about the recent DC Circuit Court of Appeals overturning the FCC's
none-too-vigorous attempt at mandating "Net neutrality," or equal access
for all content providers, opening the way for ISPs to offer higher speed

For many of the Jihadist extremists who have invaded Syria in the hopes of *establishing

end of Assad, and then fighting some more. The word ceasefire does not
exist in their worldview. They are seeking the complete destruction of the
secular state in Syria. They will not abandon this idea.

medicaid were tradeoffs for no tax cuts for the rich. Turns out that the

Informed Consent
Bollman v. Soenen, 2014 ONCA 36:
[18] The trial judge's determination of liability on informed consent
was based on a misapprehension of the law. In the context of medical
treatment, battery arises when there is no consent at all. An example
would be when the wrong operation or procedure was conducted. When there
is an allegation of a deficiency in the explanation of risks, the issue is
that of informed consent.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court was put in the embarrassing position of
deciding whether or not to approve one of its potential members. The reason
was another of Stephen Harper's attempts to get his way. The arguments in
front of the court were legal. But the real question was -- and is --
whether there were eminently more qualified justices than Marc Nadon.
Andrew Coyne writes:
No legal expert that I am aware of considers Mr. Nadon to be among even the
first rank of jurists from Quebec, except in the relatively narrow field of
maritime law. I haven’t seen anyone question his compet... more »

Teacher Effect v. Measurable Teacher “Value”: Some Clarifications
At Peter DeWitt’s Finding Common Ground blog, Angel L. Cintron Jr. offers a
guest post, Poverty & Education: Meaningful Discussions or Misguided
Diatribes?, confronting the often contentious debate about teacher effect,
poverty, and student learning. Cintron offers two points, which he then
examines: The proponents of the “poverty is not an excuse” motto are
correct in stating that […]

The new and quite awesome-looking Season 4 trailer promises “war, death,

Is Benjamin Netanyahu Covering Up For Mafioso Congressman Michael "Mikey Suits" Grimm?
Pinto and Grimm-- two crooks
Back in March of 2012 the *NY Times* looked into Staten Island Mafia
congressman Michael "Mikey Suits" Grimm's connection with Panicos "Pete"
Papanicolaou and Cypriot crime syndicates. A former FBI agent who went over
to the Gambino Crime Family (and then the GOP), Grimes is in more trouble
with the Feds than any other Member of Congress in our lifetimes and
investigations of him just keep leading deeper and deeper into a maze of
corruption and criminality. And Cyprus isn't the only other country with a
Grimm-connection. This week, the *Staten Island Adva... more »

Vikings Football Player Speaks Up For Gay Marriage, Is Fired: Can He Sue? Maybe
Chris Kluwe is a punter for the NFL. He used to play for the Minnesota
Vikings. That is, until he started speaking up in favor of marriage
equality. He got permission from the team to do some ads for the cause, but
things changed when he wrote and published a letter to a Maryland state
official defending a Ravens football player's right to free speech on the
same subject. After that, his coach asked him to stop. He didn't.
His coach began to make negative comments about gays repeatedly in Kluwe's
presence that they hadn't made in all the years he had worked for them. He

Should the ONDP's Andrea Horwath have taken the distasteful, but principled
stance of siding with the cretinous Tim Hudak against the Ontario Liberal

destruction of government records, repeated lying to the legislature about
the cost of the gas plant cancellations)? However obviously bad Hudak's

Paradigm Change: British Doctors Turn to Prescribing Books for Depression by Elizabeth Renter
Paradigm Change: British Docs Turn to Prescribing Books for Depression
by Elizabeth Renter
Natural Society, 14 January 2014
If you’re a reader, you know how a book can transport you to another world
or make you think about things in ways you hadn’t before. But depending on
the content, books can be far more than a form of escapism—they can truly
change your life. Bibiliotherapy, or the use of books as a form of
treatment, is becoming more widely embraced in Britain and is being used by
doctors who hope their patients will find relief from depression in the

Condemned man dies slowly
Dennis McGuire did not die an easy death.
After the poison was injected he was still for almost five minutes, then he
gave a loud snort, as if snoring, and continued to make that sound over the
next several minutes. He opened and shut his mouth several times without
making a sound as his stomach rose and fell. His awareness and terror
cannot be known.
Ohio, which poisoned and killed McGuire, merely says "you're not entitled
to a pain-free execution."
McGuire was executed for murder and his death was part of an admittedly
experimental method of lethal injection.
