Shore thing: Kings beat Ducks in OT

Shore thing: Kings beat Ducks in OT

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Two messages were broadcast in advance of the Anaheim Ducks facing the Los Angeles Kings for the first time this season on Tuesday night.

Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said that his team needed to “initiate, not retaliate” against the Kings. Los Angeles defenseman Drew Doughty said that hockey is “fun again” in the Kings’ new, more open style of play under coach John Stevens.

The game contradicted both statements with scrums, fierce checks and an illegal open-ice hit that knocked Anaheim’s Ondrej Kase face-first to the ice and out of the game before the Kings emerged with a 4-3 overtime win.

The teams combined for 51 penalty minutes, including a five-minute interference major and game misconduct for the Kings’ Kurtis MacDermid for the hit on Kase.

Nick Shore scored in overtime, and Jonathan Quick recorded 33 saves for Los Angeles. Prior to the Tuesday game, Anaheim had defeated Los Angeles in 14 of 20 tries.

Shore’s winner, which came at 3:51 of the extra period, was his second goal of the season. He looked goaltender Ryan Miller off with Dustin Brown charging down the slot and scored on a rising wrist shot.

Miller said, “It was an overcorrection on my part. I didn’t make the play on it.”

Shore said, “We had a two-on-one coming down the ice, and (Brown) made a really good play. We got the D and the goalie to bite, and we were fortunate it went in.”

Los Angeles (11-2-2) killed five penalties, including the five-minute major, and scored one power-play goal to win the special-teams battle. The Kings also had two apparent goals disallowed in the third period.

Brown and Anze Kopitar each had a goal and an assist. Anaheim’s Rickard Rakell also notched a goal and an assist.

Kopitar expressed satisfaction with his team’s battle-back attitude.

“There’s really no quit in here,” Kopitar said. “We get down two goals early, but it seemed like there was a sense of calmness on the bench. Nobody panicked, nobody was running around like a maniac. We just kept our cool, kept our composure and started plugging away.”

Anaheim (6-6-3) has won only one of four games against Pacific Division rivals this season.

Ducks No. 1 goalie John Gibson (30 saves on 33 shots) left at 13:07 of the third period after being inadvertently struck with the stick of Los Angeles’ Brooks Laich after his helmet was knocked off by a Doughty slap shot. Miller stopped nine of 10 shots in taking the loss.

“Our goaltending has been outstanding,” Anaheim assistant coach Trent Yawney said. “Going forward, we’re going to need both of them. It’s healthy for our team.”

Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin said: “(Miller) made a couple of big saves and gave us the chance to get into overtime.”

Anaheim opened the scoring on Jared Boll’s first goal of the year at 6:01 of the first period.

The Ducks made it 2-0 at 12:26 of the first period on defenseman Sami Vatanen’s first of the season. Vatanen’s goal came one second after MacDermid’s five-minute interference penalty expired.

The Kings made it 2-1 at 16:58 of the first period when Kopitar scored his eighth goal.

Anaheim opened up a 3-1 lead on a slap shot from inside the blue line by Rakell at 14:52 of the second period, his sixth. Los Angeles challenged for goaltender interference, but the call on the ice stood.

The Kings closed to 3-2 with a goal by Adrian Kempe, his seventh of the year, at 19:01 of the middle period.

Los Angeles tied the game 3-3 on a power-play goal by Brown at 5:49 of the third period, his seventh. Alex Iafallo recorded his second assist of the game on the play.

NOTES: The Ducks confirmed Tuesday that C Ryan Getzlaf had surgery to repair his cheekbone, injured against Carolina on Oct. 29. Getzlaf will be out for up to two months. ... Anaheim C Patrick Eaves, D Cam Fowler and C Ryan Kesler remain on injured reserve. ... The Ducks scratched D Korbinian Holzer, D Jacob Megna and C Kalle Kossila. ... Los Angeles scratched C Nic Dowd and D Christian Folin. ... Kings LW Kyle Clifford, C Jeff Carter and RW Marian Gaborik remain on IR.

Khamenei says Iran will defeat U.S. if Iranian officials do their duty

LONDON, May 23 (Reuters) - Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in his first public remarks since U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo listed 12 demands of Tehran, said on Wednesday that Iran would defeat the United States if Iranian officials did their duty, state television reported.

Referring to what he called the fundamental and deep enmity of the United States towards the Islamic Republic, Khamenei said, according to state television: “There is no doubt that the Americans will be defeated ... provided Iranian officials fully perform their duties.” (Reporting Bozorgmehr Sharafedin, Editing by William Maclean)

UPDATE 2-Russia's Safmar moves Russneft stake to help rescue B&N Bank

(Adds VTB comments)

By Oksana Kobzeva and Andrey Ostroukh

MOSCOW, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Russian industrial group Safmar has transferred its shareholdings in a number of companies, including oil company Russneft, to Safmar’s Rost and B&N banks as part of a bailout process, a central bank deputy chairman said.

B&N and Rost, part of the Safmar group controlled by tycoon Mikhail Gutseriyev’s family, were taken over by the central bank last month. The move came less than a month after the bailout of Otkritie, another large Russian lender.

The Gutseriyev family has promised to transfer assets worth over 300 billion roubles ($5.2 billion) to its banking group to reduce the central bank’s contribution to the bailout.

Investments in house builder Inteko and oil company Russneft were among those moved.

“There are shares in Inteko, (housebuilder) A101, Russneft, (chicken) broiler production, cement factories, sawmills and nanotechnology on the list of the assets transferred,” an official at the central bank told reporters on Tuesday.

Apart from assets mentioned, Safmar’s interests also include another oil company, Neftisa.

Pozdyshev did not say how much of each company was transferred to Rost and B&N but said that for Russneft it included ordinary and preferred shares.

Pozdyshev said that stakes in some of the assets are held as collateral and the banks who hold the collateral should agree on the transfer. “Some agree, some ask for talks with us,” he said without elaborating.

Stakes in Russneft and Russia’s largest home electronics retailer M.Video are held as collateral for loans granted by VTB, Russia’s second-biggest bank. Sberbank , the country’s biggest lender, has a minority stake in Inteko and loans with Neftisa.

“There have been no changes in the company’s structure of debt procurement. The Russneft debt to the bank has been stably serviced,” VTB bank said in emailed comments.

Yuri Solovyov, VTB’s first deputy chief executive, has told Reuters that Russneft and M.Video’s debts were serviced and the bank did not have plans to execute its rights over the collateral.

North Korea's Kim visits Singapore's sky bar, gardens in surprise evening tour

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong Un went on an evening tour of Singapore on Monday, posing with city-state officials at a tropical garden before visiting an infinity pool atop a landmark waterfront hotel, to the surprise of guests.

North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, accompanied by Singapore's Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, visits Singapore. KCNA via REUTERS

Kim arrived in Singapore on Sunday for a historic summit with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday aimed at getting North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons and missiles in exchange for economic incentives and security guarantees.

The young North Korean leader is staying under heavy guard at a city center hotel and had not appeared in public on Monday until about 9 p.m., when one of his security officials buzzing about the hotel lobby shouted “It’s all ready!”

Kim suddenly emerged in his trademark Mao-style suit to walk out to his black limousine, accompanied by his sister, Kim Yo Jong, and aides.

Reuters staff around the city tracked his motorcade, which included bus loads of security personnel and aides, escorted by dozens of Singapore police officers on motorbikes.

His first stop was a park with futuristic, tree-shaped installations, Gardens by the Bay, which also boasts the largest glass greenhouse and tallest indoor waterfall in the world.

He joined Singapore’s foreign minister, Vivian Balakrishnan, who tweeted a selfie with a smiling Kim and Singapore Education Minister Ong Ye Kung, against a backdrop of flowers with the hashtag #Guesswhere.

Kim thanked the Singapore officials for showing him around so late at night, the North’s state news agency said on Tuesday.

Kim then stopped at the Marina Bay Sands hotel, which resembles a giant surfboard perched on three tall columns, for a look out over the bright city lights from its rooftop garden and infinity swimming pool.

Singapore was “clean and beautiful”, Kim said on the observation deck, adding that he aimed to learn from the knowledge and experience of the southeast Asian nation, as he found it impressive, the official KCNA news agency added.

Surprised guests enjoying the relative cool of the tropical evening took pictures of a waving Kim with their cameraphones.

On the way back to his hotel, Kim walked along a promenade near the Merlion, a giant statue, and fountain, of a mythical creature, half lion, half fish - Singapore’s unofficial mascot.

Kim’s trip to Singapore is his furthest journey he has made since taking power in late 2011 upon his father’s death.

He has made two trips to China since March to meet President Xi Jinping, and held summit talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in April and May in the Demilitarized Zone, which separates the two Koreas.

His excursion out of the hotel caused a big stir with guests who were told to get behind a barricade while dozens of North Korean security men and Singapore police officers and government officials blocked off the lobby.

“Oh my God, is Kim Jong Un coming?” shouted one guest, shortly before he appeared to set off for his evening jaunt.

Breaking News

U.S. Military Says It Suspected Taliban Imposter

U.S. Admiral Mike Mullen
The top U.S. military officer has told CNN that U.S. authorities had long suspected that a self-described Taliban leader was an imposter, even as he engaged with Kabul over reconciliation.

Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also said he did not believe the imposter ever met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Mullen also rejected the suggestion of an intelligence breakdown, saying "the intel world actually tipped us in the right direction with respect to that."

"The New York Times" reported this week that a man it had described as a "Taliban leader," who it said had taken part in secret peace talks, was in fact an impostor.

It said the man met Karzai and was given "a lot of money."

Benefits and risks when forceps are used during childbirth

Although most expectant mothers will not have to deal with forceps being used during delivery, it is helpful to be aware of this tool in case the need arises. A New York physician may discuss a variety of situations if a baby's weight is significant or if a mother has had a prior difficult delivery because of positioning issues or baby size. Even if these scenarios are not discussed as the due date draws near, an understanding of the process may help with stress if the need arises.

Forceps appear much like salad spoons and are used to guide a baby's head if progress is impeded. A tired mother might reach the point at which she can no longer push. A medical issue could make further pushing risky for the mother or for the child. Signs of stress in the baby might indicate the need for intervention with forceps. An extended period of pushing may also indicate the need for forceps to be used.

Forceps cannot be used unless the baby has progressed down the birth canal sufficiently. The position of the head and face is also important. Caution should be exercised to avoid injuries. Although some potential birth injuries related to the use of forceps are minor, nerve damage or bleeding inside the head can be quite serious, posing the risk of potentially long-term consequences. In some cases, a cesarean section will be performed if the use of forceps is unsuccessful. In other cases, a physician may insist on a C-section instead of resorting to the use of forceps so that the well-being of a baby is not jeopardized.

A birth injury such as brachial plexus can occur in some cases involving the pulling of a baby from the birth canal. If such an injury occurs because of the misuse of forceps or because obvious risks were ignored, a parent might have grounds for a medical malpractice claim.

SLAMMED! Is Interactive Fiction With Kayfabe

The best there is, was, and ever will be?

I didn’t grow up in a house where wrestling was ever on TV, so WWF was only ever this strange thing that made my friends want to “choke slam” and “clothesline” me, or otherwise do unpleasant things to one another. Yet still I’ve picked up enough residual love from Craig to think this is cool. SLAMMED! is an interactive fiction game about wrestling, and it has a kayfabe stat.

It also has a ‘promo ability’ stat. Its early choices, as played in the demo, let you choose your name, gender, style, and whether you’re a face or a heel, as part of putting together a promo video. Me? I’m Dwayne Blood, aka Ender Gallow.

You consider your eloquence on the microphone to be your greatest asset. If there is one thing that all the professional wrestling greats have in common, it’s their charisma. Promo ability is what separates the stars from the scenery.

It spirals out from there, through your first fight and onwards, and the demo is pretty generous. You might like it. If you do, it’s £2.49 from the Chrome web store.

I’m now imagining a Crusader Kings-style RPG about wrestlers. I want to live out my Dink and Doink dreams.

If you like your white wines with an exuberant personality – head to Alsace.  There is no other region in France where you can find such thrilling white wines with expressive aromas, textural richness and savoury vinosity all in one glass.

In this tiny region sandwiched between Germany’s river Rhine and the beautiful wood-topped Vosges mountains, the microclimate is so warm its largest town Colmar is the second driest in the whole of France, after Perpignan.  The combination of warm temperatures, low rainfall and a mosaic of ancient soils aid grape ripeness, whilst retaining acidity and minerality.

Alsace sceneryThe result is a foodies dream.  A heady aromatic overload with a full dry steely palate making Alsace Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer, the most food friendly whites in the world – many handcrafted by small families who have been in business since C17, despite constant wartime torment.  The people of Alsace are a resilient bunch.

Whilst the prices of Alsace’s white wines today are never cheap, the top wines are relatively inexpensive alongside Burgundy.  Quality in Alsace is often more consistent and the exotic nuance and dry steely style is totally unique.

Whilst easy to recognise, all bottled in stylish tall green flutes, and easy to understand – with varietal labelling – one issue many people have is whether the wine is dry or sweet.

Interestingly, the drier tighter more austere styles are made by negociant Protestant families like Trimbach, Hugel or Schlumberger, who often trained at Geisenheim in Germany – and their Rieslings are often the best.  The sweeter textured more ebullient styles made by the Catholic winemakers near Colmar who trained in Burgundy, like Rolly Gassmann, major in Pinot Gris.

It might seem surprising that Pinot Noir is Alsace’s oldest grape, as today the region is dominated by whites, with 90% of plantings.  Reds have for years been disappointingly thin and second-rate, tasting like a poor imitation of Burgundy.  Tellingly, Pinot Noir is also not allowed to be labelled Grand Cru, even if it comes from a designated vineyard – but this may change.

Now a new generation of Alsace winemakers, fresh from travels abroad to Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, have been rethinking their approach to Pinot Noir.  Reduced yields, selected sites and prolonged ripeness aided by a warming climate – wineries like Paul Blanck, Albert Mann, Olivier Zind Humbrecht and Martin Schaetzel are now making impressive reds at last.  Alsace really deserves to be better known.

Widows' Peak Photos

Movie Info

In the Irish town of Kilshannon in the 1920s, a matriarchal clique of widows tightly sets the rules for behavior. Heading the town's ruling circle is the doughty Mrs. Counihan (Joan Plowright). The only non-widow in town is a reclusive middle-aged spinster, Miss O'Hare (Mia Farrow), who seems to be guarding some kind of secret. Crashing into this provincial coterie is dashing, urbane Edwina Broome (Natasha Richardson), who immediately starts feuding with O'Hare, for no apparent good reason. Broome mangles O'Hare's prize roses and bumps her skiff in a boat race. Counihan's dimwitted son, Godfrey (Adrian Dunbar), proposes marriage to Edwina. Eventually, the true motives of all involved are revealed.

Critic Reviews for Widows' Peak

All Critics (16) | Top Critics (3)

Widows' Peak is chiefly a comedy, and the main weakness is the choice of director -- John Irvin -- who is best known for action movies and, on this evidence, should stick with them.

November 13, 2017 | Full Review…

Fine Line is trying to lure the same female viewers that embraced Enchanted April to htis mediocre comedy-mystery, starring Mia Farrow in her first non-Wood Allen picture; Joan Plowright as a domineering widow steals the show--again.

December 22, 2006 | Rating: C | Full Review…

Fun for the whole family. Add a star if you're both Irish and widowed.

April 22, 2005 | Rating: 3.5/5

a low-key character comedy that's worth a look

July 29, 2002 | Rating: 3/5

A diverting and well-acted English film with just the right mix of comedy and mystery.

A history of the foundation of the 49er Class

In September 1996, a group of top-flight sailors travelled from around the world to Lake Garda for a trial of many different classes, to see which would go forward as the new twin-trapeze skiff for the Olympics in Sydney 2000. There were a number of new designs to consider, including the Laser 5000 and the Nautivela Jet, as well as a few older classes that had been revamped to do battle in the twin-trapeze arena, boats such as a Flying Dutchman modified with bowsprit, asymmetric spinnaker and an extra set of trapezes. However, after an intensive week of trialling these various designs, the 49er proved to be the clear favourite with the sailors, and by November 1996 it had been ratified as the new Olympic skiff.

The task now was to meet the immediate global demand for so many 49ers. As with any Olympic class, the busiest market would be Europe and the job of churning out consistent, reliable 49ers in Europe would go to Ovington Boats, based in Tynemouth in the north-east of England. Dave Ovington ' or Ovi to his friends and colleagues - had been building hi-tech boats such as 18-foot skiffs and International 14s for many years already, so he seemed the ideal man for the job.

The first year of production was manic, with an eight-month waiting list developing within a matter of days of the 49er's Olympic future being confirmed at the ISAF Annual Conference in November 1996. Ovington and the other builders around the world worked at full capacity for the first year, and for the class's first international regatta - the European Championships held in Weymouth in September 1997 - there were already 80 boats competing.

The 49er had become an overnight success. And 10 years later new 49ers continue to roll out of the Tynemouth factory ' but without Dave Ovington at the helm. Ovi's sudden death last year shocked the sailing community and left the boatbuilding company without its figurehead. Now Ovington Boats is being run by a trio of experts, each responsible for their own area of the business. Veronica Brown holds the purse strings, and she has been Ovington Boats' accountant for years; Dave Hall is responsible for sales and marketing, a role he has held since 1998; and Chris Turner was signed up as the boatbuilding expertise, his knowledge of hi-tech construction an invaluable asset to the company in the absence of Ovi's expertise.

It is hard to overestimate the impact that Dave Ovington had on the business, and Dave Hall admits that the past year has been tough emotionally. 'It was terrible when Ovi died. He was such a great guy, such a driving force here, how do you deal with someone like that disappearing? But actually the biggest thing we noticed since then is how the sailing public carried on as normal. They've kept their faith in Ovington Boats throughout. For the past 18 months, we've been flat out. We're still turning out the boats. We've got the same skilled people building the boats, their enthusiasm and loyalty is amazing. Very few of our people sail, which is probably a good thing because they'd take too much time off! But they're very proud of the quality of boats that they produce.'

Ovington Boats consists of 15 people, and aside from a steady production of 49ers, it makes other dinghies and small keelboats such as the International 14, the 505 and the Flying Fifteen. By far the biggest thing for the company right now, however, is the 29er, the smaller cousin of the 49er. Dave Hall estimates that the company's production of 29ers in 2006 will exceed 170. 'It really is full-on. We've got a waiting list of more than two months for the 29er,' says Dave, who anticipates production remaining high for the foreseeable future, with the lightweight skiff set to be the doublehanded class for the next two ISAF Youth World Championships in Canada and Denmark, and quite possibly for Brazil in 2009.

As if that weren't enough to keep Dave Hall occupied, there is the recent arrival of the 29er to keep him on his toes. A suped-up 29er with twin trapezes and a bigger rig and sail plan, Julian Bethwaite has designed the 29er specifically with the aim of becoming the women's Olympic double-handed skiff. Whether or not that happens depends a good deal on politics, but the 49er and 29er have already laid the groundwork for its acceptance.

It's hard to imagine that a boat that looks so up to date as the 49er has been around for a decade already. Almost a thousand boats later, it has become a modern design classic. Dave Hall comments: 'The 49er is the boat by which all others are judged, and it has changed the face of sailing. It has brought skiff sailing to everyone. We've got boats that match today's era, they look appropriate for the 21st century, and they bring high-performance thrills for low cost and very little maintenance.'

Using a TV Antenna Tap as a Directional Coupler for Antenna Measurements with an RTL-SDR

Over on his blog Tomi Engdahl has been exploring his options for measuring the VSWR of antennas with an RTL-SDR. As discussed in one of our previous tutorials, by using an RTL-SDR, noise source and directional coupler it is possible to roughly estimate the resonant frequency of an antenna.

However, being without a directional coupler Tomi looked for other options and realized that cheap TV antenna network taps are also directional couplers. Taps are commonly used with Cable and Satellite TV installations to split a signal from an antenna over multiple TVs. They are designed as directional couplers to ensure that unwanted signals do not feed back into the antenna system and so that there is a pass through port to continue the strong signal down a long cable.

Note that there is a difference between a tap and a splitter. Taps are used when multiple devices need a signal over a long run of cabling. A splitter divides the signal strength by the number of out ports and can feedback unwanted signals into the system.

Taps vs. Splitter Example (Source:
Taps vs. Splitter Example (Source:

In his tests Tomi found that TV taps worked acceptably well to determine the resonance frequency of an antenna that he was testing. Taps can be found for as cheap as $2 on sites like eBay, although for some listings it is unclear over what frequency range they work well at as sellers assume that they will be used for TV frequencies.

Tomi also tested to see if he could use a signal splitter instead of a directional coupler tap. His results showed that the splitter still worked, and he was able to see the resonant points, but the results where not as good as with the directional coupler.

Measuring the resonant point of a antenna with a noise source, tap, and RTL-SDR.

    “cheap TV antenna network taps are also directional couplers”

    Whoa there… That’s often NOT true. It is possible (easier & cheaper) to loosely bi-directionally couple a transmission line compared with using a a directional coupler. The coupling loss doesn’t directionally isolate the taps, but the relatively high loss works well enough as-is for isolation. There are unequal splitters of various types (lumped element, transmission line, etc.) and topology/approach (split-Wilkinson, branchline, Gysel, rat-race, etc.). Some are directional, some are not.

  2. mbart

    Tried this with two cheap tv taps from one local store. -8dB and -20dB taps. Tried to test home different home made antennas (ground pane quarter-wave monopole (433, 1090), QFH for 137 MHz, collinear 1090). Antenna connected to input via short coax, noise source to output and v2 dongle to tap.
    The result is quite similar for both tv taps. But if I change the length of coax between input and antenna resonant frequency changes (for example 450 MHz for short coax and 433 for a bit longer). Tried different coax length – the resulting plot are very, very different.
    What am I doing wrong (I’m not good in all this radio stuff, just trying to reproduce some tutorials from this blog)?

RUSH: Here are some of the State-Controlled Media headlines about the health care summit yesterday. Washington Post: ‘Summit Fails to Bridge Partisan Gaps on Health Reform.’ Story details: ‘Democrats…are not being honest enough about the costs. … Mr. Obama had a disturbing tendency to dismiss arguments he disagreed with as stale ‘talking points,” and there were no raves for Obama in any of the major papers. Zip, zero, nada. From The Politico: ‘The Aftermath of the Health Care Summit: Confusion, Conflict,’ and the summary of this story is that if the goal was to make Republicans look bad, it failed. It also says the bill that changes the Senate bill that hasn’t passed can’t be done via reconciliation.

Republicans looked reasonable and sincere, it says — as though that’s odd! But, to these people, it is odd. ‘News Channels Quickly Lose Interest in Summit.’ This is the State-Controlled Associated Press as published in the New York Times. The claim here is that Obama ‘came off like any opinionated cable TV host.’ Roland Martin, CNN to Wolf Blitzer: ‘I wouldn’t score it,’ which Roland, easy to see why: There’s nothing to score. No raves from Chris Matthews. He was upset that Obama kept calling these guys by their first names rather than ‘Senator’ this or ‘Representative’ that. So he was most upset about the protocols. Then, again, from The Politico: ‘Truth-Squading the Summit,’ and this story points out how Harry Reid, Tom Harkin, and Obama are all lying — Reid on reconciliation, Harkin on including Republican reforms, and Obama on people losing their current coverage on higher premiums.

I mean, this is not… Folks, I actually thought that what we were going to get here was rave reviews for Obama, but it was so bad that all they can do is say that it was a tie. And when they say it’s a tie, that means that it was a clean sweep for the Republicans. And I’ll tell you, the two stars — and it’s hard to select two. Paul Ryan just ate Obama’s lunch yesterday. I hope some of you had a chance to see the video of Obama’s piercing, piercing expression on his face. He was ticked. He was angry. This is not at all how it was supposed to go. Ditto Eric Cantor. These guys just did a superb job. And we got audio sound bites to review some of this when we come back from the break here at the bottom of the hour. I got a couple from Paul Ryan that I definitely want you to hear.

RUSH: I love this headline from the Heritage Foundation’s Morning Bell blog: ‘Somebody Needs to Tell the President His Health Care Plan is Dead.’ Really that kind of sums it up. It’s dead. Here’s Paul Ryan at the health care summit. This sent Obama into rage. You could see it.

PAUL RYAN: This is a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud. When you take a look at the Medicare cuts, what this bill essentially does, is it treats Medicare like a piggy bank. It raids a half a trillion dollars out of Medicare not to shore up Medicare solvency but to spend on this new government program. When you strip out the double counting and what I would call these ‘gimmicks,’ the full ten-year cost of this bill has a $460 billion deficit. The second ten-year cost of this bill has a $1.4 trillion deficit. Hiding spending does not reduce spending, and so when you take a look at all this it just doesn’t add up.

RUSH: Now, Obama is seething. He’s sitting there, his lips are pursed and has a got two fingers up on his lips, emphasizing one of them. He does this. He’s been caught doing this numerous times, even in his career as a US Senator — and he comes out and says, ‘Paul, this is all well and good but we gotta dispense with the talking points, here. If we’re going to have a conversation we gotta dispense with the theatrics and the talking points,’ but Ryan was having none of it.

PAUL RYAN: We’ve been talking about how much we agree on different issues, but there really is a difference between us, and it’s basically this: We don’t think the government should be in control of all of this; we want people to be in control — and that, at the end of the day, is the big difference. We are all representatives of the American people. We all do town hall meetings, we all talk to our constituents, and I’ve gotta tell you: The American people are engaged. And if you think they want a government takeover of health care, I would respectfully submit you’re not listening to them.

RUSH: That is bold talk for a lowly little congressman to spew right in the face of our new young president, Barack Obama, basically telling him… (laughing) I loved it, and I want to hear from all of you who have been sending me these vicious e-mails all week about how there’s no difference in the two parties, that the Republicans and the Democrats are all the same. I want to hear from you. Give me that analysis and let me know how that works on the health care summit. Now, Ed, jump forward to sound bites 28 through 30, because Mike Pence was on Andrea Mitchell (NBC News, Washington)’s show yesterday afternoon, and Pence was panning Obama’s performance on the health care summit. Andrea doesn’t like it. First question: ‘The most remarkable exchange, I think so far, was between the combatants in the ’08 campaign, McCain and Obama. What’s your impression?’

PENCE: This isn’t good government. It’s bad TV. I gotta tell you, I’m not impressed with what we’re seeing. For all the president’s, you know, repeated, somewhat condescending statements about, as he said to John McCain ‘the campaign is over’ and ‘we gotta get away from talking points,’ all we got from the president today is talking points.

MITCHELL: (crosstalk) With all due respect, Congressman —

PENCE: All we got is the president restating the bill that he dumped on the American people on Monday, and the American people want to scrap it and move on.

RUSH: ‘With all due respect, Congressman.’ Andrea is trying to get in there and defend her new young president, but Pence did not come up for air. So she waited and asked another question. ‘Let’s say that there were talking points in the president and his colleagues, Democrats. What’s not a talking point? From what everybody from Lamar Alexander presented very nicely… Talking points from the Republican side has been, ‘Let’s start over.’ So do we ever get past these two sets of talking points?’

PENCE: It really all begins with the president being willing to start with a clean sheet of paper, which he’s obviously not willing to do. Instead the president started out with a loooong monologue defending his government takeover of health care, and I gotta tell you, I really think the real winner today is The Price is Right.

RUSH: (laughing)

PENCE: I mean, I gotta think that millions of Americans, you know, saw this as TV Land and not real negotiation and tuned over to another channel pretty quick.

RUSH: (laughing) ‘The real winner of this was The Price is Right.’ And, you know, Andrea is sitting there upset. None of this went according to plan. When the day was over yesterday, Republicans were to have been shamed and shocked and embarrassed into never showing their faces in Washington again. Obama was supposed to have just run over them like a Zamboni machine getting the ice ready.

RUSH: You want to hear part of how Obama closed? ‘Cause Pence here is talking about the real winner here was Price Is Right. The Republicans got two hours yesterday, total. Obama and his gang got four and then when he was getting the last word, Obama closed the summit with a threat!

He said, ‘I don’t think, Tom, we’re going to have another one of these because people don’t have seven to eight hours a day to work some of these things through.’ So Obama admits it was a total waste of time. Senators don’t have time to be dealing with issues like nationalizing one-sixth of the economy. So Obama then said, ‘What I do know is this: If we saw a movement — significant movement, not just gestures — then you wouldn’t need to start over because essentially everybody knows what the issues are and procedurally it could get done fairly quickly. We can’t have another year-long debate about this.

‘The question I’m again asking myself and I ask all of you is: Is there enough serious effort that in a month’s time or a few weeks’ time, six weeks’ time, we could actually resolve something? And if we can’t, I think we have to go ahead and make some decisions, and that’s what elections are for. We have honest disagreements about the vision for the country and we’ll go ahead and test those out over here the next several months until November.’ All right. He knows what’s going to happen. Dingy Harry knows. He’s toast! Dingy Harry knows it. Obama knows a lot of Democrats are toast in the House and Senate. The story is out today that Pelosi’s lost control of the House, lost control of the Democrats in the House. This Rangel thing is not good for her.

And, let’s see, there’s the Rangel thing, and then there’s — Oh! They’re gumming up the works on this jobs bill the Senate sent over. Nobody wants any part of it because it’s not big enough. The Congressional Black Caucus says, ‘What do you mean $15 billion? Well, that’s not serious graft. You expect us to be able to do anything with that?’ So they wanted the original $85 billion that Dingy Harry put together. This is a delight to watch.

RUSH: Back to Andrea Mitchell (NBC News, Washington). She said, ‘Well, aren’t they saying, ‘Let’s come up with a smaller package’? He’s not saying, ‘Let’s go back to the Senate bill,’ even though Eric Cantor brought the whole Senate bill.’

PENCE: Oh, gosh, Andrea. When did he say, ‘Let’s go to a smaller bill’? He didn’t rule out the use of reconciliation. Harry Reid, oddly, denied that he’s been talking about reconciliation. That would certainly be news to most of the reporters here in Washington. What I think the American people have seen is almost like a professor with a petulant group of students. He has repeatedly interrupted Republicans. What I see is a lot of political posturing, a lot sentimental statements by Democrats around the table that all seem designed to get us to a point where they can throw their hands up in the air and say to the American public, ‘You know what? We tried, but now we’re just going to have to ram through that government takeover of health care that these Republicans aren’t willing to help us with.’

RUSH: Professorial. Obama, he came across as a lecturer yesterday. But you know why it didn’t work? Remember, now, when Obama went out to the Republican retreat in Baltimore, he was at a podium that was raised on a stage. So he was physically, if not in stature, elevated above the audience. Here, he was just one of a whole bunch of schlubs at the same table on the same size chair and there was no echo. There was no God echo and Obama wasn’t any bigger than anybody else. He was not elevated. And Pence is right: Those Democrats came across petulant. Harry Reid, it’s like… I don’t know. It’s like he was sitting on something and he didn’t want to admit it so it just irritated him all day.

RUSH: Jamie in Petaluma, California, nice to have you up first today on Open Line Friday. Hi.

CALLER: Thank you, Mr. Limbaugh. First of all let me say thank you so very much for being the tip of the conservative spear that’s being thrust into the soft squishy yellow belly of liberal idiocy and hypocrisy. Thank you.

RUSH: My honor, sir.

CALLER: Basically yesterday, aside from watching each politician trying to one-up each other with who has the worst health care sob story, I noticed that Obama stated that everyone must be a part of the government plan because a larger pool of insured people creates lower prices for insurance.

RUSH: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: Well, that’s the exact same reason why Anthem Blue Cross is raising their rates and yet he excoriated and ripped on them mercilessly for raising their rates. If Anthem Blue Cross stated that the reason why they’re raising their rates is because they had a large group of healthy insureds drop out of the insurance pool, and they have more unhealthy people —

RUSH: That’s right.

CALLER: — that they’re having to cut the costs for, isn’t that a little bit hippocratic?

RUSH: Right. And why did they drop out? Because the economy’s in bad shape, and they had to make other priorities, like eating, before having health care.

CALLER: Yeah, Steve Poizner, who is the insurance commissioner of California running for governor, sitting here acting shocked and surprised about the rate increases. And yet one thing a lot of people don’t know is that any insurance increase by any company is applied for many months in advance and that the insurance commissioner’s office has to approve of any rate increases or decreases. So either Mr. Poizner has no idea what’s going on in his own office or he knew about it and chose to go after Blue Cross anyway.

RUSH: He’s a bureaucrat. Why would you expect him to know what’s going on in his office or anybody else’s?

CALLER: Exactly. So Mr. Limbaugh, thank you once again so much —

RUSH: Thank you, Jamie.

CALLER: — for being the leader that you are. We appreciate it.

RUSH: Really appreciate that. I love being the tip of the spear. By the way, I have a piece here, William Tucker at the American Spectator today. It’s got some interesting little factoids in it. ‘About halfway through yesterday’s all-day healthcare summit, Democratic Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina told another of the many insurance horror stories that peppered the proceedings.’ This is Clyburn: I was talking to a man recently who had undergone a transplant. And when he was done, he was horrified to learn that his insurance would only cover follow-up procedures for three years. After that he’d have to pay with his own money! ‘A gentleman was called in and he was very, very emotional. He was getting ready to have transplant surgery. But he was told that because he’s on Medicare, his post-operative treatment is going to be limited to three years. After that, he’s going to have to find some way to pay. He was very, very emotional.’

‘Think about that for a minute. The patient is about to receive a transplanted organ (the Congressman didn’t specify what it was) and the horror –‘ he’s gonna get a totally paid for transplant. The horror is that he was going to have to start paying his postop bills in three years. ‘If this is the worst we can say about American medicine, are we really in that bad shape after all?’ I have a different observation on this. I mean look at where we are with this. This guy about had an emotional breakdown because he was told he’s gotta start paying his own medical bills after three years, he gets a free transplant, he gets a free aftercare for three years and then he’s on his own and he’s mad and thinks he’s getting screwed.

Here’s another little factoid. ‘Only 6 percent of the population actually buys their own insurance. (And for this, we are painting the insurance companies as the villains of this melodrama?) Fourteen percent of the population is on Medicare, 14 percent on Medicaid. The other 66 percent do not have insurance but health benefits, which is not the same thing. Nine percent gets its benefits from government employment, 4 percent from the military and the remaining 43 percent get their benefits from private employment,’ and it’s tax-free, by the way. Your health benefits that you get at work are tax-free. You’re not buying insurance at all. Your employer is. Now, you may have copays and deductibles and so forth, but you’re not buying insurance policies, your company is. Only 6% of the population actually buys their own insurance and yet we’re going to blow up private insurance for this.

You want to hear another statistic? When I heard this, this blew my mind. You could take the annual profits of the private health insurance companies and buy health insurance for people for two days. You could combine all the annual profits of the private sector health insurance business and you’d have enough money to buy health coverage for Americans for two days. And yet Obama and the Democrats rail about these obscene profits that are being made by private insurance companies.

RUSH: Couple more sound bites before we go to the break. I want you to hear Kent Conrad from the health care summit yesterday afternoon at the Blair House. If you think that the death panels are out of this bill, listen to Kent Conrad.

CONRAD: Five percent use 50% of the money. Who are they? They’re the chronically ill, people who have multiple serious conditions. A study was done with 20,000 patients. They put a care coordinator on each one of them. These are chronically ill patients. And what they found was by coordinating their care — and the first thing they did, by the way, was go into their kitchen tables, sit down, get out all their prescription drugs, on average they found they were taking 16. They found that by looking at them, they could eliminate eight. The result was hundreds of thousands of dollars of savings per patient.

RUSH: Now, who do you think this 5% using 50% of health care money is? Who do you think the chronically ill are? The elderly, exactly right. And don’t forget, the New York Times declared war on the elderly in one of their blogs this week. We told you about how these people, they’re soaking up all the freebies, they’re getting all the benefits, it’s just not fair out there. So here’s Kent Conrad, 5% use 50% — and, you know, what else? They’re a bunch of druggies. They walk in there and they got 16 different prescriptions, we find out they could get by with eight. You think that there aren’t death panels. (laughing) Think again. John Boehner eloquently destroyed Obama’s bill yesterday and its entire premise.

BOEHNER: Having the government takeover of health care, and I believe that’s what this is, is a dangerous experiment with the best health care system in the world. At a time when our economy is struggling, the last thing we need to do is to be raising taxes on the American people. You’ve got the individual mandate in here which I think is unwise and I do believe is unconstitutional. Mr. President, what we’ve been saying for a long time is let’s scrap the bill. Let’s start with a clean sheet of paper on those things that we can agree on.

RUSH: Whoa, he just sat there and told the Bamster that his bill is unconstitutional. These guys were on fire yesterday, and they were likable when they were on fire, and it was the Democrats that looked like a bunch of spoiled rotten little brats, petulant little creeps, arrogant little smug you-know-whats.

RUSH: This morning in Washington Nancy Pelosi had a weekly press conference, and among the things she said was this.

PELOSI: One year ago nearly, March 5th of 2009, the president started this bipartisan conversation at the White House at the summit. It was a great day —

RUSH: Oh, yeah.

PELOSI: — when Senator Kennedy came into the room and said I’m here to enlist as a foot soldier in the fight, in the campaign to pass health care reform. He would later say to the president, this is about the — not about the details of policy, it’s about the character of our country. Many of us carry — carry that with us as we go forward, as we have gone forward in this campaign and brought it to the table yesterday.

RUSH: All right. So yesterday it was, ‘Do it for Paul! Do it for Paul!’ Now it’s, ‘Can we give it one more shot for Ted?’ Back to that. David ‘Rodham’ Gergen last night on CNN, The Situation Room, the host Wolf Blitzer. ‘The Republicans had less speaking time, David, counting the president the Democrats got four hours, the Republicans got two hours but the Republicans took full advantage of the minutes they had.’

GERGEN: Intellectually, the Republicans had the best day they’ve had in years, the best day they’ve had in years. There’s been this perception that Republicans are either brain-dead or just sort of ideologically resistant to anything, they have no ideas and all the rest of it. I thought it was not just people like Lamar Alexander and Tom Coburn but these new people of Ryan and Cantor were fresh. I think they really evened the score and kept it even.

RUSH: Whoa ho-ho-ho! So Gergen says the GOP, which had been perceived by people like him to be intellectually brain-dead were so good that they evened the score. (laughing) They drew even. They were so sharp, these guys were so fresh and so smart, that they got close to being even. Obama was skunked yesterday, and everybody inside and outside the White House knows it. Stephanopoulos, look, whenever you hear them say it’s a tie, it means it was a Republican big win. Diane Sawyer last night on World News Tonight said, ‘George, thumbs up, thumbs down, and for who?’

STEPHANOPOULOS: I think it was probably an honorable draw. You say theater but it was also chess. I mean there’s political chess, as well and both sides I think gained something.

RUSH: Wait a minute. Cue that up. Is that Stephanopoulos? Are we speeding this up or something? I mean this sounds — play this again.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I think it was probably an honorable draw. You say theater but it was also chess. I mean there’s political chess, as well and both sides I think gained something.

RUSH: What? I didn’t even hear what he said the first time because I didn’t believe it was him. Both sides I think gained something? What did the Democrats gain out of this? What did the Republicans have to lose? Republicans really didn’t have much to lose.

RUSH: Barbie in Lakeland, Florida. This is the first Barbie that I have ever heard from. I’ve never had a caller named Barbie, even though it’s in my top ten all-time favorite female names. Hi, Barbie.

CALLER: Hi, Rush. (giggling)

CALLER: The reason I’m calling is to talk about the health care seminar yesterday.

RUSH: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: I was actually very, very proud of the Republicans because they used the Drive-By Media to their advantage yesterday. And I was almost dancing a jig as I was listening to it. Of course after a while I kind of just muted the Dems because they weren’t coming back with a legitimate answer. But I’m very proud of the Republicans yesterday, because they used this opportunity to get their message out against the health care thing.

RUSH: Have you noticed something, however, Barbie?

RUSH: When the president went up to the Republicans’ weekend retreat in Baltimore —

CALLER: Right.

RUSH: — the Drive-Bys thought that was an Obama home run and for the following week we got looped videotape of Obama performing at the Republican thing, right?

RUSH: So yesterday your assessment is right on the money, we got a grand-slam home run from the Republicans for six hours. Have you seen any of it today?

RUSH: None. The buildup was huge and, of course, this is tantamount evidence that the Drive-Bys know for a fact that Obama got skunked by our guys.

CALLER: I know. I loved it. (laughing) But anyway, I was even proud of McCain and Lamar came out and Cantor and I can’t remember that —

RUSH: Paul Ryan.

CALLER: The rookie, the little rookie from — I can’t remember his name, but I mean he really knocked a home run —

RUSH: Paul Ryan.

CALLER: Right, exactly.

RUSH: Yeah, Paul Ryan from Wisconsin.

CALLER: But anyway, I really enjoyed that yesterday. I mean I didn’t watch every single bit because, you know, I do have a life, but I was just very proud yesterday.

RUSH: You’re even proud of McCain, you said?

CALLER: (laughing) Yes. Well, he kind of came back and then he wouldn’t —

RUSH: Well, I did love the fact he got underneath Obama’s very thin skin.

CALLER: I think so. I think he did.

RUSH: He really did. And he came back in the afternoon, I forget what he came back in the afternoon with, but he was firing both barrels. Remember, now, he’s in a reelection campaign. Now it’s time to be conservative.

CALLER: Oh, that’s true.

RUSH: Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

CALLER: Oh, shucks, I forgot about that.

RUSH: That’s right. That’s why I’m here.

CALLER: (laughing) Thank God.

RUSH: Okay, Barbie, great to talk to you. Thank you very much.

CALLER: No, thank you.

RUSH: You bet. Who’s next week here? Carson. Carson in Chicago, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.

CALLER: Hey, Rush, how you doing, buddy?

RUSH: Fine and dandy, sir.

CALLER: Listen, I’m calling up to support you and the Republicans —

RUSH: Carson, would you hang on just a second here?

RUSH: What are you people laughing at on the other side of the window and distracting me? They’re laughing at Barbie’s sultry voice, Carson. That’s what they’re laughing at. Okay, Carson, back to you. Where were you?

CALLER: I was saying that I did watch the seminar yesterday on TV and I was really proud of our Republicans. They really came off as educated, quick on their feet and they made the Democrats just look like a bunch of buffoons which we all know they are.

RUSH: You know they’re listening at the White House. This is not what they had in mind today.

CALLER: Absolutely.

RUSH: They expected this show to be filled with Obama seminar callers ripping the Republicans today and instead it’s just the opposite.

CALLER: Oh, absolutely. I thought they did a great job. Once again they showed that they really stand for their ideas. I loved it when Obama, after finally being cut off at everything, saying we’re just going to shove it through —

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: — and if you don’t like it you can take it out at it elections. You could see the Democrats in back wincing.

RUSH: The whole thing was a sham, as they said yesterday in The Politico, to put a face on gridlock. But the whole thing I think as evidenced by the fact that you don’t see the news media playing any videotape of it all today was a total, total bomb-out for Obama. It wasn’t even close. And the fact that they’re not talking about it at all today is just further evidence. Carson, thanks very much for the call, I appreciate it.

You know, if there’s been any spamming going on this week it’s in my e-mail from people who are telling me I suck because I don’t see the difference between Republicans and Democrats, and, you know, we’ve talked about it all week long, and my good friends, the fact of the matter is, I am stunned when I hear informed people say, ‘Wow, you know, the Republicans really have some ideas.’ Of course they do. It’s not a surprise. I run into the same thing personally that they’re experiencing today. When I go out in public and people meet me who only know me by either listening to this program, or, more importantly, through the media image that the Drive-Bys have created, they are shocked, they are stunned at what a nice guy I am. And just like today, people are shocked that the Republicans have some ideas, shocked that the Republicans could speak and sound intelligent, shocked that the Republicans just didn’t go over there and bend over and die. Shocked! I’m not shocked, especially about the ideas, ’cause the guys that were in that room on the Republican side are conservatives, and there’s a world of difference between them and the Democrats and it was on full display. So it’s a good thing that it happened, I just continually am amazed that people find out that normal, everyday people with ideas are smart, that’s somehow a shock to them. Don’t be shocked by them. That’s who they are.
