Perhaps so, but Indiana Jones is also in DHS, a park about movie magic. Steven Tyler has a face that would scare most children, but they let HIM into DHS.
Let me start off by saying that I'm a Disney Park purist at heart. I love the parks the way they are because that's the way, for the most part, I remember them when I was a kid, and that's the way I want my children to experience them. But I find myself on the fence with the announcement of an Avatar based land at AK. I imagine this is what the purists might have felt in the 80's with the announcement of Star Tours and the Lucas partnership. And just like Star Tours turned out great, I'm sure Disney's imagineers with make magic again with this new partnership.
Even though I consider myself a purist, I don't buy in to the opinion that Avatar isn't "Disney" enough, or as family friendly as the other films that attractions are based on. After all, let's think about how "Disney" Indiana Jones really is. In the opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark Alfred Molina is decapitated and then later on in the film the German's face melts off. In the Temple of Doom the leader of an occult puts his hand through someone's chest and rips out their still beating heart!! Avatar seems tame don't you think?? This is where we must rely on the magic of the imagineers to WOW us again and they rarely ever let us down.

Exactly, so why are people in an uproar about this. Maybe DHS would better suite Avatar, but I can see the tie in to the environmentally friendly AK.

I would be all for including it as an attraction (not a land) at DHS. But as I've stated elsewhere on the forums, this seems like a far better fit for Universal Studios than a 100% random addition to a Disney theme park.
I'm sure the same thing was said about Star Tours!

supernova, I understand it's strictly your opinion. I guess what I'm interested in is what you're using to substantiate it in your mind.
For me, when considering one of the major themes of the movie, as well as the overall environment of Pandora, the only park that would make any sense at all would be AK.
They could do another simulator, or indoor dark ride/coaster, at DHS. But why waste such a beautiful outdoor environment on an indoor ride?
I don't have any argument of it not being Disney enough or not being in the right place... I question that 5 years from now when it's built anyone will care enough. I just don't think it's a popular enough movie. But I mean, animal kingdom is supposed to have some mythical animals and I think the land makes enough sense there (the whole movie's topic of conservation, etc fits with ak). I know I'm not the only one who doesn't think the idea is great though, since when it was announced on the Disney blog they got more comments than any other post and the majority of comments were negative. When the Harry Potter stuff was announced for Universal there was mostly just a ton of excitement, with lots of it from people who wouldn't have otherwise gone to Universal. Everyone I knew was talking about it, and no one seems to have heard of this avatar thing outside of Disney fans.
I guess my point is that are a few reasons why this announcement isn't so popular. If it's done well enough I'll probably enjoy it, and I have no problem with the topic or where it is, I just hope it's not a big waste of money and that it attracts the people to the park they're hoping for.
View my Flickr Account:
And and as far as Animal Kingdom having mythical creatures, it WAS to have mythical creatures. But that idea got scrapped. Which is why I'm all for keeping that park in the here-and-now real world, not the land of unicorns and dragons. We were one dragon-removal on sign out front from the public even having a clue that there was ever to be a Beastly Kingdom.
I think Disney is beginning to pass me by. I have no interest in Avatar. I didn't see the movie and I am shocked this non-Disney entity may have a presence in one of their parks.
This news saddens me.
The trouble with quotes on the Internet is one never knows if they are genuine. Abraham Lincoln
I'm now having a hard time wrapping my head around a movie that grossed nearly $3bil at the box office wasn't popular.
I will agree that I don't know that it holds up well down the road, mostly because I thought it was mediocre unless you turned the sound off.
Conversely, what does it matter? If the land is done as well as Disney is capable of, 20 years from now you'll have a whole new generation that won't even know it came from a movie, nor will they care.
The timing of the predicted opening in 2016 makes a lot of sense considering the next two movies are slated for release in December 2014 and December 2015. So a spring 2016 opening is prime after the conclusion of the trilogy. I totally agree that in twenty years no one will question whether it belongs or not and it will feel 100% Disney.
I'm sure that in 1987, people were freaking out about Star Tours being in Tomorrowland in Disneyland. They were probably wondering why it wasn't in Universal in Hollywood!

Maybe I should just be glad Disney didn't pursue a "Twilightland". That was popular, too.
The trouble with quotes on the Internet is one never knows if they are genuine. Abraham Lincoln
I can understand where are the skepticism is coming from. No, the movie did not have the best story line, and yes the worldwide gross was probably inflated due to the higher cost of 3D tickets. But, why would either of those matter for a land in a park designed completely around environmental detail and preservation? The environment of Pandora is probably the most intriguing of anything real or fantasy. Just the simple thought of being able to experience those surroundings makes my jaw drop in awe.
I trust that the Imagineers and James Cameron will pull out all the stops to ensure that the world from the film is presented to the guests in the best way possible. And as long as that is the case, Pandora will be popular when it opens, and for many years down the road.

Lindsay Lohan had to cut short her spur of the moment international trip to hype her new film for a previously scheduled appointment: a date with a judge in L.A.
Last Thursday, the same day Lohan was due to appear before Judge Marsha Revel for a probation violation hearing, the troubled startlet took off for the Cannes Film Festival to promote her forthcoming Linda Lovelace biopic, "Inferno." According to statements made by Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, to the judge, Lohan's passport was reportedly stolen while she was abroad, complicating her return to the U.S. Revel then issued a warrant for Lohan's arrest which was later recalled after bail of $100,000 was posted.
Lohan arrived at Los Angeles International Airport shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday evening, according to Access Hollywood and made her way out of the airport on the departure level to avoid the assembled paparazzi and press. She is now set to appear before Judge Revel on Monday morning.

Houston coach Gary Kubiak would've told anyone who asked that the Texans were going to be fine with rookie T.J. Yates playing quarterback.
He was right.
Yates threw a touchdown pass in his first NFL start, Arian Foster rushed for 111 yards and Houston overcame another injury to Andre Johnson to beat Atlanta 17-10 on Sunday.
The Texans (9-3) have won a franchise-record six straight games, a remarkable feat considering they're down to their third-string quarterback and have played many of their games without their star receiver.

Brandon Eddy-2013
"Communication is something many of us take for granted, but I was well aware of the psycho-social effects that it can have on a person. Having a good ability to relate to people is vital when working with someone on communication."
Exercise Science Major
First Steps
I actually sort of fell into my major after coming in thinking I would pursue Biology, I found that after taking General Chemistry I & II, I no longer was interested in Biology as a major. I found that because I had completed General Biology I & II and General Chemistry I & II, that I actually had been prepared for several of my prerequisites for an Exercise Science major. Following the integrative physiology track, I was able to still focus on a broad variety of sciences while developing my understanding in motor learning, which is a significant topic in speech-language pathology.
Multiple tests in a week are difficult for many students, but I always found that my friends in my classes were often my best resource for studying and support. Whenever I needed extra help, the faculty was always willing to give their time however they could. Additionally, upper-classmen were often a great resource to utilize when I did not understand a concept since often, at least one senior would be conducting research on that topic. Switching majors can be a difficult and scary task, but the faculty members in the Exercise Science department are extremely friendly and truly care about the students so they helped me find my way comfortably into the major.
Choices and Challenges
Growing up I had a challenging misplacement of my /s/'s and transformed the sound into a /th/. Communication is something many of us take for granted, but I was well aware of the psycho-social effects that it can have on a person. Often I found myself avoiding conversation or hesitant to give a speech because I was afraid to be the target of laughter from other students in my high school. I became class-president of my graduating class and one of the requirements was to give a graduation speech. I knew that in order to avoid being the target of large-scale humiliation or pity I needed to fix my problem. I began attending speech therapy with a private practice clinician named Jason in Longview, WA. After only two short sessions with him I was able to accurately produce my /s/. I ended up giving a graduation speech to a crowd of over 800 students, friends, and family members and never misplaced my /s/'s during the speech. Afterwards a friend told me how proud of me she was that I overcame my speech problem and accomplished this. I cannot thank Jason enough for his work and how much influence he has had on my life and it is because of him that I choose to be a speech-language pathologist.
Finding a Pathway
Having a good ability to relate to people is vital when working with someone on communication. I believe I make people feel welcomed by offering a friendly and positive attitude which is absolutely necessary. Additionally, having a liberal-arts education really provides me with a broad understanding of a variety of topics, all of which allows me to talk to my patients about something they are interested in. Additionally, I understand what it means to be the patient, and at least somewhat understand the frustrations they may be experiencing; because of this I am able to relate to patients and help avoid those frustrations. Finally, I truly enjoy working in a team. Speech-language pathologists are known to work closely in a medical team with physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, audiologists, and even nurses and physicians. In this field the ability to work as a team to bring a patient back to full health is absolutely vital, and my many experiences leading clubs and organization, volunteer experience as a baseball coach, and work experience in Orientation has helped to develop this necessary skill.
Success and Highlights
Being an Exercise Science major is something I truly value and that will really help me in my career. As a graduate student, my, background in Exercise Science will provide me with a unique perspective both in the classroom and as a researcher. My experience with motor learning will set me ahead in working with patients in rehabilitation, as well as habilitation of newborns who may have a variety of diseases affecting speech and swallowing. Additionally, I have taken many of the basic pre-requisite classes that many physical therapists and occupational therapists will have taken, so this helps me relate better to the medical team that I will work most with.
I would encourage students to truly get an education outside of the classroom. So many of my most valuable experiences did not happen with a professor lecturing behind a podium, but rather when I was volunteering or working. As a coach I have learned how to work with children regardless of their mood, and as an Orientation Coordinator I have learned the value of teamwork. From my many clubs and leadership positions I have learned to be an advocate for the change that I want to see, and with legislation often changing for the profession it is vital to be an advocate for the change you want to see. My advice? Volunteer, get involved, ask questions, be an advocate for the change that you want to see, and from all of these experiences you will become an amazing professional not only in SLP, but as someone who truly makes a difference in the lives of patients and fellow practitioners.

text: There has not been a particular resurgence in Australian horror recently, but the Cairnes brothers, the directors of this fun and hackneyed film seem to be aware of this. Initial tropes and tense moments including the increasing suspicion in the van and the unlikeable and selfish protagonists take on a very delightful twist. The quickly established dysfunctions of couple Sophie and James and brothers Reg and Lindsay are used as a springboard to break through convention and introduce a complexity that severs most horror tropes evident in the film.

DANVERS — Families of special needs children may be able to find answers about services available in the area at a free Danvers Special Education Parent Advisory Committee resource fair tomorrow night at Holten Richmond Middle School.
Featuring representatives from organizations that include Special Olympics, Windrush Farm, Danvers Recreation, the Federation of Children With Special Needs, the DanversCares prevention coalition, Northeast Arc, Challenger Sports and the Beverly YMCA, the fair kicks off at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the multipurpose room on the second floor of the school at 55 Conant St.
Featuring 18 organizations, the resource fair will also have vendors who might appeal to general education parents, such as estate planning attorney Kathryn Lyon of the firm Stern, Keilty & Wall and college financial planner Rich Biagiotti of Personal Financial Management Plus.
Danvers Special Education Parent Advisory Committee Co-Chairwoman Deb Zorzonello said the first fair was held two years ago and was the idea of former Co-Chairman Alan Vervaeke. This year, with Keri Smith Holian as the group's co-chairwoman, the event has expanded. Zorzonello said the fair is a good way for a parents of special needs children to find answers in one place.
The fair is open to parents in Danvers and in other districts on the North Shore, Zorzonello said.

NorthPoint Digital is proud to be a Supporting Sponsor at the upcoming NYC Camp being held at New York University's Kimmel Center from Friday, July 12th to Monday, July 15th. NYC Camp is a sprint-centric mini-con focused on accelerated learning and ensuring attendees can contribute to Drupal.
NYC Camp looks to bring together some of the most active minds in Drupal to help developers move past the plateau many of them encounter and overcome the learning curve to get from an intermediate level to an advanced level. As a long-time Drupal advocate, NorthPoint has developed numerous Drupal sites and mobile applications, some scaling to over 2 million page views per hour as well as sites with over 500,000 pieces of content. Our goal is to help organizations optimize their digital and mobile presence through a perfect blend of strategy, experience, and technology.
Matt Dorman, Senior Manager, will present a session on "Designing (and Theming) for Performance." Many somehow forget the simple equation that: great design + fast loading pages + great content = more traffic. The presentation goes through tips and techniques you can adopt in your current process to get both performance and great design in future projects.
In Koo Kim, Senior Manager, will present a session on "Scrap the Big Launch, Fly a Kite: How to Create and Maintain Control of Smarter Mobile Apps with Real-Time UI Updates, A/B Testing, and Personalization." The presentation will discuss how to create smarter mobile apps that respond to users behaviors, adapt to app successes and failures, and upturn the prevailing process.
Matt Dorman, Senior Manager, Andree Engelhardt, Business Development Manager, In Koo Kim, Senior Manager, Ellie Roepkin, Senior Consultant, Eric Sod, Consultant, Aditi Vora, Marketing Coordinator, and Shruti Shah, Head of Marketing will be representing NorthPoint Digital at the event.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Detecting Suspect Traffic
With the release of the much-awaited Linux 2.4.0 kernel early this year, GNU/Linux received a major boost toward entering the realm of enterprise-class operating systems. Several areas of the kernel have been improved since the 2.2.x series, not the least of which is the firewall code. Netfilter in the 2.4.x kernel series replaces the old ipchains firewall code in the 2.2.x series and incorporates many features that are required in an enterprise-class firewall, such as statefullness, DoS protection/rate limiting, network address translation (NAT), MAC address filtering and, last but not least, TCP packet filtering and logging based on arbitrary combinations of TCP flags. By contrast, ipchains (in addition to not being stateful, etc.) have the lamentable limitation of being able to distinguish between only two types of TCP packets: those that set and those that do not set the SYN flag. Netfilter's ability to distinguish arbitrary TCP flag combinations allows advanced port scans, such as those that are easily leveraged against a machine via nmap, to be detected. First we need a bit of background on nmap so that we can illustrate both how advanced port scans work and how to detect them.
nmap is the world's best-known port scanner and incorporates many advanced port scanning techniques that can be used to detect open ports on a target machine and/or network. In addition, nmap incorporates operating system fingerprinting and TCP sequence number prediction (among other things) to give better reconnaissance information than can be gleaned by determining which ports are open on a target machine. Three particularly interesting types of TCP scanning modes that nmap supports are FIN, NULL and XMAS scans. In normal TCP traffic, a FIN packet (or packet that has the FIN flag set) can be sent by either end of a TCP connection indicating that the session is finished or, more precisely, that there is no more data to be sent. A FIN scan works on the principle that an orphaned FIN packet (i.e., one that is not already part of an existing TCP session) sent to an open TCP port should not be acknowledged. If such a packet is sent to a closed port, however, a normal unfiltered TCP stack is supposed to respond with an RST packet. Hence, to scan a host with FIN packets, nmap simply sends a single FIN packet to each of the target ports and waits for RST packets to trickle back. Ports that do not respond with an RST are open (or filtered by a firewall). Both the NULL and XMAS scans function similarly, but instead of setting only the FIN flag, the XMAS scan also sets the URG and PSH flags, whereas the NULL scan utilizes TCP packets that have no flag set whatsoever.
The basic principle in setting up a secure firewall is to have a default deny stance in which all traffic not explicitly allowed by the firewall is denied or rejected. In addition, the firewall should be configured to log any unauthorized packets to a log file for analysis by the system administrator or by automated logfile watchers such as psad.
For more information on getting iptables to run on your system, I highly recommend Rusty Russell's "Netfilter HOWTO", available at netfilter.samba.org.
# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot source destination ACCEPT all anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT TCP anywhere anywhere TCP dpt:ssh flags:FIN, SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG/SYN ACCEPT TCP anywhere anywhere TCP dpt:www flags:FIN, SYN,RST,PSH,ACK,URG/SYN LOG TCP anywhere anywhere LOG level warning prefix `DENY ' DROP TCP anywhere anywhere
Does such an iptables policy stops port scans? First, any TCP packet (regardless of TCP flags) sent to a destination port other than 80 or 22 will be logged by rule number four and then dropped by rule number five. This takes care of any noisy scans of any type against any of the 65535 TCP ports other than 80 and 20. What about scans that test whether 80 and 22 are open? The answer is that it depends upon the type of scan. Rules three and four accept packets that have the SYN flag set and all other flags cleared, so any scan that makes use of just SYN packets will succeed. Also, any scans that make use of normal TCP connect() system calls, as a normal web browser or SSH client would use, will succeed since rule number one allows three-way TCP handshakes to complete.
nmap supports both of these scanning techniques with the -sS (half-open or SYN scan) and -sT (TCP connect() scan) command-line switches. Any other scanning technique that is not based on legitimate TCP traffic to these ports will be blocked and logged. Such scans include the FIN, XMAS and NULL scans mentioned in the nmap section, as well as SYN/FIN and ACK scans.
Now that we are reasonably confident that our iptables firewall will block port scans, we should not become complacent with our success. It is not enough just to block scans; we should also do our level best to detect them, as a port scan could be a precursor to a more advanced attack.

COOPERSTOWN — The Cooperstown village street department trucked in 14 loads of snow early Friday morning to prepare for today's Ice Sculpture Contest, scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The contest is part of the Cooperstown Winter Carnival.
Fred Marr, who supervises the village street department, sent his men down to the village sewer plant at 7 a.m. Friday to collect truckloads of snow to dump on Main Street so sculptors will have enough to work with for the contest.
Most plans for the event remained intact Friday despite the lack of snow. Any changes or cancellation will be announced during the weekend, using a public address system in a van. In some cases event changes will be noted with signs and posters.

Hopes that Oneonta might become the site of a railroad museum were riding high last Monday when three city men pointed their automobile north on Route 7, and headed for Bellow Falls, Vermont.
Some 24 hours later those hopes, though still alive, had been reduced to a mere flicker.
Mayor Albert S. Nader, Vernon Seeley, chairman of the city's railroad museum committee and Gordon Roberts, insurance executive and president of the Oneonta Chamber of Commerce made up the trio of city men who journeyed to Bellows Falls and the lair of one F. Nelson Blount.
Mr. Blount, a millionaire several times over, has a huge collection of steam locomotives and other railroad rolling stock gathered into one unit which he calls "Steamtown, USA."
He sparked Oneonta's interest in a railroad museum several months ago when he announced that he would move his entire layout from Vermont to another location and that he was seeking bids from interested communities.
The Oneontans spent five hours or so with Mr. Blount. No decision was arrived at — nothing really came from the meeting. The Oneonta contingent, weary and disappointed, started for home.
The Oneonta presentation was given only casual treatment.
Blount said he probably would not make any final decision until late spring or early summer — meanwhile he's off to Brazil to pursue private interests.Step Back in Time features news items from The Daily Star 25 and 50 years ago.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – April 14, 2007 – Springfield College head men's gymnastics coach Stephen Posner received the 2007 College Gymnastics Association Honor Award at the association's annual awards banquet at Penn State University this past weekend.
The Honor Award is given annually to a member-Coach of 25 years or more. Posner has just completed his 25th year of coaching at Springfield College. The Award reads: "In recognition of his service in coaching and developing gymnastics for 25 years or more. He has gained the respect of his associates in the gymnastics world by his inspiring example and accomplishments." The recipient is selected each year by the Honor Coach Award Committee by secret ballot. The chairman presents this, the most prestigious of all CGA Awards, at the annual banquet meeting.
Steve Posner is considered one of the most outstanding collegiate gymnastics coaches in the East. In 2006, his team enjoyed another successful season by placing second at the New England Invitational Championships, and sixth at the ECAC/EIGL Championships. This past season, under Posner's direction, Springfield College won the New England's, and again finished sixth at the ECAC/EIGL's.
Posner has coached 123 All-Americans and 17 National Champions. His most recent All-American, freshman Keith Stumpf (Williamsville, N.Y.), finished fourth in the vault at the 2007 USAG's at the College of William & Mary in late March.
Posner led the Pride to three straight USAG team crowns from 1991 to 1993. He was selected both the USAG and National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches (NACGC) Division II-III Coach of the Year in 1992 and 1993, and earned NCAA Eastern Regional Coach of the Year honors in 2002.
Steve served as the gymnastics chair for the World Maccabiah Games in Israel in 1997. He was also selected to coach the U.S. Maccabiah Team for 2001. He was chairman of the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Committee from 1991 to 1994, and is the current President of that committee. He is also currently a member of the NCAA Gymnastics Rules Committee

Family and friends are gathering Wednesday and Thursday to remember a Palm Coast mother who was shot and killed while working at a gas station.
Zuheily Rosado was working the evening shift at the Mobil Mart on East State Route 100 last Thursday when a man walked in and shot her.
Police are still searching for the gunman.
Meanwhile, the community is coming together to support her six children.
Martha Ortega used to work with Rosado at the Latino Market for years. She set up a memorial for her friend in the place where they joked and laughed.
"We all were like family," Ortega said. "It wasn't, 'She was my coworker.' It was like she was my sister."
IMAGES: Gas station surveillance photos
Surveillance video from last week's killing shows a man cover his face, walk into Rosado's store, draw his gun, fire, then run out.
Ortega remembers when she heard what happened.
"I just, I was very emotional, very emotional because I know she has kids of all ages," Ortega said. "And I can imagine -- how that news was for me -- how that news was for those little kids."
She said the memorial she set up is for them. She hopes the pictures of Rosado surrounded by family will inspire people to help the six children she left behind.
It's been about three years since Rosado last worked here at the Latino Market, but she left a lasting impression on the people she greeted there every day.
Latino Market Owner Alberto Domenich worked with Rosado, too, and says ever since her death, people have been asking how they could help.
"Everybody coming worried about the family, what happened for the baby, for the others, where they go, what they eat," Domenich said. "This is the big thing over here, and everybody want to do something."
So Domenich partnered with Ortega, who helped the family open an account for donations. And he also offered to cater Rosado's funeral free of charge.
"I decide to do that because that's the only way I can help the people," he said. "I don't have money for support, but I can give them dinner, you know?"
It's not just Latino Market stepping in. People have left hundreds of dollars in donations at the gas station where Rosado was killed. And 40 families have signed up to prepare and deliver home-cooked meals to the family.
It's about giving the family more than financial support, but emotional support, too.
Ortega went with Rosado's oldest daughter to the gas station where her mother was killed.
"It was like she was trying to grab her mother," Ortega said. "She hugged the floor. She kissed the floor. And she just wailed in tears, 'I want my mom back. I want my mom back.'"

---- — Despite focus this week on the candidates' tax returns and Rep. John Tierney's ongoing family woes, neither issue arose yesterday as Democrat Tierney, Republican Richard Tisei and Libertarian Daniel Fishman met in debate for the first time during this 6th Congressional District race.
That's not to say there wasn't drama in the packed gymnasium at North Shore Community College in Lynn.
Fishman, seated between Tierney and Tisei, was often caught in the middle as the bitter rivals exchanged fierce jabs, perpetuating what has been one of the ugliest campaigns in the country this year.
At one point, holding up a recent negative mailing that claimed Tisei would end Medicare, the Wakefield Republican vowed support for the program and said Tierney "should be ashamed for stooping to this level."
Tierney quickly retorted, "Are you not ashamed?" referring to mailings and television ads funded by the Young Guns, a Republican super PAC, that have questioned Tierney's integrity and even his manhood.
Moderator Bruce Mohl, editor of Commonwealth Magazine, asked the crowd at the onset to remain silent, which lasted a brief time before temptation prevailed and vigorous applause and jeers became commonplace.
Sticking with themes their campaigns have hammered throughout the year, Tierney repeatedly tried to tie Tisei to right-wing Republican ideology, while Tisei stressed his independence and bipartisanship and criticized Tierney's record of voting with Democratic leaders "99 percent of the time."
"I'll stand on my own two feet" in Washington, Tisei said, noting that he voted with Republican Gov. Mitt Romney only about half the time as a state senator.
"It's pretty strange that you took $3 million and still say you stand on your own two feet," Tierney said, referring again to ad buys from the Republican super PAC. "When you take $3 million from them ... I'm pretty sure you're in their debt."
"John Tierney took $600,000 from every PAC in Washington, D.C. That's who's funding his campaign," Tisei fired back.
When Tierney claimed that, as state Senate minority leader, Tisei voted with Republicans 100 percent of the time, Tisei's response drew laughs when he pointed out that, "I was party leader, so I voted with myself 100 percent of the time."
The debate, sponsored by Mass Inc.'s Commonwealth Magazine, was focused on the American dream and touched on a range of issues, including Medicare, education, taxes, health care, jobs, the economy, immigration and more.
The greatest threat to the American dream is "the increasing disparity of wealth and income," said Tierney, who favors letting the Bush-era tax cuts expire for incomes above $250,000.
Tisei said raising taxes on anyone in this economy is unwise, and he would instead focus on building the economy, noting that there are 23 million unemployed and underemployed Americans.
"The problem is there are no jobs being created that can support middle-class families," he said, later adding that "small businesses need the confidence to expand and grow."
Tisei criticized a 2.3 percent excise tax on medical devices — an important industry in the state and the North Shore — which, he said, has led to local hiring freezes and layoffs and which Tierney voted for as part of the Affordable Care Act.
"(Senate candidate) Elizabeth Warren says it's a terrible tax. (U.S. Reps.) Niki Tsongas and William Keating are against it. But our own congressman is steadfast in his support of that tax," Tisei said. "Repealing it is the first thing I'll do in Congress."
Tierney countered that the Massachusetts delegation worked to cut the tax in half, and that medical device manufacturers agreed to the tax as part of the Affordable Care Act and the expectation of dramatic sales increases as a consequence of more insured people.
"Saying that medical device companies wanted this tax is ludicrous," Tisei said.
"They got 30 million new customers as a result," Tierney fired back, adding that a Republican plan to eliminate the tax would result in 350,000 Americans going uninsured.
Asked about the looming sequestration and massive budget cuts that could occur in January as a result of last year's debt ceiling compromise, both candidates again blamed congressional discord and argued they would be best suited to strike a deal to avoid harmful impacts.
"As a member of the majority, I'll be in a better position to help," Tisei said, pointing out there are currently no Massachusetts Republicans in the U.S. House. "It is important to have someone in the room from Massachusetts when the decisions are made."
Tierney said sequestration "is a great examination of what happens when one party in congress is ideologically extreme," and pointed out that Republicans overruled their own speaker's compromise deal with President Barack Obama.
"In his first vote, his most important vote, Mr. Tisei will vote for that group, Paul Ryan and the Ryan budget, and the extreme ideologues in the party (to lead the House)," Tierney said.
On Medicare, Tierney hammered Tisei, saying he supports a voucher program that would force seniors to pay thousands out of pocket and that he would vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Tisei countered that Medicare would be bankrupt by 2024 if no changes are made, and any proposed changes would not affect people 55 and over.
"Only one person on this stage voted to cut Medicare, and that was John Tierney," Tisei said, referring to a claim that the Affordable Care Act cut $716 billion from the program in the form of reimbursement rates to hospitals, nursing homes and doctors.
"That is the biggest lie of the century," Tierney said.
With all the mudslinging, little-known third-party candidate Fishman may have appealed to some voters yesterday. Far from outmatched, Fishman was well-spoken and thoughtfully made the case for putting a self-described "common man" in Congress.
"I believe Congress can work together, but before that can happen, it needs to again be a government of the people for the people and by the people," said Fishman, a software architect.
"I am an average guy running for office," he continued later. "We need a voice that is not Republican, not Democrat, but for the people, and that voice needs to be heard now. Common sense requires common people."

Culver City, CA | Tijuana, MX
See all...Viewing 3 out of 7 projects
As an architecture practice that is based in Los Angeles and Tijuana, our production is influenced by the hybridization of cultures that is a result of the trans-border urban dynamics that dominate the region.
Tijuana is a city that has never had a master-plan and in which most of the housing has been self built shantytowns on informal settlements. Contrasting with San Diego, where there is an excess of master-planned communities that define its sprawl.
Trying to have a real influence on the way in which the city is developed, and not wanting to wait for commissioned projects, we decided to become developers, involving ourselves in processes in which architects usually don't have any control over, we are involved in buying land, doing master-plans, design, construction and promoting of the projects we realize.
Our work has been focused on creating communities, in a city that has seen waves of violence destroy the sense of community AND CHALLENGING THE PRECONCIEVED IDEAS OF THE POWER OF ARCHITECTURE TO CHANGE A CITY..
