He was barely able to walk when he first jumped on a bike as a toddler - and loved it.
The Ulster and Irish titles have came in just his second year racing and now he is planning to move up to compete in the 65cc class.
Ross's third season in the sport kicks off in March.
Under the watchful of eyes of his father Bobby and brother Stewart, both former champions themselves, the Co Down youngster's career is definitely on the right track.
His proud dad told UTV: "He's one of the youngest ones to win both the Irish and the Ulster at the same time, most of the riders would normally win it in their final year."
However, Bobby pointed out that his son achieved this earlier than usual - the year before he plans to leave the 50cc category.
Between school and other activities, Ross manages to get in two practise sessions a week.
The primary school pupil said of his achievements to date: "I felt really proud and happy and I love motorcross because you get to race and meet people."

I have recently come across several feet of plastic tubing. ID ranges from .25'' to .75''. I am experimenting using coloured floss and beads, cutting the tubing into 'beads' with seed beads strung inside, some various peyote patterns twisted inside chunks, painting the tubing, and seed bead embroidery around the tubes, including peyote tubes and just strings wrapped around, passed through with a very large needle for some interesting effects.
I'm wondering if anyone else has played with tubing/has any inspiration or something I just have to try....
it's all fun, it just looks kind of 'kid' ish.
You see those bushes over there? I've tried them berries green, and I've tried 'em red, and I've tried 'em brown. And I have come to the conclusion that they just ain't good berries! --Tommy, the Aging Groundskeeper at the Community College
I know that this lady experiments with clear plastic tubing to add strength to her pieces and help them hold the shape, for example in this piece, a bangle:
Sadly she shut down her blog and does not show her fabulous beadwork anymore. But maybe you can find some inspiration in her old posts.
In the finished piece swap we did a while ago Jeni sent me a fabric bangle, where she put a plastic tube inside to hold the shape, wrapped it with fabric and sealed it with mod podge. Might be another idea.
I have made two memory wire bracelets using tubing, saw some in one of the beading magazines, though I would give it a try. I cut small sections of the tubing, strung it on the memory wire and added beads and dangles between the sections of wire. They turned out better than I had hoped, I have a couple of shows coming up so I'll let you know what kind of response I get. I used black and brown tubing so you don't see the memory wire. I also just found some frosted white tubing and I'm going to adapt an idea I saw to make a lariat. For this one you string beading wire through the tubing. I have several different colors of beading wire that I want to try running through the plastic tubing and see if it changes the look of the tubing.
I also used the memory wire to run through some etched silver tubes I have and again added beads and it came out nicely. I'm going to be making more of all of these bracelets using the plastic tubing and the metal tubes. If I can ever figure out how to photograph my jewelry with my digital camera I'll post some pics.
Hope I helped give you some ideas. Good luck.
Thanks for the feedback, guys! I'll have to do something about the fact that it's clear if I want to use it as beads, it just looks funky. But I hadn't even thought of using it to hold the shape *silly me*. LOVE the bangle in the link you posted, kokopelli.
I need to do some more with tubing. I wanted to try filling clear tubing with seed beads as in the book "Fabulous Fabric Beads" but I didn't have anything to seal the ends with. I need to find a better solution for that. The bangles I've done turned out pretty well and I plan to make more of them. I've done both beaded and fabric versions.

The newspaper was first published on 1 October 1843, in London by John Browne Bell. Priced at just three pence, even before the repeal of the Stamp Act (1855) or paper duty (1861), it was the cheapest newspaper of its time and was aimed directly at the newly literate working classes. It quickly established itself as a purveyor of titillation, shock and criminal news. Much of the source material came from coverage of vice prosecutions, including transcripts of police descriptions of alleged brothels, streetwalkers, and 'immoral' women.And here's a fun snippet from the current Wiki page:
The News of the World was a filth-ridden, excrement laden, English national tabloid newspaper published in the United Kingdom which has FINALLY BEEN FLUSHED AWAY down the toilet. Founded in 1843, the paper will cease publication after the 10 July 2011 edition in the wake of a phone hacking scandalposted by filthy light thief at 10:01 AM on July 7, 2011 [4 favorites]
People (on Sky and Twitter) are saying that News of the World staff were told Brooks offered to resign twice last night, but was refused and the paper closed instead. Incredible stuffHow can you be forced not to resign after being told the alternative is many of the people who worked for you will lose their jobs? IF you offer your resignation and then are told, now we're going to make you a hate figure for a load of people who rake muck for a living. Surely you'd be on the news with a fine selection of swords to fall on.
In addition, I have decided that all of the News of the World's revenue this weekend will go to good causes.posted by sillygwailo at 11:29 AM on July 7, 2011
While we may never be able to make up for distress that has been caused, the right thing to do is for every penny of the circulation revenue we receive this weekend to go to organisations – many of whom are long-term friends and partners – that improve life in Britain and are devoted to treating others with dignity.

History of British newspapers.
"Many of us must have been intrigued over the years about whether the famously intrepid News of the World investigators really made their excuses and left the scenes of depravity that they were helpfully bringing to our attention. Sue and Bob, armed with audio and visual aids, answered that question, at least as far as the chief crime reporter of the News of the World, Neville Thurlbeck, was concerned. After he had plastered on a double-page spread a story entitled "The guesthouse where all rooms come with en suite pervert", he was unmasked by the couple's videotape as the pervert who badgered, begged and finally bribed Bob and Sue into allowing him to indulge in a rather pathetic act of onanism at the foot of their bed."via
"The couple even posted stills showing an aroused Thurlbeck on the Web, where they remained for several years before being taken down around the time of the Mosley scandal. I must have been one of the last people to see them."posted by unliteral at 5:51 PM on July 7, 2011

Bernard Woolley: "Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits."
[F]urious that the paper was about to be scooped by The Sunday Times's serialization of a biography of Prince Charles, Ms. Brooks disguised herself as a Times cleaning woman and hid for two hours in a bathroom, according to [Piers] Morgan. When the presses started rolling, she ran over, grabbed a newly printed copy of The Sunday Times, and brought it back to The News of the World — which proceeded to use the material, verbatim, in its own paper the next day.It also features an anecdote starring Metafilter's Own Tom Watson, MP:
As part of her anti-pedophile campaign, she printed photographs of convicted sex offenders in an effort to "name and shame" them. The campaign backfired when it turned out that some of the photographs showed the wrong people and when vigilantes began harassing and threatening men who they thought were pedophiles.
Tom Watson, a Labour member of Parliament, recalled what happened to him in 2006, shortly after he resigned his position in Tony Blair's government and called for Mr. Blair's resignation. The political editor of The Sun, George Pascoe-Watson, approached him at the Labour Party conference in Manchester. The Sun was then an ardent Labour supporter.posted by goodnewsfortheinsane at 7:00 PM on July 7, 2011 [2 favorites]
" 'My editor, Rebekah Wade, will pursue you for the rest of your life. You will never escape us, my friend,' " Mr. Watson said Mr. Pascoe-Watson told him. "Those were his exact words."
"The consultation on undertakings in lieu offered by News Corporation in relation to their proposed merger with BSkyB closes at midday today. The secretary of state has always been clear that he will take as long as is needed to reach a decision. The secretary of state will consider carefully all the responses submitted and take advice from Ofcom and the Office of Fair Trading before reaching his decision. Given the volume of responses, we anticipate that this will take some time. He will consider all relevant factors including whether the announcement regarding the News of the World's closure has any impact on the question of media plurality."
Amidst all this grisly murk, the day has at least seen a couple of moments of unintended comedy to lighten the gloom.Bagehot's notebook
The first is this detail from the Guardian, which I shall treasure for a while:
News International (NI) continued its internal investigation into phone hacking at the News of the World. Senior sources said they were examining whether former News of the World journalists may have kept money claimed on company expenses instead of passing it on to police officers in exchange for stories. Paying police officers is itself illegal.
Jesus, were the editorial staff bathing in the blood of virgins on a nightly basis or something?It would have to be criminal, it would have to be heinous (basically kids) and the paper would have to be working with the police otherwise it would've come out by now. Something along the lines of they knew about Huntley, passed it to the police and both kept quiet in the interests of profit.
If she predicts a dark day for the company, what she MEANS is a dark day for herThere's been rumours about some very nasty goings-on at News International for a good few years, and this last couple of days a few people (journalists) have said this (Dowler) isn't the worse thing they've heard.
Can it really be the case, as Friday's Independent put it, that the News of the World has been "sacrificed to save one woman"? And if so, why?posted by grouse at 4:49 PM on July 8, 2011
There is a rumor that Brooks gave a cell phone to at least one victim of a sex offender (a few years ago, when the phones were less common, more expensive) "to keep in touch" and the paper monitored calls to/from the phone(s).That would be Sara Payne.
"One example of their support was to give me a phone to help me stay in touch with my family, friends and support network, which turned out to be an absolute lifeline.Hmm, I'm assuming this is now being seen as less helpful than first thought.
But one should be wary of the response to the News of the World scandal, especially in terms of how it affects press freedoms going forward. David Cameron announced two inquiries Friday, including one thatThe public outrage over the Dowler voicemails shouldn't obscure the fact that the police were paid off and that Cameron is deeply implicated in the scandal-- that his ties with Murdoch are part of the larger issue. If what comes out of this is tighter regulation of the press, rather than full inquiry into police corruption, that's a win for Murdoch and a loss for the rest of us.
should look at how our newspapers are regulated and make recommendations for the future…it should be truly independent…independent of the press, so the public will know that newspapers will never again be solely responsible for policing themselves.
Did self-policing fail, and, if so, on whose part? It looks from here like the Guardian, another newspaper, did the tireless investigative work that exposed the News of the World's practices, while public officials at every level were intimately involved in them. If the Guardian did the work that the government failed to do, is the lesson there really that the press should have less power, and the government more? British newspapers are not "solely responsible for policing themselves": the News of the World engaged in activities that are criminal under existing laws, and that those who enforce laws were well positioned to reveal and put an end to. They did not. The list of the complicit starts with the first policeman who was offered money, but it extends to David Cameron.

"It is Sunday afternoon, preferably before the war. The wife is already asleep in the armchair, and the children have been sent out for a nice long walk. You put your feet up on the sofa, settle your spectacles on your nose and open the News of the World."Of course, in the original, Orwell, continues:
These are the words of the great writer George Orwell. They were written in 1946 but they have been the sentiments of most of the nation for well over a century and a half as this astonishing paper became part of the fabric of Britain, as central to Sunday as a roast dinner.
Roast beef and Yorkshire, or roast pork and apple sauce, followed up by suet pudding and driven home, as it were, by a cup of mahogany-brown tea, have put you in just the right mood. Your pipe is drawing sweetly, the sofa cushions are soft underneath you, the fire is well alight, the air is warm and stagnant. In these blissful circumstances, what is it that you want to read about?The quotation is from Orwell's essay "Decline of the English Murder" and few would characterize the study of the English gutter press as complimentary to the NotW.
Naturally, about a murder…
Having fashioned a disguise from dirt and wool, I cycled to the newsagents at 7.30am, to find they were already selling fast. Clearly the boycott was having an effect.

Charles Begley became [The News of the World]'s official Harry Potter correspondent as part of a campaign in the run-up to the launch of the movie [in November 2001], which involved him changing his name to Harry Potter by deed poll and dressing up as the youthful wizard.posted by goodnewsfortheinsane at 6:10 PM on July 10, 2011 [2 favorites]

Begley alleged that at 4.30pm on the day of the terror attacks his news editor approached him and told him that [Rebekah] Wade wanted him to come to her office dressed as JK Rowling's fictional schoolboy wizard.
CB: Well, to be frank, Greg, as far as my future at News International is concerned, I haven't toed the line for the editor's pet project. I didn't prance around while the World Trade Centre was being bombed, for her personal amusement. I can't just stroll in.Well, quite.
GM: Why not? Charles, that is what we do - we go out and destroy other people's lives.
The sheer scale of the data assault on Brown is unusual, with evidence of attempts to obtain his legal, financial, tax, medical and police records as well as to listen to his voicemail.

Five years earlier, when their first child, Jennifer, was born on 28 December 2001, a small group of specialist doctors and nurses was aware that she had suffered a brain haemorrhage and was dying.

Rees's relationship with journalists was a two-way street. An executive from the News of the World developed a corrupt source in the Passport Office who could provide home addresses, personal details and photographs of anybody who applied for a passport.

Are you insufficiently repulsed by the Sun's mysteriously-obtained exclusive on Brown's son's cystic fibrosis? Don't worry - like everything about the hacking scandal, there are always more details to emerge to compound the horror. I've been speaking to a source close to Gordon Brown at the time of the story, who recalls that it was served up with a chaser of threat.From the Guardian's live blog.
Marina Hyde.
"Gordon insisted - despite a heavy brow-beating from Rebekah - that he was not willing to let his son's medical condition be the stuff of a Sun exclusive," recalls this source. "So he put out a statement on PA to spike their scoop and make clear that despite his condition, Fraser was fit and healthy. The Sun were utterly furious, and Brown's communications team were told that if Gordon wanted to get into No10, he needed to learn that was not how things were done."

11.52 John Whittingdale, the chairman of the DCMS committee, says that they will be sending summons for both Murdochs to compel them. Still some confusion over whether they have the power to force them to attend.posted by Anything at 4:35 AM on July 14, 2011

Dow Jones CEO quits, Murdoch apologizes in hacking scandal.posted by ericb at 1:33 PM on July 15, 2011 [1 favorite]
News Group Newspapers, the publishers of The Sun, said tonight in a statement: "We believe this is a deeply cynical and deliberately mischievous attempt to draw The Sun into the phone-hacking issue."Hahaha!
just marveling at the thought that anyone wronged so deeply by him could be in the same room with him and restrain themselves from staking him through the heart and filling his mouth with garlic to keep him from rising again.Was seeing the story on BBC World just now. Now I don't know how they've responded to Murdoch pere's apology, but judging from their facial expressions, it's perhaps obvious that they were trying to contain something, whether it's surprise or revulsion I don't know. It most certainly would have been revulsion, if I was in their situation.
Would Murdoch really sack his son [James]? I don't see why we should rule out infanticide in this case. Writing in the Financial Times [...] former media tycoon and current prison inmate Conrad Black held that "Murdoch has no loyalty to anyone or anything except his company. He has difficulty keeping friendships; rarely keeps his word for long; is an exploiter of the discomfort of others; and has betrayed every political leader who ever helped him in any country, except Ronald Reagan and perhaps Tony Blair."posted by goodnewsfortheinsane at 8:05 PM on July 15, 2011
Mainstream American politicians of both parties have generally avoided open combat with Murdoch, with Bill and then Hillary Clinton famously seeking to court him and reach an accommodation. Even Obama, who has warred openly with Fox at times, has more recently pulled back, even after seven-figure contributions to groups tied to the Republican Party were reported last year.
But Murdoch, wounded, suddenly appears mortal, and his enemies are emboldened.
Fox News president Roger Ailes "is going to be hamstrung," said Murdoch biographer and AdWeek editor Michael Wolff. Ailes "operates independently, but in this context he will not be able to operate independently: This is going to be in the hands of lawyers and higher PR officials, and it will not be about what's good for Fox, it'll be what's good for News Corp. and for an ultimate settlement."

One cannot live off the liberty and benefits of a free press while ignoring the privacy of the people.

American news outlets have a far greater sense of separation from the political elite of their country than there is in Britain. In the UK, both parties chased the endorsement of the News of the World. Prime Ministers of left and right invited its editors to cocktail parties and sleep-overs. Its power and importance was reflected in its disturbingly close relationship with the entire political establishment, including Brown and Cameron. That is what made it the British Watergate.posted by Anything at 9:43 AM on July 16, 2011 [2 favorites]
In contrast, no Democrat would bother to court the support of Fox News or the New York Post. They are conservative niche media, which has excluded them from half of the US political establishment and kept them philosophically pure.
Police said that a 43-year-old woman was arrested by appointment at a London police station on Sunday on on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications and on suspicion of corruption allegations.Why do the UK police announce arrests in this manner? I can see the desire to avoid prejudicing court proceedings or the public view of the arrested by not giving their name. But what, then, is the justification for giving out age and gender? In this case, that is enough to fairly conclusively determine who was arrested.

When News Corp. and CEO Rupert Murdoch secured enough shares to buy Dow Jones & Co. four years ago, these columns welcomed our new owner and promised to stand by the same standards and principles we always had.

The prize for righteous hindsight goes to the online publication ProPublica for recording the well-fed regrets of the Bancroft family that sold Dow Jones to News Corp. at a 67% market premium in 2007.

The public may be disgusted by illegal and immoral practices among tabloid journalists, and dismayed by the thought of politicians unbalanced by the urge to keep the favour of newspaper executives. At the point at which this sorry tale touches the police, however, it becomes frightening. Unless a huge amount of what has been alleged these past two weeks is sheer fiction, Britain's police are riven with corruption on an institutional scale. Journalists who bribe policemen are indicative of a flawed industry. Policemen who can be bribed are indicative of a flawed state.posted by daveje at 4:10 AM on July 18, 2011 [1 favorite]

The plaintiff, Valassis Communications, had already won a $300 million verdict in Michigan, but dropped the lawsuit in exchange for $500 million and an agreement to cooperate on certain ventures going forward.and Valassis is primarily known for their America's Looking For Its Missing Children program. I'm not sure which is worse- engaging in underhanded business practices in order to undercut a company responsible for running a missing kids program, or joining together with that same company knowing what we do now about their ethics and practices regarding missing kids.

"Thirdly, the record of meetings between Cameron and News International executives released on Friday does not reveal a modernising prime minister governing in the national interest, but a victim of a vested interest.

It is one of those assemblages of small facts that change the way a public figure is viewed."(my emphasis)

The Guardian has learned that a bag containing the items was found in an underground car park in the Design Centre at the exclusive Chelsea Harbour development on Monday afternoon.Oh boy, how he must regret that. What a screwup.
The car park, under a shopping centre, is yards from the gated apartment block where Brooks lives with her husband, a former racehorse trainer and close friend of the prime minister David Cameron.
It is understood the bag was handed into security at around 3pm and that shortly afterwards, Brooks's husband, Charlie, arrived and tried to reclaim it. He was unable to prove the bag was his and the security guard refused to release it.

Over the last several months, Ms. Brooks spearheaded a strategy that seemed designed to spread the blame across Fleet Street, interviews show. Several former News of the World journalists said that she asked them to dig up evidence of hacking. One said in an interview that Ms. Brooks's target was not her own newspapers, but her rivals.
Mr. Dacre, the editor of The Daily Mail, told his senior managers that he had received several reports from businesspeople, soccer stars and public relations agencies that two News International executives, Will Lewis and Simon Greenberg, had encouraged them to investigate whether their phones had been hacked by Daily Mail newspapers.
I can't shake the feeling that everything NI are doing is trying to avert something coming out that's so appalling that all the firings and closings and shenanigans are worth itWhat is worth giving up NoTW and BSkyB for?

Yet perhaps the most telling vignette came shortly after Rupert had confused Alastair Campbell with David Cameron - possible confirmation that the change of prime ministers is to Murdoch Snr the mere shuffling of junior personnel - when he revealed insouciantly that he always went in the back door of Downing Street because Cameron and others insisted on it.

It's not difficult to find reasons to dislike Rupert Murdoch. His reach is one of the most insidious and toxic forces in global politics today. The phone-hacking scandal, despicable though it is, barely scratches the surface of the damage done by News International. It is a media empire built on deceit and bile, that trades vitriol for debate and thinks nothing of greasing the wheels of power until they turn in its favour. What's more, no matter what the grievances he wreaks on those he has never met, his power and money keep him forever safely out of their reach.
Yes it's true that Murdoch's power is waning. But it's also true that he will never face real justice. Yesterday's select committee hearing was a farce before the foam ever left my fingers: a toothless panel confronting men too slippery to be caught between their gums.
I was filled with hope as Tom Watson questioned Murdoch Sr relentlessly with the passion and vigour we might expect to be the norm when our elected representatives face down the perpetrators of a modern Watergate. For a few bright moments I thought I might see justice done, keep the pie in my bag and spare myself a night in jail. Those moments were short lived: as committee member after committee member feebly prodded around the issues and Murdoch Jr began to dominate, I knew I was going to have to make a massive tit of myself ...
For starters, executives, editors, and reporters at News Corp.'s UK unit have: bribed the police; illegally hacked thousands of people's phones, including a 13-year-old then-missing murder victim's; tampered with evidence while the victim was still missing. They interfered with a second murder investigation; misled police and Parliament, repeatedly, when questioned about these activities; knowingly employed an ax-murder suspect who had been convicted and imprisoned for planting cocaine on an innocent woman in a divorce case; paid millions of dollars to victims explicitly in exchange for their silence; paid large sums to former employees after they had been convicted of crimes committed at the behest of News Corporation employees; continued to pay for convicted former employees' high-powered lawyers.citations and much more here
It has further been revealed that a senior News International executive deleted millions of emails in an "apparent attempt to obstruct Scotland Yard's inquiry"; hid the contents of a top journalist's desk after he was arrested; stuffed documents into trash bags and took them away as detectives came into the office to investigate; put the scandal's lead police investigator, whose inquiry was a bad joke, on the News Corp. payroll with a plum columnist job.
Just by way of clarification relating to Tuesday's CMS Select Committee hearing, we would like to point out that James Murdoch's recollection of what he was told when agreeing to settle the Gordon Taylor litigation was mistaken.This, of course, contradicts what James Murdoch told Parliament. He's in trouble now.
In fact, we did inform him of the "for Neville" email which had been produced to us by Gordon Taylor's lawyers.
Craig Oliver, a former BBC executive who replaced Coulson when he resigned from Number 10 in February, is undergoing "developed vetting" – a rigorous probe into his background and finances aimed at uncovering anything that could make him vulnerable to blackmail or other compromises. Coulson underwent less stringent checks.
A former senior counter-terrorism official said it was "unthinkable" and "very surprising, that someone would not be vetted to the higher 'DV' level when they are working in No 10, that close to the PM".
He said: "Developed vetting is an intrusive analysis of someone's character. It potentially could have picked up phone hacking. It would look into everything about them, including allegations made publicly, in the media, about them."
The contrast between Coulson's and Oliver's security vetting emerged after 24 hours of refusals by Downing Street to say what Oliver's security status would be. Adding to the impression Coulson was afforded special treatment, Gabby Bertin, Coulson's former assistant who is still Cameron's deputy press secretary, is also undergoing full checks.
Harbottle & Lewis has now accused News International of refusing to release it from a client confidentiality clause so it can defend itself. The firm has also contacted the home affairs select committee to investigate whether there is a possibility of countering Murdoch's claims by giving testimony under parliamentary privilege.
...The London law firm, whose clients include members of the royal family, is not the only one left nursing a battered reputation following the Murdochs' testimony.
Jon Chapman, News International's former director of legal affairs, is understood to be preparing to write a letter to John Whittingdale, the chairman of the culture select committee, to "set the record straight".
Chapman was one of a several legal advisers whose opinion on the extent of phone hacking at the newspaper group was called into question at the committee hearing. Having left News International two weeks ago, he is on gardening leave and could not be reached for comment.
Any evidence from Chapman is likely to be extremely important in offering an opposing view of that put forward by the Murdochs and other senior News International staff.

12. Which officials or ministers were informed of Jeremy Heywood's decision in May 2010 not to subject Andy Coulson to developed vetting?
13. One of the reasons given for not subjecting Andy Coulson to developed vetting was cost. Is it correct that the cost of developed vetting to No 10 is £500?
14. We understand that the company that screened Andy Coulson on behalf of the Conservative party in 2007 was Control Risks Screening. Was Andy Coulson subjected to the firm's "standard" check (at a cost of £150.40) or the "express" check (£145.70)?
I think our readers will be bemused, at best, by your refusal to address the issue of whether Andy Coulson attended any meetings at which highly classified information was discussed. More sceptical readers may conclude that you are reluctant to disclose information that could prove inconvenient in some way. In particular, readers will wonder why you are not willing directly to address the issue of whether Andy Coulson ever attended a meeting of the national security council.posted by Len at 12:52 PM on July 28, 2011 [3 favorites]
I also note that you decline to deny that, as per our first question, Andy Coulson at any time had unsupervised access to information designated Top Secret or above. In place of your previous statement that "there is no suggestion he was sent papers incorrectly", you now state that "there is no suggestion that Andy Coulson, or anyone else, had access to the most secret papers". For the sake of clarity, could I ask again if you would confirm or deny whether Andy Coulson at any time had unsupervised access to information designated Top Secret or above?
On two occasions, James Murdoch and former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks were given confidential defence briefings on Afghanistan and Britain's strategic defence review by the Defence Secretary, Liam Fox. A further briefing was held with Ms Brooks, Rupert Murdoch and the Sunday Times editor John Witherow.posted by Len at 1:26 PM on July 28, 2011 [2 favorites]
A spokesman for Mr Fox said that the defence briefings given to the Murdochs covered a range of issues and were given because of the "interest in defence matters" shown by News International papers. He did not say who initiated the meetings.
[London Mayor] Boris Johnson would have been "attempting to pervert the course of justice" if he knew police were actively investigating phone hacking when he described fresh allegations as "codswallop", a member of the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) has claimed.posted by goodnewsfortheinsane at 3:40 PM on July 28, 2011 [1 favorite]
I used the names of many real people I knew for minor characters such as journalists, chauffeurs, bankers and so forth. Roger Lewis was probably amongst them, as were (off the top of my head) Therese Coffey MP, now my colleague on the Select Committee, Jeremy Quin, Damian Hinds MP, Maurice Oberstein, Rod Clayton, James Robertson and many more. None of them have ever complained about my using their names in this way.Regardless of whether Career Girls was part roman à clef (something that was definitely suggested when it came out) it's a marker of a social circle that, like that of many Oxbridge hacks, now includes quite a few movers and shakers.
The Letter contain'd anodyne Allegations that are easily refut'd: it is not the Stuff of BLACK MAIL.posted by Len at 12:14 AM on July 30, 2011
By refuting them, Mrs MENSCH hath, after a Fortnight of bad Press, regain'd a moral HIGH GROUND: indeed, she does appear a CHAMPION in the eyes of the Publick.
The real transgressions of the Murdoch empire are not its outré partisanship, its tabloid sleaze, its Washington lobbying, or even what liberals most love to hate, the bogus "fair and balanced" propaganda masquerading as journalism at Fox News. In fact, these misdemeanors are red herrings—distractions from the real News Corp. corruption that now threatens to bring down its management and radically reconfigure and reduce its international corporate footprint. The bigger story is this: An otherwise archetypal media colossus, with apolitical TV shows (American Idol), movies (Avatar), and cable channels (FX) like any other, is controlled by a family (and its tight coterie of made men and women, exemplified by the recently departed Rebekah Brooks) that countenances the intimidation and silencing of politicians, regulators, competitors, journalists, and even ordinary citizens to maximize its profits and power and to punish perceived corporate, political, and personal enemies. And, as we now know conclusively, some of this behavior has broken the law.
When I was first elected, I was a completely naive and gauche politician. You look at the pillars of the state: politics, the media, police, lawyers – they've all got their formal role, and then nestling above that is that power elite who are networked in through soft, social links, that are actually running the show.posted by holgate at 8:18 AM on August 3, 2011 [2 favorites]

This is a pretty good climb with good moves, solid rock, great position, exposure and scenery. Furthermore, the protection is great, so don't let it intimidate you- it is a good route to push your grade on. There is a little of everything on this route- underclings, stemming, jamming, smearing, liebacks and face-climbing etc...
Head on about 200 feet South of where the trail intercepts the flat rockbed. At the far right side of the inset amphitheatre in Golden Valley there is an overhanging, left-facing corner. String Bikini follows the smaller corner and arete system to the outside of that inset.
A standard light rack of nuts and cams to 3". A 1.5" - 2" cam or thereabouts protects the crux from below or above. If you will be on-edge gradewise, carry an extra of each of these.

This is the first Valcambi I've bought. This may be the only way to pay for things in the future so I will buy more. As usual, Goldmart is great all around. Again, this Valcambi is a must have!

I am very pleased with my purchase from Goldmart. Also, I found Goldmart
prices to be the lowest price (on the internet) for the item I purchased.
Thanks to all the folks at GOLDMART!!
(Posted 3/13/14) Joseph S. from New York rates this product
Real nice looking. This will be great for the long run to have tiny amounts of gold for trading. This will hold its value over time, and you can even do what I did and resell grams individually to make some good money.
(Posted 6/30/13) Patrick S. from Michigan rates this product
Great idea if it ever had to be used as currency, credit card sized and wallet ready - a nice little insurance package.
(Posted 6/12/13) Thomas C. from Florida rates this product
Pricing and product are great. My only criticism is that shipping never happens on time.

Wellmade Floor Coverings Inc. exports more than 600 shipping containers of bamboo flooring products a year from its factory in China to its sales base in Wilsonville.

Saturday, February 15, 9:30-11 am
James Grant, Amity Shlaes, Byron R. Wien (moderator)
$40 (members $28)
Throughout the 1920s, the U.S. stock market experienced a period of unprecedented growth during which stocks more than quadrupled in value. But in 1929, the nation-and much of the Western world-was brought to its knees in one of the worst economic disasters in modern history. Focusing on the years preceding the crash, three experts explore how a near-decade of wild opulence and unbounded optimism culminated in Black Tuesday and the devastation that was left in its wake.

An accomplished scholar and outspoken activist, W.E.B. Du Bois fought racism and discrimination from local institutions to the highest levels of government. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Levering Lewis, in conversation with Khalil Gibran Muhammad, discusses the life and work of one of the most prominent civil rights activists of the early 20th century, from his role as a founding member of the NAACP to his vehement protests against the 1915 release of The Birth of a Nation, a film supported by President Woodrow Wilson that glorified the Ku Klux Klan.

The White House Series: First Mothers
Wednesday, February 26, 6:30 pm
Cokie Roberts, Gil Troy, Elizabeth Mehren, Lesley Stahl (moderator)
Many remarkable mothers have given birth to American presidents, and as a result, helped shape the course of history through their relationships. Although America has yet to elect a female President, many women have played important parts in shaping presidential administrations and in changing the roles and the perceptions of women in politics. To celebrate the centennial of the Women's Suffrage Parade of 1913, four experts discuss past First Mothers who have influenced a nation.

And it was a particularly enjoyable one, too. J. is a great running partner for me, we must keep on doing this. Times a bit faster than mile splits suggest, as I didn't stop my watch while stopped for traffic--I will shamelessly do that while running alone, but I feel it's a bit pedantic when I'm with someone else! The park loop, plus over and back.
6.62 miles, avg pace 10:10, avg HR 157, max HR 173
10:37, 10:07, 10:10, 9:36, 10:23, 9:50 and change
I felt like I could have gone forever--we had some nice harder bits and then some parts where we eased off, it was fun.
I am having a problem, though--I can't relax! I really need some rest and recovery time this week, but the symptom of overwork is that I feel both incapable of getting anything done and also still hyper-vigilant and stressed out! Hmmm, I will have to hope that another couple days of spring break will actually have some effect on me...

One of the dirty dozen visits Michigan
05/25/14 20:47
Had a great time with my students at the Chris Haueter seminar. I can't speak enough good things about this guy. He's about as down to earth as they come. Here's hoping I get a few of those 1428 "hard" rolls left that he has in him on my journey to black belt and beyond. Thank you professor for a great day.

"Before the show, I do a vocal warm-up, then I cover my entire body in baby oil, and then I roll in glitter, and then it's time to go."
She said that.
"I like big, fat guys with beards that wear thick glasses. I like the hidden gems, the diamonds in the rough. I like really awkward, fat, bearded people."
She also said that.
"I've kissed girls before, but my preference is a wiener."
Yep, and that. But who is she? According to FHM writer Tom Howard, "she's possibly the worst pop star of all time". But if that's not very helpful, the next best reference point is 'the girl that sings Tik Tok'. The chorus goes like this:
Don't Stop
Make it Pop
DJ blown my speakers up
Tonight I'ma fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop
No oh, oh oo whoa oo whoa oh
Oh oo whoa oo whoa oh
Oh oo whoa oo whoa oh
Got it yet? We sure hope so, because it recently came to our attention that Ke$ha (real name Kesha Rose Sebert) is one of the most googled women on the planet and warrants a presence on FHM.com. But is she hot? Not according to the brilliant man at wwtdd.com, who posted these pictures of Ke$ha in a swimsuit on a beach in Australia and concluded that, "she can't sing, her body sucks and she's fug as hell." But we're willing to hold fire on this woman for the time being because, if you believe the lyrics to her songs, she brushes her teeth with Jack Daniels and puked in a closet. And because pictorial evidence suggests that she feels comfortable in bath tubs, gets on really well with Katy Perry and can glam it up when she needs to. Observe:
Ke$ha in a bath tub:
Ke$ha doing something with Katy Perry:
Ke$ha looking gold and groovy in the desert:
Ke$ha on her debut album:

Nine to Five –
Seven Days a Week
Find out which vegetables and fruits are in season and help us water the raised plant beds in the Incredible Edible Garden. Don't forget to check out the worm composting bin! Pot a succulent plant into a biodegradable pot to take home and watch it grow in your yard. Spell your name in plants in the Spell and Smell Garden. Have fun in the sand and use big wood blocks to build a balsa fort in the Earth Builder area. In the Art Garden, you can paint pictures on giant chalk boards or draw on paper with chalk pastels. Try out all the different instruments in the music garden and make some "noise". Get your feet wet in the Mountain Stream and let boats and floating toys go down the stream. When the sun is out, try reading the time by the shadow cast on the sundial and find your way through the maze. Be creative with huge foam blocks, ramps and balls at the Tropical Surround, or enjoy reading a book from our Book Nook. Last but not least, have an amazing time playing in Toni's Tree House!

Material for a scavenger hunt through the Hamilton Children's Garden can be found in one of the flyer boxes at the shed in the Earth Builder area. We will post a new scavenger hunt for each month!
