Human Rights Watch: U.S. drone strike in Yemen failed to follow Obama's new rules; civilians in wedding party killed
Imagine this scenario: A drone attack from some foreign nation kills innocent U.S. civilians participating in a wedding procession in the United States.
Could you imagine the white-hot, 24/7 U.S. media coverage in the hours and even days after such a tragedy? It would be like the Boston Marathon bombing coverage all over again.
Well, a report by Human Rights Watch concludes a U.S. drone strike in Yemen this past December killed at least a dozen people in Yemen, violating President Obama's newly revised rules designed to protect civilians.
Furthermore, Human Rights Watch reports the aerial bombardment was aimed at a line of vehicles that were part of a wedding procession in Yemen. HRW asserts the evidence indicates "some, if not all, those killed and wounded were civilians."
Granted, the report concedes some members of al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula MIGHT have been among the victims. (For you Vietnam veterans: Like the Viet Cong hiding among civilians in a village.)
U.S. officials continue to insist only Islamist militants were killed.
But a Yemeni journalist and academic - whom I've known for about a quarter of a century - and who teaches media issues at a Swedish university, makes the point about the U.S. popular media, virtually ignoring the story. Sure, U.S. serious newspapers have articles. But what about broadcast coverage? I don't watch much cable news, but I can't imagine this would be a major talking point on one of the nighttime cable interview shows.
Walid al-Saqqaf, former executive editor of The TIMES of YEMEN, raised the contrast above: What if the shoe were on the other foot?
Audio Here
This is why I get very frustrated with U.S. conservatives and liberals arguing about media bias. Seems to me nearly everyone misses the larger point: That many international stories get scant attention in U.S. media, even international stories involving the use of U.S. military force and apparent civilian deaths.

I understand your frustration, Allan. I would guess that stuff like this probably happens every day but this is the rare occurrence that you actually heard about.

As I think all know by now, there is jokingly a 5th-floor at Langley where the C.I.A. runs the country, including running Obama. They do what they do, sort of an amped-up 24 series which played on Fox Network starring Kiefer Sutherland .... Most D.C. native accept this as a possibility; jockingly rumors abound in D.C. that they are not of this world. As you may guess, this is common joke material in D.C.; didn't know if it had yet reached Delaware...
It should be considered on the same level as UFO's. Maybe.. or maybe not.
But, on another note, having pointed out the very striking parallels on this blog with hard-fisted communist rulers and today's Republican Party, it should be as no surprise (yet it was), that Yanukovych in Ukraine was paying blogs of Red State and Breitbart to champion the cause of the hard-fisted Ukraine rulers... (Taking a lesson from Israel, no doubt)... One media outlet is confirming money changed hands to work sympathy for the hard-liners in those two blogs, which as we know, only appeal to the craziest of the crazies here in America....
But isn't it interesting that Republicans and ruthless Stalin communists have so much in Common?
I really don't have a read on Buzzfeed's credentials; they too could have been spoon fed this story, but as they say with lies, if they explain an unknown, they will probably be believed.... So I offer here, just so all out there are as informed as I...

Kavips: Interesting.
Here I always thought Commies were more left-leaning and Fascists were more right-leaning, but apparently the Commies are "broadening their horizons" and find some sort of commonality with the right in the U.S. So maybe USA Today did get the 2000 election map correct when it labeled the ultra-conservative areas RED.

Since Obama doesn't play by the rules; how can he expect anybody else to play by his? The hypocrisy of the left strikes again!

Let's be clear: The video below is not an April Fool's Day prank.
Last Thursday morning, at a House Armed Services Committee meeting, U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Decatur) was questioning Robert Willard, commander of the U.S. fleet in the Pacific, about the impact of more American troops on the tiny, tiny island of Guam.
Johnson went into tortuous detail about just how tiny Guam is.
And then he said this:
"My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."
Johnson's office said the boss is simply a tremendous deadpan — and that he was using a facetious metaphor. (More on that below) But the admiral didn't know that, and played it straight:
"We don't anticipate that. The Guam population, I think, currently about 175,000, and again, with 8,000 marines and their families, it's an addition of about 25,000 more into the population."
Either way, talk radio is having a field day with this today:
Just in case you still think you may be a victim of the day, the Johnson video comes from the video feed of the House Armed Services Committee web site. His questioning of the admiral begins at about the 1:31 mark.
Here's a formal response from Johnson, via his spokesman:
"I wasn't suggesting that the island of Guam would literally tip over," said Johnson. "I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their dependents – an additional 80,000 people during peak construction to the port on the tiny island with a population of 180,000 – could be a tipping point which would adversely affect the island's fragile ecosystem and over burden its already overstressed infrastructure.
"Having traveled to Guam last year, I saw firsthand how this beautiful – but vulnerable island – is already overburdened, and I was simply voicing my concerns that the addition of that many people could tip the delicate balance and do harm to Guam."
Next time, Johnson might want to smile when he says that.
Down on the coast, U.S. Rep. John Barrow continues to explain his vote against the Obama health care law. The Democrat had an op-ed in Wednesday's Savannah Morning News that included this paragraphs:
Here's what my vote came down to: I thought the legislation was going to cost working folks too much money in increased taxes, and I didn't think it was going to do enough to make the insurance companies change their stripes. It also threatens to overwhelm Medicaid in rural areas, because it's going to grow the number of patients on Medicaid at the very time that health care providers are dropping Medicaid patients.
I wholeheartedly support the goal of extending coverage to those who can't afford it, and growing Medicaid is a key feature of that goal. But over 100,000 people will be joining a system here in Georgia that's already at its limits. We have to fix Medicaid before we grow it, or we're going to break it. It won't break down everywhere, and it won't be obvious where it has broken down: When doctors no longer take Medicaid patients, the rest of us won't notice. Only the ones we thought we were helping will notice. They'll have a card, but it won't do them any good.
The Republican attempt to impeach Attorney General Thurbert Baker for his refusal to obey Gov. Sonny Perdue's directive to file a legal challenge to the new health care law hit cable TV on Wednesday.
State Rep. Mark Hatfield (R-Waycross), sponsor of the impeachment resolution, was on Fox News, of course:
Just as predictably, Baker was interviewed by Chris Matthews on MSNBC's "Hardball." There was this exchange:
Matthews: Why does the governor of your state think the civil rights bill was constitutional, using interstate commerce – or would he have said that? Or would he be doing the same thing back then if he were governor? I'm asking a tough question. Is he playing the same game that people played back then?
Baker: I can't attribute any motives to this governor. But let me say this: since 1937, this country has been very clear through our U.S. Supreme Court – that Congress has a very, very expansive commerce-clause power.
Here's the video:
There's been talk that the impeachment attempt will bolster Baker's Democratic campaign for governor. A bit of proof is this Wednesday statement from the Rev. Joe Lowery, the civil rights patriarch, in support of the attorney general:
" The nation needs strong leaders to call for calm and sensible reaction to controversial legislative and political action, as well as common sense in refusing to throw Georgia tax monies after risky causes, for history has shown futility of using 'states' rights' to defy federal law.
"We respectfully urge civic and religious leaders to speak out for calm — not merely politicians, particularly from those who lose with bitterness and rancor. I commend Attorney General Thurbert Baker for exercising courage in not throwing away tax money. Reckless rhetoric from whatever source can only lead to irresponsible behavior. We need statesmen who will honor and oversee the public trust toward the goodwill of our cities, states and country."
Senate Democratic Leader Robert Brown of Macon says his Republican colleagues are using threats to persuade Democrats to support a $169 million hospital bed tax.
"Democrats across the state were threatened today by Republican leadership — vote for the tax increase or we will kill funding for your local projects," Brown said in a statement released Wednesday evening.
Brown said GOP leadership targeted historically black colleges and university projects, naming the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center in Albany as one of the targets.
"Why do you need to shake down the Democrats when you hold the majority? Pass your own tax increase. Don't hide behind us," said Brown.
HB 307, the hospital bed tax, is on the Senate calendar for today. The minority leader thinks that the threats indicate a split in Republican ranks over the tax.

What the desperados at the state capitol have done is given Thurbert Baker all the earned media he needed to bump his numbers up in the polls. They are really gonna be sorry in November. What idiots! Shooting their own foot off because they are so bent on being right! Georgia consistently tries to be on the wrong side of history. They can't seem to grasp reality–voters may not want healthcare but they sure don't want their tax dollars wasted on crazy impeachment attempts. The more than 30 legislators that signed this impeachment legislation should have targets on their back. Where is our transportation, water and jobs legislation? Where is the strong ethics legislation? I know my vote will count heavily on their actions–not their rhetoric!

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what the usual left-leaning commentators have to say about Hank Johnson. For as much as they call Republicans idiots, none of them, George II included, could be as moronic as Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson.

Hank was momentarily in "la la " land. Poor guy. Maybe his illness is more serious that anyone imagined.
Clearly the man is exhibiting signs of mental instability.
What a gift to Jones.
An Island capsizing?
"we don't anticipate that happening" No Sh#t.

Incredible. How dumb can Hank Johnson be? His constituents shun run, not walk, to vote this guy out of office.
On the impeachment front: of course this is politics. Should Baker be acting against this Federal overstep? Sure, he should. Are Republicans giving him what he needs to make King Roy spend some of his campaign war chest before November? Absolutely.
On the hospital tax front, here's an idea. Don't vote for the tax AND kill the spending for the special projects (both for Republicans and Democrats). Taxpayers are gagging on all of this pork.

Johnson was better than McKinney, but his time to go is now.
After his racist explaination of why Joe Wilson shouting "You lie" was racist, I am done with him. I will vote for whoever has the best chance of unseating him in the primary. I just hope that's not Vernon Jones because it looks like his administration will be costing DeKalb millions in descrimination settlements.

At the risk of stating the obvious, isn't it likely that Rep. Johnson was using a "metaphor," defined thusly in dictionary.com:
/ˈmɛtəˌfɔr, -fər/
a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in "A mighty fortress is our God."
I suspect Johnson was suggesting that the island's resources would be overtaxed with the additional personnel. Right or wrong, it's a bit silly to suggest that any pol — right or left — who uses a metaphor is a dope.
April 1st, 2010
9:41 am
Don't look now but Johnson's career just capsized – I wouldn't let him bag my dang groceries, and now that racist Vernon Jones has a good shot at the seat. When will we have strong representation in Dekalb county? At least Cynthia McKinney is gone.

You might find this interesting from the military. The military does think GW is an issue with islands.
….U.S. intelligence officials are drafting a national intelligence assessment that will list those countries thought to be most vulnerable to sea-level rises and political instability resulting from global warming, said Michele Brunngraber, an intelligence official in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The assessment, which is expected to be finished by late spring or early summer, will take a more detailed, geographic look at the national security implications of global warming than a report released in May 2007 by a panel of retired U.S. three- and four-star generals and admirals, Brunngraber said April 9 during a panel discussion at the National Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colo. National intelligence assessments tend to be less quantitative than the better known national intelligence estimates, she said after her talk.
It is not just low-lying, developing countries that need to be thinking about the possible physical implications of rising sea levels, said former Army official Ray Clark, who as an assistant Army secretary from 1999 through 2001 was responsible for caring for the Army's 2,000 installations around the world.
"If we don't find some ways to mitigate [the effects of global warming] … this next round of base closures is going to be really a terror," Clark said.
For instance, suppose U.S. officials decide to consolidate facilities at Guam, he said. "Do we have a clue as to how many years we have until rising sea water affects that?" Clark said.
Clark said the next U.S. presidential administration should create a new secretary of environment and energy to get those agencies working together to curb global warming instead of at cross purposes. But he said military officials will need to adapt to warming because its effects are coming faster than efforts to curb warming…..

What do these people want? Do they want health care for all, or do they want to tie everyone and their tax dollars up in litigation for the rest of the centry. Get over it, if you didn't want healthcare reform, you lost, let's go on to something else more meaningful, like more jobs.

Dekalb will have decent representation in Congress when its citizens stop voting for people simply based on skin color.

Doug, your response was a bit condescending, don't you think? I'm quite confident the readers of this site understand what a metaphor is and, more importantly, when the technique is or is not being used.
But I'll play along with your game:
id·i·ot /ˈɪdiət/ Show Spelled[id-ee-uht]
1.an utterly foolish or senseless person.
2.Psychology. a person of the lowest order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25.
Used in a sentence: Hank Johnson and Doug are both idiots.
April 1st, 2010

I heard this on the radio, and perhaps thought that he was exaggerating or using a metaphor for overpopulating Guam… but as I see the video, the Rep actually leans his body to emphasize his concern for the island actually tipping.
Then, Notice the Admiral hold his laughter and the lady smiling at the his remarks..
Did he not go over his questions with aids? Maybe the aids are too scared to say, "sir, islands do not tip over"

Actaully Hank is correct, 25,000 more people to a place like Guam is like having a boat over capacity. How would you like 25,000 more people in your community? Shall I say – our schools are already over crowded, traffic is a mess and they can't stop cutting down trees to build more houses. I feel sorry for the people of Guam, God please have mercy on them.

Anyone who says he was using a metaphor is being intellectually dishonest, or they're just plain stupid. Watch the video…the man literally pantomimes a boat capsizing (w/ his hand). He's not being deep, or trying to speak on the taxing of the islands resources, or social services. This guy had LOST IT. Be it from his illness, the medications he's taking, or whatever, this is embarassing…and he should be recalled and removed from office, before he starts ranting about some other nonsense. Yet another shining example of what voting based on 'he look like me' gets you.
April 1st, 2010
10:33 am
How dumb is Hank Johnson, doesn't he realize the military can solve that problem by distributing it's forces evenly around the island instead of just in one spot? That way it won't tip over!

Listen, all you idiots. Johnson was just being facetious. Maybe the joke fell flat, but he knows the island is not going to tip over. Lighten up!
And Chris Matthews, of course Perdue would have fought civil rights legislation as unconstitutional back then just like every other southern politician did. This fight over healthcare is reminiscent of that time.

I watched the video and Representative Johnson did not appear to be making a joke or using a metaphor. If he was then he is the most deadpan comedian I have ever seen and is in the wrong line of work. He could make more money as an entertainer than as a member of congress. I think one of the most helpful things we could do is to amend the Constitution to add term limits for congressmen and senators. How about 3 terms (6 years total) for congressmen and 2 terms (12 years total) for senators. And include a provision that would prohibit a person who has served in either house of Congress from running for the other house. Let's eliminate the "permanent" congress person.
April 1st, 2010
10:46 am
Sorry but I just looked at the tape. He did not appear to be deadpanning and he nor speaking metaphorically. If that was his intent, which I doubt, he did a very poor job of it. So I am left with he is either worst case a fool or best case he made himself look like a fool. Intensely embarrassing to those he represents either way.
The good admiral didn't do himself any image favors either by remaining in the congressional rear kissing mode. He should have asked the congressman a clarifying question then politely set him straight.
April 1st, 2010

"What do these people want? Do they want health care for all, or do they want to tie everyone and their tax dollars up in litigation for the rest of the centry. Get over it, if you didn't want healthcare reform, you lost, let's go on to something else more meaningful, like more jobs."
Maybe, just maybe, if the Dem's would have lead with action on the people's top priority (the economy) instead of health care changes few wanted and most despise (read the polls) they wouldn't have ticked off half of the population to the brink of open tax rebellion. Fixing the economy runs counter the Dem agenda, so I guess we won't ever see any real action on that. Creating government jobs will NOT fix the economy. Cutting taxes and government spending and incentivizing private investment in America will. A vote for the Baker's and Johnson's and Barnes' of the world is a vote for more decay.

Is there not 1 intelligent person capable of running against Hank Johnson in the 4th district? There must be something in the water in Dekalb when you keep electing the likes of Cynthia McKinney, then Hank Johnson, and unfortunately maybe that knucklehead racist Vernon Jones…..

Maybe with all the lobbyist, Georgia Power lobbyist, Altanta gas and Light Lobbyist, BCBS lobbyist, and the inflated weight of the General Assemblies egos, and the weight of worthless paperwork on stupid bills will cause the Gold Dome to plunge in the ground.

Yeah, and Sheila Jackson Lee asked if the mars rover took pictures of the U.S. Flag that Armstrong planted in 1969.
Candidate Barack Obama said he would US the UN Security Council to reprimand Russia for their invasion of Georgia. Well, you would think a constitutional law Professor would know Russia can veto anything in the Security Council.
NOW, reading HJ's apologists makes me think of what George W. Bush once said; Democrats practice the soft bigotry of low expectations… enough said!

Houston knows about plastic surgery! They invented the breast implant here in silicone city! Think of all the highly accepted things women do to look better. Botox, boob jobs, chemical peels and lipo!
Well guess what, now men are doing it too!
Now before you say how stupid, consider the times! Statistically, good looking people get the breaks and are more successful. And, with not many available jobs it's important for middle aged guys to look good in our youth obsessed culture so that when they interview, they don't look old. Besides, today guys just want to look better by cutting back on the booze, eating better and exercising more.
Male plastic surgeries in the U.S. make up 13% of all plastic surgeries in the U.S. which is up 5% in the last year and a half!
Male facelifts are up, as is lipo and eyelid surgery.
I don't know about a full on facelift, but I did have a photo facial to get rid of some sun damage. Looking as good as I can make me feel better about myself!
And look, if a little tuck or eyelift helps your self esteem and possibly help you get hired, who cares what people think.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Abalonetti Bar & Grill Restaurant Review: Ever take a date to a favorite seafood spot only to discover they're not a seafood fan? Fear not if you're sitting at Abalonetti. Though this wharf-side bar and grill offers good fish and seafood (hence the heavy traffic from locals and tourists), there's also chicken, steak, pizza and a mile-high meatloaf for the truly dogged landlubber. The place is also kid-friendly with a Squid Kids menu. The dish Abalonetti really nails, though, is squid. Monterey Bay squid is cleaned in-house --- a labor of love that results in flavorful dishes with fine texture. The signature calamari filet "Abalonetti" is fork-tender with just enough breading. We also recommend the smoky barbecued squid and the spicy buffalo squid. Sicilian bread salad takes panzanella to a new level, adding cucumbers, artichokes, feta and onion to the tangy mix. The hands-down winner from the dessert tray is "coppa," a tiramisu-like concoction with mascarpone, chocolate and a little grappa for a kick. No wonder this Fisherman's Wharf institution has stayed around for more than 60 years.

click image to zoomWireImageCat Deeley arrives at the ELLE's 2nd Annual Women In Television Celebratory Dinner at Soho House on January 24, 2013 in West Hollywood, California. (Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImage) Ombre hair, where color transitions from dark on top to light at the bottom, is reversing itself as the temperatures warm up, says Marc Harris, owner of Marc Harris Salons in Boston. More women will begin switching up their hair color to an ombre style that's light on top fading to dark at the bottom. This look is softer and more transitional. It provides a tonal harmony as opposed to the past ombre trend where the transition of color was stronger and there was a bolder color contrast.
According to Harris, reverse ombre hair complements the soft hues predicted for summer 2013 fashion and for those who like to experiment with beauty, he expects we'll see this trend in unique palettes like pink/dusty rose, purple/pearl, blue/slate and orange/melon. For everyday hair, this looks best on women who use a natural palette for their hair's color transition [such as: espresso to deep amber (brunettes), butter to vanilla (blondes) and auburn to copper tones (redheads)].
Here are Harris' Do's and Don'ts when it comes to reverse ombre:
click image to zoomWireImageActress Amanda Bynes attends the TAO and LAVO anniversary weekend held at TAO in the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/WireImage) Do
Use soft transitional toning.
For Blondes use a palette for such as butter/vanilla.
For natural brunettes use a natural palette such as deep amber/espresso.
For redheads use a natural palette of sunburn/copper.
Use unique trend palettes such as pink/dusty rose, purple/pearl, blue/slate orange/melon if you like to experiment with color.
Pick a shade that's 3 to 4 shades darker than the natural hair.
Begin with the tips/ends of hair and leave the color on there the longest.
Use stark contrasting palettes.
Use colors that work in contrast to the natural skin tone.
Don't think eye popping; think natural.
Ignore the condition and quality of the client's hair.

While others are scaring themselves silly this weekend, perhaps you'd like to have a good, old-fashioned laugh. I can recommend the perfect show for you to escape the ghosts and goblins of Halloween, not to mention the scary world of 2009 (with unemployment and financial distress). Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman's 1936 Pulitzer Prize winner, You Can't Take It With You, is an old-school screwball comedy with 19 people in the cast, every one of them playing a character with some kind of eccentricity.
I know it's Christmas and not Easter, but don't let that stop you from seeing Jesus Christ Superstar at The Carnegie Center in Covington. It's a faithful reproduction of Andrew Lloyd Webber's first big hit (back in 1971), a Rock opera that retells the story of the last days of Christ, leading up to his crucifixion.
This production features energetic choreography and some solid individual performances, especially Roderick Justice as Judas. He's played the role before, when he was a student at Northern Kentucky University (he was nominated for a 2004 CEA for the role), and he's part of a cast that includes several others who were in that NKU staging, directed by theater program chair Ken Jones.
Each week in Stage Door, Rick Pender offers theater tips for the weekend, often with a few pieces of theater news.
The Whipping Man is drawing big audiences for Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati. In fact, they've added several performances extending the closing date from Feb. 12 to Feb. 18. It's the story of Simon, a dedicated former slave who remains in a ruined mansion in 1865 Richmond in the days just after the Civil War. Caleb, the wounded son of his former master, stumbles in (desperately needing some horrendous surgery) and then does John, another former slave, a young man raised side by side with Caleb. The slave-owning family was Jewish, and it's almost time for Passover, which they must celebrate with limited means. It's a powerful show about freedom and responsibility with a plot that will keep you guessing. As I noted recently in this week's Curtain Call column, director D. Lynn Meyers gets the most from her cast, especially Ken Early as Simon. This one is a must-see. Box office: 513-421-3555
But Know Artistic Director Jason Bruffy isn't being timid with the edgy company's 12th season, even though the plan is for five rather than six shows. (The cancellation of Mr. Marmalade means that 2008-09 offered five productions.) The shows Bruffy has selected are in keeping with Know's mission to bring fresh, provocative works to its theater at 1120 Jackson St. in Over-the-Rhine.
If I were you, I'd to my best to catch a performance of Titanic:
The Musical before it closes on Saturday at the Aronoff
Center's Jarson-Kaplan Theater. The show puts you in the midst of
dozens of characters as they board the ship, overflowing with great
expectations — of success, of escaping poverty, of new life in
America, of achieving dreams. You get to know them, and then you see
the tragedy that comes their way after the tragic collision with an
iceberg in April 1912. Maury Yeston's score is all about choral
singing, and Cincinnati Music Theatre, one of our most ambitious
community theaters, makes it work with an impressive physical
production and great voices. Full review: here. Tickets: 513-621-2787.
I'm pleased to tell you that Cincinnati Shakespeare Company has done a fine job with its production of The Merchant of Venice, one of Shakespeare's most difficult plays. It's officially categorized as a comedy because it has humorous and romantic elements. But the central story about a potentially fatal argument between a moneylender and a businessman is anything but amusing. CSC's artistic director Brian Isaac Phillips takes on the role of the rapacious moneylender who has faced anti-Semitic discrimination for his entire life. Is Shylock a villain or a victim? Shakespeare gives him aspects of each, and CSC's production, directed by Jeremy Dubin does not tilt in either direction. It's up to you to decide, and that's how this show works best. Full review: here. Box office: 513-381-2273, x1.
Life Could Be A Dream, Roger Bean's sequel to The Marvelous Wonderettes and a show ful of teen hits from the '50s and '60s, concludes its successful run at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati this weekend. This time it's boys, and that's most of the difference. As in the two Wonderette shows, Dream is shot through with adolescent angst, this time around a local radio station contest that could "make them famous." Audiences seem to have loved this excuse for two dozen tunes from the era, and ETC is keeping its cast busy to the very end, adding an extra finale on Sunday evening at 6 p.m. Box office: 513-421-3555.
This is also the final weekend for you to get down with the Blues in the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park's production of Thunder Knocking on the Door. The show, a hit for the Playhouse in 1999 has been thoroughly and creatively reimagined. The musical — with emotional tunes mostly by Keb' Mo' — tells the story of the power of love, music and Blues guitar players. It's presented with panache, including technology and design that are all about 2012. Through Sunday. Full review: here. Box office: 513-421-3888.

The best theatrical entertainment onstage this weekend is
The Foreigner, presented by the Commonwealth Theatre Company at Northern
Kentucky University. I saw it a week ago (review here) and it's a winner — a
very funny play with a marvelously inventive performance by Roderick
Justice in the title role. He plays a painfully shy man who tries to
avoid social contact by posing as someone who doesn't speak English,
even though he's quite literate. The concept doesn't quite work out as
planned when his "cover" means that people have all kinds of revealing
conversations around him. The plot is hilarious, but it's Justice's
performance that makes it run like clockwork. It's part of a dinner
theater package — dinner at 6:30 most nights, show at 8:00 p.m. Tickets:
There's not a lot of theater right now, but if you're looking for great onstage entertainment right now, the World Choir Games have plenty to offer.

Know Theatre of Cincinnati has called Jackson Street in Over-the-Rhine home for several years, but it's been easy to miss them, tucked away behind the Gateway Garage on a short block between Central Parkway and 12th Street. That's being remedied right now with the construction of a marquee that should be highly visible from both north and south of the theater, especially from busy Central Parkway.
The American Theatre Critics Association (ATCA) today announced six finalists for its Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award recognizing playwrights for the best scripts that premiered professionally outside of New York City during 2010. Among the finalists is The History of Invulnerability by David Bar Katz, a script that premiered in April 2010 at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.

Many millennials can't afford basics
Yet another survey explores what many young people already know: Money is tight and prospects are gloomy.
Nearly a quarter of millennials -- people between ages 18 and 34 -- are unable to make ends meet, a new online survey says. It's no wonder. The generation faces lackluster job prospects and mounds of student loan debt.
The millennials are worse off than any other age group, says the survey by WSL/Strategic Retail. Only 17% of those between 35 and 54 said they can't afford basics, and the percentage dropped to 13% for older folks.
The survey is one of a number of recent reports that indicate tough times for many young people.
A survey conducted in December by the Pew Research Center (.pdf file) provided other data about the 18-to-34 group:
- 49% have taken a job they don't want just to pay the bills.
- 24% have taken an unpaid job. You need to put something on the résumé
- 35% have gone back to school because of the economy.
- 24% had their own place but then moved back to their parents' home.
Living with Mom and/or Dad is so common it seems almost normal. Says another Pew
Among adults ages 25 to 34, 61% say they have friends or family members who have moved back in with their parents over the past few years because of economic conditions. Furthermore, three in 10 parents of adult children (29%) report that a child of theirs has moved back in with them in the past few years because of the economy.
Employment, even for those young people with a college degree, has been downright gloomy. In February, the Pew Research Center said:
… since 2010, the share of young adults ages 18 to 24 currently employed (54%) has been its lowest since the government began collecting these data in 1948. And the gap in employment between the young and all working-age adults -- roughly 15 percentage points -- is the widest in recorded history. In addition, young adults employed full time have experienced a greater drop in weekly earnings (down 6%) than any other age group over the past five years.
(Post continues below.)
And that's not all:
- Another analysis found that nearly 54% of those under 25 with a bachelor's degree were unemployed or underemployed last year, The Associated Press said.
- A survey last year (.pdf file) of people who graduated from college between 2006 and 2010 found that only 53% had full-time jobs and 21% were continuing their education. The rest were underemployed or unemployed.
- "Back in 1984, households headed by Americans 65 and older used to have 10 times the wealth of those 35 and under; by 2009, according to Pew Research, that spread had multiplied to 47 times," Reuters says.
The economy has improved somewhat in the last year, and job prospects are looking up for the new crop of grads. U.S. News & World Report says:
Companies say they will hire 10.2% more grads from this year's class of graduates compared to the previous year, and they'll also pay them more. The median starting salary for 2012 graduates will be $42,569, up 4.5% from 2011.
Let's hope that takes place. Meanwhile, there is a bright spot in the WSL/Strategic Retail report:
A shortage of cash is turning many millennials into top-notch frugal shoppers.
- 80% said it's important to get the lowest price on most things they buy, compared with 69% two years ago.
- 60% said they'd pick a lower-priced item instead of their usual brand.
The Star of Toronto adds:
Only 50% of shoppers ages 35-54 said they would shop off-brand to save money. Only 42% of shoppers ages 55 and up said they are willing to choose a lower-priced brand.
Times were tough when I graduated from college in 1975. I spent a year in VISTA, then went back to school for a master's degree. Sound familiar?
My advice? As the song said back in my college days, "Keep your head to the sky," whether it's faith in yourself or a higher power. Work hard, keep a close eye on your spending, and avoid debt as you would the walking dead.
Are you a new or recent graduate? What do you think about your prospects? What steps have you taken to make ends meet?
More on MSN Money:
What, exactly, do the millennials consider basics and essentials? If you don't have kids and live and spend carefully, you can make it on minimum wage. It's not fun, but it can be done. You can get 25 pounds of potatoes for five dollars and eat for a month. It's boring and not extremely nutritious, but the Irish did it for hundreds of years and they are still around. Drinking water is free or close to it if it comes out of the tap. Rent a studio apartment. Use public transportation, etc. Yeah, minimum wage may mean 'underemployment' but it also means employment - and I'd rather hire someone who's been working for minimum wage than someone who moved back home rather than get a job that was considered not good enough.
Also, what are their degrees in? Obviously not the areas needed in this country. We are headed towards desperate deficits in engineering and medicine (general practitioners) and are bringing thousands of people from other countries to work here because American kids want to major in something 'fun' not something that there's a need for.
My background for these comments is that I am retired from two career's...and receiving benefits from both. Since my wife died, I have applied for three jobs, I was hired by all three. The first I hated and left during the probationary period, I took an intermediate job to keep busy, and I still do part time with them while working a full time job.

Lansing-area Wendy's restaurants have raised more than $134,000 for the Sparrow Children's Center.
This year, the restaurants' annual fundraising campaign leading up to the Sparrow Children's Center Telethon raised more than $13,000 to support our youngest Patients and their families. The "Give a Dollar, Get a Dollar" campaign collected donations from customers in exchange for a coupon for their next visit.
"The main reason we got involved is that it's the right thing to do to take care of the children," said Randy Israel, one of the partners who owns the area restaurants. "My customers and my employees all have children who are served by Sparrow."
Giving back to the community is one of Wendy's important values, said Israel. There is also a room in the Children's Center sponsored by Wendy's and named Wendy's Way.
The donation from Wendy's was given during the Sparrow Children's Center Telethon, which was held May 31 and June 1 on WILX. The Telethon raised $980,996 for Sparrow Children's Center, and donations are still being accepted by visiting www.sparrowfoundation.org.
For more than a century, Sparrow has been a leader in caring for children. The first hospital in mid-Michigan to offer a dedicated children's unit, Sparrow today is home to the region's only full-service pediatric emergency department. As the region's Children's Miracle Network Hospital, Sparrow is able to provide the most advanced technology and treatment options in pediatric and neonatal care.

Recently, the Texas commissioner of agriculture reacted with outrage to the fact that employees of the United States Department of Agriculture would dare suggest, in an internal newsletter on "greening" the Washington headquarters, that co-workers might consider practicing "Meatless Mondays" to reduce the environmental impact of their diet. "Last I checked," blogged Commissioner Todd Staples, "USDA had a very specific duty to promote and champion American agriculture. Imagine Ford or Chevy discouraging the purchase of their pickup trucks. Anyone else see the absurdity? How about the betrayal?"
Staples went on to call the suggestion to forgo meat once in a while "treasonous." L'état, c'est boeuf. But there's a bigger question: Is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's purpose, indeed, simply to promote the consumption of American commodities in the same way Ford tries to sell F-150s? Or is it instead to help agriculture work for the American public at large?
Staples's response to Meatless Mondays captures a pervasive way of thinking in the world of modern American agriculture. Some of the soft spots in Staples's argument are immediately obvious. For one thing, agriculture includes fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy, too. "We're not saying 'don't eat,'" counters Bob Martin, a food policy expert at Johns Hopkins and an adviser to the Meatless Mondays campaign. "So we're not anti-agriculture."
As a branch of the United States government, the USDA was created in the mid-1800s to collect and distribute the best farming knowledge. Farmers were, as President Abraham Lincoln phrased it, "the most numerous class" in a young, largely agrarian nation. But the 16th president saw that it was a class that would bring the country better benefit if equipped with the best scientific and technological knowledge. In 1862, Congress passed a bill establishing a Department of Agriculture. Its mission was "to acquire and to diffuse among the people of the United States useful information on subjects connected with agriculture in the most general and comprehensive sense of that word." That knowledge-centric founding vision is reflected in the USDA's stated mission today: "We provide leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, and related issues based on sound public policy, the best available science, and efficient management."
In the interim, though, there's inarguably been a shift toward production for the sake of production. "After World War Two was when it really started to change," says Johns Hopkins's Martin, "and it became a chest-thumping, 'best agricultural system in the world,' 'let's produce more and export it – don't worry about it' sort of thing." One important era: the reign of Earl Butz, who served as agriculture secretary under Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford until he was drummed out of the latter's cabinet in 1976 over an especially crude racist joke. High food prices had become a political issue for Nixon, and in part to help drive them down Butz encouraged American farmers to plant "from fencerow to fencerow." In the years that followed, laws were passed creating industrywide promotional programs on agricultural commodities overseen by USDA and funded by producer fees, such as the Beef Board, which was paid for by dollar-per-head fees and brought us "Beef. It's What's For Dinner." (Similarly, there's "Pork. The Other White Meat" and "The Incredible, Edible Egg.") "Get big or get out," Butz told farmers. And today, big industrial livestock producers, scaled-up corporate farms and powerful industry groups have become the image of the American agricultural system.

Attorneys representing three couples say in a new brief that Utah laws prohibiting same-sex marriage have "cemented discrimination against same-sex couples and their children into the state's most basic charter," denying those families not only the protections that flow from civil marriage but also the "common vocabulary of family life and belonging" that other Utahns may take for granted.
In a 118-page response filed late Tuesday evening with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, the attorneys argue Utah's 2004 constitutional amendment barring same-sex marriages and recognition of marriage or other legal unions performed elsewhere stigmatizes the couples' relationships, leaving them with "no way to publicly express or formalize their commitment to one another" or assume duties and responsibilities of shared lives.
New poll on LGBT acceptance
A new national survey reveals growing acceptance of same-sex marriage and other LGBT issues across all religious, political and age groups. The same poll also shows that most Americans see three major religious groups — the Catholic Church, Mormon church and evangelical Christian churches — as "unfriendly" toward gay people. See the story at sltrib.com.

Nearly every aspect of the couples' lives is touched by the exclusion, from their ability to access state and federal benefits to being able to care for one another in times of illness and crisis, the attorneys said.
"No matter how deeply they care for one another or how long they have stood by one another, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, Amendment 3 treats plaintiffs and other same-sex couples as legal strangers to one another," the brief states.
The ban tells them that "they are not, and never can be, true families," the attorneys wrote.
The brief was filed on behalf of three couples who challenged Utah's ban on same-sex marriage. Those couples are Derek Kitchen and Moudi Sbeity; Kate Call and Karen Archer; and Kody Partridge and Laurie Wood. U.S. District Court Judge Robert J. Shelby ruled in their favor Dec. 20, finding Utah's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
The state appealed. In its opening brief filed Feb. 3, state attorneys based their defense of Amendment 3 on claims they said were grounded in the long-term interests of children. The state said the ban on same-sex marriage protects a "child-centered institution" that promotes Utah's interest in encouraging stable families and responsible procreation.
More than two dozen individuals or groups, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and 81 Republican Utah lawmakers, filed amicus briefs in support of the state's position.
Amicus briefs backing the couples' position will be filed over the next week. The state also has until March 4 to file its final response. The 10th Circuit Court will hear oral arguments in the case April 10.
The three couples are being represented by attorneys Peggy A. Tomsic, James Magleby, Jennifer Fraser Parrish as well as Kate Kendall, Shannon P. Minter and David C. Codell from the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
"This case is about one of our Constitution's most basic principles — the requirement of equality under the law," Tomsic said in a statement. "The couples in this case are upstanding, responsible members of the Salt Lake City community who simply wish to have the same ability to protect their families as other Utah citizens. The law should not treat people differently simply because of who they are."
In their brief, the couples' attorneys said Utah's law has the same effect as the federal Defense of Marriage Act struck down last summer by the U.S. Supreme Court: it places same-sex couples and their families in a separate and unequal status.
The state claims that treating same-sex couples' families equally might lessen interest of opposite-sex couples in marrying and having children, an argument the attorneys said was expressly rejected by the Supreme Court in its DOMA ruling in favor of the need to protect "existing families and existing children."
"The court struck down DOMA because that statute burdened, 'in visible and public ways,' same-sex couples' personal, private and constitutionally protected choices to marry," the brief states.
The decision also made clear that when weighing whether a law disadvantages same-sex couples, courts may not "blindly defer to hypothetical justifications" offered by a state but must consider the purpose underlying the law and the actual harm it causes.
Under any level of constitutional scrutiny, Amendment 3 fails that test, the attorneys said.
In 2004, Utah became one of the first states to adopt a same-sex marriage ban. At the time, gay and lesbian persons were portrayed in a negative light in highly charged political campaigns, the brief states. Proponents of the measure, which was approved by 66 percent of the registered voters who participated in the election that year, said among other things that the amendment was needed to avoid blowing "out the moral lights around us."
"The legislative record and the circumstances surrounding the enactment of Utah's exclusionary marriage provisions — as well as the laws' plain language and stated intent to prevent same-sex couples from gaining access to marriage or any other type of family protections — demonstrate that their purpose and effect are to impose inequality on same-sex couples and their families," the attorneys argue.
Every court that has considered such bans following last summer's decision in the DOMA case has concluded the laws are unconstitutional, they point out. Those states include Utah, Ohio, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Virginia.
On Wednesday, a federal judge in Texas declared that state's ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, but left it in place until an appeals court can rule on the case.
"Full citizenship and limited government — on which our democracy rests — are impossible when fundamental rights such as the freedom to marry are arbitrarily denied to one group of people," the brief states.Next Page >

They are cute, cuddly as well as completely vulnerable. Polar bears grab the admiration and attention of individuals the globe over for their fluffy white furs and huggable size. They achieve recognition from animal enthusiasts for their searching ability as well as survival techniques in one of the harshest environments on Planet. But regardless of their confusing appeal these giants are in danger of being actually wiped off Earth absolutely.
The Bear Basics
Polar bears are actually a huge animals that make their homes on the frozen Arctic marine. The bears are going to shell out the majority of their lives on the ice. Males can grow up to ten feet in period as well as weigh in at over 1,300 pounds! The bears are actually carnivores, suggesting they consume the meat of more Arctic pets. At present there are actually estimated to be merely 20-50,000 polar bears left in the wild. They are actually on the Endangered Animal List.
Intervention in the form of authorities authorities to reduce mortal influence has been highlighted as a concern in America as well as additional countries. In addition, exclusive providers and interest collections continue to lobby as well as work by having the authorities to protect this useful animal in its natural habitat. Apart from authorities interference, additional investigation concerning world-wide warming is valuable so that the temperature modification are able to be stopped or turned around. There are actually agencies that are raising money for this extremely reason. Yet another manner communities are aiding the polar bear is to use competent bear patrol agents to keep the land bound polar bears from individuals and to make sure that the bears are actually not competing too firmly by having the folks for the food resources on land.
Practical knowledge is actually power. Come to be extra informed about this crucial theme by seeing Polar Bears at World Wild Life.

<- Section 4
Information describing specific plan benefits, exclusions and limitations are available from the benefit plan administrator. Toll free numbers and web addresses are listed in Section 14.
The State will cover 95% of the total premium,* and you will pay the remaining 5% premium charge via payroll deductions. Please refer to the FY 2014-2015 Insurance Premium Rates Chart.
This plan covers preventive services (exams and cleanings) at 100% of the "usual, customary and reasonable charge;" radiographs (x-rays), oral surgery, extractions, restoratives, periodontics, and endodontics at 90%; orthodontics at 60%; and sealants for children and prosthodontics (including repairs) at 50%. You are responsible for paying any remaining charges for these services. (This is your co-payment.) These charges may be higher if you obtain services from a non-participating dentist.
This plan will pay a total of $1,500 in basic benefits per member each benefit year (October - September). There is a separate lifetime maximum of $1,500 payable per member for orthodontics.
The State will cover the full premium cost of this plan* and, if you are enrolled, you will receive a $100 lump-sum rebate. Please refer to the FY 2014-2015 Insurance Premium Rates Chart.
This preventive care plan covers diagnostic exams, x-rays and cleanings to the same extent as the State Dental Plan. However, no other services are covered. This plan is intended as an option if you are over-insured because you have dental coverages elsewhere (for example, through a spouse who works for a non-State employer).
You can use the licensed dental care provider of your choice. However, dentists who participate under a provider contract with the dental vendor have agreed to accept the vendor's scheduled reimbursement; non-participating dentists have not.
NOTE: If your spouse's (non-State) employer will not cover you under their group dental plan because you are enrolled in either of the State-sponsored dental care options, including the Preventive Dental Plan, you can "opt out" completely and still receive the $100 lump-sum rebate. Select "Dental Waiver with Rebate".
If you are enrolled in the Preventive Dental Plan and your coverages are terminated mid-year, you will have to return - via a deduction from your pay check -- a pro-rata portion of any lump sum rebate you received (because it was originally paid to you up front for the full 12-month enrollment). Conversely, if you newly enroll in the Preventive Dental Plan mid-year because of a family status change, you will receive a payment on a pro-rata basis following your new enrollment.
The State will cover the full premium cost of this plan.* No payroll deductions are required. Please refer to the FY 2014-2015 Insurance Premium Rates Chart.
This is a managed care dental plan that provides all necessary dental care and services at Midwestern Dental Plans' dental care centers. There are no member co-payments required for any covered dental care received at a dental center, except for a $1,250 orthodontics co-payment for adults (age 19 and older). There are no benefit maximums.
You can choose your own DMO service center which serves your residential area, and which will provide your personal dental care or make referrals for oral surgery, prosthodontics, periodontics, orthodontics or other services. Most of the dental centers -- located in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Ingham counties -- are open for business during evening hours and on Saturdays. In addition, a 24-hour phone service is available for emergency care. For out-of-area emergencies, the DMO will cover 50% of reasonable charges for the immediate relief of pain and suffering.
Review the DMO postal code list for service areas listed by zip code. Benefit plan materials are available directly from the Midwestern Dental Plans at 1-800-544-6374 (toll-free).

I was checking on how easy/difficult it is to install the "SRT" type gas/brake pedals. Anyone?
The bright pedals are just covers. The gas is super easy and just clips on. The brake is a pain in the butt. I suggest putting the brake cover in hot water for a few minutes prior to install and then spray with windex right before installing. You will probably invent a few new words when doing the brake pedal.
Very well put. And make sure no kids are near by.

Basketball and hip-hop have crossed paths multiple times. Usually it ends with basketball players like Iverson and Shaq making terrible albums. Last week Privaledge released a new song featuring Durant called "Rolls Royce." Not sure what is has to do with Rolls Royce, but it's a catchy name I guess.
A little background…
Privaledge is a Philadelphia rapper that is 'affiliated' with Kevin Durant and James Harden. I say affiliated because it has been reported that they actually have a signed contract with Privaledge, but I suspect it's most likely that Kevin and James pay for studio time, and they get to come hang out whenever they want to hang out.
Kevin Durant is a basketball player for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
So how do I like the song? I would say on a scale of Eddy Curry to LeBron James, I would give it a Michael Beasley. It is fun and cool to see Durant off the basketball court, but it's really average at best. I was really hoping for some basketball related lyrics, but Durant stuck with typical rap themes of "I am pretty cool" and "I have a lot of money." Durant's flow was pretty good, so I think he has some talent (hip hop) in him, he just needs someone to ghost write for him like every other rapper. Ex:
Lead my team right through yours,
It looks like I'm Moses on the hard wood.
I'll baptise you non-believers,
Call you Brendon Haywood.
So while it is fun to watch Kevin Durant in movies, and listen to him rap, in just a couple shorts months we will be able to see Durant doing what he is actually good at again. Basketball.

The NCL Dawn is one of the smaller NCL ships, so it lacks a few of the big ticket amenities like water park, bowling and rock climbing. It is showing its age a bit, but was generally well maintained and clean. The pool and spa are a bit smaller than on other NCL ships we have sailed on.
Overall we were satisfield with the many dining options and the casino. We did not go to a single show (highly unusual) but there was a wide variety and reports from other passengers were that they were fun. Our previous experience with NCL entertainment is that it is better than most cruiselines.
The weather was wonderful for the entire cruise and the ports of Curacao, Aruba, St. Maarten and St. Thomas are among our favorites, although we were not that fond of Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
My husband and I cruised in a 2 bedroom suite. The small second bedroom served as my walk-in closet and dressing room. The second bathroom is a blessing when getting ready for a day ashore or evening events.
As suite guests, as well as Platinum level Latittudes members of NCL, we were able to enjoy many ammenities. Priority boarding and disembarking, butler and concierge service, special parties and other perks are well worth the upgrades and loyalty. We each celebrated a birthday and our wedding anniversary during the trip, and it was very special. Room, casino and dining staff made sure the celebration was festive.
We cannot say enough about the friendly and attentive staff that made our vacation great.
A highlight was the Chef's Table dinner. Incredible food and wine and a chance to meet great fellow passengers. The private galley tour with the head chef the following day was an extra special treat.

The knife-wielding neighbor accused of killing Bobby Ray Rainwater won't enter a plea until Jan. 6.
At the request of Robert Eugene Vasquez's attorney, his Tuesday arraignment was postponed until after the new year, said D.A. spokeswoman Farrah Emami.
Vasquez is accused of punching Rainwater in the back of the head and then stabbing him so many times that Rainwater was nearly decapitated.
The grisly new details were laid out by prosecutors Monday evening.
Vasquez, 34, has been charged with special circumstances murder for allegedly lying in wait for Rainwater, a 54-year-old registered sex offender who was found dead in front of his San Juan Capistrano mobile home last week.
Vasquez was also charged with aggravated assault in a separate attack two days later.
According to prosecutors, Vasquez waited outside Rainwater's San Juan Hills Mobile Estates home on Alipaz Street early Thursday with the intention of killing him.
Vasquez first punched Rainwater in the back of the head, then stabbed him multiple times, "nearly decapitating him," according to a district attorney press release. He then fled the scene.
If convicted, Vasquez faces a life sentence without the possibility of parole, according to the D.A.'s office. The addition of the special circumstances charge means he is also eligible for the death penalty.
Orange County Sheriff's deputies originally arrested Vasquez for his alleged involvement in a second assault on Saturday, this one at another home in San Juan Capistrano. The D.A.'s office said Vasquez allegedly used a metal bar to hit Lance Lyons in the face while he was lying down. Lyons' brother intervened to stop the attack from continuing, authorities said.
In the course of investigating that case, deputies connected Vasquez to the Rainwater slaying, the press release said.
Investigators have not revealed possible motives for either attack.

The ViewSonic VX2450wm-LED is a thin LED monitor with pretty good performance and a rock-bottom price.
With a fast pixel-response rate, the ViewSonic VX924 is a great LCD for gaming and watching DVDs, but it's not for the color-conscious.
Despite its build quality flaws, the ViewSonic VX2460H-LED represents a great value for your general-purpose monitor needs.
The 22-inch ViewSonic VX2255wmb features a wide-screen display framed by a consumer-friendly, piano-black bezel, but it lacks the extra video ports consumers can rightfully expect to find on an LCD these days. Its image quality is excellent, however, and it boasts a built-in Webcam and microphone.
The 19-inch ViewSonic VX922's fast 2-millisecond pixel response makes for stellar gaming performance, but DVD playback disappoints; nongamers may be better served by a more adjustable LCD.
The ViewSonic VG2427wm has a good assortment of ergonomic options and great performance, but its asking price is just a bit too high to recommend.
Even if you don't care that ViewSonic's VG2030wm lacks HD DVD or Blu-ray support, we can't give this LCD monitor a strong recommendation simply because there are too many better, more capable displays on the market for the same price. Its image quality is fine, but that's not enough.
The Viewsonic VX2235wm isn't the best performer and it's not packed with extras, but it's worth a look, thanks to its size and relatively low price.
This nicely priced 17-inch LCD from a reputable manufacturer is a good choice for home use, but for gamers and businesspeople, its image quality and adjustability leave a lot to be desired.
The touch display has a 10-point multitouch LED screen and a 1,920x1,080-pixel HD resolution IPS display.
