I do too.
Having dealt with cancer myself I thought they were being very optimistic with him making plans to come back so quickly. Even if the treatments are working it’s a long difficult process and DD would not be home. Tough situation.
Who's got it better than us? NOBODY!
kent bottenfield
after a great half-season from kyle lohse and jake westbrook we’ll be trading bottenfield for jim edmonds, who plans to show every cardinals pitcher just how he’s tipping his pitches.
And makes the half-shirt acceptable coach attire.

I am assuming that people are just way too devastated to say...
that this offseason also marked the end of the Dotel and Laird era as well.
Don't forget Andrew Brown...
lboros was in such a state of denial he couldn’t even bring himself to delete the guy from his depth chart this morning.
Sign Roy O
He got put on waivers in October, and the Rockies grabbed him.

hey, I liked the Dotel era
I’m especially looking forward to when it’s revealed that the substance Ryan Braun had tested positive for was just a bunch of random pills that a guy had promised him were magic pills that would allow him to not strike out against Octavio Dotel.
Actually they were pills that forced him to swing any pitch thrown by Dotel.

Did someone say Corey Patterson?

he is in an elite group of pitchers, having to do with the #70 and up. As of October 2009, his 2009 season was 12th on this mystery list, and Omar Olivares, ’92 version was 11th. Can you guess (or find out) what this list is about?

that's different
There, “other positions within the organization” was code for sitting on the couch collecting a paycheck unless hired elsewhere.
Since Duncan resigned, he doesn’t get a pay check. So there is no reason for the club to say he is getting “a position within the organization” unless Duncan actually wants one.
My guess is just a consultant.

Actually, he's getting paid for 2012.

I would imagine Dave just decided that it was in his family's long term best interests to stay home with this wife.
The fact that she is no worse now may not be the issue. This is not something anyone wants to hear I’m sure, but I have personal experience with the type of tumor Mrs Duncan has (not me but someone close to me). The long term outlook for this type of tumor is not good. No doubt the Duncans have been told this. In my opinion he is doing the absolute best thing he can do for his family right now.

In a discussion today with my best friend, who is a Cub fan,
we were jabbing at each other like always. he started in with the fact that the Cubs hold a 42 game lead in the rivalry. So I started digging and we have pretty much owned their asses for the last 70+ years. We hold a well over 100 game lead since 1930. They must’ve just beat our brains in from 1885 to about 1910 though.

its called jury nullification
no, it is not a legal justification for murder. but there are times where the facts occur in such a way that the jury basically ignores the law and does the “right” thing – whatever that might be.

jury nullification is pretty strange as i understand it anyway.
don’t, when interviewing for jury selection, you have to say that you will apply the law as it exists (e.g. if someone doesn’t believe in the death penalty and they say so they are ineligible to serve on a capital case)?
therefore, if the jury nullifies, it would seem that they were lying when selected…
it is what it is, not what we thought it'd be
they weren't lying
no one thinks they are going to vilify a criminal until it actually happens. but it is really rare anyway and a time to kill IS JUST A MOVIE

I figured something must be up....
Because I wasn’t understanding how you took a plaintiff’s case against an insurance company, given what I think I know about your practice.
by Willie McGee's Twin on Jan 6, 2012 1:17 AM EST up reply actions
juries like a plot and a story and someone to sympathize with.
Tell a story.
Spell it out: imagine if you worked all your life to create a business to get your children a better life. You worked everyday to build your business. You invested you heart and soul in the business. Then, one day tragedy struck. Your business burned down in a terrible accident.
And then imagine the insurance company you’d trusted, that you’d paid year after year, knowing they’d support you when the worst happened. Then, instead of supporting you and helping you put your life back together, that company you trusted, with all their enormous resources, sent their hired “experts” in with one instruction – just to make sure that they wouldn’t have to pay a cent.
(Here, you’d put in the facts in your favor – e.g., even though the police experts (who weren’t going to profit from their determination) ruled the fire’s cause undetermined (or suspicious, as the case may be), only the insurance company says it was arson).
This is a case about trust and a case about greed. Mr. Plaintiff trusted the insurance company to do the right thing, to stand by him when he most needed them, and to help him rebuild his family business. The insurancer company, in its greed, doesn’t want to do what’s fair or what’s right. They don’t see the business mr. plaintiff built. They see one of a thousand dollar signs that all add up to one bottom line.
I hope you ladies and gentlemen of the jury have insurance, for your homes, your cars, your lives, and your health care. I know if you do, you don’t want to be another dollar sign in some insurance company’s bottom line. If you were in Mr. Plaintiff’s spot, you’d want someone you could trust. And if an insurance company broke faith with you and tried to take your money and run, you’d want someone to help you. You’d want someone to tell that insurance company, “no.” And that’s what I’m asking you to do today. Say “no” to greed. Tell the insurance company they have to stand by their customer. Tell Mr. Plaintiff that, even if he can’t trust the insurance company, he can trust YOU to protect his rights and his family.

this is really good. and pretty similar to my theme in this case.
i have thought for awhile that you might have had legal training of some kind.
however, just a little fyi that i learned today. asking the jury to sit in a party’s shoes is unequivocal grounds for a mistrial.

well, reframe it as an appeal to their common sense.
But those are the themes you’d be looking at in a conventional insurance case – the insurance company is greedy and looking for a way not to pay.
Arson is terribly hard to prove and the proof tends to be very technical. There will always be either a police or fire department investigation. They will try hard to convict anybody if they think they have a case. If you are where you are, you can contrast the government investigation with the insurance company investigation.

another problem is that the fire chief ruled it arson in this case.
there are many many many other facts i could get into, but what you’ve written covers the gist of the case. i don’t feel comfortable attacking the insurance company quite so strongly, since they are relying on the report of a (seemingly) neutral party

then you focus more on why the insurance company
Assumes it was your client, rather than somebody else. Something kept your client from being indicted. While it’s certainly logically possible that someone’s responsibility for the fire could be proven to the preponderance standard but not beyond a reasonable doubt, more likely the failure to indict your client arose from some other source.
Plus, now your client is twice a victim – of the arsonist and of the insurance company.

the second part - the double victim thing - that's a great point.

But there is one thing I do know – when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages.

Any of his theories
The Mind at Large, his ideas about the central nervous system…
Secretary of WAR and Defense of the Tyler Greene Fanclub.
not familiar with his work
but I wouldn’t really trust anybody’s “ideas” about the central nervous system.
his idea, from what I've read,
is that the central nervous system filters out information that is deemed unnecessary (by social/societal conditioning and survival instincts) so it severely limits what we can truly see and understand. He thinks that drugs – in the same way as hypnosis and genetic evolution – removes that filter.

that said
he was a polymath and dabbled in many areas. he is one of the more well know figures in the mid-20th century… much of Huxley’s theories are really satire though. he saw Freud as the same as Ford, both are just mechanistic in nature, breaking things down into components. a bit crude to him, and probably vice versa. Huxley was much more the mystic; just both are from opposite trains of thought for the most part. since much of Huxley’s writing is from the first half of the 20th century, it’s sort of difficult to say how relevant he is today, but I’m pretty confidant in saying he was a rather influential historical figure at the very least.
