So Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus claim he wasn't going to allow George Stephanopoulos to moderate ABC News' Republican debate -- even before it came to light that the newscaster had made donations to the Clinton Foundation. But ABC News pushed back Friday, saying the network decides who moderates. Either way, the dispute is likely one of many such spats to expect this election season, as political parties advocate for the most desired conditions for their candidates before getting under the klieg lights. — Michael Calderone (@mlcalderone) PULLQUOTE “I am prepared to tell this young person the truth about life. I'm not sure that they will come like that. I think many of them say, 'Well, you're a hypocrite. You say one thing, you say the other.' My point is, okay listen to me carefully. I'm telling you where the road is out. I'm telling you where you're driving you're going to go into water and it looks like it might only be three inches deep, but you and your car are going to go down. You want to go here or you want to be concerned about who's giving the message?” — Bill Cosby responding to rape allegations on "Good Morning America" TOP STORIES ABC News Disputes RNC Chair's Implication The Party Can Pick Its Own Debate Moderators ABC News pushed back Friday against Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus' claim that ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos "was never going to moderate a Republican debate anyway," a suggestion that the party could prevent a television network from assigning the journalist of its choice. "ABC News decides who moderates ABC News debates," a network spokeswoman said. "The GOP primary debate is nine months away. Before George recused himself, we hadn't made any decisions about our debate coverage team." Read more. Gavin McInnes, Fox News Guest, Says Women Are 'Less Ambitious' And 'Happier At Home' A Fox News guest declared that the gender pay gap exists because women are "less ambitious" than men and that most would be happier staying at home with children.

13 things in life that are not a competition.

HUFFPOST HILL - People Who Punch Me In The Face Are People, My Friend
Posted: 15 May 2015 02:02 PM PDT
DEATH SENTENCE FOR TSARNAEV - Katharine Seelye: "Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a failed college student, sat stone-faced in a federal court here on Friday as a jury sentenced him , to death for setting off bombs at the 2013 Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured hundreds more in the worst terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001. The jury of seven women and five men, which last month convicted Mr. Tsarnaev, 21, of all 30 charges against him, 17 of which carry the death penalty, took more than 14 hours to reach its decision…. The Tsarnaev verdict goes against the grain in Massachusetts, which has no death penalty for state crimes and where polls showed that residents overwhelmingly favored life in prison for Mr. Tsarnaev…. But the jurors in his case had to be 'death qualified' -- that is, they all had to be willing to impose the death penalty to serve on the jury. So in that sense, the jury was not representative of the state." [NYT]
Where we're at on the list of countries with capital punishment.
LORETTA LYNCH: "We know all too well that no verdict can heal the souls of those who lost loved ones, nor the minds and bodies of those who suffered life-changing injuries from this cowardly attack. But the ultimate penalty is a fitting punishment for this horrific crime and we hope that the completion of this prosecution will bring some measure of closure to the victims and their families."
NOBODY HAPPY WITH JEB THIS WEEK - McKay Coppins: "Jeb Bush has drawn derision from all quarters of the political world this week for his bumbling response to questions about the 2003 invasion of Iraq -- but some of the sharpest criticism is now coming from his own brother’s orbit. In interviews with more than half a dozen Republican foreign policy hands and veterans of the George W. Bush administration, the reaction to Jeb’s dithering on Iraq ranged from disappointment to disbelief. 'No, it was not handled well by Gov. Bush… I don’t know why he said what he did,' said Ari Fleischer, who served as White House press secretary for Bush 43 at the beginning of the war." [BuzzFeed]
HOUSE PASSES FRANKENSTEIN NDAA - Hey, at least it didn't defund ACORN. Jen Bendery: "The House passed legislation Friday that clears the path for spending tens of billions of dollars on overseas wars, including the one against Islamic State militants that Congress still hasn't authorized. Lawmakers voted 269-151 to pass the fiscal 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, which would, among other things, permit Congress to spend $89.2 billion on war funding. Republicans allowed 135 amendments to the bill, which covered topics ranging from immigration to remotely piloted aircraft to fire hoses being exempt from certain purchasing requirements. But they shut out any debate on the need for an Authorization for Use of Military Force to put limits on the months-long war against the Islamic State. At the same time, the defense bill authorizes spending billions more fighting the group also known as ISIS. A handful of lawmakers tried to attach AUMF amendments to the legislation, but were denied." [HuffPost]
WARREN, SANDERS PRESSURE OBAMA ON MIN WAGE - Dave Jamieson: "The Fight for $15 labor movement has found some high-profile allies in the U.S. Senate, and now they're asking President Barack Obama to get onboard. In a letter to the White House led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Friday, 18 senators, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), asked Obama to issue a 'model employer' executive order, which would give contracting preference to firms that pay a living wage, offer health care and sick leave, and guarantee union rights for workers. 'Mr. President, the stroke of your pen can have transformative impact for millions of workers,' the letter states. 'As low-wage fast food, retail and federal contract workers continue to strike in growing numbers to 'Fight for $15 and a Union,' we urge you to harness the power of the presidency to help these workers achieve the American Dream.'"

RICHARD PERLE THINKS HYPOTHETICAL IRAQ QUESTIONS ARE DUMB - Because obviously the outcome of the war has been terrible. Sam Stein: "The former Defense Department adviser, who was one of the key figures crafting the policy for invasion in 2003, isn't interested in what what politicians today would do if they could go back in time and vote on the authorization. Far more important, he says, is what they would have done in that specific moment, with that specific intelligence, in that political climate. 'I would not attach a lot of weight to anybody’s answer to this question, particularly to a candidate's answer,' Perle told The Huffington Post in an interview. 'You give the answer that you think is going to offend the fewest number of people whose votes you want and please the largest number of people whose votes you want, and you’ve got to do it in a sentence or two. I think the conventional wisdom is that Iraq was a mistake. So the easiest answer is going to be: I wouldn’t have done it.'" [HuffPost]
BOEHNER DELIVERS TURD ENGULFED IN FLAMES TO MITCH MCCONNELL'S DOORSTEP - The majority leader has pointed to his charred, feces-smeared loafers as evidence that the Senate is working again. Julian Hattem: "Mitch McConnell is in a bind. The Senate majority leader opposes changes to the National Security Agency, but his proposal to reauthorize surveillance powers under the Patriot Act 'cleanly' is unlikely to pass the upper chamber. After the House increased the pressure Wednesday with an overwhelming vote in favor of an NSA reform bill, McConnell (R-Ky.) began to look for an escape hatch, filing legislation Thursday evening that would push the June 1 deadline back by two months. But it's unclear whether a short-term extension could pass the Senate, let alone the House, where reform supporters are vowing to oppose any stopgap legislation. With the deadline looming, McConnell has little time left to find a way out and save the spy powers he has called critical for national security. 'He’s really in a box,' Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said Wednesday before the House vote. 'With all due respect, he’s in a box that the courts have made for him, so to speak, by correctly interpreting the law.' McConnell insists he has no intention of following the lead of the House, which voted 338-88 to end the NSA’s bulk collection of records on Americans’ telephone calls." [The Hill]
MOLOTOV! - Rosie Gray: "There was no [politically adventurous] moment on [Scott Walker's] trip to Israel. He played it safe â very safe. The trip was everything you’d expect and little more: Walker visited with Netanyahu and opposition leader Isaac Herzog; he visited with other members of the Knesset; he visited Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial, and the Western Wall; he flew around the country in a helicopter. It’s arguably the safest plan a politician’s aides could dream up â mostly politically correct, uncontroversial, boring enough to keep press from even wanting to cover it, and all designed to keep him out of trouble. Other trips to Israel by lower-tier candidates this cycle have been more adventurous: Ben Carson visited settlements in the West Bank during his Israel trip in December, according to Dayan, and Mike Huckabee visits often. Visiting settlements in the West Bankâ or Judea and Samaria, the biblical terms used by Dayan and other settlers for the area â is a Rubicon not yet crossed by the major presidential candidates this cycle, though." [BuzzFeed]
E PRIEBUS UNUM - The campaign to get James O'Keefe to host every GOP debate starts here (after opening statements the candidates will be asked to respond to Charles C. Johnson tweets). Michael Calderone: "Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Thursday night that ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos "was never going to moderate a Republican debate anyway," suggesting the party has the power to prevent a network from assigning the journalist of its choice...In Thursday's interview on Fox News' 'Hannity,' Priebus said his concerns about Stephanopoulos moderating stemmed not from the donations, but rather the anchor's previous role as Bill Clinton's communications director during the 1992 election and his first term in the White House. 'How can I, as chairman of the national party, have the former employee of the Clintons, who's running on the other side, be the person on the stage deposing our candidate?' Preibus said." [HuffPost]
PERRY WILL ANNOUNCE WHITE HOUSE PLANS ON JUNE 4 - "His health is much better this time" is about as toxic a phrase electorally as "ethanol blows." Jonathan Topaz and Katie Glueck: "Rick Perry will announce whether or not he is running for president on June 4, according to a spokesman...his team believes he would be far better-prepared this time around. They also note that he’s in much better health than during his last run, when severe back pain interfered with his performance. He has spent the last year-and-a-half studying up on policy issues, and advocating for a hawkish foreign policy had become a central piece of his stump speech." [Politico]
MITT ROMNEY PREPARES FOR SPORT - On his forthcoming charity boxing match with Evander Holyfield, as told to Mark Leibovich: 'I will get in Evander’s face with compliments and good humor. I want to keep him very happy and very friendly...And between rounds, there will be young women holding up round numbers walking in the ring… We will come in tuxedos. Then I will change. My son has procured a red silk robe complete with hood. And I’ll have red silk shorts...I did not ask Harry [Reid] for advice, but if I’m successful in the bout with Evander, then my next bout is going to be with Harry." [NYT]
HuffPost asked Reid's office if such a showdown could come to pass. "To quote Frozen, let it go," said Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson.

There is also universal agreement that the IoT will force organizations to rethink the fundamental nature of their products and services. One company that has become a leader in the rapidly evolving IoT market is PTC. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/82059.html Apple Likely to Pony Up to Settle A123 Poaching Suit Apple reportedly has agreed to settle the lawsuit brought by battery manufacturer A123 Systems, accusing it of poaching engineers who were under non-compete agreements. A123 develops technologies for electric car batteries. News of the rumored settlement has fueled speculation that Apple poached talent from the firm to forward its ambitions to enter the electric vehicle market. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/82056.html AT&T Spreads Rollover Data Cheer to GoPhone AT&T Mobility introduced Rollover Data early this year. The offering is very similar to its successful Rollover Minutes for voice calls, which began a few years ago. The question is, will it be just as successful for data? It looks like the answer is yes, as it is now expanding the perk to GoPhone. GoPhone is an AT&T Mobility prepaid brand, and prepaid is a rapidly growing wireless segment. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/82053.html Facebook's Instant Articles Raise Troubling Questions Facebook on Tuesday introduced Instant Articles, a feature that lets publishers place their stories directly on its site. Nine major media outlets have signed on so far. The content is optimized for mobile devices, and Instant Articles currently is available only on iOS. Publishers get 100 percent of the revenue from ads they place with their content. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/82050.html Sage and Salesforce Tie Partnership Knot Sage and Salesforce put on a lovefest on Tuesday to announce their partnership, in which Sage has developed Sage Life, a product to enable small companies to connect their customer, accounting, payroll and finance data into one system, accessible from any device, anywhere. It's unclear whether the customer data is held in Salesforce's traditional CRM or if it refers more broadly to ERP data. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/82051.html News Alerts From ECT News Network Get the day's top business and technology news delivered to your inbox as stories break.

The Chinese gang known as "APT17" devised the scheme, which uses forum pages and profiles on Microsoft's TechNet, to cover traffic from machines infected with the group's Black Coffee malware. http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82060.html Consumer Group Worries Over Safety of Google's Self-Driving Cars Even though Google's self-driving technology was not at fault in any of 11 minor accidents involving the cars over six years of testing, Consumer Watchdog has raised an alarm over the vehicles' safety, even releasing a video that simulates a serious crash in a tech-failure scenario. The group frequently accuses Google of privacy violations and exerting undue influence on the U.S. government. http://www.technewsworld.com/story/82054.html Venom Vulnerability Could Violate Virtual Machines Crowdstrike on Wednesday made public its discovery of yet another long- buried Linux vulnerability. "Venom," as it has been dubbed, was unearthed by the firm's senior security researcher, Jason Geffner. It is listed as vulnerability CVE-2015-3456.

After 14-and-a-half hours of deliberations, a jury has decided that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was found guilty of all 30 counts related to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, will receive the death penalty. Tsarnaev was convicted on April 8 of plotting and executing the bombings with his brother, Tamerlan. The conviction marks the first time in the post-September 11 era in which a terrorist has been sentenced to death by a federal jury. "Your service in this case has been the very antithesis of mob law," judge George A. O'Toole Jr. told the jurors before letting them go. "On behalf of a community seriously aggrieved, you have demonstrated...men and women...can make careful, rational, and solemn judgments." In this phase of his trial, the jury had to decide whether to award him life in prison or the death penalty on multiple counts. Some family members of the bombing's victims and several of the survivors had advocated for life in prison, because such a verdict would have spared them the lengthy appeals process that comes with a death penalty verdict. A willingness to impose the death penalty if the prosecution met a certain burden of proof was a requirement for jurors, however, and the jury sentenced him to death on six counts.
Bill Cosby addressed the multiple sexual-assault allegations against him in an interview on Good Morning America on Friday. "I have been in this business over 52 years and I have never seen anything like this," he said. "Reality is the situation. And I can't speak." Cosby was invited on the show to discuss school funding by the Black Belt Foundation. The comedian has remained silent as more and more women have alleged that he assaulted them, but his legal team has repeatedly denied the allegations.
Fox may be out of the picture, but The Mindy Project will go on. Hulu has ordered 26 new episodes for the series, which stars creator Mindy Kaling as an OB-GYN. Fan favorite Community got a similar new lease on life last year, but no other canceled shows have been picked up this season.
The Miami Beach Police Department is investigating whether its officers unjustly influenced 540 cases after several were caught sending each other racist emails and sexist and pornographic images. Sixteen police officers were involved in the emails, which involved jokes like a "Black Monopoly," in which all squares read "go to jail," and images of abused women with captions reading "Domestic violence. Because sometimes, you have to tell her more than once." Two of the accused were high-ranking: one of them has since retired and the other was fired. "These activities are a breach of trust. They are disgusting," said Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. "Our goal is to make sure our office reviews with a fine-toothed comb all of these cases." Investigators will also examine whether emailing an autopsy photo violated state law, and will make sure none of the pornographic images sent included minors.
A Florida woman has been arrested after spending more than two months in hiding with her 4-year-old son—in an attempt to stop his father from getting the child circumcised. Heather Hironimus says she never married the boy's father, Dennis Nebus, but agreed to the procedure in a parenting agreement filed in court. She later changed her mind, but judges sided with the father, so Hironimus took the law into her own hands. She also filed a federal civil-rights complaint on her son's behalf.
A tip to Virginia State Police led to a pretty massive drug bust at a Roanoke County shopping center. Authorities raided a section of Lamplighter Mall and confiscated some 200 pounds of marijuana, valued at more than $1 million. Three people were arrested on trafficking charges. The package, sent from Arizona, was bound for a recording studio.
Blues legend B.B. King, the singer, songwriter and guitarist who helped to define the genre, died Thursday in Las Vegas, his attorney said. He was 89. King revealed this month that he had entered hospice after suffering poor health for some time. The iconic musician has sold millions of records worldwide and was inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame. He also was honored with a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy.
Authorities in Florida have identified the school bus shooter who left two female students hospitalized as 16-year-old Edgar Robles, who is still at large. He is considered armed and dangerous. Jacksonville Police believe the incident, which left one victim with a bullet in the head, is connected to a recent fatal crash and that Robles was attempting to shoot specific boys on the bus. His mother is currently cooperating with authorities.
ISIS renewed its all-out assault on Iraqi forces in Ramadi late Thursday, in an attempt to gain ground after losing the central Iraqi city of Tikrit. Militants are reported to have seized the main government building early Friday in the capital of Iraq's Anbar province. The militants used multiple cars with suicide bombers in an assault on a compound housing the main police station and governor's office. Reportedly, more than 50 Iraqi security forces have been taken captive.
