Kaleen earns SA8000 status for Indian facility
February 18, 2013-- Home Accents Today,
Rug producer Kaleen has earned SA8000 status for its India manufacturing unit. SA8000 is a series of social accountabilty workplace standards designed to protect the well-being of factory workers.
"I believe this to be the single most important honor a manufacturer should strive to receive, and we are extremely proud of the recognition of over 40 years of achievement for our manufacture team and the dedication and commitment of the Rathi Family," said Joe Barkley, executive vice president of Kaleen. "Kaleen's social commitment has been a primary focus since the Mr. Rathi started the company in 1964".
According to a press release from Kaleen, the SA8000 standard is one of the world's first auditable social certification standards for decent workplaces, across all industrial sectors. It is based on conventions of the ILO, United Nations and national laws. The SA8000 standard spans industry and corporate codes to create a common language for measuring social compliance. Those seeking to comply with SA8000 have adopted policies and procedures that protect the basic human rights of workers. The management system supports sustainable implementation of the principles of SA8000: child labor, forced and compulsory labor, health and safety, freedom of association and right to collective bargaining, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours and remuneration.

It was a big day for the South Bend Fire and Police Departments. Five new officers were sworn in Wednesday morning. Anuar Velazquez, Andrew Jackson, Jarveair Bourn, Calon Naragon, and Ricardo Ramirez-Juarez took the oath of office to become new South Bend police officers in front of a crowd of family and friends. They say they're excited to get started.
"This is awesome, the chance to serve the community and to be a figure to the children growing up here," says Naragon.
"I'm looking forward to working in this community and serving the people of South Bend," says Velazquez.
Police Chief Ron Teachman says he is excited about the diversity of the new officers and each have different levels of experience to offer the department.
Another honor was given to David Jester. He was promoted from the rank of Firefighter 1st Class to the rank of Captain for the South Bend Fire Department.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg was a part of the festivities and congratulated each member on their new roles.

Lauren Thinks Something is Fishy with Citizen Hearst
The third flick I went to see at the 2012 HIFF was "Citizen Hearst". So, I'm sitting in the theatre thinking this is great… well good… but then I begin to wonder "hmmmm is this an ad for the Hearst Publishing Company? . Leslie Iwerks' new movie "Citizen Hearst" starts off great, with old footage of Hearst, his San Simeon castle lifestyle, and his magazines. But it turns into one big promotion for all current Hearst TV channels and magazines. Academy-award-nominated Iwerks answered audience questions at the end of the flick in East Hampton and revealed that Hearst was a sponsor of her movie. Yup, I knew something was fishy. The best thing about the movie for me was sitting next to the fab China Machado, who was the first women of color featured in the Hearst magazine Harpers Bazaar

"It was just a real stinker on our part," said Wolves coach Craig MacTavish.
The Wolves started out the scoring with a nice wrap-around goal by Nathan Longpre, just three minutes into the game.
Just over a minute later Texas answered with a deflection goal from Brad Lukowich on the power play to tie the game at one.
The score sheet was quiet until the second period when the Wolves' Jordan Schroeder scored his 10th goal of the year on a two on one to break the tie.
From that moment on it was all Stars in the second period as they went on to score three goals in a row to take a 4-2 lead going into the third.
"It was pretty poor effort for us and that's not Chicago Wolves Hockey," said Darren Haydar. Effort seemed to be a problem for the first two periods of the game as the team seemed lackadaisical.
Down by two goals going into the third period, the team did pick up their effort by out shooting the Stars 12-5.
Chicago's Steve Reinprecht was awarded a penalty shot with about ten minutes to go but he was stuffed by Stars goalie Andrew Raycroft.
The Wolves kept firing and eventually Mike Duco scored a goal on a nice pass from Haydar with one minute to go to cut the lead down to one. In the final minute the Wolves had much pressure but could never put the puck in the back of the net.
"The only positive we can take is that we fought in the third period to make it a game," said Haydar. "In hockey you can't wait and play twenty minutes to win a game; you got to play sixty minutes."
Although effort was the main problem of the night, the usually strong penalty kill (which let in one goal in last 21 attempts) let in two goals and this may be attributed to poor goaltending. For the second game in a row goalie Eddie Lack gave up four goals, some of which were easy.
"We challenged Eddie to play better and wanted to give a guy an opportunity coming back," said MacTavish on why he went with Lack instead of goalie Matt Clime, who has won six of his last seven starts.
The power play did score an uncharacteristic goal as they were just 2-29 going into the game. Haydar says that the key to getting the power play on track is execution, getting shots to the net, and cutting down on turnovers.
The Wolves take on Illinois Lottery Cup rival, Rockford Icehogs in Rockford on Friday. "We got to go to work and show up to play," said Haydar. "We can't expect some guys to show up and some guys to take the night off."
The Wolves hope they can find their winning ways against Rockford this weekend.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a rather generous light brown foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of warming brandy/bourbon notes with light vanilla with some residual sugar notes is very enticing. Taste is a great mix between some syrupy brandy and bourbon notes with notes of vanilla that are also discernible and some well-balanced residual sugar notes. Body is quite full with great carbonation and light warming alcohol notes are slightly noticeable. I thought this was a great improvement over last year barrel-aged treatment and well-balanced for such an extreme beer.

Poured from a 750ml bottle into a stemmed tulip glass and shared with friends during a holiday bottle share.
A: A deep dark brown color that gives rise to a 1-2 fingers of mocha head with decent retention and some nice lacing.
S: The nose is really complex, not just a massive bourbon blast, but rather a nice boozy fragrance allowing some roasted malts, coffee and dark chocolate to come through and some vanilla and a bit of wood.
T: Again, just really nice balance of rich flavors. Big dark chocolate flavor, lots of sweet boozy brandy but not overpowering; brown sugar, molasses, vanilla. A bit of hot alcohol. Absolutely delicious!
M: Low carbonation and a big body; smooth and round.
O: What impressed me most about this beer is the balanced complexity; it is both big and bold while still exhibiting restraint. This bottle was served with the 2010 version and was unanimously agreed to be the superior version. Very well done LTM!

Many thanks to Papat444 for this bottle.
The beer is jet black with a small tan head. Head fades quickly, leaves just a touch of lace.
Nose is very rich, with bourbon, brandy and chocolate all jumping out strongly. Vanilla and oak. Some roasted scents. The bourbon and brandy scent mix well together.
Taste is very good indeed. Like the nose, the bourbon and brandy are both quite present. They mix well together, the bourbon imparting some sweetness and the brandy a more aggressive heat that cuts the sweetness a bit. Chocolate and some roast malt flavours are right behind, as well as vanilla from the bourbon. The barrels are strong but they do not obscure the beer, which is great in itself. I don't pick up on the tart cherry flavours that I usually get in the base beer- perhaps the barrels drown it out.
Full bodied, low carbonation level. A bit syrupy, but generally very smooth.
Overall, a terrific beer. Nice twist on a great beer.

Pitch black and very smooth. Little head present on pour which quickly dissipates. Very similar to their Porter Baltique, which almost tastes like a milk stout crossed with a baltic porter to me. Slight scent and taste from the bourbon barrels. Not overpowering like some bourbon aged beers, but I feel like I expected more bourbon to it. The 10.5% abv definitely warms the inside on the way down. Perfect for cold winter evenings at this time of year.

I never mention bitterness in my reviews, my bitterness taste buds are ridiculously under-
APPEARANCE : Dark brown with a mocha head that doesn't rise very much and backs down pretty quickly - just as should be expected. Not nearly as opaque as I had expected it to be though.
SMELL : First nose is heavy roasted malts with coffee and chocolate notes and a certain boozy warmth. Some fruity and nutty notes are also present. Second nose opens up the hop profile with a vegetal side emerging. Deep chocolate notes. Third nose follows along, but with more booze.
TASTE : There's smoke that wasn't there on the nose and ooh man, what a rich palette. Multilayered, complex, precise. You can taste both types of barrel, bourbon and brandy. The booze gives an amazingly pleasing warmth that stays with you long after you've downed your sip. Hops are very present, but blend themselves superbly with the coffee side of the roasted malts.
MOUTHFEEL : Coats the mouth. Pleasantly low carbonation leaves all the room to the aromas and the amplitude of the beer itself.
OVERALL : Among the very best stouts I've had the pleasure of tasting, and definitely the best stout I've had that come from my homeland.

Like a growing number of people, you made a choice to watch WDRB news. Maybe you're just an occasional viewer, or maybe you're a regular viewer and you think of WDRB as "your television station." If you're old enough, you've watched WDRB grow from "Presto the Clown" in the '70s to a charter Fox affiliate in the '80s, to a station that proudly launched a half-hour ten o'clock newscast in 1990. Today, WDRB produces more local news than any other station in town – fifty two and a half hours a week – and it's all closed captioned.
During a period of time when you seem to hear a lot about a slow economy, we're a business that is growing rapidly. WDRB has had the three best years in our history during this recession. At a time when you're constantly reminded of the latest unemployment numbers, we've hired 33 people since 2008 with no layoffs or furloughs. We added fourteen last month alone with the addition of our weekend morning news. We're growing so quickly that we've outgrown our facility. Rather than relocate a few miles away and try to finagle a tax incentive, we choose to expand our current building by 12,000 square feet and reinvest in downtown Louisville.
I tell you this not to boast, but to highlight what I've said before. We can be timid victims of the economy or we can aggressively find ways to flourish in tough times. We chose to flourish. We're optimistic about the future, we love our city, and with your support we're going to keep growing!
I'm Bill Lamb…and that's my Point of View.

(WMC-TV) - A fight for a family tree in North Mississippi came to a head Wednesday as county officials tore down a tree that had been standing for decades for a growing interstate.
Crews were on Interstate 269 in DeSoto County and took down the tree, as instructed by the North Mississippi Transportation Commissioner.
The tree was there for more than a hundred years and a family nearby didn't want to see it go.
The land and home with a front row view of the construction has been in Alvin Boyce's family for decades.
The tall shagbark hickory tree had been there all along.
"To me it's a landmark, my granddaddy, and great grand daddy and them come in here as slaves and was able to buy this land and pay for it, and we've been here," said Boyce.
Boyce is clear that he's not against the construction, or progress the loop could bring the county. He just wanted to keep his family tree.
North Mississippi Transportation Commissioner said the tree needed to be torn down for safety reasons.

Harry Potter Movies Need to Stay True to the Book!
We all love Harry Potter. We read the books, and when a movie comes out, stampede into the movie theatres at 10 PM to wait for a 12:01 AM movie. We finally see the movie, and get very angry because the director changed the plot that was COMPLETELY PERFECT the way J.K. Rowling made it! We all get angry and then post how they can make the movies better, and we have found a common thread. If you can make movies like Titanic and Lord of the Rings super long, why not Harry Potter The last two books are the most important ones, and if they are done wrong, many Harry fans will be very frustrated! So we propose, why not keep it true to the book Even if it's 4 or 5 hours long, TRUE Harry fans will watch every second!

Restoring the Common Tern
Jun 26, 2002 — The Common Tern is a bird best known for its graceful flight and dramatic dives. The shoals and nooks of the eastern Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River shoreline have been some of the tern's best nesting habitat in North America. But over the past 50 years, the area's tern population has dropped dramatically, from 20,000 to only 2000. Now the tern's a threatened species in New York.

Army Corps Seaway Study Points Toward Expansion
May 31, 2002 — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is putting the finishing touches on a preliminary study of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway system - what Corps officials call a "snapshot" of shipping on the waters. It recommends a more detailed, and more expensive, study that would consider building wider locks and deeper channels for bigger ships. Any possible construction would be years or even decades away. But seaway expansion critics are determined to stop the process in its tracks. David Sommerstein has this report. Go to full article
Heat on the Corps: What Costs, Who Benefits?
May 30, 2002 — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently completed an economic analysis on the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System. It calls for a more detailed study to consider the costs and benefits of deepening the St. Lawrence River for larger freighters. After several reports that the Corps has been playing fast and loose with the numbers to justify big water projects, the Corps has suspended about 150 projects to conduct limited reviews. It's unclear whether this is a tactical public relations move by the Corps or a genuine attempt to better determine whether the projects are truly needed.

The Commercial-News
HOOPESTON — City council members Tuesday unanimously approved the Champaign Regional Plan Commission contract not to exceed $10,000.
Susan Chavarria, regional planning manager of Urbana's Planning & Community Development, brought a proposal before the council last month to help Hoopeston create an economic development strategy and steps to develop a plan of action. Local leaders would then implement the plan.
"The ecomomic development committee is willing to take the lead with council involvement," said Bill Nichols, committee member and president of Community Bank of Hoopeston. "We will develop our own plan with their guidance."
He added the economic development committee requested help from the Champaign Regional Plan Commission.
"We were stuck," he said, "and needed a tool."
Western Illinois University and the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs partnered in Mapping the Future of Hoopeston: Action Plan in 2007, however, after Western Illinois University left, nothing was ever implemented.
"It gathered dust," commented Alderman Bill Goodwine, "No one ran with it."
Alderman Randy Carter agreed the council did not stand up and take a piece of the plan in 2007's mapping of Hoopeston. He said, "Everyone knows what needs to be done but this group can jump start us."
Nichols agreed,"They can lead you to the resources but in the end, it's up to us."
In other council business, Mike Streff, Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC, reported a bid correction for Leander Construction. Originally the $12,064 contingency fund was over-estimated. However, $7,941 was underestimated in the aeriation treatment item and that amount would be moved to the aeriation treatment. Hoopeston would receive a $4,623 credit in the contract. The bid correction was approved unanimously. Streff added the council would have to approve a change order at the next council meeting.
The next Hoopeston city council meeting will be Tuesday, January 21, 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 301 West Main Street.

Hi all,
I'm new to coding for mobile devices, though not to programming in general. However, I've finally bitten the bullet and decided I'll look into learning to write software for my somewhat elderly Nokia 3100. I've taken a look at the product details page:
and from the various links around there I gather I need to write J2ME rather than C++. Fair enough - I did a little Java several years ago, although for preference I code in Delphi. I also gather from reading some material on these forums that the free JBuilder Foundation doesn't interface with the Nokia SDKs - is this correct?
On the assumption that it is, I went looking for Sun ONE Studio, as specified in the Getting Started PDF, only to find that the product appears to be discontinued and / or no longer free (if it ever was?). So I've downloaded NetBeans instead - is this likely to cause any problems?
I also notice from the 3100 product page that the 3300 SDK is recommended for this device, although the Series 40 API overview link on the same page suggests using the 7210 as the reference device, along with the tools and docs for this phone. Hmmm. Somewhere in my downloading frenzy I've acquired a file that contains both Nokia_7210_MIDP_SDK_v1_0 and Series_60_MIDP_Concept_SDK_Beta_0_3_Nokia_edition. Can't recall which zip they were in offhand but while NetBeans seems happy enough to use the series 60 SDK it doesn't seem to like the 7210 SDK. It does, however, accept the 3300 SDK that I've just downloaded.
This being the case, what, if any, are the significant differences between the 3100 and the 3300? I'm assuming that code written using the 3300 SDK will run on the 3100, but are there any differences that I should be aware of? And is there an emulator that's specific to the 3100?
Pardon me if these are all really trivial points - I'll no doubt get the hang of this eventually!

Officers had to keep an open mind, say police
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said:
"All lines of inquiry were considered in the early stages of the investigation. The investigation was detailed and complex and officers had a duty to explore every avenue of inquiry and retain an open mind about the circumstances.
"They carried out numerous actions including door-to-door inquiries, leaflet drops, searches, interviews and forensic analyses.
"The CCTV evidence took some time to collate and analyse but then clearly showed a veiled suspect trailing the victim before the attack.
"Konye was arrested as the investigation progressed."

National Signing Day is over for the California Golden Bears, and it looks as if Jeff Tedford and Cal football survived the worst of the Tosh Lupoi debacle.
The departure of Cal defensive line Tosh Lupoi could mean Arik Armstead, Aziz Shittu, Ellis McCarthy and Shaq Thompson start looking around.
Zach Kline & Darius Powe Under Armour Video Highlights
There's an All-Star game with plenty of Cal commits/recruits in a few hours (and CGB will have an open thread for that), but if you want to pass the time and have nothing to do at work, Zach Kline, Darius Powe are doing work on ESPNU from 1-4 PM PT.
Click the link above to watch it on ESPN3 starting at the top of the hour. Ok I lied, it apparently is only on ESPNU. Stupid ESPN3.
Other Cal targets at the game: OT Joey O'Connor, DT Eddie Goldman, ATH Davonte Neal. The game will be January 5th at 4:30 PM, and CGB will have an open thread for that contest.
Cal football received a commitment from Lakewood wide receiver Darius Powe, who made a verbal to the California Golden Bears.
Let's take our first look at the list of prospects that the Califoria Golden Bears are targeting for the 2012 football class. Which big targets will Cal land this fall?
With all the recruiting servers now up-to-date and the majority of Cal offers out there, it's time to reveal our 2012 Cal football recruiting board! Click here for the current spreadsheet. I...
For those wanting a list of recruits who were here this weekend, here they are. QB Zach Kline is a firm Cal verbal. S Shaq Thompson verballed to Cal this weekend. Along the O-line, Jordan Simmons said the Cal visit was better than either the USC or UCLA visits. Kyle Murphy, Josh Garnett, Freddie Tagaloa, and Garrett Adcock also visited. Lots of WRs: Bryce Treggs had positive things to say, and Darius Powe and Malik Gilmore also visited. WR Jordan Payton and Jaydon Mickens (both USC commits) also visited, as did Kenny Walker. RBs: Byron Marshall and KeiVarae Russell might be interested in playing together. Also in attendance: LB Hardy Nickerson Jr. & Michael Barton, QB, TE Ian Taubler & Jalen Cope-Fitzpatrick, CB Ryan Dillard, DB Dalis Bruce. Check out the full story and all the quotes on the link above. (HT Redonkulous Bear for finding this article)

Swedish cooperation with NATO is based on a longstanding policy of military non-alignment and a firm national consensus. From this basis, Sweden is not pursuing NATO membership, but selects areas of cooperation with NATO that match joint objectives.
The Allies view Sweden as an effective and pro-active partner and contributor to international security, which shares key values such as the promotion of international security, democracy and human rights.
An important area of cooperation is the country's support for NATO-led operations. Sweden is currently contributing to the peacekeeping operations in Kosovo and Afghanistan, and is planning to contribute to the post-2014 mission in Afghanistan. In the past, it supported the NATO-led operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Sweden is one of the Alliance's most active partners. It has been cooperating with NATO since the creation of the Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme in 1994 and has since been utilising partnership tools to expand this relationship and exchange knowledge and experience with Allied and partner countries in a myriad of different fields.

In the months leading up to my daughter's birth, I daydreamed about the postdelivery experience. I imagined tired but blissed-out smiles, instinctive breastfeeding, and a pair of earrings my own mother had given me. For some reason, I really wanted to be wearing those earrings when I gave birth.
Of course, real life didn't unfold quite like that …
Almost immediately after Little G joined the world, my doctor began stitching up my episiotomy. I was in extreme discomfort. Meanwhile, my hubby (a.k.a. the baby daddy) started to snap the first of thousands of pictures of our new little love, who was being cared for by nurses a few feet from the labor and delivery bed.
At last, they placed Little G in my arms. She was crying. I tried to nurse her; it didn't work. I felt so awkward holding her. Even more upsetting … I did not feel like this baby girl's mama.
"Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother," Oprah Winfrey once said. That quote replayed itself in my head in the days and weeks following Little G's birth. Nurturing my daughter inside of me didn't mean I automatically knew how to care for her now, I discovered.
After six weeks or so (and about 400 diaper changes, feedings, and lullabies later), life with Little G became more intuitive. She began sleeping for longer stretches of time at night, too, and the extra sleep did so much good for me. And then she smiled at me — her first real smile at me — and I began to make a connection with her, the way I had thought I would the minute she was born.
One of the first lessons I learned, as a newbie parent, is that a bond with your baby love can take time to develop. Stefanie Wilder-Taylor writes about this, too, in her book Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay: And Other Things I Had to Learn as a New Mom. She notes, "When you're pregnant, people constantly assure you that you will feel this incredible, overwhelming love for your baby … the very second your sweet little bundle is placed into your waiting arms …But it is not a sure thing … Please don't freak out if your heart doesn't instantly dissolve into love jelly." I imagine a similar sentiment may hold true for parents who adopt their children. Everything is just so new.
I very much appreciate that the San Antonio Express-News and mySA.com have welcomed me here, to write about first-time parenthood for this blog every Tuesday and to have conversations with you all about this topic, and parenthood in general. My professional background, though, is in writing and editing, not parenting. So, I'm here simply to share some stories and lessons learned, and to invite you to do the same.
I look forward to connecting with you, and to having sincere and respectful conversations with you, with the hope that we can offer one another something helpful, resourceful, perhaps even inspirational.
When did you begin to feel connected to your new child? And if you've been a parent for a while now, how do you maintain a connection with your child? Any everyday traditions or routines, for example?

Rich Lowry Smacks Down Eleanor Clift: 'You're Talking Out of Both Sides of Your Mouth'
There was a moment on this weekend's "McLaughlin Group" that is guaranteed to make conservatives all around the country smile from ear to ear.
After Newsweek's Eleanor Clift predictably attacked Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) and his just-released budget proposal, National Review's Rich Lowry caught her in a serious contradiction and said, "With all due respect, Eleanor, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ELEANOR CLIFT, NEWSWEEK: Paul Ryan's budget is not going to go anywhere because even Republicans aren't going to fully support it. I give him credit. He's a serious legislator, but it's a deeply flawed document. It makes wild claims about reducing unemployment. At one point he said 2-point something percent, and then the Heritage Foundation where he allegedly got the number quickly scrubbed that number from their website and adjusted it up to 4-point something percent which he can't really document.
So, there are wild claims he can't back up and second, two-thirds of the heaviest cuts come from the poorest people in this country, and he rewards people at the top, which would only accelerate the distance between the super-rich and everybody else in this country. So it's a starting point for conversation, which we need to have, and you know, I think he has given the politically he's given the Democrats a great gift because his comments about Medicare and Medicaid are simply too good to not demonize.
So, Clift admitted that she and her beloved Democrats are going to demonize Ryan and his budget. Got to give her credit for at least being honest.
But she didn't stop there:
CLIFT: He's a hero in the small segment of the electorate and that is the conservatives who think that liberal programs are the fault of everything that's going wrong. The rest of the country depends on those liberal programs, and he wants to turn Medicare into what is called a premium support program.
JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, HOST: Right. What is wrong with that?
CLIFT: Well, what is wrong with it is the government then pays a certain premium as health care costs go up.
RICH LOWRY, NATIONAL REVIEW: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
MCLAUGHLIN: Is there any way…
LOWRY: This is a key point.
MCLAUGHLIN: Is there any way…
CLIFT: As costs go up, the recipient then bears the cost. He touts support from Alice Rivlin, who has said she does not support the plan as he has put it all. And also he gets credit for all this courage, but he doesn't touch anybody over the age of 55 because they're the ones who vote!
Amazing. So, on the one hand, Clift complained that Ryan was taking benefits away from people that depend on them, but he's a coward for not taking them away from people over the age of 55.
Makes you wonder how this woman does at intersections with stop signs in every direction.
Moments later, Lowry pointed out another Clift hypocrisy:
LOWRY: With all due respect, Eleanor, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth because five minutes ago you're saying how this is going to get demagogued and so politically vulnerable. Then you turn around and say he's not politically courageous. Of course he's politically courageous, even to touch these programs for people under 55.
And this is a key thing about Medicare: Medicare is a driver of health care inflation in this country. And what Ryan is trying to do is inject an element of market competition into health care that is not there now.
MCLAUGHLIN: Right! Right!
LOWRY: Medicare is a giant check-writing operation that drives fraud and costs up.
CLIFT: And Medicare is the most popular and the most efficient program in this country.
LOWRY: It's not efficient! It is not. No one, no serious health care economist would say Medicare is efficient.
Yeah, Medicare is so efficient it's guaranteed to go bankrupt when the baby boomers retire unless serious changes are made to it.
Of course, what Lowry marvelously exposed here is something conservatives that have been watching the "McLaughlin Group" and/or reading Newsweek have known for years: Clift is legendary for talking out of both sides of her mouth.
She would have had a far more successful career as a ventriloquist, although given her grasp on the facts and reality, possibly on someone's lap rather than the other way around.
Nicely done, Rich. Bravo!

This dingy broad is all over the place! While her left-wing friends may cheer her fruitcake of assorted gummed over soundbites, it took Lowery all of ten seconds to slice open her stale, ossified logic and reveal it to be as old as the mummified windbag herself.
No wonder the party that plays Santa Claus year round is the subject of so many punch lines. I take that back. For that analogy to be accurate, Santa would have to break into people's houses through the chimneys, rob the unsuspecting blind, and then redistribute the gifts to his unionized elves.

Can't the libs and the media just cut to the chase: Go ahead and standardize on a chanting/screeching point that Ryan is an "extremist" and a "racist", ala the marching orders Schumer gave on how to refer to the Tea Party?
Just saw a Daily Beast piece listing Ryan as one of the most "ignorant" politicians in America. That should put things into perspective for you as far a the level of empty-headedness and hatred that permeates the left these days. They also listed Bachman because she misspoke about the state of NH or something, although for some reason, Obama didn't make the list, despite not knowing how many states there are.

Submitted by jdhawk on Sun, 04/10/2011 - 11:45pm.
Eleanor Clift falls off the edge of the planet - so what? Oh! Wait! She is talking out of both sides of her mouth - that's news?
The real issue is that our Republicon representatives do not have what it takes to stand up to this president and the dimocrat controlled senate and bring even this year's deficit spending under control. They are patting themselves on the back because they have an agreement to cut $40 billion dollars from a $3.7 trillion dollar budget. A $40 billion dollar budget cut is pocket lint, it is chump change, it is . . . .
If that is true - and it is - then how the hell do you expect Ryan's 2012 budget proposal to go anywhere. He and his staff wasted a great deal of time and money for no good reason. His budget proposal is DOA.
Do . . . do . . . do . . . do . . . . Hello? Is anyone home? Are you all nuts?

Efficiency means something different to a liberal
Submitted by c5then on Mon, 04/11/2011 - 8:30am.
When they say a program is efficient what they mean is that it does a really good job of re-distributing wealth. They think that the economy is a perpetual motion machine and that they just need to get the right ballance of factors and then the rich will fully fund the system by taking money out of their right pocket, giving it to the government who in turn buys services from them by putting money back into their left pocket. All the while the "poor" get a free ride on the system.
This is the magic system that Keynes thought he could develop.

Supporters and opponents debate Keystone Pipeline
More than seven and a half hours of testimony is planned into tonight (Thursday) in Grand Island by the U.S. State Department into the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline. The department will eventually make a recommendation to the president on whether to proceed with the project. In early testimony today (Thursday) Nebraska property owner Randy Thompson said he was there to help defend the property rights of Nebraska landowners.
Representatives of Native American Indian tribes were the first to testify against the project. One treaty council representative, Armando L. Iron Elk Sr., said some consider the trespassing on treaty territory as an act of war against the Sioux nation.
Supporters claim the pipeline will provides America with energy independence and jobs.

After the previous show focused on Bray Wyatt's issues with Bo Dallas, the March 20th episode of the HuluPlus offering opened with a reminder about the Wyatt Family's history with the NXT tag champs, Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey. Following their loss to the Brits in the tag tournament finals, the group attacked and "injured" Grey.
Last week, Neville swore revenge and said that he would take on the pair of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan with a partner of NXT Commissioner Dusty Rhodes choosing. There was apparently some miscommunication between Neville and the booking team, as this week's main event is announced as Adrian versus Harper one-on-one.
A business-like Justin Gabriel makes his way to the ring for our first bout.
Leo Kruger defeats Justin Gabriel
in approximately ten minutes via submission
- The story here is that Gabriel is matching Kruger's level of viciousness. His entrance kept the fan interaction and leaping around to a minimum, and he answers every strike and hair pull from the bigger man with one of his own. The high flier convincingly throws the hunter around, impressing with a power style we don't often get to see him work.
- The announce team is playing up their history together in their homeland. William Regal notes that they were trained by the same man. I swear he says "Donnie Brooks" - which is a fantastic name for a pro wrestler. The only thing I can confirm on the interwebs is that they were both trained by JG's father, Paul Lloyd, Senior.
- Neither man takes control of the match, as we get a steady stream of dueling strikes punctuated with occasional kicks from the Capetown werewolf (who really stays on the ground for this one) and rest holds (focused on Gabriel's left arm) by Kruger. Leo does have a nice spinebuster, and we get to see one mid-match and that leads to a submission attempt via an inverted key lock on the left arm. Justin makes it to the ropes to break the hold.
- The former Nexus member looks to have the upperhand following a leg hook reverse STO when he heads to the top rope for his finisher, but his opponent rolls out of the ring. When Gabriel chases, Kruger gives him the old thumb to the eye and slingshots his damaged wing off the top rope. He then cinches in the arm lock again, this time mid-ring, for the tap out victory.
Renee Young is backstage with (mai gurl) Audrey Marie. AM sells menace well in a brief interview concerning her beef with Sasha Banks. Last time she got to Banks because she didn't know Audrey was coming for her; this time she knows, and there's still nothing she can do about it.
Even NXT is not above showing us that damn Rock-Cena video package. You know the one I'm talking about. Because it airs on EVERY WWE PROGRAM.
Sorry. Sometimes I get annoyed. I watch NXT to stay away from that stuff, you know?
It's okay, though. A real man's man is in the ring to save us (and there are a few of us in the crowd who do a short chant of Regal's old entrance theme, which was totally sweet). William tells us that he is sorry for his unprofessional behavior last week, and calls out Kassius Ohno so he can apologize to him personally.
KO is leery as he makes his way ringside, and Regal tells him that he regrets hitting him last week but that he intervened in order to keep Kassius from being like him - someone who is kept awake at night thinking through the evil deeds of a long career.
Ohno refuses Regal's offered hand and talks about how he grew up idolizing the ruthless viciousness that he demonstrated in his prime. He name drops the Best in the World when he speaks of he and CM Punk making a trip cross country to discuss tactics and learn from the former Sir Steven, and then travel the world to follow the path that he did.
But now he doesn't want the commentator's advice and he certainly doesn't want his career. Kassius says that Regal has no legacy; that he's a joke who will only be remembered by fans for kissing Vince McMahon's ass. That last bit gets him punched right in his mug.
End scene with Ohno backing up the ramp looking shocked as Regal hangs his head in regret. Good stuff.
Paige defeats Bayley
in approximately two and a half minutes via submission
- Bayley is the ring name of Shimmer alumna Davina Rose. She's a young, natural looking brunette who is given the jobber entrance here. For you Diva marks, pics and profile are on the roster page here. As is usually the case, I preferred her non-glamour shot-ified indy look.
- Both women work well in this brief match that's just here to establish the Anti-Divas return from injury. Bayley's time against Canadian NINJAs and other indy vets has served her well as she convincingly attacks and applies painful looking holds to Paige's injured shoulder.
- Nifty sequence for the finish where Hell in Boots charges the corner but ducks under a kick attempt by the newcomer and catches the leg. She flips Bayley over, applies a cloverleaf and earns the submission win.
Post-match, Summer Rae attempts to sneak attack Paige, but the Englishwoman is ready for her. The blonde bails and returns to the back while the victor shrieks to the delight of her fans at Full Sail Live.
More Wrestlemania hype via a video for Undertaker - Punk. Maybe it's just that I haven't seen this one forty times already, but it didn't bother me nearly as much.
Next week's episode is the "NXT Wrestlemania Special". Le sigh.
Luke Harper defeats Adrian Neville
in approximately eight minutes via pinfall
- Standard, no frills entrances for both men. The family accompanies Harper and sets up Bray's rocker, but no speechifying this week.
- Also standard is the opening sequence - typical big man versus quick guy affair. Neville works the legs and attempts to avoid the big hillbilly. Harper slams and strikes the UK native every time he catches him.
- Harper has never really clicked for me, going back to when he was Brodie Lee. He moves great for a guy his size, so it's probably the character-type that turns me off. Regardless, he plays it to the hilt. He could be a henchman in a Rob Zombie movie. My favorite bit in this match has him groaning while he nudges Neville up from a prone position using his forehead. Luke then locks in a chinlock that he holds while he rolls Adrian through a series of slams, all while keeping his weight on the smaller man.
- Initially Harper doesn't seem interested in the pinfall, just wanting to inflict pain. But after Adrian launches a small comeback, Bray's acolyte lands a devastating backbreaker followed by a big boot and repeatedly attempts to cover only to net two counts each time. Frustrated, he looks to his leader for guidance, but gets no reaction (Wyatt is all about tough love).
- This gives the Man that Gravity Forgot an opening, and he uses it to attack the head and go up top for a drop kick. That's too close for comfort for the Family, and Bray dispatches Rowan down to help out. He dodges attacks from both men and everyone ends up on the floor, where Neville and Wyatt engage in a stare down.
- Back in the ring, Adrian hits a vicious-looking spinning DDT, but instead of going for a cover, he heads to the ropes for his finisher. Wyatt jumps on the apron and draws the referee's attention while Erick closes in on Neville. The jumpin' Geordie is able to fend off the red beard, but doesn't see Harper's clothesline coming. Three slaps of the mat later, Luke is getting his hand raised.
That's not enough for Bray though, as he instructs his charges to inflict some more punishment on the tag champ. A bandaged up Grey runs in to make the save, but falls to the Family's numbers as well.
But here comes Bo Dallas! Oliver is back up! So is his partner! We've got a street fight on our hands!
The faces clear the ring and stand tall. The bad guys glare at them from the stage as the show comes to a close.
I figured the Family's two feuds would come together. I just thought that, based on Neville's interview last week and reports of Grey being legitimately injured, it would start with Adrian and Bo tagging. Either way, this should be fun.
A better show than last week, and while there weren't many matches, the ones we got delivered a satisfying amount of action and story. The drama in all of these conflicts feels real, but isn't quite amped up enough yet to be really great. We'll call this one a B. And hope that next week isn't a clip show of Mania hype...
Thanks for waiting this one out Cagesiders; we should be back to our usual Thursday publishing date next week.
Let us know what you thought about this week's show or our reaction to it in the comments!

Worcester County Elder Abuse Roundtable
Established in 2005, the Roundtable is a coalition dedicated to elder abuse prevention, protection, outreach and education. Our professional members include local & state law enforcement officials, elder services agencies, domestic violence agencies and community service organizations. The coalition is an outcome of a 2002 Training Grant to Stop Abuse and Sexual Assault Against Older Individuals or Individuals with Disabilities Program. The Roundtable is currently facilitated by The Molly Bish Center at Anna Maria College.
The Roundtable is not a direct service provider of elder protective services, but our members are.
