In "I Love You, Man," a comedy from John Hamburg ("Along Came Polly," co-writer of "Meet The Parents," "Meet The Fockers," "Zoolander"), Peter Klaven (Paul Rudd, "Knocked Up" "The 40 Year Old Virgin") is a successful real estate agent who, upon getting engaged to the woman of his dreams, Zooey, ("The Office's" Rashida Jones), discovers, to his dismay and chagrin, that he has no male friend close enough to serve as his Best Man. Peter immediately sets out to rectify the situation, embarking on a series of bizarre and awkward "man-dates," before meeting Sydney Fife (Jason Segel, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"), a charming, opinionated man with whom he instantly bonds. But the closer the two men get, the more Peter's relationship with Zooey suffers, ultimately forcing him to choose between his fiancée and his new found "bro," in a story that comically explores what it truly means to be a "friend."

The Project American Heroes II '69 Camaro built by Route 66 Motorsports (New Lenox, Illinois) exceeded our wildest expectations at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction this past April in Palm Beach, Florida. Associate Editor Patrick Hill of Super Chevy tells the story: "We anticipated PAH II making an impressive splash at Barrett-Jackson, but we about lost our minds when the gavel banged and the auction ended. Before we knew it, the bidding price was at $100,000 and starting to slow down. But the various bidders regrouped and the bidding took off like a rocket.
In the blink of an eye the selling price hit $250,000 and had everyone stunned with excitement. After some more encouragement from First Lt. Mark Little from the podium, the price eclipsed $400,000 and had the arena buzzing. When the gavel banged and all was done, the price on the screen was $500,000.That's right, half-million dollars to benefit the Armed Forces Foundation."
Hats off to the new owner, Dave Parker, of Los Angeles, for his love for our country and our military personnel. A Vietnam veteran, Dave is now enjoying his incredible and historic PAH II '69 Camaro. Knowing the ways in which many military families have already benefitted from the Armed Forces Foundation with funds generated through the sale undoubtedly makes that LS7 motor sound even sweeter slicing up those California canyon roads.
Some of you may be unfamiliar with the Armed Forces Foundation. Through a multitude of programs the Armed Forces Foundation assists military families with transition and career counseling, everyday living expenses, rent, travel costs, holiday gifts for military children, therapeutic recreational activities, and counseling for those affected by emotional and mental trauma. Coming alongside of families who have lost their loved ones to war, the Armed Forces Foundation helps with funeral arrangements.
Amazingly, 94 percent of all donations go directly to military members and their families. The Armed Forces Foundation has been recognized by the President of the United States, the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Education and the Department of Energy for its dedication to America's Service men and women. More information can be found at their website (www.armedforcesfoundation.org).
As this missive is being penned, U.S combat troops are withdrawing from urban areas in Iraq, but the fight against terrorism still rages in Afghanistan. Tragic life-changing injuries, traumatic experiences, and the invisible scars that remain from battle require that those of us who enjoy our freedom stateside need to do all we can to support our newly arrived heroes. That's why organizations like the Armed Forces Foundation are so critically important. And that's why we're building another hot rod to raise money for the Armed Forces Foundation.
Project American Heroes III is a '70 Chevelle that will get the full monster treatment from Bill Jelinek & Company at Route 66 Motorsports. The Chevelle will feature an LS-series motor, six-speed automatic transmission, tricked out suspension, and appropriate killer wheel and tire combination.
As the stinger hood on the PAH II Camaro hearkened back to a '60s element, so too the Chevelle will lean on strong heritage by featuring a killer L-88-style hood and signature Project American Heroes patriotic graphics.

Chinese pollution is everyone's problem
About 20 percent of the world's population will be celebrating this weekend, welcoming in a new year with dancing dragons and fireworks.
Happy New Year, China.
You've wheezed and hacked your way through another click on the calendar. But instead of calling it the Year of the Black Snake maybe it should be the Year of the Black Lung, because that's what many more of you will have if you keep this up. You're making this world a very dirty place and we'd like you to please stop.
In news that should surprise no one, the Chinese government admitted two weeks ago that its air pollution had reached hazardous levels. The bigger shock is that they bothered to announce it all. Until now the government there has never acknowledged that it has a problem.
And yet its air pollution is very well-known. It was the most striking thing I noticed in two visits there. The sky was a constant brown and the street lights were shrouded in a persistent, dense fog. Honestly, it's like sitting in a giant hookah lounge.
It's the price they're paying for progress. While we in the West admire their economic development, we often overlook that China is also causing potential respiratory harm, not only to its own 1.3 billion people but also to the rest of the world.
Although Beijing is 6,200 miles away, it's conceivable that its air pollution could have some effect on the air quality here in California. Things blow around; it's just the way the atmosphere works.
"I think the answer to that is yes, it does have an effect, but it would probably be a fairly small contribution," said Sam Atwood, media relations director for the South Coast Air Quality Management District. His district monitors the air in this area. His counterpart in the eastern part of the county said basically the same thing.
"Two years ago when there was concern that radioactivity from Japan would show up in California it never materialized," said Violette Roberts. "There was nothing of significance and it's believed that most of it was absorbed by the ocean."
But a report in the academic journal Environmental Science and Technology a few years ago suggests that there could be more to this Chinese pollution problem than we realize. It was picked up by The Chemical and Engineering News and highlighted by the Wall Street Journal a little more than two years ago.
First, the report found a way to detect isotopes in the air that are commonly found in the coal-producing regions of eastern China and then it concluded that as much 30 percent of the San Francisco Bay Area's pollution matches those samples.
There wasn't much commotion over that report, so its accuracy may be in question. It's a case once again of who do we want to believe?
"I wouldn't trust those numbers to be very accurate," said UC Riverside chemical engineering professor Akua Asa-Awuku, who researches particles found in the air. "Less than 10 percent of China's pollution probably reaches us, depending on if it rains."

Safety fears over plan to axe Barrow dog role
Last updated at 14:30, Friday, 27 April 2012
THE public will be at greater risk from dog attacks if Barrow Borough Council goes ahead with plans to axe its dog warden, according to the man who faces losing his job.
Dog warden Bill Burrows has been informed the council intends to scrap the position on September 30.
Mr Burrows, 55, has worked at the kennels for 12 years, including the past four as warden. He said the proposed cut would see more strays on the streets and an increased danger of maulings.
"After September 30, a lot of dogs will be left to roam the streets and of course there'll be an increase in attacks," he said.
"Some of the dogs I see on patrol, like pit bulls, are frightening and we don't want these wandering around our streets. Whether it's me or somebody else, we do need a dog warden to be there for the public."
But council chief executive Tom Campbell denied the cost-saving measure would jeopardise public safety and said the Streetcare team would be fully trained to carry out the warden's duties should the post be scrapped.
He said: "If we move to a new system of operation, then any member of staff who is expected to handle a dog will be trained and equipped to do so.
"The purpose of a dog warden is to pick up stray dogs and the frequency of dangerous or vicious dogs is extremely low."
Mr Burrows recalled an incident when a Streetcare team member was bitten while on duty.
"He approached the dog, which was a bull-cross, and it bit him in the stomach and right through the hand and he had to go to the hospital," Mr Burrows said.
"I can't understand the council because (the Streetcare team) doesn't have the experience to pick the dogs up. You have to be so careful when you approach strays and every situation is different."
Mr Burrows, who has since written to Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock and the council, also warned the decision could spark a rise in canine-carried diseases such as the potentially deadly parvovirus.
He said: "We've never had a case of parvo in my time as dog warden. How's the Streetcare team going to identify sick dogs earlier enough to get them isolated? If you get parvo in the kennels then everything would have to be destroyed."
The proposal to scrap the post, as well as other positions including market manager, sports development officer, technical support officer and policy and strategy officer, is designed to ease a £127,000 budget deficit.
Mr Campbell said a final decision would be made later this year after discussions between the council, employees and the unions.

Have your say
So the dog warden is facing the axe but the man who goes around with a blower which scatters all the recently cut dandelions and daisies all over my drive and the pavements keeps his job........lunacy.
This being the same council that is blowing a fortune on fixing up private housing for a couple of hundred residents? Yet they can't find the money to employ the one and only dog warden in the borough? I thought it was only the government that didn't have a clue!

So Long But Not Farewell to Dennis Kucinich
(Ready Abby's response to Salon's Glenn Greenwald.)
The Daily Show, April 11, 2011:
John Oliver: Help me understand how you have been re-elected in the state of Ohio?
Representative Dennis Kucinich: Harmony and understanding, sympathy, and trust abounding.
John Oliver: Are you quoting the musical "Hair"?
In the end, there just wasn't much harmony and understanding in the race for Ohio's ninth district. Dennis Kucinich, among the wackiest members of Congress, got beat decisively last night by his colleague Marcy Kaptur in very nasty Democratic primary. The two incumbents got lumped together after Ohio lost two seats in redistricting.
Kucinich was one of the least likely, most memorable members of Congress. He started his political career in the late '70s as the "Boy Mayor" of Cleveland. He entered Congress in 1996, and thanks to two no-shot-in-hell presidential bids, Kucinich came to be a favorite among lefty college kids and Birkenstock-wearers around the country. He was probably best remembered for trying to impeach Dick Cheney for his handling of Iraq and for his presidential push for a Department of Peace. There was also the recent revelation, courtesy of his friend Shirley MacLaine, that Kucinich had an encounter with UFOs. A great round up from the Washington Post highlights some of the particularly bizarre facts about "the vegan ventriloquist" and over at New York, Noreen Malone offers a nostalgic look at the congressman's career.
Ironically, it was Kucinich's efforts at political survival that might have done him in. The congressman has flirted with moving to Washington state to run in an open seat there. Kaptur ran ads hammering the possible move and even comparing Kucinich to LeBron James. Fighting words within 100 miles of Cleveland. Kaptur's hardly done facing characters though—she's got to beat the famous "Joe the Plumber" in the general.
Kucinich, characteristically, did not concede in the usual manner, stating that Kaptur "ran a campaign in the Cleveland media market that was utterly lacking in integrity." He may yet take his "harmony and understanding" to Washington state, although that could mean resigning from his current office. Or perhaps The Daily Show can offer him a spot doing his ventriloquism act.

I signed up just to express my complete and utter disgust with your rag. Kucinich was one of the few reasons to have respect for the Democratic Party. He's an honest man compared with the bootlickers writing in this magazine. If you had any decency, you'd apologize for your attack on one of the very few remaining national political figures with integrity... but you have none.
For shame. For shame.
Same here. I registered to post this comment and then I'm going to un-register. "Tom Human" and "American Prospect" are the real jokes. It says a lot that their smarmy character-assassination of Dennis Kucinich is identical to what the Washington Post has been writing about him for years.
Glenn Greenwald says all one needs to know about this crappy fake-liberal web site and "Mr. Human":
"So let's recap the state of mental health in establishment Democratic circles: the President who claims (and exercises) the power to target American citizens for execution-by-CIA in total secrecy and with no charges — as well as those who dutifully follow him — are sane, sober and Serious, meriting great respect. By contrast, one of the very few members of Congress who stands up and vehemently objects to this most radical power — "The idea that the United States has the ability to summarily execute a US citizen ought to send chills racing up and down the spines of every person of conscience" — is a total wackjob, meriting patronizing mockery."

Like Tom Human I registered to express my disgust with AP for running Rapoport's Kucinich smear.
In what universe is Kucinich wacky? It would be the universe in which America's Versailles on the Potomac determines what is deemed sane.
To the editors of AP: What is it like to sit on the leftwing of a reactionary political coalition?
Sat, 2012-03-10 12:29
I have to express my disgust with the intellectual and emotional dishonesty at the heart of this odious establishment-sponsored hit piece. To see what a principled thinker and writer has to say about the supposed "wackiness" of Mr. Kucinich, please see Glenn Greenwald's takedown of this oh-so serious political observer.
"...the state of mental health in establishment Democratic circles: the President who claims (and exercises) the power to target American citizens for execution-by-CIA in total secrecy and with no charges — as well as those who dutifully follow him — are sane, sober and Serious, meriting great respect.

I also created an account to comment on this piece. Wow, what a terrible article; if I wanted to read amateur smear jobs like this, I'd spend more time at Fox news. You call yourself "liberal, progressive, lefty" while running pieces like this? And politics aside, it's just bad journalism; it's intellectually lightweight, substituting analysis and nuance for cheap shots. I know you'll probably try to spin this internally as a success-- you're generating "controversy" and look at all those page hits!-- but I for one will not be visiting again, nor subscribing.

I'm sure if you thought a bit longer you could have come up with something even triter than "favorite among lefty college kids and Birkenstock-wearers around the country," but, maybe not. So while "wacky" Dennis Kucinich was trying to impeach Dick Cheney for lying us into a freaking war, what were you doing? Attending the Maureen Dowd seminar on passing gas when you have nothing substantive to say?

Perhaps one should be sympathetic to Am Prospect for smearing Kucinich. Such smears are apparently required if one is to be welcomed into the company of Serious, Establishment Democrats.
What passes today for Serious Democrats? Those who'd howl at a Republican for doing what Obama's done: continue/expand aggressive wars predicated on falsehoods, drone-murder innocents in countries with which we are NOT at war, expand international, U.S.-run death squads, continue indefinite detentions without charges, condone torture, suspend habeas corpus, expand domestic spying, etc.
Establishment Democrats appreciate they must embrace these policies if they're to be taken Seriously. American Prospect desperately wants to be taken Seriously by Establishment Democrats. And so American Prospect has no choice but to smear Dennis Kucinich, who's consistently opposed the very vile policies that Establishment Democrats now embrace.
So, congratulations American Prospect! You've proven you deserve to rejoice in the company of the Big Brother Establishment Democrats and neocons who now run the country.

Dennis Kucinich, among the wackiest members of Congress
-- Abby Rapoport
The above comment would only make sense to hypocritical progressives who value blind allegiance to personality over rational, sane, and moral government policy. Today's deluded "leftist" considers disparaging those who call attention to our hideous governmental policies as being a worthy substitute to fighting against those policies.
Being a patriotic American means not being afraid to speak out against indefinite detention of American citizens without due process, government sanctioned executions of American citizens without due process, drone killings of innocent civilians, the perpetual war-machine, and America's support of the occupying 'nation' of Israel that is currently engaging in terrorism, murder, apartheid, and the imprisonment of Palestinian children. Mr. Kucinich has and does speak out against these very things. What about you, Abby?
Ms. Rapoport's insults are probably born out of a combination of opportunism, ignorance, laziness, and cowardice; as such, they are pathetically unpatriotic. She needs to apologize to Mr. Kucinich.

I guess I would be shocked but it's been clear for a few years now that there are many people like Ms. Rapoport who are myopically partisan and seem unaware or at least unconcerned by the vast suffering meted out by our government daily.
I think blue ribbon definitely goes to her mocking treatment of "lefty college kids and Birkenstock-wearers", which seems puzzling, because she seems to have been born into the same class of relatively privileged people she so loathes:
Abby Rapoport served as a writing fellow at the Economic Policy Institute, in Washington, D.C. before coming to Austin. She covered the 2009 legislative session for TEXAS MONTHLY under the tutelage of Paul Burka, the magazine's senior executive. Previously, she blogged for Glamour Magazine and interned at Lapham's Quarterly. A Williamsburg, Virginia native, she has a degree in history from Grinnell College.
At least Kuttner still brings the noise (sometimes).

If only Dennis had been a cigar-chomping, whiskey-drinking, golf-playing, skirt-chasing war monger... He may have earned a little more respect from the American Prospect. It sucks that Dennis has nothing much to show for his time in Congress.... other than being courageous and correct on almost every important issue that has faced this country over the last 30 years.
One would hope that another writer at the American Prospect would use this opportunity to make it clear how being 'conventional' is killing us.
Sat, 2012-03-10 23:18
I'll take Dennis Kucinich any day over the police state-expanding, warmongering, corporate-coddling, bankster-protecting phony occupying the White House (and I don't mean "occupying" in the good sense).
Ms. Rapoport, based on this piece, seems like she is striving for a sinecure among the ranks of the establishment liberals who only have "principles" when they are politically useful. She is sure to go far in a political culture akin to a charnel house.

What's so wacky about a congressman that opposes illegal wars and subversion of Constitutional guarantees at home?!! What's so wacky about a congressman who stands up to his own party's hypocrisy and complicity with respect to crimes against humanity, and nature?!! I included Glenn Greenwald's rebuttal of this lame article that seems to belie AP's alleged liberal credentials. You ought to be ashamed, or at least admit that with respect Rep. Kucinich and others like him you're no different than the corporate MSM.
Glenn Greenwalds response to AP's attack on Rep. Kucinich:
Last week, Rep. Dennis Kucinich was defeated in a Democratic primary by Rep. Marcy Kaptur after re-districting pitted the two long-term incumbents against each other. Kucinich's fate was basically sealed when the new district contained far more of Kaptur's district than his. His 18-year stint in the House will come to an end when the next Congress is installed at the beginning of 2013.
Establishment Democrats have long viewed Dennis Kucinich with a mixture of scorn, mockery and condescension. True to form, the establishment liberal journal American Prospect gave Kucinich a little kick on the way out, comparing his political views to the 1960s musical "Hair" (the Ohio loser talked about "Harmony and understanding"!), deriding him as "a favorite among lefty college kids and Birkenstock-wearers around the country," and pronouncing him "among the wackiest members of Congress." Yes, I said The American Prospect, not The Weekly Standard.
The Prospect article also praises as "great" a snide, derisive Washington Post piece which purports to "highlight some of the particularly bizarre facts about" Kucinich. Among those is the fact that "he introduced impeachment articles against former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Cheney for their roles in the Iraq war" and "proposed a Cabinet-level agency devoted to peace." What a weirdo and a loser. Even more predictably, a team of four interns at The New Republic – the magazine that spent years crusading for the attack on Iraq, smearing Israel critics as anti-Semites, and defining its editorial mission as re-making the Democratic Party in the image of Joe Lieberman – denounced the anti-war Kucinich as "ludicrous," citing most of the same accusations as the Prospect and the Post. [...]
So let's recap the state of mental health in establishment Democratic circles: the President who claims (and exercises) the power to target American citizens for execution-by-CIA in total secrecy and with no charges — as well as those who dutifully follow him — are sane, sober and Serious, meriting great respect. By contrast, one of the very few members of Congress who stands up and vehemently objects to this most radical power — "The idea that the United States has the ability to summarily execute a US citizen ought to send chills racing up and down the spines of every person of conscience" — is a total wackjob, meriting patronizing mockery.
Both the Prospect and Post recite the trite case demonstrating Kucinich's supposed weirdness. He's friends with Shirley McLaine, who believes in reincarnation, and he once (according to McLaine) claimed to have an encounter with a UFO. Is any of that really any more strange than the litany of beliefs which the world's major religions require? Is Barack Obama "wacky" because he claims to believe that Jesus turned water into wine, rose from the dead and will soon welcome him to heaven? Is Chuck Schumer bizarre because he seems to believe that there's some big fatherly figure sitting in the sky who spewed fire and brimstone at those who broke the laws he sent down on some stones and now hovers over him judging his every move? Is Harry Reid a weirdo because he apparently venerates as divine the "visions" of a man who had dozens of wives, including some already married to other men?
Neither the Prospect nor the Post would ever dare mock as "wacky" the belief in invisible judgmental father-figures in the sky or that rendition of life-after-death gospel because those belief systems have been deemed acceptable by establishment circles. "Wacky", like its close cousin "crazy," is a term of establishment derision exclusively reserved for those who deviate from such conventions. And that's the point worth making here: the real reason anyone with D.C. Seriousness, including many establishment liberals, relished mocking Kucinich is because he dissented from the orthodoxies of the two political parties. That, by definition, makes one wacky and weird, even when — as is true for the Obama assassination powers and so many other bipartisan pieties — the actual wacky and crazy beliefs are those orthodoxies themselves (we've seen this repeatedly with those who stray from two-party normalcy). In reality, the actual crazies are those who fit comfortably within that two-party mentality and rarely challenge or deviate from it, while those who are sane, by definition, dissent from it (just today, the Super Serious Democratic Sen. Carl Levin, a prime co-sponsor of the indefinite detention bill passed late last year, called for a naval blockade of Iran). [...]

If you think that Dennis Kucinich is a nut because he's against war with Iraq or Iran, he supports Social Security, and he doesn't support giving our Present the power to assassinate American citizens, then the American Prospect is for you. If not, then just delete it from your bookmarks, and support other websites that promote Democratic values.

I registered only to express what a complete and total piece of garbage I think this article is. The article fails to address any substantive issues regarding Kucinich's political career. Like the fact that he was among the only politicians in washington brave enough to stand up against the Iraq invasion.
Anyway, the article is just a hack piece, why was it published?
Sun, 2012-03-11 09:49
I left Prospect behind several years ago just because of pieces like this. I had to request a new password so that I could comment. This piece is symptomatic of what is wrong with the Democratic party. It no longer believes in democracy and it has not even a passing acquaintance with the great moral issues of our time. Prospect is o so clever, but has left truly humane values behind.

Intercourse you, American Prospect. If I wanted to read wingnut crap, there's plenty of other places I can find it. I've been reading your mag since it started. No, More. And I'm so very sorry my original post set off your "profanity filter," You hand-wringing grandmas and your overwhelming politeness concerns are everything that's wrong with the Establishment Non-Left.

Dennis Kucinch will go down in history as one of the true followers of the Constitution. He was dead on right with every action he took to protect our country from war mongering ghouls, to following the Consitution to Impeach the worst president in history. Only blue dog right wing demorats, and uber right wing tea baggers would speak negatively about this man, who was truly a man of the people, for the people. I hope he moves to Washington and there this time as a Senator. If this man had been elected President, we wouldnt be facing fiancial collapse, nor in ever ending wars. The problem for the US, is we have a "corporate owned media" who benefit off the miltary industrial complex, who are owned by zionists pushing for war after war. Dennis is viewed around the world as a peacemaker, a diplomat. He should be Secretary of Peace and Diplomacy, and given the exact same amount of money as the Pentagon. Its diplomacy and sanity we need in our leaders, unfortunately the only ones who get to be president, must cater to Wall Street, the multi national corporate elites and the Pentagon.

Listening the unfunny John Oliver ask him those stupid questions, rag on his beautiful wife is incredible. I would have expected this from Rush the drug addict, or Hannity the Insanity, Or Bill Oreilly the pressitute.

American Prospect's attack on Rep. Dennis Kucinic is a sad commentary on the author and the magazine. There is nothing wacky about calling for the impeachment of Dick Cheney--I wrote a book about the impeachment of Bush and Cheney because their grave abuses of power warranted it. I happen to know something about impeachment having served on the House Judiciary Committee during the impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon. If it is wacky to demand accountability from a president and his team who put themselves above the rule of law and drove the country into a war on a basis of lies, then God help us as a nation. The author's resort to name calling is despicable as others have said. Dennis Kucinich was a brave and courageous member of Congress; he voted his conscience and he cared about the Constitution and his country. Making fun of him for that--shame on you. He will be missed. Former Congresswoman Liz Holtzman PS I created an account simply to register my disgust.

And here's yet another you who signed up expressly to register his disdain and disgust.
To my mind the only remotely interesting question at play is whether this organism known by the proper name Abby Rapoport is capable of following through with the writing of such a piece* because she is utterly indifferent to the contempt and disgust in which she will be held by absolutely every reader, without exception, who stands above a certain ceiling of intelligence; or is herself insufficiently intelligent to fully appreciate how fully univocal this grunt of disgust will be.
Is she stupid enough to think the reaction will actually be mixed, that a few among the intelligent might be mildly amused and laugh of the piece as harmless rather than as spineless?
Not a bit of it Ms. Rappotport.
Be firmly ensured that the question is not whether every single reader of genuine intelligence will view you (inasmuch as your name and words briefly enter their consciousness) as a feckless invertebrate, utterly without intellect or integrity, but simply whether you give a damn.
Perhaps you give a damn, but consider obscurity sufficient insulation to assuage what would be the sting of shame . But is it really possible you take your chances supposing some intelligent readers will think your spineless vacuity no big deal (quite apart from how big a deal anything written by such two-bit hack can be)?
I suspect there is a *limit* to how obtuse a primate capable of assembling intelligent English sentences can possibly be, but if you think such a small name can sustain so massive a burden you are widely mistaken.
*"Such a piece" is quite sufficient; anyone who needs actual descriptors to know precisely what I mean is neurologically debarred from ever knowing it

Do think the parents of those children in Afghanistan would think Kucinich's a kook for trying to keep us out of their land so we wouldn't kill them while they sleep in their homes?
Suggestion: Do your job and upset the status quo instead playing 'punch-the-hippie'.
Tue, 2012-03-13 10:26
Needless to say, I'll have to convert my question above into a rhetorical one since the parents of those toddlers were probably shot in the head as well. Given that you decided to write a feeble justification for your smear piece in lieu of an apology to Mr. Kucinich, how about doing this instead: Do some investigation (google it) into why President Obama wanted to perpetuate our war effort in Iraq instead of withdrawing as we were ultimately forced to do by Iraq?
In addition: How does he reconcile the above with staying in Afghanistan for the obscenely short time of 12 years? In other words, why is he pulling out so quickly two and half years from now? Why not stick with his original sensible extraction date o 2024? The way I see it, 22 years in Afghanistan is sensible. ['Sensible' in the same sense that killing children and hundreds of innocent civilians with drone strikes is making us safer by not creating more terrorists.]
Thu, 2012-03-15 12:35
Ms. Rapoport, surely no one will pay you money to write for them again. wait--perhaps you can become the new designated democrat on fox news.
i used to subscribe to this magazine but it never inspired me or gave me reason to fight for anything i believe in.
kucinich did.

North Haven Village Board members are considering raising the fee associated with obtaining a certificate of occupancy in the village from $100 to $150.
At a village board meeting on Tuesday, June 5, Village Clerk Georgia Welch explained that the last time the board raised this fee was in 2007, at which point the cost had been $25.
"I thought if there's anything that should be increased it's this," Welch said. "It generates a large number, and the mayor didn't want to increase any of the building permit fees."
Mayor Laura Nolan explained that a Certificate of Occupancy (COO) would be required anytime a house is bought, sold, re-mortgaged, or any time there's a renovation. This would apply to any structure added to the property, even a shed, but would not be necessary for minor construction to existing property.
"If you have a small project, I don't think there should be a dollar amount," Trustee Jeff Sander said. He suggested using a sliding scale for COOs, so that large construction projects would be charged $150, but someone putting a shed in his backyard, for example, would pay significantly less.
"I think there's a serious problem with what people have to pay for small projects," he added.
Welch said the permitting process could not be applied on a sliding scale.
The board did not take any action on this proposal Tuesday night, but agreed to continue discussions at an upcoming work session.
In other news…
Noting the high volume of trucks continuing to park along Route 114 to suck water up from the water mains that run through North Haven, Mayor Laura Nolan said the village has composed a letter of complaint to the Suffolk County Water Authority.
"The trucks are not serving village residents," Nolan said at a Village Board meeting Tuesday, June 5. "They're loading up on water and delivering it elsewhere."
Nolan continued to explain that she and other trustees have noticed these large water trucks filling up on Route 114 then taking the ferry to Shelter Island, where, she added, the water is not public.
"It's all day long!" she exclaimed.
Trustee George Butts added that the crux of the issue is that it's a traffic hazard.
And Village Clerk Georgia Welch complained that the trucks "can take up an entire lane."

Falcon 9 v1.1 Appears on Fast Track To Qualify for Air Force Missions
WASHINGTON — With its successful launch of the Thaicom-6 commercial telecommunications satellite Jan. 6, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) appears to have met the U.S. Air Force's requirements to bid for national security launches and challenge the market incumbent, United Launch Alliance (ULA) of Denver.
While Hawthorne, Calif.-based SpaceX has not received formal certification to launch operational national security satellites aboard its Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket, Gen. William Shelton, commander of Air Force Space Command, told SpaceNews Jan. 7 he has not seen anything from the vehicle's three flights to date to prevent that from happening.
SpaceX spokeswoman Emily Shanklin said via email that the company believes the Falcon 9 v1.1 has now met the three-flight certification requirement for the Air Force's Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program.
If the rocket is certified, SpaceX would become the first new competitive entrant in the EELV program, which is used to launch virtually all operational U.S. national security satellites. Today nearly all of those missions are launched aboard ULA's Atlas 5 and Delta 4 rockets, and, coupled with soaring costs, has made the EELV program a lightning rod for criticism.
Shelton has said repeatedly he is pleased with ULA's record, but thinks the price of launching rockets is too expensive. In a speech to students at George Washington University here Jan. 7, he praised Elon Musk, SpaceX's chief executive.
"I don't doubt that guy anymore, by the way," Shelton said. "What he says, he's going to do."

Looks like the recent successes are going to be paying off!
Falcon 9 Rocket Will Deliver JCSAT-14 Satellite to Orbit
Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) was awarded a contract with SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation of Japan to launch the JCSAT-14 communications satellite to a geostationary transfer orbit on a Falcon 9 rocket in the second half of 2015.
Posted 11 January 2014 - 02:42
by: Jean-Yves Le Gall (Président du Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES) (President of the National Centre for Space Studies) [President of Arianespace 2007 to April 2013]
The three perfectly successful launches of the new American launcher Falcon 9, developed and operated by SpaceX, founded in 2002 in a Californian garage, bring many questions.
Indeed, it is the first time in history that a private corporation has managed to successfully fly – and on the first try, too - a space launcher conceived with an antipodal/totally different approach to what has been done before.
These successes call out to us especially since SpaceX has announced their intent to dominate this industry, at a time where Europe has begun, at the initiative of France, the development of future launcher Ariane 6, which aims to enter service early next decade, and so will have SpaceX launchers as competitors.
In coming months, Europe will have to decide on the final commitment to Ariane 6, as SpaceX has demonstrated that is can occupy the land (serve the market) with commercial launches at very attractive prices.
If we compare the SpaceX launcher to its competitors, it differs in three ways. First, it is perfectly adapted to government payloads: NASA and DoD satellites are an important part of its launch manifest, and an even greater one of its revenues, as the American government is willing to pay more for its own launches than is billed to commercial clients.
Second, its reduced size and ease of implementation lead to especially low operations costs that make it formidably competitive for commercial satellite launches: the last two Falcon 9 launches have brought the USA back to this market, from which they had been absent for many years, due to the lack of competitiveness and availability of their classic launchers.
Finally, its technical definition and industrial organization has, since the beginning, been designed with the goal of minimizing development and operations costs: instead of being a cutting edge technology launcher, the Falcon 9 uses proven technology engines that were easy to develop and inexpensive to industrialize/mass produce, and there are very few sub-contractors involved in launcher construction, which reduces production costs.
To sum it up, where classical methods have failed – in the past ten years, the USA has terminated development of many classic launchers, after wasting many billions of dollars on them - , the Falcon 9 may well bring the USA back as leaders of the Space Race, while today they share it with Russia and China for government launchers and Europe occupies it for commercial launches.
Not to mention that SpaceX has been working on evolved versions of its launchers that, as soon as this year, might fly in an even more powerful version that might eventually be reusable, bringing down launch prices even more – something that the Space Shuttle was never able to do, even though it had been designed to do just that!
Such an evolution would mean heavy consequences for Europe with, on the one hand the loss of market share and on the other, the embrittlement of our autonomous access to space that depends on the commercial success of our launchers, given the relatively limited number of European government satellite launches.
These are the findings that lead to define for Ariane 6 specifications that are related to Falcon 9's: a perfect adaptation to the launch of European government satellites, eased launch of commercial satellites, simplified design and tightened industrial organization to significantly reduce launch costs.
It is clear that today, the USA are challenging us to compete with them by showing us the way with a system that puts into practice all those recommendations. And while, for many years, we feared competition from emerging economies with their cheap labor, competition is instead coming from the USA and their ability to innovate and to challenge themselves.
This situation bring back memories of the world of IT/computers in the early 70s, shaken by the coming of new companies that had one thing in common – they all came out of garages in California. 40 years later, the space launcher industry, today considered a sovereign (government/national) industry, may well know the same upheaval.
Europe's space launch supremacy was hard-won/very expensive. Ariane 5 is the best launcher in the world, due to its reliability, conquering launch after launch since 2003, and it will remain the best since Europe has decided to support its operation and its adaptations to the evolving market.
As such, we must react to SpaceX's challenge and move forth with the development of Ariane 6. The goal isn't to make yet another Ariane launcher, but rather to reinvent Ariane development by taking the same turn that IT did in the 70s and SpaceX is taking now. This is the lesson we learn from the Californian garages.

Brazil is more than just the popular future host of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. It is a very promising economy and the country of origin of many global challenger companies, such as Embraer, Marcopolo, and Natura. Economic analysts group the country with the most promising emerging markets, Russia, India and China, which together form the "BRIC countries." Is entrepreneurship responsible for part of Brazil's economic development? A look at some of the trends in entrepreneurship in Brazil suggests so, and the country's efforts to boost its culture of innovation and entrepreneurship promise to sustain its growth in the coming years.
Turkey offers quite a sophisticated platform for entrepreneurs. It has a diversified industrial base, a relatively stable political and economic environment, a critical mass of willing early adopters, a considerable talent pool, a strong domestic market and underserved neighboring markets. Yet, currently only 6 out of 100 people are entrepreneurs – a very low rate given the country's level of development. What challenges does Turkey need to address in order to unleash entrepreneurship as a force for economic growth?
So we know that entrepreneurs are the primary engines of job creation in the United States. Research study after research study has confirmed that it is young firms that drive improvements in the employment situation. From 1980–2005, firms less than five years old accounted for all net job growth in the country. In 2007 alone, young firms (1-5 years old) accounted for nearly two-thirds of job creation. We also know more than half of the companies on the 2009 Fortune 500 list were launched during a recession or bear market, along with nearly half of the firms on the 2008 Inc. list of America's fastest-growing companies. In light of all this evidence and in face of the employment crisis in the country, how can we truly support the entrepreneurs behind these young firms?
When President Obama will deliver his first State of the Union address is still unclear. However, with 80 percent of the population believing that new economic growth and jobs will come from entrepreneurs, discussion around what his address should include in terms of policies that encourage new start-ups is already underway.
We have long argued that the American model for development assistance could improve dramatically if entrepreneurship becomes a stronger element of economic development efforts. Unfortunately, the importance of new firm creation is a concept that has yet to gain relevance in traditional development models, such as the Washington Consensus. However, there are a few actors who understand the power of entrepreneurship and have been using it to improve lives. Diaspora entrepreneurs are using their experience and understanding about entrepreneurship to invest in new ventures in their country of origin. These transnational entrepreneurs view a globe of porous borders.
Since the economic crisis broke out, capitalism has been under the microscope. Many have blamed evil businesses and market forces for the financial meltdown, and have lost confidence in private-sector engagement strategies for recovery. Luckily, in this country many more have experienced the positive impact of entrepreneurship either directly and indirectly. In a March 2009 survey, 63% of respondents said they "prefer giving individuals the incentives they need to start their own businesses as opposed to allowing the government to create new jobs directly." A look at the role of new businesses in the economy reveals that it is not a matter of rejecting capitalism but rather of allowing more entrepreneurs into the economy.
Cost-effective "infrastructures" – both physical and legal – provide the essential platforms for the activities of all economies. In the physical realm, for example, it is hard to imagine life without roads, communications networks, airports, ports, sewer systems and electricity grids. Because of their "public good" nature, government plays a central role in financing, if not operating, such infrastructure facilities. In turn, because so much infrastructure is local, the planning and construction of many projects historically has been delegated to the states (although aided by federal financing).

Gardens and Grandeur: Porcelains and Paintings by Franz A. Bischoff
In the Main Gallery; Runs through March 20, 2011
For his masterful rendering of dynamic flowers, Austria-born painter and porcelain decorator Franz A. Bischoff earned the nickname "King of the Rose Painters." The Pasadena Museum of California Art will present the most inclusive retrospective of Bischoff's work to date, with highlights from his early ceramic work and his later practice on canvas. Bischoff immigrated to New York in 1885 and lived in different U.S. cities before settling in Pasadena in 1906. It was in California that the artist turned to landscape paintings and the plein-air style, painting the state's signature sun-kissed shore and mountain vistas.
[Photos: At top, Bischoff's "Afternoon Idyll, Cambria" c. 1922. At left, Bischoff's "A Tapestry of Roses."]

170 pay-per-view (PPV) buys featuring Ronda Rousey outperform championship doubleheader at UFC 169
UFC 170, by contrast, garnered 340,000 PPV buys with a main event pitting Ronda Rousey against Sara McMann, a 135-pound title fight that saw "Rowdy" drop and stop her fellow Olympian inside the first round. The co-main event featured Daniel Cormier's shellacking of Patrick Cummins.
Dave Meltzer provides context:
That's down from Rousey's first main event, one year earlier, with Liz Carmouche. But the drop is hardly unexpected. The promotion of the Carmouche fight, the first women's fight ever in the UFC, was among the best in company history. There was both among the most media coverage leading to a UFC fight in history, combined with a stirring Prime Time shows focusing on the two women leading to the fight.
The McMann fight did have a hook, the first time two Olympic medal winners had ever faced off in a UFC fight. And it took place the week of the Olympics. But that didn't get anywhere near the kind of media attention the fight a year earlier got. A lot had to do with Carmouche, who promoted the fight much harder than McMann. In the arena for both fights, Carmouche was clearly a far bigger "B side" star in the fight, regardless of McMann's wrestling credentials and undefeated status coming in.
UFC 157: "Rousey vs. Carmouche" topped the 400,000 mark.

|Nice day and great view. Snow from 10k' on. Solid in the early morning, slush fest in the afternoon. Early start a must. A very beautiful peak. Used the Tinemaha campground road using these directions: http://www.climber.org/DrivingDirections/redlake.html

|Route Climbed: St. Jean's Couloir Date Climbed: June 11, 2005
|It was a beautiful day on a beautiful mountain; we went up the the St. Jean's Couloir which is also known as "cake walk couloir". If you have the ability to do the East Couloir and pass on it to do St. Jean's, you will undoubtably regret it and want to go back. Even though the 1.5 hr drive from H395 to the trailhead is good at keeping people away from this mountain, I shall return (hopefully). Still was a great climb and one of my most rewarding summits.

|2nd trip to Split. Last one ended with helicopter rescue from high in St. Jean's Coulior and a fractured ankle (October 2003). This trip with Mike Corby and I alone. Ankle held up well in snow travel this time. Good snow and conditions for crampons in early mornings. Too soft and some post-holing after 12 noon. Snow shoes better after noon. Summit day was long: 4am to 8pm starting 1000' above Red Lake (10,500'). Strong gusty winds in am, sunny and warm by noon. Summited at 2 pm. Snow too soft and for good glissading. Great time of year for High Sierra's!!

|Climbed via the st jean couloir, descended the north slope. Snow conditions in the couloir were variable including waist deep powder, which was like 'swimming uphill', luckily loopperu broke trail the entire way. dom almost took a slide to his doom on the descent, but he's still with us. PICS

|Climbed with Andre and Marta. High camp at Red Lake. Heard the calls and rock fall from 2 climbers descending the St Jean couloir into the late evening. They made it down. Climb up the talus and scree the next morning. Some snow above 13,000. Foggy on top so we missed the Sierra vistas. 20 minutes after beginning the descent it cleared. Timing is everything.

|Split/Prater dayhike out of the Red Lake TH. This was to be a much more ambitious excursion, tagging Bolton Brown and Tinemaha as well--not so much because I really wanted to, as because I just really didn't want to have to drive to the Red Lake TH and slog up that godawful trail a second time. Unfortunately thunderstorms kept me from those other two objectives, so I'll either have to give up on the SPS List (probably the smart idea) or go back another time. The only benefit was that, as a result, I finished the hike earlier than perhaps any other outing all summer (excluding warm-up days, at least).
Most amusing moment of the day was the realisation that the use trail from Red Lake up to the moraine below the Split-Prater saddle was actually a better trail than the Red Lake trail. :-)

|The N. Arete of this peak, our intention, is huge. We kind of bagged on it because it exceeded our expectations of a Grade IV. It's got to be as big as anything on Temple Crag I'll try again with the right attitude I hope.

|Split mountain was the third 14-er that I summitted in six days (did Mt. Shasta and Mt. Sill before). I was well acclimatized for this climb. We started from the trailhead at 9 am. Hot day. Reached high camp by 1:30 pm (by the lakes). Decided to go for the summit that day itself. Made it to the top by 6:30 pm. Very windy at the top. Great view. Had to walk some of the talus in the dark (reached tent at 9:30 pm). Had an enjoyable hike out the next day.

|Route Climbed: North Slope from Red Lake Date Climbed: July 10, 2004
|I decided to break this trip into two days. I probably could have done it in one but I always enjoy chilling out by an alpine lake for a night before a summit push.
Left the trailhead at 12:30pm
Arrived at Red Lake @ 5:00 pm
For some reason I found this leg of the trip to be the most grueling hike I have ever done. No clue why. I even felt demoralized once I reached the lake. Red Lake is stunning. Once I perked up I had a grand old time shooting the shit with my partner and others up there. We all had copies of Bob Burd's topo with the route drawn on it. Thanks my man.
Left Red Lake at 7:30am
Summitted at 11:00am
Left summit at 12:00pm
Arrived Red Lake at 3:00pm
Left Red Lake at 4:00pm
Back to car at 7:30pm
The first leg up to the summit was mostly scree and talus at this time of the year. There was a good deal of snow on the North Slope and we had to cross some of it although crampons and an ice ax were not necessary. Although there was snow in the 3rd class chute that goes to the left of the notch, there was plenty of rock on the right side of it so we stuck to that. Above the chute it was just scrambling on rock up to the summit. On the way back down the snow was soft enough to glissade or ski down in boots mountaineering boots. I had a good time running and skiing down the snow.
We met a wonderful couple in their early 50s from Oaklahoma who camped out and tagged the peak the same night and day as we did. Howdy if you read this. I think 5 parties tagged the peak that day. 3 of the parties were SPers.
I found Split Mtn to be very pretty. The route is very straighforward and the climbing is not very hairy. There is loads of scree on that mountain, which is a pain in the ass.

|Route Climbed: North Slope from the East Date Climbed: July 10, 2004
|Day hike with some friends. There was still snow in the chute on the way up to the N. Slope. The easiest alternative was up the rock to the right. Maybe 3rd class and some of the rock was loose. The view from the top was worth the effort the overgrown, dusty, steep route extracted. On the way down it is easy to lose the trail through the jungle sections as the wrong routes are almost as well worn as the correct path. Not quite as easy as the books make it out to be, perhaps the 5th or 6th easiest CA 14er. 10hrs CTC

Too early to declare winners on banking strategy
A few years ago a senior investment banker was on holiday on a remote Scottish island. With no mobile phone reception and desperate for news from the City, he walked for miles to the island's only post office to buy a newspaper. When he finally got there, he found that the only newspapers available were a day old. "I'd like to buy today's newspaper, please," he said to the shopkeeper. "Well I'm afraid you'll have to come back tomorrow," she replied.

Eighteen-year-old Andrew Brackin has just been given the offer of a life time.
He's been handed $100,000 (£67,000) to go and live in San Francisco and work on his own tech idea.
The teenager from London is one of 20 young business people now being sponsored by Peter Thiel, the co-creator of PayPal and one of the first people to put money into Facebook.
But the offer comes with a catch.
Andrew must agree to skip university and avoid any formal studying for at least two years.
"I got through the semi-finals where there was a Skype call and interviews and then the finals where they flew us out to California and we had to present our ideas on stage in front of all these important people from Silicon Valley."
All finalists had to make their presentation without written notes before an audience at the Yerba Buena Centre in San Francisco where Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPad.
Andrew plans to use the cash to develop Bunchy, an online platform that lets charities and other organisations raise money from their audience on social networks and websites.
He is only the second British winner of the Thiel Fellowship, set up by Peter Thiel to pay for 20 teenagers each year to stop studying and try to set up a business instead.
The billionaire has been famously critical of university education in the past dismissing it as a waste of time and money for some students.
His foundation's 20-under-20 programme pays each winner $100,000 over two years, which can be used for living expenses and business costs.
The teenagers selected also get help from Thiel and other top business people in Silicon Valley, the area of California around San Francisco which is home to companies like Google, Facebook and Yahoo!

So now that I've experimented with blogging and learned how to incorporate fun and interesting features like videos, images, and hyperlinks, I'm expecting you to do the same. The bar is being set higher. But that doesn't mean I'm going to leave you high and dry, so in this blog, I'll walk you through how to do those three important things.
I haven't experimented with non-YouTube videos, but I can't imagine they are too different. YouTube videos are incredibly easy to embed. First, go to the YouTube video online.
Then, below the video, click the "Share" button; you'll open a window like this:
In this newly expanded window, click the button that says "Embed" and copy the text that comes up.
Simply copy this text into your blog and you will have the video embedded. Easy.
Images are a little more complicated, as they require that you first create an asset that is the image. So the first step is to have the image you which to embed saved as a file on your computer. Then, on the blog's homepage, select "Upload file" from the "Create" tab pull-down menu.
You will then get a screen that looks like this:
Use the "Browse" button to find your file. Once you have selected the file, click "Upload" in the lower right. You will then see a screen which will as if you want to "Create a new entry using this uploaded file." I deselected this box, but I would imagine that selecting that box allows you to create the post immediately after you upload the image; this will give you options for how to make the image appear in the post. If you deselect the box, then you will have to copy and paste the code to embed, which is not difficult; you will also have to use other html code (which I do not know right now) to alter its appearance within the blog. However, if you're working with an image that is already an asset (say, something someone else already uploaded), than you will have to follow the same steps as if you deselected the box. To embed an asset (such as ath the image you hypothetically just uploaded), select "Assets" from the "Manage" scroll-down menu on the homepage.
Below the image, click the text "Embed Asset."
This will open and highlight a line of text.
Copy this text. Next, go to the page where you write/edit entries. You will be using html commands to now insert the image. The command for imbedding images is this: img src="...". In between the quotes, paste the embed text you just copied for the asset. Also remember that all html code requires that commands be in the carrot brackets, < and >. So, put the "<" before the "img" and put the ">" after that last quote. This will tell the blog to insert what is indicated by the copied text (actually a URL link, if you look at it) as an image. (Notice that the text you copied to embed the YouTube video has these brackets.) Because a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a screenshot of the code from my cognitive dissonance blog. The highlighted text is the command code.
Lastly, hyperlinks (that is, links that actually take you to the webpage indicated by the linked URL; these are the kinds of links we want) work similarly to images. Again, you'll use html code, so put everything in brackets. Use this command: a href="..."; put the URL within the quotes. This commands opens the hyperlink, meaning that whatever text you include after the ">" will be the hyperlink. I'm putting a link to Google here, as a test. The command to close the link is a/. Thus, whatever words you want to be the link (e.g., in my blog on cognitive dissonance, it was simple "here") should go between ">" and "<". Again, since I can't show you the code in a blog (it will use it as code, not show it as text) here's a picture. The highlighted text is the command code I used, the command to actually get the link to Google I just spoke of.
I think that's everything you will need to know to at least do these blogging basics. But, if there's anything that wasn't clear or isn't working for you (or if you want to do something I haven't explained), you can always search online. Our blogs are through MovableType, which has good documentation and tips for blogging; otherwise, our blogs obey html code, so if you know or research that, you can figure anything else out without too much problem. I now expect a little more from you on these next writing assignments. But, hey, if I can do it, so can you. Happy blogging!

Recent Blogs
Hey Sebastien! I just wanted to say thanks for everything you did at the Wellmont Theater, I don't think the listening session could have been any better....well aside from listening to the whole album (which I knew wasn't gonna happen :P). Hope to see you and the band soon! And thanks for the pizza! :D
Me and my sister's dream is to meet Sebastian! Seriously, this is no joke. We saw you running around getting footage of "My Wall" when I was at their concert at The Rave, and you JUST missed filming me and my sister. Being on camera would've been cool but we feel like you're just as big and important as the band! We were all gross and fangirlish when we saw you come by. But ANYWHO, love your work, your video/photography is KILLER, and you best believe I put you in as a source of inspiration in my essay to my various art school applications.
Sebastien, My girlfriend Michelle and I would love to Thank you for being such a great host last night at the Myth in Maplewood! You made the Jd listening session an experience that we will never forget. Last night was my 22nd Korn show so thanks for making it a very special one. Thanks for all the great pics you took on the bus. Also thanks for getting a few pics of Jonathan holding the picture that her 5yr old drew of korn. He saw the pics today and just flipped out so thanks for making his day as well! Tell Jonathan thanks for us as well and we appreciate everyone being so cool and nice! We will never forget this. I would love to chat with you about a few things so if you could contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com that would be great! Sincerely Tony,Michelle and Vincent!
We had the best time with our two double platinum VIP trips with Korn this year . Having Korn spend time with their second family, "the fans", on Father's Day was above and beyond the call of duty. Sebastien is a great representative of Korn. He was very prompt, professional and made sure we got the full VIP experience. Sebby, thank you! Also, thank you JD for having great conversations with us and showing Christine and I a great time like no other rock group has ever done. Cannot wait until we meet again on your next tour.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes heads to Antarctica
One of TG's Men of the Year begins his epic quest to ski across Antarctica in Winter…
Posted: 09 Jan 2013
Cold? You don't know the meaning of it. Not like Sir Ranulph Fiennes, one of Top Gear Magazine's Men of the Year. This veteran explorer is about to cross some 2,000 miles in near permanent darkness in territory that is literally life threatening.
And when we mean cross, we mean walking across the surface. Well, skiing, technically. In an expedition dubbed 'The Coldest Journey', he'll ski across the surface of one of the most inhospitable places on earth. And sleep outside in a tent. Yowser.
Because Sir Ranulph is skiing the entire 2,000 miles, he's required to bring along some backup. The Foreign Office said that to head out there, his team had to prove they could be self-sufficient - if you get stuck on the ice, there's nobody to come and rescue you. So he enlisted the help of some men (Rob Lambert, Brian Newham, Ian Prickett), and some machines. Consider TG very interested.
You can read the full feature in this month's Awards issue of Top Gear magazine, but in short, his expedition will include two modified Caterpillar D6N bulldozers, two cabooses on skis, and some 112,600 litres of fuel towed in huge bowsers. Two skiers - Fiennes and Prickett - will lead this procession across the ice, pulling a ground-penetrating radar system that can detect crevices to help keep the machines rolling.
The journey to the shelf of Antarctica itself will take approximately a month, and the crew will set sail today from the Thames on the SA Agulhus. We'll keep you updated on this extraordinary journey as Sir Ranulph progresses, but for now, have a click through the pictures above to check out the team's machinery...

Masterfully directed by Fritz Lang, Scarlet Street is a bleak film in which an ordinary man succumbs first to vice and then to murder. Christopher Cross (Edward G. Robinson) is a lonely man married to a nagging wife. Painting is the only thing that brings him joy. Cross meets Kitty (Joan Bennett) who, believing him to be a famous painter, begins an affair with him. Encouraged by her lover, con man Johnny Prince (Dan Duryea) Kitty persuades Cross to embezzle money from his employer in order to pay for her lavish apartment. In that apartment, happy for the first time in his life, Cross paints Kitty's picture. Johnny then pretends that Kitty painted to portrait, which has won great critical acclaim. Finally realizing he has been manipulated, Cross kills Kitty, loses his job, and because his name has been stolen by Kitty, is unable to paint. He suffers a mental breakdown as the film ends, haunted by guilt. Kitty and Johnny are two of the most amoral and casual villains in the history of film noir, both like predatory animals completely without conscience. Milton Krasner's photography is excellent in its use of stark black-and-white to convey psychological states. Fritz Lang is unparalleled in his ability to convey the desperation of hapless, naïve victims in a cruelly realistic world.~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide

Scientist, activist Ian Trowbridge dead
He was the product of early post-war England who developed a keen interest in how things work, first on the cellular level and then in local government.
His friends said Ian Trowbridge of Mission Hills relished the life sciences because he needed things to make sense, and embraced facts over most everything.
Trowbridge, the retired Salk Institute researcher who turned his attention to local politics and became a thorn in the side of many an elected official, died Wednesday of an undisclosed illness. He was 65.
"Ian was a scientist at heart. That's what he did, that's what he was trained to do," said East County activist Charlene Ayers, who worked with Trowbridge to hold government officials accountable to the people they serve.
"He liked the empirical method, where you collect the evidence and the documentation and you came to a conclusion," she said. "He felt his training as a medical researcher transferred over very well to all the investigative work he did to keep government open and honest."
Trowbridge grew up in Derbyshire, a county in the Midlands area of England. He earned a doctorate at Oxford University and moved to San Diego to become a junior faculty member at the Salk Institute in 1972. He was promoted to a full professorship in 1983 and culled an expertise in molecular and cell biology.
"He was really interested in these proteins on the surface of cells in the immune system, which obviously are critical in our ability to mount a response to viruses and bacteria," said Tony Hunter, a Salk professor who co-published several papers with Trowbridge. "He trained a lot of very good fellows."
After Trowbridge retired from the Institute in 2001, he looked around his community to see where else he might help.
Trowbridge became a fixture at public meetings of the San Diego City Council, the county Board of Supervisors, the port commission and any other public agency that he thought might benefit from his civic interest. He advocated for clean-needle exchanges to fight the spread of AIDS. He sued to stop developments over environmental issues, or to avert generous severance packages for corrupt officials.
He filed perhaps hundreds of California Public Records Act requests over the years and filed lawsuits when he believed public meetings were improperly held in secret. He ran unsuccessfully for City Council.
"When it came to civic affairs, he was interested in making sure the public had the benefit of the truth," said Cory Briggs, an attorney who litigated several high-profile cases with Trowbridge.
Briggs said Trowbridge's biggest victory came when he and others sued the Port of San Diego over plans to spruce up San Diego's waterfront North Embarcadero. Trowbridge wanted more public park space and forced port officials into accepting a 150-foot open space east of Harbor Drive between Broadway and Grape Street. He was not convinced the agreement would be honored.
"Today was a good day," Trowbridge told reporters in 2010, on the day the agreement was reached. "Tomorrow could be miserable."
