  Cherry picking, anyone ?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Cherry should be retained or fired -- or whether he should be put on a seven-second time delay -- is a matter for the CBC to decide, not the language commissioner, MPs or the diversity industry.
Cherry -- or to apply its announced time-delay in a manner that censors him -- let it live with the consequences of alienating the millions of viewers who enjoy his point of view and have the good sense to take his rants with a grain of salt.
Cherry left the CBC, another network would pick him up in a second, and it would be Hockey Night in Canada that suffers the most for this manufactured affair.

 Precautions Against "Cherry Picking" for Developers and Other Lessors of Multiple Nursing Home Facilities
A debtor managing a group of nursing homes in facilities leased from a single property owner will be inclined to reject the leases of facilities that are losing money in order to close those facilities and to assume the leases of those facilities that are profitable or have the potential to be profitable.
If a debtor is allowed to "cherry pick" profitable facilities to maintain under lease, while rejecting unprofitable facilities, the property owner will be left with properties that are more difficult to market and that, before new tenants are found, will generate no income.
However, when negotiating the lease of a group of facilities, if the property owner is mindful of the above principles and negotiates the documentation to address the issues highlighted by the courts in determining the integrated nature of leases, the risk of a debtor "cherry picking" in bankruptcy may be lessened.

 (DV) Jeter: Cherry Picking the Bible
The practice of choosing only those facts, often out of context, that supports a personal view while blatantly disregarding information contradictory to your position constitutes “cherry picking.” Many Republicans practice this to the extreme when it comes to moral values.
In the recent presidential election President Bush received numerous votes cast on the basis of “moral value”, and many of these votes came from the Religious Right.
So, let us visit the “cherry tree” and take a Biblical look at these issues, and several others, including the war in Iraq.

 POA Pushes Texas Anti-Cherry Picking Bill
Policyholders of America (POA), a consumer interest group, announced it has secured enough support from Texas legislators to initiate the drafting of nine insurance-related bills to be considered in the 2003 legislative session.
One proposed bill, an anti-cherry picking measure, would allow an insurance company to abandon the less profitable homeowners market if and only if the insurer withdraws from the state in its entirety, meaning a withdrawal from more lucrative auto, commercial, life, liability, health and other lines.
The POA noted that this proposed legislation, if passed, would put a stop to the ongoing threats of market withdrawal now being lobbed at regulators by insurance carriers.
