READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
On Monday evening "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomed conservative columnist and author Jonah Goldberg to the program for a fiery discussion on politics, and foreign policy.
On the heels of Barack Obama's recently released campaign advertisement, Piers Morgan reviewed using the strike on Osama bin Laden for political gain:
"Are you telling me with a straight face again that Mitt Romney wouldn't have capitalized on that if he had taken out Osama bin Laden?" asked the host.
"First of all, your characterization of what Mitt Romney said, I think, is off," declared the guest. "Mitt Romney was talking about fighting the war on terror in the context of fighting one, coming after one man...He wasn't spending all of this money. That's not what Barack Obama did when he got Osama bin Laden. It was a pretty cheap operation."
At Morgan's urging, Goldberg estimated the cost of the mission to be in the neighborhood of $50 million.
"Wow! That's cheap in the Republican world?" responded the "Piers Morgan Tonight" host. "No wonder the country got into the mess it did."
Upon the insinuation that his flippant figure was precisely the type of cliched ideology he references in his newest book, Goldberg defended his response:
"You pried it out of me. You begged me for answer."
"That's good journalism, isn't it?," replied Morgan. "Isn't that the point of an interview?"
Goldberg characterized the sit down differently: "You're cross-examining me. You're not interviewing."
Watch the clip, and listen to the interview/cross-examination, as the host and author trade contentious commentary on the backdrop of the current campaign, and upcoming election.

By far the best interview by any journalist or TV person. Those politicians or supporters of politicians who come on TV for propaganda and personal destruction of those they disagree with must be confronted by the truth, the reality, and push to explain their lies.
Well done job Piers.
I totally agree. I just loved watching Goldberg squirm. Piers is THE ONLY journalist who has been willing to really give it to GOP types who just can't stand that Bin Laden was killed on Obama's watch. Had it happened while a Republican was a in power, of course Romney would be using it as a 'bragging point' in this election. I am really sick of all the feigned moral outrage the Republicans have spewed about Obama questioning whether Romney would have gone after Bin Laden. He based that comment on Romney's own words and lets face it, there were no limits to what Romney was willing to say about his fellow GOP running mates during the campaign. He is a hypocrite (as are his supporters) for trying to make it seem like they are above using the same tactics Obama is using.
Piers Morgan said Obama authorized the mission "to capture, and if necessary, to kill Osama bin Laden." False. It waw an assassination mission. No attempt was made to capture bin Laden. Obama himself said he launched a mission "to kill Osama bin Laden." Why is Piers Morgan trying to be Obama's PR man?
the GOP goobers are fake americans – no doubt – why? because they do not care about american people, only about GOP power. they manipulate the media they say they hate; they vote against the people over and over; they are clearly against women's democratic rights and equality; they are hawks and want to send other's children to war; they stoop to feigned americanism by appealing to the far right evangelicals and racists. If I had time, I'd cite every claim. I have never seen such anti-americanism as this current GOP. Shame shame shame.
Clark - I don't remember OBL trying to "capture" the Americans in the WTC, had Bush authorized the hit you'd be cheering him as tough on terrorism. Obama got him... deal with it.
He "squirmed" because morgan continually asks less than intelligent questions and is completely clueless about how to have an adult debate. Did piers go after the obama folks about the various failures like solyndra?? The answer is NO.
Jonah Goldberg is a whale who simply wants to espouse the Romney line and bristles when he's challenged. When they use the term "talking heads," they had Goldberg in mind. Please don't waste our time with these inane mouthpieces. I hate to turn your program off.
Wow. You think Piers is a journalist. Try tabloid host.
Actually by far the worst interview I've ever seen. Whatever happened to the concept of interviewers being impartial? Pier's did exactly what Jonah said. Indeed the entire interview reminded me of an old Monty Pyton about the guy who wanted to buy an argument. Even when Jonah answered the question Piers asked, Piers said "no you didn't".
Nonsense, Piers is a fair-minded man who can't stand listening to the crap that comes out of people's mouth. Too often people use a TV show as a forum for spouting their biased views (e.g. George Zimmerman's brother, Robert) and the journalist just lets them rant. I applaud Piers for taking Goldberg to task. Republicans just have to get over the fact that Bin Laden was killed on Obama's watch. President Bush had 8 years to accomplish this and failed. One more reason why Obama should be re-elected.
Jonah, and most Republicans, repeatedly give Obama credit for getting Bin Laden. It appears Piers wasn't listening as a number of other posters have also pointed out.
The "interview" with Mr. Goldberg looked more like a verbal water-boarding. Mr.Morgan is another attack dog, no different from those on Fox News. The extremes of American political culture are sadly reflected in this low-brow, 'Hooray Harry' Brit carpet bagger who was very fortunate to be one step ahead of the Britiish Government enquiry into the corrupt phone hacking scandal of which Mr. Morgan was a part. I enjoy the fact that his ratings has dropped 14% this month and, hopefully, this will continue.
Morgan is destined to follow Keith O into media oblivion. Embarassing, for PM, interview. he would not let JG respond. Kept interrupting. Asshat. CNN is swirling in the bowl
Beth, what precisely came out of Jonah's mouth that was crap? For that matter, what came out of his mouth that was even a complete thought? Piers' method seems to be Ask question – Allow 75% of an answer – Interrupt with another (possibly related) question – Continue till time is up. Certainly there were little things Jonah was able to answer, but his big points were interrupted every time, before they were able to have an impact on the audience. And forget a decent look at what the book was even about, which was why Jonah was there. Certainly you can agree that anyone can throw out rapid-fire questions, without having to know what they are talking about. This is all Piers did. Combined with his claim that he's unbiased, he ended up proving Jonah's point (liberals rarely admit their bias) without even knowing he was doing it. Clearly he made himself out to be biased, and this seems to me a win for Jonah's point...though I still don't know what his book is about, thank you Piers.
You cannot truly believe that interview was impartial or executed as a interview rather than a cross-examination with the goal of "catching" the interviewee.
If...and this seems implausible...you believe that, your intellect is limited. That is the scarier part of some who want Obama again. No good reason why...just low attention spans and headstrong...."he is cool" views.
I agree , and I might add that I have not often supported Mr. Goldberg in any of his views .
It clearly showed Piers Morgans shortcomings as a professional journalist , but rather the gutter gossip writer for british tabloids ,that he used to be.
Bebe,..My sentiments exactly and Amen to that!
First time I have ever seen or heard of Jonah G.; came here to see who he was because of a comment translated from Russian on a funny Sam Seder bit from June 26th (check it out). The humor here is that P. Morgan was trying to bait Jonah G into the same behavior that Jonah G is apparently lambasting the "EViL LiberAls" for. I would say that it appears that he is just trying to irritate Jonah G, but he went in with that plan and was trying to think fast enough to locate the line he could use to illustrate that point. (That his book's premise can be challenged.) I could have done better, now that I have hours to think about it, but Morgan was on the line and had milliseconds to think through his choices, and so no, I could not have done better. But we have the chance to listen thru this and think it over. Conservatives often write books about this topic, and it goes to their point that EvIl LiBerAls don't have any ideas on public policy worthy of a thoughtful discussion, and possible better consequences, so we'll just pull around about on side issues and avoid thinking lest the thinking public come to realize that the corporate monied interests and theirs are not the same.
Great interview Piersy. Especially liked, "Wow! That is cheap in the Republican World?" "No wonder the country got into the mess it did!"
Ummm...let's see. Our annual national deficit (how much more government spends than it brings in as revenue) has been more than a trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) each year since Obama took office. Goldberg's wild guess for the cost of the op to kill bin Laden was 50 million ($50,000,000). So, the ratio of the two numbers? 0.005% I.e., the op to kill bin Laden cost 1 20,000th of the amount of money our country goes into debt each year. So yeah, that's cheap in my books.
Piers makes Larry KIng seem infinitely more appealing. I miss Larry's professionalism and the way he enthused interviewees and got them to reveal their true selves on television. Piers is a partisan hack. What is he trying to prove.
Paul, Nonsense, Piers is the only TV journalist who has the parts to take some of these GOP types to task. Too often TV shows are used as a forum to spout biased, unsubstantiated views (e.g. George Zimmerman's brother Robert). Goldberg was trying to do the same and Piers wouldn't allow it. I think he gets sick of all the BS too. The GOP just can't stand the fact that Bin Laden was killed on Obama's watch. Bush had 8 years to accomplish this and failed. Had he succeeded, you can bet that Romney would be throwing this in Obama's face at every opportunity. Obama's foreign policy experience was deemed lacking by the GOP in 2008. Well how do they like him now?!!
Unfortunately the GOP doesn't have a monopoly on TV show hosts who use their position to spout their own beliefs. FOX indeed has a conservative bias. On the other hand, MSNBC has a liberal bias. Therefore I watch CNN which I think overall tries to be balanced. Unfortunately they don't always succeed. Also, don't know how you can say Goldman was trying to do the the same as George Zimmerman's brother. Pier's never gave Jonah the chance to talk about his book. Also Zimmerman's brother was talking about a criminal case and Jonah was talking politics.
Considering 2 women a week are killed by pantrers or ex pantrers in this country it was quite shocking to discover that in one year, 1 donkey sanctuary receives more donations than ALL the domestic abuse charities in this country. It's not a soft and cuddly issue so we sweep it under the carpet. Thank you for posting and raising the issue of just how desperately funding is needed.
Are you kidding me? Virtually *every* establishment television and print outlet takes Republicans to task, most of the time irrationally and with blatant political bias.
Comparing him to Larry is like day and night. Larry is by far the most respected interviewer, because his show is all about the interviewee, not about Larry. He never showed any bias and nobody can read his mind. Most state leaders and hard-to-get high profile leaders did not hesitate to appear on his show. Piers Morgan is all about bias and always injecting his own prejudiced opinion. Just because he was invited to WHCD makes him drool over Obama.
Couldn't agree more Linda. Piers was okay in the beginning of his "career" on CNN, but has since become a female Nancy Grace. Will not allow the guest to answer without constant interruptions to put forth his opinion.
It not called "Larry king Live" for a reason.... Hint: Piers Morgan's Show.
I am not so sure ALL doctors and profs are spitud. By the way, I am not a real doctor, I just play one on the internets. A dick head I am indeed. A dick head to JP Morgan Chase. As far as the collective guilt of the spitud ones? Ignorance of one's own spitudity is bliss, so I don't assume any guilt to be prevalent as a collective whole of doctors and profs.
II've never seen a person pat themselves on the back as much as you for being inane, in-the-tank, and predictable on television. Yes, Piers $50 million is cheap IN COMPARISON to the billions spent on the war on terror. You might have understood that, if you weren't trying to score cheap political points against conservatives.
Jonah's line that Piers doesn't interview conservatives he harangues and cross-examines them is spot on.
The first sign Piers Morgan is not an interviewer: He doesn't listen to his guests.
Goldberg: [Statement about thesis of new book.]
Morgan: I'm not able to ask interesting questions about the book, so let's talk about this: what the bid Laden ad?
Goldberg: Obama deserves credit for making the call, but turning the victory into a political attack against Romney is reprehensible.
Morgan: But what do you think of McCain for saying shame on Obama for turning this issue into a political attack ad?
Goldberg: Did you not hear what I just said?
Morgan: No, I'm just following my script. I have another quote sitting here I want to ask you about John McCain.
Morgan: Let me restate for the fifth time that what Obama did was amazing. By the way, I don't have an ideology here, I'm just being realistic, dealing with the facts. (I clearly don't know what your book is about.)
Finally, Mr. Morgan redeemed himself from kissing Trump's a** and challenged the typical Fox Network pabulum spewed by most Republican guests, such as Mr. Goldberg.
Piers Morgan tore Jonah Goldberg to pieces this morning, it was brutal. It was 4am in Nairobi but it felt like high noon. For someone who sets a divisive tone to the conversation on political ideology, terms people with different world views as 'stupid' (read Amazon book description) and spends his time destructing the liberal point of view, I think Jonah Goldbergs' very public flogging was well deserved. Such conversations stir up emotions and make people focus on things that don't matter, things that don't improve the life of an average citizen. I'm not American but from this thread, I can take an educated guess on the political leanings of each person. It is easy to see how this conversation has divided people along partisan lines. This is politics made in Africa. America is one of the greatest nations in the world and in these dire times, Americans should work together and not let their ideological differences divide them. So what if conservatives are like this or liberals are like that. All that matters is what they can do for their country. As divisions cause America to suffer a grid lock because consensus is hard to find, the world keeps moving forward. Economic giants are born, political influences shift. The privileged position that America holds in the global stage is not a permanent one. It would be sad to see its politics lead to the loss of its political and economic dominance.
it just doesn't seem like a flogging to me. maybe that's just my take, but by most of the replies i've read, it seems about 2/3 of the audience here think the same...though that doesn't prove anything of course. i think we can agree that to refuse to allow a person to finish a thought as piers did almost the entire time, indicates bias against....well against SOMETHING. against jonah's book? jonah's opinions? jonah himself? not sure, but you just don't keep interrupting a person (especially so early in the interview), without having some kind of bias. add to that the fact that piers admitted he didn't know enough to ask good questions about the book, when the whole point of the interview was to ASK GOOD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOOK. i really don't see how anyone could argue piers had no bias. where am i going with all this? piers had bias, and it was pretty transparent. piers claimed to have no bias. what was jonah's point at the beginning of the interview? that liberals in the media rarely admit to their bias. piers' made fun of jonah's point, then set about proving it. if it was a flogging, piers was swinging the whip the wrong way. 🙂
I was taught in NA that we must cahnge people, places and things and I did that 16 years ago and still clean to tell you that your advice may kill this teen!!!
AMEN. I almost didn't post all wneeekd because I was afraid that people would think I was pro-child abuse becasue I'm anti-changing my profile pic. Last year, I actually lost a friendship that started with a disagreement about cause-related marketing, and how a chain bookstore's holiday campaign did more to improve the bottom line of the chain bookstore than to actually help anyone in the community.PS Although it's too bad about the friendship, I'm still right about that.
Nice Interview
Piers was soooooooooooo rude! Why did you have Jonah on the show? You didn't let him talk and you were disrespectful. If you have someone one, shut up and let them talk. I like your show normally but was shocked at the behavior of Piers. Please settle down and let people talk some.
I felt the "interview" with Jonah Goldberg was a disgrace. Instead of allowing the man to share his views, he was hectored and harangued by the host. We didn't get to hear much from Mr. Goldberg. I'm not tuning in to here Mr. Morgan's rude and arrogant proclamations. Much more of this and we'll start wishing Larry King was back! Get rid of Morgan, and get a real interviewer in there.
Piers – You are on the wrong network, you belong on MSNBC with angry Ed, sarcastic Rachel, rude Chris and the many more leftists Do you ever let anyone that is not a fan of Obama finish a sentence? You let Morgan Freeman say that all who don't want Obama to have a 2nd term are racist, and you just nodded in approval. No wonder your rating are in the toilet.
Interviews are great. I am glad he is off AGT and got in a better work.
I don't think the majority of peolpe who changed their profile pictures thought that this would solve child abuse. I say majority because I am sure their are some peolpe out there that feel that they have done all they need to do, but it raises awareness of the problem. Even peolpe, such as yourself, who found the whole thing to be ludicrous are now aware of the issue. And by aware I mean of course that it is in the forefront of their minds or at the very least floating in the mind somewhere around the forefront.I applaud your efforts to increase awareness of this idea of slacktivism which I agree is an issue and a bothersome one at that,but don't be fooled into thinking that posting a few links to child abuse hotlines is some huge call to action.I just fail to see the difference between peolpe sitting around changing their profile pictures and peolpe sitting around complaining about it.
Piers should've kept going with the line of attack about Romney and the Republicans' brazen hypocrisy. A better question would've been, "can you point out to me one instance where you criticized Bush or any other Republican for invoking 9/11 during a political campaign as they did countless times?"
what would have been better would have been to allow Goldberg to speak. But that was not on the agenda. every time Goldberg started to get to what Romney really said (full context) or meant he was cut off by a stupid question. this was a typical liberal hack interview. waste of time listening to this dope Morgan. he fools no one
Anyone that puts 'typical liberal" in their post tips their hand-partisan beyond reason.
Be that as it may, why should a guy who tries to re-frame the NAZIs as 'liberal" and then after cheerleading the last administration's slide into "nation building" has the nerve to cry about using the US military for political reasons when it's not HIS guy, get any respect?
How about not giving aid and comfort to the enemy by slandering a sitting president in a time of war?
Oh yea, that's only when it YOUR guy
Piers you the best... this is the best interview i have ever seen in a very long time. More of reality more of substance than politics. Thank you so much.
piers, keep up the great work and i liked your intellectual points of discussions !
Gee, what a terrible interview. I'm not sure Piers Morgan actually needs a guest at all. He seemed to be engaged in a public act of self-gratification that was embarrassing to watch, even by CNN standards. Just wind him up, he can bang his little tambourines together all night long. An interviewer this shallow and boorish is really more suited for celebrities than politics. One wonders how low CNN's ratings have to go before they realize a British accent can't cover up a total lack of interviewing skills.
Presumably the reason for the interview with Mr. Goldberg was that he just finished a book. I sat through the entire interview and didn't learn anything about it. Maybe that was Morgan's agenda.
today in court 8/29/11 that he wasnt prepared for the kids to live with him that he didnt have chotls for them. he expected me to hand over all the chotls and things to him. someone needs to investigate more or i will sue everyone involved if my kids get hurt or dead. this is already emotionally neglexting them. thank you Jami Holford
I had intended joiinng you in London, however a committment made some time ago is in the way. I do however on a regular bsis give Talks on my Book and life experience in Ireland in the hands of the so called Sisters of Mercy. My voice allows me to inform different organisations of what really happened behing a six foot wall in Moate, co Westmeath Ireland. In fact what the representatives of the Catholic Church did to innocent Irish Catholic children throughout the Country. The damage and destruction they left in their wake and we today still feel the pain of our loss of Childhood and Family life. Keep the candle burning.Kathleen O'Malley.
the interview was a joke. clearly the Romney quote had more to it than what was pulled out and did not at all mean Romney would not go after BL. but every time Goldberg tried to get to this point Morgan cut him off with some stupid question. This was the most disgusting display i have ever seen in an interview. But as expected from this liberal hack.
Have you explored the potential coalition of conservation-minded, Main Street Republicans, Democrats and antipartisans in support of Jill Stein and the Green Party? Her combination of local emphasis, public health (as opposed to health insurance), constructive foreign policy and politics "as if people mattered" (as e. f. schumacher put it), seems like a winner to me.
I can assure you that you will get a more substantive interview by getting Dr. Stein on your show.
Piers Morgan is a pompous pseudo-journalist and Jonah Goldberg, had he been truly "interviewed" vs. prodded, poked, and badgered might have ventured forth with an opinion regarding the hypothetical with which he was presented. I would daresay that Morgan is ignorant of the fact that it was the Dem/Progs who drove us through the palisades of national impoverishment by pushing CRA loans, GSEs, lifting Glass-Steagall, pushing for strong end user derivatives' exemption & myriad other bad ideas in their quest for a utopia. He is clearly jumping on a tangent in order to be antagonistic ... no wonder the fraud-with-an-agenda-Morgan was fired from THE DAILY MIRROR – and who on Earth would trust him or take him seriously.
How to successfully interview someone smarter than you: 1. pose question 2. allow interviewee to speak till they're 80% of the way to a complete answer 3. interrupt with another question 4.continue till you're out of time, creating the impression you have stumped someone.
This wasn't an interview–it was a badgering. Jonah came on the show to talk about his new book, and Piers spent over half the time relentless harping on Bin Laden. I don't know one thing about Jonah's book after watching this 12 minute hectoring match.
I though that the purpose of the interview was to give the audience an opportunity to discover who Johna Goldberg is...not a platform for marketing a product manufactured by Mr Goldberg, for the express purpose of his personal financial gain. Do you really enjoy television commercials that much?
Piers Morgan isn't necessarily wrong, but that was an extremely byest interview. When we held model UN in high school, we were discouraged from using those 'cheap' tactics that piers morgan used.
Piers Morgan is a pompous , rude and gossip mongering host.
He should go back to tabloid journalism.
Why not ask him honest questions and allow him time to respond? Instead we get this. Those who mentioned this is the best interview or best interviewer ever, I feel sorry for you. The entire interview was painful to watch. Agree or disagree with Goldberg, he gives you issues to think about. A good host could push the envelope a bit, but there was zero that was thought provoking in this interview, Piers Morgan will be gone from CNN inside of 2 years.
noun \ˈin-tər-ˌvyü\
Definition of INTERVIEW
: a formal consultation usually to evaluate qualifications (as of a prospective student or employee)
a : a meeting at which information is obtained (as by a reporter, television commentator, or pollster) from a person
Pies Morgan did indeed interview his guest; those that complain that Mr. Morgan did any and everything but, are simply upset over the fact that Mr. Morgan, though his interviewing techniques, revealed his guest for the disingenuous individual he truly is.
corrections: Piers & through...my apologies for the typos.
I'll keep it simple.
Jonah, outstanding performance through intelligence in putting this bias "bully style" reporting at bay. It's a matter of time until CNN fires this pompous know-it-all. Perhaps PM should take Wolf out for dinner and take some notes. He obviously did not in years past. Lastly, I doubt PM could get a job spell checking at the National Enquirer. Cog...I hope its sooner.
1a5Just a fast hello and also to thank you for discussing your tips on this page. I wound up indise your weblog proper right after researching physical fitness connected problems on Yahoo guess I lost track of what I had been performing! Anyway I'll be back as soon as as soon as a lot more indise the long-term to take a look at your blogposts down the road. Thanks!
just spam but coming from a not very hhtealy person just to have attention I would say. This is the threat. To speak about it the way you are doing is a good answer like this everybody knows and even if the person who did it have his(her) attention, you are making the right statement. Harassment in blogging is not admitted!
From the transcript: "That's good journalism, isn't it?," replied Morgan. "Isn't that the point of an interview?"
Piers Morgan wouldn't know good journalism if it bit him in his ample derriere.
For readers not fully aware of Morgan's "credentials," he was an entertainment reporter for tabloid The Sun (1989–94), and editor of tabloid News of the World (1994–95) and tabloid Daily Mirror (1995–04). He did plenty of damage to people's reputations at all of them, and laughed about it all the way to the bank. Lying, gossip, unfounded innuendo, going for the jugular...the whole ball o' wax.
After having practically been run out of Britain on a rail (Iraq photo hoax), Morgan took Simon Cowell's advice and moved to the U.S. where American viewers don't really know his tawdry tabloid history. Now Morgan's sordid past is being exposed along with every other low life at NOTW, etc. Without a public acknowledgement–indeed, an apology for deceiving the public during his years as a presence at not one but three notorious British tabloids–I don't think Morgan will ever be able to wash the stink off himself from being mentored by Rupert Murdoch and Kelvin Mackenzie, both repulsive yellow journalists. Now he's trotting himself out as a quality but "dangerous" mainstream interviewer on CNN. Shame on CNN for hiring this disreputable and lame excuse for a journalist. It's a sad day for journalism when Piers Morgan is considered "quality journalism."
I expect the Leveson Inquiry to implicate Morgan any day now. Then CNN will have to fire him or risk being seen as silent supporters of criminality themselves.
If you want to know how much is $50 million:
it is about 1/10th of what Obama stole from the taxpayers to give to his campaign bundlers at Solyndra.
PM would never attack a Socialist or a Muslim this way. CNN is having an election year objectivity melt-down. No wonder their ratings suck. If CNN doesn't take the new seriously, why should viewers?
Got a pistol?...put salt and pepper on it, and eat the damned thing! Better for you this way...and for everybody else too!
Your story sounds so much like mine. I was in an abiuvse relationship for 7 LONG years with a meth addict. I FINALLY got the courage to leave and never look back (after trying to leave for 5 years.....unsuccessfully). I'm now married to a man that treats me like a queen and we have a beautiful baby boy after getting my tubes "untied". Thank you for sharing your story! I know it will help someone else in a similar situation! 🙂
If Goldberg didn't have an opinion about the cost of the bin Laden operation couldn't he have said "I have no idea"?
Great interview! Intellectually challenging 🙂 Piers Morgan is not just an 'interviewer'....Piers Morgn is an excellent journalist with a tough reputation. Do Your Home Work before sitting before Pierce Morgan. This is not the 'View' 😀
Simply a very clever man. He's brought some dynamism to TV news. After Piers, it's hard to go back to watching other boring interviews. Thanks Piers Morgan!
The police tell us to buy guns. Off hours, if we ask them, they tell us to buy guns. plus, i don't think people will follow jewish politicians because people don't trust them.
I kind of doubt that people with psych problems or criminal records or gangy types wouldn't be able to get guns. the police sell them to them in some cases. they seem to be attracted to that type of thing and will get kids to steal them or something. they will get them, or something else.
i would put my money on bulletproof vests and my own ability to survive. no interest in shooting other people, just want to live if i meet a nut.
i think he is right that people would be more likely to shoot one of the family by accident. i'm glad that bloomberg speaks his opinion though. sometimes i like him.
Piers...please, please, please do your job and allow your guests to speak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What kind of interview was this? You should never ever allow viewers to develop empathy for your guest because of your bad manners. I was actually sympathetic for him at the end and I DIDN'T agree with his position and I feel bad about that. This is not the British parliament where the loudest voice wins. Be a real interviewer like Mike Wallace or Larry King and allow someone through careful questioning to fall into a trap of their own making with their flawed logic. I don't want to feel sorry for this guy and I do...YIKES! Get your head out!!
Jounalism? Please! Jonah Goldberg is highly literate and articulate when given the opportunity to speak. Piers ran down more bunny trails than Elmer Fudd.
Jonah Goldberg is such a dork. Piers is absolutely right – a good journalist plays devil's advocate and asks questions the interview subject won't be comfortable answering. A toady lapdog reporter onl asks safe questions agreed to ahead of time, a tractic no self-respecting journalist would ever agree to.
Then Goldberg whines that he's being "cross examined". Piers should be thrilled! That's EXACTLY what a good journalist does, he/she cross-examines and keeps probing and probing until the interview subject gives a direct answer to a direct question instead of evading a response.
I don't have CNN so I haven't seen but a handful of Piers' interviews here on the website, but so far I like what I see, which is a LOT more than I can say for any other television reporter I've seen in many years. I thought television journalistic integrity died with Peter Jennings. (And I miss Jane Pauley, too.)
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But imagine if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could definitely be one of the very best in its niche. Awesome blog! Robbin Goal http://www.robinhoodchina.info
Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your webpage? My blog is in the very same niche as yours and my visitors would really benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Appreciate it!

"Piers Morgan Tonight" host. "No wonder the country got into the mess it did." Are you for real? We're in the mess we are in, do to
the out of control spending from the last 2 presidents and the current democratic one is spending quicker and greater then the last
republican one ever did.
My unborn baby is now over $53,000 in debt to this country. The spending from our current president needs to stop and the blame game
needs to stop.
It s probably worth noting that Morgan tried to describe Jones as a conservative to make the right look bad. Instead, Anderson was placed about 15 feet away from Morgan and Orman, among the audience, and had to debate from a distance.

An Ohio family of five was found safe after they spent almost 24 hours missing in the swamps of the Everglades.
The Schreck family disappeared around 3 p.m. Thursday while on an airboat excursion and weren't rescued until 1 p.m. Friday afternoon.
Miami-Dade Fire-Rescue deployed air, land and water rescue vehicles at 9:28 Friday morning to an area about 40 miles west of the Timiami Trail, the portion of U.S. Highway 41 that travels through the Everglades between Tampa and Miami.
The search for Scott, 44, Carie, 42, and their sons Drew, 9, Luke, 7, and Zane, 3, of Akron, Ohio, combed some 1,000 square miles through murky swamp covered in dense sawgrass that would have prevented the family from being spotted at ground level.
Searchers heard them blowing whistles and an air horn and a crew aboard a helicopter eventually spotted the family aboard the camouflaged airboat.
Florida Fish and Wildlife said the Schrecks's airboat apparently got stuck in the vegetation.
Fish and Wildlife spokesman Jorge Pino said the family appeared to be "in good condition," even though thunderstorms swept through the area Thursday night and more rain fell Friday.

Photographs snapped last week of the Antarctic Peninsula reveal a glittering landscape of ice and snow, crowned by rugged mountains rising majestically in the distance. Yet no human captured the stunning view — it was the work of machines.
Thanks to the combined technological powers of satellites and weather stations scattered around the Antarctic Peninsula, researchers can now keep tabs on the region's shifting ice — which in recent years has undergone dramatic changes — from the comfort of their offices.
AMIGOS 6, one of many specialized weather stations staked around the region, took the above image on April 24 and relayed it to a satellite the same day.
First deployed during the 2010-2011 Antarctic field season, each AMIGOS (Automated Met-Ice-Geophysics Observation System) station is equipped with a thermometer, instruments to measure wind speed and direction and a camera to photograph its surroundings. Stations set out on the ice itself are equipped with GPS to monitor changes in the flow speed of Antarctic glaciers, which are essentially huge rivers of ice.
The AMIGOS are congregated near a spot that has been home to sudden, catastrophic changes in Antarctica's ice. In 2002, the Larsen B ice shelf — a vast, floating plain of ice larger than Rhode Island — broke off from Antarctica's coastline, disintegrated into an army of icebergs and floated away in the course of 35 days. (Ice shelves are enormous plates of ice that float on polar seas, but are connected to the shoreline by the land-bound glaciers that feed into them.)
The above image shows the remaining stub of that ice shelf, which is labeled as the SCAR inlet calving front (calving is the process by which icebergs break off of ice shelves).
The AMIGOS and the watchful satellites that sail overhead are helping scientists monitor any further changes in the region's ice. When ice shelves collapse, the glaciers that feed them speed up, dumping more ice into the ocean and raising sea levels.
Sunny skies and westerly winds prevailed in the region when a NASA satellite snapped the above photo on April 24, and temperatures rose well above freezing.
However, the sudden warm spell was preceded by weeks of weather that was colder than usual. The sea ice that is choking the shoreline, labeled as fast ice in the image, is a telltale sign of the recent frigid temperatures.

Jawanza Poland's USF team is making as much a case to warrant their inclusion in the NCAA tournament as they are for the committee being completely out of their minds when offering a bid to Cal. It's been a thorough thrashing all game, and there's no better example of USF's dominance than Poland's follow-slam. [TruTV]

This is a very niche product for a) those who want to move overseas with their dogs or b) Mariah Carey. Who knew dogs needed additional oxygen supplies when flying at altitudes above 2000m?
Developed by 4 Paws Aviation, the Supplemental Oxygen Supply Hood aims to ward of hypoxia, keeping enough oxygen floating in your pooch's bloodstream so he can keep a big smile on his face like the model-dog above. Though I can't say for certain that dog is actually alive, mind you.
With a similar design to the cone used by vets to keep dogs from licking wounds, the hood is fastened by Velcro and attaches to either an oxygen bottle or the oxygen supply onboard the plane.
In case this is all sounding like a Very Good Idea, you might be interested to hear that the company also produces clothes, earmuffs and "doggles" for the canine species, too. [4 Paws Aviation via GizMag]

" In Soviet Russia, shield installs YOU!"
InstallShield is a software for creating computer viruses or cracks. InstallShield was also the name of Google's secret storehouse until it was rampaged by the Apple Computer during the world war II. Apple Computer is currently trying to destroy the remaining cracks created by InstallShielders that keep ruining Mac OS X and Apple's web site.
Note: as of March 2007, it has been reported that Bill Gates and his evil companions have started using Installshield to deploy things like Internet Explorer, Windows Porno Player, etc. Yes, this means that we should be moving on to Linux as quickly as possible. Linux rules!!!
How to Do it[edit]
There are two primary types of applications that can be created by the Windows version of the InstallShield tool, and they are called Basic MSI and InstallScript. Basic MSI projects are built into registry-messing applications disguised as Windows Installer (MSI) packages. InstallScript projects are created using an pseudo-based class reports and built into EXE files that will show like THIS. Now you see why Microsoft guys have made this wonderful invention?
Actually, the scripting and compiling of these packages are simple. Here is the structure of the practical installshield script.
[html code start] [Today's menu] -apple juice- -eye of newt-(this is an option) -other commands- [April fool's section] includearticle 1 includearticle 2 :):):):) [actions] Command 1 command 2 command 3 .... '''//actionend.'''
Installshield is a VERY, VERY powerful tool. This partly relies on the fact that it provides numerous macros that allow virus writers to rampage, and destroy, other computers and programs. Here are standard functions, classes and macros that are most commonly accessed by these writers.
- fatalRegAccess class
- Allows quick access to registry keys that, when edited, will cause the system to crash. (e.g. fatalRegAccess::DisableBoot())
- crashComputer class
- Crashes the computer and makes it display a blue screen. You can set the error messages using the function setErrorScreen(error_message). By default, it will display a random message grabbed from the system itself. This makes the error more realistic. You can also set certain input types that will disable the error using endAccessKey(Combination_of_access_keys). (example: crashComputer::setErrorScreen("This computer will reboot a thousand times!!"))
- hideFromSystem macro
- hides the application from showing in the main window, taskbar, or the Application and Process section in the CTRL+ALT+DELETE window. Very useful for hiding and stopping users from forcing the application to stop. E.g. hideFromSystem --CTRL_ALT_DELETE --TASKBAR
- antiAntiVirus(anti_virus_app_name,anti_virus_version) function
- Directly interacts with and crashes, stops, or otherwise fools specified antivirus program. If you specify a version, it stops all versions same and below. The function's name is a sort of pun, as you can see. Note: this function makes your program rather large and slow, so use it with care. Also, you cannot block an antivirus application that the Installshield compiler does not support. So far, only a few antivirus programs have been able to deal with this function, and since the InstallShield compiler itself is updated frequently, there won't be many problems...(e.g. antiAntiVirus(Windows Defender,'*')--this means "all versions.")
- WebViruses class
- Accesses a list provided by Microsoft that has thousands of viruses. This enables the programmer to download more viruses onto the user's computer without his or her knowledge. (e.g. WebViruses::download(online_virus_location, download_folder, command_to_run_after_download))
Some installers, of course, add extreme and complex passwords to all the frustrations the users get. Adding a password or product key is very simple. Just rename your script file to name.password.txt then compile it. If it doesn't work, either you are running it in a Mac or your compiler is way too young(wait till it ages).
To get pass passwords, you can either click "NEXT >" for 563240373 times(Never use a macro; it will gonna crash with Installshield) or just type in the key at the outside of the installation USB ROM.
Why bother to read 'em? They're just parts from the village crap.
Some crazy noobs use things like Inno setup or 7z SFXs, which require no less than 5129kb of source code. If you are one, please change right away, for you have spent worthless money and time on those crappy, crashing compilers. Use installshield, which is secure, fast and most annoying of them all.
Easter Eggs[edit]
The installshield development interface, as well as the actual installers, provide some easter eggs to surprise programmers and customers.
Installshield IDE[edit]
- Clicking on the help menu five times will show a pop-up image depicting obscene content.
- Try the undocumented function crashComputer::blastAll(). On compilation, the IDE will minimize into the taskbar and the computer will go crazy!
- Typing "Apple sucks!" at the password dialog will end the installer. Very useful to surprise your friends and families.
- Leave the welcome page open for 3 hours, 12 minutes and 43.232 seconds. After the time has passed, the computer's monitor will become suddenly white, with the message, "How dare you ditch me!! You shall pay!!!!!" Then the computer will automatically format all hard and removable drives. If you have a CD burner, the burner will destroy itself, or any CD rom inside.
- Running the same installer 111 times will cause it to play an internal sound file that says "Bug off!"

The Best Babymoon Destinations Around the World
The post The Best Babymoon Destinations Around the World appeared first on The Blonde Abroad.
The post The Best Babymoon Destinations Around the World appeared first on The Blonde Abroad.
Whether we're on a long-term trip overseas, enduring a busy work week or embarking on a weekend adventure, a lot of time is spent traveling between the places we visit. Although the actual 'travel' part of traveling can be a positive experience at times, it can also be extremely exhausting. But, what if you could get rewarded for your travels, no matter what mode of transportation you use? Sure, it sounds like a bit of gimmick, however, it's actually quite real.
There is indeed a way to earn travel rewards for sitting in traffic, taking the subway, biking or even skiing.
Every year people across the globe travel 25 trillion miles via some form of ground transportation. In fact, economists put $18 trillion as the cost people pay for moving from A to B through ground transport. Yet, the universal behavior of mobility goes largely unrewarded. So the question is – why are the only travel rewards programs focused solely around flying? This is where the Miles App swoops in to save the day.
Simply put, Miles is an app that delivers value for every mile traveled, across every mode of transportation – with greener forms of travel rewarded even further. The app is designed to work seamlessly in the background, logging each trip from start to end along with the mode of transportation used. For example, users who carpool or take a rideshare service earn 2x miles, those who use public transit receive 3x the miles, those who bike earn 5X, and those who walk or run earn 10x the miles. You're even rewarded 3X the miles for skiing!
You might be wondering what exactly you can do with these "miles" that you earn and accumulate throughout all your travels. They're essentially points you can use to redeem rewards with leading brands and retailers across various categories. Rewards cost as little as 100 miles and are redeemable either online or at a nearby store. Rewards include free products and services, credits, and discounts with brands such as Target, Ray-Ban, Home Chef, Garmin, TOMS, Silvercar, YourMechanic, Chewy.com, Thrive Market, and many more. With over 200 brand partners offering exclusive specials on the Miles platform, there's typically a reward for everyone.
Miles doesn't only work with brands to provide rewards. They also partner with cities and public transit authorities to encourage users to choose more sustainable modes of transportation. The way they do this is through what's called a "challenge". For example, Caltrain, located in the San Francisco Bay Area, put out a challenge to residents to take three train trips. Once completed, the user was rewarded with a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card. With challenges like this which encourage users to partake in greener forms of transportation, the Miles app incentivizes a more eco-friendly and healthy lifestyle, while providing users with rewards they love. They're on a mission to deliver as much value for every mile traveled, all while promoting green travel. What's there not to really like about this program?
To build up your miles quickly, there are a few things you can do. Here are some top suggestions:
Refer a friend! Every time you refer Miles to a friend, they'll receive 1,500 miles upon sign up and you'll receive a bonus 1,000 miles when they complete their first trip.
Use eco-friendly forms of transportation whenever possible. The bus and train give you 3X the miles, biking 5X, and when walking & running you earn 10X the miles.
Take a road trip with friends! Carpooling gives you 2X the miles, and your friend gets to earn along with you.
Get 250 bonus miles when you use this exclusive code given to me by the Miles team – "earl2019". It needs to be used soon though as it's only valid through 12/31/2019 and only for the first 500 users!
So, if you have a chance, I highly recommend downloading the Miles app. There's no other app out there that offers rewards for all forms of ground travel like Miles does. They're also constantly adding new reward options and challenges which are not only exciting and fun, but well worth the bonuses you receive!

I remember the days when it was almost impossible to stay connected globally. Whenever I was traveling abroad, I had to either rely solely on Wi-fi, search for the best local SIM cards and then carry multiple SIM cards everywhere I went. Of course, this was not ideal.
I had to keep track of all the cards, it all cost a decent amount of money and there was also the fear of not being able to work abroad because of the poor Wi-Fi connectivity in the places I stayed. Luckily, times have changed for the better and now with a simple eSIM card, we can travel and stay connected at the same time without too much hassle.
So, what is an eSIM card exactly?
It is basically a SIM card that is embedded in your device and allows for easy and stress-free access to the Internet when traveling to different countries. The good news is that an eSIM doesn't require a physical SIM card and to connect, all you need to do is scan a QR code and enter a confirmation code. Then, as long as you have an unlocked eSIM-compatible device (we'll get to this in a moment) you're good to go.
One of the main eSIM companies is called Airalo. They are the world's first eSIM store that offers access to more than 100 eSIMs via compatible devices at the most affordable rates. To figure out how this all works, let's start with the basics by answering some useful questions.
The easiest way to purchase an eSIM on Airalo is to visit their website (airalo.com), find the country you're planning to visit and purchase the eSIM data plan that suits you best. If you're traveling to different countries in one region, Airalo also offers regional eSIM data plans. For example, if I was going on a trip to Germany, Austria, and France and got their Europe eSIM, this would allow me to stay connected in all of these countries.
This is quite easy. After you purchase the eSIM, you'll receive detailed information on how to add the purchased eSIM to your phone. But there are two options available. The first option iss to add the eSIM by scanning the QR code. The procedure is simple and involves going into your account, then to 'settings/cellular mobile plan', 'add cellular/mobile plan' and then you'll be able to scan the eSIM QR Code and enter the 4-digit confirmation code when prompted. The other option is to add the purchased eSIM manually. I think they have this option in case you experience issues while scanning the QR code. All you have to do is follow the steps which are included in the eSIM confirmation details after your purchase.
With Airalo's eSIM, it actually activates as soon as you land in the destination the eSIM is designed for. If you purchase an Airalo eSIM for India, once you land in Delhi or Mumbai or wherever your first stop is in that country, just turn on your mobile device. Make sure your data is turned on and the eSIM will automatically connect to the local network and become active. If you purchase one of the time limited eSIMs (such as one that is valid only for a week), your time begins as soon as your phone connects.
Yes, you can install the eSIM before you hit the road, but your data pack gets activated once you reach your destination.
If you need to top-up your Airalo eSim, it's also very easy to do. Simply log in to your Airalo account (either on the website or on their app), click on 'My eSIMs', choose the eSIM you want to top-up, and select the top-up amount. It basically takes less than 2 minutes to finalize the purchase.
Yes, it does, but you can also use the Dual SIM / Dual Standby technology in compatible handset models that allows you to stay connected with both your eSIM and your physical SIM simultaneously. You can also choose which of these two SIM cards you wish to use for your data connectivity.
Yes, you can, as long as it's done via VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). This means, you are free to make calls via FaceTime, Skype, WhatsApp and similar platforms. You cannot use the phone number itself to make phone calls.
Most of Airalo's eSIMs don't expire. However, there are some exceptions, specifically when you purchase a time-limited eSIM. This includes eSIMs such as their 'Thailand unlimited data for 8 days'. Naturally, the eSIM expires after 8 days, although you could renew it before then.
This is quite an important question and one that you should look at before purchasing an eSIM. Airalo is expanding their list of devices that are compatible with the eSIM technology, but for now, here are the devices that can be paired with their eSIM cards:
iPhone 11
iPhone 11 Pro
iPhone 11 Pro Max
iPhone XS
iPhone XS Max
iPhone XR
Nuu Mobile X5
Google Pixel 3 & 3XL
Google Pixel 4
Windows 10 PCs
Lenovo Yoga 630
HP Spectre Folio
iPad Air (3rd Generation)
iPad Pro (3rd Generation)
iPad Mini (5th Generation)
Gemini PDA
Motorola Razr 2019
Samsung Galaxy Fold
If you have a compatible device, this could be the ideal solution for staying connected during your travels.
It's super simple, quite affordable and ensures you're connected as soon as you arrive. Times certainly have changed!

Twenty years.
On this coming Christmas Day, it will really be 20 years. It was December 25th, 1999 when I boarded a flight from the US to Bangkok and, without knowing it at the time, began my life of travel.
Two crazy decades ago. Two unbelievable decades.
I still have an extremely difficult time believing everything I've experienced in every corner of the world over those past 7,300 days. I have a difficult time simply coming to terms with how my life has played out so far. It's turned into something that I could never have anticipated no matter how wild I might have allowed my imagination to be.
Over the next few months, I'm going to share several blog posts about these 20 years of travel. I'll open up and talk about as many aspects as I can that have shaped my life and who I am. I'll also dive deep into each powerful travel lesson learned, the range of destinations I've visited, the endless people I've encountered and the infinite moments that are responsible for keeping me on the road for so long.
Today, however, I'm going to keep it simple.
With only a couple of weeks left in 2019, I thought about what I wanted to share at this time of the year.
What I came up with is a small, but vital, lesson I've learned during my travels near and far.
I kindly ask you to stop and listen.
That's the lesson. To stop and listen.
You see, I get frustrated with the world, just like most people. I get angry when I reflect on the direction things seem to be headed in when it comes to politics, travel and more. I get mighty upset when I read about hatred and nastiness and a lack of basic decency towards our fellow human beings.
Even writing that sentence, the muscles in my upper arm, those very same muscles that I rely on to tell me exactly when something is bothering me, instantly tense up.
It really pisses me off.
But at the end of the day, I know that no matter how upset I am, I still need to stop and listen.
When it comes to my blog, newsletter and social media, I've never been one to tackle 'the issues'. Behind the scenes I most certainly do follow global politics and I most certainly care about many important issues that we face today. But my life has always been about travel and so, I've always focused on my actual travels and my travels only.
Besides, I honestly struggle at times to make sense of the gap between what I've learned during those travels and what I often read or hear in this vast, insane online media world that surrounds us every day.
Travel lesson #2: My travels have taught me that listening to others is the single most important thing we can do to solve issues.
Not to hate or scream or call people names or refuse to hear what others say.
The reason I've reached this conclusion is clear. We actually don't have a full understanding of anything most of the time. So how can we claim to have the perfect answers?
The only way to have a more complete understanding of any topic or issue is to talk to other people who think differently than we do.
Stop and listen.
It breaks down barriers, fosters understanding, builds respect and teaches lessons, and ultimately, all of that is very necessary for figuring out the world's problems.
Of course, I get it. It's beyond difficult at times to do this. Some things we see and hear sound so horrible to us that we can't imagine listening to another side. I'm personally appalled by many things I read about today and about particular people who simply refuse to treat others with respect.
And so, I can fall into the trap myself.
At times, I start doing the same thing I don't like. I start classifying and labeling people, both those I read about and those I meet, all based on my own frustration at their attempts to classify others.
What a terrible cycle to be a part of. It results in me not wanting to meet people at all, sticking with only those who think like I do, becoming more close-minded and bringing other people down as well, all due to my own negative and narrow outlook.
Go figure.
I temporarily forget my own valuable lesson. Stop and listen.
Luckily, I realize my mistake when it does happen and I work on breaking out of that pattern as soon as possible.
When I'm thinking clearly, my brain doesn't have the capacity to comprehend the idea that there is only one way to do something…'our way'.
The idea that anyone who doesn't think or act 'our way' is so wrong that we need to tear them apart, is a disturbing one to me.
Such a mindset ends up putting us inside of a bubble.
It's a bubble filled only with like-minded folk who hold like-minded beliefs and who all follow like-minded media outlets. It's safe and it helps us avoid facing other perspectives that we are not comfortable with. When that happens though, our willingness to genuinely listen to others and enter into constructive discussions disappears almost instantly.
As I mentioned above, we then tend to use our own like-minded bubble to convince us that 'our way' is even more right and 'their way' is even more wrong.
Travel lesson #3: If travel has taught me something else, it's this… Nobody is right. And nobody is wrong.
What we think is obvious, others think is crazy. What others think is 'right', we may think of as evil.
Everyone is just a different human being with a different set of life circumstances. There are ALWAYS very real and unignorable reasons why we all think and behave the way we do.
We don't have to agree. But we do have to acknowledge the above. Only then can we stop and listen, debate with true purpose and create an inclusive framework for improving and protecting our lives, our countries, our communities, our planet and so on.
Twenty years of travel…
Over that time, I've spoken with Buddhist monks in Cambodia and Taliban fighters in Pakistan, shop owners in Quito and taxi drivers in Nairobi, cafe workers in Playa del Carmen and dancers on cruise ships, rabbis in Cyprus and wine makers in Romania, farmers in New Zealand and musicians in Varanasi, the homeless and wealthy, the educated and uneducated and every kind of person in between.
Yes, try sitting on a patch of grass at 11:00pm in the mountains of Pakistan, talking with a group of young, heavily armed Taliban fighters who start off by saying that they hate Americans and Jews.
What if I told you that by the end of our encounter, we were all laughing as if we had been friends for years? What if I told you that we actually made some kind of attempt to discuss their believes and mine, in a respectful way?
Believe me, that will teach you a few life lessons quite quickly. When I learned exactly where their beliefs come from and when I saw their faces as they tried to understand why I didn't believe the same things, I'd say that night was worthwhile for everyone involved. It ended in mutual understanding and an absurd amount of hugs and handshakes.
We can fight wars and bomb the hell out of people but to me, stopping and listening is where it's at. It's where the solution can be found.
All the travel experiences I've had since 1999 have shaped my life and who I am. I am me because of the infinite perspectives that I've encountered, all the fascinating circumstances I've learned about, all of the different (and sometimes difficult) views that I've been forced to try and understand and all of the genuine human beings who have been willing to share their little corner of the world with me.
Had I been in some kind of small bubble over those past 20 years instead, I have no doubt that I would think quite differently about the world and about myself.
As far as I'm concerned, thank goodness I got on that plane back in 1999.
Travel lesson #4: Here's the beauty of it all…those twenty years of travel have shown me that we all really need each other.
Trust me on that.
To make progress, everyone needs everyone else, even those we don't agree with. It's the only way to take a serious problem, find some common ground and turn it around.
So, with the end of the year and the end of the decade now upon us, let's see if we can focus on popping the bubbles and melting the walls that divide us. The result will be greater understanding, greater unity and a greater desire to work together to actually get stuff done so that we can all (planet Earth included) live better lives.
That shall be the focus of my 2020. Stop and listen.

2 Maine men charged with selling oxycodone pills in Lincoln and Knox counties
ROCKLAND, Maine (AP) � Maine drug agents say they have arrested two men who have been selling oxycodone pills in Lincoln and Knox counties for months.
Police on Tuesday arrested 33-year-old Andrew Goupil of Wiscasset, and 68-year-old Joseph Dupaw of Dresden, as they were about to board a ferry to Vinalhaven.
Agents also seized 200 oxycodone pills worth an estimated $7,000 and more than $1,500 in cash at the time of the arrests.
Goupil, who has prior drug convictions, is facing a charge of aggravated trafficking. Dupaw is charged with trafficking and violating bail conditions from a recent assault arrest. They are being held at the Knox County jail. It was not clear whether they had lawyers.
Police say the pair had been under investigation for several months.

Chaz Bono shows off his major weight loss
- On %27The Doctors%2C%27 he tells how and why he is slimming down
- Bono shares advice for viewers
- He%27s more than halfway to his goal
Chaz Bono is losing weight under doctors' orders — TV talk-show doctors, that is.
Bono returns to the daytime talk show The Doctors, on Wednesday to show off his progress so far in trimming his 250-pound, 5-foot-5½-inch frame. At that size, he was deemed clinically obese and at risk for all sorts of nasty conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
So he was told to lose 80 pounds. In three months, he's lost "more than half" that.
Bono, soon to be 44, tells his docs how he did it on Wednesday's show. He talks about the the most difficult challenges so far, the internal and external differences he has noticed, and shares advice for viewers who want to lose.
He's already talked about the details of his struggles since childhood to achieve a healthy weight. In an interview on the show in November, he said that in his family, being thin was "prized above all else."
"I wasn't an overweight child, but I was put on diets all of the time. So there was a lot pressure to be underweight growing up."
Bono grew up as Chastity, the daughter of the late Sonny Bono and Cher, his still-slender mother. In 2010, he completed his female-to-male gender transformation; now he's working on his weight transformation.

First of all... Hi everyone !
I'm new on this forum and I wish to find answers for some of my literature-based questions.
I was wondering if you could tell me which of the British literary works of the 1950s and 60s reflected sexual revolution and social changes of that time?
My first guess would be "Lady Chatterly's Lover" (only it wasn't from the 50s nor 60s) and John Robinson's "Honest to God". But what other books reflected what the new generation of young Britons wanted/believed in/disagreed with?
Thanks in advance

An international team of scientists is prowling the Great Plains this spring, hoping to catch the most detailed glimpse inside a tornado yet. And they're giving daily updates of where they're hunting on their website.
The project is called ROTATE 2012 (Radar Observations of Tornadoes and Thunderstorms Experiment), and it's being run by the Center for Severe Weather Research, which is based in Boulder, Colorado and funded in part by the National Science Foundation. The CSWR has three "Doppler-on-wheels" (DOW) vehicles, which are mobile versions of the advanced radars that track air movement and precipitation.
The team will also be using a set of 22 instrument pods that can be dropped in front of oncoming tornadoes. "The instruments may be destroyed," the CSWR notes, but any data they obtain will be stored in a black box that can be recovered afterwards. The plan is to record as much information about the inside of tornadoes as possible, providing a clearer glimpse of how they form, the forces in action as they grow, and the precise mechanisms by which they wreck just about anything in their path.
If any of you are in the area under study (So far, the team has tracked fronts from South Dakota to New Mexico), the team posts daily updates of their activity, including maps that will tell you where they've been hunting. The photo at the top of this article was taken near Rango, Kansas, where several tornadoes were tracked.

Features High-Performance Analytics for Anti-Money Laundering
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- With corporate reputations and millions of dollars on the line, the need to effectively combat financial crimes has never been greater. Featuring high-performance analytics for fighting money laundering, business analytics leader SAS has a new suite of software that helps manage and deter financial crimes even more efficiently. With initial components generally available in Q1 2013, SAS® Financial Crimes Suite is built on SAS' industry-leading analytics and information management technology. Organizations can use the flexibility of interconnected modules to roll out either single or multiple modules, decreasing implementation times and improving results.
"Essential to any meaningful discussion on combating financial crimes is a technology platform that is versatile, scalable and usable," said Jim Candelmo, Executive Compliance Director and BSA/AML Officer at Ally Financial. SAS Financial Crimes Suite is such a technology platform.
The new anti-money laundering solution – powered by SAS High-Performance Analytics technology – includes enhanced scenario tuning and what-if analysis. This technology dramatically reduces the time – from hours to minutes – it takes to provide investigators relevant information, conduct preliminary analyses and identify areas that need further attention, such as suspicious transactions or unusual patterns. This gives them more time to focus on the most critical cases.
The SAS Financial Crimes Suite brings together multiple SAS solutions and technologies for detecting, preventing and managing financial crimes including money laundering and fraud. Suite components include data management, detection and alert generation, alert and case management, predictive alert analytics and fraud detection built on category-specific workflow, and advanced analytics including entity-link analysis. By sharing information through a single suite, organizations can have a holistic, behavior-based view to more accurately detect suspicious behavior. With this SAS enterprise suite, firms can also budget and deploy in phases, helping them to focus on the most pressing issues now, and yet confidently expand to address emerging risks in the future.
The suite's configurable alert management provides a unified view of all work in progress across channels, giving investigators better insights for taking action to reduce risk, fight fraud and improve results. Dashboard reporting shows key performance indicators so analysts, investigators and managers can continually monitor areas of specific interest.
SAS Financial Crimes Suite also offers cross-channel visibility using entity link analysis, a common ground for information sharing and collaboration. With it, firms can measure risk for a group of entities, uncover previously unknown collusive activities and better understand their overall financial crimes exposure.
"With mobile payments on the rise, criminals will continue to take advantage of weak security controls," said CEB TowerGroup Research Director Jason Malo. "Putting a common technology infrastructure in place with layered security to support monitoring and investigating all channels will be of utmost importance moving forward."
Read more about an integrated financial crimes platform in the free SAS white paper, "A Unified Front: Making the case for integrating fraud and anti-money laundering processes," or learn about "The Next Generation in Fraud, Compliance and Security Solutions."
Today's announcement came at The Premier Business Leadership Series event in Las Vegas, a thought-leadership conference presented by SAS that brings together more than 600 senior-level attendees from the public and private sectors to share ideas on critical business issues.

Steakcraft: Quality Meats' Seared Three Filets
Behind the scenes of New York's premium dry-aged steaks. An in-depth look at the aging, cooking, and presentation of New York's premium dry-aged steaks from beef expert Nick Solares.
Steak Fact Sheet
Cut: Filet Mignon
Grade: USDA Prime
Breed:Black Angus, Creekstone Farms
Pre-Cooked Weight: 9 ounces
Price: $45
Price per Ounce: $4.80
Last time on Steakcraft we looked at Quality Meats' massive 64 ounce double rib steak. This week we look at another steak from their menu which is almost the polar opposite: the seared three tenderloin filets. Like many of the offerings at Quality Meats, there is a whimsical, playful element to the preparation: The dish is actually a deconstruction of three popular filet mignon recipes served on a single plate. Quite unlike the primal, charred hunk of beef that is the rib steak, the filets are treated gently and lavished with a supporting cast of quality ingredients and lots of classic French culinary technique.
A 9 once portion of Prime Filet is divided in to three medallions and pan seared. One portion is served "Oscar" style with crab, asparagus, and Béarnaise sauce. In a twist on the traditional plating, the crab is placed under the filet. Similarly, the Wellington preparation places the filet atop oysters, and is then capped with a ring of puff pastry, rather than the full wrap of a traditional Wellington. Finally there is a play on steak au poivre, which is probably the least deconstructed of the recipes. The dish is immensely popular, selling an average of over 40 portions nightly.

Are You Happily Invoicing Your Customers?
Closed: 20 May 2010, 1:46PM PT
Our entrepreneurship series - sponsored by AcceptPay from American Express - is compiling interesting resources, valuable tips and useful services that can help out small business owners. One of the key themes we want to discuss is the process of invoicing -- because what could be more relevant to a small business than getting paid? Every business (small or large) needs to deal with billing customers and efficiently accepting payments. For smaller companies, though, invoicing and payment collections can become a more time-consuming process than it should be.
For those of you out there who are already happily invoicing -- what kinds of invoicing software do you use? What kind of billing solutions have you tried? What is your opinion of online payment solutions? (full disclosure: AcceptPay is a player in this market.) How would you evaluate an online payment system for your company?
However, if you've ever encountered invoicing challenges that started to eat into the enjoyment of actually running your business, do you have a happy-ending story for your billing solution? What would you recommend for other small businesses that might have similar experiences? What kind of procedures have you developed to make your accounts receivable easier to handle and more reliable?
To other helpful folks who aren't (yet?) entrepreneurs, what types of small companies do you think might benefit from using online payment solutions (that may not already be doing so)? How would you describe the market for online payment services? What recommedations have you seen for small business invoicing software?
We're looking for your input on these topics, and the best response will be published on the Entrepreneur's Corner edition of Techdirt, as well as receive a monetary award. Other high-quality insights may also receive monetary bonuses, depending on the content and how many insights are submitted.
