Condoleezza Rice to Join Augusta National Golf Club, Break Gender Barrierby Free Britney at .
The Augusta National Golf Club has, for the first time in its history, admitted a woman as a member: Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice!
The prestigious, ultra-exclusive organization has been all-male since it opened in 1933; it was also all-white until as recently as 1990. No longer.
This morning, the home of The Masters tournament announced it has invited Rice, along with South Carolina businesswoman Darla Moore, to join.
Do they even have a women's restroom there right now?
Augusta National chairman Billy Payne said: "It will be a proud moment when we present Condoleezza and Darla their green jackets when the club opens this fall."
"This is a significant and positive time in our club's history."
"On behalf of our membership, I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome them and all of our new members into the Augusta National family."
"These accomplished women share our passion for the game of golf and both are well known and respected by our membership," Payne added.Rice, who served as Secretary of State under President George W. Bush, said, "I've visited Augusta National on several occasions and look forward to playing golf, renewing friendships and forming new ones through this very special opportunity."
With the exception of Masters champions, who earn lifetime memberships, entry into the club is by invitation of the existing members only.
Darla Moore, FYI, is a partner of the private investment firm Rainwater, Inc., and is considered a pioneering woman in the banking industry and a benefactor to many institutions in her home state of South Carolina.
Congrats to Condi and Darla!

I really hope you DON'T think you are accomplishing anything because these backward ass stuck in 1952 idiots have invited you to join their golf course! Why would you want to be around these people that have sold their souls to the devil! You don't represent me as a woman and in case you dont gave your sellout goggles on your party is taking us back to when women and Blacks could not vote not to mention your one of the FIRST people with a VAGINA to walk on that turf! And please please don't think for one minute this will NOT exempt you from being called the N word by that poor trash with money!
Lol@ my kind! I gather that would be someone who exposes an idiot like you Matt. Tell Romney to release his taxes and make Ryan explain why he took bailout money that he now so vehemently opposes. Then there's Akins...my what a clever bunch. Just like you Matt, full of hot air and loads of crap.
Careful peach seed- careful you don't unveil your own stupidity while attempting it. You vote for a man who has a socialistic view. A man who has spent the better part of the year collecting votes by catering to gays etc. A man who was mentored by communist and radicals along with Reverend " Racist" Wright! An Admistration whose policies has more people in poverty than ever before- your the idiot Peach! You are exactly like YOUR KIND! NEXT TIME- dont bother initiating a conversation. I'm not here to ease your boredom.
You know something Peach- you should change your name to Boomarang! I walk away and damned if you dont throw one right back at me. Black People - like you? You already knew that Peach! Connie is all class- wait- is that racist? She is a roll model more than Gabby- wouldn't you think? But! She went to the other side- Republican. Rhianna is as screwed up as a can of worms but look at the support! Connie? Just silence! Just look at yourself peach! Hank Williams- talking about Obama- how did you put it? Ignorant Jackass! Then there's Wayne Brady- Talking about a Handicapped kid and you say- Bad Move Wayne- not funny! It's impossible for me to see your side in anything! You are biased Peach- with a touch of racism. and it's the truth!

"1-On-One" with author Jessica Keener
Advice, confessions, reflections, fantasies, delights and flashes of brilliance from Jessica Keener, author of Night Swim.
1. Is it possible to be a good writer without being a good reader?
Hard to imagine how--
2. According to a report of the Independent Book Publishing Association, over five million American adults belong to reading groups. What, do you believe, is the basis for this country's love for literature and books?
The power of story. Stories get us through our days, our weeks, our lives. When we talk with our friends, we share stories to help us understand a problem or overcome a challenge. This is why literature will never go out of favor. We need stories like we need blood and air.
3. Have you ever belonged to a reading group?
4. What advice do you have for reading group members when it comes to selecting books for discussion?
Pick books you truly want to read. Look for a feeling of community and excitement around your selection. Also, consider a variety of sources for your choices—online book sites (like this one), recommendations from friends, local newspapers, Oprah, favorite book bloggers.
5. What book(s) are you reading now or planning to read?
I've just finished several books that I highly recommend: The Suicide Index, which is a memoir by Joan Wickersham; The Call, a novel Yannick Murphy; Moving Waters, a debut story collection by Racelle Rosett; Dawn Tripp's third novel: Game of Secrets; A Free Life by Ha Jin; We The Animals by Justin Torres. New books in my reading queue include Maryann O'Hara's debut novel, Cascade, and Ilie Ruby's second novel: The Salt God's Daughter.
6. If you were stuck on a deserted island and could only bring one book with you to read, what would it be and why?
The impossible question! But I think it might be Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, a novel I've read about seven times now. I'm a sap for stories that deal with emotional roadblocks and struggles in relationships and how individuals manage these obstacles that are either in their control or not in their control. Austen's novel deals with complexities of family life, but also society's constraints that interfere with freedom of choice—freedom to choose who we love and how we live. Her characters are challenged to reach beyond who they are or think they are. There's also a surprising wash of forgiveness in this story that's riddled with people who, like humanity, are constantly tripping over their own foolish, impulsive, misinformed decisions.
7. If you could have dinner with 3 writers (dead or alive) who would they be and why?
I'll choose three writers no longer living: Flannery O'Connor, Helen Arendt, and Shakespeare (if he is, in fact, one person). I admire O'Connor's potent, visionary qualities that she brings to her fiction and her essays. She has a spiritual, otherworldly essence that I'm attracted to. Arendt is the person who helped me understand how genocide happens. In her seminal work: Origins of Totalitarian, she helped me see how group dynamics can lead to fatal social sickness and perversions. Shakespeare-well, he helps me understand different personality types and through drama has taught me how common emotions like jealousy can erode humanity's spirit and destroy us. All three are passionate and unflinching about our human condition.
8. Have you ever read anything you're too embarrassed to admit (except in this interview)?
I don't think so.
9. Favorite book when you were a child?
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White; The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings; Beautiful Joe by Marshall Saunders (aka Margaret Saunders); Grimms' Fairy Tales; A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle; and Hurry, Hurry by Edith Thacher Hurd. (Sorry—I couldn't pick just one.)
10. If you have children, is this the same book you read to them? If not, what is your favorite book for your children?
No. My son (now nineteen) loved Paul O. Zelinksy's The Wheels on The Bus. It's been chewed on, ripped and wrinkled, but we have so many wonderful memories reading that book to him.
11. Favorite heroine in literature and why?
Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice. She has intelligence, wit, passion, and yet—she is flawed, stubborn, blind about herself when it comes to love, and able to make amends and forgive.
12. Favorite hero in literature and why?
David Copperfield. He was also flawed and blind, too; yet honest and searching; and despite life's difficulties, he never became bitter. He maintained his dignity and faith in the goodness of others.
13. Favorite first line from a book?
"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show." David Copperfield
14. Favorite last line from a book?
Don't have one.
15. Book that changed your life?
The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt.
16. Words to live by?
Be true.
Jessica Keener has been listed in The Pushcart Prize under "Outstanding Writers." Her fiction has appeared most recently in Connotation Press: An Online Artifact, Night Train, and Wilderness House Literary Review. A recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist's Grant Program, and second prize in fiction from Redbook magazine, her feature articles have appeared in The Boston Globe, Design New England, O, The Oprah Magazine and other national publications. Night Swim is her debut novel.

Greetings, music fans and welcome to "'Something' in Music". Recently, your sometimes socially inept, shy, innocent white boy writer had an atypical conversation about marriage with some attractive, young ladies in a trendy club. This led to a discussion of wedding traditions.
Specifically, when a gal gets married she's supposed to wear "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue". That one comment (and a few cherry vodka and Cokes) was basically all it took to give birth to the idea behind this odd, eclectic series here on Examiner.com.
Here we shall briefly examine various songs in four different categories: classic songs ("something old"), newer numbers ("something new"), cover cuts ("something borrowed") and blues songs and/or songs with the word "blue" in the title ("something blue"). As per usual, readers are not only welcome to contribute to this fun series but are actually encouraged if not downright expected to do so.
(View the photos to see the latest group of songs.)

I chose this hostel because was the only one available for the New Year.The hostel is not in the main street but you have to walk along a very bad little street before to reach it.The hostel itself is not bad looking, but the room was on the first floor and was really cold. We asked for the heating system but the first night was broken and the others night it worked just for a few hours. Then, they didn't give us the blankets for the first two night! They forgot it!

Hundreds gather for the Price is Right in Grand ForksGrand Forks, ND (WDAY TV) -- Hundreds gathered at the Chester Fritz Auditorium in Grand Forks tonight for the Price is Right Live Show.
By: Kayla Strayer, WDAZ, WDAY
Grand Forks, ND (WDAY TV) -- Hundreds gathered at the Chester Fritz Auditorium in Grand Forks tonight for the Price is Right Live Show.
Host Jerry Springer tells us that the traveling show is all about kicking back and having some fun.
Some folks drove hundreds of miles to see their favorite game show and their favorite television host
Kelsey Wouters: "We drove 400 miles for this so we're ready."
And so is Jerry Springer....
Jerry Springer: "It's a great opportunity to do an iconic game show, as well as do comedy because you're always talking with the people, the contestants, joking around with them, so it's a good time."
Springer admits he was surprised when he was asked to host the show..
Springer: "It's a totally different take on it. It's still the same game, and it's very family oriented. But I probably joke around a little bit more, maybe that's what's different."
While the hosts may change from time to time, the winning stays the same.
Alyssa Benn: "It would be nice to win a car, or moolah or just anything."
Springer: "It is a good time. I mean forget me, it's just a great show and everyone's in a good mood. There's no down side to this show. It's just fun."
But will all this fun continue for Springer?
Springer: "I've had such a wonderful life in terms of what I get to do and things like that. So whatever's there is there. I'm going to obviously continuing doing my show, as long as people like it."
People do seem to like it...the Jerry Springer show is in it's 22nd year.
Springer: "I do my show back in Connecticut, I stay busy between Mondays and Tuesdays there."
But on Wednesdays through Sundays, Springer says he'll continue hosting the Price is Right Live.
The Price is Right Live show will continue touring the country and in Canada.

Talk by Randy Kehler at the Nipponzan Myohoji Peace Pagoda, 27th Anniversary Celebration, Leverett, Massachusetts, September 29, 2012 (PDF version)
Greetings, friends. It's wonderful, as always, to be here with all of you, and an honor to have been invited to share some thoughts with you.
The title of my talk ("Personal Reflections on the State of the World") was meant to be general enough to give me plenty of leeway to talk about almost anything, because, frankly, when I was asked what the title would be, I hadn't yet had much time to think about what I wanted to say. At this point, having given it more thought, I think I would at least amend the title by adding this subtitle: "Randy's Ongoing Meditation on Fear." I think you'll see what I mean.
But let me start with the state of the world and a brief recap of what appear to me to be 5 of the most serious, most threatening, most daunting crises we face – crises that many of us here have devoted significant portions of our lives attempting to address – and few, if any, with more faithfulness, perseverance, and equanimity than the monks and nuns of Nipponzan Myohoji.
First, the crisis of nuclear power.
This is from The Economist, of March 10, 2012 (one year after Fukushima): "The triple meltdown at Fukushima was the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986. The damage extends far beyond a lost power station, a stricken operator (the Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO), and an intense debate about the future of the nation's nuclear power plants. It goes beyond the trillions of yen that will be needed for a decade-long effort to decommission the reactors and remove their wrecked cores, if indeed that proves possible, and the even greater sums that may be required for decontamination (which one [Tokyo University expert] thinks could cost as much as 50 trillion yen, or $623 billion). It reaches into the lives of the displaced, and of those further afield who know they have been exposed to the fallout from the disaster….For parallels that do justice to the disaster, the Japanese find themselves reaching back to the second world war, otherwise seldom discussed….And, of course, to Hiroshima."
There are roughly [400-?] operating operating nuclear power plants in the world today. 104 of them are in the U.S., most of them old and approaching, or already having exceeded, their 40-year design life. Many of them, including the Vermont Yankee nuke, on the Conn. River 20 miles north of here and the Pilgrim nuke in Plymouth, 40 miles south of Boston, have been given permission by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission to operate for an additional 20 years, and at 120% of the power output they were designed to produce. 23 of the U.S. reactors, including both Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim, are of almost the identical make and flawed design (courtesy of General Electric) as the nukes still melting down in Fukushima.

Palestine, West Bank
In recent news, Palestinian actions in the West Bank have moved more towards
constructive programme in the last month or two. Palestinians and international activists
have built a total of three protest villages thus far. Two have been destroyed but the
recent village is still standing.
The first camp was constructed on Friday, January 11th. By noon, the Palestinians
announced to the world that the village of Bab-al Shams (Gateway to the Sun) had been
established. A day later, there were approximately 250 residents, a village council, a
health clinic, a media center, a communal kitchen, and the beginnings of a library. The
majority of the residents were students, activists, and popular committee leaders.
However, residents of various locations in Palestine and even those from 1948 were
living there as well.

On Monday President Obama nominated his counterterrorism chief, John O. Brennan, to head the Central Intelligence Agency. Though some civil liberties groups and other critics have raised questions about Brennan's involvement in the CIA's practice of torture during the Bush administration, relatively less has been said about his primarily responsibility during President Obama's first term: accelerating and institutionalizing the U.S. drones program and its "disposition matrix" — as the government's sanitizing parlance puts it — which has included setting weekly drone kill lists.

By International Solidarity Activists
Gaza- Israeli forces fired live ammunition and tear gas at unarmed farmers and international solidarity activists working in Khuza'a, a small village outside of Khan Younis located near the Israeli border. At 10:30 AM, the farmers arrived and began to plough approximately 100 meters from the separation fence while internationals lined up in between the border and the farmers. They were quickly met by an Israeli military jeep and transport vehicle. An Israeli soldier issued a warning in Arabic to leave the area and then fired two rounds into the air. The farmers and internationals remained calm and continued their work and the Israeli soldiers left the area.
Israeli soldier aiming
At around 11 AM, approximately 20 Palestinians and farmers gathered around 300 meters back from the fence. Two military jeeps returned to the area. One soldier exited his vehicle and fired four shots in the direction of the farmers and activists. The fourth shot crossed the line of the activists and landed in the field being ploughed. Again, the Palestinians and internationals were not deterred. The Israeli jeeps left and the farmers finished working on this section of land and moved on to an adjacent plot. Read more
Dalu home in Gaza obliterated
On November 18, 2012, the Dalu family, huddled at home, waited for the war that surrounded them to end. Like everyone else in Gaza, they had nowhere to run. At 2:30PM, without warning, an Israeli missile flattened the entire building, killing all ten occupants and two from the building adjacent. Not only was the building destroyed, but the bomb carved out a deep crater where the home had been. It took four days of searching through the rubble for rescuers to find the bodies of the ten family members and two neighbors.
Palestinian citizens are all theoretically eligible for a Palestinian passport. However, Israel determines whether the applicant will receive the passport. Because of this, thousands of civilians have been denied the right to exit the prison most of them were born into and will likely die in, the prison of Gaza. The Dalu family did not have the option to flee to Israel or Egypt for safety as the borders were only open intermittently during this most recent conflict, and passage was restricted to medical emergencies and humanitarian supplies.
from the Positive Peace Warrior Network (PPWN) web site , November 2012
David Hartsough is a lifelong nonviolent activist, having participated in the lunch-counter sit-ins during the Civil Rights Movement, and is STILL a committed activist, participating in demonstrations and risking arrest in the name of peace and justice. He has also been a major supporter of our work at PPWN. PPWN honors all of our elders, but gives special appreciation to elders like David, who not only celebrates the work he did decades ago, but is still engaged in the struggle today. We have much to learn from the commitment of people like him.
On October 30th of this year, David was arrested again (he has over 125 arrests on his rap sheet!), this time protesting the use of Drones by the US Military at Beale Air Force Base. He is now facing federal charges. Continue reading

I want to make an offer to my fellow Americans who are, like myself, reeling from the worst "random" shooting the country has ever seen. My question: Have you had enough? Because if you have, I can tell you how to stop this kind of madness. I know that's a bold claim, but this is not a time for small measures.
We cannot fix this tomorrow, because we didn't cause it yesterday. We have been building up to this domestic holocaust since – to take one milestone – television was made available to the general public at the conclusion of World War Two.
If you are still with me, you are prepared to believe that it was not a coincidence that this massacre took place at the scene of an extremely violent, "long-awaited" movie. Psychologists have proved over and over again that – guess what – exposure to violent imagery produces disturbances in the mind that must, in course of time, take form in outward behavior. The imagery can be in anymedium, nor does it matter whether on the surface of our minds we think what we're seeing is real or made up. This is a natural, scientific law. Exactly who will crack next and in what setting is nearly impossible to predict, and in any case it's ridiculous to try to run around stopping the resulting violence from being acted out after the mental damage has been done. The only sane approach is not to do it in the first place.
As Lt. Col. Dave Grossman pointed out in his book, Let's Stop Killing Our Kids, the video games that the Army uses to prepare ordinary men and women for combat, in other words to wipe out the normal empathy and inhibitions against hurting others that we've built up over millennia – a process known as civilization – are the very same games our young people buy across the counter throughout the country.
Of course, there are other factors. At some point we will have to talk about readily available weapons; at some point we'll have to realize that a nation that engages in heartless drone warfare, torture, and extrajudicial killings cannot expect to live in peace. But until we liberate our minds from the endless pounding of violent imagery I fear we won't be able to think clearly about those factors (or for that matter anything else).
With rare exceptions, film and video game producers will not stop turning out these dehumanizing products as long as there is profit to be made from them – and not enough sophistication about culture or the human mind to warn us about their dangers. But there is a way, one that has worked well on the small scales on which it has so far been tried: don't watch them. Captain Boycott had the right approach.
Right now police have been posted at theaters where this same movie is being shown – still. But ask yourself, what are they protecting? Is it perhaps the belief that violence is just entertaining? People, tell me when you've had enough.
If you are moved by this article, please pass it along. If you are a member of the press and would like to interview the Metta Center for our perspective on this tragedy, you can contact us at 707.774.6299 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
December 15, 2011, 9:41 am – Mirrored from wagingnonviolence.org
"Building a Rainbow" is the title of an old poster I picked up somewhere along the way. The rainbow's swath of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet layers is dazzling—and only half finished. In the picture, this symbol of peace is not an idealistic dream but something real. It is under construction, with a troupe of cranes carefully maneuvering sections into place, countless trucks and overworked paint wagons, scaffolding everywhere, and a flotilla of helicopters lumbering across the sky, each with its own precarious splotch of color dangling below.
We live in a violent world. But we also live in a world where a growing number of people everywhere are determined to confound the assumption that there is nothing we can do about this. They gamble that violence need not have the final word. They wager that there are options. They assert that we needn't be victims of a cycle of violent history; rather, we can dare to be active subjects of a more nonviolent history that engages and transforms the violence around us. For them, violent history isn't a given, it is made. So, too, is a nonviolent one.
