Politico Spins the Media's Pro-Obama Bias: Reporters Just Favor 'Centrist' Politicians
According to Politico editors Jim VandeHei and John Harris, Barack Obama is currently "playing the press like a fiddle" by "exploiting some of the most long-standing traits among reporters who cover politics and government — their favoritism for politicians perceived as ideologically centrist."
VandeHei and Harris pointed out journalists such as Christiane Amanpour for lauding the President as "Reaganesque." They then oddly portrayed Obama's good press as a new thing.
The co-authors of February 7 piece flatly denied a hard-left tilt in the media: "Conservatives are convinced the vast majority of reporters at mainstream news organizations are liberals who hover expectantly for each new issue of The Nation. It's just not true."
The editors added:
The majority of political writers we know might more accurately be accused of centrist bias.
That is, they believe broadly in government activism but are instinctually skeptical of anything that smacks of ideological zealotry and are quick to see the public interest as being distorted by excessive partisanship. Governance, in the Washington media's ideal, should be a tidier and more rational process than it is.
[Emphasis added.]
Yet, at the same time, Harris and VandeHei freely identified the fawning press Obama has received in 2011:
In the category of You Can't Make It Up, weeks of stories and columns about the comparison culminated with this cover of Time magazine — "Why Obama Loves Reagan" — and a manufactured picture of the two men side by side, smiling optimistically.
Obama couldn't buy an ad like that.
Absent from their argument is the fact that journalists have been covering for Obama since the first days of his administration (and earlier). A May 2009 study by the MRC on the President's first 100 days found:
Obama's first 100 days were defined by massive spending, aggressive intervention in the private sector and proposals for a huge expansion of the federal government. Yet none of the networks aired a single story on whether Obama's policies were pushing the U.S. toward socialism, and no reporter used the term "socialist" to describe Obama.
Not only that, network reporters never used the word "liberal" to describe either Barack Obama or his agenda during the first 100 days.
The networks lavished good press on every major initiative of the early Obama administration, including the massive stimulus package, all of the various bailouts, health care, stem cells, the environment and foreign policy.
In the days before the President unveiled his unprecedented $3.5 trillion budget — with a record-shattering $1.75 trillion deficit — four out of five statements on the evening newscasts parroted the White House spin that Obama was a deficit fighter.
Perhaps the Politico editors will explain Obama's good press, going back before 2011.

I read this piece this morning. This article is full of Liberal and pro-Obama propaganda. I found it ironic that this guy was bending over backwards praising Obama, kissing his behind and at the same time claiming there is no Liberal media bias. LOL
I found it ridiculous that the writers claimed that Clinton did not get good media coverage!!
This is the Left wing media doing their best to follow the Obama's administrations orders to portray Obama as Reagan. Politico is just carrying water for Obama.

I love it when liberals try to speak for conservatives. Rather than conservatives being convinced that progressive liberals hover expectantly for The Nation, we actually believe they hover expectantly for Politico. Liberals miss the boat again...on purpose.
I'm not aware of any conservative equilavent to The Nation. Progressives play this same game when they try to compare Fox News with MSNBC. Conservatives have no match for MSNBC. I'd argue we don't have a match for CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS either, but at most, Fox News compares with these news organizations a heck of a lot more than it compares with MSNBC.
This liberal trick to compare conservative outlets to unrivaled loony progressive (oops, redundant) institutions is effective in degrading the legitimacy of conservative thought. Conservative need to stop playing along and set the record straight every time progressives use this deceitful tactic.

Left will run Obama in 2012
Submitted by LAM SON 719 on Mon, 02/07/2011 - 7:29pm.
Left will run Obama in 2012 using the personality cult platform, claim that he is a centerist without ever discussing where he actually was center. The unfortunate fact is that the republicans and useful idiots (independents) will fall for this again. The new republican senators and house members are already back pedailing and pandering to the " bi-parstian" trash the left is spouting.

The media is Obama's Fiddle and they feature HIS tunes!
Submitted by cbeyer on Mon, 02/07/2011 - 8:32pm.
The premise of this article is laughable. Can you imagine if GWB or any Republican were president with unemployment at 10%? The media would have a field day with its 'misery indexes', profiles of the poor and constant references to a failed presidency. The dominant media (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, the wire services and most major city editorial pages) fawned all over Obama leading up to his election. His notable campaign gaffes were ignored and interviews of Obama were slanted with softball questions while vilification of anything conservative continued.
Obama's self serving 'move to the center' has been lauded in the mainstream media beause they were aware he was losing the independents. Regardless of the sad state of our economy and a disasterous and perilous approach to energy policy, the media will be the major reason Obama will be reelected. Is it a conpiracy? Of course not....media bias is simply based on the fact that poll after poll shows that most media elites tilt to the left.
I find it ironic that the mainstream media and liberals are so bothered by Fox News and talk radio. These media outlets serve only to provide a slight bit of balance to an otherwise overwhelming tilt to the left in print and the major networks. If the media is Obama's fiddle and they play him so well, its simply because they want it that way. They will continue to vilify Sarah Palin with relentless vile and hatred (and other conservatives to a lesser extent). In the meantime Obama will get a free ride.

the "center" of what??
Submitted by wizardjr on Mon, 02/07/2011 - 9:56pm.
Maybe the center of old Red Square? Or perhaps the center stage of the CPUSA?
Continuing reports comming out of the Waffle House that he is disconnected from all that's going on around him... EXCEPT his reelection. This is so very, very dangerous. Our country is being run by a herd of unelected Alinskys running amok in the West Wing while Nero shoots some hoops.

1. Who wins the battle at the top of the West?
The Anaheim Ducks and St. Louis Blues will face off on Saturday in a matchup of two of the Western Conference's best teams. It's the first game between the two powerhouses this season, and both teams are coming off big wins. Whoever wins this game will earn much-needed separation from division rivals, so expect this to be a tightly-contested battle.
2. Will Dallas finally defend their home ice against the Flyers?
Philadelphia visits the suddenly icy DFW metroplex on Saturday, where they haven't lost since 2007. The last time these two teams met, the Flyers embarrassed the Stars with the HBO cameras rolling. Dallas has been playing well of late, having earned at least a point in 15 of their last 18 games. The key here might be whether Dallas' power play (the worst home power play in the league) can take advantage of Philadelphia's tendency to visit the penalty box.
3. Shea Weber is back. Will that be enough for Nashville to beat Washington?
The Predators will probably get their captain back from a three-game absence on Saturday, and the timing could not be any better. Nashville has managed just five goals during their four-game losing streak, and Weber's presence on the blueline should help spark the offense a bit.
4. How will Stephen Weiss perform in his first game against Florida?
Weiss spent his entire career with the Panthers before joining the Detroit Red Wings in free agency this summer. Now he'll face his old teammates for the first time on Saturday. Weiss has not had a particularly good season so far, with just four points in 24 games. Will he be extra motivated with familiar faces in town?
5. Will the Devils win the shots battle?
New Jersey only managed 11 shots on goal (a franchise-low) on Friday against Detroit. They're going to have to do better than that on Saturday with Henrik Lundqvist in the pipes for the Rangers.

The Fallen Soldier Memorial at the University of Montana is now recognized as the official State Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans' Memorial. The community is invited to a recognition ceremony set for Saturday, October 26.
This comes after the Montana Legislature unanimously passed a bill extending state designation to the memorial. Governor Steve Bullock signed the bill into law in April.
"We have almost 600 veterans who are active students on this campus, so we take a lot of pride in being able to serve all members of the community, and this is one important group of members of our community," said Peggy Kuhr, Vice President for Integrated Communications at UM.
The dedication ceremony will take place 30 minutes after the Grizzly football game. The game against Eastern Washington University is officially the military appreciation game, when Griz Nation honors members of the armed services before and during the game.

Reformer Moves Inside
by Melissa Bailey | October 15, 2009 11:30 AM | Permalink | Comments (15)
As he moves forward with sweeping reform plans, the mayor has tapped a former critic and education watchdog to join the school board.
Alex Johnston (pictured), founder and CEO of Connecticut Coalition for Achievement Now (ConnCAN), was appointed Thursday to fill one of three vacant seats on the eight-person school board. Selase Williams, provost at Southern Connecticut State University, was also named to the board.
The appointments come as the city is poised to make national waves with a sweeping school reform drive that aims to close the achievement gap by 2015, cut the dropout rate in half and ensure that every student can go to college, Mayor John DeStefano said. The city hit a milestone toward that goal Tuesday, when teachers overwhelmingly ratified a new labor contract that gives the district flexibility to dramatically change the way schools are run.
Johnston's statewide school reform advocacy group has in the past been at loggerheads with the mayor. The group has fought at the state level for funding for charter schools and changes in teacher certification. It has been an outspoken critic of Connecticut's racial and economic achievement gap. The group touted the successes of charter schools like Amistad Academy and called on New Haven to accept, not reject, those emerging models. The mayor long clashed with charter school proponents, but recently joined the Achievement First board and in the past year enlisted them as partners in his evolving school reform plan.
To read about the past tensions, click here and here.
Now there's an emerging "alignment" in priorities among ConnCAN, the district, and the Obama administration, Johnston said in an interview Thursday.
"I think that with the ratification of the teacher's contract and all of the recent developments, New Haven is really poised to have a nationally significant reform effort," Johnston said. "The mayor and superintendent are extremely committed to getting results as rapidly as possible."
Johnston said he looks forward to bringing a reform advocate's perspective to the table. The school board "has a significant role to play in shaping the reform and ensuring that it's enacted with fidelity" and "that there's a way to measure the success," he said.
Before starting ConnCAN in 2005, Johnston served as director of operations at the city housing authority.
Williams (pictured) is the second highest-ranking administrator at SCSU. Prior to this job, he served for 11 years as dean at California State University at Dominquez Hills. At that post, he raised over $2 million in gifts for the university and oversaw partnerships with local public schools, according to a city press release.
Both new board members will set to work Saturday morning, when the school board convenes for a strategy session about the role the board will play in guiding the reforms.
"As we really start to gear up this reform work, I am thrilled to have two such respected and committed partners to help us create the type of district we know is possible," said schools chief Reggie Mayo in a press statement.

Posted by: FIX THE SCHOOLS | October 15, 2009 3:32 PM
I hope this endorsement doesn't hurt them, but these are FANTASTIC appointments.
Alex knows more about successful systems of school accountability than anyone. And Selase has been a key player in helping Cheryl Norton transform SCSU into a more competitive university with additional pathways and opportunity for its students.
The fact that the old BOE is melting away before our very eyes, and that DeStefano has chosen two independent experts in the field of education, and who are most certainly not historic political allies, should tell you a lot about the mayor's sincerity around the reform effort.

Talk about letting the fox in the henhouse! Why not just cede control of the district to Achievement First right now and save everyone the agony of incremental changes....
Posted by: Bob Solomon | October 15, 2009 4:16 PM
Having worked with Alex in the past, I know he will serve with the same dedication and intelligence with which he tackles every task. My real comment, however, is to Vidar Simpson. The basic crux of your comment is that strong-willed people with different views cannot work together in a productive manner. I believe that part of the difficulty in governing is that too many people agree with you, so every initiative becomes a question of who wins and who loses. Alex Johnston's work at the Housing Authority required that he sit down with redevelopment and modernization staff, to figure out how to divide a limited pot three ways. When I say "sit down," I mean over many hours stretching over many weeks. Outside of the workplace, there are other models, like Deliberative Polling, in which peole with differing views go through a process to try to reach a greater understanding. This does not mean that you reach concensus, but that opinions and decisions are based on careful reflection, not shouting bumper stickers.

Posted by: William Hosley | October 16, 2009 12:21 AM
Bravo. Alex rocks and the values and ideas he espouses are a plausible antitode to the calcified culture of public school education. Rebuilding every school in New Haven is nothing if the what happens inside them doesn't evolve. The challenge of transforming our cities back into viable, thriving places is all about this costly knot at the heart of them. New Haven could and should be a national model. If not now, when?
Good luck!
Posted by: Tim Holahan | October 16, 2009 9:55 AM
I applaud Alex Johnston's appointment, and I think it adds significant credibility to the mayor's reform initiative.
In my limited contact with Alex, he has struck me as honest, smart, and dedicated. I don't know anything about his work at the housing authority, but from everything I've seen, to refer to him as anyone's puppet seems completely invalid. As this article mentions, ConnCAN's "Mind the Gaps" campaign was admirably executed and won significant victories that will enable reform efforts across the state.
During the campaign, hundreds of parents and students were mobilized to support and testify for changes to laws and processes that were blocking analysis and improvement of our educational systems.

Three Fifths, if that's not the voice of the people what is? Who is?
The voice of the people of those of us who have the right to pick and chose who is to speak on behalf of the people.It is a fact that when these appointments are made by the machine,The person is then controled by the machine. Look at West Haven they have for years a elected school board.
Other states have elected school boards and they work.
So tell me what is work with a elected school board.
P.S. I look at conncan board and funders,Load with former corporatist and good old Bank of American and you know the deal with them.
Posted by: Tim Holahan | October 16, 2009 4:23 PM
The voice of the people of those of us who have the right to pick and chose who is to speak on behalf of the people.
I'm not completely sure what you're saying there, Three Fifths, but let me take a swing: are you saying that by virtue of being appointed by the mayor, Alex will inevitably become a puppet doing the mayor's will?
I believe there's plenty of evidence to the contrary. Jeffrey Kerekes was appointed to the Financial Review and Audit Commission by the mayor, though his views about the budget were known to be quite different from the administration's; nor have they changed since he joined the FRAC. I was appointed to the Budget Review Panel by Carl Goldfield, and I don't think Carl or anyone else would say I "did his will". Forgive the personal example; I'm sure there are many more instances of appointed office-holders acting independently, these are just the cases I know personally.
I agree that at least at least some of our Board of Ed members should be elected. It's a common practice, and I believe New Haven is the only municipality in the state that doesn't have elected Board members. Residents who agree should ask their aldermen to change the city charter to enable election of at least some of the Board. (Charter revision will be another major topic in the city over the next two years, as we're due for a Charter Review Commission.)
You also seem to be saying that, because ConnCAN board members and donors have corporate connections, they are insincere in their commitment to education reform. How so? Even if they're motives are as self-interested as "we need a better-educated work-force", their support can still be useful. I imagine Alex is happy to have it.
Please explain how ConnCAN and/or Alex are de-legitimized by accepting corporate support.

Threefifths, don't forget that 'the people' elected 'king john'. what makes you think they would do a better job with electing a school board???
Posted by: THREEFIFTHS | October 16, 2009 9:45 PM
Frist let me address SJBJ.
You said Threefifths, don't forget that 'the people' elected 'king john'. what makes you think they would do a better job with electing a school board???
Easy answer.Some people elected king john and some of the people did not vote for him.The point is that there was a election for the people to vote for him or not vote for him.When you make appointments of people it becomes nothing more then political patronage and that is big time here in new haven. So election are more fair than appointments.Rember how many appointments by king john have to at reelection time put money into his political coffins.
Now to answer Tim Holahan.
I'm not completely sure what you're saying there, Three Fifths, but let me take a swing: are you saying that by virtue of being appointed by the mayor, Alex will inevitably become a puppet doing the mayor's will?
Yes no doubt.Show me anyone here in new haven politics who is appoint by King John that is a indepedent thinker or will go against him.How do I know this .I had the chance to meet god rest his soul Chuck Allen and I Learned a lot about how king john is. Even if Alex doesn't become a pupppet as you say, what is he going to do about the other puppets who are under king john control now. There is a old saying,If you take the kings meat you must do the kings biding!!! Asked Alex
How does he like his meat medium or rare. Rember most of those who you say under king john who act Independently,I bet you they are no longer around.
You also said I agree that at least at least some of our Board of Ed members should be elected.
I dont' get this one.Why not just elected every member not just some.
You also said You also seem to be saying that, because ConnCAN board members and donors have corporate connections, they are insincere in their commitment to education reform. How so? Even if they're motives are as self-interested as "we need a better-educated work-force", their support can still be useful. I imagine Alex is happy to have it.
Please explain how ConnCAN and/or Alex are de-legitimized by accepting corporate support.
Be cause there motives are self-interestted. Case and point check this statement out and you tell me
if this is not about self-interested .
We�re not speculators. We�re investors.� So says the CEO of a real estate trust that recently sunk some $170 million into 22 charter schools.
Which got me wondering: why charter schools? How do they end up looking like sound investments?
It turns out the buyer, Entertainment Properties Trust (EPR), buys real estate nationwide, with its total portfolio worth about $2.6 billion. Over half of that is in megaplex movie theaters. EPR�s stated goal is to be "the nation's leading destination entertainment, entertainment-related, recreation and specialty real estate company."
Here is the whole store if you want to read it. and also check this one out.
Last to answer you question on this.
Please explain how ConnCAN and/or Alex are de-legitimized by accepting corporate support.
Look at Bank of American that is one of there funding corpartion.Look at the record of bank of American and what it has done to the people.
I would not take money from a Corporation who does business like this.Somethinglike this would de-legitimized any one who took money from this type of corporation.
Bottom line As I said If you take the kings meat
ypu must do the kings biding. Rare or medium done.

New Haven is very good at showing off for the public. Unfortunately, what the public doesn't see is the lack of supplies, shortage of staff and blatant disregard for special needs students in many NH schools. Mayo and his cronies talk a good game - from an office not located inside any school, mind you. But they are hypocrites. Just read their own reform plan: The district wants to attract and retain quality teachers. Then it turns around and gives pathetic non-answers to very real concerns like the serious lack of parental involvement. Of course, when teachers point that out to Mayo and his cronies, they do everything in their power to cast teachers in a poor light and label them as excuse-makers. It's a sin what truly goes on.

Our February 2013 issue also has a world exclusive with US swimming sensation Michael Phelps. The 27-year-old collected an astonishing 22 Olympic medals in just three Games and now he's hung up his Speedos. He tells us how he became the greatest Olympian of all time.
There's our 31-day fitness plan, a day-by-day New Year programme to get you in your best ever shape by February. Our comprehensive fitness test sets the standards for you to test yourself against, including the weights you should be hitting on the bench press and the times you should be clocking over a one mile run. Find out where you range between beginner and elite and learn how you can improve.
On top of that, we've debunked the long-established fitness myths that could be holding you back, and for an all-over fat blasting workout there's a kettlebell drill you can squeeze into your lunch break – all you need is 12 minutes. Elsewhere, our expert tips will enliven your running, while our round-up of running shoes will help you get quicker while staying injury-free.

I often get asked about do I ask permission...,etc. about my street shots. So from time to time I run down my street ninja ethic for those that have not heard it from me before. So here goes... What I hope to capture is a frozen moment of reality in a bubble-in this case through a lens and digital light sensor. Why don't I ask people if it's ok to take their shot...well once you do it's not candid and therefore not what I really am after. Even if people agree maybe they're still going to be a little nervous and that will show. Even good actors have a hard time acting "natural" let alone Mr. and Mrs. Everyman. Even worse than that that is someone giving you some big fake smile and in Asia the "victory sign" (looks the same as our "peace sign"). Am I saying that you can't have a good looking posed portrait or fake smile shot? Well yes and no. It depends what you think looks "good." This is a very subjective matter. Since photography is a very subjective art the photographer gets to be the determinator of the subject-in my case I like candid and natural. That being said, many people are cognizant of me shooting them as I go "click" or maybe a fraction of a second before. For those that realize I shot them before I evaporate into thin air often I'll smile or wave at them-many smile and wave back. Yes, many of the people I shoot are happy about me taking the time to shoot them and finding them worthy as a subject. Sure there are some that don't want to be shot. If it is clear to me that someone doesn't want to be shot I don't shoot them. They wouldn't make a good candid shot anyway-aware and hostile!!! I have erased shots of some that have been shot and told me they would like to be removed-sure why not. I'm out doing this because I want to present these people in a special way, not to generate ill will. Many of my shots are misconstrued by viewers thinking-ha you've been caught or are getting the stink eye... I'm not saying that doesn't happen but in fact Asian people tend not to emote that freely when in a neutral environment. Sure they know how to smile and cry and even scream-it's just that their culture has taught them it's not good to be too emotive and reveal too much of yourself. That being said it delights me when I get a good shot of them being more emotive in their behavior. So I thought I'd just share these tidbits of my gray matter to those of you new to my site or images-thanks A Tribe Called Quest-Award Tour

Last night I was having a discussion with some local friends. The subject of imagination came up. One friend said she has difficulty using her imagination. I knew immediately what she was referring too. The traditional Confucian education system emphasizes rote memorization and favors classics and awareness and acceptance of them over exploring and considering divergent culture or thought. I even told her when I first came here I wondered if so many Taiwanese "could be so dumb" before I realized it was my ignorance of the education system and resulting consequences, and no-not a widespread lack of intelligence as I wrongly intuited. During my early days here locals in the workforce were continually working overtime and had 1 day off a week leaving precious little time or energy to nurture forays into the creative or other areas requiring challenging the imagination.This was the reality behind the export engine Little Dragon Taiwan was at that time.I realize that imagination is not a measuring stick of intelligence and am sure that people can live perfectly happy lives without one-I'm glad that through art I can explore my imagination. I'm also glad that many younger Taiwanese are also developing their imaginations and creative impulses.
Something Strange

There's something strange going on tonight,

There's something going down that wasn't here before,
keep your eyes glues to the floor,
no-one's gonna save your life,

Don't you just love those guys(usually men, probably exclusively men) that make the guns with their fingers and make that "chit, chit" sound like they're pulling the triggers in their playful smarmy way?

Sometimes the light is the star. It certainly sets and dictates to the mood. I really feel this shot captured the serenity and beauty of the moment.

New Work City cofounder Tony Bacigalupo and cofounder of Girl Develop It, Sara Chipps pose with others at the .CO Under the Bulb party. Tumblr
Hurricane Sandy has passed through New York City, but for many struggling with down technology the storm's impact is far from over. A partnership between the 28,000 member New York Tech Meetup (NYTM) and New Work City, a unique coworking space for "independents" is gathering the tech-saavy to help ease the pain.
"We made it through a tremendous storm, but many in our community are facing significant losses," wrote Jessica Lawrence, NYTM's managing director in an email. "NY Tech Meetup and New Work City are organizing volunteers with technology skills to help with relief efforts and help New York-area businesses and organizations get their technology back up and running after Hurricane Sandy."
For now the organizations are creating a database of volunteers willing to help with the rebuilding until it becomes more evident exactly which businesses need what help, according to Lawrence.
If you have skills to offer, please sign up here.
Foundnd in 2004, the New York Tech Meetup is one of the largest and most active meetups in the world. It hosts a monthly, sold-out demo night for about a dozen innovative companies and well over 1,000 audience members, among many other activities. The organization's executive director, Nate Westheimer, was voted New York's Most Influencial Techie last week, beating out Rachel Haot, the city's chief digital officer, and Fred Wilson, cofounder and managing partner of Union Square Ventures an investor in Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare, and Zynga.
Kickstarter-backed New Work City is tough to describe. It tends to be a collaborative space of independent workers who pay a monthly fee to be near each other and create together. But it's also sometimes a debate hall, and sometimes a party. Opened in 2008, the space is an incubator of sorts, and for young entrepreneurs looking to gather momentum by being around like-minded people it is affordable workspace in a startup environment.
Even as NYTM and New Work City organize to help, many of their own events and events they are affiliated with have been cancelled or rescheduled including the New York Tech Swagger fundraiser, the API Strategy Conference, and MakeItNYC, a panel on the secrets of a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Main Event fighters on the left, Spot for Jon Jones' signature on the right... via pbs.twimg.com
Now the dust has settled, we come to a point in time where title matches that mean something are a thing of the past. Welcome to UFC 152 weekend Brownstars! Seriously some exciting matchups this weekend – maybe not in reality – but some decent Brownstar Fantasy bouts!
First off I do want to recap what COULD have been – Dan Henderson (The Scarnon Collective) vs Jon Jones (Scotti's Dogs) was going to be THE matchup of the Brownstar league so far. Couple that fight with a couple of side bets floating around it was going to be a great event! In fact – so great – that I made the fanpost early about it... And then Dana White made a phone call that tore through my rectum.
Chael fucking Sonnen, Jon... It was Chael fucking Sonnen, Jon! Way to look like a pussy Mr Jones...
Moving onto the event that is finally coming around(I'm still waiting for Vitor's injury...) we have had some changes in the pool so before I look into the matchups this weekend I need to clarify what's going down. A few free agents have been picked up since the last event we had – Full list is as follows:
|The Pride:
|Jacob Volkmann
|Jimy Hettes
|Team Tap or Snap:
|Josh Koscheck
|Simeon Thoresen
|Scotti's Dogs
|Chael Sonnen
|Rousimar Palhares
|The Scarnon Collective
|Nick Diaz
|Kyle Noke
|Team Toad
|Igor Pokrajac
|Hector Lombard
As you may have noticed, Team Toad is listed with a substitution "to be announced" – This is due to that motherfucker having 2 LHWs in the one EVENT! Damn Toad – You gotta strip one down! The way I see it, and this is open for discussion below, is that Toad will need to drop either Vitor Belfort or Igor Pokrajac in favour for a MW as he currently has no MW. I know it's a tricky situation and I have only just realised in putting this post together that someone had picked Vitor Belfort. Scottidog jumped the gun with his team and dropped Chael Sonnen before he even had a fight announced at 205 as he wanted to avoid a situation like this... Cunning bastard he is!
EDIT: Wisetoad has elected to drop Igor Pokrajac in favour of keeping Vitor Belfort at 205 and has picked up Hector Lombard at 185 as a replacement.
So I have re uploaded the current team lists to Photobucket and have linked the full list just below.
Leading into this event the correct leadership table is below:
The crazy ass matchups for UFC 152 are as follows:
WW Kyle Noke (The Scarnon Collective) vs Charlie Brenneman
WW Seth Baczynski vs Simeon Thoresen (Team Tap or Snap)
FW Jimy Hettes (The Pride) vs Marcus Brimage
First fight on the card we have a Scarnon collective newcomer Kyle Noke taking on the Story killer, Charlie Brennemen in an awesome first fight of the card! The next Brown Star fighting is Simeon Thoresen, another newcomer for Team Tap or Snap, against Seth Baczynski in a fight which should resemble DYN-O-MITE! The Pride has another newly recruited free agent in Jimy Hettes going to war against Marcus Brimage... What can I say – enjoy your points fella!
LHW Igor Pokrajac (FORMERLY Team Toad) vs Vinny Magalhaes
Moving along, with the last fight on FX, here we have a tricky one... Igor Pokrajac MAY be a free agent or he MAY be Toad's.... I would personally prefer Toad drops him – I think the main event is a better Brown Star fight ;)
EDIT: Igor Pokrajac is now listed as a free agent.
MW Michael Bisping (Team Joben) vs Brian Stann (Phase by the Books)
Onto the CO co main event of the evening which should be CO main event to the REAL MAIN EVENT of Joey Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson, we have Michael Bisping of Team Joben taking on Brian Stann of Phase by the Books... THIS my friends is going to be a CRACKER! Good luck to both of you guys as I think someone's losing points here...
LHW Jon Jones (Scotti's Dogs) vs Vitor Belfort (Team Toad)
Now – Here is the Ultimate FARCICAL Championship LHW title fight: One of Scotti's Dogs – Jon Jones is set to take on Team Toad's VITOR BELFORT! I'm not mentioning anything more of my distaste for this fight other than I hope Toad gets 7 points for this one....
Speaking of points, here is the scoring we are working with:
SCORING 5 points for a win 5 bonus points for the CHALLENGER beating the CHAMPION in a title fight 2 points for a finish 2 points for a draw 1 point for Fight of the Night (whether your guys wins or loses) -2 points for a loss -3 points for getting finished -1 point for getting finished in a title fight Contender fight rule SCRAPPED by democratic vote
Enjoy the weigh ins guys – dont forget to make your playground picks if you're in a pool – and make sure you have plenty of beer for Saturday night because I think the first 11 fights(besides Hamill scraping out a decision) will be amazing!
Quick note:
Now – what the fuck happened to Ulf's league?! The fanpost was left with Deuce to make his pick and now its just dead.... We gonna spark that shit up with old man Ulf for this event?! http://www.mmamania.com/2012/8/23/3263653/fantasy-draft-lets-do-this-again-ufc-152

At 7:30a.m., like every morning, Bryan Laviolette left his home, hopped in his car and started the long drive to work from Howell to Lansing.
But his usual 45 minute commute, will be a little longer today and it's not because of the weather.
"You never know what this guy is going to do. You don't know what his motive is, why he's doing this," says Laviolette.
This "guy" is the serial shooter who's been terrorizing Mid-Michigan highways for two weeks now.
Laviolette normally takes 1-96 into Lansing, but this week, and possibly until he's caught, Laviolette's chosen to ride the backroads and avoid the highway as much as possible.
"I really dislike it that he has affected my life in anyway. As far as I'm concerned, he's a terrorist. It's just a small thing that I can do to be safe," says Laviolette.
The detour adds about 10 to 15 minutes to his commute, with a little more stop and go traffic, but as many agree, it's better to be safe than sorry.
"I just refuse to allow this guy to affect me in that way. There could just as easily be someone who dies because they're trying to look for this black sedan he's driving and they lose control of their car then there's a chance of being his by one of his bullets," he says.
But there is a chance, and if all it takes is a little change to bring a lot of piece of mind, this detour is well worth it.
Authorities are offering $102,000 to catch the shooter. If you have any information, call 1-800-Speak-Up or CrimeStoppers at 517-483-STOP.

Effingham Daily News
"We don't have the staff to administer it effectively," said city Administrator Jim Arndt.
Since 1977, the city has levied taxes for the program and administered it for Unit 40 and St. Anthony schools. However, Arndt said the city is no longer able to use staff resources for the program and officially notified the school systems earlier this month.
Arndt said the decision to hand the program over to the schools had to do with the city's need to use its own employees to fill in as crossing guards when needed.
"Staff has had to fill in quite a bit, we have such a limited staff the way it is," he said.
Arndt said throughout the years, the city has had to resort to using staff mainly because crossing guard positions are difficult to fill.
"You're trying to hire a person who has to work a couple of hours in the morning and afternoon. It makes it hard to work anywhere else," he said.
Positions typically have been filled by retirees or parents who must commit for the entire school year. The city has four crossing guards and two substitutes.
"It's hard to find individuals, and when you have to utilize staff at city hall to do those positions, it takes away what we are effectively able to do at the city," he said.
Arndt said a statewide survey found about an even number of municipalities and school districts administering such programs.
"In the larger cities, they typically don't," he said.
Unit 40 Superintendent Mark Doan said in his experience with other districts, the municipality has maintained the program. He said the district, having recently been notified, will have to gather more information and discuss the situation further.
One of the decisions the two school systems will have to make is how to fund the program.
Because under a state statute school districts cannot levy taxes for the program, Arndt said the city would still be able to levy taxes for the 2013-14 school year when it will relinquish control of the program.
Arndt said if the schools continue to have the city levy for the program, an intergovernmental agreement would have to be approved by both entities.
Rhonda Haythorne has been a crossing guard for six years. She was concerned when she was notified by the city at the beginning of the school year that the change may be a possibility.
"I depend on it. It's a job even if it's only for a few hours a day," she said. "When you do a job this long, it's a disappointment to get that kind of notice."
Haythorne also has another part-time job, and as a parent, she said the hours are convenient. Plus, there's another added bonus.
"I get to know the kids and see them grow up," she said.
Uncertain of the future, Haythorne hopes to continue the work next year.
"I enjoy doing it very much," she said.

Randy Couture goes by a few nicknames: The main two, "The Natural" and "Captain America," are well-placed nicknames. Any fan who has been watching Couture for any period of time knows he could easily go by another nickname as well: "The Magician."
That's because Couture has pulled a rabbit out of his hat so many times we're starting to lose count. During this seven-part series leading to his fight with former light-heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida at UFC 129, we'll take a look at all those times Couture has pulled the rabbit out of his hat while becoming one of the most beloved fighters in the history of the sport and ask if he can do it again as he enters yet another fight as a heavy underdog coming up in less than two weeks at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario.
Today, we look at Couture's return to the UFC after a nearly year-long contract dispute.
Part 1 I Part 2 I Part 3 I Part 4 I Part 5
The moment: Couture goes to war with Nogueira
Couture returned to the UFC in September 2008 and it was announced he'd defend his UFC heavyweight title against Brock Lesnar. Well, an interim title had already been created and was going to be contested between champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Frank Mir with the winners meeting to unify the title down the line. With both Couture and Nogueira losing by TKO in their respective fights, it was only natural for the two to meet in the "consolation bracket" of the UFC heavyweight title tournament.
When the two clashed at UFC 102 in Portland, Ore., expectations were not that high. Like usual, many were questioning how much Couture had left in the tank and more so, people were extremely worried about Nogueira after he looked lifeless in the loss to Mir. Many people were looking at this fight as some sort of sad affair between two aging veterans. What it instead turned into was a legitimate Fight of the Year candidate.
The two went back-and-forth but it was Nogueira, the former PRIDE heavyweight champion, who had the better offense, dropping Couture and almost choking him out on multiple occasions. The two battled it out, eventually going to the scorecards where Nogueira won a unanimous decision (30-27x2, 29-28). Both men earned "Fight of the Night" honors for their performances, which could stand as the last great fight in the careers of both men, each of whom have had their fair share of epics.
Stay with us after the jump for another moment ...
The moment: Couture bounces back, wins three straight
Having lost a dream fight at heavyweight, Couture moved back down to the light-heavyweight division for a UFC 105 main event bout with Brandon Vera on a Spike TV show from England.
As our very own Brent Brookhouse wrote at the time:
In a fight that was mostly fought with Brandon Vera's back against the fence Randy Couture was able to pull off a narrow unanimous decision. In the moments where the fight was fought at a distance Vera was able to score with kicks. Vera's best moment came in the second round when he landed a kick to the body and a knee that forced Randy to turn his back and fall to the mat. He wasn't able to finish though and Couture controlled the majority of the final round to secure the judges scorecards.
Having made a successful return to light-heavyweight, Couture remained there for a UFC 109 main event fight with former UFC heavyweight champion Mark Coleman. In a fight dubbed "Age in the Cage," Couture dominated Coleman, eventually taking him down in the second round, mounting and then choking him unconscious when Coleman gave up his back.
In one of the biggest freak show fights the Zuffa-promoted UFC has ever run, Couture moved back to heavyweight for a bout with former boxing heavyweight champion James Toney at UFC 118. The hype for the fight was something else. Would Toney be able to knock out Couture before he got taken down? Leading into the fight, Toney claimed to have choked out "King Mo Mousasi" in practice, so Couture had every reason to be fearful of Toney in all aspects of the game.
Well, Couture came out and landed a hilarious low-single takedown on Toney, shooting from halfway across the cage, and Toney never got off his back again, as Couture landed some ground-and-pound before eliciting the tap with an arm-triangle choke at the 3:19 mark.
The win was Couture's third straight, and at 47 years old no less.
On the next edition of The Magic of Randy Couture: We'll ponder if Couture can pull the rabbit out of his hat one more time when he faces Machida on Saturday at UFC 129. We'll also wrap up the series.

I don't want to write too much about the game right now, mostly because I didn't see stretches of it and I plan on watching it this morning. But I do present the following, which shows you what each player's Game Score would've been had they played 40 minutes (and theoretically kept their play up):
Cisco 7.3
Reef 5.1
B-rad 11.2
Kevin 7.3
Bibby 14.0
Nasty 21.3
Hart 0.0
Kenny 6.9
Price 16.7
So yeah. There you go. I was hoping for a little more from KMart, and Reef had his worst game since in a long time. But still. It was so ugly in the first quarter that to lose by less than 40 was a feat in itself.
Oh, and uh Jason Hart? I'm sorry, but uh you have been dismissed. Ouch.

Brad Turner directed the episode written by Albert Kim.

A Fort Stewart soldier went to "extreme" lengths to teach his teenage daughter a lesson on Monday.
The man, who did not want to be identified, was fed up with his daughter's messy room so he moved everything out of her bedroom and put it in the family's driveway while she was at school Monday.
Accompanying her belongings was a sign that read, "Haley, room moved to driveway. Clean it next time."
The home is located on Mustang Lane in the Horse Creek subdivision of Ludowici, which is near Savannah.
The father told us that his daughter was initially upset and said that the move was "extreme."
But it worked out for both in the end.
The father says they have hired a painter to come in tomorrow and give Haley's bedroom a fresh coat of paint in hopes that she will keep it cleaner from now on.

What can you say about wild, wild Super Bowl XLVII?
A ton, actually. It was such a crazy game, the Baltimore Ravens' weird 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers, that it almost defies analysis. This game will be dissected for a long time to come.
For the ultimate analysis, I guess we'll have to call in an electrician.
Even aside from the infamous power blackout, odd things happened.
- Baltimore's kick returner/wide receiver Jacoby Jones returning the second half kickoff 108 yards for a Super Bowl record touchdown. It was Jacoby's second touchdown in a little over two game minutes, having hauled in a 56-yard scoring strike from Joe Flacco earlier.
The 49ers did a good job of kicking away from the fleet Jones on punts, but it's much more difficult to kick away from a big threat on kickoffs.
By the way, Jones' TD catch was helped by a bonehead play from 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver. When Jones fell down after making the catch, Culliver literally leaped over him to avoid contact.
Did he not know that this is pro football, not college? Excuse me, Chris? You have to make contact with the ball carrier to rule him officially down.
- The amazing 49ers rally, where they scored 17 points in a little more than four minutes, was something to see. First, they score like lightning on a 31-yard scoring pass from Colin Kaepernick to Michael Crabtree, then lightning strikes again after a 32-yard punt return from Ted Ginn sets them up on the Baltimore 20. Two plays later, Frank Gore scores from six yards out.
Finally, much-criticized David Akers kicks a 33-yard field goal after being given a second chance by the Ravens, who were called for a penalty after Akers missed the first one.
- Just as impressive was the Ravens' goal-line stand, after it seemed certain the 49ers were destined for the greatest of all Super Bowl comebacks.
San Francisco had first-and-goal late from the seven-yard line late in the four quarter. This is when Ray Lewis, the much celebrated, much-maligned leader of the Baltimore defense for the last 17 years, showed his leadership skills, settling down his defensive mates.
"Nobody ever panicked," Lewis told the media throng after the game. "Everybody looked at each other and there was no panic. When you have that, when your back is against the wall and they have three more plays at the goal line and if we all do our jobs, they won't get in."
They did their jobs. One rush for two yards and three incomplete passes. Baltimore wins the 2013 Super Bowl.
No matter what you think of Lewis, thug or saint, not a bad, final gift to Baltimore.
- What would a Super Bowl be without a controversial call from the refs? This one was a doozy, actually a couple of doozies, and involved that last-gasp defensive stand by the Ravens.
There was a question of pass interference on the third play of the series on Crabtree and then Baltimore cornerback Jimmy Smith was all over Crabtree on the last play, when Kaepernick's pass sailed high over his head.
It was a non-call, though, with the referees ruling the contact was incidental.
Crabtree and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh obviously disagreed, though both handled their comments with dignity.
"There's no question in my mind that there was a pass interference," he told ESPN. "And then a hold on Crabtree on the last one."
Replays, however, showed that the no-call was a good call on the last play.
So what is to be taken away from this game?
Most observers thought the 49ers would win, and they were favored, though by less than a touchdown.
"In any objective analysis, the 49ers are more talented, younger and faster than the Ravens," wrote Tim Kawakami in a blog for the San Jose Mercury News.
And in truth, those young 49ers actually had some statistical edges, outgaining the Ravens 468 yards to 367, for example. Both young quarterbacks played well, with Flacco being named MVP.
But, in the end, with the game on the line, it was the veterans who came through, spearheaded by Lewis.
Chalk this one up for the old fellas.

Mills leads Astros into spring games
New manager gets first chance to show off style Thursday
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- The Astros will get their first look at what Brad Mills is capable of doing as a manager in a game situation when Houston opens Grapefruit League play Thursday at 12:05 p.m. CT against the Washington Nationals in Viera, Fla.
Mills, hired in October to replaced Cecil Cooper as manager, will send fellow newcomer Brett Myers to the mound to face the Nationals. The Astros started last spring with one win in their first 20 games, but Mills says wins and losses aren't important. He wants the players to be aggressive.
"We want guys, if they're going to make mistakes, we want them to do it down here in Spring Training, no doubt," Mills said. "We want guys to be aggressive because it's much easier to pull guys back. The evaluation comes when they make the mistakes, and why they made them and so on."
Following Myers, the Astros will throw Wandy Rodriguez on Friday at 12:05 p.m. in Lakeland against Detroit and ace Roy Oswalt will make his spring debut Saturday at 12:05 p.m. at Osceola County Stadium against Atlanta. Mills is keeping his lineup for Thursday's opener under wraps, but first baseman Lance Berkman won't play after an MRI revealed a left knee bruise on Tuesday.
"It will be fun to get everything squared away and get moving," Mills said "The players are tired of taking the ground balls and doing the fundamentals and those types of things. They can't wait to get out there and see somebody else wear another uniform."

Mange Treatment
Mange Treatment is a must!
Before going to Mange Treatment, let us first know what is mange. Mange is a skin condition that includes scabies, red mange, ear mite infections and cheyletiella which is caused by mange mites in mostly dogs and cats. There are several non toxic Mange Treatments on the market that can offer the correct Mange Creams for your pet.
If you are dealing with one of the conditions more severe forms, Demodex Mites, Ear Mites or Sacoptic Mites, then you definitely need to begin a Mange Treatment quickly, as these variations can cause your pet to become seriously ill as a result of them. In addition to the previously mentioned forms there are many other kinds of Mange Mites which can pose a threat to your pets – and to livestock as well.
Sarcoptic mange or scabies can affect dogs, cats and even humans amongst other animals. The Notoedres mite cause intense irritation and itching in humans and animals. They can be transferred from the pet on to the human though if the pet is disinfected on time the symptoms would disappear within a few weeks in the humans. The mites burrow themselves under the skin in the ear, face and elbows. Crusty skin on the ear is a sign of scabies in dogs.
If not treated with a Mange Treatment they would cause discomfort in your pet along with scabs, serum seepage or itchy red boils and the infection may turn severe. If your pet has patches of bald skin then that is one of the first signs of Mange. Another way to know for sure if your pet has mange is to have the vet take a skin biopsy to ensure it is not another symptom of a different disease.
Steroid creams such as cortisone can be used to relieve some of the itching, as well as the redness and irritation. Bathing the animal is also recommended, using dandruff shampoos followed by any vet-recommended insecticides.
The Demodex variation of the infection is not contagious, but you still want to get it checked out and treated with a Mange Treatment as quickly as possible, because you run the risk of causing a secondary infection in your pet if you don't. With Demodex, your pet will experience the same itching, irritation and discomfort as with the other types of Mange, so of course you want to relieve your pet from that in the fastest time with a quick, easy but non toxic Mange Treatment.
Not all dogs and cats are affected by this mange mite but some of them are severely affected and this is caused by hormonal changes, suppressed immunity system or a genetic disorder. That's why, Mange Treatment must be applied immediately before it gets worse. This disorder is seen mostly in pups going through hormonal changes and most animals recover from it without a Mange Treatment.
Do Mange Treatment Now Before it's too late for your pet!
We recommend a Mange Treatment to ensure safe recovery and that includes boosting the dog's immune system with tonics and vitamins. Baths with a Benzoyl peroxide shampoo would help the pet or a medicated Pet Wash.
Cats tend to be a bit more sensitive than dogs are to certain chemicals, so you will have to be more careful in the Mange Treatment you administer; you should be looking for a Mange Treatment specifically designed for pets such as Mange Treatment from PetsBestRx. Definitely consult your vet when dealing with a cat with a Mange condition.
Being clean is the best Mange Treatment!
If you keep your pet healthy, clean with regular baths and administer various vitamins to boost their immunity then you should not have any severe problems with mangemites. Maybe, this could be the best Mange Treatment. Mange Treatment include homeopathy, non toxic as well as allopath.

Who Is Scaring Bank of America's CEO?
Bank of America's (NYSE:BAC) fourth-quarter results had a clear message: It still pays to be in banking. In the fourth quarter, not only did net income jump 369 percent to $3.4 billion, but the bank posted a dramatic 84.8 percent decline in provisions for credit losses, a 48.4 percent decline in net charge-offs, and the net charge-off ratio — the rate at which debt has to be purged from a bank's books — declined from 1.4 percent to 0.68 percent.
But while those gains show that the institution is strengthening its financial position, despite the progress, Bank of America still has whole host of problems to face, ranging from increased regulatory controls to lingering litigation to rising competition from its smaller commercial banking peers.
That larger American banks are concerned smaller rivals will be able to entice their customers away became obvious during a November panel discussion known as the "chairmen's panel." With Joe Walsh of McKinsey & Co.'s Financial Regulation practice as moderator, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan, U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:UBS) CEO Richard Davis, and PNC Financial (NYSE:PNC) CEO William Demchak gathered to discuss "emerging trends in the banking industry."
When talking about the challenges of meeting the needs of customers, Walsh asked Moynihan to say who he was most worried would steal his customers. Turning to his right, he said U.S. Bancorp's Davis, per Bloomberg's video coverage of the event. Demchak of PNC Financial Services added, "Yeah, I'd say Richard." Davis's firm has surpassed its larger rivals in terms of stock market valuation.

Bainbridge-- Governor Sonny Perdue toured the state today promoting his program Conserve Georgia.
He wrapped up the tour at Silver Lake in Decatur county. The state purchased the more than 2,500 acres for $10 million to turn it into a Wildlife Management Area to be run by the Department of Natural Resources.
DNR Commissioner Noel Holcomb says, "Its absolutely critical in my opinion. As population grows and our greenspace opportunity dwindles we've got to have places to educate our kids about Natural resources of the state and just to have quality of life for our citizens."
The area will be open to the public for fishing and hiking August first and open for hunting August 15th.

(WMC) - A 1979 Chevrolet Corvette will be delivered to its rightful owner in Detroit after it was stolen more than three decades ago.
Mississippi Bureau of Investigation found the car at a residence in Colombia near the state's southern border.
The Secretary of State discovered an individual tried to register two Corvettes under the same vehicle identification number, which is when the first car was located in a Michigan community last year.
Miss. authorities, while working with Michigan State Police, recovered 71-year-old George Talley's treasured, silver Corvette on June 17. With 47,000 miles, it still runs.
"They looked into it [the theft], but didn't recover it and nothing happened, and 33 years passed," Talley told Detroit Free Press. "It was a great thing that the MSP and Mississippi State troopers, they did their job and found it."
But all that time isn't too late for justice. MBI agents said in a news release they need help in the ongoing investigation; they ask anyone with information to call law enforcement.
In the meantime, Talley's former employer General Motors announced Wednesday they will pay to have the car shipped from the Hattiesburg police station to Detroit.
