped by the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree and Mickey and Minnie were hanging out, as well as a handful of other cast members and only a couple of guests.

Last chance to see Small World Holiday this season.

Crossed paths with Soundsational as I headed to Tomorrowland.

Wreck-It Ralph has left the Starcade. Construction walls are up.

Was able to just walk right onto the Haunted Mansion.

Madam Leota was not floating yet.

Back to DCA... the bridge at night.

Passed through Radiator Springs on my way to World of Color (yeah I took the long way)

Arrived a couple minutes before show time and was able to find an ok Standby spot for World of Color

Hope you enjoyed this highlight tour of the Disneyland Resort. For additional photos and details from this trip you can check out the full Disneyland Update I posted on my site, http://disneygeek.com Also be sure to follow me on twitter @disneygeekcom for pictures from the parks.

Contest Exclusive to Students 18 and Younger Who Participate In

National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) Network Chapters Nationwide; Winner Receives New York City Travel Package in August

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) today announced that Timothy Bryant Jr. of Carson, Calif. is one of 14 winners of the 14th annual USTA/ NJTL Arthur Ashe Essay and Art Contest in the boys 11-12 essay category. Bryant, along with the other winners, ranging in ages from 10 to 18, were selected from over 1,100 essays submitted earlier this summer. Each winner will receive a New York City travel package from August 24-August 26.

“My essay was inspired mostly by Arthur Ashe’s accomplishments on and off the court,” said Bryant. “I admire him for sharing his knowledge about AIDS. He is a role model for individuals who believe that they can succeed if they put their minds to it.”

According to Helen Hines, Bryant’s mother, he has been involved in the LA84 Foundation NJTL Chapter since 2006. His father introduced him to tennis at the age of 5. She said this experience has been very motivating for her son and reinforced the message that education is the key to success on and off the court.

“I think this trip will give Timothy an appreciation for the game of tennis and what it took for someone such as Arthur Ashe to succeed, where few African Americans had excelled during his time,” said Hines.

Bryant will receive round-trip coach airfare to New York City for themselves and a parent/legal guardian. The trip also includes two nights at the Grand Hyatt 42nd Street, and President’s Box tickets to the 2012 Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day presented by Hess on August 25 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The weekend will wrap-up with an awards luncheon on August 26, hosted by former New York City Mayor and USTA Board Member David Dinkins, where the winners will receive an honorary plaque.

“I'm looking forward to having fun at Arthur Ashe Kids Day, seeing famous tennis players, and learning more about Arthur Ashe’s legacy in the world of tennis,” Bryant said.

To enter the contest, children were asked to write an essay of 350 words or less, responding to a specific question around Arthur Ashe and his great accomplishments. This year’s question – “If Arthur Ashe were alive today, what do you think would give him hope?”  A USTA sub-committee selected the winning essays based on their knowledge of Arthur Ashe, message clarity, and writing style.

Founded in 1969 by Arthur Ashe, along with Charlie Pasarell and Sheridan Snyder, the USTA/National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) network is a nation-wide group of more than 660 non-profit youth development organizations that provide free or low cost tennis, education and life skills programming to more than 250,000 children each year. Celebrating its 43rd anniversary this year, NJTL is one of the USTA’s largest community-based offerings.

The USTA is the national governing body for the sport of tennis in the U.S. and the leader in promoting and developing the growth of tennis at every level -- from local communities to the highest level of the professional game.  A not-for-profit organization with more than 785,000 members, it invests 100% of its proceeds in growing the game. It owns and operates the US Open, the highest attended annual sporting event in the world, and launched the Emirates Airline US Open Series linking 10 summer tournaments to the US Open. In addition, it owns approximately 90 Pro Circuit events throughout the U.S, and selects the teams for the Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Olympic and Paralympic Games. The USTA philanthropic entity, USTA Serves, provides grants and scholarships and helps underserved youth and people with disabilities.
