January 20, 2011 – Daily Brief

By Jeff — Jeff Wilson

  • Frank Ferry, in first lengthy post-hospital stay interview, credits his doctors, his faith, and his friends praying for him for saving his life following complications from surgery. His son tells the Signal that at one point, Doctors treating Ferry expected he had about 10 minutes to live. Fr. Norm Supanchek, who worked at OLPH and is a Chaplain at Alemany, even gave last rites to Ferry (the Signal reference to the Anointing of the Sick is one of seven Catholic sacraments). Though he’s lost 50 lbs and is weak, he recovered and the bottom two thirds of the Signal article is about God stepping into save Ferry when the physicians thought his recovery impossible. SIGNAL
  • Re: the above. He’s back! And he’s staying on the Council, though he says he’s going to live in the moment and travel more. He even has some words for people who “goad” him at the Council Dais.
  • College of the Canyons may have to turn away 2,126 students amid budget losses of $3.7 million thanks to Governor Jerry Brown’s budget plan. But it could be even worse. If voters don’t approve tax extensions, the cuts could go up to $10 million, resulting in about 6,000 not being able to attend classes at COC.SIGNAL
  • Two more interesting articles today from KHTS and The Signal on OVOV and the SCV’s compliance with the new AB32 law as well as water supplies for the SCV looking ahead 50 years. SIGNAL, KHTS
  • Buck McKeon plus all House Republicans vote to repeal the new Health care law. MCKEON STATEMENT
  • Also interesting: Buck McKeon is not only fighting to keep the Guantanamo Bay detention facility open, but may actually want to expand it, at least according to a military law blogger, who thinks that may be a good idea LAWFARE
  • Attention all SCVers: Today at about 1:05 pm, I want you to stop what you’re doing, walk outside, and gaze intently into the West-North-West skies (generally in the direction of Ventura). Why? At 1:08 pm, Vandenburg Air Force Base is launching its biggest rocket yet, a Delta IV Heavy which will boost a top-secret military reconnaissance satellite into space. It’s too bad this isn’t occurring at dusk when it would be really spectacular, but you should be able to see it regardless LA TIMES Also, keep an eye on Space Flight Now for mission status
  • Developers propose privately-financed $1 billion NFL stadium for downtown Los Angeles LA TIMES
  • Banks, having received billions from taxpayer funded bailouts, are not satisfied with that so many of them are raising fees and monthly charges on formerly free checking accounts. LA TIMES
  • Got nothing to do this weekend? Do you hate the Day Star and wish to stay indoors? Well then why not attend the Patriot Seminar this weekend at Northlake church and learn about the Constitution from conservatives like Rick Green and Joe Messina? Only $75 for couples to get your Founding Fathers freak on WRB
  • Time Ranger: Big John Boston tells us why Val Verde should be renamed the “Ramona Hills,” and says that way back in 1951, during McCarthy’s red scare, a Hart High teacher and World War II vet was nearly fired for showing a US Army-produced documentary on the Soviet’s epic war time effort against the Nazis. WRB
  • What China can teach us ROBERT REICH
  • Lynne Plambeck firing on all cylinders today, explaining how water treatment facilities and expenses will be shouldered by rate payers rather than Newhall Land, if nothing is done about it SIGNAL

    God Bless Frank Ferry for his recovery. If this does not qualify as a miracle I don’t know what does. Welcome back!
  2. PetzJanuary 20, 2011 at 8:18 am
    For the most part, Rick Green will be preaching to the choir, those of us who understand the centrality of strict adherence to the words of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence by our citizens to have a civil enduring society. We are not beholding to the government or judiciary which cannot restrain themselves. The mockers- those who need this seminar the most will not be there, because of their pride and hubris. Here is the fee schedule-which is quite modest when you consider the course material and excellent instructor. Bring your children and grandchildren. Patriot Seminar is a program where you learn about America’s system of government. The Friday night, January 21st, intro is FREE, that’s right no cost. Actual classes will be held on Saturday from 9am to noon, lunch break and then from 1pm to 4pm. Tuition for Saturday’s, January 22nd session is $45 per person and includes the $20 textbook by Rick Green (with foreword by David Barton) which accompanies the class. Couple fee is $60 and Family rate (3 or more family members) is $75
  3. Timothy Myers SRJanuary 20, 2011 at 8:36 am
    Petz: While I generally agree with your points, it concerns me that some are assigning almost religious significance to the Constitution, which in my mind borders on idolatry.
  4. Gang FangJanuary 20, 2011 at 8:40 am
    I second that emotion.
  5. PetzJanuary 20, 2011 at 8:55 am
    Well if the Declaration states that our unalienable rights flow from the Creator…do you teach it or ignore it? How do you not give it religious significance?
  6. 4eyedsueJanuary 20, 2011 at 9:10 am
    Who gets to be the Creator’s interpreter?
  7. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 9:11 am
    Because the Declaration is a man made document…it is not The Bible, it is not Scripture, it is not God speaking to man. It is a document giving a snapshot of the religious language and leanings of its time, and while there are a lot of salient truths in the document, and while it has, relatively speaking, stood the test of time, it is not God’s Word. One thing I find disturbing about the whole Wallbuilders movement is that morality is measured against Barton’s (limited and uneducated) understanding of the founding documents, rather than Christians measuring their morality against The Bible.
  8. NateJanuary 20, 2011 at 9:17 am
    Bible = Mythology
  9. IHeartSCVJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:09 am
    What a spectacularly useful comment, Nate. You’re changing minds!
  10. NateJanuary 20, 2011 at 12:26 pm
    Was I trying to change minds? I was just stating a stone cold fact.
  11. Bill ReynoldsJanuary 20, 2011 at 6:22 pm
    A stone cold atheist fact…
  12. NateJanuary 20, 2011 at 9:22 am
    Petz you are so full of it sometimes. But you are an alright dude.
  13. JeffJanuary 20, 2011 at 9:26 am
    It is not modest. For that price you could take an entire American History 101 class at COC. $26/unit times 3 units equals $78. I’m down for the Constitution but it should be viewed as a living document, a framework of governance, that has failed us in the past (slavery, Civil War) and will likely fail us again in the future. We modern day Americans determine what the Constitution means to us. The founders lived at the tail end of the Enlightenment, and while their work is foundational and important, they didn’t know everything and they, through the compromises they made, set us up to fail just four score and seven years later when 600,000 Americans spilled blood in the battlefields of the north and south. It took another 60 years for women to enjoy full rights, and another 30-50 years after that before blacks could become enfranchised. But by all means, go and have fun. Just don’t expect everyone to buy your “return to the roots” vision for the country.
  14. PetzJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:07 am
    The abolition of slavery in America was planted in the original document. The founders recognized their own frailty and established a means to amend their own document. You will learn more about the founding of this country in an afternoon spent with Wallbuilders than a semester at COC. If your time is worth anything, than you recognize value. Petz will even pay for Jeff to attend. That’s how Petz rolls.
  15. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:18 am
    And yet the abolition of slavery was purposefully excluded from the original documents. Purposefully. On purpose. Uniting the North with the South was more important than recognizing the humanity of slaves. Politics and not paying taxes was more important than the humane treatment of humans. Typing that out makes me think of the current political climate.
  16. PetzJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:30 am
    Do not forget the religious roots of the abolitionist movement while screaming about the “evils” of the founders, many of whom were slave owners. Today, abolitionists would be shouted down and discredited for the religious source of their views
  17. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 1:58 pm
    I dunno about that, Petz. So many of the abolitionist documents still resonate with the general public today — _Uncle Tom’s Cabin_, _Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American slave_, _Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl_, and so many others. Even that movie about Wilbur Wilberforce, _Amazing Grace_. I think that human rights are human rights, and it doesn’t really matter who does the talking. Truth and justice ring true with everyone, eventually. Sometimes it is just a matter of changing the prevailing societal paradigms.
  18. NateJanuary 20, 2011 at 12:27 pm
    How many history class have you taken at COC?
  19. MikeJanuary 20, 2011 at 12:35 pm
    Don’t for get the religious roots of the slaveholders, either. The good guys and the bad guys, the slaves and slaveholders, all prayed to the same god.
  20. john adamsJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:17 am
    Dont forget to add the cost of the needed text books to that course. $100.00+
  21. MikeJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:34 am
    Not anymore. A history 101 course likely requires just one book that you can probably rent for the semester for $18, if it isn’t already available on Google Books.
  22. JeffJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:40 am
    Besides, the comparison isn’t even apt. What are Rick Green’s credentials to teach a one day history seminar? Let’s have a look: “Rick earned his B.B.A. in finance from Angelo State University, his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Texas School of Law, and serves as president of the Torch of Freedom Foundation (www.torchoffreedom.org). He is married, a father of four, and an entrepreneur who has built several successful businesses. Rick has a solid Biblical worldview and is an excellent teacher of how Biblical principles and Christian values relate to current events and every aspect of life.” So we have a lawyer with an undergrad degree in finance teaching a one day course on the Constitution for $50 vs a quality semester-long course in American history taught by someone with the minimum of a master’s degree in the subject, and quite likely a Ph.D for about $100. Oh but wait. I forgot. Professors are part of the liberal elite. Now it all makes sense. Petz, John Adams, are you students at Glenn Beck University also?
  23. PetzJanuary 20, 2011 at 11:24 am
    Obama graduated from Harvard Law School, was a p/t back bench law professor in Chicago and would not source unalienable rights to the Creator until shamed to do so. Joe Messina will get Jeff VIP seating and a meet and greet.
  24. Timothy Myers SRJanuary 20, 2011 at 11:30 am
    University of Texas law school is Tier One. That degree not to be taken lightly.
  25. NateJanuary 20, 2011 at 12:47 pm
    Rental is still $60 on a hundred dollar book from the book store. There are a very small selection of books that can be rented from financial aid for a few bucks but they are first come first serve and only to those who qualify.
  26. MikeJanuary 20, 2011 at 1:53 pm
    Better rates from Chegg, and plus, Hist 101 type books tend to be less & widely available.
  27. Coastal SageJanuary 20, 2011 at 11:21 am
    Jeff says: “We modern day Americans determine what the Constitution means to us”. Sorry Jeff, that’s not how it works. The 5 member majority of the U.S. Supreme Court determines what the Constitution means. Anyone else’s determination of what it means is just irrelevant opinion. Yesterday, 2 of the Supremes said that there is no right to privacy. Last week 1 of the Supremes said that the 14th Amendment’s text only applies to black men, leaving out women, Jews, and men of color who are not negro. (I guess that defeated Equal Rights Amendment was important after all.) Those of us who do worship the Constitution realize that America is only one Justice, and one Presidential election, away from the crazies on the Supreme Court having a majority.
  28. John AdamsJanuary 20, 2011 at 12:06 pm
    Sounds like he is more than qualified to be President of the USA?
  29. john adamsJanuary 20, 2011 at 4:54 pm
    I wonder who knows more about the Constitution Rick Green or Rep John Lewis from Ga? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COTN349d-4Y (From his website) John Lewis holds a B.A. in Religion and Philosophy from Fisk University, and he is a graduate of the American Baptist Theological Seminary, both in Nashville, Tennessee. He has been awarded over 50 honorary degrees from prestigious colleges and universities throughout the United States, including Spelman College, Princeton University, University of New Hampshire, Johnson C. Smith University, Delaware State University Duke University, Morehouse College, Clark-Atlanta University, Howard University, Brandeis University, Columbia University, Fisk University, Williams College, Georgetown University, and Troy State University.
  30. JeffJanuary 20, 2011 at 5:16 pm
    Really? You’re comparing John Lewis -who bled while trying to attain the rights promised to him in the Constitution- with Rick Green?
  31. john adamsJanuary 20, 2011 at 6:26 pm
    No not comparing them at all. It would be comparing a person that knows the constitution to one that does not have a clue.
  32. CCJanuary 20, 2011 at 8:32 am
    I’m going get food for my soul and go to the LA Art Fair at the Convention Center. Then I might stop at wurstküche for some Bier
  33. ScottEJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:51 am
    Predator/Prey combo favorite: Rattlesnake & Rabbit Sausage … it’s good to be high on the food chain!
  34. CCJanuary 20, 2011 at 11:24 am
    Hmmm, I might have to take the train so I can get the combo with several biers.
  35. navigatorJanuary 20, 2011 at 9:25 am
    No matter your belief in a supreme being, or not, if our country continues on its downward trend we will all be able to celebrate and dance in the streets all day and all night because, just as in all the other 3rd world countries, there won’t be any jobs left and the jobless will have depleted the hand-out trough.
  36. JeffJanuary 20, 2011 at 9:30 am
    Did you read the Robert Reich piece? Any thoughts on it?
  37. rosierayJanuary 20, 2011 at 8:07 pm
    I thought it was an excellent article, and definitely something we show think about
  38. rosierayJanuary 20, 2011 at 8:08 pm
    that should be “something we should think about”
  39. Whiskey Tango FoxtrotJanuary 20, 2011 at 9:33 am
    This “NFL in LA” is beginning to sound like a broken record. Ughhhhh. If they build this thing at near Staples, there will be no room for pre-game tail gating which is a big part of the game experience. I say let’s just give Al Davis a pick and shovel and have him get to work somewhere in Palmdale.
  40. MikeJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:35 am
    On balance, tailgating is a minus, as far as I’m concerned. It being there or not doesn’t make a team much more or less viable.
  41. SFC PerezJanuary 20, 2011 at 4:09 pm
    I agree on tailgating not being the sole deciding factor for an NFL team but being from Chicago, and having a stadium where they cant build out much more, isnt downtown LA landlocked? And where would they build it unless they are to tear down a few city blocks of buildings?
  42. Whiskey Tango FoxtrotJanuary 20, 2011 at 9:00 pm
    Don’t get me wrong – personally I enjoy tailgating before a game but in no way am I under the assumption that the NFL will be remotely concerned about this issue when deciding the next franchise city. I’m just having a “world according to me” moment.
  43. King of the 661January 20, 2011 at 11:03 am
    I love when people make assumptions based on nothing.
  44. Alan FerdmanJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:12 am
    Welcome back Frank Ferry. It is great to hear that your recovery is coming along so well. Looking forward to seeing you at a City Council Meeting, hopefully, very soon.
  45. 4eyedsueJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:16 am
    “College of the Canyons may have to turn away 2,126 students amid budget losses of $3.7 million thanks to Governor Jerry Brown’s budget plan” First off- the “thanks to Governor Jerry Brown’s budget plan” really annoys me. Yes, we can thank Jerry for signing legislation allowing state workers to unionize decades ago, but Davis came along and sweetened their deals, legislators kicked the can down the road with budget deficits, Arnold came along and…did nothing, Democrats kept spending, Republicans signed silly “no new taxes” pledges, and most voters didn’t pay attention until their goodies got messed with. There is lots of “thanks” to go around, imo. The pain in this budget is spread around. $1.7 billion cut from Medicaid, $1.5 billion from CalWorks, $135.7 million for Healthy Families (provides subsidized medical services to low income children), $800 million from mental health programs, $750 million from programs that provide care for the developmentally disabled…. I have two teenage kids. COC is (or was?) the plan- so I’m not thrilled with this, but what else can be done? Stop caring completely for the most vulnerable in our state? As it is, programs for people with developmental disabilities are barely hanging on. Disgusting to think of any student wanting to attend COC “being turned away” because of the state budget. Does any one have a solution?
  46. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:20 am
    Check out Mission College. Very close, down the 210, easier to get classes…nice campus, too ~
  47. CCJanuary 20, 2011 at 11:26 am
    Totally agree 4eye. But when will they deal with the very real problem of public pensions, & illegal aliens?
  48. Timothy Myers SRJanuary 20, 2011 at 11:27 am
    Sue: If your kids are serious about pursuing an associate degree for eventual transfer they should have no problem since those folks are given a priority at COC. While COC does better than mean, remember that in the Community College system in California 70% of the students after two years have made no meaningful progress to an associate degree or transfer. Theoretically one could shrink the whole system by about 50% and not have a meaningful impact on people that are seriously pursuing and Associate or Bachelor’s degree.
  49. NateJanuary 20, 2011 at 12:41 pm
    I believe COC use to get $7000 a head from the state for every full time student a semester. The cuts have to come from somewhere and the cuts will get deeper if California votes against making up the other half of the deficit with taxes. Everyone talks big till the services they love and under appreciate go away. Frankly I would love to see Medicare and Social Security get yanked so I can watch all those sign holding socialist tea party seniors throw a bitch fit.
  50. Berta González-HarperJanuary 20, 2011 at 1:46 pm
    @Nate and as one of the baby boom generation and amongst those soon to be Social Security eligible persons who worked and paid into the system her entire life, I would like to see government benefits denied to all persons in the United States without legal authority to be here. They for the most part never paid into the system(s) from which they collect. Additionally, I would like birthright citizenship to require that at least one parent of a child born on US soil is in the country legally to end the practice of rewarding females from all over the world, who have reproductive capabilities, from abusing the generosity of the American people. Accomplishing both, will free up plenty of money.
  51. NateJanuary 20, 2011 at 2:59 pm
    I was talking about the evils of Socialism! Socialized medical is killing our elderly! They are slaves! We should free them of this evil so they have the liberty to pay for everything themselves like good Americans. Think about how much their self esteem will improve.
  52. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 4:38 pm
    Nice, Nate. Let them pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, I say. Who needs socialized anything? I am a rock. I am an island. Get your own. :p
  53. NateJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:19 pm
    Good. And no more community colleges socialism either parents should pay the $7000+ a head to put a kid through college. Next go after those farmer socialization that gives us the .99 cent drive through hamburger!
  54. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:48 pm
    While we are talking education, why not get rid of K-12? And unemployment payments? Food stamps, WIC, these are things we don’t need — let the hungry muster up their own grub! And disaster relief…sheesh! Who even accepted help from the government after the Northridge quake? Bootstraps, people, it is all about the bootstraps.
  55. Bill ReynoldsJanuary 20, 2011 at 6:29 pm
    Well Nate, you have finally written something I almost agree with. Tea Party folks are not socialists, otherwise I would have agreed with your entire paragraph. I’ve said it here before, social security stinks… through your whole working life you pay into SS after your income is taxed and then you are taxed on your social security income (thanks Bubba Clinton).
  56. NateJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:22 pm
    If I was running the tea party we wouldn’t let anyone in who hasn’t denied their social security and Medicare benefits like a true patriot! Where is my snake flag! We need to take back the Republican party back from these liberal tea party phonies!
  57. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:49 pm
    You are funny, Nate. Giving me a good laugh this evening.
  58. JaneJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:46 am
    Satellite – I love it, today the military announces a satellite launch, tomorrow they will deny there is a satellite!
  59. CCJanuary 20, 2011 at 1:23 pm
    Watched the launch. It was pretty cool. I have seen many over the years, but I usually don’t have advanced headsup. Thanks Jeff
  60. JeffJanuary 20, 2011 at 1:18 pm
    I publicly apologize for saying that rocket launch would be a good show. What a bust!
  61. CCJanuary 20, 2011 at 1:24 pm
    Just imagine the work and the dreams that it represents and you will get the spine chills you seek.
  62. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 2:00 pm
    The kids and I were standing outside waiting and watching — was it just a short, white contrail? I saw some folks at the corner gas station get out of their cars and look, too.
  63. Jim FarleyJanuary 20, 2011 at 2:18 pm
    No apologies needed Jeff. It was pretty much what I expected from my perch in Van Nuys today. I found a sight that showed a live video of the launch, then went outside. While it was a “short white contrail” as Lori described, the fact you can see it from as far away as Vandenburg (2 hour+ drive) is pretty cool. It was after all the largest rocket ever launched from the West Coast. Thanks for the heads-up this morning.
  64. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 10:50 pm
    I full on thought it was cool. The kids and I had some good discussions about it afterwards, too, especially tying in Petz’ green fuel info.
  65. ToddJanuary 20, 2011 at 1:20 pm
    Just caught the tail end of the visible launch from here in Beautiful Downtown Burbank… semi anti-climactic, but a fun distraction from work nonetheless.
  66. PetzJanuary 20, 2011 at 2:39 pm
    From what Petz heard, the short contrail was due to the use of liquid hydrogen as fuel. The exhaust did not vaporize in the statosphere. NASA has gone green. People who drove to the launch area reported it was quite a treat.
  67. Lori RivasJanuary 20, 2011 at 4:39 pm
    Why didn’t Jeff tell us about the launch yesterday? Drat. I totally would have driven my kids up to see the launch. You’re fired, Jeff.
  68. Phil EllisJanuary 20, 2011 at 7:08 pm
    Lori, Jeff can stay. I have seen contrails from previous Vandenberg launches, so I stood outside at the appointed time and several minutes later until my phone web search showed that the launch was well over. I saw nothing. The fresh air was invigorating though.
  69. PetzJanuary 22, 2011 at 5:18 am
    When they launch a military payload from Vandenberg AFB, the Air Force seldom provides much in the way of information about the thing riding the rocket. But yesterday’s inaugural west coast launch of a Delta IV Heavy from SLC-6 at Vandenberg was a big deal for US intelligence. The Delta IV Heavy is the only launcher capable of putting the largest spy satellites into orbit, and whether this was an optical imaging spacecraft of the KH series (think something that looks like Hubble, but looking down rather than up) or a radar-imaging or electronic eavesdropper, it was a class of payload that the US has not been able to launch from Vandenberg for almost a decade, since the retirement of the Titan 4. What’s the big deal about Vandenberg? Well, for those who never thought about it, the greatest coverage of the Earth by a recon satellite is obtained when the bird is in a POLAR orbit. With the orbit more or less fixed in inertial space, the planet rotates beneath, presenting all the world for viewing. You cannot do polar orbit launches from Cape Canaveral because of overflights of large populated areas. But Vandenberg, hung out on the westward extension of the California coast just north of Pt. Concepcion, is nicely placed to safely launch south over the Pacific into these high-inclination orbits. So it is safe to assume that an aging, or perhaps completely missing piece of America’s intelligence gathering assets is now being replaced by a new spacecraft which is now undergoing activation and checkout in orbit. I drove up the coast yesterday with my boss Tony Cook from Griffith, and we met up with LG member Linton Rohr at our improvised observing site. We’d decided not to go to the recommended spot at Surf Beach near Lompoc, because that would place us north of the pad looking right into the sun as the vehicle left the ground for the southbound launch. My original idea of using Jalama Beach Park was stymied by the closure of the park for the launch (It would have been primo, just 8 miles from the pad and about 6 miles off the ground track as the Delta climbed away, but was probably also in the debris impact area in the event of a catastrophic booster failure…) So, we went past Gaviota beach on 101, and caught US Rte 1 where it cuts off to the west towards Lompoc, running through the hills north of the base. We went about 9 miles in, and found a turnout that placed us looking towards the pad from the ENE, about 14 miles as the crow flies from the pad. That sounds like a great deal, but it beat Gaviota at 22 miles and gave a much better viewing angle. It helped that this placed us in a gorgeous pastureland setting, the hills blazing green with grass from the recent rains. At the appointed time, the Delta 4 cleared the ridge right in front of us, yellow flames and the three-barrel configuration clearly visible to the naked eye, and I watched in binoculars as it climbed out, trailing a short-duration contrail from perhaps 20,000 to 40,000 feet that largely disappeared thereafter. As it climbed out to our southwest and the aspect angle changed, we found ourselves looking up the exhaust nozzles, visible as three distinct yellow dots, and after about 3 minutes we lost the rocket in the sun. Just after though, we caught a pair of white plumes created by the tumbling, venting strap-on boosters as they fell away, below the sun from our vantage. Throughout, we were treated to what I really came for – the deep, low frequency rumble of almost 2 million pounds of rocket thrust driving a 23 story tall vehicle into the sky. I am, and will always remain, a rocket geek! Linton got some nice images that I hope he will post. Jim
