Anthony Pellicano Pleads Not Guilty To Threatening Reporter

Back in 2002 there were two investigative reporters tearing up Hollywood. Bernie Weintraub of the New York Times and Anita Busch of the L.A. Times. They dug deep and reported all sorts of stories that the movers and shakers of Hollywood didn’t like. Many were about the then super-agent Michael Ovitz. Ovitz didn’t appreciate the bad press.
Before you knew it Ovitz’s bad boy buddy - Private Detective “to the stars”, Anthony Pellicano, was being accused of hiring goons to terrorize the two reporters. He denied it all. Just as he later denied the fed’s charges of wiretapping and racketeering. Pellicano was convicted of those charges last year and is spending the next 15 years in prison.
But back to the allegations about threatening those reporters … Anita Busch in particular. Now, Mr. Tough Guy Pellicano (you can read what he did to me when I worked as a reporter in Hollywood here) is back in court facing THOSE charges.

Convict Anthony Pellicano
The case of the shattered windshield, a dead fish and a rose is finally moving forward. Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano and his alleged hired hand, Alexander Proctor, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that they threatened reporter Anita Busch in 2002 to scare her off a story.

DIMOND PARK CREEK,

Trickling water, scrub oaks and rock. Where light enters the ring of trees. Settles on the rock where I sit. Circle of stones. Blackberry bush. (3 boys passing a smoke at the top of the path.) Underneath shade. Contemplation. A low flying plane. Bird cracking. Butterfly. Native garden The grinding sound of a saw or jackhammer. The whirling sound of a motorbike passing. (Children’s laughter echoing from behind.) Here the tree leans from one edge of the creek and crosses over to the other side, pale green leaves hang down over the large rock––a flat space for sitting, square ledge for leaning back. Tuft of grass. Dangling branches falling through. A Blue Jay sits at the top of the tree. Nest, brown and wet looking. One singular branch, brief hammering noise, extending arms into the ground. Where a long metal tube or shaft crosses the stream. Vines, ivy, oak and dirt, the sun slowly lowering, light moving to the right.
II
On this side of the creek a path leads up to an area with even more trees. There is a road. It seems quiet there. I wonder if that is where the creek begins. Blue sky. Thin scrubby oak. Singular. There is a telephone poll up near the road. I hear a car drive past. Faint sound of people talking. Here it is an oasis and yet strangely close to all the city noises. Blue sky turning with hazy late afternoon clouds, flies buzzing about. One leaf falling to my left. A white cat with a square shaped gray patch on its back walks down the trail opposite where I am sitting. It begins to cross the iron tube that stretches across the creek, stops then walks back. It scratches its chest, then runs back up the trail. Vague remnants of a porch on the other side of the hill. Dog barking. Light hitting the tips of red leaves.

Warming Up With Julius Peppers

As a high schooler, Julius Peppers stood 6’5” and weighed 225 pounds. No wonder he dominated on the gridiron and hardwood. But perhaps even more surprising than his freakish physique was the fact that he didn’t weight train, stretch or warm up before games. “I just went out and played,” the monster Carolina Panthers D-end said of his high school career. These days, he knows better.
Before engaging in explosive training in the off-season, Peppers first performs the following vigorous warm-up routine to loosen up his hips, shoulders and core muscles. “Those are the muscles I play with, so I try to hone in on that part of the body,” he says.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a D-end working on first-step quickness or a wideout improving linear speed, prep like Peppers by tackling this warm-up series before rushing into the bulk of your workout.

Abstract: Understanding factors that influence Individuals Willingness to Act to Reduce

Understanding factors that influence Individuals Willingness to Act to Reduce Climate
Change Mitigating the impacts of climate change by reducing global greenhouse gas
emissions will require individuals to change their personal consumption choices and
political decisions. Individual’s personal and political behavior and their consumption
choices are primary causes of greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, individual behavior
and demand are primary drivers of government decisions to implement climate change
reduction policies and business decisions to offer low‐carbon products and services. In this
study we investigate factors that influence individuals’ willingness to undertake climate
change reduction behaviors. Our results suggest that positive attitudes towards climate
change reduction behaviors are the strongest predictor of individuals’ willingness to act to
reduce climate change. We also found that positive attitudes are influenced by belief that
climate change is occurring, knowledge of the causes of climate change and perceived
likelihood that climate change will have personally relevant consequences. The proposed
model explains over 75% of variation in willingness to act to reduce climate change in our
sample. These findings have important implications for policymakers, educators, and others
who are working to reduce climate change impacts. For example, campaigns aimed at
motivating individuals to increase their adoption of climate change reduction behaviors
should focus on (1) proving that climate change is occurring; (2) clarifying the causes of
climate change; and (3) portraying the impacts of climate change as both personally
relevant and likely to occur.

Dimond boys knock off Soldotna

Fifteen years of organized soccer for Dimond senior Connor Shuck comes to a conclusion this weekend in the Alaska School Next fall he'll be living in Missoula, Mont., a freshman at the University of Montana. He doesn't plan to try out for the Grizzlies' soccer team. He'd rather focus on getting a degree in athletic training.
So in the meantime, he's living it up at Anchorage Football Stadium and doing his part to help Dimond win its first state championship since 2002.
Shuck scored on a penalty kick Wednesday to lift Dimond to a 5-2 first-round victory over the Soldotna Stars.
"We played as a team, working with the ball and just having fun," said the defenseman, who netted his second goal of the season. "You get goals and it makes it nice."Activities Association's state tournament.

Veterans Have Earned Their Day in Court

In America everyone is supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law. But we've got a growing group, a particular class of defendants entering American courtrooms who I believe need special consideration. They are soldiers returning from war. Several studies conclude that between 30 percent to 40 percent of the approximately 1.6 million vets of Iraq and Afghanistan will "face serious mental-health injuries" like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and problems from traumatic brain injuries. Experts in the field report both those conditions are linked to anti-social and criminal behavior. Now, to me those numbers — up to 40 percent of the troops afflicted — seem high. But if it's even half that, it's too many brave souls returning home needing special help. So, what do we do with a soldier, who put his or her life on hold to go to a foreign land to fight for our liberty, when they come home and get into trouble with the law? To be clear, I'm not referring to the highly publicized cases where a returning soldier has committed murder. Those cases have caused many to think, "Well, you train these young men to kill, they come home and kill." But there is no research — let me repeat that, there is no research — to indicate vets commit violent crimes more often than civilians. In fact, if you extrapolate government statistics for murders committed by men ages 18 to 24, it's the civilian who is more likely to kill someone, not the vet. I'm referring here to those anti-social, behavioral problems experts report that so many of our returning soldiers suffer with in silence. Problems with substance abuse, paranoia, flashbacks and bursts of unexplained temper, problems so debilitating the vet takes out their frustrations on loved ones or commits suicide.

DIANE DIMOND

Diane Dimond is a modern day journalist who defies a category. She’s been called “A renaissance
broadcaster” for her versatility on-air and “A reporter’s reporter” for her consistently high-quality
investigative storytelling. Dimond’s greatest talent may be her ability to speak of complicated stories in an
understandable, common-sense way.
Most recently Diane was seen by millions on Court TV, NBC’s Today Show, MSNBC, Larry King
Live and news outlets worldwide reporting on the Michael Jackson child molestation case. Her book on
Jackson,“Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case, published by Simon and Schuster
and released in November 2005, is an explosive tome detailing Dimond’s exclusive revelations from 1993
when she first broke the story - to the case 10 years later when, once again, Dimond was the first to report
the second charge of molestation.
Diane has been at the center of countless other major news stories as well. She was the first to
report the story of rape at the Kennedy compound in Palm Beach, Florida and to identify William Kennedy
Smith as the accused. And Dimond has been praised for her hard-hitting interviews with a number of
infamous prison inmates including: Pamela Smart, a school teacher serving a life sentence for enticing her
high school lover to kill her husband; James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of Martin Luther King Jr.;
Jeffery McDonald, the convicted "Fatal Vision Killer"; Kenneth Bianchi, the convicted "Hillside Strangler"
and Dimond is the only reporter to have ever interviewed Richard Allen Davis, the convicted killer of Polly
Klass.

Responses to phenethylamines and nicotine and histology of turtle atria

Sister Marie Therese Dimond 1
1 Trinity College, Washington, D.C.
Epinephrine (E), norepinephrine (NE), tyramine (T) and nicotine were tested at various dosage levels on different atrial regions of the heart of the eastern painted turtle, Chrysemys picta picta (Schneider), and the median effective dose determined. The three phenethylamines acted according to the following pattern in their effect on rate increase, amplitude increase, and inhibition of tonus waves: E > NE > T, except for amplitude increase in the left atrium and tonus wave inhibition in both atria, where E and NE were equal. The right sino-atrium and left atrium differed in sensitivity to the drugs. The various responses, including treppe, are consonant with the theory of the release from the tissues of a potentiating substance and a depressing substance. Histological stains for chromaffin tissue, a possible source of potentiating substance, were negative, but a differentially stained type of cardiac muscle, a possible conducting tissue, is present in regions of the sinus venosus and both atria and at the base of the interatrial septum.

Diane Dimond on the Biological Father of MJ’s Kids

Diane Dimond, who has been covering Michael Jackson since 1993, talks to “The Insider”’s Samantha Harris about the biological father of MJ’s children and more! “It is being reported that the biological father of the two older children is Dr. Arnie Klein,” Diane tells “The Insider.” “This is a name I have long heard as the donor of the sperm that gave birth to the first two children.” Diane goes on to say that Dr. Klein has been Michael’s dermatologist for 20 years, and he was Debbie Rowe’s employer. It was at Klein’s office where Michael first met Debbie, and later she agreed to give birth to his children. “I have long heard that this was an agreement between three adults; Michael Jackson, Debbie Rowe and Arnie Klein: That Arnie Klein would provide the sperm, Debbie Rowe would provide the egg and she would give birth to babies for Michael Jackson,” Diane continues. [Note: At the time of this posting, Klein had not returned our phone calls]. As for Michael’s funeral, Diane says, “Can you say Super Bowl of funerals? They want to make it befitting the King of Pop.” For more of Samantha’s interview with Diane, tune in to tonight’s “The Insider.”

Room not clean. Lobby like a car dealership. No charm.

“I have to say the large bathtub and the bed were truly fabulous. We will not stay again, however for several reasons. One, it was not clean. Something splattered on the wall in the bathroom, food remains in the drawers, wax from candles trailing across tile in bathroom. We were told by the night clerk that he would find us a nicer room for the next night and would leave a note for the morning person to let them know, he didn't. We thought the lobby had the ambiance of a car dealership which it resembles. It is right next to Wal-Mart. The court is just a bunch of weeds. I think the fact that it wasn't clean really put us off. Indeed they had down comforters on the very comfortable beds, but we wondered how often they change the duvet cover. We were there for a much needed get away and it was a big let down.”

LORD NICHOLLS OF BIRKENHEAD

I have had the advantage of reading a draft of the speech of my noble and learned friend Lord Hoffmann. For the reasons he gives I would dismiss this appeal. The only point on which I differ from Lord Hoffmann concerns the measure of damages which would have been recoverable had the claim not been dismissed. The point is of general importance to accident car hire companies and to insurance companies operating in this field.
These proceedings arise out of an everyday occurrence. Momentary inattention by a driver results in his car running into and damaging another vehicle. The damaged car needs repair and is off the road for some days while being repaired. The owner of the damaged car requires a replacement vehicle. Many car insurance policies make no provision for a replacement if the insured car is damaged in an accident. So the victim of a no fault accident has to make his own arrangements to tide himself over the days he is without his car.
Under an ordinary car hiring arrangement, the hirer has to produce the hire charge up front. Usually the amount of money involved is not large, but for many people it is still a considerable sum to have to find. Further, there is no certainty the money will ever be recovered from the insurers of the car whose driver was at fault. The innocent motorist has no clout when it comes to seeking payment from someone else's insurers. And no one would wish to become involved in court proceedings to recover the money from the insurers. So there are many cases where innocent motorists make do as best they can. They manage somehow without a car, or borrow one from a relation, or get lifts from friends. Either that, or they hire a car and write off the hire charge as just one of those things.
