Comments about End Table Pet Crate by Dynamic Accents:
This is a well made product and was shipped here in very quickly. We were VERY disappointed, however, to find that when we opened the package we found that we did not receive the instructions or screws to put it together. There was no way we could put it together. When we called to rectify this with Brookstone we were told that this product actually came from another company and that we would have to wait for that company to contact us to find out how or when we MIGHT receive the missing items. So now here we sit with pieces of this product strewn about and very sad that we cannot use it yet. After spending almost $350.00 we were very disappointed with this item, especially when we realized that it isn't even coming from Brookstone.

Daniel Radcliffe says while it's a bit too early in the project to figure out what sort of read he's going to give Igor opposite James McAvoy's Victor Frankenstein in 20th Century Fox's Frankenstein, he already has his eye on the possibilities the role presents.
"We haven't even started rehearsals yet, but in terms of Igor, I think we're going to see a character who is given a lot more depth than we've seen him allowed in any other incarnations of the story," Radcliffe recently said in a phone call with FEARnet from the Toronto International Film Festival.
While the former Harry Potter star can't share any intricate details of Chronicle scribe Max Landis's screenplay just yet, he implied that it's going to be a Frankenstein tale like none other.
"It's a wild script. It constantly surprises you and it's great, great fun as well," Radcliffe enthused. "The relationship between Igor and Victor is one of two young men at the absolute forefront of the technology of their day. Plus it's a story about them pushing each other further, eventually having to make decisions about their relationship and their morality. I'm really excited about it and very excited to be working with James McAvoy as well."
Until he digs into Frankenstein, Radcliffe says given his choice of imitating Bela Lugosi from Son of Frankenstein (as Ygor) or Marty Feldman from Young Frankenstein in the iconic lab assistant role, the actor thinks he'd have better luck with the latter.
"I don't know, I think I can channel a little bit of Marty," said with a laugh.
Directed by Paul McGuigan (Lucky Number Slevin, BBC's Sherlock), Frankenstein will also star Downton Abbey actress Jessica Brown Findlay in an unspecified role, Variety reports.
Before Radcliffe sets the (operating) table for Frankenstein, you can catch him the October true-life crime drama Kill Your Darlings, where plays a young version of famed beat poet Allen Ginsberg. After that the British actor, 24, has the horror thriller Horns, based on the novel by Joe Hill, where he stars as a man who mysteriously starts sprouting devilish horns from his head. That film is expected be picked up for distribution and released sometime next year following its TIFF screening.
Fox's Frankenstein is slated to open in theaters Oct. 17, 2014.

New Apple Products, Including Magic Mice and Desktop Multi-touch Tomorrow?
According to Daring Fireball, Apple is set to introduce new products tomorrow morning, including:
Redesigned Plastic MacBooks, Redesigned ('Impressive') iMacs, Updated Minis (Including One That Ships With Mac OS X Server), the Multi-Touch Magic Mouse, and, as the Wildcard I'm-Not-Sure-I-Really-Believe-It-Myself Out-There Rumor, Maybe Even Some Sort of Mentioned-Nowhere-Else-But-in-This-Very-Headline Multi-Touch Trackpad Gadget for Desktop Macs
Last year, Apple held a special event, Spotlight Turns to Notebooks, to debut their last before-the-holidays offerings. Would they just dump so much new, and frankly interesting, products tomorrow morning without benefit of stage or keynote? Sure, but we'd be lying if we said we wouldn't prefer the song and dance to go with them.
TiPb will cover whatever does get released, however it gets released, mainly as it pertains to anything that looks to have cross-over with iPhone technology like the "multi-touch trackpad" (why not just make an official Apple Mac trackpad app for the iPhone and iPod touch?)
Keep your eyes peeled for the Apple Online Store going down...
There are 12 comments. Add yours.
Nice. Ive been waiting
I wonder if I can send my piece of crap mighty mouse in and get an upgraded one haha
Hope there is a new mouse, hate the current mighty mouse. (lol i still use it though)
A desktop trackpad is five years overdue (even without multitouch).
What about a MacBook air that's thinner than the adamo?
And their light peak thing? Otherwise they can't make the MacBook pros any thinner without dropping the Ethernet port
@soco_jon, I'm right with you, that bluetooth white crap mouse sucks bad.
How about a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones? It seems no one can make a pair that works 100% with the iPhone.
I like the Sony Ericcson IS800 for form factor, but I guess those have 0 functionality with the iPhone (including adjusting the volume). Come on Apple, make a good pair of BT headphones for us.
Calm down guys. Daring Fireball was responding to a post by Fake Steve Jobs. It's a joke answering a joke.
Been looking to get a mac or MacBook. Hope this isn't a joke!
Apple Store appears to currently be down...
Looks like the infamous "We'll be back soon" page is up on the apple store. Can't wait to see what awaits...

|India tour of Sri Lanka, 2008
COLOMBO , 2014/01/27 02:01:27Sri Lanka's cricket authorities withdrew a squad of foreign cheerleaders from Wednesday's second one-day cricket match against India after protests over the scantily-clad women. Cultural Minister Yapa Abeywardena said he had asked organisers to drop the squad of 24 eastern European women, despite their part in rousing the home team to an easy victory over India in the first match on Monday.
DAMBULLA, Sri Lanka (Reuters) - India opening batsman Virender Sehwag has been ruled out of the one-day series against Sri Lanka after injuring his ankle in training. India's leading batsman in the test series, Sehwag twisted his ankle in training on Sunday and missed the opener of the five-match series a day later, a contest India lost by eight wickets.
DAMBULLA, Sri Lanka , 2014/01/27 02:01:27Mahela Jayawardene cracked a responsible half-century to guide Sri Lanka to a crushing eight-wicket victory over India in the first one-day international here on Monday. The Sri Lankan skipper scored an unbeaten 61 for his 47th half-century to help his team achieve a modest 147-run target with more than 15 overs to spare for a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
DAMBULLA, Sri Lanka, Aug 16, 2008 , 2014/01/27 02:01:27India open a five-match one-day series against Sri Lanka here on Monday hoping to erase unhappy memories of their last encounter. Sri Lanka dashed India's hopes of winning a major title in the sub-continent in their previous one-day international, winning the Asia Cup final by a comfortable 100-run margin in Karachi last month.
COLOMBO , 2014/01/27 02:01:27Yuvraj Singh geared up for the one-day series against Sri Lanka with an explosive 172 to power India to a comfortable 92-run victory in a practice match here on Friday. The left-hander smashed 13 sixes and eight fours in his 121-ball knock as the tourists posted a challenging 342-5 before restricting a Sri Lankan XI to 250-6 in a 50-over clash.
Colombo, 2008/08/14 07:56:00Sri Lanka included four openers in the 15-man squad for the ODIs against India which start on August 18. Left handed Malinda Warnapura, who scored one hundred and two fifties in five test innings was rewarded with a call-up.
COLOMBO , 2014/01/27 02:01:27India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said Wednesday his batsmen needed to be positive against Sri Lanka's latest spin sensation Ajantha Mendis in the upcoming one-day series. "He (Mendis) is a bit different and the batsmen need some time to settle in.
REUTERS - India batsman Sachin Tendulkar has dropped to his lowest ranking since 1992 in the International Cricket Council's test standings for batsmen after a disappointing series against Sri Lanka. Tendulkar, who started the series in 13th position, slipped to 23rd after scoring 95 runs at an average of 15.83.
COLOMBO , 2014/01/27 02:01:27India, reflecting on their Test series loss to Sri Lanka, have reason to believe they were beaten not so much by their hosts as by unorthodox spinner Ajantha Mendis, who remained an unfathomable mystery. The 23-year-old army officer badly bruised India's batting pride during his team's 2-1 victory in the series that ended here on Monday, capturing 26 wickets.
COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene said a true team performance was the key to Sri Lanka's 2-1 series win over India. Sri Lanka won the third and deciding test by eight wickets on Monday after bowling out India for 268 on the fourth day and then knocking off the 122-run target with ease.

This captivating full day tour allows you to experience for yourself the historic locations and stunning scenery of the places where it is believed Jesus lived, preached and performed his miracles. Boarding your coach at the pier, you'll enjoy a picturesque drive from Haifa to the top of Mount Carmel. From this advantageous view point, you'll be treated to spectacular panoramic views of Haifa and its glistening bay. After your photo stop, it's on to Nazareth - the place where Jesus spent his early years.
Upon arrival in this fascinating town filled with rich historical significance, you'll have the opportunity to explore the amazing Basilica of the Annunciation, one of Christendom's most revered shrines and the largest church in the Middle East. The Basilica is built on the same sight where the Archangel Gabriel revealed to Mary that she would be the mother of the Messiah. Amongst the mesmerizing sites you'll see here is the altar, which incorporates a portion of the grotto where Mary had lived. A remarkable 170-foot- high cupola that rises high above the upper church adds to the Basilica's grandeur and allows the interior to be illuminated with natural light. You will also find a significant collection of magnificent mosaics, ceramic reliefs and other marvelous works of art from around the world adorning the vast interior.
Your next stop is the Church of Joseph, which is built over the chambers that once housed Joseph's carpentry shop. Inside this lovely church you will find wonderful stained glass windows adorning the church's outer walls. From here, it's a walk through the colorful bazaar and onward past Mary's Well, a white stone fountain that serves as a shrine commemorating the Virgin Mary. The shrine is located at the site of an ancient underground spring where it is believed Jesus and his mother came to draw water.
Re-boarding your coach, you'll travel through Cana, the place where Jesus performed his first miracle of turning water into wine. Then it's on to Tabgha, where he later multiplied the loaves and fishes. Soaking in the atmosphere of this site, you can almost imagine yourself amongst the crowd on the Mount of Beatitudes where he preached the famous Sermon on the Mount. Traveling on, your coach will bring you to Capernaum. Located on the beautiful shores of the Sea of Galilee, this is considered the center of Jesus' ministry while he was living in this area. During your visit here, you'll see the ruins of an ancient synagogue where a lovely mosaic floor was recently discovered.
Following a busy morning, you'll enjoy a leisurely buffet lunch at a local hotel before heading off along the panoramic seashore to the Yardenit baptismal sight where the River Jordan separates from the Sea of Galilee. In this naturally scenic and symbolic setting, pilgrims from around the world come to perform baptismal ceremonies. On your relaxing ride back to the pier in Haifa, you'll view Mount Tabor, the traditional site of the Transfiguration where Jesus appeared to his disciples in radiant light while speaking with Moses and Elijah.
Please note: The sights on this tour are not wheelchair accessible and therefore, it is not available to wheelchair guests.

Insights and Outbursts
Eileen Ford
---- — For many years, my Christmas present to myself has been an end-of-year retreat at the Eastern Point Retreat House in Gloucester.
It began in the 1980s, when I lived in Boston and traveled by train for a retreat which at that time ended on Jan. 1. It now begins on Dec. 27 and ends on Dec. 30, providing a time and space to gather together in silence with others to celebrate the Christmas season and experience the hope of a new year.
The first time I ever stayed at a retreat house was in 1974, when two friends and I traveled from New York to the Middletown, Connecticut Cenacle. A talkative person, it took a few days to appreciate the value of silence and by that time, the retreat was over.
But I returned several times after that to talk with Cenacle Sisters, curious about what I sensed was something special in that place.
The peace I found there puzzled me. I lived alone and could pray anytime; why did I need a retreat house?
I finally realized that, at home, the silence was filled with thoughts of things I should or could be doing, like cleaning my apartment or watching TV. A retreat is a time to leave my everyday routine, in order to listen and appreciate God's constant presence in my life.
Instead of Christmas presents or New Year's resolutions, I pray with gratitude for the gifts of family, friends and the joy I find in outdoor activities — walking along the shore or through the woods at Halibut Point or Ravenswood Park, and participating in downhill skiing Elderhostel (aka Road Scholar) ski programs. I also thank God for the less-than-joyful times when I become aware of how much I take for granted.
For almost 20 years, I've participated in two or three weeks of Elderhostel ski programs in New England and Canada but recently, I rediscovered the joy of skiing locally at Bradford, only 30 miles away. The senior rate for morning skiing (8:30 a.m. to 1p.m.) is $13 and for me, mornings are the best time for everything — whether it's making tracks in freshly groomed slopes or watching the sunrise from my kitchen window as I enjoy my first cup of tea each morning.
The weather was as perfect as the snow conditions on one recent Monday — temperature in the 30s, no wind and only a handful of skiers on the slopes when I arrived. It was like having my own private ski area, with friendly lift operators outside and a family atmosphere inside the lodge.
Riding up the chairlift, I felt invigorated by the fresh air and as I headed down the slope, appreciated the lack of effort shaped skis provide; all you have to do is think about a turn and the skis seem to know exactly what to do.
After an accident and hip replacement in 2009, I didn't ski again until 2011 and, since my skis were over 10 years old by then, rented skis on Elderhostel programs rather than buying new ones, so I could ski on newer models each year. When I decided to ski at Bradford this year, I rented skis and poles for the entire season from the Sportstop in Wenham. where I purchased new ski boots last year. And just last week, I returned from a great week at Mt. Snow in Vermont with ski buddies I've known and loved for 20 years.
On Tuesday morning, we left the chair at the summit and were awed by the sight of the top of Mt. Monadnock poking through the cloud cover. A few minutes later, skiing down freshly groomed trails, I was convinced that heaven for skiers will be like that, with effortless tracking and magnificent views.
It was back to earth on Wednesday and Thursday with rain, high winds and ice and some of us opted for playing cards or shooting pool at The Mountaineer Inn. By the time I left on Friday, I had skied only two days, but learned several card games and a few trick shots at the pool table.
Life is good – on and off the slopes.

That was the only thing on the mind of Philadelphia forward J.H. Smith while lining for a penalty kick with four minutes left and his team tied with Forest 2-2. Smith, who had connected on a penalty kick earlier in the second half to tie the game stood a mere 12 yards away from winning the game and advancing to the Class 1A/2A/3A North State championship.
"My only thought was make this next goal," Smith said. "The last one was definitely more pressure than the first one, but I shot the same shot and just said to myself do the same thing you did last time."
Just as before, Smith found the back of the net, allowing Philly to beat Forest 3-2 and secure a date with South Pontotoc on Tuesday with a trip to Clinton for the state championship on the line.
"That was an unbelievable game," Philadelphia coach Adam Huddleston said. "I don't know if I have seen anything like that this season. The effort after the 15 minute mark, we just poured everything into it. I am so proud of my boys today, so proud."
Forest struck first in the game's seventh minute when the Bearcats buried a penalty kick in the back of the net to go up 1-0.
From there, both teams would generate opportunities. Philly almost connected on a set-piece opportunity midway through the first half, when Abe Mars broke free in the box but was unable to convert.
The Tornadoes received their first goal on another set-piece opportunity in the 27th minute mark for midfield, as Smith lifted the ball into the box, finding forward T.J. Hudson for the equalizer.
The celebration would not last long for the Tornadoes, as Forest responded six minutes later with its second goal when a mixup in the box allowed the Bearcats to knock in an easy shot. Forest headed into the break with a 2-1 lead.
The Bearcats shut down Philly until 16 minutes into the second half,when Mars slipped past the defense for a break away into the box. Mars was unable to finish the play though, as his shot ricocheted off the right post and back into play.
However, Philly was dealt another break instantaneously. In the process of trying to clear the ball, the Bearcats committed a penalty in the box, allowing Smith to step up for the first of two big penalty conversions on the afternoon.
"Normally in games like this it's going to come down to penalty kicks either way," Huddleston said. "Everybody knew both teams were going to be prepared for this game. This has always been a big rivalry for both schools."
After Smith put the Tornadoes up 3-2 in the games final minutes, Forest stormed back for one last opportunity.
The Bearcats almost pulled the equalizer in stoppage time, when Philadelphia keeper Malek Moore slipped while in the box, leaving the left corner of the goal exposed. Forest was unable to convert, however, as its shot sailed wide left of the goal, securing the win for the Tornadoes.
"Please clear the ball, was the thought going through my head," Huddleston said. "That's all I could think of, get the ball out or get it out of bounds."
Philly will now host South Pontotoc on Tuesday with only two wins separating the team from a state championship.
"It unbelievable," Smith said. "I never expected us to get this far. Last year we were so good, and playing in the summer we weren't as good. Now we have made it this far. We just got to keep playing and keep getting the objective done."

TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds, Atlanta Braves
ATLANTA (AP) -- The Braves jumped on Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto early Tuesday night and beat the Reds 6-2, giving the right-hander his first loss of the season. Brian McCann homered and the Braves scored four runs in the third inning. Cueto (4-1) led the major leagues with his 1.12 ERA before giving up six runs, five earned, on eight hits in four innings. He had allowed only one earned run over 23 innings in his last three starts. The first-place Braves moved one-half game ahead of the Nationals in the NL East. Atlanta got a strong outing from Tim Hudson (2-1). He threw six scoreless innings before giving up two runs in the seventh. He allowed nine hits and two runs in seven innings. Michael Bourn had three hits and scored two runs and Martin Prado also had three hits for the Braves. Kris Medlen gave up two hits in the eighth before ending the inning on pinch-hitter Ryan Ludwick's flyball to left field. Craig Kimbrel gave up two-out walks to Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips in the ninth before closing out the win on Jay Bruce's groundout. Cueto's ERA rose to 1.89, leaving Atlanta's Brandon Beachy (1.60) with the majors' best mark. McCann hit his sixth homer, his first since May 2, in the second inning. The Braves sent 11 batters to the plate while scoring four runs off Cueto in the third. Prado and Chipper Jones had run-scoring singles, Jason Heyward doubled in a run and Dan Uggla added a sacrifice fly in the long inning. The Reds committed two errors to help the Braves score an unearned run in the fourth. Bourn singled and moved to second on Cueto's wild pickoff attempt. A fielding error by Chris Heisey in left field on Prado's single allowed Bourn to score for a 6-0 lead. Ryan Hanigan's double drove in Todd Frazier for the Reds' first run in the seventh. Drew Stubbs' single drove in Hanigan. NOTES: 1B Eric Hinske started for Freddie Freeman, who was held out with a scratch on his right eye. Freeman hopes to return on Wednesday. ...

Plan Coverage and Benefits
Berklee's Student Health Insurance Plan is offered through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (bluecrossma.com) and is administered by Gallagher Koster (gallagherkoster.com), a leading provider of insurance services for institutions of higher learning in the U.S.
If you have signed up for the student insurance plan at any time during the fall 2013 – summer 2014 academic year, your insurance covers you from August 15, 2013 through August 14, 2014. This is true whether you are enrolled at Berklee, have since graduated, or left the college. This coverage also extends outside of the United States.
As a result of health care reform, Preventive Services have been further enhanced: Services that fall under the Preventive Health/Wellness Benefit are paid at 100% In-Network only with no cost-sharing (no co-payments or deductibles). Preventive Health/Wellness Benefits include, but are not limited to, routine physical exams, routine GYN exams, preventive screening and testing, immunizations and travel immunizations.
What Is Covered under the BCBS Student Blue Plan?
- The plan offers comprehensive benefits that include hospital room and board, inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures, labs and x-rays, chemotherapy and radiation, inpatient and outpatient mental health services, physician office visits, consultant visits, ambulance, emergency care, and prescription drugs.

- A pre-existing condition is covered as any other covered injury or sickness.
- Students have access to the BCBS nationwide network of preferred providers, pharmacy network, and other BCBS programs, such as the fitness benefit, reimbursement for designated weight loss programs, or "Living Healthy Naturally"—discounts on different types of complementary and alternative medicine services.
- The pharmacy benefit program includes retail chains as well as independent pharmacies through the Express Scripts Network. (Click on Prescription Drug Coverage from the links at the left for more information.)
- You can go to any provider; however, services provided by a participating network provider are generally covered at 100% of the preferred allowance, while services provided by an out-of-network provider are generally covered at 80% of the usual and customary charges. Benefit periods may vary (i.e., policy year vs. calendar year) per benefit. See the plan brochure for details. (Click on Finding a Preferred Provider from the links at the left for more information.)

FiOS: More Bang for the Buck
June 27, 2008 10:18 AM
Just got off the phone with my friend Bobby, who dumped Cablevision's triple play and signed up for Verizon's FiOS bundle of services: digital video, phone and high-speed Internet access.
Price was her driving motivator. Bobby was sick and tired of watching her bill go up from the initial one-year offer of $99 per month to $136. FiOS let her lock in a $109 monthly rate for two years.
Bobby got more than she had hoped for: far more channels than Cablevision had offered, plus free premium channels from Verizon for three months.
When she called Cablevision to cancel, she stopped them dead in their tracks when the customer service reps were going to offer her incentives to stay the course.
Which raises the question: How come cable companies aren't willing to wheel and deal until it's too late?
Bobby had made her decision and turned a deaf ear to what was probably a too-little-too-late pitch from Cablevision.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
McMillian gets big fine for hit on Giants' Bennett
Green Bay - Packers S Jerron McMillian said he did not intentionally try to hurt Giants TE Marcellus Bennett with a hit Sunday night and insisted it was not a cheap shot.
The NFL disagreed and apparently has fined him $21,500.
McMillian said he was fined "a lot." When asked if it was the same as the $21,500 his teammate, TE Ryan Taylor, had received for a block in the Arizona game, the rookie nodded affirmatively.
"I don't agree," McMillian said. "I highly disagree that it was a cheap shot. It was a football play. As he missed the ball, I was coming, so I can't stop. But the league is putting in all these rules in. You just have to keep playing. You can't let it get to you."
McMillian said he the official who threw the flag for unnecessary roughness did not indicate to him he had made a helmet-to-helmet hit on Bennett. He said he thought the flag came out late. It appears the league fined him for hitting a defensiveless player.
Bennett told reporters after the game that the hit angered him and he wanted a piece of McMillian.
"I just got the wind knocked out of me," he said. "It (ticked) me off, so I wanted to kick his (butt).
He added: "I was mad. I tried to go after him, but they wouldn't let me. ... I didn't see him; he came out of nowhere. But it's part of the game. If he gets fined, I just wish that money would go to my Wells Fargo account, which they should start doing. They do give it to charity, which is fine."
McMillian said he didn't appreciate the comments given he hadn't gone out of his way to hurt Bennett.
"I rather him come to me as a man and let me know instead of going through the media and saying what he said to hype it all up, I rather him come to me direct if it was a problem," McMillian said. "It wasn't a cheap shot. I was just playing football. I felt that's what I had to do in that situation.
"It wasn't to go out and hit him. That's not what I do."

Bennett got what he deserved!! absolutely no need to be trying to score a TD up 38-10!!! low class stuff.Hide replies
You do realize that is the coach's call right, and not the player? Would you have felt better had the Giants kicked a field goal for an equally meaningless 3 points? The Giants gave your defense a chance to stop them. It was not Tom Coughlin's job to stop his team.
Low class indeed, but I am referring to your comment.
A few years ago, Mac would not have been fined. A few years ahead, we may see "flag football".
The Pack collects some strange flags this year, it has been the only constant since Day 1...why was Mac fined the same amount as Allen in Minny, that hit put the guy on IR for cripes sakes, doesn't seem fair by a longshot...and Bennett is just yapping cuz after 4 years of underachieving in Dallas he got a fat check in NY, what a turd...
National Fine League
The hit on AR a few years ago in the AZ playoff game that was never called, casued a fumble, and posiibly cost GB the game would generate a $50,000 fine in todays NFL.Hide replies
Yep, nothing like getting dragged down by the facemask, in overtime, in the playoffs, with the season on the line, and nobody seems to see it.
Do we only hear about fines that are given out to the Packers or does the league truly arbitrarily focus on their hits?
To be perfectly honest, I was hoping Manning would get hurt in a freak injury and be lost for the season as the giants continued to pass and roll up the score. I am also glad that McMillian smacked the guy good.

CREW's Left-Wing Funders
CREW is funded by a long list of left-wing organizations and foundations.
George Soros' Open Society Institute gave $250,000 to CREW in 2008, which reported revenue of $3 million and a staff of 13 employees that year. Soros is a well-known funder of left-wing nonprofit groups. Other beneficiaries of Soros' money include: the Center for American Progress, Media Matters for America, America Coming Together, and MoveOn.org.
The Democracy Alliance made an early donation that helped breathe financial life into CREW. Members of this collaboration of liberal activists and labor unions, include George Soros, Peter Lewis, Rob Reiner, Norman Lear, and Drummond Pike (of the progressive Tides Foundation).
As one of CREW's largest donors, Democracy Alliance has an unmistakably partisan agenda. It was founded in 2005 by a collective of at least 80 millionaires and billionaires for the purpose of moving America to the left ideologically.
Democracy Alliance founder Rob Stein told a Democratic Party national convention panel in August 2008 that the Alliance "over the past 30 months has put about $110 million into 30 groups." Recipients of these grants read like a "Who's-Who" of liberal activists:
- The Center for American Progress;
- Media Matters for America;
- Young Democrats of America;
- Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN);
- Emily's List; and,
- the Air America talk radio network.
CREW executive director Melanie Sloan was a regular guest on Al Franken's Air America talk show.
Following the 2010 election, the Democracy Alliance held a conference at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, DC. One attendee told a Politico reporter who managed to get in, "The agreement is that everything that goes on here is confidential." In attendance were many Democratic donors and left-leaning activists. Also in attendance was CREW's Melanie Sloan. CREW was also reportedly one of the organizations represented at the conference. Sloan refused to comment on her participation.
In addition to Soros, Democracy Alliance members who fund CREW include Tim Gill (the Gill Foundation), Albert Dwoskin (the Dwoskin Family Foundation), Drummond Pike (the Tides Foundation), and Stephen Silberstein (the Stephen Silberstein Foundation).
The Tides Foundation has donated nearly $200,000 to CREW over the years. Tides was founded by philanthropist Drummond Pike and funds many leftist groups. Pike is also a member of the Democracy Alliance. According to its website, Tides sponsored 677 projects between 1996 and 2006, with combined revenues of $522.4 million.
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) gave $75,000 to CREW in 2006. SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger is also the vice-chair of the Democracy Alliance.
In 2008, CREW received nearly $1.8 million—more than half of its total revenue—from 14 foundations, all of them known for funding left-leaning political causes:
- PBL Fund ($396,354)
- Bohemian Foundation ($250,000)
- Open Society Institute ($250,000)
- Dyson Foundation ($200,000)
- Gill Foundation ($150,000)
- Marisla Foundation ($100,000)
- Leland Fikes Foundation ($100,000)
- Stephen M. Silberstein Foundation ($100,000)
- Arca Foundation ($75,000)
- Wallace Global Fund ($50,000)
- Baytree Fund ($35,000)
- Tides Foundation ($35,000)
- Lotus Foundation ($30,000)
- Dwoskin Family Foundation ($25,000)
CREW insists that its donors do not play a role in determining its agenda. But the organization has attacked politicians and organizations that are foes of its contributors.
Cuba: The Arca Foundation gives significant funding to groups advocating opening ties to Cuba and reducing travel restrictions to the communist nation. Since 2004, CREW (an Arca grantee) has filed four complaints with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging improper campaign contributions by the US-Cuba Democracy PAC, a political action committee that supports a tough stance against Fidel Castro's regime.
Gay rights: A major priority of the Gill Foundation is supporting organizations that advocate for LGBT rights. CREW, a Gill Foundation recipient, targeted former Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO), one of the chief political foes of the gay rights movement. Just three days before election day in 2004, CREW filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice claiming that Musgrave was illegally running her campaign out of her district office. The U.S. Department of Justice never officially acted on the complaint.
Not surprisingly, CREW has never criticized its own donors or their causes. Corruption charges have dogged American labor unions, for example, but CREW has never filed a single complaint against a union.
CREW demands that nonprofit groups disclose the sources of their funding, but it hasn't provided a complete list of its own donors.
Following the 2010 elections, CREW posted a blog entry on its website criticizing Karl Rove's fundraising group, American Crossroads, for refusing to release a list of its donors. CREW opined, "This is not a partisan issue—both left and right-leaning groups are reaping the benefits of non-disclosure under the 501(c)4 status and it's time this nonsense comes to an end." But CREW itself has reaped the benefits of non-disclosure under its own 501(c)3 status.
CREW has previously criticized other groups for not disclosing their donors. CREW went after public relations and research firm Berman and Company (a co-author of this report) for allegedly acting at the behest of its funders. And CREW filed a complaint with the IRS against the Center for Consumer Freedom, requesting that CCF disclose its donor list. According to the complaint, "We believe that a thorough investigation of the sources of [The Center for Consumer Freedom's] revenue will disclose the nearly exclusive funding by industry forces for whom CCF does their bidding." (The IRS's subsequent audit failed to find any substantive issues with CCF's tax-exempt status.)
CREW also pushed hard for Congress to pass the DISCLOSE Act, which would have required nonprofit organizations to disclose their donors if they engaged in political activity. Following the 2010 mid-term election, CREW's blog declared, "Yesterday voters were resoundingly disgusted with the barrage of television ads, mostly negative and extremely misleading, by shadowy outside groups."
At the same time, CREW has never released an itemized list of its donors. Melanie Sloan has admitted that certain groups, such as the Open Society Institute, fund CREW. Researchers have unearthed other CREW donors by cross-referencing tax filings and other documents from other left-leaning foundations and organizations. But much of CREW's funding remains undisclosed.
We have not gone after any particular union. I wouldn't say there's been an issue where I think a union has given money in some way that has been, that some member has changed their vote just because of a campaign contribution.
- Melanie Sloan, asked if CREW
has ever targeted a labor union on C-SPAN

PARKER COUNTY – Parker County Sheriff's Office officials say they expect to seek a charge of attempted murder in the early Wednesday morning stabbing of a 42-year-old woman at a home in Western Lake Estates.
Deputies believe the woman was stabbed several times with a knife by a suspect who fled the scene, the sheriff's office reported.
Authorities responded after receiving a call around 1:30 a.m. from a residence in the 100 block of Horseshoe Drive with witnesses reporting a stabbing, according the sheriff's office.
The woman was reportedly transported to a local hospital by personal vehicle and later transported by helicopter to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth.
Witnesses said the woman told the 27-year-old female suspect to leave the premises when an argument broke out.
They reported hearing the 42-year-old woman scream, seeing the suspect make "slashing motions" and watching the resident fall to the floor.
The woman was reported to be bleeding heavily from cuts to both forearms.
Investigators say an attempted murder warrant is pending for the suspect.
Details on the woman's condition were not immediately available from the hospital.
