Is this what's wrong with today's war coverage?
Mark Moyar makes some interesting points about the mainstream media's war coverage in today's New York Sun:
The Vietnam-era journalists began a tradition that today's press consistently upholds. We hear very little from most large press outlets about American heroes in Iraq and Afghanistan, men like James Coffman Jr., Danny Dietz, and Christopher Adlesperger, or about our military successes there. Instead of associating such names with these wars, Americans associate the words they hear most often from the press, like Abu Ghraib and Haditha. As in Vietnam, too, the shunning of heroes does not extend to the press's coverage of itself. Awards to journalists, both those who have spent time in Iraq and Afghanistan and those who have not, are considered worthy of lengthy news stories.
Publicizing American heroism and success is essential today for two reasons. First, it permits a nuanced view of Iraq and Afghanistan, one which cannot be discerned from the daily stories of sectarian murders and the photos of American troops who have just been killed. Second, American troops and the American people become more courageous and resolute when they hear of their countrymen's military heroism and success, past and present. In earlier times, Americans ingrained their traditions of heroism and victory into the country's youth through historical instruction. Today's history textbooks largely ignore America's military past, a reflection of the anti-military prejudices, lack of military experience, and cosmopolitanism that pervade the intelligentsia.
Most Americans outside of academia and the mainstream press, on the other hand, still understand the importance of military tradition, and they crave stories about valorous Americans at war. We are fortunate, therefore, to have "Don't Tread on Me: A 400-Year History of America at War, From Indian Fighting to Terrorist Hunting" (Crown, 464 pages, $27.50) to satisfy that yearning. In witty and irreverent prose, author H.W. Crocker III provides a broad survey of America's martial history, starting at the arrival of the first English colonists and ending with the present wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Among the great military men whom Mr. Crocker profiles are some who remain widely known because they later became president (Jackson, Taylor, Theodore Roosevelt), or because their renown is too enormous to hide (Douglas MacArthur, George Patton). But most are men whose fame has been dimmed by the neglect of the cultural elites.

RMF Capital Reading Group
RMF's new Capital Reading Group has begun.
The group is aimed at those with an interest in Marx but who have not necessarily read Capital, as well as being open to those more experienced with the text. Members need not be economists, as multidisciplinary membership enriches the content of our discussions.
We are following the Penguin Classics edition of Capital, so prospective members should make sure in advance that they will have access to this edition of the text. It can be purchased relatively cheaply from Amazon. We are starting with volume 1, but then intend to go on to tackle volumes 2 and 3.
Members of the group read the portion of the text scheduled for each session in advance. The group organisers introduce the sessions through short presentations, which are then followed by open discussion.
The group meets fortnightly on Mondays 19:00-21:00 at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). Thus far we have covered sections 1-3 of Chapter 1: The Commodity. The next session will be held on Monday 24 February in SOAS room G3 and will cover Section 4 of Chapter 1 – 'The Fetishism of the Commodity and its Secret'. Those who wish to participate should therefore have covered all of Chapter 1.
Find us on Facebook or contact us by email if you are interested.

Sony Posts First Annual Profit in Five Years
UPDATED: Boosting the latest results were a weaker yen, asset sales and such box office hits as "Skyfall" and "The Amazing Spider-Man."
Entertainment and consumer electronics giant Sony Corp., led by CEO Kaz Hirai, on Thursday posted its first full fiscal-year profit in five years, helped by asset sales, the weaker yen and stronger results at its movie unit.
Sony's earnings for the fiscal year ended March 31 reached $458 million (43 billion yen), compared with a year-ago loss of $5.7 billion (457 billion yen), helped by the sale of stock holdings and buildings. Sony's operating result also swung to a profit of $2.45 billion after an operating loss of $820 million in the previous fiscal year. Revenue rose 4.7 percent to $72.3 billion as a weaker yen boosted competitiveness and the value of overseas revenue.
STORY: Sony to Sell Manhattan Headquarters for $1.1 Billion
Sony's movie unit reported $509 million in operating profit for the full year, up 40 percent, on an 11.4 percent, or four percent on a constant currency basis, revenue gain to $7.8 billion.
The company cited "significantly higher theatrical revenues from the ... year's film slate, partially offset by the sale of a participation interest in Spider-Man merchandising rights in the previous fiscal year." Big box office hits that helped the latest fiscal year included Skyfall and The Amazing Spider-Man, whose positive contribution was partially offset by the under-performance of Total Recall.
STORY: Viacom CEO Signals No Interest in Acquisition of Major Studio
The segment results also benefited from higher home entertainment revenue from U.S. cable TV programs and better home entertainment revenue.
Sony also posted a music unit operating profit of $396 million for the latest year, up 0.9 percent. Revenue declined 0.2 percent to $4.7 billion.
"This was due to the continued worldwide contraction of the physical music market and the impact of a larger number of successful releases in Japan in the previous fiscal year, offset by the favorable impact of the depreciation of the yen against the U.S. dollar and growth in digital revenue," the company said.
Best-selling titles included One Direction's "Take Me Home" and "Up All Night," P!nk's "The Truth about Love," and Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience."
Meanwhile, Sony's gaming unit saw its operating profit fall 94 percent to $18 million as revenue dropped 12 percent to $7.5 billion. The company cited lower PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita hardware sales, as well as lower PSP hardware and software sales. A February price cut of the PS Vita in Japan also affected the unit's bottom line, Sony said.
For the latest quarter, Sony's profit amounted to $948.5 million, compared to a year-ago loss. Quarterly revenue rose 8.3 percent.
For the current fiscal year that ends March 2014, Sony said it expects a profit of $506 million (50 billion yen) and an operating profit of $2.3 billion (230 billion yen).
On an earnings conference call, Sony executives said that games revenue should see a "significant" increase in the new fiscal year amid the planned launch of the new PlayStation console. Including higher research/development and marketing expenses, the segment will keep profitability about flat, they said.
In the movies unit, financials should rise significantly in yen amid a weakening yen, while results should be flat in dollars. With TV revenue up and lower theatrical and home entertainment results amid tough comparisons, operating profit will be "essentially flat" in the current fiscal year, the company said.
Music revenue and operating profit should be up this year due to the yen depreciation and higher digital revenue, Sony said.

27th. Sunday.
This morning I went with Mr. Artaud to Mr. Rimberts and from thence we set out, eight in one large carriage and two other gentlemen in another small one for Czarsko-Zelo her Majesty's ordinary residence in the summer.
Before we had got half ways the small carriage's axletree broke and we were obliged to take the two other gentlemen in; so that we went all ten in the same carriage. We arrived there at about 12 o'clock and went directly to see the palace the inside of which is not yet wholly finished. After having seen the palace we return'd into the city and arriv'd at about half past seven o'clock; and returned to our sev•

eral destinations. Czarsko-Zelo is distant from Petersbourg 22 wersts.
. The famous summer residence of Catherine the Great at Tsarkoe Selo (renamed Pushkin), located about fifteen miles south of St. Petersburg, was originally a residence of Catherine I. About 1750 it was enlarged and embellished for the Empress Elizabeth in baroque style by the Italian architect Bartolommeo Rastrelli (1700–1771), but its completion and redecoration in neoclassical style was done for Catherine II by the Scottish architect Charles Cameron in the latter part of the century (

As far as the Pippen talk goes, history has already written that chapter. To those that say Jordan made him, I can see where they are coming from however I would say what if he played those "prime years" with LA, Portland, New York, or even Indiana? Something tells me that he would have found his way into the Hall without MJ given the right team.
Pip came within a few bad Rasheed jumpers of beating the Lakers and taking Portland to the finals.
Also, doesn't everyone from Ohio who wants to do something great leave? Our license plate and State Quarter used said, "Birthplace of Aviation." I always found this abundantly sad. Ohio is not actually where aviation happened, just where the guys who were involved we're born. I always thought we should have put our horrific presidents on the coin and let people marvel at our amazing contribution to the highest office in the land.

In 2010, the WWE stock was at 18.64 a share, and valued at right around $860 million. Now, with the stock at $7.86, the stock is worth around $360 million. Vince & Linda McMahon own a combined 46 million shares.
Now, Linda McMahon's opponents are claiming that she let down WWE shareholders by giving up her position as CEO to run for US Senate, and noting that the drop in stock price backs that up.

I hadn't written a column in a while, so while trying to come up with a topic, I thought I might take the easy way out and carve up the new reality show, "Here comes Honey Boo Boo."
It is a show about a pint-sized pageant contestant and her uncouth tribe — a hillbilly clan that spends the better part of each episode trying to perfect exquisite seasonings and side dishes to best pair with a little deep-fried squirrel.
That was the plan and I had Honey Boo Boo directly in my contemptuous crosshairs.
But just before putting pen to paper Tuesday, I walked on to my deck on a beautiful, cool, sun-drenched fall morning and I knew the Honey Boo Boo column that would have to wait.
I had been here before — 11 years to be exact — and this was a column that would take a different turn.
On that September day 11 years ago I had a house full of toddlers and preschoolers, and was primarily concerned with diapers, runny noses and pulling crayons out of the toaster oven.
The day before, I had just written a smarmy, tongue-in-cheek "expose" of Mr. Rogers as my column to be published on Sept. 11.
After that, I assumed the rest of my week would be spent at soccer and volleyball games just like every other week in the fall — but then the world all changed in a matter of 102 minutes.
Funny columns weren't so funny and high school soccer just wasn't that important.
My three-year old and I stood in front of the TV and watched the second jet smash into the south tower, knowing only seconds later that this was not an accident — and everything was about to change for everyone.
I still remember the anger I felt that day. We all wanted someone to blame. After the anger, came the sadness, which has never gone away and I doubt ever will.
Because of the events of 9/11, we fought two wars in the last decade, spent billions of dollars, watched our economy free fall and seen gas prices skyrocket. We have pointed fingers at each other, trying to find some policy that began under President Bush, or was created by President Obama that caused the economic woes we now face. They didn't cause it, they just tried to respond to it.
The cause came from 19 hijackers filled with hatred who created a confluence of events that we are still responding to today.
So was justice served, a year ago when Navy SEALs double-tapped bin Laden? No, nothing will take away the pain that man caused so many families who lost loved ones in the attack or in the decade of fighting since then.
So 11 years have past and I'm sure many of us have begun to move on to some degree.
Unfortunately, judging from the events of the last week, as our neighbors in Dubois County bury a 21-year old Marine and the Middle East explodes into utterly insane chaos, it obvious our enemies have not.
I'm sure some time in the future, I can walk outside on a beautiful, cool fall September morning and worry about writing a column about a silly TV show — but not today.

When Amber Grigsby's father walked into the house that afternoon, she had no idea that her life was about to change dramatically—and for the better.
She didn't know that, when he told her that she was going to practice, her confusion would soon turn into elation.
But it was on that day that the third-grader discovered basketball, and it was also on that day that she realized that she was a natural at it.
Even though it took some convincing at first.
Taylor County In their third game in three days, the Washington County Commanders (2-8, 0-4) were unable to best the Taylor County Cardinals (9-3) in the second matchup of the year between the two squads.
With the Commanders only trailing by nine going into the locker room, the Cardinals ramped up their defensive pressure in the second half and would go on to win by a score of 63-37 in the fifth-place contest of the Campbellsville Holiday Classic (an eight-team tournament).
St. Catharine College Athletic Director Tom Bystrek has announced that wrestling will be added as a new sport in the fall of 2014.
The addition will be the 20th varsity sport for the Patriots and the 10th men's varsity sport at the college.
"We are excited about the possibilities," said Bystrek. "Not only will the competition be exciting, but the college will add an additional 30 plus athletes to our athletic and campus family."
- The SCC Patriots women's basketball team earned their first-ever bid to the NAIA national tournament. SCC finished the regular season at 19-10, with eight of their 19 wins coming against teams that were nationally ranked at the time. The seventh-seeded Patriots played Westminster (Utah) in the first round of the 32-team tournament but lost by a score of 69-55.
OKH The last game for Head Coach Barrett Tingle and his WCMS eighth-graders before heading to Christmas break turned into a thriller.
Old Kentucky Home traveled to WCMS in hopes of avenging the tournament championship game loss at the hands of WCMS in early November.
The game turned into a defensive battle throughout the first half, with OKH taking a 16-14 lead into the locker room.
Bethlehem Despite only giving up 34 points for the entire game, the Washington County Commanderettes (1-6, 0-4) were unable to pull out a win last Friday night against the Bethlehem Banshees (2-4, 1-2), losing on a last-second shot, 34-32.
The loss was the team's sixth in a row.
"When you only give up 34 points, you're supposed to win," Head Coach Bernard Smalley said after the game, "but unfortunately, we weren't able to do that [against Bethlehem]."
Bethlehem Even before last week's matchup against the Bethlehem Eagles (2-3, 1-2) began, Washington County Head Coach Russell Burkhead knew that the game was going to be trouble for the Commanders (1-6, 0-4).
As the team was heading to the game, their bus broke down, making them late for the start of the contest.
And things quickly got out of control for WC once the matchup was underway, losing 66-34 in a blowout that was only close in the opening moments.
Washington County sports are just in Jason Hilton's blood.
Born and raised in Washington County, Hilton picked up this inborn love at an early age, and it continued on through high school.
While he played three years of basketball at WCHS, it was baseball that drew his attention the most, partially because his father, Billy, ran Idle Hour Park and coached him all through little league.
Hilton would go on to be a three-year starter at the varsity level for the Commander baseball team.
The St. Catharine men's basketball team (7-3, 1-1 MSC) found themselves knocking on the door of the NAIA Top 25 with the release of the polls on Wednesday.
The Patriots received 29 votes for a top-25 rating in the latest Top 25 poll, placing them in 28 place overall.
The Patriots joined three other Mid-South Conference schools in the nation's top 30. Georgetown College (2), University of Pikeville (3) and Cumberland University (23) all received national rankings.
In the Monday night game, the WC Commanders (1-4, 0-2) grabbed their first win of the season against the 2-2 Berea Pirates.
Before the 74-70 victory, WC had been outscored on the season by 166 points. Bardstown Last Saturday night, the Commanders fell by a score of 76-39 to the Bardstown Tigers (4-0, 1-0)
Last season, the Tigers went undefeated in regular-season district play but fell in the 19 district finals to the Bethlehem Eagles.

Another great article by you. But I fear that you are Cassandra and your writings are falling on…Read More the ears of Eloi. The Eloi are content to watch NASCAR, eat pizza, drive their SUVs, and remain oblivious to the Morlocks. "In a democracy people get the leaders they deserve."

The Knicks undeafeted season has come to an end as they lose to the Grizzlies 105-95, last night at the FedEx Forum.
New York falls short of going 7-0. The last and only time they went 7-0 was back in the 1993-1994 season, where they made the NBA Finals.
Their record stands at 6-1 and there really isn't any negative thing to say about this team as of right now. It's not like the Knicks were going to go 82-0 on the season.
Anyway, They are watchable team for the first time in years, even though they made the playoffs in their last two seasons, but they got knocked out in the first round twice.
This team should make it far into the postseason or it will be a failed experiment of the Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire duo.
When Amar'e Stoudemire make his comeback at some point during the season. He and Melo need to get it together if they are going to ever reach an NBA Finals.
I believe this team will be a lot better when they get both Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert back into the fold. It is important to get one of their best offensive players back and their best defensive back as well.
Having a complete roster like the Knicks have now should be a title contender for at least the next three years or so.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERPaul Kennedy, award-winning author of The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers and one of today's most renowned historians, now provides a new and unique look at how World War II was won. Engineers of Victory is a fascinating nuts-and-bolts account of the strategic factors that led to Allied victory. Kennedy reveals how the leaders' grand strategy was carried out by the ordinary soldiers, scientists, engineers, and businessmen responsible for realizing their commanders' visions of success.
In January 1943, FDR and Churchill convened in Casablanca and established the Allied objectives for the war: to defeat the Nazi blitzkrieg; to control the Atlantic sea lanes and the air over western and central Europe; to take the fight to the European mainland; and to end Japan's imperialism. Astonishingly, a little over a year later, these ambitious goals had nearly all been accomplished. With riveting, tactical detail, Engineers of Victory reveals how.
Kennedy recounts the inside stories of the invention of the cavity magnetron, a miniature radar "as small as a soup plate," and the Hedgehog, a multi-headed grenade launcher that allowed the Allies to overcome the threat to their convoys crossing the Atlantic; the critical decision by engineers to install a super-charged Rolls-Royce engine in the P-51 Mustang, creating a fighter plane more powerful than the Luftwaffe's; and the innovative use of pontoon bridges (made from rafts strung together) to help Russian troops cross rivers and elude the Nazi blitzkrieg. He takes readers behind the scenes, unveiling exactly how thousands of individual Allied planes and fighting ships were choreographed to collectively pull off the invasion of Normandy, and illuminating how crew chiefs perfected the high-flying and inaccessible B-29 Superfortress that would drop the atomic bombs on Japan.
The story of World War II is often told as a grand narrative, as if it were fought by supermen or decided by fate. Here Kennedy uncovers the real heroes of the war, highlighting for the first time the creative strategies, tactics, and organizational decisions that made the lofty Allied objectives into a successful reality. In an even more significant way, Engineers of Victory has another claim to our attention, for it restores "the middle level of war" to its rightful place in history.
Praise for Engineers of Victory
"Superbly written and carefully documented . . . indispensable reading for anyone who seeks to understand how and why the Allies won."—The Christian Science Monitor
"An important contribution to our understanding of World War II . . . Like an engineer who pries open a pocket watch to reveal its inner mechanics, [Paul] Kennedy tells how little-known men and women at lower levels helped win the war."—Michael Beschloss, The New York Times Book Review
"Histories of World War II tend to concentrate on the leaders and generals at the top who make the big strategic decisions and on the lowly grunts at the bottom. . . . [Engineers of Victory] seeks to fill this gap in the historiography of World War II and does so triumphantly. . . . This book is a fine tribute."—The Wall Street Journal
"[Kennedy] colorfully and convincingly illustrates the ingenuity and persistence of a few men who made all the difference."—The Washington Post
"This superb book is Kennedy's best."—Foreign Affairs

Everything Nurses >> Nurse Talk >> Why babies in every country on Earth say 'mama'
Why babies in every country on Earth say 'mama'
28667 posts back to top |
Posted 10 months ago Why babies in every country on Earth say 'mama' . Like it or not, cross-cultural use of the word "mama" doesn't spring from some innate appreciation of moms Every language has a word for water. In Swahili they call it maji. In Dutch, it's vand. The Japanese say mizu. Even though these words describe the most common and plentiful life-giving substance on Earth, they have nothing in common linguistically. But why should they, evolving as they did on three separate continents among people with incredibly diverse histories and traditions? But there is a word, and only one, spoken the same way in nearly every language known to humankind. That word, of course, is "mama." Learning to live without my mother "Mama" is a universal word, describing the woman who gave us the most cherished love in our most vulnerable state. Almost every language boasts a recognizable form of it. While it's true that most languages vary when it comes to the formal word mother, the intimate mama stays the same in each language. But "mama" doesn't spring from love. It happens because of two things: Lazy little baby mouths, and boobs. The definitive study on "mama and papa" as universal terms was conducted by Russian linguist Roman Jakobson. He explained that the easiest vocalizations for a human to make are open-mouth vowel sounds. Babies can make vowel sounds (cries) from day one. And they do. Constantly. As they begin to experiment with making other noises, babies will test some of the easier consonant sounds. Usually they start with the sounds made with closed lips, or "labial sounds" such as /m/ /p/ /b/. Babies summon their energy to push out that new consonant sound "MMMM" and then relax into an open mouth vowel, usually "ah" — which is the easiest. When you combine that with a baby's natural repetition in speech, or "babbling," you get " ma-ma", "ba-ba" "pa-pa," and so on. |
28667 posts back to top |
| Posted 10 months ago So why do babies gravitate to the "m" sound instead of "p" or "b"? Because of breasts, of course! The "m" sound is the easiest for a baby mouth to make when wrapped around a warm delicious breast. Even as adults, we still associate "mmm" with something being yummy and good. So does your baby.
So when a baby calls its father "mama," and gets increasingly disturbed when the father does not become mama, the child is not actually asking for its mother. The child is recognizing that the hairy flat-chested lunk trying to sing "Little Bird" to it is NOT Primary Food Dispersal Unit #1. And Primary Food Dispersal Unit #1, or the suitable latex substitute she usually holds, should be brought forth as quickly as possible. The Jakobson study predates the feminist movement, and doesn't touch much on the role of men as primary care givers. We can assume the same pattern of speech develops, but is re-arranged through parental guidance, so that a baby soon learns that saying "da da" will bring food, even if no breasts are involved. Parents encourage the baby's speech, and help refine its inflection to their particular language. Soon "mama" and "papa" begin to represent the actual people in the child's life, no matter how diverse those lives are. So whether or not the child wakes at night asking for vand, mizu, or maji, it will likely be Mama they're asking to get it |

Astoria's cruise business slumps |
| Print | |
Robin Doussard | ||
Tuesday, October 30, 2012 | ||
BY ROBIN DOUSSARD The double whammy of Mexico's continuing drug-related violence scaring off tourists and cruise lines subsequently moving their ships to other parts of the world, along with consumers backing off pricey Alaska cruising and that state's passenger tax has resulted in the Port of Astoria losing almost half of its cruise ship business this year. In 2011, 15 cruise ships made a port call in Astoria; 19 were scheduled but four cancelled because of bad weather. This year, only 10 ships stopped at the port. This year's numbers are similar to 2010, when nine ships stopped in Astoria. Astoria is a repositioning port. In May, the ships repositioned out of warm waters into cold waters and that's when they pass Astoria. "We see them in the spring, and then in the fall when they reposition back down," says Connor "Just like the whales. Our season is very short. April/May and then August-September-October." Bruce Connor, the port's director of marketing, says that when cruise lines made their business projections in 2010 for 2011-2012, "Mexico was considered an unsafe destination for the cruise client. That resulted in the ships being taken out of this market, which meant they were not going to Alaska. So we lost them repositioning in Astoria. Also, the Alaska market was soft. Sales were down a bit, but nothing like Mexico. Mexico just dropped through the floor." Connor adds that the economy in California was bad then also, and it so cruise lines moved their ships to other regions, such as the Mediterranean. Cruise lines were also not fond of Alaska's head tax, but he says that has been reduced from $65 per person to $40. Oregon does not levy a per-passenger charge. The reduced cruise ship traffic meant fewer passengers getting off the boats (the average is 2,000 passengers per boat) to shop, eat, use services and visit tourist attractions in Astoria and surrounding Clatsop County. Connor estimates that each passenger spends on average $75 when they leave the ship. It also meant that the port's revenue dropped about $10,000 from last year. In the seesaw fashion of the past few years, the port is expecting a record 22 or more ships in 2013. "The popularity of Alaska and Mexico is coming back," Connor says. "The projection for California is that it will be better. Cruise lines predict the West Coast will be booming in 2014, so they want to get their ships here early." Celebrity Cruise's 1,800-passenger Celebrity Solstice will make a port of call for the first time. When it does, the Clatsop Cruise Hosts will be ready. The 150 volunteers are dedicated to welcoming the cruise passengers, and providing tips and information on visiting Astoria and surrounding towns. Robin Doussard is editor-in-chief of Oregon Business. |

I woke up this afternoon with a bit of rococo aesthetic on my mind. The flourishes and such are a little lopsided, but for it being a sketch, i love the way it came out. Stay rococo friends.
Today's letter is also one we have to connect the shapes with. I was drivin by Roberts Printing in Downtown Georgetown and to my right, there was a door to a rundown building. The shapes on the door looked strong compared to everything else around it and there I found my E. I like the boldness i the bottom bar, it gives the E a strong foundation. Maybe that could be something to explore when making type in illustrator? Giving a letterform's foundation more breadth. Till next time.
Paperclip Goodness
Today's post comes from a couple things that were found next to each other on my desk. I had an L wrench?? ( I think that's what it's called) for my bike, laying on my desk, and a sliver of staples also, which formed this great looking F! Seriously this one got me smiling from ear to ear. I love the way this letterform came out.
Always Remember to Look Up
I was trying to draw a D today and wasnt liking any of the letterforms I was coming up with. Then I looked up, and in front of me was this remote for some bar lights that cried to be taken a pic of. The side of the remote looked like a tall D. So I had to take a picture of it. Amazing the things we find when we just look up. I guess today's lesson is to alway look up.
